Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

Speaker 2: A man accused of fire bombing a peaceful Jewish demonstration

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: in Colorado facing a judge, Ahamed Sabri Solomon.

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: He's now formally.

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: Charged with one hundred and eighteen crimes, including twenty eight

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: counts of attempted murder. A federal judge temporarily blocking efforts

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: to deport the entire family until they get a hearing

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: next week.

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: I heard somebody say yesterday that they think it's too

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: bad that the term Molotov cocktail caught on because it

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: sounds too like fun, like a child's toy, as opposed

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: to what it is. Maybe it's just because I've read

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: enough war stuff that I I don't look at it

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: that way.

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does sound kind of clever. It's a fire bomb,

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: it's setting people on fire.

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a it's.

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 5: A weapon of death and torture.

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: And you're right, and you could make one this afternoon

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: easily at home, which is one of the great one

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: of the reasons it's such a great invention for the

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: terrorist or the you know, low funded insurgency.

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 5: Right, exactly.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the term Molotov cocktail is a wry, sarcastic joke

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: created by people who are in life or death struggles.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: It's like, if familiar with cops sense as of humor,

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 4: it's pretty dark.

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's an interesting point.

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: Uh So, I sort of pride myself in being able

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: to combine several different stories into a little feature atte

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: and bring you various aspects of a bigger story. I'm

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: struggling with this one because there are several elements to

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: this and they're all so important. It has to do

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: with Islamism, speaking of the would be Islamic supremacist or

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: a pro Palestinian activist or anti Semite monster.

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 5: However you want to describe this.

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: Guy in Boulder, Colorado who set fire to a bunch

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: of Jews and old people in well, Americans, he said

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: fire to a bunch of Americans. I was doing some

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: research earlier to remind myself of some great examples of

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: the alliance between elements of the far left and Islamists

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: through you know, the last seventy five one hundred years

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: or so, and there are a lot of different examples

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: of it, and the main point being, wait a minute,

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: you want to tear down the West. I want to

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: tear down the West. Maybe we can work together. And

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: then each side thinks, once the tearing down of the

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: West occurs, we'll just get rid of those lunatics and

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: we'll be in charge. And if you're in you know,

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 4: in World War Two, the Islamists ended up on the

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: short end of the stick. But if you were a

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: Marxist in Iran who helped overthrow the Shah, the Iyatolas

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 4: got got the power and ended up hanging and disappearing

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: the Marxists.

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 5: But it's an old, old.

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: Thing, and nobody ever wants to talk about it, especially

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: in the mainstream media because they're so uncomfortable telling the

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: truth about uncomfortable things. But yeah, the college kids demonstrating

61
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: in favor of the Palestinians and screaming about how Israel

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: is a colonial press or state or whatever the hell,

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: that's the nexus between, you know, the neo Marxists and

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: the Islamists that you're watching it play out in real time.

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: How the hell can there be some angry twenty year

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: old woman with purple hair screaming queers for Palestine.

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so absurd, it's hilarious.

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: But that's it.

69
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: That's that nexus. Anyway.

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: Maybe more on that another time, but there are a

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: bunch of stories on that topic, like did you follow

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: Jack the Washington Post Israel kill over thirty gozens of

73
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: the Humanitarian Aid site covers.

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: And that they then apologized for it.

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: Oh boy, you skipped from And then the death star

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: exploded the galaxy far far away than the staring.

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: Out Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 5: Well what spoiler alert?

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 4: So what happened was the Washington Post published this story

80
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: blaming Israel for killing over thirty gozzins, and then it

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: very notably significantly edited this story but did not issue

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 4: a correction or explanation, which is kind of the rule

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: if you're a news organization, If you completely alter the

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: facts in a story, you have to own it and

85
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: explain why. They didn't for days until the howling got

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: too loud and they finally put out a mealy mouthed

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: the statement. Earlier versions of the article on Sunday stated

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: that Israeli troops killed more than thirty feetple near a

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: US eight site with the headline attributing the action to

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: health officials. In a correction no blah blah, the article

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: failed to make clear if attributing the death to Israel

92
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: was the position of the Gaza Health Ministry or a

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: fact verified by the Post.

94
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah was updated.

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, nice job taking the word of the Gaza Health

96
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: Ministry and running with the story. I mean, that's just

97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: I don't.

