00:01:29.820 They re-branded it to Farmer Workers.

00:01:33.340 Huh?

00:01:33.960 Aren't they trying to steal the farmer's land?

00:01:37.260 Like all over

00:01:38.240 the world, that seems to be the trend from these

00:01:40.100 leftist governments. They want to 0.74

00:01:42.200 seize farmland. It's happening in England.

00:01:44.140 It happened in the Netherlands. I'm assuming

00:01:46.040 it happened in California as well.

00:01:47.460 but we're not there yet no it is it's a long-standing leftist tradition as i'm sure

00:02:08.000 experience of course but i do it also somebody asked about this i do it also because it gives

00:02:14.400 time for people to stream in

00:02:16.580 before I get

00:02:18.620 into the serious content, so

00:02:20.560 I don't have to repeat myself.

00:02:23.160 And so,

00:02:26.680 it's time for the simultaneous sip

00:02:28.540 and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or

00:02:30.460 chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:02:32.760 a vessel of any kind.

00:02:34.660 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:02:37.300 And join me now

00:02:38.080 for the unparalleled pleasure

00:02:40.520 of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes

00:02:42.700 everything better.

00:02:44.400 The Simultaneous Sip.

00:02:47.040 Go.

00:02:51.400 Ah.

00:02:54.860 To whoever said first time to come on time for the Simultaneous Sip,

00:03:00.080 well, now you know the pleasure.

00:03:03.360 Oh, yeah.

00:03:04.380 That's good.

00:03:07.820 It's good, all right.

00:03:09.820 It is.

00:03:10.640 I needed that.

00:03:11.340 I pity the people who always resisted and never took part.

00:03:15.800 Right?

00:03:17.080 Oh, those poor people.

00:03:18.540 Owen, at least you got there finally.

00:03:20.740 I did.

00:03:21.760 So Owen's referring to he resisted the simultaneous sip because he was like,

00:03:26.440 Scott's trying to hypnotize me and you will not win.

00:03:29.720 What happened, Owen?

00:03:30.860 What happened?

00:03:31.800 It was a beautiful experience and I regretted it, ever resisting it.

00:03:37.120 I know Scott has talked about how even when you know someone's hypnotizing you or persuading you

00:03:44.920 that it still works, and it did. He got me there. I think it is what he just said, really, which is

00:03:51.540 it's partly building community and bonding and things like that. I think he did a great job with

00:03:57.900 that. I agree. Welcome to the Scott Adams School. My name is Erica. As I said, BJ is joining us

00:04:05.440 again our canadian news reporter honking for freedom so bj love there's his book

00:04:14.620 you know scott was not was not ashamed of shameless plugs so no you shouldn't you should

00:04:21.000 show that you should honkingforfreedom.com y'all um so bj was complimenting the show yesterday and

00:04:30.420 did get a lot of feedback everybody loved that lesson scott gave um so if you did see it we had

00:04:37.300 a discussion after and that's where marcella told us that words are spells which we all loved so you

00:04:44.580 have to be careful of the words you use choose listen to adopt um but bj wanted to make some

00:04:53.220 comments about it bj so please you know let us know your thoughts on that yeah oh also something

00:04:58.580 else i forgot to tell you erica a couple of days ago you talked about brain worms and little jingles

00:05:03.860 and the one you said was cars for kids i think is the one that gets in your mind

00:05:08.820 one of my very big followers and supporters worked very high up in cars for kids and started watching

00:05:14.820 you guys because of me and they were apparently all jumping in the office and oh my god they

00:05:19.140 mentioned us it was so good hey cars for kids your jingle work that is for sure um yeah so i think

00:05:27.060 yesterday your show really turned the corner and worked extremely well I think it was extremely

00:05:33.240 helpful because one of the things that we often didn't get with Scott was immediate feedback from

00:05:38.280 people like yeah you could see in the comments and stuff but it was just fascinating to see him

00:05:42.900 give a lesson that was I think 12 minutes long and then you all took something away from them

00:05:47.860 and the one I loved the best was Marcella which was who doesn't know this which is how I feel too

00:05:52.840 but there are people who don't. And it was just interesting to see how you guys pulled something

00:05:58.980 away from it. And it's interesting, when I was watching it, it was so many of the things that

00:06:05.140 you learn in hypnosis, he frequently covered and he put them into lessons. This was Scott Adams'

00:06:12.520 big innovation in the field of communication and hypnosis, was his ability to package.

00:06:18.880 He was brilliant at packaging things that we have known in hypnosis for many, many years, but the way he simplified it, for everybody to understand, is unsurpassed.

00:06:30.560 You know, he talked about the fear of rejection, and you learn in hypnosis that those are people who are suffering from anxiety.

00:06:38.400 Why? Because they're living in the future.

00:06:40.220 They're always living in future outcomes, right?

00:06:43.060 And there are techniques to fix that.

00:06:45.020 You know, how does hypnosis fix people that are dealing with living in the future?

00:06:50.300 Well, there's an exercise you do when you put somebody in trance where you replay it forward and reverse, and you increase the speed at which you do it, and it just breaks through to the subconscious, through the critical faculty, and then people just overcome it.

00:07:07.300 I don't want to get into too much, but that's the basic part of it.

00:07:10.660 And this is also, you know, the things that you were referring, he was referring to in the lesson that you guys talked about, which was word poisoning, positive state. I try never to use the word hate. Tony Robbins talked a lot about this 20 years ago. If you start with, oh, I hate doing this, as opposed to this is going to be amazing.

00:07:31.780 it completely changes your emotional state and allows you to overcome challenges way easier.

00:07:39.680 And then the last thing that was covered there that you guys discussed, that you just mentioned

00:07:43.040 here, were the five why strategy, five to seven why strategy. And I think that's important because

00:07:49.860 that teaches, it forces people into starting to recognize observing ego. In psychology,

00:07:57.760 they call it disassociation. And that's often what mentally ill people suffer from. 0.78

00:08:03.380 But there's a very, and psychopaths disassociate themselves. But it can be a very big tool for

00:08:08.320 those of us who want to do self-analysis. It's what you learn in hypnosis, how to disassociate

00:08:13.140 yourself from the situation. And you do that by asking why, why, why, why, why to get away from

00:08:18.460 your emotions and just get into the raw data or the raw scenario of what you're experiencing.

00:08:24.520 So I thought it was amazing. And kudos to all of you for giving some very insightful follow-ups to Scott's lesson. And I hope you do more of that.

00:08:34.120 Thank you. That's really nice. We did get a lot of great feedback yesterday. A lot of people said they took notes, they're going to rewatch it, they're going to use this, they really needed it.

00:08:44.480 And I just feel like the right lessons always show up at the right time.

