Luckily the tariffs are canceled, so my 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: popsicle stick. But then the tariffs are back on again 10 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: as of yesterday. So it's a small business owner like myself. 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: It's very difficult to plan ahead well. 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: And I paid ninety eight dollars for one of your 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: popsicle stick log cabins when the normal price had been 14 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: eighty five dollars. 15 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: So do I get that money?

I'm doing pretty well well. Again, they're absolutely exquisite. 18 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: That's the good news. The bad news is California's crumbling 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: upstood Michael not get the memo? Oh maybe we didn't 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: tell the guy who runs the music I got it. 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: This feature I guess frozen up again. No, no, we 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: didn't tell the band. We forgot to talk. Boudy was 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: in the room when we were talking. Be in the 24 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: room when we're talking. Michael, that's your job. Hell yeah, 25 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: here we go. 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: Listen. 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: We've got some really exciting audio about the Green New Deal, 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 3: which is alive and well in California, and how that 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: will affect normal people if you let this crap go 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: too far. 31 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: But let me throw this in. 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: Just as an appetizer, just just to wet the palette. 33 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: Who is Zara Billu? Zara Billou is an executive for 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: a director of care in San Francisco, the Council on 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: American Islamic Relations, which has been tied to many extremist 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: groups that financed terrorism and their Islamic supremacists. And they're 37 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 3: not to be trusted and I don't like them a bit, 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: and I will stand by those statements. Zara Blue said 39 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis was God's wrath for his handling 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: of the Israel Hamas war, and added that she's praying 41 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: Biden's cancer will be as aggressive as Israel's military actions 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: against Hamas. She also said she prays that his final 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: dayser are painful, and that Trump is next. Here's the punchline. 44 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Miss Blue serves on California's Civil Rights board. That's right 45 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: because she believes its civil rights. So if you had 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: somebody make that sort of claim that was in any 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: way associated with the right or Republicans, that would be 48 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: a nationwide story. 49 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: Correct. 50 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, And the god's wrath and aggressive stuff is something 51 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: she said. I accidentally assigned the hope his final days 52 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: are painful. 53 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: That was somebody else who said that. 54 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: The head of the NRA or I mean, you come 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: up with lots of examples, had said something like that. 56 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: It would be a national story. 57 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it is right up there with North Korea 58 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: being on the you know, the Human Rights Council of 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: the United Nations. It's practically hilarious. We're not so obsceen. Meanwhile, 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: the fabulous Ashley Zavala, who works for probably the leading 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: news station in the Sacramento, California area, the state's capital, 62 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: did a really interesting and compelling report recently. You got 63 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: thirty one up there, Michael, don't make me yell. 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: At you again. 65 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: We have alla, We have a crisis on our hand 66 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: that may have been self created by the actions that 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 4: perhaps have been taken by the state by regulators. 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 5: Will Democratic assemblyment David Alvarez and others frustrated after they 69 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 5: were swayed to approve some of the latest regulations put 70 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 5: on the oil and gas industry. 71 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 4: I think I also heard you say that another closure 72 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 4: can lead to a significant increase in cost to consumers 73 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: on the price of gas. 74 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Gunda Toad lawmakers, California will likely need to 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: have oil imported from other parts of the world by 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 5: ships some boys. 77 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 6: So we really have only one choice there today, which 78 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 6: is increasing imports based on a work right now that 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 6: will be very tight for the North. 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 7: Increase in imports, which means that you have more vessels. 81 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 7: Who in what I've heard also, if you increase the 82 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 7: vessels that that means more emissions because we don't control 83 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 7: those vessels and emissions in which they bring. 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: Is that correct? 85 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 5: But you are correct that additional marine traffic would implicate 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: air quality issues beyond state waters that we do not regulate. 87 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: So just in case you didn't follow this, that's Democrats saying, uh, 88 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: let me get this straight. Gavin Newsom and our supermajority 89 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: have overtaxed and overregulated oil companies out of the state, 90 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: and so now we have to import oil on a 91 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: ship that will do more environmental damage than if we 92 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: had left the oil companies here in California, and the 93 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: price of gas is going to go up a ton. 94 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: And frequently we'll import that oil or gas from countries 95 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: that don't give a crap about the environment and create 96 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: way more environmental. 97 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 2: Chaos than the old sources. 98 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: That's right, all so we can act like where we 99 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: care about the environment. So we again we made gas 100 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: more expensive and the environment worse. Just to want to 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: make sure I understand that. That's Democrats saying that. 102 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the environmental left, the far left would say 103 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: that's a win. 104 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: We want to drive you out of your company. 105 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: That's what you got to remember, and that's why we 106 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: always pointed out there is a big chunk of that crowd. 107 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: They want gas to go to ten dollars a gallon, 108 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: so that you have to ride a bike or carpool 109 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: or buy an electric car finally, or in any of 110 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: those other things as long as you don't drive a 111 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: gas park car. So they say that is good news. 112 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: The normal Democrats don't want gas prices to be high. 113 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: Because they know that's bad for everybody in the state. 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: Right, and the environmental extremists also, in a style similar 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: to Hamas loving having some good footage of a dead 116 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: Palestinian child or whatever, the environmental left loves hearing oil 117 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: and burning gas in California is an environmental disaster. So 118 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: they're probably more than happy to engage in this hypocrisy 119 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: because it makes the problem works quote unquote, the point 120 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: being California's crumbling metal guy. 121 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: Would you agree? I think you would, Yes, you would. 122 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: Three four. 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: Moving along the pods company out with the list of 124 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: twenty cities with the highest number of move outs.

