Deadly Plague Escapes Russian Lab | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

WEBVTT
00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:15.810
Good morning. You are watching DeProgram with
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:19.190
Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas. Jamarl Thomas is
00:00:19.190 --> 00:00:22.469
presumably wrapping up his morning show and will
00:00:22.469 --> 00:00:25.510
be with us shortly. Here's what we've got teed
00:00:25.510 --> 00:00:28.170
up for you this morning. President Trump says
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.550
that the United States is willing to help the
00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:34.969
Russian Federation if Russia requests assistance.
00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:38.649
I think that's highly unlikely. But pneumonic
00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:43.189
plague has escaped from a research lab in eastern
00:00:43.189 --> 00:00:47.130
Russia, in Irkutsk Oblast, and it has killed a
00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:50.189
lab worker there. We'll tell you about plague
00:00:50.189 --> 00:00:54.549
and exactly what it all means. 1,800 high schools
00:00:54.549 --> 00:00:58.189
and 90% of the universities in France are currently
00:00:58.189 --> 00:01:01.789
either closed or blockaded, and therefore effectively
00:01:01.789 --> 00:01:05.349
closed, as protests now spread from the students
00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:09.150
in their second week of protests into the parents,
00:01:09.349 --> 00:01:11.790
university students, and the nation's biggest
00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:15.989
union, the CGT. Leaders in California are denouncing
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:19.829
Donald Trump as reckless and deranged after Trump
00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:22.670
was talking at a rally and suggested that Iran
00:01:22.670 --> 00:01:26.510
might want to take out Los Angeles and San Diego.
00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:29.209
Suggested that implied that he might be okay
00:01:29.209 --> 00:01:31.390
with it. Meanwhile, Trump's approval ratings are
00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:35.590
down to 32. That's a record low for him. China
00:01:35.590 --> 00:01:38.530
has opened its first overseas air force base,
00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:41.569
not in the world. They have one in Djibouti in
00:01:41.569 --> 00:01:45.590
Africa, but in Asia. This one is in Laos, and Americans
00:01:45.590 --> 00:01:47.989
are freaking out because they didn't see it coming.
00:01:47.989 --> 00:01:52.189
And in Germany, the federal prosecutor's office
00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:56.340
has detained the former head of the BND, which
00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:00.159
is the CIA of Germany. He was in charge back
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.959
in the late '90s and early aughts. He's accused
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.640
of spying, and there's lots of drama affiliated
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.719
with that. And Dennis Hastert and Jimmy Swaggart,
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.199
the most moral of all people who have ever lived,
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.000
have died. May they rest in peace. Good morning,
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.740
Jamarl. How are you? I'm doing fine. How's it going
00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:21.310
this morning? Good. I'm just imagining the afterlife
00:02:21.310 --> 00:02:24.189
cocktail party where Jimmy Swaggart hangs out
00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:27.849
with Dennis Hastert. Both of them drop dead at
00:02:27.849 --> 00:02:30.590
the same time? Uh-huh. Yep. I'm sure they're
00:02:30.590 --> 00:02:32.810
in the same place, wherever that is. Well, I
00:02:32.810 --> 00:02:34.909
don't believe in an afterlife, but I always imagine
00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:37.830
an afterlife cocktail party. James Baker died,
00:02:37.930 --> 00:02:40.289
too. Oh, sorry. Not Jimmy Swaggart. I was thinking
00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:41.830
of James Baker. That's who I was thinking of.
00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:45.560
I always confuse those two. Okay. Wow. The two
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.400
fake Christians who start with a J. Yeah, that's
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.719
how my mind thinks. Okay, so we have... You heard
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.919
what we've got to talk about? Oh, please follow
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.719
and share. Today is our one-hour show, so we have
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.099
a lot to pack in in the remaining 57 minutes.
00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:05.430
We do this Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 9
00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:08.770
to 11. We do it Tuesdays and Thursdays from
00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:11.490
9 to 10. TMI show coming up at 10 on Tuesdays
00:03:11.490 --> 00:03:15.250
and Thursdays. We do appreciate, and we need your
00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:19.849
support, so please do that if you can. And I'm
00:03:19.849 --> 00:03:21.330
trying to think what else there is to say. Okay,
00:03:21.409 --> 00:03:24.990
I think that's pretty much it. I'm kind of interested
00:03:24.990 --> 00:03:27.729
in all these stories. Charles, why don't you
00:03:27.729 --> 00:03:33.590
pick? Let's go with the protests. Okay, yeah, let's
00:03:33.590 --> 00:03:37.280
go to the protest. By the way, yeah, it's spread
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.030
to Belgium. Oh, really? Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I was
00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:43.909
watching the kids basically wreck stuff in Belgium
00:03:43.909 --> 00:03:46.509
and fight the cops and all this other stuff. And
00:03:46.509 --> 00:03:48.710
what they see: the protests are always
00:03:48.710 --> 00:03:50.729
risky because they can always be categorized
00:03:50.729 --> 00:03:53.490
as, what does this violence have to do with the
00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:55.610
thing that you actually want? And that's what
00:03:55.610 --> 00:03:56.949
they're saying. They're saying, well, what does this
00:03:56.949 --> 00:03:59.409
violence have to do with what does
00:03:59.409 --> 00:04:01.310
come to school at eight o'clock, and what does
00:04:01.310 --> 00:04:04.110
this attacking teachers have to do with whatever
00:04:04.110 --> 00:04:06.490
is effectively taking place? And France is more
00:04:06.490 --> 00:04:08.810
clear. In France, because it's a political issue.
00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:13.449
In Belgium, I'm kind of unclear on the rationale.
00:04:13.449 --> 00:04:15.490
They're making the argument: class size.
00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:20.029
We want, I don't know, we want to come to
00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:22.889
school at eight o'clock. We want, et cetera, et
00:04:22.889 --> 00:04:26.199
cetera. I don't know. They seem slightly different
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.350
to me. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know the
00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:31.910
situation in Belgium. I have to say,
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.939
I'm really surprised even by the French complaints.
00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:39.040
The French system prided itself on
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.740
equity and equality within the system,
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:44.759
and obviously nothing's ever perfect,
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.279
but having attended and visited and spoken
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.500
at French public high schools in the past
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.019
on book tour and everything, I was always super
00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:57.480
impressed by what a well-run system
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.100
it was. And I just, obviously, I haven't
00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:03.959
been there for the last five, ten years in those
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.360
schools. So what the hell has happened,
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.319
right? I've got to think it's austerity.
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.439
I've got to think that the government is just
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.000
not dedicating the financial resources needed
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.100
to run the schools properly, and that
00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:19.300
it's driving the kids crazy. Certainly,
00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:21.790
the hours have gotten longer. I don't get that
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:25.709
at all. It's from eight to six in France, which
00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:29.459
is insane. People don't work eight to
00:05:29.459 --> 00:05:32.920
six. Yeah, that's insane. They have a 32-hour
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.680
work week in France. What do they expect?
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.959
Are they taking classes the entire time?
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:40.779
Whether they're taking classes or not, that time
00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:43.459
frame is insane. It's too long. And then they
00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:44.860
have to wake up in the morning and do the same
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.269
thing over again. Yeah, you have to be up at
00:05:48.269 --> 00:05:52.110
6 in the morning and get to school, and then
00:05:52.110 --> 00:05:54.750
you're not really home until maybe 6:30 or 7,
00:05:55.009 --> 00:05:57.370
right? In the winter, it's
00:05:57.370 --> 00:06:00.889
dark. Pardon? What was the reason for it? Because
00:06:00.889 --> 00:06:05.490
I remember being in school, and I think we used
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:07.509
to get out around 3:30 or something like that.
00:06:08.569 --> 00:06:12.689
What are you doing that late into the
00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:15.310
day? Is it just advantageous for parents,
00:06:15.310 --> 00:06:17.129
because parents are at home at the time when
00:06:17.129 --> 00:06:18.829
the kids get home? Yes, that's what it's saying
00:06:18.829 --> 00:06:22.189
here. It's saying that, okay, so what's basically
00:06:22.189 --> 00:06:26.050
going on here is so the parents can pick
00:06:26.050 --> 00:06:29.060
up. They can drop off their kids before work and
00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:31.839
pick them up after work. That's primarily. Oh,
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.420
and also they do have the long lunch break, but
00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:36.120
they used to have the long break run through.
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:37.680
It's France, right? So they have a
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.300
one- to two-hour lunch break, so kids can go home
00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:42.600
or... They have a two-hour lunch break in France.
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.350
Oh, yeah. It used to be two to three. It's France,
00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:51.110
man. France is a civilized country. And
00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:55.110
also, traditionally, elementary school
00:06:55.110 --> 00:06:58.970
kids used to have Wednesday off, so they would
00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:02.269
jam in the extra hours for the rest of the week,
00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:04.490
or they'd have a half day on Saturday sometimes.
00:07:04.490 --> 00:07:07.370
It's no wonder France loses all of its wars. These
00:07:07.370 --> 00:07:09.470
people are so soft and weak. This is pathetic.
00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:13.139
Well, let me just say, a bunch of cream puffs.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.019
France has the highest per capita productivity
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:20.660
in the world, far higher than the United States.
00:07:20.779 --> 00:07:23.620
Their workers are far more productive than ours
00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:26.220
in a far shorter amount of time. So we should
00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:28.279
be taking some clues from them. So that's why
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.759
they're burning the country down? Because it
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.269
impacts their schedules? You have to admit they're
00:07:36.269 --> 00:07:38.310
very productive at burning the country down. They're
00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:40.290
doing it in a very efficient way. Yeah, well, that
00:07:40.290 --> 00:07:42.069
way they can import migrants to rebuild it, since
00:07:42.069 --> 00:07:44.689
they can do jobs that French people won't do. Hey,
00:07:44.689 --> 00:07:46.730
that reconstruction, it's gonna
00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:49.170
drive the economy. Every school you
00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:50.949
burn down is a new school that has to be built.
00:07:50.949 --> 00:07:57.290
Is that the way you think about it? Yeah, that's
00:07:57.290 --> 00:07:59.370
what generated the post-war economy of Japan,
00:07:59.370 --> 00:08:04.579
right? No, but seriously. Two-hour lunches
00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:07.199
is insane, Ted. And maybe they should just say,
00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:09.620
look, let's do 30 minutes and we'll get off at
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:12.139
3:30 in the evening and call it a day.
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.959
They can't have it both ways. Well, I think it
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:19.860
has more to do. They're padding it with a long
00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:23.500
lunch in order to extend the day so that kids'
00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.680
parents can pick up their kids after school.
