8/26/25: Krystal and Saagar Debate Abrego Garcia Deportation, Israel Double Taps Hospital, Bari Weiss Meltdown Over Breaking Points

23:57And I don't agree with your assessment that immigrants are the cause of social chaos. Well, they're a big part. That there's this massive issue of non-assimilation. There is, you know, in actuality, the studies that have been done have found that new immigrants in this era assimilate into American culture much faster, partly because American culture is so globally dominant that there's already a lot of sort of American cultural spread around the world. And so the acquisition of whatever, you know, sort of core American cultural traits are happens at a much faster clip than it did in previous generations.

24:30How can it continue to go apace when you're adding 1.5 million more per year and you have mass pockets of people who don't speak any English and which apparently it's not even a societal expectation that you can live here for over a decade? I mean, I think the reason that bothers me so much is because we have no civic understanding. If you want to motivate people to learn English, if that's a specific thing, there's a very clear way to do that. You create a pathway to citizenship that is contingent on some sort of English language acquisition, which I certainly would be OK with and I think most Democrats would support.

24:59But that's not what you want. I actually don't think that they would support it because it would have to be paired with a massive - That is not true. They have long, this has long been the standard-ass Democratic Party position since, you know, probably before Barack Obama. But they don't believe in the actual enforcement and the deportation. That's not true. Barack Obama, again, was the deporter-in-chief. Joe Biden deported more people than Donald Trump deported, okay? So it's such a canard that Democrats are open borders. They never have been. How did 10 to 12 million people illegally enter the country under the last administration?

25:31Even if Joe Biden deported, quote, more numbers, 10 to 12 million people are here illegally because of him. It's a basic fact. And by the way, it's a huge reason why the election was lost. This is the lack of grappling. And you're saying the lack of enforcement because what it comes down to it is not everybody's going to pass those stringent requirements that we just laid out. So what happens? They got to go. And when the time's for them to go, well, that's when I know, oh, everybody comes bleeding heart and nobody's ever supposed to leave. But the thing is like. And nobody actually believes in sending them back.

25:57This is where I think there is I'm confused by your position. And then, you know, we can we can wrap this up. I'll let you have the last word. We can wrap this up and move on because you don't want any immigration. But then you're also saying, well, you would theoretically support a pathway to citizenship that has English language. But then you don't think Democrats will support it. Like, what do you actually what do you actually think is the English language thing important? It just seems to me that you think immigrants are bad for society. And I disagree. No, I don't think. I think immigrants have been the probably most important part of America developing into the country that it is.

26:35I look at Kilmar Obrego Garcia and I see someone who's been a valuable member who isn't on welfare, who did is a sheet metal apprentice. He's not on welfare because he's not a citizen. Like it's not like this is my point. My point is if he were to get. I don't know what more you want from him. People who worked aren't on welfare. That's come on. Like look, 40 percent of the country's on food stamps right now as if they're not all working. Like, that's my point, is that if you have a low wage and you're unable to actually provide for yourself— There's no indication that he's some, like, you know, bottom feeder who can't support himself.

27:05Not that I even, you know, think of people in that way. So it's just, to bring it back, I don't get how you can look at this story and not be first and foremost horrified by the abuse of power by this government against people who are genuinely powerless in this system and be concerned about what that means for all of us, immigrant and non-immigrant. I think, as I've said, I take your point. And to the extent it has affected Americans, I have spoken out against it. I do think the Trump administration's actions have not only been outrageous, but deeply damaging to the cause that I actually support.

27:41And just to wrap it all together for what you were saying, you were saying, I think that all immigrants are bad for the country. No, I don't think that. I think that more immigrants would be bad for the country. When I say could I conceptually see a pathway to citizenship, perhaps if paired with stringent enforcement, very high standards for who those people were, and no more future immigration. All of these things are actually non-contradictory because what they come towards is to try and have a society which can actually hash out its differences and have a civic understanding and not be one of ethnic pockets which creates huge strife.

