Speaker 3 (01:02):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Well, Trump dropped the bomb
that is nominating Matt Gates for US Attorney General yesterday.
People continue to run around with their heads on fire
about this pick. Today, Kevin McCarthy saying, there's no way
(01:23):
this is going to pass.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Muster in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
That's where we start swamp watching. The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Man, Make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Bad Noos.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Hey, Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp in so many ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I have a batch of malarkey.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Boy said drain the swamp.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I said, Oh that's so.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You know the thing.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
Well, in all of the preview articles about potential attorneys general,
Matt Gates's name appeared zero times checked joining us to
talk more about this. The shock and awful that was
described earlier in Washington, d C. Joe Khalil from News
Nation and Joe this name, this Matt Gates as Attorney General.
(02:18):
It seems like the farther away we get from the announcement,
the less likely it is that he would ever be
confirmed to head up the Department of Justice.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah. And I think the reason that there was such
shock because there was genuine surprise in this thought that
Donald Trump would never name somebody that would have such
an uphill climb to get approved. And that seems to
be the case. I've been walking around today talking to
mostly Republican senators. Some have said, look, Trump is entitled
(02:51):
to nominate whoever he wants, and you know, Matt Gates
would be someone who they say might drastically change the
DOJ in a way they'd like to see it changed.
But the majority of Senators who have spoken to privately
and some publicly in front of our cameras, even Republicans,
have said they do have serious concerns. If you're not
familiar with Matt Gates, he has made quite a lot
(03:14):
of enemies, not just Democrats, but Republican enemies. He was
crucial in removing former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But the bigger
thing that's hanging over his head are these very serious
allegations that he may have had sex with a minor.
These are just allegations. He hasn't been charged with this,
(03:37):
and that he may have paid for the sex and
also paid to move for across state lines, which adds
a human trafficking element criminally to those allegations. The House
Ethics Committee has been looking into this for about two
years and they were set to release a report on
it Friday, but Matt Gates resigned yesterday after he got nominated.
(03:59):
So it's on clear whether that report is going to
come down or not. All of that's hanging over it
and sort of driving all this.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What are the chances that they knew something was going
to be huge in that report, something in that report
was going to be scathing, and to avoid that report
nominating him.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Well, that is sort of the speculation actually here. And
you know the reason we got for Mattate's resignation was
Speaker Mike Johnson said, if he resigns now, I can
replace him more quickly because the House Republican majority that
they just won is very small. Losing three Republicans to
Trump's cabinet is going to matter so Speaker Johnson said, no,
(04:42):
he resigned so that I can replace him quickly. But
there's a lot of speculation that they just didn't want
that report to get out. Now, I'm not sure that
it implicates anyone other than Matt Gates, you know, in
whatever alleged criminality is going on, but you know that
there is some speculation there. So and then what.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Where does that report go? What happens to it? And
he is resigned, but that doesn't that doesn't follow him,
So what happens to that?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And is there any chance that that leaks out?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
So there is a I think strong chance that it
leaks out. By the by the rules of the House
Ethics Committee, by the letter of the law, the minute
he resigned yesterday, they no longer have any jurisdiction over
him because he's not a member of the House. So
by the rules, that report should just remain dormant and
not released in private. However, what I've heard is if
(05:38):
Matt Gates is actually the nominee and the Senate has
to review him and vote on him, they often for
every nominee will get classified background checks, They'll get classified
briefings on the person they're going to vote for. I imagine
that report would make its way over to the Senate
if senators demand in a classified setting to see it,
(06:01):
because they've got to vote on this person, and you know,
whether he's going to be the top attorney in the
United States. Certainly alleged criminality matters in that sense.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, I'm do we know.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Have there been vocal senators in Republican senators who have
said there is no chance Matt Gates gets in.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Has anybody attached their name to that sentiment.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
No one has said it that explicitly. But I talked
to Lisa Rakowski this morning on camera. She told me
when she heard the news, she was not sure whether
it was serious or whether it was a joke. You know,
we've heard others like Susan Collins stay on the record,
you know, what do you think about maggot says you
have a chance to get through. She said something to
(06:46):
the effect of every nominee is going to get a
very strong vetting and of their character and their person
and all their history, so you have to sort of
read between the lines. No one has flat out said
I'm not voting for the guy, even know, but there
had been others who who said things like, are you serious.
You know, I'm background who've told us not attaching their
(07:08):
names to it, there's virtually no chance that he gets through.