00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:28.490
They get off work at 5. They drive over to the
00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:32.049
school at 5:45, pick up their kids. Look,
00:08:32.169 --> 00:08:34.370
there needs to be a better way.
00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:36.809
There's just, obviously, the kids are saying there
00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:39.409
needs to be a better way. Fix it. We don't care
00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:43.090
how. Fix it. Well, for one, there are so many assumptions
00:08:43.090 --> 00:08:45.409
built into that. Why are they assuming the parents
00:08:45.409 --> 00:08:48.029
get off at that particular time frame?
00:08:48.049 --> 00:08:49.690
Parents could get off at three. They can get
00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:51.860
off at two. Hell, maybe they work at home. Oh,
00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:54.139
France is a far more regimented country than
00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:56.659
ours. They don't have... It's
00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:58.679
definitely most... Sure, there are people
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.559
who work night shift and stuff like that,
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.460
but the vast majority of people really do get
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:06.419
off at five. So also, what does it matter
00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:09.039
if they got off at five? The kids just go home,
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.019
right? Latchkey kids. Yeah, let yourself
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:17.429
in. So they don't trust their kids. Go home
00:09:17.429 --> 00:09:19.009
and watch Gilligan's Island, like you're supposed
00:09:19.009 --> 00:09:22.470
to. Exactly. So the French don't trust their kids.
00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:27.649
And Star Trek reruns. I know. Nostalgic.
00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:32.149
So France doesn't trust their kids to go home by
00:09:32.149 --> 00:09:36.090
themselves. Or maybe they think it's uncivilized,
00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:38.269
or that the kids need to be supervised,
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:42.009
not necessarily a trust issue. It's
00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:44.629
cultural. A lot of people feel,
00:09:44.629 --> 00:09:47.710
look, as a parent, I felt very privileged
00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:50.929
to be able to drop my kid off and pick him up
00:09:50.929 --> 00:09:54.100
after school when he was little. It
00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:56.299
just felt good. It gave me the warm fuzzies. I
00:09:56.299 --> 00:09:59.179
didn't think he was unsafe making his way home
00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:01.820
on the bus or by himself. I'm sure he could. No
00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:03.740
worries, no muss, no fuss. I lived in a very safe place,
00:10:03.740 --> 00:10:07.539
but it's... I'm not one of those
00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:09.980
stranger-danger parents.
00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:12.820
I totally think it's cool. I have no problem,
00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:15.759
even in New York City, with the Lenore Skenazy
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.919
thing of letting your kid take the subway home
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.779
in second grade. You absolutely should be able
00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:24.220
to. I took the bus to downtown Dayton,
00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:26.700
which was pretty spicy when I was a kid, when
00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:29.139
I was in second, third grade. No muss, no fuss,
00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:33.240
no problem. It made me the man I am today. So,
00:10:33.490 --> 00:10:35.909
but I think the bigger issues
00:10:35.909 --> 00:10:39.490
here are, obviously, this is a bigger issue. It's
00:10:39.490 --> 00:10:42.570
kind of when we talk with Robby about how
00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:44.690
the government hates us and doesn't take care
00:10:44.690 --> 00:10:48.070
of us, and the Israel and the
00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:51.190
Ukraine thing. It's framed also
00:10:51.190 --> 00:10:53.669
within the context of we're not getting the things
00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:56.350
we need, like health care and infrastructure, in
00:10:56.350 --> 00:10:59.149
this country. I think what's going on in France
00:10:59.149 --> 00:11:01.450
is similar. They're looking at the social contract.
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:03.950
They're sending money to Ukraine
00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:07.049
also, and they're dealing, and their government
00:11:07.049 --> 00:11:09.629
seems to have all sorts of priorities, and the
00:11:09.629 --> 00:11:11.710
kids and the parents look around at their schools
00:11:11.710 --> 00:11:13.990
that are falling apart and their teachers who
00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.789
aren't getting raises, and they wonder where the
00:11:16.789 --> 00:11:19.429
fuck is the money from this incredibly robust
00:11:19.429 --> 00:11:22.950
economy going? And it's a good, it's a very valid
00:11:22.950 --> 00:11:25.889
question, and that's why they're pissed off. And
00:11:25.889 --> 00:11:28.789
unlike us, they're willing to do something about
00:11:28.789 --> 00:11:31.110
it. I want to... I think this is notable, and we do
00:11:31.110 --> 00:11:32.669
have a lot to talk about today, so we probably
00:11:32.669 --> 00:11:34.970
shouldn't linger too much on this, but I think
00:11:34.970 --> 00:11:38.269
what's notable here is the solidarity. I love
00:11:38.269 --> 00:11:40.710
the fact that the parents are walking alongside
00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:44.450
their students. I like the fact that the CGT,
00:11:44.549 --> 00:11:47.409
which is the former communist labor union, which
00:11:47.409 --> 00:11:49.710
is the biggest labor union in France, it's like
00:11:49.710 --> 00:11:52.769
the AFL-CIO, that they are joining the students
00:11:52.769 --> 00:11:55.809
and calling for a national strike, that firefighters
00:11:55.809 --> 00:11:58.450
are on strike, which makes it spicy when the
00:11:58.450 --> 00:12:04.730
fires are starting. Yes, yes. It's... I
00:12:04.730 --> 00:12:06.990
just love that solidarity. Could you imagine
00:12:06.990 --> 00:12:09.289
how much the left could get done in this country,
00:12:09.289 --> 00:12:12.190
or populists in general could get
00:12:12.190 --> 00:12:14.970
done if we had that level of solidarity?
00:12:14.970 --> 00:12:18.210
Whenever someone who's beleaguered,
00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:20.129
if the air traffic controllers went on strike
00:12:20.129 --> 00:12:22.710
in the early '80s and everyone else went
00:12:22.710 --> 00:12:25.029
with them. Well, they wouldn't have been fired
00:12:25.029 --> 00:12:26.909
by Reagan. They couldn't have been. They would
00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:29.549
have all been protected. They look out
00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:31.909
for each other in France. Solidarity is a national
00:12:31.909 --> 00:12:35.070
value. And we don't. I think we could
00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:38.870
take a note. No, I agree. The rugged
00:12:38.870 --> 00:12:41.029
individualist thing, which was always a myth,
00:12:41.250 --> 00:12:46.340
is pervasive. It just is. You don't know. Your
00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:49.649
problems are your own. You figure it out. Yeah.
00:12:49.929 --> 00:12:55.220
We got some comments. Okay. Mr. Ali says, the
00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:59.779
French are lazy fucks. Philip Blair: France only
00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:04.789
recently lost Burkina Faso. Neocolonialism never
00:13:04.789 --> 00:13:08.629
ended. And, well, that's true. By the way, we
00:13:08.629 --> 00:13:10.509
never even talked about that, the effect
00:13:10.509 --> 00:13:12.389
that that has on France. France was able
00:13:12.389 --> 00:13:15.809
to use its colonies to extract wealth from those
00:13:15.809 --> 00:13:18.049
colonies, like uranium, without necessarily paying
00:13:18.049 --> 00:13:20.529
the actual value for the uranium. Well, now they've
00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:23.320
got to pay a regular price. Yeah, that's true.
00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:26.879
All that stuff gets expensive. And
00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:29.080
France has, unfortunately, they still have,
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.480
despite the revolution, a rigid
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.080
class system. And that's also always holding
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.539
them back. They have... We're
00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:38.279
getting to that point, too, where we have low
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.139
to no class mobility. But in France, that's been
00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:43.620
a longstanding problem, even when their economy
00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:47.159
was better. Mackinac says, Robby, shirt and
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:51.220
hat arrived today. Very good quality. Robby,
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.179
which shirt and hat are we talking about here?
00:13:55.299 --> 00:14:00.669
So, on my channel, I've got a link called shop.westglaciamedia.com.
00:14:00.669 --> 00:14:04.690
And so I have a couple
00:14:04.690 --> 00:14:08.129
of really nice things. So I've got Vlad the Impaler
00:14:08.129 --> 00:14:11.669
on a shirt. It says, "Bad neighbors make great
00:14:11.669 --> 00:14:18.259
fences." And it's quite nice. I've got all kinds
00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:21.980
of merch. I have put together a Deport That Heifer
00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:26.820
shirt and coffee cup. And I've actually got one
00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.159
of them. And yeah, that's what I'm doing. Making
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.980
friends in all the right places. By the way,
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:34.740
Robby, I owe you an apology from yesterday.
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:40.240
I was far too strong on the software thing. The
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.169
thing that I didn't believe was the... I think,
00:14:45.169 --> 00:14:46.990
in my mind, when I think about it, I think I
00:14:46.990 --> 00:14:50.470
was making the distinction between... I don't
00:14:50.470 --> 00:14:51.529
know what it is. I think it was the software
00:14:51.529 --> 00:14:54.330
thing for some reason. Or the idea that code...
00:14:54.549 --> 00:14:57.149
And maybe I misunderstood. Code can be created
00:14:57.149 --> 00:15:02.269
that does not have bugs, or that doesn't. It always
00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:04.090
has bugs. But what you do, though, is that you
00:15:04.090 --> 00:15:06.649
use telemetry to find, especially the bugs that
00:15:06.649 --> 00:15:08.789
always appear, the ones that just kind of sneak
00:15:08.789 --> 00:15:11.549
in. If you have telemetry, you're able to go
00:15:11.549 --> 00:15:14.529
in and find what happens to make this happen.
00:15:15.049 --> 00:15:17.210
And so that's what I do. So basically, with my
00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:19.289
model, so I've got the model, but I've got Python
00:15:19.289 --> 00:15:21.669
scaffolding around it. So every time I run something,
00:15:21.750 --> 00:15:23.730
it generates a JSON file. And so that's what
00:15:23.730 --> 00:15:28.799
I do. I understand that. Keep it simple. I don't
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.860
think it's simple, but fair enough. I guess my
00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:33.639
point is, you have my apologies. I was far too
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.899
strong on the "I don't believe it" thing. No, it's
00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:38.600
fine. You don't have to. I would argue that all
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.360
code has bugs. Of course it does. Well, that's
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.929
why I audit. That's the whole point. I'm not
00:15:43.929 --> 00:15:46.110
saying it's perfect. I'm saying the exact opposite
00:15:46.110 --> 00:15:48.769
of that. Listen, I'm building something. My
00:15:48.769 --> 00:15:50.690
family tree goes straight up. I have very little
00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:53.129
genetic diversity. I'm a man from the Deep South.
