Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi there. On today's episode, we talk about how the U.S. is potentially escalating once again with Iran, the end of spirit airlines, Tucker's New York Times interview, and more. Hey, hello. Welcome back to Even More News. The first, the only, what's the rest of the phrase? News podcast. I'm Katie. Katie Stoll. That's me, I think. And then I go. You go. And then I go. Okay. Hi. And welcome to the blurst and lonely.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Fuck. Welcome. Hi. Hello. Cody. Perfect. No notes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Jonathan is also here. Uh, hi. Yes. Hello. Oh, gosh. Made it. The first mistake of the episode. But the news.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Well, what's happening right now is war picking back up, maybe. This is so confusing. It's always been confusing. There's been like a bunch of different reporting going in different directions. There was a peace plan sent by Iran maybe that we haven't responded to. Well, Trump said we're going to be what, escorting. Yeah, liaisoning, I almost said, which is barely a word. Then not necessarily. It's more like standing by the sidelines and saying, go right, go right. There's a mine right there. Trump said escorting. And then his administration said, not escorting, just saying like, hug Oman, if you can, stay closer to Oman than other places. Then Iran said it blew a couple of U.S. ships out of the water.
Starting point is 00:01:54 U.S. says that didn't happen. But now the UAE says that there was just a drone attack there. So things picking up unclear what's going on, peace talks, war talks, whatever. Brent Crude's $119.19. That sounds bad. That sounds like a big number over what WTI Brent Crude, which I'm an expert in, typically is. So I wish I had more updates or more that we could discuss here. But, you know, they might just start warring again.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Right. Tomorrow, when this comes out, it could be a complete different situation. Over the past couple weeks, I've heard around and online, there's lots of people saying, like a round's cooked at this point totally cooked out of options and this is done and no you guys have no idea what's happening over there and um we don't know what's happening next and there's no transparency etc and the guy who decides might say a thing that's happening that's not or it might be explained to him what's happening and he doesn't know what that means like he could either have been lying about the escorting or have misunderstood we really don't know he was
Starting point is 00:03:09 thinking of a very different type of escort. Or it's just that's how they explained it to him. He's like, oh, like, like we're escorting them. They're like, yeah, like we're escorting them when that's not at all what they originally explained to him. Well, but this is all happening in between him acing cognitive tests. Like he's just taken four cognitive tests a day now. He just keeps doing it, which is something they give to people who are totally normal.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah, his brains are still firing on all cylinders. I guess they're just giving him the same one. Yeah, he just has memorized the answer. He has the exact same thing every time he seems to be given one. It's the hardest test. Obama couldn't pass it. They didn't even try to give it to him.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah. Do it live. And he all, do it. Live stream it. Do it live. Live stream it. He love live stream.
Starting point is 00:03:57 He also really likes to point out that the last 20 questions, sometimes it's the last 10, but usually it's the last 20 are very, very difficult. And I really want to, I want him to do the test. for all of us live. I would love to do one of those where the numbers he rattled off 99 times
Starting point is 00:04:14 nine divided by two at 163. Oh, oh, you're that good at that? Let's see. That's a nice parlor trick if you can do that. Yeah, let's see it. Everyone, throw out numbers at him. Anyway, I mean, we have a hard time doing that. Well, we do have proof that he can't do that from the Howard Stern show when he was offered a very simple math problem by Howard Stern. And, he and his son Don Jr. could not get it correct. And now it was back in the day when he was a little more with it. Also, reports of bankruptcies amongst farmers in the United States. People cannot afford fertilizer this season.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Seems bad, is bad. Very scary. And the other point I'm building to right now is Spirit Airlines. also seems to be feeling the question. Not existing. Not existing, yes. No, Spirit Airlines is gone. You know, they had been struggling for a long time.
Starting point is 00:05:45 It's not like we can say this is the one thing, but they did say, you know, the double jet fuel prices over the last two months kind of was the final blow, which means it was all Biden and Pete Buttigieg's fault for not letting the spirit jet blue merger go through. Thanks a lot, Elizabeth Warren. for the war.
