00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Dr. It doesn't matter who the host is. Oh, I know that and so do you. It does not

7
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,400
matter who the host is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are.

8
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:39,520
Anyways, today is Tuesday, January the 7th of 2025, day number 7th of the year,

9
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,480
and only 358 days left to go. We are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios

10
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,360
in Orlando, Florida, and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and

11
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,480
hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there. Like seriously,

12
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:07,520
over there. Maybe? Radio Big. Streaming 24-7 at RadioBig.fm. Yep, hanging out with our

13
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,000
friends at RadioBig.fm because that is what we do. That is how we hang. That is

14
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,520
how we bang. So yes, how are you? How are things? How are things coming about for

15
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
you on this lovely Tuesday? You know, it's always kind of a good time when you and

16
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,960
I get to hang out and do our stuff. There is no doubt about that. So anyways, as we

17
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,400
are going through the thing, how was the last 24 hours been for you? Did you hang

18
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,400
out last night on Netflix as WWE joined the world of Netflix? It was definitely

19
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,600
interesting time. After the Logan Paul Mike Tyson fight, there was definitely no

20
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,480
buffering issues, that's for sure, as I was taking a look around last night. So

21
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,320
yeah, good times there. But anyway, so let's talk real quick. Let's talk about

22
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,040
what our show is about. Let's do, let's do some of that stuff because I think

23
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,680
that's going to be important. So our show consists of safety in the news, news

24
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,360
and safety. It's kind of how it's always been in regards of what the hell we do

25
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,880
around here. So with that being said, if you're ready, I'm ready for us to talk

26
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,600
about a little bit about everything of regards to what we do. If you interact

27
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,600
with our show call in radio.com. We'll kind of get you there in regards of

28
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,720
everything that's going on. Kind of a simple process of going through

29
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,880
everything. As we go through it, you get to be able to text video chat or audio

30
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,520
chat with us. However, you want to do all that kind of great stuff. So as we go

31
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,000
through our things today, we talk about safety in the news, news and safety. I

32
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,280
bring in some professional broadcasters in regards of what they talk about with

33
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:44,480
everything going on. So if you're good with it, why don't we start talking right

34
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,080
away about what the hell was trending in the overnight? Here is what was

35
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,080
trending rated R safety show. Okay. So as I take a look at the trends at the end

36
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,880
of the end, the new report sheds lights on the misinformation tools on Tik Tok

37
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,960
and an Olympic medal hits the auction block. We'll talk about that as we get

38
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,000
into the shit list. Also, Nicki Minaj avoids a warrant for now and skip

39
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Bayless gets sued. We'll talk about that as we get into showbiz. Also, Nikki

40
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,600
Glasser reflects on her hosting gig and sunny hosting, a spews a few thoughts on

41
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,240
the anniversary of the January six chaos at the Capitol. We'll talk about the

42
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,200
details and that is beginning to casting calls and also glass, but not

43
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,720
least of Megan Markle.

44
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,760
How to live like Megan Markle. We'll talk about that if you want to do that. Do

45
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,120
you want to live like Megan Markle? I mean, that's kind of a weird thing to

46
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,720
live like. I mean, I wouldn't you just want to live like yourself. I mean, I

47
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,960
don't know a lot of stuff going on in regards of when we talk and do some

48
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,480
stuff, but hey, that's, that's neither here nor there, but this things that we

49
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,040
talk about in general, I guess.

50
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,600
So with that being said, if you're good, I'm good. And I think that we should

51
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,800
probably move in to bring in our professional broadcasters because

52
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,500
they're ready. They're sitting in waiting, just wanting to go through the

53
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:15,240
stuff today in regards to that. So if you're good, oh, by the way, before I

54
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,560
forget, do the popular duper popular requests. And I forget sometimes to take

55
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,600
this out to check this out today on a safety FM with J Allen, you know, which

56
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,360
is the podcast version of some of the stuff that we release. We're doing an

57
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,160
ask me anything.

58
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,040
Kind of went through some of that stuff.

59
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,600
So if you're good, so I'm good. So and we can move. So you get it. Okay, cool.

60
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,680
So let's do this. Let's go ahead and bring in our people from feature story

61
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,480
news because they're waiting ready to go in regards to telling you about the

62
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,040
news. So let's get them in right now.

