00:03:31.800It was a beautiful experience and I regretted it, ever resisting it.
00:03:37.120I know Scott has talked about how even when you know someone's hypnotizing you or persuading you
00:03:44.920that it still works, and it did. He got me there. I think it is what he just said, really, which is
00:03:51.540it's partly building community and bonding and things like that. I think he did a great job with
00:03:57.900that. I agree. Welcome to the Scott Adams School. My name is Erica. As I said, BJ is joining us
00:04:05.440again our canadian news reporter honking for freedom so bj love there's his book
00:04:14.620you know scott was not was not ashamed of shameless plugs so no you shouldn't you should
00:04:21.000show that you should honkingforfreedom.com y'all um so bj was complimenting the show yesterday and
00:04:30.420did get a lot of feedback everybody loved that lesson scott gave um so if you did see it we had
00:04:37.300a discussion after and that's where marcella told us that words are spells which we all loved so you
00:04:44.580have to be careful of the words you use choose listen to adopt um but bj wanted to make some
00:04:53.220comments about it bj so please you know let us know your thoughts on that yeah oh also something
00:04:58.580else i forgot to tell you erica a couple of days ago you talked about brain worms and little jingles
00:05:03.860and the one you said was cars for kids i think is the one that gets in your mind
00:05:08.820one of my very big followers and supporters worked very high up in cars for kids and started watching
00:05:14.820you guys because of me and they were apparently all jumping in the office and oh my god they
00:05:19.140mentioned us it was so good hey cars for kids your jingle work that is for sure um yeah so i think
00:05:27.060yesterday your show really turned the corner and worked extremely well I think it was extremely
00:05:33.240helpful because one of the things that we often didn't get with Scott was immediate feedback from
00:05:38.280people like yeah you could see in the comments and stuff but it was just fascinating to see him
00:05:42.900give a lesson that was I think 12 minutes long and then you all took something away from them
00:05:47.860and the one I loved the best was Marcella which was who doesn't know this which is how I feel too
00:05:52.840but there are people who don't. And it was just interesting to see how you guys pulled something
00:05:58.980away from it. And it's interesting, when I was watching it, it was so many of the things that
00:06:05.140you learn in hypnosis, he frequently covered and he put them into lessons. This was Scott Adams'
00:06:12.520big innovation in the field of communication and hypnosis, was his ability to package.
00:06:18.880He 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.
00:06:30.560You know, he talked about the fear of rejection, and you learn in hypnosis that those are people who are suffering from anxiety.
00:06:38.400Why? Because they're living in the future.
00:06:40.220They're always living in future outcomes, right?
00:06:45.020You know, how does hypnosis fix people that are dealing with living in the future?
00:06:50.300Well, 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.
00:07:07.300I don't want to get into too much, but that's the basic part of it.
00:07:10.660And 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.
00:07:31.780it completely changes your emotional state and allows you to overcome challenges way easier.
00:07:39.680And then the last thing that was covered there that you guys discussed, that you just mentioned
00:07:43.040here, were the five why strategy, five to seven why strategy. And I think that's important because
00:07:49.860that teaches, it forces people into starting to recognize observing ego. In psychology,
00:07:57.760they call it disassociation. And that's often what mentally ill people suffer from.
00:08:03.380But there's a very, and psychopaths disassociate themselves. But it can be a very big tool for
00:08:08.320those of us who want to do self-analysis. It's what you learn in hypnosis, how to disassociate
00:08:13.140yourself from the situation. And you do that by asking why, why, why, why, why to get away from
00:08:18.460your emotions and just get into the raw data or the raw scenario of what you're experiencing.
00:08:24.520So 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.
00:08:34.120Thank 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.
00:08:44.480And I just feel like the right lessons always show up at the right time.
00:08:49.800And, you know, Owen, you were saying this morning that you hope people really try the five whys, right?
00:08:57.600Yeah, I call it the five, six, seven method.
00:08:59.700But 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.
00:09:07.280and it gets you a much deeper emotional connection and goes into what you're really after, what your
00:09:13.840values are. And I think in many cases, it does create a source of motivation that you might
00:09:20.260have not been able to access any other way. And Marcella, what was your feedback like yesterday?
