I looked at the people. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.520 They're not representative of this country. And I looked at 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.080 all the brand new science paid for. I guess it 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.960 was paid for by sorrows. Another radical level of it 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:01.920 looks like it was. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.160 We're checking it out. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.960 The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.160 who worked up. When you look at those people, those 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.319 are not representative of the people of our country. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:15.840 Francis, I'm not a king. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.399 I'm not a king. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.720 I work my ass off to make our country great. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:20.520 That's all it is. 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.559 I'm not a king at all, exactly what you'd expect 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:24.440 a king to say. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:30.280 Oh, very kingly of you, mister, your highness Trump guy. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.040 The No King's Rally said to be the biggest demonstrations 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.280 in the United States in the last fifty years, maybe ever, 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.400 and Trump responded to it with mockery. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.039 Yeah, you know, it didn't help. He's weren't a king. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.040 He had the velvet robe around him, surrounded by knaves. Oh, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.720 he's very kingly active, got the. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.800 Crown on flying a fighter jet with the AI video 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.040 that said King Trump and dumping poop on people in 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.240 the streets. It's very kingly. But here's why it's so mockable. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.240 What was it about, just to generalized we don't like Trump. Yeah, 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.600 we know you've seen the polls. You didn't like Trump 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.280 on Friday, you marched on Saturday, you still didn't like 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.240 Trump on Sunday. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.239 Okay. Well, like I said. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:21.120 Earlier and I will hold to this, protests are way overrated. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.400 It was a big deal. It may have actually had 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.280 an effect on a major issue in the sixties with 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.160 civil rights, but I'm not sure it's done anything since then. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.480 I've protester just overrated. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.360 Right, right, And part of The problem with the no 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.919 so called no King's protest because we don't want a 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.560 damn king. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.840 Who's with me? Uh? Was that it was it's the 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:44.760 omni cause. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:49.280 It's just every progressive or anti Trump cause that exists 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.480 coming together and shouting, Yeah for us, look it up. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.000 We're all together and we're yelling together, and this feels 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.720 wonderful and it's so exciting. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.680 If it was like a single issue. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.080 And that number of people turned out, you'd have to 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:02.960 pay attention to that. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:04.919 Yeah, I wouldn't be mocking it right now. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.000 If it was we need rent control nationwide, for instance, 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.720 I would be taking that extremely seriously. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:11.880 Still don't know how. 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.799 Much it does as opposed to you put that same 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.160 amount of effort into getting people registered to vote weren't 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.560 already registered, or turning out to the polls when you're 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.920 voting on immigrants, for instance, when you're voting when you're 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.240 voting on a particular issue or whatever. I just I 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.799 don't nobody will remember this come midterm. I mean I'm nobody. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.160 Remember, barely remembered in time for the show, right, I 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.160 had to remind myself. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.920 Here's speaker Mike Johnson with the. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.120 Thought the irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.680 If President Trump was a king, the government would be 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:41.360 open right now. 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.280 If President Trump was a king, they would. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.840 Not have been able to engage in that free speech 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.040 exercise out on the mall by the way, which was open, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.320 because President Trump hasn't closed it. So I mean it's 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.440 they needed a stunt, they needed a show. Chuck Schumer 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.720 has needs cover right now. He's closed the government down 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.680 because he needs political cover, and this was a part 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:57.960 of it. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.560 You know, it's not fair of us, Jack. I think this. 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.080 I think the smart people probably realize, good, nice giant 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:12.240 protest a release valve of energy that will not be 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.720 used on anything consequential, right, I'd be happy about that. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.599 And we'll have every speaker say be sure to donate 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.600 at dem dot gov as well or dem dot org 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.160 or whatever, and so we'll get a great cash hall. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.719 But it's unfair of us to characterize what these people 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.200 were saying. Michael, give us a forty one forty two 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.920 back to back. We'll let them speak for themselves of bits. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:35.880 Yeah, why is that? I don't know. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.560 We don't like him, that's the word around here. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.920 Any any particular reason why you don't like. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.320 Him, no clue at all. I'm just going with everybody else. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.120 Saying, why specifically are you out supporting? 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.599 No stack, I think protest is important, and what's. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.800 The main reason you're out here? Protest and President Trump? 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.480 You with a lot of the decisions that are being made. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.480 Is there any decision in particular you disagree with? 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:03.840 Well, okay, so I I would start with, I don't 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.240 even think it's appropriate for me to have this interview. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.400 He started to take control and do illegal things. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.360 So deporting illegal immigrants is that illegal? 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.000 Deporting illegal immigrants if they're here peacefully. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.159 Yes, give me everybody you can possibly bring into the 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:21.000 United States. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.799 Why can't anybody seem to actually kill the president? Because 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.279 no one's been successful and good presidents are dead. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.760 Now those might look in for instance, those might have 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.680 been five dumbest people out of the seven million the 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.640 protests that I don't know, But says the progressive Jack 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.880 that first guy was. Is he an example of like 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.440 the Dunning Kruger effect, incompetent people don't know they're incompetent. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.680 Smart people think they know everything about everything. But he, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.719 I mean his why are you out here? No clue? 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.960 But I'm out here. Are you willing The word around 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.320 here is we don't like Trump. The fact that you're 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.360 willing to say out loud, I have no clue. I'm 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.320 out here knows you don't know. You're incompetent, because that's 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.560 a ridiculous thing to. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.599 Say, any particular reason why you don't. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.120 Like him, no clue at all. I'm just going with 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.080 everybody else. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.440 Saying in fact that he's so so confidently says, no 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.520 clue at all, no idea why I'm here, what a 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:17.080 thing to. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.200 Say, any any particular reason why you don't like. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.440 Him, No clue at all, going with everybody else. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.640 Absolutely, no idea, no, nope, not even the shred of 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.599 an idea. Nope, not even going to name an issue, never, 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.360 never mind how I stand on it. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:31.720 Nope. Uh. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.839 Here's a Chicago protester. This a little scary forty five. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.039 You gotta grab a cub. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.640 We gotta churn around the cons on this fascist system. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:47.120 These ice Asians gotta get shot and wiped out, stay. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.200 The stay machinery. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.480 That's a fair splay, right there, has to. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.920 Get wiped out. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.040 No, I'm sure you're tired of hearing that and seeing 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.560 that on your news, because if that was some sort 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.520 of conservative rally and somebody was saying that it would 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.200 be the present. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.159 And finally, forty four. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.159 Here's a middle aged white progressive lady talking to ABC News. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.280 What brings you out here today? 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:12.720 Democracy is dying. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:13.520 We have to say that. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.040 Democracy is dying. We have to save that. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.360 Of course, both sides thinking democracy is dying, but for 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.360 completely different reasons. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.440 Right right, And Trump won the election. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:32.160 Fairly handily and now is instituting the policies he promised 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.160 he would. Now, there are some of those policies I 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.360 think are bad, and you know I say so on 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:44.200 the air. But the deludedness of it is why it's 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:48.200 such a joke. All Right, you had your protests, Now 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.200 what take a look around? 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.280 You so tiring? Yeah, I know it really is. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.080 But it's it's our national obsession with politics that in 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.120 you know, the feminization of America that we're going to 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.680 be talking about more tomorrow. But it just feels so 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.360 good to be among like minded people and telling each 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.400 other you're right, you're right, we're all right, we're all 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.520 in agreement, we're all fighting the evil Orange man. Then 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.200 you go home, having accomplished nada and that's our only 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.280 shared TV show. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.320 As I keep talking about, right, it is the American 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.840 pastime politics. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.680 I know a guy, very very nice guy friends, He 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.400 and his family go to all these protests. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.400 Pick the kids. It's a big thing. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:29.880 Name. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.600 I'll see you out there, you know with the other 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.600 there are other friends. It's a it's a social thing, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:35.080 right right. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.480 I'd love to sit down and talk to them for 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.640 a minute about you know, rent control and that sort 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:39.920 of thing. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.600 But that's not what it's about. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.119 It's really it's not about policy, it's not about governance, 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.559 it's not even about personalities. Really, it's just about the 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.240 feeling of togetherness. They in the seventies they called it 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:55.520 the warm and fuzzy feeling. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:56.400 Man. I'll tell you what. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:01.400 When I drove through that protest in my cyber truck, 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.680 I was the bell of the ball. Everybody was paying 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.520 attention to me. I was very exciting for a while. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.079 My kids were really glad. My windows down and it 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.360 was just everybody was shouting at me, flipping me off, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.880 or on the other side cheering me nice. The sides 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.800 reversed from what they would have been three years ago. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.120 Dripping an electric. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.360 Car, yeah, yeah, you got to get that thing wrapped 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.560 in a flag with some sort of how about Trump 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.679 twenty twenty eight. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.560 Oh my god, with a bald eagle and an American flag. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.800 I would like my tires to not be slashed. Every 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.880 time I go to get in and drive somewhere, I'd 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.880 have to carry like twenty spare tires in the bed 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.240 of my truck, like every time I stop at the 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.160 mall or the school or anywhere, to have to put 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.080 on new tires every trip. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.000 I was going to tell you to move out of 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.760 your communist hell hole, but virtually everywhere you go there's 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:55.120 that one one to forty percent of activists to get 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.120 so fired up and think they're so justified they would 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.239 slash your tires. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.079 People are so angry at me. What do you want 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:05.440 me to do? 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.319 I tried to big German car.