28:16basically and it degrades our overall social fabric, which I believe is the current system as it is right now. Deportation and enforcement is very important. Until I see any particular movement on that, that's why we shouldn't even entertain so-called pathway to citizenship talk, and especially if it were to be paired with the current endorsement of the system, which brings some 1.5 million people, new people into the country every single year. All that would do, in my opinion, is pour gasoline on all the fire. Individually, much of these things work together. Part of the reason why the Republican Party is where it is today of no amnesty and basically broke the 2013 consensus is because it seems like the amnesty always happens like it did under Reagan.

28:56And then the deportation and the enforcement continues to slow as while the immigration, the INS Act of 1965 remains in place with the current USCIS numbers that are put into place, which brings some 1.5 million people on over and over and over again with the highest foreign-born population since the early 1900s, which I will remind you was followed by a massive immigration restriction. There were a lot of problems with that bill. It was explicitly racist, and it kind of caused the Japanese to go away from us. I don't believe in racial quotas or any of that to be implemented, but it had a lot of net social benefits, actually, if you look at the way that we had assimilation over some 40-year period.

29:36And I do think that people need to grapple deeply with the fact that we have currently part of our social fabric and destruction is not just economic. A huge part of it is civic and it comes down to the fact that we have millions of people who entered this country illegally and are somehow seen as more American than the rest of us or better actually citizens because that's the way that a lot of the Democratic leaders actually even talk about them. I mean, I saw Amy Klobuchar and others. It's like a quasi-system. And actually, as a someone who is a child of an immigrant, it's offensive, you know, to say that we are somehow like better than others.

30:13I hate this whole model minority thing that people always talk about with Indians. It's like, no, that's preposterous because it's saying that like we're better than the people who are already here. No, we're all the same. And we should strive to actually all kind of be the same and to reach that understanding. That's my broad thing. You're happy to respond. Yeah. Immigrants aren't the problem. Okay. I mean, you know. The billionaire class that has rigged the system and that pits us against each other and makes it into some freaking zero-sum game that, yes, delights in paying people under the table and violating their labor rights, that's a problem.

30:45And if you want to deal with, you know, the tearing of social fabric and the, you know, societal strife, the best thing you could do is to make sure people can get a good job with a high wage and have access to health care and housing and for that to be affordable and for people to be able to feel, again, like it is possible to aspire to a middle class life. And I think immigrants have very little to do with that and generally are positive in terms of their contribution to society and helping people to achieve. This will be the central question of our time. By the way, I'm probably going to lose this fight, just so everybody knows, thanks to most of the actions of the Trump administration, which I've got my eyes very wide open to.

31:31So just in case anybody's wondering which direction, you're probably going to win, Crystal, after the Trump administration is out of power, in my opinion. My name is Arnold Bogarty, and prior to me enrolling in Rasmussen to become a nurse, I spent 16 years in the military, 12 in Special Forces as an Army Green Beret, and I was recommended to Rasmussen by a former student. She said she loved the culture. It was a family atmosphere. I went to visit the campus. The facilities were amazing. I knew before I left that that was the school that I was going to attend. Rasmussen University. Are you ready to be your own hero online and on campus?

Visit Bahamar.com today. Let's get to Israel. Yeah, so we covered this horrible story yesterday.

33:16And I am going to play the video again just as a reminder and, you know, warning before I play it that it is deeply disturbing. The IDF struck Nasser Hospital, which is the large, you know, most significant hospital in the Gaza Strip at this point. And then they waited 15 minutes for journalists to arrive to document the damage, for ambulance crews, civil defense personnel to come in to rescue those who had been impacted. They waited 15 minutes and then they struck again. They murdered, I believe it was 20 people, five of them journalists, by the way, and also, again, a number of civil defense workers.

33:55That bombing, that strike was caught on camera. Again, warning, this is disturbing. Let's take a look.

