But everything 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:58.840 is going up. But since it's just eggs, if I'm struggling, 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.960 I just stop eggs. I don't need that many eggs. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.399 I could go a whole month without eating eggs, and 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.440 pretty you enjoy the humble eggs certainly, Yeah, I like eggs, 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.360 but I don't need it. Eggs now so expensive a 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.840 family of four, it could be. Well, then don't eat eggs, 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.080 eat something else until they come down. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.120 Half as many. It is. 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.679 It is kind of funny, although the price increase is shocking. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.480 If that's a regular part of your diet, no doubt, 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.400 a lot of good stuff to get to today.

Also, the doge boys are are 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.560 ruffling feathers and whipping up angs to but more importantly, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.800 cutting budgets and uncovering all sorts of crap that we 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.760 really ought to know. Unelected bureaucrat wanna be kings gutting 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:59.920 the government. Wow, you people screaming at you're running a 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.360 up that up the flagpole and nobody is saluting. So 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.560 we'll talk about that more later on the hour and 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.200 later on in the show. For show speaking of saluting things, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.960 I just wanted to give a quick shout out to 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.760 Fabulous News Talk fourteen hundred WJMX, the PD's best place 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.440 for talk. Reference to the PD region of South Carolina 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.280 named after the river, which is named after a Native 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.800 American tribe. Anyway, glad to be a board with you, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.480 good folks, and hope you're enjoying the show, and thanks 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.000 for having us on. We broadcast on that station and 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.360 land stolen from the somebody. 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.680 People now shut up. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.400 So speaking of consumer issues as we were a moment ago, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.560 and we didn't want to go super heavy politics this segment, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:45.680 because my god, the. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:48.639 Fire hose of. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.960 Announcements and policies and executive orders and all coming out 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.720 of the Trump administration is mostly great. Guy cornered me 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.320 in the lunch roomya Stane said he thinks it's a strategy. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.480 It's to cover up some of the really ones he 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.880 wants to do because nobody has time to talk about everything. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.560 I don't know if it's a strategy. It's certainly playing 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.239 out that way. But I mean, it's not as if 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.160 he had to invent a bunch of things that he 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.680 and his administration wanted to do. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.840 What else I've only got two goals. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.400 We need to invent a bunch more to give a 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.239 smoke screen for these secretive No, I don't think it's 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.480 like that at all. It's whether it's intentional or not. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.240 That is the way it's playing out. But anyway, one 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.560 of the things that they're looking to do is impose 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.320 additional tariffs on China, which I'm sure you've heard about, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.280 but one thing that might actually hit consumers, especially folks 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.120 like my partner Jack here, who is really into fast fashion. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.480 I mean really into the hottest fashion this week. He's 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.320 got to be wearing it by Thursday. Do you know 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:53.120 Shine and Tamuth. They are these Chinese fashion outlets that 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.880 sell zillions of dollars worth of fast fashion at very 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:03.160 very very low prices to Americans, particularly the women's Anyway, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.840 they are absolutely the beneficiaries of a law known as 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:13.680 the Deminimus Exception to tariffs, which meant until twenty sixteen, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.919 if you're shipping less than two hundred dollars directly to 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.440 an American household, you didn't have to worry about the 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.240 tariffs in reporting and stuff like that. Well, Congress for 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.839 whatever reason raised that number to eight hundred dollars in 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.760 twenty sixteen, and the Chinese economy has gone wild fulfilling 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.839 our needs for super cheap Chinese crap really really fast, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.120 and they don't have to pay tariffs on it, but 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:43.800 it's become an enormous amount of goods and potential tariff 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:50.520 revenue lost. In twenty twenty three, there were six hundred 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.400 and thirty seven million of these shipments, six hundred and 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.640 thirty seven million the next year, last year, one. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.000 Point three billion. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.599 It means mortan doubled in a year and the amount 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.200 of money is again breathtaking. So the Trump administration is 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.400 trying to claw back that whole demnimus thing. So order 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.440 your what Cardi B Was learning wearing last week as 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:18.160 quickly as you can. Different story particular interest to the 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.280 folks in LA and those who just depend on the 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:26.359 government to save their hide. In Altadena, California, where most 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:31.080 of the deaths from the terrible wildfires occurred, half of 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.920 the city got the warnings that fire was sweeping down 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.039 upon their homes, and half didn't. You're on the west 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.440 side of Lake Street, you did not get the alerts. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.800 You're on the east side, you got the alerts. Nobody's 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:48.760 quite sure why they had multiple overlapping systems and everything failed. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:50.359 Just shocking. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.560 If you want to learn more about it, The Wall 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.240 Street Journal has some really good coverage on that today. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:06:00.920 But it's it's crazy and it's scary. So many people 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.280 who were a few blocks away. I mean literally, it's 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.600 a five minute walk from where people were getting text alerts, 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.520 phone alerts, you know, to do everything that is built 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.400 by the government to alert people that there's a cataclysm. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.000 They were getting it three blocks away over there. People 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.719 were going to bed at night thinking glad, it's not 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.400 so bad because we haven't heard anything. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.600 Wow, that's interesting. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.120 I know, I know, it's crazy, and they're trying to 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.840 figure out why. Of course, moving along, you to think 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.040 I'm making this up, and I wish I were clever 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.680 enough to be making this up. The murder of a 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.880 US border patrol agent near the Canadian border appears to 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:44.279 be linked to a radical leftist trans militant cult accused 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:45.960 of killings across the country. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.480 Now you're using trans is in like transnational or trans 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.039 is in different tansexual. 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:57.920 Broka, Yeah, yeah, the case of the radical Zizian Vegan 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:03.839 transgender cult. Around a week before the January twenty attack 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.800 on this poor border patroller agent, God bless him, a 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.800 young man with his life in front of the federal 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:15.120 law enforcement, had been surveilling German national Felix Ophelia Bachhault 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:20.720 and University of Washington student Teresa Milo Consuelo Young Blitt. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.760 Staff at a Vermont hotel alerted authorities about seeing the 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.920 duo with a firearm and black tactical clothing. Law enforcement 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.760 visited them, then they trailed them. They opened fire on 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:38.840 the border patrol people and killed a young man. Crazy terrible, Yeah, yeah, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880 But authorities now say the guns used by these two 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.200 loser nut jobs scumbags are owned by a person of 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.120 interest in other murders and connected to a mysterious cult 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.680 of transgender quote unquote geniuses who follow a trans leader 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:58.080 named Jack Lesotto, also known by the alias Ziz. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.880 Believe it or not, this guy's. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.000 An a ward winning youth math genius from Freiburg, Germany. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:09.240 Who later graduated from university in Canada. Wow, a cult. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:11.520 You know. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.960 We used to say semi regularly on the show that 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:19.360 they're inventing a new brand of crazy every day. This 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:27.800 is really crazy crazy, and it's you know, it is 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.280 worth noting, For instance, I mentioned earlier that fifteen percent 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.080 of federal inmates in women's prisons are dudes. Fifteen percent 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.520 because under the Biden administration, all you have to do 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.679 is say, I'm a chick and okay, I guess you 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.480 got to go to the women's prison. So fifteen percent 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.800 are our dudes who quote unquote claim to be women. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.800 And those guys I just think are self interested and smart. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.360 I'd rather be in the women's prison too. Number one 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.520 is a straight guy. It'd be nice to be around gals. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.800 Number two, I'm much more likely to survive anyway. But 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.920 apart from those people, if you are a dude presenting 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.680 as a woman and living like that and calling yourself 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.600 a name and insisting on some bizarre pronouns, you're a 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.760 disturbed person. And you see a lot of the militant 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.080 trans people just screeching, spit flying out of their mouths, 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.240 attacking any woman who thinks locker rooms how to not 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.479 have dudes in them. You're dealing with a pretty disturbed population. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.240 Let me throw out something to Hanson, our executive producer, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.120 forget because I forgot to ask for this earlier. I 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.680 was just watching CBS News and to their credit, they're 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.600 covering this story. CBS News is where sixty minutes is 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:48.640 sixty Minutes being sued by Donald Trump. Forced to release 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.120 the full transcript. The full interview that they did with 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.360 Kamala Harris in the run up to the election. Now, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.120 I haven't listened to it, but I was reading some 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.959 of the reports on it. Her answer on Israel, I 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.280 think was the question was like ten times as long 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.240 as the clip that they played on the interview, just 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.320 way more wordy, rambling Kamala Air's style. And if you 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.760 could grab that, Hanson, just that particular answer, I know, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.080 it's floating around in social media a lot to an 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.760 example of what they what she actually said versus what 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.560 sixty minutes showed us. CBS is saying they did not 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:32.600 change the you know, the actual content of what she said. Hmmm. True, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.360 But the fact that she rambles like crazy to say 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.400 one thing is important. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.160 Yeah. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.960 The idea that she's a half wit who can't form 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.280 a coherence sentence was an actual campaign issue right on 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.480 the other hand, And I hate to defend sixty minutes. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.559 I rarely do. Man, you're interviewing somebody and they unleash just. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.920 A long, dull, stupid word salad, and you've got a 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.520 limited amount of time to er it. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:10:59.959 I don't know. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.160 If you're a news organization and one of the biggest 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.840 knocks on the candidate. Is they unleash long crazy word salads. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.520 You gotta ride that in. That's the news story. I'm 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:14.240 not gonna say you're wrong. So more tocom And this 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:20.760 makes me just breaks my heart. The absolutely idiotic self 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.480 declouting trends. Sexual movie that Hollywood was so proud of, 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.600 that's now just getting murdered all over the place. Another 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.240 hit is landed. Oh no, oh no.