One victim ran 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.960 out into the roadway trying to get away from the shooter. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.080 The other two victims hid. We had several phone calls. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.960 The shooter himself called nine to one one. Arming yourself 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.480 with a handgun when you're under the influence is not 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.079 a good idea. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:48.760 There's never going to be a good outcome with that. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.400 Oh, under the influence. Well that's explained some of it. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.560 I guess how you got into a to the death 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.360 argument about how many eggs a chicken can lay under 0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.480 the influence played a role. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.839 You know, it's not made clear in this account, and 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.280 I find this highly dissatisfying. Is who is claiming what 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.280 reed chicken egg laying matcha lay one hundred eggs a day? No, 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.320 it can't buy, buy buy, it's lucky if it lays 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.080 one a day? What I ought to shoot you in 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.199 your belly? Who was on which side of the argument? 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.319 What were the claims and counterclaims here? What was the 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:32.400 evidence presented? So this is interesting. Using your credit card 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.280 at the checkout line is about to get a lot 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:40.600 more complicated. Now Visa and MasterCards settled a long running 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.640 legal battle that gives merchants more flexibility on card acceptance. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.640 So your favorite latte at your local coffee shop could 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.520 soon cost you five dollars or five dollars and ten 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.320 cents or five dollars in twenty five cents, depending on 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.160 how you pay. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.839 So, first of all, when did we completely abandon having 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880 to show an ID with a credit card? Remember that 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.720 was the thing for many, many years, because we're sign anything. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.719 What if this wasn't your credit card? But now I 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.560 use my watch. I tapped with my watch all the time. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.080 Nobody's ever asked me for an ID. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.080 So anyway, settlement between Visa MasterCard and some US merchants 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.800 US Merchants announced this week usher in a new era 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.040 of tiered pricing at the register, giving businesses more power 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.560 to charge fees depending on the credit card you use. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.760 I think it when I'm behind some old lady who's 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.720 got a combination of a check and some EBT card 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.520 and like some coupons, and I don't know, I've been 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.680 a gift card and combining like five different things. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.600 Can I just pay for it all and then you 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:43.760 get the hell out of my way? 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:49.520 Trying to trade in some shiny shells, a little farder, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:50.640 a little womp them. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.680 Maybe I can come clean up on Saturday, and now 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:53.720 wouldn't that pay for the milk? 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.120 So this anti trust battle over interchange fees has been 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.080 going on for two decades and I can't decide whether 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.640 that makes me wish I had become a lawyer, because 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.400 oh my god, you talk about you know, two farmers 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.839 claim they owned the cow. One farmer pulled on the head, 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.680 the other pulled on the tail, and the lawyer milk 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.080 the cow. They may milking this cow for two decades. 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.640 Settlement still needs CORD approval, likely to be contested by 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:21.720 some merchant groups. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.400 Blah blah blah. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.640 Merchants have always had the right to refuse to do 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.920 business with a payment network entirely, like Costco only takes 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.839 Visa cards yep, But current network rules say if a 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.319 store accepts one Visa credit card, it has to accept 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.240 all Visa credit cards. Well, the settlement could change that 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.920 practice by allowing merchants to pick and choose which categories 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.720 of cards to accept within network. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.920 There's also the dollar limit that I don't know if 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.200 there's any legality around it, but like I buy something, 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.280 they say you can only use your card if you 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.880 spent eight dollars or something, and then I got to 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:56.679 grab something else? 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.640 What else you got? Okay, a cigarette lighter? I don't smoke? 0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.720 Is this make it eight dollars? 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.840 Wow? And the settlement could go further, allowing different search 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.880 charges depending on the category your card falls into, Like 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.120 if you have a basic no frills card, you might 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.400 get charged two and a half percent of the transaction amount. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.520 It's the reverse of a cash discount, whereas if you 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:20.520 have a rewards card it's three percent. Really, you really 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:25.200 wouldn't know what you're paying until you're paying it. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:30.880 Paying cash just seems so troublesome. You made me change 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.040 and then where am I going to put that? 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:33.400 Yeah? 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:34.880 Track of that? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.200 And then this story a man in France was having 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.040 a swimming pool dug in his backyard and they found 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.560 eight hundred thousand. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.880 Dollars worth of gold bars whoa. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.680 Town council confirmed the man will be allowed to keep 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.280 the gold he found, according to the French News news agency, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.120 five gold bars and a large amount of gold coins 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.440 wrapped in plastic bags. The man, who wishes to remain 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.720 anonymous for reasons that ought to be fairly obvious, reported 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:09.200 define to the local council, French archaeological officials and law 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.400 enforcement got involved in determined if the gold had been 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.480 if the gold had archaeological significance, in which case it 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.600 could be considered state property, or if it was stolen 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:23.800 from somewhere and the gold bars had unique ID numbers. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.560 Law enforcement determined the gold was not stolen and the 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.680 bars were only fifteen to twenty years old, and so 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.680 they had no historical significance, so the guy got to 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.120 keep the money. My daughter, who's in law school right now, 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:41.160 became at one point fascinated by the law of abandoned property, 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:49.640 which is fairly complicated and convoluted because and I don't 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.080 remember the details of it, but like, if somebody sells 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.040 you a house and it's left on the property, I 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.800 think they have a claim to it still, But if 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.120 you then sell the house and the next guy they 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.480 don't have a claim against him or a certain number 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.760 of years, is super convoluted and interesting. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.520 And anybody who's like a scavenger or. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.880 What do you call when you do that at sea 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.120 you reclaim rex and stuff like that. There's all sorts 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.160 of laws surrounding that. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.600 Yeah, I was just thinking we should do away with 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.160 change in general, shouldn't We did away with the penny, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:28.640 but with inflation, change is not worth much, so you're 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.680 down less than a dollar, which is like, I don't know, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.000 forty cents compared to what it was ten years ago. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.840 And I'd be fine with stores that just don't do change. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.960 They round up or down for everything. We'll just make 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:43.320 it even. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.200 Yeah, they'd always round up. I think there would be 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.440 an investigation shortly after whatever. It's thirty cents. I don't 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.600 want to carry around some nickels and pennies. How about 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.120 this Daddy Warbucks. Poor people frequently don't have credit cards 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.560 and need to do transactions in cash, and therefore we 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:01.480 must have change. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.560 And that's not what I see at the convenience store. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:10.520 Usually have some sort of government card for the scratchers vaping. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:12.720 And energy drink. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.200 Yeah, I try to stay away from poor people because 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:17.600 I'm afraid it might be catching. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.119 But that was a joke. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:27.000 That was a joke, friends, just jokey and silly. These 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.080 are serious times, confusing, dark, threatening times. Just trying to 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:31.800 have a little fun. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:42.240 Strong the Armstrong and Getty shirt. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.280 Kamala Harris has been doing her ill advised train wreck 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.639 of a book tour one and seven days. 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.960 If I'd have just had a couple more days. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.720 In terms of herridiculousness. Who do you think is winning 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:07.200 the race to be the most ridiculous, KJP or Kamala? 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.920 I don't know. I pretty hard to be. 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.560 Yeah, yeah, anyway, So we're going to play a head 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.640 full of clips of an interview Kamala did with an 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:23.800 Australian news outlet. The first clip, it's the is not 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.360 the payoff, but it sets the tone for what follows. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.400 So we'll go ahead and get started. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.320 Michael, wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him? 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:36.040 Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.840 that you faced a nearly impossible task. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.800 I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:51.680 ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.280 misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.480 that there are a fair number of people that voted 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.720 for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.840 that his first priority on day one is going to 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.679 be to bring down prices, and he didn't. And you 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:16.199 combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was that 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.320 play in terms of massive amounts of misinteristance for me? 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.359 All right, I see where this is going, seeing as 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.040 how she didn't even come close to answering the question 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:30.760 is I've always it's funny these callbacks because I hadn't 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.720 heard her in a while. That tone she takes what 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.960 happened was I'm about to lay a truth bomb on you. 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.679 That's just going to knock you out of your shoes, 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.760 and then she never does. And the other advantage the 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:42.560 Aussie gal. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:47.280 Has is that she has no awe for the second 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.040 in command of the American government. 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.720 Just as if I was interviewing the Vice Premiere. 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.959 Or whatever the position would be of Australia, I wouldn't 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:55.679 give a damn. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.600 It'd be like, no, I'm asking you the questions I 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.560 want to ask. I've boxed kangaroos. Do you think I'm 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.520 scared of you? Oh? Riichy, it rolls on now, forgive me. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.280 And I wanted a calendar in terms of yes, the clerk, 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.240 I want to interrupt you, because that is a world 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.199 class pivot. But it is not the question that I 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.840 asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.800 his own frailties and what that did to you. The 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.080 question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:24.600
