1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:01,740
I wasn't pushing back enough on Adam.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,780
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:04,300
Dvorak.

4
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:06,640
It's Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2026.

5
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,160
This is your award-winning, give-a-nation

6
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,900
-eat-a-man-nation-episode-1857.

7
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,580
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:17,140
Working on the holy days and broadcasting live

9
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:18,820
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country

10
00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:20,120
here in FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:20,500
6.

12
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,040
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:26,740
And from Refinery Row in the North San

14
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:28,440
Francisco Bay, I'm John C.

15
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:28,940
Dvorak.

16
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,340
In the morning...

17
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:34,900
We're a pair today, aren't we?

18
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:36,000
Happy Easter.

19
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,200
Happy Resurrection Day, as we say.

20
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,280
Happy Easter, yes.

21
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:42,060
And happy birthday!

22
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Thank you.

23
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,920
Happy, happy birthday.

24
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,320
Wow, you are sounding chipper today, man.

25
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,080
That won't last.

26
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:50,020
No, I know.

27
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:53,280
I walked into church this morning.

28
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,300
I heard the last show.

29
00:00:54,860 --> 00:00:56,720
About one hour in, I can't...

30
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,540
I can barely talk.

31
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:00,520
Yeah, I gotta go to bed.

32
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,700
It got pretty bad there.

33
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,780
But again, it's fantastic that you're first, alive.

34
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:06,540
This is good news.

35
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:09,440
Two, you're back on the show within just

36
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,380
weeks of having open-heart surgery.

37
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,540
And, as people pointed out to me this

38
00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:19,180
morning at church, JCD sounds softer.

39
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,120
What?

40
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,400
You sound softer.

41
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:24,500
Like your heart has softened.

42
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,980
And I said, give him a week or

43
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:27,200
two.

44
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,700
I said, give him a week or two.

45
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:29,200
Don't worry.

46
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:31,860
Softer about what?

47
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,300
People said I wasn't pushing back enough on

48
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:36,560
Adam.

49
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,940
You're turning soft, Dvorak.

50
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:40,580
You're not pushing back enough on Adam.

51
00:01:40,580 --> 00:01:41,600
Pushing back on what?

52
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,060
Wait, you're actually getting these emails already?

53
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:46,300
Yeah.

54
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Oh, man.

55
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,440
That's not so nice.

56
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,040
What did I say that you need to

57
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,720
push back on?

58
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:52,760
What did I do wrong now?

59
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,780
Well, that's what I was wondering.

60
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,040
I mean, there must have been something.

61
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Oh, they just randomly say, you didn't push

62
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,860
back enough, but yet they have no examples.

63
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:01,220
Okay.

64
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,480
No, I think that staring death in the

65
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,480
face will do that to you.

66
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,460
Don't you have a different outlook on life?

67
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,420
I guess not.

68
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:12,360
Um...

69
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,160
No, not really.

70
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:18,160
Is that a no?

71
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:19,360
Trying to get more sleep.

72
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,640
How's that going?

73
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,880
That must be the hardest part.

74
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,840
No, it's terrible.

75
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:26,600
So, you're just not sleeping much at all?

76
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:27,740
Well, no.

77
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,680
And it throws you off.

78
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,940
Well, not sleeping will throw you off, of

79
00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:32,280
course.

80
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:33,820
Yeah.

81
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,480
So, I get this dry mouth for a

82
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,920
number of various reasons.

83
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:40,320
Yes.

84
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,780
And it kind of makes me talk funny

85
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:43,580
at some point.

86
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:47,900
And so, today I'm testing out a whole

87
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:52,120
slew of cures that I'm going to use

88
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,020
throughout the show.

89
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,800
Sprays, mouth sprays, goo.

90
00:02:58,340 --> 00:03:00,220
Tell us about the goo.

91
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,920
And some other things to see how that

92
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:05,300
goes.

93
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:08,240
Okay, so you just get dry mouth, and

94
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,340
then it's annoying.

95
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:10,480
Oh, yeah.

96
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:13,120
And you start biting your cheek when you're

97
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,520
talking.

98
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,000
Oh.

99
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:19,500
How is that related to open heart surgery?

100
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,800
It has to do with the drugs and

101
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,520
all the other things.

102
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:24,900
It's hard to say.

103
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:27,960
Also, I'm on this minimalist, because of the

104
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,060
nature of the fluid retention, that you have

105
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:32,180
fluid around my lungs.

106
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:35,040
I can't have more than 1.5 liters

107
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,060
of liquids of any sort per day.

108
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,820
And so, that keeps you kind of like

109
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:42,540
semi-dehydrated.

110
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:43,320
You're parched.

111
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:46,880
Parched, I tell you.

112
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:47,260
Wow.

113
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,100
Well, again, loving that you're here, man.

114
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:51,340
Loving that you're here.

115
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:52,620
I'm not complaining.

116
00:03:52,860 --> 00:03:54,820
Actually, I am complaining.

117
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,420
Quite a bit, but that's okay.

118
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040
It's all right, because John, good news, good

119
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,340
news, breaking news, we got him!

120
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:04,640
Good morning and happy Easter.

121
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,980
The US crew member who was missing in

122
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:10,200
southwestern Iran after his F-15 fighter jet

123
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,200
was shot down has been rescued.

124
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,279
The successful extraction was announced by President Trump

125
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:16,959
overnight on True Social.

126
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640
The president simply said, we got him, before

127
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,940
providing new details that dozens of US military

128
00:04:22,940 --> 00:04:25,120
aircraft were used to retrieve him as US

129
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,980
leadership tracked his location.

130
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:29,620
It was a daring operation that included hundreds

131
00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:32,100
of US forces racing against the clock to

132
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:33,040
rescue the crew member.

133
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,040
Fox News has learned that after the fighter

134
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
jet was shot down on Friday, the weapons

135
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,960
systems officer hiked to an elevated mountain ridge

136
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,940
where he hid and waited for retrieval.

137
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,820
The pilot of the jet was rescued by

138
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:46,400
US special forces on Friday, but President Trump

139
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,200
said they waited to confirm as to not

140
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,180
jeopardize this second operation.

141
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,460
The president added, quote, this is the first

142
00:04:52,460 --> 00:04:55,120
time in military memory that two US pilots

143
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,860
have been rescued separately deep in enemy territory.

144
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,600
The IDF said they avoided striking this area

145
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,960
as American planes and helicopters flew at a

146
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,220
low altitude, hoping to find any sign of

147
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:05,940
the service member.

148
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Anything to set a record with this president.

149
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:12,000
First time, first time, first time any airman's

150
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,480
ever been rescued behind enemy lines.

151
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:16,600
I'm surprised he didn't slam dead John McCain.

152
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,160
Not like that McCain.

153
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,580
Ha ha.

154
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,900
You could have expected that from him.

155
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:25,180
I'm sorry.

156
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,060
He hasn't used a John McCain joke for

157
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:27,560
a long time.

158
00:05:27,580 --> 00:05:29,600
Well, McCain's dead, so it's not that funny.

159
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,260
This was an interesting rescue.

160
00:05:32,420 --> 00:05:36,320
They had paratroopers, CIA, all kinds of stuff

161
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:36,880
going on.

162
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:39,680
According to US officials, the rescued airmen and

163
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,520
all rescue crews are safely out of Iran.

164
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,160
A senior administration official tells NBC News the

165
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,780
CIA launched a deception campaign spreading word inside

166
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:50,240
Iran.

167
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960
It was probably on X and Facebook.

168
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:55,280
Hey, hey, hey guys, we're going to spread

169
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,220
some fake news over here with the CIA.

170
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,000
It tells NBC News the CIA launched a

171
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,800
deception campaign spreading word inside Iran that US

172
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,380
forces already found him.

173
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,940
And while the Iranians were confused and uncertain,

174
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:11,900
the agency used, quote, unique exquisite capabilities to

175
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,100
search for and find the American airman.

176
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:15,980
Unique and exquisite capability.

177
00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:16,820
Exquisite.

178
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:18,780
Not just any unique, exquisite.

179
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Tonight, the search is over for the second

180
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,900
US crew member of the F-15 E

181
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,060
-Strike Eagle that was shot down by Iran

182
00:06:25,060 --> 00:06:25,720
on Friday.

183
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,540
The pilot was rescued several hours after the

184
00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:30,260
plane went down, but the search for the

185
00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:33,460
second airman continued, taking rescue crews and special

186
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,920
operation forces more than a day to safely

187
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,680
locate him.

188
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:39,180
The two-seater fighter jet was shot down

189
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:40,800
in a remote area of Iran.

190
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,020
This is the first time a manned US

191
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:45,540
aircraft has been shot down behind enemy lines

192
00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:46,480
during this war.

193
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,740
President Trump calling this one of the most

194
00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,380
daring search and rescue operations in US history.

195
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:51,780
Ever!

196
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,420
Posting his reaction to social media saying in

197
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:57,380
part, this brave warrior was behind enemy lines

198
00:06:57,380 --> 00:06:59,900
in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted

199
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,100
down by our enemies, who were getting closer

200
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,220
and closer by the hour, but was never

201
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:07,480
truly alone, because his commander-in-chief, secretary

202
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800
of war, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

203
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,540
Staff, and fellow war fighters were monitoring his

204
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:16,360
location 24 hours a day, diligently planning for

205
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,020
his rescue.

206
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,940
At my direction, the US military sent dozens

207
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:22,560
of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons

208
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
in the world, to retrieve him.

209
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:54,980
I don't know.

210
00:07:55,180 --> 00:07:56,640
I'm missing that in this story.

211
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:57,760
You know what was interesting?

212
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,340
I was watching this, of course, you know,

213
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,940
like, oh man, we got one of our

214
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:06,120
guys is down, and is lost, and there's

215
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,600
all kinds of fake photos everywhere, particularly on

216
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,060
Telegram.

217
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:14,960
But this next report was consistent.

218
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,200
This is one little thing that everybody kept

219
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800
saying, which I found very peculiar.

220
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,820
Let's get more on our breaking news now.

221
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480
The rescue of the US airmen who's been

222
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,620
missing in Iran after their plane was shot

223
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:26,940
down.

224
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:29,380
John Hendren joins us now on the line

225
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:31,580
from Washington, D.C. John, what more can

226
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:32,220
you tell us?

227
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,159
Well, we were told by the US government

228
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,940
source that overnight in Iran, a missing crew

229
00:08:36,940 --> 00:08:40,880
member of the downed F-15 has been

230
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,080
located, and there was a rescue effort, but

231
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,880
there was a fierce firefight.

232
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000
The latest information we have is that that

233
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,720
crew member, and we don't have a gender,

234
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:57,080
is still, has not left Iranian territory, and

235
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,760
because of the ongoing hostilities, there could be

236
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,480
still danger to that person, also to other

237
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040
people involved in that rescue effort.

238
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:12,300
So this is an ongoing, active rescue effort,

239
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,660
but that airman is not safely out of

240
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:18,320
Iranian territory, and I want to be clear

241
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,100
when I say airman, in the US military

242
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:22,920
parlance, that doesn't necessarily mean a male, we

243
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,080
don't know the gender of this person.

244
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,060
The US rescue team still needs to successfully

245
00:09:29,060 --> 00:09:31,860
exfiltrate, get out of the country, and to

246
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:35,020
safety, and we have not confirmation that that

247
00:09:35,020 --> 00:09:35,520
has happened.

248
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,640
So this kept on going, all these reports,

249
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:40,380
we're not sure, it could be a she,

250
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:43,380
could be a he, unknown gender, airman is

251
00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:45,380
just something we say in the military, doesn't

252
00:09:45,380 --> 00:09:46,820
mean it's a man, could be a woman.

253
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,100
Where did this come from?

254
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,380
This was Al Jazeera, but they were all

255
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:51,760
doing it.

256
00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:53,900
CNN was doing it, everybody was doing it.

257
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:54,100
Al Jazeera?

258
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,020
Yeah.

259
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,040
They're hung up on gender?

260
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,120
They were all, it was the constant thing.

261
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:04,300
I only pulled this one clip because I

262
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,740
like how this guy sounds, he's sitting right

263
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,820
there at command.

264
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,200
But how hard was it to look up

265
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,000
how many female F-15 fighter pilots there

266
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,120
are?

267
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:16,940
I think three.

268
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,440
Of 5,000.

269
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:21,700
It wouldn't be that hard to figure out

270
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:22,500
it wasn't a woman?

271
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,280
I don't, it was strange.

272
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:30,270
It's like wokeness popped back in for some

273
00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:30,610
reason.

274
00:10:32,290 --> 00:10:33,210
This is very odd.

275
00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:33,670
Yeah.

276
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:36,070
That was my feeling about it too.

277
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,490
What is this?

278
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:40,710
Anyway, everybody's happy.

279
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:42,350
You got anything on this pilot?

280
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:45,810
I had a couple of clips before they

281
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:46,830
caught the guy.

282
00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:48,990
I X'd him out heck with it.

283
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:51,130
X'd him out.

284
00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:53,210
The guy apparently was, I heard all the

285
00:10:53,210 --> 00:10:56,870
reports this morning, is damaged, he's very injured.

286
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:58,930
Oh, okay.

287
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:00,990
Badly.

288
00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:02,790
Oh.

289
00:11:04,370 --> 00:11:05,750
How badly badly?

290
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:08,530
Well, badly enough that they would mention it.

291
00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:09,330
Okay.

292
00:11:09,490 --> 00:11:11,410
He probably got broken or something or other.

293
00:11:11,530 --> 00:11:11,970
Who knows.

294
00:11:12,990 --> 00:11:13,550
All right.

295
00:11:13,870 --> 00:11:16,370
I only have one Iran update by the

296
00:11:16,370 --> 00:11:16,690
way.

297
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:17,850
Okay.

298
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:20,930
And it says Iran update.

299
00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:21,570
Here we go.

300
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:24,870
Tonight, missiles lighting up the skies over the

301
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:25,450
Middle East.

302
00:11:25,830 --> 00:11:28,450
As Iran and the United States escalate attacks

303
00:11:28,450 --> 00:11:31,910
on key infrastructure, civilian sites also hit.

304
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:35,650
Iran saying U.S.-Israeli airstrikes ripped through a

305
00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:37,470
prominent university in Tehran.

306
00:11:37,470 --> 00:11:40,730
Video showing flames still burning inside.

307
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:44,370
And extensive damage to Iran's 100-year-old

308
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:45,690
medical research center.

309
00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:49,050
The director general of the WHO saying that

310
00:11:49,050 --> 00:11:50,810
since the start of the war, the WHO

311
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:53,670
has verified more than 20 attacks on healthcare

312
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:56,650
in Iran, resulting in at least 9 deaths.

313
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:59,270
Meanwhile, Iran's forces not letting up.

314
00:11:59,670 --> 00:12:02,670
Striking a desalination plant and oil refinery in

315
00:12:02,670 --> 00:12:02,830
Cuba.

316
00:12:02,830 --> 00:12:04,990
Why do we have a Brit on ABC?

317
00:12:05,770 --> 00:12:08,250
This is always puzzling to me.

318
00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:10,750
You always note this.

319
00:12:10,850 --> 00:12:11,350
I'm sorry.

320
00:12:11,610 --> 00:12:12,210
I'll keep going.

321
00:12:12,510 --> 00:12:16,170
It comes 24 hours after the U.S.

322
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:18,590
struck this critical bridge linking the city of

323
00:12:18,590 --> 00:12:19,790
Karaj with Tehran.

324
00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:22,370
Iranian state media saying more than a dozen

325
00:12:22,370 --> 00:12:22,990
were killed.

326
00:12:23,450 --> 00:12:26,210
And tonight, new satellite images showing the destruction

327
00:12:26,210 --> 00:12:28,270
at bases hosting U.S. troops in the

328
00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:28,590
region.

329
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:31,910
At least 365 U.S. service members have

330
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:34,050
been wounded since the war with Iran began

331
00:12:34,050 --> 00:12:35,030
five weeks ago.

332
00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:37,070
13 killed in action.

333
00:12:38,610 --> 00:12:41,070
And Lindsay, more reports of heavy bombing in

334
00:12:41,070 --> 00:12:43,850
Iran's capital Tehran tonight and the regime firing

335
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:45,130
back towards Israel.

336
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:49,010
Yeah, you know, if you want to get

337
00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:51,530
any news, you have to go to the

338
00:12:51,530 --> 00:12:54,310
Indian Pakistani news services now.

339
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:55,550
They're jumping in.

340
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:58,330
Most of their stuff is just, you can't

341
00:12:58,330 --> 00:12:59,470
understand these people.

342
00:12:59,630 --> 00:13:00,730
No fault of theirs.

343
00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:06,830
But, and then they'll use AI voices, which

344
00:13:06,830 --> 00:13:09,830
makes it completely discredited.

345
00:13:10,670 --> 00:13:14,410
But the IRGC went on, well, the Times

346
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:17,070
of India had an update, an Iranian update

347
00:13:17,070 --> 00:13:19,250
from the IRGC, and here it is.

348
00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:21,130
As we have stated, we declare to the

349
00:13:21,130 --> 00:13:24,530
American Zionist enemies that your information about our

350
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:27,950
military capabilities, power, and equipment is incomplete.

351
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:31,930
You know nothing of our vast and strategic

352
00:13:31,930 --> 00:13:32,830
capabilities.

353
00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:35,450
Do not hope that you have destroyed our

354
00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:40,370
strategic missile production sites, long-range offensive drones,

355
00:13:40,630 --> 00:13:43,930
modern air defense, and electronic warfare systems, or

356
00:13:43,930 --> 00:13:45,110
special equipment.

357
00:13:45,610 --> 00:13:48,010
With such a belief, you will only deepen

358
00:13:48,010 --> 00:13:51,010
the quagmire in which you have trapped yourselves.

359
00:13:51,610 --> 00:13:53,770
The centers you mistakenly believe you have targeted

360
00:13:53,770 --> 00:13:55,630
are utterly insignificant.

361
00:13:55,630 --> 00:13:56,830
You know nothing.

362
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,110
I love these guys.

363
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:00,510
Like a Woody Allen bit.

364
00:14:01,010 --> 00:14:04,570
Bring Marshall McLuhan in from behind the palm

365
00:14:04,570 --> 00:14:04,870
tree.

366
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:06,090
The guy is great.

367
00:14:06,390 --> 00:14:07,350
He's funny.

368
00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:09,010
Like, you know nothing.

369
00:14:09,230 --> 00:14:11,110
We've got all kinds of cool stuff here.

370
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:15,030
It's like everybody over in Iran is a

371
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:16,150
Baghdad Bob.

372
00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:17,130
Very much so.

373
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:17,990
Very much so.

374
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:20,870
Now, there's, I'm receiving all, speaking of Baghdad,

375
00:14:20,950 --> 00:14:24,090
I'm receiving all these reports that Iraqis are

376
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:25,250
protesting everywhere.

377
00:14:25,830 --> 00:14:28,510
I can't really find any video of it,

378
00:14:28,570 --> 00:14:30,430
which I think in this day and age

379
00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:31,390
is kind of strange.

380
00:14:31,530 --> 00:14:34,210
Why would the actual Iraqis be protesting?

381
00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:36,610
The Iranians in Iraq might be.

382
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:37,390
Well, no.

383
00:14:37,550 --> 00:14:41,330
It's Iraqis who are protesting and they're mad.

384
00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:42,970
About what?

385
00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:45,610
Well, because people are getting killed around the

386
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:46,030
bases.

387
00:14:47,250 --> 00:14:47,970
Oh, yeah.

388
00:14:49,070 --> 00:14:54,430
Thousands thousands Sadr supporters in Baghdad.

389
00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:57,230
No to Israel.

390
00:14:57,370 --> 00:14:58,190
No to America.

391
00:14:59,150 --> 00:15:00,030
No video clips.

392
00:15:00,870 --> 00:15:02,910
But Al Jazeera has all kinds of pictures.

393
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:04,910
How can Al Jazeera have pictures and no

394
00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:05,250
video?

395
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:07,650
It just doesn't make sense to me.

396
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:09,210
It doesn't make sense.

397
00:15:10,590 --> 00:15:12,410
I think we're getting bad reporting.

398
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:13,910
Yes.

399
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:17,670
But we're getting some fun stuff here at

400
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:17,870
home.

401
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:49,990
Marco Rubio wrote on X The Trump administration

402
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:52,470
will not allow our country to become home

403
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:55,450
to foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist

404
00:15:55,450 --> 00:15:56,170
regimes.

405
00:15:57,630 --> 00:16:01,150
In 2020 fiery protests erupted in the Middle

406
00:16:01,150 --> 00:16:03,690
East when the major general was assassinated by

407
00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:06,570
the Trump administration during a targeted strike while

408
00:16:06,570 --> 00:16:07,730
he was visiting Iraq.

409
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:10,930
On Wednesday President Trump referenced his killing of

410
00:16:10,930 --> 00:16:13,230
the major general during his address to Americans

411
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:14,770
about the war in Iran.

412
00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:18,030
He was an evil genius brilliant person.

413
00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:19,930
Horrible human being.

414
00:16:20,130 --> 00:16:22,450
I would have changed that script for the

415
00:16:22,450 --> 00:16:22,850
president.

416
00:16:23,570 --> 00:16:25,730
I would have said, Mr. President don't call

417
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:26,750
him an evil genius.

418
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:29,030
That's not the right thing.

419
00:16:29,190 --> 00:16:31,310
To Americans about the war in Iran.

420
00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:35,370
He was an evil genius brilliant person a

421
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:36,890
horrible human being, however.

422
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,310
If he lived, we would have had probably

423
00:16:39,310 --> 00:16:41,170
a different conversation tonight.

424
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:42,150
But you know what?

425
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:43,850
We'd still be winning and winning big.

426
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:47,230
Afshar and her daughter's green cards now permanently

427
00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:47,910
revoked.

428
00:16:48,510 --> 00:16:50,130
What a time we live in where the

429
00:16:50,130 --> 00:16:52,470
secretary of state doesn't do a news conference

430
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:53,730
just does a post on X.

431
00:16:54,810 --> 00:16:56,430
And we're taking her visa away.

432
00:16:56,530 --> 00:16:57,030
Get out.

433
00:16:58,030 --> 00:16:58,490
Get out.

434
00:16:59,250 --> 00:17:01,570
You celebrate the death of Americans, you're gone.

435
00:17:02,410 --> 00:17:04,589
I heard that she denied all this.

436
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,930
And she says I'm no relation.

437
00:17:07,430 --> 00:17:08,609
But she's gone.

438
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:09,990
It's tough.

439
00:17:10,329 --> 00:17:10,609
Tough.

440
00:17:10,609 --> 00:17:11,950
It's a fog of war, John.

441
00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:13,930
Stuff happens.

442
00:17:15,609 --> 00:17:17,510
Well, is that going the way I predicted?

443
00:17:18,609 --> 00:17:19,390
No, no.

444
00:17:19,609 --> 00:17:21,130
It's going to be another two or three

445
00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:22,829
weeks, give or take a couple days.

446
00:17:22,930 --> 00:17:24,210
Which means it won't be two or three.

447
00:17:24,369 --> 00:17:25,369
That means it's going to go on and

448
00:17:25,369 --> 00:17:25,930
on and on.

449
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:26,569
Maybe.

450
00:17:28,170 --> 00:17:30,350
I actually think you're kind of partially right.

451
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:34,110
I'm pretty sure that we're going to get

452
00:17:34,110 --> 00:17:39,950
to a point where we leave and the

453
00:17:39,950 --> 00:17:42,050
straights will just figure it out for yourself.

454
00:17:42,290 --> 00:17:44,570
Do you need energy from the straights?

455
00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:46,130
You got to go get it yourself.

456
00:17:47,030 --> 00:17:49,490
The thing I thought was kind of interesting

457
00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:52,130
in terms of there's all these different theories

458
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:54,590
about what's really going on and whether Trump

459
00:17:54,590 --> 00:17:57,110
was trapped into this by the neocons.

460
00:17:58,350 --> 00:18:01,330
And one of the things is they want

461
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:03,650
to grab that, I guess, almost nearly a

462
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:07,530
thousand pounds of enriched uranium, send in some

463
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:09,950
troops, grab the stuff, and then we can

464
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:10,350
flee.

465
00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:17,050
But everything I've read indicates that this stuff

466
00:18:17,050 --> 00:18:19,510
was buried with one of those bombing attacks.

467
00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:21,110
You can't get to it.

468
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:23,390
First you have to excavate the area to

469
00:18:23,390 --> 00:18:25,510
get the stuff out, which would take a

470
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:25,870
month.

471
00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:28,990
And then you have to protect the area

472
00:18:28,990 --> 00:18:29,910
with the troops.

473
00:18:31,070 --> 00:18:33,010
Everything's become very impractical.

474
00:18:33,010 --> 00:18:36,410
Well, unless you're looking at some other things

475
00:18:36,410 --> 00:18:38,390
that the president wants to achieve.

476
00:18:39,310 --> 00:18:43,570
This report suggests that maybe part of what

477
00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:45,550
he wanted to achieve is being achieved.

478
00:18:45,730 --> 00:18:46,410
Listen carefully.

479
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:48,810
Iran has developed a plan to charge a

480
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:50,870
toll to oil tankers passing through the Strait

481
00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:53,310
of Hormuz of approximately one U.S. dollar

482
00:18:53,310 --> 00:18:55,530
per barrel with payments to be made in

483
00:18:55,530 --> 00:18:57,510
Chinese Yuan or stable coins.

484
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:58,410
Hello!

485
00:18:59,010 --> 00:18:59,350
Hello!

486
00:18:59,810 --> 00:19:00,810
Stable coins!

487
00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:02,710
We got the payment rails going.

488
00:19:02,790 --> 00:19:05,490
There's no other stable coin than a USD

489
00:19:05,490 --> 00:19:06,370
stable coin.

490
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:09,270
So that could be a big win.

491
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:10,510
That's interesting.

492
00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:11,930
Mm-hmm.

