And there you go, there's CBS evening 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: news coverage of the war and Iran. 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: You ask one guy, did the war make the US stronger? Weaker? 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: He goes with weaker and and other news What the hell? 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: I actually uttered an oath out loud when I saw 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: that in the news last night. I like Elliot Ackerman. 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: That was the analyst there. His book about war one 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: of the best things I've ever read in my life 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: about war. Highly recommended to anyone. Chat he reads the 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: book if you do the audiobook, but it so good. 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, asking one guy. 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: Who says this has it's been bad for the United States, like, well, 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: that's the final word is nuts. If you've been paying 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: attention to the war at all. 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: They're all kinds of different opinions by lots of people. 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: Giving their straight analysis of it's been a success, it's 23 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: been a failure. It's been this, it's that, you know, 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: mixture of that's just why why do we need to 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: do this? Why treat us like we're idiots? 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: Because we are idiots? Is that why? That's the one 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: right there? 28 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: He has The CBS Evening News got that and bothered 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: me quote unquote journalists talking heads. They're so incurious, as 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm frequently saying, I mean, it was obvious that he 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: was noodling through the answer and gave an answer it's 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: made us sweaker? How do you not follow up with 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: in what way you obviously were struggling to answer that 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: definitively tell me about your thinking. No, of course, not no, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: you just tunt tiger pad things, tunt tuger pat and 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: actually just we're going to play that to tease that. 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the war in Iran later not here. 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: But every one of these discussions, whether it's made us weaker, stronger, 39 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: price of gas, whatever it is around with the war 40 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: with Iran has needs to be filtered through the is 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: it worth it to stop them from having a nuclear weapon? 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: Filter and a heap and helping of we're in the 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: middle of it, so hard to say yeah. 44 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: And it's not over yet. But anyway, more on that later. 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: So the Epstein note is out. 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: Here's what it said, if they find my body, Hillary 47 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: did it signed Epstein's Mom, which is a joke. Got 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: a ways to interpret that. It's a puzzle. You can 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: only get the Epstein's Mom joke if you're at least 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: sixty years old from Welcome Back to Cotter Back in 51 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: the Day. Anyway, here's the actual report on Epstein's suicide note, 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: whether it's real or not. 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: This is the purported suicide note that is for i'mercell mate, 54 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: claims Jeffrey Epstein left behind the first time he tried 55 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: to kill himself in jail. A federal judge ordered it 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: unsealed tonight, giving the public and investigators their first look 57 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: at it. They investigated me for month, found nothing. The 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: note said, it is a treat to be able to 59 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: choose one's time to say goodbye. 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: What you want me to do? No fun? Not worth it? 61 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Wow, all right, you know it's funny. I had the 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: same gripe. The Wall Street Journal has an article about 63 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: this thing. It is three six seven lines long, partial 64 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: lines long, and they all edit it and summarize it 65 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: for you. 66 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: It's seven lines long. Just say what it says. Here's 67 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: what it says. 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: They investigated me for month, found nothing, so fifteen year 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: old charges unreadable. It is a treat to be able 70 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: to decide, choose when time to say goodbye? What you 71 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: want me to do? Bust out crying, no fun not 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: worth it. That's my new slogan, no fun, not worth it. 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bellow that as I leave many a gathering, meetings, 74 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: court hearings, you name it. Oh leave not. You're not 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: arguing toward hanging yourself with your pants. You're a different argument. 76 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand up and say, no fun, not worth 77 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: it and walk out. Aaron Katterski of ABC News goes 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: on to say that it hasn't been verified if it's 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: real or not, at least yet, and the question looms 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: of if this existed all these years, how did it 81 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: just come out now, which seems a little as a 82 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: sealed part of a case involving one of his cellmates, 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: but still somebody, somebody had to know that existed. 84 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: Did the cell mate knew exist? Obviously? And various lawyers, judges. 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Whoever, all this time, with everything going on with Epstein, 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: there was a suicide note out there and it was 87 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: kept secret. 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: I just I'm this. I find out where to believe. 89 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: This con it was one of his possession. I don't 90 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: know the law around this. It's possible it would be 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: highly illegal to release it as its evidence in a 92 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: case this guy was I would guess trying to use 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: it as leverage. 94 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: To get a reduced sentence or whatever. You're gonna tell me. 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: Nobody would make an illegal leak around the Epstein case 96 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: at this point. 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. That would be unethical. Jack, Really a throw 98 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: back your head, hilarious statement right there. 99 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: H G. Yeah, yeah, especially if TMZ's paying, you know, 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: seven figures for it or whatever. Everything around the Epstein 101 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: case has been a probably shouldn't have been leaked from 102 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: day one. 103 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, true enough? 104 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: What and it's his first suicide attempt, which I had 105 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: forgotten existed, which to me makes it all the more. 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Likely that he killed himself, which I've always believed anyway. 107 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: The fact that he tried to kill himself once before, 108 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: and nobody's doubting that that was real or I've never 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: heard anybody doubt that his first suicide attempt was for real. 110 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: If you try to kill yourself once and fail and 111 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: then you end up killing yourself and everybody jumps to 112 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: at the conclusion of wuldn't have killed himself? 113 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: Seems kind of weird to me, of course. 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, my collage you need to use?

