The audio you crying, there's suns 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: in my eyes. What were they see? 31 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to tell because the tugue at your heartstrings 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: trying to make you cry about a potato chip is 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: not many notches away from willing to be willing to 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: put a bald eagle on your on your product, AMRCA. Yeah, yeah, 35 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the halftime show sent a different message, Budweiser. 36 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: Everything's ruined in the modern world. 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: I finally saw the video of the streaker that ran 38 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: on the field, which of course they did not show 39 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: during the broadcast during the second half of the Super Bowl. 40 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: But because every plenty in Knudedy it's a half time. 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, but because everybody there's got a cell phone, 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: there's lots of videos. 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: So I just finally looked at him. He's wearing pants. 44 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: That's how bad things are in America right now. Our 45 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: streakers wear pants. What's happened to what has happened. 46 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: In this country? 47 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: So it's just a shirtless guy running in his pants 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: and socks, and then one of and they can't catch 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: him because he's pretty fast. And then one of the 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: defensive backs for the Patriots goes screaming after him, and 51 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: he closes fast as you would expect him to, yes, 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: and then the guy slides on the ground like a 53 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: quarterback trying to avoid getting hit because he realizes, oh, 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: I cannot run this guy. And then a bunch of 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: people jump on him, so he didn't get the whoopan man, 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: if he had taken one more step, that Patriot was 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: gonna put a serious I'm frustrated at. 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: This game, right whooping on him? You would wait for 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: you to run around the field, jackass. 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: You would not want a twenty two year old professional 61 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: defensive back to hit you at full speed while you're 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: running across the field. 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: That one. 64 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: We're wearing a helmet and shoulder pads that can hurt 65 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: the rest of your life. 66 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: So you ever walked again? Yeah? No kidding. I want 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: to get this off my chest. 68 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it in Spanish so the new fans 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: of the NFL can understand me. 70 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: L NFL Esta muerta parami. The NFL is dead to me, Well, 71 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: I doubt it. You're gonna keep watching games. 72 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: I took a couple of years off after the George 73 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: Floyd madness, but then I kind of came back like 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: a junkie and put up with the idiotic. It takes 75 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: all of us on the backs of helmets, meaningless greeting card, rhetoric, 76 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: gesturing to the woke. 77 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: Whatever. 78 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: But no, now they've punched me in the face again. 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: Ghose times is too many. 80 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: So we got a number of texts agreeing with us 81 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: about a halftime show, and brief version is, I'm not 82 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: complaining about the music, because that's every year. You know, 83 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: different people have different tastes in music, and it is 84 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: the worst because you don't like that kind of music. 85 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: I don't do that kind of complaining. It's just, you know, whatever, 86 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: different tastes. 87 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: But to have it in a different language and not 88 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: even make an effort to have me involved, I found 89 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: really actually offensive. And we got this text, I love 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: how much the halftime show bothered you to poor fragile 91 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Joe and Jack. It was your worst nightmare Multicultural America. 92 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: The horror. 93 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: My suggestion to help you feel better, go watch Trump's 94 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: video depicting Obama and Michelle as apes. That should soothe 95 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: your racist ditch. Can't wait until the midterms. 96 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: So that's a trolling, a non argument, and see a 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 3: false comparison. So to reject Trump's Obama video is to 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: embrace an entirely Spanish super Bowl halftime show. You, my friend, 99 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: have only anger and vitriol and not the capacity to 100 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: think with your brain. 101 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: I pity you, sore. 102 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: There was some sort of effort message going with the 103 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl halftime show, obviously, because I did some research. 104 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: I thought, how many people in America speak only Spanish? 105 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Because lots and lots of people speak Spanish, but they 106 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: also speak English. And the best at I could come 107 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: up with, from Gallup to Census Bureau and everything like that, 108 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: putting it all together, the most generous is eight percent. 109 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: It's single digits. It's probably closer to like two or 110 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: three percent. And as Joe said, that crowd probably wasn't 111 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: watching the super Bowl, so that I must point out, 112 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: you could have watched it on Telemundo. True, so there's 113 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: like practically nobody watching that halftime show that only speaks Spanish. 