00:01:43.660 well, we said it was going to be four to six weeks. So do the math. And it's like sometime
00:01:47.900 in April. And I think that was in reaction to the President Xi meeting being rescheduled for May
00:01:55.440 because they didn't want to do it while they were at Orr. So I think they're kind of planning
00:01:59.780 a timeline. I don't know if they'll stick to it, but that's the plan.

00:03:56.880 It is Friday, March 27, 2026, in the year of our Lord.
00:04:02.560 That's like my new favorite thing now.
00:04:04.280 So listen, we have some news for you.
00:04:08.020 I have a couple of clips ready for you guys.
00:04:10.900 But I did ask Owen to start today with a lighter story, maybe something science-y, Owen?
00:04:21.360 Sure.
00:04:21.920 Sure. Well, there's a study that was done that shows that chatting with people beats
00:04:27.320 interactions with AI chatbots to reduce loneliness. So I think we can say backwards science maybe,
00:04:34.240 or you could have just asked Scott in this case, maybe more appropriate. But I think you probably
00:04:40.780 could have just asked Scott, I think. But the study had people texting with a bot, but some
00:04:48.220 of them were people and some of them were chatbots over two weeks um it said the ai offered a short
00:04:53.840 boost but was not sustained um they had this chatbot named sam that was mimicking an ideal
00:04:59.520 friend so i don't know maybe an ideal friend isn't the best friend to have um but they said
00:05:04.240 people were twice as likely to continue the chats with humans so apparently people are still valuable
00:05:09.860 you can still be someone's friend even if you don't have a job listen that's so good to know
00:05:15.340 you guys. And by the way, you know, yes, people are valuable. And last night on, on locals for
00:05:21.500 the subscribers, we had Jimmy on who created the Scott Adams meetups. So a lot of people are now
00:05:30.580 finding each other. And if you go, he has a new website, you guys, it is so good. You do have to
00:05:36.100 be a, um, an ex subscriber. Okay. But the website is called Scott Adams meetups.com. And you can
00:05:46.220 either click, you know, how do I host a meetup or, or host a meetup? It's so super, super, super
00:05:53.060 simple. Please check it out. Please host a meetup. And if you have any questions, you can DM Jimmy.
00:05:59.620 he said, just feel free to DM him on X at Scott Adams meet. So it's at Scott Adams meet M E E T
00:06:07.740 on X and DM him for questions. He's so happy to help you, but man, the feedback's been so good
00:06:14.220 of people, you know, if you're tired of talking to a chat bot or, or, you know, not talking to
00:06:19.420 somebody in person, definitely host one and people will come. Even if it's just you and one other
00:06:25.640 person at least you have scott in common to start with and i think that's so fun so great feedback
00:06:31.100 from that um okay now marcella what can you tell us about some news today if you have a nice little
00:06:40.120 story for us um i have several but the first one um it's there were robots at the white house on
00:06:48.780 Wednesday, the first lady, Melania Trump, introduced a walking, talking humanoid at the
00:06:55.960 White House. It wasn't Biden, but he walked like Biden. Recently suggested that robots could
00:07:03.260 replace human teachers. Again, the whole chatbot versus human interaction. It's to be determined
00:07:13.140 whether that's a good idea or not but the the actual robot that was walking there was figure
00:07:21.900 three from a u.s california startup figure during that final day of the white house summit for
00:07:32.600 education she had him come in he talked or she talked because it had a female voice and a lot
00:07:42.300 of people um how did i say it they criticized the voice of figure three because they had a valley
00:07:51.080 accent from california um not not of course not like my voice but um so it was interesting to see
00:08:02.260 it walking and talking and doing everything and it wasn't some actor or some kind of puppet it
00:08:11.820 actually did all of that um and then melania the first lady did actually indicate that it would be
00:08:20.540 a good idea to have them as robot the robots as teachers um and some people in the comments in x
00:08:29.260 said that that was a better idea than having the leftist teachers that we have today um however
00:08:35.580 you never know how they're going to be programmed but uh yeah i wouldn't trust that at all i would
00:08:40.940 say it's even more likely to do it and maybe it would even do it in a more insidious way where
00:08:45.220 you're not really picking up on it because it can be more sly about how it slips in all these
00:08:48.740 little things here and there. Somebody said when you saw all the like there was like a clip of
00:08:55.560 like all the different like robots like marching like in the factories and whatever and I saw
00:09:00.600 somebody say wait till they hand each one of those like a an AR you know like a rifle and I'm like
00:09:06.320 oh my god they're gonna turn on i mean that's coming great yeah i mean no i don't think we're
00:09:13.900 far from that i think they're actually starting to test that in ukraine awesome good times testing
00:09:19.160 grounds good times yeah and they're bulletproof basically oh my gosh well and and did you guys
00:09:25.580 see the clip that's there i wish i pulled it for you guys there was a clip of biden walking anywhere
00:09:31.860 with that same like robot like a side by side screen it's uncanny did you like did you guys
00:09:39.320 see that it was really uncanny from the factory yeah and then i was like well maybe well the only
00:09:46.320 thing that i didn't think was a robot a biden is when they brought out that six foot five
00:09:52.120 yeah he was like he he like uh he was outside the white house they filmed him
00:09:58.120 the rose garden there you go and he he almost touched like the ceiling of where the pillar
00:10:06.080 beats and i remember there was like memes made like this giant like baron trump-like figure
00:10:13.920 thing was was that this very spry biden-esque looking thing just came like waltzing out to
00:10:22.540 the Rose Garden and he's like all charismatic and like 20 years younger and five feet taller.
