Speaker 1: dot com.

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: All right, guys, So Trump really on doing himself over

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: on truth Social hosting a video that starts with a

17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: batchit election conspiracy and ends with a brazenly racist depiction

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: of former President Obama and Michelle Obama.

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and take a look at that.

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: So this is the batchit election conspiracy part of it

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: where I don't know, you know, they're talking about.

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Some new theory that I've never even heard before that.

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: When they stop counting and then those you know, ballots

24
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: flood in blah blah blah. This of course, coming amidst

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: the seizure of ballots down in Fulton County and Trump

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: making all sorts of wild comments, and then here you go,

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: there is Michelle Obama and Barack Obama, you know, in

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: this just undeniably racist depiction. This was apparently part that

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: piece right at the end was part of some lion

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: King video that included you know, this depiction here. So

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: there was actually some reaction from Republicans on this. So

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: for whom it was, you know, even for them, a

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: bridge too far. Initially, the White House puts out a

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: defense of this tweet, let's put this up on the screen,

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: and tries to shift blame.

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: So they say the White House is to leave the

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: apes video.

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: Any person familiar tells me President Trump did not see

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: the video legitimately didn't.

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: A staffer posted it.

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: For what it's worth, only a small handful of staffers

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: have access to his truth social accounts. So that was

43
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: an initial line form the White House, like, oh, Trump

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: didn't it wasn't him, it.

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Was a staffer. They didn't see that part. At the end.

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Trump had no idea about this video, et cetera. And

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: the pressure let's put the C three up on the screen.

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: The pressure came from. There were maybe like roughly ten

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Republicans in the Senate, in the House who expressed some

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: sort of upset about this, perhaps the most notably Senator

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Tim Scott said praying it was fake because it's the

52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: most racist thing I've seen out of this White House.

53
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: The President should remove it. And then we have this

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: New York Times tear sheet that gets into some more

55
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: of the criticism here. You know, you had Thomas Massey

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: actually yesterday when he was doing the Sunday Show rounds,

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: also saying it needed to be deleted, that they needed

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: to apologize to the Obamas over this, et cetera New

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: York Times analysis saying here that you know, sometimes even

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: this president can cross the line. Let's put the next

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: one up on the screen. We've got this defense from

62
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: pastor Mark Burns, who was closely affiliated with President Trump,

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: who is himself black. So he said, I just spoke

64
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: directly with President Trump regarding the offensive Obama ape video

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 2: that circulated online. The President assured me clearly and nonequivocally,

66
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: he did not post it. Okay, So that's the line

67
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: still coming out here. He understands the painful and racist

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: history in America of depicting African Americans as apes, attactic

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 2: long used by white supremacists to demean black intelligence and humanity.

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: He knows this is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable. Present made

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: it clear to me this post was made by a

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: staffer and not by him. My recommendation the President was

73
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: direct and firm. The staffer should be fired immediately. The

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: President should publicly condemn this action. This kind of insensitive

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: and racist communication is not reflect the heart, values or

76
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: leadership of the President of the United States, nor does

77
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: it represent the America we are striving to build. So

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: you can see they're trying to craft this narrative about Oh,

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Trump didn't have anything to do. Is this staffer and

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: it was just at the end and he had no

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: idea blah blah blah, And who jumps in to blow

82
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: up that entire narrative coming from the White House but

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Trump himself.

84
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and take a list of.

85
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: That the number of Republicans they're calling on you to

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: apologize for that post.

87
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: Is that something you're.

88
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: Going to do.

89
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: Oh, I didn't make a mistake. I mean, if I'd

90
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: look at a lot of thousands of things, and I

91
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: looked at the beginning of it, it was fine, and

92
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: they had that one post, and I guess it was

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: a takeoff by the way a lot of people were covered.

94
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: If you look at where it came from, a lot

95
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 5: of I guess it was a takeoff of the Lion King,

96
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: and certainly it was a very strong post in terms

97
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: of voter fraud. Nobody knew that that was in the end.

98
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 5: If they would have looked, they would have seen it,

99
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 5: and probably they would have had the sense to take

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 5: it down. But that was a takeoff of the Lion King,

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: and a lot of people were covered, one different in

102
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 5: different positions. So when I spoke to Tim Scott, he

103
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: was great. Tim is a great guy. He understood that

104
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: one hundred percent.

105
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: So not only is I didn't make a mistake.

106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: I looked at the beginning of it, So this idea

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: was a stab or no, he's saying, No, I looked

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: at it. I watched it. I loved the election fraud part.

109
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: That was great, he says. Then he looked at the

110
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: end and it's just a take off on the Lion King.

111
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: You know, maybe if we had looked a little closely,

112
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: he might not oppose it. But it was just a

113
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: Lake off on the Lion King. I made no mistake here,

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: there's no problem, and Tim Scott is cool with it.

115
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: Here's the words of Trump himself. October twenty second, twenty fifteen.

116
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: The young intern who accidentally did a retweet apologizes that's

117
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: so it's all there. I mean, the only defense is

118
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: that he was actually well posting a what is it

119
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: the crazy election fraud video right, which happened to have

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: this AutoPlay at the end. I do think that this

121
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: is a good view into the current government and actually

122
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: why people have such difficulty trusting literally anything they say

123
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: because the TikTok. One thing we forgot is that Caroline

124
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Levitt actually did defend the original video, because clearly she

125
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: had not gotten to the point where they were going

126
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: to disavow it. Caroline Levitt was like, it was a

127
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: satirical Lion King thing. You guys have no sense of humor.

128
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: And then immediately afterwards, Tim Scott, Roger Wicker and all

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: these other people posts. They're like, oh, this is terrible.

130
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Tim Scott calls a president, and then the leaks came

131
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: out and they're like, well, unequivocally, he didn't see it right,

132
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: And so they're like he didn't see it. The staffer

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: who did it apologize. From what I know, and I

134
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: actually asked, there are only three people who have actual

135
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: nighttime access to the Truth Social It is Trump, Dan Scavino,

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: and then his aid I think her name is Natalie Johnson.

137
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Those are the only three people who have any access

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: to the truth Social account also specifically at night. Is

139
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: it more likely that those two aides Scavino, who I

140
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: think just got married, and then his younger aid is

141
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: the one that's scrolling on truth Social and reposting hundreds

142
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: of things which we happened to see from Trump every

143
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: single night. Yeah, what's the more likely story than all

144
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: of this? I do think it's interesting that he deleted it. Actually,

145
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: if you had asked me at the very beginning, I'd

146
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: be like, no, they're gonna defend this thing to the beginning.

147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: I have no idea that the New York Times piece

148
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: it kind of you know, showed you the whole like

149
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: immune from politics. One thing that I think is beginning

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: to sink in for the White House is that batshit

151
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: behavior like this, because again, the only defense is guys

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: who is just posting an election front video, which I

153
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: do believe. By the way, considering what happened this Epstein

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: affordability now Iran, they clearly are in a very defensive posture.

155
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I think they know things are bad. Oh and Ice,

156
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: I forgot eyes obviously, that was a number of what

157
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: preceded the Epstein story. Two weeks of Ice shootings and

158
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: stories literally across the country where Trump bucked sent Tom

159
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Homan basically surrendered in Minneapolis. And now you've got this

160
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: now currently then you had the Epstein situation. Now you've

161
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: got a bad news cycle again that just continues and

162
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to go away. I have not seen the

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: White House this weekend quite some time. Like this is

164
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: the weakest I have ever seen the White House. I

165
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: would never And by the way, that's why I think

166
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Trump refused to apologize, because his instinct is always never

167
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: to give in. But oh and then blinking on the

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Iran talks. Remember, I mean there's a lot of stuff

169
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: here where I haven't seen them this on the back

170
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: foot like quite a long time.

171
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean also you have the dynamic with

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: Republicans where now we're heading into the midterms. Yes, right,

173
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: there was another actually there was just another election that

174
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: was really bad for them to really you know, massive

175
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: shifts towards Democrats. There was one down in Louisiana as well,

176
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: where the Republicans actually thought they had in this House,

177
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: like state House seat down in Louisiana.

178
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: It's a Trump district.

179
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: Louisiana has some of these places that used to vote

180
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: for Democrats locally and then they vote for Republicans nationally.