It's 127 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: where realism goes to die. You can constantly demand stricter 128 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: gun laws, but then if somebody uses a gun in 129 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: a crime, you let them loose, saying you know they're 130 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: the victim here of white supremacy or something. Or you 131 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: destroy the environment to save the environment.

So the total population grew slightly last year, 147 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: but it was almost entirely immigration. 148 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: That doesn't count.

When it is treated 243 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: as a drug addiction problem as opposed to a housing problem, 244 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: that's when it gets solved. 245 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: And two the other thing. For the hundredth of time, 246 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: we got to say. 247 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: Tens of hundreds of million, hundred billions of dollars have 248 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: been spent on this. That money goes somewhere, somebody gets 249 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: that money. Lots and lots of people make their living 250 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: off the homeless industrial complex. Absolutely true, So solving scam 251 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: would ruin their jobs. 252 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: Okay, a lot more on the way. Stay here. 253 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: We've decided to put Michelangela in charge of setting up 254 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: this clip because we're mystified and confused as to what 255 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: it is. 256 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 8: Okay, Nate Bergatzi was talking about what it would be 257 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 8: like to fight an orangutu, but before the internet, before 258 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 8: the Internet. 259 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: Yes, I love pretty much everything Nate Bargatzi does, so 260 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: I imagine I will like this, Yeah, of what significance 261 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: is the development of the Internet in the field of 262 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: fighting giant apes? 263 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: Well, he kind of explained that, oh he does. Oh yeah, good, Well, all. 264 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 9: Right, you could fight an orangutan out of figure. They 265 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 9: would have an orangutan just sitting in a boxing ring 266 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 9: and guys would pay to fight it. And I say guys, 267 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 9: because I just can't imagine one woman ever fought this orangutan. 268 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: I think you could put an orangutang. 269 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 9: In a room with a thousand women and when they 270 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 9: walked out, like, did anybody fight it? They could never 271 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 9: cross their mind to fight it. But three men in 272 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 9: that room. Two of those men will fight that orangutan. 273 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 9: The other one would have started it going I think 274 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 9: y'all should fight that ring. 275 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: So guys get in there and the ring. 276 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 9: In tank would just knock everybody out. Because we don't 277 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 9: have the Internet to look up how strong's in a 278 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 9: range attack, it's all word of mouth. 279 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: Back there. 280 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 9: You had to meet a guy to just fought in 281 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 9: a rangutank and you're like, but the arms are skinny. 282 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 9: He's like, I know, that's what made me get in 283 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 9: there as well. 284 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: His abilities are awesome. Yeah, he's he's brilliant. His his 285 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: style is brilliant, very Mark twain ish. Yeah, I got somehow. 286 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: I got by watching a lot of his YouTube stuff. 287 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I get his little short clips of all these different specials. 288 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: I watch him a lot. He's freaking brilliant. But that 289 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: whole topic, you know, a couple of weeks ago, is 290 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: just a huge conversation of could. 291 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: One hundred men beat a silver back gorilla? My thirteen 292 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: year old's obsessed with this. 293 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't think I've come home from work one day 294 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: in the last two weeks where he says, here's another reason, Dad, 295 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: why the one hundred men would win. 296 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: Because he's I'm big, I'm on the side of the 297 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: silver back. 298 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: We really have, We've had We've had to boil this 299 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: down because it's an everyday conversation and I'm not exaggerating. Wow, 300 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: he makes the point, and I will grant this that 301 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: you have to assume the men are are motivated to 302 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: fight to the death, because I'm kind of assuming. It's 303 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: like Nate Bargatzi's like you're at a state fair kind 304 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: of for fun thing, where my theory is the first 305 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: ten guys get their arms ripped off, and then the 306 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: other ninety guys say I'm out. But if you did 307 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: present it, it's like to save your babies or something 308 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: like that. I do think one hundred men probably could 309 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: overwhelm a silver back, with some of them willing to 310 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: die for the cause. 311 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 2: And they most certainly would and they would. 312 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, all right, But my son's big point is 313 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: that they expend their energy very quickly. 314 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: Most gorilla fights last like thirty seconds total. Grilla fight, 315 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: gorrilla fight, Armstrong and getty. 316 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: I know Mayor Pete said he wishes he could go back. 317 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: In time and open the schools in twenty twenty. 318 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: Dude, if you could time travel, why not go back 319 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen and give thosein WU handsome gloves. 320 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: That's an excellent point.

