Previously on this show, we talked about 15 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: how Patel and a Bungino, the head of the FBI, 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: have previously come under fire from micro supporters for saying 17 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: that Epstein really did kill himself. And this has kind 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: of been bubbling in the base for a while because 19 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: they used this as one of their main like campaign 20 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: and podcast talking points for the past four years. 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bongino was a huge. 22 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Elstein, I mean, and like Patel's like the QAnon guy, 23 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: like he's both these guys have have made their careers 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: the past four years like heavily about this topic, right, 25 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: And now they are, you know, backtracking on a whole 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: bunch of the previous you know claims or you know, 27 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: just asking questions type stuff that they did the past 28 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: few years. And like a week and a half ago, 29 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: a memo from the Department of Justice announced that it 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: was closing the investigation and claiming that there was no 31 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: client list for Jeffrey Epstein, despite Pambondi herself boasting about 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: having Epstein's client list on her desk only a few 33 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: months ago. This caused a huge freakout in the mega world. 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: There was conflicting reports that Bondi or Patel or Bungino 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: might be resigning like in protest of this memo. A 36 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: lot of like uncertainty over what was real. And then 37 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: on July twelfth, Trump had to speak his own truth 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: social okay quote, what's going on with my boys and 39 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: in some cases gals, They're all going after Attorney General 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: Pambondi's doing a fantastic job. We're on one team Mega 41 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: and I don't like what's happening. We have a perfect administration, 42 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: the talk of the world, and selfish people are trying 43 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: to hurt it all over a guy who never dies, 44 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein over and over again. 45 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama, 46 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Crooked Hillary, Komy Brennan and the losers and criminals of 47 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: the Biden administration who conned the world with the Russia 48 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: RUSSA Russia hoax, fifty one intelligence agents, and the Laptop 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: from Hell all caps. They created the Epstein files, just 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele dossier 51 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: that they used on me. And now my so called 52 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: friends and quotes are playing right into their hands. So 53 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: this was right after claiming that the Epstein files did 54 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: not exist, that these things are not actually real, and 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: then Trump's talking about how they are real but they 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: are in fact written by his enemies. Despite the most 57 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: recent investigation into Jeffrey Epstein starting in twenty nineteen, when 58 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: if you remember, Donald Trump was the president. 59 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: Well Darson the defining political question of the modern areas, 60 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: Who was president in twenty twenty, so I can see 61 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: it moving back. 62 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: There's no answer to this question, you know, we just can't. 63 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: We don't know, we will never know. There's no way 64 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: to prove it. Our records don't reach back that far. 65 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: We just simply can't say who president was. The mists 66 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: of time have shaded. 67 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: So much of modern domestic politics is about confusion over 68 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: who was president in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty when 69 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: it was Donald Trump. He ends by saying, quote, let's 70 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein. Somebody nobody 71 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: cares about. 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: That. 73 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: So funny. You could tell he's so far gone too. 74 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 2: He sounds scared because he never fully understood this stuff. 75 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: Like there's things that he understands instinctually, and there's things 76 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: that he never really got. And because he was Epstein's friend, 77 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: he never really got why this was so central. He 78 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: kind of got that it was, but he also kind 79 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: of assumed, like, well, if I tell everyone to shut 80 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: the fuck up, they will. 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be fuck up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's 82 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: how he's done things for the past like twelve years, 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: and it's more often than not worked really well for him. 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: But this has become such a load bearing aspect of 85 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: like the maga self image, Like this is like, you know, 86 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: this type of stuff is what drug QAnon essentially like 87 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: a cult. And he never fully understood why QAnon was 88 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: really a thing. He never like truly grasped it. 89 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: That's why he never really he started more recently doing 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: some QAnon signposting, but yeah, he clearly never fully got 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: why it was happening. Yeah, like it was convenient. 92 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: And now the monster that he and his you know, 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote friends have helped create all these years is 94 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: starting to nibble on his own leg. 95 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: This past weekend, influencers like Tim Poole, Benny Johnson, and 97 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk all started to kind of turn on Trump 98 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: on a play a quick video from disgraced BuzzFeed writer 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: Benny Johnson now right wing podcaster by. 100 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 5: Admitting that the Epstein files are real and have been written, 101 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: and that you've read them and you don't like their 102 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 5: contents and they were written by your enemies. It doesn't 103 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 5: make it doesn't make the most compelling case. 104 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned. Holy moly, holy moly, holy moly. 105 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: You had to hear first. There was a lot of 106 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: this stuff over the weekend, like this, this whole like 107 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: podcasting Gohert, which which so many people, you know, credit 108 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: to Trump's great success in twenty twenty four, all started 109 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: asking questions and were kind of confused. I don't know 110 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: why they would be. It's been very well documented that 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Trump was friends with Epstein for a long time, but 112 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: this time this thing finally broke containment. Yeah. And when 113 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: you have like fucking Charlie Kirk, someone who's basically like 114 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: one of the GOP's like top narrative shepherds essentially, and 115 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: when you have him like questioning the president's own story 116 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: and credibility, that's like a pretty big shake up in 117 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the mega world. 118 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 6: Yeah. 119 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not really explicable. There's no plausible deniability. 120 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. 