First of all, lots 20 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 5: of weather. We were talking in the break. It seems 21 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 5: like at least you had a chance to enjoy the 22 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 5: warm sunshine in Florida, it looks at those scope temperatures 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 5: finally have moved out. 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, Saturday Sunday just gorgeous weather. We had 25 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 6: lots of sunshine in the seventies. What was it like 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 6: in DC? 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 5: It's cold, still very It's gonna say. 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 6: We had a ton of content and videos coming in 29 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 6: from the Northeast because we had a few isolated spots 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 6: get inundated with snow. So in Massachusetts you can see 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 6: thirteen inches stacking up over the weekend and just whiteout conditions. 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 6: Now it wasn't just the snow. Areas also had some 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 6: brutal cold temperatures. Now Watertown, New York, they had overnight 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 6: lows dropping to thirty six below. So that was a 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 6: record low to start off the day on Sunday. So 36 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 6: that was just the temperature when you factor in the 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 6: wind chill, it felt like forty seven below when you 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 6: stepped outside. Now, our weather pattern is actually changing up 39 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 6: here for the week, so the jet stream is going 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 6: to be moving in more of a zonal flow, which 41 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 6: means it's basically driving these storms from west to east 42 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 6: instead of pulling in these lows from the north. So 43 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 6: we have one more storm system that will move across 44 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 6: the Great Lakes very briefly today, but then we're going 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 6: to watch the Rockies and that low is going to 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 6: work its way across the lower forty eight. So pretty 47 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 6: calm and quiet for the day today, at least out 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 6: east we have high pressure and control. We'll be watching 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 6: that next system rolling on shore. But temperatures, this is 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 6: where you're really going to feel the difference. So, like 51 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 6: I said, South Florida in the seventies, but look at 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 6: the Twin Cities forty two degrees, that's balmy for this 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 6: time of year for them up north and areas like 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 6: Denver seventy one. So a pretty nice day, and all 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 6: of us are going to be feeling temperatures well above average, 56 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 6: not just today but also through most of the week 57 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 6: this week, So get out there and enjoy the warmer weather. 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 6: Even New York thirty seven, but with the warm temperatures. Brian, 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 6: this is. 60 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 7: Such a cool video. 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 6: I saw it earlier on today. This is yesterday. It's 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 6: a video of Lake Erie from satellite and you can 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 6: see it cracking. Look at that huge crack going right 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 6: through it. 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 5: It's incredible. Yeah, that is. 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 6: I've never seen anything like it from satellite. 67 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 7: So that's all you know. 68 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 5: From this to those frozen waves. We just can't wait 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 5: to get into this a little bit of the more 70 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 5: streetime temperatures. Summer is my month. Winter. I struggle here 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 5: during the time. 72 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 6: You know what it is, brutal to the north. I'm 73 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 6: from Minnesota, so I get it. I was, you know, 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 6: I grew up in it. But I'm thankful I don't 75 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 6: have to shovel snow anymore. 76 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we appreciate you.

