WEBVTT - Like Juicy Steaks

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong and Gatty and Key Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 3>WNDA players are sending a very frank message to the

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 3>league during a very pivotal time. The All Stars warming

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 3>up in these T shirts last night that read pay

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>us what you owe us the game, later drawing chance

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 3>from fans echoing pay them.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 2>This comes a mid negotiations ran I really need out

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 2>of that.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 4>So the w NBA players came out on the court

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 4>for their All Star Game, which I did not see,

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 4>wearing shirts that said play us what you pay us,

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 4>what you owe us, and that caused a lot of

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 4>online chatter. Is that sort of thing will? A lot

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 4>of people pointing out the fifty dollars the league lost

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 4>most recent season According to the NBA, which owns the WNBA,

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 4>The WNBA is supported by only exists really because of

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 4>the NBA finally subsidized by Yeah. Others are claiming that

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 4>all that math has changed since Caitlin Clark came in

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 4>and their ratings are up. The average attendance is up

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>all across the country. I don't have any idea the

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 4>numbers of that, but at least historically it has been

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 4>a league that would not exist on its own if somebody,

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 4>if the NBA wasn't for some reason thinking it's in

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 4>their best interest to have a woman's version out there.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 4>There's not enough of an appetite to make it a

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 4>profitable business at least a pisted.

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 5>Two main motivations in doing that is far as I've

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 5>been able to gather. Number One, it's a decent idea

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 5>because like women's soccer is pretty big and profitable, and

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 5>they thought maybe there's a market for this. The second

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 5>thing is they are a league that has had problems

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 5>with guys who don't treat women very well, and especially

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 5>during the hashtag me too era when it was for

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 5>that two and a half years or whatever it was,

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 5>you had to desperately signal that you were good with

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 5>women and up with women and down with domestic violence

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 5>and rape and the rest of it, and aren't we

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 5>all I'm differentiating frantic virtue signaling with actual morals. That's

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 5>part of it. They just thought it was really good

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 5>for their image. I points it was like buying carbon

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 5>credits or something.

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>As I was just.

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Reading one article preparing for this. Apparently the NBA purposefully

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 4>makes the books on this pretty murky, so it's pretty

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 4>difficult to figure out how much they subsidize and how

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 4>much money the WNBA makes or dozen or whatever. But

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 4>it is worth pointing out that the players, and they're

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 4>voting for other players on the All Star Team had

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Caitlin Clark at ninth. You're out there wearing shirts for

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 4>the All Star Game and says, pay us what are worth?

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 4>If you get a raise, it's because of Caitlyn Clark.

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, so I wouldn't be hating on her too much.

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Stadium was full for the All Star Game, Jack, do

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 5>you know where it was held?

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Guessing apples? Guessing where she plays? Right?

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, coincidence. That's kind of funny, isn't it.

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean you don't have to like her, I suppose,

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 4>but you ought to realize that if you make more money,

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 4>she's entirely the reason.

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Right now.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Might not be fair, of course, but you know where

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 4>does fair come into entertainment? Well, for instance, as I

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 4>just spent an unholy amount of time watching the British Open,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 4>or the Open Championship as we prefer to call it

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 4>in the golf world over the weekend.

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Tiger Woods was a prick.

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 5>But every single guy with a golf club in his

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 5>hands playing on TV will tell you, oh man, our

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 5>sports just exploded because of Tiger. We're all making a

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 5>hell of a lot more money because of Tiger.

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Back in the day, I would have watched. I would

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 4>have known the tournament was on this weekend. I didn't,

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 4>and would have watched some if Tiger was playing, and

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 4>because I would have pulled in people like me.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly. Anyway, coming up later, I.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 5>Was gonna I've got a bunch of economic like a

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 5>kitchen table, you know, economic dollars and cents stories to

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 5>touch on real quickly.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why I wanted to do this. Getting into it.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 4>The Caitlin Clark thing is just because it's all it's

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 4>almost so many things are not presented as a dollar

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 4>and cents sort of way. It's not nothing to do

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 4>with fairness or whether women deserve a platform, but blah blah.