34:11So you can see them just blown apart. And the damage was utterly catastrophic. So because you had five journalists killed, number of whom actually work for Western outlets, there was a significant outcry. When this happens to Palestinians who aren't attached to any sort of Western organization, this just happens and no one says a goddamn thing. But because these journalists, courageous journalists, were working for Western outlets, there was a bit of an outcry, including some comments from President Trump that will play you in a moment. So in response, the Israelis did what they have done occasionally when they felt this sort of international pressure.

35:00They've claimed this was a mishap. Oh, we're so sorry. We're going to launch a full investigation to find out what went wrong, as if this isn't part and parcel, standard issue, Israeli government IDF policy. Here is a spokesperson for the IDF issuing a statement in English, by the way, expressing how they're going to look into this and how they're going to launch an investigation. We are aware of reports that harm was caused to civilians, including journalists. I would like to be clear from the start. The IDF does not intentionally target civilians. It has begun this war, created impossible fighting conditions, and is preventing its end by still holding 50 of our hostages.

35:45Having said that, as a professional military committed to international law, we are obligated to investigate our operations thoroughly and professionally. The chief of the general staff has instructed that an inquiry be conducted immediately to understand the circumstances of what happened and how it happened. As always, we will present our findings as transparently as possible. We regret any harm to uninvolved individuals and are committed to continue fighting Hamas. We regret any harm, Sagar. We don't intentionally target civilians. Let me just lay on for you guys, this came out recently, even by the Israeli military's official figures, they say that 83 % of the dead are civilians.

36:34And we know that is actually far below what the actual percentage of civilians is because they count all men, basically, all men over the age of like 15 as being Hamas or some sort of militant. Even by their standards, 83 % of those who have been killed were civilians. So at this point, for them to claim that they don't intentionally target civilians and, oh, we regret this mishap, we're going to look into it, we're going to investigate, I don't know who believes this crop at this point. What was crazy to me was actually the initial response was, let's put E3, please, up on the screen because this is really important.

37:12Originally, the Channel 14 in Israel said that this was Hamas's Nasser headquarters and said that they had, quote, identified a surveillance camera used for intelligence gathering, saying it was used by Hamas militants, and then fired the tank shell to, quote, neutralize the threat. the strike was approved and coordinated with senior command. They knew about it before it was being carried out. It was only after it was caught on video, basically on what, live television, that they came back and they're like, oh, actually, it was a mishap. Like, no. I mean, it is just emblematic of everything that we've seen on camera with Tony, whenever we interviewed him here, the former Green Beret GHF whistle player, is shoot first, ask questions later, if at all.

37:59and basically fire at will if you want to. Everything is Hamas. The cameras are Hamas. Any camera, there is Hamas. The degradation of a hospital or of any civilian infrastructure, reporters, et cetera, they all deserve to die. Initially, by the way, a lot of the pro-Zero accounts were saying that the journalists and or others of people who were killed in the strike were all Hamas anyway, so why do we even care? And then the IDF beclowns them because they say, what do they say? They're like, well, actually it was a mistake. after they've spent hours justifying the strike. Spinning and saying, oh, they're all Hamas.

38:33And I want to, we can play a little bit of, let's see, what is this, DE5. This is one of the women, one of the journalists who was killed is a woman who's featured in this video that was put out to support Gaza's journalist women. That's her actually right there. Her name is Ariam Abu Daga. Apparently another one of the women who was featured in this video, her husband was killed by the Israelis. And, you know, I just want to, like, put a name to these individuals. They're not just, you know, statistics in all of this, even though, of course, there's so many, you could never say all of their names.