181
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: You know, that realignment has obviously completely had they thought

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: that they would be able to pick up this seat,

183
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: and no, it was a Democratic absolutely blowout.

184
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: So they're looking at these things.

185
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: They're looking at what happened in Texas, They're looking at

186
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: the polls. Number of Republicans who are in even somewhat

187
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: vulnerable seats are going like, I don't know about all this,

188
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: and also reckoning with like Trump is not going to

189
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: be around forever. So you have that going on in

190
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: the background here too.

191
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

192
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: There was something like ten to twelve Republicans who said

193
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: something which on the one hand, is pathetic. It's pathetic,

194
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: right given the content of the entire video from the

195
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: election fraud nonsense, and then of course the like brazen

196
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: racist part of the video. On the other hand, how

197
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: many things have we seen, especially with Trump's like post

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,479
Speaker 2: or uncouth comments or whatever, where any number of Republicans

199
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: comes out and says so, you know, that coupled with

200
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: the fact that they at least felt the need to

201
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: do some kind of damage control on it and ultimately

202
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: delete it, is different than what we've seen from this

203
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: from this Trump two point zero in particular.

204
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I think this is the story because

205
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, when's the last time Donald Trump apologized

206
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: or deleted anything? And I think they again, also the

207
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Republicans who spoke Tim Scott, okay, whatever, but let's think

208
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: about something, Roger Wicker. I mean, these are people you

209
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: don't hear of, right, but who are actually very powerful

210
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: in the US Senate. When those people start to throw fits,

211
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Tim Scott, Susan Collins and Lisa Mcowson

212
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: like the typical crew. It was people who are powerful,

213
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: people will have a decent hold in the United States Senate.

214
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that the White

215
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: House is now grappling with is social media. So if

216
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: you were to take a poll right now for the

217
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: same social media vibe kind of stuff that helped Donald

218
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Trump win the election in twenty twenty four, let's check

219
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: back in. I mean, I'm asking everybody who watches this show,

220
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: check your friends' Instagram stories. What's it run in ninety ten?

221
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Whenever comes to liberal versus conservative content, or let's call

222
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: this anti Trump versus pro Trump content. I mean, the

223
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: pro Trump stuff seems dead on arrival to me, especially

224
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: like a cultural vibe base level. This is exactly the

225
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: type of thing which I mean, it was already going

226
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty viral because I mean, the screen grab is like insane, right,

227
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: like of the literal Obama's portrayed as apes. That is

228
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: literally like a post that could just rock it all

229
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: around the world. And I do think that this is

230
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: significant enough of a story in the context of all

231
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: of the back downs that we've seen from Donald Trump

232
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: so far. And I do think part of the problem

233
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: is that there's an entire ecosystem on Twitter. Of course,

234
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: because what happened immediately after the post came out, everybody

235
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: defended it. Everybody was like zoom right, because they assumed

236
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: that they that the.

237
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: Right would do.

238
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And then it's funny because the White House is the

239
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: one which is backing way. But remember, everything works in incentives,

240
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: and the incentive structure right now is to never apologize.

241
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: We'll always defend. And it's you know, when you have

242
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: to deal with national politics and not a bunch of

243
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: people on Twitter who are like posting all the time,

244
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: you're actually in a different universe. I really, I really

245
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: think the right has the same problem the left had

246
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: with Twitter for years. I absolutely one believed that.

247
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: And I saw something recently about like the you know,

248
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: the content liberal versus conservative on a variety of social

249
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: media platforms, and Twitter, of the mainstream ones, not like

250
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: true social but like the mainstream social media platforms, was

251
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: the one that had the most conservative content, and so,

252
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: you know, and that's a place where Soccer and I

253
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time in terms of.

254
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: Preferred news show, et cetera.

255
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: And so you know, even I think we get like

256
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: a distorted view of things because it is much more

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: skewed right than other platforms. And even Twitter is not

258
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: nearly as conservative in all of the posting as it

259
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: was at the peak of you know, of pro Trump sentiment.

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: One more and this will help us transition to the

261
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: super Bowl block. You know, there's this whole thing a

262
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: free out about the Bad Bunny halftime show blah blah blah,

263
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: and Trump posted about it. We'll get to that in

264
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: a moment, but I thought this was interesting. So Jake

265
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: Paul posts this anti Bad Bunny tweet. He says, purposely

266
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: turning off the halftime show. Let's rally together and show

267
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: big corporations they can't just do whatever they want without consequences,

268
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: which equals viewership for them.

269
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: You are their benefit. Realize you have power.

270
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: Turn off this halftime A fake American citizen performing who

271
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: publicly hates America, I cannot support that. And then so

272
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: I saw that last night, and this morning I wake

273
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: up to Jake Paul doing all sorts of like like

274
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: tweeting about.

275
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: Well, you didn't understand what I'm met about fake America,

276
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Like I actually love Puerto Rico blah blah.

277
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: And I know he moved there for tax advantages, by

278
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: the way, which is like, you know, crazy, But I

279
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: saw his own brother come out and be like, ye,

280
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: I love my brother, but.

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: I disagree with him.

282
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: I think Puerto Rico's great, and I think it's awesome

283
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: that they were able to celebrate their heritage.

284
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: So first of all, they don't give a shit about

285
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, So that's kind of course. Yeah, the only

286
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: reason they moved there is could get free crypto capital

287
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: ka it's google it if you don't know what I'm talking.

288
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: Exactly, But I mean the point was to your point

289
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: about like the vibe shift.

290
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, do you think that this Jake.

291
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: Paul tweets in the past that he would have felt

292
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: the need to like in multiple tweets afterally he didn't

293
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: understand when I met you know, when I really meant

294
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: it this way, phrased it poorly, blah blah blah, and

295
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: his brother coming out and being like, I don't I

296
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: don't agree with that at all.

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: Very different cultural.

298
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it now. I think there will be

299
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous backlash year. The UFC fight at the White

300
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: House interests massive. They were right in high they had

301
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: a little paramount deal Dana White obviously you know him,

302
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and Trumper all Freddy's. I think that the U I

303
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: think it will massively backfar. This is just me I'm

304
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: calling it now. Though I can just I can sense

305
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: and I can smell where things are going. I don't

306
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: think it's going to work out well for them. Okay,

307
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: let's get to Calshi. So yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday,

308
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and naturally, in the state of the United States that

309
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: we are in today, some billion or so dollars was

310
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: bet by Americans. Tens of millions decided to place their wagers,

311
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: some of them on prediction market sketually operating potentially illegally.

312
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: More Perfect Union did a good deep dive into it.

313
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.

314
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: Traders on Calshi and polymarket are betting nearly one billion

315
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: dollars on this upcoming Super Bowl. They're betting on who

316
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: will win, will in video run an advertisement, what song

317
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: bad Money will open with, will someone say the phrase

318
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: now here's a guy, Will Timothy Shalomy be there? And

319
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: they're even betting on the coin toss. Oh sorry, not betting.

320
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean they're buying event contracts, they're trading assets. It's

321
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: investing really definitely not gambling. They want you to believe

322
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: that you can make money on these investments. Never mind

323
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: the fact that seventy percent of people lose money and

324
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: most of the profit is taken in by an insanely

325
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: small number of traders zero point zero four percent. Second,

326
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,359
Speaker 4: gambling in the United States is more strictly regulated than investing.

327
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: If this is gambling, they have to deal with state

328
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: gambling commissions, they have to follow those laws and build

329
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: in protections. Since this is apparently investing, they're instead regulated

330
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: at the federal level, which means fewer rules in general,

331
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: bypassing state laws, just paying normal corporate income taxes and

332
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: putting gambling in front of Americans everywhere.

333
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know that that strategy has been tremendously successful.

334
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: It turns out that the Calshi super Bowl market alone

335
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: was some nine hundred million dollars as of yesterday, So

336
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: that was just on Calshi, not even including polymarket. I'm

337
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: still waiting on data from the American Gaming Association on

338
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: the total amount spent on the super Bowl. It's a

339
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: bit sketchy. Last year they said sixteen billion was wagered.