Yes, Jack, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.040 the brilliant Amelia Perez, which Hollywood was so proud of 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.760 the second most or damn near the most Oscar nominations 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.559 of any movie ever, tied for the most Oscar nominations 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.480 of all time. This trans movie that everybody hates. Oh yeah, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.520 it's just a joke. We've done so many segments on it. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.079 I wish we could repeat it all because it's so 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.120 much fun. Well, Netflix is taking the extraordinary step of 0:12:55.200 --> 0:13:01.880 removing Best Actress Oscar nominee Carlos Sophia Gascone Fode from 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:06.880 its Academy Awards campaign after comments surfaced from the transgender 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:11.360 performer about George Floyd being a hustler and a drug addict, 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.800 and Muslims and then black and Asian actors and. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.040 Up with Hitler and all sorts of crap. Dang it, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.160 this is ruining my fun. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.600 I was really looking forward to the Oscars going way 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.880 too far and finally ending their relevance completely by going 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.520 full up with trans for three hours on Oscar Night. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:28.480 But this is going to ruin it. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.000 We had them teed up like a golf ball and 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.080 we're gonna give him a good hard whacking. And they 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.920 they've they've they were so just egregiously ridiculous that that 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.880 you know that their cover was blown, Our cover was blown. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.320 We'll dig up that Kamala Harris sixty minutes interview now 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.840 that they transcripted out Trump's soon him for ten billion 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.800 dollars among other things. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.640 On the way, stay here, Mama BLESTI shio blest, no blessing. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.720 So the final note for now on the Amelia Perez movie, 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.280 because we ran out of time in the last segments. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.599 Netflix is taking the extraordinary step of removing this transgender 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.320 actor from the Academy Awards campaign because the studio spend 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.120 a tremendous amount of money on this sort of thing. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:19.840 Rumor is they'd already poured thirty million dollars promoting this 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.000 movie just to get oscars for it, And a number 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.440 of people are asking, how did you not like get 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.760 into this person's old tweets before he spends thirty million 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.720 dollars to promote him her I was getting an Oscar. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.400 I would prefer to look at the other way. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.240 I go to a movie, I don't really freaking care 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.760 what the background is of the person up on the 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.600 screen playing the cowboy or the clerk or whatever, or 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.560 what they tweeted about whatever at some point in their life. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.160 But do I like the movie or not? So why 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.840 would you look into anybody's background ever about what they said? 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.680 Who cares? Would be my preferred way to look at it. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.520 And can we, as the other side of that coin, 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.960 just have them not tell us what they think about 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.640 any issues? Right? Right? 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.760 Right? I'm sure from the Oscar stage, you know, since 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.080 this is. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.960 A modern phenomenon knowing what people think about their politics, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.080 I'm sure if you go back throughout history, whether it's 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.720 your you know, your favorite paintings or books or music 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.080 or some of your favorite composers, you know probably had 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:20.960 abhorrent views on. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:21.720 All kinds of things. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:22.200 We just do. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.760 We didn't think about it back then. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.200 Either liked the music or you don't, all right, And 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.560 that's the beauty of not caring what they think. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.160 Is if they think something of horrent, as long as they. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.840 Are not like Bruce Springsteen, obnoxious about it, I just 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:37.520 ignore it. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:38.640 But you you had that. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.800 I think it was a text or email the other 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.760 day from somebody who knows how the Grammys work, and 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.320 I'm sure the Oscars is similar. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:44.920 Oh yeah. 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.440 Everybody should be aware of the way these awards shows work. 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.800 That whether it's the tens of millions of dollars that 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:56.080 they spend on campaigning to get the right number of votes, 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.400 or in the Grammys example, you used where you trade 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.160 around votes for best album to get votes for this 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.760 from a different category, or maybe next year you help 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.760 me out if I help you this year, or whatever, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.800 as opposed to I'm just going to sit here, listen 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.680 to the albums and determine which one I think is 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:12.080 the best. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.360 Oh no, please, no, no, it's also training. Well, even 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.200 if that was all it's going on, it's crazy. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.840 I mean, the idea of a bunch of people sitting 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.960 down and listening to eight different albums of completely different 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:28.120 kinds of music and determining that one's the best is insane. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:29.440 Right right. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.760 I can't stand awards for art early. I don't mind 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.720 the ten best that sort of thing. You know, it's 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.840 an opinion and you dig into it and you think, wow, 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.760 I really do like that album. Cool, I'll listen to 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.640 it some more. Okay, picking the best is just so 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.520 silly to got it as good a version of that 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.200 as you can get. Somebody put out a list yesterday 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.560 of the fifty greatest movies of all time, based on 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:56.480 all of the current favorite internet ways of rating movies. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.880 Rotten Tomatoes and a whole bunch of IMBD and all 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.880 these different things. Pile all the scores, and what are 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:03.560 the best movies? I'll hit you with the top ten 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.119 a little bit later. I thought it was an interesting 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.919 conversation starter, and I don't mind reserving a few slots 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.280 for like artsy stuff that pop audiences don't get, because 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.040 that's you know, that's a thing. Uh, but yeah, I 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.760 love that better than asking one guy. Everybody sleeps, and 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.200 lots of people have trouble with sleeping. We got a 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.360 ton of great text recommendations or thoughts on the whole 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.280 sleeping thing, so maybe we'll get to that a little 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.480 bit later too, And some really interesting perspectives about Trump's 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.800 insane idea of the US taking over Gaza. Did he 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:35.200 mean it? 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:36.240 Did he not mean it? 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:37.240 Yes? 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.840 Not even really the important question what did he mean 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.320 by saying it? What was he going for? And what 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.400 has the result been so far? Really interesting? 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.159 How soon can I go to a rafa casino with 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.159 Trump on gold letters up on top. Well, as you know, 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.760 I've already put in my deposit for surfing lessons there 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.760 at Gaza, So I'm excited. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.920 Muhammad, don't serve.

Elon Musk is seizing the power 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.280 that belongs to the American people. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:21.240 We are here to fight back. Anytime a person get 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.480 paid two hundred and fifty million dollars into a campaign 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.160 and they've been given access for access to the Department 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.280 of Treasury of the United States of America. 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.160 We are more. 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.560 I am gonna stand with you in this fight and 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.920 we will win were we well. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:48.439 Win, we will win.

I hope they're jeez, I hope 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.320 they're wrong. 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:13.080 Right. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:15.840 But it's interesting. 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.240 There's a fair amount of language, as you heard there, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:20.800 and I've heard in a lot of other clips of 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:21.480 we are at. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.520 War, take to the streets. 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.760 Sounds a lot like the stuff Donald Trump said on 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.159 January sixth that you know, was being claimed to have 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:35.080 started an insurrection, were or anybody said to be peaceful 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:39.920 and patriotic there either, by the way, Yeah, just and 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.800 I've read a number of reasonable Democrats, some of like 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.879 the axel Rod generations, some more modern guys, you're moderate 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.720 kind of classic Democrats saying, hey, we've got to have 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:53.359 a message, and. 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.200 It can't be Trump is the devil. 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.200 We've tried that for a very long time, and he 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.800 didn't mean we ought to go with on Musk is 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.280 the devil. So I mean, that's you know that there's 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.080 an old saying among lawyers. If the law is on 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.359 your side, pound on the law. If the facts are 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.879 on your side, pound on the facts. If neither is 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.639 on your side, pound on the table. Well there you 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.200 heard a bunch, and we've got multiple montages of that 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.440 sort of Democrats screeching into microphones that Elon Musk and 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:22.720 Donald Trump are trying to. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.080 Something something blah blah blah.
