1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Cuba could be the next communist dictatorship to topple over 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: without the United States really even firing a single shot. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: The brilliance behind the Trump administration's plan, but also just 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: how it's playing out in regards to America's very close 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: geographical neighbor. Facebook interestingly has patented, or I should say 6 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Meta has patented something that is potentially deeply concerning in 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: a very interesting philosophical question posed and according to a 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: new book, Shakespeare was a black Jewish woman. 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: I gid you not. 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: That is an argument that a real book that is 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: published by a real author is making all that and 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: more coming on this episode of the show. Thanks so 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: much for tuning in. My name is Joe Bob. Show 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: starts right now. Stick around for getting to the point 15 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: for that last teas. That's an actual thing spoiler or 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: fact check. No, not true, but that somebody is saying 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: that it seemed too hilarious to not include what we're 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: even talking about. Cuba looks like it could be toppled 19 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: in the coming days, and by the time you've seen this, 20 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: maybe it already has topple, maybe it already has fallen. 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: Protests in the streets. We've talked about on the show 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: earlier this week, but I don't know. We'll see what 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: happens there. The brilliance though behind the Trump administration and 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: what they've done to possibly even facilitate a regime change 25 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: in Cuba without firing a single BULLETTPSA dot com is 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: even criticisms. And if those comments, wherever it is that 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: you happen to be watching this on social media or 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: emails are disgusting, vile and bigoted, downright nasty emails, there 30 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: is a chance that will read it on the show. 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: TPT at TPUSA dot com especially would love to hear 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: your thoughts about what's going on in Cuba, whether or 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: not the Trump administration should take a different approach, whether 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: or not you think that this is a fantastic approach. 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: I happen to think so, and I'll explain coming up next. 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: But TPT at TPSA dot com is that email one 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: more time. I love hearing from each and every one 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: of you who send it emails. We do read the 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: majority of them, so, by the way, even if we 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: don't have them on the show in the later part 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: of the show. Later segments of the show, we do 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: read pretty much everything that comes from TPT at tpusa 43 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: dot com. I want to start the day with what's 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: going on in Cuba. Obviously there's a tension all over 45 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: the world, specifically in Iran, before that in Venezuela. But 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: how have the Trump administration's tactics affected Cuba. I want 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: to first set this up by a hilarious clip that 48 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, gave in a Senate 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: hearing in which he was asked about regime change in 50 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Cuba and how that plays into what the administration has 51 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: done and how that actually might facilitate said regime change 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: without actually ever having to do really all that much 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: regarding military tactics. Here's cut six, Secretary Rubio saying what 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: he would like, Will. 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: You make a public commitment today to rule out US 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 3: regime change in Cuba? 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 4: Regime change? 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 5: Yes? 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: Oh no, I think we would love to see the 60 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: regime no change. We would like to That doesn't mean 61 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: that we're going to make a change, but we would 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: love to see a change. There's no doubt about the 63 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: fact that it would be a great benefit to the 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: United States if Cuba was no longer governed by an 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: autocratic regime. 66 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Now, obviously Senator Rubio's sorry, Secretary Rubio's family having escaped 67 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: from Cuba, he has a deeply rooted interest in this. 68 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: But obviously the question is posed, well, do we want military. 69 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: Involvement in Cuba? 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Well to quell some of those fears, we may not 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: have to the Trump administration. Interestingly enough, by way of 72 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Venezuela and threats on tariffs, I've made some pretty significant 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: inroads to toppling effectively the Cuban communist government without actually 74 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: having to insert any sort of military intervention. The Trump 75 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: administration has pursued more targeted economic pressure campaigns against Cuba, 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: which has resulted in a country that looks ripe for revolution. 