Yeah? 119 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: Is that the kind of note you would write right 120 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: before you hang yourself in your cell? I like the 121 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: it's a treat to be able to choose one's time 122 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: to say goodbye. 123 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: That sounds real, sure, but. 124 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: No, No, of course he's a sociopath, at least incredibly 125 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: self indulgent, to the point of victimizing many other people. 126 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Because I was about to say, you got nothing for kids, wife, friends, posterity, nothing. 127 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: But he's a sociopath who lived purely for his own 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: pleasure and the pleasure had come to an end. 129 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: So well, he probably had. 130 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Neither wife nor kids, so that would be odd to shout. 131 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: Out to them. 132 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: He has no kids, I don't think, so never married.

So we've got to 177 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: talk about the Warner Iran at some point where we 178 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: are on that there was a mayoral debate for Los Angeles. 179 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I really get the sense that in terms of news coverage, 180 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: I think in California and nationally, there seems to be 181 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: more attention on the mayoral race in LA than the 182 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: governor's race. 183 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: For whatever reason, there's a lot there, I think. 184 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the personalities or the storyline 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: with the fires or whatever. 186 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's it. 187 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: You've got a entertainment because you've got some big personalities, 188 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: including the Spencer Pratt is that today. Yeah, I'm not 189 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: young enough to have watched his reality show, but so 190 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you got him, you got Karen Bass, who's a big name. 191 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: You have the Wildfire, which is a compelling narrative, and 192 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: you've got a city that may be the target of 193 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: more fascination around the world than anywhere else. Los Angeles. 194 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: We're dreams and movies are born. So we've got some 195 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: of the debate stuff a little bit later this hour, 196 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: and we want to talk about the rise of anti Semitism. 197 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: But this is my favorite clip of the day. This 198 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: is we opened the show with the opening clip from 199 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: the show. There, Michael, this is about the people getting 200 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: sick and dying on the ship, the cruise ship and 201 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. They think they've nailed down 202 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: where the haunt of virus came from. 203 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: The point of infection may have been Argentina, where investigators 204 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 4: say the leading theory is that a couple caught the 205 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: disease before boarding. I've exposed a road and its starring 206 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: a bird watching tour that included a stop at a landfill. 207 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 2: Wow, honey, did you sign us up for this tour? 208 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: A let's stop here in Argentina and go check out 209 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: the See I've got every book, every bird in my book. 210 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: I've checked the mark, including some very rare birds. 211 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: But I haven't seen the the Argentine Uran trash s 212 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: bird yet. 213 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: So let's go over to this landfill and watch it 214 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: pick around in the garbage. Sure a lot of rat 215 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: feces around here. Anyway, Well, we wouldn't worry about it. 216 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I would worry about it either. Holy crap. Yeah, I'm 217 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: telling you that's that's that's not a pleasant outing. I 218 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: always thought part of the whole bird watching appeal would 219 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: be some of the locals you would go to to 220 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: to absort birds. Not a landfill, right, honey, Look, it's 221 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the Argentinian refuse hawk, beautiful plumage. Or maybe they were 222 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,479 Speaker 1: rat watching and they followed the rats to a bird sanctuary, 223 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: and we're disappointed at all the birds flying around. 224 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: Rat watching. That's what I should do summer. 225 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to see the North American Subway rat. 226 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: It's asa rats they got there in New York you. Oh, yeah, 227 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: more on the way that we mentioned stay here. 228 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 5: Ah. 229 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: The more I read about this, the more interested I 230 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: am at the very first ever enhanced Olympics is coming 231 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: up in two weeks in Las Vegas. Peter Thiel is 232 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: behind it. He's one of the PayPal mafia billionaire dudes. 233 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: You've probably heard of me, gets involved in politics all 234 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: the time. I think, yeah, Don Trump Junior is a 235 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: partner with one company that's helped behind this. Anyway, the 236 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: premise is pretty easy to understand, you know how, they're 237 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: really really do their best to crack down on doping 238 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: in most of your sports, whether it's the Tour de 239 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: France or obviously the Olympics or anything like that. This 240 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: competition is saying there will be no blood tests. 