00:03:56.060 We are carrying on, as Scott Adams has asked us to, happily to engage with everyone, commune, sip, chat.
00:04:06.440 And it's so joyful to look over at those streams.
00:04:10.480 So when I'm looking this way, I'm looking at your comments.
00:04:13.060 And everyone's just so sweet and beautiful and familiar, which is also really great.
00:04:20.140 So good morning to all of you.
00:04:21.260 We're watching you all as the show goes on.
00:04:24.360 Um, Scott Adams has his Coffee with Scott Adams, um, videos and streams and lessons.
00:04:30.960 I would say highly recommend going to scottadams.locals.com because there's much more over there than is
00:04:39.440 available on YouTube, but there's still thousands of hours on YouTube.
00:04:42.900 Aren't we the luckiest?
00:04:44.340 We are.
00:04:45.360 Um, today I want to mention the names of the two other service members who lost their lives.
00:04:51.700 Um, and we, you know, we want to share our sorrow, our thanks and our condolences with their families and loved ones.
00:05:00.760 Um, they're the fifth and sixth soldiers, uh, killed.
00:05:04.960 Um, we have, uh, major Jeffrey R. O'Brien, 45 of Indianola, Iowa.
00:05:13.040 And I don't know what CWO is.
00:05:16.640 Owen, do you?
00:05:17.760 Chief warrant officer.
00:05:18.680 Thank you.
00:05:19.180 Chief warrant officer three, uh, Robert M.
00:05:23.980 Marzen, 54 of Sacramento, California.
00:05:28.080 And, um, they paid the ultimate sacrifice, you know, for, for us.
00:05:33.820 And so our condolences go out to their families, um, and loved ones.
00:05:39.380 Okay, so it's like so hard to be like now, but now we're going to go to the news and we have some fun, uh, topics picked out for you.
00:05:52.360 I don't know who's going first.
00:05:54.720 We didn't introduce ourselves.
00:05:56.440 Oh, hi, I'm Erica.
00:06:01.160 This is like that kind of thing.
00:06:02.480 We already know.
00:06:03.300 We already know who you guys are.
00:06:04.400 I'm Erica.
00:06:05.500 Good morning.
00:06:06.340 I have half of my mental capacity going right now.
00:06:09.600 And next to me, I actually, I can't really tell for sure, but we have Owen Gregorian.
00:06:14.560 He's still in that library.
00:06:16.280 He's, he's taking a part-time job in that library he's in.
00:06:19.740 Mm-hmm.
00:06:20.260 Good morning, everyone.
00:06:21.120 And then we have our beautiful Marcella today in pink.
00:06:26.600 Oh, oh, Marcella's added a plant.
00:06:29.840 I like that.
00:06:30.720 No, the plant was there.
00:06:32.080 I just, um.
00:06:33.120 Moved it.
00:06:33.600 Well, let me know what I did differently, everybody in the chat.
00:06:36.780 And you hung pictures.
00:06:38.440 Oh my gosh.
00:06:39.760 Oh my gosh.
00:06:40.640 Okay, this is exciting.
00:06:41.860 All right.
00:06:42.960 Amazing.
00:06:43.780 And then Sergio.
00:06:46.020 Look at our Sergio and his beautiful adding punch monkey.
00:06:50.720 It's beautiful.
00:06:51.600 And I see your flag, Sergio, your American flag, lest anyone think that you're Ukrainian,
00:06:57.100 you're not.
00:06:57.580 Mm-hmm.
00:06:58.800 It's just some yellow books.
00:07:01.200 That's right.
00:07:02.020 That's right.
00:07:02.660 Yeah, I burned all the other flags except for this one when I came here.
00:07:07.940 And thank you very much, Erica, and good morning to everyone.
00:07:10.820 Good morning.
00:07:11.800 Okay, now let's get on with the news.
00:07:15.200 Now we can get on with the news.
00:07:17.400 So I'll be starting.
00:07:20.140 The rumor, there's rumors that Kurds, Iran, there's a Kurdish-Iran operation.
00:07:27.620 It's reported by the New York Times.
00:07:29.840 So, you know, that adds to the fakeness, perhaps.
00:07:33.920 Pro-American Kurdish forces in northern Iraq are armied up and preparing a possible cross-border
00:07:41.060 strike into Iran.
00:07:42.520 This could open an explosive new site to the war.
00:07:46.660 Iran Kurdish leaders and Iraq officials allegedly said these fighters are mobilizing now.
00:07:52.520 They are ready to hit Iran and draw regime troops into the open for devastating the U.S. 0.99
00:07:57.160 and Israeli airstrikes.
00:07:58.340 The CIA has already supplied them, allegedly, with small arms in a secret pre-war program
00:08:05.340 to destabilize Iran.
00:08:07.320 The rumors of this Kurdish ground offensive was denied by the Kurdish themselves.
00:08:15.900 And the rumors that were brought up by the New York Times were later voiced by the New York
00:08:25.900 Post, Axios, everybody else.
00:08:28.820 But it seems some of the people, some of the journalists that brought it up, not the New
00:08:35.060 York Times, but other journalists, have taken down the story because it's weak and contradictory
00:08:41.860 in sourcing.
00:08:44.780 I don't, you know, fog of war, I'm not sure if this is completely true or not.
00:08:49.540 But if somebody wanted to weaken America in a way, you would let out this idea that the
00:08:57.460 Kurdish are arming themselves.
00:08:59.900 The Kurdish are a autonomous people that do not have a nation state, are not very well 1.00
00:09:06.640 liked by the Iraqis, the Iranians.
00:09:10.300 They're like their own little thing and nobody likes them, but nobody's given them a state.
00:09:16.740 There was a story that Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, had made an agreement with the Kurdish leaders
00:09:23.400 that if they were going to attack Iraq and get rid of the leadership, that they would
00:09:29.040 be recognized as a nation.
00:09:30.980 I don't know.
00:09:32.580 That hasn't been confirmed by the IDF or by Israel.
00:09:37.480 So there you are.
00:09:38.960 So over to you guys.
00:09:41.960 Yeah.
00:09:42.580 Or Owen, if you want to.
00:09:43.500 I have nothing to add to that because I just don't know.
00:09:46.380 Well, I would just add that this is still fog of war, too, that I believe the story I posted
00:09:54.060 about this mentioned that the White House says this is BS and even some spokesman for
00:10:00.460 the Kurdish forces said this is not true.
00:10:04.320 So, you know, this is a rumor at this point is where I would say, I mean, I'm not going
00:10:08.820 to say it's not true because, you know, it could be that they're just trying to plan this
00:10:12.820 stuff, but they want it to be a surprise, so they're denying it until something happens.
00:10:16.320 But or it could be that the CIA is trying to plant these stories to make it happen, which
00:10:24.660 is quite possible that they might say, oh, the Kurds, you know, they're against the IDRC
00:10:29.540 and they're going to come in and do this and try and put them in a position where maybe
00:10:33.900 they'd get attacked and then they'd be pulled into it.
00:10:36.360 So lots of possibilities here.
00:10:38.360 But I just I would just say I'm not sure what's true about this.
00:10:41.520 From a from a public relations part of the war, you know, this association with the Kurdish
00:10:49.260 is like not the best right for America to be associated because it smells like Iraq. 1.00
00:10:55.280 Right.
00:10:55.880 It smells like like Kurdish in Iraq. 1.00
00:10:58.560 Kurdish.
00:10:59.180 Yeah.
00:10:59.440 So it gives you that bad association.
00:11:01.940 So I think it sounds like a sign of like what I agree with you a little bit.
00:11:06.860 Oh, you didn't say it, but, you know, kind of you did.
00:11:10.100 So we'll wait and see what happens, right?
00:11:13.100 Yeah.
00:11:13.360 Pogo war. 0.99
00:11:13.960 Pogo war. 0.99
00:11:14.840 Okay.
00:11:15.860 Owen, do you have the...
00:11:17.980 Well, there's a story that Amazon's Bahrain data center has been targeted by Iran because
00:11:22.900 they're supporting the U.S. military.