00:10:29.220 And I was like, are we never discussing that again? What did you think about that? Owen,
00:10:33.580 wasn't that suspect? Oh yeah, definitely. It didn't look like him at all. And I kind of wonder,
00:10:37.960 you know, why there was never much follow-up or questioning about that in the media, because it's
00:10:42.640 like that almost obviously was some kind of double, like a body double. And it was like with the first
00:10:49.560 lady i think and you know it's like what's what's going on here like i you know i don't doubt that
00:10:55.540 they do have body doubles for things like this but and maybe they just want to keep it secret but
00:10:59.920 it's like that one was not well done it's not not it was not convincing i was like i wish he was
00:11:08.460 like that but no oh my god see you guys now owen's probably not the biggest conspiracy theorist and
00:11:15.200 again just because they say it's a theory doesn't mean it's not true um so there was a lot of trump
00:11:21.900 stuff yesterday just like little interviews and clips i saw everywhere well you guys indulge me
00:11:28.680 for about two minutes because i just found this conversation so entertaining and it's trump and
00:11:37.120 he's got hegseth next to him i i can't i don't even remember who's on the other side but we'll
00:11:41.420 see in a minute. But this is Trump. He's being very practical here. Oh, is it Marco? He's being
00:11:46.700 very practical here. And I like the way he's thinking. So let's listen to President Trump
00:11:52.500 for two minutes. For 25 million, and it would be better. It would be better. See this pen right
00:12:01.200 here? This pen is an interesting example. It's the same thing. So this pen is very inexpensive,
00:12:06.040 but it writes well I like it but I can't have the pen the way it was you know what it is I
00:12:12.280 don't want to give too much publicity but they do treat me well sharpie
00:12:15.540 so I came here to have thousand dollar pens and you know you hand pens out you're signing
00:12:23.160 and you're handing them out you're handing them to all these people sometimes you have 30 40 people
00:12:26.900 and they were a thousand dollars a piece beautiful pen ballpoint thousand it was gold silver gorgeous
00:12:34.620 But I'm handing it out to kids that don't even know what to do.
00:12:36.740 What is this, mommy?
00:12:38.340 It's kids.
00:12:39.480 They're getting a pen for $1,000.
00:12:41.140 They have no idea what it is.
00:12:43.020 And I feel guilty because I'm like, you know, by nature, I don't, you know, it's the government.
00:12:48.240 I love the government like I love myself economically.
00:12:51.700 I want to save money.
00:12:53.240 So I'm saying, this is crazy.
00:12:55.140 And it had another problem.
00:12:56.180 They didn't write well.
00:12:57.680 So I take it out.
00:12:59.060 And I saw it, and there's no ink.
00:13:01.080 And I got all you people looking.
00:13:02.580 and you say there must be something wrong with Trump
00:13:05.140 and I'm signing
00:13:06.640 and there's no ink in the pen
00:13:08.440 and it costs a thousand dollars
00:13:09.940 this one I called the guy
00:13:12.020 I said I'd like to use your pen
00:13:14.620 but I can't have a grey thing with a big S
00:13:16.700 on it, saying Sharpie
00:13:18.660 as I'm signing a
00:13:20.300 trillion dollar airplane contract
00:13:22.960 to buy brand new fighter jets
00:13:25.040 brand new B-2 bombers
00:13:26.600 of which we just ordered plenty
00:13:27.980 I can't do that with the press
00:13:30.240 use your pen but I like the pen the best but I'll sign it I could do like
00:13:34.060 Biden did you know give it to somebody else to sign or an auto pen or maybe sign
00:13:39.180 it separately in another room but I can't use your pen he said well I can
00:13:42.660 make it nicer so what can you do he said I'll paint it black I said that's
00:13:46.980 nice and I can even paint the White House on it sir if you like in gold
00:13:53.460 almost real gold not bad and I could even do your signature sir and by the
00:13:59.520 way this was not staged i just saw the pen sit there i thought that this is an example
00:14:03.220 of how 25 million dollars spent by me at the federal reserve building would be a better job
00:14:10.200 than four billion dollars that they're spending and you know one of the things that kevin war
00:14:16.300 told me for 25 million it would be better okay i love that i was like he's in there with like the
00:14:23.840 whole press and all of his top people and he's going on about this pen but did you guys know
00:14:29.640 that those pens were a thousand dollars each no i had no idea that's insane every time you guys
00:14:36.840 would see a president signing an official document and then they're handing pens out each pen was a
00:14:43.420 thousand dollars that is so stupid so i love that and i mean we we all love a good sharpie i've got
00:14:50.420 like 20 of them right here so i did love that so i got i got a couple of the trump sharpies after
00:14:56.220 the sharpie gate thing and he started selling it as merch i thought that was just so brilliant i'm
00:14:59.820 like i need a couple of those let me order some that's amazing that's amazing um i'm just looking
00:15:06.680 i know the waste it is so annoying um all right so i want to get back to some news again and owen i
00:15:14.340 think you are up next but i just thought he's just so funny he's he i mean not to you know all
00:15:20.800 right you guys are gonna make fun of me for the jersey thing but doesn't he remind you of like
00:15:24.700 don corleone sitting there he's like i said i need a better pen you know he's he said i could
00:15:30.660 even put your signature on it oh my god he's so funny i love him i posted a similar clip of trump
00:15:38.420 just being really i don't know i just loved it it was he was asked something about you know the
00:15:45.340 iran war and he's like well we can't use the word war because we're supposed to ask for approval
00:15:50.200 so we're going to call it a military operation so i'm going to use the word military operation
00:15:54.980 and i just what i love about that is that um he he's just like breaking the fourth wall right
00:16:04.040 Like, 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.
00:16:13.560 You know, we haven't had a declared war since World War II.
00:16:16.220 So Vietnam was not a war, supposedly.
00:16:19.460 Korea was not a war.
00:16:21.200 Iraq was not a war.
00:16:22.660 But it's all just a game, right?
00:16:24.180 It'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.
