Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro getting 18 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 4: pressed on the question. Let's look at how he responded. 19 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 5: To it article in the New York Times about Democrats 20 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 5: pulling away from APEC. So clearly it's having some impact 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 5: on them politically. Of d Field like they got to 22 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's become a political issue. You've 23 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 5: used it as a political issue. 24 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 6: You've questionederal representatives when they're on here on that. I mean, 25 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 6: I think if I can say this to you, you know, 26 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 6: not trying to offend you here, but I think it's 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 6: a little bit of a shortcut and a little bit 28 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 6: of a lazy question. I think the better question is 29 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 6: how do you really feel about Israel? How you feel 30 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 6: about a two state solution, how do you feel about 31 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 6: the war? How do you feel about you know, the 32 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 6: hostages or hungry kids or what have you. I think 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 6: I think demanding answers on those questions is more important 34 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 6: than Hey, what about this lobbying group or that lobbying group. 35 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 5: Well, what do you say to the critics who argue 36 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 5: that US foreign policy on Israel is often shaped not 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 5: by a national interest, well by the lobbying. 38 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 6: Scrample of I think that's a fair conversation to have, 39 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 6: and I think it should be on any elected official 40 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 6: at the federal level to say, hey, I'm listening to 41 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 6: this group, but by the way, there's groups on other 42 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 6: sides too. 43 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: I'm listening to that group. 44 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, we want our 45 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 6: federal representatives to be able to sit here in this 46 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 6: chair and answer the questions about why they vot voted A, 47 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 6: or why they voted B, or why they feel a 48 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 6: certain way. And I think it's just a little lazy 49 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 6: to say, oh, it's got to be because of that 50 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 6: interest group. Maybe someone actually believes those those views, or 51 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 6: maybe someone feels strongly about that particular way. 52 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 4: And so the thing he said at the end there, 53 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 4: and we'll get into Molten in a second when we 54 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 4: get Szager's take on this. 55 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: I think he said at the end there we said, Okay. 56 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 4: Well, you've got the lobbying group APAC on the one side, 57 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: and then you've got the lobbying groups on the other side. 58 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 4: That's actually false. There is not a yeah lobbying group 59 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 4: on the other side. The only thing that would come 60 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: remotely close might be care. The Council on American Islamic 61 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 4: Relations cares budget annual budgets like ten million dollars. 62 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: A PAC spent more than that in. 63 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: One house race last year, double that in one house right, 64 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 4: So the entire national budget of the organization that they 65 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 4: would say is like on the other side, can't even 66 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: compete with them in a single house race. 67 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 7: So it's just not true. 68 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 4: And so the problem I have with Shapiro's response there, 69 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: this is what curious to take on is, rather than 70 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: answering the question. 71 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 7: Too often when people. 72 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: Ask this question, they're told you're not asking the right question. 73 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: You should ask other questions. It's like, no, you know what, 74 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: we're adults, like, this is the question I have, and 75 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 4: this is the question I want to answer to. 76 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Dude, we will ask whatever we want to say. 77 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: It's a lazy question, is because you're uncomfortable answering it 78 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: because you're pro Israel. And this is what drives me 79 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: crazy about these politicians is fundamentally, let's say Charlemagne a right, 80 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: Charlemagne is not one of us. He doesn't as far 81 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: as I know, he doesn't follow this stuff day in 82 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: and day out. 83 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: It's not his full time gig. 84 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: It's just politics, right, So for him, APAC is a 85 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: proxy for political control and Israel and he's pissed off 86 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: about the war in Gaza. That's it. 87 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: That's the question. 88 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: So answer that question, which Shapiro doesn't want to answer. 89 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: Why does he not want to answer that because he 90 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 3: supports it, right at the end of the day, he's 91 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: one of those people who's like. 92 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and yahoo's real problem. 93 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: But Israel is a place where gay people can get married, right, Like, 94 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: this is the line that's basically baked into them. Remember Also, 95 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: what was that collajap ed that Shapiro wrote about the IDF. 96 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: I don't I'd have. 97 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: To know and to check. 98 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: It was genuinely crazy though, And it's one of those 99 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: where with Josh Shapiro, this is going to be a 100 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: political problem for him because I don't know what it is. 101 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 102 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: It could be religious, it could be his own personal feelings, 103 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: it could just be genuine like not swimming in the 104 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: world of today's democratic base. But him knew some and 105 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: who am I? Who is my missing who messed up 106 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: on the APAC question? But I mean, these are the 107 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: two highest profile actual contenders. The fact that they can't 108 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: do oh court book, that's what the three of them. 109 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: The fact that they have never grappled with this, it's like, 110 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm sorry. The sheer lack of political 111 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: real talent is the ability to thread the needle on 112 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: that question. 113 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a single one of them been able 114 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: to do that. 115 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. 116 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 7: Newsom had a similar response. 117 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: He flubbed it. 118 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: He said, I think it's interesting he Rather than answering 119 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 4: the question, he confronted the idea of the question. 120 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 3: Right, I find the question interesting. 121 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, I find the question interesting, which makes trying to 122 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 4: make some illusions or something there yea.