I Am Brian Glynn. 188 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 5: More than five million Americans watched the football yesterday during 189 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 5: the Big Game. Turning Point USA aired the first ever 190 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 5: all American halftime show in the event that featured patriotic 191 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 5: music headlined by Kid Rock, with country artists celebrating faith, family, 192 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: and freedom. The show streamed on real America's voice across 193 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 5: conservative platforms, offering viewers on alternative to the NFL's official 194 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: halftime show supporters. The response speaks for itself, proof that 195 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 5: patriotic America has a stage again. Meanwhile, controversy at the 196 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 5: Winter Olympics in Italy, team USA athletes speaking out against America, 197 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 5: questioning the flag and the US policy on the world stage. 198 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 4: Take a listen. 199 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 8: It brings up mixed emotions. To represent the US right now, 200 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 8: I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot 201 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 8: going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and 202 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 8: I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns 203 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 8: with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. 204 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 8: Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent 205 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 8: everything that's going on in the US. 206 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 5: All Right, Well, this is chaos explodes around the games, 207 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 5: Protesters in the streets, rail lines, sabotage, explosive device reportedly found, fires, 208 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: and tear gash the world's premiere winter event brought to 209 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 5: you by Unrest sad. All Right, and this morning, the 210 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 5: Pentagon is cutting academic ties with Harvard University. Now, for years, 211 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 5: the US military has partnered with Harvard on military training, 212 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 5: fellowships and educational programs for service members, but Secretary of 213 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 5: War Pete Hecksteth says that the relationship no longer serves 214 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 5: the country, declaring quote, we trained warriors, not wokesters. The 215 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 5: move comes after the ministration clashes with elite universities over ideology, 216 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 5: free speech, and campus culture, a decision may argue reflects 217 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 5: a larger divide in America's values in national priorities. Now. 218 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 5: In the latest from Iran, the tensions are now high 219 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 5: and the situation is growing more serious by the day. 220 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: Israeli Prime Minister of Benjamin yat Yahoo is expected to 221 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 5: meet with President Donald J. Trump this week in Washington. 222 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 5: The focus Iran's nuclear program, ongoing negotiation, and what comes 223 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 5: next if diplomacy failed. Joining US now is Brandon Whitepart 224 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 5: with Geopolitical Landlist. Brandon, how close are we right now 225 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 5: to a breaking point? I seem like last week we 226 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 5: talked about it, tensions, we're building those moving those military 227 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 5: assets into that region, which seems like we have more 228 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 5: and even now where are we at. 229 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: Well, that's for sure we have now the same amount 230 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: I think I heard the same amount of C seventeen 231 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: transport planes are in the Middle East that was there 232 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: during the surge to Desert Storm, so those are logistics planes. 233 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: So what that means is we're moving a lot of equipment, 234 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: a lot of ammunition. We're probably exfiltrating a lot of 235 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: non essential personnel because we're worried about what will be 236 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: the sort of retaliation from Iran. Ultimately, I do believe 237 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: that if it were left up to Trump, Witkoff and Kushner, 238 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: we would have had a deal a year ago with Iran. 239 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: But it really isn't just up to them. It's also 240 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: the Iranians getting a vote and the Israelis getting a vote. 241 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: You noted that the Israeli Prime Minister Netan Yaho is 242 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: on his way to the White House. To me, this 243 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: feels like a wellness check because I think Benjamin Netanyahu 244 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: wanted to go in back in January fifteenth, and Trump 245 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: pulled back, and so now Neta Yaho is trying to 246 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: figure out is this guy serious about negotiation or is 247 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: he going to support what I want him to do. 248 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: It's a little insulting, frankly as an American, but this 249 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: is where we're at, and I do think that the 250 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: fundamental issue here is not just the nuclear program in 251 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: terms of negotiations. More importantly, it's the ballistic missiles. Those 252 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: are the real threats to the region. And Iran cannot 253 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: give up those ballistic missiles because they don't have an 254 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: air force. That's their only defense. And so we're asking 255 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: them to give up their missiles and they're saying yeah, 256 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: but then that's going to leave us open to Israeli 257 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: attack and they're not wrong technically speaking. So I don't 258 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: think there will be a deal. I think that Trump 259 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: is going to be pulled into another Middle East war 260 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: by Neta Yahoo. 261 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,479 Speaker 5: I'm afraid you're right in that meeting takes place on Wednesday. 