00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:15.339
Good morning. It's Monday, November 2nd,
00:00:15.339 --> 00:00:18.600
2026. You're watching or listening to DeProgram
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.339
with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas. Good morning,
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.960
Jamarl. How are you doing? I'm doing fine. Happy
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.879
belated Halloween. Happy belated Halloween to
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.839
you too, and happy pre-election day to you
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.939
as well. Here's what we've got planned for today.
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.679
Obviously, tomorrow is election day, and the
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.920
main story is Haley Stevens. We'll get into her
00:00:40.460 --> 00:00:45.299
last-second change of heart that led to her meltdown,
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.939
leading her to shiv the Democratic nominee that
00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:52.880
she had promised a mere 12 hours before to endorse.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.060
Also, hundreds of thousands of French protesters
00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:00.340
are still continuing to show us how actual
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:05.469
sustained effective protest is done. Also,
00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:09.329
hackers are in the house. They attacked French
00:01:09.329 --> 00:01:12.609
supermarkets and cranked up the freezers up to
00:01:12.609 --> 00:01:15.810
122 degrees overnight, spoiled all the food,
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:18.689
started fires. Now the Pentagon is looking into
00:01:18.689 --> 00:01:22.060
the idea that these same hackers also went
00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:25.439
after U.S. military commissaries. So this is
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.579
kind of like we're sort of getting a sense of
00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.920
the kind of smart home and smart office
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.299
attacks that could become really commonplace
00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:37.689
in the future. Also, Iran launched over 100 drone
00:01:37.689 --> 00:01:40.430
and missile attacks on over two dozen U.S. bases
00:01:40.430 --> 00:01:45.200
across the Middle East over the weekend. There's
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.840
billions of dollars in equipment damage, according
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.219
to the Associated Press. The New York Times used
00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:54.239
AI to analyze all of Trump's appearances since
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.060
2015. It finds that at least AI thinks that the
00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:01.019
president is probably suffering from dementia.
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.859
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei says that if the U.S.
00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.400
attacks Iran again, as is widely expected
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.969
in the days after the midterms tomorrow, that
00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:15.569
there will be a much bigger response than we
00:02:15.569 --> 00:02:19.349
have seen from Iran so far. Okay, so those are
00:02:19.349 --> 00:02:21.969
the main topics. As always, please like, follow,
00:02:22.009 --> 00:02:24.729
and share. Today's Monday. We do Monday, Wednesday,
00:02:24.849 --> 00:02:27.129
Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. here on the program.
00:02:27.449 --> 00:02:29.449
Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we go from 9
00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:33.870
to 10 a.m. We basically have our stories. You've
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:36.330
heard them, but we also like to hear your questions
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:39.069
and consider your ideas for topics for us to
00:02:39.069 --> 00:02:41.229
discuss. So please put those into the live feed
00:02:41.669 --> 00:02:43.550
on YouTube or Rumble if you're watching between
00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:46.629
9 a.m. and 11 a.m. today. Otherwise, thank you
00:02:46.629 --> 00:02:48.469
for watching later. We appreciate you as well.
00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:54.680
Okay, so where shall we begin? Let's start with
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.379
the fun one. I watched the video this morning
00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:01.740
as a reaction thing because I hadn't seen
00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:04.960
the video, and Anderson Cooper, that video is so
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.879
wild to watch. And just for the audience to know,
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.789
Haley Stevens was very bitter. And again, I
00:03:11.789 --> 00:03:13.650
use the term not because she's a woman, as an
00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:15.590
objective measurement of reality. She was bitter.
00:03:16.069 --> 00:03:18.330
She lost the race, right? She was very angry.
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:20.530
And she wouldn't support him. She continued to
00:03:20.530 --> 00:03:23.689
attack El-Sayed after El-Sayed won the race.
00:03:23.729 --> 00:03:25.430
So instead of her folding in and saying, OK,
00:03:25.430 --> 00:03:26.969
I'm going to support him, I'm going to back.
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:29.810
She didn't do that. She apparently went to church
00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:31.509
with Mike Rogers. It seems like she was going
00:03:31.509 --> 00:03:34.409
to vote for Mike Rogers. She was clear that she
00:03:34.409 --> 00:03:37.550
wasn't necessarily going to back El-Sayed. And so
00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:39.870
she goes on Cooper after having a conversation
00:03:39.870 --> 00:03:42.340
with Debbie Dingell, I believe that's her name,
00:03:42.419 --> 00:03:45.680
and whoever else was on that phone call. And
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.539
she wakes up the morning and she goes on Anderson
00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:51.520
Cooper. Anderson Cooper asks a very basic question.
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.560
You now say you're going to back El-Sayed. What changed
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.860
overnight? Very basic question. Only thing she
00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:01.539
had to say was, look, I had a conversation with
00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:04.340
some of my colleagues. I slept on it. And then
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.000
I thought about it and realized, no,
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.639
I need to support him. He's a Democrat and I'm
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.620
going to back my team. That's all she has to
00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:13.139
say. Instead, what you got

was, well,
00:04:13.139 --> 00:04:15.560
I have a weight off my shoulders, Anderson. And
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.120
I had a conversation with Debbie Dingell.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.720
I don't think it was late at night, but it was
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.759
a conversation. And Anderson's
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.019
like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait. Why
00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:27.600
did you change your mind? Same question. And
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.019
he keeps asking her this over and over and over.
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.180
And for whatever particular reason, she just
00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:35.420
can't answer the question. And at one point she
00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:38.410
says, well, I'm independent-minded. And he said,
00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:40.110
whoa, wait, so you may change your mind again?
00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:42.370
And she said, well, and it's just a weight off
00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:47.379
my shoulders. It was such a weird video. It's
00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:49.439
so strange. You answer the question, you move
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.209
on. She couldn't do it. No, she's stalled for
00:04:54.209 --> 00:04:57.910
a good solid six minutes there. She just
00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:00.990
wouldn't come up with a straight answer. Probably
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:03.569
every guy who's ever been frustrated arguing
00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:07.329
with his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend knows the
00:05:07.329 --> 00:05:10.170
feeling that Anderson Cooper, despite being gay,
00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:17.750
had to go through that day. It was really, really...
00:05:17.750 --> 00:05:21.149
The thing is, during
00:05:21.149 --> 00:05:24.069
the debate between her and El-Sayed during the primary,
00:05:24.069 --> 00:05:26.689
what I took note of was the fact that
00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:29.649
really what Michiganders should have been focusing
00:05:29.649 --> 00:05:33.110
on is less about the genocide and more of the
00:05:33.110 --> 00:05:36.209
fact that really she's stupid. And
00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:39.129
someone that stupid probably just
00:05:39.129 --> 00:05:41.910
shouldn't be in high political office. And
00:05:41.910 --> 00:05:44.350
if anybody thinks I'm being mean or sexist
00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:46.029
or whatever, I would just encourage you to just
00:05:46.029 --> 00:05:48.889
go back and go Google those debate
00:05:48.949 --> 00:05:51.230
appearances, or just look at her appearance
00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:53.350
that you just referenced with Anderson Cooper.
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.649
Here's the thing, right? I want to be
00:05:55.649 --> 00:05:58.689
really clear. I think it's fine for people to
00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:01.189
change their mind. And I think it's fine for,
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:05.600
and she has the right to be in favor of massacring
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.779
hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and
00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:11.279
children in Palestine if that's her jam. She has
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.259
that right. Now, obviously, you and I, we
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:16.120
all, everyone on this show comes from a different
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.540
place, but she has that right. Now, but to me, what
00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:24.639
makes this particular act so disgusting and
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.040
the act of a vile turncoat is that she really
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.120
acted like a snake in the grass. She made
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.060
first, basically, she was clearly very
00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:37.060
butthurt by having been defeated by El-Sayed, who
00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:39.879
she expected to defeat. She was
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.300
a sitting congresswoman who thought, is this
00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:45.959
brown-skinned to come in and take this away
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.040
from me? She was pissed off about it. And
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.279
she was kind of expected to lose by even
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.120
more than she did lose by. So I think all of
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.040
that really ground her down. And she was bitter,
00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:01.779
like you said. But then she kind of thought
00:07:01.779 --> 00:07:03.920
better of it. Obviously, people talked to her.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.899
Democrats talked to her behind the scenes and
00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:09.199
emphasized, listen, we need a united party. We
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.939
need to all come together. It would be really
00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.920
important. And she agreed. OK, so here's where
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.430
Ted Rall gets pissed off. You said, OK. I agreed.
00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.670
I'm going to endorse. I will endorse. I'll campaign.
00:07:23.230 --> 00:07:26.110
And then I'll campaign with El-Sayed.
00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:28.449
And we're going to have a unified party and we're
00:07:28.449 --> 00:07:31.430
going to not let this Gaza thing stop
00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:33.589
party unity in the state of Michigan running
00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.829
against Trumpy Mike Rogers in what is the most
00:07:36.829 --> 00:07:39.310
high-profile race in the entire midterm election.
00:07:39.350 --> 00:07:43.110
Right. OK, so she says that. She tells the El-Sayed
00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:46.189
campaign, I will campaign with you. And then
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.759
Sunday, yesterday, she's supposed to have a joint
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.579
appearance where she's going to campaign with.
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.100
This is the voting is taking place right now.
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.819
And she said, OK. And then she said, well, OK,
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:03.420
well, actually, I need you to apologize for this
00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:05.740
ad, which, by the way, he didn't put out. His
00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:08.339
campaign did not put out. This ad came out of
00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:12.410
Cenk Uygur's super PAC. Right, so all she's asking
00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:15.209
him to do
is disavow this ad that he didn't really
00:08:15.209 --> 00:08:19.470
have anything to do with. Right, so he then
00:08:19.470 --> 00:08:21.970
does put out a statement that kind of got glossed
00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:24.769
over where he kind of gives her what she wants.
00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:28.410
He's like, yeah, there's some things
00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:29.870
that there's some people who might have viewed
00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:31.689
it as anti-Semitic. I think you'd have to be
00:08:31.689 --> 00:08:34.129
crazy to see the ad as anti-Semitic. We talked
00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:36.789
about it here, but the point is he kind of gave
00:08:36.789 --> 00:08:38.889
her what she wanted.
00:08:38.889 --> 00:08:44.659
Then she said, okay, I got you. I'll be there. I'll
00:08:44.659 --> 00:08:47.820
see you on Sunday. I'm going to endorse you.
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.279
And then she changes her mind again, right? Again.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.740
So she's basically, like I tweeted over the weekend,
00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:57.120
El-Sayed should know better than to negotiate with
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.159
terrorists. She keeps changing.
00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:03.779
She's the anti-Vladimir Putin in that Vladimir
00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:05.679
Putin always just says, this is what I want.
00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.679
And he sticks to it for years. This chick is
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.019
like, hey, we're going to, I want this
00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:15.789
and she's like, and he's like, okay, and she's like,
00:09:15.789 --> 00:09:18.549
well, I want this also. He's like, all right, and
00:09:18.549 --> 00:09:21.230
he just keeps coming back and back over and over
00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:23.429
and over and over. And then finally he was like,
00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:24.950
I don't know if you necessarily need
00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:26.850
to show up at this appearance, probably because
00:09:26.850 --> 00:09:28.929
he couldn't believe. He, probably the campaign
00:09:28.929 --> 00:09:31.870
couldn't trust her to say what she said she was
00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.009
going to do, that she might do a bait and switch,
00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:38.889
like, oh, I know I said I was gonna. So
00:09:38.889 --> 00:09:41.769
obviously they had to withdraw
00:09:41.769 --> 00:09:45.129
because she was acting so erratic. She's
00:09:45.129 --> 00:09:48.169
erratic even within the course of that six minutes.
00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:51.570
There's no ideological or logical
00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:56.309
coherence in this woman's thinking. And if there
00:09:56.309 --> 00:09:59.009
is, she's completely unable to articulate it.
00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:02.889
So to me, as you know, I think El-Sayed
00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:04.929
is a bit of a, his personality is like
00:10:04.929 --> 00:10:08.590
he's a bit of a jerk. Right. He's a bit of a
00:10:08.590 --> 00:10:11.809
but the point is he's the victim here.
00:10:11.809 --> 00:10:18.169
And she is a bad, bad, stupid person, and
00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:20.950
the Michiganders are lucky. They're better
00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:22.509
off with Mike Rogers than they would have been
00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:25.429
with her. At least Mike Rogers
00:10:25.429 --> 00:10:30.309
is not an idiot. She's an idiot, and
00:10:30.309 --> 00:10:33.470
it's actually terrifying that someone that stupid
00:10:33.470 --> 00:10:36.740
came so close to the U.S. Senate. Yeah. If you
00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:39.000
told me that she was on an acid trip, I would
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.279
totally have believed you when she watched that
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.860
interview. She seemed out of her mind.
00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.720
At one point she even said, because I think it
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.409
seems like there's something, it's almost like
00:10:50.409 --> 00:10:52.049
you're having an interrogation and the person
00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:54.200
doesn't want to say something. That's what the
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.100
interview looked like. Because at one point she
00:10:57.100 --> 00:10:59.360
even said something like, well, he
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.840
has all of these other high-profile Democrats.
00:11:01.779 --> 00:11:04.419
And what she's talking about is Obama and Kamala
00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:08.309
Harris closing ranks around El-Sayed, which means
00:11:08.309 --> 00:11:10.309
which makes it you would imagine somebody like
00:11:10.309 --> 00:11:13.629
Stevens that would be very hard for you to deal
00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:16.210
with, right? Like you have the super, the luminaries
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:19.649
of the Democratic Party closing ranks, and she's
00:11:19.649 --> 00:11:22.210
out here having interviews like this where apparently
00:11:22.210 --> 00:11:24.750
she got a stern talking-to, and that stern talking-
00:11:24.750 --> 00:11:28.330
to tried to get her to have her mind right. What's
00:11:28.330 --> 00:11:30.970
wild about this interview also is why did I just
00:11:30.970 --> 00:11:34.769
lie and vote for Mike Rogers? Why does this
00:11:34.769 --> 00:11:36.529
need to be a public thing? Why does it
00:11:36.529 --> 00:11:39.610
need to be? It doesn't. Right, it doesn't.
00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:42.750
It seems like she's trying to sabotage his campaign.
00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:45.509
That's totally what this looks like. Yeah, especially
00:11:45.509 --> 00:11:49.049
the last-minute nature of it. There's
00:11:49.049 --> 00:11:51.629
so many ways she could have handled this differently.
00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:52.789
And by the way, she keeps calling him angry.
00:11:53.409 --> 00:11:55.110
She's like, well, he's so angry, he's so angry.
00:11:55.269 --> 00:11:58.269
It was like, you were bitter. When you got out
00:11:58.269 --> 00:12:00.950
the race and continued to attack him, why wouldn't
00:12:00.950 --> 00:12:02.750
he feel so kind of way about it? The reality
00:12:02.750 --> 00:12:04.929
is, and let's be very clear, if roles were
reversed,
00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:07.590
they would be screaming at him to support her
00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:10.210
campaign and her candidates. And he would most
00:12:10.210 --> 00:12:13.139
likely do. This is the Bernie Sanders nonsense,
00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:17.580
right? For me, this is exactly like Sanders,
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.840
where Sanders is running in the race and you
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.159
have all of these people who are ostensibly on
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.759
the left conned into believing that you guys
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.570
are on the same side. And then when Sanders,
00:12:27.809 --> 00:12:30.230
where all the energy is in the party, is focused
00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:32.509
on him. What do they do? They do everything in
00:12:32.509 --> 00:12:34.690
their power to kill his campaign, to put a knife
00:12:34.690 --> 00:12:37.289
in him. And people realize all of a sudden, whoa,
00:12:37.309 --> 00:12:39.669
whoa, whoa. So we're not on the same side. We're
00:12:39.669 --> 00:12:41.970
not on the same team. You guys consider yourself
00:12:41.970 --> 00:12:44.370
something different. But the sad part is, for
00:12:44.370 --> 00:12:47.610
all of these years, you've had people on the
00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:50.269
left following Democrats under this idea that
00:12:50.269 --> 00:12:53.870
we're under the one tent. And races like this
00:12:53.870 --> 00:12:57.840
make it clear. Blue no matter who. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.360
But Blue No Matter Who, as you and I know, only
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.440
works one way. It works when the nominee is a
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.220
corporatist and they want the progressives to
00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:09.860
go Blue No Matter Who. But when it's the other
00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:12.820
way around, it doesn't work that way. Yeah. And
00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:15.100
that was evidence right here. And I suspect,
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.500
honestly, that's why Harris and Obama got involved.
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.289
What they don't want is this perception in this
00:13:22.289 --> 00:13:24.730
high-profile race that this only goes one way,
00:13:24.789 --> 00:13:27.559
even though it really only goes one way. You
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.799
know, it really, by the way, I wanted to get
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.220
your thoughts on this. Before I do that, let's
00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:34.960
do a few comments. Mr. Charles says, how do you
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.899
flub Anderson Cooper? That's like bunny slopes.
00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:40.840
Well, he didn't even answer me that hard. It's
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.320
like, hey, is it raining outside? Well, Anderson,
00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:47.679
it's just a weight off my shoulders.
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.340
I just, oh God, I just don't know. It's
00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:55.049
one of the, it's so weird. It's so
00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:58.169
easy, and she just couldn't. And
00:13:58.169 --> 00:14:00.070
what it is, all she had to really say is
00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:02.690
I gave it a lot of thought and I went back
00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:05.429
and forth, and on the one hand I really wanted
00:14:05.429 --> 00:14:07.429
to support the Democratic Party, but on the other
00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:10.529
hand I really am so worried about anti-Semitism
00:14:10.529 --> 00:14:13.669
and my fiancé is Jewish, so in the end I went
00:14:13.669 --> 00:14:15.529
back and forth and this is where I ended up coming
00:14:15.529 --> 00:14:19.009
down. Why do you even have to sell that much? I
00:14:19.009 --> 00:14:20.629
had a conversation. At least that would be that
00:14:20.629 --> 00:14:23.450
would at least be a logical explanation. No, it
00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:25.070
would be as opposed to whatever the hell she
00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:27.470
was doing. From my point of view, this
00:14:27.470 --> 00:14:30.590
is a very straightforward question. I thought
00:14:30.590 --> 00:14:33.570
about it. Hell, you can even say I prayed about
00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:38.090
it. She was the DNC favorite, right? El-Sayed was the
00:14:38.090 --> 00:14:41.289
insurgent. Yeah. I thought about
00:14:41.289 --> 00:14:43.009
it and I was talking about candidate equality.
00:14:43.009 --> 00:14:46.450
But if you were, but if you or I were
00:14:46.450 --> 00:14:47.830
running for Senate and we were trying to get
00:14:47.830 --> 00:14:50.600
the DNC to, they would interview us, right?
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.240
They talked to her. Okay, she's always been this
00:14:55.240 --> 00:15:00.389
stupid, right? You see, how did they get
00:15:00.389 --> 00:15:03.429
to this? How did she ever get this far? I mean,
00:15:03.470 --> 00:15:06.809
if she were running for municipal
00:15:06.809 --> 00:15:09.990
judge in Tuscaloosa, it'd be like, yeah, no,
00:15:10.129 --> 00:15:13.149
we can't. We can't put our party imprimatur on
00:15:13.149 --> 00:15:15.870
her. She's just too fucking stupid. Okay,
00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:17.429
so I wouldn't have to walk my dog, let alone
00:15:17.429 --> 00:15:20.230
run for office. Oh, my God. Well, your dog's
00:15:20.230 --> 00:15:21.690
gone. Your dog's going to be running. She'll
00:15:21.690 --> 00:15:24.269
come back just like the dog got run over by a
00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:26.409
car. She'll come back just with the leash and
00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:28.330
some gristle attached to the end of the leash.
00:15:29.490 --> 00:15:32.169
P.W. Walker, Stevens knows she has no political
00:15:32.169 --> 00:15:35.509
future, so her only option is to express her
00:15:35.509 --> 00:15:37.750
Zionism in hopes of future employment, and thanks
00:15:37.750 --> 00:15:41.009
for the donation. I think part of it is she just
00:15:41.009 --> 00:15:43.230
lost the race. She was the favorite. She lost
00:15:43.230 --> 00:15:46.809
the race, and she's acting out. But it does also
00:15:46.809 --> 00:15:49.269
play into, I don't want to let the
Zionism
00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:51.529
thing completely off the hook here, because
00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:55.120
this plays into some really classic
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.879
anti-Semitic tropes. She's feeding them,
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.159
right? So first of all, it's kind of like she's
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.659
not Jewish, but she gets engaged to a Jewish
00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:07.659
guy. And everything's kind of chill until that
00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:10.980
becomes clear. And then he starts yapping, right?
00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:13.340
Which, by the way, I think it's a rule of
00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:17.200
being married. Who was that? Remember there was
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.840
that Trump lady who, whose husband they
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.080
got divorced. But basically they were a high-profile
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.860
couple, and yes, she and he was talking shit.
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.799
Yes, yeah, Conway, and Mr. Conway started
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.360
talking shit about Trump, and I was really
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.730
pissed off at him. Look, if you're married
00:16:36.730 --> 00:16:39.990
to a lady who works for the president, you don't
00:16:39.990 --> 00:16:42.590
publicly diss the president, no matter who he
00:16:42.590 --> 00:16:44.289
is and how much you don't like him. It's
00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:46.190
just not cool. That's your spouse. That's
00:16:46.190 --> 00:16:49.350
it. That's her job. And so yeah, you're trashing
00:16:49.350 --> 00:16:51.929
your wife, right? And so that's kind of
00:16:51.929 --> 00:16:54.889
what happened here, where
00:16:54.889 --> 00:16:58.129
he gave an interview with the fiancé and
00:16:58.129 --> 00:17:00.029
said, Haley Stevens' fiancé, and said,
00:17:00.029 --> 00:17:02.690
oh, we're, I'm really
00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:06.400
against this. So then after this, she's seen as
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.799
pivoting, right? So what does this look like? It
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.220
looks like Jewish influence operating
00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:15.880
behind the scenes in a skullduggerous
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.299
kind of dishonorable way. She's done
00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:23.359
more to invoke anti-Semitism than
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.619
anyone else in American politics has in years.
