00:04:39.520
so one thing i'm i told shelly asked for uh us to remind you

they have restocked the dilbert calendar for 2026
00:04:52.640
so you guys this is available right now on amazon
00:04:56.260
if you did not get one or you have one and you wanted to keep one like let's say as a
00:05:02.620
collector's item which a lot of us do i have an open mind
00:05:06.160
um these are available right now on amazon okay so
00:05:14.120
and i i love hearing how everyone has a different way of using their calendar
00:05:18.700
you know like they rip it they don't rip it they pin it up they
00:05:22.260
do all sorts of cute things with them so there's the infamous dilbert calendar
00:05:28.500
so today it's the news crew and um marcella and owen have picked some
00:05:36.100
great stories to talk about we hope that everybody listening finds them
00:05:40.240
relevant and current um as to what's going on in the world today we want you to
00:05:44.580
be informed and i asked sergio if he could help
00:05:48.580
me because you guys you know i'm a little spicy
00:05:51.620
and i get a little opinionated and sergio is going to try to help for those
00:05:57.840
of you that are like me maybe give a little bit of an alternative
00:06:01.380
view and talk us off the ledge a little so we don't feel like the world's coming
00:06:06.040
to an end at all times and i really appreciate that so i'm
00:06:09.940
going to turn over the news now to owen and marcella i don't know whose story
00:06:17.800
i think we'll start with marcella's list i'm still working on my list should be
00:06:22.260
on my list the first one would be rubio marco rubio represented america like
00:06:29.540
no one else there was a standing ovation i think at the beginning of the speech
00:06:36.420
sorry just make sure um and he was this was on friday and i know that it's not
00:06:46.320
new news but i wanted we wanted to dissect it we wanted sergio we wanted erica we
00:06:51.540
wanted owen's point of view uh through the scotlands and one of the main things he he
00:06:59.060
outlined is the fact that the west is degrading is not necessarily something that needs to happen
00:07:08.320
it can go the other way it we can win still we can reverse it and what he what i loved about his
00:07:18.340
speech if you did not hear it you must hear it it's about 20 minutes long um it was wonderful even
00:07:26.060
the europeans loved it which is kind of amazing um the main thing is that he outlined how great europe
00:07:35.280
used to be and talking about the sistine chapel talking about all the great discoveries and
00:07:42.960
everything else that europe has done so he laid it out he paced and led them um not necessarily
00:07:50.960
talking down to them but in a high ground maneuver uh we'll go to the we'll go into it but the main
00:07:59.440
thing is he said we in america have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the west
00:08:07.760
managed decline basically a red line that this has to stop he talked about immigration how the u.s
00:08:15.920
opened its borders to immigration and how europe has opened its borders to immigration because we're
00:08:21.200
good people we want to help we feel the plight of all these people but at the same time we have to
00:08:30.000
um secure our borders secure our our livelihood secure our culture and that's basically what he
00:08:38.160
said that we have to reverse that that yes he understands europe opened its borders but at the
00:08:44.240
same time they must also be closed now so that it can be restored back to the greatness that it was
00:08:52.480
and he outlined how europe and america work together to end world war ii and that can again
00:09:02.480
happen so i'll open it to everybody erica what are your thoughts you know i loved how he
00:09:08.480
he he pointed out like he tried to highlight to them what their greatness was and the nation that they
00:09:17.840
were and that this is a chosen decline right so it's a chosen decline so he's saying like you can keep
00:09:25.840
going on this path we're not going to get you out of it or you can remember what you were and where
00:09:32.480
you came from and reminded them that what they say like we were how did he put it we were like born
00:09:38.240
out of them so like we were like a a sister or brother to them i forget the exact word i think
00:09:43.680
he said we'd always be a child of europe a child of europe and i love that because it was like some
00:09:49.920
kind of um being humble and saying like we're a child of europe but that was because we shared the
00:09:56.720
same values and we were you know the same morality and things like that now they've chosen another
00:10:03.600
path so they're saying like you can go that way we'll be sad or you can regain what you had and and
00:10:11.520
take it back and then we can continue working together and i think it was a good reminder and
00:10:16.080
i think that the people in there that were applauding were like yeah you know we missed what
00:10:21.440
we had too and we do want it back and we see the decay and the decline and i don't know i felt like
00:10:27.600
it was a message of hope but it was strong and it was really putting the ball in their court so it's
00:10:34.000
pretty clear to me that if they choose to not go down a path of regaining who they were morally and as a
00:10:44.640
country that they have to probably go it alone what do you think sergio
00:10:57.920
what about now you're gonna go yeah this is insane i practice so much i have a button now
00:11:04.240
dedicated i sent a picture to owen this morning it was a tradition that you have to screw up your
00:11:09.360
mute button at least once or two okay we'll do that um so marco rubio the interesting thing is that his
00:11:16.480
name means in spanish literally means a frame for marco it's a frame and rubio is a golden so it's a
00:11:25.600
golden frame that trump sent to europe and the whole planet to to see america through
00:11:33.120
a simulation exactly yeah very good it's uh it is a simulation wink because it's um it's so on the
00:11:41.360
nose for for uh for the golden age right now that we're living and and marcella mentioned how
00:11:49.680
a the speech was aspirational and not you know pointing down at them right he wasn't
00:11:56.720
being um talking down to them it was all about if we rise you rise we all rise together so uh yeah marco
00:12:04.880
rubio ended up being a fantastic uh representative for america and the new america the old america we
00:12:13.120
had all the representatives but for tony remember tony blinken wasn't he the secretary of state compare
00:12:19.920
tony blinken to marco rubio i mean it's amazing the the contrast so um that's what i see with this
