0:00
Snap out of it.
0:01
Adam Curry, John C.
0:02
Devorah.
0:03
It's Thursday, January 23rd, 2025.
0:05
This is your award-winning Cuban Nation Media
0:07
Assassination Episode 1732.
0:10
This is no agenda.
0:12
Opening the Stargate.
0:15
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
0:17
Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region Number
0:20
6.
0:20
In the morning, everybody.
0:22
I'm Adam Curry.
0:23
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're asking
0:25
the question, does anybody actually care about Blake
0:29
Lively?
0:30
I'm John C.
0:30
Devorah.
0:31
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
0:33
In the morning.
0:35
I don't even think I could tell you
0:36
who Blake Lively is, to be honest.
0:39
I should know this.
0:40
I'm sure I should know who Blake Lively
0:42
is.
0:43
Well, they've been promoting her enough.
0:47
Well, tell me who was Blake Lively.
0:49
She's an actress who's suing a director who
0:53
tried to kiss her.
0:56
Yes, that was the news of the week.
1:01
That was the news of the week.
1:02
That was the news.
1:03
Welcome, John, to the golden age of no
1:06
agenda.
1:08
Four more years.
1:12
Wow.
1:14
I think the best thing I've seen in
1:17
these past few days is refreshing the whitehouse
1:21
.gov presidential actions page.
1:25
I think when you have an executive order
1:28
that says, putting people over fish, I mean,
1:35
that kind of says it all, doesn't it?
1:39
Oh, man.
1:41
You know, it's so disappointing because I got
1:44
a lot of reports from foreign press, because
1:48
here it just seems like we're obsessed with
1:52
Bezos' girlfriend's boobs.
1:56
You know what I mean?
1:57
It's like, what are we doing?
1:58
There seems to be a lot of stories.
1:59
Yeah, there's so many reprints of the picture
2:02
of Zuckerberg looking down for one split second.
2:06
He will never live that down.
2:07
I said to Tina, I said, yeah, what
2:10
if that happened to me?
2:11
And that was the two second clip everywhere.
2:13
She says, well, he's only human.
2:15
I'm like, sure.
2:16
Yeah, I think Ms. Chan is going to
2:20
be lording that over Zuck for a long
2:22
time.
2:24
It's just one of those things you don't
2:26
want to get caught doing.
2:27
These guys have got cameras.
2:29
There's a thing called a camera, and most
2:31
people are shooting in video mode, so it's
2:34
actually not just shooting.
2:36
Yeah, no, they've got frame by frame by
2:38
frame of everything.
2:39
Frame by frame, so you can get the
2:41
one split second where he looks down, and
2:43
that's the shot.
2:44
Yeah.
2:45
Whoops.
2:46
And now he's stuck with that for the
2:49
rest of his life.
2:49
For the rest of his life, yeah.
2:51
You have to be careful if you're a
2:52
celebrity of any sort looking, and somebody's showing
2:56
off their breasts.
2:59
So that's literally Megyn Kelly, accomplished lawyer, successful
3:03
podcast host.
3:05
That's all she could talk about.
3:09
And it was viral, baby.
3:11
They're vicious, because Jeff Bezos runs the Washington
3:14
Post, owns it, and owns Amazon, of course.
3:17
And I will tell you, this is not
3:19
my first time saying she dresses like a
3:21
hooker, because she does.
3:23
She just kept on going about that.
3:26
Yes, I heard this bit.
3:28
She has gotten to, she's discovered kind of
3:32
the Tim Pool approach to podcasting.
3:35
Yes, yes, algo chasing.
3:38
Which is ranting for excessive, that's one thing
3:43
we don't do on this show.
3:44
Once in a while, we maybe make a
3:47
segment that's too long, but we don't stay
3:49
on.
3:51
Okay, it's all right, I got you.
3:52
The Supreme Court stuff, yes, okay.
3:55
I didn't say, I was just generalizing.
3:58
I've done it.
4:02
But we don't, but the style of ranting,
4:05
and Kelly's gotten really good at it.
4:08
In fact, I sent you a clip once
4:09
recently of one of her great rants, and
4:12
she goes on, and it's well-structured, and
4:15
it goes on forever.
4:17
And it's basically beating a dead horse.
4:23
Hey, Joe was there.
4:27
I called it.
4:29
Rogan, he was there.
4:32
I don't remember you calling that.
4:34
I said, imagine if Joe's there, and you're
4:37
like, okay.
4:38
I didn't call it.
4:39
I guess I conjured it.
4:42
And he's sending me pictures of him and
4:45
Trump, and him and Trump family members.
4:49
He was having a good old time.
4:50
Did you get a picture of him and
4:51
Laura Sanchez?
4:52
No, I wish.
4:56
Oh, man.
4:57
So the- Kid Tress is like a
4:59
hooker.
5:01
So I've been following these executive- By
5:04
the way, they used to have a lot
5:05
of hookers in the Bay Area, and they
5:08
don't really dress like that.
5:10
Maybe Megan's thinking of the high-end hotel
5:15
hookers.
5:16
Well- I guess maybe that's a possibility.
5:18
You know where all the hookers are right
5:20
now.
5:21
In DC, aren't they?
5:22
That's where they usually are.
5:23
No, no, they're in Davos.
5:26
The hookers are in Davos.
5:28
That's probably true.
5:29
And the Daily Mail had an exclusive with
5:31
one of the high-class escorts who spills
5:36
the beans.
5:38
And here she says, a high-class escort
5:41
has spilled the beans on what happens behind
5:43
closed doors in Davos during the World Economic
5:46
Forum.
5:47
Salome Balthus, probably not her real name.
5:52
You think?
5:52
She says, she revealed to Mail Online that
5:58
she's learned about the global elite, and for
6:00
many, it is that they are doom and
6:01
gloom mongering about the fate of the world,
6:04
so they've decided to just enjoy it while
6:07
it lasts.
6:08
Convinced that a climate change apocalypse is upon
6:11
them, they shamelessly spend their vast wealth on
6:13
expensive escorts in Switzerland.
6:17
I wonder what those girls cost.
6:21
Let me see if they did not have
6:23
a price tag.
6:24
They should have a price tag.
6:25
Are you doing your reporting?
6:26
If you're doing a report, oh, here it
6:27
is.
6:28
5,000 pounds, 5,000 pounds.
6:31
5,000 pounds, yeah.
6:32
But that's a weekend.
6:34
Oh, that's a bargain.
6:37
I don't know about that being much of
6:38
a bargain, but...
6:39
A two-hour tent.
6:40
You can marry a Ukrainian woman for less
6:43
than that.
6:44
Yeah, but then her brothers show up and
6:46
start demanding more.
6:47
It's not, it's not...
6:48
Oh, that can happen.
6:48
I've heard this happen to guys.
6:50
It's not a good thing.
6:52
A two-hour tent starts at about 850
6:55
bucks.
6:56
I think this says a lot about our
6:58
economy.
6:59
I think these prices are down from previous
7:02
Davos years.
7:03
Well, for those guys, the girls should be
7:06
able to charge more for that group.
7:08
For sure.
7:09
It's not like a bunch of, you know,
7:12
soccer guys.
7:14
Should we do a little bit of Davos
7:16
stuff before we get into the domestic?
7:18
I don't have any Davos stuff.
7:19
I do, I have shorties.
7:21
I have shorties.
7:23
I'm interested because I don't have anything.
7:25
Yeah, I got shorties from Davos, and I'll
7:29
be tracking this as we go along.
7:31
I understand they wanted Trump.
7:32
Trump didn't show up.
7:33
He didn't want to go.
7:34
He did a video thing.
7:35
In fact, a lot of the big shots
7:37
that normally go to Davos didn't go, and
7:39
it kind of freaked out Klaus.
7:41
Well, the spell is broken.
7:42
This is the thing.
7:44
Every spell has been broken.
7:46
All the things that these elites would say,
7:48
that the senators would say in questioning, it's
7:52
now just become a joke.
7:53
Some spell has been broken.
7:55
And I will tease the end of show
7:58
mix because it starts with some of the
8:00
during the spell moments during Trump's first administration
8:05
freak outs that were going on with the
8:07
mainstream.
8:08
It's very interesting to hear that, isn't it?
8:11
Yes.
8:12
So I think Trump just delivered a speech
8:16
to Davos.
8:17
He did it via Zoom.
8:20
Maybe it was Microsoft Teams.
8:22
I don't know.
8:27
Anyway, long keynote by Queen Ursula.
8:30
I pulled 54 seconds.
8:32
The sobering reality is that we are once
8:35
again competing more intensely across countries than we
8:40
have in several decades.
8:42
And this makes the theme of this year's
8:46
Davos meeting even more relevant.
8:50
Rebuilding trust.
8:52
Rebuilding trust.
8:53
This is not.
8:54
There it is.
8:56
The spell is broken.
8:57
No one trusts you anymore.
8:59
It's over.
9:01
It truly is.
9:02
Oh, there's something that's happened.
9:03
Some cosmic shift and people just like, whatever,
9:08
Queen Ursula, whatever.
9:10
Rebuilding trust.
9:12
Yes.
9:13
This is not a time for conflicts or
9:16
polarization.
9:18
This is a time to build trust.
9:21
This is a time to drive global collaboration
9:25
more than ever before.
9:28
Sure.
9:29
This requires immediate and structural responses to match
9:33
the size of the global challenges.
9:36
I believe it can be done.
9:39
And I believe that Europe can and must
9:42
take the lead in shaping that global response.
9:46
So, of course, there was the typical whining
9:49
and moaning about climate change.
9:52
And now, of course, climate change and AI
9:55
go hand in hand.
9:57
Here's the Secretary General of the United Nations,
9:59
Antonio Guterres.
10:01
Now, these two issues, climate and AI, are
10:04
exhaustively discussed by governments, by the media and
10:07
by leaders here in Davos.
10:09
And yet, we have not yet an effective
10:13
global strategy to deal with either.
10:16
No, no.
10:17
And the reason is simple.
10:19
Geopolitical divides are preventing us from coming together
10:23
around global solutions for global challenges.
10:27
Nobody wants your globalism.
10:29
It's interesting to listen to that because what
10:34
he's actually saying is all these challenges and
10:37
the only reason we can't solve these problems
10:40
is because we don't have one world government
10:43
with a dictator at the top.
10:45
That's what he just said.
10:47
And Trump, one of his executive, President Trump,
10:49
we should say, one of his executive orders
10:51
was no, no to this global tax.
10:55
No, we're not participating in it.
10:57
We won't have any part of it, which
10:59
I'm sure is a blow to the Davos
11:01
people.
11:03
And of course, little Licky Boy shows up
11:07
when it comes to AI.
11:08
So, we'd be paying a global tax.
11:10
Well, they've been planning that for a while
11:12
now.
11:12
That probably would have been the topic of
11:14
discussion if it was Kamala Harris was our
11:17
president.
11:17
Well, global tax time, everybody.
11:19
It's a good idea.
11:20
Oh, yeah.
11:20
To tax everybody for AI and climate change.
11:23
No.
11:25
So, Licky Boy shows up when it comes
11:27
to AI.
11:28
Sam Altman trying to smooth things over.
11:31
Don't be too worried about AI.
11:35
This guy is the vocal fry master.
11:37
Humans really care about what other humans think.
11:40
That seems very deeply wired into us.
11:44
So, Chess was one of the first victims
11:48
of AI, right?
11:50
John, did you know Chess was one of
11:52
the first victims of AI, right?
11:55
It was one of the first victims of
11:56
AI, right?
11:58
Kasparov, whenever that was a long time ago.
11:59
And all of the commentators said, this is
12:02
the end of Chess.
12:03
Now that a computer can beat the human,
12:04
no one's going to bother to watch Chess
12:07
again, ever.
12:08
It's over.
12:09
Or play Chess again.
12:10
Chess has, I think, never been more popular
12:11
than it is right now.
12:13
And if you cheat with AI, that's a
12:15
big deal.
12:16
And no one or almost no one watches
12:17
two AIs play each other.
12:19
We're very interested in what humans do.
12:21
When I read a book that I love,
12:23
the first thing I do when I finish
12:24
is I want to know everything about the
12:25
author's life.
