Earth Shakes and Law Breaks · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:01
  Hello, good morning. Welcome. I am
• 0:03
  Samuel Trapp. This
• 0:06
  is International Flavor. You are
• 0:08
  listening to Dam Radio. I'm damn glad to
• 0:11
  have you.
• 0:12
  Uh
• 0:13
  let's see here.
• 0:15
  I suppose the biggest uh
• 0:17
  >> [sighs]
• 0:18
  >> problems that we got these days are uh
• 0:21
  the world's ending. I don't know if
• 0:22
  you're aware of this, but the uh world
• 0:25
  is coming to an end.
• 0:26
  And uh this is uh
• 0:29
  This is horrifying. We're all going to
• 0:31
  die. We should all run around like
• 0:33
  Chicken Little
• 0:34
  even now, and uh
• 0:38
  talk about the notable
• 0:40
  >> [clears throat]
• 0:41
  >> earthquakes taking over the planet this
• 0:44
  morning.
• 0:45
  7.5
• 0:46
  23 km southeast of Yuma, Venezuela. 7.5
• 0:53
  at uh 15:05 Pacific Time.
• 0:57
  At the Universal Time coordinates of
• 0:59
  22:05.
• 1:01
  That's a good image mean for those of
• 1:03
  you. A major shallow earthquake 10 km
• 1:07
  down is all.
• 1:10
  That's depressing. So, we got Venezuela,
• 1:13
  Japan, we got Northern California. You
• 1:16
  know, uh when, by the way, are we all
• 1:19
  going to die because Yellowstone erupts,
• 1:21
  one of the largest volcanoes on the
• 1:23
  planet that is overdue by about 100,000
• 1:27
  years. So, these are things to lay awake
• 1:29
  at night and think about as the lava
• 1:32
  rolls over you baking you instantly to a
• 1:37
  crisp. 164 dead outside of
• 1:43
  uh
• 1:44
  Yuma, Venezuela. And I was just planning
• 1:47
  on going there on vacation. Geez.
• 1:50
  How frustrating is that? Can't go there.
• 1:53
  7.2
• 1:56
  in It occurred almost immediately before
• 1:59
  the 7.5 event also in Venezuela. This
• 2:03
  one 24 km east north northeast of San
• 2:07
  Felipe.
• 2:09
  Uh
• 2:10
  just like minutes before. Uh a whole
• 2:13
  minute before.
• 2:14
  So, this is not good. Another one.
• 2:17
  Third 6.9
• 2:19
  on the old scale of Richter. Wonder who
• 2:22
  that guy was. We should find pictures of
• 2:24
  him and throw stuff at him cuz he's
• 2:26
  stressing us out.
• 2:28
  Uh 30 km east northeast of Kuji, Japan
• 2:33
  at
• 2:34
  6.9 at probably a half an hour after the
• 2:39
  uh
• 2:40
  Venezuela strong offshore
• 2:43
  near coastal Japan event. So, what does
• 2:46
  that mean? Means another one occurred in
• 2:48
  California.
• 2:50
  This was a 5.6 11 km north of Redwood
• 2:54
  Valley, California. That's a pretty area
• 2:58
  up there. Don't be Don't be Venezuela
• 3:00
  Don't be
• 3:01
  earthquake Venezuela uh
• 3:04
  uh destroying our redwoods up there.
• 3:06
  That's a pretty spot. You know where you
• 3:08
  can go drive through the one tree? You
• 3:10
  can drive right through it.
• 3:11
  And that's very pretty. Redwoods are are
• 3:14
  are very beautiful tree.
• 3:16
  And that one occurred
• 3:19
  um yesterday
• 3:22
  8:10 a.m. Pacific time and uh probably
• 3:25
  about uh six six seven hours before
• 3:30
  the Venezuela northern California
• 3:33
  Mendocino County.
• 3:35
  Not San Francisco or LA, but you know,
• 3:38
  still
• 3:39
  a California quake. Another one. Four
• 3:43
  uh on the scale of Richter
• 3:45
  uh remaining seismically active in Papua
• 3:49
  New Guinea and Kokopo area. Another
• 3:53
  several [clears throat] get this.
• 3:55
  Normal ring of fire they they call this
• 3:57
  normal. Normal ring of fire activity.
• 4:00
  Wonder if Johnny Cash is a spinning and
• 4:02
  is singing in his grave when they stole
• 4:05
  his music and called that the Ring of
• 4:06
  Fire. Peru, Mexico, Chile, Greece,
• 4:09
  Philippines, Indonesia, Alaska, Hawaii,
• 4:11
  and Oregon offshore.
• 4:14
  The Venezuela situation of course is the
• 4:16
  most serious of all this stuff. Current
• 4:18
  reporting says Venezuela declared an
• 4:20
  emergency 7.2 foreshock and 7.5
• 4:23
  mainshock with substantial casualties
• 4:26
  and damage reported around Caracas, La
• 4:29
  Guaira La Wait, I said that wrong. La
• 4:31
  Guaira
• 4:33
  and the Caribbean coast. Those casualty
• 4:35
  numbers of course are going to change
• 4:37
  through the day. They say like 164
• 4:39
  something like that. Whatever it said a
• 4:40
  few minutes ago. California quake is
• 4:42
  Northern California near Redwood Valley.
• 4:45
  Um
• 4:46
  5.6 enough to knock stuff off the shelf.
• 4:48
  So, when I lived in California, I was
• 4:50
  going to the uh
• 4:52
  to the uh
• 4:55
  Defense Language Institute. First time
• 4:58
  No, it's second time out. With uh uh
• 5:02
  uh lived in a in a kind of a cool house.
• 5:05
  A
• 5:06
  It was an apartment really and uh I was
• 5:09
  over So, it was an apartment building
• 5:11
  with like four apartments in it and
• 5:13
  underneath cuz we were pretty close to
• 5:15
  the water
• 5:16
  uh on the ocean, there there was uh our
• 5:18
  our house was on stilts. And so, you
• 5:21
  parked underneath it like a carport. So,
• 5:23
  there was a little garage area down
• 5:25
  below. Um
• 5:27
  and then your carport. And I had was
• 5:29
  driving a '79 Chevy Blazer at time. Big
• 5:33
  old truck. And uh it was parked
• 5:35
  underneath the So, it was parked under
• 5:37
  the house. You'd walk upstairs to get up
• 5:39
  to your little apartment and uh had a
• 5:42
  shower, uh you know, had uh uh
• 5:45
  three bedroom, two bath, two bedroom,
• 5:46
  two bath, don't remember, but but it had
• 5:49
  um
• 5:51
  separate shower, so I wasn't in the
• 5:52
  master bath, you know, I was getting
• 5:54
  ready to go to work in the morning and
• 5:57
  uh
• 6:00
  I'd already done done, you know, the run
• 6:02
  and crap like that and
• 6:04
  >> [cough]
• 6:05
  >> excuse me, and I'm in the shower and it
• 6:07
  had the shower had one of those glass
• 6:10
  doors, you know, that uh
• 6:12
  is in the little track that you know,
• 6:14
  the cheap ass glass doors that are in
• 6:16
  the little crappy track and all of a
• 6:19
  sudden
• 6:20
  it started uh
• 6:22
  the thing starts rattling, you know, it
• 6:24
  starts shaking and rattling and what the
• 6:27
  and I start yelling at my wife is like,
• 6:28
  look, if you're getting in the shower,
• 6:30
  get in.
• 6:31
  >> [laughter]
• 6:31
  >> Quit quit screwing around. Let's get the
• 6:34
  Let's get the show on the road, you
• 6:36
  know, but no, that wasn't that was only
• 6:38
  in my uh my my greatest of dreams and uh
• 6:43
  the fact is I was experiencing an
• 6:46
  earthquake. She did come running in and
• 6:48
  she's like, oh my god, the whole house
• 6:50
  is shaking, everything's going and all I
• 6:51
  could think of is here I stand there
• 6:53
  naked um with
• 6:56
  with bottle of shampoo and all I could
• 6:59
  think of is damn it, you know, I'm going
• 7:01
  to die naked in a shower and I'm going
• 7:05
  to be laying on top of my damn 79 Blazer
• 7:09
  uh in a tub dead. That's going to be
• 7:12
  great. So much for uh
• 7:14
  good ways to go and and that's all I
• 7:17
  could think is like, I'm dead and but it
• 7:19
  was it turns out that that was merely
• 7:21
  the first one that I experienced. I
• 7:24
  experienced a couple of other ones that
• 7:26
  um
• 7:27
  uh the first time I had moved to
• 7:29
  California the first time in um
• 7:33
  I lived in
• 7:35
  place called Salinas, big city a little
• 7:38
  ways away and and Uh, then the second
• 7:41
  time I lived in uh Seaside and it was
• 7:44
  really cool place and it was, you know,
• 7:45
  right on the ocean. It was great.
• 7:47
  And uh but he both times I bicycled back
• 7:50
  and forth to work and it uh
• 7:53
  I you kind of
• 7:55
  when the very first time I was there was
• 7:57
  immediately after the one in San
• 7:59
  Francisco where the the the bridge
• 8:01
  collapsed and there were sections of the
• 8:03
  bridge that fell in and collapsed on top
• 8:06
  of uh
• 8:07
  some other cars and whatnot and that had
• 8:09
  just occurred and so I've always been
• 8:12
  it's like jeez, you know, if it's I'll
• 8:14
  never win the lottery, you know, that'd
• 8:16
  be too much, but if I but if I'm going
• 8:18
  to die in my bathtub on a uh on top of
• 8:21
  my '79 Blazer, that lottery I will win.
• 8:25
  If I'm swimming on the Great Barrier
• 8:27
  Reef, which I was, I will find a shark
• 8:31
  to uh chew my leg off, you know, that'll
• 8:33
  be there and of course
• 8:35
  that occurred. Well, not my legs. I was
• 8:38
  able to avoid that, but you know,
• 8:41
  was not entertained with the shark next
• 8:43
  door, you know, that was uh
• 8:45
  not entertaining.
• 8:47
  So so I'm a I'm I'm a person who uh
• 8:51
  stresses about these type of things.
• 8:53
  I don't like it and uh at any rate, the
• 8:57
  the skeptical analysis of all this is
• 8:59
  what's the doom? Here's the doom coming
• 9:01
  for you, right? Let's talk about Sam's
• 9:03
  doom saying three continents had
• 9:06
  significant seismic activities last
• 9:08
  yesterday, okay?
• 9:10
  In a tight window. Venezuela, major pair
• 9:13
  of shallow earthquakes. Japan, strong
• 9:16
  earthquake. California, shaking. Pacific
• 9:18
  Rim, active. You know, the earth is like
• 9:21
  here we go, sending us warnings.
• 9:24
  Somebody's ringing a bell, but then
• 9:26
  again, I suppose you could argue that
• 9:29
  earthquakes are common globally daily.
• 9:31
  There's a cool USGS list. So I have two
• 9:35
  things on my phone, one that I got in
• 9:37
  Grand Cayman.
