  Speaker 3: Of I think twenty eight who died or were killed,

  Speaker 3: probably were killed. And of course Hamas decides not only
• 1:07

• 1:11

• 1:35
  Speaker 3: some talk about winning the war in Netanyahu said a
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: couple of things, but for the most part, the celebration
• 1:42

  Speaker 3: It is time for handle on the news on this
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Monday morning, October thirteen. Lead Storry.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: All right, well, right this moment the president is our
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: president is about to leave Tel Aviv and fly to Cairo,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: or the peace summit, of which twenty world leaders are
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: going to.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Come celebrating the ceasefire and the breakout of peace between
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Israel and Camas, of which the president, President Trump is
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: rightly being given a tremendous amount of credit. There's no
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: question that without President Trump this would not have happened.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And what he's so gracious about him?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he certainly is spent forty minutes in front of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the Canasset talking about how great he is, how horrible
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Obama and Joe Biden were the worst president in the
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: history of the United States.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: How I would I have to do with any of it?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I have no idea, And how he has made all
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the decisions, and he decides which weapons go where, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: he gave him Israel, which Israel knew what to do
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: with him, and just you know, at some point, at
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: what point do you snap victory out of the jaws,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the feet out of the jaws of victory. I just
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: he just goes on and on, and I mean, come on, guy,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: you got the win.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: You got the win, and deservedly so there's probably nothing
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: more that you could do as a president of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: United States or a head of state that makes that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: You could go, wow, this was life changing for people.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And then he kind of poops on it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: It's like why just.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Takes take the w it is so it's huge, It
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: really is huge.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Just came home.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's incredible and it is. I mean
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: it is an amazing feat of which. Does he deserve
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: the Nobel Peace Price for this one?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I think he does actually for putting the together.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So now you've got Nittanyahu a few minutes up on
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: in front of the Knesset talking about how great the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: president is. You have to because Trump loves to hear
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that and has to hear it, and all the all
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: President Trump to do is stand up and just say
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: thank you very much and then sit down.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: That would have been the greatest speech.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Give the glory to the families that are reuniting.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh he did.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: He talked about that, and he talked about Jared Kushner
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and Ivonka, his daughter converting to Judaism, and do all
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: kinds of stories about Steve Witkoff, personal stories and just
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: humorous anecdotes and.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Basically talking about all the Jews he knows.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some of my best friends are Jews.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh crazy, Aaron Trump Aviv.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah nice.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: In any case, all right, quick timeline hostages have been released.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: President as of right this moment is boarding Air Force
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: one after speaking to the Knesse, and he is on
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: his way to Cairo. And it's an hour flight by
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the way, Cairo to Tel Aviv or Tel Aviv to Cairo.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: It's almost exactly an hour. It's La San Francisco. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: then he arrives. Netting Yahu will not be there, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: we're hearing all kinds of reasons Jewish holiday.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I buy that he Mahmud Abbass
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: will be there. And Netiahu does not want to be
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: seen in the same room on the same by a
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: dayas as Machunda Bass because he has said Nata Yahu
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: is official position of Israel. The Palestinian authority is going
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to disappear. It will not be part of governing the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: new Palestine. And so there's a lot to be said
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: on that, and of course I'll talk more about that
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: coming up seven o'clock.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Two weeks in and tempers are flaring. What started as
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: a standoff over spending priorities is around enhanced in affordable
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: care subsidies has turned into full blown political stress test.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Over the weekend, both sides were on the TV shows
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: and both pointing fingers at the other. Virtually no appetite
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: for anyone on either side to talk to the other side.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: They're pretty much dug in. The House, passed continuing resolution
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: would extend curtain current Biden era spending levels, but House
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said that the legislation is unacceptable
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: to Democrats because it also includes massive cuts codified by
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: President Trump's domestic policy package. And then on the other side,
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: Speaker Johnson says that the Democrats have chosen a partisan
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: fight to prove their Marxist rising base in the Democratic
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: Party that they're willing to fight Trump and the Republicans.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Marxist, Yeah, yeah, why not.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Now it's you communists and patriots, you fighting, looking at
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: everybody and describing themselves. So I will talk more about this,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: but the people are going to really really suffer. This
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: is the week that paychecks don't come to a lot
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: of federal employees, and it's really going to hurt most.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: See how this pans out.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I have some ideas and we'll talk about that. At