I haven't seen anyone on the record put their name
on that, but that that is the sentiment that I'm
hearing from many privately.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Joe Khalil News Nation, excellent reporting, per usual, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Thank you guys, happy to do it.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The more I think about that, the more I think
that's exactly what it was, that.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Trump protect him from the protect.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Him from the report as a thank you for the loyalty.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Yeah, because I don't know what the policy is if
he resigns before I mean the report, does it just die?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Die?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Tech guys, And he brought up Joe brought up a
good point.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
What else is in that report?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Who else is Trump protecting, even if they're just tangentially
connected to Matt Gates.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
So when the name was announced yesterday, when Matt Gates's
name was announced as an attorney general a nominee, Max Miller,
a Republican out of Ohio, said most people in there
in the House are giddy about it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Get him out of here.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
He said, Trump had plenty of other good options for nominees,
but went with Gates to a reward his loyalty, and
before the resignation was announced, this Congressman, Max Miller, suggested
that if the Senate hearings on Earth knew and convincing
evidence that the misconduct allegations against Gates were true, that
everybody in the House would vote to expel him, much
like they did with George Santos earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Or late last year. Sorry, I mean, there's no love
lost this.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
It may just be a way of getting rid of
him and he gets to keep his clean slate.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
A lot of people believe that this guy's a clown.
Oh yeah, even members of the House who have been
working with him. So I wanted to I read to
you this piece during the commercial break, but I want
to share with everybody. I was reading from the New
York Times about Max Miller, this congressman out of Ohio,
who said that they were giddy at the thought of
getting Matt Gates out of the House of Representatives, that
(09:01):
he doesn't have a whole lot of fans there. He
said that he was surprised that Matt Gates would even
agree to this Attorney general nomination. Because of the scrutiny
that comes with that, the investigation, the confirmation hearings, the
rigorous and invasive background checks. And his quote was, I'm
(09:22):
surprised that Matt would do this to himself. I want
to go get a big bag of popcorn and pull
up a front row seat to that show.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Is there a world in which he was named as
the nominee for AG so that this ethics report, which
was in its final stages, does not come out, never
sees the light of day, and that he removes himself
as the nominee before they can dig into his background check.
And then he lands a lucrative job somewhere where he
(09:51):
takes all the names connected with him and hides them forever.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
He does have a law degree, he becomes a lawyer
for the Trump organization or the Trump founda.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I think Trump Foundation is now defunct.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
But but yes, I mean there is that possible world
where this is a ploy to protect him from whatever
is in that ethics report.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, that sounds like it is the most likely scenario.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
But as Joe Khalil pointed out, this doesn't necessarily mean
that it's it's it disappears.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, But I do think it is predicated on what
other names are in that report, even if, like I said,
even they're just in Gates's orbit. Yeah, I mean, how
many people are they protecting with sand bag in this thing?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
From the Kamala Harris file. One of the stories that
came out in the last couple of weeks was how
much money that Harris campaign was able to bring in.
That in a matter of months it cossed a billion
dollars in fundraising and.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They blew through it to the point of being in debt.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Yeah, now a week since she conceded the contest, not
only has they run out of that billion, they're still
asking for more. And in fact, a text message that
went out just two days ago, a week after the election,
rights or says high team, it's Kamala. The election isn't
(11:13):
what we wanted, but I will never give give up
the fight. And right now there are still a number
of critical races across the country that are either too
close to call or within the margin of recounts or
certain legal challenges. So they said that the money would
eventually flow to the DNC to help with those efforts
like state recounts or curing the ballots, etc. But one
(11:35):
of the officials acknowledged that there is some debt, but
didn't really downplay I'm sorry, but did downplay the significance
of it, saying it's not going to be difficult to
pay off by the year's end, and also said that
given the results of the election, it would have been
worse to have lost while sitting on a pile of
unspent cash.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
What a weird spin.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
No, no, no, we lost just the right way so
that we could, We could lose with a certain amount
of debt.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
We wasted enough money to care.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
One of the great wins from not great win, but
one of the great digs from former President Trump at
the Harris campaign is Hey, do you guys need a loan? Like,
We'll help you cover the costs of whatever it is
that you need.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
We wouldn't want them to go into any more debt.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Than I've already listen to this one. Elon Musk's new
Department of Government Efficiency is calling for volunteers. They want
people to send in their resumes via x direct message.
Doze wants to recruit quoting here super high IQ small
(12:51):
government revolutionaries willing to work eighty plus hours per week
on unglamorous cost cutting, then added with a post from
his personal X account that this work would be unpaid.
He wrote, Indeed, this will be tedious work with lots
of enemies, and compensation is zero.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
What a great deal, laughing emoji.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Well, this is the same pitch, similar to the same
pitch that he told employees of X. Soon after he
bought the company Twitter, he sent an email to staff
asking them to commit to being hardcore and work long
hours at high intensity, or leave the company with severage
severance package. He estimated that about eighty percent of Twitter
(13:43):
left the company shortly after.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Wow, I've been seeing a lot more about that Blue Sky.
