Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hell everyone, My name is Spencer Welsh. Welcome to today's
episode of news Flash. On the show today we gotta
go infore you as always take on at some big
new inflation numbers and asking why Donald Trump is so
intent on blowing up every system around the world with
no clear plan on how to fix it. Also, Andrew

(00:33):
Cuomo re launching his campaign for New York City mayor,
coming out against Zora mom Donni for the general election.
In his relaunch video is actually out on the street
this time. Who could have given him that idea? So
so so crazy, but it looks as warmed over and
as lifeless as you would expect from a politician like

(00:56):
Andrew Cuomo. Will break it down and tell you why
mom Donnie may actually be able to make nice on
his terms put it that way with the Democratic Party
and business establishment in New York. Also, we'll continue to
take a look at the fallout in Magaland over Jeffrey Epstein,

(01:17):
and we have a very very interesting look at ContraPoints,
who is a pretty popular Democratic YouTuber who really went
viral in the first Trump term but has kind of
fallen silent recently, and it's a large part because of Gaza.

(01:38):
She didn't want to talk about it. Apparently now she
has and it's pissing off a lot of fans and
including me with some of the most brain dead, really
insidious takes that we've seen from everyone in Gaza, all
brought into one weird Instagram story. So we'll break down

(01:59):
all that for you. As always, all of the stories
will be on YouTube within the next twelve hours, so
go check that out Spence Welsh YouTube channel and let's
get into it. Coming into the twenty twenty three twenty
twenty four election period, I think it's safe to say
a lot of people were kind of not feeling Donald trop.

(02:21):
They're little perturbed with the handling of January sixth. I
thought he went maybe a little bit too far and
they were kind of done with him from politics. But
a big part of why he was able to win
in twenty twenty four, I think, especially with people that
aren't really as in tune with politics, was because he promised,

(02:43):
and especially in the wake of very very bruising inflation
in the Biden administration, he promised economic competence and he said,
you know, remember when you had that little bit extra
money in your pocket, wasn't that so nice. Biden is
taking that away from you, I am going to give
that back to you. Essentially, I'm going to return you

(03:04):
to the glory days of twenty nineteen economically, when interest
rates were low, things were cheap, and it felt like
a whole new different time in the wake of COVID.
I think it worked with a lot of people because
you know, Biden's governance was really not that good, and
he could even communicate any of the good stuff that
he was doing because he was essentially half dead. But

(03:28):
now we have a different situation. We have a big
headline today in the New York Times. US inflation accelerated
in June as Trump's tariffs are pushing up the prices.
What do you look at that? And the biggest thing
I think this reflects, and you could see so much
of the problems of his administration reflected in this story.

(03:51):
And I think the biggest problem is even when he's
obviously doing awful, fascistic things, but even and blowing up
you know, kind of sys that have kept a lot
of people, you know, safe in very physical ways as
well throughout this entire administration. But the systems that he
does blow up, even ones that do deserve to be

(04:12):
blown up. He blows them up without any sort of plan,
without any sort of long term thought about what the
future is going to be. You know, he doesn't give
it any even for example, with tariffs, he doesn't do
and I've said this many times before, he doesn't do
any sort of domestic investment. He doesn't do any sort
of preparation to build up specific industries. He does it blanket.

(04:36):
He does it in the most confusing way possible, and
he doesn't give the American manufacturers, the American businesses, even
the American workers any sort of real support. So it's
caused a lot of problems, I think, to say the least,
and this two point seven percent, a lot of people
are saying, you know, it is mostly because of the terriffs,

(04:57):
but it could be much worse. And it's it's dependent
on the economic decision making companies have to do regarding
future Trump terriffs. I think it's become pretty clear at
this point most companies and decision makers have been balancing
this kind of taco versus crazy dynamic. No one knows
what to expect. Even these numbers show how chaotic things
have been, how we're they can get and how important

(05:20):
the run up to August first is, when there's going
to be a bunch of new tariffs on the EU
and various other very important trading partners. You're talking about,
you know, Japan, South Korea, and also just a bunch
of allies by the way, who have never done anything
to harm us, but now we're all of a sudden saying,
you know, bring these tariffs on, let's get them with
the tariffs, let's go crazy. But the sock market nudged

(05:41):
higher after the data was released, this is the quote
here from the New York Times, but quickly gave up
their gains, adding to a series of muta moves in
recent trading sessions as investors remain cautious about the path ahead.
That's essentially, you know, them saying Trump is going to
chicken out. Essentially they're they're betting on you know, maybe

(06:02):
July thirty first, July thirtieth, will we'll delay the terrifs
and another ninety school let's push it down the road.
And then that is why you're not seeing these major
with these major freakouts in the market. But all this chaos,
all this interruption, all this will he won't he even
when he has in some cases he's put those ten
percent errats on kind of across the board, which has
also had a pretty big impact. You know, that is

(06:24):
already leading to a big uptick in inflation. And what
I found very interesting here is if you look at
these kind of monthly changes, this is a sector bisector.
What has been going down, what has been going up? Apparently,
you know, cars and things are getting a little a
little bit cheaper. Use use new vehicles. Use cars and
trucks are the things that are decreasing in price to

(06:46):
the most. So that's nice. But if you look at
what's increasing the price to us there you see the
same dynamic, which is Trump blowing things up, taking a
hammer blow to the system, and he does not consider
at all what the consequences are going to be. You know,
if you look at the top there where it says
fuel oil, gasoline, all types, and then a little bit

(07:08):
for electricity, which also kind of is in the same way.
But fruits and vegetables are also growing up as well.
That's two other examples of Trump blowing up the system
for no reason and with no plan to move past it.
You know, if you're talking about grocery prices. You know,
he has he not just been raiding farms and deporting

(07:30):
farm workers who pick these vegetables for the past two
three months at this point and causing a bunch of
you know, societal chaos and doing very evil things, but
also again blowing up the system for no reason. And
again with this farm farm system, it's like you can
make a lot of critiques on it. You can say,
these immigrant labors, they're being exploited. I'm not of the

(07:51):
of the belief that all of our food has to
be picked by people who aren't immigrants, but at least
look at from a little bit like that's the system
can be reformed, can't be changed, but just deporting everyone
for the cruelty's sake and really screwing a lot with
the kind of US food supply and kind of take
take a look at it, and it's not the most
surprising thing in the world when that is on the

