WEBVTT

00:00:05.710 --> 00:00:08.550
I have not heard that music in a while. I've

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:09.970
heard it. I've been up here editing, though.

00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:12.689
Ah, well, that's not the same thing. No. Well,

00:00:12.710 --> 00:00:15.630
I have it on my playlist. Oh, really? I play

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:17.449
it over and over again. That's what he listens

00:00:17.449 --> 00:00:19.429
to on his earbuds at night when he sleeps. Nice.

00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:22.910
It's on repeat. On loop. Nice. I get really excited

00:00:22.910 --> 00:00:24.769
to get myself pumped up for the day. I usually

00:00:24.769 --> 00:00:28.989
play the bourbon song. Hey, whatever works. It

00:00:28.989 --> 00:00:31.449
does work. Because we did not have a podcast

00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:35.890
last week. I forgot. I was in Albuquerque, so

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:41.409
it was my fault. On Tuesday. I know. I was hoping

00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:43.750
we would do it Wednesday or Thursday, but that

00:00:43.750 --> 00:00:45.890
didn't work out. I guess some other things came

00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:48.329
up, but I don't recall. Last week's kind of a

00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:52.149
blur for some reason. Well, you know, Friday

00:00:52.149 --> 00:00:55.969
night we came up here. It was like two Fridays.

00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:58.869
It was two Fridays. We came up here with Chuck's

00:00:58.869 --> 00:01:02.500
friend. I forget his name. Dave. Oh, yeah, with

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:06.219
his kids, right? His son and his girlfriend.

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:09.739
His son showed up. That was kind of cool. All

00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:12.239
right. Well, here we are. Yeah, well, I'm trying

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.140
to get acclimated. If you've got some Android

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:17.019
users out there like myself, I'm trying to. Not

00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:20.019
many, though. Whatever. I'm trying to learn.

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.500
I don't want an Android. I'm sorry, an iPhone

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:24.840
right now, but I figured I'd try to start the

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.290
process a little bit. You're willing to transition

00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.890
to the Apple world? I'm not necessarily saying

00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:33.409
that. What I'm saying is that I want to get used

00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:37.510
to using the iStuff. So I got an iPad for both

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:42.269
work and for the podcast. It is different, isn't

00:01:42.269 --> 00:01:44.870
it? It is. It's a little quirky. I'm getting

00:01:44.870 --> 00:01:47.290
used to it. And as you guys can see, I don't

00:01:47.290 --> 00:01:50.549
have my laptop here. I see that. So I'm dependent

00:01:50.549 --> 00:01:55.290
on this. I've been using a program for work.

00:01:55.659 --> 00:01:58.599
on here for notes writing and for little things

00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:00.799
like that. And I made a special one just for

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.280
the dudes like us. Very nice. I could write on

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.500
it. It's totally gay. I freaking love it. It's

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.979
me. So hopefully it'll work. I'm looking forward

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:13.120
to using it because during the week, you know,

00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:15.639
we try to always figure out what kind of topics

00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.780
we're going to talk about. And I'm getting to

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.000
the point where I'm just sending them as an email

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.159
to myself. And then I just copy and paste the

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.610
email straight into here. So I'm totally fagging

00:02:24.610 --> 00:02:25.789
out. I love this, man. It's going to be a good

00:02:25.789 --> 00:02:27.830
deal. Hopefully it'll work out. Yeah. Anyways,

00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:30.050
technology, that could be a topic that we're

00:02:30.050 --> 00:02:31.810
going to be discussing tonight. Technology with

00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:36.629
maybe some AI chat. Ooh. We did miss last week,

00:02:36.650 --> 00:02:40.590
so we did not discuss Trump's, what speech was

00:02:40.590 --> 00:02:43.469
that? That was a joint, they didn't call it State

00:02:43.469 --> 00:02:45.430
of the Union. They called it that, but it's not

00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:49.610
really what it was. It was a joint address to

00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:54.740
Congress. Right. It mirrored what a State of

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:56.740
the Union address is, but it wasn't officially

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:58.960
a State of the Union address. Why was that? I

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.639
don't know. I think it's because it's early,

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.180
perhaps? Yeah. What's that, Chuck? That is correct.

00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:08.020
Yeah, because it was too early, right? Yeah,

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:09.939
because Johnson invited him to speak to both

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:12.139
houses, and he accepted the invitation. So I

00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:14.020
guess they can do that basically at any time.

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:15.580
So when is the State of the Union typically?

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.620
At the same time, it's usually after a year of

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:24.759
a president's term. Trump's been president previous,

00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:28.919
but this is his first of the new term. So a new

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.840
president doesn't give an initial State of the

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.819
Union? Yes. Okay, I don't know if I've paid that

00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:37.800
close attention. It's semantics. Otherwise, it

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.460
would be what I want the State of the Union to

00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:42.159
be. Correct. I think it would be a, this is what

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.960
we're going to do. This is my agenda. Right.

00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.259
which they just got elected, so hopefully you

00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:50.719
know what they want to do. Well, we've got lots.

00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:52.520
I mean, we talk about a bunch of it. There's

00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.560
a lot of things going on. There's a lot of...

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.460
Great things going on. We're dropping the hammer.

00:03:56.979 --> 00:03:59.199
We're eating crow on a few things because, you

00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.259
know, we're probably a little overzealous with

00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:02.800
some of the doge and we're just kind of like,

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.199
slash, slash, slash. It's like a Kmart blue light

00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:06.719
special, you know, just slash, slash, slash.

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.039
And then we're like, yeah, we probably need to

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.099
dial that back and review what we just hacked,

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.340
you know. It does seem to be a bit chaotic. But,

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.379
hey, let's introduce the podcast and let's jump

00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:18.519
into it. All right. Well, thank you, Mr. Producer,

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:20.959
Mr. Chuck, behind the scenes right now. Dudes,

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.170
I got some Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And

00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:26.089
here we are. All right. Well, let's jump right

00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:28.930
into it. We missed a lot this week. Well, according

00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:32.129
to, well, not according to, but I watched the

00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:36.870
about half an hour, 40 minutes of the Trump address.

00:04:37.689 --> 00:04:41.889
And the Democrats made absolute fools of themselves.

00:04:42.329 --> 00:04:45.290
Yeah, they did. It was embarrassing. And I don't

00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.290
know if they're trying to bait Trump into overreacting

00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:51.170
and lashing out, but at least what I saw, he

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:54.209
did not. And so didn't he open, so I missed the

00:04:54.209 --> 00:04:56.269
very, very beginning, but didn't he open the

00:04:56.269 --> 00:04:58.649
address by saying, I know, I can tell you right

00:04:58.649 --> 00:05:00.889
now, there's nothing I can do or say that's going

00:05:00.889 --> 00:05:03.029
to make you stand up and clap or clap at all?

00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:04.850
He did say that. I don't know exactly when he

00:05:04.850 --> 00:05:06.069
said that. Did he say that right in the beginning,

00:05:06.170 --> 00:05:08.389
Chuck? Do you remember? Because I actually missed

00:05:08.389 --> 00:05:10.449
that. No, it was towards the end. No, no, no,

00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:12.050
it was right off the bat. He went, there's nothing

00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:13.410
I can say. Well, he repeated it then towards

00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:15.670
the end. That will make you stand up or clap,

00:05:15.769 --> 00:05:18.550
and I'll show you. Right. Right. Well, because

00:05:18.550 --> 00:05:20.490
he knew he knew they were going to be jackasses.

00:05:20.569 --> 00:05:23.329
And I mean, but the props, really? The little

00:05:23.329 --> 00:05:27.649
signs that said false lies. Elon Musk sucks.

00:05:27.829 --> 00:05:31.790
I farted. I saw that on somebody's. Really? Oh,

00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:36.589
that would have been good. Oh, yes. Here's the

00:05:36.589 --> 00:05:39.730
danger of holding up signs in any scenario, because

00:05:39.730 --> 00:05:43.970
somebody. Yes. Here's the danger of holding up

00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.790
signs in any video or any still, is that somebody

00:05:46.790 --> 00:05:48.490
can change what it says. Especially when it's

00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:52.209
just like black with generic font on there. So

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:57.769
easy. So easy. What's her name? What's that congresswoman's

00:05:57.769 --> 00:06:00.350
name? Yeah, Jayapal? Yeah, she's holding the

00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:02.949
sign up, and she's just got this nasty look on

00:06:02.949 --> 00:06:06.399
her face that just says, I farted. Yeah. There

00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.680
should have been way more memes about the different

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.040
signs. I'm thankful. Actually, Greg Gutfeld did

00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.220
it. He actually had a bunch of signs made for

00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:18.300
shows. I think he did it two days in a row. I

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:23.529
mean, it was funny, but it kind of... My boyfriends

00:06:23.529 --> 00:06:27.449
are all dead. Good Lord. That's to leave, isn't

00:06:27.449 --> 00:06:30.189
it? Yeah, but she's wearing the terrorist little

00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:34.389
shawl. I know. I mean, that is Hamas shawl. How

00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:36.610
could she get away with that? Okay, well, technically

00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:40.149
it's Palestinian. Right. So there is some existence

00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:42.230
of Palestinian that isn't terrorist, but it's

00:06:42.230 --> 00:06:44.029
hard to differentiate. She's from Palestine.

00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:46.670
Yes. It is hard to differentiate in this world

00:06:46.670 --> 00:06:48.930
right now because, you know, when you talk to

00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:51.769
any Palestinian on TV, they say death to the

00:06:51.769 --> 00:06:54.509
infidel, death to the Jews. So, I mean, you know,

00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:56.930
they all sound like terrorists to me. But, of

00:06:56.930 --> 00:06:58.790
course, that's not true. There are people in

00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:01.589
there. Actually, it's 100 percent true. They

00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:04.269
aren't necessarily all terrorists, but they do

00:07:04.269 --> 00:07:07.550
all hate Jews. I wouldn't say all of them, but.

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.480
You know, there are some out there that are like,

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.879
you know, fuck, man, I just want to go to my

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.500
job and take care of my family and, you know,

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:15.339
and hang out with my friends. And fucking Hamas

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:17.779
is fucking it up for everybody. You know what

00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:20.459
I mean? I guarantee there's a lot of people in

00:07:20.459 --> 00:07:22.879
Gaza that would love for Hamas to be gone. But

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.420
they voted them in, dude. Anyway. You think they

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.279
really voted, though? Did they? That's a good

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.100
point. How much of a vote was it and how accurate

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.620
was that count? That's a good point. They might

00:07:32.620 --> 00:07:35.120
have had no choice at all. They live in total

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.230
oppression, man. They really do. They do. I mean,

00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:40.449
by their own leaders, by their own people. But

00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:44.230
getting back to when Al Green stood up and was

00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:47.569
all defiant. Oh, yeah. And he got tossed. He

00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:51.230
did. From the speech. And I heard some comments

00:07:51.230 --> 00:07:55.870
today that basically he says, they put me in

00:07:55.870 --> 00:07:59.069
the back of the bus. They put me, I had to drink

00:07:59.069 --> 00:08:01.569
from the Black's Only Water Fountain. Oh, yeah.

00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:04.310
He played the race card. And he big time played

00:08:04.310 --> 00:08:07.139
the race card. He's a fool, man. He just is.

00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:09.459
Yeah. And nobody's resonating with what he's

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:13.420
saying. No. He looked like an idiot standing

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:15.519
up there. He did. I don't know what point he

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.399
was trying to make, but I think it was missed.

00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.970
And then he was censured. They all broke into

00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:25.629
song. What exactly did they censure him from?

00:08:26.230 --> 00:08:29.250
Decorum. Yeah, decorum. Bad behavior. So he can't

00:08:29.250 --> 00:08:31.850
join Congress or vote or anything like that.

00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:34.590
He can vote from home. It's more like a nasty

00:08:34.590 --> 00:08:38.230
written letter. Yeah, it's basically you embarrassed

00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:42.490
this institution. How about for censure, when

00:08:42.490 --> 00:08:45.190
you're censured like - Schiff was censured. Yeah,

00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:47.809
but I mean, when you get censured, don't they

00:08:47.809 --> 00:08:51.429
remove you from certain committees? I think they

00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:53.169
strike your comments or something. They can.

00:08:54.029 --> 00:08:56.409
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what

00:08:56.409 --> 00:08:58.950
the rules are. So what does it mean when someone

00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:04.070
is censured in Congress? I don't understand the...

00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:05.990
I mean, it certainly can mean that they are removed,

00:09:06.110 --> 00:09:09.509
but the censure itself doesn't mandate that.

00:09:09.629 --> 00:09:10.750
You know what I mean? It doesn't mean, okay,

00:09:10.809 --> 00:09:12.330
you've been censured, so we have no choice. We're

00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:14.429
removing you from, you know, blah, blah, blah,

00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:17.190
blah, blah. All right, let's see here. It is

00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:19.049
a resolution introduced by a member of Congress

00:09:19.049 --> 00:09:21.450
outlining the reasons for a censure. It's followed

00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:23.909
by debate and a vote. If the resolution passes,

00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:26.250
the censure is officially recorded. But what

00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:28.950
does it do? It says up there, it says it means

00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:31.870
that the body, Congress, has formally expressed

00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.529
its disappointment of a member's conduct. So

00:09:34.529 --> 00:09:36.429
it's just to embarrass them and shame them. It's

00:09:36.429 --> 00:09:38.950
a public reprimand. Basically, it's shame, shame,

00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:45.240
shame. Searcy. Should we give him the Searcy

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:50.960
treatment? Throw some poop at her? Shame. Shame.

