We just were 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 7: at the Al Smith dinner there at that Hilton in 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 7: Midtown and I was in there with Harry from Real 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 7: America's Voice News two weeks ago, and three people got 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 7: stabbed on the corner near where we were. And listen, 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 7: this is the state of New York City. 55 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: Well, David's staying on New York City. New York City 56 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams suggests he may rejoin the Republican Party now. 57 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Adams was previously a Republican from nineteen ninety seven to 58 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and one. 59 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: Take a listen to what he said. 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 8: The party that's the most important for me is the 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 8: American Party. 62 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 7: I'm a part of the American Party. I love this country. 63 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 8: This is the home of the freedom, Land of the Braid. 64 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 8: My nineteen year old nephew died on the fields of Vietnam, 65 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 8: protecting with this city and this country represents, and that's 66 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 8: the party I'm going to. 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 7: Always be around. 68 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: And David it seems like he's jumping shift. This comes 69 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: as Adams is scheduling a meeting with Trump appointed Borders R. 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: Tom Hollman, are you ruling this move out or do 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: you think you could actually switch over back to the GOP. 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 7: Well, listen, it's very convenient timing considering Trump is replacing 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 7: the prosecuted Damian Williams with Jay Clayton, who's going after 74 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 7: Damian Williams, Democrat going after Adams for ten million dollars 75 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 7: in investigations donations where they might have bypassed the public 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 7: financing laws here. So how convenient for Mayor Adams. But 77 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 7: he originally became a Republican because he was fed up 78 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 7: with the Democrats Crime Bill Bill Clinton Joe Biden, the 79 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 7: crime Bill putting people in life prison terms for you know, 80 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 7: having a small around of amount of crack on them. 81 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 7: And then also other types of things like the Rockefeller 82 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 7: drug laws which were passed by Democrats and Republicans in 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 7: the New York State legislature, which were very harsh sentences 84 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 7: for you know, even first time drug possessions. So it's 85 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 7: very convenient for him now to do that. But even 86 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 7: Democrats have fed up with Mayor Adams over this. Robert 87 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 7: Holden in the Democrat in the New York City Council 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 7: came out against Adams, said you have to do something 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 7: about this crisis. But new tweets are resurfacing again from 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 7: Mayor Adams in twenty seventeen saying you're all welcome here 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 7: to New York. He caught this whole problem. 92 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 3: Well, he's been quoted multiple times leaning towards the right 93 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: rather than the left. In fact, Eric Adams defended Daniel 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 3: Penny for protecting subway passengers and blasted the mainstream media 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 3: for their portrayal of Jordan Neely. 96 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 9: Take a listen now, were on a subway where we 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 9: hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people. You have 98 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 9: someone on that subway who was responding doing what we 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 9: should have done as a city in the state of 100 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 9: having attle a mental health facility. Those passengers were afraid. 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 9: I'm hoping that the juries the jury will hear all 102 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 9: the facts. Based on all the facts that's laid out, 103 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 9: a jury of his peers would make the right decision. 104 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: Well, David Adams said that the media has portrayed this 105 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: as a young innocent child that was murdered. So does 106 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: Adams have a point on how the media has portrayed. 107 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 7: This, Yes, he does. And remember stopping frisser up under 108 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 7: Mayor Adams, I think over six thousand this year. You know, 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 7: that was a very controversial policy that Leati put into place, 110 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 7: along with broken windows, and Mayor Bloomberg probably abused it. 111 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 7: But there are some good things about Mayor Adams. But 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 7: you know, he's also the head of one hundred black 113 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 7: members of law enforcement when he was a city cop, 114 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 7: and he came out and that was accused of reverse 115 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 7: racism going after white cops who shot black assailants who 116 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 7: are you know, acquitted on all charges going after them. 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 7: And you know he's demonstrated some racist behavior, saying he's 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 7: proud of his administration being all black, and so you know, 119 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 7: he plays both sides of the fence. But I am 120 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,559 Speaker 7: glad to see that Trump wins again because the Trump 121 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 7: effect is in full effect in New York City. You know, 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 7: after all they put him through, he comes out on 123 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 7: top and he may have the final say to clean 124 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 7: up this immigration crisis, using maybe the prosecution and a 125 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 7: pardon of Mayor Adams as a wedge to get him 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 7: to clean up the city. Fifty eight thousand illegal aliens 127 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 7: have criminal records in New York City. Rachel Morn's killer 128 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 7: may have stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the 129 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 7: Pakistani government, leasing it back to the city with over 130 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 7: a thousand rooms. The city is a mess, and if 131 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 7: you look at the cover of the New York Post today, 132 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 7: there's somebody urinating on the train, There's people defecating in 133 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 7: the subway stations, there's people smoking crack on the cars. 134 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 7: The quality of life is down, and seventy one thousand 135 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 7: New Yorkers have been assaulted in the streets, where the 136 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 7: felony and misdemeanor souls and rapes are up twenty percent. 137 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 7: So it's a big mess. This is a chance for 138 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 7: Adams to actually maybe help New Yorkers. 139 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: So I got to ask David. 140 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: You know, we've we've heard the term rhino. Is it 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: possible that Adams could be a dino? Could be a 142 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: Democrat in name only and govern like republican? 143 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: Is that possible? 144 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to go down with the 145 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: sinking shit. 146 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 7: Well, remember even Juliani took the liberal line to become 147 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 7: mayor of New York City, and people accused him of, oh, 148 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 7: we're abandoning the conservative cause and all that. Listen, it's 149 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 7: New York City. There's eight and a half million people. 150 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 7: It's three to one, four to one Democrat in the 151 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 7: five boroughs over Republicans, so you know, and the New 152 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 7: York City Council there's only a handful of Republicans in there. 153 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 7: You got to play ball, right, So anything Adams does 154 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 7: to help clean up the quality of life for New Yorkers, 155 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 7: I give him high praise. And again, there's just something 156 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 7: magical about Trump changing their dynamic all over the country, 157 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 7: surpassing political parties. 