Let's roll see two 142 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 4: and then get APAX response and unpack. 143 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 8: This has shown that Democrats do not support what has 144 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 8: happened in Gaza and that they've pulled away from support 145 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 8: for Israel. Or is it just that you yourself have 146 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 8: seen the images of what's transpired in this war and 147 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 8: that it's reshaped the way you see the United States 148 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 8: relationship to Israel. 149 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 9: Look, the United States relationship to Israel is incredibly important. 150 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 9: But I strongly disagree with the current Israeli government under 151 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 9: bb netan Yahoo, and I've been. 152 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 7: Very outspoken about this for quite some time. 153 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 9: I mean, in fact, I wrote an op ed just 154 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 9: after October seventh, right after those Hannus attacks, saying that 155 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 9: bb Net Yahoo needs to have a political plan for 156 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 9: the future for Palestinians and for Israelis to live peacefully 157 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 9: side by side. 158 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 7: He still doesn't have that plan. 159 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 9: So after months and months of pressuring the Israeli government, 160 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 9: pressuring APAC itself to not just follow the Israeli government, 161 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 9: I finally decided that I just cannot accept a contributions 162 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 9: from an organization whose mission is to support the current 163 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 9: government in Israel. 164 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 10: Congressman, but let me just faw up on that really quickly. 165 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 10: How do you reconcile rejecting a PAC money but still 166 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 10: voting for the same policies that APAC is advocating for. 167 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 10: You have continuously supported sending offense at cuchers. 168 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 7: I frequently disagreed with APAC. 169 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: I know you disagree with You have been voting for wait, 170 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: slow down, slow down. I didn't finish my question. 171 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 10: Then I didn't finish my question. I was saying, you 172 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 10: voted for sending weapons to Israel, which is something APAC 173 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 10: has advocated for. 174 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 9: Okay, so sure there are some votes that will agree on. 175 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Very interesting, Ryan, I don't know. 176 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it's one of those where it does take 177 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: some level of political courage to say no, I won't 178 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: take a single apacked off. 179 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 4: Now, I'm not saying this is a response running from massachusetent. 180 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: And he's running from Massachusetts Senate, and he's got a 181 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: couple of things on his side. Right, So he's young, 182 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: that's number one, is running against an opponent who is 183 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: much older. That being said, remember ed Marky survived a 184 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: primary challenge from one of the Kennedy claner. Yeah. 185 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 7: First Kennedy to lose. 186 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, the first Kennedy to lose in the state. 187 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: Of massachusetsquired to remember which one it was. 188 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: There you go, And what I remember if I recall 189 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: again the race, which I covered extensively with Crystal, was 190 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: that he really embraced a lot of the youth vote, 191 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: the Green Deal, Sunrise movies this time around, though, this 192 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: is a very smart thing for Seth Molton to do 193 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: by I mean, it's a big headline no matter what, 194 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 3: and it's one of those where regardless of whether he's 195 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 3: threading the needle or not, the truth is is that 196 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: I've said this, I think we've all said this here 197 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: on the show. What you want to do is to 198 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: make your position politically politically convenient. Politicians are soulless scum. 199 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: They believe in almost almost all of them believe in nothing. 200 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: So what you want is for your position to be 201 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 3: the cynical choice. That's how you really win, all right, 202 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: That's how the neocons won, That's how the Israel lobbie won. 203 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,119 Speaker 3: You think half of these people care about Israel? No, okay, 204 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: we just thought free money, easy way to get elected. Yeah, 205 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: you gotta go and kiss the wall. Sometimes it is 206 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: what it is. Now you flip that around. And that's 207 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: really how, in my opinion, you win to see change 208 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 3: in politics. 209 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 4: And he's looking over his shoulder a little bit too, 210 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: because Aana Presley has been eyeing this. Oh I didn't 211 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 4: know this Senate see, and was hoping that Edmark he 212 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 4: would not run for reelection. 213 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 7: He frankly should And I mean, come on, man, there's 214 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 7: plenty you go go ahead, like, enjoy your life. 215 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 3: Yes, how old is he eighty something? 216 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? 217 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, it's too much. 218 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: Listen. I couldn't agree with you more. 219 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: Between Janet Mills, between him, I mean, Schumer and the 220 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: rest of these people. I just I feel like it's 221 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: like a movie scene. I'm like, do you have any shame? Like, 222 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: have you no shame? 223 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 11: Sir? 224 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: Seriously? 225 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 4: And because Presley came in with the squad, you know, 226 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 4: she's been critical of Yau in general specifically, but also 227 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 4: Israel more broadly, and so if she gets into the 228 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: race too, that'll that'll make it interesting. But let's throw 229 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 4: up APAX response here. We have it in front of us. Apax, 230 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: says Representative Moulton is abandoning his friends to grab a 231 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: headline capitulating to the extremes rather than standing on conviction. 232 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: His statement, they should say business. 233 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: When are people going to start saying in statements rather 234 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 4: than standing on business. His statement comes after years of 235 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 4: him repeatedly asking for our endorsement and is a clear 236 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: message to APAC members in Massachusetts and millions of pro 237 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 4: Israel Democrats nationwide that he rejects their support. 238 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 7: And will not stand with them. 239 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean no laws detected throughout that he definitely 240 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: has been asking for their support. 241 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 7: And then to go back to. 242 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 4: Aman Moyal Deane's point, he's still voting for weapons for Israel, 243 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: which is still going to be a significant liability. But 244 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 4: I think the public would at least prefer if you're 245 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 4: doing that, at least you're doing it because you really 246 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: love sending weapons to a genocidal state and not because 247 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: member multiple Sick in this town has been the national 248 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 4: Security Democrats as he came to Washington. 249 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 3: I mean a lot of us, lot of people, we 250 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 3: don't follow this stuff day in and day out. I 251 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 3: remember in the old days when he was like, I'm 252 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: the national Security Democrat, right, And immediately after the election 253 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: he actually came out what did he say? He said 254 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: something about because I remember this is why this is 255 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: relevant to our next element. 