00:08:49.800 And, you know, Owen, you were saying this morning that you hope people really try the five whys, right?

00:08:57.600 Yeah, I call it the five, six, seven method.

00:08:59.700 But yeah, going deep into it and keep questioning it and getting deeper and really understanding why you're doing something, why it's important to you.

00:09:07.280 and it gets you a much deeper emotional connection and goes into what you're really after, what your

00:09:13.840 values are. And I think in many cases, it does create a source of motivation that you might

00:09:20.260 have not been able to access any other way. And Marcella, what was your feedback like yesterday?

00:09:27.060 Oh, it was great. The feedback that I got. Yeah. Some people were, you know, they always have

00:09:35.560 their they have their issues with with my abuse but either way I think everybody

00:09:44.460 if they need that you know we can always bring those lessons to them so thank you Erica for

00:09:50.820 bringing that up oh yeah you know what I've oh go ahead BJ yeah I just want to tack on to Marcella

00:09:57.040 I think you know when I loved what Marcella basically said who doesn't know this and I

00:10:02.240 think there's a reason for that. And this is my experience spending a lot of time living in Latin

00:10:07.520 America, that those sorts of lessons, they teach you street smarts and the lessons of living what

00:10:15.700 Marcella experienced when she was younger, civil war, narco-traficantes, paramilitaries,

00:10:21.740 you know, Colombia is the same way. And we in the West, because it's been so peaceful here,

00:10:27.000 we're extremely gullible. We really are. And I think it's the ability of people who grew up in

00:10:33.180 Latin America under strife. They're not nearly as gullible as the rest of us. And I think that's

00:10:37.180 why they just have a natural understanding of these things as opposed to we struggle a little

00:10:42.200 bit of it in the West. At least that's just my perspective. Yeah. But also I think there's a

00:10:45.960 natural, I think it's wired into us that it takes a lot of energy to analyze, you know, where is

00:10:54.540 is coming from? Why am I doing this thing that's not productive for me? You have to trace it all

00:11:01.380 back and break it all down and really think about it. And I think we spend most of our time in the

00:11:08.940 habits, just repeating loops of whatever we've formed as habits. And there's good habits and

00:11:15.160 bad habits. But most of the time, I think it's kind of like a biological efficiency thing. It's

00:11:21.220 like, well, you don't have enough energy in your brain to just be going back to first principles

00:11:26.420 all the time and, and figuring out why it is. So it's almost more like you need to decide, okay,

00:11:31.760 when is it worth it to get under the hood and figure out what's going on here and make a change

00:11:37.660 and then try and rewire your brain or, you know, form a new habit. And then once you have that

00:11:44.100 habit formed, you can go back to that sort of automatic mode of saying, I'm just going to do

00:11:48.640 that every day. And once I've done it for a month or two, it's just going to be a habit. And it may

00:11:54.380 be hard in the first week, you know, if you're trying to like lose weight or exercise or do

00:11:59.300 whatever, but once you get in the routine of it and it becomes just part of your day, then it

00:12:04.680 becomes part of who you are. And then it, you know, it's kind of like riding a bike. It's like

00:12:08.740 when you first ride a bike, it's really hard to learn, but once you've got it, you don't even

00:12:11.900 think about it anymore. Right. And I think it's the same thing. I think it's, you're mostly living

00:12:16.420 in your habits and you don't necessarily really think about where did those habits come from

00:12:21.500 or do I even want that habit well yeah no I totally agree with that and it it you know it

00:12:29.480 takes no time for some reason to build a bad habit and a lot of it's learned behavior maybe

00:12:34.900 it's your friends or your family or whatever so like you know Marcella was saying like you know

00:12:39.680 her family, you know, like her culture, her family, it was like, we just don't do this.

00:12:47.220 Like I, she didn't, she didn't say, she didn't say who doesn't know this. She said, I never

00:12:51.660 needed to have to learn this. Like it was already within me. Um, luckily because of the way she was 0.94

00:12:58.000 raised. Um, but what I love, uh, is I think that Owen and Marcella and myself, we are three very

00:13:06.580 different people with different upbringings and different cultural backgrounds, and that we all

00:13:12.700 can bring something different to the same lesson Scott taught us. And that if you guys could find

00:13:20.480 a little something in our responses also that maybe helps you, that's perfect. And so maybe

00:13:27.160 it's like a little something Marcella said with the emotion of Owen and then the sassy chick over

00:13:33.200 here, you know, waving my hand around like a lunatic, you know, maybe there's a little something

00:13:38.040 in all of us or one person's resonating with you and that's perfect. And then, you know,

00:13:43.280 that's why I was saying too, like you just have to, you really have to practice choosing the right

00:13:49.120 words, deciding to have better self-talk because once you realize like how much meaning words have,

00:13:57.660 like I always say, you know, don't say I'm going to try to do something, then you're allowing

00:14:01.220 yourself to fail. Just say, I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it until it's done or until

00:14:06.720 it's right or whatever. Cause if you say, I'm going to try, then you're like, and if it doesn't

00:14:10.860 work, it doesn't work. I tried. No, no, just get it, get her done. Um, so I, I like that we recap

00:14:17.900 that we are going to do more of that moving forward. You guys, I have a bunch of clips and

00:14:22.340 lessons from scott and um you know more scott more better but i do want to move over to a couple of

00:14:31.480 fun little things so one i don't know what happens if i click this but congratulations

00:14:36.580 there we go so now the west palm beach airport is going to be renamed to the president donald

00:14:44.160 trump airport ron desantis just signed that signed that in so listen another place where

00:14:50.740 his name is going this makes him happy we like a happy president um any comments on that yes

00:14:57.780 yeah just just a little context because my parents live very close to there and i spent a lot of time

00:15:02.460 i was there for the past two weeks um the thing that's hysterical about that is this has been an

00:15:07.420 ongoing feud between trump and like the local town council everyone hates the town council but you

00:15:14.300 know they're basically a bunch of commies and so they've been going back and forth for years they

00:15:19.280 would deny him the helipad couldn't fly his plane in like whatever they can come up to make trump's

00:15:24.080 life miserable they would do it and this is another example they put on twitter of revenge

00:15:29.560 is a dish best served cold it's brilliant yeah now now look what you got you could have gave

00:15:34.560 him the helipad but now you got the whole freaking airport there you go people i'm looking forward to

00:15:39.240 watching people going through that airport just yeah they're gonna go around they're gonna like

00:15:44.100 fly to Fort Lauderdale and take the extra drive. Yeah. He needs more airport names after him.

00:15:51.360 And airlines. I agree, Marcella. Okay. The other story that Owen posted, I hope that came down.