241 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: Show up and race. Oh, just do whatever you want 242 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 2: to do. The roid games. 243 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, anabolic steroids, peptides, I don't even know what that is, 244 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: growth hormone stimulants, metabolic modulators, whatever you want to do, 245 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: do it. Competing in track, swimming, weightlifting, attempting to beat 246 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: official world records. Twenty five million dollars in total athlete 247 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: compensation on the line, So there's a lot of prize 248 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: money to be made for winning, whereas most of your 249 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: athletic events, you know you're not winning any money you hoped. 250 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: Maybe you make money off endorsements if you win, but 251 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: you don't get paid for being the world's fastest man 252 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,359 Speaker 1: until you start doing endorsements. 253 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: Is this brought to. 254 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: You by GNC or something? What is the point of this, Well, 255 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: the I don't know if they're trying to put a 256 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: positive spin on it or if they actually mean it, 257 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: but to a certain extent, it's going to be to 258 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: let regular people know about supplements you can take that 259 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: will help you with your ten K or this or 260 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: that that aren't really harmful, certainly if you're going to 261 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: just use them for a while in your life. 262 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: There's no no you know, bad effects for a lot 263 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: of this stuff. But I don't know how you're going 264 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: to separate that out. 265 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: From Okay, so that guy's taking something I could sprinkle 266 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: on my fruit smoothie in the morning that would give 267 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: me a little more energy. How you gonna separate that 268 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: out from the fact that he's also taken human growth 269 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: hormone for the last twenty years and he looks like 270 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: a freak. Yeah, this seems completely ridiculous to me, and 271 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: I was right. So it's bought to you by supplement makers. 272 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think it's kind to get you to 273 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: gobble whatever. Yeah, great, to a certain extent. They just 274 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: want to see what the limits are of the human 275 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: body when using the best available supplements. Drugs you can 276 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: take to run fast, lift weights. Yeah, I'd say it's 277 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: going to be used to build Chinese super soldiers. But honestly, 278 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: they got robot dogs with machine guns coming out of 279 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: their eyes, so they don't need super soldiers, and they're 280 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: they're I guarantee they're already. 281 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: Doing this anyway, They got the right right. 282 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, they got platoons of men on all kinds of supplements, 283 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: growth hormones, whatever. You know. The the Nazis famously and 284 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: we didn't know this until the nineties. 285 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: The Nazis. 286 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: Famously, the reason they were able to pull off what 287 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: they pulled off. 288 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: Was they were on meth. 289 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: That's how they did day after day without sleeping attacks 290 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: and nobody could stop them. 291 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: They're on math, maths and radios. That's right. 292 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, You're going to have a couple of heart 293 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: attacks on the field of play, and you know, various 294 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: infections and strokes and whatnot. But these guys know what 295 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: they're doing. They're they're grown men and women. Have some 296 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: suspicious bulges in the women's uniforms, but that might be 297 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: a transgender thing, you don't know. 298 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: I have no problem with this. I can't wait to 299 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: see it. 300 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: Now. 301 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: Your Olympic body and various other races where they try 302 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: to keep drugs out of it are hardcore against us 303 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: and hate it and have banned, preemptively banned any athlete 304 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: that competes in this or coach. You're not allowed to 305 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: participate in any of the you know, sanctioned non drug 306 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: athletic events anywhere in the world. Wow, you've you've gone 307 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: to the dark side. So you kept using the something 308 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: or other Olympics Obviously that's not the act. 309 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: The Enhanced Games is the actual name the Enhanced Games. 