• 9:39
  Um I figured out there's a shark watch
• 9:42
  program
• 9:43
  and you can
• 9:44
  you can [laughter] download a program
• 9:47
  that'll help you make sure you don't get
• 9:49
  eaten by sharks. Of course, if you're
• 9:50
  looking at your phone and you're in the
• 9:52
  ocean, you're already dead. So, that's
• 9:54
  not good, but you have a shark tracking
• 9:57
  shark tracking by some I don't remember
• 9:59
  what shark tracker.org I think it is. I
• 10:02
  don't remember. But the next one is the
• 10:05
  United States Geological Services and
• 10:08
  they have a website where you can go out
• 10:10
  to their website and download an app
• 10:13
  that will tell you
• 10:15
  >> [laughter]
• 10:16
  >> every time an earth So, when
• 10:18
  Yellowstone does go, you'll be prepared.
• 10:21
  And who warned you? Old Sammy did. I
• 10:24
  warned you. Download those two things.
• 10:26
  Keep track Watch your phones, you know,
• 10:28
  for when you got to
• 10:30
  build a bunker. And then you know, the
• 10:32
  trouble is is I'll start building a
• 10:34
  bunker while the lava's rolling toward
• 10:36
  me. You know, that's no good. You should
• 10:38
  have the bunker already in place,
• 10:41
  people, with your supplies of MREs,
• 10:44
  meals ready to eat, that are
• 10:48
  packed in there. You know, I have some
• 10:50
  that
• 10:51
  after Ian
• 10:53
  the hurricane down Florida,
• 10:56
  somebody left at my house a box of
• 11:00
  MREs. So, the government was mailing
• 11:02
  them all around. They're mailing all
• 11:04
  these boxes of MREs around. I've I've
• 11:06
  got a crate
• 11:08
  one of them
• 11:09
  I don't know, Menards
• 11:12
  Home Depot tubs, you know, that are
• 11:13
  black with the yellow lid or black with
• 11:15
  a red lid, whatever. And I got one full
• 11:18
  of MREs. There's my There's my survival
• 11:22
  gear. And everybody says I need to buy a
• 11:24
  gun, but so far I haven't for when
• 11:26
  everybody comes to steal my survival box
• 11:29
  of food. You know, we're going to have
• 11:30
  that. My sister's got all kinds of stuff
• 11:32
  in her garage. If she's listening, she
• 11:34
  probably call me. They My brother cans
• 11:36
  food and he's always canning stuff and
• 11:39
  it's like, "Geez, when are you going to
• 11:40
  eat this stuff? Quit canning it and eat
• 11:43
  it." These are fresh vegetables and
• 11:45
  fruits. I'm I'm I'm a fresh fruit type
• 11:48
  of guy, but earthquakes aren't really
• 11:49
  rare. So, the
• 11:52
  un un important part is that you know,
• 11:54
  I'm probably probably If I told you
• 11:57
  once, I told you a thousand times never
• 11:59
  to exaggerate. And I'm probably
• 12:01
  exaggerating tiniest of bits, but
• 12:04
  Yellowstone is listed by the Yellowstone
• 12:07
  Volcano Observatory at normal. First
• 12:11
  thing I did, check on that. Make sure
• 12:13
  the Yellowstone's not going. And has a
• 12:16
  green aviation color code, which means
• 12:19
  you can fly over it, right?
• 12:22
  So, the update from June the 1st said
• 12:24
  Yellowstone the caldera activity is at
• 12:27
  background level. 45 located earthquakes
• 12:30
  in May. The largest was only
• 12:34
  in the scale of 2.0. So, we can talk
• 12:36
  about Yellowstone as the
• 12:38
  American Doomsday threat.
• 12:42
  That'll take out 500 miles around it and
• 12:44
  puts us right on the edge. Great. Thanks
• 12:46
  a lot. But the factual line should be
• 12:50
  for us that uh
• 12:52
  perhaps
• 12:53
  you know, several generations from now,
• 12:56
  but there's no current official sign.
• 13:00
  Official, they're all hiding themselves
• 13:02
  in the bunkers and leaving us to fry.
• 13:05
  Uh [snorts] that Yellowstone is moving
• 13:07
  toward eruption. Missouri's pretty far
• 13:09
  from Yellowstone.
• 13:11
  But not beyond consequences in a super
• 13:14
  eruption scenario. Historic Yellowstone
• 13:18
  ash beds by the way, reached across the
• 13:21
  continent.
• 13:24
  And regional ashfall models are exactly
• 13:27
  why Yellowstone is
• 13:30
  terrifying to some of us.
• 13:33
  Some just some of us. But according to
• 13:35
  the USGS, I mean, there's a government
• 13:37
  organization that we should all trust,
• 13:39
  right?
• 13:40
  Status is normal. Situation normal.
• 13:43
  Everything under control. Nothing to see
• 13:45
  here, sir. Yes, thank you. Move along.
• 13:49
  Move along. You know, go go die in
• 13:52
  peace. We're we're going to the bunker.
• 13:55
  >> [laughter]
• 13:55
  >> So, Yellowstone is a great anxiety
• 13:59
  button for 'Merica and for Sam.
• 14:01
  And there it sits.
• 14:04
  100,000 years sitting there quietly
• 14:06
  doing nothing. Every time the earth
• 14:08
  shakes somewhere else,
• 14:10
  you know, we all ask the forbidden
• 14:12
  question. Are we supposed to be focused
• 14:14
  on our death?
• 14:16
  Is this a prelude? Is it coming? Yeah,
• 14:19
  people thought that when Mount St.
• 14:20
  Helens went off. Remember that? Mhm.
• 14:24
  I was at the volcanoes on the Big Island
• 14:28
  in Hawaii.
• 14:29
  And I stayed on the Big Island the whole
• 14:32
  time, although most people prefer to go
• 14:33
  to Honolulu or Oahu or one of the other
• 14:37
  places and and hit all the beaches and
• 14:39
  stuff like that. And we flew from the
• 14:42
  Big Island to um
• 14:45
  Honolulu one day and did the you know,
• 14:47
  the Elvis tour, wander around that
• 14:49
  place, check things out. And it was
• 14:51
  pretty cool, but very crowded and I
• 14:53
  didn't really care for it. Um
• 14:56
  but I went back to the big I was only
• 14:57
  there one day. But I went back to the
• 14:59
  Big Island and spent a week on the Big
• 15:03
  Island chasing volcanoes.
• 15:05
  And there's it's it's Jesus, the the
• 15:07
  island's not very big. I mean,
• 15:09
  I don't remember specifically, but I I
• 15:11
  don't I don't think it's any larger than
• 15:13
  a a place like Bermuda, you know, 22 23
• 15:16
  miles across. I don't I don't remember.
• 15:18
  But I don't remember I know we drove it,
• 15:19
  you you several times and
• 15:21
  went from one end to the other
• 15:23
  um checking out the volcanoes and the
• 15:26
  cool tropical stuff and took a
• 15:28
  helicopter flight over over them to the
• 15:31
  extent that you could, but you couldn't
• 15:33
  because those you could not
• 15:36
  excuse me, could not fly over because
• 15:38
  they were active.
• 15:40
  And
• 15:41
  so
• 15:42
  uh
• 15:44
  I very much I mean I we rented a car
• 15:46
  drove all over there's tea plantations,
• 15:48
  coffee plantations,
• 15:50
  whatever alcohol they made over there I
• 15:52
  can't remember and they had a very nice
• 15:55
  little
• 15:56
  uh not crowded restaurants. You want a
• 15:59
  tourism spot that that was beautiful and
• 16:01
  we got a place for
• 16:02
  you know, my standard is I get a
• 16:05
  three-bedroom condo with two baths and
• 16:07
  uh uh
• 16:08
  you know, even if there's only two of us
• 16:10
  going you get it in
• 16:12
  you can rent these places on Airbnb
• 16:15
  style sort of things and I've been doing
• 16:17
  that for years cuz I like travel that
• 16:19
  way.
• 16:20
  And but it was well worth the tour.
• 16:24
  But as a uh
• 16:25
  doomsday story from Samuel for today
• 16:30
  uh
• 16:31
  civilization is built on the
• 16:34
  assumption
• 16:36
  that we're still going to be here
• 16:37
  tomorrow.
• 16:38
  >> [laughter]
• 16:39
  >> And if all these damn things go off,
• 16:41
  we'll be recreating a new G wonder what
• 16:43
  happened doomsday and we're all focused
• 16:46
  on doomsday all the movies are doomsday
• 16:48
  everything's doomsday these days and you
• 16:51
  know, we got war rumors of war nashing
• 16:54
  of teeth weeping and wailing what it was
• 16:56
  that
• 16:57
  I said it yesterday I think cats and
• 16:58
  dogs living together.
• 17:01
  There's all kinds of troubles going on
• 17:03
  in the world.
• 17:05
  But that is it. So the second thing I

  several years ago uh at the age of uh
• 17:28
  64. He was my oldest brother. And uh
• 17:31
  depressing.
• 17:33
  And one of the smartest people on the
• 17:34
  damn planet. He's one of those guys that
• 17:36
  walk around and bump into walls. He was
• 17:38
  so smart. You know what I mean?
• 17:40
  And uh but he he was extremely
• 17:43
  interesting. And he he he passed away
• 17:45

• 17:48
  you know, that's uh so it's about a five
• 17:51
  five years uh that he's been been gone.
• 17:53
  And he uh when we were kids, he's about
• 17:58
  nine 10 years older than me, I think.
• 18:02
  And uh
• 18:03
  uh
• 18:04
  he
• 18:06
  he was a a huge flute player.
• 18:10
  And he play I remember him, you know,
• 18:12
  playing the flute when we were kids. And
• 18:14
  uh and he would play uh Jethro Tull all
• 18:17
  the time. Hang on, we're going to have
• 18:18
  to take this.
• 18:21
  Hello, caller. What do you have to say
• 18:23
  for yourself this morning?
• 18:25
  >> Ron and Sam.
• 18:27
  >> Guten Morgen.
• 18:29
  >> Ah, Dobro utro.
• 18:31
  >> Dobro utro, kak dela? Vse normal'no u
• 18:33
  nas zdes' v Missuri.
• 18:35
  >> Ah, horosho, spasiba.
• 18:37
  Um net, um
• 18:39
  So, I only have a minute. Yes, so I
• 18:42
  heard you. Of course I would call in.
• 18:43
  You I issued a challenge, I believe.
• 18:46
  >> Did I? I've spoken since then. What
• 18:48
  happened? Are you dying? Is the world
• 18:50
  going? What's happening?
• 18:52
  >> Well, you've already told us the major
• 18:54
  events. Yes, we're on our way out as we
• 18:57
  speak.
• 18:58
  And of course, I being closer to
• 19:01
  Yellowstone than you, I'll probably go
• 19:04
  first. So, I'll issue this warning. It's
• 19:06
  not going to do you any good to have a
• 19:07
  bunker because you're going to be
• 19:09
  covered by millions of tons of hot lava.
• 19:13
  >> No, but I I'm far enough away. I'll I'll
• 19:16
  get his ash.
• 19:18
  >> Oh, no, no.
• 19:19
  >> What if I go to Florida? Is that going
• 19:20
  to help me at all?
• 19:22
  >> If the big one goes off, we're all
• 19:24
  screwed.