00:16:00.280 Okay. The other story Owen posted today that just had me giggling immediately because I love

00:16:06.360 bringing it up. The outrage over the ballroom, we were talking about it yesterday. So let's go

00:16:13.240 through this quickly, Owen, but I want to pose. So Caroline Levitt first posted this and Owen,

00:16:19.820 why don't you quickly read it for us? Sure. So the New York Times apparently had some people that

00:16:26.940 quote, studied fine arts. Maybe I'll just read it. The New York Times had three random people who

00:16:31.200 have studied fine arts, long written about urban planning and never built anything to write an

00:16:35.860 article criticizing the new White House ballroom. President Trump and his lead architect have built

00:16:39.940 world-class buildings around the world. And they're ensuring that people's house finally

00:16:43.820 has a beautiful ballroom that's been needed for decades at no expense to the taxpayer.

00:16:48.920 And then of course this sparked, you know, outrage, right? So here's, here's the outrage

00:16:55.020 over the ballroom. I wish I could make this bigger. I don't, you never know with Rumble,

00:16:58.740 but anyway, I'm going to look at it. So I don't know if you guys can see it, but they were like,

00:17:03.120 you know it's too tall the columns get in the way of the view the path looks bumpy this stair the

00:17:10.960 little stairs go over here to the entrance but then they have grand staircase that doesn't even

00:17:15.920 go to the door you know whatever you could complain about right and then it looks to me

00:17:21.480 like a fifth grader did this for one thing and it's just ridiculous the criticisms they have of

00:17:26.680 this um oh it's very tall uh-oh like it's not a tall ballroom what exactly is the issue with that 0.77

00:17:35.400 and uh you know i don't know i just all of it's ridiculous but you know owen you know what that

00:17:41.240 is that's called the fake because trying to persuade in the opposite direction

00:17:44.920 so that was that was that one then we have here this is my favorite one

00:17:52.040 yeah that's the parody version when you you have a top naval architect who does the same thing with

00:18:00.360 criticizing an aircraft carrier and you can see bottom of the boat gets wet there's not enough

00:18:07.420 parking what does it say yeah for everybody listening because i do listen to you guys as

00:18:12.880 opposed to watch um and it's important to understand the meme is basically echoing that

00:18:18.180 with an aircraft carrier with these very unprofessional lines pointing out to parts of

00:18:23.320 the aircraft carrier oh my god why is it so tall oh my god why does it have so many planes or

00:18:28.240 whatever else right it's just ridiculous i love it so much and then of course oh and my favorite

00:18:35.180 is my favorite is the railing blocks the ocean view the ship railing blocks the ocean view oh

00:18:42.460 no and then of course then we have one of our favorites of always oh just to show you how tall

00:18:51.180 the ballroom is it's very very tall showing a picture of a guy it's barren it's barren who's 0.98

00:18:58.140 absurdly tall and he's taller than the ballroom yeah bless yeah i love i love the outrage it's

00:19:06.220 so fun. Fake Biden is taller than the ballroom. Oh yeah. Fake Biden was amazing. And then last

00:19:12.960 on the fun Trump hysteria. Um, I hope this works. So there's also the release of the Trump library,

00:19:21.940 the AI, uh, depiction of what it's going to be. And all I want to tell you guys is that it is

00:19:27.800 also very tall oh there we go it's showing the video of the trump library there was a very tall

00:19:38.060 trump library and baron is up to the sphere on top he's taller i love it perfect so good i think

00:19:51.500 that was from politarican meme maker on x so that was all the fun i wanted to share but good good

00:20:00.260 times whoo okay so marcella i am um i'm gonna toss to a news story to you first if you don't mind

00:20:08.680 and um we'll take it from there okay thanks so keeping the theme of trump trump comes to the

00:20:15.560 rescue for TSA. He yesterday he created or wrote an emergency

00:20:25.280 action, emergency order to pay the TSA officers. Basically, he

00:20:31.340 declared a national emergency to pay them. And they will be

00:20:36.420 getting their first paychecks in a few weeks. So basically, he

00:20:41.300 rescued them. So how, what, what was happening is that DHS was funded, partially funded in the

00:20:51.000 Senate, but then for whatever reason, they ended up taking out the ICE funding and the Border

00:20:58.260 Patrol funding in order for the Dems to vote for that. Then it went to Congress. Congress didn't

00:21:04.060 want to vote on it because they disagreed with the Border Patrol being excluded from the funding.

00:21:10.540 and ice so basically it was a standstill uh the however you would call it but um trump always

00:21:18.160 comes to the rescue he also was the one to bring ice to the airports to do tsa's job while they

00:21:27.300 were some of them weren't there but you know i was thinking yes that everything so today i was like

00:21:38.320 nothing is organic so yesterday we talked about no kings protest and how like they all came out

00:21:44.940 3 000 events and none of that was organic all of it was paid for you know your sorrows your

00:21:50.840 blah blah blah there's so many different evil people anyways um when it comes to tsa officers

00:21:58.780 or TSA people that weren't on the job, I wonder if some of them were, you know, pushed to not go

00:22:08.360 to work, you know, and stay away from work. So it created this chaos. So that's just my conspiracy

00:22:15.400 theory of the day. I thought that it didn't seem organic. I kind of thought that too. Um, because

00:22:21.980 Trump, you know, funding it now, like giving, you know, their paychecks has to piss off the 0.96

00:22:28.860 Democrats because they're so sick, like that. They're like, oh, let's just screw up air travel 0.95

00:22:34.680 for everybody, you know, have people not have jobs. And then, you know, Trump funding it is

00:22:39.740 like, no way, like it's backfiring. So I agree. And that list of people, um, paying for those,

00:22:47.600 that protest was so sick. It was like over 500 organizations paying for it. So none of that's

00:22:55.740 organic people. So you see those crowds and you're like, wow, no, it's all paid for. Oh my God. I'm

00:23:02.300 going to pull for tomorrow. I think, um, the clip of this woman talking to the people at the protest

00:23:09.160 in Minnesota, telling them you just need to be, what does she call them? You just need to be like

00:23:16.580 a folding chair. She's like, oh, we need mules. She's like, we already have the brilliant people

00:23:22.260 putting together these protests. We just need mules and we need you to be the mules. We need

00:23:28.000 you to be the people that are like, here's some donuts for like the people that are putting this

00:23:32.060 together. Here, we'll do the folding chairs here. You know, I'm like, oh my God, like you are

00:23:37.160 literally telling people like, I just need you to be an NPC mule. So, you know, it's all very

00:23:44.380 well funded and corrupt. It's really sad because it's affecting people's lives in the worst way

00:23:49.220 possible. So, so the, so just to clarify the, the executive order signed by Trump yesterday also

