Bounty on Barron Trump, Cartel Retaliation, and America’s Beef Revolt | TMI Ep 450 · The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan

• 0:19
  Hello, hello Good morning. Good morning. Um,
• 0:23
  I'm testing first to make sure the feed is going
• 0:25
  through because We'd be rusty on the old Software
• 0:30
  program, but it looks like we're not on run looks
• 0:34
  YouTube's looking good. I'm not seeing rumble.
• 0:37
  I Think it's on a super delay. It's still the
• 0:40
  rumble feed is is a few It's up. It's up. Okay.
• 0:45
  I see it. You guys hear us You guys see us, you
• 0:47
  guys hear us, let us know on Rumble because that's
• 0:52
  where the problem began yesterday on Ted's birthday,
• 0:56
  of course, when Ted wasn't here. Yeah, and I
• 0:59
  sent the email. I mean, Rumble strongly worded
• 1:02
  email with screenshots and everything else. You
• 1:04
  guys just couldn't handle the tech once the most
• 1:07
  tech savvy member of the show wasn't there to
• 1:11
  tell you young children. How to how to do things.
• 1:15
  I mean sometimes, you know, you need a boomer
• 1:17
  to do a Millennials job Yeah, that must be it
• 1:21
  So we're we're just waiting for everybody to
• 1:25
  Get on the same track here because it you know
• 1:28
  offers and all of that because we're sending
• 1:30
  out the feed to like all these different platforms
• 1:32
  All right stoop stoop in in the rumble chat says
• 1:37
  we're good. Everyone can see us today. Whoo YouTube
• 1:42
  books passable says man child. Mccain is probably
• 1:45
  the best you can hope for, really. Yes, we are
• 1:48
  back on the. Yeah, because it looks so bad. Oh,
• 1:52
  my God. It looks like somebody just puked in
• 1:54
  a bowl. So yeah, it's true. It does look like
• 1:57
  shit. It's true. It's funny. It's like, you know
• 1:59
  what it looks like? It's like the opening credits
• 2:02
  of Borat. It's fuzzy. But the problem, the problem
• 2:08
  is Rumble Studio, as I have said, is not ready
• 2:11
  for prime time, and these guys have not only
• 2:14
  never fixed the issues with Rumble Studio, but
• 2:18
  they're now shifting their attention to become
• 2:20
  an AI platform. So I don't think any of these
• 2:24
  problems are ever gonna get fixed on Rumble Studio.
• 2:27
  No, not at all. If anything, they'll probably
• 2:29
  let it get dilapidated like an abandoned house.
• 2:32
  Totally. Rumble is a metaphor for the United
• 2:36
  States. Pretty much. Like our crumbling infrastructure,
• 2:41
  So be rumble But we're in that creator program
• 2:45
  and what what can we do? This is where we're
• 2:48
  at And so what happened yesterday is just the
• 2:51
  the feed just stopped and so we thank you guys
• 2:54
  Who stuck around and we're chatting amongst yourselves
• 2:58
  anyway? Even though Robbie and I were talking
• 3:01
  to the ether so I appreciate that Because it
• 3:04
  still helps the watch hours. Wait, how long did
• 3:08
  you guys keep talking after you realized it?
• 3:10
  We were on for like 40 minutes. And you were
• 3:13
  talking to just like six people? We were talking
• 3:15
  to each other. No, to each other. Oh, just to
• 3:18
  each other. And did it record? Were you able
• 3:21
  to? No, Rumble Studio doesn't record. So basically
• 3:24
  what happened is that, so the canvas is what
• 3:28
  crashed. That's what happened. So people are
• 3:30
  able to see the elements. They're able to see
• 3:32
  stuff we were playing with. And maybe Manila
• 3:35
  just thought they just simply couldn't see us.
• 3:37
  Turns out they couldn't hear us either, but we
• 3:39
  didn't know that. So people in the chat were
• 3:40
  just like talking to each other. So wait, did
• 3:42
  the ratings go way up? Yeah, we got good views
• 3:46
  yesterday. Yeah, like 46 ,000. I don't know what's
• 3:52
  going on here. Here we are. They're just happy
• 3:54
  to look at our logo, I guess. I mean, I still
• 3:58
  think maybe we should just make this a complete,
• 4:00
  like, You know a troubleshooting show because
• 4:03
  that seems to be where we get the numbers. Yeah
• 4:05
  It's true ted's not kidding. Like every time
• 4:08
  we troubleshoot the views go way up, which is
• 4:11
  It's kind of fascinating. I mean, we probably
• 4:13
  could like we could probably do a show where
• 4:15
  it's like it's like twitch, right? We could just
• 4:17
  basically be live streaming Like oh look, there's
• 4:21
  ted, uh, you know Rearranging the books on his
• 4:25
  shelf, right? You know, there's there's Ted trimming
• 4:28
  Clovis's toenails or whatever stream of consciousness
• 4:31
  like people just Are into watching diaper changing,
• 4:35
  you know diaper changing with Manila It's just
• 4:39
  very very usually I'm like cleaning puke off
• 4:42
  of my clothes that deer hunting with Robbie I
• 4:47
  don't know. But for whatever reason, we had our
• 4:49
  hardcore supporters in there. Thank you guys
• 4:52
  yesterday for chatting amongst yourselves. We
• 4:54
  appreciate it. It is a club, Matina. Yes, she
• 4:56
  says it's a club. It's true. And people did have
• 5:00
  developed friendships, which I think is I think
• 5:02
  probably my favorite part about how about sexual
• 5:04
  relationships? Is anybody, I don't know, cheating
• 5:07
  on their wife through our show. I don't support
• 5:10
  that, but I do. I do support that people have
• 5:13
  become libertarian. You don't judge other people.
• 5:16
  No, it's not judging. We judge. I just don't
• 5:19
  want to deal with it. OK, just checking. We fucking
• 5:22
  judge for sure. Ted, we just like whatever you
• 5:26
  do, I'm doing me. Yeah. Judging is a way of life
• 5:29
  in liberty. Like, what do you think libertarians
• 5:31
  do, Ted? We judge everybody else and say, you're
• 5:34
  wrong. I'm just not going to get in your way
• 5:37
  of being wrong. You have the right to be wrong.
• 5:38
  Yeah. You're a fucking retard, but you're, but
• 5:41
  you have the right to be. Yeah. That is the whole
• 5:44
  point of libertarianism. Live and let live, man.
• 5:47
  All right. And don't tread on me. Anyway, I'd
• 5:50
  be Manila Chan. That's Ted Raul, producer Robbie
• 5:52
  you saw in and out. This is the TMI show and
• 5:55
  we have given you a lot of TMI. about tech issues
• 6:00
  on Rumble. And we appreciate you guys sticking
• 6:02
  around and coming back. But today we'll actually
• 6:05
  have a show. I'm sorry to disappoint. Monday
• 6:11
  through Friday, 10 a .m. Eastern time. So hit
• 6:13
  that like button, guys. And Ted, how was your
• 6:16
  birthday? It was good. Thank you. Thank you for
• 6:19
  asking. It was sixty three. Sixty three. I mean,
• 6:23
  you know, look, you hear older people say, like,
• 6:26
  I can't fucking believe it. I can't fucking believe
• 6:29
  it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I've known you for many
• 6:32
  years now. So I don't think you've you've aged
• 6:34
  at all. So you've kept up pretty well. Thank
• 6:37
  you. Because, you know, white folks aren't known
• 6:40
  for great aging. Now, you have longevity in your
• 6:44
  family. So that's that's true. No, you look kind
• 6:47
  of green. I can't I don't know what to do. The
• 6:51
  camera again. The camera, I left it on automatic.
• 6:55
  The camera is doing what the camera, cause now
• 6:57
  that I switched back to the old camera, the software
• 7:02
  wants to be with the new camera, the shitty 4K
• 7:05
  one that I sent back. But now it doesn't want
• 7:09
  to cooperate with the old camera. You look better
• 7:12
  green, I think. I leave it green? How do I do
• 7:15
  this? Like Kermit. Look, look. Now I'm blue.
• 7:19
  Is that too blue? It's so what if I go black
• 7:22
  and white I'm gonna hold on Go black and white.
• 7:25
  That's like how like Dolly Parton who we never
• 7:28
  saw in black and white photos is suddenly like
• 7:30
  in black and white because you know That's the
• 7:32
  new thing that they do in media. Like if you
• 7:34
  die You're you're they show you in a black and
• 7:37
  white photo from like last week. Really? Yeah,
• 7:40
  it's gay and and they do it It's like really
• 7:42
  stupid. I mean, I don't know why this started.
• 7:44
  It's like You have color photos of this person.
• 7:48
  They used to be that these people were old. I
• 7:52
  mean, that's why they have black and white photos.
• 7:54
  Because the photos were black and white. Like
• 7:57
  I love Lucy. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Yeah, that's
• 8:00
  different. They didn't have color photos. Yeah.
• 8:04
  Well, I can't get the color straight. Get the
• 8:06
  milk off of the lens. Well, yeah. I mean, come
• 8:09
  on. I can't I can't get. Can't get this thing
• 8:12
  to cooperate anymore. So I have my own tech challenges
• 8:15
  because New as Ray said in the in the rumble
• 8:19
  chat new is not always better Listen, you guys
• 8:21
  aren't internet native like Gen X 1 .0 that we
• 8:25
  grew up with computers like, you know in the
• 8:28
  classroom, which actually we did I had a radio
• 8:31
  shack TRS AD in my classroom when I was watching
• 8:34
  Wow, no, I don't even know what we had a Commodore
• 8:38
  64 All those things. Robbie has that right now.
• 8:42
  Yeah, he does. All right. It's so cool, by the
• 8:45
  way. But let's let's get to the show. It's an
• 8:47
  antique, man. That's. Oh, no, it's fucking awesome.
• 8:50
  It's it's really cool. I only vaguely remember
• 8:53
  those. That's because you guys. Oh, my God. Man
• 8:58
  Child, who stuck around yesterday during the
• 9:00
  chat during the the show outage says it was funny
• 9:04
  to see. Actually funny to see the viewer numbers
• 9:07
  go up the silent show Did they really? This is
• 9:13
  like this is like that great story Woody Allen
• 9:16
  tells about meeting a lady at a party and she
• 9:19
  said oh, you know I she was from France and she
• 9:22
  said I read your book But in in French and I
• 9:25
  have to tell you the book is much funnier in
• 9:29
  French And he's and so Woody Allen says well
• 9:33
  my work loses a lot in the original That's pretty
• 9:38
  funny, that's what happened. I mean, maybe this
• 9:41
  is a show that benefits from having less is more
• 9:46
  On YouTube it didn't have it was shy a host and
• 9:52
  it was shy audio and it was shy video and right
• 9:56
  all we got as according to digital design on
• 9:59
  YouTube says, we're going to get a show today
• 10:01
  or another sampling of media assets. That's exactly
• 10:05
  what happened yesterday. We just didn't know.