(08:14):
top of the list when it comes to increasing prices.
If you look at gasoline as well, we just did
a whole war with Iran and Yemen and caused a
massive crisis with oil. People were freaking out. Crude was skyrocketing.
There for this twelve day war, and that had some
big kind of impacts. And that was another thing where

(08:35):
Trump just blew up the whole system for no reason.
There was no effort for negotiation. I mean, there was
a fake effort for negotiation, but that was again that
was blown up by Trump at the best of Israel
for the sake of Israel's own geopolitical aims. And Trump
looking nice and trying to get a big win. It's
just something that he, you know, always is looking for,

(08:57):
but he doesn't think beyond that big win and that
big first splash, and that, as we can see right now,
is also going to be a huge problem for Americans,
and it's coming back to her Americans already and especially
at the gas tank here, and I think it is
it is. It is very interesting here to see before

(09:20):
before this latest trade escalation, the Times Rights, the Federal
Serve saw the risks of that outcome, this inflation, stagflation rising, receding.
Now the risks may be rising again. Signs of an accelerating,
accelerating price pressures will make it much more difficult for
the Central Bank to restart interest rate cuts that have
been on hold since January, even as economic growth slows,

(09:42):
so again we're seeing the times where the FED still
needs to kind of keep the money supply tight, keep
a close watch on the economy, and that is because
of this chaos. And the question is like how long
can we be in this weight z mode. It's not sustainable.
I mean, some things need really building up, blowing up,
starting all over again. But a rebuilding plan also has

(10:05):
to be in place when the dynamite goes, when the
TNT is triggered, you know. And that looks like a
lot of competent governance that we were promised with Trump
and we did not receive. And he's also I think
it's very kind of interesting here. He's also blowing up
the European Union relationship. They're now delaying retalitary tariffs about
the US, and that's been something that they have long

(10:29):
been threatening. This is one of the most essential parts
behind the kind of just general dominance of the US
in the world stage is our relationship with Europe and
with these kind of developed but not as much powerful
countries that Donald Trump here is blowing up again for
no reason, Bonnette.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
The European Union has announced it is now delaying retaliatory
tariffs on goods from the US until early August. This
comes out to President Trump threatened to impose thirty percent
tariffs on the twenty seven nation trading block as of
August first, leaving few of them what three weeks now
to negotiate a deal. CBS News Foreign correspondent Remy and
Osensio joined us from our London bureau with more on this. Reimi,

(11:11):
good morning to you once again. How realistic? I know
that it's a question that's impossible to answer, but how
realistic is getting a deal done by August actually in
real life?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Eryl?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, well, you know, basically talks are better than tariffs, right,
and EU leaders are at least buying a few more
weeks of time, just a little under three weeks, as
you just intimated there, so the but you.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Know, as they're intimating, it's not going to be very
easy for them, and that there's a CBS News clip
there to get any sort of broader, significant, kind of
workable deal because of so many factors of the trumpdministration.
Lack of trust there, the inability for them to trust
that they're actually going to stick to a deal even
if they achieve it, and then they may not even

(11:58):
have to worry about if you're a European unique going
for a deal because of the facts that they may
just blow it all away. July thirty, thirtieth thirty first
say oh, we're pushing it back a little bit further,
which is very very possible. I mean, they've spent months
preparing for plans to hit back, only to hold off
in favor of more talks. They've tried the kind of

(12:18):
retaliatory tariffs to tariffs on twenty one billion euros nearly
twenty five billion dollars of American goods, but they were
bubbly suspended them in a show of good will when
Trump pivot in the last minute and paused some painful
across the board at tariffs. And the goal was to negotiate,
but there just has been no real progress. It is
necessary to flash some muscles, flash some muscles, says Lars.

(12:39):
Look at Ross Wilson, the Dayish foreign minister. If you
want peace, you have to prepare for war. And I
think that's where we are. But Europe is still trying
to make a deal, and I think this they're giving
the United States very intertriting. They're giving that States every
possible chance to say, oh, we'd rather be with you
than without you. We're trying to keep things stable. We
want to continue this good, solid work relationship. And then

(13:02):
Trump is just like, maybe I do, but also maybe
I don't. So it is very very weird and kind
of very very interesting here as well. We have to
protect the jobs. You have to protect the businesses, said Sevkovic,
who is a negotiator here for the EU, on that
we will continue for prepare further countermeasures, so we are

(13:22):
fully prepared. As Ursula vanderlyn President of the European Commission,
this is very important. This is now the time for negotiations.
We are not there yet, Vanderlian says about using the
nuclear tool, which is a plan to call it the
anti coercion instrument, to target big tech firms or other

(13:42):
American service companies by opposing trade or investment restrictions on them.
Such a move could hit American businesses in the pocketbook,
but because it would be so painful and escalating the
trade war, it is sometimes referred to as the nuclear option.
They are not there yet, but the fact that we're
getting to this point where America has to Europeans European
Commission is trying to talk about using the nuclear option

(14:04):
in terms of trade on America. Is a sign of
how much this has eroded our kind of soft power
abroad and our influenced to essentially manipulate Europe to do
whatever we want, which has been a big part of
American policy, you know, foreign and domestic in a lot
of ways. It's kind of connected back for many, many decades.
And to lose that would be really quite significant, you know.

