• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the program.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We're going to dive into this latest deal. There's actually
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: a few things that we have to touch on today.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: One of them, obviously, being the whole situation with James Tallarico,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: which we'll get into as well. We're also going to unpack.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Some of this. Well, it's Columbus Day. Happy Columbus Day
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to those who.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I know you have parades and stuff on Columbus Day,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: but it's... It's interesting because I feel like that we
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: went from... I just remember as a kid, it was
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a real thing. Not that it wasn't ever a real thing,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: but it was something that you celebrated or that you
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: recognized in school.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And then what... At some point, we stopped doing that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I can't actually pinpoint it, but we stopped doing it
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: at some point.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And this.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And this whole thing of not, you know, not recognizing
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it is, I don't know, like, when did that start?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: When did it start? I think it was the later
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: years of Obama, like the last, his second term. Yeah. Well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I think it was before then.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was something that we had stopped
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: doing in.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Elementary.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it was like maybe junior high for me. Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: because I remember it went from being something where it
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was in the fall and we would, I mean, we
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: had all kinds of activities that we did and then
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: suddenly it just went away and I never paid attention
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to it until I became an adult. And when I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: became an adult, I'm like, wait a minute, why is
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it that we don't do a lot of stuff for Columbus?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And then you just didn't even learn about Christopher Columbus.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Or if you did learn about Christopher Columbus, it was
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: in the context of he's a big bad slaver. Which
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is why I thought it was really ironic that Zoran
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Mandani went out and was talking about how, because I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: think the thing that everyone does now is they do,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: what is it, Indigenous People Day or something like that?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The hell is that?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I say this as somebody that Democrats want to pretend
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that we're acknowledging. If you want to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples Day,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: how about you let Native Americans, or American Indians rather,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: how about you let them own their own property instead
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of making it to where they got to lease it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: from the damn government Like Greenland citizens do.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: How about you do that?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think people realize that, but that's true. All
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of these people on the left, they talk so much
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: about it. But I think that that was honestly, I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: bring up Columbus Day, not to have this big circular
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: discussion about it, because I think for me and what
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I've recognized, that that is one of the earliest exercises
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of critical race theory. even before we all started talking
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: about it in 2011 and 2012. I think it's one
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of the earliest examples of critical race theory because that's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: when it was really very much, and they went after
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the Italians, and they're like, oh, well, they can't appreciate
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: their history because Christopher Columbus brought disease and all kinds
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of stuff and all of the, right? That's what I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think it was. I think it's genuinely that. I think
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it's genuinely that. So, Zohri Mandani, and I had tweeted
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Let me pull this up. Bear with me. One eye.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He is skipping the Columbus Day Parade. Now, what was
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the other thing? He skipped a couple of things.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, this was after they came out
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: with their map of New York, where they entirely erased
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Little Italy off of the map of New York. So now,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: according to the New York Post, he's skipping the Columbus
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Day Parade. I think this is one of the latest
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: middle fingers that he's given to the Italian community in
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: New York. So he's skipping the parade is what he's doing.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That's not going to go over well with the folks.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So the New York Post said that it's because it's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: up today.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It goes up Fifth Avenue. Every other mayor has always
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ever gone there. I don't remember.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like when you're a politician, you want
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to be seen at these events. But man, Donnie is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like he's very purposefully doing these things where he's he'll prioritize.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Certain communities and then other communities.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: He's giving the giant finger to is.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: What he's doing. So I'm just fascinated by this. The latest.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: They said it's not a huge surprise.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of people in the Italian community were thinking
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that he was going to do this anyway. He in 2020,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he had a picture of the Christopher Columbus statue in
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Astoria in Queens, and he gave the finger to it
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and said, take it down. So that's what that was
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in 2020. I think it's still there, actually. And he
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: had said, take it down. That's going to go a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: long way for helping normalize relations. The irony, though, of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: him saying something like that, of him accusing, and he's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: done this in previous, in some of his speeches before,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: where he's said in one of his quotes was that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Christopher Columbus was a colonist that abused and displaced Native Americans.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: That's what the New York Post says, that he was
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And he has consistently in the years since he had
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that post has consistently described it as that. He says