00:11:25.800 I know there was a report about them being hit or at least some of the Amazon data centers
00:11:29.800 being hit in the area.
00:11:30.920 They were damaged on Sunday.
00:11:35.920 I think they were all offline at that point, but they had some structural damage, some power
00:11:40.020 and water issues, things like that.
00:11:42.900 I think there's some people advising that people migrate all their workloads to other
00:11:46.540 regions.
00:11:47.140 It looks like Bahrain region announced in 2019 that they were going to start hosting government
00:11:52.840 workloads.
00:11:54.180 So they are doing something with the government, but we don't know exactly if they're supporting
00:11:57.580 this military effort.
00:11:58.780 But I would just, you know, put that in to say, it's kind of hard to say, like, where
00:12:04.700 is Iran going to draw the line between military and civilian?
00:12:07.700 Because you would certainly think this is not a military facility, right?
00:12:11.080 It has nothing to do with the military.
00:12:12.840 It's not, I mean, again, they might be supporting some kind of compute that's supporting some
00:12:18.280 of the things the military are doing.
00:12:19.580 It's hard to know exactly what's happening and where, but the facility itself is not
00:12:23.580 military.
00:12:24.540 It's not, you know, housing any soldiers, things like that.
00:12:28.400 Was it intentional?
00:12:30.760 Well, the story is, and I think so, because the story is that they targeted it on purpose
00:12:38.200 for that reason, and it came from a spokesman from Iran.
00:12:41.520 So, yeah, it looks like it was intentional that they were targeting that.
00:12:47.420 Oh, can someone in the chat check Amazon stock and tell us if it changed since that happened?
00:12:53.580 I'm just curious.
00:12:55.740 You know, that reminds me of, it might be strategic, maybe, like you said, Owen, data and analysis
00:13:00.820 and all that, but it sounds like a lot of like rantings again of a dying, desperate, you
00:13:08.160 know, like just like other dying people, you know, that they just get desperate and they
00:13:13.780 just start throwing punches out there indiscriminately.
00:13:16.280 And that happened to Tesla, right?
00:13:20.180 To Elon, people started burning Teslas and all that.
00:13:24.580 So now it's, now it's Bezos' turn, you know.
00:13:27.600 Yeah.
00:13:28.080 Well, it's, I mean, I think it's, you know, it's just, it's been for many hundreds of years,
00:13:33.800 I guess, tradition not to target civilians in military efforts.
00:13:40.060 Westphalia was the agreement that was made to say, okay, we're going to have a separate
00:13:43.800 military and a separate civilian, and we're not going to attack the civilian part.
00:13:48.400 And that's been at least a gentleman's agreement in pretty much every war since then.
00:13:52.500 And it's considered, you know, breaking the rules of war, even though they're, you know,
00:13:57.860 I don't know, you could debate whether there are such a thing, but that you're not supposed
00:14:02.100 to go after civilians, right? 0.92
00:14:03.420 Like every time there is a hospital or a school or somebody that wasn't having any military
00:14:07.880 connection, that's considered wrong in wartime.
00:14:12.340 And so this, I think, is at least on the borderline there.
00:14:16.100 I mean, you could certainly make an argument from their perspective that if they're housing
00:14:19.240 government workloads, then maybe they're doing some sort of military processing that's supporting
00:14:23.520 the effort.
00:14:25.440 But again, it's not a military facility, and it's more of a generalized compute facility
00:14:31.540 that lots of people use.
00:14:33.960 And so I would question whether that kind of crosses the line.
00:14:37.100 But I do have another story on Jeff Bezos, not related to the war, but apparently they
00:14:43.400 are raising billions of dollars to buy manufacturers that are being disrupted by AI.
00:14:51.380 So he's got something called an AI lab called Project Prometheus.
00:14:57.880 He's going to be transforming manufacturing for jet engines, chips, things like that.
00:15:02.760 He's talking to people like Jamie Dimon and Abu Dhabi to raise funds for it.
00:15:06.360 And it looks like for some of these companies that have had their stock price reduced a lot
00:15:11.980 because people think AI is going to disrupt their business, Jeff Bezos is looking in to
00:15:16.500 swoop in and buy them up.
00:15:19.120 So what do you think about that?
00:15:21.760 I don't know.
00:15:22.560 I mean, to me, it's it might be a smart move.
00:15:24.780 It's also something I would not applaud if I were saying, you know, I don't want these
00:15:29.160 smaller companies to become bigger companies or to for Amazon's empire to grow, keep getting
00:15:34.520 bigger.
00:15:34.780 But I mean, technically, this isn't Amazon, but it is Jeff Bezos.
00:15:38.020 So, you know, if he buys a company, it's probably kind of the same thing.
00:15:42.040 And thank you to the chat.
00:15:43.040 Their stock is up.
00:15:45.200 Thanks for looking.
00:15:46.080 There's a laser weapons in the Operation Epic Fury.
00:15:53.480 Anything like future, like I love, you know, I'm a Star Trek fan.
00:15:57.960 I'm sorry to sorry to disappoint you guys, but I am New York Post details the deployment
00:16:06.660 of U.S. laser weapons, set them to stun, including the Navy's Helios and Odin systems.
00:16:14.540 I love the names.
00:16:15.860 The U.S. Israeli strike on Iran starting in February, the neutralized over 200 Iranian
00:16:22.220 ballistic missiles launchers with just six U.S. casualties.
00:16:25.560 There was a study on the lasers and I guess it's unlimited ammo, but at the same time, it's
00:16:33.540 limited at this point because it's the atmosphere reduces the range against high speed missiles,
00:16:42.860 suggesting that the main thing that you can use the lasers for is drones and small threats
00:16:50.000 and retaliation attempts.
00:16:54.300 And the force that is involved in the laser shooting, I suppose, is Space Force, which was
00:17:01.580 created back in 2019 under Donald Trump's first administration term.
00:17:09.560 So any laser thing, Sergio?
00:17:14.160 I love this story so much.
00:17:15.860 Lasers are, I grew up, I mean, I grew up wanting to be around lasers and then I ended up working
00:17:22.560 with lasers for many years.
00:17:24.500 Then my last job was a product manager at a company in my last, well, 2009, I left that
00:17:30.920 company and they were developing this kind of stuff, but not exactly.
00:17:37.640 Okay.
00:17:37.820 It was high voltage directed through a laser and it was, but it was the, the idea was the
00:17:44.060 same to, for the fans to destroy the enemy.
00:17:48.080 But let me take you back to the 1980s a little bit.
00:17:50.780 Okay.
00:17:51.360 So Reagan, a famously, a show the world, what America was potentially able to do, right?
00:17:59.480 Star Wars.
00:18:00.580 And the idea is that, you know, don't worry, we're going to protect you.
00:18:04.420 We have these laser beams right now.
00:18:06.900 We only have the movies of it, right?
00:18:09.100 I met the guy that created the CGI for that.
00:18:12.860 And they actually created, um, going into, yeah, to, to show it to Reagan, right.
00:18:19.240 When they were trying to sell the technology and they had a missile going into Santa Barbara,
00:18:24.280 where he's from to make sure that he knew that.
00:18:26.800 Okay.
00:18:27.100 But that's a side story.
00:18:28.900 The thing is that in 1980s, it was, it was just like a science fantasy, right?
00:18:32.680 Star Wars, the movies and everything.
00:18:34.180 It was just a fantasy.
00:18:36.340 And then 2000s, I started, you know, I was working in a company with a secret clearance
00:18:42.040 that I couldn't say anything, but it was just the marketing guys showing pictures of
00:18:48.220 boats with laser beams, right?
00:18:50.480 And to tell the story yesterday, when I saw it happening, I almost got a tear in my eye,
00:18:55.380 right?
00:18:55.740 To see that happening in real life that we're living in the future right now.
00:19:00.520 We are actually, it's happening.
00:19:03.120 And, and when, when Trump said we have unlimited supply, that's what a lot of this means,
00:19:09.180 you know, because it's just electricity.
00:19:11.200 It's just energy.
00:19:12.400 You can destroy, you can be kinetic.