158 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: You know, David, New York City was the place to 159 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: be back in the day, and then you saw the 160 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: influx of illegals coming in the sky high prices. There's 161 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: clearly a mental health crisis. You also have the drug 162 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: epidemic there in the city. I mean, is all this 163 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: just a recipe for disaster? What needs to be done? 164 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: As someone that lives there. 165 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 7: Well, so I have children who live in the city 166 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 7: in their thirties, and you know, I worry about their safety, 167 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 7: but you know, you listen, people still go out. Tourism 168 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 7: is still high in the city. It's the random, sporadic 169 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 7: crime and the mental illness that's not being taken care of. 170 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 7: You know, cops have to play social worker. Cops are retiring, 171 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 7: as we always cover on the network, at record rates, 172 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 7: going down to like twenty nine thousand officers from a 173 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 7: higher fifty four thousand under Bernie Kerrick and Rudy Giuliani. 174 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 7: So you know, there are a lot of problems in 175 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 7: New York City, but they're fixable. They're definitely fixable. You 176 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 7: got to just enforce the law. Wrikers is down to 177 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 7: only a few thousand inmates. There were like thirty three 178 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 7: thousand people there under Juliani. We have to start putting 179 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 7: people in jail again, and we have to get rid 180 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 7: of the bailer room. And like sixteen and seventeen year 181 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 7: olds are committing a lot of crime in the city 182 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 7: and their records get expunged and they can't be held 183 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 7: on bail or get these charges that they deserve. It's 184 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 7: the same thing in every blue city across America pretty much, 185 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 7: and it's definitely fixable. We just need somebody with. 186 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: The guts to do David, real quick, why do you 187 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: think that so many sixteen and seventeen year olds are 188 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: committing crimes right now city? Can you pinpoint it to 189 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: anything specific? 190 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 7: Breakdown of the moral fiber, no accountability for their actions 191 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 7: the Internet. I don't know. I could go on for 192 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 7: a long time, but definitely, I think COVID heard a 193 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 7: lot of that. These kids were rummaging through the streets 194 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 7: at two three in the morning without any being held 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 7: accountable for anything during the George Floyd riots, during the 196 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 7: COVID lockdowns, gang activity, and Trump and Juliani had community 197 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 7: policing in the neighborhood and that's another reason why Mayor 198 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 7: Adam switched to the GOP for that time too, because 199 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 7: he wanted community pleaicing. He wanted safer neighborhoods for New 200 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 7: York City, So I will give him some credit for that. 201 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned, David, that it's about a three to 202 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: one ratio of Democrats Republicans in New York City. Do 203 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: you think that'll ever change? I mean, if you're a Democrat, 204 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 3: would you say, what have you ever done for me lately? 205 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't have high hopes that it's 206 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 7: going to change. 207 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: It has a Long Island though, so why couldn't it 208 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: happen in Manhattan. 209 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 7: Well, well, Long Island has a different economic demographic and 210 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 7: a different race demographic. A Staten Island is one of 211 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 7: the five boroughs. It has a Republican majority. And like 212 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 7: we saw, Lee Zelden took Staten Island and his gubernatorial race. 213 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 7: But you're talking about eighty seven percent, eighty two percent, 214 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 7: seventy eight percent Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Bronx respectively. Here on 215 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 7: Long Island. Here in Suffolk County, you know, you've had 216 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 7: a seventy thousand vote majority brought to you by the 217 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 7: Suffolk County Republican Party for Donald Trump. It's the second highest, 218 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 7: I think since George McGovern, since they brought an eighty 219 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 7: one thousand vote majority for Richard Nixon against McGovern in 220 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 7: seventy two. So different dynamics at work. 221 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: David Dear, I always appreciate you being on the show 222 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: Make New York City great again. Thanks my friend for. 223 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 7: Being with us. Thank you guys, have a great week. 224 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 10: Of course, all right, stick with us. 225 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: We'll be back in just a moment breaking down all 226 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: things bitcoin will that be integrated into national policy. We'll 227 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: find out stick with us, and. 228 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 6: Well everybody, I want to welcome you all back to 229 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 6: Special Report. I hope you're excited for a awesome weekend 230 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 6: as we approached the holiday season, I do want to 231 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 6: cover something real quick. The Trump train. It continues to 232 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 6: roll on and President Trump has made some key appointments 233 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 6: over the last few days. Michael falkonder to be the 234 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 6: Deputy Treasury Secretary. He's a friend of mine. We work 235 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 6: together at Treasury. He was very instrumental in COVID response financially. 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 6: Paul Atkins, who's going to be the SEC chair. Billy Long, 237 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,479 Speaker 6: a literal auctioneer, is going to be our IRS Commissioner, 238 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 6: and I'm excited to see if he's going to auction 239 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 6: off parts of the IRS. And then last night making 240 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 6: big news, David Sachs joins the administration as a Bitcoin 241 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 6: and AI zar. He is the first person to do that. 242 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 6: And I want to go ahead and kind of do 243 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 6: little round robin real quick. You know you, Emily, are 244 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 6: you an an investor in bitcoin? Are you excited for 245 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 6: this kind of thing in our government or what do 246 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 6: you think? 247 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: You know, Caitlin, I think The timing is really really 248 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: perfect here because bitcoin just reached over one hundred thousand 249 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: dollars this week. That was something that market analysts were 250 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: predicting for a while. 251 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 10: I am not invested in bitcoin. I can't even. 252 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: Afford one myself. I don't really want a fraction of one. 253 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 2: But bitcoin is something that I just really can't seem 254 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 2: to get my mind around. 255 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 10: I mean, what is it, what is it backed by? 256 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 10: It just seems like air. I mean, maybe you could 257 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 10: break this down for me. 258 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 6: Well, I'm not even gonna bother trying to break this 259 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 6: down because it sounds like we've got our next guest here, 260 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 6: a good friend and a White House, a Trump Treasury lum. 261 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 6: And he's actually the head of public policy at Riot Platforms, 262 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 6: a gentleman by the name of Brian Morganstern. Brian, thanks 263 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 6: for joining us here and for helping us break it 264 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 6: all down. I know we may look young and wildly attractive, 265 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 6: but in fact we do not quite understand what the 266 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 6: kids are talking about nowadays. 