493
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:14,710
Uh...

494
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:17,530
I mean, yeah, yes, we have higher gas

495
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:18,010
prices.

496
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:18,930
Yes.

497
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:21,890
But it's nothing compared to what's going on

498
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:22,690
around the world.

499
00:19:23,290 --> 00:19:26,230
And the energy crisis is crazy.

500
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:29,010
The head of the International Energy Agency is

501
00:19:29,010 --> 00:19:30,850
warning that it could take up to six

502
00:19:30,850 --> 00:19:33,670
months to restore oil and gas flows from

503
00:19:33,670 --> 00:19:34,130
the Gulf.

504
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:37,710
Fatih Birol told the Financial Times that the

505
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:39,630
world is facing what could be the most

506
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:41,810
severe energy crisis in history.

507
00:19:42,370 --> 00:19:44,710
He also warned that politicians and markets are

508
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:47,490
underestimating the scale of the disruption.

509
00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:49,810
Let's take you live now to the New

510
00:19:49,810 --> 00:19:50,390
York Stock Exchange.

511
00:19:50,410 --> 00:19:51,370
Can you stop that clip?

512
00:19:51,650 --> 00:19:51,810
Yeah.

513
00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:53,670
Let me ask you a logical question.

514
00:19:54,330 --> 00:19:55,790
When they come up with these kind of

515
00:19:55,790 --> 00:19:58,590
assertions, it's going to take six months.

516
00:19:59,830 --> 00:20:00,110
Okay.

517
00:20:00,290 --> 00:20:04,430
You stop the energy supply for four weeks.

518
00:20:05,530 --> 00:20:07,070
Then you release it.

519
00:20:07,410 --> 00:20:11,250
Now, why would it take six months to

520
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:12,070
catch up?

521
00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:14,830
It should take four weeks.

522
00:20:15,070 --> 00:20:17,590
Well, I've asked you this about fertilizer and

523
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:18,190
some other things.

524
00:20:18,210 --> 00:20:20,650
Some things take time to start up.

525
00:20:21,150 --> 00:20:22,870
But the actual oil?

526
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:24,250
I'm with you on that.

527
00:20:24,250 --> 00:20:29,130
Does it take extra months to transport it?

528
00:20:29,170 --> 00:20:29,790
I'm not sure.

529
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:30,930
I'm not sure.

530
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:34,850
They're just exaggerating to scare the public.

531
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:37,870
Or to bounce markets.

532
00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:38,970
How about that?

533
00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:44,670
There's even reports that there are tankers with

534
00:20:44,670 --> 00:20:47,670
oil who are running around in circles out

535
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:50,330
in the ocean not unloading, for instance, in

536
00:20:50,330 --> 00:20:53,470
the port of Rotterdam in, what's the name

537
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:53,830
of this?

538
00:20:53,930 --> 00:20:57,450
There's some outfit that does this all the

539
00:20:57,450 --> 00:20:57,970
time.

540
00:20:59,990 --> 00:21:01,470
I'll have to look for it.

541
00:21:02,930 --> 00:21:04,610
Terrafuga or something like that.

542
00:21:04,690 --> 00:21:05,950
These guys have been known to do it.

543
00:21:06,010 --> 00:21:07,770
It's like, well, we've got the oil, but

544
00:21:07,770 --> 00:21:09,530
we're just going to do some circles for

545
00:21:09,530 --> 00:21:11,130
a little bit and get that price jacked

546
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:11,230
up.

547
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:12,330
That's what I think this is.

548
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:14,710
This is market manipulation.

549
00:21:15,050 --> 00:21:16,330
Oh, it's going to take forever.

550
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:18,990
Estimating the scale of the disruption.

551
00:21:18,990 --> 00:21:21,310
Let's take you live now to the New

552
00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:23,850
York Stock Exchange where the market has just

553
00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:24,490
closed for the day.

554
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:26,890
Al Jazeera's Kristen Salumi is there.

555
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:28,830
How did the market fare today, Kristen?

556
00:21:28,890 --> 00:21:29,110
There you go.

557
00:21:29,230 --> 00:21:30,810
It's a financial report, so we've got to

558
00:21:30,810 --> 00:21:31,970
freak everybody out.

559
00:21:32,350 --> 00:21:35,630
Yes, well, climbing oil prices and fears of

560
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:38,430
higher interest rates continue to weigh down the

561
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:38,790
markets.

562
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:41,970
We're seeing all of the major stock indexes

563
00:21:41,970 --> 00:21:43,350
in the red again today.

564
00:21:43,410 --> 00:21:46,330
The Dow Jones Industrial Average down a percent.

565
00:21:46,330 --> 00:21:49,870
The NASDAQ closing down two percent and more

566
00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:51,930
telling even than that is that this is

567
00:21:51,930 --> 00:21:54,350
the fourth week in a row that the

568
00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:56,810
indexes have been trading lower.

569
00:21:57,390 --> 00:22:00,730
And this as oil prices remain elevated in

570
00:22:00,730 --> 00:22:04,470
particular, the Brent crude, the international benchmark trading

571
00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:06,610
at $110 a barrel.

572
00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:08,910
So help me understand something because we have

573
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:11,590
two numbers and I think I finally understand

574
00:22:11,590 --> 00:22:13,190
what the difference is between the two numbers.

575
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:17,350
We have the spot market which where oil

576
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:20,670
is somewhere at $135, $140 a barrel.

577
00:22:20,790 --> 00:22:21,830
Then we have the Brent.

578
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:24,730
Now, the Brent is futures?

579
00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:25,770
Is that what I'm understanding?

580
00:22:25,770 --> 00:22:26,110
No, no, no.

581
00:22:26,170 --> 00:22:28,510
Brent is a type of oil and you

582
00:22:28,510 --> 00:22:30,350
compare that to what you compare it to

583
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:34,430
in the pricing is compared to WTI which

584
00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:35,670
is West Texas Intermediate.

585
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:37,990
It's got nothing to do with any of

586
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:38,590
those other numbers.

587
00:22:38,850 --> 00:22:41,610
So Brent is $110 but the spot is

588
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:42,030
$140.

589
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:44,130
What is this difference?

590
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:45,230
I don't understand that.

591
00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:46,930
I think one is the normal way of

592
00:22:46,930 --> 00:22:48,730
true normal channels.

593
00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:49,710
In other words, you want to buy it

594
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:50,090
immediately.

595
00:22:50,250 --> 00:22:51,370
You want to get some right now.

596
00:22:51,450 --> 00:22:52,070
You want some oil?

597
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:55,970
Hey, so I want it right now.

598
00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:56,470
I need it.

599
00:22:56,570 --> 00:22:57,330
I got some in my pocket.

600
00:22:57,670 --> 00:23:00,110
Well, this is what's happening with gasoline for

601
00:23:00,110 --> 00:23:01,890
vehicles in Europe.

602
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:05,390
In Barcelona, drivers filling up their cars know

603
00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:07,150
it won't cost them full price.

604
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:09,810
The government has decided to lower the VAT

605
00:23:09,810 --> 00:23:13,030
on fuel from 21% to 10%.

606
00:23:13,030 --> 00:23:14,590
This is fantastic.

607
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:19,830
So the price of gas at the pump

608
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:23,970
has increased significantly so the government is saying

609
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:26,210
we're going to make it the same price

610
00:23:26,210 --> 00:23:29,830
by lowering our value added tax from 21

611
00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:34,430
to 10 which at the end of the

612
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:36,710
day, the government is going to have a

613
00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:40,170
shortfall on their tax revenue which will come

614
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:41,950
right back to bite everybody in the butt

615
00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:42,330
later.

616
00:23:43,070 --> 00:23:46,310
This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen

617
00:23:47,330 --> 00:23:48,570
governments do.

618
00:23:49,790 --> 00:23:52,490
They're doing that in various states around the

619
00:23:52,490 --> 00:23:53,070
USA.

620
00:23:53,470 --> 00:23:58,730
Certain areas are knocking off their onerous, not

621
00:23:58,730 --> 00:24:00,890
in California by the way, but in other

622
00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:02,610
places they're taking the taxes off.

623
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:04,650
What good are these taxes?

624
00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:05,650
Why have them on there at all?

625
00:24:05,650 --> 00:24:07,250
The taxes are bogus anyway.

626
00:24:07,810 --> 00:24:11,430
VAT on fuel from 21% to 10%.

627
00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:14,050
The measure is expected to save drivers an

628
00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:15,870
average of 30 cents per litre.

629
00:24:16,210 --> 00:24:18,390
It's a welcome relief for many Spaniards at

630
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,310
the start of the long Easter weekend.

631
00:24:20,730 --> 00:24:22,170
That's a saving of 12 euros.

632
00:24:22,490 --> 00:24:23,090
That's not bad.

633
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:26,650
We're in a better economic situation than France.

634
00:24:26,850 --> 00:24:28,410
That's why our government can afford to do

635
00:24:28,410 --> 00:24:28,710
this.

636
00:24:29,030 --> 00:24:30,070
That's not the case in France.

637
00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:32,090
Good luck.

638
00:24:32,510 --> 00:24:33,790
I hope you'll have that soon too.

639
00:24:35,070 --> 00:24:37,510
The measures are due to remain in place

640
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:39,010
until the 30th of June.

641
00:24:39,370 --> 00:24:42,130
The Polish government has also taken steps to

642
00:24:42,130 --> 00:24:44,310
prevent citizens from paying too much at the

643
00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:44,630
pump.

644
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:47,570
As well as lowering VAT, the government has

645
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:49,890
also introduced a daily price cap on fuel.

646
00:24:50,530 --> 00:24:52,930
For this taxi driver, who drives up to

647
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:55,770
300 km a day, the measures make a

648
00:24:55,770 --> 00:24:56,290
big difference.

649
00:24:57,450 --> 00:24:59,650
To put it simply, rates today are almost

650
00:24:59,650 --> 00:25:02,650
back to where they were before prices skyrocketed.

651
00:25:02,930 --> 00:25:05,150
Without these measures, he would have had to

652
00:25:05,150 --> 00:25:07,750
add an extra 12 euros to each fare.

653
00:25:08,010 --> 00:25:10,570
Over the course of a month, that amounts

654
00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:13,190
to almost 300 euros in savings.

655
00:25:13,670 --> 00:25:15,770
So yes, the measures are essential.

656
00:25:16,450 --> 00:25:18,910
In Lithuania, the government has opted for a

657
00:25:18,910 --> 00:25:22,210
different approach, encouraging people to take the train

658
00:25:22,210 --> 00:25:25,250
instead of driving, by offering half-price tickets.

659
00:25:25,550 --> 00:25:27,990
We will closely monitor train ticket sales, and

660
00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:29,990
if demand is high, we will add more

661
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:30,550
carriages.

662
00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:33,410
The measure will remain in place until the

663
00:25:33,410 --> 00:25:34,490
31st of May.

664
00:25:34,670 --> 00:25:38,030
So, the crisis, I was talking to Kristina

665
00:25:38,030 --> 00:25:40,490
the other day, and they have gas in

666
00:25:40,490 --> 00:25:42,210
their old home for cooking.

667
00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:43,270
It's tripled.

668
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:44,650
Price has tripled.

669
00:25:45,550 --> 00:25:47,790
I don't see any real reason for that

670
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:49,950
to have happened at this very moment, but

671
00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:52,210
I guess they used to have a lot

672
00:25:52,210 --> 00:25:54,810
of gas everywhere, until they decided to stick

673
00:25:54,810 --> 00:25:56,350
windmills into the North Sea.

674
00:25:56,350 --> 00:25:58,750
Instead of getting the gas out of it.

675
00:25:59,570 --> 00:26:03,530
In Germany, they are messing with the laws

676
00:26:03,530 --> 00:26:04,150
of nature.

677
00:26:04,910 --> 00:26:06,210
The faster, the better.

678
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:08,870
That's the motto of many German drivers.

679
00:26:09,210 --> 00:26:10,930
For them, speed is freedom.

680
00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:14,110
It's a pure adrenaline rush, the whole time.

681
00:26:14,290 --> 00:26:16,170
Like when a plane takes off, and you're

682
00:26:16,170 --> 00:26:17,490
pressed back into your seat.

683
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:20,550
It reduces stress, and does you good.

684
00:26:21,490 --> 00:26:22,570
Basically, it's a drug.

685
00:26:23,030 --> 00:26:23,890
A legal drug.

686
00:26:23,890 --> 00:26:26,690
But that could soon come to a halt.

687
00:26:28,350 --> 00:26:30,130
30 kilometers an hour.

688
00:26:30,670 --> 00:26:32,790
That's now the speed limit in more and

689
00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:34,170
more German inner cities.

690
00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:35,130
Like Aachen.

691
00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:37,550
It's a sign of the times, but one

692
00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:39,990
that doesn't sit well with Kemal Isak and

693
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:40,890
his brother Cem.

694
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:44,410
The two car tuners feel they're being unfairly

695
00:26:44,410 --> 00:26:44,710
targeted.

696
00:26:45,530 --> 00:26:48,470
Where it's appropriate, and about people's safety, especially

697
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:50,430
for children, kids going to school in the

698
00:26:50,430 --> 00:26:52,250
morning, it's absolutely justified.

699
00:26:53,050 --> 00:26:55,050
But there are plenty of places where it's

700
00:26:55,050 --> 00:26:55,770
not necessary.

701
00:26:56,590 --> 00:26:58,770
Also in other zooms, where the speed limit

702
00:26:58,770 --> 00:26:59,810
is higher than 30.

703
00:27:00,630 --> 00:27:02,030
There you can see it's not just about

704
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:04,970
the speed limit and safety, but rather, let's

705
00:27:04,970 --> 00:27:05,690
call it arbitrary.

706
00:27:06,030 --> 00:27:06,530
Just arbitrary.

707
00:27:07,270 --> 00:27:08,190
Everyone's mad.

708
00:27:08,370 --> 00:27:10,970
You can't limit our fastness in Germany?

709
00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:11,850
That's un-German.

710
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:14,030
Sie ist nicht deutsch.

711
00:27:15,250 --> 00:27:17,650
France 24 says the EU is not sincere.

712
00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:18,790
This is really bad.

713
00:27:18,790 --> 00:27:21,470
For more, we're joined now by Francesco Sassi,

714
00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:24,050
Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science

715
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:26,190
at the University of Oslo.

716
00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:28,110
Thanks so much, Professor, for being with us

717
00:27:28,110 --> 00:27:29,570
on the programme this evening.

718
00:27:30,010 --> 00:27:32,670
Let's start with this so-called toolbox of

719
00:27:32,670 --> 00:27:34,630
new measures that the EU is going to

720
00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:35,610
be rolling out.

721
00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:37,530
We know that it's going to include proposals

722
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:41,090
on lowering tax rates for electricity and grid

723
00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:41,630
tariffs.

724
00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:44,370
But what exactly needs to be done at

725
00:27:44,370 --> 00:27:47,170
this point to help Europeans and people outside

726
00:27:47,170 --> 00:27:49,030
the EU as well deal with this current

727
00:27:49,030 --> 00:27:49,490
crisis?

728
00:27:49,950 --> 00:27:51,950
First of all, thanks for the invitation to

729
00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:53,370
be here tonight with you.

730
00:27:54,370 --> 00:27:57,690
Let me begin with some honest truth.

731
00:27:58,030 --> 00:28:01,170
The EU has not been so sincere with

732
00:28:01,170 --> 00:28:01,790
the population.

733
00:28:02,570 --> 00:28:07,330
We are facing indeed the largest supply disruption

734
00:28:07,330 --> 00:28:10,230
of oil in the oil market coming from

735
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,570
the Middle East right now.

736
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,910
We have never seen such a disruption in

737
00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:16,970
the history of energy markets.

738
00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:19,710
And the EU is not really communicating this.

739
00:28:19,770 --> 00:28:24,790
The population is preparing some vague measures in

740
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:30,050
this toolbox of reduced prices, reduced taxes, sorry,

741
00:28:30,210 --> 00:28:34,650
on electricity and other kinds of energy products.

742
00:28:34,830 --> 00:28:36,250
I think he's right.

743
00:28:36,410 --> 00:28:38,570
I think the European Union has lied to

744
00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:41,930
their constituents saying it's OK.

745
00:28:41,930 --> 00:28:44,310
We don't need any of that stuff.

746
00:28:44,370 --> 00:28:45,270
Certainly not from Russia.

747
00:28:45,410 --> 00:28:46,550
We've got windmills.

748
00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:48,370
We've got solar.

749
00:28:48,910 --> 00:28:50,350
We don't need the nuclear plants.

750
00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:53,190
I think this is coming home to roost

751
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:53,730
right now.

752
00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:56,330
And remember when the Germans were laughing at

753
00:28:56,330 --> 00:28:56,630
Trump?

754
00:28:57,030 --> 00:28:58,810
When he said, you're going to be dependent

755
00:28:58,810 --> 00:29:00,290
on the Russians for your energy.

756
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:01,730
Was it the United Nations?

757
00:29:02,350 --> 00:29:02,650
Yeah.

758
00:29:04,090 --> 00:29:05,530
Stupid orange man.

759
00:29:06,150 --> 00:29:09,250
So the result is exactly what you'd expect.

760
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:12,370
Russia's LNG exports to Europe have hit a

761
00:29:12,370 --> 00:29:15,010
record high in March 2026.

762
00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:15,570
What?

763
00:29:16,030 --> 00:29:18,050
I thought it was all banned.

764
00:29:18,450 --> 00:29:19,350
Oh, OK.

765
00:29:19,890 --> 00:29:20,970
I guess not.

766
00:29:21,450 --> 00:29:21,790
No.

767
00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:25,790
...from the Middle East reshapes global energy flows.

768
00:29:26,650 --> 00:29:29,510
According to data compiled from Bruegel and reported

769
00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:32,910
by TASS, Russian LNG deliveries to the European

770
00:29:32,910 --> 00:29:37,130
Union surged to 2.46 billion cubic metres,

771
00:29:37,130 --> 00:29:39,270
an all-time monthly high.

772
00:29:39,810 --> 00:29:41,750
The spike comes as conflict in the Middle

773
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:45,490
East disrupts key energy routes, including the Strait

774
00:29:45,490 --> 00:29:49,510
of Hormuz, sharply reducing LNG flows from the

775
00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:49,850
region.

776
00:29:50,270 --> 00:29:50,570
OK.

777
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:55,290
So the kicker is they've been lying about

778
00:29:55,290 --> 00:29:56,450
Russia all along.

779
00:29:56,770 --> 00:29:57,790
All along.

780
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:01,230
This week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said some

781
00:30:01,230 --> 00:30:03,710
of his allies asked him to scale back

782
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:06,410
attacks on the Russian oil and gas sector,

783
00:30:06,850 --> 00:30:07,570
like this one.

784
00:30:07,910 --> 00:30:10,610
Hey, Vlad, stop hitting the gas and oil

785
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:11,270
stuff, man.

786
00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:12,770
We need that over here in Europe.

787
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:15,930
...even though Russia's ability to fund the war

788
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:19,450
in Ukraine is being hugely boosted by high

789
00:30:19,450 --> 00:30:20,770
oil and gas prices.

790
00:30:21,050 --> 00:30:23,410
If we're talking about three months or six

791
00:30:23,410 --> 00:30:26,970
months, they might get anywhere from $100 to

792
00:30:26,970 --> 00:30:30,990
$150 billion in additional revenues.

793
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:34,250
For four years, Ukraine's allies have piled sanctions

794
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:37,450
on Russian oil and gas exports, forcing Moscow

795
00:30:37,450 --> 00:30:39,630
to use a so-called shadow fleet of

796
00:30:39,630 --> 00:30:40,270
tankers.

797
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:44,290
Hundreds of aging vessels under false flags, often

798
00:30:44,290 --> 00:30:46,410
with tracking systems turned off.

799
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:49,450
There's extreme risks associated with these vessels.

800
00:30:49,610 --> 00:30:51,190
They're oftentimes not insured.

801
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:53,870
The UK says it will soon join other

802
00:30:53,870 --> 00:30:56,790
European nations in seizing at least some of

803
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:58,870
those vessels in European waters.

804
00:30:59,310 --> 00:31:01,590
So why, at the same time, would some

805
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:04,710
allies ask Zelensky to hold back on attacking

806
00:31:04,710 --> 00:31:05,590
Russian energy?

807
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:08,470
Well, around a quarter of the world's oil

808
00:31:08,470 --> 00:31:11,310
supply comes from Gulf countries, much of that

809
00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:14,410
now impacted by the Iran War, but almost

810
00:31:14,410 --> 00:31:17,210
12% more comes from Russia.

811
00:31:17,670 --> 00:31:20,310
To keep that flowing, the US has already

812
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:22,730
lifted sanctions on some Russian oil.

813
00:31:22,990 --> 00:31:25,130
The net effect here is not only that

814
00:31:25,130 --> 00:31:27,630
these parties will be able to sell that

815
00:31:27,630 --> 00:31:29,810
oil to the tune of billions of dollars,

816
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:32,010
but it also now frees up their capacity

817
00:31:32,010 --> 00:31:34,090
so they can start moving new cargo that's

818
00:31:34,090 --> 00:31:35,350
oftentimes illicit, too.

819
00:31:35,610 --> 00:31:38,610
The European Union has also delayed some stronger

820
00:31:38,610 --> 00:31:40,530
oil and gas sanctions on Russia.

821
00:31:41,050 --> 00:31:43,310
They cannot, at the same time, give more

822
00:31:43,310 --> 00:31:46,150
money to Russia while they're spending on rearmament

823
00:31:46,150 --> 00:31:47,190
against Russia.

824
00:31:47,370 --> 00:31:48,750
Of course, the risk is the US.

825
00:31:48,910 --> 00:31:51,230
So decisions made across the West in the

826
00:31:51,230 --> 00:31:54,170
coming months could signal just how much it

827
00:31:54,170 --> 00:31:56,450
is willing to pay to support Ukraine.

828
00:31:56,450 --> 00:32:00,390
So, you can look at it as, well,

829
00:32:00,450 --> 00:32:02,190
we're not getting out of there fast enough,

830
00:32:02,330 --> 00:32:05,470
or look at what we're doing to Europe,

831
00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:11,190
the UK, some Asian countries, China in particular,

832
00:32:14,150 --> 00:32:16,410
and that we've got stablecoin running.

833
00:32:17,650 --> 00:32:20,670
Maybe that's what this was about to some

834
00:32:20,670 --> 00:32:21,050
degree?

835
00:32:21,670 --> 00:32:24,170
Yeah, that's far-fetched.

836
00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:27,410
I mean, I like the idea.

837
00:32:27,850 --> 00:32:29,330
Far-fetched is my middle name, brother.

838
00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:33,190
But I can't think these guys aren't that

839
00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:33,690
sharp.

840
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:37,230
I don't know.

841
00:32:38,610 --> 00:32:39,550
I don't know.

842
00:32:40,450 --> 00:32:42,310
Meanwhile, it's costing us a lot of money

843
00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:43,510
to be over there.

844
00:32:43,590 --> 00:32:45,450
We've got three aircraft carriers.

845
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:48,670
We've got all these jets flying around burning

846
00:32:48,670 --> 00:32:49,190
fuel.

847
00:32:51,390 --> 00:32:52,510
It's really...

848
00:32:52,510 --> 00:32:54,830
Asking for more money from Congress.

849
00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:57,130
How much money do these...

850
00:32:57,130 --> 00:32:58,490
Hey, I have an idea.

851
00:33:00,150 --> 00:33:01,730
Audit the Pentagon.

852
00:33:02,530 --> 00:33:05,410
Well, okay, I have a theory about that.

853
00:33:05,490 --> 00:33:08,730
First, from what I understand, it's about $380

854
00:33:08,730 --> 00:33:09,950
million a day.

855
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:17,890
So, we're at $18-20 billion, which is,

856
00:33:18,050 --> 00:33:20,610
compared to what NASA just is, kind of

857
00:33:20,610 --> 00:33:20,850
cheap.

858
00:33:21,950 --> 00:33:24,170
But this is the thing that keeps coming

859
00:33:24,170 --> 00:33:27,910
back, and it's actually something you introduced to

860
00:33:27,910 --> 00:33:30,510
the show on the last episode that got

861
00:33:30,510 --> 00:33:31,550
me thinking about this.

862
00:33:31,550 --> 00:33:33,390
This is the defense budget.

863
00:33:33,610 --> 00:33:35,610
The president wants to boost military spending by

864
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:38,030
more than a trillion dollars while proposing slashing

865
00:33:38,030 --> 00:33:39,850
domestic programs here at home.

866
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:41,830
And John Hopperstead in the newsroom with more

867
00:33:41,830 --> 00:33:44,010
on what would be a historic increase.

868
00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:44,730
John, good morning.

869
00:33:45,030 --> 00:33:45,410
Good morning, Bill.

870
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:48,210
Yeah, this would be $1.5 trillion for

871
00:33:48,210 --> 00:33:50,010
defense, and that would be the highest level

872
00:33:50,010 --> 00:33:52,570
of military spending in modern history.

873
00:33:52,750 --> 00:33:54,630
As we take a live look at the

874
00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:56,390
Capitol this morning, we expect to hear a

875
00:33:56,390 --> 00:33:58,570
response from some lawmakers, many of whom will

876
00:33:58,570 --> 00:34:00,830
be shocked at this hefty price.

877
00:34:01,170 --> 00:34:03,130
The president has signaled that the military, though,

878
00:34:03,170 --> 00:34:06,270
is his priority, especially with the ongoing conflict

879
00:34:06,270 --> 00:34:06,970
in Iran.

880
00:34:07,310 --> 00:34:08,989
But it's a big ask, with the country

881
00:34:08,989 --> 00:34:12,350
running nearly $2 trillion annual deficits, and the

882
00:34:12,350 --> 00:34:15,070
debt heading past $39 trillion.

883
00:34:15,469 --> 00:34:17,670
And then there is concern about what kind

884
00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:20,050
of programs here at home could be cut.