00:19:14.100 Now you can take anything you want out and it's amazing.
00:19:19.240 So that's what you wanted.
00:19:20.600 I'm glad that you brought that story out because it reminds me of my children, my, my childhood,
00:19:25.700 you know?
00:19:26.240 And that's, I mean, like who would have thought someone here has a laser passion?
00:19:33.080 It's Sergio.
00:19:34.460 And where are my ladies?
00:19:36.140 Hair removal, like laser for your skin.
00:19:40.060 I mean, we used in the company award to another company, we use laces to grow hair and also
00:19:46.160 to take out hair. 0.98
00:19:47.400 Yes.
00:19:48.020 We do that too.
00:19:50.860 Yes.
00:19:51.860 All right.
00:19:52.660 That was your news.
00:19:55.040 Yeah.
00:19:55.580 Owen.
00:19:56.160 And I, well, I, I think, uh, it, I still think we have a ways to go with drone defense
00:20:02.300 and even with lasers.
00:20:03.240 I think we're not as not where we need to be in terms of capacity and all that, but I
00:20:07.480 do think it seems to be the way of the future.
00:20:09.660 I think the iron beam is the Israeli laser weapon and that apparently is being used in
00:20:14.820 this effort.
00:20:15.380 So I guess we're finding out how effective it is.
00:20:18.300 Um, and as far as I know, Israel is doing pretty well in terms of getting rid of all, 1.00
00:20:22.520 most of the missiles coming in.
00:20:23.860 And it does seem like it's the most promising method they have.
00:20:26.800 And I know we've been testing some things in Texas around those areas to shoot down
00:20:31.480 drones.
00:20:32.460 Um, so it does seem like we're moving in that direction, but I think, um, you know, from
00:20:36.480 what I understand, some of this is being done with satellites too.
00:20:39.840 We're not, not shooting them down from space, but, um, you know, just detecting launches
00:20:45.480 and things like that and being able to target things pretty precisely.
00:20:49.100 Um, but I think at this point we're still shooting things down with, you know, Patriot missiles
00:20:52.760 and things like that.
00:20:53.460 So I think we still have a ways to go to get more efficient.
00:20:56.660 Um, cause I think one of the problems right now is it's so asymmetric.
00:20:59.380 You have maybe a $50,000 shot head drone and we're shooting it down with a million dollar
00:21:05.160 missile.
00:21:05.960 So that doesn't really make sustainable sense over a longer period of time.
00:21:11.160 I, I still think we're going to come out on top of this one.
00:21:13.380 Cause I think we've pretty much taken out their capability to even launch things.
00:21:17.180 But, um, you know, in terms of longer term where things are headed, I think we need
00:21:21.820 to get better with the lasers and other things to be able to put up some kind of real defense
00:21:26.800 against drones.
00:21:28.280 Interesting.
00:21:28.880 I'm like, there's so many interesting comments about, you know, maybe the Maui fire was started
00:21:34.900 by a laser.
00:21:37.320 Yeah.
00:21:37.880 Or paradise fire in California was set to have started that way.
00:21:42.160 Yeah.
00:21:42.560 All those blue roofs, you know, if you paint your, your roof blue, or if it's a direct energy
00:21:47.740 weapon.
00:21:48.300 I think we're getting into conspiracy theory territory at this point.
00:21:52.740 All right.
00:21:53.320 Owen, do you have another story?
00:21:54.780 Well, we're talking about drones.
00:21:55.960 So let me throw in that there's the world's first bamboo fiber drone that reached 62 miles
00:22:01.180 an hour and its first test flight in China.
00:22:03.780 Um, so they made a, uh, it's one of the fixed wing, you know, like plane style drones.
00:22:08.760 Um, but the wingspan is like eight feet, two inches.
00:22:11.440 It only weighs 15 pounds.
00:22:13.140 It does vertical takeoff landing.
00:22:14.760 It can go over 62 miles an hour.
00:22:16.560 It can stay in the air over an hour.
00:22:18.900 Um, and it's like 20% lighter and 20% cheaper than carbon fiber.
00:22:23.460 So I guess my question is, Sergio, are you going to have a bamboo drone pretty soon?
00:22:28.060 You know what?
00:22:29.340 Anything that is, if it was American made, I will buy it. 1.00
00:22:32.300 You know, I don't care if it's made of, uh, um, uh, you know, weed.
00:22:36.120 I don't care as long as it's, uh, hemp, you can make it out of hemp, but we need American
00:22:41.940 drones.
00:22:42.680 There's no, there's all, they're all Chinese made. 1.00
00:22:44.760 They have the best technology for, uh, for rescue operations for, for, for everything.
00:22:50.140 And, um, and the American is not there yet. 0.61
00:22:53.660 So we, we need like people like Steve jobs, you know, we need somebody that invents new
00:22:59.000 stuff.
00:22:59.360 You know, we, I know we have, um, our friend James, you know, maybe he can invent the drones
00:23:04.840 for America, you know, from the spaces, the inventor of the phone, we know him so we can
00:23:11.040 recruit him into this.
00:23:12.160 Uh, so yeah, I don't know when, why would you want me to say on this, man?
00:23:16.940 Um, I have a story.
00:23:19.160 You're looking at me like, so staring at me.
00:23:20.740 Does Erica have something to say about bamboo?
00:23:23.840 No.
00:23:24.920 Okay.
00:23:26.820 Um, I have a good story.
00:23:28.540 Uh, it's the U.S. Senator versus a veteran Marine protester.
00:23:33.060 I don't know.
00:23:33.460 Most of you probably saw the video on X or on Facebook, dear Lord.
00:23:38.560 Um, there was a dramatic moment on Capitol Hill when, um, Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana,
00:23:45.800 a former Navy SEAL, stepped in to assist the U S Capitol police to, uh, forcefully remove
00:23:53.060 a disruptive protester.
00:23:55.820 His name was, his name is, he's still with us.
00:23:59.460 It's Brian C. McGinnis, a Marine court veteran from North Carolina, but he is also a green 0.97
00:24:06.360 party, uh, candidate for U S Senate.
00:24:09.760 Uh, he got what he wanted as Scott would say, part of persuasion is getting attention.
00:24:16.580 And McGinnis has now made it where he's binged.
00:24:21.660 His videos are being shared.
00:24:23.020 His wife's, uh, videos are being shared.
00:24:25.300 So he got maybe what he wanted.
00:24:27.900 Um, so basically he was protesting, saying that, uh, you know, no one wants to fight
00:24:33.960 for Israel, uh, that basically our sons and daughters are dying for Israel.
00:24:38.580 And that's what he was yelling at, at the subcommittee.
00:24:43.020 Um, and I know that the Capitol police officers, three of them were injured.
00:24:48.300 And when she, he, and Senator, she, he later said that he intervened to deescalate the situation
00:24:57.040 because the Marine was, uh, Marine veteran was fighting back.
00:25:01.800 And I have a, want me to show you the little clip here?
00:25:04.220 Yeah.
00:25:04.960 I heard he broke his hand to the protester.
00:25:08.400 That she, he, the Senator broke my goodness, his hand when he grabbed them right there.
00:25:15.460 So she, he is the one with the suit.
00:25:17.800 Yeah.
00:25:18.200 He just came in.
00:25:19.180 He's a big dude.
00:25:20.080 Remember video is not always, you know?
00:25:22.240 Yeah.
00:25:22.820 He's like, I think he was trying to get him.
00:25:24.280 He's like grabbing on the door.
00:25:25.420 He's like, let go already.
00:25:27.720 But the guy's got that Marine strength and the anger.
00:25:32.000 Uh-oh, Stella's here just warning you. 0.98
00:25:34.340 Oh, yes.
00:25:35.360 I think this guy is also a candidate for public office somewhere, like in Congress.
00:25:40.180 So it's very much a political stunt.
00:25:42.800 Uh, he's a candidate for the Green Party for the U.S. Senate for North Carolina.
00:25:47.700 Um, it was a bummer to see that though, like in his uniform and everything.
00:25:51.460 I was like, you know, there's better.