114 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Yet they put it in Spanish only, including the little 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: still picture at the beginning of the musical play, that 116 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: would have described for me what I was about to see, 117 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: so at least I could try to follow along. But 118 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: you put that in Spanish without subtitles. You wouldn't even 119 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: put subtitles on that for ninety eight percent of your 120 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: audience who doesn't speak Spanish. 121 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: So what is the message there? I think it's unmistakable, Yes, Katie. 122 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: I'm seeing videos popping up of shots from inside the 123 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: stadium during the halftime show, and everybody has is just 124 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: standing there with their arms crossed. Most of them, I 125 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: would imagine, I'd say a good eighty percent of them. 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: Are probably because the vast majority of them are English speakers. 127 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Well again, you'd have to be a Spanish 128 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: only speaker too to. 129 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: Think that was necessary. I don't understand. 130 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: Interestingly, Jim Garritty of the National Review, who's a very 131 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: reasonable chap points out that there is Daddy. You may 132 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: recall we talked about this showing the Taylor Swift effect 133 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: on viewership of Chiefs games and advertising rates and stuff 134 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: like that, and she generated hundreds of millions of dollars 135 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: for the NFL across all equivalent brand values. I don't 136 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: doubt that a bit radio, digital, news, print, news, et cetera. 137 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: And he goes into a bit of detail on that. 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: Now you can quibble with the particular numbers, but there's 139 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: no doubt that a whole lot of Taylor Swift fans 140 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: start buying Travis Kelce jerseys and watching the game who 141 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: otherwise would not have made those purchases or watched those games. 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: Whether we like football, whether we football fans like it 143 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: or not, Goodell in the league are going to continue 144 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: to try to sell the game to people who aren't 145 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: that into football. Next year, the NFL is going to 146 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: play nine regular season games in overseas stadiums Australia, Brazil, Paris, Munich, Spain, 147 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: Mexico City, three games in London. Goodell, seemingly with the 148 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: consent of the owners, is determined to turn the NFL 149 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: into a global game. And he doesn't just mean geographically, 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 3: it means across all demographics and corners of society. 151 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: So that's it. 152 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a parable involving a goose that 153 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: could lay golden eggs that because they're counting on you 154 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: won't care that one of your team's home games that 155 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: you would have gone to won't exist because it'll be 156 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: in another country. 157 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: You'll still watch because you love. 158 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: Football so much. That's what they're counting on, and they 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: might be right. They might be right, and they'll turn 160 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: it into a you know, I don't know what the 161 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: numbers are.

So I guess that was a bruner. 331 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: I identified her by her tattoos. 332 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: Well, good for you, No, but I didn't know that. 333 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know how to fit into the story 334 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: because I don't know what the story was because I 335 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: don't speak Spanish. 336 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: So that's an interesting development. 337 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: And why is Green Day singing American idiot before the 338 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? 339 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: Green Day? I don't know. But do you know the 340 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: words of that song? They're America haters. 341 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: That's not really an America hating song for the super Bowl, 342 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: the biggest audience. 343 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: Of the year. That's not sometimes George Bush, what Armstrong 344 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: and Getty. 345 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: So I was trying to find the audio clip of 346 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: Lindsey Vaughn crashing, but I know that was a really 347 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: big story. Yes, today as she attempted to ski down 348 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: that dang hill, having completely blown on her ACL a 349 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: week ago. 350 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: Man, oh man? Was that was that? Uh? 351 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: Was that bravery and guts? Or was that just really 352 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: really ill advised? 353 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: She did two successful training runs, but when she was, 354 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 3: you know, hell bent for speed in the official competition, 355 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 3: she wiped out bad So a. 356 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: Week after blow up completely blowing on her acls, she 357 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: skis in a couple of seconds into her run, she 358 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: crashes breaks a bone in her leg. Report say she 359 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: was screaming as she slid down the hill in pain. 360 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Then was helicoptered out of there, and they keep reporting 361 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: it as and she had surgery and things are looking good. 362 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: Well that's good to hear. 363 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: Good forward. Can you imagine how painful that'd be? 364 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: Your your blown ACL had to hurt like hell because 365 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: your legs got all twisted every which direction. And then 366 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: the additional broken bone which caused her to scream as 367 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: she slid down the hill. I watched it live during 368 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: during the day actually, and the NBC actually hit the 369 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: delay because they didn't want to show the crash. I 370 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: didn't haven't seen the crash, and they're not replaying it 371 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: on NBC News. But some of the pictures I've seen 372 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: with her legs twist a different direction. It looks pretty gruesome. 