Transcript
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: So let's pull the curtain back.
- 0:10SPEAKER_00: We are controlling transmission, if we wish to make it louder.
- 0:32SPEAKER_02: We will bring up the body.
- 0:34SPEAKER_02: We can change the focus to a soft blur.
- 0:36You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance of
- 0:39things and ideas you just
- 0:41SPEAKER_02: crossed over into.
- 0:42SPEAKER_02: For your consideration,
- 1:01A nation held hostage by the fragile ego of a man-baby
- 1:05president who may or may not
- 1:09be dying of hand syphilis and who were trapped with for at
- 1:12least three more years.
- 1:22SPEAKER_02: This week on a very special episode of Property Brothers.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: I'm Drew Scott, and I'm a real estate expert.
- 1:28SPEAKER_02: I'm his twin brother, Jonathan, and I'm a contractor.
- 1:31That means I find the perfect property,
- 1:33and I actually have to renovate the darn thing.
- 1:37This week,
- 1:37we're taking on our biggest challenge yet,
- 1:39building the new White House ballroom.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: Hi.
- 1:44SPEAKER_02: Your property brother.
- 1:45SPEAKER_02: Thanks to you, Jeff.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: So which one of you's married a new girl, and which one of you's the gay?
- 1:51SPEAKER_02: I'm married to Nucle.
- 1:52SPEAKER_02: Donald and Melania moved into this house nine years ago.
- 1:55SPEAKER_02: They were evicted for four years, but they moved back in.
- 1:58SPEAKER_02: Donald has a strong eye for interior design.
- 2:01SPEAKER_02: I put these gold urns everywhere, like a hundred in every room.
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: And that makes me happy.
- 2:07SPEAKER_02: It's very important to be happy these days.
- 2:09SPEAKER_02: Really dark stuff happening in the world.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: Some of it me.
- 2:13SPEAKER_02: And here's a crown I just got from my...
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: Trip to Asia.
- 2:17SPEAKER_02: Nothing says democracy like a crown, right?
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: The Trumps have already made a few subtle changes to the house.
- 2:24Donald got rid of the portrait of FDR,
- 2:27and he put a painting of himself as a soldier from Halo.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: The artist's name is Master Chief.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: You know it's all, but you can't even say Master Chief anymore, right?
- 2:35SPEAKER_02: You gotta say Primary Chief.
- 2:37They also paved the rose garden and turned it into what looks
- 2:40like outdoor seating
- 2:41SPEAKER_02: at an olive garden.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: But Donald and Melania still feel like something's missing.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: The house is only 55,000 square feet and 132 rooms.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: We need more space.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: Right, Addy?
- 2:53SPEAKER_02: We need more space.
- 2:54We asked Donald what his budget was,
- 2:56and he said between $350 million and infinity.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: Then we asked if he needed a permit, and Donald laughed really hard.
- 3:03He said,
- 3:04I could build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies,
- 3:07and no one could stop me.
- 3:08We showed Donald our plan for a ballroom that would match the
- 3:11current proportions,
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: but he kept clicking enlarge.
- 3:13SPEAKER_02: I think it's now open the fence and into the street.
- 3:16SPEAKER_02: They can drive around it.
- 3:17SPEAKER_02: Oh, and I want a ring for MMA fights.
- 3:20SPEAKER_02: Official ones, but also casual fights in the backyard.
- 3:23SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm talking about?
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: Two mentally ill guys just wailing on each other.
- 3:27SPEAKER_02: We can do bum fights again.
- 3:28SPEAKER_02: Remember bum fights?
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: We love bum fights.
- 3:32I told Donald that our number one priority was to preserve the
- 3:35historic nature of the building.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: So we demolished the entire East Wing in two days.
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: With the government still shut down and so many workers furloughed,
- 3:46we were able to force park rangers and astronauts to do a lot
- 3:49of the demolition.
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately,
- 3:51the renovation hit a bit of a snag when Donald realized he had
- 3:55deported all the
- 3:55SPEAKER_02: construction workers.