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that it's people around him said, oh, he hates Columbus.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He hates Columbus, but he thinks he's called him a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: big colonizer. I find that to be incredibly ironic, given
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the fact that his ideology is one of the biggest
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: colonizing forces that the planet has ever seen.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: His Islamic ideology. Look at, look what, I mean, if, oh, you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Disagreed, then tell me what, who's, what happened to the big,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: what happened to the big Hagia Sophia in Istanbul?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: What happened there?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: What happened to Iran, a Persian nation that was mostly
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: what Zoroastrian and, you know, a combination of some other
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Arab and Muslim are not the same thing. Most Muslims
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are Arab, but not every Arab is a Muslim. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I remember, I will never forget this. I was on CNN.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh, when was this? It was back when I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was a token there.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I was on CNN and I literally had, I think
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it was Media Matters, went after me because I made
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that point. I made the point, and I think we
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: were talking about Iran at the time, and I made
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the point that Well, yes, not every you know, these
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: are these are Persians.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: They're not Muslim, et cetera.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: And I remember somebody on the left on CNN that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: was on this panel that we were on got so
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: mad at me and was saying that it was racist
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to accurately note that there are you have. Persians and Arabs, really,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that there's two different things, and then not every Arab
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is a Muslim. I'm just it shocks me to no end,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the ignorance of the left. But look at Iran. Look
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: at Africa. My gosh, look at what's happening in Niger
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and in Sudan. Look at what's happening in these places. Look,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's insane. So this idea that he goes out there
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and says these things and makes these claims is is asinine.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But part of it and I and I think this
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: is really important.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I want to go back to this because I said
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: that Columbus Day and my estimation, because in school we
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: did all of these things for Columbus Day and then
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden it stopped because And then all
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of a sudden Christopher Columbus was a big bad guy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But it is really the earliest exercise of critical race
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: theory that I can imagine because that's the first time
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that we were ever really, it was really pushed at
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: us in my memory to question these totems of our republic,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: these things that were formative.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Touch points in our republic and question them.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And then from questioning that, thereby questioning the entirety of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: our existence and our legitimacy.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Because that's what it comes down to.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Critical race theory is demanding that you question your legitimacy
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: because of the fallibility of the people who created your country.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That you are somehow less than because... But everybody.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Isn't a country or a place on this planet that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: has not dealt with us.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: But he is so pointed... And trying to.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Slice out and demote in a cultural status sense everybody
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: else but Muslims in New York.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And I know I'm not the only one that knows that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: You all see it too.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar was raided on Columbus Day, which I find
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: chef's kiss, absolute chef's kiss.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: This, I was looking at some of the stories on this.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much you got all followed this morning,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: but she was raided this morning. They were probing her
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: immigration paperwork. According to numerous sources, Ilhan Omar on Columbus Day, again,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: chef's kiss, was raided early, early this morning by the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security as part of an ongoing criminal
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: fraud investigation into said paperwork. And they said that they
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: executed this search warrant And the enforcement action, here's the key,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is part of an ongoing federal investigation.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So she's being informed.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And there were a lot of questions. If you remember
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: about her, how she came to obtain her citizenship, how
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: her marriage, there was a lot here. There was a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: lot there. And they said that it's ongoing.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Now remember her son's friend was rated to just, What
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: was that, like two or three months ago? Her son's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: friend ended up being raided. But witnesses saw, I mean,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: there's photos of it. They were carrying box after box
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: after box after box out of.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Her home in D.C.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: So we can't do it without tipping the hat to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the people who make it possible. And that's Ghostbed, this segment.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I actually literally have this mattress. And I literally, hands
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to sky, sleep on this mattress every night. I also
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: have this pillow.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It's great. GhostBed is made right here in the U.S.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of A.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And it is engineered specifically to reduce all of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: reasons that your sleep gets interrupted. So if you like
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you're tossing and turning at night or you're overheating, y'all,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that is not you. That is your mattress. And maybe
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you like the mattress that you're on. I promise you
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: it's a hobo peacock compared to the GhostBed. It is
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: so GhostBed so much better. You're going to know it just.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Right out of the gate. The material is better. the seaming,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the construction.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, they build these things because they believe that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: mattresses are a piece of health equipment. And I've never
