00:01:12.460 good morning everybody it's a monday we are rolling into a new week it is march 23rd

00:01:22.140 2026 we are fully in spring i'm taking allergy pills every day already it's amazing

00:01:30.300 how does the world know it just keeps happening oh the tv the tv version of us is not here today

00:01:39.100 but maybe one day maybe we'll morph come on in everybody when you come in we're gonna uh

00:01:46.060 If you guys have your reframe books, just to get ready, we are going to do page 81.

00:01:54.680 And I think it's always useful to have a little reframe action going.

00:01:59.840 Okay.

00:02:00.120 I see people coming in now.

00:02:02.020 Welcome.

00:02:02.980 Good morning.

00:02:04.940 We have a special sip today, I see.

00:02:07.040 I haven't watched it yet, but I can tell it's from out of this world.

00:02:12.340 All right.

00:02:12.880 Do you think we have enough time?

00:02:13.940 Do you think everyone's in?

00:02:15.560 I think so.

00:02:16.900 Okay, let's do this.

00:02:19.540 Ready?

00:02:21.160 Grab a vessel.

00:02:22.800 Got to do a little tweaking.

00:02:24.680 Some of the programming has some issues.

00:02:27.320 So this reality that you're experiencing, the one that you think is real, it's a simulation.

00:02:34.700 I'm actually in the control room that controls the simulation for reality.

00:02:38.900 I had to tweak a few things.

00:02:40.340 I'll be talking about that.

00:02:42.060 But not until, not until the simultaneous sip.

00:02:48.260 What do you need for the simultaneous sip?

00:02:50.180 Well, you don't need to be in the control room for the simulation yourself.

00:02:54.080 You can just be where you are.

00:02:56.100 All you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tank or chalice or stein,

00:03:00.580 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind to fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:03:06.160 I like coffee.

00:03:07.140 you might be wondering how my coffee stays in my cup as zero g's but it does now join me now for

00:03:17.040 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better

00:03:20.280 simultaneous sip

00:03:22.180 ah space version oh that was good i did wonder how his coffee stayed in his mug

00:03:34.080 only scott only scott i forgot about those olden days when he used backgrounds and stuff that was

00:03:39.680 cool the green screen it was so fun good morning everybody my name is erica welcome to the scott

00:03:47.200 adams school like i said we're rolling into a fresh new week here on march 23rd i thought we

00:03:53.320 are so i'll give you a little bit of housekeeping first we have some guests lined up for you this

00:03:58.440 week not only here but also on locals so today you have the home team and friday i think it's

00:04:06.360 going to be us the home team yay and then tomorrow we're going to introduce you to someone new

00:04:12.840 and uh his name is how how does he show up oh and again on twitter i think it's

00:04:19.480 take naps take naps all one word of course but yeah take naps okay his name is bobby sauce

00:04:25.960 and I asked him to join us.

00:04:29.040 He has some hot takes on things

00:04:31.600 and he's passionate about things

00:04:33.760 and maybe he doesn't think the same way a lot of us do

00:04:37.120 or some of you do or some of you don't.

00:04:39.200 So it'll just be interesting to hear from a different voice.

00:04:42.320 So he'll be on tomorrow, should be exciting.

00:04:45.220 And then tomorrow night on Locals,

00:04:47.880 an OG of Scots forever, Jeff Pilkington,

00:04:52.500 will be on with me tomorrow night on Locals.

00:04:55.960 And he's amazing with AI. He's doing all sorts of fascinating things. But most importantly is

00:05:02.620 he is a massive beloved and I have never got to see him in person. We've communicated over the

00:05:08.940 years. I don't know if he's still a Democrat and I'm curious to know, but we were always like on

00:05:15.100 the opposite side of the political spectrum on things, but we were always respectful. We always

00:05:21.180 got along. We agreed to disagree. And I just genuinely appreciate him. And I was like,

00:05:27.240 it's time for you to come talk to all of us. So he'll be with us. And then Wednesday, BJ Ditchter

00:05:33.160 returns, and he's going to join us here in the morning. We're going to talk about all the

00:05:38.020 Canadian things you guys wanted him to talk about before we left the other day. So that'll be great

00:05:43.720 for him to return to do that. And we'll also talk about current events and news. And then Thursday,

00:05:48.900 steve cortez comes to join us again so we're really excited to hear his take on things and

00:05:56.080 what he's working on now he is a very busy guy um and thursday night jimmy from scott adams meetups

00:06:04.780 will be on locals with us to talk about the meetups and show us his new website and that's

00:06:10.340 going to be a lot of fun so busy week it's a busy week here and on local so i hope you join us um

00:06:17.580 on both. And we're going to try to do the local shows at 8 PM Eastern time. So if you want to

00:06:23.680 mark your calendar, that's, that's the time we're shooting for. Okay. And again, it's a relaxed

00:06:29.680 atmosphere. Bring whatever you want, wear whatever you want. I don't care if you're having dinner.

00:06:35.160 I might be chewing bubble gum. You never know. It's a casual hangout. Okay. That was a lot.

00:06:42.460 So listen, you guys, I thought we would do a reframe. And I think the next few reframes that

00:06:48.140 we're going to do are like in these continuous pages, but I wanted to just start with this one

00:06:53.540 and then I'm going to turn it over to Owen. Um, we'll discuss it and turn it over to Owen after,

00:06:58.100 but this one is on page 81 of the paperback and it's titled who controls your feelings.

00:07:05.680 Most of us grow up believing our feelings are the product of whatever is happening to us.

00:07:10.340 it sure seems that way when you can control your schedule where you go and who you are with you

00:07:15.780 generally feel happy when you have no control over those environmental variables you are less likely

00:07:21.380 to feel happy therefore logically your environment and your situation are controlling how you feel

00:07:28.180 by that view you are nothing but a victim of a random and often cruel universe that's no way to

00:07:34.260 to go through life. I recommend flipping that worldview using this admittedly weird reframe.

00:07:40.820 The usual reframe is my feelings are the result of my situation. The reframe, how I feel is my

00:07:48.420 choice. The first time I heard this reframe, it hit me as both ridiculous and powerful.

00:07:53.700 I've since used it often to clear my mind of junk feelings. I simply told myself I could choose not 0.58

00:07:58.980 to be bothered and it worked, or at least it took off the edge. I would love to tell you that the

00:08:04.060 logical reason this reframe works, but I don't think there is one. Maybe it works because the

00:08:09.760 sensation of taking control is generally good for most people. Maybe it works because it gives you

00:08:14.820 permission to feel good. Perhaps it works by triggering you into cognitive dissonance, or

00:08:19.920 maybe it's just yanks you out of a mental prison you put yourself in and returns you to the present.