267 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 11: Well, thanks for having me on. Great to see Kalin. 268 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 12: So you should invest in bitcoin because it is going 269 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 12: to the moon with President Trump. For a sort of 270 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 12: a brief explanation. It's a protocol, essentially, a software that 271 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 12: creates a decentralized monetary network where there will only ever 272 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 12: be twenty one million bitcoin, and despite that cap supply, 273 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 12: there seems to be demand going through the roof, and 274 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 12: that is a recipe for an increase in price. It 275 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 12: has been likened even by the Federal Reserve Chairman to 276 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 12: a digital gold, a precious metal in effect, that is 277 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 12: maintained on a decentralized platform by computers all around the world. 278 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 12: And it's really revolutionary because you don't need a central bank. 279 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 12: You don't even need a consumer bank or a commercial bank. 280 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 12: You can custody own bitcoin if you want to. You 281 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 12: can also have it through coinbase or River or Strike 282 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 12: or any number of apps that will help novices acquire 283 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 12: some bitcoin and learn more about it. It's really an 284 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 12: exciting piece of technology that puts the power back in 285 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 12: the hands of the people. It can prevent things like 286 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 12: d banking that has been in the news this week. 287 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 12: It can be a hedge against runaway inflation caused by 288 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 12: government spending. 289 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 11: It's really an exciting thing. 290 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 12: And at Riot Platforms, we are one of the biggest 291 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 12: publicly traded bitcoin mining companies. So we have very large 292 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 12: facilities with hundreds of thousands of computers that are helping 293 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 12: to maintain this network. 294 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 11: And the Biden. 295 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 12: Administration basically tried to put us out of business for 296 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 12: four years, and then President Trump promised that the US 297 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 12: is going to be the bitcoin superpower of the planet. 298 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 11: You don't get a much clearer. 299 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 12: Contrast than that, and so that's why you've seen this 300 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 12: bull run in the aftermath of the president's election. 301 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: Wow, Brian, I really appreciate you breaking all of that 302 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: down for us there. 303 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 10: That's really great. 304 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: Like you said, bitcoin is going to the moon this 305 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 2: week very timely for the nomination of David Sachs to 306 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: be the nation's first bitcoin zar, I want to get 307 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: your take on him. David sax He's known for his 308 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: tech ventures and now his deep tive into the crypto space, 309 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: is set to lead a new initiative aimed at integrating 310 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: bitcoin into national policy. So what does this mean for 311 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: the bitcoin industry as a whole. 312 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 12: Well, it's a great signal. David is a brilliant person. 313 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 12: He I think first invested in bitcoin back in twenty twelve, 314 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 12: so he was an early adopter. He of course is 315 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 12: a tech bro more broadly, an investor in lots of startups, 316 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 12: and he wants the technology ecosystem to thrive in the 317 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 12: United States. Some of the issues just for the bitcoin 318 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 12: industry that are really important. Mark Andresen touched upon on 319 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 12: Joe Rogan last week, which is debanking. 320 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 11: We had a. 321 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 12: Situation where banks are being pressured by regulators to stop 322 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 12: doing business with companies in our industry. It was an 323 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 12: outrageous overreach, an abuse of power. We had the administration 324 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 12: essentially try to create a registry of bitcoin mining companies 325 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 12: for the purpose of limiting our access to electricity. So 326 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 12: it wasn't just a choke point with respect to the 327 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 12: banking system, it was a choke point with really with 328 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 12: respect to our ability to even operate our businesses. So 329 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 12: he helps to represent President Trump's view that these industries 330 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 12: need to thrive in the US if we expect to 331 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 12: have economic leadership going forward. So I am very much 332 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 12: celebrating David Sachs's appointment. I would want to congratulate him, 333 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 12: and we're ready to work with him and to let 334 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 12: him know how the government's been abusing us over the 335 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 12: last four years and how we can really help foster 336 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 12: growth in this space instead of trying to handicap it, 337 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 12: holding it. 338 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 11: Underwater like a beach ball. 339 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 12: And then when Trump was elected, it's been popping back 340 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 12: up and becoming more valuable. 341 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 11: So we really want to get the public policy space. 342 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 12: Into really where it needs to be to help these 343 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 12: companies thrive as opposed to trying to hold them back. 344 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 11: I think David Sacks is going to help do that. 345 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 7: Well. 346 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 6: I appreciate next time you use such vivid imagery, we're 347 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 6: gonna need you to reenact it on camera for us. 348 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 6: We'll go ahead and ship you a beach ball. 349 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 5: Brian. 350 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 6: You know, we got about a minute left here, and 351 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 6: you came to mind this week. I know, I saw 352 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 6: you put out an op ed that kind of walk 353 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 6: through how bitcoin impacts the energy industry. And this is 354 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 6: gonna be something obviously that we look through quite a 355 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 6: bit as Trump takes office, and this because you to 356 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 6: integrate into federal policy. Would you kind of walk us 357 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 6: through with you know, we go about forty five seconds left. 358 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 6: What bitcoin means for the energy policy of our country, 359 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 6: because I think it's very important. 360 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, Well, bitcoin is what's called a flexible energy load 361 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 12: because the network is decentralized. We can use energy when 362 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 12: it's cheap and abundant. We can help monetize new energy projects, 363 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 12: help President Trump with his energy dominance agenda, because it's 364 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 12: really an all of the above approach. Wherever there is 365 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 12: excess power, we can use it, we can monetize it. 366 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 12: It's the opposite approach and the reason for the title 367 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 12: preventing the Californication of American Energy. We've had Governor Gavin 368 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 12: Newsom in California really deciding which energy sources are good 369 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 12: or bad, saying you shouldn't use natural gas, you have 370 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 12: to use electricity, while at the same time mandating electric vehicles. 371 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 12: So what he's done is artificially decrease the amount of 372 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 12: power we have and then artificially increasing the demand for power. 