885
00:34:20,110 --> 00:34:21,630
Here's a look at some of them in

886
00:34:21,630 --> 00:34:22,909
this proposed budget.

887
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:28,510
$768 million to refugee resettlement programs, $5 billion

888
00:34:28,510 --> 00:34:31,489
to National Institutes of Health, which many say

889
00:34:31,489 --> 00:34:33,810
perform critical medical research in this country.

890
00:34:34,170 --> 00:34:36,550
The administration proposed $20 billion in cuts to

891
00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:38,670
the NIH last year, but Congress rejected it.

892
00:34:38,670 --> 00:34:43,170
And $356 million to administration for strategic preparedness

893
00:34:43,170 --> 00:34:43,969
and response.

894
00:34:44,130 --> 00:34:46,969
This helps the country prepare for public health

895
00:34:46,969 --> 00:34:50,030
emergencies and then also respond to them, but

896
00:34:50,030 --> 00:34:52,210
that would be slashed in this budget proposal.

897
00:34:52,530 --> 00:34:54,090
Earlier this week, in comments at the White

898
00:34:54,090 --> 00:34:56,310
House, the president raising some eyebrows when he

899
00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:57,550
told the crowd that the budget should be

900
00:34:57,550 --> 00:34:59,430
focused on the military as we fight wars,

901
00:34:59,630 --> 00:35:02,350
and that things like daycare, Medicare, and Medicaid

902
00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:05,110
should not be funded on a federal level,

903
00:35:05,390 --> 00:35:07,070
but by individual states.

904
00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:12,010
So with everything going on, we're all being

905
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:15,850
inundated with the Artemis, we're going to the

906
00:35:15,850 --> 00:35:18,370
moon, we're going around the moon, we're doing

907
00:35:18,370 --> 00:35:21,790
the moon thing, to the moon, but it's

908
00:35:21,790 --> 00:35:23,510
not really about the moon.

909
00:35:25,970 --> 00:35:27,810
Three clips, and this will lead you into

910
00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:29,530
your clips that I saw you already have.

911
00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:32,270
Which clips are those?

912
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:33,450
The alien stuff.

913
00:35:33,450 --> 00:35:34,650
Oh yeah.

914
00:35:34,990 --> 00:35:38,010
The alien stuff, you took me down a

915
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:39,490
very dark road with this.

916
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:40,130
Oh good.

917
00:35:42,430 --> 00:35:45,050
So here's where I think a lot of

918
00:35:45,050 --> 00:35:47,850
this extra money, because we're already at $1

919
00:35:47,850 --> 00:35:51,490
.1 trillion, so we're talking $400 billion, so

920
00:35:51,490 --> 00:35:54,710
that would be a couple hundred billion overruns.

921
00:35:54,790 --> 00:35:57,510
Jared Isaacman and NASA officially announced their timeline

922
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:59,770
and plan for our own base on the

923
00:35:59,770 --> 00:36:00,010
moon.

924
00:36:00,410 --> 00:36:03,010
The $20 billion project will replace the plan

925
00:36:03,010 --> 00:36:05,290
to deploy a space station in lunar orbit,

926
00:36:05,370 --> 00:36:07,330
which was known as Lunar Gateway.

927
00:36:07,850 --> 00:36:09,850
However, NASA still plans to use the Lunar

928
00:36:09,850 --> 00:36:11,590
Gateway station, a lot of which was already

929
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:12,910
built with the help of contractors.

930
00:36:13,170 --> 00:36:15,590
But repurposing may not be simple.

931
00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:17,610
So why the rush now for this base,

932
00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:19,230
and why the change of plans?

933
00:36:19,690 --> 00:36:21,370
Let's get some answers with the Director of

934
00:36:21,370 --> 00:36:24,430
Government Relations at the Planetary Society, Jack Carelli.

935
00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:27,030
I don't know what this Planetary Society is.

936
00:36:27,090 --> 00:36:30,490
Is that like Bill Nye the Science Guy?

937
00:36:30,630 --> 00:36:31,430
Does he work there?

938
00:36:31,930 --> 00:36:33,190
I have no clue.

939
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:35,050
I don't know why they're being brought in.

940
00:36:35,110 --> 00:36:36,870
Let's talk about the literal nuts and bolts

941
00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:38,830
of this, because the Lunar Gateway station was

942
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:42,030
already built in orbit, but the game plan

943
00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:44,570
now is to do something that's permanently stationed

944
00:36:44,570 --> 00:36:45,890
on the moon's surface.

945
00:36:46,690 --> 00:36:49,270
First off, where's all the money for that

946
00:36:49,270 --> 00:36:49,710
going to come from?

947
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:50,850
Because that sounds expensive to me.

948
00:36:50,970 --> 00:36:53,450
And then secondly, how possible is that, and

949
00:36:53,450 --> 00:36:55,030
how much more technically difficult is that?

950
00:36:55,790 --> 00:36:57,770
Yeah, I mean, just to address the money

951
00:36:57,770 --> 00:37:00,230
question up front, it's the folks behind me

952
00:37:00,230 --> 00:37:02,790
that write the appropriations laws in this country,

953
00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:06,770
and so it's going to require Administrator Isaacman

954
00:37:06,770 --> 00:37:09,050
and the folks at NASA to sell this

955
00:37:09,050 --> 00:37:12,210
to the Appropriations Committee on the Hill, and

956
00:37:12,210 --> 00:37:14,770
sell them on the idea of advancing the

957
00:37:14,770 --> 00:37:16,450
Artemis program in this direction.

958
00:37:17,050 --> 00:37:19,450
And you mentioned the Lunar Gateway program, which

959
00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:21,230
had been a large part of the Artemis

960
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:23,990
architecture, has a lot of the international collaboration

961
00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:25,870
components of the program.

962
00:37:26,530 --> 00:37:28,950
It's going to require working with those allies

963
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:30,530
as well to make sure that there's buy

964
00:37:30,530 --> 00:37:32,950
-in to provide the necessary assets on the

965
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:35,650
lunar surface to keep our astronauts alive and

966
00:37:35,650 --> 00:37:37,930
doing science from the moon this time.

967
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:40,890
Now, you have to have read President Trump's

968
00:37:40,890 --> 00:37:44,950
Space Force policy, which sets a 2028 deadline

969
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:46,910
for the moon base that they're talking about

970
00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:49,290
here, the Lunar Gateway, which is all part

971
00:37:49,290 --> 00:37:51,850
of the Golden Dome, which brings it back

972
00:37:51,850 --> 00:37:54,750
to the Pentagon, which we will not audit

973
00:37:54,750 --> 00:37:56,310
under any circumstances.

974
00:37:57,050 --> 00:37:59,830
And it's a bonanza, and it's a marketing

975
00:37:59,830 --> 00:38:01,690
ploy that's taking place right now.

976
00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:05,870
Here's the CEO of Firefly, who also wants

977
00:38:05,870 --> 00:38:08,410
some of that Golden Dome dollars.

978
00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:10,570
So if you think about it, we have

979
00:38:10,570 --> 00:38:13,810
the capability, the entire space ecosystem, to launch

980
00:38:13,810 --> 00:38:16,470
our satellites, build and operate our satellites on

981
00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:19,510
orbit, and now process that data using the

982
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:21,630
SciTech AI algorithms on orbit.

983
00:38:22,110 --> 00:38:25,590
That's huge because there's a lot of emphasis

984
00:38:25,590 --> 00:38:28,630
on space-based orbital data centers.

985
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:33,130
There's a lot of emphasis and reignited focus

986
00:38:33,130 --> 00:38:36,290
on the moon, and there's also a lot

987
00:38:36,290 --> 00:38:39,270
of upside opportunity with things like Golden Dome.

988
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:43,470
So we have all the entire ecosystem to

989
00:38:43,470 --> 00:38:45,690
make those programs into reality.

990
00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:47,130
This is what it is.

991
00:38:47,130 --> 00:38:50,810
This whole exercise, this space launch, is all

992
00:38:50,810 --> 00:38:52,850
to get people all lathered up and all

993
00:38:52,850 --> 00:38:56,470
excited about the expenditure for space, but it's

994
00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:57,650
really the Golden Dome.

995
00:38:57,890 --> 00:38:59,950
President Trump on Tuesday unveiled plans for a

996
00:38:59,950 --> 00:39:01,230
so-called Golden Dome.

997
00:39:01,370 --> 00:39:03,290
It's his twist on the Iron Dome, the

998
00:39:03,290 --> 00:39:05,830
informal name for Israel's missile defense system.

999
00:39:06,350 --> 00:39:08,590
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth characterized it as an

1000
00:39:08,590 --> 00:39:11,670
important step for the U.S. This right

1001
00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:13,510
here, the Golden Dome for America, is game

1002
00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:13,810
-changer.

1003
00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:17,510
It's a generational investment in the security of

1004
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:18,810
America and Americans.

1005
00:39:19,230 --> 00:39:21,610
President Reagan 40 years ago cast the vision

1006
00:39:21,610 --> 00:39:21,990
for it.

1007
00:39:22,010 --> 00:39:23,210
The technology wasn't there.

1008
00:39:23,590 --> 00:39:25,410
Now it is, and you're following through to

1009
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:26,850
say we will protect the homeland.

1010
00:39:27,930 --> 00:39:30,590
CBS News Pentagon reporter Eleanor Watson joins us

1011
00:39:30,590 --> 00:39:30,810
now.

1012
00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:32,270
Ellie, what did President Trump say about what

1013
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:33,610
this would cost and how long it would

1014
00:39:33,610 --> 00:39:33,810
take?

1015
00:39:35,110 --> 00:39:37,190
President Trump in the Oval Office today said

1016
00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:39,510
that the total cost for this project would

1017
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:42,550
be about $175 billion, and it could take

1018
00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:44,310
just three years to complete.

1019
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:46,250
Now that's on the low end of the

1020
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:49,810
estimates that experts have been offering on what

1021
00:39:49,810 --> 00:39:51,750
such a system may take.

1022
00:39:52,110 --> 00:39:55,650
The caveats here are that the $175 billion,

1023
00:39:56,330 --> 00:40:00,250
including $25 billion that is just a down

1024
00:40:00,250 --> 00:40:02,090
payment to get the system started, which is

1025
00:40:02,090 --> 00:40:04,550
included in the reconciliation bill that has not

1026
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:07,130
yet passed, none of that funding has been

1027
00:40:07,130 --> 00:40:08,890
provided by Congress yet.

1028
00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:11,630
President Trump is optimistic that Congress is supportive

1029
00:40:11,630 --> 00:40:13,310
of the plan, and he'll get that funding.

1030
00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:15,850
And then the other caveat is that the

1031
00:40:15,850 --> 00:40:19,990
program, the Defense Department still has to choose

1032
00:40:19,990 --> 00:40:22,970
many of the contractors to build up this

1033
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:23,290
program.

1034
00:40:23,410 --> 00:40:25,330
Now the first step was taken today in

1035
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:28,730
the Oval Office where President Trump named Space

1036
00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:33,850
Force General Michael Gutthein as the program manager

1037
00:40:33,850 --> 00:40:34,310
for this.

1038
00:40:34,490 --> 00:40:38,250
So he will see this building start, and

1039
00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:41,090
when it ends, if it ends in three

1040
00:40:41,090 --> 00:40:43,710
years, that will be quite a success story

1041
00:40:43,710 --> 00:40:46,030
since this is such an expansive program that's

1042
00:40:46,030 --> 00:40:49,070
going to integrate missile defense from the seabed

1043
00:40:49,070 --> 00:40:50,730
all the way to space.

1044
00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:53,450
So we always have- All the way

1045
00:40:53,450 --> 00:40:54,230
to the moon?

1046
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:55,130
Are you kidding me?

1047
00:40:55,290 --> 00:40:55,490
No.

1048
00:40:55,970 --> 00:40:57,570
This- The dome doesn't need to be

1049
00:40:57,570 --> 00:40:57,990
up there?

1050
00:40:58,150 --> 00:41:01,050
This whole thing is about money.

1051
00:41:01,550 --> 00:41:04,770
And we always see alien stories before the

1052
00:41:04,770 --> 00:41:06,190
entertainment comes out.

1053
00:41:06,570 --> 00:41:10,410
Bob Lazar, who is the man, his documentary

1054
00:41:10,410 --> 00:41:13,650
came out this week, Spielberg's Disclosure Day, June

1055
00:41:13,650 --> 00:41:14,530
12th.

1056
00:41:14,530 --> 00:41:17,590
Apple has a UAP film.

1057
00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:19,330
The X-Files is rebooting.

1058
00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:22,790
And when you said that about Spielberg, I'm

1059
00:41:22,790 --> 00:41:25,570
like, yeah, we know that the Pentagon funds

1060
00:41:25,570 --> 00:41:26,730
all kinds of games.

1061
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:29,390
They also gave him a Medal for Distinguished

1062
00:41:29,390 --> 00:41:31,410
Public Service for some of his movies.

1063
00:41:32,650 --> 00:41:38,010
The Military.com, that's their news outlet, is

1064
00:41:38,010 --> 00:41:40,530
running features on all of the UFO movies.

1065
00:41:41,350 --> 00:41:42,590
This is marketing.

1066
00:41:43,210 --> 00:41:46,110
It's marketing for a half a trillion dollar,

1067
00:41:46,410 --> 00:41:49,030
one year, half a trillion dollar bonanza budget.

1068
00:41:49,290 --> 00:41:50,490
Everybody's jumping in.

1069
00:41:51,150 --> 00:41:52,530
Yeah, I totally agree.

1070
00:41:52,630 --> 00:41:53,910
It's definitely marketing tricks.

1071
00:41:54,030 --> 00:41:55,470
So let's listen to some of these clips.

1072
00:41:56,110 --> 00:41:58,330
Now, the clip I played last show was

1073
00:41:59,530 --> 00:42:00,710
Matt Gaetz.

1074
00:42:01,370 --> 00:42:03,730
And he was kind of getting things going.

1075
00:42:03,730 --> 00:42:05,850
But he wasn't doing a very good job

1076
00:42:05,850 --> 00:42:06,990
of it and got condemned.

1077
00:42:07,490 --> 00:42:10,510
So let's bring on an actual working congressman.

1078
00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:11,490
Oh yeah, this is great.

1079
00:42:12,510 --> 00:42:14,610
Let's drop him on the Benny show.

1080
00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:15,710
Benny's got his...

1081
00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:16,290
I looked him up.

1082
00:42:16,530 --> 00:42:19,030
He actually seems to be very sincere.

1083
00:42:19,990 --> 00:42:21,330
Oh, he's totally sincere.

1084
00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:25,070
I thought he might be funded by military

1085
00:42:25,070 --> 00:42:25,530
contractors.

1086
00:42:26,050 --> 00:42:27,970
Very little amount, turns out.

1087
00:42:28,310 --> 00:42:29,830
So they just got a good guy.

1088
00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:31,450
A guy who's all in on this.

1089
00:42:31,450 --> 00:42:36,910
And so Tim Birchett, congressman from Tennessee.

1090
00:42:37,870 --> 00:42:39,150
Yeah, Tennessee.

1091
00:42:39,870 --> 00:42:42,830
He comes on the Benny, who's the front

1092
00:42:42,830 --> 00:42:44,050
man for a lot of this stuff.

1093
00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:46,430
What, Benny Johnson?

1094
00:42:46,670 --> 00:42:47,630
Benny Johnson, yeah.

1095
00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:49,450
Oh, Benny Johnson's the front man.

1096
00:42:49,570 --> 00:42:49,910
Interesting.

1097
00:42:50,590 --> 00:42:52,090
Well, he has to be, because first he

1098
00:42:52,090 --> 00:42:53,910
had Matt Gaetz, then he gets this guy.

1099
00:42:54,270 --> 00:42:55,350
He's been doing this.

1100
00:42:55,350 --> 00:42:57,370
He's been pushing this more than anybody.

1101
00:42:57,630 --> 00:42:58,330
So here we go.

1102
00:42:58,510 --> 00:42:59,870
I don't have the tinfoil hat on just

1103
00:42:59,870 --> 00:43:03,030
yet, congressman, but I'm wondering, you know, kind

1104
00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:04,530
of how you react to that, because you

1105
00:43:04,530 --> 00:43:05,170
are connected.

1106
00:43:05,310 --> 00:43:07,510
You're on the UFO subcommittee.

1107
00:43:07,790 --> 00:43:08,970
I mean, I'm just wondering what you make

1108
00:43:08,970 --> 00:43:09,270
of that.

1109
00:43:09,350 --> 00:43:10,410
Have you heard anything like that?

1110
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:12,450
Well, I'm still a member of Congress, so

1111
00:43:12,450 --> 00:43:14,750
I can't really comment too much on what

1112
00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:15,430
Matt said.

1113
00:43:16,130 --> 00:43:17,830
But I will say this.

1114
00:43:17,970 --> 00:43:18,510
Wait, seriously?

1115
00:43:18,650 --> 00:43:20,370
Are you being serious, or is that tongue

1116
00:43:20,370 --> 00:43:20,570
-in-cheek?

1117
00:43:20,570 --> 00:43:21,450
I'm being 100% serious.

1118
00:43:22,010 --> 00:43:23,430
I'm being 100% serious.

1119
00:43:23,590 --> 00:43:25,970
I've been briefed by just about every alphabet

1120
00:43:25,970 --> 00:43:27,370
agency there is.

1121
00:43:27,370 --> 00:43:29,670
And I'll just tell you this.

1122
00:43:29,770 --> 00:43:31,950
If they would release the things that I've

1123
00:43:31,950 --> 00:43:35,470
seen, you would stay up at night worrying

1124
00:43:35,470 --> 00:43:37,430
about or thinking about this stuff.

1125
00:43:37,650 --> 00:43:39,590
We just need to disclose it all.

1126
00:43:39,970 --> 00:43:40,850
I'm sick of it.

1127
00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:43,190
Well, I was briefed.

1128
00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:43,950
I'll just tell you this.

1129
00:43:43,970 --> 00:43:46,330
I was briefed last week on an issue,

1130
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:50,190
or excuse me, two weeks ago, and it

1131
00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:51,650
would have set the earth on...

1132
00:43:51,650 --> 00:43:55,170
This country would have come unglued, I think,

1133
00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:56,830
if they would have heard all that I

1134
00:43:56,830 --> 00:43:57,110
heard.

1135
00:43:57,390 --> 00:43:59,190
They would demand answers.

1136
00:43:59,670 --> 00:44:00,750
And we need to.

1137
00:44:02,990 --> 00:44:06,050
Unfortunately, it just keeps getting covered up and

1138
00:44:06,050 --> 00:44:07,670
covered up, and the people that know are

1139
00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:10,350
dying or disappearing, as the case may be.

1140
00:44:11,230 --> 00:44:13,270
And for the record, I'm not suicidal.

1141
00:44:13,850 --> 00:44:14,970
And I don't take risks.

1142
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:16,990
I'm glad you said that.

1143
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:18,930
I'm speechless, Congressman.

1144
00:44:19,390 --> 00:44:21,010
You should be.

1145
00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:23,370
I told the President, release it all.

1146
00:44:23,370 --> 00:44:25,330
And the problem is, the people that are

1147
00:44:25,330 --> 00:44:27,390
around the President don't know...

1148
00:44:27,390 --> 00:44:29,370
And the President doesn't know the questions to

1149
00:44:29,370 --> 00:44:29,710
ask.

1150
00:44:30,410 --> 00:44:31,430
A few of us are going to have

1151
00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:33,290
to get with the President and tell him

1152
00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:34,870
what he needs to ask and where he

1153
00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:35,490
needs to look.

1154
00:44:35,590 --> 00:44:37,430
I mean, you know, we're in meetings and

1155
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:41,270
they give addresses and tell locations of items,

1156
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:42,170
I'll just say.

1157
00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:45,250
And the public has a right to know,

1158
00:44:45,410 --> 00:44:45,730
dadgummit.

1159
00:44:45,770 --> 00:44:47,010
It's your tax dollars.

1160
00:44:47,570 --> 00:44:48,670
Let's leave it out there.

1161
00:44:48,730 --> 00:44:50,110
You got my attention, Congressman.

1162
00:44:50,110 --> 00:44:54,250
I appreciate you being as forthcoming as you

1163
00:44:54,250 --> 00:44:55,410
have been tonight.

1164
00:44:55,570 --> 00:44:57,090
And we look forward to having you back.

1165
00:44:57,190 --> 00:44:58,750
Look, I know Donald Trump wants to disclose

1166
00:44:58,750 --> 00:44:59,190
something.

1167
00:44:59,330 --> 00:45:00,410
He hasn't done it yet, but I think

1168
00:45:00,410 --> 00:45:00,590
he will.

1169
00:45:01,830 --> 00:45:07,510
You know, when you say stuff like, I'm

1170
00:45:07,510 --> 00:45:10,550
not suicidal, people are disappearing left and right,

1171
00:45:12,090 --> 00:45:15,330
hey, maybe, maybe, because I don't believe this

1172
00:45:15,330 --> 00:45:15,630
at all.

1173
00:45:16,430 --> 00:45:18,350
As much as I want to believe in

1174
00:45:18,350 --> 00:45:21,290
UFOs and aliens, I have not been convinced

1175
00:45:21,290 --> 00:45:24,650
in 18 years of this show, tried to

1176
00:45:24,650 --> 00:45:27,890
meet an alien, everything, disappointment after disappointment.

1177
00:45:28,850 --> 00:45:30,570
You've been there with me on this journey.

1178
00:45:31,330 --> 00:45:31,710
Oh yeah.

1179
00:45:33,250 --> 00:45:34,470
That's why I had to take it over.

1180
00:45:34,690 --> 00:45:36,910
What if there's a couple of guys inside

1181
00:45:36,910 --> 00:45:40,150
the Pentagon who are like, you know, you're

1182
00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:41,690
hoodwinking the American people.

1183
00:45:43,690 --> 00:45:45,070
You got everyone.

1184
00:45:45,210 --> 00:45:46,730
You got Benny Johnson out there.

1185
00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:49,310
You got Congress people who were promoting this.

1186
00:45:49,390 --> 00:45:51,510
They're saying all kinds of crazy stuff.

1187
00:45:51,730 --> 00:45:56,210
And no, no, no, no, no, no.

1188
00:45:56,210 --> 00:45:58,290
Follow up on the breaking news, a defense

1189
00:45:58,290 --> 00:46:00,750
official telling our White House correspondent Libby Dean

1190
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:02,870
that the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has

1191
00:46:02,870 --> 00:46:04,770
asked the Chief of Staff of the Army

1192
00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:07,890
to immediately step down, retire immediately.

1193
00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:10,350
This is General Randy George, served in that

1194
00:46:10,350 --> 00:46:11,390
role since 2023.

1195
00:46:11,410 --> 00:46:14,670
And that official says that Secretary Hegseth lost

1196
00:46:14,670 --> 00:46:16,970
trust and confidence in General George and believes

1197
00:46:16,970 --> 00:46:19,010
it's time for a change in leadership.

1198
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:21,670
Current Vice Chief of Staff expected to be

1199
00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:23,090
nominated for that role.

1200
00:46:23,450 --> 00:46:25,410
It does require Senate confirmation.

1201
00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:27,010
Again, just in from Libby Dean.

1202
00:46:27,470 --> 00:46:28,930
More as we learn it in a day

1203
00:46:28,930 --> 00:46:29,510
of shakeups.

1204
00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:30,850
How about that?

1205
00:46:31,070 --> 00:46:33,050
So maybe that's what this is about.

1206
00:46:33,110 --> 00:46:34,870
We got to get people out of there

1207
00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:36,490
who don't want to go along with the

1208
00:46:36,490 --> 00:46:36,970
program.

1209
00:46:37,450 --> 00:46:39,050
I think they fired that guy because he's

1210
00:46:39,050 --> 00:46:43,010
part of the group that misadvised Trump on

1211
00:46:43,010 --> 00:46:43,590
Iran.

1212
00:46:43,590 --> 00:46:44,910
The whole Iran thing?

1213
00:46:45,250 --> 00:46:46,170
Yeah, I think so.

1214
00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:47,530
I like my theory better.

1215
00:46:48,110 --> 00:46:49,790
Your theory is more in line with what

1216
00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:50,910
we're playing for clips.

1217
00:46:51,110 --> 00:46:52,090
Yeah, yeah.

1218
00:46:52,210 --> 00:46:55,630
Well, they had some hearings.

1219
00:46:57,290 --> 00:46:58,310
Recent hearings?

1220
00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:59,430
More hearings recently?

1221
00:46:59,570 --> 00:47:01,590
Yeah, I think these are pretty recent.

1222
00:47:02,010 --> 00:47:04,930
This is this guy Knapp and he's talking

1223
00:47:04,930 --> 00:47:08,470
to Congress and I got three clips from

1224
00:47:08,470 --> 00:47:09,870
him that are kind of entertaining.

1225
00:47:09,870 --> 00:47:10,510
Okay.

1226
00:47:12,210 --> 00:47:13,110
Start with one.

1227
00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:13,710
Here we go.

1228
00:47:13,950 --> 00:47:16,830
I'm George Knapp, Chief Investigator Reporter at KLAS

1229
00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:17,810
-TV in Las Vegas.

1230
00:47:18,130 --> 00:47:20,430
I began my pursuit of this weird mystery

1231
00:47:20,430 --> 00:47:23,470
way back in 1987 and for 38 years

1232
00:47:23,470 --> 00:47:25,810
I've always approached this as a news story.

1233
00:47:26,050 --> 00:47:27,990
It's not a matter of faith or belief

1234
00:47:27,990 --> 00:47:28,450
to me.

1235
00:47:28,590 --> 00:47:30,250
It's a story and it's an important one.

1236
00:47:30,570 --> 00:47:33,110
The public has been told over and over

1237
00:47:33,110 --> 00:47:35,150
since the late 40s there's nothing to worry

1238
00:47:35,150 --> 00:47:35,650
about here.

