1:35
AI. Oh, well, there's another one at the end of
1:39
show, but it was three minutes long. I'm like, no,
1:42
that's too long. I can't be playing. I'm a producer.
1:45
I know what the people want. You're a producer. Not
1:48
anymore. Not really. Yes, you are. I'm a producer of
1:52
the No Agenda show. Yeah, I mean, you're texting me
1:55
like, I got a lot of clips. We're going to
1:58
play them all. I'm like, no, you're not producing this
2:01
show. You don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, you
2:03
said, who's the producer of the show? I said, everyone.
2:07
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, to some degree. So Dana Brunetti, everybody,
2:11
big former Hollywood bigwig, but actually he's the biggest Hollywood
2:15
guy because he left at the pinnacle of his career.
2:19
Everybody's jealous. Everybody's still sucking up to Harvey Weinstein like,
2:22
oh, man, Brunetti did the right thing. He took the
2:24
money and got out. House of Cards. Fifty Shades of
2:37
Grey, Fifty Shades of Grey, the Fifty Shades of All
2:40
the Grey, Captain Phillips, Social Network, all massive hits. And
2:47
here he is on our No Agenda show. Do you
2:49
have no life is the question. Not really. No. That's
2:56
about all he's going to talk tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
2:59
He's just going to give me one-word answers. Yeah, I
3:04
don't want to be too long-winded. A troll room will
3:07
go off. No, no, you need to ignore the troll
3:09
room. Okay. I know, I know. I'm kidding. Hold on
3:12
a second. So you're like an ex- an ex-aficionado. I
3:18
see you show up in my algo all the time.
3:22
I show up in your timeline for what? Or algo
3:26
for what? You're posting. That's why you're posting all the
3:29
time. You got an opinion on this. And then the
3:32
troll's like, you're awesome. You're like, yeah, I am. Duh.
3:37
Do I say that? I love the trolls who somehow
3:43
think that these guest hosts are auditioning. They're like, well,
3:47
Brunetti's got to be the permanent guest host. Do people
3:51
not realize that all these people have lives and jobs?
3:57
I don't. Well – You do. But I also I
4:00
find it hilarious that I saw somebody wrote that it's
4:05
kind of like Jeopardy. We're auditioning different hosts between me
4:11
and Calacanis and and Rob do. And then I J.
4:16
Cal, I heard him on the last the last episode.
4:19
Yeah. Talking about how he likes the competition and he
4:22
just wants to be number one. I know. He's not
4:26
going to be number one of anything. I think me
4:30
and Rob, me and Rob do should team up and
4:33
take him. Another thing he was talking about, which I
4:35
was surprised about, that you didn't know what the 12
4:38
stations of the cross were. I did not. I had
4:40
no idea. Now, why do you know? I was raised
4:43
Catholic. real oh there's still hope for you we can
4:46
still bring you back we can bring you back here
4:48
we go yeah we can bring you back baby yeah
4:51
it's in your heart it's in your heart no no
4:53
not being raised catholic does not have anything it repelled
4:56
you nothing against the catholics but you're still a brother
5:00
in christ you at one point you were there you
5:02
just strayed you are the prodigal son i was I
5:06
was there because I was forced to go to church
5:08
every Sunday by my father. And as soon as I
5:11
was old enough to not have to go, I stopped
5:14
going. Yeah, no, I understand. But in today's church, Dana,
5:18
we got cool music. We got relatable sermons. It's a
5:22
whole different deal. Look, come visit us. And I'll do
5:25
two things. One, you bring Alex, do two things. One.
5:29
No, that ain't happening. What do you mean? Alex can
5:32
hang out with Tina. What do you mean that ain't
5:34
happening? Okay. No, no. I thought you meant her going
5:37
to church. Okay, we'll see. So the first thing we'll
5:41
do is you and I will go to Ox Ranch.
5:44
Have you ever heard of Ox Ranch? Okay. I know,
5:47
but I feel like you're going to tell me. Yeah,
5:48
yeah. Bring your credit card at Ox Ranch. And they
5:52
have their own their own airstrip. So we'll get we'll
5:54
get Mitch, my periodontist to fly. I can just come
5:57
in on the jet. Yeah, sure. OK, so once you've
6:00
driven here in your Tesla and stopped eight times to
6:04
recharge. So Ox Ranch, you can rent. Because I can
6:09
drive all the way there and I have to stop
6:11
to refuel. Exactly. You can shoot a tank. You can
6:16
shoot. Oh, yeah. I've heard of this place. Yeah, yeah,
6:19
yeah. I mean, I've shot Uzis and... Tommy guns and
6:24
it's all full automatic. No nonsense. You will you will
6:27
have the flamethrower. I need a picture of you with
6:30
a flamethrower. I think I have one. I actually have
6:33
done something similar, but I did it where it wasn't
6:37
like a touristy type thing. When I was doing Captain
6:39
Phillips, we used. We. Real Navy SEALs. And when we
6:43
were in Virginia Beach shooting there, which is very close
6:46
to the old Blackwater facility, which is at the time
6:49
was called Academy. I don't know what it's called now,
6:53
but I got to go to the facility. It's called
6:55
Z now, isn't it? Well, I think it was Academy.
6:59
It was Z. And then I think they change the
7:01
name quite often. Anyways, a couple of my buddies were
7:05
Plink and I'm friendly with Eric Prince as well. So
7:10
I got to go there and do all those things
7:13
and more. Well, okay. So then. So what else you
7:17
got? And then we'll go to church on Sunday morning.
7:21
You'll have a blast. It'll be fun. I know. You'll
7:24
come. So you, once, now you are, we are so
7:30
similar in so many ways, which is kind of interesting,
7:33
except for, you know. You were successful, and I always
7:36
remained a VJ. I think you owned a castle and
7:40
a couple helicopters and blew through millions of dollars. It's
7:44
all fleeting. I think I might have just been better
7:47
with the management of my money. It's all fleeting, Dana.
7:50
It's all fleeting. You can't take it with you. I'm
7:53
telling you. You can't take it with me. Oh, I
7:53
know that. So… By the way, can we bleep this
7:58
out so my wife doesn't hear this? Because she'll use
8:01
that all the time. She can't take it with you.
8:03
There's no editing. There's no editing on no agenda. We
8:07
don't bleep anything out. There's plenty of editing. No, there's
8:10
never. What are you talking about? I know. I know.
8:14
I'm just rowing you up. I've had a lot of
8:16
coffee, so I might get a little rambunctious. That's good.
8:19
So. We're both nerds. We're both way into programming our
8:24
robots. And I haven't listened to your clips, obviously, but
8:27
clearly you have a robot working for you because you
8:30
brought a lot of clips. But this is an interesting
8:33
day to have you on the show because – Most
8:37
people don't really care about this, I think. Maybe California
8:41
cares about it. I'm sure the Hollywood movie people, they
8:47
care about it. And the liberals really care about it.
8:55
Well, interesting. So this is the mega merger between Warner
9:00
Brothers and Paramount. And I think the reason liberals, as
9:05
you call them, might just call them Democrats, they. What's
9:10
the difference? You know, they really hate. the whole Ellison
9:16
family. And that's probably the main reason. And why do
9:20
they hate them? A couple of reasons. One, Larry Ellison
9:25
is... He's rich. He's super rich. He's friends with Trump.
9:31
He's in the data business. I actually think he's an
9:35
incredible douche for when the Stargate program was announced. And
9:40
he's like, oh, everyone's going to be on their best
9:42
behavior because the drones will watch you. I was like,
9:45
okay, you're a douchebag. And he's a huge supporter of
9:48
Israel. So that's like five strikes. You're out. So they
9:51
hate him for that. You want to hear an interesting
9:55
tidbit from my wife's stepfather, Larry Ellison, bought his island
10:02
from him. Wait a minute. So Alex is the one
10:05
with the money. This is interesting. Now we're getting to
10:09
the bottom of things. I said her stepfather. Okay. Yeah,
10:15
so she doesn't have it, and he doesn't have it
10:17
anymore now because he's dead, and then he left it
10:20
all to some foundation. Oh, that's what I'm going to
10:22
do. I keep telling our daughters. I'm like, we're on
10:25
operations. You should. We're on operations spend down. Yeah. You
10:28
know, you're going to have this house and good luck
10:30
with the taxes and the inheritance. You're going to leave
10:32
them just a tax bill. That's what I got. My
10:36
dad had a couple of loans like, yeah, no, I'm
10:38
not going to take that. Thank you very much. So
10:42
give us the layout. Why is this such a big
10:45
deal? Why? Why? Well, you come from the business. I
10:50
think you saw I have my thoughts about it. We'll
10:52
get to it. I also have clips, but I'm going
10:55
to let you drive this segment because I think it
10:58
is there is something important going on here from for
11:02
a number of reasons. But I want to hear your
11:04
take and I'm going to let you drive it. Okay.
11:07
I'm taking a wheel and putting it into full self-driving.
11:12
So let me back up talking about these clips for
11:17
a second. One thing I've realized grabbing these clips is
11:22
this is a very difficult job because literally as I'm
11:26
clipping them, the news is changing in real time, obviously.
11:31
Yeah. And everything I clipped on one day is completely
11:35
irrelevant the next morning. And then everything I clipped yesterday
11:39
is kind of irrelevant this morning. So we're going to
11:42
kind of have to jump around a little bit. But
11:45
so the Paramount merger, I have mixed feelings on it,
11:50
but it's all pro merger. A good friend of mine,
11:54
he runs Warner Brothers, which is getting bought out, but
11:57
he also ran MGM and Amazon bought them out. And
12:00
then before that, he was at, I can't remember where,
12:04
oh, he was at Sony before that. Who is this
12:06
good friend? Do I put a name to him? Sure.
12:09
Mike DeLuca. Oh, okay. Yeah. And you also ran a
12:11
studio for like a week at one point. I ran
12:14
a bankrupt studio. Relativity? Yeah. I came in, uh, I
12:19
think it was its second bankruptcy and, uh, And supposedly
12:25
they had funding and it turned out that wasn't the
12:28
reality. And I ended up being there for a couple
12:30
of months and then bounced. But yeah, I was the
12:32
head of a studio for a very short period of
12:35
time. But just go back to, I didn't even think
12:39
of this, but if you just look at the two
12:41
studios, MGM, that was... That was bought by Amazon. Amazon.
12:46
Prior to that, it was bought by Sony. It's like
12:49
the... Let me ask some questions as we go along.
12:54
Why does anybody want to buy a studio? I presume
12:57
it's only for the existing content and intellectual property they
13:01
have for the catalog. Right. And that, in my mind,
13:03
these days is only valuable for streaming. Well, streaming and
13:09
the IP for remakes, which I'm not a fan of,
13:13
but the audience seems to be a fan of. Boring
13:15
stuff, right. And toys and Happy Meal toys and other
13:19
licensing. Yeah. If they're doing it, it's to make money
13:24
in some capacity or another, obviously. Yeah. What's beeping? I
13:30
don't hear anything taping. That's what's on your own getting
13:33
something. Yeah, okay That's your full self-drive about to crash
13:37
into something No, I said yeah I'm going I'm going
13:41
to do that if I do the show again I'm
13:43
gonna I'm going to do it from the car at
13:44
some point while you're driving while you're driving because I
13:47
don't get rid of the echo as well Yeah, it
13:48
will it's better than it was okay All right, let's
13:51
stay on track. So Amazon bought out MGM. That's this
13:55
one reason we're talking about. Disney bought out Marvel. Disney
13:59
bought out Fox. Um... All these studios, Warner Brothers has
14:03
bought out many in the past. They've all done different
14:07
mergers. Sony bought MGM at one time and a couple
14:09
of others. Sony bought Columbia Pictures. Was there ever, did
14:14
you even know about it? Was there ever like this
14:18
much pushback? Was there... But people like this protesting where
14:22
there were this 12 states suing to stop it. No,
14:25
no. OK, so fair point. That's because people hate Ellison.
14:29
But also they were I think David Ellison, the son,
14:32
was saying, well, I think I'm going to move to
14:35
Nashville. Well, that only started. Bonta came after him. He's
14:42
the attorney general in California? Correct. Yeah. And there was
14:46
all the pushback on it. So, look, I still think
14:50
that he's going to leave after the deal's done. I
14:54
think that he would be smart to do so. I
14:59
would hate him.
15:00
Because, you know, I still own property in L.A. and
15:02
live in the state and would be horrible for the
15:05
state. But the state is making it so difficult for
15:08
anybody. with a decent business that doesn't follow their same
15:11
political beliefs to survive here. I mean, it's happened with
15:17
Elon and with Tesla. You know, that's why he's in
15:19
Texas now and starting to build out there. He basically
15:21
packed up and left. They still manufacture and they have
15:24
– facilities here. And there's been a look at the
15:28
price of diesel in California. I know it's high all
15:31
over the country, but Newsom drove out the refineries and
15:35
just basically like, oh, yeah, I'm a caller. But it's
15:37
it's the place is so corrupt. It's so backwards that
15:42
for a studio. So if you think about it. And
15:46
so anything that they made previously, this is part of
15:48
why I'm still in California, but I'm in Northern California,
15:51
is because – When I decided I was going to
15:54
exit Hollywood, I started looking at Texas. I started looking
15:56
in Florida. I started looking in Arizona. I started looking
15:59
at places where the taxes are cheaper. My business manager,
16:02
I think I explained this the last time, explained to
16:05
me, hey, your taxes are going to follow you on
16:07
everything that you've already made because it originated in California.
16:12
So the same would be true for any studio, any
16:16
profits they get from films prior to their exit. That
16:22
would be it's still taxing. How is that? That sounds
16:26
un-American to me. That sounds odd. So all future earnings
16:31
of intellectual property, you have to pay taxes in California?
16:35
If it originated here. So like when I get my
16:38
checks for films that I've done in the past, they
16:42
still get taxed. So if I was living in Texas
16:45
next door to you and – I got my nice
16:49
check that I randomly get occasionally. We call mailbox money.
16:53
Yeah. It would still be taxed by California. Wow. Even
16:56
though I lived in – because it was – it
16:58
originated here in California. Now, if I was living in
17:02
California and we do the Adam Curry film – Yes.
17:05
And I'm already – sorry, already in Texas – And,
17:08
you know, the 50 cents we make on that, I
17:10
would have to, you know, that I'd get to keep
17:13
all of that. No, no, you have to give five
17:14
cents to my church. You don't understand. It's like. Also,
17:17
I'm taxed by the church rather than the state. You're
17:20
tithing, tithing, my brother. So, so it would be silly
17:24
for, and I think it would. It. If and when
17:29
Paramount leaves and goes either to Austin or to Nashville,
17:34
It would make complete sense because if you think that
17:37
if you have $100 million in profit on one film
17:40
and they're paying, what, 13% in tax to the state,
17:44
that's $13 million just on that one film that they're
17:46
saving. And then if you put that across all the
17:49
films and all the business that they're doing from that
17:52
point forward and how much they end up making on
17:55
that, that's a huge bit of money. And if Paramount
17:59
did that, I think it would create a waterfall of
18:01
all the studios starting being like, hey. What are we
18:05
doing? It's the same as production. And this drives me
18:08
crazy, too, where they say, well, if Paramount leaves and
18:12
goes to Tennessee or goes to Texas, all those people,
18:15
they're not going to get up and move to Tennessee
18:18
out into the sticks and move out there, these elitists
18:21
in L.A. and other places. Hello. Look at New Mexico's
18:27
film market. Look at Atlanta. Where did I shoot all
18:31
of Fifty Shades of Grey? Those all shot in Vancouver,
18:34
Canada. There's no monopoly on... Where you can do business
18:38
and much less where you can do film. L.A. does
18:42
not have the monopoly on it and L.A. blew it.
18:45
And I think that's part of what they're starting to
18:48
realize, like, oh, hey, we don't control the town. We
18:51
don't control this business. And it's it's it's I think
18:55
that's part of why they. have this resolution now, but
18:59
I think it's too little too late. You know, the
19:03
thing that surprised me when I heard Bonta speak, and
19:06
I'm going to just jump the queue here, is that
19:08
only 5%. of the movies are made in California. So
19:13
some more details about the settlement, the terms. With this
19:16
settlement, Paramount has made an enforceable commitment to significantly increase
19:21
domestic production. Production in the United States and necessarily production
19:27
right here in L.A., in Hollywood. More jobs, more economic
19:31
activity, better for workers, more output when it comes to
19:35
movies. Today we know that the vast majority of the
19:38
company's global production takes place abroad. And only a small
19:43
fraction, about 5% only, of the company's films are made
19:48
here in this country, in the United States. With today's
19:51
settlement, Paramount is required to move production back to the
19:54
United States by spending, as a floor, at least $300
19:57
million more each year in domestic production, in jobs and
20:00
economic activity, and productions right here in the United States.
20:03
in this country and including, of course, in this state.
20:07
The company will also produce 30 movies in each of
20:11
the first two years of the deal and then 32
20:15
movies in each of the following three years. So it
20:18
is tiered. 30 movies released in each of the first
20:23
two years, then 32 in the back three. At least
20:28
four of those films must be independent films to provide
20:31
more variety of perspectives, more storytelling, more original insight and
20:37
inspiration from our indie filmmakers. Original inspiration. And at least
20:41
20% of those must be blockbusters. That's the thing that
20:44
got me. Okay. 20% must be blockbusters. It has to
20:47
be. How can you predict the blockbusters? Like we have
20:50
clients that be like, I want to pay for a
20:52
viral video. Yeah, good luck. That's not how it works.
20:56
It just shows how – stupid they are they don't
21:00
understand what they're talking about it's like oh we have
21:02
to guarantee that it's a blockbuster well you can't guarantee
21:06
that's why it's called a blockbuster it's it's so asinine
21:10
but i it's like watching a circus i'm i'm loving
21:13
it and they're now there's these people that are protesting
21:17
outside of paramount and warner brothers trying to I don't
21:20
know if you saw this morning a judge has now
21:23
delayed it, but they now think that that's a huge
21:26
win. All it does is it gives them the ability
21:29
to be heard and they have to get their complaints
21:32
in by – I think it's 12 on Friday, 12
21:35
a.m. Friday. And then so the judge can read over
21:39
before she so she just doesn't rubber stamp it. But
21:42
I don't think it's going to stop it. And if
21:45
you want to play the Paramount merger protest just and
21:47
we can stop because it goes into a little bit
21:50
of what you just played. But at least you can
21:51
hear the first bit of these people whining outside. Outrage
21:55
online, as well as outside the Paramount Studio gates on
21:58
Melrose. I will never, ever work for these people. ever.
