They 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 4: settled on a number whatever. This will either cause inflation 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: and ruin your life will or be the greatest thing 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 4: that ever happened. 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 3: I don't know which, or somewhere in between. But that 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: is done. 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 4: Trump's calling it the biggest financial deal in the history 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 4: of the world, which it actually monetarily might be until 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 4: he does the deal with China later this week hopefully. 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 4: The other thing is Trump said the fifty day pause 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 4: for Russia. 29 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: To see some movement by Putin. Forget it. 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: Putin's showing no effort whatsoever toward a ceasefire, so he 31 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 4: doesn't get the full fifty days. He didn't follow up 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: on what that means or what the timeline is now, 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 4: although the Patriot missile batteries are in Ukraine and are 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 4: being used. 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: So that happened lickety split. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's going to be true with 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 4: other weapons and money and all that sort of stuff too. 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 4: And there's one other thing. What was the other thing 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: that he threw out there? There's another big one. I 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 4: don't remember what it was. I don't think of it later. 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: So a couple of headlines about the big deals with 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: Europe politico breaking. EU admits it cannot guarantee the six 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars it promised to Trump that was announced 44 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: an hour ago. The extra investments pledged under the trade 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: deal would come from private companies, which Brussels conceded it 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 2: has no power to control. 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: So what does that mean to you? There is no 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: deal or the deal. 49 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: On Sunday, they struck a deal blah blah blah to 50 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: avoid a US trade war. The deal included a pledge 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: to invest an extra six hundred billion dollars of EU 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: money into the US overcoming years, but speaking today, two 53 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: senior European officials clarified that the money would come exclusively 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: from private companies, with public investment contributing nothing. 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: So I have no idea what that means. 56 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: And there aren't like cops that will come to their 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: houses and put them in cuffs and track them to 58 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: jail if not a dime was invested. And then this 59 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: from Gerard Baker, is a terrific writer for the Wall 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: Street Journal, Europe will never keep its promises to Trump 61 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: on defense, and he mentions how great it is that 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: the NATO members pledged to promise to increase their defense 63 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: spending five percent or domestic product UH from the current 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: average of below two percent. 65 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: Uh blah blah bah. 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: The idea that Europe is finally rising to meet its 67 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: own needs is common currency on both sides of the Atlantic. 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: After decades of cheaply sheltering under America's security umbrella, Europpeans 69 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: were told are now ready to take up the lion's 70 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: share of the cost of their own defense. And if 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: you believe that I have several bridges over the Rhine, 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: the Thames, and the Danube to sell you, really, writes Baker. 73 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, is there a reason I haven't heard anybody 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: say this but me? Maybe I'm just wrong. 75 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 4: Sometimes if I like we're saying something, it's because I'm 76 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: way off pace. But I don't understand how Trump continues 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 4: to be portrayed as somebody who's anti alliances, anti European Union, 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: anti NATO. 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: They're anti NATO. 80 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: The other countries in NATO seem to be anti NATO 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 4: if they're not willing to fund it. They're the ones 82 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: that don't care about the alliance, not us. We fund 83 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: the majority of it. I heard it this morning on 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: NPR Trump, who's never been a big fan of NATO, 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 4: the countries and NATO are not fans of NATO, at 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 4: least by their actions. I don't care about their words. 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: Their words don't mean anything. The fact that they don't 88 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 4: fund it means they don't care and we do, doesn't it. 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: In this one rare instance, you are not wrong, and 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: you are not crazy. 91 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent right. 92 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: Yes, they were rotting it out from within through laziness 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: and just you know, enjoying the warm, sugary milk of 94 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: the American taxpayer's tea anyway. 95 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: The overa taxpayers teat. 96 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: It's true that Baker writes, in the past three years, 97 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: the twin that's right, sir, the twin shocks of Europe's 98 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: invasion of Ukraine and the verbal hostility blah blah blah 99 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: have jolted European leaders out of their feckless complacency. 100 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: That's a good phrase. 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: The five percent of GDP math agreed to by all 102 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: members except lazy, stupid Spain, is on closer inspection, a 103 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: little fuzzy with three and a half percent. Remember the 104 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: big giant total everybody's bragging about is five percent. Three 105 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 2: and a half percent is allotted to actual defense spending 106 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: and one point five percent to areas like critical infrastructure 107 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: and civil preparedness. 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: Ah, which could be anything. 