0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 2>A man accused of fire bombing a peaceful Jewish demonstration

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado facing a judge, Ahamed Sabri Solomon.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>He's now formally.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Charged with one hundred and eighteen crimes, including twenty eight

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>counts of attempted murder. A federal judge temporarily blocking efforts

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to deport the entire family until they get a hearing

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>next week.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>I heard somebody say yesterday that they think it's too

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>bad that the term Molotov cocktail caught on because it

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 3>sounds too like fun, like a child's toy, as opposed

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>to what it is. Maybe it's just because I've read

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>enough war stuff that I I don't look at it

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 3>that way.

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it does sound kind of clever. It's a fire bomb,

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 4>it's setting people on fire.

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, it's a it's.

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 5>A weapon of death and torture.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 3>And you're right, and you could make one this afternoon

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 3>easily at home, which is one of the great one

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>of the reasons it's such a great invention for the

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>terrorist or the you know, low funded insurgency.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Right, exactly.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the term Molotov cocktail is a wry, sarcastic joke

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 4>created by people who are in life or death struggles.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 4>It's like, if familiar with cops sense as of humor,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 4>it's pretty dark.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's an interesting point.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Uh So, I sort of pride myself in being able

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 4>to combine several different stories into a little feature atte

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 4>and bring you various aspects of a bigger story. I'm

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>struggling with this one because there are several elements to

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 4>this and they're all so important. It has to do

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 4>with Islamism, speaking of the would be Islamic supremacist or

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>a pro Palestinian activist or anti Semite monster.

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 5>However you want to describe this.

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Guy in Boulder, Colorado who set fire to a bunch

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 4>of Jews and old people in well, Americans, he said

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 4>fire to a bunch of Americans. I was doing some

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 4>research earlier to remind myself of some great examples of

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 4>the alliance between elements of the far left and Islamists

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 4>through you know, the last seventy five one hundred years

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 4>or so, and there are a lot of different examples

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>of it, and the main point being, wait a minute,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 4>you want to tear down the West. I want to

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 4>tear down the West. Maybe we can work together. And

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 4>then each side thinks, once the tearing down of the

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 4>West occurs, we'll just get rid of those lunatics and

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 4>we'll be in charge. And if you're in you know,

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 4>in World War Two, the Islamists ended up on the

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 4>short end of the stick. But if you were a

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Marxist in Iran who helped overthrow the Shah, the Iyatolas

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 4>got got the power and ended up hanging and disappearing

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 4>the Marxists.

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 5>But it's an old, old.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Thing, and nobody ever wants to talk about it, especially

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 4>in the mainstream media because they're so uncomfortable telling the

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 4>truth about uncomfortable things. But yeah, the college kids demonstrating

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>in favor of the Palestinians and screaming about how Israel

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 4>is a colonial press or state or whatever the hell,

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 4>that's the nexus between, you know, the neo Marxists and

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 4>the Islamists that you're watching it play out in real time.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 4>How the hell can there be some angry twenty year

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 4>old woman with purple hair screaming queers for Palestine.

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's so absurd, it's hilarious.

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's it.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 5>That's that nexus. Anyway.

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Maybe more on that another time, but there are a

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 4>bunch of stories on that topic, like did you follow

0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Jack the Washington Post Israel kill over thirty gozens of

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 4>the Humanitarian Aid site covers.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>And that they then apologized for it.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, you skipped from And then the death star

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 4>exploded the galaxy far far away than the staring.

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Out Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 5>Well what spoiler alert?

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.679
<v Speaker 4>So what happened was the Washington Post published this story

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 4>blaming Israel for killing over thirty gozzins, and then it

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 4>very notably significantly edited this story but did not issue

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.799
<v Speaker 4>a correction or explanation, which is kind of the rule

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 4>if you're a news organization, If you completely alter the

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 4>facts in a story, you have to own it and

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 4>explain why. They didn't for days until the howling got

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 4>too loud and they finally put out a mealy mouthed

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 4>the statement. Earlier versions of the article on Sunday stated

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 4>that Israeli troops killed more than thirty feetple near a

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 4>US eight site with the headline attributing the action to

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 4>health officials. In a correction no blah blah, the article

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 4>failed to make clear if attributing the death to Israel

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 4>was the position of the Gaza Health Ministry or a

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 4>fact verified by the Post.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 5>Blah blah blah was updated.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, nice job taking the word of the Gaza Health

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Ministry and running with the story. I mean, that's just

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 4>And gave no weight in fact, pretended as if the IDF,

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 4>the Israeli Defense Forces hadn't said anything about it. It

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 4>was it was as if, you know, the Muslim Brotherhood

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 4>had their own newspapers.