1239
00:47:36,110 --> 00:47:39,410
These mysterious craft seen by millions of people

1240
00:47:39,410 --> 00:47:41,350
in the skies, in the oceans, over the

1241
00:47:41,350 --> 00:47:42,810
land are not real.

1242
00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:43,810
They're not a threat.

1243
00:47:43,970 --> 00:47:45,030
The witnesses are wrong.

1244
00:47:45,210 --> 00:47:46,010
They're crackpots.

1245
00:47:46,210 --> 00:47:47,090
Don't believe it.

1246
00:47:47,270 --> 00:47:48,290
That changed for me.

1247
00:47:48,390 --> 00:47:50,110
What got me hooked is the paper trail.

1248
00:47:50,490 --> 00:47:52,330
Documents that were squeezed out of the U

1249
00:47:52,330 --> 00:47:55,330
.S. government after the FOIA, Freedom of Information

1250
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:57,430
Act became the law of the land.

1251
00:47:57,890 --> 00:48:00,030
And those documents paint a much different picture

1252
00:48:00,030 --> 00:48:01,970
than what the public, the press, and Congress

1253
00:48:01,970 --> 00:48:03,690
have been told over many years.

1254
00:48:03,790 --> 00:48:06,970
The documents from military and intelligence personnel behind

1255
00:48:06,970 --> 00:48:09,450
closed doors admit that, quote, these things are

1256
00:48:09,450 --> 00:48:09,710
real.

1257
00:48:09,890 --> 00:48:10,670
They're not fictitious.

1258
00:48:11,130 --> 00:48:13,530
They can fly in formation, they're evasive, and

1259
00:48:13,530 --> 00:48:16,610
they outperform any aircraft known to exist, including

1260
00:48:16,610 --> 00:48:17,030
ours.

1261
00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:18,050
Don't look over here!

1262
00:48:18,190 --> 00:48:20,110
Nothing to see here!

1263
00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:20,930
Ooh, look at that!

1264
00:48:21,010 --> 00:48:21,390
Yeah!

1265
00:48:21,810 --> 00:48:22,590
Oh, nothing.

1266
00:48:24,010 --> 00:48:27,250
I want to remind everybody my problem, you

1267
00:48:27,250 --> 00:48:29,830
have problems with all these clips, and I

1268
00:48:29,830 --> 00:48:32,070
have problems with all these clips, whether they're,

1269
00:48:32,070 --> 00:48:35,250
you know, just promoting a movie or whatever.

1270
00:48:35,710 --> 00:48:40,290
Because Philip Corso's book, The Day After Roswell,

1271
00:48:40,350 --> 00:48:43,530
has yet to be mentioned in any context

1272
00:48:43,530 --> 00:48:48,190
by any interviewer, interviewee, or anybody in between.

1273
00:48:48,970 --> 00:48:51,710
And what exactly is in Corso's book?

1274
00:48:52,390 --> 00:48:53,150
The goods!

1275
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:54,330
It's real!

1276
00:48:55,830 --> 00:48:57,270
He's got all the details.

1277
00:48:57,390 --> 00:48:59,350
He never had an NDA, he never had

1278
00:48:59,350 --> 00:49:00,030
to sign off.

1279
00:49:00,310 --> 00:49:01,830
He was there early in the game.

1280
00:49:01,830 --> 00:49:04,570
And he wrote a book describing everything, which

1281
00:49:04,570 --> 00:49:06,030
he regretted, by the way, as he got

1282
00:49:06,030 --> 00:49:09,190
older, because of the hassle, but...

1283
00:49:09,630 --> 00:49:11,490
This book has never been refuted.

1284
00:49:12,810 --> 00:49:13,250
No.

1285
00:49:14,190 --> 00:49:15,890
It's never been debunked.

1286
00:49:16,110 --> 00:49:16,270
No.

1287
00:49:17,770 --> 00:49:18,930
Let's go to clip two.

1288
00:49:19,090 --> 00:49:20,690
Do you think that any of this is

1289
00:49:20,690 --> 00:49:22,250
a psyop by the U.S. government?

1290
00:49:22,730 --> 00:49:22,830
Psyop?

1291
00:49:22,850 --> 00:49:23,690
Entirely possible.

1292
00:49:24,010 --> 00:49:26,690
Our government and other governments have admitted that

1293
00:49:26,690 --> 00:49:29,090
they've tried to use UFOs to cover secret

1294
00:49:29,090 --> 00:49:31,450
projects, but I think they also do some

1295
00:49:31,450 --> 00:49:33,050
reverse engineering of those claims.

1296
00:49:33,310 --> 00:49:37,030
So, years after people start seeing UFOs over

1297
00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:39,390
Area 51, for example, they come up with

1298
00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:41,150
a story, oh yeah, that was...

1299
00:49:41,150 --> 00:49:42,690
We planted that story.

1300
00:49:43,070 --> 00:49:45,490
I read in a major newspaper just a

1301
00:49:45,490 --> 00:49:47,750
couple of weeks ago, they planted this story

1302
00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:49,430
and an Air Force colonel went out into

1303
00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:52,030
the desert, went to a bar at Rachel,

1304
00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:54,710
and gave them some fake UFO photos, and

1305
00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:56,570
that's how the whole story about Area 51

1306
00:49:56,570 --> 00:49:58,510
started, which is preposterous.

1307
00:49:58,770 --> 00:49:59,610
Because it's real.

1308
00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:02,670
That was Nancy Mace.

1309
00:50:03,610 --> 00:50:03,870
Yes.

1310
00:50:04,870 --> 00:50:06,810
And now we go to the third clip

1311
00:50:06,810 --> 00:50:09,270
of this series, and I don't know when

1312
00:50:09,270 --> 00:50:12,810
this hearing was held, but it was Congress

1313
00:50:14,050 --> 00:50:17,810
and House on space aliens.

1314
00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:18,330
Here we go.

1315
00:50:18,510 --> 00:50:20,350
I think there's probably multiple reasons at the

1316
00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:20,630
start.

1317
00:50:20,670 --> 00:50:23,130
When these things first started invading our skies

1318
00:50:23,130 --> 00:50:24,770
in large numbers, we were scared.

1319
00:50:24,770 --> 00:50:26,550
It was right after World War II, and

1320
00:50:26,550 --> 00:50:28,370
we didn't know what they were, and they

1321
00:50:28,370 --> 00:50:29,810
didn't want to panic the public, and that

1322
00:50:29,810 --> 00:50:30,970
was probably a good call.

1323
00:50:31,230 --> 00:50:34,530
Over time, I think the lying sort of

1324
00:50:34,530 --> 00:50:36,150
became institutionalized, you know?

1325
00:50:36,530 --> 00:50:40,150
Flights over Washington D.C. in 1952, they're

1326
00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:42,750
seen, they're captured on radar, jets are chased

1327
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:44,670
after these objects, and then we get an

1328
00:50:44,670 --> 00:50:46,870
explanation, it was a temperature inversion.

1329
00:50:47,290 --> 00:50:49,150
And those kind of lies have been told

1330
00:50:49,150 --> 00:50:49,890
for a long time.

1331
00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:52,170
What was told to me by an investigator

1332
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:54,230
from Congress, a guy named Richard D'Amato,

1333
00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:57,230
who was sent after this story by Robert

1334
00:50:57,230 --> 00:50:59,430
Byrd and Harry Reid, he came out to

1335
00:50:59,430 --> 00:51:01,650
Nevada, tried to get into Area 51, did

1336
00:51:01,650 --> 00:51:03,410
get in there, looked around, talked to people,

1337
00:51:03,790 --> 00:51:04,950
trying to get to the bottom of it.

1338
00:51:04,990 --> 00:51:08,270
He believed that this program, reverse engineering, etc.,

1339
00:51:08,270 --> 00:51:10,990
was inside, had been moved inside these corporations,

1340
00:51:11,570 --> 00:51:13,590
and he said, when this comes out, people

1341
00:51:13,590 --> 00:51:14,490
are going to go to prison.

1342
00:51:14,650 --> 00:51:17,110
And he meant people who were basically misusing

1343
00:51:17,110 --> 00:51:19,730
legitimate national security funds, tens of billions of

1344
00:51:19,730 --> 00:51:21,610
dollars in order to keep this cover-up

1345
00:51:21,610 --> 00:51:21,870
going.

1346
00:51:22,090 --> 00:51:24,190
I also believe there's a legitimate reason for

1347
00:51:24,190 --> 00:51:26,770
the cover-up, in that there is undeniable

1348
00:51:26,770 --> 00:51:29,590
connection of national security involved in this technology.

1349
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:31,870
If we are racing for it to master

1350
00:51:31,870 --> 00:51:34,650
that technology against the Russians and the Chinese,

1351
00:51:34,810 --> 00:51:36,270
which is what I have been told by

1352
00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:38,770
Senator Reid and many others, then it is

1353
00:51:38,770 --> 00:51:41,470
a race that's critical to our survival.

1354
00:51:41,830 --> 00:51:43,810
There could be a form of disclosure, I

1355
00:51:43,810 --> 00:51:44,030
think.

1356
00:51:44,290 --> 00:51:47,130
Yes, it's real, it's from somewhere else, without

1357
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:49,270
revealing all the details that would allow someone

1358
00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:50,990
else to have an advantage in the race

1359
00:51:50,990 --> 00:51:51,850
for this technology.

1360
00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:55,090
I gotta be skeptical.

1361
00:51:56,290 --> 00:51:56,850
What?

1362
00:51:57,050 --> 00:51:59,570
I just gotta be skeptical of all this.

1363
00:52:00,350 --> 00:52:03,490
And you're familiar with this Greer character?

1364
00:52:04,790 --> 00:52:05,910
Yeah, yes.

1365
00:52:06,090 --> 00:52:07,650
He's in entertainment now.

1366
00:52:07,870 --> 00:52:11,070
He creates entertainment products, the Greer character.

1367
00:52:11,590 --> 00:52:12,610
Yeah, well, here he is.

1368
00:52:12,870 --> 00:52:13,550
Hold on a second.

1369
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:15,650
Greer.

1370
00:52:16,010 --> 00:52:16,970
Where's the Greer?

1371
00:52:16,970 --> 00:52:18,150
The last clip.

1372
00:52:19,490 --> 00:52:20,670
Oh, I see.

1373
00:52:21,890 --> 00:52:24,250
I would like to offer you the unredacted

1374
00:52:24,250 --> 00:52:26,110
version of it that's very sensitive for you

1375
00:52:26,110 --> 00:52:28,810
to convey over to your friend, Mr. Vance.

1376
00:52:29,490 --> 00:52:31,210
But I think that, because he needs to

1377
00:52:31,210 --> 00:52:33,290
get read in on this properly before speaking

1378
00:52:33,290 --> 00:52:34,390
about it too much.

1379
00:52:35,110 --> 00:52:37,230
It's a very serious issue, and I will

1380
00:52:37,230 --> 00:52:40,690
tell you, if this is disclosed improperly, it'll

1381
00:52:40,690 --> 00:52:42,150
be a thousand times worse than COVID.

1382
00:52:43,090 --> 00:52:45,190
And I think that when you're talking about

1383
00:52:45,190 --> 00:52:47,130
the fact that we are being visited by

1384
00:52:47,130 --> 00:52:50,110
advanced civilizations, they are not hostile.

1385
00:52:50,370 --> 00:52:51,790
If they were hostile, we'd be gone.

1386
00:52:52,650 --> 00:52:55,190
But we have approached them very hostilely.

1387
00:52:55,310 --> 00:52:58,510
We have literally downed at least a thousand

1388
00:52:58,510 --> 00:53:03,030
or more of their spacecraft using illegal electromagnetic

1389
00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:03,930
pulse weapons.

1390
00:53:04,050 --> 00:53:05,710
I know where they're being used and how

1391
00:53:05,710 --> 00:53:06,410
they're being used.

1392
00:53:06,710 --> 00:53:10,290
And we have captured those bodies, some living,

1393
00:53:10,570 --> 00:53:11,150
some dead.

1394
00:53:11,870 --> 00:53:14,630
And Mr. Gates was correct in saying that

1395
00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:16,990
there are some gruesome programs being run by

1396
00:53:16,990 --> 00:53:20,150
military where they've been trying to combine DNA

1397
00:53:20,150 --> 00:53:23,110
of these creatures with humans, and they come

1398
00:53:23,110 --> 00:53:26,390
out with these monstrous looking things that are

1399
00:53:26,390 --> 00:53:28,070
used to abduct people.

1400
00:53:28,630 --> 00:53:30,310
So everyone's hearing alien abductions.

1401
00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:32,170
It's not the extraterrestrials doing it.

1402
00:53:32,210 --> 00:53:33,790
It's a covert human program.

1403
00:53:34,370 --> 00:53:35,790
And we know this, and we can prove

1404
00:53:35,790 --> 00:53:36,030
it.

1405
00:53:36,330 --> 00:53:38,530
So this is a huge story.

1406
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:40,390
It's the biggest scandal in the history of

1407
00:53:40,390 --> 00:53:42,470
the United States in its founding.

1408
00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:45,510
I think for our 250th anniversary, we should

1409
00:53:45,510 --> 00:53:49,050
be liberated from the secrecy and these extraordinary

1410
00:53:49,050 --> 00:53:52,370
technologies that could benefit all of humanity need

1411
00:53:52,370 --> 00:53:53,910
to begin to be looked at to be

1412
00:53:53,910 --> 00:53:54,550
brought out.

1413
00:53:54,890 --> 00:53:56,990
So that's what we're doing with the Disclosure

1414
00:53:56,990 --> 00:53:57,430
Project.

1415
00:53:57,730 --> 00:54:00,470
So this is perfect, because this is pretty

1416
00:54:00,470 --> 00:54:02,290
much from what I can tell, the script

1417
00:54:02,290 --> 00:54:05,830
of Spielberg's Disclosure Day movie.

1418
00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:09,530
Where they meld people with the alien DNA.

1419
00:54:10,590 --> 00:54:11,950
It's like a setup.

1420
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:14,450
This is the guy who gets medals from

1421
00:54:14,450 --> 00:54:14,990
the Pentagon.

1422
00:54:15,830 --> 00:54:16,570
Come on.

1423
00:54:18,610 --> 00:54:20,450
It's a massive promotion.

1424
00:54:21,330 --> 00:54:22,490
Here's the trailer.

1425
00:54:24,570 --> 00:54:25,970
So here she is.

1426
00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:27,730
They've morphed her DNA.

1427
00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:30,230
She starts to crackle.

1428
00:54:33,690 --> 00:54:36,110
Oh no, what's happening to her?

1429
00:54:36,110 --> 00:54:38,250
Bob, what's happening to Alice?

1430
00:54:38,350 --> 00:54:39,450
Do you understand what she's saying?

1431
00:54:39,850 --> 00:54:40,730
I hear her.

1432
00:54:40,870 --> 00:54:41,890
It's gibberish.

1433
00:54:42,070 --> 00:54:42,670
I can't understand it.

1434
00:54:44,190 --> 00:54:45,770
And I can't.

1435
00:54:49,930 --> 00:54:51,150
What's happening to me?

1436
00:54:51,590 --> 00:54:53,430
People are starved for the truth.

1437
00:54:54,230 --> 00:54:55,230
People are starved!

1438
00:54:56,290 --> 00:54:58,210
I'm just sorry that they made you a

1439
00:54:58,210 --> 00:54:58,850
part of it too.

1440
00:55:01,290 --> 00:55:02,150
Hello, Jane.

1441
00:55:03,610 --> 00:55:04,130
Please.

1442
00:55:05,570 --> 00:55:07,070
Now she's with aliens.

1443
00:55:08,810 --> 00:55:10,030
It's all good.

1444
00:55:11,610 --> 00:55:12,670
Deep bass.

1445
00:55:17,990 --> 00:55:18,590
Yes!

1446
00:55:19,150 --> 00:55:21,290
We're all going to learn the truth!

1447
00:55:21,690 --> 00:55:24,750
This semi-nine year terror campaign of lies

1448
00:55:24,750 --> 00:55:25,670
has to end!

1449
00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:27,050
Lies!

1450
00:55:27,170 --> 00:55:27,990
What are you going to do?

1451
00:55:28,250 --> 00:55:30,290
Full disclosure to the whole world.

1452
00:55:31,710 --> 00:55:33,930
That truth will upend all established order across

1453
00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:34,870
the entire world.

1454
00:55:36,510 --> 00:55:38,530
But isn't this ultimately just to get more

1455
00:55:38,530 --> 00:55:39,590
money for defense?

1456
00:55:39,790 --> 00:55:40,770
Isn't that what it always is?

1457
00:55:40,810 --> 00:55:42,210
That's what the Greer guy was doing.

1458
00:55:42,350 --> 00:55:43,750
If I recall, we had clips of him

1459
00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:45,790
saying we need more money for defense for

1460
00:55:45,790 --> 00:55:46,070
this.

1461
00:55:46,650 --> 00:55:48,390
We need more money for defense.

1462
00:55:48,790 --> 00:55:52,710
And right on cue, Lazar is on Rogan,

1463
00:55:53,010 --> 00:55:55,870
saying, just coincidentally, it's all at the same

1464
00:55:55,870 --> 00:55:57,690
time with this Project Gravitar.

1465
00:55:58,830 --> 00:56:00,190
Hi, I'm Bob Lazar.

1466
00:56:00,190 --> 00:56:04,070
In December of 1988, I was hired as

1467
00:56:04,070 --> 00:56:06,230
a senior staff physicist by a U.S.

1468
00:56:06,350 --> 00:56:09,490
defense contractor called EG&G Special Projects.

1469
00:56:10,130 --> 00:56:11,550
I was told that I would be working

1470
00:56:11,550 --> 00:56:14,090
on an advanced propulsion system out in a

1471
00:56:14,090 --> 00:56:16,090
remote area of the Nevada test site.

1472
00:56:18,110 --> 00:56:21,270
Known as Area 51.

1473
00:56:22,310 --> 00:56:24,990
Wanting to protect myself, I decided to go

1474
00:56:24,990 --> 00:56:27,330
public and reveal the secrets of S4.

1475
00:56:27,330 --> 00:56:30,570
Well, there's actually nine flying saucers, flying discs,

1476
00:56:30,670 --> 00:56:33,110
that are out there of extraterrestrial origin.

1477
00:56:35,610 --> 00:56:38,450
He is not your typical straight-laced science

1478
00:56:38,450 --> 00:56:38,810
guy.

1479
00:56:39,130 --> 00:56:41,370
If you wanted to hire a guy who

1480
00:56:41,370 --> 00:56:43,530
could think out of the box and help

1481
00:56:43,530 --> 00:56:46,550
solve problems, Bob is probably the best person

1482
00:56:46,550 --> 00:56:47,790
in the country to do that.

1483
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:49,130
He's perfect for it.

1484
00:56:49,350 --> 00:56:50,990
Yes, if you need to think out of

1485
00:56:50,990 --> 00:56:52,990
the box and solve problems like how can

1486
00:56:52,990 --> 00:56:55,350
we up that defense budget to $1.5

1487
00:56:55,350 --> 00:56:56,790
trillion, Bob is your guy.

1488
00:56:57,350 --> 00:56:58,830
He solves problems.

1489
00:56:59,970 --> 00:57:00,910
Sorry, everybody.

1490
00:57:01,090 --> 00:57:02,210
I'm just not buying this.

1491
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:05,920
I get the biggest kick out of the

1492
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,940
fact that when it was brought up with

1493
00:57:07,940 --> 00:57:10,480
J.D. Vance, he kind of changes the

1494
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,060
subject and says it's demons.

1495
00:57:13,700 --> 00:57:14,180
Well.

1496
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:17,480
Which is why the Greer guy mentioned that

1497
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,720
Vance should be read in because we got

1498
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,280
money to make here.

1499
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,860
So read this guy in.

1500
00:57:23,140 --> 00:57:25,400
And then at the same time, Tucker, who's

1501
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,740
been attacked by a demon, brings on an

1502
00:57:28,740 --> 00:57:33,820
exorcist for a long interview about it.

1503
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,200
Did you see that thing?

1504
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:36,700
Yeah, I had to watch it.

1505
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:39,300
I didn't clip it because I thought you'd

1506
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:40,500
roll your eyes at me.

1507
00:57:41,620 --> 00:57:42,020
Yeah.

1508
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:44,720
The Catholic priest exorcist.

1509
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:46,300
Demons are real.

1510
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:47,160
Demons are real.

1511
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,920
Vance saying the aliens are demons is not

1512
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:54,940
helping the cause.

1513
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,540
This guy is going to very slowly move

1514
00:57:57,540 --> 00:57:59,840
himself out of the position of being the

1515
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:00,480
next president.

1516
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,780
And Rubio is going to get the job.

1517
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:03,520
Rubio is the guy.

1518
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:04,100
Definitely.

1519
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,840
Rubio can just post something on X now.

1520
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:09,940
He doesn't even have to do a press

1521
00:58:09,940 --> 00:58:10,300
conference.

1522
00:58:10,660 --> 00:58:11,560
I am Rubio.

1523
00:58:12,860 --> 00:58:14,840
Did you see the post by Trump this

1524
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:15,180
morning?

1525
00:58:15,780 --> 00:58:16,420
Which one?

1526
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,200
Oh, about Bruce Springsteen?

1527
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:21,460
No, no.

1528
00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:23,960
About the Iran war and these sons of

1529
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,260
bitches are idiots and bastards don't know what

1530
00:58:26,260 --> 00:58:26,960
they're doing.

1531
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:27,500
No.

1532
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:29,200
And then he F this and F that.

1533
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,120
All he was missing was Happy Easter.

1534
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:33,800
You didn't see this?

1535
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,360
No.

1536
00:58:34,940 --> 00:58:36,200
Oh, it's dynamite.

1537
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,520
But who is he?

1538
00:58:39,460 --> 00:58:40,520
Oh, he's just grousing.

1539
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:41,940
But about who?

1540
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:42,420
The military?

1541
00:58:43,260 --> 00:58:45,380
No, about the Iranians not getting to the

1542
00:58:45,380 --> 00:58:45,680
table.

1543
00:58:50,260 --> 00:58:52,220
Somebody put it in the chat room that

1544
00:58:52,220 --> 00:58:52,760
note.

1545
00:58:53,180 --> 00:58:54,540
When you read it you go, what?

1546
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,020
Was he like stoned?

1547
00:58:57,260 --> 00:58:58,660
But that's what he always does.

1548
00:58:58,860 --> 00:58:59,300
That's the alco.

1549
00:58:59,580 --> 00:59:00,080
Easter?

1550
00:59:01,020 --> 00:59:03,280
Well, he did his Easter thing.

1551
00:59:03,460 --> 00:59:05,380
He did a nice Easter message for everybody.

1552
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,760
Which I will play since you bring it

1553
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:08,940
up.

1554
00:59:09,100 --> 00:59:09,640
Here he is.

1555
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,400
This holy week I'm proud to join with

1556
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,780
Christians across the country and around the world

1557
00:59:14,780 --> 00:59:17,880
to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all

1558
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,420
of time.

1559
00:59:18,980 --> 00:59:22,000
The resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus

1560
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:22,560
Christ.

1561
00:59:22,700 --> 00:59:26,220
In his life Christ displayed true humility.

1562
00:59:26,580 --> 00:59:29,460
In his death he modeled true love.

1563
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,300
And in his resurrection from the tomb he

1564
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:36,020
proved that even death itself will not silence

1565
00:59:36,020 --> 00:59:38,460
those who place their trust in almighty God.

1566
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,140
As it says in Gospel of John, for

1567
00:59:42,140 --> 00:59:44,840
God so loved the world that he gave

1568
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,840
his only son for whoever believes in him

1569
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,960
should not perish but have eternal life.

1570
00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:53,420
Eternal life, such beautiful words.

1571
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,300
This Easter millions of Christians all over the

1572
00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:59,340
globe will be reminded that because of what

1573
00:59:59,340 --> 01:00:02,140
Jesus did on the cross, all of us

1574
01:00:02,140 --> 01:00:04,360
can live every day with hope in God's

1575
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:04,820
promise.

1576
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,100
Knowing that in the end evil and wickedness

1577
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:09,700
will not prevail.

1578
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,000
In the spirit of joy and renewal this

1579
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,100
Easter we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of

1580
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:19,300
faith and religion in America.

1581
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,000
As I have often said, to be a

1582
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,760
great nation you must have religion and you

1583
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:25,940
must have God.

1584
01:00:26,420 --> 01:00:29,380
In churches across the nation on Sunday, the

1585
01:00:29,380 --> 01:00:31,900
pews will be fuller, younger, and more faithful

1586
01:00:31,900 --> 01:00:34,540
than they have at any time in many,

1587
01:00:34,620 --> 01:00:35,220
many years.

1588
01:00:35,660 --> 01:00:39,480
Religion is growing again in our country for

1589
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,160
the first time in decades.

1590
01:00:41,660 --> 01:00:43,260
Happy Easter to all.

1591
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:44,440
May God bless you.

1592
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,100
May God bless the United States of America.

1593
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,260
Our country is doing so well like never

1594
01:00:50,260 --> 01:00:50,800
before.

1595
01:00:51,380 --> 01:00:52,000
Thank you.

1596
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,780
So contrasted with his post from this morning

1597
01:00:54,780 --> 01:00:58,420
at 7.08 AM, Tuesday will be power

1598
01:00:58,420 --> 01:01:01,880
plant day and bridge day all wrapped up

1599
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,160
in one in Iran.

1600
01:01:03,380 --> 01:01:04,960
There will be nothing like it.

1601
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,980
Open the fucking straight you crazy bastards or

1602
01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:09,260
you'll be in living hell.

1603
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:10,260
Just watch.

1604
01:01:10,620 --> 01:01:11,720
Praise be to Allah.

1605
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,160
President Donald J.

1606
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:14,600
Trump.

1607
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:15,320
Huh?