77 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: On January third, the United States forces detained Venezuelan leader 78 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro after he said, uh, come and get me, 79 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: and Trump said okay, and so they did, which, you 80 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: know side tangents that still amazes me, like, hey, uh 81 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: we just we just stole your leader And wasn't really 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: no casualties. Yes, there was lots of bravery on display, 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: lots of military tactical brilliance on behalf of the United 84 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: States military joint effort, but also still just your guy, 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: so very funny. Anyways, So January third, that happens. The 86 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: United States captures the dictator of Venezuela and then effectively 87 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: took control of all of Venezuela's oil exports. Now, what 88 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: we haven't really discussed and haven't talked about as a 89 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: country is what that did to Cuba. Venezuelan exports were 90 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: going all over the place. They were going to China, 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: they were going to other countries around South America, but 92 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: specifically that cut off Cuba's about thirty five thousand barrels 93 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: per day, which is about half of the overall oil 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: supply in Cuba. And that happened overnight, just gone. So 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: obviously they're gonna be hurting for resources and supplies. Oil 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: in this circumstance, but also many other supplies that they 97 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: probably depended on the Venezuelans for all of those are 98 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: gone overnight. On January twenty ninth, President Trump signed an 99 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: executive order which warned sweep tariffs on any other country 100 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: that would ship oil or other goods to Cuba. Now, 101 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: obviously there's been some debate with the Supreme Court's ruling 102 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: on what he has power wise to issue those tariffs, 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: or at least issue the threats of those tariffs. Supreme 104 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Court said, no, you can't in this capacity. President Trump says, well, 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it in this capacity. So all 106 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: that being said, at the end of January, he says, hey, 107 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: it's actually going pretty well. Intentional or not, We've basically 108 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: cut off half of Cuba's oil supply, half of their 109 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: energy basically, and well, maybe you shouldn't participate in giving 110 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: them energy all of the other countries that may be 111 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: inclined to do so. So President Trump signs in an 112 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: executive order says, hey, if you help Cuba out, we 113 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: are going to institute tariffs on you. And the biggest 114 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: supplier of Cuban oil outside of Venezuela, Mexico, complied in. 115 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: Forty eight hours. 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Here is a cut of Cloudya Shinbaum, who is the 117 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: president of Mexico, saying how bad it is that this 118 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: is being done to Cuba. And also they're going to 119 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: participate because they don't want to mess with the United 120 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: States of America. This is obviously in Spanish, so I 121 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: will do my best to read the subtitles to you. 122 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: But here's her admitting, Yeah, we are complying with the 123 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: United States of America. 124 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: Watch this, it's the momentop right now. 125 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: The United States published a decree saying that they would 126 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: impose tariffs on any country that sends oil to Cuba. 127 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: We are taking all diplomatic actions to prevent tariffs on 128 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: Mexico for sending oil to Cuba, which means they're complying. 129 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: She also then goes and say, also making international calls 130 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: to the United States, that these sanctions are very unjust 131 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: for the Cuban people, because she has to say that, 132 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: oh no, it's so bad, but also not bad enough 133 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: for us to not participate in, because holy cow, you 134 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: don't want to be on the United States. 135 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: It's bad side. 136 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: Which is a good thing, kind of an intangible thing 137 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: in and of itself. You want countries to go, hey, 138 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: we disagree, but also we recognize that we're much smaller 139 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: and less powerful than you, and therefore we don't want 140 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: to upset you. That's a good stance for countries to 141 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: have towards the United States of America, And I guarantee 142 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: you they did not have in the prior administration or 143 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: the administration before the first time administration. So anyways, with 144 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: effectively no oil deliveries in January, Cuba now faced a 145 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: two thousand megawatt power gap by present day. By March, 146 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: about sixty four percent of the country has been experiencing blackouts, 147 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: some of which that have lasted twenty hours a day, 148 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: which if you're not familiar with the geography of Cuba, 149 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: that means you don't have air conditioning, which is bad, 150 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: especially you know if somebody like me is very very 151 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: used air conditioning. 152 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: Now you know, to combat that. 153 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: The other good news, as I guess well, because Cubas 154 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways of communists, hell hold, a 155 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: lot of them didn't have air conditioning to begin with, 156 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: so not not necessarily a huge problem. Now the fallouts 157 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: outside of like power outages and residential areas has spread 158 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: very very quickly, including jet fuel shortages at the nine 159 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: of the big Cuban airports, hospital, retirement facilities, a bunch 160 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: of different commercial facilities are now relying on backup generators. 