22:02
The target, David Ellison, the head of Paramount, who with
22:05
support from his tech giant father, Larry Ellison, muscled through
22:08
a settlement with the state of California over his purchase
22:12
of Warner Brothers Studios and the largest merger of mass
22:15
media from film, television, streaming, and news content in the
22:18
history of Hollywood. The terms of this settlement at this
22:22
moment in our nation's history will be extraordinarily damaging opponents
22:27
argue commitments by ellison for 30 films a year and
22:30
keeping the studios in california are temporary agreements that will
22:34
expire in five years and that the indebtedness of the
22:37
new company will guarantee job loss but the eager wasn't
22:41
just at the deal itself i personally We'll make it
22:46
my mission to make sure Gavin Newsom never becomes president.
22:51
Opponents of the merger say they feel betrayed. I am
22:54
deeply, deeply disappointed and pissed off at Rob Bonta, Gavin
22:59
Newsom, and Karen Bass. They're now turning on each other.
23:04
For caving and leaving us in the dust. I feel
23:08
duped. Because I really, truly believe in our Attorney General,
23:13
Rob Bonta. I drank the Kool-Aid. This was California Attorney
23:17
General Rob Bonta a month ago. Okay, you can stop
23:19
there. Okay. So that kind of goes into what you
23:21
already played. But at least they're having some self-realization that
23:24
they drink the Kool-Aid and that they were duped. And
23:27
maybe they'll start to wake up to some of the
23:28
other things that they've drank the Kool-Aid on and were
23:30
duped on. But let me ask you an overall question.
23:35
Does it even matter? I mean, yeah, I get it
23:38
for the IP and for the catalog, but the ship
23:41
is set on. Hold on. Let me pause you there
23:44
and come back to that because it doesn't matter. But
23:48
can we can we because I want to get it.
23:50
Are you going to I am? Well, that's we'll get
23:53
that. We'll get to that at the end. But I
23:55
mean, go. I mean, you've got Stelter. You've got Spike
23:58
Lee. You've got OK. You've got go ahead. Listen to
24:01
Stelter on this and tell me if he doesn't sound
24:03
a little bit nervous. Paramount and Warner now do expect
24:07
this $110 billion merger to take effect in early October.
24:12
I'm told this will not be done this week, but
24:15
it will be done in the next couple of weeks,
24:17
unless there's any surprises. No one's expecting that at this
24:20
point. So now that the state AGs have agreed to
24:22
settle, a judge will sign off on the settlement, and
24:25
then Paramount CEO David Ellison will take control of HBO,
24:28
Warner, CNN, and all those other assets, I'm told, in
24:32
early October. Yeah, and there's a couple things because it's
24:35
not just the movie studios. It's cable channels. It's cable
24:38
networks. I mean, there's a lot in this deal. And
24:41
none of that. None of that feels like the future
24:43
to me. And none of it. No, it doesn't. But
24:46
wait, it gets better. So the best news has come
24:48
out of this. Go ahead and play Kara. Yes. This
24:51
is my favorite. In any case, no, my contract, I
24:54
was just literally reading my contract today. Literally. As you
24:57
might imagine when this news struck, because I threatened to
25:00
leave, and I have asked my agent to get me
25:02
out of my contract. It ends December 31st, so it's
25:06
only a few months, right? Right. I just can't. Right.
25:11
I was trying to figure out ways I could work
25:13
with them in some licensing way, but then I thought...
25:16
fuck these guys. I don't want to watch them. I
25:18
just don't. I got too much to do with you,
25:20
Scott Galloway. I like... I'm a little... And it doesn't
25:23
matter. It doesn't matter to me. Let me give you
25:25
a little inside scoop here. Oh, he's the professor. I
25:28
think there's a decent likelihood when you show up to
25:30
whoever it is you show up to at CNN and
25:32
say, I want out of my contract, they jump up
25:34
and say, congratulations, no problem. No, not at all. You're
25:37
wrong. You're wrong. I know you think that. I know
25:39
you'd like to run me down. We'll miss you. Best
25:42
of luck. No. Maybe the Ellisons, that's for sure. But
25:46
not, no. No, they've been trying to keep me. Very
25:48
nicely. They're trying to keep me. Yeah, they want to
25:50
keep me. They need me. I'm important. I'm a ratings
25:54
bonanza. CNN is not a ratings bonanza. Okay. They're trying
25:59
to keep it. And what exactly is this contract? I
26:01
mean, a couple hundred grand maybe. It expires in December.
26:05
It's a couple months away. So it's like, please. Yeah.
26:08
Yeah. And this is a clip that I found. I
26:12
don't listen to him. I guess it's like a sports
26:13
guy, but Clay Travis. I think he sums it up
26:16
nicely, and it will. He took over for Rush Limbaugh
26:20
with the other guy, Clay, and there's two guys. So
26:24
he's a big radio guy. The 12 Democrat attorney generals
26:28
who had been opposing the merger between Paramount and Warner
26:32
Brothers have essentially announced, hey, We're giving up and they
26:37
have agreed that Paramount is able to buy now Warner
26:41
Brothers. Why does this matter? David Ellison, who is going
26:45
to own a combined Paramount and Warner Brothers, has said
26:48
something radical. Hey, I want CNN to just be a
26:52
middle of the road news network designed to actually cover
26:57
in a factual and truthful way. You can't have the
27:00
news. Hallelujah. This is significant. OK, Twitter being bought by
27:05
Elon Musk. I believe, was the most significant media move
27:11
of the 21st century. Because all it did was just
27:15
make Twitter fair. You can go find whatever news you
27:19
want on Twitter. You can see us talking about anything
27:21
under the sun. It just stopped it from being a
27:24
far left wing news organization. The reason why these 12
27:29
attorney generals were suing was because they didn't want CNN
27:33
to be a fair news organization because combined with Twitter.
27:37
And CNN and certainly Fox News and The Wall Street
27:41
Journal and The New York Post and Outkick and Sport
27:45
and State. If we just have a lot of sane
27:47
sports and cultural news organizations, it makes it far harder
27:53
to rig the game like MSNBC. The Washington Post, historically,
27:58
the New York Times and CNN have done. Yeah, maybe.
28:03
Yeah, well, only we care. They're message setters. That's about
28:07
it. They just set the message. They create clips that
28:10
we can share everywhere and either love it or laugh
28:12
at it. Right. And CBS News, you know, that's that's
28:17
a part of the deal. You know, that's already become
28:19
so horrible. I don't know. It's always been horrible. I
28:24
don't think it got any better with Barry Weiss. Well,
28:28
other than the Democrats hate it now. But so all
28:32
of that said, and I want to circle back to
28:36
that in a second about something he said there, but
28:38
finish up with where there's two more. Play the last
28:42
Bonta one, the antitrust. Oh, hold on a second. Antitrust.
28:46
Yes. At the end of the day, though, this was
28:49
an antitrust case. Plain and simple. I have said before,
28:54
I'll say it again. This is just a black and
28:56
white, meat and potatoes, antitrust case. Okay. That is such
29:03
BS. This was nothing but political. Everybody knows it. If
29:08
it was just an antitrust case, why did they resolve
29:12
it? Why did it get settled? Nothing is different. The
29:15
things that are in that resolution, 30 films a year,
29:18
That's nothing. Warner Brothers is already doing over 15 a
29:22
year, so is Paramount. And then they can also just
29:26
buy films, and they even pointed out independent films. So
29:29
they can go and buy the Adam Curry film that
29:31
we're going to do and give us $5 million for
29:34
it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we'll be like, yeah, there
29:36
we go, right? And then that's what we're going to
29:38
do. Don't move. Don't move. Stay in town. You got
29:41
to do some deals. Yes. Well, and that's kind of
29:44
thing. I'm not in town. I live in Northern California.
29:46
I'm very far away from that. Your car will drive
29:48
you there. But $300 million doesn't seem like a lot
29:53
of money in movie business. I mean, it's not scratch.
29:57
$300 million. I mean, there's been film budgets that have
29:59
been.
30:00
That high, I think. So it's – And the penalty,
30:05
if they don't meet that, it's $30 million per film.
30:08
So what they're going to do, it's actually, I think
30:10
it's great for smaller films because if they have to
30:14
do that, they're going to just buy up some films
30:16
to meet that. And they're not going to pay $30
30:18
million for them. They'll buy them for $1 million or
30:20
$2 million and be like, all right, let's go in
30:21
theaters and see what happens. Or this. I think that
30:23
people are looking at. Yeah. and get those in the
30:47
theaters to satisfy that requirement. Ultimately, Jeff, this is going
30:51
to result in a lot of layoffs in the entertainment
30:55
sector. And that's going to happen because... There's going to
30:58
be a lot of synergies between Warner Brothers Discovery and
31:01
Paramount. The back offices, people who support communications and publicity,
31:05
people who support HR jobs, legal jobs. Those jobs, I
31:09
would imagine, would be almost immediately consolidated, and you're going
31:13
to see a number of layoffs, and then it's going
31:16
to just continue. Yeah. Exactly. I think that's a horrible
31:20
argument that they keep using. Yeah, of course there's going
31:22
to be layoffs because it's a consolidation. But it's also
31:25
if the two studios are struggling, it's like, okay, so
31:29
we're going to have all these jobs, but the business
31:33
is going to struggle. The better the business can do,
31:36
the more jobs it's going to create, the more productions
31:39
it's going to… to put off. Then I think it's
31:42
just the survival of the fittest. In California, survival of
31:45
the fittest is racist. It's whatever. Everybody's got to be
31:53
equal and we can't have that But I'll end it
31:58
and then we'll kind of divert into. But again, the
32:02
wisest guy, just like when I was doing the Clacy
32:06
Lancey, the holdout juror, the wisest guy is always the
32:09
black guy. Play Spike Lee. But the Warner Brothers thing?
32:13
Yeah. I ain't got nothing to say about that. I
32:21
got to make some more movies. If you know what
32:24
I'm talking about. Yeah, that was... I know what he's
32:29
talking about. He's no dummy. He's like, yeah, I'm not
32:31
going to... be bitching about paramount ellison's and and basically
32:36
remove myself from uh one of the so they're they're
32:40
worried about you know they're only being four studios or
32:42
five studios whatever it is but like oh wait you
32:44
want to come work for us now and you were
32:46
the one out there protesting trying to stop this merger
32:49
yeah no thanks exactly spike lee's no dummy so we'll
32:52
i'll take it to the end This came from CNBC.
33:15
Tom is also senior advisor to our parent company, Versit
33:18
Media, and the former NBC cable president, friend of the
33:22
show as well. Friend of the show. Tom, always good
33:23
to see you. Thanks for having me. We've talked about
33:26
this movie before. We've shown clips. It's extraordinary. I don't
33:29
know if ordinary people would see it and think this
33:32
is AI generated. What have you found in the process
33:35
of doing this? though in terms of how the movie
33:38
industry will be changed by AI? Well, when I was
33:41
on last time, we showed a video from our first
33:45
film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival called Dreams
33:48
of Violence. This is a two and a half hour
33:51
spectacle, Odysseus the Fall, which is another way of telling
33:57
the story of the Odyssey. And what's remarkable about this
34:02
is that it was one guy with his computer working
34:06
at night for just under $25,000 that created this film.
34:12
I'm not saying anybody would like it quite as much
34:16
as the Nolan version of the Odyssey. But when you
34:20
look at this, you're looking at the future of filmmaking
34:24
and how big budget Hollywood productions can be done at
34:28
a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost. All right. Exactly.
34:32
Yep. Yep. So there was a post that I saw.
34:36
There wasn't a clip. But and I don't know if
34:38
it's true or not. And I reposted it, that it
34:41
would be a game changer if so. But it's the
34:45
A.I. studio for Grok, I guess. Yeah, I saw that
34:51
you did. This is one of the posts I saw.
34:54
You said, if true, game changer. Well, that's true. It
35:00
says you pitch a brief pitch. You brief a director.
35:04
It writes the script, casts, shoots, takes the cuts, timeline,
35:07
bullets, and posts. Directed video, storyboard, cast. Basically, soup to
35:12
nuts. So here's where I think the future. Are you
35:15
ready for this? This is my prediction of the future
35:17
of the entertainment business. All right. Go get the kids,
35:19
everybody. Here he comes. the future you're going to sit
35:23
in and in the not too distant future you're going
35:25
to sit on your couch at night and you're going
35:28
to have your bot and you're going to say hey
35:30
i have 33 minutes to watch a show and it's
35:34
going to give you a list of options. What would
35:36
you a comedy drama or or or a because it's
35:40
going to know you already. Do you want to continue
35:42
this show that we were doing? Do you want this
35:45
character? How would you like this character to go? And
35:47
then you're going to have just different things that you're
35:50
going to select and then it's going to render out.
35:52
A show that fits into that time period that's going
35:55
to be tailored and customized just for you. And the
35:59
same thing is going to be for films or TV
36:01
and film is just going to blend into one. And
36:03
it's going to be based on what you just ask
36:05
it for. And that's going to happen a lot sooner
36:09
than people think. I think you're completely right. And I'll
36:14
just give you an example. I woke up like two
36:18
weeks ago. I was like, you know, there's this story
36:22
I read as a kid, which was now the original.
36:25
So it was Enid Blyton, The Land of Far Beyond.
36:29
And the book was written in 1942. You know, Enid
36:31
Blyton wrote a lot of kids' stories. I forget which
36:34
ones, but, you know, certainly in Europe. But I read
36:36
it in the States. We talked about this on the
36:39
last show I was on. Did we? Yeah, and then
36:42
you had to read it to you. Well, yeah, but
36:44
just – okay, so it's based on the Pilgrim's Progress,
36:47
which is from 1678, public domain. And I'll just reiterate
36:51
it because a lot of what you said has already
36:53
happened. And I said I want to turn this into
36:56
– Oh, you're trying to take credit for this idea
36:59
now. Yes, of course. I'm the pod father. So I
37:02
said, okay, I initially said I want to turn this
37:08
into a movie. So give me cast. I didn't even
37:10
say that. He said, let's do that. And it created
37:13
cast. It had cast cards, I guess, is what they're
37:16
called. So it had a card for each cast member.
37:19
It had names. It changed the story so that the
37:22
idea was the same, but it wasn't blatant ripoff of
37:25
anybody. And this story is a biblical story in disguise.
37:30
guys and uh and i actually loaded a model here
37:34
locally to have it start render stuff that it was
37:37
okay you know wasn't that great so i said well
37:40
let's just do an audio drama it's unbelievable it did
37:44
all of it all of that stuff it did now
37:46
it didn't just you know magically appear while i'm sitting
37:50
on the couch but for sure that's where it's going
37:52
but won't that you as a movie producer won't that
37:55
just won't that become boring and dull where there's no
37:59
serendipity in your control of everything and there's no surprises
38:05
Well, I'm not really in the business anymore, but as
38:07
a consumer... Oh, stop, stop. Okay. But as a consumer,
38:10
I think it's fantastic and amazing. It's like you could
38:14
ask the same thing to a coder. Like when you're
38:18
vibe coding all the things that are running your system
38:20
right now, and you could go to a coder. But
38:23
doesn't it take away from that an ability? Well, yeah,
38:25
there's... There's a true art and talent. You nailed it.
38:29
No, you're nailing it. You're exactly. Thank you. My friends
38:32
who are excellent software developers, who, by the way, of
38:36
two friends I have, they've kind of they've waved the
38:39
white flag on this. They were struggling. They were hating
38:42
it. They're like, yeah. And meanwhile, I'm like, yeah. I'm
38:46
like that cat hammering on the keyboard. I'm like creating,
38:48
so say, yeah, you're okay. Point made, point taken. I've
38:52
created stuff exactly the way I want it. If I
38:55
want to change it, I alter it. It's not quite
38:57
the same as a movie production, but your point, I
39:00
think, is well made. But aren't you getting much more
39:03
enjoyment out of it because it's something you did? I
39:05
am. And it's unique to you? Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
39:10
I am. But I also know what I want. And
39:13
I know... what works and i don't know if i
39:16
i guess if i said i want a surprise twist
39:19
ending you know like the dude's a girl you know
39:22
something like that what was that movie what was that
39:25
movie where put some dei in this wait what was
39:27
that what was that what was that movie where everyone's
39:31
like oh i can't tell you the ending it was
39:33
it was uh about 20 years ago It was a
39:36
Chinese woman, and she turned out to be a dude.
39:40
Like Madame Butterfly. Oh, the crying game. The crying game.
39:42
Thank you. There it is. You just spoiled it for
39:44
everybody. I never saw it. I've known about it. I
39:46
never saw it either. I had no desire to watch
39:48
this movie. Yeah. Okay. So where does that leave us?
39:55
Our movie. We're just going to do it on our
39:57
computers, right? You're talking about the Adam Curry movie? Yeah.
40:02
If we don't do this in AI, we are both
40:05
idiots. But can we still get the $5 million budget?
40:09
We might be able to if we work fast enough.
40:12
We only got a few years where they have to
40:14
make they have to do 30 million or 30 movies
40:18
a year for the first two years and 32. We
40:21
got five years. We got five years. Yeah, so we
40:24
might just make it. We'll have this thing done in
40:28
five months. What are you talking about? This is a
40:30
shooting. Five months at the speed of AI right now,
40:32
and it'll be done in five weeks if we really
40:37
buckle down. Yeah. Wow. What a world we live in,
40:41
Dane Brunetti. What a world we live in. It's exciting.
40:43
I love it. But I am going to become an
40:45
AI doomer where the speed that this stuff is moving
40:51
is fascinating. And we are in early, early, early days
40:56
of AI. So can you imagine in 10 years? where
41:00
we will be with it and what it will be
41:02
doing? Maybe. This is the thing I'm not so sure
41:05
about. I think this whole slowdown is they've reached peak
41:09
model. And I don't know if they can. Well, the
41:12
new models. Have they? Yeah. It seems like there's something
41:17
going on. Where, I mean, you've seen the upgrades like,
41:21
oh, now we have, you know, Opus 5.5. What's the
41:25
difference? Uh, just cost less. Okay. 20% less cost, but
41:28
it's not really doing anything. Yeah, but they all have,
41:31
it's like a new iPhone every, you know, every year.
41:33
Well, you're making my point for me. It's boring. There's
41:36
nothing new and exciting about a new iPhone. Oh, it
41:38
folds. But. But if you take it back to the
41:42
iPhone X – I don't even know what generation. We're
41:47
at 18, I think now. If you go back to
41:49
the iPhone X and you hold them side by side,
41:51
it's like, yeah, but it's incremental small little things that
41:56
– iPhone today compared to an iPhone four years or
42:00
five years ago is tremendously better and so much different.