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: actually thought of a mattress that way, but it makes sense.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Think about how many hours a day you're in your mattress.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You're sleeping, you're recharging, you're restoring. If you're not waking
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: up restored, this is actually, your mattress could be detrimental
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to your health.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So get a better mattress.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: And with GhostBed, Cooling Tech is built into every single
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: one of their mattresses. This is not some expensive upgrade

• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: This is one of the nicest stories I've seen. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: sometimes we don't get a lot of nice stories like this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: A kind-hearted teen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't realize that he was being filmed. Someone was filming
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: him surreptitiously. And he was seen giving the shoes off
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of his feet to a disabled elderly man that he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: saw on the street.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It was in Arizona.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: This 18-year-old kid named Jordan Hope, he was driving by
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: at Walgreens parking lot in Maricopa on Sunday. He saw
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: an old man moving slowly using a walker. And the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: guy told, because media found, the person recording it posted
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it online and it went viral.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And they found him.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: And he just said, I just felt like God was
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: telling me to go over there, turn around and give
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: him some new slides. So I just took off my
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: shoes and gave them to him. And then he was
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: going to drive off. But then he said something told
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: him to turn back. He found the man inside Walgreens
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: trying to buy candy. And so he paid for the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: guy's food and then learned that the man's wife had died,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: had died just two weeks earlier. And he said, he goes,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I just think you needed a friend. He goes, it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: hard asking for help sometimes. So he actually helped him out,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: got him lunch. all of this stuff. And they've stayed
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: in touch. A GoFundMe has been launched to help raise
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: money for the man.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But it was so nice.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It was an 18-year-old that did that. And it was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: not staged because normally everybody's so jaded and I get it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And they think that everything is staged for social media.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The person who filmed it had no idea who it was.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: They just knew that he was a young man. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they said, they posted it online saying whoever raised this
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: young man to do this, you know, great parenting, kudos
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And it went viral.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Somebody recognized who it was and reached out and they notified.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, the media, man, what a nice feel-good story
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that is. This, I don't think the tigers should be
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: euthanized at all, because especially after I saw the security
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: around this enclosure. So this guy in Northern England tried to, well,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: he jumped into a tiger enclosure at a wildlife park,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and there's video of it. It all happened on Saturday.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He jumped in. It's the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: He jumped into this enclosure that includes all bears and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: tigers and the tiger i don't know if the tiger
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: was mauling and tiger was definitely playing with him the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: tiger could have killed him if he wanted to but
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the tiger that enclosure has like crazy wire fencing and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it is very you can see as the camera zooms
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in how hard it is to get in there They
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: made it really hard to get in there. That tiger
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: better not be put down because this guy's an idiot.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And the guy, like, sat in front of it and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: tried to pray in front of him. What did you
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: think was going to happen? But, look, the tiger, if
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you're watching the video on the simulcast, this tiger, if
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: he wanted to kill him, he'd have killed him. He'd
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: have absolutely killed him if he wanted to. But this,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. They said that the.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: They said, oh, the tiger attacked the man. He was
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: seriously injured. The tiger was playing with him.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Sorry, he was. But they said that people.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: The authorities have to do a better job making sure
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: people know that animals are dangerous. I think if you
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: don't realize that, maybe this is natural selection. As we move,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the folks who will make the program possible, it's our
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: friends at Berna. I always carry, I have no problem
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: popping a baddie full of lead if they pose a
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: threat to me or my family. If someone wants to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: F-A-F-O and they want to get on the business in
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: one of my guns, I'm your huckleberry. I also realize
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that sometimes some of you might have to go to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: places where you can't carry. Some of you might be
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: 20-year-old college kids. I mean, sure, when you're 18, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: can go and carry full auto somewhere else, but God
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: forbid if you carry, you know, a 22 to defend
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: yourself walking to class or walking home from class at
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock at night. This is where Berna comes in. Really,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you could argue it's kind of what it was made for.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It's an option to have, not a replacement, but it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: an option to have when your options are limited. And
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: so to that effect, It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: can deter a threat from up to 60 feet away.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: It's not a gun.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. And it
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. Compare that to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: maybe two, one or two rounds with a taser or
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: stun gun. So you order it online and it goes
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: right to your door. There's no background checks. There's no
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: waiting periods. It's roughly the size of an iPhone. There's
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: no recoil, easy target acquisition. This is a great option
