Yeah, it is like eight thirty 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: pm at the end of a long work day that 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: was already long before we listen to the. 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: President eleven thirty pm for forgare. 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, eleven thirty pm for But I don't actually believe 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: in time zones. I think that's a conspiracy. But we'll 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: talk about that later. So in terms of like first 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: responses to the State of the Union, I think mine 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: was Trump spent a lot more time focusing on the 25 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: achievements of other people, like literally handing out a bunch 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: of awards, and less time, as a percentage of the 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: speech actually trumpeting things that he did and his own 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: successes in a way that I found kind of telling. 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: And I think this merges with the fact that he 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: did not mention Ice by name during the speech, So 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: I kind of saw this as a recognition by him 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: and his people that, like, there's some face that needs 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: to be saved, and we've got to try in this 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: speech to kind of minimize our least attractive attributes and 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: maximize the positive, you know. 36 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, My take was that he was trying to stimulate 37 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: empathy and try to keep hold of that Republican crowd 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: and try to endear himself to them as much as 39 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: he could despite the state of things. 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and trying to associate himself with a lot 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 4: of acts of heroism or military valor or you know, 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 4: which is classic strong man's stuff, right like the you know, 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: we're achieving a time of national great notesarire some examples 44 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 4: of masculine virtue, blah blah blah. We saw the US 45 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: men's ice hockey team. 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: I really hated that twelve minutes in Yeah, because we 47 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: just keep winning our countries winning too much. We're winning 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: so much that we don't know what to do. Yeah, 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: and here are a bunch of a bunch of those winners. 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: And I did find that kind of surprising too, like 51 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: how quickly they got brought in and how much of 52 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: a like a lot of the length of this was 53 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: just him announcing people who had won something or were 54 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: about to win something, and everybody clapping. 55 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 56 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: It's the most medals that we've seen in a State 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: of the Union address. 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: And I wonder because I know one way in which 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: these get quote unquote rated by news agencies, like how 60 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: much percentage of the time was its standing ovations? How 61 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 2: much percentage of the time manytimes they have to stop 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: for applause? Maybe he just trying to game that system. 63 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 6: Amazing, that's pretty funny. 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: It was really easy to take notes because of how 65 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: much applause there was in single lines He's at yeah, and. 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 4: Not just applause, right, there were there were large periods 67 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 4: of time when people were chanting USA, USA, or Charlie 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 4: Kirk's first name. 69 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Weird. 70 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I mean it's it started off with some 71 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: some more like statistics of dubious origin, but the economy 72 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: and various other things. He claimed that fentanyl was down 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: fifty six percent. That, yeah, the strongest sport of security ever. 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: That there's been no illegal aliens admitted to the United 75 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: States in the past nine months. Zero. 76 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: Well, that's a tortology, right, Like when you were admitted, 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: that means you have been processed to release into the 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: United States. 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 6: So by definition, yes, have there ever been illegal aliens admitted. 80 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: To the United States. 81 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not what admission is, right, It's it's saying 82 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: there were. 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: It's like being like, no bank robbers have legally robbed 84 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: a bank. S Well, no, I guess you're right. 85 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, no fish have walked under my orders. 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: And Robert you you mentioned you wanted to say something 87 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: a little bit about the fentanyl thing. 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: He brought up. 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I love fentanyl, obviously, big fan of 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: the stuff. You know, I don't like to use it, 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: just like to read about it, study it uses. And no, 92 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: that's a joke. It's a bit. Don't do fentanyl, folks, please, 93 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: And actually people aren't doing as much fentanyl, which has 94 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: nothing to do with the Trump administration. So when it 95 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: was like, there's fifty six percent less fentanyl getting into 96 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: the country, I just I knew that was wrong, because, 97 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: first off, I remembered reading that during the Biden administration 98 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: there had started to be like a significant constriction of 99 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: the international fininyl supply market. So I looked it up 100 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: and I was in fact accurate. In my recollection, I 101 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: found a pretty good article hosted by the University of 102 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: Maryland's Medical School by Carl Hill, which notes that in 103 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the journal Science published in art racle 104 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: by a Maryland criminologist that argued that the drop in 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: overdose deaths that had started to be noticed in twenty 106 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: twenty three was driven by a collapse of the international 107 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: fentanyl market supply chain. And you may note twenty twenty 108 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: three is when Donald Trump was not the president. For 109 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: this article, we were trying to understand why Finnel overdose deaths, 110 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: after rising rapidly for a decade in mid twenty twenty three, 111 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: suddenly turned downward. Peter Reuter, professor of public policy and 112 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: criminology from the University of Maryland, told the Baltimore Sun, 113 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: where you're reasonably sure that something has happened to the 114 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: precursor chemical supply from China, there was a significant cause 115 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 2: of the downturn in fentanyl. So again what he's saying 116 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: is the supply constriction happened in twenty twenty three, and 117 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to have happened because of stateside US policy. 