the latest twist in the will they won't
[2]
day story that everyone is talking about
[4]
elon musk and twitter it's the hottest
[8]
and messiest relationship drama this
[9]
side of riverdale and it looks like
[12]
after weeks of flirtation and fighting
[14]
the new couple has officially done the
[16]
deed now it is official elon musk has
[19]
bought twitter for approximately 44
[23]
billion he's going to be paying each
[25]
share of twitter 54.20
[30]
cents in a statement released by the
[32]
company mr musk said free speech is the
[35]
bedrock of a functioning democracy and
[37]
twitter is the digital town square
[40]
where matters vital to the future of
[42]
humanity are debated this is a dramatic
[44]
turn of events from earlier this month
[46]
when twitter was set to decline musk
[48]
offer adopting a so-called poison pill
[50]
to block him that's right people twitter
[53]
said it would never sell to elon musk
[55]
and then he produced the cash and
[57]
they're like all right we'll sell
[59]
yes i guess they found that edit button
[61]
after all
[63]
it's actually kind of a historic moment
[64]
this is the first time anyone at twitter
[66]
has changed their mind about anything
[68]
well done
[70]
i feel like twitter was always going to
[71]
sell to elon though right they just
[72]
couldn't be too eager about it you know
[74]
it's like a like a husband and a wife
[75]
was like ah i am not going to that
[78]
wedding forget it it's not going to
[80]
happen and then three months later it's
[81]
like how does my bow tie look how does
[83]
it can it looks good do you think it
[84]
does
[86]
i honestly don't know why elon would
[87]
want to own twitter all right it just
[89]
doesn't seem like a fun place to
[90]
supervise right now you know it's like
[92]
buying jurassic park after the power
[94]
went down and the cages are opened
[96]
yeah you're going to spend a lot of time
[97]
replacing jeep windshields that's all
[99]
i'm saying
[100]
but the truth is look in many ways this
[102]
is a really smart move by elon musk
[104]
because wealthy men know
[106]
the value in owning publishing platforms
[109]
yeah it's why jeff bezos bought the
[111]
washington post it's why rupert murdoch
[113]
bought the wall street journal it's why
[114]
confucius owns those fortune cookies
[116]
yeah yeah because you see then he knows
[118]
that none of us will play his lucky
[120]
numbers in the lotto that's genius
[123]
so you see by buying twitter elon musk
[125]
gets to own one of the most culturally
[127]
influential publishing platforms in the
[129]
world i mean remember this think about
[131]
it twitter is how the arab spring took
[133]
off right black lives matter blew up on
[135]
twitter the metoo movement started on
[138]
twitter trump used twitter to turn
[140]
himself from a reality show joke into
[142]
the 45th president of the united states
[144]
and a joke
[147]
so owning twitter gives you more power
[149]
than the drugstore employee with the key
[150]
to the deodorant shelf yeah
[153]
yeah you want to smell fresh you best
[154]
not piss off curtis don't play around
[157]
i'll shut you down walk around smelling
[158]
musty
[160]
so here's the thing look whether you are
[162]
for elon musk or against him you've got
[164]
to admit it is pretty crazy that one man
[167]
is now in control of all of that because
[170]
before this jack dorsey didn't own
[171]
twitter a lot of people think he didn't
[173]
know he had two percent of the shares
[175]
and even a ceo he still had to answer to
[176]
the board and the board still adds
[178]
answers to the shareholders and twitter
[180]
itself still had to answer to the sec
[181]
but now as a private company it's just
[184]
elon musk yeah everything that happens
[186]
on twitter from now on is up to him and
[188]
also whatever strain his weed guy gives
[190]
him that day
[192]
i'm just saying if he gets the wrong
[193]
sativa there could be a race war people
[195]
prepare yourselves
[195]
[Applause]
[197]
like this is the thing whether it's a
[199]
billionaire you like or a billionaire
[200]
you hate as a society i think we should
[202]
spend more time interrogating how easy
[204]
it is for billionaires to shape our
[207]
world in their favor just think about it
[210]
you like it now you don't like it now
[211]
but should they be able to do it i don't
[214]
know but let's move on from twitter to a
[216]
real battlefield the invasion of ukraine
[219]
since before the invasion began the
[220]
united states has tried to put pressure
[223]
on russia using economic sanctions which
[225]
is basically taking away your allowance
[226]
but for countries and the us government
[228]
has cast a wide net it's gone after
[230]
russian officials oligarchs companies
[232]
banks and of course vladimir putin
[234]
himself but it turns out there's one
[236]
high-profile russian
[238]