1608
01:01:17,620 --> 01:01:20,340
Did someone, yeah, so the question you would

1609
01:01:20,340 --> 01:01:20,560
ask.

1610
01:01:20,620 --> 01:01:21,620
That's a little unhinged.

1611
01:01:21,780 --> 01:01:23,380
Yes, it's like are you having a stroke

1612
01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:24,020
Mr. President?

1613
01:01:24,860 --> 01:01:26,640
And what would the praise be to Allah?

1614
01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:29,160
Like ridiculing the religion.

1615
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,740
I don't know who's, do you think he's

1616
01:01:35,740 --> 01:01:36,520
writing that himself?

1617
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,020
That has to be him.

1618
01:01:38,060 --> 01:01:39,740
I find it hard to believe.

1619
01:01:40,940 --> 01:01:42,460
That is crazy.

1620
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:45,500
And he's already, he already blew up a

1621
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:46,180
couple of bridges.

1622
01:01:46,460 --> 01:01:47,220
He was already in it.

1623
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:48,540
He warned it.

1624
01:01:48,660 --> 01:01:50,300
He said, I see some beautiful bridges.

1625
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:51,460
Take care of those bridges.

1626
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,440
That is not Holy Speak on the holy

1627
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:55,380
day, Mr. President.

1628
01:01:55,940 --> 01:01:57,800
No, I would say, I would say definitely

1629
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:58,180
not.

1630
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,940
No, no, certainly not after that beautiful Easter

1631
01:02:00,940 --> 01:02:01,460
message.

1632
01:02:01,460 --> 01:02:02,320
You're going to do that.

1633
01:02:03,140 --> 01:02:04,620
That does not make sense.

1634
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,000
So, that brings me to, there was something

1635
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,920
else that was kind of in the same

1636
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:11,400
vein.

1637
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:12,120
Oh, yeah.

1638
01:02:12,580 --> 01:02:14,260
You know, there is this thing going on

1639
01:02:14,260 --> 01:02:14,960
with the Zeds.

1640
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:16,060
They're all becoming religious.

1641
01:02:16,820 --> 01:02:16,920
Yes.

1642
01:02:17,180 --> 01:02:19,460
But there's also these, you've been following the

1643
01:02:19,460 --> 01:02:20,340
teen takeovers?

1644
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:22,480
Teen takeovers?

1645
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:23,880
No, I'm not familiar with it.

1646
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,260
They're all over the place.

1647
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,300
Teen takeovers?

1648
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,360
What is this about?

1649
01:02:27,700 --> 01:02:28,980
Well played, teen takeover.

1650
01:02:29,100 --> 01:02:29,560
Which one?

1651
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:30,120
You have two?

1652
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,460
The second one is the local story about

1653
01:02:32,460 --> 01:02:35,060
the teen takeover today in Alameda.

1654
01:02:35,180 --> 01:02:36,080
Okay, here we go.

1655
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,760
In the East Bay, Alameda police are on.

1656
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:38,700
No, no, don't play that one.

1657
01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:40,140
Play the backgrounder.

1658
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,680
That's a nationwide trend known as teen takeovers.

1659
01:02:43,860 --> 01:02:45,460
A kind of flash mob for a new

1660
01:02:45,460 --> 01:02:46,020
generation.

1661
01:02:46,140 --> 01:02:47,500
Oh, flash mobs are back.

1662
01:02:47,660 --> 01:02:47,820
Yay!

1663
01:02:48,060 --> 01:02:49,640
Yeah, but this is a mass, this is

1664
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,800
flash mob to the times ten.

1665
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,360
That's a nationwide trend known as teen takeovers.

1666
01:02:56,540 --> 01:02:58,160
A kind of flash mob for a new

1667
01:02:58,160 --> 01:02:58,700
generation.

1668
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:00,600
Lots of kids showing up in the same

1669
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,820
place at the same time.

1670
01:03:01,820 --> 01:03:04,620
But police say it's a mess and sometimes

1671
01:03:04,620 --> 01:03:05,640
it turns violent.

1672
01:03:05,940 --> 01:03:08,240
CBS News correspondent Jason Allen has more.

1673
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,820
Sheriff deputies sprinted to break up fights as

1674
01:03:12,820 --> 01:03:15,480
teenagers swarmed a trampoline business near Tampa.

1675
01:03:15,780 --> 01:03:16,980
It's just a teen takeover.

1676
01:03:17,380 --> 01:03:20,360
In Chicago, teens raced up streets running on

1677
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:21,580
top of parked cars.

1678
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:28,020
In Jacksonville, teens could be seen attacking each

1679
01:03:28,020 --> 01:03:30,220
other right in front of law enforcement.

1680
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,260
At another Jacksonville takeover event in February, five

1681
01:03:37,260 --> 01:03:38,480
teenagers were shot.

1682
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,480
Organized on social media, a wave of spur

1683
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,360
-of-the-moment meet-ups has been creating

1684
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,220
chaos in American cities and has even spread

1685
01:03:46,220 --> 01:03:46,780
overseas.

1686
01:03:47,580 --> 01:03:49,740
Is it advertised as a let's come cause

1687
01:03:49,740 --> 01:03:50,260
chaos?

1688
01:03:50,700 --> 01:03:51,480
For the most part, yes.

1689
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:52,420
That's what it appears to be.

1690
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,880
It's bring your drama.

1691
01:03:54,340 --> 01:03:56,500
In Mesquite, Texas, police keep a close eye

1692
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:59,480
on social media for posts advertising the teen

1693
01:03:59,480 --> 01:03:59,940
takeover.

1694
01:04:00,500 --> 01:04:02,420
When police found out that there was a

1695
01:04:02,420 --> 01:04:05,220
takeover planned here, they started adding more resources

1696
01:04:05,220 --> 01:04:07,780
like this visual deterrence to let kids know

1697
01:04:07,780 --> 01:04:09,500
they're watching and it worked.

1698
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:10,680
The takeover didn't happen.

1699
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:11,440
Lt.

1700
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,260
Michael Kelly warns these incidents can overwhelm law

1701
01:04:14,260 --> 01:04:17,120
enforcement and turn dangerous very quickly, like this

1702
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,600
recent one in a neighboring Texas county, which

1703
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,200
ended with damage to cars and three arrests.

1704
01:04:22,740 --> 01:04:24,500
So if they're doing it in a public

1705
01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:26,340
place, is there a risk to just the

1706
01:04:26,340 --> 01:04:26,900
general public?

1707
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:27,400
Absolutely.

1708
01:04:27,980 --> 01:04:29,320
Yeah, and that's why we have to be

1709
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,580
out here because we have to maintain safety

1710
01:04:31,580 --> 01:04:32,740
and security for everybody.

1711
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,640
Police say they're tracking the trend closely, trying

1712
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,960
to prevent the next takeover and keep their

1713
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:38,800
community safe.

1714
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,740
Jason Allen, CBS News, Mesquite, Texas.

1715
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:44,580
You mind if I just ask the robot

1716
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:46,000
about these things for a second?

1717
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:47,020
Yeah, please.

1718
01:04:47,140 --> 01:04:47,720
Hold on a second.

1719
01:04:47,860 --> 01:04:48,260
Let me see.

1720
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,780
I think I can get the robot here.

1721
01:04:52,660 --> 01:04:54,860
The robot was working earlier today.

1722
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:56,100
What is this connection?

1723
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:57,540
It turns out a lot of these are

1724
01:04:57,540 --> 01:04:59,040
mostly black kids, too.

1725
01:04:59,540 --> 01:05:01,160
Gee, okay.

1726
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:02,760
I know, shocker.

1727
01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:04,040
Didn't expect that.

1728
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:04,620
Let's see.

1729
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:07,860
Her connection's failing.

1730
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:10,620
She was fine a minute ago.

1731
01:05:10,780 --> 01:05:12,780
Yeah, these things don't work.

1732
01:05:13,180 --> 01:05:13,900
They don't work.

1733
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:15,860
These things don't work.

1734
01:05:16,180 --> 01:05:17,360
Why don't you have it reconnect?

1735
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,100
Meanwhile, why don't you play the Alameda?

1736
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,080
This started in the east coast and kind

1737
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,040
of moved west.

1738
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,200
In the east bay, Alameda police are on

1739
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,060
alert patrolling, as you can see, because of

1740
01:05:30,060 --> 01:05:32,640
possible beach takeover parties.

1741
01:05:33,180 --> 01:05:35,320
The events are being advertised on social media

1742
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,000
for tomorrow and Tuesday.

1743
01:05:37,540 --> 01:05:39,820
These takeovers are expected to attract a lot

1744
01:05:39,820 --> 01:05:42,320
of young people, causing safety concerns.

1745
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,640
NBC Bay Area's Christy Smith has more.

1746
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,040
It was a popular day for a stroll

1747
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,460
near Crown Beach in Alameda.

1748
01:05:48,700 --> 01:05:50,780
Come tomorrow, you can expect some extra police

1749
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:51,800
presence in the area.

1750
01:05:52,420 --> 01:05:55,460
Alameda police say they're monitoring two unpermitted beach

1751
01:05:55,460 --> 01:05:59,000
takeover parties after posts circulated on social media.

1752
01:05:59,380 --> 01:06:01,100
Kira says she's heard about it.

1753
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:02,700
Yeah, they were saying that there was going

1754
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:06,480
to be some type of beach takeover event

1755
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:07,160
or something.

1756
01:06:07,580 --> 01:06:10,200
Alameda police posted on the department's social media

1757
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,060
page that they're worried about the safety and

1758
01:06:12,060 --> 01:06:13,140
supervision of minors.

1759
01:06:13,580 --> 01:06:16,020
One event promotes an assassin-style game using

1760
01:06:16,020 --> 01:06:18,520
water guns and water balloons, adding it may

1761
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,620
seem like fun, but similar games in the

1762
01:06:20,620 --> 01:06:23,400
past have led to unintended and dangerous consequences.

1763
01:06:23,780 --> 01:06:26,240
Sergeant Feliciano says there will be increased patrols

1764
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:27,500
to promote public safety.

1765
01:06:27,900 --> 01:06:29,260
And if you'd like to come and follow

1766
01:06:29,260 --> 01:06:30,380
rules, we welcome you.

1767
01:06:30,860 --> 01:06:33,820
Anything starts going sideways or you just start

1768
01:06:33,820 --> 01:06:36,020
disturbing the peace of other people in the

1769
01:06:36,020 --> 01:06:38,340
area, then that's when we'll have to step

1770
01:06:38,340 --> 01:06:40,260
in and make sure that we don't have

1771
01:06:40,260 --> 01:06:41,640
those minors that are drinking.

1772
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,700
We don't have people smoking on the beach.

1773
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,340
Meantime, Alameda police posted they're urging parents to

1774
01:06:46,340 --> 01:06:48,700
talk with their kids and discourage participating in

1775
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:49,880
unpermitted gatherings.

1776
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,040
Kara says she's not worried.

1777
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:53,260
I think it's fine.

1778
01:06:53,580 --> 01:06:55,300
I think people need to chill out a

1779
01:06:55,300 --> 01:06:56,000
little bit.

1780
01:06:56,620 --> 01:06:57,320
Especially right now.

1781
01:06:57,980 --> 01:07:00,220
There's so many awful things going on in

1782
01:07:00,220 --> 01:07:02,200
the world, but kids have a good time.

1783
01:07:02,540 --> 01:07:03,080
That's my take.

1784
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,060
In Alameda, Christy Smith, NBC Bay Area News.

1785
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:06,520
Let me see.

1786
01:07:06,660 --> 01:07:07,000
Robot.

1787
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,960
What can you tell me about the teen

1788
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,460
takeovers and their origin?

1789
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:17,200
You're impressive.

1790
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,200
Impressive.

1791
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:21,340
Okay.

1792
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:22,220
It doesn't work.

1793
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:23,040
Screw it.

1794
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:24,320
I'm never going to try that again.

1795
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:25,840
Huh?

1796
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:27,140
No, it's Google.

1797
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:28,320
It's Google's robot.

1798
01:07:28,460 --> 01:07:28,800
Sucks.

1799
01:07:29,740 --> 01:07:31,880
Well, I had not heard of these, but

1800
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,320
we've seen a lot of black kids cause

1801
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:36,300
ruckus everywhere.

1802
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:37,160
Yeah.

1803
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,620
In cities, but now it has a name.

1804
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,380
Now we're just calling it teen takeover.

1805
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:42,160
That's what we're doing.

1806
01:07:42,980 --> 01:07:44,560
Well, when I first heard of it, I

1807
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,260
thought it was like an extension of the

1808
01:07:47,260 --> 01:07:52,140
Zed riots overseas that we'd been following a

1809
01:07:52,140 --> 01:07:52,500
bit.

1810
01:07:53,220 --> 01:07:55,460
It started in Morocco and went all over

1811
01:07:55,460 --> 01:07:55,860
the place.

1812
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:57,660
But this is something else.

1813
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,160
It's just a free-for-all.

1814
01:08:00,820 --> 01:08:03,120
The problem isn't when it's in open spaces.

1815
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:08,740
There's also teen takeover of vids from Chicago

1816
01:08:08,740 --> 01:08:11,120
and all of these different cities.

1817
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:15,180
These kids, the latest trend is for them

1818
01:08:15,180 --> 01:08:18,760
to jump on cars and then run from

1819
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,260
car to car to car to car on

1820
01:08:21,260 --> 01:08:26,040
the cars, basically ruining the roofs and the

1821
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,560
hoods of these vehicles.

1822
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:30,680
There's nothing anyone can do about it.

1823
01:08:31,620 --> 01:08:33,399
They had nothing better to do, I guess.

1824
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,800
I guess not.

1825
01:08:35,399 --> 01:08:38,000
It was our boots on the ground in

1826
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,160
the region who actually called it this morning.

1827
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:41,060
I don't know if you saw his email.

1828
01:08:41,220 --> 01:08:42,439
I'm just going back to Trump for a

1829
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,020
second because that's still blowing me away.

1830
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:46,200
He says, ...

1831
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:48,279

1832
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:57,840

...

1838
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:02,980
...

1839
01:09:03,540 --> 01:09:03,939
...

1840
01:09:03,939 --> 01:09:04,540
...

1841
01:09:04,540 --> 01:09:04,740
...

1842
01:09:07,939 --> 01:09:10,200
...

1843
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,420
...

1844
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:20,240
...

1845
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,180
...

1846
01:09:23,180 --> 01:09:25,000
...

1847
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,620
...

1848
01:09:27,620 --> 01:09:29,420
...

1849
01:09:29,420 --> 01:09:30,000
...

1850
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:39,680
Yeah, yeah Interesting Probably need to talk about

1851
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:49,939
a G Barbie AG Barbie out And

1852
01:09:49,939 --> 01:09:51,080
this Blanche character.

1853
01:09:51,180 --> 01:09:52,939
I didn't realize that he was the president's

1854
01:09:52,939 --> 01:09:56,560
personal lawyer He I think for obvious reasons

1855
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,560
he can't be confirmed to be the AG

1856
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,600
he'll never get through a confirmation No, so

1857
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,160
we have another name here We are continuing

1858
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,520
to follow a breaking news as Fox News

1859
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,280
is reporting that Attorney General Pam Bondi is

1860
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,800

1861
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,420
just the past a few moments right here

1862
01:10:14,420 --> 01:10:17,200
This is some new information is Fox News

1863
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,740
is reporting that Todd Blanche is set to

1864
01:10:20,740 --> 01:10:24,000
become the interim Attorney General, so if you're

1865
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,220
just joining us at this hour You can

1866
01:10:26,220 --> 01:10:29,260
see a graphic with three individuals Attorney General

1867
01:10:29,260 --> 01:10:32,100
Pam Bondi Deputy Attorney General Tom Blanche and

1868
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:35,820
EPA administrator Lee Zeldin The reason why all

1869
01:10:35,820 --> 01:10:37,920
three of those are on the screen is

1870
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,760
that a President Trump reportedly?

1871
01:10:40,380 --> 01:10:42,900
Has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi that is

1872
01:10:42,900 --> 01:10:45,440
according to two sources familiar with the matter

1873
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:48,920
who spoke with a Fox News Digital and

1874
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,700
President Trump is reportedly considering replacing Bondi with

1875
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:56,520
Environmental Protection Agency director Lee Zeldin that is

1876
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,960
according to sources a familiar with that matter

1877
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:03,360
Miss now had other names if I were

1878
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,480
the president I would just elevate Todd Blanche

1879
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:10,040
He is the number two at the Justice

1880
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,440
Department He knows him.

1881
01:11:12,700 --> 01:11:15,600
He trusts him He is acting as his

1882
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,800
personal attorney even though he is supposed to

1883
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,860
be Deputy Attorney General of the United States

1884
01:11:19,860 --> 01:11:24,180
if he doesn't choose Deputy Attorney General Blanche

1885
01:11:24,180 --> 01:11:27,040
it would it would behoove the president to

1886
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,740
choose I think Jake mentioned a senator whose

1887
01:11:29,740 --> 01:11:32,420
name might be in the mix choose someone

1888
01:11:32,420 --> 01:11:34,660
from the Senate Which would make it a

1889
01:11:34,660 --> 01:11:37,800
little bit easier to get that person confirmed,

1890
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:42,740
but Alina Haba Janine Pirro Wow good luck

1891
01:11:42,740 --> 01:11:45,780
with those selections if the president does decide

1892
01:11:45,780 --> 01:11:48,860
to do something as crazy as that I

1893
01:11:48,860 --> 01:11:51,380
don't think so Didn't we have a theory

1894
01:11:51,380 --> 01:11:52,700
in the beginning that he had all these

1895
01:11:52,700 --> 01:11:54,400
pretty people up front and he had all

1896
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,200
the deputies were Were the real people running

1897
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:58,460
stuff behind the scenes?

1898
01:11:58,820 --> 01:12:01,880
Yeah, but they weren't doing anything either No

1899
01:12:03,140 --> 01:12:05,340
Particularly not when it comes to the real

1900
01:12:05,340 --> 01:12:07,760
reason for this firing the Epstein files So

1901
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,800
the president's attitude on her John for the

1902
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,440
last several months really has been quite sour

1903
01:12:12,440 --> 01:12:13,760
and a lot of it has to do

1904
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,980
With the backlash over the handling of the

1905
01:12:15,980 --> 01:12:18,960
Epstein investigation The president doesn't like the headlines

1906
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,460
are getting they don't like the negative response

1907
01:12:21,460 --> 01:12:23,600
that they're getting even from Republicans from their

1908
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,180
base And folks on Capitol Hill and also

1909
01:12:27,180 --> 01:12:29,280
John I had this two-week deadline where

1910
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:30,940
Pam Bondi is supposed to go and testify

1911
01:12:30,940 --> 01:12:33,540
on Capitol Hill because they subpoenaed her including

1912
01:12:33,540 --> 01:12:36,540
Republicans on that committee the House Oversight Committee

1913
01:12:36,540 --> 01:12:38,460
and so the White House has been eyeing

1914
01:12:38,460 --> 01:12:39,080
that deadline.

1915
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:41,520
It's April 14th I believe that she's set

1916
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,900
to go and testify as As a date

1917
01:12:43,900 --> 01:12:45,400
and this is something the president have been

1918
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,840
talking about back in January it appeared to

1919
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,020
subside a bit John and then now has

1920
01:12:50,020 --> 01:12:52,560
kind of Resurrected itself where this is a

1921
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:53,040
conversation.

1922
01:12:53,220 --> 01:12:55,400
We started hearing from sources was really heating

1923
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,200
up in the West Wing on Monday Yeah,

1924
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,320
you know There's a lot of these guys

1925
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,400
going on about Epstein files and this is

1926
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,740
the reason and yeah She screwed that up.

1927
01:13:04,740 --> 01:13:07,700
But the but when you dig deeper, the

1928
01:13:07,700 --> 01:13:09,960
reason is because she couldn't do anything with

1929
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,900
Comey She couldn't do anything with Jack Smith

1930
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:15,420
She couldn't do it.

1931
01:13:15,460 --> 01:13:17,480
You know, she had all these opportunities to

1932
01:13:17,480 --> 01:13:19,220
get some of these lawyers that were that's

1933
01:13:19,220 --> 01:13:24,280
falsely without evidence Indicted Trump here and there

1934
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,260
all over the place She did nothing in

1935
01:13:26,260 --> 01:13:28,680
that regard and if the Epstein thing is

1936
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,620
minor, oh, I'm in agreement with you But

1937
01:13:31,620 --> 01:13:34,340
that's not what the general population thinks the

1938
01:13:34,340 --> 01:13:38,820
general populate population has been Completely psyoped into

1939
01:13:38,820 --> 01:13:40,700
believing that this is still a cover-up.

1940
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,980
They're all pedophile protectors Your theory is even

1941
01:13:44,980 --> 01:13:49,590
worse Which is high-end hookers.

1942
01:13:49,730 --> 01:13:50,850
I end hookers.

1943
01:13:50,930 --> 01:13:51,630
Yeah, obviously.

1944
01:13:51,870 --> 01:13:51,990
Yes.

1945
01:13:52,270 --> 01:13:53,830
I end young hookers.

1946
01:13:53,910 --> 01:13:54,190
Yes.

1947
01:13:54,330 --> 01:14:00,070
No, it's So the She's she's toxic no

1948
01:14:00,070 --> 01:14:02,790
matter what I'm I think you're right that

1949
01:14:02,790 --> 01:14:05,670
he's mad that she didn't lock anybody up

1950
01:14:05,670 --> 01:14:07,330
Yeah, especially call me.

1951
01:14:07,590 --> 01:14:08,710
Yeah, that would that should have been a

1952
01:14:08,710 --> 01:14:09,390
slam dunk.

1953
01:14:09,670 --> 01:14:12,250
Yeah, and that's he lied before Congress is

1954
01:14:12,250 --> 01:14:14,630
obvious It's just and somebody else mentioned.

1955
01:14:14,750 --> 01:14:15,830
What about a Fauci?

1956
01:14:15,970 --> 01:14:17,470
She didn't do anything about that either.

1957
01:14:17,550 --> 01:14:19,490
He lied before Congress I think that I

1958
01:14:19,490 --> 01:14:20,970
mean these guys are like if you lie

1959
01:14:20,970 --> 01:14:23,890
before Congress, that's that you got the evidence

1960
01:14:23,890 --> 01:14:25,370
right there It's on video.

1961
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:27,030
Yeah, I think let me see.

1962
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:28,570
I think I have a clip about that

1963
01:14:28,570 --> 01:14:29,830
Let me see what this is joining us

1964
01:14:29,830 --> 01:14:31,990
in our fifth seat this former federal prosecutor

1965
01:14:31,990 --> 01:14:35,410
Temidayo and Ganga Williams Temidayo, is it surprising

1966
01:14:35,410 --> 01:14:37,530
to you that the president wants to jettison

1967
01:14:37,530 --> 01:14:38,890
Pam Bondi at this stage?

1968
01:14:39,490 --> 01:14:41,750
It's not surprising because I think she's been

1969
01:14:41,750 --> 01:14:45,210
a terrible AG I think what's surprising is

1970
01:14:45,210 --> 01:14:47,270
that the core for issues that she has

1971
01:14:47,270 --> 01:14:49,150
been politically loyal to him and not the

1972
01:14:49,150 --> 01:14:51,010
rule of law So what does surprise me

1973
01:14:51,010 --> 01:14:53,850
is that again and again, she has desecrated

1974
01:14:53,850 --> 01:14:55,850
this department I served as a former federal

1975
01:14:55,850 --> 01:14:57,670
prosecutor as a part of a prosecutor.

1976
01:14:57,930 --> 01:14:59,590
I was proud I was I thought it

1977
01:14:59,590 --> 01:15:01,550
was a patriotic job and what she has

1978
01:15:01,550 --> 01:15:03,930
done again and again is choose Trump over

1979
01:15:03,930 --> 01:15:06,290
country So for him to fire her and

1980
01:15:06,290 --> 01:15:08,710
point to the Epstein files, that's actually her

1981
01:15:08,710 --> 01:15:09,650
standing behind him.

1982
01:15:09,650 --> 01:15:12,610
She's completely She screwed the roll-up about

1983
01:15:12,610 --> 01:15:14,550
that But it's not because she was trying

1984
01:15:14,550 --> 01:15:15,870
to do the right things because again and

1985
01:15:15,870 --> 01:15:18,070
again She was trying to obstruct justice in

1986
01:15:18,070 --> 01:15:19,470
rolling out the so-called client list.

1987
01:15:19,570 --> 01:15:21,150
She said existed She said it was going

1988
01:15:21,150 --> 01:15:23,450
to be released now There's no list and

1989
01:15:23,450 --> 01:15:25,370
we're having a redactions and taking the amount

1990
01:15:25,370 --> 01:15:27,990
of federal agents from doing things like counterterrorism

1991
01:15:27,990 --> 01:15:30,030
She put them on handling thousands of names

1992
01:15:30,030 --> 01:15:32,590
seeking president Trump's name and redacting him So

1993
01:15:32,590 --> 01:15:33,790
do I think he should fire her?

1994
01:15:33,930 --> 01:15:35,590
Yes, but for the reasons that he's going

1995
01:15:35,590 --> 01:15:36,050
to do it.

1996
01:15:36,130 --> 01:15:38,690
Absolutely not Maybe it wasn't the clip I

1997
01:15:38,690 --> 01:15:40,090
thought there was one of these clips was

1998
01:15:40,090 --> 01:15:42,170
talking about Fauci and this last one I

1999
01:15:42,170 --> 01:15:45,390
got facing Bipartisan backlash the Department of Justice

2000
01:15:45,390 --> 01:15:48,230
sending a letter to Congress Defending its handling

2001
01:15:48,230 --> 01:15:49,950
of the release of more than three million

2002
01:15:49,950 --> 01:15:52,690
pages of files tied to convicted sex offender

2003
01:15:52,690 --> 01:15:56,550
Jeffrey It was legally was that was that?