Also more and more people jumping from Twitter to go
to Blue Sky?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Are you is trying?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that like a playoff of old Twitter with the
blue sky the clouds?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Remember that wasn't that their thing?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I mean they had a bird?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Am I No, I don't need anything else, okay. Advance
Auto Parts closing more than seven hundred locations nationwide. Closure's
part of a restructuring plan. Roughly five hundred corporate stores
two hundred independently owned stores will close by mid twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Called out here for a second, I went get this right,
what'd you do?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Somebody misheard me?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
And is this about the Macax?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
No, not that one.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Not about the Bronies either, But it was about I
made a comment that Matt Gates might become a lawyer
for the Trump Organization, and then I said, or the
Trump Foundation.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
But I think the Trump Foundation doesn't exist any.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Gary just threw out a statement kind of like as
a Oh, by the way, besides, the Trump Organization is
now defunct.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Why is that, Gary?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Why did they get forced to close down when Donald
Trump won? What did they do that the Department of
Justice made them close? Can you let us know please?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Idiot?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Okay, wow, it was the Trump Foundation, and yes, it
was dissolved by court order in twenty eighteen after various
legal violations came to light.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Idiot, idiot, that's fun.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
It's not like I said it. Did I say it incorrectly?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I said, think you were.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Making a major point. It was kind of a throwaway aside.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You're an idiot.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
See how it feels you've actually kind of really took
ownership of that one.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Did that feel good for you?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I mean I didn't, well that I'm an idiot? Oh
that part?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Yeah, yeah, it felt funny on my tongue.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
When location sharing is making us miserable. Story in the
Washington Post today about how it is time to say
I know that this twenty four to seven location sharing
has invaded our friendships, our romances.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Is it too late to go back?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Where is he going? I'm sorry, I'm just how are
you tracked checking my son?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
He is that? Oh? Okay, yes, I know where he's going.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Stargarden munch.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ashley Reggie is twenty six, lives in Washington State, had
a friendship go bad after location sharing spiraled out of control,
with both parties checking the other's location dozens of times
a day. I had to tell her, Ashley says, No,
I actually don't want to know where you are, and
(16:46):
I don't want you to know where I am. I
want to go up back to how we were before.
Or if you wanted to know where someone was, you
would have to actually ask them.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It's a weird.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
It's a weird thing, and we've talked about it many
times before. If you have kids and you kind of
want to keep an eye on where they are, or
just double check and see if they're sneaky enough to
leave their phone somewhere where they're not supposed to be
kind of thing. You have to get into the habit
or you have to get out of the habit of
(17:16):
constantly checking location because it breeds distrust.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I for me, it's just a hard no for
anyone to know where I am.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
It creeps me out.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Not that anyone cares where I am or would check
or whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Your husband cares where you are.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I don't think so. I don't think you would check.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Here's where you are. That's different, but again it's different.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But again problem saying no. I just don't like the
idea of anybody. I like my freedom, my autonomy. I
like to go where I want to go and nobody
know about it, right, Like, that's one of the beauties
of when you get an adult, being an adult, or even
when you get your first driver's license at sixteen and
getting in a car and my parents don't know where
(18:01):
I'm going. They don't know if I'm gonna get a
left at the stop later, if I'm gonna take a right,
And it's just like, I love that feeling of freedom,
and if somebody constantly knows where I am, I feel
like I'm in communist China.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
But you also you just opened your phone and didn't
know if anybody was checking your location or had access.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
To your location.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Right, Well, ignorance is bliss in that regard. I had
no idea. It turns out one of my friends was
tracking me.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Well, and I'm not sure if it meant that she
was tracking you or you were tracking her, although I
think it does have to work both ways.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, there was a thing where it said turn off
my location sharing, and I turned that off, yeah, promptly.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Not that I care if she tracks.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Me, but there this has come up and I think that,
I mean you would probably know as well as I
do that the younger people in their relationships, this is
a thing like this is it's a moment in a
relationship where you shared the polibry.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
The password.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Remember we know if Yeah, we first all started getting
cell phones and that was the conversation of do you
share your password with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or whatever?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And now it's location interesting.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
And it came up when I have a a I
know someone I created her and she had the issue
of when you break up with somebody or when you
start the relationship, at what point do you share location?