00:12:27.040
yeah i was going to say something similar just about it being like a positive reframe of trump's
00:12:34.240
statements about europe because i think trump has taken more of a negative stance in terms of
00:12:39.840
you know bashing them about all the things they're doing wrong and um the very first statement that the
00:12:46.800
person interviewing rubio after the speech said was he thought their reaction was that it was
00:12:52.400
a very reassuring speech that it was like a reassurance that we're on the same side and
00:12:56.480
we're going to be working together and i think that's probably a response to trump sort of you know
00:13:02.080
saying you guys are on a bad path doing bad things and that we're not following and we're not going to
00:13:07.920
be part of this and you guys got to do things on your own and defend yourselves and do all these other
00:13:11.760
things and i think rubio you know i didn't hear him like walk any of that back but i but at the same
00:13:19.440
time he kind of turned it into a positive frame so it was a very well written speech and um you know i
00:13:25.360
think he put a a better picture on it but still didn't pull any punches like he talked about how
00:13:30.640
globalism was a huge mistake that you know getting rid of the national view and trying to go to this global
00:13:37.680
rules-based order or whatever it was was a huge mistake and exporting all our manufacturing and
00:13:42.640
our supply chains to our enemies and rivals was a huge mistake so he he hit all those points but he
00:13:47.760
also just had enough positive in there that said you know we need to work together and turn this around
00:13:53.760
basically and um so it was really a really well-written speech i liked it a lot one one quote that he said
00:14:00.480
uh i don't know if he said exactly like this but he it was quoted like this that the old world is gone
00:14:07.280
he said that the old world is gone and that i made a little meme of it because that's what
00:14:13.920
i call the speech the old world is gone it used to be the old excuse me the old word order is gone
00:14:21.040
old word order so it used to be that bush said the new word order was coming so now is the
00:14:26.080
the old word order is gone good yeah i think the moderator even said that like you could hear
00:14:33.920
like a sigh of relief in the audience right that was pretty interesting one of the things that
00:14:40.640
it will post it for you one of the things that someone asked and most people's mind is like well
00:14:48.000
what does this change because europe might have the europeans may have stood up and clapped but is
00:14:54.640
anything going to change in europe but actually i it's my belief being that i i had lived in europe
00:15:01.360
for a while in germany and both in iceland and germany i i believe that the speech was not meant for
00:15:07.520
the people in the audience but it was meant for the european people that were listening the people
00:15:12.480
to vote um you know a lot of conservative movements are fully uh popping up um some have indicated in
00:15:22.640
the uk um there's been um a revival of these beliefs that it needs to go back the west is great and there's
00:15:34.560
no sense of feeling like we need to give up and the same thing in germany uh with the afd
00:15:41.920
rising and i believe there was uh sorry to forget but there is a uk uh member of parliament or wants
00:15:50.960
to be member of parliament was trying to get uk back online with everything i don't know if owen remembers
00:16:01.840
lov or something somebody in the chat can write it down because some of them i'm not sure you're referring
00:16:07.600
to sorry lov lov uh rupert low yeah no yeah rupert low yeah rupert low it's his motto yeah yeah so
00:16:18.640
restore the uk um so it's it's kind of like it generates this energy that the european people don't
00:16:26.880
really listen they're not allowed like we have fox news we have certain news coverage but they don't
00:16:34.320
really have um any kind of uh non-government non-leftist news sources um so hearing rubio speak
00:16:47.040
through this leftist news sources allows them to hear these ideas that they're not usually listening
00:16:54.480
to so he's is it's kind of like uh south korea playing democracy uh stories in north korea you know
00:17:05.760
know i don't want to compare the two but it's it feels like that so i i think that's where it's
00:17:11.760
really going to help is getting the ball rolling with the european people yeah it's like uh rubio is
00:17:19.920
like a little starlink dropping down into there and like giving you some information you might not
00:17:25.040
know yes it's like starlink in iran or something like that all right well you guys make sure you
00:17:32.400
check that out it was great it was great so on on this note we go next to the next story unless owen
00:17:40.400
has his stories ready but the next one i love it's basically the next few stories are going to be the
00:17:46.960
comparison the juxtaposition of here's rubio here's what he's presenting and then comes hillary she
00:17:56.000
gets roasted in munich because from the czech prime minister um roast her because of what she says he
00:18:06.080
is trying to speak and she interrupts him they're on a panel um and you must watch the video because i
00:18:13.920
make no justice of it you have to watch the hillary video um of the of her getting roasted but he
00:18:20.960
says to her first i think you don't like trump so let me speak and let me tell you the issues that i
00:18:32.000
have and basically what he was outlining is that the reason trump has had to have a strong border strong
00:18:40.080
uh just basically strong everything is because the previous administrations have allowed all this to
00:18:49.280
happen basically i'm paraphrasing what he's saying um and he he is peter machinka which i probably
00:18:59.200
mispronounce every czech person over there is like no marcella that's not right and um so sorry for my
00:19:05.920
check um by the way czech republic did not allow me into their country but anyways long story um
00:19:14.960
didn't allow you in no they didn't but i'll go i'll go into that one day um
00:19:22.080
so they were like maybe now they would um you know this is absolutely true clinton said clinton
00:19:29.120
actually agreed that there is issues with immigration and that immigration does need to be
00:19:38.000
reinforced immigration law but that it has to be done in a better way in a more sweet
00:19:47.280
uh what what was her words it's gone too compassionate that's exactly what it was you know it and then she
00:19:56.000