121 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 7: I think for a long time this has been like 122 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 7: the load bearing cognitive dissonance for this entire movement. And 123 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 7: I actually do think when Elon first was just like 124 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 7: he's in the files, I think that was the first 125 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 7: moment that all these people were suddenly allowed to do this. 126 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: That was the first domino. Definitely. Yeah, he cracked the 127 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: shot on it. 128 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 7: And I think that has like torn open this rift 129 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 7: that has allowed all of these people who previously their 130 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 7: cognate business has sustained them through a decade of like, yeah, 131 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 7: of our dear rulers obviously friends with the pedophile life, 132 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 7: I'll say. 133 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: It, critical support. 134 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 7: Even let them fight, Let them fight. 135 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: So the next move that the geniuses of the Trump 136 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: administration tried to pull to to settle things down was 137 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: released the raw footage, the missing raw footage outside Jeffrey 138 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: Epstein's sale, to finally finally close the book on this 139 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself moment, and they released it, 140 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: and everyone realized, you know what, They're right, there's nothing 141 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: more to look into here closed. 142 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: We all rose up, as if with one voice to say, 143 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: this doesn't seem suspicious. 144 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: So Wired found that this quote unquote raw video was 145 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: actually edited and had it nearly three minutes removed. 146 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, but look it does not. Doesn't Jeffrey Epstein 147 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: deserve some privacy, you know, three minutes on his own. 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: It was a really personal decision for somebody to take 149 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: and I yeah, exactly. So No, after claiming that like 150 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: they've released this, this this completely, this is completely you know, 151 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: ripped straight from the hard drive. Raw footage uh, it 152 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: showed that it was edited in Adobe premiere and has 153 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: these missing missing three minutes. Pamp BONDI initially tried to 154 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: say that there's usually a minute missing from footage because 155 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: of a computer reset that happens every night at the 156 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: same time, which was that immediately proven incorrect by the 157 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: by there being way more than one minute missing. Yeah, minutes. 158 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, they're simply like I came into this as like, 159 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, you know, maybe he. 160 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Killed himself, maybe nut jelse I mean. 161 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: And now I'm I'm I am sincerely more on the 162 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: well something there's something there. 163 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: Heighth yea. 164 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 7: I will say there's one thing that I think this 165 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 7: does definitively rule out, which is that it was definitely 166 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 7: not the Clinton crime family. 167 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: We've ruled out one possible. 168 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: Now, you see, this brings me to a theory that 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: I have been working on for the last couple of days, 170 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: and I think this is this is really important to 171 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: get out to people. So obviously, the other big statement 172 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump made in the last week was that 173 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: his uncle, who used to be a professor at MIT, 174 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: had taught Ted Kazinski and talked to him about Ted 175 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: Kazinski and been like, yay, you know, there's a real 176 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: thin line between genius and insanity. And then it came 177 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: out that Donald Trump's uncle, who taught at MIT, died 178 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: in nineteen and eighty five, and of course the unibomber 179 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: was not publicly identified until nineteen ninety six. Now, some 180 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: people have interpreted this as Donald Trump lying, which I 181 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: think we can all agree doesn't seem like something he 182 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: would do. 183 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: So the only. 184 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: Other explanation is that Trump and his family knew who 185 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: the unibomber was for more than a decade and kept 186 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: it hidden from the rest of the United States. Now, 187 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: what is the unibomber and Donald Chuck Trump have in common? 188 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: Obviously two people who were treated very unfairly by the Clintons, Right, 189 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: I think we can all agree on that, you know, 190 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: so it all ties together. 191 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: Both are possibly victims of m K Ultra, that's right. Yeah. No, 192 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: his little Tuesday speech in Pittsburgh was quite bizarre. Not 193 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: just that Kasinski never went to MIT. Say, to my knowledge, no, no, no, no, 194 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: you just did not go to the university that doctor 195 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: John Trump was at. I will say this is the. 196 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 7: First one of these stories that this genuinely sounds like 197 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 7: an Alex Jones story, Like this is the kind of 198 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 7: story that Alex Jones tells about his uncles all the time. 199 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, they ain't. They ain't talking to Alex Jones right now. 200 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: No, definitely. 201 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: But it's like persona non grotra in the White House currently. 202 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: It is a truly bizarre ramble. 203 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 8: I have to take it off to brag just for 204 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 8: a second, because when I first heard about AI, you know. 205 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: It's not my thing. Although my uncle was at MIT, 206 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: one of the great. 207 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 8: Professors fifty one years whatever, he longest serving professor in 208 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 8: the history of MIT, three degrees in nuclear chemical and math. 209 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 1: It's a sportman. 210 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 8: Kazinski was one of his students. Do you know who 211 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 8: Kazinsky was? There's very little difference between a madman and 212 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 8: a genius. But Kazink said, what kind of a student 213 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 8: was he? Uncle John, doctor John Trump? He said, what 214 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 8: kind of a student? Man? 215 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: He said, seriously? Good, he said. 216 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 8: He'd correct you go around correcting everybody. But it didn't 217 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 8: work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well, 218 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 8: But it's interesting in life. 219 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: Didn't work out too well for him. 220 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: Share didn't christ to be fair, he never, He never 221 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: gives a first name. 222 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: It could have been another, it could be a different Goody. 223 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: This is true, James. 224 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, people, I'm not also God. That whole thing 225 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: just the undergrady goes around correcting everyone cases. 226 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. But back to Epstein, the thing that Trump doesn't 227 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: want us talking about. 228 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: That's right. 229 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: By Monday, some of this, like Influencer podcasting class started 230 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: to kind of close ranks. The skepticism and frustration that 231 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: they expressed over the weekend subsided and they started to 232 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: repeat the party line. Charlie Kirk said on his show, 233 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: quote plenty was said this last weekend at our event 234 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: about Epstein.