161 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: The trash is piling up because the collection trucks don't 162 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: have gas. Bottom line, this is a bad thing for 163 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: the Cuban regime. Now we'll get to some of the 164 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: private enterprise. But more broadly, this has led to a 165 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: bunch of protesting in the streets. I want to play 166 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: you just a quick clip of just one instance of this. 167 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: This has cut eight, but basically underlying the fact that 168 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the Cubans are taking to the streets like the Iranians 169 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: were just a couple months ago, saying hey, this might 170 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: be our time. Watch this cut eight. I think you 171 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: get the picture. That's basically a bunch of Cubans lighting fires, 172 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: possibly even smoking cigars at this part. 173 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: Does I'm not sure. 174 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: I can't confirm that, but if I were there, I 175 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: would be doing that. But Cubans basically are taking to 176 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: the streets now protesting. Hey, this is a problem. Somebody 177 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: needs to fix it, reminds you, Just to remind reminder 178 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: of the United States has had zero military action whatsoever 179 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: here up to this point. Now, what's also interesting is 180 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: the timing of this all coincides with documented adversaries in 181 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: the United States. In this case, well, I guess in 182 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: this case, but the next one is a different one too. 183 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: The Chinese have had intelligence in Cuba, and there have 184 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: been confirmed reports of about twenty different US military installations 185 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: from US twenty different US military installations that have suggested 186 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: that China playing a part in Cuba is also being 187 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: massively affected by not only the power outages, but the 188 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: overall cornering off of Cuba from the rest of the world. 189 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: There was one site a military installation in Cuba pro 190 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: the United States that intercepted communications coming to Cuba from 191 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,239 Speaker 1: eight thousand nautical miles away, which I think they pinpointed 192 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: that somewhere around Taiwan. So bottom line here is the 193 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: Chinese are even being affected by this blockade of Cuba, 194 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: which has been done through economic sanctions effectively. On top 195 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: of that, Russia has been headed intelligence personnel in Cuban 196 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: facilities and Cuban civilian projects, and they too are also 197 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: experiencing some pretty difficult scenarios in trying to do their job. 198 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: The Russians, in response to all of this, have pledged 199 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: humanitarian oil shipments. Now they call it humanitarian because I 200 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: don't know they understand American language and know that the 201 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Libs are going to be very upset about this. You're 202 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: blocking humanitarian oil. But basically the bottom line is this, 203 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: the United States has effectively, through sanctions, blocked off a 204 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: ton of what's going on in Cuba re you know, 205 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: the regime holding power and just well people having power 206 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: to begin with. 207 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: And that is not only. 208 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: Affecting the protests or the people that would protest a 209 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: top of the regime in Cuba, but it's also affecting 210 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: several of our other adversaries, being Russia and China. All 211 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: of this is probably a good thing. Now, where this 212 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: could get really interesting is if Russia does decide to 213 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: send oil tankers, because well, there are really only two 214 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: options there. The United States lets the oil tankers go through, 215 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: or they blockade them and stop them, i e. You know, 216 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: Huban missile crisis two point zero. Now, I don't think 217 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: we're dealing with nukes here necessarily, but a blockade from 218 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: the United States would then inherently be military reaction in 219 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: some way, shape or form by the United States of America. Now, 220 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: the US has physically enforced restrictions in oil tanker vessels 221 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: regarding Venezuela. Obviously, those tankers that were seized by the 222 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: United States and Russia didn't really do anything, so there 223 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: is hopefully that But the bottom line is this takes nuance, 224 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: and because it takes nuance, the Trump administration and the 225 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: federal government Treasury has now issued new guidance permitting American 226 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: companies to resell venezuelan oil exclusively to Cuba's private businesses 227 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: based in the US dollar and regulated by US banks. 228 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: The Cuban government, however, in the military, receive absolutely nothing. 229 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: Now again, is that very complicated and complex? 