00:00:00.060In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees can grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields.
00:13:30.240use your pen but I like the pen the best but I'll sign it I could do like
00:13:34.060Biden did you know give it to somebody else to sign or an auto pen or maybe sign
00:13:39.180it separately in another room but I can't use your pen he said well I can
00:13:42.660make it nicer so what can you do he said I'll paint it black I said that's
00:13:46.980nice and I can even paint the White House on it sir if you like in gold
00:13:53.460almost real gold not bad and I could even do your signature sir and by the
00:13:59.520way this was not staged i just saw the pen sit there i thought that this is an example
00:14:03.220of how 25 million dollars spent by me at the federal reserve building would be a better job
00:14:10.200than four billion dollars that they're spending and you know one of the things that kevin war
00:14:16.300told me for 25 million it would be better okay i love that i was like he's in there with like the
00:14:23.840whole press and all of his top people and he's going on about this pen but did you guys know
00:14:29.640that those pens were a thousand dollars each no i had no idea that's insane every time you guys
00:14:36.840would see a president signing an official document and then they're handing pens out each pen was a
00:14:43.420thousand dollars that is so stupid so i love that and i mean we we all love a good sharpie i've got
00:14:50.420like 20 of them right here so i did love that so i got i got a couple of the trump sharpies after
00:14:56.220the sharpie gate thing and he started selling it as merch i thought that was just so brilliant i'm
00:14:59.820like i need a couple of those let me order some that's amazing that's amazing um i'm just looking
00:15:06.680i know the waste it is so annoying um all right so i want to get back to some news again and owen i
00:15:14.340think you are up next but i just thought he's just so funny he's he i mean not to you know all
00:15:20.800right you guys are gonna make fun of me for the jersey thing but doesn't he remind you of like
00:15:24.700don corleone sitting there he's like i said i need a better pen you know he's he said i could
00:15:30.660even put your signature on it oh my god he's so funny i love him i posted a similar clip of trump
00:15:38.420just being really i don't know i just loved it it was he was asked something about you know the
00:15:45.340iran war and he's like well we can't use the word war because we're supposed to ask for approval
00:15:50.200so we're going to call it a military operation so i'm going to use the word military operation
00:15:54.980and i just what i love about that is that um he he's just like breaking the fourth wall right
00:16:04.040Like, it's like, okay, I'm going to tell you the stuff I'm not supposed to say, and I'm going to be on your side of, you know, this, like, I'm going to explain what's going on with this whole game we're playing in the government.
00:16:13.560You know, we haven't had a declared war since World War II.
00:16:24.180It's all just we're going to classify it this way because then it goes under this part of the law and it doesn't trigger all these other things.
00:16:30.780and we don't have to vote. So we don't have to go on record saying we support it. And
00:16:34.460I just, I love when Trump does that, like in the past, when he's said, you know, we're there for
00:16:40.620the oil. He just comes out and says it. And the media always just like their jaw drops. And they're
00:16:45.960like, wait a second, you're not supposed to say that, even though everyone knows it's true. So
00:16:50.540I just love that. At least he's transparent. And you can't say you didn't know. And if he said
00:16:55.540anything else, they would, it doesn't matter what he says, actually. But Marcella, what do you think
00:16:59.960about that whole theory um i like him breaking the fourth wall he's he's unique he there's no one
00:17:06.880there's no one else like him and and he makes uh uh in order he's the funniest um president we've
00:17:14.560ever had i mean uh i think yesterday the the the clip you showed was from a cabinet meeting and
00:17:20.800in the cabinet meeting marco rubio was talking about venezuela and how venezuela loves him
00:17:27.120and so much for what he's done Trump and he explained uh I think another um another cabinet
00:17:37.460secretary if you if you know who it is put it in the chat said that that Venezuela was thinking of
00:17:44.380building a uh statue to him and so then they started talking about other things like actual
00:17:50.580like uh more serious stuff but then Trump came back with a one-liner saying well wait a minute
00:17:58.680let's go back to the whole thing about my statue again um so you know it's just no one um no one's
00:18:06.000like him but the left um every time he is like that gets so oh my gosh they get so angry like
00:18:14.500I've seen it where I see people while in person looking at these things and they, oh my gosh,
00:18:22.300he sets them off so badly. And I just laugh. They're like, it's not funny.
00:18:27.940Tying into both of these stories, Trump is going to be starting to put his signature on money,
00:18:36.080on paper money. So instead of the treasury secretary that has been putting the signature
00:18:41.020on it it's going to be trump's signature so that is going to be another you know setting off the
00:18:45.980left moment where they're going to see trump's name all over their money they're doing that for
00:18:50.380the 250th anniversary apparently i wonder if he's like oh if i put my signature on money it'll make
00:18:56.140people flock to bitcoin and maybe you know their bitcoin thing will become more valuable
00:19:03.420i mean you could argue that it might help with inflation because people might think of it as a
00:19:07.660a collector's item. Oh, and are you in the bathroom? Come back. I'm still here. Sorry.