118 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: In other words, the contraction of the supply had nothing 119 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: to do with US stopping fentanyl at the border and 120 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: everything to do with an issue somewhere in China. Now 121 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: there's been a couple of theories as to this, including 122 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: some international laws that have altered, like the way these 123 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: kind some of the chemical companies in China have to work. 124 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: But the gist of it is that this star in 125 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: the Biden administration and has nothing to do with border policy. 126 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: It's purely result of the actual physical supply of fentanyl 127 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: and that construction began in China. Anyway, That's what I 128 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: had to say. 129 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's worth noting. I'm not quite sure 130 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 6: where that fifty six no idea. 131 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: It could be sieges that they maybe seized a load 132 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: of fentanyl, Like I'm not quite sure where that came from. Like, 133 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: there were a number of statistics which I couldn't track 134 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 4: down right, that the nineteen billion of fraud in Minnesota 135 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 4: by Somali people. 136 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: There was one I loved. He made a note that 137 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: two point four million Americans have now ascended. Wasn't the 138 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: word he used? Been gotten? 139 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 3: Lifted off of food stamps? 140 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: Lifted off of food stamps. 141 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: Two point four million Americans are off of food stamps. 142 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's specifically lifted off, as Garret noted, which 143 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: would insinuate that like their circumstances improved and they no 144 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: longer needed food stamps. That's not true. Yes, we simply 145 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: introduced like work requirements and other restrictions that kicked two 146 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: point four million Americans off. 147 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: Of kicked people off of the food time program. Yeah, 148 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: we've pushed people into starvation because. 149 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: We we lifted them into starvation, Garrison, we lifted them. 150 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 6: There you go ovation. 151 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, And this was this was his line right before 152 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: he started talking about how we're winning so much and 153 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: Brod the hockey team that was the segue was talking 154 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: was talking about how there's millions of people who now 155 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: can't get food stamps and look, look how much we're winning. Quote, 156 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: we're winning so much, we don't know what to do. 157 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my big problem, I fol so encountered that 158 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: what to do with all the victories? 159 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 3: But no, there's there's a few other stuff. Mean, he's 160 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: talked about like, you know, the lowest inflation in five years, 161 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: which is continuing you know, continuing trends that have been 162 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: going on for the past like three years, right in inflation, 163 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: gas prices, mortgage rates. Did this interesting line a short 164 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: time ago we were a dead country. Now we are 165 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: the hottest, hottest, the hottest, and then he said hottest again, 166 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: and then he had a really a really beautiful line 167 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 3: of pros are new friend and partner.

Whilst Ice we was not mentioned by name, there 207 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 6: was a lot of border chat. 208 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, especially at the at the Star and then 209 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: a few times towards like the middle end. 210 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 211 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 4: And one of the things he did pretty consistently was 212 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 4: was talk about horrific incidents, often involving the death of children, 213 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 4: sometimes in front of their parents. 214 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 6: Yeah. 215 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: I just want to highlight a couple of those. The 216 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 4: first one he talked about Delilah Coldman, right, who was 217 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 4: injured in a crash with Big Grig, the driver's which 218 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: was not a US citizen, but did have a work permit, 219 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 4: a work permit issued by the federal government under Donald Trump. 220 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: And this has been a claim on the right this 221 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: guy was undocumented for some time, right in that California 222 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 4: has been giving CDLs. Two undocumented people in this case 223 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 4: said that is not the case. I'm interested in what 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 4: happened to the Coldman family. I understand they've been through 225 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: like a horrific thing. Right, their daughter, it looked like 226 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 4: she was going to use the use of her legs. 227 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: She's now really learning to use her legs and to walk, 228 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 4: which is great. But previously they had met with the 229 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 4: person who was driving the vehicle that caused their daughter 230 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: this horrific injury, and they had explicitly declined to politicize it, 231 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 4: so they weren't interested in doing that. So I don't 232 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: know what happened here to now Trump proposing a law 233 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 4: which Delilah's law. He's calling it, right, which would I'm 234 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: trying to remember if he said stop non citizens or 235 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: undocumented people or illegal aliens to use his parlents from 236 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 4: getting CDLs. 237 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: Obviously I think are legal aliens. 