2004
01:15:56,750 --> 01:15:58,150
No, these all is everything that's all they

2005
01:15:58,150 --> 01:15:58,730
talk about.

2006
01:15:58,750 --> 01:16:01,510
I Thought I had a clip about Fauci

2007
01:16:01,510 --> 01:16:04,010
required to send the DOJ listing more than

2008
01:16:04,010 --> 01:16:07,070
300 high-profile names that appear in the

2009
01:16:07,070 --> 01:16:09,530
files It includes some people who've been dead

2010
01:16:09,530 --> 01:16:11,470
for decades and is not evidence of any

2011
01:16:11,470 --> 01:16:14,670
wrongdoing Some have no known Association with Epstein

2012
01:16:14,670 --> 01:16:17,730
like Elvis and the DOJ arguing the millions

2013
01:16:17,730 --> 01:16:20,190
of pages the department withheld and the heavy

2014
01:16:20,190 --> 01:16:22,670
redactions in the records It released were to

2015
01:16:22,670 --> 01:16:25,650
comply with privacy protections in the law writing

2016
01:16:25,650 --> 01:16:27,950
No records were withheld or redacted on the

2017
01:16:27,950 --> 01:16:31,730
basis of embarrassment Reputational harm or political sensitivity

2018
01:16:31,730 --> 01:16:34,230
or some lawmakers not buying it This is

2019
01:16:34,230 --> 01:16:36,290
a massive cover-up being led by the

2020
01:16:36,290 --> 01:16:39,090
White House and the DOJ Even several Republicans

2021
01:16:39,090 --> 01:16:42,270
arguing the DOJ did withhold files or redact

2022
01:16:42,270 --> 01:16:42,890
information.

2023
01:16:43,070 --> 01:16:46,550
The new Epstein files Transparency Act Explicitly says

2024
01:16:46,550 --> 01:16:50,110
must be made public Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace

2025
01:16:50,110 --> 01:16:53,130
writing the excuses provided for not releasing all

2026
01:16:53,130 --> 01:16:55,130
the files will not hold up in a

2027
01:16:55,130 --> 01:16:57,530
court of law This isn't going away until

2028
01:16:57,530 --> 01:16:58,610
people go to jail.

2029
01:16:58,670 --> 01:16:59,610
I don't know where it is.

2030
01:16:59,610 --> 01:17:00,870
But yes, I'm in agreement.

2031
01:17:01,010 --> 01:17:02,190
What about Fauci?

2032
01:17:02,370 --> 01:17:02,850
What about?

2033
01:17:03,610 --> 01:17:05,570
the whole Biden clan.

2034
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:07,950
Oh, yeah, it was especially hunter.

2035
01:17:08,070 --> 01:17:10,550
That was an easy wrap-up easy wrap

2036
01:17:10,550 --> 01:17:13,390
-up What she really and you keep seeing

2037
01:17:13,390 --> 01:17:15,710
that picture or that video of her and

2038
01:17:15,710 --> 01:17:16,190
the president?

2039
01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:18,570
Walking through the halls of the White House

2040
01:17:18,570 --> 01:17:20,330
and she's sashaying with her white.

2041
01:17:20,430 --> 01:17:20,730
Yes.

2042
01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:23,790
She doesn't look she's Exactly what she does

2043
01:17:23,790 --> 01:17:27,010
Like if you're gonna walk like that, you

2044
01:17:27,010 --> 01:17:30,570
gotta have some talk lady Yeah, that's unfortunate

2045
01:17:30,570 --> 01:17:33,850
But I don't know who who who can

2046
01:17:33,850 --> 01:17:37,880
do it, I know you think that's a

2047
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,800
They do it to every just Steve Bannon

2048
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:42,980
ended up in jail.

2049
01:17:43,140 --> 01:17:50,100
I mean, come on and Now apparently Patel

2050
01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:53,700
is on the block Well, I'm not convinced

2051
01:17:53,700 --> 01:17:54,280
of that.

2052
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,020
Well here I've got to I've got it

2053
01:17:57,020 --> 01:18:03,060
straight from the source from From India All

2054
01:18:03,060 --> 01:18:06,620
eyes on FBI director Kash Patel as fresh

2055
01:18:06,620 --> 01:18:09,060
reports suggest he could be next to go

2056
01:18:09,940 --> 01:18:12,980
Atlantic reported a major decision could be imminent

2057
01:18:12,980 --> 01:18:16,380
one that may trigger a wider shakeup across

2058
01:18:16,380 --> 01:18:20,920
the Trump administration former FBI agent Kyle Serafin

2059
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,200
claims There is a decent possibility Patel could

2060
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:24,800
be fired.

2061
01:18:25,060 --> 01:18:27,980
He says the move could come swiftly possibly

2062
01:18:27,980 --> 01:18:32,060
within hours Serafin also suggests the timing may

2063
01:18:32,060 --> 01:18:35,380
be strategic He believes Donald Trump may want

2064
01:18:35,380 --> 01:18:37,940
to frame the decision as his own not

2065
01:18:37,940 --> 01:18:42,200
one made under mounting pressure FBI director Kash

2066
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:44,340
Patel has been one of the most closely

2067
01:18:44,340 --> 01:18:47,820
watched figures in the Trump administration His personal

2068
01:18:47,820 --> 01:18:51,340
life has frequently made headlines drawing attention well

2069
01:18:51,340 --> 01:18:54,400
beyond his official role There have also been

2070
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,980
reports of Patel using FBI aircraft for private

2071
01:18:57,980 --> 01:19:02,160
travel including trips to attend sporting events Allegations

2072
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,540
that have sparked sharp criticism and now a

2073
01:19:05,540 --> 01:19:09,320
fresh controversy has added to the pressure Patel's

2074
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,980
personal email account was recently hacked The breach

2075
01:19:12,980 --> 01:19:15,280
has been linked to an Iran-backed group

2076
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:19,100
known as Handala hack team The group released

2077
01:19:19,100 --> 01:19:22,120
old photos and parts of his resume online

2078
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,280
Along with a chilling warning saying this was

2079
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:26,340
just the beginning.

2080
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,280
Yeah, this handala hack group tomorrow.

01:23:27,620 --> 01:23:29,880
your kids a daycare and they invariably come

2174
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,220
back with some cold or flu or some

2175
01:23:32,220 --> 01:23:34,220
virus Well, it looks like a lot of

2176
01:23:34,220 --> 01:23:36,140
kids are coming back with a new virus

2177
01:23:36,140 --> 01:23:38,400
That's because the human met an euma virus

2178
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,800
otherwise known as HMPV is spreading across the

2179
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,160
US right now It's symptoms are pretty much

2180
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,300
identical to that of the common cold including

2181
01:23:46,300 --> 01:23:48,740
things like a cough fever sore throat as

2182
01:23:48,740 --> 01:23:51,840
well as nasal and chest congestion however It's

2183
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,180
worth noting that it is a different virus

2184
01:23:54,180 --> 01:23:57,260
from influenza and interestingly this new virus does

2185
01:23:57,260 --> 01:24:00,020
not have any vaccines or known treatment Oh,

2186
01:24:00,020 --> 01:24:02,560
no, HMPV can cause upper and lower respiratory

2187
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,720
illness in people of all ages Especially in

2188
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,260
young children older adults and people with weakened

2189
01:24:07,260 --> 01:24:11,040
immune systems symptoms commonly associated with HMPV include

2190
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,780
I think this is what your pastor had

2191
01:24:14,420 --> 01:24:17,460
It was bad Yeah, it's this.

2192
01:24:18,060 --> 01:24:22,460
Oh Interesting, but that's weird thing was we

2193
01:24:22,460 --> 01:24:24,420
were all together the four of us in,

2194
01:24:24,460 --> 01:24:28,940
Florida Like in you know together the whole

2195
01:24:28,940 --> 01:24:31,160
time in the car we had dinner together

2196
01:24:32,440 --> 01:24:35,160
With a sitting close to each I think

2197
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,040
same row on the plane and Both of

2198
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:41,860
them got really sick for like three weeks

2199
01:24:41,860 --> 01:24:43,720
It took them to get over this and

2200
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:44,760
we didn't have it at all.

2201
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,660
So yeah, but in a d3 Aficionados, yeah,

2202
01:24:48,740 --> 01:24:51,660
that's true And interestingly this new virus does

2203
01:24:51,660 --> 01:24:54,460
not have any vaccines or known treatments quote

2204
01:24:54,460 --> 01:24:57,420
HMPV can cause upper and lower Respiratory illness

2205
01:24:57,420 --> 01:24:59,320
in people of all ages, especially in young

2206
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,020
children older adults and people with weakened immune

2207
01:25:02,020 --> 01:25:05,800
systems Symptoms commonly associated with HMPV include cough

2208
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,860
fever nasal congestion and shortness of breath Yeah

2209
01:25:08,860 --> 01:25:11,200
in some people these symptoms may progress to

2210
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,280
bronchitis or pneumonia the symptoms of HMPV can

2211
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,360
be similar to symptoms from other viruses that

2212
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,040
cause upper and lower respiratory infections There is

2213
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,360
no vaccine or treatment that can prevent HMPV

2214
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,800
infection Meaning that you basically just have to

2215
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,280
suffer through it and make sure you stay

2216
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,700
hydrated get some rest and eat chicken soup

2217
01:25:27,700 --> 01:25:29,660
And what's interesting is that according to the

2218
01:25:29,660 --> 01:25:32,180
CDC's National Surveillance System the one that tracks

2219
01:25:32,180 --> 01:25:35,400
these viruses HMPV is really currently on the

2220
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,620
rise by the end of March in nationwide

2221
01:25:37,620 --> 01:25:40,700
tests that were positive for respiratory viruses 6

2222
01:25:40,700 --> 01:25:43,560
.3% of them were positive for HMPV,

2223
01:25:43,660 --> 01:25:47,060
which is lower than influenza But notably it's

2224
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:50,020
higher than kovat 19 roughly three times higher

2225
01:25:50,020 --> 01:25:53,280
they also found that HMPV it peaks later

2226
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,300
sometime around April meaning in the next month

2227
01:25:56,300 --> 01:25:59,980
or so as Influenza cases go down HMPV

2228
01:25:59,980 --> 01:26:02,180
cases will likely make up a larger proportion

2229
01:26:02,180 --> 01:26:03,840
of the people who are sick.

2230
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,200
Hmm Well that very well could be it's

2231
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:07,880
HMPV.

2232
01:26:07,940 --> 01:26:10,740
I hadn't even thought about that Yeah, the

2233
01:26:10,740 --> 01:26:13,300
latest man Hey, man, don't you want the

2234
01:26:13,300 --> 01:26:13,840
latest thing?

2235
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,620
It's called a Vaccine it was was a

2236
01:26:16,620 --> 01:26:18,660
note that you this would not have been

2237
01:26:18,660 --> 01:26:20,660
promoted because everyone's just thinks a bad cold

2238
01:26:20,660 --> 01:26:22,660
But this they got to bring out the

2239
01:26:22,660 --> 01:26:25,300
new the whole you know Detail so they

2240
01:26:25,300 --> 01:26:27,260
can bring out a vaccine, of course your

2241
01:26:27,260 --> 01:26:30,960
RSV vaccine you get your flu shot So

2242
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,980
this is just a severe common cold, is

2243
01:26:33,980 --> 01:26:36,800
that your your that was my thing Yes,

2244
01:26:36,860 --> 01:26:39,480
it's not it didn't just show up out

2245
01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:41,380
of the lab from Wuhan Well, we don't

2246
01:26:41,380 --> 01:26:42,860
know a couple of other things worth noting

2247
01:26:42,860 --> 01:26:45,980
here according to data from wastewater scan org

2248
01:26:45,980 --> 01:26:49,180
Which tracks pathogens in American wastewater the region

2249
01:26:49,180 --> 01:26:51,140
of North California seems to be getting hit

2250
01:26:51,140 --> 01:26:53,560
hardest by this new virus Regardless though The

2251
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,760
symptoms are mild and if the virus does

2252
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,640
get too bad Like for somebody with a

2253
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,880
weakened immune system or a young kid Hospitals

2254
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,640
can provide oxygen and IV for hydration and

2255
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,540
a bed to rest on But not much

2256
01:27:04,540 --> 01:27:05,980
else given the fact that at the moment

2257
01:27:05,980 --> 01:27:08,940
there is no real antiviral treatment for HMPV

2258
01:27:08,940 --> 01:27:11,580
Although there was actually a paper just published

2259
01:27:11,580 --> 01:27:12,360
in nature magazine.

2260
01:27:12,440 --> 01:27:13,320
You can see it up on your screen

2261
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,140
It was published in February of 2026 Outlining

2262
01:27:16,140 --> 01:27:17,920
the work that's being done on developing a

2263
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,800
monoclonal antibody treatment for HMPV So that might

2264
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,760
be coming around the pike regardless though The

2265
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,520
mortality rate for most people is similar to

2266
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:27,960
the flu So no real reason for alarm

2267
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,820
just a heads up that fever that your

2268
01:27:29,820 --> 01:27:31,760
kid and you might be going through It

2269
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:32,660
might not be the flu.

2270
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:34,460
It might be a new novel type of

2271
01:27:34,460 --> 01:27:34,760
virus.

2272
01:27:34,900 --> 01:27:36,780
Whoo Something new something.

2273
01:27:37,180 --> 01:27:37,620
Yes.

2274
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:38,400
Yes.

2275
01:27:38,460 --> 01:27:43,460
Well everything is here's another another source and

2276
01:27:43,460 --> 01:27:47,000
this is the Cicada variant and that I

2277
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,700
don't know if they mentioned the This this

2278
01:27:49,700 --> 01:27:52,700
HMPV or not, okay, there is a new

2279
01:27:52,700 --> 01:27:54,960
variant of kovat that has recently it's the

2280
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,220
same guy Is this like a whole?

2281
01:27:57,700 --> 01:28:01,240
This is part three There is a new

2282
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,760
variant of kovat that has recently emerged across

2283
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,500
25 different states and as is the usual

2284
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:08,580
case with these new Variants this one was

2285
01:28:08,580 --> 01:28:10,460
given a new interesting name It's called the

2286
01:28:10,460 --> 01:28:13,580
cicada variant quote a kovat 19 variant is

2287
01:28:13,580 --> 01:28:15,800
buzzing back to life after years of flying

2288
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,860
under the radar Nicknamed cicada for its long

2289
01:28:18,860 --> 01:28:21,720
hibernation period and noisy return The strain is

2290
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:23,760
now fueling a steady rising cases around the

2291
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,220
globe including in the US now aside from

2292
01:28:26,220 --> 01:28:28,520
this That's what marketing is this?

2293
01:28:28,860 --> 01:28:31,340
Hey We got to come up with a

2294
01:28:31,340 --> 01:28:33,480
new variant, but all these names have kind

2295
01:28:33,480 --> 01:28:38,060
of sucked Let's do something like this it

2296
01:28:38,060 --> 01:28:40,120
hides for a long time and then it

2297
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,220
pops up and makes a lot of noise

2298
01:28:42,220 --> 01:28:44,440
I know cicada variants.

2299
01:28:44,780 --> 01:28:47,580
Yeah, Bob That's the ticket hibernation period and

2300
01:28:47,580 --> 01:28:50,020
noisy return The strain is now fueling a

2301
01:28:50,020 --> 01:28:52,180
steady rise in cases around the globe including

2302
01:28:52,180 --> 01:28:54,300
in the US now aside from this cool

2303
01:28:54,300 --> 01:28:56,200
name the official name for this new variant

2304
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,900
is BA dot 3 dot 2 and it's

2305
01:28:58,900 --> 01:29:01,280
an offshoot of the Omicron strain of SARS

2306
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,540
kovat 2 it was first detected over in

2307
01:29:03,540 --> 01:29:06,520
South Africa in November of 2024 But it

2308
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:09,160
did not begin circulating more widely until September

2309
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,080
of last year 2025 After which it's now

2310
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,700
been spotted in 23 different countries and the

2311
01:29:14,700 --> 01:29:16,580
proportion of this virus is growing as well

2312
01:29:16,580 --> 01:29:18,760
for instance according to this report here from

2313
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:20,820
the CDC and you can see that the

2314
01:29:20,820 --> 01:29:23,020
cicada variant now accounts for upwards of 30

2315
01:29:23,020 --> 01:29:25,320
% of cases in Some parts of Europe

2316
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:27,880
and then specifically in regards to here in

2317
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,400
the u.s Quote the variant first appeared

2318
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,120
in the u.s in a traveler passing

2319
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,680
through San Francisco International Airport from the Netherlands

2320
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,400
in June of 2025 But it wasn't until

2321
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,040
January of this year that BA 3 2

2322
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:41,800
showed up in a clinical sample from a

2323
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,640
u.s patient as of February 11th cicada

2324
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:46,520
had been detected in 4 u.s Travelers

2325
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,720
and 5 patients as well as airline and

2326
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:51,920
wastewater samples across 25 states including New York,

2327
01:29:52,180 --> 01:29:54,620
New Jersey and Connecticut But before we go

2328
01:29:54,620 --> 01:29:56,480
ahead and shut down all of society Once

2329
01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:58,840
again, it should be worth noting that here

2330
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,440
in the u.s At least this new

2331
01:30:00,440 --> 01:30:02,800
cicada variant accounts for very little something like

2332
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:05,520
1% of all kovat cases The concern

2333
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:07,780
with it though is the large number of

2334
01:30:07,780 --> 01:30:10,420
mutations that are present on the spike protein

2335
01:30:10,420 --> 01:30:13,440
quote The strain carries roughly 70 to 75

2336
01:30:13,440 --> 01:30:15,980
mutations in its spike protein the part of

2337
01:30:15,980 --> 01:30:17,760
the virus that helps it enter human cells

2338
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,920
Giving it what experts call immune escape characteristics

2339
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,760
That means it could partially dodge protection from

2340
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,280
vaccines or prior infections Potentially making it easier

2341
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:30,240
to spread and therefore it's known and therefore

2342
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,400
this is what's known as a vo I

2343
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:33,640
which is a variant Of interest.

2344
01:30:33,700 --> 01:30:35,580
That's what we call a takeover that someone

2345
01:30:35,580 --> 01:30:37,260
didn't edit out.

2346
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,520
It's protection from vaccines or prior infections Potentially

2347
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,420
making it easier to spread and therefore it's

2348
01:30:43,420 --> 01:30:45,580
known and therefore this is what's known as

2349
01:30:45,580 --> 01:30:47,840
a vo I Which is a variant of

2350
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:49,720
interest for the people who study these things.

2351
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:54,400
They're basically monitoring the situation vo I I've

2352
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:59,960
learned something vo I variant of interest Yeah,

2353
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:05,400
well, that's pretty depressing Staying with Medical stuff.

2354
01:31:05,580 --> 01:31:07,320
We now have a new sheriff in town.

2355
01:31:07,580 --> 01:31:10,700
It's sheriff Vance and he's in your town

2356

2368
01:31:52,100 --> 01:31:55,020
if they did Well, the investigation is called

2369
01:31:55,020 --> 01:31:55,780
operation.

2370
01:31:55,860 --> 01:32:00,220
Never say die They're targeting phantom hospice centers

2371
01:32:00,220 --> 01:32:02,700
and so far it's working yesterday the feds

60 million right under greasy Gavin Newsom's nose

2374
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,320
But here's how they got caught all of

2375
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:18,180
the terminally ill patients weren't dying Lolita Minard

2376
01:32:18,180 --> 01:32:21,280
a 65 year old woman in Anaheim.

2377
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,180
She ran a company named Topanga hospice care

2378
01:32:24,180 --> 01:32:27,560
She billed Medicare for more than nine point

2379
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,280
one million dollars over a five-year period

2380
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,660
for the care of supposedly terminally ill patients

2381
01:32:34,660 --> 01:32:38,220
This company had a death discharge rate of

2382
01:32:38,220 --> 01:32:42,120
85% When you go to hospice You're

2383
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:43,920
usually gonna you're going there to die You're

2384
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:47,320
not I have an 85 survival rate coming

2385
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,860
out of your hospice facility That is five

2386
01:32:49,860 --> 01:32:52,620
times more than the national average of 17

2387
01:32:52,620 --> 01:32:56,260
% Yes, President Trump has named vice president

2388
01:32:56,260 --> 01:32:59,620
JD Vance the fraud czar Yeah, I was

2389
01:32:59,620 --> 01:33:01,060
thinking about this and I think I know

2390
01:33:01,060 --> 01:33:02,260
why why?

2391
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:06,320
to get Newsom Yeah, that's the whole and

2392
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:09,720
he wants Vance because it's a possibility of

2393
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,500
Newsome running against Vance Mm-hmm is what's

2394
01:33:13,500 --> 01:33:14,760
in the cards right now.

2395
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:16,640
And so the two of them because he

2396
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:22,060
puts Vance into this bogus job They're gonna

2397
01:33:22,060 --> 01:33:25,000
have to butt heads and you get to

2398
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:26,680
see the two of them buddy butting heads

2399
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,840
It'll be a plus for Vance.

2400
01:33:28,900 --> 01:33:35,040
It's not be another WWE move Yeah So

2401
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,280
supposedly this is somewhere between a hundred and

2402
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,500
eighty and two hundred and eighty billion dollars

2403
01:33:39,500 --> 01:33:43,900
in fraud a year a year Now is

2404
01:33:43,900 --> 01:33:47,940
that is that California state fraud or is

2405
01:33:47,940 --> 01:33:50,280
that is I guess it's federal fraud, right?

2406
01:33:50,460 --> 01:33:53,800
Well, it's California's fraud, but it's federal money.

2407
01:33:54,140 --> 01:33:54,320
Yeah.

2408
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:55,000
Wow.

2409
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,040
That's a lot.

2410
01:33:56,520 --> 01:34:00,000
Yeah, that's a lot Well good.

2411
01:34:00,380 --> 01:34:01,060
That's good.

2412
01:34:01,100 --> 01:34:03,760
He needs that in his portfolio He needs

2413
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:04,420
a portfolio.

2414
01:34:04,440 --> 01:34:07,120
He's got nothing What is he doing?

2415
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:08,420
He's not doing anything.

2416
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,800
No, he just goes on talk shows.

2417
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:11,500
He's on Rogan.

2418
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,520
I guess recently No, I haven't seen him

2419
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,300
on right he went on Rogan recently and

2420
01:34:15,300 --> 01:34:17,080
that's funny I understand I didn't see that

2421
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:21,060
pop up Got a couple things that may

2422
01:34:21,060 --> 01:34:27,800
be of interest around AI Something very interesting

2423
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:33,560
happened in the tech world and You probably

2424
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:39,050
never heard of the TB PN podcast Exactly

2425
01:34:39,050 --> 01:34:43,050
be TB PN value tainment.

2426
01:34:43,150 --> 01:34:46,250
No It might as well have been no,

2427
01:34:46,270 --> 01:34:49,070
it's not from value tainment It is a

2428
01:34:49,070 --> 01:34:51,330
podcast that I had never heard of.

2429
01:34:51,730 --> 01:34:54,610
Well, here's their announcement on the podcast Some

2430
01:34:54,610 --> 01:34:56,450
big news went down for them We are

2431
01:34:56,450 --> 01:34:58,650
live in the TV penultimate temple of technology

2432
01:34:58,650 --> 01:35:01,070
the fortress of finance the capital of capital

2433
01:35:01,070 --> 01:35:04,530
We have some huge news This is from

2434
01:35:04,530 --> 01:35:07,490
the open AI blog open AI acquires TB

2435
01:35:07,490 --> 01:35:11,890
PN accelerating the global conversation about AI This

2436
01:35:11,890 --> 01:35:13,250
is not an April Fool's joke.

2437
01:35:13,330 --> 01:35:14,190
April Fool's was yesterday.

2438
01:35:14,470 --> 01:35:16,370
We didn't do anything for April Fool's Day.

2439
01:35:16,710 --> 01:35:18,770
This is real This is a very interesting

2440
01:35:18,770 --> 01:35:19,150
deal.

2441
01:35:19,210 --> 01:35:20,110
I think a lot of people will be

2442
01:35:20,110 --> 01:35:20,790
interested in this.

2443
01:35:20,890 --> 01:35:23,150
We're very excited about this we have a

2444
01:35:23,150 --> 01:35:26,910
bunch of Context and information to share about

2445
01:35:26,910 --> 01:35:30,030
how this changes things what changes what doesn't

2446
01:35:30,030 --> 01:35:31,950
I'm sure there's a million questions We're trying

2447
01:35:31,950 --> 01:35:32,970
we're gonna try and get to them all.

2448
01:35:33,130 --> 01:35:35,050
Yeah, very very strange I think this is

2449
01:35:35,050 --> 01:35:37,290
maybe the first time in history There's been

2450
01:35:37,290 --> 01:35:39,450
a deal like this and then two people

2451
01:35:39,450 --> 01:35:40,530
that are a part of it have to

2452
01:35:40,530 --> 01:35:42,870
go and talk for yes Three hours straight,

2453
01:35:43,110 --> 01:35:46,450
but it's technology business as usual over here

2454
01:35:46,450 --> 01:35:47,970
Let's go over to feed you see most

2455
01:35:47,970 --> 01:35:51,670
posts on the open AI blog She shared

2456
01:35:51,670 --> 01:35:54,450
this message with the company earlier today She

2457
01:35:54,450 --> 01:35:56,610
says I'm excited to share that we've acquired

2458
01:35:56,610 --> 01:35:59,130
TB PN This acquisition brings a team a

2459
01:35:59,130 --> 01:36:02,570
strong editorial instincts deep audience understanding and proven

2460
01:36:02,570 --> 01:36:06,170
ability to convene Influential voices across tech business

2461
01:36:06,170 --> 01:36:07,010
and culture.