said that yes there needs to be like a wall a secure wall some kind of thing like that to secure the
00:20:02.720
borders she agreed with him but basically he called her out on her wokeness and on the fact that the
00:20:09.920
wokeness that pushed this country to this level of chaos i would say or destruction
00:20:18.720
um is the reason why trump has to be a straightaway because he's trying to redo everything uh and reform
00:20:28.240
everything so there you are with the rbc avion visa you can book any airline any flight any time so start

event and get more for your points friday february 13th to wednesday february 18th valid in store and online
00:21:10.640
yeah i mean to me the the real news is just that i think that is a signal that the democrats are
00:21:20.720
realizing they can't stick to this immigration open border policy i think of course they're going to
00:21:27.440
say well we do it so much better and more compassionately and in reality they wouldn't
00:21:31.680
it would be exactly the same thing if they did do it because that's what obama was doing he deported a lot
00:21:36.080
more people than trump did it's just the media doesn't cover it and so there's no protests and
00:21:41.040
so there's no conflict and it doesn't hit the news millions of people get deported and nobody even
00:21:46.480
notices and that's the difference is how the media is treating it and there's no recognition of that
00:21:52.000
it's the policies essentially follow our immigration laws when they do enforce them obviously biden did none
00:21:58.480
of that but i think if hillary went back to the older policy it would be exactly like like what trump's
00:22:04.480
doing it just wouldn't be as visible and people wouldn't be aware it was happening and even if
00:22:09.600
they were the media would be apologizing for them and saying oh everything's fine and it's all
00:22:13.680
compassionate and we're doing everything the right way and we're you know they would be defending it
00:22:18.720
so i think the media is the big variable there that they're not talking about um i just want to jump
00:22:23.680
in really quick so terry i see your comment i do want to say to people sometimes we're we're paraphrasing
00:22:29.520
okay don't don't depend on like every word we're having right she did say a humane way not a
00:22:35.760
compassionate way um in my head i remembered compassionate for some reason but hillary
00:22:41.360
clinton said that you know we have to have a humane way um and i believe she also said something about
00:22:47.760
like not uh murdering people and this and that and she definitely took it too far so i just want
00:22:54.480
you guys to know take everything we say with a grain of salt okay we we um we're we're opinionators
00:23:01.200
okay sergio what's your take on this well i think it was amazing that to see hit hillary give us so much
00:23:09.120
good material that the department of state actually made a clip of what marcella said and they put it on
00:23:16.560
their own x account uh of of and thanking hillary for her message and and right now so i'm normally if
00:23:24.640
everybody can see that there's a shift going on here right there's a change of the guard um obviously
00:23:30.800
and the way they're speaking to her with some lack of respect like that right it was so new
00:23:37.520
uh it's definitely um felt in here too like we see all these interviews with uh um congressman fetterman
00:23:47.680
right saying that um that's another story that's another story but he was interviewed saying that
00:23:53.920
he cannot call trump supporters nazis anymore he says that he's done with that he's over with that
00:24:00.720
and that's one man that i think that he's the most base person in the in their body that is showing us
00:24:09.200
that we have to like reconcile now we have to work work our way through and that's what marco is doing
00:24:15.760
with his speech right it's like united together and we can be invincible and there's no nothing that can
00:24:23.680
stop us so that's it um some some people were commenting that this is uh for the midterms that
00:24:33.760
it basically hillary is trying to claw herself back uh like like she's golem or something she's crawling
00:24:42.880
herself back into a position of that's more moderate so that people were like oh yeah immigration
00:24:52.320
humane humane we must do it but you still believe in it so this kind of positioning how one said
00:24:59.280
into this idea that you can have it um in the same realm we have so this is all a juxtaposition
00:25:07.680
i'm showing you rubio i started with rubio there's a reason then we go to hillary now we go to newsom
00:25:13.600
newsom uh when in munich mr ken um barbie ken um he went to munich and he spilled his ick into munich
00:25:28.240
he didn't necessarily call federal agents and eyes nazis but basically that's kind of what he said
00:25:35.680
he didn't use the word nazi so everybody don't think he used it but he told um
00:25:43.840
in an interview he goes i want to remember this is his words i want to remember all those images
00:25:50.320
of mass men the street police something familiar in germany those first images came out of my state
00:25:57.600
the second largest city of the united states of america we saw 4 000 national guard federalized for
00:26:03.200
the first time we've never seen anything like this 700 active duty marines sent not overseas but to
00:26:10.160
the second largest city in the united states of america militarizing the streets of my city
00:26:17.440
um he went to that level of using the visual um as scott would tell us visuals are so important
00:26:26.880
as well as fear in persuasion but the key thing is he tries to skirt the whole idea of calling uh the
00:26:35.120
federal agents and the national guard nazis by calling it out as oh this reminds me of germany and
00:26:43.040
secret police um again going into this is the old way of thinking this is what they always try to do
00:26:51.680
they have nothing to offer us so they go in to use visuals to use fear in order to get support and
00:27:02.560
it's interesting that we have rubio going to munich with a message of hope with a message of actually
00:27:10.880
doing something and reversing the destruction and then we have hillary trying to bring it down and we
00:27:18.080
have news some with actually no ideas to bring to the table it's not like they have something to say
00:27:26.320
hey your policies are this they don't talk policy they only talk fear and that's to me that was
00:27:33.520
interesting um and again going back to the same theme the reason why los angeles needed all these national
00:27:44.000