109 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, although I get that you do have to have 110 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: critical infrastructure to move arms. 111 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 4: Right, but you could also just you know, take the 112 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: money you were going to spend on fixing your highways 113 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: anyway and claim that was your civil preparedness. Be very 114 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: easy to fudge that stuff. But anyway he gets to 115 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 4: he gets to his main point. Don't be fooled by 116 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: all the Chilean talk. Well, it's true that some countries 117 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: like Poland and Finland will be serious about their defense 118 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: as they have been. The big euro nations Germany, France, 119 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: Italy and the UK face economic, demographic, political and cultural 120 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: challenges so deep that it'll take much more than statements 121 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 4: of intent to enable them to actually build their own 122 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: conventional defenses. Okay, So who doesn't care about NATO if 123 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 4: you can't get your own population to go along with 124 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: spending money on keeping NATO a fighting force. 125 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 2: Right, right, No, you're absolutely correct on that point. But 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: the reality of it is you've got enormous expensive welfare 127 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: states in all these countries, and Italy's public debt right 128 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 2: now is one hundred and thirty five percent of its GDP, 129 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: France is one hundred and thirteen percent, Spain's one hundred 130 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: and two, the UK more than one hundred. Germany's is 131 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: above sixty percent but set to rise. Massive welfare programs 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: are adding to those fiscal debt piles, and to give 133 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: a small illustration of the policy challenge, last month Armer's 134 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: Labor government in Britain, elected with a massive parliamentary majority, 135 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: tried to advance a small measure to trim seven billion 136 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: dollars off to spectacular growth of one social program that 137 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: are set to cost more than one hundred and thirty 138 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: seven billion dollars within a couple of years. So it's 139 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: what is that, It's like two and a half percent 140 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: something like that. Even such a meager effort at budget 141 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: restraint was defeated by a revolt by the party's back ventures. 142 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: So the idea that these big euro countries are going 143 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: to restructure their fiscal houses to free up lots more 144 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 2: money for defense, good luck. 145 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: And we're supposed to care about it more than them, 146 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: even though it's their backyard that Russia's starting to encroach into. 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Oh, and then Baker gets into their demographic problems. 148 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 3: They're they're not having babies. 149 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: We haven't talked about the biggest protests in Ukraine since 150 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: the war started, the biggest anti government. 151 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: Protests since the war started. 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: So Zelensky got elected primarily on an anti corruption platform. 153 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: He was a YouTube comedian with no tie to either party, 154 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: and so it seemed like he'd be the perfect guy 155 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: to come in and try to deal with corruption because 156 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: he doesn't have you know, he's not involved in any 157 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: of the parties. They still have corruption in Ukraine. Corruption 158 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: is hard to root out and we should be thankful 159 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 4: we have as little as we have because culturally it's 160 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: really really hard to get rid of. 161 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: But they still it's the number one problem for post 162 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: Soviet countries. 163 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: So they still have a corruption problem in Ukraine. 164 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 4: They've got a special panel, legislative body whatever that is 165 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: supposed to look into corruption and deal with it. Zelensky 166 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: said it had been intro it's snuck in that were 167 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: pro Russian and didn't care about corruption. In fact, they 168 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: were for corruption, and so he couldn't count on that 169 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 4: body to deal with corruption anymore. So he got legislation 170 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 4: passed to take hold of the corruption thing himself. So 171 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: now me, the president, I'm going to be in charge 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: of rooting out corruption, not this independent body. And there 173 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: was a revolt among tens of thousands of people in 174 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: Ukraine in the streets, protesting at wartime when Putin has 175 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 4: been targeting groups, I mean, so it was pretty brave 176 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 4: to get out there and protest this. Zelensky realized he 177 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: was on the wrong side of this, or you know, 178 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: is politically not good, and so they've already walked that 179 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 4: back or trying to change it so he no longer 180 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: is the guy who is in charge of corruption, because 181 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 4: that's a bad look. 182 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. I heard a really interesting conversation between a couple 183 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: of people, one of whom is very supportive of arming 184 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: Ukraine and helping them, and one who's been pretty cynical 185 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: about it. And interestingly, the cynical guy said, I got 186 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: to give some Linz in his government credit. They let 187 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: people have their free speech and protest against this law 188 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: to the point that they said, you know what, you're 189 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: you're right, we're wrong, will change it. And the guy 190 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: who's been very supportive of the Ukrainians and generally of 191 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: Zelensky said, yeah, that was a misstep. That even if 192 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: he was sincere, that was a bad idea because it 193 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: looks terrible and it's a good thing they're rescinding that 194 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: law and getting back to the old lie. 195 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: I assumed he was sincere. I mean, there's I don't 196 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: have any reason to think he's corrupt. 