262 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 5: We'll keep an eye on that at the press if 263 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: the press is allowed into that meeting. Brandon, I want 264 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 5: to stay on national security for just a second. You 265 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 5: wrote bio hacked, China's race to control life, And what 266 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 5: we've been reporting extensively on this network is the illegal 267 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 5: Chinese biolabs discovered in Las Vegas. Now, when you look 268 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: at Iran abroad in China operating inside the United States, 269 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 5: are we looking at two fronts of the same threat 270 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 5: In how concerns should Americans be right now with all 271 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 5: this going on, I mean, this bio this bioterrorism stuff. 272 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 5: To me, I'm not afraid of a hou THI okay, 273 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 5: I've never seen a bothy. I didn't see a thothy 274 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 5: this weekend. But but the thought of having a bioterrorism 275 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 5: lab and a neighborhood scares the hell out of me. Yeah. 276 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: And this to be clear, this lab in Las Vegas 277 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: is the second lab they've discovered in three years. The 278 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: first lab was discovered in Redley, California. These two labs 279 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: were actually owned by the same Chinese national who came 280 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: in from Canada several years ago. Now the national from 281 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: China is in FBI custody, but his property manager, or 282 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: I Solomon, has been arrested in Las Vegas. He's pending charges. 283 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: But I just want to make something clear to your audience. 284 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: The Chinese view biological warfare as one of the fundamental 285 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: parts of their unrestricted warfare strategy against the United States. 286 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: These two labs are the tip of the ice of 287 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: the iceberg. These two labs are not the only illegal 288 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: Chinese funded and run labs in this country. They are 289 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: probably all over at least the Western United States. The 290 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: Chinese have plans to attack Taiwan, but in order to 291 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 2: do that, they've got to distract the American military so 292 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: much by creating so much chaos both at home here 293 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: and elsewhere in the world, that we're too busy putting 294 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 2: out those fires, so it gives them time to mass 295 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: and take Taiwan at their own leisure. That is the 296 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: key thing here, the military. I brief the military. The 297 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: military thinks, oh, warworth Taiwan or war over Taiwan. 298 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 5: Erupts. 299 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 2: It's that first island chain. We'll put our navy there. 300 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: It'll be contained there. Oh yeah, yeah, I say no. 301 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: The Chinese are gonna hit us with biological weapons from 302 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: these labs. They're gonna hit us in space. They're gonna 303 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: knock out our satellites. They're gonna distract us with electromagnetic 304 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: weapons EMP weapons. They're going to do things to make 305 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 2: life here at home unbearable for the American citizen, knowing 306 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: that if the American people are too busy putting out 307 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 2: the fires that were started by China year, they won't 308 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: be able to fight over there. 309 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 5: Brandon, We'll keep an eye on all of this, and 310 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 5: maybe we'll have you on later in the week. We'll 311 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 5: see if we can get around forward to the meeting 312 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 5: on Wednesday. Thank you so much for joining us.

You know, I 335 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 10: used to be part of a trading firm in London 336 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 10: where you're in compliance and right compliance. People shudder at 337 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 10: bitcoin because it's you can't know your customer, you don't 338 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 10: know where it's coming from and where it's going. So 339 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 10: bitcoins a lot of that is that they sold us, 340 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 10: you know, sold us on the Bitcoin four are really 341 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 10: really exploited by criminals. 342 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 11: And to that matter, this isn't anything new. 343 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 10: I was working at some consulting work for an import 344 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 10: export firm here in Chicago about six years ago and 345 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 10: they got held up with ransomware, and so it's very 346 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 10: very common. I think about ninety to ninety five percent 347 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 10: of the ransoms and ransomware transactions are done via Bigcoin. 348 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 10: And it's only now just starting to move over in 349 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 10: to say like kidnappings like this Nancy Guthrie thing. 350 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 11: It used to be a lot worse. 