63
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,360
Here is the news on the radio safety show from feature story news in New

64
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Delhi, I'm Neha Punia, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he's

65
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,720
stepping down as the leader of the country in his party after nearly a

66
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,600
decade as prime minister. He said he would remain in both roles until his

67
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,160
replacement has been chosen through a party election. And Trump has reacted by

68
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,120
saying that Canada could become America's 51st state. North America

69
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,800
correspondent Kate Fisher has more

70
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,800
the political upheaval comes as Canada is grappling with how to deal with us

71
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,760
President elect Donald Trump's pledge to impose crippling tariffs on all

72
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Canadian imports. The two countries are each other's biggest trading partners.

73
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,760
In his resignation speech, Mr. Trudeau said that he is a fighter, but that

74
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,960
internal battles within his party mean he can't be the leader in the next

75
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,280
election. He's faced weeks of mounting pressure from inside his party's ranks

76
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,360
calls for his resignation grew after Christie a freelance his deputy prime

77
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,960
minister and finance minister resigned from his cabinet last month accusing

78
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Trudeau of being more focused on quote, costly political gimmicks than the

79
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,680
threat posed by the incoming Trump administration. Kate Fisher, Washington

80
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Nippon Steel and US Steel are suing the Biden administration over the

81
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,720
president's decision to block the Japanese companies proposed takeover of

82
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,840
the American firm. This comes as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is

83
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,720
visiting Japan. Rebecca Bundon has more. The companies in the lawsuit say that

84
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,240
US President Joe Biden unlawfully blocked Nippon Steel's almost $15 billion

85
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,080
bid for US Steel. They want the court to overturn the decision so that they can

86
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,400
have a fresh national security review. The companies have said that the move

87
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,000
was political as Biden cited the need to protect national security and supply

88
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,720
chains when he blocked the deal. Nippon Steel's chief executive on Tuesday said

89
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,320
that the acquisition would be beneficial for both nations and that it was

90
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,160
determined to pursue the acquisition. The issue cast a shadow over Secretary of

91
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,600
State Anthony Blinken's visits in Japan on Tuesday with Tokyo having said that

92
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,920
it could impact future investments. Rebecca Bundon, Tokyo. A magnitude 6.8

93
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,200
earthquake struck near one of Tibet's holiest cities. The China Earthquake

94
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Network Center has said powerful tremors were also felt in Nepal and across

95
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,120
North India. Laura Westbrook is more. The quake struck at around 9.05 a.m.

96
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,680
local time with a depth of 10 kilometers at its center, according to the China

97
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:28,760
Earthquake Network Center. Tremors were felt some 200 kilometers away in

98
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,040
Nepal's capital Kathmandu, where residents ran from their homes, with

99
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,000
areas in the mountains near Mount Everest also rattled by aftershocks.

100
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,760
People in the northern Indian state of Baha also felt the quake, but officials

101
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,280
there said so far there have been no reports of damage. Laura Westbrook,

102
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,800
Hong Kong. From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.

103
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,640
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, growing frustration in Europe over

104
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,960
Elon Musk's continuing interference in the continent's affairs. Over the

105
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,280
weekend, he kept up a blitz of messages over his social media platform,

106
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,880
targeting the government of Keir Starmer in Britain for more criticism, even

107
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,600
going after a politician long considered a Musk ally, Nigel Farage of Reform UK.

108
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,680
He's also sown chaos in Germany, where the richest man in the world is

109
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:23,880
aggressively promoting the far right AFD in next month's elections. How should

110
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,560
European governments respond? It's a very hard question to answer because

111
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,680
there's almost no precedent for it. Arthur Snell is a former British diplomat

112
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,320
and host of the podcast Behind the Lines. We've certainly got lots of case

113
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,520
studies of countries where we have bad relations being perfectly prepared to,

114
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,080
you know, say disobliging things about us. But Musk is, let's not forget, he's

115
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
got a government role. He might be the richest man in the world, and everyone

116
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,280
knows he's a big businessman, but he's got his own role in Trump's government,

117
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,200
the Department of Government and Efficiency. We've seen lots of people in

118
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,200
this country already say that Keir Starmer or someone from the UK government

119
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,280
needs to formally respond. The issue there is that no one wants to annoy

120
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Trump in the phase where Musk appears to be right inside his inner circle.