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Blah, none of that has anything to do with anything.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 5>Major league shortstop makes forty million dollars a year when

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 5>a school teacher makes eighty thousand. Yeah, that's correct, that's

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 5>absolutely correct, and that's precisely the way it should be anyway,

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 5>unless we as a society decide to reprioritize. But we

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 5>haven't anyway. So a couple of things worth noting. Economically speaking,

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 5>here's a little ab for you. Headline A from the

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Wall Street Journal, the US economy is regaining its swagger.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Consumer spending again.

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 4>Consumers spending again after spring's tariff chill. But some expect

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 4>growth to be slow. But there doesn't seem anything. It

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 4>seemed to be anything that can slow down the economy.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Then this headline, it's like the next story, Europe prepares

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 4>for a US trade fight. We're about to start a

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 4>trade war with our biggest trading partner over Trump's whole

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 4>tariff thing and.

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Trade imbalances and the rest of it.

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 5>And although in his defense, Europe has had very very

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 5>one sided in their favor rules and rags about trading

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 5>with the US.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 4>It does confuse me somewhat that I feel like I've

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 4>heard five to and different entities.

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Are our biggest trading partner.

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 4>That stat seems to get thrown around a lot. Our

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 4>biggest trading partner, Mexico, our biggest trading partner. You're up

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 4>our biggest trading partner, China, our biggest trading partner.

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 4>If it's just like which version you use of the

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 4>way you slice it.

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. That's an interesting thought. Yeah. Yeah.

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 5>So one of the points that they make in the

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 5>second article about the alleged trade war is that nobody's

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 5>really sure if any of the stuff is ever going

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 5>to happen, the tariffs and the trade wars and the

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 5>sturm and drong, and as markets tend to do, they

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 5>get used to things.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a more technical term for that.

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 5>But now they're like, oh, yeah, Trump' shooting off his

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 5>mouth about a trade war again. Huh interesting? What do

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 5>you want to have for lunch? In a way that

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 5>you know six months ago people go in nuts? And

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 5>then finally this I thought this was really interesting. Now

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 5>not a political thing because I don't care. Yeah, go ahead,

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh Lutnick his main spokesman on the whole thing. Oh Lutnick.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Howard Lutnick was on one of the shows yesterday and

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 4>I should have had Hanson grabbed the quote. He said

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 4>something like, in the next two weeks, Americans are going

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 4>to see the best something or other they've ever seen

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 4>in their lives economy or business climate, or stock market

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 4>or something. But anyway, he's claiming, in the next two weeks,

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna it's gonna be the most amazing you've ever

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 4>seen in your life.

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, cool.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 5>That's during the heels of the ninety deals in ninety

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 5>days and there was like one and a.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Half m.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Show me, don't tell me, eh and then this, and

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 5>again I'm not trying to make any point.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I just found it interesting.

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 4>It's a entirely economic strategy.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's it.

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 5>For instance, in January, a Campbell's New England clam chowder

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 5>can of soup costs less than two bucks on Amazon.

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.119
<v Speaker 5>A this month can of So you're ordering your clam

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 5>soup on Amazon to have delivered rights to your door.

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 5>What a time to be alive. What a great country.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 5>And it's less than two bucks. And you can be

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 5>in a part of the country where you haven't seen

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 5>a clam since you know, but you can get it

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 5>delivered to your door the next day, maybe the same day.

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 5>And this month, that same soup costs two sixty on Amazon,

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 5>a thirty percent increase in the five months since President

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 5>Trump first announced sweeping tariffs. Amazon has quietly raised prices

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 5>on low cost products, a bunch of them. Deodorant, protein shakes,

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 5>PetCare items, blah blah blah. Wall Street Journal analysis and

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 5>nearly twenty five hundred items.

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Found on average.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Prices on inexpensive goods increased five percent by July. So

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 5>it's not a ton, but it's some. In April, Amazon

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 5>said they would hold the line on prices, but indeed

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 5>they have raised them on thousands and thousands of items.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 5>Walmart lowered prices on the same items by nearly two percent.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 4>Okay, let's say items. What's going on there? Different business strategies.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 4>Here's what Lutnick said, how do you reverse public opposition?

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh, they're going to love the deals that President Trump

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 6>and I are doing.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're just going to love them.