Anybody want 345 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: to point that out. 346 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: Well, you're playing the president of Harvard and the cheers 347 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: he gets for saying how great Harvard is. 348 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 4: God. 349 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 3: That makes me mad. That is egregious. And I'm so 350 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 3: glad you pointed that out. Last place in fire dot 351 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: org's survey. 352 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, anyway, that's stunning. Didn't mean to get off 353 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: on that rant. 354 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: It's a good rent worth ranting. Maybe you'll enjoy this. 355 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: So Jake Tapper, you know he's got the book out. 356 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: He also does a show every afternoon on CNN. He 357 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: had his lowest ratings since twenty fifteen, despite the Biden 358 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: book buzz that he's getting. So I'm I got to 359 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: assume there was some hope that with his name being 360 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: everywhere and him being on every show in the world 361 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: and talking about the fact, here's Jake Tapper, host of 362 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: the Jake Tapper The Lead every afternoon, the lowest ratings 363 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: in a decade, and the ratings are hilariously low. The 364 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: Lead with Jake Tapper averaged about a half million total 365 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: viewers April twenty eight through May twenty eight, fifth, shedding 366 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: a quarter of their audience from a year ago. By 367 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: the way, Brett Baar in the same time slot has 368 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: three point three million. MSNBC even has significantly more. When 369 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: you're losing MSNBC, you're in trouble. But that's overall viewers, 370 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: including a whole bunch of old people that the adversiers 371 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: don't care about. In the coveted demo, that is why 372 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: you get hired to be on the radio or television. 373 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: Of twenty five to fifty four, he averaged ninety five 374 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: thousand viewers for a nationwide television program. 375 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: Right, how does he earn his money? 376 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Because I know he gets paid many millions of dollars. Yeah, 377 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: I don't know how DVRs and YouTube TV, you know, 378 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: because I watch almost nothing live. 379 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't know how that works these days. I wonder 380 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: if there's more to it than that. 381 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: But the lead with Jake Tapper wasn't the only CNN 382 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: offering to struggle. The network had its second worst month 383 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: ever in the money demo across both total day and 384 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: prime time during May, second worst month they've ever had 385 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: in the advertising demo. 386 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you seeing, it's dying. Their model of everything they 387 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 3: do is just broken. That they're the sort of people 388 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 3: who are in charge at the very top and throughout 389 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: the organization down to the anchors and anchor ats. They 390 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: all have a particular mindset and it's you know, manifest 391 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: in Jake Tapper thinking that when he and Alex Thompson 392 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 3: unleased this book, they would be hailed as truth tellers 393 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: and revealers of great wisdom, and in fact they're a punchline. 394 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: They are so out of touch not only with you know, 395 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 3: the American people, but there's such an odd breed of duck, 396 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: those Northeastern media elites. They just don't see life the 397 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 3: way most of us see it. And now that there 398 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 3: are alternatives available, people are flocking to the alternatives. 399 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: So one of the headlines today is that there is 400 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: a ceasefire agreement that the US is brokeered. 401 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: Hopefully between Israel Hamas. 402 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: Egypt is on board with the United States and are 403 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: everybody's signed up onto it except for Hamas, who is 404 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: not happy with the possible cease fire deal, which has 405 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: been the case since the whole damn thing started, because 406 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: they don't actually want to give the hostages back for 407 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: one thing. Then you add the other day when Israel 408 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: was dropping off a bunch of food there to the 409 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: starven Palestinians, and a whole bunch of shots rang out, 410 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: and nobody sure still whether it was Hamas shooting or 411 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: Israeli soldiers or other Palestinians or whoever. 412 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: So that's still a mess. Now. 413 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: You might have seen the headlines a week ago where 414 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: various Hamas adjacent news organizations were saying, I forget what 415 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the number was, it was like four thousand babies were 416 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: going to die in the next forty eight hours. It 417 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: was some horrific number. Yeah, did that ever happen or not? 418 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: I assumed that that was. It was being taken as 419 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: fact from a very sketchy organization, but reprinted everywhere. 420 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: Anyway. 421 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: I use all that as a setup to this the 422 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: one American hostage that it was really least fairly recently. 