00:02:52.300 i love that because that's true a jackal i feel like we need music playing in the background

00:03:01.740 sometimes like just of our show yeah like just like some kind of like ambient music i don't know

00:03:08.500 very nice lovely okay so now that that's happening now this is what i'm calling for me maybe i want

00:03:18.580 to see if you guys feel the same way i feel like this is like our cringy video of the day

00:03:24.260 and it's featuring uh president trump and cheryl atkinson they had a sit down interview she's

00:03:32.180 amazing you guys cheryl if you don't follow our own x start immediately um but so remember when

00:03:39.140 elon came in and we were like you know fort knox and the gold and this and that and then a lot of

00:03:43.780 us here were like you know did they find it did they find it i just want to play this and then

00:03:48.340 chat about it um after but oh it's cringy for me okay here we go what happened to the audit of fort

00:03:54.740 knox which one are you talking about there was i think when you first got into office you and

00:04:01.460 You and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold to make sure it's there.

00:04:03.580 Well, we wanted to go knock on the door, Fort Knox, a very thick door, and to see whether

00:04:08.400 or not we have any gold in there, because if we take a look at it, it's a very interesting

00:04:13.080 question.

00:04:13.920 We played with that.

00:04:16.120 I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox, because they steal a lot.

00:04:20.100 No need to really do that, though?

00:04:21.420 Well, I don't know.

00:04:22.380 I think it's...

00:04:23.640 I do want to go to Fort Knox sometime.

00:04:25.840 I want to see if the gold is there, which I'm sure it will be.

00:04:31.460 oh hello knock knock fort knox oh and come on isn't that bizarre

00:04:39.860 excuse me it is yeah i mean i think uh you know it was kind of a mystery as to how he he made a

00:04:47.980 big deal out of saying we're going to fort knox we're doing this audit we're gonna actually see

00:04:51.540 the gold there and then all of a sudden it just got aborted and i'm kind of wondering if uh i was

00:04:56.760 wondering at the time like did somebody tell him sir you don't want to do this because it would

00:05:00.220 caused a lot of problems uh was there ever gold there is there a goal there is the gold gone where

00:05:06.600 the gold go marcella i've seen stories that other countries at least a couple of them i think have

00:05:13.160 pulled their gold out of fort knox and so i'm wondering if they're also thinking maybe i don't

00:05:17.040 want to leave my gold there and i'm not sure what what's happening over there do you think it went

00:05:21.680 to like william devane and all of his gold commercials that that's where they were taking

00:05:26.780 it from? I don't know. Good question. Liberty Gold. I am just kidding. Liberty Gold. I don't

00:05:34.500 even know who you are. I just hear your name. Marcella. I mean, like, weren't we all like

00:05:39.620 waiting to see this? Well, that's interesting that he, he was, you know, President Trump is usually,

00:05:47.460 you know, able to answer questions very well. And this question he did not answer very well.

00:05:54.400 so at least to in my opinion and to me it makes it even more suspicious now it was suspicious

00:06:04.080 before when they didn't actually follow through but now with his answer it's like yeah now i want

00:06:10.240 to i really want to know and like i think heraldo should go there with his camera

00:06:14.640 and watch them knock on the door at fort knox i'm picturing like this whole big vault out in

00:06:19.840 the middle of the desert just like with a big wheel for a doorknob anyway i didn't like that

00:06:26.880 i felt like it was cringy i don't know about you guys but now i want to know even more thank you

00:06:33.040 um oh marcella this clip is for you so you know we always uh would tell you guys how when we went

00:06:40.960 to california and marcella was was so kind to drive us everywhere in her self-driving car what

00:06:47.760 What do you call it? Full self-driving. So now my friend Mindy, who you've all heard about, 1.00

00:06:53.800 she's like, my next car, I'm going to get a Tesla or something similar so it can drive me

00:06:59.480 everywhere. And Mindy, we all strongly suggest you get the Tesla, not a different brand

00:07:05.080 because we support Elon. All right. So look at this grandma. She goes for her first full

00:07:13.740 self-driving uh experiment and this is what it looks like and this is what freaked me out marcella

00:07:20.220 is because we were you know in your car during the day and at night but at night there's like no

00:07:24.700 dash lights there's like no dashboard happening it's really strange there's nothing in front of

00:07:29.660 to you. But here's the cutest grandma. She's like, do I touch the wheel? Now also, let's

00:07:51.400 just say, God forbid there was an incident. She cannot reach the gas pedal or the steering 0.90

00:07:56.020 wheel but that's okay uh it makes me nervous marcella what mode did you have yours then

00:08:05.300 mad max mad max if grandma was a mad max she'd be like oh my god she's probably in standard mode

00:08:14.440 but it's very safe people think i'm always driving

00:08:21.460 and at a stop sign they like go go and i'm like my car doesn't go just because you say so and

00:08:29.120 it's pretty amazing so now marcella is it true that if you're look it's going faster

00:08:37.140 yeah she's kind of scared she's kind of scared she's like oh gonna hold the door

00:08:42.540 so isn't it true or is it true if you have a tesla like you don't always need the new tesla

00:08:52.260 because it's the software that updates right yeah like that particular one is the new model y

00:08:59.780 and that one at night they have a light all over the car that you can change the color so you'll

00:09:06.440 like that. The, the old one that I have doesn't have that. So it's completely dark, right?

