Epis 238 - Meron Open For Business?

[music] >> What are you laughing about? You love it. You loved it. [laughter] You You loved it. Just say I loved that music intro. >> Again, I just I find it funny that you that you put a lot of work into this. What You want You want quality? Yeah. It's great. I love the heavy Klezmer influence. >> Yeah, yeah. But also people need to know that we can't just play songs Yeah. >> that belong to other people cuz we'll get flagged. >> Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We'll get thrown right off of Spotify. This was generated with AI. Yes. >> And I do have a story to go with it. So, I worked with AI to come up with that song. I had something in mind and you know, I had to go back and forth, fight with it. And then fight with a bunch of different services till I got what I wanted and that was it. And when I heard it, I said, "Yes. This is the one. This is This is what I'm going to play after I've had this uh music fest, basically. Yes. You know what I mean? Because that's what we're all doing. We're listening to acapella. People now are not even listening to this podcast. They're just listening to music. >> Yes. Yeah, you can't blame them. Exactly. So now, I I ended up going to a bunch of different services, different AI uh services that I've used in the past, whatever, and I I I first work with work with ChatGPT to come up with a good prompt. Okay. You know, because this is what I want. >> is everything. Prompt is everything. So, then I took that prompt and I gave it to four different services. And each one came up with they decided to give their own titles. One of them said, you know, "Yiddish Wedding." Another one said uh something else. One of them, this is beatoven.ai. Do we get to know who you used? Like, I feel like ChatGPT is involved, maybe Claude? No, that was none of those. These These were music uh first AIs. >> Interesting. Yeah. So, like real niche AI programs. >> the one that I ended up choosing. I'll tell you the one I didn't choose cuz I can't forget it because when it finished, so what is the term that all the anti-Semites use now? Like you see it in every article, whenever they want to say if it's a non-Jewish person talking to a Jewish person and they want to be anti-Semitic, what do they say? What's the term? How do >> Non like anti-Zionism? No, how do they refer to themselves? I don't know. I don't know. >> Oh, cuz you're you're attacking me cuz I'm a [ __ ] I'm one of the [ __ ] >> Oh, yeah. [ __ ] is a big big word to me. >> like the N-word now? No, I mean look, we know that it's not that. I mean the definition of [ __ ] is just nation. >> They want to turn it into that. Right? They're making it like all the Jews call us [ __ ] and they they look down on us and they think we're we're animals. >> Well, you can thank Nick Fuentes for this exclusively cuz he's the one that started this trend. And by the way, my favorite term ever is [ __ ] slop. >> [laughter] >> I love that word. I love that word. I'm not so comfortable using it. >> Nick Fuentes. For those who don't know, he loves Nick Fuentes. >> I don't love him. I just recognize his talent. Okay, wait. Getting back to this because you have to see this first before you continue this. This particular one, this was Beatoven. That's the name of the service. >> Mhm. It came up with the song. >> Yeah, that's an interesting name. >> like Beethoven. [clears throat] Ah. So oh. Yeah. A little corny, but yeah. >> But cute. Um this is the song that it came up with and this is the title of it. You're looking at it. >> Oh, Goyim's Dance. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. But why like if it's supposed to be a Jewish song, >> Right. >> why is he >> Right. Right. Right. >> So you're saying it's pre-programmed already. >> I got very uncomfortable. >> Goyim's Dance? I I mean I didn't save it. You want to It It It was terrible, by the way. >> Let's hear it. >> terrible. >> Well, you know, rightfully probably. >> Okay, here you go. I will play it for you. >> [music] >> Yeah, how bad was that? >> Yeah, that was horrible. Like again, if you would have [ __ ] at at a Jewish wedding. >> No, no, that that was No, no, that was not It was chaos. There was no music to it. It was just chaos. It has two. You want to hear the second one? >> Sure. >> [music] >> It sounds like cars getting into accidents, [laughter] right? It's really bad. It's really bad. Goyim's dance is not a thing. Okay, but the question is how did it end up calling it goyim's dance? >> That's a great question. Can you like can you reverse engineer how it got to that name? >> No. Cuz it's it's embedded in the code. I believe that the reason it did is because we know that AI trains itself on like Reddit, a lot of Wikipedia. All these things, you know, have been taken over by the extreme anti-Semites. I think that's what where it came from. Uh, I don't know. I mean, look, I just >> do you explain goyim's dance? Because I think the word is out there in the lexicon right now. By I obviously Yeah, but it's out there. Okay. So, it's out there. >> used in a good way. Yeah, but there's an association with Jewish and Jewish people. So, it's just going to come up with that. I don't think that this is malicious or nefarious. >> I'm planning to sue them. Yep, do it. >> [laughter] >> Bro, do it. We can't really show damages. But anyway, how was your Lag BaOmer? Uh, it was good. It was very good. I got to see some fire. Did you? Yeah. >> No, you didn't. >> From far. >> [laughter] >> I mean, we live not too far from each other. We had a massive bonfire literally steps away from our house. >> Yeah, I don't know. I didn't have the energy Yeah, I didn't I don't have the [laughter] energy to do that. Like, to just go out. Like, I need it to be on a weekend. Can we just push all the Lag BaOmer bonfires to the weekend? I have a different take on this. I've mentioned it before. I'm against the bonfires. I'm anti-bonfire. Why? You know why. Because what? You think it's a hill of shame? Yes. >> Come on. >> It is. >> Like you you're that's the promise of this country is that you can practice your religion freely. >> Okay, let me just paint a picture for you, okay? You are a guy, you are >> I'm sure. >> aboriginal >> [laughter] >> New Zealander. Aboriginal guy. You never met a Jew. You never saw a Jew. You knew nothing about Judaism. >> All right. You never? Never. >> Okay. >> Okay? You come to Flatbush and you're going to your hotel and for some reason you're coming through Flatbush and you're going down the street and you see a massive fire and Jews with, you know, their faces are lit up by this fire and they're dancing in circles and screaming and the music's pumping. What are you thinking at that moment? >> I'm thinking that it First of all, if I'm a person that has respect for cultures, I'm just thinking, "Wow, that's really interesting. Like, I wonder what that's about." >> a bonfire. This is not like on a beach or in a field. There's cars on all sides. There's apartment buildings and a giant fire and everyone's dancing around the fire. >> No, you know, you don't even need to go to an Australian. Just How about the American that lives next door? >> Yeah, they're not happy. I'm sure they're not. But, you know what? We don't say anything when it's their parades and they take over Fifth Avenue. >> Okay, what do they do that's anything similar to this? Um St. Patrick's Day. How about that? >> That's a parade. It's a parade. It shuts down traffic. There's people walking around drunk. There's fights. >> And we have the Salute to Israel Parade. So, we do the same thing. >> So, that's what it means to live in a diverse city. There's going to be people that are making bonfires and enjoying themselves and you just [laughter] have to grin and bear it. >> is not a parade. It's a bonfire in the middle of the city. >> Yeah, I I get it. >> It's crazy. >> It's controlled. I mean, baruch Hashem, there was have been no um incidents. >> have been incidents in the past. You know that. >> but this year we're clear. >> baruch Hashem. But, okay, but you see how it could go sideways very easily. Yeah, I don't think I >> If it was in the middle Like I said, if it was in Marine Park, if it was in the park and it was, you know, in the middle of a field and you're not bother bothering anyone, cuz it's the height. Yeah, but you're you're trying to challenge uh hundreds of years, I wouldn't say hundreds, but you're trying you know, it's we're talking about decades of of bonfires being made