310 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: I see, okay, yeah, yeah, huh yeah, the Royd Olympics 311 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it or whatever. People 312 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: will start calling it. Uh, there's a money Python was 313 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: it money Python bit way back in the days where 314 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: somebody's trying to lift a really heavy weight and they 315 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: pull and then their arms pull off. 316 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: In voice sports everywhere that probably opened. Yeah, yeah, that's 317 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: beautiful tons of money on the line. 318 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: They got two point seven million dollars going to be 319 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: split across sixty different swimmers, different races. 320 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: Wonder IFU Leah Thomas is going to be there? Wow? 321 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, do they limit it to like dudes, women 322 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: in the women's sports or can you just throw on 323 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: a little makeup and claim you're a woman like I 324 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: don't know, California Tracking. What remains to be seen, it 325 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: says here in this serious analysis of it is whether 326 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: athletes the Enhanced Games will actually break records. 327 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: The Olympics have the best talent pool for these sports. 328 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: On Earth, and though there are former medalists competing in 329 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: the Enhanced Games, they're no longer, you know, at their 330 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: highest competitor level, or they obviously would be competing at 331 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: that level. So it's possible that even roided up best 332 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: runners out there that are willing to take all this 333 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: stuff can't run as fast as the naturally fastest. 334 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: Twenty year old Argentinian or whoever. 335 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: Currently is the world's fastest man. Right right, I guess you. 336 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: Sam Bolt still has the record for the one hundred 337 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: meter dash. Can somebody beat his record? Being all rooted up? 338 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: I'll bet not so. 339 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: Fat guy who's he spends most of his time on 340 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: his couch gets all jabbed up with various hormones and 341 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: steroids and stimulants, and all runs on eight one hundred 342 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: yard dash. 343 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, great, that sounds entertaining. That'd be awesome. I think 344 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna be fantastic. 345 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: Speaking of odd behavior and enhancement to the newest craze 346 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: for plastic surgery in Asia will make you laugh. 347 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: Man, beauty standards are odd. Coming up? 348 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: The fiery mayoral debate in Los Angeles, Oh the highlights 349 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: or a great. 350 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: Say with us Armstrong and Getty. 351 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: So the question is do we play clips from the 352 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: LA mayoral debate or the governor's debate last night? You're 353 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: saying there wasn't a governor's debate last night and I'm saying. 354 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 2: Yes there was. 355 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: There was a California governor gubernatorial debate last night that 356 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: got zero attention. Nobody even hardly knows what happened. They 357 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: had debates two nights in a row. Did you know that? 358 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: No, you didn't. It's weird. It seems like a lot. 359 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: Is it weird though, that the number of biggest state 360 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: in the country and everything like that, they had a 361 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: gubernatorial debate. 362 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: You didn't even know what happened last time. But I 363 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: do want to throw this in all the Democrats doing 364 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: the whole raise your hand. 365 00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: If bulls that they should ban from debates, raise your hand, 366 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: And if you're committed to finishing the bullet train, and 367 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: all the Democrats raised their head. If their governor they 368 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: will commit to finishing the high speed rail project. Wow, 369 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty three hundred, five hundred billion, whatever 370 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: it takes. There was a very jazzy mayoral debate in 371 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles last night, getting a lot of attention for 372 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: a handful of reasons. 373 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: As we were chatting about earlier. 374 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: Number one, I think la Is probably fascinates people around 375 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: the world as much as any city on Earth. The 376 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: entertainment industry, the glamor, et cetera. Plus you had the wildfire, 377 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: which was absolutely horrible and the response to it has 378 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: been utterly incompetent. 379 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 2: And we're going to accent that later on. 380 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: But the other big topic, which any cal Unicornian would say, yeah, 381 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: of course, was crime and drugs in safety on the street, 382 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: and it's it's terrible in LA. You know, San Francisco 383 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: has probably gotten more attention than it deserves compared to 384 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: LA's bumps and junkies situation. And at the La Times 385 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: pointed out yesterday two different cities going two different directions, 386 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: the two biggest cities in California, LA and San Francisco. 