00:09:14.440 Yeah. So that's the good thing about it is that once you buy a Tesla, even if you have an older

00:09:21.440 Tesla, they, once you buy, you have to buy FSD. So you do have to buy it separately from the car

00:09:29.480 to, you know, while you're, when you buy it, or you can pay a monthly fee. I think it's like

00:09:34.880 a hundred dollars a month but don't quote me on that but um basically it it gives you the updates

00:09:43.660 for free sort of like you only have to buy it once you don't have to keep on paying anything

00:09:50.400 um which is great so an older car will have the new updates as well well but i think they do give

00:09:57.620 updates but i think i have seen stories that say that older models don't they they aren't capable

00:10:03.640 of the actual full self-driving like unsupervised full self-driving so i think there is a cutoff

00:10:08.740 there where some of the newer models have the full the real full self-driving but some of the older

00:10:14.800 ones are kind of not quite as capable so i think there is a difference but um you know there i'm

00:10:21.640 sure to some extent what you're saying is true that there are some you know that there are

00:10:27.320 software updates and a lot of the capabilities could be upgraded um after you buy it so you

00:10:33.120 know it'll keep getting better as you go but again i think there is some i don't know what i don't

00:10:38.140 know what the cutoff is or what when they changed over to new hardware but i think it's based on the

00:10:42.640 ai chip capabilities or whatever it is that some some of them are more capable than others uh yeah

00:10:48.060 so lang was saying here different number of cameras on old tesla is prohibited so obviously

00:10:53.680 it needs like many many cameras so anyway if you if you bought a tesla in the last couple of years

00:10:59.920 with full self-driving you should be set and fine for updates the older ones you probably can't just

00:11:04.960 add it but you know if you bought one now moving forward you're good to go and if the software

00:11:10.160 improves it's just a matter of like an update on your computer right marcella yeah download the

00:11:16.000 update so pretty interesting so everyone make sure mindy gets the message that it must be a tesla

00:11:22.800 and not like a toyota or something um i like mindy now i really like mindy now if only if

00:11:30.220 she gets the tesla me maybe yeah yeah yeah see mindy friendships are riding on it um so i just 0.51

00:11:37.940 thought that was interesting i like seeing her you know like an older woman like a grandma in there

00:11:43.080 so sweet um all right so we're gonna get on with like the newsy news and marcella is has been out 0.86

00:11:50.960 on assignment. And she knows, like, she's like, I was like, all right, Marcella, we had like a

00:11:56.000 newsroom meeting last night. I had the cap on like with the pen in my ear and like the pad and the

00:12:01.060 paper cigar. And I was like, your beat is California. You got California. You want to

00:12:07.040 know about the governor, the mayor. We want to know about the fraud. You may want to move states.

00:12:12.880 So Marcella is definitely covering for us. Oh my God, the fraud, like this crazy fraud,

00:12:20.620 Not that the fraud is so shocking, but are we going to get paid back?

00:12:24.720 Let's play a little clip.

00:12:26.000 And then, Marcella, I want to get paid back.

00:12:28.820 I know you do.

00:12:29.640 I want to get paid back for all the fraud we've ever had.

00:12:32.200 Okay, let's hope that this is the right clip, you guys.

00:12:35.640 You know how it goes.

00:12:36.320 Here we go.

00:12:37.680 In California, the Trump administration says the state owes the federal government more than a billion dollars for health care given to illegal immigrants.

00:12:46.800 William Lajeunesse has a story from L.A.

00:12:48.520 Hi, William.

00:12:49.700 Well, Dana, there are two stories here, right?

00:12:51.600 One is how rising costs have forced blue states to roll back health care for those without legal status.

00:12:57.860 The other is the White House crackdown on eligibility.

00:13:01.420 If states can't confirm those getting care are U.S. citizens, they have to pay the feds back.

00:13:08.140 We are auditing aggressively, and we don't like what we see.

00:13:11.680 In March, the Trump administration began auditing states that provide illegal immigrants with routine health care paid for by American taxpayers.

00:13:21.140 Their findings, seven states and the District of Columbia owe nearly $1.4 billion for using federal, not state, money for immigrant care.

00:13:30.680 Topping the list, California, followed by New York and Illinois.

00:13:36.220 Oh, Illinois.

00:13:38.040 listen it was almost three of us represented but new jersey good for you you're probably fourth

00:13:46.680 so marcella what the heck is happening i mean it's i hope they they have money to pay for it

00:13:55.960 there's budget issues in california so basically what it means is that cms is really cracking down

00:14:01.800 on them using Medicaid funds to pay for non-emergency for illegal immigrants.

00:14:11.960 So they have a program where federal funds can be used only for emergency services for non-citizens.

00:14:22.040 But they were using it for regular, allegedly, they were using it for regular services.

00:14:30.640 So one of the things that came out is that, like he said, CMS preliminary audit identified California as the largest offender, but Illinois is Washington, Oregon, Colorado, D.C. with over $1 billion in question.

00:14:46.720 Total across states was, so California was the $1 billion, but across states it's about $1.3 billion.

00:14:57.160 Wow, California.

00:14:59.340 I know.

00:14:59.820 jeez yeah it's quite a lot of fraud i think we can like you know maybe balance the budget

00:15:08.700 with all this crack with the payback yeah so not after you pay back the government

00:15:13.900 billion dollars well the crackdown is also for future uh items cms and hhs have increased

00:15:23.740 oversight which does not allow further you know craziness with yeah but if the federal government

00:15:30.300 was paying for it then they're not going to pay for it anymore so that would be budget neutral

00:15:34.220 and then you got to find that billion dollars to pay back the federal government that you already

00:15:38.280 paid out to people so seems like you've got a bigger budget hole to deal with so the billion

00:15:43.500 has to go back into the tax coffer so to speak right yeah so oh boy oh boy i think this is great

00:15:53.240 because they'll limit the fraud you know people are going to be afraid well i like how they want

00:15:57.640 to try to worry about the future for all that they know is coming too so this is why i voted

00:16:04.040 for trump finally oh and what do you want to say anything more about that that's pretty brutal

00:16:11.880 i mean i think it's ridiculous it seems like california is by and far the worst offender

00:16:16.920 um you know certainly illinois is number three on the list i'm not defending them at all but it's

00:16:21.320 It's not nearly the magnitude of what we're seeing in California.

00:16:24.800 So I think it's pretty incredible with the level of fraud and the amounts in places like

00:16:30.500 Minnesota, but it seems like California may be the worst in the country for fraud, just

00:16:35.920 based on all the stories we're seeing.

00:16:37.260 Do you think this fraud being brought to light stemmed from Nick Shirley?

00:16:46.060 I think he definitely played a role in it.

00:16:48.080 And I know after he was done in Minnesota, he headed out to California, and then they found all these hospice centers and things that were going on.

00:16:54.840 I think you could argue that the Medicaid to illegal immigrants, you know, I guess you could call it fraud.