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to have when your options are limited. So right now,

• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Bottom of this third hour.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: We got a lot to break down with our very
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: good friend Stephen Yates, who is so generous with his time.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And if you don't know this walking encyclopedia of a man,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: he served in not one but two presidential administrations. He's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He has his
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: own podcast, which sounds so nice to say. Nation States
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: with Yates. How nice is that? Like, I just have
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the Dana show and he is nation states with Yates.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It sounds so nice. It's on X, wherever you get
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: your podcasts. He joins us now via video. My good friend.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: It's so nice to see you. I want to ask
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you your thoughts about this podcast. Russian diesel deal, because
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we need diesel. Actually, we need refineries is what really
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: we need more than anything else. We need refinery expansion.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: But the deal that was announced on Friday to ease
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: fuel prices for consumers, I know he's got his eye
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: on midterm elections, was to get an immediate supply from Russia, 300,000
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: metric tons of diesel to not just the U.S., but
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: also put out in the global marketplace as well. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: then they have, I think, a future shipment of 500,000
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: on top of that. And they're going to lift the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: energy sanctions to be able to accommodate the imports. I
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: know you know this, but for those watching, there's been
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of pushback on this. And Trump said energy
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. What are your thoughts on this?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And to dovetail into that, is it really Russian diesel
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: or are they getting it from China?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Well, Dana, there is a lot to this. And as
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: with everything in this era we live in, we don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: really get to know how much of this is shaping
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and moving communications versus a declaration of what's about to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: really happen. So if you've lived through this last year,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: you've heard a lot of things said about a civilization
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: that might have a deal or might be obliterated off
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the face of the earth. And we don't have either
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: of those yet. And so this kind of announcement could
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: go in that direction. But what's very, very clear, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I think what's very, very appropriate for the president, is
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: that we do have some sensitivity to global market prices.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: The way this war is being fought is affecting those
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: global prices because not only have we in our infinite
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: stupidity withheld the ability to refine things ourselves, which we
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: are immensely capable of. But because of the green new scam,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: we have denied ourselves that that's going to take some
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: time in lieu of that. It's been Russia supplies and
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: some other refineries that have played a dominant role in
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the global diesel market in terms of these prices. So
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: it's hitting us now. Whether people like it or not,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you might not put diesel in your truck or your car,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: but it fuels a lot of our economy. And so
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: this is a situation. I think, to markets first and foremost.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: There's huge problems about.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Getting this from Russia. It is sort of inflammatory with
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: regard to the conflict with Ukraine. It is sanctioned activity
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: that presidents do have the ability to waive. But all
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, those 535 shadow presidents and shadow secretaries
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: of state are on Capitol Hill have opinions about these
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: kinds of things. And there's still some things that we
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: need to do between the White House and Capitol Hill
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: before all is said and done. So I'm more of
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the mind that this was more signal to markets and
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: to multiple players. And we'll see where does the energy
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: really come from and go.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the thing because it's, I mean, Russia's,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't even describe them necessarily as a frenemy.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a geopolitical foe. And they've been trying.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that they're behind a lot of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the social media division that we've been seeing in the
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: United States and a lot of these psyops on a
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: lot of these social accounts. I mean, I think that
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they and China and Qatar and Iran really are behind
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of this. And it just seems like we're
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: taking a step back by working with them. I just
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: keep thinking, is there anybody else that we can get fuel?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Does it have to be Russia?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I am not an expert on where we get
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: all the diesel in the world, but I speak with
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: people who are and I get the distinct impression that
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: this is one of the choke points in that supply.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And this is really one of those. ugly decisions that
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: a generation or two of bad decisions puts us in.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: We don't have good, clean options right now. We have good,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: clean options in the future if we get things right.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And I think we're doing some things to move in
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that direction. But that's not today and that's not next year.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: And so just like even today where I would argue
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: that The world's most damaging and dangerous virus came with
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: lies and death and market crashes. And fentanyl came and
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: stole too many lives. We still buy things that we
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: need from China, even today. And so this is not
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: we don't live in a global market or even just
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: in terms of taking care of America's core needs. where
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: we only buy from clean and admirable sources. We are
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: buying things from adversaries now. I don't like it. I