00:25:53.620 You know, he-
00:25:54.160 He also did a video of, um, with his, his wife is, uh, I'm not sure if he's Muslim,
00:25:59.760 but his wife, uh, is wearing hijab and has made different anti-Israeli, um, statements.
00:26:07.120 Is his wife Linda Sarsour?
00:26:09.820 No.
00:26:10.700 They said that she looked like her, but they were-
00:26:13.220 Oh, I saw a post that said that.
00:26:15.160 Yeah.
00:26:15.880 Then some people were like, that's not really her.
00:26:18.000 So it's, it's to be determined, I suppose.
00:26:21.300 But he himself has made videos, which Laura Loomer shared today on X, um, where he's wearing
00:26:28.600 a keffiyeh. 0.99
00:26:29.960 A keffiyeh is a black and white scarf that means Palestinian resistance.
00:26:34.840 And he was saying in this video that, uh, Laura got that he is Palestinian.
00:26:42.340 So-
00:26:42.540 All right.
00:26:42.680 Well, let's not give him any more attention until he wants to act like civil.
00:26:46.760 The only thing I would add to it is just, I don't think it's right that he would do
00:26:49.880 that kind of protest in his military uniform.
00:26:53.000 Oh yeah.
00:26:53.320 That's the other thing.
00:26:54.380 Yeah.
00:26:55.060 I mean, from a, okay.
00:26:56.180 So just from a visual persuasion, uh, point of view, it is amazing, you know, with the,
00:27:00.020 with the uniform specifically using uniform specifically because it creates
00:27:04.660 that, um, division in people's minds, right?
00:27:07.200 Like, oh, that's dishonor.
00:27:09.000 But the other side is like, wow, Tom Cruise, 4th of July, you know, the hero up there, you
00:27:14.160 know, saying, seriously, that's the programming already in people's heads.
00:27:18.140 So this is the thing.
00:27:19.840 Like it used to be that politicians, when they wanted to campaign, um, they had to go on
00:27:25.040 the radio, give interviews and write a book and all this stuff.
00:27:28.520 Right now they go like, what is that the nearest place where I can get arrested?
00:27:32.860 You know, trying to protest, make a big deal, get your broken arm.
00:27:38.940 Um, and, uh, we are, I mean, it's a shame.
00:27:42.240 The whole thing was a shame.
00:27:43.240 I just think he could have made this, I just think he could have made the same spectacle
00:27:46.940 without the uniform.
00:27:48.360 Yeah.
00:27:48.680 You know, he could have done the same exact thing with the same resistance, everything
00:27:52.160 else.
00:27:52.960 And he probably would have gotten just as much publicity, but by doing it in uniform, I think
00:27:57.260 he disgraced the uniform, he disgraced himself and, and other Marines, because you can't
00:28:03.620 like, you can't have, you can't politicize the military uniform that way.
00:28:08.560 You just can't do it either, either side.
00:28:10.100 You just can't say, you know, bad things about the government when you're in uniform.
00:28:16.240 That's trained from the very beginning.
00:28:18.260 He knows that everybody knows that.
00:28:20.400 And anybody who's familiar with the military will know that you're not supposed to make
00:28:23.740 any kind of political statements when you're in uniform and it's like burning a flag, right?
00:28:28.200 If you burn a flag, you get a lot of hate, right?
00:28:30.660 Like right now, right?
00:28:31.860 You know, we're going to feel like, oh man, these guys do respect in the uniform, the energy.
00:28:37.040 That's what they want.
00:28:38.020 Well, it's a little different because I believe, I don't know.
00:28:40.740 And I think it's illegal to use the uniform for political reasons.
00:28:44.420 You make an oath, uh, while a flag, like you're not making an oath and that's been known
00:28:49.640 to be allowed, uh, under freedom of speech while I believe wearing a uniform and making
00:28:55.300 any kind of political statement on either side is not allowed.
00:28:59.920 All right, let's move on. 0.98
00:29:01.340 I can't stand this guy for doing that and he's a disgrace and he should be ashamed of 0.98
00:29:06.600 himself if he clearly has no shame. 0.90
00:29:08.700 I don't want to hear about him ever again.
00:29:10.960 Okay.
00:29:11.640 All right, Owen.
00:29:13.460 Uh, well, apparently the DC restaurants are facing an existential threat because Trump is
00:29:18.640 getting rid of all the illegal immigrants. 1.00
00:29:21.040 Um, they apparently have lost a bunch of workers due to letters that are checking all their
00:29:25.400 legal status.
00:29:26.080 They have 10 days to respond or they face $5,724 fines per person.
00:29:31.700 Um, some have lost dozens of cooks and servers and managers, and they're worried that the whole
00:29:36.100 industry is going to collapse.
00:29:38.140 Um, so that's happening.
00:29:41.000 I do think personally, I applaud, you know, being consistent and actually going after the work
00:29:46.100 permit part of this, because I think overall I've said for a very long time, I think the
00:29:51.840 way to stop illegal immigration is to take away all the financial incentives and, you 0.96
00:29:55.800 know, starting with things like welfare and medical care and free education and all the
00:29:59.620 different handouts and cash that we're giving these people.
00:30:01.900 But I think their, their ability to work is another piece of it.
00:30:06.100 Um, I'm sure there are a lot of people that are working under the table and it's hard to
00:30:09.040 stop that, but wherever you can, I think you need to say, you know, we, we should not only
00:30:13.420 go after the people who are working illegally, but the companies that are employing them.
00:30:17.640 And so I think that it's, to me, it's a good thing that they're starting to do this.
00:30:21.320 And I do think it may be an issue in terms of how we staff these restaurants, but I think,
00:30:26.320 you know, hopefully that would mean they would raise wages to the points where Americans 0.93
00:30:29.460 would want to work there and it might mean prices have to go up, but you know, to me,
00:30:34.560 it, it shouldn't be that you would subsidize things by having illegal immigrants do the 1.00
00:30:38.840 jobs.
00:30:40.400 Well, you know, there was this idea that, um, Gen C or, or teenagers, I don't know, Gen
00:30:46.260 Alpha, I suppose, um, they weren't able to get jobs.
00:30:52.180 Um, now that could be a thing where like young people can actually work at restaurants like
00:30:58.260 they did in the past.
00:30:59.940 Um, and there are other people looking for a job.
00:31:02.900 Now I know that, uh, that type of job wouldn't, um, garner much wages and DC is very expensive.
00:31:10.620 Virginia, also the Metro area there is very expensive to live.
00:31:15.040 So, you know, it could be somebody, young people can work there, I suppose.
00:31:21.400 Um, yeah, the only thing is, is young people don't want to do these jobs anymore for some
00:31:27.860 reason.
00:31:28.160 I mean, maybe if the wages were slightly higher, but you know, it's weird how like these jobs,
00:31:35.260 like, can I just use McDonald's as an example?
00:31:37.560 Cause that's what we always use when I was a kid.
00:31:39.900 Um, you know, you'd say like, you'd get a job at McDonald's, like after high school,
00:31:44.200 like while you're, it's a stepping stone, right?
00:31:47.100 So like McDonald's, something like that was, or like working in a restaurant, like a bus
00:31:52.240 boy, a waitress, like a diner or something. 0.99
00:31:54.980 It was supposed to be a stepping stone while you're like, my first job, McDonald's.
00:32:00.240 There you go.
00:32:00.880 Right.
00:32:01.140 So like, it's a stepping stone to your next thing, to your career.
00:32:04.000 And like, you just keep advancing and advancing, advancing.
00:32:06.500 But the problem is, is now it's become a thing where people are like, well, I can't pay
00:32:12.300 my mortgage working at McDonald's.
00:32:13.960 And it's like, but you were never supposed to pay your mortgage working at McDonald's.
00:32:18.100 But it's like, you know, so we're, so it's like, okay, so if we raise the wages, are more
00:32:23.380 people going to get stuck at McDonald's thinking they can buy a house or are young people going
00:32:28.860 to step up and be like, okay, we'll fulfill those jobs.
00:32:31.560 Like the way it kind of was supposed to be.