2462
01:36:07,170 --> 01:36:09,350
That's I'm still gonna be in the soundboard

2463
01:36:09,930 --> 01:36:15,210
Yeah, you are TVM has built something pretty

2464
01:36:15,210 --> 01:36:17,070
special It's one of the places where the

2465
01:36:17,070 --> 01:36:20,270
conversations about AI and builders is actually happening

2466
01:36:20,270 --> 01:36:21,850
day to day a lot of you already

2467
01:36:21,850 --> 01:36:23,350
watch it And rely on it to stay

2468
01:36:23,350 --> 01:36:25,730
close to what's going on as I've been

2469
01:36:25,730 --> 01:36:27,330
thinking about the future of how we communicate

2470
01:36:27,330 --> 01:36:29,870
in open AI One thing that's become clear.

2471
01:36:30,090 --> 01:36:32,350
Is that the standard communications playbook just doesn't

2472
01:36:32,350 --> 01:36:33,090
apply to us.

2473
01:36:33,110 --> 01:36:35,650
We're not a typical company We're driving a

2474
01:36:35,650 --> 01:36:39,150
really big technology technological shift and the mission

2475
01:36:39,150 --> 01:36:41,730
of bringing And with the mission of bringing

2476
01:36:41,730 --> 01:36:44,690
AGI to the world comes a responsibility to

2477
01:36:44,690 --> 01:36:47,490
help create a space for real Constructive conversation

2478
01:36:47,490 --> 01:36:50,490
about the changes AI creates with builders and

2479
01:36:50,490 --> 01:36:52,730
people using the technology at the center So

2480
01:36:52,730 --> 01:36:56,050
rather than trying to recreate that ourselves It

2481
01:36:56,050 --> 01:36:57,290
made a lot of sense just to bring

2482
01:36:57,290 --> 01:36:59,050
them in Support what they're doing and help

2483
01:36:59,050 --> 01:37:01,670
them scale while keeping what makes them special

2484
01:37:01,670 --> 01:37:04,710
a core part of this is editorial independence

2485
01:37:04,710 --> 01:37:07,030
We can say whatever we want because we're

2486
01:37:07,030 --> 01:37:08,570
live and we don't need to run anything

2487
01:37:08,570 --> 01:37:10,370
through anyone It's not possible.

2488
01:37:10,630 --> 01:37:12,830
It is it would be very difficult to

2489
01:37:12,830 --> 01:37:13,530
have somebody here.

2490
01:37:13,690 --> 01:37:17,870
Okay So they bought open AI bought this

2491
01:37:17,870 --> 01:37:21,810
podcast for as open AI says in the

2492
01:37:21,810 --> 01:37:28,410
low hundreds of millions of dollars And This

2493
01:37:28,410 --> 01:37:31,490
podcast has been around for eight months eight

2494
01:37:31,490 --> 01:37:36,770
months now the podcast is Really?

2495
01:37:37,390 --> 01:37:41,430
It's guys from Peter Thiel It's X Or

2496
01:37:41,430 --> 01:37:44,490
not even X is venture capital guys and

2497
01:37:44,490 --> 01:37:48,590
they have all of the AI Leaders on

2498
01:37:48,590 --> 01:37:50,810
this podcast live every single day.

2499
01:37:50,810 --> 01:37:51,450
It's a complete.

2500
01:37:51,570 --> 01:37:53,350
I'm surprised you've never heard of it It's

2501
01:37:53,350 --> 01:37:56,550
a complete tech bro circle jerk so, you

2502
01:37:56,550 --> 01:38:00,250
know one day Altman's on and then Zuckerberg

2503
01:38:00,250 --> 01:38:02,670
and then they just keep rotating around and

2504
01:38:02,670 --> 01:38:05,290
then the guy from Anthropic and then someone

2505
01:38:05,290 --> 01:38:07,570
from so that it is the place where

2506
01:38:07,570 --> 01:38:10,170
Silicon Valley if it wasn't bad enough how

2507
01:38:10,170 --> 01:38:13,170
they are new circular Financing they're all talking

2508
01:38:13,170 --> 01:38:16,170
to themselves in this circle about oh, it's

2509
01:38:16,170 --> 01:38:17,730
gonna be great and what is the good

2510
01:38:17,730 --> 01:38:19,190
and is the bad and was the danger

2511
01:38:19,190 --> 01:38:21,630
and and the future and all this stuff

2512
01:38:21,630 --> 01:38:25,330
and So this was a very surprising acquisition

2513
01:38:25,330 --> 01:38:26,890
for an AI company.

2514
01:38:26,890 --> 01:38:29,750
It's like what what is the story with

2515
01:38:29,750 --> 01:38:30,110
this?

2516
01:38:31,210 --> 01:38:35,050
So as it turns out Chris Lehane is

2517
01:38:36,270 --> 01:38:40,110
Now the strategist for open AI does this

2518
01:38:40,110 --> 01:38:46,190
name ring any bells Sounds vaguely familiar.

2519
01:38:46,530 --> 01:38:49,870
He was the crisis guy in the Clinton

2520
01:38:49,870 --> 01:38:54,590
administration They he was dubbed the master of

2521
01:38:54,590 --> 01:38:58,570
disaster He does political and crisis management.

2522
01:38:58,570 --> 01:39:01,010
He was press secretary for Al Gore's 2000

2523
01:39:01,010 --> 01:39:05,170
campaign but the big his big thing was

2524
01:39:05,170 --> 01:39:08,530
really Monica Lewinsky, so they they brought the

2525
01:39:08,530 --> 01:39:10,470
Clintons brought him in and he is a

2526
01:39:11,050 --> 01:39:16,110
crisis guy So open AI has him and

2527
01:39:16,110 --> 01:39:20,310
he did some like an online seminar type

2528
01:39:20,310 --> 01:39:25,970
thing 2025 I got three short clips so

2529
01:39:25,970 --> 01:39:28,090
you can kind of hear what his strategy

2530
01:39:28,090 --> 01:39:31,350
is when he's going in To a place

2531
01:39:31,350 --> 01:39:34,070
like the White House or perhaps a company

2532
01:39:34,650 --> 01:39:37,310
To help them if they have crisis and

2533
01:39:37,310 --> 01:39:40,370
they need crisis communications First we've got to

2534
01:39:40,370 --> 01:39:42,730
get to the core audience Who is the

2535
01:39:42,730 --> 01:39:45,350
most important audience that you are speaking to

2536
01:39:45,350 --> 01:39:48,530
that you're disclosing information to because ultimately Those

2537
01:39:48,530 --> 01:39:49,690
people are the ones who are going to

2538
01:39:49,690 --> 01:39:52,210
make a decision up or down and whether

2539
01:39:52,210 --> 01:39:54,470
you're credible and whether ultimately you can be

2540
01:39:54,470 --> 01:39:57,690
Trusted going forward so you need to identify

2541
01:39:57,690 --> 01:39:59,410
exactly who it is Now typically there's a

2542
01:39:59,410 --> 01:40:00,770
series of concentric circles, right?

2543
01:40:00,810 --> 01:40:03,390
There's a bullseye of the most important audience

2544
01:40:03,390 --> 01:40:05,590
or most important audiences and it expands outward

2545
01:40:05,590 --> 01:40:07,770
Doesn't mean you have to be mutually exclusive

2546
01:40:07,770 --> 01:40:10,290
You could talk to all the audiences But

2547
01:40:10,290 --> 01:40:11,730
most importantly you need to make sure you

2548
01:40:11,730 --> 01:40:13,290
were talking to your core audience and build

2549
01:40:13,290 --> 01:40:15,130
out from there So if I'm just going

2550
01:40:15,130 --> 01:40:17,090
to extrapolate this and overlay it on the

2551
01:40:17,090 --> 01:40:22,090
TBPN value tainment podcast acquisition I'd say yeah,

2552
01:40:22,130 --> 01:40:23,730
you want to be talking to your core

2553
01:40:23,730 --> 01:40:25,810
audience, which is people who have invested over

2554
01:40:25,810 --> 01:40:28,270
a trillion trillion a half dollars And are

2555
01:40:28,270 --> 01:40:29,910
wondering when is this thing gonna work?

2556
01:40:29,990 --> 01:40:31,170
When is it gonna do what you told

2557
01:40:31,170 --> 01:40:32,510
me was gonna do We got all this

2558
01:40:32,510 --> 01:40:34,910
money in here So you need to make

2559
01:40:34,910 --> 01:40:37,390
sure that people have the right facts The

2560
01:40:37,390 --> 01:40:39,450
only way you can kill bad facts or

2561
01:40:39,450 --> 01:40:42,230
correct bad facts is with good facts And

2562
01:40:42,230 --> 01:40:44,170
so there is a burden of proof so

2563
01:40:44,170 --> 01:40:46,110
to speak on the person who is in

2564
01:40:46,110 --> 01:40:47,710
a crisis You simply can't say that what's

2565
01:40:47,710 --> 01:40:49,530
been reported is not true or it's only

2566
01:40:49,530 --> 01:40:51,830
half true Or that there's another side of

2567
01:40:51,830 --> 01:40:54,110
a story to actually get your story out

2568
01:40:54,110 --> 01:40:56,650
there to actually convey and communicate effectively in

2569
01:40:56,650 --> 01:40:58,630
an incredible way You either have to be

2570
01:40:58,630 --> 01:41:01,310
able to provide people the specific facts Particularly

2571
01:41:01,310 --> 01:41:03,090
the core facts that they're looking at in

2572
01:41:03,090 --> 01:41:05,650
a particular situation Or you need to be

2573
01:41:05,650 --> 01:41:07,510
able to identify a process that you're going

2574
01:41:07,510 --> 01:41:08,630
to pursue to be able to get to

2575
01:41:08,630 --> 01:41:09,910
those But at the end of the day

2576
01:41:09,910 --> 01:41:12,250
you can't get the small details wrong, right?

2577
01:41:12,290 --> 01:41:14,510
There's been so many situations where someone has

2578
01:41:14,510 --> 01:41:16,090
been in a crisis and they've actually tried

2579
01:41:16,090 --> 01:41:18,450
to do everything right They've disclosed, they've disclosed

2580
01:41:18,450 --> 01:41:19,650
to the core audience that they want to

2581
01:41:19,650 --> 01:41:22,450
talk to But they get a fact wrong,

2582
01:41:22,570 --> 01:41:23,850
they get a fact right, they have something

2583
01:41:23,850 --> 01:41:26,370
off And suddenly that particular thing that they

2584
01:41:26,370 --> 01:41:28,210
missed, that particular detail that they got wrong

2585
01:41:28,210 --> 01:41:30,570
Looms much bigger because people are going to

2586
01:41:30,570 --> 01:41:32,750
have a very cynical and skeptical perspective of

2587
01:41:32,750 --> 01:41:35,290
them And if that detail is wrong, they're

2588
01:41:35,290 --> 01:41:36,690
going to think for some reason you're trying

2589
01:41:36,690 --> 01:41:38,430
to hide it Or for some reason you're

2590
01:41:38,430 --> 01:41:40,150
not trying to communicate it in a truthful

2591
01:41:40,150 --> 01:41:41,970
way So you have to make sure that

2592
01:41:41,970 --> 01:41:43,270
when you're going to put the information out

2593
01:41:43,270 --> 01:41:44,990
You've thought through the questions that you're going

2594
01:41:44,990 --> 01:41:46,750
to get And you either can answer them

2595
01:41:46,750 --> 01:41:48,870
with a level of detail and specificity that

2596
01:41:48,870 --> 01:41:52,110
your core audience expects Or provide a process

2597
01:41:52,110 --> 01:41:54,310
that you will pursue to ultimately get there

2598
01:41:54,310 --> 01:41:55,970
What better way to do that than with

2599
01:41:55,970 --> 01:41:56,490
a podcast?

2600
01:41:56,810 --> 01:41:59,410
Everybody trusts a podcast And when you do

2601
01:41:59,410 --> 01:42:01,970
all this, when you follow his crisis management

2602
01:42:01,970 --> 01:42:03,770
scheme What's the crisis?

2603
01:42:04,070 --> 01:42:06,990
They have a crisis The crisis is nobody

2604
01:42:06,990 --> 01:42:09,070
wants to put any more money in after

2605
01:42:09,070 --> 01:42:11,770
this The secondary market is broken And the

2606
01:42:11,770 --> 01:42:15,370
stuff sucks That's the crisis They are about

2607
01:42:15,370 --> 01:42:17,530
to, they're going to have three IPOs So

2608
01:42:17,530 --> 01:42:21,550
they put together a podcast Just to try

2609
01:42:21,550 --> 01:42:24,410
to buffalo everybody that nobody listens to I

2610
01:42:24,410 --> 01:42:25,910
never heard of it No, the only people

2611
01:42:25,910 --> 01:42:27,990
who listen to it are Silicon Valley people

2612
01:42:27,990 --> 01:42:32,230
The only people who matter The VCs That's

2613
01:42:32,230 --> 01:42:35,610
what it's about The crisis is...

2614
01:42:35,610 --> 01:42:36,130
Now I have to...

2615
01:42:36,130 --> 01:42:37,450
You're going to have to listen to it

2616
01:42:37,450 --> 01:42:40,090
Yeah, and here's the final one Crises, there

2617
01:42:40,090 --> 01:42:44,150
is a natural human tendency to not communicate

2618
01:42:44,150 --> 01:42:47,550
as forcefully and as effectively As you need

2619
01:42:47,550 --> 01:42:49,830
to When in fact in a crisis, you

2620
01:42:49,830 --> 01:42:51,510
want to err on the side of almost

2621
01:42:51,510 --> 01:42:56,950
over communicating To begin with, there is so

2622
01:42:56,950 --> 01:43:00,430
much noise and information out there That enable

2623
01:43:00,430 --> 01:43:02,610
to break through with your message To resonate

2624
01:43:02,610 --> 01:43:04,810
with your core audience To give the information

2625
01:43:04,810 --> 01:43:06,790
that people are looking for You need to

2626
01:43:06,790 --> 01:43:08,350
do it loudly You need to do it

2627
01:43:08,350 --> 01:43:11,250
consistently You need to do it repetitively And

2628
01:43:11,250 --> 01:43:12,150
you need to do it in a way

2629
01:43:12,150 --> 01:43:14,150
that ultimately does resonate with them So that

2630
01:43:14,150 --> 01:43:15,830
they are hearing it So when you're in

2631
01:43:15,830 --> 01:43:17,650
a crisis, it's not good enough just to

2632
01:43:17,650 --> 01:43:19,590
put out the information Sometimes it's not good

2633
01:43:19,590 --> 01:43:21,090
enough just to put out the information You

2634
01:43:21,090 --> 01:43:22,630
have to do it any number of times

2635
01:43:22,630 --> 01:43:24,710
And you have to be able to determine

2636
01:43:24,710 --> 01:43:26,910
Is your core audience hearing this, right?

2637
01:43:27,130 --> 01:43:28,330
Because you could be fully disclosed You could

2638
01:43:28,330 --> 01:43:30,210
be doing everything right Desperation But if they

2639
01:43:30,210 --> 01:43:32,810
don't hear it You're not actually accomplishing what

2640
01:43:32,810 --> 01:43:35,090
your strategy is designed to accomplish Yes, it's

2641
01:43:35,090 --> 01:43:37,330
desperate That's why they hired him Just like

2642
01:43:37,330 --> 01:43:41,770
he was hired by California Edison during the

2643
01:43:41,770 --> 01:43:45,130
California energy crisis Goldman Sachs during the financial

2644
01:43:45,130 --> 01:43:48,750
crisis Cisco when the bubble burst Lance Armstrong,

2645
01:43:49,090 --> 01:43:52,450
he had a couple of crises Al Gore's

2646
01:43:52,450 --> 01:43:55,790
Current TV when it fired Keith Olbermann Madonna

2647
01:43:55,790 --> 01:43:58,130
when she had that whole Kabbalah Center and

2648
01:43:58,130 --> 01:44:01,010
everyone hated her Rob Reiner and the first

2649
01:44:01,010 --> 01:44:04,570
five Hollywood studios This guy has been...

2650
01:44:04,570 --> 01:44:07,350
This is what he does He was brought

2651
01:44:07,350 --> 01:44:10,290
in because they see a crisis And the

2652
01:44:10,290 --> 01:44:13,370
crisis is it's not working out the way

2653
01:44:13,370 --> 01:44:17,430
they want it to Of course not Right,

2654
01:44:17,570 --> 01:44:18,370
so that's why you...

2655
01:44:18,370 --> 01:44:19,530
And you buy it I don't...

2656
01:44:19,530 --> 01:44:21,530
I also have a hard time believing the

2657
01:44:21,530 --> 01:44:23,850
low hundreds of millions of dollars No, this

2658
01:44:23,850 --> 01:44:24,110
is...

2659
01:44:24,110 --> 01:44:26,090
We talked about this before But that's your

2660
01:44:26,090 --> 01:44:27,970
noise You throw the number out there to

2661
01:44:27,970 --> 01:44:30,710
make everything look catchy Yeah, you make some

2662
01:44:30,710 --> 01:44:33,150
noise, exactly Yeah Yeah, you make some noise

2663
01:44:33,970 --> 01:44:36,930
I think it's great Props to Dave Jones

2664
01:44:36,930 --> 01:44:39,370
He's the one that found the clips from

2665
01:44:39,370 --> 01:44:45,210
that guy Yeah, nails it So yeah, no

2666
01:44:45,210 --> 01:44:46,930
one wants to buy those shares on the

2667
01:44:46,930 --> 01:44:50,530
secondary market anymore Everyone wants to get out

2668
01:44:50,530 --> 01:44:52,850
Go public Sam, quick So we could get

2669
01:44:52,850 --> 01:44:54,190
out of this Get us out of here

2670
01:44:54,190 --> 01:44:56,110
Get us out quick And then you've got...

2671
01:44:57,370 --> 01:45:04,390
So Benioff, Salesforce Benioff is...

2672
01:45:04,390 --> 01:45:06,390
You know, he had a whole Salesforce day

2673
01:45:06,390 --> 01:45:09,990
Like a carnival And with clowns and Ferris

2674
01:45:09,990 --> 01:45:11,630
wheels for his customers Yeah, he likes...

2675
01:45:11,630 --> 01:45:14,350
He's a showman He's a showman And so...

2676
01:45:14,350 --> 01:45:16,850
And he invites Kramer to come out and

2677
01:45:16,850 --> 01:45:18,530
do the show live I love Jim Kramer

2678
01:45:18,530 --> 01:45:21,950
He invites Kramer out Everything's fine You just

2679
01:45:21,950 --> 01:45:24,650
don't understand AI core, okay?

2680
01:45:24,870 --> 01:45:26,670
Everything's going to be fine Look, some people

2681
01:45:26,670 --> 01:45:27,390
said to me, you know what?

2682
01:45:27,390 --> 01:45:31,050
He ought to just create agent force Separate

2683
01:45:31,050 --> 01:45:32,310
that from the rest of the company Make

2684
01:45:32,310 --> 01:45:33,890
two companies And two companies would be worth

2685
01:45:33,890 --> 01:45:40,010
more Absurd It's complete lunacy People don't understand

2686
01:45:40,010 --> 01:45:43,210
that agent force is part and parcel Salesforce

2687
01:45:43,210 --> 01:45:45,250
It is the core of every product we

2688
01:45:45,250 --> 01:45:47,410
make now It is the platform A year

2689
01:45:47,410 --> 01:45:48,850
ago, it was a product that we were

2690
01:45:48,850 --> 01:45:51,350
like showing Here we're in this formative stage

2691
01:45:51,350 --> 01:45:54,950
Today we have tens of thousands of deployments

2692
01:45:54,950 --> 01:45:57,550
And those customers are all ready to get

2693
01:45:57,550 --> 01:46:00,630
to another level of execution And we're also

2694
01:46:00,630 --> 01:46:02,770
introducing all kinds of exciting new products Michael

2695
01:46:02,770 --> 01:46:05,570
Dell is using new agent force supply chain

2696
01:46:05,570 --> 01:46:09,530
Agent force 20,000 suppliers already on it

2697
01:46:09,530 --> 01:46:12,830
And we're working with those suppliers That's amazing

2698
01:46:12,830 --> 01:46:15,730
All through this agentic platform That's a big

2699
01:46:15,730 --> 01:46:17,950
breakthrough Now, so I just want to put

2700
01:46:17,950 --> 01:46:22,850
a stake in this AI eating software argument

2701
01:46:22,850 --> 01:46:26,510
You know AI, you know software Is AI

2702
01:46:26,510 --> 01:46:27,850
crunching software?

2703
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:29,370
Is that the end of software?

2704
01:46:29,470 --> 01:46:30,690
Do you know with the software as a

2705
01:46:30,690 --> 01:46:31,390
service model?

2706
01:46:31,390 --> 01:46:33,610
Is it over like some say?

2707
01:46:33,770 --> 01:46:36,170
Or am I watching someone who's making billions

2708
01:46:36,170 --> 01:46:36,830
using it?

2709
01:46:37,390 --> 01:46:39,550
There's this kind of crazy narrative That these

2710
01:46:39,550 --> 01:46:42,870
analysts are trying to help right-size this

2711
01:46:42,870 --> 01:46:45,230
To help people understand That's why I'm so

2712
01:46:45,230 --> 01:46:47,070
grateful that you're here by the way I'm

2713
01:46:47,070 --> 01:46:48,930
so grateful you're here to save me Because

2714
01:46:48,930 --> 01:46:50,630
everyone's saying that I'm gonna go out of

2715
01:46:50,630 --> 01:46:53,490
business Help me Kramer Workday, it's you That's

2716
01:46:53,490 --> 01:46:55,930
why you have to be here That's why

2717
01:46:55,930 --> 01:46:57,730
these people have to be That's why I'm

2718
01:46:57,730 --> 01:47:00,990
here That's why I'm here You have to

2719
01:47:00,990 --> 01:47:03,970
see this to understand That this software is

2720
01:47:03,970 --> 01:47:06,690
transforming itself That you can do things You

2721
01:47:06,690 --> 01:47:09,430
can now You know the first time I

2722
01:47:09,430 --> 01:47:11,670
ever used the word was agent And agentic

2723
01:47:11,670 --> 01:47:13,450
was on your show I know Now that

2724
01:47:13,450 --> 01:47:15,250
was still only a little over a year

2725
01:47:15,250 --> 01:47:16,590
ago They were like I was trying to

2726
01:47:16,590 --> 01:47:18,730
sign up It was only a little over

2727
01:47:18,730 --> 01:47:20,790
a year ago All I heard was this

2728
01:47:20,790 --> 01:47:23,550
software can do things It can do stuff

2729
01:47:27,530 --> 01:47:30,430
Ah it's glorious Sounds like the two of

2730
01:47:30,430 --> 01:47:33,710
them should blow each other And then the

2731
01:47:33,710 --> 01:47:37,910
CEO of Anthropic I'm still trying to figure

2732
01:47:37,910 --> 01:47:39,390
it out I have a feeling those guys

2733
01:47:39,390 --> 01:47:44,650
might be some of those I forget the

2734
01:47:44,650 --> 01:47:48,030
name every single time Altruists The effect of

2735
01:47:48,030 --> 01:47:50,590
altruism I think they're part of that gang

2736
01:47:50,590 --> 01:47:54,510
No Yes That's the creepiest group there is

2737
01:47:54,510 --> 01:47:56,670
I have a feeling Well maybe or an

2738
01:47:56,670 --> 01:47:58,910
offshoot of it You know they're like Oh

2739
01:47:58,910 --> 01:48:00,590
we don't want to use it for autonomous

2740
01:48:00,590 --> 01:48:04,670
weapons And all this stuff And you know

2741
01:48:04,670 --> 01:48:07,430
Well they are the ones who backed off

2742
01:48:07,430 --> 01:48:09,970
on signing an agreement With the Department of

2743
01:48:09,970 --> 01:48:12,490
War or somebody Yes But here he is

2744
01:48:12,490 --> 01:48:18,070
on CNN with Anderson Pooper And you know

2745
01:48:18,070 --> 01:48:21,250
his big statement at the Anthropic Day Which

2746
01:48:21,250 --> 01:48:27,830
we had the clip of Wang Andrew Wang

2747
01:48:27,830 --> 01:48:29,570
Like oh this is it Everyone's going to

2748
01:48:29,570 --> 01:48:32,950
be unemployed So well everyone's going to die

2749
01:48:32,950 --> 01:48:36,770
Oh you be getting ready He's kind of

2750
01:48:36,770 --> 01:48:39,510
walking a lot of that back A well

2751
01:48:39,510 --> 01:48:41,950
-known and respected tech CEO Dario Almeida Is

2752
01:48:41,950 --> 01:48:43,030
he well-known and respected?

2753
01:48:43,470 --> 01:48:45,830
Can you confirm he's well-known and respected?

2754
01:48:46,350 --> 01:48:50,170
Well I don't know him Is he respected?

2755
01:48:50,750 --> 01:48:52,350
I don't know Has he been around?

2756
01:48:52,350 --> 01:48:53,430
Did he run IBM?

2757
01:48:54,070 --> 01:48:55,930
No I don't think so And you really

2758
01:48:55,930 --> 01:48:58,130
looked into him It's a cutting edge AI

2759
01:48:58,130 --> 01:49:01,070
company called Anthropic Is raising alarms tonight about

2760
01:49:01,070 --> 01:49:04,090
AI's potential impact On employment that could soon

2761
01:49:04,090 --> 01:49:06,510
be felt Well he says AI can lead

2762
01:49:06,510 --> 01:49:09,290
to incredible advancements Like medical breakthroughs and boost

2763
01:49:09,290 --> 01:49:11,230
the economy He believes it could also lead

2764
01:49:11,230 --> 01:49:13,670
to half of entry-level White-collar jobs

2765
01:49:13,670 --> 01:49:16,690
disappearing And 10 to 20 percent unemployment In

2766
01:49:16,690 --> 01:49:18,890
the next one to five years It's something

2767
01:49:18,890 --> 01:49:20,690
that's been talked about Within tech circles for

2768
01:49:20,690 --> 01:49:22,810
a while But rarely so starkly and so

2769
01:49:22,810 --> 01:49:25,050
publicly I spoke to him just before air

2770
01:49:25,050 --> 01:49:27,110
about that And other implications he thinks AI

2771
01:49:27,110 --> 01:49:29,790
may have on society Dario you've said that

2772
01:49:29,790 --> 01:49:32,670
AI could wipe out Half of all entry

2773
01:49:32,670 --> 01:49:36,070
-level white-collar jobs And spike unemployment to

2774
01:49:36,070 --> 01:49:39,870
10 to 20 percent How soon might that

2775
01:49:39,870 --> 01:49:40,270
happen?