00:15:53.370 --> 00:15:59.399
So I'm baking my stupidity into it. Okay. I hear
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.450
you. No, I am building this on the assumption
00:16:02.450 --> 00:16:04.730
I'm going to screw everything up. And I also
00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:06.889
understand that if it's not written down, it
00:16:06.889 --> 00:16:11.320
never happened. So that's what I do. Okay. It's
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:17.519
all logs. Okay. Okay, so let's see. A couple
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:23.279
comments here. Nietzsche: if you were a girl
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.240
in second grade, would you be okay? I guess if
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.059
you had a second-grade daughter, would you be
00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:35.840
okay with her being on the subway? Yes. No. Philip
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.779
Blair: remember when Hillary Clinton and the
00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:39.759
French government overthrew the government of
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:45.019
Libya? I do remember. Very few people do. Yeah.
00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:48.850
It was Sarkozy, if I remember correctly. It sure
00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:54.710
was. Imbecile. Okay, so what should we talk about?
00:16:54.789 --> 00:16:58.490
Should we talk about Trump? Yeah, that approval
00:16:58.490 --> 00:17:00.710
rating is insane. He's going to hit the
00:17:00.710 --> 00:17:04.089
20s. He is going to hit the 20s. When he resumes
00:17:04.089 --> 00:17:06.529
the war, that number is going to drop to the
00:17:06.529 --> 00:17:12.069
20s. Yeah, yeah. And by the way, I've never seen
00:17:12.069 --> 00:17:13.650
an approval rating this low. I thought George
00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:16.069
Bush was going to be the lowest in the history.
00:17:16.069 --> 00:17:20.369
Not so much. I saw ratings like this because I'm
00:17:20.369 --> 00:17:23.809
older than you. Richard Nixon, a few months, a month
00:17:23.809 --> 00:17:26.730
or two before his resignation, he was down
00:17:26.730 --> 00:17:29.809
to 28, I think. But this is, yeah, no, you're right.
00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:32.369
In the modern era, this is unprecedented.
00:17:32.369 --> 00:17:34.670
I was going to ask you. You like sports,
00:17:34.670 --> 00:17:36.930
and to me this feels a little bit like a sports
00:17:36.930 --> 00:17:40.420
phenomenon. When sports fans turn,
00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:42.779
give up on a team, and they turn against that
00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:44.900
team, they kind of think it's their
00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:46.960
hometown team. They love them, but they're,
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:50.039
these guys are losers, and the bleachers empty
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.619
out, and people just don't go to the games.
00:17:52.619 --> 00:17:54.859
Isn't there kind of a crowd effect where people
00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:57.059
just stop going? They just stop caring.
00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.779
They just stop going. They just stop caring.
00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:02.660
And society in that town kind
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:05.559
of gives permission to each other to stop
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.099
rooting for the team. That's what this feels
00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:11.099
like to me. It feels, for a lot of Republicans,
00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:16.099
they now have permission to turn. If you see
00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:19.740
the approval rating dropping, it has a snowball
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:22.839
effect where you look at it and you think, wow,
00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:26.460
at 32 percent, lots of other conservatives
00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:29.039
are now turning against Trump. They have to be,
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.359
because the country's 50-50, right? So maybe
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.500
it makes you... Maybe if Trump
00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.559
was at 55, you're, oh, I'm good. That's
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.839
half, more than half the country. He was
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.059
never at that. He was like 45, 47. But at that
00:18:47.059 --> 00:18:48.619
point, you're, well, that's half the country,
00:18:48.619 --> 00:18:50.740
and I'm half the country. I'm a Republican. But
00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:53.819
at this point, you start to think, huh, the tide's
00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:56.700
running out. Maybe I should abandon ship, too.
00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:59.619
I do know what you mean. So
00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:01.619
I am not a big fan of sports. Chess is
00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:04.839
a sport. Well, I define it as a sport. Oh, I
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.660
thought you liked football, but team sports, not
00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:09.940
a huge fan of. I do like football. Yeah,
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.940
I do like football. I do like football, and I can
00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:15.359
be caught watching basketball on a random occasion,
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.759
or at the very least I can enjoy the sports.
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.839
So fair enough. I accept that. Yeah, I agree with
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.700
you. The reason that people fight so hard
00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:27.119
for high approval ratings is because they like
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:28.960
to be able to say, well, look at all of these
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.380
people that care about me and back
00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:33.240
me and support me. And there's some kind of weird
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.460
effect with human beings where if a crowd backs
00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:37.980
something, then that somehow gives it some kind
00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:41.259
of legitimacy. It's not real, but it's just the
00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:42.900
way it works. Maybe just because we
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:44.480
have higher numbers, you have a higher military,
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.259
and how your military by definition can usually
00:19:46.259 --> 00:19:48.779
win wars. Maybe it's that, some kind of psychological
00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:51.940
thing. But there's an odd effect of a crowd giving
00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:54.619
legitimacy to something, even if the crowd is
00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:57.980
wrong. It still gives it legitimacy. The mandate
00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:00.900
of heaven, right? Yeah, yeah. The mandate of
00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:02.559
heaven. That's the Chinese thing, right? Well,
00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:05.059
it's, look, it doesn't matter if we have
00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:10.039
this big-D democratic state, et cetera. If we
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.160
get 90 or 80% of the population believing that
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.640
we're doing the right thing, but damn it, leave
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.160
us to our devices. We're doing the right thing.
00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:17.640
It's kind of that. And on some level, you give
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.420
them credit for that, right? I give you grace.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.859
Everybody believes you're doing the right thing.
00:20:21.940 --> 00:20:23.859
I give you grace. The issue with it is when you
00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.319
do the wrong thing, how do you change that process,
00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:29.880
right? But that's a side. For Trump, Trump's
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.200
biggest strength in the Republican Party was
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.410
that he had the momentum. If you remember,
00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:38.690
during the elections and everything else, as
00:20:38.690 --> 00:20:41.019
much as people hated him, he had a good 35,
00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:44.140
40% of the Republican Party in lock, that he
00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:46.579
can just move from place to place to place and
00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:50.119
win the elections. And that conferred power in
00:20:50.150 --> 00:20:51.730
the Republican Party from the standpoint of Donald
00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:54.109
Trump. Hence, you get a Congress where you can
00:20:54.109 --> 00:20:56.910
bully, you can browbeat, you can attack. Hell,
00:20:57.009 --> 00:21:00.289
Marjorie Taylor Greene left office. Thomas Massie
00:21:00.289 --> 00:21:04.170
was taken out. Jewish lobby, true, or Zionist
00:21:04.170 --> 00:21:07.150
lobby. But also with Donald Trump screaming and
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.779
yelling at him. Hell, if you remember, Thomas Massie
00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:14.160
even made an ad pretending as if he and Trump
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.700
were still on the same page when obviously they
00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:21.160
weren't, right? That's power, right? What happens
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.400
when you hit 30 approval and everybody knows
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.079
it, and you get 80% of the public saying we hate
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.359
what he's doing on the economy, and the economy
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.480
was the one thing that Donald Trump, he wanted
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.240
many things, but the main thing, the thrust of
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.660
his argument that he wins on. He's now 80% in
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:42.819
the hole. That looks horrendous, right? And Donald
00:21:42.819 --> 00:21:46.759
Trump is still oblivious to this. And in fact,
00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:48.480
I don't believe he's oblivious at all. I think
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.920
he knows. I don't think he's oblivious either.
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.700
I think he knows how bad this is. And yet he's
00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:55.519
going on the campaign trail. He's doing,
00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:58.539
he's still doing stump speeches, like this was
00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:01.359
his first term, but only in deep, deep, deep
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:05.059
red districts. That may be true. Right. But he
00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:08.259
is toxic. And he's still doing that shit. And,
00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:11.779
sorry, you are seeing in purple districts some
00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:14.160
Republican candidates who always backed him
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.759
to the hilt in the last two months or so saying,
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.720
Mr. President, thank you so much
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.619
for your support, but it's kind of OK if I got
00:22:22.619 --> 00:22:25.119
this. I'll do this on my own. Yeah, I don't need
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.680
you. Well, Republicans are about to lose Montana.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.339
That's amazing. That's amazing. I don't
00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:34.500
know if you had a chance to look at what I shared.
00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:38.230
Our governor is in India right now, right now.
00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:42.069
So first Trump goes in and he imports all this
00:22:42.069 --> 00:22:45.410
crap Argentine beef that just screws over Montana
00:22:45.410 --> 00:22:48.849
ranchers. Now our beloved governor is in India
00:22:48.849 --> 00:22:51.069
right now talking about how we need more H-1B
00:22:51.069 --> 00:22:53.430
visa holders and more Indian students to come
00:22:53.430 --> 00:22:57.250
to Montana universities because not enough Montanans
00:22:57.250 --> 00:23:00.450
are going to the schools and stuff. And so instead
00:23:00.450 --> 00:23:04.710
of addressing the actual issues, depressed wages,
00:23:05.410 --> 00:23:09.049
the cost of housing, instead, he's going to go
00:23:09.049 --> 00:23:12.349
to India and bring over more people to put further
00:23:12.349 --> 00:23:15.009
stress on those. I would not be surprised if
00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:17.230
people start burning Greg Gianforte effigies
00:23:17.230 --> 00:23:20.069
in the streets at this point. Well, they shouldn't
00:23:20.069 --> 00:23:22.710
do that. Look. No, they should march
00:23:22.710 --> 00:23:24.829
on Helena and burn the Capitol down.
00:23:24.829 --> 00:23:27.690
That's the full threat of betrayal. What they're
00:23:27.690 --> 00:23:30.910
doing in France right now, I agree with it. It
00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:34.609
should be. This is how you do protests. The idea,
00:23:34.670 --> 00:23:37.549
the idea that, I'm sorry, it annoys me.
00:23:37.789 --> 00:23:40.349
The idea that it's, we don't have enough
00:23:40.349 --> 00:23:42.779
students in our universities. And the response
00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:44.440
isn't, well, maybe we should make university
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.880
free to try to get more people into the university.
00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:48.920
Hell, if you want to say the government gives
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.799
a stipend in order for people to go, so those
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.960
universities still get money for the people going,
00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:56.200
I don't care. You could do that. Right. You have
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.980
a shortage of nurses. You have a shortage of
00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:59.640
doctors. You have a shortage of all of these
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:01.180
particular things that we need people to do.