387 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco is completely different than it was a couple 388 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: of years ago because of a new mayor and new policies. Right, So, 389 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: just to kind of lay the groundwork for the debate, 390 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: this was an enormous story yesterday in the world of drugs, 391 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: but in La. Matt Finn of Fox News. 392 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 6: MacArthur Park is supposed to be a family park, but 393 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 6: it's known for brazen drug use and two gangs fight 394 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 6: for control of it. MS thirteen and their rival eighteenth 395 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 6: Street Game. I went to the historic park yesterday just 396 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 6: hours before the federal raid, I saw people getting high, 397 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 6: and all around were people apparently doing what's called the 398 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 6: fentanyl fold, when people's bodies fold in half while on fentanyl. 399 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 6: I also saw a young man hit the ground go unconscious. 400 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 6: He was revived by LA homeless workers who told them 401 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 6: me overdosed, and they left him with boxes of narcan. 402 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: Wow, we could certainly pause and reflect on the state 403 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: of parks in California. 404 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: The fentanyl fold. There's more now. 405 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 6: Shortly after that, three hundred federal and local agents stormed 406 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 6: the area. 407 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: They cleared the park. 408 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 6: They cut locks on storefronts where drug dealers allegedly stashed product, 409 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 6: six businesses in total. The DEA tells me they did 410 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 6: a two month undercover investigation and determine the Sineloa cartel 411 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 6: brings fentanyl and meth. 412 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: Into Los Angeles and. 413 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 6: It's sold and distributed from the park. Twenty five people 414 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 6: are federally charged, including a female ringleader and her boyfriend 415 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 6: associated with the eighteenth Street Gang. 416 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: Final clip. 417 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 6: Now, in one stash house alone, forty pounds a fentanyl 418 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 6: was recovered, street value eight to ten million dollars, the 419 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 6: equivalent of one hundred and ninety thousand potentially fatal doses. 420 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: Some reason, I can't stop thinking about the homeless workers 421 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: there in the park because I have a relative who 422 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: was doing that sort of thing. And you're on the 423 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: side of Jesus. I mean, that's the sort of thing 424 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: Jesus would have done. But God, that's got to feel 425 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: like a you're not getting anywhere. The drug addict who 426 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: likes doing drugs and will tell you openly they don't 427 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: want to stop, died again, so you run over and 428 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: revived them, and then they go back to doing drugs 429 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: under the watchful eye of the Sinaloa cartel operating freely 430 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Yeah, those of you who live in 431 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: normal parts of the country are probably shocked and horrified 432 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: by all of this, as you should be. So there 433 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: was under that, Paul. They conducted a mayoral debate last night. 434 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, let's start with the upstart candidate, Spencer 435 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: Pratt and. 436 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: Some of the things he said, what's your plan? Thank 437 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: you sir? 438 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 7: Well, first off, I was just talking to my friend Rachel, 439 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 7: who works in downtown LA Downtown is so unsafe now 440 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 7: that they. 441 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: Have to serve the food. 442 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 7: All the employees have to eat inside. They can't risk 443 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 7: going out. That's why all these beautiful restaurants are closing 444 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 7: because it's so unsafe. So before we require city workers 445 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 7: to go back into Eddie Billy's, we need to enforce 446 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 7: the laws on the street. Calcio Raman is talking about safety. 447 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 7: Yet when animal rescue activists Rebecca Corey came in and 448 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 7: said the dogs are being torturing abuse on the streets 449 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 7: of Down, she walked out of the hearing. 450 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: She doesn't care about safety. 451 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 7: She doesn't care about anything she's talking about. At least 452 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 7: bay Or Bass pretends to care. 453 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: We've got to sell Spencer, Pratt and Armstrong and Getty 454 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: enforce the law T shirt. I was just thinking, I 455 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: wish I could get into his ear. The La Times 456 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to put a fine point on why San 457 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: Francisco has completely revitalized itself while La is a toilet. 458 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: That it's policy. 