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, anyway, the Washington that is worth pointing out because

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 3>NPR does this all the time. They'll quote something will happen,

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 3>then they'll quote the Gaza Health Ministry. They don't quote Israel.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Israel always makes a statement to always. Of course they

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 3>do all the freaking time. They're not gonna let you know,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 3>a whole bunch of people die at the where they're

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 3>handing out the food and just let headlines run wild

0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>around the world.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>They make a stake. But NPR, Washington Post other news outlets.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Act like, well, the only people we've heard from is

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 3>the God, the help God, the health Ministry.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>And they never lie.

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 5>Isa.

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's it's embarrassingly bad journalism. Yeah, yeah it is,

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 3>but it's it's not journalism, it's the thing. It's it's

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 3>advocacy for a radical UH philosophy, Mass creating his journalism.

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Moving along to Eli Lake's fabulous piece for the Free Press,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 4>who profits from Gaza's desperation, and he goes into the

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.559
<v Speaker 4>aid distribution debacle. There have been a number of deaths

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 4>and shootings and chaos, and as a US backed charity

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 4>has taken over aid distribution from the UN because Hamas

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 4>was stealing all the UN food and selling it at

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 4>high profits to the Palestinians.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I was watching some videos of that the other day

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 3>and thinking, you know, if you, if you can can

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 3>get away from the how this all occurred and what

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 3>brought all these circumstances together, and the complications there and

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 3>everything like that, just being a human being in that area,

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 3>you and your family, Starvin trying to literally fight for

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 3>a box of rice or something. I just I can't

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 3>imagine how awful that would be.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that is hell, That is hell.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 4>I would argue it's the inevitable result of an Islamist,

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 4>militant Islamist government declaring war on its neighbor, but it

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 4>is horrible. So the headline of Eli lakes story is

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 4>who profits from Gaza's desperation, and he talks about how

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 4>Israel's currently rolling out a new process for disturbing the aid.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 4>If it's successful, it will bypass Amas completely. This should

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 4>be a shared goal for everyone but the terrorists. And

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 4>yet the coverage of the new aid distribution system has

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 4>been dominated by scandal mongering. And he makes the greater

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 4>point that if the good things that people are trying

0:07:54.720 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 4>to do work in Gaza, it's a death sentence for Hamas.

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>And the idea that the Israelis are trying to decimate

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 4>the new aid program, which they.

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Have backed and it's not Hamas.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Doing it is absurd.

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 4>Hamas is desperate to derail list desperate, and anybody who

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 4>thinks about it for five minutes can figure that out.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 4>But the mainstream US media, which are a bunch of

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 4>Columbia grad school would be Marxists, are reporting the opposite. Again,

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 4>we don't have time to go into detail. I'm just

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 4>gonna hit a couple more headlines and maybe tease the

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 4>fact that we'll get into them in a significant way.

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Congress is nearing a move to designate the Muslim Brotherhood

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 4>a terrorist organization. Our Congress, keep that in mind when

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 4>I hit you with this headline.

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised we hadn't already. I thought we had.

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 5>I know, I know. And this is by a writer.

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 5>It's a terrific piece. It's long. I wish I could

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 5>read you the whole thing.

0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 3>How opis the Egyptians consider the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 5>So does Jordan and the UAE and several others.

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how the Muslim Brotherhood is capturing Europe.

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just going to hit you with a little

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 5>bit of this.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 4>And if you read Holliback was that his name, the

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 4>guy who wrote Submission novel, It got a tremendous amount

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 4>of attention, what like five years ago or so, is

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 4>about how France becomes a Muslim country, not like a

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 4>country with Muslims, but like Iran.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's a very believable scenario. Yeah.