340
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: This year they're predicting one billion. That doesn't seem to

341
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: line up, so it might. I don't know which number

342
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: is yet going to be correct. So I just want

343
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: to lead with if Calshi alone is a billion, you

344
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: can be will you be willing to bet that DraftKings fan, duel, polymarket,

345
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: all of that is going to be much much more

346
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: than that. But this gets to this entire idea of

347
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: regulation and rot in our society. So if you happen

348
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: to watch the Super Bowl, yes, I know that a

349
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: lot of the discourse was around around bed Bunny and

350
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: all of that, But the one that's really stuck out

351
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: to me, mac if we have this tweet is from

352
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Solander, who says, my takeaway from the Super Bowl

353
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: is that the entire American economy is being propped up

354
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: by AI, weight loss drugs, cryptocurrency and gambling. That's basically it.

355
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: If you watch oh sorry, lays Chips, by the way,

356
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Lays Chips and then Duncan all right, I mean, out

357
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: of all of that Duncan lily subjectionable. I mean, just

358
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: take a look at what we are. It's like obesity, gambling,

359
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: AI data centers. And I texted this to a friend

360
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: and he goes, well, not technic, correct. Those are just

361
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: the industries that make enough money to buy Super Bowl ads.

362
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: The rest of the economy is healthcare, which exists entirely

363
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: because of regulatory capture and the fact that we don't

364
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: remove subsidies. So actually, no, the healthcare industry is doing

365
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: really well. They don't need to advertise for you because

366
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: they have a gun to your head to force you

367
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: to buy their product. So that's that's that's the United States.

368
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: This is America. Yeah, we're in We will be there soon.

369
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Don't worry. This administration will help them.

370
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: And it just, I mean, it just cheapens everything, you know,

371
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: Like can we say with confidence that none of the

372
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: players in the game or on the take on any

373
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: of this. And because remember we're not talking about just

374
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: you know overall that who's.

375
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 3: Gonna win and buy how much? It's like all of

376
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: these little micro prop.

377
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: Bets that you can place that make it so easy

378
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: to game. And we've seen this, you know, time and

379
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: time again. We've seen indict indictments for point shaving and

380
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: these sorts of things like it just totally destroys any

381
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: sense that what you're watching is really free and fair competition.

382
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 2: And then on the other side of it, like it

383
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: ruins lives. You know, you've done some of the best

384
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: research and highlight it. Thank you of the way that

385
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: you know they rig it. You can't win, if you

386
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: win too much, they kick you off, like it is

387
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 2: the definition of a rigged game. And how that is

388
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: legal is continues to be insane to me.

389
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: Look, look at the number points zero four percent. Be honest,

390
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: are you in the point zero four percent? Or are

391
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: you a loser? Okay, I don't understand the willful the

392
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: willful participation in your own bankruptcy, but that's what these

393
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: people try to sell you. And to your point, by

394
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: the way, you know, even those point zero four percent,

395
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: how many of these people are just insider traders. So

396
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: let's give you a good, good example here, all right,

397
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: And to be clear, this is you know, my own analysis.

398
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: Nothing is confirmed. Calcy or Polymarket has not yet offered comment.

399
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and put D eight up here on

400
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: the screen. So you have a person here who is

401
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: speculated to be an insider Again, we don't know that

402
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: yet for sure. Who bet almost exclusively on halftime event contracts?

403
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: For example, will Lady Gaga perform during the super Bowl

404
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: halftime show? Will Travis Scott perform, Will Drake perform, Will

405
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: Balven perform? Will Ricky Martin be at the super Bowl?

406
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Will Cardi b be at the super Bowl? Will post

407
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Malone perform? He just happened to bet in exactly the

408
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: right way to net a profit of some sixteen seventeen, yes,

409
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: six about seventeen thousand dollars. Now you know that information.

410
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: It's not just bad bunny who happens to have that

411
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: stage hands, you know, you know, there's probably what hundreds

412
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: of people behind the scenes, all the guys carrying the

413
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: trees or who were dressed up as a tree right right,

414
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: So they probably do because journy rehearsal. My point is

415
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: just like, is there any regulation around this? Yeah? I

416
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: get I know it's only seventeen thousand, sure, but when

417
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: you come by in this with Venezuela, with all what

418
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: you just talked, I mean, the amount of prop bets

419
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: are insane. I was watching the broadcast before the Super Bowl.

420
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: You had live draftking prop bet odds beneath the broadcast,

421
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Like this is baked into the product. How can you

422
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: possibly ensure that there is no you know, manipulation or

423
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: any real integrity of the game. And especially now I

424
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: guess it's basketball season, now that the NFL is officially done, Well,

425
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: let's put D three up here on the screen. Giannis,

426
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: one of the most famous you know, basketball players, is

427
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: now going to be an investor in Calshie. He says,

428
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: we all on calsh Now everyone is online. The internet

429
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: is full of opinions. I decided it was time to

430
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: make some on my own. Today, I'm joining Calshee as

431
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: a shareholder. We all on calsh Now. Okay, so you

432
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: have one of the flagship players in basketball joining Calshie.

433
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: Now let's then remember that Betts literally on him his

434
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: team games that he will be involved in. He will

435
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: be a direct participant in terms of the potential profits

436
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: off of set game. There have been multiple markets which

437
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: have been very swingy. Let's put D three up here

438
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: on the screen, for example, involving his own trade rumors,

439
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: which again he could now be a potential profit profit

440
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: off of. You can I mean when we are betting,

441
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: look the heads and tails, that's been a bet for forever.

442
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: We're not talking about that. We're talking about I sent

443
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: you this people on poly market. We're sitting there betting

444
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: the over under on the national anthem. People are out

445
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: there the streaker, that's a big one. Will there be

446
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: a streaker? You know, somebody pointed this out if I

447
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: because the odds weren't very good for there be a streaker,

448
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: why would you not put as much money on as

449
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: you could on Streaker and then Streak, and then you

450
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: just take eighty percent profits. What half of that, let's say,

451
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: goes to find the fees or hire somebody to do it.

452
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: You know, pay some idiot out there to pay for

453
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl ticket only six thousand bucks. Let's say

454
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: put one hundred thousand on it. You get eight hundred

455
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: grand eight to one. I mean, yeah, somebody will do it.

456
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about the dildo thing. Yeah, back in

457
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: the wnbaight. This is every like, we cannot live like this.

458
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: There has to be regulation and this is just the

459
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: worst part. Like Calci and Polymarket are at the bleeding edge.

460
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: But I want to make clear, even legal sports gambling

461
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: with all of these profit prop bets, it's just as bad. Like, yes,

462
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: it's not as you know, Streaker or any of that

463
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: other stuff. Micro prop bets have no literally no usefulness

464
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: other than basically insider trading, yeah, and robbing you of

465
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: your money, thinking that you're so smart that you're gonna

466
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: be go oh JSN for two touchdowns. Yeah, let me

467
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: know how that one hit. I know, I literally know

468
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: somebody who took that back. And so that's what I'm

469
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: talking about. It's one of those where these guys everybody's

470
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: pretending that it's fun, it is enabling and creating millions

471
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: of gambling addicts, massively profiting all of these people. The

472
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: you know, the Calshy woman, She's like, I'm one of

473
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: the youngest billionaires in the world. I'm like, I'm not

474
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: fucking celebrating that. Let's discuss at it. Actually, sorry, It's

475
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: one of those where when we create, normalize and popularize this,

476
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: we will create a situation where this can get totally

477
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: out of control mass bankruptcies. We already know that states

478
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: which legalize gambling not only see increasing get they actually

479
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: see an aggregate increase or decrease in the amount of

480
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: credit for everybody, just simply as a result of that.

481
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: And then I mean intimate partner violence. People who lose

482
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: bets unfortunately very likely to take it out on their

483
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: wife like it's sickening. It massively creates a vice spiral,

484
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's actually the worst part.

485
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: Overwhelmingly men who are you know, who are betting. And

486
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: in fact, one of the things that we were reading

487
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: about is how women placing bets is actually a bit

488
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: of a red flag because usually there's sort of like

489
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: Straws perfect, Yeah, to cover for you know, someone else

490
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: who's a you know, potential shark who's trying to place

491
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: bets that might actually hit, and god forbid we have that,

492
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: you know, the honest one. I actually followed closely because

493
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: Kyle's big Knicks fan, so I'm now a Knicks fan

494
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: by proxy. And so he's been telling me like, oh,

495
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: we might get Jiannis and you know, they might, we

496
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: might trade Karl Anthony Towns and like this has been

497
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: an ongoing conversation and then lo and behold, like, no

498
00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 2: trade happens. He's staying with Milwaukee, and all of these rumors, Well,

499
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: we're profiting off of, oh is he going to stay?