Oh man, I was kind of see to me that
(19:33):
it's neutral on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That's almost like controlling behavior.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I hate that, right, Well, it can definitely be used
for that, and that was the concern.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
As I was, I think you don't share that. Guy.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
I was generally neutral about it, but said, you can
never be forced into sharing your local do not do
not fall for that. But if you're trusting enough and
you feel comfortable enough doing that, then I mean, you,
why can't.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You just shoot a text? Where are you at?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I'm at the home depot? Hard If you're not at
the home depot, you big liar pants.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Well then if you're trying to catch someone in something,
then you've got a whole other.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Hostage, right, which which became the discussion like, if there's
ever any point where you have to lie about your location,
you should not be.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You should not be sharing your location with that person,
whoever it is.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You should not be in a relationship with that person.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
But it's I mean, this is a weird thing.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
I have this because I've got you know, it's my wife,
my son, and my daughter, and the four of us
share each other's location.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Both my son and my daughter have all kinds.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Of people that they know the locations of of close
friends of theirs that they have in their list of people.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
But I don't have anybody outside of those three.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
And then like, at what point in your day do
you like go to the location place on your phone
or whatever it is and look at where people are.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's kind of weird, like all the.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
People you you share with on one like in one matter,
I mean, if if you can, if I can see
my daughter in Texas, my son on the freeway, and
my wife at home right now, But that's I mean,
I don't know where.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I don't know where he's I kind of have an
idea of where he's going, but I don't know specifically
Star Garten.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Star Garden's got a nice Thursday lunch special, which exit
he just passed, But I mean it's left.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
In the right. Stages are closed down until two, but.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Well they have to clean them, right, Oh I did?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Did?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I didn't play this for you yet? Mark Zuckerberg is
a musician.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Did you know that? No? Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg apparently picks
up the acoustic guitar every once in a while.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Is this about booty shaking that booty?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What was that line from the song yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I don't know bouncing booty, bouncing off my bouncing off
my booty, You bouncing on my booty, somebody's booty bouncing
something somewhere.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Find it.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I don't know why you don't have it at the ready.
It's one of our new favorite things.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I don't have that at the ready. It's one of
our new favorite things.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I thought you put it on the special aboard.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I did not put it on.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Wow, Well it's hateful.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
It's not hateful, it's just.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Didn't know you were such a homophobe.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't know where it was.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You don't know where it went. You lost it forever.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I don't think I lost it forever. You don't have
to be so angry.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Okay, anyway, sorry, Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Mark Zuckerberg did a cover of te Pain.
Speaker 4 (22:24):

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah? Well, anyway, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's the worst thing I've heard this week that makes
the Matt Gates nomination sparkle Social Studies is a five
part series fa premiering Friday at the Telluride Film Festival
in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
It will be arriving on FX.
Speaker 3 (23:28):

life in Los Angeles.

She has done really well in this genre.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
She was the one behind The Queen of Versailles, the
King Maker, the long chronicled Beauty, wealth and Power, and
the damaging toll of excess.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Lauren Greenfield is now She's got two kids, two boys actually,

very awkward questions of her boys about what life is

a turbocharged, steroid riddled And I don't mean that, I
(24:22):
mean that as sort of a euphemism, but it's so
much more than it was when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I feel like kids are isolating themselves more and maybe
that's because maybe that's why they're isolating.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
This question, just to turn it all off.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Probably.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The series was largely filmed in Los Angeles, features teens
from ten schools, including Pacific Palisades, LA and Hamilton High Schools.
She shot roughly twelve hundred hours of footage over one
hundred and fifty days, covering the twenty twenty one to
twenty two school year and some subsequent months. She also
recorded the teen's phone and so social media use, so.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
That I think is an interesting aspect.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
But when asked about what goes on, I mean, it's
it's it's a reality. It's a documentary. So you get
to see them, she says, in three different elements. Number one,
the verite, you just get to see them sort of
in their lives. Sometimes they're you know, they're posturing, or
they're presenting. There's sometimes they're with friends, sometimes they're lying.
The interviews where it's just one on one, they break
(25:26):
the fourth wall and said that they're very honest.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And then the third perspective.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Is a group situation where it's just her recording their
conversations between each other and said it's kind of almost
like a therapy session for the most part. But think
about that, think about the idea that she was also
able to record them using their phones.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
She said that with fictional depictions of teen life, you
know Euphoria thirteen, Beverly Hills nine O two one zero,
you know that that's the extreme.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
It's not really like that for teens.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
But when she says she was doing feedback screening, she
showed a filmmaker, Nicole Holofencer, the first episode and after
Cole the filmmaker saw the first episode, she said, this
is a horror movie.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's not a horror movie for kids, but it would
be a horror movie for parents. There's one part where
one of the kid's mom says, I don't want to
go in my kids TikTok?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
What that you?
Speaker 7 (26:36):
That should be a sign you don't want to because
you're afraid what you're going to see. That's exactly why
you should be all up in that business.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
That's right. You have to pay attention. And then you've
put your head in the sand.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
You've got the parents also dealing with their own social
media use and exposure and what they're modeling for their
kids in terms of how they react to it. What
can it does? A social media post then ruin the
rest of your day, and you're modeling that behavior for
your own kid to allow them to, you know, be
held hostage by their social media accounts oh Beaver.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Moons gott be.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I mean, what makes the twelve o'clock hour bigger than
a beaver Moon.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
How about to pay a tickets to the Chargers game
coming up? We can give those away too.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Well, Trump dropped the bomb
that is nominating Matt Gates for US Attorney General yesterday.