230 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: Yes? 231 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: Is it difficult to make sure that those private companies 232 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: that are able to receive oil don't sell it to 233 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: the government or to the military. Yes, But overall, they 234 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: are effectively cutting off the regime's energy supply. They are 235 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: disrupting by the I mean we we are disrupting foreign 236 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: intelligence operations, and we are creating a pathway for the 237 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: US to give the private commercial sector companies in Cuba 238 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: energy while also continuing to apply economic leverage to weaken 239 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: the current government, while opening controlled opportunities for private enterprise 240 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: without firing a single shot. Now that's all what we 241 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: just said, very kind of convoluted in complex, Yes, because 242 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: the situation is very convoluted and complex. But the New 243 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: York Times, who mind you, is not a conservative out 244 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: but like they're not, they don't they don't have some 245 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: conservative takes there at the New York Times. Their opinion 246 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: writers in the conservative side are Avid French, who I'm 247 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: not entirely sure how he calls himself a conservative, but 248 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: that aside from the point The New York Times called 249 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: what the Trump administration is doing, which nobody is really 250 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: talking about maybe they will in the next coming days, 251 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: the first truly effective US blockade of Cuba since the 252 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two missile crisis, and it's been entirely accomplished 253 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: through sanctions and economic pressure rather than military action. Look, 254 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: these are complicated, they're complex. Nobody denies any of that. 255 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: But also too if you're thinking about it rationally and pragmatically, 256 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: somebody has. 257 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: To be the world police. 258 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: I realize there's a bunch of isolationists who I tend 259 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: to be in a lot of cases, who don't like 260 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: the idea of the United States being the world police. 261 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: But somebody has to. In order to facilitate global trade, 262 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: the see passages need to be free and clear. The 263 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: countries that are going to engage in open markets need 264 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: to be able to do so. And in all it's 265 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: either US or China who are going to police those 266 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: and who's going to do. 267 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: It most effectively and most fair for everybody. 268 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Around the world is going to be US, and that 269 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: also benefits the United States of America, which by default 270 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: would be America first. 271 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: Now I get that it's. 272 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: All complex and all, I don't know, semi difficult to 273 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: wrap your head around. But the bottom line, the main 274 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: point that I think I'm trying to make here is, 275 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe some people may think Trump is acting 276 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: too much. Maybe they think he's doing too much, and 277 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: that's a fair criticism. But at the same time, let's 278 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: all remember that anything that is over the bounds of 279 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: what the president generally would do regarding sanctions, regarding military action, 280 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: all of that is really only to compensate for, compensate 281 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: for everything that went wrong during the Obama years or 282 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: years prior to that. The United States is showing its 283 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: iron fist to the rest of the world by way 284 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: of military intervention in Iran, military intervention or kidnapping the 285 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: leader of Venezuela in Venezuela, or in this case, economic 286 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: sanctions in Cuba. Who is a regime that we would 287 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: like to see toppled over. But again, like Secretary Rubus has, 288 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: maybe not necessarily with military action, all of those things 289 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 1: are possible, and to an extent, even necessary because of 290 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: how weak the United States has been in the past 291 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: several decades. 292 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: The only reason that any of this needs. 293 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: To happen to the extent that it does need to happen, 294 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: and I'm open and willing to accept opinions TBT ATBUSA 295 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: dot com, is because of how weak the United States 296 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: has been in years prior, I, for one, happened to 297 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: think that President Trump taking back the gusto of American 298 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: might and military power is a good thing not only 299 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: not only for the world, but also for us here 300 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: at home. TBTTPSA dot com if you have any thoughts, comments, 301 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: concerns on that. I recognize it's very complex. I even 302 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: lost myself in a little bit kind of explaining all that. 303 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: Bottom line here is that we are implementing successful blockades 304 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: on Cuba, and that is a good thing for both 305 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: US and the Cubans. But any of your thoughts are welcome. 306 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: TVTATPUSA dot com got a lot to get to, including 307 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: some pretty I don't know, I don't know what to 308 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: call it, pretty scary headlines that I don't know if 309 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: they're necessarily scary. They're concerning philosophical questions coming up here 310 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: and getting to the point. Also the ridiculous headline that 311 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: I teased earlier about Shakespeare being a black Jewish woman. 312 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 2: I'll add more coming up after the break. 313 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 6: Don't go away? 314 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: How come? 315 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll just have Olympic gen it's not Dancing. 316 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 4: With the Stars. 317 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: It seemed to me they might be entering the contest 318 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: with a bit of a head star. 319 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: Oh the skill no, okay, okay, has a bit. 320 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 5: Of jam. 321 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 2: Oh world that sassy.