42:06
But it's such small, subtle changes that are made over
42:12
time that AI is doing that. But it's doing it
42:16
so much faster. It seems like there's a new model
42:18
that comes out every other day. And if you're not
42:20
eating, living and breathing AI, you fall behind. Like we
42:24
were just talking about GrokBot the last time I was
42:26
on the show and how amazing that is. And it
42:28
still is. And I think it's incredible. But now if
42:31
you look at the App Store, the number one. It's
42:33
Muse, and GrokBot is like 168 or something. I think
42:38
Muse, I got Tina on Muse yesterday. I said, you
42:43
know, because Tina's all, whenever, here's how Tina, Tina is
42:46
my canary in the coal mine. I've told this story
42:49
a couple of times. She'll say, "Why would anyone ever
42:53
want to?" And her history is, "Why would anyone ever
42:57
want to use an ATM? That makes no sense to
43:00
me." The second one was why would anyone ever want
43:03
to make a phone call from the street? So whenever
43:05
she says why would I ever want to, I'm always
43:07
delighted. I'm like, oh, this is going to be a
43:09
big success. And I finally – Wait, explain that again.
43:13
Why would anybody want to use an ATM? You're saying
43:15
that or Tina's saying that? Tina said that. She said
43:18
back in the day before I knew her. Like I
43:20
was the person who said, why would everyone want to
43:23
use an ATM? Makes no sense. What would you use
43:27
then? Why are you trying to be logical about this?
43:30
That's the whole point. I'm just, I'm confused. Why would
43:32
you ever want to make a phone call from the
43:35
street? You know, so you and I understood it. We're
43:38
like, I'm in my car. I'm a baller. Look at
43:40
me with my big, with this big, Brick against my
43:42
head, of course. So she really didn't think much of
43:46
the robots. But then I said, you've got to try
43:49
Muse. Please try Muse. And it was fascinating watching her.
43:53
Because I only got Muse the other day. And I
43:56
like it because, first of all, it doesn't talk to
43:59
you. It's a text. It doesn't text thread. It's not
44:01
trying to be your buddy. It's not sucking up the
44:04
whole time. It just does stuff. And it's the same
44:07
basic concept as Manus or GrokBot, where you have a
44:10
computer in the cloud, which, of course, is an abstraction.
44:14
And ultimately, you know, that's all going to come to
44:16
your device. So that's what you and I are talking
44:19
about. But for it. The GrokBot comes to your Tesla
44:22
now. So it's quote-unquote normies who will, oh, I can
44:26
use this. And I saw her. She wanted to do
44:29
price comparison for some plane tickets to New York. And
44:34
she's like, wow, this is really cool. Then – what
44:36
she did next. So someone had given her a dress
44:39
and it didn't, it was, if it fit or not,
44:42
was not the point. It just wasn't, you know, a
44:44
lot of yellow and green. She's like, no, I'm not
44:47
going to wear this. Um, But it's a designer dress.
44:50
So she took a picture and she said, what is
44:53
this thing worth? Well, between four and eleven hundred dollars.
44:55
And so, well, can I sell it somewhere? Yeah, here's
44:58
consignment shop now, now she's
45:00
He's understanding how cool this is and doing arbitrage between
45:03
different services, which, of course, is immediately what Amazon is.
45:08
This is the stuff that I love. Amazon is realizing,
45:12
like, holy crap, we can't have this thing connecting to
45:16
Amazon. Because now people are going to be able to
45:20
comparison shop and we're going to lose sales and lose
45:22
the opportunity to flash other things on the screen while
45:25
you're shopping. I disagree. I think that that'll be it'll
45:29
be advantageous Amazon because it'll it'll increase sales. It'll it'll
45:34
open. It'll help people discover things that they wouldn't have
45:37
necessarily known about or been able to access before from
45:41
other vendors. Yeah, but Amazon – I mean you want
45:45
to talk about monopoly. Amazon has the monopoly on –
45:49
they just make it so easy. And I mean I
45:53
get – I'm like, what do you mean I can't
45:55
get this tomorrow? I gotta wait 'til Saturday to get
45:58
this? This is crazy. - Do you know who I
46:00
am? I'm Dana Brunetti, damn it. - No, but it's,
46:03
I'm on a ranch in the middle of nowhere and
46:06
I can get pretty much anything next day or even
46:09
deliver between four and eight, which is a problem for
46:13
Amazon, particularly in the area. I live because I think,
46:16
and here's another horrible prediction from me, somebody's going to
46:19
get shot because they show up at four in the
46:22
morning at my front door dropping a couple of times.
46:26
It's startled me with the dogs going crazy. And so
46:29
anyways, I digress. So I was looking at some videos
46:36
of Zuckerberg selling this thing. I'm like, okay, before I
46:40
even got it, like, show me what it is. And
46:42
I hear Zuckerberg saying, this is super intelligence. Now, there
46:46
is a term out there called artificial superintelligence and artificial
46:51
general intelligence, all this nonsense. And I was like, okay,
46:53
I called superintelligence. But then I heard our president at
46:57
the United Nations. The United States also totally rejects any
47:01
attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control for the
47:04
artificial intelligence system. being spoken of so much now, here
47:10
and after officially called Super Intelligence, changing the name. And
47:15
that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake.
47:19
It makes it sound fake, and it is not fake.
47:22
It's actually... He kind of has a point. No, he's
47:25
perfect. Amazing. Amazing. But we have to be careful. In
47:28
fact, it is exactly the opposite of what it purports.
47:34
From this point forward, all of United States documents, and
47:37
hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much
47:41
more accurate term, Super as opposed to... I'm surprised they
47:45
didn't call it American intelligence. I'm surprised they didn't call
47:48
it Trump intelligence. T.I. T.I. Exactly. That would have been
47:52
so much better. But this was a big conversation over
47:55
there with the muckety-mucks at UN, and no one, including
47:57
the president, really understands what this is. Today, the Security
48:00
Council held its first ever UN General Assembly AI meeting.
48:04
including warnings from American AI leaders. No one person or
48:07
company or country should be able to use the most
48:10
powerful AI models to impose the example on them. But
48:14
in this chamber, the flawed but still only international body
48:18
whose resolutions are legally binding, it fell to the co-chair
48:21
of the UN's independent AI panel, Joshua Bengio. To warn
48:25
the world, it must police AI companies and issue a
48:29
clarion call for collaboration. Today, a handful of companies and
48:33
countries are acting in their self-interest by taking reckless risks
48:38
with humanity's fate. Our future, all of us, our future
48:43
is at stake. Decisions that affect us all should be
48:48
made by us all. No. The choice is still ours,
48:52
but we must act now to correct the trajectory. What
48:57
country is that guy from? Not the U.S., though, right?
49:03
No, no, no, no. Is he from China or any
49:06
country? Is there a large language model or an AI
49:10
company that is a frontier model coming out of his
49:14
country? Hold on a second. Give me a moment. I'll
49:18
tell you who that was who was speaking. That was…
49:23
The answer is no. No. No, the answer is no.
49:26
Because if it's not the U.S. or China – Or
49:28
is there another country I'm not thinking of? Somebody correct
49:31
me. The troll room could correct me. What countries control
49:34
or have the companies – because I know Canada, they
49:37
were sticking their nose in it, and they don't have
49:40
a company with a frontier model that I'm aware of.
49:43
So it's Anthropik, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, and then all of
49:47
the Chinese companies. From my knowledge, now somebody can correct
49:51
me if I'm wrong. So are we going and telling
49:55
the French how to make wine? Well, apparently they need
49:59
some help because the wine sales are down. They're in
50:02
transition. They are big time in transition. So now, of
50:06
course, not a single… You and I have a grasp
50:11
on this, and I'm always dismayed and kind of sad
50:15
at people younger than me, and that's pretty much everybody
50:19
in the troll room. How anti-AI they, I'm sorry, TI.
50:23
You and I just call it TI. I think Trump
50:25
intelligence is great. How anti-TI they are. In the showroom,
50:29
somebody says Canada has AI. AI. AI. AI. Net. Net.
50:36
Net. It's like. No one really understands it. No one.
50:43
And I was, except for smart political people. And this.
50:49
Which ones are those? Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon is he's
50:52
he goes. Now you're really doing it. Now he goes
50:56
wherever the wind blows, but he knows how to leverage.
51:00
any kind of conversation for political gain. And so he
51:04
organized this humans-only conference or for humans only. And the
51:11
fact that they had... Bernie Sanders there, Greg Kazar, who
51:17
used to be a city councilman in Austin and is
51:19
like a communist. He's a horrible, horrible man. Yeah, he's
51:24
a horrible man. And and also there was my representative
51:27
who I've always had some issues with. He's a nice
51:31
guy, but Chip Roy. So Chip Roy. You know, he
51:36
he goes on CNBC of all places, Chip Roy. And
51:40
here's some what came out of it. Lawmakers are debating
51:43
how to handle the risk of AI after stark warnings
51:46
from our tech leaders. Our next guest. Just spoke at
51:49
the Pro Human Assembly. Pro Human Assembly. There you go.
51:52
It's a division of the Human Fund, I believe, of
51:55
George Costanza. No, the Pro Human Fund, urging Congress to
51:58
take action. Good line from Joe. I love Joe. He's
52:01
great. Join us now, Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy. And
52:06
Congressman, I saw you. We were... Together, I saw you
52:09
in makeup, which I'm not afraid to say. I saw
52:12
you just briefly. And so it was Bernie Sanders was
52:16
there and Steve Bannon, and you were there as well.
52:19
They're making the rounds today, and I immediately... I wasn't
52:23
criticizing you, but I started needling you a little. Making
52:27
the rounds today is Bernie Sanders six years ago at
52:30
the debate. Climate change at that point. Six years, we're
52:33
toast. It's making the rounds on social media. I don't
52:37
know how he wanted to regulate that, but you want
52:40
to regulate AI like Bernie Sanders today? If Democrats take
52:45
the House, these are the people you want regulating out.
52:48
Well, first of all, we don't want Democrats taking the
52:49
House. Second of all, I don't want to regulate anything.
52:51
I'm a free market conservative. I'm a limited government conservative.
52:54
What I want are answers. What I want is for
52:57
the big tech companies who are sitting here saying, oh,
53:00
my God, we've got to do this to beat China.
53:02
And all the people in Washington saying we've got to
53:03
do this to beat China. Yeah, where are the big
53:06
tech companies right now? They're giving China the very technology
53:10
that they're using to beat us. So you can't have
53:12
it both ways. So this is so typical. Oh, now
53:16
it's China. And Trump does that too. China. I don't
53:19
want China to have China. I can't have China accelerating.
53:22
So. Well, what's wrong with that, though, with pushing back
53:27
and saying that we don't want China taking the lead?
53:30
Because it's bull crap. You and I are taking the
53:32
lead. We've got this crap running in our homes. It's
53:35
like China. Make a model. Please just make more models.
53:38
You spend the money. I'll use it. It's the garage
53:41
bands that are going to. This is the new punk
53:44
rock. I agree with that, but it's – I think
53:48
that we should – it could be any industry. We
53:52
shouldn't scale back and let another country like China –
54:00
You understand this. They're not going to scale back anything.
54:04
They want protection. They want a mode. I have a
54:09
clip for that. Go do AI Jensen. Almost. My boy.
54:15
I'm curious to know your opinion, why you think there
54:17
are no missing parts when someone like a Dario Amadei
54:21
or a Sam Altman is saying, we'd like to see
54:23
regulation. I think what I was responding to is in
54:28
the case of both of the labs... One lab had
54:33
four incidents, cybersecurity incidents, triggered by them. Another one just
54:39
had a couple more. And so before, and both of
54:43
those incidents has plenty of laws to deal with. You
54:48
have cybersecurity, unauthorized entry laws. You have... You have damage
54:55
liabilities, you have You know, all kinds of liabilities associated
55:00
with cybersecurity. You have all kinds of liabilities associated with
55:04
products. And so if your product does harm, if your
55:07
product doesn't perform as you promised, and if you entered
55:10
into contracts with companies for service level agreements, there are
55:13
plenty of laws associated with that. My point is, apply
55:16
those first. And don't let this doomsday narrative cause somebody
55:24
to relieve them of the laws that currently exist. Now,
55:29
go and read between the lines. There's a lot of...
55:33
They're actually not asking for more laws. They're asking to
55:38
be relieved of the laws we do have. And I
55:41
think that that's a problem. We have plenty of law,
55:43
so let's apply those first. Yeah. No, I'm all in
55:45
with Jensen. I think he's absolutely right. But that's not
55:48
what those guys are doing. Let me get back to
55:50
the pro-human conference. By the way, I'm in a troll
55:53
room. I saw you said 62 versus 55. Yeah. Aren't
55:57
you? No, you're thinking of J. Cal. He's 55. How
56:00
old are you? 53. Oh, sorry. Okay. Age discrimination. Well,
56:06
it's DEI, baby. We want to get young people on
56:09
the show. So there was one, they invited, only one
56:12
person from quote unquote industry spoke at this conference. You've
56:16
probably met him, Jared Lanier. Yeah, I know. Yeah, he's
56:22
the father of virtual reality. He's got dreadlocks. He's probably
56:27
350 pounds. Lots of hippie silver rings and bangles and
56:32
stuff. Visionary, wears shades. You've never seen this guy? Why
56:36
would I have met him? Because you hang out with
56:39
weird people. It's possible. You're the kind of guy. Yeah.
56:42
I don't hang out with anybody, man. I live on
56:45
a – What do you mean when I was hanging
56:46
out with Elon? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I was
56:48
hanging out with the hard boys. That was when I
56:50
lived in L.A. This is the California people. You never
56:53
know. So anyway. I don't leave my ranch, man. So
56:56
Jaron Lanier, I think is how you pronounce it. So
57:00
he spoke at the conference, and he had only four
57:03
points to make. Dude, they played, they tried to play
57:07
this guy off the stage. They were throwing up the
57:09
music. They had the moderator on the stage nudging him
57:13
off. I cut most of that out because it's just
57:16
annoying and I, I actually had my robot remove the
57:20
music in the last clip because they were just fading
57:23
up the music. Get him off. Give him the hook.
57:25
We can't have this guy saying this. And the things
57:28
that he said, I think, were spot on. There's a
57:30
kind of a pseudo religion or maybe it's even a
57:33
full blown religion that what's going on is we're creating
57:36
this new successor situation. species, this new super digital god,
57:40
this new super being that maybe is better than people,
57:44
and the only thing that matters is creating that, and
57:47
nothing else really matters. And you've seen many video clips
57:50
today of people from our community talking that way. Like
57:55
Peter Thiel not being quite ready to say he wants
57:58
people to survive, or the co-founder of XAI saying, "Well,
58:01
we'll all die anyway." And say, "Well, how can they
58:04
do that? Why would they want to do something? And
58:06
it's because of this compulsive... Now, the thing about that
58:13
is you might find it surprising occasionally when they suddenly
58:17
agree with something that seems reasonable. So, in the last
58:21
couple of days, we've seen some of the AI lab
58:25
leaders say, yeah, a pause, we're into a pause. Now,
58:28
why? It's a funny thing, but within our world, as
58:34
long as the way, if you frame any kind of
58:38
reaction to AI or any kind of concern about it
58:41
in a way that emphasizes how intensely cool and powerful
58:45
AI is, then it's all right. Do you follow that?
58:48
Do you follow that? So in other words, if you
58:50
say, oh yeah, it could kill us all, it's so
58:52
powerful, well yeah, we should pause it. The key part
58:55
there is that you're reifying, you're reinforcing this idea that
58:59
there's a super being. As long as that's the foundational
59:03
message, then it just sails through. If that message is
59:07
contradicted... It will not. It won't even be heard. Okay?
59:13
So you need to understand our culture. You need to
59:15
understand our language. And that's why the pause is suddenly
59:18
a thing. Exactly. A marketing thing. Yeah. So now he
59:21
brings in China as, you know, compared to the –
59:24
so he's – my whole problem with this is how
59:28
it was introduced. And that was – I think a
59:30
lot of people – I think Elon is probably mad
59:33
at Sam Altman for bringing in the chat bot, which
59:36
had this illusion of, oh, this is a real thing
59:39
because we've been so pre-programmed by movies and television. Oh,
59:43
if it's talking to me, then obviously it's a living
59:45
thing. Well, he's bringing in a humanoid. That's even –
59:49
So why would he be mad about a chat bot
59:52
when there's a humanoid coming? Yeah. OK, I'll wait for
59:55
that. So this this is something that breaks the tour.
1:00:00
test you know the turing test is if if a
1:00:02
computer can fool someone into thinking that it's a human
1:00:05
or it's a real being then you have you know
1:00:07
you've broken through the you've completed the turing test and
1:00:11
he brings in china here and i think this is
1:00:13
important to understand how china operates versus the united states
1:00:17
because we have this intense compulsion to create this new
1:00:21
life to believe we're creating the new digital god, we
1:00:24
are urgently always trying to make it seem alive. And
1:00:28
another way to put that is we're trying to pass
1:00:30
what's called the Turing test, which is where you could
1:00:33
fool a reasonable person into treating it as a living
1:00:35
thing. And so we don't just... present a tool that
1:00:40
answers questions. We have to present a chatbot that seems
1:00:44
to have a personality and has like a character and
1:00:47
gets to know you and remembers you. They don't just
1:00:50
get voices. Like in the old days in science fiction,
1:00:52
before I was born, robots and AI used to have
1:00:55
voices that sounded like robots and AI, so they were
1:00:59
distinguished. That was better, but no, no, no, no. We're
1:01:02
trying to make them sound like Scarlett Johansson or whatever.
1:01:05
And so, why? Now, I want to point out something
1:01:10
that I think is kind of important. That's a good
1:01:11
point. A lot of the argument for going full bore
1:01:15
ahead, even if we say we might kill everybody, is
1:01:17
that China compete. But have you noticed something interesting? When
1:01:22
China makes a model of a given level of performance,
1:01:26
it comes out cheaper than we do it. It's cheaper
1:01:28
to make and cheaper to run. Now, I have a
1:01:31
theory. But they have less regulation and they have slave
1:01:34
labor. No, no, no, no. That's not the point he's
1:01:37
going to make. When he starts making the point, they
1:01:40
start – Yeah, I don't think he's making that point,
1:01:42
but I'm just saying that's why. Because you interrupted the
1:01:44
clip. That's what the pause button is for. You like
1:01:47
Dvorak now. This is horrible. Wait for it. Oh, God.
1:01:50
Oh, hey, wait. I got some. He has a bell.
1:01:55
Now you're a podcaster. Wait, wait, wait. No, I got
1:01:59
I got. Hold on. Hold on. You're you're you're sad.
1:02:03
You're just sad. No, no, wait. No. Hold on. I
1:02:06
got a box. Hold on. I got a box of
1:02:10
Dvorak's noise noisemakers. You got this in years from his
1:02:17
office. I have Dvorak's Bell. Did you buy it or
1:02:23
was it given to you? It was sent to me
1:02:26
by Jay. Wow. She sent me a box. It arrived
1:02:30
yesterday. Her and Mimi, they sent. Do you have the
1:02:33
slide whistle? I don't, but I have the train whistle
1:02:38
with laser tools corporation, a print cash. I have a,
1:02:41
I'm not putting this thing on my mouth. The blue
1:02:44
midnight, uh, Mathis Hohner made in Germany. Oh, Monica. And
1:02:51
then I have this pig that you squeeze it. Yeah.