00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:31.960
Well, she's weaponizing his Muslim religion. That's
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.859
what she's doing. If you're looking at the
00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:36.980
way Americans see certain religions, or if you
00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:41.500
take polling on it, Islam was like one of the
00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:43.900
heights in regards to the way they saw it in
00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:49.420
a negative light. Islam and atheism. Socialism
00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:53.279
isn't even a problem anymore. No, the young is
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.559
okay with that, right? That's a plus. Yeah, that's
00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.140
a plus. This was kind of the argument Tucker
00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:00.880
Carlson had with Mark Cuban, and where he was
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.200
like, yeah, it's going to scare the shit out
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.819
of you guys. What's coming to that? Right. It's
00:18:06.819 --> 00:18:09.039
like young people can't get a house. People can't
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.000
afford these things. Obviously, what's going
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.779
to come is going to have to be it's going to
00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.259
come from that angle. And that is going to be
00:18:15.259 --> 00:18:17.380
something that is going to be instantiated. Mark
00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:19.160
Cuban was trying to make this argument. Well,
00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:20.599
we need to care about the entrepreneurs
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.700
do. That's not what Tucker Carlson is talking
00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.559
about. That's not what he's talking about. I
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.660
mean, Mark Cuban is a really smart business person,
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.599
but his politics are dumb. They always happen.
00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:35.759
Right. But he's rich, right? So he's doing things
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.759
in order to ensure that he remains rich. People
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.519
try to ensure their stations. Sure. But no, you're
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.460
absolutely right. The AIPAC thing may play
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:48.119
a part in it. Yeah, that may play a part in it.
00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:50.759
I don't doubt it. And again, she's just weaponizing
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.119
his religion at that point, Muslim. What she's
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:57.259
getting wrong about it is that AIPAC is a stain.
00:18:58.049 --> 00:19:02.509
That's not a positive. No, it's not. It is not
00:19:02.509 --> 00:19:06.289
a good. These days, even if you're a politician
00:19:06.289 --> 00:19:08.950
running in an American election and you have
00:19:08.950 --> 00:19:11.750
the choice between a generous donation from AIPAC
00:19:11.750 --> 00:19:15.589
and no AIPAC endorsement at all, you should go
00:19:15.589 --> 00:19:18.740
with B. That's worth more to you. The AIPAC is
00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:21.059
funneling their money now to different PACs,
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.519
though. Yes, exactly. So to say the AIPAC is no
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.559
longer effective is incorrect. Well, to be fair,
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.660
I never said they weren't effective. Oh, yeah,
00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:33.599
no, for sure. But people find out, and the mere
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.700
fact that they have to do that tells you the
00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:38.019
whole story. That tells you a whole lot. And
00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:40.039
so she's running with this idea of, well, I can
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.599
weaponize this religion against them. Okay, well,
00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:45.619
for one, you're in Michigan. The largest
00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:50.000
Muslim population in the
United States. And two,
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:54.720
it didn't work. It's read the room.
00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:56.740
You're backing a group that's committing a genocide.
00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:58.500
I'm a little mad at him, too. El-Sayed was a bit
00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:02.779
of a puss. He should not have talked down the
00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:06.339
Cenk Uygur ad. He should have. As soon
00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:09.039
as she said, I'm going to need you to apologize,
00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:11.480
I would have been like, thank you so
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.950
much for your support. Goodbye. Yeah, I don't need
00:20:14.950 --> 00:20:17.289
it, which ultimately he ended up basically telling
00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:18.869
her, right? Because that's what that's where you're
00:20:18.869 --> 00:20:20.650
going to end up anyway with someone like that.
00:20:20.650 --> 00:20:22.890
It's just not reasonable
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:26.650
to ask. Even if he privately thought that
00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:28.750
the ad went too far, which would be retarded for
00:20:28.750 --> 00:20:30.410
him to think, but let's just say he thought that,
00:20:30.410 --> 00:20:34.049
he shouldn't apologize or because it's just weakness.
00:20:34.049 --> 00:20:37.650
It's not good. Do you think the dude actually
00:20:37.650 --> 00:20:43.519
has a spine? A serious question. Is he able to
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.819
walk on his own? If he's not able to walk on
00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:47.380
his own, what does it matter if he gets elected
00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.980
or not? He's just going to be another puss in
00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:53.259
Congress. More likely than not, yeah.
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.299
A lot of people think... people like us, well,
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.180
here's the thing. Why are we talking about it?
00:20:58.740 --> 00:21:01.460
It's like this is the dancing bears of electoral
00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:06.480
democracy, as Stalin famously said. The quote
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.660
is something along the lines of, when I see the
00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:10.819
dancing bears of electoral democracy, I reach
00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:15.700
for my revolver. It's such a great, so great.
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.180
There's some dispute as to whether that's an
00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:21.319
accurate quote or not, but it's still good. I
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:27.430
hope it is. Anyway, the point is, look, do I
00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:30.769
care really about El-Sayed being elected? I mean,
00:21:30.829 --> 00:21:33.789
not a lot, because I think in the end, nothing
00:21:33.789 --> 00:21:36.410
much really changes in the system. But here's
00:21:36.410 --> 00:21:41.630
the thing. This split, this schism inside the
00:21:41.630 --> 00:21:45.009
Democratic Party, and to make it really simplistic,
00:21:45.150 --> 00:21:48.589
between a leadership that is totally in the bag
00:21:48.589 --> 00:21:51.509
for AIPAC and for Israel and for killing Palestinians,
00:21:52.789 --> 00:21:55.289
and between the voters of the Democratic Party
00:21:55.289 --> 00:21:58.569
who feel exactly the opposite way. They say it's
00:21:58.569 --> 00:22:00.329
a split within the party. It's not a split within
00:22:00.329 --> 00:22:02.569
the party. It's a split between the bosses of
00:22:02.569 --> 00:22:05.289
the party and the voters of the party, and
00:22:05.289 --> 00:22:08.329
that split is really worth analyzing, and that's
00:22:08.329 --> 00:22:11.589
what this is symbolic of, right? She could
00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:14.470
easily end up at MSNBC or whatever, although
00:22:14.470 --> 00:22:17.690
I think not because she has a face for
00:22:17.690 --> 00:22:21.099
radio. Yeah, yeah, she's and she's too dumb. Yeah,
00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:23.099
you got to be able to string words together in
00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:25.180
a way that makes sense, especially on your feet.
00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:27.559
You're going to need a noun and verb in every sentence,
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.079
right? It can't just be, God, man, she looked like
00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:34.500
she was on an acid trip. It just was the weirdest
00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:37.759
thing in the world, but she didn't look high. She
00:22:37.789 --> 00:22:40.509
sounded a little bit. It was a little bit honestly
00:22:40.509 --> 00:22:43.730
ironic, a little Trumpy in terms of just
00:22:43.730 --> 00:22:48.650
the, yeah, but she was completely sober, which is
00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:52.079
the wild part. It's like, is she stoned? What's
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.500
wrong with her? How do you make it to Congress
00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:59.450
and can't deal with a basic interview? Yeah.
00:23:00.049 --> 00:23:02.750
It wasn't like he even asked her anything
00:23:02.750 --> 00:23:07.670
complicated. No, no. Here's
00:23:07.670 --> 00:23:09.890
the thing, right? You're going to be, when
00:23:09.890 --> 00:23:13.630
you're interviewed like that. You know exactly
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:16.349
what Anderson Cooper is going to ask you.
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.680
Why'd you change your mind? Because that's the
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.859
story. Woman changes mind. And it's like, okay,
00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:25.000
so why do you change your mind? She doesn't have
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.059
an answer? She should have just not accepted
00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:28.799
the interview if she didn't have an answer for
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.859
it. And by the way, why don't you have an answer
00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:34.940
for it? Why? What's going on? There's an
00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:38.119
answer. Yeah, there's an obvious answer. I got
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.680
a stern talking-to. I got a stern talking-to.
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.680
From AIPAC. Ted, can you stop being sexist? You
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:46.579
think it was AIPAC that gave her a talking-to.
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.259
I think it's the Democratic Party that gave her
00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:49.400
a talking-to. Well, they both gave her a stern
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.440
talking-to. It's the same organism. AIPAC is
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.940
the Democratic Party. But I don't think those
00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:58.140
are the same organism. But real quick, I don't
00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:00.380
think – I mean, I would make the argument that
00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:02.740
AIPAC was probably in her ear from the standpoint
00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:06.450
of Mike Rogers. And through her fiancé. This
00:24:06.450 --> 00:24:08.869
could have been a contest between her loyalty
00:24:08.869 --> 00:24:10.869
to AIPAC versus the loyalties to the Democratic
00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:12.829
Party. Maybe her fiancé was like, no more oral
00:24:12.829 --> 00:24:19.420
sex unless you do this. If you ever want to have
00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:23.059
a screaming orgasm again, you know what you have
00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:27.740
to do. Yeah. It's kind of rough. You're
00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:31.240
a Democrat, and Obama and Kamala Harris, the former
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:34.019
president who's still a luminary of the party. The previous
00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:36.839
one that ran for president and failed are surrounding.
00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:41.099
And you are sitting here, Haley Stevens, that
00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:44.039
nobody knows just for this race, and nobody is
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.859
going to know you after. And you're just going
00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:49.319
to be remembered as one of the great turncoats
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.000
and sleazebags of American politics. I mean,
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.460
imagine what could go wrong, right? It is theoretically
00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:58.920
possible, although I think increasingly unlikely,
00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:02.339
that this race would tip the balance of the Senate
00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:05.079
to the Republicans. That's entirely possible.
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:09.269
And so literally, you could be because of
00:25:09.269 --> 00:25:11.890
your butthurtness or whatever the fuck is going
00:25:11.890 --> 00:25:14.450
on, or just because you decide suddenly she said
00:25:14.450 --> 00:25:18.049
Israel comes to her in her dreams. Okay, like if
00:25:18.049 --> 00:25:21.789
she, her thing for Israel, that's she's willing.
00:25:21.789 --> 00:25:23.950
She says she's still a Democrat. She's willing
00:25:23.950 --> 00:25:26.990
to watch the Senate go to the Republicans in
00:25:26.990 --> 00:25:30.809
what is a widely watched. These midterm
00:25:30.809 --> 00:25:33.089
elections are so watched. There are people who
00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:35.230
are not, and I'm one of them, who are not entirely
00:25:35.230 --> 00:25:38.230
sure that the votes will all be counted and that
00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:41.809
this process will play out the way it's supposed
00:25:41.809 --> 00:25:45.789
to, right? People are at a feverish pitch.
00:25:45.930 --> 00:25:48.950
In the midst of this, you're going to pull this
00:25:48.950 --> 00:25:53.589
shenanigan. You need that much attention. It's
00:25:53.589 --> 00:25:56.809
so petty. It's so petty. It's just so
00:25:56.809 --> 00:26:00.470
petty. Again, if she decided early on,
00:26:00.490 --> 00:26:02.529
after the primary, okay,
00:26:02.589 --> 00:26:04.269
well, I just can't vote for this guy. I mean,
00:26:04.289 --> 00:26:06.309
I can't endorse him. She could have just made
00:26:06.309 --> 00:26:08.650
that clear from the outset and just said,
00:26:08.650 --> 00:26:12.230
dude, I'm a Zionist. You're a jihadi.
00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:17.410
Go with God. Enjoy. Fuck you. Bye. And then that
00:26:17.410 --> 00:26:18.990
would have been the end of it, and everyone would
00:26:18.990 --> 00:26:21.309
have known where everyone stood. And that, frankly,
00:26:21.329 --> 00:26:23.490
would have been a position of integrity for her.
00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:26.769
That's a problem, though. That position is problematic,
00:26:27.049 --> 00:26:30.069
though. Well, it's not. Obviously, it's not.
00:26:30.109 --> 00:26:31.910
No, no. I mean, like, well, I guess two things.
00:26:32.009 --> 00:26:33.549
One. But at least it would have been internally
00:26:33.549 --> 00:26:36.690
consistent. This is not. It would have been internally
00:26:36.690 --> 00:26:42.160
consistent. But she's a Democrat. It's a problem.
00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:44.819
Meaning it's very difficult to make that
00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:48.299
argument openly. At least get out of the way.
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.279
If you can't really do party unity, at least
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.500
shut up. Yeah, just walk away. She made
00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:56.660
the decision to attack him. Which is, wow, this
00:26:56.660 --> 00:27:00.460
is the Elizabeth Warren stuff again. Oh, it's
00:27:00.460 --> 00:27:03.579
worse. Yeah, it's the snake behavior again. People
00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:05.380
were making snake emojis for Elizabeth Warren,
00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:07.980
and rightly so. Elizabeth Warren famously gets
00:27:07.980 --> 00:27:11.079
out the race. Sanders thinks that she's going
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.299
to support him, and she turns around and attacks
00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:14.940
him, saying... Well, because they had promised
00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:18.400
that. They said that they had a Three Musketeers
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.740
vow. Whichever one
00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:25.150
of us loses endorses the other one. Wait, did
00:27:25.150 --> 00:27:27.230
they actually have that agreement? Because Warren
00:27:27.230 --> 00:27:29.450
had made an agreement with Hillary Clinton years
00:27:29.450 --> 00:27:32.069
before. But she made an agreement with Bernie
00:27:32.069 --> 00:27:34.369
like, oh, we'll support each other. Because you
00:27:34.369 --> 00:27:36.630
remember if you watch the early debates, they
00:27:36.630 --> 00:27:38.990
sort of support each other. They run interference
00:27:38.990 -->
00:27:41.210
for each other in the early debates. And then
00:27:41.210 --> 00:27:43.769
suddenly she sees the advantage and she goes,
00:27:43.869 --> 00:27:47.349
and the look on his face like, the fuck? Yeah,
00:27:47.410 --> 00:27:50.799
he was shocked. He was shocked. But I guess I'm
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.019
saying there was an agreement early on back in
00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:55.400
like 2012 between Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.960
Warren for Warren to not get into the race because
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.240
Hillary Clinton wanted to run. And from my point
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.759
of view, it's like, OK, but that agreement probably
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.519
never ended. Warren saw an advantage. She had
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.279
her allegiances that were ironclad going back
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.559
from years before. And she went after Sanders
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:14.799
and went after him in a very distasteful way,
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.200
basically saying he was a sexual abuser of some
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:19.980
shit like because of her people, because of the
00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:24.119
Bernie Bros that were attacking her, the men bros
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:27.559
attacking her. And yeah, there's there never was
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.440
any such thing as Bernie Bros. No, but that's what
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.819
she used as a weapon against Sanders. I'd never
00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:35.000
forgive her for that shit. It's so outrageous.
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.539
And Haley Stevens is effectively doing her version
00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:39.299
of this, even though she's not using Bernie Bros.
00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.079
She's still going with this idea of trying to
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.980
destroy it. All I can say is thank God for John
00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:46.220
Fetterman, because if it wasn't for him, we'd just
00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:48.799
say, oh my God, this is female behavior.
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.720
But thank God John Fetterman's just as bad. I think
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:54.420
we're missing. I think y'all are missing two
00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:58.019
different things here, and so I'm going to try to
00:28:58.019 --> 00:29:01.079
unpack this in a way that my autistic brain is
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:05.220
able to articulate in normal language. I think
00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:07.519
she's being a good Democrat. She is showing her
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:09.920
loyalty to the Democratic Party because the Democratic
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.880
Party would rather the Republicans take the seat
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.619
because at the end of the day, the Republicans
00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:18.420
and the Democrats both answer to the
00:29:18.420 --> 00:29:21.720
same donor class. All this is is marketing. This
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:27.200
is WWE. Nothing changes. She is being a good Democrat.
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.779
She would rather run
with the party bosses, blow
00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:34.490
up a guy who both you just admit can barely
00:29:34.490 --> 00:29:36.690
walk. He's like a toddler trying to find his
00:29:36.690 --> 00:29:40.700
feet and just keeps face-planting. And that's
00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:44.259
too much to give a Democratic voter. At least
00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:46.240
the symbolism of someone who actually cares about
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.759
you and listens to you. You can't have that.
00:29:48.890 --> 00:29:53.009
So she is being a good Democrat. She is. She
00:29:53.009 --> 00:29:55.930
is circling it. Then why is Obama there? And
00:29:55.930 --> 00:30:01.809
why is Dingell giving her tongue-lashing? There
00:30:01.809 --> 00:30:05.549
was no optics. Dingell's call was private. Yeah,
00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:07.930
and I'm talking about as far as Obama goes.
00:30:07.930 --> 00:30:10.390
Obama's going there. He's trying to – you still
00:30:10.390 --> 00:30:11.869
got to go – you have to go and you have to play
00:30:11.869 --> 00:30:15.369
the game. You can't just show the masses
00:30:15.369 --> 00:30:19.670
that you're one and the same with the other political
00:30:19.670 --> 00:30:22.450
party that you demonize as being white supremacist,
00:30:22.450 --> 00:30:25.190
racist, and xenophobic. You got to do the
00:30:25.190 --> 00:30:27.369
dance. You got to make the bears dance, to quote
00:30:27.369 --> 00:30:30.700
you, Ted. Obama is there just to show. He's not
00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:32.480
there because he's trying to get people to vote.
00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:35.539
But you realize, right, that if Obama is going
00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:37.799
there, the public doesn't really know it's for
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.500
show. And the public is responding to the fact
00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:41.539
that Obama is there with the idea of trying to
00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:44.039
get him elected. So which part of it is show?
00:30:44.609 --> 00:30:48.049
I think the entire thing is just showbiz. Because
00:30:48.049 --> 00:30:52.509
the Democrats cannot just go out and not support
00:30:52.509 --> 00:30:54.650
their candidate. They have to at least make an
00:30:54.650 --> 00:30:58.359
effort to make it look like, to produce an illusion
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:02.079
about this is what we're doing. But then did
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:05.220
y'all see that thing I put on the channel chat?
00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:09.339
So if he wins, it's a fluke. Yeah, 100%. Meaning
00:31:09.339 --> 00:31:11.720
the Democrats fuck up if he wins. If El-Sayed
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:16.299
gets the publicity from Obama being there, he
00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:19.700
gets the publicity from Kamala Harris being there.
00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:21.980
The black vote says, yes, we're going to vote
00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:23.779
for El-Sayed as a result of Obama being there.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.519
Then that's a fluke. That's not Obama's intention.
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.940
Obama really wants him to lose, but Obama has
00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:36.099
to play the game. Yeah, I think that's politics.
00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:40.259
Politics. I take it. Look, I think it's more like
00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:42.339
I look, I think I'm on team Jamarl here. I think
00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:45.920
that what is happening here is, of course, okay,
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.859
Robby, you're right. These are both Zionist pro-
00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:52.079
Israel parties at the leadership, but
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:54.819
it's also true that both parties would rather
00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:59.759
win than lose elections. And so really
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:06.859
power and money, power, money, control. But the Democrats
00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:10.740
would rather they would rather beat the Republicans.
00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:13.650
It's not all just sock puppetry. They
00:32:13.650 --> 00:32:16.849
do want to win elections because it's better
00:32:16.849 --> 00:32:20.549
to win than to lose. There's more grift if you
00:32:20.549 --> 00:32:24.789
win. Like Donald Trump, when he lost, he didn't
00:32:24.789 --> 00:32:27.269
become a billionaire when he lost. He became
00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:29.529
a billionaire as president. That's where the
00:32:29.529 --> 00:32:32.309
money is. No, I get that. But you've got to think
00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:36.529
about this from a business, from a machine. Yeah,
00:32:36.569 --> 00:32:38.329
the individual politicians, they want
00:32:38.329 --> 00:32:42.700
to get their piece of the pie, 100%. But here's
00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:44.970
the part that y'all are missing. The Republicans
00:32:44.970 --> 00:32:48.130
and the Democrats, both parties are funded by
00:32:48.130 --> 00:32:51.190
the exact same people. Those people are the war
00:32:51.190 --> 00:32:54.170
party. Those people are the AIPAC-adjacent groups.
00:32:54.589 --> 00:32:58.519
It's the ADL. It's all these other groups. They
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:02.299
do not want anyone in there that's actually going
00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:04.420
to try to make any kind of a meaningful change
00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:08.069
or obstruct or start asking questions. You would
00:33:08.069 --> 00:33:10.589
rather you would rather throw that election to
00:33:10.589 --> 00:33:12.670
your so-called opponent, but you can't just do
00:33:12.670 --> 00:33:17.970
it overtly. That'd be too obvious. That Obama really
00:33:17.970 --> 00:33:19.950
has, from the standpoint of the public, is his
00:33:19.950 --> 00:33:23.450
appearance. He didn't have to show up. It's not
00:33:23.450 --> 00:33:25.890
about Obama, though. It's the party bosses. That's
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.390
the point that I'm making. They told him, okay,
00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:30.230
you have to go. You have to go play this show.
00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:33.069
You got to go perform like the monkey
00:33:33.069 --> 00:33:35.759
that you are. Juggle the balls, beat the
00:33:35.759 -->
00:33:37.660
drums, put on the show at the circus.
00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:41.819
But at the end of the day, though, we would rather
00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:44.740
have an Israel-first Zionist who's
00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:47.960
in there. And one other thing, think about this.
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.269
Manila is, Manila's been through this. Steven, she's
00:33:52.269 --> 00:33:56.809
engaged to a Jewish fella. Judaism
00:33:56.809 --> 00:34:00.750
is a matriarchal religion. Depending on how religious
00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:02.730
this dude is, she'll have to convert to Judaism
00:34:02.730 --> 00:34:05.849
and everything else. She said she was considering
00:34:05.849 --> 00:34:09.510
it. Just like Yael did. That's Ivanka's name now
00:34:09.510 --> 00:34:11.769
because you have to change your name. You forsake
00:34:11.769 --> 00:34:14.170
your entire identity. You become a member of
00:34:14.170 --> 00:34:17.070
the tribe. So there are two different avenues
00:34:17.070 --> 00:34:20.309
here. She is being a good Democrat. She is being
00:34:20.309 --> 00:34:22.650
a good Zionist. She got the call from the people
00:34:22.650 --> 00:34:26.210
who matter. That's why she's doing this. Well,
00:34:26.269 --> 00:34:28.329
it sounds like she might actually believe in
00:34:28.329 --> 00:34:30.739
it. Right, but of course. Sounds like she got the
00:34:30.739 --> 00:34:34.570
call to support El-Sayed, not the other way around.