That'd be kind of fun. Seeh I never, never, 335 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: never quite understood that. That doesn't make a ton of 336 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: sense to me. All right, well, this is a fun 337 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: time let me scroll down to what we're got going 338 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: on here the time to get to the point. It 339 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: is a look around the news, getting to the point. 340 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: Get to the pone, get to the pond. 341 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: This one is concerning I would love to hear your emails, 342 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: read your emails. I won't hear your emails. But this 343 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: is from Business Insider. This launches into a very very 344 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: what could be very long, philosophical discussion about what does 345 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: death mean, which is way heavier than the things we 346 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: generally talk about on this show. But TTTVU said dot com, 347 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: we'll just read the headline and get you through a 348 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: very quick briefing of it. Business Insider says, this death 349 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: isn't the end. Meta patented inn ai that lets you 350 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: keep posting from beyond the grave. Meta is granted a 351 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: US patent in late December twenty twenty five, originally filed 352 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three for large scale language learning models LLLMS, 353 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: a system to simulate a user's social media activity, such 354 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: as posting, liking, commenting, or responding to messages when the 355 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: user is absent for extended period of times, including long 356 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: breaks or death. 357 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 2: Oh crap, I. 358 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean that's pretty much it. 359 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: That's the gist of it. 360 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: The patently explicitly addresses scenarios in which the user is 361 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: deceased and basically says, we will keep posting on your 362 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: platforms as you or as a AI modeled you when 363 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: you die. I recognize that this can turn into a 364 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: three hour philosophical conversation. I think I'll just say this, 365 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: and again I would This is of the things we 366 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: talked about on the show today. This is the one 367 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear the most about TBT ATPOSA dot com. 368 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: The brevity of life is the only thing that gives 369 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: it meaning. In other words, again without getting too philosophical here, 370 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the fact that you're going to die is the only 371 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: thing that allows you to live. Because if everybody lived 372 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: forever and there was no concern of death, you would 373 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: there would be nothing to strive for, because you could 374 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: do all the things, and therefore nothing is meaningful. The 375 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: fact that you only have a limited amount of time 376 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: on earth means that you have to prioritize the things 377 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: that matter to you, and therefore. 378 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: The things that. 379 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: Matter tend to matter more than you know all of 380 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: the other frivolous things that you just inevitably won't get 381 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: to in life. I mean that is the the the 382 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: curse of so many you know, I mean old modern 383 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: literature and older literature like is like living for a 384 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: long time. Like, I don't know why this is the 385 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: first thing that pops in head. I'm sorry that this 386 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: is just the way my brain thinks something. I think 387 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: I saw somebody at the gym in this morning in 388 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: a Twilight T shirt. But remember the vampire's curse is 389 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: that they live forever, and so I is this idea 390 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: that meta is going to keep you effectively alive to 391 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: your friends and family in that vein of like the 392 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: curse of perpetual existence. I don't know, Like I said, 393 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: this is this will be a fascinating, like very long 394 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: conversation about the ethics of a social media platform posting 395 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: for you after you die. But uh, I don't know, 396 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: not not the time or place for right now. But 397 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: I'd love to solicit your emails TBT atbusa dot com. 398 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: Is this something that you're like, oh cool or or 399 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: are you like me just freaked out by it? Tbt 400 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: atbusa dot com. There's a right answer, by the way, 401 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: all right, getting r out of the point getting to 402 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: the point of some other points. Do you remember just 403 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: Sinda our Den our our Dern. She is the weirdo 404 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: from New Zealand. She was the Prime Minister during COVID, 405 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: and she was like, yes, the blue cities in this 406 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: country were extremely locked down and you can just drive 407 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: to a red area. I live in a very red 408 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: area of California. 409 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: Yah. 410 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: You may not think that those exist, but they do. 411 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: We were done with masks before some red states. Just 412 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the geographical location. And what I mean 413 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: to say is that, yes, the the federal government under 414 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: a under President Fauci and Joe Biden and a bunch 415 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: of those crazy wackadoos said some pretty weird stipulations re COVID, 416 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: but for the most part, geographically you could get away 417 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: from that. 418 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: You could drive to. 419 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: A red area and you're not wearing masks, You're not 420 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: getting mandated, can't fine. Not so in New Zealand, this 421 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: lady was as dictatorial as dictators get. This is the 422 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: this is the country that was putting people in literal 423 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: prisons for not getting the jab or I don't know, 424 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: being sick. Like they would enclose entire areas and say 425 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: you can't leave because of like a cough. Anyways, that's 426 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: who this lady is. The headline here from CNN says 427 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: the former leader of New Zealand, Ardern has left New 428 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: Zealand and she's not the only one they are talking 429 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: about in this article that New Zealand has experienced a 430 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: significant exodus of citizens, particularly those in midlife, because the 431 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: country has been run so poorly and so tragically changed. 