by Jews to honor No, but it's a custom. >> It's it's a fairly recent custom. Um I don't know how far back it goes, but you know, people take it to to places they shouldn't take, you know, they shouldn't go. I mean, you saw what happened in Israel, right? >> So, Israel we covered this, how they were limiting it tremendously. And the chief rabbi himself, like the Sephardic chief rabbi, got up and he's like, "Don't do this. Like there's no excuse. Like if you value your life, do not go to Meron." And they did not listen. >> [laughter] >> They said that there were upwards of 20,000 people. >> What did the police do? They were pulling down So, there were security gates. Again, we're talking about Meron in Israel, you know, the site of the biggest arguably Lag B'Omer event in the world. Right, the burial site of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Right. And they were ripping down the security fences. The police were light-handed, so they didn't really And and they were thanked by, I forgot who, Saar, I believe, thanked them for being, you know, not not letting things really But What do you mean not letting things really what? Meaning They didn't take a heavy hand against people that were >> that were doing this. But I mean, we'll include a video. There's just a video of some of the revelers, the Lag B'Omer revelers. I think there must have been a little bit of rain if I'm looking at this video correctly, right? Yeah, I see a lot of the shtreimels being covered. With plastic bags. But, you know, when the when the government and the rabbinate tells you to, you know, not do something, okay, you're going to argue and say no, there were other rabbis that said to go and there were rabbis in attendance. But, when you're pulling down, you know, police security fences, that's a chill Hashem in my my opinion. In my humble opinion. >> are no fun. >> [laughter] >> I'm not >> fun at all. >> You just learn this now? >> I'm just saying. Like, come on. >> fun person you know. >> But just, you know, like let loose a little bit. I can't. >> Every once in a while. And go enjoy a bonfire. I can't. Can't cuz I'm thinking about, you know, this is why. >> Maybe next year we're going to actually commit to going. I will bring you and you will have to endure. Well, we were invited to go to Bubba's. Yes. Which we did not do. >> [laughter] >> By the way, that I could see myself doing. You're saying that's better? Yeah. It's controlled. It's still in the middle of a city. It's Borough Park. Yes. So you're still getting the the >> like Borough Park is more Jewish. It's like all Jews. >> saying the non-Jews in the area >> Yes. >> are not they don't count? Like it's very much to their chagrin the entire avenue is is is is completely closed off. >> there's no non-Jews going to Borough Park. >> Oh, will you? >> There's very few. >> need to spend more time in Borough Park. I mean, yes, it's predominantly Jewish. >> It's It's what is it? 90%? >> No, that's a very high number. I think you should ask Chat. >> So, okay, so we'll both ask uh we'll ask our respective AIs. What do you got? >> Fine. I have 75 to 85%. >> Uh I got 90. >> is pretty good. Which is pretty good. Which means four to one roughly or even five to one. >> That's a big difference. >> non-Jews. That's why Hashem works. >> [laughter] [gasps] >> And Chat GPT extended thinking says 75 to 80%. So it's Let's say the number's 80. >> Right. Cuz that's that's the mid of both. >> Okay. So there's 20% of people that are dismayed at what's going on in their city. >> to Flatbush, where it's probably closer to 50 or you know, Jews are maximum I think 50%. Um I don't know if you're right. Let's check it. >> [laughter] >> Here we go. Okay, so what do you got for Flatbush? Um for Flatbush as a whole, it's not great. It's not great. It's like 35. >> Ah. >> [laughter] >> But it's a The Flopush is really big. >> I was wrong. >> It says 35 to 50. >> Okay, well ChatGPT ChatGPT extended says 30%. 30% overall? >> 30%. >> Interesting. >> So it's much less. >> So you're saying that's why you'll attend Yes. >> a bonfire in Borough Park ahead of Flopush and Flopush. Interesting. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes sense, no? Yeah, but listen, you got to start small. So let's let's commit to you going next year to Borough Park. We'll see how it goes, and then maybe the year after. >> We'll see. Yeah. I'll see. >> Fair. Back to Myron and Israel. I I do feel bad for the people that actually like listened to instructions >> Right. >> and sat home. Yeah. And they're like, "Wait wait a second. People went? What do you mean? >> [laughter] >> I stayed home for this. >> Exactly. This not fair. And they have to watch it. You know what I'm saying? >> It's all over the media. We were going to go, but then the the rabbi said no, and the government said no, so we stayed home, and and look what's going on. >> I didn't get my eyes clean. >> [laughter] >> I could have been dancing. >> Yeah, you missed it. Yeah. This is my workout for the all year. Yeah. >> And now I miss it. >> that. I believe it. Well, speaking about work out in Israel, that was a nice You just reminded me. I know you saw this video. I don't know why the whole video struck me in a very odd way. Of course, we're going to include the the video on our WhatsApp, and if you're not a member of the WhatsApp, go to kishlaclubpodcast.com and join. >> Full details on our website. >> [laughter] >> You'll know You'll know what that is later. This is a a video of Bibi where somebody came to Bibi while he was at the gym working out asking him questions. You're going to translate it for us. We're going to play it. You're going to translate while it happens. Okay, so right off the bat, before you even start playing this video, I don't love his workout at all. >> Okay, thank you. That's bothering me like crazy. >> I I this >> Seeing him like this, it in my eyes, he dropped 10 levels. >> Yeah, because first of all, like he looks like a yeshiva guy working out. You know what I'm saying? >> What's wrong with that? It's no, nothing wrong with it. It's just from the prime minister, I would expect like, you know, nice Nike sneakers or like some type of a branded t-shirt, perhaps. I don't know. Yeah. Not like these sweatpants. Very nebbie. Yeah. >> Right? Yeah, it's real like this is not a good look. >> in the middle of a war. He he has the most advanced military, one of the most advanced militaries in the world. He's always in a suit. I don't want to see him like this. >> No, this is not a good look. Like just can we just put a little bit of government spending into his like workout wardrobe? What about the fact that if you see what he's lifting, what is that? Like 10 lb? No, look see look good. Yeah. It's half of the it's half of the whole rack. Is it? So, you're just telling me he's super strong? Look how quickly he's [laughter] he's barely he's barely doing anything. >> It's another thing, he's not a physically impressive man. >> Well, but but you're telling me it's a it's a lot of weight. He's pulling it like with his pinky. >> Yeah, he's pulling half of the weight of the machine. Yeah. Yeah, so it looks somewhat significant, but again, there is this man has no build. Right. And I don't know like what to make of that. Like, you know, he's supposed to be a hero. Like he's he's an Israeli hero. Right. But he he's very the whole thing's nebbie. Yeah. Very nebbie. He just looks like a you know, and then he's walking up the stairs. He talks about walking up the stairs. I mean, some of it surprises us. What are they what are they saying in this video? So, it starts off with a reporter asking him if he can spend the day following Bibi. Right. Uh to which he says, "Okay." And then you see that little clip of him doing the workout. Then it cuts to him taking the stairs where he says, "You know, whenever there is an option to take the stairs, I always take the stairs." >> [laughter] >> Hot take. And then he somehow ends up in a kitchen. >> [laughter] >> You know, cuz the reporter asks him what he >> suit at that point, which is much better. >> when >> but the reporter asks him, "So, what's your post-workout meal?" And he says, "Hard-boiled eggs." And then you see him actually peeling his own hard-boiled eggs in some kitchen. I don't know where he is. >> we supposed to believe that he peels his own hard-boiled eggs? I mean, the man is doing a good job. I mean, it looks like he's well-trained. I don't think Sara Netanyahu is peeling eggs for him. No, he must have people. He's even cleaning up. >> Yeah. But then at the end, there's a tray of cake. >> [laughter] >> And he just grabs a piece of cake. >> the Jewish style. He undoes the entire workout. >> Wait. And then the reporter says, "Don't worry. We're going to cut this from the final edit." Which they clearly don't. >> [laughter] >> So, the whole thing rubbed me the wrong way. >> Yeah, I I understand that. This is not a I don't even know why Like, I guess it must have gained popularity. >> Yeah, it did. It went kind of viral. Uh I'll tell you what what where I got impressed is when I see these types of videos. This is a Taiwanese grandmothers age 89 and 91 train at the gym. Look at what's going on there. 