- 3:57I pulled into the Home Depot parking lot and yelled,
- 4:00just give me the whites.
- 4:01You know,
- 4:02I want the day laborers from Norway and Sweden,
- 4:05but apparently they don't exist.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: But in the end,
- 4:08we're confident the new ballroom will be a shining beacon of
- 4:11freedom for all
- 4:12SPEAKER_02: Americans.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: And it'll be ready just in time for my third term.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: We want this to be our forever home.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: Yes, because we're not leaving.
- 4:20SPEAKER_02: We're going to be doing something called coup.
- 4:41It'll be built over on the east side and won't interfere with
- 4:44the current building.
- 4:44White House officials now say that the entire east wing is
- 4:48going to be demolished
- 4:49SPEAKER_02: to make room for the president's construction project.
- 4:52In chocolate town,
- 4:54all the trains are painted brown in the silver paper of the
- 4:59rapid.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: The footprint is nearly twice the size of the executive mansion.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: And the doors swing back and forward from the past into the present.
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent.
- 5:40SPEAKER_02: And the moving problem families from the south up to the north.
- 5:46SPEAKER_02: Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce.
- 5:50SPEAKER_02: And you say you didn't do it, but you know you did, of course.
- 5:55SPEAKER_02: And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
- 6:00SPEAKER_02: I think it'll be one of the great ballrooms anywhere in the world.
- 6:03SPEAKER_02: It's like shouting in a matchbox.
- 6:06SPEAKER_02: Do it, bless the board and hope.
- 6:08SPEAKER_02: Like a picture of Prince William in the arms of John the Pope.
- 6:14There's a world of good intentions And pissy in their eyes The
- 6:19sedated homes of
- 6:21England There's the vandalized So you knock the kids about a
- 6:26bit Because they've
- 6:28got your name And you knock the kids about a bit Until they
- 6:33feel the same And they
- 6:35SPEAKER_02: feel like knocking down the little palaces
- 6:40SPEAKER_02: It's about $300 million.
- 6:41SPEAKER_02: It's set to do many,
- 6:43SPEAKER_02: many things,
- 6:44SPEAKER_02: including meetings of foreign leaders,
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: including the honoring of foreign leaders.
- 6:48We're talking about building a ballroom when we're trying to
- 6:51get the economy spread away.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: The timing is bad.
- 6:54SPEAKER_01: People are saying, oh, the government's being destroyed.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: Well, now it looks like the White House is physically being destroyed.
- 7:04SPEAKER_02: You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: The name is Spray and Scribble.
- 7:10You made the girls all turn their heads and in turn they made
- 7:15you miserable To be
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: the heir of parents to the kingdom of the invisible
- 7:24SPEAKER_02: When you knock your kids about a bit because they've got your name.
- 7:30SPEAKER_02: And you knock your kids about a bit until they feel the same.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: And they feel like knocking down the little palaces.
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: It took just four days for the latest major change to the White House.
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: The East Wing demolished.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: This is going to be...
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: Probably the finest ballroom ever built.
- 7:51The better to entertain visiting heads of state and royalty,
- 7:54says the president.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: But while they might like it, the American public does not.
- 8:00A new national poll finds more than 60 percent disapprove of
- 8:03the new ballroom plan,
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: while just one in four approve.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: And while it's no surprise that Democrats hate the idea,
- 8:11it's highly unusual for 27 percent of Republicans to agree with
- 8:15them on anything
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: regarding Trump.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: Great news for America this weekend.
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: We finally defeated our worst enemy, Canada.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: How's it taste, Canada?
- 8:37SPEAKER_02: Try us again, motherfuckers.
- 8:40Think about that next time you run an ad that accurately quotes
- 8:44one of our former presidents.
- 8:46SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 8:49SPEAKER_02: A million percent tariffs on Canada.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: America is still in the throes of the government shutdown.