• 19:25
  >> Yeah, that's kind of what I was
• 19:26
  thinking. I saw I I have those doomsday
• 19:28
  things that I I downloaded years ago and
• 19:31
  I still watch them. Some kind of uh uh
• 19:34
  death series uh on unnatural events and
• 19:37
  I have like 30 or 40 of these on my on
• 19:40
  my Apple iTunes and every once in a
• 19:42
  while I'll go back through the threat
• 19:44
  matrixes and go, "You could die by a bug
• 19:47
  swarm." You know, and they have this bug
• 19:48
  swarm show that goes on for an hour and
• 19:51
  you go, "My god, we're going to die of
• 19:52
  bugs. This is crap." And uh the the
• 19:55
  >> news is
• 19:56
  >> What's the good
• 19:57
  >> is that if the big one goes off up in
• 20:00
  Yellowstone,
• 20:01
  you don't have to worry about being
• 20:03
  prepared anymore.
• 20:04
  >> We'd no longer have to worry about
• 20:06
  having a two-party system, would we?
• 20:09
  >> What two-party system?
• 20:11
  >> Democrats, Republicans.
• 20:13
  >> That that's a one-party system.
• 20:15
  >> Well, yeah, but we call it a two-party
• 20:17
  system, but we wouldn't have to worry
• 20:19
  about whether it's one or two. That
• 20:20
  would be gone.
• 20:21
  >> But that's
• 20:22
  that's in name only.
• 20:24
  >> Yes.
• 20:24
  >> It's It's like calling a you know, a 50
• 20:27
  cent piece a a half dollar. It's still
• 20:29
  the same.
• 20:30
  >> True that. True that.
• 20:33
  >> So,
• 20:34
  >> Well, are you going to try to You're I
• 20:35
  know what you're doing. You're trying to
• 20:36
  come and share my meals ready to eat. I
• 20:39
  got a box of like 12 of them and uh you
• 20:42
  know, that'll last me 12 days.
• 20:45
  >> I think I'll pass on those. I I've got
• 20:47
  to step up from that. I've got all my
• 20:49
  garden stuff that I can, just like
• 20:51
  David.
• 20:52
  >> Yeah.
• 20:52
  >> But I also have four Patriots in a real
• 20:55
  emergency if I'm really starving,
• 20:58
  then I can have the four Patriots
• 21:00
  freeze-dried
• 21:01
  >> How do you have missiles in your house?
• 21:03
  Patriot missiles? What are you worried
• 21:04
  about the big one coming?
• 21:06
  >> four four Patriot Food Supply. You know
• 21:09
  the commercials.
• 21:10
  >> Oh, you're you're you're you're you're
• 21:12
  purchasing people stuff. And what do you
• 21:15
  get there? Is that like some big crate
• 21:17
  and let's advertise for them. Is it
• 21:19
  worthwhile?
• 21:21
  >> Yeah, you get it well, I don't know how
• 21:22
  long
• 21:22
  >> What's it do for your water? What do you
• 21:24
  got to do?
• 21:25
  >> You have to add water to all of it.
• 21:27
  That's why I like my my homemade canned
• 21:30
  because you can have all your vegetables
• 21:34
  that are already in water cuz you can
• 21:36
  them.
• 21:37
  >> And then you have some salty water to
• 21:39
  add everything to.
• 21:41
  >> Well, you know, along the lines of uh
• 21:45
  being prepared, you know, the LDS church
• 21:47
  put out 10 million pounds of I'm sure
• 21:50
  you've seen that all over YouTube.
• 21:52
  The sad truth about that is that
• 21:55
  >> Well, 10 million pounds of what? What
• 21:57
  are they doing?
• 21:57
  >> Of food. Of food that they send to food
• 22:00
  banks all over the US.
• 22:01
  >> They just send away food?
• 22:04
  >> No, yeah, they send it all to food banks
• 22:07
  >> they sending it to me? That's some crap.
• 22:09
  You know, they send it out to these food
• 22:10
  banks. I don't want to go to food bank.
• 22:12
  Well, they should just mail it to my
• 22:13
  house.
• 22:15
  >> Well, they probably could. They do have
• 22:17
  an online store, you know.
• 22:19
  >> I see.
• 22:20
  Uh you know what I was doing yesterday?
• 22:22
  I was uh using um AI. It's a damn good
• 22:26
  thing that somebody we know uh uh
• 22:29
  educated me that AI actually exists. I
• 22:32
  mean, I'm the
• 22:33
  >> My own family member that's on the
• 22:35
  cutting edge of
• 22:36
  >> Oh, he knows everything about AI. If you
• 22:39
  had any questions.
• 22:41
  Indeed. You you must The fact that it's
• 22:43
  I I didn't even know how to spell AI.
• 22:46
  And uh look at me now. I used it last
• 22:49
  night to go back and and I was just
• 22:51
  curious cuz I I wanted to uh
• 22:54
  to do my own form of genealogy, right?
• 23:00

  >> Well, cool. Then you should give it to
• 26:06
  me, but I feel like I want to do it
• 26:07
  myself anyway because when I find out
• 26:09
  who came over first, I'm going to go
• 26:12
  over to Germany, Austria, or wherever
• 26:15
  and go to the church where they're done
• 26:17
  and find their records in there. And I
• 26:18
  want to do it in person. That's what I
• 26:20
  want to do.
• 26:21
  >> of those have burned down um yes, even
• 26:25
  prior to World War II. However, however,
• 26:28
  I have a lot of interesting material and
• 26:31
  um I will send you the link.
• 26:33
  >> Well, cool. Let Let us chat about that
• 26:35
  later. I actually have two other topics
• 26:37
  I need to speak about. I very much
• 26:39
  appreciate you calling in.
• 26:41
  And I have to I have to I was just
• 26:42
  talking about Jethro Tull and our uh
• 26:45
  dearly departed and esteemed oldest
• 26:48
  brother Clifford Michael III.
• 26:50
  >> to him
• 26:51
  >> And his uh
• 26:53
  and his
• 26:54
  >> You know he's a flat-earther, right?
• 26:56
  >> Yeah, I know. And
• 26:57
  he was. And and his
• 26:59
  Well, I don't blame him. I think the
• 27:01
  world's flat, too.
• 27:02
  Yeah. And and well
• 27:03
  >> I have been leaning in that direction,
• 27:05
  but I want to know what somebody
• 27:07
  wouldn't be talking about what's going
• 27:08
  on in Antarctica.
• 27:10
  >> He knew that stuff. I'm Well, I don't
• 27:12
  know enough about that, but I'm going
• 27:13
  there. So, Lana and I were supposed to
• 27:15
  take a cruise down there. You so you go
• 27:17
  down to something de Fuego or something
• 27:19
  Isles de Fuego and you can take a cruise
• 27:21
  and go to Antarctica.
• 27:23
  >> Yes, it's true. Like we've actually
• 27:25
  looked into it.
• 27:26
  >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, we looked into it,
• 27:27
  too. And I was like, you know what I'd
• 27:29
  rather do? I'd rather pay You can spend
• 27:31
  Get this.
• 27:32
  $16,000
• 27:35
  and take a 6-month
• 27:37
  world cruise.
• 27:39
  >> Wow.
• 27:40
  >> For $16,000.
• 27:42
  Now, think about that. 6 months That's
• 27:44
  $2,000 a month. You can't live on that
• 27:47
  in paying for freaking Mid-Missouri for
• 27:50
  God's sake.
• 27:50
  >> Yep. Yep, you can't do it.
• 27:52
  >> 16 grand. So, no wonder I have an I know
• 27:55
  a guy I have an acquaintance, a guy who
• 27:58
  uh
• 27:58
  >> There are actual people that actually do
• 28:00
  live on cruise
• 28:01
  >> This guy lives 3 weeks out of 4 at least
• 28:05
  on the cruise ship and they pay him to
• 28:07
  gamble. And so he goes and and he plays
• 28:11
  uh uh
• 28:11
  you know, Texas Hold 'em and and plays
• 28:14
  in
• 28:15
  boat tournaments, gets on a different
• 28:16
  boat every week.
• 28:18
  And you know, he's not he's not like uh
• 28:21
  You know, if he plays more he can get up
• 28:22
  to the top, but he he can stay for free.
• 28:24
  Just go gamble.
• 28:27
  I think I'm I'm I'm changing my evil
• 28:29
  ways. And if you have internet, jeez,
• 28:31
  you can work from anywhere.
• 28:33
  >> Yeah, that's true. And most people do
• 28:35
  anymore.
• 28:36
  >> And I'm going to get eaten by a shark
• 28:37
  anyway, so I might as well get on a ship
• 28:40
  and uh
• 28:41
  >> Well, did you notice shark attacks are
• 28:42
  up as well? So, they must know
• 28:44
  something.
• 28:45
  >> Oh, they know something. I'm telling
• 28:46
  you. And uh
• 28:48
  I'm anti-shark still. But I have a shark
• 28:52
  suit and I won't even get in the ocean.
• 28:54
  And I still have a shark suit.
• 28:55
  >> to Maui, I stayed on the beach while
• 28:58
  Matthew swam. And I Matthew said, "What
• 29:01
  are you doing over there? Come in the
• 29:02
  water." I said, He said, "Come on, what
• 29:04
  are you doing?" I said, "I'm just
• 29:06
  looking for all the shark attacks on
• 29:07
  Maui."
• 29:08
  >> Yeah, do you know what this Do you know
• 29:09
  what caused this for us? I'll tell you
• 29:11
  what. It's It's being at the It's Jaws,
• 29:13
  the freaking movie, at the drive-in,
• 29:16
  laying on top of our station wagons. Do
• 29:19
  you remember that?
• 29:20
  I was freaking scared to death, laying
• 29:23
  on top of the freaking car.
• 29:25
  Uh-uh. Well, I did. I've done I've done
• 29:27
  it at the Great Barrier Reef and I've
• 29:28
  done it in Grand Cayman and a couple
• 29:30
  other places. Oh, I did it in Bermuda
• 29:33
  during a hurricane Andrew. That was
• 29:34
  freaking crazy.
• 29:36
  >> Nope. Nope.
• 29:38
  Yeah, I actually paddle boarded over a a
• 29:41
  shark down in uh
• 29:43
  Where was it? It was awful.
• 29:45
  >> Ha-ha.
• 29:45
  >> I don't know, but I remain uninterested
• 29:47
  in uh in in being eaten by shark while
• 29:50
  alive. I've instructed my children that
• 29:52
  when I kick the bucket, when I shuffle
• 29:54
  off the molten coil, when I join the
• 29:56
  bleeding choir invisible,
• 29:59
  then I wish to be baked in an oven,
• 30:01
  turned into ash, and distributed to the
• 30:04
  sharks. Uh you know, you can go out in
• 30:06
  your little paddle boat, get on a paddle
• 30:08
  board, go out You don't have to go too
• 30:09
  far. Just don't get your own leg eaten
• 30:11
  off in the meantime. And just deposit me
• 30:14
  there.
• 30:15
  >> my ashes all over um Montana so the
• 30:19
  wolves can get me and the bears.
• 30:21
  >> Well, I'm anti that, too.
• 30:23
  >> want them to get me while I'm alive.
• 30:25
  That's just too icky.