12:26
That's what I do, too.
12:27
The minute I finish a book, I want
12:29
to read everything about the author's life.
12:31
Do you have time for work, Sam Altman?
12:33
I mean, you must be so busy researching
12:35
author's lives.
12:37
Wow.
12:37
Well, what he means by that is he
12:39
looks him up on Wikipedia.
12:40
Exactly.
12:42
No, he just says, hello, Chad GPG.
12:45
Tell me about this author's life.
12:47
And I want to feel some connection to
12:49
that person.
12:49
Oh, yeah.
12:50
I want to feel connection.
12:51
Why?
12:51
I don't know.
12:54
Why?
12:55
Just let the licky boy talk.
12:56
Feel some connection to that person that made
12:58
this thing that resonated with me.
13:00
Humans know what other humans want very well.
13:02
Humans are also very interested in other people.
13:04
I think humans are going to we're going
13:06
to have better tools.
13:07
We've had better tools before, but we're still
13:09
like very focused on each other.
13:12
Whatever.
13:14
That was the crux of his speech.
13:16
Now, the big one came in the form.
13:18
That was the crux of his speech that
13:20
people like people.
13:21
Yes, people, they like people.
13:25
Yeah, I expected Barbra Streisand to walk out.
13:27
Hello, Sam.
13:29
This was the big one at Davos.
13:32
This is the big this is this what
13:33
everyone's focused on.
13:34
They even made a commercial kind of infotainment
13:37
value tainment piece for it.
13:39
Misinformation is the biggest short term risk to
13:42
the world.
13:43
Misinformation and disinformation will be the top risk
13:46
to countries around the world.
13:48
Over the next two years, the world.
13:50
Yes, really.
13:51
Not fires, not earthquakes, not storms, not even
13:55
climate change.
13:56
No, the biggest risk is misinformation and disinformation
14:00
about climate change.
14:02
It tops everything.
14:04
The people, the spell has been broken.
14:07
They realize now that they no longer have.
14:11
This is your theme for the show, by
14:12
the way.
14:13
I caught it.
14:14
OK, the spell has been broken.
14:15
They no longer the elite messaging system no
14:19
longer works.
14:19
And they're realizing it.
14:21
So the only thing they can do is
14:23
attack everything else, saying you don't want to
14:26
risk being miss or disinformed by any other
14:30
media than the ones we approve of.
14:33
This is the message that you will hear
14:35
in this communique around the world over the
14:39
next two years.
14:40
The World Economic Forum has revealed in its
14:42
annual global risk report.
14:44
The WEF surveyed hundreds of experts worldwide and
14:48
found that false and misleading content is seriously
14:51
harming the geopolitical environment in a number of
14:54
ways.
14:54
It enables foreign entities to affect voter intentions.
15:00
Foreign entities are affecting their intentions.
15:03
People, people are voting wrong.
15:05
They're voting wrong because of this foreign entity.
15:08
By the way, before this clip even finishes,
15:10
I'm going to give a clip of the
15:11
day.
15:12
Well, that is just fantastic.
15:14
I can tell.
15:15
I can tell.
15:18
So stupid.
15:20
They just take the public for a bunch
15:22
of idiots.
15:23
But please continue this clip.
15:25
Yes, that that is correct.
15:27
And they are telling them that they're idiots
15:29
because they're getting the wrong information in a
15:33
number of ways.
15:34
It enables foreign entities to affect voter intentions.
15:37
It can sow doubt among the public about
15:40
what is happening in conflict zones.
15:42
And it can be used to tarnish the
15:44
image of products or services from another country.
15:47
Oh, it tarnishes products and services from another
15:50
country.
15:51
If you say, you know, those Peugeot cars,
15:55
they suck.
15:56
Oh, you're tarnishing.
15:57
It's misinformation.
15:59
High fructose corn syrup.
16:01
It sucks.
16:02
A number of countries in Europe ranked misinformation
16:04
as one of its top five risks, according
16:07
to the WF.
16:08
These include the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, the
16:11
Netherlands and Sweden.
16:13
Other European countries such as France, Greece, Italy,
16:16
Portugal, Spain and the UK also rank it
16:19
highly, often in the top 10.
16:22
It's becoming increasingly hard to know where to
16:24
turn for true information.
16:25
Oh, it's so hard to know where to
16:27
turn for true information.
16:29
According to the report.
16:30
Don't go to podcasts.
16:31
With political and societal polarization, skewing narratives and
16:35
distorting facts.
16:37
Respondents in high income countries are generally more
16:39
likely to express concern about the risk of
16:42
misinformation over the next two years than respondents
16:45
in lower income countries, according to the report.
16:48
Although there are some exceptions, people worried about
16:50
disinformation also often highlight societal polarization as one
16:54
of the most severe risks in the same
16:56
time frame.
16:57
Don't argue with each other about topics.
16:59
Just all agree with what we say.
17:02
With poor quality content and lack of trust
17:04
in information sources, continuing to present a threat
17:07
to societies.
17:09
Experts have repeatedly said that the best way
17:11
to protect yourself from misinformation is to stick
17:13
to impartial, well-established news outlets, such as
17:16
news agencies, to keep on top of the
17:18
most accurate information.
17:20
Yeah, keep reading the news agencies.
17:22
The news agencies.
17:23
They're the ones you can trust.
17:25
The news agencies.
17:26
And so the Spanish prime minister, Pedro, Pedro
17:30
Sanchez, great DJ name, by the way.
17:38
So Pedro, who's a good looking guy.
17:40
Pedro's kind of a hottie.
17:44
Pedro stands up and he lays it all
17:46
out and he says, we cannot have this.
17:49
And here's the solution.
17:50
I propose putting an end to anonymity on
17:55
social media.
17:57
In our countries, no one can walk the
17:59
streets with a mask on their face or
18:02
drive a car without a license plate.
18:05
No one can send packages without showing an
18:08
ID or buy a hunting weapon without giving
18:12
their name.
18:12
And yet we are allowing people to roam
18:16
freely on social networks without linking their profiles
18:19
to a real identity.
18:22
This is paving the way for misinformation, hate
18:25
speech and cyber harassment.
18:28
Because it is facilitating the use of bots
18:31
and it is allowing people to act without
18:34
being held accountable for their actions.
18:37
Such an anomaly cannot continue.
18:41
In a democracy, citizens have the right to
18:43
privacy, not the not to anonymity or impunity.
18:47
Oh, that's interesting.
18:49
I didn't know that in a democracy, you
18:50
have the right to privacy, but not anonymity.
18:54
Is that true in a democracy?
18:56
That's horseshit, by the way, don't you?
18:58
When do you have to show an ID
19:00
to send a package?
19:01
That's exactly what he said.
19:03
Well, I don't know about Europe.
19:05
OK, what do you got here?
19:06
I'm going to send this package to Adam
19:08
from here.
19:09
OK, let me see your ID.
19:10
Let me see your ID.
19:11
When does that ever happen to the post
19:13
office or the UPS or any place?
19:15
But isn't the fundamental part of democracy is
19:19
voting anonymously?
19:21
Isn't I mean, isn't that anonymity?
19:23
You're right.
19:24
I would think that's a secret ballot.
19:26
Secret ballot, not to anonymity or impunity, because
19:29
with those two social coexistence would be impossible.
19:36
OK, social coexistence is out.
19:38
It's gone.
19:39
It's all over.
19:39
But.
19:40
Pedro has a solution.
19:42
I can already imagine.
19:44
I already know what it is.
19:45
Here we go.
19:46
Of course, you know what it is.
19:48
Impossible.
19:49
That is why I believe we must push
19:51
forward the principle of pseudonymity as the functioning
19:56
element of social media and force all these
19:59
platforms to link every user account to an
20:02
European digital identity wallet.
20:05
This way, citizens could use nicknames if they
20:10
want.
20:11
But in the case of a crime, public
20:13
authorities would be able to connect those nicknames
20:15
to real people and hold them responsible because
20:19
accountability is not an obstacle to freedom of
20:23
speech.
20:23
It is an essential complement to it.
20:26
It is an obstacle if you talk about
20:28
things like hate speech.
20:30
Yes, it's an obstacle.
20:31
So what's the you're on social media and
20:35
they want to link you to a crime
20:36
that you committed on social media, which can
20:38
only be hate speech on social media, like
20:40
in the UK, correct, where they're even threatening
20:43
to to extradite U.S. citizens for hate
20:47
speech in this country that has something to
20:49
do with the UK.
20:50
This is ridiculous.
20:53
Yes.
20:53
But the thing that I found interesting is
20:56
he said a European Union digital ID wallet.
21:02
Notice he added wallet.
21:04
Yeah, I think was a mistake.
21:06
Well, he's giving it away.
21:08
It may be just a language problem that
21:11
wallet to him might be, you know, just
21:14
he may just said wallet.
21:16
I mean, what?
21:18
OK, well, let's break this down.
21:19
If he if he meant to wallet, what
21:21
is that?
21:22
What's right?
21:23
Why use that word wallet?
21:25
Because they're going to roll out a European
21:27
digital ID slash wallet for your digital euro,
21:31
which Fifi Lagarde has been talking about for
21:34
a long time.
21:35
So you're saying it's not just a digital
21:37
ID.
21:38
It's a wallet, the futuristic version of a
21:42
smart card.
21:43
They're going to get your bank information, your
21:45
health information, every single thing that would normally
21:49
be in your wallet.
21:50
Yes.
21:50
Is now on this card.
21:52
Yes.
21:52
Walking around with you.
21:53
So if somebody wants to steal your identity,
21:55
they're better off stealing the card.
21:57
Yes.
21:58
Yes, I'm also given besides your identity.
22:02
It gives them some cash.
22:03
Well, only if they have the biometric keys
22:06
to get in.
22:07
I'm sure it will be very safe.
22:10
Oh, yeah.
22:10
No one's ever hacked such a thing.
22:13
It will be very, very because hackers are
22:15
too stupid.
22:16
Yeah.
22:16
To be able to crack these things left
22:19
and right.
22:19
It's Europe, man.
22:20
Like let them stew in their own juice.
22:22
We've warned them enough on this show.
22:25
And if people are not going to do
22:26
anything about it.
22:27
We obviously have not warned anybody enough about
22:29
anything.
22:29
That's true.
22:31
There were a couple more things related to
22:35
Davos.
22:37
The foreign minister.
22:38
Oh, no, the high representative of foreign affairs
22:40
for the European Union, Carlos.
22:43
She had a high representative.
22:45
Very.
22:46
She's super high.
22:47
She's very high.
22:48
That's true.
22:50
That's her honorific.
22:51
Amen.
22:55
She had a great little slogan on how
22:58
to prevent war.
23:00
And it rhymes to the European Union needs
23:02
to boost its defense spending to prepare for
23:04
the worst and be able to defend itself
23:06
alone if needed.
23:08
According to the bloc's top diplomat, Kaya Callas.
23:11
She said EU member states spent a collective
23:13
average of 1.9% of their GDP
23:16
on defense, while Russia was spending 9%.
23:20
There should be no doubt in any of
23:23
our minds that we need.
23:24
We need to spend more to prevent war.
23:27
It's a bumper sticker.
23:29
Spend more to prevent war.
23:32
That's the best.
23:33
I want a T-shirt with that.
23:34
That's good.
23:34
I want a T-shirt.
23:35
I want a T-shirt.
23:36
I don't even know that she knows that
23:38
it rhymes.
23:39
Spend more, prevent war.
23:40
But we also need to prepare for war.
23:43
We need to improve our capability.
23:45
Get ready for war.
23:46
This is unbelievable.
23:47
Hold on a second.
23:48
We're looking.
23:49
This is the thing about Europe.
23:51
These assholes want to be in war all
23:54
the time.
23:55
And they're just basically drumming up.
23:57
They're working themselves up.
24:00
I mean, we've done a pretty good job.
24:02
I think the United States of keeping them
24:04
from doing this.
24:05
But we can't do it forever.
24:07
The dam's going to break.
24:09
We might as well just get out of
24:10
NATO.
24:11
Stop giving money to the Ukraine.
24:12
They can let these assholes go shoot them
24:14
each other.
24:15
I think you've said quite clearly what you
24:18
think of that.
