Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yet six night we got patchy frost in the freaking forecast.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Again.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Here's the good thing. By Thursday sixty five, we get
to seventy. We'll call it eighty on Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
And then we're in the low seventies Saturday, then the
middle sixties Sunday, but then back up to seventies.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So we made it. So, I say, so I'm safe now.
If I'm an Amish person, I'm planting corn. I'm ready
to go. I was so it was so windy today.
I seriously I watched the bird just give up. He
was like trying to fly across the street and he
was like, screw it, No, I'm just land I'm just
gonna land.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
This is crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I thought he would walk. No, he was looking through cars.
He was a big old raven and he was working
at it. He was working at it.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Now those things with the enormous wings that think about
how much more wind that sail is collected?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Right? Well, so just walk up today. You're hungry, you're
a bird, and you're like son of a godly What
am I gonna do? You know what? I just I
was just gonna walk over to the White Castle dumps there,
just over the best we are all over the place
we are. It's good. It is good. It's healthy for
the it's good for the environment.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
So tell me about Los Angeles. You're flying to LA
next week? Ye, And so what do you have going on?

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I go to I go to uh New York City
on on Thursday night. I'm gonna be on the Gregory
Guttfeld Pro That's ok good on Friday, Okay. Then I
have a couple of days to kind of regroup, and
then I'm gonna go back to Los Angeles. This is
my first trip back for the Los Angeles Who in

(06:38):
two years, and it's gonna be a weird one guy.
It's gonna be a weird one.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
So why so long since you've been there?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean not want to go?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Not really?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Why not? Really? No, Well it's left, it's left of
left of left. I mean, you got a lot of
left in New York, but you also have I.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Think there are maybe some sensible people are starting to
inhabit or at least come out in New York. Like
in LA they're still all like brainwashed, right.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
They really are. Although I think these fires in the
Palisades and Malibu woke a lot of people up in terms,
because that's really what happens. Is like you live in
a community like bel Air or Beverly Hills or the
Palisades or Malibu, and you can you can vote for
all this craziness because you have your own private security.
You don't have to worry about yeah, defund the police.

(07:28):
You have your own security. Oh yeah, we can dial
back on this and that and the other thing because
you are okay, it doesn't affect you and the boy.
This this fire really really, I think woke a lot
of people up, and I just want to make sure
that they can remember the rage that they're feeling now
when it's time to recall Gavin Newsom when it's time to,

(07:50):
you know, get rid of Karen Bass.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Well, so since you were in last I mean you
saw he's trying to act like he's middle of the
road now trying to make sense of it makes sense,
you know, it's brilliant, it's pritty. Well yeah, but I
don't think by and large most people are going to
accept it.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I like the narrative, which is.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
He's not trying to correct anything that he did from before.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
He's just now jumping on.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Well I think this that, but those things, he isn't
any amends, know.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Nothing, no right, no, complete denial of reality, complete denial
of his own history. I don't know who's saying latin X.
LATINX is crazy, dude, you said it on the way here,
and I don't think remember that. Here's what I do know.
When I tap my wrists together and I do this
shimmy shimmy shake shake with my crazy hand. Yeah, he's
just completely Yeah, we should we got to keep boys

(08:40):
out of women's sports, and then he'll sue Trump to
make sure that they can keep It's it's ridunculous.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, and I think that's going to.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Well, you would hope that it would keep him because
he's clearly trying to set up twenty eight Oh yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Take a shot at being the Democrat the nominee if
you will for me.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Which is a much better it's a much better move
that he's making with this little podcast full of full
of lives. You're listening to Pinocchio Radio his podcast of
Whye than than What Bernie Sanders just did? Bernie Sanders
just went to Coachella. You know, I know it's six
hundred dollars a ticket. A package of not chose is
one hundred and fifty dollars. But we gotta we we
gotta watch it for the oligarchs the anyways, Like is

(09:22):
the Oligarchs band?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is that the dude grooms that strokes, No.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
The oligarchs, they're the billionaires, the elon musks with the
moo yeah and then AOC with him.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
That is such a bizar tandem. Oh, it's not bizarre
at all.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
If you look at Bernie Bernie Sanders history, like, yeah,
he he got he's.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Never had like going on there, like where he's thinking something,
Oh he wants it?