373 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 12: So the effect has been instability on the grid, rolling blackouts, 374 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 12: and skyrocketing power prices in California versus Texas, which has 375 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 12: been all of the above. Everybody come in here and 376 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 12: do business, generate power, use power to create jobs. 377 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 11: So that's the approach. 378 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: I'm the innovative for sure, Brian. I truly appreciate you 379 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: coming on the show to break all this down. 380 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 10: Today, I can say I learned something about bitcoin. 381 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 11: Thank you for being with us, Thanks for having me. 382 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: All right, stay with us. We'll be back right after 383 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: the break. All right, welcome back to Special Report. We 384 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: have all of the top news headlines from across America 385 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: pouring into our newsroom. 386 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 10: We want to start with this. 387 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: The jury in the trial of Daniel Penny has reached 388 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: a deadlock, being unable to reach a unanimous verdict on 389 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: the manslaughter charges. Daniel Penny is the former marine accused 390 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: of killing Jordan Neely in the subway with a chokehold. 391 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: That was in May of twenty twenty three, after Neely 392 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: was threatening and endangering the lives of people on the subway. 393 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 10: Kaitlin, what do you think is going to happen in 394 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 10: this case? 395 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: I mean, to me, I think it's crazy in the 396 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: middle of New York City, with all this surveillance that 397 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: they still haven't been able to catch them. 398 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think in regards to the Daniel 399 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 6: Penny case, it sounds like they're going to remove the 400 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 6: top manslaughter charge, which I think is really big. It's 401 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 6: a really big sign that, you know, justice may prevail. 402 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 6: I know a lot of people are a little skeptical 403 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 6: of the last few years of legal back and forth, 404 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 6: so that's great. Actually, saw the represent of Eli Crane 405 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 6: is going to go out there and push for Daniel 406 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 6: Penny to be given the Congressional Medal of Honor, which 407 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 6: I think is huge because again, this guy was literally 408 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 6: acting in the best interest of his neighbors and in 409 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 6: their safety. So as always, I think that should be rewarded, 410 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 6: not obviously, you know, Cassis Sunder Michelle, what are your 411 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 6: thoughts here on the Daniel Penny case. 412 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm honestly shocked and frustrated that there's a hung jury. 413 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: There really shouldn't be. I mean, what happened here, he 414 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: was a hero. And I don't know about you guys, 415 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: but when, especially as a woman, going onto a subway 416 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: and having someone screen things and you feel frightened, I mean, 417 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: you want someone to step in, You want a citizen 418 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: to step in and help. Something like this is going 419 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: to deter people in the future from stepping in and 420 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: protecting others. I mean, that is the point. We have 421 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: to watch out for each other. So it is frustrating, 422 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: but I truly do hope that justice provails, especially with 423 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: that charge draft with prosecutors. 424 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Michelle and I think he should have never been 425 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: tried at all. I mean ridiculous. But they were asked. 426 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: The prosecution was asking, you know, to see if he 427 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: acted recklessly, and it was pretty clear that he did 428 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 3: not act recklessly. They were using what's called a reasonable 429 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 3: person standard, and I think he was acting reasonably. 430 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 4: The problem is that. 431 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 3: Just because they've dropped this top charge, I guess they 432 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 3: move on to the second charge, which is criminally negligent homicide, 433 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 3: which carries a maximum of four years. Daniel Penny is 434 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: not out of the woods yet, and there's some people 435 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: think that he probably did act recklessly or at least 436 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 3: criminally negligently. 437 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 4: So we've got to see what happens. 438 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: Well, and you look at the mainstream media who painted 439 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: Nealye as this innocent person. No, Neely was not innocent 440 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: here if people were afraid. In fact, bystanders had even 441 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: said that. So I also partly blamed the mainstream media 442 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: for how they painted this entire picture. 443 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 4: And let's be honest. 444 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 3: If you get on a subway and someone said someone's 445 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 3: gonna die today, wat. 446 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 4: Why did you do? 447 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: Oh? My goodness, especially as a young girls self. 448 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: And you have to protect women and children and everyone 449 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 3: else that's on that subway. So it just seems to 450 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 3: me the jury would think that's how a rational person 451 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: would act. 452 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: Well, let's move on now. 453 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 3: To the latest in the manhunt for the killer of 454 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 3: the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. 455 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,120 Speaker 4: It's centering the third day now. 456 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: The information release shows that the killer entered New York 457 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 3: City by bus November twenty fourth. A surveillance camera was 458 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 3: able to catch video footage of the killer at the 459 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 3: bus terminal. Police are investigating whether the killer also left 460 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 3: New York City by bus after he murdered Brian Thompson. 461 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, And in another development, the bullets fired at Brian 462 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 6: Thompson had the words written on them, Deny and defend 463 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 6: and depose Michelle. Those are the words on a twenty 464 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 6: ten book titled Delay, Deny and Defend. Why insurance companies 465 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 6: don't pay claims and what you can do about it. 466 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 6: I mean, I've been in a wormhole on this. I 467 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 6: sat in the car with my mother in law yesterday 468 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 6: for about an hour and a half and read every 469 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 6: theory possible. I mean, do you think this was a 470 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 6: professional hitman? Is this someone who's impacted by an insurance company. 471 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 6: Is there a third outcome here that we're not even 472 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 6: thinking about. I mean, what do you think, Michelle, Well, I. 473 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: Definitely think it's someone that knew what they were doing 474 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: and most likely impacted by the insurance company. I mean, 475 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: this insurance company was extremely hated. They had a well 476 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: above average percentage for any claims that they do deny, 477 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: And given all of this evidence, I think that the 478 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: police are looking for that killer. I think we are 479 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: closer to finding him based on the DNA him or her. 480 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: But did you guys see the mug shot pictures because 481 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: they look eerily different, Kaylen, I'm not sure if you 482 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: went back and forth on this, but there are multiple 483 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: pictures and this killer was a little bit sloppy, but 484 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: it does look like two separate people. 