The messaging Fumble really the 243 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: biggest problem with it. The biggest problem with Jeffrey Epstein 244 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: has been the messaging fumble, not yeah, decades of horrific 245 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: sex crimes tied to the president of the United States. 246 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 7: Also, I love that he's trying to trust the plan 247 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 7: people with Like the thing that trust the plan is 248 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 7: about reviewing. 249 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: This is about yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just keep trusting it. 250 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: I do want to say that, I because I hate myself. 251 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 3: I listened to Sean Ryan's podcast interview with Gavin Newsom, 252 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 3: which yeah, I don't suggest it is four hours if 253 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: you're wondering. So never get pissed off about our episodes 254 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: going long again, please, lots of interesting stuff. Trump has 255 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 3: lost Sean ryot he is not towing the line on 256 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: this Epstein stuff. He's clearly piste about it, and like 257 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: Ryan is a sizable influence on the right. He has 258 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 3: about five million YouTube subscribers right He's one of the 259 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 3: top ten podcasts on Spotify. He's interviewed Trump on his 260 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: pot like when Trump did his podcast Defensive before the 261 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four election, Ryan was one of the places 262 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: he went. And it seems like Ryan is not on 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: the like RNC paid poster list, because he seemed like 264 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: more critical of Trump than Gavin Newsom was in that interview, 265 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: weirdly specifically about the Epstein stuff, which it was kind 266 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: of remarkable to me, and I think like we should 267 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: note that it's he has a significant influence on a 268 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: certain type of people. 269 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: Someone who certainly does appear to be on the RNC 270 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: paid list is documentary filmmaker Denesh Desuza. 271 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 9: I'm going to talk about the Epstein files, and I'm 272 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 9: going to make the case that even though there are 273 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 9: unanswered questions about Epstein, it is in fact time to 274 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 9: move on. 275 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: Very convincing. 276 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: Exactly, there's nobody with a firearm out of shot in 277 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: that video, so I'm sure it's fine. 278 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: He's closed yep seems good to me. In another move 279 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: for transparency, on Tuesday, Republicans unanimously voted to block the 280 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: release of the Epstein files. Betty Johnson interviewed Speaker of 281 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the House Mike Johnson about how they kind of want 282 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: to handle this and they're trying to make this argument 283 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: that they're that they want to be transparent, but they 284 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: have to make sure that they protect protect the victims, 285 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: and that's why they can't release the files. 286 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 7: Sure, Yeah, protect victims, Republican Party. 287 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: Compelling, compelling stuff. 288 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 289 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: Part of what makes this super weird is like Trump 290 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: just keeps giving though just the most bizarre, most like 291 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm totally not gilt comments in media and something he 292 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: said on Tuesday I found to be quite interesting, not 293 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: because of what he actually said, but because of how 294 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: he said it. See if see I see see if 295 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: you can catch this. 296 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: You specifically think. 297 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: She'd tell you about all that. 298 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: Your name up here and no, no, she's She's given 299 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: us just a very quick briefing and in terms of 300 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,239 Speaker 4: the credibility of the different things. 301 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 10: That they've seen, and I would say that you know, 302 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 10: these files were made up by Komi, they were made 303 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 10: up by Obama, they were made up by. 304 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: The Biden from you know, uh we and. 305 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 10: We went through years of that with the Russia Russia 306 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 10: Russia hoax, with all of the different things. 307 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: That we had to go through. We've gone through years 308 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: of it. But she's handled it very well and it's 309 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: going to be very convincing stuff. 310 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: You can see, Caroline levit just like just like being 311 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: it right. 312 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Like right, first time I've heard Trump like stutter like 313 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: this before, and like Trump's whole idea of reality is 314 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: if you speak it enough, that becomes true. You can 315 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: literally bend like the concept of truth, you can bend 316 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: reality using your words. And that this is why he, 317 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, talks about being a winner. This is why 318 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: he only surrounds himself with people who are winners. Like 319 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: he thinks that reality is this malleable thing that you 320 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: affect through asserting your own will. And he's done this 321 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: super successfully, especially throughout his career in politics. You know, 322 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: he's a mixed record of it in his uh business 323 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: business era, but certainly in his political uh but certainly 324 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: through his political career, he's done this fairly well. This 325 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: is why almost half the country believes that the last 326 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: election was stolen, just because he said it enough. Yeah, 327 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: this is the first time I've heard him break while 328 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: trying to speak reality into being like he literally could 329 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: not get himself to do it click cleanly, and that 330 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: is notable to me. He's made a series of truths 331 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: later that day, talking about how quote, my past supporters 332 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: have bought into this bullshit hook line and sinker very good, 333 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: and he's he's now moved to call the Jeffrey Epstein 334 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: story the Epstein hoax. 335 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 7: Jesus Christ. 