98
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: And gave no weight in fact, pretended as if the IDF,

99
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 4: the Israeli Defense Forces hadn't said anything about it. It

100
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: was it was as if, you know, the Muslim Brotherhood

101
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: had their own newspapers.

102
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, the Washington that is worth pointing out because

103
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: NPR does this all the time. They'll quote something will happen,

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: then they'll quote the Gaza Health Ministry. They don't quote Israel.

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: Israel always makes a statement to always. Of course they

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: do all the freaking time. They're not gonna let you know,

107
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of people die at the where they're

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: handing out the food and just let headlines run wild

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: around the world.

110
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: They make a stake. But NPR, Washington Post other news outlets.

111
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: Act like, well, the only people we've heard from is

112
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: the God, the help God, the health Ministry.

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: And they never lie.

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: Isa.

115
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's embarrassingly bad journalism. Yeah, yeah it is,

116
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: but it's it's not journalism, it's the thing. It's it's

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: advocacy for a radical UH philosophy, Mass creating his journalism.

118
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: Moving along to Eli Lake's fabulous piece for the Free Press,

119
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 4: who profits from Gaza's desperation, and he goes into the

120
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 4: aid distribution debacle. There have been a number of deaths

121
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: and shootings and chaos, and as a US backed charity

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: has taken over aid distribution from the UN because Hamas

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: was stealing all the UN food and selling it at

124
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: high profits to the Palestinians.

125
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: I was watching some videos of that the other day

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: and thinking, you know, if you, if you can can

127
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: get away from the how this all occurred and what

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: brought all these circumstances together, and the complications there and

129
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: everything like that, just being a human being in that area,

130
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: you and your family, Starvin trying to literally fight for

131
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: a box of rice or something. I just I can't

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: imagine how awful that would be.

133
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that is hell, That is hell.

134
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: I would argue it's the inevitable result of an Islamist,

135
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: militant Islamist government declaring war on its neighbor, but it

136
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: is horrible. So the headline of Eli lakes story is

137
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: who profits from Gaza's desperation, and he talks about how

138
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: Israel's currently rolling out a new process for disturbing the aid.

139
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: If it's successful, it will bypass Amas completely. This should

140
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: be a shared goal for everyone but the terrorists. And

141
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: yet the coverage of the new aid distribution system has

142
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: been dominated by scandal mongering. And he makes the greater

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: point that if the good things that people are trying

144
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: to do work in Gaza, it's a death sentence for Hamas.

145
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: And the idea that the Israelis are trying to decimate

146
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: the new aid program, which they.

147
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Have backed and it's not Hamas.

148
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: Doing it is absurd.

149
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: Hamas is desperate to derail list desperate, and anybody who

150
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: thinks about it for five minutes can figure that out.

151
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: But the mainstream US media, which are a bunch of

152
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: Columbia grad school would be Marxists, are reporting the opposite. Again,

153
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: we don't have time to go into detail. I'm just

154
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: gonna hit a couple more headlines and maybe tease the

155
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: fact that we'll get into them in a significant way.

156
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: Congress is nearing a move to designate the Muslim Brotherhood

157
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: a terrorist organization. Our Congress, keep that in mind when

158
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 4: I hit you with this headline.

159
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we hadn't already. I thought we had.

160
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: I know, I know. And this is by a writer.

161
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 5: It's a terrific piece. It's long. I wish I could

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: read you the whole thing.

163
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: How opis the Egyptians consider the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

164
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 5: So does Jordan and the UAE and several others.

165
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, how the Muslim Brotherhood is capturing Europe.

166
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: And I'm just going to hit you with a little

167
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: bit of this.

168
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: And if you read Holliback was that his name, the

169
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: guy who wrote Submission novel, It got a tremendous amount

170
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 4: of attention, what like five years ago or so, is

171
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: about how France becomes a Muslim country, not like a

172
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: country with Muslims, but like Iran.

173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: And it's a very believable scenario. Yeah.

174
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 4: The scary part of it is how mundane a lot

175
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: of it is. It's just kind of the slow movement

176
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: of politics and pressure and money and the rest of it.

177
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: It's also got some very vivid explicit sex scenes in

178
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: that book, so I don't want you to be caught

179
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 3: unaware if you're horrified by that sort of thing.