256 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: I need to find it. 257 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 3: Why don't you put the next element operating so I'll 258 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: find exactly what we said. 259 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 4: And he tried to organize a challenge to Pelosi around 260 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 4: this kind of thing, So yeah, put up the Dave 261 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 4: Weigel element. Next, he says Senator at market facing a 262 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: challenge from Moulton where a trans writes flag during his 263 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: note king speech, and Wygel correctly adds the context here, 264 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 4: which is that Moulton said after the election he didn't 265 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 4: want his daughter's quote getting run over on a playing 266 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: field by a male or formerly male athlete unquote. 267 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 7: Saying that. 268 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: Democrats need to, you know, reorganize their position, particularly when 269 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: it comes to trans athletes and you know who plays 270 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: in which, yeah. 271 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 7: I have the full quote. 272 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: Democrats spend way too much time trying to offend anyone 273 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: other other than being brutally on about the challenges many 274 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: American space. 275 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: I have two little girls. 276 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 3: I don't want them getting run over on a playing 277 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: field by a male or formerly male athlete. As a Democrat, 278 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be afraid to say that. To be clear, 279 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: I firmly believe there was reasonable restrictions on transi or 280 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: athletes in competitive sports. Now, obviously I'm not a Democrat 281 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: in Massachusetts, so makes sense to me. But apparently that's 282 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 3: a very difficult position for some Democrats to take. 283 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 4: It's very interesting because that's it's like an eighty twenty 284 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 4: issue that where where you're talking about if you talk 285 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: about post puberty. Yeah, like eighty plus maybe ninety plus 286 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: percent of people will say that people should kids should 287 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: play in the sports where they're assigned generate birth. That 288 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: this that this idea where you're gonna have a high school. 289 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 4: It was like trans and switching. Like when it comes 290 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: to a general election, they're losing that terribly. It's very 291 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 4: interesting that Marky thinks that in a Democratic primary he's 292 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 4: going to win, He's gonna win this eighty twenty issue. 293 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 7: On the other side, it might be right, and he 294 00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 7: might be right. 295 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of trans retrenchment if you ask me, 296 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of interesting. We haven't been able 297 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: to cover it, but trans identification is at record lows already, 298 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: basically proving it's a social contagion. Sorry, yes, that's correct, 299 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: always has been. But the point actually broadly around the 300 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 3: transports issue and this is more of my political analysts 301 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: had on is. I could see how he would get 302 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: attacked for what's the language they always use, like throwing 303 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: trans people under the even though quite literally he's talking 304 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 3: about athletes. I could see how the activist and democratic 305 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: class would say that giving an inch in any way 306 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: to the Republicans on this issue is cowardly. Again, this 307 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: is not a general election point. This is a democratic primary. 308 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: And nobody will talk about this honestly though, because there 309 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 4: are a lot of transactivists who disagree with that and 310 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 4: who say it is wrong to die on this hill, 311 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: because if we die on this hill. 312 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 7: Then we're all getting swept away. 313 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 4: And there are plenty of trans people who are all 314 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: the eighty side of this eighty twenty issue like no, 315 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 4: like stop, like Leah Thomas should not be swimming against 316 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: other women, like whatever. Yeah, but I don't see a 317 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: lot of those people speaking up, Brian. They don't know 318 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: that that's that's the point. But if you talk to them, 319 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 4: either privately or yes, like but you're right, like well, listen, 320 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 4: I hope you win this conversation, they would find that 321 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: it is that there is not a monolithic kind of 322 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 4: transposition on. 323 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: This well, it doesn't seem that way with the activist class. 324 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: Again, we'll see. I don't know. 325 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not speaking. I'm being fairly certain that there. 326 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 3: I know, I don't remember exactly who. There was somebody 327 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: in the I think it was Emma Biglin who attacked 328 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: him over this, if I recall. Right, so there's going 329 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: to be some activist pressure Molten because this was the 330 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: very days after he got election. 331 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: He got hit by it. 332 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: Everybody. Yeah, but that's my question is politically in the 333 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 3: democratic basse Listen, I get it because a lot of 334 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: Republicans are like this too. They don't want to give 335 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: the enemy a single inch, right, They're like, no, we 336 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: fight together. We don't concede a single point of what 337 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 3: we got wrong or of what is unpopular. We just 338 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: continue to fight. I could see Markie making that into 339 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: an issue, but that this is the other thing where 340 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: issue and all of that aside. Shouldn't it just be 341 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: Pressley versus multi. I mean, dude, you're eighty years old, 342 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: like you need to leave you're going to be eighty. 343 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: Let me get his age exactly correctly, But I mean 344 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: this should be it's just completely seventy nine, right, he's 345 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: running for reelection, or at least for right now he 346 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: would be eighty six eighty seven when he ended is 347 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: termed why are we okay with that? I'm sorry, Like, 348 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: how are you going to beat the Kennedys and say 349 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: we don't have dynasties in this country? And then nearly 350 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: put put yourself in a position where statistically you're going 351 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 3: to die in office. It's so it's the height of 352 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: selfishness and all these people. Yeah, and I think Iana Pressley, 353 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: if you're watching, should just jumpeah you run and you 354 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: can take the trans Leah Thomas position, all right, and 355 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: then we can actually have a real debate and. 356 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 7: That might push it lay out. 357 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: Yeah maybe right, that would actually because that's when I 358 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: can't stand more than the trance thing.

It's disgusting, it actually is, 361 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: and it's so disrespectful. I think to the people of Massachusetts, 362 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: it's a blue it's a hard blue state. They deserve 363 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: to actually like have a raucous, interesting primary new generation 364 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: actual representation in their state. 365 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: That's who they are, right, I mean it's a. 366 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 3: Very productive state, a lot of history and all that, 367 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: and to have somebody who's that old, like, I'm sorry, 368 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: I know how the Senate works. 369 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: They don't work that hard for you.

What 404 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: she was able to uncover is that Matthew Menschell, who 405 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: was the chief of the Criminal Division of the Miami 406 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: US Attorney Office and helped negotiate Epstein's sweetheart deal which 407 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: allowed him to be released in two thousand and nine, 408 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: is listed multiple times as having dinner and meetings with 409 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: Epstein after leaving the US Attorney's office. So this is 410 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 3: a huge bombshell because this is years after his release. 411 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 4: Is a purse of that one, Yeah, go ahead, just 412 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: this is for context for later.