guards is because los angeles is out of control it's the basically the democrats cost the situation
00:27:50.960
and here comes trump trying to correct it and the reason why it had to be such a strong showing like
00:27:56.480
he said this has never been done before well why why has it never been done before because no it has
00:28:05.280
never declined to this length i mean i go to downtown la and next time i'm there i'm gonna film it for you
00:28:13.280
guys it's worse yes i will because it's worse than el salvador when i lived in el salvador in war
00:28:21.200
that's how bad it is i'm like oh my gosh am i in dk like i actually have gone to third world countries
00:28:28.240
that look better so yeah i remember joe rogan mentioning that skid row is something like a
00:28:33.280
couple miles long now like it's it's the whole downtown basically yes the whole downtown is good
00:28:38.640
i think it used to only be a couple blocks um exactly and of course you know it did happen
00:28:43.360
before in terms of newsome when she was coming you remember that when all of the homeless just
00:28:48.160
mysteriously disappeared oh you should i was there where'd they go i don't know if we ever found out
00:28:55.280
it was super clean it was in the oscars too it's not just she she it's also when the oscars were in
00:29:03.600
in near downtown la um everything cleared out i don't know where they put them i have no idea what
00:29:11.520
happened it's like they're actors and they're like okay go go off stage but like in the dark
00:29:18.000
night like i guess all these buses and vans pulled up and just i don't know i don't know what
00:29:22.880
they did with these people and that's really like the secret police and and no one says anything about
00:29:28.800
it right like the media doesn't cover it they don't make a big deal out of it and you know the
00:29:33.360
right-leaning media does but that doesn't really go anywhere and it's just kind of amazing how uh
00:29:39.840
the media portrays things so differently depending on who's doing it yeah what marcella said about uh
00:29:45.840
newsome bringing up the visuals again of all the ice agents um out there with their mask and everything
00:29:52.400
right uh it it looks like they're just going to reuse that same idea you know for the next campaign
00:30:00.560
and it's good because now we are prepared to counter it much better so it's just so easy uh these attacks
00:30:06.720
that they're doing so i'm not so i hear hillary saying this and i hear newsome saying that but they
00:30:12.160
just look so weak now right they all look so uh pathetic now they don't have any power no no nothing behind
00:30:20.800
them anymore and just like yeah just starting to scare women and well not just women all kinds of
00:30:27.120
people scare them into action like what marcella was saying and um and the only way that we're gonna
00:30:33.040
stop that is by ridicule them we had to ridicule them as much as possible make fun of them um not
00:30:40.720
take him seriously anymore that's what i'm saying like uh the way that guy talked to hillary he just
00:30:46.800
like i only didn't take you seriously anymore it wasn't like oh hillary is gonna kill me no no
00:30:51.680
nobody's scared of hillary anymore well and i would i would point out that you know they're dragging out
00:30:57.280
hillary right and they're dragging out obama like they're bringing out these people that are no longer
00:31:03.440
active in politics and to me that's a clear sign that they have no bench they have no new blood they
00:31:09.440
have nobody they like you know they yeah newsome and whitmer are supposedly probably trying to run
00:31:14.960
for president but other than them and even they are you know people who've been around a long time
00:31:20.160
it's not a new voice it's not anybody new and um it just seems like they don't have anybody and um
00:31:28.480
especially when they bring people out like hillary and even biden they've dragged them out for a couple
00:31:33.360
things like it's like they don't have anybody and they keep trying to bring out these voices that i don't
00:31:38.800
think anyone wants to listen to on either side i don't think the democrats want to hear from hillary
00:31:43.040
i don't think they want to hear from kamala i don't think they want to hear from biden but they keep
00:31:47.680
putting them in front of microphones because they don't have anything better i feel like we did hear
00:31:52.160
from kamala there when i got to hear aoc with her word salad that's our next story i was gonna say
00:31:58.640
sure marcella just like drive the knife in further we had to do uh you know hillary and newsome now let's just
00:32:07.600
top it off somebody mentioned aoc and whittler on the bench just on the bench i want to say that um
00:32:15.920
you know they have no bench and our bench is like so deep right we have uh so many people we don't
00:32:21.200
even know what to do with so many people can be that can be president you know and also like everybody
00:32:26.960
calm down like trump's not running again like this trump derangement syndrome to like just stop he's out of
00:32:32.320
here in a few years so it's just it's old news and brutal okay so dry the dry the knife and go ahead
00:32:42.080
i wanted to first of all say we're not suicidal at all in case hillary wants to do something to us
00:32:49.920
allegedly we love hillary allegedly we love her we love her um sure we love her um so aoc went to munich
00:32:59.200
um and it didn't go so well it was word salad central with her i mean i personally don't like
00:33:06.880
her politics obviously but i felt bad for her to be honest because she froze with all these questions
00:33:13.120
i'm not sure what happened to her was she drunk was she was she not well i don't know because even with
00:33:19.360
her spiel she could have just talked she actually just froze and didn't say much whitmer too uh she
00:33:29.200
did a little bit better but basically uh we have two different sides one without any kind of solutions
00:33:38.160
and one with solutions but again it's always oh we need to do the humane thing i really don't believe in
00:33:45.680
those things um that's the kind of thing aoc would bring up they asked her about the wealth tax
00:33:52.800
and she actually did have an answer for that um and she was like yeah the wealth tax should come now
00:34:01.840
i don't have to wait to be president she didn't say i think the question was when you get voted in
00:34:10.400
as president which knock on wood it doesn't happen uh will you enforce or in enact a wealth tax and this
00:34:20.560
is when she said uh the wealth tax can already be done and then this lady who is possibly i don't know