People continue to run around with their heads on fire
about this pick. Today, Kevin McCarthy saying, there's no way
(01:23):
this is going to pass.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Muster in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
That's where we start swamp watching. The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Man, Make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Bad Noos.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Hey, Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp in so many ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I have a batch of malarkey.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Boy said drain the swamp.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I said, Oh that's so.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You know the thing.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
Well, in all of the preview articles about potential attorneys general,
Matt Gates's name appeared zero times checked joining us to
talk more about this. The shock and awful that was
described earlier in Washington, d C. Joe Khalil from News
Nation and Joe this name, this Matt Gates as Attorney General.
(02:18):
It seems like the farther away we get from the announcement,
the less likely it is that he would ever be
confirmed to head up the Department of Justice.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah. And I think the reason that there was such
shock because there was genuine surprise in this thought that
Donald Trump would never name somebody that would have such
an uphill climb to get approved. And that seems to
be the case. I've been walking around today talking to
mostly Republican senators. Some have said, look, Trump is entitled
(02:51):
to nominate whoever he wants, and you know, Matt Gates
would be someone who they say might drastically change the
DOJ in a way they'd like to see it changed.
But the majority of Senators who have spoken to privately
and some publicly in front of our cameras, even Republicans,
have said they do have serious concerns. If you're not
familiar with Matt Gates, he has made quite a lot
(03:14):
of enemies, not just Democrats, but Republican enemies. He was
crucial in removing former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But the bigger
thing that's hanging over his head are these very serious
allegations that he may have had sex with a minor.
These are just allegations. He hasn't been charged with this,
(03:37):
and that he may have paid for the sex and
also paid to move for across state lines, which adds
a human trafficking element criminally to those allegations. The House
Ethics Committee has been looking into this for about two
years and they were set to release a report on
it Friday, but Matt Gates resigned yesterday after he got nominated.
(03:59):
So it's on clear whether that report is going to
come down or not. All of that's hanging over it
and sort of driving all this.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What are the chances that they knew something was going
to be huge in that report, something in that report
was going to be scathing, and to avoid that report
nominating him.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Well, that is sort of the speculation actually here. And
you know the reason we got for Mattate's resignation was
Speaker Mike Johnson said, if he resigns now, I can
replace him more quickly because the House Republican majority that
they just won is very small. Losing three Republicans to
Trump's cabinet is going to matter so Speaker Johnson said, no,
(04:42):
he resigned so that I can replace him quickly. But
there's a lot of speculation that they just didn't want
that report to get out. Now, I'm not sure that
it implicates anyone other than Matt Gates, you know, in
whatever alleged criminality is going on, but you know that
there is some speculation there. So and then what.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Where does that report go? What happens to it? And
he is resigned, but that doesn't that doesn't follow him,
So what happens to that?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And is there any chance that that leaks out?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
So there is a I think strong chance that it
leaks out. By the by the rules of the House
Ethics Committee, by the letter of the law, the minute
he resigned yesterday, they no longer have any jurisdiction over
him because he's not a member of the House. So
by the rules, that report should just remain dormant and
not released in private. However, what I've heard is if
(05:38):
Matt Gates is actually the nominee and the Senate has
to review him and vote on him, they often for
every nominee will get classified background checks, They'll get classified
briefings on the person they're going to vote for. I imagine
that report would make its way over to the Senate
if senators demand in a classified setting to see it,
(06:01):
because they've got to vote on this person, and you know,
whether he's going to be the top attorney in the
United States. Certainly alleged criminality matters in that sense.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, I'm do we know.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Have there been vocal senators in Republican senators who have
said there is no chance Matt Gates gets in.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Has anybody attached their name to that sentiment.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
No one has said it that explicitly. But I talked
to Lisa Rakowski this morning on camera. She told me
when she heard the news, she was not sure whether
it was serious or whether it was a joke. You know,
we've heard others like Susan Collins stay on the record,
you know, what do you think about maggot says you
have a chance to get through. She said something to
(06:46):
the effect of every nominee is going to get a
very strong vetting and of their character and their person
and all their history, so you have to sort of
read between the lines. No one has flat out said
I'm not voting for the guy, even know, but there
had been others who who said things like, are you serious.
You know, I'm background who've told us not attaching their
(07:08):
names to it, there's virtually no chance that he gets through.