who has somehow avoided becoming a
[240]
target a new report explains why the u.s
[243]
has so far refused to sanction vladimir
[246]
putin's girlfriend
[248]
and the mother allegedly of his three or
[250]
three of his children the us government
[252]
has considered but then pulled back on
[254]
sanctioning a woman long rumored to be
[256]
putin's girlfriend the russian gymnast
[258]
alina cabava this is something that i
[260]
was deemed so sensitive that they
[262]
decided to hold off because they
[264]
believed that putin's response could be
[267]
so irrational so angry
[269]
that there would be some sort of
[271]
backlash
[272]
wow this is interesting
[275]
the u.s government has sanctioned
[276]
everyone except
[278]
putin's girlfriend
[280]
i guess they watched the oscars and they
[281]
were like maybe we should stay away from
[283]
spouses
[286]
we played safe
[289]
and and and before we get into the
[291]
sanctions or not sanctions am i the only
[292]
person who shocked that vladimir putin
[294]
has a girlfriend am i the only one
[296]
like if there's any man out there who
[299]
has some red flags girl let me tell you
[301]
about vlad
[303]
yeah i know some people like a bad boy
[304]
but this is next level
[306]
like there's bad and then there's
[307]
genocide okay
[309]
also putin must be relieved that the us
[311]
is not sanctioning his girlfriend
[313]
because let's be honest sanctions take a
[315]
relationship to a whole new level you
[317]
know that puts a lot of pressure on the
[318]
relationship yeah i always tell my
[320]
friends sanctions in a relationship oh
[322]
yeah it's a lot of pressure yeah
[325]
i'm sure putin was relieved you know he
[326]
can't have america being more serious
[328]
about his relationship than he is
[330]
can you imagine how pissed his
[331]
girlfriend would be he's just like vlady
[333]
how come america treat me like your wife
[336]
but you still will not let me keep
[338]
toothbrush at kremlin huh
[339]
[Applause]
[345]
and finally let's move on to some
[347]
entertainment news
[348]
you probably know netflix as the service
[350]
with great shows that get cancelled just
[352]
when you become a fan
[354]
and also the home of the saddest
[355]
episodes of arrested development ever
[358]
but right now some of netflix's biggest
[361]
hits are actually imports from other
[363]
countries and one of the hottest series
[365]
on netflix right now is a reality show
[368]
that is beloved in japan
[371]
but has americans a lot more divided
[373]
japanese game shows have never been
[375]
known for their subtlety but one new
[378]
offering on netflix has jaws dropping
[381]
old enough is an unscripted series
[384]
parents sending their two to
[386]
five-year-old children to run errands
[388]
from grocery shopping
[391]
to dropping off dry cleaning or
[393]
squeezing fresh juice netflix calling
[396]
old enough the most wholesome show
[398]
you've ever seen but the internet isn't
[400]
convinced um how is abandoning a tiny
[404]
child to cross a busy road wholesome it
[406]
gave me anxiety
[408]
sure it was cute but i'm not sure that's
[410]
great parenting and while the concept
[412]
might seem bizarre to western audiences
[415]
the show has been running for 30 seasons
[417]
in japan japan is very different than
[420]
the u.s neighborhoods are more
[421]
pedestrian friendly and the culture is
[423]
more trusting of kids in japan parents
[426]
chaperone their 10 and 11 year olds on
[428]
just 15 percent of trips compared with
[430]
65 percent here some parenting experts
[433]
think american audiences can learn from
[435]
the show it's a little nerve-wracking to
[437]
let your kids go but when you do they
[440]
will just impress you
[442]
or they'll disappoint you
[445]
there should always be an awe
[448]
but yeah one of netflix's most popular
[450]
shows and easily one of my favorites is
[452]
old enough which is all about kids doing
[454]
things for themselves and let's be
[455]
honest i mean that's the best kind of
[456]
kid you know it's like having a
[458]
self-cleaning oven but it's a child
[461]
and i agree i absolutely agree that kids
[463]
should have more freedom than they do
[465]
this american obsession with protecting
[468]
kids can actually mess with their heads
[470]
like think about parents in america will
[472]
leash their kids but then let their dogs
[474]
run around free
[476]
your kids should never look at your pets
[477]
and be like that lucky bastard
[482]
i don't care what anyone says men
[483]
american parents are overbearing you
[485]
won't let your kids walk down the street
[486]
by themselves but then inside the house
[488]
they just hand them an ipad and ignore
[489]
them all day huh just be like mommy will
[491]
you reach me no no no no shh not now i'm
[494]
tweeting about how bad these japanese
[495]
parents are go on here take the ipad go