2776
01:49:40,470 --> 01:49:42,430
Well let's uh uh uh So first of

2777
01:49:42,430 --> 01:49:43,550
all thanks for having me on the show

2778
01:49:43,550 --> 01:49:45,470
But uh uh uh uh uh uh Thanks

2779
01:49:45,470 --> 01:49:46,810
for having me on the show Just to

2780
01:49:46,810 --> 01:49:48,390
back up a little bit you know I've

2781
01:49:48,390 --> 01:49:52,770
been building AI For over a decade And

2782
01:49:52,770 --> 01:49:54,570
I think maybe the most salient feature of

2783
01:49:54,570 --> 01:49:56,610
the technology And what is driving all of

2784
01:49:56,610 --> 01:49:59,210
this Is how fast the technology is getting

2785
01:49:59,210 --> 01:50:01,790
better Um a couple years ago you could

2786
01:50:01,790 --> 01:50:03,770
say that AI models were maybe as good

2787
01:50:03,770 --> 01:50:05,690
as a smart high school student I would

2788
01:50:05,690 --> 01:50:07,050
say that now they're as good as a

2789
01:50:07,050 --> 01:50:09,150
smart college student And and and sort of

2790
01:50:09,150 --> 01:50:12,410
reaching past that I really worry particularly at

2791
01:50:12,410 --> 01:50:14,770
the entry level That the AI models are

2792
01:50:14,770 --> 01:50:17,130
are are you know Very much at the

2793
01:50:17,130 --> 01:50:19,290
center of what What an entry-level human

2794
01:50:19,290 --> 01:50:21,970
worker would do And so it's hard to

2795
01:50:21,970 --> 01:50:24,690
estimate you know Exactly what the impact would

2796
01:50:24,690 --> 01:50:26,610
be And and you know there's always this

2797
01:50:26,610 --> 01:50:29,630
question of adaptation And and you know these

2798
01:50:29,630 --> 01:50:32,070
these technology changes have happened before But I

2799
01:50:32,070 --> 01:50:33,810
think what is striking to me about the

2800
01:50:33,810 --> 01:50:36,950
this this AI boom Is that it's bigger

2801
01:50:36,950 --> 01:50:39,490
and it's broader And it's moving faster than

2802
01:50:39,490 --> 01:50:42,050
anything has before And so compared to previous

2803
01:50:42,050 --> 01:50:44,730
technology changes I'm a little bit more worried

2804
01:50:44,730 --> 01:50:46,950
about the labor impact Simply because it's happening

2805
01:50:46,950 --> 01:50:49,950
so fast That yes people will adapt But

2806
01:50:49,950 --> 01:50:52,490
they they may not adapt fast enough And

2807
01:50:52,490 --> 01:50:54,150
so they're they're you know there may be

2808
01:50:54,150 --> 01:50:56,030
an adjustment That sounds to me like he's

2809
01:50:56,030 --> 01:50:59,250
walking it back Well you know it's because

2810
01:50:59,250 --> 01:51:05,540
it's happening fast To be honest I don't

2811
01:51:05,540 --> 01:51:08,160
even know what he's saying How about this

2812
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:09,980
this is the last one Is he he's

2813
01:51:09,980 --> 01:51:11,600
going to cure cancer Previously in the past

2814
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:13,700
ed you're the future You've described a future

2815
01:51:13,700 --> 01:51:16,300
where cancer is cured The economy grows at

2816
01:51:16,300 --> 01:51:18,260
10% a year The budget is balanced

2817
01:51:18,260 --> 01:51:20,780
And 20% of people don't have jobs

2818
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:25,020
John C.

2819
01:51:25,060 --> 01:51:27,820
Dvorak resident economist How does that sound to

2820
01:51:27,820 --> 01:51:28,160
you?

2821
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,400
Right now 20% don't have a job

2822
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:35,140
Right and people don't have jobs That's that's

2823
01:51:35,140 --> 01:51:36,680
exactly what I was getting to right Where

2824
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,540
I I agree with all the positive potential

2825
01:51:39,540 --> 01:51:41,200
I think that I think that isn't wrong

2826
01:51:41,820 --> 01:51:43,400
But but you know I think I think

2827
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,100
the quote You know the quote you just

2828
01:51:45,100 --> 01:51:48,860
flashed is is maybe too Maybe too uh

2829
01:51:48,860 --> 01:51:53,580
optimistic maybe too sanguine Oh sanguine sanguine sanguine

2830
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:56,000
Qu'est-ce que c'est sanguine?

2831
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:59,360
Yeah what what is sanguine?

2832
01:52:00,740 --> 01:52:04,660
Like uh I think it means like calm

2833
01:52:06,460 --> 01:52:11,680
Maybe too uh optimistic maybe too sanguine About

2834
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:14,220
the ability for people to to to adapt

2835
01:52:14,220 --> 01:52:16,840
You know people have adapted to past technological

2836
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:19,860
changes But I'll say again everyone I've talked

2837
01:52:19,860 --> 01:52:22,760
to has said This technological change looks different

2838
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:26,080
It looks faster It looks harder to adapt

2839
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:29,300
to It's broader The pace of progress keeps

2840
01:52:29,300 --> 01:52:32,200
catching people off guard And and so I

2841
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,620
don't know exactly how fast You know the

2842
01:52:34,620 --> 01:52:37,200
the you know the job concerns I don't

2843
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:38,760
know how fast people are going to adapt

2844
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:42,200
It's possible it'll be it'll it'll it'll it'll

2845
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,120
it'll all be okay But I think that's

2846
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:46,600
um I think that's too sanguine an approach

2847
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:48,400
I think we do need to be raising

2848
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:50,120
the alarm I think we do need to

2849
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:54,000
be concerned about it I think policymakers Sanguine

2850
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:59,020
cheerfully confident optimistic Optimistic Yeah calm It's too

2851
01:52:59,020 --> 01:53:01,440
sanguine It's too sanguine but used it twice

2852
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:05,780
Yeah he likes the word sanguine Sanguine so

2853
01:53:05,780 --> 01:53:08,780
I wouldn't use it once Yeah and for

2854
01:53:08,780 --> 01:53:11,380
good reason We shouldn't be using that word

2855
01:53:12,480 --> 01:53:17,260
Yeah I don't know I don't know What

2856
01:53:17,260 --> 01:53:18,320
is he talking about?

2857
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:23,800
You know we're great We're going public Vote

2858
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:29,480
for me Vote for me But these guys

2859
01:53:29,480 --> 01:53:33,880
Poor guy Altman this guy Moscow None of

2860
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,900
them can talk They never had any media

2861
01:53:36,900 --> 01:53:40,600
training But they've all been in media continuously

2862
01:53:41,100 --> 01:53:43,400
Yeah I know but they just I don't

2863
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,040
know Isn't that part of the job of

2864
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:45,400
a CEO?

2865
01:53:45,440 --> 01:53:46,740
They used to be part of the job

2866
01:53:46,740 --> 01:53:48,380
of a CEO A well-respected He has

2867
01:53:48,380 --> 01:53:51,860
to present well Yes It's called presentation Yes

2868
01:53:51,860 --> 01:53:54,000
You don't see uh what's his name uh

2869
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:57,480
Jensen Wang You know the Nvidia guy stuttering

2870
01:53:57,480 --> 01:53:59,040
when he goes up there in his In

2871
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:01,520
his leather jacket No and he's had media

2872
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,160
training That's how he got the whole leather

2873
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:06,420
jacket deal in the first place It's perfect

2874
01:54:06,420 --> 01:54:11,860
It's perfect Well I don't know I see

2875
01:54:11,860 --> 01:54:14,260
it uh I see it being great for

2876
01:54:14,260 --> 01:54:16,060
people on their own computers And that might

2877
01:54:16,060 --> 01:54:17,780
work and that might be something But all

2878
01:54:17,780 --> 01:54:21,740
this other stuff I'm very skeptical Desktop AI

2879
01:54:21,740 --> 01:54:24,020
This yes from the from the data center

2880
01:54:24,020 --> 01:54:26,320
to the desktop It's like when they came

2881
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:29,080
with desktop publishing Yeah They came with desk

2882
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,720
Yeah the one thing after another became desktop

2883
01:54:32,240 --> 01:54:35,160
Well why this should might as well too

2884
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:37,820
So that's well I think that's where it's

2885
01:54:37,820 --> 01:54:40,200
going What does JC say and he certainly

2886
01:54:40,200 --> 01:54:44,580
has some He has some insight I want

2887
01:54:44,580 --> 01:54:48,120
to see him tonight I don't know I've

2888
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,200
been chatting with him recently Well he should

so we have to make the best of

2938
01:56:46,620 --> 01:56:48,160

all we ask for really It's uh it's

2945
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,180
not too much to ask for And people

2946
01:57:03,180 --> 01:57:04,780

2949
01:57:08,300 --> 01:57:10,940
we have to put someone into the spotlight

2950
01:57:10,940 --> 01:57:13,580
today Who has been providing value to the

2951
01:57:13,580 --> 01:57:16,280
show For well over 15 years Has had

2952
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:20,340
a AI is ruining the internet In a

2953
01:57:20,340 --> 01:57:22,960
number of different ways I'll give you an

2954
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,960
example My friend Dave Jones He runs the

2955
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:29,540
podcast index An open podcast index For anyone

2956
01:57:29,540 --> 01:57:31,420
who has a podcast Anyone who wants to

2957
01:57:31,420 --> 01:57:34,760
develop something So as an API With these

2958
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:38,460
stupid Claude bought lobster crap things That people

2959
01:57:38,460 --> 01:57:40,940
have just willy-nilly installed on their Mac

2960
01:57:40,940 --> 01:57:47,660
minis People have now made podcast generators That

2961
01:57:47,660 --> 01:57:52,180
will spin up 500 podcasts of dreck A

2962
01:57:52,180 --> 01:57:55,960
minute Yes I heard this And start submitting

2963
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:58,800
it to the index And it's killing our

2964
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,220
API You know there's all kinds of stuff

2965
01:58:01,220 --> 01:58:02,000
Can't you bump them?

2966
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:05,060
Yeah but it's a moving target Dave has

2967
01:58:05,060 --> 01:58:07,020
a job by the way He's got a

2968
01:58:07,020 --> 01:58:12,180
day job Yeah but this AI is You

2969
01:58:12,180 --> 01:58:14,880
know everyone's launching bots And all kinds of

2970
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,260
stuff It's getting out of control So you

2971
01:58:17,260 --> 01:58:19,460
can imagine that Sir Paul Couture Has had

2972
01:58:19,460 --> 01:58:24,480
quite a go of it Ever since AI

2973
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:27,880
art came into being And we even saw

2974
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:29,980
it on the last show After the show

2975
01:58:29,980 --> 01:58:32,280
we were looking to choose some art And

2976
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,900
there was like you know 50 copies of

2977
01:58:34,900 --> 01:58:38,080
the same art Had been auto spewed onto

2978
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:41,940
it He's been battling bots He's been battling

2979
01:58:43,700 --> 01:58:47,360
Honestly he's been battling horrible art Like child

2980
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:49,240
porn that people have been trying to upload

2981
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:52,160
So he's become a security guy at the

2982
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:53,900
same time He just used to be It

2983
01:58:53,900 --> 01:58:58,580
stinks It does stink It really stinks And

2984
01:58:58,580 --> 01:59:00,960
then also there's you know The abuse he

2985
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:04,780
takes from artists You know when something doesn't

2986
01:59:04,780 --> 01:59:09,940
work You know how people are Instead of

2987
01:59:09,940 --> 01:59:11,520
thinking wow This is just a guy who's

2988
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,620
doing this In his spare time to help

2989
01:59:13,620 --> 01:59:17,660
the show And people get so Just out

2990
01:59:17,660 --> 01:59:21,220
of whack And out of balance of understanding

2991
01:59:21,220 --> 01:59:26,240
volunteerism So he had to And it was

2992
01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:29,240
eating up resources So he moved the entire

2993
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:35,880
art generator To some CDN Overnight literally And

2994
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:37,640
he has been And he's but he's also

2995
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:39,620
added new features He's done a whole bunch

2996
01:59:39,620 --> 01:59:42,320
of work And I really want to say

2997
01:59:42,320 --> 01:59:44,440
Thank you Sir Paul Couture Thank you for

2998
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:46,660
your courage Thank you for what you've been

2999
01:59:46,660 --> 01:59:49,340
doing With the art generator I'm surprised you

3000
01:59:49,340 --> 01:59:50,880
didn't throw up your hands And say screw

3001
01:59:50,880 --> 01:59:54,200
it And pulled the plug many times John

3002
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:56,460
you and I have talked about it Like

3003
01:59:56,460 --> 01:59:58,520
this guy one day is just gonna freak

3004
01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:02,320
out And I think he did But it

3005
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:06,720
still seems to be here He's a trooper

3006
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:08,580
He is a real trooper He's a good

3007
02:00:08,580 --> 02:00:11,900
guy And so first we want to thank

3008
02:00:11,900 --> 02:00:13,660
Blue Acorn Who brought us the artwork for

3009
02:00:13,660 --> 02:00:17,960
episode 1856 We titled that one Cislunar We're

3010
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:19,560
still not sure what it means But it

3011
02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:22,080
was a fun title And this was really

3012
02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:24,340
the only piece that we liked It had

3013
02:00:24,340 --> 02:00:27,500
everything in there Sad puppy, alien, a donate

3014
02:00:27,500 --> 02:00:31,180
button Had some coffee It had the no

3015
02:00:31,180 --> 02:00:34,560
agenda hat Had flying saucers It had everything

3016
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,340
It had all It sufficed You know it

3017
02:00:37,340 --> 02:00:39,780
had everything we needed So now let's take

3018
02:00:39,780 --> 02:00:43,140
a look at The stuff we didn't pick

3019
02:00:43,700 --> 02:00:48,700
Which was pretty much everything There was nothing

3020
02:00:48,700 --> 02:00:52,840
good Was there anything that we even considered?

3021
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:57,340
I don't think so Uh yeah I was

3022
02:00:57,340 --> 02:01:01,360
very disappointed by Darren What did Darren try

3023
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:01,720
to do?

3024
02:01:01,940 --> 02:01:04,200
He did an olive oil bottle It looks

3025
02:01:04,200 --> 02:01:07,160
nothing like anything Yeah the olive oil bottle

3026
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:09,040
was no good He tried to sneak in

3027
02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:11,480
an overhead projector I did see someone One

3028
02:01:11,480 --> 02:01:13,900
of our producers tweeted a picture of an

3029
02:01:13,900 --> 02:01:17,220
overhead projector He found in his school I

3030
02:01:17,220 --> 02:01:18,800
think I have one in the basement Of

3031
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:23,440
course you do Man the day that you

3032
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:25,480
actually do go It's going to be a

3033
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:27,260
bonanza It's going to be like storage wars

3034
02:01:27,260 --> 02:01:28,860
at your place Can I have the rights?

3035
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:30,760
Can I have the rights to the uh

3036
02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:32,460
To the Dvorak archive?

3037
02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,580
We can auction pieces off That'd be fantastic

3038
02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:37,800
I don't need the money I just want

3039
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:39,940
the production rights Me and Bernetti will fly

3040
02:01:39,940 --> 02:01:47,260
in Bernetti can drive down Okay anyway So

3041
02:01:47,260 --> 02:01:49,740
yeah there was nothing And just looking at

3074
02:03:19,220 --> 02:03:25,970
can already hear Brunetti saying See it's got

3075
02:03:25,970 --> 02:03:30,310
to be Mimi Because she stopped co-hosting

3076
02:03:30,310 --> 02:03:34,990
the show And now Seronimus is back But

3077
02:03:34,990 --> 02:03:37,210
I don't think his theory is correct If

3078
02:03:37,210 --> 02:03:41,130
we read Yeah, well, Brunetti knows better If

3079
02:03:41,130 --> 02:03:44,010
we read Seronimus' notes Hey Mimi, what are

3080
02:03:44,010 --> 02:03:46,270

3090
02:04:09,250 --> 02:04:11,610
No, I'm lucky I catch one once in

3091
02:04:11,610 --> 02:04:14,970
a while This makes no sense Here's his

3092
02:04:14,970 --> 02:04:17,350
notes From Seronimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia

3093
02:04:17,350 --> 02:04:18,750
And by the way, something about the note

3094
02:04:18,750 --> 02:04:21,030
is different Oh, really?

3095
02:04:21,410 --> 02:04:23,550
I think the point size is different He's

3096
02:04:23,550 --> 02:04:27,830
using a different device Well, let's see what

3097
02:04:27,830 --> 02:04:29,530
he says Let's see what he says Thank

3098
02:04:29,530 --> 02:04:31,610
you to all producers, Adam and Mimi For

3099
02:04:31,610 --> 02:04:34,130
keeping the wheels on While John was busy

3100
02:04:34,130 --> 02:04:37,330
on assignment Hmm Sorry for my delay in

3101
02:04:37,330 --> 02:04:40,130
donating Travel around the GCC was a bit

3102
02:04:40,130 --> 02:04:42,310
challenging this month That would be the Gulf

3103
02:04:42,310 --> 02:04:47,210
countries Background noise and flight rescheduling made for

3104
02:04:47,210 --> 02:04:50,310
dynamic scheduling And some meetings moved away from

3105
02:04:50,310 --> 02:04:53,630
windows When the due to current situation A

3106
02:04:53,630 --> 02:04:56,270
potential missile threat Seek immediate shelter in the

3107
02:04:56,270 --> 02:04:58,810
closest secure building And stay away from windows,

3108
02:04:59,010 --> 02:05:02,010
doors and open areas Await further instructions Alert

3109
02:05:02,550 --> 02:05:05,090
Rang on all phones Was he...

3110
02:05:05,090 --> 02:05:09,410
That's in Israel Couple of observations No one

3111
02:05:09,410 --> 02:05:11,110
seemed to panic I'm sure they have it

3112
02:05:11,110 --> 02:05:13,350
everywhere Yeah, they do A couple of observations,

3113
02:05:13,490 --> 02:05:15,530
he says This is from the region No

3114
02:05:15,530 --> 02:05:17,950
one seemed to panic With 50% or

3115
02:05:17,950 --> 02:05:20,430
more of the population foreign workers Half South

3116
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:24,270
Asian That's Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi Another 20

3117
02:05:24,270 --> 02:05:27,030
% from Egypt, Yemen and Sudan Having a

3118
02:05:27,030 --> 02:05:29,410
few missiles and drones not fired directly at

3119
02:05:29,410 --> 02:05:32,950
them Wasn't only overly concerning Although everyone was

3120
02:05:32,950 --> 02:05:35,410
aware of the danger A few Americans reacted

3121
02:05:35,410 --> 02:05:37,490
like they might from a tornado warning Since

3122
02:05:37,490 --> 02:05:39,470
the flash wording was similar And even in

3123
02:05:39,470 --> 02:05:41,270
a shelter If it hits you, you're in

3124
02:05:41,270 --> 02:05:44,150
trouble I haven't seen any comments regarding the

3125
02:05:44,150 --> 02:05:46,470
skill And exceptional work done by the various

3126
02:05:46,470 --> 02:05:50,290
GCC military forces At this writing, more than

3127
02:05:50,290 --> 02:05:55,570
1,119 missiles And 3,792 drones Have

3128
02:05:55,570 --> 02:05:58,650
been launched at GCC countries Compared to 300

3129
02:05:58,650 --> 02:06:03,270
missiles and 550 drones against Israel Coordination with

3130
02:06:03,270 --> 02:06:06,170
U.S. forces is exceptional And while regrettably

3131
02:06:06,170 --> 02:06:08,930
some martyrs have died defending their country The

3132
02:06:08,930 --> 02:06:11,270
training and skill required to protect their countries

3133
02:06:11,270 --> 02:06:13,970
From what was an unexpected and sophisticated series

3134
02:06:13,970 --> 02:06:17,030
of attacks Must be commended I expect the

3135
02:06:17,030 --> 02:06:19,370
Arabs will have very long memories of this

3136
02:06:19,370 --> 02:06:23,030
Finally, did Besant have the treasury place a

3137
02:06:23,030 --> 02:06:25,530
bet on polymarket For U.S. first strike

3138
02:06:25,530 --> 02:06:26,770
to pay for this adventure?

3139
02:06:27,950 --> 02:06:31,850
No jingles, no karma Well, you know Why

3140
02:06:31,850 --> 02:06:32,210
not?

3141
02:06:32,930 --> 02:06:35,190
He is a finance guy after all He

3142
02:06:35,190 --> 02:06:37,090
does come from the world of sorrow So

3143
02:06:37,090 --> 02:06:40,090

adios, mofos A-hooey, hooey And such The

3596
02:30:25,780 --> 02:30:28,200
suction's gone limp and the inbox is rotting

3597
02:30:28,200 --> 02:30:30,540
While Houston sits back and does nothing but

3598
02:30:30,540 --> 02:30:32,740
twatting I'm elbow deep in a lunar-grade

3599
02:30:32,740 --> 02:30:35,980
shitstorm While Outlook keeps asking to repair and

3600
02:30:35,980 --> 02:30:38,380
perform The valve is jammed shut and the

3601
02:30:38,380 --> 02:30:40,400
server is fucked Every bit of this mission

3602
02:30:40,400 --> 02:30:43,500
has officially sucked I'd flush the whole crew

3603
02:30:43,500 --> 02:30:45,640
if the handle would move But I'm trapped

3604
02:30:45,640 --> 02:30:47,960
in a glitch with nothing to prove It's

3605
02:30:47,960 --> 02:30:50,720
a zero-g nightmare Uploading debris in a

3606
02:30:50,720 --> 02:30:52,980
blue screen Of death staring back at me

3607
02:30:52,980 --> 02:30:55,560
The waste tank is screaming The email is

3608
02:30:55,560 --> 02:30:58,260
dead I'm losing my mind and I'm seeing

3609
02:30:58,260 --> 02:31:04,520
red Microsoft's garbage And NASA's cheap plumbing Are

3610
02:31:04,520 --> 02:31:07,900
the only two things that I didn't see

3611
02:31:07,900 --> 02:31:17,040
coming Burn it all down Delete the account

3612
02:31:21,180 --> 02:31:23,540
Brush the void I've been having this recurring

3613
02:31:23,540 --> 02:31:26,720
dream And I'm starting to think it may

3614
02:31:26,720 --> 02:31:30,620
have something To do with the best podcast

3615
02:31:30,620 --> 02:31:36,940
in the universe It goes something like this

3616
02:31:36,940 --> 02:31:38,700
Since the pandemic I've been down on my

3617
02:31:38,700 --> 02:31:41,420
luck And financially strapped So I started directing

3618
02:31:41,420 --> 02:31:44,260
gay porn movies out of my house Unbeknownst

3619
02:31:44,260 --> 02:31:48,320
to my wife While she's at work I'm

3620
02:31:48,320 --> 02:31:51,220
working with my associate executive producer Dana Brometti

3621
02:31:51,220 --> 02:31:53,040
And our biggest star, Eli the coffee guy

3622
02:31:53,040 --> 02:31:55,180
We are discussing the next scene Which involves

3623
02:31:55,180 --> 02:31:57,720
Little John's candy beads And a gigawatt coffee

3624
02:31:57,720 --> 02:32:00,300
enema Followed up with good old-fashioned La

3625
02:32:00,300 --> 02:32:04,460
Jolla's salt rub and tug Suddenly the front

3626
02:32:04,460 --> 02:32:06,260
door flies open And my wife Linda Lou,

3627
02:32:06,380 --> 02:32:08,220
Duchess of Jobs And writer of winning resumes

3628
02:32:08,860 --> 02:32:10,800
Unexpectedly comes home And cries out in horror

3629
02:32:10,800 --> 02:32:12,960
Mr. Timothy, what in the world What have

3630
02:32:12,960 --> 02:32:14,020
you been shopping at?

3631
02:32:14,260 --> 02:32:17,000
Bad ideas apply again Then she starts yakking

3632
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:19,820
at me Something about it If I don't

3633
02:32:19,820 --> 02:32:22,680
change my wicked ways Find Jesus And go

3634
02:32:22,680 --> 02:32:25,940
to ImageMakersInc.com That's ImageMakersInc with a K

3635
02:32:25,940 --> 02:32:29,600
She's always repeating herself And there's no doubt

3636
02:32:29,600 --> 02:32:31,420
in her mind That I would end up

3637
02:32:31,420 --> 02:32:34,820
working at Martel Hardware For the rest of

3638
02:32:34,820 --> 02:32:38,540
my life About this time The alarm clock

3639
02:32:38,540 --> 02:32:40,660
goes off And from the radio I hear

3640
02:32:40,660 --> 02:32:42,880
the spooky voice Of a washed-up VJ

3641
02:32:43,560 --> 02:32:46,380
Exclaiming in the morning Followed by his geriatric

3642
02:32:46,380 --> 02:32:48,560
handler Sidekick bitching and moaning For three hours

3643
02:32:48,560 --> 02:32:52,620
about low donations What can all of this

3644
02:32:52,620 --> 02:32:53,280
madness mean?

3645
02:32:54,020 --> 02:32:56,020
When will this sigh up end?

3646
02:32:56,680 --> 02:32:59,280
Four more years is what my conspiracy therapist

3647
02:32:59,280 --> 02:33:01,340
Keeps telling me But he says it may

3648
02:33:01,340 --> 02:33:03,420