I haven't seen anyone on the record put their name
on that, but that that is the sentiment that I'm
hearing from many privately.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Joe Khalil News Nation, excellent reporting, per usual, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Thank you guys, happy to do it.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The more I think about that, the more I think
that's exactly what it was, that.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Trump protect him from the protect.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Him from the report as a thank you for the loyalty.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Yeah, because I don't know what the policy is if
he resigns before I mean the report, does it just die?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Die?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Tech guys, And he brought up Joe brought up a
good point.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
What else is in that report?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Who else is Trump protecting, even if they're just tangentially
connected to Matt Gates.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
So when the name was announced yesterday, when Matt Gates's
name was announced as an attorney general a nominee, Max Miller,
a Republican out of Ohio, said most people in there
in the House are giddy about it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Get him out of here.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
He said, Trump had plenty of other good options for nominees,
but went with Gates to a reward his loyalty, and
before the resignation was announced, this Congressman, Max Miller, suggested
that if the Senate hearings on Earth knew and convincing
evidence that the misconduct allegations against Gates were true, that
everybody in the House would vote to expel him, much
like they did with George Santos earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Or late last year. Sorry, I mean, there's no love
lost this.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
It may just be a way of getting rid of
him and he gets to keep his clean slate.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
A lot of people believe that this guy's a clown.
Oh yeah, even members of the House who have been
working with him. So I wanted to I read to
you this piece during the commercial break, but I want
to share with everybody. I was reading from the New
York Times about Max Miller, this congressman out of Ohio,
who said that they were giddy at the thought of
getting Matt Gates out of the House of Representatives, that
(09:01):
he doesn't have a whole lot of fans there. He
said that he was surprised that Matt Gates would even
agree to this Attorney general nomination. Because of the scrutiny
that comes with that, the investigation, the confirmation hearings, the
rigorous and invasive background checks. And his quote was, I'm
(09:22):
surprised that Matt would do this to himself. I want
to go get a big bag of popcorn and pull
up a front row seat to that show.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Is there a world in which he was named as
the nominee for AG so that this ethics report, which
was in its final stages, does not come out, never
sees the light of day, and that he removes himself
as the nominee before they can dig into his background check.
And then he lands a lucrative job somewhere where he
(09:51):
takes all the names connected with him and hides them forever.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
He does have a law degree, he becomes a lawyer
for the Trump organization or the Trump founda.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I think Trump Foundation is now defunct.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
But but yes, I mean there is that possible world
where this is a ploy to protect him from whatever
is in that ethics report.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, that sounds like it is the most likely scenario.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
But as Joe Khalil pointed out, this doesn't necessarily mean
that it's it's it disappears.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, But I do think it is predicated on what
other names are in that report, even if, like I said,
even they're just in Gates's orbit. Yeah, I mean, how
many people are they protecting with sand bag in this thing?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
From the Kamala Harris file. One of the stories that
came out in the last couple of weeks was how
much money that Harris campaign was able to bring in.
That in a matter of months it cossed a billion
dollars in fundraising and.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They blew through it to the point of being in debt.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Yeah, now a week since she conceded the contest, not
only has they run out of that billion, they're still
asking for more. And in fact, a text message that
went out just two days ago, a week after the election,
rights or says high team, it's Kamala. The election isn't
(11:13):
what we wanted, but I will never give give up
the fight. And right now there are still a number
of critical races across the country that are either too
close to call or within the margin of recounts or
certain legal challenges. So they said that the money would
eventually flow to the DNC to help with those efforts
like state recounts or curing the ballots, etc. But one
(11:35):
of the officials acknowledged that there is some debt, but
didn't really downplay I'm sorry, but did downplay the significance
of it, saying it's not going to be difficult to
pay off by the year's end, and also said that
given the results of the election, it would have been
worse to have lost while sitting on a pile of
unspent cash.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
What a weird spin.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
No, no, no, we lost just the right way so
that we could, We could lose with a certain amount
of debt.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
We wasted enough money to care.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
One of the great wins from not great win, but
one of the great digs from former President Trump at
the Harris campaign is Hey, do you guys need a loan? Like,
We'll help you cover the costs of whatever it is
that you need.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
We wouldn't want them to go into any more debt.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Than I've already listen to this one. Elon Musk's new
Department of Government Efficiency is calling for volunteers. They want
people to send in their resumes via x direct message.
Doze wants to recruit quoting here super high IQ small
(12:51):
government revolutionaries willing to work eighty plus hours per week
on unglamorous cost cutting, then added with a post from
his personal X account that this work would be unpaid.
He wrote, Indeed, this will be tedious work with lots
of enemies, and compensation is zero.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
What a great deal, laughing emoji.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Well, this is the same pitch, similar to the same
pitch that he told employees of X. Soon after he
bought the company Twitter, he sent an email to staff
asking them to commit to being hardcore and work long
hours at high intensity, or leave the company with severage
severance package. He estimated that about eighty percent of Twitter
(13:43):
left the company shortly after.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Wow, I've been seeing a lot more about that Blue Sky.