180
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 5: Helped the jazz it up a little bit.

181
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 4: So anyway, this woman Simone raw Don Benzaquin Benzequin, who

182
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 4: I've never heard of before, but she's a terrific writer.

183
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: France didn't I'm going to read this for just a minute.

184
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 4: France didn't plan to blow the whistle on the Muslim

185
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: Brotherhood's attempt to take over Europe.

186
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: But that's exactly what it did.

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago when a classified report from

188
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: the Ministry of the Interior leaked to the newspaper Le Figaro,

189
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: which is a big newspaper. Funny Jack is an aside.

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: Have you heard about that leak? No nobody has. US

191
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: media has held it at the end of a ten

192
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: foot pole, big leak of a confidential report. The seventy

193
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: three page document marked Confidential Defense, was meant for top

194
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 4: officials only. Based on intelligence files, field investigations, and dozens

195
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: of interviews, it laid out a stark diagnosis the Muslim

196
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: Brotherhood has built an extensive ideological infrastructure in France, not

197
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: through violence, but through schools, charities, mosques and soft power.

198
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: It states quote the Brotherhood's strategy is to install a

199
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 4: form of ideological hegemony by infiltrating civil society under the

200
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: guise of religious and educational activities. It's the most detailed

201
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: governmental study to date of the Brotherhood's present in presence

202
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: in Europe. Its conclusion is blunt. The Brotherhood operates as

203
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: a political project. Is Its goal is not sudden revolution

204
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 4: but gradual transformation. Its targets our hearts and minds. It

205
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: strength lies not in secrecy, but in strategic ambiguity. And

206
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: it is not coming just for France, It is coming

207
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: for all of the West, our allies. The French just

208
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: put out a confidential report saying the Muslim Brotherhood is

209
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 4: trying to conquer the West, and we slumber.

210
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: Here in the US thinking our oceans will.

211
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: Protect us and talk about Twitter feuds, speaking of which, well,

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: it's a damn good Twitter feud.

213
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're going to be distracted, be distracted

214
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: by something entertaining.

215
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, Donald and Elon are shinned deep in

216
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: urine after their whizzing match yesterday and it continue overnight

217
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 3: in today, colorful yet unnecessarily graphic.

218
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: More of not coming up stated.

219
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 6: Forty new study from the American Medical Association, use of

220
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 6: cannabis among senior citizens increased forty six percent over two years.

221
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: And you've thought old people drove slow.

222
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: Before coming up, we'll get into a little of the

223
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: elon Trump feud where it is and and some of

224
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: the commentary around it, which I find kind of entertaining.

225
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: This is kind of heavy, but damned interesting. I didn't

226
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: know there was a new documentary out about Billy Joel.

227
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Is that just a coincidence that there's a documentary out

228
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: when he announced he's got this horrible brain condition and

229
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: he had to cancel our his tour. It's called a

230
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: Billy Joel and so it goes, which I was just

231
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: reading the other day. He thinks that's the best song

232
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: he ever wrote. That's a heavy song. Speaking of heavy,

233
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: I don't know it.

234
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow?

235
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: Really okay, you got to check that that That is

236
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: his most powerful heartbreak song of all time?

237
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it is. It is absolutely something.

238
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 5: Anyway, I liked Uptown Girl. I thought that was a

239
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 5: great song.

240
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: He earned his powerful emotions in some songs by being

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: a certain sort of guy. You find out in the documentary,

242
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: and I've been all I was a Billy Joel freak

243
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: in high school. And I think I wrote a paper

244
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: about him once. Didn't know any of this stuff. He

245
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: tried to kill himself twice in his twenties. Oh wow,

246
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: like really tried to kill himself twice in his twenties,

247
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: which I'll get to in a second. He had a

248
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: music act with another dude. They were living together. The

249
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 3: other dude was married. Billy Joel falls in love with

250
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: his best friend and music partner's wife ends up having an.

251
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Affair with her.

252
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: Dude punches him in the nose, which Billy Joel says

253
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: was perfectly appropriate.

254
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,479
Speaker 1: They had a kid. I was a homewrecker.

255
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 3: I felt so bad about it that I just so

256
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: horrible about myself that I tried to kill myself twice.

257
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: He was.