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Really?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh does he think he has it? You're in a
plane with AOC.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Traveling across the country. I'm just saying in the bathroom
flight there, it's a it's a it's a mile like club.
Have you ever been with an older man?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Why don't what I'm doing dung dung.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's gonna be a lot. That's almost.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
From It's exactly who it is.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Panther, that's where, that's what that is? What else? It's
John Binder doing Jack Macey. Yes, this is the odd book.
It's also Boner Fenders. I'm from a monk. I have
maple syrup, but my pens I make it. Hey, go see,
do you like maple syrup? You got some pancakes over there?
Would give them all a little slip of butter. I

(10:30):
don't know. You can't.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
He can't actually really believe though, that something could come
out of that situation.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
As far as you know.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
You're gonna steal that, you're gonna steal that from him? No,
he's like, what one hundred and twelve at least he
does yes, Oh, and that's slowly he's he's hoping and
praying that she'll be like, yes, Bernie, now is the time.
Let's fight the oligarchy together by making the beast with
two backs. Let us knock boots for freedom and socialism.

(11:00):
You know, if you're really a communist, you would share
the wang.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Thanks, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Those private jets they're taking everywhere, I'm sure right.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, yes, she was flying first class somewhere recently, too,
is she? But yeah, you're on a private chat with AOC.
It's late at night, the cabin crews all asleep, and
you're just like you want to you want to shar
a blanket here we go.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
There is no way that he believes that, though that's
a chance.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Of course he does.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I can't hardly understand. It has to be giving him.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Some sort of sign.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Just give me some time, Ti, Geryl, I mean my baby,
and I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I think all she has to do is be sitting
there breathing.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
He's like, yes, she's into it.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
She wasn't.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I just gotta tell a clever joke about Joseph.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Stalin and she'll be into me.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
She gets up to leave from wherever, and he's hoping
she leaves quickly follows her. No, no, he's check it
out where she was sitting.

Speaker 1 (12:07):

a couple of. Minutes it Is Tech. Tuesday Mike, DUBUSKI
Abc News technology reporter is jumping on with us, now
so talk about this is meta cruising for a, Breakup,
Mike welcome to the.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Show great to be. Here, yeah that is what THE
ftc is arguing in a court In, WASHINGTON dc this.
Week this all stems from twenty, twenty this original plan
saying that the acquisition that Then facebook made Of instagram
in twenty twelve And WhatsApp in twenty fourteen amounted to
a violation OF us anti trust. Law this started towards

(23:12):
the end of the First trump. Administration it was then
transferred over to THE ftc under The biden, administration and
now after a lot of filing and, refiling it is
finally going to. Trial Mark zuckerberg has been testifying for
the last two. Days we also expect other major figures
From Silicon valley to make appearances at this. Trial and
at the, core it really comes down to those two.

(23:34):
Acquisitions THE ftc says that making those acquisitions were not
shrewd business, decisions but rather an effort to squash, competition
and that violates the eighteen Ninety Sherman Anti Trust, act
and that states that it's illegal to maintain a monopoly
by using anti competitive, practices for, example buying up worthy
competitors just to take them off the playing.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Field, so now what is.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Next because clearly you've set the table here and now
it sounds like it's fired up. Again but it's going
to be a long time before any kind of decision is,
REACHED i would.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Imagine, yeah that's. True we expect this trial to go
on for several. Weeks about two months or so is
kind of what we're. Predicting, again major figures that we're
expecting to see over the course of those six to eight,
Weeks Mark, Zuckerberg Cheryl, sandberg a former executive At facebook Now,
meta the head Of Instagram Adam, masi also the leaders
of other competitors out, there companies Like LinkedIn And pinterest

(24:31):
And reddit and others are all expected to play a role,
here And meta throughout all of this is arguing that
the sort of definition of the, market right they're supposed
dominance in the social media, space, well that market's actually
really big and therefore they don't face a lot of.
Competition they say that they will present evidence at trial
showing what every seventeen year old in the world, knows

(24:54):
which is That facebook And instagram And WhatsApp compete regularly
with companies like TikTok and x And LinkedIn and. Others
THE ftc is defining this market much more narrowly so
they can say, that, yeah they are dominant in this.
Space that means that they say there's basically only three players.
Here There's, meta which they say controlled about eighty percent

(25:16):
of users in this. Market There's, snapchat and then There's,
mewe which is a privacy based social network, that according
to their, website claims about twenty million users. Worldwide THE
fdc says that they dominate that particular market and that's.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Illegal so what happens Then, meta the parent company has
to split these.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Up then do they sell? THEM i, mean what would? Happen?

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Then that is what THE fdc is asking a judge to.
Do the judge in this case Is James, boseberg who
is a familiar name to people who follow, politics but
he's also in charge of this and, yeah that is
what THE fdc is. Saying they say that the only
remedy in this case If boseburg sides with the government's case,
here is to spin Off instagram And what's into their own.