00:19:14.220Do I sound better now? Yes. No, you do. All right. I think my microphone might have been
00:19:18.480different than I thought it was, but yeah, I'm here. But I love, I love, that's Trump. Trump
00:19:25.240wants to see giant tees and Trump and his name everywhere and in lights and statues. Yes.
00:19:32.060buildings monuments you know name everything after him i mean he that those are people that
00:19:38.180thrive on legacy so it's like you know they want to leave a legacy um you know for all eternity
00:19:44.780so that's trump the ultimate i know trump on rushmore right let's go i mean honestly
00:19:50.180there's never gonna be another trump i know a lot of people are like thank god but there just
00:19:58.040won't be i mean the the the changes the uh the i don't know just the energy behind him and how
00:20:06.660so many things shifted it's just um i think he should be on mount rushmore because he's he
00:20:14.080deserves to be there whether you like him or not whether you're mad or not right now
00:20:17.820he is consequential like i think he changed reality and i think it's never going to be the
00:20:24.960same. I think he changed politics. I think he set our country in a new direction. And I'm hoping
00:20:29.080that after that, someone like Vance can just bring back some stability, but keep going in the right
00:20:34.220direction. And, you know, but I think things are never going to be the same after Trump.
00:20:39.260No, definitely not. So one other thing, you know, we were talking about the other day,
00:20:48.820oh my gosh, now I can't remember what exactly it was, but we were talking about, oh, I think it was
00:20:52.900a reframe about, you know, having your opinions and how you think, oh, let me click this. Cause
00:20:58.220I found a clip here. I wanted to show you. I think it's here. Nope. It's here.
00:21:07.120Um, about elections and thinking for yourself and like looking at both sides of a story.
00:21:13.720And I know the other day when BJ was here, we were talking about Joe Kent, he was going to be
00:21:18.720on tucker and i said okay so watch him on tucker and also watch him on mark levin
00:21:25.040because everybody's trying to shape a narrative and um i think you guys will be happy if my
00:21:31.200computer gets together here i wanted to show you this clip here it is um of scott talking about
00:21:40.000we discuss this all the time how our opinions are assigned to us so again another couple of
00:21:45.200minutes. Let's just jump in here and then we'll talk on the other side. I say that censorship is
00:21:52.080the new voting. What do you say? Because we've got this big debate over whether Musk is improving
00:21:58.160free speech or making it worse, say his critics. But whichever way it is, would you agree that the
00:22:06.600following is true? That censorship determines what narrative is the important one. Would you agree?
00:22:15.200If you never see a competing narrative, you latch on to the one that you see.
00:22:21.840So censorship determines what narrative rises to our attention, right?
00:22:27.600And the narrative would determine your opinion, right?
00:24:11.560make the most of it at best western book direct and save at bestwestern.com
00:24:17.100so we talk about this often um let me get my chat back up so marcella i'm going to come to
00:24:28.680you first on that and i it's i do think it's changed do you think it's changed you know i i
00:24:35.440think i i respectfully disagree i don't think has i think what has happened is we are we're more
00:24:42.060knowledgeable we're more informed about what is happening but in the past i think things were a
00:24:49.340bit similar um it's just that people didn't know weren't not informed they're didn't have the
00:24:56.820internet didn't have newspapers i mean back in you know back in my day back in john adams day
00:25:03.220you know so i think in general it has become worse it has progressed i do give you that so
00:25:09.580yeah owen i think it's gotten i i think the censorship aspect has gotten better certainly
00:25:18.400since elon took over x and i think more people are getting their news from the internet or social
00:25:27.340media than they were before in terms of just getting it from legacy sources or newspapers
00:25:32.460or things like that so i think the censorship was more centralized in the past and it was easier to
00:25:38.820control i think it's harder to control now but i certainly still think the battle is being fought
00:25:43.380i think people are still trying to get their you know their message out and stifle the other side
00:25:49.460and but i think it's to me it's more like they have to fight the other message and maybe try
00:25:56.420to drown it out rather than being able to just stop people from being able to say what they want
00:26:01.460to say or express their opinion. And I think a lot of that's also happening with things the
00:26:08.540Trump administration is doing in terms of working on universities to have more people, less stuff
00:26:16.000and not censoring Republicans or conservatives and pointing out that they need to be more balanced.