197 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 4: It didn't surprise me that a bunch of people who 198 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: are also corrupt got into that body, and we're going 199 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: to be people you couldn't count on to root out corruption. 200 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: That wouldn't surprise me, Yeah, when you got a history 201 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 4: of corruption in your country. But yeah, him taking it 202 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: over was a bad look politically, and they loosened the reins. 203 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: But something to see those kind of protests. I wonder 204 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 4: if he will get if he'll ever have elections, he'll 205 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: get re elected. 206 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: I wonder how that'll play out. 207 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: Will he go down in Ukrainian history as a as 208 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: a hero as he should I think? 209 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 3: Or not? Who knows, well, time we'll tell. Obviously. 210 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: Part of that discussion went on to discuss the fact 211 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: that they haven't had an election for a while and 212 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: that they should. Although if some pro Russian faction, you know, 213 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 2: floods the polls are legitimately Jin's up popular opinion or 214 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: something like that, and he loses and a pro Russian 215 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: guy gets elected, the Ukraine is over as a country. 216 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: How do they compare it to the US elections during 217 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: the Civil War? 218 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: But how would you have an election when what is it, 219 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 4: twenty percent of your country is occupied by another How 220 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: would you do that? 221 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: Right? 222 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: It's an absolutely legitimate question, and anybody Tucker, who's portrayed 223 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: it as an obvious sign that he's assumed dictatorial powers 224 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: and is a monster. Is that is just well, you're 225 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: a propagandist. I mean, Tucker is brilliant. He wouldn't get 226 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: that wrong. It's propaganda. But yeah, how are you going 227 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: to run on a plus anytime people gather? Other than 228 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: that demonstration the Russians bomb the vlad Putin said, eh, 229 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: hold off on those drones. This is anti Zelenski. Let's 230 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: not kill people. Now, wait till tonight. We'll hit a hospital, 231 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: in a school or two. 232 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: Here's one of my favorite headlines I've seen today, Cottage 233 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: cheese popularity sores.

I guess 246 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: is this point. Last week we had the story that. 247 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: So we're still trying to figure out if there's inflation 248 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: going on or not because or at least prices going 249 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: up because of tariffs. And he got Amazon, which has 250 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: raised its price some stuff. Walmart's saying they're not. And 251 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: then I heard some economists saying that Walmart is eating 252 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: the price hikes in an attempt to take business away 253 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 4: from Amazon, also probably to drive the last remaining brick 254 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 4: and mortars in the world out of business, as they 255 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: can't do that. They can't eat the increase in their 256 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 4: costs the way Walmart can. And then this story that 257 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: came out of the weekend that I missed. Target has 258 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 4: ended its price match policy that they've had forever, where 259 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: if there's an advertising price somewhere else, they would match it, 260 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: handing Amazon and Walmart a huge pricing advantage. 261 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: So Target, let alone your mom and pop store. 262 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 4: Target just decided we can't keep up with them eating 263 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 4: some of these increases in price to drive everybody out. 264 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: That's something. 265 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, that's it begun, all of it, you think, yeah. 266 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: Wow, this could be huge. I mean that seems like 267 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: a big deal to me. That's somebody's biggest target said 268 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: we're out. We can't compete with you guys. 269 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 270 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: Well, and a lot of the trade agreements that are 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: just being reached, and there are plenty that haven't been 272 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: reached yet. The tariffs then will go in place, and 273 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: we haven't seen how that will shake out either, So 274 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: just yet. 275 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: I hope not. 276 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: I don't want this because I'm I don't have Trump 277 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: arrangement syndrome, so I don't want negative outcomes. 278 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: But it wouldn't be shocking if. 279 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 4: Three months from now, six months from now, in time 280 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 4: for Christmas or whatever, this is the biggest story in 281 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: America what tariffs did to prices. You talk about a 282 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: story that would dominate all other stories. 283 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: Epstein. 284 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 4: Who if everything as all of a sudden, like you know, 285 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: covid era inflation more expensive. 286 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: I wonder, Yeah, and the whole you know, organized labor, 287 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: for instance, the UAW we mentioned this last year or 288 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: last week, Rather that the American made cars, which depend 289 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: heavily on parts from Canada and Mexico, are going to 290 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: be tariffed at a higher rate than euro cars. So 291 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: your Ford made you know, your quote unquote American made 292 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: Ford is going to have a higher tariff on it, 293 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: at least the foreign parts of it then your BMW. 294 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: I mean that's and that's going to hurt the sales 295 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: and the jobs for the UAW.