336 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: He had an Oval Office press conference Wednesday morning. Quote. 337 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: I call it the Epstein hoax. They're talking about a 338 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: guy who died three four years ago. And the sad 339 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: part is is people are doing a Democrat's work. They 340 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: are stupid people. 341 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: I don't think that's the sad part about what happened 342 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: with Jeffrey Epstein. I think there are other sad things 343 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: related to his conduct. 344 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: A man is dead, you know. 345 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 7: I think the thing that is like very alarming about 346 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 7: this so that I think is very dangerous about this 347 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 7: entire situation. A lot of this on the right has 348 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 7: always been sort of motivated by anti Semitism. Yeah, well, 349 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 7: and I think we are going like we are already 350 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 7: seeing some shit. 351 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: It's funny you say that, Mia, Yeah, because another voice 352 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: has joined the call to release the files. Oh God 353 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: for Processively Street residents. Elmo made a series of I 354 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: will say, shocking statements over the weekend. Expressly good shocking. 355 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: If you've been familiar with some of the court cases 356 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: against Elmo over the last couple of years. 357 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: I know Larry David attacked Elmore a few years ago, 358 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: and he had probably seen coming as saying this for 359 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: years as a Jewish man. I think he saw through 360 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: Elmo stick and knew the anti Semitism at the heart 361 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: of Elbow that was being suppressed Nazi. But yeah, Elbow 362 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: made some shocking tweets just you know, very similar to 363 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: like what happened to Kanye a few years ago. 364 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 2: Similar figures. You know, they they both kind of come 365 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: out of the same chunks of like American hip hop culture. 366 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's not super surprising, and I think they 367 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: were both close for a long like a number of 368 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: years before either man's career blew up. 369 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: But he very anti simitic statements, also calling for the 370 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: release of the Epstein files. Yeah, Elmo has since backtracked, 371 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: hired a PR team, it seems, has scrubbed the tweets, 372 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: handling the back clash a little bit better than Kanye did. 373 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: But still it's gonna be hard to look past this 374 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: as Elmo attempts to, you know, continue Almo's career. 375 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: Especially since Elmo is now running for president with Nick 376 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 2: Fuintes as campaign manager. You know, just an I didn't 377 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: he just an inadvisable? 378 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is that is upsetting. 379 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: He's quote swears it's not a Nazi thing. Uh, but yeah, 380 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: a lot a lot of debate about that. 381 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: I will will reach out to Bernernie for comment. There's 382 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of replies to Elbow's tweet, quoting for 383 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: Elmo to resign if Elbow is a a real person 384 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: and he genuinely believes and ship, Yeah, I'm gonna quote one. 385 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: It's just too good. Resign. 386 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: You posted the most vile hate speech since the latest 387 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 3: Tucker Calsa and Polkas saying what you did about Jews 388 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: is Nazi star rhetoric and you should be out of it. 389 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: All but the veryest fire Elmo. Yeah, yeah, hashtag fire 390 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: Elma everybody, Yeah, get it, get it trending. 391 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 7: In Jenny Wine. All seriousness, though, I think it is 392 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 7: really alarming that a lot of the like on the right, 393 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 7: the way that like a lot of this resistance is 394 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 7: crystallizing the Trump over this is just the like, oh, 395 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 7: they're like, this is like Epstein was a massad agent. 396 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 7: Trump is a massage agent. Yeah right, It's all just 397 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 7: pure it's puired desemptism. 398 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: The Jews are blackmailing US politicians with you know, child porn, 399 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: and yeah, and and and. 400 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 7: I think I think there's there's two angles on this one. 401 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 7: In the very short term, it's obviously very good that 402 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 7: Trump is losing support. However, Comma, if, if, and when 403 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 7: we defeat Trump, we are going to have to pivot 404 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 7: and smash these people so fucking hard that they never 405 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 7: reappear again, because this could get really, really fucking bad 406 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 7: very quickly. And I don't I don't think, I don't know. 407 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 7: We we recovered this on the show, right, We're like 408 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 7: all this or banty Semitism has been turned into yelling 409 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 7: at like Mumdonnie for something he didn't say. And then meanwhile, 410 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 7: like the elmal account is being hacked by like just 411 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 7: literally a guy saying kill all Jews, tight out lacies. 412 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 7: And that's just like a bubbling, massive undercurrents of the 413 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 7: US now in politics that is going to have a 414 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 7: bunch of profound impacts that we fucking don't understand yet 415 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 7: and we have to deal with eventually. 416 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 417 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: No, this is the unfortunate reality is that anti Semitism 418 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 2: is turning into a block that could potentially swing an 419 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: election one way or the other. And it's not a 420 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: block that's necessarily locked into left or right. It's left 421 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: into whoever's going to play to those delusions, you know. Yeah, 422 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: And the fact that we're as deep in the weeds 423 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: as we are right now with a right wing fascist 424 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: movement does not mean that there could not be a 425 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: left wing authoritarian movement that clings to anti Semitism as 426 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 2: a way to gain power. It's happened in the world before. 