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: don't want it. That's why I support strategic decoupling.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: That's why I support.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Revival of using all that the creator endowed this wondrous
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: country with and why we should push stupidity to the
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: fringes and people need to wake up. Hopefully, this is
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: not about your feels about the president or price at
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: the pump when you're voting in November. There's a lot
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: going on here and we can't afford to turn back
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: this course correction we're in the middle of because we
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: go back to complete dependency on this in greater ways
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: if we change course.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Switching from this and looking at, well, not totally, looking
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: at the Middle East now. Saudi Arabia, very interesting headline
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: that I was reading about. They need allies against the Houthis.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Will it turn to Israel to get some greater alliance
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: because that's, I mean, they've been, that's probably one of
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: their strongest partners in, well, it is their strongest partner
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: in the area. Um, and it was interesting after, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the flight that, uh, that was grounded there and the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: attacks that they've been getting on from the Houthis and
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: all this.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, clearly it's becoming.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: More and more evident to Riyadh that there's, it would,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: it would benefit them to have I guess, more normalized
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: association with Israel is that are they heading in that direction?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Because it seems like they're right on the cusp of it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's why they're being pushed so much by
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the Houthis and by others as a way to like
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: punish them for gradually sort of shifting closer to maybe
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords or at least more normalized relations.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Well, there definitely is a long term struggle for mastery
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East. It's civilizational and it's within the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: broader Muslim community as well. But there's I think we
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: focus on the lessons that we're learning because we're Americans
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: and we look in our own navel and we study
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: things that matter to us. But there are lessons that
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia and its neighbors are learning today. from this conflict.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: And one of them is that the origins of all
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: their problems are not the United States.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And they knew.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: And this is why in Trump 1.0, the maximum pressure
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: campaign against Iran had legs. And why in the end
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: of that first term, the first round of Abraham Accords
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: was able to move forward. because a lot of the
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: region was sort of wising up to the trap that
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: everything begins with the so-called two-state solution and a Palestinian state.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: And that is not where things begin and end. They're
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: settling in on that. They have not yet, but are
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: beginning to realize that the United Arab Emirates was correct
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: and early in warning, not just their neighbors, but also
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Western civilization more broadly, right in London. a top leader
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: of the UAE, was saying, you guys need to listen
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: to us when it comes to political Islam. We have
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood. It is a terrorist ideology and organization.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: And the West, broadly, especially Europe and the UK, have
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: paid dearly for ignoring that warning from an authoritative source. Well,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Riyadh sort of looks at its neighbors as little brothers
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: and And now it's going to need the help of
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: these little brothers to take on what should be the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: littler folk of the Houthis.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But they've got to do it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: And we can play a supporting role. I don't think
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: this should be an American-led effort. Yes, the United States
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: and Israel have technology that are uniquely helpful in this.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And that, I think, is one of the core lessons
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: for the awakening that should be occurring in Saudi Arabia.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: We're talking with our friend Stephen Yates.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You can find him on X as well at Steve Yates,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: host of Nation States with Yates. You know, at first
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: when I saw this headline, I just kind of dismissed
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: it because I just thought it was just some like quacks,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: some cranks that were going after the newly announced press secretary.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: These accusations about China alignment Where is this coming from?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Because they were accusing the new White House press secretary
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: of having deep ties to communist China and having worked
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: for a communist Chinese law firm.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: What is the truth of this? I mean, if anybody's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: going to know it, you would.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I do know Katie and I've talked with her
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: at length about her experience in China because we've had
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the privilege of being on some similar television shows, including
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: around the summit's with our two leaders. She lived for
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: three years in Beijing working for a law firm. I mean,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: there's sort of a cottage industry that I'm a part
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: of and I'm familiar with where people sort of take
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: a profile of who are key people in key positions,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: where have they been, what are their associations? And that's
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: sort of the elementary school level of analysis. Just because
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: someone was in a particular place or firm doesn't mean
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: that they are part of that board. It can be,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: so it means ask a little bit more. But if
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: you look at what Katie has said over her years
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: of freedom, and I know what it's like to serve
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: in government when you're not free with your speech, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: then when you get your freedom, the things you talk about.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: She's an extraordinary human being. I mean, people just look
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: at sort of the Fox News profile and they assume things.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: They look at someone who lived in Beijing for three