• 30:26
  >> No wonder I'm I'm jeez, I I have
• 30:28
  paranoia issues. Anyway, I'm going to
• 30:30
  get back to uh Jethro Tull and I'm going
• 30:33
  to play him and it's a good thing I've
• 30:36
  figured out how to spell A I. If I If I
• 30:39
  learned it since I since I suddenly
• 30:40
  learned how to spell
• 30:41
  >> our younger brother for that and our
• 30:43
  older brother
• 30:45
  >> for being a genius. He was a bit weird,
• 30:47
  but he was a genius.
• 30:49
  >> Yeah, he was very strange.
• 30:51
  >> Very, very cool. At any rate, his I went
• 30:54
  and saw Well, I shall let you go. How
• 30:56
  about that?
• 30:57
  >> Okay. That's great.
• 30:58
  >> day. See you.
• 30:59
  >> All right.
• 31:00
  >> And there she goes. Well, that that was
• 31:03
  nice. You know, my leg hasn't been eaten
• 31:05
  by a shark yet and I've had three
• 31:07
  opportunities.
• 31:08
  And so far, not I'm doing pretty well.
• 31:11
  But, my brother was a huge Jethro fan
• 31:14
  Jethro Tull fan and I remember him
• 31:17
  playing his guitar, dancing around the
• 31:18
  room and and doing stuff like that. He
• 31:21
  uh uh
• 31:22
  gave me my love of Jethro Tull. When I
• 31:26
  several years ago,
• 31:28
  my children got me for my birthday a
• 31:31
  uh concert tickets for two
• 31:33
  and I took some little country western
• 31:35
  girl. It's pretty funny. Took a country
• 31:37
  western girl to the
• 31:39
  uh uh Fox uh Theater in uh
• 31:43
  uh St. Louis. Very nice. I like to go
• 31:45
  there around Christmas time. I'm going
• 31:46
  to look
• 31:47
  You know, I like to go see uh uh
• 31:49
  Christmas Carol and get all dressed up
• 31:51
  and go down there and have dinner on the
• 31:52
  hill, stuff like that. That that's a fun
• 31:55
  uh Christmas
• 31:56
  event. And then I I I also like to go
• 31:58
  spend the weekend and one day do the
• 32:00
  Botanical Garden Christmas deal and
• 32:02
  whatnot. That's kind of fun, too.
• 32:04
  And uh wander around, get uh spicy
• 32:06
  eggnog and uh uh glue vine and drinking
• 32:09
  your glue vine. I love that stuff. And
• 32:12
  uh anyway, um I've been to the Fox
• 32:14
  Theater quite a few times, generally at
• 32:16
  Christmas time. But, this was the Jethro
• 32:17
  Tull 50th Anniversary Concert. Dude was
• 32:20
  in his 70s. I I want to say 70 75
• 32:24
  when he was playing and uh it was good
• 32:26
  stuff. Well,
• 32:28
  for our break today, we're going to take
• 32:30
  a tiny bit of a break and uh uh there's
• 32:32
  a
• 32:33
  an appropriate Jethro Tull song that's
• 32:37
  titled Pibroch. P I B R O C H and this
• 32:43
  I believe came from the Songs from the
• 32:46
  Wood album. It's possible. But he played
• 32:49
  it at everyone and he would pronounce it
• 32:53
  a little bit differently
• 32:57
  than than we would they would call it
• 33:00
  and my brother explained it to me
• 33:01
  because I just didn't know the history
• 33:04
  of Jethro Tull and of course he did and
• 33:06
  could play every bit of flute on every
• 33:08
  song that was Jethro Tull and he did it
• 33:11
  very very well and he could even do the
• 33:12
  dancing around like some sprite and and
• 33:16
  do that which he often did. Those are
• 33:17
  the things I remember the most about my
• 33:19
  brother who was quite a bit older than
• 33:21
  me from when I was a little kid and I
• 33:22
  just used to love to watch it and to
• 33:24
  listen to it and but he was always a bit
• 33:27
  on the odd side.
• 33:29
  And he
• 33:31
  taught me that the song which is Pibroch
• 33:35
  Cap in Hand spelled P I B R O C H is
• 33:39
  actually announced or
• 33:41
  pronounced
• 33:43
  Pibroch Pibroch because it's they take
• 33:46
  it for the Pibroch. It's a song that
• 33:48
  allows them all to go and take their pee
• 33:53
  break in the middle of the concert and
• 33:55
  so that is how they play it and we're
• 33:57
  going to
• 33:58
  do something similar right here but I
• 34:00
  have a coffee fix I'm going to go take
• 34:02
  care of during our pee break. Pibroch
• 34:05
  Cap in Hand 2003 remastered version here
• 34:10
  for you at International
• 34:13
  Flavour if I can ever get it to pull up
• 34:16
  appropriately and not be crappy version.
• 34:20
  We want it all to be just perfect for
• 34:22
  us.

  >> There's a light in the [music] house.
• 35:55
  In the woods, [music and singing] in the

  in my [music] head

  of a man.

• 41:44
  Strange
• 41:45
  >> [music]
• 41:45

• 41:47
  but my
• 41:50
  >> [music]

  >> [music]
• 42:19
  [music]
• 42:54
  >> And there it went.
• 42:57
  So that was Jethro Tull, of course, the
• 42:59
  great, the fabulous Jethro Tull.
• 43:02
  And uh the song was Pibroch Cap in Hand.
• 43:07
  Uh put my cap on my head
• 43:09
  I turn and walk away.
• 43:13
  Strange
• 43:16
  strange boots by the fire.
• 43:19
  Mhm, [clears throat]
• 43:20
  that cause you to walk away, too.
• 43:22
  Everybody needs a good pee break then,
• 43:24
  don't they?
• 43:25
  Yep, when that occurs, you definitely
• 43:27
  need a pee break. Pee break brought
• 43:28
  [clears throat] to you by me and by Dam
• 43:31
  Radio. There 'tis. Um let's see.
• 43:35
  Now let us begin in the middle because
• 43:37
  we already began at the beginning. And I
• 43:40
  actually watched a uh Medvedev And I
• 43:44
  like watching uh uh
• 43:47
  Medvedev. Um
• 43:49
  He's a great guy.
• 43:50
  And um
• 43:52
  Dmitri, uh
• 43:53
  he's he's pretty damn uh
• 43:56
  um
• 44:00
  He's a pretty blunt dude. And and and I
• 44:03
  like he was president one term. Let's
• 44:05
  see, was it So so was president for like
• 44:09
  from 2000 to 2005 and then
• 44:12
  Medvedev was president for a term and
• 44:15
  and Putin's been one ever since and he's
• 44:18
  If you think you're getting somebody
• 44:19
  better when you take the younger
• 44:20
  Medvedev who has every likelihood of
• 44:23
  being the next one.
• 44:26
  Um
• 44:27
  I suppose that's
• 44:29
  Perhaps you should get to know him
• 44:31
  because if you think things are going to
• 44:33
  change, forget it. If you think
• 44:36
  By the way, no matter who it is,
• 44:38
  Russia is Russia and and
• 44:41
  the government is one thing, the the
• 44:43
  people are another. And the government
• 44:46
  is going to continue just much like Iran
• 44:49
  has joined as continued.
• 44:52
  Mhm.
• 44:54
  See that during pee break I was able to
• 44:56
  go and brew myself a fresh coffee from
• 44:58
  the old Keurig machine.
• 45:00
  Throw a couple of fake creamers in there
• 45:03
  >> [snorts]
• 45:03
  >> and uh
• 45:04
  there you go. Medvedev is a useful guy
• 45:07
  to listen to though because he removes
• 45:09
  the diplomacy.
• 45:12
  Lavrov is a legal the one we we followed
• 45:15
  him yesterday. He talks about
• 45:17
  things from a diplomatic and from a
• 45:19
  legal perspective.
• 45:20
  Um
• 45:22
  Medvedev is nice to watch cuz he's like
• 45:24
  a battering ram. He's he's
• 45:27
  you know, just somebody that tells you
• 45:28
  the warnings, tells you, "Well, you
• 45:30
  know, fine. Quit being Quit being
• 45:32
  a-holes and you wouldn't have to do
• 45:33
  this." So, Medvedev is deliberately, in
• 45:37
  my opinion, inflammatory.
• 45:40
  His rhetoric is often designed to
• 45:43
  pressure
• 45:45
  Western
• 45:46
  people like me, the public, rather than
• 45:49
  describe actual Russian decision-making
• 45:51
  processes. Those decisions are made
• 45:53
  slowly, deliberately, with the Lavrovs
• 45:56
  and Putins of the world. They don't they
• 45:58
  don't act quickly. They just don't. And
• 46:01
  so, Western policy
• 46:04
  repeatedly goes in the wrong direction.
• 46:07
  And in in in in a direction that creates
• 46:11
  an enemy that doesn't exist in Russia.
• 46:13
  Now, I believe this, too. From a
• 46:15
  personal, from a political, from an
• 46:17
  individual level, when you go to Russia,
• 46:19
  the people are fantastic. They don't
• 46:20
  have any horror, they don't hate
• 46:22
  America. They wonder why we hate them.
• 46:25
  But
• 46:26
  and they wonder why everybody hates
• 46:27
  them. They they shouldn't. We should
• 46:29
  envy them. They've got they've got a
• 46:31
  great country, great uh
• 46:33
  great clean cities. Um it's it's a very
• 46:36
  good country.
• 46:38
  And
• 46:39
  they're
• 46:41
  I I don't know. They have They have
• 46:44
  Everybody has their issues. You know
• 46:46
  what I mean? Everybody does. You know,
• 46:47
  you you If you found Mr. Perfection,
• 46:50
  he's actually my brother. It's not me,
• 46:51
  you know.
• 46:53
  Well, there's only one perfect person on
• 46:55
  the planet that actually speaks to God,
• 46:57
  apparently. And God speaks back. That's
• 47:00
  the scary part.
• 47:02
  >> [laughter]
• 47:03
  >> He's only talking to my brother. This is
• 47:06
  loony. And
• 47:08
  at any rate, all the perfect people are
• 47:10
  are dead ages and ages ago, you know,
• 47:13
  biblical times, those good ones are are
• 47:15
  done. And the uh
• 47:17
  fact is, there's only one perfect soul
• 47:19
  left on the planet, and he happens to be
• 47:22
  related to me.
• 47:23
  Uh but the Everybody has their problems.