[498]
on youtube and learn about who really
[499]
did 9 11. go on go on
[502]
i don't get the anxiety people feel
[503]
watching the show yes these kids are
[505]
running errands yes but guys
[507]
there's a whole camera crew nearby
[510]
they're like they're by themselves no
[511]
there's a camera crew
[512]
if something was about to happen that
[514]
was bad they'd step in
[516]
you know it's not like a nature
[517]
documentary where they have to stand by
[518]
and let the tiger kill the gazelle
[522]
and now the windowless van approaches
[526]
and absconds with little mikey
[530]
as the sun sets on main street
[534]
the circle of life is complete
[537]
all right that's it for the headlines
[540]
but
[542]
before we go to a break
[543]
let's check in on the stock market with
[545]
our very own finance expert michael
[547]
costa everybody
[553]
things are looking crazy michael yeah
[555]
what is happening with the market today
[556]
well i am
[558]
absolutely crushing the market okay
[560]
and i got a hot tip for you and i got a
[562]
hot tip for you so let's get into it
[564]
actually actually before i do that the
[566]
japanese game show yeah i mean that's
[568]
unreal right you know i mean i know
[570]
american adult children who can't
[571]
execute those tasks you know what i mean
[574]
i mean but parents you got to be careful
[576]
sending your kids out to do errands i
[578]
mean i remember when i was a kid and my
[580]
dad asked my 25 year old sister to go
[582]
get the family orange juice she drove to
[584]
mexico and joined a cult you know what i
[586]
mean
[587]
which reminds me christy if you're
[589]
watching this uh
[592]
we still need orange juice back at the
[594]
house so
[595]
look i'm
[598]
okay
[599]
trevor i'm i'm so thankful this show
[602]
takes place in japan yeah you know
[604]
imagine a place like south africa where
[605]
the kids would have to watch out for all
[607]
the giraffe in the street or no no no no
[610]
no no
[611]
no we have giraffes but we don't have
[612]
them in the streets
[614]
because you don't have
[617]
dude don't streets
[617]
ashamed you're doing good i'm not
[619]
ashamed
[620]
you're doing good you're doing good
[622]
look maybe the reason i'm not impressed
[625]
with these japanese kids is that as a
[627]
kid myself i spent a lot of alone time
[629]
so look look my dad used to take me
[631]
camping and and as i was setting up the
[633]
campsite he would he would drive off and
[635]
he'd say i'll be back in a few minutes
[637]
and you know
[638]
it would be a couple days usually and
[640]
sometimes i'd be up there on the
[642]
mountain and it would start to get cold
[643]
and i wouldn't have a lot of drinking
[644]
water so i would warm the snow with my
[646]
hands and then eventually i would i
[648]
would pack up the stuff and i would
[650]
start the long trek home you know
[652]
through the the winding unforgiving
[654]
mountains and
[656]
eventually i would bust through the door
[658]
of home and my mom she'd be so happy to
[660]
see me she'd be crying and she'd be
[662]
embracing me and my dad he'd be so
[664]
surprised he'd be screaming you know
[667]
anyways i love camping and then and then
[668]
the next time he would take me we would
[670]
drive even further away from the house
[672]
but but but i remember as i would as i
[675]
would trek through the mountains and
[677]
hunt antelope with my bare hands the
[680]
the one thought that would get me
[682]
through all this trevor was was my mom's
[685]
warm embrace and her sweet smile
[689]
i think so you want to get to the
[691]
markets real quick or um
[693]
the markets are bad
[695]
the markets are bad okay red is bad red
[698]
is bad red is bad all right
[700]
now these lines you got to ignore these
[703]
unfortunately uh my apologies i uploaded
[706]
all my computer data into my financial
[708]
app these are really just personal stuff
[711]
that measures on my computer
[713]
this this is my salary once i pass it
[715]
through inflation
[717]
the green line or all my twitter
[719]
followers once i talk about race
[720]
relations in the united states
[723]
uh the green or my effectiveness of
[725]
erections as i grow older it's
[727]
it's an odd thing to measure but i did
[729]
agree to apple's terms and conditions so
[732]
look look here's my hot tip here's my
[735]
hot tip
[736]
bonds okay as this is showing red invest
[741]
in bonds michael costa financial expert
[743]
believes in
[745]
bonds especially
[747]
the bond between a mother
[749]
and her son
[751]
because as i'm gnawing on a coyote
[753]
carcass it's the only vision
[756]
that gets me home safe and also when i
[758]
lose my money in the stock market it's
[760]
that bond i can rely on for a couple
[762]
extra bucks so
[773]
i think you were abandoned michael um
[775]
thank you so much for that
[779]
[Music]
[788]