00:08:25.560 I don't know. All I know is that it has given me comfort. Maybe it can work for you too. Don't be

00:08:31.320 surprised if a reframe works one day and then never again, or that reframe that didn't work

00:08:36.960 for you before starts feeling profound. Try several reframes on the same topic and see what

00:08:42.860 works that day. Reframes are quick and cheap. And if you know immediately, if they, and you'll know

00:08:47.900 immediately if they have an impact, you can feel it. If you don't feel it, try another. Um, this

00:08:54.380 is going to come as a crazy shock to you guys, but one person who helped me with a reframe like this

00:09:01.320 was ready joy behar from the view what right how you wouldn't see that coming but back in the day

00:09:10.440 before i knew that they were like mentally insane people um and we would like watch that show kind

00:09:16.120 of regular um i just always remember she would always say like something would happen she'd say

00:09:22.040 so what who cares and i adopted that and so to me that's like the reframe right there so

00:09:29.560 when something's happening or someone's hyped up about something or whatever my brain immediately 0.99

00:09:35.480 goes to so what who cares because when you just make it that stupid it kind of just takes the 0.99

00:09:42.040 sting away it takes the edge off like scott said so um i love how you can just tell yourself 0.99

00:09:49.720 something different because like i always say it's so easy to wallow in something and be negative

00:09:54.680 and it's harder to get out of it but try like a couple of phrases like that like so what who

00:10:01.000 cares or what scott suggested just to be like oh let me just deflate this but you know marcella do 0.99

00:10:06.920 you have anything you know something's bothering you that you can talk yourself off the ledge and

00:10:12.840 and not feel hurt by something well i mean this this reframe is really helpful because it tells

00:10:21.240 you that you control your emotions the emotions don't control you um and it's good that to do

00:10:28.600 that because the world's gonna do a lot of things to you um but you can control how you react to it

00:10:36.840 but i mean my my number one to go reframe is always jocko where he says good with everything

00:10:44.120 that happens um you always say good oh you have more work good love that you're gonna do that

00:10:51.560 good and i know that's very simplistic but it works for me what's his um what's his reasoning

00:10:58.220 behind it like what does he say about that his reasoning is just um that he ended up figuring

00:11:06.400 out that that was the best course of action to take uh when it comes to negative news or any news

00:11:13.880 So one of the things he talks about is not reacting happy or sad about certain situations, just level-headed.

00:11:23.880 It works during war, which he's a, Jocko is a, if there's anybody out there that doesn't know who Jocko is, I'm a big fan, as you guys may know.

00:11:35.580 Um, he's a former Navy SEAL and, uh, he went to Iraq and Afghanistan. Um, I think Iraq mainly,

00:11:44.080 and, um, he had to keep his cool, um, even during chaos and chaotic times. Um, and I think that's a

00:11:54.400 good motto. Other, other people that are always in danger, keep that motto of level headedness,

00:12:03.260 not don't get too happy about things don't get too sad about things just keep your level and so good

00:12:09.500 became that chant for him good is also an opportunity right like oh good an opportunity

00:12:15.500 i think it comes out of he wrote a jacob wrote a book called extreme ownership and i think that's

00:12:21.980 very closely related to the good attitude of saying good even when you know things bad happen

00:12:27.340 to you um because if you take this mindset of extreme ownership that he recommends it's like

00:12:33.980 no matter what happens you're in charge you're taking control of the situation you're embracing

00:12:39.580 whatever happens so that you can improve the outcome and so i think it's that extreme ownership

00:12:45.900 where it's like i'm not going to let other people dictate the circumstances or determine what

00:12:51.180 happens i'm going to be an active participant and take control of things and and make things better

00:12:56.380 so that's the way i see jocko i love that jocko is amazing you guys should check him out if you

00:13:02.780 don't already know him yeah what do you do owen what's your go-to um probably a few different

00:13:09.020 things i i think the one that i find most helpful is probably the eckhart tolle idea of like being

00:13:15.020 in the now or being in the present because a lot of times when you are thinking about some negative

00:13:20.860 thing it's something in the past or it's something maybe in the future that may or may not actually

00:13:25.660 happen and if you bring yourself back to the present you can usually just look around yourself

00:13:30.360 and say okay am i all right like do i really have any problem that's immediate that i have to deal

00:13:36.840 with right this second or am i okay and a lot of times you'll just that that thought process will

00:13:42.440 calm you down and kind of get you back to reality in terms of okay this isn't you know an insurmountable

00:13:49.440 problem or it's not even necessarily going to be real. And so I think that to me is probably

00:13:55.520 the most helpful. But I think a lot of it is maybe you can, Scott used to talk about crowding

00:14:03.900 out the negative thoughts with positive ones because it's a psychological sort of trick that

00:14:08.460 you can't really hold both in your head at the same time. And if you do focus on the negative,

00:14:13.960 it just makes it worse. And so if you can think of something positive and maybe gratitude

00:14:18.580 or even just whatever you find that would make you happy,

00:14:22.440 which I think Scott talked about too.

00:14:23.940 Just think about some positive time in your life

00:14:26.580 or think about something good in your life

00:14:28.980 that will crowd out the bad thoughts

00:14:32.560 and there just isn't any room for them anymore.

00:14:36.240 And I like his other reframe of just get out

00:14:38.440 or you can just kind of like do that.

00:14:40.400 I use something similar for earworms

00:14:44.480 when there's a song stuck in my head.

00:14:45.980 there's another song that I use that don't tell me which one is it um it's shout though it's that

00:14:55.620 song that goes shout shout get it all out yeah tears for fears yeah so you get rid of another

00:15:01.480 song yeah so for some reason that one even though it is kind of an earworm I guess doesn't stick in

00:15:06.780 my head so if I just like sing that to myself then the other song's gone and then I don't have to

00:15:11.880 have anything going through my head anymore. You know what song does it for me to get rid

00:15:16.720 of a song, but then this song is so much worse. I'm sorry. I'm going to do this to you guys.

00:15:21.360 It's the 1-800-CARS-4-KIDS song. Oh my God. Those jingles are nasty.

00:15:29.300 Oh my God. It's the worst ever. You guys are posting some great,

00:15:34.000 great reframes of your own for how you deal with things. And I love, I just love, oh,

00:15:42.060 and you know what? What did I call him the other day? Anthony Robbins. You guys laughed at me,

00:15:46.560 Tony Robbins. You know what works for me also, you guys? Just so if you want to just try this

00:15:52.280 over the week, I swear this works. So let's say something's bringing you down and it's like what

00:15:57.740 we're talking about, like you're heard about something or whatever, hand to God, do 10

00:16:03.380 jumping jacks. Literally stand up from wherever you are, do 10 jumping jacks. Everything changes.