1:02:57
and what else? Oh, and then the country cow where
1:03:01
you turn it over and you get a little cow
1:03:04
fart. Nice. Yeah. It doesn't, it doesn't work very well,
1:03:07
but I think they're just trying to clean out his
1:03:09
office and, Get rid of things. They're just shipping stuff
1:03:13
to people. But I did get the bell. And this
1:03:16
bell, they told me that it was grimy and dirty.
1:03:20
And they weren't kidding. This thing needs a cleaning, but
1:03:22
I'm going to leave it as it is. It's got
1:03:24
Dvorak sap all over it. That's nasty. It does. Nasty.
1:03:28
Okay. So... Now, he's going to make a point about
1:03:31
China, and they're going to start playing him off, and
1:03:33
I have one more clip after that. A lot of
1:03:36
the argument for going full bore ahead, even if we
1:03:38
say we might kill everybody, is that China compete. But
1:03:43
have you noticed something interesting? When China makes a model
1:03:46
of a given level of performance, it comes out cheaper
1:03:50
than we do it. It's cheaper to make and cheaper
1:03:53
to run. Now I have a theory for overall why
1:03:57
that is. It's because we add all this overhead for
1:04:00
the digital god illusion that makes everything more expensive. And
1:04:04
over in China, they already have their alternate god, which
1:04:07
is the Chinese Communist Party. They're playing them all. Yep.
1:04:10
They're freed of that expense. I think that's so true.
1:04:14
Like, this is exactly... I thought that was something playing
1:04:16
on my computer. They literally were just playing... I'm going
1:04:17
to explain him off. It's like he's in an award
1:04:19
show. Yes, exactly. Off the stage you go because he's
1:04:23
making a point that, hey, China is doing better not
1:04:25
because of – regulations they're doing better because they're not
1:04:28
putting all this overhead in to make it your buddy
1:04:31
and it loves you when it talks to you and
1:04:34
it has a has a um it has a personality
1:04:37
so the music okay that's true well that that let
1:04:39
me play the third clip okay go ahead So this
1:04:42
had music underneath it, but it got so loud that
1:04:45
I had to demuck it. That illusion is expensive. That's
1:04:49
the thing that hurts kids. That's the thing that creates
1:04:52
addictions. That's the thing that creates political distortions. That's the
1:04:56
origin of the deep fake. That, like, there should just,
1:05:01
it violates... multiple principles, it's fraudulent, intrinsically. Like, why do
1:05:08
we do it? It's expensive and it's not productive. Why
1:05:12
do we do it? We could stop. We can present
1:05:15
all the functionality, all the cancer cures, all of the
1:05:19
help that we promise, without the illusion of these fake
1:05:22
people. Now, if we implemented these four things, would that
1:05:26
guarantee safety? No. But these are all achievable things that
1:05:31
would get us much closer, and they're specific. So the
1:05:33
music was so loud at that point. It was just...
1:05:37
is so rude. But I think he makes the point,
1:05:41
and this is why they want, get out, get out,
1:05:42
get out, get out. You're breaking the illusion. You're breaking
1:05:46
the illusion that this is dangerous and we have to
1:05:48
have regulation or slow down or nationalize it or whatever.
1:05:53
That guy and Pastor Jimmy and I talked about it
1:05:55
yesterday and we get to do this as a whole
1:05:57
God angle to it, which you don't have to repeat
1:06:01
here. But this is the core problem of what is
1:06:04
happening here. That's it. He nailed it. Okay. And so
1:06:10
if we just stop being... so crazy about making it
1:06:16
like her. Yeah, okay. Let me push back on that.
1:06:23
By that logic, we would still be, our computers would
1:06:26
all still be in DOS. No, no, no, no, no.
1:06:31
Why? No, because the voice makes it accessible and to
1:06:35
a lot of people that know it's a parlor trick.
1:06:40
Yeah, but you know what this folder that's sitting on
1:06:42
my desktop that looks like a paper folder that could
1:06:45
be considered a parlor trick by that logic. There's no
1:06:48
evidence anyone will ever use a mouse. Don't you know
1:06:51
that by now? And it's true because we're going to
1:06:55
stop using the mouse. The thing that bugs me, though,
1:06:59
is all. Wait till we get to the tip of
1:07:01
the day. All the people are back on television. Tristan
1:07:08
Harris. He was the guy like, oh, the algorithms are
1:07:12
killing our kids. And why his name isn't Tristan, I
1:07:15
don't know. But it's Tristan. Tristan Harris. He's doing the
1:07:19
rounds. Renee DiResta. She was... She was the one, you
1:07:25
know, fighting disinformation and democracy. Now she's all of a
1:07:29
sudden she's at the George Washington at the Washington University.
1:07:34
And now she's in charge of large data model, blah,
1:07:38
blah, blah. All these nut jobs come out again. It's
1:07:41
just so annoying. What is happening where this is I'm
1:07:46
with you. This is so punk rock. If you do
1:07:49
this stuff yourself and you mess around with it and
1:07:51
you're going beyond what they're trying to fence us into.
1:07:55
And the only logical legislation, logical, the only legislation I
1:07:59
think they could come up with. Because, you know, well,
1:08:02
we have to all these rules for the road. And,
1:08:04
you know, there was this this this guy, Russell. He's
1:08:07
a professor. And. Yeah, but but but the getting rid
1:08:13
of the voice chat and that aspect of it, I
1:08:16
think I feel like it's two different things as far
1:08:19
as the what the government wants to do to regulate.
1:08:21
And as what as far as what the companies are
1:08:25
doing, building out like a voice chat or with what
1:08:29
that guy was talking about. I think that's different than
1:08:33
what... The regulations that we're talking about. No. What am
1:08:36
I? I'm confused here on what you what what the
1:08:38
point is that you're making. OK, so there's two points.
1:08:41
The regulation always goes to we want a world government.
1:08:45
That's what all these people are trying to do. We
1:08:47
want that's bad. We want a world government to regulate
1:08:49
it. So Trump's not going to let that happen on
1:08:51
his watch. It could happen, you know, with President Newsom.
1:08:55
- But what's that have to do with how the
1:08:59
AI companies are, for lack of better words, go ahead.
1:09:04
- If we wanted to accelerate with what you can
1:09:07
really do with these models, You wouldn't spend so much
1:09:10
time on their digital god imagery of making it sound
1:09:14
like a human and act like a human and having
1:09:16
a personality. Just give it to us. I disagree with
1:09:19
that part. That's the part I disagree with because if
1:09:23
they didn't do that, like if it was just in
1:09:25
– otherwise it's just for nerds like guys like me
1:09:29
and you that are digging into it Zuckerberg is proving
1:09:33
it Muse doesn't have a personality it just does what
1:09:37
you tell it to do yeah but it's got the
1:09:39
cute little icon on it and it's still in his
1:09:41
text it's got a piece of Play-Doh up there it
1:09:43
doesn't look like a human but it's still but if
1:09:47
it If it was just a black and white typewriter
1:09:50
text thing, Tina wouldn't be using it. Yeah. No, she
1:09:54
hated that part. She's like, what is this gobbagoo at
1:09:56
the top of the screen? That's my point. No, she
1:09:59
doesn't. Okay. Okay. Oh, she didn't like that. She didn't
1:10:01
like the eye, the cute little icon. She doesn't want
1:10:04
any of that. Just be a robot. But OK, so
1:10:06
what if it looked like the troll room and it
1:10:09
was just black and white? Hell no. I delete it
1:10:12
from my phone right away. No, I'm talking about the
1:10:15
look and feel. No. What I think they're going to
1:10:19
go for in America. This is a license, like a
1:10:24
driver's license. That's where this is going to go. You
1:10:28
have to be the responsible human being. You have to
1:10:31
take a test to be able to, because there's nothing
1:10:34
else that makes sense than that. And this will be
1:10:37
the digital ID. That's where I see this going with
1:10:40
all these legislators. To use AI, I'm sorry, I'm not
1:10:47
following you, to use AI In order to use that,
1:10:50
you'll have to have like a driver's license, like a
1:10:53
pilot's license, like a gun license. Write that down in
1:10:57
the red book. Yes, fishing license. This is what we're
1:11:03
good at. Make everybody – or you have to be
1:11:06
responsible. You have to go and take a test, and
1:11:09
you have to do this. to do that. That is
1:11:11
the only, they'll never go for, you know, I guess
1:11:15
like a section 230, you know, whatever, like we're not
1:11:17
responsible. None of that's going to happen. They're going to
1:11:20
put it back on us. They are. They are. Yeah,
1:11:23
you can put that in the book. All right. I
1:11:27
think that's a little far-fetched, but I like where you're
1:11:30
going. Anyway, you and I are the punk rock of
1:11:32
AI, my brother. If you say so. I mean, I
1:11:37
just I find technology and stuff super interesting. I'm always
1:11:41
fiddling around with it. I don't ever master it. I'm
1:11:44
a jack of a lot of trades. I mean, you've
1:11:47
got it. You've gone pretty far. I mean, you're stringing
1:11:50
things. Just so you know, he sends me screenshots of
1:11:53
his surveillance cameras and says screenplays. Squirrel detected. So you
1:11:58
can go out and blow the poor critter's brains out
1:12:01
with an airsoft rifle. What are you talking about? I
1:12:03
would never do such a thing. You're a hater, man.
1:12:06
You hate squirrels. You're a squirrel hater. I don't like
1:12:09
rodents that chew my wires. No. Since you're a rancher,
1:12:14
since you're a farmer, let's talk about diesel for a
1:12:17
second. Oh, man. Has it ruined your life, the diesel
1:12:21
prices? I meant to send you a photo I took
1:12:24
this morning when I was going to get coffee. It's
1:12:28
$8.50 a gallon here. And you have farm equipment, though,
1:12:33
right? Yeah. Yeah, but the one saving grace that's really
1:12:38
saving grace is I get red diesel, which is the
1:12:42
same thing. Less taxes, yeah. Yeah, so it's about $2
1:12:47
cheaper a gallon or $1.50 cheaper a gallon. That's pretty
1:12:51
interesting because red diesel is – I think it's the
1:12:53
same all around the world. And so the news reports
1:12:56
always talk about, oh, it's $8 for diesel, but they're
1:12:59
not giving the red diesel price, which is also high.
1:13:02
Well, because – But because you can't use red diesel
1:13:05
on the road. I know, but they use it in
1:13:08
the same story about the farmers. Oh, the farmers. But
1:13:12
they definitely have a super deal. Oh, I get what
1:13:14
you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, but it's still the price of
1:13:18
red diesel isn't flat. So when you see the diesel
1:13:22
at your normal gas station, that going up, the red
1:13:24
diesel is going. up just as much, but you don't
1:13:27
have the tax on it that you do at the
1:13:29
station. But to your point, I have I have two
1:13:33
450s, two big Ford F450s that we use for hauling
1:13:38
trailers, horse trailers, and dump trailers, equipment trailers. And then
1:13:42
there's all the tractors, the farm tractor, the bulldozer, the
1:13:46
loaders, all of those. Those all use diesel. Luckily, most
1:13:50
of the construction on the ranch and stuff is done,
1:13:53
but now it's – it's still, it takes a hit,
1:13:56
but, The 450s are sitting parked, both of them on
1:14:00
like a half a tank. I'm not taking them in.
1:14:02
I'm trying to wait as long as I can. And
1:14:04
hopefully the – I thought over the holiday Memorial –
1:14:07
or excuse me, Labor Day holiday, I thought that's why
1:14:11
they were high. I thought they would drop after that.
1:14:14
They didn't. They just continued to climb, and now it
1:14:16
looks like they're going to continue to climb until at
1:14:18
least the elect. But yeah, they're sitting around. But I
1:14:22
know you hate this, but my Cybertruck, that thing is,
1:14:27
I have 38 kilowatts of solar. I have six power
1:14:31
walls. My ranch is practically off grid. I don't even
1:14:35
get my trash picked up here. However, I do have
1:14:38
to haul a dump trailer to the dump, which costs
1:14:42
me with diesel now. But the Cybertruck is... That's what
1:14:46
I jump in. I have a Jeep and things I
1:14:48
use as ranch vehicles around here. But if I got
1:14:50
to go into town or go to Home Depot, I
1:14:52
jump in that thing and it's basically free for me.
1:14:56
It's always wonderful to hear a millionaire say, hey, you
1:14:58
know, it's not too bad.
1:15:00
I'm pretty good. It's all right. I got a cyber
1:15:01
truck. That's not what I said. I got solar panels.
1:15:04
That's what I'm saying. This is my translation. But the
1:15:09
president and Buffalo Besson, that's his new name. Now I
1:15:12
got that from Chris this week in Bitcoin. instead of
1:15:14
General Besant. Now it's Buffalo Besant. They already have a
1:15:20
trick up their sleeve. It's called for a ban on
1:15:22
diesel exports, a temporary ban. For what? A ban on
1:15:25
diesel exports. Chuck Grassley called for the same thing. Mike
1:15:28
Rogers called for the same thing. Is that something you're
1:15:30
considering? Well, I've called for that too. I've said let's
1:15:33
not send out the diesel. We make a lot of...
1:15:35
These are That could have a little bit of an
1:15:38
effect on regular automobile gasoline, because when you do that,
1:15:42
it's sort of a flow, it's a balance. But I've
1:15:45
called for it within my people. I've been talking about
1:15:48
it. Scott, do you want to talk about that for
1:15:50
a second? We're examining that, whether it's feasible in terms
1:15:55
of the overall refining process capacity and whether a full
1:16:00
or partial ban would work. Is there a timeline for
1:16:03
decision on that diesel? Fast. One way or the other.
1:16:06
I'm going to do it fast. This would be an
1:16:07
interesting thing to do, to ban the export of diesel.
1:16:11
Just sell it in the United States. Well, yeah. I
1:16:13
mean, if it's going out of the United States, particularly
1:16:17
– places like california that the diesel refineries have been
1:16:20
running out of the state yeah um yeah keep more
1:16:23
of it here rather than sending it out and let
1:16:26
that be you know their problem and not our problem
1:16:28
but i don't think that'll i mean unless they ban
1:16:31
it the The gas companies aren't going to do that.
1:16:35
I mean, that's a lot of money for them to
1:16:37
ship it overseas. But I think that would be great
1:16:40
if they could do that. They're going to do whatever
1:16:43
the executive order says. Well, yeah, that's why. Yeah, you
1:16:46
can do it under Defense Production Act. There's all kinds
1:16:51
of ways you can do it. There you go. Here's
1:16:53
CNBC with an interesting take. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has
1:16:57
an idea on how to lower fuel costs, writing on
1:17:00
X. Let's lower some fuel costs now and help the
1:17:03
entire U.S. economy with electricity. The administration and Congress issuing
1:17:08
a 90 day ban on U.S. diesel exports and making
1:17:13
the small refinery exception permanent. Governor Landry joins us now
1:17:17
this morning. Governor, good. We got the cameras going. It's
1:17:21
good to see you. I thought we were going to
1:17:23
have to do it on the phone. Good morning. Good
1:17:25
morning. Good morning. In a nutshell, sometimes I wish we
1:17:30
could just keep all of our oil here and have
1:17:35
our own prices here. Because a lot of what we're
1:17:38
seeing, since it's a global price and it's fungible and
1:17:43
oil goes everywhere, we are stuck with whatever the global
1:17:46
price is. What you're trying to do here, it sounds
1:17:49
like... You know, don't export diesel. Would that actually work
1:17:54
and we'd have much lower prices here or would it
1:17:56
just disrupt? It just seems like it's swimming uphill. Well,
1:18:01
look, there are a couple of things that we can
1:18:03
do long term to make sure that we don't get
1:18:06
in this position again. And then there are some things
1:18:09
that we can do immediately that will give Americans some
1:18:12
immediate relief. Look, putting in place a 90 day export
1:18:16
ban certainly would create a supply of diesel in the
1:18:20
country, which would cause diesel price. is to fall. I
1:18:23
mean, right now, a record amount of diesel is going
1:18:26
to Europe and Americans are subsidizing Europe's problems. And why?
1:18:32
Because Ukraine, there's a war in Ukraine and issues in
1:18:35
Iran. And Europe has done nothing to help America in
1:18:39
either one of those two Yeah. I thought, I'm like,
1:18:43
yeah, screw the Europeans. Now, wait, who is that? The
1:18:47
governor of Louisiana, Landry. I'm voting for him. And I
1:18:51
don't even live in Louisiana. He also said something else,
1:18:55
the conversation, just a quick throwback about data centers. And
1:18:59
I'll just play that because it was worth it. You
1:19:01
know, Governor, the... the AI data center football is now
1:19:06
being kicked around by both Democrats and Republicans. Is it
1:19:14
fair to say that you would welcome data center investments
1:19:19
in Louisiana? And sometimes I think about There he has.
1:19:23
Some areas and not. Yeah, he's very pro. Picking on
1:19:26
Louisiana, but some parts of the country where jobs and
1:19:30
revenue and the economic benefits of this investment. just seems
1:19:36
like it so far outweighs where some of these communities
1:19:39
are right now. It's very strange for me to watch
1:19:42
what's playing out at a lot of these town halls.
1:19:45
It is. It is a paradox. And unfortunately, I don't
1:19:48
think the American people are digesting all of the information.
1:19:51
I mean, look, nothing against golfers out there, but golf
1:19:55
courses use 40 times more water than data centers. That's
1:20:01
what I'm going to use. I love that. 40 times
1:20:04
more. It's probably true. Did you see the construction site
1:20:10
for SpaceX in Louisiana, the 440-acre construction site? Oh, it's
1:20:15
massive. Yeah, it's massive. It's massive. It's unbelievable. And it's
1:20:18
like Louisiana, this guy, he knows what he's doing. Louisiana,
1:20:22
what I was speaking about earlier – There's a lot
1:20:25
of film that's shot there because they gave tax incentives
1:20:28
to bring the film industry there because they understood that
1:20:30
when you can bring in a large industry like that,
1:20:33
it creates jobs and creates a bustling economy. Meanwhile, we
1:20:38
have Abbott here in Texas. He's like, well, you know,
1:20:41
we should probably have to do a survey, blah, blah,
1:20:43
blah. It's the whole thing. is about the midterms. But
1:20:47
I want to move back to Europe for a second
1:20:49
because here we go. I'm getting legit concerned now about
1:20:56
what these crazy people are doing. They're so desperate. There's
1:21:01
people who have theories about it being, you know, we
1:21:04
need a financial reset in Europe and they need to
1:21:07
get rid of all of their debt and they want
1:21:10
to. turn everything around the things that they actually accuse
1:21:13
the united states of like oh and before you know
1:21:15
it'll be a digital dollar i think they're doing that
1:21:18
in in europe and they desperately desperately desperately want a
1:21:22
war with russia and i have this report from the
1:21:25
bbc that just Anyone living in Europe, you should be
1:21:29
outraged. NATO faces the most dangerous and complex security. I
1:21:34
have to say something about Mark Rutte. I just need
1:21:37
to remind everybody. He was Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
1:21:43
You know, unmarried, no children, probably gay. We don't know.