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: seven point thirty and see if you agree or disagree,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: or tell me I'm out of my mind. Sure, why not?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: As we moved to real communists China, Donald Trump threatening
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: again to impose additional one hundred percent tariffs on China
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: made everything go crazy with the stock market. But China
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: says it's a typical example of US doing a double standard,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: which is funny for a communist country filled with rich
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well they're not particularly communists. They only call
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: themselves communists. Anytime a country calls itself the people's republic,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you've got some real issues as to how free the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: people's Republic is.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're right on this one.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They did say they have countermeasures coming.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, they're now in a pissing match.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Ping and President Trump are really at it. And here's
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: what really got Here's what got Trump so upset is
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: that China is limiting its rare earths that now they're
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: playing with that China controls the rare earth's market, rare
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: earth minerals. They basically have it about eighty percent of
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the world market. And without rare earth, you don't make
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: cell phones, evs, you don't make electronics. You just need
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: those what I thought you might have nothing we were
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: working with We are, but it's years in the making.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Minds have to be dug.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: China has a full blown mature industry with this and
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: controls the world market. So Trump now attached another one
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: hundred percent. That's on top of the thirty percent. That's
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: all aready in place, one hundred and thirty percent. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: told you that my business with savil or cookwar business
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: which we import from China, a loom Staines steel cookwaar,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: what was it? A couple of weeks ago, we got
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a shipment of We had seventy thousand dollars, a reasonably
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: small shipment. We needed some back order stuff, so it
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: costs seventy thousand dollars. The tariff was eighty seven thousand dollars.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: That we had to write the federal government on a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: seventy thousand dollars order. It was eighty seven thousand dollars
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: in tariffs. How sustainable do you think that is?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Gosh, it's almost not worth using the Chinese slave labor.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Huh pretty close? Yeah, man, you just can't get good
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: slave labor anymore.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I guess we're back to the us of A.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not going to help very much because still
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: it gets crazy cookie.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Well the aluminum.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: We also get aluminum from overseas too, don't forget the
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: try to produces aluminum. So it's the whole thing is
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: completely nuts. And the other thing I think I'm talking
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: about this a little bit later on. One thing about
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: this president, and it's both good and bad. I'll tell
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: you one thing. For a US president to bounce back
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and forth and to wake up in the morning and
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: establish one policy and in the afternoon change it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: With the kind of.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Influence the United States has is just astronomical, and he's
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: just taking everybody for a loop.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: Okay, moving on Butner Butner, Mayor Bass is getting some competition,
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: and don't look at me that way.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: Former La School Superintendent Austin Buttner is planning to announce
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: today that he is going to run against Mayor Bass
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: for the twenty twenty six mayor's election. He lives in
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Pacific Palisades. His home was damaged during the fires. His
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: mother in law's house was destroyed, and he has criticized
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: on several fronts, but very critical of the way that
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: she handled the wildfires, saying that officials at all levels
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: showed a failure of leadership on the fire.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much name recognition he has, because
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: did you know his name LA Unified School superintendent who
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: it was?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think many people did.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I did. But this is what we do for a living.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you. It makes me feel good.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Hey, when only like less than twenty percent of the
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: population of LA votes for the mayor, are they in
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: the election?
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: I mean nobody knows.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, And Neil says, of course he knows.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I have my doubts.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: So the ball keeps bouncing from court to court, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the Federal Court of Appeals just Saturday temporary temporarily lifted
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a judge's order blocking the White House efforts to federalize
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: National Guard troops for the use in Chicago, but left
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: her block on their deployment in the city, so the
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: troops can remain at their base, the US Army Reserve
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Center there in Elwood, Illinois, just about an hour outside
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: of Chicago. But they don't need to return home. But
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: they're still not moving.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just now their chapter And how far does
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: presidential power go? Where the president is testing pushing the
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: envelope across the board. So we'll see what the courts
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: have to say on this one. These are all, as
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you pointed out, temporary measures until the merits the underlying
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: case is actually heard as to does the president have
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: the power?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yes or no?