00:34:34.570 --> 00:34:36.989
Like many that the argument doesn't make sense
00:34:36.989 --> 00:34:39.230
to me, Robby. I understand your point, but it doesn't
00:34:39.230 --> 00:34:41.710
make sense to me. Obama goes there with the idea
00:34:41.710 --> 00:34:45.809
of, hey, black community, he's soft on this. I'm
00:34:45.809 --> 00:34:48.429
with him on this particular issue. Then you get
00:34:48.429 --> 00:34:51.690
Kamala Harris going. This is the establishment
00:34:51.690 --> 00:34:55.929
of the party, the previous and basically the
00:34:55.929 --> 00:34:57.710
previous two people who were running for that
00:34:57.710 --> 00:34:59.449
particular office. Joe Biden is out of his mind.
00:34:59.550 --> 00:35:00.909
That's probably why Joe Biden didn't show up.
00:35:01.010 --> 00:35:03.730
Meaning they're closing ranks around him. That
00:35:03.730 --> 00:35:06.670
doesn't sound like we're closing ranks around
00:35:06.670 --> 00:35:08.449
him, but really behind the scenes, we're really
00:35:08.449 --> 00:35:10.389
trying to kill this campaign. Look, I think they
00:35:10.389 --> 00:35:14.070
would have rather have had Stevens. But once
00:35:14.070 --> 00:35:16.449
they didn't have Stevens, they were stuck with
00:35:16.449 --> 00:35:19.210
her, with him, and they decided to, all right,
00:35:19.210 --> 00:35:20.949
we're going to embrace him, or we're going to
00:35:20.949 --> 00:35:24.329
get him across the finish line. And they're probably
00:35:24.329 --> 00:35:29.730
figuring, look, he'll be one dude, and we'll
lean
00:35:29.730 --> 00:35:32.010
on him once he's in office. He'll be a shapeable
00:35:32.010 --> 00:35:36.250
factor. He already showed he was shapeable by
00:35:36.250 --> 00:35:39.769
the fact that he was willing to talk shit about
00:35:39.769 --> 00:35:42.809
the ad, which he did, and he shouldn't have. Yeah,
00:35:42.829 --> 00:35:44.909
I agree. But the question is, though, is that
00:35:44.909 --> 00:35:49.130
at that point, why are so many of the lefty influencers
00:35:49.130 --> 00:35:52.070
joining with Laura Loomer, of all people, calling
00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:55.239
the dude a jihadist? It's like they are
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.760
using the Islamic scare to try and scare
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:04.159
the influencers or cool. It's a bunch of
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:07.179
people over on X. Just go through. So basically
00:36:07.179 --> 00:36:10.420
what the newest firestorm is, there's
00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:12.760
a fella. He writes for the New York Times. I shared
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.389
the link for y'all on the chat, and this is what
00:36:15.389 --> 00:36:18.090
he put. If God forbid Abdul loses, this will be
00:36:18.090 --> 00:36:20.289
a watershed moment in Democratic politics. The
00:36:20.289 --> 00:36:23.130
fire will rise. It's over. People will be radicalized
00:36:23.130 --> 00:36:25.429
against corporate pro-Israel Dems. There'll be
00:36:25.429 --> 00:36:27.909
a reckoning. If and when he wins, it will be a
00:36:27.909 --> 00:36:29.750
watershed moment, and that reckoning will still
00:36:29.750 --> 00:36:33.769
come. And the way that this is being spun is
00:36:33.769 --> 00:36:36.210
this is the religion of peace going out again,
00:36:36.210 --> 00:36:40.230
threatening violence if he loses. And there's
00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:43.250
a lot of your card-carrying Democrats who are
00:36:43.250 --> 00:36:46.030
out there retweeting this stuff, trying to scare
00:36:46.030 --> 00:36:50.730
people. Obama's one. They're saying that if he
00:36:50.730 --> 00:36:54.210
loses, there would be a reckoning. I'm reading
00:36:54.210 --> 00:36:56.150
this, but it doesn't say what. It's very
00:36:56.150 --> 00:36:59.010
vague, right? Of course it is. And when he wins,
00:36:59.869 --> 00:37:01.650
it'll be a watershed moment, and that reckoning
00:37:01.650 --> 00:37:05.050
will still come. What reckoning? I guess
00:37:05.050 --> 00:37:07.829
that reckoning would be people will be radicalized
00:37:07.829 --> 00:37:11.750
against corporate pro-Israel Democrats. I understand
00:37:11.750 --> 00:37:14.230
that. But they're painting this. That's what
00:37:14.230 --> 00:37:18.809
the Michigan uncommitted thing was in 2024. And
00:37:18.809 --> 00:37:20.809
to me, it makes perfect sense. Listen, I'm about
00:37:20.809 --> 00:37:23.329
to break some brains here. If I lived in Michigan,
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:26.559
I'm a fundamentalist Christian who would vote
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:31.019
for the Muslim dude because I
oppose genocide.
00:37:31.949 --> 00:37:34.510
Now, do I think the guy can actually stand up
00:37:34.510 --> 00:37:36.309
on his own two feet without the help of a walker?
00:37:36.349 --> 00:37:41.019
Probably not. He doesn't have a spine. But the
00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:43.719
fact that you have these influencers on the left
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:46.900
and the right both attacking him. I didn't even
00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:50.539
say conservative. The dude, he's
00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:53.800
a puddle of pudding. He has nothing of
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:58.539
substance. Well, okay. I think we've gone around
00:37:58.539 --> 00:38:01.820
in circles here. We have a lot more to talk about.
00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:04.320
This is all for show, as I'm saying. This is
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:06.500
all for show. Before we move on, it's not
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:10.349
obviously we have to discuss this. What's your
00:38:10.349 --> 00:38:13.489
prediction? Right now it looks like obviously
00:38:13.489 --> 00:38:16.769
the House is a foregone conclusion. The
00:38:16.769 --> 00:38:22.090
polls show that Alaska, probably
00:38:22.090 --> 00:38:25.630
Kansas could go either way. Looks pretty much
00:38:25.630 --> 00:38:29.230
like up in Maine, Susan Collins is going to
00:38:29.230 --> 00:38:32.710
have to find something new to do. It looks
00:38:32.710 --> 00:38:36.110
like it's like there's a, it looks like there's
00:38:36.110 --> 00:38:38.710
a lot of key Senate races are leaning Democratic
00:38:39.389 --> 00:38:42.250
or tied. Nothing is leaning in the Republican
00:38:42.250 --> 00:38:47.269
column in the key Senate swing states. So
00:38:47.269 --> 00:38:48.909
I've been looking much more carefully ever
00:38:48.909 --> 00:38:51.989
since the polling kind of led us astray in the
00:38:51.989 --> 00:38:54.909
Democratic primaries in Michigan. I've
00:38:54.909 --> 00:38:57.829
been looking a lot more at the numbers of undecided
00:38:57.829 --> 00:38:59.650
vote because that's what did us in. We were just
00:38:59.650 --> 00:39:02.030
looking at the margin instead of looking at the
00:39:02.030 --> 00:39:05.070
massive amounts of undecideds in Michigan, but
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:09.420
now there's the usual number of undecideds, three,
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.159
four, five points. I don't know. Looks like it's
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.320
going to be blue wave tomorrow. And it's not
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:19.500
tomorrow. It's already more than half done. Most
00:39:19.500 --> 00:39:22.400
people have already voted. I think it's going
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.559
to be a historic wipeout. I'm staying with my
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.260
original prediction. I think when those
00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:33.610
people go into the ballot box, they are going
00:39:33.610 --> 00:39:35.570
to look at the Democrat. They're going to look
00:39:35.570 --> 00:39:36.750
at the Republican. They may look at other
00:39:36.750 --> 00:39:38.769
people. But ultimately, Donald Trump is going
00:39:38.769 --> 00:39:40.710
to be in a ballot box with each and every person
00:39:40.710 --> 00:39:43.530
who goes into that room. And for Republicans,
00:39:43.809 --> 00:39:46.510
that is to their detriment. It's not like Donald
00:39:46.510 --> 00:39:48.829
Trump backed away. I compare it very similar
00:39:48.829 --> 00:39:51.469
to what took place between Joe Biden and Kamala
00:39:51.469 --> 00:39:53.730
Harris, just kind of on this kind of diffuse
00:39:53.730 --> 00:39:56.269
level. If you remember, Joe Biden tells Kamala
00:39:56.269 --> 00:39:59.050
Harris, you're with me, right, kid? And what
00:39:59.050 --> 00:40:02.769
he meant by that is no changes. You're
00:40:02.769 --> 00:40:04.909
not going to deviate from me. You're going to
00:40:04.909 --> 00:40:08.309
be with me all the way through, even to the point
00:40:08.309 --> 00:40:11.489
it is to your detriment to do so. And for the
00:40:11.489 --> 00:40:13.710
most part, Kamala Harris did exactly that. And
00:40:13.710 --> 00:40:15.869
it was to her detriment to do it. And all of
00:40:15.869 --> 00:40:17.409
these Republicans, when Donald Trump is out here
00:40:17.409 --> 00:40:20.590
doing campaign events, is it to their benefit
00:40:20.590 --> 00:40:22.670
or to their detriment? It's to their detriment.
00:40:22.989 --> 00:40:24.869
And he doesn't seem to care. He doesn't seem
00:40:24.869 --> 00:40:26.829
to back away from it. So, yeah, I think it's
00:40:26.829 --> 00:40:31.230
going to be a historic win for Democrats. Is
00:40:31.230 --> 00:40:32.630
going to be one of the many that they pick up
00:40:32.630 --> 00:40:36.190
in the Senate. I think that's right. We will,
00:40:36.210 --> 00:40:39.369
of course, bring you all the details and all
00:40:39.369 --> 00:40:42.789
the analysis on Wednesday morning. And we should
00:40:42.789 --> 00:40:45.449
know a lot by then, if not everything, really.
00:40:45.730 --> 00:40:47.369
Ted, you're going to be on the Jeff Jornik show
00:40:47.369 --> 00:40:49.150
on his political coverage tomorrow night, aren't
00:40:49.150 --> 00:40:51.570
you? Tomorrow night. Yeah, I am. Yeah. Do you
00:40:51.570 --> 00:40:53.590
have a time slot yet, or you just be popping
00:40:53.590 --> 00:40:56.469
in? Not yet. You know me. I'm not a night owl,
00:40:56.530 --> 00:41:01.690
so I asked for something early. All right.
00:41:01.690 --> 00:41:06.769
Okay, let's move on if that's okay. All right, so
00:41:06.769 --> 00:41:14.610
France, hackers, Iran. By the way, why do they
00:41:14.610 --> 00:41:17.440
think it's French hackers that did that? Oh, well,
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.980
they're not sure, but because
00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:22.260
it was French supermarkets, but that could just
00:41:22.260 --> 00:41:24.940
be a distraction, right? I think it's the
00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:28.500
Iranians. I think the Iranians were like,
00:41:28.500 --> 00:41:30.480
the Iranians were like, it's a false flag thing.
00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:33.119
And also, we'll help out our French brothers.
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.699
Think about it. France has totally been
00:41:35.699 --> 00:41:40.059
on team fuck Iran, right? So
00:41:40.099 --> 00:41:42.059
this is kind of like things are spicy
00:41:42.059 --> 00:41:45.579
in France. We can test out this technology. It's
00:41:45.579 --> 00:41:48.079
a test, right? This is the future of cyber
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.099
warfare. We're going to hack
00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:53.690
into a target's car and make their
00:41:53.690 --> 00:41:56.449
car drive off a cliff. We're going to hack
00:41:56.449 --> 00:41:58.849
into someone's phone and into their smart
00:41:58.849 --> 00:42:00.909
house and make their house burn down while they're
00:42:00.909 --> 00:42:03.809
inside. That's what the future of cyber warfare
00:42:03.809 --> 00:42:07.449
is going to be. And clearly this. So basically
00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:09.630
what would happen, what happened here is that
00:42:09.630 --> 00:42:13.329
refrigerator controls are controlled on the
00:42:13.329 --> 00:42:16.849
end via are accessible online in France and elsewhere,
00:42:16.849 --> 00:42:20.869
and so they cranked up the temperature up to
00:42:20.869 --> 00:42:25.679
122 degrees or more. Everything got spoiled.
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.719
Fires started. So it's a test. And the reason
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.099
I think it's the Iranians is because the same
00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:36.519
exact attacks occurred at U.S. military commissaries,
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:41.079
including at Middle Eastern military bases. So
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:47.130
I have to think it's probably the Iranians. The
00:42:47.130 --> 00:42:49.809
French thing is a distraction. The main event
00:42:49.809 --> 00:42:51.809
is what happened to the military.
00:42:51.969 --> 00:42:53.889
But it's like, hey, let's do two at the same
00:42:53.889 --> 00:42:56.969
time and sort of see how it goes. I'm convinced
00:42:56.969 --> 00:43:01.730
it's a test. So that crossed my mind also.
00:43:01.889 --> 00:43:06.929
It's not that I would put it past the French
00:43:06.929 --> 00:43:10.510
group to do it. No, me neither. What is
00:43:10.510 --> 00:43:13.360
the supermarkets doing to anybody? You
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.539
would think that food preservation would be something
00:43:15.539 --> 00:43:16.920
that everybody in the crowd would necessarily
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:18.800
want. Who the hell is going after supermarkets?
00:43:18.820 --> 00:43:20.719
That just seems very weird to me. It's not that
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.219
it's impossible, of course. Big grocers, yeah.
00:43:24.900 --> 00:43:27.139
Yeah, but I wouldn't necessarily be shocked if,
00:43:27.260 --> 00:43:30.139
keep in mind, it was the Europeans that, when
00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:33.320
the protest was taking place in Iran, where they
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:35.320
were like, oh, look at the protests, ooh la la,
00:43:35.539 --> 00:43:37.900
right? They thought it was perfectly okay for
00:43:37.900 --> 00:43:40.179
the protests in Iran, and they were perfectly
00:43:40.179 --> 00:43:43.010
fine with it. And if I'm not mistaken, there
00:43:43.010 --> 00:43:44.869
were even comments made out of Europe about the
00:43:44.869 --> 00:43:47.369
protests that were taking place in Iran. Oh, how
00:43:47.369 --> 00:43:50.530
things have changed. Yep. Is this too strong to
00:43:50.530 --> 00:43:53.150
call this a European Spring? Have access to somebody
00:43:53.150 --> 00:43:55.250
else. I'm curious on your take. I think we're getting
00:43:55.250 --> 00:43:58.610
close. I think we're very close. It could be
00:43:58.610 --> 00:44:02.269
Germany over the weekend. Yeah, Germany. Albania
00:44:02.269 --> 00:44:07.250
is going bananas. Ongoing in Belgium. Belgium
00:44:07.250 --> 00:44:12.570
yep. These are major European countries. Once
00:44:12.570 --> 00:44:16.750
Luxembourg goes, that's it. It's over. It's just
00:44:16.750 --> 00:44:19.170
wild. But yeah, the hacking thing is wild to
00:44:19.170 --> 00:44:20.929
me. I don't know why supermarkets would be fair
00:44:20.929 --> 00:44:22.809
game. Looks like you would want the preservation
00:44:22.809 --> 00:44:24.550
of food regardless of what takes place in the
00:44:24.550 --> 00:44:26.829
streets. It's one thing if you burn down a government.
00:44:27.690 --> 00:44:30.269
It's only going to cause inflation. Exactly.
00:44:30.530 --> 00:44:33.489
It's only going to make things worse. So if you're
00:44:33.489 --> 00:44:35.050
looking for somebody to hide the contradictions,
00:44:35.190 --> 00:44:38.989
then getting rid of food would be one of the
00:44:38.989 --> 00:44:42.360
ways to do it, right? Right, but yeah, I don't
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.360
know. That's wow. The protests though, as you pointed
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:49.639
out, sustained protests, and again, it never fails.
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:51.480
The moment that a protest gains some level of
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:56.159
momentum, their demands escalate. It becomes, well,
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:59.059
we care about gas, and then it becomes we
00:44:59.059 --> 00:45:02.079
want Macron to get to leave. But it escalates
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:06.559
very fast. And unfortunately, what started
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:09.389
off as students, well, fortunately or unfortunately,
00:45:09.389 --> 00:45:11.210
depending upon the way you look at it, it's now
00:45:11.210 --> 00:45:15.550
moved on to just kind of complete mayhem. It's
00:45:15.550 --> 00:45:17.130
wild to me that the French government doesn't
00:45:17.130 --> 00:45:18.829
have the capability of doing anything about this.
00:45:18.829 --> 00:45:22.340
Well, they definitely have
00:45:22.340 --> 00:45:24.920
they have the CRS police. They have
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.219
the national police. They definitely have
00:45:27.219 --> 00:45:29.360
things that they can and are doing. They
have
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:33.019
70,000 police officers who are normally not
00:45:33.019 --> 00:45:35.239
assigned to these duties currently patrolling
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.500
French streets. All by all accounts, there were
00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:42.860
far fewer, I hesitate to use the word violence,
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.460
but there were far fewer acts of vandalism and
00:45:45.460 --> 00:45:48.860
looting and fires over the weekend than there
00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:51.239
have been in the past. Didn't they set somebody
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:55.199
on fire? Yeah, a cop. Yeah, a cop got set on
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.960
fire by a Molotov cocktail. It's just wild. I
00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:03.940
mean, and again, I find this kind of like a brush
00:46:03.940 --> 00:46:08.090
fire. No pun intended. That oftentimes need to
00:46:08.090 --> 00:46:10.670
burn itself out. But let's be very clear. These
00:46:10.670 --> 00:46:12.960
people aren't doing this for no reason.
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:16.079
Meaning, it's not like the anger is there just
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:19.019
out of the blue. It's not like, wow, these
00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:21.619
people just out of the blue. The mystery is not
00:46:21.619 --> 00:46:25.159
their anger. The mystery is our lack of anger.
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:28.340
Yes, yes. Well, I think we have the anger. It's
00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:32.880
our lack of action that's mysterious. Yeah, it's
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:35.219
just, wow. We have a bunch of comments which
00:46:35.219 --> 00:46:41.000
we should definitely go through. Okay, so if
00:46:41.289 --> 00:46:44.230
you so, thanks for the donation. Donation. Haley
00:46:44.230 --> 00:46:47.070
Stevens will become a motivational speaker living
00:46:47.070 --> 00:46:51.489
down by the river like Chris Farley. If you so.
00:46:51.489 --> 00:46:54.269
Also, how does Zionist American women politicians
00:46:54.269 --> 00:47:00.449
the wall awkward. Paul Green Dennis, thanks
00:47:00.449 --> 00:47:02.690
for the donation. Oh, I see the Wailing Wall.
00:47:02.809 --> 00:47:06.170
If Abdul loses, it will be exactly as Robby
00:47:06.170 --> 00:47:08.989
says, because he's a pussy. Between receiving
00:47:08.989 --> 00:47:11.449
endorsements from AIPAC candidates and skating
00:47:11.449 --> 00:47:14.030
around Cenk's ad instead of doubling down, he
00:47:14.030 --> 00:47:18.599
deserves to lose. Ray, DeProgram Star Trek uniform
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:23.960
show. So I have a Star Trek. Oh, well, I had
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:31.880
a Star Trek uniform. Which one? Oh, this is embarrassing.
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:39.179
I better not be Nurse Chapel. No. So
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:44.219
my ex, she's from a different country,
00:47:44.380 --> 00:47:48.079
Austrian. And for whatever particular reason,
00:47:48.099 --> 00:47:50.199
the racial thing always was interesting to her.
00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:53.019
It was less interesting to me. It was far more
00:47:53.019 --> 00:47:56.119
interesting to her. And she was like, I want
00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:59.400
to replicate Lieutenant Uhura and Captain Kirk
00:48:00.409 --> 00:48:03.789
having their kiss on the show. Because if you
00:48:03.789 --> 00:48:05.829
remember, Captain Kirk was the first white man
00:48:05.829 --> 00:48:08.429
to kiss a black woman on air. On network television,
00:48:08.670 --> 00:48:10.570
yeah. And they forced them to do it, which was
00:48:10.570 --> 00:48:11.909
the funniest thing to wear, right? It was like
00:48:11.909 --> 00:48:13.929
the people used to give out. They were like,
00:48:13.969 --> 00:48:16.590
we don't want this. We don't want this to take
00:48:16.590 --> 00:48:18.130
place. So we need to force it to take place.
00:48:19.429 --> 00:48:22.550
It's a rape kiss. Yeah, right. It's a rape kiss.
00:48:22.670 --> 00:48:24.690
It's a double rape kiss. I want to replicate
00:48:24.690 --> 00:48:26.599
that. I was like, what do you mean? I want to replicate
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:29.440
that. I want you to have your uniform on, and I
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:31.400
have the other uniform on. And so she got herself
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:36.800
the Lieutenant Uhura skirt. Gorgeous. She was
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:40.719
breathtaking in that, and she got me a uniform.
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:43.920
It was a good uniform. She got me the Riker uniform.
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.920
Okay, and my thing was like, okay, these are the
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:50.679
wrong shows. Okay, the shows are mismatched.
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.440
True, true. So that's what I had, the uniform.
00:48:54.849 --> 00:48:58.550
She wanted to play that. Yeah, she was
00:48:58.550 --> 00:49:01.530
cool like that. She was that is. Yeah, yeah.