500
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: Is he going to go?

501
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: You build up all this hype on the other side

502
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: of like, oh, he's probably going to get traded in

503
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: the knix Er, probably get traded to. There were some

504
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: other teams that were also floated as possible locations, and

505
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: then you know, since you build up that expectation on

506
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: the other side, then the you know, the fact that

507
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: he stays becomes very profitable. So it's just discussing. It's

508
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: insane to me that an active player can sit on

509
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: the board of Calshi. That is so crazy to me.

510
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: But you know, I think there's actually connection to the

511
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: conversation we were having about the Epstein files. Bear with me,

512
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: because we're discussing, we're discussing how you know, there's all

513
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: with Lord Mandelson. There's this very clear argument to be

514
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: made this was insider trading, and that insider trading was

515
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: some significant chunk of how he was able to get

516
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: his wealth. And I think what the elites are offering

517
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: now at a time when they're trying to when they've

518
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: already destroyed the you know, blue collar jobs, when they've

519
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: already destroyed the unions, when they've gobbled up all of

520
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: the gains from productivity over decades, when they're promising to

521
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 2: destroy now all the white collar jobs and everything's too expensive, etc.

522
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Rather than offering, Okay, we're gonna make it so that

523
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: you participate in you know, the promised economic growth from AI.

524
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: We're going to make sure your wages go out, that

525
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: you have ownership in these things that you know, can

526
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: participate in the extraordinary wealth that we plan to create.

527
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: Instead of that, they're doing this sort of like low

528
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: grade democratizing of insider trading, where It's like, you know, now,

529
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: it's not just for the Epstein class that can participate

530
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: in insider trading. You too might get lucky enough to

531
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: be one of the trees and bad Bunny's performance and

532
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: have some inside knowledge you can trade on, you know,

533
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: put your whole life savings up in order to get

534
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: together our easily fifteen thousand dollars. That's effectively the deal

535
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: that is being offered. It ties back in a sense

536
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: to the Trump accounts, the Trump Baby accounts too, where

537
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: it's the same thing. It's like, well, we'll give you

538
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: a little stake in this casino that we call the

539
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: stock market. No, you're not going to have power and

540
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: any sort of democratic decision making. You're not going to

541
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: have any say in this new social contract since we're

542
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: just like ripping up the old one and writing a

543
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: new one. You're not gonna have any say in that.

544
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: But we'll give you a little more taste of the casino,

545
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: will make it a little bit more feasible or a

546
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: little bit more believable that you're going to be able

547
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: to hit it big with this expanded lottery, which is

548
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: essentially what it is. And I mean, we all know

549
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: the you know, the state. Lotters like these are basically

550
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: attacks on the poor. So people who are desperate, who

551
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: see no other way and like to live in the

552
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: fantasy of like maybe this time it's going to hit.

553
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: Maybe this is time it's going to hit.

554
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: We're going to expand that so that more millions of

555
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: people get trapped in the cycle where ultimately, you know,

556
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: the wealth is all continuing to be funnel to the top.

557
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: But we're going to offer you a glimpse of a

558
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: promise that maybe you can be the one that's in

559
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: the Bad Bunny super Bowl halftime show and happens to

560
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: get this insider info that you can try.

561
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hand up. This is my own class bias.

562
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: I didn't notice it much until it hit my cohort

563
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: for sports betting. But you're right, and it's only after

564
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: I started delving more into it and I would look

565
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: at lottery and I go, oh my god. I'm like,

566
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I can't even believe that I that I wasn't aware

567
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: of this whole Yeah, Like, if you go to the

568
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: Union Station DC lotto stand, it is homeless people out

569
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: the door, not there for warmth, They're there buy tickets.

570
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, I was not

571
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: really you know that, I'm not that in touch. I

572
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: guess with people who buy scratch offs, like every single day.

573
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Now I look for it, and I can actually see

574
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: it everywhere. Every time you're at a seven eleven, Like

575
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: every time you're at a gas station, if you stop

576
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: or something and you go in, there's somebody there, you know,

577
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: buying the tickets. Like and these are not even like

578
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: big ones, but there's something about the thrill and it

579
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: just dreams their finances. Unfortunately, wasn't as awake to it.

580
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: There wasn't enough of a mass populist movement to be like, hey,

581
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: is anyone going to take care of these people? Look

582
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: I save them from I.

583
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: Changed on this because I have more of a like

584
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: libertarian social view, so I was like, oh, you know,

585
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: adults like should be able to, you know, for their

586
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: informed and that's how they want to like spend their

587
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: money or whatever.

588
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: They're not informed. And that's the whole point.

589
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: That's the piece, is that this is not it's first

590
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: of all, it's not for infair. It's completely rigged, and

591
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: you are up against, like your brain is up against

592
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: the psychological warfare of these trillion dollar companies that are

593
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: attempting to get you hooked, that are gamifying everything to get.

594
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 3: You in and keep you there.

595
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 2: It's not a fair fight, you know, it's not like

596
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: I think we have these this view in the US

597
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: and in the West in general, that like, you know,

598
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: a system as long as there isn't like a gunpoint

599
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: into your head, that that's not coercion, right, that you're

600
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: not being manipulated. And that's just not the case. Clearly,

601
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: you are being exploited. You're being manipulated, and you know

602
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: you're free in sort of like a technical sense, but

603
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: the reality is the deck is being stacked against you

604
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: at every single turn. And that has become again thanks

605
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: to you know, you're really highlighting this issue. Is the

606
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: first one I really had to stop and think about, like, okay,

607
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: well what does this mean and what is it doing

608
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: to our society? And it has just become abundantly clear

609
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: to me that this whole thing is corrosive in every

610
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: way and deeply damaging it.

611
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome, this is the gateway drug to discovering what

612
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: true freedom is, what does freedom actually mean? And are

613
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: you truly free or are you a slave? If you're

614
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: out there, who is betting every day to try and

615
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: to make your wealth. So actually, the communists, I've always

616
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: understood this about structural, structural advantage and freedom. So anyway,

617
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: the point just remains if stay away, like I wish

618
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: that we had more power. I hope one day government

619
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: regulators and all of them will wake up. But under

620
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: this administration, this is not going to happen. These people

621
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: they love this shit right because they're becoming massively profitable,

622
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: and these people will pay anything to remain legal. I'm

623
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: going to do a segment soon about OnlyFans just flagging that.

624
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: That'll be a fun one for everybody to pay attention to.

625
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: But next I'm going to have to start looking at

626
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: this Calshi advertising and some of the other stuff that's

627
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: been flagged to me. These people make this cigarette come

628
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: and he's in the sixties, look like boy scouts. It's

629
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: crazy what they make. The casinos of Las Vegas look

630
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: like church nuns. Like in terms of what they're promising.

631
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: At least the casinos are relatively honest. You come here,

632
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose money, but you get to go watch

633
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Oh with the Bolaggio or something like that, and well

634
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: compious of tickets. These I mean, the amount of lies

635
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: that are being told about your ability to win, what

636
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: your you know, insider protection of insider trading, and so

637
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: much more buying off literal players. This is very, very

638
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: dangerous to sports, to society. But that unfortunate part, it's

639
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: the revealing nature of like where we are right now.

640
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: We have got to get away from this.

641
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to push Olympics to tomorrow because Dan

642
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: Osborne is standing by. But I do want to know

643
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: what did you think of the bad Bunny halftime shows?

644
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Bone?

645
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: Were you? Were you furious? Were you triggered?

646
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so people, maybe I'm being lib I thought it

647
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: was good. I thought it was good here, so it

648
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: was very I bet you if I had to watch

649
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: it in this in the stadium, I wouldn't have liked

650
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: it much. It was clearly very produced for television.

651
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: They're all meant really fatigue no.

652
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I yeah, but it was one of those where you know,

653
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: you could see with the set the set design was amazing.