39:15Hassam al-Mazri, who was a Reuters contractor, Mohammed Salama, and worked for Al Jazeera as a cameraman. As I said before, Or Mariam Abu Daga, she was freelance, worked with AP and others. She's an incredible photojournalist, by the way. Her work, people have been sharing it. It's just extraordinary. Ahmed Abu Aziz, freelance, contributed to Middle East Eye and others. And Moaz Abu Taha, who was freelance and contributed some to Reuters and other outlets. And, you know, the way that these outlets, even when their own people were murdered, covered this, was also shameful. But that's the reason why the IDF even felt the need to pretend like they cared and like this was a mishap and, you know, something that they don't do every single day.

39:59We are now at somewhere around 250 journalists who've been killed by the IDF. And it's really clear, like, they don't want people to be there to document their genocide. That's why they don't allow international journalists from outside to come in. The people we're talking about here are all Palestinians who work freelance for these various news organizations so that those news organizations have some sort of a window into what is happening inside of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government doesn't allow journalists in because they don't want their war crimes documented. And then they directly target journalists also like Anas and his whole crew for Al Jazeera because they don't want people to see what they are doing on the ground.

40:39The tactic that they use, documented by 972 Magazine of these double-tap strikes, this is also standard issue protocol. They will hit something, in this case a hospital, then they will wait 15 minutes for journalists, aid workers, rescue crews, everyone to gather, and then they will strike it again. It is literally a tactic of terrorists. That is a terrorist tactic. That's what we're talking about here. And they do it all the time. One last note on Nassar Hospital is all the doctors that we've talked to, American doctors, who we've spoken to after they've come back to Gaza to relay their experience there, at least the ones we've talked to recently, they all go to Nassar Hospital.

41:24That is the hospital that is closest to these IDF aid distribution sites that end up in aid massacres on every time, according to the doctors, on a daily basis. and Nassar Hospital is the one that receives most of the casualties from those mass casualty incidents. So this is a very important part also of the medical infrastructure, which has been, you know, I mean, the whole medical infrastructure in Gaza has just been attacked and decimated and destroyed. But you have a lot of international doctors from America and around the world who are at Nassar Hospital, and that's the place that they're attacking.

41:57I mean, it's just utterly insane. And if they killed them, can you imagine? I mean, yeah, I mean, imagine the twists and the turns. We'll investigate ourselves. The twists and the turns that Mike Huckabee and other people would twist them, would put themselves in if an American doctor was killed there. It really is just disgraceful. All right, shall we go ahead and play Trump and his reaction? Let's get to it. Israelis bombed a hospital in Gaza that killed 20 people, including five journalists. When did this happen? This happened overnight, today. I didn't know that. Any reaction to this? Well, I'm not happy about it.

42:30I don't want to see it. At the same time, we have to end that whole nightmare. Right now, they're talking about Gaza City. There's always talking about something. At some point, it's going to get settled. And I'm saying you better get it settled soon. You have to get it settled soon. And that means, you know, nobody can forget October 7th. With that being said, it's got to get over with. It's got to get over with because between the hunger and all of the other problems, worse than hunger, death, pure death, people being killed. It's a terrible situation over there. Terrible, terrible situation.

43:00but it's coming to a head. It's coming to an end. I think within the next two to three weeks, you're going to have a pretty good conclusive ending. So you could see he says it needs to come to an end and it will come to an end in two to three weeks. That is news, I think, to the Israeli government who wants to continue this thing basically forever. Who didn't even respond to the latest ceasefire proposal that Hamas accepted. Literally, which as I understand it, that was the most ground they had given in a ceasefire proposal. Look, they want endless war. Trump and these people, they either don't understand it, do understand it, and just continue to talk outside of their mouth.

43:42I tend to think Trump doesn't understand it. I think he takes a lot of this Bibi shit seriously. Like, I think he gets on the phone. And Bibi's like, yes, yes, we're close, we're close, we're close. And he's like, well, he told me he was close. Like, it's about the deference. You think so? I really do. Because at this point, what is the alternative for what's happening is that the alternative right now is total deference to Israeli policy, is an absolute obfuscation and removal of American leadership, of American control over this proxy state. And instead, they do what they want to do and accepting their lies or whatever their policy is without any strategic understanding.

