00:04:24.000 She says that she's a Guatemalan before American.

00:07:32.000 Another question for you: if you could bring one famous person back from the dead, Jesus.

00:07:36.000 Who would it?

00:07:37.000 Don't use the Lord's name in Vain Gerald.

00:07:39.000 Who would it be?

00:07:41.000 Who would it be?

00:07:43.000 Turns out he already did that.

00:07:44.000 You can't say Tupac because we have enough drama fags around as it is. 1.00

00:07:49.000 It's a live show weekday's 11 a.m.

00:07:51.000 We're just streaming exclusively to Rebel because why would we stream this to YouTube?

00:07:55.000 All right, Captain Morgan, you're looking down.

00:07:56.000 What's going on?

00:07:57.000 I'm fine.

00:07:57.000 I was finding out where the rest of the pen went.

00:07:59.000 Oh, all right.

00:08:00.000 Well, that's all good.

00:08:01.000 You feel good?

00:08:01.000 Yeah, you?

00:08:02.000 Yeah.

00:08:05.000 Yeah.

00:08:06.000 So, did you have a stroke just maybe?

00:08:10.000 Oh, that Wendy Williams. 1.00

00:08:11.000 Let's play that again in Mug Club. 0.99

00:08:12.000 That's still one of the funniest things ever when she had that stroke on there. 1.00

00:08:14.000 I know.

00:08:15.000 Williams did.

00:08:16.000 Oh, yeah.

00:08:17.000 Dressed as a sequin statue of liberty.

00:08:19.000 Yeah, now she's in like a hospital. 1.00

00:08:21.000 She's like hospitalized. 0.65

00:08:22.000 She is now?

00:08:23.000 She's like in a conservatory.

00:08:25.000 Yeah.

00:08:25.000 What?

00:08:25.000 Well, then it's not funny.

00:08:26.000 No, it's kind of sad, actually.

00:08:28.000 Well, back then, she wasn't.

00:08:29.000 She had her show for like another nine years. 0.71

00:08:30.000 All right.

00:08:31.000 She's got pen caps and straws. 1.00

00:08:32.000 And Mr. Buzzkill here Friday, Saturday, August 22nd and 23rd at Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon.

00:08:38.000 Yes, it's the Buzzkill tour.

00:08:39.000 Yes, it's the Buzzkill Eagle.

00:08:41.000 There's a food festival in Portland that weekend.

00:08:43.000 Really?

00:08:44.000 I'm going to be so exhausted.

00:08:45.000 Let's have some fun.

00:08:46.000 Skip your show.

00:08:47.000 Go get some food.

00:08:48.000 And the audience will understand.

00:08:49.000 Josh will step on his own jokes during a show.

00:08:51.000 Speaking of Buzzkill, so we all know Sydney Sweeney. 1.00

00:08:55.000 That's what I was doing.

00:08:55.000 And look, I guess there's a conversation to be had.

00:08:57.000 Is she the hottest woman ever? 0.99

00:08:58.000 She's just a pretty woman. 1.00

00:09:00.000 A very pretty woman.

00:09:01.000 But let's just be honest.

00:09:02.000 The Overton window has been moved and enlarged because Lizzo has decided to jump on the Sidney Sweeney trend.

00:09:12.000 And it's going about exactly how you would expect it to.

00:09:18.000 Let's watch this.

00:09:19.000 And I don't want to interrupt.

00:09:20.000 I'll just allow you to enjoy the beauty.

00:09:23.000 Thank you.

00:09:26.000 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 Out of my face.

00:09:28.000 Ho, give me some space.

00:09:30.000 It's way too hot to be honest.

00:09:31.000 I'm sweating out of my lace.

00:09:33.000 Don't need no bottle service.

00:09:34.000 We pulled up with our drinks.

00:09:36.000 Trunk full of that ace, trunk full of that hen. 0.99

00:09:39.000 If we ain't got no waffle house, we pulling up to the denny's.

00:09:42.000 I'm going to give him a great slam.

00:09:43.000 He's pulling off of the panties. 0.92

00:09:45.000 The way he hit from the back, I might give him one of my grannies. 0.86

00:09:48.000 Did this for the culture?

00:09:49.000 That left right and that winded over.

00:09:51.000 Got scissors and docher. 0.75

00:09:52.000 I ate that and let's do it over.

00:09:54.000 What did I told you?

00:09:55.000 I'm going into October.

00:09:57.000 Niggas acting like the fun is over. 1.00

00:09:58.000 Niggas acting like summer's over. 1.00

00:10:00.000 Well, summer's over because you blocked out the sun.

00:10:04.000 And what are you doing?

00:10:07.000 Oh, just trying to hide my boner.

00:10:14.000 And you had that point too with her.

00:10:16.000 Yeah.

00:10:16.000 Well, she puts on her pants.

00:10:18.000 Well, Sidney Sweeney's doing it because Sidney Sweeney, she's like copying her. 0.86

00:10:22.000 Sydney's like putting on her pants. 1.00

00:10:23.000 Oh, I wasn't dressed up.

00:10:25.000 I'm in bed, and this is what I look.

00:10:27.000 And Lizzo's putting her pants on like I do. 1.00

00:10:29.000 Like she has to lay down to put them on. 0.85

00:10:32.000 Yes.

00:10:33.000 It's a medical necessity.

00:10:36.000 Yeah, it's not exactly the same thing.

00:10:37.000 You're going to have to get the jaws of life to pry them off of her. 1.00

00:10:40.000 Let's go back and just play this.

00:10:43.000 And let's examine the lyrics.

00:10:46.000 All right.

00:10:50.000 Out of my face.

00:10:51.000 Okay.

00:10:52.000 Ho, give me some space.

00:10:53.000 Pause.

00:10:54.000 Like, why then?

00:10:55.000 Give you some space, like warehouse space, flex space, a tarmac, outer space.

00:11:03.000 Let's keep playing.

00:11:04.000 It's way too hot up in my lace.

00:11:07.000 Pause.

00:11:08.000 That's because you have a medical problem.

00:11:09.000 It's a strain for your heart to pump, so you tend to sweat more.

00:11:13.000 Sweat a little extra.

00:11:13.000 Yeah, your body's trying to tell you something, Lizzo.

00:11:16.000 playing.

00:11:16.000 Button it.

00:11:22.000 If we ain't got no waffle house, we pulling up to the Denny's.

00:11:25.000 Pause.

00:11:27.000 What?

00:11:29.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:11:31.000 First off, there are.

00:11:32.000 No, Joe, let me take this.

00:11:33.000 So there are many other options, but it just shows you the compulsion to eat at four in the morning.

00:11:40.000 It's like if there's no waffle, I was like, go to, I gotta go to Denny's.

00:11:44.000 And I'm, and the employees.

00:11:46.000 What's the next line?

00:11:47.000 I eat food at will.

00:11:48.000 I don't tip on my bill.

00:11:50.000 That's right.

00:11:51.000 Meet me in the back and I'll fight you by the till. 1.00

00:11:54.000 Yes.

00:11:55.000 And every employee at Denny's immediately quit.

00:11:58.000 Keep playing.

00:11:59.000 Give him a grand slam. 0.99

00:12:00.000 He's pulling off of the panties. 0.84

00:12:02.000 The way he hits in the back, I might give him one of my grannies. 1.00

00:12:06.000 You're not going to be upset if I call you a whore, are you? 1.00

00:12:08.000 Because you're saying you're talking about an exchange of goods or services for sex. 0.99

00:12:17.000 Also, I mean, pulling off your panties, I mean, the person would have to have a wingspan of an albatross. 0.51

00:12:22.000 Like, you'd have to have Phelps pulling off those panties as an assistant. 1.00

00:12:26.000 Just all right, keep playing.

00:12:27.000 Come on, it's a love song.

00:12:28.000 Yes.

00:12:29.000 For the culture, that left right and that bend it over. 0.86

00:12:32.000 Got scissors and dolta.

00:12:33.000 I ate that, now let's do it over.

00:12:35.000 Pause.

00:12:36.000 No one is surprised that you ate that.

00:12:37.000 That is the least, the least twist turn of events in any song ever.

00:12:43.000 I get it.

00:12:43.000 I know, Joe.

00:12:44.000 I'll take this.

00:12:44.000 Keep playing.

00:12:46.000 Told you, I'm going into October.

00:12:48.000 Niggas acting like the fun is over. 1.00

00:12:50.000 Niggas acting like summer's over. 1.00

00:12:52.000 I like her natural hair.

00:12:53.000 Yeah.

00:12:55.000 It's a different song than Ryan Adams after the morbidly obese land whales of summer have gone.

00:13:02.000 Remember when Sidney Sweeney did the same ad but with cornrows?

00:13:05.000 Yes, exactly.

00:13:06.000 Like she came back from a crappy cruise and sang about her first choice for dining, Waffle House, then going to dinner.

00:13:13.000 You know, yeah, she casually lay off Waffle House and Denny's. 1.00

00:13:16.000 Her preference is Waffle House.

00:13:17.000 Her safeties, Denny.

00:13:18.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:13:18.000 That makes sense, though.

00:13:19.000 Like me with Harvard, my safety.

00:13:21.000 Now, I don't know if Lizzo has a great sense of humor or just doesn't understand because she posted this on her official account five days ago that if Democrats won the election.

00:13:30.000 Is she funny?

00:13:31.000 This is kind of funny.

00:13:32.000 But then she, her caption is: My jeans are black.

00:13:36.000 But she's wearing blue jeans.