00:17:02.780 I don't know that it was necessarily fraud because it wasn't necessarily like it was a totally fake service in all cases.

00:17:09.800 I mean, maybe it was in some cases that people were just faking it and submitting Medicaid claims that never were given to anybody.

00:17:15.320 That would be fraud. But I think some of it might just be that California decided we're just going to give everybody eligibility when that's not really allowed by the law. And so, you know, it's breaking the law, but I don't know if I would necessarily call it fraud. But I think it does seem like even the hospice fraud and all the other kinds of fraud seem to be much bigger in California than anywhere else.

00:17:35.460 yeah um so you have uh dr oz dr memet oz and uh jd vance i guess they're all like so dr oz is

00:17:47.700 working on the medicaid fraud vance is working on fraud in general so all right i mean i like

00:17:54.500 that because the only people working on fraud before were the fraudsters so this is this is a

00:18:00.000 good turnabout um just to clarify yeah um this particular 1 billion that uh california would owe

00:18:07.920 to the federal government is not fraud it's just they didn't follow the rules um but it wouldn't

00:18:14.780 be fraud like owen said but the other thing is that they started this preliminary audit cms started

00:18:21.440 it uh in the middle uh late to 2025 before the nick shirley stuff so it was an ongoing thing

00:18:29.200 It's just, I think it was always ongoing, even under Biden. It's just nobody cracked down.

00:18:34.520 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just like, yeah. I like, you know, I want to say so many things,

00:18:40.660 but it doesn't matter. It's just my personal emotions again. So, well, this is good. I mean,

00:18:47.000 I think one thing will lead to another, to another, it will have a snowball effect and,

00:18:52.000 you know exposing it is good um all right so owen i want to toss over to you for uh one of your

00:19:00.120 news stories that you're covering for us today when you travel well your klm royal dutch airlines

00:19:05.880 ticket takes you to more than just your destination it takes you to front row views

00:19:11.280 voices lost in the music and new shared memories and when the last song fades welcome aboard

00:19:19.340 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right nuts.

00:19:28.020 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:19:32.740 Behind every F-35 jet is a Canadian company.

00:19:35.960 Horizontal tails built in Winnipeg, engine sensors from Ottawa,

00:19:38.860 and stealth composite panels crafted in Lunenburg to name just a few.

00:19:42.080 Thanks to thousands of skilled Canadian workers,

00:19:44.260 the F-35 aircraft is delivering unmatched capabilities for 20 allied nations around the world

00:19:48.780 and will generate more than $15.5 billion in industrial value for Canada.

00:20:03.640 Sure. So there's a story about an angry mom that defeated a data center. 0.97

00:20:08.720 This was in Wisconsin, and apparently she was an activist,

00:20:14.520 um had did some organizing before relating to environmental things and multiple sclerosis and

00:20:21.640 things like that but um she learned about this data center proposal that was 12 miles away from

00:20:27.160 where she was living and didn't like that idea and decided to try and fight it she started some

00:20:31.760 kind of facebook group to inform people about it and it got like 2 000 members within the first two

00:20:38.140 days. And as of now, it's like 3,700 people. And she got a bunch of publicity. And then the

00:20:45.900 facility got shut down. The place, I think it's a development firm, Cloverleaf, withdrew its plans.

00:20:53.120 So they had a lack of support from local officials. So it seems like this woman made 1.00

00:20:56.760 a big difference and got rid of the AI data center that was planned for Wisconsin. 0.99

00:21:01.180 You know, it makes a difference. The pushback's uncomfortable for these people. And I know we

00:21:05.240 have one scheduled to go in in Marlboro, New Jersey. So if anyone lives over there, I know

00:21:12.640 they're making a big stink about it. Join in on the stink because look, this woman, you know, 1.00

00:21:17.420 because she just wouldn't give up, they gave up. So make a stink if you need to. Go ahead, Owen. 1.00

00:21:23.120 Sorry, I cut you off. No, I mean, and I think for people who might be interested in this or fighting

00:21:28.320 it, I think a lot of it has to do with power costs in terms of the energy costs of these data

00:21:34.560 centers that it might be borne out by the taxpayers or by the people using utility payers

00:21:39.960 where it can certainly jack up the energy prices. And also there is a water concern in terms of how

00:21:48.500 much water it's using. So depending on how much water supply you have in your area, that may be

00:21:53.160 an issue as well. I think it's maybe less of an issue for people like me near Chicago because

00:21:56.800 we've got this big lake right next to us of fresh water. But in many parts of the country,

00:22:00.740 it's much more scarce and might be a bigger issue to say if they're using a bunch of the water that

00:22:05.380 means they're taking it away from someone else um so you know i'm not necessarily anti-data center

00:22:11.620 but i you know totally understand why someone might not want one in their backyard and well

00:22:16.260 yeah let's not want to pay for it let's talk about that owen because i see people in the chat saying

00:22:20.580 like you know why do you want to kill our future and whatever you have to understand you guys

00:22:24.740 they're building these data centers basically on the edges of neighborhoods the noise the light

00:22:32.740 pollution the noise pollution um and like owen said like draining of resources uh like the you

00:22:40.020 know the one place they wanted to put it you know cuts off like a natural water flow you know like

00:22:45.860 a stream that delivers water and well water and this and that like it's really it's really a

00:22:51.940 a disruption. It's not like you're just putting in a building. You're creating this small city

00:22:57.840 in one building is the way I'm seeing it and all of the pollution. So now these people live there.