00:49:01.530 --> 00:49:04.730
It's funny. I had a girlfriend who
00:49:04.730 --> 00:49:09.829
was into role play, and yeah, not normally
00:49:09.829 --> 00:49:14.869
my thing at all, but for
00:49:14.869 --> 00:49:17.250
me it's like I want to know what's in the person's
00:49:17.250 --> 00:49:20.510
head, and I know it's fake, and so it doesn't
00:49:20.829 --> 00:49:23.690
quite click. I always assume that people
00:49:23.690 --> 00:49:26.130
are fantasizing and thinking about other things
00:49:26.130 --> 00:49:29.949
and whatever. You have to assume that. Yeah.
00:49:29.949 --> 00:49:33.250
Okay, for a bad cookie says he's the first
00:49:33.250 --> 00:49:35.469
time he agrees with Ravi over Jamarl. Robby is
00:49:35.469 --> 00:49:40.550
right. AIPAC equals the Democratic Party. See,
00:49:40.579 --> 00:49:43.530
I don't agree with that. I think those
00:49:43.530 --> 00:49:45.849
are separate things. I look, I agree with you that
00:49:45.849 --> 00:49:48.710
they're radically influenced by. I would
00:49:48.710 --> 00:49:50.369
agree with you that the leadership is entirely
00:49:50.369 --> 00:49:54.840
paid by. But in 10 years or 15 years, that might
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:57.699
not be true.
Meaning the fact that the distinction
00:49:57.699 --> 00:50:00.239
exists means that at some point one could unmoor
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.260
itself from the other. It doesn't necessarily
00:50:02.260 --> 00:50:04.199
mean that that's not true now, that there's a
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:05.760
huge amount of influence, but they're not the
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:07.880
same organization as a flat fact. They're not
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:13.219
the same thing. No, they're not. Fuso asks, will
00:50:13.219 --> 00:50:15.719
my future AI sex robot girlfriend get hacked
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.809
and take me out? That really could happen. She
00:50:19.809 --> 00:50:22.980
might. And by the way, brain chips. That's the
00:50:22.980 --> 00:50:26.079
other thing I thought of. They're talking
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:30.159
about hacking refrigerators and cars and airplanes.
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:33.980
What happens to people getting brain chips? This
00:50:33.980 --> 00:50:35.900
is why I'm always dodgy about this stuff when
00:50:35.900 --> 00:50:37.400
this stuff comes up. It's like, we're going to
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.639
put a chip in our brain. And it's like, okay.
00:50:40.610 --> 00:50:43.460
Good luck. Yeah, well, it's like this
00:50:43.460 --> 00:50:46.380
all reminds me of the Stuxnet virus, right? Like
00:50:46.380 --> 00:50:49.400
when the Israelis and the Americans put this,
00:50:49.460 --> 00:50:53.739
they hacked into the Iranian nuclear power program
00:50:53.739 --> 00:50:57.039
and they put in the Stuxnet virus that caused
00:50:57.039 --> 00:50:59.519
all their centrifuges that are very, very expensive
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:03.079
to go too fast and burn out, right? And it was
00:51:03.079 --> 00:51:05.500
a huge setback for the Iranians. And I was like,
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:09.500
okay, so you're Iran. You know that you've got
00:51:09.500 --> 00:51:12.400
Israel and the U.S. crawling up your asshole,
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:16.539
and you really think it's a good idea to tell
00:51:16.539 --> 00:51:20.199
your nuclear scientists, your nuclear scientists,
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.639
hey, you guys, you don't have to come into the
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:25.599
office every day. You can just work from home.
00:51:27.340 --> 00:51:33.760
Really? That story was astonishing because
00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:37.940
when it got out, they told Obama, and Obama's
00:51:37.940 --> 00:51:39.880
thing was like, all right, we'll let it ride.
00:51:40.179 --> 00:51:42.969
We just have to deal, like, because there was nothing
00:51:42.969 --> 00:51:44.449
you could do at that point. It had gotten to the
00:51:44.449 --> 00:51:46.150
wild. You had all of these people who were looking
00:51:46.150 --> 00:51:48.150
at it, these computer scientists, like, wow, this
00:51:48.150 --> 00:51:50.110
thing is fascinating. Look at what it's doing.
00:51:50.110 --> 00:51:52.489
And then of course it would commit suicide at
00:51:52.489 --> 00:51:55.889
a certain point to leave no trace. It's like the
00:51:55.889 --> 00:51:57.849
David Chappelle thing was like, sprinkle some crack
00:51:57.849 --> 00:52:00.769
on him and let's get out of here. It's like why
00:52:00.769 --> 00:52:02.510
all these people just got cracks sprinkled on
00:52:02.510 --> 00:52:05.329
them and committing suicide. Well, the
00:52:05.329 --> 00:52:08.210
virus committed suicide. It was an astonishing
00:52:08.210 --> 00:52:11.059
piece of technology. Dead Mean Club brings up
00:52:11.059 --> 00:52:13.099
an interesting question, and thanks for the $10.
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.519
Do y'all think that they shot the plane down
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:19.500
over Mar-a-Lago, or just merely pilot incompetence?
00:52:19.500 --> 00:52:24.940
The Learjet that went down. Pardon? My assumption
00:52:24.940 --> 00:52:28.280
is incompetence. I'm assuming incompetence. I
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:31.039
wonder if it could have been, maybe like it's near Mar-a-Lago, which is restricted
00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:37.980
airspace, and the plane was subjected to some
00:52:37.980 --> 00:52:40.829
sort of electronic glitch. You know what I
00:52:40.829 --> 00:52:42.690
mean? It's like there's some kind of defense
00:52:42.690 --> 00:52:45.630
system that accidentally caused this to happen.
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:48.780
I don't know. Honest to God, I just assume
00:52:48.780 --> 00:52:52.599
incompetence. I have seen those little planes
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:56.199
fall out of the sky all the time, right? Well,
00:52:56.199 --> 00:52:58.639
they do. True. But every so often there are mistakes.
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:00.780
Even military airplanes have mistakes.
00:53:00.980 --> 00:53:04.039
Would a pilot screw up and crash? There's still
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.800
the TWA Flight 800 thing. Who knows what happened
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:13.309
there? Yeah. I've seen pilots take selfies
00:53:13.309 --> 00:53:17.670
and like YouTubers, pilots who've crashed just
00:53:17.670 --> 00:53:20.110
out of sheer incompetence. I've seen pilots who
00:53:20.110 --> 00:53:22.010
weren't necessarily trained well, pilots who
00:53:22.010 --> 00:53:24.630
were sleepy, pilots who flew into mountains.
00:53:24.889 --> 00:53:27.570
It happens. Totally. Yeah, no, it's true.
00:53:27.630 --> 00:53:30.769
It's human beings, right? So the Tupolev 154
00:53:30.769 --> 00:53:35.050
is like the workhorse Soviet plane, and there's
00:53:35.050 --> 00:53:38.719
still a bunch of them up in the air. And there
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:43.480
was an incident years ago, maybe 25 years or
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:46.340
something like that, where a Tupolev, and I was
00:53:46.340 --> 00:53:48.980
really surprised because one had never crashed
00:53:48.980 --> 00:53:52.139
due to mechanical failure. And because there's
00:53:52.139 --> 00:53:55.559
just like, there's sturdy Soviet ugly
00:53:55.559 --> 00:54:00.449
planes that just always work great. And it crashed
00:54:00.449 --> 00:54:06.230
in Siberia. It later came to light that the drunken
00:54:06.230 --> 00:54:09.960
pilot was allowing his young boy, who was like
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.760
11 years old, to fly the plane. Are you serious?
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:18.940
It was a passenger plane. Are you serious? And
00:54:18.940 --> 00:54:23.059
it crashed. It crashed. That's outrageous. Fucking
00:54:23.059 --> 00:54:26.739
idiot. That's insane. Why would you do
00:54:26.739 --> 00:54:30.159
that? Even if you get that... Come here,
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:34.019
little Boris. You will have fun. You fly plane
00:54:34.019 --> 00:54:40.320
today for daddy. Daddy gets vodka today. People
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:44.190
mistaking familiarity with knowingness. Remember
00:54:44.190 --> 00:54:46.630
there was the father and daughter, much smaller
00:54:46.630 --> 00:54:48.510
plane, right? The father and daughter who in
00:54:48.510 --> 00:54:51.809
Colorado, I think it was. She was supposedly
00:54:51.809 --> 00:54:54.710
flying the plane. She was really young. She was
00:54:54.710 --> 00:54:58.769
like 14. And she crashed and killed
00:54:58.769 --> 00:55:00.849
them both. Usually they have a co-pilot.
00:55:01.070 --> 00:55:03.030
Even if you do that. Well, the father was the
00:55:03.030 --> 00:55:08.840
co-pilot. How did he? Wow. Yeah. It's
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:12.739
like, just not do that. Mama, don't let your,
00:55:12.739 --> 00:55:16.179
don't let your sons be cowboys. Fathers, don't
00:55:16.179 --> 00:55:21.199
let your daughters fly planes. Not until they're
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:30.719
18 anyway. So, okay. So let's see. Ryan Newton
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:32.820
says, hacking brain chips is part of the plot
00:55:32.820 --> 00:55:35.780
of Ghost in the Shell. The hacker was an AI that
00:55:35.780 --> 00:55:38.519
had achieved consciousness and was implanting
00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:41.380
false memories in people. Yes. I have not seen
00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:44.199
that. I'm saying that if it's software, it could
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.690
be hacked. Yeah. Period. Look, it's one
00:55:47.690 --> 00:55:49.769
thing if we lived in a world where companies
00:55:49.769 --> 00:55:54.389
didn't have a fiscal interest that is against
00:55:54.389 --> 00:55:57.340
human interest at times. Meaning a farmer
00:55:57.340 --> 00:56:00.659
who's making food is for human interests, but
00:56:00.659 --> 00:56:02.559
companies are not necessarily always doing things
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:04.840
that are in our best interest, especially if
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:06.780
there's a profit motive built into it. I don't
00:56:06.780 --> 00:56:08.519
trust the profit motive, which is my issue with
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:11.159
it. And if there's a reason or if there's something
00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:14.679
that could be hacked in your head, God, man,
00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:17.599
what could that be? Imagine the
00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:19.440
moment that that thing is connected to your brain
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:21.739
in a way that either you can retrieve information
00:56:21.739 --> 00:56:25.159
or give information for it to hold. Then your
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:27.599
brain is fair game. I can make you think of anything.
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.539
You can, alien abductions in a particular
00:56:31.539 --> 00:56:33.900
area because people have hacked it and they make
00:56:33.900 --> 00:56:35.380
them think that there's a ship or something.
00:56:35.619 --> 00:56:38.420
Or even sensations. The idea that you're feeling
00:56:38.420 --> 00:56:40.099
something. Think of people who have schizophrenia.
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.500
I was watching this YouTube thing. Don't ask
00:56:42.500 --> 00:56:44.380
me why I was watching this. I was fascinated
00:56:44.380 --> 00:56:46.500
by it. And my first thought was, okay, is
00:56:46.500 --> 00:56:49.300
this woman faking? Where she was like, I have
00:56:49.300 --> 00:56:51.119
schizophrenia and I'm having a psychotic episode
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:53.619
and I just want to film it. And I thought, really?
00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.070
You want to film that? And so I was like, okay,
00:56:56.110 --> 00:56:58.250
well, is this real? And her thing was like, I'm
00:56:58.250 --> 00:56:59.630
feeling things. She was like, I think there are
00:56:59.630 --> 00:57:02.210
ghosts in the room. I know this is not real,
00:57:02.389 --> 00:57:04.610
but I still feel them around me. I feel them
00:57:04.610 --> 00:57:07.730
touching me, et cetera, et cetera. Anything that
00:57:07.730 --> 00:57:10.329
you can experience in physical matter reality,
00:57:10.590 --> 00:57:13.250
you can experience just through hallucinations.
00:57:13.349 --> 00:57:15.690
It's all just electrical impulses. And if you
00:57:15.690 --> 00:57:17.530
can spoof those impulses, you can make people
00:57:17.530 --> 00:57:22.000
think of anything. That's terrifying to me. That's
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.760
terrifying to me. And it's like, Elon Musk is
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:28.260
like, yeah, let's just have brain chips. Okay.
00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:31.929
Yeah. I don't, I would not be here for that.
00:57:32.949 --> 00:57:34.969
Well, if you were going to die otherwise,
00:57:35.409 --> 00:57:38.670
why not? I would not be here for that.
00:57:38.690 --> 00:57:41.150
Because what's, but if you lose
00:57:41.150 --> 00:57:43.510
autonomy, for one, I have to trust that
00:57:43.510 --> 00:57:46.329
the thing that you're putting in my head is only
00:57:46.329 --> 00:57:48.090
up and up. I have to trust that product. I have
00:57:48.090 --> 00:57:49.849
to trust that the product can't necessarily be
00:57:49.849 --> 00:57:52.230
spoofed. It's your brain. It's the thing that you
00:57:52.230 --> 00:57:56.969
use in order to kind of appraise reality. I
00:57:56.969 --> 00:58:01.099
that might be the final frontier from my point
00:58:01.099 --> 00:58:03.860
of view. That's not unless, again,
unless
00:58:03.860 --> 00:58:06.059
you're going to die. If you're going to die anyway,
00:58:06.059 --> 00:58:10.469
then even then, Ted, I don't know, man. That's yeah.
00:58:10.829 --> 00:58:15.969
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Fuso
00:58:15.969 --> 00:58:19.400
says we will become Borg. Resistance is futile.
00:58:19.619 --> 00:58:24.980
By the way, inhibition or lowering your ability
00:58:24.980 --> 00:58:27.480
to resist, meaning if there's a technological
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:31.900
thing of making you more docile, that stuff freaks
00:58:31.900 --> 00:58:34.219
me out. It's one thing in a different world.
00:58:34.650 --> 00:58:37.469
I can accept that. In our world, I have a hard
00:58:37.469 --> 00:58:40.760
time accepting it. Every single person dies.
00:58:41.380 --> 00:58:43.340
It's always been that way. It will always be
00:58:43.340 --> 00:58:44.880
that way. That's the natural order of things.
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:47.500
From dust you came, to dust you will return. And
00:58:47.500 --> 00:58:50.400
the idea you're going to give some corporate
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:54.550
oligarch the ability to screw with your brain
00:58:54.550 --> 00:58:58.369
in the most intimate physical way possible is
00:58:58.369 --> 00:59:02.110
absolutely horrifying. The ancient Egyptians
00:59:02.110 --> 00:59:04.630
did brain surgery. It's not that new.
00:59:05.099 --> 00:59:06.760
Well, I understand that, but they weren't putting
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:12.960
microchips in people's brains. This is the logical
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:16.059
culmination of that, though. No, all of it is the
00:59:16.059 --> 00:59:18.320
logical combination. I think drones is a logical
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:20.659
combination, robots logical combination. I think
00:59:20.659 --> 00:59:24.599
also on some level, but again, that's I can accept
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.760
that in a different world. I think my issue also
00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:30.480
is it's a profit-driven enterprise. Ted, I'm
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:34.559
a good friend of yours, right? Yes. Would you sign
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.059
a piece of paper giving me complete control over
00:59:37.059 --> 00:59:39.460
your mind, your memories, every experience you've
00:59:39.460 --> 00:59:42.579
ever had. I have complete unfettered access to
00:59:42.579 --> 00:59:44.699
your brain. And by the way, they don't do that.
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:46.360
That's what they do with social media, by the
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:48.639
way. Sure. Yeah. But seriously, serious question.
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.300
I'm your friend. Robby, you have access to my
00:59:52.300 --> 00:59:55.579
social media. You could put all sorts of gross
00:59:55.579 --> 00:59:58.239
anti-Semitic shit up there. But that's not your
00:59:58.239 --> 00:59:59.420
brain. There's nothing I can do about it, right?
00:59:59.539 --> 01:00:01.960
But that's not your brain. Think about what I
01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:05.369
just said. Would you give me full unfettered
01:00:05.369 --> 01:00:09.630
access to the very thing that makes you you, your
01:00:09.630 --> 01:00:13.269
mind, every memory, every experience, every regret?
01:00:13.269 --> 01:00:16.909
I keep saying if it was that or death, yes. If
01:00:16.909 --> 01:00:19.329
it was like you were, if I was told
01:00:19.329 --> 01:00:22.429
you were, Ted, you were going to be dead as a doornail
01:00:22.429 --> 01:00:25.829
by tomorrow morning at six in the morning, no
01:00:25.829 --> 01:00:28.869
show for you unless you sign everything over
01:00:28.869 --> 01:00:32.079
to Robby and let him have his way with your
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:36.269
brain. I'd be like, give me that pen. That's
01:00:36.269 --> 01:00:39.929
a power I would never want. How about this? You
01:00:39.929 --> 01:00:41.690
become a Christian, and I'll just join you up
01:00:41.690 --> 01:00:44.309
in heaven one day. But that's what I was going
01:00:44.309 --> 01:00:46.030
to say, right? He'd be going to church every
01:00:46.030 --> 01:00:51.369
Sunday. Robby, if you could prove to me that
01:00:51.369 --> 01:00:53.469
there is a heaven and that I would be in it as
01:00:53.469 --> 01:00:59.070
a result of converting, I would. I can't prove
01:00:59.070 --> 01:01:02.010
it. That's the point. Well, that's my point,
01:01:02.030 --> 01:01:05.989
why you're still working on it. Yeah. Well,
01:01:05.989 --> 01:01:07.449
you'd be going to church every Sunday with
01:01:07.449 --> 01:01:15.889
a brain chip. The more terrifying part
01:01:15.889 --> 01:01:22.190
about this equation is that that's a power I
01:01:22.190 --> 01:01:25.429
would never want because I would be too scared
01:01:25.429 --> 01:01:28.590
about what I could do with it. I wouldn't want
01:01:28.590 --> 01:01:31.719
that either. The fact that there are people who
01:01:31.750 --> 01:01:34.989
want that power to be able to access people's
01:01:34.989 --> 01:01:37.349
minds. That's a valid point. Those are the people
01:01:37.349 --> 01:01:39.309
that you would never want to have that power,
01:01:39.449 --> 01:01:42.650
ever. It's like I say about prison guards. Anyone
01:01:42.650 --> 01:01:44.730
who wants the job of being a correction officer
01:01:44.730 --> 01:01:48.309
should not be allowed to have the job. Only people
01:01:48.309 --> 01:01:50.489
who don't want the job and have to be drafted
01:01:50.489 --> 01:01:53.289
into doing it should be allowed to. By the way,
01:01:53.309 --> 01:01:55.130
at some point, they will be able to cut you off.
01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:59.119
Meaning Ted Rall is committing a crime.
01:01:59.570 --> 01:02:01.590
We need to get a warrant to cut Ted Rall off.
01:02:01.889 --> 01:02:04.909
Ted Rall is unconscious. I don't want that shit.
01:02:05.150 --> 01:02:07.329
And I won't tell you. It will escalate to that.
01:02:07.369 --> 01:02:09.369
Look at what they do with cars. Or what they
01:02:09.369 --> 01:02:12.570
do is that they make Ted
Rall commit the crime.
01:02:12.789 --> 01:02:15.429
And then you say, look what he just did. Yeah,
01:02:15.449 --> 01:02:18.130
that too. Well, I think more than anything else,
01:02:18.130 --> 01:02:21.969
Ted Rall would be docile. And I don't know why
01:02:21.969 --> 01:02:23.710
we were using Ted Rall for this, but it's just
01:02:23.710 --> 01:02:27.449
an example case, right? It's like, I just don't
01:02:27.449 --> 01:02:31.050
trust the technology. There would be rules,
01:02:31.250 --> 01:02:35.030
regulations, laws will come into place.
01:02:35.050 --> 01:02:37.469
Think of the way they do technology now. At what
01:02:37.469 --> 01:02:40.329
point did they ask Ted Rall if he was okay with
01:02:40.329 --> 01:02:42.369
some of the shit that they do technologically?
01:02:42.769 --> 01:02:46.420
I'll give you a perfect example. SpaceX.
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:48.380
They're putting all little satellites
01:02:48.380 --> 01:02:51.539
in orbit. Many of those satellites fall out of
01:02:51.539 --> 01:02:54.000
orbit. And so many of them have been falling
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:56.539
out of orbit that they've been putting the metallic
01:02:56.539 --> 01:02:58.780
chemicals that are in them in order to make them
01:02:58.780 --> 01:03:02.079
into the atmosphere, which would ultimately destroy
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:05.139
or at the very least may have negative consequences
01:03:05.139 --> 01:03:07.739
for the ozone layer. Okay, nobody asked anybody
01:03:07.739 --> 01:03:10.659
for that. They just did it. And that's an experiment
01:03:10.659 --> 01:03:12.139
that's taking place all over the world. Russia
01:03:12.139 --> 01:03:13.860
is putting up their satellites. China is putting
01:03:13.860 --> 01:03:15.440
up their satellites. I would imagine the same
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:17.139
thing is going to be true for them falling back
01:03:17.139 --> 01:03:20.780
down. Does Elon Musk give a shit? No. No. Is there
01:03:20.780 --> 01:03:23.500
laws that say, hey, you need to not? It used to
01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:25.559
not matter because space was a big enough, but
01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:27.900
even orbital space around the Earth was
01:03:27.900 --> 01:03:29.760
a big enough place, but that's not true
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:32.059
anymore, right? But the laws haven't caught up
01:03:32.059 --> 01:03:34.760
with that reality. And then it's like, what does
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:38.280
it mean to have satellites? How far up
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:41.510
does your society go? Meaning if you have a satellite
01:03:41.510 --> 01:03:43.510
from Russia that's going overhead from America,
01:03:43.510 --> 01:03:46.579
okay, at which point is America in space? Like
01:03:46.579 --> 01:03:48.820
all of these things. But have laws caught up with
01:03:48.820 --> 01:03:51.739
it? No. Are they still plowing forward with the
01:03:51.739 --> 01:03:54.820
technology? Yes. And if you had the brain chip,
01:03:54.860 --> 01:03:56.300
I suspect something similar is going to happen.
01:03:56.460 --> 01:03:58.980
Yeah, you may have a medical thing that says,
01:03:59.139 --> 01:04:01.940
OK, this is a metal that is appropriate for it.
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:03.539
This is perfectly fine and everything else. But
01:04:03.539 --> 01:04:05.719
it would ultimately just be an experiment on
01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:08.599
the population built out of capitalistic impulse.