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 4>The scary part of it is how mundane a lot

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 4>of it is. It's just kind of the slow movement

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 4>of politics and pressure and money and the rest of it.

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 3>It's also got some very vivid explicit sex scenes in

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 3>that book, so I don't want you to be caught

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.079
<v Speaker 3>unaware if you're horrified by that sort of thing.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:49.839
<v Speaker 5>Helped the jazz it up a little bit.

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, this woman Simone raw Don Benzaquin Benzequin, who

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 4>I've never heard of before, but she's a terrific writer.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 4>France didn't I'm going to read this for just a minute.

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 4>France didn't plan to blow the whistle on the Muslim

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Brotherhood's attempt to take over Europe.

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 5>But that's exactly what it did.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.199
<v Speaker 4>A couple of weeks ago when a classified report from

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 4>the Ministry of the Interior leaked to the newspaper Le Figaro,

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 4>which is a big newspaper. Funny Jack is an aside.

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Have you heard about that leak? No nobody has. US

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 4>media has held it at the end of a ten

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 4>foot pole, big leak of a confidential report. The seventy

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 4>three page document marked Confidential Defense, was meant for top

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 4>officials only. Based on intelligence files, field investigations, and dozens

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 4>of interviews, it laid out a stark diagnosis the Muslim

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Brotherhood has built an extensive ideological infrastructure in France, not

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 4>through violence, but through schools, charities, mosques and soft power.

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 4>It states quote the Brotherhood's strategy is to install a

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 4>form of ideological hegemony by infiltrating civil society under the

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 4>guise of religious and educational activities. It's the most detailed

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 4>governmental study to date of the Brotherhood's present in presence

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 4>in Europe. Its conclusion is blunt. The Brotherhood operates as

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 4>a political project. Is Its goal is not sudden revolution

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 4>but gradual transformation. Its targets our hearts and minds. It

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 4>strength lies not in secrecy, but in strategic ambiguity. And

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 4>it is not coming just for France, It is coming

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 4>for all of the West, our allies. The French just

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 4>put out a confidential report saying the Muslim Brotherhood is

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.719
<v Speaker 4>trying to conquer the West, and we slumber.

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Here in the US thinking our oceans will.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.439
<v Speaker 3>Protect us and talk about Twitter feuds, speaking of which, well,

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 3>it's a damn good Twitter feud.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you're going to be distracted, be distracted

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 4>by something entertaining.

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of which, Donald and Elon are shinned deep in

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 3>urine after their whizzing match yesterday and it continue overnight

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.959
<v Speaker 3>in today, colorful yet unnecessarily graphic.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>More of not coming up stated.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Forty new study from the American Medical Association, use of

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 6>cannabis among senior citizens increased forty six percent over two years.

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And you've thought old people drove slow.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Before coming up, we'll get into a little of the

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 3>elon Trump feud where it is and and some of

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 3>the commentary around it, which I find kind of entertaining.

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 3>This is kind of heavy, but damned interesting. I didn't

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 3>know there was a new documentary out about Billy Joel.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Is that just a coincidence that there's a documentary out

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 3>when he announced he's got this horrible brain condition and

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 3>he had to cancel our his tour. It's called a

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Billy Joel and so it goes, which I was just

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 3>reading the other day. He thinks that's the best song

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 3>he ever wrote. That's a heavy song. Speaking of heavy,

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it.

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh wow?

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Really okay, you got to check that that That is

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 3>his most powerful heartbreak song of all time?

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it is. It is absolutely something.

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, I liked Uptown Girl. I thought that was a

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 5>great song.

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 3>He earned his powerful emotions in some songs by being

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 3>a certain sort of guy. You find out in the documentary,

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 3>and I've been all I was a Billy Joel freak

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 3>in high school. And I think I wrote a paper

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 3>about him once. Didn't know any of this stuff. He

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 3>tried to kill himself twice in his twenties. Oh wow,

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 3>like really tried to kill himself twice in his twenties,

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>which I'll get to in a second. He had a

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 3>music act with another dude. They were living together. The

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 3>other dude was married. Billy Joel falls in love with

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 3>his best friend and music partner's wife ends up having an.

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Affair with her.