Starting point is 00:06:05 You know, obviously if the entire airline industry was in peril, like happened during the financial crisis, the government has to consider, oh, my goodness, do we do a bailout? Our country needs this for commerce. We travel all this stuff around, like, this is people's lives. We can debate whether we need, but whatever, like, that's the decision they have to make. But this is just one shitty airline. So other than the people who had tickets and are now inconvenienced by not being able to take their flights and jobs and all the people like is this something the u.s government needs to like
Starting point is 00:06:38 intervene in or point fingers at each other for like the kind of free market it's uh it's i was gonna say it's the kind of thing that like if it was a different like administration or if it was uh if it wasn't sort of tied to all of the things we already mentioned and tied to like well the war is nothing to do with actually it's not a war and we're good with it like all these sort of things then that would be the reaction from a lot of people who were like oh you didn't let the merger happen. We hate that we hate Biden, all this sort of stuff. They would just be saying, well, the company had the competition that they couldn't meet and they failed. And that's how it goes. This is an example of what they support generally, ideologically. And this will
Starting point is 00:07:20 inconvenience people, certainly since it was a budget airline and they operated in smaller cities that didn't have tons of options. I'm not saying that there's no one affected. Yeah, and again, like the people, All the jobs lost and everybody. Like it's like... For sure. I mean, yeah, everything you're saying is true. I don't personally think that we needed to bail out Spirit Airlines. I guess that it is a bigger conversation.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yes, if you're seeing the whole industry affected at the same time, the same way. I would say that you might see more of this happening, more long-term effects happening on overtime, different airlines that at this point are, more resilient than Spirit. And yes, I mean, it's wild that a bunch of people had their tickets purchased and now have no recourse and no money back. I actually think that's appalling because who are buying tickets on Spirit Airlines, a lot of, most likely people that were budgeting very carefully for that flight. Pinching pennies and yeah, trying to exactly. And it's not like you just all of a sudden have a bunch of money to buy another return flight home from Grandma's funeral. That's like four or five times as much now.
Starting point is 00:08:33 That's wild. And then ultimately, a big picture, I think, it's very bad. Richest country in the world. What are the richest, are we the richest country in the world still? I don't know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:45 A wealthy country should, is going to have a sizable population that can't afford air travel. Yeah, and I mean, as, as jet fuel continues to be doubled or perhaps more, they're going to be squeezing
Starting point is 00:09:01 tightening their little pocketbooks even more and make things cost more and like it will be nice to see kind of if if fuel prices go up enough to where there are a lot of flights canceled this summer there's a huge shake-up in the industry it will be it will be interesting to see how much demand falls and how much people are able to get by without air travel because we're going the need to decrease the amount of air travel with the climate change if we care about that. So I would love to see less air travel. I mean, I've never, this is easy for me to say because I don't fly to Europe or Asia ever. I don't have family anywhere.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I've never been anywhere. So I'd like to go places one day and I assume I'll have to take a plane to do that. So, you know, invent those electric planes that are never going to happen. Or spill the train. Just build trains. Just build some trains. We're going to have to see demand decrease. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:03 People got mad at Graham Plantner first saying we should build more chains. I was like, what's wrong with that? Jonathan, you're right. And I think that there is an interesting downstream effect that could happen. Right now I am, I live in a small tourist community, but it is a tourist community, not too far from Tahoe. Like a valley? Some sort of like region that's got tributtal.
Starting point is 00:10:27 trees. Oh. Like a signway? You live inside a signway? Yeah. Okay, cool. And we're all worried about tourism to this signway. I recently moved to the signway.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Well, what I'm trying to say is, anecdotally from tourists here in Tahoe around other places is that tourism is already way, way, way, way down. Again, anecdotally, we shall see it's not one thing or another, but this will have. all sorts of effects on local communities and industries all across the country. And I think we're starting to see that in Spirit. All of this is just information, a data point, in my opinion, about the trajectory that we're on. It's alarming. I mean, my community feels really hit hard right now.