(26:00):
Companies to Have meta divest from these two huge parts
of their. Business, obviously that would turn over this company
in a huge. Way they've Seen instagram And WhatsApp grow
much faster than the Main facebook. App they rake in
billions of dollars every year from those two. Services it
would also really flip conventional wisdom In Silicon valley on its.

(26:22):
Head right, now if you're at the head of a
startup in the tech, world you're not really trying to
compete With meta Or google Or facebook Or tesla Or,
apple because those guys are really. Big they have billions
of dollars to throw around in teams of lawyers aimed
at making you not a player on that particular. Field
you want to make a small company that gets bought

(26:43):
up by those, guys, right hopefully to the tune of
several billion. Dollars but if the government starts breaking up
big tech, companies, well that calculus is going to. Change
will it change for the better for the? CONSUMER i
think that remains to be. Seen but legal experts That
i've talked to over the course of this process say
it's a long road before we get to that.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Point.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Right that would come in a remedies phase of this.
Case right, now we're really just trying to figure out
whether there is any monopoly happening in the social media,
space and legal experts say that the government has a
pretty uphill battle to fight. Here for, one they have
to parse out the intentions of tech executives from more
than a decade, ago, right twenty twelve and twenty. Fourteen

(27:25):
it is a long time. Ago it was a much
different social media landscape at that. Time in, addition they
also have to sort of prove the hypothetical they have
to prove that a world Where facebook didn't Buy instagram
And WhatsApp would have been a better world for the everyday.
Consumer but that world hasn't come to. Pass it's not
the real world that we're living, in and that makes

(27:46):
it kind of hard to prove the. Negative There, again
they have some kind of compelling. Evidence they have an
email From Mark zuckerberg in twenty twelve and the lead
up to Buying instagram that was where he said that
the move was designed to quote neutral life. Competition so
you can expect that to be a major talking. Point
but even, still there's a lot of questions left to be.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Answered we'll be following it for. Sure Mike, DUBUSKY Abc
News technology reporter out Of New. York, mike thank you very,
much appreciate, it of, course you do. It thank you
care all, Right, YEAH i it almost reminds me of like.
TikTok it's like the local TikTok byte dance like kind of, thing,
almost you know WHAT i, Mean almost like kind of
in a way like listening to.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeesh it's the government barking up the wrong. Trade but
that's all they ever. Do it's it's it's insane to,
me after The shenanigans we saw in twenty sixteen and
then what we saw with The Hunter biden laptop story
in twenty, twenty and you, know back then it Was
twitter and then bayh blah blah bah. Bah it's how the,
algorithm it's the. Thing it's the same thing with TikTok.

(28:49):
Too it's just the. Algorithm they know, that like you
get these endorphin. Rushes, oh somebody liked my post that
made me feel and then what is the person going
to see? Next and how do you it's, seriously thank
God Elon musk Bought twitter and turned it INTO. X
that is the absolute pivot point for this country BECAUSE

(29:12):
i tell you, what they don't have it In europe and, like,
oh they can talk about. Competition there's plenty of. People there's,
plenty you. Know AND i don't think young people are
flocking To facebook. Anymore, no, right they're All, instagram, TikTok
they're doing other. STUFF i want to, know how do
you shape the opinion of The american. Voter they know

(29:38):
exactly what they're, doing and no one it's, crazy not
even THE gop seems to be even remotely.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Concerned about. This he Has Elon musk buying.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
That And i'm not taking anything away From President trump
and his ability to do what he does and get
the votes and all. THAT i don't want to say single,
hand BUT i, mean think about what he swooped in
and he was able to, accomplish and then he ends
up seeing exactly what really is going. On his eyes are. Opened,

(30:13):
Yes AND i mean there is no other way to
kind of quantify all of. That and, absolutely one thousand
percent it is by the grace Of god that that,
happened because we would not be where we're at.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Right we Wouldn't trump would have been screaming into a. Vacuum.
Yep he would have been absolutely right about, everything all of. It,
Yes so, yeah it's. Amazing AND i do a live
stream On facebook Every wednesday night at eight Thirty eastern.
Listeners BUT i say this a, lot you, Know, trump