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Dude punches him in the nose, which Billy Joel says

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>was perfectly appropriate.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.479
<v Speaker 1>They had a kid. I was a homewrecker.

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I felt so bad about it that I just so

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 3>horrible about myself that I tried to kill myself twice.

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He was.

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 3>He got kicked out of that house obviously, you know

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.199
<v Speaker 3>they don't stay there once you start doing that. And

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 3>he was sleeping in laundromats, and he said he was

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 3>almost psychotic. He was so sad and crazed at the time.

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 3>His sister gave him a bottle of sleeping pills to

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 3>help him sleep. He took the mall. He ended up

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 3>in a coma for many days in the hospital. I

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 3>didn't know Billy Joel was in a coma in the

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 3>hospital for days, trying to kill himself. Then when he

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 3>got out, he tried to kill himself a second time,

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 3>drinking an entire bottle of lemon pledge.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Sing us a song, You're the piano man, drank.

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 3>An entire bottle of lemon pledge, ended up in the

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 3>hospital again with great fresh breath.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>And a shine.

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 4>This is a man in despair trying to end his

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 4>own life. I apologize.

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 3>He got rid of that hazy tabletop. Look beautiful, shine,

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 3>you can see a reflection in it.

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 3>He earned some of his you know, like a lot

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>of artists. Yeah, I'll probably watch that documentary.

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Whoo, that's heavy.

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 7>How did he keep that? Being as big as he is,

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 7>how did he keep that part of his life a

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 7>secret all these years? Usually you know this stuff about

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 7>the big giant stars.

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, right, was the gossip press just not quite as

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 4>well developed?

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Or I guess dude and his wife didn't go to

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the press with it. And good for them, you know,

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 3>they didn't write a tell all book My years with

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Billy Joel the Homewrecker.

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, they didn't.

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 3>They didn't try to profit from it, and his sister

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't either, apparently, because that's what it usually takes is

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 3>for stuff like this to come out.

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Is somebody needs a few bucks and they go to

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 4>You're right, those those kind of books are just disgusted me.

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 3>You go to a bookstore, there's always tons of them,

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 3>whether it's about politicians or athletes or movie stars, singers

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 3>or whatever. You know, you slept with him for a

0:15:58.640 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks, and now I want to tell your

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 3>story and make money off of it whatever.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Disgusting.

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 5>Hm, I must not go to that section of the

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 5>bookstore or something. Uh.

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, they're always they're always prominently displayed. Maybe they sell well,

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh so Elon and Trump, where are we on that?

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 3>So I woke up this morning to the Politico headline

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 3>that Trump and Elon both had calmed down, become grown

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 3>ups and they were gonna have a phone call today.

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's completely over fake news.

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know where political Well, Trump told Politico that

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what point he changed his mind, because

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 3>then he told CNN and then the Washington Post later

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 3>that no, I'm not talking to Elon and I'm moving

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 3>on and care about the bill, and he's gonna get

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 3>rid of his tesla has read tesla, according to uh

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 3>mirork Post, and Elon's got some things. Is Elon continuing

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 3>late into the night last night to link Epstein's stories

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 3>with Trump in them to who is two hundred and

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty million follow words?

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>For some reason. I don't know what he thinks he's

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>going to get there.

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, I've been following the minute by minute updates on

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 4>the feud. I have some recent developments for you. Ted

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Cruz has weighed in wrong.

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 8>And you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.679
<v Speaker 8>mandate and you know, which was a lot of money

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 8>for electric vehicles and you know they're having a hard

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 8>time the electric vehicles and they want us to pay

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 8>billions of dollars in subsidy. And you know, I Elon

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 8>knew this from the beginning. He knew it for a

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 8>long time ago. That's been in there. That's been I

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 8>would say, j D. That hasn't changed. That's been right

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 8>from the beginning.

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Mister.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 8>I think mister secretary, that hasn't changed it all right

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 8>from the beginning.

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, just this and aside before we get into

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 4>the ongoing Hatfields and McCoy's battle between Trump and Elon

0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Musk read a great piece about how GM has been

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 4>whip sawd as administrations come and go on like massive policies,

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 4>and how their CEO has to come out and say,

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 4>we embrace the new ev revolutionists.