89 and 91. Look at them lifting. >> Yeah. Look at them pumping iron. >> Yeah, that's deadlift. That's a That's called a a hex bar because it's shaped like a hexagon. >> And that's how people do deadlifts in the safest way possible because those are really dangerous for the back. >> Ah. And they are 89 and 91. >> she's lifting like almost 300 lb here. >> No, she's not. She's not. So, so zoom in. The first thing I did, if you look, it says 2.5 kg. Not 25? >> No, it's 2.5. >> looks like [laughter] a 25-lb plate. >> the same thing. It's only 5 lb, and there's three of them. So, it's 15 lb. Oh, maybe it's a little more. Yeah, look look right there. >> do you see the point? >> Uh 2.5. >> Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, but it's still pretty good. >> Yeah, I mean >> And the middle one is even thicker than that. So, I I probably got about 20 lb. >> That's a That's like a 7-pounder. Yeah, probably about 20 lb. But but on each side, so that's 40 pounds. >> bar weighs a lot. Oh, okay. >> itself I mean again, I don't know what type of weights these people are working with. Maybe it's especially like an old age gym. Well, it's got to be 50 pounds. Conservatively, it's 50 pounds. Okay. That's that's >> 50 to 80. Okay, for an 89-year-old woman? If you can lift your age at that [laughter] age, you're doing well. And you see like she doesn't give off that vibe, that Netany vibe, that that Netanyahu gave off. >> Yeah. So, maybe we should send Ship him to Taiwan and let these ladies train him. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine [laughter] a video with two an 89-year-old and a 91-year-old and Bibi Yeah, Bibi. That would go viral. That would be amazing. Also, I saw another story. I mean, we're going to go through a few Israel stories quickly. In Thailand, so Thai police raided an illegal school run by an Iranian couple with 89 Israeli kids enrolled. A lot to unpack. >> [laughter] >> A lot to unpack. There's so much in there. There's so much in there. >> Yeah. Why are there 89 Israeli kids in Thailand? I would think that the Iranian people are trying to just be nice to the Israelis. Like they hear >> Wait, this is Thailand. >> I know, but this is an Iranian couple. Okay. >> And they're already very afraid of Israel cuz they see what's going on in their home in their hometown. Okay. >> [laughter] >> So, they're like, "We should be very nice to these children." Okay, why are there 89 Israeli school children in Thailand? Probably because tuition is super low. >> [laughter] >> Interesting. Yeah, I mean >> Is so many Israelis living in Thailand? >> Oh, yeah. >> Really? India, Thailand >> India? India, there's a lot of Israelis go to India and move there. What? >> Yeah, I can't believe you don't know this. >> I I I don't know what you're saying right now. >> Yeah, it's a it's an unfortunate thing because they're not going like for good purposes. You know what I'm saying? >> It's more freedom, I think. There's There's parties, there's I don't know what there is there. There's just more freedom. In India. >> [laughter] >> In India and Thailand. Well, Thailand I understand. India, I don't know. I mean, the culture is just so different. And that's what they're looking for. You understand? They're just looking Yeah. >> were running away. Yeah, it's I think it's a sad thing. Yeah, yeah, definitely think so. And and then, you know, Iranians and and the school was only supposed to have supposed to only be 18 kids and there was actually 89 kids. And all of them Israeli, which is crazy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Iranians in Thailand. The whole thing made no sense to me. Yeah, the whole thing is a little crazy. I I will agree, but I think what I'm saying kind of makes sense. Yeah, I hear it. It's very possible. There was another video, I mean, this was not a good one, but we were talking about Hashem before. Did you see the video of the the guy Orthodox guy who in the old city goes and knocks down the nun. I haven't seen it, but I think I would like to. That's a weird take, but I think >> make me a better person? >> bit weird, yeah. >> [laughter] >> So, here it is, not much to hear. Here's the video. In the video, you see this guy you since it's flowing, running, he knocks her down. You know, she By the way, there's like this planter where there's like this raised concrete. It what like It's stone. It's stone. It's all stone. It's all really hard. >> could have hit her head on that and it would have been lights out. >> Oh, yes. So, this is like Well, what about the fact that he turns around and comes back. Comes back and kicks her. And then a bystander who who sees the whole thing happening, he walks over and then he kicks the guy who hit the nun. Which is another Israeli Jewish person. >> he's Jewish. Sorry. But again, people, we don't need to give more. First of all, what are you doing? This is an older woman nun. Like And by the way, in the video, you actually see you see him like screaming at the nun and pointing. Almost like there was possibly an altercation, but you see him running towards her. You don't see her doing anything to him. Right. No, no, she her she's he pushes her from behind. >> Yeah. Yes. So there's no there's no confrontation. >> when he goes back, he's screaming at her. Yeah. Look, you'll see. See, and he's screaming at another guy who's walking by. By the way, you see he points at her and he's screaming. Yeah. By the way, this other guy with a yarmulke who's just standing there watching doesn't get involved, doesn't she see if she's okay. By the way, it was the Israeli police that released this video. Guys, guys, some things you don't have to release. Throw them in jail, don't release the video. Right. >> It's not Tucker's birthday. On his birthday you release it. Right, but also >> get the you get the best? But also I want to say look, if this was the other way around, yeah, and it was a Jew being attacked, I don't think anybody would have any questions. In this situation though, I want to say that that guy is probably not mentally stable. Because who does that? Who does that? It's not something you see every day. It's not something you see at all. So when you see a Jewish man attacking an elderly nun, the first thing my mind goes to is this guy's not well. There's no way he's well. Like what could you possibly have against this 85-year-old nun? Okay, the problem is is the way the media, you know, took it and ran with it and it went crazy viral. Uh the the uh all the different areas of the Israeli government had to make a statement about it. I mean, here's a a headline from the Times of Israel says Jerusalem Christians not surprised by attack on nun as abuse becomes routine. So, you know, this is this is a bad look. >> Yeah, I don't like it, but you know, It's not just a bad look, by the way. I'm sorry. It's not a bad look. It's disgusting. Yeah, no, it's despicable. It's the deed itself is intrinsically bad, right? >> There's no mitzvah to go find an old lady and push her from behind. It's it's just insane. >> Yeah, clearly. So yeah, so you see why you see why I get riled up and that's why I didn't go to Lag Ba'omer. >> [laughter] >> See what I'm saying? This is it. I'm not kidding. This is why. Because in my brain I'm I'm hyped up. You're saying you're hyper aware of of what the non-Jews think of us. Yes. Interesting. >> Yes. Yes. That's really what it All right. You're basically obsessed with the [ __ ] Yeah. Okay. Uh because we're supposed to be a light unto the nations. We're supposed to set an example for the world to show this is what Jews are about. We are peaceful people. We're giving people kashrut, mitzvahs. This is what we do. >> And by the way, 99% of the time we are. I mean, you have this 1%. >> to call them out. >> You can't control everything. >> to call them