351 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 10: There was a lot more nefarious things that are going 352 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 10: on with bitcoin, but now that's kind of slowed down 353 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 10: as well because it's. 354 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 11: Come into the mainstream and it's been you. 355 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 10: Know, they took out from behind the curtain, so it's 356 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 10: still something I think that compliance officers are very leery 357 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 10: about and are worried about, you know, because you can 358 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 10: hide so much with it, and that's why criminals love it. 359 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 10: One last thing I'll put in there, though, because you know, 360 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 10: i lived in England for sixteen years. I've got a 361 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 10: British passport. I traded and worked in the finance industry 362 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 10: over there. When you speak in terms of currencies, if 363 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 10: you're a foreigner, you speak in terms of US dollars USD. 364 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 10: This ransom note alluded to that when they said six 365 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 10: million us D. So it's interesting the little things that 366 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 10: you can pick out of something like this, because you 367 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 10: wouldn't a normal American talking about six million dollars would 368 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 10: not say USD. Some things like that may give the 369 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 10: FBI some clues, and I'm sure they've gotten out of that. 370 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 5: Good catch on that, Scott, that's a good point. All right, 371 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 5: Let's break down these Trump accounts and how they work. 372 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 5: And I was in the Oval office when he announced 373 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 5: this plan. I think it's a great strategy. I think 374 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 5: it builds generational wealth for now, individuals that might not 375 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 5: have had that opportunity. But what does it mean long 376 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: term for American kids? 377 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 10: Well, there's so many different parts of this because part 378 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 10: of it is education, you know, and I often have 379 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 10: thought about writing a book myself. I'm the cow guy 380 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 10: and you've got a lot of viewers on my show 381 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 10: and there is such a not an illiteracy that sounds bad, 382 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 10: that word, but you know what a lot of folks 383 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 10: need to learn about their money, interest rates, how about 384 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 10: compound inflation, which we're all getting killed from today. You know, 385 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 10: prices really haven't come down. So this Trump account is 386 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 10: a great way to get some kids involved with the 387 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 10: markets and parents and then if they max out that 388 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 10: can be over eighteen years, a very significant help to 389 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 10: them and getting them started in life. Now, don't you 390 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 10: think it's interesting to see how the psyche has changed, 391 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 10: Because remember when we were going to have George Bush 392 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 10: put us in charge of our Social Security accounts and 393 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 10: everybody said no, no, no, no, we can't let the 394 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 10: average American do that. Well, now I think what Trump's 395 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 10: doing is fantastic. He's getting people. 396 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 11: Started a lot earlier. 397 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 10: He's not going to hand it over to him when 398 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 10: they're thirty six or forty six or whatever, and get 399 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 10: these kids involved in the market a families involved in 400 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 10: actually topping up those Trump accounts and letting them get 401 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 10: an education in the finance and finance markets so that 402 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 10: they can actually have more power about where they end 403 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 10: up rather than just have something accidentally happen to them. 404 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: I agree. And also the good thing I think you 405 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: touched on it is family members can contribute to it, 406 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 5: so church, you know, birthday parties, you know, bring a present, 407 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 5: or you can throw a couple of dollars in his 408 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 5: Trump account. That helps the total value as he goes on. 409 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 5: And I really view this as and you brought up 410 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 5: another excellent point when Bush trying to I mean, I 411 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 5: think people, in my personal opinion, have should have more 412 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 5: say in how their money is invested. I think they 413 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: should be in control of that versus the government. But 414 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 5: you know a lot of people might disagree with that. 415 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 10: Obviously, Well, so far we've let the government be in 416 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 10: control of it, and apparently it's going to be gone 417 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 10: in three eight years, twenty thirty three or something like that, 418 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 10: so clearly you know their responsibility has been zero. And 419 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 10: if put it back in mind, I would love little 420 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 10: been in charge of my social security over the last 421 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 10: twenty five thirty years. Now, you know, social scurity is 422 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 10: only supposed to get crotch. It shouldn't be what you 423 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 10: totally rely upon. But still there's a lot of opportunity 424 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 10: for people to get that education. This is great for 425 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 10: these trump accounts. The education, I think is the most 426 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 10: important thing. And I think that will force people to 427 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 10: understand more about the markets as they. 428 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 11: Get older through school. And I would love to see 429 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 11: what schools do about it. 430 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 10: And I bet you find more investment classes because they're 431 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 10: going to know a lot of these kids were born 432 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 10: at that period of time automatically have these accounts, and 433 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 10: what they can do to make these things to top 434 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 10: them up. Employers can top them up. You know how 435 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 10: about that? It could be a carrot for an employer. 436 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 10: Come on board with us. We'll throw another couple grand 437 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 10: in your trumpet hunt every year.