238 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: There are states which will give you driver's license without 239 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 4: asking for documentation for the very obvious reason that people 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: in this country have to drive. Large parts of this 241 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 4: country are set up around driving. You cannot exist in 242 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: some parts of America without a motor car, and it 243 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: is better that people get a license and insurance than 244 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 4: that they don't do that. 245 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: He said, barring any state from granting commercial driver's license 246 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: to illegal aliens was his frame. 247 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, that's his normal framing rate. 248 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 4: Never had a CDL in this country, and I've never 249 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: gone through that application process, but I assume one would 250 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: first need a federal work permit, right as one would 251 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 4: for any employment. 252 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: Well, you need a driver's license. 253 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 6: You also need to drive us there. 254 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta have a driver's license to get a CDL. 255 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's a background check component. It looks like 256 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: to the cdo. 257 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 3: One of the lines that he used right before this 258 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: call to action was that illegal aliens cannot read road signs. 259 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's how we introduced the section of like, yeah, 260 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: they're all through this country driving around. They don't know 261 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: what like a warning sign is or a stop sign. 262 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: Obviously, lots of people come to this country in a 263 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 4: perfectly capable of speaking English. There also people who are 264 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: born in this country. You don't speak English. 265 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: Well, we just we don't have an official language. 266 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: Just to say a lot of people can't drive very 267 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: well in this country. Yeah, as an as an LA driver, 268 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: a lot of your people don't know how to merge. 269 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: And it has nothing to do with your what langu 270 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: would you speak for your citizens status? Okay, Like this 271 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: is a pointless remark to make. 272 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: It's just it's a policy that they can make, right. 273 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 274 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 7: Yeah. 275 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 4: Didn't he sign an executive order officially making English the 276 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 4: official language. 277 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 6: It's at some point early on. 278 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: Yes. 279 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 4: No, I'm just I'm trying to remember if that was 280 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 4: a case or not. Yes, yes, okay. The other claim 281 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: that I thought was interesting was the killer of this 282 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 4: young woman in Charlotte, right who has killed. 283 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: The trains stabbing incident from last year. 284 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, Arena's a Rutska, and Trump claimed that the man 285 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 4: who killed her had come in through an open border. 286 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: I am not able to find any evidence that this 287 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: person is an immigrant to the United States. I have 288 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: not found that reported anywhere. His father appears to have 289 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: at least resided, if not been born, in the United States. 290 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: His name is to Carlus Brown Junior, and so assuming 291 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 4: that the Daclis Brown, who is resident in the same 292 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 4: place is his father, therefore I would assume that he 293 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 4: was born in the United States and had citizenship through 294 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 4: Bethet citizenship. I have no idea about it. His father 295 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: could well be a Sitisen two. I'm just trying to 296 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: research things in a hurry. I have not seen it 297 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: reported anyway. 298 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: Zero reporting about this man being an immigrant including from 299 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: right wing out let's who use this horrific incident to 300 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: stoke like racist crime panic narratives last year. 301 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that may not have been the goal. It 302 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: may have just been more traditional like race panic. 303 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what it was. They used it for 304 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: racialized crime panic. This comment by Trump inferring that he 305 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: is an immigrant may have been an unscripted ad lib 306 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 3: that he just did. But from what we could tell, 307 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 3: this man was not an immigrant. 308 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. 309 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: Now, it's just like a guy did a bad thing. 310 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: Nor was he released early from custody. By the way, 311 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: which is part of the narrative that the right was 312 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: using in their report around this, was that this guy 313 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: was like released early from prison and he did serve 314 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: the entirety of his sentence. 315 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: He may not have been released early from his sins, 316 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: but you're released early from your sentence of not listening 317 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 2: to us. Here's some ads. 318 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: That's one of the worst ones. 319 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, too bad, and we're. 320 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 6: Back, hooray. 321 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 3: So in the start to middle section where he was 322 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: he was still kind of talking about the economy before 323 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: the entire pageantry performance took over.