258
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: He got kicked out of that house obviously, you know

259
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 3: they don't stay there once you start doing that. And

260
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: he was sleeping in laundromats, and he said he was

261
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: almost psychotic. He was so sad and crazed at the time.

262
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: His sister gave him a bottle of sleeping pills to

263
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: help him sleep. He took the mall. He ended up

264
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: in a coma for many days in the hospital. I

265
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: didn't know Billy Joel was in a coma in the

266
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: hospital for days, trying to kill himself. Then when he

267
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: got out, he tried to kill himself a second time,

268
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: drinking an entire bottle of lemon pledge.

269
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: Sing us a song, You're the piano man, drank.

270
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: An entire bottle of lemon pledge, ended up in the

271
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: hospital again with great fresh breath.

272
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: And a shine.

273
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: This is a man in despair trying to end his

274
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: own life. I apologize.

275
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: He got rid of that hazy tabletop. Look beautiful, shine,

276
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: you can see a reflection in it.

277
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so.

278
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: He earned some of his you know, like a lot

279
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: of artists. Yeah, I'll probably watch that documentary.

280
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Whoo, that's heavy.

281
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 7: How did he keep that? Being as big as he is,

282
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 7: how did he keep that part of his life a

283
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 7: secret all these years? Usually you know this stuff about

284
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 7: the big giant stars.

285
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: Well, right, was the gossip press just not quite as

286
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: well developed?

287
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: Or I guess dude and his wife didn't go to

288
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: the press with it. And good for them, you know,

289
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: they didn't write a tell all book My years with

290
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: Billy Joel the Homewrecker.

291
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't.

292
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: They didn't try to profit from it, and his sister

293
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: didn't either, apparently, because that's what it usually takes is

294
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: for stuff like this to come out.

295
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Is somebody needs a few bucks and they go to

296
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: You're right, those those kind of books are just disgusted me.

297
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: You go to a bookstore, there's always tons of them,

298
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: whether it's about politicians or athletes or movie stars, singers

299
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: or whatever. You know, you slept with him for a

300
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, and now I want to tell your

301
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: story and make money off of it whatever.

302
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Disgusting.

303
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 5: Hm, I must not go to that section of the

304
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 5: bookstore or something. Uh.

305
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, they're always they're always prominently displayed. Maybe they sell well,

306
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

307
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

308
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Uh so Elon and Trump, where are we on that?

309
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: So I woke up this morning to the Politico headline

310
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: that Trump and Elon both had calmed down, become grown

311
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: ups and they were gonna have a phone call today.

312
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's completely over fake news.

313
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: I don't know where political Well, Trump told Politico that

314
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what point he changed his mind, because

315
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: then he told CNN and then the Washington Post later

316
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: that no, I'm not talking to Elon and I'm moving

317
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: on and care about the bill, and he's gonna get

318
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: rid of his tesla has read tesla, according to uh

319
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: mirork Post, and Elon's got some things. Is Elon continuing

320
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: late into the night last night to link Epstein's stories

321
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: with Trump in them to who is two hundred and

322
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: twenty million follow words?

323
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: For some reason. I don't know what he thinks he's

324
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: going to get there.

325
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: Well, I've been following the minute by minute updates on

326
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 4: the feud. I have some recent developments for you. Ted

327
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 4: Cruz has weighed in wrong.

328
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 8: And you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV

329
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 8: mandate and you know, which was a lot of money

330
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 8: for electric vehicles and you know they're having a hard

331
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 8: time the electric vehicles and they want us to pay

332
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 8: billions of dollars in subsidy. And you know, I Elon

333
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 8: knew this from the beginning. He knew it for a

334
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 8: long time ago. That's been in there. That's been I

335
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 8: would say, j D. That hasn't changed. That's been right

336
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 8: from the beginning.

337
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: Mister.

338
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 8: I think mister secretary, that hasn't changed it all right

339
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 8: from the beginning.

340
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: You know, just this and aside before we get into

341
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: the ongoing Hatfields and McCoy's battle between Trump and Elon

342
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: Musk read a great piece about how GM has been

343
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: whip sawd as administrations come and go on like massive policies,

344
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 4: and how their CEO has to come out and say,

345
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 4: we embrace the new ev revolutionists.

346
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: It will lead us to a brighter future.