373 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: Oh goodness, man, So here's a nice transition. This is 374 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: substantially more charming. I happened to play golf yesterday with 375 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: a friend who has a close family slash friend relationship 376 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: with a figure skating coach of great Renn has worked 377 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: with champions and stuff like that, and worked with the 378 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: ice dancing team, the American ice dancing team that's done 379 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: so beautifully so far at the Olympics, and was talking 380 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: to the gal. 381 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: It's a husband wife team. Interestingly, it's kind of a 382 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: funny story. The guy and my friend's wife were dancing 383 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 3: at this bar they were at, and he was popping 384 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: down in drinks with a little ice skating gal who 385 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: was hanging with him anyway. But he was asking her 386 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: about her career because if you watch the ice age 387 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: dancing or the pairs figure skating there, they just throw 388 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 3: the woman in the air, she spins and he catches 389 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 3: her and blah blah blah, what does that look like 390 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: when you're not very good at it? When you're trying 391 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: to get good at it? And she was telling stories 392 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 3: about that. 393 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: She said, I spent my entire youth black and blue. 394 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: I'd have to imagine. 395 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: I saw a clip a quad God talking about like 396 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: the backflip stuff that he did in competition last night, 397 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: and he said, you have to completely commit to it 398 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: every time, because if you even just a tiny bit 399 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: don't completely commit to it, you're gonna land on your 400 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: head and break your neck. 401 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: Wow, And I'm sure that's true. I've always wondered that 402 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: on a lot of that stuff. How do you work 403 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: up to it? 404 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: Like the big ski jump? What's the what's the I 405 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: can't do this so you can do it? The in 406 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: between part? 407 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: What is that? 408 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 3: I'm guessing they've got different sizes right skill levels. At 409 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: the few places around the globe where they would have 410 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 3: that sort of thing, there must be or you're you're 411 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: attached to wires or something like that, because otherwise you'd 412 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 3: try it, break both your legs, recover for a year, miss. 413 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: Your concussion, then try it again that right eye, Yeah, 414 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: then try it again. 415 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: It'd be very slow process. Can't even imagine. 416 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: I got to read this one text just because we've 417 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: been talking about a halftime show so much. We got 418 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: a lot of these, Hey guys, The Turning Point halftime 419 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: show was so nice. If he didn't know this Turning 420 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 1: Point USA, the group that Charlie Kirk started and then 421 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: he got assassinated and now his wife is running. They 422 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: put on a show and it had Kid Rock and 423 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other people, a few country artists sang. 424 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: Kid Rock did one short number in his Crazy Outfit 425 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: beautiful ballad, very patriotic, very touching. You should have watched that. 426 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I'd rather not have any 427 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: politics of any kind. Of course, you know I wasn't 428 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: getting away from politics by staying at the super. 429 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 2: Bowl obviously, right. Yeah. 430 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: I did think it was pretty funny that the two 431 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: Polar Bears got caught on the camera at the concert 432 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: hugging each other and kiss. 433 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 2: Oh that was pretty funny. Yeah, yeah, that was good. 434 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: So on a couple of completely different topics, I found 435 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 3: this back to back pretty interesting headlines in the Wall 436 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: Street Journal, America reclaims its dominance in space. First man 437 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 3: moon missions since nineteen seventy two will launched next month. China, meanwhile, 438 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: is struggling. We've got a really nice edge in dominating space, 439 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 3: which we'd sure as held better, because if China's dominating it, 440 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: it will be to the detriment of mankind. 441 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 2: Let's see, we want to say. 442 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: It sees the resource rich areas near the lunar South 443 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: Pole Bill Nelson, then administrator of NASA in twenty twenty three, 444 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: So the Chinese might assert sovereignty over the Moon itself. 