It was hard to interpret 339 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 3: this as like a massive economic triumph when you were 340 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: talking about a mother who's not only doing labor at 341 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: home by schooling her children and then also working nights 342 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: and a husband who's also working full time like that 343 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 3: that that demonstrates how difficult it actually is to exist economically, 344 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: especially if you have a family in the country right now. 345 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: And his his kind of twisting of this scenario to 346 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: support his his his notion that he is he's helping 347 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: the American economy I found to be quite interesting, and 348 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 3: that is that's mostly what the Democratic response by Governor 349 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: Spanberger was about. It's like, how it's pretty clear to 350 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: most Americans that it's actually been quite economically challenging based 351 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 3: on his wildly unstable trade agreements and tariffs, which have 352 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 3: caused a great deal of economic and stability in this country. 353 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a feeling during the Biden administration, especially 354 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 4: with like Pusaki, right, like the Biden administration was somewhat 355 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 4: gaslighting people as they struggled economically. Sure, but Trump has 356 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 4: not not diverged from that policy. 357 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 3: Right. 358 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 4: No, And obviously now the dams are calling out talking 359 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 4: of budget tree issues. Did anybody else catch that the 360 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: Democrats have frozen funding to dhs who would like to 361 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 4: be out there helping people shovel their snow. 362 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: I missed this. I missed this shoveling snow line. 363 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't catch that either. 364 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 6: Really, I caught it. 365 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: I caught it, Okay, I thought. 366 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: Hallucinated. 367 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: Maybe that flooded the banks of like guarantized nonsense filters 368 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: and we just shut down for a second. 369 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, that one, Like I actually went back on the 370 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 4: live stream and that was one of the few moments 371 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: where I, yeah, I wondered what heck he was talking about. 372 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure he's going to be deploying FEMA. FEMA, 373 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: Yeah right, FEMA to New England to help to shovel 374 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: the snow. 375 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 376 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 6: Great, I'm sure that will be received. Well. 377 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one of the more insane ones that 378 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 4: I that I just it really took me a second 379 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: to work out what on earth was happening. But yeah, 380 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 4: I believe that that was maybe a FEMA reference. 381 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 3: No, I won't be happy until Homeland Security Investigation agents 382 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: are shoveling snow. 383 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 2: Honestly, and make him do it in every state, even 384 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: the ones without snow. Just get out there and pantomime 385 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: it with a shovel. 386 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 4: You know, we got sand in California. We'll find him 387 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 4: some work. 388 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: Shovel some sand. 389 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 3: I think the most interesting portion of the State of 390 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: the Union address was when Trump talked about his tariffs, 391 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 3: specifically because just days ago, Supreme Court struck down his 392 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: terror as not being legal. This will get discussed more 393 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: in Executive's Disorder tomorrow, but I found this to be 394 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: quite interesting because Trump acknowledged all of this and then 395 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 3: discussed how he is going to keep doing the tariffs anyway, 396 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: right in front of the justices, just just openly talking 397 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 3: about defying a Supreme Court order in front of them, 398 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 3: and the camera kept going back and forth between the 399 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: President and the justices as they just like sat there. 400 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 3: It's a completely blank face as he's talking about defying 401 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 3: their order. And this is like real, real peak constitutional 402 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 3: crisis stuff. 403 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: He kept saying, it's an unfortunate ruling by the Supreme 404 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: corip Mind you, there was four of them there. They 405 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: all stayed stoic, and some voted for him, some voted 406 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: against him, so it was a mixed bag. But he 407 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: was basically like it was like you know when you 408 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: do something wrong and the teacher lectures you in front 409 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: of the class. It was very much that they didn't 410 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: really give him munch of reaction. He was talking about 411 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: all countries and companies want to keep the deal, talking 412 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: about tariffs and it's saving our countries and this is 413 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: such an unfortunate ruling by the Supreme Court, but that 414 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because he's going to keep doing it. 415 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: We're still doing the tariffs. Yeah, we've talked a lot 416 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: about it. You know, there's going to be a certain 417 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 3: point in this in this administration there where it's going 418 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 3: to come down to a Supreme Court ruling saying that 419 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: something he's doing is illegal and he's going to keep 420 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 3: doing it anyway. He's already flirted with this in the 421 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 3: past year. There's a few kind of more minor moments where, 422 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: if not fully breaking a ruling, was bending it to 423 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 3: a near buckle. Yeah, but like this is I think 424 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 3: this is the most blatant incident so far of the 425 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: President just blatantly ignoring and then defying as Supreme Court ruling. 