He goes, Oh, 456 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 3: I need to get in on this He's like, this 457 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: is a good deal right here. 458 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: By the way. 459 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 3: Speaking of that, as Ryan said, hold for Leon Black. 460 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: Leon. 461 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: I've talked about Leon from day one in the Epstein case. 462 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 3: It remains one of the most mystified. This is one 463 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: of the titans of Wall Street. Nine billion dollar net worth, 464 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty million dollar payment to to the 465 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein estate that has been revealed for quote tax advice. 466 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 3: Nobody knows why. He's been friends with him for decades. 467 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: Everybody he's defended his relationship with EPs He said he 468 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: had no idea put him on the board of his charities. 469 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: Decades long friendship. Well, Leon's emails with Jeffrey Epstein came out, 470 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: and they're pretty interesting, aren't they. 471 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: They say. Epstein was furious. 472 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: For years he had relied on Leon Black as his 473 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: primary source of income him on everything from taxes to 474 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: his world class art collection. By twenty sixteen, Black seemed 475 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: reluctant to keep paying him tens of millions of dollars 476 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: per year, so Epstein threw a tantrum. Epstein wrote in 477 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: an email to mister Black, quote he was another waste 478 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: of money in space, attacked mister Black's children as retarded 479 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 3: for supposedly making it that's relatable, making. 480 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: Of his state. 481 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 3: The typo ridden tirade was one of brief dozens of 482 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 3: previously unreported emails reviewed by The New York Times in 483 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: which Epstein hectored mister Black, demanding tens of millions of 484 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 3: dollars beyond one hundred and fifty million he had already 485 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: been paid. The pressure campaign Ryan appeared to work mister 486 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 3: Black for decades, who was one of the richest and 487 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: most high profile figures on Wall Street. Forked tens of 488 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: millions of dollars in fees and loans, albeit less than 489 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 3: mister Epstein had been seeking. Of all the relationships, his 490 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: friendship with mister Black is the most important. He served 491 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: jail time for soliciting prostitution. Mister Black kept him afloat 492 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: from many years. The new emails provide the most complete 493 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 3: picture yet of their relationship. Now to be clear, you know, 494 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: for legal purposes and with mister Black. I am simply 495 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: noting how shocking it is for a titan of Wall Street, 496 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: a private equity giant, one of the most well known 497 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: billionaires in the city of New York, how completely opposite 498 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: it is to the way that the Apollo Group and 499 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 3: others would conduct business to seemingly constantly just caving to 500 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: demands for tens of millions of dollars from Jeffrey. 501 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: That's all I am noting. 502 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: You can draw your own conclusion very specifically as to 503 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 3: why anybody would ever act like that, who made nine 504 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: billion dollars and doesn't conduct business that way. 505 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 4: In any other similar tone, similar tone, and I'm black 506 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 4: denies all. 507 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he blacks black. 508 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: Similar tone from the New York Times article that soccer 509 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 4: does put up they write and this is one of 510 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: those delightful sentences in the New York Times. 511 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 7: Echoing saga and quote. 512 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 4: And for reasons that are unknown, mister Black wired hundreds 513 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: of thousands of dollars to at least three women who 514 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 4: were associated with mister Epstein. According to court documents and 515 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 4: notes taken by congressional investigators that were shared with The Times, 516 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 4: Representatives of mister Black did not respond to questions about 517 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 4: those payments to women, So, in other words, he was 518 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 4: representatives responded to a bunch of other questions of the 519 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: time sent but ignored those questions. 520 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 7: So I like this phrase. 521 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: For reasons that are unknown, mister blackwired hundreds of thousand. 522 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 7: Dollars at least room.

To 536 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 3: imply mister Epstein somehow I had influence over mister Black 537 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: is false and patently absurd. Okay, to imply mister Epstein, 538 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 3: who demanded tens of millions of dollars and received tens 539 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: of millions of dollars and called his children retarded and 540 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 3: also hectored and berated him, to imply he had any 541 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 3: influence over mister Black, is false and patently absurd. 542 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: That's from Leon Black again. 543 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: These guys, you think you just get nine billion dollars, 544 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 3: You think somebody just hands it to you, No, you 545 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 3: get it by being a swashbuckling deal maker. 546 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: What if I was running the Apollo. 547 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: By the way, these guys are legends on Wall Street, 548 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: right Apollo? Does Apollo just let somebody who they're doing 549 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: a leverage buyout of demand certain terms of conditions. Is 550 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 3: that how you got nine billion dollars in net worth? No, 551 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 3: you would be a bankrupt Right, So we know he 552 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 3: knows how to do business and to say no, how 553 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 3: to say fuck you. That's literally part of being a 554 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: Wall Street financier. An he did event well, yeah, you 555 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 3: get to that ish, but the point remains something for 556 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: some unknown for reasons that remain unknown, that he continued 557 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 3: to hand him tens of millions of dollars. Okay, all right, 558 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 3: let's go to the next part here. This gets to 559 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: the interview with alex Acosta. I read the entire thing, 560 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 3: several hundred pages, kind of boring, to be honest, they 561 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 3: didn't do a very good job. But guys, please put 562 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: D three please up on the screen, just to show you. 563 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: The signature claim from alex Acosta is that any trial 564 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: of Jeffrey Epstein quote would have been a crapshoot. Now, 565 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: this is a central issue because remember, Alex Acosta is 566 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 3: a Labor secretary under Trump, he was the prosecutor who 567 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: did the sweetheart deal with Epstein. After he resigns as 568 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: a Labor secretary, the Office of Professional Review over the 569 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 3: Justice Department does an internal investigation of the Epstein non 570 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: prosecution agreement. They find that Alex Acosta in his office 571 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 3: acted improperly. Now, Acosta contents throughout this entire interview that 572 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 3: he did nothing wrong and they got the best possible deal. 573 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 3: Now remember the retroactive review by the DJ specifically says 574 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 3: that is not true. So they find fault with the 575 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 3: actions of his office. A Costa stands up for the 576 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: actions of his office, saying effectively blaming the victims, saying, oh, well, 577 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: they weren't credible enough to be able to bring them 578 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: to trial. By the way, remember that is in direct 579 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 3: controvers of what some of the agents and the other 580 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: people on the case said. So this is not one 581 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 3: hundred percent their view of the entire US Attorney's office. 582 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: It is the view of mister Acosta. 583 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: I will say, because there have been some sketchy questions 584 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 3: here around the claim previously that he had said he 585 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: belonged to intelligence he claims that he never said that. 586 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: He says, I never said it. So I want to 587 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 3: make that very clear, because that's a quote I've relied 588 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: on probably one of the most famous plays. So I 589 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 3: want to be clear that he now emphatically denies he said. 590 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 3: I never heard that from anybody. I didn't tell it 591 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 3: to Steve Bannon. I have no idea where that comes from. 592 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 3: So let's be clear that's what he said. Now, you know, 593 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: I've laid out my other case for why I do 594 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 3: think he was at the very least involved with multiple 595 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: foreign intelligence agencies. But nonetheless, alex Acosta says, there was 596 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: nothing untoward. I never had any indication he was intelligence 597 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: or whatever. Nobody told me what to do, which, by 598 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: the way, again that doesn't fit with some of the 599 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: past timeline. Like the previous timeline was that Washington actually 600 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 3: made a phone call around this from the DOJ. 601 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you have to get very dark and 602 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: into the weeds on this. 603 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 3: I think the fundamental premise, though, is even if we 604 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 3: take all the intel stuff out of it and we 605 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: just keep it focused on the victims, he basically was 606 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 3: victim blaming throughout the entirety. 607 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: He said, yeah, they were incredible. 608 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: They made stuff up MySpace page, they were sketchy, and 609 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: so that's why the sweetheart deal is the best that 610 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: we could possibly get. Again, that's totally disputed. So his 611 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: mindset around it does not seem conciliatory at all. He 612 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: still continues to defend his conduct Ryan, which I personally 613 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: find disgusting. Intelligence Now if anything is worse, I'm like, oh, 614 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: so he just you know, they didn't believe them. He 615 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 3: even says in there he goes, he goes, well, the 616 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 3: times were different. People didn't believe women at that time. 617 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: I was like, so you're blaming the culture that what 618 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: is this? It was crazy? 619 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 7: And the. 620 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: If you look through his his emails and his and 621 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 4: the different appointments that he had, what what you realize 622 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 4: is that Jeffrey Epstein knew everybody, Like he had pull 623 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 4: with Russian oligarchs, Russian you know, top the top Russians, 624 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: the Israelis, Europeans, Americans in both parties, like and also 625 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 4: Wall Street and like the banking world. Like he was 626 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 4: at the middle of all of this stuff, and he 627 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: had people who owed him and who he was willing 628 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 4: to rate at the top levels everywhere, and so the 629 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 4: idea that a minimum he didn't call in favors and 630 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: that his powerful friends and doing anything for him just 631 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: is not remotely credible. Yep like that, like even if 632 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 4: you don't think, even if you dismissed the intel part, 633 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: but also to me, the intel part is a bit 634 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 4: of a red herring because what we've found going through 635 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 4: all of these emails, he was absolutely doing work for 636 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 4: people that are in the orbits of this intel world. 637 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: Which only backs up everything that we've said is no 638 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: one has said he was an agent force and how 639 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: the world works, Yeah, exactly, That's what we kept trying 640 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: to explain. There are these fixers. There are these shady characters. 641 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 3: If you live here in DC, you're familiar with them. 642 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: They do contracts for Russia, they do contracts for Qatar, 643 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 3: for the UA. They're hired guns.