427 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: It's it's not something the left is immune from. It's 428 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: not it's obviously not my the top of my threat model, 429 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: right like, this isn't I don't I would not say 430 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: this is the thing to focus on. But it's something 431 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: again that to be aware of. Is that like the 432 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: fact that this you get, I think what you need 433 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: to keep in mind when you're trying to parse out 434 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: the future, think of how weird it is that some 435 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 2: of the figures who wound up aligned with Trump are 436 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: aligned with Trump right now. How a lot of folks 437 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 2: who you would have during like the Bushy years, like 438 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: the W's years, you would have put on the left 439 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: or at least as like kind of contra to the 440 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 2: Christian right, and who have now completely like dove into 441 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: that side of things. And in some way even RFK 442 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: can shift that rapidly again, and it will one way 443 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: in some ways, right, like, there are ways in which 444 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: this is inevitable. And that's why you need to be 445 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: on the lookout about stuff like this. You have to 446 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: keep your head on a fucking swibble. 447 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: Let's go on and ad break and return to talk 448 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: about more news. 449 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: That's right, all. 450 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 3: Right, we are back, and now we're going to talk 451 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: about immigration, a topic which is always fun and only 452 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: good things happen. So to begin with today we're recording. 453 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: On the sixteenth, the Trump administration has begun renditioning people 454 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 3: to Swtinis christ a Twatini small landlocked country in Africa. 455 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: People are not familiar Africa's last absolute monarchy. This follows 456 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 3: their rendition of eight people to South Sudan. The South 457 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 3: Sudanese press is reporting that those men are in prison 458 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: in South Sudan, which contradicts Tom Homan's statement to political 459 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 3: that quote, when we sign these agreements with all these countries, 460 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 3: we make arrangements to make sure these countries are receiving 461 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 3: these people. And there's opportunities for these people. But I 462 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 3: can't tell if we remove somebody to suit done, they 463 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: could stay there a week and leave. I don't know, 464 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: Homan has said, and other atlets that he believed they 465 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 3: were just kind of free in South Dudan, that they 466 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 3: were just like released to wander around. 467 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: That does not. 468 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: Seem to be the case, Jesus. The Swortini people.

Most of these were sex crimes, 476 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 3: having children and various types of murder, homicide, manslaughter. This 477 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 3: has caused widespread concern in Eswatini, right, the idea that 478 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: the US is just sending random people who have been 479 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 3: convicted of crimes to Swortini.

The statement given by government 484 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: spokesman Fabeli Mudluli went on quote this exercise is a 485 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 3: result of months of robust high level engagements among the 486 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 3: United States government. The two governments will collaborate with the 487 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 3: International Organization for Migration to facilitate the transit of these 488 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 3: inmates to their countries of origin. So this seems to 489 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: suggest that a this has been planned for months, which 490 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 3: is not a particular surprise, right, the US government has 491 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: clearly been pushing for these like third country renditions for 492 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 3: a while, but also that like this is a potential 493 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: end run around things like the Convention against Torture withholding 494 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 3: of removal right like either people whose governments won't accept 495 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 3: them back from the US or people who have withholding 496 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: of removal because they have a reasonable fear of being 497 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 3: tortured or of harm coming to that they're sent back 498 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 3: to the countries of origin. I guess going to be 499 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 3: sent back via Swortini is what it seems like. So 500 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 3: this is pretty troubling. It seems to suggest that essentially 501 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 3: that's what the US is doing. We're not quite clear 502 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 3: how much the US has paid Swortini. Yet they paid 503 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand for one person to be sent to Rwanda. 504 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: We still don't know where that person is. We don't 505 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: know exactly how much they paid to South Sudan. They 506 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 3: have requested a number of other countries, lots of them 507 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: in West Africa, to accept people via this rendition process. 508 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: We're going to talk about it on a whole episode 509 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 3: that we have coming out next Tuesday, if you're interested 510 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: to hear more about that. Another piece of legislation that 511 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to cover just because I've seen it getting 512 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 3: a lot of attension and I think it kind of 513 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 3: bears mentioning. A bipartisan group of legislators has introduced legislation 514 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 3: to fundamentally reform the immigration system. It's called the Dignity 515 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: or Dignitad Act, and it has about as much chance 516 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 3: of success the chocolate teapot. It's co sponsored by Republican 517 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 3: Maria Salazar, She's from Florida, and Democrat Veronica Escobar from 518 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 3: El Paso, Texas. Salazar, in an interview today with News 519 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 3: Nations said, quote, there is no other president like Trump. 