00:16:30.780 and we don't have to vote. So we don't have to go on record saying we support it. And
00:16:34.460 I just, I love when Trump does that, like in the past, when he's said, you know, we're there for
00:16:40.620 the oil. He just comes out and says it. And the media always just like their jaw drops. And they're
00:16:45.960 like, wait a second, you're not supposed to say that, even though everyone knows it's true. So
00:16:50.540 I just love that. At least he's transparent. And you can't say you didn't know. And if he said
00:16:55.540 anything else, they would, it doesn't matter what he says, actually. But Marcella, what do you think
00:16:59.960 about that whole theory um i like him breaking the fourth wall he's he's unique he there's no one
00:17:06.880 there's no one else like him and and he makes uh uh in order he's the funniest um president we've
00:17:14.560 ever had i mean uh i think yesterday the the the clip you showed was from a cabinet meeting and
00:17:20.800 in the cabinet meeting marco rubio was talking about venezuela and how venezuela loves him
00:17:27.120 and so much for what he's done Trump and he explained uh I think another um another cabinet
00:17:37.460 secretary if you if you know who it is put it in the chat said that that Venezuela was thinking of
00:17:44.380 building a uh statue to him and so then they started talking about other things like actual
00:17:50.580 like uh more serious stuff but then Trump came back with a one-liner saying well wait a minute
00:17:58.680 let's go back to the whole thing about my statue again um so you know it's just no one um no one's
00:18:06.000 like him but the left um every time he is like that gets so oh my gosh they get so angry like
00:18:14.500 I've seen it where I see people while in person looking at these things and they, oh my gosh,
00:18:22.300 he sets them off so badly. And I just laugh. They're like, it's not funny.
00:18:27.940 Tying into both of these stories, Trump is going to be starting to put his signature on money,
00:18:36.080 on paper money. So instead of the treasury secretary that has been putting the signature
00:18:41.020 on it it's going to be trump's signature so that is going to be another you know setting off the
00:18:45.980 left moment where they're going to see trump's name all over their money they're doing that for
00:18:50.380 the 250th anniversary apparently i wonder if he's like oh if i put my signature on money it'll make
00:18:56.140 people flock to bitcoin and maybe you know their bitcoin thing will become more valuable
00:19:03.420 i mean you could argue that it might help with inflation because people might think of it as a
00:19:07.660 a collector's item. Oh, and are you in the bathroom? Come back. I'm still here. Sorry.
00:19:14.220 Do I sound better now? Yes. No, you do. All right. I think my microphone might have been
00:19:18.480 different than I thought it was, but yeah, I'm here. But I love, I love, that's Trump. Trump
00:19:25.240 wants to see giant tees and Trump and his name everywhere and in lights and statues. Yes.
00:19:32.060 buildings monuments you know name everything after him i mean he that those are people that
00:19:38.180 thrive on legacy so it's like you know they want to leave a legacy um you know for all eternity
00:19:44.780 so that's trump the ultimate i know trump on rushmore right let's go i mean honestly
00:19:50.180 there's never gonna be another trump i know a lot of people are like thank god but there just
00:19:58.040 won't be i mean the the the changes the uh the i don't know just the energy behind him and how
00:20:06.660 so many things shifted it's just um i think he should be on mount rushmore because he's he
00:20:14.080 deserves to be there whether you like him or not whether you're mad or not right now
00:20:17.820 he is consequential like i think he changed reality and i think it's never going to be the
00:20:24.960 same. I think he changed politics. I think he set our country in a new direction. And I'm hoping
00:20:29.080 that after that, someone like Vance can just bring back some stability, but keep going in the right
00:20:34.220 direction. And, you know, but I think things are never going to be the same after Trump.
00:20:39.260 No, definitely not. So one other thing, you know, we were talking about the other day,
00:20:48.820 oh my gosh, now I can't remember what exactly it was, but we were talking about, oh, I think it was
00:20:52.900 a reframe about, you know, having your opinions and how you think, oh, let me click this. Cause
00:20:58.220 I found a clip here. I wanted to show you. I think it's here. Nope. It's here.
00:21:07.120 Um, about elections and thinking for yourself and like looking at both sides of a story.
00:21:13.720 And I know the other day when BJ was here, we were talking about Joe Kent, he was going to be
00:21:18.720 on tucker and i said okay so watch him on tucker and also watch him on mark levin
00:21:25.040 because everybody's trying to shape a narrative and um i think you guys will be happy if my
00:21:31.200 computer gets together here i wanted to show you this clip here it is um of scott talking about
00:21:40.000 we discuss this all the time how our opinions are assigned to us so again another couple of
00:21:45.200 minutes. Let's just jump in here and then we'll talk on the other side. I say that censorship is
00:21:52.080 the new voting. What do you say? Because we've got this big debate over whether Musk is improving
00:21:58.160 free speech or making it worse, say his critics. But whichever way it is, would you agree that the
00:22:06.600 following is true? That censorship determines what narrative is the important one. Would you agree?
00:22:15.200 If you never see a competing narrative, you latch on to the one that you see.
00:22:21.840 So censorship determines what narrative rises to our attention, right?
00:22:27.600 And the narrative would determine your opinion, right?
00:22:31.560 So that's how we get opinions.
00:22:32.940 We don't really make opinions on our own.
00:22:35.800 Opinions are essentially assigned to us by the way the narrative is presented to us.
00:22:41.420 So the censorship determines the narrative.
00:22:44.040 The narrative determines public opinion.
00:22:47.520 Public opinion determines what the vote is,
00:22:50.960 because then we vote our opinions.
00:22:53.220 So you've got the censorship determines the narrative,
00:22:55.700 the narrative determines our public opinion,
00:22:57.580 our public opinion determines the vote.
00:23:00.280 And that's it.
00:23:02.380 That's our current system.
00:23:04.860 The current system is just a censorship game.
00:23:09.100 The vote actually becomes a somewhat subsidiary,
00:23:13.140 downstream guaranteed effect
00:23:16.060 that is guaranteed
00:23:17.460 by what happens upstream, right?
00:23:20.080 The vote is downstream
00:23:20.980 from censorship.
00:23:23.300 I'm borrowing Andrew Breitbart's
00:23:25.000 famous saying
00:23:25.620 that politics is downstream
00:23:27.380 from culture.
00:23:29.580 But the vote is downstream
00:23:32.860 from censorship.