(14:27):
And the sad thing about this whole thing is that
teriffs they could have been a real opportunity. They could
strengthen jobs and quality of work for the United States
middle class. They give you the United States to control
over key sectors that we need in times of natural
security places for example like COVID. But also, you know,
you can get the really big thing on this is

(14:51):
because Trump had no plan, it's hurt the United States, Americans.
Companies are losing money, going under, laying off Americans, and
that equals just America or in general. And the chaotic,
aggressive negotiations also make the world less comfortable putting up
with US as the dictator of terms in all things

(15:11):
and so many different things. And if that relationship phrase
between the famous transatlantic relationship. We could be really really
set up for interesting times because it makes them more
likely Europeans and so many people like Indonesia we talked
about on the last show where you just she's like

(15:32):
the Trade minister was like, it feels like we're going
through a labyrinth and ending up back at square run.
This is impossible. You know, these all are incentivizing these
countries to go more towards China than they ever have before,
threatening the US structure of dominance in a way that
I find truly truly fascinating. It's going to set up

(15:53):
things to be really really interesting for American power and
American positioning in long term if this stuff continues. But
really for now, all eyes till August first, and so
much of our international relations and literally down to how
much are the price of you know, eggs and meat
and things like that at the grocery store. It all

(16:13):
depends on how August First goes. Ladies and gentlemen, if
you thought zoron mom, Donnie was going to ease his
way right into that democratic mayoralship after probably pulling off
one of the biggest anti establishment upsets the left has
ever seen. Well you're probably not really thinking you straight,

(16:35):
and either way, you were wrong. Andrew Cuomo is back
today with his return to the race. It hasn't really
gone too well, but let's take a look at what
he had to say in a actual on the street video.
Can you look at that someone decided that I'm making
You know, who could have told you this guy that

(16:59):
politicians would be making these kind of street videos in
the same style as Mom naughty, but they would flop
because they wouldn't have any of the same substance. You know,
I think that was that was pretty clear, But honestly,
I didn't expect it to be his opponent in that
same race where he popularized that style. Just you know,
about three or four weeks after his victory.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Hello, I'm Andrew Cuomo, and unless you've been living under
a rock, you probably know that the Democratic primary did
not go the way I had hoped. To the four
hundred and forty thousand New Yorkers who voted for me,
a sincere thank you, Thank you for believing in me,
in my agenda and in my experience, and I am

(17:38):
truly sorry that I let you down. But as my
grandfather used to say, when you get knocked down, learn
the lesson and pick yourself back up and get in
the game. And that is what I'm going to do.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
The fight to save our.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
City isn't over. Only thirteen percent of New Yorkers voted
in the June primary. The general election is in November,
and I I am in it to win it. My opponent,
mister Mandani, offers slick sloans.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, Team Cuomo, let's go. Yeah. We seem lines as before.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
The streets where buying your first home is once again possible,
where childcare won't bankrupt you. That's the New York City.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
We know.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
That's the one that is still possible. You haven't given
up on it, and you deserve a mayor with the
experience and ideas to make it happen again and the
guts to take on anyone who stands in the way.
Every day, I'm going to be hitting the streets, meeting
you where you are, to hear the good and the bad,

(18:41):
problems and solutions, because for the next few months it's
my responsibility to earn your vote.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
So let's do this. I'll see you out there. Yeah. So,
I think the best way to describe that is a
really just warmed over from the video to the rhetoric,
to the policy positions, everything like that is a very
warmed over, kind of significantly less charismatic version of the
mom Dotty campaign to the point where it's honestly hilarious
to see. I think, I don't know if I can

(19:10):
find it here, but I did see that Mom Donnie.
Oh yeah, there he is. He responds to contribute, which
is a post that had already gotten way more likes
and way more attention here if you can see, he
puts a link to contribute to his campaign right under
this post here from Andrew Cuomo, which is already dwarfing
it in kind of in terms of engagement, just really

(19:31):
again warmed over, kind of just pale imitation of the
ideas of mom Nanny about you know, we're making affordability
this centerpiece of this campaign. Well it was too late,
Mom Donnie already did he already talked to people in
the streets about rent and housing and things like that
and actually acted like he cared and wanted to do
it because he did, and he actually does care. He
doesn't have to act. He doesn't have to act. That's

(19:52):
the beauty of the mom Donny campaign, and something that
voters are really seeing. And I think, you know, you
can look at this the authenticity behind this ad, which
has also kind of come to question here. This is
a post from this guy Garrett, who shows his email
that says, I guess he's an actor or something. This

(20:12):
seemed to fly under the raidar. I think with the
mustache and longer hair, this is a good fit, non speaking.
And so this is this guy sending this audition notice
to this guy named Garrett, who's an actor looking for roles,
and the audition is a top New York production company
seeking gentrifier slash young white man Manhattan tout strategies in
association with Bulldog Strategies, Algory LLC is looking for actors

(20:36):
to fill the non speaking rule of gentifier slash young
white man in a political relaunch ad for a top
candidate and a nasty significant race set in the streets
in Manhattan. The role will have this, of course non
unionized actor interact personally with the candidate in a friendly manner,
broadening the candidate's appeal to the younger demographic. Oh that
is just too perfect. That is too perfect. So all

(20:56):
these people in that ad that you just saw aren't
just complete, you know, complete actors. There's no one coming
up to him on the streets like there is the
Mom Donnie saying we are excited about you, we care
about It's because he is a completely fragile, completely just
shallow politician, which is again the best way to put it,

(21:18):
is a pale imitation. He doesn't have any more ideas,
he doesn't have any sort of you know, broader plan
that he isn't just kind of copying from Mom Donnie.
He's just cold and lifeless in every single way as
a politician, and people are really realizing it. This is
the newest poll for the general election from Data for Progress.

(21:42):
He is Zora Mam. Danny is up forty to Cuomo's
twenty four percent. Eric Adams at fifteen percent. There Curtis
Sliwa up or down, I should say, at fourteen percent
as the Republican side. You know, the votes are split.
Cuomo and Adams kind of fighting with each other. But
I think Zoron continues to be up big time and

(22:06):
will probably you know, really and again this is an
electric Another interesting part of this is an electric where
you turn out surgeries. Again, the lead for mom Nanni
grows from sixteen to twenty two points over Andrew Cuomo.
There so a very very big sign where this race
is going, and people are starting to gradually come to

(22:29):
terms with the fact that, you know, despite this kind
of personal vanity project from Andrew Cuomo that's kind of
supportive by an ever smaller sliver of the New York
City and kind of democratic political establishment. The i would
say bigger sliver of the democratic establishment is starting to
warm up and prepare for the idea of Mom Donnie
as mayor. We have this year from Kathy Hokeel. They're

(22:53):
inching toward an uneasy truce here. Mom Donnie has said
that hoc appieces race is disgusting and demonstrates why people
don't trust politicians. Now he's playing nice, and so is she.
He tried to be a thorn in the moderate governor's
side during his four and a half years and junior
Selby member in Albany, but after Handley winning the Democratic

(23:14):
nomination for New York City, the mayor says he's decided
to be her partner in government. Hopeful for the moment
appears on the same page and again this is like
a tough you know, hocal is trying to be Hopel's
official is that trying to be tough here to political
I can tell you just working with the governor, it
would behoove him to have a constructive working relationship as
opposed to compative or antagonistic. That just doesn't work for her.

