I personally happened to 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:49.880 be thirty nine forever. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:50.880 Thank you very much. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.840 Well there you go, there you go. What have you 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.720 been doing this week? 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.160 I've been traveling, Bobby. Last weekend we were in San Antonio, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.760 fantastic Houston, saund really good and often just a great city. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:04.919 I want to thank the people of Texas that came 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.240 out to the Tiffany had this funny and feel his tour, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:14.040 especially to all the white Republicans in the rids. Say 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.359 even the Maga hat wearers woo wool because they came 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.160 in and they had a great time. They had a 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.639 damn great time. They came in bout so many fans 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.359 of me, and they had on their magazina. They were 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.880 so fantastic. They loved me on the stage, they loved 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.639 the whole show. They loved Barbara carl Ale as well 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.440 as Sipney had it. But I really believe, and I 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.080 know this is going to sound like I'm two my 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.280 own horn, and I don't even think about it when 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.160 I'm gona sage because I just want to make people laugh. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.320 I really believe that who I am and what I 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.480 am is changing, not their minds, but it is taking 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:53.480 away a cheesecloth between the trans people and how they 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.800 how they because when they get a load of me, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.119 those people coming by fans, they hug me, they take 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.360 pictures with me. They are overly friendly with me to 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.160 a point where and I tell those Trump jokes and stuff, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.200 but they are so comfortable with me and wanted to 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.000 take just a hug and it would. And it is 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.880 so overwhelming to me because I'm like, these people probably 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.599 wouldn't see me like this in a different situation, but 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.040 because they came to laugh and have a good time, 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.080 I gave them what they were looking for, and they 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.120 gave me what I was for. When I tell you, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.359 so many white Republicans bought my kids. My dick in 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.279 the face fings. Good guy, you wipe those white Republicans 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.480 me and a freaky I like it. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.599 They are sterical. Well, you're very warm, and you're so 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.919 approachable in person. I mean, the only time that they 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.360 probably have trouble with you is you broke out into 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.240 you know, the one hundred yards sprint or something, and 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.240 you were going to go against their kid. They might 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:44.919 have a problem. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.839 If I know one hundred yards. When I get to 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.200 the finish line, I'm dead. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.360 I need a crane and six guys to lift me up. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.760 I mean, you know that's the only time, you know, 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:03.520 Trump is Sue and Maine over over they trans athletes. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.880 But I agree with you. I think we are more. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.400 As I said, you're approachable. You don't make it scary. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.760 You're not an angry person. You know, you're not coming 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.080 and pushing anything down anybody's throat. You're just they love 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.680 you because you're flaming nothing. Everything else kind of falls away. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.159 Yeah, and they made me feel so welcome. So Texas 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.000 was great. I'm here out of Chicago because next Monday, 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.520 I'm having my white party here, my annual white party 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.400 and for the twenty first at the Fantasy Nightclub here 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.120 in Chicago, thirty six forty one North Halsted.

It's probably negative something. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.560 Still, I'm going to kiss the moose in Montana. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.920 Don't kiss them in the dick in the face. I'll 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:31.359 tell you that. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.880 Yeah, it ain't okay, come on, how. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:39.880 It was good? 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:40.200 It was? 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.960 It's quite It's becoming spring here, you know, like you 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.919 see all the bulbs. I kind of really I realized 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:51.080 I am super a seasonal effective disordered person. Just a 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.400 few days of seventy and it went down. It got 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.159 a little cooler for a couple of days. But I 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.240 get a little more spring of my step. I feel 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.479 like I've got a little bit more energy, you know. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.680 So I'm loving it. I loved I love are here? 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.600 Am I hearing a silent mister on the on the horizon? 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:13.960 No you ain't, I have I'm in a relationship with myself, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.760 and I love it, but I do it does make 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.760 it. It is funny. I feel like I'm kind of in 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.800 in moody, a little bit more moody, uh, in the winter. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.840 But now it's gone. Baby. You must see it in Chicago. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.720 It's going to be is it in the sixties there, 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:28.840 fifties sixties. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.680 It's quite chilly here. It's breezy here, and I may 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.560 be relocating back here, so we'll talk about that another time. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 But anyway, let's get to the get to the get 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.600 to the body, Cooper. So I am in Chicago, and 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.880 while I'm here, you know who was here. Former President 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.400 Joe Biden was here making a speech about some things. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.840 Yeah, I sawry he did. He did what I liked. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.960 People were all up in arms. He was blaming Trump. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.080 I said no to myself. You see he actually I 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.440 don't even think he said Trump's name. He said disadministration, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.080 which he was talking about Social Security. I think he 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.480 meant more musk and the GOP side. I don't think 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.560 that he was speaking necessarily about Trump. Trump says that 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.720 he's not going to touch those security but they are trying. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.160 They've they've touched it as far as this is what 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.480 I believe he was speaking about. They cut seven thousand positions, 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.800 So how are you going to get Social Security out? 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.280 You know through doze and stuff. They're cutting, they're cutting offices. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.840 You cannot get through the phone, which initially they didn't 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.240 want people coming through the phone. And then Trump, you know, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.600 he's the king of walk it back. He then heard 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.280 that forty percent of applications are started on the phone. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.400 You know, that's how the elderly do it. They're not 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.440 going to be able to go into a computer or 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.760 or going into an office, so they really they'd like 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.600 you to go into the office so to validate. But 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.679 they're cutting the offices as well, so like where do 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.800 you go. You can't get a hold of anybody, You can't. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.520 It's not I think that's what Joe was talking about 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.760 Inza the Bayham that's being caused. You know, he's the 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.920 king of distractions, and you know, just look at all 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.559 this craps. It's just ridiculous. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.560 You call him, you called him a king of walkbacks. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.800 I don't know, and it is. But here's the problem. 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.400 He only walks it back because like you just said, 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.080 he's so uninformed, and it has to be. Are you 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.720 just uninformed or is everybody around you uninformed? Because somebody 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.720 has to be like, dude, this is what I think. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.280 And I think he just does not listen to anyone 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.679 because he wants to have all of this. You know, 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.640 he wants to be the one to make the rules 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.480 and then the rules aren't right, but then he wants 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.760 to wait to follow somebody else with the mistakes that 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.280 he makes, and he makes tons of mistakes he does. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.280 And I will tell you I have heard from multiple 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.040 the people, you know, the people who were getting let 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.119 go and fired the first the first term in administration. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.440 The one saying that I will say was good for 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:07.720 President Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden is they all spend time. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.320 You know, when they called him sleepy Joe, but because 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.320 he was spending so much time in the evenings, they 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.720 all prepped. I heard it was a while ago. I 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.319 heard President Obama in an interview saying he preps for 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.199 two to four hours every night. So he used to 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.480 go to bed fairly late, because you know, he had 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.640 they give you like this big book is a name 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.839 for it at like the beast is the car, Like 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.880 there's some sort of name for the prep book. Trump 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.520 wouldn't prep. He wanted to do everything when it's fresh 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.040 and on the fly, like it was a reality show. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.480 So I think part of it is. But the first time, 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.199 at least he had people around him that were very 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.199 well informed, belonged in the job, you know, they were experienced. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:52.360 This time he doesn't, So his lost administration would check 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.920 him whether he liked it or not. I don't you know, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.360 that's not the issue this one. They're not. They're nobody's 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.200 checking him. As you said, he wants to be the 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.360 one who does who wants to make the decisions, but 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.439 he doesn't have all the information to do a good 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:06.760 job at making the decisions. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.400 I believe that. I believe that Trump can read. I 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:15.439 believe his comprehension may be shaky. That's why he had 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.480 and his and his attention SPAN's damn sure exactly. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.280 That was what I was going to say. I actually 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:21.600 think he's probably very bright. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.199 No, no, no, I'm not going to agree with you on that. Yeah, 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.559 his teachers, even his mother made a statement about it 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:28.040 that he was. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.800 But I think it's got He's got like a horrible 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.320 case of a d D. He doesn't he can't sit 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.600 down and do the work, which makes you allows the student, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.280 by the way, but it doesn't mean you actually don't, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.520 you know, intellectually have anything. I think he's he's because 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.240 he certainly can manipulate to get where he is, so 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.280 that takes a certain level of intellect. But I don't 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.840 think he has the tools in his toolbox to sit 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.440 down and prep. It's a lot of work. I mean, 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.080 you know, you got to Marcus Stickers and you know 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.280 what's most important, and then after you read it all 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.560 on prep, you have to decide what's the most important 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.480 to tackle for the next day because you're not going 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.000 to get to that. I mean, the book is like 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.320 this every single night. You know, I don't think he 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:12.719 has that. 