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: Under these circumstances, inventory not required, So for the families
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: who lose everything in future wildfires, you'll be able to
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: collect most of your insurance pay out without itemizing everything.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Governor Newsom signed new law that on Friday, and starting
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: next year, insurers will be required to pay at least
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: sixty percent of a homeowner's personal property coverage up to
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: three hundred and fifty thousand dollars without requiring that detailed
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: inventory list. It's good, but not as good as the
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: original of the original version of the bill, which would
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: have required insurers to pay one hundred.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Percent of the contents without an itemized list.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: That's a two aage sword. First of all, the insurers
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: have a legitimate interest saying, hey, you know what, We're
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: not going to just write you a check saying that
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: based on what you tell us, you know, here's your
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars gold coin collection. Oh no, I
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: had it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Now it's gone melted.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess you can melt into a gold bar,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: but you know the coin that's worth twenty thousand dollars. No.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: On the other side, it's who the hell keeps inventory
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: of everything you have in the house. I mean, what
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: you should do is with homeowners insurance is video everything
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: you have, just do a walk through and that helps enormously.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Who the hell does that? So this helps homeowners a
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: lot and we'll just see how much our insurance rates
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: go up on that one. And it is fair to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: have people be paid for what they lose without having
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: to do an entire inventory list, because no one does that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I do, yeah, do you? Yeah?
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Actually I go through every now and again, both in
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: my shop in the house and do a video.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And it's actually it's actually.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Came in handy when we had a film crew used
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the house. I was able to prove that things were broken. Okay,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I'm weird, No, all right, hundreds. You remember back at
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the earlier part of the year with the whole doze
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: stuff where people were being fired and then they were like, oh, whoops,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: you weren't supposed to be fired. We're kind of going
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: through that again. These are the CDC staffers recently fired
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: by the Trump administration. There's about thirteen hundred workers at
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: the CDC so and they come from all different walks
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: and areas. But out of that thirteen hundred, seven hundred
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: were reinstated on Saturday, so you've got about six hundred
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: remaining laid off. And apparently they received incorrect notifications.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: So they fire everybody. This is Friday, Friday. They all
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: received notices and they say you're done, and then the
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: next day, seven hundred ago, oh we made a mistake,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: you're not fired. And this seems to be the way
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: that the government is being run right now. You'd think
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: someone would think this through, but it's, uh, let's do
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: this with a shotgun and then we'll pick up the pieces.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Where businesses do it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Businesses I think are more selective. They don't reinstate people
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: the next day you get furloughed, and it's not like, oh,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: we made a mistake, come on back the next day
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: by the hundreds or the thousands.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Not they don't do.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: The next day.
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: But I mean it's happened around here where they do
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: layoffs and then they bring people back.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: And how how in terms of the numbers of layoffs.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: How many, it's a tiny, tiny number.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Government should be the best run business in the United States.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Well it can't be.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: It can't be because the government doesn't have any accountability.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: You know. It's when you think that, for example, iHeart
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: it has a it's a public corporation. It has accountability
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: to with shareholders. People have accountability to their bosses, the government.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: It's nobody's money, that's all. It's not your money, So
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: what do you care it's my money?