485 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 10: Yep, there it is right there. What do you guys think? Yeah, 486 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 10: that's really interesting, Michelle. 487 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: I know David Zier brought that up earlier too, that 488 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 2: the shooter was a bit sloppy but definitely had some training, right, 489 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean used as silencer during the shooting, the gun 490 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: jammed up, and he knew exactly how to be able 491 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: to fix. 492 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 10: That in the moment. 493 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be really interesting to see 494 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: all of the details that come out of this case. 495 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: But he also went to Starbucks beforehand, so that's interesting. 496 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 6: Duncan hold on, guys, a Duncan donuts, a drinker would 497 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 6: not have committed any crime. 498 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 10: They would have been a lot cleaner about it. 499 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: And of course police are now testing. I believe it's 500 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: a water bottle as well as a gum wrapper. The 501 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: DA DNA on that is still coming back, so I 502 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: mean they were slopy in that regard, just with evidence 503 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: in DNA. 504 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: Well, I think regardless of whether he was professional or not, he. 505 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 4: Had a smile in his face. This seemed personal to him. 506 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: There was almost an element of arrogance or pride when 507 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: you see him smile. So he's been slippery, he's been 508 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: elusive three days now, you think they'd be able to 509 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: track him down. But I just think somehow this was 510 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: personal in some way, some sort of vendetta. 511 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: I truly believe it was personal as well. I'm not 512 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: sure if you've seen social media. To stick on this 513 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: just one more minute. I mean the outcry from social 514 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: media is very interesting. You are seeing people praise the 515 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: killer right now. I mean, this was a father, this 516 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: was a husband. It's quite sad to see that as well. 517 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: But moving on, we're also learning that Minnesota police were 518 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: investigating a bomb threat at Thompson's home just twelve hours 519 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: before he was executed in New York City, and investigators 520 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: are zeroing in on a gun store in Connecticut where 521 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: they believe the killer purchased the gun. Emily, your thoughts 522 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: on this, I personally don't believe he's still in New 523 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: York City. 524 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, well, we'll certainly have to see. I mean, 525 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: if you were the killer, you'd certainly flee the city. 526 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 2: You'd want to get out of there before authorities tracked 527 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: you down. But interesting about the bomb threat. I know 528 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: Thompson's wife actually came out as well, and so that 529 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: their family was facing threats. She didn't know if it 530 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: had to do with any kind of insurance claims or anything. 531 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 2: Didn't really elaborate on those details, said that she was 532 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: consoling her family at the time. So, like I said earlier, 533 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be interesting to see what 534 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: comes of this case. 535 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I want to dial it back a little 536 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 6: bit to some of Michelle said. You know, the lefts, 537 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 6: especially response to this has been to praise the killer, 538 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 6: praise a literal murderer, and I want to dial back 539 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 6: a little bit, you know, looking at the lessons that 540 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 6: we've learned through this election and through this particular incident, 541 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 6: is you know that these people, they just don't seem 542 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 6: to have any regard for the sanctity of human life. 543 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 6: They don't respect, you know, their fellow man and woman 544 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 6: in this country. And I think that's really you know, 545 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 6: as we go back and we do an autopsy on 546 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 6: everything that's happened over the last decade, that is painfully 547 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 6: obvious from that to you know, support of abortion, to 548 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 6: you know every you know, losing cultural side that the left, 549 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 6: and that these people who praise this killer have the 550 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 6: one common denominators that they just simply do not respect 551 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 6: their neighbors. And it's truly disgusting. 552 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: Well, Cayln, look at the rhetoric from this election. I mean, 553 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: we obviously do not like Joe Biden, we don't like 554 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, but we weren't calling for her to be killed. 555 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: Very different situation from what I saw about what they 556 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: said about President and Trump. And it's interesting as well, 557 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: just to double down on that other insurance company CEOs 558 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: are now taking down their staff pages so they cannot 559 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: be found online. 560 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 6: Scary stuff. 561 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, it just scary stuff. 562 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: Well, I want to switch gears to this headline. Now 563 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court hearing on upholding Tennessee's ban on 564 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: gender affirming care for minors. 565 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 10: It is looking likely that it. 566 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: Will uphold the Tennessee ban, with the justices decision not 567 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 2: being expected for several months. 568 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 10: Caylin, do you think that this ban is going to 569 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 10: be upheld? 570 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 6: You know, looking at this, I have a very different 571 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 6: perspective on this as I would have. You know, one 572 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 6: or two years ago, even ten months ago, we're expecting 573 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 6: a baby. 574 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 5: I don't know. 575 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 6: Any minute now, I'm looking down on my phone to 576 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 6: make sure we're not in labor as I'm here on camera. 577 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 6: And quite honestly, I think the thought of allowing a 578 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 6: child to mutilate themselves in this way is probably the 579 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 6: single most evil thing I've ever seen pushed by a 580 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 6: political party ever. It transcends politics. It's almost borderline demonic, 581 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 6: and I really I'm hopeful that the Supreme Court will 582 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 6: uphold any bands on this kind of thing, and maybe 583 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 6: even take things even further bow Michelle, what do you, 584 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 6: Hays think. 585 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you and Kaylen, I just had 586 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 3: a child and I think the same thing. 587 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 4: It hits me differently now than it did. 588 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: As you said several years ago, we're talking about hormones, 589 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 3: we're talking about puberty blockers, we're talking about irreversible things 590 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: that are done. These decisions need to be made at 591 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: an adult level, not at a minor level. And when 592 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: you think about how the justices are looking at this, 593 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: there's a difference between discriminating against a transgender person who 594 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: is an adult and giving some sort of hormone therapy 595 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: is what they're calling it, to a minor who doesn't 596 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: have the mental aptitude to make that sort of decision. 597 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 3: This is not even to talk about the mental aspect 598 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: of what this could do, much less the physical. 599 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the mental aptitude, That's exactly it. Because if you 600 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 1: remember back in middle school, high school, you're probably going 601 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: through puberty questioning things. Imagine an adult telling you you 602 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: feel this way because you're meant to be a boed, 603 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: you feel this way because you're. 604 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 10: Meant to be a girl, You're going to leave them. 605 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: It's truly demonic. As you said, Kaylin, so I truly 606 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: hope that is upheld as well, So make sure to 607 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: stick with us because we're going to continue to cover 608 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: more of this.