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: years and they assume things. But look at the human being.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: She was within, as she says, like a half an
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: hour of being aborted. She grew up in an adoptive situation.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I have a deep, deep heart for people who go
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: through adoptions. And it is something that affects your identity
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: at its core. It's a beautiful American thing. The rest
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: of the world doesn't do this the way we do.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: That's a part of her. She's very faith-based. And yes,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: she had experience in China. She learned a bit of
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: the realities of China. When she came back and went
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: on television, she was talking about how the CCP is
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest threats to the American way of life.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Talking about not letting advanced tech go to China. Was
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: talking about how President Trump was helping put America in
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: a better position to negotiate success for us, not for them.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: And so on substance, the person I've come to know
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: really aligned more with me than with what she's.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Being accused of.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: And we can't just broadly brush people who go to
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: China as being under their lure. We should watch out
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: for that. And we should make sure those influences don't
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: come back to the United States. But we do have
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: some good people walking among us. And I consider Katie
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: to be one of them.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Well, and to your point, I would, you know, if
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the accusation is that she was in China and worked
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: in China, thus she is, I guess they're trying to
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: say she's a foreign agent or she's a communist herself.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't she come back sounding like Tim Walz?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Right. No jazz hands, no talking about slumber parties with
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: commie youth camps. None of this, none of this weirdness. And,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: you know, yes, the law firm she was involved in
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: was probably doing some business dealings in China. That's what
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: they do. It wasn't her specialty. And and so, yes,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you would you would see a few more signs of things.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: But also, look, I had opinions when I went into
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the White House and sometimes the vice president of the
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: United States looked me dead in the face and said,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: why should I listen to you instead of to Henry Kissinger?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Or why should I believe what you're.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Telling me versus the secretary of state or the secretary
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: of defense or this world leader?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And I was at first be floored.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: And then I'd say, well, because you hired me and
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: because I know more, all the good things. But really
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: what the answer to it is, you're there to work.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: You're not, you know, and Katie's going to be there
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: to do a job. She's not the national security advisor.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: But if she was, I wouldn't be concerned about that either.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she definitely was. She's a communist and she's trying
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: to advise the president poorly. She's like the worst communist
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: You come back and you're like freedom and eagles and
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: go America. It's like the worst communist ever. So that yeah,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: that makes that doesn't make any sense. But they were
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: what they were saying about that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: We're out of time. Always so good to see you,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: my friend.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And I so appreciate you being generous with the time
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: and your perspective as well.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You can find Mr. Yates at Steve Yates on X.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: And don't forget Nation States with Yates on X or
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: wherever you get your podcast.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Good to see you, my friend. Have a great week.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Dana. Take good care.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: You too. We've got a lot more on the way.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: We've got days of these United States.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: We're not done with this. We also have a bunch
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: of other stuff.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I got polling for you as well as we move
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the folks who help make the program possible.

  Speaker 1: It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: for Florida Man.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: So a Florida man is accused of stealing a car
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and a vape before a helicopter tracked him down. This,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he stole it from a gas station and fled.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: These are the dumbest criminals ever. Like, you're not going
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: to get away, especially if you go into the water.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: You're just going to get eaten by a gator. Hillsborough
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: County Sheriff's say 26-year-old went into a home, stole keys
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in a vehicle and They tracked him down using a chopper.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: He wasn't going to get away. This is dumb. Of
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: course not. Why would they do this? Stop it. This
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of those here, too. A Florida
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: man drove into a.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Gas station without a license plate and left facing a
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: fentanyl charge. He has all the tats under his eyes.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: So I'm completely not surprised by this. Whenever you see that,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, I know. Yeah, he left without
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: a license plate, and that's why he got, again, Hillsborough County,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: and he got stopped. I wonder if it was the
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: same gas station. And they searched his vehicle. They discovered
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: stolen jewelry and almost five grams of fentanyl, which is
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: a lot, right? Of course, he was taken into custody. Isn't, like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: how much, like, can't one gram kill, like, a whole
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: neighborhood of people?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, a gram? Hell yeah, a gram. Yeah, well, this
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: guy had, like, apparently.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Five, almost five grams of it. Someone said it takes 0.01
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: to OD without a tolerance.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: And it was apparently pure fentanyl. That's dangerous.