426 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 3: And then he talked about how, you know, ideally tariffs 427 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: will take the place of income tax, which, sure man, 428 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: good luck with that. 429 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. 430 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 7: Cool. 431 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: He had a bit where he was like, we've worked 432 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 4: out a new and totally legal way to do it. 433 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: Is that when Nie mentioned that congressional action won't be 434 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: necessary for the new tariffs. 435 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, there new and established shil I mean, 436 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 3: because that would be the legal way to do it. 437 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 3: That is, that's the power that Congress has. 438 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we have their need to work it out, 439 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 4: like we've got that one COVID. 440 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: Oh my god, do you want to talk about the 441 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 3: rate player protection pledge. Yes, sure, Yes, the idea that 442 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: tech companies will have to provide their own power to 443 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: the data centers popping up around the country, lowering energy 444 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 3: costs for residents of these neighborhoods. 445 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is relevant for a couple of reasons. 446 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: He's talking about allowing Basically, the issue is that all 447 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: of these data centers have increased electricity costs for a 448 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: lot of Americans, and he's claiming we're going to put 449 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: that on the tech companies by allowing them to make 450 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: their own power plants. Like that's probably, he says, by 451 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: making them responsible for like funding the power that their 452 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: data centers cost. But specifically, the way this is supposed 453 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: to work is by letting them build bas. 454 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: Is that explicitly laid out in this plan, because the 455 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: way he said it certainly was unclear. 456 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: I mean he said they're going to have power plants. 457 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: The direct statement was like tech companies will be operating 458 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: power plants that they're using to fuel these facilities. And 459 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: that's like in line with lobbying Silicon Valley he's been 460 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: doing for years to make it easier for them to 461 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: create small nuclear reactors. Like this has been for the 462 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: last like several years, Silicon Valley interests, including like KRO's Power, 463 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: have been pushing to make it a lot easier regulation 464 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 2: wise to operate small nuclear plants. Like that's definitely what 465 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: he was referring to. 466 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 6: That's great, feel good about that. 467 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's there's a good BBC article on 468 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: it from like twenty twenty five with the title why 469 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: big Tech's nuclear plans could blow up, But it features 470 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: like a lot of quotes from guys at AI companies 471 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: and at Google talking about like small nuclear reactors could 472 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: provide twenty four to seven clean energy near data centers, 473 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: according to Hyder Raza, an expert in AA and energy 474 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 2: use at the University of Essex, right, Like, there's a 475 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: lot of these quotes that have been going around for years. 476 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: So when I heard Trump say they'll have their own 477 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: power plants, that's what I read it in the context 478 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: of okay. 479 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: And he just he says big tech companies. He didn't 480 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: list out like who's Yeah, he doesn't who who that 481 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: would be because it's just like not a thought out plan, 482 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: it's just something for a headline. 483 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like the kind of conclusion of years 484 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 2: of lobbying for small nuclear plants on behalf of like 485 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: big tech companies. And I'm not against the idea of 486 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: more nuclear power. I am against the idea of letting 487 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: open AI. 488 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be the ones who have a power plant 489 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 6: of any kind. Yeah yeah, Yeah. 490 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 4: And having it in the State of the Union is 491 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 4: something of a signal by him to them, right, like 492 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 4: like that they are like his constituency. 493 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 494 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: I think it's also, as gare noted, it's like a 495 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 2: nod to the affordability thing. Like he's had to deal 496 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: with that a lot, because people can't notot notice that 497 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: things are getting more expensive. So he's promising the power 498 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 2: bill will go down because I've done this thing. 499 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, talking of getting more expensive, he spent a while 500 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 4: talking about fuel prices, like how he'd gone around and 501 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: he'd seen like one eighty five a gallon gas and 502 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 4: blah blah blah. Like I thought it was interesting that 503 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 4: clearly they understand. Right again, it shows that affordability is 504 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: something that they know they're week on and he's trying 505 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 4: to trying to I guess, reinforce the areas where he 506 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 4: feels stronger within that and not talk about the ones 507 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 4: he doesn't.