459 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: The La Times article yesterday talked all about because Silicon 460 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: Valley and AI has blah blah blah. No you the 461 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: people got so sick of it. They elected a mayor 462 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: that swore he was going to do something about it. 463 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you because I've seen it with my 464 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: own eyes, It went from you couldn't walk through Union Square. 465 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: There was a temporary police headquarters set up next to 466 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: the park there because everything was so bad to where 467 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: the last couple of times I've been there, I haven't 468 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: seen a single homeless person, not one. That was all 469 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: because of a change of mayors and a change of policy. 470 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: And you could do that in Los Angeles too, Junkies, 471 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: straight people, right, Yeah, legendary stores that were there since 472 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: your dad was in the Merchant Marine are closed now. 473 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: It was terrible, but they've bounced back to some extent. 474 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: The only contradiction I would offer is that the Silicon 475 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: Valley AI thing matters because in all of these cities 476 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: and all the blue cities and Portland. I've got a 477 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: report on Portland that'll make you weep for that once 478 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: great city. The poor people and the middle class people 479 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: are screaming, please clean up the streets and force the law, 480 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: but the progressives ignore them. In San Francisco, you've got 481 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: the super duper heavyweights of tech who are saying you 482 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: gotta clean up the streets. 483 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: So they're being heard anyway. Spencer Pritt went on. 484 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 7: First off, inside Safe. I like to say inside and 485 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 7: safe makes all of us outside unsafe. The reality is, 486 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 7: no matter how many beds you give these people, they 487 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 7: are on super math, they are on fentanyl. The DEA 488 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 7: Statistics says ninety three percent of this is a drug 489 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 7: addiction problem. Nitya counselwoman Robin's plan for treatment. First, I 490 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 7: will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and 491 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 7: we can find some of these people. She's gonna offer 492 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 7: treatment for She's gonna get stabbed in the neck. These 493 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 7: people do not want a bed, They want fenanyl or 494 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 7: super meth. These ideas cost US over four hundred million 495 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 7: dollars to house for sixty seventy What do you say, 496 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 7: three thousand people for four hundred million is absolute failure 497 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 7: for both of them. 498 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: They're a team. 499 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: I wish he and I wish he and others would 500 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: just state it more clearly. It's not a housing problem. 501 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: It's a drug problem. It's not a housing problem, it's 502 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: a drug problem. To spend your whole three minutes saying that, right, 503 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean that ninety three percent is drug addiction is 504 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: a great statistic. But he, you know, I get it. 505 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: He was excited, he went super fast. But yeah, that 506 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: needs to be repeated over and over and over again 507 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: for reasons we've discussed. You have three separate problems. You 508 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: have an enormous drug problem, a significant mental illness problem, 509 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: and a very small housing problem. And yet the activists 510 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: who profit from this, remember those hundreds of millions of 511 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: dollars in LA or tens of billions of dollars in California. 512 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: Somebody's getting that money. Mm. 513 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: They like to pretend that it's just a housing problem 514 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: because the money keeps flowing. Next clip, this is the 515 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: a council woman ramen Nie Raman, who Spencer was referring to, 516 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: responding to what he just said. 517 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: You have thirty seconds to respond. 518 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 7: And then Cone has a question that that coincides with 519 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 7: all of this. 520 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: Please great, I mean, I don't. 521 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 8: I'm not sure how to respond to that vision of 522 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 8: Los Angeles. This is a maga Republicans idea of what 523 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 8: Los Angeles looks like. This is this is really not 524 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 8: this is really not h the city that that I 525 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 8: love so much. 526 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: That was the answer. 527 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: The question is what does it sound like when somebody 528 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: has no argument on their side, but it works, ym 529 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: and ya ha and you column it works the Republican Yeah, 530 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: well yeah, in places that government in blue states and 531 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: blue cities, it works. Yeah, but the Republican is a 532 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: Trump adjacent you know. It's just it's like voting for Trump, 533 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: voting for that guy. So yeah, well, if you fall 534 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: for that, you get the government you deserve. 