(23:37):
And I think we've seen it in the past, just
like who do you think you are? Like, that's the
big thing. I think it is smart. I do kind
of agree with what he's saying there. I think it
is smart for mom Donnie, and I think he's very
very good at this for kind of coming off in
a way that is much more open and much more
conciliatory to people who disagree with him, while still maintaining

(23:58):
his values. I think it is a big part of
why he was able to do such broad outreach, especially
in the last month or so with the campaign and
win with the shock and win with the margin that
he did. But I do think it's also very important
that and I think it's that'll serve him in terms
of dealing with all these people that really hate him
and are just trying to make nice to him. Because
he's in a position to power. You know, he'll come

(24:19):
off much more likable, much more relatable to them than
any other person with his beliefs otherwise would be. And
I think that'll help him in getting stuff done. But
I think it's also very important here, especially as he
looks to, you know, we also have this here, we
look to hire kind of a lot more people from
the Democratic establishment and kind of outside his ecological cohort
here or ideological cohort. You know, It's also important to

(24:43):
remember that he's driving the bus. He is the one
with the big mandate. He is the one with the
people backing him, and the people that voted for him
in these kind of overwhelming numbers in the primary supporting
him big time in the general. And actually he's the
one who's making people excited in politics. Nobody else in
Democrat politics, especially in New York State, can claim to
have that sort of mandate, that sort of grass roots support.

(25:05):
And he should be the first politician, does he the
first politician that actually serves the youth turnout, serves a
non votive turnout. He should be the person, the first
person to keep that grassroots energy going into his administration.
And when he gets under attack, when he gets under
pressure from people who want and have always wanted to
see his agenda fail, which is inevitably going to happen.

(25:27):
He should use that grassroots or may to come out
and support him because he has that excitement. And he
also should be to a certain extent, and this is
the real skill is to find the line on this.
He should also be to a certain extent very wary
of people trying to dictate terms to him, because he,

(25:48):
given his win, given his mandate, should be the one
setting the chip. You know, he should be the one
driving the bus, setting the agenda, all that kind of stuff.
So you know, this is an article here in Politico
talking about how Steve Banks de Blasio's lot justsentually a
lot of old, old the Blasio hands. He's going to
to staff his administration. Mom Donnie said he talked to

(26:11):
a meet Singh Baga, a di Blasio admin veteran, as
well as my Maria Torres Springer, who had a variety
of top jobs under the Blasio before joining and resigning
Adam's city Hall. Uh, you know, apparently they're eager to
come back. You have inner circle, his inner circles, Mary
included left. He was like Emma Wolf and Mile Wiley,
Emma Wolf of Working Families Party, But he also had

(26:32):
a top leaders with a different worldview like Lisha Glenn
who uh uh joined the administration from Goldman Sachs and
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, who built his reputation in Republican
Mayor Rudy Giuliani's administration. And you know he's gonna tee
keep apparently, Mom Donnie, that that was the Blasio I
was just talking about. But Mom Donnie apparently is going
to keep. Jessica Tish, who's the NYPD commissioner, is a

(26:54):
scion of the city's richest families, and I think, you
know that's something that you know, should be fine for now.
But he again, if the political circumstances demanded, he should
not feel any sort of compunction or some sort of
u uh, you know, need to check in with people
if he wants to get rid of Commissioner Titch. He's
the most popular Democratic politician in New York State, moves

(27:16):
popular politician in New York State. He has the ability
to do things without asking for people first, you know,
Letitia James partnership for New York City President Kathy Wilde.
Letitia James is the state Attorney General by the way,
also encourage Monnaie to keep titch AOC said she'd be
leaning on him to hire an administration of extraordinary expertise

(27:37):
and experience, and yeah, so the Rodnez bishot Hermelin is
also endorsing him because he she wants to make suggestions,
do and shape that administration and try and recommend people
as well. Is also praising Michelle Wu and he can
take us out at the ball but a but a
bah Jeffrey Lerner and a to former you centator Lafonso Butler.

(28:00):
Now his new communications director, Deandra Kahn, who was a
senior advisor of thirty two bj SCIU service Workers Union,
was hired to the political team after the union backed
Mom Donnie. So I think this is going to be
good in terms of insulating from him from these kind
of inevitable attacks that are going to becoming thick and
fast from these democratic lawmakers or kind of more establishment

(28:22):
forces when he gets in office. But I think the
key thing for him to realize is that he is
driving the bus on this. He gets to determine it.
He has the mandate and he has the power. So
that's going to be something to really realize, and I
think his gift as a politician is that he realizes
that and he can kind of be all things to

(28:44):
all people, which is always a very dangerous situation to be.
But let's hope that you know, he keeps that same
idea and he keeps that same focus on those laser
focus on that very very important policy issues and uses
these relationships that he's fostering now with the city establishment
to help make that easier for him to achieve his goals,
not be manipulated by those people that he's putting in

(29:07):
positions of power now who were in the city establishment beforehand,
so that their goals get accomplished. Again, the focus is
on him. He's leader, His platform is the one that
these establishment people should be following. That'll be the most
important brahma and the most important metric to determine the
success of the Mamdani administration. We are also continuing to

(29:28):
track the fallout dominating the Magabase over Jeffrey Epstein. We
have this just in the Republicans have moved to block
Democratic effort to force the release of Epstein files. White
House has come under fire for not releasing documents related
to the late Sex offender. That's the headline there in
the Guardian. I mean, Maga brains really are breaking from

(29:53):
Trump's bs on this. And the big question is, and
I think the answer is no. Can the Democrats take
advantage of this? Because we're not going to see anything
I think come out. But you know, the really is
the question is can the Dems take advantage of this
really real, big splintering of the kind of online part
of the MAGA base that has been so essential to

(30:14):
Trump ever since he got re elected in twenty twenty four.
So here's the headline or the kind of description here
from the Guardian. Republican linemakers, we moved to block a
Democratic effort to force the release of a so called
Epstein files in your mythological trove of undisclosed information about
the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, at the center of
an eternal political war among US conservatives. Democrats have been