44:21and then we had Shahhead on yesterday and anybody who says otherwise, get rid of him, right? That's it. You guys need to listen to that interview if you haven't because not only does he expose that, that you can't even diverge. He got fired for being like, guys, we're not supposed to call it Judea in Samaria. It's the West Bank. That has been standard issue government policy forever. But that was a bridge too far. Also, he was like, you know, we should, I guess we don't, right? guys, we don't support removing Palestinians. What was it, Sudan, but he objected to specifically? South Sudan. South Sudan.

44:57And they're like, no, you got to go. Sorry. You're too much of a pro Palestine activist here. This again, standard issue, pablum stuff from the Biden administration, from the first Trump administration, from the Obama administration. You can George W., but you could go all back and back and back. And now that is out of bounds. The other thing that was important to get from him is that who is running our policy towards Israel at this point? And based on his assessment, it's pretty much Mike Huckabee. It's pretty much Mike Huckabee and his aide, whose name I'm blanking on. Milstein. Milstein, who is critical in getting Shahid fired, apparently.

45:37And Huckabee, as we know, is an absolute end times psycho. He is a religious zealot who is not pushing Israeli policy because it's in America's interest. It's because he has a certain religious ideological fringe belief. And that is what more than anything at this point appears to be guiding U.S. policy vis-a-vis, you know, this quote unquote ally that we spend billions of dollars to every year in order to, you know, create and cause this absolute horror. So that's where we are. So Trump's like, oh, it's going to be over in a few weeks. Like, what are you talking about? It's almost worthless to listen to what he has to say.

46:17It just confuses issues more to even listen to what he has to say because there's zero sign that there's anything other than endless death, destruction, ethnic cleansing, attacks on hospitals, murdering of journalists for the indefinite future based on what we actually see happening, not whatever bullshit falls out of Donald Trump's mouth on a day-to-day basis. I think broadly what it is is that Trump and them view it like Ukraine. It's intractable. And by intractable, leave it up to how it goes. Yeah, you just sort of check down from it. Mike is the expert. Yeah. Exactly. And also because the part of the coalition, which is all that enthused about it, is mostly in the Democrats, they're like, eh, fine.

46:57They don't seem to understand the damage that it's doing to them broadly, not just with young people, but even with younger Republicans. And to be honest, I'm not sure they even care anymore. Yeah. Because they paid a lot of lip service, podcasters and all this stuff they don't they just don't their view is we're america bitch it's our second term we can do whatever we want and that really basically defines all of their actions if you're looking for like a through line in it they have no time for anybody who jumps off even people who have good faith criticisms like shod i mean he's he was not some mouth-breathing liberal like did you have that same takeaway yeah he was a guy who was like look i have a descending view i'm on I'm gonna try and work it to the best I can, but I mean, he wrote a tweet that said, make Gaza beautiful again, all right?

47:42This is not like, literally. He drafted that tweet for Secretary Rubio, right? That's problematic, last time I checked. Like he's not some pink-haired, code pinker. He wasn't trying to do some revolution on the inside. Exactly, he was just like, hey guys, like you know, this is a little bit, you know, this, this, and that, boom, done, you know? And I think that's the scary part about this. Yeah, absolutely. My name is Arnold Bogarty, and prior to me enrolling in Rasmussen to become a nurse, I spent 16 years in the military, 12 in Special Forces as an Army Green Beret, and I was recommended to Rasmussen by a former student.

50:03where your story starts. Speaking of journalists under attack. Yes, we over breaking points. Wow, Free Press has really upset about journalists against journalism. That's what they're calling us. I'm just going to put this up here on the screen. We can go ahead and read from their editorial. They ran an entire piece here defending their piece, quote unquote, quote, debunking how pictures of 12 Gazan children who were held up as famine victims actually had pre-existing conditions. So they quoted us from our show. Thank you for tuning in, by the way, all of you over at the Free Press. Appreciate that.