- 9:00SPEAKER_02: This past weekend,
- 9:01SPEAKER_02: the shutdown took its worst turn yet,
- 9:03SPEAKER_02: as notices began to go out for health insurance premium hikes,
- 9:06SPEAKER_02: and millions of Americans also lost their SNAP or food stamp benefits.
- 9:10SPEAKER_02: It's as heartbreaking as it is infuriating,
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: but there's one American who's taken this harder than anyone else.
- 9:16The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the
- 9:19American citizens who
- 9:21SPEAKER_02: desperately rely upon it.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: He is a big hearted president.
- 9:30SPEAKER_02: Is he?
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: Big hearted?
- 9:34SPEAKER_02: Loves us?
- 9:36Because again,
- 9:36and maybe I'm misinterpreting it,
- 9:38but he did just recently dump diarrhea.
- 9:41SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you remember that.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: He just he cares a lot about the American people.
- 9:51SPEAKER_02: Obviously, he does have a diarrhea plane.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Napalm, son.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: Nothing else in the world smells like that.
- 10:21SPEAKER_02: I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
- 10:39Okay,
- 10:40so then over here is where you're gonna have the big golden
- 10:43pillars that you guys wanted.
- 10:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, that's great.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: Okay, and then right over here is where we're gonna put your dance floor.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: Wait, dance floor?
- 10:53I thought we were knocking the east wing down to make room for
- 10:55the nursery.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: To what?
- 10:59SPEAKER_02: The nursery?
- 11:00You said all this remodeling was for the baby,
- 11:02not to make room for more of your stupid parties.
- 11:05SPEAKER_02: Hey, relax, guy.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: We can just stick the baby in the bathroom or something.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: I renovated the Lincoln bathroom.
- 11:12SPEAKER_02: It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style,
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: which is totally inappropriate for the Lincoln era.
- 11:20SPEAKER_02: I did it in black and white polished statuary marble.
- 11:24SPEAKER_02: This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln.
- 11:27SPEAKER_02: Wait, statuary marble is appropriate for the time of Lincoln?
- 11:32Does he think the guy in the Lincoln Memorial is the real
- 11:37Abraham Lincoln?
- 11:39And I know what you're thinking as your electricity bill
- 11:41skyrockets and they're
- 11:41SPEAKER_02: shutting off your heat.
- 11:43SPEAKER_02: Will guests of this ballroom be able to shit in the marbled rooms?
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: Well, the answer is yes.
- 11:50SPEAKER_03: President Trump revealed photos of a newly renovated Lincoln bathroom.
- 11:54SPEAKER_02: He posted six times today about it.
- 11:57He uploaded a total of 25 detailed photographs of the gold and
- 12:02marble upgrades,
- 12:03SPEAKER_02: including the view from his new toilet.
- 12:14SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm not an architect.
- 12:18SPEAKER_02: Who designs a bathroom with ass-level windows?
- 12:21I mean,
- 12:26is that...
- 12:26Isn't that...
- 12:30Aren't you gonna f***ing frost the glass a little bit there?
- 12:34SPEAKER_02: Throw some shutters up?
- 12:35SPEAKER_02: You're gonna have tour groups walking by just like, go!
- 12:37SPEAKER_02: Oh!
- 12:41SPEAKER_02: No!
- 12:44SPEAKER_02: That's not good...
- 12:48SPEAKER_02: So with all this,
- 12:48SPEAKER_02: it's kind of hard to argue that Trump has been laser focused on,
- 12:51SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 12:51SPEAKER_02: needy Americans and funding SNAP benefits during the shutdown,
- 12:54especially when the notorious power grabbing unitary executive
- 12:58that is Trump pleads
- 13:00SPEAKER_02: that his bruised hands are tied.
- 13:02SPEAKER_02: The president has lamented this.
- 13:04He has informed USDA and everybody,
- 13:07do as best you can,
- 13:08but the money doesn't exist to do it.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: The truth is there's no legal mechanism to do it.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: President Trump can't just wave some magic wand and fix the mess.
- 13:17SPEAKER_02: There's nothing we can do at this point.