00:23:03.340 They're like, oh my God, they can't even go out in their backyard. So now there goes their real

00:23:09.760 estate. They can't even sell and get out. They're not going to make any money. So they either live

00:23:15.520 with it, they lose their money in their real estate. So it's a big disruptor. There's got to be

00:23:20.480 a better way, a better place, a better design. I mean, people are creative. So if anyone's out

00:23:27.240 there and they're like, wait, I want to come up with a better design. But Owen, don't you think

00:23:31.220 that's the gist of what's happening? It's like where they're building them and then

00:23:34.260 all the infrastructure problems they're causing. Yeah. I mean, the Trump administration has at

00:23:40.320 least tried to get some agreement with these different data center providers or with the

00:23:44.100 hyperscalers, the AI companies that they should provide their own power and not just

00:23:49.760 take it from the people around and make everything more expensive. I'm not sure if that's

00:23:54.580 always happening. So that's one question. I do think it makes sense that whoever is building

00:24:01.300 or using the data center should be the ones bearing the brunt of the cost and not putting

00:24:05.320 it on the people that live there. But I think there are all sorts of technological developments

00:24:11.120 coming. I post stories on a regular basis. I think I posted at least one today about some new

00:24:16.160 technology i think it was some kind of copper tubing or something for um heat exchange that

00:24:21.940 would potentially reduce the energy cost by like 98 or something so there there are potential

00:24:27.220 developments that might make it much less of an issue from an energy perspective and i personally

00:24:32.440 don't put as much stock in the water issue just because people treat water when they talk about

00:24:38.500 it like that like it's a one-time resource like as if the water goes away it's like no the water

00:24:44.320 is recycled and it goes back into the environment and um but i do understand that you know if

00:24:50.620 they're taking millions of gallons of clean water out of the treated water then that is a limited

00:24:56.280 resource and you need to take that into account to say you can't just allocate a whole bunch of

00:25:00.840 it to a new data center and not have any impact on what was happening before and again in many

00:25:06.540 areas of the country they are having droughts they're having problems with water supply and so

00:25:11.180 it's a much bigger issue and so you may need to just pick the right places to say where is there

00:25:15.400 plenty of water like Chicago where you can say there's a big lake we can just pump more of it

00:25:20.500 and it's not such a big deal and it's not going to raise the price a lot but I do think all these

00:25:25.580 things should be taken into account and I think we should certainly be prioritizing whatever

00:25:29.360 technological developments we can to make it energy efficient and to make it not impact people

00:25:34.360 and to your point if there is noise or light pollution or other things then those should be

00:25:37.980 taken into account as well, where you don't want to impact someone's lifestyle or joy of life

00:25:44.940 just by putting this big data center right next to where they live. 0.89

00:25:48.280 And their real estate value too, that just sucks. It's like so many people are impacted by one of

00:25:53.140 these buildings. And I'm not saying they're not important, but I feel like I always want to

00:25:57.940 propose to our New Jersey politicians, whoever, that you have to stop tearing down forests and

00:26:06.620 all this stuff to put new plazas in of all things or new condos. I feel like you should have to take

00:26:12.880 a dilapidated place that has like one store open in the whole plaza. You have to take that place,

00:26:19.960 knock it all down, rebuild, do something like that. So do that like with a data center,

00:26:23.920 like somewhere that's already commercial property. Even if you have to make like

00:26:28.180 two smaller ones instead of one giant one, then do that. But the way they're infringing just

00:26:34.760 kind of stinks you know what you guys because like we complain about you know half the people

00:26:38.760 complain about pollution the environment whatever um and then other people are like you know we want

00:26:45.880 to go back to the old days like me um and be more nostalgic but yes like the world keeps moving

00:26:51.880 forward but you know we can't just pollute everything because time's marching on you know

00:26:59.080 we i think we just have to take a beat and i just think that there's really really really really

00:27:02.920 smart people who could come up with a better way to do these data centers before they all

00:27:07.640 get plopped in in places and then they'll never be taken out um i don't know i think we are going

00:27:13.400 a little too fast personally marcella do you want to say anything about this well i i want more data

00:27:19.800 centers i want data centers everywhere but i i think wisconsin that lady i wonder who was behind

00:27:26.920 her a lot of these data center uh issues that you're talking about i feel like china would

00:27:33.000 would benefit from us not building as many data centers but you know there are issues i give you

00:27:39.720 that there's noise issues uh there is not all of them have the noise issue but there are some that

00:27:46.680 do they're just businesses they're trying to do business in different places and every you know

00:27:53.720 know it's local you know they get to decide whether they want it there or not but one of the

00:27:59.560 things that they need is power and nuclear should be an option you know um that hasn't been open

00:28:06.880 to them you know i maybe owen has more information on that but that it probably would be the solution

00:28:13.400 to this water issue or you know how to power them yeah i mean again i i'm all for technological

00:28:20.960 solutions wherever we can get that and reduce the energy impact reduce the water impact other

00:28:26.000 things i think um some many of those things are possible and again i'm not against data centers

00:28:30.900 i'm not like fighting for you know stopping all new data centers same partly i'm just reporting

00:28:35.960 the news this is not just an isolated case like this is happening all over the country where

00:28:39.820 people are fighting back against these data centers and i think it's something like 40 percent

00:28:43.900 of them have been either delayed or canceled so this is a huge trend that people are fighting

00:28:47.940 back against these things so even if you're pro data center you you should at least be aware that

00:28:53.380 there's a lot of pushback being generated against these things and there are a lot of people that

00:28:58.660 are fighting back and saying i don't want it in my neighborhood i don't want it in my state

00:29:01.920 you know or i don't want it at all but um it is a big impact and it may be a factor in terms of even

00:29:07.880 how much we can scale ai and how are how competitive we can be compared to other countries 0.79

00:29:12.800 because i doubt we have these same issues in china you know china just decides what they want 0.96

00:29:17.640 to do and they build a whole bunch of stuff and nobody gets the right to push back the way they

00:29:20.860 can in the United States. Okay. Well, I'm looking at, you know, the, the comments are completely

00:29:27.600 all mixed, which they should be, you know, they should be because everybody has different interests

00:29:31.900 and different information. Um, and we all live in different parts of the country. And I, you know,

00:29:37.780 I see some people have water issues. I have said, put them in all the public schools that need to

00:29:42.800 be shut down. You know, I love it. I love it. I mean, there's areas in the United States that

00:29:51.580 have no one in it, you know, and has water. So I don't know why they're trying to put it in

00:29:57.480 certain areas where there's people or whatever, you know. And they don't Alcatraz. Put them in

00:30:02.260 Alcatraz. And there's not many people, right, Owen, in a data center? Like there's not like

00:30:07.400 employees, like two people in each one or something. Yeah. I mean, that may be one of

00:30:10.580 the arguments about why they want it to be in a particular area. They want it to be near people

00:30:14.380 so they can find people to work there. But I think I saw a metric recently that there was

00:30:18.360 somewhere around $50 million of spending to generate one job

00:30:22.800 in a data center. So it's a limited number of jobs.