• 47:28
  Um
• 47:29
  Western policy
• 47:32
  continually
• 47:34
  is
• 47:35
  against Russia. And and and that's
• 47:38
  basically he was reiterating a lot of
• 47:41
  the same things that
• 47:43
  Lavrov said in his speeches yesterday,
• 47:48
  both about um
• 47:50
  um
• 47:55
  What do you call it? His approach to
• 47:58
  things in Belarus, his approach to
• 48:00
  things in Ukraine. It's
• 48:04
  uh
• 48:05
  it's interesting because the the world
• 48:08
  is waking up to this. There's a There's
• 48:10
  a story that came out yesterday about
• 48:12
  Russia and ASEAN ASEAN
• 48:18
  uh
• 48:19
  countries should deepen cooperation
• 48:22
  especially amid US sanctions. And this
• 48:24
  came from Indonesia, from may a an
• 48:27
  Indonesian professor who who wrote this
• 48:30
  article. And it's
• 48:34
  it's
• 48:38
  If we don't start paying attention to
• 48:39
  other sections of the world that that
• 48:41
  get to talk, I I think we're going to be
• 48:43
  we are in in danger of being somewhat
• 48:46
  left behind. Um
• 48:48
  I I know several people who believe that
• 48:52
  the finances of the United States are
• 48:55
  collapsing. And I've spoken to a couple
• 48:57
  of And And I mean seriously collapsing
• 49:00
  even as we speak that the 40 trillion is
• 49:03
  actually a
• 49:05
  a
• 49:07
  bridge too far. It's
• 49:09
  You can And I've been thinking about
• 49:11
  this for a while, but
• 49:13
  I've always thought that what Okay, debt
• 49:16
  is an important thing and our GDP isn't
• 49:19
  even 40 trillion dollars a year.
• 49:23
  >> [laughter]
• 49:24
  >> You know what I mean? It's It's
• 49:26
  nonsense. Our debt is larger than our
• 49:28
  GDP. It's The interest You can't pay it.
• 49:31
  This is unsustainable.
• 49:33
  And people really are bailing from
• 49:36
  buying more US debt. Somebody needed to
• 49:39
  stop us ages ago, and they never did.
• 49:42
  They never did.
• 49:46
  And our politicians just keep on
• 49:48
  trucking with it. And so other countries
• 49:50
  are seeking alternatives. BRICS, ASEAN,
• 49:54
  and others. You know, Moscow says
• 49:56
  Southeast Asia, the Southeast Asian
• 49:58
  nations. Uh Association of Southeast
• 50:01
  Asian Nations is what that means, by the
• 50:03
  way. And this Indonesian professor is
• 50:06
  like, you know, we're the fastest
• 50:07
  growing
• 50:09
  place on the planet, and that's true.
• 50:11
  And
• 50:14
  uh
• 50:17
  I'm not quite sure how
• 50:19
  The fact is, the world's changed no
• 50:21
  matter how you look at it. The world is
• 50:24
  changing. And AI's changing it even
• 50:26
  faster. And so, there's all kinds of
• 50:30
  Nobody wants their eggs in one basket
• 50:32
  anymore. And then you see what's going
• 50:35
  on with Trump and company doing what he
• 50:37
  thinks is the smart thing to do. Seize
• 50:40
  all the means of production, especially
• 50:42
  of energy and oil and AI.
• 50:46
  And uh but it's not going as planned,
• 50:49
  unfortunately. And so, there's there's
• 50:52
  much to talk about. I'm going to suggest
• 50:54
  that you have a look at this article if
• 50:58
  you can.
• 50:59
  This article came out. It's called
• 51:01
  Russia and ASEAN should deepen
• 51:02
  cooperation. The
• 51:04
  What's the professor's name? Yeah.
• 51:07
  He is uh
• 51:11
  Teuku Rezasyah.
• 51:14
  He argues that many of the group's
• 51:16
  members are questioning Washington
• 51:19
  and its ability to support regional
• 51:21
  growth.
• 51:22
  And they've maintained ties in those
• 51:25
  areas. Russia, China, India, the other
• 51:28
  ASEAN countries, Iran,
• 51:31
  Afghanistan, all of those places over
• 51:33
  there. Kyrgyzstan,
• 51:36
  Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, all of them.
• 51:39
  They are all part of this association.
• 51:42
  And they're all growing
• 51:44
  quickly, astronomically, and not
• 51:47
  controlled by the United States in the
• 51:49
  fact that now 96%
• 51:51
  or more of the trade between Russia and
• 51:54
  China is done in the Yuan or the Ruble
• 51:59
  and some 50 it's it's it's a large
• 52:02
  percent. It it's a I don't think it's
• 52:04
  quite 50 just yet, but the the trade
• 52:08
  between India and Russia is going on in
• 52:11
  the Rupee and the Ruble is also a huge
• 52:14
  deal. And I think I'd I'd like to share
• 52:17
  this story. It was published today. It's
• 52:20
  this professor spell his name r e z a s
• 52:24
  y a h is how you spell his name.
• 52:27
  And there's plenty more to go through
• 52:29
  today and so I wanted to kind of speed
• 52:31
  up a little, but that talks about
• 52:34
  especially amid the sanctions because
• 52:37
  that's how you eliminate the effect of
• 52:38
  the sanctions
• 52:39
  is you work outside of the sanctions
• 52:41
  system. It's happening anyway. It's
• 52:43
  coming.
• 52:47
  Russia, Iran, others Venezuela have been
• 52:50
  doing it forever already. And you know,
• 52:53
  the the globalist still think they're in
• 52:55
  charge, but let's talk about some
• 52:57
  speaking of globalists. Let's go to Von
• 53:00
  der Leyen. Here's here's your globalist.
• 53:02
  She she's
• 53:04
  unelected. Okay, let's let's talk about
• 53:07
  this. She's being investigated now over
• 53:09
  her secret group chat with Zelensky.
• 53:12
  Okay, the communications include
• 53:15
  Chancellor Merz, French President
• 53:17
  Macron,
• 53:19
  Italian PM Meloni and the outgoing UK
• 53:23
  Prime Minister Starmer. An EU watchdog
• 53:27
  is investigating European Commission
• 53:29
  President Ursula von der Leyen over a
• 53:32
  secret group chat with Zelensky and
• 53:35
  several other European leaders according
• 53:37
  to the Dutch outlet called follow the
• 53:40
  money FTM.
• 53:42
  It's a a pretty cool website, by the
• 53:44
  way.
• 53:45
  The probe follows a complaint by FTM
• 53:49
  after the European Commission refused to
• 53:51
  release messages from a private group
• 53:53
  chat, reportedly including Chancellor
• 53:56
  Friedrich Merz,
• 53:58
  French President Emmanuel Macron, Prime
• 54:01
  Minister Giorgia Meloni, who wanted a
• 54:03
  photo with with Trump. Please take a
• 54:05
  selfie with me, Mr. Trump, allegedly.
• 54:08
  And Kier Starmer, outgoing genius of of
• 54:13
  Great Britain. What's that What's uh
• 54:14
  Alex Christopher will call him? 008.
• 54:17
  He's 008.
• 54:19
  The Commission reportedly argued that
• 54:21
  disclosure of these texts could harm the
• 54:23
  EU's relations with third countries.
• 54:26
  Wonder if they're talking about the old
• 54:28
  Trumpster.
• 54:29
  In a letter sent to the Commission last
• 54:31
  week, and cited by the outlet on
• 54:33
  Wednesday, European Ombudsman Teresa
• 54:35
  Engel reported reported that she had
• 54:38
  opened an inquiry into the refusal to
• 54:40
  grant access to the communication.
• 54:43
  Engel said the probe would examine
• 54:45
  whether the Commission complied with EU
• 54:47
  transparency rules when it rejected the
• 54:49
  request. She also asked to meet
• 54:51
  Commission representatives by mid-July,
• 54:54
  said FTM. The group chat, dubbed the
• 54:57
  Washington Group, was first reported on
• 55:00
  by Politico in January, citing people
• 55:02
  familiar with the matter. Oh, that's
• 55:04
  always a good one. People familiar with
• 55:06
  the matter. Well, I'm familiar with the
• 55:08
  matter. This is nonsense. You can have
• 55:09
  me telling you about it. Politico wrote
• 55:12
  at the time that participants had spent
• 55:14
  the previous year exchanging messages
• 55:16
  whenever President Trump did what they
• 55:19
  viewed as something wild and potentially
• 55:22
  damaging.
• 55:23
  >> [laughter]
• 55:24
  >> According to media reports, the group
• 55:25
  was originally set up in response to the
• 55:28
  Ukraine conflict. There's a surprise.
• 55:31
  The reported inquiries are the latest in
• 55:33
  a series of controversies involving von
• 55:35
  der Leyen and the commission's handling
• 55:38
  of official records last year, the EU's
• 55:41
  General Court ruled that the commission
• 55:44
  had improperly handled a request by The
• 55:46
  New York Times seeking access to text
• 55:49
  messages exchanged between Von der Leyen
• 55:52
  and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during
• 55:56
  negotiations over the bloc's COVID-19
• 55:58
  vaccine contracts. The commission later
• 56:00
  pledged to review its record-keeping
• 56:03
  practices. Oh, really?
• 56:05
  Earlier this month, NGO criticized the
• 56:07
  deletion of a text message sent by
• 56:09
  Macron regarding the EU's proposed trade
• 56:12
  agreement with South America's Mercosur
• 56:15
  block.
• 56:17
  The commission declined to release the
• 56:19
  massage in response to a freedom of
• 56:21
  information request saying it had been
• 56:25
  auto-deleted.
• 56:27
  Following a conclave by FTM Follow the
• 56:30
  Money, the ombudsman concluded the
• 56:32
  message had been deleted unlawfully and
• 56:35
  called on the commission to improve the
• 56:36
  preservation and archiving of official
• 56:39
  communications,
• 56:41
  including text messages.
• 56:45
  Geez.
• 56:46
  They're hiding stuff, people. They're
• 56:48
  hiding stuff from us. Oh, no. Sluggo,
• 56:53
  what are we going to do?
• 56:55
  Oh, boy.
• 56:57
  >> [sighs]
• 56:58
  >> Germany, meanwhile, has
• 57:02
  Did they sank it or they sunk it? It has
• 57:04
  been sunk. It has
• 57:07
  the the the project is sunk.
• 57:10
  But, the way they say it, Germany sinks
• 57:13
  Von der Leyen's $18 billion pet warship
• 57:18
  project. Is that warship or war ship?
• 57:21
  Hmm. The procurement of six F126
• 57:25
  warships was terminated due to
• 57:28
  significant delay and enormous cost
• 57:31
  increase, said the Defense Ministry.
• 57:35
  Germany has pulled the plug on its
• 57:37
  largest naval shipbuilding project since
• 57:41
  the end of World War II.
• 57:45
  Hmm.
• 57:47
  Militarization of Germany proceeds at
• 57:49
  record pace, says Samuel.
• 57:52
  But the largest project since the end of
• 57:54
  World War II scrapped plans for a fleet
• 57:56
  of six F126 frigates first ordered under
• 58:00
  then Defense Minister of Germany, Ursula
• 58:03
  von der Leyen.
• 58:05
  The plans to axe the project were first
• 58:07
  reported by Der Spiegel on Tuesday,
• 58:11
  which said the program had long been
• 58:12
  plagued by numerous issues. Kind of like
• 58:16
  high-speed rail in California. Hmm,
• 58:18
  curious. The government's doing it,
• 58:20
  therefore you know it's cocked up,
• 58:22
  right? The Ministry confirmed the move
• 58:25
  the next day saying it was
• 58:28
  due to significant delay, enormous cost
• 58:31
  increase, and incalculable risk.
• 58:35
  Risk can always be calculated. It's Oh,
• 58:38
  I usually turn off the phone, but I have
• 58:41
  people phoning me.