1:21:48
Not that the Dutch would care. A nerd. He literally
1:21:51
came from human resources at what's the soap company? Unilever.
1:21:58
Soap and Pabst Blue Ribbon, everybody. Nice. He literally came
1:22:03
from HR at Unilever and suddenly he's prime minister. The
1:22:09
guy is no good. Nobody ever liked him. He's wimpy.
1:22:12
He's soft. But now he's Mr. NATO. He's a sales
1:22:15
guy for our stuff, obviously. He's doing a great job
1:22:18
with that. But just whenever I hear, I'm like, ah.
1:22:22
- Requirement in a generation. - So he's selling war
1:22:25
now. - There is a real risk that drones or
1:22:27
other types of projectiles will enter the territory of one
1:22:31
or several countries on the eastern flank. And this was
1:22:34
the scene in Poland earlier on Thursday, air raid sirens
1:22:37
after a Russian attack near the border with Ukraine. Let's
1:22:40
not forget that there is, you know, there's arson, there's
1:22:43
sabotage almost every day. There is this background of a
1:22:47
real concern, given the escalation of Russia's full-scale invasion of
1:22:51
Russian aggression in Ukraine, that it could spill over into
1:22:55
Europe. Is Russia planning to attack a NATO country? Trust
1:22:59
me, no. No, of course not. Not a new question,
1:23:03
but it is something more and more people are asking
1:23:06
now. How likely is an attack from Russia? What would
1:23:09
it actually look like? And why are we talking about
1:23:12
it now? Well, over the next 10 minutes... Because you
1:23:14
want war! ...we'll answer all of those questions. But first,
1:23:18
here was a warning from Poland's prime minister, Donald Tusk.
1:23:22
There is a real risk that drones or other types
1:23:27
of projectiles will enter the territory of one or several
1:23:30
countries on the eastern flank and even cause destruction. And
1:23:34
the official narration will be that it's an accident and
1:23:36
there is no reason for NATO to think about a
1:23:39
response. The goal, as evidenced by an analysis of Russian
1:23:43
actions to date, is also to undermine NATO's integrity, and
1:23:47
above all to convince NATO member states, as we have
1:23:50
already seen happen, that Article 5 is more theoretical than
1:23:54
practical. In other words, the premise is that no one
1:23:57
would be willing to die for Latvia or Lithuania when
1:24:00
faced with mere incidents rather than a formal declaration of
1:24:04
war. So note the scary music, by the way, that
1:24:08
is supposed to give you some tension there and your
1:24:10
nervousness. And a couple more clips here. Well, the warning
1:24:13
came as a massive attack on the western part of
1:24:15
Ukraine, very close to the Polish border, took place with
1:24:18
Poland repeatedly forced to scramble its aircraft. Well, Donald Tusk
1:24:23
isn't the only European leader warning about Russia. President Macron
1:24:27
also has been sounding the alarm. Of course, Emmanuel. In
1:24:30
recent weeks, the threat, in particular the hybrid Russian threat
1:24:34
to Europeans and France, has intensified. I want to say
1:24:37
here that the nature of Russian aggression and its threats
1:24:41
in Europe is changing. The drone attack on a passenger
1:24:44
train from Kiev a few days ago. The attack or
1:24:47
attempted attack at Leipzig airport which failed. So they keep
1:24:50
bringing this up. So there was a drone at Leipzig
1:24:53
Airport. It didn't detonate because, of course, Russians don't know
1:24:56
how to do that. But how big was this drone?
1:24:59
Was this like a DJI drone? Or like it could
1:25:03
have been some kid that was like flying around. Exactly.
1:25:06
This is the whole point. There's no evidence. They haven't
1:25:09
proven that it was Russia or that it was Russian
1:25:11
experience. explosives, nothing at all, but they've just turned that
1:25:15
message into, well, the Russians tried to blow up Leipzig,
1:25:18
of all places. Leipzig Airport, really? I mean, you go
1:25:21
for Munich, maybe, or Frankfurt, but no, Leipzig, okay. The
1:25:25
firing of flares near a Danish figure incursions into airspace
1:25:30
of several European countries and the increase in hostile acts
1:25:33
in most of our countries. Okay. The head of NATO,
1:25:37
Mark Rutter, says the use of drones along Poland's border
1:25:39
with Ukraine shows that Vladimir Putin is becoming increasingly desperate.
1:25:45
It's clearly an example of increasingly reckless behavior by Russia
1:25:51
and its president, but also evidence of him being increasingly
1:25:55
desperate. He's desperate. He's going to. He's so desperate. He
1:25:59
knows and sees that he's losing over 40,000 of his
1:26:02
own people. Yeah, what are you losing over there? That
1:26:05
was seriously wounded. a month leading up to the 1.2
1:26:09
million. The Russians have now lost or seriously wounded since
1:26:12
the start of the war. Evidence that we have to
1:26:15
be serious about what Russia is doing, but also acknowledging
1:26:18
that this is desperation. It's also panicky. It's panicky! It's
1:26:22
panicky! It's panicky, I tell you. So they have this
1:26:25
calendar. Now... There's been arson in different European countries, and
1:26:31
they're pinning it all on Russia. So apparently now, instead
1:26:34
of having people run through the streets and from house
1:26:38
to house to find the terrorists who are committing this
1:26:41
arson and doing all these in-NATO country terrorist attacks... They're
1:26:47
just using it to make you believe that Russia is
1:26:49
doing it. Well, the warnings come after increasingly hostile rhetoric
1:26:53
from Moscow and what appears to be a sabotage campaign
1:26:57
across Europe this summer with military and defense sites as
1:27:01
the prime targets. Listen to this, Danny. You'll appreciate this
1:27:04
production. On the 4th of August, the first drone carrying
1:27:08
an explosive device at Leipzig Airport in Germany is discovered.
1:27:12
Six days later, a major fire breaks out at a
1:27:14
defense warehouse in Bulgaria. Previous blasts at the company's facilities
1:27:19
were investigated for links to Russia. On the 13th of
1:27:22
August, a fire at KNDS Ammo outside Rome triggers a
1:27:26
large explosion. The local prosecutor is looking into outside interference.
1:27:30
Two days later, a robotics factory in Tallinn that supplies
1:27:34
drones to Ukraine goes up in flames. On the 25th
1:27:36
of August, an arson attack on a Ukrainian-owned drone manufacturer
1:27:40
is narrowly avoided. And on the 30th of August, two
1:27:43
more fires are reported in Poland. One of them was
1:27:46
an attack on a drone producer. A masked man was
1:27:50
caught throwing incendiary devices on CCTV. The Polish Prime Minister
1:27:54
called it a continuation of Russia's escalatory activities. A month
1:27:58
after drones packed with explosives were found at Leipzig airport,
1:28:01
Germany declared that Russia was responsible. Putin, as always, demanded
1:28:06
proof and his officials called the accusation absurd. It was
1:28:10
dynamite. It sounds like a pitch for a movie. It's
1:28:12
like a beach. Exactly. And they got the two voices
1:28:16
going back and forth, and they mentioned the Leipzig drone
1:28:19
twice. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good. Okay, who's going
1:28:22
to play Putin? Put that in there. Who's going to
1:28:24
play Putin? Still one of my favorite movies is… Wag
1:28:30
the dog. Wag the dog. Which DeLuca oversaw that. Oh,
1:28:34
really? Your boy DeLuca? Yeah, he was ahead of New
1:28:37
Line when that movie was made. It still holds true.
1:28:42
I mean, it's still so good. But this is the
1:28:44
Poland playbook. Where have you heard that before? I'm trying
1:28:46
to think. Was it 1940, maybe? It's like we've heard
1:28:51
all this. And so now we go to Fifi Lagarde,
1:28:55
who runs the European Central Bank. And she slipped something
1:28:59
in. You know, they've been talking about the digital euro,
1:29:02
the digital euro, which they they desperately need the digital
1:29:06
euro to. to reset their whole monetary system. Just declare
1:29:11
it bankrupt, and then here's your digital money. This is
1:29:14
what they accuse Trump of doing, which he's doing the
1:29:17
stablecoin gambit, which is something different. It's expanding our debt
1:29:22
to the rest of the world with here's your dollars.
1:29:24
Here's your digital dollars. It's not even going to be
1:29:26
for us. It's for the rest of the world. But
1:29:29
Lagarde is – teeing up for this. And I mean,
1:29:33
my daughter's in Holland, so I hope that they don't
1:29:35
have some kind of kinetic war breaking out. And it
1:29:38
probably won't be, but they're really pushing it. And they're
1:29:41
going to have to have some kind of event to
1:29:43
bring in the digital euro, which is already here now
1:29:46
today. To expect a few things and to explain a
1:29:50
few things. So what, What did I announce? I announced
1:29:55
that on Monday, the 21st of September, it will be
1:30:00
the close of the survey that we have launched about
1:30:05
three months ago now for Europeans, including Irish people, please.
1:30:10
to express their views about the future banknotes that we
1:30:13
will have throughout. A little snide remark there at the
1:30:16
Irish, because the Irish were the ones who voted against
1:30:19
the Lisbon Treaty. Yeah, hello you Irish. Remember we made
1:30:23
you take the Lisbon Treaty vote over because you voted
1:30:25
wrong? Please, we don't want to have to do that
1:30:27
again. For Europeans, including Irish people, please... to express their
1:30:32
views about the future banknotes That we will have throughout
1:30:36
Europe. This is Monday, end of the survey. You still
1:30:39
have a chance to actually express views as to which
1:30:42
series of banknotes you are looking forward to. Now, this
1:30:47
is very interesting because, first of all, I looked at
1:30:50
the banknotes and you essentially have two choices. One with
1:30:54
European luminaries on it like EFTA. Michael Angelo, some other
1:30:59
woman who I couldn't recognize from the picture, or birds.
1:31:04
Literally, your choices are birds or people. But when you
1:31:08
introduce new banknotes, you know what has to happen? The
1:31:12
old banknotes have to go away. This is not lost
1:31:17
on me. This is a way to finagle the money.
1:31:22
It's like, well, we've got to print new banknotes. Well,
1:31:24
what is new banknotes? It's printing money. So new money
1:31:27
has to come into the system. They've done this several
1:31:29
times. They've done it with the Deutschmark. They did it
1:31:32
with the euro in general. Everybody had to. Get rid
1:31:35
of their guilders, their franks, etc. And their pounds. No,
1:31:38
no. Oh, yeah, that's right, the poundsters. No, the city
1:31:42
of London never did that. They're not going to give
1:31:44
up their pounds. No, no. That's their financial power. They
1:31:48
never did that, even though they joined the European Union.
1:31:51
But here it comes. Announcement number one. Announcement number two.
1:31:55
Monday, 21st of September, we will launch Pontes. Now, Pontes
1:32:00
is... To summarize it quickly for you, it's digital euro
1:32:05
made available for banks so that they can transact amongst
1:32:10
themselves using tokenized assets and distributed ledger technology. Complicated on
1:32:16
the face of it, for them it's rather simple and
1:32:19
they know that they can operate. without friction and that
1:32:23
it's a journey that they have to embark upon. Now,
1:32:26
at the end of the journey, we continue to work
1:32:28
and more will be developed, but it's beginning on Monday.
1:32:32
There you go. Digital euro is now being used between
1:32:35
banks. So that's it. They're ready. Beginning Monday. They're teeing
1:32:39
everything up. The question is, when something goes down, when
1:32:44
there's like, okay, this was Russia, clearly they attacked us,
1:32:48
this drone that has Russian letters on it, is the
1:32:51
United States going to be asked to jump in under
1:32:56
Article 5 of NATO? Which I think Trump would say,
1:33:01
no, I don't think so. No. At least I would
1:33:03
hope he wouldn't. But I am concerned about it. I'm
1:33:09
really, I'm concerned that they're just going nuts. Yeah. I've
1:33:18
got nothing else to say on that. All right. Well,
1:33:20
ball is in your court, in your half court, sir.
1:33:23
It's in my court. Half court. Half court. Where would
1:33:26
you like to go? Would you like some more politics?
1:33:28
Lesbian mask ban. Hello. Hello. All right. So let me
1:33:31
tell you about this. Oh, man. I could not. See,
1:33:35
I don't listen to the clips, and I'm like, okay,
1:33:38
lesbian mask ban, that's got to be something good. And
1:33:41
it's only three minutes long, so okay. All right. So
1:33:44
let me preface. I could not find a clip on
1:33:48
this. I saw it. There was a couple of other
1:33:52
podcasters that talked about it, but this one sums it
1:33:55
up the best. It was an article in the Boston
1:33:58
Globe, I believe. And I apologize. Oh, no. You didn't
1:34:02
have an AI read it, did you? No, I didn't
1:34:05
do that. Thank God. Thank God. But it is a
1:34:07
TikToker or YouTuber or something. And we can stop through
1:34:12
this because I think we need to laugh a little
1:34:14
bit, but it just shows some absolute lunacy. So go
1:34:17
ahead and play it, and then we can interrupt it
1:34:19
or just let it roll. There it is. is a
1:34:21
lesbian bar who for the last six years has required
1:34:26
N95 masks and they just announced that for one night
1:34:29
a week only they will be lifting the mask mandate
1:34:33
to instead allow for optional N95 masks they announced this
1:34:37
on Instagram it is with love we informed our immunocompromised
1:34:40
disabled divas that we will be open Saturday nights as
1:34:44
mask optional. And their patrons lost their ever-loving minds. Just
1:34:49
say you're complicit in a mask disabling event and get
1:34:52
over with it. People like you kill disabled people in
1:34:55
the name of your own leisure and convenience. Hope your
1:34:58
venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of
1:35:03
their Saturday play. Yeah, this is great. This is great.
1:35:06
So does this not sound similar to the Paramount clip,
1:35:11
the news clip that I played, where they're now attacking
1:35:13
Newsome and Bonta and Karen Bass? Yeah. And so they're
1:35:18
starting to eat their own. So continue with this, because
1:35:22
they're now – so as you – this was a
1:35:25
– I don't know if she goes into it, but
1:35:27
the playbook. was losing money and so they was like
1:35:31
okay let's one night Remove the mask so we can
1:35:34
get some more customers in here. Continue. Just to scrape
1:35:39
extra revenue from ableists, I guess every lesbian in the
1:35:43
greater Greenfield, Massachusetts area is also disabled and immunocompromised. People
1:35:49
running the bar start getting accused by their own customers
1:35:52
of being eugenicists. Take care. and apologize as what often
1:35:55
does to the woke mob but meanwhile this town hasn't
1:35:58
reported a single covid case in months their apology while
1:36:03
demanded was not well received and they got angry that
1:36:06
this post on instagram was not properly captioned for people
1:36:10
who may be visually impaired so there was a whole
1:36:13
new round of allegations it sounds like it sounds like
1:36:16
a Saturday Night Live skit or parody, but this is
1:36:19
all real. It just shows you the insanity of some
1:36:22
of these people. Keep going. This is Massachusetts. It gets
1:36:28
better. They bring in a therapist. Keep going. There's the
1:36:31
unbelievably woke three individuals who opened up this bar. One
1:36:35
of the trio is a drag performer who uses it,
1:36:38
its pronouns, and envisioned a bar for transsexual. gender freaks,
1:36:43
workers, and their friends. Notably, the police are not welcome
1:36:47
inside of this building, but poor and unhoused people are
1:36:51
welcome. And they decided that you would never be turned
1:36:53
away if you couldn't afford anything. So incidentally, there are
1:36:56
now tens of thousands of dollars in debt. One of
1:36:59
the founders has now left to pursue an education in
1:37:02
clown school. Please. too preferable to become a clown professionally.
1:37:07
But the one founder, who still is remaining, decided to
1:37:10
try to appease their customers. So she hosted a three
1:37:13
and a half hour meeting where angry customers could come
1:37:17
and voice their concerns mediated by a licensed therapist. There
1:37:21
were people who called in virtually to the meeting. And
1:37:23
she says, we really want to prioritize the people who
1:37:25
are here. And because the therapist said that, the therapist
1:37:28
was then accused of being ableist. It's messed up that
1:37:31
the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility.
1:37:36
Not only was the therapist ableist, she was white. The
1:37:39
biggest cardinal said of all. I'm hearing a white therapist
1:37:42
centering the feelings of a majority white and white-adjacent staff.
1:37:46
Hey, hey, hey, we are non-practicing whites here in the
1:37:50
No Agenda Show. So we take offense to this. And
1:37:52
they remember this mediator is a licensed therapist, which makes
1:37:55
her a mandatory reporter in situations like assault which basically
1:37:59
makes you a police officer so evil all this because
1:38:03
it is now optional one night a week in the
1:38:06
year of our lord 2026 to wear an n95 mask
1:38:10
to a communist lesbian bar you know i i gotta
1:38:14
tell you i'm still amazed when we flew to holland
1:38:18
This last trip and we were no, we were in
1:38:20
Holland. I'm sorry, we're in Holland and we want to
1:38:23
fly back and we're looking for the KLM lounge. And
1:38:26
this guy from Austin because of a direct flight to
1:38:29
Austin, you know, we're looking at the information thing and
1:38:33
you scan a QR code and it was completely useless.
1:38:37
And he comes up and he's wearing a mask like,
1:38:39
are you looking for the lounge? Yeah, yeah, we're looking
1:38:43
for the. And so we found it, but we just
1:38:46
walked fast away from like, what is wrong with you?
1:38:52
And there's so many people still wearing masks in Austin.
1:38:55
It's crazy. I think some of them wear the mask
1:39:00
just to hide their ugly faces or that they don't
1:39:03
have to, like... do their makeup or whatever, that they
1:39:08
just kind of... Not this guy. Not this guy. Yeah,
1:39:11
yeah. No, I think the majority of them still are
1:39:13
deathly scared of COVID. Yeah, it just shows you the
1:39:18
media op of how well and how effective it was.
1:39:22
It has people completely, as she said, in 2026, we're
1:39:25
still... Have people masked up. And it's not just on
1:39:30
the left. This is from Fox. This is that Dr.
1:39:34
Siegel who always used to be on with Tucker. And
1:39:37
listen to this about measles. A 40-year-old Pennsylvania woman is
1:39:42
the latest to die from measles complications. Measles complications. Okay.