(30:37):
pressing for an amendment to a cryptocurrency legislation that would
have forced release of information and exhibits itemized in a
list of evidence held by the Justice Department from the
twenty nineteen child sex trafficking case where they raided a
bunch of his properties. They went to the island, they
went to the ranch in New Mexico, they went to
the apartment in New York City, they got all those tapes, whenever, whatever,
that's those things that actually did happen. But they're saying

(30:59):
trying as part of the cryptocurrency legislation, they're trying to
give it make Epstein be a part in that, clearly
just to get you know, Republicans on the record voting
for or against this. Donald Thrum's Training General Pam Bondi,
he's a full accounting of the Epstein evidence, including a
purported client list. But she changed course when she announced
that Trump administration had reviewed the evidence, concluded that Epstein

(31:22):
had indeed killed himself in jail, and decided not to
release the contents of the Justice Department that the Justice
Department said included one thousand hours of videos depicting child
sexual abuse. That said, a firestorm throughout this entire situation.
But Republicans on the US House Rules Committee voted down
the amendment that would have allowed Congress to vote on

(31:44):
whether evidence including micro gazettes, DVDs, and CDs, including one
labeled Girl Picks Nude book, four computer hard drives and
three massage tables in green, beige and brown should be released.
So you know those are the Epstein on that Epstein
files at this point, and this comes as Trump hits
them with this truth social post and that reads what's

(32:09):
going on with my boys and in some cases Gales.
They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's doing
a fantastic job. We're on one team, Maga and I
don't like what's happening. We have a perfect administration, the
talk of the world, and selfish people are trying to
hurt it all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.
For years, it's Epstein over and over again. Why are
we giving publicity to the files written by Obama Cricket,

(32:31):
Hillary Camy Brennan and the losers and criminals of the
Biden administration who conn the word with the Russia Russia
Russia hoax, fifty one intelligence agents, the Laptop from Hell
and more. They created the Epstein files, just like they
created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele dossier that they
used on me. And now my soul called friends are
playing right into their hands. Why didn't Why didn't these
radical left lunatics release to Epstein files. If there was

(32:53):
anything in there they could have used to hurt the
mag movement, why didn't they use it? They haven't even
given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther
King Junior files. No matter how much success we've had,
but lah bah bah bah, but bah blah blah, we
are about to achieve in six months more than any
other administration has achieved in over one hundred years. And
we have so much more to do, and it just

(33:13):
goes on and on and on. Essentially, let Pambody do
her job. She's great. The twenty twenty election was rigged
and stolen and that is now what she's looking into,
which is just kind of pretty incredible now, and now
he's saying they try to do the same thing in
twenty twenty four, Like this guy has one track mine
when it comes to saying things that can be you know,

(33:34):
kind of politically damaging. Here, especially with regard to the
Epstein thing. It's because and you know they are, they're
really not buying it. This post was over the weekend. Here,
this is July twelfth. I believe you can see there
on the bottom on the merits you know, I think
it's it's clear to say that despite all this, Trump

(33:55):
is definitely involved. He has a history of weird, weird sex.
I mean, he literally would talk on Howard's Turn about
how when he literally, first of all, he judged beauty pageants. Okay,
there's tons of young girls running around, and he would
talk to you know, literally on the public radio to
Howard's Turn about how he liked to go in the

(34:17):
locker room when they're changing and do a you know,
kind of quality control check. You know, this is not
a guy who you know, there's some I see like
Tucker Carls and as they're trying to say, oh, you know, Trump,
he's a weirdo. Everyone knows he's a weirdo, but he's
not that kind of weirdo, Like, come on, you know
that is ridiculous. They are lying to you about that.
And the reason, the clear reason why to answer Trump's question,

(34:41):
why no one on the democratics. And that's also the
thing I've heard a lot. You know, No this didn't
come out under Biden is because you know, first of all,
the administration was probably too incompetent to even look into that.
But second of all, it's two words Bill Clinton. You know,
they have plenty of their own Epstein ties, and they
have plenty, plenty, plenty of connections Democratic side that they
would want to keep under wraps. So it's it's very

(35:04):
very simple there. And I think he is also by
the way, Trump has a history of endless ties to Epstein,
of course, and you know he famously said to the
New Yorker magazine, you know, back in like two thousand
and two or something, that Epstein has a great social life.
He likes his girls sometimes even on the younger side.
So it is, it is really crazy. But you know, again,

(35:25):
the same goes for involvement on the dem side. Anyone
who says that both sides aren't involved is either lying
to you on purpose or is just completely partisan, partisanly
delusional and just has a case of you know, partisan
hacked brain there, either intentionally or unintentionally. That's kind of
the merit to the situation. Yes, everything's evolved, We're probably

(35:47):
not going to see a big part of it. But
you know, let's be honest here all as as our
favorite said, some of the faves have been implicated. I
think it's safe to assume we will not see anything
substantive on this anytime soon, and that most of MAGA
will fall in line. But a significant chunk of normies

(36:09):
and kind of these kind of bro voters, a lot
of people. And I was talking to my brother last night.
You know, he's I just graduated college. He's in college.
Huge numbers of people came out and voted for Trump.
Where the college bros, you know, in the frats all
around the country. He's in a frat, and he he
didn't vote for Trump in the first first place, because
you know, he was a little bit more politically engaged.

(36:31):
But there's a lot of people who were not politically engaged.
Like his friend, who I've also met, is a very
good guy. He voted for Trump on that kind of
vibe that he would get these Epstein files out, he
would stand with the deep state, and he would be
a kind of outsider telling the truth and exposing the
insiders to the American people. And now he is very
disillusioned with Trump. He is not feeling Trump at all,

(36:53):
and he sees how that is is bad, you know,
and it's it's a significant chunk of these people who's
again saw Trump as an ounsider or a truth teller.
That's no longer now, no longer true. They're not going
to count him in that front, even though he will
still retain, you know, seventy five percent of that MAGA base,
twenty five percent. You know, the Schultz comments that we
covered on the last show, that is going to be

(37:15):
a big source of disillusion for them. Some theabes have
been implicated, you know, as what's her name, Christine Pelosi
said Nancy Possi's daughter, back in twenty nineteen. This was
true back in twenty nineteen for the Democrats when she said,
it is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated,
but we must follow the facts and let the chips