(30:47):
look at the giant financial hit that that family, took
just The trump, family and then they're trying to put
him in jail and In. Butler they're trying to do really,
dastardly you. Know, so So trump's taken this huge risk
in a financial hit to become. President then you Got
Elon musk who's taken a huge financial.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Hit Pete, hegseth.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
The defense, Secretary he's taken a huge financial. Hit that
to me is the is the wonderful Like Golden age
aspect of this whole thing of all these people who
look around and they're, like something is very wrong. HERE
i will sacrifice millions in An elon's, case billions of
dollars because we got to get we got to get
the train back on the correct.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Tracks so that CONVERSATION i heard recently About STEVEN. A,
smith who Is i'm sure you saw some of that
where he is he is saying that there are some
very powerful people that have approached him about getting into
politics and running as A.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Democrat, yes and there's.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Like the biggest thing on the surface is a lot
of people are Going he's going to take an enormous
financial hit if he.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
GOES i mean a.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Pink you pay.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Cut is not even that that's so under you, know
like it's not even exactly it's it's.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Silly what would happen with him much?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
MONEY i got the only upside For STEVEN. A smith
if you get him to run for the on The democrat,
side is that he's not gonna have to look at his, notes,
Right he's gonna know that's the thing that would always kill.
Me like Like trump truly believes. Things he doesn't need
note cards for a debate because you ask him about an,

(32:30):
Issue he's, like here's the, way here's the here's my moral,
compass here's What i'm, going here's what the right. THING
i truly believe the right thing to do is. This
and then you have, like come, ON i gotta better
look at my notes to see What i'm what AM
i supposed to say at lesbian eskimos because we need
that voting block.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Exactly that's, so that is so accurate that you so
you're Saying STEVEN a would have to he's gonna have
to Be, oh you would not have.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
TO i don't know who else they have Besides Gavin,
newsome and he's gonna be looking at his note cards
too and bashing his wrists together and doing the hippie hippie.
Shake but, like what do they stand for beyond? Me
beyond trans ran everybody's everybody's, trans everybody's, equal it's trans.
Socialism here's your one piece swimming suit.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
That already lost for them so, bad, right so?

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Bad he.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Lost it's, like, oh you better not hang your hat on.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
That they have no, platform they have nothing to stand,
on and it's just gonna be, frustrating like how did
they even how are they even?

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Competitive this is gonna get interesting for. Sure i'm Predicting
steve And a won't end. Up you, know he likes

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Fitting, yes here's the deal and this is WHAT i

boy kill maar uh sorry, bro, sorry but we're looking
at what how many how many illegals do we think are?

(39:57):
Right so, CONSERVATIVELY i THINK i think you're gonna get
that Little. UH i. Don't i'm not saying this dude is.
Innocent i'm just SAYING i would watch the. MOVIE i
would watch the movie if you, had like a Young Arnold.
Schwarzenegger i'm, Wrongly, No i'm not the. Terrorist, No and
they put the bag over his head and he wakes
up in An El salvadoran prison wearing white, boxers looking
At Christy nom's booty, like.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
NO i, don't, Hi, chisty what are you?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Doing he went up, Throng i've seen a, lot and
then he's got to fight the gang. GUYS i would
watch that.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Well and so, YEAH i WAS i was saying to you.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yesterday i'm sure you saw the president Of El, Salvador President.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
BUKELEY i think that's how you say. It, Yeah. Boukeyley
i'm not gonna make fun of, it, Right i'm not Gonna,
okay it's. Bukelly it sounds like A japanese word that
is not suitable for these.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Listeners well, Right and then, UH i think it Was
Caitlyn collins FROM cnn who basically was, like are you
going to get him? Back are you going to? Facilitate
and he was, LIKE i can't smuggle a terrorist into THE.
Us and The President trump's, like these people are, sick you,
know saying this About.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Kayler and then it was.

Like should she be banned from you know and all of.
That but this president of L salvador is, Like i'm not.
COMPLYING i don't know who you. People this is the craziest.
Thing they're trying to Force President trump to. Do it
is it is the craziest. Thing and these you don't
belong in the. Country you got to go. Home you
got to go.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Home and That bukeley, guy what he's done with his
country's been. Fantastic it's now. THAT i guess it's it's
rated as safer to go to like L salvador than
it is to go to THE uk Or.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
France how about.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
That it's it's almost miraculous when you take people who've
committed crimes and you lock them up to be penitent
and think about their crimes and experience the punishment for those.
Crimes turns out the society thrives on the. World, yeah
isn't it nice living in A? Uh that's the other frustrating.

(41:59):
Thing and it's like we were talking about this earlier,
too about like The, democrats what do they stand?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
For it's just like none of this is rocket, science.

country who wasn't supposed to be.