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 6>The President figured out the right answer and sent letters

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 6>to these countries said this is going to fix the

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 6>trade deficit. This will go a long way to fixing

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 6>the trade deficit. And that's gotten these countries to the table.

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 6>And they were going to open their markets or they're

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 6>going to pay the tariff. And if they open their markets,

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 6>the opportunity for Americans to export to grow their business, farmers, ranchers, fishermen.

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.959
<v Speaker 6>This is going to be the next two weeks are

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 6>going to be weeks for the record books.

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 2>President Trump is going to deliver for the American people.

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 4>Next two weeks are going to be weeks for the

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 4>record books. I hope it's true as juicy as Trump steaks.

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 4>That's right, It's going to be fabulous. Why that was

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 4>just why its Why do you need to do that?

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Because I'm a realist, I demand realism. I think you

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 4>should put on your Trump shoes and walk that back.

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Take a look at my Trump watch and it's not running.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>That's on.

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 5>So here's here's one of the difficulties in speaking of

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 5>these things quickly. It reminds me of the end of

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 5>the last hour. Jack said something about the Epstein thing,

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 5>and I said, well, it depends what you mean by

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 5>the Epstein thing.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 2>As we are discussing last week.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 5>There are many different sizes you can order of the

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 5>Epstein quote unquote conspiracy. Some are very modest, fact based.

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 5>This guy was a perv. He was getting underage girls

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 5>for other pervs. Who are they? Why have so few

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 5>charges been filed? That is a perfectly reasonable, fairly conservative

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 5>way to look at it.

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Then you got your.

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Full blown the Jews are running a worldwide sex pizza

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 5>under see Hollywood driven sex cabal thing.

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Different version of the Epstein thing.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 5>When you're talking about the tariffs and the trade wars

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 5>and the agreements, you almost have to talk about every

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 5>country or every set of countries differently, because it's absolutely

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 5>true Europe has all sorts of trade barriers against us

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 5>that are the legacy of the post WW two era

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 5>when they were decimated, and we were smart to help

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 5>them grow their economies so they would become customers again

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 5>and become trading partners again, and ally is worth having again,

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 5>that was smart.

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>It needs to end now.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 5>The only reason their economies are weak is because they're socialists,

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 5>and we've been defending them against foreign adversaries for the

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 5>last seventy five years. Having said all that, the whole

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 5>trade deficit thing is just silly. That's not a problem

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 5>except in very rare cases.

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Here's a for instance.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 5>This is another Trump is silly thing. Sorry, I'm piling

0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 5>on a bit. I love what he's done on the

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 5>border and cleaning up the woke in the universities.

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't love it. Anymore. But this stuff is just silly.

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Love that the Oval Office now looks like a Chinese restaurant. Absolutely.

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 5>Finally, so Trump announced last week that he's ordered Coca

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.239
<v Speaker 5>Cola to put cane.

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Sugar ben right, that's right, finally, that's what I said

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 4>of cord, the issue I voted on.

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and uh, here's the problem. Though, we have a

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 5>huge shortage of sugar in this country. We don't produce

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 5>nearly as much as we eat because we're.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>A fat, fat people. We produced about.

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Four million tons of cane sugar four million. We consume

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 5>twelve and a half million.

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 5>The rest is made up by imports and sugar source

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 5>from sugar beets, which is a little bit different. And

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 5>so we would have to have an enormous increase in

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 5>sugar imports from.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Brazil and Mexico.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Okay, those are country is that face Trump administration tariffs

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 5>of fifty and thirty percent respectively on August first, allegedly,

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 5>so your coke could be about three dollars and fifty

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 5>cents for one thing. And secondly, all of a sudden,

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 5>out of nowhere, we would have enormous trade deficits because

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 5>they have something we want that doesn't hurt us my grocery.

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 4>I have an enormous trade deficit with my grocery store.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 4>I give them way more money than they give me.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 4>I can't in fact, I can't find any record of

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 4>them giving me any money. But that money filters its

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 4>way through the economy into my pocket and it's fine.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 4>So it's just it's a silly way of looking at it.

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Big sugar or something. Yeah, I just I don't get

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 4>his strategy.