121
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,160
How long will the bromance between Trump and Musk last? We don't know, but it must

122
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,920
definitely be coming under strain. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

123
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,280
The main news again. Trump renews his offer of making Canada America's 51st state

124
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,040
after Justin Trudeau announced he was stepping down as the leader of the

125
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,680
country and his party. A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck near one of Tibet's

126
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,760
holiest cities, with tremors felt across North India. North Korea claims it fired

127
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,360
a new intermediate-range ballistic missile tipped with a hypersonic warhead,

128
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,520
says it will help contain rivals. And that is the latest Feature Story News,

129

This show is almost as enjoyable

188
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840
as hearing the sound of the toilet flush.

189
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Rated R safety show on Safety FM.

190
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Okay, so at least it's enjoyable to some extent, I guess,

191
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,600
is when it's all said and done

192
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,880
and we're starting talking about it.

193
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,500
Anyways, currently 17 minutes past the top of the hour

194
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,040
as we are hanging out and talking and doing

195
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,000
all the fun stuff that we get to do, no doubt about that.

196
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,320
Anyways, take a listen to this, a bronze medal.

197
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Awarded to an identified female wrestler at 2024's

198
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,520
Paris Olympic has hit the auction block.

199
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,720
The RR Auction is selling the medal

200
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,360
as part of the Olympic memorabilia.

201
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,840
As of Monday, there were at least 16 bids.

202
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,840
The most recent was worth $22,987.

203
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Other items include medals from past games

204
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,360
and torches used during the various opening ceremonies.

205
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:10,000
If you wanna see more about it, go to RR Auctions.

206
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,240
That will give you some more info about what is going on.

207
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,900
That is for sure.

208
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,960
Anyways, parting shots, President Joe Biden on Monday

209
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640
issued an order to ban new oil and gas drilling

210
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,360
along with an estimated 625 million acres

211
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,820
of American coastline.

212
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:31,600
The president lawyer suggested to an obscure 1953 law

213
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,600
that gives power to unliterize, protect these areas

214
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,360
from energy development and incoming Trump administration

215
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,680
won't necessarily be able to undo

216
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,160
the environmental protections.

217
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,440
Former President Barack Obama used similar arguments

218
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,480
in 2016 that Trump was also unable to stop

219
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,880
in his first term for similar procedural reasons.

220
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,160
The move comes as Donald Trump has less than two weeks

221
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,040
before taking office and making good

222
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
on his aggressive campaign promise

223
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,400
to boost domestic energy production

224
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,400
and have the cost of energy by the end of his first year.

225
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Now remember he said that during that time

226
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,740
that he was going to have energy costs down by half

227
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:19,760
during his first year, which I mean,

228
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,320
let's just be realistic, that's a bold prediction.

229
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,460
I mean, I don't care who you are coming in or not, whatever.

230
00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:27,740
I mean, half.

231
00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:30,560
Now keep in mind that there is some thought process there

232
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,200
that if you bring everything down in regards of energy costs,

233
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,800
everything else should be reduced in price.

234
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,840
So we'll see what happens.

235
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,080
I mean, hopefully the guy is spot on on what he's saying.

236
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,520
I'm just saying, I think it's gonna be a difficult task

237
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,680
regardless on how you look at it.

238
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,620
So there you go.

239
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:49,640
Anyways, a follow-up, Nicki Minaj will remain free

240
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,800
for the time being Wayne County prosecutors

241
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720
denied a warrant request from Detroit police department

242
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
for the wrapper arrest due to insufficient evidence

243
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,520
in relation to the recent incident

244
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,660
involving a former tour manager.

245
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760
A previous reported Brandon Garrett

246
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,300
filed a lawsuit against Minaj claiming

247
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:10,160
that she got aggressive with him

248
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,480
during a tour stop in Detroit last year.

249
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,240
He is suing her for assault, battery

250
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,960
and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

251
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,880
This is according to DMZ.

252
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,840
Now explain that last one to me.

253
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,020
I wanna have a better understanding there.

254
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,080
Emotional distress, so there you go.

255
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,920
I don't know.

256
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760
I mean, it's an interesting time, that's for sure.

257
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Anyways, a former Fox sports hairstylist

258
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,240
is suing Skip Bayless for sexual misconduct

259
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,400
and other workplace transgressions.

260
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Notion Farahi, who worked at the network

261
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960
from 2012 to 2024, accuses Bayless

262
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,520
for making inappropriate comments

263
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,520
and offering her $1.5 million to have sex with him.