00:34:30.640
crazy fake news person said oh in fact you can do the wealth tax because even if people do leave your
00:34:39.920
country um the rich leave your country even if they live in foreign countries you can still tax them
00:34:46.560
because that's allowed under the u.s law you don't actually have to live in america to be taxed unless
00:34:53.680
you um she didn't say this but i'm just adding this uh unless you give up your rights as an american
00:35:01.680
and become another citizen of another country the u.s does have a right to tax you if you're living in
00:35:07.680
another country so they were like forming this like crazy idea of taxing the rich and that's all
00:35:14.880
that we have from them um besides her freezing on questions one of them was like taiwan and china
00:35:22.400
like why are you freezing on taiwan taiwan and china like that's an easy question so um i don't know what
00:35:29.840
happened to her i think the best she came up with was just i hope it never comes to it where we have to
00:35:33.840
do that but it was like um um uh and she was just totally frozen on it like she didn't know what to
00:35:40.160
say what do you think happened did something similar when they asked her about ukraine and
00:35:44.880
she's like well these other people know more about foreign policy than a governor does and so it's like
00:35:49.360
she was kind of just like giving up like she didn't even have an answer it was totally that i'm in
00:35:54.560
class and the teacher called on me and i have no freaking clue what's going on and even though i can hear
00:36:00.640
you i still don't know what's going on because i actually don't know what's going on that was the
00:36:05.440
vibe so i got they definitely didn't read the book before class yeah they did not do their homework
00:36:11.360
again it was uh it was like a more opportunities more of a moments right to capture for the campaign
00:36:18.560
uh this is amazing it's just uh uh the stage was set perfectly to capture all these you know
00:36:24.240
find it hard to believe like like these are issues that have been in the news like all the time for
00:36:30.640
years and like anybody i that's in politics you would think would be very well aware of the whole
00:36:38.160
situation in taiwan and have come up with some kind of position on it and the same thing with ukraine
00:36:42.560
it's like how can you not you know what position on ukraine some say the bubbles in an arrow truffle
00:36:48.560
piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same
00:36:53.680
red light rich creamy chocolatey arrow truffle feel the arrow bubbles melt it's mind bubbling this is a
00:37:01.920
very good example right that when you know what you want and you have a very clear stated position
00:37:08.400
it's very easy to articulate it even if you are not a master speaker but if you don't know who is in
00:37:15.920
the audience you know because these people normally speak to audiences right so they want to see who
00:37:21.360
to talk to who they have to agree with um and so free palestine and and maybe not and they always like
00:37:27.840
doing that right so they always have to be so careful and they just lose it when when they get
00:37:35.920
overwhelmed with uh their lies there's so many lies that they have to like keep together because it
00:37:42.000
there's no common there's no when you have common sense it's so easy to explain anything to anybody
00:37:47.600
right it's just clear when you just want me away in this case because like i like palestine or gaza
00:37:54.400
you know that that is a controversial issue i understand especially in the democratic party that
00:37:58.880
would be a hard question because you know they they have a big split within their party and they got
00:38:03.440
to be sensitive to how they answer that question because they don't want to come across as anti-semitic but
00:38:08.000
they don't want to come across as you know favoring the jews over the palestinians or all that but for
00:38:14.880
ukraine i mean i thought the democratic position has been clear forever and the same with taiwan really
00:38:22.880
i mean at taiwan maybe if you want to be friendly to the ccp somehow you have to be sensitive to that
00:38:28.320
but but still it's like we obviously don't want to let taiwan go anytime soon to china and um so you know
00:38:37.440
you might want to phrase it carefully like not maybe call taiwan an independent country you know
00:38:42.880
they have that weird thing where they try to say it's you know sort of a territory of china but sort
00:38:47.280
of not but still you you would it's kind of an obvious position that the united states has had for
00:38:53.760
decades that we're going to defend taiwan and we're not going to let it you know become part of china
00:38:58.400
we're not going to let china invade or take over and and i don't remember anybody on the democratic
00:39:04.640
party ever saying anything different so it's like unless you're just completely ignorant of what's
00:39:10.240
going on i i just don't get how they missed it i would like to jump into because this is um uh
00:39:17.760
something i'm very passionate about was i was invited to a private screening of a documentary a
00:39:23.280
few years ago some of you know and you guys um we'll drop we'll drop everything unless somebody can
00:39:30.640
while we're on in the links on the the platforms but it's a documentary you can watch it for free on
00:39:37.760
youtube it's called either the hong kongers or hong kongers okay and it's a story about jimmy lai
00:39:48.880
l-a-i and if you're kind of like i don't really know the history about it like i don't know what the
00:39:55.280
hubbub's about it's such a well-done documentary it's and it was current like it was like when we
00:40:02.400
were locked down during the plandemic um this stuff was going on in hong kong and they were rising up
00:40:10.240
and you know we were distracted i remember watching it i remember thinking oh my god what's
00:40:15.520
happening over here please i know jimmy lye is probably one of the most honorable amazing human
00:40:25.200
beings and i'm not going to tell you the story i really want you to go watch it um again it's called
00:40:31.600
the hong kongers and you can find it on youtube and i highly recommend just watch it like you could watch
00:40:38.800
it you know with your family um and maybe report back and like tell us what you think about the
00:40:45.680
situation in hong kong after you watch it it's um and then do a little update on on what's going on
00:40:51.760
with with jimmy lye it's something i've actually you know what i think i might do you guys it's so
00:40:57.360