If I'm 516 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 4: not mistaken. He said that with a small investment, they 517 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 4: could be worth one thousand. 518 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 3: Dollars, hundred thousand dollars, one. 519 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 6: Hundred thousand dollars by the time the person is eighteen. 520 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. The website describes it as we're building a long 521 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: term financial security for millions of children by creating tax 522 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: Advantage Investment OUNCE for you as citizens under the age 523 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: of eighteen. It asks you to thought a form and 524 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: then it says, get one thousand dollars for every American 525 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: child born between January first, twenty twenty five in December 526 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: thirty first, twenty twenty eight. The account is fully in 527 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: your child's name and you are the soul custodian until 528 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: they turn eighteen. No contributions necessary, but you can deposit 529 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: up to five thousand per year for maximum growth. That's 530 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: what the website says. 531 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, like and like if this is I guess to 532 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: start off, this was like real. 533 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: If it was real, then like I don't have a problem. 534 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: With the idea, Like it's okay, share, but that's my 535 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 2: immediate question, especially since it seems like the big thing 536 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: that he was harping on is that like this was 537 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: funded in large part by like a six something billion 538 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: dollars donation by the by the Dells, by like Michael Dellahis. Yeah, 539 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: And so first off, I've used Dell computers, so I 540 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: was immediately like, oh, this doesn't seem like it could 541 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: be good. But yeah, I don't, like, I don't know 542 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: enough about this program to really know though. It's just like, 543 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 2: my it's a Trump thing involving money, So I'm on edge, 544 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 2: But what are we actually looking at here? 545 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 6: Yeah? 546 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 4: So I'm just going to work out the amount of 547 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: interest it would take for that one thousand to turn 548 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 4: into one hundred thousand in eighteen years if I just 549 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 4: plug it into the inflation calculator. Yeah, even at sixteen percent, 550 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 4: that's not doing it. 551 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: Well. 552 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: If they put that one thousand in Nividia stock five 553 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: years ago, then it's certainly possible. Yeah, which I think. 554 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 3: I think that's part of part of these accounts is 555 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: that it's like it's tight end with stock investments. It 556 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: seems it seems like it doesn't sound like it's just 557 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 3: like a high yield savings account. 558 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: Right. 559 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: The other Trump branded service that was advertised infomercial style 560 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 3: during the State of the Union dress was Trump Rx, 561 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 3: which essentially Trump's version of Mark Cuban's cost Pluster Drugs 562 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: website to get prescription drugs at very close to the 563 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 3: cost of manufacturing, something that Trump reiterated multiple times that 564 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: he did not name the Trump Accounts or trump Rx himself. 565 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Sure, Is this the. 566 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: Part when you tried to use a woman's IVF story 567 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: for PROPAGANSA Yeah, I really disliked that. 568 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 3: Yes he did. He did one of these, like one 569 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 3: of these people either brought in or sitting sitting high 570 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: up in the pews. He tells a lot of these 571 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: little stories throughout the State of the Union. He talked 572 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: about a woman who was trying to do IVF and 573 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 3: the drugs were very expensive and now thanks to Trump 574 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 3: our X, it's it's less money. 575 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: Well, it's just obnoxious because Trump said that he was 576 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: quote unquote the father of IVF and claimed to be 577 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: able to provide resources for people that want to pursue IVF, 578 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: and he has not fallen through on any of those promises. 579 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 3: He signed some executive orders. 580 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: That did football and it's still in absolutely outrageous cost 581 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: to do IVF and he's done nothing. He's done nothing. Yeah, 582 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: So to use it as propaganda, I find it to 583 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: be extremely offensive. 584 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: Well yeah, sure, but there's a lot that's offensive about 585 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: the propaganda he does in this like about the things 586 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: he uses for propaganda, all the murders and like. 587 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: That's I just didn't want to. I just didn't want 588 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: to skip over that because it's not going to get 589 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: as much of a headline as some of the other 590 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: horrific things he did. But it sucked. 591 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, what else sucks pretty hard? 592 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: Rub it ads? Not the ads for this podcast? 593 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 6: Oh no, absolutely not. No, I was thinking something tightly different. 594 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: All right, we are back. One thing that did get 595 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 3: both both chambers of plotting to the surprise of Trump, 596 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 3: because both for the Democrats applot again a little bit 597 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: of the Republicans is he talked about the Stop Inside 598 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 3: or Trading Act, which would somehow I need to look 599 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: into the actual actual build self, but restrict to Congress 600 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: people from doing inside or trading. And this did cause 601 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: a lot of applause on the on the Democrats side 602 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 3: and some applause on the Republican side, and Trump remarked 603 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: on both being interesting, and I made a Nancy Pelosi joke. 604 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: She was there. 605 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: They showed her later on. She was there. 606 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: In terms of disruptions to the Democratic side, al Green 607 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: did a little protest thing at the beginning, and then 608 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: during the section where Trump was talking about the Democrat 609 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 3: DHS shut down, he told he told the room to 610 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 3: stand up if you believe that that protecting American citizens 611 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: is more important than protecting illegal immigrants or something something 612 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 3: to that effect. 613 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 4: Yea, the role of the government is to protect American citizens, 614 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 4: right like. 615 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 6: Yes, not illegal immigrants. 616 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: And this caused a shouting back and forth between Alan 617 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: Omar and Trump, which which lasted for lasted for quite 618 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: a while.