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.879
Shame. Yeah, maybe. Whatever. You know what?

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.720
I think a lot of the Democrats out there and

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.080
a lot of the blue dog Democrats out there, they're

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.980
embarrassed about this. Oh, sure. They're making

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:07.629
total... asses in themselves and they're losing

00:10:07.629 --> 00:10:10.129
their freaking minds they have no idea what direction

00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:12.830
to go they have no idea when you when you've

00:10:12.830 --> 00:10:18.330
got people like uh uh oh my god what is the guy

00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:23.149
the glasses he'll fart uh i'm a brain who oh

00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:25.549
my god do you text the rich who's bernie yeah

00:10:25.549 --> 00:10:27.970
bernie sanders jesus christ when you are when

00:10:27.970 --> 00:10:30.070
you are looking at bernie sanders as someone

00:10:30.070 --> 00:10:32.129
that could represent your party because you've

00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:35.110
got nobody else that's sad That's sad. Who else

00:10:35.110 --> 00:10:38.789
can represent them? What is going on with my

00:10:38.789 --> 00:10:42.009
brain? I don't know. Who's the Pennsylvania senator?

00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:44.529
Fetterman. Fetterman? Yeah, Fetterman. Are you

00:10:44.529 --> 00:10:45.809
going through the same thing as John Fetterman?

00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:47.970
Pardon? Are you going through the same thing

00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:50.529
as John Fetterman? I guess so, man. Had a stroke.

00:10:50.570 --> 00:10:55.210
I guess so. I started back on my freaking cholesterol

00:10:55.210 --> 00:10:57.389
medicine. I think it's giving me some brain fog.

00:10:57.629 --> 00:11:01.929
Cholesterol or blood pressure? Both. Both. Maybe

00:11:01.929 --> 00:11:07.370
we could get Prevagen as a sponsor. I took a

00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:09.110
she legit thinking it was going to warm me up

00:11:09.110 --> 00:11:10.590
a little bit. I haven't taken that for a while,

00:11:10.629 --> 00:11:12.450
but it hasn't. I guess I haven't kicked in yet.

00:11:13.049 --> 00:11:14.909
Bernie Sanders, that's his God blessing name.

00:11:15.070 --> 00:11:17.009
You know, they don't know what they're doing.

00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:19.669
No, they're lost. They have no leader. They have

00:11:19.669 --> 00:11:21.750
no direction. They have no plan of attack. Well,

00:11:21.789 --> 00:11:24.190
they're not conveying any message whatsoever,

00:11:24.490 --> 00:11:27.190
except Trump sucks balls. Yes, they're complaining.

00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:31.639
They're just angry. There's kids on the playground

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.299
that are abusing other kids because their parents

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:38.399
beat them. But if this whole thing was a sing

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.460
-off or a dance -off kind of battle, they've

00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:43.639
got us. Oh, they would definitely win. Yeah,

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.259
there's been some hideous... I don't know what

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:47.860
their point in doing this is. I don't know if

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:49.539
they're all just hippies. What was it? Pick your

00:11:49.539 --> 00:11:52.629
leader? No, Pick Your Superhero. Oh, Pick Your

00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:54.870
Superhero. That was bad, too. Yeah, it was all

00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:56.690
the ladies. Oh, it was so bad. They were jumping

00:11:56.690 --> 00:11:59.690
down. It was a video game type thing. Yes. This

00:11:59.690 --> 00:12:04.169
guy from the NIH, or he was with the NIH, former

00:12:04.169 --> 00:12:07.590
director Francis Collins, Frank Collins, broke

00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:24.799
into song, and it sounds horrible. It does sound

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:30.559
like a John Denver song. Ow. What the hell is

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.799
that? Is that a shot? That's not me. Shot rang

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.539
out. He's trying to get everyone to sing, but

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:40.659
no one is. Okay, first off, nobody has any idea

00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:48.399
what he's singing. How embarrassing. Oh, my God.

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.460
He's like, come on, somebody, anybody, please

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:52.259
help me. Everyone in the back, this guy over

00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:54.139
in the bottom left. I look like a fool. Help

00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:57.519
me. Yeah. Who are these broads? Who are these?

00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:04.820
They want to take away our protection. Why are

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:06.960
they wearing masks? Because they're embarrassed.

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:10.980
Come and take it. Come and take it. We are not.

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:15.360
Leave me. You know what? I'm sick of it. I'm

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.340
sick of all this shit. You know? I'm sick of

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:19.399
it. It's silly. It's what they're doing. It's

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.980
just silly. And then you have, what's his name?

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:25.019
Jeffrey's in front of the Capitol building by

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:28.480
himself. Yes. Completely by himself. And it looks

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.779
so awkward. I know he's the highest Democrat

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:35.340
in the House. He has zero charisma. No, none.

00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.899
Zero. And evidently, he was in charge of making

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:40.539
that music video for the Dems. It wasn't the

00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:43.580
music video. It was the... The super rocket or

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:46.039
the superstar or the... I was under the impression

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.860
it was Cory Booker. Cory Booker? Oh, no, it was

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:51.299
Cory Booker. I'm told it wasn't... It was Cory

00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:52.679
Booker. Yeah, he's the one that's kind of coordinating

00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.500
the social media approaches. He's failing. He

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:57.419
needs to... Yeah, they need to fire him immediately.

00:13:57.580 --> 00:13:59.120
I know they're probably not getting paid for

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.519
that, but, I mean, it's ridiculous. It's horrible.

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.679
Well... You know, I don't have a solution for

00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.980
them, except they need to change. They need to

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.700
embrace Trump as much as they hate him. They

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:13.480
need to get off that bandwagon. Yeah, they 100

00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.500
% will. They won't, though. Yep. They're too

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:18.860
dug in at this point. I think you may see some

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:21.559
folks fracture off, because you remember when

00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.980
Obama won and the Republican Party, I don't know

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:27.220
if it was this bad, but then you had the Tea

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:31.600
Party kind of rise up and kind of steer things

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.539
a certain direction. That fizzled out hard, though.

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:37.799
It fizzled out, but it brought Trump along. Yeah,

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.220
I guess it did. I guess it did. And the Democrats

00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:43.100
may do some of the thing, because I think at

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:46.019
some point you're going to have a group of Democrats

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:50.200
go, we need something different. And they'll

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.500
call it something else. It won't be the Tea Party,

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.360
but it'll be something else. It'll gain traction,

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.080
and they'll just kind of hopefully leave that

00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.490
bullshit behind. is what may happen. You know,

00:15:00.529 --> 00:15:02.730
I mean, but what's interesting is I'm torn because

00:15:02.730 --> 00:15:06.210
the more they do this, the better off. Oh, I

00:15:06.210 --> 00:15:08.269
know. I mean, the country is not buying any of

00:15:08.269 --> 00:15:11.929
their drama. Again, I think America is better

00:15:11.929 --> 00:15:14.129
when there are more than one party. I agree.

00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:17.269
So there needs to be a, it's just right now,

00:15:17.289 --> 00:15:20.970
one party is just asinine. Well, one's just asinine.

00:15:20.990 --> 00:15:23.570
Their ideas are ridiculous. I know. They need

00:15:23.570 --> 00:15:25.970
to have, Democrats used to have, you know, it

00:15:25.970 --> 00:15:29.259
wasn't like this. It was, uh they for one thing

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:31.500
they used to negotiate back and forth right right

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:34.919
um now it's anything trump like this like the

00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.059
speech they didn't applaud anything not even

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:39.139
the cancer boy who wants to be the cop right

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:42.419
now right or the parents who've lost the uh the

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:45.480
soldiers and uh the the ladies who were killed

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.259
by the illegal immigrants and stuff like that

00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:50.000
they sat on their hands and scowled they did

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.500
they did how is that going to win over america

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:57.659
it isn't they got they got It just totally destroyed.

00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.220
They got to get over the whole resist. In fact,

00:16:00.299 --> 00:16:02.120
you know, there were some of those little paddle

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.419
signs they had and some of them did say resist.

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:07.279
You know, it was a T -shirt. It was a T -shirt.

00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.759
The lady who left turned her back and said resist

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.919
on the back. You know, they just got to they

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.539
needed a rebranding. You know, I have a friend

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:16.019
that's in Congress. I don't want to mention his

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:17.500
name right now. I mean, we've spoke about him

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:20.440
in the past, but I spoke with him earlier this

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.610
week. And I was asking him, you know, now's the

00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:26.429
perfect time for not necessarily for you to jump

00:16:26.429 --> 00:16:28.690
ship. I mean, you don't need to jump over to

00:16:28.690 --> 00:16:32.789
the Republican side, but you could make a name

00:16:32.789 --> 00:16:35.049
for yourself. Right. You know, you could take

00:16:35.049 --> 00:16:37.730
a stand that this is enough. Yeah. You need to

00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:42.909
be a Democrat. Start forging what the definitions

00:16:42.909 --> 00:16:46.230
of a Democrat are. And don't be bound by toting

00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:48.529
the line right now of the narrative that they're

00:16:48.529 --> 00:16:50.169
pushing. Because it failed. Do your own thing.

00:16:50.389 --> 00:16:52.889
Because it failed. It failed. And look, Fetterman

00:16:52.889 --> 00:16:56.029
started speaking up. He was on The View, and

00:16:56.029 --> 00:16:59.330
he's in the limelight. You know, I made a suggestion.

00:16:59.370 --> 00:17:02.409
I said, look, man, you're in South Texas. Jump

00:17:02.409 --> 00:17:05.289
over to Austin. go to the joe rogan show i'm

00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:08.250
sure he'd love to pick your brain he also explained

00:17:08.250 --> 00:17:12.809
uh regarding the bank accounts in china oh really

00:17:12.809 --> 00:17:15.470
yeah you guys wanted me to share with you what

00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:18.630
he said i do so i was pretty critical of that

00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:21.069
yeah you had mentioned it so i'm going to try

00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:22.970
to paraphrase as much as this is possible but

00:17:22.970 --> 00:17:25.970
long story short he had a law offices across

00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:28.369
the united states and one of them was in new

00:17:28.369 --> 00:17:33.140
york and uh at the base of the building There

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:36.579
was a bank. It was the closest bank to him. And

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:41.440
he opened up a bank account 10 years, 15 years

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.799
before he even ran for Congress. And that was

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.000
the Bank of China. And it was in New York. And

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.480
that's when he opened up his bank. And he says,

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.200
it was just a matter of convenience. I didn't

00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.619
think about it. And that's where it was at. $100

00:17:55.619 --> 00:17:59.410
,000. I didn't even know that China had a bank

00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:03.109
in the U .S. He said it was FDIC accredited.

00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:06.029
I know, but still, it's still a Chinese bank.

00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:08.750
I don't know how that works. I didn't question

00:18:08.750 --> 00:18:12.329
him. Maybe it was something he prepared to say,

00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:16.730
but it seems fair. If he did have an office and

00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:19.490
it was just a matter of convenience. I figured

00:18:19.490 --> 00:18:21.269
there was more to it. Otherwise, it would have

00:18:21.269 --> 00:18:26.009
become something a lot more than it did. Great.

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.099
I think, again, I don't know if it's true or

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:33.980
not, but until proof comes out otherwise, if

00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:36.119
it ever does, then you'd have to believe. Well,

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:38.819
I saw that some group is going after AOC because

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:44.759
she used some taxpayer money for dance lessons

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.259
and something else. I mean, we weren't talking

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:51.680
about like $850. So, I mean, they're obviously

00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.259
like picking on her. Yeah, that's a little bit

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:55.480
over the top. Yeah, they're picking on her. Yeah,

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:57.660
that's kind of like you getting your watch paid

00:18:57.660 --> 00:19:00.980
for, you know? Right. Right. Well, I mean, that

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:04.779
was totally legal. Well, I mean, somebody else

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:07.960
paid for it. Maybe the dance classes were part

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.940
of a program similar to your watch. It's part

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:12.119
of exercise, right? Which the taxpayers paid

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.079
for. Yeah. I don't think so. But anyway. It doesn't

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.119
matter who pays for it. If it's part of a program

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.740
for mental health, physical health. I think it's

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:23.339
the bucket of money that she paid with it for.

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:25.319
Yes, that's what it boiled down to. So was it

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.299
like her voting? It was her campaign money. It

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:30.160
was her campaign funds. Interesting. All right,

00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:30.940
well, that's a little different. Or something

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:33.079
like that. Anyway, but they were pretty critical

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.200
of her response, too. She was like, you know,

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.079
she's always snarky. You know what I mean? She's

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.059
juggy, though. No, no, no, no. Go slow. Go slow.

00:19:42.299 --> 00:19:45.220
Oh, great. Yes. You know, I mean, not to talk.

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.750
She is. I think she's actually kind of. I think

00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:49.990
she's pretty, and she's well -spoken. She's dumb,

00:19:50.049 --> 00:19:51.890
but, I mean, she's well... You know what? She's

00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:54.910
dumb, and she's... She's misinformed. Yeah, she's

00:19:54.910 --> 00:19:58.109
misinformed, because she speaks well, and I don't...

00:19:58.109 --> 00:20:02.269
I mean, she's not dumb, but she says dumb things.

00:20:02.690 --> 00:20:05.750
Yeah, it does seem like it. When Tom Holman kind

00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:07.869
of schooled her in Congress a couple years ago,

00:20:07.930 --> 00:20:10.400
I mean, she just sounded like a fool. And who's

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.259
this other, there's some black lady who's, she's.