important maybe i'll just do it on locals is um have some of the people that were uh that wrote the
00:41:03.120
movie that were in the movie that i'm friends with maybe we'll do a spaces on locals about it because
00:41:08.800
it just never got enough attention and i know i love giving homework assignments sorry and rubio
00:41:15.040
really was trying to help with this i don't want to talk too much about it now we'll talk about it
00:41:18.880
later but please please watch it okay sorry back to the now back to the news all right well i i don't
00:41:27.120
know what happens to them in regards to not knowing any of this all of us know all of this like we should
00:41:34.000
be in congress then we should be senators i mean like the fact that they don't they weren't ready
00:41:39.040
for it or even with a politician answer of like non anything even camilla comes up with ward salads
00:41:46.720
um so that it's just uh ms now which is now what ms now is now used to be the previous uh msnbc
00:41:59.120
nbc and they wrote um a story about rubio and aoc in their mind they made aoc look good but it's
00:42:12.160
actually like the opposite so it's beautiful to have these visuals to have rubio stand there
00:42:21.680
standing ovation by europe a man that is american but also cuban descent being for strong borders
00:42:34.160
and being for trump at the same time you have that visual you have hillary being dragged out
00:42:41.200
uh to speak on behalf of the democratic party and then aoc being speechless and frozen and newsom only
00:42:50.640
having fear so those visuals i mean it makes for the midterms it makes for uh i mean it i don't know
00:43:01.200
how lucky trump is and having all of that happen uh i don't think it was planned but it's beautiful
00:43:08.400
and the next story i don't know if owen has his stories i will go with owen okay well i mean i did
00:43:15.360
think a fun story was the obama alien story that he was uh on a podcast and i think it was a speed round
00:43:20.960
where they just asked him are aliens real and his answer was yes they're real but then he also married
00:43:27.840
to one yeah he went on to say that uh you know they're not in area 51 unless they're hiding him
00:43:34.480
from the president so it was kind of this you know back and forth answer on it but um i will invoke the
00:43:40.880
48-hour rule because he then came out a little later to clarify because this was like this speed
00:43:45.600
round question so they didn't ask any follow-up questions they just went on to the next question
00:43:49.360
um so it just kind of left everybody thinking what what what did he just say and um so then he
00:43:55.040
clarified something like he didn't really mean that he had any evidence of it and he just thought
00:44:00.160
you know number one it was a speed round so he just thought he had to give an answer
00:44:04.640
really quickly and then what he meant by that apparently was just it's a big universe there's
00:44:09.120
all these planets there's all these galaxies and you know so there's probably something out there
00:44:13.200
and so i think he essentially walked the whole thing back um but it is funny that you know this
00:44:18.400
former president that in theory would have had direct access to all this information and he was
00:44:23.280
there for eight years so i had plenty of time to look into it that he you know starts off by saying
00:44:28.400
yep aliens are real and just leaves it at that and then uh later he comes back and kind of walks it
00:44:34.800
back but um i don't know it'll be interesting because i i think uh you know there is all this
00:44:40.560
talk about ufos and aliens that keeps coming up and we have this ages disclosure documentary that's out
00:44:47.440
now and and a lot of people are expecting this to continue that we're gonna get some kind of
00:44:52.240
gradual disclosure that aliens are real and they're here and you know we're not alone and all that
00:44:57.280
and you know that would potentially just change reality pretty drastically if it happens and i'm
00:45:04.240
kind of just wondering where that where that's going to go over the next few years that's that's
00:45:09.440
the next thing right that aliens are here or something to distract us from politics
00:45:14.800
like reagan said right if there's a an attack an alien attack and he unites us all right i mean
00:45:24.000
it would be great for that purpose i don't know if it'd be great i mean if they have this technology
00:45:30.240
that we can't do anything about we'd have like democrat aliens and republic aliens and mega aliens
00:45:36.800
uh please we'd find a way to mess that up to him but lord oh and i have a special request this is
00:45:43.440
kind of on the fly um while we're talking about the news stories could you just quick pull up trump's
00:45:52.800
truth post about bill maher and do an interpretive reading for us when you find it
00:45:58.320
i'll see if i can find it sure okay i think i think i posted that today yeah i think i think we
00:46:03.440
need to hear it you know we like when you do trump's trump a reading by trump well i i still don't
00:46:10.400
have a good trump voice but i can at least read it yeah that's okay your voice will we'll imagine
00:46:15.440
that it's trump and i'll even imagine scott's reading it because i can just see the tears the
00:46:20.880
laughter the tissue the everything so good you guys if you did not see this so you remember that bill
00:46:30.160
maher went to the white house and met trump and everything was honky dory peachy keen and um i
00:46:39.600
guess bill maher gets you know he he's he's like right in the middle which i can't fault him for i'm
00:46:45.600
like an in the middle person too like i like this i don't like that blah blah blah but you know trump
00:46:51.600
be there he gets upset and he feels like there should be some loyalty and um all right well i've got
00:46:59.920
it up let's go sometimes in life you waste time tv host bill maher asked to have dinner with me
00:47:08.960
through one of his friends also a friend of mine and i agreed he came into the famed oval office much
00:47:13.840
different than i thought he would be he was extremely nervous had zero confidence in himself and to soothe
00:47:18.720
his nerves immediately within seconds asked for a vodka tonic he said to me i've never felt like this
00:47:24.400
before i'm actually scared in one respect it was somewhat endearing anyway we had a great dinner it
00:47:30.560
was quick easy and he seemed to be a nice guy and for the first show after our dinner he was very
00:47:34.720
respectful about our meeting but with everything i have done and bringing our country back from oblivion