01:04:09.179 --> 01:04:11.380
Not because it's safe, not because it's good
01:04:11.380 --> 01:04:12.639
for you, not because of any of those things.
01:04:13.050 --> 01:04:15.550
Capitalistic incentive of profit. I don't trust
01:04:15.550 --> 01:04:21.269
that profit motive. I just don't. Yeah, I hear you.
01:04:21.269 --> 01:04:26.230
I hear you. Tulio, who benefits with the
01:04:26.230 --> 01:04:28.469
hacking? I blame Israel until there's some real
01:04:28.469 --> 01:04:32.409
proof. So this would be the, I don't know, with
01:04:32.409 --> 01:04:33.989
the French, I don't know why the Israelis would
01:04:33.989 --> 01:04:37.429
do that. Same with the crypto hack, more likely
01:04:37.429 --> 01:04:40.869
internal. Just point blame at one of our media's
01:04:40.869 --> 01:04:43.690
favorite boogeymen. Yeah, the crypto hack interestingly
01:04:43.690 --> 01:04:47.389
by the way, about 6.4 billion dollars hacked
01:04:47.389 --> 01:04:51.730
from Binance. However, they were able to freeze
01:04:51.730 --> 01:04:56.610
about 40 percent of it, which it brings so many
01:04:56.610 --> 01:04:58.849
questions. And in fact, just like what we speculated
01:04:58.849 --> 01:05:02.369
last week, it turns out that finance
01:05:02.369 --> 01:05:05.510
they did use the blockchain to trace where
01:05:05.510 --> 01:05:07.690
they think the money went, and that's how they
01:05:07.690 --> 01:05:11.110
were able to freeze it. So whatever crypto,
01:05:11.110 --> 01:05:13.989
if crypto is real money or not money is that's
01:05:13.989 --> 01:05:17.070
obviously a topic. It's a different topic,
01:05:17.070 --> 01:05:21.530
but what crypto clearly is not is anonymous
01:05:21.530 --> 01:05:25.369
and this thing that's outside of the clutches
01:05:25.369 --> 01:05:30.110
of government. That it is not true. Yeah, so
01:05:30.110 --> 01:05:34.619
what happened to the other 60? Well, it's either
01:05:34.619 --> 01:05:39.179
with the DPRK or whoever. According to corporate
01:05:39.179 --> 01:05:41.559
media, so you have to take this with a huge
01:05:41.619 --> 01:05:45.360
salt lick of salt. They
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:51.559
claim that the DPRK is now prioritizing fundraising
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:55.960
through hacking and that up to 50% of their
01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:58.860
entire defense budget now comes from these kinds
01:05:58.860 --> 01:06:03.280
of activities. Who knows? Who knows
01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:05.480
for real? The thing is, they lie so much
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:08.980
about the North Koreans and other U.S.
adversaries
01:06:08.980 --> 01:06:12.480
that you can't, who knows? But I do
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:14.039
want to bring this up. This is important. We've
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:16.780
had enough. Hey, Ted, the Stuxnet virus wasn't
01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:19.400
planted via the Internet. Believe it was USB
01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:22.159
thumb drives. Okay, so that would make more sense.
01:06:22.340 --> 01:06:26.260
And that's like, which means the data was, that
01:06:26.260 --> 01:06:29.219
means they had spies. Yeah, they had spies. They
01:06:29.219 --> 01:06:31.159
had a spook somehow, but they had it on thumb
01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:32.960
drive. They put it onto the computer. Once it
01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:35.360
got to the computer, it ended up in the centrifuges
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:37.260
and it would spin them up to the point where
01:06:37.260 --> 01:06:39.840
it made them basically fail while giving false
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:41.719
readings to the people who are looking at it.
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:44.119
Somehow it jumped on a computer and jumped on
01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.179
the internet, which is how everybody found it.
01:06:46.219 --> 01:06:49.519
Because otherwise we would never even know. So
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:51.139
it went, yeah, kind of the other way around.
01:06:51.219 --> 01:06:56.199
Kind of fascinating. All right. So, all right.
01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:59.489
Do we want to talk about Iran? Or do we want
01:06:59.489 --> 01:07:01.369
to talk about Trump being senile? Let's talk
01:07:01.369 --> 01:07:03.929
about Iran. I didn't realize, did you say that
01:07:03.929 --> 01:07:06.750
Iran launched missiles over the weekend? They
01:07:06.750 --> 01:07:10.710
did. They launched major drone strikes. So, yeah,
01:07:10.869 --> 01:07:13.050
there were, let me make sure I get the details
01:07:13.050 --> 01:07:17.090
right, over 115 drone and missile strikes against
01:07:17.090 --> 01:07:20.360
over two dozen American bases. They destroyed,
01:07:20.659 --> 01:07:23.059
first they went after the early warning radars
01:07:23.059 --> 01:07:26.500
and air defenses, and then they hit the hangars,
01:07:26.500 --> 01:07:29.900
warehouses, and troop housing. And this attack,
01:07:30.099 --> 01:07:33.139
this coordinated attack, is estimated by the
01:07:33.139 --> 01:07:36.199
AP to have caused billions of dollars in equipment
01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:39.860
damage just over the weekend. That's not counting
01:07:39.860 --> 01:07:42.699
all the American shit that got blown up and burned
01:07:42.699 --> 01:07:45.199
up and destroyed and bombed and droned by the
01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:48.110
Iranians previously. Wow. Yeah. I didn't see
01:07:48.110 --> 01:07:50.010
that they had launched that attack. Maybe I just
01:07:50.010 --> 01:07:57.369
missed it. Jesus. That is a new doctrine. That's
01:07:57.369 --> 01:07:59.590
a new doctrine. Iran usually waits for
01:07:59.590 --> 01:08:02.670
attacks. In this case, they are being proactive.
01:08:02.989 --> 01:08:04.869
And good for them. They learned the lessons.
01:08:05.250 --> 01:08:07.909
And this time, the Ayatollah Khamenei, right,
01:08:07.989 --> 01:08:12.909
he said, Khamenei Jr., right, the son. Mojtaba.
01:08:15.460 --> 01:08:18.060
Yeah, Mojtaba. Is it Mojtaba or Moshtaba? I know
01:08:18.060 --> 01:08:20.180
there's a J-O-M-T-A-B-A. I always mispronounce
01:08:20.180 --> 01:08:23.460
the name. Yeah, but yeah. Me too. He's
01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:27.220
seemingly a different element than his dad. Yeah.
01:08:27.260 --> 01:08:29.560
He's not waiting for the attack. Usually,
01:08:29.699 --> 01:08:32.619
Iran just sits there and waits. And
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:34.439
it's frustrating because the first thought is
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:39.270
they're taking your restraint for weakness.
01:08:40.369 --> 01:08:42.710
Meaning they're taking your discipline of not
01:08:42.710 --> 01:08:44.569
wanting to initiate attack, wanting the war to
01:08:44.569 --> 01:08:46.130
be over with, not wanting to fight the war in
01:08:46.130 --> 01:08:47.930
the very first place. They're taking that as
01:08:47.930 --> 01:08:51.470
weakness. And it seems that Iran, if this attack
01:08:51.470 --> 01:08:52.789
was launched over the weekend, they're looking
01:08:52.789 --> 01:08:56.770
at it as, well, why are we waiting when the Americans
01:08:56.770 --> 01:08:59.109
are obviously lining up for an attack? You're
01:08:59.109 --> 01:09:00.689
lining up to hit me. Why am I going to wait?
01:09:02.569 --> 01:09:07.310
Good for them. And by the way, same thing with
01:09:07.310 --> 01:09:10.050
the Russians. This idea of we don't want to fight.
01:09:10.390 --> 01:09:13.029
That is admirable. That's admirable, and it makes
01:09:13.029 --> 01:09:15.409
sense in a world where your opposition is running
01:09:15.409 --> 01:09:17.670
by the same rule set and also don't want to fight
01:09:17.670 --> 01:09:19.590
a war. But when you're dealing with monsters,
01:09:19.750 --> 01:09:22.189
and those monsters are talking about destroying
01:09:22.189 --> 01:09:25.270
90 million people and taking out your bridges
01:09:25.270 --> 01:09:28.710
and your rail and your society and murdering
01:09:28.710 --> 01:09:32.100
more people. Destroying your entire civilization.
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:35.220
Yeah, then you're perfectly in line to respond.
01:09:35.539 --> 01:09:37.479
Over the weekend, I don't know if you saw this,
01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:40.869
Tucker broke it. There's conversations going
01:09:40.869 --> 01:09:43.569
in the White House about Trump after the midterms
01:09:43.569 --> 01:09:47.289
using small tactical nukes to vaporize Pickaxe
01:09:47.289 --> 01:09:50.689
Mountain. Yeah, if that's the case, then that
01:09:50.689 --> 01:09:52.510
would explain why the Iranians hit first.
01:09:52.510 --> 01:09:56.149
It's just like we have a Samson option too.
01:09:56.149 --> 01:10:00.670
We'll all die together. Yes, yeah. And
again, I keep
01:10:00.670 --> 01:10:05.029
saying if the U.S. does this, the consequences
01:10:05.029 --> 01:10:08.289
would be monstrous. Yeah, that's what Khamenei
01:10:08.289 --> 01:10:12.449
is saying. This is not for public consumption.
01:10:12.770 --> 01:10:15.470
It's not a tweet. This is just simply
01:10:15.470 --> 01:10:21.750
he gave the order. I want you to go to DEFCON
01:10:21.750 --> 01:10:25.689
4 if the Americans or the Israelis go after us
01:10:25.689 --> 01:10:29.329
again. Unrestricted response. I thought the interesting
01:10:29.329 --> 01:10:33.310
point to me was geographically unrestricted.
01:10:33.329 --> 01:10:36.779
In other words, we are willing... We will attack
01:10:36.779 --> 01:10:39.500
targets we have not previously attacked. Now,
01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:42.279
that to me raises at least two important questions.
01:10:43.340 --> 01:10:46.380
Obviously, where? And is it possible that they
01:10:46.380 --> 01:10:48.880
have the ability to reach out and touch someone
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:52.859
further away than we think? Well, they said they
01:10:52.859 --> 01:10:54.880
were modernizing the missiles that go longer
01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.119
than the 1,000 kilometers. Because for all of
01:10:58.119 --> 01:11:02.359
Trump's provocative or bellicosity, the U.S.
01:11:02.399 --> 01:11:04.920
fleet has moved back further because they're
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:06.460
concerned about getting hit with Iranian missiles.
01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:09.840
And so there was talk about Iran extending
01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:11.760
the range of their missiles in order to hit U.S.
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:14.659
ships further out. And again, they made the
01:11:14.659 --> 01:11:18.579
point of saying, look, this idea of U.S. restraint,
01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:21.800
it's over with. This is done. We're not doing
01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.000
that anymore. That didn't help us. That didn't
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:27.779
work for us. And if anything, it made our enemies
01:11:27.779 --> 01:11:30.100
that much more aggressive in coming after us.
01:11:30.220 --> 01:11:33.520
Basically, it was seen as weakness. So, no. Being
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.380
more aggressive. And good for them for doing
01:11:35.380 --> 01:11:39.920
so. They definitely need to. Yeah, they need
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:43.760
to. It's overdue. No more Mr.
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:48.079
Nice Guy, right? Yeah. Speaking of which, that's
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:50.079
the name of my new book, No More Mr. Nice Guy.
01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:53.899
It's a cartoon collection. Yeah, it comes out
01:11:53.899 --> 01:11:56.159
November 11th. It's just in time for Veterans
01:11:56.159 --> 01:12:02.279
Day. It's just cartoons about imperialism, militarism,
01:12:02.340 --> 01:12:07.670
war, all that American exceptionalism, all that
01:12:07.670 --> 01:12:11.310
nonsense. Oh, that's very cool. Very cool. I
01:12:11.310 --> 01:12:14.390
don't know if you know who John Helmer is. Oh,
01:12:14.390 --> 01:12:16.949
let me, let me, let me, I have someone at the
01:12:16.949 --> 01:12:19.449
door. Can Robby, can you step in and talk? Well,
01:12:19.489 --> 01:12:22.750
for five minutes. All right. Thank you. You know
01:12:22.750 --> 01:12:25.590
who John Helmer is, Robby? I do not. Educate
01:12:25.590 --> 01:12:29.329
me. Okay. So John Helmer is, he does Dances with
01:12:29.329 --> 01:12:33.130
Bears. It's a media organization that covers
01:12:33.130 --> 01:12:35.789
Russian politics. Basically, John Helmer used
01:12:35.789 --> 01:12:37.489
to be in Russia. He used to cover Russian politics.
01:12:37.630 --> 01:12:39.270
He's a reporter. He's been doing this for
01:12:39.270 --> 01:12:42.229
30, 40 years. The guy's awesome. John Helmer
01:12:42.229 --> 01:12:45.750
has a new book out and his book is on podcasting.
01:12:45.869 --> 01:12:49.609
Yeah. Where's Truly is in that book. So there's
01:12:49.609 --> 01:12:54.609
that. But I read a few chapters in that book.
01:12:54.630 --> 01:12:56.890
He's sending me a copy of that book and he goes
01:12:56.890 --> 01:13:01.039
after a lot of the podcasts like John Nap,
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:05.939
Judge Nap. He goes after, oh, I saw him go after
01:13:05.939 --> 01:13:09.100
Nap and I saw him go after McGregor and it's
01:13:09.100 --> 01:13:12.279
like as you're reading it, you're like, he is fearless.
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:16.899
He is so brutal. So why is it going
01:13:16.899 --> 01:13:20.149
after Napolitano just out of curiosity? Because
01:13:20.149 --> 01:13:23.369
his argument is basically that podcasters
01:13:23.369 --> 01:13:28.430
are incentivized to whatever their original intention
01:13:29.149 --> 01:13:31.609
that inevitably they're incentivized to do propaganda.
01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:36.439
And he based the argument basically on, look,
01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:38.279
if you're just doing news, if you're just
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:40.680
doing straight news, you're not going to get
01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:44.039
the views. And it means it pushes you to be more
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:46.180
provocative in the things that you say, more
01:13:46.180 --> 01:13:48.840
provocative in the things that you come up with
01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:51.329
in their titles. And even the people who you
01:13:51.329 --> 01:13:52.949
bring on to the show, the things that they say,
01:13:52.970 --> 01:13:54.550
they have a constant refrain, almost like they're
01:13:54.550 --> 01:13:56.369
cheerleaders going down a particular pathway.
01:13:56.789 --> 01:13:58.869
And so he's using it kind of like saying from
01:13:58.869 --> 01:14:01.050
the very beginning to now, there's been the same
01:14:01.050 --> 01:14:03.409
refrain regarding the war and how the war was
01:14:03.409 --> 01:14:05.250
going to be over with in a short period of time.
01:14:05.310 --> 01:14:06.430
It's like, okay, well, you've been saying it
01:14:06.430 --> 01:14:09.210
for four years. Nobody seems
to notice that the
01:14:09.210 --> 01:14:10.529
people who've been saying it for four years are
01:14:10.529 --> 01:14:12.329
making it wrong. It's the Scott Ritter argument.
01:14:12.850 --> 01:14:14.750
Yeah, it's the Scott Ritter argument. And that's
01:14:14.750 --> 01:14:18.960
the point that John is making. He was like, they
01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:22.260
found that this was a right vein to tap and so
01:14:22.260 --> 01:14:24.119
they tapped the vein and they just got going
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:25.880
after it and the audience for the most part just
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:31.199
went along with it. And McGregor is
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:33.199
a little bit different but he still gets that
01:14:33.199 --> 01:14:36.260
brutal treatment which as somebody who likes
01:14:36.260 --> 01:14:39.710
McGregor was like, whoa, that's harsh. Nah, I've only
01:14:39.710 --> 01:14:41.890
seen two chapters in the book so far but
01:14:42.270 --> 01:14:45.090
it's interesting to put it mildly. But you're
01:14:45.090 --> 01:14:46.989
right, this has got your argument. Well,
01:14:46.989 --> 01:14:50.479
in fairness, Colonel McGregor and
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:53.579
Scott Ritter have both been making that same
01:14:53.579 --> 01:14:57.619
argument. And they have been saying this now
01:14:57.619 --> 01:15:01.689
for going on five years. And I really don't understand
01:15:01.689 --> 01:15:04.189
how anyone could take either one of them seriously
01:15:04.189 --> 01:15:09.710
at all when they have so failed with what it
01:15:09.710 --> 01:15:11.890
is that they're going out, what it is that they're
01:15:11.890 --> 01:15:14.369
putting out. Because the stuff they're saying,
01:15:14.489 --> 01:15:16.670
they can't possibly know. They don't have the
01:15:16.670 --> 01:15:18.470
information from the Kremlin. They don't know
01:15:18.470 --> 01:15:20.989
what Russia's battle plans are. They can look
01:15:20.989 --> 01:15:24.270
at how wars were fought historically, but just
01:15:24.270 --> 01:15:26.369
because how a war was fought before does not
01:15:26.369 --> 01:15:27.750
mean that's how this war is going to be fought
01:15:27.750 --> 01:15:30.090
now. And they're not seeing in Brussels either,
01:15:30.270 --> 01:15:34.770
getting information from the NATO people.
01:15:35.409 --> 01:15:38.029
Because, well, sure, Lithuania probably wants
01:15:38.029 --> 01:15:41.630
to march on Moscow. Most of Europe has no interest
01:15:41.630 --> 01:15:45.109
in committing suicide. Also, the Turkey argument
01:15:45.109 --> 01:15:47.850
is also weird to me, too. McGregor was
01:15:47.850 --> 01:15:50.380
like, Turkey is going to attack Israel. And he's
01:15:50.380 --> 01:15:52.380
like, really? They were working together to take
01:15:52.380 --> 01:15:54.819
down Syria. Now, it doesn't mean that that can't
01:15:54.819 --> 01:15:58.260
happen. Right. Especially considering I think
01:15:58.260 --> 01:16:01.079
it was. Oh, what is his name? What is his name?
01:16:01.180 --> 01:16:03.079
Just recently came out. So he was in a conversation
01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:04.760
with the people from Saudi Arabia and they pointed
01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:07.779
out that Israel was going to go after Turkey
01:16:07.779 --> 01:16:10.720
and Saudi Arabia immediately after they go after
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.399
Iran. Talking about big plans. Right. It's like
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.140
you haven't lost the first war. You're trying
01:16:15.140 --> 01:16:18.489
to lose the other two. Well, Saudi Arabia, they
01:16:18.489 --> 01:16:19.850
probably could be Saudi Arabia if they don't
01:16:19.850 --> 01:16:23.170
really have a country per se. But Turkey, Turkey
01:16:23.170 --> 01:16:26.029
actually has military. You're not going to win
01:16:26.029 --> 01:16:29.029
that war. But no, I know it's interesting. Right.
01:16:29.109 --> 01:16:31.909
But I think what it is, people like cheerleaders,
01:16:31.970 --> 01:16:36.229
they like to hear this is going right. This
01:16:36.229 --> 01:16:37.909
is what I give you an example. Rachel Maddow,
01:16:37.930 --> 01:16:41.630
when she was talking about Donald
01:16:41.630 --> 01:16:44.899
Trump's taxes. And she had his taxes. And Donald
01:16:44.899 --> 01:16:47.060
Trump was doing all of these nefarious things.
01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:50.520
The moment that Hillary Clinton lost that race,
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:54.279
Rachel Maddow's ratings went up in smoke, at
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:56.500
least for a time period. They eventually came
01:16:56.500 --> 01:16:58.699
back up, but they immediately dropped with the
01:16:58.699 --> 01:17:00.619
depression that people were having when Clinton
01:17:00.619 --> 01:17:03.439
lost. I think something like that takes place
01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:06.439
for YouTube and podcasts, where people get accustomed
01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:09.239
to a particular, they want to be told the world
01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:13.930
is great. It's confirmation bias. Yeah, it's
01:17:13.930 --> 01:17:16.899
confirmation bias. We're all stuck with
01:17:16.899 --> 01:17:19.979
it, but when you look it over, as you point out,
01:17:20.020 --> 01:17:21.500
the archetype, four or five years, and they're
01:17:21.500 --> 01:17:24.329
saying the same thing. It's like, okay. One of
01:17:24.329 --> 01:17:27.090
the things I always try to do, and this might
01:17:27.090 --> 01:17:31.789
surprise people, the vast majority of material
01:17:31.789 --> 01:17:34.050
and podcasts that I read or that I listen to
01:17:34.050 --> 01:17:37.729
are from people who disagree with me vehemently.
01:17:38.250 --> 01:17:41.189
And so I do that for two reasons. One, it makes
01:17:41.189 --> 01:17:45.689
me think, first, do they have a point? Am I wrong?
01:17:45.930 --> 01:17:47.770
If I'm wrong, I should be willing to change my
01:17:47.770 --> 01:17:51.449
mind. But second of all, for the biggest reason
01:17:51.449 --> 01:17:53.489
is because I don't want that confirmation to
01:17:53.489 --> 01:17:57.189
capture. It's so easy to just go, okay, these
01:17:57.189 --> 01:18:01.189
people are right. This is my tribe. Yeah, that's
01:18:01.189 --> 01:18:03.470
Helmer's argument. When he's writing a book,
01:18:03.529 --> 01:18:06.210
that seems to be his main argument. The podcasting
01:18:06.210 --> 01:18:09.489
community is not a replacement for actual news,
01:18:09.670 --> 01:18:12.729
per se. I think that's his main point. Welcome
01:18:12.729 --> 01:18:16.489
back, Ted. Thanks. Good to be back. All right.
01:18:16.649 --> 01:18:21.090
So, yeah, thanks for sitting in. Okay, so, okay,
01:18:21.170 --> 01:18:24.850
what else do we got here? Oh, we should talk
01:18:24.850 --> 01:18:28.430
about Trump. Oh, let me put in this comment.