Also more and more people jumping from Twitter to go
to Blue Sky?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Are you is trying?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that like a playoff of old Twitter with the
blue sky the clouds?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Remember that wasn't that their thing?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I mean they had a bird?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Am I No, I don't need anything else, okay. Advance
Auto Parts closing more than seven hundred locations nationwide. Closure's
part of a restructuring plan. Roughly five hundred corporate stores
two hundred independently owned stores will close by mid twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Called out here for a second, I went get this right,
what'd you do?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Somebody misheard me?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
And is this about the Macax?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
No, not that one.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Not about the Bronies either, But it was about I
made a comment that Matt Gates might become a lawyer
for the Trump Organization, and then I said, or the
Trump Foundation.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
But I think the Trump Foundation doesn't exist any.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Gary just threw out a statement kind of like as
a Oh, by the way, besides, the Trump Organization is
now defunct.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Why is that, Gary?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Why did they get forced to close down when Donald
Trump won? What did they do that the Department of
Justice made them close? Can you let us know please?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Idiot?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Okay, wow, it was the Trump Foundation, and yes, it
was dissolved by court order in twenty eighteen after various
legal violations came to light.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Idiot, idiot, that's fun.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
It's not like I said it. Did I say it incorrectly?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I said, think you were.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Making a major point. It was kind of a throwaway aside.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You're an idiot.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
See how it feels you've actually kind of really took
ownership of that one.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Did that feel good for you?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I mean I didn't, well that I'm an idiot? Oh
that part?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Yeah, yeah, it felt funny on my tongue.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
When location sharing is making us miserable. Story in the
Washington Post today about how it is time to say
I know that this twenty four to seven location sharing
has invaded our friendships, our romances.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Is it too late to go back?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Where is he going? I'm sorry, I'm just how are
you tracked checking my son?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
He is that? Oh? Okay, yes, I know where he's going.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Stargarden munch.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ashley Reggie is twenty six, lives in Washington State, had
a friendship go bad after location sharing spiraled out of control,
with both parties checking the other's location dozens of times
a day. I had to tell her, Ashley says, No,
I actually don't want to know where you are, and
(16:46):
I don't want you to know where I am. I
want to go up back to how we were before.
Or if you wanted to know where someone was, you
would have to actually ask them.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It's a weird.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
It's a weird thing, and we've talked about it many
times before. If you have kids and you kind of
want to keep an eye on where they are, or
just double check and see if they're sneaky enough to
leave their phone somewhere where they're not supposed to be
kind of thing. You have to get into the habit
or you have to get out of the habit of
(17:16):
constantly checking location because it breeds distrust.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I for me, it's just a hard no for
anyone to know where I am.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
It creeps me out.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Not that anyone cares where I am or would check
or whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Your husband cares where you are.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I don't think so. I don't think you would check.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Here's where you are. That's different, but again it's different.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But again problem saying no. I just don't like the
idea of anybody. I like my freedom, my autonomy. I
like to go where I want to go and nobody
know about it, right, Like, that's one of the beauties
of when you get an adult, being an adult, or even
when you get your first driver's license at sixteen and
getting in a car and my parents don't know where
(18:01):
I'm going. They don't know if I'm gonna get a
left at the stop later, if I'm gonna take a right,
And it's just like, I love that feeling of freedom,
and if somebody constantly knows where I am, I feel
like I'm in communist China.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
But you also you just opened your phone and didn't
know if anybody was checking your location or had access.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
To your location.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Right, Well, ignorance is bliss in that regard. I had
no idea. It turns out one of my friends was
tracking me.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Well, and I'm not sure if it meant that she
was tracking you or you were tracking her, although I
think it does have to work both ways.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, there was a thing where it said turn off
my location sharing, and I turned that off, yeah, promptly.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Not that I care if she tracks.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Me, but there this has come up and I think that,
I mean you would probably know as well as I
do that the younger people in their relationships, this is
a thing like this is it's a moment in a
relationship where you shared the polibry.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
The password.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Remember we know if Yeah, we first all started getting
cell phones and that was the conversation of do you
share your password with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or whatever?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And now it's location interesting.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
And it came up when I have a a I
know someone I created her and she had the issue
of when you break up with somebody or when you
start the relationship, at what point do you share location?