347
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 4: And then you know, as soon as Biden's out office,

348
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 4: thank god that hiad is over. Hey, let's guess up

349
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 4: America and kick some ass.

350
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 5: Just it's just not good.

351
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 3: I know, somebody who's at a high level in one

352
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: of the other very famous American automobile manufacturers found on

353
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: road dead Fixer repaired daily. I drive lots of words,

354
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: but yeah, they said, yeah, So they tell us, we

355
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: got to build all these electric charge stations on our lot.

356
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: So we're going to spend millions of dollars on that

357
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: when there's a good chance that nobody wants the cars,

358
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: nobody's buying them, nobody's biting the Ford lightning. We've done

359
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: the story before from Wall Street Journal about how many

360
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: gazillions of dollars they've lost on all of these things,

361
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: doing it because the government tells them, and then the

362
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: next administration comes along is no, no, we ain't doing this.

363
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: Nobody wants them. And Trump said that yesterday about Elon.

364
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: We're taking out the uh, the subsidies for the.

365
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Electric cars because people don't want them.

366
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: Just crew right, right. But Elon and Giant Corporation and

367
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 4: shareholders had, you know, planned their business future based on

368
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: government policy, which has now changed completely. And that's just

369
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 4: not the way a market ought to operate. But that's

370
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: kind of an aside to the clown show, which is

371
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: the Musk Trump feud.

372
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 9: Who signed time for the clowns and the acrobats and

373
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 9: the dancing palo whatever?

374
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 4: Whose side are you on? When I wanted that clip?

375
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: But forget it.

376
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: You got to pick a side.

377
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: From the way I understand it, You're either on Elon

378
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 3: side or Trump side. That's the only way you can

379
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: do it. There's no nuance, there's no this but that

380
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: you pick a side. This is the United States of

381
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: America looking around for a coin. I don't carry coins.

382
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: Let's see, how about I'll twist the pen if the

383
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: pen point toward me. It's Trump, it's a way, it's musk.

384
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: Oh shoot, I just threw the pen on myself. I

385
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: line side's about the way you'd have to do it.

386
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: Jack.

387
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: I'm on the side of America. The reason I asked

388
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: for the Ted Cruz clip, which I said I would cue,

389
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: is that I'm following the minute by minute updates on

390
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: a couple of different publications and frankly, they're now milking.

391
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 5: This and because it's not not much as happening, but.

392
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz has entered the fray Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz.

393
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 9: The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the

394
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 9: dancing bears has passed.

395
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: Is this part of the delicious scandal? Milk?

396
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: The problem with Ted Cruz is that saying that is

397
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 4: he he is one of the acrobatic clown bears, which

398
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: is weird because if you meet Ted in person, he

399
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: is a very sincere, down to earth.

400
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: Guy from serious person. But now he is a bear

401
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: doing summer resaults on a tight wire.

402
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: Hyah.

403
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 4: It's a guy who recognized, okay, showmanship in hyperbole is

404
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 4: the way to get head these days.

405
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: But that's not his game, that's not his groove. Anyway.

406
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: Ah, but he said, he said, let's hug and makeup.

407
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 4: He said on his podcast Friday that he was in

408
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: the Oval Office with President Trump while the fight with

409
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 4: Elon Musk was unfolding, and that the President was pissed

410
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: in that moment, but he said the country would be

411
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: better off if Trump and Musk reconciled.

412
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: Quote.

413
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: I think a lot of conservatives are feeling like this

414
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: is not good. Let's hug and make up. He added

415
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: that both Musk and Trump are right about the budget bill.

416
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: The country needs for it to pass, but it can

417
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: be made better.

418
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 5: Wow. How about that?

419
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 3: So I said this earlier, and you gave me your

420
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: squinty look, like I know if I believe you're muttering

421
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: squinty look when tweeted out yesterday. Without me, Trump would

422
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: have lost the election, Dems would control the House, Republicans

423
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 3: would be fifty one to forty nine per centate. I

424
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: believe that you don't think that's true. You think Trump

425
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: would have won without.

426
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: Elon in the three hundred million dollars, I.

427
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 4: Think it's it's impossible to say that with any certainty.

428
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it helped a lot.

429
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 3: It sure made a big difference to me, like, God,

430
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 3: do we'd want to do this again? Sort of you know,

431
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: Trump supporter and Elon being so hardcore about you know,

432
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: doge over and over and over again in fiscal responsibility.