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.779
Jasmine Crockett. Crockett. Who's from Dallas,

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.720
by the way. Yeah, she's lost her mind sitting

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.720
there saying, well, you know, it's not illegal

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.180
for them to cross the border on the south, you

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.140
know. No, she said to cross the border illegally.

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:29.019
It's not illegal. Yeah. She literally said that.

00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:31.039
It's not illegal for them to cross the border

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.119
illegally. What a freaking dean back. Yeah, she

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.640
is not, yeah, it's not the sharpest tool in the

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.119
shed, but. She's passionate. You know, you got

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.220
to give her that. Now, hold on. Who does she

00:20:41.220 --> 00:20:43.680
represent? I know she's from Texas. Dallas. She

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.400
literally is the representative from Dallas.

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.680
Yes. I thought it was Houston. Oh, okay. Well,

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.480
there we go. It's not a criminal violation to

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.039
enter the country illegal. It's not a crime.

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:58.680
It sure is. It sure is. It's on the books. Yeah.

00:20:58.859 --> 00:21:00.740
You go through the port of entry. And she's a

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:03.660
lawyer, too. It's 100 % a crime. Again, this

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:06.119
is a failed effort, and I think what they're

00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.539
doing is they're pulling up all these C -string

00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:14.240
congressfolk to step up. and make fools of themselves.

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.720
It's like we need a few patsies to try to take

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.119
a fall. Yeah, let's try to see what kind of things

00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:20.960
we can jump up. Hey, you know what? Sometimes

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.720
there's a diamond in the rough that you don't

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.720
know and maybe something sticks. They're sending

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.619
them to the front lines to get mowed down, huh?

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:29.480
And they did. I think one of the reasons is because

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.680
you have some severely old folks like Pelosi.

00:21:33.059 --> 00:21:36.180
Yeah. She looked. really bad sitting there listening

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:37.980
to that. Didn't she break her hip or have some

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:39.680
kind of hip surgery or something like that? I

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.039
don't know. But she needs... Looked like she

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.319
was shit -faced. She may have been, but... I

00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.440
would be. If I were her, I'd be fucked up in

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.140
there. What are you going to do to me? I'm done

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:52.740
after this. Yeah, I'm a lame duck. There's a

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:57.640
picture. What we're laughing about is they have

00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.920
a video of her in the State of the Union address

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.329
or whatever. Is she crying? And they put a bottle

00:22:03.329 --> 00:22:06.130
of Jack Daniels in front of her. Well, she knows

00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:08.710
she's probably going to go to jail. Oh, my goodness.

00:22:08.829 --> 00:22:11.450
That is funny. Man, I don't know. She's what,

00:22:11.509 --> 00:22:14.529
90? What is she? She's in her 90s, right? No,

00:22:14.549 --> 00:22:16.789
she's not that old. She's like Biden's age, I

00:22:16.789 --> 00:22:21.730
think. So 100 then. Yes. Have we heard anything

00:22:21.730 --> 00:22:24.769
from Biden? He's 84. Since he left? 84 years

00:22:24.769 --> 00:22:28.390
old. Hell no. I've heard nothing. Biden is exit

00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:32.309
stage left. In fact, of that exit, they are now

00:22:32.309 --> 00:22:38.029
pulling up all these pardons. And they're recognizing

00:22:38.029 --> 00:22:41.079
that. With these executive orders that he's putting

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.599
out, they're the auto -sign feature where they're

00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.599
not even authentic signatures. Oh, really? At

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.160
the end of his presidency, he wasn't signing

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.500
anything. He was just hitting a button, or somebody

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:53.299
was. Yeah, that's his sit. Somebody was. So how

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:56.599
does that make it legal? So it's like a DocuSign

00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:58.480
kind of a thing? Correct. They were saying that

00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.559
Jill and two people close to him were basically

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:09.829
in charge in the final four years. Yeah. Seriously,

00:23:10.390 --> 00:23:14.630
this is not good. So are those legal? Well, that's

00:23:14.630 --> 00:23:16.430
the question. So there's two things. Is that

00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:18.849
legal for him to hit DocuSign, or do you need

00:23:18.849 --> 00:23:20.710
something official? Like when Donald Trump signs

00:23:20.710 --> 00:23:23.890
things, he puts his name in build, it's an executive

00:23:23.890 --> 00:23:25.869
order, and he makes a big deal about it. It's

00:23:25.869 --> 00:23:29.150
really weird, his signature. But with Joe Biden,

00:23:29.349 --> 00:23:31.529
it's kind of like, all right, well. X, he just

00:23:31.529 --> 00:23:34.329
puts an X. Well, I mean, it's not just the signature.

00:23:34.410 --> 00:23:36.789
Let's say he did sign it, but let's say he signed

00:23:36.789 --> 00:23:39.890
it. And you have the pardon now. They're thinking

00:23:39.890 --> 00:23:42.769
it's unconstitutional for you to pardon somebody

00:23:42.769 --> 00:23:47.809
that hasn't done a crime. Preemptive pardon is

00:23:47.809 --> 00:23:50.109
what you're talking about. Yeah, exactly. I don't

00:23:50.109 --> 00:23:52.430
know how that's legal, personally. Yeah, so you're

00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:54.190
pardoned from doing anything. So basically you

00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:55.829
can go rob a bank and you're pardoned. Yeah,

00:23:55.890 --> 00:23:58.849
exactly. Oh, by the way, I did this and I just

00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:02.519
snuffed some girl on Epstein's Island. And they

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.039
just found out. But I'm pardoned. Whatever they

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.900
find in your past. How is that legal? I don't

00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:09.700
know. It can't be. And that's the question. That's

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:11.299
what they're trying to bring up. Is Pam Bondi

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:13.920
getting into that? Well, slowly but surely, they're

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.740
starting to pull back the onion layers. And,

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:21.319
you know, slowly but surely, it's like, you know,

00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:25.819
you got these USAID factions of it that basically

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:31.839
just disbanded once cash. Patel got into the

00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:35.119
FBI's position. They just completely disbanded.

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:36.859
It's like, where'd they go? They were here one

00:24:36.859 --> 00:24:41.880
day and now they're gone. Who is this? Some subcommittees

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:46.099
for USAID. You know, they just disappeared. Gone.

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:48.339
Oh, yeah. Everybody's running for the hills.

00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.640
Yeah. And they're shredding and burning everything?

00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:53.910
Yeah. Yep, all the documents, politicals, says

00:24:53.910 --> 00:24:56.190
the official team's remaining staffers are shredding

00:24:56.190 --> 00:24:59.849
and burning these documents. Pam Bondi was requesting

00:24:59.849 --> 00:25:03.109
the Epstein files, and they're dragging their

00:25:03.109 --> 00:25:05.089
feet getting them to the manifest for the planes,

00:25:05.250 --> 00:25:09.430
et cetera. This is crazy, man. I think Trump

00:25:09.430 --> 00:25:12.130
is going after all the lawyers. You know what

00:25:12.130 --> 00:25:14.210
I mean? This could be a little bit of a revenge.

00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:17.589
He said he wasn't going to do that. But the reality

00:25:17.589 --> 00:25:21.720
is he is. He is. He's going after them. But it's

00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.359
a double edged sword. So he is going to form

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:25.099
revenge, but he's also going from because they

00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:27.380
broke the law. Right. You know, they went after

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:29.940
him over bullshit. He's going after the deep

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:33.220
state, you know, entrenched, unelected bureaucrats.

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.539
And they happen to be the ones that, you know,

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:40.119
like the 51 who signed on to the bullshit. letter

00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.079
that said that the Hunter laptop was Russian.

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:47.380
Russian misinformation. It happens to be the

00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:50.579
same people, so it looks like revenge, and I'm

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:54.539
sure there's some revenge in there, but the point

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:57.700
is he's weeding out the people that are unlawful.

00:25:57.859 --> 00:26:00.079
Yeah, it's this whole unelected bureaucracy that

00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.720
needs to be disbanded. Absolutely. New folks

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.720
get in there, and it is greatly pared down. That's

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.099
what they're trying to do, and like you said

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:10.460
earlier, Sean, I think Doge kind of The chainsaw

00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:11.980
came out a little early. I think it needs to

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:13.799
be a little more surgical. They need to dial

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:15.920
that back. It was so chaotic. They don't need

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.640
the propaganda like that. Just let them do their

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.880
jobs, and it doesn't need to be in the spotlight.

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.319
And let them sing Kumbaya and whatever the fuck

00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:28.720
they want. I heard a judge today said that $2

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:35.500
billion that Doge pulled back from USAID, the

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:37.920
judge says, no, you have to give it back to them

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.559
because it's foreign aid. for contracts that

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.680
were already bid on and won. Right. Well, no,

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:46.319
it's not just that. It was not they just won

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:49.099
them, but they completed the jobs. Completed

00:26:49.099 --> 00:26:51.019
too? Yeah, they were completed jobs, and that's

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:52.779
why they want to refund that money back. And

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:54.480
that makes sense. That makes sense. I did the

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.480
work payment kind of a thing. Oh, yeah. No, I

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.160
agree with that. Yeah. About $2 billion. I know.

00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:00.819
Although, you know, that's a drop in the bucket.

00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:04.059
Oh, it is. It is, unfortunately. But yes. I mean,

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:08.730
shit, Stacey Abrams. NGO, on top of NGO, shell

00:27:08.730 --> 00:27:11.109
company type of thing. Like six or seven billion

00:27:11.109 --> 00:27:13.029
dollars. Well, I thought it was two billion,

00:27:13.150 --> 00:27:16.269
but yeah, I mean, it's insane. I think there

00:27:16.269 --> 00:27:18.170
was two of them. One got two and one got like

00:27:18.170 --> 00:27:22.809
six or seven. Right. And yeah. How much of that

00:27:22.809 --> 00:27:24.809
is she funneling away? Right. And they were not

00:27:24.809 --> 00:27:28.609
qualified at all to even get that money. Well,

00:27:28.809 --> 00:27:33.950
that was at the end when they said, just start.

00:27:34.470 --> 00:27:36.789
Passing this money out. Yep. Give it away. Give

00:27:36.789 --> 00:27:38.109
it away. Give it away. Because if you don't,

00:27:38.109 --> 00:27:40.230
you're not going to be able to keep it. Yeah.

00:27:40.609 --> 00:27:41.890
Trump's going to take it away from you. So just

00:27:41.890 --> 00:27:45.309
give it away. Insane. Yeah. All right. Well,

00:27:45.329 --> 00:27:47.490
look, we'll change some gears here. It was $2

00:27:47.490 --> 00:27:50.190
billion. There it is. He's showing it right now.

00:27:51.009 --> 00:27:52.970
And she's like, I had some time on my hands,

00:27:53.029 --> 00:27:55.670
so I started an NGO. And the whole premise of

00:27:55.670 --> 00:28:00.950
it was to give lower income people, poverty people,

00:28:01.130 --> 00:28:04.900
green energy appliances, right? I wonder how

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:08.579
many they actually gave out. Crazy. I bet it's

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:13.319
in her pocket. Right? No, it's just a mess. Anyway,

00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:14.940
but one thing I was going to talk about was Newsom.

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.859
Oh, yeah. So Newsom, desperate to get to the

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:22.019
presidency in 2028. And I think he can smell

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:23.880
that he's being dragged down by the Democrat

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.079
Party, right? I think, yeah, I think you're right.

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:29.420
He's trying to distance himself because he's,

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:32.000
as much as I dislike him, he's still a smart

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:35.849
guy. Politically wise, he seems like he could

00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:38.829
play the game. So he sat down with Charlie Kirk.

00:28:39.869 --> 00:28:44.049
I didn't see that. I saw that he did it, but

00:28:44.049 --> 00:28:46.809
I didn't watch it. I saw snippets of it. But

00:28:46.809 --> 00:28:50.109
it makes me ill to think about them two. But

00:28:50.109 --> 00:28:52.869
he learned from Trump sitting down with Rogan

00:28:52.869 --> 00:28:55.369
and other people sitting down with Rogan. He's

00:28:55.369 --> 00:28:58.279
learning the game. And then on top of that, he

00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:01.539
bucked the trend and he said it's not safe for

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:03.319
men to be playing in women's sports. Correct.

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.680
And that made the left lose their shit. It did.

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:09.039
And they're going after him, which is fine. He's

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:12.319
making it. Well, the thing is, if he truly changed

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.819
his mind, great. Right. That's great. Oh, he's

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:18.759
just playing the game. Probably. He's going to

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.440
pick and choose the issues that are popular with

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.390
the American people based on polling. Probably.

00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:23.990
And he's going to adopt them. And he's going

00:29:23.990 --> 00:29:26.650
to flip -flop. Absolutely. But if he's truly

00:29:26.650 --> 00:29:30.309
changed his mind, that's great. But, like you

00:29:30.309 --> 00:29:32.829
said, I think he is just a greasy politician.

00:29:33.309 --> 00:29:36.970
Absolutely. And he's saying what he thinks is

00:29:36.970 --> 00:29:39.509
going to get him elected. Remember also that

00:29:39.509 --> 00:29:41.869
there's a ton of people within the Democrat Party

00:29:41.869 --> 00:29:45.170
that believe what we believe. You know, they're

00:29:45.170 --> 00:29:46.829
moderate, like you were saying earlier, the blue

00:29:46.829 --> 00:29:48.470
-dog Democrats, right? They're afraid to say

00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:50.750
it. Oh, they would get torched by their own party

00:29:50.750 --> 00:29:52.829
if they don't toe the line. Well, he is. Maybe.