I'm 464 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 12: gonna take that opportunity, But first, Brian, I figured you 465 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 12: would be don't expect to get much new information or 466 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 12: even perspective on Jeffrey Epstein's crimes during Glaine Maxwell's deposition 467 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 12: before the House Oversight Committee Later today, Maxwell's attorney say 468 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 12: that the sixty four year old plans to invoke the 469 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 12: Fifth Amendment during her testimony in order to avoid self incrimination. 470 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 12: She's currently serving a twenty year prison sentence for her 471 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 12: role in the sex trafficking ring that Epstein masterminded. California 472 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 12: Democrat Roe Conna says that he wants Maxwell to name names. 473 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 12: The congressman specifically plans to ask about four four co conspirators, 474 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 12: excuse me, in twenty five men other than Epstein, who 475 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 12: allegedly had sexually abused miners at Epstein's island. Conna has 476 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 12: also been one of the most vocal proponents of making 477 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 12: information about Epstein's deeds public. And Brian, I want to 478 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 12: get your perspective on all of this, especially since this 479 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 12: is going to be a virtual deposition and it's going 480 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 12: to happen behind closed doors. What's your expectation is this 481 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 12: going to be a nothing burger or will he actually 482 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 12: get some names named, or is she just going to 483 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 12: kind of is this just a departure from her from 484 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 12: her time behind bars, just something to occupy her time. 485 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 5: This is a two to three hour break from her 486 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 5: normal day there. I don't think you're going to hear 487 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 5: any names by In fact, I know you won't hear 488 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 5: any names on that. But as we see all this 489 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 5: information come out over the weekend and just you see 490 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 5: these documents stumped, it's more disturbing than I think the 491 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 5: American people can take. And I think there's a reason 492 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 5: why you don't have Legacy media talking about some of 493 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 5: these darkest, demonic things that we're discovering, because it's too 494 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 5: disturbing to put in front of Grandpa and grandma watching 495 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 5: the six pm news on Legacy TV. It's it's it's 496 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: it's disturbing parents. 497 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, But ultimately, I think what the American people want 498 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 12: is names. They want to know who was abusing these children, 499 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 12: who was complicit in it. 500 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 13: Uh. 501 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 12: And beyond the names, I guess, Brian, I think it's 502 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 12: important that there's also consequences, that there are charges in 503 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 12: that people are brought to justice. 504 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll be I'll be waiting around for that that. 505 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna happen either. And I hate 506 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 5: to be Debbie Downer here, but you know, unless they 507 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 5: name names, which he's not going to do, and unless 508 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 5: our DJ gets committed to chasing down these individuals and 509 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 5: locking them up, and hint, I just don't think it happens. 510 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 5: We can all hope it happens, but I just being realistic. 511 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 5: I don't know. I hope I'm wrong. 512 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 12: Hope springs eternal. Brian, Let's hope, uh get these people 513 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 12: are brought to justice. All right, Time for you to 514 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 12: put your sports anchor hat on, Brian. 515 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 5: Let's talk Super Bowl. 516 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 12: The Seattle Seahawks, of course, this year's Super Bowl champions. 517 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 5: I'm sure you watch the game. 518 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 12: The Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker the third actually headed 519 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 12: to Disney World as the game's MVP. But according to 520 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 12: President Trump, the game's halftime show featuring reggaetone artists Bad Bunny, 521 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 12: was a flop, posting on True Social forty seven, writing, 522 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 12: the Super Bowl halftime show is absolutely terrible, one. 523 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 5: Of the worst ever. 524 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 12: It makes no sense, is an affront to the greatness 525 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 12: of America and doesn't represent our standards of success, creativity, 526 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 12: or excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. 527 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 12: This quote show is just a slap in the face 528 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 12: to our country, which is setting new standards and records 529 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 12: every single day. Sunday's Game, by the way, was projected 530 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 12: to a track nearly one hundred and twenty eight million viewers, 531 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 12: with that halftime show and the commercials of course being 532 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 12: a big draw for that viewership. So, Brian, what do 533 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 12: you make of the president in comments? Did you even 534 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 12: watch the Bad Bunny Show? Or were you over at 535 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 12: the TPUSA show, which I understand dragged in about five 536 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 12: million viewers, which is pretty significant. 537 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I had all the TVs working, so I was 538 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 5: monitoring both halftime performances. And I'll say this, and I 539 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 5: know I may take some heat for saying this, but 540 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 5: I did other than not understanding anything that Bad Bunny 541 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 5: was saying, no aublas Espanol, I think overall it was entertaining. 