• 58:43
  But I'm doing a program. We cannot speak
• 58:45
  to them whilst we are They can call in
• 58:47
  on the show. How about them apples,
• 58:50
  friends and neighbors?
• 58:52
  It is also completing six F126s
• 58:58
  that the it notes that that would would
• 59:01
  have driven the total cost above the 18
• 59:03
  billion set aside for it to 20.3 billion
• 59:07
  compared to the initial estimate of 5.27
• 59:10
  billion for four such vessels.
• 59:14
  This is criminal. It's It's like
• 59:17
  How do How do these people get away with
• 59:20
  it? Oh, it's just a budget overrun. Give
• 59:22
  us another several billion.
• 59:24
  You know, Trump's asking for 81 more 88
• 59:27
  billion. There's another huge billions
• 59:29
  they need for war in Iran.
• 59:32
  Isn't that crazy?
• 59:34
  Oh, launched in 2020 under von der
• 59:37
  Leyen, the F126 program was the largest
• 59:40
  warship pro- project in modern German
• 59:43
  Navy history, displacing 10,500 tons and
• 59:47
  stretching 166 m. Big enough to stay at
• 59:50
  sea for 2 years, the vessel was designed
• 59:53
  to be highly versatile, capable of roles
• 59:56
  ranging from submarine hunting to
• 59:58
  supporting special forces and drone
• 1:00:01
  operations. The contract was initially
• 1:00:04
  awarded to the Dutch Damen Schelde Naval
• 1:00:06
  Shipbuilding Yard, but the project
• 1:00:08
  quickly stalled as the company struggled
• 1:00:10
  to transfer ship design data to the
• 1:00:12
  production system used by the German
• 1:00:13
  shipyards and suppliers due to
• 1:00:16
  incompatible software.
• 1:00:20
  You don't check that [ __ ] out first, you
• 1:00:22
  bunch of loonies? Costs already started
• 1:00:26
  ballooning, which they do in government
• 1:00:27
  projects, as early as 2019, even before
• 1:00:30
  the contract went to DSNS with then left
• 1:00:33
  party MP Matthias Höhn calling the
• 1:00:35
  project a money pit. You ever seen that
• 1:00:38
  movie? Uh, Tom Hanks, Money Pit, and uh,
• 1:00:40
  what's her name? Shelley something. Uh,
• 1:00:42
  around the same time, the ministry's
• 1:00:44
  tendering process drew its own
• 1:00:46
  controversy. Oh my god, their funding
• 1:00:49
  their tender process was flawed. Hmm.
• 1:00:53
  von der Leyen's office came under
• 1:00:56
  accusation of tolerating nepotism,
• 1:00:59
  cronyism. You always have to throw in
• 1:01:02
  rascalism if you have seen uh, O
• 1:01:05
  Brother, Where Art Thou? when you hear
• 1:01:07
  words like that, cronyism. Um,
• 1:01:09
  giving lucrative, largely uncompetitive
• 1:01:13
  contracts to the McKinsey consultancy.
• 1:01:17
  Critics point to the fact that Katrin
• 1:01:19
  Suder, then state secretary of the
• 1:01:21
  defense ministry was herself a veteran
• 1:01:24
  McKinsey employee. A later federal audit
• 1:01:27
  found that in most cases the ministry
• 1:01:29
  failed to justify why external
• 1:01:32
  consultants were even necessary.
• 1:01:35
  >> [laughter]
• 1:01:36
  >> That's what you do. You just call it a
• 1:01:38
  consulting fee, throw yourself a
• 1:01:40
  consultant in there, pay him a billion
• 1:01:42
  bucks, and suddenly your project gets to
• 1:01:43
  go underwater. But the consultant ends
• 1:01:46
  up wealthy and he passes the money back
• 1:01:48
  to you. That's how it works.
• 1:01:51
  Determination of the project is a severe
• 1:01:54
  blow to Rheinmetall with shares plunging
• 1:01:56
  17% in the stock's worst single day fall
• 1:02:00
  in years.
• 1:02:02
  Time to put money into it now, right?
• 1:02:05
  The first four frigates would have cost
• 1:02:06
  around 6.3 billion billion with an
• 1:02:08
  option for another four more around 5.3
• 1:02:11
  billion if exercised by the end of 2026
• 1:02:14
  pending approval from the Bundestag's
• 1:02:16
  budget committee.
• 1:02:18
  The termination of the controversial
• 1:02:20
  project comes as Germany carries out its
• 1:02:22
  largest militarization campaign in
• 1:02:24
  decades.
• 1:02:26
  With 2026 defense budget at
• 1:02:30
  108
• 1:02:32
  billion euro. Germany and other nations
• 1:02:35
  have cited the supposed Russian threat
• 1:02:38
  to justify this build-up. Moscow
• 1:02:40
  dismisses the speculation that it plans
• 1:02:42
  to attack NATO as
• 1:02:45
  nonsense. You know the word for
• 1:02:47
  nonsense, Polanski?
• 1:02:48
  It is chepukha. Chepukha is nonsense.
• 1:02:52
  Nonsense. Oh, chepukha. Nonsense. What?
• 1:02:56
  There you go.
• 1:02:57
  Anyway, that was a fun little story with
• 1:02:59
  Ursula von der Leyen taking a beating
• 1:03:02
  yet again.
• 1:03:04
  Poor her. You know, why do people attack
• 1:03:06
  her so much? Well, I don't know. Maybe
• 1:03:08
  it's because she's an unelected empress.
• 1:03:11
  She has created herself as the empress
• 1:03:14
  of the EU. She She is in charge by God.
• 1:03:18
  And don't you forget about it. Don't you
• 1:03:20
  forget about me. I had one more story.
• 1:03:23
  This one's a little more local.
• 1:03:26
  Uh
• 1:03:27
  US, you know, what here we are an
• 1:03:29
  international flavor. I give you an
• 1:03:30
  international perspective, but
• 1:03:33
  there's uh
• 1:03:35
  I'm watching this unfold on our news
• 1:03:38
  channels and in places like that that
• 1:03:40
  there was a new housing bill
• 1:03:42
  that there has been passed by the
• 1:03:44
  legislature and Trump put off signing
• 1:03:47
  it. And it'd be interesting to know why,
• 1:03:49
  but I
• 1:03:52
  I have a hard time because half time I
• 1:03:54
  think he's making it up as he goes along
• 1:03:56
  and it's what whatever
• 1:03:58
  he doesn't make any decision until he
• 1:04:01
  makes the decision. There's no planning
• 1:04:03
  involved in my opinion. It's just
• 1:04:05
  whatever whatever floats his boat on
• 1:04:07
  that particular day. And there's
• 1:04:09
  flexibility in that. That's an
• 1:04:11
  entrepreneurial spirit. So it's a I
• 1:04:13
  don't claim it is always a bad thing,
• 1:04:16
  but in politics it might be.
• 1:04:18
  I think that that
• 1:04:20
  you know, 4 years isn't long enough to
• 1:04:22
  get an agenda done anyway in America. 8
• 1:04:26
  years is rarely enough.
• 1:04:28
  And that a president's term should be
• 1:04:31
  longer than 4 years.
• 1:04:33
  Now you could argue that you need that
• 1:04:36
  flexibility on the executive branches,
• 1:04:39
  but it doesn't change the the GS level
• 1:04:42
  employees that all sit there and bake
• 1:04:46
  their entire career there that really
• 1:04:48
  run the government. Okay. Same thing in
• 1:04:51
  Missouri by the way.
• 1:04:53
  And now we'll talk about some of that
• 1:04:54
  tomorrow on
• 1:04:56
  Civic Outlaws. We've got to got to
• 1:04:59
  hopefully some interesting news and
• 1:05:02
  it should be should be going in going in
• 1:05:04
  today, but I've been impatient about it
• 1:05:06
  and I've been watching it for like a
• 1:05:08
  week now and I've got two we have been
• 1:05:11
  months actually, but but you know how
• 1:05:13
  you're at the end and you want to push
• 1:05:14
  it over the cliff and go, "Okay, now
• 1:05:16
  it's gone." Well,
• 1:05:18
  we've been on that that brink for just a
• 1:05:20
  little while and so anyway, we're going
• 1:05:22
  to talk about that. But so it was a US
• 1:05:24
  Housing Bill.
• 1:05:26
  It's called the 21st Century Road to
• 1:05:29
  Housing Act. Official Senate information
• 1:05:32
  says the Senate passed it by 85 to 5
• 1:05:36
  and describes it as a major housing
• 1:05:37
  affordability package aimed at expanding
• 1:05:40
  the supply, cutting red tape, protecting
• 1:05:43
  taxpayers, and empowering local
• 1:05:45
  communities to build more homes.
• 1:05:49
  The House Financial Services Committee
• 1:05:51
  described the bill as bipartisan and
• 1:05:54
  reported an earlier House passage by 396
• 1:05:58
  to 13.
• 1:06:00
  So, these are extremely popular among
• 1:06:04
  the reps and senators.
• 1:06:07
  I mean, that number just in itself,
• 1:06:10
  getting them to agree on anything is
• 1:06:12
  crazy and that's why you should be
• 1:06:14
  suspicious.
• 1:06:16
  If they all want it, that means the scam
• 1:06:19
  pays off for everybody. You know, they
• 1:06:21
  all get their money. Somehow everybody's
• 1:06:24
  making out like a fat cat, except I
• 1:06:26
  would assume the middle class and those
• 1:06:28
  of us who actually are affected by all
• 1:06:30
  these laws. Somebody's getting rich
• 1:06:32
  somewhere and it appears that
• 1:06:33
  everybody's getting rich somewhere if
• 1:06:36
  you're the cynical cuss that I am and so
• 1:06:39
  that's what I believe is that there's
• 1:06:41
  something crazy. So, the political drama
• 1:06:44
  is that this morning
• 1:06:46
  Trump canceled or delayed the signing
• 1:06:49
  the bill
• 1:06:51
  because he wants movement first on his
• 1:06:54
  Save America Act, a voter ID, proof of
• 1:06:57
  citizenship election bill. Now, frankly,
• 1:07:01
  I can't imagine
• 1:07:03
  why we've not had that anyway.
• 1:07:07
  You you have to have a real ID to travel
• 1:07:10
  somewhere, right? You don't have to.
• 1:07:12
  There are exceptions. I get that. You
• 1:07:14
  don't need to call and chew me out over
• 1:07:15
  that. Um, but
• 1:07:17
  uh,
• 1:07:18
  you're supposed
• 1:07:19
  if you've seen your new passport, you
• 1:07:21
  got to see the damn thing. The page
• 1:07:23
  where they put your, uh,
• 1:07:24
  chip in that that I'm they're tracking
• 1:07:26
  your passport if they aren't tracking
• 1:07:28
  you. That thing, the brand new one I
• 1:07:29
  just got, of course it's in the hands of
• 1:07:31
  the Russians right now. They still
• 1:07:33
  haven't gotten it back.
• 1:07:34
  They say I'll have it by the end of the
• 1:07:35
  month, but man, I I've got
• 1:07:38
  I need to make some plans here. And, uh,
• 1:07:41
  uh, I'm still missing my my, uh, visa
• 1:07:43
  for Russia, Mother Russia. And, uh, but
• 1:07:47
  I should have They say everything is in
• 1:07:48
  the works and it should be just fine.