24:20
I think she's on the other side of
24:23
our boy, Mark Rutte.
24:25
You know, we have to spend much more
24:26
than 5% on our military.
24:31
And we must spend that with American defense
24:33
companies.
24:34
Because we want America in here.
24:36
And she's doing the opposite.
24:38
Remember, he said, if you don't want to
24:40
do it, you can start your own military
24:42
defense.
24:43
Which is what they're going to do anyway.
24:45
We can expect to get some sales for
24:48
a while.
24:50
And then it's going to go to the
24:52
European defense contractors.
24:54
Airbus.
24:55
Well, Airbus and Saab and all these other
24:57
operations.
24:58
There's a bunch of them.
24:59
There's more than a few.
25:00
And they can crank it up in Germany
25:01
if they want to.
25:03
They can really militarize quick.
25:05
If Germany wants to even stay in NATO,
25:07
there's talk about that.
25:08
NATO's out the window, let's face it.
25:10
NATO's going to fall apart.
25:13
Not tomorrow.
25:14
But it's going to fall apart because it's
25:16
stupid.
25:17
And it's going to fall apart.
25:19
The Russians know what's going to happen.
25:23
They're going to get attacked once again.
25:25
They get attacked every so often for whatever
25:28
reason.
25:29
And it's going to be a mess.
25:33
I continue.
25:33
20 more seconds.
25:35
We need to improve our capabilities.
25:37
We need our defense industry to produce what
25:40
we need.
25:41
We must prepare for the worst.
25:42
Over the next decade.
25:44
Gosh, it sounds like a kindergartner, you know,
25:47
doing a book report.
25:48
We must prepare.
25:49
We must prepare for the worst.
25:51
We must prepare for the worst.
25:53
Over the next decade, Calais said the EU
25:55
will need at least 500 billion euro to
25:58
remain competitive in defense.
26:00
But so far, only about 13 billion euro
26:02
has been earmarked in the EU's long-term
26:05
budget from 2021 to 2027.
26:08
Pony up, citizens.
26:10
Pony up.
26:10
Got to get to the trillion.
26:12
See, this is no good.
26:13
500 billion is nothing.
26:16
Now, we spend more than we do.
26:18
800 million in a year.
26:21
In a year.
26:22
800 billion a year.
26:23
In a year.
26:24
Yeah, we do 800 billion a year.
26:26
They can beat that.
26:27
Foam finger number one, baby.
26:30
So most of ours is waste, though, and
26:33
scams and drift.
26:35
Let's get back.
26:36
Yes, expensive toilet seats.
26:38
Let's get back to a climate.
26:39
Here is the EU high representative of climate,
26:44
the climate chief.
26:46
Another high person?
26:47
Oh, he's very high.
26:48
This guy is a Dutchman.
26:49
I didn't, I thought it was the climate
26:51
pope, Frans Timmermans, but I guess he's no
26:54
longer the guy.
26:55
Now it's Woopke.
26:57
Woopke Hekstra.
26:59
What a great name.
27:00
Woopke.
27:00
W-O-E-P-K-E.
27:02
Woopke.
27:03
Woopke.
27:04
Woopke.
27:05
Hey, Woopke, what are you doing?
27:07
Hey, Woopke.
27:08
And he has the Dutch accent, but it's
27:10
better.
27:11
I mean, well, listen, it's short.
27:13
Well, first and foremost, we will continue to
27:16
engage with our American friends and partners across
27:18
domains, in the domain of geopolitics, in the
27:21
domain of trade, but also in the domain
27:22
of climate action.
27:24
But also this will require more assertiveness, more
27:27
diplomacy from Europe across the globe.
27:30
And of course, when there is a vacuum,
27:33
others will fill it.
27:34
And that holds good for us.
27:36
But I'm sure the Chinese, the Indians and
27:40
others will play their part as well.
27:41
So what we will do is a couple
27:43
of things in the years to come.
27:45
You know, we will continue to double down
27:47
on renewables, on grid capacity, on battery capacity.
27:50
That is one.
27:51
Secondly, we're going to be very, very clear
27:54
on making sure we enhance our autonomy and
27:58
decrease our dependencies.
28:00
Yeah, good.
28:01
Go for it.
28:02
Go for it.
28:05
It's truly insane.
28:08
And the European people are just sitting by
28:10
going, oh, OK, whatever.
28:12
Is TikTok back yet?
28:13
It's like, yeah, it's all good.
28:19
In Davos, CNBC has their out...
28:22
This is...
28:23
They've been doing this for as long as
28:25
we've been doing this show.
28:26
Oh, yes, longer.
28:29
Longer.
28:29
They sit outside in the snow for the
28:32
beautiful backdrop of Davos.
28:35
And everyone has their winter coats on and
28:38
they make the CEO sit outside in the
28:41
cold, in the snow and talk and talk
28:44
about stuff.
28:45
And the saddest, the saddest guy, I don't
28:49
even know why he went, was such a
28:52
Nadella of Microsoft, who clearly is getting screwed
28:56
on the Stargate deal.
28:58
You know, because Altman was there saying, oh,
29:01
yeah, I'm a part of this.
29:02
Yeah.
29:03
Larry Ellison.
29:04
It's all good.
29:05
And here's that little short dude.
29:06
Make him stand on the stool because he's
29:08
paying for it.
29:09
Oh, yeah, it's all great.
29:11
So, of course, they have to ask him,
29:13
like, well, are you screwed?
29:14
President Trump announcing a new joint venture yesterday
29:17
called Stargate to build and grow AI infrastructure
29:20
in the U.S. OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle
29:22
plan to commit $100 billion to start, potentially
29:26
up to $500 billion over four years.
29:28
Microsoft listed as one of the partners to
29:30
the new venture.
29:31
Joining us now for an exclusive interview is
29:33
Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO of Microsoft.
29:35
Good morning to you.
29:36
Thank you so much.
29:37
And it's so good to talk to you
29:38
in the midst of all of this because
29:40
we're all trying to understand it and what
29:42
it means, whether it's possible to get to
29:45
$500 billion and what it means specifically, I
29:48
think, for your partnership with OpenAI, given that
29:51
they had been using Azure exclusively and now
29:54
obviously are going to be on other platforms
29:56
as well.
29:56
Yeah, first of all, anytime a company that
30:00
you've sponsored and were essentially a seed investor
30:03
in raises money from others, it's a good
30:05
day, a good day for OpenAI and a
30:07
good day for Microsoft and our investors.
30:10
Look, our partnership continues.
30:13
Our partner, whenever Silicon Valley guys talk like
30:16
that, well, our partnership continues.
30:18
That means you've been cut out of the
30:19
deal.
30:20
You're screwed.
30:21
Pretty much.
30:22
He's totally screwed.
30:23
Am I right?
30:25
Am I right?
30:25
Valley speak.
30:26
Valley speak.
30:27
No, our partnership is strong.
30:29
It's good.
30:29
Our investors.
30:31
Look, our partnership.
30:32
He keeps saying look.
30:34
Well, that's the giveaway.
30:36
Look.
30:36
Our investors.
30:38
Look, our partnership continues.
30:40
We'll be a tech partner to Stargate.
30:43
But more importantly.
30:44
They'll be a tech partner to Stargate.
30:46
You put that on page 35 of your
30:48
deck.
30:49
Yes, we're a tech partner to Stargate.
30:52
I've written so many of those decks.
30:54
We have a partnership, which means we had
30:56
coffee with them.
30:58
Our strategic partner is the other one.
31:01
That's better.
31:01
Strategic partnership.
31:03
OpenAI.
31:03
You talked about exclusivity.
31:05
OpenAI APIs are exclusive to Azure going forward
31:08
even.
31:09
So nothing changes there.
31:11
IP access to Microsoft continues.
31:13
And in fact, because of this, there will
31:15
be more IP.
31:16
And so therefore, we will benefit.
31:18
And we have RevShare arrangements.
31:20
RevShare.
31:21
RevShare.
31:24
And also OpenAI committed to a significant, very
31:28
significant way to Azure consumption.
31:30
And so we're very thrilled about that as
31:31
well.
31:31
So all up, as far as I'm concerned,
31:34
this accelerates OpenAI's model work, which accelerates Microsoft's
31:39
ability to go to market with those models
31:41
and really grow our business.
31:43
Yes, we're going to grow the business.
31:46
Whatever you do, end with, we're going to
31:47
grow the business.
31:48
It's great.
31:49
Invest now while stocks last.
31:50
We're going to grow the business.
31:52
I do have to just stop here by
31:54
the Stargate stuff, because this was super interesting,
31:58
because Trump is doing everything live now.
32:00
It's like, we'll do it live.
32:02
Bring them on in.
32:03
Bring them on in.
32:04
So here's the Deutsche Welle report of, which
32:07
is quite funny, of the Stargate announcement.
32:11
Together, these world-leading technology giants are announcing
32:15
the formation of Stargate.
32:17
So put that name down in your books,
32:19
because I think you're going to hear a
32:21
lot about it in the future.
32:23
A new American company that will invest $500
32:26
billion, at least, in AI infrastructure in the
32:30
United States, very quickly, moving very rapidly, creating
32:34
over 100,000 American jobs almost immediately.
32:39
$500 billion of investment.
32:41
That's a huge number.
32:43
What do you think we can expect from
32:45
these investments?
32:45
So it's $500 billion total, but $100 billion
32:48
in the next year.
32:50
And these three players, really what we know
32:53
about this is that it's going to be
32:54
data centers.
32:55
But let's break down these companies a little
32:56
bit.
32:56
OpenAI, that's a company that some folks might
32:59
have heard of already.
33:00
They're responsible for ChatGPT, this generative artificial intelligence
33:04
product.
33:05
Folks might have used this, in fact, to
33:07
help maybe plan vacations or meal plans, that
33:09
kind of a thing.
33:09
It's very user-friendly.
33:11
It's very user-friendly.
33:12
I plan my vacation with it.
33:13
You say meal plans?
33:16
Meal planner.
33:18
Meal planner, really?
33:20
Wow, we've really come a long way.
33:23
That's the extent of OpenAI.
33:25
And that's true.
33:26
Meal plans.
33:27
It's true.
33:28
That's what it's good for, meal planning.
33:30
I love it.
33:30
Generative artificial intelligence.
33:32
I don't even see it being good for
33:33
meal planning.
33:34
You should try it sometime.
33:36
I bet it's great for meal planning.
33:40
What is meal planning?
33:41
Let's start with that premise.
33:43
What is it?
33:45
Let's ask ChatGPT.
33:46
What's meal planning?
33:47
I've got a family of three, and I
33:49
need a meal plan for tonight.
33:52
OpenAI, give me a meal plan.
33:54
What's it going to tell me?
33:55
I have a family of three, give me
33:59
a meal plan for tonight.
34:02
Okay, I'm doing it on the fly, baby.
34:04
Here we go.
34:05
OpenAI, ChatGPT says, gotcha.
34:07
Here's a simple balance.
34:08
No, it didn't.
34:09
It does.
34:10
Exclamation mark.
34:11
Gotcha.
34:12
Gotcha.
34:13
Here's a simple balance and delicious meal plan
34:16
for your family of three.
34:17
Main dish.
34:20
You nailed it.
34:21
Lemon garlic chicken thighs.
34:24
Very nice.
34:25
Side dish one, garlic mashed potatoes.
34:27
Side dish two, steamed broccoli with olive oil
34:31
and lemon.
34:32
And an optional dessert, chocolate mug cakes.
34:37
And it's really in on the lemon because
34:39
for a drink, it says water with a
34:40
slice of lemon.
34:42
They're really into lemon, this ChatGPT outfit.
34:45
No kidding, and garlic.
34:47
Yeah, lemon and garlic.
34:49
All right, we continue.
34:50
This generative artificial intelligence product.
34:53
Folks might have used this, in fact, to
34:55
help maybe plan vacations or meal plans, that
34:57
kind of a thing.
34:57
It's very user-friendly.
34:59
Oracle is a massive software maker.
35:03
In 2020, they were the third largest software
35:05
company in the world.
35:06
And they're also really known for data science.
35:08
Wait, wait, stop.
35:09
Who is this chatterbox?