520 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 3: I have faith that he could be for immigration what 521 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. Just 522 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: watch him, Jesus Christ. 523 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I. 524 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 3: Guess one could make some argains about like some of 525 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 3: the abolitionists just wanting to send folks off back to Africa, right, 526 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 3: But I don't think that that's what most people understand 527 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: to be Lincoln's legacy for slavery. 528 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 7: I mean, he could definitely be like Reagan. Yeah, yeah, 529 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 7: give her that one. 530 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 531 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: The big problem with this pizza legislation, which Salazar has 532 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: tried to introduce before, right, she tried it twenty twenty 533 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: three as well, is that it relies on people coming 534 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 3: forward to a bit that they have no legal status 535 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: and being offered a quote dignity status, which is somewhat 536 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: analogous to permanent residency, but without a pathway citizenship, it 537 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: creates a permanent underclass. It relies on people trusting immigration authorities, 538 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: and that's not going to happen now. There is no 539 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: way in hell that people are going to come forward 540 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: and say, yes, I'm undocumented after what we've seen for 541 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: the last six months. Right, Like people didn't trust the 542 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 3: authorities before, but after what we've seen in the last 543 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 3: six months, it's completely implosed. 544 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: But it's ludicrous. They don't want people coming forward with 545 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: that stuff. That's the whole point of scaring them away, 546 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: is to make them basically not able to function in 547 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: this country. Yes, exactly. They don't want to give people 548 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: safe status, like make living in this country like as 549 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: impossible as possible. 550 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have undermined the trust that allows them to 551 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 3: do what is supposed to be the core of their job, 552 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 3: just to get deportation numbers up, to get detention at 553 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 3: these up. 554 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: This is just a fluffer thing. 555 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 3: It's people in the House of Representatives trying to boost 556 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: their reelection chances by saying that they tried to do 557 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: something different. Right, It's not seriously going to succeed, no way. 558 00:29:59,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Fine. 559 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: A Canadian judge has halted the deportation of a non 560 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: binary person back to the USA, citing conditions here. Quoting here, 561 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: the officer failed to consider recent evidence of the conditions 562 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 3: that may have supported a reasonable fear of persecution. So 563 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 3: to Judge Julie Blackhawk Thirst Indigenous Women appointed to a 564 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: Canadian federal court, it seems that Angel Jenkle entered Canada 565 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: as a visitor and that they're now engaged to a 566 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 3: Canadian person. I'm guessing that they overstayed there. Their visitors 567 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: slash toories that you probably can get a visa waiver 568 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: of your US it's in down to Canada, and they 569 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: probably overstayed that they requested a risk assessment before being 570 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 3: deported to the USA, and the ruling suggests that the 571 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: immigration official who conducted it had used outdated information and 572 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: regarding the safety of LGBTQIA people in the USA. So yeah, 573 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: that's where things things are at now. I'm aware of 574 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: people also trans and non binary people from the US 575 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 3: seeking asylum in Mexico lately. It was a year ago 576 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 3: that trans people were coming here to be safe, and 577 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: now people are moving in the other direction, which is 578 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: pretty damning combination of how things have gone in this country. Yeah, 579 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 3: that's all the exciting fun immigration news I have this week. 580 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: That really sucks. The fucking sucks. Yeah, I guess. One 581 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: small update tangentially related. A judge in New Hampshire blocked 582 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Trump's order on birthright citizenship while sidestepping the Supreme Court's 583 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: ruling against nationwide injunctions by adding all children born on 584 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: US soil to a certified nationwide class So it's just 585 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: now a massive class action case. This has had to 586 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: go in effect on July seventeenth. We're according this on 587 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: the sixteenth. We'll see if the government responds. And July 588 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: seventeenth is just ten days before the partial implementation date 589 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: of Trump's executive order. Yeah, so I. 590 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: Wanted to start this by noting that a fan reached 591 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: out to us on Blue Sky recently with a clip 592 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: from a quote by Omar Sharif, founder and president of 593 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 2: Inflation Insights, who wrote in a note to clients, today's 594 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 2: report showed that tariffs are beginning to bite, and yeah, 595 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 2: this is this is we finally come beautifully back from Tarif. 596 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: Don't like it to Sharif, don't like it. It's beautiful, 597 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 2: you know, it's It's like poetry. It rhymes. Anyway, here's 598 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: here's the song. 599 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 11: Jazz jazz bot, sorry jazzy jazz Bob. 600 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 3: Do. 601 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: I want to know what Inflation Insights does. It's again that. 602 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 2: They post clips of Huey Dewey and Louis inflation fetish 603 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 2: videos from the Deathtails. 604 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: Kit working class that should be a unionized position. I hope, 605 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: I hope that they're able to weather the tariffs. 606 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: But what do you think the afl CIO is about? 607 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: One of those word just flation the fl. 608 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 7: In my time, I deeply remember the first time I 609 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 7: ever talked about inflation on the show.