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:12.679
<v Speaker 1>It will lead us to a brighter future.

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 4>And then you know, as soon as Biden's out office,

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.439
<v Speaker 4>thank god that hiad is over. Hey, let's guess up

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 4>America and kick some ass.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 5>Just it's just not good.

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I know, somebody who's at a high level in one

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 3>of the other very famous American automobile manufacturers found on

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 3>road dead Fixer repaired daily. I drive lots of words,

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, they said, yeah, So they tell us, we

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 3>got to build all these electric charge stations on our lot.

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 3>So we're going to spend millions of dollars on that

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 3>when there's a good chance that nobody wants the cars,

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 3>nobody's buying them, nobody's biting the Ford lightning. We've done

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 3>the story before from Wall Street Journal about how many

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 3>gazillions of dollars they've lost on all of these things,

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 3>doing it because the government tells them, and then the

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 3>next administration comes along is no, no, we ain't doing this.

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Nobody wants them. And Trump said that yesterday about Elon.

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 3>We're taking out the uh, the subsidies for the.

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Electric cars because people don't want them.

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 4>Just crew right, right. But Elon and Giant Corporation and

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 4>shareholders had, you know, planned their business future based on

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 4>government policy, which has now changed completely. And that's just

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 4>not the way a market ought to operate. But that's

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of an aside to the clown show, which is

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 4>the Musk Trump feud.

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 9>Who signed time for the clowns and the acrobats and

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 9>the dancing palo whatever?

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 4>Whose side are you on? When I wanted that clip?

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 4>But forget it.

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>You got to pick a side.

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 3>From the way I understand it, You're either on Elon

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 3>side or Trump side. That's the only way you can

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 3>do it. There's no nuance, there's no this but that

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 3>you pick a side. This is the United States of

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 3>America looking around for a coin. I don't carry coins.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Let's see, how about I'll twist the pen if the

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 3>pen point toward me. It's Trump, it's a way, it's musk.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh shoot, I just threw the pen on myself. I

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 3>line side's about the way you'd have to do it.

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 5>Jack.

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm on the side of America. The reason I asked

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 4>for the Ted Cruz clip, which I said I would cue,

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 4>is that I'm following the minute by minute updates on

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 4>a couple of different publications and frankly, they're now milking.

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 5>This and because it's not not much as happening, but.

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Ted Cruz has entered the fray Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz.

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 9>The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 9>dancing bears has passed.

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Is this part of the delicious scandal? Milk?

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 4>The problem with Ted Cruz is that saying that is

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:55.160
<v Speaker 4>he he is one of the acrobatic clown bears, which

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 4>is weird because if you meet Ted in person, he

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 4>is a very sincere, down to earth.

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Guy from serious person. But now he is a bear

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 3>doing summer resaults on a tight wire.

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Hyah.

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:17.200
<v Speaker 4>It's a guy who recognized, okay, showmanship in hyperbole is

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 4>the way to get head these days.

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 5>But that's not his game, that's not his groove. Anyway.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 4>Ah, but he said, he said, let's hug and makeup.

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 4>He said on his podcast Friday that he was in

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 4>the Oval Office with President Trump while the fight with

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musk was unfolding, and that the President was pissed

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 4>in that moment, but he said the country would be

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 4>better off if Trump and Musk reconciled.

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Quote.

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of conservatives are feeling like this

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 4>is not good. Let's hug and make up. He added

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 4>that both Musk and Trump are right about the budget bill.

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 4>The country needs for it to pass, but it can

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 4>be made better.

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 5>Wow. How about that?

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.959
<v Speaker 3>So I said this earlier, and you gave me your

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 3>squinty look, like I know if I believe you're muttering

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 3>squinty look when tweeted out yesterday. Without me, Trump would

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 3>have lost the election, Dems would control the House, Republicans

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 3>would be fifty one to forty nine per centate. I

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 3>believe that you don't think that's true. You think Trump

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 3>would have won without.

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Elon in the three hundred million dollars, I.

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Think it's it's impossible to say that with any certainty.

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it helped a lot.

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 3>It sure made a big difference to me, like, God,

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 3>do we'd want to do this again? Sort of you know,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Trump supporter and Elon being so hardcore about you know,

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 3>doge over and over and over again in fiscal responsibility.