35:11
She's the business expert that they bring in.
35:15
You know, here's our business correspondent.
35:18
But wait, wait until you hear how much
35:20
she knows about Oracle.
35:21
And they're also really known for data centers.
35:24
And both of those companies are based out
35:26
of the United States.
35:27
But SoftBank is a Japanese company, but they've
35:30
got some very deep pockets.
35:33
And they're known for investing in artificial intelligence
35:35
companies, software companies, and also automation companies.
35:39
So those are the players that we have
35:41
right now.
35:42
And really, this is about data centers.
35:44
Joe Ellison, the Joe Ellison.
35:49
What?
35:49
She's the expert and she calls him Joe
35:53
Ellison?
35:54
From now on, Larry Ellison will be known
35:58
to the No Agenda Nation as Joe Ellison.
36:02
This is the kind of reporting that we
36:04
get from these people.
36:05
Joe Ellison.
36:08
Joe Ellison.
36:09
It's the best.
36:11
Come on.
36:11
This is great.
36:12
Joe Ellison, man.
36:13
It's fantastic.
36:15
He's not even running the company anymore.
36:17
He's the chairman.
36:18
But Joe Ellison is the guy.
36:21
And before I get to Joe Ellison, I
36:23
should play this because, uh-oh, uh-oh,
36:28
uh-oh.
36:29
Trouble on the home front.
36:30
President Trump announced yesterday a $500 billion investment
36:33
in AI.
36:34
Then last night, Elon Musk publicly criticized it,
36:38
saying that they didn't have the money.
36:43
What's that all about?
36:45
So when I cover Trump- Hold on
36:46
a second.
36:47
I didn't realize that's Anderson Cooper.
36:49
Yes.
36:50
But I didn't realize how he sounds a
36:53
lot, except for the fact that he stammers,
36:55
he sounds almost identical to Jake Tapper, if
36:58
you listen to him.
37:00
I think he's pretty distinctive.
37:02
I mean- I don't know.
37:03
I think there's a Jake Tapper element to
37:05
his voice.
37:06
It's Emilio, John.
37:09
Emilio.
37:09
Ah, that's exactly what it is.
37:11
President Trump announced yesterday- There he does
37:13
sound a bit like Jake.
37:14
I agree.
37:15
I'll agree with you.
37:16
But let's not get hung up on it.
37:17
$500 billion investment in AI.
37:20
Then last night, Elon Musk publicly criticized it,
37:23
saying that they didn't have the money.
37:28
What's that all about?
37:29
What's that all about?
37:29
So when I covered Trump in his first
37:32
administration, there was this huge announcement around Foxconn.
37:35
They were going to build this electrics factory
37:36
in Wisconsin.
37:37
It's this Taiwanese maker.
37:39
And there was all this publicity around it.
37:41
It was a big White House push.
37:43
They encouraged reporters to talk about it.
37:45
And then it never ended up materializing, certainly
37:47
not in the way that it was touted.
37:49
It did not create anywhere near as many
37:51
jobs as they said initially.
37:52
And so when this came out yesterday, and
37:54
Trump was in the Roosevelt Room making this
37:56
announcement, I reminded people that this did happen
37:59
before.
37:59
And with these announcements, you kind of have
38:01
to wait and see what happens before you
38:03
go too far.
38:04
Now, on this one, we don't know.
38:05
This is a data center that they're creating,
38:07
hoping to kind of expand infrastructure in the
38:10
- A data center, OK.
38:11
United States, when it comes to artificial intelligence.
38:14
Because people like Sam Altman, who was standing
38:16
next to Trump in the room yesterday, have
38:18
warned we're way behind China when it comes
38:20
to the AI race.
38:22
But Elon Musk is pouring cold water on
38:24
this idea that this is a $500 billion
38:26
investment.
38:27
Initially, it's supposed to be $100 billion and
38:29
then get up to $500 billion.
38:31
Elon Musk is claiming that this company doesn't
38:34
even have $10 billion behind this to do
38:36
this.
38:36
Now, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is
38:39
disagreeing.
38:39
Shut him up.
38:40
They are basically in legal warfare.
38:42
That's important context here between Elon Musk and
38:44
Sam Altman.
38:45
They're suing each other.
38:46
Or Elon Musk is suing them.
38:48
And so it is important to remember there's
38:49
tension here.
38:50
But really, the story of this is Elon
38:52
Musk is undercutting Donald Trump on one of
38:54
the biggest announcements he made on his first
38:56
full day in office.
38:58
And it raises that question we've been talking
39:00
about, which is, what does this look like
39:02
when someone who is not afraid to voice
39:03
his opinion, neither of them are, when those
39:06
conflict and what this ultimately looks like?
39:08
But the White House is saying that people
39:10
should take Trump's word for it, not Elon's.
39:14
So, you know, Elon, shut up, man.
39:16
Shut up.
39:16
This is good for America.
39:17
100,000 jobs.
39:22
He's probably more right than wrong.
39:24
No, he's totally, I'm sure he's completely right.
39:26
He's probably even exaggerating a 10 billion.
39:29
He says there's no money.
39:31
He says this is bull crap.
39:33
And I believe that's to be true.
39:34
But yeah, Trump's trying to do one thing.
39:35
This is, I think, however, this even got
39:38
to become an issue, I think has something
39:40
to do with the Bannon thing.
39:41
Bannon is still upset about, he hates Elon.
39:44
Because he usurped him in the position of
39:46
being Trump's buddy.
39:49
Yes, yes, yes.
39:50
Good point.
39:51
We haven't talked about this.
39:53
He predicted that Elon would be gone.
39:56
He's going to be gone before the inauguration.
39:58
Well, he's not gone.
39:59
No, but this is a crack in the
40:01
armor.
40:02
This is not good.
40:04
It's not good.
40:06
And I will say that.
40:07
Well, I don't know if it's not good
40:08
or not.
40:09
Maybe Trump is being led down to primrose
40:11
path by these other bullshit.
40:12
Oh, totally.
40:14
He's completely bought into AI.
40:16
And he's been told that we need more
40:19
energy.
40:19
So that's something he can understand.
40:21
What, you need more energy?
40:21
I'm going to make more energy.
40:23
That he has down.
40:25
But will it?
40:25
I mean, you probably did hear about China's
40:28
DeepSeek.
40:30
Did you hear about this?
40:32
No, you got me there.
40:33
Yeah.
40:34
So the Chinese DeepSeek have released an open
40:37
source model, which I love this.
40:39
This whole open source thing started with Meta
40:42
when they released the Lama model, which is
40:44
really ruining the business model for these magicians
40:47
like Altman.
40:49
And their model matches or exceeds OpenAI's latest
40:57
model 01 on various benchmarks, whatever that means,
41:01
but their costs.
41:02
Whatever that means.
41:03
But yeah, menu planning.
41:05
But they charge only 3% of the
41:10
price that it takes to train an OpenAI
41:12
model.
41:13
And that was quite a story on CNBC.
41:16
I don't know if it's true, but that
41:19
is something that we need to keep in
41:20
the back of our mind.
41:21
But really, none of this is about menu
41:23
planning.
41:23
It's not about planning your vacation.
41:26
Larry Ellison, I'm sorry, Joe Ellison told us
41:29
quite clearly what this is going to do.
41:33
Once we gene sequence, once we gene sequence
41:36
that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the
41:40
person, design a vaccine for every individual person
41:45
to vaccinate them against that cancer.
41:48
And you can make that vaccine, that mRNA
41:52
vaccine, you can make that robotically again using
41:56
AI in about 48 hours.
41:58
So imagine early cancer detection, the development of
42:01
a cancer vaccine for your particular cancer aimed
42:05
at you, and have that vaccine available in
42:08
48 hours.
42:09
This is the promise of AI and the
42:11
promise of the future.
42:13
So I'm listening to this.
42:15
I'm like, so you're making an mRNA?
42:18
Are they, do you think that they're planning
42:20
on creating an mRNA shot that reverses the
42:25
previous mRNA damage that has been done, tailored
42:29
to each individual?
42:31
I really don't think so.
42:32
But McCullough this morning sent out a, one
42:37
of his courageous discourse substack column, sent out
42:41
a discussion about this particular bullshit.
42:44
And the thing is that, and he talked
42:47
about how, why it won't work, mainly because
42:51
it doesn't take into account all kinds of
42:53
stuff.
42:54
But the thing that disappointed me about McCullough's
42:56
thing and this report and everybody else that
42:58
talks about this is that we have redefined
43:01
what a vaccine is to some malarkey, but
43:05
this is, when you listen to the description
43:08
of what this is supposed to do, this
43:09
is a therapy.
43:11
A therapy is not a vaccine.
43:13
A vaccine is to prevent cancer in the
43:17
first place.
43:18
This is a therapy.
43:19
Nobody uses the word therapy.
43:22
No, because they changed the meaning of the
43:24
word vaccine during COVID.
43:26
But the new meaning is bull crap.
43:30
The new meaning is just something you get
43:31
with a needle.
43:33
Yeah, the boom.
43:35
A B12 shot.
43:37
Is a vaccine.
43:38
Yes.
43:39
Taking blood.
43:40
It's a reverse vaccine.
43:44
Good news though.
43:45
I think Larry's off his rocker when it
43:47
comes to, or Joe, I'm sorry, Joe.
43:49
Joe's off his rocker when it comes to
43:51
this.
43:51
And this whole thing, just pie in the
43:52
sky stuff sounds interesting.
43:54
It's going to go nowhere.
43:56
It's going to cost a lot of taxpayer
43:58
money.
43:59
Well, no, it's supposed to be Masa's son's
44:01
money.
44:02
Not at all.
44:02
Yeah, sure.
44:03
This guy hasn't put money into anything.
44:05
He's really good at talking a big game
44:08
and doing nothing.
44:09
He put a lot of money into WeWork.
44:10
That was a good one.
44:12
Remember that?
44:13
You know, yeah, he did, but it was,
44:15
you know, he's, he leverages to an extreme.
44:19
You know, I don't think that they really,
44:21
he's not a risk taker in the, in
44:24
the sense that he makes himself out, makes
44:27
himself look to be.
44:28
I'm with you there.
44:29
There wasn't by any means.
44:31
There was some really good news that came
44:33
out for a number of our producers who
44:35
will love hearing this effective January 22nd, 2025.
44:38
Yesterday, UCSIS waives any and all requirements that
44:43
applicants for adjustment of status.
44:45
So if you want to come into the
44:46
United States legally, if you've married an American
44:49
citizen to that of a lawful permanent resident
44:53
present documentation on the form I-693 report
44:56
of immigration, medical examination, vaccination record that they
44:59
received the COVID-19 vaccination.
45:01
USCIS will not issue any requests for evidence
45:04
or notice of intent to deny relating to
45:06
providing a COVID-19 vaccination.
45:09
So that is no longer an issue.
45:12
That was a big one.
45:13
That was a huge one.
45:14
And that, that just floated under the wire.
45:17
We had a number of people that are
45:18
producers of this show that have this problem.
45:20
Yes.
45:21
That's why I'm very happy to report it
45:22
to them.
45:24
It's great news because that was a big
45:27
problem.
45:27
Everybody can kind of show that you had
45:29
your, your polio and your smallpox.
45:31
Most people who want to come in, but
45:33
they, they didn't want the, the COVID shot.
45:36
You get the counterfeit documents and make it
45:38
work.
45:38
Okay.
45:38
Yeah.
45:39
It's easy.
45:40
But then at the end, at the end
45:43
of this briefing, the president takes questions as
45:47
he's known to do.
45:49
And this was fantastic.
45:51
He's negotiating a deal on live TV.
45:54
Are you open to Elon buying TikTok?
45:56
I would be if he wanted to buy
45:58
it.
46:00
I'd like Larry to buy it too.
46:02
I have the right to make a deal.
46:03
I'd like Larry to, Joe, his name is
46:05
Joe.
46:06
So the deal I'm thinking about- Larry
46:08
Ellison?
46:09
Yeah.
46:10
Who's standing right there.
46:11
He's talking about Larry Ellison, not Larry Page.
46:13
He's standing right there.
46:15
Larry Moe and Curly.