423 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: And he gives all the credit to Trump. He says 424 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: he would not have gotten out if Trump had been 425 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: elected president, which I'm sure Trump appreciated that. He was 426 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: talking about how he was fed. He said, I remember 427 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: walking by a room in the tunnel seeing a big 428 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: amount of feud, huge food, huge amounts of food. I 429 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: was being starved, There's no questions about it. For the 430 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: majority of his five hundred and five days in captivity. Man, 431 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: that's a long time when you got to think at 432 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: any time they might come a rape you to death, 433 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: cut your head off, whatever. Five hundred and five days 434 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: he survived on one biscuit and salty water. That's all 435 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: he had every day, salty water and one biscuit. He 436 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: lost over fifty pounds. They were starving a week in him, 437 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: so he couldn't yeah escape or die. Yeah, yep, Hey, 438 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: getting back a little bit to something you said about 439 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: the so called peace process and the peace deal that 440 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: I think you expressed hope it will go nowhere. 441 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: It's a red herring. 442 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 3: There is no chance that will result in anything significant. 443 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 3: Steve Whitkoff is wasting his time. Hamas is negotiating circles 444 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: around him, and none of the parties are interested. This 445 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 3: is all silly for domestic consumption. 446 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: We wait couple of headlines for God, We've got two 447 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: of those going on right, Russia and Ukraine and Israel 448 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: Hamass articular don't actually exist. 449 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're both. They're all shrades. 450 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 3: They're they're puppet shows to amuse the domestic population in 451 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 3: the US, I think, or something Trump wants to be 452 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: seen as trying. 453 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, and I don't find puppet shows that musing. 454 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 3: Not since I was like four, had a couple of 455 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 3: headlines for you with Israeli in Tel Lebanon is dismantling 456 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: Hesbola in the South. The progress is helping keep a 457 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: fragile ceasefire intact. The question is how far will it go? 458 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 3: If you're not familiar with the situation. Lebanon, Hezbola is 459 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: a major political party with an army in Beirut. 460 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 2: In Lebanon, i should say, and it. 461 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 3: Has coexisted extremely uneasily with the Lebanese government. 462 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: And now thanks to. 463 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: Israel's help those nasty, nasty Zionist Jews, the Lebanese government 464 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: is getting close to having a monopoly on heavy arms, 465 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: being having the only army in their own country. Lebanon 466 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: could become a peaceful, prosperous country with Israel's help. And 467 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: they are squarely, if quietly, in the camp of helping 468 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: Israel because they know who's a. 469 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: Force for good. 470 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 3: Israel is the Islamists in their region, for the lives 471 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 3: of their people. 472 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: Lebanon, which was once one of the great fun countries 473 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: in the world. And one of my cancer doctors was 474 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: from Lebanon. He had he had left there, his parents 475 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: were still there, and he talked about how great it 476 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: was many many years ago a route the Paris of 477 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: the Levanter. 478 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: I can't remain with him, could be again soon. 479 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's another headline, just to give you a little perspective. 480 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: This is dateline tel Aviv. 481 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Netnah Who's Gaza war plan shows lack of serious intent 482 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: to defeat Hamas says coalition lawmakers understand as we're hearing 483 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: the American media and Locksteps saying we've got to have 484 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: a peace plant, We've got to have a ceasefire. 485 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 2: Israel's got to stop. 486 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in Israel, seven lawmakers from Netanyah, who's ruling coalition, 487 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 3: say the war plan does not reflect a serious intent 488 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: to defeat Hamas and achieve victory. You're not serious enough 489 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: about defeating Hamas yet, they're telling Net and Yahoo.

It's their country, 495 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 3: so understand. Over in Israel, there are plenty of people 496 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: saying we're not being tough enough on Hamas. And finally, 497 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 3: this headline new US plan to pause Gaza war draws 498 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: Hamas criticism. This is what Jack was talking about. Hamas 499 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: is rejecting this cease fire which Israel has agreed to, 500 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 3: because Hamas says it doesn't end the war, to which 501 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 3: Israel says, no, we're not going to end the war 502 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: until you're completely defeated. There is no peace process. This 503 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: is a joke. Can we stop?

It 637 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: seems like, because they're always so visually striking, that I 638 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: might like to see this in the theater. 639 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 640 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't see myself going to a movie by myself 641 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: and sitting there. 642 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 3: So I think I've come up with a perfect metaphor 643 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 3: for AI. 644 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: I don't want to rush through it though.