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:32.679
<v Speaker 3>Sure brought me along. I don't know how many other

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 3>people it did.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I think you're right in principle one hundred percent.

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm just very cynical about the whole this is what

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 4>won the election thing, because that's crap most of the time.

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, it was, it was, it was significant, hundred percent.

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 1>The Nazi salute brought all the Nazis into the party.

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh that was valuable. Yep, yep, yep, yep.

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.439
<v Speaker 4>New York Times you reported on Cory Booker's Nazi salute.

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 5>Yet no, I didn't think so.

0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 3>So Steve Bannon, who helped Trump get elected, say this

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 3>morning on one of the gazillion podcasts that exist that

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Trump should sign an executive order and sees SpaceX tonight

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 3>before midnight. Wow, the government's gonna seize the most successful

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:19.680
<v Speaker 3>rocket company in world history, just at a butt hurtness.

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, Bannon, he just he wants to tear

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 4>the whole thing down. He's he's a Marxist, he says himself.

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 4>He's a weird sort of Marxist, but he just wants

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.440
<v Speaker 4>to tear it down and start again. The only other

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:37.159
<v Speaker 4>headline update really anything happening is that Tesla stock has

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 4>turned around. It had lost fourteen percent yesterday.

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, that's a hell of a lot of mine.

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:44.199
<v Speaker 1>And why do you think that was?

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Just because I theres a lot of people have been

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 3>making these jokes about how you know liberals are out

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 3>there trying to scrape there. I bought this car before

0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Elon became a Nazi. Bumper stickers off their Tesla now, right,

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 3>and you know put on I'm with Elon bumper sticker

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 3>back on it or something.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 5>Like that, right.

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 3>So why did that hurt Tesla's stock, that Elon turned

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 3>against Trump?

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 4>I think because of the enormous regulatory power of the

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 4>federal government, regulatory slash, subsidies, the rest of it. Because

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.360
<v Speaker 4>the government has way, way, way too much power over

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 4>the economy. So you've been quoting this Constantine kiss in person, yeah,

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 4>a couple of times lately.

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 3>And he tweeted this out. Yes, this is where I

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 3>am on the whole thing. What Elon Musk is doing

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 3>is genuinely heroic. He will win no friends in politics

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 3>and will be ostracized by the current administration, but he

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 3>is totally right. We the entire Western world, simply cannot

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 3>go on pretending our way of life is sustainable. Historically,

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.400
<v Speaker 3>countries build up surpluses in peacetime and then go into

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 3>debt to fight wars. We're going into more and more

0:24:56.040 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 3>debt during peacetime. Clever economists will tell you this is sustainable.

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 3>It is not, and someone has to do something about it.

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I only want to add, also, you will go into

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 4>debt during times of recession and depression, but during times

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.719
<v Speaker 4>of economic growth you replenish the reserves and actually build surpluses.

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 4>We're doing the opposite of that as well. It's suicidal.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 4>My only response to that, you know, somewhat negative, is

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 4>that if Elon could have done it without being such

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 4>an a hole, it would have been really helpful to

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:28.639
<v Speaker 4>the cause.

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>You mean, while he was just running dog or yesterday,

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>no yesterday.

0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm sorry, in the whole run of him criticizing

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 4>the ugly abomination or whatever it was, the horrific See

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 4>if they but.

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Got the guy's short on sleep, he's got thirteen kids.

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 3>He's changing diapers, he's teaching it how to ride a bike.

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 3>He's helping somebody with their finals the last week of school.

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 3>He's got another kid headed off to college, trying to

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 3>get to Mars Burpen. One kid told one of his

0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend's baby, mama's can side pieces can get a night's

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 3>sleep while he's taking.

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 4>Our transgender kid who hates him tiring.

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>That would be that lifestyle.

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 5>That's a good point.

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, so I feel like the missing piece of

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 3>this whole story all ever since last week when he

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 3>first turned on the bill, the focus on the drama

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:21.400
<v Speaker 3>of the bro.