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this guy picked the wrong place to be in public.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: So apparently somebody went into Saint Peter's Peter's Basilica, went
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: up to the altar and started curinating.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: He was quickly escorted out of the church. Pope Leo
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: was informed and was, as he put it, shocked to
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: learn of the news.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, that leads right into the joke that I must
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: repeat if you haven't heard it yet, and that is
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Will's already shaking his head, and that is this is
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: not the first time that an attack has been made
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: at an altar statue in Saint Peter's the Pieta, which
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: is in Saint Peter's in the Basilica. There was that
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: crazy ass Hungarian out of his mind mentally Opensus, who
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: took a hammer and started hammering on the piata and
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, I think took out three
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: or four of the toes of either Jesus or Mary
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: on the piata. Now it's completely you can't get in
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: his bulletproof plexiglass in front of it. And as they
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: were dragging him out, and I quote now, he was
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: screaming Pieta. I thought it said pinata. Okay, no, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: love that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting another notch.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Write that down. I'm telling you that's.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: On my belt. How many times I've heard that?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Can whenever time there's an attack in the Basilica,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I have to I have to say it can't contron wrong, Peter, Okay,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: all right, oh very good. I guess there's nobody watching Yusemite.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: So Jozamite is going to hell in a handbasket. The
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: government shut down.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: You've got increase reports of illegal base jumping from El Capitan.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Also squatters filling up campgrounds. There's climbers using the cables
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: that you see on the side of half dome, but
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: they're doing it without permits.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Because there's nobody around. It's unclear.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: We don't know exactly how many federal employees are working,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: how many are not. But one employee who spoke with
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: sf Gate just you know, anonymously, said that they were
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: only they were only aware of a single volunteer patrolling
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: the entire park.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't doubt.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I'm surpriser was even one, because they shut down the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: national parks. Hey, quick question, is there such thing as
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: legal base jumping for MeTL Capitan?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Do they allow that?
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: I don't think so.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so either.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: So they're taking advantage.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you go and maybe I'm not saying
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: with real bullets, but maybe paint guns and then you
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: can go and pluck them off as they fly down.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's not even a good idea to suggest.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying, if they can.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Squatting and base jumping, you're better off just letting him
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: fall and just you know, pick up the pieces.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, I wouldn't do that, Okay, for the record.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, massive merger hanging in the balance. Paramount has officially
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: opened the bidding for rival Warner Brothers Discovery. The board
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: of Warner Brothers Discovery rejected the initial bit of about
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: twenty dollars chair share, but talks are continuing. A Warner
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: brother This Discovery owns HBO, CNN, TBS, Food Network, HGTV,
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: and the Warner Brothers movie and TV studios in uh Burbank.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll just.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: See how far what they're what their will, how far
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: they're willing to go in terms of, uh, what they're
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: going to pay per share. Usually when you're buying or
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: a company is buying another company, uh, the price of
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the stock starts going way way up, and they end
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: up paying a premium over what the market value is.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: And sometimes it can be pretty astronomical to the point
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: where the shareholders just say we're done, we're selling, thank
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you very much, and we'll see what happened.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: They may happen here.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: And Larry Ellison, uh, you know he's the world's richest man,
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: right and he wants to the top five.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's up there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: When daddy's money is there.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows how it'll go.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got my son at Cheruro.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: You're good day, Okay.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: About the whole thing for him?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Excellent? All right, So.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: It looks like it's one small step for China possibly
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: if they get their way. They're trying to get back
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: to the They're trying to get to the moon. We're
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: trying to get back to the Moon. And there is
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: more and more chorus of voices saying that the United
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: States needs to return astronauts to the Moon before the
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: end of.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: This decad This, that, and the other.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: That.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: They people are just saying, hey, we need to get
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: back up. Their NASA plans to use a SpaceX starship,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: which is the largest rocket system ever constructed, as part
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: of this lunar journey. But Bill Nye, we all know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: the science guy, said that the that China's National Space
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Administration will almost certainly walk on the Moon in the
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: next five years.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the difference between the United States and China.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: We have a fair number of legislators who go, we
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: don't want to spend this kind of money, or we
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: have administration that's going to cut NASA budgets in China,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: whatever Jijingping wants, and the politbureau says absolutely, once policy
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: is established, they go for it. Nothing gets in the way.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And that's so it's.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Only money because you know, we did this fifty six
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Why is it. Why is it so difficult to do now?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Because it is not just reaching the moon just for
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the hell of reaching the moon. I believe it is
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: reaching the Moon for the purposes of then being able
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: to go to Mars. So it's and also reaching the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Moon to set up some kind of habitat there, which
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: is not it's just not flying in and flying back.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Sort of been there, done.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: That was because we're not going back to the moon
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: because Stanley Kubrick is dead.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, well said to the moon, Alice, to the moon,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: all right, we are done.