46:16
He looks right at Joe Ellison and says,
46:19
Larry, I'm sure Larry Ellison is there.
46:21
Yeah.
46:21
This is at the end of this announcement.
46:23
This was the, he's just taking questions off
46:26
the cuff.
46:26
I'd like Larry to buy it.
46:28
He points it.
46:28
Oh, that's interesting.
46:29
Oh, wait, wait.
46:30
I have the right to make a deal.
46:32
So the deal I'm thinking about, Larry, let's
46:34
negotiate in front of the media.
46:37
I'm not putting you on the spot or
46:39
anything, Larry.
46:40
The deal I think is this, and I've
46:43
met with owners of TikTok, the big owners.
46:47
It's worthless if it doesn't get a permit.
46:50
It's not like, oh, you can take the
46:51
US.
46:52
The whole thing is worthless.
46:54
With a permit, it's worth like a trillion
46:56
dollars.
46:57
Okay.
46:57
That may be, that may be, this is
47:00
a Mar-a-Lago type valuation of TikTok.
47:03
Do you think it's worth a trillion dollars?
47:05
We're in trouble in New York already.
47:07
A trillion dollars.
47:09
That seems like a lot, but we'll stick
47:11
with the president and his thinking.
47:12
So what I'm thinking about saying to somebody
47:15
is buy it and give half to the
47:18
United States of America, half, and we'll give
47:20
you the permit.
47:21
Yeah.
47:22
And they'll have a great partner, the United
47:23
States.
47:23
Exactly.
47:24
This is, I love it.
47:25
President Trump is negotiating on our behalf.
47:27
He wants to get 500 billion.
47:29
I think it's interesting the numbers all match
47:31
up here, but 500 billion from whoever buys
47:34
TikTok.
47:34
This is a good deal.
47:36
And they'll have something that's actually more valuable
47:38
because they have the ultimate partner.
47:40
And the United States will make it very
47:42
worthwhile for them in terms of the permits
47:44
and everything else.
47:45
But so think of it.
47:46
You have an asset that has no value
47:49
or has a trillion dollar value.
47:51
It all depends on whether or not the
47:53
United States gives the permit.
47:55
So what I'm saying is let the United
47:56
States give the permit and the United States
47:59
should get half.
48:00
Now, wait for it.
48:02
Sounds reasonable.
48:03
What do you think?
48:04
Sounds like a good deal to me, Mr.
48:05
President.
48:06
Yeah, he can afford it, too.
48:10
So Larry Ellison says, sounds like a good
48:12
deal to me, Mr. President.
48:13
Let me get my checkbook.
48:14
Sounds like a banger of a deal, Mr.
48:17
President.
48:18
Wow.
48:20
Four more years, John.
48:23
Nothing can outstrip what we're about to witness
48:25
in the next four years.
48:27
It's just phenomenal.
48:29
I'm excited.
48:30
I'm fired up.
48:31
Yeah, I can tell.
48:32
I'm fired up by all of this.
48:33
This is great.
48:36
Well, it's definitely funny.
48:38
Oh, well, that's what I mean.
48:40
It's like we got the news is so
48:42
flustered.
48:43
They're calling Larry Joe.
48:44
I mean, this is this is good stuff.
48:47
You got Satya Nadella going humming a humming
48:49
in the snow.
48:50
This is this.
48:51
You can't write this.
48:52
You just can't write this.
48:54
This next executive order, I thought, was fascinating
48:58
from a legal standpoint.
49:01
And I read into the documents and I'm,
49:04
of course, going to get counsel or no
49:06
agenda counsel, constitutional lawyer Rob to weigh in.
49:11
I think Trump has an interesting angle here.
49:14
This next order relates to the definition of
49:16
birthright citizenship.
49:17
And with one signature, President Donald Trump sought
49:20
to take away a key part of the
49:21
14th Amendment birthright citizenship.
49:24
But before the ink even dried, the American
49:26
Civil Liberties Union had filed a lawsuit.
49:28
People that are born here in the United
49:30
States are entitled to U.S. citizenship.
49:33
And so President Trump cannot unilaterally end birthright
49:36
citizenship.
49:37
More than 20 states have also filed suit
49:39
against the executive order, including New Jersey.
49:42
Our broad coalition of states is standing up
49:44
for the president and defending the rule of
49:47
law.
49:48
Birthright citizenship guarantees any person born on U
49:51
.S. soil is a U.S. citizen.
49:53
It's part of the 14th Amendment added to
49:55
the Constitution after the Civil War.
49:57
That was meant to extend and did extend
50:01
citizenship to formerly enslaved people.
50:05
Swarthmore College political science professor Emerita Carol Nackenoff
50:08
wrote American by Birth, a book about the
50:11
Supreme Court case that established automatic citizenship for
50:14
people born in the U.S. Trump's executive
50:17
order, though, is new territory.
50:19
I don't believe any president has tried to
50:21
alter birthright citizenship through an executive order.
50:26
Since Trump's election, immigration advocacy groups in Pennsylvania
50:30
have protested, anticipating the new administration's actions.
50:34
It's really important that state and local officials
50:36
reject any state agency action that would restrict
50:40
the issuance of birth certificates.
50:41
As the issue now heads to the courts,
50:43
Nackenoff is already analyzing the type of impact
50:46
that could go down in history.
50:49
It certainly makes the U.S. look far
50:52
less welcoming.
50:53
Yeah.
50:54
So first of note is that this will
50:58
not affect previous persons who were born in
51:01
the United States?
51:02
No, it can't because that'd be ex post
51:04
facto.
51:04
You can't do that by the Constitution.
51:06
Exactly.
51:07
So it's 30 days from the signing of
51:09
the executive order.
51:10
But I think he has a point.
51:12
As you look at Section 1 of the
51:14
14th Amendment, all persons born or naturalized in
51:17
the United States and subject to the jurisdiction
51:20
thereof are citizens of the United States.
51:24
And so what the executive order, it's not
51:27
changing anything.
51:28
It's an interpretation, which is incorrect from this
51:31
report.
51:33
So I'll just read this one paragraph from
51:35
the executive order.
51:35
But the 14th Amendment has never been interpreted
51:37
to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within
51:41
the United States.
51:42
The 14th Amendment has always excluded from birthright
51:45
citizenship persons who were born in the United
51:48
States but not, quote, subject to the jurisdiction
51:51
thereof.
51:52
Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further
51:55
specified through legislation that, quote, a person born
51:58
in the United States and subject to the
52:00
jurisdiction thereof is a national and citizen of
52:03
the United States at birth, generally mirroring the
52:07
14th Amendment's text.
52:08
So what he's saying is if your parents
52:11
were here and they were here illegally, they
52:15
were technically not subject to the jurisdiction of
52:18
the United States.
52:19
That is the point of contention, because what's
52:21
happened so far...
52:22
Of course it is.
52:23
What's happened so far is, for example, diplomats
52:26
come over, they have a baby, but they're
52:28
not subject to the jurisdiction of the United
52:30
States.
52:31
Well, there's a carve-out for diplomats.
52:34
They get to park anywhere they want to.
52:36
They're not subject to parking laws.
52:37
That's because they're not subject to our laws,
52:39
period.
52:40
I'm not arguing with you.
52:42
Deputy Minister, the illegal aliens, I'm taking this
52:46
side of the argument.
52:47
I have another look at this.
52:51
The illegal aliens are subject to the jurisdiction
52:55
because they get arrested, they get thrown in
52:56
jail, they get treated like Americans.
53:00
I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary
53:02
of that.
53:02
So they can make that argument, and that's
53:03
the argument they're gonna make.
53:04
But the problem is what they're hoping for
53:06
is this goes to the Supreme Court, and
53:08
they're hoping to God that the originalists that
53:12
are on the Supreme Court, and there's a
53:14
couple of them, not quite to the level
53:16
that they used to have, but there's a
53:17
couple of them, and they look back at
53:19
the arguments that created this law, and the
53:23
guys who put the law together specifically said
53:25
it was only for the slaves.
53:28
Yeah.
53:28
So then they should use that argument.
53:32
Well, that's what's gonna happen.
53:33
They're gonna go back and forth on this,
53:35
and they won't do it.
53:37
They haven't got the Supreme Court, the current
53:39
Supreme Court with all the conservatives, nonetheless, including
53:43
Amy Coney Barrett.
53:46
They don't have the guts to do it.
53:48
They won't do it.
53:49
This is not gonna work, and it's gonna
53:50
get thrown back, and we're gonna be stuck
53:53
with this.
53:53
We're the only country in the Western Hemisphere
53:55
that does this, by the way.
53:57
If you're born in any other country, this
53:59
doesn't happen, but it happens here.
54:01
That apparently is not true.
54:02
I thought that too, but it turns out
54:04
that's about...
54:05
Name one country.
54:07
Well, I had a report, and I didn't...
54:10
You don't have to.
54:10
Just go to ChadGPT and ask.
54:12
Okay.
54:12
Which countries allow birthright citizenship?
54:19
I think there's about 30 countries that allow
54:21
it.
54:22
Also known as Jusoli, the right of soil.
54:29
Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
54:34
Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay,
54:38
Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela.
54:39
Somebody's misleading us.
54:42
Yes.
54:43
France also, if at least one parent is
54:45
a resident or the child resides in France
54:47
for a certain period.
54:49
Well, that's just one parent.
54:51
That makes sense.
54:53
That's different.
54:55
Pakistan, children of diplomats are allowed, as we
54:58
discussed earlier.
55:00
And the ones who have abolished it are
55:03
the United Kingdom and India.
55:06
So I only know this because I heard
55:09
a report, which I didn't clip because I
55:10
didn't think it would come up.
55:13
So we may not be the only ones
55:15
to do it, but we are the only
55:16
ones who wrote this specifically for slavery.
55:19
I'm sorry, formerly enslaved persons.
55:22
Yeah.
55:23
I found that usage quite odd too.
55:25
Oh, it's so annoying.
55:27
It's so annoying.
55:28
Formerly enslaved.
55:29
Yeah.
55:29
They were slaves.
55:31
Yeah.
55:31
But I think probably the most interesting set
55:36
of executive orders, which have just caused a
55:44
tidal wave of emotions everywhere.
55:47
I have, I have clips on this one.
55:50
Okay.
55:50
Well, are we talking about DEI?
55:52
I guess we are, right?
55:53
Oh, no, not DEI.
55:55
I'm talking about transgender, two sexes.
55:57
Well, that's, but that's all a part of
55:59
it.
55:59
That's all.
56:00
Well, no, but it's a separate executive order.
56:02
Well, let's do that first.
56:04
Then you play some clips.
56:05
I want to hear.
56:06
Well, I was just going to say that
56:07
one of the executive orders is that, and
56:09
I think this was a setup.
56:10
I think it's a honey trap.
56:13
I have this thesis that the Republicans are
56:17
going to try to keep this issue in
56:19
the public eye.
56:21
Ah, to keep the Democrats talking about it.
56:23
To keep the Democrats all jacked up about
56:26
transsexual, the trans Maoist stuff that we've been
56:29
talking about on this show forever.
56:32
Because it hurts them in the elections.
56:35
This is the Achilles heel of the Democrat
56:38
party, much the same way as it used
56:40
to be abortion for the Republican party.
56:44
And it's still is to some extent.
56:47
And by the way, Mike Pence has put
56:49
together an organization to stop the confirmation of
56:55
Kennedy because of his liberal policies, his liberal
57:02
attitude.
57:02
It's just his attitude about abortion and right
57:07
to life compared to putting it to his
57:10
balances.
57:11
Not in keeping with what Pence wants.
57:14
Pence was a terrible person, terrible vice president.
57:17
I don't like the guy, never did.
57:18
Was there a specific, what is the exact,
57:24
I think the executive order you're referring to
57:26
is that the federal government will only recognize
57:30
two genders?
57:32
Yeah.
57:33
I don't think it's specifically said LGBTQ or
57:38
trans.
57:38
No, no, of course not.
57:40
It doesn't have to.
57:41
Okay.
57:41
All right.
57:46
I have some clips that I'm trying to,
57:49
actually, when I'm going to go through these
57:50
TikTok clips, I have way too many today.
57:53
Because here's what I heard.