50:42They say to Crystal Ball, host of Breaking Points, our journalism was, quote, just so disgusting. True. Ball's co-host, Sagar and Jetty, chimed in to compare our reporters to Holocaust deniers, saying that a key tenant of Holocaust denial is trying to claim that many of initial victims or reported victims had other preconditions, and that's part of the reason why they died. Also true. Yeah, I mean, that is an empirical fact. I was stating a fact. And you people are the ones who are supposedly so concerned about Holocaust denial, so maybe you should learn something about it. And they say, quote, those who care about the truth will note that these children were not presented as the initial victims of anything.

51:14They were deceptively promoted to reflect the average Gazan, to suggest otherwise betrays a fleeting relationship with reality. Ball and Njeti are not alone. Glenn Greenwald, a so-called self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, argued not just for our censorship, but for our trial at The Hague. He didn't say you should be shut down. He said you should be tried. And Barack Obama's former national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, says we are sociopathic. Ryan Grimm predicts that Olivia Reingold's name will become notorious for a generation. You left out that Ben Rhodes' nickname apparently was Hamas.

51:51I thought it was so dumb that I would mention it. That was apparently what AIPAC, according to Ryan. That was AIPAC's nickname for him. So since Olivia, I'm gonna say something. I wouldn't even have, I don't have the balls to put this on Twitter, but I'll say it here. Olivia, if you're so concerned about narratives about children that are being used for political purposes, do you think you know where I'm going here, Crystal? I have a little story for you called October 7th and claims about beheaded babies who were microwaved. Olivia, I have a task. Please go and investigate all of the claims about beheaded babies and microwaving and slaughtering and raping, if you would like, because I can guarantee you, Olivia, you will perhaps find that many initial claims turned out to be bullshit and were used for propagandistic purposes to push an agenda on the American and the global community to justify a war of annihilation in Gaza.

52:46So, Olivia, that's a great story for you. In fact, you may want to look into Ryan Grimm or any of the other people who have debunked systematically many of the claims that have come out. And so, yes, I believe that since she is so concerned with journalism that she should then investigate the claims that her own news outlet has made about microwaved and beheaded babies on the day of October 7th. Also, there's a documentary put out by potentially one of your patrons, Sheryl Sandberg, about rape on October 7th. I would love to go through that one with a fine-tooth comb, shall we? And let's look at some of the rapes that have happened since October 7th, and a lot of them that happened in Israeli prison camps that were actually found on video, in fact.

53:26Barbarism and gangsterism and behavior of such sort, of which we have multiple documented interests, and yet the ones that were pushed by you were used for propagandistic war purposes. So Olivia, since I know that you're watching, you can go ahead and take that. You can even clip this if you would like, I guess. Go ahead and cancel me. I have another assignment suggestion for them since they have such a keen interest in journalism. Yes. Well, first of all, they might want to fact check their own frigging piece because we'll get to that in just a moment because they are multiple provable, like clear falsities even within this one garbage smear piece.

54:02But in addition, since you're so concerned about journalists, I'm sure you've done tons of exploration of the way that hundreds of journalists have been targeted for murder by the IDF. We just covered five who were killed yesterday. They are five among many who have been targeted for murder because they dare expose the truth about what's happening in Gaza. And that is enough for the Israelis to want to make sure that their existence is snuffed out. Not to mention, of course, that they block international journalists from being able to come into the Gaza Strip to document what's going on whatsoever.

54:42So that might be something else that you might want to explore, given your keen interest in the journalistic qualities and integrity. But speaking of that fact check, we can go ahead and put, is it F4? Yes, F4 up on the screen. Ryan, I actually didn't even read that whole piece because I can't. But Ryan did and noted that there were multiple provable falsities in this one piece that was put up to attest to their incredible journalism. some. In particular, they write this. Why have these reporters ignored credible reports of the UN and its allied organizations themselves blocking the distribution of aid in Gaza?