00:16:11.920 It's the most crazy thing. And I want to know if anyone does it. Everyone laughs at me and I'm

00:16:16.760 like, I've made people. I'm like, no, get up right now and do it. They're like, holy cow. It just

00:16:20.740 changes everything. All right. So that's the end of my spiel on that stuff. Everybody gets injured.

00:16:24.980 everyone right now you guys assume your own risk yes assume your own risk our attorney's here to

00:16:33.720 protect us all right so you guys try those things let us know um and also after the show when we

00:16:39.560 repost this uh show on x i'll repost it tell us what your favorite sayings are you know like how

00:16:47.420 scott gave us one joy behar of all people gave me one she should actually use it for herself now

00:16:53.480 um but let us yeah oh see good book is just gonna try it i love that gracie you go girl

00:16:59.480 all right you guys so let's switch gears and get into some current events uh current events and

00:17:05.900 news and owen and marcella are going to alternate stories we're going to start with owen this

00:17:10.280 morning let's go so there's a article in tech explorer about a some research that yale did

00:17:18.220 about AI saying that tools like ChatGBT

00:17:23.020 make learning easier and more persuasive.

00:17:24.840 And so the person, Daniel Carell,

00:17:29.240 was one of the researchers.

00:17:30.160 He says people recalled facts better

00:17:31.600 after reading the AI version

00:17:32.920 than the version written by experts.

00:17:35.140 Imagine that.

00:17:36.560 We can imagine the large language model

00:17:39.060 starting with something like a Wikipedia article

00:17:41.140 and transforming it,

00:17:42.220 making the text smoother, more engaging,

00:17:43.980 and easier to retain.

00:17:44.900 um ai tools like chat gbt are becoming common ways to learn about history and other topics

00:17:50.420 this study shows that ai written content can actually help people learn better even if the

00:17:54.800 writing is clear and easy to understand yet it also suggests that relying on ai to learn about

00:17:58.640 things like history may end up influencing how we think about the world because they also found

00:18:02.800 that number one ai is slanted liberal and it leads to more liberal opinions so that's a problem

00:18:10.900 um it did say that if if it did take a conservative slant it would also shift your

00:18:15.180 opinions right so you know it probably will have more of that bifurcation effect of skewing people

00:18:22.120 to one side or the other but unfortunately it looks like most of the ais are kind of skewed

00:18:25.900 liberal so hopefully grok can at least be a shining beacon of light without that and even

00:18:33.200 when you ask your ai to i mean i find that if i can answer like let's say from chat gpt and i'm

00:18:40.440 like i know better that that's so skewed and i feel like if i say please i don't want any bias

00:18:48.340 you know for a political direction give it to me straight down the middle then i feel like i do get

00:18:53.420 just more of the facts but you have to yeah and you can you can configure those things like if

00:18:59.640 you have an account with one of these places there's a place where you can give it like global

00:19:03.900 instructions that says this is how you should behave or this is how i want you to be different

00:19:07.840 than just the default. And you can put in, you know, you are a conservative or you are a MAGA

00:19:12.740 person or you're, you know, right leaning, or, or you can say you're totally neutral, not biased

00:19:19.320 in either way. And just see how it changes the responses. It's an interesting experiment just

00:19:24.360 to see, cause it's kind of like, you know, basically correcting its own bias, which means

00:19:29.000 it can kind of see its own bias. I know it's not actually thinking, but it does adjust, you know,

00:19:34.340 because it is probably just because it's trained to please you and it's trained to give you whatever

00:19:38.560 you ask for. And so unless they put some kind of guardrail on that forces it to be liberal,

00:19:43.780 like I think Google did for a while with that diverse image generator, except for that,

00:19:53.040 most of the time it'll cooperate and it'll do what you ask you to do. I caught something like

00:19:57.560 that in my AI that I use with my news curation system because I have it basically look through

00:20:04.160 all the stories that are coming through my feeds and rank them right and so it's it'll summarize

00:20:10.320 them it'll you know do things that'll say okay you know what are the best stories you might want

00:20:15.800 to think about posting and I caught one of them when I saw some of the output and it's like wait

00:20:20.220 a second this this is like some crazy liberal because it's like criticizing stuff that I don't

00:20:26.480 think you should be criticizing at all and I'm like what the hell's going on so I had to adjust

00:20:30.340 the prompts and say, don't do that. I think what it was doing was it was actually kind of like

00:20:34.180 Apple News where it was, it was criticizing one of the sources that I use all the time.

00:20:39.560 And it was like, oh, this is a crazy right leaning site. And I'm like, don't do that. Just,

00:20:45.100 you know, this is a good source. Don't, don't do that.

00:20:48.480 Yeah. It's pretty funny how it does that. So if you ever wanted to control or boss something

00:20:53.140 around, get involved with AI. And somebody asked before, you know, can chat GPT be trusted?

00:20:59.120 nothing can be trusted you guys so just remember that so get a few answers to everything and then

00:21:05.080 still make up your own mind is my advice in my in my opinion the way i would respond to that is

00:21:10.800 it's like asking if the internet can be trusted right because that's what ai is summarizing

00:21:17.140 essentially is the opinion of the internet and one of the primary sources is reddit so ask yourself

00:21:23.240 do you trust reddit which if you do you're crazy trust nothing i love that all right marcella take

00:21:32.220 us to another place things are feeling a little less human these days aren't they but isn't the

00:21:37.900 whole point of progress to make things more human that's why at td when we design a product whether

00:21:44.160 it's an app for making trading easier or monitoring your account for fraud we ask one simple question

00:21:50.080 How does this help people? That's how we're making banking more simple, more seamless and more intuitive.

00:21:58.320 But most importantly, that's how TD is making banking more human.