535 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: One more clip. 536 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 9: This is a yes or no question and answer. So 537 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 9: there's an LA council member. He wants voters to decide. 538 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 9: He is saying that non states his should they be 539 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 9: allowed to vote in local elections. 540 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 2: Is this yes or no? Mister Prett, No, it depends. 541 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: It's not a yes or no depends on what. 542 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 10: Well, first of all, when you say non citizens, it 543 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 10: doesn't mean they're here illegal. It doesn't mean they're undocumented. 544 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 10: They could have green cards, they could be here perfectly illegal. 545 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 10: And there's a lot of states and cities that do 546 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 10: that on very very local elections. We have to see 547 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 10: what the councilman is proposed to coomen. 548 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, i'd say again, it does depend. In other places 549 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 8: school boards had non citizens. 550 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's you know, that's a pretty good illustration 551 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: of how it goes with conservatives and progressives. He followed 552 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: the rules, even though we're not big fans. He asked, no, questions, 553 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: although this one I think is reasonable. He followed the rules. 554 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: They filibustered, and uh, there's no sanction for it. Also 555 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: thought during one of those answers, it's it's amazing the 556 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: leap and talent. Apparently it's necessary to go from mayor 557 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: even of Los Angeles, you know, the biggest mayor jobs 558 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: in the world, and you're still single a ball for 559 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: debates compared to like presidential candidates. 560 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: It's interesting. I like the line about getting stabbed in 561 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: the neck. It was great. 562 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: They don't want housing and they want super meth. All right, 563 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: here's what you want.

Evidently, the elf ear 679 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: movement swept through all of those countries in recent years, 680 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: but has really stayed on in South Korea. The country 681 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: is home to the Beauty Belt, a sole neighborhood that 682 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: has more plastic surgery clinics than La Miami and Rio 683 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: di Jianio combined. 684 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 2: I feel like Western society. 685 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: Advanced Western society used to look at those African tribes 686 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: like that put the plates in their lips to make 687 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: their lips all big and flappy, or if you put 688 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: the rings around your neck to stretch your neck out 689 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: as like really backwards and simple, and how ridiculous is that. 690 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: But we're doing the same thing, just in a different way. Yeah, 691 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: it's just as ridiculous to do whatever Jeff Bezos's wife 692 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: is doing. And here's a glimpse of the modern world. 693 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: Elfear's first emerged about five years ago when an influencer 694 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: in China posted about undergoing to have more prominent pointy ears. 695 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: The hashtag elf ear Cosmetic surgery now has more than 696 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighty million views on China's Wybo. That's 697 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: just China, which is midtally a giant country. But as 698 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: the trend took hold, less invasive options began to rise 699 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: for the elf ear curious. Besides filler injections, there's also 700 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 1: tape designed to create a similar effect when wedged behind 701 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: the ears. Still, the look didn't fully latch on in 702 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: South Korea until last year, when a K pop singer 703 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: named Mimi, part of the Oh My Girl group confessed 704 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: to using elf ear tape. Thousands of ear tape products proliferated. 705 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: Online queries for ear filler exploded by twelve hundred percent 706 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: on Barbie Talk, an information platform for cosmetic influencers and 707 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: cosmetic procedures. 708 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 2: I don't think I could date. 709 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: A chick with elf fears. You're gonna have to throw 710 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: on a beanie. I just can't look at those. Um 711 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: elfin haircut is kind of cute, but I don't know 712 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: if I need the ears. 713 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 2: Twenty years really needs to have some children. 714 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, tear start and weirder. Too much time on 715 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 1: your hands, Warner an pretty big story. We haven't touched 716 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: on it much. 717 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 2: Where are we on that whole thing? 718 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: The Sea Spody, who's winning this whole deal, by the way, 719 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: is probably worth taking a look at briefly, among other things. 720 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: On the way, if you miss a segment, you can 721 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. 722 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: Subscribe and then you'll get it every single day. 723 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 7: More on the Way, Armstrong and Getty