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Ship or marriage or whatever coming to an end, as opposed.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.919
<v Speaker 3>To the guy is sticking with something he's been talking

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 3>about for years. He believes that wanting to have a

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 3>dollar forty for every dollar that you give the government

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 3>a dollar forty of services for every dollar you give

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 3>the government can't go on. Obviously, it's simple math. So

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 3>we got to stop. I didn't realize Great Britain's doing

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the same thing. They're not as far down the road

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 3>as us. We're at one hundred and thirty percent of

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.640
<v Speaker 3>our GDP, they're at one hundred percent. So that's why

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 3>this guy mentioned Western civilization.

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 5>In a time of growing economy.

0:26:55.800 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, there's part of me that things and this

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:02.959
<v Speaker 4>is really discouraging and I shouldn't even say it out

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 4>loud on Friday, but it reminds me of the Biden

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 4>crime family, the idea that you could just pull one

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:10.920
<v Speaker 4>thread and that would be one thread.

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 5>It's crazy.

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Their whole economic model was selling influence, selling access the

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 4>rest of it. There are twenty three you LLCs and

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 4>untraceable money and mysterious loans that were never paid off

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 4>as sources of income and all that stuff. The US

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 4>government is the same are gigantic expenditures on all of

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 4>social programs are all built on lies. Compensation rates for

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:44.680
<v Speaker 4>doctors and hospitals that are utterly unsustainable. You know, Congress,

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 4>as you've pointed out many times lately, Jack saying we're

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 4>gonna spend this much, but we're gonna cut this much.

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:53.959
<v Speaker 4>The expenditures are upfront, the cuts are in seven years,

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 4>and they never ever happen. It's a giant house and

0:27:58.600 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 4>cards built on lies.

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 3>A couple more witty things around this, because we might

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 3>not talk about it again this show. I don't know

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 3>unless one of them goes off again. It's a popular

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 3>female pundit said, so Elon goes kill the bill and

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Trump goes. Elon has TDS, so Elon goes I'm the

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:16.360
<v Speaker 3>reason Trump won.

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So Trump goes, we waste billions on Elon.

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 3>So Elon goes Epstein and Flunky goes to port and

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Elon goes impeach. And that's why women are too emotional

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 3>to be president, says this woman.

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Thought that was pretty clear. Shot my dear, Yeah, I

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>thought that was pretty good. And one more from Mark Halprin.

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 4>Today, he as I mentioned earlier Nelly Bowls of the

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Free Press described it as Real Housewives of Pennsylvania eviden

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 4>it's pretty funny.

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 3>So Mark Alprin and his nude letter went through the

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>stuff that actually happened, and he said, I mean that

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 3>was right before Trump referred to Musk as a clown

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 3>car of bad ideas in a tesley chassis, and Musk

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 3>fired back. I liked it better when President's got banned

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 3>from Twitter, and then the riffing when Trump called Musk

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 3>a blinking libertarian who's just Jeff Bezos, with memes prompting

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 3>most Musk to post an AI generated image of a

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>but jeweled Trump hugging a cyber truck.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 1>And it went on from there that all could happen today.

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh okay, that was imagination.

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's difficult to parody this.

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 5>You can't.

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 3>You can't if if tell me this, So New York

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Post says Trump is going to get rid of his

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 3>red tesla s that must come play. If Trump is

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 3>out on the White House lawn with a hammer beating

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:34.960
<v Speaker 3>on that car today in front of cameras, would you

0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 3>be shocked?

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I would think, oh my god, where will this end?

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 3>But I wouldn't be shocked.

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 5>He'd be shocked, shocked, but not surprised.

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we got more. Oh you gonna weigh in on this?

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Where are you Trump or Elon? You gotta choose one.

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the way life works. Four one KFTC.

0:29:58.640 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Ghost networks.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 10>Insurance companies show a robust list of available healthcare providers

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 10>on paper, but not in practice. Ghost networks exist nationwide.

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 10>A recent study by the New York Attorney General's Office

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 10>of thirteen health plans found eighty six percent of the

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 10>listed in network. Mental health provider's staff called we're ghosts

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 10>experts we spoke with say, first, get.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 11>The care that you need, then go back to your

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 11>insurance company and file for an exemption or an appeal

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 11>if you had to seek care from an out of

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 11>network provider, and finally report that ghost network to your

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 11>safe department of insurance so they can investigate.