00:22:02.320 are we human meanwhile zero hedge um on another news story um alex representative alexandra

00:22:11.760 ocasio cortez aoc better known as uh used her 2025 campaign funds to fund spend $19,000 on

00:22:23.620 dr brian boyle who is a psychiatrist specializing in ketamine based therapies for depression and

00:22:30.220 PTSD labeled, um, the, you know, they, they publish this, uh, campaign spending, um, not

00:22:38.640 published, but it's, it's public so we could look at it. So it was the, the cost, the $19,000

00:22:45.020 cost was labeled as leadership training and consulting, um, in FEC filings. Erica felt

00:22:52.520 very strongly about that. And she left, I'm sure she's fine. Um, the, the ketamine therapy

00:22:59.560 the ketamine therapy, um, brings, uh, you know, it is what it is. Uh, we're not very surprised

00:23:08.480 by AOC using it. Um, however, she might be in some hot water. There's ethical questions under

00:23:15.440 FEC rules, allowing consulting broadly, whether this would apply. There's no, um, indication

00:23:23.880 that she is in trouble or anything like that but it does kind of lead to how far you can take

00:23:30.800 and use your campaign funds yeah you can't do that i mean i don't know anything wait a minute

00:23:37.440 no i mean you can't yeah but it says that all the time i mean there's so many instances

00:23:44.460 under consulting right yeah wait she can do it owen well what i'm saying is there's a lot of

00:23:54.060 abuses to these campaigns yes i mean these are like piggy banks for a lot of these politicians

00:23:59.100 and there's all kinds of stories i've seen over the years of people saying well did you know is

00:24:03.900 this is kind of questionable like can you use it for this luxury vacation or this trip with this

00:24:08.540 this fancy hotel and you know are you allowed to use it for whatever and I mean but there's

00:24:14.200 lots and lots of examples of things where I think AOC is probably one of the worst offenders

00:24:18.400 where I remember she got in trouble because she used it for that Met Gala and the dress that she 0.90

00:24:24.120 used and it's like what does that have to do with politics or campaigning you know you can't just

00:24:28.580 say oh I'm just going to do this and I think wasn't didn't the Clintons get in trouble for

00:24:33.560 this for like using money for their daughter's wedding or something oh I don't remember maybe

00:24:38.520 the chat remembers might have been from their foundation but um you know but you know the problem

00:24:45.020 is again scott would say there's corruption wherever there's lots of money and there's not

00:24:48.840 anybody watching and that's what this is it's like you get all this fundraising have this like

00:24:54.840 million dollar piggy bank and of course you're going to have so much temptation to use it because

00:24:59.140 nobody's going to stop you you know there's nobody that doesn't allow you to do that spending

00:25:03.620 it you might get in trouble before it afterwards and have to pay a fine or you might have to pay

00:25:08.160 back if you get caught but chances are you probably won't because most of the politicians

00:25:13.360 look out for each other and they don't police each other there's no like real audits necessarily and

00:25:18.400 i mean there is some disclosure rules but not everybody always looks really closely at it and

00:25:23.760 even when it does happen like this you know marcella you just said it doesn't look like

00:25:28.160 aoc's in trouble like i mean it's not very strict it's not really enforced didn't um didn't trump

00:25:36.160 get like a felony charge for this over the stormy daniels payment that went through yes yeah did

00:25:41.920 which is you know that that to me is part of the outrage with what happened to trump because

00:25:46.480 it's this selective enforcement right like the people break this rule all the time

00:25:51.520 and i'm not defending it that people break the rule but they're very inconsistent with who they

00:25:58.000 apply it to how much they enforce it what the penalty is it's usually just a slap on the wrist

00:26:03.360 where they just have to pay a little fine, which might also come out of the campaign

00:26:06.480 funds for all I know. And there's no real consequences for it. And the other thing

00:26:11.120 that's outrageous about Trump's is that there was literally the way they presented it in court,

00:26:17.120 there was literally no way for him to follow the law. If he classified it as a campaign expense,

00:26:27.360 or if he didn't classify it as a campaign expense, the way they presented the argument,

00:26:31.600 both of them were illegal like the because you know that they're there i i remember thinking

00:26:38.880 this when i was reading these stories i'm like okay they basically are saying no matter what he

00:26:42.400 did it's the wrong answer and it's illegal yeah you know there's always two sets of rules we've

00:26:47.920 all seen that it's a shame that's why i'm just like oh it's aoc nothing nothing happens ever

00:26:53.920 i really do want to see things happen scott was more gracious about this stuff than i was like

00:26:58.640 like, he would always be like, well, should they get? And I'm like, yeah, he's screaming. I can't

00:27:02.980 stand it. And he's like, well, and I was like, oh, you're too kind. I can't take it. But I mean,

00:27:09.320 I would just like to see anyone, someone, because there are so many brutal things happening on the

00:27:16.100 other side that I never see anyone get in trouble for. When you think about people like Navarro and

00:27:21.560 all these people that had to go to jail and you're like, are you kidding me? But that's another story

00:27:26.500 for another day. All right. So who's up next? Do you, Owen?

00:27:31.120 I think I'm up next. So Elon Musk is changing the world again. He's building this TeraFab,

00:27:37.280 which is like a chip factory. And he's saying that he wants to build 50 times more chips than

00:27:44.860 the world currently produces using some kind of new physics. And right now, apparently the world

00:27:51.220 output is 20 gigawatts he he wants he's saying he wants to buy all of new nvidia samsung and

00:27:56.860 micron capacity he's using some kind of new recursive process for wrapper production and

00:28:01.580 redesigns um and he he mentioned some kind of very interesting new physics that he's confident in

00:28:07.240 um he's going to build two chips apparently one is for earth inferencing and robots and that's

00:28:13.820 you know billions per year that he wants to make of that one and then he wants to make one for

00:28:18.480 space satellites which is um 100 kilowatts to get to megawatt scale and and so um he's going

00:28:26.140 to be upgrading the starship for 200 ton payloads uh he needs 50 000 launches yearly for that terawatt

00:28:32.220 in orbit you just imagine 50 000 launches i can't per year um and the goal is basically this

00:28:41.140 multi-planetary future like star trek so it's just a completely different world that he's creating

00:28:45.360 um and uh you know it's getting to the point where like we might run out of helium because

00:28:52.060 we just don't have enough um but apparently he has this pedawatt goal when he wants to even

00:28:58.080 create a moon mass driver which a mass driver i think is some kind of launch pad where like you

00:29:02.400 would fire rockets off of the moon where it's lower gravity so there's a lot less cost because

00:29:07.820 you don't have to overcome earth gravity all right here's a basic b question what if something

00:29:13.720 happens to Elon it's a good question I mean a lot of his companies are public

00:29:19.900 SpaceX is public and Tesla and so you know most of what he has created in

00:29:27.880 theory would continue but I would certainly question like what is it

00:29:31.060 gonna be without Elon at one hand you have to say yeah exactly I was gonna

00:29:36.400 compare it to Apple that's right it's like you know it's not necessarily gonna

00:29:40.540 be the same the innovation might not be there and it might just sort of stagnate um but i would