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.520 You know, it's I think he is a b M. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.440 You know what that stands for, big Mac. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.679 I sat a big ass. I'm like, big what. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:26.280 Guy? 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.560 Yeah, I don't, but I don't think he I think, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.400 and I think it's unfortunate because he comes out and 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.120 makes mistakes, even like with the tariffs, which we'll talk 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:39.719 about in a second. He he comes out and and 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.679 he's got they say he's got some sort of plan, 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.199 and maybe he does somewhere in the back of his head. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.880 But he's not letting anybody know. He's not transparent about it. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.640 I think his team is good at a spin that 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.800 they're creating a plan. They're making it seem like, oh, well, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.360 we're trying to get them back to the table. I 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.200 don't think that's necessarily what he was initially trying to do. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.320 I think that's what he's doing now, and if he 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.880 can get some of the stuff done, I think it's great. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.400 But I think the problem is you alienated everybody in 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.480 the meantime, and there was a different way to do it. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.600 I mean, terms were placed. We've had terffs throughout history placed. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.840 But you and I we don't hear it because the 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.600 president's signed out threatening people, you know, calling people names, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.640 going after our creating trade wars, going after our trading partners. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.680 You know, they don't do that. They just on the 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.240 side say, okay, China, you're gonna have to belly up 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.800 to the beast. You know. They just handle it differently. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.880 But he likes everything out in loud and proud. That's 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.640 just the way he's always handled stuff. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.720 So speaking of speaking of China, we oh decide it's 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.960 so bright in my eyes, I with these terrorfs. Bobby Clifford, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.480 you know one of my fans that I sailed from 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.000 China and to order a thousand there was already the 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.440 shipping was already twelve hundred dollars. With these new terrors 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:03.360 going through rufus keys behaving the hiccups our research, it's 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.679 going to cost me like forty six hundred dollars to 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.480 order ship shipping fans. So I'm telling you all right now, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.559 y'all better get them from what they hot, because when 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.360 I'm out, they might be collected. Because I mean, I'm 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.520 not going to charge people fifty bucks for a damn fan. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.840 That is just it's not It's not worth it, especially 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.400 when we have I think that's good of you, because 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.680 especially when we have eggs that are in some areas, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.080 you know, still six bucks for a dozen. You need 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.920 people to buy their food and take care of their family, 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.600 not some people do things impulsively and don't spend the 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.160 grocery money on a fifty dollar fan. Doesn't make any sense, 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.640 even though I do still have mine right here. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.280 Oh, you get one of the you get one of 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.120 the original one. Bobby, I do. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.520 I loved it. I can't, but I don't have that one. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.160 I didn't see a year ago when I sold them 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.440 for you, you didn't have them. You had a want 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.640 to kiss my dick, that's what people wanted. Nobody even 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.720 asked for this one, but I. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.560 Only the Republicans. Those Republicans something else. 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:06.320 Maybe did you see that the Federal chair uh Cowell 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.560 came out today, he's you know, Trump's guy, and he said, 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.760 you know, going back to the tariffs, is this is 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.880 going to be a problem. There's you know, it's definitely 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.200 going to raise the interest rates, not just short term, 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.280 probably overall, and it's gonna you know, unemployment is going 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.320 to start. You know again five weeks people, I'm still unemployed. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:30.080 Nobody's sending me any jobs. So yeah, I mean, you know, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.480 can let me. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.120 Just put a disclaimer ound somebody please hire my girlfriend, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.960 Boby Cliffe. She's a fantastic researcher. Researcher, she is so personable. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.080 She will ask you ten million questions. Understand that that 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.760 comes with Bobby Clifford. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:44.360 Uh. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.640 And she's a wor reward. But she has a beautiful 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.760 heart and a great spirit. I sell us so much 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.680 on the road talking about us. You and I are 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.400 dynamic and and people really get into. So I think 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.480 we're going to get new fans just because I explained 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.760 to them that we did very different look people, we 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.840 may have different religions, but we always remember that we're Americans. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.080 We have so much more in common than we have difference. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.960 So I asked people to come in and listen. I 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.000 think they really tune into that you touched on something. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.800 I want to get away from it before we go 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.240 further deep into the conversation. Talking about Maine, I really 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.440 respected that governor of Maine for standing her ground against Trump, 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.800 and now they're trying to take all this money away 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.520 from her. This is the part that I think Kamala 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:31.760 Harris was talking about unhinged, unchallenged power. Because I don't 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.200 agree with you, I'm going to stop the finances coming 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.400 to your state that people need. Now, you know, I 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.400 feel some kind of way about the trans people in sports. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.480 I think they should create a lane, but I don't 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.920 think that you stop the money for all sports in 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.479 that stake just because me and you have a disagreement 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.640 on what I think and what you think. But that 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.320 is what he is doing because they gave him that 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:54.400 unhinged power. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.720 He's trying to do that. He's trying to do that 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:04.480 with everything right. You know, he's in a battle with 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:11.359 with Harvard University, Brown Columbia. He's taking there, he's taking 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.160 their money, their money back. I think it was I've 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.000 got to hear somewhere two point two million he's taking 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.600 from Harvard. But you know what I love So Columbia 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.040 started to buckle a little under the way. But this 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.960 is research money flame, you know, like you don't just 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.800 take take money of away because they're not getting rid 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:33.840 of the DEI programs. Harvard's like, all right, we're not buckling, 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.399 we're not getting rid of it. This is how this 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.680 is the way. We're a private institution. The government shouldn't 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.920 tell us how, you know, to who to teach, who 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:49.440 to hire, what to do. And it's unfortunate because Harvard 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:55.800 University has a teacher that are a researcher that is 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.840 very close to getting big information on als, completing it, 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.000 you know, to figure out how we got there. And 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.919 he just got a letter it was either today today 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.520 or yesterday let him know that his research funding is ending. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.840 And so that's the end of his his als. So 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.960 the good thing is they've got billions of dollars in 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.160 grant money. Already pay for it with the grant money, 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.000 you know, pay for it with the endowments that you're getting. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.600 So I'm hoping that that's the route that they're Yeah, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.440 he pulled two point two billion in funding, and he's 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.520 also threatening to cut there. And I have to tell 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.680 you this part though, flame, so I'm going to tell 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:41.040 you it. I'm not so not the reason is doing it. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.320 I don't know why he's going to cut their tax 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.280 exempt status. I don't know why, and I'm sure somebody 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.600 from Harvard would snap my head off and correct me. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:57.679 Why a private institution is tax exempt. One of these churches, 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:02.160 the megachurches that are making money over fest, they're not 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.639 not for profit. They're in theory not for profit. But 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.399 when I'm watching these pastors drive around and rolls voices, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.680 I'm exaggerating, But how is that exempt? 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:19.480 You're they're living in multimbriion dollar homes and then and 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.880 they're fleeing their flock, and they are fleecing their. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.399 Flock, and I don't understand it. So to me, you 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.640 should get a you should get a salary. Let them 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:30.800 give them two hundred thousand dollars even they're supposed to 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.520 live almost in poverty because if they have to take 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.199 care of the family and they want okay, but you 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.960 live off of whatever that salary is that they find 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.400 you don't live on the as the tilla comes in. 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.159 That's supposed to be. I thought with churches, and this 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.240 is why they were tax exempt. I thought that was 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:49.080 supposed to go back into the congregation, single women who 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.560 don't have money, children who have food and security. I 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.400 thought those money is instead of driving the rolls races, 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.520 was supposed to go there. And so the same with 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.480 the school. I know the schools are they're putting it 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.320 into their research, really and they're putting it into bringing 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.320 people from all over the world into the school to 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.720 make diversity. And this is the reason that they're mad. 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.359 But I think I heard President Obama speak this week. 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.199 I can't tell you where it was. I'm having a 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.280 menopause moment, and he said that people are going to 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:26.959 it's going to be a little painful, but churches, dut churches, 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.400 schools and the like are going to have to say 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.640 just what Harvard's saying. You know, no, no thanks, We'll 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:37.239 go off the endowments. We'll not have the you know, 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.159 take your two point two billion over the next two 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.080 years until you're out. We'll figure it out. But we're 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.000 not going to be strong armed, you know, in the 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:46.680 law firms. That was the other one that he was 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.000 speaking about, because you know, he's tasted anybody that didn't 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.840 take him in. We discussed it last week that didn't 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:57.120 take his case and or you know, has some sort 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.359 of case that he doesn't like or agree with, or 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:03.880 they hired an m Hoff or whatever. Uh. He's he's 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.440 cutting the he's he's slapping them on the hand. He's 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.520 cutting there there the cases that they get, the federal 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.960