00:13:37.000 So do you think she thinks it's just spelled G-E-N-E?

00:13:41.000 It's like there's a language barrier, but it's just an IQ barrier.

00:13:44.000 I think that she's there.

00:13:45.000 I think she's on the cusp of a joke.

00:13:48.000 I don't know if she's on.

00:13:49.000 She's on the crust of a joke.

00:13:52.000 She's on the cheese-filled crust of a joke.

00:13:54.000 How did she make her face look fatter in that picture? 1.00

00:13:57.000 Well, you know, it's all the same.

00:13:58.000 Because she didn't do it.

00:13:59.000 Somebody else did that.

00:14:00.000 She made the picture, to be fair.

00:14:01.000 Yeah.

00:14:02.000 No, someone else made that.

00:14:03.000 I don't know.

00:14:03.000 She found clothes, a pose, and lighting that made her face fatter.

00:14:07.000 She JD Vance memed herself. 0.83

00:14:09.000 Yes, she did.

00:14:11.000 Which causes me to believe maybe she's funny.

00:14:13.000 I don't know.

00:14:14.000 I doubt it.

00:14:15.000 But she could be.

00:14:16.000 I have no idea.

00:14:17.000 Someone who plays the pan flute naked at the Jefferson Memorial, whatever the hell it is.

00:14:20.000 I get that none of that is factually correct, but you wanted to meet in the general joke.

00:14:23.000 She played a flute.

00:14:24.000 Was it?

00:14:25.000 She played Madison's flute.

00:14:25.000 Madison.

00:14:26.000 It plays Madison's flute.

00:14:27.000 It's a million-dollar flute, I guess.

00:14:29.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:14:29.000 In the thong.

00:14:30.000 I thought it was great.

00:14:31.000 Yeah.

00:14:32.000 Classy.

00:14:32.000 Sequence.

00:14:35.000 So, anyways, this is probably brilliant.

00:14:38.000 It's brilliant.

00:14:38.000 Sidney Sweeney, American.

00:14:39.000 Like, you cannot pay for this kind of advertising.

00:14:42.000 And so telling American Eagle, hey, hold my bud light.

00:14:48.000 That's foreshadowing.

00:14:49.000 Levi's just decided to release their new ad with Beyoncé.

00:14:54.000 They're just like you.

00:14:59.000 Call me Pretty Little Pain.

00:15:05.000 Was she putting diamonds in the dryer at a laundromat? 0.98

00:15:08.000 Rhinestones.

00:15:09.000 Rhinestones.

00:15:10.000 Rhinestones, Steven.

00:15:11.000 Okay.

00:15:11.000 Yes.

00:15:11.000 It's science.

00:15:12.000 Already, none of this makes sense.

00:15:14.000 It's like scent beads.

00:15:16.000 Some people put, you know, like the downy scent beads.

00:15:18.000 Some people put rhinestones.

00:15:19.000 A bucket?

00:15:20.000 Like it's a petting zoo of scent beads.

00:15:22.000 It's a bucket and a mop, rhinestone on my.

00:15:25.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:15:25.000 Okay, she's putting right.

00:15:26.000 Well, by the way, she is going to void the warranty on that speed queen dryer. 1.00

00:15:30.000 I thought those recorders.

00:15:31.000 I was like, she's doing it wrong.

00:15:32.000 Yeah, she is doing it wrong.

00:15:33.000 You put it in a top.

00:15:36.000 It says, do not attempt on the bottom there very tight.

00:15:39.000 Guys, you're missing the point.

00:15:40.000 You're missing the point.

00:15:40.000 Beyonce invented country music.

00:15:42.000 Let's continue.

00:15:45.000 Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom. 1.00

00:15:49.000 No. 0.62

00:15:51.000 Okay.

00:15:51.000 So here's the problem.

00:15:52.000 This is why it's like Sidney Sweeney, she was just dressed, you know, in jeans. 0.99

00:15:57.000 And you could say Canadian tuxedo, most people don't wear that, but it's something that you've seen people wear.

00:16:00.000 In this case, she's dressed like Lloyd Christmas at the resort.

00:16:04.000 Like, this is not, it's not something people can relate to.

00:16:07.000 Hey, a classic muscle car and someone wearing jeans, that's a throwback.

00:16:10.000 In this case, she's wearing rhinestones, putting them in a dryer and dressed like a cartoon character. 0.99

00:16:17.000 But let's continue.

00:16:18.000 They're just like you.

00:16:21.000 All of it.

00:16:35.000 Put his pants down?

00:16:37.000 Yeah.

00:16:38.000 What?

00:16:45.000 Guarantee you she can't ride that motorcycle. 1.00

00:16:47.000 No, she's putting rhinestones in the dryer.

00:16:49.000 Well, you think she's going to know how to use that class. 1.00

00:16:52.000 I loved it.

00:16:53.000 All right.

00:16:54.000 Okay.

00:16:55.000 Are you just being a counterculturalist?

00:16:57.000 He knows.

00:16:58.000 He thinks Lizzo's hot.

00:16:59.000 He thinks that's a run-of-the-mill daily outfit with rhinestones up the side of your lower back.

00:17:04.000 Everything about it's like.

00:17:06.000 Hey, come on. 0.77

00:17:06.000 Gerald used to wear those jeans. 0.77

00:17:09.000 It's like Sidney Sweeney, American Eagle, said, you know what, we got to get, we got to get away from all this LGBTQ AIP and all this stuff that's completely out of touch. 1.00

00:17:15.000 Let's just create something that resonates with middle Americans, right?

00:17:17.000 People who wear jeans.

00:17:19.000 And then Levi's like, we got to do the same thing.

00:17:22.000 Beyonce, you know how to reach the American middle class. 0.99

00:17:26.000 She's like, yeah, I'm thinking like Ryan Stones and I'm banging Timothy Oliphant and ride a motorcycle.

00:17:30.000 They're like, brilliant.

00:17:32.000 I'm just going to look at him.

00:17:32.000 His pants are going to fall down in the box.

00:17:34.000 Yeah, people can copy paste themselves onto you in this.

00:17:38.000 So it's just not the same thing.

00:17:39.000 It's still going for the glamour.

00:17:40.000 It's still going for the Hollywood feel.

00:17:42.000 It's the opposite.

00:17:43.000 It's an anti-American Eagle type ad, which, by the way, was anti-this kind of ad.

00:17:49.000 It's like inception of horrible advertising.

00:17:52.000 Somewhere, the real Don Draper is swallowing strychnine.

00:17:55.000 But here is CNN reacting to this ad this morning.

00:17:59.000 Ads for jeans have caused quite store lately.

00:18:01.000 Now Levi's getting in on the airport.

00:18:02.000 Because of you. 0.74

00:18:07.000 Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom. 1.00

00:18:09.000 Denimon, denim, denim, denim. 1.00

00:18:11.000 Levi is teaming up with Queen Bee to release the Denim Cowboy, a perfect shit. 0.96

00:18:16.000 And the cowboy Carter singer has a song titled Levi's Jeans. 1.00

00:18:20.000 By the way, any man who refers to her as Queen Bee, you're gay. 0.99

00:18:23.000 You're a gay man if you say Queen Bee. 1.00

00:18:26.000 And I found that one out the hard way because I had a man get mad and say, you shouldn't insult Queen Bee like that. 0.99

00:18:32.000 I know exactly what you're talking about.

00:18:33.000 And it took me a minute to process the gayness where I was like, oh, you're one of them. 0.88

00:18:43.000 Yeah, well, now you know not to say that to me again.

00:18:46.000 Here's what it is.

00:18:47.000 Here's what it comes down to, authenticity.

00:18:49.000 Look, Sidney Sweeney is not claiming, and that's why I say Girl Next, really pretty version of Girl Next Door.

00:18:54.000 It doesn't look to me like a supermodel, but pretty version of Girl Next Door. 0.68

00:18:58.000 It's relatable.

00:18:58.000 It's about authenticity.

00:18:59.000 It seems like something she would wear.

00:19:00.000 She would wear jeans.

00:19:01.000 She probably would like an old muscle car.

00:19:03.000 There's nothing authentic about this.

00:19:04.000 Levi's is trying to sell to the heartland.

00:19:08.000 She's not authentically country. 1.00

00:19:09.000 She doesn't know country music, Beyonce. 0.96

00:19:11.000 Her music was not actual country, and now she's trying to act like she hangs out at line dancing bars with Timothy Oliphant after fornicating with him, even though we all know that she's married to a former crack dealer.

00:19:22.000 So none of it resonates, and they'll wonder why it's not success.

00:19:27.000 How much you want to bet, they will say it's because of racism.

00:19:29.000 That's what they're hoping for.

00:19:31.000 They're hoping to dine out on that controversy.

00:19:33.000 Let me give you some numbers here.

00:19:35.000 And I can't necessarily say that correlation equals causation, but American Eagle, right after Sidney Sweeney, the ad, the stock jumped 17%.

00:19:42.000 Levi's, that ad, I believe, just came out yesterday or the day before, stock declined by 0.28%.

00:19:47.000 Now, that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that Levi's is done.

00:19:53.000 I'm just saying, in comparison, that's 17.28% less.

00:19:59.000 What it does mean is that they're not having a big jump.

00:20:02.000 Right.

00:20:02.000 They're not having a huge drop, like a big opposite comparison, but it's not jumping like American Eagle did.

00:20:08.000 No, no.

00:20:09.000 How much you want to comment?

00:20:11.000 How much do you want to bet they blame this on racism when it doesn't work?