00:29:46.740 wonder like you know is anybody really going to have the ambition to take the helm to say i'm

00:29:51.840 going to do this vision that musk has maybe little baby x yeah maybe i mean baron's getting older

00:30:00.440 maybe baron trump could step in baron okay oh my god oh i'm just i'm i'm extremely happy about

00:30:10.240 tarot fab um i mean this is this is what i dreamed of uh one terawatt of a computing um he's gonna

00:30:19.200 do so much and you know maybe i'll visit mars or the moon the moon i think oh my god i heard such

00:30:29.040 a podcast yesterday you guys i'm gonna link it later but oh i think owen you might have been

00:30:36.240 talking about this the other day about the moon did you say something about structures on the moon

00:30:41.400 yeah on the dark side okay there was a story i read that about so a little more detail there

00:30:47.120 was a story from some kind of guy that was involved with the government as like a contractor

00:30:51.400 or something and they're like they brought me into this room and they asked me to look at these

00:30:54.560 pictures and i start looking at these pictures and they look like buildings they look like

00:30:59.720 skyscrapers they look like structures and they're and i'm like wondering what this is and they're

00:31:03.940 saying yeah this these are pictures from the dark side of the moon okay and he's like they this he's

00:31:09.360 like this wasn't ambiguous like it might be a rock like the no these were like big huge structures

00:31:14.780 like a city on the moon and he's like what you know why doesn't anybody know about this they're

00:31:19.420 like well this is all classified you can't talk about it and he seemed he seemed very credible

00:31:24.740 so i don't know i mean you know you never know whether or not he was a plant but

00:31:28.680 below is where i saw it that's exactly right um still it was the why files episode holy cow i

00:31:37.760 listened to it yesterday if you guys are pressed for time listen to it like on 1.5 speed it's

00:31:43.580 totally perfect that way um but oh my god you want to talk about a conspiracy theory and don't worry

00:31:50.240 my wheels are already turning like what guests do i want to have on like can we talk about this

00:31:55.800 there's like not enough time in the day but i don't care what have anna paulina luna on she

00:32:02.280 just talked about this in a way she she's like everybody that goes into the skiff and looks at

00:32:06.040 the ufo files come out comes out saying holy s-h-i-t yeah well i was like holy s-h-i-t yesterday

00:32:13.660 listening to this it was supposed to be not supposed to be but i thought this was going to

00:32:18.040 about UFOs. And oh my God, this thing took a left turn to a road I did not see coming. And I was

00:32:25.900 like, what? Did anyone else watch this? I was shooketh, but I'll post a link to it after the

00:32:32.080 show. And yes, we have to have somebody come on about this. It was fascinating. Is it true? I

00:32:38.720 don't know. I mean, it's just me talking again, but anyway. All right. Interesting.

00:32:44.360 um going in that topic of left field or or sci-fi elon musk also came out with this vision of 10

00:32:53.160 billion humanoid robots by 2040 um so you'll have a robot behind you or three of them behind you

00:33:00.440 erica into an annual global production of one to 10 billion units 10 to 100 times the car volume

00:33:10.120 that we have currently framing tesla's optimist as an exponential revenue driver is what he called

00:33:16.840 it an infinite money glitch he talked about the fond newman probe um as most of you in the chat

00:33:24.840 know the fond newman probe um i'm sure you guys all know is a theoretical concept from

00:33:32.200 mathematician and physicist john von newman that says the core idea is to have a machine that

00:33:40.280 travels to a new location use local raw materials and fully replicates itself then sends those

00:33:46.760 copies and words to new locations and that's what he envisions that's what elon envisions for

00:33:53.240 optimus um and what could possibly go wrong with that idea yeah he wants to send optimus robots

00:34:00.200 um to places like mars or asteroids uh they use local resources to build more optimist robots

00:34:07.320 solar arrays factories habitats and basically exponentially expand humanity through robots

00:34:19.240 what could possibly go wrong nothing i i don't know i mean she is speechless i i

00:34:27.240 I, I, it's again, like, what would we do if something happened to Elon?

00:34:32.060 Like what's going on?

00:34:33.440 I don't know.

00:34:34.360 Robots, the whole thing.

00:34:36.840 Maybe he'll upload his brain into a robot and then it won't be a problem.

00:34:39.760 Oh, that's true.

00:34:40.720 Maybe he has already.

00:34:42.500 Maybe he has.

00:34:43.680 He's got Neuralink too, you know.

00:34:46.440 Oh, I'm posting the link for you guys on Locals and I hope everybody got it.

00:34:51.040 That's the link to that episode.

00:34:53.300 For the Y files.

00:34:54.280 For the Y files.

00:34:56.020 So, so cool.

00:34:56.700 We'll test it on X later.

00:34:58.020 We will.

00:34:59.940 I don't have anything to say about that.

00:35:02.200 That is your wheelhouse.

00:35:05.480 So apparently there's a new technology about AI,

00:35:10.060 this thing to call neuro-symbolic AI

00:35:12.020 that could slash energy use while drastically improving performance.

00:35:16.900 It's some kind of neural network that's combined with symbolic reasoning

00:35:20.520 using 100 times less energy than the standard models

00:35:23.200 while boosting accuracy.

00:35:24.420 it was tested on visual language action models for robots and it had it had a 95 it hit 95 percent

00:35:35.880 so i'm sorry the standard test for this sort of thing fails on tasks like the tower of hanoi i'm

00:35:41.520 not sure exactly what test that is but it's probably some standard test they do for these

00:35:45.140 sorts of things and the standard before this was 34 success and it said with this neurosymbolic it

00:35:51.900 hit 95% on the trained version

00:35:53.760 and 78% on a complex unseen one.

00:35:57.780 It was trained in 34 minutes

00:35:59.880 versus a day and a half,

00:36:01.860 used 1% of the energy for training,

00:36:04.020 5% for execution.

00:36:06.600 So it looks like this could be

00:36:08.000 one of those technologies

00:36:09.160 that would just totally change the game.

00:36:11.820 Oh my God, 34 minutes.

00:36:14.220 We're getting too fast at everything.

00:36:18.420 I mean, and Scott talked about this

00:36:20.680 where it's like, you know,

00:36:21.500 may not be this one there may be some reason why this one won't work but there's a lot of these

00:36:25.740 things happening kind of like with batteries where it's like one of these is probably going to hit

00:36:29.260 and someone like elon musk is going to put it into production really fast and and then all of a sudden

00:36:34.100 everything changes and you know the ai companies might be profitable which seems impossible right

00:36:39.540 now um but it might have some sort of explosion in ai more than we've even seen wow all right and

00:36:47.260 And meanwhile, Iran, your favorite subject, Erica, it is.