00:09:27.060Oh, it was great. The feedback that I got. Yeah. Some people were, you know, they always have
00:09:35.560their they have their issues with with my abuse but either way I think everybody
00:09:44.460if they need that you know we can always bring those lessons to them so thank you Erica for
00:09:50.820bringing that up oh yeah you know what I've oh go ahead BJ yeah I just want to tack on to Marcella
00:09:57.040I think you know when I loved what Marcella basically said who doesn't know this and I
00:10:02.240think there's a reason for that. And this is my experience spending a lot of time living in Latin
00:10:07.520America, that those sorts of lessons, they teach you street smarts and the lessons of living what
00:10:15.700Marcella experienced when she was younger, civil war, narco-traficantes, paramilitaries,
00:10:21.740you know, Colombia is the same way. And we in the West, because it's been so peaceful here,
00:10:27.000we're extremely gullible. We really are. And I think it's the ability of people who grew up in
00:10:33.180Latin America under strife. They're not nearly as gullible as the rest of us. And I think that's
00:10:37.180why they just have a natural understanding of these things as opposed to we struggle a little
00:10:42.200bit of it in the West. At least that's just my perspective. Yeah. But also I think there's a
00:10:45.960natural, I think it's wired into us that it takes a lot of energy to analyze, you know, where is
00:10:54.540is coming from? Why am I doing this thing that's not productive for me? You have to trace it all
00:11:01.380back and break it all down and really think about it. And I think we spend most of our time in the
00:11:08.940habits, just repeating loops of whatever we've formed as habits. And there's good habits and
00:11:15.160bad habits. But most of the time, I think it's kind of like a biological efficiency thing. It's
00:11:21.220like, well, you don't have enough energy in your brain to just be going back to first principles
00:11:26.420all the time and, and figuring out why it is. So it's almost more like you need to decide, okay,
00:11:31.760when is it worth it to get under the hood and figure out what's going on here and make a change
00:11:37.660and then try and rewire your brain or, you know, form a new habit. And then once you have that
00:11:44.100habit formed, you can go back to that sort of automatic mode of saying, I'm just going to do
00:11:48.640that every day. And once I've done it for a month or two, it's just going to be a habit. And it may
00:11:54.380be hard in the first week, you know, if you're trying to like lose weight or exercise or do
00:11:59.300whatever, but once you get in the routine of it and it becomes just part of your day, then it
00:12:04.680becomes part of who you are. And then it, you know, it's kind of like riding a bike. It's like
00:12:08.740when you first ride a bike, it's really hard to learn, but once you've got it, you don't even
00:12:11.900think about it anymore. Right. And I think it's the same thing. I think it's, you're mostly living
00:12:16.420in your habits and you don't necessarily really think about where did those habits come from
00:12:21.500or do I even want that habit well yeah no I totally agree with that and it it you know it
00:12:29.480takes no time for some reason to build a bad habit and a lot of it's learned behavior maybe
00:12:34.900it's your friends or your family or whatever so like you know Marcella was saying like you know
00:12:39.680her family, you know, like her culture, her family, it was like, we just don't do this.
00:12:47.220Like I, she didn't, she didn't say, she didn't say who doesn't know this. She said, I never
00:12:51.660needed to have to learn this. Like it was already within me. Um, luckily because of the way she was
00:12:58.000raised. Um, but what I love, uh, is I think that Owen and Marcella and myself, we are three very
00:13:06.580different people with different upbringings and different cultural backgrounds, and that we all
00:13:12.700can bring something different to the same lesson Scott taught us. And that if you guys could find
00:13:20.480a little something in our responses also that maybe helps you, that's perfect. And so maybe
00:13:27.160it's like a little something Marcella said with the emotion of Owen and then the sassy chick over
00:13:33.200here, you know, waving my hand around like a lunatic, you know, maybe there's a little something
00:13:38.040in all of us or one person's resonating with you and that's perfect. And then, you know,
00:13:43.280that's why I was saying too, like you just have to, you really have to practice choosing the right
00:13:49.120words, deciding to have better self-talk because once you realize like how much meaning words have,
00:13:57.660like I always say, you know, don't say I'm going to try to do something, then you're allowing
00:14:01.220yourself to fail. Just say, I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it until it's done or until
00:14:06.720it's right or whatever. Cause if you say, I'm going to try, then you're like, and if it doesn't
00:14:10.860work, it doesn't work. I tried. No, no, just get it, get her done. Um, so I, I like that we recap
00:14:17.900that we are going to do more of that moving forward. You guys, I have a bunch of clips and
00:14:22.340lessons from scott and um you know more scott more better but i do want to move over to a couple of
00:14:31.480fun little things so one i don't know what happens if i click this but congratulations
00:14:36.580there we go so now the west palm beach airport is going to be renamed to the president donald
00:14:44.160trump airport ron desantis just signed that signed that in so listen another place where
00:14:50.740his name is going this makes him happy we like a happy president um any comments on that yes
00:14:57.780yeah just just a little context because my parents live very close to there and i spent a lot of time
00:15:02.460i was there for the past two weeks um the thing that's hysterical about that is this has been an
00:15:07.420ongoing feud between trump and like the local town council everyone hates the town council but you
00:15:14.300know they're basically a bunch of commies and so they've been going back and forth for years they
00:15:19.280would deny him the helipad couldn't fly his plane in like whatever they can come up to make trump's
00:15:24.080life miserable they would do it and this is another example they put on twitter of revenge
00:15:29.560is a dish best served cold it's brilliant yeah now now look what you got you could have gave
00:15:34.560him the helipad but now you got the whole freaking airport there you go people i'm looking forward to
00:15:39.240watching people going through that airport just yeah they're gonna go around they're gonna like
00:15:44.100fly to Fort Lauderdale and take the extra drive. Yeah. He needs more airport names after him.