57:55
I heard that, well, it really won't affect
57:59
anybody too much, except the big issue seems
58:01
to be that you cannot identify as your
58:05
gender of choice on your government documents, i
58:09
.e. passport.
58:10
I think it may still be allowed.
58:14
You're not listening to the right sources because
58:17
the thing that's going on is- I'm
58:20
not listening to the, I'm wrong.
58:22
I'm no good.
58:23
I'm listening to the wrong sources.
58:24
You're not hearing the people that make this
58:27
argument.
58:28
Oh, I'm non-binary.
58:30
It's all the non-binaries, by the way,
58:31
making the biggest fuss.
58:33
I'm non-binary, so if I leave the
58:34
country and I don't have my passport checked
58:38
properly, they won't let me back in the
58:41
country.
58:42
Okay.
58:43
So I am hearing the right argument, but
58:45
I didn't hear the lower level of what
58:48
it means, supposedly, to people.
58:51
Because you look like a girl and it
58:53
says, boy, and your passport, they're not going
58:54
to let you in.
58:55
Is that the idea?
58:58
That and among other things.
59:00
Let's listen to the- we got a
59:02
clip or two here.
59:03
Let's try this one.
59:04
This is talk anti-Trump trans lament.
59:09
Okay.
59:10
Please excuse my hair.
59:11
I just woke up.
59:13
Donald Trump was inaugurated at 12 and just
59:16
a few minutes ago, he has now claimed
59:19
that- Okay, stop the clip and start
59:23
it over.
59:24
She just woke up at noon.
59:29
So it's Monday or Tuesday?
59:32
Does she even know what day it is?
59:34
So you still have the clip on.
59:36
That's funny.
59:37
Please excuse my hair.
59:38
I just woke up.
59:39
Donald Trump was inaugurated at 12 and just
59:43
a few minutes ago, he has now claimed
59:46
that there will only be the male and
59:49
female gender that will be recognized in America.
59:52
This sets back everything that the trans community
59:54
has been working for.
59:55
And we have already not been recognized in
59:57
this country for centuries.
59:59
If we remember- That's your age.
1:00:00
10 years ago, we had just earned the
1:00:03
right to change our gender on our passports
1:00:06
and IDs.
1:00:07
Just because I want to identify as a
1:00:08
man does not mean I am trying to
1:00:10
hurt you.
1:00:11
In these next four years, you are going
1:00:13
to hear the most intense anti-trans propaganda
1:00:15
you have ever heard in your entire life.
1:00:17
And they're going to strewn in a way
1:00:19
that sounds extremely convincing because it will fear
1:00:22
monger.
1:00:23
It will fear monger everyone's insecurities.
1:00:25
Please talk to your neighbors, protect your trans
1:00:28
community, stay involved, and do not forget us
1:00:32
because history will try to erase us.
1:00:35
It's so sad that they don't understand that
1:00:39
you can actually, you can identify as a
1:00:42
banana if you want to.
1:00:44
No one in America cares about that.
1:00:48
And they spelled it out quite clearly in
1:00:51
the executive order that it will be based
1:00:57
upon sex.
1:00:58
Women or women or girls or girls should
1:01:00
meet an adult and juvenile human female, respectively,
1:01:03
men or man, boys or boy.
1:01:06
Female means a person belonging at conception to
1:01:09
the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
1:01:12
Male means a person belonging at conception to
1:01:14
the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.
1:01:18
Man, Katonji Jackson-Brown should have been able
1:01:20
to say that when she was questioned about
1:01:22
it, but she didn't.
1:01:24
Okay.
1:01:25
No, she's too busy working on her Broadway
1:01:27
play.
1:01:29
Yeah.
1:01:30
Here's another one.
1:01:31
This is a non-binary person.
1:01:33
This one I have to describe because it's
1:01:35
so good.
1:01:35
This is the stateness clip.
1:01:38
This is, I believe, a genetic woman who
1:01:43
is now a man and she, he, it,
1:01:48
they, them, I don't know.
1:01:49
She never said her pronouns, so what am
1:01:50
I supposed to do?
1:01:52
She, he, it, them, they has gauged ears,
1:01:58
piercings, big buck teeth, which makes it even
1:02:02
somewhat weird, huge horned rimmed glasses, a lousy
1:02:07
beard that you'd see on a 12-year
1:02:08
-old kid who's trying to grow a beard,
1:02:11
and bald shaved bald head, and just looks
1:02:14
strange.
1:02:15
And this is the pitch.
1:02:17
Well, it's been rough.
1:02:18
It was not what I was expecting at
1:02:21
all, considering some of the rhetoric he has
1:02:24
said.
1:02:25
I thought we as a nation were smarter,
1:02:28
but I guess not.
1:02:30
To my transgender friends and, you know, the
1:02:34
people who it affects, as long as you
1:02:37
stay alive, they cannot say we don't exist.
1:02:40
Being a Satanist means rebelling against them because
1:02:44
they're wrong.
1:02:45
And as long as you draw a breath,
1:02:47
every breath you take is a rebellion.
1:02:50
Keep on fighting because you just have to.
1:02:55
Hail Satan, hail reason always.
1:02:59
That's the offensive part at the end.
1:03:01
I don't care what your buck teeth look
1:03:03
like.
1:03:03
Hail Satan.
1:03:05
Give me a break.
1:03:06
Give me a break.
1:03:09
I'll return to that in a moment when
1:03:11
you're done with these things.
1:03:13
No, I don't really.
1:03:14
I mean, the other one I have is
1:03:15
kind of a pathetic clip that I have.
1:03:16
They're all pathetic.
1:03:17
They're all pathetic.
1:03:19
And not even funny.
1:03:21
There's levels of pathos that come and go.
1:03:23
Yeah, it's sad.
1:03:25
It's a spectrum of pathos.
1:03:30
This is just a little shorty 17-second
1:03:32
clip on the trans kid's age where somebody's
1:03:35
being interviewed, some mom.
1:03:37
It's interesting to me that women seem to
1:03:40
be the promoters mostly of the trans movement
1:03:43
in their children, not the men.
1:03:46
And the men usually defend the born-as
1:03:49
sexuality, and the women are the ones, like
1:03:52
Megan Fox with her three transgender kids, three
1:03:58
boys-turned-girls, and then she makes public
1:04:01
commentary.
1:04:01
What are the chances?
1:04:02
She makes public commentary about she hates men,
1:04:06
and I think there might be some connection
1:04:07
between what's going on and hating men.
1:04:11
But listen to this little clip.
1:04:14
What age do you think most trans kids
1:04:16
determine that they're trans?
1:04:19
Violet told us when she was one and
1:04:23
a half.
1:04:24
She's been telling us since she could speak.
1:04:28
So she knew since birth.
1:04:33
God help these people.
1:04:37
That's just sad.
1:04:39
That's sad.
1:04:41
All right, since we did Satan, I'm going
1:04:44
to do this.
1:04:46
I'm going to balance the coverage.
1:04:48
Over the past eight years, I have been
1:04:50
tested and challenged more than any president in
1:04:53
our 250-year history, and I've learned a
1:04:57
lot along the way.
1:04:58
The journey to reclaim our republic has not
1:05:03
been an easy one, that I can tell
1:05:05
you.
1:05:06
Those who wish to stop our cause have
1:05:09
tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to
1:05:13
take my life.
1:05:15
Just a few months ago, in a beautiful
1:05:17
Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my
1:05:20
ear.
1:05:22
But I felt then, and believe even more
1:05:25
so now, that my life was saved for
1:05:28
a reason.
1:05:29
I was saved by God to make America
1:05:32
great again.
1:05:33
Yeah, baby.
1:05:36
Everybody in the hill country was texting.
1:05:38
We all loved it.
1:05:40
It was fantastic.
1:05:41
But now I will balance the balance with
1:05:45
what happened at the prayer breakfast, which was
1:05:48
very odd.
1:05:50
A national prayer service is routine after an
1:05:53
American president is inaugurated.
1:05:54
Less routine, though, is for a bishop to
1:05:57
address the new leader directly and make an
1:05:59
appeal.
1:06:01
Was this the prayer breakfast?
1:06:02
I thought this was actually the church service.
1:06:05
No, the church service was before the inauguration.
1:06:10
We're talking about the crazy bishop with the
1:06:14
purple outfit.
1:06:15
Yes, that's the one.
1:06:16
Yes, so this was...
1:06:17
Oh, I thought this was at the church
1:06:19
service, per se.
1:06:19
No, no, no.
1:06:20
This was the day after.
1:06:21
And by the way, Joe Rogan was at
1:06:23
the church service, too.
1:06:25
Who was he now?
1:06:26
What did he think of this performance by
1:06:29
this woman?
1:06:29
I will...
1:06:30
And by the way...
1:06:31
He wasn't at this one.
1:06:32
He was at the service before the inauguration.
1:06:35
This came after the inauguration.
1:06:37
This is the next day.
1:06:38
This is the next day with this...
1:06:40
I thought it was at church because they're
1:06:43
all seated next to each other.
1:06:45
It doesn't look like a breakfast.
1:06:46
There's no tables.
1:06:48
Can you take my word for it?
1:06:50
Well, no.
1:06:51
I mean, I could...
1:06:52
The woman said it was a prayer breakfast,
1:06:55
too.
1:06:55
Prayer...
1:06:56
Yes.
1:06:57
Prayer service.
1:06:58
Yeah.
1:06:59
You get a little wafer.
1:07:02
That's breakfast.
1:07:03
Enjoy.
1:07:05
Whatever the case, I will say this.
1:07:08
This woman who gave this lecture, and this
1:07:12
is not even a sermon by any means...
1:07:14
Can we play the clip?
1:07:14
...went on the circuit.
1:07:15
She was on CNN and Rachel and The
1:07:18
View and everything afterwards.
1:07:20
This was a setup.
1:07:23
Okay, Sherlock.
1:07:24
Yes, it was a setup.
1:07:26
...is for a bishop to address the new
1:07:29
leader directly and make an appeal.
1:07:31
On Tuesday, Marianne Budd urged Donald Trump to
1:07:34
show mercy, specifically mentioning gay, lesbian and transgender
1:07:38
children who fear for their lives, as well
1:07:41
as immigrants who are not criminals but pay
1:07:43
taxes and are good neighbors.
1:07:45
I didn't actually hear any of those TikTok
1:07:47
clips of the kids saying that they feared
1:07:49
for their lives, so that may be a
1:07:52
bit specious.
1:07:53
I ask you to have mercy upon the
1:07:55
people in our country who are scared now.
1:07:59
Our God teaches us that we are to
1:08:01
be merciful to the stranger, for we will
1:08:04
all want strangers in this land.
1:08:07
The president did not appear happy during the
1:08:10
remarks.
1:08:11
We may not be citizens.
1:08:12
And when asked for a reaction later, he
1:08:15
was dismissal of the service.
1:08:16
Not too exciting, was it?
1:08:19
I did think it was a good service,
1:08:21
though.
1:08:21
Thank you very much.
1:08:23
Thank you, press.
1:08:23
Thank you, press.
1:08:24
They can do much better.
1:08:26
Later, on his Truth Social platform, the president
1:08:28
called Budd a radical left hardline Trump hater
1:08:32
and said she and the church owed the
1:08:34
public an apology.
1:08:35
The bishop's comments came after Trump on Monday
1:08:37
decreed that only two sexes, male and female,
1:08:41
but not transgender, would be recognized.
1:08:43
He also issued measures to suspend the arrival
1:08:46
of asylum seekers and expel migrants in the
1:08:48
country illegally.
1:08:50
Budd has criticized Trump in the past, including
1:08:52
in 2020, when police officers forcibly removed peaceful
1:08:56
racial justice protesters so that Trump could take
1:08:59
a photo outside a church holding a Bible.
1:09:02
Budd said she was horrified by his use
1:09:04
of the holy book for political purposes.
1:09:07
And meanwhile, what?
1:09:10
That was kind of...
1:09:11
So she goes on for political purposes and
1:09:13
gives a speech, but it's not OK for
1:09:16
him.
1:09:16
I encourage anyone who's interested to go look
1:09:20
at the Jamestown Compact, the Mayflower Compact.