445 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 3: Stopping them didn't seem a Biden administration priority, especially when 446 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: space capsule safety programs stranded to American astronauts at the 447 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: International Space Station for more than nine months. Trump famously 448 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 3: came in with Elon munksk and got everybody back. 449 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: But China is really struggling. So this is a nice 450 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: area of dominance, and I hope you exploit it. Wouldn't 451 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: that be a bold move if China just declares the 452 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: Moon is theirs, or if we just declare the moon 453 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: is ours? 454 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. 455 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 3: And then this headline the Chinese factory that opened in 456 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 3: the US and clobbered its rivals. And it's about this 457 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 3: glass company that supplies like windshield glass and window glass 458 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: to the big automakers. And it started by a Chinese company, 459 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: it came to the US. When do they say it's 460 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 3: like fifteen years ago and was cited as just a 461 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 3: great thing to revive the economy and the Chinese. Look, 462 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 3: the Chinese are investing in the US since they opened 463 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 3: allegedly with illegal immigrant labor from China and illegal government 464 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: subsidies from the communist Chinese. They put a bunch of 465 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: American companies out of business, putting tons and tons of 466 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 3: people out of work in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana. Says 467 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 3: who is this being quoted? He's an industry expert. The 468 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: entry of Chinese firms in the US auto industry not 469 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 3: only threatens the safety and security of domestic supply chains, 470 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: but jeopardize entire communities that rely on American manufacturing jobs. 471 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: So it's just it's yet another example. And this is, 472 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: you know, back to our previous discussion. We need national 473 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: unity because we are in a century long preme wrestling 474 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 3: match with China and they have complete unity. 475 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: And so what do we do with this? 476 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: China says, your principles are open society, excellent. We're gonna 477 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: spread our propaganda. We're going to give you TikTok. We're 478 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 3: going to invest in companies, then ruin your industries. Meanwhile, 479 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: their society is completely closed and inflamingly racist by the way, 480 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 3: and secretive in a police state. 481 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: How do we deal with that? We need unity to 482 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: deal with that. 483 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of TikTok, I heard there are a couple of 484 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: your big TikTok influencers she made a lot of money 485 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: on TikTok trying to put together some sort of legal 486 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: complaint or something, saying the algorithm is not the same. 487 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: Their views have dropped off substantially since the new TikTok 488 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: hit and it being sold to them as the same 489 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: product is. 490 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 2: A violation of this or that or something. I don't 491 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: know what. 492 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: That's interesting because I've been reading conservatives saying, hey, Beijing 493 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: areas from the National Review, the algorithm remains under Beijing's 494 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: watchful eye, and byte Dance is the strongest ownership position 495 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 3: inside the new consortium. 496 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: Quote. 497 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: This isn't a divestment, it's a smoke screen. TikTok will 498 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 3: remain under byte Dance's effective control. 499 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 2: Wow. What if it's the worst of two worlds. 500 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: They still have the same amount of spying on you, 501 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: but the algorithm for just feeding you stuff and making 502 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: money is not as good. 503 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: Could be both. 504 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 3: Well, that'll week in the spying, I would sure, yeah, 505 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: we should have bootered them out completely. And for what 506 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: it's worth, this is a factor in what Trump will 507 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: be impeached for when the Democrats take the House. It's 508 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 3: the three way relationship between Trump's company and his sons, 509 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 3: the UAE, and China. 510 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: You should break that down for us maybe next segment, 511 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: like in full or impartial, just so it's on our 512 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: radar speaking of TikTok and influencers. Not to make everything 513 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: about the super Bowl, but it is how I spent 514 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: most of my day yesterday. 515 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: I was amazed at this. 516 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: And you wouldn't know unless you're hanging out with the teenager. 517 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: How many of the commercials that came on where there's 518 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: a person who I just think is like, you know, 519 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: a bit player in the commercial, they're nobody, They're just, 520 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, every man, somebody standing at the counter of a. 521 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: Cell phone store. Oh my god, I can't believe that. 522 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: My son would say is a giant star in the 523 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: YouTube world or TikTok world that I didn't even like, 524 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: didn't even know was anybody. And that happened over and 525 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: over and over with various commercials, and I thought, Wow, 526 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: they're reaching people on multiple levels, so they'd have some 527 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: star there that my son is probably like, that's just 528 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: some good looking guy announcer, not a giant movie star. 529 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: And then the other dude over there, some young black guy, 530 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: is a huge star. 531 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 2: Among people in my kids world, and I didn't even 532 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 2: know it was anybody. It reminds me of nineteen seventy. 