00:23:34.880 Now, was this always the case?
00:23:38.120 Has this always been our system?
00:23:39.740 Because I don't think so.
00:23:41.080 It feels like it's something
00:23:42.240 that could evolve because of social media and the media landscape.
00:23:49.120 Where's your playlist taking you?
00:23:52.020 Down the highway?
00:23:53.160 To the mountains?

00:24:17.100 so we talk about this often um let me get my chat back up so marcella i'm going to come to
00:24:28.680 you first on that and i it's i do think it's changed do you think it's changed you know i i
00:24:35.440 think i i respectfully disagree i don't think has i think what has happened is we are we're more
00:24:42.060 knowledgeable we're more informed about what is happening but in the past i think things were a
00:24:49.340 bit similar um it's just that people didn't know weren't not informed they're didn't have the
00:24:56.820 internet didn't have newspapers i mean back in you know back in my day back in john adams day
00:25:03.220 you know so i think in general it has become worse it has progressed i do give you that so
00:25:09.580 yeah owen i think it's gotten i i think the censorship aspect has gotten better certainly
00:25:18.400 since elon took over x and i think more people are getting their news from the internet or social
00:25:27.340 media than they were before in terms of just getting it from legacy sources or newspapers
00:25:32.460 or things like that so i think the censorship was more centralized in the past and it was easier to
00:25:38.820 control i think it's harder to control now but i certainly still think the battle is being fought
00:25:43.380 i think people are still trying to get their you know their message out and stifle the other side
00:25:49.460 and but i think it's to me it's more like they have to fight the other message and maybe try
00:25:56.420 to drown it out rather than being able to just stop people from being able to say what they want
00:26:01.460 to say or express their opinion. And I think a lot of that's also happening with things the
00:26:08.540 Trump administration is doing in terms of working on universities to have more people, less stuff
00:26:16.000 and not censoring Republicans or conservatives and pointing out that they need to be more balanced.
00:26:23.160 And you have a long way to go. But I think in some ways, I think we're moving in the right
00:26:29.800 direction. I think we have to be careful. I think if we're aware that this is potentially what is
00:26:37.640 happening or could happen, really keep your head on a swivel, what's being put in front of you
00:26:43.840 and embrace the nuance and realize that, yeah, people are always trying to assign opinions to
00:26:52.500 you. I think sometimes we can get lazy and be like, oh, okay, I trust that person. I'll just
00:26:59.320 go with that. But I don't know. I think if you just really step back, like I was talking to
00:27:05.900 someone recently who is a devoted Q follower, QAnon. And I don't know much about Q, but he told
00:27:18.160 me, oh, Q gets so many things right and this and that. And I was like, well, honestly, tell me
00:27:24.400 what did q get right like i don't know anything about q and he's like oh a lot of stuff and i'm
00:27:29.900 like okay well like tell me one like i was using scott's persuasion right like okay well if he got
00:27:34.440 a 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
00:27:40.580 know and i said well i just want you to really beware that you've been following this for you
00:27:46.060 know a decade and you're in your mind you're believing that they got so many things right
00:27:53.520 because we're reading and like hearing this narrative that they're feeding you. I don't
00:27:57.300 know if it's every day, but when asked like, well, what's the one major thing or the one
00:28:02.260 thing that stands out and you can't really think of one. That's what I mean. Like you've got to
00:28:07.440 pay attention. Okay. So like, there's a lot of like, um, hyped up podcasts and yes, Candace
00:28:14.600 Owens is one of them. Um, you know, so it's like, all right, well, did any of these things come
00:28:20.820 true you know is that real you know it can fully be entertaining and that's fine but just remember
00:28:26.900 it might be entertaining um maybe that's what's keeping you there is the like the cliffhanger
00:28:33.220 every day and this thing's gonna happen and i hope it's gonna happen so is it the entertainment
00:28:39.380 that's shaping your opinion and the promise of the thing that's gonna happen or are the things
00:28:43.780 really happening and so just be careful of what's being assigned to you and well and and you know
00:28:50.640 when i when i observed what was going on with q um and i think this is important to just think
00:28:58.180 about when you're saying okay who am i going to follow or you know where am i going to spend my
00:29:02.120 time on in terms of media consumption it's like the net message or the net persuasion of where
00:29:09.960 Q was pushing people was complacency and inaction. Because when you looked at what they would say,
00:29:19.160 they'd make a bunch of predictions and they'd say, oh, this is going to happen at this time,
00:29:23.240 or Trump's going to do this, or look at the timestamp of this and how it matches up exactly
00:29:28.520 to that. And it got worse and worse in terms of what it was claiming were predictions.
00:29:33.380 It ended up descending into numerology, and that's when I got really fed up with it. But
00:29:37.420 But as I was thinking about it, what I thought was, well, the main message they're pushing is patriots are in control.
00:29:46.320 They 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.
00:29:53.260 And 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.
00:30:05.000 And obviously, most of that never happened.
00:30:07.420 But I think the net message to the listener was, don't worry about it.
00:30:13.780 We've got this.
00:30:15.520 You don't have to worry about any kind of election fraud.
00:30:17.760 You don't have to worry about voting.
00:30:19.140 You don't have to worry about anything.
00:30:20.640 Just, we got it.
00:30:21.740 We're going to be in control.
00:30:22.920 All the bad guys are about to go to prison.
00:30:24.980 Just wait and see.
00:30:27.160 And so that was the message, was wait.
00:30:30.100 Don't do anything.
00:30:31.320 And I think it was destructive.
00:30:33.880 For sure.
00:30:35.300 Marcella, do you have a Q opinion?