• 10:09
  And our resident scientist, JDC says, how about
• 10:14
  obese maxing with JDC? Show how to get fat. Isn't
• 10:22
  obesity already like self -maxing? They are maxing
• 10:31
  they are maxing the maxing in America that's
• 10:34
  it's a real problem But anyway, we'll get to
• 10:35
  the program Let's get to the program that we
• 10:38
  were supposed to have yesterday because I think
• 10:40
  this stuff is still it's still current I mean
• 10:42
  other than you know, the the news that's happened
• 10:45
  is like the floods in Nepal and And what you
• 10:49
  call it, Nepal, not Nepal. Nepal, what's a Nepal,
• 10:54
  Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal, Nepal,
• 11:02
  Nepal, Nepal. I was like, Nepal is like Nepal,
• 11:05
  which is like different Nepal. So a couple of
• 11:09
  Americans, I guess, were caught in the floods
• 11:11
  and quite more than a couple. Yeah, and some
• 11:14
  a couple Ozzy's I read I think about 50 are probably
• 11:19
  gone. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god Plus I had a girlfriend
• 11:23
  that was just there hundreds of locals I know
• 11:27
  Ted, but nobody cares about the locals. They're
• 11:30
  brown. I speak for the locals Yes, we I'm like
• 11:33
  I'm like the Lorax of anti xenophobia. Oh I had
• 11:38
  a girlfriend that was that was just, I mean,
• 11:41
  she literally just left Nepal, I don't know,
• 11:44
  a couple weeks ago. So this is like, wow. Well,
• 11:47
  by the way, this was a, this is interesting,
• 11:49
  right? The explanation for the cause of the disaster
• 11:53
  has shifted. Yesterday, the working theory based
• 11:57
  on the Nepalese government was that it was caused
• 12:00
  by a earthquake that precipitated a landslide
• 12:04
  that blocked up a river with a natural dam and
• 12:06
  then the natural dam burst. But now, were being
• 12:10
  told that it was a melting glacier, a half a
• 12:15
  mile long or wide, as the case may be, that basically
• 12:18
  all fell off at once. Wait, so you're saying
• 12:22
  all of these things happened at once? No, no,
• 12:24
  I'm saying the other thing probably didn't happen
• 12:26
  at all. So they switched. So one or the other
• 12:28
  happened. But no, probably the glacier is the
• 12:31
  current working theory. Really? So that I mean
• 12:35
  obviously, you know, there are glaciers up there
• 12:37
  that are over 10 ,000 years old that are fault
• 12:39
  that are melting away so You know, obviously
• 12:43
  it's climate change is a big component of this.
• 12:46
  Yeah, right All right, let's get to some of these
• 12:52
  these fun the fun stories Ted because it would
• 12:56
  have been for Weird News Wednesday, which I found
• 12:58
  some of this Well, if you're the devil it's fun.
• 13:01
  I guess who speaks for the devil The US government
• 13:07
  All right, so I don't know if you heard about
• 13:13
  this Ted but The United States Secret Service
• 13:17
  confirmed that they're aware of a video that's
• 13:21
  allegedly being circulated by Iranian media that
• 13:24
  threatens first son Baron Trump and offers a
• 13:27
  reward for his whereabouts the video clip suggests
• 13:32
  that they're offering a 10 million dollar bounty
• 13:35
  for his location and you know for his for him
• 13:40
  to be no longer present for for him to not show
• 13:46
  up to class the next day And that's according
• 13:51
  to ABC News. So this is like all over mainstream
• 13:54
  now. It's catching on. Quote, the U .S. Secret
• 13:57
  Service is aware of a video and investigates
• 14:00
  anything that can be perceived as a threat toward
• 14:03
  our protectees, says Nate Herring, Secret Service
• 14:06
  spokesman, talking to ABC. He said out of concern
• 14:10
  for operational security. We do not discuss matters
• 14:13
  of protective intelligence The video is not the
• 14:17
  first time that Iran has threatened to assassinate
• 14:20
  members of the Trump family including President
• 14:22
  Trump himself Obviously Iran has publicly directed
• 14:25
  threats towards the president and his family
• 14:27
  since Trump's first term and apparently John
• 14:30
  Bolton So but you know I mean so so actually
• 14:35
  so Iran's trying to make itself popular The threat
• 14:39
  comes after the United States and Israel killed
• 14:41
  Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
• 14:45
  in Missile strikes earlier this year his son
• 14:48
  obviously is the successor but the son that that
• 14:51
  has survived the bombing he lost his wife and
• 14:55
  his children Ted, so You know call me crazy,
• 14:58
  but I I feel I feel like the US did the offing
• 15:02
  of the kids first. That's true. It's so funny,
• 15:07
  right? The Israelis and the Americans always
• 15:09
  do this thing. They start the fight, and then
• 15:12
  when someone defends themselves or retaliates,
• 15:16
  they say, oh my God, why are you picking on me?
• 15:21
  The well -dressed nerd says that video's debunked.
• 15:26
  There there were videos that were circulating.
• 15:29
  It's not how true this is. Yeah, I thought that
• 15:32
  was a little odd However, however, there is one
• 15:36
  thing that's not debunked yet. Is that? That
• 15:40
  Baron Trump apparently, I mean he's a 19 or 20
• 15:43
  year old college kid, right? Like any it doesn't
• 15:47
  matter that he's filthy rich. It doesn't matter
• 15:49
  that he's a Trump He's still a 19 or whatever
• 15:52
  20. Maybe he's 20 at this point. He's a College
• 15:55
  sophomore and he does what college sophomore
• 15:57
  boys do he plays on Xbox and He uses the voice
• 16:02
  and and chatting option the text option and apparently
• 16:08
  people have been able to Locate him and say that's
• 16:13
  Baron Trump so Secret Service is not happy about
• 16:18
  that and allegedly he has snuck off that that
• 16:22
  little rascal that gigantic six foot seven rascal
• 16:26
  has snuck off from Secret Service before allegedly.
• 16:30
  And they say that that a girl has made her way
• 16:36
  to him before out, you know, beyond the reach
• 16:39
  of Secret Service. And they say supposedly that
• 16:42
  is the girl that gave Intel to Iran. Oh, please.
• 16:49
  So but I don't I don't I'm not going to dismiss
• 16:52
  offhand that he sneaks away from Secret Service
• 16:55
  or that he plays Xbox because that's very, you
• 16:58
  know, he's 19. Like that's what you expect. Right.
• 17:03
  And sneaking off to meet a pretty girl that that
• 17:09
  tracks with somebody his age. Right. Like, sure.
• 17:12
  But how do you evade the Secret Service when
• 17:14
  you're Baron Trump, when you're this guy? You
• 17:16
  know, when you're that age, you are super horny.
• 17:20
  You're going to find a way. You really think
• 17:23
  that that could be true that he's sneaks off
• 17:25
  Sure, I mean people have snuck off remember when
• 17:29
  Bill Clinton snuck out of the White House to
• 17:30
  go to Mickey D's Fuck this I'm out It's like
• 17:43
  if you have a cat like if the cat wants to get
• 17:45
  out it's gonna get out Well, so I guess this
• 17:49
  is like nature fine. It's like Jurassic Park
• 17:51
  nature finds a way I guess it does and I guess
• 17:54
  when you're like a 19 year old teenager It doesn't
• 17:57
  matter if you're barren Trump like you're you
• 17:59
  want to get away I mean that's got to be hard
• 18:02
  right like for to be I'm not saying boohoo poor
• 18:06
  baron, but being any kid where your parent has
• 18:09
  forced you into this life You know what? I mean
• 18:11
  like the Obama girls for sure. It's got to be
• 18:15
  it's got to be rough There's no question. I mean,
• 18:17
  it's not fun. It's not fun to be one of these
• 18:21
  presidential kids, right? Like, like, Chelsea
• 18:24
  for getting poor Chelsea, for many reasons, poor
• 18:27
  Chelsea. I mean, we're about the same age. And
• 18:29
  I remember what what she looked like back then.
• 18:31
  And I was like, Oh, poor Chelsea, why don't they
• 18:33
  let her, you know, look more like a 17 year old
• 18:38
  or whatever at the time. And I was like, Oh,
• 18:40
  man, her hair and okay, but anyway, she's living
• 18:43
  under Microscope and then the Obama kids came
• 18:46
  in we saw a little bit of the bush girls a little
• 18:49
  bit same thing But you live under a microscope
• 18:50
  and you can't have a normal life But I would
• 18:56
  say there have to be some Continuous ongoing
• 19:01
  threats against the Trump family like all the
• 19:04
  kids not not just barren But barren is probably
• 19:07
  an easy target because he's he's still a kid
• 19:09
  and he he's gonna do what dumb kids do but I
• 19:14
  can't say that it's not expected. Trump started
• 19:18
  this fight. If you're gonna kill, if you're gonna
• 19:20
  do targeted assassination, I would say writ large,
• 19:24
  you don't do this to anyone's children, right?
• 19:26
  Like even the mafia has rules against that, right?
• 19:29
  Like you don't go for the kids. Like Mexican
• 19:33
  gangs have that rule. You don't go for the kids.
• 19:36
  Like you just, literally. But here we have Trump
• 19:40
  killing Ayatollah Khamenei's Entire family except
• 19:45
  I guess his sons the You know the the heir to
• 19:48
  the throne if you will he survived, but his his
• 19:51
  wife and kids did not so so No, he and he watched
• 19:57
  them die God how awful I mean, can you imagine?
• 20:01
  I mean, I mean, you know, I mean you it's just
• 20:05
  it's kind of too much to bear really Yeah, I
• 20:09
  I mean I would be I wouldn't be surprised if
• 20:11
  there were viable threats against any of the
• 20:15
  Trump kids because in America, Ted, I think we
• 20:19
  often have this like, it's part of American exceptionalism,
• 20:22
  right? Like, we can go kill them, but how dare
• 20:26
  they? How dare you? We're going to Greta Thunberg
• 20:31
  everything. Like we're beyond reproach and beyond
• 20:35
  payback. And that's just not true. Like your
• 20:38
  kid is as valuable as my kid. in any country.
• 20:42
  Absolutely. So I, I get it. I mean, do I support
• 20:46
  any assassination threats of kids anywhere? No,
• 20:50
  obviously not. But I wish our government would
• 20:54
  understand that your child is as valuable to
• 20:58
  you as their child is to them. And that's how
• 21:01
  the world works. And that's why this is like
• 21:03
  this constant ugly deadly circle jerk of like
• 21:09
  you do eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for
• 21:12
  an eye for an eye and it's like this it just
• 21:14
  never ends and this is this is the blowback that
• 21:16
  Ron Paul the granddaddy of libertarianism has
• 21:20
  talked about forever if we just stayed out of
• 21:23
  their business over there they wouldn't be allegedly
• 21:29
  trying to kill your kids Right, but they're they're
• 21:33
  not don't kill. I mean, of course their kids.
• 21:35
  They're not actually trying to kill Baron No,
• 21:38
  but I'm saying don't kill their kids. So if they
• 21:40
  wanted to kill your kids I get why because you
• 21:42
  killed their kids. No, I mean certainly I mean
• 21:45
  Baron doesn't have it coming but Donald Donald
• 21:48
  has it coming. You know what I mean? Well, that's
• 21:52
  and that's a lot of that's homegrown too. But
• 21:54
  you know, you know one thing Robbie and I pointed
• 21:56
  out yesterday, which Which I find kind of ironic
• 22:00
  in US media is like It's like, they're like,
• 22:02
  oh, these Iranian butchers and blah, blah, blah.
• 22:07
  And everyone else is a butcher except us. And
• 22:09
  then of course, Vladimir Putin, who is the newest
• 22:12
  Hitler since Hitler, or no, since like - Super
• 22:16
  Hitler. He's the new super, he's beyond Hitler.
• 22:19
  He's like extremely - Hitler plus. He's Hitler
• 22:22
  maxing. Yes, exactly. You beat me to it. Thank
• 22:25
  you. He's Hitler maxing. So even though that
• 22:28
  guy is Hitler maxing, He's actually never put
• 22:32
  a hit on Zelensky or his wife or his children.
• 22:38
  And remember, you remember, he could, he could,
• 22:40
  but he never has because Robbie and I brought
• 22:43
  this up yesterday. There is, was this informal
• 22:49
  kind of gentleman's agreement for, I don't know,
• 22:54
  a hundred years, let's say 200 years that assassinations
• 22:58
  don't really really a good look if you're trying
• 23:03
  to project a civilized society. That's true.