out. That's all I'm saying. Okay. That's what we're doing. And that's why I didn't go to Lag Ba'omer. I didn't know that everything was going to go well, by the way. And you didn't know either. Happened to be, like you said, everything went well. But we didn't know. It could have gone sideways. So I opted instead I stayed home. This is a very fatalistic view. I I stayed home. I got my pizza steel. We'll talk about the pizza steel at a different time. I made some fresh homemade pizza. And >> you celebrated. Yes. And I got to tell you, if you never tried pizza on a pizza steel, you you're missing out. Shout out to my brother-in-law who told me about it. >> I assume it's like a pizza stone. It's like a pizza stone, but it's made out of steel. >> That's what I figured. It gets really, really hot. And you get a crust that's amazing. But but and here's the butt. >> Mhm. Your oven needs to go really high temp. So your oven has to hit like a 550 or higher. So you're saying you need >> of ovens max out. >> Yeah. I don't think my oven goes above 500. Right. So what you need to do is really take a trip to Town Appliance. >> [laughter] >> No, I knew. You didn't know. >> I knew. You did not know. >> crazy? Yeah. >> [laughter] >> No, but it is true, by the way. If you try to make homemade pizza and you're going at 475, you're not going to get that, you know, pizza store pizza. You're just not. So you need a new oven. And the newer ovens do it. My oven does do it. I do have a new oven from Town Appliance. Oh, are Are on? I don't think. Yeah, [laughter] yeah. I don't think we were on. Yeah, we're on. I was talking off the mic. >> No, we were on. We were on. And my oven does go. Town Appliance. Interesting. Um okay, I guess I I have to graduate. You know what I'm saying? I'm not like holding What's holding you back? Go to Town Appliance right now. I guess I guess. I guess I want something I listen, once I'm like shopping, I want something that hits 700°. [laughter] I don't know. You need 750. No, no, no, you can't. No, you need that then you need a pizza oven. You need like an Ooni. Like one of those. So 750 is where you draw the line? Like where do you draw the line? >> I think 600. 600 is the max. Like that's the max a home oven should have. I think so. But yeah. But 550 you'll get a great pizza. 600 you could get a New York pizza. You know, but yeah. But it's not just about ovens by the way. We're talking a lot about ovens.

What are you talking about? >> Time for You know what that music means? >> I really don't. Casey sports. It's the [laughter] Casey sports corner. Where we see how ignorant we are when it comes to all things sports. Well, I listen, just about sports. Uh did you hear about the untimely petira of John Sterling? >> Yes, that's on the list, yeah. Okay. I'm just saying this was a shock. But it wasn't. I mean, he was 87? Okay. I mean, he's he was not a young man. It's 2026. I mean, he could have gone deep into his 90s. So, but based on what? >> I'm just saying, between AI and between like peptides and things that are out there, like this man could have made it. >> Okay. And also, we didn't hear anything about him being sick. True. True. I mean, but then again, we do not follow anything to do with sports. >> [laughter] >> So, we have no we don't have a baseline. I don't know. I just feel like it would have been a national story. You know what I'm saying? John Sterling is, you know, he's a mondi omar. >> Yeah, I even knew like I know his voice. Like you can't be a New Yorker and not know. He's very quite famous. Are you getting Jackie Mason vibes? Cuz I'm getting Jackie Mason vibes. Interesting. >> Right? You seeing it? A little bit. A little bit. Wait, is he Jewish? I'm not sure. Uh let's check it out. Yes. Yes, he is Jewish. He was Jewish. >> up in Manhattan. He grew up in Manhattan's Upper East Side. >> Yeah, like regular like yeah. >> [laughter] >> Regular. So, he made it. So, for those who who aren't aren't sure if they've ever heard him, we're going to play you just to a little bit of what he sounded like. Here it is. It's burning. It'll be a 3-2. Swung on and hit high in the air to deep right. That ball is high, it is far, and it is gone! There he is. >> mean, the man had an energy. You know what I'm saying? I I'm excited now, and I don't know nothing about [laughter] this. You don't even know what sport that was. Yeah, me neither. Okay, the other big thing New York news is the Knicks. Tell me. Oh, you don't know about the Knicks, huh? What kind of New Yorker are you? I know that there was a clip going around of a few Jewish guys at Knicks game saying Sfera. I didn't see that. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Uh I saw I saw one that a guy at I don't know if it was a Knicks game where he's saying minion, anyone available for a minion? And then the camera pans and you see guys dressed like the minions. You know, the little yellow guys. >> Yeah. So, anyway, the Knicks are in the playoffs. >> Oh, wow. >> And they already progressed to I want to say uh the next round? Is that how you say it? >> That's it's good enough for me. >> Right? Yeah, next round. By the way, I get the gist. >> look, you're looking at the brackets here. This is the playoffs. This is big. They're playing the 76ers. Uh I think uh they are currently leading. It's a best of seven, and they're leading one game to zero. >> Okay, could you just show me where the where they are on this chart? >> here. Right I see. But, that looks low. Like Thunder and Suns look look look look like higher up. >> I don't think No, I think it's just I think it was just placement. I don't know. I could be wrong. Maybe their record is better. But, they say people say that the Knicks have a good chance to go all the way. Which would be I mean, it's been a long time. When was the last time the Knicks won? I mean, look, that's why they're the Knicks. I mean, any of these teams, they got there because they're unbelievable at what they do. They're great at the sport, and I I would say >> the Knicks have not won since 1973. Oh, that's a long time. Very long time. It's really bad. Oh, wow. So, they're due. >> Like how like how do they make money if they're not like winning championships? Because they don't have to win championships for people to follow you and be fans, come to the games, buy tickets, buy merchandise, licensing, etc. etc. >> shows you that like all Knicks fans have been believers since 1973. Like they all believe >> Talk about Nebuch. that their team is going all the way and that's why they come to the games. Like if you knew ahead of time that the Knicks are not going to be in the playoffs or they're not going to be the champions, would you still go to the games? What They're actually I mean look everyone like makes fun of the Mets, you know, like the Mets aren't Right you you said yeah. Oh you talk about Nebuch. Okay, but the the Mets actually won in 1986. Right. >> So they're doing even Even [laughter] there even the Nebs. Even the Nebs do are doing much better than the Knicks. Yeah. >> And if you talk about like hockey, I know the Rangers won I I don't know when. >> Mhm. Let's see. Yeah so the Rangers the last time they won was in 1994. A lot more recent. >> that makes them a little bit better. Yeah so so Knicks are the worst of the New York teams. It's sad that New York has like decades between championships. >> Yeah. Like in hockey 94? You're talking that that's how long is that? 20 years. But if you look at this, if you look at the Yankees, the Yankees and I always say this cuz I have a lot of family members who are Yankee fans and then I have family members who are Mets fans and for the life of me and I guess it's because I'm not a sports fan, I don't understand What keeps the Mets fans going? >> Yes, just choose. Just switch. You don't have to pay anything. Nobody's holding a gun to your head. Just wake up the next morning and say, "I'm a Yankees fan." And [laughter] that's all you got to do. It's not though. It's it's like imagine somebody switching from Democ- Democrat to Republican. That's the same thing. >> No, that's that's ideological. This is the same. How? >> By the way, it's probably more serious. But why? I don't know. You Okay, the Yankees won 27 World Series. That means that's almost like I don't know 20%. That means in any given year you have a 20% chance of your team going the whole way. Right. And and you're in New York. >> would [laughter] you not want to be a part of that? >> No, I'm going to choose the Mets. >> Right. What? Happens to be I'm a Yankee fan. Happens to be. You're a nothing fan. >> [laughter] >> You know nothing. Can you name a Yankee? Go. >> Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. >> Aaron Judge. I was just at a Yankee game. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. Aaron Judge is the only one I know also. Yeah. Could you name another? Uh You're done. Yeah. As I thought. >> There's a Japanese fellow. I don't I I can't >> [laughter] >> I can't Ohtani. >> Ohtani. Oh, Ohtani. Ohtani. is too old, right? Ohtani, we covered him, remember? Remember that whole gambling scandal? >> You thought I didn't have another one in me, but I did. >> that one also cuz we covered it. He meant the gambling scandal where he said, "Oh, it wasn't me. It was It was my He blamed it on his like his bat boy or something. Remember that?" >> in his vicinity. In his orbit. Sure. Sure. Last story in sports news. Uh this was interesting. There's a guy named Uar Bernard. He is the NFL's draft's most explosive prospect. This guy was just drafted into the NFL. He's never played NFL football before. Well, that's usually how it goes. I mean >> never played professional football. What, even college? >> Correct. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> So, they just picked him and he's just like, "You're in." Yeah. So, why did they pick him? Probably cuz he has a rich uncle. Like the same way like Yeshiva. >> He's from a little no-name Nigerian village. Nigeria, bro. Well, that makes sense though because it's like my uncle is a Nigerian prince. >> [laughter] >> Right. Uh so, why did they draft him? Because this guy he's 6'4", uh something like 250 something pounds. He has 6% body fat. Oh, wow. He's just a giant muscle. He's a giant muscle. >> He's a wall. He's a walking wall. And they're saying that the numbers that they're seeing from I I don't know exactly the drills that they do, whatever. They're seeing these insane His performance is just insane. He's a He's a specimen of uh you know He's a freak of nature. >> Yes. Yes. Yes, people are actually saying those exact words. >> Yeah, I mean that's exactly what it is. I mean, if you have 6% body fat, that means you would basically, like you said, you're just all muscle and you're going to mow down anyone or thing in your way. Exactly. So, you just Who found this guy? I don't know. But, what did that conversation even go like? Like, you're in Nigeria and you just see this guy and and and it's like, "Hey, do you want to play Sign right here. Just sign right here. >> football? You want to do professional What is a football? >> Right. That's [laughter] That's his next question, right? And they don't care. They don't even care that he doesn't know >> They're like, "Don't worry. Don't worry. Just just get on the plane. You don't even need to Like, you don't need to throw. Just just come." Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, listen, this is a gift from God. Yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of like when you see like, uh, you know, some of these players that they go and they find like this guy is 7'2" and he's not necessarily a basketball player, but Now he is. Yeah, all he has to do is lift his hand to dunk. [laughter] Yeah. You know? But, the the funny part is is that I wonder if he's going to get hounded by agents. Because, think about it. If the NFL doesn't really want to pay you $50 million, you it's the agents that make that stuff happen. So, if the NFL's coming to you direct, are they lowballing him? Like, are they giving him like a low number? >> [laughter] >> No, we'll give you $100,000. And he's like, "Of course I'll come with you." I could buy 1 million goats. Yeah. Yeah, could be. Could be. >> So, it remains to be seen how much he's going to get paid. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so that's the end of our sports segment, people. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. It was fun for us. Uh, so, uh, coming off of some of the big news, uh, of course, we had the White House Correspondents Dinner, that, you know, attempted assassination, probably an attempted assassination. >> What do you mean probably? No, I'm just saying they're not calling it that because, technically, he didn't get anywhere close and they don't know his full motive. Was he I mean, we do know we have his manifesto. >> manifesto, exactly. [laughter] What's the question? >> Right, but he he was, supposedly, according to the manifesto wanting to kill as many, you know, just people in the government as possible. >> Mhm. Uh but they did ask, I saw that this was a interesting clip. Uh they asked Trump if he was going to be wearing a bulletproof vest from now on, which I think is a great question. Sure. Uh this is what it sounded like. So, this Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward given you have now been shot at? >> I don't know if I can handle looking 20 lbs heavier. >> [laughter] >> These guys are not all that tough. Some of these guys Some of these guys are physical specimens. These some of these guys are trouble. I don't want to be near him. >> [laughter] >> I mean, that's it's he's >> Classic Trump. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, I just wonder if he's equal opportunity. Would he give the same answer to a a guy reporter? >> Yeah. Yeah, I hear what you're saying. >> mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He went really easy on Charlie. >> on him. Exactly. Exactly. >> Interesting. Interesting. But if it was a guy, he probably would have been like, >> [snorts] >> "What a disgusting question. >> [laughter] >> That's the dumbest question I've ever heard." Yeah, that's what he would have done. 100% I I just don't >> surrounded by Secret Service that are wearing bulletproof vests. Like, it's such a redundancy. >> Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It really is a dumb question if you think about it. >> Yeah. Right? >> Yeah. >> Cuz what Like, why would the president have to wear a bulletproof vest? >> No, no, but it's not it's not because I mean, again, we saw it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Until the Secret Service got to him, there By the way, the minute some like that there was a buzz, there was a dude standing right in front of the president. He had no line of sight. No, not true. Not true. It took time. I mean, we covered this. Vance was was taken before he was. So, the Secret Service was not totally on their game, you know? I would have expected someone to come flying out from the side and cover him, which didn't happen. So, bulletproof vest is not so crazy. But to be fair, the guy wasn't in the bull room at all. At all. Correct, but it doesn't matter. So, >> They don't know how many people were involved. They don't know what what the what the danger was. >> not hearing anything about the Secret Service falling short of their obligation here. >> True. And no, yeah, actually we did. >> Did we? >> Yeah, yeah. Many, many news sources said it. Like again, the Secret Service botched it. Yeah. >> Well, they botched the situation security-wise, but not with handling the president. >> president. They all called out the fact that Vance In fact, it was fueling the conspiracy theorists cuz they were saying, "Why was the Secret Service so uh careful about the events, but not about the president?" >> Right. >> people were calling it out. >> right, and we said this last week and Trump said, "I'm the problem. I'm the problem. It's me." >> for them, yeah. >> Right. But you know, it's interesting because he definitely says what's on his mind and he treats people differently. I mean, we have another example here. This is uh he had some of the NASA astronauts from Artemis. >> Yes. They came to the White House. Now, one of the people uh at the event was this guy and there's no easy way to put it. His He's got really big ears. >> [laughter] >> That stick out the side of his head. Now, my heart bled when I saw this. I laughed, but I I imagine that this guy had a rough childhood. Yeah. >> was in school >> And now a rough adulthood thanks to thanks to Trump. He's on national you know, television. >> This is the world stage. >> World stage with the astronauts from the Artemis mission and Trump this is what he says. Are you happy with the Yeah, go ahead. Are you considering uh relocating NASA's headquarters out of DC? States like Florida, Texas, and Ohio have expressed interest. You're going to have to say it differently. Sorry, are you considering relocating NASA's