00:30:36.620 i mean my q opinion is very different when i hear the word q i think star trek and that's as much
00:30:44.800 as i know there was q in star trek and there's where i go so there's our trekkie there's the
00:30:51.020 in me so probably a better cue to follow but um yeah i i would just advise people to say like
00:30:59.620 when you're listening to someone take a step back for a minute and just say where is this person
00:31:03.420 leading me like what are they telling me i should do or not do and and what is what opinions are
00:31:10.400 they assigning to me just think about that just just think about like where where does this lead
00:31:14.720 to because some of them might be just trying to create division within the party or trying to
00:31:21.760 rip apart the republicans and it might be a way where you could detect hey wait a second
00:31:25.780 this is just a destructive force there's nothing productive coming out of this there's no good
00:31:31.320 vision behind this. There's no good actions that they're wanting me to take. Whereas if you
00:31:36.560 contrast to someone like Scott Pressler, everything he's trying to get you to do is a good thing. He's
00:31:42.320 like, yeah, let's go out and register voters. Let's go flip this county red. And he's making
00:31:48.100 things happen that are actually making a difference. And there's a lot of voices out
00:31:52.340 there that are not doing any of that. Yeah. And I also would say, I don't think everybody's a fed,
00:31:58.620 you guys um everyone's reaction to people it's like you know i mean maybe some of them are i
00:32:05.440 don't know but not everybody's a fed it's just there's so much uh news and there's so many
00:32:10.900 sources like back in my day you know we had like four news channels and so everybody kind of got
00:32:16.480 their news from one place and there was no competition for the news it was like these
00:32:21.360 are the channels here's where you get your news but now everybody's competing and so the more
00:32:27.240 sensational you are the more eyes you get on you the more money they make so everyone's competing
00:32:33.320 for these dollars right and so i've got to make sure they come back tomorrow i've got to have a
00:32:38.360 cliffhanger i've got to say something crazy so people are like what are they saying over there
00:32:43.480 so if you boil it all down and you're just left with like the salt at the end of the the boil
00:32:49.720 you know what what's really happening and what really came true and who are these people and
00:32:56.280 you know, what is the end game? So it's the same thing when, you know, Scott would tell us like
00:33:00.500 who took the poll, you know, who funded it as the same thing. So take everything with a grain of
00:33:07.020 salt and then understand that some of it, you're maybe consuming for entertainment and maybe some
00:33:13.100 of it, you want to get actual information and you still have to do all the work yourself and like
00:33:19.180 peel away the onion and just say, okay, what are we actually left with? Like what's provable?
00:33:23.900 What has this person said before that actually did make a difference in something that happened?
00:33:29.760 Can I see this person?
00:33:31.880 What's their track record?
00:33:33.300 And unfortunately, if you aren't that aggressive about getting your information, your opinions
00:33:39.380 are going to be assigned to you.
00:33:41.680 So follow me for an opinion because I'll give you a good one.
00:33:44.920 I'm just kidding.
00:33:46.000 See what I did there?
00:33:49.080 But anyway, so just be careful of that.
00:33:52.500 um okay so marcella do you have another story for us yes i do the senate passed the dhs funding but
00:34:01.700 but um they left off ice and um they they only did it a partial funding they left ice and they
00:34:11.380 left uh the border patrol in connection to the actual border um tied to the enforcement of
00:34:18.900 the patrol of operations referred to as border patrol.
00:34:23.280 So it's customs and border protection.
00:34:25.960 So CVP got financed or funded,
00:34:29.940 but the part where it defends our country did not.
00:34:35.300 And this was this morning at two in the morning,
00:34:39.040 East coast time that it passed.
00:34:41.280 And at that time, whoever was present,
00:34:43.700 it didn't indicate who it was unanimous votes
00:34:47.740 by all senators that were there.
00:34:50.140 Um, I, I don't know.
00:34:53.440 Um, this is exactly what the Democrats wanted, um, from the beginning, uh, to
00:35:00.140 do a partial funding of DHS and leave out ice, leave out the border patrol.
00:35:05.760 So it was a win in a way by the Democrats, the Republicans folded.
00:35:12.700 Um, I don't know which ones folded because it doesn't say who was
00:35:16.520 president at two in the morning um but it just seems uh yeah yeah ice is already do you think
00:35:26.340 trump's gonna sign that so the next then then so from here from the senate it goes to congress
00:35:32.960 congress might not agree with that because there's a lot more republicans there that against this uh
00:35:40.440 partial funding um as we would call it because it leaves out uh funding for things that they believe
00:35:49.200 are essential to our um to our protection so i don't see congress passing it or if they do
00:35:58.380 they're gonna take their time nothing happens i mean the last thing trump said about dhs funding
00:36:05.200 was he still wouldn't even sign any of it until we have the save america act but apart from that
00:36:10.440 if if it left out border border protection and ice i i don't i don't see how trump would ever
00:36:17.400 sign that so i don't think it's going anywhere i guess we'll have to wait and see today what
00:36:21.400 we find out so keep an eye out for those uh topics today and again grain of salt it's going to change
00:36:29.400 you know from this morning till this afternoon to tonight so watch watch the story evolve and
00:36:35.080 keep changing. So don't get too dug in on any part of it. You guys, I, I always tell you I'm
00:36:41.040 like the emotional one on the panel here. And, um, I try to tell myself like, all right, don't
00:36:46.120 get emotional because it's going to change. There's nothing I can do about it, but listen
00:36:50.180 here and there, and then we'll, we'll see what happens. There's nothing we can do. Right. So
00:36:55.080 we'll just see what happens. You can vote though. Okay. So interesting. 2 AM. Somebody said in the
00:37:02.120 comments. Who works at 2 a.m.? Are you kidding? These people never work. So 2 a.m.? Good. You
00:37:08.040 should be there every day at 2 a.m. Okay. So what else do we have, Owen? Well, the Iran saga
00:37:14.940 continues. I think there was a container ship that was attacked by Iran, so we still don't have
00:37:19.960 a safe path through the Strait of Hormuz. That actually was misinformation. It was. There was
00:37:27.560 an attack but it was on march 11th that that happened okay well that's good news so sorry
00:37:33.780 about that i saw that on x this morning i saw it too and i was gonna talk about it but i was like
00:37:38.760 oh wait yeah yeah but i i think in terms of stories i did see um you know that there certainly trump
00:37:47.020 put another 10-day extension on the ceasefire but i don't think iran cares about that i think
00:37:53.100 they are still attacking israel um did you think it was odd for that pause that 10-day pause that
00:37:59.860 he gave an actual eastern uh time of when it would end he said monday april 6 8 p.m eastern that was