00:30:27.060 And now, again, that doesn't mean there's only one person in the data center, but it does mean

00:30:30.660 it's not like this massive army of people. It's not like a factory where you have

00:30:34.020 assembly lines full of people doing things. It's basically a pretty low

00:30:38.620 touch from a human perspective. You set it up once and then it runs for a long time and you

00:30:43.460 need a few people to swap out whatever breaks, but otherwise it pretty much operates 24 seven

00:30:47.640 on its own. And so it's a relatively small impact from a jobs perspective relative to the amount of

00:30:53.040 investment that you're making. Okay. Well, this is like a perfect little segue for me. So I'm

00:31:00.540 doing a news story. No. So I, a lot of you that have known me for a while know that I was speaking

00:31:08.020 of China, that this is like a very important issue to me. And I don't know how many people

00:31:13.000 here know who Jimmy Lai is. You spell the last name L-A-I, Jimmy Lai. So I asked Chester to help

00:31:22.220 me write up like the things I want you to understand about him. And then I want to play a

00:31:26.300 clip. Okay. So this is Jimmy Lai. He was born in mainland China in 1947 and fled to Hong Kong as a

00:31:35.660 stowaway at age 12, escaping poverty and political turmoil during the Mao era.

00:31:41.540 He worked in factories, built a successful clothing business with the Giordano retail

00:31:47.400 chain, and later founded Apple Daily, which is a newspaper, in 1995. The newspaper became

00:31:55.120 widely known for investigative reporting and for criticizing corruption, abuses of power,

00:32:00.680 and the growing influence of Beijing over Hong Kong while advocating for free speech and democratic

00:32:07.820 freedoms. So what you need to know too. So if you don't understand, I mean, I did not know all this

00:32:14.760 before I was invited to a private screening of the documentary about Jimmy Lai a couple of years ago.

00:32:20.560 And I met some of his family and people who, you know, he was their mentor and people that

00:32:26.460 are in the documentary. Um, but what, all right. So he says as China, all right. So as China's

00:32:32.120 government increased its control over Hong Kong, uh, many residents believe Beijing was violating

00:32:38.060 the original handover agreement. Um, I want to, I just want to tell you guys, let me just see if I

00:32:43.600 have this here. Okay. So this is what I want you to know, cause this is what I did not know at

00:32:47.760 first. Okay. So Hong Kong was controlled by great Britain for more than 150 years after the British

00:32:55.700 took it from China during the opium wars. In 1997, Britain handed Hong Kong back to China

00:33:03.900 under an agreement called One Country, Two Systems, which promised Hong Kong could keep its own courts,

00:33:12.200 free press, open economy, and civil liberties for 50 years until 2047. The agreement was intended

00:33:20.900 to preserve Hong Kong's freedoms while still making it part of China. So Hong Kong went from

00:33:28.120 this old world, just kind of very, very poor area into almost like a Dubai. So they got these 0.53

00:33:39.220 freedoms. They turned into like a Dubai. I mean, I have family and friends. It was on my bucket 0.56

00:33:43.340 list to travel there gorgeous like whole like metropolitan amazingness so um so as china so

00:33:51.580 then the last part as china's government increased its control over hong kong many residents believe

00:33:57.260 beijing was violating the original handover agreement tensions escalated and in 2019

00:34:04.700 over a proposed extradition law that would have allowed hong kong residents to be sent to mainland

00:34:10.460 China for trial. Millions protested, viewing the law as a threat to Hong Kong's judicial

00:34:16.300 independence and civil liberties. So China just started creeping back in. And these people were

00:34:23.460 living in a freedom, almost like America. Whatever Britain had, they had. They had

00:34:29.600 free speech to an extent. I mean, they did. And civil liberties and all that stuff. And so when

00:34:36.460 Jimmy Lai started this paper in 95, he was just, he's telling the truth about everything, criticizing

00:34:43.320 China, if he had to, whatever it was. So then China starts creeping back into Hong Kong. And

00:34:48.720 now they're saying like, well, maybe we're going to take you from Hong Kong now and bring you to

00:34:52.740 China and put you in our courts and see what we think about you. So I remember this during the

00:34:58.220 pandemic that these uprisings started in Hong Kong and there was protests in the street and they were

00:35:04.200 you know very brave very very brave to be in hong kong and say like f you to china you know

00:35:11.080 we want to you know we're supposed to be here at least till 2047 that was the agreement so um

00:35:17.960 anyway so jimmy lie openly supported the protest movement and after china imposed the national

00:35:24.360 security law in 2020 apple daily his newspaper was forced to shut down and lie was arrested

00:35:31.320 multiple times and he remains in prison today under the security law but it's so much worse i

00:35:37.320 mean you guys i'm definitely going to ask you to please help me amplify this message because

00:35:45.160 president trump is going to china he promised before he got elected so many people said to him

00:35:52.040 please you have to get jimmy lie out of prison he's he's old now he has diabetes not only that

00:35:59.640 they've had him in solitary confinement for five years like solitary confinement for five years

00:36:07.640 he has a family he has a wife and if you ever cared about freedom or like somebody that you

00:36:15.320 see that cares the most about democracy and freedom he is the poster man of this um what

00:36:23.320 he risks so i want to play you a little clip um this clip is from his documentary it's just kind

00:36:29.800 of edited together and uh let's talk about him on the other side i was one of the review guy

00:36:36.200 who was very controversial who was very outspoken living in the truth is an effective tool against

00:36:45.160 totalitarian power speaking truth to power is something that powerful dictatorships

00:36:52.760 are terrified by and i think jimmy understood that that's why he started the paper that's why

00:36:58.600 he kept it that's why he made it into essentially a part of the movement everybody was so chicken

00:37:06.040 out so scared that they went into self-censorship to avoid offending the communists so many

00:37:16.840 businessmen keep quiet because they have investments in China. So Hong Kong people

00:37:22.360 always have a soft spot for a guy willing to speak out as Jimmy does. 0.90

00:37:27.400 It's almost certain that they would put me in jail.

00:37:30.920 When he was arrested, he was shackled and perp-walked through his own offices.

00:37:35.240 Anything I have is this place. This place is freedom. I owe freedom my life.

00:37:46.840 This man is so amazing. You guys, I remember when I was invited to this documentary,

00:38:00.640 I called Scott. I'm like, okay, I'm going to see this thing with these people. I'm like really

00:38:05.620 excited. And then we talked about, he didn't know about Jimmy Lai at that point. And then after I

00:38:10.740 was just like, Oh, like we have to do whatever we can. And it's just, it's amazing because if you

00:38:16.660 go on to X or Google and you start to look him up, you will, a lot of people are really rooting for

00:38:22.640 him. There's a lot of very big voices. Um, they asked president Trump about Jimmy lie, I think

00:38:28.520 again, yesterday in the oval. Um, and you know, he said, I'll, you know, I'm going to look into

00:38:33.580 it. Yeah. You know, he's a great guy. I'll look into it. I'll look into it, but I just don't feel

00:38:37.480 like it's urgent enough. This man literally did nothing but stand up to communism and stand for

00:38:45.760 truth and freedom. So I will also, maybe Sandy in the chat, you can help me, but there's an

00:38:52.920 amazing documentary. It's free. It's on YouTube. It's called The Hong Kongers. And it's the story

00:38:58.360 about what's going on with China and Jimmy Lai. And if you want to watch a great documentary,

00:39:03.260 it's free and just click play on it. And, you know, it's really fascinating. So please help

00:39:08.760 me amplify this message about Jimmy Lai. There's other journalists and reporters that were also

00:39:14.040 imprisoned, but they wanted to really make an example out of him. So please help me help Jimmy

00:39:21.980 Lai. And let's get a message to President Trump while he's negotiating for things. Get this man

00:39:28.060 out of prison. It's disgusting at this point. All right. Thank you for your attention to this

00:39:32.240 matter i was one of the refugees okay so that was that now i'm gonna move back over um i don't know

00:39:39.240 if you guys want to say anything about him or just go on to the next story either way is fine

00:39:43.180 just uh president trump release uh make chi release jimmy li you know that's what we want

00:39:52.560 we want him to be released yeah and also possibly to leave that hong kong area i don't know

00:40:01.060 because that's the thing is once he's released is this is are things going to change for him

00:40:06.260 i don't know yeah he has a wife and kids and you know like you just saw bill mcgern on there from

00:40:12.520 wall street journal uh is he wall street journal or the post i forgot but anyway i'm friends with

00:40:18.600 him on x and a couple other people that were in his documentary and we're just like rooting and

00:40:24.940 praying and whatever but when you see this documentary and i think some of you will watch

00:40:29.080 it, I hope. You're going to just be so outraged that this injustice is happening. So please,

00:40:35.980 thank you. This is like a personal plea from me to you. Owen, anything about this?

00:40:42.300 I mean, I support what you're saying. And I don't know if I have much to add. I hope he is released.

00:40:47.560 And I think it's a big injustice. And I'm hoping that the Hong Kong people can maintain their

00:40:52.620 sovereignty as best they can. I think it's a tough situation given how big China is and how

00:40:57.000 much influence they have and i'm not necessarily optimistic about that front but i you know i can

00:41:01.920 certainly hope that things will get better for them yeah and you know what great britain like

00:41:07.560 get it together you know like what are you doing all right so let's move on um marcella let's come

00:41:14.460 to you with your next uh news update thanks you guys um a news update well like we were saying

00:41:23.300 Trump is going to visit China. He said about Jimmy Lai, he's going to raise it to the Chinese

00:41:30.220 leadership. But not only that, he's leaving today for the summit to meet Chinese President

00:41:36.620 Xi Jinping. And sorry if I mispronounced that. Anybody in the chat?

00:41:41.540 No, you're good.

00:41:42.540 Reuters reports that Elon, Tim Cook, and Boeing CEO Kelly Ertberg, gosh, are joining

00:41:52.580 president trump's 16 ceo delegation to china for trade uh trade talks um and the visit will highlight

00:42:00.500 u.s companies um the elephant in the room or the lack thereof is the nvidia ceo jensen huang

00:42:09.940 is notably absent and uninvited the white house says that the reason is because it's gonna center

00:42:18.100 it's CEO talk or business talk with agriculture and aviation but Tim Cook is there so and so is

00:42:27.500 Elon so who knows yeah Elon's there too huh so I don't know why Huang maybe Owen knows more but

00:42:35.180 about why he was not invited I don't know I mean I know they've had controversy around the

00:42:41.780 exports of the Nvidia chips so there may be some reason why they didn't want to do it I know there's

00:42:47.180 been back and forth on that it seemed like the way it played out was originally there was

00:42:51.800 restrictions on nvidia chips being sold to china and then that was relaxed but then china just

00:42:57.900 turned around and said we're not buying them so it seemed like they were going their own direction

00:43:02.460 and developing their own chips um and so it seemed like it was going in a weird weird direction so

00:43:07.840 maybe there just isn't as much opportunity there on the nvidia side but i think um certainly it

00:43:12.420 does seem like the technology you know front is front and center as one of the issues given that

00:43:18.800 elon and tim cook are invited so i would imagine that's going to be a big part of the agenda

00:43:23.600 yeah and elon does a lot of business with china so it's good for him to show up i suppose um i

00:43:32.600 don't know good for who but it's good all right um so we're looking forward to see what happens

00:43:39.680 with that with that uh visit to chi okay oh and what do you have for us

00:43:45.520 so apparently there are kids that are bypassing online age verification checks with fake mustaches

00:43:53.300 um this is a trend that a lot of um governments around the world are cracking down on age

00:44:00.840 verification um i think it's bigger in the uk than it is here i think it became law with their

00:44:06.500 online safety act in 2023 over in the uk but it is happening here too i think louisiana passed

00:44:11.680 something it's more specific to online content like our adult content meaning like porn sites

00:44:16.020 and things like that but i think um you know this is a trend and but apparently the kids are onto it

00:44:21.820 and they're just using like eyeliner pencils from their parents to draw on a mustache and and it's

00:44:26.540 fooling a lot of the online age verification checks oh my god they're also using like video

00:44:33.320 game characters and other things to try and fake out these things but it seems like they're

00:44:37.300 outsmarting the the ai left and right with some of these things so i just find it kind of funny

00:44:42.840 that's hysterical yeah so i mean you know there's obviously different perspectives on whether or not

00:44:49.640 we should have this kind of policy or whether or not it can work i think um you know in the united

00:44:54.980 states certainly there's a lot of pushback around it just to say you know we shouldn't have

00:44:59.560 restrictions i mean that you again can go both ways i think most people would say we don't want

00:45:04.240 kids seeing offensive adult content but um given the nature of age verification what that really

00:45:13.340 means is you have to identify who you are to all these websites and so it basically de-anonymizes

00:45:20.080 the internet which is a huge issue in itself so um you know that i think is gets a lot of pushback

00:45:26.680 especially in the united states and you know there's a lot of things on both sides of that but

00:45:31.740 um it seems like it's the kids are kind of outsmarting them with all these things in terms

00:45:36.740 of just being able to find ways to get the online systems to think that they're older than they are

00:45:42.220 and uh so it's not really as effective as they were hoping it would be at this point that's

00:45:46.780 amazing um so can you two indulge me with another story look at me jumping all in on the news today

00:45:53.660 um the la mayor i don't know if you want to talk about the la mayor race the california

00:45:58.760 gubernatorial race or katia's mayor let's do governor and mayor just kind of like quick

00:46:03.680 little updates on that so we know for cal this is california guys yeah of course it's california

00:46:10.020 um um la mayor um race it looks good for spencer pratt now he's 28 implied probability of winning

00:46:18.920 And this is just in Polymarket.

00:46:21.300 However, on Polymarket, Karen Bass is 50% to 53% probability of winning on the June 2nd primary.

00:46:31.180 The last polls, I tried to find any polls that are current.

00:46:35.620 They were from March.

00:46:38.480 And it had Karen Bass at 53 and Spencer Pratt at 31.

00:46:43.200 Um, very similar to what poly market is saying, um, in regards to the California gubernatorial

00:46:51.420 race, we have better news.

00:46:53.680 Well, it's not so good news in the, um, poly market, uh, predictive prediction markets,

00:47:00.780 but in regards to the poll, a poll just came out having Hilton, Steve Hilton, the Republican,

00:47:07.020 Uh, 22% Becerra, the Democrat at 20%, Steyer, Democrat at 14% and Bianco.

00:47:14.700 The other Republican, uh, 13%, um, Newsweek highlighted in regards to

00:47:22.380 the governor race, they highlighted that Becerra seems to be the favorite right

00:47:28.380 now at 49% on Polymarket and Calci while Steyer, um, is, is behind.

00:47:37.700 Um, but Steve Hilton in regards to the primaries is also, um, I didn't

00:47:45.240 understand this.

00:47:45.900 So in regards to the regular race, um, the Sarah was above, um, Steve Hilton,

00:47:53.140 but in regards to the June 2nd primary, Steve Hilton had 83% chance

00:47:57.860 to advance. So that's very good. So the, I, I'm happy that, um, Steve Hilton is leading.

00:48:05.600 He's doing great. He's doing great. Um, we need to see him more, you know, in California. Um,

00:48:13.780 maybe, maybe it's, maybe he shouldn't be, I mean, it's working, whatever he's doing,

00:48:17.740 keep doing it. And then Arcadia, California, I think some of you know about the story,

00:48:22.400 the mayor of uh arcadia california where i kind of like lived in that area for a long time

00:48:30.300 um she uh was she pled guilty uh i her name's eileen wong and she pled to being an illegal

00:48:42.000 agent for the people's republic of china china um this is after i mean it took a while because

00:48:53.040 this was disclosed yesterday but her fiance had um had been um found guilty um no i'm sorry he had

00:49:04.700 he faces, uh, he already had been serving for years. It doesn't, the story didn't say whether

00:49:12.080 he, his, her fiance was, um, I would just say he had pled guilty or was found guilty, but that was

00:49:20.220 back in 2024, 2025. So the FBI was already on her about what had occurred. So one of the things

00:49:29.240 that came out is that China would tell her what propaganda to put on the daily newspaper for

00:49:43.840 Acadia. Like any kind of bad press on China, they would not put it. They would put good press

00:49:52.480 about China. And, uh, that's one of the things that she was paid for. Uh, she was actually 0.71

00:49:59.900 released on bond for, for $25,000. So she's out on bond right now. And she faces 10 years in prison,

00:50:08.820 federal prison. So good. Good. And she should, and California has a Chinese spy problem.

00:50:15.460 diane yeah and the uk too i hear there's an issue with the ambassador of china of china

00:50:24.280 in the uk so strange it's so strange isn't it i mean who would have thought

00:50:30.020 that china would be infiltrating with spies odd um yeah what was her diane feinstein r.i.p um

00:50:38.660 and swalwell who i hear might be getting 40 years in jail if you know blah blah blah marcella i

00:50:46.000 know allegedly opinion law court trials but i was like what 40 years i saw 40 years somewhere for

00:50:54.280 some of the stuff he's done i'm like i'm not shedding a tear for him but anyway

00:50:58.300 owen do you have a spy we don't know are you a spy i don't think so but we met owen and they

00:51:07.620 would always say no shame to the Chinese people but Owen might be Chinese I'm just saying go

00:51:12.620 ahead as far as I know I have no Chinese in my background I've been to China one time so I guess

00:51:19.080 you can count that against me oh yeah nobody goes to China Owen okay one time just to get your 1.00

00:51:24.920 orders yeah but um it does seem like it's a big problem it seems like it's been infiltrating our

00:51:31.440 government all over the place and I think again California seems to be the worst so congratulations 0.99

00:51:36.680 Marcella you know it does seem like they're the California seems a lot friendlier towards China

00:51:43.300 than most other states and uh has a lot of things going on there that they shouldn't and I think it's

00:51:47.940 a big problem in our universities I think we have a lot of people spying on us through all of our

00:51:52.000 all the graduate research and things that are going on with the I think we call it the thousand

00:51:55.900 talents program um but it's essentially a way of just scooping up all of our research and getting

00:52:01.500 it back to the Chinese government so I think we should put a stop to all of it I agree Stephen

00:52:06.620 Lang, you've been to China over 40 times. And yes, as Steve Cortez pointed out on this show 0.75

00:52:14.560 and his documentary about all of the students from China booting out the American students' 0.86

00:52:20.160 chances of getting into even their state colleges. It's just, I don't know. I don't know why we, 0.84

00:52:27.520 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Let's see what happens after this visit. I just don't

00:52:32.160 now oh my gosh all right owen give us give us a tidbit would you would you uh keir starmer is in

00:52:41.200 a lot of trouble um apparently you know he's been under a lot of pressure for a variety of reasons

00:52:46.060 i think partly it's the whole mass you know mass immigration issue and um just a lot of activists

00:52:51.660 and marches and things going on against what he's been doing there letting all these foreigners in

00:52:56.220 um but then more recently there was the whole epstein thing where he had appointed somebody

00:53:00.420 that was a friend of Epstein and got in a lot of trouble for that.

00:53:04.420 So it seems like, and then more recently than that,

00:53:06.980 they had an election and the Labor Party just lost massively

00:53:10.460 at the ballot box.

00:53:11.820 So they lost a bunch of positions.

00:53:13.640 And I think at this point they're thinking he's about to quit.

00:53:16.700 But he came out and gave some speech about this specter

00:53:21.140 of far-right extremists and things trying to treat it

00:53:26.880 as this big threat and it's dangerous.

00:53:28.880 And let's say he said, we're not just facing dangerous times, but dangerous opponents, very dangerous opponents.

00:53:36.680 So he's trying to save himself by calling out the far right as if that's the problem.

00:53:43.200 But again, there's speculation that he might be resigning sometime soon.

00:53:47.200 Wow.

00:53:47.800 I think it can't come sooner.

00:53:50.120 I agree.

00:53:50.960 Not negative for that country and for us.

00:53:53.360 So I agree and good and good riddance, I hope.

00:53:57.820 Um, so to Marcella and Owen, I'm just throwing this out there because somebody mentioned it in

00:54:03.480 the chat and yes, you guys. So the clock ran out for Fauci, right. For, uh, the statute of

00:54:10.980 limitations for him to be charged, um, for all of his wrongdoings. And I'm not going to say

00:54:19.780 allegedly because it's true. So, um, I don't know what, yeah, what does happen now? Do either of

00:54:27.220 did either of you happen to read any of that i mean i i saw that like now people are going to be

00:54:32.100 having like whistleblowers coming out and talking about things from behind the scenes

00:54:37.060 you know great that's really courageous now that the time ran out but what do we think is going to

00:54:41.380 happen next with uh with everything we know now about the vaccines and covet and the lying

00:54:48.420 stella just took a header right on to me well i mean you hope something happens but i i feel like

00:54:55.780 you know ran paul is all by himself like hopefully something does happen um and so this doesn't occur

00:55:03.060 again i but can you prosecute him under that statute no um but you can make him come to

00:55:14.420 to testify again and maybe he can lie again allegedly well somebody was saying and i've

00:55:20.580 seen this also that you actually i forgot you can be um prosecuted for murder so if there are murder

00:55:29.060 charges that's that's a workaround and i would say that that happened but yeah i mean you still have

00:55:34.900 that pardon issue but then you have the auto pen uh capacity issues so then you'd have to bring

00:55:42.500 biden and the democrats down from there to show that he had no capacity which i don't know if

00:55:48.420 president trump is ready to do i mean i i did post a story today or yesterday about um how the

00:55:55.640 doj is still considering starting a criminal investigation against fauci um there's of course

00:56:00.880 potential for state offenses that are not you know covered by the federal pardons so it may be

00:56:05.920 something that could be doing done at the state level um and i think there there is from a statute

00:56:11.420 of limitations standpoint he could still be charged for lying to congress in 2024 because

00:56:16.000 there, he said he didn't use his personal email for NIH business, which was a lie.

00:56:20.800 So there's still some potential that he could be prosecuted, but I'm not really hopeful.

00:56:26.580 And I think the pardon thing might be one of the factors that, you know, I mean, I do

00:56:33.060 think we probably should test it and see if we can get it done.

00:56:36.000 But it could be something that some people don't want to test because they don't want

00:56:40.700 to necessarily open the door to saying, you know, now we have legitimacy tests for pardons

00:56:44.940 Or on the other side, they could say we don't want, you know, to potentially open the door for all sorts of other pardons to be questioned in the future.

00:56:52.780 So I unfortunately don't think it's going to happen, but I would certainly like to see it happen.

00:56:59.700 Yeah, I know.

00:57:03.040 I'm curious just because I did hear like now that that ran out, there'll be whistleblowers, let's say.

00:57:09.200 But I'm like, you should have blew your whistle a long time ago, people.

00:57:12.020 interesting timing if they come out now yeah of course well i mean he could still be prosecuted

00:57:19.740 in in a state you know depending on the state change the they can change uh no criminally

00:57:27.820 oh criminally i mean i remember new york changing such limitations for certain sa stuff for trump

00:57:36.860 and just so that they could prosecute him or try to or no i guess it was civilly

00:57:43.620 um but i i know somebody mentioned florida sorry i'm laughing because somebody posted

00:57:50.220 a picture of owen as chinese but uh um florida de santos governor de santos did say that he

00:58:00.560 was looking into prosecution for Fauci, but it has not been done. This is before the attorney

00:58:07.200 general, the new attorney general in Florida was appointed. So maybe they are still looking into

00:58:14.540 it. I don't know. What comment did you guys want me to see? I see you telling me to look at it,

00:58:20.700 but I don't know which one it is. Let's see. Didn't DeSantis have a legal case against Fauci

00:58:28.520 in florida according to grok he does not okay i never heard that um dang marianne said he's the

00:58:37.240 criminal at least in criminal wise okay um all right you guys so yes andy right on time i'm i'm

00:58:46.680 i think i think we're good unless either one of you want to add anything to anything about anything