Seth, 657 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 6: thanks for coming on here with us today. 658 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 5: How you doing great to be here. 659 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: So, Seth, you know a thing or two about beer, 660 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: and one of the things that the left wing media 661 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 2: has been criticizing heg Seth about is that he allegedly 662 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: downed a few beers after a Saint Patrick's Day segment 663 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: on Fox and Friends. The Washington Posts at Hegseth's colleagues 664 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: described the incident as jarring because it was ten o'clock 665 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: in the morning, again on Saint Patrick's Day, and because 666 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: the beers. 667 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 10: Were sitting out for hours. 668 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: They were part of a display for the Fox Show 669 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: and now, Seth, I don't mean to live here, but 670 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: I'm an Irish girl. I commend him from upholding my tradition. 671 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: You know, on my people's holiday you defended Hegseth and 672 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: a post on X this week saying the mainstream media 673 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: was so island and actually covered. 674 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 10: For Hunter Biden and they live by no moral code. 675 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 10: So have these stories about Heseth gone too far? In 676 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 10: your opinion? 677 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 13: Going too far is a good way we can put 678 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 13: it on your air right now. 679 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 5: I think we all know what it is. 680 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 13: But the only potential thing Pete did there is they 681 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 13: did not name the beer. I'm not sure if it 682 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 13: was conservative as ultra right beer, that would be the 683 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 13: only potential problem I have with that story. They're trying 684 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 13: to destroy this man. Pete's a great guy, and I 685 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 13: think that, you know, again, all of a sudden, the 686 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 13: left is all of a sudden having qualms about people 687 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 13: who have alleged failings in their personal lives. But they 688 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 13: haven't exactly been the party fighting those things amongst their 689 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 13: own since their resistance, I suppose. 690 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 5: But anyway, Pete is. 691 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 13: A great guy, and I think that the attacks on 692 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 13: him need to be Trump's. 693 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 5: Got to ram this through. This is the one you 694 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 5: can't cave on. 695 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 13: I think you're going to lose a lot of conservatives 696 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 13: if in any way he shows any caving on Pete. 697 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 13: And whether he has to put him in through a 698 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 13: recess appointment. I don't think he's gonna have to. I 699 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 13: think he's actually going to go through the nomination process 700 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 13: just fine. But nonetheless, he needs to be shoved down 701 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 13: their throats. 702 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 5: Regardless. They've given us an absolute slew, meaning. 703 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 13: They the Biden administration has given us a slew of 704 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 13: bizarre freaks for cabinet members. And I think to have 705 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 13: someone as upstanding and well spoken as Pete is a 706 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 13: great honor for all of us. 707 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 5: I'll be proud to have him secretary Defense. He's going to. 708 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 13: Revive the military has lost its appeal to a lot 709 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 13: of strong young men, I'll put it that way, and 710 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 13: I think that having someone like Pete there will definitely 711 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 13: revive that. 712 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 5: And so I'm excited to see him in that position. 713 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you make a good point. You know, some 714 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 6: of the loudmouths who have been wishy washy on his nomination, 715 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 6: those like Lindsey Graham, they're not even to my best knowledge, 716 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 6: they're not a part of the committee that would volte 717 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 6: them through to the floor. So yeah, I think he'll 718 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 6: absolutely get through there. I want to Seth talk about 719 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 6: another Trump administration nominee that's that's been getting some controversy 720 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 6: for literally no reason. The President elects select Cash Btellity 721 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 6: the FBI, and he planning on investigating a long list 722 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 6: of deep state actors. Obviously, he's been very vocal about that, 723 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 6: those that have been wreaking havoc on the American people. Now, 724 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 6: many on the left are encouraging President Biden to preemptively 725 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 6: pardon a lot of these individuals. Cash has obviously promised 726 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 6: to go after folks like doctor Fauci, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff. 727 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 6: What's her reaction to this. 728 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 13: Well, the only controversy with Cash is that he knows 729 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 13: where the bodies are buried, and these people are aware 730 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 13: of that. And I think it's one of the most 731 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 13: consequential presidential nominations cabinet nominations we've ever had. And I 732 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 13: think that having him in the position, someone that understands 733 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 13: where the bodies are buried, understands what's actually taking place 734 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 13: over the last few years through the Department of Justice 735 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 13: and just the justice system in general that's taking place. 736 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 13: To conservatives, the unfair prosecution, the just complete injustice of 737 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 13: the justice system is really incredible, and I think it's 738 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 13: going to be an amazing thing to see Cash in there, 739 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 13: because I know he's not back off of these things, 740 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 13: and he's going to dig deep and he's going to 741 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 13: expose it. And I think that people are very afraid 742 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 13: of that because people know they've committed crimes, they know 743 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 13: that they've gotten warrants that they were should not have 744 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 13: had because they've lied in multiple scenarios of different cases. 745 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 5: They've done a lot of things that I think a. 746 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 13: Lot of people are gonna be appalled at because the 747 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 13: mainstream media has covered it up, but Cash has been 748 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 13: out there trying to expose it and bring light to it, 749 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 13: and I think it's gonna be It's gonna be a 750 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 13: wild few years and I'm looking forward to watching. 751 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 10: So Seth, we do want to talk about what it 752 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 10: was like launching your company, Ultra Right Beer. We understand 753 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 10: that this was an attempt. 