01:18:28.630 --> 01:18:32.970
Alm, thanks for this comment. For me, the certainty
01:18:32.970 --> 01:18:35.970
of death is more impetus to change the circumstances
01:18:35.970 --> 01:18:42.250
of those living. Religion is a farce. So
01:18:42.250 --> 01:18:43.689
I always make the argument I could die tomorrow.
01:18:43.689 --> 01:18:47.949
I've just internalized it or trying to anyway.
01:18:47.949 --> 01:18:54.029
I just take it as an acceptance. But yeah, somebody
01:18:54.029 --> 01:18:56.449
yesterday was like, God, man, you're so dark. It's
01:18:56.449 --> 01:18:59.550
like, why? Just because I accept reality for what
01:18:59.550 --> 01:19:02.529
it is. It's, yeah. I don't think it
01:19:02.529 --> 01:19:05.350
makes us, it makes life more valuable, not less,
01:19:05.350 --> 01:19:08.770
and it makes what you do matter more, not less,
01:19:08.770 --> 01:19:12.069
right? Meaning even if there's nothing there,
01:19:12.069 --> 01:19:14.789
it still makes what you do that much more
01:19:14.789 --> 01:19:16.550
valuable because that's the only thing that's
01:19:16.550 --> 01:19:18.430
going to change things. There is nothing that
01:19:18.430 --> 01:19:21.369
is going to interfere or to your benefit in life.
01:19:21.369 --> 01:19:25.569
Meaning there's nothing cares. You just
01:19:25.569 --> 01:19:28.090
kind of have to accept that and function with
01:19:28.090 --> 01:19:29.649
that even with the knowledge that at some point
01:19:29.649 --> 01:19:30.649
you're going to close your eyes and you're not
01:19:30.649 --> 01:19:33.539
going to wake up. It's just life. It
01:19:33.539 --> 01:19:36.329
has to be accepted. There's no way around it. Agreed.
01:19:36.329 --> 01:19:40.630
Yeah. Now, vampire lore handles
01:19:40.630 --> 01:19:43.630
that really well. You talk kind of like
01:19:43.630 --> 01:19:46.430
it really delves into the depressing aspects
01:19:46.430 --> 01:19:50.149
of immortality and yeah, how it takes away meaning
01:19:50.149 --> 01:19:55.010
from life. But does it take away meaning? Immortality,
01:19:55.010 --> 01:19:57.890
meaning is given. People give life meaning.
01:19:57.890 --> 01:20:01.670
It's not inherent to meaning. And even if you
01:20:01.670 --> 01:20:05.310
live forever. And meaning is subjective.
01:20:05.350 --> 01:20:08.010
It's kind of like, let's just say all you do
01:20:08.010 --> 01:20:11.029
your entire life is you laze around, assuming
01:20:11.029 --> 01:20:13.630
you can afford it, and just smoke weed and drink
01:20:13.630 --> 01:20:17.569
and watch movies. Or let's just say you watch
01:20:17.569 --> 01:20:22.840
YouTube videos. That's all you do. If that's
01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:24.760
that could be good enough for you.
01:20:24.819 --> 01:20:27.159
That could be enough. You don't
01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:30.619
need to win literary prizes. That may
01:20:30.619 --> 01:20:34.380
all be bullshit. Most of life is mundane. Most
01:20:34.380 --> 01:20:37.060
people that live and die live mundane lives.
01:20:38.590 --> 01:20:41.210
90-something percent. Most people who create
01:20:41.210 --> 01:20:43.930
shit, it's like 1% or 2%. It's not like a huge
01:20:43.930 --> 01:20:48.229
number of people are discovering gravity. These
01:20:48.229 --> 01:20:50.869
are very tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of people
01:20:50.869 --> 01:20:55.789
who are doing these things. No, I agree. By the
01:20:55.789 --> 01:20:58.710
way, speaking of meaning or lack of meaning,
01:20:58.850 --> 01:21:02.930
so Israel's elections. So have you taken note
01:21:02.930 --> 01:21:06.409
of the fact that Eisenkot is now flirting with
01:21:06.409 --> 01:21:10.520
the Arab parties? I have taken note. I thought
01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:11.239
that was interesting. Well, I haven't. I thought
01:21:11.239 --> 01:21:13.800
Netanyahu was flirting with it. No, he's not.
01:21:14.060 --> 01:21:16.539
He's basically going on. He's going crazy.
01:21:16.619 --> 01:21:21.039
He's like, it is forbidden to have any non-Zionist
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:23.939
party in the government. It's like, by whom?
01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:26.210
It's not forbidden by the Israeli constitution.
01:21:26.210 --> 01:21:31.310
It's like or Israeli law or something. And he's
01:21:31.310 --> 01:21:32.729
trying to do everything this party to ensure
01:21:32.729 --> 01:21:35.010
Eisenkot doesn't go for it, meaning he needs to
01:21:35.010 --> 01:21:37.630
tank the will. He needs to take. I don't know if
01:21:37.630 --> 01:21:39.710
you've ever watched the show Magicians. There's
01:21:39.710 --> 01:21:43.310
a great part of it with, it's like this well
01:21:43.310 --> 01:21:45.630
where all the magic comes through. Breaking news,
01:21:45.630 --> 01:21:48.069
the flight that crashed in Florida, one of the
01:21:48.069 --> 01:21:52.739
pilots was 20 years old. See, I told you. It's just
01:21:52.739 --> 01:21:55.199
like the Tupolev. Yeah.
01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:57.439
Like I said, incompetence. The person might
01:21:57.439 --> 01:22:00.079
not have known. The only reason I brought
01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:02.159
up the person with the camera and everything
01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:04.460
else, because she was young. She was very,
01:22:04.539 --> 01:22:07.140
she, it seemed to be more about YouTube
01:22:07.140 --> 01:22:09.079
than it about flying. Meaning she seemed to be
01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:10.699
incompetent from the standpoint of her ability
01:22:10.699 --> 01:22:14.600
to do the job. And again, these young pilots,
01:22:14.699 --> 01:22:17.569
they don't, pilots are not paid
01:22:17.569 --> 01:22:20.380
what people think they're paid. They're
01:22:20.380 --> 01:22:22.140
often not paid much at all, especially when they're
01:22:22.140 --> 01:22:23.960
especially on those corporate flights or on puddle
01:22:26.180 --> 01:22:29.279
jumpers. Yeah, yeah, when they're first
01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:32.640
starting. So I just figured she's younger. Mistakes
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:36.279
were made. That's unfortunate. That sucks. I mean,
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:38.180
the 20-year-old, God, man, I would imagine her family
01:22:38.180 --> 01:22:42.470
is freaking out. No doubt. Yeah. No, I was so, I was
01:22:42.470 --> 01:22:45.710
interviewing Ralph Nader for a book of
01:22:45.710 --> 01:22:53.449
mine. And while I was there waiting for
01:22:53.449 --> 01:22:56.569
him, he stepped out to take a phone call. And
01:22:56.569 --> 01:22:59.829
he came back in, and he had just learned that
01:22:59.829 --> 01:23:04.310
it was his grandniece had just been killed in
01:23:04.310 --> 01:23:10.329
the Lion Air flight out of Ethiopia. You know,
01:23:10.350 --> 01:23:16.029
this was the Boeing 737 MAX 8 crash. Yeah. There
01:23:16.029 --> 01:23:18.130
were two back-to-back crashes and this was
01:23:18.130 --> 01:23:22.329
one of them and he just got that call. And
01:23:22.329 --> 01:23:25.210
he was like, it was amazing because
01:23:25.210 --> 01:23:28.489
first of all he was, of course, obviously he knew
01:23:28.489 --> 01:23:31.750
her well and he was, not everyone knows
01:23:31.750 --> 01:23:34.390
their grandniece, but he did, and he was really
01:23:34.390 --> 01:23:37.590
very shaken. But what was really remarkable
01:23:37.590 --> 01:23:41.550
was he immediately being Ralph Nader's like, you
01:23:41.550 --> 01:23:43.010
know, we're going to look into this and it's
01:23:43.010 --> 01:23:45.069
going to turn out to be some kind of corporate
01:23:45.069 --> 01:23:48.930
skullduggery. You just know it will be. And he
01:23:48.930 --> 01:23:51.729
was totally right. Totally right. Yep. They couldn't
01:23:51.729 --> 01:23:55.989
compete with Airbus. So Boeing started to basically
01:23:55.989 --> 01:23:59.390
change the software and change the engines in
01:23:59.390 --> 01:24:02.050
a way that the plane made the plane unwieldy.
01:24:02.649 --> 01:24:06.210
And so the pilots were effectively fighting the
01:24:06.210 --> 01:24:10.109
AI, their own plane. And they hadn't been notified.
01:24:10.590 --> 01:24:13.989
Right, and they weren't given, remember they were
01:24:13.989 --> 01:24:16.489
given, they were like to save money they
01:24:16.489 --> 01:24:18.909
weren't using simulators. They were
01:24:18.909 --> 01:24:21.689
given iPads. Well, they
01:24:21.689 --> 01:24:24.069
didn't even change the plane. Yeah, I mean, they
01:24:24.069 --> 01:24:25.689
were trying to cut costs all the way through
01:24:25.689 --> 01:24:27.590
thinking, well, we can compete with Airbus just
01:24:27.590 --> 01:24:30.630
by changing the AI and changing the design
01:24:30.630 --> 01:24:33.270
of the engines. I mean, it was outrageous.
01:24:33.270 --> 01:24:36.409
It's really weird how that technology is
01:24:36.409 --> 01:24:39.800
so weird. Like with my ex-
01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:43.600
wife has a Tesla. And she was saying, oh,
01:24:43.819 --> 01:24:47.899
I'm thinking of paying the upgrade. I think
01:24:47.899 --> 01:24:50.300
it was several thousand dollars so that
01:24:50.300 --> 01:24:53.180
the car will go faster. And I'm like, what? And
01:24:53.180 --> 01:24:59.960
she's like, yeah, it's a software upgrade to
01:24:59.960 --> 01:25:02.100
the Tesla. So if you want, your car can only
01:25:02.100 --> 01:25:05.279
go so fast. And but it will go faster if
01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:07.550
you pay for the software upgrade. And I was
01:25:07.550 --> 01:25:10.789
like, wait, you mean to tell me that Elon throttles
01:25:10.789 --> 01:25:13.829
the car and basically says, oh, you want the
01:25:13.829 --> 01:25:15.649
car to be able to go as fast as it can really
01:25:15.649 --> 01:25:18.210
go? You've got to pay more? And she's like, yeah.
01:25:19.300 --> 01:25:24.449
That's insane. Isn't it? That's insane. Totally
01:25:24.449 --> 01:25:27.149
insane. I've got to be honest. Tesla
01:25:27.149 --> 01:25:28.949
comes across to me like having an Apple computer
01:25:28.949 --> 01:25:32.890
or like a, it's like a, sure it works,
01:25:32.930 --> 01:25:36.720
but it's almost like a fashion
01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:41.159
thing. That's how. Look, the more electronic
01:25:41.159 --> 01:25:42.739
a car is, the more things you can do with that
01:25:42.739 --> 01:25:44.500
car after the fact, meaning upgrades that can
01:25:44.500 --> 01:25:47.359
be made to software in order to affect the hardware
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:50.039
in ways that the car can be different. Yeah.
01:25:50.039 --> 01:25:52.300
That I gotta be honest, even that freaks me out.
01:25:52.300 --> 01:25:58.539
I don't want them to shut my car off. Right, I
01:25:58.539 --> 01:26:01.619
want to be, I want my chance at getting away. Right.
01:26:01.619 --> 01:26:06.710
Right. It's not sporting. Yo, it's not
01:26:06.710 --> 01:26:09.229
fair. It's like you're off the bank and you got
01:26:09.229 --> 01:26:11.449
your comps. What the hell, man? Totally.
01:26:11.590 --> 01:26:14.050
What the hell? On the other hand, so it
01:26:14.050 --> 01:26:16.369
is, on the other hand, the first time I was really
01:26:16.369 --> 01:26:19.109
tempted, well, there's two times I've been tempted
01:26:19.109 --> 01:26:21.130
to, and this was the second time. The first
time
01:26:21.130 --> 01:26:23.630
I was tempted by getting an electric car, and
01:26:23.630 --> 01:26:27.090
I don't have one, was when I heard that
01:26:27.109 --> 01:26:29.869
you can, if you have a charging station at your
01:26:29.869 --> 01:26:34.479
home, you can also use it as a backup generator
01:26:34.479 --> 01:26:37.739
for your entire house. So if you lose
01:26:37.739 --> 01:26:40.899
power, some of these are so big that they'll power
01:26:40.899 --> 01:26:43.699
your house basically just like normal. It's not
01:26:43.699 --> 01:26:45.699
like having a gas generator that works for a
01:26:45.699 --> 01:26:48.039
couple hours and you can run some basic things
01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:50.380
on it and you don't freeze to death right away.
01:26:50.380 --> 01:26:52.520
You have enough time to maybe get out. This is
01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:55.300
about like you literally can do everything normally
01:26:55.300 --> 01:26:58.079
for three days and you could just
01:26:58.079 --> 01:27:00.899
run the AC, run the heat,
01:27:01.899 --> 01:27:04.840
the fridge, everything is going strong. And it's
01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:07.140
like, it's a backup generator. I'm like, that's
01:27:07.140 --> 01:27:10.119
a fucking cool idea. And it's also not making
01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:12.680
a lot of noise. You don't have to store gasoline
01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:16.979
in your house. The other thing that was something
01:27:16.979 --> 01:27:19.560
over the weekend, I was reading a story by a
01:27:19.560 --> 01:27:23.279
guy who, he got this little EV from China, a
01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:26.520
little pickup truck, and they sell for $2,000.
01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:30.180
So his big idea was, well, I'll pay for all the
01:27:30.180 --> 01:27:33.720
import fees and Trump's tariffs and I'll get
01:27:33.720 --> 01:27:35.880
this and I'll just have it around. So here's the
01:27:35.880 --> 01:27:39.850
thing. I forget the name of it, but again it costs
01:27:39.850 --> 01:27:43.770
two grand. He paid about two thousand. Pardon? What
01:27:43.770 --> 01:27:46.949
is it? BYD? No, this was not that. This was not that.
01:27:46.949 --> 01:27:49.369
I know what you're talking about. This was some
01:27:49.369 --> 01:27:51.630
other little. It's a little pickup truck, right?
01:27:51.630 --> 01:27:55.710
And all told between the taxes and the, it
01:27:55.710 --> 01:27:58.789
costs two grand to send it and two grand in
01:27:58.789 --> 01:28:02.340
tariffs. All total price six grand. He changed
01:28:02.340 --> 01:28:05.659
out the tires and put in more robust tires because
01:28:05.659 --> 01:28:09.520
he lives on a farm in rural Florida. And he said,
01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:14.350
so he wanted more robust tires with better
01:28:14.350 --> 01:28:17.350
shocks. So that was the only thing he did. He
01:28:17.350 --> 01:28:19.789
said, it's been a fucking amazing experience.
01:28:19.829 --> 01:28:23.409
It only goes up to 25 miles an hour. So he said,
01:28:23.449
--> 01:28:25.609
it's not a car you'd want to take out
01:28:25.609 --> 01:28:28.850
on the road and go on the highway with, but for
01:28:28.850 --> 01:28:32.109
fucking around the farm, hauling loads, maybe
01:28:32.109 --> 01:28:36.050
going down to the 7-Eleven. He said it's a great
01:28:36.050 --> 01:28:39.930
car and he said it's so sturdy, it's so great.
01:28:39.930 --> 01:28:42.819
He was just had a great experience with it. Wait,
01:28:42.819 --> 01:28:45.100
how did they get into the country? They brought
01:28:45.100 --> 01:28:48.119
it in like a boat. Well, yeah, yeah, it was brought
01:28:48.119 --> 01:28:51.810
in in a shipping container. Interesting because
01:28:51.810 --> 01:28:53.670
I thought about getting a moped or a
01:28:53.670 --> 01:28:56.310
scooter because I haven't driven since I've gotten
01:28:56.310 --> 01:28:59.689
back. I put my Mustang in. I sold my Mustang
01:28:59.689 --> 01:29:02.390
when I left and everything else. And it has
01:29:02.390 --> 01:29:04.090
been a pain in the ass to be back in the States
01:29:04.090 --> 01:29:06.569
without the car. So I think about getting
01:29:06.569 --> 01:29:09.369
a moped or a scooter or something like that. That's
01:29:09.369 --> 01:29:11.270
not a bad idea. I didn't think it was even legal
01:29:11.270 --> 01:29:14.279
to get that stuff from China though. A moped is
01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:17.180
I think I love, I love mopeds. I love scooters
01:29:17.180 --> 01:29:19.439
but they're dangerous because of the cars
01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:22.340
and you hit one little patch, one little patch
01:29:22.340 --> 01:29:24.840
of gravel and you're finished. No, that's true.
01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:27.100
But that's kind of what I drove when I
01:29:27.100 --> 01:29:30.500
was abroad. I've driven them
01:29:30.500 --> 01:29:33.500
all. I'll drive them again. I love them. They're
01:29:33.500 --> 01:29:38.170
dangerous. Fair enough. I didn't think it was
01:29:38.170 --> 01:29:40.489
legal to bring cars in from China. So it's legal.
01:29:40.550 --> 01:29:42.630
The issue is just the tariffs. You just pay a
01:29:42.630 --> 01:29:45.890
lot of tariffs. Think about it. He's paying
01:29:45.890 --> 01:29:50.289
a 100% tariff. But if the thing only costs two
01:29:50.289 --> 01:29:52.449
grand, you don't really care. Yeah, what's the
01:29:52.449 --> 01:29:53.869
matter? It doesn't really matter at that point.
01:29:53.909 --> 01:29:57.619
That's cheaper than a new car. But you can get
01:29:57.619 --> 01:29:59.500
an American scooter, right? The difference here
01:29:59.500 --> 01:30:01.800
is there's no world in which you can get even
01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:06.300
a shitty electric pickup truck of any kind for
01:30:06.300 --> 01:30:09.640
six grand here. Exactly, yeah. That number is
01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:12.279
just amazing. And yeah, it has amazing electronic
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:13.859
vehicles. For the amount that you're paying
01:30:13.859 --> 01:30:16.460
for the Tesla,
you would pay, there would
01:30:16.460 --> 01:30:19.899
be a high-end car with all of the gadgets plus
01:30:19.899 --> 01:30:23.420
stuff on top of it for the Tesla. Meaning when
01:30:23.420 --> 01:30:26.649
Tesla is competing with the Chinese cars, it's
01:30:26.649 --> 01:30:29.109
not really. One downside for me too is
01:30:29.109 --> 01:30:32.069
when I got, I had a Honda Civic Hybrid
01:30:32.069 --> 01:30:35.890
that I bought in '04 and back then you could. It
01:30:35.890 --> 01:30:38.010
had a sticker that came with it from the state
01:30:38.010 --> 01:30:40.829
of New York and that's worth it. I wish they still
01:30:40.829 --> 01:30:42.510
did that. I would buy an electronic car if it
01:30:42.510 --> 01:30:44.630
right now if it had it. You could drive alone
01:30:44.630 --> 01:30:47.930
in the HOV lane which trust me on Long Island
01:30:47.930 --> 01:30:51.470
is a lifesaver and you can and you could park
01:30:51.470 --> 01:30:55.689
in any state or city public municipal parking
01:30:55.689 --> 01:30:59.609
lot for free indefinitely. So you could go, you
01:30:59.609 --> 01:31:01.569
could go leave your car there and go join the
01:31:01.569 --> 01:31:04.649
Peace Corps in a year, come back and you don't
01:31:04.649 --> 01:31:07.409
have to pay anything. It'll be okay. By the way,
01:31:07.409 --> 01:31:10.229
I'm going to be in New York this week. Oh, cool.
01:31:10.229 --> 01:31:13.689
Black Agenda Report is having, I think it's
01:31:13.689 --> 01:31:16.550
I forget how many years. They like 20-year anniversary.
01:31:16.550 --> 01:31:19.909
20, I think. Yeah, I see, I saw that. Yeah. So I will
01:31:19.909 --> 01:31:21.810
be going to that. I've already got my registration.
01:31:22.069 --> 01:31:25.739
When is it? This is going to be Saturday. All
01:31:25.739 --> 01:31:27.399
right. Well, hey, if you have time.
01:31:28.050 --> 01:31:30.689
Yeah. It's going to be in New York City. Okay.
01:31:32.449 --> 01:31:35.130
Let's try to hang. Let's do it. All right. Cool.
01:31:35.189 --> 01:31:38.250
Say hi to Margaret for me, too. I am Jill. I
01:31:38.250 --> 01:31:41.470
would like to be there. Montana. But
01:31:41.470 --> 01:31:45.039
you get an open black sky, which is a reward
01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:48.020
in and of itself. I have no idea. That's true.
01:31:48.180 --> 01:31:49.859
I was really hoping you'd come here last
01:31:49.859 --> 01:31:51.220
week because I was going to give you the tour.
01:31:51.500 --> 01:31:54.340
But I'll tell you one thing. I would pay money
01:31:54.340 --> 01:31:57.840
to watch someone try to drive a moped on the
01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:00.319
main streets of Kalispell in February in the
01:32:00.319 --> 01:32:03.800
middle of winter. Oh, God. God be with you. You
01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:07.800
will die. Yeah, you'll be like Jack Nicholson
01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:10.739
in the last scene of The Shining. I busted my
01:32:10.739 --> 01:32:18.170
ass in Cambodia. The guy kept driving in mud.
01:32:19.010 --> 01:32:22.390
He kept driving in mud. Didn't care. He would
01:32:22.390 --> 01:32:26.270
be fine with it, right? And I had never been
01:32:26.270 --> 01:32:28.489
on a moped. That was my first time being on one.
01:32:28.930 --> 01:32:33.949
And if you ask me, I'm going to say yes. Meaning
01:32:33.949 --> 01:32:37.029
to me, if you tell me, hey, we have two speedboats.
01:32:37.149 --> 01:32:38.649
We have one that goes to speed and the other
01:32:38.649 --> 01:32:39.890
one that goes high speed. I'm going to say, why
01:32:39.890 --> 01:32:41.329
did you even tell me about the low speed one?