She'd lived 665 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 3: a very troubled life. She famously was pictured in that 666 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: photo with Prince Andrew and in her new memoir, which 667 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 3: was post hostmulantly released, she says she was quote beaten 668 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: raped by a well known prime minister in attack that 669 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 3: broke the Epstein spell.

Which prime minister? 675 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: Who was it? And in fact it doesn't even appear 676 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: in the lead paragraph. You have to go all the 677 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: way down past three different advertisements to say that. In past, however, 678 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: she had pointed to Israeli Prime Minister Awod Brock. Now 679 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: to be clear, mister Brock denies it. And also to 680 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 3: be clear, yes, VIRGINIAU. Frey was a very troubled woman 681 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: and she did certainly say some things in the past 682 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 3: which did not turn out to be true. 683 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 7: Sure, so she's attracted. 684 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: Whether she has retracted, yeah, which she personally has retracted. 685 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 3: So all appropriate caveats and all of that said, you 686 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 3: should not necessarily take it to the bank. But the 687 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 3: one thing nobody can ever get away from is the 688 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 3: photo exists of her as a very young girl with 689 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 3: her arm around Prince Andrew. And that photo, I'm sorry, 690 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 3: you can't make it disappear, you just can't.

His fee to 734 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 4: Leon Black was forty million a year. He said, I 735 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 4: want twenty five upfront. Other times he would say I 736 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 4: want twenty upfront, twenty in January, twenty in July. That's 737 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: what he was getting cranky about, Like where is my 738 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 4: forty million dollars? 739 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 7: This is a guy who has no tax licenses. 740 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 4: He's not even allowed to give tax advice without saying, 741 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 4: I can't give tax advice. Charging forty million dollars to 742 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: give tax advice. 743 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and his state planning and Arsten and almost. 744 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such great taste, right, like the photo of 745 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton in a fucking dress, Like, come on, what 746 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 3: a joke. Turning down to Ukraine, we wanted to make 747 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 3: sure we gave everyone an update. It's still some major 748 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 3: developments here. President Trump reverting back to his original position. 749 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 3: Ukraine has to give up some land in a peace deal. 750 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 3: Let's take a listen. 751 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 11: Fridday, he said, you got a cordial meeting with President 752 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 11: Seletski during that During that meeting, did you tell him 753 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 11: he needed to seed all of the Donbass region to Russia. 754 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 12: No, we never discussed it. We think that what they 755 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 12: should do is just stop at the lines where they are. 756 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 12: The battle line a battle line right now. The rest 757 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 12: is very tough to negotiate. If you're going to say 758 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 12: you take this, we take that. You know, there's so 759 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 12: many different permutations. So what I say is they should 760 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 12: stop right now at the battle lines, go home, stop 761 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 12: killing people, and be done. 762 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: What do you think should happened with the Godbas region? 763 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 12: Let it be cut the way it is cut up 764 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 12: right now. I think seventy eight percent of the land 765 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 12: is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way 766 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 12: it is right now. They can they can negotiate something 767 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 12: later on down the line. But I said cut and 768 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 12: stop at the battle I go home, stop fighting, stop 769 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 12: killing people. 770 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: So that's the position today. 771 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, Ryan he said that they 772 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 3: could take back all of crime yet so I don't know. 773 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: Nobody knows what's going on here. 774 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 3: Let's put this up here on the screen from a 775 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 3: recent you know, this, by the way, very interesting. Not 776 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 3: only that Zelenski and Trump met, but did anyone notice 777 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 3: there was no joint press conference, There was no joint meeting, 778 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 3: there was no statement afterwards by the president. Zelensky slunk 779 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 3: in and he's slunk out. And the reasons why is 780 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 3: from the Financial Times quote, Donald Trump urged Zelenski to 781 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 3: accept putinstorm or quote be destroyed by Russia. The meeting 782 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 3: descended many times quote into a shouting match, with Trump 783 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 3: cursing all the time. They added that the President tossed 784 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: aside maps of the frontline, insisted Zelenski surrender the dunboss 785 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 3: to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points that the Russian 786 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 3: leader had made in their call a day earlier. Now 787 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: you know, obviously that is coming straight out of Zelenski's 788 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 3: mouth to the Financial Times, And we don't really know 789 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 3: which way it's going to go, but it's just pretty 790 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: obvious that this is the only way this was ever 791 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 3: going to end. You have the military power, I mean, 792 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 3: the current US intelligence estimate apparently I don't know if 793 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 3: I believe this, but let's say it's directionally correct. Is 794 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand people have been killed since January of 795 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Do you see a single crack in 796 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 3: Russian society? They don't care. Now, I don't get it, 797 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 3: all right, If one hundred thousand of my guys were 798 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 3: killed for some bullshit like this, yeah I would riot. 799 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. For some reason, they have a different 800 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 3: society over there, be it propaganda, maybe they believe in it. 801 00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: Who knows. 802 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 3: But the point is their economy is doing well. I 803 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 3: don't see a single crack in their society. Putin seems 804 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 3: humming along more than ever before. They can throw as 805 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 3: many bodies into this as we want. And Zelensky's like, oh, 806 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 3: we need long range missiles. That's going to make up 807 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 3: the manpower deficit. You guys have sixty year olds on 808 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 3: the front line. It's not going to happen right from 809 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 3: day one. So we're back to this, and yet even 810 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 3: this morning, this is what I love about covering this administration. 811 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 3: What do I see? Marco Rubio's call did not go 812 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: well with Saragai Lavrov, and the potential meeting with Budapest 813 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 3: and Budapest with Putin may not happen because Russia has 814 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 3: not backed off it's maximalist position. So Trump says they 815 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 3: need to surrender, but Russia hasn't backed off it's maximal's position. 