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it's just his his I'm crazy hardball and it

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 5>yields great agreements.

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's the case.

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 4>It may be getting a pet psyche could help your

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 4>dog's life. Also, I want to be a billionaire. Work

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 4>ninety hours a week. That's the answer. Among other things

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 4>on the way.

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 8>TVs announced they are indeed ending the late night comedy

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 8>show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next year.

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Kimmel blasted.

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 8>The decision with a foul mouth post on Instagram. He

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 8>would have done it on his show, but he wanted

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 8>people to see it.

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of funny. Wow.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 4>So Tulsa Gabbert, the skunk striped National Security National Director

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 4>of Intelligence or whatever she is, made some explosive claims

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 4>yesterday about information she has about the Obama administration purposefully

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 4>fabricating stuff about Russia, Gates, et cetera, et cetera. That

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 4>including Barry himself, if true, would be a really big deal.

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>So we'll explain that coming up. Yep.

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 5>Indeed, a couple of really cool stories from the world

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 5>of science, one being that, and I became aware of

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 5>this because a friend is involved in this. But can

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 5>new blood tests really detect cancer early? A federally funded

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 5>study will research whether a new generation of cancer blood

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 5>tests are ready for patients.

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a big giant study. Yeah.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 5>These multi cancer, multi cancer early detection tests are designed

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 5>to flag the aeron genetic signatures of more than a

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 5>dozen cancers. Wow, how doctors and medical practices are already

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 5>using them?

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 4>How often do you think we'd be jabbing ourselves? Would

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 4>we start doing it at home? Because it's so we're

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 4>going in like every How often would you do it?

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Probably every couple of years would be enough. Right? No, God, No.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>When I got when I had my cancer, I asked

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 4>him how long do you think I had this? They

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 4>said it could have been nine months, or it could

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 4>have been a couple of weeks depends on how fast

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 4>it grew. But yeah, I think you'd have to go

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 4>in every month, or you'd want to if you could

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 4>catch this gieminy. I don't want to get jabbed every month.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't cancer either, But you know, I wonder, you know,

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 5>obviously we're way early to be discussing that with any

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, authority, But I wonder how expensive the test

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 5>will be or you know, because some things are much

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 5>more you know, expensive than others in the world of

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 5>blood testing. And the other interesting story is they're making

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 5>find out more and more about dog's ability to actually

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 5>smell that somebody has Parkinson's disease. Wow, yeah they can.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 5>That's been known for quite some time.

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Parkinson's causes changes in your skin and has a

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 4>unique sense signature linked to the disease.

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 2>And and you know, the.

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 5>Dogs, let's see what was their actual success rate up

0:16:55.840 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 5>to eighty percent sensitivity and ninety eight percent by sniff

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 5>skin swabs, but in the field it's more like eighty

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 5>percent in the early testing.

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 2>So I mean that.

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Between the blood tests and like dogs, might we be

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 4>able to nip these dread diseases in the bud in

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 4>the future.

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>That'd be amazing. What Tulsi Glack gab Well is rough.

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Tosy Gabber claims she has Armstrong and.

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Geeddy fuzz on this. Whatsoever.

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>The Russians interfered in our election during twenty sixteen cycle.

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>They did it with purpose, They did it with sophistication,

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>They did it with overwhelming technical efforts.

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 2>The Great James Comy, the hero of every story he

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>ever tells, or.

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 4>They did not a whole lot other than run a

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 4>bunch of Facebook ads, which is ultimately kind of everything

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 4>they found for the most part.

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 5>Right well, interestingly enough, over the weekend, Tulsa Gabber the

0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 5>DNI made a statement that we're about to essentially saying

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 5>Barack Obama was intimately involved in the Russian collusion hoax

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 5>and everything that flowed from it.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>In that and I'll let her.

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Speak, but that the cast of characters, those names we know,

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Comy Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, they are all

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 5>in on it. Indeed, it is criminal what they did here,

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 5>is miss Gabbard.

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 2>It's not a Democrat or Republican issue.

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 9>This is an.