654
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean I don't speak Spanish, like, I only speak

655
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: a little bit like maybe twenty percent or so, so

656
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what he was saying purely off

657
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: of production. I was like Hey, man, I mean it's

658
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty good. And I'm not a big Reggaetne fan, but

659
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: he convinced me. You know, it wasn't bad. Uh yeah,

660
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, to be honest, I thought I actually thought

661
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: it was pretty good. There is a meta conversation around

662
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: the NFL where, look, everyone, and I tweeted this at

663
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: the time, Everyone's like, oh, they're choosing bad Bonny because

664
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: he's woke. I was like, guys, you don't know anything

665
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: about the NFL. Then the NFL wants to become an

666
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: international sport, so I don't know if you saw this.

667
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: The NFL already announced they're going to be playing I

668
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: think it's eleven international games next year. Eleven games. One

669
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: of them is a division rivalry where they are flying

670
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in the Rams from LA and

671
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: Sam Francisco to Melbourne, Australia, So a major flagship football

672
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: game is going to be played in Melbourne. They're doing

673
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: this all over the world. Latin America is one of

674
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: their dream markets already. Both the LA teams have big

675
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: fan bases in Mexico and across Latin America. We had

676
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: the Brazil game that happened earlier this season I think

677
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: the Brazil game is back on. I know that the

678
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: NFL is targeting that. Also, they're all on the same

679
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: time zone so they can watch. This is pure business.

680
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: So it's one of those where look like I don't

681
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: think it really had anything to do with wokeness, but

682
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: it does relate to our conversation about gambling and all that.

683
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: I think it's bad because they just want to globalize

684
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: the sport, and with globalization basically comes what happened to

685
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: the NBA. Remember that whole Hong Kong situation where the coach,

686
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: I forget exactly, forget who it was, Stere Warri something

687
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: like this. He said something about how he supported the

688
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: protesters in Hong Kong and they freaked out because the

689
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: Chinese government was like, oh my god, and he almost

690
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: got fired and the owners spoke out. With globalization comes

691
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: the same thing that happened, you know, for all the

692
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: rest of our economy. But I mean, you're almost swimming

693
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: against the tide at this point. So that's my overall, Well,

694
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: that should remain an American sport, but like it's not.

695
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: It's just that's not what they want. These people are

696
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: multi billionaires. Roger Goodell's very good at his job. All

697
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: he wants to do is expand, expand, expand. They have

698
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: all NFL fans buy the balls. They know they will

699
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: watch no matter what. They literally put games on at

700
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: nine am and people wait wake up to watch them.

701
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: People will watch anything that you see. I like you,

702
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: and I you and I support that. Other people do not.

703
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: Support that well, I mean, but also, I mean I

704
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: don't doubt that, you know, the expansion is part of

705
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: the taculus.

706
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean, bad Bunny.

707
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: I genuinely didn't realize what a massive that it was,

708
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: like him and Taylor Swift. Yeah, the two biggest parties

709
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: artists of our generation. And I like, I didn't realize

710
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: how massive he is. So and not only the you know,

711
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: the international expansion, but there's fifty million Spanish speakers here

712
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: in the US, and I'm sure that's a market that

713
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: they'd like for their penetration into. So but you know,

714
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously his performance was political. I think would

715
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: be a lie to say it wasn't. You know, didn't

716
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: have political tone to it. The big thing that people

717
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: were noting was he had up that message that said

718
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: the only thing more powerful than hate his love.

719
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: He's been very outspoken about you.

720
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: Know, ice abuses, and I think he's canceled concerts even

721
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: in the US because of fear of ICE and immigration

722
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: enforcement at his concerts, et cetera.

723
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: So there's no doubt there was political.

724
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: The other thing that I didn't see as much conversation

725
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: about there was that part where they were like dancing

726
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: on the like electrical polls, and then there was there

727
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: was like an explosion, remember that, And I'm sure that

728
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 2: that relates to Puerto Rico's ongoing electricity crisis.

729
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: So there were those. There were those messages as well.

730
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: There was a wedding in it, which is really cool

731
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: is apparently in a real wedding where the couple had

732
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: written him and invited him to their wedding, and he was.

733
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: Like, how about instead of that, how about you.

734
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: Come and get married during my Super Bowl halftime performance.

735
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: So I thought the whole thing was very I thought

736
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: it was very well done.

737
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 3: I thought it was beautiful.

738
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: I thought it was decidedly political, like everything's political without being.

739
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I was just like, oh, it's

740
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: a good show.

741
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: Well, what I was going to say is I think

742
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: it's political without being like in your face and that's

743
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: I think what people object to is when the messaging

744
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: is too aggressive and it takes the place of the artistry.

745
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: But clearly, I mean, to me, one of the most

746
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: political parts of it is just when he read off

747
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: when he said the names of all the countries in

748
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: the Americas, including countries like Cuba that were you know,

749
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: trying to utterly and miserate and destroy right now, or Venezuela,

750
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: another place that you know, we're military intervention and have

751
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: long spent time trying to destroy them, et cetera. Actually

752
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: found that to be a really beautiful and a certain

753
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: way courageous act.

754
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: I guess, I mean I thought. I mean, he's the

755
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: biggest artist in Latin America. That's his entire fan base.

756
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of having the halftime show all

757
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: in Spanish. Period. Look like I said, we should decide

758
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: should we be our own sovereign nation, should we become

759
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: globalized to the entire us, to the global culture. That's

760
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: what the NFL wants. Most NFL fans are going to

761
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: put up with it. I don't think it's necessarily a

762
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: good thing. It is what it is. That's why I mean,

763
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: I just do think that people who are like, oh,

764
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, but they've gone woke. They don't care. They

765
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: just want to make money. That's all that they are

766
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: in for. They are salivating over. I mean, you know

767
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: those international games, they all sell out, they all get

768
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: people all over those countries. They show up, and they'll

769
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: show up in like thirty two different team jerseys. Like

770
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I'll never understand a German guy who's an Arizona Cardinal fans.

771
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: But they exist apparently, so I don't know, didn't. I

772
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: didn't really look at it that way. I was just like, Okay,

773
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: clearly they want to penetrate the Latin American market. That's

774
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: what this entire thing is about. They succeeded. The ratings

775
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: are in and they get one hundred and thirty five

776
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: million people watch it the largest pop It's also been

777
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: the most watched NFL season of all time. Like, the

778
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: NFL is only growing, and that's where they see the

779
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: dollar signs. That's where they want things to go. Like

780
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny kind of made it like a seller bration

781
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: of I guess Latin American identity really like with the

782
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: reading off of all that, Yeah, fine again, you know,

783
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: I think people know my feelings about immigration and all that.

784
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 1: But I really didn't find it that bad, like objectionable.

785
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: Thing.

786
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: But it was all in Spanish, and I mean it

787
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. They're like, okay, I mean I literally, lad,

788
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: I speak Spanish, and like I said, I speak twenty

789
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: percent Spanish, and even I was like, dude, I don't

790
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: know what the fuck is going on. So I don't know.

791
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: I mean, but a lot of people music like I

792
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: enjoy some of us.

793
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: I like some of his songs, even though I don't

794
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: speak Spanish, I don't know what what he's saying or

795
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: what they're about.

796
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been plenty of Spanish songs.

797
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that are super popular, that have been.

798
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: Very popular Shakira, you know. So it's like it's not who.

799
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: Has also performed at the super Bowl before previously Colombian.

800
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: I forget she is Colombian. Yes, that's exactly right.

801
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: We do have a reaction from Trump D's head and

802
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 2: that we can put up on the screen here. So

803
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 2: one thing that is kind of funny is that, you know,

804
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: TPUSA did their alternative Great American Have tun Suit or

805
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: whatever they called it with Kid Rock. It was abysmald

806
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 2: I mean it, Yes, he was lip singing, but he

807
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: wasn't even bothering to like really lip saying. The audio

808
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: was unsang.

809
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: It sucked.

810
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry, of course I like. And not

811
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: even just my bias, there were many right wingers who

812
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: also were like, this was really bad.

813
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: In any case, here.

814
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: Is what well, where I was going with that is

815
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: apparently a Trump super Bowl party. They did not watch

816
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: the TV. They watched bad money. Anyway, Here's what Trump

817
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: had to say. The super Bowl halftime show is absolutely terrible.