00:15:51.360And airlines. I agree, Marcella. Okay. The other story that Owen posted, I hope that came down.
00:16:00.280Okay. The other story Owen posted today that just had me giggling immediately because I love
00:16:06.360bringing it up. The outrage over the ballroom, we were talking about it yesterday. So let's go
00:16:13.240through this quickly, Owen, but I want to pose. So Caroline Levitt first posted this and Owen,
00:16:19.820why don't you quickly read it for us? Sure. So the New York Times apparently had some people that
00:16:26.940quote, studied fine arts. Maybe I'll just read it. The New York Times had three random people who
00:16:31.200have studied fine arts, long written about urban planning and never built anything to write an
00:16:35.860article criticizing the new White House ballroom. President Trump and his lead architect have built
00:16:39.940world-class buildings around the world. And they're ensuring that people's house finally
00:16:43.820has a beautiful ballroom that's been needed for decades at no expense to the taxpayer.
00:16:48.920And then of course this sparked, you know, outrage, right? So here's, here's the outrage
00:16:55.020over the ballroom. I wish I could make this bigger. I don't, you never know with Rumble,
00:16:58.740but anyway, I'm going to look at it. So I don't know if you guys can see it, but they were like,
00:17:03.120you know it's too tall the columns get in the way of the view the path looks bumpy this stair the
00:17:10.960little stairs go over here to the entrance but then they have grand staircase that doesn't even
00:17:15.920go to the door you know whatever you could complain about right and then it looks to me
00:17:21.480like a fifth grader did this for one thing and it's just ridiculous the criticisms they have of
00:17:26.680this um oh it's very tall uh-oh like it's not a tall ballroom what exactly is the issue with that
00:17:35.400and uh you know i don't know i just all of it's ridiculous but you know owen you know what that
00:17:41.240is that's called the fake because trying to persuade in the opposite direction
00:17:44.920so that was that was that one then we have here this is my favorite one
00:17:52.040yeah that's the parody version when you you have a top naval architect who does the same thing with
00:18:00.360criticizing an aircraft carrier and you can see bottom of the boat gets wet there's not enough
00:18:07.420parking what does it say yeah for everybody listening because i do listen to you guys as
00:18:12.880opposed to watch um and it's important to understand the meme is basically echoing that
00:18:18.180with an aircraft carrier with these very unprofessional lines pointing out to parts of
00:18:23.320the aircraft carrier oh my god why is it so tall oh my god why does it have so many planes or
00:18:28.240whatever else right it's just ridiculous i love it so much and then of course oh and my favorite
00:18:35.180is my favorite is the railing blocks the ocean view the ship railing blocks the ocean view oh
00:18:42.460no and then of course then we have one of our favorites of always oh just to show you how tall
00:18:51.180the ballroom is it's very very tall showing a picture of a guy it's barren it's barren who's
00:18:58.140absurdly tall and he's taller than the ballroom yeah bless yeah i love i love the outrage it's
00:19:06.220so fun. Fake Biden is taller than the ballroom. Oh yeah. Fake Biden was amazing. And then last
00:19:12.960on the fun Trump hysteria. Um, I hope this works. So there's also the release of the Trump library,
00:19:21.940the AI, uh, depiction of what it's going to be. And all I want to tell you guys is that it is
00:19:27.800also very tall oh there we go it's showing the video of the trump library there was a very tall
00:19:38.060trump library and baron is up to the sphere on top he's taller i love it perfect so good i think
00:19:51.500that was from politarican meme maker on x so that was all the fun i wanted to share but good good
00:20:00.260times whoo okay so marcella i am um i'm gonna toss to a news story to you first if you don't mind
00:20:08.680and um we'll take it from there okay thanks so keeping the theme of trump trump comes to the
00:20:15.560rescue for TSA. He yesterday he created or wrote an emergency
00:20:25.280action, emergency order to pay the TSA officers. Basically, he
00:20:31.340declared a national emergency to pay them. And they will be
00:20:36.420getting their first paychecks in a few weeks. So basically, he
00:20:41.300rescued them. So how, what, what was happening is that DHS was funded, partially funded in the
00:20:51.000Senate, but then for whatever reason, they ended up taking out the ICE funding and the Border
00:20:58.260Patrol funding in order for the Dems to vote for that. Then it went to Congress. Congress didn't
00:21:04.060want to vote on it because they disagreed with the Border Patrol being excluded from the funding.