00:38:07.540 very uh very exact kind of funny i don't know i mean maybe he's just trying to you know make it
00:38:16.100 more like i'm serious in that sense like you know if it's really precise it's like everybody you
00:38:21.500 know you could almost count down with a clock right yeah so um it makes it maybe seem more
00:38:26.980 definite and maybe more just like real and that is prime time on television so
00:38:33.700 yeah but so apparently iran is laying a bunch of traps around karg island worried about a ground
00:38:42.420 attack and there is some indication that there may be a ground attack or at least that we have
00:38:47.360 some we're preparing for some sort of ground troops um because we have i think the latest
00:38:55.040 story i saw was that the pentagon was considering sending 10 000 troops um so that would be more
00:39:00.640 than they have so far but i think they had what was it 2500 marines already on the way and they
00:39:05.440 had another army airborne unit or you know on the way and so it looks like we may be continuing to
00:39:12.720 ramp up our at least our capacity to potentially take some portion of the land i think there's
00:39:19.120 some speculation that they might be trying to take the land right around the strait of hormuz
00:39:25.520 to secure that and then karg island and um i don't know if any of that's a good idea i probably
00:39:31.920 wouldn't want to do that but it could be just part of the faint or part of a threat to say if you
00:39:36.960 don't do this then we're gonna you know we have the firepower we have the manpower we can actually
00:39:42.320 make things happen but um i'm really hoping we don't put boots on the ground so i'm hoping that
00:39:47.000 doesn't happen but it does seem like we're moving in that direction don't you just feel like karg
00:39:51.480 island right now it's just gonna have a bunch of missiles pointing outward i mean it's like hey
00:39:56.900 here we come really slowly we're coming i mean i'm just like they know we're going there
00:40:02.960 yeah i mean i know we we bombed it already we did bomb the actual oil infrastructure but we
00:40:09.220 domed all the military sites so we kind of cleared it out and then now it looks like they're trying
00:40:13.740 to set a bunch of booby traps and things and get it you know so that it's harder to invade so i
00:40:20.420 think they're at least thinking this might be a target but i yeah i i can't imagine i just don't
00:40:26.220 see that as a good military strategy because it's like a static small location it's a like a big
00:40:31.120 target you're painting on your chest saying here hit me and i know we've degraded a lot of their
00:40:37.200 capacity in terms of missiles and various things but we haven't seen if they have some you know
00:40:44.640 remaining capacity or ability to do short-range things like that so whether they're drones or
00:40:50.800 whether they're missiles or whether they're you know shoulder mounted rockets or whatever
00:40:56.000 i i would imagine there may be something that would be hard to control that might get out and
00:41:02.080 i just wouldn't want to have our troops put in harm's way that way where they can't even move
00:41:06.080 around um so i wouldn't want to do that i wouldn't want to be those people but that's maybe that's
00:41:13.840 one of the reasons i'm not a marine yeah those guys are unusually brave and amazing it's funny
00:41:20.560 you say that because jocko uh made a post jocko was a former navy seal and they asked him about
00:41:26.640 boots on the ground and he said um the majority of people are against it he's not you know he's
00:41:32.720 he didn't indicate whether he was for it or against it,
00:41:35.360 but he said all of the army and the Marines and the Navy,
00:41:41.600 they're all for it.
00:41:42.540 All these men are for boots on the ground.
00:41:45.220 And he said that there's this,
00:41:48.120 the other people in the comments said
00:41:49.800 there's like this rivalry between,
00:41:51.780 like a friendly rivalry between army, Marines, Navy.
00:41:55.960 And it's like, if the army gets to do boots on the ground,
00:42:00.580 marines and navy don't or so forth and so on they're gonna be like ah they don't let us do it
00:42:08.160 so it showing that our soldiers our american soldiers are patriots and they want to do whatever
00:42:17.680 they need to do um however you know it's to be determined but um there was an expert dash like
00:42:26.500 war expert that I sometimes listen to and follow. And they were saying that there's
00:42:35.000 different invasion points. There's about four. Karg Island is one of them because it's a very
00:42:42.360 important point where it holds all the oil expert terminal for Iran. So it could cause them not to
00:42:51.460 have any funds not to be able to export or or do any kind of thing like that but there was another
00:42:58.580 island invasion of larrick larrick island uh which controls it's a small island and but it's
00:43:05.700 controls the straight of hormuz then seizing abu musa two smaller islands and blocking uh other
00:43:14.500 parts in the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, the idea is to clear that strait because one, to control it
00:43:26.020 would be to control Iran, but also it would help the economy of the entire world. I know
00:43:32.580 that the Philippines and certain other South Asian countries are in dire straits because
00:43:39.600 they get all their oil from the Strait of Hormuz and I believe the president of the Philippines
00:43:47.020 called out a national emergency the story is that they also are only working four days a week
00:43:55.440 in order to save and they're asked to commute together because the oil is becoming
00:44:02.720 um they don't have it and it's becoming very hard to travel um and and more expensive so
00:44:11.620 it's affecting many many places and so trump uh and the rest of it but it goes back to trump had
00:44:20.700 this cabinet meeting yesterday and during the cabinet meeting um the press is there and one
00:44:26.800 of the british i don't know if it was the bbc um asked president trump about keir starmer the
00:44:33.720 prime minister of the united kingdom and england and he asked him um what his thoughts are on all
00:44:42.240 this and he was saying that um that keir starmer shouldn't have done that uh shouldn't have not
00:44:49.940 helped the u.s and he was he said that person trump said he was surprised that the that england
00:44:56.780 did not help the u.s because they've been you know connected together since the beginning but
00:45:01.980 but at the same time he says he sort of like he won't forget um and it just seems like a lot of
00:45:11.040 different european countries are hesitant to help in the strait of our moose but it was interesting
00:45:16.660 that um the keir starmer and the whole situation because he talked about that's when he went on
00:45:23.600 trump went on and saying that nato not so good because when when they need us we're there but
00:45:32.720 when we need we we didn't need them he said but you know when we have some kind of conflict like
00:45:39.380 this where we would need help more um they denied it so it was like he was kind of hinting at nato
00:45:47.280 going away but getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare
00:45:57.040 stick i like to be prepared that's why i remember 988 canada suicide crisis helpline it's good to
00:46:03.900 know just in case anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder
00:46:09.320 anytime. 988
00:46:11.320 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the
00:46:13.480 government in Canada.
00:46:17.220 Wouldn't be the worst thing. I mean, it's so
00:46:19.240 unbalanced.
00:46:21.000 And I like, what's the other one called?
00:46:23.560 The
00:46:23.780 piece, the one that Trump
00:46:27.300 made with the other nations?
00:46:29.740 Board of Peace.
00:46:31.680 Yeah, I feel like that's
00:46:33.320 a little bit more important these days
00:46:35.540 than NATO. I mean, NATO
00:46:36.940 sucks, you guys.
00:46:38.340 It's a joke. It's more propaganda and money laundering. Wait. Allegedly. And this is my opinion.
00:46:50.960 Either, both, both. But that's just me talking. Okay. So that's a lot of stuff going on. And I
00:46:58.940 think the European leaders are really showing us who they are. And I'm also wondering,
00:47:05.360 like i'm i'm not trying to think like scott trust me because i can't but i'm trying to think like
00:47:11.320 erica and i just wonder if these european leaders are all kind of in a huddle and planning their
00:47:17.080 own thing um and purposely separating and are they making this is radical are they making a deal with
00:47:25.860 china i don't know like what's happening like they're splintering off and they don't have a
00:47:31.660 leg to stand on these countries. Their armies are not equipped. I haven't seen any indication
00:47:38.360 that they're making deals with China. I mean, I may have missed something, but I haven't seen
00:47:41.940 anything along those lines. And I think, if anything, I think this would be a boon for our
00:47:47.320 defense industry, because I think all the indications are that Europe is waking up to the
00:47:52.040 fact that they don't have their own defense capability, and they need to have a defense
00:47:56.380 capability. So they need to raise an army, they need to have weapons, they need to have drone
00:48:00.460 defense they need to have missile capabilities whatever it is and so most of that is probably
00:48:06.680 going to come through some kind of united states defense contractor type of company because they
00:48:11.720 don't have that capability but i think they are moving in that direction domestically i think i
00:48:16.120 heard that there was a volkswagen plant that was going to go into drone defense they were going to
00:48:21.700 stop making cars and start making drone defense or some kind of missiles or something it was some
00:48:25.620 kind of defense thing and so i think they are starting to say maybe we can start building our
00:48:30.140 own weapons and they should they have certain technologies there's a difference um ability at
00:48:36.040 this point there's a difference between mainline europe and the uk or england so mainline europe
00:48:43.600 is going in the direction and in what i believe my opinion the right direction in progressing
00:48:51.100 towards the trump side of things yesterday the the european union passed a law allowing european
00:48:59.140 countries to be able to deport asylum seekers that they don't want in their country, which
00:49:06.020 they were not allowed to do different. And they have also, France has also supported the situation
00:49:14.860 in the Strait of Hormuz and all sorts of things. So they are aware that Russia is an enemy of theirs.
00:49:22.920 And the only thing that stops that is the United States. They're also aware that now they're aware
00:49:28.760 that iran can hit them uh because of that intercontinental missile or you know or that
00:49:36.000 missile that they have that goes far that go very far and can hit their nations so that's my thoughts
00:49:45.680 it's moving a lot of also a lot of independent countries like germany are becoming more
00:49:51.740 conservative and are voting for more conservative things it is not just the old guard it's the youth
00:49:58.740 gen C that's voting more conservative I think we should keep our eye on that and
00:50:06.960 if there's anyone that likes to do not that deep of a dive but do a little
00:50:12.180 deep diving over the weekend let us know like what do you see the European
00:50:17.940 countries doing like what do you do you somebody said that there was some
00:50:22.980 agreements and deals being put in I just wonder because they're they're pretty
00:50:27.600 cocky for people that can't stand on their own um and they're pretty cocky toward our country not i'm
00:50:34.080 you know yes like we are this the the most powerful country blah blah blah not diminishing us but
00:50:41.280 they're pretty cocky toward the us who they always needed so i just feel like you know is it like a
00:50:48.320 bluff they're calling or do they have a backup plan because i just don't see these small army
00:50:56.800 countries crapping on the country they need for their safety, perhaps unless they have something
00:51:05.680 in the works like that's going to help them. That's just how I'm observing it. It's pretty
00:51:10.440 ballsy. I mean, I think there have been some polls saying that they would have a real hard time if
00:51:15.160 they had a draft in Europe and most of those countries that not very many people would want
00:51:19.460 to serve. No. All right. So let's keep our eye on it. And if anyone knows anything,
00:51:25.720 you know, message us, DM us, put it on X and tag us. I'm just curious. I'm just, you know,
00:51:35.580 very suspicious about certain things, but we'll see how it goes. Okay. What else do we,
00:51:40.000 oh, we have 10 minutes, you guys. What else do we want to make sure we talk about before we
00:51:44.360 leave for the weekend? Well, there's some good news on the economy. There's record low jobless
00:51:48.600 claims. It was flat at $210,000, which is near 1969 lows. So that's a long time ago we were this low.