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 7>Issue with such significant impact that it should concern every

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 7>American because it has to do with the fabric and

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 7>integrity of our democratic republic. There was a Moller investigation

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 7>that went on for years, cost taxpayers nearly forty million dollars.

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 2>There were two congressional impeachments.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 7>President Trump and almost every member of his family were

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 7>smeared and attacked face lawsuits, depositions, high level officials were

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 7>Investigated's foundational to it all was the fact that we

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 7>had in President Obama and his leadership team, people who

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 7>did not want to accept the will of the American

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 7>people in electing Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and therefore

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 7>cooked up this treasonous conspiracy to again try to effectively

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.160
<v Speaker 7>and they did effectively launch a year's long coup against

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:20.879
<v Speaker 7>the sitting president of the United States.

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I didn't see the interview with her. Where did where

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 4>did she come up with new information?

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 5>I just think it's continuing to dig after months of

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 5>investigation into this matter. She says, Yeah, Trump's only been

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 5>president for six months and there's been no way to

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 5>look into it.

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>A news since twenty twenty.

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm scanning her statement real quickly. The long and short

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 5>of what she says is that there is overwhelming evidence

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 5>that demonstrates how, after Trump won the twenty sixteen election

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 5>against Hillary Clinton, president Obama is national security Cabinet members

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 5>manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 5>was essentially a year's long coup against the president.

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>And she goes into a fair amount of detail.

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 4>Now, I'm pretty jaded on this sort of stuff, and

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 4>I come by it honestly. I think in that, for instance,

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.199
<v Speaker 4>the whole Russia hoax, all kinds of people, including my

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.919
<v Speaker 4>current Senator Adam Schiff, claimed all kinds of crap for

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 4>years that they just did not have and have paid

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 4>no price for not having it. Then you got James

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 4>Comer on the Republican side claiming all kinds of crap

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 4>that he apparently has not had in a couple of

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 4>different things recently.

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't have a.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Lot of faith in Tulci Gabbard. I do have a

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 4>fair amount of faith in Matt Taiebe, though he is

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 4>the leading non right wing journalist on being upset about

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 4>the Russia hoax.

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:48.479
<v Speaker 2>He hates Trump.

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 4>He's lefty if he's anything, but he hates being lied

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 4>to by the government more than anything else. And he

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 4>has believed the whole Russia thing was nonsense from the beginning.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 4>Has been writing about this for the Rolling Stone and others,

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 4>and I guess now he's a substack guy.

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>This is what he tweeted out today.

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Though Barack Obama now squarely in the Russia gate crosshairs,

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Former President Obama is now the center square of the investigation,

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 4>and documents suggested legacy, maybe even his freedom are in jeopardy, right, iibi.

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, according to the documents that are out that's

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 4>a hell of a thing to say. Here's a very

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 4>basic fact outline that is the spine of this whole thing. So,

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 4>in the months leading up to the November twenty sixteen election,

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.959
<v Speaker 4>the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia is probably not

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 4>trying to influence the elect the election by using cyber means.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 4>And in December of twenty sixteen, after the election, after

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 4>the election, talking points were prepared for d n I

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 4>James Clapper stating quote, foreign adversaries did not use cyber

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 4>attechs a cyber attacks on election infrastructure to alter the

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 4>US presidential election outcome. On December ninth, twenty sixteen, President

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Obama's White House gathered top National Security Council of principles

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 4>for a meeting that included Clapper and Brennan and Rice

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.879
<v Speaker 4>and Carry, etc. After the meeting, D and I, Clapper's

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 4>executive assistant, sent an email to intelligence community leaders tasking

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 4>them with creating a new IC assessment per the president's request.

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 4>That's a quote that details quote the tools Moscow used

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.959
<v Speaker 4>in actions it took to influence the twenty sixteen election.

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 4>It went on to say, oh, D and I will

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:41.400
<v Speaker 4>lead this effort with participation from the various agencies. There's

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 4>a problem there, and various folks have called Tulsey Gabbard

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 4>on it. I don't want to prejudge because, like Matt Taibi,

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.439
<v Speaker 4>I agree it was so dirty and deliberate and so

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 4>many people were in on it. Whether it crossed the

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 4>bounds into lawlessness, I don't know, but it's worth pursuing.