00:26:23.160And you have a long way to go. But I think in some ways, I think we're moving in the right
00:26:29.800direction. I think we have to be careful. I think if we're aware that this is potentially what is
00:26:37.640happening or could happen, really keep your head on a swivel, what's being put in front of you
00:26:43.840and embrace the nuance and realize that, yeah, people are always trying to assign opinions to
00:26:52.500you. I think sometimes we can get lazy and be like, oh, okay, I trust that person. I'll just
00:26:59.320go with that. But I don't know. I think if you just really step back, like I was talking to
00:27:05.900someone recently who is a devoted Q follower, QAnon. And I don't know much about Q, but he told
00:27:18.160me, oh, Q gets so many things right and this and that. And I was like, well, honestly, tell me
00:27:24.400what did q get right like i don't know anything about q and he's like oh a lot of stuff and i'm
00:27:29.900like okay well like tell me one like i was using scott's persuasion right like okay well if he got
00:27:34.440a lot right just tell me tell me one and um he's like well i'd have to look and then i'll let you
00:27:40.580know and i said well i just want you to really beware that you've been following this for you
00:27:46.060know a decade and you're in your mind you're believing that they got so many things right
00:27:53.520because we're reading and like hearing this narrative that they're feeding you. I don't
00:27:57.300know if it's every day, but when asked like, well, what's the one major thing or the one
00:28:02.260thing that stands out and you can't really think of one. That's what I mean. Like you've got to
00:28:07.440pay attention. Okay. So like, there's a lot of like, um, hyped up podcasts and yes, Candace
00:28:14.600Owens is one of them. Um, you know, so it's like, all right, well, did any of these things come
00:28:20.820true you know is that real you know it can fully be entertaining and that's fine but just remember
00:28:26.900it might be entertaining um maybe that's what's keeping you there is the like the cliffhanger
00:28:33.220every day and this thing's gonna happen and i hope it's gonna happen so is it the entertainment
00:28:39.380that's shaping your opinion and the promise of the thing that's gonna happen or are the things
00:28:43.780really happening and so just be careful of what's being assigned to you and well and and you know
00:28:50.640when i when i observed what was going on with q um and i think this is important to just think
00:28:58.180about when you're saying okay who am i going to follow or you know where am i going to spend my
00:29:02.120time on in terms of media consumption it's like the net message or the net persuasion of where
00:29:09.960Q was pushing people was complacency and inaction. Because when you looked at what they would say,
00:29:19.160they'd make a bunch of predictions and they'd say, oh, this is going to happen at this time,
00:29:23.240or Trump's going to do this, or look at the timestamp of this and how it matches up exactly
00:29:28.520to that. And it got worse and worse in terms of what it was claiming were predictions.
00:29:33.380It ended up descending into numerology, and that's when I got really fed up with it. But
00:29:37.420But as I was thinking about it, what I thought was, well, the main message they're pushing is patriots are in control.
00:29:46.320They were predicting that Hillary and all these other people from the deep state were about to be arrested and the military was going to arrest them.
00:29:53.260And that the military had taken over and that all the patriot people were taking control of the government, essentially, which sounds like a coup when you step back from that.
00:30:05.000And obviously, most of that never happened.
00:30:07.420But I think the net message to the listener was, don't worry about it.
00:57:17.880Well, on April 1st, um, district, disregarding that, um, on April 1st, 2026, they'll land, they'll launch an SLS rocket with Orion spacecraft with the four astronauts, uh, for a 10 day orbit testing deep space capabilities.
00:57:38.540This is under Trump, under NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. He underscores that reasserting U.S. lunar dominance is very important because we're competing against China, we're competing against Russia, and being able to be, again, dominant in the moon, or as some would say, for the first time.
00:58:06.560but now i i don't know about the first time did anyone happen to watch that y files episode we
00:58:14.120were talking about last week um with the the person who had the alien encounter you guys i'm
00:58:20.400so bad with names but you know what i'm talking about the y files podcast i know i linked it
00:58:24.680it was pretty amazing so if that guy's right and i want to save owen's right i don't know why
00:58:33.980there's a whole city on the dark side of the moon it's the documentary effect i'm just reporting
00:58:41.120the documentary i don't think i have any opinion on how true it is but it was an interesting story
00:58:46.600it was very fascinating yeah so it's called the y files w-h-y the y files someone's asking in the
00:58:53.720chat so look it up on youtube the y files and it was one of his it's called uh like the basement
00:58:59.000he does like a segment called the basement where he's like interviewing people in his studio that
00:59:03.380calls the basement and look for, um, it's like a UAP type of story, like a UFO type of story.
00:59:11.440Um, but, and I also recommend, unless you like really long, like dragged out, listen to it
00:59:18.540plain. I listened to it at like 1.5 or 1.75. And it was like a perfect speed for me. Fascinating
00:59:24.920story. If true, I just want to say, so listen, here we are. We have two minutes to, um, the end