(37:36):
fall where they may. But now it's true again for
the Republicans, and they are really really struggling to handle it,
and most, you know, the hardcore Magnet people are essentially
just taking a message and moving on. This is Charlie curR.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.
I'm gonna trust my friends the administration. I'm gonna trust
my friends in the government to do what needs to
be done, solve it. Balls in their hands, I've said
hole any this last weekend. So if you guys want
to see my commentary on it. That's fine. Honestly, I'm
done talking about Epstein.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
For the Yes, he's just like I'm done. I'm trusted
my friends, the administration, whatever. But you know, there it
is not is it'll it'll work again for the older
hardcore magas, but a lot of his young support where
it's gonna have a tough time with this. It shreads
his identity in their eyes. That same I net is
kind of outsider, is just shaking up in the deep

(38:27):
state that that I was talking about. You know, people
who don't care that much about the immigration, don't care
about that much about the economy, the tax cuts or whatever.
They they were really in it for this stuff kind
of first and foremost, almost the Democrats have a real
opportunity to be probing over this. You know, they can
tap into that same political energy that Trump had in
twenty three, twenty four. Even if they never do anything
in power, which they almost certainly wouldn't, they can still

(38:49):
kind of do that whole thing about you know what's
he hiding, Let's release the tapes. These people are very
powerful and they're not being transparent, and you know, you
see some normans that are already taking debate here. If
you take a look at a Claire mccaskell, she had
a little singer on this, she's a former senator on MSNBC.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
I'm saying he was close to the fire.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
He was.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
And somebody said over the weekend, there are more pictures
of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein than there are trans
athletes in the NCAA by multiples.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, that's a pretty good line there, and I'm surprised
she said that. She's kind of a generally more cautious
kind of establishment figure. You also have John oss Off
here about the on the Epstein files.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
He promised to release the Epstein files.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Did Yeah, he did.

Speaker 7 (39:39):
Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used
to party with Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
It's a pretty good point. He's got a pretty good
point on that. But again, as much as they are
making good points and it's going to be politically effective,
you know, they're kind of attacking his dishonesty as hypocrisy whatever,
and that's going to to draw some people in, but
they're failing to make that broader point about the rot
of the system and the corruption of the deep state.

(40:07):
That so many people interested in this are interested in
because of that. You know, it's not because of an
attack against Trump or an attack against Clinton or whatever
to attack against everybody, you know. So I think as
as long as they don't change the message on that,
I think this kind of stuff, it's gonna get a
lot of play within the base, but really not that
much more than that. There are some though in the

(40:29):
MAGA world, like Maggan Kelly, who are not ready to
give up and move on like Maga wants them to,
you know, I think, which I think is it was
a very interesting story here that we saw in her
conversation with Ben Shapiro and.

Speaker 7 (40:43):
Say, everybody I know says he killed himself. And then
I respond saying, I actually have my own sources who
say he didn't. And then you say, well, your sources
are not valid because they won't put their names on it. Okay,
down the list, and then we'll talk about why they
might be saying that.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
My sources are the President of the United States, the
Vice President of the United States, Cash Matel, the head
of the FBI, Dan Bongingo, the deputy head of the FBI,
and Pambondi, the Attorney General, and those aren't just my sources,
they're everybody's sources because they publicly came out inside this.

Speaker 7 (41:10):
Okay, Trump hasn't specifically weighed in on that specific aspect
of it. We've all seen the limited things that Trump
has said and tweeted on this, and Jade Vance was
calling for transparency and suggesting otherwise prior to taking office.
He hasn't commented on this so far.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
So he's not somebody.

Speaker 7 (41:23):
You've got a cash You've got Dan, and you've got Pam,
and we've already discussed that memo in full detail. I'm
talking about people behind the scenes who prior to this,
to Trump taking office. I'm not going to get too specific,
but trust me, I have high level sources who have
said they don't believe any of that any of that,
so and I'm not going to out them for purposes

(41:44):
of convincing you.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
But you're telling me name them.

Speaker 7 (41:45):
I know I'm not going to.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I don't have the authorization.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
And then you say, well, I dismiss all of that
because you won't name them.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Hold on, Megan, I'm not saying you should name them.
I'm saying they should name themselves because otherwise they are
being complicit in one of the greatest cover ups in
the history.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
That's easy for you to say.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
That, Yeah, I mean it is easy, but it is
kind of true that they should name themselves, especially if
they're coming out in that in that perspective to see
some resignations, and we talked about in the last show.
A big part of the resignations, and a big part
of the threat of the resignations that I think turned
out to not really materialize, was because, oh, this Epstein
situation is making me look bad in my media career.

(42:20):
I eat you know, Dan Bongino, Cash, Mattel, those types
of people. So I want to resign now and save
face so I can get back into the media at
a later date. But overall, here on the marriage, again,
we proved pretty much know the contours of who was involved,
why they did what they did, what they did, and
things like that. But people just need really and I

(42:41):
think are going to keep searching for the proof on
this' that's the big thing, and that's something that both
sides have really committed to never letting get out. Politically,
a significant chunk of young voters that put Trump over
the top last time, you know, will count him now.
As this same establishment finger and sink into nihilism and
check out of politics. That's because Dems have too many

(43:03):
of their own ties to Epstein to pick up that
mantle of finding the truth against the deep state. You know,
bottom line, a small segment of the population that has
sworn allegiance to either party, you know, the Democrats of Republicans.
You have people really you know, their blood bleeds blue
or red, and they can't think any other way. You know,
there's sadly a lot of people that go like that.