00:36:53.000 Um, well, today we woke up to good news.

00:36:56.200 Uh, some would say maybe not so good, but, uh, basically Trump that the

00:37:02.180 persuasion allegedly the persuasion powerhouse that he is, he went on truth

00:37:09.560 and posted that he was pleased to announce that he's going to postpone any

00:37:15.700 all military strikes against Iran's power plants and energy infrastructures for a five-day period,

00:37:21.620 subject to the success of the ongoing talks with Iran. Later on, he clarified, I don't know what

00:37:29.720 news program he went on or how he clarified this, but it is accurate from Fox News and New York

00:37:36.540 Times was posting, was saying it, that he, that the negotiations are in fact true and that it's

00:37:44.320 between Whitcoff and Kushner, and they're negotiating with Iran.

00:37:51.640 And basically it's happening.

00:37:53.960 However, Iran came out and said, no, it's not happening.

00:37:57.960 You know, in those voice, in that voice, no, it's not.

00:38:01.400 And basically they went on Iranian TV, which I'm sure you guys watched.

00:38:06.560 They said, Oh, Trump is afraid of us.

00:38:09.840 He wants to, he heard that we're going to fight back.

00:38:13.720 So he backed off and all that. So Trump is kind of creating several different dimensions of power or persuasion, because at the one point he caused the market to go up.

00:38:29.060 As soon as he posted, this is before the markets opened and it influenced the markets. But on another level, he caused the Iranians to be put in this defense mode of whether they're going to do this or not, even if they weren't or they were not planning on being serious about these negotiations.

00:38:55.380 And then also giving Iranians, the IRGC and the leadership, a possibility to save face in front of their people and have them be on TV saying, oh, Trump is scared of us, you know.

00:39:13.180 so it it works in all sorts of ways uh anybody that doesn't see what trump is doing which is a

00:39:22.420 lot of the regular mainstream news they're just thinking this is just chaos or this is just him

00:39:28.860 bloviating but it's it's amazing to see the skills that he has well all right so here i go

00:39:38.600 All right. I'm going to ask the question that I know there's some people that want me to ask. And did Netanyahu approve of this? Like what's Bibi's take?

00:39:47.840 So Israel is aware of this situation. I mean, he doesn't really have a take. He's going to continue doing what Israel continues to do, which is, you know, defend itself if they get hit. But the White House did say that Israel was aware of it and that they were informed.

00:40:09.560 Okay.

00:40:10.700 I don't think Israel has a vote.

00:40:13.480 Yes, Israel does not have a vote.

00:40:15.040 but i think um certainly they want to coordinate with them and i know israel has talked about the

00:40:20.460 fact that they may keep fighting even after the u.s leaves but i have to imagine that at least

00:40:25.480 i don't know to me i find that unlikely um i don't know maybe it's not unlikely but i just think

00:40:33.300 at least while we're there i don't think they're going to do that like they're not going to be

00:40:37.640 like haha we're going to keep bombing you know and because that would just piss off trump to no 0.69

00:40:42.580 mind. So maybe after the aircraft carriers turn around and we're on our way back and we're going

00:40:48.240 to swing by Cuba on the way, then maybe Israel will say, oh, we have a new threat. We got to go

00:40:54.980 do this. And they might take advantage of the fact that all the air defenses are still down and they

00:40:59.340 can have their way with it. But temporarily, I think they have to do whatever Trump tells them

00:41:05.540 to do what's um japan's role in this like what are they bringing in and who's who's should they

00:41:13.880 stay there the navy um just recently if you want to know erica on sunday um japan uh is made uh

00:41:25.740 promises to bring in their ships that are anti-mine ships in the area. They have such 0.92

00:41:36.700 great technology that they're going to go to the Strait of Hormuz. As some people know,

00:41:44.480 there's a possibility of Iran either having already mines there previously or putting in

00:41:51.260 mines in that area so that they'll explode when you pass by. So Japan is one of the countries 0.95

00:42:00.180 that has supported the US and is going to send ships and their technology to find mines and

00:42:06.860 minesweep the area. So that's great to hear. But the other thing that we have to realize is that

00:42:13.760 The thread is mainly not to this country, but it is to our allies.

00:42:21.120 And on Saturday, I talked about this.

00:42:23.640 Thank you for everybody that showed up on the after party.

00:42:26.860 You did great.

00:42:28.780 Yeah, you did great.

00:42:29.520 I did so great.

00:42:30.860 I lasted four hours, people.

00:42:33.420 Girl.

00:42:34.940 It's amazing.

00:42:36.260 Well, anyways, I digress.

00:42:37.600 um basically what happened on saturday morning i guess for us um or night uh friday night

00:42:46.860 anyways what happened then is iran iran hit the diego garcia didn't hit it but attempted to hit

00:42:54.560 it with two missiles and the diego garcia as most of you know because i know how genius you guys are

00:43:01.560 is about 2,500 miles away from Iran. And that means that they could potentially hit any other 0.95

00:43:08.660 target that's that far, which if you calculated, it would be Europe and other Gulf nations and all

00:43:16.860 sorts of other things. And the funny part about it is, it's not funny, but the funny thing is

00:43:26.080 that people were saying that Trump didn't know this, that there was no

00:43:31.440 such missiles, but obviously there is.

00:43:34.520 Um, and one of the people that would be affected or one of the countries that

00:43:39.360 would be affected would be the UK and Keir Starmer, the prime minister has

00:43:45.200 always been hesitant to support any kind of, uh, deployment or of any kind

00:43:53.960 of their forces, but they're actually a target. And, uh, yesterday he was asked about this or

00:44:00.260 this morning, he was asked about what he would, how he's reacting to the fact that Iran can hit

00:44:06.640 the UK. And he didn't have anything to say. He basically said, Oh, okay. Or something like

00:44:13.220 really very beta, uh, not, not leadership at all. Even the, um, Saturday night life made fun of him.