00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:03.559
And yet the issue is not that you don't have
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.859
enough people in your country to do them. You
00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:07.920
don't have enough people qualified to do them.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.619
And I would argue, in large part, probably because
00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:12.460
they can't afford to go to school, or going to
00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:14.759
school is such an exorbitant cost that it doesn't
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.859
necessarily make sense in the context of their
00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:20.440
life. Exactly. It's a great place to live, but
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.539
you can't make a living here. Yeah. And so his
00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:23.839
response is we need to get people from India.
00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:26.869
Obviously, that's a solution. That's obviously
00:24:26.869 --> 00:24:31.930
the solution. It got so bad, the U.S.
00:24:31.950 --> 00:24:34.289
ambassador to India had to turn off the comments
00:24:34.289 --> 00:24:39.390
on his post because he was getting roasted. Now,
00:24:39.430 --> 00:24:43.289
God bless him. Lucas, our representative here
00:24:43.289 --> 00:24:45.490
in Evergreen, where I am, I invited him to the
00:24:45.490 --> 00:24:47.880
show. I haven't heard back from an email yet. Said
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.519
that he is going to vote against everything that
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.619
the Republican Party goes for. He's pulling a
00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:54.519
full Thomas Massie, going completely. He's a
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.039
Republican. He's a Republican. He's a Republican.
00:24:57.380 --> 00:25:00.430
And he's a pox on them. Complete betrayal.
00:25:00.589 --> 00:25:04.769
And he's right. H-1B visas are not popular
00:25:04.769 --> 00:25:09.269
anywhere, including... No, there goes Ted. He's
00:25:09.269 --> 00:25:11.869
got that magic mouse. He swipes and it goes away.
00:25:12.109 --> 00:25:14.289
Oh, it goes away. I got to be honest with you,
00:25:14.309 --> 00:25:16.210
Robby. I don't believe in a Republican. I think
00:25:16.210 --> 00:25:18.940
he's saying this now. We'll see what he does
00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:21.599
if he gets in office. Yeah, we'll see. I am
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.539
very, I am deeply skeptical. I'm skeptical. Yeah,
00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:26.059
he's not going to vote against the military
00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:29.299
budget or something, right? Yeah, well, no, but
00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:32.460
no, he's not representing the Congress. No, he's
00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:35.259
not. He's not a rep. He's not a representative
00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:37.180
to Congress. He's our representative to Helena
00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:38.960
in the district. Oh, he's our state rep.
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:44.190
He's my state rep. Okay, yeah. The
00:25:44.190 --> 00:25:46.849
Democrat Forsyth, I invited him onto the show,
00:25:46.869 --> 00:25:48.289
too. I haven't heard back from him. I'm going
00:25:48.289 --> 00:25:50.569
to vote Democrat this time. Me. Yours truly.
00:25:50.730 --> 00:25:53.190
I'm voting Democrat as a great, big, gigantic
00:25:53.190 --> 00:25:56.910
fuck you to the Republican Party. But Democrats
00:25:56.910 --> 00:25:58.630
in Montana are a little bit different than Democrats
00:25:58.630 --> 00:26:02.119
in, let's say, California, right? Oh, yeah. No,
00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:04.039
they're blue dog Democrats. They are
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.619
conservative Democrats. No, definitely got more
00:26:06.619 --> 00:26:08.779
of a populist bent, but as far as letting dudes
00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:10.480
in dresses in the bathrooms, that's not going
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.019
to happen. Gun control is off the table. So no,
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:16.279
these are not... These are your old-school
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:18.980
Dixiecrats or blue dog Democrats. They're conservative
00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:21.640
Democrats, more populist, but definitely not
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:31.380
woke. Okay. Ted, can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, I
00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:33.660
can hear you. Sorry, I was trying to
00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:36.319
work on a little tech thing. Okay, which is,
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.160
I gotta be honest with you. Do you get the
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.910
sense that this is a Tea Party, a Tea
00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:45.150
Party here? When the Tea Party
00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:46.890
came in, John Boehner, there's a famous quote with
00:26:46.890 --> 00:26:50.529
John Boehner. Says he went out to one of the rallies
00:26:50.529 --> 00:26:54.569
and he saw how the people were just revved
00:26:54.569 --> 00:26:58.230
up, and he said they are pissed off. He said, we're
00:26:58.230 --> 00:27:01.509
going to win. He said, when they're pissed off,
00:27:01.529 --> 00:27:02.710
we're going to fucking win, or something like
00:27:02.710 --> 00:27:04.230
that. But he dropped the F-bomb, basically saying,
00:27:04.329 --> 00:27:06.710
we are going to kill it this year. These people
00:27:06.710 --> 00:27:09.309
are pissed off. They're ready to go. Is that
00:27:09.309 --> 00:27:11.250
what we're looking at? And what's sad about this,
00:27:11.369 --> 00:27:14.750
it's not even they're pissed off and there's
00:27:14.750 --> 00:27:18.390
somebody to harness. That's exactly what I was
00:27:18.390 --> 00:27:20.390
going to say. That sucks. That's my answer. That
00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:23.410
sucks. My answer is that the people who
00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:25.990
are going to benefit here, it's sort of...
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.920
It's sort of if you're dating a girl and
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.640
she leaves you for a great guy. She leaves
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.039
you for Keanu Reeves. You're, fair is fair.
00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:41.119
He's better than me. And it speaks highly of
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.160
me, in a way, that I was dating a girl who ended
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.119
up with Keanu Reeves. But if she leaves you for
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:51.539
some degenerate opioid seller, you're, what
00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:55.089
does that say about me? And also, he
00:27:55.089 --> 00:27:57.769
doesn't deserve to benefit from the breakup of
00:27:57.769 --> 00:27:59.950
our relationship. Right. He doesn't deserve
00:27:59.950 --> 00:28:02.269
her or anyone. And that's kind of what's
00:28:02.269 --> 00:28:04.710
going on with the Democrats. They don't
00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:06.670
deserve this. They're going to... They're
00:28:06.670 --> 00:28:08.890
definitely going to kill it. The House
00:28:08.890 --> 00:28:13.450
is a given. The Senate is certainly
00:28:13.450 --> 00:28:17.259
to be conservative, likelier than not. Right.
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.640
Shall we say that? So, and then, obviously,
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:24.119
next year, and watch this. In late
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:26.599
November and December, all we're going to hear
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.700
the Democrats say is, we're awesome. The
00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:32.420
American people have handed us the reins. It's
00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:34.960
because they believed in our message, to which
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.339
I say, what message? You don't have a message.
00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:41.619
Right. Literally, can you tell me, can
00:28:41.619 --> 00:28:44.420
anybody tell me, what is the Democratic
00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:48.750
agenda for 2027? Okay, they're going
00:28:48.750 --> 00:28:51.869
to investigate Donald Trump, and they're
00:28:51.869 --> 00:28:53.509
going to go after him, and they're going to subpoena
00:28:53.509 --> 00:28:56.250
him. Great. But what are they going to do about
00:28:56.250 --> 00:28:58.809
health care? What are they going to do about affordability,
00:28:58.809 --> 00:29:00.470
the issue of the day? What are they going to do
00:29:00.470 --> 00:29:02.829
about inflation? What are they going to do about
00:29:02.829 --> 00:29:06.410
trade? What are they going to do about the wars?
00:29:06.450 --> 00:29:08.390
Nobody knows. They haven't even said
00:29:08.390 --> 00:29:10.170
that they would end the Iran war if they had
00:29:10.170 --> 00:29:12.049
a chance. Not that they're getting
00:29:12.049 --> 00:29:14.049
into the White House next year. But
00:29:14.049 --> 00:29:15.930
they could certainly say we're going to turn
00:29:15.930 --> 00:29:18.069
off the spigot and turn off all military spending
00:29:18.069 --> 00:29:20.369
until the war comes to an end. That's how the
00:29:20.369 --> 00:29:23.130
Vietnam War came to an end.
00:29:23.170 --> 00:29:25.029
They could do all sorts of things. They haven't
00:29:25.029 --> 00:29:28.390
even promised or mentioned the possibility of
00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:31.329
these things. They don't deserve the big win
00:29:31.329 --> 00:29:35.420
they're about to get. And that sucks. Agreed.
00:29:36.109 --> 00:29:39.490
Agree. There's no... They've done nothing,
00:29:39.490 --> 00:29:42.809
and this is the Nancy Pelosi thing. When Nancy
00:29:42.809 --> 00:29:45.880
Pelosi was, well, they'll come back. Yeah, well,
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.880
and she's right. She's right. And of course,
00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:51.000
the thing is, the same thing is going to happen
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.460
in two to four to six years when the Democrats
00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:58.019
disappoint everyone. And then people like Robby
00:29:58.019 --> 00:30:00.019
are going to say, I'm going to send the
00:30:00.019 --> 00:30:03.180
Democrats a big message. Fuck you. I'm voting
00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:06.859
Republican. And so it goes, over and over and
00:30:06.859 --> 00:30:09.700
over. And when she said that, it's one of those
00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:12.730
things where you have to grudgingly
00:30:12.730 --> 00:30:16.009
agree. It's, I don't want to agree with that,
00:30:16.289 --> 00:30:18.190
and yet you're stuck with the agreement of it,
00:30:18.190 --> 00:30:20.670
which is why I always say, just don't vote.
00:30:20.670 --> 00:30:23.869
Voter boycott would be the way to go if we could
00:30:23.869 --> 00:30:25.930
get enough people to do it. Can you imagine if
00:30:25.930 --> 00:30:28.490
90% of the vote... Let's just say the voter turnout,
00:30:28.490 --> 00:30:30.730
this will not happen, but imagine if the voter
00:30:30.730 --> 00:30:33.210
turnout in an election, and let's say a midterm
00:30:33.210 --> 00:30:35.410
election or a presidential election, was eight
00:30:35.410 --> 00:30:38.670
percent. That was the national turnout.
00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:40.450
This would be an international crisis.