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:08.920
<v Speaker 4>But the first statement was about Russia is not trying

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 4>to influence the election by using cyber means literally hacking

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 4>into the systems. And then the second thing at Obama's

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 4>request is tools Moscow used in actions it took to

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.639
<v Speaker 4>influence the twenty sixteen election. Those are two different questions,

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 4>and so is this just sloppy is it equivocating the

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 4>two things.

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 5>I'll tell you this, I am absolutely unwilling to say.

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Look at Telsey Gabbard, those two things are different. She's

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 5>a crackpot. Never mind. I mean, because it was so

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 5>dirty and deliberate and unfair and probably illegal.

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, certainly, the faking up of the PAISA warrants over

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 4>and over again in the ways we've discussed through the years.

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 2>That was despicable.

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and uh, you know, it's the same crowd that

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.920
<v Speaker 4>went out of their way to present Hunter's laptop as

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 4>a ridiculous story when they knew it was a real story.

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 4>They run knew it was real. So it's the same

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 4>people doing the same things in the same direction. Does

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 4>it really stretch the credulity that.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Much to think Obama was in on those conversations or

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 5>even you know, ran it. And if it wasn't Obama,

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 5>that's fine. I don't have Obama obsession syndrome. Now, it

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.159
<v Speaker 5>doesn't whether it go to him at all. All the

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 5>other people, if they did it on their own, need

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 5>to pay a price.

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I would agree.

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 4>I just have always assumed with Obama mostly. I mean,

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.200
<v Speaker 4>this is not like a charitable view of him. Really,

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 4>it's just a just always have thought he's just so

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 4>into himself, and he was at the end of a

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 4>two term presidency, Like I just can't imagine him caring enough.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 4>We've got a couple of Matt taiv quote clips here,

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Sure said talking to Bill Hemmer on Fox News go

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 4>ahead with forty seven. Michael, Well, why wasn't there more

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 4>urgency on this and Trump one point zero as there

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 4>is now?

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a complaint.

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 9>I heard a lot over the weekend from people who

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 9>have been following this, and even for former officials who

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:17.639
<v Speaker 9>are close to Trump. There one of them said to me,

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 9>a former high ranking Trump officials said there was quote

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:25.919
<v Speaker 9>so much corruption in the last Trump presidency that this

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 9>shouldn't have been overlooked, that these documents should have come out. Absolutely,

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 9>But the overall sense I get is that everyone's happy

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:36.199
<v Speaker 9>that they finally are coming out, and they're looking forward

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 9>to what is likely to come out this week.

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:42.199
<v Speaker 4>Matt Taibe is a guy, as a lefty, he has

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 4>been one of the people screaming, hey, liberals, we're the

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 4>people that are supposed to be like really worried about

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the CIA and the NSA and the FBI. We're the

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 4>ones that's our lane to think that the FBI is

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 4>somebody we should be scared of, and they all cooked

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 4>something up to take down a presidency. Shouldn't we as

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:05.199
<v Speaker 4>liberals be worried about this?

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 5>A lot of what motivates him as personal disgust that, Yeah,

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 5>the lefty media started lionizing Clapper and call me and

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 5>all these people the minute they were opposing Trump. And

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 5>he's like, wait a minute, these are the spooks and

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 5>the guys who ignore the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 5>means nothing to them with their legal searches, and.

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Now they're your buddies, left the America and cooked up

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 2>the Iraq war. In his mind, right, here's another Tayebee clip.

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.919
<v Speaker 4>Is the allegation they were trying to influence our election

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 4>or or is the allegation that they actually changed votes?

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I think we need to be clear on that. What

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:43.920
<v Speaker 2>can we say? So it's both.

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 9>The Democrats are making a lot of hay over this

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 9>apples and oranges issue that there was never any question

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 9>they didn't actually change vote tallies, but they did influence

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 9>the election. Actually, there was some question about whether they

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 9>had the ability to to influence the election. There were

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 9>quotes earlier from that from that year with the FBI

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 9>saying they didn't have any evidence that they had done so,

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 9>and they were uncomfortable making that statement. There there were

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 9>also quotes saying that they lacked evidence that Russia had

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 9>the ability to out to impact the outcome of the election.