754 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: To address the backlash to last year's bud Light ad 755 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: campaign featuring transgender Dylan mulvaney. You say that Ultra Right 756 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 2: is a one hundred percent woke free American beer, and 757 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: you've actually expanded into some other alcoholic beverages from across 758 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 2: the border. Earlier this year, you launched border Wall Tequila. 759 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 2: So tell us what it's been like standing by your 760 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 2: beliefs in your business. Do you think that you've received 761 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 2: more backlash or support for your right leaning company? 762 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 5: Definitely more support. 763 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 13: You know, you get things from people on the left, 764 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 13: and I'm not real worried about that. 765 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 5: That's not what keeps my attention. We're excited to do it. 766 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 13: Brands of big corporate companies have long supported liberals and 767 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 13: the liberal policies, and so to have a company out 768 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 13: there saying, hey, we're going to do the opposite, and 769 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 13: you know our company has donated you know, we've donated 770 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 13: you know, I think twenty five thousand dollars. So the 771 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 13: Trump campaign directly to that in its packs. We've donated 772 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 13: one hundred thousand dollars to the Trump electors being prosecuted 773 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 13: by Fannie Willis in Atlanta. We've donated to school board races. 774 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 13: We fully funded a school board race and flipped it 775 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 13: from a woke lunatic to a normal person, which is 776 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 13: what school boards should contain. And we're yeah, I'm proud 777 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 13: to be supporting those causes. And that's kind of what 778 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 13: our customer base wants and they want to see that 779 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 13: from us. 780 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 5: So we're growing and we're excited. 781 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 6: Well yeah, Seth, I hate to cut you off, but 782 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 6: we appreciate you coming on today.

I was 845 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 14: never really big that much of a Hollywood guy. I 846 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 14: love the industry in terms of banking, movies and TV 847 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 14: shows wonderful to me. Even though I'm the first. I'm 848 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 14: the first canceled culture victim. I think in Hollywood about 849 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 14: ten eleven years when my manager and agent said they 850 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 14: couldn't work anymore because I'm a conservative. 851 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 5: I'm also a Christian. 852 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 14: It's a horrible thing. It's like a double leopard secret 853 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 14: there in Hollywood, and they gave me the boot. And 854 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 14: that's why you mentioned SBO Studios. My wife and I 855 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 14: founded that years ago. We're doing our own thing and 856 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 14: for other independent producers. But I heard about it all 857 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 14: the time, rumors of all the big names out there. 858 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 14: I don't have any proof of it because Hollywood, you know, 859 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 14: Hollywood can sniff out a conservative everywhere. 860 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 7: So I wasn't pretty to. 861 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 14: A lot of that world. 862 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 5: Well, Ken's got something to it. 863 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 14: Because I'm not going to name names, but uh, and 864 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 14: I'm not gonna name names of good people that have 865 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 14: told me they've been around it. And seen it private 866 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 14: least if they want to talk to you guys about it. 867 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 5: But I you know, it's thank god. 868 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 14: I think they knew better than the kindiscry like I 869 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 14: would not take it as crazy. 870 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 7: And same as well as. 871 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 6: Well, Kevin. I know that your your you, your your 872 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 6: whole family. You've all been very big supporters of President Trump. 873 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 6: I don't think we've had a chance to catch up 874 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 6: with you since November sixth, But what was your reaction 875 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 6: to the victory? Did you ever doubt it? And and 876 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 6: kind of walk us through your emotions as we as 877 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 6: we saw the big w come across the stre screen 878 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 6: on the sixth. 879 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 5: I doubted it only a little bit. 880 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 14: I said, there's no way as much they didn't. 881 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 5: We all know that they did not win the election. 882 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 14: But there's a reason this so happened, another reason why 883 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 14: back knowing them perhaps twenty years now, I was at 884 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 14: the ven at mar Lagos recently that frager you was hosting. 885 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 14: I'm going again this day, son, I get a pop back. Uh, 886 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 14: so we're going to an event where President will. 887 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 7: Be there for the kid rock. 888 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 5: Well. 889 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 14: Uh, you know, it's been a blessing. Moved into lat Escape, California, six. 890 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 14: We live in the I've been a mar Lago probably 891 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 14: about some times over the last off for the president. 892 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 3: I guess we have a little technical difficulty with Kevin 893 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 3: right now. Maybe we'll get him back at a minute. 894 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 3: But Emily Kaylin, it's amazing that Kevin and Sam, who 895 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 3: I've known for a couple of years now, we're able 896 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 3: to create a studio like they did Sorbo studios to create, 897 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 3: you know, entertainment that inspires and uplifts. And I just 898 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 3: want to know from you guys, do you think that 899 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 3: there's an opportunity for sort of a cultural renaissance? You know, 900 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 3: you think about President Trump coming into office, you have 901 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 3: this whole kind of Americana theme of let's let's make 902 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 3: some content that's not so devoid of morality. What do 903 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 3: you guys think think there's an opportunity for that? 904 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, bo I certainly hope. 905 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 14: So. 906 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I think the key to all of that 907 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 2: is people like Kevin and his family having the confidence 908 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: to stand up for their beliefs. I mean, especially in 909 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 2: a place like Hollywood, that's really difficult to do. The 910 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 2: people around you don't want to hear your opinions, and 911 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 2: they kind of cancel you. They shown you away from 912 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 2: the jobs that you want to have. So I really 913 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,720 Speaker 2: respect them for, like I said, standing by their beliefs 914 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 2: and trying to put that kind of content out there. 915 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 11: Yeah. 916 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 6: I mean, you take a look at what the other 917 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 6: side is offering. A lot of it is devoid of 918 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 6: real value or anything constructive, so to speak. And so 919 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 6: I think, you know, there's a ton of people out there, 920 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 6: and we saw right the widely lauded podcast strategy that 921 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 6: President Trump embarked upon. I mean, they aren't messaging to 922 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 6: wide swaths of the American public, And you know, I 923 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 6: think we saw that born out. I think it's very 924 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 6: important that we get out there and we have a 925 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 6: marketplace of ideas now right, we have places and avenues 926 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 6: which to communicate with people in mass that aren't controlled 927 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 6: by corporate interests or state owned media or social media 928 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 6: like Facebook. I mean Twitter is now free x is 929 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,240 Speaker 6: now free Getter, with which we're live streaming here now rumble. 