01:32:43.010 --> 01:32:46.130
Why didn't you even tell me? Yeah, I'm a guy.
01:32:46.229 --> 01:32:48.729
If you tell me, hey, here's a motorcycle. Would
01:32:48.729 --> 01:32:51.050
you like to ride it? I'm going to say yes. It's
01:32:51.050 --> 01:32:52.630
not going to be a no. It's only going to be yes.
01:32:53.409 --> 01:32:55.930
And I got on it and I crashed the fucking bike.
01:32:57.149 --> 01:33:00.390
And I injured myself, right? And I was like,
01:33:00.430 --> 01:33:02.350
my leg was bleeding and I was pissed off. So
01:33:02.350 --> 01:33:03.810
I was throwing a hissy fit on the ground.
01:33:03.970 --> 01:33:06.329
I'm not getting up. I'm just going to wait
01:33:06.329 --> 01:33:08.170
and see if he comes back. That bastard didn't
01:33:08.170 --> 01:33:10.109
come back. I was pissed off. I was having a moment.
01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:14.079
It's so heavy to get out from underneath it too.
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:17.979
Yeah, it's like you pull it up and then you get
01:33:17.979 --> 01:33:19.359
it back out and you get back on the road and
01:33:19.359 --> 01:33:21.300
you get used to it. But yeah, I was injured.
01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:23.619
I screwed my leg up. I was glimping back
01:33:23.619 --> 01:33:25.800
to the hotel. I did that to myself in Thailand.
01:33:25.899 --> 01:33:29.699
I know the feeling. Yeah, that's just wow. But
01:33:29.699 --> 01:33:33.699
it's fun though. It's fun. The women in Cambodia
01:33:33.699 --> 01:33:37.340
were hitting on me, which was nice. It was like,
01:33:37.399 --> 01:33:39.659
he's handsome. It was like, oh, okay. Thank you
01:33:39.659 --> 01:33:43.500
for that. You're like, I'm liking Cambodia. So
01:33:43.500 --> 01:33:45.699
you literally took a holiday in Cambodia, just
01:33:45.699 --> 01:33:51.819
to quote the Dead Kennedys. Okay, so Trump. So
01:33:51.819 --> 01:33:54.159
the New York Times, you got to talk about this
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:57.319
thing. So the New York Times ran all of Trump's
01:33:57.319 --> 01:34:01.199
public appearances from 2015 to last Thursday
01:34:01.199 --> 01:34:07.880
through AI. And they're trying to analyze using
01:34:07.880 --> 01:34:11.619
the AI to see. Is Trump becoming more insane?
01:34:12.159 --> 01:34:16.760
The answer, not surprisingly, is fuck yeah. So
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:20.939
basically they said that the speeches are now
01:34:20.939 --> 01:34:24.399
wilder, longer, more profane, and less coherent
01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:27.840
by objective standards. He repeats more stories,
01:34:28.020 --> 01:34:31.560
mispronounces more names, issues more threats,
01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:35.180
and now lately he's been fixating on men's asses,
01:34:35.180 --> 01:34:43.430
as you know. So, yeah, you know the ass quotes,
01:34:43.649 --> 01:34:47.529
right? I didn't know the ass quotes. Okay, hold
01:34:47.529 --> 01:34:50.390
on. I got to talk about, I've got to look these
01:34:50.390 --> 01:34:55.130
up and see if, oh, here we go. Okay, on Ohio
01:34:55.130 --> 01:34:59.109
Senator John Husted, I examined his ass and
01:34:59.109 --> 01:35:01.229
then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his
01:35:01.229 --> 01:35:03.909
feet. I looked at his hand. He's got a jawline.
01:35:04.310 --> 01:35:07.270
He said, I never did that with a man before.
01:35:07.369 --> 01:35:11.590
It's true. Off the record, women, yes, men, no,
01:35:11.810 --> 01:35:15.489
okay? About Nicki Minaj. By the way, I looked
01:35:15.489 --> 01:35:17.930
at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki
01:35:17.930 --> 01:35:20.789
Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up, Nicki.
01:35:21.109 --> 01:35:25.770
That's hard to miss. What? Mike Rogers. I'd say
01:35:25.770 --> 01:35:28.289
that about your ass too, Mike, if it gets you
01:35:28.289 --> 01:35:32.840
a guaranteed victory, Trump said. Wait a minute.
01:35:33.020 --> 01:35:35.680
Okay, Nicki Minaj is an embarrassment by herself.
01:35:36.050 --> 01:35:40.810
And by the way, not even a legal citizen. No,
01:35:40.829 --> 01:35:43.350
she's not. Where's she from? I don't know where
01:35:43.350 --> 01:35:45.069
she's from, but she doesn't have a passport.
01:35:45.189 --> 01:35:49.520
She's not from America. Her husband is a sex
01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:51.920
offender or registered sex offender. And it was
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:53.380
somebody else in her family is a registered sex
01:35:53.380 --> 01:35:57.539
offender. So it's like, okay, you're parading
01:35:57.539 --> 01:35:59.020
this woman around who's not even an American
01:35:59.020 --> 01:36:01.579
citizen, meaning she is still filling out her
01:36:01.579 --> 01:36:03.579
citizenship stuff. Oh, she has a green card now
01:36:03.579 --> 01:36:07.479
though, according to, she says. Okay. Oh, she's
01:36:07.479 --> 01:36:10.399
from Trinidad and Tobago. From my understanding,
01:36:10.439 --> 01:36:12.699
she was working on - Grew up in Queens. A green
01:36:12.699 --> 01:36:14.899
card or working on getting citizenship in the
01:36:14.899 --> 01:36:17.399
country. Oh, she has the Trump card. She got
01:36:17.399 --> 01:36:20.739
the Trump card. Okay. I'm just making a point
01:36:20.739 --> 01:36:23.479
that he is running around with somebody who's
01:36:23.479 --> 01:36:26.180
not an American citizen. Right. True. I used
01:36:26.180 --> 01:36:29.300
to have jumped on stage in any moment. Can you
01:36:29.300 --> 01:36:31.659
imagine that shit? I was jumping on Donald Trump's
01:36:31.659 --> 01:36:34.020
stage. You can share a cell with Ilhan Omar.
01:36:34.180 --> 01:36:37.770
Yeah. It's like, the level of hypocrisy
01:36:37.770 --> 01:36:40.270
in this is breathtaking. But the idea that you
01:36:40.270 --> 01:36:42.229
tell a woman, stand up so people can see your
01:36:42.229 --> 01:36:45.170
ass is astonishing. It's unbelievable. Can you
01:36:45.170 --> 01:36:48.170
imagine Obama doing some shit like that? There's
01:36:48.170 --> 01:36:51.289
no world. It's impossible. Then how the hell
01:36:51.289 --> 01:36:53.550
is it okay for Trump to do this? He is
01:36:53.550 --> 01:36:57.250
literally saying, stand up so everybody can see
01:36:57.250 --> 01:37:02.220
your ass. And he doesn't even say your backside.
01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:07.020
Your ass. Right. I can't imagine a president
01:37:07.020 --> 01:37:09.159
saying that. How could a kid go to the presidential
01:37:09.159 --> 01:37:12.739
thing and see some like that? That's amazing.
01:37:12.739 --> 01:37:17.159
That's astonishing. It's actually
01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:20.659
it should honestly it's impeachable. Public
01:37:20.659 --> 01:37:23.600
officials have been impeached for behaving in
01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:27.220
a rude and crude kind of way. That's embarrassing.
01:37:29.039 --> 01:37:31.479
That Supreme Court justice who became, was the
01:37:31.479 --> 01:37:33.619
first major impeachment in the early days of
01:37:33.619 --> 01:37:35.979
the Republic. Part of it was that he was a drunken
01:37:35.979 --> 01:37:41.220
asshole who behaved profanely. Wow. What else
01:37:41.220 --> 01:37:42.439
did he say? I didn't know about the ass stuff.
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:45.039
I didn't know that this was the thing. Even though
01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:48.279
- You need more? Yeah. I'm hearing about a few
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:50.279
more ass things. So Nicki Minaj, I did
01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:52.760
not know he did that to her. That's amazing.
01:37:53.340 --> 01:37:55.100
Yeah, let me see. I'm going to see if I can pull
01:37:55.100 --> 01:37:58.560
this up. That is humiliating. That's so humiliating.
01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:03.100
Okay. Oh, here we go. At Youngstown. I don't
01:38:03.100 --> 01:38:05.079
do this with men very. Okay, well then this one
01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:08.460
I've already talked. In North Carolina, October
01:38:08.460 --> 01:38:11.539
20th. I've never studied the body of a man before.
01:38:11.539 --> 01:38:14.079
It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it before.
01:38:14.079 --> 01:38:19.079
I hope Nicki wasn't insulted but we love Nicki.
01:38:19.079 --> 01:38:23.489
She's been with us a long time. Well, because she
01:38:23.489 --> 01:38:25.350
wants a passport. She wants citizenship.
01:38:25.350 --> 01:38:29.680
It's what I suspect that boils down to. Well,
01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:31.460
she has a green card, so she should be able to
01:38:31.460
--> 01:38:35.500
get one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is so great.
01:38:37.100 --> 01:38:41.739
This was about John Ossoff and Mike Collins with
01:38:41.739 --> 01:38:44.039
Ossoff. Somebody said he's a good-looking man.
01:38:44.420 --> 01:38:46.739
I don't think he's a good-looking man. I actually
01:38:46.739 --> 01:38:48.979
think Mike Collins is a good-looking man, and
01:38:48.979 --> 01:38:51.720
he's all man. He's all man. I'm not sure about
01:38:51.720 --> 01:38:54.319
Ossoff. He said that he thought Ossoff looked
01:38:54.319 --> 01:38:58.489
like Pee-wee Herman. I actually think that Rick
01:38:58.489 --> 01:39:01.689
Jackson's a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful
01:39:01.689 --> 01:39:05.770
looking guy. And then he turned to the military
01:39:05.770 --> 01:39:08.470
and he said that he had spent time with soldiers
01:39:08.470 --> 01:39:11.229
from Central Casting. We're allowed to have big,
01:39:11.250 --> 01:39:15.409
strong, handsome soldiers now, he said. Not gay,
01:39:15.609 --> 01:39:18.710
not gay, not gay. Is that what he said? Not gay,
01:39:18.810 --> 01:39:21.590
not gay? No, that's what I'm saying. Oh, okay.
01:39:22.670 --> 01:39:25.310
I wouldn't be shocked. If you said after that,
01:39:25.329 --> 01:39:28.270
hey, not gay, not gay, not gay. Are we
01:39:28.270 --> 01:39:31.270
reconstituting this sacred band from Thebes and
01:39:31.270 --> 01:39:33.130
Carthage? Because that's what it sounds like.
01:39:34.829 --> 01:39:39.390
All right, man, line on up. It's like, hello,
01:39:39.529 --> 01:39:45.039
cuties. He's such a disgusting prick. Well, he
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:47.340
and Hank Seth, right? Both of them. Hank
01:39:47.340 --> 01:39:50.840
Seth's obviously not gay, not gay, not gay. So,
01:39:50.960 --> 01:39:52.960
what does all this mean, right?
01:39:52.979 --> 01:39:56.960
So people who are familiar with people
01:39:56.960 --> 01:40:01.340
who have dementia, Alzheimer's, you see these,
01:40:01.460 --> 01:40:04.960
basically inhibitions disappear, right,
01:40:05.039 --> 01:40:08.520
as the disease progresses. I saw it with my mom.
01:40:08.659 --> 01:40:12.460
So my mom. She died of Alzheimer's at the age
01:40:12.460 --> 01:40:15.479
of 83, six years ago, just before the pandemic,
01:40:15.659 --> 01:40:23.869
February 7th, 2020. She was very upright, very
01:40:23.869 --> 01:40:26.909
put together, very stylish. She was one of these
01:40:26.909 --> 01:40:29.550
people, people were always like, holy shit, Yvonne
01:40:29.550 --> 01:40:34.989
Rall with her style. And so that's why when she
01:40:34.989 --> 01:40:37.930
started turning up at Kroger's in her nightie
01:40:37.930 --> 01:40:40.310
at four o'clock in the morning. We knew things
01:40:40.310 --> 01:40:45.130
were fucking strange. She starts, she
01:40:45.130 --> 01:40:47.729
calls me one day. She goes, oh, I was at the
01:40:47.729 --> 01:40:50.069
bank. I had an incident at the bank. What happened?
01:40:50.069 --> 01:40:53.539
Oh, she said, I was in a spot they couldn't get
01:40:53.539 --> 01:40:56.960
out so I hit the gas and I hit the car
01:40:56.960 --> 01:41:00.500
in front of me, then I hit the car behind me, then
01:41:00.500 --> 01:41:02.239
I hit the car in front of me again. People came
01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:04.520
out and they were yelling at me so I just left.
01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:08.630
And then it turned out also at Kroger's she'd
01:41:08.630 --> 01:41:11.069
been like she would go to one time and hit
01:41:11.069 --> 01:41:14.670
15 cars at the Kroger car parking lot on her
01:41:14.670 --> 01:41:17.029
way out. This all be. Obviously I took the keys
01:41:17.029 --> 01:41:19.869
away from her after all this. But she was like
01:41:19.869 --> 01:41:23.449
and then I'm like, Mom, that's not right. And she
01:41:23.449 --> 01:41:26.590
goes, what? And I go, you think it's nice to
01:41:26.590 --> 01:41:28.470
come out from the parking lot and someone's
01:41:28.470 --> 01:41:30.609
bumped your car and they don't even leave you
01:41:30.609 --> 01:41:36.479
a note? And she goes, yeah, them. Now that's not
01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:39.109
my mom. That was not who she was. That's not the
01:41:39.109 --> 01:41:43.170
way she acted. No, not no. She was upright
01:41:43.170 --> 01:41:47.229
to a fault. And so to the point of
01:41:47.229 --> 01:41:49.569
ridiculousness, she was the kind of person who
01:41:49.569 --> 01:41:52.550
if she forgot, if she owed someone
01:41:52.550 --> 01:41:54.890
money, she would move heaven and earth to
01:41:54.890 --> 01:41:57.489
pay them back with interest. Right. She just wasn't
01:41:57.489 --> 01:42:01.539
that person. So clear, I'm not saying that Donald
01:42:01.539 --> 01:42:05.579
Trump was ever an upright person but far from
01:42:05.579 --> 01:42:10.369
it. But clearly he's changing. Right. 25th Amendment,
01:42:10.369 --> 01:42:15.899
he should be removed. He's yes, he seemed
01:42:15.899 --> 01:42:20.229
like he's out of his mind. He should be impeached.
01:42:20.229 --> 01:42:22.930
Donald Trump is monetizing the presidency
01:42:22.930 --> 01:42:27.850
like that by itself should be way out of field.
01:42:27.850 --> 01:42:30.789
Meaning I accept that previous presidents
01:42:30.789 --> 01:42:33.250
have done this but he's turned us into a franchise
01:42:33.250 --> 01:42:37.210
and foreign policy seems to go along with
01:42:37.210 --> 01:42:41.029
economic benefits for him and his family. He can
01:42:41.029 --> 01:42:42.850
pretend that that's not true all he wants, but
01:42:42.850 --> 01:42:44.609
there should obviously be an investigation into
01:42:44.609 --> 01:42:46.670
Donald Trump doing this. And the investigation
01:42:46.670 --> 01:42:48.890
would not just be for Trump. The investigation
01:42:48.890 --> 01:42:51.850
would also be to put a marker in the sand saying,
01:42:51.949 --> 01:42:56.109
this is a no-no. This is a no-no. We've set
01:42:56.109 --> 01:42:57.750
a standard in doing this. By
the way, they should
01:42:57.750 --> 01:43:00.329
have did this with George Bush in the Iraq war.
01:43:01.250 --> 01:43:03.970
At the very least, there's a question of whether
01:43:03.970 --> 01:43:06.229
Obama would have done the, quote, surge, whether
01:43:06.229 --> 01:43:08.109
Trump would have attacked Iran if indeed George
01:43:08.109 --> 01:43:10.500
Bush would have been impeached and put in a
01:43:10.500 --> 01:43:15.140
cage. So, yeah, I agree with you. I think he's
01:43:15.140 --> 01:43:19.340
going out of his mind. It is super ironic of
01:43:19.340 --> 01:43:20.899
all the attacks that used to be leveled at Joe
01:43:20.899 --> 01:43:23.300
Biden about dementia. And the Democrats are standing
01:43:23.300 --> 01:43:25.979
here acting as if Joe Biden wasn't
01:43:25.979 --> 01:43:28.020
having dementia. And yet you would have a few
01:43:28.020 --> 01:43:29.380
that would point out and say, hey, I think Donald
01:43:29.380 --> 01:43:31.680
Trump has dementia. OK, but you guys weren't
01:43:31.680 --> 01:43:34.479
saying that. But Joe Biden, who was diagnosed
01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:37.800
with cancer supposedly immediately after his
01:43:37.800 --> 01:43:41.489
term, which I believe they probably knew years
01:43:41.489 --> 01:43:44.390
in advance or beforehand. So yeah, the
01:43:44.390 --> 01:43:46.949
AI is super interesting on that because they
01:43:46.949 --> 01:43:49.989
would come up with an assessment, right? It was
01:43:49.989 --> 01:43:52.390
like, this person has obviously gone mentally
01:43:52.390 --> 01:43:55.770
insane. Yeah. Okay, well, I didn't need AI to
01:43:55.770 --> 01:43:58.350
tell me that. No. I didn't need them to tell
01:43:58.350 --> 01:44:01.109
me that. The thing is, it's like, so
01:44:01.109 --> 01:44:04.369
now, look, this is the Democrats' fault.
01:44:04.729 --> 01:44:06.649
They did establish this precedent with Trump.
01:44:06.649 --> 01:44:09.529
They, with Biden, they just
01:44:09.529 --> 01:44:12.649
let this happen and it was and the
01:44:12.649 --> 01:44:15.590
media was in on the fix. I remember in
01:44:15.590 --> 01:44:18.869
the grift. I remember the 2020 campaign, right,
01:44:18.869 --> 01:44:22.029
the one where Biden won and it was during the
01:44:22.029 --> 01:44:24.170
pandemic and he was doing all of those appearances
01:44:24.170 --> 01:44:28.750
from his basement. And one was a medical, a CNN
01:44:28.750 --> 01:44:32.390
medical town hall. And the purpose of it was
01:44:32.390 --> 01:44:36.770
to inform Americans with the, from
01:44:36.770 --> 01:44:39.670
the president directly about COVID and what the
01:44:39.670 --> 01:44:41.609
state of the pandemic was and what the government
01:44:41.609 --> 01:44:45.409
response was. And these were all softball questions
01:44:45.409 --> 01:44:47.970
coming from, I believe it was Anderson Cooper
01:44:47.970 --> 01:44:52.579
actually, where he was just basically like, they'd
01:44:52.579 --> 01:44:55.739
get a question from
a viewer and then give it
01:44:55.739 --> 01:44:58.319
to the president, to the, well, to the
01:44:58.319 --> 01:45:01.159
senator at that time, former vice president
01:45:01.159 --> 01:45:04.579
Biden and he'd have to answer it.
01:45:04.579 --> 01:45:11.069
He was completely unable to even remember
01:45:11.069 --> 01:45:14.250
what the question was, right? He and these
01:45:14.250 --> 01:45:17.130
were all softball. Nothing was a gotcha question.
01:45:17.130 --> 01:45:21.710
This would just be informative. This was
01:45:21.710 --> 01:45:25.100
before he was elected in 2020. Anyway, I was really
01:45:25.100 --> 01:45:28.199
appalled, and I wanted to find some clips from
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:32.180
this to put them online for my socials. And CNN
01:45:32.180 --> 01:45:35.079
always posts clips of these kind of appearances,
01:45:35.300 --> 01:45:38.239
right? So the clips were up. I go back the next
01:45:38.239 --> 01:45:41.840
morning to download them, and they'd been scrubbed.
01:45:42.300 --> 01:45:47.380
Wow. Wow. And I noticed moments like that happen
01:45:47.380 --> 01:45:49.899
over and over throughout the campaign. Well,
01:45:49.939 --> 01:45:51.720
I remember the debate. They couldn't hide it
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:56.590
when he debated Trump that night and it was
01:45:56.590 --> 01:46:01.229
humiliating. Well, that was like, yeah, it was like
01:46:01.229 --> 01:46:03.569
yeah, he looked like an old man. He just
01:46:03.569 --> 01:46:07.430
couldn't just couldn't do it and Donald
01:46:07.430 --> 01:46:09.489
Trump was taking pop shots at him just over and
01:46:09.489 --> 01:46:11.729
over and over and it wasn't even like it was
01:46:11.729 --> 01:46:15.920
ugly. Yeah, it just looked bad. It wasn't Trump's
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:17.260
fault by the way. Trump was just doing
01:46:17.260 --> 01:46:19.079
his job. The man put on his gloves. He can take
01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:22.090
a hit but it still looked like you were punching
01:46:22.090 --> 01:46:29.229
an old man. Yeah, that was the death knell. I
01:46:29.229 --> 01:46:30.810
mean, but that death knell never needed to take
01:46:30.810 --> 01:46:32.590
place if it would have been honored early on.
01:46:32.630 --> 01:46:34.050
It was like, OK, this guy shouldn't be here.
01:46:35.239 --> 01:46:37.579
Something similar for Trump, by the way, especially
01:46:37.579 --> 01:46:40.579
considering he's prosecuting two wars and running
01:46:40.579 --> 01:46:45.439
out of his mind. Yeah. And he doesn't have any.
01:46:45.539 --> 01:46:47.979
It's not like, one of the arguments
01:46:47.979 --> 01:46:50.600
we were told in the last two years of Biden was
01:46:51.060 --> 01:46:53.020
don't worry, he's surrounded by brilliant people
01:46:53.020 --> 01:46:56.500
who are running the country for him. That really
01:46:56.500 --> 01:47:01.880
wasn't true. But no one could be fooled into
01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:04.199
believing that's true about Donald Trump now.