00:23:56.320 added one, 1.2 billion for emergency funds that are going to be used for security operation,

00:24:02.460 not just TSA. And it's going to help in other operations, not just the, the TSA service people

00:24:13.320 or officers so good it's good that is good all right owen i'm gonna toss to you yeah well speaking

00:24:21.260 of conspiracy theories there's been a plot twist in the tyler robinson case with charlie kirk that

00:24:26.760 apparently the uh bullet the atf is unable to match it to the rifle that the assassin used

00:24:35.780 allegedly um and i think it's probably they're probably stretching on this um in terms of

00:24:45.220 claiming that all this means he wasn't the killer um i think it i think it i think it's common that

00:24:52.040 that can happen like that you can't necessarily always ballistically match a bullet to a rifle

00:24:57.440 it's not like every time they can always do it and this time they can't so it's clearly from

00:25:01.200 another rifle i think it's you know bullets when they go into a body usually fragmented to a bunch

00:25:06.540 of pieces and there isn't necessarily something you can do to really definitively say this bullet

00:25:12.340 came from this rifle well i think um so they're gonna say what it wasn't a 30-06 well i think it

00:25:18.980 probably was the right caliber i don't i don't think that detail was in the story in terms of

00:25:22.800 whether it was a different caliber that would certainly be a problem for the prosecution if

00:25:28.520 it was like a nine millimeter you know and then it wasn't a 30 out six but i don't think anyone's

00:25:32.980 alleging that at this point i think it's just that they can't necessarily definitively say

00:25:37.680 you know this bullet came from that rifle wasn't there something etched on it though owen

00:25:42.720 well that i think there was something etched on the casing oh the casing okay gotcha yeah

00:25:48.520 but that would have been left over on the roof and you know that would at least probably show that

00:25:52.860 a bullet was fired. Right. Um, but it wouldn't necessarily, um, you know, match it to that

00:25:59.480 bullet. And, and, um, you know, I think we've had too many of these CSI shows and things where

00:26:05.260 people do these things that aren't real in their analysis. Like, you know, they'll say, Oh, I got

00:26:11.360 this matched up to that. Or I, I was able to definitively prove that this is that, or, you

00:26:16.220 know, do this DNA analysis in five seconds or whatever it is. Um, and people have come to

00:26:21.520 expect that that's reality when in many cases I don't think that is what they what police can do

00:26:27.800 so I do think it's a little bit of a stretch to say this is a real like smoking gun but I think

00:26:33.920 that's what's going around x right now and um there's certainly a lot of stories being written

00:26:38.360 about it and the defense will probably try and do something with it but I think um chances are

00:26:43.880 it's probably not it really doesn't mean anything and I think there's plenty of other evidence that

00:26:48.060 would point to that person being the killer yeah i mean he was on the roof with a gun um or was he

00:26:56.420 i don't know can i just weigh in on this a little bit as the sometimes foreigner um i think this is

00:27:04.940 very concerning this is persuasion in action um so we've forgotten the ability to understand that

00:27:12.940 certain things are just inconclusive the evidence can't point in either direction and i think this

00:27:17.700 might be another indication of that and i think the reason that's so concerning for me and again

00:27:23.660 this is the persuasion sort of hypnotist filter is people once they get some sense of doubt there's

00:27:32.400 this the process of how the human operating system works if we don't know with absolute certainty

00:27:38.380 we naturally gravitate to the most irrational and extreme possibility you know oh i don't know what

00:27:46.260 that light in the sky is therefore it might be must be aliens from another galaxy sort of thing

00:27:51.340 and i think this is what people who have nefarious intent for the united states who know this this

00:27:57.360 field very well this is exactly what they're trying to do they're trying to get people to

00:28:02.280 once again it's the yuri bezmanov strategy of get people to be demoralized get people to question

00:28:09.200 absolutely everything and then they cannot process actual reality which is right in front of their

00:28:15.120 face the slightest little question gets them to go off the rails and okay it must be aliens i think

00:28:21.880 this is just it's ballistics is an engineering science that like all like like many engineering

00:28:28.900 sciences sometimes when there's a lack of precision you've got to be able to admit that

00:28:34.440 okay this is inconclusive and you see this in murder trials in dna as well sometimes it's

00:28:39.600 inconclusive, because it's only mitochondria DNA that's available. I think that's all this is. But

00:28:45.420 that's just my two cents, my two cents. I mean, Scott has talked about this in some aspects of

00:28:50.540 saying maybe the opposite part of this is something being too on the nose. If everything

00:28:54.900 lines up perfectly, it might be a good reason to be skeptical to say, wait a second, life isn't

00:28:59.420 really like that. And, you know, I certainly remember a lot of these earlier conspiracy

00:29:06.140 theories about tyler robinson and like oh look at what you know he didn't have the rifle when he

00:29:10.680 jumped off the roof or it would have acted somehow differently and i i think you know and they were

00:29:16.160 making these big deals out of a particular frame where it's like oh his bodyguard did it look he

00:29:20.420 moved his arm this way therefore he shot him and and you know they're connecting all these dots

00:29:27.440 in these extreme ways like you said but um i think i agree that it comes back to that

00:29:33.500 human nature aspect that we don't like uncertainty we don't like something to be unexplained we don't

00:29:39.740 like it when all the facts don't match up exactly as we expect um it makes us uncomfortable we don't

00:29:45.080 want to be there so we find another way to say well what is a theory that would explain everything

00:29:50.160 or what is a way that it would you know have all the facts in a in a nice straight line even though

00:29:58.620 life isn't like that um just because it makes us feel better it makes us feel more comfortable or

00:30:03.700 you know allows us to say okay now it's all explained um even if it is kind of a ridiculous

00:30:08.800 explanation chasing confirmation bias so then it's it so oh and i'm confused i'm not even looking for

00:30:16.780 like what your opinion is on this so that could go either way so if cash patel was like hey we

00:30:23.480 got the guys buttoned up here's the gun da da da da da da so then some people are like okay good

00:30:27.920 whoo glad that's taken care of but then there's other people that are like i grew up questioning

00:30:33.680 every single thing that came in front of my face so then there's people questioning it like well

00:30:40.660 that got buttoned up fast but what about this and what about that and so i have no issue with

00:30:47.260 anyone questioning anything about anything ask questions i tell you guys this all the time too

00:30:54.060 Scott would tell you too. And Owen just told us yesterday, peel it back, the five, six, seven

00:31:00.060 whys. Keep asking questions until you personally are satisfied. You don't have to take anyone's

00:31:06.320 answer for anything. So I just say peel it back. If you feel uncomfortable and your gut is saying

00:31:13.640 something, then go ahead. I'm all for asking questions and examining things and trying to