264
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Bayless, who co-hosted Skip Enchanted,

265
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,640
undisputed from 2016 to last August,

266
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,640
would also allegedly give Notion lingering hugs

267
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,720
after haircuts.

268
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800
A Fox executive at Fox Sports One,

269
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,960
Joy Taylor, are also listed in this lawsuit.

270
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,640
This is according to People Magazine.

271
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,720
Now, I don't know.

272
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,400
I mean, it is a lawsuit.

273
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,000
Now, I'm kinda interested on that.

274
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,440
How do you get to the $1.5 million?

275
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,880
How does that become an offer?

276
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,080
I'm being serious.

277
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,320
I don't understand some of these things sometimes

278
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,160
in regards to how this works.

279
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,360
So take a listen to this as Hoda

280
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,120
wraps up her final week on Today.

281
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:39,080
Her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager,

282
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,880
revealed who will fill in the vacant seat.

283
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,920
Starting next week, Hager will be joined

284
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,920
by actress Taraji Henson, Eva Longoria,

285
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,960
and Kiki Palmer in what will be known as

286
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,320
Today with Jenna and Friends.

287
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,880
Going forward, yeah, it's going forward,

288
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,000
the morning show will feature rotating a roster of co-hosts

289
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,040
until a permanent decision is made.

290
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,960
Hoda has been with Today for 17 years,

291
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,600
but spent a total of 25 years at NBC.

292
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,120
You know, I have to tell you,

293
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,080
ever since the Matt Lauer thing,

294
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760
it seems like that show has had a hard time

295
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,320
kinda getting their stuff together.

296
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,280
And I'm not picking on the show itself,

297
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,320
it's just that other show that's on ABC.

298
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,480
What is it, Good Morning America?

299
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520
I think it's Good Morning America.

300
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,720
Seems to have picked up some steam.

301
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,400
And I'm not saying when led to the other,

302
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,440
but it seems like it had some major impact

303
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,760
on what they had going on.

304
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,960
And I'm just throwing that out there.

305
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,080
I don't know how much you care about those news wars,

306
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,960
but that's just one of those things that we talk about,

307
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,800
that's for sure.

308
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Anyways, it's been 14 years since he picked up his wand,

309
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800
but Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe

310
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,720
is still reaping the benefits.

311
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,240
According to The Sun, Radcliffe has grossed

312
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,640
nearly 100 million euros, about 103 million dollars,

313
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,880
and his career sings apart of the wizarding films.

314
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Meanwhile, he is set to return to the silver screen

315
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,120
later this year in Now You See Me 3.

316
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Really, Now You See Me 3?

317
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,360
Hold on, I didn't even know that they were making

318
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,760
another one of those movies.

319
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Because if you watch part one,

320
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,520
and then you went and watched part two,

321
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,440
you knew that part one made no sense

322
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,560
because part two on how they try to tie it in together.

323
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,840
I'm just saying.

324
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,120
So I'm kind of shocked that they're coming up

325
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:34,040
with a third part, but hey, that's neither here nor there

326
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,600
in regards of what is going on.

327
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,760
So maybe that's something to think about as we are talking.

328
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,640
What else do we have?

329
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,480
Let's see.

330
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,240
Let's talk about the shit list stuff,

331
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
because maybe this is gonna be some stuff to focus on.

332
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,760
On Friday, the Supreme Court will hold an emergency hearing

333
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,760
to determine, let's see, the constitutality

334
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,680
of the law signed by President Joe Biden

335
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
that would force TikTok to shut down on January the 19th

336
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,840
unless it sold off.

337
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840
A new report from the University of Rettig

338
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,320
suggested the fears of the app being weaponized

339
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,080
by the Chinese Communist Party,

340
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,720
who control information that are indeed quite valid.

341
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,280
The study argues that TikTok suppresses content

342
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,360
that is critical of China's human rights abuses

343
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,920
and troublesome history,

344
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,360
including the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

345
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:29,680
The research also suggests that TikTok users

346
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,520
have developed a more favorable view of China

347
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,240
as travel destination.

348
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
One study author tells the Free Press

349
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,040
that I think that the Supreme Court hearing now

350
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,280
isn't about whether or not

351
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,160
dealing with the hypothetical threat.

352
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,520
The Supreme Court hearing is about whether

353
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,760
they're going to allow this to continue this indoctrination.

354
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Also worth noting, while the study clarifies

355
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,480
that TikTok manipulates the content algorithm,