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 9>So all of this would have been passed on to

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 9>somebody like Michael Flynn because presidents elect are entitled to

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 9>receive the Presidential Daily Briefing. That's why this is important.

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 9>It's not so much what the PDB did say, it's

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.879
<v Speaker 9>what it didn't say. It didn't say that there was

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 9>a sweeping conspiracy to help Trump, and if they had that,

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 9>it would have been a very different political.

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.959
<v Speaker 5>Picture going for Okay, I got to admit my overall

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 5>sense of this is it's going to be really hard

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 5>to nail down. There are just too many slippery facts

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 5>and plausible deniability encounters and the rest of it. I

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 5>think it's well worth looking into because it was a

0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 5>disgusting chapter.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 4>From people who for a living do slippery things that

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 4>are hard to nail down in other countries. So so, yeah,

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 4>and one counterfactual or alternate history that will never be

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 4>able to witness in reality is if Trump hadn't been

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 4>beset by that whole Russian collusion hoax his whole first term,

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 4>how would that have changed his actions policies? Is just

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:31.959
<v Speaker 4>is his demeanor everything all right? And the first impeachment

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 4>probably wouldn't have happened, and then the second way. I mean,

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 4>you don't know if January six you don't know if

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 4>he'd have won. So yeah, it's hard to say how

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:41.200
<v Speaker 4>it affected things well.

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Right, And even having lost. The whole January sixth thing

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 5>was I think, to some extent Trump refusing to stand

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 5>up for the so called institutions of our society in

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 5>a way that I would have appreciated on that day

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 5>because he was so disgusted with how dishonest they had

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 5>been about him and his administration for a very long time.

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm not excusing it, but I think I understand it.

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 4>With nobody paying a price at all, exactly, you want

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 4>to be a billionaire, work ninety hours a week, among

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 4>other things to tell you coming up, stay here, The

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 4>kiss cam coldplay story continues to entertain people with new information.

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 4>The guy had to quit. They're both insanely wealthy, we'll

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 4>get into that in hour three. And what Coldplay is

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 4>saying in their concerts now all entertaining. So Elon Musk

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 4>tweeted this out on his old platform over the weekend,

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 4>which I thought was interesting. All it said was, at

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 4>times AI existential dread is overwhelming. Well, I thought that

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 4>from a guy who's building one of the top AI

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 4>machines in the world and knows more about it than

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 4>the average human.

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I find that a little scary.

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I've got a great chat GPT story in

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 5>which it has chat gpt is admitted I failed.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 4>But on a different topic from Elon Musk, he did

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 4>an interview over the weekend with uh look like it was,

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 4>which one is it? Axios Politico one of them anyway,

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 4>talked about how much he's working now SpaceX and Tesla,

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 4>and he said he's back to He had tweeted out

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 4>he's back to working seven days a week and sleeping

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 4>in his office whenever his kids are away.

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know whatever.

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Whenever his kids away means when you have fourteen kids,

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 4>different women, different places, but working seven days a week,

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 4>And his quote was from the interview was seven days

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 4>a week, sleeping in the factory. No one should put

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.479
<v Speaker 4>this many hours into work. This is not good, This

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 4>is painful. It hurts my brain, it hurts my heart.

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 4>That's an interesting thing to say. It hurts your brain

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.480
<v Speaker 4>and it's hurts your heart, and nobody should do this,

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 4>but you're doing it.

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm not exactly sure what that means, which leads me

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 4>to this a different billionaire who I'd never heard of.

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 4>How did Lucy Guo Guo? I don't speak Chinese. Would

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 4>you pronounce that goo go? I'm gonna say go.

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 4>How did Lucy go to throwing throne Taylor Swift as

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 4>the youngest self made female billionaire in the world. Act

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 4>broke stay rich, she said, is one of her keys,

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 4>but she's thirty years old. Recently dethroning Taylor Swift as

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 4>the youngest self made billionaire on the planet. She did

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 4>it with an and some sort of AI data labeling startup.

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't even understand what it was that she did,

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 4>but it's involving artificial intelligence.

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 2>See, you gotta label your data. Everybody knows that.