00:32:33.700 I don't know.
00:32:34.600 I don't know if it's going to matter.
00:32:37.320 And that's Trump's, uh, slogan, lower prices, higher wages.
00:32:40.940 It's, it's always doing that.
00:32:42.580 So we'll see how we get those through.
00:32:45.800 Yeah.
00:32:46.160 Um, Tim Walsh, uh, testified before Congress in regards to the Minnesota fraud.
00:32:51.240 Uh, he was, uh, before the house oversight committee yesterday and, uh, answering questions.
00:32:58.020 So was the attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, who's a blast.
00:33:03.580 Um, so basically it was just, again, a Kabuki theater, like there was just acting the Democrats 0.51
00:33:11.540 on one side, all they wanted to ask or defend Tim Walsh and, uh, attorney general, Keith Ellison.
00:33:19.540 All they did was I, to leave was there.
00:33:23.280 Um, all she did was like, oh, have you seen the fraud Trump has created?
00:33:27.520 Like, how dare he, the other Congresswoman was reading, like how many children were left
00:33:35.420 orphaned by ICE, killing their parents.
00:33:39.180 Yet nobody mentions that the reason ICE had to do anything with their parents is because
00:33:44.080 they did some illegal action, which is come to this country illegally, but anyways, and
00:33:48.840 not listening to them while giving them orders.
00:33:52.120 Um, but basically the Democrats on one side did not want to talk about the fraud and just
00:33:58.520 reacted in this fashion.
00:34:00.540 But, um, Jim Jordan represented, Jim Jordan accused Minnesota governor of misleading the
00:34:06.580 public.
00:34:07.120 He questioned him.
00:34:08.780 Um, Tim Walsh, Tim Walsh was shaking his, I guess his shoes, his boots.
00:34:13.920 I don't know.
00:34:15.260 But he was like, oh my God, oh my God.
00:34:17.720 He looked really nervous and he, um, didn't know how to answer certain questions.
00:34:23.940 Um, basically he was asked about a feeding our future children, nutrition fraud scandal
00:34:31.420 that came up in 2021.
00:34:33.280 So in 2021, the feeding our future NGO, or however you're going to say it, uh, was found.
00:34:40.280 There was fraud concerns in March of 2021 in April of 20.
00:34:45.640 So in March of 2021, the Minnesota government stopped funding it because they were giving
00:34:51.840 it $250 million.
00:34:53.440 I mean, not $2, not $3, $250 and they stopped it.
00:34:58.920 Once they found out there was fraud in April, one month later, they allowed the funding to
00:35:04.240 go forward.
00:35:05.160 And Jim Jordan went after Tim Walsh and wanted to know why the funding continued after knowing
00:35:13.000 there was possible fraud.
00:35:14.820 And then Tim Walsh came back and said, oh, there was an order by a judge saying that we
00:35:20.540 needed to do that.
00:35:21.440 Jim Jordan, of course, did his homework.
00:35:23.460 There was no order by any kind of judge.
00:35:25.420 The presiding judge never did such an order and, uh, caught him red handed.
00:35:30.400 Uh, Tim Walsh did not know how to answer that.
00:35:33.020 Um, Tim Walsh also were asked, uh, regarding whether reporting fraud was racist.
00:35:39.380 And he was like, oh no, I've never done that.
00:35:42.500 Um, a lot of the, a lot of the people that have come out and actually, um, the, they have
00:35:52.520 actually reported the fraud have been Democrats themselves.
00:35:56.060 And they've been told that they're racist because a lot of the fraud is being, that's
00:36:03.540 being alleged or has been prosecuted is by Somali Americans or Somalis themselves.
00:36:10.180 So the administration of Tim Walsh has always pushed back on these people that have come
00:36:17.200 out, uh, with, you know, uh, whistleblowers that have come out against it and have been
00:36:25.940 ostracized allegedly pursuant to these, uh, these, uh, whistleblowers.
00:36:31.660 And they, he was questioned and he was like, oh no, I don't know anything about that.
00:36:36.520 So a lot of, I don't knows when it came down to it.
00:36:39.820 And then, um, to leave was questioning Keith Ellison.
00:36:43.540 He, she said, oh, attorney general Keith Ellison, uh, what would you be doing right now?
00:36:49.960 Like, instead of being here, what would you be doing?
00:36:53.440 Because obviously you'd be inventing gravity or something, you know, not that she said that,
00:36:57.820 but that's the feeling like, oh, how wasteful are, is your time that you have to be here
00:37:04.240 to talk about fraud that you've possibly done on the people of Minnesota.
00:37:09.160 And then attorney general Ellison said, oh, oh my gosh, yeah, that's a good question.
00:37:15.580 I would be doing, uh, actually I was supposed to work on a fraud, uh, regulation legislation
00:37:23.080 in regards to fraud, because I'm a, I'm a anti-fraud person and that's, that's what you
00:37:29.680 get.
00:37:30.140 So there you are.
00:37:30.940 Some say the bubbles in an arrow truffle piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth.
00:37:36.880 Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light, rich, creamy, chocolatey
00:37:42.360 arrow truffle.
00:37:43.400 Feel the arrow bubbles melt.
00:37:45.420 It's mind bubbling.
00:37:47.220 I have nothing to add to that, but I, but except for, I fricking love branding, uh, Gill.
00:37:53.640 Do you guys know branding, Gill?
00:37:55.040 Oh, he went after Tim Walsh too.
00:37:57.940 Oh, good.
00:37:58.820 So he's married to Dinesh D'Souza's daughter, Brandon Gill, and he, he has like the most
00:38:05.640 monotone dry way of speaking.
00:38:07.780 And he's just like, uh, what does he walls?
00:38:12.700 He's a Senator, no, a governor.
00:38:14.940 He's like, uh, governor Walsh, do you believe it's a racist to talk about fraud?
00:38:24.260 Oh yeah.
00:38:24.600 Yeah.
00:38:24.800 It was him.
00:38:25.780 And Walsh is like, uh, no, it's not racist.
00:38:28.040 And he's like, do you believe it?
00:38:30.460 You know, like whatever he says.
00:38:31.760 And so he gets walls to like agree, like, well, none of those things would be racist.
00:38:35.280 He's like, and why is it, sir, that, and he like just keeps going on and on.
00:38:40.380 But Brandon Gill, you guys, he is one to watch.
00:38:42.820 He just won reelection.
00:38:44.300 Thank God.
00:38:45.600 Um, I think he looks like Superman.
00:38:49.080 He's just, Oh, that's the guy he's comedy gold.
00:38:54.400 He is comedy gold and he's so effective.
00:38:57.260 And what I like is, you know, he's like a younger generation.
00:39:00.780 He just shows me once again, like term limits, please let these younger people come in who 1.00
00:39:07.240 are more cunning and you know how to use persuasion better.
00:39:11.900 Um, I, I love him.
00:39:14.280 So Brandon Gill, make sure you guys follow him just for fun.
00:39:18.980 Ladies should follow him for sure. 1.00
00:39:22.700 I enjoyed the whiteboard lesson that Nancy Mace put on during this display when she brought 0.99
00:39:28.820 out the whiteboard and she was trying to lead through the migration math, immigration
00:39:32.680 math or something like that, where she was like, okay, in 2017, Tim, you know, how much
00:39:37.460 was your state spending on autism?
00:39:39.820 And of course, Tim's like, I don't know, I don't have that number.
00:39:43.000 And he kept saying that sort of response to everything that she was saying.
00:39:46.920 And she, he, and she eventually was like, did you prepare for this at all?
00:39:50.500 Like, did you prepare for this, this, you know, briefing?
00:39:54.180 Because like, you don't seem to know basic facts, like even how many kids you have in
00:39:57.320 your state.
00:39:58.440 And, um, he's like, well, I don't know.
00:40:00.980 And he didn't really have an answer for that.
00:40:02.480 And he's like, of course I prepared for this.
00:40:03.900 And it's like, well, you don't seem to know very basic facts.