- 13:19There's not much more we can do because the rules of the world
- 13:21by which we have to play.
- 13:28SPEAKER_02: The rules?
- 13:29SPEAKER_02: Did you just say you can't do it because of the rules?
- 13:32SPEAKER_02: The rules of the road?
- 13:34SPEAKER_02: When have you followed the road... Well, you follow the road rules.
- 13:38But when have the administration...
- 13:41When has this administration followed the rule?
- 13:44SPEAKER_02: You guys have been grand theft auto this entire presidency.
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: But now...
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: Hey,
- 13:58SPEAKER_02: everybody,
- 13:58we're just gonna take a quick break from unauthorized Caribbean
- 14:01boat bombing and
- 14:02sending hairdressers to El Salvadorian prisons to remind
- 14:06everybody no passing on
- 14:08SPEAKER_02: the right.
- 14:08SPEAKER_02: Gotta respect the rules of the road.
- 14:13SPEAKER_02: How disingenuous has this gotten?
- 14:16SPEAKER_02: You'll never guess.
- 14:18Which branch of government that the Trump administration is
- 14:22deferring to for
- 14:24SPEAKER_02: guidance on these food assistant payments?
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: When can we expect the Trump administration to make these payments?
- 14:30SPEAKER_02: Well,
- 14:31President Trump just truthed out that he needs to hear from the
- 14:34courts how this is
- 14:35SPEAKER_02: going to be done.
- 14:35SPEAKER_02: The courts?
- 14:38SPEAKER_02: The rules of the road and the courts?
- 14:41SPEAKER_02: Fuck!
- 14:44SPEAKER_02: Are you kidding me right now?
- 14:46SPEAKER_02: You,
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: you,
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: Donald Trump,
- 14:48SPEAKER_02: are now waiting for the activist,
- 14:50SPEAKER_02: radical,
- 14:51SPEAKER_02: left,
- 14:51SPEAKER_02: lunatic,
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: Trump-hating,
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: biased,
- 14:53SPEAKER_02: Harley-partisan,
- 14:54SPEAKER_02: unhinged,
- 14:54SPEAKER_02: agitator judges to give you the okey-doke?
- 14:59SPEAKER_02: Is that what I'm hearing?
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: President Trump just truthed out that he's very anxious to get this done,
- 15:05SPEAKER_02: and it's got to go through the courts.
- 15:07SPEAKER_02: Nonsense.
- 15:10SPEAKER_02: Mr. President, we don't want you to be afraid.
- 15:13SPEAKER_02: Tell us exactly what it is you think you saw.
- 15:17Ever since I tore down the East Wing,
- 15:19there's this thing that keeps appearing.
- 15:25SPEAKER_02: What kind of thing?
- 15:28SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I see it in a mirror or in the hallway.
- 15:31SPEAKER_02: President Trump, you are an incredible man.
- 15:34SPEAKER_01: Whatever this is, we have your back.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: Pam, you got some shit on your nose again.
- 15:39SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: Mr. President, this entity you speak of, how many times has it appeared?
- 15:45SPEAKER_02: It appears more and more lately.
- 15:48SPEAKER_02: I can't get away from it.
- 15:49SPEAKER_02: It's everywhere I go.
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: It's here right now.
- 16:01SPEAKER_02: Kamala's for they them.
- 16:02SPEAKER_02: President Trump is for you.
- 16:04SPEAKER_02: Simple and effective.
- 16:06SPEAKER_02: Might have gotten him elected.
- 16:08And the real brilliance of it is Trump never actually told
- 16:12America who you were.
- 16:14SPEAKER_02: Are you you?
- 16:16SPEAKER_02: Or are you they them?
- 16:17SPEAKER_02: Who's they?
- 16:18SPEAKER_02: Who's who?
- 16:19SPEAKER_02: You?
- 16:22SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 16:23I'm sure it's apparent in the Trump children's book,
- 16:30you know who you are.