00:44:22.440 Saturday Night Live showed. And the only reason I know that Saturday Night Live made fun of it is

00:44:27.420 because Trump posted the Saturday Night Live clip on his Truth Social. And I'll post it later. But

00:44:35.240 it was basically Keir Starmer trying to avoid Trump's phone calls and looking very, you know,

00:44:42.780 hesitant to do anything. So that's that was funny. But it is a danger. And so I'm glad that there's

00:44:48.860 negotiations happening and uh the back channels say that it is true that they're happening

00:44:55.480 um and iran's still denying it i mean my my question on that would be like who is trump

00:45:01.820 talking to because oh they said the name oh you did okay uh yeah ash goli i sorry i butcher names

00:45:10.140 but um something asher goli or something like that he is part of their intelligence from the irgc i

00:45:17.960 think um but he they they named they mentioned names uh because he was asked uh about it because

00:45:26.820 iran right away came out against against it and then um he had to give more information the white

00:45:34.520 house okay interesting because i you know i was just thinking the possibility might be that

00:45:40.060 trump has somebody in mind to take control and he might be negotiating with one element and then

00:45:44.480 another element doesn't agree with them and they might you know be saying no we we're not talking

00:45:49.060 to trump and it just might be that they're different people but um you know maybe that's

00:45:53.820 not the case and it might be the persuasion play that you're talking about where it's a way to let

00:45:59.300 them say face and de-escalate um the other thing i was thinking was you know trump made this 48

00:46:06.120 hour deadline thing and that's true that was a really provocative move right like he and i think

00:46:12.620 he may have just been testing the waters like oh i can do this and then now i'm saying oh well

00:46:17.460 we're having these productive talks so we're going to put it off for five days and see how it goes

00:46:21.560 and um it's a way that trump could potentially say i'm not actually going to hit the power plants

00:46:27.460 yet um without you know without i mean basically he had the two days to see what happened right

00:46:35.800 like to see if iran would back down or make some kind of deal and if they didn't he might have just

00:46:40.980 had that in his mind like well I don't really have to hit the power plants I can just say oh

00:46:44.860 we're having these productive talks so I'm gonna give him another five days and see how it goes

00:46:49.480 and have a ceasefire and he still has all his options open right like he could still hit the

00:46:54.380 power plant he could do whatever else he wants to do he could you know go in a completely different

00:46:58.840 direction which because all he's really saying is we're going to take a pause here and see what see

00:47:06.480 whether we can make a deal. And he added this very interesting part this morning. I don't know

00:47:13.940 if it was with Fox and Friends or sorry, I didn't look at the source, but he added that the five

00:47:21.080 days is conditional. So he can change the five days to be zero days if they, because in his

00:47:29.120 um in his post he says his condition on these talks and how they're going um so if the other

00:47:39.040 side walks out he can be like oh they walked out we're on again so the 48 hours um if you want to

00:47:46.640 tell uh owen that's a post right from from yesterday i believe yeah he he basically said

00:47:53.840 you have 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz. And if you don't, then we're going to start

00:47:59.240 hitting your power plants, starting with the biggest one. And that's a really provocative

00:48:04.200 thing because that may actually mean they don't have water because their desalinization plants

00:48:09.220 stop working. I'm hoping that wouldn't have been the case if he was going to do that. But

00:48:14.040 even if it wasn't affecting desalinization, because I think that's on some coastal areas

00:48:19.040 and maybe on an island. So it may not be where their largest power plant is, but

00:48:22.700 it would certainly create a shortage of electricity probably blackouts a lot of chaos a lot of civil

00:48:28.980 unrest potentially um it's it would be harder to have them keep control of the population and

00:48:34.440 that may have positive or negative effects depending on your point of view but it would

00:48:38.460 definitely be a destabilizing move and also would potentially take them years to recover from like

00:48:44.340 it's not something you can just stand up another one tomorrow um you know if he really bombed those

00:48:50.040 big power plants it might include the transformers that are really hard to replace like literally it

00:48:53.920 might take years to get them back online and so it could really be a crippling move and i know

00:48:59.220 trump has said that over and over again that like we could take him out in 10 minutes if we wanted

00:49:02.360 to we're kind of holding back and um so you know i'm glad they didn't do that um i'm glad we didn't

00:49:09.660 hit him but um yeah i mean it was just you know going into that when i saw that 48 hour post it

00:49:17.580 is like, well, to me, the most likely scenario is he will hit the power plants because Trump's

00:49:22.140 not going to back down and Iran's not going to back down. And so I think Trump is kind of

00:49:26.740 threading the needle here. He's not really backing down, but he's kind of saying, oh,

00:49:29.900 we're going to have these talks and we're going to put it off for a while. And so it's kind of

00:49:35.100 genius, I think, in a way that he's not saying, psych, I'm not doing it. Or he basically just

00:49:41.540 created a third way. Well, didn't Iran threaten the same thing that they would knock out the 0.87

00:49:46.980 desalination plans for all the other countries surrounding them so yeah you know a lot of people

00:49:53.220 will die if that happens without a without a nuke so i think um i think i mean what do you

00:50:01.040 think everybody i i would say that we have to agree i'm assuming this is me but i feel like

00:50:06.780 trump knows he has to wind this thing down right so i don't know i i just i'm just wondering you

00:50:16.460 like who he's listening to what's happening because you know i see half of the people like

00:50:21.420 the lindsey graham people want to wind it up further and you know they love this and then

00:50:26.060 there's other people that are like you got to bring this thing to an end you know or there's

00:50:30.940 no coming back so i'm assuming trump would want to end this faster for his i think he's listening

00:50:38.620 to himself i mean i think he he he knows what we all know i mean that he shouldn't continue there

00:50:48.060 but he wants to also not uh get out and then leave chaos you know he wants something productive be

00:50:57.340 left behind even if the leadership stays help me with this here's what i wonder so i feel like

00:51:02.700 like, you know, we're, and again, I just talk casually, you guys, I'm not Owen or Marcella.

00:51:09.320 Okay. But I look at it like, I'm not them. They're much smarter about these things. I'm

00:51:16.320 just taking the every, every man and woman's point of view. But so I feel like, okay, so we're in a

00:51:22.280 war, like with Israel, like we went into this together with them. Now, if we want to get out 0.93

00:51:29.820 and Israel doesn't, and they keep escalating. Because what I'm hearing from Netanyahu is like,

00:51:35.820 Iran needs to know that they're on the bottom and we're on top. And I don't see 1.00

00:51:40.280 them calming down at all. So how do we handle our business and get out, but they're going to

00:51:47.940 keep going full force. And now we're linked to them. I mean, Iran's like, this is the two of 1.00

00:51:53.100 you now so i feel like it's even more negotiating more 4d chess like what is he going to do to say

00:52:00.440 like we're leaving what they do now is up to them and iran's going to be like oh no no no like you

00:52:05.700 guys did this together so how do we handle that well i mean the midnight hammer um which was last

00:52:13.340 year we had uh the u.s had bombings in iran um which then there was different missions that israel

00:52:22.380 had afterwards um and there was no issue of the u.s leaving because the u.s left that they just