01:47:04.479
--> 01:47:07.600
Oh, thank God we've got Marco Rubio and Pete
01:47:07.600 --> 01:47:10.680
Hegseth as the voices of sanity and competence.
01:47:11.140 --> 01:47:14.960
By the way, did you see the thing that the military
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:18.199
officials are retaining information in order
01:47:18.199 --> 01:47:20.180
to go after Hegseth in order to get him removed
01:47:20.180 --> 01:47:24.500
and prosecuted. No, do tell. All right. So there
01:47:24.500 --> 01:47:27.699
was a report. Take this with a grain of salt.
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:32.279
But there was a report that came out that pointed
01:47:32.279 --> 01:47:35.260
out that many military officials disagreed with
01:47:35.260 --> 01:47:39.739
what the military was doing, what Hegseth was
01:47:39.739 --> 01:47:43.140
doing, that he was ignoring legal reasoning
01:47:43.140 --> 01:47:45.300
and those type of things in regards to decisions
01:47:45.300 --> 01:47:47.659
that were being made. And that they were keeping
01:47:47.659 --> 01:47:49.960
tabs and keeping information. So when Democrats
01:47:49.960 --> 01:47:51.760
get in, that they can effectively get that information
01:47:51.760 --> 01:47:54.359
over. Now, the reason I believe this is because
01:47:54.359 --> 01:47:56.699
the military has been leaking like a sieve, trying
01:47:56.699 --> 01:47:59.560
to make the point of, we are not on board for
01:47:59.560 --> 01:48:02.859
this war. But they're following orders to some
01:48:02.859 --> 01:48:04.479
degree. Because a lot of the military
01:48:04.479 --> 01:48:05.699
- I don't think they like the Venezuela shit
01:48:05.699 --> 01:48:08.579
either. Well, a lot of them have been purged.
01:48:08.600 --> 01:48:10.460
That's the other thing. That Hegseth has been
01:48:10.460 --> 01:48:12.770
firing people left and right. And I suspect that
01:48:12.770 --> 01:48:14.529
they were fired because the people didn't necessarily
01:48:14.529 --> 01:48:16.989
want to do what Hegseth was telling them to do
01:48:16.989 --> 01:48:19.010
because they knew it was illegal. When you're
01:48:19.010 --> 01:48:21.090
murdering people in the Caribbean, OK, that's
01:48:21.090 --> 01:48:23.409
illegal. And when somebody gives you legal advice
01:48:23.409 --> 01:48:25.909
saying, hey, that's kind of illegal and you blow
01:48:25.909 --> 01:48:28.949
them off. Well, are they going to follow it in
01:48:28.949 --> 01:48:32.270
legal order? The answer is obviously yes. The
01:48:32.270 --> 01:48:34.810
answer is obviously yes. They follow illegal
01:48:34.810 --> 01:48:37.829
orders. Now the catch becomes, OK, but if the
01:48:37.829 --> 01:48:39.630
military is not on board for those illegal orders
01:48:39.630 --> 01:48:42.939
and they're keeping tabs in order to try to
01:48:42.939 --> 01:48:46.550
get you impeached after the fact. That's what
01:48:46.550 --> 01:48:49.149
they're trying to report that the military. I
01:48:49.149 --> 01:48:51.189
mean, they've been leaking like a sieve like nobody's
01:48:51.189 --> 01:48:55.619
business and off over and over again. It's
01:48:55.619 --> 01:48:58.779
hey, we're running out of missiles. We're running
01:48:58.779 --> 01:49:00.960
out of this. We're running out of that. There's
01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:02.579
no military solution. Meaning they're putting
01:49:02.579 --> 01:49:04.920
out stuff that tries to inhibit the capability
01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:06.600
of the White House to prosecute the war because
01:49:06.600 --> 01:49:09.060
they realize that the war is A, illegal and B,
01:49:09.369 --> 01:49:10.750
not going to do what they think it's going to
01:49:10.750 --> 01:49:15.229
do and C, may destroy the world's economy. Yeah.
01:49:15.609 --> 01:49:18.279
That's going to be interesting. That's going to
01:49:18.279 --> 01:49:20.859
be very interesting to say the least. Yeah.
01:49:20.859 --> 01:49:22.619
It's interesting. I've been reading
01:49:22.619 --> 01:49:25.319
the tea leaves in terms of Democratic comments
01:49:25.319 --> 01:49:27.960
about Hegseth like we're going to impeach Pete
01:49:27.960 --> 01:49:30.399
Hegseth and there's a certain they seem
01:49:30.399 --> 01:49:33.319
to have a little more confidence about that than
01:49:33.319 --> 01:49:36.100
you might. It's not like we're going to try to
01:49:36.100 --> 01:49:38.600
impeach him. It's like we're going to impeach him.
01:49:38.600 --> 01:49:42.079
I'm like, why are you so sure? Yeah, what
01:49:42.079 --> 01:49:44.479
you just told, what you just explained is kind
01:49:44.479 --> 01:49:47.880
of like might shed some light on that. Yeah.
01:49:48.390 --> 01:49:56.430
Yeah. Again, but I gotta say, look,
01:49:56.430 --> 01:49:58.609
Democrats might be saying a few things about
01:49:58.609 --> 01:50:00.489
Trump but basically they're portraying him more
01:50:00.489 --> 01:50:05.960
as a rude and a racist which is all true but
01:50:05.960 --> 01:50:08.779
that's the focus more than his mental acuity
01:50:08.779 --> 01:50:11.760
which it really should be that, right? It should
01:50:11.760 --> 01:50:13.979
be like we're, look, right now we're not talking
01:50:13.979 --> 01:50:17.199
about his politics, his policies, his tone.
01:50:17.199 --> 01:50:20.600
We're talking about whether he is mentally fit
01:50:20.600 --> 01:50:25.579
to perform this duty, right? And that's
01:50:25.579 --> 01:50:27.119
what they should focus on. They don't really do
01:50:27.119 --> 01:50:29.460
that. But it's hard to do that when you had Joe
01:50:29.460 --> 01:50:31.340
Biden in office and all of them were defending
01:50:31.340 --> 01:50:33.880
his, the integrity of his cognitive capabilities.
01:50:34.609 --> 01:50:36.590
Yeah. Although they could just be hypocritical
01:50:36.590 --> 01:50:39.329
and just pretend like that never happened. Which
01:50:39.329 --> 01:50:43.250
is a very political thing to do, right? Right.
01:50:43.310 --> 01:50:44.989
But they're not doing that, right? They could
01:50:44.989 -->
01:50:47.770
try. It wouldn't be a big deal. The fact that
01:50:47.770 --> 01:50:49.289
they're not trying tells me that this is just
01:50:49.289 --> 01:50:52.359
not... They don't care. Well, I think... I would
01:50:52.359 --> 01:50:55.079
tell you what I think. I think they, early on,
01:50:55.220 --> 01:50:58.579
came up with the political decision to let Trump
01:50:58.579 --> 01:51:02.609
be Trump. And you stand back and you let him
01:51:02.609 --> 01:51:05.850
fuck it up. That's what I think. Because
01:51:05.850 --> 01:51:08.670
it's really what they did. For the longest
01:51:08.670 --> 01:51:10.970
time, people were screaming at them. Why aren't
01:51:10.970 --> 01:51:12.409
you doing anything? Why aren't you doing anything?
01:51:12.590 --> 01:51:14.289
Why aren't you going against Trump? And when
01:51:14.289 --> 01:51:16.050
Joe Biden came out to put his toe in the water,
01:51:16.170 --> 01:51:17.930
all of them screamed at Joe Biden to go away.
01:51:18.050 --> 01:51:21.029
Go away. We don't need you. Go away. I think
01:51:21.029 --> 01:51:22.550
you're right. That's what they decided to do.
01:51:22.770 --> 01:51:26.710
When your enemy is making himself look like an
01:51:26.710 --> 01:51:29.649
asshole, just don't get in his way. I think it's
01:51:29.649 --> 01:51:31.729
that. I really believe it's that. I think they
01:51:31.729 --> 01:51:35.000
made that choice early on. That's sort of happening
01:51:35.000 --> 01:51:38.279
right now with this cartoonist who I hate and
01:51:38.279 --> 01:51:40.180
have written about, and he and I have feuded
01:51:40.180 --> 01:51:43.140
over the years. And he's kind of self-immolating,
01:51:43.300 --> 01:51:46.279
and I was really tempted to be like, this is
01:51:46.279 --> 01:51:48.880
exactly what I've always told you. And I'm like,
01:51:48.960 --> 01:51:52.500
zip it, Ted. Shut the fuck up. Don't say anything.
01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:56.739
Just let him talk. Just let him talk. Yeah, I
01:51:56.739 --> 01:51:58.479
think they looked at this and they said, this
01:51:58.479 --> 01:52:00.600
is going to be a disaster. I have a question.
01:52:01.539 --> 01:52:04.710
Do y'all think that Trump in his first, definitely
01:52:04.710 --> 01:52:07.329
his second term, has increased the powers of
01:52:07.329 --> 01:52:13.369
the presidency. Yes. 100%, yeah. Then I think
01:52:13.369 --> 01:52:14.970
instead of letting Trump self-destruct, I think
01:52:14.970 --> 01:52:16.729
that's what it is. Because whatever Trump does,
01:52:16.909 --> 01:52:18.569
the Democrats are going to inherit next time
01:52:18.569 --> 01:52:21.510
they get a president. That's true. As he accrues
01:52:21.510 --> 01:52:24.630
more power to the office. And they can smell
01:52:24.630 --> 01:52:28.770
a Democratic victory. Well, who can't? I mean,
01:52:29.310 --> 01:52:32.159
in 2018. I don't think this is them saying, let
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:34.579
Trump just self-immolate. I think this is just
01:52:34.579 --> 01:52:37.779
allowing him to further just build an imperial
01:52:37.779 --> 01:52:41.270
presidency. That way they can inherit it. I guess
01:52:41.270 --> 01:52:42.770
the question is what do they do with that imperial
01:52:42.770 --> 01:52:44.909
presidency that they wouldn't have done before?
01:52:46.819 --> 01:52:48.899
Donald Trump has been, a lot of
01:52:48.899 --> 01:52:50.880
what Trump has been doing has just been provocative
01:52:50.880 --> 01:52:54.060
action that has allowed him to gain space.
01:52:54.159 --> 01:52:56.420
He's throwing his weight around. So
01:52:56.420 --> 01:52:57.859
I'm going to go after Canada. I'm going to go
01:52:57.859 --> 01:52:59.380
after Europe. I'm going to do this. He's been
01:52:59.380 --> 01:53:02.380
cowing them. Meaning it's not like he had any
01:53:02.380 --> 01:53:04.100
additional presidential powers in doing so. He
01:53:04.100 --> 01:53:07.319
just took the power and just bent it to his will.
01:53:09.479 --> 01:53:12.779
He's building a presidential infrastructure.
01:53:12.779 --> 01:53:15.380
I don't think he has theoretical. He's expanded
01:53:15.380 --> 01:53:18.180
his theoretical constitutional powers beyond
01:53:18.180 --> 01:53:20.420
the Supreme Court decision that said that basically
01:53:20.420 --> 01:53:22.859
a president can do pretty much anything that
01:53:22.859 --> 01:53:24.859
he wants and not be held legally
01:53:24.859 --> 01:53:27.260
responsible, accountable for that. That's
01:53:27.260 --> 01:53:29.039
a Supreme Court thing. I think what he's done
01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:32.060
is he's expanded his infrastructure, for
01:53:32.060 --> 01:53:35.560
example by expanding ICE. Those
01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:39.829
are his personal SS. True. Well, not only
01:53:39.829 --> 01:53:46.210
that, he's also taking the power to impose taxes.
01:53:47.090 --> 01:53:49.130
Tariffs are supposed to be handled by Congress.
01:53:49.369 --> 01:53:52.529
They're a tax. Yeah, but it slapped him down
01:53:52.529 --> 01:53:55.899
on that. He's still doing it. Yeah, but it slapped
01:53:55.899 --> 01:53:57.899
him down on that. It's illegal. But he's still
01:53:57.899 --> 01:54:01.180
doing it. It won't last. And that can't be inherited
01:54:01.180 --> 01:54:05.289
because it won't last. But who knows? That's
01:54:05.289 --> 01:54:07.130
what that is, is it's easier to beg forgiveness
01:54:07.130 --> 01:54:09.210
than to ask them to get permission, right? It's
01:54:09.210 --> 01:54:10.890
that whole sort of, I'll fuck
01:54:10.890 --> 01:54:13.390
around with you. And while you're using the courts
01:54:13.390 --> 01:54:15.729
to get redressed, in the meantime, I'm fucking
01:54:15.729 --> 01:54:17.909
around with you. Well, to quote Andrew Jackson,
01:54:18.130 --> 01:54:21.029
the courts made this decision, now let them enforce
01:54:21.029 --> 01:54:24.430
it. Congress isn't enforcing anything. And if
01:54:24.430 --> 01:54:25.909
they're not going to enforce, if
they're happy
01:54:25.909 --> 01:54:28.760
to just cede that power, what difference does
01:54:28.760 --> 01:54:32.600
it make? Yeah, but it's a power that the Democrats
01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:36.279
are not. The Democrats at the party, I don't
01:54:36.279 --> 01:54:37.520
get the sense they're going to be using tariffs
01:54:37.520 --> 01:54:39.500
in the way that Donald Trump used tariffs. Well,
01:54:39.520 --> 01:54:42.300
not tariffs, but I'm just saying he's taking
01:54:42.300 --> 01:54:46.380
a power that is supposed to belong to the legislature
01:54:46.380 --> 01:54:48.960
and bringing it onto himself. I'm not talking
01:54:48.960 --> 01:54:51.340
about tariffs per se. I'm talking about that's
01:54:51.340 --> 01:54:54.840
the precedent. Congress has abdicated its power.
01:54:55.100 --> 01:54:57.960
I am going to take this power, whatever that
01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:00.140
power happens to be, just in Trump's case, it's
01:55:00.140 --> 01:55:02.439
tariffs. With the Democrats, who the hell knows
01:55:02.439 --> 01:55:04.319
what it could be? But that's my point. It's the
01:55:04.319 --> 01:55:08.359
principle, not the issue. If a Democrat is doing
01:55:08.359 --> 01:55:09.920
that, and there's a Republican Congress, they
01:55:09.920 --> 01:55:13.520
will yank his chain in a heartbeat. That's my
01:55:13.520 --> 01:55:16.250
take. I could be wrong. I accept what you're
01:55:16.250 --> 01:55:18.390
saying, that Trump is effectively taking powers.
01:55:18.909 --> 01:55:21.449
And if you don't do anything to try to stand
01:55:21.449 --> 01:55:23.609
against the president doing so, then the president
01:55:23.609 --> 01:55:26.550
is taking the power. In this case, it's illegal.
01:55:26.770 --> 01:55:29.449
I guess it's the catch. I don't know if you can
01:55:29.449 --> 01:55:30.989
hold on to that particular power. It's illegal.
01:55:33.680 --> 01:55:36.840
Taking Venezuela's government prisoner under
01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:40.399
Logan Act, federal gun law violations and put
01:55:40.399 --> 01:55:45.260
him in a prison is illegal. Attacking Iran is
01:55:45.260 --> 01:55:49.760
illegal. And neither political party in Congress
01:55:49.760 --> 01:55:52.500
has done anything to stop it. Nor will they.
01:55:53.079 --> 01:55:56.300
That's the point I'm taking. Trump is building
01:55:56.300 --> 01:55:58.649
an imperial presidency. These are the most recent
01:55:58.649 --> 01:56:00.430
polls. These are the last polls that we're going
01:56:00.430 --> 01:56:02.970
to see before the election. So these are the
01:56:02.970 --> 01:56:06.569
U.S. Senate races, right? El-Sayed leading in Michigan,
01:56:06.710 --> 01:56:08.609
according to the New York Times, Siena poll,
01:56:08.850 --> 01:56:14.510
53 to 42. I think that one's in the bag. If anything,
01:56:14.789 --> 01:56:17.449
I'm going to say that probably this thing with
01:56:17.449 --> 01:56:22.109
her probably only helps him with Haley Stevens.
01:56:23.470 --> 01:56:29.510
Texas, Talarico leads Paxton, 50 to 43. Sounds
01:56:29.510 --> 01:56:32.289
to me like he's got, Talarico's got that in
01:56:32.289 --> 01:56:36.750
the bag. Maine, Jackson beats Collins, 51 to
01:56:36.750 --> 01:56:43.090
45. Ohio, Sherrod Brown will return probably,
01:56:43.210 --> 01:56:46.649
49 to 44 against Husted. Husted will have to
01:56:46.649 --> 01:56:51.510
take his fine ass back to Trump land. Hamilton
01:56:52.239 --> 01:56:57.479
beats Marshall in Kansas, 49 to 44 probably.
01:56:57.479 --> 01:57:01.560
Then Alaska, despite all the skullduggery and
01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:04.699
everything, Peltola ahead barely. It's kind of
01:57:04.699 --> 01:57:10.279
a tie, 48 to 46. Iowa also kind of a tie. Turek
01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:15.260
beats Henson, 48 to 47. Those are all advantage
01:57:15.260 --> 01:57:19.359
Democrat. This is going to be a wave election.
01:57:19.359 --> 01:57:22.529
It will be. That's assuming that I'm right.
01:57:22.590 --> 01:57:24.229
And assuming that the polling is right, this
01:57:24.229 --> 01:57:25.710
is going to be a wave election. And then the
01:57:25.710 --> 01:57:27.989
catch becomes, what do you do with the power
01:57:27.989 --> 01:57:31.670
that you're given by the public? Not much. Obviously,
01:57:31.670 --> 01:57:33.449
you can't do anything while Trump is in office.
01:57:33.550 --> 01:57:36.350
Short of going after Trump. But if indeed
01:57:36.350 --> 01:57:38.090
you get a situation where you get a wave election
01:57:38.090 --> 01:57:40.390
and Democrats are able to maintain power on the
01:57:40.390 --> 01:57:42.130
other end of the election because Donald Trump
01:57:42.130 --> 01:57:44.369
is still going to be in office when he finally
01:57:44.369 --> 01:57:49.699
flames out, what do you do with the power? And
01:57:49.699 --> 01:57:53.449
if you don't do anything with it? And then, which
01:57:53.449 --> 01:57:55.489
you and I both know, they will not do anything
01:57:55.489 --> 01:57:59.779
significant with it. Nope. And that sucks. Because
01:57:59.779 --> 01:58:02.960
it's like, you may have, like when Obama took
01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:04.439
office that time. There should be hearings about
01:58:04.439 --> 01:58:07.720
this Venezuela shit. Yes, there should be. Because
01:58:07.720 --> 01:58:09.619
this shit is illegal. By the same token, I don't
01:58:09.619 --> 01:58:10.739
think there will be hearings because I don't
01:58:10.739 --> 01:58:12.060
think Democrats have an issue with him doing
01:58:12.060 --> 01:58:13.979
this shit. Even more than I think they have an
01:58:13.979 --> 01:58:15.640
issue with him doing the war. I think they're
01:58:15.640 --> 01:58:18.539
making hay of it. It's just the way they
01:58:18.539 --> 01:58:20.270
talk. They don't talk about it from the perspective
01:58:20.270 --> 01:58:21.989
of, okay, this is a criminal war of aggression
01:58:21.989 --> 01:58:24.029
against Iran, blah, blah, blah. They talk about
01:58:24.029 --> 01:58:27.250
it in very narrow terms in order to impeach and
01:58:27.250 --> 01:58:29.949
impugn Trump while also saying, Iran
01:58:29.949 --> 01:58:33.670
is a regime. It's a, the country is
01:58:33.670 --> 01:58:35.930
horrible and blah, blah, blah, but Donald Trump
01:58:35.930 --> 01:58:37.890
shouldn't have done it and et cetera. They
01:58:37.890 --> 01:58:40.869
do it that way. They fine-tune the way they go
01:58:40.869 --> 01:58:43.869
after it. No, it's unfortunate. They have that
01:58:43.869 --> 01:58:46.590
much power and not do anything about the things
01:58:46.590 --> 01:58:49.550
that matter. You have an opportunity to actually
01:58:49.550 --> 01:58:51.569
help the American people. History books
01:58:51.569 --> 01:58:56.270
are written in a way that lionize
01:58:56.270 --> 01:58:58.750
those who did something to help the American
01:58:58.750 --> 01:59:02.470
people. Yes. But nevertheless, these people,
01:59:02.529 --> 01:59:05.569
they get up every day and they don't try to be
01:59:05.569 --> 01:59:08.050
in the history books of the future. Nope. They're
01:59:08.050 --> 01:59:10.489
not interested. Democrats are going to win this,
01:59:10.489 --> 01:59:13.970
but not for anything that they've done. No. Which
01:59:13.970 --> 01:59:18.439
is sad. They don't deserve it. All right, with
01:59:18.439 --> 01:59:20.979
that, we will be back tomorrow, Election Day.
01:59:21.060 --> 01:59:22.819
It is Election Day, so we probably
01:59:22.819 --> 01:59:24.880
won't have no any, well, we won't know anything
01:59:24.880 --> 01:59:27.800
more tomorrow morning than we do right now about
01:59:27.800 --> 01:59:30.680
the elections, but it will be Election Day. We
01:59:30.680 --> 01:59:33.239
will be back here 9 a.m. Eastern Time. We go
01:59:33.239 --> 01:59:35.880
until 10 o'clock Eastern Time tomorrow, then
01:59:35.880 --> 01:59:39.079
TMI show tomorrow. Wednesday night, we'll be
01:59:39.079 --> 01:59:41.899
back for the full election coverage. Do stay.
01:59:41.899 --> 01:59:43.899
Come back tomorrow and Wednesday and we'll see
01:59:43.899 --> 01:59:46.039
you then. Thanks so much for tuning in. Thanks,
01:59:46.039 --> 01:59:49.420
Jamarl. Thanks, Robby. Ciao. Have a good one, guys.
01:59:49.420 --> 01:59:50.020
Bye.