• 1:07:49
  But, uh, this citizenship, uh, bill is
• 1:07:53
  important. Axios, New York Post, Times
• 1:07:56
  of India, and others are reporting the
• 1:07:57
  same standoff. Rare bipartisan housing
• 1:08:01
  legislation's being held up by Trump
• 1:08:03
  over an unrelated voting bill. And, uh,
• 1:08:06
  you know, I I think that's interesting.
• 1:08:09
  And I'm not saying I'm necessarily
• 1:08:10
  against it, but we shall see.
• 1:08:13
  Hello, caller. What may I do for you
• 1:08:15
  this morning?
• 1:08:19
  Something's going on again. You
• 1:08:22
  I That's not going to work. You're going
• 1:08:24
  to have to fix whatever it is you got
• 1:08:25
  going on and call back or go to a
• 1:08:27
  different phone line cuz, uh,
• 1:08:30
  just ain't working.
• 1:08:32
  Uh, at any rate, there you have it. Um,
• 1:08:35
  so what the bill does, allegedly,
• 1:08:37
  says it does and I haven't downloaded
• 1:08:39
  the whole thing yet. And, uh, getting a
• 1:08:42
  You know what's the beautiful part of AI
• 1:08:44
  anymore? If you haven't started using
• 1:08:45
  it, you can use it to take massive
• 1:08:47
  quantities of data and assess it for you
• 1:08:50
  or give you a quick
• 1:08:53
  rundown of what it really is. And I
• 1:08:55
  haven't taken in the whole bill yet.
• 1:08:58
  And, uh, and I want to because, uh, you
• 1:09:01
  know, I've a real estate broker in
• 1:09:02
  Florida and in Missouri and I do a lot
• 1:09:06
  of the business sorts of things and
• 1:09:08
  discuss people on their business and and
• 1:09:11
  and commercial sorts of property or
• 1:09:13
  investment property stuff like that. And
• 1:09:16
  so and and by the way CE continuing
• 1:09:19
  education, you got to do so many hours a
• 1:09:22
  year and and mine rotate. So every 2
• 1:09:24
  years you have to do however many hours
• 1:09:26
  you got to do and it's pretty cool
• 1:09:28
  because my Florida ones are due in odd
• 1:09:30
  years and my Missouri ones are due in
• 1:09:34
  even years. Happens to be an even year
• 1:09:37
  and so
• 1:09:38
  I have one more class to do and I was I
• 1:09:42
  was going to do it last night and I got
• 1:09:44
  started on it and then I was like
• 1:09:46
  cat distracted me and so I use it as an
• 1:09:48
  excuse to not do it. So here I am last
• 1:09:50
  minute got another class to do but this
• 1:09:53
  is this housing bill is part of that
• 1:09:55
  well not part of the new stuff because
• 1:09:57
  it hasn't been passed yet but I
• 1:09:58
  certainly want to know cuz anybody with
• 1:10:00
  real estate should definitely know what
• 1:10:02
  it does anyway.
• 1:10:04
  What it reportedly does
• 1:10:06
  is it's a broad housing affordability
• 1:10:09
  reform package and the major themes of
• 1:10:11
  it are to expand the housing supply
• 1:10:15
  to ease the regulatory barriers to
• 1:10:17
  building houses to improve access to
• 1:10:20
  mortgage and community bank lending
• 1:10:24
  to limit institutional private equity
• 1:10:26
  acquisition of single family homes. Now
• 1:10:30
  that
• 1:10:31
  I want to research more on its face it
• 1:10:33
  sounds
• 1:10:35
  positive you know to because what
• 1:10:39
  they're trying to do is is allow
• 1:10:41
  children
• 1:10:42
  like my children are our children but
• 1:10:44
  you know my my daughter's 41 I think and
• 1:10:47
  then
• 1:10:48
  we keep on going down line I guess my
• 1:10:49
  son is 26 and they
• 1:10:52
  um
• 1:10:54
  buying a house for them isn't like it
• 1:10:56
  was when I was a kid, you know, I mean
• 1:10:58
  it was different. I bought my first
• 1:10:59
  house when I got out of the military
• 1:11:01
  uh in Dallas.
• 1:11:03
  And uh well, a suburb of Dallas called
• 1:11:05
  Cedar Hill. And uh it was uh a pretty
• 1:11:09
  a pretty uh
• 1:11:10
  simple process. Course I'm veteran, you
• 1:11:13
  know, I had VA VA process to go through,
• 1:11:15
  it might have made it easier for it, but
• 1:11:18
  if you don't have have eligibility for
• 1:11:20
  any of those things, buying a house
• 1:11:21
  today and getting notes today and and
• 1:11:23
  and the way people make money is
• 1:11:25
  different and the way they get paid is
• 1:11:27
  different. And a lot of people work for
• 1:11:29
  themselves and they can never get, you
• 1:11:31
  know, they can't show the income
• 1:11:33
  necessary to buy a house or they don't
• 1:11:35
  have enough to put a something down. So
• 1:11:37
  it it it if if you can limit the
• 1:11:40
  institutional and private equity
• 1:11:42
  acquisition of single-family homes, I'm
• 1:11:44
  not
• 1:11:45
  as a principle against it immediately.
• 1:11:49
  But I don't want to see those places
• 1:11:51
  where they come in and they build
• 1:11:52
  cookie-cutter houses that go on for
• 1:11:54
  miles and all look the same and they're
• 1:11:57
  packed together. Like you look out your
• 1:11:59
  window and into the bedroom of your
• 1:12:01
  neighbor. It's nonsense. It and the
• 1:12:04
  there ought to be
• 1:12:06
  certain rules that go along. Anyway, I'm
• 1:12:08
  very interested in finding out what this
• 1:12:10
  does, but I'm more interested in the in
• 1:12:12
  the jockeying for position that's going
• 1:12:14
  on. So the
• 1:12:16
  the other part of the bill, it reforms
• 1:12:18
  or extends
• 1:12:20
  certain federal housing and disaster
• 1:12:22
  recovery programs. Well, this is where
• 1:12:25
  they hide money. And that's why all
• 1:12:29
  these people are for it would be my
• 1:12:31
  initial cynical take of it. And I'm not
• 1:12:34
  saying I'm against it, you know, we
• 1:12:35
  don't have any control over any of this
• 1:12:37
  stuff anyway. Those guys will do you
• 1:12:40
  might think you do, but you don't.
• 1:12:42
  >> [laughter]
• 1:12:42
  >> You don't control any of this. It is
• 1:12:45
  done by people way out of your league
• 1:12:47
  and and and saying things doesn't
• 1:12:50
  necessarily, well, very rarely help,
• 1:12:53
  okay? So, but the real political story
• 1:12:56
  is that Trump had a bipartisan win, and
• 1:12:59
  he's got it, and instead of taking that
• 1:13:01
  win, he wants to use that win for his
• 1:13:04
  constant art of the deal.
• 1:13:06
  Well,
• 1:13:07
  strategically,
• 1:13:09
  I frankly, I'm not against that. If if I
• 1:13:12
  think if he wants this voter ID,
• 1:13:15
  if you whether you support it or not,
• 1:13:17
  the strategic question for Trump is does
• 1:13:19
  linking an unrelated bill make him look
• 1:13:22
  strong,
• 1:13:23
  or does it make him look unserious about
• 1:13:26
  passing law? Well,
• 1:13:28
  I have a mixed opinion about that.
• 1:13:31
  I think but it's because in part of it
• 1:13:34
  that I support a voter ID and always
• 1:13:36
  have.
• 1:13:37
  You know, I think it's an it's a
• 1:13:39
  ludicrous and idiotic argument to claim,
• 1:13:43
  "Gee, those inner-city
• 1:13:45
  poor folk, the brown people can't afford
• 1:13:48
  a $10 ID. They have ID. They got to open
• 1:13:52
  a bank account, for God's sake."
• 1:13:55
  You know, even even the lowest of of low
• 1:13:58
  earning potential have to show an ID to
• 1:14:01
  get into places.
• 1:14:03
  You know how you get Okay, they have to
• 1:14:05
  show ID to buy their alcohol if they you
• 1:14:07
  know, you're saying that they they don't
• 1:14:08
  you know, if you believe what you
• 1:14:10
  believe about the inner city, you think
• 1:14:13
  they don't drink there?
• 1:14:14
  And they can't afford it? So, "Oh geez,
• 1:14:17
  we can't we can't require them to
• 1:14:18
  provide That's the biggest scam going on
• 1:14:21
  forever, and all of us know it. The
• 1:14:24
  Democrats know it, too. They just sell
• 1:14:26
  it to you in the way of saying it's
• 1:14:29
  disadvantageous
• 1:14:31
  to people of color, and they can't let
• 1:14:34
  people
• 1:14:35
  What it really means is people who
• 1:14:37
  aren't allowed to vote cannot vote.
• 1:14:41
  And what about a national election
• 1:14:43
  registry? What about that? Hell, they're
• 1:14:46
  going to start tracking you on your
• 1:14:47
  phone anyway. You know they're already
• 1:14:49
  trying to get Android and Apple, which
• 1:14:51
  they already do, to have you log in into
• 1:14:53
  their phone and then they know exactly
• 1:14:55
  where you are. So, it's not really going
• 1:14:56
  to save you much anyway, if you still
• 1:14:58
  have a phone.
• 1:15:00
  Unless you go buy a Huawei, which I
• 1:15:02
  um I've I've I've owned one and I'm
• 1:15:04
  thinking of buying another one, but uh
• 1:15:05
  the Android update that I had doesn't
• 1:15:07
  matter. Old story.
• 1:15:10
  But, think about this. Let's be a
• 1:15:11
  skeptic for for a minute.
• 1:15:13
  Housing really is a crisis, okay, for
• 1:15:16
  for younger people especially.
• 1:15:19
  Uh
• 1:15:19
  if Congress actually passed a bipartisan
• 1:15:22
  bill, one of very, very few,
• 1:15:27
  very few, in in in, you know, uh recent
• 1:15:32
  years,
• 1:15:34
  holding that bill hostage for a
• 1:15:37
  unrelated voter ID demand
• 1:15:40
  might look a little bit reckless or a a
• 1:15:43
  performance. It's a show. But, what else
• 1:15:45
  do you expect from Trump? He's a
• 1:15:47
  showman.
• 1:15:48
  And uh uh you know, he's he's the
• 1:15:50
  greatest show on Earth.
• 1:15:52
  And he doesn't even have to have a
• 1:15:53
  flying trapeze.
• 1:15:56
  But, Trump believes election integrity
• 1:15:58
  is a foundation.
• 1:16:00
  Frankly, uh if you believe in democracy,
• 1:16:03
  it should be
• 1:16:05
  a foundation.
• 1:16:07
  But, he could see the Save America Act
• 1:16:10
  as more important than an ordinary
• 1:16:12
  domestic housing bill.
• 1:16:13
  It'll take a while for that bill to take
• 1:16:15
  effect anyway or to assist the people
• 1:16:17
  that actually need it. If it's really
• 1:16:20
  for that and not for uh screwing them
• 1:16:22
  further and and passing out money to the
• 1:16:25
  rich uh in another form, which is
• 1:16:28
  constant anyway.