818
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: What are the worst ever? Makes no sense? Is an

819
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: affront to the greatness of America. Doesn't represent our standards

820
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: of success, creativity, or excellence. No matter understands the word

821
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: this guy is saying. The dancing is disgusting, especially for

822
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: young children that are watching from throughout the USA and

823
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 2: all over the world. This show is just a slap

824
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: in the face to our country, which is setting new

825
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 2: standards and records every single day, including the best stock

826
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: market in four oh one k's in history. There's nothing

827
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 2: inspirational about this miss of the halftime show and watch

828
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: it will get great reviews from the fake news media

829
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 2: like Soccer and Jetty because they haven't gotten a clue

830
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: of what is going on in the real world world.

831
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: And by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its

832
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: ridiculous new kickoff. He's obsessed with the kickoff anyway. That

833
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: was Trump's reaction. One thing that was that someone noted,

834
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: some intelligent person noted, is that this truth social went

835
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: out exactly nine pm, and so they think it was

836
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: pre written and auto to auto post because it went

837
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: out exactly at nine pm, which I mean, it does sound.

838
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: It is sort of vague, like the sort of thing

839
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: you could write in advance, like it is going to

840
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: assume there's going to be some you know, some ass

841
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: shaking in it, so you can say, oh, the dancing

842
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 2: was disgusting, et cetera.

843
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: I get.

844
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 6: I don't know.

845
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought that the whole freak out was

846
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: a bit much like I said, I view it purely business.

847
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't love it, like I don't love the fact

848
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: that it's going to become a purely international sport. That's

849
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: what they want. The more that those people get, you know,

850
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: the more money and dollar signs, the less kind of

851
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: American it becomes. At the same time, NFL fans have

852
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: nobody but themselves to blame because not only do they

853
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: put up with this shit the ratings keep going up,

854
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: so it's not exactly like they can speak out. And yeah,

855
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the freak out was just like, oh,

856
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: like I'm telling you, like I'm I'm pretty sensitive, I

857
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: guess to seeing that, I really didn't see it. I

858
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: was like, it was a good show. Yeah, he's very talented.

859
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was well produced, you know, et cetera.

860
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, with the political undertones, but you

861
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: really would have to be looking for it, in my opinion,

862
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: like to say, a celebration of all Latin America, which

863
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: again maybe it's if you don't know anything about him,

864
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: because I knew who he was, I knew how big

865
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: he was as a musician, and this guy sells out

866
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: shows all over the world like.

867
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: His crazy he has right now, I was looking right

868
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: now on Spotify, is the top all yeah, top five

869
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 2: songs are all no.

870
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 6: No.

871
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: I've seen it before. I've seen the sell out numbers

872
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: like well where some of his shows are when he

873
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: will do in Latin America. So I've been aware of

874
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny like for quite quite a while. So I was,

875
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it pretty much was exactly what

876
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I expected. So there you go. Yeah, I thought I

877
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: actually did pretty well. I mean, apparently that makes me

878
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: a huge lip, but I was like, hey, it's a

879
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: good show. We enjoyed it. It was only like twelve

880
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: and then we move on to a very very boring game.

881
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks, by the way, and

882
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold especially. He deserves it after the run that

883
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: he had.

884
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: All Right, guys, we are very fortunate to be joined

885
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: this morning in studio by Dan Osborne. He is the

886
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: independent candidate for United States Senate in the state of Nebraska.

887
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: Welcome sir, Thank you. Great to have you in person.

888
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, all right.

889
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: So, so how's the campaign going? This time?

890
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: You got a different opponent than last time. You're up

891
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: against Pete Ricketts.

892
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 3: How do things look so far?

893
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 7: Things are looking really good. So the fourth poll just

894
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 7: came out in the race and we're still statistically tied,

895
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 7: even after he spent two million dollars in the state

896
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 7: against me radio ads, TV ads. He went up really

897
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 7: early that frankly, Nebraska was not even used to see

898
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 7: and so yeah, we haven't spent much and so I'm

899
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 7: feeling really good about this one.

900
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: And so if you can remind the audience, you came

901
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: closer than many have to being able to defeat a

902
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: Republican in the state of Nebraska. Long time thought of

903
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: a lock state. You were able to do it as

904
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: an independent. You really been trying to embrace economic populist issues.

905
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: Why did you decide to run again? I know we

906
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: talked immediately after your race, but you what did you

907
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: think that you learned from that race that you could

908
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: try to do again?

909
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I suppose ultimately why I decided to do

910
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 7: it again. There was a lot of people asking me too,

911
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 7: but ultimately was I sat my family down to dinner,

912
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 7: and you know, we talked about what.

913
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 6: It would look like we do we want to do

914
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 6: this again?

915
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 7: And the resounding answer, especially for my kids and my wife,

916
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 7: where no, we don't want to do this again, right

917
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 7: because it's extremely difficult on your family life, you know,

918
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 7: being in the public eye, the mud slinging that occurs.

919
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 7: But once we started talking about the issues, like specifically,

920
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 7: my twenty two year old daughter said, Dad, I don't

921
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 7: ever think I'm going to be a homeowner, you know,

922
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 7: the first time age buyer for or the age for

923
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 7: home buyers forty years old now in this country and

924
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 7: collect lead. This generation isn't going to do as good

925
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 7: as their parents for the first time, and so issues

926
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 7: like that. By the time when we were doing the dishes,

927
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 7: it was like, we have to do this.

928
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: You felt an obligation.

929
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: We wanted to talk to you about some of the

930
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: sort of Nebraska specific economic issues that are going on

931
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: because you've got, you know, a unique view.

932
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: We're very coastal here.

933
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: Unfortunately we don't get to talk to that many people

934
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: from Nebraska. It's what F two up on the screen here.

935
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: I know this has been a major and significant issue.

936
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: There's a major Tyson's Foods plant that is going to close,

937
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 2: that has closed now in Lexington, Nebraska. Closure it says

938
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: here a result more than thirty two hundred people in

939
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: a town of just over ten thousand losing their jobs.

940
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: Can you talk some about what happened here and also

941
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: the failure of government that this represents, because there were

942
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: tools that your opponent and that this administration could have

943
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: deployed to avoid this devastating economic blow.

944
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean, this is the gutting of Middle

945
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 6: America in.

946
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 7: Action, right like at a time when beef prices, and

947
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 7: beef in itself is a very high demand. They choose

948
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 7: to close down a plant that does five percent of

949
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 7: the beef production in the country. And you know, so

950
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 7: they are in violation of the Packers and Stockyards Act

951
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 7: of nineteen twenty one, which was created to prevent this

952
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 7: exact thing that they're doing, right, this consolidation of industries

953
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 7: where they can manipulate prices for both the ranchers and

954
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 7: the consumers.

955
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 6: We're seeing it play out.

956
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 7: You know, I've tried to get our federal delegation to

957
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 7: follow through with this, Pete Ricketts said, after I did

958
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 7: my press conference out there, Pete Rickett said, we'll look

959
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 7: into it. And then the day after he said that,

960
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 7: he got a donation from Tyson to his campaign.

961
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 6: And then two months.

962
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 7: Later, you know, they had a reporter catch him in

963
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 7: the hallway and he said, oh, they're not doing anything wrong.

964
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 6: Everything's fine.

965
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we actually have some of that. Why don't we

966
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: take a listen and we'll get your reaction.

967
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 6: Let's roll it, Senator Ricketts.

968
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 8: A couple months ago, you said that you were going

969
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 8: to look into whether Tyson was violating the Packers and

970
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 8: Stockyards Act, But now thirty three hundred people.

971
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 6: Have lost their jobs.

972
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 8: So I'm wondering what exactly you did to try to

973
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 8: save that plan.

974
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 9: So they are not violating the sccer packyards. I've been

975
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 9: to Lexington to work with the mayor about being able

976
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 9: to use the episode to continue to create jobs. So

977
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 9: we're gonna be working with Tyson. They're talking about they're

978
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 9: doing evaluation what they're going to continue for. But there's

979
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 9: valuable resources there with regard to the land, the railroad,

980
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 9: spur and the wastewater plant that could be used for

981
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 9: future job.