00:21:10.540and ice so basically it was a standstill uh the however you would call it but um trump always
00:21:18.160comes to the rescue he also was the one to bring ice to the airports to do tsa's job while they
00:21:27.300were some of them weren't there but you know i was thinking yes that everything so today i was like
00:21:38.320nothing is organic so yesterday we talked about no kings protest and how like they all came out
00:21:44.9403 000 events and none of that was organic all of it was paid for you know your sorrows your
00:21:50.840blah blah blah there's so many different evil people anyways um when it comes to tsa officers
00:21:58.780or TSA people that weren't on the job, I wonder if some of them were, you know, pushed to not go
00:22:08.360to work, you know, and stay away from work. So it created this chaos. So that's just my conspiracy
00:22:15.400theory of the day. I thought that it didn't seem organic. I kind of thought that too. Um, because
00:22:21.980Trump, you know, funding it now, like giving, you know, their paychecks has to piss off the
00:22:28.860Democrats because they're so sick, like that. They're like, oh, let's just screw up air travel
00:22:34.680for everybody, you know, have people not have jobs. And then, you know, Trump funding it is
00:22:39.740like, no way, like it's backfiring. So I agree. And that list of people, um, paying for those,
00:22:47.600that protest was so sick. It was like over 500 organizations paying for it. So none of that's
00:22:55.740organic people. So you see those crowds and you're like, wow, no, it's all paid for. Oh my God. I'm
00:23:02.300going to pull for tomorrow. I think, um, the clip of this woman talking to the people at the protest
00:23:09.160in Minnesota, telling them you just need to be, what does she call them? You just need to be like
00:23:16.580a folding chair. She's like, oh, we need mules. She's like, we already have the brilliant people
00:23:22.260putting together these protests. We just need mules and we need you to be the mules. We need
00:23:28.000you to be the people that are like, here's some donuts for like the people that are putting this
00:23:32.060together. Here, we'll do the folding chairs here. You know, I'm like, oh my God, like you are
00:23:37.160literally telling people like, I just need you to be an NPC mule. So, you know, it's all very
00:23:44.380well funded and corrupt. It's really sad because it's affecting people's lives in the worst way
00:23:49.220possible. So, so the, so just to clarify the, the executive order signed by Trump yesterday also
00:23:56.320added one, 1.2 billion for emergency funds that are going to be used for security operation,
00:24:02.460not just TSA. And it's going to help in other operations, not just the, the TSA service people
00:24:13.320or officers so good it's good that is good all right owen i'm gonna toss to you yeah well speaking
00:24:21.260of conspiracy theories there's been a plot twist in the tyler robinson case with charlie kirk that
00:24:26.760apparently the uh bullet the atf is unable to match it to the rifle that the assassin used
00:24:35.780allegedly um and i think it's probably they're probably stretching on this um in terms of
00:24:45.220claiming that all this means he wasn't the killer um i think it i think it i think it's common that
00:24:52.040that can happen like that you can't necessarily always ballistically match a bullet to a rifle
00:24:57.440it's not like every time they can always do it and this time they can't so it's clearly from
00:25:01.200another rifle i think it's you know bullets when they go into a body usually fragmented to a bunch
00:25:06.540of pieces and there isn't necessarily something you can do to really definitively say this bullet
00:25:12.340came from this rifle well i think um so they're gonna say what it wasn't a 30-06 well i think it
00:25:18.980probably was the right caliber i don't i don't think that detail was in the story in terms of
00:25:22.800whether it was a different caliber that would certainly be a problem for the prosecution if
00:25:28.520it was like a nine millimeter you know and then it wasn't a 30 out six but i don't think anyone's
00:25:32.980alleging that at this point i think it's just that they can't necessarily definitively say
00:25:37.680you know this bullet came from that rifle wasn't there something etched on it though owen
00:25:42.720well that i think there was something etched on the casing oh the casing okay gotcha yeah