433
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: Sure brought me along. I don't know how many other

434
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: people it did.

435
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think you're right in principle one hundred percent.

436
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: I'm just very cynical about the whole this is what

437
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: won the election thing, because that's crap most of the time.

438
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, it was, it was, it was significant, hundred percent.

439
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: The Nazi salute brought all the Nazis into the party.

440
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: Oh that was valuable. Yep, yep, yep, yep.

441
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 4: New York Times you reported on Cory Booker's Nazi salute.

442
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: Yet no, I didn't think so.

443
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: So Steve Bannon, who helped Trump get elected, say this

444
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 3: morning on one of the gazillion podcasts that exist that

445
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: Trump should sign an executive order and sees SpaceX tonight

446
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: before midnight. Wow, the government's gonna seize the most successful

447
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: rocket company in world history, just at a butt hurtness.

448
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Bannon, he just he wants to tear

449
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 4: the whole thing down. He's he's a Marxist, he says himself.

450
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: He's a weird sort of Marxist, but he just wants

451
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: to tear it down and start again. The only other

452
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 4: headline update really anything happening is that Tesla stock has

453
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: turned around. It had lost fourteen percent yesterday.

454
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a hell of a lot of mine.

455
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: And why do you think that was?

456
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 3: Just because I theres a lot of people have been

457
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: making these jokes about how you know liberals are out

458
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: there trying to scrape there. I bought this car before

459
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: Elon became a Nazi. Bumper stickers off their Tesla now, right,

460
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: and you know put on I'm with Elon bumper sticker

461
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: back on it or something.

462
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 5: Like that, right.

463
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: So why did that hurt Tesla's stock, that Elon turned

464
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: against Trump?

465
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: I think because of the enormous regulatory power of the

466
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: federal government, regulatory slash, subsidies, the rest of it. Because

467
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 4: the government has way, way, way too much power over

468
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: the economy. So you've been quoting this Constantine kiss in person, yeah,

469
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: a couple of times lately.

470
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: And he tweeted this out. Yes, this is where I

471
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: am on the whole thing. What Elon Musk is doing

472
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: is genuinely heroic. He will win no friends in politics

473
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: and will be ostracized by the current administration, but he

474
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: is totally right. We the entire Western world, simply cannot

475
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: go on pretending our way of life is sustainable. Historically,

476
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 3: countries build up surpluses in peacetime and then go into

477
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: debt to fight wars. We're going into more and more

478
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: debt during peacetime. Clever economists will tell you this is sustainable.

479
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 3: It is not, and someone has to do something about it.

480
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: I only want to add, also, you will go into

481
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 4: debt during times of recession and depression, but during times

482
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 4: of economic growth you replenish the reserves and actually build surpluses.

483
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: We're doing the opposite of that as well. It's suicidal.

484
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: My only response to that, you know, somewhat negative, is

485
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: that if Elon could have done it without being such

486
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 4: an a hole, it would have been really helpful to

487
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 4: the cause.

488
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: You mean, while he was just running dog or yesterday,

489
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: no yesterday.

490
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry, in the whole run of him criticizing

491
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 4: the ugly abomination or whatever it was, the horrific See

492
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: if they but.

493
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: Got the guy's short on sleep, he's got thirteen kids.

494
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: He's changing diapers, he's teaching it how to ride a bike.

495
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: He's helping somebody with their finals the last week of school.

496
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 3: He's got another kid headed off to college, trying to

497
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: get to Mars Burpen. One kid told one of his

498
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 3: girlfriend's baby, mama's can side pieces can get a night's

499
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: sleep while he's taking.

500
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 4: Our transgender kid who hates him tiring.

501
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: That would be that lifestyle.

502
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 5: That's a good point.

503
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I feel like the missing piece of

504
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: this whole story all ever since last week when he

505
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: first turned on the bill, the focus on the drama

506
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 3: of the bro.

507
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: Ship or marriage or whatever coming to an end, as opposed.