00:40:06.560 I mean, the attorney in me would say if a client was coming to me and they were going
00:40:12.180 to be deposed or they would testify in front of government, the, the main thing is I don't
00:40:17.120 recall, I don't know, um, unless you want to pitch and point yourself into it.
00:40:23.700 So yeah, no, I get that, but he's also a governor of a huge state of Minnesota.
00:40:30.000 So he's representing his people.
00:40:31.620 Like, I, I, I get that from a legal defense standpoint and that he has to be careful about
00:40:36.440 what he says.
00:40:37.460 But, um, this, the, the questions being asked were just basic things.
00:40:42.440 Like how much did you spend in this year on this thing?
00:40:44.700 Or how many, like, what's the total population of your state?
00:40:48.600 How many of our kids?
00:40:50.760 What is your name?
00:40:52.160 What's your state flag?
00:40:53.680 You know, so it definitely embarrassed him, I think, to say he didn't even really know how
00:40:58.200 many kids were in his state.
00:40:58.620 He was nervous.
00:40:59.460 He was very nervous.
00:41:00.460 And so, you know, she was basically making the point, just if you didn't watch it, that,
00:41:05.680 you know, they spent like something like $1 million on autism in 2017 and some like massively
00:41:11.300 bigger number a few years later.
00:41:13.740 And it didn't make any sense.
00:41:14.960 Yeah.
00:41:15.080 Like 46 million.
00:41:16.820 Yeah.
00:41:17.100 It was crazy.
00:41:18.220 And, um, so I, I don't know.
00:41:20.460 I just, I enjoyed the whiteboard lesson.
00:41:21.880 It made me think a little bit of Scott where he brings out his whiteboard, but, um,
00:41:25.740 She's funny Mace.
00:41:27.940 Yeah.
00:41:28.660 All right.
00:41:29.160 Well, I'm going to go back to immigration. 0.99
00:41:30.820 I have a couple of stories, actually.
00:41:31.940 One is that we had a big win in Supreme court.
00:41:35.140 Um, they ruled that, um, Trump, well, that, that, that immigration judges basically have
00:41:43.340 the say over whether someone's deported and, and you can't just go to a regular judge and
00:41:47.380 have them overrule what the asylum judge said.
00:41:50.860 So, um, interestingly, it was unanimous.
00:41:55.180 The, the opinion was written by Ketanji Brown Jackson.
00:41:58.480 Um, and so, uh, you know, it was interesting to me that just across the board, including
00:42:04.240 who you would expect to be against it, um, is basically ruling that says, you can't, you
00:42:08.920 can't just go to a court and cry and say the asylum judge didn't give me the right decision.
00:42:12.440 And any judge could just overrule it, that basically it has to be a much higher standard.
00:42:17.560 They said it's conclusive in the asylum judge hearing, unless a reasonable adjudicator could
00:42:23.600 be, would be compelled to conclude the contrary.
00:42:25.720 And they defined a substantial evidence standard.
00:42:29.320 So if there is substantial evidence, basically that means that decision's final.
00:42:32.540 So it means a lot more people could probably get deported a lot more quickly.
00:42:35.380 It's going to be a lot harder to fight these things.
00:42:38.880 Um, and so we had a unanimous decision for, for Trump.
00:42:42.640 Um, and then in Colorado, um, like a lot of places, ice has been having this problem with
00:42:48.700 people tracking their vehicles.
00:42:49.840 And, you know, so they have a new undercover vehicle, a new model car that they're using.
00:42:54.920 Can you guess what it is?
00:42:57.480 Is it a Tesla?
00:42:59.260 I don't know.
00:42:59.720 No, that would be a bad choice.
00:43:02.240 Think opposite.
00:43:03.980 Um, a Toyota.
00:43:06.620 A Cadillac.
00:43:08.540 Cadillac.
00:43:10.100 No.
00:43:10.960 Don't let us guess. 0.94
00:43:12.220 It'll be ridiculous.
00:43:12.840 Wait, wait, give us a clue.
00:43:14.420 A Wienermobile.
00:43:15.300 What is it?
00:43:16.020 What, what would be a kind of car that you would not expect ice to be driving?
00:43:19.960 Or that would potentially be the, the people that would be protesting ice might be driving.
00:43:24.360 Oh, a Subaru.
00:43:25.160 A food truck.
00:43:25.960 A food truck.
00:43:26.440 A food truck.
00:43:27.180 You got it.
00:43:28.040 It's a Subaru Outback.
00:43:29.460 They're starting to use Subaru Outbacks now as their undercover vehicles.
00:43:34.280 Oh my God.
00:43:35.180 Nick Sorter was posting about this and he said, you know, it's a brilliant tactic. 0.99
00:43:38.760 It's the official vehicle of white leftist lesbians. 1.00
00:43:42.160 Um, and so it's going to be a lot harder for them to tell when there's an ice person driving 0.99
00:43:46.020 down their streets.
00:43:47.320 Everybody was guessing in the chat. 1.00
00:43:48.980 And you got to put like stupid stickers all over the back of it. 0.99
00:43:53.180 Well, there was someone who replied, said they should put a coexist bumper sticker on it. 1.00
00:43:57.040 And, you know, so.
00:43:58.700 Something about the environment.
00:44:00.140 Yeah. 0.99
00:44:00.420 They're wondering whether people are going to start going after the white leftist lesbians 0.99
00:44:04.260 and their Subaru Outbacks now that they know this. 0.98
00:44:06.040 I'm with her.
00:44:07.040 I'm with her.
00:44:07.160 Yeah.
00:44:07.660 I love that.
00:44:10.160 All righty.
00:44:12.160 The U.S. Senate rejects war powers check on Trump.
00:44:15.920 Uh, just the news reporting that the U.S.
00:44:18.360 Senator delivered a major blow to efforts to limit President Trump's military campaign in Iran.
00:44:23.380 Uh, the decisive vote was 47 to 53, largely along party lines.
00:44:28.600 Interestingly enough, a Republican senator, Rand Paul, voted against, uh, uh, Trump having this war power.
00:44:35.980 Um, and, uh, another interesting, but not surprising Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted with the Republicans to allow for Trump to keep going in Operation Epic Fury.
00:44:48.660 And that was, uh, that worried some people whether the Senate could, like, actually get a vote and pass something.
00:44:58.840 Yeah.
00:44:59.320 And, uh, a lot of, uh, personalities online.
00:45:03.060 I think Jack Posovic online was, uh, reposting it and said, now do the save act.
00:45:09.540 I think it was him.
00:45:10.960 Some of the people were like, okay, so now you did this.
00:45:14.100 So we know you can actually vote and actually do something.
00:45:17.260 Um, so the save act was regarding to the voting for, uh, voting ID for federal elections that has not been put to the floor in the Senate.
00:45:28.640 It has been stuck, uh, basically in limbo, but it's good.
00:45:33.040 I mean, it, it shows that the U S Senate supports Trump in this, uh, in the, this operation.
00:45:41.380 They've been given, um, intelligence regarding it by now.
00:45:46.460 So if there's sufficient evidence for them to support it and, but party lines, except for round.
00:45:54.680 And Fetterman, Fetterman's poor man's, uh, wait, what was his name?
00:46:01.100 The guy that used to be there?
00:46:04.680 Fetterman's the poor man's Joe Manchin.
00:46:06.740 He, um, Fetterman is, you know, even the name says, right, Fetterman, he has man on the name, right?
00:46:13.280 He is the, the best, strongest man in their, in their party, right?
00:46:19.200 And now he's siding in the common sense side with Trump.
00:46:24.960 Um, that's an amazing shift that I'm seeing, right?
00:46:27.720 To see that they, they're, you know, he's, he, he had a brain damage, right?
00:46:32.680 He went through brain damage, you know, repair and he's, you know, thinking so great now.
00:46:38.520 I mean, I love it, you know, how he been, what he was watching the news yesterday.
00:46:42.320 What are you saying about Republicans, Sergio?
00:46:44.680 Uh, what do you mean?
00:46:46.740 Like the, you know, I mean, the Republicans that are pro-Trump, uh, they are pro-American.
00:46:51.560 So that's great.