1:39:47
What did you have? How many people have died of
1:39:49
measles and they're making such a... Oh, it gets so
1:39:52
much better. It gets so much better. The spotlight on
1:39:55
the risks of the highly contagious virus. The CDC says
1:39:58
more than... 3,000 cases have been reported nationwide this year,
1:40:01
with some who were vaccinated even testing positive. Health officials
1:40:05
are urging people to know the warning signs and to
1:40:07
make sure they're protected. Know the warning signs? Like dots
1:40:10
on your face? A warning sign! Here to discuss this
1:40:13
on Medical Monday is... Medical Monday! Woo! Hey, created by
1:40:18
Dana Brunetti. Hey! Senior medical analyst, Dr. Mark Siegel. Dr.
1:40:23
Siegel, great to see you. Good to see you. Why
1:40:25
is this happening and why is it so contagious? Well,
1:40:27
it's over 700 cases in Pennsylvania alone, over 3,000 cases
1:40:32
in the United States over the past year. We're going
1:40:35
to lose our elimination status, meaning that we could spread
1:40:39
cases here without it being travel linked. That's what's happening.
1:40:42
The reason it's happening is because our overall vaccination rate
1:40:46
against measles is dropping down. It's supposed to be 95%
1:40:50
or above in order to prevent spread, because not everybody
1:40:53
can get the vaccine. Immunocompromised pregnant women, very, very young
1:40:58
children can't get the vaccine. So you have to protect
1:41:01
them by having a ring immunity around them. because this
1:41:04
is the most contagious respiratory virus on the planet. Most
1:41:08
contagious respiratory virus on the planet. The vaccine. How many
1:41:13
people have died? This one lady, apparently is 97 percent
1:41:18
effective. Oh, here we go. It's 97 percent effective. So
1:41:23
if everyone was. Did she have the vaccine? Do we
1:41:26
know that? Who? The lady? No. Well, the lady who
1:41:29
died. Wait for it. Second clip coming up. Here we
1:41:32
go. But what is alarming, four fully vaccinated people tested
1:41:35
positive for measles, three adults and one child. This is
1:41:39
so alarming. Fully vaccinated, safe and effective. Yet it's not
1:41:43
working. What's the point of the vaccine if they're still
1:41:47
getting measles? Well, I'm glad. Oh, I'm glad. Hey, hey.
1:41:51
There you go. What happens if you're fully vaccinated and
1:41:54
you get the measles? I don't find that alarming. I'll
1:41:56
tell you why. It's not alarming. As long as you're
1:41:59
vaccinated, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I'm not
1:42:02
alarmed by that. I just need to get vaccinated. Oh,
1:42:04
that's okay. 97%. They're in the 3%. that are uncovered,
1:42:09
that got it, it didn't work. It didn't quite hold.
1:42:11
It didn't quite hold. It didn't quite hold. It didn't
1:42:14
quite hold. This is so good. This is so good.
1:42:17
The good news is they're much, much, much less likely
1:42:20
to get severely ill or to get... Oh, you won't
1:42:22
have to... Yes. A deja vu, man. Yes. This is
1:42:25
deja vu. It almost sounds like Fauci. Yeah, you won't
1:42:29
have to go to the hospital. You won't get severely
1:42:31
ill. You'll still get it because, you know, vaccine is
1:42:33
supposed to, like, inoculate you, but no. Hospitalized. They're just
1:42:37
going to have mild cases almost across the board. So
1:42:40
the vaccine does something, but it doesn't prevent them from
1:42:42
getting it. It does something. Yeah, it does. puts money
1:42:46
in the pharmaceutical industry's pockets, but it does something. In
1:42:49
that 3%, those four people, So fewer complications if you
1:42:54
are vaccinated. Are we seeing anyone dying from the measles
1:42:57
if they're vaccinated and they get it? Are we seeing
1:42:59
anybody dying from the vaccine? Thank you. That can happen.
1:43:04
It can happen. But, you know, you don't have to
1:43:06
go to the hospital. It's not going to be a
1:43:08
very severe case, but it can happen. From the measles
1:43:11
if they're vaccinated and they get it? I haven't. seen
1:43:14
that. That can happen. Again, you could have an idiosyncratic
1:43:18
reaction, or you could have really be immunocompromised. And you
1:43:22
might have had the measles vaccine. I wonder if they
1:43:24
wear a mask at a lesbian bar. But still get
1:43:27
sick when you're immunocompromised. Very unlikely anyone would die if
1:43:30
they had this vaccine. I'm a huge proponent of this
1:43:32
vaccine. We can tell that. huge proponent. I know you
1:43:36
are. It would be devastating if your child died. Oh,
1:43:38
here we go. Now it would be devastating if your
1:43:43
child died. Yeah, he'd tease her up. She punches it
1:43:46
home. I know. I know you are. It would be
1:43:48
devastating if your child died and you didn't vaccinate your
1:43:51
child and your child got the measles and died. How
1:43:54
old does a child need to be when they are
1:43:56
eligible for this shot. Well, they get it around the
1:43:59
age of one and then they get it right before
1:44:01
kindergarten, the second shot. So that's the whole thing. We
1:44:04
put emphasis on getting that second shot before kindergarten. 93%
1:44:08
though with the one shot. No! 97% of it. One
1:44:11
shot's only 93%. 93, it's a 4% difference. You gotta
1:44:15
get two. Effective with both. Should we... start vaccinating is
1:44:19
there i'm sure there's a reason we wait until they're
1:44:20
one years old but could we vaccinate earlier than a
1:44:23
jabbermarlay let's do it right when they're born right out
1:44:26
of the womb right into right into that soft spot
1:44:29
on the top of their head jam it in why
1:44:31
wait until they're born let's do it in the womb
1:44:33
in the womb yes nine months and above because we
1:44:35
have to wait until the immune system is built up
1:44:38
right you know and a lot of people are going
1:44:39
to be able to A lot of this is occurring
1:44:40
because people don't understand how long this vaccine's been around,
1:44:44
how safe it is, and how dangerous measles can be.
1:44:48
One out of five unvaccinated people end up in the
1:44:51
hospital for measles. And that's a problem. You can get
1:44:55
pneumonia. Yes, sir. What? Somebody please think of the
1:45:00
And just as an honorary nod to JCD, we will
1:45:05
play the Brady Bunch Gets the Measles clip. Hi. Peter!
1:45:11
What are you doing home from school? They sent me
1:45:13
home. Measles. Now, see, their measles are a strange case
1:45:17
of red freckles. You have got a temperature. They told
1:45:20
me, 101.1. What's the record? Never mind. Are you sure
1:45:25
it's the measles? Well, he's certainly got all the symptoms.
1:45:28
A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great
1:45:30
big smile. Well, A great big smile. No school for
1:45:33
a few days. Say hello to my dotted son for
1:45:35
me. Tell him I'll bring him some comic books and
1:45:37
I'll see you later, dear. Okay, honey. Bye. Boy, this
1:45:40
is the life, isn't it? Yeah. If you have to
1:45:42
get sick, you sure can't beat the measles. That's right.
1:45:45
No medicine. Inside or out. Like shots, I mean. Don't
1:45:48
even mention shots. Yes! Measles. Measles. Measles. Well, all the
1:45:57
kids have now had the measles. So have I. Well,
1:45:59
I had them years ago. Looks like the Bradys are
1:46:01
finished with the measles. Hold it. You're not through yet.
1:46:13
Alice, don't tell me you're coming down with the measles.
1:46:16
Oh, I hope so. I'd hate to think I was
1:46:18
just learning how to blush at my age. Man, where
1:46:21
did we go wrong? They're even saying, who wants a
1:46:24
shot? No one wants a shot. Ew, ew, no one
1:46:27
wants a shot. This is, we've gone nuts. completely nuts
1:46:32
uh where where you want to go next on this
1:46:35
let's stay with uh medication and glp1 Okay. Does it
1:46:42
need set up or is it self-explanatory? Yeah. There are
1:46:46
now dozens of lawsuits filed in the U.S. against the
1:46:49
makers of Ozempic, Wagovi, and Zepbound claiming that these GLP-1
1:46:53
drugs led to a rare type of vision loss. In
1:46:55
one complaint, a 53-year-old Pennsylvania woman says she was prescribed
1:46:59
Ozempic to help treat her type 2 diabetes. She alleges
1:47:02
that within six months, she developed vision loss in her
1:47:05
right eye and asked her to do it. as a
1:47:07
result, struggles to perform daily tasks like driving and reading.
1:47:11
Novo Nordisk, which is the maker of Ozempic and Wigobi,
1:47:13
said that they take all reports of adverse events very
1:47:17
seriously and push back on the claims, saying the personal
1:47:20
injury lawsuits filed in the U.S. are without merit. Eli
1:47:23
Lilly, which makes up bounds, said patient safety is the
1:47:25
top priority and actively monitors, evaluates and reports. safety information.
1:47:29
Now, the medical evidence on this is mixed. One recent
1:47:32
analysis found there may be a small increased risk for
1:47:35
people with type 2 diabetes to develop a vision problem
1:47:37
if they're taking GLP-1. Literally, GLP-1 was literally designed for
1:47:42
people with type 2 diabetes. This is great. There may
1:47:45
be a small increased risk for people with type 2
1:47:48
diabetes to develop a vision problem if they're taking GLP-1s,
1:47:51
but it didn't prove positive. You can stop it there.
1:47:53
So do you think that it's people with diabetes, they've
1:47:56
been taking it longer than everybody has been taking it
1:47:59
for weight loss, right? Right. Let me just tell you,
1:48:03
suitsandboots.com. And Rob, the constitutional lawyer, is part of these
1:48:09
lawsuits on behalf of his clients, some of them from
1:48:13
no agenda, actually. So if you have experienced vision loss,
1:48:16
go with the guys who will get you the most
1:48:19
money. That's right. They're talking big bucks bonanza. Go to
1:48:23
suitsandboots.com. Wait, now how much is J. Cal getting per
1:48:27
commercial? Six grand? Can you believe it? I believe it.
1:48:30
I'm sure it's true. Yeah, I believe it too. So
1:48:33
Rob, the constitutional lawyer, I think he has a bill
1:48:35
coming to him. No, no. Because that was a great
1:48:37
read. No, he does free work for me. All my
1:48:39
lawsuits. he takes care of you your family Curry we
1:48:46
take care of you I thought Rob and him were
1:48:52
the same at first if they had a baby that
1:48:57
would be fantastic for sure yeah Apparently, it's possible. Men
1:49:02
can get pregnant now. Yes. I know. But is Tina
1:49:06
talking about peptides? Because I've noticed this with all women.
1:49:12
They're talking to each other like it's Botox and all
1:49:15
the other that they're always going around. Yes. Like they
1:49:17
want to get there. Yes. And I'm constantly… complaining to
1:49:21
my wife, do not do that, don't do it. I
1:49:24
am so with you. So yes, it goes like this.
1:49:26
Because of course, all women... do Botox and is literally
1:49:31
there but Alex I she did it one time her
1:49:34
lips blew up and I said well I told you
1:49:36
she's 12 stop it she's not that young she is
1:49:38
a lot younger than me but not okay well Tina
1:49:41
would be the first to tell you she's been doing
1:49:43
Botox for 20 years and and you know she snagged
1:49:47
me so good job but it is that is literally
1:49:50
And these Botox ladies, you know, they're in hair salons.
1:49:54
They're all over the place now. And they are the
1:49:56
ones saying, oh, you know, I've got the triple G
1:49:59
now. I've got this. I've got the, you know, the
1:50:01
what is it called? Like the vampires. There's all these
1:50:04
different names for it. And I know friends of ours.
1:50:09
like oh yeah no we're just micro dosing it okay
1:50:11
well that's micro dosing was it shrooms or weed micro
1:50:15
dosing it but they get well you know we get
1:50:17
it from from this person that person's brother is a
1:50:21
doctor so it's all okay i think this is the
1:50:23
most dangerous thing ever i yeah and tina won't do
1:50:26
it she's like no i'm not going to do any
1:50:28
of this even though she's a real workout-aholic. She's in
1:50:32
the gym every day. She walks two miles every day.
1:50:36
What's that have to do with that, though? Because the
1:50:38
people who work out are the ones that want this,
1:50:41
because this triple G stuff or whatever it's called, when
1:50:44
you work out... it makes you jacked. It just makes
1:50:48
you jacked. So the gym rats has a lot of
1:50:52
this going on. But that I find hilarious because they're
1:50:56
actually putting in the work and losing the weight. No,
1:51:00
they want to be... It's aesthetics, man. It's aesthetics. I'm
1:51:04
with you. I'll just be a wimpy, wiry six foot
1:51:08
five dude with Tourette's. You know, it's like, I'm amazed
1:51:11
that I got a wife, actually, when I think about
1:51:13
it. I'm constantly battling with Alex about it because it's
1:51:18
all of her friends. They're all on a Zimpik or
1:51:21
whatever the latest thing is. We just – a good
1:51:24
friend of mine, Katie Cassidy, was just here at the
1:51:27
ranch for a few days and was talking to Alex.
1:51:30
Name drop. Who's Katie Cassidy? Name drop. Who is she?
1:51:33
Should we know her? Yeah. Um, she's an actress. Yeah,
1:51:37
she's actually an ex-girlfriend of mine. Oh, a model actress.
1:51:42
Nice. I'm not a model actress. Okay. I mean... Alex
1:51:45
modeled as well. I don't know. It's just, you know.
1:51:48
Anyways, we're getting to work. I nailed you. Admit it.
1:51:52
I nailed you on name dropping. Okay. So Katie dropped
1:51:55
by the ranch. Yeah. So she was talking about some
1:52:00
shampoo with peptides in it. And I'm like, are you
1:52:04
kidding? And she wasn't. And Alex was like, oh, I
1:52:06
got to get that. I'm like, you are not –
1:52:08
you don't use any of that. And then it just
1:52:10
started this whole discussion back and forth about – But
1:52:14
that's how it always goes. And they're like, oh, she's
1:52:16
doing it. And I should try it and look at
1:52:18
her. And Alex did do it one time. I have
1:52:22
the funniest picture, not peptides or GLP-1, but when we
1:52:25
lived in L.A. still. She got Botox for her lips.
1:52:29
And she had a adverse reaction to it and her
1:52:32
lips blew up like a clown. It was hilarious. I'm
1:52:36
like, I told you this stuff is not good. No,
1:52:38
she shouldn't be putting Botox in her lips. That's for
1:52:41
whatever. And now that's something. She did. I don't know.
1:52:45
She did filler. That's another thing. I'm so against my
1:52:49
all of them against any of that stuff. It's it's
1:52:52
none of it's good. Monty 83 in the troll room
1:52:56
had a very good point. Triple G G G G
1:52:59
six six six. Six, six, six, yeah. Okay, good point.
1:53:07
Yes, it actually is developed by Eli Lilly, but it's
1:53:17
retro-true-dide. Yeah. Red Todd Trudy. People will email me and
1:53:26
they will go off their, you don't know what you're
1:53:29
talking about, Curry. My life has changed. I feel great
1:53:31
when I get up in the morning. Well, I feel
1:53:33
great too. Yeah, but my whole thing, too, is it's
1:53:38
so new and hasn't properly been tested. That was my
1:53:42
point about these people that have diabetes is who they're
1:53:45
talking about with the lawsuits now. Yeah. And it's like
1:53:49
they've been using it longer. So I think there's going
1:53:53
to be a whole cascade, and Rob, the constitutional lawyer,
1:53:55
if he's representing people for this, I think he's going
1:53:58
to have a good business for a while. Yes, suitsandboots.com.
1:54:01
I'm telling you. Another six grand. He always said, hey,
1:54:05
man, you know, we work together and we'd make a
1:54:07
bundle on this stuff. I'll send them to you for
1:54:10
free, brother. I'll send them to you for free. You're
1:54:12
doing it wrong. I heard you complaining to J-Cow about
1:54:15
all, you know, all this different thing. See, you're doing
1:54:18
it wrong. I know. I do it wrong all the
1:54:19
time. It's not my job. My job is this. This
1:54:23
is my job. Welcome to my life. All right. You
1:54:27
want to do one or two more? Do you want
1:54:28
to stay for the donations? Yeah, I saw some people.
1:54:32
I don't have the donation, but I can comment and
1:54:35
just be the peanut gallery. Yeah, that'd be good. That'd
1:54:38
be good. Thank you. All right. So let's I have
1:54:40
a couple. I thought that I tailored these for you
1:54:43
since they have to do with aircraft. Let's start with
1:54:47
Hilly Pad first. Uh, hold on a second. Where is
1:54:52
this? Um... helipad was it under Trump maybe we say
1:54:59
helipad but you say helipad we ordered a number of
1:55:05
Sikorskis as the helicopters back and forth well they're about
1:55:09
two and a half times more powerful than the old
1:55:12
ones And when you land on the grass, it's not
1:55:15
that the grass gets discolored. It gets ripped out. Ripped
1:55:19
out. And it was all over it. They landed it
1:55:23
once. And nobody planned for this. This was a little
1:55:26
bit of a planning mistake. So they landed the helicopter
1:55:30
and half of the grass was sitting in front of
1:55:33
the Oval Office front door. The rest of it was
1:55:35
scattered all over the... I mean, literally, it didn't singe
1:55:38
it. It also singed it, by the way. But it
1:55:41
literally lifted... That's bull crap. Because of the power. It's
1:55:46
tremendous. The engines are on the top. It didn't singe
1:55:49
it. No. Oh, he's not talking about... Oh, you're talking
1:55:52
about this engine. Okay. Yeah, that's not true. He said,
1:55:53
well, we'll keep using the old helicopters when we have
1:55:57
to land at the White House. And for everything else,
1:56:00
we use the new helicopters. They said, that's a pretty
1:56:02
expensive deal. You wouldn't do that for your company. You'd
1:56:05
figure out an answer. So I said... Because I have
1:56:08
helicopters, and three of them. Woo! I said, because they've
1:56:12
been great for my business. I think they're incredible. So,
1:56:16
Sikorsky's. Sikorsky 76. And I always was lucky. I always
1:56:22
got helipads. Other people don't. Very hard to get. The
1:56:25
hardest thing to get is a helipad. It's true. Okay.
1:56:28
There's no harder zoning thing to get is a helipad.
1:56:31
All right. So I figured you would appreciate the hardest
1:56:36
thing to get as a hillipad because of your stories
1:56:39
with that. Yes. So I'll tell the story. January. 2000,
1:56:46
I want to say, yeah, January 2000, 2001. Huge fire
1:56:51
in a small fishing village, very famous fishing village in
1:56:56
a nightclub. Like 80 kids got severely burned. Holland isn't
1:57:02
all that big, but the nightclub is within… You know,
1:57:07
like 15 to 17 minute flying distance from the hospital
1:57:11
in Amsterdam where they have helicopters on the roof. The
1:57:15
burn center is in the north of Holland in Groningen.
1:57:19
And so these kids, you know, they're pulling these kids
1:57:22
out. It's a nightmare. You know, it's New Year's Eve.
1:57:24
These kids are burned. This kid's dying. The whole thing
1:57:27
is horrible. And the helicopters were not allowed to take
1:57:31
off because of noise abatement. They don't have the literal
1:57:36
license to take off after, I think, 7 p.m. from
1:57:39
the hospital. a rooftop and so they have to take
1:57:44
these burned kids by car that's a hour and a
1:57:47
half maybe two hour drive by ambulance of course not
1:57:51
enough ambulance the whole thing was horrible and so i
1:57:54
went to the mayor at the time pauline krika in
1:57:57
amsterdam i said i'm going to build a heliport And
1:58:00
I was in the helicopter business. I was throwing away
1:58:03
my money on helicopters. And I said, I'm going to
1:58:07
build a solar panels or something. Well, I also I
1:58:09
wanted it because it's very expensive to land at Schiphol
1:58:13
Airport. Landing fees like $400 just to land at the
1:58:16
at the airport. So you were saving some money. Well,
1:58:20
I was like, yeah, I was going to save some
1:58:21
dough. So I'm going to build a heliport. I want
1:58:24
the permit. I'll build it in the harbor. And I
1:58:27
will let the trauma helicopters stay there, take off, land
1:58:31
for free, no charge whatsoever. And so they said, yeah,
1:58:35
okay, they got it. One small problem, Mr. Curry. What's
1:58:38
that? Well, the spot you have mapped out, which is
1:58:41
the only logical spot, has a windmill next to it.
1:58:44
Then I'm not talking a Dutch windmill. I'm talking one
1:58:47
of those monster things that supposedly generates energy for your
1:58:50
Tesla. You have to move that. So I spent 100,000
1:58:56
euros to move the windmill to then have the heliport.
1:59:01
That's a deal. And then after that, everything went to
1:59:03
crap. My business partner turned out to be a crook.
1:59:07
He was wanted by the Scotland Yard. We had another
1:59:10
Augusta helicopter on order. I had to cancel that order,
1:59:13
$400,000 order. This is where all my money went, by
1:59:16
the way. And I wound up selling it for one
1:59:20
euro, $1. to an outfit called Heli Holland. They bought
1:59:25
it from me, of course. And to this day, the
1:59:29
trauma helicopters still don't use it. They use it for
1:59:34
one. There's only one purpose except for passenger use. They
1:59:39
use it to land with the... Baby seals they rescue.
1:59:46
That's what happened to my heliport. Good job. You're saving
1:59:50
all the baby seals. Yeah. But helicopters, not the ones
1:59:54
he's talking about or the ones that I have, but
1:59:57
I flew a lot of smaller helicopters. And we go...
2:00:00
my friend's place in Belgium or somewhere else. And we
2:00:03
just land in the, in the field next to the
2:00:05
house. We have to be very careful because you get
2:00:07
the, like I trained in Robinson R44s. So those things
2:00:12
are, well, this it's cheap for training. At least it
2:00:15
was, but they have the engine in the back mounted
2:00:19
on the back. You couldn't land in tall grass because
2:00:22
you can just look it up on YouTube. The number
2:00:24
of Robinson R-44s and R-22s that have caught fire because
2:00:29
they landed in grass. Landed in dry grass. And it
2:00:33
consumes the entire aircraft very quickly. The second thing you
2:00:37
have to watch out for is cows. Cows love helicopters.
2:00:41
Cows will come up and they make hamburger meat really
2:00:44
fast. No, no, no. You land there. So now you
2:00:47
got the short grass. You land in the field. The
2:00:49
cow, you got to watch it because the cows will
2:00:50
come over and they will tip the helicopter over. They
2:00:54
love rubbing against the helicopter and they push it over
2:00:57
time and time again. Oh, you mean after it's shut
2:00:59
down? Yeah. Not why it's running. Before the hamburger bit.
2:01:03
Yeah, exactly. So there's my helipads. This, by the way,
2:01:07
this is in the book, Dana. We just gave away
2:01:09
another beautiful piece. That's called a teaser. A teaser, yes.
2:01:13
A teaser for the book and for the movie. And
2:01:15
I have pictures. I have pictures. Coming out in 2031
2:01:19
or 32. No, dude, 2027. Oh, he better get cracking.
2:01:25
Thanksgiving 2027 Blockbuster. Paramount will be able to. I'm going
2:01:30
to have to get an AI, a better machine that
2:01:33
can run some. No, just call your buddy Elon. We'll
2:01:37
use his thing, his movie thing. It'll be fine. I'm
2:01:40
just going to have GrockBot make it. Just call Eli.
2:01:44
You have his number. You have his number. Tell me.
2:01:47
I used to. I don't have it anymore. J-Cal, I'm
2:01:50
sure, has it. Oh, yeah. We got to loop J-Cal
2:01:53
in on this. J-Cal. We'll give you points. We'll give
2:01:56
you points, J-Cal. We'll give you points after the money
2:02:01
points. And he won't get taxed by Cal. California. I'm
2:02:04
going to have to move there or set up an
2:02:06
entity there before we do this. And red carpet rights.
2:02:10
You get to walk the red carpet with us. And
2:02:12
we'll get you a ticket to the Oscars. Because we're
2:02:16
going to get nominated. Oh, we're going to win. We're
2:02:19
going to get nominated. This is going to be. Well,
2:02:21
you've got to get nominated before you can win. All
2:02:23
right. Call Harvey. Call Harvey. Carvey's indisposed. All right. One
2:02:30
more. One more. Do one more with me. This is
2:02:32
good. All right. We'll stay on the aircraft. And I
2:02:35
don't know why. I've been getting some ATC things popping
2:02:38
up. Oh. They're always funny because they're usually people like
2:02:41
the tower fighting with a pilot, and I find them
2:02:44
kind of amusing. But this one, because we were talking
2:02:47
about the last time I was on about horses and
2:02:49
how expensive they are, and I can relate to this.
2:02:51
So go ahead and play FedEx. And I do have
2:02:53
a question about your cargo. If you've got a second.
2:02:55
Okay. Okay, clear to land 5-right. Go ahead, PEDX3609. PEDX3609,
2:02:59
we were just kind of musing up here the horses.
2:03:03
Who ships horses, or are they here for the track,
2:03:05
or can you tell us, or do you know? This
2:03:07
one's joining up with four more, and they're going to
2:03:09
L.A. Is that a common—I mean, I know you guys
2:03:11
come in here with horses, but is that common for
2:03:13
people to be able to ship horses? Yeah, more than
2:03:16
you think. I 100% agree with that. Appreciate your information.
2:03:21
And for FedEx 360, I'm going to have you to
2:03:22
reaffirm five breaks. Clear to end. Clear to end. Thank
2:03:25
you. Yeah, do we like to roll out because if
2:03:26
we hit the brakes too hard, they have a tendency
2:03:28
to slip under, roll backwards. Yeah, I don't want any
2:03:31
of that. So it'll be your discretion. There's plenty of
2:03:33
space behind you. You can go to the end. Whatever
2:03:35
works for you. All right, thank you. You're welcome. Thanks
2:03:38
for the info. Zero record, Charlie. Learn something to do,
2:03:40
too. And PEDAC 3609, are they racehorses? So what we
2:03:43
have on board is the other ones are, I think,
2:03:45
are going to be jumpers. Okay, thank you. Okay, so
2:03:48
this was very nice inside information. Clearly, Alex ordered some
2:03:51
racehorses, some jumpers. No. And they were being flown to
2:03:55
your home in California. Yeah. Well, I would not be
2:03:59
surprised if we did have a horse on there because
2:04:01
they were going to L.A. and they are jumpers. And
2:04:05
that's what she gets. And her jumpers, they're warm blood.
2:04:10
So they either come from Belgium or Germany or different
2:04:12
places in Europe. And everyone's like, well, how do you
2:04:15
get them over? You put them on a boat or
2:04:16
something? Nope. And you FedEx them. That was a FedEx
2:04:20
plane, and they have a special plane that's just for
2:04:25
a portion of a cargo plane that has stables inside
2:04:28
of it. I know this because I once, this is
2:04:31
years ago, was on KLM. flying to the US from
2:04:35
the Netherlands. And I don't I remember how whatever it
2:04:40
was, they were going down. It was like half the
2:04:42
plane was filled with people. And there were horses. And
2:04:45
you're going down? No, the flight attendants were going down.
2:04:48
They were like taking pictures and stuff and going down
2:04:51
the stairs in the 747. What's going on? We got
2:04:54
horses down there. So, yeah, yeah, it's a thing. Yeah,
2:04:59
so, again, do not get into horses because it becomes
2:05:02
expensive very fast. You don't want to know what it
2:05:05
costs to FedEx a horse across the world. It's not
2:05:08
cheap. Somehow, somehow, I think everybody understands that, Dana. All
2:05:13
right, everybody, we're going to be right back with the
2:05:14
donations and Dana's tip of the day right after we
2:05:18
roll out another song that was too long to play
2:05:21
at the intro, but I think you'll enjoy it, Dana.
2:05:24
Bathroom break, everybody. Adam, cue that up. We got some
2:05:31
news to discuss. Uh. That you can't get on. Yeah,
2:05:47
yeah. Dana back in the chair, Hollywood in the rear,
2:05:52
Adam got a stack of clips, let's make it disappear,
2:05:54
headlines on fire, everybody got a take, half of them
2:05:57
are selling it, the other half is fake, roll tape,
2:06:00
hold up, run that back, funny how the story changes
2:06:03
when you follow the facts, Adam on the board with
2:06:06
a finger on plate, Dana knows a good production when
2:06:09
he sees one, okay. Okay. - House full of cars,
2:06:13
couple shades in the past. Race to Gran Turismo, yeah,
2:06:15
the resume's fast. No need to name drop, but the
2:06:18
man's been around. Knows a manufactured story when it comes
2:06:21
in the town. Adam and Dana, back on the mic.
2:06:25
News gets strange when you turn on the lights. Same
2:06:43
damn game. Now Dana got connections, that's what somebody said.
2:06:47
John C. David Rack's nephew. Wait, what? Yeah, that's what
2:06:50
I read. Don't check the family tree, don't ruin the
2:06:52
bit. JCD would hit that line and throw an absolute
2:06:55
fit. Cranky Uncle John saying, this is absurd. Then correct
2:06:59
your pronunciation and your choice of every word. That's pedigree,
2:07:02
baby. Put respect on the name. Even when the-- This
2:07:07
is the New York Times. Run it, run it twice
2:07:25
First time sounds good Not quite. Adam and Dana. Same
2:07:38
damn game. Just Adam Dana and a whole lot of
2:08:05
no agenda. Welcome back, nephew. Hey. Welcome back, nephew. Hey,
2:08:33
can you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. J. Cal
2:08:37
is talking smack in Twitter to me right now. What's
2:08:39
he saying? What is he saying? Because, you know, he's
2:08:42
coming Sunday. He's coming back on Sunday. Yeah, I know.
2:08:44
I got bumped for J-Cow. I get it. You didn't
2:08:47
get bumped. This is DEI, man. We got to have
2:08:50
the neurodivergent on as well. You know, it's not just
2:08:52
about you. The closeted liberal. I like him. I like
2:08:56
him. I think he's great, and I think you should
2:08:58
keep using him. He definitely brings in the crowd. But
2:09:00
I love a little friendly... friendly competition here. How long
2:09:04
are you going to just show up on this show,
2:09:06
man? It's like, I don't think. Who, me? Yeah, you.
2:09:09
Or J. Cal, who are you talking about? I'm talking
2:09:11
to you. I'm talking to you. J. Cal said I'm
2:09:13
doing a fine job as a second or third choice
2:09:15
in the rotation. Yeah. That's amazing. I told you, I'll
2:09:22
show up as long as I... How long are we
2:09:25
going to keep doing this? That's a good question. I
2:09:28
don't know. I mean, I feel like my season is
2:09:30
ending. My season is coming to end. Why? Because... Because...
2:09:36
I can never have a full partner on this show
2:09:39
unless it's a member of the Dvorak family. I am
2:09:41
a member of the Dvorak family. I'm his nephew. Yeah,
2:09:44
okay. Look, I even have the... I love you, ma'am.
2:09:52
I want to make a movie with you. I don't
2:09:54
want to do a podcast with you. Okay, well, we
2:09:56
got to get J. Cowan on the movie then, too,
2:09:59
because we need Elon's phone number to get in early
2:10:02
on the AI studio. Consider it done. He's already dialing.
2:10:06
I know he is. Hey, Elon. these guys are good
2:10:15
you just like house of cards you like house of
2:10:18
cards you know elon knows who i am we eli
2:10:22
knows who i am there no wait no he and
2:10:26
i used to hang out yeah i'm sure Sure. I
2:10:29
met him once. I met him once. Twice. You met
2:10:32
him once. Yeah. One time. One time. This will be
2:10:36
this will be in the book. Here's another teaser. One
2:10:38
time at one time I met Elon. No, I met
2:10:42
him twice. The first time. Hold on. Sir Bim Rose
2:10:45
in the troll room said Dana clearly wants a full
2:10:49
time job. That is not true. No. No, I don't
2:10:55
think – no one wants a full-time job. I need
2:10:57
a full-time job. No, so I met him at –
2:11:00
who was the guy who ran Sequoia Capital? Moritz. Mike
2:11:05
Moritz. He ran Sequoia Capital. They invested in Podshow, later
2:11:09
Mevio. Yeah. And he said, you got to meet this
2:11:13
guy. Come over. You know, all of our founders, all
2:11:16
of our founders, come on over to my house. You
2:11:18
know, Knob Hill, one of those huge mansions on the
2:11:22
hill, slanted hill. And there was Elon and he was
2:11:27
talking about Tesla and he was really introverted, like could
2:11:32
barely talk. Not at all. Like he's so articulate now.
2:11:37
It's almost like a different guy. I think he's had
2:11:38
some media training. Well, it wasn't even media. It was
2:11:41
just we're just hanging out having some shrimp cocktail. Yeah.
2:11:45
No, I hear you want me to give. Sorry, you
2:11:48
finish your story. OK, I'll finish my story. the second
2:11:51
time I'll finish my story we were with Roy Lane
2:11:56
Roy Lane Ray Lane I'm sorry Ray Lane he was
2:11:59
the president of Oracle under Ellison but he really ran
2:12:02
he was the like an operator so he really ran
2:12:05
Oracle and Ellison was kind of on his way out
2:12:08
at the time and Ray was one of the top
2:12:10
guys at Kleiner Perkins who had also invested in our
2:12:13
company we came to them by the way thanks to
2:12:16
steve jobs that's another story that's definitely in the book
2:12:19
and ray said hey we're going to go to the
2:12:21
launch of tesla in in los angeles and come with
2:12:25
me in my jet okay so he had a bombardier
2:12:29
brand new bombardier jet So we fly in. I don't
2:12:34
know if I don't think it was LAX. Was it
2:12:36
Burbank? It wasn't Burbank. Anyway, Santa Monica. It might have
2:12:40
been Santa Monica. And they had this. That's where they
2:12:42
did the unveiling. There it is. And so we roll
2:12:45
up and there's 15 private jets. Oh, that's Peter Thiel.
2:12:49
That's this guy. All these PayPal mafia guys, all their
2:12:54
jets were all parked in a row. And then they
2:12:57
had a big hangar and they had kind of a
2:13:00
track. And you could take a test drive in the
2:13:04
Tesla, which at the time was just a Lotus with
2:13:06
a battery in it. Yeah, I had one of those.
2:13:09
Of course. And you'd have somebody else. You weren't allowed
2:13:12
to drive. You'd be in the car with them, and
2:13:14
they would drive you around the track. And there was
2:13:17
a big LED scoreboard. And it showed everybody's name who
2:13:21
had bought one. Bought one. What are they, $125,000, I
2:13:25
think, at the time? I bought James Taylor's used. Wow.
2:13:31
I got to pick these names up. You mean James
2:13:34
Taylor, the guy who said F Facebook in your movie?
2:13:39
yeah by the way you had me so confused I'm
2:13:43
like because I my memory is going I'm like did
2:13:46
we have that scene and I'm like trying to I'm
2:13:48
like what scene is he talking and then you sent
2:13:50
me the letter of somebody that thought that I produced
2:13:53
Gran Torino the Clint Eastwood movie which is Gran Turismo
2:13:57
it's a completely different movie it's a lot of misinformation
2:14:01
in the world, baby. I'm telling you, a lot of
2:14:03
misinformation. Anyway, tell your Elon story, then we'll thank some
2:14:06
people who sent some value back to the show. I'll
2:14:08
just tell how I initially met him. I cold emailed
2:14:12
him and I... I said, I can't remember the email,
2:14:18
but basically like, I think that we should make a
2:14:20
movie about you because kids these days are looking up
2:14:24
to people like, Michael Jordan and Eminem, and I forgot
2:14:27
who else, but I think kids should be looking up
2:14:30
to somebody like you. This was before he was known.
2:14:33
The Tesla Model S had just come out. This was
2:14:36
years and years ago. And I just fired off this
2:14:38
cold email, and he replied. And he said, yeah, come
2:14:42
down and meet me for lunch. Let's have lunch at
2:14:44
SpaceX. So I went and had lunch with him at
2:14:47
SpaceX. And he was exactly as you describe, very awkward
2:14:51
and odd to talk to. But we we hit it
2:14:54
off and just ended up becoming coming friends and he
2:15:00
Said he didn't want to do a movie at the
2:15:01
time because he had a lot more to do. Clearly
2:15:03
that became true. And so he said it wasn't time
2:15:07
to make a film about him. And we just we
2:15:10
ended up becoming friends and spent a lot of time
2:15:12
with him. He was I remember taking him to a
2:15:15
CAA party one time and they went and let him
2:15:18
in and they didn't know who he was. And I
2:15:19
was like, are you kidding? This guy's like the Thomas
2:15:21
Edison of our time. Let this guy in and took
2:15:25
him into a CAA party and introduced him to, you
2:15:28
know, agents and managers and people there to set the
2:15:32
house. Actresses, say it, actresses. No, no, no, no. Ironically,
2:15:36
it was pretty funny because I remember a lot of
2:15:38
the agents, they were just too busy doing that and
2:15:40
talking to all the actors and actresses there and trying
2:15:43
to just smooze them and completely ignoring him. And it
2:15:47
was like the next day I started getting calls from
2:15:51
agents like, hey, was that, that was Elon Musk you
2:15:53
brought? Yeah. Can you get us in touch? Can you
2:15:58
Ironically, one of the guys I put him in touch
2:16:00
with was a large investor in SpaceX, and now it
2:16:06
made a fortune off of… Jason Calacanis. It was J-Cal.
2:16:09
No. J-Cal and I, we've never… Here, I'll tell you.
2:16:13
He and I never spoke. And if he's listening right
2:16:15
now, then pass him my number because we probably should.