While prisoners don't technically have access to 344 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: the Internet at the Idaho Department of Corrections, they can 345 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: purchase tablets from the commissary and load them up with 346 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: a ton of approved apps. This means Scumbag and his 347 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: fellow inmates can access select music radio stations, perhaps the 348 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: Armstrong e Getty Show, podcasts, movies, televisions, games, and books. 349 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: They can also fire off emails and make phone calls, 350 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: so have a lifeline to life outside the prison wall. 351 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: I didn't catch that all that list because I was 352 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: thinking about what you're saying. So, do you have access 353 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: to the Internet, I mean the news basically? 354 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, So what is the thinking behind allowing them to 355 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 4: like just scroll through a tablet or. 356 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 3: Phone the way a lot of us do with our 357 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 3: lives and kind of have a semi enjoyable life. 358 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: What's the theory on that you're a murder make trouble. 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 4: They don't make trouble, they're compliant. They don't want their 360 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 4: tablet taken away. 361 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure he doesn't really address that, but 362 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: that's the answer. I got two teenagers that basically spend 363 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 2: their entire days if I let them doing what he's 364 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 2: going to do. So it doesn't seem like much round 365 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: peacefully right, doesn't seem like much of a punishment or 366 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: supposed to be. 367 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: Is it supposed to be a deterrent? What kind of 368 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: a deterrent is? You get to do what every teenager 369 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 4: wishes they could do with their parents won't let them. 370 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a wrestling match that people never discuss. I've 371 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: actually talked about this to corrections officers and people in 372 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: the in business. I've got a friend who's actually a 373 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: recently retired warden. But anyway, it's the tension is between punishment, 374 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: making it harsh and unpleasant so you never want to 375 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: go back there again, but having the inmates be compliant. 376 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 4: I mean, if I could sit in a cell and 377 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 4: scroll the Internet and you're gonna feed me. I could 378 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 4: do that for a long time. I'd prefer freedom. But 379 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 4: I mean that ain't the worst thing that ever happened. 380 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 2: Uh right, Yeah, I get it. They can let and 381 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: if scumbag uses his email to find love, well it'll 382 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: be a chaste marriage because the Idaho Department of Corrections 383 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: does not allow conjugal vistas. 384 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: Well, thank god. 385 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 4: If he was getting laid and scrolling the internet, then 386 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 4: why why is anybody not commit a crime? 387 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: Oh my, especially because he butchered those poor people, probably 388 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 2: in part because he couldn't get a girl. 389 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 4: On the other hand, Jack, well, remind me of that. 390 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 4: You just trip something in my mind.