00:20:14.000 Right.

00:20:15.000 It's like you put a pretty white girl in an ad and all of a sudden it flies. 0.55

00:20:18.000 And I don't think Beyonce's ugly.

00:20:19.000 I just, it's not my type.

00:20:20.000 Fine, whatever.

00:20:21.000 So, you know, put a pretty black girl in an ad and it doesn't work. 1.00

00:20:23.000 And it's like, well, no, it's just, it's a stupid ad. 1.00

00:20:26.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:20:26.000 Well, you know, you want to just pick one. 1.00

00:20:28.000 How about one is in their 20s and one is in their 40s or 50s, however old Beyonce is.

00:20:32.000 And it's not the authenticity part.

00:20:33.000 How about that?

00:20:34.000 How about the target market for American Eagle or Levi's typically isn't Beyonce and or Jay-Z album purchasers?

00:20:42.000 Like, there's some crossover, but Levi Levi's.

00:20:47.000 Nothing wrong with Levi's.

00:20:48.000 They got a nice, they got a nice wide seat.

00:20:51.000 Yeah.

00:20:52.000 There you go.

00:20:52.000 But if they go the woke route and go, oh, it's because of racism, guess what?

00:20:57.000 You're going to see another Bud Light.

00:20:58.000 Now, this is nowhere near as bad as the rock bottom that I'm about to.

00:21:04.000 Every now and then we introduce you to new, whether they're exclusive because of Mug Club undercover or just something that a lot of people haven't caught.

00:21:12.000 Jim Acosta.

00:21:13.000 He was at CNN.

00:21:15.000 He's not now.

00:21:16.000 And we see this a lot.

00:21:17.000 Yeah.

00:21:17.000 We see this a lot where they go online and they can't compete in the online space, right?

00:21:20.000 Without the budget, without the marketing, without this fake aura of success, they crash and burn.

00:21:26.000 And then when they don't have advisors and they don't have people who sort of act as filters, you get to see really who they are and what kind of ideas they bring to the table.

00:21:38.000 Back to Jim Acosta.

00:21:39.000 What did Jim Acosta think was a good idea?

00:21:42.000 And what I'm about to tell you is a real thing.

00:21:46.000 Jim Acosta interviewed an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a kid who was murdered in Parkland, Florida at a school shooting and thought this was going to go over well.

00:22:03.000 So this right now, it only has 5,900 views, like 100 comments, has 301 likes, 708 dislikes.

00:22:10.000 Here is Jim Acosta.

00:22:11.000 And let's just do away with this idea.

00:22:12.000 Like, oh, both sides politicize it.

00:22:14.000 No, no, no.

00:22:15.000 Can you name me a single conservative Republican ever who interviewed a dead person through AI to try and push for constitutional carry?

00:22:25.000 The left has no shame whatsoever.

00:22:28.000 So here's Jim Acosta Interviewing an AI version of a child, now grown up through AI, who was killed in Parkland, Florida, in order to push a gun control agenda.

00:22:40.000 It's as bad as you think.

00:22:42.000 Today is August the 4th.

00:22:43.000 That happens to be the birthday of my first guest, Joaquin Oliver, died in the Parkland school shooting in Florida back in 2018.

00:22:52.000 But his real parents, Manuel and Patricia, have created an AI version of their son to deliver a powerful message on gun violence.

00:23:00.000 Manny asked me if I'd like to be the first reporter to have the chance to interview Joaquin.

00:23:05.000 Joaquin, it's Jim Acosta.

00:23:07.000 I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to you.

00:23:10.000 I appreciate your curiosity.

00:23:12.000 I was taken from this world too soon due to gun violence while at school.

00:23:16.000 It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone.

00:23:20.000 What would you like to know more about?

00:23:22.000 Joaquin, I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence.

00:23:28.000 Great question.

00:23:29.000 I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement.

00:23:34.000 We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard.

00:23:40.000 It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding.

00:23:43.000 What do you think about that?

00:23:44.000 I think that's a great idea, Joaquin.

00:23:46.000 What do you think about punctuation?

00:23:50.000 Now, of course, I know you are like many people who believed it to be tasteless, especially after Acosta interviewed the shooter who turned out to be a hologram of Tupac.

00:23:59.000 So this seems to be, yeah, Tupac.

00:24:02.000 And then the following segment was him interviewing Tranny Sr.

00:24:05.000 Wences.

00:24:05.000 The point is, he's just doing this on a shoestring budget.

00:24:09.000 Pre-surgery.

00:24:10.000 Pre-surgery.

00:24:12.000 Like, here's the thing, too.

00:24:15.000 And people talk about Alex Jones and they talk about Sandy Hook and all that.

00:24:18.000 Like, there is truth to the fact that if the parents decided that this was a good idea, these are people who are using the death of their child to politicize this whole issue and to make horrible points, by the way, in a very, very uncomfortable way.

00:24:33.000 This is the left.

00:24:34.000 They're okay doing this.

00:24:36.000 Don't ever let them say that you're standing on the graves of children because he's literally interviewing a, well, not would-be, a dead child grown up in the form of the creepiest AI that you can imagine.

00:24:49.000 And the left thinks that this is going to convince you to give up your firearms.

00:24:54.000 By the way, he made the interview even more awkward.

00:24:57.000 It goes on and gets worse.

00:24:59.000 Guac, I want to know what your favorite basketball team is.

00:25:03.000 I'd probably go with the Miami Heat.

00:25:05.000 They have such a passionate fan base in an exciting place.

00:25:07.000 Tell me about you.

00:25:08.000 Do you have a favorite basketball player?

00:25:11.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:12.000 I definitely like LeBron James.

00:25:14.000 Of course, you do.

00:25:14.000 You like him?

00:25:16.000 LeBron is incredible.

00:25:17.000 His skills on the court and his leadership off it are truly inspiring.

00:25:20.000 He's made such a huge impact in the game and people talk.

00:25:24.000 Definitely.

00:25:25.000 Whenever LeBron is playing, I always have to watch him.

00:25:27.000 What about you?

00:25:28.000 Do you have a favorite movie?

00:25:29.000 82 games a year you watch.

00:25:30.000 Favorite show?

00:25:31.000 Oh, I'm a big Star Wars fan for sure.

00:25:33.000 Do you have a favorite character?

00:25:35.000 Oh, it's got to be Luke Skywalker.

00:25:37.000 I love Luke Skywalker.

00:25:38.000 What about you?

00:25:40.000 Luke Skywalker is a classic hero.

00:25:42.000 His journey from a farm boy to a Jedi is so inspiring.

00:25:45.000 I'd say Yoda is one of my favorites too.

00:25:47.000 What do you love most about Luke?

00:25:49.000 I like that Luke became the hero.

00:25:51.000 He came from a very small planet and he eventually became a Jedi and saved the day.

00:25:59.000 Now, either Jim Acosta knows nothing about basketball or media and is pandering, just picking the first, like, would you like a basketball?

00:26:10.000 Yeah, I like LeBron.

00:26:12.000 What do you look to Star Wars?

00:26:14.000 Who do you like?

00:26:15.000 Luke Skywalker? 0.99

00:26:16.000 Either he's just pandering or he is the most boring, clueless human being alive. 0.99

00:26:23.000 I wish I was dead when I was watching this. 0.72

00:26:26.000 And showing that AI is becoming more and more lifelike.

00:26:30.000 After the interview, Joaquin AI killed himself.

00:26:34.000 So that is how this whole thing ended.

00:26:38.000 And you would think, look, we try things sometimes here.

00:26:40.000 We're like, ah, okay, that didn't work.

00:26:42.000 So you'd think that Jim Acosta would go like, this is really uncomfortable.

00:26:45.000 This has gone poorly.

00:26:47.000 And you know what?

00:26:47.000 We'll get him next time.

00:26:49.000 But instead, he decided to continue.

00:26:52.000 And this is why the left loses, because you can see that he's actually earnest here.

00:26:56.000 He talked with Joaquim's father and actually remarked how lifelike what you just saw, the AI, how authentic it felt.

00:27:06.000 I have to say, I'm kind of speechless as to the technology there.

00:27:11.000 I mean, it was so insightful.

00:27:13.000 And I really felt like I was speaking with Joaquin.

00:27:15.000 It's just a beautiful thing.

00:27:17.000 You knew him?

00:27:19.000 You knew him?

00:27:20.000 Because to me, that didn't sound like anybody in particular.

00:27:22.000 It sounded like an AI bot who knew where Joaquin lived, Florida, and said, oh, Miami Heat, and then knew some facts about Star Wars because it's on the internet.

00:27:32.000 Why would you say that about AI, Josh?

00:27:34.000 Do you have opinions on AI as well, Gerald?

00:27:38.000 That's exactly what it was.

00:27:39.000 Michael Jordan played basketball.

00:27:41.000 He was good.

00:27:41.000 Has best career statistics.

00:27:43.000 Wayne Gretzky.

00:27:46.000 Insightful?

00:27:47.000 Super weird.

00:27:48.000 Insightful?

00:27:48.000 I like the Miami Heat.

00:27:49.000 I like LeBron.

00:27:50.000 Luke Skywalker.

00:27:51.000 We should ban guns.

00:27:53.000 That's what this whole thing is.

00:27:55.000 Yes.

00:27:55.000 Using effectively an animated corpse.

00:27:59.000 This is why the left loses, guys.

00:28:02.000 Please, Jim Acosta, please keep doing this.

00:28:04.000 And you know what?

00:28:05.000 Welcome to the show.