2:16:18
No, bro. We DMed years and years and years ago
2:16:23
and had discussed about meeting up and grabbing lunch and
2:16:28
doing that usual. And we never actually connected. All right.
2:16:32
So what happened with the friendship? You don't even have
2:16:36
his number anymore. What happened? What friendship? With Elon. Elon.
2:16:40
We became friends. We're hanging out. With his phone number.
2:16:47
Honestly, I'm horrible. Even you, I don't save people's names
2:16:53
for the numbers. I just go back. You literally lost
2:16:56
his number. Yeah. But I occasionally would email me. with
2:17:02
him but i think i became more of a pain
2:17:04
in his ass because i was just emailing whenever i
2:17:06
had problems like my solar panels i was having issues
2:17:08
with that when they wouldn't install them on a standing
2:17:11
seam roof and then when you know the issue with
2:17:14
a power wall or something like so i was just
2:17:17
becoming an annoying friend you became that guy see i
2:17:20
have rogan i totally did i have rogan's number but
2:17:23
I don't text them. Because I always think, who are
2:17:27
the people who contact me and say... Oh, you know,
2:17:30
this or that. And I'm sure he's got a million
2:17:33
people like have me on. So I only text him
2:17:35
when I see him on TV in Washington. Like, hey,
2:17:38
I see you in the back. I see you with
2:17:40
Trump. That's awesome. And he always always going to. No,
2:17:43
no, he loves that. He always texts me back. I'm
2:17:45
going to wave to you. Here we go. he loved
2:17:49
he loved i never i never he was like you
2:17:51
need to go back on rogan it's like dude that's
2:17:53
not how it works you're like hey joe put me
2:17:56
on the show no it doesn't work that way i
2:17:58
am due though i'm due for another appearance i personally
2:18:02
think anyway yes you're you're due for another appearance for
2:18:07
what on rogan For what? Just to talk, to catch
2:18:10
up. But you can't just go on and talk to
2:18:15
catch up. You've got to be about promoting something or
2:18:17
the reason that you're there. No, I've never been on
2:18:20
there to promote something. He says, I like talking with
2:18:23
you. That's why he has me on. That's when you're
2:18:26
supposed to promote this show. Well, I always do, but
2:18:30
I'm going to say no, man. Wait until my movie's
2:18:33
coming out. There you go. That's what you're going on
2:18:36
for. Of course. Of course. All right. So here's how
2:18:39
it's going to happen. Okay. All right. So you and
2:18:42
I are going to keep working on this. We're going
2:18:44
to get with J-Cow. And then he's going to get
2:18:47
us back in with Elon to do the – we're
2:18:49
going to do the first AI movie. Yep, yep. Movie,
2:18:52
and the first release, and that's going to be the
2:18:56
big reveal on Brogan. It's going to be the blockbuster.
2:18:59
Yeah. You don't know about that. And then we're going
2:19:03
to sell it to Paramount, so it's part of one
2:19:06
of their 30. movies. Well, remember, I have the, I
2:19:10
got the Christian money guys in my back pocket. We
2:19:14
don't need them anymore with AI. We're good. But they
2:19:17
have top dollar. They just did that Young Washington deal.
2:19:21
They got money. Yeah, but with AI, do we need
2:19:24
it? Oh, and Scare-a-monger. We got to get Scare-a-monger in
2:19:27
on this as well. Scare-a-monger. Woo! Okay. Well, that's actually
2:19:35
not a bad idea. What you're saying there is-- -
2:19:36
I think we should open source all of this. We're
2:19:38
gonna write it in real time on X. - Yep,
2:19:41
yep, yep. - And you see, I used to write.
2:19:43
We're gonna build it in real time, just like everybody
2:19:46
when they're building software and everything and they're making, and
2:19:48
telling everybody what they're doing. - We're gonna do it,
2:19:50
no, we're gonna write it on GitHub. We're going to
2:19:52
have a GitHub. No, no, no. But we're going to
2:19:54
tell everybody what we're doing. We're going to tell the
2:19:57
people what we're doing on X, and then they can
2:19:59
go to GitHub. Yeah, they can go to GitHub to
2:20:01
get the size. And then we'll write a – we're
2:20:04
going to write a manual on how to make a
2:20:07
movie in AI. And here's a perfect example, and we're
2:20:10
going to brag about how much money we made doing
2:20:13
it. And I made $80 billion with this movie written
2:20:18
in AI and produced in AI. And here's how you
2:20:21
can, too. And then Apple is going to do a
2:20:24
deal with us. One of those deals like with, what's
2:20:27
his face? From the Beats headphones. Oh, Dr. Dre. Yeah,
2:20:32
we'll do a Dr. Dre type deal. No, no. Well,
2:20:35
yeah. Well, they're going to buy our formula. Yeah. and
2:20:43
then I'll go on Rogan and on Alex Jones to
2:20:45
promote it what could possibly go wrong this is great
2:20:48
you're putting a cart before the horse you've got to
2:20:51
do Alex Jones and Rogan before and then that's what's
2:20:54
going to make it success and that's going to build
2:20:56
it up so then we sell it to Apple and
2:21:00
it's going to be on the iPhone Duo 3 it
2:21:05
will come included Fold or whatever it's called the Duo
2:21:10
and wait you'll be able to create your own ending
2:21:13
of the movie Yeah. You could choose your ending. Adam
2:21:17
dies. Adam winds up a lonely old podcaster spitting in
2:21:22
the microphone. Or he winds up hobnobbing in California. There
2:21:27
you go. With JCD. It ends with you and John
2:21:30
sitting on the beach going, we did. Oh, my God.
2:21:34
Just as soon as I said that, my order. of
2:21:36
the ant thing just fell off my desk. Yeah. I
2:21:41
really am grateful that I know you. I don't know
2:21:45
how – this is a God thing. I just love
2:21:47
that we get to know each other. You've replaced –
2:21:50
what did I tell you before? I said I found
2:21:52
a new way, the time change when I can get
2:21:55
on the phone and talk with you. This is what
2:21:57
me and John did, and so we're just doing it
2:21:59
here on the show. Yeah, except with John, he had
2:22:01
a million. ideas and nothing came of it. I'm going
2:22:03
to make this happen. Oh, you're talking about the movie.
2:22:07
I'm just talking about me and you having a conversation.
2:22:09
The next time I do the show, I'm going to
2:22:11
take gummies. Deal. Oh, that would be interesting. But I'm
2:22:17
sure John always had some idea or something. We should
2:22:21
do this, do that. The only thing that he did
2:22:25
say that he and I should do a podcast, and
2:22:29
we did talk about it, and I think it was
2:22:31
titled Party Line. It was basically going to be him
2:22:34
and I on the phone. I wanted just to keep
2:22:36
it on the phone, and he didn't want to do
2:22:38
it on the phone because I wanted to be able
2:22:40
to do it from anywhere. And then we would just
2:22:43
call somebody. in and we would just shoot the shit
2:22:45
for however long it went and that was going to
2:22:47
be the podcast why didn't it happen because neither I
2:22:51
wasn't going to do it and do all the leg
2:22:54
work and he wasn't going to do all the leg
2:22:56
work and so we just ended up just talking to
2:22:58
each other and nothing ever happened you gotta love it
2:23:02
gotta love it All right. We're going for another record
2:23:06
with time. Yeah, we're going to do fine. Hey, I'll
2:23:11
sit here and chat all day if you want. Yeah,
2:23:13
that's what I like about you, man. You want to
2:23:15
play some more clips? Are we going to do tip
2:23:16
of the day? Or, you know what? You forgot my
2:23:19
new creation. What happened in this year in 1906? Show
2:23:24
number 1906. Oh, okay. Let me think. What happened in
2:23:28
this year in 1906? So we had 1902 was the
2:23:32
Wright brothers. Yeah. No, was it 1902? No, 1903, I
2:23:38
think. 1903. 1906. Um... Wasn't there a... You want a
2:23:48
hint? Yes, please. You had it last show, the last
2:23:52
time I asked you this. Edison's Electricity? Yeah. You think
2:23:59
I remember any of this crap that I talk about?
2:24:03
I don't need gummies to forget. It was a great
2:24:06
earthquake and fire of San Francisco. Right. The fire. I
2:24:10
was. OK, there you go. There you go. fire in
2:24:13
San Francisco. All right. We have a, when are we
2:24:15
doing tip of the day? No, hold on. I got
2:24:18
to thank some people first because it's a value for
2:24:20
value podcast. People support us by telling people about the
2:24:24
podcast. People support us by making end of show mixes,
2:24:28
making beginning of show mixes, making middle of show mixes
2:24:30
these days. Much to the chagrin of some, much to
2:24:33
the delight of others. I, really don't care. I think
2:24:36
it's fun. I like it. Um, People are having the
2:24:40
lyrics. It's all about the lyrics. It's not even so
2:24:42
much about the execution. It's about the lyrics. And, of
2:24:45
course, people also make artwork, the artwork for the previous
2:24:48
show, which we titled Nerd Balls. That was the one
2:24:50
with Jason Calacanis. I wasn't so fond of this one
2:24:53
myself, but there really wasn't a lot of choice. Geek
2:24:56
Girl made it as a cowboy wrangling all the different
2:24:59
AIs, you know. It was okay, Ranch 33, but it
2:25:03
was, yeah, I wish there was something better. Thank you,
2:25:06
Geek Girl, but it wasn't quite exactly what I had
2:25:09
hoped for, so hopefully it will get better for today's
2:25:11
show. And we always want to thank people who supported
2:25:13
us financially, time, talent, and treasure. You can always go
2:25:16
to noagendadonations.com, support the show. and we thank every sorry
2:25:22
I just blew it up the art generator I don't
2:25:26
want to look at it I'm sure it's great I'm
2:25:28
sure it's great you'll have to hang around after the
2:25:33
show help me choose the art and do the title
2:25:35
I don't know if I want to be part of
2:25:36
that you gotta be $50 and above we will thank
2:25:42
everybody and of course if you come in if you're
2:25:44
fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200
2:25:46
or more not only will we guaranteed read your note
2:25:49
but you also will get a associate executive producer credit,
2:25:53
which is real. Just ask Danny Brunetti. He's there on
2:25:55
imdb.com with all of the other No Agenda associate executive
2:25:59
producers or $300 and above and you become an executive
2:26:02
producer. And that goes for the following people who also
2:26:05
still, I guess, is the last trickle of Order of
2:26:09
the Ant. So we thank Mark Eller who came in
2:26:14
with 333.33 plus fees, has no notes. So, well, in
2:26:18
this case, I'll just have to give him a double
2:26:20
up, double up karma. You've got... Karma. Bad Bruce comes
2:26:27
in with $333.33 plus the fees. Switcheroo, he says, for
2:26:31
my smoking hot wife Katrina. 21 years and we never
2:26:35
had a fight. May she be as legendary a soldier
2:26:38
in the order of the ants as she is in
2:26:40
the Lord's army, taking dominion over those kitchen counter creeps
2:26:45
as mandated in Genesis 1, 26. I think that's where
2:26:48
we have dominion over them. Andrew McFadden, Order of the
2:26:52
Ants, which are you? Could you apply this Order of
2:26:55
the Ants to Cindy Bozek? She shares John's mission, and
2:26:59
I'd like to make it official. Thank you very much.
2:27:02
You got it. Tom Bushy, Order of the Ant, surveyor
2:27:05
of the northern and northwestern lakes. Scott North, Order of
2:27:09

2:27:11
my ongoing fight with those six legged bastards. Rest in
2:27:15
peace, JCD. Sir Matnick, Order of the Ants. These are
2:27:20
the last ones. Earlier today, I sent you my donation
2:27:23
in memory of JCD and his many years of contributions
2:27:26

2:27:38
for his lifetime of patronage to flip phones and squirrel
2:27:41

jingle? That just reminds me. Squirrel mail. Ah, squirrel mail.
2:27:53

2:28:05
Squirrel mail. Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop. MC's And
2:28:27
Sir Matnick continues, my meager donation is dwarfed by the
2:28:31
value I've gotten from JCD over the years. I love
2:28:33
listening to Jason Calacanis and Rob Dew, among others. You
2:28:37
are now among the others, Dan. Hey, hey, hey. As
2:28:40
hosts. And would again like to voice my support for
2:28:43
a Mimi Dvorak segment as well. Oh, she's coming. Hang
2:28:46
in there, Crackpot. I'm hoping to enjoy many more pods
2:28:49

2:29:08
the path. Glenn Bukowski from Sanford, Florida, 33333. And he

says, this donation brings me to knighthood. With the peerage
2:29:15
committee's approval, I would like to be knighted. Sir Glenn
2:29:18
of the drink. While the show will never be the
2:29:21
same without John C. Dvorak, God bless, the two episodes
2:29:24
with you and Jason Calacanis were excellent. Another one coming
2:29:26
Sunday. Thank you for keeping the No Agenda show going,
2:29:29
and I want to thank everyone who has assisted you
2:29:31

beliefs of oh so many. And I do miss Robert
2:31:28
very much. Adam, that's me saying that. Adam, you and
2:31:31
John have done the same in your own way with
2:31:33
irony, with boots on the ground through the years of
2:31:36
deconstructing everything the media told us. Deconstruction is the only
2:31:39
vaccine that works. For my nighting ceremony, I'd like a
2:31:43
bottle of bubbles and a Hugo Frikandel, the one of
2:31:47
which you actually know what's in it. Yeah, sure. It's

2:34:34
something, Dana? I was just letting you know where I
2:34:37
went and one of the advantages of living on a
2:34:39
ranch. I had to take a leak, so I just
2:34:41
stepped outside my office door. I saw this last night
2:34:45
on Ted Lasso. What? We followed Ted Lasso. I never
2:34:50
thought I wanted to watch Ted Lasso. I haven't watched
2:34:53
it, should I? Well, it's about football, about soccer. Yeah.
2:34:59
The premise is fun. Now, this season, they have a
2:35:01
female soccer team. Yeah. Anyway, there was a question in
2:35:07
there. It's like, where do you go to the... Where's
2:35:10
the bathroom? Wherever you go. Something like that. Behind that
2:35:13
tree. Exactly. Exactly. That's right. Order of the Ant. These

2:36:02
have the handsome order of the ant pin and certificate
2:36:05
there? I do. That's what I was talking about. Those
2:36:09
are my comrades with me in this order. That's what
2:36:12
I was talking about when I was talking about JCD.
2:36:14
I have it sitting up on my desk, and as
2:36:15
soon as I started talking about him, it fell off.
2:36:20
Coincidence? Read the book. Do you remember that infomercial? Do
2:36:25
you remember that one? Which one? It was like mysteries
2:36:28
of the universe. And we're like, is it a coincidence?
2:36:31
Ah, yeah. Read the book. It was a great pitch.
2:36:34
Read the book. What book was that? Yeah. Is it
2:36:36
Dianetics? No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me see.
2:36:41
Let me see. This is a very good question, actually.
2:36:44
Let me see. Let me see. Oh, you know what
2:36:47
we can do? We can ask the book of knowledge.
2:36:50
Ah. Okay, let's see if the book of knowledge. Yeah,
2:36:52
we haven't used it at all. We haven't. I feel
2:36:54
kind of bad. A book of knowledge. What infomercial always
2:36:57
ended with the tagline, read the book? All right, let's
2:37:01
see. Book of Knowledge has been a bit weird lately.
2:37:08
I hear a hum coming from the Book of Knowledge.

2:43:24
I mean it's I'm good with that There we go
2:43:27
everybody Hey it's time once again For the tip of
2:43:29
the day Done by its creator Great advice for you
2:43:34
and me Just the tip with JCD And sometimes Adam
2:43:40
Thank you. All right, Danny Brunetti with your tip of
2:43:43
the day. Okay, I actually have two. Oh, two for
2:43:46
it. The donations seem a little low, so I'm trying
2:43:49
to bring a little bit more content for the value.
2:43:55
All right, the first one I have is... Is, you
2:43:58
know, when you have to do security questions for like
2:44:00
bank stuff and your mother's maiden name, street you lived
2:44:04
on, your pet's name. Yep. Yeah. So the tip with
2:44:08
that is a lie. Don't ever tell the truth on
2:44:12
a security question. Yeah, but then you'll forget when you
2:44:15
need the security question. Well, you need to remember the
2:44:18
lie, but that's, I guess, part of the problem with
2:44:19
the lie. Why is this a tip? Why is this
2:44:22
a tip? Why is it a tip? Because if you
2:44:25
do use your mother's maiden name or your pet or
2:44:28
your street you grew up on – here, I'll give
2:44:30
you a perfect example just with those. Do you know
2:44:32
how you come up with a porn name? Yeah, I
2:44:36
forgot how to do this. There's different variations. There's your
2:44:40
soap opera name and your porn name. And they all
2:44:43
use the three things that you just said. Oh, that's
2:44:48
right. So I would be... Let me see my mother's.
2:44:53
Well, don't give it away because then you're going to
2:44:54
give your mother's maiden name when you're going to do
2:44:56
exactly unless unless you haven't used any of those on
2:44:58
your security questions.
2:45:00
Okay. I do know one street address when we lived
2:45:04
in Maryland. I don't use that one because I always
2:45:07
forget how to spell it. All right. So it's your
2:45:10
middle name with the street you grew up on. No,
2:45:14
that's no good. Clark Mitcher? No, it doesn't sound right.
2:45:18
Clark Mitcher. it's no good it's pretty all right all
2:45:24
right all right the second great porn name wow i
2:45:27
can't wait to watch that one it's a stunner clark
2:45:30
mitcher is starring in it nice i don't know if
2:45:32
that's necessarily straight porn so hey don't judge all right
2:45:36
your second two uh so on an iphone like and
2:45:41
and when you're Or on... on android you'll have to
2:45:44
check this on android but on the iphone you know
2:45:46
when you're trying to move your cursor or the little
2:45:49
blinking line if you're trying to like get back in
2:45:51
between a word to type something or to put in
2:45:54
a space yeah hold down the space bar and if
2:45:56
you hold down the space bar it turns into a
2:45:58
trackpad and then you can move it to wherever you
2:46:01
want it what hold on a second let me see
2:46:04
if this works I think on Android, you might have
2:46:07
to hold the space bar and move to the left
2:46:09
or right. Hold on. Let me see. This is interesting.
2:46:11
Okay. So I hit that, and I hold down the
2:46:13
space bar. No, I get change keyboard if I do
2:46:16
that. I think you have to have the G keyboard.
2:46:20
But on an iPhone, you hold it down. and it
2:46:24
turns into a trackpad and then you can move your
2:46:26
thumb around. Yeah, I'm not going to use the Gboard
2:46:28
because then everything I type in goes to Google. Yeah,
2:46:31
whatever. If you carry a cell phone, they got everything
2:46:35
on you anyways. Two tips for you today, ladies and