00:31:19.620 make sense of the world, you know, with that analysis. But I guess what I would challenge

00:31:24.700 people to do is to say, number one, don't go into it with some bias. Like you think you know the

00:31:29.000 answer and you're just going to line up all the facts to match that. And because you can probably

00:31:33.100 convince yourself of anything if you really want to. And, you know, you'll come up with a theory

00:31:39.220 that makes it work. But I think, you know, the other part is, you know, it just, if you, and

00:31:48.060 Scott said this part as well, that when you see something where someone's making a case for a

00:31:53.500 particular theory, go look up the debunk. Go look up the other side. And for these controversial

00:31:59.060 things like this, they're always out there. Someone will say, oh, it's definitely not Tyler

00:32:03.280 Robinson. And here's all the facts. And then you'll have someone else who deconstructs that

00:32:07.540 video and explains why none of that makes sense at all. What about the guy that tried to kill

00:32:12.440 Trump. There's nothing about him, yet there are people that dug in and they found a ton out about

00:32:18.860 this guy. Well, I'm not saying that there aren't gaps in a lot of these things. And I do think in

00:32:26.160 some of these cases, it seems like they wrapped up the case without doing enough digging. And

00:32:33.860 there certainly are mysteries about the Butler, Pennsylvania thing and that, you know, why wasn't

00:32:38.360 there even silverware in the house why was it kind of cleansed almost like someone cleaned up

00:32:42.600 a crime scene i mean i get it um and i'm not disputing any of that i think there probably

00:32:47.560 is more to the story in some of these cases i'm just saying that when when there is a like at

00:32:55.860 least using this as an example when cash patel and all these other people are saying yes this

00:33:00.500 is definitely the guy we have plenty of evidence we we know that he did it and you know there's no

00:33:05.500 question about it um and then someone else says well you know that's all bs and look at all look

00:33:11.340 at my frame by frame analysis of the video and look at how it couldn't have happened that way and

00:33:15.580 all that i mean again if you walk in with a bias wanting to believe one side or the other you're 0.91

00:33:20.860 probably just gonna say okay whatever the other side is saying is is crap um so try to keep an

00:33:26.860 open mind if you are going to do that but also at least make sure you've heard both sides and when 0.96

00:33:30.460 When I say both sides, it's that documentary effect problem.

00:33:33.880 It's like if you watch this frame by frame analysis and someone says there's no way Tyler Robinson was the shooter, look for someone else that disputes that.

00:33:43.800 You know, it's kind of like what Scott did with climate change where he, you know, certainly heard all the consensus views about it and probably for a while believed it.

00:33:50.600 And then he heard all the debunks talking about the other side of that, how it's all BS.

00:33:57.420 but then he went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and look for the debunk of the

00:34:01.880 debunk of the debunk. And there can be many layers to it like that, where, you know, if you just stop

00:34:08.200 at whatever point you agree with, you may be missing part of the story. BJ, you wanted to say

00:34:13.700 something. Yeah, I feel like I'm in Twitter space. I got to raise my hand. I'm trying to be the

00:34:18.220 polite Canadian. I also think there's just kind of the human nature effect of it. Like if we start

00:34:23.840 with if our bias is everything is a lie to us then we're always going to look for something

00:34:27.880 to convince ourself of something else but in this particular case didn't wasn't he turned in by his

00:34:34.160 law enforcement father like a retired cop and he committed to it so there's a lot of dispute to a

00:34:40.560 lot of the stuff apparently that person just resigned dun dun dun yeah i think if his father

00:34:46.160 is turning him in his father is a veteran police officer uh if there was any funny business i don't

00:34:52.540 think it was his father wasn't it like a friend it was a yeah it was like somebody else it wasn't

00:34:56.580 the dad and that was alleged it was not ever um confirmed by the by the right his father was a

00:35:03.260 retired cop isn't he no no he's like a family friend or something but i think his father was

00:35:09.880 yeah his father was in law enforcement that's for sure that much i remember you know and having

00:35:15.540 family that's in law enforcement it's kind of a close-knit community especially in smaller towns

00:35:20.520 like that um you don't think there would be pushback from other cops on the inside if he

00:35:25.800 was innocent there's no way this would have gone forward i don't know you guys listen i'm moving on

00:35:30.680 from it well i have something to talk about okay the main thing about this case is is it's gonna

00:35:38.800 go to trial so it's beyond a reasonable doubt so that's what the the hurdle to to meet is um

00:35:45.900 You're always going to have on one side the expert showing the opposite side, you know, going against Tyler Robinson.

00:35:54.020 And then on Tyler Robinson's part, you're going to have his own expert saying, you know, it didn't match the gun.

00:36:00.940 However, the main detail that I recently learned is that Catherine Nestor is going to be his defense counsel, his lead defense counsel.

00:36:11.320 And that in itself worries me.

00:36:13.680 But that's just my opinion.

00:36:15.900 Why? About Catherine Nestor. She was recently the counsel for Corey Richens, which some of the

00:36:23.180 people in the chat may know. That was a very publicized trial of a woman that, well, now it's

00:36:34.000 not alleged because she was convicted of the murder of her husband. But I had my issues with

00:36:41.640 her abilities. So it's very interesting that they didn't put somebody better able to defend him.

00:36:51.380 That's all I can say. I want to say to Basketball Jones, you asked, why isn't anyone talking about

00:36:58.200 the Israel connection? This panel doesn't know the CK case at all. Well, I respectfully would

00:37:05.200 like to say to you that I do know this case a lot and it is not our job here to talk about that

00:37:13.880 stuff. Like we're not litigating this case. Um, we don't want to take it to that level because

00:37:19.240 it's always changing. It's never ending and it's very volatile and we don't want to get stuck on

00:37:24.840 that. Scott wouldn't get stuck on that. We're not going to get stuck on that. So do your own

00:37:28.820 research you guys. And the whole point of it is, you know, if something seems suspect to you

00:37:34.700 anywhere in life, you know, trust your gut and your instincts. It doesn't matter whether it's

00:37:39.340 this or, you know, taking a trip with someone and you feel weird about it. Just always, you know,

00:37:44.360 do your five, six, sevens and, um, find out what it is that's bothering you. And maybe you'll get

00:37:50.360 the answer and then realize like, okay, all right, I'm cool with this. Like I thought this, but it

00:37:54.440 turns out this is okay. So do your own research on that. Um, yes, I'm just here to kick your butt. 0.97

00:38:01.200 Okay. So I wanted to bring up, if you guys don't mind, let me just open this, a story that BJ 0.99

00:38:09.640 shared with us today. We were talking about the shenanigans in, excuse me, in Canada the other

00:38:19.020 day. And, you know, whether you have free speech and they're going to come to your house and knock