Oh man, I was kind of see to me that
(19:33):
it's neutral on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That's almost like controlling behavior.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I hate that, right, Well, it can definitely be used
for that, and that was the concern.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
As I was, I think you don't share that. Guy.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
I was generally neutral about it, but said, you can
never be forced into sharing your local do not do
not fall for that. But if you're trusting enough and
you feel comfortable enough doing that, then I mean, you,
why can't.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You just shoot a text? Where are you at?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I'm at the home depot? Hard If you're not at
the home depot, you big liar pants.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Well then if you're trying to catch someone in something,
then you've got a whole other.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Hostage, right, which which became the discussion like, if there's
ever any point where you have to lie about your location,
you should not be.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You should not be sharing your location with that person,
whoever it is.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You should not be in a relationship with that person.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
But it's I mean, this is a weird thing.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
I have this because I've got you know, it's my wife,
my son, and my daughter, and the four of us
share each other's location.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Both my son and my daughter have all kinds.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Of people that they know the locations of of close
friends of theirs that they have in their list of people.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
But I don't have anybody outside of those three.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
And then like, at what point in your day do
you like go to the location place on your phone
or whatever it is and look at where people are.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's kind of weird, like all the.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
People you you share with on one like in one matter,
I mean, if if you can, if I can see
my daughter in Texas, my son on the freeway, and
my wife at home right now, But that's I mean,
I don't know where.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I don't know where he's I kind of have an
idea of where he's going, but I don't know specifically
Star Garten.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Star Garden's got a nice Thursday lunch special, which exit
he just passed, But I mean it's left.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
In the right. Stages are closed down until two, but.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Well they have to clean them, right, Oh I did?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Did?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I didn't play this for you yet? Mark Zuckerberg is
a musician.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Did you know that? No? Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg apparently picks
up the acoustic guitar every once in a while.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Is this about booty shaking that booty?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What was that line from the song yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I don't know bouncing booty, bouncing off my bouncing off
my booty, You bouncing on my booty, somebody's booty bouncing
something somewhere.
Speaker 5 (21:51):

Speaker 3 (21:52):

It's one of our new favorite things.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I don't have that at the ready. It's one of
our new favorite things.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I thought you put it on the special aboard.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I did not put it on.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Wow, Well it's hateful.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
It's not hateful, it's just.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Didn't know you were such a homophobe.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't know where it was.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You don't know where it went. You lost it forever.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I don't think I lost it forever. You don't have
to be so angry.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Okay, anyway, sorry, Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Mark Zuckerberg did a cover of te Pain.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Okay, there's a tea pain.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I think it's.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Damn your This is Mark Zuckerberg hoping you can suck
it to me.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Baby.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
One more ruining this song.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
No no no, no, no no no, does he say it?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah? Well, anyway, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's the worst thing I've heard this week that makes
the Matt Gates nomination sparkle Social Studies is a five
part series fa premiering Friday at the Telluride Film Festival
in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
It will be arriving on FX.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It is this documentary filmmaker's latest foray into documenting teen
life in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
She has done really well in this genre.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
She was the one behind The Queen of Versailles, the
King Maker, the long chronicled Beauty, wealth and Power, and
the damaging toll of excess.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Lauren Greenfield is now She's got two kids, two boys actually,
about fourteen and twenty, and has had to ask some
very awkward questions of her boys about what life is
like as a teenager now because it is so completely
a turbocharged, steroid riddled And I don't mean that, I
(24:22):
mean that as sort of a euphemism, but it's so
much more than it was when we were kids.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I feel like kids are isolating themselves more and maybe
that's because maybe that's why they're isolating.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
This question, just to turn it all off.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Probably.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The series was largely filmed in Los Angeles, features teens
from ten schools, including Pacific Palisades, LA and Hamilton High Schools.
She shot roughly twelve hundred hours of footage over one
hundred and fifty days, covering the twenty twenty one to
twenty two school year and some subsequent months. She also
recorded the teen's phone and so social media use, so.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
That I think is an interesting aspect.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
But when asked about what goes on, I mean, it's
it's it's a reality. It's a documentary. So you get
to see them, she says, in three different elements. Number one,
the verite, you just get to see them sort of
in their lives. Sometimes they're you know, they're posturing, or
they're presenting. There's sometimes they're with friends, sometimes they're lying.
The interviews where it's just one on one, they break
(25:26):
the fourth wall and said that they're very honest.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And then the third perspective.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Is a group situation where it's just her recording their
conversations between each other and said it's kind of almost
like a therapy session for the most part. But think
about that, think about the idea that she was also
able to record them using their phones.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
She said that with fictional depictions of teen life, you
know Euphoria thirteen, Beverly Hills nine O two one zero,
you know that that's the extreme.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
It's not really like that for teens.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
But when she says she was doing feedback screening, she
showed a filmmaker, Nicole Holofencer, the first episode and after
Cole the filmmaker saw the first episode, she said, this
is a horror movie.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's not a horror movie for kids, but it would
be a horror movie for parents. There's one part where
one of the kid's mom says, I don't want to
go in my kids TikTok?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
What that you?
Speaker 7 (26:36):
That should be a sign you don't want to because
you're afraid what you're going to see. That's exactly why
you should be all up in that business.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
That's right. You have to pay attention. And then you've
put your head in the sand.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
You've got the parents also dealing with their own social
media use and exposure and what they're modeling for their
kids in terms of how they react to it. What
can it does? A social media post then ruin the
rest of your day, and you're modeling that behavior for
your own kid to allow them to, you know, be
held hostage by their social media accounts oh Beaver.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Moons gott be.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I mean, what makes the twelve o'clock hour bigger than
a beaver Moon.
Speaker 7 (27:21):

coming up? We can give those away too.