816 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 3: So we're stuck right back from where we came from. 817 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 3: They can't get their hands around this. Something like Israel 818 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 3: Gaza needs to happen, where they're like, yeah, we just 819 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 3: got to have to talk to Mos, like you just 820 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 3: have to accept the unacceptable. And when that happens, yeah, 821 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 3: you can actually get something done. 822 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 7: Yeah. 823 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 4: And Trump also said on Putin as a Zelenski, they 824 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 4: hate each other and it makes it a little bit difficult. 825 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 7: And then he so added, but it doesn't affect us. 826 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 11: Right. 827 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 7: He really thought this. 828 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 4: Was going to be extremely easy. You know, it wouldn't 829 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 4: happen if he was president, according to him. Once therefore, 830 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 4: once he becomes president, it's going to end that hasn't happened. 831 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 4: And he's just flailing at this point, as he told 832 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 4: as Politico says Trumps. So Trump says he's going to 833 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 4: meet again with Putin to discuss it. He's going to 834 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 4: go back to that. And the Budapest location is interesting, 835 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 4: and it flows into this funny exchange between s Vi Date, 836 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 4: a Post reporter and is Caroline Levitt or yes, Caroline, 837 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 4: I'll read the text first. So sv reaches out. Is 838 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 4: the president aware of the significance of Budapest? In nineteen 839 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 4: ninety four Russia promised in Budapest not to invade Ukraine 840 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 4: if it gave up the nuclear weapons it inherited when 841 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 4: the Soviet Union dissolved? Does he not see why Ukraine 842 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 4: might object that to that site who suggested Budapest. 843 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 7: Thanks your mom, did. 844 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's funny, but it's not that funny. 845 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: Yah? 846 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 7: He said, I'm gonna laugh at any morey. 847 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, he says, is this funny to you? And she said, 848 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 4: it's funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journalist. 849 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 4: You're a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including 850 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 4: your colleagues in the media. They just don't tell you 851 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 4: that to your face. Stop texting me. You're disingenuous, biased 852 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 4: and bs questions. As far as I know, that's not 853 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 4: the press cords understanding of my former colleague s sv so. 854 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 4: Then Caroline herself posted it for context. Sv of the 855 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 4: Hufting post is not a journalist interested in the facts. 856 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 4: The left wing hacked what she already said in there. 857 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 4: Just take a look at his feet. It reads like 858 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 4: an anti Trump personal diary. He is pretty anti Trump, 859 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 4: no doubt about that. He had Okay, let's be honest. 860 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 4: He is TS. 861 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 3: I cover the white I cover the he's pretty he's TDS. 862 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 3: Probably listen, I don't care, all right, He's allowed to 863 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 3: do whatever he want with anti Trump. Yeah, he's full blown. 864 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 3: I remember him in the press corps. 865 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: I got nothing. Listen, I respect the dog guys. 866 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: Anybody who wants to sit there and fire off questions 867 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 3: of the press secretary, that's your job, your mom jokes. Yeah, 868 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 3: pretty immature. Not a good look for you in my opinion. 869 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I. 870 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: Don't know what else to say. 871 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 3: Why don't you could just ignore it? Nobody said that 872 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 3: you have to respond to the question. It is a 873 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 3: legitimate question. I would tell sv to his face that 874 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 3: the premise itself is retarded based on this whole idea 875 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 3: of the Budapest memory is that they deserve You. 876 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 4: Know why Zelenski doesn't want to do Budapest, Because no, 877 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 4: he doesn't want to do Budapest because Orbon is the 878 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 4: only person in. 879 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 3: The EU who has a very different view of the 880 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 3: Ukraine conflict. Right, And actually, I mean a lot of 881 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 3: people forget this. There are ethnic Hungarians who lived in Ukraine. 882 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 3: I saw many of them who are Ukrainian citizens, because 883 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 3: when I visited Budapest, they're all living in Budapest now 884 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 3: and they don't want to fight in the war, which 885 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 3: is very instructive, isn't it. But the point just broadly 886 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 3: around Budapest as the location is because Trump has a 887 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 3: great relationship with Orbon and Orbon has a good relationship 888 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 3: with Putin, so it would be neutral Ish territory for 889 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 3: the two of them to meet. I do understand the 890 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 3: cross but also, what do they expect Putin to meet 891 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: in Berlin? Like what do you guys? Are we joking? 892 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 12: Like? 893 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: Yes? 894 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 3: Where other than Alaska, which was actually good because it 895 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 3: was halfway it's still on US territory. Or they could 896 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 3: go meet in lat of Astok or something like that. 897 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know, for somebody that doesn't want 898 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 3: to go to Russia. Yeah, Beijing, Well that would be 899 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 3: a real statement, actually, if that would be the broken ground. 900 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 3: Budapest seems as good as any of a place to 901 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 3: meet doctor. 902 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 7: You know you love this time. 903 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 3: Uh beautiful, hey, beautiful city. I recommend everybody go. Gorgeous. 904 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 3: Joining us now is David dan He is the executive 905 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 3: editor of The American Prospect and a great friend of 906 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 3: the show. It's good to see you, David. Thank you 907 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 3: so much for joining us. Thanks for having me on. So, David, 908 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 3: I have been fascinated by this term of vendor finance. 909 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 3: I didn't realize, you know, I'm too young to actually 910 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 3: remember dot com. But luckily we have experts like you 911 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 3: who can go through and can write all about how 912 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 3: we're just living through the exact same crazy scenario. But 913 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 3: before we actually even get to that, we wanted to 914 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 3: get reaction to the Amazon Web service crash that just happened, 915 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 3: which highlights this architecture which runs our entire economy, our 916 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 3: entire digital life, and a single point of failure. Literally 917 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 3: a prospect of what it's like to live under monopoly. 918 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 3: Let's put this up here on the screen. You know, everybody, 919 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 3: especially here on the East Coast, woke up immediately. Multiple 920 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 3: apps are not working, huge at outage. You had banks, 921 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 3: you had music services, so many different things where you 922 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 3: had the single point of failure from a single server 923 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 3: here in northern. 