00:30:40.529 --> 00:30:43.289
You'd have people meeting at the UN and the EU
00:30:43.289 --> 00:30:46.170
being, clearly the American people do not
00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:48.509
believe in their government. Maybe we need to
00:30:48.509 --> 00:30:51.849
invade and liberate them. You can tell by the
00:30:51.849 --> 00:30:54.630
fact that nobody votes. The
00:30:54.630 --> 00:31:00.089
point is, or if 8% of the public voted, again,
00:31:00.150 --> 00:31:03.089
imagine all the people who are powerful
00:31:03.089 --> 00:31:06.509
and/or rich and/or connected were,
00:31:06.509 --> 00:31:08.809
there's room for a new party here. We
00:31:08.809 --> 00:31:12.869
could, despite all of the institutional
00:31:12.869 --> 00:31:16.930
barriers, clearly there's an appetite for something
00:31:16.930 --> 00:31:19.470
new on the left, on the right, in the middle. Clearly
00:31:19.470 --> 00:31:21.890
there's an appetite, and that would
00:31:21.890 --> 00:31:23.950
send a message that the marketplace of ideas
00:31:23.950 --> 00:31:26.609
has a vacuum that could be filled. But as long
00:31:26.609 --> 00:31:29.009
as we keep flailing back and forth between these
00:31:29.009 --> 00:31:32.440
two major parties. Yeah, it's hard for anyone
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.240
who wants to start a new party to say, oh, I
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:38.519
have a chance of making this work. Agree. Well,
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:43.740
I agree about that, as long as people
00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:45.700
continue to put their energy into these things,
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.960
that these things are going to believe that they
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.240
have some level of legitimacy in order to keep
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.480
operating. And I will tell you, though, if only
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.299
8% of the population voted, or let's say 10%
00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:57.740
to round the number off, I still think the
00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:59.440
political parties would say we won a resounding
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:03.099
victory. The people who did vote chose
00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:05.779
us. Yeah, and our system, and it would be absurd,
00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:09.019
right? And yet I strongly suspect they would still
00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:11.140
try to be, but I don't think it, but it wouldn't
00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:13.259
work. And the reason I say that is,
00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:15.660
look at countries, authoritarian
00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:18.400
dictatorships like Saddam Hussein's Iraq under
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.920
Saddam Hussein, where it's, or
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.779
Kim Jong-un. They all have elections, right?
00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:26.180
So those countries have elections, and they always
00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:29.190
are, thank you for my win with 99%
00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:33.650
of the vote. But why do they go through this,
00:32:33.769 --> 00:32:36.789
right? It's, North Korea is a dictatorship.
00:32:37.710 --> 00:32:41.329
It's a one-party rule. And there's no way to
00:32:41.329 --> 00:32:43.109
know how popular they are because there's no
00:32:43.109 --> 00:32:45.049
polling or anything, and there's no free press.
00:32:45.430 --> 00:32:49.730
But the point is they go through this because
00:32:49.730 --> 00:32:52.950
it's for domestic and international consumption.
00:32:53.329 --> 00:32:56.339
Look, people like us. That's why they vote for
00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:59.079
us. And that's important. That legitimacy,
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.319
it's not an abstraction in that sense. And I
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.720
think the only tool we would have if we really
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.079
hated the two-party system would be to sit on
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.819
our hands and either vote for a third party,
00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:13.920
cast a blank vote, or don't vote at all. Those
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.299
are your options. I don't ever vote for a Democrat
00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:20.220
or a Republican in a contest where I don't want
00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:22.519
to see that Democrat or that Republican win.
00:33:23.849 --> 00:33:26.309
You should wake up in the morning, and if your
00:33:26.309 --> 00:33:29.390
candidate won, you should be happy. If you're,
00:33:29.390 --> 00:33:31.789
the candidate that you voted for was,
00:33:31.890 --> 00:33:34.630
well, oh, well, Hillary Clinton won,
00:33:34.750 --> 00:33:37.549
but at least Donald Trump didn't win. And you're,
00:33:37.549 --> 00:33:41.450
and you voted for her. That sucks. You
00:33:41.450 --> 00:33:43.589
shouldn't have voted for her. And so
00:33:43.589 --> 00:33:45.349
that's why I didn't vote for her. I didn't want
00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:48.150
her to win. I would have been unhappy
00:33:48.150 --> 00:33:51.150
if she won. I was unhappy that Trump won, but
00:33:51.150 --> 00:33:53.269
I was unhappy as soon as Bernie Sanders dropped
00:33:53.269 --> 00:33:56.170
out of the primaries. Then I knew the
00:33:56.170 --> 00:33:58.869
election, the 2016 election, was over for me at
00:33:58.869 --> 00:34:00.950
that point. I was just going to cast a protest
00:34:00.950 --> 00:34:04.900
vote or no vote at all. Agreed. Yeah. I agree
00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:06.819
with everything you said. I felt the same way.
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.619
It was, I don't want her to win. I don't
00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:13.429
want him to win. I can always write Dr. Shiva
00:34:13.429 --> 00:34:17.900
again. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, you would be
00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:20.239
effectively doubling his vote because it's just
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:24.099
him. I don't think his wife votes for him. But
00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:26.019
he's not in Montana anyway. I don't know who
00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:28.159
the hell he is. Yeah, but you could double his
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.119
national vote. That's true. Yeah, we should have
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.599
him come on. He might be literally the most unpleasant
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:37.159
person in the United States. So, which is saying something.
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.519
I mean that seriously, with respect. Everybody's
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.530
got to be good at something, and he's good at
00:34:42.530 --> 00:34:50.250
that. All right, here we go. Okay, so Andre,
00:34:50.570 --> 00:34:52.969
hantavirus and diarrhea lettuce, now Russian
00:34:52.969 --> 00:34:56.150
plague, $2. Let's talk about the plague. Well,
00:34:56.170 --> 00:34:59.730
what did he say? He said the hantavirus and diarrhea
00:34:59.730 --> 00:35:02.929
lettuce from Taco Bell, and now
00:35:02.929 --> 00:35:06.750
Russian plague. Oh, Jesus. So the plague. So
00:35:06.750 --> 00:35:11.150
there's an outbreak. This happened in Irkutsk
00:35:11.150 --> 00:35:13.769
Oblast, which is, if you're not familiar with
00:35:13.769 --> 00:35:16.750
Russian geography, if you look at a map of
00:35:16.750 --> 00:35:20.510
Russia, it's just north. And it's, imagine
00:35:20.510 --> 00:35:24.110
Mongolia. It's just north of there in the middle.
00:35:24.590 --> 00:35:28.389
So it's in a very remote part of Asian Russia.
00:35:28.829 --> 00:35:33.050
Lots of Asian people.
00:35:33.050 --> 00:35:36.690
People who look Asian are Asian. Effectively,
00:35:36.690 --> 00:35:40.530
partly and mostly ethnically Mongol or Manchu.
00:35:41.730 --> 00:35:43.809
Anyway, this is a remote place for obvious
00:35:43.809 --> 00:35:46.889
reasons. This lab is an anti-plague research
00:35:46.889 --> 00:35:50.530
facility. And lest people who hate Russia and
00:35:50.530 --> 00:35:54.730
are, oh, yeah, anti-plague. Plague is from
00:35:54.730 --> 00:35:58.230
the former Soviet Union. Plague originated in
00:35:58.230 --> 00:36:01.550
the Middle Ages in modern-day Kazakhstan and
00:36:01.550 --> 00:36:04.230
then traveled its way along the Silk Road. So
00:36:04.230 --> 00:36:07.610
there are plague outbreaks all the time. There are
00:36:07.610 --> 00:36:12.590
three kinds of plague. There's bubonic, the famous
00:36:12.590 --> 00:36:16.010
one that devastated Europe and killed about half
00:36:16.010 --> 00:36:19.210
to three quarters of its population twice. There's
00:36:19.210 --> 00:36:21.570
pneumonic, which is what this is, which means
00:36:21.570 --> 00:36:25.199
it goes after your lungs. And this one's dangerous
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:28.800
because it can spread human to human. Bubonic
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:32.699
is only from flea bites from infected rats. You
00:36:32.699 --> 00:36:35.300
can't get it from, if a person has
00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:38.460
bubonic plague, you can't get it from them directly.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.599
But pneumonic plague is,
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.900
like COVID. You can, if you cough,
00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:49.260
you can spread it. And then there's a third kind
00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:52.519
of plague, which is basically the blood-borne
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:56.599
plague. That also cannot be spread human to human,
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:58.880
I guess, unless you were sharing needles or something
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:03.460
like that. So this one is not bubonic plague.
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.539
This is pneumonic. Pneumonic is far more dangerous
00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:08.940
because it spreads human to human. All of them
00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:11.500
are treatable with antibiotics. If you get antibiotics
00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:13.880
into your system right away, you'll be fine.
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:17.739
But the point is, in remote rural areas, this
00:37:17.739 --> 00:37:20.019
could be a problem. So the point is Russia has
00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:23.460
to have anti-plague research facilities. About
00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:26.019
1,000 to 2,000 people die globally from plague
00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:28.980
outbreaks. Every now and then there's one
00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:32.039
or two in Arizona. There's some in Kazakhstan,
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:37.000
which is the source
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.300
of plague, as I said. So anyway, the thing is,
00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:43.059
I'll give Donald Trump credit here. He said that
00:37:43.059 --> 00:37:46.079
if the Russian Federation needs any assistance
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:48.739
whatsoever, although I don't know how we do that
00:37:48.739 --> 00:37:51.699
since we're no longer members of the WHO, and
00:37:51.699 --> 00:37:56.179
we no longer, and the CDC has been gutted. I
00:37:56.179 --> 00:37:57.579
don't really know how we do that. But anyway,
00:37:57.659 --> 00:38:00.119
whatever help we could provide, maybe on Twitter,
00:38:00.630 --> 00:38:03.750
we will provide to the Russians. I think the
00:38:03.750 --> 00:38:05.849
Russians probably have this in hand, but this
00:38:05.849 --> 00:38:09.670
female lab worker got it on her somehow and got
00:38:09.670 --> 00:38:11.869
out and then died. So obviously the Russians
00:38:11.869 --> 00:38:14.530
are on top of this, and I don't think they probably
00:38:14.530 --> 00:38:19.119
need any help, but it's worth noting. Yeah, that's
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.300
rough. That's rough. These labs are,
00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:27.389
they're necessary, but it's a necessary danger,
00:38:27.449 --> 00:38:30.380
I suppose. They're doing research.
00:38:30.380 --> 00:38:34.329
But it's always possible, I suppose,
00:38:34.489 --> 00:38:36.989
in any lab that something like this can happen.
00:38:37.449 --> 00:38:40.719
Always. Yeah. Yeah, these
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.739
are obviously extremely dangerous
00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:46.400
bacteria. By the way, has it spread
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.179
to anyone else? Is it just her? It's not known
00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:53.110
to have spread to anyone else yet. Good. Because
00:38:53.110 --> 00:38:54.969
she could have gone to Starbucks after work.