00:52:00.880 I think the continuing claims are lowest since May of 2024. So it's gone down the last couple
00:52:07.220 years. But it seems like the sentiment is that it's a bifurcated market, meaning that the jobs
00:52:12.660 are kind of hard to get, but there's no surge in joblessness. So they're calling it the no hire,
00:52:18.100 no fire economy um so can we believe that number i think it's harder to tell anymore with everything
00:52:27.380 with absolutely not absolutely not but i think you know it is indicative of maybe some things but i
00:52:34.900 think certainly like there's lots of people out of the workforce that well also the gig industries
00:52:41.460 yeah and and i think they don't necessarily count like part-time jobs the way they need to to make
00:52:48.860 it i don't even know how you would do that really it could make it one number yeah but um and you
00:52:54.300 know certainly there's different qualities of jobs you know there's the baristas and minimum wage
00:52:59.200 fast food workers and then there's professional jobs and white collar jobs blue collar jobs and
00:53:04.420 so you know i don't think it gives you any indication of that but there are other numbers
00:53:08.080 for that like the wage increases and things like that and I think to me at least there is some good
00:53:13.800 indicators there that we are holding on to at least what we had in terms of employment that
00:53:19.420 we're not seeing huge layoff numbers in you know in excess of what we would expect I mean I know
00:53:26.780 there's been a lot of headlines with tech companies laying people off but I think really historically
00:53:31.220 it's not any larger than we've seen in the past so at least right now we're holding on to it if
00:53:36.160 it starts to deteriorate, then we might have a bad problem ahead of us. But right now, it seems
00:53:41.920 like we're kind of at least treading water in terms of people keeping their jobs. And I've
00:53:48.740 mentioned before that another breakdown of that shows that in the past, Native-born Americans
00:53:54.520 were actually losing jobs. I think it was when Trump took over that there were actually less
00:53:59.800 jobs in like 2024 for native-born Americans than there were in 2018. So for like six years it was
00:54:06.660 going down and all the jobs were going to immigrants. So you don't mean native Americans,
00:54:12.880 you mean actual Americans. So the way they break it down is native-born Americans and immigrants.
00:54:19.360 They don't break down illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. They just break it down as,
00:54:24.620 you know, are you someone who was born here or not? And so it's not necessarily the ideal
00:54:31.560 way of breaking down, but that's what the economic agency does. So, but that reversed
00:54:37.340 under Trump, that the numbers now have started going up for native born Americans and down for
00:54:42.940 immigrants, obviously, because we've deported so many of them. We've deported like 2 million of
00:54:46.460 them. So all those jobs went away. And so I think we are moving in the right direction in some ways
00:54:53.040 and more native-born Americans are getting jobs
00:54:55.300 and less immigrants are getting jobs.
00:54:56.780 And I think that's the right trend.
00:54:58.500 So even if we are just treading water underneath that,
00:55:01.860 you might actually see that it's moving
00:55:03.460 in a positive direction.
00:55:05.580 The other good news too is who's in charge of this now?
00:55:11.540 I forget who we moved in to the thing that's,
00:55:14.340 I want to say thanks to Nick Shirley,
00:55:17.000 kicking out the fraudsters with these.
00:55:21.120 Vance is in charge of it.
00:55:23.040 So does anyone remember the stats on that?
00:55:27.960 Like they closed down to the tune of millions and millions and millions of dollars, these fraudulent daycare and hospice places.
00:55:39.020 I know they've been making progress on that.
00:55:41.100 RFK Jr. came out talking about it, how a bunch of those hospices seem to be run by Russian mobsters.
00:55:46.600 But I don't remember exactly how many millions they've done.
00:55:49.320 but I think it was many millions that they've shut down in those fraudulent hospice cares in
00:55:56.140 California. And I think they are planning to expand that to Maine and New York and other
00:56:00.880 places. I know they're also looking into a lot of stuff going on in Florida. So it's not all just
00:56:06.360 blue states, but they are really going after it. So I'm hoping it'll result in a lot less fraud
00:56:13.240 going forward i hope the the money comes back to the taxpayers somehow like it actually
00:56:19.440 gets like i hope that the not that we're going to get the money back i mean i don't know if we will
00:56:24.920 i feel like those kinds of good things never happen but you know i hope that the money that
00:56:30.460 was spent on fraud or wasted on fraud will now come back to help our local communities and our
00:56:37.440 states it would be really nice for a change as every time i hit potholes everywhere and another
00:56:43.220 Their feel-good story is there's an ICE agent that saved a baby's life in the TSA line at JFK Airport.
00:56:48.820 He performed the Heimlich maneuver on him and did CPR.
00:56:52.780 I think it was the Heimlich maneuver mostly, but it restored his breathing.
00:56:56.100 So ICE, ICE baby.
00:56:58.000 Yes.
00:56:59.180 He put the ICE in NICE.
00:57:02.560 Marcella, do you have a closing something for us?
00:57:05.820 So NASA is sending astronauts to the moon, which it hasn't done since 1972.
00:57:13.220 Um, yeah, or forever, ever.
00:57:17.880 Well, 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.
00:57:38.540 This 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.
00:58:06.560 but now i i don't know about the first time did anyone happen to watch that y files episode we
00:58:14.120 were talking about last week um with the the person who had the alien encounter you guys i'm
00:58:20.400 so bad with names but you know what i'm talking about the y files podcast i know i linked it
00:58:24.680 it was pretty amazing so if that guy's right and i want to save owen's right i don't know why
00:58:33.980 there's a whole city on the dark side of the moon it's the documentary effect i'm just reporting
00:58:41.120 the documentary i don't think i have any opinion on how true it is but it was an interesting story
00:58:46.600 it was very fascinating yeah so it's called the y files w-h-y the y files someone's asking in the
00:58:53.720 chat so look it up on youtube the y files and it was one of his it's called uh like the basement
00:58:59.000 he does like a segment called the basement where he's like interviewing people in his studio that
00:59:03.380 calls the basement and look for, um, it's like a UAP type of story, like a UFO type of story.
00:59:11.440 Um, but, and I also recommend, unless you like really long, like dragged out, listen to it
00:59:18.540 plain. I listened to it at like 1.5 or 1.75. And it was like a perfect speed for me. Fascinating
00:59:24.920 story. If true, I just want to say, so listen, here we are. We have two minutes to, um, the end