542 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 5: There was a lot going on. I think it did 543 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 5: represent the Puerto Rican culture, the Caribbean culture, the nations 544 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 5: in that area. So I see it like that. I 545 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 5: didn't see anything he didn't come out in a dress. 546 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 5: I didn't see any type of you know, gay pride 547 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 5: flashed all over the screen. I didn't see that. Okay, 548 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 5: I saw a culture. Yes, I didn't understand it. I 549 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 5: am against the NFL going on this global stage. It's 550 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 5: America's game. It should be an English speaking English, you know, 551 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 5: lyrical performer. I get that, but I wasn't offended. I 552 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 5: was looking to be offended. I was never offended during 553 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 5: this afttime performance. Now with that said, I enjoyed the 554 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 5: Turning Point USA performance. I enjoyed all the performers they 555 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 5: had on there. I think it was it was produced slick. 556 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 5: It looked great. But I will say this, those that 557 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 5: are arguing that bad Bunny is not an American. He 558 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 5: was born in Puerto Rico. He's pretty much in a 559 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 5: Puerto Rican American. But I didn't hear them people complain 560 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 5: about this. Rihanna performed not a US citizens, Shakira performed 561 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 5: not a US citizen, Cold played, The Who, roller Stones, 562 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 5: Paul McCartney, you too. All these people performed on a 563 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 5: Super Bowl. They're not US citizens. So that argument that, well, 564 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 5: we need people that are US citizens to perform that 565 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 5: goes out the window. So I'm not defending bad Bunny, 566 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 5: and I'm not defending the NFL for putting on what 567 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 5: I think. It's a very disc connected I'm pointing out 568 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 5: the facts. I'm just saying, do I think it was 569 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 5: the best choice in the NFL? Terrence, No, I think 570 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 5: they should have someone that really connects to the core 571 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 5: audience in the consumer in the NFL. But at the 572 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 5: same time, I was at Offenders. I'm sorry I wasn't Terrence. 573 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 12: I'm with you, Brian, I tend to agree with you. 574 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 12: I couldn't tell you a thing that he said. He 575 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 12: could have been talking about my mother for all we know. 576 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 12: I have no idea, but it was an engaging performance. 577 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 12: I will say that there was a lot going on. Again, contextually, 578 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 12: I think I think I understood it, but you know, 579 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 12: in terms of what was said, have no idea. All 580 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 12: I do know is somebody got married. I'm not so 581 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 12: sure that anybody has ever gotten married live on a 582 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 12: Super Bowl halftime show, which was kind of cool. So yeah, 583 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 12: I love it. It was twenty minutes out of my 584 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 12: life that I don't feel like I've used twenty minutes 585 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 12: of my life worse at times I can. 586 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 5: Tell you that I hear you all right. Well, well, 587 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 5: I'm sure you and I can talk about this a 588 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 5: little bit later in the week as well.

Like everyone has memories 654 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 13: of listening to Three Doors Down in those songs fishing hunting. 655 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 13: You know, I grew up you know, I was a 656 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 13: naughty kid in high school. I'd skip school with my 657 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 13: girlfriend would go listen to Three Doors Down. 658 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 14: She was a huge fan. There's always playing football. 659 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 13: There was just they were a band and his music 660 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 13: was music that you just lived your life too. And 661 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 13: I think that's the greatest compliment you could get at 662 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 13: being a musician. 663 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 5: It's timeless, and of course I know he leaned into it, 664 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 5: into his faith a lot and was open about it. 665 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 5: I saw a lot of clips on that. What's your 666 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 5: thoughts on that, because a lot of musicians want to 667 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 5: stay away from talking about religion, but I think it's okay. 668 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 5: I think a lot of audience will resonate with that. 669 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 13: Well, yeah, I think I just think values, having people 670 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 13: in positions of power who promote good value, I think 671 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 13: is so important. I think that's a lot of what 672 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 13: he did as well. His values in his faith are 673 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 13: what this generation of people need to hear more of 674 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 13: because as times going on, we're getting further and further 675 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 13: away from that. And at the end of the day, 676 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 13: that's really what matters in life, you know, is that 677 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 13: connection are faith in something bigger, and I think people 678 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 13: shy away from it because they're worried of being like 679 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 13: I don't know, maybe they're worried that people are gonna 680 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 13: not think they're cool, or you know, think that they're irrelevant. 681 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 13: But it's the most relevant thing in life, and you 682 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 13: realize that as time goes on, there's nothing more important 683 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 13: about that, and that's what brings people together as well. 684 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 5: All Right, sal Costa the Wrecking Room, Thanks for joining 685 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 5: us this morning.