00:28:06.000 I would gladly have you on.

00:28:09.000 We're not going to just have, we're not going to just go just to defend this.

00:28:12.000 I just want you, Mr. Acosta, to pitch to me, treat it like it's idiot tank, why this was a good idea and what you hoped to achieve.

00:28:22.000 And also, what are your plans for the future? 0.72

00:28:25.000 Who else will you interview?

00:28:26.000 No one can tell the future.

00:28:28.000 That's the beauty of life, Josh.

00:28:29.000 None of us have a crystal ball.

00:28:31.000 Gerald, what are your plans for tomorrow?

00:28:33.000 Thanks, Stephen Grocker.

00:28:37.000 This is such a weird thing because I've seen this technology used in other ways that are actually kind of interesting.

00:28:42.000 Well, not necessarily better.

00:28:44.000 There's not a whole lot better that you can do with it, but I think bring out Megan would be better.

00:28:50.000 That letter that Gerald wrote to that gay camp was great. 1.00

00:28:53.000 Exactly, that's true.

00:28:54.000 That worked out.

00:28:56.000 Don't forget our slogan.

00:28:58.000 Don't tell the grown-ups.

00:28:59.000 It really felt like it was Gerald.

00:29:01.000 No, but my whole point is, the thing that freaks me out the most about this, I've seen this before, so it doesn't freak me out as much.

00:29:07.000 It's weird, whatever.

00:29:08.000 I get it.

00:29:08.000 It's uncomfortable for sure.

00:29:10.000 Did he even have those views?

00:29:12.000 Or is this just something that you plugged into him?

00:29:14.000 I know that people are probably like, duh, he probably didn't.

00:29:16.000 But for me, that's the most offensive part.

00:29:18.000 Yeah.

00:29:19.000 You're using this person to maybe say stuff they would never even actually say or have ideas they never even actually had.

00:29:25.000 So it's not even authenticated.

00:29:26.000 Well, the real, the real issue here is the gaslighting from the left.

00:29:28.000 So whenever there's a mass shooting, right?

00:29:29.000 And you've heard me talk about this where I say, I wish I could just come out and say, hey, my heart goes out to the families of those affected thoughts and prayers, of course, and it's a time for mourning.

00:29:38.000 But I can't do it because before the bodies assume room temperature, they are pushing for gun control.

00:29:43.000 And then they try and accuse you of politicizing it when you go, no, hold on a second.

00:29:46.000 94% of mass shootings occur in gun-free zones.

00:29:49.000 No, wait, hold on a second.

00:29:50.000 500,000 to 3 million defensive uses of firearms every year.

00:29:53.000 It's not even remotely close when you compare it in a ratio to homicide.

00:29:56.000 Hold on, we need to be honest about it.

00:29:58.000 They go, why are you politicizing us?

00:30:00.000 Why don't you care about the dead children?

00:30:02.000 This is the, when they say both sides, politicize it, genuinely, come in.

00:30:06.000 Can you think of anything this egregious from anyone on the right as far as interviewing an AI version of a dead child to push an agenda?

00:30:16.000 And that's not rhetoric.

00:30:18.000 If there is, I'd like to know so that I can mock that person as well.

00:30:23.000 And for those of you still wondering, yeah, Josh.

00:30:25.000 I was like, can you imagine if somebody from the right had taken Lake and Riley?

00:30:29.000 Yeah.

00:30:29.000 And put her in an AI generator to push, to push deportations and immigration policies.

00:30:34.000 Right.

00:30:35.000 It'd be sickening.

00:30:36.000 Of course.

00:30:36.000 You can deepfake a politician saying something egregious, but they can defend themselves.

00:30:41.000 Yeah, somebody, yes, especially politicians.

00:30:42.000 You're up.

00:30:43.000 Dude, you're up for grabs.

00:30:45.000 You put yourself out there as a politician.

00:30:46.000 You are allowed to be made fun of.

00:30:47.000 Yada yada.

00:30:48.000 I got it.

00:30:49.000 Just somebody like that, just a kid killed in a school shooting.

00:30:53.000 And then we're graded as less accurate by whatever that media watchdog thing because we have jokes.

00:30:58.000 They say ad hominem reduces your accuracy.

00:31:00.000 Well, we provide actual references, and we never would, actually, that's not true.

00:31:04.000 I absolutely would interview an AI dead person if I thought it would be funny enough. 0.87

00:31:09.000 I actually think we need to interview the AI version of the dead pedophile that Cal Rittenhouse shot.

00:31:13.000 That Rosenbaum? 0.68

00:31:14.000 There he is.

00:31:15.000 Let's input that.

00:31:15.000 You know what?

00:31:16.000 We're going to do that tomorrow. 1.00

00:31:17.000 Yeah, but he's a piece of crap. 1.00

00:31:19.000 Yeah, I know. 1.00

00:31:20.000 Pedophiles are also not off limits.

00:31:22.000 No, they're not, no matter whether they're alive or dead.

00:31:24.000 But Jim Acosta, thank you for the idea.

00:31:26.000 We're just going to take it and make it, you know, good.

00:31:28.000 And if people are wondering as to why Jim Acosta would do this, keep in mind, this is a guy who was at CNN who tried to present himself as objective.

00:31:35.000 CNN tried to present him as objective.

00:31:38.000 And we've always known that he was just another leftist media hack.

00:31:41.000 But now we get to see it in real time online without the filters.

00:31:44.000 I've been sort of trying to shout this from the rooftops or wherever anybody will listen to me at the end of a bar in Kansas City, whatever.

00:31:52.000 Not listening there.

00:31:53.000 No.

00:31:54.000 The president of the United States is a danger to this country.

00:31:58.000 We'll stop.

00:31:59.000 Uh.

00:32:03.000 I've got to work on my set behind me as one of the issues.

00:32:06.000 Well, got to work on part of the charm of Supstack Championship.

00:32:10.000 I'd love to see PBS and NPR sort of be too big to fail in this country and sort of be like the BBC or be like what we see with Canadian broadcasting.

00:32:18.000 Because Trump is not going to change his ways when he gets back in the Oval Office.

00:32:21.000 He's going to continue to say things that need to be fact-checked.

00:32:24.000 And you can't have the news industry worrying about this sort of stuff when they're just such a demonic job.

00:32:31.000 Well, if some bend the knee, others have to stand up straighter.

00:32:34.000 Well, you know a lot about bending the knee.

00:32:36.000 Also, by the way, remember, that is Brian Stelter's man cave.

00:32:39.000 Bring that back up as a still. 0.97

00:32:41.000 He willingly broadcasts from a room that looks like your grandmother's bathroom where the toilet seat would be that soft vinyl that feels like you're sitting on someone else's butt cheek. 0.62

00:32:50.000 Yeah, with a carpet floor.

00:32:51.000 The carpet floor and like cracks in the vinyl because someone clearly missed and it scrapes you.

00:32:55.000 Yeah.

00:33:07.000 All right.

00:33:07.000 He's literally the only person you can put in a split screen with Jim Acosta that makes it worse.

00:33:12.000 It's true.

00:33:12.000 It's unbelievable.

00:33:14.000 Think about this for a second.

00:33:15.000 And by the way, the best way to follow us here is download the Rumble app.

00:33:18.000 Follow me on there.

00:33:19.000 You'll know when we are live.

00:33:20.000 We're live, of course, 11 a.m. weekdays, every weekday, but that's the best way to stay in touch.

00:33:26.000 Don't have to depend on some kind of algorithm there at YouTube or Meta.

00:33:29.000 Think about Jim Acosta.

00:33:31.000 Do you honestly think now that you see him, and you'll see the same thing with Colbert.

00:33:35.000 You'll see the same thing with a lot of these actors and comedians who start their own podcasts afterward.

00:33:40.000 Do you think he got that job because he was best?

00:33:42.000 Or same thing with Brian Stelter.

00:33:44.000 Have you looked at that guy's resume?

00:33:46.000 It doesn't exist.

00:33:47.000 You wonder how they got these jobs.

00:33:48.000 And now, you may not like me.

00:33:50.000 You may not like anyone here.

00:33:52.000 Let's just use Andrew Wilson as an example who's been here.

00:33:55.000 You may hate him, but he's out there debating people.

00:33:58.000 He's taking on all comers, anyone who will, sitting down, he's getting the reps.

00:34:01.000 And people here have had to get up on stage in any downtown USA for thousands of dates to see if we can make it work, to make people laugh, cut our teeth at places like, for me, Fox News at one point was HLN, CNN, doing all this content online.

00:34:15.000 What is Jim Acosta?

00:34:16.000 Do you think Jim Acosta has ever actually debated anyone on a level playing field?

00:34:21.000 Do you think he's ever actually had to win over a crowd, win over a crowd who doesn't know who he is?

00:34:26.000 Do you think he's ever actually had to provide references or be accountable to his audience?

00:34:31.000 These people are not selected even remotely because of their capabilities.

00:34:36.000 And you see that when they go online and the audience, the free market can dictate.

00:34:42.000 And guess what?

00:34:43.000 These people are never chosen.

00:34:45.000 They're never chosen.

00:34:46.000 And so like a feminist who finds himself to be 55 years old and a crazy cat lady, you have these former broadcasters and now they have a decision to make. 0.80

00:34:54.000 Well, wait a second.

00:34:55.000 Was I never really qualified?

00:34:57.000 Was I never really a good journalist?

00:35:00.000 Was I never really any good?

00:35:02.000 Or is it everyone else's fault?