00:29:52.890 --> 00:29:54.670
And maybe so. Maybe you're right. Maybe he is

00:29:54.670 --> 00:29:57.269
being honest about how he really feels. But look

00:29:57.269 --> 00:29:59.309
at John Fetterman. I mean, he doesn't give a

00:29:59.309 --> 00:30:01.789
fuck. I love it. I love the way he says, hey,

00:30:01.809 --> 00:30:04.190
man, look, I'm representing my state. Yes. And

00:30:04.190 --> 00:30:07.210
I want my state to win. Yes. And I want to migrate

00:30:07.210 --> 00:30:09.490
over to, look, I'm still a Democrat. I got Democrat

00:30:09.490 --> 00:30:11.950
values. And I'm going to vote Democrat from what

00:30:11.950 --> 00:30:13.769
I see. But some of this stuff is outrageous.

00:30:14.069 --> 00:30:16.170
I'm not jumping on board with that. Yeah. And

00:30:16.170 --> 00:30:18.440
by the way. I just bought some new Adidas shorts.

00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.980
What do you think of these guys? What? What Fetterman

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:24.279
would say, because he wears hoodies and shit.

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:28.539
You know, why wasn't he at the State of the Union

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:30.019
address? Or if he was, why? Because there was

00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:35.180
a dress code. Are you serious? Are you serious?

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.960
I don't know. I mean, this seems reasonable.

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:40.160
I'm laughing because he wasn't there, and if

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.359
he was there, I mean, I would have loved to have

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.529
seen him in a suit. You know what I mean? Just

00:30:44.529 --> 00:30:47.210
to see, oh, hey, okay, he's not in a hoodie for

00:30:47.210 --> 00:30:50.450
once. Oh, I've seen him in suits before. They

00:30:50.450 --> 00:30:51.710
didn't show him at the State of the Union. Yeah,

00:30:51.730 --> 00:30:53.690
he's been in suits. He's just, you know. He looks

00:30:53.690 --> 00:30:56.650
like he's just huge. I know. He's probably uncomfortable.

00:30:56.869 --> 00:30:58.450
He's a large man. That's what he said. He goes,

00:30:58.569 --> 00:31:00.230
you know, I don't know what his region he knows.

00:31:00.329 --> 00:31:03.589
He goes, but he's a big man. He likes to be comfortable.

00:31:03.849 --> 00:31:06.630
It's just inappropriate, though. It is. You can't

00:31:06.630 --> 00:31:08.609
wear hoodies. It's not just extended to John

00:31:08.609 --> 00:31:11.450
Fetterman. It's extended to Ilhan Omar. You know,

00:31:11.490 --> 00:31:13.210
you're not allowed to have head garbs in there

00:31:13.210 --> 00:31:14.970
and anything like that. You can't have hats.

00:31:15.069 --> 00:31:16.650
I mean, that was part of the rules. They're bending

00:31:16.650 --> 00:31:19.289
it for her. But it's also Ilhan Musk. You know,

00:31:19.329 --> 00:31:21.410
he shows up in the Oval Office with his kid.

00:31:21.809 --> 00:31:24.930
I know. T -shirt and a ball cap. I know. I mean,

00:31:24.950 --> 00:31:26.650
you can bring your kid, and look, I don't want

00:31:26.650 --> 00:31:28.410
to disrespect them, but at the same time, dude,

00:31:28.430 --> 00:31:31.230
dress for success. Not to mention Zelensky when

00:31:31.230 --> 00:31:33.750
he showed up in his little garb. Yeah, he's got

00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:36.210
his little pajamas on. Yeah. Well, to be fair,

00:31:36.230 --> 00:31:37.890
Donald Trump brings his kids to work all the

00:31:37.890 --> 00:31:43.230
time. Well, he lives there. He's a grown. Kidding.

00:31:43.230 --> 00:31:46.309
Dude, when I'm at home working, shit, sometimes

00:31:46.309 --> 00:31:49.529
I don't even put on pants. Oh. Wait, are you

00:31:49.529 --> 00:31:53.180
on video? Well, you can't see it. Oh, you're

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:55.279
like Tuber? No, who's the guy? Jeffrey Toobin.

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:58.460
Who's the one that had the top was work and he

00:31:58.460 --> 00:32:00.299
had nothing underneath? Well, Jeffrey Toobin

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:04.599
started to play with himself. Yeah. I know that,

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:08.619
but somebody got all excited. I must have missed

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:10.450
it. Let's talk about it again. It's called tubing

00:32:10.450 --> 00:32:12.690
it. No, no, I'm talking about the guy that had

00:32:12.690 --> 00:32:16.670
like a jacket and a tie, but then there was a

00:32:16.670 --> 00:32:18.869
camera on the side for some reason. Oh, I've

00:32:18.869 --> 00:32:21.190
done that. And he was in briefs. Oh, when I worked

00:32:21.190 --> 00:32:23.690
downstairs and I had like a formal thing with

00:32:23.690 --> 00:32:26.930
the executives and stuff, I'd be, it was funny

00:32:26.930 --> 00:32:29.170
because one time I got called out for it. I was

00:32:29.170 --> 00:32:32.130
on with my team and the vice president that I

00:32:32.130 --> 00:32:33.509
reported to and everything, and I was wearing

00:32:33.509 --> 00:32:35.089
a nice colored, it was just a colored shirt.

00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.779
I had to get up to close the door behind me.

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:40.299
And I was in the wear time. I was wearing my

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:43.140
flannel shirt and pants. So I had to get up and

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:46.220
go close it. And my boss, the VP at the time,

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:48.240
he started laughing. And they all started making

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.140
jokes at me. He was like, nice shirt and pants.

00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.480
Yeah, nice shirt and pants. And then I go, by

00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:56.640
the way, 2024. And he's gone. The same thing

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:58.000
happened to Shelly when she was interviewing

00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.380
for one of her teacher jobs. She had, you know,

00:33:00.420 --> 00:33:01.960
like, yeah, she looked business from the top.

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:03.940
I mean, she obviously has clothes on the bottom.

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.740
But she was having trouble with. The audio. And

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:10.740
so she got up to come get me because, you know,

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:12.799
she needed my help. And I came over there and

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.059
I fixed it and I turned around and I was like,

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.200
did you get up and walk away? I go, you're not.

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:21.940
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. She's like totally panicking.

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:23.920
But I think I don't know if they made any comments

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:25.700
about it. But, yes, it was pretty funny. Oh,

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.220
no, they made the fun out of it. I'm sure they

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:28.940
did. It was good. When she ended up getting hired.

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.259
So I guess it didn't matter. Yeah. But anyway.

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.119
Could be. Right. You know, she doesn't shave.

00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:41.079
We like people like that. Fresh. Cool. All right,

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:44.119
so we were talking about, we mentioned a little

00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.299
bit at the Whiskey Festival. Yeah. So, Jeff,

00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:53.140
for the podcast room, you've got... for those

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:55.140
updates for those folks out there. We've got

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:57.119
some movement, some traction going on with the

00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:59.400
construction over at the Jeff House with the

00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.660
water heater kind of exploding down and everything.

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.960
We've got Operation Fix This Place Up, and so

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.200
they're doing a lot of drywall repairs. Have

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.440
they done painting? It's done. All they left

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.780
is carpet. God bless. So they did all the painting.

00:34:11.900 --> 00:34:14.219
They replaced the floor decking. this morning.

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:16.440
Yeah, the substrate of the floor has been replaced.

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:20.860
That was a saturating kind of sagging down and

00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:23.119
it's kind of, you know, the OSB kind of separates

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.539
after when it goes to water like that. You know,

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:28.360
I got to tell you, so I was out walking the dogs

00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.480
and my neighbor who I got on to the podcast,

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:33.460
I mean, got him turned on to it. He, I was like,

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:34.780
hey, what's going on? He goes, oh, I'm just,

00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.820
I'm actually listening to your latest podcast

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:39.480
right now. And he goes, I'm hearing about Jeff's

00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:43.710
plumbing problem. I was like, sometimes I think

00:34:43.710 --> 00:34:45.250
about the shit we talk about. I'm just like,

00:34:45.369 --> 00:34:46.909
why are we talking about this? Nobody gives a

00:34:46.909 --> 00:34:48.690
shit. And then sure enough, Ben, my neighbor's

00:34:48.690 --> 00:34:50.969
like, oh, yeah, plumbing problem. What's going

00:34:50.969 --> 00:34:52.989
on with that, man? I was like, oh, that's so

00:34:52.989 --> 00:34:55.650
funny. It's kind of exciting because we're getting

00:34:55.650 --> 00:34:58.190
some new carpet in here, and it's going to be

00:34:58.190 --> 00:35:01.849
fresh and good for us. And plus, we're going

00:35:01.849 --> 00:35:04.059
to have to tear down this room. Which is going

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:06.579
to be, you know, it's not difficult to tear down.

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:09.639
Setting up is more of the hassle than tearing

00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:12.260
down. But, you know, it's going to give us an

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:18.059
opportunity to groom, manicure the things. I

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:20.500
mean, whatever. I have some plans. I'll talk

00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:22.920
about it later. You know, some better wire management

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:26.639
that's a little bit more. Easier, less, it would

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.519
be whatever. A little more professional. Just

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.440
easier, yeah, for sure. I'm anticipating when

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.320
we hook it all back up I'll have music in my

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:35.739
left ear. It all worked. And then I'll only hear

00:35:35.739 --> 00:35:38.440
Sean out of my right ear. It's all going to be

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.059
just spectacular when I talk. Well, I think it's

00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:45.719
important to kind of talk about at least what

00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.380
I'm going through right now with the house because

00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:50.400
it's not abnormal. This happens. It does happen.

00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.800
This is the danger of having a water heater between

00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:55.300
your fucking attic. And that's kind of what I

00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:58.960
was driving at because in a perfect world when

00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.119
you think, all right, well, we have four things

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:04.400
to do. We had a water heater. Water dropped out.

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:07.099
It caused damages. Then you got to dry it out.

00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.730
And then there's just... There's so much due

00:36:09.730 --> 00:36:13.530
process that it's a pain in the ass because it

00:36:13.530 --> 00:36:15.650
takes so much time. You're thinking in real time,

00:36:15.809 --> 00:36:17.670
all right, guys, we should have this whole thing

00:36:17.670 --> 00:36:19.690
turned around in two weeks and be done. I mean,

00:36:19.710 --> 00:36:22.030
if you really think about it as a timeline, but

00:36:22.030 --> 00:36:23.630
it's just like you've got to go back and forth

00:36:23.630 --> 00:36:25.429
with the insurance company. Are they covering

00:36:25.429 --> 00:36:28.210
this? Are they not covering this? And then who's

00:36:28.210 --> 00:36:30.530
going to pay for it? Then there's some costs.

00:36:30.690 --> 00:36:32.590
Well, that carpet's no longer available. This

00:36:32.590 --> 00:36:35.650
isn't available. Hey, by the way, that paint's

00:36:35.650 --> 00:36:37.630
not going to match anymore, so what the hell?

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.900
going to do it's kind of like well and then you

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:42.519
know you got to find out how much you're going

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.280
to be given because you know you kind of want

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.639
an upgraded carpet because you know you had a

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:50.599
shitty carpet before and so but it does it cover

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:53.059
it no okay am i willing to go over blah blah

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:55.619
and you're already out the pocket the deductible

00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:57.719
right so it's just like good well then you're

00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:59.679
well then you pick your carpet you think you're

00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:01.679
going to get installed one week they come out

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.400
and say Oh, that whole line was canceled and

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.820
discontinued. We need to pick a new one. It's

00:37:06.820 --> 00:37:08.139
going to work out because it's a better carpet.

00:37:08.739 --> 00:37:11.000
It's a higher density, a higher weight. The point

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.500
is it's a lot of hassle. It is. It's just one

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:15.920
thing after another, and it's just time. The

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.139
house is a wreck until now. Seeing the light

00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:20.840
at the end of the tunnel. Correct. You know,

00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:23.659
just the fact that we came in today and there's,

00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:25.159
I mean, I saw, I looked at the paint. I was like,

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:27.300
that's fucking painted. Those holes are patched.

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:29.840
Beautiful. This is an excellent thing. That would

00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.900
be progress. And when they come in, they waller

00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:35.360
out all the carpet and they put in some new stuff.

00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.199
We'll get a new shine in this room. Are you going

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.570
to get a lime green carpet? Shag. Burnt orange.

00:37:41.989 --> 00:37:46.309
Perfect. Burnt orange with splotches of something.

00:37:47.130 --> 00:37:50.449
Splotches, maybe some gold flecks. Yeah. We're

00:37:50.449 --> 00:37:53.090
talking. We've got to jazz this room up. We could

00:37:53.090 --> 00:37:55.789
take some new promo. I'll be nude with a Burt

00:37:55.789 --> 00:37:58.630
Reynolds on it. You lost me on that last one.

00:37:58.650 --> 00:38:01.949
When he did with his Playgirl spread. We are

00:38:01.949 --> 00:38:03.630
talking about video. I don't know when we're

00:38:03.630 --> 00:38:05.960
going to do it. We got to talk about how we're

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:07.699
going to dress. Just like Fetterman or are we

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:09.940
going to dress like? Oh, no, no. We dress from

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:13.579
the waist up and down below doesn't matter. Neat.

00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:17.380
Nice. Yes. And is there an under the table camera

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:20.260
as part of the? On you, on yours, on your junk.

00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.119
On mine? Just on your junk. This is just staring

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.300
at my junk. This is all kind of splayed and smashed.