432 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: What is a beautiful, beautiful place. I've only been to 433 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: New Zealand one time, and to say that I've been 434 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: to New Zealand is a great exaggeration. I was there 435 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: for a layover, but even from the airport, Holy cow, 436 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: that place is beautiful. But because of the terrible policies 437 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: of the leaders in charge of New Zealand, a bunch 438 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: of people are fleeing the country and moving to places 439 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: like Australia, including the former freaking Prime Minister who has 440 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: become a high profile example of the trend of relocating. 441 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: She moved to Sydney, Australia, highlighting how the growing wave 442 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: of of midlifers and retirees are leaving the country. Sixty 443 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: percent of leavers. What does this say, Oh, let me 444 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: let me. While young adults traditionally undertake the overseas experience, 445 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: midlife immigrants are now the fastest paced growing leaving Australia, 446 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: where there's sixty percent of them are these middle aged. 447 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: People, which is wild. 448 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: I just thought that was fascinating that the folks, even 449 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: in other countries that have run the country into the ground, 450 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: are now leaving the country. My guess is that when 451 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom does not does not win the presidential race, 452 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: probably doesn't even get the nomination. May that's another big 453 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 1: discussion whether or not he's When Governor Newsom doesn't even 454 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: get the presidential now and stops being the governor of California, 455 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: he'll probably move to Texas because it's like this place sucks. 456 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: HI gotta get out of here. So such often as 457 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: the case. All Right, we got some wacky ones today. 458 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: It's towards the end of the week. So there's that. 459 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: This from Fox News. This this is the article that 460 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: I was teasing at the beginning of the show. New 461 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: book claims Shakespeare was actually a black Jewish woman poet 462 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: named Amelia Bassano. 463 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: Now, I there's a lot going on, not to. 464 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: Get to like Western literature, but this is from the 465 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: article In her upcoming book The Real Shakespeare Emilio Bassano Willembury, 466 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: author Irene Coslette claims William Shakespeare was not the man 467 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: from Stratford upon Avon, but actually a dark skinned Jewish 468 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: woman poet, possibly from North African descent, who lived during 469 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: the Elizabethan era. Now is ridiculed and crazy as this sounds, 470 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: let me try to attempt to explain what I think 471 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: is actually going on here in the time of William Shakespeare, who, 472 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: by the way, was one of the best I know 473 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: people get like William Shakespeare drones on. I don't understand 474 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: the language of it if you really sit down and 475 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: read it. Like Hamlet is one of the best philosophical 476 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: works of any playwright, really, any philosopher in not the 477 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: modern age, but you know, the sixteen hundreds, Julius Caesar 478 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: was one of the best political plays to kind of 479 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: portray the impact of rhetoric on political races and political power. 480 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: Shakespeare's is incredible. Now, even okay, without all of that 481 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: said at the time that Shakespeare was writing, this is 482 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: all an attempt to explain what's going on here in 483 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: this headline, which is ridiculous and crazy. At the time, 484 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: it was not uncommon for playwrights who are trying to 485 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: make a cultural philosophical take on what's going on in 486 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: their modern culture would take stories and not necessarily even 487 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: rewrite them, but add certain things that provide cultural context 488 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: to the story. It has often been pointed out that 489 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet, for example, is not an original Shakespeare's story, 490 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: and he never claimed that it was. Nobody ever said, okay, 491 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: well this is this is he made up the story. 492 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: This is a story that had been passed around and 493 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: retold throughout generations. That's what I think this article is 494 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: getting at. That's what I think this book is probably 495 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 1: getting at. Not having read it, and I won't read it, 496 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: I think what's probably happening is this lady is saying, look, 497 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: this is the person that originally wrote Romeo and Juliet. Yeah, okay, 498 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: age old story. A lot of different takes on it. 499 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: Shakespeare added a bunch of violence to it, which is 500 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: actually pretty interesting and says something in and of itself. 501 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: And we won't get into the book report that could 502 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: be on Shakespeare right now on Romeo and Juliet. But 503 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: what I think is happening here is somebody found like 504 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: what they believe is like the original telling of Romeo 505 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: and Juliet, and it happened to be a North African 506 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: Jewish woman. And they're trying to pass that off as 507 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: this is the retal Shakespeare. 508 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: No it's not. 509 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: And I think your title is specifically to try and 510 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: get headlines, which I guess it worked because we're talking 511 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: about it here. Anyways, that was one of the most 512 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: bizarre headlines I think I've come across in a very 513 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: long time. 514 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: And wrapping up, get to the point.