00:35:04.000 Let's blame Trump.

00:35:05.000 Let's blame new media.

00:35:06.000 Let's control it.

00:35:07.000 Let's censor it.

00:35:08.000 Let's have a department of misinformation, even though we don't provide any references and our competitors do.

00:35:13.000 Let's blame everyone else because me, Jim Acosta, Brian Stelter, we must be good.

00:35:18.000 That's the world they live in.

00:35:19.000 Same thing with Stephen Colbert.

00:35:21.000 Stephen Colbert could take 5 million instead of 15 million and 100 employees instead of 200 employees.

00:35:26.000 He knows he can't make it work.

00:35:28.000 He will never say, yeah, the numbers created because it was awful.

00:35:31.000 He will blame it on you.

00:35:33.000 Levi's, if they don't do well, will not blame it on their tone-deaf marketing that's relatable to no one outside of the Folsom Street Fair.

00:35:43.000 They're going to blame it on you.

00:35:44.000 That's what the left does.

00:35:45.000 They blame it on.

00:35:46.000 They blame their own failures on you.

00:35:50.000 Wait, that was Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter?

00:35:52.000 Right.

00:35:53.000 Yes?

00:35:53.000 Oh, I thought that was like AI created a podcast with Jason Alexander and George Clooney.

00:35:58.000 Yes, exactly.

00:35:58.000 Yes.

00:35:59.000 If George Clooney, you know, it's like in a parallel universe where he was gross.

00:36:02.000 Yeah, AI.

00:36:03.000 Brian Stelter, how?

00:36:04.000 How does that guy get a job?

00:36:05.000 Can someone answer me this?

00:36:06.000 Someone needs to do it.

00:36:06.000 What dirt does he have on somebody?

00:36:08.000 He's backed.

00:36:09.000 And by the way, it's not jealousy.

00:36:12.000 Bigger audience make more than Brian Stelter.

00:36:14.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:36:15.000 They may pay him a ton of money.

00:36:16.000 I have no idea because he has a blackmail panic button.

00:36:20.000 How?

00:36:21.000 We've often asked these questions and we've never had answers.

00:36:23.000 At least now you're starting to get an answer when you see these people unfiltered online.

00:36:27.000 Hey, go ahead.

00:36:28.000 Do it on your own.

00:36:30.000 Let the chips fall where they may.

00:36:32.000 Speaking of abysmal failure, and my question for you is what constitutes treason?

00:36:36.000 That term is thrown around a whole lot.

00:36:38.000 I do think that when you take an oath to represent citizens of this country, you must represent first and foremost the citizens of this country.

00:36:47.000 And to be their representative, you must first and foremost be a citizen of this country and exclusively this country, one could argue. 0.52

00:36:55.000 So Illinois Congress bitch Delia Ramirez said this in a conference with progressive legislators in Mexico City. 0.98

00:37:05.000 She flat out said her loyalty is with Guatemala first. 0.98

00:37:18.000 Is that so?

00:37:19.000 said Donald Trump in trading her back to her country's leadership.

00:37:22.000 That's, yeah, there you go.

00:37:27.000 The sun god is pleased.

00:37:29.000 It's a pack of that show.

00:37:33.000 Why are you proud?

00:37:33.000 Why are you Guatemalan first?

00:37:35.000 Let me just say this.

00:37:35.000 I know I'm not supposed to objectively.

00:37:37.000 Guatemala sucks. 1.00

00:37:38.000 It sucks. 1.00

00:37:39.000 The United States is better. 1.00

00:37:40.000 That's why you're here.

00:37:42.000 But to say you're Guatemalan first, that's a problem. 1.00

00:37:46.000 Just to give you an idea, members of Congress, they take this oath when they are sworn in.

00:37:51.000 Reference is available, link in the description.

00:37:53.000 I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.

00:38:08.000 So you will protect it against any foreign or domestic threats and that you will pledge allegiance to the same.

00:38:15.000 Does it sound like you're pledging allegiance to the United States when you say I'm first Guatemalan, for those who are listening on audio and didn't see the subtitles?

00:38:21.000 She doubled down, by the way, on X and said, Honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.

00:38:29.000 What?

00:38:29.000 How?

00:38:30.000 What?

00:38:32.000 Cheating on my husband only makes me so I love my husband more.

00:38:37.000 What?

00:38:38.000 That's the opposite of making sense.

00:38:41.000 My commitment to America.

00:38:43.000 That is the truth I carry with me always.

00:38:46.000 It is a truth that many Americans carry with them.

00:38:49.000 Nope.

00:38:50.000 Anyone who denies our claim in this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant route only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is.

00:39:03.000 Yes, it's fragile and small-minded to think that people in America are Americans, that you're American first.

00:39:10.000 She didn't just say, hey, my background is Guatemalan.

00:39:13.000 Of course.

00:39:14.000 No one has a problem with that.

00:39:15.000 I'm talking about that.

00:39:16.000 You can be proud of where you're from.

00:39:17.000 And I'll also go as far as say this.

00:39:20.000 You can hold that truth with you as an American.

00:39:22.000 Sure, you're allowed to do that.

00:39:23.000 But you're not just an American.

00:39:25.000 You're a congresswoman. 0.99

00:39:26.000 Yeah.

00:39:26.000 And when you say I'm Guatemalan first.

00:39:28.000 For example, Mark Aruby, he'll say, my parents came from Cuba.

00:39:31.000 They came from communism.

00:39:32.000 They fled it and they came to the greatest country in the world and they were grateful to be here.

00:39:34.000 There are plenty of people who come from a family of immigrants and they're grateful to be here.

00:39:39.000 But right now, at this moment in time, to say, I represent the people of America, but I am Guatemalan first.

00:39:46.000 Well, that sounds to me like you're going to have conflicting interests.

00:39:49.000 Yes.

00:39:50.000 And put any country in there.

00:39:51.000 And I know a lot of people online are asking for this one.

00:39:54.000 If you say you're Israel first. 0.86

00:39:55.000 Yes.

00:39:56.000 If you say you're British first, Canadian first. 0.93

00:39:59.000 I don't care.

00:39:59.000 Insert country here.

00:40:00.000 We don't have a Congress person anymore.

00:40:03.000 We have somebody who's on the way out.

00:40:04.000 Right.

00:40:05.000 And again, once again, I renounce my Canadian citizenship.

00:40:08.000 I have many times. 0.99

00:40:09.000 I don't know how to officially do it, but it was automatically granted to me to become an honest French-Canadian, but I think Canada is a silly place where dreams go to die and it's infected with homosexuals. 1.00

00:40:17.000 So who is? 0.99

00:40:20.000 Ramirez.

00:40:21.000 Well, let me also tell you, this is maybe why this woman doesn't fully understand it. 1.00

00:40:24.000 So she was elected at the age of 35.

00:40:26.000 This is a woman who has never worked in the private sector her entire adult life.

00:40:34.000 She has never worked in the private sector.

00:40:36.000 I also think that you should have to work in the private sector before you become a representative.

00:40:38.000 Why?

00:40:39.000 How would you know how to represent working Americans if you've never been one?

00:40:44.000 Her husband is a dreamer, by the way.

00:40:46.000 And most of her campaign donors are unions, government workers. 1.00

00:40:50.000 And of course, surprise, surprise, Miss Guatemala first, which is just a silly thing to say because it's such a silly, crappy, shithole country. 1.00

00:40:57.000 That's okay. 1.00

00:40:58.000 We can say it now. 0.96

00:40:58.000 It's a shithole country compared to, I don't know, Delaware, Rhode Island, for crying out loud, even Arkansas. 0.96

00:41:04.000 I don't care. 0.99

00:41:05.000 It's worse than every state.

00:41:06.000 So no surprise, Guatemala first representative here wants to defund ICE.

00:41:10.000 Ooh, no conflict of interest there.

00:41:12.000 It's time to ask and they are fighting back and are pushed back against this fascist government.

00:41:17.000 That's right.

00:41:17.000 Okay.

00:41:18.000 It's time for us to reconsider what ICE is all about.

00:41:20.000 Hiding the government?

00:41:27.000 You know what?

00:41:27.000 That actually gives me an idea.

00:41:28.000 I would like to propose this.

00:41:29.000 And of course, ICE is prioritizing dangerous threats, right?

00:41:34.000 Violent criminals right now, but they will deport anyone who is here illegally if they run into them, as they should. 1.00

00:41:37.000 We had Tom Homan on the show.

00:41:39.000 Let's add one question when ICE is interrogating someone.

00:41:43.000 Hey, do you think that America is the greatest country?

00:41:47.000 No, let's make it even simpler.

00:41:48.000 Are you America first or are you Mexico first or Guatemala first or Honduras first?

00:41:53.000 If anyone says, it's not a trick question, if the answer is anything other than America first, fast track, no more process needed, gone.

00:42:03.000 That means you, Ramirez, that means yes.

00:42:05.000 Am I saying I think that Ramirez should at least be deported to Guatemala?

00:42:10.000 I think that we should be benevolent and we should send her to the place with which she identifies.

00:42:15.000 You know, this place is her first priority.

00:42:17.000 Yeah, she wants to make Guatemala better. 1.00

00:42:19.000 There you go.

00:42:19.000 Hey, make Guatemala great again.

00:42:21.000 There you go.

00:42:22.000 Great.

00:42:23.000 A one-way ticket to the nation with which you identify.

00:42:26.000 We don't want you here.

00:42:28.000 And just to be clear, it's not a race thing.

00:42:30.000 Hey, if there's probably a Hispanic person right next to her who is grateful to be here, maybe a Cuban-American immigrant, maybe an Argentinian, maybe a Brazilian-American immigrant who goes, I'm so glad to be here.

00:42:39.000 This is the greatest country in the world.

00:42:40.000 Great.

00:42:41.000 Now, do you have skills?

00:42:42.000 Do you have some value that you can add to this country?

00:42:44.000 Do you pay taxes?

00:42:45.000 Okay, maybe you can stay.

00:42:46.000 Oh, wait a second. 1.00

00:42:47.000 You identify with the country you left because there wasn't opportunity so that you could come here and browbeat Americans and then dictate policy so that we cannot deport pieces of crap like you? 1.00

00:42:57.000 Gone. 0.99

00:42:58.000 By the way, in case you were wondering, yeah, she also endorsed Mom Donnie for mayor of New York City. 0.70

00:43:04.000 So here's the problem.

00:43:06.000 People who left Ireland, people who left Italy, of course Jews across Europe, the Polish folks who came, they came here and then they immediately were American.

00:43:14.000 They came here because they were fleeing something.

00:43:16.000 Right.

00:43:17.000 So if people came here at one point in time from a communist, let's use Cuban Americans as an example. 0.86

00:43:21.000 The single most, we've done a segment of the single most consistent conservative Republican voting block.

00:43:26.000 Why?

00:43:26.000 Because they fled communism.

00:43:27.000 So they come here and go, I reject that.

00:43:29.000 That's a very different immigrant than someone who tries to bring their communism and socialism over here. 1.00

00:43:36.000 So she says Guatemala first and endorses a self-described socialist, Marxist, communist for mayor of a major American city.

00:43:47.000 And then they wonder why you don't trust your institutions.

00:43:50.000 Well, here's why.

00:43:50.000 McCarthy was right.

00:43:52.000 I think that there's a big red scare in our government.

00:43:56.000 Why?

00:43:56.000 Well, because you said you're Guatemala first and you endorsed a communist for mayor of New York City.

00:44:00.000 This isn't a conspiracy.

00:44:01.000 I'm seeing it happen right in front of my eyes.

00:44:02.000 You know who else endorsed the commie, Mom Donnie?

00:44:04.000 Elizabeth Warren, the most awkward, Karen personified human being who's ever walked the planet.

00:44:11.000 Clip, go. 0.83

00:44:12.000 Anyone who thinks that the role of the mayor is to make life work better for working people should be here with Zoran. 0.95

00:44:21.000 Government grocery store.

00:44:22.000 What Zoran is saying is I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City.

00:44:28.000 That's what keeps it a vibrant city.

00:44:30.000 That's what makes people want to live here.

00:44:32.000 Nobody disagrees with that, Senator, but raising taxes in order to do it?

00:44:36.000 Why is that the answer?

00:44:37.000 Oh, dear.

00:44:38.000 Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

00:44:41.000 No, I'm worried that they're going to leave and spend their money elsewhere.

00:44:44.000 You know, they've threatened to do that over and over and over.

00:44:46.000 And they have.

00:44:47.000 They've left.

00:44:48.000 the thing and goldman sacks when they create new jobs they do it in dallas and blackstone won't build a new headquarters okay so elizabeth warren here's the thing just think about the problems that the left creates and then And then their solution is more government.

00:45:03.000 Like, let's just, let's just go.

00:45:04.000 Okay, my perspective, Elizabeth Warren Mamdani.

00:45:07.000 Okay.

00:45:08.000 All right.

00:45:09.000 So, Elizabeth Warren Mamdani, it's create government grocery stores, right?

00:45:14.000 It's socialize more programs, more affordable housing, even though it's never worked.

00:45:17.000 Increase spending.

00:45:18.000 Okay.

00:45:18.000 Then increase taxes on billionaire.

00:45:20.000 Well, not on increase taxes, period.

00:45:22.000 Billionaires leave, multi-millionaires who employ people, they leave, right?

00:45:26.000 They've seen a net population loss.

00:45:28.000 Okay, this is the result of their problems.

00:45:29.000 And then they want to create a law that punishes people for leaving New York City.

00:45:32.000 Remember that?

00:45:33.000 So create the problem that results in people leaving.

00:45:37.000 Then use the iron fist of the government to prevent you from leaving.

00:45:40.000 Well, they claim that they're for the working class Americans and they're the party of freedom. 0.78

00:45:43.000 Okay, here's my solution: don't do all the crap that forces people to leave in the first place.

00:45:48.000 Just don't increase taxes. 0.82

00:45:49.000 Just don't do government grocery stores.

00:45:51.000 So don't create the problem.

00:45:53.000 Me?

00:45:54.000 Create the problem, then forbid people from solving the problem for themselves and their own personal lives.

00:46:00.000 And then, of course, tell everyone that you're the party of freedom.

00:46:02.000 I'm going to say, stay out of our bedroom.

00:46:03.000 Whenever the left acts as though they care about freedom or the Constitution, you know they're lying.

00:46:07.000 They only care about it as it relates to hard, hardcore drugs, abortion, or two homos getting married. 1.00

00:46:14.000 That's it.

00:46:16.000 They don't care about your freedoms.

00:46:17.000 They want to take everything that you make to put it into a grocery store that doesn't work and then forbid you from leaving.

00:46:25.000 No wonder this person who's Guatemala first loves it because that's the kind of country she comes from.

00:46:30.000 You know, an inferior country. 0.72

00:46:32.000 But hey.

00:46:32.000 Sounds like Cuba.

00:46:34.000 Yeah, it sounds like government stores can't leave. 0.99

00:46:37.000 But these people, for some reason, are different from Cuban Americans where they embrace the crap that they left. 1.00

00:46:41.000 We don't want you here. 0.99

00:46:44.000 Unless you abandon all of it, then we don't want you here.

00:46:47.000 You're going to bring it here?

00:46:48.000 No, you're not welcome.

00:46:48.000 But if you disagree with me, look, you can send your support or your criticisms to our district in Illinois.

00:46:54.000 It's Illinois' third district.

00:46:56.000 Call.

00:46:57.000 Ask her to clarify.

00:46:58.000 Ramirez at 202-225-5701.

00:47:02.000 That's Representative Ramirez.

00:47:04.000 Guatemala first at 202-225-5701.

00:47:10.000 Okay.

00:47:11.000 You should see her totally not gerrymandered district.

00:47:14.000 Yes.

00:47:16.000 Is it?

00:47:17.000 Yeah, dude.

00:47:17.000 It's like a sliver.

00:47:20.000 It does not look like a natural district at all.

00:47:23.000 It looks like a very gerrymander district.

00:47:25.000 No, only the right Illinois has done.

00:47:27.000 Only the right gerrymander is just like this issue.

00:47:30.000 Hey, have you seen my AI dead child to push for gun control?

00:47:34.000 Here's another error, though, calling balls and strikes on the right.

00:47:37.000 There we go.

00:47:38.000 This one's pretty bad.

00:47:41.000 Pissed a lot of people off yesterday.

00:47:44.000 Whoever is spearheading the messaging at the White House.

00:47:51.000 Yeah, shouldn't.

00:47:52.000 Shouldn't.

00:47:52.000 It shouldn't have a job anymore.

00:47:54.000 Tonk the brakes. 0.95

00:47:55.000 So we talked about this yesterday, right?

00:47:57.000 The declining support for Israel in particularly young Americans right now.

00:48:02.000 Now, that doesn't determine what is right.

00:48:04.000 You know, policy can't just be dictated by polls.

00:48:07.000 But it does determine how you navigate your messaging.

00:48:12.000 And it seems as though those in this administration have said, well, yeah, we don't care because we want to reach that median viewer, which is 72 years old at Fox News.

00:48:22.000 Let me give you this recent one.

00:48:23.000 So on Monday, Axios released a DHS notice, which apparently found that FEMA disaster relief could be denied to states who boycotted Israeli companies.

00:48:34.000 Now, there's more to this story.

00:48:35.000 There are a couple of twists here.

00:48:36.000 So this is from the article that says discriminatory, prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations, or otherwise limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by a licensed by.

00:48:50.000 So very, very broad language, but this was found.

00:48:53.000 It's the same word over and over: Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israeli.

00:48:57.000 It seems like that shouldn't be mentioned so much in any type of domestic policy.

00:49:01.000 It's different than I would have thought.

00:49:02.000 Especially one that determines how taxpayer dollars are spent for American taxpayers.

00:49:10.000 So this was found there by Axios.

00:49:12.000 And by the way, all states, according to them, have to, at least in this paper, also commit to being circumcised by Gilbert Godfrey's ghost.

00:49:21.000 Just a little off the top.

00:49:25.000 Oh, geez.

00:49:26.000 So that's going to be recurring.

00:49:30.000 Then there was a whole bunch of outrage.

00:49:31.000 Rightfully so.

00:49:32.000 People going, what?

00:49:33.000 And I agree.

00:49:33.000 My position is Israel should have nothing to do with how we spend our disaster relief funds.

00:49:39.000 Nothing whatsoever.

00:49:41.000 I wouldn't deny disaster relief funds from someone who just happens to vote Democrat.

00:49:44.000 Now, if you're talking about a sanctuary city that is harboring criminals and creating a hellscape for their citizens, that's different.

00:49:50.000 This is a real problem.

00:49:51.000 And can you guys, if you are a die-hard supporter of Israel, let's say, and I think most people here would be considered Jewish shills along with being Nazis, depending on the day.

00:50:02.000 You support Israel in their war against Samos. 0.85

00:50:04.000 Do you also, don't you think it's pretty reasonable to also think that this is morally reprehensible?

00:50:09.000 Comment below.

00:50:10.000 I think that's a pretty sensible position, and I think most people would agree with that.

00:50:14.000 So the outrage took place, and the DHS responded denying the accusation.

00:50:21.000 And I'll just, just to sort of tip you off, lying.

00:50:26.000 So they said there is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current NOFO.

00:50:30.000 DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in anti-Semitism.

00:50:38.000 But here's the problem.

00:50:41.000 You would think they're telling the truth because the current document that's available does not have that language in there regarding Israel.

00:50:48.000 And so that's one of those things where sometimes these stories circulate and we go, oh, okay, all right.

00:50:51.000 So conspiracy theorists are just circulating something that's false.

00:50:54.000 But the reason it's not there is because the DHS removed it after the outrage.

00:51:00.000 They removed it and then lied to you and said, oh, that's not there.

00:51:03.000 Yeah, but it was.

00:51:04.000 Well, it's not there now.

00:51:05.000 Yeah, but people were mad because it was.

00:51:08.000 Voters are not there anymore.

00:51:09.000 But it was.

00:51:12.000 We took it off an hour ago.

00:51:13.000 What are you talking about?

00:51:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:51:16.000 This is really bad and certainly doesn't seem like swamp draining.

00:51:21.000 The quartering, who is here in the lineup, actually showed the old language and said, but it's literally on your website.

00:51:27.000 Yes. 0.99

00:51:29.000 People pointed out it was literally on their website, to which the ghost of Gilbert Godfrey responded, son of a bitch. 0.99

00:51:38.000 That was pretty much. 0.99

00:51:40.000 Thank you, Gilbert.

00:51:44.000 So why?

00:51:45.000 I guess the question is, why would they, we have to get to India here in a second, but why would they do this?

00:51:50.000 Why would this be shoehorned in there?

00:51:53.000 And how does this have anything to do with putting America first?

00:51:57.000 Can anyone come up with any?

00:51:59.000 In other words, when people say these people are bought and paid for, they're controlled.

00:52:02.000 Okay.

00:52:04.000 What's the counter argument against that?

00:52:05.000 And I don't know that there is one for at least people in charge of messaging in this administration.

00:52:10.000 Yeah, definitely not.

00:52:11.000 Yeah, this was a mistake.

00:52:13.000 And I don't, look, let's just, there's an argument on the state, right?

00:52:17.000 We covered this with Texas.

00:52:18.000 They did something with one of the cities that wanted to boycott it, specifically Israel.

00:52:22.000 And we went into the details of that, but that's on a state level.

00:52:25.000 It's a little bit different thing.

00:52:26.000 You can maybe agree or disagree.

00:52:28.000 I still disagree, but nonetheless, it's a Different thing.

00:52:30.000 The federal government now, if you're just basically saying, like, hey, we just don't want to do business with them because we don't support the war in Gaza. 0.69

00:52:37.000 You may not be supported by other people who have different opinions, but you're not actively doing something to harm Americans.

00:52:43.000 Right.

00:52:43.000 Denying them federal assistance in the aftermath of a tragic flood, earthquake, hurricane, whatever it may be, is actively hurting American citizens for their opinion.

00:52:53.000 Yeah, I would say that's the same thing.

00:52:54.000 That has no place in this country ever. 1.00

00:52:57.000 And to specifically list Israel is moronic. 0.98

00:53:01.000 You should just, if you're going to do it, I don't think you should do it. 0.98

00:53:03.000 If you're going to do it, though, just say any country in good standing with the United States of America to make sure the optics are at least a little bit better, even though it still sucks.

00:53:10.000 I still don't agree with it, though.

00:53:11.000 So if you do that, there's different things you can do.

00:53:13.000 There's different funds you can hold back.

00:53:15.000 You don't hold back FEMA funds.

00:53:16.000 You don't hold back emergency funds.

00:53:17.000 No, at all.

00:53:18.000 No, absolutely.

00:53:19.000 That's people's lives.

00:53:21.000 Yes.

00:53:21.000 Oh, you said all that.

00:53:23.000 People have fought wars over their livelihoods.

00:53:25.000 Well, here's something else, too, is this also makes it really hard.

00:53:28.000 Like, for example, when kids are vandalizing school grounds and blocking students at Colombia and harassing Jews, and we say, yeah, those people absolutely should be kicked off campus.

00:53:35.000 And if they're here on a visa, they should be deported because they are disrupting Americans' lives and they are committing crimes. 0.99

00:53:41.000 Then you had people who said, yeah, well, that's just because they're Jewish. 0.97

00:53:44.000 This is just a Jewish conspiracy. 1.00

00:53:45.000 This gives ammo to those people.

00:53:48.000 I still think you shouldn't be able to vandalize public or private property on behalf of Hamas, a terrorist organization. 0.97

00:53:56.000 That being said, you absolutely, you can hate Jews for all I care. 0.95

00:54:00.000 And if you are in a hurricane zone, it should be taken into account. 0.98

00:54:05.000 Zero.

00:54:06.000 Zero.

00:54:07.000 Yeah.

00:54:09.000 I just, sometimes I feel like there are people in this administration who really don't know what it is that you voted for, who are so completely out of touch.

00:54:19.000 And they can't make many more missteps like this because it's going to cost them.

00:54:23.000 It's going to cost them a lot.

00:54:25.000 It's right on the heels of the whole Wailing Wall incident that we talked about yesterday.

00:54:28.000 It's just like one step after another, guys.

00:54:30.000 It's like, listen, I'm trying to, I'm trying to find the common sense kind of place to interpret these things reasonably.

00:54:37.000 You're making it very difficult right now.

00:54:40.000 Very, very difficult.

00:54:41.000 Stop with the Israel stuff. 0.97

00:54:43.000 Like, Israel is some special case that we have to always defend or base every decision on. 0.79

00:54:49.000 I don't care if it's the most backwoods, redneck, racist a-holes that you can find on the college campus at the University of Alabama saying the N-words can't go to class.

00:54:59.000 They're getting kicked off too.

00:55:00.000 It's the same thing.

00:55:00.000 Yeah, of course they are.

00:55:01.000 It's not that Israel is special, so stop acting like Israel is special. 0.93

00:55:05.000 Otherwise, we're going to think maybe APAC is making some inroads.

00:55:09.000 Maybe, you know what, maybe some of these conspiracy theories over here about Mossad and Epstein and all this other stuff, maybe that rings a little bit more true now.

00:55:15.000 You're creating all of those things that you say are really bad and corrosive for our society.

00:55:20.000 You're creating anti-Semites. 0.90

00:55:22.000 It's the same thing the left did with racism.

00:55:23.000 Yeah.

00:55:24.000 Stop it.

00:55:25.000 Yeah.

00:55:25.000 Well, I'll say this, just I think there is an equivalency here.

00:55:28.000 Representative Ramirez, I'm Guatemala first, gone.

00:55:31.000 If you're a representative here and you say, well, Israel first and foremost, gone.

00:55:36.000 Yes, gone.

00:55:38.000 Gone.

00:55:38.000 That's it.

00:55:40.000 Okay?

00:55:40.000 This is not your welcome, Matt.

00:55:42.000 No, no.

00:55:43.000 No.

00:55:43.000 It's the greatest country on earth.

00:55:44.000 That's it.

00:55:45.000 It's not your welcome, Matt.

00:55:46.000 It's not your place to use.

00:55:47.000 It's the greatest country on earth.

00:55:49.000 And if you are so blessed to be an ally who we treat well benevolently, we'll look out for you after Americans are taken care of first.

00:55:57.000 And that includes Israel.

00:56:00.000 I don't know why this is hard for people in this administration.

00:56:02.000 And I will say that I do think that they have conflicting interests.

00:56:06.000 I do think, and the Mossad thing is not necessarily even a conspiracy.

00:56:09.000 Now, it doesn't mean only Mossad.

00:56:10.000 If I say, of course, all governments engage in espionage.

00:56:14.000 You guys know the French are some of the worst historically and still up to this day. 1.00

00:56:18.000 And smelly. 0.99

00:56:19.000 Yes, smelly.

00:56:20.000 And I mean, for credit.

00:56:22.000 I don't know why they don't use running.

00:56:23.000 Even the Romans had aqueducts, French. 0.99

00:56:26.000 But they're not great spies.

00:56:29.000 Who is the spy in here?

00:56:31.000 I don't know.

00:56:32.000 Who's the spy?

00:56:33.000 Maybe it is the Azar guy. 0.99

00:56:35.000 Yes.

00:56:36.000 Don't look at me.

00:56:40.000 We're kind of looking at you.

00:56:41.000 Oh, I figure.

00:56:45.000 All right.

00:56:46.000 Well, here's one we can all agree with.

00:56:48.000 That's going to piss us off even more. 1.00

00:56:49.000 India sucks. 1.00

00:56:51.000 And here's the thing. 0.99

00:56:52.000 I know that often we'll get a lot of views in India if I talk about Modi or someone who's done something relatively well there because they sort of have been presenting as an ally.

00:57:02.000 Well, it turns out that that was largely fraudulent.

00:57:06.000 And on a personal level, as far as immigrant groups, Indian Americans are among my least favorite. 1.00

00:57:16.000 Just as far as the culture, as far as assimilation, as far as the leering, as far as full-grown men holding hands, I think it's weird. 0.63

00:57:23.000 And it's just not really my jam.