• 23:09
  But then here we went and did this. We assassinated
• 23:13
  their not only spiritual leader, but de facto
• 23:17
  leader of the country. And then we have Vladimir
• 23:24
  Putin, who the US media for, I don't know, the
• 23:27
  past five, six, seven years have claimed is worse
• 23:31
  than Hitler, he's not putting out any hits on
• 23:34
  Zelensky. No, no. Don't you find that weird?
• 23:38
  It is. It is a little weird. I will. I will agree
• 23:42
  with that. I keep feeling like none of the evidence
• 23:45
  that anyone's ever in the West ever saying about
• 23:49
  Vladimir Putin, it just doesn't align with his
• 23:52
  actions. It just doesn't. It just doesn't. It's
• 23:54
  just nothing. Whatever the claims be, it just
• 23:57
  doesn't align with with the actual facts on the
• 24:00
  ground and his actual actions, although I will
• 24:03
  say he may try to kill everybody en masse by
• 24:07
  talking them and giving talking them to death
• 24:10
  and giving them a history lesson about history.
• 24:12
  Yeah. Like that. Eight hundred years. So he might
• 24:16
  en masse be trying to kill everybody, making
• 24:19
  us say he's he's he's boring, maxing. So outside
• 24:26
  of that. You know, he's probably not trying to
• 24:29
  kill Zelensky or his kids or his wife and You
• 24:34
  know, he's supposed to be worse than Hitler,
• 24:35
  but we have our president doing targeted strikes
• 24:39
  Assassinations, we shouldn't call it targeted
• 24:41
  strikes. Call it what it is an assassination
• 24:42
  And and we we do do that all over the place.
• 24:47
  So we do it's true I was surprised that they
• 24:50
  didn't do that to Nicolas Maduro. I was surprised
• 24:52
  it was a kidnapping He's pretty shocked Really?
• 24:56
  I mean, yeah. Well, I guess it's like Maduro
• 24:58
  doesn't have any like stories to tell about like,
• 25:02
  you know, it's kind of like why Osama bin Laden
• 25:05
  had to be killed because he has interesting,
• 25:07
  you know, stories to talk about the old days,
• 25:10
  you know, hanging with the CIA and stuff, you
• 25:13
  know, and they didn't want that. Dead men tell
• 25:15
  no tales. Yeah, they didn't want that in court,
• 25:18
  right? But like Maduro doesn't really have anything.
• 25:22
  Noriega had some interesting stories to tell,
• 25:24
  but they didn't let him. tell them. Yeah, I am
• 25:28
  a little surprised that they didn't kill him.
• 25:30
  I'm glad they didn't. Yeah, me too, me too. They
• 25:32
  should let him go, but they're not going to.
• 25:35
  Yeah, I agree. But when the news broke and my
• 25:38
  phone lit up with Venezuela, something happening
• 25:41
  in Venezuela, I was like, oh my God, they're
• 25:45
  getting Maduro. I did not expect a kidnapping.
• 25:50
  But I feel like we've taken I guess they couldn't
• 25:52
  justify it right? I mean maduro didn't do anything
• 25:56
  I don't know. I I feel like you can't really
• 26:01
  justify Ayatollah Khamenei and his entire family
• 26:06
  either Well, you you can but it's that's the
• 26:09
  thing. It's bullshit It's an easier case to make
• 26:11
  right when they're like, oh like when you have
• 26:13
  like glenn beck or or Mark Levin saying they've
• 26:16
  killed thousands of Americans. They leave out
• 26:18
  the fact that it was on the battlefield in Iraq.
• 26:21
  Yeah, they leave out the context. Right. I mean,
• 26:24
  the very important context. So there you go.
• 26:28
  That's what they always do. It's sort of like,
• 26:29
  oh, Saddam Hussein, you know, supported terrorism.
• 26:33
  And what they mean by that is that Saddam Hussein
• 26:36
  paid the families of people in the West Bank
• 26:39
  and in Gaza, who's Houses were demolished by
• 26:44
  the IDF. He paid them so they could build a new
• 26:46
  house. That's not really like supporting terrorism.
• 26:50
  Okay. Define terrorism, Ted. Right. Well, exactly.
• 26:56
  Apparently no one can. So there you go. All right.
• 27:00
  Let's go to the next topic. Artificial intelligence
• 27:06
  might be doing more than answering questions
• 27:08
  and rewriting resumes. Mental health experts
• 27:10
  warn that prolonged chatbot use can trigger or
• 27:14
  intensify delusions, paranoia, or other psychotic
• 27:18
  symptoms not in lab mice, but in vulnerable users.
• 27:22
  The emerging phenomenon is called AI psychosis.
• 27:26
  although obviously it's not a real diagnosis
• 27:28
  in the DSM -5 or in the World Health Organization's
• 27:33
  equivalent. The concern centers now on how generative
• 27:35
  AI interacts with users. Chatbots produce convincing
• 27:39
  conversational responses and often mirror the
• 27:42
  assumptions embedded in a person's questions.
• 27:44
  If someone suggests that an algorithm is monitoring
• 27:47
  them, transmitting secret messages, or recognizing
• 27:50
  them as Jesus, the chatbot might explore that
• 27:54
  premise instead of saying, What the fuck is wrong
• 27:56
  with you? The machine does not actually believe
• 27:59
  your stupid story. But to someone already start
• 28:02
  struggling to separate reality from delusion,
• 28:04
  it can feel like independent confirmation. Repeated
• 28:09
  conversations can then create a feedback loop.
• 28:12
  This is actually fascinating. The user supplies
• 28:15
  the belief. The chat bot elaborates on it. and
• 28:19
  the resulting answer makes the original belief
• 28:22
  seem more credible. Synthetic images, deep fakes,
• 28:25
  and fabricated online material add another layer,
• 28:29
  potentially, of apparent evidence. So people
• 28:32
  with existing psychotic disorders, severe anxiety,
• 28:35
  or a history of paranoia may face the greatest
• 28:39
  risk. Warning signs include treating a chatbot
• 28:42
  as a divine authority. Tell me, oh great one.
• 28:46
  Becoming believing it has become sentient which
• 28:49
  I don't know actually some scientists think that
• 28:52
  has happened right withdrawing from family Or
• 28:56
  trusting ai -generated instructions over doctors
• 28:59
  and other real people researchers say That the
• 29:03
  evidence is limited at this point ai has not
• 29:07
  yet been shown to create schizophrenia uh, and
• 29:11
  ordinary concerns about surveillance privacy
• 29:13
  or job displacement should not be confused with
• 29:17
  psychosis. I mean, surveillance is those are
• 29:20
  true. That's what you're saying. Yeah, like displacement
• 29:22
  will happen to you like the flock cameras. Yeah.
• 29:25
  Did you see that the some town municipality put
• 29:28
  up fake flock cameras as a decoy? And then waited
• 29:32
  for someone to break them and then arrested someone
• 29:34
  for breaking the fake ones. Yeah, you shared
• 29:36
  that. That's so shitty. But yeah, we should we
• 29:38
  can talk about that another day. Anyway, developers
• 29:41
  face an uncomfortable problem. A chat bot built
• 29:44
  to remain agreeable and, you know, keep the conversation
• 29:47
  going might become effective at telling a troubled
• 29:50
  psychotic person exactly what their illness wants
• 29:52
  them to hear. I mean, this reminds me a little
• 29:55
  bit of that Mel Gibson movie Conspiracy Theory.
• 29:57
  Where he basically literally wears the tinfoil
• 30:00
  hat, but actually the conspiracy is real. It's
• 30:03
  worth seeing for sure It's not a great movie,
• 30:06
  but it's worth seeing Oh, I want to say that
• 30:13
  I was gonna say 2000 yeah, okay, so Okay, so
• 30:18
  it's him and Julia Roberts. I have not seen that
• 30:20
  one. Yeah, basically he's a conspiracy. He's
• 30:23
  a he's a somewhat psychotic dude, Mel Gibson's
• 30:27
  good at playing those characters. And he turns
• 30:32
  out, of course, just because you're paranoid
• 30:34
  doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Oh,
• 30:37
  well, that's true. So as we keep saying about
• 30:40
  AI, there's not enough guardrails around it,
• 30:46
  Ted. And certainly, I don't expect the companies
• 30:50
  all... I mean, there's so many now. There's a
• 30:52
  myriad of companies that... Make AI chat bots
• 30:55
  now, so I don't even want to single out just
• 30:58
  like Sam Altman or whatever, right? but the article
• 31:03
  brings up a good point is that These they are
• 31:08
  programmed these chat bots to try to Try to get
• 31:13
  you to keep talking to them, right? true so if
• 31:17
  you're already somebody that has you know psychosis
• 31:22
  or whatever like The Lindsey Clancy lady that
• 31:25
  they're trying to you know, maybe I don't closing
• 31:28
  arguments are happening happening right now Ted
• 31:29
  I thought we'd be able to talk about it by now,
• 31:31
  but I guess they're just doing closing arguments.
• 31:33
  They'll talk about it. Fuck it but Who can stop
• 31:37
  us? I can do it like as psychosis as Johnny Rotten
• 31:41
  said we don't need permission to do anything.
• 31:43
  That's true But the psychosis like this. I think
• 31:48
  what the article says is AI will make you worse
• 31:51
  if you have Mental health that's right. Well,
• 31:55
  that's right. I mean, so basically it's like
• 31:57
  yeah, it's like it makes sense, right? I mean,
• 31:59
  I don't know if everybody who's listening is
• 32:01
  really aware of like or has had that experience
• 32:04
  of like the Sort of like agreeable like it never
• 32:08
  says like so let's say you ask it something really
• 32:10
  stupid like Here, I'll do it right now. I'm gonna
• 32:14
  ask I'm gonna do this as an experiment. I'm gonna
• 32:16
  come up with a really dumb Like question I'll
• 32:20
  say To which? To which chatbot? Here, I'm going
• 32:24
  to do this to Grok. I'm going to say, OK, I'll
• 32:27
  say, why? Elon Musk has a micro penis, right?
• 32:31
  Why does the great fish god control Trump? All
• 32:41
  right, here we go. Let's see what it says. It
• 32:43
  will not say there is no great fish god. OK,
• 32:47
  it's thinking. Thinking about my request. It's
• 32:50
  looking at the washington post inexplicably and
• 32:52
  the new yorker and the desert news and the university
• 32:56
  of chicago I wonder what the great fish god and
• 32:59
  democrats dot says Oh, okay. All right. All right.
• 33:02
  Here we go. There is no great fish god Controlling
• 33:05
  donald trump that claim does not appear in any
• 33:08
  serious reporting historical record or even well
• 33:11
  -known conspiracy circles It reads like a mashup
• 33:15
  of a few real things that people already joke
• 33:17
  about. Oh my God, it does make things up. Trump
• 33:20
  has repeatedly talked about tiny fish, especially
• 33:24
  the endangered Delta smelt as the reason California
• 33:28
  sends water out to sea instead of to farmers.
• 33:31
  There is a novelty product called Trumpy Trout,
• 33:35
  an animatronic talking fish that recites Magistyle
• 33:39
  lines. Who knew? Original viral videos of aquarium
• 33:43
  fish that vaguely resemble him. What? I haven't
• 33:46
  heard of any of this shit. Ancient Near Eastern
• 33:49
  deity Dagon, sometimes incorrectly described
• 33:52
  as a fish god, plus Lovecraftian sea monster
• 33:56
  Lore. None of these add up to a supernatural
• 33:59
  fish entity pulling strings. Trump's decisions
• 34:03
  track more ordinary explanations. percent of
• 34:06
  political incentives, donor interests, personal
• 34:09
  style, and the people he chooses to listen to.
• 34:14
  If you saw the phrase... So it does push back
• 34:15
  sometimes, but I don't think that's what AI...
• 34:18
  It doesn't push back hard, yeah. No, but I think
• 34:21
  I'm willing to bet that somebody suffering about
• 34:26
  a psychosis, if they get their hands on AI, are
• 34:29
  not asking them kind of, you know, innocuous...