I think I read 606 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: that in the Free Beacon. But that's a shout out 607 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: to whoever thought of that joke.

This is President Trump saying something that is 636 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: just objectively true the other day and needs to be said, and. 637 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 2: That's that cut fourteen. 638 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 3: No, I don't want to brag, but you know they 639 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 3: said this about a lot of things. 640 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 2: No, as the president could do some of. 641 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 5: The I'm doing now as a president. 642 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 3: The things I'm doing nobody else was gonna do it. 643 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: They say it all the time, sir, could you do this? 644 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 6: You're the only one could do it. 645 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: That is so fantastically true and again probably can be 646 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: a bigger, longer discussion. But nobody else, as the president 647 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: of the United States, would have done or could have done, 648 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: what President Trump is currently doing. That's just objectively true. 649 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: Nobody has had the both conservatives and liberals alike. I 650 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: mean obviously liberals because they're there, got it their own 651 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: way of looking at the world through you know, rainbow 652 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: colored sunglasses that aren't reflective of real life. But I 653 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: mean again, even conservatives, Uh, nobody else would have been 654 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: able to pull it off. With President Trump's understanding of 655 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: the media and what he's done for this country couldn't 656 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: have been done by anybody else. All right, that's gonna 657 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: do it for official business? 658 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 2: Coming up? What's today?

What you hate is not 663 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 4: being on top of it. That's not a personality trade. 664 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 4: It's a low ranked perspective wrapped in more outrage. DISKI 665 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 4: since identity, I would hate it too, like the iPhone 666 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 4: you're watching this on. Oh, but you didn't have a choice, 667 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 4: you did. You chose trans inclusion status.

And then passed down judgment 700 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: upon a group of monks who were walking for peace? 701 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: You even't heard about this story? Late in twenty twenty five, 702 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 1: a group of monks started walking in Texas to DC 703 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: for peace. These if you didn't know, this is how 704 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: you solve problems. You walk a lot, go ahead. 705 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 2: And play the cut. This is uh, let's see what 706 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 2: is this? Cut? Thirteen? I believe. 707 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: Here are the monks walking there, They've passed DC and 708 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: now they're in North Carolina. 709 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 5: The Buddhist monks from watching them on social media, and 710 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 5: they represent so much for us to show us what 711 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 5: it really means to struggle and to show others how 712 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 5: to create that piece, even. 713 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 4: In hard time. 714 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: Now you may be wondering, Joe Bob, why are you 715 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: going to indict and prosecute monks who are just walking 716 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: for peace because they're complicit in idiocy Freaking hippies out 717 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: on the street corner thinking this is actually making a difference. Now, 718 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: do I want the monks to not walk for peace? 719 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: I don't particularly care. The problem is with the people 720 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: lining the streets thinking that this is making some sort 721 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: of tangible difference. That is my complaint with the walking monks. 722 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 1: So I am personally on this Justice Thursday indicting them 723 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: for being complicit in the stupefication of the United States 724 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: of America by way of convincing idiots that this is 725 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: somehow making some sort of difference. Interestingly enough, the jury, 726 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 1: which is comprised of me, has gotten back to us 727 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 1: and the verdict is in guilty on all counts. The 728 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: walking monks who are walking for peace for some reason, 729 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: in forced Gump esque fashion, are guilty, and the sen jeez, wow, 730 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: the sentence that came into my head is just is 731 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: not It's not appropriate for TV. If I was amongst 732 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: friends in a room where it was being recorded. I 733 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: would possibly issue a sentence that may or may not 734 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 1: correspond with some of the other types of protests that 735 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 1: monks have participated in in the past, some for totally 736 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: good measure, but that sort of cruel that would fall 737 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: under cruel and unusual punishment, which I believe is the 738 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: AHT the moendment. 739 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 2: So I won't. 740 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: I will issue a sentence upon these monks of not 741 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: exile having to continue their walk through the streets of 742 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco.