• 33:53

• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the United States. Here in the North County, less than
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: a month before Election Day, questions being raised after an
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: alarming discovery along Lake Wolford Road. I parked my car,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: walked along, the ballots were strewn all along here.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: That's insane. Those are just ballots that are laying on
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the side of the road. That's ridiculous. How does this happen?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: North County, California Road, and.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's I don't I'm trying to figure out
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: how many ballots it was. There was he said he walked.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: This guy walked all the way down the road.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: He said half of them were unsigned mail in ballots
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: and that he took photos, but he didn't want to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: touch them. He drove right to the sheriff's office. Now,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the sheriff's deputies went to the location later that day
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: and they were gone. The sheriff's office said another driver
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: had collected them and handed them over. to the Valley
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Center Post office, but nobody knows how they got there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: How did they get there? I mean, they said that
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the way that they were spread out, the guy said
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: that it looks as though like somebody threw them out
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: of the car, the way that they were all spread.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, or maybe just blew out of a car.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Why were they in a car? Why were they in
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: anything that you could just, they could blow out of?
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: That's the million dollar question. And this is the county
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: of San Diego, the registrar of voters issued a statement
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: saying that they were aware of voter information pamphlets and
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: mail ballot packets found in Valley Center. They said that
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: there were 12 unvoted, unfilled mail ballots, mail ballot packets
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: that were being sent to voters. And they said that
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: there were 14 of the voter information pamphlets. But they
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: said that they're investigating mail ballot tampering now.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: They can apparently people can go.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: They have like ballot tracks in California and they can
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: go and they can follow their ballot. You can do
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: that here in Texas. You can follow your ballot here
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: in Texas as well. So that's yeah, I got a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: lot of questions about how that even remotely was allowed
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it is Columbus Day, so we're telling everybody happy
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Columbus Day. Also, this, okay, this is, Dana, what were
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: you doing at 12 o'clock midnight while you were waiting
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: for your eye to get better if your dog punched
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: you in the face?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It's a true story.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I was reading this. Scientists say ancient black holes could
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: hold the key to a hidden fifth dimension beyond our universe.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Is this where the aliens are going to come from?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I'm curious.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I'm curious.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: They said that scientists could unlock a more bizarre part
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: of the cosmos. A group of leading physicists say that
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: ancient black holes could hold the key to a hidden
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: fifth dimension beyond our material universe. They said that in
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: addition to the four familiar dimensions, height, width, depth, and time,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: scientists say that our universe may have a dark dimension.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I absolutely believe in this theory. I think that there's
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: a multitude of different I don't know if I would
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: say different timelines or different realities, but I would say
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: different planes of existence. Because that's what I think heaven is.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I think heaven is a different plane of existence, like
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: a different dimension. Because there are more dimensions than just
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: what we can see. But they said that the extra
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: plane of reality is hidden from us, but the tiny
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: black holes left us. over, they're theorizing maybe from the
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Big Bang, I don't think it's that, but whatever, that
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: they might be able to reach it because they are
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: ultra-dense remnants is how they look at it, particularly primordial
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: black holes. So they're so small that their gravity could
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: bleed through into the dark dimension and That sounds insane
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and also fun.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Like, I love mystery.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I want there to be some crazy stuff out there
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: that we can't, you know, can't do that.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Let's see here.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: There is a plan for a supersonic eagle with no
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: plane with no wings that could fly to London from
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: London to New York in two hours with up to
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: 200 passengers. That's actually pretty amazing. It says it's a
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: next gen passenger plane. It can reach twice the speed
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: of sound and it could cut future travel times by 70%.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: It's a Q plane, Q-U plane. Seats up to 200. And, like,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: they don't have the traditional wings. It kind of looks
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: like a bomber. It does, doesn't it? It very much
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: looks like one.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: They said so far it's just a speculative concept, but
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: they're working to make it something that's very real. And
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles got taken over by mosquitoes. They have really
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: bad mosquitoes this year. We've got a lot more on
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the way.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Stick with us.