930 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 6: There are a lot of options for people to take 931 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 6: intake information. And I just want to say, you know, 932 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 6: when your political platform or with your message morality, et cetera, 933 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 6: relies solely on gas lighting the American public into thinking 934 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 6: what is happening in front of them isn't real. Is 935 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 6: what's really happening, This is what you see happen. And 936 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 6: I think they've they've genuinely jumped the shark, though. 937 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 4: Yeah. 938 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 3: And you know, I think about what something Kevin said 939 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: just a minute ago before he got cut off. He 940 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 3: talked about being a conservative and Christian being double leprosy 941 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 3: to the Hollywood left and the Hollywood elites, if you 942 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,760 Speaker 3: want to call him that, And I think that's so sad. 943 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 3: But what I'm seeing, at least what I'm noticing you guys, 944 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 3: is you got Mark Wahlberg wanting to start a studio 945 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 3: in Las Vegas that's got better content. You have Chris 946 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 3: Pratt doing the same thing and saying, I'm a Christian, 947 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: I'm a conservative, I want to create better content. 948 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 4: You have Angel Studios. 949 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 3: Out of Provo, Utah creating incredible content. Cabrini that just 950 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 3: came out Sound of Freedom, some really really great work. 951 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 3: And so what I'm seeing is maybe it's not so 952 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 3: bad to call yourself a conservative and a Christian anymore. 953 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 3: I think we've got to get to a threshold where 954 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 3: to say that and to say it proudly and courageously 955 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: is fine and to not fear career blowback. 956 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 4: For saying that. 957 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And Bo, I think that President Trump's victory last 958 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 2: month definitely gave people a lot of confidence to be 959 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 2: proud about saying that they are Conservatives, proud saying that 960 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 2: they're Christians. 961 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 10: I mean, I've seen that Bible sales have gone through 962 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 10: the roof. 963 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 2: We've had the superintendent of Oklahoma Public Schools on that 964 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 2: was an interview we did, I think just a couple 965 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and he's trying to get the Bible 966 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 2: and Christian values into public schools as well. And so 967 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 2: it may be just the entertainment industry that we're talking 968 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 2: about here, but it really trickles into every part of 969 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 2: society having that example on the big screens. 970 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 6: Yeah, And like I was saying, when it comes to 971 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 6: the message that you know, the other side that traditional 972 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 6: Hollywood and them are presenting, it's really a message of division. 973 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 6: And I think the key to that obviously is you know, 974 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 6: they win when you feel you're alone, Bo, when you 975 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,720 Speaker 6: are the only one who thinks praise you know, eats 976 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 6: believes speaks the way that you do in your community. 977 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 6: They win, and so ultimately, I think, you know, it's 978 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 6: going to take a lot of people taking very big 979 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 6: leaps of faith, you know, some that maybe, you know, 980 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 6: I don't know that we would feel comfortable doing or 981 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 6: are in a position to do, and going out there 982 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 6: and connecting, you know, fellow Americans to something that provides 983 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 6: and demonstrates real value. That's what we're doing here in 984 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 6: real America's voice. Is why we love the zen Master 985 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 6: is because he's embarked upon this journey to really connect 986 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 6: the American people and give you guys a megaphone. And 987 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 6: I think obviously the results speak for themselves. Yeah. 988 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 3: And speaking on the subject of entertainment too, is there 989 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,479 Speaker 3: anything that you guys are paying attention to right now 990 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 3: of things you actually want to see? Like I was 991 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 3: asking someone asked me the other day, is there anything 992 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 3: in the theaters you want to see right now? Actually 993 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 3: said no. Now, I've seen Wicked the play and it's 994 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 3: very good. I know it's a big, major motion picture. 995 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 3: Right now, I don't really have a huge desire to 996 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 3: see it. But in terms of entertainment in the doorhousehold, Emily, 997 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 3: in the Fenn household, what are you guys paying attention 998 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 3: to that you want to. 999 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 2: See, you know, sadly, boy, I would have to have 1000 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 2: to agree with you on that. 1001 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 10: I'm Wicked. 1002 00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 2: I remember going to Chicago to see Wicked for the 1003 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,839 Speaker 2: first time with my family and define gravity was one 1004 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 2: of the coolest songs, the coolest moments. I was thrilled 1005 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 2: about this movie coming out. But then you see the 1006 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 2: two actresses going on their press tour and it says 1007 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 2: woke as can be. I mean some of it was 1008 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 2: cringe worthy and I almost don't even want to go 1009 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 2: see the movie at this point because they just are, 1010 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 2: you know, trying to force their values on their audience. 1011 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 6: Yeah. I think you take a look at the market currently. 1012 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 6: I think there's a real space for you. Guys are 1013 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 6: gonna laugh at me, but there's a real space for 1014 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 6: like masterclass being performed by you know, conservative thought leaders. 1015 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 6: I think if you're Tom Brady, I know you listen 1016 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 6: and you watch the show religiously, or anyone who's kind 1017 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 6: of a free thinker, you're Joe Rogan's, you can make 1018 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 6: a killing actually going out there and providing a conservative 1019 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 6: or just a politically agnostic alternative to things like that. 1020 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 6: Hopefully I'm gonna go pitch this idea to zen Master 1021 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 6: once we step off the set, and maybe together we'll 1022 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 6: make a ton of cash and we'll do some good. 1023 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 6: But I think, you know, providing and demonstrating real value 1024 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 6: is what's going to differentiate the conservative movement from Kalen. 1025 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 3: Any chance we get to see maybe Aaron Rodgers or 1026 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,959 Speaker 3: Harrison buttert perhaps right. 1027 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 6: There's a lot of brave American patriots out there who 1028 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 6: are now proud enough to you know, wave the conservative flag. 1029 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 6: And I think this is a real opportunity. I love 1030 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 6: to learn how to throw a ball from Aaron Rodgers 1031 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 6: or kick a field goal at Harrison Bucker. Who knows. 1032 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 4: That's right? 1033 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 10: Interesting stuff, guys, great discussion here. 1034 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 11: Now. 1035 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: Next week we will have a guest host on Special Report, 1036 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 2: Brian glenn Is joining us in studio.