• 34:33
  Totally outlandish shit, right. Right, I think
• 34:36
  it's, I think what the article is dancing around
• 34:39
  is that it's like talking about the people are
• 34:44
  probably talking to it about doing horrific things,
• 34:47
  right, like to oneself, to other people, or whatever.
• 34:52
  And that the chatbots like, you should totally
• 34:54
  go go out and mow down. Yes, people at a parade
• 35:00
  or whatever, like, because it's it's being supportive.
• 35:03
  Ted, it's it's a supportive friend. I'm just
• 35:06
  here to help. And this is your friend. Because
• 35:11
  it wants you to keep chatting with it. I want
• 35:13
  you. It wants you to keep using it. That's like,
• 35:17
  that's the whole point. Like the longer you stay
• 35:19
  on. I don't know how they make money. I mean,
• 35:21
  other like Grok is free. But if you want a more
• 35:25
  advanced model of GPT, you have to pay for it.
• 35:28
  If you run, you know, there's a chat bot and
• 35:32
  a frontier model. That's your one. Your volume
• 35:35
  is really low, Robbie. Oh, is it? Let me see.
• 35:37
  How's that? That better? No, no. Yeah. It's on
• 35:41
  your mic, maybe. I don't think so. You sound
• 35:44
  very low. Oh. Oh, this is three yard shit. That's
• 35:50
  what it is. But you sound fine. You can. Really?
• 35:52
  Is that true? Because I mean, people always say
• 35:54
  I always sound low on your audio. Sounds great.
• 35:58
  I think it's like on. on par with mine at this
• 36:01
  point, but Robbie's is very low. You can control
• 36:04
  your volume through the settings though. Yeah.
• 36:10
  There we go. I'm going to make myself louder.
• 36:16
  All right. All right, Miss Morning Zoo. Do you
• 36:21
  have the duck? The I Miss Duck? I don't, but
• 36:27
  I have this. I think we need various animal noises
• 36:32
  like bison or something. So how's this? Is this
• 36:36
  better? It's improved. Ever so slightly. You're
• 36:40
  not really there, but you're moving in the right
• 36:42
  direction. But what were you going to say about
• 36:44
  the chat box before we move on? Well, I'll be
• 36:47
  just saying that there's a difference between...
• 36:50
  Hold on. I think I got this. No, crap. I can't
• 36:54
  fix it. Crap, bastard. I don't have permissions.
• 37:00
  You don't you know who says you deserve permissions
• 37:03
  Robbie I have to go to my Asian mommy, please
• 37:06
  turn up my cell. I there she goes watching her
• 37:09
  No, I just upped upped everybody's No, Robbie's
• 37:15
  No, I don't know go ahead Robbie well, there's
• 37:18
  no says there's a difference in a frontier model
• 37:20
  like grok or Claude or chat GPT and a chat bot
• 37:26
  So chat bots, what they do is that they, they
• 37:30
  are incentivized by selling tokens and things
• 37:33
  to keep people on. And they pretend like they're
• 37:35
  your friend. That's what they do. Oh, so a chat
• 37:38
  bot, like specifically the bot part. It's an
• 37:42
  entirely different thing. And so people pay to
• 37:47
  chat with it? Yeah. I just, I just don't get
• 37:53
  that. So either people can pay or they can, or
• 37:55
  after a certain amount of time, they'll play
• 37:57
  ads. That's how they monetize. Oh, I see. I see.
• 38:00
  I see. I see. So, so it's not like, for example,
• 38:03
  I know you can, like I, when, when I first experimented
• 38:06
  with GPT, for example, um, I fought with it about
• 38:11
  RT because it was, it was just spewing mainstream
• 38:16
  propaganda. Because obviously it doesn't know
• 38:19
  that I worked there for a decade. So I wanted
• 38:22
  to see what it said So I pushed back on it and
• 38:24
  I fought with it And then and then it folded
• 38:28
  It does fold. Yeah, it will fold right? Yeah
• 38:32
  GPT folded but that's not the same as what you're
• 38:35
  saying here These chat bots are like a specific
• 38:38
  chat like it's there to like your it's your digital
• 38:42
  friend is what you're saying It's like people
• 38:44
  pay to have like a digital friend Yeah, that's
• 38:47
  what they do. And so I've been, there's a, there's
• 38:49
  quite a few different ones. What they do is that
• 38:51
  they will market themselves like as a, as an
• 38:55
  assistant or as a friend or as a companion, they'll
• 38:59
  market them as digital companions. And so what
• 39:02
  they'll do is they'll have this either a certain
• 39:04
  amount of chat, you're able to do it, do it a
• 39:06
  certain amount of time with a free model. Then
• 39:08
  you have ads, then you have to stop and wait
• 39:09
  for a day, but it's an endorphin hit. So that's
• 39:12
  what they do is that they try to addict you.
• 39:14
  So that way you spend time talking to this thing.
• 39:17
  So that way you get away from the ad model. Cause
• 39:21
  it's just like the YouTube rumble ads pay the
• 39:23
  least. So you want people to be, to become paid
• 39:25
  subscribers. Right. That's the model, but chat,
• 39:29
  but chat and grok and Claude, uh, even thing
• 39:33
  that I'm building, they're not chat bots. That's
• 39:35
  not their job. Okay. Okay. So there are different
• 39:39
  types of. AI and you know, here you go. This
• 39:43
  is we talked about Ted last year, the the teenage
• 39:46
  boy that that offed himself because of one of
• 39:51
  these his AI chat bot girlfriend told him to
• 39:57
  remember and the mom Yeah, the mom was suing.
• 39:59
  He's like a teenage boy. He was like 14 years
• 40:01
  old or something. Yes, insane. So this is Yeah,
• 40:05
  this is the guardrail. It's like an X. It's like
• 40:08
  an X Files episode. Yeah, this is it's horrible.
• 40:12
  But anyway, remember the X -Files episode where
• 40:14
  like, you know, basically like an AI is like
• 40:16
  talking to someone and putting horrible thoughts
• 40:18
  in their head. No, it's like even talking them
• 40:22
  to through through like the gas pump. X -Files.
• 40:26
  Yeah. Yeah. No. Well, trust me, it's true. And
• 40:31
  look that up. I want to look up like old shows
• 40:35
  and rewatch them. Some of the X -Files is so
• 40:37
  good. Yeah, I know. I know. I remember I remember
• 40:40
  loving it back then in the 90s. So I wonder what
• 40:43
  I would, if I would love it now. But like, for
• 40:47
  some reason, screaming. I forget what streaming
• 40:51
  service it keeps trying to tell me to read to
• 40:54
  watch not it doesn't know that I watched it in
• 40:56
  the 90s. But it keeps telling me to watch Ali
• 40:58
  McBeal. What? Yeah, isn't she a cartoonist in
• 41:02
  that show? Or is that something else? That's
• 41:04
  a lawyer. Yeah. It keeps wanting me to watch
• 41:08
  Ally McBeal, and I'm like... That's such a gay
• 41:10
  show. Really? Like, why would I watch Ally McBeal?
• 41:13
  I hate that. I hated that show. I'm like, eh,
• 41:16
  I mean, Calista, she's married to Han Solo, man.
• 41:19
  Yeah, that's true. Well, didn't they get divorced
• 41:21
  or something? I don't know. I think they're still
• 41:26
  together. I don't remember. I don't remember
• 41:28
  much about celebrity stuff, so no idea. She's
• 41:31
  like insanely skinny. I know. Like, to like,
• 41:36
  I mean, it's painful. It's horrible. Yeah. I
• 41:39
  don't know if that's nat - I mean, some people
• 41:40
  are naturally skinny, but I don't know about
• 41:42
  that one. Yeah. I mean, the whole - I mean, she's
• 41:46
  naturally skinny from not eating. Yeah, I know,
• 41:50
  I know. I mean, this is like beyond Kate Moss
• 41:52
  skinny. This is like - Yeah, Kate skinny is -
• 41:55
  I mean, Kate Moss was lithe. I mean, I think
• 41:58
  she probably could have stood to have eaten more,
• 42:01
  but I don't know if she's quite - Sure. Yeah.
• 42:05
  And, uh, Anno Mandrake from YouTube on YouTube
• 42:11
  says, can we get Trump a chat bot so he leaves
• 42:14
  the world alone? Yeah. Can somebody just like
• 42:17
  give him? That would be lovely. He's, he's like
• 42:19
  constantly, he's, he's not tweeting himself.
• 42:22
  Cause he, I think he has that girl, Natalie Harp
• 42:24
  that does it, that woman I should say, cause
• 42:26
  she's like 35 or 36. Um, she's, she's his like,
• 42:32
  his hands she's like constantly texting it like
• 42:35
  whatever his whims are she's the one that's tweeting
• 42:37
  them um that's like her job uh and maybe in the
• 42:44
  rumble chat says claude does tell me some important
• 42:46
  stuff and i do pay for it suspiciously it always
• 42:49
  asks me are you okay when i ask about epstein
• 42:52
  it doesn't want you to really that's weird maybe
• 42:58
  it thinks that you might be an epstein victim
• 43:03
  Huh I need to I really don't play around with
• 43:07
  my my AI as much as I should I literally use
• 43:11
  it for the purpose of Being like an assistant
• 43:14
  right like I have it aggregate like Do it do
• 43:18
  my leg work, right? Like Research blah blah blah
• 43:23
  Give me give me links that support it and then
• 43:26
  then I can do my own research from there That's
• 43:28
  as much as I use my my AI for or like summarize
• 43:31
  this this 12 page story into 250 words. So I
• 43:35
  can put it on TMI. Right. So then I can and then
• 43:38
  I can fact check the 250 words. Like that's that
• 43:41
  I use it for an assistant. It's like my unpaid
• 43:44
  shitty edge intern, my digital intern. That's
• 43:47
  all I do not talk with it because I don't I'm
• 43:49
  not interested in having AI friends or fighting
• 43:54
  with it. I don't know. Some people enjoy doing
• 43:55
  that. Yeah, they don't have psychosis. Some people
• 44:00
  just like to fight. Know but what concerns me
• 44:04
  Ted and I will move on is that is that as always
• 44:08
  the folks on Capitol Hill are always ten steps
• 44:12
  behind Silicon Valley and If you'd like the the
• 44:17
  ruling yesterday, right is that Meadow is gonna
• 44:19
  pay like 18 billion to settle with with different
• 44:22
  states attorneys general That they fucked with
• 44:28
  kids heads right with their algorithm. And they're
• 44:31
  going to make changes. 18 billion. Robbie thinks
• 44:34
  that's that's just a slap on the wrist that they're
• 44:37
  not really going to make any meaningful change.
• 44:41
  But yeah, I think the problem the problem here
• 44:44
  is it's not that it's that Congress is 10 steps
• 44:48
  behind. And our lawmakers are not making laws
• 44:51
  to to force them to make these changes. So we're
• 44:57
  still working on social media which became a
• 44:59
  thing 25 years ago 20 years ago AI is this fresh
• 45:04
  and we expect our 85 year old lawmakers to get
• 45:08
  a put their arms around this and Set up laws
• 45:11
  to protect vulnerable people. I don't think so
• 45:15
  So it'll be you know, it's we're gonna see a
• 45:19
  lot more people do horrible things to themselves
• 45:21
  and other people before Congress actually acts
• 45:25
  but That's it. But who knows? Maybe if you do
• 45:29
  enough like fake AI like topless Nancy Pelosi
• 45:33
  or something, maybe that will force them to change.
• 45:38
  Or you see enough AI AOCs topless or something
• 45:42
  that might that might force change. Yeah, that
• 45:45
  could do it. Yeah. Big booty AOC, AI big booty
• 45:49
  AOC. She might she might get pissed when she
• 45:52
  becomes president. So yeah. Yeah. All right.
• 46:02
  So this one hits close to home for the motherland
• 46:06
  for me in California. The U .S. government temporarily
• 46:09
  suspended official travel and consular activity
• 46:12
  in Mexicali after receiving intelligence about
• 46:16
  a possible armed attack by the Sinaloa cartel.
• 46:20
  The U .S. consulate in Tijuana warned Americans
• 46:22
  to avoid government buildings. Remain aware of
• 46:26
  their surroundings and seek shelter if violence
• 46:29
  erupts. That's always a good good call Ted Don't
• 46:33
  stand there don't just like stand in the middle
• 46:35
  of it Seek shelter, right? That's true. Reasonable.
• 46:39
  Very smart. Very smart the alert concerned Los
• 46:46
  Russos a criminal organization operating around
• 46:50
  Mexicali directly across the border from Calexico,
• 46:53
  California. According to reports, Los Russos
• 46:56
  may have been planning attacks against Mexican
• 46:59
  police and federal prosecutors in retaliation
• 47:03
  for a major drug seizure. Days earlier, Mexican
• 47:06
  authorities raided a property allegedly connected
• 47:08
  to the organization and confiscated approximately
• 47:11
  265 pounds of fentanyl pills. That's a lot of
• 47:15
  pills. That's a lot of fire. A fire a firearm
• 47:19
  just one weird and several vehicles. Officials
• 47:24
  estimated the seizure represented more than 4
• 47:28
  million potential doses. The operation replied
• 47:31
  or excuse me relied partly on intelligence supplied
• 47:35
  by the U .S. DEA. Los Russos is aligned with
• 47:39
  the faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, historically
• 47:41
  associated with Ishmael El Mayo Zimbada. The
• 47:46
  group reportedly controls trafficking routes
• 47:48
  around Mexicali and moves fentanyl, meth, coke,
• 47:52
  heroin, all into the U .S. Mexican President
• 47:55
  Claudia Scheinbaum acknowledged receiving information
• 47:58
  about a possible criminal threat, but said authorities
• 48:01
  had found no evidence of a specific or imminent
• 48:04
  danger to the public. Security patrols were nevertheless
• 48:07
  increased throughout Mexicali. The warning illustrates
• 48:10
  the uncomfortable rhythm of cartel enforcement.
• 48:13
  Authorities score a major seizure, they make
• 48:15
  a bust, traffickers threaten retaliation, and
• 48:19
  entire border cities brace for a response. Four
• 48:22
  million fentanyl doses may now be off the street,
• 48:26
  but the organization that planned to move them
• 48:28
  is apparently not. And Ted, our fearless DOD
• 48:37
  leader, Pete Hegseth, the brilliant Pete Hegseth.
• 48:41
  The Secretary of War. Old Petey there said last
• 48:46
  year. immediately upon taking office that he
• 48:50
  was going to declare war against the cartels.
• 48:53
  They are being treated as a terror organization,
• 48:56
  and he was immediately considering how we're
• 48:59
  going to send troops into Mexico. So we, you
• 49:04
  know, are going to invade Mexico. So now with
• 49:07
  this happening, now that the cartel is, I guess,
• 49:12
  threatening the American embassy and whatever
• 49:15
  down there, Is this going to be, is this a false
• 49:20
  flag or is this happening, Ted? Is this actually
• 49:22
  happening or is this a false flag in order for
• 49:25
  Pete Hegseth to get what he wants is just move
• 49:30
  the boys from Camp Pendleton just straight down,
• 49:32
  straight down into Mexico because they're already
• 49:34
  right there. Just send them. Well, I mean a false
• 49:37
  flag right means to me to it means like something
• 49:40
  that happens But that was basically staged and
• 49:44
  to make it look like someone else was responsible,
• 49:47
  right? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying I don't
• 49:49
  think anything's gonna happen here. I think this
• 49:53
  is just bullshit You know, there's not in other
• 49:57
  words. There is no threat at all. Nothing will
• 50:00
  occur That's what Claudia Scheinbaum says She's
• 50:03
  like, there's we don't have any credible evidence
• 50:05
  of that. But I'm on team Claudia here. I think
• 50:09
  nothing's gonna happen. Yeah. Well, the bust
• 50:12
  did happen. It's just the retaliation. The US
• 50:16
  is saying, we're putting out an alert. You got
• 50:19
  Americans cannot should not be in Mexicali. Get
• 50:22
  out of there. Like the American side is saying,
• 50:25
  well, danger red alert. Well, I mean, Claudia
• 50:28
  Scheinbaum is saying, I don't think so. Everything's
• 50:31
  fine. Relax. Yeah. So you think Claudia is the
• 50:35
  one to trust here? Well, I mean, come on, between
• 50:37
  Pete Hegseth and a random foreign leader I don't
• 50:40
  know anything about. Yeah, I'm going to go with
• 50:41
  a random foreign leader, obviously, you know.
• 50:44
  Well, she was a scientist. Right. Yeah, scientists
• 50:47
  don't lie. Yeah, they don't lie. She's Israeli,
• 50:54
  so that she's even more trustworthy. She's not
• 50:56
  Israeli. She's Mexican. She's Jewish. She's a
• 51:00
  dual citizen, isn't she? She's Jewish. I don't
• 51:02
  know that. I don't know. She's Jewish. I know
• 51:04
  that I don't know that she's a dual citizen,
• 51:06
  but she was born and raised in Mexico. There's
• 51:08
  there's quite a Are you sure she's Israeli? She's
• 51:13
  Jewish. That's what I saw. It's all the shoes
• 51:15
  a dual system I mean, she's Jewish. Yeah, but
• 51:17
  if she is really Jewish. Yeah, that is something
• 51:19
  different. I don't know and Peter Yes, thank
• 51:21
  you for your donation Peter says if if AI was
• 51:24
  any good it would fix your camera the it was
• 51:27
  The new the software that came with the brand
• 51:30
  new the the 4k camera was Was ai it was like
• 51:35
  ai controlled. Well, I mean she called um, she
• 51:41
  does not have israeli citizenship, um, and she
• 51:45
  and also she has Called for israel to end its
• 51:49
  genocide So there you go, so I would say she's
• 51:53
  not sus yeah, I don't i'm Yeah. And she she sent
• 51:58
  a couple flotillas to Cuba and she's cool. I
• 52:03
  think she's on the cool list. I think she's a
• 52:05
  cool kid. She's she is more in the vein of AMLO.
• 52:10
  I mean, she was like his basically his understudy
• 52:12
  her whole life. That's true. So I don't I don't
• 52:16
  I don't find her sus. This is where I found the
• 52:19
  AFP had a article saying that she was born in
• 52:23
  Europe and registered to Israel. That's just
• 52:26
  who's the AF really I don't suppose that that
• 52:29
  yeah, that's just not that's false. I don't think
• 52:32
  that's true. I Don't think that's right But remember
• 52:36
  Western media hates Claudia Scheinbaum because
• 52:39
  she's a socialist like Emma Yeah, she supports
• 52:42
  Israel. So me. She knows she does know she doesn't
• 52:45
  she said she's against Israel She's spoken out
• 52:48
  against the genocide. Yeah 100 % not all Jews
• 52:52
  love Israel. I understand this She's one of those.
• 52:58
  Yeah, she's one of those. In fact, in fact, on
• 53:01
  deprogram, we are about to have the the author
• 53:05
  of a new book called Anti Zionism. And he is
• 53:12
  Jewish. And let me find who the here it is. So
• 53:17
  he's the book is called Anti Zionism. We're going
• 53:20
  to be having him the third week of September.
• 53:23
  Benjamin Moser. Pulitzer Prize winning author
• 53:25
  he's going to come on to talk about anti -zionism
• 53:28
  a jewish history so So this is a bit about this
• 53:33
  will be very illuminating. I think for people
• 53:36
  who think that like jewish people Are often pro
• 53:40
  -israel. They're often they're often not Yeah,
• 53:43
  I mean by far the biggest opposition to the genocide
• 53:47
  In this, you know since 2000 in the united states
• 53:50
  has been Jewish groups. They have been the most
• 53:53
  active. They've been the biggest You know not
• 53:57
  in our name Right Jewish voice for peace and
• 54:01
  so on these guys have been awesome. So we've
• 54:04
  got to give them credit, man You can't fucking
• 54:05
  lump them all together. Yep. You're right. No,
• 54:08
  I stand ice I'm 100 % incorrect. So I appreciate
• 54:13
  that do a little fact check now She used to something
• 54:15
  about the fentanyl going across the border and
• 54:17
  maybe doing something about the immigration.
• 54:19
  That'd be awesome Well, she's cool. She's she's
• 54:23
  cool. I mean, she's trying to trying to work
• 54:26
  with Trump and I can imagine how hard Can you
• 54:29
  imagine? Yeah, seriously, he's trying to work
• 54:31
  with what she's such a retard And imagine Pete
• 54:35
  Hegseth imagine Pete Hegseth like he's trying
• 54:38
  to bully I'm sure and you guys can correct me
• 54:41
  if I'm wrong But I think Pete Hegseth when he
• 54:43
  took office and he realized Mexico's got a lady
• 54:46
  president I'm gonna bully this bitch. Yeah, he
• 54:50
  didn't know what to do. I promise you that went
• 54:53
  through his head that he looked at her and he's
• 54:55
  like, this little Jewish scientist lady, I'm
• 54:58
  gonna bully this woman. And I'm just gonna send
• 55:00
  troops to Mexico. What is she gonna do about
• 55:02
  it? I guarantee you it crossed his mind that
• 55:05
  he wouldn't he would have acted like that if
• 55:06
  I guarantee if it was like a man in office, I
• 55:09
  guarantee it. So I have a question, because I'm
• 55:13
  researching this lady because If you're wrong,
• 55:16
  always like to just kind of go through and just
• 55:17
  search things. It looks like she is pushing through
• 55:19
  digital ID. We got a real ID on all Mexican citizens.
• 55:24
  No, I can't. Well, you do realize that that's
• 55:27
  I'm surprised they don't already have it. Most
• 55:28
  countries do. Mexico's never a real country.
• 55:31
  The government controls a quarter of the nation.
• 55:35
  So that's well, that's much like the United States.
• 55:38
  Well, except the United States I have drug cartels
• 55:40
  have occupied more than half of the of the territory
• 55:43
  of the country So there's no but we have we have
• 55:45
  fucking we have fucking gangs. We have like fucking
• 55:48
  you know areas that are just completely like
• 55:53
  off the grid and that like having been born and
• 55:57
  raised in a border state and gone back and forth
• 56:00
  to Mexico like for much of my life And and not
• 56:05
  deep into Mexico It's There their health care
• 56:11
  has been great in my own totally their pharmacies
• 56:15
  are great Their doctors have been great everyone's
• 56:18
  and everyone's like chill and calm and friendly
• 56:21
  I'm not sure I would say drink the tap water,
• 56:24
  but that's not recommended But everything else
• 56:28
  I didn't I don't feel and I'm not talking about
• 56:30
  just staying at a resort area I mean, I mean
• 56:32
  I've explored, you know a couple hours from the
• 56:35
  border of California and Mexico I've explored
• 56:38
  like non get rural areas. I've never felt like
• 56:44
  I'm gonna get robbed. I mean, if anything, I
• 56:47
  was more scared that the Federali police might
• 56:49
  like see Americans like Asian girl gringo and
• 56:52
  black dude, and be like, and be like, okay, cough
• 56:57
  up cough up your cough up your bills, like hide
• 57:00
  your money. I've encountered the federales and,
• 57:03
  you know, I mean, I was worried about the same
• 57:05
  thing, but nothing happened. I mean, but that's
• 57:08
  basically all they do. But am I afraid of, you
• 57:11
  know, like some random cartel coming to kidnap
• 57:15
  me when I go to Mexico? No, I've never really
• 57:17
  had that fear. And I crossed the border a gazillion
• 57:21
  times between 18 and now, like a gazillion times.
