Instead of rolling back prices, America's biggest 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.760 retailer just announced they're raising them and they're blaming Trump's tariffs. 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.040 How many more stories are going to have to follow 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:35.120 Walmart's lead? 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.199 Yeah, that story broke while we're on there yesterday. I 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:39.760 should have mentioned it. I just wasn't in the. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.440 Mood, but probably should have been a big deal. Walmart 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.720 saying they're going to raise prices because of tariffs. For 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.040 one thing, they're the biggest retailer in the world. Like 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.960 Jake said, there, lion, Lion, Jake Tapper. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.040 And I was just gonna say, the list of voices 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.920 I can hear on our show that don't immediately sound 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.160 me to what they're saying is shrinking. David Muir of 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.840 ABC News, Please, I know if I need to know 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.520 what time of day it wasn't he had a watch. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.280 I wouldn't ask him because I don't want to hear 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.880 his stinking voice. And Jake Tapper, I'm sorry he says, sorry, Jake, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.880 the great Sherlock Holmes style of solver of mysteries who 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.800 figured out that Biden was senile? 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.280 Please more on that a. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:22.920 Little bit later. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.160 I'll tell you what it is personal between Mark Alprin, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360 who's got a new TV show that's on YouTube every night. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.120 It's on YouTube and somewhere else. It's really good. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.280 I mean it looks like a TV show. He's sitting 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.119 there in a suit and tie with a TV storater background. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:37.480 Has guests. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.600 But man, he is killing Jake Tapper and then with 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.440 receipts every single night. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.200 Maybe I'll get into that while we're on it. Why 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.800 the hell not? Why not? Uh? 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.120 So, Tapper has got this book coming out next week 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.280 right where he's gonna try to be the hero of 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.480 the story and bring you all these behind the scenes 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.600 details of what was going on with the cover up, 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:03.920 and practically everybody's well not true. I was gonna say 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.200 everybody's reaction, but no. The New York Times and The 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.919 Washington Post and CNN's own media person have reviewed the 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.760 book like, oh my god, Jake Tapper has uncovered some 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.480 secrets that are oh wait till you hear this. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.800 Okay, why don't we just say everyone who's not guilty 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.280 of precisely the same crimes as Jake Tapper have reacted 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.760 this way to jack Jake Tapper's book. 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.160 Right, And. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.000 So Jake Tapper, as we mentioned yesterday, I hired some 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.400 pr firm when it became fairly obvious that some people 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.160 are like, oh, give me a break. You can't set 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.760 the fire, put out the fire, and then take credit 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.880 for taking you know, putting out the fire and act 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:46.320 like you didn't. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.239 I mean, we're just putting up with this. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.880 And so Mark Hauprin, whose main thing is as a 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.640 news guy, I think he's got two things. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.000 Going for him. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.480 One, he got driven out of the industry when he 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.919 got me tooed around what two thousand in twenty twenty one, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.800 somewhere in there. And I think a lot of people 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.440 he's like, you didn't come to my defense, screw you. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.359 So I don't think he cares if he hurts any 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.640 feelings here with Colin out. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.640 We're one of the first shows to have him back on. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.480 By the way, you know, I'm not sensing a lot 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.360 of gratitude, but anyway. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.640 And the other end of it is he really is 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.040 concerned about the state of media, and if people don't 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.600 believe the media, we can't hold any presidents accountable. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.559 He said, you can't hold Trump accountable because he lost. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:39.480 All of your credibility with Biden, and you know, vice versa. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.880 So just the media can't do its job and we're 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.880 doomed if the media can't hold either party accountable, which 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.240 is obviously a problem. He regularly calls this, and he's 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:56.760 absolutely correct, the biggest media failure in US history. It 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:03.320 absolutely is. What would compare to pretending that the president 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.360 is fine for all those years? 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:08.480 Anyway? So I think we did. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.400 First of all, I can't just look at the list quickly, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.200 handsome that clip I sent you. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.760 To get Okay, here it is here, it is. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.360 I want you to play forty and let me set 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:27.080 this up real quick. So back toward this was before 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:32.440 the election. Wall Street Journal does a not even really 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.920 strong piece about how Biden's brain doesn't work anymore, and 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.960 it made such waves in. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.240 The world of media. The Wall Street Journal. 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.080 Says the president isn't fit mental that he'd be to 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.680 be in office, and he certainly to be president for 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.599 another four years. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.960 I remember presenting it to the good folks on our 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.800 show where we decided, yeah, this is good solid, a 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.720 good solid accounting of that which all of us can 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:58.839 see with our own eyes. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.400 But man, somebody serious pushback. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.719 That's when Joe Scarborough on MSNBC went nuts and said, hey, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.720 look at the camera a few if you don't believe 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.080 this is the best version of Joe Biden. I mean 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:18.480 people pushed back hard, including Jake Tapper, who had on 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:24.720 various guests to counter the Wall Street Journal narrative and 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.279 let them say their piece completely unchallenged on his showback 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.080 at the time yesterday, he has the gall in trying 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.680 to rewrite history to have these Wall Street Journal reporters 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.320 on and called them heroes. 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.880 Here it is clip forty. They're with me now. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.400 Two of the heroic reporters were covering this intensely during 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.840 the Biden years. Any Lensky and Shavon Hughes. There they 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.799 are with the Wall Street Journal. They reported in decline 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.120 of Biden's mental acuity back in June of last year. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.039 The piece then quotes behind closed doors, Biden show signs 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.800 of slipping participants in meetings. The eighty one year old 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.960 president performed poorly at times. The White House said Biden 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.680 is sharp and his critics are playing partisan politics unquote. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:08.720 This is not the first time you guys have been on. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.600 I said it last year before the election, and I'll 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.640 say it again. The journalism you did was vital and 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.479 the smear campaign by Democrats against you two is disgraceful. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:24.560 Which you participated in the smear campaign by Democrats against 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.919 the Wall Street Journal reporters at the time, he helped 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.760 along and again getting to the whole Mark Alprin thing 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.279 his TV show last night. 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.960 I mean, he's been dedicating so much time to this. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.320 He had a segment where the next day or the 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.800 day of the Wall Street Journal piece, Tapper had on 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:47.400 Kons Senator Kuons, Big Biden advocate and surrogate and on 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.880 there and just tore into the Wall Street Journal and says, 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.359 where's the Wall Street Journal criticizing Trump for what he 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.359 gets a name wrong? And Tapper let him say his 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.000 giant piece, no pushback whatsoever. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.080 So he participated and. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.320 The Democrats tear down the Wall Street Journal, then has 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.840 the balls to have them on yesterday and call them heroes. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.520 I mean, that is another level. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.480 And to make the point repeatedly in his introduction that 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.920 I've been on this story the whole time. I'd said 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.520 this last to eight year. I'm saying it now, along 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.320 with that other stuff I said all through the Biden 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.240 years that I'm sure everybody remembers. Jake Tapper cannot hear 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:30.240 the Cosmos screaming at him, saying, Jake, you can't defend you. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.480 This is not working. You're just reminding people of what 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.600 a liar you are. You cannot be your main advocate 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.400 because you got no credibility. 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.480 Chum. I don't know if it's gonna matter, because it's 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.080 people in the usual circles. If you read the Washington 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.680 Post in the New York Times, you're they're taking in. 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.080 This book like, oh my god, did you hear? 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.920 And and Fox and everybody leaning right who already knew 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:58.800 Joe Biden. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.040 Was in the situation he is. Know are laughing at 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:01.480 this book. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.080 But he must, he must be worried to do what 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.280 he did yesterday. This was yesterday he had the Wall 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.200 Street Journal reporters on and called them heroes. I mean, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.040 how do you sit there and do that. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.120 It's pathetic. It's desperation, and it's so clearly desperation. That's 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:20.040 what that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I would be embarrassed. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:25.880 I would be embarrassed to go that far. Yes, Uh, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.680 you know it's funny. I just had the feeling wash 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:29.200 over me. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.040 That. Uh. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:38.439 The utter dishonesty of the mainstream media has been recognized 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.800 by the vast, vast majority of the American people. They're 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.240 less popular or less trusted than any institution but Congress, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.559 which should make you shudder as a fan of the Constitution. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.560 And and they're they're their punishment's already been exacted upon them. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:56.760 They're laughing stocks. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.600 Here's the problem, though, it hurts us. If it if 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.280 it only hurt them, I'd be fine with that. I 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:02.880 don't care. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.880 But it's not. This is Halpern's point. It's bad for 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:07.679 the country. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.480 So you're they've been punished, they've gotten what they deserved, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.000 but with having an eight percent approval rating. But that's 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.320 a terrible place for us to be as a country. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.760 And they're not great, and they're not trying to dig 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.680 themselves out of it, they're making it worse. Well, I'll 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.880 read from Mark Alprin's Today. He ques, I'm not against it, 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.120 I'm having lots of fun. He quotes Politico Today in 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.400 his newsletter this is Politico Today. It was what happened 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.080 in that debate was a shock to me, Jake Sullivan 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.960 told Playbooks Jack Blanchard at Politico's Security summerd on Thursday. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.719 I think it was a shock to everybody. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.880 So Jake Sullivan saying this week that it was a 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.400 shock to everyone around Joe Biden when he showed up, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.040 that they acted that. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.319 Way house ridiculous. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.720 Helpin writes, No one can legitimately say they were shocked 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.000 by what happened in the debate because Biden exhibited all 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.480 the same behaviors in public four years and goes on 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:03.280 to say, oh my god, reporters need to stop asking Democrats, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.480 were you surprised by the debate? Or should Biden have 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.240 run for reelection? Or did you see signs of decline 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.560 in private? The correct question at this point is, given 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.480 Joe Biden's obvious mental decline in public, why didn't you 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:24.960 speak up? That should be the only question every single time, right, right, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.160 And if you're going to talk to reporters, it should 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.880 be But the reporter, given his obvious decline, why weren't 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:31.839 you reporting on that? 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.839 There are only two possible well, yeah, for the politicos 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.400 that one question, reporters another. But the only possible answer 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:46.720 for politicos would be I place my party above my country. Well, 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.520 the second answer might be, look, I go along to 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.079 get along. 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:52.320 That's what politicians do. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.800 Third answer, and if they were going to be honest, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.920 they would say this, Kamala Harris is an effing idiot. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.559 Figured we were better off with old man Biden his 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.840 inner circle than that half wit from California and her 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.640 band of renegade dopes. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.480 The why to that is, and this is what Alpern 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.160 points out all the time, is that they hated Trump 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.640 so much they just didn't want him to win. Whatever 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.880 kept him from winning. Yeah, that's answer for right, yep. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.839 Yeah. And but. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.400 To go so far to bring in those Wall Street 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.280 journal reporters, they should have called him out there on 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.520 the show you're calling a well, I wish one of 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.080 them would have said, you're calling me a hero. You 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.240 had guest after guest on to terrace apart at the time. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.000 Yeah, that's weird, Jake. I was an idiot last year. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:42.800 Now I'm a hero. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:48.040 Huh. That's hero heroic coverage because they were able to 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.960 report what everybody. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.840 Already knew this is. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.760 Well. I keep quoting Mark Cowperny said last night, We're 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.800 through the looking glass. I don't even know what to 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.440 say anymore. Well, right, yeah, yeah, what's your next? 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.120 Your book? Jake Nixon was a little paranoid. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.280 You got a book about Carter, he's a well meaning fellow, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.480 but didn't do it very well. You got any more 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:15.440 crazy revelations nobody saw God? I mean, can he can 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.720 Jake Tapper go any farther than this calling them heroes. Well, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.679 the harder he tries, the more sad and pathetic it is, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.839 which is what I was trying to say about the cosmos. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.240 I mean, Jake, you just gotta let it lie. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.560 Dude, you are the last person who ought to be 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:35.600 saying these things. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:36.440 Yeah. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.640 Do you think he's just completely self unaware? 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:40.640 That's what I wonder. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.679 I have been self delusional about things before, and then 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.960 when it becomes evident to me how wrong I was, 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.400 I'm amazed. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.760 It's like, wow, the. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.199 Human brain can do that, or my human brain did this, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.000 or but he doesn't seem to want to have that. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.199 How interesting would that be if he did, If he'd 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.120 be willing to come on the air and say I 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:12.439 was so against Trump winning and so just very deep 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.280 in the idea of not helping him that I ignored 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:16.600 the obvious. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.800 That would be interesting, It would be more interesting, it 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.920 would be more believable. Right, Yeah, you raised an interesting pointer, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:26.960 Michael did at the end. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:27.160 There. 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.080 You've never had any brain but the one you've had. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.320 You know, all of us obviously can say that. I 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.440 wonder if there are people who are just way, way, 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.559 way more pliable to that sort of group think than 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.880 I can imagine being. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.120 It's got to be true. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.240 Wow, any thoughts text line four one five two nine 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:46.280 five KFTC. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.960 This week, over one two hundred Starbucks employees have gone 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.040 on strike to protest the company's new dress code. It 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.520 was strange all the employees walked out and the line moved. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:00.000 Justice found. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.440 Yeah, Starbucks workers are upset about the dress code. Meanwhile, 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.360 over at Duncan, you're allowed to wear an apron with 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.079 nothing underneath. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.400 That sow you know, that reminds me. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.000 I just saw it was a Twitter thread that AI 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.080 has just gone too far now, And it was an 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.520 AI video of a McDonald a McDonald's run entirely by 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.800 cats and they were doing all the jobs doing the fries, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.880 cooking the burgers, manning the register. And it was utterly convincing. 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.560 I mean not like I was convinced there's a cat. 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.520 McDonalds briefly were concerned that there's a feline entirely feline 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.920 run McDonald somewhere. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.160 What of the fur and my drink? Gross? No, it's 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.880 just it's amazing. It wasn't babies this time. It was 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.680 cats to the Starbucks thing. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.320 Just just this came up because it was a news 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.440 story hit. My kids were listening, and I just threw 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.320 up my usual dad sort of advice. If your boss 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.520 tells you got to wear a black shirt, wear a 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.800 freaking black shirt. I want to wear my rainbow Black 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.520 Lives Matter shirt because I want to bring my whole 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.480 self to work at Starbucks. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:15.760 You make coffee, do your work, and shut up. That's 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.360 been the history of all the history of mankind can 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.000 be summed up with the sentence show up and shut up. 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:28.520 All right, even this job oddly enough. So anyway, now 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.600 I've got a trio of stories about crime. Maybe we 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:36.840 can squeeze in the next hour, including Chinese money launderers, flooding, 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:42.640 particularly southern California, with hundreds of thousands of dollars of 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.200 cartel cash and the challenge that is posing for both 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:53.200 banks and law enforcement authorities. We are, you know, like 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:54.800 Trump made that trip to the Middle East and was 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.400 getting trillions of dollars of investments out of the various 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:02.200 oil sheiks, some good enough, some of evil. The cartels 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.880 look at the US that same way. We are the 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:10.360 trillions of dollars land of gold because we loves their drugs. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.560 Another story I'd like to get to. This is an 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.680 exclusive in the Wall Street Journal today. I am we 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.760 have been downplaying this fear of flying thing for several years. 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.800 I think this is gonna happen. There is going to 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.320 be a mid air collision that kills hundreds and hundreds 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.640 and hundreds of people. Really, I think so at some 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.960 point the air traffic controller averted a mid air collision. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.360 Now he's speaking out interviewing the Wall Street Journal guy 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.360 who walked off the job at Newark after a couple 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.440 of weeks ago when he barely caught a couple of 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:42.680 planes that were going to crash. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:43.040 Into each other. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.720 Yeah, yeah, okay, we can talk about that. I'm not 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.280 afraid to fly, but I think at some point, just 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.400 you know it's gonna happen. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.200 I think it is absolutely righteous that the current Secretary 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.680 of Transportation and the Trump administration are trying to update 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.800 modern eyes make more efficient and safeire air traffic control system. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.800 I think it's a great thing they're doing. Yeah, we need, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.040 absolutely We've got a lot on the way. I hope 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:14.000 you can stick around Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.600 The frightening scene in Silver Spring, Maryland. A toddler has 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.359 survived a fifteen story fall from an apartment building. First 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.600 Responders believe the two year old boy fell from a 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.040 balcony and survived by landing on the bushes below. Authorities 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.480 are now investigating the fall again. The boy is expected 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:30.360 to survive. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.440 This holy crap. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.920 Yeah yeah, I'm reminded of that ride along we did 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.760 with the Charlotte Fire Department. This is probably like in 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.680 nineteen ninety four, thirty. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.040 Plus years ago. Good Lord. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.560 And the guys, we actually responded to a call where 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.159 somebody fell out of a seventh floor window and landed 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.720 in the bushes and sustained the broken arm I think 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:00.720 was the most serious injury. In talking to some of 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.240 the firefighters, they talked about, you know, they've gone to 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.080 cases where somebody tripped walking off a curb, hit their 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:06.800 head and died. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.880 Friend of mine did last year, like sixty years old. Akes. Yikes, 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.960 here your two year old falls off the balcony in 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.080 the fifteenth floor. You have no expectation whatsoever of a 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:19.720 good outcome. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.000 Oh my yeah, I don't know what the takeaway is 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.399 here other than try not to fall off the balconies 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.520 or trip going over curbs. But it's amazing, you know 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:29.800 what the outcomes can be. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.920 Life is completely unpredictable. So be very very afraid. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:40.000 Exactly, yes, yes, don't do anything ever. Live your day amazement, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.600 amazing fear. I mean, just paralyzing fear. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.720 All day every day. Great idea or avengeful God. Maybe 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:48.600 you go for avengeful God. 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.520 All right, all right, So what do we want to 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.720 talk about? Do you want to do the pricest thing? 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.639 Or I've got my crime stories. 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:58.960 I can hit you with this inflation thing real quick. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.520 We meant to talk about this, Joe got so sidetracked 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.920 by his hatred for Jake Tapper we ended up talking 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.199 about him and his book instead of the way but 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:11.280 that Walmart announced yesterday that they're raising prices. They say, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.720 specifically because of the Trump tariffs, which as the biggest 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.920 retailer in the world, that gives a lot of other 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.000 stores cover if they were thinking, God, we need to 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.080 raise prices too, but our people are going to you know, 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:28.280 gives them a little political cover or cultural cover. Anyway, 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.119 I thought this was interesting. On the way this was 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.639 covered two different ways, let me find it for it. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.439 On one hand, the Wall Street General writes this, so 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.080 far Trump's tariffs have had a muted effect on inflation. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.600 Walmart's announcement suggests that a dam is breaking and that 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.520 a flood of higher prices could soon follow. But Axios 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.919 put it this way. With major indicators from April, the 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.240 month of peak tariff uncertainty now in none show the 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.600 kind of a recessionary or inflationary conditions implied by business 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.280 and consumers surveys. So they went with a very positive 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.280 spin on we went through the worst month of it 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:12.919 and things are fine. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.600 So clear skies. 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:16.640 Yeah. 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.560 I don't know how they arrived at that conclusion since 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:23.480 the tariffs hadn't actually hit, I don't think. And the 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.760 ones that are in place are not like crazy high, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.920 but they're higher than they were. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.359 Well, the analysis of these two stories were you're smarter 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.199 than I am. If you have any idea which of 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:33.919 these is correct? 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.240 If like enough damage was done that we are going 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.520 to have inflation, or we pulled out of the nose 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:40.920 dive in time so we're gonna. 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.040 Be okay, I have no idea. Wow, all right. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:48.280 Walmart's CEO r CFO John David Rainey said the speed 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.320 and magnitude at which these prices are coming to us 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.280 is somewhat unprecedented in history. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:54.000 Wow. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.640 Trade War's full impact on consumers as yet to come. 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.320 Any businesses stockpiled goods before the tariff's hit in Some 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.280 businesses have absorbed the initial costs rather than passing them along, 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.280