00:38:55.250 --> 00:38:58.329
But I imagine that the Russian government
00:38:58.329 --> 00:39:02.269
has the area quarantined and cut off. And then
00:39:02.309 --> 00:39:04.809
they're probably dudes
00:39:04.809 --> 00:39:07.369
in hazmat suits all over the place,
00:39:07.369 --> 00:39:09.570
trying to figure out exactly how far this went.
00:39:09.989 --> 00:39:12.429
That's why you do this in remote areas.
00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:17.340
Very true. As opposed to a wet market. You had
00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:21.019
Wuhan next to the pangolin display. Right, right.
00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:23.539
It's, yeah, I'm going to leave work
00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:25.820
and go to Starbucks, and of course everybody
00:39:25.820 --> 00:39:28.980
that's in there, 100 people, let's say 10 get infected.
00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:30.900
Okay, so 10 people now have it, and they go and
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:34.280
they... The numbers, the ease at which
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.739
sometimes these things can spread, it's just breathtaking.
00:39:36.739 --> 00:39:38.719
COVID, the spread of COVID, was breathtaking,
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:43.679
and it didn't matter what you did, almost.
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:44.920
There are things, I suppose, that you could
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:46.760
do to push the percentages one way or the other,
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:50.460
but yeah, we were just all... It was a major
00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:53.630
flu 100 years ago. A few years ago, I hope, I
00:39:53.630 --> 00:39:55.190
don't know if this ever happened or not, but
00:39:55.190 --> 00:39:56.849
European researchers are talking about going
00:39:56.849 --> 00:39:59.909
into the plague pits of plague victims who are
00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:02.349
buried in the city walls. So that's what, they've
00:40:02.349 --> 00:40:04.369
entombed them in the walls. Of course, now they're
00:40:04.369 --> 00:40:06.230
mummified. They're talking about going in there,
00:40:06.250 --> 00:40:09.309
getting that bacterial strain that was the Black
00:40:09.309 --> 00:40:11.989
Death and then trying to reverse engineer it
00:40:11.989 --> 00:40:13.789
and then see if they can weaponize it. Basically
00:40:13.789 --> 00:40:16.429
gain of function, which Anthony Fauci would be
00:40:16.429 --> 00:40:18.150
all about. I hope that the Russians are not playing
00:40:18.150 --> 00:40:20.590
that game. Yeah, when archaeologists have...
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.699
Archaeologists have gotten the plague from digging
00:40:23.699 --> 00:40:27.280
up those pits from hundreds of years ago. Yeah,
00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:30.079
and people just go in there and they start playing
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.840
God with things. They're better off left buried.
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:37.619
Yeah. It's terrifying. They're trying
00:40:37.619 --> 00:40:40.019
to find, okay, is there an identifier for
00:40:40.019 --> 00:40:42.420
Russian in genetics that we can engineer a virus
00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:44.300
for that was specifically targeted to one particular
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:46.059
group as opposed to another group? They
00:40:46.059 --> 00:40:47.760
think of shit like that, right? They do think
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.380
of shit like that. I know, but it's so easy.
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.119
In the '70s, they wanted to do, the U.S. government
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.079
had a biological research facility that was trying
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:01.019
to mutate house flies. And their plan was to
00:41:01.019 --> 00:41:03.619
drop giant mutant house flies over the Soviet
00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:07.519
Union. And the plan, the idea, and I kid you
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:10.699
not, was that the Russian people would be so
00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:14.139
terrorized that when World War III came, the
00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:16.019
U.S. Marines could just march in and everyone would
00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:18.599
be hiding inside their houses while the giant
00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:20.840
flies were buzzing around. And I'm, I think
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.280
the Russians own tennis rackets, right?
00:41:23.300 --> 00:41:25.780
They could just go out and whack them. It would
00:41:25.780 --> 00:41:27.840
probably be fun for them. And I was also,
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:31.179
you don't know Russians, do you? And then also,
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:33.980
I was, they would fly, right? They could
00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:36.019
go all over Europe. They could come to the United
00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:38.440
States. That wouldn't be good either. It was
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:40.019
so stupid. Yeah, what stops them from staying
00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:43.099
in Russia? Stuff that our
00:41:43.389 --> 00:41:46.949
military used to do, some weird shit. Yeah, yeah,
00:41:46.949 --> 00:41:49.750
and I'm sure God knows what they're up to now,
00:41:49.750 --> 00:41:51.949
but I'm sure that part hasn't come to an end
00:41:51.949 --> 00:41:54.170
at all. Did you ever, Stubblebine, the guy
00:41:54.170 --> 00:41:59.920
who wanted warrior priests, that they
00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:02.059
have, they walk into countries holding
00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:07.039
lambs, stuff that our military used
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.760
to do, some weird shit. They're so weird. Just filming.
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:13.099
Really, Robby still doesn't get it. You being
00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:15.159
so against immigration just makes you as an individual
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:18.380
look bad. Your government wants immigration. Immigrants,
00:42:18.380 --> 00:42:23.710
Robby. Yeah, but just because government wants
00:42:23.710 --> 00:42:25.610
it doesn't mean that... Who cares? But my
00:42:25.610 --> 00:42:28.329
government wants to kill, wants to kill
00:42:28.329 --> 00:42:30.969
Russians, and yeah, and it wants to kill, it wants
00:42:30.969 --> 00:42:34.210
to kill cousins. I don't care what they want. Yeah,
00:42:34.210 --> 00:42:36.050
I think I've been pretty
00:42:36.050 --> 00:42:40.440
clear on this. I don't blame the
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:43.179
migrant. I don't blame the immigrant. I get it.
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.139
I would want to get here, too. I want to go and
00:42:45.139 --> 00:42:48.440
be able to suck off the tit of a developed economy,
00:42:48.579 --> 00:42:51.280
too, if I had the opportunity when I was over
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:53.719
there. I blame my government for allowing this.
00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:56.699
I blame my government and the tech overlords
00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:59.000
for creating this problem. I blame my government
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.420
for hating me. I blame my government for all
00:43:01.420 --> 00:43:05.579
this stuff. And that's the whole issue. It's
00:43:05.579 --> 00:43:08.179
pretty clear. Sucking off the tit of a developed
00:43:08.179 --> 00:43:12.710
economy. Yes. Let's keep rolling. We got lots
00:43:12.710 --> 00:43:14.829
more to talk about. Okay, okay, okay. All right.
00:43:15.190 --> 00:43:18.909
Those developed economies, though, sucked off
00:43:18.909 --> 00:43:21.070
the tits of those countries in order for those
00:43:21.070 --> 00:43:22.789
developed countries to be what they are, meaning
00:43:22.789 --> 00:43:24.610
the starting capital for any developed nation
00:43:24.610 --> 00:43:27.489
came at the expense of those, quote, developing
00:43:27.489 --> 00:43:32.059
countries. Or do you disagree with that? I think
00:43:32.059 --> 00:43:34.519
it's a bit more complicated than that. Was there
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:40.889
definitely an exploitation? For sure. Was there
00:43:40.889 --> 00:43:43.889
a mutual gain? Yeah. The life expectancy in what's
00:43:43.889 --> 00:43:48.010
now southern Africa was 30 during the days
00:43:48.010 --> 00:43:50.429
of British colonialism up to the '70s. Now it's
00:43:50.429 --> 00:43:54.130
collapsing. Thank you for the Brits. The Brits
00:43:54.130 --> 00:43:55.969
were there doing them a favor. The Brits could
00:43:55.969 --> 00:43:57.690
have stayed where they were. White man's burden,
00:43:57.909 --> 00:44:00.929
Jamarl. For sure. White man's burden. What I'm
00:44:00.929 --> 00:44:04.469
saying is, it's so hard on the white man helping
00:44:04.469 --> 00:44:10.809
these... Whatever, the Brits, the French, the Amsterdam,
00:44:10.809 --> 00:44:13.110
all of these people, the Belgians. Didn't fit it,
00:44:13.110 --> 00:44:15.489
meaning the very fact that they were able to
00:44:15.489 --> 00:44:17.250
be developed, quote unquote, came as a direct result
00:44:17.250 --> 00:44:19.369
of the capital that they stole and the lives
00:44:19.369 --> 00:44:21.809
that they killed. Yeah, and the resources, and more
00:44:21.809 --> 00:44:23.670
to the point, they had no business being there.
00:44:23.670 --> 00:44:27.309
It wasn't their place. Nobody actually, nobody
00:44:27.309 --> 00:44:31.949
needed them. Whatever. Okay, just nobody asked
00:44:31.949 --> 00:44:34.389
me to open up the borders and bring in millions
00:44:34.389 --> 00:44:38.590
of people to drive down wages. So, guys, we have
00:44:38.590 --> 00:44:40.829
15 minutes left to do. That's just a reminder.
00:44:40.829 --> 00:44:44.170
This is a one-hour show. We go till 10.
00:44:44.170 --> 00:44:48.630
It's 9:45. Okay, so, F you. So thanks for
00:44:48.630 --> 00:44:51.630
the dono. Cash is getting married to his Mossad
00:44:51.630 --> 00:44:54.710
country sensation girlfriend. I must have been...
00:44:54.710 --> 00:44:57.610
Love at first pegging. She uses the Valhalla
00:44:57.610 --> 00:45:01.750
strap-on of the gods. The well-dressed nerd
00:45:01.750 --> 00:45:04.349
thanks for the dollar, or drag their asses out
00:45:04.349 --> 00:45:07.789
and burn it down, maybe get ice cream after. Okay.
00:45:07.789 --> 00:45:12.010
Did P.W. Walker... Did this person die of
00:45:12.010 --> 00:45:16.389
plague or die with plague? Died of plague. Have
00:45:16.389 --> 00:45:19.460
to ask now that COVID, and those with measles
00:45:19.460 --> 00:45:21.800
deaths in Pennsylvania. By the way, New York
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:23.900
Governor Kathy Hochul has now declared a state
00:45:23.900 --> 00:45:26.519
of emergency for New York State in the measles
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.460
outbreak. Really? Because it's spread across
00:45:29.460 --> 00:45:35.119
the border from Pennsylvania. Yeah, so Nietzsche
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:38.579
says 28-year-old female lab technician Daria
00:45:38.579 --> 00:45:42.079
Shipilova died in Siberia after a lab accident
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.500
involving a broken test tube containing plague
00:45:45.500 --> 00:45:48.750
bacteria. Can you imagine that feeling where
00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:52.460
you're just, wait, oh, you got it? Yeah,
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.400
I got it. Oh, fuck. Or you stick yourself with
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.119
a needle. That's the other shit, right? Yeah,
00:45:57.139 --> 00:46:00.199
that happens. Definitely. Also, or if you're,
00:46:00.219 --> 00:46:02.199
but I guess she didn't have
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:05.099
her hazmat. Her hazmat suit must have been compromised,
00:46:05.099 --> 00:46:09.920
or she wasn't wearing it. Okay, so let's keep
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.800
moving here. So Trump suggested, here he is at
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.170
32%. The anti-immigrant people. Right here.