00:47:40.320
why wouldn't he be but then i noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story
00:47:45.040
very boring anti-trump no mention of the perfect border lowest crime in 125 years the mass removal of
00:47:51.920
stone-cold criminals the 50 000 dow the 7 000 s p both highest ever least number of murders since 1900
00:48:00.240
venezuela midnight hammer soleimani dead al-bagdadi dead lowest inflation in years 1.2 percent for the
00:48:07.360
last three months and rebuilding of our military eight war stoppages and on and on and on in any event
00:48:15.200
it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the white house and last night after explaining
00:48:20.000
what a disaster canadian leaders are to deal with how canada has ripped off the united states for
00:48:25.760
years on trade but not anymore i jokingly stated in a truth that the first thing china will do is
00:48:31.520
terminate all ice hockey being played in canada and permanently eliminate the stanley cup
00:48:36.640
well he went on and on about the hockey statement like what kind of person would say such a foolish
00:48:40.960
thing as this as though i were being serious when i said it fortunately his television ratings are so
00:48:46.240
low that nobody will learn about his various fake news statements about me he is no different than
00:48:50.960
kimmel fallon or colbert but i must admit slightly more talented anyway bill maher is a highly overrated
00:48:59.040
lightweight and republicans should stop using him to show how the left is coming over our way
00:49:04.240
our base the greatest of all time laughs at your weakness when you do it maher asked me if he could
00:49:10.720
come back to the white house again and with his friend also asked to come to the wonderful white
00:49:14.640
house christmas party but he didn't regardless i'd much rather spend my time making america great
00:49:20.560
again than wasting it on him bill continues to suffer from a severe case of trump derangement syndrome
00:49:26.160
tds and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease
00:49:31.280
thank you for your attention to this minor matter president djt amazing savage savage
00:49:38.640
oh did so wait that came out saturday so we don't have bill's response yet oh and i think he's on
00:49:49.280
hiatus now yeah that was that was valentine's day oh what a lover valentine to bill maher
00:49:58.240
we'll get a chance to have trump sign that for him i don't know slightly talented slightly talented
00:50:06.560
slightly more talented more slightly more talented and is he so he's responding to um is trump
00:50:13.840
responding to bill maher speaking trash of trump on an interview catch me up because uh yeah so
00:50:21.120
he's not responding to bill maher right joke about hockey and the terrorists in canada and bill was like
00:50:28.880
who would say that he was kidding saying like we're going to take away the stanley cup it's like it's
00:50:33.600
obviously just a joke but bill you know it's amazing how every response that trump uh takes
00:50:41.120
the opportunity to brag about america you know i love that you know it becomes a state of the union
00:50:46.480
every tweet is it's beautiful you have to read the good things to get to the insults yeah
00:50:52.640
take it yeah all right that was beautiful thank you we can turn our attention to ukraine for a moment
00:50:59.360
um looks like it is uh still the drone war um that scott was predicting um there's a story about eric
00:51:08.320
schmidt going from don't be evil at google to um basically the drone king is the way they describe
00:51:14.640
him and he's just saying you know future wars are going to be defined by unmanned weapons
00:51:19.600
um they expand the no man's land ai is going to be automating targeting there's going to be drone
00:51:24.480
versus drone combat with air to air missiles and he predicts that there would be like a drone wall
00:51:31.040
border like an intelligent fence so looks like eric schmidt who is in a position to do this because i
00:51:37.760
think he's you know selling a lot of these things or helping build a lot of these things or funding a
00:51:41.920
lot of these drone companies seems to be all over making uh this brave new war with drones um
00:51:48.960
speaking of which there was another attack on moscow from ukrainian drones uh i don't think anyone got
00:51:54.640
killed i think they shot them all down but there were three 13 drones over moscow so um i think there
00:52:00.400
was 120 in briansk and 180 182 total across all the regions so a bunch of drones being lobbed at at
00:52:08.720
moscow and other places um but it looks like it didn't really do much and then um i think there was a
00:52:15.600
similar um attack on ukraine uh and in the meantime russia has apparently seized a dozen ukrainian
00:52:24.800
villages in february so they're expanding what they call their security zone so the war is still on
00:52:30.160
underway and looks like it's at the moment moving in russia's favor um but slowly and uh at the same
00:52:37.760
time there's a video of a russian commander stripping cowards and tying them to trees in the snow
00:52:44.080
where he's saying they're um idiots alcoholics and cowards and there's a couple of videos i posted
00:52:50.560
about it where they just you see these people that have very little clothing on and they're tied
00:52:54.480
tied to a tree uh kind of begging to be let go so have fun if you're in the russian military um
00:53:02.800
and then on the ukrainian side one of his allies was arrested while trying to flee the country
00:53:07.360
uh from this massive corruption probe that's going on so herman halashenko was detained at the border
00:53:14.880
trying to leave by train um and i think he's tied up in this thing he resigned in november and is uh
00:53:21.920
under a lot of heat for this corruption so looks like the corruption scandal is continuing to escalate
00:53:27.120
in in ukraine so i think those are the latest developments i see in ukraine what do you guys
00:53:32.880
think is going to happen oh hang on i was on the wrong platform and you did
00:53:45.040
know it's going to happen but i think with the i think see i'm afraid to say anything because
00:53:53.280
i'm very opinionated about this i don't know i don't want to do anything yet i would say i don't
00:54:03.120
i don't expect an agreement anytime soon like not within the next few weeks or months i think it's
00:54:07.840
going to keep going because i still think that right now as things stand currently russia has all
00:54:13.360
the advantages to just keep it going and so they don't need to compromise on anything and right now
00:54:18.640