1:09:24
We came to this country based upon the
1:09:28
Bible, the whole constitution, you know, the Declaration
1:09:31
of Independence.
1:09:32
God is mentioned four times.
1:09:34
It's all been forgotten.
1:09:35
But for this lady to come out and
1:09:37
do that, that was quite disgraceful.
1:09:39
It was just lame.
1:09:41
And then Trump doubles down later, which this
1:09:43
was kind of funny, I thought.
1:09:44
I always say tariffs is the most beautiful
1:09:46
word to me in the dictionary.
1:09:48
Then I was reprimanded by the fake news.
1:09:50
They said, what about love, religion and God?
1:09:54
I said, I agree.
1:09:55
Let's put God number one.
1:09:57
Let's put religion number two.
1:10:02
Love, I don't know.
1:10:03
I got to put that number three, I
1:10:05
guess, right?
1:10:06
And then it's tariff.
1:10:10
I mean, this is sacrilegious.
1:10:15
So it was hilarious.
1:10:18
So I do have one more gay related
1:10:21
thing.
1:10:22
This is an angry lesbian.
1:10:24
Oh, goodness.
1:10:25
But we've played these clips before about the
1:10:28
lesbians who hate the...
1:10:30
There's TERFs, which is a term that we've
1:10:33
seemed to have lost, which is the TERF.
1:10:36
What does it stand for again, TERF?
1:10:38
We both read the Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
1:10:41
There you go, TERF.
1:10:42
Yes, yes.
1:10:43
And so these are women that are lesbians,
1:10:46
specifically, that hate these trans women, which is
1:10:51
ironic in some funny way, because some of
1:10:54
them, it's just screwy.
1:10:55
But listen to this.
1:10:57
I guess yesterday or the day before was
1:10:59
Coming Out Day, one of these, you know...
1:11:01
Oh, I missed it.
1:11:03
Yeah, you did.
1:11:04
You could have come out, but you didn't.
1:11:05
No, no one asked me to help them
1:11:07
come out.
1:11:07
So here we go with Coming Out Day
1:11:09
and the irked lesbian.
1:11:11
Uh, where...
1:11:13
I don't see Coming Out Day.
1:11:15
It should be Talk Coming Out.
1:11:16
Oh, I'm sorry.
1:11:17
I'm sorry.
1:11:18
Talk, yes.
1:11:18
Apparently it's National Coming Out Day, so I
1:11:20
wanted to take this opportunity to encourage some
1:11:22
of you to go back into the closet.
1:11:23
Not everyone, not everyone, just you weird ones
1:11:25
who are ruining it for the rest of
1:11:26
us.
1:11:27
If you think Drag Queen Story Hour is
1:11:28
a good idea, back in the closet.
1:11:30
If you think transitioning minors is okay, back
1:11:33
in the closet.
1:11:33
If you think that teachers should have pride
1:11:35
flags in their classrooms, back in the closet.
1:11:37
And especially you guys who act out all
1:11:40
your weird stuff in public, get back in
1:11:42
the closet.
1:11:43
Just go.
1:11:43
Just get back in there.
1:11:45
Wow.
1:11:47
Yeah, I saw pictures.
1:11:50
There were two women standing outside the Capitol
1:11:53
who had a sign.
1:11:55
It's like, we're Trump voters.
1:11:58
We're lesbians, not stupid.
1:12:02
Yes, exactly.
1:12:04
Exactly.
1:12:04
Calm down, everybody.
1:12:06
But I think your point is well made,
1:12:08
that this is a honeypot.
1:12:11
It's important.
1:12:12
I think it's important that this definition was
1:12:15
at least put on paper.
1:12:16
I mean, it's an executive order, so it's
1:12:18
the policy of the US government.
1:12:21
It can be reversed eventually.
1:12:24
But to make it a honeypot, and which
1:12:26
worked.
1:12:27
I have to find clips of the bishop
1:12:30
going on all the shows and talking about
1:12:33
it.
1:12:33
I'm surprised you didn't get anything for me.
1:12:35
That would have been good.
1:12:36
I missed that.
1:12:38
I actually thought you'd get that.
1:12:39
Oh, no.
1:12:40
I completely missed it.
1:12:40
You did get the one bishop that'd be...
1:12:42
I completely missed it.
1:12:42
Yeah, she was on The View.
1:12:44
You can get that.
1:12:45
That was, I think, probably the day after.
1:12:47
I missed it.
1:12:47
And she was on CNN on a couple
1:12:49
of different shows.
1:12:50
Oh, she was on The View?
1:12:51
Oh, man.
1:12:52
Oh.
1:12:52
By remote, by the way, which is really
1:12:55
lame.
1:12:55
So let me run these couple DEI clips
1:12:58
here.
1:12:59
Because this is what really has...
1:13:00
I mean, I'm getting texts from all over.
1:13:04
People saying, oh my God, look at this.
1:13:05
Look at this thing that I've got where
1:13:07
we have to immediately remove any DEI programs,
1:13:11
which oddly are called DEIA.
1:13:14
I'm not sure what DEI is.
1:13:16
But that was DEI, yes, DEIA for...
1:13:20
What is that?
1:13:21
...sperming or something.
1:13:22
Oh.
1:13:22
And it was a joke that somebody made.
1:13:24
It should be D-E-I-A-A
1:13:26
-A.
1:13:27
And that way you lose your job, but
1:13:29
you get roadside service.
1:13:31
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered federal
1:13:34
employees hired under so-called diversity, equity, and
1:13:37
inclusion programs to be placed on paid leave,
1:13:40
while the agencies that employ them draw up
1:13:43
plans for their firing.
1:13:44
This order meant to be fulfilled by 5
1:13:47
p.m. local time on Wednesday evening.
1:13:50
And after that deadline has passed, people were
1:13:53
encouraged to snitch on colleagues who had defied
1:13:56
orders and tried to disguise programs in government
1:13:59
agencies that were related to so-called DEI.
1:14:02
Well, this then is a dramatic escalation.
1:14:05
It was designed, these programs, the DEI programs,
1:14:08
to reverse years of systemic inequities and to
1:14:11
make the U.S. government look more like
1:14:13
the U.S. population.
1:14:15
But a U.S. government message sent to
1:14:18
the U.S. agencies says that the programs
1:14:20
have, quote, divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer
1:14:24
dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.
1:14:27
Well, Donald Trump says that he wants to
1:14:29
scrap these programs to create a so-called
1:14:31
colorblind and merit-based society.
1:14:35
But some people have criticized Donald Trump's movement,
1:14:38
calling it just a smokescreen to fire civil
1:14:41
servants.
1:14:42
Well, not entirely true, because he specifically wrote
1:14:46
an executive order to the FAA, which is
1:14:49
a huge deal for all the flyboys I
1:14:51
know, especially the Navy guys, because they could
1:14:54
not get an airline job coming out of
1:14:57
the Navy with tremendous experience.
1:15:00
Now, if you're not gay or black, or
1:15:02
preferably both, or a woman, then you just
1:15:05
could not get a job.
1:15:07
They're all flying DHL and FedEx.
1:15:08
They just can't get any other job.
1:15:11
And President Trump specifically had an order for
1:15:14
the FAA, and he said, you know, you're
1:15:16
making our air travel dangerous.
1:15:21
Yeah, I agree with this.
1:15:22
Oh, of course.
1:15:23
Here's the CBS version.
1:15:25
President Trump's order to end diversity, equity, and
1:15:30
inclusion programs, or DEI, across government are now
1:15:34
having real world consequences for federal workers.
1:15:37
Get radical left, woke ideologies the hell out
1:15:42
of our military and out of our government.
1:15:44
In a memo first obtained by CBS News,
1:15:47
the administration directed federal agencies to place all
1:15:51
employees working in DEI roles on administrative leave
1:15:55
by 5 p.m. today.
1:15:57
Several federal workers in those programs told CBS
1:16:00
News today they were reluctant to share their
1:16:03
views publicly.
1:16:04
I spoke to some outstanding career public servants
1:16:07
this morning who are all terrified.
1:16:10
Jonathan Lovitz worked in DEI programs for the
1:16:13
Commerce Department in the Biden administration.
1:16:16
How might the average person at home, the
1:16:19
taxpayer, be impacted by these cuts?
1:16:23
By your plane falling out of the sky.
1:16:25
Programs like this are designed to make sure
1:16:28
every American is represented when we are making
1:16:32
policy in the federal government.
1:16:34
And now I'm so worried for so many
1:16:36
communities who are now going to lose a
1:16:39
voice at the table.
1:16:40
Just 34% of Americans in our CBS
1:16:43
News poll said Trump should end DEI programs,
1:16:47
but 64% of his supporters back the
1:16:50
move.
1:16:51
Trump is also encouraging the private sector to
1:16:53
eliminate diversity initiatives following McDonald's, Meta, and other
1:16:58
big companies that have already rolled them back.
1:17:01
Well, this is good because it's been so
1:17:04
annoying for so long.
1:17:07
I have the NPR version.
1:17:09
Oh, OK.
1:17:10
Hold on a second.
1:17:11
Trump, DEI, and hilarity.
1:17:15
As of right now, the White House Office
1:17:17
of Personnel Management has put all federal government
1:17:19
employees who work in diversity, equity, and inclusion
1:17:22
on administrative leave as President Trump moves to
1:17:26
get rid of DEI initiatives in the federal
1:17:29
government.
1:17:30
The OPM directed all DEI offices to be
1:17:32
shut down.
1:17:33
Pennsylvania Congressman Chris DiLuzio called out House Republicans
1:17:36
for focusing more on canceling DEI programs and
1:17:39
increasing corporate profits over the needs of Americans.
1:17:42
We're in the third week of the Republican
1:17:43
majority in the House and the Senate, this
1:17:45
Congress.
1:17:46
They've done nothing.
1:17:49
They've done nothing.
1:17:50
They cut him off there.
1:17:51
He was going to say something else.
1:17:53
Oh, yeah, I can't have that.
1:17:54
I'll play one clip which may come across
1:17:56
as very racist, but that's not the intent.
1:18:00
It is just to show what you get
1:18:03
with DEI hires.
1:18:06
The city of Philadelphia.
1:18:08
I'm sure you've heard the city.
1:18:10
You know, this was in my mind.
1:18:14
This was like the eclipse of the bishop.
1:18:16
I'm thinking, well, I wonder if Adam will.
1:18:18
I'm going to clip this.
1:18:20
This is the mayor of Philadelphia.
1:18:22
E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles!
1:18:28
Let's go, birds!
1:18:31
Yes, everybody.
1:18:33
This was on every Fox News show.
1:18:36
It was everywhere.
1:18:37
Yes, everywhere.
1:18:38
This woman can't spell eagle.
1:18:40
She spells it E-S-L-E something
1:18:42
or other.
1:18:43
It was very unfortunate for her.
1:18:45
Very, very unfortunate.
1:18:46
Very unfortunate.
1:18:49
Racist.
1:18:49
Yes, I don't want to, but you know,
1:18:53
this was already building up with the Moe
1:18:56
prophecy where all of the black women who
1:18:58
were supposed to take Trump down failed, all
1:19:01
of them.
1:19:01
And I haven't really seen the blame yet
1:19:03
go that way, but I feel it's coming.
1:19:05
Yeah, I've heard this from him too, and
1:19:07
it's like, I think it's a very interesting
1:19:09
theory because there was a lot of black
1:19:11
women that was put in positions all over
1:19:14
the place.
1:19:14
And most of them were incompetent, corrupt, screw
1:19:18
-ups and everything in between.
1:19:20
They just couldn't do it.
1:19:22
And then you had the Letitia James and
1:19:24
the Fannie who couldn't, you know, get this
1:19:26
guy out of the sack.
1:19:28
And just one thing after another, it was
1:19:30
almost like it was set up to fail.
1:19:32
They haven't blamed it on them yet, but
1:19:34
I'm feeling an undercurrent.
1:19:38
Now, to another, this was in a way
1:19:42
a bad take.
1:19:43
Here, let's listen to this clip.
1:19:44
Just one day into his new administration, President
1:19:47
Trump and his family are already cashing in
1:19:50
on the crypto craze.
1:19:52
Are you going to be investing in Trump's
1:19:54
Trump coin?