00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:29.199
I don't know if we can afford one of those cameras

00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.440
that zoom in that close. What do you mean there,

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:35.110
Sean? What do they call? that an electron microscope.

00:38:35.409 --> 00:38:41.269
Macro. Hubble. Macro. Hubble. Yes. Turn on the

00:38:41.269 --> 00:38:44.170
Hubble. Yes. What is the new Hubble? They replaced

00:38:44.170 --> 00:38:47.829
it with one. Yeah, I think they did. Several

00:38:47.829 --> 00:38:50.030
years ago. Coming out with much, much better

00:38:50.030 --> 00:38:53.329
images now. The James something. Isn't it James?

00:38:53.630 --> 00:38:57.909
Taylor? James Flynn. No, seriously. It's the

00:38:57.909 --> 00:39:00.610
James something. The James Webb. Dude, check

00:39:00.610 --> 00:39:05.769
me out. I get 50 % credit. 50%. Yeah, the James

00:39:05.769 --> 00:39:08.289
Webb telescope launched on December 25th, Christmas

00:39:08.289 --> 00:39:12.809
2021. Do you remember when they did Hubble? They

00:39:12.809 --> 00:39:15.349
put it up there and they screwed up the mirror?

00:39:16.030 --> 00:39:19.090
Oh, yeah. And they had to send another mission

00:39:19.090 --> 00:39:21.769
up there to give it contacts? I don't remember

00:39:21.769 --> 00:39:24.989
that. That's true. Essentially what it was, it

00:39:24.989 --> 00:39:28.550
was a contact. So they sent the astronauts out

00:39:28.550 --> 00:39:32.039
with a lens. to put in between the mirror and

00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:36.500
the camera to make it focus. So one company made

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:39.360
one side of the mirrored lens. Another company

00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:40.820
made the other side of the mirrored lens. And

00:39:40.820 --> 00:39:42.619
then when you see the laboratory, they're all

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:44.300
wearing like the white, like they're doing surgery,

00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:47.000
right? And they're all like, oh, yeah. Anyway,

00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:48.800
they fucked it up somehow. And they didn't test

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.199
it before they sent them up there. You know,

00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.599
somebody messed up. Somebody up there was like,

00:39:52.699 --> 00:39:54.719
hey, Frank, I told you not to over crank it.

00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:56.679
Now it's out of whack. This is a three -time

00:39:56.679 --> 00:40:00.460
zoom. I needed the six -time zoom. How much was

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:03.019
the Hubble telescope? It's probably like 600

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:06.559
million or 800 million. Anyway, yes, they screwed

00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:08.179
it up. And so they're like, what are we going

00:40:08.179 --> 00:40:10.639
to do? They screwed up the mirror, didn't they?

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:12.340
Yes. The initial mirror they put on there? The

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:16.199
grind of the mirror, yes. 16 billion. What? Wow.

00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.340
I wasn't expecting that. Okay, well, that might

00:40:19.340 --> 00:40:21.699
be... Oh, that's adjusted for inflation, but

00:40:21.699 --> 00:40:24.480
still. Well, that might be also them operating

00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:26.500
it, like the whole thing. I don't know if that

00:40:26.500 --> 00:40:28.639
was how much they... Does not include the cost

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:33.099
of the space shuttle. Damn. Okay, well, anyway.

00:40:33.179 --> 00:40:35.139
Whatever, man. Anyway, so when the first pictures

00:40:35.139 --> 00:40:36.860
came back, they were super excited, right? And

00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:39.780
they were all fuzzy. They were. And they were

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:41.579
like, what the hell? What's wrong? And then they

00:40:41.579 --> 00:40:42.920
figured it out. Well, then they figured it out,

00:40:42.980 --> 00:40:44.940
but then you compare those good Hubble ones with

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:47.519
what the web is producing. And it's night and

00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.420
day again when you compare the two next to each

00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:52.099
other. You mean James Webb is amazing? Yeah,

00:40:52.139 --> 00:40:56.860
Hubble versus Webb. I mean, look at that. Technology

00:40:56.860 --> 00:41:00.860
differences, man. We don't know. You know what?

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:02.900
We spend money to try to get shit out there.

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.400
You buy cars. You buy houses. You buy clothes.

00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.139
You figure it out. What works, works. And this

00:41:08.139 --> 00:41:12.559
is amazing. That James Webb one just sees things.

00:41:13.179 --> 00:41:15.920
in focus that's way the hell out there in fact

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:18.719
they they were talking about i'm going to use

00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:21.039
the word aliens but i'm not saying there's aliens

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:25.179
what i'm saying is that they are seeing lights

00:41:25.179 --> 00:41:29.980
constellations way out there and they're insinuating

00:41:29.980 --> 00:41:33.480
that something is moving in front of those constellations

00:41:34.219 --> 00:41:37.400
and then moving back out so that there's something

00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.320
that's blocking it and it's not in a normal rotation.

00:41:40.619 --> 00:41:43.340
So they're insinuating that it could be a spacecraft

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:46.219
or something. Well, there's so many unknowns.

00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:48.800
It could be anything out there. Oh, yeah. Our

00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.380
knowledge is orbits. Maybe there's something

00:41:51.380 --> 00:41:53.039
else out there that is completely different than

00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:55.519
that, that we just haven't come across yet. Because

00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.719
all we know is what we can see and what we can

00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.719
theorize. So far out there, maybe there's something

00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:03.800
we haven't even thought of yet that can move

00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:06.860
around back and forth. A big cloud of plastic

00:42:06.860 --> 00:42:09.920
junk. Man, who knows? I mean, because it's actually

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:12.300
infinity. I mean, we have no idea what the fuck.

00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:15.739
We live in a vacuum. We have no idea. We shouldn't

00:42:15.739 --> 00:42:18.539
even exist. You're so right. I mean, we know

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:21.039
so little about the universe. It's crazy. But

00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:22.559
you know, one thing I thought was interesting

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.059
is you would think that the James Webb telescope,

00:42:25.139 --> 00:42:27.719
seeing as much as they can see, could see some

00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:30.730
details on the moon. Like, they were like. It's

00:42:30.730 --> 00:42:33.630
probably too close. No, they can't. Like, they

00:42:33.630 --> 00:42:35.670
were like. I can't focus that close. They said,

00:42:35.829 --> 00:42:38.250
of the six flags that have been planted on the

00:42:38.250 --> 00:42:40.050
moon, how many, they wanted to know how many

00:42:40.050 --> 00:42:42.250
were still upright. You know what I mean? And

00:42:42.250 --> 00:42:44.369
they were like, well, not even the James Webb's

00:42:44.369 --> 00:42:46.030
telescope can see that. I was like, how is that

00:42:46.030 --> 00:42:48.809
possible? Like, you would think it could. I think.

00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:51.570
It's like you could see the atoms on that flag.

00:42:51.670 --> 00:42:52.969
Right? That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe

00:42:52.969 --> 00:42:57.110
the focal point is so far out. Yeah, and the

00:42:57.110 --> 00:43:00.070
moon is too close. They have big telescopes down

00:43:00.070 --> 00:43:01.289
here. They could probably see it. It's like me

00:43:01.289 --> 00:43:03.610
trying to read my phone with my long -range glasses

00:43:03.610 --> 00:43:05.730
on. There you go. It's all fuzzy and shit. I

00:43:05.730 --> 00:43:09.150
can't read it. Quad focals. Quad focals. Yes.

00:43:09.369 --> 00:43:13.010
Well, maybe that's it. Quad focals? They have

00:43:13.010 --> 00:43:15.150
trifocals. Why can't they make quad focals? They

00:43:15.150 --> 00:43:18.750
can. God. Can you imagine all these little lines?

00:43:18.909 --> 00:43:21.269
I know. You're like, okay, hold on. I want to

00:43:21.269 --> 00:43:23.530
look far, so do I need to look up and left, or

00:43:23.530 --> 00:43:26.400
do I need to look... I want my junk to look bigger

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.260
so you have like a wide lens on the very bottom.

00:43:28.340 --> 00:43:30.280
Like a fisheye? Oh, I would just put a magnifying

00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:35.519
glass on my junk. So on the space thing, there

00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:38.719
was a private company that landed... On the moon.

00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:40.559
I know. Put a lander on the moon. That was a

00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.239
big deal. Didn't it fall over? When did this

00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:44.500
happen? No, it did last time. Did last time.

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.199
This time, it did not fall over. But I haven't

00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:48.480
heard much about it. So what's it doing? Is it

00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.460
just sitting there? That's all they wanted to

00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:52.099
do. That's what I mean. Are they taking core

00:43:52.099 --> 00:43:54.480
samples? Yeah, this thing's loaded with experiments.

00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:57.679
Yeah, I mean, it does all sorts of shit. So two

00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.579
private companies have successfully landed spacecraft

00:43:59.579 --> 00:44:02.900
on the moon as of March 11, 2025. Intuitive Machines,

00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:05.139
which is Houston -based, by the way. Texas, go

00:44:05.139 --> 00:44:08.900
Texas. And number two, Firefly Aerospace, based

00:44:08.900 --> 00:44:11.940
in Texas as well. They landed the Blue Ghost

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:15.239
spacecraft in 2025, blah, blah, blah. I didn't

00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.400
even hear about this one. That's what I'm interested

00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:19.980
in. Oh, that's the first successful soft landing.

00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.760
By a private company. It remaining upright and

00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.340
operational. There we go. Well, it's a hard landing

00:44:24.340 --> 00:44:27.619
where it just slams into the boom. Boom! Explodes

00:44:27.619 --> 00:44:29.199
into a million pieces, and they're like, yeah!

00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.159
We successfully hard landed! Just to be clear,

00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:34.840
the Firefly Aerospace landed on the moon. Correct.

00:44:34.860 --> 00:44:37.760
Yes. And now what? That's a big deal. That's

00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.139
what I said. What's it doing? They hailed it

00:44:40.139 --> 00:44:42.320
as a historic achievement. First commercial lunar

00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:44.739
landing without crashing or tipping over. That

00:44:44.739 --> 00:44:46.940
just tells you how fucking hard it is, man. But

00:44:46.940 --> 00:44:50.519
yeah, I don't know. We did it in the 60s. With

00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:53.099
styrofoam and cups. Well, but this was first

00:44:53.099 --> 00:44:58.079
private. Styrofoam and cups, huh? Yes. Yeah,

00:44:58.099 --> 00:45:00.500
so our lunar lander was like one big solo cup.

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:02.719
Well, you watch Apollo 13 where it was just dumped

00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:05.320
out of boxes. This is what they have. Figure

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:06.840
it out. Okay, well, that's a little different.

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:08.840
They were like trying to figure out how to fix

00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.000
the filter system, filtration system. Not landing

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:15.059
a solo cup on the moon. I just asked AI Overview

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:17.280
about, you know, what is the Firefly doing on

00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.500
the moon? It says, Firefly's Blue Ghost Lunar

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:22.519
Lander deployed by Firefly Aerospace on March

00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.219
2nd, 2025 is conducting a 60 -day mission on

00:45:25.219 --> 00:45:29.079
the moon's surface collecting data on lunar regolith,

00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:33.719
regolith? Regolith. Regolith geophysical characteristics

00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:37.960
and... interactions with the solar winds. Which

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:41.340
we go live. While also studying lunar horizon

00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:44.639
glow. Is it trying to find out if the moon is

00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:48.940
hollow? You know... Asshole. You know... Maybe

00:45:48.940 --> 00:45:50.219
the reason why they're - Oh, my God, it's ringing.

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:53.659
Look, this is conspiracy here, but maybe the

00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:55.699
reason why they're not looking for those flags,

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.239
oh, I can't see the flag, is because maybe the

00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.079
flags aren't there. They have telescopes down

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:01.840
here that you can see the flags. Some liberal

00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:03.760
went around picking them all up. Are you sure?

00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:06.260
I haven't seen any. I haven't seen pictures of

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:08.000
it. Do you have a telescope? Oh, you're saying

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.599
- No, okay. If you have a telescope and you can

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:14.360
see the flags, why aren't there photos available

00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:16.900
through those telescopes? I haven't seen any.

00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:23.559
Mr. Producer? Really? To the mat. Really? What,

00:46:23.619 --> 00:46:25.960
what, what, what? Have you seen them? You're

00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:27.920
suggesting we've never been to the moon. No,

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.119
I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:33.039
there's not solid outside of them saying it.

00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.460
I mean, even you guys just admitted that they

00:46:37.460 --> 00:46:40.280
were a bunch of styrofoam paper cups and stuff.

00:46:40.579 --> 00:46:42.880
Don't say you guys. He said the solo cup on the

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:44.940
moon thing. I believe it was a very sophisticated

00:46:44.940 --> 00:46:47.159
craft that built by very, very smart people.

00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:49.539
And that's why I think they landed on the moon.

00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.679
Did they have red solo cups back then? Red solo

00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.789
cup. I fill you up. Let's have a party. And you

00:46:59.789 --> 00:47:01.989
have Neil Armstrong getting angry for people

00:47:01.989 --> 00:47:03.690
calling him out to the point where he's punching

00:47:03.690 --> 00:47:05.710
them. I mean, if it really happened, why is he

00:47:05.710 --> 00:47:07.309
getting all bent out of shape? Because he's tired

00:47:07.309 --> 00:47:10.369
of people calling him a fraud. He was like, fuck

00:47:10.369 --> 00:47:12.909
you, bitch. One step for mankind. I'm waiting

00:47:12.909 --> 00:47:15.630
for a picture of the moon from Earth. One giant

00:47:15.630 --> 00:47:21.010
leap for mankind. Someone says they are no longer

00:47:21.010 --> 00:47:23.329
intact as rectal flags exposed to unfiltered

00:47:23.329 --> 00:47:26.869
solar radiation for 50 years. There we go. Oh,

00:47:26.909 --> 00:47:30.820
what? A load of bullshit. No, it's the same shit

00:47:30.820 --> 00:47:32.559
that makes our cars all fade in the paint. Yeah,

00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:35.099
you don't believe that? Come on, dude. So you're

00:47:35.099 --> 00:47:37.719
saying that the flags have deteriorated. Yes.