00:46:17.170 --> 00:46:20.610
Here's my answer. Trump says. There you go. Right
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:21.909
there. Trump at a rally. That's going to solve
00:46:21.909 --> 00:46:25.210
the immigration problem. Quickly, guys. Trump
00:46:25.210 --> 00:46:27.909
suggested that L.A. and San Diego are expendable.
00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:31.170
And as far as he's concerned, Iran could take
00:46:31.170 --> 00:46:34.230
them out. First of all, Iran can't reach them.
00:46:34.469 --> 00:46:38.230
They're the furthest. I guess the only part
00:46:38.230 --> 00:46:39.989
of the United States that would be harder to
00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:43.889
reach would be Hawaii. Iran doesn't have missiles
00:46:43.889 --> 00:46:46.170
that can even reach Paris. Forget about
00:46:46.170 --> 00:46:51.550
that. But, and of course, people in
00:46:51.550 --> 00:46:54.889
California, Newsom, are, how dare you?
00:46:55.050 --> 00:46:58.449
Now, I do. Of course, Trump is just being Trump,
00:46:58.449 --> 00:47:01.650
and he's trolling. And he's... This
00:47:01.650 --> 00:47:05.289
is just... He's joking. It's maybe
00:47:05.289 --> 00:47:08.690
not a good joke, but it's a joke. It's a halfway
00:47:08.690 --> 00:47:12.800
joke. Yeah. It's a halfway joke.
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:16.000
There's a huge military base, a Navy base, in San Diego.
00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:19.139
I don't think he'd want to lose that.
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:23.320
Well, we've lost a lot of military bases. True,
00:47:23.340 --> 00:47:28.539
true, true. What's one more? It's, Iran has
00:47:28.539 --> 00:47:31.480
effectively leveled much of the bases of the
00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:33.679
Persian Gulf. The U.S. military right now is
00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:38.539
not in the Persian Gulf. It's way out. It's in
00:47:38.539 --> 00:47:40.719
Syria, country like Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.
00:47:40.900 --> 00:47:43.900
So don't misunderstand me. But from the standpoint
00:47:43.900 --> 00:47:46.320
of the boats and the ships and everything else,
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:50.000
those things are far out. After Iran nearly hit
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.519
them with a ship, and it's very possible that
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:54.719
Iran did hit them with a missile and they just
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:56.539
didn't necessarily want to own it. They said,
00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:58.800
okay, we are no longer going to be in this particular
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:00.579
area. We're going to be much further back. Hence
00:48:00.579 --> 00:48:03.019
Iran saying, well, we need missiles to be able
00:48:03.019 --> 00:48:04.800
to hit further back now because the U.S. military
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:09.210
has gone further back. Does Trump, would he be
00:48:09.210 --> 00:48:14.659
okay if Los Angeles was hit? Maybe. I don't
00:48:14.659 --> 00:48:17.460
think... I think in reality, no. But look,
00:48:17.460 --> 00:48:20.179
what was interesting to me was that
00:48:20.179 --> 00:48:23.900
California politicians were calling him deranged,
00:48:23.900 --> 00:48:27.219
and I'm, I think that part's true, not
00:48:27.219 --> 00:48:30.139
because of this remark. And I think I'm
00:48:30.139 --> 00:48:31.760
kind of wondering if that's going to start to
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.880
catch on. That should be a refrain. He's
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.940
deranged. He's out of his mind. He's losing it.
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:41.000
He's mentally ill. And deranged not in a political
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:43.780
way. Deranged in a personal, psychological, medical
00:48:43.780 --> 00:48:48.500
way. Yes. Yeah. Because I think he is. I think
00:48:48.500 --> 00:48:51.320
he is, too. For fuck's sake, man. We watched Joe
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.579
Biden degrade and disintegrate in that office.
00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.820
Every day, he just seemed to be... And here
00:48:55.820 --> 00:48:58.519
we go. Yeah. He just was vanishing, right? This
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:01.170
is the same. It's the same. And they should call
00:49:01.170 --> 00:49:04.539
it so. Okay, we got to move on. China has opened
00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:09.820
its first foreign military base that was in Asia.
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:15.059
And this one is in Laos. They opened a base in
00:49:15.059 --> 00:49:20.579
Djibouti back in 2017. So apparently they opened
00:49:20.579 --> 00:49:23.539
a military base and the United States never knew
00:49:23.539 --> 00:49:27.320
they were planning it, financing it, building
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:31.829
it, nothing. And just suddenly, poof. Oh, by the
00:49:31.829 --> 00:49:35.030
way, we're here. That's a big
00:49:35.030 --> 00:49:38.630
failure of intelligence, I'd say. Yeah, and you
00:49:38.630 --> 00:49:40.829
have to wonder why that large of a failure of
00:49:40.829 --> 00:49:43.530
intelligence. Do you think that the Soviet
00:49:43.530 --> 00:49:45.090
Union would have ever been able to make a base
00:49:45.090 --> 00:49:47.230
that the United States was unaware that the Soviet
00:49:47.230 --> 00:49:52.690
Union was making? No, no, no, right? How does this,
00:49:52.690 --> 00:49:57.829
what time is it? This is about China and
00:49:58.690 --> 00:50:01.010
the U.S. in the way that they're engaging.
00:50:01.150 --> 00:50:03.469
They're not engaging in a similar way as the
00:50:03.469 --> 00:50:06.510
Soviet Union and the U.S. engaged. It feels different.
00:50:06.630 --> 00:50:09.469
It seems different. It looks different. It's
00:50:09.469 --> 00:50:11.750
almost we lost, when the Soviet Union fell,
00:50:11.829 --> 00:50:15.949
we lost the faculty of being locked in in that
00:50:15.949 --> 00:50:19.829
way. Yeah, we're not sharp. I always
00:50:19.829 --> 00:50:21.969
said that it was going to be bad for the U.S.
00:50:21.969 --> 00:50:24.550
that the USSR went out of business. And it has
00:50:24.550 --> 00:50:28.510
been. It's made us flaccid and flabby
00:50:28.510 --> 00:50:31.269
in every respect, obviously, in terms of military,
00:50:31.289 --> 00:50:34.030
our military intelligence. But also,
00:50:34.090 --> 00:50:36.030
in the marketplace of ideas,
00:50:36.030 --> 00:50:38.969
well, Francis Fukuyama now
00:50:38.969 --> 00:50:40.989
says it's the end of history and capitalism has
00:50:40.989 --> 00:50:43.090
triumphed now and forever. Although he rolled
00:50:43.090 --> 00:50:46.190
that back recently, I guess, better 35 years
00:50:46.190 --> 00:50:49.150
late than never. Yeah. But the point is that
00:50:49.150 --> 00:50:52.150
socialism is ascendant once more. That wasn't
00:50:52.150 --> 00:50:54.530
supposed to happen. But the point is that capitalism
00:50:54.530 --> 00:50:59.369
hasn't had to smooth off any of the rough edges
00:50:59.369 --> 00:51:04.769
to provide basic things that human beings need
00:51:04.769 --> 00:51:08.190
in the U.S. and other Western countries. And now
00:51:08.190 --> 00:51:10.409
capitalism is being caught with its pants down.
00:51:10.949 --> 00:51:16.190
Yeah. It's interesting you say capitalism,
00:51:16.269 --> 00:51:20.440
but you're right. Because usually somebody would,
00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:22.380
I'm not saying usually, but you can make
00:51:22.380 --> 00:51:23.980
the argument that it's not just the capitalistic
00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:26.239
thing. The thing that's competing with other
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.340
nations is supposed to be the democratic component.
00:51:29.699 --> 00:51:33.860
Right. But the Soviet Union was literally where
00:51:33.860 --> 00:51:36.340
the Comintern, which was that global headquarters
00:51:36.340 --> 00:51:39.500
of global international communism, was headquartered.
00:51:39.699 --> 00:51:43.800
The Soviet Union gave orders to communist
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.630
parties in places like Cuba. So it's...
00:51:47.630 --> 00:51:51.710
That was literally the symbol of the 20th-century
00:51:51.710 --> 00:51:55.170
socialist project. And it closed. And when that
00:51:55.170 --> 00:51:57.710
happened, there was triumphalism by the capitalists.
00:51:57.710 --> 00:52:00.090
It's, well, we've won, and now we don't have
00:52:00.090 --> 00:52:02.590
to fucking try harder. But it wasn't just that.
00:52:02.670 --> 00:52:06.780
It was also by the... There's a political economy
00:52:06.780 --> 00:52:09.980
at work that was at war in the sense of the Cold
00:52:09.980 --> 00:52:12.440
War. It wasn't just, okay, we have economic systems
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.500
that are fighting each other. It was also, this
00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:16.079
is supposed to be this kind of, quote, authoritarian
00:52:17.309 --> 00:52:19.170
government versus this democratic government,
00:52:19.170 --> 00:52:21.429
and democracy won, and blah, blah, blah. Meaning
00:52:21.429 --> 00:52:23.670
they talk about it. And I guess you can look
00:52:23.670 --> 00:52:25.309
at it through both lenses, but I think it's a political
00:52:25.309 --> 00:52:28.170
economy that oftentimes when you're talking about
00:52:28.170 --> 00:52:29.949
it, you're talking about both. I like the fact
00:52:29.949 --> 00:52:31.489
that you use capitalism because I think that's
00:52:31.489 --> 00:52:33.369
the one that matters more. I think that's the
00:52:33.369 --> 00:52:35.610
one that eats the other. But I think it was held
00:52:35.610 --> 00:52:39.369
in line by the political component of it as long
00:52:39.369 --> 00:52:42.210
as you had an enemy that it was fighting against.