1:19:55
Trump launched his own cryptocurrency Friday night.
1:19:58
Now it's worth an estimated $8 billion on
1:20:01
paper.
1:20:02
First Lady Melania Trump's new crypto coin debuted
1:20:04
Sunday, briefly topping $1 billion too.
1:20:07
They're called meme coins, a type of cryptocurrency
1:20:10
where you bet on a popular trend or
1:20:12
personality.
1:20:13
You buy the coin online.
1:20:15
Its value can dramatically go up or down.
1:20:18
Trump's own website cautioning it's not intended to
1:20:21
be an investment opportunity.
1:20:23
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money that's
1:20:25
not backed or regulated by any government or
1:20:28
banks.
1:20:29
Ethics experts warn Trump's direct ownership of crypto
1:20:32
is unprecedented for a president.
1:20:35
We should not be willing to accept financial
1:20:38
conflicts of interest from our president, whether it's
1:20:41
in cryptocurrency, social media platforms or anything else.
1:20:46
The president in 2021 denounced cryptocurrencies.
1:20:50
Bitcoin just seems like a scam.
1:20:52
He has since accepted a flood of donations
1:20:55
from crypto companies who helped fund his re
1:20:57
-election campaign.
1:20:59
Trump also profits from a crypto venture called
1:21:01
World Liberty Financial he helped launch days before
1:21:04
the election.
1:21:05
It bought nearly $300 million in Bitcoin and
1:21:08
other coins Monday, just as Trump was getting
1:21:11
sworn in.
1:21:12
Bitcoin and crypto will skyrocket like never before.
1:21:17
Trump appointed a first ever crypto czar to
1:21:20
the White House, who now vows to take
1:21:22
a friendly approach toward regulation.
1:21:25
So Bitcoin has not skyrocketed to the moon
1:21:27
yet.
1:21:28
And I should point out that this meme
1:21:30
coin has $8 billion on paper.
1:21:33
I mean, this is it's really like it's
1:21:35
not $8 billion in his pocket.
1:21:37
No, it's on the open market.
1:21:39
It's just traded freely between people and somebody.
1:21:42
You may have somebody that doesn't that presumes
1:21:44
that there's $8 billion worth of buyers.
1:21:47
So they could say this is it's like
1:21:49
putting Trump on Trump's stakes.
1:21:50
It's really it's not an ICO.
1:21:53
It's a meme coin.
1:21:54
It's no better or worse than Doge.
1:21:56
It's just it's nonsense.
1:21:58
But a very bad take.
1:22:00
And I think it certainly hurt Bitcoin.
1:22:03
But the new guy he's putting in he
1:22:05
this is what the Bitcoin community is looking
1:22:09
at.
1:22:09
It's SAB 21.
1:22:11
The blockchain technology.
1:22:12
Oh, I'm sorry.
1:22:13
This is the Bank of America CEO.
1:22:15
The blockchain technology.
1:22:16
We've got a lot of patents on them.
1:22:17
Then there's a stable coin type of currency,
1:22:20
digital currency, and then there's the investment management
1:22:22
type of currency.
1:22:24
And I think the first one and the
1:22:25
second one, yes, that was hard.
1:22:27
What?
1:22:28
Why is the guy hyperventilating?
1:22:30
It's just how he sounds.
1:22:32
And I think the first one and the
1:22:33
second one, yes, the third one's hard because
1:22:35
it's really investment question and how it works.
1:22:38
The issue has been for the last 10
1:22:40
years is this has been talked about is
1:22:42
enabling legislation was never there for the main
1:22:45
people that participate.
1:22:48
So not only do we have issues with
1:22:49
supporting clients in the business, but we couldn't
1:22:52
really transact it because the AML and BSA
1:22:55
issues and all that stuff.
1:22:56
And also sort of where the money is
1:22:58
and who's holding it.
1:22:59
So I think if if you see enabling
1:23:01
legislation, I think you're going to see our
1:23:02
industry come at this hard.
1:23:03
It's just another form of payment backed by
1:23:05
dollars and treasuries and things like that.
1:23:08
So what he's talking about is staff accounting
1:23:11
bulletin, actually one twenty one, not twenty one,
1:23:13
one twenty one, which would allow banks to
1:23:16
put crypto assets, mainly Bitcoin, on their balance
1:23:22
sheets and not as a liability.
1:23:24
I think that's going to happen because then
1:23:26
they can get in the business of and
1:23:28
you heard it stable coins.
1:23:30
It's all it's all the same thing we've
1:23:32
talked about.
1:23:33
They want stable coins.
1:23:34
That's going to be the new American digital
1:23:37
dollar.
1:23:37
You can just count on it happening.
1:23:39
And Trump has not done anything yet in
1:23:42
that regard, but he did toss the Bitcoin
1:23:44
community a little bone.
1:23:45
For me on day one, I will commute
1:23:48
the sentence of Ross Ulbricht.
1:23:53
He's already served 11 years, we're going to
1:23:57
get him home.
1:23:58
That was then candidate Donald Trump making a
1:24:01
campaign promised at the Libertarian Party National Convention
1:24:04
to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
1:24:08
In 2011, Ulbricht set up his website on
1:24:11
the dark web.
1:24:12
It was called Silk Road.
1:24:13
It became a hub for people to sell
1:24:15
lots of things, among them drugs, weapons and,
1:24:19
believe it or not, murder for hire services.
1:24:22
Now Ulbricht didn't do any of those things.
1:24:24
He just provided the place on the Web
1:24:26
in which those transactions, often almost exclusively paid
1:24:30
for in cryptocurrency, could be transacted.
1:24:33
And in 2015, he received two life sentences,
1:24:37
which many in that Libertarian Party convention you
1:24:39
just saw thought was excessive.
1:24:41
The FBI once referred to Silk Road as,
1:24:44
quote, the most sophisticated and extensive criminal marketplace
1:24:48
on the Internet.
1:24:50
So it was more than righteous that Ross
1:24:54
Ulbricht got out because there were corrupt DEA
1:24:59
agents, FBI agents.
1:25:01
Oh, no, the whole thing, if you look
1:25:02
into it, is really bad.
1:25:04
But it was funny because as I'm thinking
1:25:06
back and I went back and looked at
1:25:08
it, do you remember that this first came
1:25:10
out and we're like, what is this Silk
1:25:11
Road?
1:25:11
And then I started to look into it.
1:25:13
You bought stuff from him.
1:25:14
I did.
1:25:15
Can you believe?
1:25:15
I think you put a couple of hits
1:25:17
out on some other podcasters and what else
1:25:20
would you get?
1:25:20
It's worse than that.
1:25:21
It's worse than that.
1:25:23
I went back and I looked and this
1:25:25
is going to, this is cringe, cringeworthy.
1:25:29
I bought a dime bag of drugs on
1:25:33
Silk Road for six Bitcoin.
1:25:38
Exactly.
1:25:39
That's how I felt.
1:25:42
Wow.
1:25:43
Yeah.
1:25:43
Yeah.
1:25:44
Wow.
1:25:44
I was right.
1:25:45
What did we know?
1:25:47
It was the new money.
1:25:48
It was the dark web.
1:25:49
I didn't.
1:25:50
It was the dark web.
1:25:52
We didn't know.
1:25:52
You just forgot the six bitcoins.
1:25:55
You could be fine.
1:25:56
You've been nice, but OK.
1:25:58
I have a couple of pardon clips from
1:26:00
Trump.
1:26:00
This is from NPR and this is Trump.
1:26:03
By the way, I want people to know
1:26:04
I did that for the show, OK?
1:26:07
For the show.
1:26:09
$600,000 I lost for the show.
1:26:12
For a dime bag.
1:26:13
For a $10 bag of weed or whatever
1:26:16
you bought.
1:26:18
I remember it came through the mail too.
1:26:21
It was the funniest thing.
1:26:21
And there was no, you didn't get delivered
1:26:23
by a hooker or anything, even a lap
1:26:25
dance.
1:26:26
I mean, come on.
1:26:27
No, I didn't get anything.
1:26:28
Nothing good out of it.
1:26:29
And it wasn't even all that good.
1:26:30
It was stems and seeds.
1:26:33
Horrible.
1:26:34
So you got gypped.
1:26:34
I got gypped.
1:26:36
For the show, man.
1:26:37
It's a service we provide to the show.
1:26:39
Well, we'll never make that one up.
1:26:41
No, I don't think so.
1:26:43
No.
1:26:44
Trump pardons one guy.
1:26:48
Yes.
1:26:49
Is this a clip?
1:26:51
Yeah.
1:26:53
Trump.
1:26:54
Where is it?
1:26:55
Oh, sorry.
1:26:56
I got it here.
1:26:57
On Monday, President Trump gave full, complete and
1:27:00
unconditional pardons to all of the people charged
1:27:03
in connection with the deadly January 6th, 2021
1:27:06
attack on the Capitol.
1:27:08
As NPR's Tom Dreisbach reports, one of the
1:27:10
men Trump freed has already been re-arrested
1:27:14
on gun charges.
1:27:14
During the January 6th attack on the Capitol,
1:27:17
Daniel Ball allegedly threw an explosive device which
1:27:20
ricocheted off a police officer's helmet and exploded,
1:27:23
causing multiple injuries.
1:27:25
Later, he allegedly threw a piece of wood
1:27:27
at police officers protecting the Capitol.
1:27:29
His case was pending when Trump ordered Ball
1:27:32
freed as part of his blanket clemency for
1:27:34
January 6th defendants.
1:27:36
But then Ball was re-arrested on unrelated
1:27:39
charges.
1:27:40
Federal prosecutors in Florida say he illegally possessed
1:27:43
a gun, even though he had a criminal
1:27:45
record for multiple felonies, including domestic violence battery
1:27:49
by strangulation and resisting law enforcement by violence.
1:27:55
Well, this guy's got other issues.
1:27:57
So he throws a cherry bomb and it
1:28:00
bounces off somebody's helmet, but it's an explosive
1:28:04
device.
1:28:05
I'll tell you, J6er, Jenny was happy.
1:28:07
She got her pardon.
1:28:09
Good.
1:28:09
Yeah.
1:28:11
Trump promised to do this and now everybody's
1:28:13
bent out of shape that he did it.
1:28:14
It was part of his campaign.
1:28:16
Hello?
1:28:17
They need something to talk about.
1:28:19
This is what's so disappointing.
1:28:20
Our media is obsessing over this stuff.
1:28:24
Here's a Trump pardon too.
1:28:28
And those pardons have police organizations criticizing President
1:28:32
Trump saying they set a dangerous precedent.
1:28:35
That includes the International Association of Chiefs of
1:28:38
Police and the Fraternal Order of Police, which
1:28:41
is the biggest police union in the US.
1:28:44
Meanwhile, House Democrats are scheduled to hold a
1:28:46
meeting this hour with former Capitol Police officers
1:28:48
over Trump's pardons.
1:28:51
I thought the cops all endorsed Trump.
1:28:53
They did.
1:28:54
This is something phony about this report.
1:28:57
I mean, I'd like to hear from, we
1:28:58
have police that listen to this show.
1:28:59
Let's hear from them.
1:29:01
I mean, these guys were in jail long
1:29:03
enough and, you know, I've heard from people,
1:29:06
oh, you know, they heard of police, but
1:29:07
they were in jail longer than the guys
1:29:09
in New York who punch out and kick
1:29:10
cops.
1:29:11
Well, that's for sure.
1:29:12
I mean, give me a break.
1:29:13
I'm sure you saw the CNN appearance of
1:29:17
one of these cops.
1:29:18
Oh, and by the way, where are the
1:29:19
police department, where are these associations with Biden
1:29:22
pardoning his family and Fauci?
1:29:26
Where are they?
1:29:28
And Schiff, who President Trump called a scumbag
1:29:31
from the Oval Office.
1:29:32
That was pretty, that was pretty interesting, that
1:29:34
scumbag Schiff.
1:29:35
Listen to this.
1:29:36
This is not safe for work.
1:29:38
I believe we have sound from the Oath
1:29:40
Keepers leader, Stuart Rhodes, who spoke after he
1:29:44
was released from prison.
1:29:46