That's a beautiful what a 718 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 5: beautiful shot right there? All right? Uh, I'm going to 719 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 5: bring back in Terrence Bates for our final segment. And 720 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 5: today we were talking about in the break the super 721 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,479 Speaker 5: Bowl performance and granted, you know nob Espanol, that's about 722 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 5: Pokito that I can speak of. But other than that, 723 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,240 Speaker 5: I love by the way. I love the turning Point 724 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 5: halftime as well. I'm not discrediting what they did there. 725 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 5: I love the performance. I think it was great, a 726 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 5: kind of tribute to Charlie Kirk. Love it. But I 727 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 5: think we over sold how bad the Bad Bunny concert 728 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 5: might be. And I was like waiting for like the 729 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 5: trans dancers to come in, or I was waiting for 730 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 5: the gay play flags to be I didn't see it. 731 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, the reality is it's a show. It's 732 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 12: part of the super Bowl, but it's a show. It's 733 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 12: meant to be. It's meant to be an addition if 734 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 12: you will to the game, be the game, good or bad. 735 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 12: And as I've said, I have no clue what was 736 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 12: being said. I don't know the lyrics, didn't understand the 737 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 12: thing of it. But visually, I think it would be 738 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 12: difficult to argue that it wasn't a visually compelling show. 739 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 5: There was a lot going on on. It kept moving. 740 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 12: Like I said, the one thing that I thought was 741 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 12: cool was that there was a wedding between a man 742 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 12: and a woman. I hate to say, I hate to 743 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 12: have to bring that up and be that specific, but 744 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 12: there was a wedding between a man and a woman, 745 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 12: which I thought was pretty cool. I doubt, quite seriously, 746 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 12: there's ever been a wedding during the halftime. 747 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 5: Of the super Bowl, which I thought was pretty cool. 748 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 12: And to be honest, even somebody the kind of neighborhood 749 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 12: scenes reminded me of Spanish Harlem. If you've ever been 750 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 12: to Spanish Harlem, which has a pretty big population of 751 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 12: Puerto Ricans, the bodegas and that kind of thing, that's 752 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 12: what it looks like. 753 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 5: That's Spanish Harlem. 754 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 12: So you know, it was okay again the Turning Point 755 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 12: USA thing that was America, and I think that Turning 756 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 12: Point USA quite honestly. 757 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 5: Brian has a new niche. 758 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 12: They've created an environment where you can have counterprogramming to 759 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 12: the super Bowl because no one's ever happy, Like you 760 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 12: never get one hundred percent happiness with whoever the super 761 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 12: Bowl performing is. There's always a section of the society 762 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 12: it's like, oh, I don't want to see that person. 763 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 12: Oh that's not my genre of music. So there's an 764 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 12: opportunity for counter programming to do something else. So kudos 765 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 12: to TPUSA for taking up that mantle. 766 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, kudos to everyone at Turning Point. They did an 767 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 5: excellent job on production. I got nothing to say, but 768 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 5: the game was a little bit of a lackluster excitement. 769 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 5: But there you have it, all right, Terrence. I know 770 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 5: you're beyond it. In about five minutes, you're on the 771 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 5: other side of the break.