508
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 3: To the guy is sticking with something he's been talking

509
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: about for years. He believes that wanting to have a

510
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: dollar forty for every dollar that you give the government

511
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 3: a dollar forty of services for every dollar you give

512
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: the government can't go on. Obviously, it's simple math. So

513
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: we got to stop. I didn't realize Great Britain's doing

514
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: the same thing. They're not as far down the road

515
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: as us. We're at one hundred and thirty percent of

516
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 3: our GDP, they're at one hundred percent. So that's why

517
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: this guy mentioned Western civilization.

518
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 5: In a time of growing economy.

519
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's part of me that things and this

520
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 4: is really discouraging and I shouldn't even say it out

521
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 4: loud on Friday, but it reminds me of the Biden

522
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: crime family, the idea that you could just pull one

523
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 4: thread and that would be one thread.

524
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

525
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: Their whole economic model was selling influence, selling access the

526
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: rest of it. There are twenty three you LLCs and

527
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: untraceable money and mysterious loans that were never paid off

528
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: as sources of income and all that stuff. The US

529
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 4: government is the same are gigantic expenditures on all of

530
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 4: social programs are all built on lies. Compensation rates for

531
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 4: doctors and hospitals that are utterly unsustainable. You know, Congress,

532
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 4: as you've pointed out many times lately, Jack saying we're

533
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: gonna spend this much, but we're gonna cut this much.

534
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 4: The expenditures are upfront, the cuts are in seven years,

535
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: and they never ever happen. It's a giant house and

536
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: cards built on lies.

537
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: A couple more witty things around this, because we might

538
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: not talk about it again this show. I don't know

539
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: unless one of them goes off again. It's a popular

540
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: female pundit said, so Elon goes kill the bill and

541
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: Trump goes. Elon has TDS, so Elon goes I'm the

542
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 3: reason Trump won.

543
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: So Trump goes, we waste billions on Elon.

544
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: So Elon goes Epstein and Flunky goes to port and

545
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: Elon goes impeach. And that's why women are too emotional

546
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: to be president, says this woman.

547
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Thought that was pretty clear. Shot my dear, Yeah, I

548
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty good. And one more from Mark Halprin.

549
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: Today, he as I mentioned earlier Nelly Bowls of the

550
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: Free Press described it as Real Housewives of Pennsylvania eviden

551
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: it's pretty funny.

552
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: So Mark Alprin and his nude letter went through the

553
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: stuff that actually happened, and he said, I mean that

554
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: was right before Trump referred to Musk as a clown

555
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: car of bad ideas in a tesley chassis, and Musk

556
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: fired back. I liked it better when President's got banned

557
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: from Twitter, and then the riffing when Trump called Musk

558
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: a blinking libertarian who's just Jeff Bezos, with memes prompting

559
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: most Musk to post an AI generated image of a

560
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: but jeweled Trump hugging a cyber truck.

561
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: And it went on from there that all could happen today.

562
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that was imagination.

563
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's difficult to parody this.

564
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 5: You can't.

565
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: You can't if if tell me this, So New York

566
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: Post says Trump is going to get rid of his

567
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: red tesla s that must come play. If Trump is

568
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: out on the White House lawn with a hammer beating

569
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: on that car today in front of cameras, would you

570
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: be shocked?

571
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: No?

572
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I would think, oh my god, where will this end?

573
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't be shocked.

574
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 5: He'd be shocked, shocked, but not surprised.

575
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: Okay, we got more. Oh you gonna weigh in on this?

576
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: Where are you Trump or Elon? You gotta choose one.

577
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: It's the way life works. Four one KFTC.

578
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: Ghost networks.

579
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 10: Insurance companies show a robust list of available healthcare providers

580
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 10: on paper, but not in practice. Ghost networks exist nationwide.

581
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 10: A recent study by the New York Attorney General's Office

582
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 10: of thirteen health plans found eighty six percent of the

583
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 10: listed in network. Mental health provider's staff called we're ghosts

584
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 10: experts we spoke with say, first, get.

585
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 11: The care that you need, then go back to your

586
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 11: insurance company and file for an exemption or an appeal

587
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 11: if you had to seek care from an out of

588
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 11: network provider, and finally report that ghost network to your

589
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 11: safe department of insurance so they can investigate.

590
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Well, is this mostly mental health stuff they're talking about?

591
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: They mentioned that.

592
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: Does it happen more in the mental health world than

593
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: it does in like the regular doctor world.

594
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 5: I would be taking a wild guest. I have no idea.