982
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 6: What did you do to try to save it before

983
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 6: it closed down?

984
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 9: So again, this is one of the things where we

985
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 9: have a private sector.

986
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: We have a private sector, sir, and we have a

987
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: railroad and they'll they'll be fine.

988
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 6: Can I tell you what that reminds me of.

989
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 7: You ever seen Charlie in the chocolate factory the number

990
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 7: one where he keeps to stop toning that kid to mumble, Guys,

991
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 7: what is he even saying there? He's just like saying

992
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 7: words without any meaning behind them, And it's because he

993
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 7: doesn't have a defensible position because he's taking their money

994
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 7: and doing their bidding. We're seeing it over and over

995
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 7: and over again with a lot of our elected officials

996
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 7: and man, people are getting tired of it and they're

997
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 7: seeing through it.

998
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to ask you specifically about the

999
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: beef prices. Can we put F three up here on

1000
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: the screen. I'm curious for your reaction. There's been a

1001
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the administration right now to lower

1002
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: the price of beef. Their response instead of fighting for

1003
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: them like this is actually import a significant amount of

1004
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: beef from South America, which you know America first. We

1005
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: can talk I guess kind of separately about this, but

1006
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, it seems this obviously is important to many

1007
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: people on the coast and the rest of the country

1008
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: for just the price for our ability to afford at

1009
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: the grocery store, but for a year state, it's a

1010
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: lot of jobs. It is like central to the identity.

1011
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: Can you just talk a little bit about that. Well,

1012
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: ranchers are finally starting to make some good money. You know,

1013
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: thirty years ago they were making seventy cents on the

1014
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: dollar for their product.

1015
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 7: Uh now, uh, you know, we're they're lucky to make

1016
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 7: thirty cents on the dollar. But this year, you know,

1017
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 7: with the demand is high, and so in conjunction with

1018
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 7: the consolidating of the packers and then now this ranchers

1019
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 7: are going to suffer.

1020
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 6: Absolutely. I've been talking to them.

1021
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of a lot of MAGA ranchers

1022
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 7: reposts a lot of our stuff online because of they

1023
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 7: understand what's happening and they're pissed.

1024
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: Off, zooming out from this specific issue. How is the

1025
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: economy in Nebraska overall?

1026
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 7: Well, I would say I would say that overall it's

1027
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 7: it's been steady, you know, especially in Omahon Lincoln with

1028
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 7: job job growth, but I feel there there's definitely a

1029
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 7: sense of decline with brain drain.

1030
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 6: You know, with our governor using I don't even know if.

1031
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 7: I can say it on air, but you know, okay,

1032
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 7: he uses the we'd lib TRD frequently, and you know,

1033
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 7: just a common disrespect for human decency is what we're

1034
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 7: seeing with a lot of our state and federal delegation.

1035
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 7: And so that's prompting people to not want to stay

1036
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 7: in our young people specifically not want to stay in

1037
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 7: our state.

1038
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 6: And you know, we need to.

1039
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 7: Be continually growing and we need to be protecting our

1040
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 7: rural way of life too. You know, we're at an

1041
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 7: all time shortage for row Croft farmers and that that's

1042
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 7: going to continue to happen and two percent of the

1043
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 7: population feed the rest of us. We have to have

1044
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 7: sustainable farming practices and that doesn't include consolidation a bag right.

1045
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 7: That that includes keeping them profitable with things like stringent

1046
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 7: right to repair laws. If you own something, you should

1047
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 7: have the right to repair it. I mean, these tractors

1048
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 7: cost upwards of a million dollars. So if you're a

1049
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 7: young person wanting to you know, live that rural way

1050
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 7: of life, you it's almost impostussible to break into that

1051
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 7: right now, go ahead.

1052
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: And put F four up on the screen to that point,

1053
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: so you know, you've got this twelve billion dollar farmer

1054
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: bailout that the administration has pushed through. This as real

1055
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 2: crop farmers in the Midwest and great Plans have a

1056
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 2: better idea of how much money they can expect from

1057
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,479
Speaker 2: one time federal aid payments announced last month. You've got

1058
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people in line to receive

1059
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: these funds. I know a lot of analyzes that say

1060
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: that this won't be sufficient. This of course relates to

1061
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: the terror regime that this administration has pushed forward. You know,

1062
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: what are you hearing from from farmers about the state

1063
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 2: of the AIG economy and their ability to make it

1064
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: and whether or not this bailout will be sufficient for them.

1065
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 6: It's a joke.

1066
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 7: It's a joke they and they see it. I talk

1067
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 7: to them every day. I was just talking to a

1068
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 7: bean farmer the other day and I asked him about

1069
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 7: that bailout.

1070
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 6: First of all, they don't want handouts.

1071
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 7: They want a market to sell their product, right, So

1072
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 7: he is sitting on beans that he can't sell, and

1073
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 7: so I asked him, how is that twelve billion dollars

1074
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 7: going to help you to stay afloat? And he said, well,

1075
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 7: first of all, it's not the twenty billion dollars we

1076
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 7: gave Argentina, right.

1077
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, good point, that's in question, right right.

1078
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 7: I mean, then you can add maybe another twenty billion

1079
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 7: dollars arguably to make it forty billion dollars.

1080
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 6: Argentina gets now we're buying their beef.

1081
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 7: But the bailout, he said, what it's going to do

1082
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 7: is it's going to help him buy his seed and

1083
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 7: his chemicals for next year. But it does absolutely nothing

1084
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 7: for him this year. So I think what this is

1085
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 7: going to cause and I believe we're already seeing it

1086
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 7: more consolidation of ag right, the people that can afford

1087
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 7: to come in and buy them up, the Bill Gates

1088
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 7: of the world buying up land in Nebraska. And again

1089
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 7: it goes back to sustainable farming. And it's just it's

1090
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 7: not good for Nebraska, it's not good for the country.

1091
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: Frankly, So, how do you think about tariffs? I'm curious

1092
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: because you know, I know a lot of soybean farmers

1093
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: many others were dramatically affected. However, we do you have

1094
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: to balance our national strategic priority with China. How do

1095
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: you think about tariffs as a tool when it respects

1096
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: with respect to agriculture. Many lobbying, you know, even farmers

1097
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: or against tariffs specifically for this reason, which I understand,

1098
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of things to think about.

1099
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 1: You might be a United States centator. How would you think.

1100
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 6: About the question, Well, you hit the nail on the head.

1101
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 7: It's a tool, right, And as a mechanic myself, I

1102
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 7: don't just have one tool. I don't have a big

1103
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 7: old hammer that I use for everything. Right, you have

1104
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 7: precision machine tools, and you have a whole array of tools,

1105
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 7: and this is one of the tools that you use

1106
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 7: to protect American jobs. I mean, we've seen it be

1107
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 7: successful in the automotive sector. You know, you predominantly the

1108
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 7: F one fifties and the Silverados and the RAM trucks

1109
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 7: are still predominant here in the country. And that is

1110
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 7: you know, you could argue that is due from our

1111
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 7: tariff policy. So it has their place. But I do

1112
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 7: think the power of the tariff should be with Congress.

1113
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 7: It shouldn't be with the executive branch. It was never

1114
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 7: designed that way. We should go back to doing it.

1115
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 7: Congress has that control.

1116
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: Let's zoom out a little bit and talk about the

1117
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 2: political landscape. You're obviously you're an independent. You're running as

1118
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: an independent. I think most people would look at the

1119
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 2: state of Nebraska and say, a Democrat, no matter how good,

1120
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: you know, would not stand a chance of winning statewide

1121
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: in a state like Nebraska. You know, it shifted very

1122
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: much to the right. It's deeply read deeply Republican. At

1123
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: this point, what do you think it is about the

1124
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: Democratic Party that is so appalling to so many people in.

1125
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 3: A rural state like Nebraska.

1126
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 7: Well, I think I don't know that I'd use the

1127
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 7: word appalling but I'll give you an example. I went

1128
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 7: I went door knocking in Weeping Water, Nebraska.

1129
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 6: And when we're.

1130
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 7: Driving around going door knocking, I look for the Trump

1131
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 7: sign because I want to talk to that person.