00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:40.440
Yeah. They're made in China. My flag deteriorates

00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.400
outside. They're made in China. It's in a vacuum.

00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.420
They're not built for solar radiation. There's

00:47:46.420 --> 00:47:48.579
no atmosphere. So how could they be affected?

00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:51.460
Is it dry rotting? Solar radiation. It's like

00:47:51.460 --> 00:47:53.860
anything left out in the sun is. Yeah. So it's

00:47:53.860 --> 00:47:56.809
just cooking it. Yes. Sure. Radiation. I don't

00:47:56.809 --> 00:48:00.150
know, man. Seems highly skeptic. Skeptic. So

00:48:00.150 --> 00:48:01.829
you'd rather believe a conspiracy than that?

00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:04.590
I'm not believing either of them. All I'm suggesting

00:48:04.590 --> 00:48:07.210
is that, what about the pole? I mean, can you

00:48:07.210 --> 00:48:08.909
see the pole? You can't see the flag, but they

00:48:08.909 --> 00:48:10.969
have a mounting pole. Is that going to deteriorate

00:48:10.969 --> 00:48:13.670
by the radiation? Possibly. Damn it, he has us.

00:48:14.469 --> 00:48:16.409
All right. No, possibly. How about the footprints?

00:48:16.590 --> 00:48:18.570
If they could see the flag, they surely could

00:48:18.570 --> 00:48:19.829
see the footprints. The footprints would be there

00:48:19.829 --> 00:48:21.829
forever. Or solar winds. No one can see this.

00:48:22.309 --> 00:48:26.570
No one. Shit, it blew all my footprints away.

00:48:26.869 --> 00:48:29.409
Good Lord. So hold on, hold on, hold on. It took

00:48:29.409 --> 00:48:32.690
a brush. It hid their spot. I mean, it would

00:48:32.690 --> 00:48:34.570
completely diffuse all these. Well, hold on.

00:48:34.570 --> 00:48:37.349
There's something flying around the moon. There's

00:48:37.349 --> 00:48:39.210
something orbiting the moon, and it's able to

00:48:39.210 --> 00:48:41.829
take pictures of these sites. But the James Webb

00:48:41.829 --> 00:48:44.610
Telescope can't see it. But is that true? Can

00:48:44.610 --> 00:48:46.829
you look that up? Well, that was a Chinese satellite

00:48:46.829 --> 00:48:49.489
that was able to fly back there, and they supposedly,

00:48:49.849 --> 00:48:51.929
no one's seen the dark side of the moon, but

00:48:51.929 --> 00:48:54.250
supposedly they have, and they've mapped it out.

00:48:55.230 --> 00:48:57.710
Are they building a base? So scroll down a little

00:48:57.710 --> 00:49:01.829
bit, Chuck. It says, it shows the Apollo landing

00:49:01.829 --> 00:49:05.369
sites and flagpole shadows. It says, no Earth

00:49:05.369 --> 00:49:09.090
-based or Earth -orbiting telescope has ever

00:49:09.090 --> 00:49:11.210
photographed a flag on the moon. The closest

00:49:11.210 --> 00:49:14.380
we are. We have our LRO images. I don't know

00:49:14.380 --> 00:49:16.159
what that means. LRO. Oh, come on, dude. Really?

00:49:16.340 --> 00:49:21.559
LRO. They're called landing rhiopica of oxygen.

00:49:22.460 --> 00:49:26.199
But the thing is that... See, it shows the flagpole

00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:29.400
shadows, dude. Yeah, but where are the pictures

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:33.139
of those flagpole shadows? That's all I'm saying

00:49:33.139 --> 00:49:34.900
is that... Look it up. You know what I mean?

00:49:34.940 --> 00:49:37.820
If it's there, why don't they just put it out

00:49:37.820 --> 00:49:40.750
there? It's kind of like... It's just like anything.

00:49:40.909 --> 00:49:43.510
If it's there, just show us. Just use this. Why

00:49:43.510 --> 00:49:45.070
do we have to argue about it? Just show us. Look

00:49:45.070 --> 00:49:47.989
up LRO images, which is what we have right now.

00:49:48.829 --> 00:49:51.110
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. I was close. Is

00:49:51.110 --> 00:49:53.110
it because the Earth is flat, and that's the

00:49:53.110 --> 00:49:54.630
reason why? See, that was my point. That was

00:49:54.630 --> 00:49:56.690
the thing that was orbiting the moon. It wasn't

00:49:56.690 --> 00:49:58.829
coming from Earth. It was something going around

00:49:58.829 --> 00:50:03.789
the moon can see that stuff. Yes, would you say

00:50:03.789 --> 00:50:07.599
the Earth is flat? No. Yeah, you did. I did say

00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.539
it. I think it's convex. Convex? Convex. Because

00:50:12.539 --> 00:50:14.920
things appear smaller. That's why you can't see

00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:19.460
them. Greenland looks bigger. Yes. Okay. All

00:50:19.460 --> 00:50:21.079
right. We're getting wheels off here. Yes. All

00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.860
right. Anyway, so now we know what LRO means.

00:50:24.139 --> 00:50:26.179
What did it mean? Lunar? We completely debunked

00:50:26.179 --> 00:50:28.280
Sean's theory. Oh, we always do. Yes. I don't

00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:29.619
know. I don't think so, because I haven't seen

00:50:29.619 --> 00:50:32.280
any pictures. Flagpole shadows. Yeah. Well, they

00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:34.199
could say that all day long, just like Joe Biden

00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:38.179
was a competent president. They say that. Yeah,

00:50:38.219 --> 00:50:40.000
the Dems did. They sure did. Yeah, they did.

00:50:40.340 --> 00:50:44.199
Until they didn't. Okay. Wow. Well, I wonder

00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:47.280
what they're going to do with Joe Biden. Yeah.

00:50:47.340 --> 00:50:49.159
You know what? Speaking of Houston and all the

00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:52.000
rockets going out there, the Dallas Cowboys just

00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:56.019
sold a few Dallas Cowboy players to Houston.

00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:59.019
I didn't hear about this. I know there's a lot

00:50:59.019 --> 00:51:01.239
of shit going on in the NFL right now. I'm not

00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:03.239
selling. You're making it sound kind of gross.

00:51:04.889 --> 00:51:07.449
Some players were traded from the Cowboys to

00:51:07.449 --> 00:51:10.510
the Texans? I didn't hear this. All right, here

00:51:10.510 --> 00:51:12.309
we go. Here's some pictures Mr. Producer has

00:51:12.309 --> 00:51:16.630
up here. I don't see any landing sites with flagpoles.

00:51:16.989 --> 00:51:18.590
That's what you were supposed to look up. Nothing?

00:51:19.250 --> 00:51:22.909
Nothing? Landing region? It all looks the same.

00:51:23.050 --> 00:51:26.210
Looks like skin. Oh, I see what you're showing

00:51:26.210 --> 00:51:30.289
us here. Oh, yeah. God, see? Even something orbiting

00:51:30.289 --> 00:51:32.690
the moon can't even take a picture close enough.

00:51:33.629 --> 00:51:37.369
Well, that's how big the universe is. Look, there's

00:51:37.369 --> 00:51:40.210
an arrow pointing to a little dot. Well, there

00:51:40.210 --> 00:51:41.809
you go. There's your proof, Sean. What are you

00:51:41.809 --> 00:51:44.750
worried about? Whatever. Yeah, there's a picture.

00:51:44.769 --> 00:51:46.750
There you go. See, look. It's right there. Right

00:51:46.750 --> 00:51:49.170
there. Hold on. Look closely. Did you blink?

00:51:49.329 --> 00:51:51.889
It's right there. It's right there. See it? And

00:51:51.889 --> 00:51:53.949
you know what the crazy thing is? Is we know

00:51:53.949 --> 00:51:55.489
more about the surface of the moon than we do

00:51:55.489 --> 00:51:57.590
about the ocean floor. I know. That's crazy.

00:51:57.869 --> 00:52:00.090
You know? I know. Well, I mean, it's like miles

00:52:00.090 --> 00:52:05.449
down. Well, which one is more high? Which one's

00:52:05.449 --> 00:52:08.230
harder to get to? Obviously, the bottom of the

00:52:08.230 --> 00:52:11.030
ocean because very few people do it. No, I think

00:52:11.030 --> 00:52:13.550
the bottom of the ocean is harder to get to because

00:52:13.550 --> 00:52:16.309
of the amount of pressure that's involved. Out

00:52:16.309 --> 00:52:20.030
in the universe, out in the space, it's not like

00:52:20.030 --> 00:52:22.110
that. I'm going to disagree. I'm going to disagree.

00:52:22.230 --> 00:52:24.449
The only reason why we haven't gone down there

00:52:24.449 --> 00:52:26.510
is because, yes, it's difficult, just like going

00:52:26.510 --> 00:52:28.650
to the moon is difficult, but if there was some

00:52:28.650 --> 00:52:32.090
strategic reason or... You know what I mean?

00:52:32.110 --> 00:52:34.690
If they really felt like there was a reason to

00:52:34.690 --> 00:52:36.769
go down there, it would be easier to go there

00:52:36.769 --> 00:52:38.590
than it would be to go to the moon, in my opinion.

00:52:39.010 --> 00:52:41.030
And yes, enormous pressure you have to deal with,

00:52:41.170 --> 00:52:44.690
but there's no... Dude, just getting terminal

00:52:44.690 --> 00:52:48.030
velocity, putting a lunar lander on a freaking

00:52:48.030 --> 00:52:50.429
rocket and getting out of the Earth's atmosphere,

00:52:50.590 --> 00:52:53.449
much less getting to the moon, is unbelievable.

00:52:54.170 --> 00:52:57.230
Oh, I agree. Plus, you can't get out and walk

00:52:57.230 --> 00:53:00.889
around down there like you can on the moon. Right.

00:53:01.389 --> 00:53:03.630
But, you know, what happened to that, you know,

00:53:03.630 --> 00:53:05.630
that submersible, what, three, four years ago

00:53:05.630 --> 00:53:08.949
that just instantly imploded? That was awful.

00:53:09.130 --> 00:53:13.449
Did you ever hear the audio of that? They said

00:53:13.449 --> 00:53:17.909
that it was so fast that the speed was, what,

00:53:18.010 --> 00:53:20.650
not even a second? It was like about a quarter

00:53:20.650 --> 00:53:24.940
second. The speed of it imploding was so fast,

00:53:25.059 --> 00:53:27.900
it created enough friction to ignite the oxygen

00:53:27.900 --> 00:53:30.719
in there. But if you slow it down, you can hear

00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:34.179
very, very slight, very silently. Oh, shit. No,

00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:38.219
you hear, ow. That's all you hear. I don't know

00:53:38.219 --> 00:53:40.559
even about that. Just kind of like, I mean, imagine

00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:43.820
a quarter second. You wouldn't know. You were

00:53:43.820 --> 00:53:46.239
there, then you weren't. I'm being insensitive.

00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:48.780
But the fact that when they died, they were like,

00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:51.480
do you think they felt anything? No. Absolutely

00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:55.159
not. It was as if they had been erased instantaneously.

00:53:55.260 --> 00:53:58.880
Yes. They're just a mist. God, this is awful.

00:53:59.139 --> 00:54:01.539
And then they show the debris. Did you see the

00:54:01.539 --> 00:54:03.719
picture of the debris on the bottom of the floor?

00:54:03.900 --> 00:54:06.059
Yeah. Okay. Now, by the way, that was complete

00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.969
negligence. on the founder of that. Well, he

00:54:08.969 --> 00:54:11.849
was in there with them. I know. And he was an

00:54:11.849 --> 00:54:14.050
idiot. And apparently they, people were warning

00:54:14.050 --> 00:54:16.469
him and they were dropping out of the, out of

00:54:16.469 --> 00:54:17.889
the project and out of the company. They were

00:54:17.889 --> 00:54:20.309
like, uh, I can't sign onto this. This is dangerous.

00:54:20.389 --> 00:54:22.469
What you're doing. There were cracks. They were

00:54:22.469 --> 00:54:24.730
saying, dude, I don't, there are cracks here.

00:54:24.789 --> 00:54:28.090
Well, he designed that. Unbelievable. The fact

00:54:28.090 --> 00:54:32.110
that a billionaire and his son went down there

00:54:32.110 --> 00:54:33.989
with him. How many people were there? Four people,

00:54:34.050 --> 00:54:36.550
three people. How many people perished in that?

00:54:36.550 --> 00:54:37.929
There were like five or six, I think. Yeah, there

00:54:37.929 --> 00:54:41.050
was like five or six. There was a father's son.