595
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: I was just going to throw out a therapist I

596
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: know says chat GPT is completely replacing us. You got

597
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: a question about something mental help wise, ask chat GPT.

598
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

599
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, how interesting? So, speaking of people who need emotional help,

600
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: Trump and Elon Musk getting into a feud.

601
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 6: Uh.

602
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 5: One of the more uncomfortable and weird.

603
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 4: Aspects of it was that Friedrich Merrittz, yeah, or the

604
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: German chancellor was chancellor prime minister?

605
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 5: What is he these days? I don't know. Later he

606
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 5: was in pardon no no, oh nine nine nine nine.

607
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 5: You don't you?

608
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: Is that?

609
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 8: What?

610
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 7: Uh?

611
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 4: Anyway, so he was in town to visit with Trump

612
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: and it was extremely annoying. He was on a show

613
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: and they asked him all about the Trump Elawn feud.

614
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 5: I was like, are you serious anyway?

615
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 4: So Trump asks about defense spending and and and and

616
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: I wish we had more time. I think we do

617
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: have time. Play forty eight real quick, Michael reporter and Trump.

618
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: Is Germany doing enough on defense?

619
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 5: It's mister President enough on defense?

620
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Enough defense? Or Chancellor wants Germany doing want to Well,

621
00:31:59,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

622
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 8: I mean, I haven't discussed it very much. I know

623
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 8: that you're spending more money on defense now, and quite

624
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 8: a bit more money, and that's a positive thing. I'm

625
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 8: not sure that General MacArthur would have said it's positive.

626
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 8: You know, he couldn't like it, but I sort of

627
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 8: think it's good.

628
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: You understand what I mean.

629
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 8: But he may have stay and never let Germany re arm.

630
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 8: And I said, I always think about that. When he says, sir,

631
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 8: with spending more money on defense, I say, oh, is

632
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 8: that a good thing or a bad thing?

633
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing.

634
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 8: But you know, at least a certain point, there'll be

635
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 8: a point when I'll see, please don't arm anymore.

636
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: If you don't want it, you watch.

637
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: It get it well, that is, it gets more wild

638
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: nomadic train wreck. Yeah, yeah, but nobody paid attention to it.

639
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that's an astonishing effort at conversation.

640
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 9: That was.

641
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, I think it stands on his own. But

642
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: then this next clip actually has got and a bit

643
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: of attention.

644
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 12: May I remind you that we are having June sixth tomorrow.

645
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 12: This is D Day anniversary when the Americans once ended

646
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 12: the war in Europe, and I think this is in

647
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 12: your hand in specific in ours hell.

648
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 8: Is not a pleasant day.

649
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 12: No, that was not a pleasant in the long run,

650
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 12: mister president. This was the liberation of my country from

651
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 12: Nazi Nazi dictator, and we know what we owe you.

652
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 12: But this is the reason why I'm saying that America

653
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 12: is again in a very strong position to do something

654
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 12: on this war and ending this war. So let's talk

655
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 12: about what we can do jointly.

656
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. So D Day not a good day for you all?

657
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: Huh wow, Wow, you know, it's fine, It's fine.

658
00:33:58,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 5: That's a hell of a thing.

659
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

660
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: And then so I didn't watch the interview when he

661
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: was on Brett Bair, and I thought I should have

662
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 3: because did anybody ask the German FEU or Trump about

663
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: the dude Merc's statement last week that limits are off

664
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 3: on Ukraine using the weapons. They can fire mo wherever

665
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: they want. In Ukraine, we say so, Britain says so.

666
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: Franciso in the United States says so. Did anybody ask

667
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: Trump did we say so or not?

668
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 5: I'm ashamed of this. I tuned out of it.

669
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 4: I was so annoyed with Aisha Hasney's attempt to interview him.

670
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: I was thinking, boy, she's the rising star. She's been

671
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 4: filling in three days this week. I think for Brett

672
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 4: Behar her like global geopolitics, chops are not good.

673
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: Well, then they ask about Elon and Trump.

674
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: The German chancellor had to leave thinking this is why

675
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: Ukraine is doomed.

676
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: America is so inner looking.

677
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 5: You're not adults? Yeah, wow, wasn't it.

678
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't a good good day to look like adults.

679
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 5: No, No, these are odd times, folks say.