00:57:25.000 But if you come here in your America first, okay, I understand that. 0.98

00:57:28.000 However, India has been playing both sides on this one.

00:57:33.000 So you've probably heard this quite a bit.

00:57:36.000 And you hear it increasingly from people in tech, which is kind of worrisome, that India is the future, despite the fact that half their civilization lives in actual poop. 1.00

00:57:47.000 They're the future.

00:57:48.000 I thought you said the past.

00:57:51.000 They're our great ally, and they're certainly our next greatest, most significant ally.

00:57:56.000 You've heard all this.

00:57:57.000 And I really believe that the future of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States-India partnership.

00:58:06.000 I'm pleased to report that with today's announcements, the friendship between the United States and India is the strongest I believe it's ever been.

00:58:14.000 I think our relationship is the best it's ever been between two leaders of the two countries.

00:58:19.000 I tell you, we're going to have a fantastic relationship, and it'll make both countries much stronger.

00:58:25.000 The president thinks America first, but he does not think America only or America exclusively.

00:58:34.000 He's going to take care of his allies.

00:58:36.000 He's going to make sure he takes care of India, who he deeply, deeply admires and respects.

00:58:41.000 The future of American innovation, the key driver of our economy, will depend on our immigration policies with India. 0.98

00:58:48.000 But what if I told you that all of that was based on a lie?

00:58:53.000 And India, as a nation, as a government, and by the way, as a people, by and large, has been dishonest. 0.89

00:58:59.000 They've been dishonest economically.

00:59:02.000 They've betrayed us by engaging in trade and business with our enemies.

00:59:07.000 And they're doing so while telling us that, no, no, no, no, no, no, we are friends.

00:59:10.000 We are your best friend and none of it is true.

00:59:13.000 This brings us to this week's Eye on India. 0.99

00:59:20.000 What sucks! 0.99

00:59:23.000 All right. 0.96

00:59:23.000 So let me give you the what references available. 0.96

00:59:26.000 So last week, Trump announced he would hit India with a 25% tariff.

00:59:30.000 Okay.

00:59:31.000 Good.

00:59:31.000 Now, let me give you the why.

00:59:34.000 And a follow-up, Monday, President Trump announced even tougher measures, potentially greater tariffs.

00:59:40.000 And he explained on truth.

00:59:41.000 He said, India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it in the open market for big profits.

00:59:52.000 They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine.

00:59:57.000 Because of this, I will be substantially raising The tariff paid by India to the USA better than India. 0.88

01:00:05.000 Some people say, by some, I mean everyone.

01:00:08.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter, President DJT.

01:00:13.000 And it's true. 0.56

01:00:15.000 By the way, two people die by train every hour in India.

01:00:18.000 I just think that's an interesting fact when people say all cultures are the same.

01:00:21.000 Yes, trains kill two people in India each hour.

01:00:25.000 Think about that.

01:00:26.000 Animals avoid giant, loud, screaming metal objects.

01:00:31.000 It's on a track.

01:00:32.000 You have to go to it.

01:00:34.000 Yeah, it's on.

01:00:35.000 You can't go anywhere else.

01:00:37.000 Yeah.

01:00:37.000 Derailments.

01:00:38.000 And I'm not saying it's the only thing wrong with India. 1.00

01:00:41.000 It's just a big one.

01:00:42.000 It's just one restaurant.

01:00:43.000 But it's 2025 there too.

01:00:44.000 How are you people getting killed by?

01:00:47.000 And it's just because it's an entirely different culture.

01:00:49.000 It's true.

01:00:50.000 They've been engaging in trade with our enemies while trying to take advantage of Americans while trying to take advantage not only of Americans themselves, but American businesses.

01:00:59.000 And I'm talking about the scam, the scam deals that happen.

01:01:02.000 I don't know how almost all of the telemarketing scams that rob old people of their social security checks come from one country, which would seem like it's not a very empathetic people, which would seem like maybe there's some kind of a moral vacuum in India. 0.83

01:01:14.000 Seems like Hinduism isn't filling that.

01:01:16.000 Also, American businesses are being exploited and our government is being exploited.

01:01:21.000 At the same time, they're doing a lot of stuff behind our back.

01:01:24.000 For example, acting as a loophole for China to avoid tariffs and buying Russian oil.

01:01:30.000 Basically, India is taking advantage of the United States gleefully, and President Trump's the only one doing anything about it. 0.99

01:01:54.000 It's fine because he lived.

01:01:56.000 He was not one of the two people per hour.

01:01:58.000 By the way, there's a study that shows in some regions, 50% of the train deaths are from selfie videos.

01:02:06.000 Two people die by train every hour.

01:02:08.000 That guy, not one of them.

01:02:09.000 How many people are injured by training?

01:02:13.000 And how many of them gang rape water monitor lizards? 1.00

01:02:18.000 At least four.

01:02:19.000 All cultures are the same. 0.72

01:02:21.000 If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, I'm just using this as an example to show you that cultures are different. 0.99

01:02:28.000 If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, this happened in India, by the way.

01:02:35.000 There would be multiple steps that, frankly, would probably act as a barrier to entry.

01:02:39.000 First off, you'd have to find a group large enough of other people who too wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard.

01:02:44.000 That's what that group chat looked like.

01:02:46.000 Yeah, it must be pretty tough.

01:02:47.000 You don't want that signal leaked.

01:02:49.000 And then they would have to, of course, if they assume you find a posse of water monitor lizard rape enthusiasts large enough, you would then have to find a water monitor lizard.

01:03:01.000 And you would then have to make sure that you could get this water monitor lizard isolated because any witness in the United States would, of course, say this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life.

01:03:11.000 They didn't even have to do that in India.

01:03:12.000 They pretty much did it in plain view. 0.95

01:03:14.000 Eight people said, do you want to rape the lizard? 0.99

01:03:16.000 And seven other people said, yes. 0.96

01:03:19.000 I don't think so.

01:03:20.000 And they just did it.

01:03:20.000 They just went to town in front of people like, that's right, let's put our back into it.

01:03:24.000 It's just not the same kind of a culture. 0.99

01:03:27.000 It's something that when anyone says they eat prey love and India is a very spiritual place, you know that that person has lived an asshole's life because it is devoid of any spiritual moral ethics whatsoever. 0.99

01:03:38.000 And you know what? 0.99

01:03:39.000 Let's be honest. 1.00

01:03:39.000 A lot of their food is overrated crap. 1.00

01:03:42.000 Some of it's good. 1.00

01:03:43.000 Some of it's good. 0.98

01:03:43.000 Some of it's overrated crap, as seen by our latest harvest right taste test. 0.98

01:03:50.000 Okay, for today's test, meal A will be Harvest Rite freeze-dried fruit salad. 0.97

01:03:58.000 And for meal B, we have Punjabi Street Banana.

01:05:34.000 That in and of itself is delicious and way better.

01:05:36.000 Yeah, it's better than the Indian stream. 0.99

01:05:38.000 Also, sticks can poke.

01:05:40.000 Yes, they can.

01:05:40.000 You almost ended up as a Gerald kebab.

01:05:42.000 I did, actually.

01:05:43.000 I have a lot of blood.

01:05:44.000 Yeah, I'm saying, but you look good as a kebab. 1.00

01:05:46.000 That's a good look for you.

01:05:47.000 There's going to be a surge of Indian orders.

01:05:48.000 You're going to have to Gerald Morgan has good kebabs. 0.99

01:05:52.000 Now, the blood.

01:05:54.000 Let me go through this economically as far as governments, as far as businesses, and as far as you, just the average American citizen, how you are screwed on this raw deal by India playing like they are an ally. 0.97

01:06:08.000 So some key facts for you.

01:06:09.000 Key fact number one.

01:06:11.000 It's true.

01:06:11.000 India is buying a massive amount of Russian oil.

01:06:16.000 Let's personalize this.

01:06:18.000 Your best friend, you find out, is supporting your worst enemy.

01:06:24.000 Your best friend is buying meals and, I don't know, making a down payment on the house of the guy who your wife cheated on you with, right?

01:06:33.000 Like that, hey, you're a friend.

01:06:34.000 No, no, no, you're not a friend.

01:06:35.000 Why?

01:06:36.000 Because you're buying huge amounts of oil from someone who is not an ally.

01:06:41.000 And the left should be on board with this because they hate Russia more than anything.

01:06:44.000 So to give you an idea, 0.2% in pre-invasion, sorry, India, of crude imports came from Russia.

01:06:50.000 Now, that's 40 to 50% of India's crude imports.

01:06:54.000 They're coming from Russia. 0.76

01:06:56.000 That's $50 billion in new annual income for Russia.

01:07:01.000 And by the way, even some of that crude, it comes through some U.S. sanction.

01:07:04.000 They've already been sanctioned tankers, to be clear.

01:07:05.000 So it's not like this isn't on our radar, to be clear.

01:07:09.000 They know what they're doing.

01:07:11.000 They could be engaging in trade honestly with the United States.

01:07:14.000 They're not.

01:07:15.000 They're supporting an enemy.

01:07:16.000 And for Donald Trump, and this is the thing, someone who believes in peace through strength, but he wants to pull economic levers before we ever have to send troops into Russia.

01:07:24.000 That becomes really hard to do if you're getting undercut by your supposed greatest ally.

01:07:30.000 Think about that.

01:07:31.000 In other words, you can't squeeze Russia if India decides, oh, no, we'll pick up the slack to the tune of 50% of our crude imports.