00:46:52.500 I'm saying Fetterman was a Democrat, then he was brain damaged and now he's thinking like a Republican.
00:46:57.760 Is that what you're saying?
00:46:59.100 Well, he just like.
00:47:00.740 No, he stopped thinking like a Democrat.
00:47:02.280 No, but like Erica is good at bringing up Manchin because what would Scott say about Fetterman?
00:47:09.700 Fetterman now has a lot of power because he can, uh, his boat can be the societal factor.
00:47:20.380 Yeah.
00:47:21.140 Well, he, Fetterman found the money.
00:47:24.020 Fetterman is the guy that found the money, right?
00:47:26.000 Scott used to say that he would not leave the money, that he would pick up the money.
00:47:30.300 He picked it up.
00:47:30.940 So last night he was watching the news and he was saying, wow, look at that torpedo attack.
00:47:37.080 He watches this.
00:47:38.020 Boom.
00:47:38.840 Yeah.
00:47:39.100 He was watching it and, and, and he's excited about it because it is, it is a, um, it is 0.86
00:47:44.840 a worthy fight that we're fighting and it's a, it's going to be a suck.
00:47:48.460 It's going to be painful sacrifice, but, uh, it's being done for the future generations
00:47:53.080 for our kids, basically.
00:47:55.500 Um, I do love watching Fetterman when he was, when they were talking about, you know,
00:48:00.480 the press was talking to him, like you're saying about the ships being sunk or whatever.
00:48:04.260 He's like, it was actually pretty cool.
00:48:06.780 It's just like, yeah, you're just being honest.
00:48:09.420 Like you're just using common sense.
00:48:11.280 It's okay.
00:48:12.120 You don't have to be a puppet, right?
00:48:14.120 You're allowed to say what people are actually thinking without, you know, putting a filter
00:48:19.480 on like, will my friends be mad at me?
00:48:21.460 So I appreciate that.
00:48:22.820 And there are these exceptions, but I would also say, if you looked at Fetterman's record,
00:48:26.260 he pretty much votes Democrat most of the time.
00:48:28.260 So, you know, don't be fooled that he's.
00:48:30.480 Some Republican in disguise.
00:48:32.020 He's not.
00:48:32.500 Famous mansion.
00:48:33.580 But it's giving the role model, uh, um, a chance, you know, giving people a chance on
00:48:38.500 the left to say, you know what?
00:48:39.600 I can do that too.
00:48:40.860 I can also stand up and be like Fetterman.
00:48:44.640 Maybe.
00:48:46.620 Yeah.
00:48:47.140 I mean, I just, I just want to be, you know, clear that I don't really think Fetterman is
00:48:52.480 on our side.
00:48:53.180 I don't think he's there.
00:48:54.440 I do think he's smarter than a lot of the other ones in terms of how he talks.
00:48:57.340 But I, I think, you know, it, it probably would be a better strategy if more Democrats
00:49:03.700 were like him and were more reasonable and would speak more common sense rather than just
00:49:09.960 embracing this radical agenda and saying crazy things all the time.
00:49:12.880 But, um, you know, to me, that's the extent of it.
00:49:16.520 Like he still votes with the Democrats most of the time.
00:49:19.220 And I, I, I find this whole thing kind of just a bunch of theater because it, correct
00:49:22.880 me if I'm wrong, but if, if they had passed this resolution, wouldn't it have just been
00:49:26.780 vetoed?
00:49:27.140 Well, I mean.
00:49:27.880 Theater, theater is the show.
00:49:29.800 The show is, is the theater, right?
00:49:31.520 Theater is, is everything.
00:49:33.040 Is the persuasion of it, right?
00:49:34.860 There's no separation between the theater part and the government part.
00:49:38.620 Basically it's all together now, right?
00:49:40.160 Well, I mean, to an extent, but my point is that like, I, my understanding is any legislation
00:49:45.680 relating to this would have to be signed by the president and he can veto it, right?
00:49:50.420 Yeah.
00:49:50.820 And, and the, there was also the issue of besides the veto, there's also the issue where the,
00:49:57.140 the war powers act is even constitutional, um, which is what Marco Rubio was alleging,
00:50:03.020 um, was saying that they've done the 48 hour notice to Congress and they've talked to the,
00:50:09.460 the, yeah, what is it?
00:50:12.340 The eight, um, gang of eight, the gang of eight.
00:50:16.020 And, um, basically he was saying that the war powers act in their determination is not
00:50:22.000 constitutional and does not, um, allow Congress to tell, uh, the executive branch what to do
00:50:29.020 in regards to war as it's, uh, the camera, commander in chief that does that.
00:50:34.680 So you can see that he could have vetoed it.
00:50:38.160 And also, um, yeah, there's, there's so much precedent behind this.
00:50:43.820 I mean, everything from Iraq to, you know, all the different things we've done in Afghanistan,
00:50:48.920 everywhere else, that it all follows that same procedure.
00:50:52.040 But what does that tell you, Owen, that they support it?
00:50:54.680 So like the optics is the persuasion is that they are supportive of the president, right?
00:51:02.400 So that, that's how that's helpful.
00:51:05.760 Yeah.
00:51:06.300 Well, I mean, certainly it does help to just say, okay, there's more Republicans that support
00:51:11.100 him or most of the Republicans support him.
00:51:13.440 And that seems to match the polls too, that, you know, almost all mega Republicans support
00:51:17.780 what the president is doing.
00:51:19.320 Um, it seems very divided in terms of that.
00:51:21.740 I think there is this minority that's very vocal on the right that, you know, says, Hey,
00:51:26.060 we don't like what he's doing or, you know, Tucker Carlson and other people have been coming
00:51:29.880 out against it.
00:51:30.580 But I think to me, that's this fringe that the vast majority of people are behind what Trump
00:51:35.900 is doing.
00:51:36.280 Yeah.
00:51:38.460 Okay.
00:51:39.200 All right.
00:51:39.460 I'm laughing at some of these comments.
00:51:41.500 You guys are so fricking funny.
00:51:43.420 All right.
00:51:43.820 This is the time where I'm going to say, could you guys please give us a thumbs up, make comments
00:51:48.780 on X, ring the bell, you know, give us a like, it would really mean a lot to us.
00:51:53.920 There's one person on YouTube.
00:51:55.220 You go ahead and give your thumbs down.
00:51:58.100 You are committed to it.
00:52:00.240 Uh, no, no, he really, no, he really should.
00:52:03.560 Um, he really should.
00:52:05.920 But, um, can I just, all right, wait.
00:52:09.040 Okay.
00:52:09.420 We're good.
00:52:09.840 We're good.
00:52:10.120 Okay.
00:52:10.420 So thanks.
00:52:11.580 Okay.
00:52:11.800 Next story.
00:52:12.460 And I want to just, if you could just save me two minutes at the end, I would appreciate
00:52:15.540 it.
00:52:16.140 Well, I just want to bash on Gavin Newsom for a while.
00:52:18.600 Oh, let's go.
00:52:19.780 Let's go.
00:52:20.800 One is that Chevron sent a letter warning that this cap and trade policy that Newsom is
00:52:25.820 passing or wanting to pass is, uh, going to cripple the industry in California.
00:52:30.960 That says the proposed regulation would cripple the survivability of the state's remaining
00:52:35.640 refineries, which result in California, losing the entire industry to this misguided program.
00:52:40.220 It will increase transportation and aviation fuel prices for consumers.
00:52:43.900 It will risk significant job losses, including many high paying union jobs while reducing funding
00:52:48.880 for essential public services.
00:52:50.540 Um, there's 530,000 jobs and 600, 64 billion in taxes that come from this.
00:52:57.180 Um, and they're claiming it would add, you know, 24 cents a gallon to the gas prices.
00:53:03.600 And even right now, the gas prices are, I think, $4 and 73 cents in California versus the national
00:53:09.320 average of $3 and 19 cents.
00:53:11.340 So it's going to make it worse.
00:53:14.100 Um, at the same time we have, um, there's this LAX train that they were building between
00:53:20.780 the airport and the downtown area.