00:38:23.100 on your door and tell you that, you know, you wrote a tweet that wasn't right. So come on,

00:38:28.060 little thing here okay so i'm loading up here so bj shared um why don't you set up what the what

00:38:34.020 the story was about bj and then i'll play the clip well basically we have very restrictive gun rights

00:38:41.160 in canada uh so i i can't understand all these shootings that we have because you know we don't

00:38:47.040 we're not allowed to have shootings here because we have restrictive gun rights yet amazingly they 0.99

00:38:51.420 still keep happening. And the government, while Blackface Trudeau was still in power, 0.94

00:38:58.180 they imposed a series of restrictions on firearms, meaning you could no longer

00:39:04.120 purchase firearms. They did a whole long list of now banned firearms in Canada, which included

00:39:12.300 AR15.com, AR15.net and AR15.ca. Yes, somebody went to the internet and just copied a list

00:39:21.400 and pasted it into the legislation that's like it's a Dilbert cartoon it's it's the Dilbert

00:39:27.300 filter which works very well in Canadian politics and so now they're continuing down this path

00:39:33.700 because extremists always escalate and they can never uh self-evaluate whether they're making a

00:39:39.540 mistake or not and the latest is the government I've received some of them because I don't have

00:39:44.660 I don't have firearms in Canada but I have a firearms license and they're sending us emails

00:39:49.580 saying, you know, you should surrender your firearms if they're on this list of now prohibited

00:39:56.080 guns, prohibited firearms in Canada. And the latest was, well, you'll see in the video how the

00:40:04.080 government has their strategy of getting legally, legal firearms owners to return their firearms

00:40:12.300 to the government in this buyback program, which you recognize from Australia. And by the way,

00:40:16.880 in canada did you know it is not lawful to use a firearm in self-defense that's right a firearm is 0.75

00:40:24.040 only for sport shooting or if you have a hunting license that's how ridiculous it is and it's still

00:40:29.760 not enough they're still doubling down maybe so they even wanted to so what about people that hunt

00:40:35.300 they can't have guns either no because the law the uh hunting rifles are not within the band

00:40:41.080 it's um it's certain firearms like certain pistols and all that sort of stuff yeah my video is gone

00:40:47.180 i don't know why it's a rumble kind of a day okay so um if you guys want to like talk about this i

00:40:55.640 can probably pull it back up but i'm just afraid that i lost it um but it go ahead and if there

00:41:02.880 is a self-defense shooting which i'm sure there have been in canada what kind of punishment does

00:41:07.000 person face for that in canada it's funny you know i haven't i haven't mentioned that you guys

00:41:11.720 know but i produce a podcast for a a lawyer a defense lawyer in canada who focuses on false

00:41:18.680 accusations called not on record we do it on sunday nights and joseph in particular has defended i

00:41:25.480 think one or two cases um that will actually paint lay the foundation for castle doctrine in canada

00:41:33.400 because he was able to get the defendants off.

00:41:38.940 And in these cases, you know, property encroachment,

00:41:41.420 somebody came into their property, threatened him,

00:41:43.180 came into their house,

00:41:44.580 and they ended up using their firearm in self-defense.

00:41:48.980 Unfortunately, in Canada, that's immediate prosecution.

00:41:51.900 You immediately get arrested.

00:41:53.860 And although the person ended up being acquitted,

00:41:58.840 the problem is they had to go through the legal system

00:42:01.220 for a couple of years and how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in expense. And that's,

00:42:07.900 you know, it's kind of, it's an example of lawfare, you know, where the process is the

00:42:11.180 punishment. Yeah. Okay. You didn't do anything. You didn't murder somebody. It was self-defense,

00:42:15.900 but we've now bankrupted you in the process. And that's, that's kind of the real problem,

00:42:20.760 right? Yeah. Well, that's in the United States. That's one of the reasons why I recommend and 0.99

00:42:24.100 was recommended to me to have firearms insurance for that particular thing. Cause it's, it's a

00:42:29.740 kind of insurance you buy it's not very expensive maybe like 100 bucks a year or less if you can

00:42:34.240 shop around for it and they essentially will pay that 200 000 legal bill or they'll provide you

00:42:40.900 with a knowledgeable lawyer that will otherwise cost about 200 000 to try and defend you in a

00:42:46.860 self-defense shooting and so it's very specific insurance only for that type of thing and if you

00:42:52.260 you know commit a crime with a gun it's not going to cover you um but if if it is a real self-defense

00:42:57.340 shooting where you did everything the right way um and you know i'm sure there's some latitude of

00:43:02.780 whether it's questionable or not because there's always probably some gray area but

00:43:06.580 um you know as long as you pretty much did everything legally um then they will defend

00:43:12.520 you and they'll go through what however long that process takes and it's still going to be painful

00:43:16.700 it's not like it still won't be a punishment just like we saw with kyle rittenhouse you know

00:43:20.540 it's like his whole life was ruined or at least changed by that but um you know at least financially

00:43:26.480 he wasn't bankrupted and put into financial straits from that process so i'd certainly

00:43:32.400 recommend anybody who owns a firearm to make sure you have insurance for that yeah and that's because

00:43:37.400 you know who kyle rittenhouse is but you know these people are you know unknown just regular

00:43:41.560 people local community in rural ontario and you know some drunk one of the cases the guy was

00:43:49.240 drunk who came onto the property but almost killed the guy had no choice but to defend himself of a

00:43:55.520 firearm. Canada is not exactly the freedom basket that maybe it was or people thought it was. And

00:44:02.840 somebody mentioned that Canada is slipping into, you know, socialist, communist, dystopia sort of

00:44:09.000 thing. We are, and I remember this when I lived in Latin America, and I can compare it. We are

00:44:14.380 exactly 11 years into Hugo Chavez political strategy and political policies. So we're doing

00:44:22.260 exactly the same policies as hugo chavez did when he ruined venezuela that's how bad things are here

00:44:28.740 well we'll come in and get maduro when it's time

00:44:32.740 come in now please come on

00:44:36.120 i know there's been talk about it but i personally don't want canada to be the 51st state so

00:44:45.940 well no you want it to be a territory because you don't want us to have any impact on the

00:44:51.240 electoral college the last thing you want is us voting but it's actually how the writings are

00:44:55.600 distributed in canada but that gets all very boring unless you're a political nerd but they

00:45:00.540 biased all the right the districts and they've condensed them just basically into a few small

00:45:06.180 into a few cities toronto montreal and vancouver and those cities determine the entire country

00:45:12.100 the entire electorate on the uh the electoral results on the federal level if it was distributed

00:45:17.260 fairly. That's why you see this movement in Alberta. Alberta should have more seats because

00:45:23.620 Canada is actually a very conservative country. It's just it's just a couple of cities that are

00:45:29.160 very they used to be liberal. Now they're leftists. But if it was distributed fairly,

00:45:34.920 then you would see conservatives wouldn't would win just about every election. That's the reality.