Starting point is 00:11:16 There's businesses closing a lot, you know? I also need to point out that, at least according to CBS News and according to Spirit Airlines, they have reimbursed most customers, they say. Okay. that's really good. If it was credit and debit, I think, or just credit cards. It says the airline's still processing a small percentage of customer refunds. I think there were some debit card transactions for some reason that those people are just not getting their refunds.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Yeah. Anyone who booked with a voucher, credit, or spirit points will be determined at a later date through the bankruptcy process. I took a Spirit Airlines red eye at one point in my life. an absolutely brutal experience. Spirit Airlines really was for like men abandoning their families and their only luggage is a roll of toilet paper. Like that is it. Is that what made you return to your family? Oh yeah, you're such a miserable flight.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I was like, well, I got to come back now. Plus, I'm running out of toilet paper. Exactly. So the Spirit Airlines, from what I understand, was the first to kind of debundle things. So you can choose to pay for this bag. choose X, Y, Z. Yeah, they throw you in the trough and then they come around.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Like, would you like some? Which is what makes it more affordable for people. And I appreciate that. And I will also say that part of what undercut them and maybe all of us is that other airlines started taking that model. But they weren't as cheap either, though. I don't know. It's just kind of the gradual erosion of what you get for your flight that we've seen unraveling over the last decade.
Starting point is 00:12:57 An insidification process that is happening in almost every industry and almost every consumer product you can think of. Duffy's on it. Don't worry. We got Duffy on the case. More pull-up bars would solve the Spirit Airlines problem. That's all I'm saying. You'll be, and do leg day, and then you can run faster to wherever you're going.
Starting point is 00:13:15 A press release from the president, an official message 17 hours ago from now. So when you're listening, do the math. And if you can do it, you're quicker than him. We cannot allow there to be an election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the convenience of state legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it. We should demand that state legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done. That is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House seats in the upcoming midterms, President Donald J. Trump.
Starting point is 00:13:47 He's referring to how all these states are redistricting in the South. and Mississippi, I believe, is going to throw out primary votes that have already happened so that they can redistrict and then hold another primary, which is a really unprecedented move. Yeah. This is wild. It's May. Not legal? I mean, it's not just Mississippi trying to pull stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I mean, all of these southern states are trying their own version of trickery here, trying to expedite things. They're redistricting and they've got their marching orders. What a chaotic thing to be happening in the middle of an election cycle. We've got elections very soon. This is just mind-boggling. And it's not a sure thing that it happens. There's a lot of legal stuff to do there.
Starting point is 00:14:38 But the fact that they're trying alone is, it's chilling. It's illegal for the other side to try or do anything. I mean, can you imagine if a. Blue State was trying to throw out votes from Republicans in a district so that they can carve up the district and make those votes not count really anymore. That's, he would call it treason immediately. I can't imagine. Yeah. What's not treason these days, though? Well, he's saying things they're not supposed to say. He's like, by him saying the Supreme Court says this must be done. He's saying, well, yeah, the Supreme Court wants us to win all of these seats. And so they're giving us the permission to do that. And you're at least supposed to pretend that they're reading the stupid law and saying,
Starting point is 00:15:24 this is what the law is always supposed to say. Everyone else is pretending it. Why won't you just pretend? But he won't. Like, he's remarkably honest sometimes. And he probably doesn't know that he needs to. He doesn't know that he needs to pretend, right? No.
Starting point is 00:15:38 With a lot of these things? Well, he doesn't need to pretend. When is he ever? Right. I mean, he's coming right out with the filibuster thing. And he says, like, if you get rid of the filibuster, we could pass so much. many things we're not we won't lose for 50 years and he's coming right out and saying what they won't like he's basically admitting the republican party right now has a project that is to try and
Starting point is 00:16:02 ensure we don't lose elections at least while any of us are alive right like they're coming he's coming right out and saying it like i am trying to end the democracy thing don't care uh it's things are so awful if the other side gets power that we're justified in doing this And that's, I won't even give that much justification. I don't care. The rest of them are pretending that's not what they're doing. Yeah, but he's, you know, he's in king mode. He doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:16:30 He knows like, yeah, I'm doing king stuff. Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me. And they will let him. Can't fucking believe this is our reality. And I don't know how far they'll get with it. Just the fact that they're trying and that seems there's no breaks in any capacity that they'll. They might lose.
Starting point is 00:16:48 They might lose, but they'll probably. get farther than we want them to. What might lose, probably get farther than you want to. You're going to chip away at things, get some amount of it done. I still, well, you know what? Here's a positive thing. I still believe that the midterms are going to be devastating for the GOP, no matter what they do right now. I still believe that the midterms, it might not be as embarrassing for them.
Starting point is 00:17:18 He's wildly up poppy. He's wildly unpopular. I don't think we need to panic about the midterm specifically. Don't let up the gas. Vote. Make sure everybody you know votes. But it's beyond that. That worries me.
Starting point is 00:17:37 It's the next presidential election. It's elections down the line. The precedent that this sets. There's so much that we have to undo after this man leaves office. Yeah, if he does I'm pretty... If he does, yeah. I will let your positivity.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah, let's not... Listen, if he couldn't stay in office when he was not at 33% approval, then he's not going to be able to stay in when he's... Now, look, it's a couple years, gas prices go down. Who knows? People start liking him a little bit again.
Starting point is 00:18:10 But he does not have the political capital to keep himself. Like, I'm still pretty confident that end of January, 2029 he will no longer be the president specifically well yeah it's just like okay it's gonna there's such chaos brewing and being planned to and the midterms are like no matter what those few days like leading up to it in the day of it's just going to be a very chaotic messy thing um not even like talking about deploying like nice uh to the polls um you know there's not enough of them though to
Starting point is 00:18:48 get to like to get to all of the polling places and all of the different thing like president oh i don't even know it'll affect it in that way but just like they are going to try to do that which will cause like you know these little pockets of chaotic stuff i don't know yeah very scary there's going to be stuff that they instigate that ice instigates that then trump will point to to say like see this was stolen they want it to be a violent day and so they're going to try to do that is my concern there. I thought I was leaving it at a nice point. But, duh, duh.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Let's have some fun with clips. This is Tucker's interview with the New York Times. They're interviewing him for some reason. You've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing and ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he
Starting point is 00:19:48 affirmatively rejects what's inside that book. And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods and exulting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say could this be the Antichrist. Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exulting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows? I don't know where that comes from But I know that those words Never left my lips because
Starting point is 00:20:21 I'm not sure I fully understand What the Antichrist is if there's just one I actually tried to understand it I may have said some are asking that I'm not weighing in on that Because I don't understand it It's so funny Look I've never said it
Starting point is 00:20:35 I've never said that And it's so interesting For your instinct to be like I never said that When it's absolutely something that he would say Obviously because he did he's like, I don't know what the Antichrist is. Maybe there's two.
Starting point is 00:20:49 That's the only thing you don't know. I don't know what the Antichrist is or is supposed to be or where it's written in the Bible or anything. He must know more than I do. Yeah, that's an interesting thing to fall back on to just sort of like, I mean, I don't know what the Antichrist. I don't know what the Antichrist is. I mean, I've looked into it. I'm trying to understand it. Are you?