00:52:30.140 did a quick here's the bombs we go out so i don't foresee any issues israel will always defend

00:52:39.180 itself you know like any other country um and they will do whatever they need to do the the us being

00:52:45.580 there or not uh is not going to change that so i don't see any issue but i think there's potential

00:52:54.860 several potential paths here like one is that trump may just convince that yahoo to just hold

00:53:02.220 off at least for a while um because in theory just like midnight hammer we bought a lot of time like

00:53:07.420 they're not going to have new nukes anytime soon they're not going to be able to enrich the uranium

00:53:12.620 next week um they're not gonna you know it's gonna take a long time for them to recover even

00:53:18.380 from what has already happened so there there's lots of room for israel to just take a step back

00:53:23.920 at this point and i think it it also probably makes sense for israel to do that because

00:53:28.760 look at their situation like they're getting bombed right now by iran you know there was

00:53:34.940 some cluster munition that just landed in the middle of tel aviv um it didn't kill anybody

00:53:39.600 fortunately but it landed you know it got through the iron dome and um that iron dome has limited

00:53:47.000 capacity right it only has so many patriot missiles and once you run out it takes a while

00:53:51.340 to replace them and so um it probably doesn't make sense for israel to go much longer than they have

00:53:57.880 because if they keep lobbing missiles or keep strikes and bombings happen both ways then

00:54:03.880 eventually they're going to be vulnerable and then on top of that they've still trying to disarm

00:54:09.080 Hamas and Gaza they're also bombing Hezbollah they just there was a story I posted today about

00:54:16.080 how they took out a bunch of bridges to try and reduce Hezbollah's ability to move around 1.00

00:54:20.680 and so they're kind of like on a three-front war right now and I don't know how much longer

00:54:25.260 they can do that without you know opening themselves up to some pretty bad consequences

00:54:33.620 so you're right i mean we don't know if behind the scenes israel is asking um is asking trump

00:54:42.120 to negotiate this so we don't know and the interesting thing to me is if trump leaves

00:54:51.100 and if israel keeps bombing or keeps going trump might actually be in a position to broker the

00:54:58.080 peace deal. Right. True. Like, you know, right now, you know, we, we can't, you know, we're,

00:55:06.100 we're not going to talk to you or, you know, Iran's just resisting and saying, you know,

00:55:10.320 death to America or whatever else they're saying. Right. But if Trump leaves and says, we're done,

00:55:16.120 you know, we've gotten our deal or whatever. And then Israel keeps going. Iran might say,

00:55:22.280 what the hell? Why, you know, why are you still attacking? I thought we had a deal or something. 0.94

00:55:26.840 And then Trump could potentially use that as leverage to say, well, let's broker a deal.

00:55:31.820 I can get Israel to stop, but you got to do X, Y, and Z. 0.99

00:55:35.160 Right.

00:55:35.380 So you guys, you guys are so good in the chat.

00:55:38.300 And to Rob that said, I'm selling Trump short.

00:55:42.260 It's not that.

00:55:43.420 It's just, it's complicated.

00:55:45.320 And what I want you to know, and I think all of us who voted for Trump should remember,

00:55:50.740 you know, he's our guy.

00:55:52.320 We voted for him.

00:55:53.580 He's our president.

00:55:54.380 I stand by him. We have three years left with him, and I think he wants to do as much as he

00:56:02.000 possibly can before he leaves, as probably only he can do. He's got the negotiations going with

00:56:10.020 Wyckoff and Kushner, who I would love to talk to them about their negotiating and persuasion game

00:56:15.980 because holy cow. And Trump is amazing at negotiating. And I want this to go really well,

00:56:23.640 and I want it to wrap up soon, but in the best possible way. I don't want it to wrap up too soon

00:56:28.740 and then we fall short and then the problems come up again. I mean, this is a long time coming and

00:56:34.220 I think we never thought we would see the day where we're actually fighting with Iran, but here 0.56

00:56:39.420 we are. So now that we're here, yeah, let's finish it. Let's finish it the right way with the least

00:56:45.720 amount of uh casualties please lord um so i do gayatola yeah long live the gayatola and his

00:56:54.140 erectile dysfunction but so you know i think everybody no matter how we feel we really have

00:57:00.840 to support our president especially during a war now i also want to put the other light on it where

00:57:06.880 i've asked myself and i do this often what if biden was doing this like how would we feel about

00:57:12.520 it. And that's where I just want to say, sometimes you have to think about that too. Like, all right,

00:57:17.160 it doesn't matter whether he would or he wouldn't or how he'd do it, but how would we feel if Biden

00:57:22.780 was the one doing this? Like we might be outraged and freaking out. So I only say that to just make

00:57:28.120 you understand that like, sometimes people are just, you know, can see both sides of an issue

00:57:33.540 or they're like on the fence about it or like, yeah, I want that to be the result, but I don't

00:57:37.660 know if this is the right way to go. And you said no more wars, but now we're doing this. So

00:57:42.000 it's not always black and white and there's a lot of gray area and there's a lot of unknown

00:57:46.840 and uncertainty and we don't know what they know, yada, yada. So I just want to say, I stand by

00:57:51.960 Trump. I am trusting him that he's doing the right thing for all of us, for the benefit of everybody

00:58:00.240 for the future moving forward. I just pray that it comes to a swift, safe end and that it puts

00:58:06.360 an end to all the bullshit over there once and for all and people can feel safe and free that's

00:58:13.180 what my hope is and um i'll stand by him for his entire term for sure um that being said we're

00:58:21.060 coming to the end of the show does anyone marcella or owen have like a little light story that they

00:58:27.600 could leave us with something fun yours i do good so there's there's a migrant criminal that beat

00:58:35.300 his deportation order from the UK with the chicken nugget defense.

00:58:40.440 Tell us.

00:58:41.260 So he was going to be deported from the UK and he claimed his British son hates foreign

00:58:46.880 chicken nuggets texture.

00:58:49.240 He entered illegally in 2001 with a fake ID.

00:58:52.520 He got indefinite leave in 2005.

00:58:55.020 He was jailed for two years for 250,000 pounds of dirty money.

00:59:01.260 And the judge ruled under article eight of human rights that he's allowed to stay.

00:59:05.300 As he said, Reform UK Zia Yusuf said, a criminal migrant who had entered Britain illegally under a false name and lied in a failed asylum claim has successfully fought his deportation by arguing his son disliked foreign chicken nuggets.

00:59:19.040 This is the country that Tories and laborers have created. 1.00

00:59:22.800 Wow.

00:59:23.520 What?