55:29Okay, that is not true. And why are they twisting the truth about Hamas's theft of aid? Also not true. And you don't have to listen to me. You can listen to Israeli military officials who said as much to the New York Times, hardly a pro-Palestine outlet. Similarly, why have they ignored the fact that the UN's associated body that attempts to assess whether there is a famine monkeyed with the metrics for its assessment in Gaza. This is exactly the claim that I spent quite a long time yesterday in my monologue debunking. There's this claim from the Israelis that they changed the threshold for famine measurement in order just to find famine in Gaza.

56:10They say they couldn't find a famine, so they forged one. This is just garbage. Like, this is just a lie. They use the same exact criteria in Gaza that they had used in previous findings before. There are two separate thresholds that you can meet. One of them is basically a BMI metric. But oftentimes when there is a famine, it's very difficult to get a full assessment. So there's an alternative indication that they use called mid-upper arm circumference. Now, the mid-upper arm circumference metric, in order to establish a phase five, which is the most severe level of famine, You need 15 % of the population to have met that.

56:46With the BMI metric, it's 30 % of the population because they measure different things. So you would have different standards. It takes longer for the arm to wither down to the size that would indicate with certainty that there is famine conditions. That is the same guidance and threshold that they have used for other conflicts as well. So maybe they might want to spend a little bit more time journalistically looking into some of their own bullshit claims, even within the context of this one article. Yeah. Wow. Shocking what actually scrutiny of their journalism will do. By the way, Olivia's claim to fame is the girl who did the TikTok where she read all of Zoran Mamdani's tweets.

57:28And she's like, it's called journalism. So that's what we're all dealing with here. So, Olivia, again, since I know you're watching and potentially your salary depends on your boss, Barry, conning David Ellison into buying your bullshit outlet for$250 million, then I get that you're very upset. And I just want to end on that one, which is let's just all say the truth. Here's the truth. The reason why they're the most mad, and I'm almost 100 % sure of this, is because of our segment making fun of their$250 million valuation. They couldn't really respond to that one. I am aware that that segment made the rounds amongst certain very influential people in Silicon Valley, many of people who were laughing at Barry's audacity for$250 million valuation so that she can be the CBS News pro-Israel ombudsman and con some super rich billionaire into bailing out her shitty business where she's spending vast amounts of money on real estate with a number 31 ranked podcast, a YouTube channel, which might as well be a dud, which is spending$2 a word to commission people, trying to hire people with free health or with healthcare and all of these top level benefits.

58:46She needs a little bailout there. It's the pro-Israel bailout that she needs from Larry Ellison's son. And so perhaps, maybe, that editorial and sniping had something to do with that. So sorry, Barry, because the thing is, as we've said here repeatedly, we want her to sell for$250 ,000 because it means you and I are filthy rich on paper, if that's the case. So Barry, we wish you nothing but the best, all right? I've always wanted to be worth$100 million on paper, or at least go around telling people. So that's only possible if you paved the way for us. So please, Barry, please, go around. We're cheering for you, all right?

59:20just so I can tell people I'm a centimillionaire on paper. All right. So with all of that, let's go ahead and get – no, we're done. We're going to do the AMA now. Sorry. Thank you guys so much for watching. Ryan and Emily will be in tomorrow. Sagar and I will be back on Thursday, and we'll see you all then.

59:4816 years ago, I started working as a CNA in the hospital. I loved it. On the day I decided to enroll in the nursing program at Rasmussen University, it was afternoon, my 35th birthday. I was hanging out with a friend, and they had just questioned me what I was going to do with this next chapter of my life. I immediately had said, I want to go to nursing school. So I actually had contact information from an advisor at Rasmussen, contacted her, and actually ended up starting like three weeks later. My name is Cherish Adams, and I'm a Rasmussen University graduate. Learn more at rasmussen.edu. Across America, money is being abandoned.