924 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: Virginia, in our area. 925 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 3: And I mean just from a monopoly point of view, David, 926 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 3: and especially the fact that their stock went up even 927 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 3: after the crash, what does that tell you about this 928 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 3: world that we live in. 929 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 13: Well, I'm painfully aware of it because we couldn't get 930 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 13: our newsletters out yesterday. Yeah, they've run on with a 931 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 13: company that was involved in the mess. Yeah, I mean 932 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 13: I'd go back to a different recession, which is the 933 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 13: Great Recession of two thousand and eight, which was characterized 934 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 13: by what is known as tight coupling. In other words, 935 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 13: the banks were all tied in with one another, and 936 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 13: so when there was a failure in the mortgage back 937 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 13: mortgage sorry, mortgage backed securities market, that cascaded throughout the 938 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 13: rest of the economy. And you know, you see similar 939 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 13: couplings here with respect to the cloud service with the Internet, 940 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 13: and it's a really dangerous situation obviously because it's not 941 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 13: just my newsletter and Netflix and things like that that 942 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 13: are on there, but actually really important things on the 943 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 13: cloud that people need to have every day, you. 944 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 4: Know, like healthcare technology would be the first that I 945 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 4: would think of, like is the kind of thing you 946 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 4: don't want to go down? 947 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 7: Transportation as well? 948 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 4: How did and then and then we'll get into the 949 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 4: other reporting because it very much is related. How do 950 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 4: you think AI and crypto and blockchain played into. 951 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 7: Played into this crash? 952 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 4: And you know, it was concentrated in Virginia that apparently 953 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 4: the dea sence uh finishes like writing here in Virginia, 954 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 4: which also happens, I don't know what's coincidence, also happens 955 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 4: to be where the CIA and a lot of the 956 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 4: other infrastructure around. You know, surveillance and back doors is 957 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 4: as well, so you've got you've got the surveillance AI 958 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 4: blockchain and then monopoly. Like, what do you think is 959 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 4: a driving factor here that produced this cascading collapse. 960 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 13: Well, Virginia is maybe the data center. Uh, you know 961 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 13: head of the entire country. H there, there is a 962 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 13: tremendous amount of data centers there and you know it 963 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 13: stands to reason because there's so much compute needs. I 964 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,280 Speaker 13: just think that when you layer on and layer on 965 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 13: onto these systems and AWS is the biggest cloud infrastructure 966 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 13: that we have in the world. And when you just 967 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 13: keep adding and adding and adding to it, you do 968 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 13: create these single points of failure. You do create the 969 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 13: ability for things to break down and they have bigger 970 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 13: consequences when that happens. You see this in airlines that 971 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 13: were one glitch creates thousands of delays on flights. It's 972 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 13: the same kind of dynamic. 973 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of this really gets to the heart 974 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 3: of what I wanted to talk to you about. Can 975 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 3: we go ahead and put G three up on the 976 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 3: screen and you write about these circular finance deals that 977 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 3: continue to see in the economy this prospect of vendor finance, 978 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 3: where basically what happens is you sign a deal with 979 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 3: the company, they give you a part of that company. 980 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,959 Speaker 3: The stock goes up, which effectively erases the so called 981 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 3: price that you paid. Billions of so called value have 982 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 3: been created, but nothing has actually happened, been produced and 983 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 3: orban paid. It doesn't seem to make any sense, but 984 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 3: it's fueling the rise of all of these different companies. 985 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 3: And it's even more importantly we talk about single point 986 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 3: of failure. It's the only reason our stock market is 987 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 3: up at all. Without it, we would be in a recession. 988 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, something like eighty percent of the stock gains this 989 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 13: year are related to AI link companies and something I've 990 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 13: heard another stat that data center infrastructure build out is 991 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 13: responsible for maybe fifty percent of the gains in GDP. 992 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,399 Speaker 13: So obviously we've put a big bet on AI and 993 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 13: companies like in Vidia in particular, but there are others, 994 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 13: these big companies that sell things. They sell in the 995 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 13: case of in Vidio GPUs, which are the high end 996 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 13: chips that run these AI data centers. They need customers, 997 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 13: so what they're doing is actually creating their own demand, 998 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 13: they sell or they invest in companies startup companies, whether 999 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,720 Speaker 13: they are companies that make data centers like core weave, 1000 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 13: or even companies that make AI models, because in Video 1001 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 13: just did a huge deal with open Ai for one 1002 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 13: hundred billion dollars. So they invest in these companies, and 1003 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 13: then these companies turn around and use that money to 1004 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 13: build data centers which need GPUs, which in video makes 1005 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 13: so it's really circular. I've heard it called round tricking 1006 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 13: as well, and our contributor at The Prospect, Brian McMahon 1007 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 13: referred to it as the oroborus, the snake eating its 1008 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 13: own tail. 1009 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 4: So help me understand how this keeps going, because I 1010 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 4: want to try to, it's very hard for me to 1011 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 4: get my head around this. So let's say I run 1012 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 4: an apple orchard, right, and I make a ton of apples, 1013 00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 4: but nobody wants to buy my apples. 1014 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,919 Speaker 7: So I take money that I. 1015 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 4: Have and I give it to my neighbor, and my 1016 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 4: neighbor uses the money to buy my apples. So now 1017 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 4: I have the same amount of money that I started with, 1018 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 4: but I don't have my apples anymore. Right, Explain to 1019 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 4: me that this doesn't just all end in tears. 1020 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 13: There are all these people on the sidelines that say, oh, 1021 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 13: you have you created another uh, you know, demand for 1022 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 13: your apples, and so we're going to give you more 1023 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 13: money because you're obviously running a very good business where. 