zelensky is not willing to compromise on all the land that would essentially have to be given
00:54:23.520
up to bring this to an end and so i think they're at an impasse and they are having more talks in
00:54:28.560
geneva coming up so they are trying to come to an agreement but i don't know if it's possible with
00:54:33.520
zelensky i think it might require some kind of election and a new leader to say we're going to put
00:54:38.560
an end to this and i don't think that's happening soon either i want to know what the ukrainian
00:54:43.600
people think about this and not the guy that has installed himself and won't leave there like i i
00:54:50.720
don't look at him as their president because he's full of so i'd rather know how the ukrainian people
00:54:58.800
feel and what they want since all of their sons and husbands are dead um i don't care about zelensky
00:55:07.440
i think he needs to be removed okay so this is my opinion this is why like i feel weird about saying
00:55:14.320
that but um i don't know i i just feel like it's it's all fake and he's a puppet and he's being
00:55:20.960
controlled by bigger money and nefarious powers and a lot of the other world leaders know this and that
00:55:28.640
they're all in on it and i think there's bio labs there and they're getting money and they're laundering
00:55:33.280
money and for some reason we're paying for their you know people that can't work and like so we're
00:55:38.560
paying their welfare right now so i'm just like it's a big for me money laundering uh scheme that
00:55:45.760
i'm having a hard time having a um fair opinion about it or being balanced i see a lot of you in
00:55:52.800
the chat agree with me so i say remove him let the people of ukraine decide what they want to do
00:56:00.320
and then i can have a real opinion about it because right now it's just a power war and
00:56:06.480
it's sick and um i want it to end however it has to end um on on is it true that there is like seven
00:56:18.080
to eight thousand casualties um every week because marco rubio said that he said there's no casualties
00:56:24.880
it's dead people every week seven to eight thousand people yeah i mean it might be i don't know
00:56:31.680
it's hard to know i mean again it's always fog of war when you're getting cat war casualties i don't
00:56:36.320
know if anyone's ever honest about that in any war it is it is the secretary of state saying it in uh
00:56:41.360
on a speech you know everybody so he's saying like seven to eight thousand so i don't know if it's true
00:56:44.960
or not but the point is i'm saying if it's true if there's not lying if trump is not lying if if
00:56:50.480
marco is not lying and there is a one thousand people dying every day uh so there's one thousand
00:56:56.240
uh parents out there getting notices that uh their kids are dying every day uh if if somehow we were
00:57:03.840
able to visualize that and show it to the whole planet seven thousand deaths every day i'm pretty
00:57:11.920
sure that there will be enough pressure on anybody uh in power to stop it and that's what is needed like
00:57:18.480
what eric is saying yeah let's take out selensky but we need to give motivation to the people to
00:57:23.840
want to get rid of him and i don't think it's anything more powerful than than stopping you
00:57:28.640
know a thousand dead every day so if it's true who knows right well they're taking even older people
00:57:36.400
now like people in their what 40s and 50s to go fight because they've exhausted all of the military
00:57:42.880
aged men there so what it's like it's like ukraine's genociding their own country because
00:57:50.800
where are all the men going these are men that have families or would have families or would be
00:57:56.640
create you know creating their own lives like so there's going to be and i'm not even to make
00:58:01.520
a joke of this because you could be like oh more ukrainian women for everyone else like
00:58:05.600
it's it's bad it's gonna it's gonna really pull down their people so um a lot of yeah husbands and
00:58:16.320
sons and fathers and brothers are dead and they have a fake president and they are laundering money
00:58:24.960
did they ever say they're gonna pay us back no so yeah i'm over it like get this guy out of there
00:58:32.240
give you sovereignty give them some kind of you know democracy they if you ask them they probably
00:58:40.640
want the same thing to happen as zelensky he's uh fake nobody can define what ukraine winning means
00:58:48.000
if somebody says like what does it mean for ukraine to win they don't cannot define that right there's no
00:58:54.400
because you cannot that means you know it's impossible to define that so that's why at this
00:58:59.520
point i would define it as just having the war stop and giving up all the territory you need to
00:59:04.240
to make it happen because i think it's just going to get worse i think you know people in the past
00:59:08.880
have said oh in the winter everything's just going to stop but it's not stopping and um i think russia
00:59:14.400
has all the advantages right now and i think it would be in ukraine's best interest to make a deal
00:59:19.680
and to say let's freeze at least the losses that we've had and not have more and you know i get that
00:59:26.880
they might be able to hold on with all these drones but it's they're still going to have people
00:59:30.400
dying and they're still going to be losing territory and it it doesn't seem to be working
00:59:35.520
in their favor at all and every month that goes by it gets worse for ukraine so i i personally think
00:59:41.920
it's better to just make a deal understand that you just have to give up some of that territory and
00:59:47.840
you know you might be able to work on getting it back later but but in the meantime i don't think
00:59:52.320
it's going to benefit them to try and keep fighting because they're just going to keep losing
00:59:56.160
and at some point they're going to run out of people and then it's all going to collapse and
00:59:59.760
it might be that ukraine will become a russian territory i mean that that's a possibility at this
01:00:05.120
point that's right so you guys we're at the top of the hour i know it feels abrupt when i stop us but
01:00:10.800
we do have a stop time so you guys know what your day looks like but yeah stop the death and and
01:00:16.640
remember maps change borders change like look at maps from a long time ago they don't stay the same
01:00:23.600
and um that's what that's what's probably going to happen here but can we just stop the dying that
01:00:29.600
would be amazing um you guys i hope you enjoyed the show today tomorrow um you like the timekeeping
01:00:38.080