1132
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,959
Speaker 6: I want to understand and let them know who I am.

1133
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 6: And you know why I'm running.

1134
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 7: And what I found is the last guy that answered

1135
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 7: his door had a Trump sign out front.

1136
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 6: He answered the door with his daughter.

1137
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 7: He was obviously a wrestler, he had the cauliflower ear,

1138
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 7: and his daughter was a wrestler. He was getting ready

1139
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 7: to take her to a match. And he loves his

1140
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 7: family like most people do, right. They fiercely love their

1141
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 7: kids and they want to do everything that they see

1142
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 7: fit to protect their kids. And so it's all about

1143
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 7: the message that people receive.

1144
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 6: He lived in Omaha, and he got out of Omaha.

1145
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 7: Because he didn't want his daughter going to school where teachers,

1146
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 7: male teachers were dressing as women, you know, and trying

1147
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 7: to tell their kids that they could be anything that

1148
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 7: they want. Now, this didn't happen, but the idea is

1149
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 7: constantly put into their head. Right, so I think, and

1150
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 7: this is who's creating the division in the country. They

1151
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 7: will keep us divided on anything, whether it's a Second

1152
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 7: Amendment or whether it's transgenders or LGBTQ, whatever, the issue

1153
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 7: is that they can divide us with, they'll use it,

1154
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 7: and then they'll keep hounding it.

1155
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 6: So people believe that and that's perception is.

1156
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 7: Reality right instead, though, But those are the very same

1157
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 7: people that want us to stay blind to the fact

1158
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 7: that we're getting robbed right with the consolidation of our industries,

1159
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 7: the monopolies, the billionaires that are carving up the country

1160
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 7: for themselves.

1161
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 6: Those are the ones that want to keep us divided.

1162
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: So I think some of that is true, But we

1163
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: do have a reconcilable differences in the country. A lot

1164
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: of people still vote, you know, based on them. One

1165
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: of them is immigration. I know you've had some different

1166
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: views on the subject. You are from a heavily rural state.

1167
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: You're talking about farm shortages. How do you think about

1168
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: illegal labor? I know you have I think you were

1169
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: against the shutdown. I know Senator Rickards has I criticized

1170
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: you for talking on both sides of your mouth, So, like,

1171
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: what's your definitive immigration policy for the state of Nebraska.

1172
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 7: Well, Congress needs to do something, including Pete Ricketts. We

1173
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 7: need meaningful, humane immigration reform that we haven't seen in

1174
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 7: this country since I've been alive.

1175
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean by that?

1176
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, we know.

1177
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 7: We need more judges, we need more lawyers. We need

1178
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 7: to figure out how the people that are here, that

1179
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 7: are working, that are upstanding members of our community. There

1180
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 7: are friends, there are neighbors. We have to figure out

1181
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 7: a way for them to have a path.

1182
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 6: Right.

1183
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 7: I don't believe in general amnesty, but I do think

1184
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 7: there should be a path to citizenship. And you know,

1185
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 7: we were promised that they were going to come in

1186
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 7: and take the criminal elements out, and that's not what

1187
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 7: we're seeing play out.

1188
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 6: Right.

1189
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 7: I don't think too many people would disagree that if

1190
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 7: you're a violent criminal that you shouldn't be here. But

1191
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 7: you know, the folks that are hard workers that contribute

1192
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 7: to our society by paying taxes. I mean, I think

1193
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 7: two billion dollars undocumented workers paying to Social Security that

1194
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 7: they'll never get out. Those are the kinds of issues

1195
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 7: that we do need immigration reforms. So we need more judges,

1196
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 7: we need more lawyers, and we need better laws to

1197
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 7: help promote What.

1198
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: About in the meat packing industry, Let's see we were

1199
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: just talking about that, for example, heavily reliant to make

1200
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: cases on illegal labor. Sure many may not be criminals,

1201
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: like in terms of violent criminals, but they are violating

1202
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: the law being president here illegally. Do you think that

1203
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: the company should bear some responsibility for that?

1204
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, they're the ones.

1205
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 7: They're the ones benefiting monetarily right, paying them next to nothing, right,

1206
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 7: and enriching themselves. And those are the ones that can

1207
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 7: afford to buy a senator or a house member, and

1208
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 7: I certainly can't. And so I think really the most

1209
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 7: important issue of all of our times, it all kind

1210
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 7: of goes back to campaign finance reform to take the

1211
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 7: ability away from these lobbyists and special interests to control

1212
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 7: our elections and quite frankly control our elected officials. Because

1213
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 7: if you want to work in Nebraska or Texas, Montana, Florida, Ohio,

1214
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 7: it costs one hundred million dollars to run for US Senate,

1215
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 7: that's insane, a billion dollars to run for the US president.

1216
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 6: Like, those are the things that we have to clean up.

1217
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 6: So we have to figure year out of way.

1218
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 7: I mean, I'd love to just end Citizens United, right,

1219
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 7: I know it's harder said than done. But maybe there's

1220
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 7: state laws or something we could do to curtail that,

1221
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 7: or maybe we can make it especially. That's how I

1222
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 7: view my campaign is if we elect somebody who doesn't

1223
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 7: take corporate pack money or a PAC money or anything

1224
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 7: like that, special interest money, if I can't relate it

1225
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 7: back to working people, I don't.

1226
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 6: Want your money.

1227
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 7: So if we could win in a state like Nebraska,

1228
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 7: we could set the tone for future elections that if

1229
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 7: you take this money, this dirty money, and you're going

1230
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 7: to do their bidding, we're not going to vote for you,

1231
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 7: because ultimately, there's a heck of a lot more voters

1232
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,959
Speaker 7: out there than there are billionaires, right, and we.

1233
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 6: Still have the power.

1234
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 7: We just have to take it back and we have

1235
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 7: to cut through the noise and talk about the things

1236
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 7: that are affecting our everyday lives. Like so, I call

1237
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 7: it paycheck populism, right, I get a paycheck every week.

1238
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 7: I know how much comes in, I know how much

1239
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 7: goes out, and I know how much harder it's getting

1240
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 7: to provide for my family these days.

1241
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 2: One thing we focused a lot on this show is

1242
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,479
Speaker 2: overall the AI industry and then the specific flights point

1243
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: of these massive data centers that are being located in

1244
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 2: a lot of rural areas alone, my own talent has

1245
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: seen a number of them being being put in. There's

1246
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: huge issues with regard to land usage, water usage, and

1247
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: with electricity bills going up. And I wonder if you've

1248
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 2: seen any of that in Nebraska, if that's become a

1249
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 2: flashpoint in any sort of way.

1250
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 6: As there's a ton of them.

1251
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 7: There's data centers Google, Facebook, Amazon, you know the AI

1252
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 7: data centers there they go up. Yeah, it provides jobs

1253
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 7: in the short term, you know, to build these structures.

1254
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 6: Especially, it's good for the buildings and trades folks.

1255
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 7: But once these things are up, I think it takes

1256
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 7: like five people to run a data center, and they

1257
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 7: are taking up valuable resources. Nebraska sits on the Ogo

1258
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 7: La La Aquifer, the biggest body of fresh water maybe

1259
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 7: in the world.

1260
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 6: I don't know, we'd have to fact check that one.

1261
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 7: But they are using this resource up because they need

1262
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 7: water to cool their equipment.

1263
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 6: And then what really.

1264
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 7: Makes me mad is my power bill is going to

1265
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 7: go at five percent. That's that's a pretty big chunk

1266
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 7: of change. And we've had the I suppose the pleasure

1267
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 7: of having public power in Nebraska, so our power is

1268
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 7: considerably lower than the rest of the country, but it's

1269
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 7: going to start rising because of these data centers. Meanwhile,

1270
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 7: Jeff bezos Is buys a yacht and he can't sell

1271
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 7: it under a bridge, so he pays to dredge out

1272
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 7: the river or where the bay or wherever that was at,

1273
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 7: and I'm paying for it Like these are extremely profitable

1274
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 7: businesses that should be figuring out a way to pay

1275
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 7: for their own power.

1276

1282

Speaker 7: That's Osbourne without any not related to the ex football coach.

1283
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 2: But that didn't even occur to me, but I'm sure did.

1284
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 6: The money will it will to people in Nebraska.