00:54:41.170 --> 00:54:44.110
There was the driver. I thought there were four,

00:54:44.349 --> 00:54:47.409
but I don't know. But it doesn't matter. I mean,

00:54:47.469 --> 00:54:50.769
is that a picture of it? I thought there was

00:54:50.769 --> 00:54:52.889
like nothing left of the thing. No, there were

00:54:52.889 --> 00:54:55.989
pieces. Yeah, I would imagine that part of it

00:54:55.989 --> 00:55:01.530
imploded and, you know, who knows? It could have

00:55:01.530 --> 00:55:04.230
imploded in a section. Right. And went poonk

00:55:04.230 --> 00:55:06.730
and just kind of crimped everything. And then

00:55:06.730 --> 00:55:08.530
all of a sudden, you know, maybe it didn't crush

00:55:08.530 --> 00:55:11.349
them into. Well, the water would end up crushing

00:55:11.349 --> 00:55:14.170
them. Maybe it just broke open. Yeah. And then

00:55:14.170 --> 00:55:16.429
the water. And then it released everyone in there

00:55:16.429 --> 00:55:18.849
a big old bloop. And that's kind of what I think

00:55:18.849 --> 00:55:22.150
that the Navy boats heard because the Navy said

00:55:22.150 --> 00:55:23.750
that they heard it. Yeah, they heard it. And

00:55:23.750 --> 00:55:26.409
they were like, yeah, that sounded like an implosion.

00:55:26.789 --> 00:55:29.349
We know what that sound is. And they should have

00:55:29.349 --> 00:55:32.969
made that public. You could hear it. So, Stefan

00:55:32.969 --> 00:55:36.289
Diggs, they traded to the Houston Texans. Wait.

00:55:36.610 --> 00:55:39.190
Trayvon Diggs. I was going to say, Stefan Diggs

00:55:39.190 --> 00:55:42.110
is already there. So, the brothers are playing

00:55:42.110 --> 00:55:44.710
together? That's right. All right. We need to

00:55:44.710 --> 00:55:47.949
discuss our bourbon. We can talk about the Cowboys

00:55:47.949 --> 00:55:51.650
and free agency in the second half. What do you

00:55:51.650 --> 00:55:53.949
mean? There is no more. What do you mean? We

00:55:53.949 --> 00:55:57.989
finished it. Oh. So, where's the bottle at? This

00:55:57.989 --> 00:56:07.039
is Willett. No, this is Ezra Brooks 107. Ezra

00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:11.800
Brooks Distillers Collection. Charcoal mellowed.

00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:18.760
So this is from Ezra Brooks. Who is the distiller

00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:22.199
on this? It's Lux Row Distillers. Yeah, Lux Row.

00:56:22.460 --> 00:56:28.340
Kentucky. It is 53 .5. So it's a 107 proof. Yeah.

00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:33.219
So I like this one. It's easy drinking. I'm breaking

00:56:33.219 --> 00:56:36.500
decorum, but give me a slight more, one more

00:56:36.500 --> 00:56:39.960
pour so I can - Just lick the cork. Both Chuck

00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.599
and I are like - What's he doing? That's not

00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.739
fair. Okay, by the way, you guys drank a bunch

00:56:45.739 --> 00:56:47.800
of bourbon when I wasn't here, so - That's not

00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:51.760
true. No, it is true. Damn it, Jeff. He seized

00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:54.059
a bottle. I saw all the bottles, and one of them

00:56:54.059 --> 00:56:56.019
was blue corn or whatever, and I was like, damn,

00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:58.579
that's an expensive one. We have blue corn? I

00:56:58.579 --> 00:57:00.760
don't remember that. Fuckers. It was on the table.

00:57:01.500 --> 00:57:06.599
No, no. Someone brought that. What do you mean

00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:08.179
brought that? You pulled it out of the collection.

00:57:08.260 --> 00:57:09.920
You guys drank it here. We don't have blue corn.

00:57:10.659 --> 00:57:12.500
Not true. We never bought blue corn. True blue.

00:57:12.739 --> 00:57:16.679
True blue. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, we didn't.

00:57:16.860 --> 00:57:19.559
It was on the table. I didn't drink that. I think

00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:22.559
someone else. No, I pulled out the mezcal yellow

00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:25.960
rose that you brought. Mm -hmm. You guys broke

00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:27.780
the cardinal rule. Anyway. We don't drink all

00:57:27.780 --> 00:57:31.090
that unless we're all here. Sean, don't go away.

00:57:32.349 --> 00:57:35.849
Something shit happens. All right. So Ezra Brooks,

00:57:36.110 --> 00:57:40.849
this is handpicked from Extraordinary Bottles,

00:57:40.849 --> 00:57:44.750
barrels. What do we think of this? All right,

00:57:44.769 --> 00:57:46.929
here we go. I've been drinking it all night,

00:57:46.989 --> 00:57:52.769
but now I'm in evaluation mode. So a detailed

00:57:52.769 --> 00:57:54.809
breakdown of the tasting notes. So let's talk

00:57:54.809 --> 00:57:58.440
about the notes. Well, we got our... Malt Meridian.

00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.400
Oh, yeah. Let me get my... Before you read the

00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:02.739
AI, let's see if we can come up with anything.

00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:04.119
Okay, we got a worksheet. All right, here we

00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:08.920
go. Let's see. I think it's kind of on the nose,

00:58:08.940 --> 00:58:18.139
kind of sweet. I get some pecan. I get some pecan

00:58:18.139 --> 00:58:21.420
in there. It is sweet, like marshmallow sweet.

00:58:22.539 --> 00:58:25.860
I'm looking on the chart here. The circle of

00:58:25.860 --> 00:58:28.320
life, the whiskey circle. This is the, what do

00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:33.000
you call it? Liquor lexicon? Cinnamon. You get

00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:35.579
cinnamon? I'm picking up the sweetness. Maybe

00:58:35.579 --> 00:58:40.320
nutmeg. Maybe some sorghum. Oh, good one. Where's

00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:42.679
that on the wheel of? That's right there. Is

00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:45.719
it really? On our flavor atlas? Sorghum is not

00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:47.699
on here. Where is that? It's right there next

00:58:47.699 --> 00:58:50.599
to buttery. Oh, my God. Okay, you're out of the

00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:55.000
game. It's next to mole asses, sorghum, and butter.

00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:57.500
Okay, now we're moving on to the... All right,

00:58:57.500 --> 00:59:01.679
so the taste... Here we go. I'm picking up some

00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:04.059
caramel in this, definitely. So AI brings in

00:59:04.059 --> 00:59:07.639
cinnamon, wood sugars, hazelnuts, smoky oak marshmallows,

00:59:07.739 --> 00:59:11.059
all charred. We don't care about AI. We want

00:59:11.059 --> 00:59:13.420
what we know, what we can pick out. I get nuts.

00:59:13.420 --> 00:59:14.940
So far, I'm on... Now that you said all that,

00:59:15.019 --> 00:59:16.739
we're going to taste it all. No, so far, I'm

00:59:16.739 --> 00:59:21.760
on pecan and nut. Pecan and nut. So I guess I'm

00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:26.219
on the tree part, the tree slice. You're picking

00:59:26.219 --> 00:59:29.380
up wood? No, I'm picking up nut. I knew that's

00:59:29.380 --> 00:59:31.539
why he wasn't here last week. No, I wouldn't

00:59:31.539 --> 00:59:36.320
do any wood. All right. Pecan and nut. Okay.

00:59:36.380 --> 00:59:38.920
I'm sorry. We're looking at our little chart

00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:41.500
here. They have no idea what we're looking at.

00:59:41.579 --> 00:59:42.800
So you need to tell them what you're looking

00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.480
at. That's what I just said. It's a worksheet.

00:59:45.659 --> 00:59:47.800
It's a wheel. It's called the Whiskey Ride, the

00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:52.159
Taste at Home. Worksheet. So it's a big wheel,

00:59:52.340 --> 00:59:56.059
and at the very center of the wheel, they have

00:59:56.059 --> 01:00:00.699
a tree, sweet, botanical, grain, and spice. And

01:00:00.699 --> 01:00:04.179
it all stems out from each one. The next tier

01:00:04.179 --> 01:00:09.539
is rich, aromatic, floral, fruity. You know,

01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.840
cereal, breads. Paul likes more of that stuff.

01:00:13.179 --> 01:00:15.300
Bread. And then it has another tier that breaks

01:00:15.300 --> 01:00:17.539
it down even more. You know, butterscotch. A

01:00:17.539 --> 01:00:19.539
little more flavors. Caramel. Kind of gets a

01:00:19.539 --> 01:00:22.519
little bit more like marshmallow, honey, honeysuckle,

01:00:22.659 --> 01:00:25.000
et cetera. And then there's another couple tiers

01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:26.739
that are even further out. I can't even read

01:00:26.739 --> 01:00:28.800
that. Yeah, I can't read that. Which one? I can

01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:32.219
read all of them. Right past citrus on the botanical

01:00:32.219 --> 01:00:35.820
food. Oh, I can't read that. Orange, grapefruit,

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:39.940
lemon. Apple pear. I can't read it because there's

01:00:39.940 --> 01:00:44.599
no fucking light in here. Anyways, it is a great

01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:46.659
wheel to look at if you're trying to figure it

01:00:46.659 --> 01:00:48.659
out. So basically it's a worksheet. You take

01:00:48.659 --> 01:00:49.900
this and you're kind of like, hey, what do you

01:00:49.900 --> 01:00:53.320
guys taste? But we've been doing this so long

01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.539
and we just kind of shoot from the hip here.

01:00:55.559 --> 01:00:57.840
We're pros. This one right here from Lux Rose.

01:00:57.940 --> 01:01:00.300
First of all, Lux Rose is a pretty reputable

01:01:00.300 --> 01:01:04.199
company that puts out a great product. They do

01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.170
Rebels. Yeah. Rebel Yell. Yeah, they're good.

01:01:07.449 --> 01:01:09.289
Yeah, I'll call it Rebel Yell. In fact, they

01:01:09.289 --> 01:01:11.090
got all woke and were like, we're going to remove

01:01:11.090 --> 01:01:13.989
the word yell because we don't want people to

01:01:13.989 --> 01:01:20.590
think of us as like we're rebel losers and racist

01:01:20.590 --> 01:01:22.809
and stuff. I was like, come on. Yeah, I wish

01:01:22.809 --> 01:01:24.610
they wouldn't do that. Hold on to heritage, man.

01:01:25.710 --> 01:01:28.190
It's heritage, not hate. Actually, this is not

01:01:28.190 --> 01:01:30.809
too bad. It's good. It's easy to drink. I like

01:01:30.809 --> 01:01:32.530
it. I think the sweetness makes it easy to drink.

01:01:32.630 --> 01:01:34.860
What did you say the proof was? Sorry. 107. Oh,

01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.300
very nice. It's right in that sweet spot. I mean,

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.780
for it to be... It doesn't even taste 107. I

01:01:40.780 --> 01:01:43.139
was going to say... My wife did not care for

01:01:43.139 --> 01:01:45.179
this. It's not harsh. So the palate offers a

01:01:45.179 --> 01:01:47.519
sweet experience with caramelized wood sugars,

01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:51.480
vanilla cream brulee, and that's just absolutely

01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:56.019
dominating. I agree with that. The finish, the

01:01:56.019 --> 01:01:59.380
107 proof provides a warm and long finish with

01:01:59.380 --> 01:02:03.119
notes of cinnamon and Nutella. Nutella? Yeah.

01:02:03.739 --> 01:02:07.510
Hazelnut. It's the hazelnut, yeah. Nutella's

01:02:07.510 --> 01:02:09.909
never been thrown out. Some people mention chocolate,

01:02:10.210 --> 01:02:12.369
mint, nutmeg. You mentioned nutmeg, right? I

01:02:12.369 --> 01:02:15.210
did. This nuts. Thank you. How about that? Slight

01:02:15.210 --> 01:02:19.389
peppery spice. I'm picking it up on the, when

01:02:19.389 --> 01:02:21.889
you say creme brulee, I think of when you have

01:02:21.889 --> 01:02:23.389
a marshmallow over the fire. That's what I'm

01:02:23.389 --> 01:02:26.889
thinking of. Yeah. Those s'more type, before

01:02:26.889 --> 01:02:28.429
you make them into s'mores, the marshmallows

01:02:28.429 --> 01:02:30.349
we have over the fire, they're kind of melty.

01:02:30.510 --> 01:02:32.369
Yeah, yeah. That's what I kind of pick up. Nice.

01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:35.260
I like it. I like it, too. I won't kick this

01:02:35.260 --> 01:02:37.940
out of bed. In fact, this is readily available.

01:02:38.340 --> 01:02:40.599
Yeah, well, Ezra Brooks. We're still good. We

01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:42.719
got half a bottle. We got enough for another

01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.739
round. Oh, yeah. No, they have, I mean, but they

01:02:45.739 --> 01:02:48.440
have lots of different, they have a mixer, too,

01:02:48.619 --> 01:02:50.480
Ezra Brooks. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they have a

01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:51.760
whole bunch, right? Yeah, they do. They're not

01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:54.960
one of those exclusively high proof, exclusively,

01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:56.860
you know, whatever, whatever. They have a whole

01:02:56.860 --> 01:02:59.719
range of bourbons out there. Yeah. This is good.

01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:03.679
Distillers Collection. This is good. I like it.

01:03:03.860 --> 01:03:06.940
It was good. It's tasty. Recommend it. Easy drinker.

01:03:06.940 --> 01:03:09.780
You could sip on this. My wife didn't like it.

01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:13.619
She said it was too hot, alcohol -wise, for her.

01:03:14.820 --> 01:03:17.659
But no, I'm not picking that up on this. It says

01:03:17.659 --> 01:03:20.079
it's hand -picked from extraordinary barrels.