00:53:22.720 And that was supposed to help with the world cup transportation.
00:53:27.800 Um, it was supposed to be done in 2023 and it's not done and it's not going to be done.
00:53:34.100 Uh, apparently it's 95% complete and there were some kind of disputes and they never finished
00:53:38.080 it or never resolved them.
00:53:39.080 So it's not going to be ready in time for a world cup.
00:53:41.900 Uh, and it's going to be a disaster when everybody descends on LA.
00:53:46.400 So more incompetence from LA leadership.
00:53:50.500 And I'm going to swoop in and save the day somehow with this.
00:53:53.940 I think I don't know if there's time.
00:53:55.980 I mean, I don't know if there's time to finish it at this point.
00:53:59.200 I think it was supposed to be done, you know, a long time ago.
00:54:01.900 Like, um, and it was 95% complete in 2024, but I don't know if there's enough time to
00:54:07.080 finish it.
00:54:07.400 I suppose Trump with his building expertise could propose something, but I'm not sure
00:54:11.060 how he would make it happen.
00:54:12.420 Yeah.
00:54:12.880 Gavin is starting to become, uh, oh, I'm sorry.
00:54:15.280 Gavin is starting to become the worst candidate ever, right?
00:54:18.580 Uh, to run for office.
00:54:20.660 I mean, like he wants to beat Biden at this.
00:54:23.900 It looks like it's doing well.
00:54:26.120 Apparently he went on Jimmy Kimmel recently and he agreed that California is over-regulated
00:54:30.820 and that it's his fault.
00:54:32.980 So he, he made a statement like, um, that it's, we need a liberalism that builds and we
00:54:40.920 have to own that.
00:54:41.780 And I'm very much a part of this sort of new nomenclature.
00:54:44.400 We call this abundance agenda and we got to reconcile that.
00:54:48.120 We've got to be more focused on time to delivery, not just rhetoric, not just what we're for.
00:54:52.220 We've got to actually deliver and manifest it.
00:54:54.380 And, you know, he's certainly been part of this.
00:54:57.160 He signed 784 new laws last year.
00:55:00.480 Um, the homeless crisis is, you know, the worst in the United States, um, regulations
00:55:07.040 all over the place.
00:55:07.860 So I'm sure to some extent he's probably behind the problems that are happening in LA and
00:55:12.400 everywhere else in the, in the, in the state.
00:55:14.280 So, um, yeah, Gavin is a terrible candidate and I think he has a record to match.
00:55:19.500 Yeah.
00:55:20.240 He's, he's, he's amazingly, he's like number one at being the worst.
00:55:24.380 Worst for sure.
00:55:25.440 So, and then on a positive note, uh, the Trump administration has brokered a multimillion
00:55:30.700 dollar gold agreement for the golden age, according to Axios between the U S and Venezuela,
00:55:36.620 uh, the Minerv, Minervan, uh, company, uh, the mining company will sell between 650 to
00:55:45.520 a thousand kilograms of high purity gold door bars, uh, valued at more than $150 million to
00:55:52.680 the global commodities, um, trader tra figura say that fast.
00:55:58.620 The goal will the gold, which reaches 98% purity after refining will be shipped directly to
00:56:04.900 the refineries in the United States.
00:56:07.620 So, um, interior secretary, Doug Burgum helped finalize the deal recently in his recent visit
00:56:15.300 to Caracas and, uh, you know, the golden age needs gold.
00:56:19.780 That's right.
00:56:20.460 Um, you know, bringing in the, um, you know, and a lot of people would be like, oh, the only
00:56:25.940 reason Trump is there is to enrich himself, you know, in, um, um, you know, he's not, he's
00:56:32.960 enriching the United States.
00:56:34.540 So this is very big difference.
00:56:36.260 Um, but of course there's always two movies on one screen and the other side will always
00:56:42.420 say the opposite.
00:56:43.160 That's right.
00:56:43.880 The optics are beautiful with, uh, the lady, the president of Venezuela next to Burgum and
00:56:51.800 everybody.
00:56:52.280 It's always that unity, uh, that is, shows what can be done for the future of other countries
00:56:57.760 if they work with us too.
00:56:59.680 I love that.
00:57:00.000 That's right.
00:57:00.560 Yeah.
00:57:01.700 Erica, can I say one thing just to quickly be, I'm going to give you the two minutes.
00:57:04.940 Um, uh, by the way, so before, when I said about the guy in the uniform, I don't promote
00:57:09.940 that.
00:57:10.580 Oh, I know.
00:57:11.040 That's a good idea.
00:57:11.860 Okay, you know, to make sure that, uh, because I saw a couple of comments there.
00:57:16.040 So it's horrible.
00:57:17.240 It's like burning the flag.
00:57:18.880 Um, that's what they're doing.
00:57:20.460 Basically they're using that as a way to get attention. 0.51
00:57:23.220 It's horrible, but, uh, um, you know, that's what they're doing.
00:57:26.660 Even negative attention's attention, right?
00:57:29.000 So yeah, it is attention seeking and he got his attention and we're never talking about
00:57:33.960 him again.
00:57:34.620 We're talking about him again.
00:57:36.280 I didn't never again.
00:57:37.400 So I just also wanted to mention, um, that Luke, you know, I'm going to give you a
00:57:41.840 story.
00:57:42.340 I mean, Lou Holtz has died.
00:57:43.180 Okay.
00:57:43.680 And, uh, he died at the age of 89 and he's a legendary football coach, um, for Notre Dame.
00:57:52.100 Right.
00:57:52.480 So there's something that Lou Lou, cause we're, you know, we're buddies like that.
00:57:57.180 So Lou had all of his players memorize this and I love this.
00:58:01.820 And I think it's so important.
00:58:03.760 Um, so he'd have his players memorize.
00:58:06.500 This poem is called what will today bring.
00:58:09.460 And I just think it's so appropriate.
00:58:12.900 It says, this is the beginning of a new day.
00:58:16.100 God has given me this day to use as I will.
00:58:19.140 I can waste it or use it for good.
00:58:21.760 What I do today is important because I'm exchanging a day of my life for it.
00:58:26.520 When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place.
00:58:31.800 Something I have traded for it.
00:58:34.100 I want it to be gain, not loss, good, not evil, success, not failure in order that I
00:58:40.980 shall not regret the price I paid for it because the future is just a whole string of nows.
00:58:47.260 And I love that you guys.
00:58:49.380 And it's just like how Scott would say, like, be useful.
00:58:52.160 Like every day he woke up to be useful.
00:58:54.980 And, um, you know, we are, we're trading a day of our life for whatever it is we're going
00:59:00.760 to do today.
00:59:01.300 And, and the days that I'm like not being productive or I'm cranky or whatever, I'm
00:59:06.700 like, Oh, what a waste.
00:59:07.980 Like I get mad at myself.
00:59:09.220 Like what a waste of this day, uh, you know, shake it off.
00:59:12.700 And so, um, I just thought it was right on line with, uh, Scott's philosophy and, you
00:59:19.040 know, what, what we, all of us, everybody that watches this show, you're all useful people.
00:59:24.260 Like you can't be here and be, you know, in love with Scott Adams and everything he taught
00:59:30.840 us without in your heart being more useful.
00:59:34.240 I feel like than the next person.
00:59:35.940 So shout out to all of you guys.
00:59:38.280 Um, we, you know, it's just been a newsy week.
00:59:41.240 So the news crew is coming back tomorrow.
00:59:43.860 Um, we're going to finish the week up strong.
00:59:47.400 And, um, in the meantime, you guys, uh, thank you so much for showing up for us each day.

01:00:12.100 Um, Scott, we miss you so much.
01:00:15.360 And I know everybody, when this, when the simultaneous sip starts in the morning and
01:00:19.340 we see his face on the screen, it's like a thousand times like stronger and beaming.
01:00:27.100 And we all feel it too.
01:00:28.480 I promise.
01:00:29.800 Um, so anyway, I don't know, just to say that we miss you, Scott.
01:00:33.500 So closing a sip to Scott and to all of you, let's go be useful today to Scott.