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 4>The quickest way to become a billionaire or have a

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.719
<v Speaker 4>stock reach four trillion dollars or whatever is be involved

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 4>in AI in the modern world, that's for certain. Anyway,

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 4>this is the stuff I thought that was very interesting.

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 4>She started this when she was twenty one. She left

0:31:57.720 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years later, but she still has enough

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 4>control in the comp that she became a billionaire at

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 4>age thirty. The coder turned founder still clocks ninety hour

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 4>work weeks with a schedule that starts at five thirty

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 4>am and ends at midnight every day. She credits her

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 4>no sleep DNA to her parents that she just doesn't

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 4>need much sleep. Her parents were Chinese immigrants who worked

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 4>as engineers in the San Francisco Bay area and instilled

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 4>under a strong work ethic, working every day from five

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 4>thirty am to midnight.

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Kill me right.

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.719
<v Speaker 4>The fast talking Trailblazer doesn't believe in wasting time. I

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 4>did like this part. She said, Well, I don't watch

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 4>TV or scroll TikTok, so that gives me many extra

0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 4>hours a day.

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you also have to worry about going crazy

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 4>by never doing anything that's recreation. But if you eliminate

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, because there's certain stuff we all.

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Should eliminate, it's just a waste of freaking time.

0:32:58.400 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, even if you feel like you need to,

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 4>there's better ways to rest than scrolling TikTok. Yeah, but

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 4>he said that gives me many extra hours in a day.

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm constantly on the go, whereas a lot of people

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 4>building relaxation time, I do not. I do fill in

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 4>my schedule some stuff like at ten pm sometimes I'll

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 4>go to dinner with friends. We're not all built to

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 4>work ninety hour weeks.

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>She cost me at ten pm, Hey you want to

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 2>grab a bike?

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, what the hell I'm going to sleep, I'm

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 5>getting bum in bed.

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 4>I only answered the phone because I thought you were

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 4>at a car wreck or something. You want to go eat.

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So two things on this that struck me.

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 4>One, I don't want to go counter to the narrative

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 4>that you know to a certain extent, if you can

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 4>dream it, you can do it.

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can be successful just like anyone else,

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 2>which is true.

0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 4>But a lot of like pro athletes or tech billionaires

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, are just built diferently than you are or

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 4>I am.

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 2>They're just built differently.

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Their minds work differently, or their bodies work differently, and

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 4>it's just good for them or bad for them or whatever.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.919
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not built to work ninety hours a week,

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 4>all day long without doing anything else. I'd go crazy.

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to do that. And you know, I'm

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:23.320
<v Speaker 4>not built to be insanely competitive about one particular tiny

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.800
<v Speaker 4>aspect of the world, like a specific sport or a

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:30.479
<v Speaker 4>music instrument or something like that. I'm just not Also, though,

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 4>the other side of it is the whole. Why do

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 4>some immigrants come to this country and think, Wow, what

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 4>an opportunity. If I work my ass off, I can

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 4>become wealthy in this country. And some people come to

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 4>this country, or some people who are born in this

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.320
<v Speaker 4>country with the idea that I'm not rich already having

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 4>done nothing, and I'm going to blame others in the

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:53.680
<v Speaker 4>government and riot in the streets to get mine.

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 2>What is that parenting school? I think a lot of

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 2>it's probably chinnet the attitude.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 4>No, the attitude's not genetics, the attitude of I'm not

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 4>rich yet, it's somebody else's fault.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's genetics. No, probably not, although I

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:15.240
<v Speaker 5>don't know. It's a complicated question. We have no time.

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, I think a lot of it's upbringing our culture.

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you have cultures for instance, communist cultures where

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 5>being a go getter didn't do you any good, Kissing

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.319
<v Speaker 5>the ass of the authorities and scamming the system did

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 5>you good.

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, becomes part of your.

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:30.439
<v Speaker 4>Well if you grow up surrounded by parents and say

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 4>this is a country where you can get wealthy, or

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 4>you grew up with parents saying this is a country

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:35.399
<v Speaker 4>where you're being screwed.

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.760
<v Speaker 2>By the rich. Those are two very different. Then sure,

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty
