00:02:20.820 i don't know where the y'all came from um i just went y'all so for everybody who was wondering why

00:02:26.900 i was so freaked out about the moon mission um artemis 2 my claustrophobia is next level

00:02:34.880 so when we were texting the three of us during the return to earth i was just like oh my god

00:02:42.300 that freaking capsule like can you imagine like now you're in this capsule and you're bobbing up

00:02:46.820 and down and i'm just like oh my god like they're probably seasick i'd be like open the door i need 0.64

00:02:52.720 air so we have a little clip of that capsule and um is that you oh it was it's not anymore

00:03:01.460 was that skype uh teams i was like that's a whack sound from the i have a problem like for some

00:03:09.940 reason it has a phone number which i don't even know why it has a phone number and somebody has

00:03:14.520 it obviously and i got on some list and i get calls all the time from spam and i don't know

00:03:18.760 how to stop it i've called the help desk they can't help me i don't know what to do not the

00:03:23.080 help desk um so you guys here's the capsule when it's in the water and look at i heard it water

00:03:29.980 and look at how it is inside when they open this thing.

00:03:33.180 Ready?

00:03:33.580 Tell me you wouldn't just die.

00:03:40.160 Yes.

00:03:42.920 Do it.

00:03:43.640 Say it.

00:03:44.860 Yes.

00:03:47.820 Let's go.

00:03:49.660 Pin, pin.

00:03:50.600 Get your seal cover, seal cover.

00:03:51.920 Seal cover.

00:03:52.620 Here.

00:03:53.080 Right there.

00:03:54.540 Got it?

00:03:55.060 We got you.

00:03:59.980 Take your time.

00:04:04.980 Seal cover is still on.

00:04:06.980 Alright, get it.

00:04:07.980 Alright.

00:04:12.980 Fort Greene!

00:04:16.980 Fort Greene!

00:04:18.980 Ike!

00:04:19.980 Welcome home. 0.95

00:04:20.980 Christina, welcome home.

00:04:22.980 Yes!

00:04:23.980 Thank you!

00:04:24.980 Jeremy, welcome home brother.

00:04:27.980 There it is!

00:04:28.980 what's that welcome home brother thank you all right thank you thank you can i also have something

00:04:36.720 for you

00:04:37.260 i could see you in there dead and covered in vomit oh you'd be like hey everyone 0.95

00:04:54.380 do you have panic attacks erica when you get claustrophobic i do i do that's rough when that

00:05:03.040 happens oh yeah it does anyone else get panic attacks like that like the claustrophobia i can't

00:05:08.880 get out i don't but what someone in my family does and i don't want to go into too much detail

00:05:14.240 but there was a time and it was like totally unexpected we were um underground somewhere

00:05:19.340 basically in like a mine sort of tour and uh all of a sudden it became a huge problem we had to get

00:05:25.420 out of that mine heck yeah oh my gosh okay so people st louis the arch okay i was on a at a

00:05:32.900 business meeting and we were with you know people that i didn't really i sort of knew them peripherally

00:05:38.460 but anyway so we go to like the arch museum and we watch the arch little movie and then by the time

00:05:44.720 you watch the movie you're like oh i want to go up in the arch and i'm like i don't know if i should

00:05:48.320 I'm like, no, I'll do it.

00:05:49.120 I'll do it.

00:05:49.600 Has anyone ever been in the arch elevator?

00:05:53.960 Yes.

00:05:54.620 You have?

00:05:55.560 Yeah.

00:05:56.460 Oh, my God.

00:05:56.720 Are you talking about the St. Louis?

00:05:57.560 Yeah, the St. Louis arch.

00:05:58.720 Yeah, we went to the top.

00:05:59.960 Yep.

00:06:00.160 Okay.

00:06:00.560 Well, so then you know.

00:06:02.640 I do.

00:06:03.260 It's like a little.

00:06:05.780 It's like a little, like, all right, these doors open, and you put five people inside,

00:06:10.160 and it's me and four other people, and the seat's like a little horseshoe, so everybody

00:06:16.060 gets in and you sit down and you're kind of hunched a little bit because it's really tight

00:06:20.380 in there and your knees are touching everybody's knees. And I'm like, oh, holy cow. This is not

00:06:26.760 going to be good. So as the doors are about to close, I'm sensing my panic, but I've got to keep

00:06:32.260 it together because I'm with business people. I can't freak out. So all of a sudden the doors go

00:06:38.320 to close and I'm like, how long is the ride? And the guy's like, a minute and 45 seconds,

00:06:43.460 whatever he said and i'm like okay okay and the door's shut and i'm like okay okay so now you're

00:06:49.140 like all hunched over in there and it goes up like a little step ladder type of configuration

00:06:54.900 so like rock forward go up rock forward go up and i'm like oh i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm

00:07:01.620 gonna embarrass myself i'm gonna throw up i'm gonna pass out like this is gonna be so embarrassing

00:07:06.340 this is what oh there's a picture of the arch amen god bless um and there's like a little

00:07:11.540 window next to me, but like out the window is just like beams and steel. So all of a sudden I'm

00:07:17.800 like, oh, I feel the sweat like on the back of my neck and the door is like this. So I put my lips

00:07:23.720 up to the door and I start going, I'm trying to suck in the oxygen. I was like, if I could feel

00:07:35.020 any like outside air. Oh my God. It was so ridiculous. I think I was inconspicuous. I

00:07:42.680 don't know if anyone realized I was doing that. Oh my God. See the picture on locals. So that's

00:07:48.320 it. It's insanity. Oh my God. So going down, it was much easier because I knew I was going to be

00:07:54.920 able to get out and get off, but yeah. So don't put me in that capsule. I cannot go to space

00:08:00.200 unless they build like a 747 version

00:08:03.960 or first class or something.

00:08:07.160 That was my arch story.

00:08:09.880 Did they notice you getting that way,

00:08:11.940 your business people?

00:08:13.440 I mean, how could you not, I guess?

00:08:15.420 I didn't say anything.

00:08:16.420 I was trying to play it off,

00:08:17.520 but maybe like the...

00:08:18.980 Gave it away.

00:08:21.660 Maybe they felt the same way.

00:08:23.360 How could they not see what you were doing?

00:08:24.880 You said that your knees were touching

00:08:26.040 and you're all facing people.

00:08:27.220 They're like, I don't know how you could do

00:08:28.500 what you were doing without them noticing.

00:08:30.200 It was so bad.

00:08:32.860 So that was like, that was,

00:08:34.040 that's just one example of when the claustrophobia takes over.

00:08:37.860 Uh-oh, Mike Burt one-upped me, I bet.

00:08:40.340 I do think I'd have a problem on a submarine.

00:08:42.960 I don't have claustrophobia, but I just think, you know,

00:08:45.900 being trapped underwater in a small space with a whole bunch of people

00:08:50.380 for months or years at a time, I don't know how long they stay out.

00:08:53.340 But that to me would be rough.

00:08:57.400 I mean, even tunnels are a little, so like, you know,

00:08:59.840 the as the cars got fancier as life went on and you have that like navigation screen and like i

00:09:05.120 said i would go to new york all the freaking time and then like one day i have the car with that

00:09:10.480 screen and i go in the tunnel and all of a sudden you just see like my car with like water surrounding

00:09:16.080 it because now i'm underwater and i'm just like oh my god and it was like bumper to bumper in

00:09:21.280 the tunnel like go people go go go go go go go like i'm like what if it cracks what if the water

00:09:25.600 comes in. So yeah, it can, but I'm a little more under control now. The older I get, I'm trying

00:09:30.420 to pull my shit together. So that's the good news. So enough about that capsule. I don't know 0.99

00:09:35.740 why I showed it. It just triggered this. But like, oh, and let's, let's have you kick us off

00:09:42.960 with something light today. And oh, an MRI. Yeah. No, I don't, I don't know. I don't think I can do

00:09:50.380 Well, apparently there's a new method to reverse cellular aging that is about to be tested on humans.

00:09:56.400 So there's apparently this partial reprogramming using what they call Yamanaka factors to rejuvenate cells without a full reset.

00:10:06.960 And they've done mice experiments to restore retinal nerve growth.

00:10:11.660 And they're starting out with a human trial for glaucoma and something they call NION.

00:10:16.400 i don't know what that is um using three factors with a virus in one eye so they're going to give

00:10:22.320 you a virus that reprograms your cells and might rejuvenate your organs so it looks like we're

00:10:28.880 moving towards that live forever world so there's some very young spry mice out there i'm assuming

00:10:40.080 maybe they were blind and they're no longer blind so three blind mice

00:10:46.400 I'd like to give Stella, I'd like to give this to Stella so she could go backwards.

00:10:51.560 Yeah.

00:10:52.560 I mean, it might be possible.

00:10:53.560 I know the rules on pets are a little more liberal than humans in terms of the type of

00:10:59.300 testing you need to do.

00:11:00.300 So it could come out for pets.

00:11:01.780 I mean-

00:11:02.780 All right.

00:11:03.780 So good.

00:11:04.780 So it's a cellular level.

00:11:05.780 Doesn't necessarily mean you're going to live to 200.

00:11:07.360 No, but I think as I understand it, this technology could potentially be done with

00:11:14.640 many different types of cells.

00:11:15.860 right now they're doing it for eyes that obviously it's not going to keep you alive unless it just

00:11:19.660 helps you see better which also has an impact on things like alzheimer's and other things but um

00:11:26.860 but i think the you know the thought is that we could potentially do this with other organs we

00:11:33.060 could potentially rejuvenate you know liver kidney heart whatever and so potentially they could

00:11:37.740 extend it to other things that really would extend life um but we'll have to see how this goes we're

00:11:42.460 are certainly you know in the process and they have to see if it's safe and effective and

00:11:46.700 they do point out there's a risk that too much of this reprogramming can cause cancer or loss

00:11:51.560 of cell function so there may be some limitations to it so we'll have to see how it goes all right

00:11:56.280 all right all right marcella what do you have so we'll we'll live to 900 years old and we'll have

00:12:04.300 free grocery stores um so your favorite mayor uh one of them uh sarah mandani um is planning to open

00:12:14.940 a free grocery store which will cost taxpayers whooping uh 30 million dollars um free is not

00:12:25.260 very free for wait so it's free but it's costing 30 million dollars by free do you mean the food

00:12:30.700 is free to the customers the food is free to the customer so um how are they deciding who gets this

00:12:38.380 food they're usually it's the programs it's gonna be open in east harlem of course and it's already

00:12:46.620 there's already a lot that's owned by the by the city that they're gonna put it in um it's gonna

00:12:54.380 open in 2027 and it's going to cater to people that already receive um you know benefits from

00:13:03.200 the government like if they're already getting snap benefits why don't they already have enough

00:13:07.000 food well it the idea would be to have them buy their snap benefit food from this grocery store

00:13:15.900 so then it's not really free it's just another way to buy your food

00:13:21.300 yep i don't understand yep here it is i don't know the difference of why

00:13:27.700 it's called virtue signaling it's just virtue signaling owing owen and a little redistribution

00:13:33.160 of wealth is what they're doing so you want to give these poor people that voted for mandami

00:13:39.600 food stamps that they can use anywhere and they can also not use them at the free grocery store

00:13:47.640 because it's free although it costs 30 million dollars and it's sort of like like a bread line

00:13:55.720 like a little soup kitchen like a food bank so it's a 30 million dollar food bank funded by

00:14:02.220 people that had no say in it unless they voted for him in which you had a big say in it and um

00:14:07.980 i just i mean the the obvious impact is if it was if it was actually free where you just walk in

00:14:13.140 take some food and leave then they're just going to be empty shelves on the first day and and

00:14:18.180 everyone's going to be upset because they didn't get all their food but um you know the if it

00:14:23.360 really is just another way to buy your snap food then i don't understand what you're doing like

00:14:28.600 you're spending 30 million dollars to accomplish nothing exactly well i think the the issue was

00:14:34.840 that in certain areas like east harlem there's not enough supermarkets there it's like the food

00:14:40.620 desert is what they call it and so they're trying to open local stores in areas where it's

00:14:46.220 high snap you know benefits 30 million dollars per year no to build it okay to run it he didn't

00:14:56.520 indicate how much he looked into how low margin grocery stores are right to know that they're

00:15:03.900 not really making a big profit and yeah he's totally up on this profit is not if he gave

00:15:10.280 somebody you know much less than that most likely per year they probably would be very happy to

00:15:17.320 open a grocery store there well here it is yeah i mean i agree the good news is is this

00:15:25.320 is testing small in one of the most important cities and it will fail miserably and he's on

00:15:32.600 the fast track to failure like faster than any other of the loser mayors they've had there so

00:15:38.520 So he's going to replace de Blasio, which is incredibly difficult to do, I would think,

00:15:44.580 and Eric Adams in no time in the worst mayor ever.

00:15:49.920 And everybody's leaving.

00:15:51.740 And then Hochul's begging them all to come back and pay more money.

00:15:55.020 I'm like, do you guys hear yourselves?

00:15:57.700 We're going to ask the people from Palm Beach to come back to New York and pay more money.

00:16:03.480 That's our plan.

00:16:04.520 I'm like, oh, good luck.

00:16:06.360 So let's watch the experiment.

00:16:08.860 You know, Scott always said test small.

00:16:10.660 So we're testing this very publicly in one very important city.

00:16:15.300 It will, I mean, it's going to be the further demise of New York.

00:16:19.740 This has been tested, right?

00:16:21.340 Like we've already had the failures.

00:16:23.180 Yes.

00:16:23.520 And especially in other countries.

00:16:24.860 Yeah.

00:16:25.520 But even here, I think we've done this.

00:16:27.300 I think they've, I remember when this idea first came out that Momdami was proposing

00:16:31.620 this, they said, we tried this, here's what happened.

00:16:33.900 And it was like empty shelves.

00:16:35.320 it went out of business and it was a huge failure and most of these socialist policies

00:16:43.000 are already happening in places like chicago and la and other places and we've seen the results

00:16:49.320 so i don't think we need to test small i think we have the results we just need to pay attention to

00:16:54.200 them but you know maybe new york needs to learn the lesson that it's a disaster there too

00:16:58.800 yeah i i think this will put it really in the forefront though for everybody to see

00:17:05.600 It just seems to me like everything he's doing is backfiring.

00:17:07.720 Like either he's not allowed to do what he wanted to do or he is just doing the exact opposite of what he said he would do.

00:17:14.040 He's making things less affordable.

00:17:16.700 He's making a disaster of the budget.

00:17:19.540 And he's raiding their pension funds or I don't remember, like the rainy day fund or whatever it was.

00:17:25.300 And so he's putting the city in a really horrible position.

00:17:28.880 And it's going to be hard to recover from this, I think.

00:17:31.140 Some say the bubbles in an aero truffle piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth.

00:17:36.240 Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light.

00:17:39.560 Rich, creamy, chocolatey aero truffle.

00:17:42.740 Feel the aero bubbles melt.

00:17:44.780 It's mind bubbling.

00:18:15.600 Oh, my God. Do you know I heard today so that who is it? Bon Appetit magazine, you know, has like a very good reputation.

00:18:26.400 you know, they're like the food magazine and that they, you know, like first every, all these

00:18:32.060 magazines were just like, and newspapers, you know, oh, he shouldn't, you know, he shouldn't

00:18:36.820 be in there, you know, the socialism, the communism, whatever. And then once he gets in,

00:18:40.800 they're like, oh, he's just look at what he's doing. And then Bon Appetit magazine does an

00:18:46.240 interview with him. Cause I guess that's, they have to, like, they feel like that's their thing

00:18:50.340 with New York and they're like, oh, he's making a really good case for hand food in New York

00:18:57.240 City, like food to eat with your hand. You know how he'll eat with his hands and he has

00:19:01.660 other people eating with his hands. And I'm like, come on, people like stop on a petite

00:19:05.680 magazine hand food. Now they're like, yeah, that's a great idea. And they don't mean hot

00:19:10.720 dogs. I do like Ethiopian food. Have you had that?

00:19:14.360 I love Ethiopian food. I mean, that's all with your hands. You have the injera bread 1.00

00:19:18.180 and scoop up the yes and i go to the ethiopian restaurant in asbury park when i want the ethiopian

00:19:24.980 food um but i don't you know i don't think uh everybody in town like your your firemen and

00:19:32.180 policemen should be made to eat hand food at a meeting and sit on the floor for your updates

00:19:38.100 but whatever that's just me yeah so i guess that the actual grocery store also will have

00:19:44.740 inexpensive food there for people that are not on snap which you know and would have um what was it

00:19:53.140 um better worker rights to the people that are working there and higher pay

00:20:00.500 you know so it's gonna put a lot of the small grocery stores in east harlem out of business

00:20:07.140 also you know so but it is competition and there's already not a lot of grocery stores there

00:20:11.860 all right so good job all right this is going to be just an amazing circular firing squad going on

00:20:18.560 in new york okay good luck good luck all right marcella um no owen who just did that story

00:20:28.120 whoever's next i think it's me um so we of course have more fraud um there's a homeless fraud that

00:20:36.640 daniel greenfield was talking about there's this woman called gwendolyn westbrook who apparently 0.91

00:20:41.440 is a prior embezzler and ran a $36 million homeless nonprofit with Tent City stuff. She's 0.96

00:20:49.540 been indicted for $1.2 million in misappropriation. She bought a Tesla. She was giving luxury cars

00:20:54.600 to her family. She was taking trips to Aruba. She was apparently raised by a Willie Brown ally. So

00:21:01.300 she's part of that whole group. And that comes back to if you know who's involved, you know the

00:21:05.820 news better. Um, and they got millions of dollars for this NGO, uh, despite failing

00:21:11.420 audits and complaints. And they were spending $61,000 per tent per year for this homeless

00:21:17.520 tent city. Um, they spent $16 million a year, or they're going to spend that much by, I

00:21:26.060 think it was by 2021. They spent that much.

00:21:28.360 Where was this?

00:21:28.780 Um, uh, I believe this is out in California, California. Oh yeah. Cause that's the whole

00:21:34.780 willie brown oh right right right area but yeah so i think everyone probably could have seen this

00:21:41.180 coming but apparently it's been overlooked and allowed to happen and it sounds to me like this

00:21:45.920 one might be one where you could probably trace it back to saying they wanted to just give this

00:21:49.740 person a bunch of money um and we're hoping they wouldn't get caught but yeah it's a pretty

00:21:55.040 egregious so she basically just took a whole bunch of money for herself and her family and

00:21:59.980 oh my gosh gave it out to people remember when scott invested in tents

00:22:07.260 you remember all the homeless things were going on he's like he's like don't take my advice but

00:22:12.620 i am i'm gonna invest in a tent company or i invested in a tent company didn't he accidentally

00:22:19.100 invest in rvs when he wanted to invest in tents oh i think he did yeah that was like the whole

00:22:25.260 covid investment time of like okay what's hot right now yeah love that um yeah that's pretty

00:22:31.960 disgusting and i i mean do we get the money back i don't know i mean i'm assuming they would

00:22:40.160 probably confiscate the property i think that's typically what happens when you have this type

00:22:43.640 of case marcella you could probably say better than yeah i mean they they'll take the person's

00:22:49.760 property or whatever it is and and accounts and everything else frees them but you know the

00:22:55.320 taxpayer doesn't get get it back like i don't get it reimbursed or it's never used so this the issue

00:23:02.560 with this is that there's many organizations like this that there's a lot of millions and billions

00:23:12.380 of dollars given to the homeless in california and when you're out there paying you know you see

00:23:20.540 them without anybody helping them or anything else so it's kind of like where's the money going um

00:23:29.260 what is the solution now i like sir not that we know but what is the solution for the homeless

00:23:36.140 encampments for the drug addicts like what is the answer because you know every not every but

00:23:43.940 most major cities have this issue and like you know better climated areas and but what is the

00:23:50.040 answer because like i know dr drew always says well they don't want to be home like they want

00:23:54.200 to be out on the street like they that's their actual lifestyle they're addicts they're not

00:23:59.300 homeless so how do how does this get fixed does like anyone i'm like looking in the chat does

00:24:04.660 Does anyone have a great idea?

00:24:06.760 Go ahead, Marzal.

00:24:07.580 You have to enforce the laws of loitering and everything else. 0.69

00:24:12.060 But I think there has to be in California a change in conservatorships, LPS conservatorships, which is where your family can conserve you if you are at a state where you're a danger, not just your family, but someone else.

00:24:28.980 Because a lot of these people that are out there, and I think Donald Trump, President Trump put a truth post about, and I'm just going off, I don't know if this guy was homeless, but that's kind of what happens here is that this guy killed a grocery or gas attendant with a hammer because they end up living on the street, doing drugs.

00:24:56.420 they grab anything i had to run away from people with hammers you know so it's kind of like um

00:25:03.960 they become very violent it's not just that they're doing harm to themselves they can do harm

00:25:09.820 to others of course so changing the law of how you can conserve someone that is no longer um there

00:25:18.060 you know so that's one step go ahead i think the first step it kind of in in agreement with what

00:25:25.060 marcel is saying is you have to recognize not a homeless problem it's a mental illness and a drug

00:25:29.120 problem and so you have to think of it from that perspective if you're looking for solutions you

00:25:34.020 can't just be like saying oh if we give this person an apartment or a condo everything's solved

00:25:37.680 which is what california tried to do spending massive amounts of money and not getting any

00:25:42.680 results and um you know the i think there is a place in texas i can't remember the name where

00:25:49.160 there is some person who set up like a community out in the middle of the rural area for these

00:25:54.260 homeless people and would bring people out to those places and that seemed to be really effective

00:25:59.160 like it would they would be in a totally different environment it might even be you know mostly

00:26:04.020 outdoors if they wanted to be outdoors but they're away from all the drugs they're away from all the

00:26:08.700 you know whatever is causing maybe the mental illness too and um i you know i don't know there

00:26:14.760 probably are a lot of their other elements to it but i know it's been a big success story

00:26:18.420 And let's not forget disease and everything else. And then what happens to people's real estate values and their personal things that are, you know, their cars are getting broken into over and over and over and over again. And if you wanted to move out of these neighborhoods, you could never sell your property. And you've got to live out there with people peeing and pooping all over your property and in your plants and just, you know, lunatics. And it's just like, oh my God, that is so, I hate, I hate saying this word.

00:26:48.060 I'm just saying it quickly.

00:26:49.200 It's so not fair to the people that live there, that pay taxes, that go to work there.

00:26:54.760 And the other thing, you know, just about enforcing or creating policies, like the first

00:27:01.500 thing you could do is stop this ridiculous thing where you could steal up to $950 worth

00:27:06.700 of things from a store and nothing happens to you.

00:27:10.100 I mean, all the stores are going out of business there.

00:27:12.340 I mean, it's going to be, it's just going to be like a ghost town in these areas.

00:27:16.440 nobody wants to do business there everybody's leaving everybody's leaving california in and

00:27:21.240 out burgers leaving they're going to texas lots of big california companies and i'm not saying

00:27:26.760 it's just a california thing but like universally something has to happen i've been for 20 years 0.74

00:27:34.040 saying like bring back insane asylums like call them whatever you want if you want to give it a

00:27:38.280 fluffy name but and make them privatized and i would gladly be a venture capitalist person to 0.99

00:27:46.280 raise money for these things because these people are mentally ill they're addicted they're sick

00:27:53.400 they have nowhere to be nowhere to go and we have to fix it because no one should be living this way 0.74

00:28:00.040 either them even them and the people that are around them it's just it's crazy i i just think

00:28:05.320 we have done the sort of test small to call back to what we were saying earlier and you know texas

00:28:10.280 I just saw an article that between 2012 and 2022, if you compare California to Texas, Texas homeless population went down by 10,000 and California's went up by 51,000.

00:28:24.300 So they do have systems that work.

00:28:28.260 There are systems that make a dent in it at least.

00:28:31.460 And so I think we just need to make that spread.

00:28:34.480 And I think the problem in California is mostly that the incentives are wrong.

00:28:38.500 You know, you're, you're pumping a bunch of money into this thing and all the people are benefiting from having that money flow through and they get paid kind of like per homeless person. And so that means the more people they have, the more money they get. And, um, you know, there's lots of this corruption and fraud happening in the middle of all that. So people are keeping a lot of this money to themselves and, you know, the builders are benefiting because they're just building a bunch of homes that they pay.

00:29:04.680 you know they they charge full price for even though they're given out either for free or for

00:29:09.600 hardly anything to the people who live there but you know they're still getting paid so like all

00:29:14.460 these people are benefiting it's kind of like the the immigration system where you had all these

00:29:18.520 people benefiting because they were getting paid to bring people into the country and so you're

00:29:22.220 going to have more people coming in the country because they get a certain paycheck every time

00:29:25.620 they do that and so you need to cut off the funding when it's um leading to a bad outcome

00:29:33.200 it's it's it's a bad system as scott would say yeah it really is well i mean we're not going to

00:29:38.800 solve it today and maybe when dr drew comes on we'll talk to him about this too because he will

00:29:43.220 be coming on i don't have the date but it'll be very um okay so i just question marcella yeah

00:29:51.020 did i hear correctly about kamala harris i'm just saying because california is california 0.97

00:30:00.020 She's the answer to all of our problems, don't you know?

00:30:03.140 Did you guys hear what she said maybe might happen?

00:30:08.020 Tell us, Marcella. 0.97

00:30:09.720 So there's a possibility that, one, she might run for president in 2028, 0.92

00:30:15.740 and everybody out there cheering.

00:30:19.840 I can hear it. 0.99

00:30:20.480 Or she will run for California governor based on a write-in candidate position 1.00

00:30:26.740 position where people can write her name in um she does have to provide 65 signatures 0.90

00:30:34.180 in order by may 19 in order to be a write-in candidate where do i sign 0.73

00:30:39.840 all the all the people here in california can um that reside here can do that um unless 0.92

00:30:49.380 right here um so there's a possibility our future you know and to be honest she was better when she

00:30:57.860 was attorney general here but there was a change in her ways well let's let's just can we take a

00:31:06.260 little trip down memory lane because this is what we could look forward to and by the way you guys

00:31:11.540 the start of this clip is what marcella's wardrobe is going to be uh moving forward when you see the

00:31:17.860 red dress we've already discussed let me know if you want me to wear that yeah and then and let's

00:31:22.580 let's revisit the memories of kamala and what we could maybe look forward to in the near future

00:31:28.900 to play my little favorite to play my little favorite highlights real

00:31:34.980 i grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community

00:31:40.660 you need to get to go i need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home

00:31:45.620 We did it. We did it, Joe. You're going to be the next president of the United States.

00:31:53.340 I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

00:32:00.380 You exist in the context. I do believe that we should have rightly believed,

00:32:08.800 but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled.

00:32:13.340 clearly we're not no that's right and that's why i do believe that we are living sadly in um real

00:32:19.820 unsettled times it is and um talking about the significance of the passage of time right the

00:32:27.120 significance of the passage of time so when you think about it there is great significance to

00:32:32.740 the passage of time and so you're now no longer are you necessarily keeping those private files

00:32:38.320 in some file cabinet that's locked in the basement of the house.

00:32:43.420 It's on your laptop, and it's then therefore up here in this cloud that exists above us, right?

00:32:57.180 We have dreams. We can see what is possible, unburdened by what has been.

00:33:03.200 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?

00:35:12.320 at talking i don't know that's great that's just definitely what you want in a leader

00:35:16.140 oh my gosh so run cammy run i love the the part that you played where she was talking to i don't

00:35:26.380 know if it was 60 minutes or whoever it was and they were like oh yeah and she was like yeah this

00:35:31.720 is all settled already and then he goes back to her and says well it's not settled that's why i'm

00:35:38.060 asking yeah she goes some things are just settled it's settled he goes well it's not and she goes

00:35:43.060 right so and i'm like oh my god you are so crazy oh so you know hopefully we'll get to hear from

00:35:53.240 her again um i did want to jump to one other thing um so yesterday at the end of the show

00:35:59.340 marcella so greatly wrapped up in five minutes what was going on this is a little more of a

00:36:06.440 serious subject with the whole ukraine impeachment perfect phone call all of that stuff so um i'm

00:36:14.440 just going to play a little clip and then on the other end marcella and owen will just kind of like

00:36:18.440 re just you know just kind of tighten that up and then we can move on to eric swalwell okay here's

00:36:25.640 a clip from just the news with john solomon tonight we're going to expand on a bombshell story we

00:36:32.200 dropped late last evening new memos declassified by the director of national intelligence tulsi

00:36:37.080 gabbard at the request of just the news we fought six years to get this evidence they show that the

00:36:42.680 intelligence community inspector general had gathered derogatory evidence about the cia

00:36:47.240 analysts who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment against Donald Trump.

00:36:51.840 Remember, that was an impeachment that accused Donald Trump of wrongly asking Ukraine to

00:36:56.560 investigate the Biden's grift there.

00:36:58.200 We now know the grift existed.

00:36:59.740 Well, now we know the man who made that accusation, the chief accuser that touched off that entire

00:37:05.740 episode in American history, had submitted false statements in his whistleblower complaint,

00:37:10.340 had offered hearsay to support his allegations, and was flagged by the inspector general for

00:37:14.740 the intelligence community, the chief watchdog of the intelligence community, for potential

00:37:18.100 bias, including the bias of working for Joe Biden, being a registered Democrat, and disliking

00:37:24.320 Donald Trump and the people around him.

00:37:25.980 In fact, he so disliked Donald Trump, he insisted that his complaint not be shared with allies

00:37:31.060 of President Trump in Congress, even though they were entitled to see it.

00:37:35.260 All day today, people have been reacting, and former impeachment managers saying, we

00:37:39.460 should have known this, lawyers saying this raises very serious concerns about the fairness

00:37:44.460 of the impeachment and Senate trial that occurred six years ago.

00:37:49.860 And the intelligence establishment, including the CIA director and DNI Gabbard, both reacting

00:37:56.320 strongly, saying that the former intelligence community's inspector general, that chief

00:38:01.780 watchdog who buried this derogatory information, that he let the American people down, that

00:38:07.920 he weaponized the whistleblower system, and that he abused his position.

00:38:12.220 are signs that maybe that is going to come under investigation, uh, over the course of the next

00:38:16.280 few days now. Okay. So in the chat, yes or no, will anyone be prosecuted for this? Just, just

00:38:24.700 curious. Yes or no. Will they be prosecuted? No, nothing will happen. I mean, that's pretty

00:38:30.580 stunning and amazing. And the, the breathless reporting on this as if like the worst thing in

00:38:36.760 the world had happened and all of it's just BS is just beyond. So Owen, I'll come to you first

00:38:42.960 on this subject. What do you think? Oh, and everybody's saying no, by the way, in the chat.

00:38:47.180 Yeah, well, I think, you know, certainly I would hope there would be some accountability for this.

00:38:52.660 I don't know that there will be. I'm probably with most of the people in the chat that I doubt

00:38:56.180 anything real is going to come out of this in terms of people going to prison or, you know,

00:39:00.400 getting any consequences for breaking the law. But, you know, it does seem like a huge scandal.

00:39:06.760 And at least we're getting some transparency around it.

00:39:10.060 I'm sure none of the mainstream media is going to cover it.

00:39:13.020 You know, they'll just ignore it like it never happened.

00:39:15.420 And so most Democrats will never even hear about this or know that it came out.

00:39:20.300 But, you know, at least we do have some evidence of it.

00:39:23.320 I think this is another situation where we all knew this is what happened, right?

00:39:27.400 Like it isn't news from the standpoint of learning something happened that you didn't know happened.

00:39:32.260 it's just confirmation that yes it was exactly what you thought it was and six years to get

00:39:40.220 that information is just disgusting um what what do you want to say about that marcella

00:39:46.600 i think john solomon later on um in another interview i think with hannity um maybe i don't

00:39:54.340 remember he said that alan dershowitz had made statements um attorney famous attorney alan

00:40:01.320 Dershowitz had made statements that saying that President Trump can try to get his impeachment

00:40:07.620 expunged, meaning taken off his record. You know, but the issue is that it seems like there is no

00:40:17.680 accountability. There is anybody can whistleblow anything and can be partisan and can be based on

00:40:27.320 hearsay. So if, again, the midterms are important, because it will lead to possibly the Democrats

00:40:36.100 having control of Congress. And again, we'll see another impeachment attempt based on,

00:40:43.040 you know, nothing. So yeah, yeah, apparently it's so I mean, and then when the Republicans got in

00:40:50.620 after trump's first term i was like oh okay so they're gonna just try to impeach everybody and

00:40:58.460 throw the hammer down and none of that's happened so it's just stunning to me and this is why people

00:41:03.260 get fed up with the republicans it's like okay you're in power now like what are we doing and

00:41:09.260 you want to see some kind of accountability something and uh nothing it's it's nothing

00:41:16.380 ever. So, um, I really wish that the Republicans would get a backbone and be pissed. And I don't

00:41:24.920 know how to make that happen. I don't know who needs to be put in what position for these things

00:41:29.520 to happen, but it's, I don't know. I feel like everybody's, I feel like everybody's just blackmailed

00:41:34.940 and they just don't do it because they have dirt on them. I don't know how you burn the whole thing

00:41:40.220 down but it's pretty frustrating as you know taxpayers and citizens and people who would you 0.99

00:41:46.540 know we would all of us watching this would be in trouble for the most stupid things and you'd 0.96

00:41:50.940 probably be put in jail for something that's a nothing and then you see the most egregious 0.95

00:41:56.660 crimes that like literally a full january 6 january 6 you know you go in but the summer of love

00:42:05.040 no problem no they were like yeah let them get their aggression out oh okay so it's it's pretty

00:42:12.800 tough pill to swallow i don't know any other words on this before we move on to

00:42:18.380 it's it's good you mentioned swallow um representative eric swalwell um resigned

00:42:25.160 from congress yesterday not only from his his running for governor he also resigned from

00:42:33.180 congress so he knows he's cooked yeah so and i think it's early because he's he's potentially

00:42:40.060 under criminal investigation now and what i read in one of the stories was that he

00:42:44.860 was worried that if he if it went through a congressional inquiry or this ethics probe that

00:42:49.260 that might expose some information that would hurt him in his criminal trial well let's let's run this

00:42:53.980 clip and then we'll talk about the uh criminal problems what i will say is that many people on

00:43:00.700 I DON'T THINK ANYONE ON THE

00:43:02.700 HILL KNEW ABOUT THIS.

00:43:03.700 MANY REPORTERS HAVE COME

00:43:04.700 FORWARD EVEN IN TALKING TO ME

00:43:05.700 SAYING THAT THEY HAD HEARD

00:43:06.700 STORIES ABOUT THIS.

00:43:07.700 BUT I DO THINK THAT HE HAS

00:43:08.700 SERIOUS CRIMINAL PROBLEMS ON

00:43:09.700 HIS HAND AND I DO THINK THAT HE

00:43:10.700 MIGHT END UP IN JAIL, JESSE.

00:43:11.700 IF I COULD JUST SHARE WITH YOU

00:43:13.700 FOR A MOMENT, NOT ONLY DID I

00:43:15.700 RECEIVE FORENSIC REPORTING

00:43:16.700 SHOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT

00:43:17.700 INFAMOUS VIDEO OF HIM IN THE

00:43:18.700 HOTEL ROOM WAS INDEED HIM.

00:43:20.700 IT WAS NOT AI GENERATED.

00:43:22.700 BUT I'M ALSO BEING TOLD THAT A,

00:43:24.700 MORE STUFF IS GOING TO BE

00:43:25.700 in the next 24 hours, and then also potentially the individual that recorded that video in that

00:43:30.800 hotel room, Jessie, was a female, and she was underage.

00:43:34.380 Oh, just so the audience is aware, there's a video that's circulating.

00:43:38.160 Fox hasn't confirmed it yet.

00:43:39.580 It appears to show Swalwell on a bed, maybe another guy making out with a girl.

00:43:46.200 That's it.

00:43:46.920 That's all we know.

00:43:47.860 But if what you're saying is true, and we don't know, but if that's true, that is very,

00:43:52.760 very, very bad news.

00:43:54.640 But back up.

00:43:55.700 YOU'RE SAYING REPORTERS ON THE

00:43:57.640 HILL KNEW SWALWOW WAS A SHADE

00:43:59.720 BALL BUT DIDN'T INVESTIGATE

00:44:01.580 BECAUSE WHY?

00:44:02.360 BECAUSE HE WAS A DEMOCRAT?

00:44:05.580 I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T

00:44:06.920 PUSH THIS FURTHER. 0.99

00:44:07.820 I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF KIND

00:44:09.440 OF BACKSCRATCHING TAKING PLACE

00:44:11.280 ON THE HILL IN GENERAL BECAUSE

00:44:12.660 IT'S HAPPENING WITHIN OUR OWN

00:44:13.940 PARTY AS WELL.

00:44:14.920 BUT, YES, THEY KNEW ABOUT IT.

00:44:16.720 THEY DID NOT REPORT ON IT.

00:44:17.840 AND YOU'RE SEEING NOW THAT, I

00:44:19.700 MEAN, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,

00:44:20.740 JESSE, BUT I DON'T HAVE 50

00:44:22.180 STAFFERS, LET ALONE 50 STAFFERS

00:44:23.700 that would come out and say that this is wrong and that you need to resign from office, right?

00:44:27.940 So it was clearly a pattern. And as you're seeing with some of the text messages coming out,

00:44:32.260 and I think, again, with this criminal investigation, there's a lot there with him.

00:44:36.360 So, yes, he resigned, I think, to maybe save his family going through this.

00:44:40.360 But ultimately, at the end of the day, when he did what he decided to do,

00:44:43.960 just based on the grounds of him having an inappropriate relationship with a staffer,

00:44:47.720 but now we're looking at the criminal activity. And I stand by what I said,

00:44:51.040 because I saw, again, the forensics report of that video.

00:44:55.140 And if that is true, I would suggest that the Manhattan DA look into that.

00:45:02.020 Wow.

00:45:03.400 So all sorts of people are distancing themselves from him, Democrats, big time.

00:45:09.300 And, you know, we all know that Pelosi gives cover to all these guys. 0.80

00:45:13.880 They're all of her designated liars. 0.83

00:45:17.340 You could name all of them. 0.98

00:45:18.900 We all know who they are.

00:45:20.100 and pelosi is just you know so pelosi claims that nobody knew about any of this this is all a huge

00:45:27.240 surprise yeah and she's gone in eight months you guys so they're not going to have grandmother to

00:45:32.900 watch after them anymore and it's going to be really interesting to see what's you know what's

00:45:38.000 going to come out and when they don't have her protection what's going to happen and i think 0.57

00:45:42.180 we're going to see people dropping off like flies is just my prediction what do you think morsela 0.86

00:45:47.200 you're nodding yes well i mean everybody that was alive breathing knew swalwell had a woman issue i

00:45:55.740 mean thank i personally knew that but um the the issue with that is that most of the accusers had

00:46:03.620 not come out you know with sexual abuse and anything like that it's hard for those abuse

00:46:11.300 to actually come out and say it and accuse somebody in power um however the congress

00:46:19.360 um from what we're told by nancy mace and um and anna polina luna is that there is this kind of

00:46:30.740 issue and we talked about it earlier in another news story that there's this issue with congress

00:46:36.060 in the senate and um that there's like allegations made against all of them and that you know there

00:46:45.800 was a um a bill or some some ruled in order to make it public for the public to know about it

00:46:54.840 but it was voted down so that it's all private this is this goes on in washington quite a lot

00:47:01.440 you know so it's like everybody knows um this happens and and but the interesting part now

00:47:09.140 is that tmc who is usually running like hollywood scandal or you know show business scandal is now

00:47:18.080 in has a borough or has a office now in dc and that will change quite a lot because they will

00:47:27.460 report on these kind of things so yeah they want to they want to go where the action's at now

00:47:33.640 hollywood's dead and dc is the gossip center i just want to say i am shocked that he did these

00:47:41.180 things i mean he's always been such an upstanding guy high integrity you know i i can't believe that

00:47:47.960 this went on and i know you know how did he hide it so well same with bill clinton and monica you

00:47:53.560 know you go back that far and you're like wow you know i didn't see that coming but but he actually

00:48:00.340 isn't the only one tony gonzalez also resigned so he had his own affair problem he's a republican

00:48:07.760 and uh he resigned after having an affair with one of his staffers and she killed herself

00:48:14.200 unfortunately uh very tragic but um so that was also being you know put under an ethics probe and

00:48:21.440 he's out of Congress now mm-hmm yeah that's what I mean this is gonna be

00:48:25.160 interesting let's see if anyone else is like oh the probe the probes getting

00:48:30.140 deeper with with the representative Tony Gonzales he wasn't going to go for

00:48:37.760 office again but he basically he didn't really resign he filed for retirement

00:48:44.360 Oh, I thought he resigned.

00:48:46.360 No.

00:48:47.360 Interesting.

00:48:48.360 So it's very different, meaning that he will just end, he'll retire instead of resigning.

00:48:58.360 I don't know.

00:48:59.360 It might make a difference with how you collect your benefits through your retirement.

00:49:04.360 I have no idea.

00:49:05.360 But his staffer that he allegedly had relations with, because he's denied it, or he's tried to deny it, died in a very shocking way.

00:49:19.600 uh she allegedly she um in the backyard of her house in uvalde texas had um put um

00:49:31.100 basically caught on fire and uh that's how she killed her yowza good god what is that called

00:49:38.660 i forget what it's called emulation i don't know but it's bad it's sad um so you know maybe think

00:49:46.380 twice about uh having your kids uh being assistants over there or a staffer over there in dc i'm just

00:49:54.860 kidding i'm sure most people are fine but i mean it's it's we are we all know this is how dc is

00:50:02.060 the only thing i don't like is that emulation the only thing i don't like is that it's all a secret

00:50:08.380 like let us know who these people are maybe you don't want to re-elect swalwell when you hear

00:50:12.780 about all this stuff right you know and if it's been going on for a long time let us know it's

00:50:17.780 not it's not right to keep who these people truly are um but everybody's basically a liar in dc so

00:50:25.820 you know i will just clarify i saw in the chat someone was saying he did resign i think that

00:50:30.960 this might just be like breaking news where it hasn't actually come out you know publicly yet

00:50:35.020 but there is sort of reports that he's resigning so yeah that's that's what i heard too it could

00:50:42.040 be newer and newer. We'll, we'll all find out after, or if somebody wants to grab that, let us

00:50:46.580 know. But, um, it was on Megyn Kelly this morning. Okay. All right. So he, yeah, I thought I read

00:50:53.000 somewhere that he resigned to, and I just, um, I feel bad for these wives or the spouses or the

00:50:59.840 people that were taken advantage of. And, you know, I remember I was younger when the whole

00:51:04.980 Monica thing went down. Oh, I heard it. I heard it. So anyway, but I was like, I don't blame

00:51:13.460 Monica Lewinsky. She was so young and the president of the United States is giving you

00:51:21.780 this kind of attention. And so I felt bad because she took the most crap for it. It really was on 0.99

00:51:30.500 him oh god everything i say um but anyway i so i felt bad for her and i just i feel like these

00:51:37.060 younger staffers are so vulnerable to these people in power that are giving them attention and i could

00:51:45.060 just see like if i was younger and there was like some man who was like you know my boss or you know

00:51:50.740 whatever and you're like oh no so i don't know i i just hope that um i hope the right people 0.87

00:51:56.900 get the majority of the crap thrown at them. And I feel bad for the wives and Swalwell's wife. I'm 0.98

00:52:05.360 just like, oh my God, everything she's going to hear now, it's just brutal. Yeah, you're young

00:52:09.900 and dumb, right? So do we want to keep talking about him? Not necessarily, but 1.00

00:52:15.640 if there's nothing else, let's move to a different story.

00:52:20.920 No, I think that's it. I've seen rumors and things on X where they say they think more is coming,

00:52:25.120 but like more people um but we'll have to wait and see what else comes out yes beverly your brain

00:52:31.240 isn't i just want to say beverly you're right your brain is not fully developed till the age

00:52:35.420 of 25 and these people are pretty young in there not that that's a full-on excuse but let's be real

00:52:40.680 okay go ahead no i was just going to say i think it's a step in the right direction i think it's

00:52:44.860 great to have more transparency around these things and you know i wish it was more universally

00:52:49.760 applied and i'm not necessarily hopeful that everybody who should be is going to face these

00:52:54.380 consequences um but i am glad that we're at least taking steps in the right direction

00:52:59.260 okay so owen do you want to give us another story we have about nine minutes left

00:53:05.040 uh let's see so there apparently we are giving 40 million dollars a week to the taliban did you

00:53:12.100 know that um burchette was talking about this and um apparently it's 40 million dollars a week

00:53:20.280 five billion dollars total so far i think and apparently to the taliban wait we're giving

00:53:28.180 40 million dollars to the taliban per week yeah it's going through a bunch of ngos in the u.n

00:53:35.840 and things but it's all ending up with the taliban okay in afghanistan all right good night

00:53:40.380 everybody have a great day there is speculation at least that maybe some of it's you know there

00:53:46.200 maybe some kickbacks back to politicians happening i'm not sure but the democrats apparently are

00:53:51.220 really wanting this to continue i'm sure they will can you make that make sense i don't understand

00:53:58.720 at all like what's happening i don't think i can but i think if i were to try and steel man the

00:54:05.060 argument i think the the twisted logic behind it is that they think by giving them money that they

00:54:12.140 can help stabilize the region, that they're going to basically be more amenable to staying

00:54:20.120 on good terms with us, and that if you didn't support them, that it might collapse and become

00:54:26.480 much worse or more terrorism and other things. So that's my guess is how they would justify it,

00:54:31.420 but I don't buy it at all. So they're negotiating with terrorists?

00:54:35.340 Exactly. Yeah, they're paying them off. All right. Well, that's amazing. That's

00:54:40.740 fantastic marcella what's your lighthearted story no i'm just kidding well no i was gonna say you

00:54:46.340 know this is why people are so fed up on either side republican or democrat because when we drive

00:54:52.260 around when we go through to our cities in in the united states we see all these issues

00:54:58.580 infrastructure issues and yet all this money is being given to foreign governments but where

00:55:04.580 are where is that money going into america you know so that that bothers me because it shouldn't

00:55:13.300 be like that we need more burshette we need him we need him like every day just he needs a podcast

00:55:20.500 i love him he's a good dude um so um in my lighthearted story pickleball injuries have risen

00:55:30.500 oh pickleball yes and so pickle i i should not laugh because it's actually very serious injuries

00:55:39.460 to the eyes ocular issues that have happened and um there's a journal named i yes e-y-e

00:55:48.980 and then analyze the data from 2014 through 2023 and it it tied uh about 3 000

00:55:58.020 and injuries to the sport, ocular injuries.

00:56:02.700 And part of the reason is that people don't wear

00:56:06.860 any protective eye gear in order to avoid it.

00:56:10.840 And they end up playing with,

00:56:15.340 basically with people that know how,

00:56:18.200 and they might not know how, and then they end up injured.

00:56:21.600 So there you go.

00:56:23.240 You have to watch out for your pickleballs. 1.00

00:56:25.300 Darla is our resident pickleball queen. 1.00

00:56:27.680 she is the pickleball princess and now yeah does she wear eye gear in order to not have these 0.62

00:56:37.280 injuries darla let's do a locals only interview one night this week and let's talk about the

00:56:43.760 pickleball saga and also i know that there's a lot of um achilles tendon injuries and ankle injuries

00:56:52.240 Yeah. The hospitals, you know, listen, a lot of older women, when I say older, I don't even mean 1.00

00:56:58.120 old. I just mean like older women are playing pickleball. And, you know, a lot of us aren't 1.00

00:57:04.320 built the way we used to be. And so you're stopping short and running and this and that.

00:57:09.120 And like, you know, your knees aren't as happy, your ankles, all of your tendons, make sure you

00:57:14.160 guys warm up, you stretch, you take proper precautions. I'm going to say wear the sports

00:57:19.760 goggles now nobody needs to take a shot to the eye it's not fun um but yeah there are tons of

00:57:26.720 injuries reported at the hospitals and we have friends that work at hospitals and they're just

00:57:30.900 like oh you should see all the pickleball madness coming in the in the er so you know so be careful 1.00

00:57:37.100 you know i wonder was it introduced by china

00:57:40.400 i don't know that's a good question i was like interesting i think ping pong might be a little

00:57:49.900 bit safer i read i read a book about brain health and he the the doctor i think it was maybe dr

00:57:55.660 amen i can't remember who wrote it but um he was pointing out how pretty much almost every sport

00:58:01.600 has like collision industries of some sort that and his point was that like all of them do injure

00:58:08.660 your brain like every concussion injures your brain and he can scan your brain and see where

00:58:13.020 you've had impacts and he recommended ping pong as the only safe sport because there was no contact

00:58:18.880 involved and didn't didn't are i'm making this up too but isn't in china wait did they invent ping

00:58:25.980 pong allegedly i don't know what they say let's ask let's ask chester forrest gump where's chester

00:58:37.260 i'm gonna ask chester right now um one other story i can add is uh apparently they're going

00:58:42.940 to be calling pablo escobar's cocaine hippos so what he brought over four hippos to colombia

00:58:50.780 and apparently they went wild and got out and now there were there were like 170 of them

00:58:57.260 in 2022 and they've been threatening villagers and manatees and they tried neutering them that

00:59:03.040 didn't work so they're going to be euthanizing 80 hippos in colombia oh no owen that's not good

00:59:11.720 can they just put them in a zoo or something well they were brought over to be in a zoo and then i

00:59:16.900 think apparently they somehow got out and they're running wild now oh no save the hippos i will say

00:59:24.360 hippos are pretty nasty they're from what i understand they're one of the more dangerous

00:59:28.000 creatures you can encounter out in the jungle or wherever they live it's not their fault that 0.66

00:59:32.600 they're running around yeah i mean you know i could certainly argue that it would be more humane

00:59:37.160 and better to just relocate them back to where they came from i'm not sure how you transport 80

00:59:43.140 hippos or even capture them but apparently there will be less cocaine hippos in columbia

00:59:50.180 yeah i mean god all right so ping pong comes from the brits it comes from the brits someone named

01:00:01.340 david foster who patented a table version of tennis in 1890 the name ping pong itself came

01:00:09.580 later and was trademarked by the british company jay jacques and son in 1901 so let's go england

01:00:18.620 but the yes of course the chinese dominate at that sport i don't know why i said of course but

01:00:24.140 that sounded kind of racist i didn't mean it that way um okay you guys so here we go um tomorrow

01:00:32.220 we have bj joining us bj honking for freedom and we're going to definitely go over what's