01:03:21.420 --> 01:03:25.019
Interesting. So if we're wrapped up with that,

01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:27.820
did we already talk about how Kentucky's getting

01:03:27.820 --> 01:03:30.699
a little nervous about this Canadian tariff?

01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:33.900
Well, I've seen all kinds of photos and stuff

01:03:33.900 --> 01:03:37.559
where... What happened to your camera? It's all

01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:41.239
smeggy again. He's taking a selfie and it's all

01:03:41.239 --> 01:03:44.400
smegma. It's got your Vaseline all over it again.

01:03:44.539 --> 01:03:47.599
Yeah, it's got sticky stuff on the camera, I

01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:50.179
think. What have you been doing with that camera?

01:03:51.539 --> 01:03:55.579
Keistering it. But anyway, yeah, I've seen pictures

01:03:55.579 --> 01:03:58.139
of the liquor stores pulling all the bourbon

01:03:58.139 --> 01:04:00.800
off the shelves. Yeah, that's so extreme. It's

01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:03.000
not necessary. But it doesn't fucking matter.

01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:04.360
They've already paid for it. Yeah, they paid

01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:06.679
for it, so fuck them. And the governor of Kentucky

01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:08.760
is like, you know, you guys are disproportionately

01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:12.360
being all kind of bent out of shape about this.

01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:14.260
But then he kind of took a dig at Trump. He's

01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:16.960
like, I don't support this, and tariffs are not

01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:18.719
the way to go. There you go. That looks better.

01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:22.099
That's much better. All right. We had a selfie.

01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:25.000
I'm sending that to Larry Cuvion. He just texted

01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:27.480
me. Nice. But yeah, I think they are a little

01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:29.780
overreacted. I think they got a little butt hurt.

01:04:29.920 --> 01:04:32.179
Well, dude, they're booing our anthem. Every

01:04:32.179 --> 01:04:33.860
time they hear our anthem, they're booing our

01:04:33.860 --> 01:04:37.199
anthem. So, I mean, what the hell, man? Yeah,

01:04:37.260 --> 01:04:40.400
they're taking it to heart. Trump's played hardball

01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:42.920
to negotiate. That's what he always does. He

01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:47.960
trolls and gets emotions fired up. And they're

01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:51.380
going all out on it. Well, Ontario enforced a

01:04:51.380 --> 01:04:56.679
25 %... tariff on the electricity that they bring

01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:59.639
in, probably for the northeast. Right? Yeah,

01:04:59.659 --> 01:05:01.360
sure. So then Trump turned around and says, all

01:05:01.360 --> 01:05:03.420
right, we're putting 50 % on your steel. Right.

01:05:03.619 --> 01:05:06.840
Yeah, and aluminum. And Ontario, I believe, has

01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:11.840
already caved. Good. The whole thing. Okay. Look,

01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:15.579
if you're going to put a reciprocal tariff on

01:05:15.579 --> 01:05:19.920
somebody, it's stupid at a certain point. Okay,

01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.559
look, if you're going to charge us 20%, we're

01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:24.840
going to charge you 20%. I got an idea. How about

01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:27.099
you don't charge us 20 % and we both just drop

01:05:27.099 --> 01:05:29.900
down? It just makes sense. Now, I understand

01:05:29.900 --> 01:05:33.599
that there needs to be some sort of payment for

01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:37.539
some of the processes, maybe 5 % maybe. I don't

01:05:37.539 --> 01:05:39.639
know. What's normal? What do we charge China?

01:05:40.460 --> 01:05:44.400
For what? For tariffs. I mean, Trump applied

01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:48.539
a tariff when he was in office, and they were

01:05:48.539 --> 01:05:50.559
just like, I can't believe you applied that tariff

01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:54.219
to China. And then when Joe Biden got in office,

01:05:54.420 --> 01:05:57.159
he went and didn't do shit. He left the tariff

01:05:57.159 --> 01:05:59.719
there. Well, I can tell you that on computers

01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:05.260
and shit like that, it was 25%. So let me, okay,

01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:07.820
can we dig into this a little bit? Because I

01:06:07.820 --> 01:06:10.000
think a lot of people get confused about what

01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.769
exactly the situation is and why. and why Trump's

01:06:13.769 --> 01:06:16.349
doing what he's doing. We have a trade deficit,

01:06:16.489 --> 01:06:19.809
a massive trade deficit with many countries in

01:06:19.809 --> 01:06:22.250
the world, right? Yeah, they tariff the shit

01:06:22.250 --> 01:06:24.289
out of us so our stuff doesn't sell over there.

01:06:24.530 --> 01:06:26.630
Okay, all right, so that's what it is. So it's

01:06:26.630 --> 01:06:31.929
not that they don't, it's not that they're refusing

01:06:31.929 --> 01:06:34.929
to buy our goods. It's just that they've made

01:06:34.929 --> 01:06:37.869
our goods too expensive to be competitive in

01:06:37.869 --> 01:06:40.329
their market. I believe India has 100 % tariff

01:06:40.329 --> 01:06:46.059
on Harleys. fuck me that's crazy yeah see and

01:06:46.059 --> 01:06:48.760
that's what so we've been getting just you know

01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:51.360
taking it up the butt by the whole world for

01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:54.440
so long and trump is like okay enough's enough

01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:59.119
right so okay so it is it is a is it a hundred

01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:02.420
percent that they are putting tariffs on our

01:07:02.420 --> 01:07:07.699
products or are they simply not allowing our

01:07:07.699 --> 01:07:10.480
products into their markets yes which one is

01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:13.960
it both yes it's so they're they're wanting they're

01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:17.380
wanting us to pay extra actually we don't have

01:07:17.380 --> 01:07:19.280
to pay the people that are importing our stuff

01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:22.159
pay the tax so when someone applies a tariff

01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:25.059
to us let's just say you know when it comes to

01:07:25.059 --> 01:07:28.480
our our when we import it the importers pay that

01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:30.940
tariff So if the importers are in the United

01:07:30.940 --> 01:07:33.219
States and we're ordering stuff from China, the

01:07:33.219 --> 01:07:35.820
importers pay that. And that gets turned and

01:07:35.820 --> 01:07:37.599
the United States citizens have to pay it. Yeah,

01:07:37.659 --> 01:07:41.400
they pass it forward. But when you are in the

01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:43.460
negotiation phase and you say, all right, well,

01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:46.079
that product I'm about to buy from China, product

01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:49.360
A, cost $100 and it's going to hit our border.

01:07:49.420 --> 01:07:52.780
Now it's $125. I'm not paying that. Why don't

01:07:52.780 --> 01:07:57.059
you drop your price to $80 to compensate for

01:07:57.059 --> 01:08:00.199
that tariff? And that's kind of what the play

01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:01.920
game is. And they don't want to fucking do that

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.059
either. All right, well, get with your freaking

01:08:04.059 --> 01:08:07.500
country and let's lower the reciprocal tariffs.

01:08:07.699 --> 01:08:12.320
It's stupid. Okay, but in a macro level. So the

01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.539
reality is we're buying way more of the world's

01:08:15.539 --> 01:08:19.420
products than they are buying of ours. 100%.

01:08:19.420 --> 01:08:22.220
And so that screws our manufacturing. That screws

01:08:22.220 --> 01:08:23.340
our job opportunities. Yeah, but are we really

01:08:23.340 --> 01:08:25.550
making a bunch of stuff? Well, that's the whole

01:08:25.550 --> 01:08:28.289
point. There's no point in making anything here

01:08:28.289 --> 01:08:30.630
because you can't sell it anywhere. Well, that's

01:08:30.630 --> 01:08:34.350
by design because everything is made in Hong

01:08:34.350 --> 01:08:37.189
Kong or China. Everybody wants cheap Chinese

01:08:37.189 --> 01:08:42.329
product. Right. That's why Timu is so popular.

01:08:42.430 --> 01:08:45.609
They want that cheap Chinese product. Disposable

01:08:45.609 --> 01:08:48.189
shit. Oriental trading. Pull up what you had

01:08:48.189 --> 01:08:50.369
there. Pull the back up. These are the tariffs

01:08:50.369 --> 01:08:53.100
that... Canada has on U .S. products. Okay, let's

01:08:53.100 --> 01:08:56.640
hurry up. Is this legitimate? What's the website

01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:00.880
here? This is X. Plato's Cave Shadows. All right,

01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:02.359
so we don't really know if this is... I don't

01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:03.720
know if that's accurate or not. Okay, we don't

01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:05.239
know, but let's just read it anyway. Go ahead,

01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:08.819
Jeff. It says, so the number one, butter, approximately

01:09:08.819 --> 01:09:14.020
298 % tariff on... On American butter. Part of

01:09:14.020 --> 01:09:15.920
Canada's supply -managed dairy sector, which

01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:17.899
imposes high tariffs to protect domestic production.

01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:20.420
Domestic meaning Canadian production. So they're

01:09:20.420 --> 01:09:24.600
protecting their own butter makers, right? Their

01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:28.279
own dairy farms and stuff like that. And then

01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:31.739
milk, approximately 270 % tariff. It's another

01:09:31.739 --> 01:09:33.600
supply -managed dairy product with significant

01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:36.640
tariffs to limit U .S. imports. Basically, all

01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:42.130
of these are to benefit the Canadian. country

01:09:42.130 --> 01:09:47.510
which okay i get that uh but then you can't bitch

01:09:47.510 --> 01:09:49.710
and turn around when we do a reciprocal yeah

01:09:49.710 --> 01:09:52.470
we we want to protect our yeah we want to protect

01:09:52.470 --> 01:09:54.689
uh we're not going to take your steel because

01:09:54.689 --> 01:09:58.029
we want to protect our steel industry right fair

01:09:58.029 --> 01:10:00.689
enough i never i never understood that i i 100

01:10:00.689 --> 01:10:03.510
don't understand that we we were charging china

01:10:03.510 --> 01:10:07.760
zero Zero. That's crazy. Bring your shit over

01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:09.960
here. Let us get all your shit for as cheap as

01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:12.399
possible. Right. And they're fucking us when

01:10:12.399 --> 01:10:14.119
we try to sell our stuff over there in the United

01:10:14.119 --> 01:10:15.460
States. And I guarantee there were people that

01:10:15.460 --> 01:10:17.920
made similar products that come out of China.

01:10:18.039 --> 01:10:20.239
They made it in the United States, and very quickly

01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:22.720
they realized, unless people, you know, hey,

01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:24.960
made in America. Buy my product, you're going

01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:27.159
to pay about $10 more than you would buying the

01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:30.039
shit off of Amazon. But, you know, people don't

01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:32.340
care. Well, manufacturers in the United States,

01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:35.220
guys that owned companies, would basically, that's

01:10:35.220 --> 01:10:37.899
what they were doing. They were subcontracting,

01:10:37.899 --> 01:10:40.539
let's just say, TV, whatever. Whatever product

01:10:40.539 --> 01:10:42.039
it is, they're like, all right, well, I just

01:10:42.039 --> 01:10:44.380
invented this. Let's go ahead and make this.

01:10:46.590 --> 01:10:49.310
We want this to be manufactured in China. Well,

01:10:49.329 --> 01:10:50.789
China says, all right, well, give us the plans

01:10:50.789 --> 01:10:53.510
and we'll do it. And you have to make out a detailed

01:10:53.510 --> 01:10:56.289
contract with them about intellectual property

01:10:56.289 --> 01:10:58.409
and all that stuff. And no, they steal it anyway.

01:10:58.409 --> 01:10:59.930
At the end of the day, they just steal it. They

01:10:59.930 --> 01:11:03.510
come up with a phase two or a second generation

01:11:03.510 --> 01:11:06.189
one. Sometimes it's fucking better for a fraction

01:11:06.189 --> 01:11:08.310
of the cost. They turn around and they sell it

01:11:08.310 --> 01:11:11.350
right back without any tariffs. And you'll see

01:11:11.350 --> 01:11:13.229
some of these. Because when I was looking at

01:11:13.229 --> 01:11:15.550
some T -shirts, I wanted to buy some American.

01:11:15.689 --> 01:11:18.210
made t -shirts right so it'll say uh printed

01:11:18.210 --> 01:11:21.949
in the u .s but the t -shirts come from china

01:11:21.949 --> 01:11:24.890
right so but they're buying all these chinese

01:11:24.890 --> 01:11:27.050
t -shirts just go over here with a little silk

01:11:27.050 --> 01:11:29.569
screen and print them but again they're trying

01:11:29.569 --> 01:11:33.609
to compete yeah they can't compete right Yeah,

01:11:33.670 --> 01:11:35.710
because of the tariffs. And we've got unions

01:11:35.710 --> 01:11:38.310
and we've got high wages and we've got this and

01:11:38.310 --> 01:11:40.470
we've got that and people making shit here just

01:11:40.470 --> 01:11:42.689
can't compete. We have OSHA and we have all these

01:11:42.689 --> 01:11:45.649
regulations over in China. Let's do what you

01:11:45.649 --> 01:11:47.630
want. They're leaping off the buildings. Yeah,

01:11:47.630 --> 01:11:49.949
they have workers getting sucked into the t -shirt

01:11:49.949 --> 01:11:52.310
machine. Well, that and, you know, they've got

01:11:52.310 --> 01:11:55.409
a huge community of people in jail, you know,

01:11:55.430 --> 01:11:57.829
wiggers and all kinds of things that are, they've

01:11:57.829 --> 01:11:59.609
got all these... That's slave labor. Yeah, just

01:11:59.609 --> 01:12:02.729
on top. That's fucked up. But it is what it is.

01:12:02.729 --> 01:12:04.789