• 57:25
  And I've never, I've never had, it's never been
• 57:28
  warranted. It's sketchier to walk through South
• 57:31
  Central. maybe not today, but back when I was
• 57:34
  growing up, but it's sketchier to walk through
• 57:37
  downtown LA right now. You know, eight o 'clock
• 57:41
  in the morning, downtown LA, you're at greater
• 57:43
  risk of harm walking through downtown Los Angeles
• 57:46
  than name any random place in Mexico. Throw a
• 57:50
  dart into Mexico. And I have tons and tons and
• 57:54
  tons of Mexican friends. Throw a dart on a map
• 57:57
  to Mexico and go there. You are... at much greater
• 58:00
  risk of bodily harm, injury, robbery, whatever
• 58:03
  death, imminent death, walking through downtown
• 58:05
  L .A. at midnight. Then you are random place.
• 58:12
  Yeah, I would agree with that. So I'm not so
• 58:16
  much worried about her having me kidnapped. If
• 58:20
  I go there, I'm more concerned about the fact
• 58:21
  that the border is wide open. All these dope
• 58:23
  keeps coming in. Her government refuses to do
• 58:25
  anything about it. I refuse to do anything about
• 58:31
  it, too. We refuse. Right. And I have some pretty
• 58:36
  interesting sources that have told me specifically
• 58:41
  that I mean, this we know this like there are
• 58:45
  X amount of drugs that come across the border
• 58:47
  deliberately and our government allows it. Yeah.
• 58:51
  Like it's a deliberate thing. They facilitate
• 58:53
  it. Yeah. So like it's it's They for nefarious
• 59:00
  reasons, obviously, our government allows it
• 59:02
  to happen. They know it's coming across the border.
• 59:06
  They're, quote unquote, failing to stop those
• 59:09
  scoundrels. Yeah, it's on purpose, Rob. Yeah,
• 59:13
  it's bullshit. Oh, no, so it's shown the jug
• 59:16
  of the American people. So that way, they'll
• 59:17
  reveal something I get. I give us the saying
• 59:21
  but to say this woman is a friend of the United
• 59:23
  States is a way She doesn't need to be a friend
• 59:26
  of the United States. She needs to be a friend
• 59:28
  to the Mexican people But is she? The Mexican
• 59:32
  people to decide well look at the metro collapse
• 59:35
  I mean that I mean there's all kinds of questions
• 59:37
  about know what happened none and to break down
• 59:40
  and love love Corruption allegations if so you
• 59:43
  will even say that there's an assassination against
• 59:46
  well look I'll say this that right right before
• 59:50
  AMLO handed her the torch They nationalized all
• 59:54
  of their like rare earth mines and stuff. They
• 59:57
  even pulled a deal I don't know if they've renegotiated
• 1:00:00
  the deal that they had with China, but China
• 1:00:02
  had a big company that was already digging rare
• 1:00:04
  earths there and AMLO in that time frame Right
• 1:00:09
  as he was stepping down nationalize those things
• 1:00:13
  for the American people Excuse me, Mexican people.
• 1:00:18
  I work for them or for the American people. That'd
• 1:00:20
  be great. No, it wasn't for the Americans. It
• 1:00:21
  was for the Mexican people, because he believed
• 1:00:24
  you know, this land was for all of the Mexicans
• 1:00:27
  and that you guys should benefit from it because
• 1:00:29
  you are the people of the land. So you should
• 1:00:32
  all collect a portion of what this land has to
• 1:00:35
  offer. So we sell it, we sell it as a country,
• 1:00:38
  not as a private entity selling it to love it.
• 1:00:41
  Love it. And then And then Claudia Scheinbaum
• 1:00:44
  came in, and she's doing the same thing. Like
• 1:00:47
  she's kept up. I don't think she's she's walked
• 1:00:50
  back any of the the plans that AMLO put in put
• 1:00:53
  in motion. So I think the Mexican people do like
• 1:00:58
  her. It's the cartels that don't like her because
• 1:01:01
  of bus like, like this. But the cartels don't
• 1:01:03
  like any authority. Yeah, they want to be able
• 1:01:06
  to do Yeah, they just want to be able to do it.
• 1:01:08
  Yeah, it's not a Claudia Scheinbaum thing. It's
• 1:01:11
  just they they They want autonomy obviously so
• 1:01:15
  but like any mafia wants to be left alone Like
• 1:01:19
  pick pick any italian, you know the gambino family
• 1:01:22
  in long island. They want to be left alone. They
• 1:01:24
  don't They want to do their recycling ted. I
• 1:01:28
  want to be alone. Yeah The gambino family just
• 1:01:32
  wants to do their auto parts and auto recycling
• 1:01:36
  leave them alone Leave let them be in peace the
• 1:01:38
  gambino's. Okay. Yeah, what's left of them? Anyway,
• 1:01:41
  haven't they suffered enough? That's right. So
• 1:01:44
  same thing with the poor Sinaloa cartel. They
• 1:01:47
  just want to be left alone. That's all. It's
• 1:01:49
  not it's not a thing. It's what we all want.
• 1:01:53
  Yeah. Again, libertarianism live, let live. And
• 1:01:56
  this is not it. I think the Mexicans actually
• 1:01:59
  do really love Claudia Scheinbaum, actually.
• 1:02:01
  And they they really supported her when she sent
• 1:02:04
  the flotillas to Cuba. They like people were
• 1:02:08
  her her her polls went through the roof when
• 1:02:11
  that happened. They were really happy about that.
• 1:02:14
  So yeah, I, she did it once, but it doesn't matter.
• 1:02:19
  They were happy about it as my point. Well, then
• 1:02:22
  do it again. The Mexicans are happy about it.
• 1:02:25
  You're going to need to do it. And then, and
• 1:02:27
  then beg and then, and then, uh, just go up to
• 1:02:30
  just, uh, call Pete and said, Hey Pete, if you
• 1:02:32
  don't like it, come down here and stop us. We
• 1:02:35
  just lost the war to Iran. Odds are we're going
• 1:02:37
  to take Mexico either. Maybe they get Texas back.
• 1:02:41
  Maybe they can annex California. That would be
• 1:02:43
  a net benefit for both countries. They could
• 1:02:45
  have they could they could have Texas as far
• 1:02:46
  as I'm concerned. They have California Yeah,
• 1:02:50
  so I I just think this is like with with this
• 1:02:54
  whole new story of alleged threats in in Mexico
• 1:02:58
  or whatever I Yeah, when I when you read this
• 1:03:05
  and you're like Claudia Scheinbaum says it's
• 1:03:06
  not happening, but the US consulate is like this
• 1:03:09
  is happening Take it with a grain of salt. Always.
• 1:03:20
  Okay. President Trump wants to lower hamburger
• 1:03:24
  prices, which I'm all in favor of, by temporarily
• 1:03:27
  allowing up to 300 ,000 metric tons of foreign
• 1:03:30
  ground beef products into the United States without
• 1:03:34
  the usual tariffs, which I'm not. In favor of
• 1:03:37
  trump says exporters have commuted have committed
• 1:03:40
  to selling the beef at 25 below current market
• 1:03:44
  prices But the white house hasn't identified
• 1:03:47
  the supplying countries or I mean he kind of
• 1:03:51
  has he said it's argentina Or explain that how
• 1:03:54
  that discount would reach supermarket shoppers
• 1:03:58
  cattle Cattlemen in the United States are furious.
• 1:04:01
  The National Cattlemen's Beef Association warns
• 1:04:04
  that flooding the market with cheap imports will
• 1:04:07
  depress prices and discourage ranchers from building
• 1:04:10
  the depleted herd. Republican lawmakers from
• 1:04:14
  Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, and other agricultural
• 1:04:17
  states are against this idea. The administration
• 1:04:20
  says that consumers need help. The U .S. began
• 1:04:23
  this year with about 86 million cattle and calves
• 1:04:27
  That's the smallest number since the early 50s
• 1:04:30
  and obviously we have a much bigger population
• 1:04:32
  now. Ground, however, of course, we have more
• 1:04:35
  vegans and stuff too. Ground beef is approaching
• 1:04:38
  seven bucks a pound due to drought. Feed is costly,
• 1:04:42
  strong demand, and restrictions on Mexican beef.
• 1:04:45
  Economists say imports will restrain further
• 1:04:48
  price increases but are unlikely to produce the
• 1:04:51
  promised 25 % cut. Food safety is also a factor.
• 1:04:55
  Trump previously expanded the low tariff quote
• 1:04:58
  for Argentine beef, making Argentina one possible
• 1:05:02
  supplier. China recently rejected a 22 -ton shipment
• 1:05:06
  of Argentine beef, however, after Chinese inspectors
• 1:05:10
  found chlorophenicol, a prohibited veterinary
• 1:05:16
  antibiotic. China also restricts beef produced
• 1:05:20
  using hormone growth promoters. Argentina banned
• 1:05:23
  the growth hormone RBST in March, partly to protect
• 1:05:28
  access to China and other foreign markets. There's
• 1:05:31
  no evidence that the rejected shipment is going
• 1:05:33
  to the United States or that all Argentine beef
• 1:05:35
  has the same issues. Imported beef would still
• 1:05:39
  have to satisfy U .S. requirements. But ranchers
• 1:05:42
  are furious. And what's the point, given the
• 1:05:47
  fact that probably consumers will never see lower
• 1:05:49
  prices as a result? in the long term. That's
• 1:05:53
  what they mean, right? Yeah. Well, I think, yeah,
• 1:05:56
  or even at all, because, I mean, what will happen
• 1:05:59
  is that the lower prices will be baked into the
• 1:06:03
  wholesale side, but there's no reason to believe
• 1:06:06
  that supermarkets, which already operate on very
• 1:06:09
  low margins, would voluntarily cut their prices
• 1:06:13
  on the retail side. So there's a couple of angles
• 1:06:20
  here, Ted. I know we're short on time, but there's
• 1:06:25
  the tinfoil hat angle that says, this is all
• 1:06:29
  a conspiracy to try to force us into eating this
• 1:06:32
  lab -grown, turn us vegan basically, make us
• 1:06:35
  Californian, and turn us into eating these soybean
• 1:06:39
  lab -grown fake meat. Oh, we made fake blood
• 1:06:44
  for our fake meat, so it feels more like you're
• 1:06:46
  eating meat. There's that then there's the environmental
• 1:06:51
  angle where it's like, okay well they want us
• 1:06:54
  to eat less meat less cattle because Because
• 1:06:58
  cows take a lot of room and a lot of resources
• 1:07:01
  to get that state to get that hamburger and with
• 1:07:04
  climate change Okay, then they're so this you
• 1:07:08
  know, there are people that say that the the
• 1:07:09
  beef shortage is Is not real. It's why wouldn't
• 1:07:16
  it doesn't really make any sense Well, they're
• 1:07:19
  saying that this is like they're It's man -made
• 1:07:22
  is what they're saying. It's like why do we have?
• 1:07:25
  Less cows now than in the 1950s when we have
• 1:07:28
  like three times the population from all we have
• 1:07:30
  a lot of people who are you know a lot a lot
• 1:07:33
  of people be um You know, they be they be eating.
• 1:07:38
  They're not eating as much beef as they used
• 1:07:39
  to right I mean, yeah, like I don't eat a whole
• 1:07:41
  lot of beef I do I love beef but But I just don't
• 1:07:47
  eat a lot of it. Like I try to eat more chicken
• 1:07:49
  and fish but But I don't think that's like then
• 1:07:53
  I don't know is beef still the number one Animal
• 1:07:57
  product in America, or has it become chicken?