533 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: I was watching the Super Bowl and my children said, 534 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: who's that? 535 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 3: I said, that's Lola Falana, the Great Lola Falana. 536 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: Oh do you not know the Great Lola Falana? 537 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: Even We were at Target a couple of weeks ago 538 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: and we were in the uh uh men's grooming uh 539 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 1: section because my teenage boys have started to decide they 540 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: really care how they look and smell and whatnot. 541 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: But they're always a welcome development, isn't it. 542 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: There was an ad there and I thought it was 543 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: just you know, when you have regular people, you know, 544 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: holding your products on a sign for Kmart or JC 545 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: Penny or whatever, it is not a star anyway. Is 546 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: some group of like the biggest influencers on YouTube that myself, 547 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe so and so is 548 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: doing Target commercials. I wonder how often that happens, right, 549 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: and it's getting so niche for all these different things 550 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: that I don't know. We're probably all exposed to it 551 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: every single day, where you recognize the influencer. 552 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: And I don't, and vice versa. 553 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, my twenty five year old daughters into that sort 554 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: of thing and will send me stuff she really likes 555 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: occasionally and I'll check it out and the number. 556 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: Of views would be the envy of CBS videws. Absolutely. 557 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 558 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this one group I wish I could remember the name. 559 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: I wrote it down. 560 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: Of these guys who just they basically watch videos and 561 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: then make snarky comments about them. 562 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 2: That's what they do. 563 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: And they are huge, Like you just said, they get 564 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: so many more views than anything on cable could even help. 565 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: I mean, they're a bigger star than any cable news host. 566 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's not even worth mentioning. And then you 567 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: get to the big networks and they dominate that in 568 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: terms of eyeballs or recognition, and they're lost on me 569 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: com lately. That's a good thing if you can get it, 570 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: although it's kind of similar to what we do. You 571 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: just observe the world and make snarky comments. 572 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that divide it reminds me a little bit of 573 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 3: what we've been talking about in reference to the Super 574 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: Bowl and the halftime showing Bad Bunny and the rest 575 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: of it. The Roger Goodell the world are looking at 576 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: that as the future, including the Spanish speaking world, and 577 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 3: you know, we've said plenty about that, and probably we'll 578 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 3: say some more. But yeah, they're realizing that's where the 579 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: eyes are, that's where the money is, that's where we're going. 580 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that I agree with that, and I'm 581 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: in the advertising world myself, obviously, How could there be 582 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: a bigger market? Everybody wants to get into the US 583 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: market because it is such a great market. We were 584 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: the richest country on Earth. We spend money like crazy. 585 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: Everybody wants American eyeballs, and we got the NFL thinking now, 586 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: we don't want that, we want some mills. Venezuelan's yeah, 587 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: for some reason. Right, interesting. Well, I guess we'll wait 588 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: twenty years and see who's right. Joe's going to explain 589 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: to us what Trump's going to get impeached about if 590 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats take the House, and they almost certainly will, 591 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: among other things we got coming up on the show 592 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: Stay here. 593 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: I just know the years of watching her at sheievil Ski, 594 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: at her limit. The tone is set right here. 595 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's Lindsey vonn crashing. 596 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: That was not good. That was not good. Michael played 597 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 2: forty four and I have an excuse for this. I 598 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: hope for the best for her. I hope that it's 599 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: that it's not too bad. 600 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean my heart aches for her. 601 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: It's it's such a brutal sport. 602 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: Sometimes that's us skier. Breezy Johnson. Can I call myself 603 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: Breezy Johnson or would that seem weird? 604 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: So many of these Olympic athletes have super cool names, 605 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: like the parents knew they were going to be something. 