(43:25):
They'll find ways to blame it all on you know,
it was all Donald Trump. He was a bit best
friends with Epstein. It was all Bill Clinton. He was
on the flight logs whatever, and that's all. But yes,
there is a much deeper thing here, and you know,
Trump promised it. He took advantage of that momentum, that
anger towards the deep state that was expressed on a
ways through Epstein that turned out to be a complete,

(43:45):
you know joke, And people now who supporting him because
of that are realizing it, and you know, they see
their cover up efforts as one of the many reasons
why all the politicians are the same and why politics
isn't worth it for them. You know, people are going
to continue to out of politics for this, and of
course as they do that, the real plot, the real

(44:05):
justice for the victims of this situation will all continue
to go unsolved and unanswered. I'm sure many of you
listening to this have heard of ContraPoints. She's a very
popular lefting YouTuber, been on making videos for quite a while,
really getting popular with some very good, high quality long
form content, which is a very very tough tough thing

(44:28):
to do in the kind of content world. So a
lot of respect her on that, but she's kind of
been silent recently, and at least we're wanting to a
new post. It's in a large part because she does
not want it to weigh in on the Israeli genocide
in Gaza, and now, after long last, she finally has.
And it is kind of a great kind of schmorgas

(44:50):
board of all the dumbest takes that we have seen
from the kind of liberal left who does think that
this a genocide, doesn't really Israel too too much, but
essentially says the way we're talking about it is all wrong.
And I think a big part of it is I
think She's very similar to kind of Ethan Klein in
this respect, who cunnily enough has come out and supported

(45:13):
her because of this statement. Supported ContraPoints because of the
statement online. You know, yeah, Israel's doing a lot of
bad stuff, but all this talk about it makes me
a little bit uncomfortable. This essentially is how I would
phrase a lot of what she is saying. As you
can see here, it's a big block of text she
puts essentially out on a Reddit or its kind of
a story type format, you know. And she says, so

(45:36):
many leftist feel betrayed because I haven't made a video
on Palestine to they actually want a ContraPoints video on Palestine?
Will they be happy if I get in the bath
and pour milk on a mannequin of meagement and yawhoo.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
No.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
And it's like, I think they do want to actually
a video because a lot of your fans respect you,
they're on the left, and they want somebody who also
proclaims to be on the left have to talk about
an issue that has been driving conversation in a respectful,
well thought out way, as Consequence has done in the past.
So I don't think it's that crazy of a thing
to think here, So she says, they've been judging me

(46:13):
harshly on my opinions. I want to actually just say
my opinions. I want to put them out there. You know,
no if sands or busts about it. Is Israel committing genocide? Yes?
Do I oppose it? Yes? Do I feel angry about it? Yes?
I also feel a lot of other things. And she
says number one doom. It's like this kind of a
ten Commandment situation here, like she's handing her her thoughts

(46:34):
down on tablets. You know, I think this kind of
a dressing up presentation of your thoughts is something that
she does. This kind of very elaborate presentation of your
thoughts is something that works a lot better, you know,
on YouTube, where you have a lot of kind of
more production value behind it than just kind of posting
it on an Instagram story where it looks a little

(46:55):
bit kind of cringe and arrogant, I would say, But nonetheless,
she persists here on this. She says, the week after
October seventh, it was clear the mood among Israeli leaders
and civilians was overwhelmingly killed or be killed. It reminded
me of the US after nine to eleven. There was
no reasoning or protesting them out of it, nor was
it politically feasible for the US to withdrawal aids to
Israel on a time frame that would have made a difference. Again,

(47:17):
so is that like it's not worth advocating for? Does
it mean you're just shut up about it? Like that
is she's not really presenting any sort of alternative solution.
She's saying, yeah, the situation that we all know kind
of needs to happen is politically and feasible. So you know,
as she gets in here, she kind of stopped talking
about it, you know, so there was a sense of utility,

(47:38):
but worse misery. The leftist pro Palestin Palestine movement quickly
decided that their primary goal was not merely opposition of
the genocide, but opposition designism in general. And I don't
necessarily think that's true because if you look at what
was the first claim that was made, what was the
first call to action that was made? Cease fire now,
cease fire Now, that is not you know, an opposition
design is in general. But I think what happened with

(47:59):
is and the continued crimes against the Palestinians, more people
got into the history, more people got into the literature,
reading Elon Pope and all this kind of stuff. Reading
what was that book one hundred Years, one hundred years,
Warren Paliser and Rashi Khalidia I think was the guy
who wrote it, Like, you know, those were very popular
books about you know, October twenty twenty three to you know,

(48:23):
January twenty twenty four. People were kind of educating themselves
to speak better on the issue, and Israel meanwhile continuing
their crimes. And I think opinion hearted really quickly. And
again she puts so much weight here on the leftist
book palistide movement. And it's fair, very fair to critique
the leftist Palistine movement, but you got to address some
of the other more powerful forces in this equation, and

(48:46):
she really does not do that. She says this kind
of focus on aggressive, focus on annihilate the Jewish date whatever,
you know, she didn't say that, but opposition to the
existence of Israel as a Jewish state is essentially what
she says. She says that focus shrunk the coalition. Zionis
is a very bad category. Most Jews are Zionist. Anyone
who supports a two state solution is a Zionist. And again,

(49:08):
I think those people were showing up to march as
they were being included. Yet sure some people were shouting
them down, but it wasn't representative of the mainstream situation.
And I don't see how it's getting it so front
and center when you're talking about these insane crimes that
have been happening. They haven't really been discussed. They haven't
really been talked about at all. It was politically infeasible.
She said, what is a pathway that takes us from

(49:29):
the present situation to the dissolution of Israel as a
Jewish state? I don't see how this gonna happen without
either an entire total internal collapse of Israeli society or else,
you know, nuclear war again. No one is again, even
especially for a good portion of the time. You know,
now people are starting to wake up to it, but

(49:50):
no one at the time was for a good chunk
of the last two years was saying we need to
dissolve Israel and Israeli site again. The most common cry
out during these protests, thing the mainstreaming these protests was
cease fire now, Cease fire now, stop the genocide, Stop
the genocide. That was the call. And I think this
is something he really needs to be said here, for
this kind of manipulation of very very recent history and

(50:12):
what is to be gaining. Why is it being done?
You know, I think it's a very very fair question
to be raised here. You know, I'm not trying to
impugne her motivations, but I'm really trying to impugne her
analysis here. It just does not make any sense given
the situation. There's you know, she's essentially saying that Israelis
are going to use this has used this kind of outcry,

(50:34):
which definitely exists in some circles, this anti Israel, destroy
Israel outpied in some circles as an excuse to harden
their rhetoric. And it's just like they don't need an
excuse to harden their rhetoric. They've been hardening it since
nineteen forty eight when they stole all those Palestinian homes
in Land and committed untold amounts of massacres, you know,

(50:55):
and they have been continuing ever since. And you know
that is lead lack of understanding of the history of
the situation and just this very kind of America centric,
you know, politics debate was very caught up within itself,
and it's not acknowledging of the fact that, hey, there
are war crimes on the ground happening every day, you know,