- 16:38As the they-them suffered through the shutdown and Trump
- 16:41pretends his hands are
- 16:42SPEAKER_02: tied,
- 16:43SPEAKER_02: who are the U's that do get the benefit of Trump's largesse?
- 16:46SPEAKER_02: President Trump has announced a $20 billion bailout for Argentina.
- 16:54SPEAKER_02: Whoa, they're you?
- 16:56SPEAKER_02: Or the more formal usted?
- 16:59SPEAKER_02: Wow, $20 billion to bail out Argentina.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: No offense,
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: Mr.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: President,
- 17:07but it seems kind of weird that when people are going hungry at
- 17:08home to hand out
- 17:09SPEAKER_02: that much cash to another country.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady.
- 17:14SPEAKER_02: You don't know anything about it.
- 17:16SPEAKER_02: They're fighting for their life.
- 17:17SPEAKER_02: Nothing is benefiting Argentina.
- 17:19SPEAKER_02: They're fighting for their life.
- 17:20SPEAKER_02: You understand what that means?
- 17:22SPEAKER_02: They have no money.
- 17:23SPEAKER_02: They have no anything.
- 17:24SPEAKER_02: They're fighting so hard to survive.
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: I'm just curious.
- 17:27You know,
- 17:27there's a lot of countries suffering,
- 17:28including the one that you run.
- 17:30SPEAKER_02: What makes their suffering more urgent?
- 17:32SPEAKER_02: I happen to like the president of Argentina.
- 17:35SPEAKER_02: I think he's trying to do the best he can.
- 17:37SPEAKER_02: How nice for Argentina.
- 17:39SPEAKER_02: If only our president had an in with Donald Trump.
- 17:45SPEAKER_02: We live in bizarro world.
- 17:48The president of the United States is no longer even trying to
- 17:50justify random
- 17:52foreign aid or blatant cryptocurrency corruption or let them
- 17:56eat cake optics.
- 17:57SPEAKER_02: All because he loves us.
- 17:58SPEAKER_02: It's America first.
- 18:01SPEAKER_02: And it creates moments of such blatant irony that words almost fail.
- 18:06Do you know what some of the billions going to Argentina are
- 18:09being used for in the
- 18:10SPEAKER_02: midst of what may be a burgeoning hunger crisis in America?
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: Trump is for you, Argentinian beef cattle ranchers.
- 18:25SPEAKER_02: Did you think you were American cattle ranchers?
- 18:27SPEAKER_02: No.
- 18:28SPEAKER_02: You're they, them.
- 18:29SPEAKER_02: They're you and you're they,
- 18:31along with the people on food stamps who will not be able to
- 18:34partake in this new
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: Argentinian beef glut.
- 18:37SPEAKER_02: Wrap your head around that.
- 18:39SPEAKER_02: Don't worry.
- 18:39SPEAKER_02: We won't let anything happen to you.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: Ah!
- 18:43SPEAKER_02: What?
- 18:43SPEAKER_02: Pam Bondi!
- 18:44SPEAKER_02: She's gone!
- 18:45SPEAKER_02: But she was sitting right here!
- 18:47Pam?
- 18:47SPEAKER_02: Pam!
- 18:48Pam Bondi!
- 18:49SPEAKER_02: I'm right here, sir!
- 18:51SPEAKER_02: Look, it's back!
- 18:52SPEAKER_02: What's back?
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: You've got some shit on your nose again!
- 18:55SPEAKER_02: Oh my god!
- 18:56SPEAKER_02: What is going on?
- 18:57SPEAKER_02: That thing!
- 18:58SPEAKER_02: It's not there anymore!
- 19:05For those of you who were wondering during this delightful
- 19:09first year of the
- 19:10SPEAKER_02: presidency who the you was that he was going to work so tirelessly for,
- 19:15it turns out he is for you if you are a personal friend or if
- 19:21you donated a lot of
- 19:22SPEAKER_02: money.