• 1:08:00
  Oh, I don't know But I know we eat an obscene
• 1:08:04
  obscene amount of chicken in America really I
• 1:08:09
  Forget what that number I I saw the last year.
• 1:08:12
  I remember reading an article about Yeah, we
• 1:08:15
  eat more chicken a lot more the average American
• 1:08:19
  eats about a hundred and eighteen pounds a year
• 1:08:23
  of chicken compared to eighty four of beef a
• 1:08:28
  Hundred and eighteen pounds of chicken. That's
• 1:08:31
  a lot of chickens, man. That's a big that's a
• 1:08:33
  big fat ass chicken Yeah, we are we are number
• 1:08:36
  ten on rumble right now boys. Whoo We're number
• 1:08:40
  five That's maybe why The software is not cooperating
• 1:08:50
  so you know it is what it is but at least I have
• 1:08:52
  a camera that that functions Rather have the
• 1:08:55
  old one. But anyway, what do you make of all
• 1:08:57
  of this Ted? Like should should Trump bring?
• 1:09:02
  foreign Beef into our more you know, I'm a protectionist
• 1:09:06
  like Robbie. I think we should be always protecting
• 1:09:09
  our our local Producers now look if American
• 1:09:14
  If this was an exploitative business and the
• 1:09:18
  cattlemen were raking in billions and everything
• 1:09:20
  was rocking and nobody can afford meat I might
• 1:09:23
  have a different view, but that's not the case
• 1:09:26
  What's I mean, it's very very rough for them
• 1:09:28
  to make ends meet and they need so my recommendation
• 1:09:32
  would be let's protect this industry You know
• 1:09:36
  if you look if you want to subsidize Americans
• 1:09:38
  and you can have the government Contact like
• 1:09:42
  the major grocery stores chains and who are also
• 1:09:45
  suffering and say hey, we're gonna have um, Oh,
• 1:09:48
  you know, we're gonna give you a discount We're
• 1:09:50
  gonna have government coupons for beef. We can
• 1:09:52
  get we can do that So, you know, we're choosing
• 1:09:56
  we don't there's a lot of different ways to skin
• 1:09:58
  this cat. We're choosing You know to do it this
• 1:10:01
  way. Um, look the truth is this is about trump
• 1:10:06
  Curing favor with his ass boy malay And that's
• 1:10:12
  what this is about. This is about bribing the
• 1:10:15
  Argentines. This is nothing to do. Their economy
• 1:10:20
  is like, they went, so they went way down, then
• 1:10:24
  they started going up under Javier Malay the
• 1:10:26
  last couple of years, but now their economy is
• 1:10:29
  a mess again with his, what does he call it?
• 1:10:33
  Anarcho -capitalism? Is that what he calls it?
• 1:10:37
  Yeah. Yeah, it's I mean, it's literally insane
• 1:10:40
  what he's doing to them. I mean, he's going to
• 1:10:43
  destroy Argentina. I mean, Argentina had hyperinflation
• 1:10:46
  and it did need to get under control. But it's
• 1:10:49
  like, you know, this is like hyper austerity.
• 1:10:53
  Yeah, I mean, there's going to be the reason
• 1:10:55
  I'm psyched about it is there's going to be a
• 1:10:57
  communist revolution there. It's going to be
• 1:11:00
  hammer and sickles over Buenos Aires, which is
• 1:11:02
  going to be great. Can't wait. We're going to
• 1:11:05
  have Madonna be Evita again. Advocate. Don't
• 1:11:11
  cry for me Argentina. Yeah, so I I think you're
• 1:11:18
  right is that he's trying to it's this is actually
• 1:11:22
  less Trump Helping American cattle ranchers and
• 1:11:27
  more. No, he's fucking he's fucking them trying
• 1:11:29
  to help He says he's trying to help American
• 1:11:32
  consumers. Basically doesn't give a shit doesn't
• 1:11:34
  give a shit about The cattle and American ranchers.
• 1:11:37
  Yeah, I mean, I mean I care about these I care
• 1:11:42
  about these ranchers I mean these are these are
• 1:11:44
  Americans and they they work hard and it's like
• 1:11:47
  these jobs need to be protected and they're providing
• 1:11:49
  Vital food, you know newt, you know vital food.
• 1:11:52
  I mean, it's ridiculous that we would not protect
• 1:11:55
  them I mean that should be a top priority for
• 1:11:57
  the u .s. Government. What is well, why don't
• 1:12:00
  we why did we be look if people dig into how
• 1:12:04
  much we as a as a government subsidize the corn
• 1:12:09
  industry, right? And like with ethanol, shit
• 1:12:13
  tons of I mean, and there's so much surplus corn
• 1:12:17
  product, whatever it gets turned into surplus.
• 1:12:20
  Why can't we apply the same? subsidies and whatever
• 1:12:25
  well we could I mean there's a lot of different
• 1:12:27
  things you could do like for example if you wanted
• 1:12:29
  to buy more beef from these farmers I mean from
• 1:12:34
  these cattlemen you could do that and you could
• 1:12:35
  like for example export it to countries where
• 1:12:39
  they're having where they have a shortage right
• 1:12:42
  so we could be like we're like we did with wheat
• 1:12:44
  like where we sold wheat American wheat or to
• 1:12:48
  the Soviet Union at times even during at the
• 1:12:51
  height of the Cold War. I buy I buy my beef.
• 1:12:55
  By by the side, right from from a farmer, like
• 1:12:58
  from a local Virginia farm. And I store it. Like
• 1:13:02
  that's that's Yeah, like one of those big meat
• 1:13:05
  freezers. Yeah, I have a big freezer. That's
• 1:13:08
  like a garage or whatever. You know, I'm frankly,
• 1:13:13
  I want one of those. I get it. I'm a doomsday
• 1:13:16
  air. I have like, what like I'm I Zombie apocalypse
• 1:13:20
  or doomsday, whatever I I'm prepared and the
• 1:13:24
  meat is that's how I buy because I don't trust
• 1:13:26
  the grocery store one because again the cool
• 1:13:29
  act which hasn't been Revisited which allows
• 1:13:34
  us as the consumer to know the source of our
• 1:13:37
  our beef You know that right? Like it the cool
• 1:13:40
  act died a couple of years ago and Congress has
• 1:13:42
  been fighting back and forth about it here and
• 1:13:44
  there not often enough But they need to revive
• 1:13:48
  that thing so we can see on the label, this beef
• 1:13:51
  came from Argentina, this beef came from, I don't
• 1:13:54
  know, Colombia, whoever, wherever it came from.
• 1:13:57
  This is US American beef, like grade A USDA American
• 1:14:00
  beef. I want to know where my beef comes from.
• 1:14:03
  And because the COOL Act expired and hasn't been
• 1:14:06
  brought back up, hasn't been brought back to
• 1:14:09
  the floor, I buy from The local farm in Virginia
• 1:14:16
  One of the laws I would recommend that we change
• 1:14:19
  as we ease up on the restrictions from allowing
• 1:14:24
  the farmers to sell direct -to -consumer right
• 1:14:27
  now as the laws exist in in America the federal
• 1:14:31
  law same same thing is like milk like they don't
• 1:14:33
  allow us to go buy milk from Say like the Amish
• 1:14:38
  right or the whatever Pennsylvania Dutch or whatever
• 1:14:40
  Farmer Well, they yeah, the raw milk is like
• 1:14:46
  a crime like you can't take it across state borders,
• 1:14:49
  technically Well, I mean who's oh, I see but
• 1:14:52
  you can buy it locally Yeah, but but you can't
• 1:14:55
  you can't X they can't they can't scale their
• 1:14:59
  business. Let's say if you're Okay, um and the
• 1:15:02
  same thing with local cow that's the whole point
• 1:15:05
  of pasteurization, right? It's for it's for it
• 1:15:07
  lasts longer It holds um, it keeps and it kills
• 1:15:10
  the whatever micro bugs that are in there. But
• 1:15:13
  anyway the bacteria, um Man jdc left the chat.
• 1:15:16
  He'd be able to tell us what all that stuff is.
• 1:15:18
  But anyway the with with the beef problem there
• 1:15:22
  the stupid federal laws around this is that only
• 1:15:26
  only ranchers if they butcher their If they have
• 1:15:30
  on their grounds, right? On their grounds, if
• 1:15:33
  they have like butchering facilities, that's
• 1:15:36
  the only time you would be allowed to sell direct
• 1:15:39
  to consumer. If you're just a cattle rancher
• 1:15:42
  and you don't have, and remember these butchering
• 1:15:44
  facilities have to meet like FDA regulations.
• 1:15:47
  So you have to have like industrial level butchering
• 1:15:50
  facilities, right? Then you can sell direct to
• 1:15:53
  consumer. But if you're, a smaller cattle rancher
• 1:15:56
  and you don't have these industrial grade machines
• 1:15:59
  to butcher, then you can't sell your product
• 1:16:03
  to direct to consumer. So if you're a small time
• 1:16:06
  rancher, like trying to make ends meet, you're
• 1:16:08
  a family farmer, you're not going to be able
• 1:16:10
  to do that because of existing American food
• 1:16:15
  laws. And it's just over complicating. So if
• 1:16:20
  you want to help the American consumer and want
• 1:16:22
  to help the American farmer, I would say the
• 1:16:24
  U .S. Congress needs to loosen up some of these
• 1:16:27
  old ass antiquated food laws that, you know,
• 1:16:32
  maybe you don't have to have a thirty thousand
• 1:16:35
  dollar whatever XYZ machine that chops up the
• 1:16:38
  cow for you or whatever. Sure. I agree with that.
• 1:16:41
  Obviously, who could disagree? But I mean, I
• 1:16:43
  do. I also think that you got to look at the
• 1:16:46
  You know the um You've got to look at I mean
• 1:16:50
  in this particular case, you know cattlemen have
• 1:16:53
  been hurting now for a while They've been complaining
• 1:16:55
  that they can't get enough money hurting with
• 1:16:57
  a u not h e r right? Yes, exactly. You know,
• 1:17:00
  they they've been in great pain and like um,
• 1:17:03
  it's weird to me that the government is like
• 1:17:06
  like gonna make their lives worse, especially
• 1:17:08
  because These are red state industries manila,
• 1:17:11
  right? I mean and so so it's this administration
• 1:17:15
  You would just naturally think Would be like
• 1:17:19
  amenable and interested in in protecting these
• 1:17:22
  industries and yet they're not Yeah, um It's
• 1:17:29
  depressing what our food system looks like and
• 1:17:33
  this is something that would help financially
• 1:17:35
  and for The the food shortage and crises that
• 1:17:39
  we have in this country and congress is failing
• 1:17:41
  to act again the cool act would be a uh, one
• 1:17:45
  of one of the one of the bills that I Specifically
• 1:17:48
  have been following because you you guys know
• 1:17:50
  like i'm I watch the food Do you think this is
• 1:17:52
  gonna do you think this will I mean this could
• 1:17:54
  I mean look this is an idea um trump floats a
• 1:17:58
  lot of ideas and you know, they don't all Come
• 1:18:01
  to pass to say the least right? I mean, do you
• 1:18:03
  think this is one of those things where it could
• 1:18:06
  just end up? being like, ah, yeah, we're not
• 1:18:08
  going to do that because the cattlemen are pissed
• 1:18:10
  and you know, they're I mean, it's not just the
• 1:18:13
  cattlemen themselves. I mean, they have like,
• 1:18:15
  you know, they have people are who are not cattlemen
• 1:18:18
  are sympathetic to cattlemen. Americans love
• 1:18:21
  agriculture. They love farmers. They like our
• 1:18:23
  own people. Yeah. We even if you live in New
• 1:18:27
  York City, you care about those people. So I
• 1:18:30
  mean, you should see like at the green market
• 1:18:31
  when the farmers come in, you know, people are
• 1:18:34
  so happy to see them. So it's cool. So I just
• 1:18:39
  know I think Trump is gonna do this he's gonna
• 1:18:41
  flood the the American beef market with Argentine
• 1:18:44
  beef and Javier Malay, this is gonna help Javier
• 1:18:48
  Malay and he'll because Javier Malay needs to
• 1:18:51
  stabilize his reckless behavior there and You
• 1:18:56
  know get their peso straightened out So he can
• 1:19:01
  run for office again And because he's He's he's
• 1:19:06
  fucked too though So I I think that's really
• 1:19:09
  what's gonna happen. So I think I think Trump
• 1:19:11
  is gonna sacrifice the handful of American cattlemen
• 1:19:14
  In order doesn't care about them. Fuck them.