(51:18):
and putting that front and center in the analysis and said, oh,
how's this gonna play here at home, How's it gonna
play with the broader population, how it's gonna play with
the American Jewish population, which is of course that should
be setting a concern. But I think the genocide going
on takes more of a precedence here. I may just
be me. Number three is dread. The online left has

(51:38):
spent the past twenty months distributing hundreds of photos in
videos of dead Palastinian children, And again I think this
is first of all, kind of an outrageous sentence because
the online left hasn't been distributing it. The people just
like they're passing it around and you know, getting a
kind of nihilistic, you know, circle jerk, that's what he's
kind of portraying it as as people who aren't you know,

(51:58):
really serious about this this cause, and they're just you know,
getting themselves all worked up for nothing. And you know,
the people who have been distributing quote unquote these photos,
which is a crazy word to use, have been Palestinian
journalists who are been getting gunned down every day and
want to drive attention, you know, to the world about
the extermination attempt of their people, Like, how is that

(52:21):
not how does that how do you write that sentence?
But the online distributing hundreds of photos of dead Palastinian children,
Like how do you write that sentence and say there's
nothing wrong with that? How is there not a little
voice on the back of your mind saying this doesn't
make that much sense. You know, it's just I fear
this might be worse than useless, because you know, it

(52:42):
creates a population in a consent state of blood blowing
boiling range with no consequential potical outlet. And again she
doesn't interrogate why there's no consequential political outlet, why the
Democratic Party has failed to address this anger, and why
it needs to change. She just blames the people who
have that blood boiling at seeing jed children supported by

(53:02):
US weaponry, and it just blames them for it. You know,
it is really is quite insidious in practice, the way
Israel is perceived does seep into attitudes towards Jews in general.
I don't think Jews who feel isolated and wearing in
the grand atmosphere are simply hysterical or hallucinating. And you know,
it depends on the Jew that feels isolated. But there's

(53:25):
plenty of Jews that have taken this moment more and
more every day. No Maniptangan, for example, he just gave
a big interview to the New York Times calling this
stuff out. You know, they have motivated themselves to say
Israel's actions are not in line but Judaism and Judaism
or Israel trying to claim Judaism for itself and for
its crimes is not something that we can stand with.

(53:47):
And that's something that's been said loud and proud by
a lot of people. And again, just like with everything
else in this letter or the statement or whatever, there's
been no acknowledgment besides if you three sentences about the
actual crimes of Israel and how that factors into her
interpretation of situation. So she's saying, essentially, does this mean

(54:10):
Israel should not be criticized and sanctioned. Absolutely not, But
it's something I don't want to risk contributing to. If
not outweighed by tangible benefits. So I approached this issue cautiously.
So yeah, saying her, I mean, if she, honestly, if
she were to make a video at this point, it
wouldn't make a difference. But if she made a thoughtful
video in like December of twenty twenty three about why
this was a genocide and actual productive solutions for political change,

(54:33):
I think she would be kind of solving her own problem.
She would be contributing to a more helpful discussion about
how to limit the crimes of Israel. But she, you know,
for whatever reason, decided to stay silent on this, and
then of course she has some bitterness here. Much of
the online left spent all of twenty twenty four single
mindlely focused on palistid and the complicity of the Democratic

(54:53):
politicians and sending aid to Israel. This campaign had the
following effects. Zero Palestinian lives were saved, not one fewer
bomb or bullet was fired by the DF and may
have slightly contributed to the re election of Trump. Guaranteeing
that the US will put no diplomatic pressure on net
Yahoo for at least four years and making protests against
Israel both much riskier and less effective. Trump is also

(55:14):
instantly a menalist, a menace to me and basically everyone
I care about. A perfectly enlightened being would feel no
bitter thinness about this, but I do. And then, of course,
she says, all the Paladians are the victims. I hope
we shift American policy towards the favor, but any sort
of effort, any sort of systemic effort to shift the
policy in the palac Indians favor in the face of

(55:36):
complete you know, talk to the hand, get out of
here from the party that is actually supposed to do
something about it. You know, she didn't reckon with that
at all. It's all of The first thing she turns
to is the online left, the online left, the online left,
and it's no response for the fact that during the
Democratic invention, you know, they were chanting the names of

(55:59):
or not chanting, but just reading the names of dead
Palasinian children, and the Democratic delegates have their fingers in
their ears, they said, fuck off, we don't care about you,
you know, And that is not reckoned with at all.
That is not part of you know, the ContraPoints analysis
and broader than contraboys. So many of the parts of
the Democratic Party at all, and so all these you know,

(56:22):
bitter leftists, this is the situation they have to deal
with now. How that it is the situation that was
clear in front of everyone's eyes. The Uncommitted movement said
that you are risking the election by alienating people on
this issue. We want to bring people back to the
Democratic Party, but we need to exhibit some sort of change,
exhibit some sort of understanding of the war crimes and

(56:45):
the genocide that is going on here, otherwise we are
going to be screwed. And again, I think it's really
really notable that throughout all this analysis, and you know
she's TLDR, I see the situation as bleak, intractable, extremely divisive,
and devoid of any element that could be appropriately transformed
into political entertainment. That's why I haven't made a video

(57:07):
about it. And it's just like, yeah, she sounds completely
like these kind of vote blue no matter who people,
these people who are we don't want to blame everything
on the base of the Democratic Party, but not the
people who are actually in power. And if you take
that position, it's very very easy to say that the

(57:28):
Democrat or the genocide that we are funding that both
parties are funding, the US government is funding. Nothing can
be done about it by the US, which is a
pretty dumb thing to say. That's all we have for
you today, lady and gentlemen, Thank you so much for listening.
We will have a full complete selection of all the

(57:52):
video clips from our show on my YouTube channel, Spencer Walsh.
Go check it out, Go join the supporters Club. Thank
you so much, and honestly, the best thing you can
do tell your friends about the show. Spread the word
there is another semi week, was it? The point is

(58:13):
we published enough times per week normally it's two to
three three maximum and we are a good outlook there
for new alternative, progressive, unapologized, unapologetically left wing media. So
spread the word about that. It's more necessary now than ever.
And thank you so much for listening to New Splash