So we have we have new tariffs. 622 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 7: Indonesia apparently has agreed to a tariff deal with the 623 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 7: US in which the US imposes a nineteen percent tariff 624 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 7: on Indonesia and Indonesia doesn't impose one back. Perc CNN. 625 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 7: Trump posted on true social quote that Indonesia is buying 626 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 7: fifteen billion dollars in the US energy, five point four 627 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 7: billion dollars in American agricultural products, and fifty Boeing jets, 628 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 7: many of them seven to seventy sevens. Fucking rip Indonesia, 629 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 7: good luck with those planes. Oh no, So the Indonesian 630 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 7: government was complaining to the press about how much of 631 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 7: a shit show negotiating this was. We'll see if it holds. 632 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 7: We also got news that Trump as Trump has announced 633 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 7: that he's going to basically send a tariff letter to 634 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 7: like one hundred and fifty countries setting their rate simultaneously. 635 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 7: But he hasn't done it yet. 636 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. 637 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 7: It's possible. By the time this goes out, we'll have that, 638 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 7: we'll have the actual number on it. Who knows what's 639 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 7: going on with that? Is that the August third tariffs? 640 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 7: Maybe it's also unclear when they're going to come into effect. 641 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 7: Like it's all excellent, it's a catastrophe. 642 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: Who knows this? 643 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 7: This policy is just fucking Calvin Baal. They're just making 644 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 7: it up as they go right now. There has also 645 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 7: been very very funny news in our story from last 646 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 7: week about Trump's tariff demand on Brazil to try to 647 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 7: get them to release Bolsonaro, which is that this has 648 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 7: this has backfired spectacularly. He has like saved Lula's flagging 649 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 7: approval rating. It has created a massive, a massive anti 650 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 7: Bilsonaro pro Lula Brazilian nationalist backlatch of a kind that 651 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 7: I really haven't seen since, like Dilma Russeph had to 652 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 7: deal with, like the fact that the NSA was spying 653 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 7: on her phone. It's very, very funny. Bolsonaro is being 654 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 7: accused by like but by Brazilian conservatives of being and 655 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 7: I quote, a phony new nationalist. 656 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: Who is just like a dog of the US. 657 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 3: It's amazing Trump's done this incredible pink wave across the world. 658 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's studying. Kid might save Lula too. 659 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 7: The funniest part of this is that, like Bolsonaro looks 660 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 7: at this, it is like, oh fuck, my entire base 661 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 7: is turning on me because I'm so clearly like a 662 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 7: dog of the Americans. And so he turned around like denounced, 663 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 7: like the terrace. 664 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 12: Is like, it's like an American employ It's Brazil that 665 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 12: is outstanding. There is now one thing that both Lula 666 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 12: and Bolsonaro agree on other than cop should kill more people, 667 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 12: which is that East tariffs are bad. 668 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 7: He has united all of Brazil. It is absolutely hilarious. 669 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 4: You know. 670 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: I try to set up a similar deal with America's 671 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: own critically hospitalized man, Stephen Crowder, and it did not 672 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: work out the same way the way this Bolsonaro deal 673 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: went and some people say it's a little bit me 674 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: to negotiate with someone who just constantly keeps going into 675 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: the hospital for bizarre chest surgeries to make him look 676 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: more masculine. But hey, you know, podcasting is a competitive industry, 677 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: and we tried to create a similar trade deal with 678 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: with Crowder and it has not worked out. He apparently 679 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: had some similar problems with the Daily Wire, so that's 680 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: why you haven't seen much of him on the shows lately. 681 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 7: Great Incredible. I love that Garrison somehow has become the 682 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 7: person doing unilateral trade deals for the podcast great Stuff. 683 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: Great Stuff only with people who are constantly in the hospital, 684 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: either through shitting problems or chest masculinization problems. Okay, so 685 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: it's really just Stephen Crowder and Bolsonnaro. 686 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 3: I think there are probably sme of people who are 687 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 3: in the hospital for shitting problems. If we throw then 688 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 3: that that white. 689 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: Not as much as Bossonnaro is, Chaps, that's true. Bossnaro 690 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: is the most hospitalized man on the planet, well, second 691 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 1: only to Stephen Crowder. 692 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 3: Maybe they hang out there, they might get along, Maybe 693 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 3: they just some boys time. Maybe maybe they weren't get 694 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 3: Maybe they hang out in the man cave at the hospital. 695 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: Crowder has been advocating this for years. 696 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 7: Jesus Christ. Okay, okay. So the final piece of news 697 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 7: is actually what Robert started this on, which is that 698 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 7: we have gotten our first sign of actual inflation increases 699 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 7: from these tariffs. Inflation increase to two point seven percent 700 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 7: in June, which is still well below the eight percent 701 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 7: peaks in the early twenty twenties, but it is rising. 702 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 7: It's also worth knowing this increase has been asymmetric. I'm 703 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 7: gonna quote from the Financial Times here. Quote June's inflation 704 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 7: rise was fueled in part by higher food prices, but 705 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 7: offset by weaker commodity prices. Now, there's two important things here, right. One, 706 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 7: food prices like matter significantly more for how pissed off 707 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 7: everyone is than commodity prices do. And secondly, at the 708 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 7: beginning of August, Trump is trying to impose a fifty 709 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 7: percent terrifunk copper. So those commodity prices, oh boy. 710 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: Get the copper stuppers ready, folks, I started stockpiling your 711 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: wire now. 712 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 7: So the other thing that I think is really we're 713 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 7: discussing about this is the reason there hasn't been more inflation, 714 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 7: And this has been something that we've kind of proposed 715 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 7: as a mechanism on the show for what can happen, 716 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 7: at least temporarily, is that the for right now, largely 717 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 7: what's been happening is that companies, often directly under pressure 718 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 7: from Trump, have been just eating the costs. 719 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: Of the tariffs. Yeah, I mean, basically Donald's doing what 720 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: they call off gassing. And that's Donald, both as in 721 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: Duck and as in Trump. 