606 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 2: Breezy Johnson is the gold medal winner. It's a cool name. Hey. 607 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 2: By the way, real quick, I just came across this. 608 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: Uh. Ricky Martin's uh song during halftime was a warning 609 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: about modern day colonialism. 610 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: In case you weren't where super. 611 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: Got that from the New York Times critic. Maybe we'll 612 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: read more of that later, so you have the slightest 613 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: idea what happened. 614 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at the clock. 615 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: We can scratch the surface of this, which is probably 616 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 3: enough for now. Andy McCarthy of the National Review and 617 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal and other places is a rock solid, 618 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 3: very serious, fair minded conservative, former federal prosecutor writes about 619 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 3: the law and that sort of thing generally, and he's 620 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 3: you know, we're fans. He has unleashed a five part 621 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: series most I think three or four parts of it 622 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 3: so far in National Review, originally about the ties between 623 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 3: the Trump family and Steve Whitkoff, by the way, and 624 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: Jared Kushner and the uaes trillions of dollars in free 625 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 3: cash and the communist Chinese And here is the thumbnail 626 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: sketch of what Trump will be impeached for as soon 627 00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: as the Democrats take that out. 628 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: Keeping in mind Andrew McCarthy, because we read a lot 629 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: of it over the years, has come to Trump's defense 630 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of bogus lawsuits and stuff like 631 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: that over the years when nobody else was. 632 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: He was absolutely the most persuasive and powerful caller out 633 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 3: of the law fare that was going after Trump while 634 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: it was going after completely fair Anyway says it's a 635 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: long story, but let's cut to the chase. In autumn 636 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 3: of twenty four, when it became Cleari'd likely went back 637 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: to White House. In about six weeks, Donald Trump and 638 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 3: his friend Steve Whitcoff founded a crypto business called World 639 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: Liberty Financial WLF was and remains an ideal vehicle for 640 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: leveraging political power in search of financial game. Crypto's shrouded 641 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: mystery and intrigue. The public generally doesn't understand it. The 642 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 3: Federal Reserves has just two percent of Americans use crypto 643 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: to pay for anything in. 644 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four. 645 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: The value that investors promote and customers purchase at VEIG 646 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: is vague. Hence, a crypto business, whether in token's currency 647 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: or other iterations, is an ideal way to disguise political 648 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: payoffs as financial transactions. Because they have sons who do 649 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: not hold government positions and could Austin ostensibly run the 650 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: crypto business. Trump at his Middle East endvoy Witkoff would 651 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: be poised to claim that WLF is a private enterprise 652 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: waldoff from Trump's political influence, even though that influence was 653 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,959 Speaker 1: a magnet for foreign investment and consumer purchases. And it 654 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: has to do with the Chinese board and Canadian billionaire 655 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: Felon Chang pen Joao who ran Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange, 656 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: who is desperately seeking a presidential pardon, and contributed valuable 657 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: technical expertise for building wlf's infrastructure. So did Jow's close associate, 658 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: Shaik Tanun bin Zayed al Nayan, a top intelligence operative 659 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: and the second highest ranking royal member of the United 660 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: Arab Emirates, a tiny rich Gulf monarchy. Just for chuckles, 661 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: their sovereign wealth fund that they invest is valued at 662 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: I think it's one point two trillion dollars, and it 663 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: was a three way. You scratch my back and we'll 664 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: all make billions of dollars, making Hunter Biden look like 665 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: the punky is. So if that is the impeachment, and 666 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: that'd be a hard impeachment to sell to the people 667 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: that don't already hate Trump. You could any impeachment work 668 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: for the people who really really hate Trump, but it's 669 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a hard one to sell to the other 670 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: crowd because this is gonna be very complicated. 671 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 3: It's a I wouldn't say it's very complicated, but it's 672 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 3: complicated enough to be a challenge, especially given the fact 673 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 3: that people's eyes glaze over as soon as you start 674 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 3: talking about crypto and crypto exchanges. What's what's the difference 675 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 3: between a meme coin and a stable coin. 676 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: I don't know, for instance. Well, you gotta figure it out. Yeah, 677 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 2: I don't think I do. Yeah. 678 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 3: Uh So, anyway, House Republicans even opening in Peach. Oh, 679 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. They're talking about the Biden family. Andy's thumbnail 680 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 3: is everything that Bidens did. Add two zero's to it, 681 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 3: and you start to get an idea of what the 682 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 3: Trump family's doing. 683 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: Well, that'll sure be fun to follow if that ever happens. Okay, 684 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: we get a lot more on the way.