1024 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 7: You have a lot of I've buildled my mind, more 1025 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 7: money is coming in. 1026 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 13: That's that's the stock market, right That's that's investors on 1027 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 13: the sidelines saying this sounds good. In video, you're you're 1028 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:50,320 Speaker 13: creating your own demand and so uh, it's it doesn't 1029 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 13: stop until the music stops. 1030 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 7: And we've seen this before. 1031 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 3: As as as a cigar alluded to. 1032 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 13: In the nineteen nineties, there was an infrastructure build out 1033 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:05,280 Speaker 13: out of you know, fiber infrastructure was needed for the web, 1034 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 13: and Cisco was really the company at the center of it, 1035 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 13: and they were engaging in this vendor financing for these 1036 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 13: startups that were creating you know, fiber opts to layout 1037 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 13: and it was all great until it turned out that 1038 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 13: nobody really needed pets dot com anymore. And at that 1039 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 13: point Cisco lost eighty percent of its value. So we 1040 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 13: have been here before. It sounds great and it works 1041 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 13: great until it doesn't. We don't know when that time's 1042 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 13: going to be. If I knew that I would I 1043 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 13: would be very rich ment. But what we know is 1044 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 13: that it doesn't feel like it can last forever. 1045 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: So that's my last question, David. 1046 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 3: One way I've been kind of coping on why it 1047 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 3: won't is the economy, in my opinion, was a lot 1048 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 3: more real in nineteen ninety nine. 1049 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: You know, in two thousand, like you know, we actually 1050 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: did build it up. 1051 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,240 Speaker 3: We you know, it wasn't great, it was still financialized, 1052 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 3: but it was still there was something actually happening in 1053 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,760 Speaker 3: the US economy. Now, this is it like if eighty 1054 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 3: percent and eighty percent of stock gains and fifty percent 1055 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 3: of JATA center is GDP, the system cannot afford a crash. Now, 1056 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 3: that hasn't necessarily stopped it before. But why wouldn't they 1057 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 3: just pull out all the stops, as say, actually know 1058 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 3: the crash is not happening because our entire economic livelihood 1059 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 3: depends on it. 1060 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 13: It's certainly possible that that's only that's only operative if 1061 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 13: you believe in the day, if you believe that there's 1062 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 13: no other force that can can thrust reality into being. 1063 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 13: I mean, the similarities people are making a lot of 1064 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 13: connections to nineteen ninety, the nineteen nineties and the dot 1065 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 13: com build out. And by the way, you can have 1066 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 13: a buildout of a physical good but still have it 1067 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 13: end with a financial crash. I mean, railroads had bubbles 1068 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,280 Speaker 13: when they were being built out. The trans Continental Railroad 1069 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 13: led to the Panic of eighteen seven, twenty three, and 1070 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 13: things like this that were really terrible depressions. So technologies 1071 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 13: can be useful, but the financing behind them can still 1072 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,919 Speaker 13: be really, really bad. And so I relate this as 1073 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 13: much to the financial crisis as I do to the 1074 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 13: dot com build out. And there are even some of 1075 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 13: the same players. Ryan right might remember the name Magnetar. 1076 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 13: They were a hedge fund that they would basically build 1077 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 13: these mortgage backed securities and then bet against them. 1078 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,240 Speaker 7: This is like right at the end of the bubble. 1079 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,399 Speaker 13: Magnetar is the leading institutional investor in core Weave, one 1080 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 13: of these companies that builds data centers. 1081 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 7: Yes, they never went away. 1082 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 13: And so here we are twenty years later, close to 1083 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 13: twenty years later, and core Weave is at the heart. 1084 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 13: This is one of these companies that they've never made 1085 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 13: any money, but they have a lot of investment and 1086 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 13: it's kind of wily coyote, not looking down at the 1087 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:05,479 Speaker 13: ground and seeing nothing situation. And so when I heard 1088 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 13: Magnetar was involved, I got I got heart palpitations a 1089 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 13: little bit. 1090 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 3: Wow. 1091 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 4: And Zuckerberg, actually, I'm sure you noticed this. He brought 1092 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 4: up the railroad example himself. You know, he said, you know, 1093 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 4: just like in the railroad example, you know, this was 1094 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 4: infrastructure that was needed, and there was a huge bubble 1095 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 4: and a lot of rail lines got built that went 1096 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 4: to nowhere because you know, the companies went bankrupt, and 1097 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 4: you know, there was just money to be made in 1098 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 4: saying that you were going to build a railroad, and 1099 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 4: then money money would come in, you'd pay off the 1100 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 4: politicians who would then give you the easements, and you 1101 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 4: pay the politicians off in stock in the railroad. That 1102 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 4: was some of those those big scandals at the time. 1103 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 4: And then the bubble popped and as Zuckerberg said, and 1104 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 4: a lot of companies got wiped out, but we had 1105 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 4: some rail lines laid down, and then the oligarchs could 1106 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,080 Speaker 4: come in and buy up cheap assets, which also, as 1107 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 4: Zuckerberg said, so what's going to happen From Zuckerberg's perspective, 1108 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 4: there will be a bust. I don't know if it'll 1109 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 4: be as bad as like they you know, eighteen seventy 1110 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 4: three or the eighteen nineties, but then the oligarchs that 1111 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 4: survive come in and buy up everything for very cheap 1112 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 4: and then kind of do it all again. And you know, 1113 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 4: it took us until the Progressive era and then the 1114 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 4: New Deal to sort that out. I don't know if 1115 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 4: we're on a shortened time frame or what this time around. 1116 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,799 Speaker 13: Well, I mean, certainly if you think about what would 1117 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 13: happen in the aftermath of something like this popping, and 1118 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,879 Speaker 13: the pop can come from any any way, whether it's 1119 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 13: China coming up with models that turns out they don't 1120 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 13: need a ton of infrastructure to be built to do, 1121 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 13: or you know, we find out that AI has a 1122 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 13: plateau and it's you know, cat videos, aren't you know, 1123 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 13: God in the machine? Whatever it is, what do we 1124 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 13: think if it happens under this administration? We were pretty 1125 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,279 Speaker 13: sure that there's probably going to be a bailout of 1126 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 13: some sort, because you know, we're we're seeing it right 1127 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 13: now and farming.