722 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, is that one of the things that can 723 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 3: get you in hospital with Stephen Krawdin's bulsinara, You. 724 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: Know, James, that's a great guess. 725 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 7: So as I did long ago in the first time, 726 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 7: I discovered that my coworkers, if I ever talked about inflation, 727 00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 7: would only talk about Donald Duck inflation. 728 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: And Louie inflation born. 729 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: Thank you very sorry. 730 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 7: Yes, I'm my ducks are not in a row. So 731 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 7: the very important part about this, though is these tariffs. 732 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 7: The very stificant element of this is how pricing is 733 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 7: actually set. 734 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 4: Right. 735 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 7: The general way that you are taught in econ one 736 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 7: on one that prices are set is prices supply and demand. 737 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 7: And so from this you would think that the way 738 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,959 Speaker 7: pricing works is people draw a supply and demand graft 739 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 7: and then you like put it there. That's not how 740 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 7: any of the ship works. The way prices are actually 741 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 7: set are specifically by pricing agents at each point in 742 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 7: a supply chain down the supply chain. Right, So, every 743 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 7: firm involved in the production of a thing and moving 744 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 7: the thing, each one sets a price that they're selling 745 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 7: to the next person who's selling to the next person. 746 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 7: Each person adds on their cost plus markup, and that's 747 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 7: what a price is. Now, the reason prices tend not 748 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 7: to move higher and unlustor's an excuse to do it, 749 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 7: is that consumers get pissed off when prices rise, even 750 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 7: if they technically would be willing to pay higher things. 751 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: It damages your brand. 752 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 7: Right now, what we've been seeing again is that the 753 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 7: effects of the inflation have been mitigated about the fact 754 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 7: these countries are just eating shit and instead of raising 755 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 7: their prices to eat the cost that they've been doing, 756 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 7: they've been eating parts of their markup, which is like 757 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 7: basically their pure profit right. They've been eating parts of 758 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 7: their markup in order to not have the prices raise. 759 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 7: This is not sustainable. This is especially not sustainable as 760 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 7: more countries get tariffs and as Trump's ability to pressure 761 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 7: these companies weakens, as like you know, food prices continue 762 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 7: to increase and people start getting more pissed at him. 763 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 7: So this is just the beginning of this. All of 764 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 7: these tariffs are maximumly set up to make sure that 765 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 7: we get another run of this supply chain inflation. Our 766 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 7: friends over at Strange Matter wrote a very long piece 767 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 7: about this a couple of years. We've talked about the 768 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 7: show a few times. We're going to link that in 769 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 7: the description. You should go read it. But that's the 770 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 7: important thing that we've gotten from from the Bureau Labor 771 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 7: Satistics data. 772 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really sure how Trump's gonna duck this 773 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: responsibility for much longer. I will say. 774 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 7: I will say there is genuinely starting to be concerned 775 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 7: that they're just straight up fudging the BLS statistics. And like, 776 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 7: I don't know if they're doing that, but like I've 777 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 7: seen like a bunch of bond people be like are 778 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 7: they just lying about the unemployment numbers? 779 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: And who knows? Yeah, they would be very hard to 780 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: prove that, right, Like, Yeah, I mean, and I've seen 781 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: how much cash Scrooge has in that vault, so some people, 782 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: the upper class will not be affected as much as 783 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: the working class ducks. 784 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 3: It's not saying the price of diving boards, for instance, 785 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 3: could go up the very price sensitive because they need 786 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 3: those diving boats to dive into that pause of cash. 787 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: I have two more updates that I would like to 788 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: do before we go to add Rake. For one, the 789 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: Trump administration has sued the state of California over Title 790 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: nine violations for having trends athletes. This shows that even 791 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: when you capitulate, like Gavin Newsom has tried to do, 792 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: they will still come after you. You cannot get out 793 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: of this by trying to please the administration. They're still 794 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: going to go after you. 795 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 3: The entire policy platform is your Facebook uncle wanting to 796 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 3: earn the Libs. 797 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: So we can see how well Gavin throwing trans people 798 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: under the bus has worked for the state of California 799 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: still getting sued. Lastly, before we pivot to ads, I 800 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: want to update a story that Robert talked about last week. 801 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: A former US Marine Corps reservist was arrested this Tuesday 802 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: after a week long manhunt. He faces charges related to 803 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: an alleged armed ambush on an ice attention facility in 804 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 1: Prairie Land, Texas during a protest. He is now the 805 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: fourteenth person charged in connection with the incident, and is 806 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: also accused of purchasing four of the guns linked to 807 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: the attack. Now, two other people were also charged after 808 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: allegedly helping the former reservist to escape after the attack. 809 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 1: Nancy Larson, the acting US attorney, told Fox and Friends 810 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, quote they were involved in signal chats which 811 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: show connaissance planning, a Google map, and the location of 812 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: nearby police departments. At least one of these two new 813 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: people charged was only charged after cooperating with the investigation. 814 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: In this man's car, police found an air fifteen and 815 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: a receipt for clothing that he admitted to purchasing for 816 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: the former Marine reservist. 817 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean this is a story to continue 818 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 2: to pay attention to. I would remind folks that we 819 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 2: know what the state is alleged in, you know, based 820 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: on the charging documents. We know what people have been 821 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,399 Speaker 2: saying to the police, but we don't fully know what's 822 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 2: happened yet.