Starting point is 00:21:07 How hard are you trying to? It's just like, it is like Vance being like, no one's more interested in aliens than I am. Do I have anything to say about it? No, seven months later. Nobody's more obsessed with aliens than I am. Do I have anything else to add? No, I still haven't looked into it. Like, he's just saying, I'm so interested in this, but I can't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And I don't know. And I never said that. It's just he's such a liar. Also saying, I might have said that some are asking it is such a little weasily, because he knows that one of his rhetorical moves to get out of stuff like this is to say, say, well, some people are asking this, and that's how he talks about it without explicitly saying himself. But he can't keep... Funny, that's what Donald Trump does, too. Well, exactly. But he can't keep track of when he says that, when he uses that trick and when he
Starting point is 00:21:59 just says what he says. He's walking that line of being like, well, I'm just asking the questions and doing it to a different demographic here, a different audience. I think that's interesting, alone, that this was not a combative interview, but him trying to do that. to be liked, you know, if you're getting that energy as well. There's more moments from this. Also, being asked who was worse, Nick Fuentes or Ted Cruz, and it's Ted Cruz. Because Nick Fuentes is a kid. It's 27, not a kid.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Or however old he is. Interesting. Also, this week, praising Graham Platner and saying that he would like Grand Plattener to come on his show. Yeah, it's such a... He's a fraud. He's a fraud. He's a fraud.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He's a fraud. No, I know. Across the board, this is like a concerted, this is an obviously different tact while using some of the same tactics, but with a slightly different presentation, it just feels so obvious that. Well, he's trying to ingratiate himself and get back into the good graces of the mainstream media and sort of be accepted because his viewership is down. He doesn't really have a lot of subscribers and so on.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And so he is going to be a little more civil and less combative. And I mean, if you go to the, I don't know if we even want to show this, we go to the actual, like, article on the New York Times. On the top of the page, there's a gif of him in his little vest. And he's just like, and so like they are presenting him as this thoughtful person, which he is not. And they know he's not. And so even just the title, what does Tucker Carlson really believe? Why do you care? We know what he believes. Not much. He believes in continuing to be on. television. He believes in the one thing he's good at, which is getting media exposure, despite him being essentially irrelevant. Like, he, him getting, no one watches his show, but him
Starting point is 00:24:00 getting his show clips, and then we talk, this is the only relevance he has, really. I think it's really important to keep that in mind. The Charlie Kirk of everything is like, the goal is to be clipped. The goal was to have the sound bite that
Starting point is 00:24:15 gets the most traction online and gets shared. And you talk about stuff being out of context. Well, it's just really important to keep in mind that these are clips out of context and they're a piece of the whole pie for, yeah. Yeah, speaking of Scott Jennings, just kidding, we're not going to talk about him, but he is another person who is just like, yeah, clips, it's the clips. And they know why they're doing that. Before we move on from Tucker, who sucks and we don't like him, and he's a fraud. And why are we talking about him? He's not an interesting thinker. But I do think it's always relevant to point out, out, and this is the other thing about this interview, because she had the quote in front of her,
Starting point is 00:24:52 and she read the quote to him, and he's like, I didn't say that. And then they showed the clip, but they showed us the clip. If you know that there's a clip of him saying it, and you know it came from his mouth on camera, you do need to have the clip with you. It's not just enough to, and this, I feel like we've said this for like 15 years or something like that. Like, if you have the quote and you know you're talking to a liar and a propagandist, he's going to deny some of the things that you bring up. So you can't just read it to him. You need to show him. to his face, him saying it to his face. Yeah, stop. Hey, can we get that on here?
Starting point is 00:25:23 I don't have the exact time code. I have some. I do agree. And I agree in the situation. I will say at least in this situation, you know, he's seen it by now. The clip put in. Oh, yeah, but it doesn't matter if he sees it after the fact. He needs to be, he needs to say on camera.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I never said that. Her, she reads it. That ever came from my mouth. Then you show him saying it to his face and then you see that reaction because we've never seen that reaction for somebody. But the main thing I just wanted to put a pin on this with is this passage from his book, which we've read before on the show, but it is always relevant to say and always important to point out to anybody who's interviewing him or whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Quote, I was heading back to my desk with a takeout hot dog one afternoon when I ran into the receptionist. She asked me what I knew about the OJ trial. My instinct was to answer honestly just about nothing. But for some reason I caught myself. I asked her why she wanted to know. Well, she explained. Dan Rather's booker just called,