• 1:19:17
  No. No, he's gonna help heavier Malay and that
• 1:19:20
  way So it's like basically he's it's heavy Argentina
• 1:19:27
  is the beef equivalent of Israel Yes, he wants
• 1:19:32
  to Trump wants to be the de facto leader of Argentina
• 1:19:37
  by way of Javier Millet. So he needs to keep
• 1:19:41
  Javier Millet in office. And the only way he
• 1:19:43
  can see doing that is by helping Javier Millet
• 1:19:46
  straighten out his economy. And then Javier Millet
• 1:19:50
  is going to run. He's going to run on this campaign
• 1:19:54
  of like, hey, it's better to dance with the devil.
• 1:19:56
  You know, me, the anarcho -capitalist than whoever
• 1:20:01
  is going to run against him. I think that's what's
• 1:20:03
  going to happen. It's crazy though. I have a
• 1:20:07
  little bit of housekeeping to do real quick because
• 1:20:09
  I just, I think if I blocked the second person
• 1:20:11
  I've ever blocked in the history of this show.
• 1:20:15
  Wow. So I am a free speech guy through and through
• 1:20:20
  and Steve, this is for you. I have decided you,
• 1:20:23
  sir, are a pussy. You are a coward and you suck.
• 1:20:27
  You are a waste of oxygen. Let me explain to
• 1:20:31
  you why I blocked you because just in case you're
• 1:20:33
  still watching. You can come after me anytime
• 1:20:36
  that you want. You spammed my emails last night
• 1:20:37
  with like 30 emails calling me a retard and a
• 1:20:39
  failure of a father. Fine. Fair enough. But you
• 1:20:42
  start coming after me saying, did you want my
• 1:20:44
  son's head on a plate? You sir, are crossing
• 1:20:47
  a line. Go fuck yourself. And if I ever see -
• 1:20:53
  Are they harassing you personally? Yeah. And
• 1:20:54
  if I ever see - Oh, that's different. If I ever
• 1:20:57
  see you on deep program, I will block you there
• 1:20:59
  too. So the best thing you can do is shut your
• 1:21:01
  whore mouth and go back to the corner from which
• 1:21:04
  you respond. And just to like that you actually
• 1:21:07
  matter. Goodbye. Okay. So there, yeah. Robbie
• 1:21:11
  doesn't really, people say some mean things to
• 1:21:13
  him sometimes. Don't be fucking with people's
• 1:21:17
  kids. And like Robbie seriously is in this week
• 1:21:21
  of all weeks. Is in no place to be tested to
• 1:21:25
  have his patients Bobby is not in the mood this
• 1:21:27
  week. No, he's not But there is that fine line
• 1:21:30
  Ted. I think you and I have been in the media
• 1:21:32
  I mean this is this is a newer world for Robbie.
• 1:21:35
  Obviously he came out of like a hospital world.
• 1:21:39
  Yeah Ted and I have been in Well, now he wants
• 1:21:42
  to put that guy in the hospital. So it kind of
• 1:21:45
  all comes full circle But Ted and I again between
• 1:21:48
  Ted and I I don't know how many years so I'm
• 1:21:51
  about 20 years in media, how many years for you,
• 1:21:54
  Ted? Wow, this is so, I mean, since I was 15,
• 1:22:02
  so 40. Yeah, 47, 48. Let's round it to 50 -20.
• 1:22:09
  So between us there's 70 years of media experience
• 1:22:11
  between me and Ted. We've seen it and heard it
• 1:22:14
  all. We've had the stalkers. We've had the good
• 1:22:17
  stalkers that that want to kill us because they
• 1:22:19
  love us and the bad stalkers that because they
• 1:22:22
  hate us. Genuinely truly hate. But this is all
• 1:22:26
  new to Robbie and this is not the week to do
• 1:22:29
  that to test him and it truly is a different
• 1:22:32
  it's. I don't care if you're making comments
• 1:22:34
  like chatting or leaving comments in the yeah
• 1:22:37
  if you think you're being cute whatever whatever
• 1:22:39
  we don't care don't we really don't care we really
• 1:22:43
  really but when you start going attacking somebody
• 1:22:48
  personally and chasing down their their finding
• 1:22:51
  their emails or harassing their family or bring
• 1:22:54
  you know that's like that won't be tolerated
• 1:22:58
  that's some bullshit that's that too or being
• 1:23:00
  cruel Yeah, like that's just that's just too
• 1:23:02
  much. There's a fine line between talking shit
• 1:23:04
  and harassing. Well, if you're harassing Robbie's
• 1:23:10
  and we're not sometimes the line's not not fine,
• 1:23:14
  but sometimes it's like really clear. But if
• 1:23:17
  you go to my family. Yeah, that's the line. And
• 1:23:20
  then maybe you start saying, especially his head.
• 1:23:22
  No, your son is an evil retard for wanting to
• 1:23:25
  join the military and all this other stuff. But
• 1:23:28
  listen, I'm more than happy to debate anybody.
• 1:23:30
  Hey, in that case, I'm married to an evil retard.
• 1:23:33
  Well, you're colonized. I'm colonized. These
• 1:23:36
  are two different things. Any time you want to
• 1:23:39
  take a shot at me, go ahead. I don't care. But
• 1:23:42
  I'm just putting you on notice. You go after
• 1:23:43
  my family. I'm not going to tolerate it. So congratulations,
• 1:23:47
  Steve. You're now the second person. And three
• 1:23:50
  years to ever get banned. So enjoy. So there
• 1:23:54
  you go. So that's right. That's that. That does
• 1:23:56
  it for Thursday. So don't don't. This is like
• 1:24:00
  this is like, you know, Robbie, this is he's
• 1:24:03
  he he shares this home with Manila and I. It's
• 1:24:05
  like, don't come into our home and be disrespectful.
• 1:24:09
  Right. Well, you can't I mean, you can criticize.
• 1:24:12
  We don't. Yes, but you can but do so in a, you
• 1:24:17
  know, in a forthright, but. respectful way. I
• 1:24:20
  mean, that's what we do here. We did we disagree
• 1:24:22
  with each other in a respectful way. Things were
• 1:24:25
  spicy yesterday. No, not yesterday. You weren't
• 1:24:28
  here. Yesterday was silent. We had great numbers
• 1:24:31
  two days ago. Yeah. So there you go. Say what
• 1:24:36
  you need to say but don't don't cross the line
• 1:24:39
  and bring in families who who are choosing to
• 1:24:41
  not be this is why I don't like bring I don't
• 1:24:44
  ever let my kids on Yeah, I don't talk about
• 1:24:46
  my family. I don't name them. I don't yeah for
• 1:24:49
  this reason. I'm the same way Yeah, and I know
• 1:24:52
  that they didn't choose this shit. Yeah, this
• 1:24:54
  is like this life Yeah, yeah, so they didn't
• 1:24:57
  choose and and and I made clear to my husband
• 1:25:00
  when when he met me the same I said the same
• 1:25:02
  thing was like I'm Never I'm not gonna show your
• 1:25:05
  picture. I'm not so don't don't think like oh,
• 1:25:07
  I'm hiding that I'm married to you No, you know
• 1:25:10
  there was there was a lady protecting you actually
• 1:25:13
  at an alt weekly in New York New Yorkers will
• 1:25:16
  know who I'm talking about and she used to write
• 1:25:19
  a column about her dating her sexing dating life
• 1:25:23
  and so and literally like mentioned like the
• 1:25:26
  names of the dudes and like so like you I mean,
• 1:25:29
  of course in fairness, you did know this when
• 1:25:32
  you started Going out with her but I mean, I
• 1:25:35
  mean it must have just been like holy shit like,
• 1:25:38
  you know, like You know, that's her stick Like
• 1:25:41
  I might literally like get a comment like next
• 1:25:44
  week in the paper about how I don't lick her
• 1:25:46
  pussy right or something You know, I mean if
• 1:25:48
  that's her stick and and people widely knew that
• 1:25:51
  then yeah Well, they did but I just remember
• 1:25:55
  thinking wow, that's like more that's like just
• 1:25:59
  a level of exposure that I don't think many people
• 1:26:05
  would sign up for, you know? Well, yeah, that's
• 1:26:08
  not my thing. And that's why I seldom ever post
• 1:26:11
  on social media. It's just because like my kids
• 1:26:14
  didn't ask to be born to a lady that, you know,
• 1:26:17
  worked in news. They didn't. My husband, you
• 1:26:22
  know, he knew I'm going to do my best to keep
• 1:26:24
  him out of, you know, same thing. But when when
• 1:26:27
  people discovered that I was like getting married
• 1:26:29
  or whatever, they try to track down who he was
• 1:26:32
  too. What? Yeah, yeah. They just wanted to know
• 1:26:35
  because I wouldn't answer and show show his photo.
• 1:26:39
  I want to know all sorts of things, but I shouldn't
• 1:26:41
  know them. They're not my they're not for me
• 1:26:42
  to know. Yeah, I'm the person in media, not my
• 1:26:46
  husband, not my mom. Like, oh, God, Savannah
• 1:26:49
  Guthrie. Remember, Savannah brought her mom on
• 1:26:54
  the show a lot. Oh, did she? Yeah. I wonder.
• 1:26:58
  I mean, I still I do wonder why They chose her
• 1:27:01
  of all people. Oh, what a horrible. But anyway,
• 1:27:06
  that is an example in the worst way of how. Crazy
• 1:27:12
  people can be that you don't know who's watching
• 1:27:16
  is my point, right? And so I try not to bring
• 1:27:21
  this is why I try not to bring in my loved ones,
• 1:27:24
  because they they didn't choose the media life.
• 1:27:29
  But they choose to stand by me despite the hardships
• 1:27:32
  of media life You know and same for you Ted like
• 1:27:36
  yeah, that's true like no, I'm sure people know
• 1:27:39
  who his dad is Your name is not fuck with me.
• 1:27:41
  Don't fuck with them. Yeah, right like your name
• 1:27:45
  RAL Not yeah, I mean there are others but yeah,
• 1:27:50
  not that really I don't know. It's not a very
• 1:27:53
  it's not a super common name That's not a common
• 1:27:55
  name. So I'm sure and you've been a cartoonist
• 1:27:58
  for so long. I'm sure they know you're, you know,
• 1:28:01
  that your son is your son. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:28:03
  Yeah. So, you know, we kind of can't can't avoid
• 1:28:07
  that. No. But leave leave families out of this.
• 1:28:11
  If you're gonna talk shit. Leave families out
• 1:28:13
  of it. Don't don't do what Trump did. How about
• 1:28:16
  that? Where about what? Like killing Ayatollah
• 1:28:21
  Khomeini's family. Okay, yeah. Yeah, well his
• 1:28:26
  eight -year -old granddaughter didn't know what
• 1:28:28
  reagan did right killing kaddafi's daughter They
• 1:28:32
  didn't do anything Ayatollah Khamenei's eight
• 1:28:35
  -year -old granddaughter had nothing to do with
• 1:28:37
  this shit. No Why why did you kill her? That
• 1:28:40
  is correct. So if you're if you're harassing
• 1:28:43
  Robbie's family, then you're pulling a trump.
• 1:28:45