headquarters out of DC once the lease is up? States like Texas, Ohio, and Florida >> Well, the best man to tell you that is the man standing right over here. You heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours. He's He's got great hearing, you know, super. He's got super hearing. >> Trick of the trade, sir. Um and I What's the answer to that? My goodness, they are huge. And listen, this is a perfect case of ear shaming. That really is. >> Which are not two words that I ever thought would come out of my mouth in succession. [laughter] From the president. >> Yeah. >> My heart real No, I really felt bad for him. I mean, it's funny >> bad for him now. Yes. He's He's never living this down. No, but I I I really do wonder at like how he's taking it. Like is anybody interviewing him? >> He was crying. He cried into his pillow that [laughter] night. I hope not. Cuz I really feel bad. Like nobody interviewed him after this be like, "How do you feel now?" I I don't know. It's a good question. I mean, I'm just happy he didn't go home, take some sleeping pills, and go to sleep. >> What's his name? His name's Jared Isaacman. >> Oh, so he's for sure Jewish. >> Is he? Jared Isaacman and you have questions. [laughter] So, he's the administrator of NASA. Let's see, is he Jewish? Well, to make you feel better, he is a uh billionaire. You know that doesn't solve >> It doesn't solve the >> [laughter] >> You know what I'm saying? Money cannot buy you Right, like he walks into a room and like he's like he's a macher, but everyone's like snickering. Yeah. [clears throat] You know what I mean? >> all that money. >> All the money. And it doesn't It doesn't mean anything. >> could have surgery. You could have ear surgery. >> Can you? >> Yes. >> even know if that's on the menu. >> people who've had it. >> Really? Oh, yes. Ear surgery? >> Yes. To do what? To make them smaller? >> Flatten them against the head. >> Hmm. Absolutely. >> Wow. I know more than one who have had that surgery. >> More than one? Who do you hang out with when we're not together? Yeah, there's a lot you don't know about me. >> Apparently. And he is of Jewish descent, which I don't know what to make of that. Of Jewish descent, so what does that mean? >> Well, that's the Wikipedia way of saying that he's just he's Jewish. >> No, we just looked up Sterling and it said his mother and father are Jewish. Right. Here it says he's of of Jewish descent. >> Hmm. Which means he probably has zero, I guess, connection to to Judaism. He's also a pilot, by the way. So, like he's compensating for these ears. >> Yeah. He You know, he finally made his billion and he was like, "Okay, they're not going to make fun of me anymore." >> [laughter] >> No, they're still making fun. Then he became a pilot and he's like, "You know, they're not going to." And now he's in Now I'm in the president. Honey, I'm going to be in the with the president in front of the whole world. His wife is watching and the president takes him to task for his ears. >> Yeah. Never. Listen, now at least he's driven to make more money than Trump. Yeah. Cuz that's the only antidote to this. >> No, he's got to become president. That's really the only thing. >> That's so true. >> for this man. Wow. I would vote for this man because what Trump did really not cool. Not fair, yeah. >> Not cool. >> Agreed. And in the We're going to round it off with these Trump clips. Uh this was Trump talking about Iran and talking about him and the frustration that they have with the lack of leadership in Iran. Listen to this. They have no radar, they have no leaders. Actually, their leaders are all gone to It's part of our problem. We don't know who the hell we're dealing with. >> [laughter] >> They call up, "This is Muhammad so-and-so." And I say, "Are you a leader? We're looking We're looking for a leader." It's the only country in the world no nobody wants to be a leader. You know, they say, They say, "Would anybody like to be president?" And there are no takers. So, this is Muhammad so-and-so. >> [laughter] >> Are you a leader? Sir, it depends what you consider a leader. Uh tell us. I coach football on the weekend for the kids. They consider me big leader. That's a qual- That's a big qualification. We should talk. You know, we can talk Ormuz. Yeah. We can talk about hummus. You probably very familiar with Sabra, but that's not uh Uh It's not there. Oh, it's there. >> [laughter] >> It's there. Just go back to the last episode. Okay, rounding out the the Iran talk, we'll just go through it quickly. Uh so, they they started shooting missiles again at the UAE. Yes, I saw that. >> I saw that. Most of them intercepted, but they did hit a port. >> Yeah. Yeah. So that's pretty serious. And now all the surrounding countries are are pretty upset. >> Yeah. Like they keep falling out of favor, but people need to realize that it's not a centralized Iran. It's IRGC just doing whatever they want. >> Yeah, well, whoever's in charge today will decide, "Well, let's just we're going to bomb UAE." Fad hon, I just tasted Dubai chocolate. Let us bomb them. >> [laughter] >> That's Dubai, by the way. This is the United Arab Emirates. Different country. Yes. Different country. >> But the same vicinity. Okay. It is. It is. Uh they were asking, you know, they're asking the administration, "Well, is this a a breach of the ceasefire?" And Trump and Hegseth are both like, "No, not exactly." They clearly do not want to engage right now >> Yeah, I don't think they I don't think they want to waste more ammunition. Either that or uh the the war is quite unpopular. Mhm. And so they're, you know, that the blockade is going to strangle them economically. So they I think they want to give it a chance to to do its thing. Well, Trump is also saying that this is going to be done in 3 to 4 weeks. Right. But what is the forecast? Nobody knows. Yeah. Nobody knows. But what does Trump want? >> tells everybody that nobody knows except him. But except him. And they asked him they asked him, I don't have the clip on hand, but they asked him about, "Well, are you going to attack?" And he did say, "Well, that's a dumb question. Why would I tell a reporter [laughter] why would I tell a reporter what I was going to Nobody's going to know what I'm going to do." He keeps saying that. Yes. >> And by the way, as far as Trump's uh you know, mental state in terms of why he went into this war, as we know, the anti-Semites keep saying that this was all Bibi Netanyahu, Bibi Netanyahu, Bibi Netanyahu. Uh a reporter had the guts to ask Hegseth this. I mean, they they've been asking, but again, they don't stop. Hegseth shot it down. I got a clip for you. Let me hear it. >> Here it is. Uh in recent weeks, both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's head of Mossad have stated their intent not to cease uh combat with the Iranians. Um Netanyahu put this on Twitter. Israel's head of Mossad said Israel's goals are not finished until the Iranian government collapses. And so they're referring to the government that President Trump has brokered a ceasefire with and is working on a lasting peace in the region with. And so that's, you know, something many Americans, especially American farmers, are hoping he does get to a lasting peace. And so if President Trump is successful in that and the Israelis are explicitly stating their intent to continue fighting at a later date, how can you ensure America doesn't get roped back into a war if that comes? And secondly, uh with Netanyahu comfortable tweeting something like that out, and also Netanyahu has continued bombing Lebanon despite President Trump explicitly telling him not >> is based on the false premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyahu to any of these actions. And I'm That's where you're going. Just to be clear, President Trump has led at every step of this based on his view of American interest in America first. And we're grateful that Israelis have been very capable partners at many steps of this. And they may have some objectives that times that are slightly different than ours. But there's only one hand on the wheel ultimately directing this, whether it's Project Freedom or previously Operation Epic Fury, and it's President Trump. So we're grateful for their input, their insights, the existential nature of the threat they face from an Iranian bomb, the capabilities that they can bring to that. But ultimately, the coordination will happen with the leadership of President Trump. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Shot it down. I mean, honestly, it was a good question. Yeah. It was a It was a thought-out question. >> a thought-out question, but >> And then he just shut it right down. >> He shut it right down. >> Yeah. Uh so, we're going to see. We're going to see where that goes. Uh let's move on. >> want to know what Trump wants to happen. What does he want? He just wants the Iranians to back down. I mean, look Well, we know we know what the demands are. He already rejected their their rebuttal. They they He proposed, they came back with what they're willing to offer, and we We know exactly the details, but Trump said it's not acceptable. >> Yeah, but last week we reported that they have a couple days before their oil infrastructure completely implodes. >> Yeah, apparently it hasn't happened yet. >> [laughter] >> I'm just repeating what the president's saying. You can't, you know, nothing we can do. Uh also in the bonus we covered the King Charles visit. Yes. >> And if you don't know, we we even played some clips. If you don't know what we're talking about, that means you're not a subscriber. So you know what to do. Go to kittysuppodcast.com, click on the become a subscriber, and subscribe so that you could have access to our extended episodes cuz they're even longer than these episodes. They're ad-free and they're a lot of fun and you're missing out. >> Yeah, full details on our website. But one thing that we will say that we didn't say in the bonus is that King Charles gifted Trump a bell from the HMS Trump Really? >> submarine from World War II. Wait, wait, wait, what? How is there a World War II submarine named Trump? >> He's a time traveler. You didn't know that? I mean, what other >> theory [laughter] that he's a time traveler. What other explanation is there? >> is the word Trump is a word in the English language as well. It was with nothing to do with him. But ironically it was called the HMS Trump and so they gifted him this bell, which I think was pretty cool. Yeah, I mean >> from a submarine World War II. >> It's pretty cool to get any gift from the king. Yeah. Right? >> Yeah. He also said that he's going to be removing the tariffs on Scotch whiskey. >> Yes, I saw that as well. Are prices going to come down? Yeah. Really? >> Yeah, they're going to come down. Uh let's jump into some of the other stories. Big news, Spirit Airlines. >> Yeah, all of shalom. Yeah, what in the world Like this is hitting the Jewish world hard. Yeah, of course, listen, we have said this before. I I love a $9 fare. I'm a Jew, of course, but if it's going to put you out of business and I'm going to have to go get a full fare ticket at Delta, I'm not, you know, you're not doing the right thing. Yeah, agreed. But millions, not millions, but thousands of people laid off of work. And what about the people that were like somewhere traveling and all of a sudden >> [laughter] >> your return flight is no good. >> people were in the airport and it was just like oh, we're done. They just pulled the plug. >> pulled the [laughter] plug. That's That's basically what happened. Like you should probably wind down. Sunset is the right term. They should have sunsetted the airline. >> Yeah, this is just yet another thing for me to worry about. [laughter] No, it's not a worry. It's just so typical Spirit. You know what I'm saying? It's like we're all out. We're just done. We're finished. They like today we're just not working. >> Bye-bye. We're gone. >> Exactly. But I did hear that there's a movement uh for like this money being raised to bail out Spirit from like regular people. >> that that was went viral. I don't think it's a real thing. But it wouldn't be It wouldn't be so crazy because you know, Delta is >> Imagine the people buy out an airline. Well, that happened. That's Delta. What does that mean? >> Delta is owned by the employees. Really? >> Yeah. So they're controlling those prices? And they're cool with it? >> the owners. Yeah, yeah. Cuz I don't like Delta's not like great price. No, but they're pretty great. We've been praising Delta. >> Delta. I know. >> They've been the best. >> But they've again, they're not the cheapest ticket on the uh Who says that that's their goal? Their goal is profitability. True, but again, I guess the the employees own it and they want to make money. >> Exactly. See, if if if if there was a group like a GoFundMe that would just uh buy Spirit and just keep the fares at cost. We're not making money. We're just here to serve the people. >> Very well socialist of you, Tucker. No, but look >> Talking like Tucker now. He Listen. Cuz he he's basically a socialist. >> But all the We should have one socialist airline. Should we not? >> [laughter] >> Why? Government-run grocery stores? >> no. What's going to happen if there's one airline that is socialist? For the people. Do you know of any socialist anything that's been run that That that worked and has worked? >> I think we should put Mumdani at the head of this. [laughter] And see what he can make out of spirit. >> Dude, if we could get him out of New York by doing that, I'm all for it. >> Mhm. The other big news was United Airlines flight that was landing at Newark Liberty and uh it clipped a a light pole and a and a truck. It clipped the actual truck. >> Yeah, and we have I mean there's video of it, not much to hear. Uh but that to me is insane. They have dash cam video from the guy's truck from the worker's truck truck. The plane clipped him. Uh thankfully nobody was hurt including the driver. I mean it looks bad. Which is crazy. >> Yeah, he's okay. >> And he's just singing along to a song. You know what I'm saying? I mean look, it is Sfera. Maybe he shouldn't be. Well, he doesn't I mean he's African-American. I don't know if he's Jewish, he might be. He might be. >> You never know. >> He might be. >> You never know. But you know, getting clipped by an airplane is just That was not on his bingo card. >> It's It's craziest thing I've ever heard. >> Honey, how was your day? >> [laughter] >> Like imagine the phone call cuz he was okay. And he's calling from a hospital bed or hospital room. He's like, "Hon, something happened. I'm okay." Did you get into an accident? Did you get Kind of. >> You could say that. >> But it wasn't my fault. What did the other car do this time? It wasn't a car. Oh, it was a plane. >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yet another thing to worry about. Well, if you're a truck driver. Yes. You know what I'm saying? This is not This is not like our typical airline story where you have a new fear unlocked. True. >> You know what I'm saying? This is if you're driving a semi and you're a truck driver, this is you know, you have [laughter] something else to worry about. I think we're free and clear. >> No, not true because what they said was is that the pilots were way too low. Yeah, but they would never have hit a car and that's all we drive is cars. They hit a semi like a big trailer tractor trailer. >> do you believe I mean the difference between a a a truck and a car is what? 10 ft? Uh those are 10 important ft. Okay, but he was low enough to do this. He couldn't be 10 ft lower? Mhm. It's not so crazy. >> I don't know. >> It's not outside the realm of possibility. I guess. Okay, uh we've just mentioned Tucker. Uh so, Tucker is Listen, we are not fans of the New York Times here. No. We've said it many, many times. >> You have urged people to cancel their subscriptions. >> truly terrible. >> Yeah. But in this case, Yeah. >> got to give the New York Times. They brought it. They brought it. They did a Tucker interview. Uh if you were to ask Meghan Kelly, she says the interview was amazing and Tucker destroyed them. And yet, >> [laughter] >> he is the laughingstock of the world. We have a few clips. We're going to share them. First clip. The clips are pretty self-explanatory. I'm going to play the clip. Uh in this first clip, in the middle of it, a clip is going to be played of Tucker. That wasn't actually played to him. Right. But uh you'll get you'll get the idea of what went on. Here's the first one. What I was saying, which is you cannot mock other people's gods and put yourself in their place, period. That is a deal killer for me. That's worse than the war with Iran, in my opinion. Yeah, but I asked because, you know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, "Maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book." And then, on a recent show, you went further saying, "Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist?" I actually did not say could this be the Antichrist. Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows? Um I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips because I'm not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is, if there's just one I I actually tried to understand it. Um I may have said some are asking that. I'm not weighing in on that because I don't understand it. And just to be totally >> No, and revolutions obviously the end Those words never left my lips. >> [laughter] >> I mean, like, does he really not know? Or is he lying? What's the story here? >> That's the question. That's the question. Does he not know? I think he does know. I think he got caught and he just he had to wing it. He just he had to wing it. There's nothing he could do. >> Right. >> Uh, next clip. Listen to this one. is not fine is the truth. So, again, long-winded answer to a short question, but I the future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent on the basis of thwarted economic opportunity. >> You said in our previous interview, the future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent on the basis of thwarted economic opportunity. What? >> I certainly didn't mean to endorse violence. I can't imagine I would ever I would never say that intentionally. I'm amazed that you have a tape of me saying that, and I just want to disavow it. So, in that clip, the interviewer, who is Lulu Garcia, by the way, Thank you. um, played the clip back to Tucker so that he can hear in his own words, and then he just, I guess, disavows it? >> Yeah, he he got caught. There's nothing he could do. Again, does he even, like, is he just spewing whatever pops into his brain? Or is it calculated and he just never expected because he had to know that when the New York Times, they're going to try to dig up something, try to get you. Yeah. And he just didn't know. Very strange. Uh, here's another one. Oh, J.D. has been subject to n- this is well known, but I'll just confirm it, non-stop treachery from people on the neo-conservative side. >> these people? >> around Marco Rubio. And they have been totally against J.D. Vance the very beginning. Who Who do you mean specifically? You know, I don't know is the real answer. I don't know. You're accusing people of treachery, so I'm wondering >> Well, I know there's been a lot of treachery, for sure. And I know they've been They were so mad about J.D. getting that job. I mean, They, who's they? Within the White House? I don't You know, I don't know the answer to that. I've never worked there. So, like, if you don't work there, you can say you you know, you can say what you think you know, but it's hard to really know. This is me looking skeptical. Yeah, well, no, but that's just me being honest. Like, I don't really know. Great. [laughter] Great response. Yeah, she really brought the heat in here. >> Yeah. And you know, he's saying that he He never worked in the White House. You know who did? Buckley. Oh, yes. >> So, you know, you do have some information. You don't have zero information. >> it. Exactly. >> Bring the receipts. Name it. Uh last one, this one's just great. Listen to it. Instead, you know, there were a lot of cowardly people, as there always are, and Trump engenders cowardice in the people around him through intimidation. And there is a kind of quality that he has that's spellbinding, and I think it probably literally is a spell. Uh and the effect is to weaken people around him and make them more compliant and more confused. And I I've experienced this myself. You spend a day with Trump, and sort of like, you're in this kind of dreamland. It's like smoking hash or something. It's interesting. Very interesting. And there may be a supernatural component to it. I'm not a theologian. But I It's real, and anyone who's been around him can tell you it's real. Like, why does he have [laughter] to go there? He's insane. >> No, he I know. He's psycho. >> Listen, I think he's right about this. Oh, come on. >> No, no, no. I think that >> He's talking about supernatural Trump has a supernatural way to put spells on people. >> is ridiculous. [laughter] Okay. Thank you. >> But But he's correct that people become Trump, he's a charmer. Yes. Okay. So, he has a way of making you agree with him, of making him of of making you see his vision in such a a way that you're convinced. So, yeah, Tucker I I suppose in a foolish way he's saying it's an actual spell. It's It's It's It's supernatural. I'm not a theologian. I did get attacked by demons. That was real, right? This is the same guy who says he was attacked by demons. >> But that's my point. >> do to his brain? >> a great point, but he just loses it when he goes bonkers. >> Cuz he's cuz he's bonkers. >> Yeah, [snorts] I guess so. But you know He's nuts. we can make fun of him all we want, but this is just catapulting him forward. And you know, he's in the national conversation. You know what I'm saying? This gives him >> Yes, that's the that's the best part. >> more exposure than he already had. Which is truly significant. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. You're 100% right. Uh a lot more to get to. >> So mate, just for him though, for Tucker this is a complete win. In as much as he looks like a complete idiot on the world stage, this for him in a business sense, this is an absolute win. There's no such thing as bad press. Exactly. >> Yeah. Tons more to get to. Tons more to get to. We don't have the time. I do want to do want to bring this up because I'm kind of thinking maybe I have an opportunity to use some of my skills, well very few of them, but here is a clip. These are people at the Belgian annual European seagull screeching championship. >> Yes, I actually I [laughter] actually saw this. >> this? >> I did. >> Okay, wait. So let me play it. Let me play it. Here it is. I found it hilarious that it was one competition and a thing that I was doing but was very weird. I didn't know about it so I just thought um Huh? That third guy, he was hitting it out of the park. I had no idea that he was human. >> [laughter] >> Like before I I saw it and I just heard it and I was like, wait, what? And then you see his face and he's actually doing it. Like this is a disturbing talent. >> [laughter] >> Why is there a seagull screeching championship? Why? I don't I don't I can't >> understand it, but there there's crazy things in this world. Okay, but I could do some sounds. I mean you know seagull? I I could Can you compete here? >> our fans know that I do Elmo, right? I I do Elmo, I've done Cookie Monster, which you didn't appreciate so much. I could do I could do crickets. I could do cricket sound. You want to you want to do it for everyone? Do you want me to? I personally no, but it's not up [laughter] to me. Okay, yeah, I'll do it. Go for it. >> If you push me, I'll do it. >> Do it. >> Push me, push me. Just just do it. Okay, here it is. Okay, so I think that's the a sound of cicadas. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. >> Not bad, right? >> Not terrible. Could I go to the championship with that? >> I think you need work. >> Oh. Like we could practice. We can practice and you can get I'm sure there's a cicada championship somewhere It's got to be. This seems like it's in Norway or some like country like that. >> this is in Belgium, so you know, I'll take a trip. Yeah. If you'll feel if my my listeners will sponsor me. >> [laughter] >> You know what I mean? This will be for the subscribers because they're they're the ones that are sponsoring you. Yes. Or maybe an Elmo competition. I can do that. I can do a crow. Okay, let's let's hear that. Huh? Not bad. Not terrible. Yeah? Not terrible. I I have to admit I've been trying seagull. I've been I've been working on [laughter] it. I've been working on it. Cuz now I know Look, I don't know if the other ones exist. I know the seagull championship exists. Yeah. If I can sneak into that one, you know, I'm golden. Yeah, but the truth is if you win, right, then everybody's going to know who you are. >> That's >> No. Oh oh yeah, I guess they would. >> You know what I mean? I was going to say I don't have to, you know, make any connection. >> No, the first from guy that they see at the seagull competition, they're going to know. >> fattest, bald guy. [laughter] One of these things is not like the other. >> believe this he won, but here he is, your champion, ladies and gentlemen. >> [laughter] >> Uh Okay, so that is all the time we have for this episode.