I mean, if I had a friend or 520 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 4: my kids did this, I. 521 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 3: Would think, what is wrong with you? Yeah, the world? 522 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 4: And it was it was everybody had their own Well, 523 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 4: there's there's no way you can get a girlfriend after 524 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 4: age thirty, or there were somebody else said after in 525 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: your forties or in your fifties. So they all, you know, 526 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 4: their particular time in life was the worst time it 527 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 4: has ever been. And because of you know, and then 528 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: name it the economy and the politics or whatever it was, 529 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 4: they all had a reason why they'd completely given up 530 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 4: on the idea of ever having a relationship. 531 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, humankind cannot survive the internet. That is my conclusion. 532 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 3: And I am the worst of mankind are now reinforced. 533 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: Instead of being told over and over again, Hey Joe, 534 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 2: that's dumb, or you're giving up or that's pathetic. No, 535 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: don't be like that. You just go online find people 536 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: who are like minded. And haven't reinforced all day long. 537 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't even think about that aspect, but that 538 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 4: is exactly what was going on there. All those people 539 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 4: were able to read that thread and said, yep, I 540 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 4: was right all along. It's impossible to go out and 541 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 4: get a relationship in the modern world. So that's why 542 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 4: I've given up and I'll just drink, do drugs, watch porn. 543 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: Whatever it is, but I won't go out and be 544 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 3: in a relationship. 545 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are kind of horrif questions here because you 546 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: might be right about the hurdles that you would have 547 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 2: to leap over, but that doesn't mean you're right in 548 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: not leaping over them. 549 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: So, like I said, there are a couple layers to it. 550 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: The fact that many young women are leftist lunatics and 551 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: won't even consider being with you unless you too are 552 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 2: leftist lunatic. That's a significant problem. It's a real issue 553 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: for young men. That doesn't mean you give up and 554 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: just spout angrily on the internet. 555 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 3: But I don't know. I know a lot. 556 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 4: I know a lot of non left it not a lot, 557 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: but I know some non leftist lunatic women who have 558 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 4: the same complaint about they can't find any guys. 559 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: So if you all would get together, I think things 560 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: would work out for you. 561 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: Fully, They were like, I don't know, a website or 562 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: something as those kids too. 563 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: Turned weird too. Yeah, I think that's a dry hole. 564 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 4: But as opposed to going on sites where you all 565 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: complain about why you can't be in a relationship, if 566 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 4: you could somehow put those two it's funny. If you 567 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 4: could take the thread for the women and the thread 568 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 4: for the men and meet them up, like all get 569 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 4: them together in a room, I think you might have 570 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: a bunch of love. 571 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 3: Blooming sparks would fly. That's exactly right. They still haven't 572 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: gotten to the woman with the world's biggest lips. Trump 573 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: said some interesting Epstein stuff. Do you have a stomach 574 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 3: for that or not? FLA, Yeah, yeah I do. I 575 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 3: took the weekend off of it, mostly nine. 576 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 4: Hour interview with Gal Maxwell by the Justice Department Thursday 577 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 4: and Friday last week. What are they hoping for? What 578 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: are they even looking for? 579 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: Anything they can release to calm the masses, That's what 580 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: I believe they're looking for. Any revelation that sounds like 581 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: they're now, we're telling you the truth, the evil truth 582 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 2: that we said in our podcast for years that we 583 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: would find if we ever got power. 584 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 3: Here it is how many how many FBI agents were 585 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: on this case. 586 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: The number will shock you, among other things on the way, Okay. 587 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: The rush yet they steel don's a normal JBFC story. 588 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 3: How you got to be kiddy with it? No, I 589 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 3: had nothing to do with it. Only you would think 590 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: that not had nothing to do with it. 591 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 4: So Trump announce was the big European tariff deal. They 592 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,959 Speaker 4: came to a number. What's the number, doesn't matter. They 593 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 4: agreed on a number because the big high number was 594 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 4: going to kick in on August. 595 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: First, which is Friday. 596 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 4: So Trump's calling it the biggest financial deal's ever been 597 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 4: done in world history, which may be true. I think 598 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 4: the Louisiana purchase adjusted for inflation might be bigger. 599 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 3: Anyway, I don't know. 600 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 4: But that reporter asked, if you couldn't hear it, was 601 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 4: this deal just done to bump up Epstein off. 602 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: The front page? Trump said, you gotta be kidding with 603 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 3: that question. 