00:45:39.540 Well, in a related story, did you see that Hagseth came out with his greater North America policy?

00:45:44.780 you know the monroe doctrine includes canada right what'd he say well he kind of basically

00:45:51.480 he used that term greater north america which i'm sure triggered a lot of people because it's

00:45:54.920 probably like the greater israel i don't know why he chose those words but that's the words he used

00:45:59.020 and um but he basically said we're gonna be protecting all the north american countries

00:46:05.960 like we're gonna have military influence and protect you know be the primary protector of

00:46:12.200 all the people above a certain latitude, I guess. I think he talked about the Amazon

00:46:16.720 River being one of the dividing lines, but he basically said, we're going to have a really

00:46:22.400 primary role to play there. And then he said, for anyone in the South of that, essentially

00:46:28.800 those countries would be required to defend themselves. We would partner with them and

00:46:33.480 still help them, but we'd be primarily focusing on the Northern American thing, which he now

00:46:39.740 calls greater north america so i don't know if you uh think that might be a step in the direction

00:46:44.780 of empire building but oh my god greater north america is amazing but there's there's a reason

00:46:49.600 for that i don't know if i mentioned on this stream or another one but uh when i when i ran

00:46:53.980 for office which was now well to when when trudeau got elected and i was in the conservative party

00:46:59.800 this was the chatter behind the scenes amongst mps and staffers and chiefs of staff because we

00:47:06.340 all kind of got to know each other was we had a regular problem in Canada of Russia surfacing

00:47:13.380 nuclear submarines in the Canadian Arctic on a regular basis. And that was just to show that

00:47:20.780 it's not protected. And if they really wanted to launch a nuclear attack on America, they could

00:47:26.400 very easily do it despite NORAD. They could very easily fire off a couple of nukes. And it was

00:47:32.500 everybody was I was shocked how scared everybody was within the political class that it was such

00:47:38.660 and you know one of the people I knew pretty well he had worked in Moscow he was an ambassador

00:47:45.720 and he was fluent in Russia and this is what was really frustrated frustrating about the whole

00:47:51.460 Russia Russia Russia gate stuff is the leftists have overplayed their hand so now it's become

00:47:57.780 almost like an inverse of a painted word that when you tell a conservative, oh, Russia, they just

00:48:04.040 automatically tune out. Oh, yeah, it doesn't mean anything. Well, Russia is not exactly

00:48:08.060 our friends. And the strategy of Alexander Dugan online and people parroting it is a perfect

00:48:13.520 example of that. So, yeah, that's that's where this all comes from. And the U.S. knows that

00:48:18.020 everybody in Canada knows everybody in the U.S. knows it. And we need the United States to secure

00:48:23.660 our northern border. And Trump knows that. And that's probably why he's saying, well, then you're

00:48:28.000 going to be part of the United States because we're not flipping the bill anymore if you're

00:48:31.320 not going to be involved. Right. Yeah. And I think the other maybe somewhat unstated part of this

00:48:36.800 message from Hegseth is Europe might be a little bit more on their own, too. That, you know,

00:48:43.100 essentially he did say we're going to be basically focusing on our own region of the world

00:48:46.940 militarily. I don't know that he necessarily called out Europe, but I certainly know Trump

00:48:52.520 has been saying, I think there was a post today about that, where he said, you know, you weren't

00:48:56.840 there for us, we're not going to be there for you. So Europe, you're on your own, you know,

00:49:01.420 all these other countries that wouldn't help with this. You know, you can't basically count on us

00:49:06.720 to defend you the way we have in the past. And so it's another step in the direction of maybe NATO

00:49:12.260 isn't really NATO anymore. You know, I mean, because from the US perspective, and Trump's

00:49:17.980 perspective is if you want to commit seppuku and commit suicide in europe like okay then we're not 0.76

00:49:23.760 going to support we're not going to help you commit suicide you're on your own you want to 0.91

00:49:27.320 be partners great but you know the u.s and i i understand this perspective it's not the u.s

00:49:33.160 responsibility to flip the bill for everybody all over the world yeah they're they're somewhat tasked

00:49:38.460 with securing international ports and waterways around the world that was a big thing in breton

00:49:42.980 woods that okay you're going to be the reserve currency but you got to make sure to secure

00:49:46.860 international trade. And for many administrations, they actually didn't do that properly. That's

00:49:51.120 what you're seeing going on right now with the Strait of Hormuz and Iran and all that sort of

00:49:54.580 stuff. But at the same time, they're not going to flip the bill to run everybody's country and then

00:50:00.700 have them just, you know, not own up any tax, like leave it with the American taxpayer,

00:50:07.140 like the American taxpayer shouldn't pay for that. So I understand the frustration. They're

00:50:10.880 completely right. I like that they're showing us who they are. And that's my next story regarding

00:50:16.020 trump and his allies uh him telling them to um fix your own oil mess to your read that that was a

00:50:25.280 really good um are you talking about his post that truth yeah can you read it or or do we have owen

00:50:30.840 read it in his i mean i would have to find it um can we just send it to you if you have it handy

00:50:39.520 sure here it is wait the one that says all those countries yeah where is it it's so good i like it

00:50:52.240 i thought that was um the way to go i can't take it up i'm afraid to hit a button right now my

00:50:59.840 my system's like what we can send it to you and if you want i think i got it okay here's a reading

00:51:08.640 by Owen, President Trump.

00:51:12.400 All of those countries that can't get jet fuel

00:51:14.700 because of the Strait of Hormuz,

00:51:16.060 like the United Kingdom,

00:51:17.060 which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran,

00:51:19.520 I have a suggestion for you.

00:51:20.700 Number one, buy from the US.

00:51:22.240 We have plenty.

00:51:23.460 And number two, build up some delayed courage.

00:51:25.580 Go to the strait and just take it.

00:51:27.720 You have to start learning how to fight for yourself.

00:51:30.100 The USA won't be there to help you anymore,

00:51:31.800 just like you weren't there for us.

00:51:33.400 Iran has been essentially decimated.

00:51:35.380 The hard part is done.

00:51:36.680 Go get your own oil.