00:52:42.690 --> 00:52:45.869
Meaning the capitalist side had to allow the
00:52:45.869 --> 00:52:49.690
democratic side to get benefits. Otherwise, you
00:52:49.690 --> 00:52:51.510
wouldn't have the buy-in in order to fight this
00:52:51.510 --> 00:52:55.469
existential enemy of communism that they consider
00:52:55.469 --> 00:52:58.030
themselves fighting. The flaccid part, I think
00:52:58.030 --> 00:52:59.530
it's right. But I think it's the most natural
00:52:59.530 --> 00:53:01.250
thing in the world. The moment that you lose
00:53:01.250 --> 00:53:03.550
this thing that you're pushing against, that
00:53:03.550 --> 00:53:05.349
you have to supply for your population, that
00:53:05.349 --> 00:53:07.329
you have to show your population is growing and
00:53:07.329 --> 00:53:09.849
developing economically, the moment that it goes
00:53:09.849 --> 00:53:12.030
away, we no longer need to have this charade.
00:53:13.150 --> 00:53:15.190
Capitalism can move in one direction, and it moves
00:53:15.190 --> 00:53:17.070
in one direction, eating the political space.
00:53:17.409 --> 00:53:20.050
Now, I agree with you. I think the moment that
00:53:20.050 --> 00:53:22.050
you won, the moment that it dropped, it's
00:53:22.050 --> 00:53:26.369
if I was playing sports, if I was... Chess reference.
00:53:26.590 --> 00:53:28.900
When I was playing chess every day, I was a monster.
00:53:29.380 --> 00:53:31.420
The moment that I stopped and I go into a tournament
00:53:31.420 --> 00:53:35.349
10 years later, I got my ass kicked. Yeah. No,
00:53:35.389 --> 00:53:37.849
it's anybody who, if you
00:53:37.849 --> 00:53:40.250
practice physically, if you've been
00:53:40.250 --> 00:53:42.469
out of whatever, you bike every day and then
00:53:42.469 --> 00:53:46.510
you stop. You're going to be rusty. Yeah. Drawing
00:53:46.510 --> 00:53:49.489
is like that. I once went six weeks without
00:53:49.489 --> 00:53:52.590
drawing. Man, it took a long time to get back
00:53:52.590 --> 00:53:56.210
up to speed. Yeah. And by the way, the China
00:53:56.210 --> 00:53:58.429
thing is a really good example of it. It's,
00:53:58.489 --> 00:54:02.070
okay, the enemy goes away. We won. End of history.
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:04.840
Liberalism forever. We're going to spread it
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:07.260
to the galaxy, in Star Trek. And then China
00:54:07.260 --> 00:54:08.800
comes up. And it's, okay, well, you have
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:10.940
this Chinese government that calls itself a communist
00:54:10.940 --> 00:54:13.980
government. And yet it's harnessing the capitalistic
00:54:13.980 --> 00:54:18.480
entity in a better way than the capitalists do,
00:54:18.619 --> 00:54:20.599
right? It's, well, that guy can use a lightsaber
00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:23.639
better than a Jedi. It's, yes, we can. And
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:26.099
they use it for the benefit of their population
00:54:26.099 --> 00:54:28.420
in regards to raising 800 million people out
00:54:28.420 --> 00:54:32.909
of poverty. Okay, well, that's a challenge. Because,
00:54:32.909 --> 00:54:35.230
again, the capitalistic thing is we were able
00:54:35.230 --> 00:54:36.969
to look at what we've been able to do: freedom,
00:54:37.010 --> 00:54:39.530
justice, and we have liberty, and we have a capitalist
00:54:39.530 --> 00:54:41.929
system, and blah, blah, blah. And then you have
00:54:41.929 --> 00:54:43.489
China saying, well, we raised 800 million people
00:54:43.489 --> 00:54:44.929
out of poverty. We have the mandate of heaven
00:54:44.929 --> 00:54:48.030
because we are competent in one sense, and we're
00:54:48.030 --> 00:54:49.809
doing what we said we were going to do. That's
00:54:49.809 --> 00:54:52.289
a challenge. But the U.S. hasn't lined up to
00:54:52.289 --> 00:54:53.789
that challenge in the way we lined up to the
00:54:53.789 --> 00:54:56.690
challenge of communism in the Soviet system.
00:54:57.329 --> 00:54:59.630
And by the way, the Chinese system seems to have
00:54:59.630 --> 00:55:01.940
more legs. Very quickly, we have one more story
00:55:01.940 --> 00:55:05.800
to cover, this German spy chief story. But Paramount
00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:09.539
has given up its bid to purchase Warner Brothers.
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:12.179
To me, that's an indication of Trump's growing
00:55:12.179 --> 00:55:14.380
weakness because this was something that Trump
00:55:14.380 --> 00:55:19.840
was midwifing. Wait, who? Paramount is not going
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:23.940
to buy Warner. Really? Really?
00:55:23.940 --> 00:55:26.659
That's better for consumers that it not happen. Of course.
00:55:26.659 --> 00:55:28.099
No, it is. I just thought they were going to
00:55:28.099 --> 00:55:30.550
do it. Yeah, no, I thought it was a given. But
00:55:30.550 --> 00:55:33.110
definitely that signals weakness within the deep
00:55:33.110 --> 00:55:36.210
state, right, within the economic side of the
00:55:36.210 --> 00:55:38.449
deep state. All right, so a guy named August
00:55:38.449 --> 00:55:41.429
Hanning, 80 years old, he was the head of the
00:55:41.429 --> 00:55:43.630
German version of the CIA, the Federal Intelligence
00:55:43.630 --> 00:55:47.889
Service, known as the BND, between 1998 and 2005.
00:55:48.989 --> 00:55:52.150
He's been arrested and accused, he's 80 years
00:55:52.150 --> 00:55:56.070
old, of spying for a foreign country, basically
00:55:56.070 --> 00:55:59.800
selling about 2,000 key documents to this foreign
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:02.659
country. We're not told what country that might
00:56:02.659 --> 00:56:05.340
be. Everyone wants to say it's probably Russia.
00:56:05.340 --> 00:56:09.179
Might be right. It could be Israel, right? We don't
00:56:09.179 --> 00:56:13.099
know. Yeah, right there, because they're
00:56:13.099 --> 00:56:15.159
not saying it. If it was Russia, they would
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:18.960
just have said it: Russia. That's what I think. I think,
00:56:19.019 --> 00:56:22.420
so I'm going to say maybe Israel. And
00:56:22.420 --> 00:56:24.539
then what's really funny is that apparently these
00:56:24.539 --> 00:56:26.940
documents, the theft of these documents, came
00:56:26.940 --> 00:56:31.800
to light last year in some kind of alleged kidnap
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:39.119
plot involving a lady who was the heir, the estranged
00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:43.420
heir to a steakhouse chain in Germany. Can't
00:56:43.420 --> 00:56:45.800
make these things up, to kidnap her children
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:48.920
from her estranged husband. So apparently when
00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:52.079
the cops were investigating, the BND was, the German
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.079
national police were investigating that case.
00:56:54.159 --> 00:56:57.780
They came across this August Hanning thing. August
00:56:57.780 --> 00:57:00.820
Hanning apparently was suffering financial problems.
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:04.679
And so he was probably motivated purely by the
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.179
need for money in order to sell these documents
00:57:07.179 --> 00:57:11.039
and prepare reports about how...
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:14.860
to prepare reports about the BND for this foreign
00:57:14.860 --> 00:57:18.780
adversary. I don't know. It's
00:57:18.780 --> 00:57:21.940
more of a John Kiriakou-type story.
00:57:21.940 --> 00:57:24.440
I would love to pick his brain about that, but
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:28.360
I guess this is still, to me, this reminder
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:32.900
here is, so you had the former, you knew the
00:57:32.900 --> 00:57:36.110
former head of the BND had all sorts of access
00:57:36.110 --> 00:57:38.809
to intelligence that you cared about. You knew
00:57:38.809 --> 00:57:42.150
he was having financial problems. And you didn't
00:57:42.150 --> 00:57:44.429
think that maybe you needed to slip him a few
00:57:44.429 --> 00:57:47.070
Deutschmarks to make sure that, or euros, to make
00:57:47.070 --> 00:57:50.230
sure that he was okay, or
00:57:50.230 --> 00:57:52.269
check up on him. It would
00:57:52.269 --> 00:57:54.469
just seem to me you shouldn't give all sorts
00:57:54.469 --> 00:57:57.070
of important information to someone who's broke.
00:57:57.750 --> 00:58:00.010
But did they know he was broke? This
00:58:00.010 --> 00:58:01.469
stuff might have come to light during the investigation.
00:58:01.829 --> 00:58:04.420
Probably. It's a weakness of capitalism, though,
00:58:04.500 --> 00:58:07.119
right? You're trusting people. Then you
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:09.719
kick them. Then they leave. They go and get old.
00:58:09.780 --> 00:58:12.659
And maybe they get poor and old. And then they
00:58:12.659 --> 00:58:15.440
need money. And they don't know who to turn to.
00:58:15.780 --> 00:58:18.699
And then some guy with a Tel Aviv accent shows
00:58:18.699 --> 00:58:22.039
up and offers them some money. And,
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:29.960
hey, okay. Yeah, with a Tel Aviv accent. Yeah,
00:58:30.099 --> 00:58:33.039
I agree with you.
00:58:33.099 --> 00:58:35.460
They probably just didn't know. And God, man,
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:37.300
just imagine you're doing an investigation about
00:58:37.300 --> 00:58:39.780
a potential kidnapping and this comes into your
00:58:39.780 --> 00:58:43.940
lap. How weird is that? You're, Hans, look
00:58:43.940 --> 00:58:50.079
at this. Let me eat some schnitzel. Let's have
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:53.980
schnapps and discuss this. You're drinking your
00:58:53.980 --> 00:58:55.780
beer and all of a sudden it's, hey, I think
00:58:55.780 --> 00:58:58.739
this guy's being bribed. It's, what? What's
00:58:58.739 --> 00:59:00.869
going on? What? Yeah, it would be
00:59:00.869 --> 00:59:03.570
finding that George Tenet was working
00:59:03.570 --> 00:59:06.449
for the Chinese or something. Yeah, that shit's
00:59:06.449 --> 00:59:09.250
wild. That's so wild. Look, people are
00:59:09.250 --> 00:59:11.349
susceptible. And yeah, they don't necessarily,
00:59:11.550 --> 00:59:13.889
some of this stuff they expect on nationalistic
00:59:13.889 --> 00:59:16.230
lines that you're not due. But when people get
00:59:16.230 --> 00:59:20.210
desperate. Totally. No doubt about it. Well,
00:59:20.349 --> 00:59:22.309
we're not desperate here. We're closing the show
00:59:22.309 --> 00:59:25.510

Bye, Robby. Guys, bye-bye.