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, is this mostly mental health stuff they're talking about?

0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 1>They mentioned that.

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Does it happen more in the mental health world than

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 3>it does in like the regular doctor world.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 5>I would be taking a wild guest. I have no idea.

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I was just going to throw out a therapist I

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 3>know says chat GPT is completely replacing us. You got

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 3>a question about something mental help wise, ask chat GPT.

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty good.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how interesting? So, speaking of people who need emotional help,

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Trump and Elon Musk getting into a feud.

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 5>One of the more uncomfortable and weird.

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Aspects of it was that Friedrich Merrittz, yeah, or the

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 4>German chancellor was chancellor prime minister?

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 5>What is he these days? I don't know. Later he

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 5>was in pardon no no, oh nine nine nine nine.

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 5>You don't you?

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Is that?

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 8>What?

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, so he was in town to visit with Trump

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 4>and it was extremely annoying. He was on a show

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 4>and they asked him all about the Trump Elawn feud.

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 5>I was like, are you serious anyway?

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 4>So Trump asks about defense spending and and and and

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 4>I wish we had more time. I think we do

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 4>have time. Play forty eight real quick, Michael reporter and Trump.

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Is Germany doing enough on defense?

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 5>It's mister President enough on defense?

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Enough defense? Or Chancellor wants Germany doing want to Well,

0:31:59.560 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I haven't discussed it very much. I know

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 8>that you're spending more money on defense now, and quite

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 8>a bit more money, and that's a positive thing. I'm

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 8>not sure that General MacArthur would have said it's positive.

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 8>You know, he couldn't like it, but I sort of

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 8>think it's good.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 5>You understand what I mean.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 8>But he may have stay and never let Germany re arm.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 8>And I said, I always think about that. When he says, sir,

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 8>with spending more money on defense, I say, oh, is

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 8>that a good thing or a bad thing?

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a good thing.

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 8>But you know, at least a certain point, there'll be

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 8>a point when I'll see, please don't arm anymore.

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>If you don't want it, you watch.

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 3>It get it well, that is, it gets more wild

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 3>nomadic train wreck. Yeah, yeah, but nobody paid attention to it.

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's an astonishing effort at conversation.

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 9>That was.

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, anyway, I think it stands on his own. But

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 4>then this next clip actually has got and a bit

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 4>of attention.

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 12>May I remind you that we are having June sixth tomorrow.

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 12>This is D Day anniversary when the Americans once ended

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 12>the war in Europe, and I think this is in

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:17.240
<v Speaker 12>your hand in specific in ours hell.

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 8>Is not a pleasant day.

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 12>No, that was not a pleasant in the long run,

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 12>mister president. This was the liberation of my country from

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 12>Nazi Nazi dictator, and we know what we owe you.

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 12>But this is the reason why I'm saying that America

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 12>is again in a very strong position to do something

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 12>on this war and ending this war. So let's talk

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:42.479
<v Speaker 12>about what we can do jointly.

0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So D Day not a good day for you all?

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Huh wow, Wow, you know, it's fine, It's fine.

0:33:58.800 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 5>That's a hell of a thing.

0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 3>And then so I didn't watch the interview when he

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 3>was on Brett Bair, and I thought I should have

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:13.760
<v Speaker 3>because did anybody ask the German FEU or Trump about

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 3>the dude Merc's statement last week that limits are off

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 3>on Ukraine using the weapons. They can fire mo wherever

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 3>they want. In Ukraine, we say so, Britain says so.

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Franciso in the United States says so. Did anybody ask

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Trump did we say so or not?

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm ashamed of this. I tuned out of it.

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:34.359
<v Speaker 4>I was so annoyed with Aisha Hasney's attempt to interview him.

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking, boy, she's the rising star. She's been

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 4>filling in three days this week. I think for Brett

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 4>Behar her like global geopolitics, chops are not good.

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, then they ask about Elon and Trump.

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 3>The German chancellor had to leave thinking this is why

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine is doomed.

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 1>America is so inner looking.

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 5>You're not adults? Yeah, wow, wasn't it.

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't a good good day to look like adults.

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:02.759