- 19:23SPEAKER_02: or if you enriched his meme coin businesses,
- 19:26SPEAKER_02: or you enriched his son's crypto coin businesses,
- 19:30SPEAKER_02: or if you beat up police officers on his behalf,
- 19:33SPEAKER_02: or if you bought him a plane,
- 19:36or if you probably promised not to reveal anything
- 19:40incriminating about him.
- 19:42SPEAKER_02: Those are the you's it turns out that he was for.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: And if you're one of those you's,
- 19:51SPEAKER_02: Life's pretty sweet.
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: But for the rest of us, we're on the outside.
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: We've double-checked everything, sir.
- 19:57SPEAKER_02: All the exterior doors are locked.
- 19:59SPEAKER_02: No windows have been breached.
- 20:01SPEAKER_02: And yet the president swears something was in the room with him.
- 20:04SPEAKER_02: Is he going to be all right?
- 20:05SPEAKER_02: Pretty shaken.
- 20:06Pam Bondi is in there now trying to calm him down and make him
- 20:09feel better.
- 20:12SPEAKER_02: Pam?
- 20:14SPEAKER_02: Oh, my God!
- 20:30SPEAKER_02: Yes?
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: Ah, yes.
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: We're paranormal investigators.
- 20:35SPEAKER_02: We've been asked to come and investigate the mysterious woman in the hat.
- 20:40I am Stephen Miller,
- 20:43Senior Advisor to the President for Immigration and Domestic
- 20:47Policy.
- 20:51SPEAKER_02: Won't you come in?
- 20:59Last night,
- 20:59Trump did an interview with 60 Minutes for the first time in
- 21:02five years.
- 21:03It was a surprisingly reasonable interview to give a completely
- 21:07unreasonable man,
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: and only a couple things leapt out to me.
- 21:10SPEAKER_02: One is,
- 21:10SPEAKER_02: you know how Donald Trump keeps complaining about Joe Biden's pardons,
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: saying stuff like,
- 21:14the pardons that Sleepy Joe gave are hereby declared void
- 21:19because of the fact that
- 21:21SPEAKER_02: he did not know anything about them.
- 21:23SPEAKER_02: Well...
- 21:24SPEAKER_02: Nora O'Donnell asked Trump about a recent pardon of a crypto billionaire,
- 21:28SPEAKER_02: Chong Peng Zhao,
- 21:30SPEAKER_02: who goes by CZ,
- 21:31SPEAKER_02: rhymes with sleazy,
- 21:33SPEAKER_02: and Nora pressed him on that.
- 21:35I do want to ask you about crypto's richest man,
- 21:39a billionaire known as CZ.
- 21:41SPEAKER_03: He pled guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money laundering laws.
- 21:46The government at the time said that CZ had caused significant
- 21:49harm to U.S.
- 21:50SPEAKER_03: national security,
- 21:51essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move
- 21:54millions of dollars
- 21:55SPEAKER_03: around.
- 21:56SPEAKER_03: Why did you pardon him?
- 21:57SPEAKER_02: OK, are you ready?
- 21:58SPEAKER_02: I don't know who he is.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: Are you ready for this?
- 22:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know who I pardoned.
- 22:12Also,
- 22:12brace yourself,
- 22:14I wasn't listening just now when you told me who he is.
- 22:18Strap in,
- 22:19if I had been listening,
- 22:20I wouldn't have understood because buckle up,
- 22:24I'm crazy.
- 22:28SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, I should have listened to you.
- 22:33SPEAKER_02: I guess there's just no really going back to the way things used to be.
- 22:39SPEAKER_02: Things will get back.
- 22:40SPEAKER_02: I know it's hard to see right now, but things will go back to normal.
- 22:44SPEAKER_02: And in the meantime, we just have to make the most of where we are.
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: This is in my house.
- 25:08SPEAKER_00: It feels like we've known.
- 25:10SPEAKER_00: I've become the moon and the moon and the sun.
- 25:50SPEAKER_02: So you will come to know.
- 25:53SPEAKER_02: When the bone has a bone.
- 25:58SPEAKER_02: So you will come to know.
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: Let's blow this ball!