604 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 4: I mean some of the other stuff that's happened in 605 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks, like when he announced what 606 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 4: did he announce announced something like went after Rosie O'Donnell 607 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 4: one day, are something's. 608 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 3: In charge Obama with treason? 609 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, that stuff might be to distract from Epstein, But 610 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 4: I don't think this big European tariff deal that he's 611 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 4: been talking about his entire adult life was timed to 612 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 4: do that. He was also asked, and everybody's wondered, why 613 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 4: did he and Epstein have a falling out, because famously 614 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 4: Trump stopped talking to Epstein at all. They had a 615 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 4: break before Epstein got nabbed the first time in Florida. Anyway, 616 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 4: he was asked about that today. 617 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 6: I free not borrow all. 618 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 4: Can you sell that? 619 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: What caused the breach? 620 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 5: That's such old history, very easy to explain, but I 621 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 5: don't want to waste your time by explaining it. But 622 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 5: for years I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't 623 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 5: talk because he did something that was inappropriate. He hired help, 624 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 5: and I said, don't ever do that again. He stole 625 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 5: people that work for me. I said, don't ever do 626 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 5: that again. He did it again, and I threw him 627 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 5: out of the place, persona on grata. I threw him 628 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 5: out and that was it. I'm glad I did so. 629 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: It wasn't a sexuality, wouldn't complain, he wouldn't explain that. 630 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 3: He explained, which is very Trump Like. But it wasn't 631 00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 3: a sexual thing. 632 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 4: Wasn't everybody kind of assuming that, like he hit on 633 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: somebody's daughter or something and traps one of the stories, 634 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 4: or he snuck in at the last second and out 635 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 4: did Trump on some real estate or something. 636 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 3: I'd heard too, but he was raiding him for staff. 637 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 4: Okay, So again, the most extraordinary thing that happened in 638 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 4: the last few days in the world's weirdest scandal is 639 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 4: that the number two in the Justice Department, not like 640 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 4: some lower level person, the second most powerful person in 641 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 4: the entire Justice Department, personally questioned Glaine Maxwell for nine 642 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 4: hours Thursday and Friday. 643 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 3: And as you commented earlier, the number two, it's Justice 644 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 3: is the operational chief is really the number one in 645 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 3: terms of the stuff you actually do. 646 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 4: It's like your boss going and dealing with something that 647 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 4: normally a lower level person would do. And both Chris Christy, 648 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 4: who I don't trust at all but has a lot 649 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: of knowledge about the Justice Department, and Sarah Isger on 650 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 4: ABC this Week yesterday both said that's just extraordinary that 651 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 4: somebody that high up would go and revisit a case 652 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 4: that was settled a long time ago. I mean, she's 653 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 4: in jail for twenty years, that's done. Was what's going 654 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 4: on there? I think your theory is really good. They're 655 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 4: just trying to come up with anything they can tell 656 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 4: the masses who believe. Oh, here's the other nugget that 657 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 4: came out of there. I think Sarah Iger said this 658 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 4: of the Dispatch. There are one time nearly a thousand 659 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 4: FBI agents on the Epstein case when Trump first took over, 660 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 4: because they were either so convinced there was there there 661 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 4: or so desperately needed to find some there there in 662 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 4: terms of the child abduction, sex trafficking, bang, Pizzagate, Hillary Clinton, 663 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 4: Michelle Obama's a man, a whole. 664 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 3: Thing trying to come up with something. They had nearly 665 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 3: a thousand FBI agents working on that. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah. 666 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 2: I was just reading I've never listened to more than 667 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: a few minutes of Not Cash Matella, Dan Bongino's podcast 668 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: back in the day, but I came across some quotes 669 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 2: from it, and and and he was definitely an enthusiastic 670 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: builder of attention and suspicion and anger about the whole deal, 671 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: and so I could see and then Pambonni with her 672 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: infamous the list is on my desk or it is 673 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: on my desk. In response to a question about the list, 674 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 2: I get that they're in a very very bad position now, 675 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: assuming that they're on the up and up, that there's 676 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: just no there there as they say.

We'll trade you 679 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: three years off your sentence if you just reveal anything 680 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 2: to us. 681 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 3: That seems like a big revelation, just to make everybody 682 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: shut up about it. I wonder if anything came out. Well, 683 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 3: I guess we'll find out if you miss an hour 684 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 3: or a segment.