00:51:37.600 president djt yeah good brilliant like a business remember everything is like a business transaction

00:51:46.700 that's his filter in the world right yeah you're not our children like it's your problem that's a

00:51:51.500 that's a you problem people figure it out daddy teaching them how to grow up and be big boys

00:51:56.360 yeah right you want money you want to go out on the weekends go get a job well i think this is

00:52:01.580 completely aligned with trump's whole energy strategy that he's been saying drill baby drill

00:52:05.760 from day one and he's done a lot to make that happen and i think we were reaching a point

00:52:10.000 like earlier this year where at least in my mind we were starting to say you know are we going to

00:52:15.260 have a supply glut which is a problem for the united states because we do a lot of fracking

00:52:19.560 which is more expensive and if you push the oil price down too far those companies go out of

00:52:24.140 business and so you know it's almost like you have to have the the oil price above a certain level

00:52:30.380 for the United States to be competitive. And now we are, because oil prices are high.

00:52:37.600 And so, you know, it's interesting just to me strategically, I don't know how much of this was

00:52:42.980 intentional, but it's like he is really positioning the United States as a primary supplier of oil to

00:52:48.060 the world. And a lot of the steps that we've taken with a lot of these different conflicts,

00:52:53.060 including the Ukraine war, has positioned the United States as a supplier, like all this

00:52:57.500 liquefied natural gas, Europe is signing up for getting it from the United States because they

00:53:01.640 can't get it from Ukraine or Russia anymore. And, you know, the pipelines are bombed and all these

00:53:07.220 other things, but it just positioned the United States to be the primary supplier. And now the

00:53:11.980 same thing is true for general oil that, you know, Trump is basically saying we're open for

00:53:19.300 business. You can buy it from us. And, you know, we'll make a lot more money off this in the

00:53:24.760 process um and so i think he's kind of flipping the script a little bit to say yeah in the past

00:53:29.820 we've tried to just make sure oil prices were affordable and that it's smooth global commerce

00:53:34.420 across the world but now it's your problem if you want to go get your oil go get it and you know we

00:53:40.400 did the hard part but you know basically you're on your own from here on out yeah that's the way

00:53:46.460 to go i mean that that to me shows putting america first um and that's what i think that's

00:53:54.300 what we want to see can i be devil's advocate always okay um so if i was europe i'm not europe

00:54:02.320 but let's pretend i'm a europe and europe would say the only reason the street of her moose is a 0.99

00:54:08.220 disaster and chaos is because of donald j trump fighting and with iran when they didn't have to

00:54:16.540 because there was no imminent threat in their mind so that's just how they see it um and now

00:54:23.620 Trump is telling them, go take the oil, but they, in their mind, they're not the ones that created 0.98

00:54:29.740 the issue to begin with. And can I play devil's advocate to the devil's advocate? Yes, certainly.

00:54:36.880 I understand. We see that perspective and they try to push that out. I think people in the West

00:54:43.840 have a really, really poor understanding of Iran and what Iran is. And we discussed that on our

00:54:49.960 previous stream, right? That Iran has caused such chaos in the region that even Saudi Arabia is now 1.00

00:54:56.180 sending jets. Like never before could you imagine. And this is how brilliant Trump is. He gets the

00:55:01.860 Jews and the Arabs both to love them and working together. So he's got Bahrain and UAE and Saudi

00:55:08.000 Arabia and Israel in an alliance against Iran, which has really been the one that's been trying

00:55:13.460 to be the neighborhood bully to push everybody around because they really are quite extreme.

00:55:18.540 People don't understand the implications of the IRGC. The Iranians do. And people in the Middle East do. This is why he killed Soleimani in his first term. Because Soleimani was the one who ran the IRGC. The guy they killed last week was the guy who ran sleeper cells for the IRGC around the world, including sleeper cells that are in America and Canada. 0.84

00:55:42.800 They really are. The reason they have two militaries is one is a regular military, but then one is the true believer military.

00:55:52.020 Think ISIS as a military. That's what the IRGC is. And they got immense power and they were going for nuclear weapons.

00:55:59.880 And up until they were invaded, they said, we have enough uranium for what they say, 11 nuclear weapons.

00:56:06.740 and they were building their ICBM. So this all was inevitable. And this has been the

00:56:11.920 international community kicking the can down the road for 47 years. And if you look at what Trump

00:56:18.140 is doing, he's solving the big annoying problems economically in regards to security around the

00:56:26.040 world from the 20th century. You know, he got rid of Chavez's Venezuela. It looks like he's

00:56:33.940 going to get cuba uh he's got rid of iran these were major issues throughout the 20th century the

00:56:40.800 back half of the 20th century and he's probably solved them all what's the next thing he's going

00:56:46.380 to solve you know well you know go ahead marcella

00:56:49.240 you think that he's solved the ran yet i mean they're still oh yeah yeah it's really funny when

00:56:58.180 You know, the two movies, one screen phenomenon that Scott Adams looks at, discussed frequently, it's amazing to see the complete divergence of opinions that are promulgated online and in legacy media.

00:57:15.880 And as Scott often said, and we learn in hypnosis, if you hear the same opinion five times, you're likely to adopt it and absorb it as your own opinion, especially if you're kind of you're not really emotionally involved in it.

00:57:28.180 And it's amazing to see that. And this is to people's shock. People thought Iran was one of the most powerful militaries on the planet. So everybody's afraid of them. He sunk their Navy. There's two navies, right? Both the Americans and the Iranians are on the ocean, except the Iranians are at the bottom of the ocean.

00:57:48.280 He destroyed their entire air force, destroyed their entire defense system. Everybody can fly in. The last thing they have is a gang of militia on the ground. That's the last thing that's left of it.

00:58:01.000 See, it's completely destroyed them. But it's amazing to see there's people online. And he did this within a month. There's people online trying to brainwash people in the West to say, oh, Trump has lost. Trump has lost. I guess they basically didn't have any background of the implications of Iran over the past 30 years, let's say, when they got very, very strong. 0.61

00:58:24.960 And if you take the long term approach, you zoom out of what has transpired, that he's taken out this regime that was singularly focused on America.

00:58:35.860 You guys are the target. And he just destroyed them in a month.

00:58:40.420 This is 47 years of work for the great battle.

00:58:44.340 Yeah. And I think there is a lot of goalposts moving and persuasion going on here because, you know, you certainly can see both sides to it if you want to. You can say he took out three layers of leadership. The regime is gone. Even if they have another one, even if they might be just as bad, they're at least a different regime. And they've probably learned a lesson that if they go too far, they're going to get smacked down. And it's also going to take many years for them to have any kind of nuclear capability, probably for at least five or 10 years.

00:59:11.800 We just got to get the uranium. I'm going to say they're definitely hurting and crippled. And I don't think Trump, I want to say that Iran is really the one that unified everybody by firing missiles at their neighbors for no freaking reason. So thanks, Iran. They did that. So you guys, time to end. I'm sorry, it's 11.

00:59:34.460 um so listen bj thank you so so much um thank you marcella and owen as always and everybody in the