Starting point is 00:26:20 looking for an OJ expert to go on 48 hours tonight. Everyone else is still at lunch. Can you do it? Within a few hours, I was on my way to CBS in New York. His career is built on being a fraud and lying about everything and lying about what he knows.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And he admitted to it proudly. Don't interview him. Don't care about what he believes. He doesn't believe in anything. I think that should bring us into one more story for today, which is the hemorrhaging of employees over at the Daily Wire. Yeah, more layoffs to do are.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Seems like some of these media operations, right-wing grifters, are having a hard time. What happened, Jonathan, exactly? I mean, Daily Wire viewership has been going down for a few years now. Probably not just. Oh, Maga's splintering and it's over. Probably a bunch of various reasons.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And they had a round of layoffs last week. everyone this is this is a credit to her propaganda everyone's saying it's 50% of their staff and the only person who said that was can'tis owens so we don't actually know how many people were laid up to 85 by somebody and it's like you know but it's just like candace said it and now everyone's like oh daily wire laid off half their staff probably not that much but there was a round of layoffs there and it's just getting harder and harder it's unclear if this is you know gaza related now that some of the right wing is kind of fractured on that, or if it really has anything to do with ideology at all,
Starting point is 00:27:51 and if it's just like, I'm tired of this guy. I think that there's probably several things you can point to. One, he's so unlikable. Gaza stuff, the fracturing of opinions about Israel and him being very pro-Israel. And then ultimately also just the extreme hubris of a man in a company who was rejected by Hollywood, and still felt that he'll show you Hollywood
Starting point is 00:28:19 and open up the wing of his operation doing movies and TV shows and children's programming and plus the newsroom plus the podcast sphere, but all of these are big personality podcasters that are grifters in their own right and you can't trust them. And so then people leave. Candice Owen, I mean, trust them.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I don't give a shit about the drama between Ben Shapiro and Candice. Owens, but I do know that she left and she left with a sizable chunk of people that followed her. You know, it's just the playbook. So there's like a myriad of reasons, but I do think ultimately there is this hubris and this implosion happening. And I don't think that that means Ben Shapiro goes away, but they're going to have to make some operating changes here. Yeah, I think it's a combination of that. I think it's important. and also to know that a lot of these organizations,
Starting point is 00:29:19 but the DailyWare specifically, and some of this is like, you know, Milo Yanopoulos has talked about this pretty openly, but it's also something that we can bear out with, like, the numbers, and we know a lot of their audience was inflated. They did it on Facebook a lot. They would buy views and buy, like, accounts to boost their material to make it seem like they were way more popular than they were.
Starting point is 00:29:43 And so you have this inflation of numbers of like a fake audience that isn't really there. And then you have all this capital from like the Wilkes brothers or whoever is putting money into them because they're like, oh, you're popular and you're pushing my ideology. So we're going to put money in there. And that is sustainable for only so long. So like all this fracturing is, yes, it is, I think part of it. But it's also just sort of showing more of the cracks that were already there. It's a lot of it is an illusion. of like this really, really popular. Oh my God, everybody loves Ben Shapiro, the gladiator of the conservative movement and all this sort of stuff. And then you add, well, they're also going to use a lot of that money that was pumped into the company
Starting point is 00:30:25 due to this inflation of numbers to combat Disney Plus for children's programming. They're going to combat Netflix with their programming. They're going to try to do their own little, like, anti-woke Lord of the Rings. Like, those things generally, even for like regular students, aren't very profitable. It's very easy to lose money in those arenas, and it's easier to lose
Starting point is 00:30:51 money in those arenas if you're all so bad at it and unlikable, and like you also have to do reporting on your conservative blog at the same time. If you're running a streaming platform that's not just news commentary, that you're going to do mainstream, what you're arguing is the actual mainstream content for adults and children, you really have to flood the zone with it because not every show is going to be a hit and you have to also have a baseline of content that you own like movies and stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Exactly. You can feel like, oh, I can get all these movies. Ooh, HBO Max, even if I don't like their new show, they've got every whatever movie, every Batman, or something like that. And so the Daily Wire doing like four shows, one of which is like a super expensive fantasy Game of Thrones one of these things.
Starting point is 00:31:39 It's never going to make its money back. One is like a movie. one's a comedy movie and one is like some kids bluey knockoff that's not going to do it you can't build a streaming platform that way you need you need way more money than they have i mean that you got to ask those brothers for like a hundred times that amount of money you need serious venture capital if you're gonna do that even think about a return like years from now like right like that's the other thing like they need to be it needs to be sustainable and they're not going to see any return on that four years and years and years because you need to build it up and actually prove that you can make anything good.
Starting point is 00:32:14 They're not going to see any return on it at all. Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. Anyway, sign up for some more news plus plus. We've got, uh, it's like 15 bucks a month. We only have one show on there right now and it's just like a, it's a warmbo stream. It's him watching TV. Yeah. He's not commenting on anything.