• 1:16:30
  So,
• 1:16:31
  if you take that point of view, using
• 1:16:33
  this as leverage, it doesn't create case
• 1:16:35
  uh
• 1:16:36
  chaos, it's playing hardball.
• 1:16:38
  And if you believe that Trump is the Art
• 1:16:40
  of the Deal master, well,
• 1:16:42
  it's not a not a bad uh a not a bad
• 1:16:45
  position to take.
• 1:16:48
  Uh you know, taking a position when you
• 1:16:50
  when you have them with something they
• 1:16:52
  want, why not hold it over their head?
• 1:16:55
  I'm not saying I would do it, but it
• 1:16:57
  it's not unreasonable to take that
• 1:16:59
  position. A lot of lawyers play that
• 1:17:01
  way, for sure.
• 1:17:03
  So, the the political mismatches is
• 1:17:06
  this. A lot of voters understand housing
• 1:17:08
  costs immediately and fights over voter
• 1:17:11
  ID are far more ideological and a split
• 1:17:14
  down the middle. Everybody gets housing
• 1:17:17
  cost. It's like the cost of at the pump
• 1:17:19
  for your gasoline. Everybody gets that.
• 1:17:23
  And that that's why if if uh Trump
• 1:17:26
  doesn't solve or figure out something
• 1:17:29
  about the war he and Netanyahu started
• 1:17:32
  in Iran, that it's such a
• 1:17:34
  pain for the rest of us cuz Jesus back
• 1:17:35
  in February we're paying 250 a gallon
• 1:17:37
  for gas.
• 1:17:39
  You know, and so
• 1:17:41
  people understand housing and not being
• 1:17:43
  able to get a home. Trust me, they get
• 1:17:45
  that.
• 1:17:46
  Where voter ID, they might not give a
• 1:17:48
  crap cuz you can't change the you can't
• 1:17:51
  change anything with your one little
• 1:17:52
  vote anyway.
• 1:17:53
  And many people believe that way.
• 1:17:57
  So, delayed housing relief is going to
• 1:17:59
  be hard to defend to families that are
• 1:18:02
  priced out of homes or the ability to
• 1:18:04
  buy them.
• 1:18:05
  So, Democrats are going to say he had a
• 1:18:08
  bipartisan win on a housing deal and he
• 1:18:11
  turned it into another loyalty test.
• 1:18:14
  Right?
• 1:18:15
  This is Trump 2.0.
• 1:18:18
  Uh this is how he
• 1:18:20
  uh
• 1:18:22
  acts as president, especially in the
• 1:18:23
  second term.
• 1:18:24
  Anyway.
• 1:18:26
  So,
• 1:18:26
  I don't know. I haven't haven't um
• 1:18:30
  put too much thought process into there.
• 1:18:34
  It's um
• 1:18:37
  you know
• 1:18:40
  It's an interesting
• 1:18:42
  thought process. When it comes, when it
• 1:18:44
  gets signed, we will
• 1:18:47
  certainly pay attention to it and keep
• 1:18:50
  track of this over the next little bit.
• 1:18:53
  I had and and it's toward the end of the
• 1:18:55
  show and I'm going to play it cuz it's a
• 1:18:57
  very short song any who
• 1:19:00
  and I wanted to play
• 1:19:03
  this for you because and and and uh
• 1:19:07
  it
• 1:19:08
  basically is
• 1:19:11
  uh among my favorites
• 1:19:14
  and I have No, you know what? I'm not
• 1:19:16
  going to be able to play it. I can't
• 1:19:17
  can't find it quick enough.
• 1:19:20
  And uh
• 1:19:26
  Um we're going to try to find it, I
• 1:19:28
  suppose, and then and then play that one
• 1:19:31
  song for you and it's pretty short. It's
• 1:19:33
  not even uh
• 1:19:34
  not even 3 minutes and so we'll go ahead
• 1:19:37
  and play it and uh
• 1:19:39
  and see what you get. It's a love song
• 1:19:42
  and it's not Ruskom.
• 1:19:44
  And so we're going to have fun with it
• 1:19:46
  just because my show and I can.

• 1:22:47
  We had a caller but the noise is is I
• 1:22:50
  don't know what's going on with his
• 1:22:51
  phone but uh
• 1:22:53
  we got nothing. If you want to try
• 1:22:54
  again, please do but I I I got nothing.
• 1:22:58
  And except some kind of a weird stuff in
• 1:23:01
  the background. And so whatever's
• 1:23:03
  happening try it again. There's only a
• 1:23:05
  few minutes left of the old program.
• 1:23:07
  Anyhoo
• 1:23:08
  and but I will pick up and let you
• 1:23:10
  finish it out if you would like. Um
• 1:23:14
  let's see here.
• 1:23:15
  There were a couple other interestings.
• 1:23:17
  There was a a French teenager killed by
• 1:23:20
  a migrant gang
• 1:23:22
  sparking national outrage. Five suspects
• 1:23:27
  were tracked down after they filmed the
• 1:23:31
  the attack.
• 1:23:33
  And he was the kid was fighting for his
• 1:23:35
  life for days. The brutal beating to
• 1:23:37
  death of a 17-year-old boy in France by
• 1:23:39
  a group of teenagers described as a
• 1:23:42
  migrant gang has sparked public outrage
• 1:23:44
  across country. The attack which
• 1:23:46
  authorities have called an ambush took
• 1:23:48
  place last Friday at a construction site
• 1:23:51
  in the southern city of Narbonne.
• 1:23:54
  All right caller, let's try this one
• 1:23:56
  more time. You only got a few minutes.
• 1:23:59
  >> That's okay. Can you hear me?
• 1:24:00
  >> I can now, yes.
• 1:24:03
  >> Awesome.
• 1:24:04
  Um
• 1:24:06
  What What's the big deal about uh
• 1:24:09
  voter registration if uh
• 1:24:11
  there's there's minimal fraud and uh
• 1:24:14
  election fraud and and uh
• 1:24:16
  Trump's got it in the bag anyways.
• 1:24:19
  Yeah
• 1:24:20
  what what
• 1:24:20
  >> I don't think he's got it in the bag. I
• 1:24:22
  think he's I think he's in for a rude
• 1:24:24
  awakening come November. That's what I
• 1:24:26
  think. But but I could be wrong. I don't
• 1:24:28
  I don't follow that as much as I ought
• 1:24:30
  to, but I also don't spout off you know
• 1:24:33
  that victory is here victory is not. You
• 1:24:36
  know, I have my own theory and I just
• 1:24:37
  gave it to you and I don't think he is
• 1:24:41
  seen as positively now as he was 2 years
• 1:24:43
  ago.
• 1:24:45
  >> Exactly.
• 1:24:47
  A lot of a lot of voters didn't turn out
• 1:24:50
  because they were upset with Kamala
• 1:24:52
  about her
• 1:24:54
  pro-Israel stance.
• 1:24:56
  >> Well, she she wasn't
• 1:24:59
  in my view she was a non-choice. That
• 1:25:01
  was some
• 1:25:02
  I can't imagine choosing that
• 1:25:05
  type of person and I know that. I mean,
• 1:25:09
  I don't care you know, the fact that
• 1:25:10
  she's a woman doesn't bother me. Fact
• 1:25:12
  she's black doesn't bother me remotely.
• 1:25:13
  But but the the the fact that she's not
• 1:25:17
  too bright
• 1:25:18
  that bothers me. And
• 1:25:20
  >> How do you figure she's not too bright
• 1:25:22
  cuz Trump says it?
• 1:25:23
  >> No, because I watch her and I and I
• 1:25:26
  and I followed her too. I take that
• 1:25:29
  choice pretty seriously and and I and I
• 1:25:31
  watch and I try to listen. Put together
• 1:25:33
  something for me that makes me
• 1:25:36
  understand what you think you would do
• 1:25:38
  for the country and she had nothing.
• 1:25:42
  Listen to her now allegedly running in
• 1:25:44
  California. Go just just put her pull
• 1:25:46
  her up now and if you can articulate a
• 1:25:49
  real plan for anything other than I'm a
• 1:25:51
  black lawyer woman vote for me. That's
• 1:25:55
  all that that's all that there is and
• 1:25:58
  there was no no profile of hers that
• 1:26:01
  would be anything except I got the
• 1:26:03
  support of the Hollywood elite. I got
• 1:26:05
  the support of the Democratic elite and
• 1:26:07
  all the elite support me because they
• 1:26:10
  I'm pliable to them. I can be controlled
• 1:26:13
  by them. That's what I believe. I'll let
• 1:26:15
  you have the last word but I only got a
• 1:26:17
  couple of minutes.
• 1:26:19
  >> Only got a couple minutes. Uh
• 1:26:22
  Well, this um
• 1:26:25
  It just seems like it's a
• 1:26:27
  it's going to be a wash to me. Uh
• 1:26:29
  there's there's not a wash. It's going
• 1:26:31
  to be
• 1:26:31
  they're
• 1:26:32
  they're going to get run over. There's
• 1:26:34
  there's no way that that Trump is going
• 1:26:36
  to People are
• 1:26:37
  Peo- People are are have caught him in
• 1:26:40
  his lies and and uh
• 1:26:42
  um just
• 1:26:43
  less less people are just following him
• 1:26:45
  blindly, I think.
• 1:26:47
  >> Well, the question is whether or not you
• 1:26:49
  feel positive about the direction we're
• 1:26:51
  going or negative. That's the usual, in
• 1:26:53
  my opinion, in a midterm. And I think
• 1:26:57
  most people see what's going on in a
• 1:26:59
  negative light.
• 1:27:01
  >> Do you know what uh
• 1:27:03
  Rhino Liner is? Bed Liner in a pickup
• 1:27:05
  truck?
• 1:27:05
  >> I do. I have it in my pickup truck.
• 1:27:08
  >> But you Does Does it stay on on on your
• 1:27:11
  pickup bed?
• 1:27:13
  >> It did for pretty good. I put it on it
• 1:27:14
  last Did about 5 6 years. I've given
• 1:27:16
  that truck to my son, and it and it
• 1:27:18
  still, for the most part, but on the
• 1:27:20
  tailgate, it chips off quite a bit.
• 1:27:24
  >> What I'm What I'm getting at is uh
• 1:27:27
  No Nobody's buying his his vandalism
• 1:27:30
  with the with the pool. The man will
• 1:27:32
  just stand up and and and outright lie.
• 1:27:35
  And
• 1:27:36
  and uh
• 1:27:37
  he's still saying the Iran war Iran war
• 1:27:40
  was uh
• 1:27:42
  won the first week.
• 1:27:43
  >> Yeah, that's that's not a victory.
• 1:27:45
  >> There's only a limited number of
• 1:27:47
  There's There's only a limited number of
• 1:27:48
  people that's that's uh
• 1:27:50
  going to
• 1:27:51
  going to accept that kind of
• 1:27:53
  >> It's a very limited number of people
• 1:27:55
  because the the facts are against him.
• 1:27:59
  >> Yeah. Uh
• 1:28:01
  Sure are.
• 1:28:01
  >> [laughter]
• 1:28:03