00:25:48.520but that would have been left over on the roof and you know that would at least probably show that
00:25:52.860a bullet was fired. Right. Um, but it wouldn't necessarily, um, you know, match it to that
00:25:59.480bullet. And, and, um, you know, I think we've had too many of these CSI shows and things where
00:26:05.260people do these things that aren't real in their analysis. Like, you know, they'll say, Oh, I got
00:26:11.360this matched up to that. Or I, I was able to definitively prove that this is that, or, you
00:26:16.220know, do this DNA analysis in five seconds or whatever it is. Um, and people have come to
00:26:21.520expect that that's reality when in many cases I don't think that is what they what police can do
00:26:27.800so I do think it's a little bit of a stretch to say this is a real like smoking gun but I think
00:26:33.920that's what's going around x right now and um there's certainly a lot of stories being written
00:26:38.360about it and the defense will probably try and do something with it but I think um chances are
00:26:43.880it's probably not it really doesn't mean anything and I think there's plenty of other evidence that
00:26:48.060would point to that person being the killer yeah i mean he was on the roof with a gun um or was he
00:26:56.420i don't know can i just weigh in on this a little bit as the sometimes foreigner um i think this is
00:27:04.940very concerning this is persuasion in action um so we've forgotten the ability to understand that
00:27:12.940certain things are just inconclusive the evidence can't point in either direction and i think this
00:27:17.700might be another indication of that and i think the reason that's so concerning for me and again
00:27:23.660this is the persuasion sort of hypnotist filter is people once they get some sense of doubt there's
00:27:32.400this the process of how the human operating system works if we don't know with absolute certainty
00:27:38.380we naturally gravitate to the most irrational and extreme possibility you know oh i don't know what
00:27:46.260that light in the sky is therefore it might be must be aliens from another galaxy sort of thing
00:27:51.340and i think this is what people who have nefarious intent for the united states who know this this
00:27:57.360field very well this is exactly what they're trying to do they're trying to get people to
00:28:02.280once again it's the yuri bezmanov strategy of get people to be demoralized get people to question
00:28:09.200absolutely everything and then they cannot process actual reality which is right in front of their
00:28:15.120face the slightest little question gets them to go off the rails and okay it must be aliens i think
00:28:21.880this is just it's ballistics is an engineering science that like all like like many engineering
00:28:28.900sciences sometimes when there's a lack of precision you've got to be able to admit that
00:28:34.440okay this is inconclusive and you see this in murder trials in dna as well sometimes it's
00:28:39.600inconclusive, because it's only mitochondria DNA that's available. I think that's all this is. But
00:28:45.420that's just my two cents, my two cents. I mean, Scott has talked about this in some aspects of
00:28:50.540saying maybe the opposite part of this is something being too on the nose. If everything
00:28:54.900lines up perfectly, it might be a good reason to be skeptical to say, wait a second, life isn't
00:28:59.420really like that. And, you know, I certainly remember a lot of these earlier conspiracy
00:29:06.140theories about tyler robinson and like oh look at what you know he didn't have the rifle when he
00:29:10.680jumped off the roof or it would have acted somehow differently and i i think you know and they were
00:29:16.160making these big deals out of a particular frame where it's like oh his bodyguard did it look he
00:29:20.420moved his arm this way therefore he shot him and and you know they're connecting all these dots
00:29:27.440in these extreme ways like you said but um i think i agree that it comes back to that
00:29:33.500human nature aspect that we don't like uncertainty we don't like something to be unexplained we don't
00:29:39.740like it when all the facts don't match up exactly as we expect um it makes us uncomfortable we don't
00:29:45.080want to be there so we find another way to say well what is a theory that would explain everything
00:29:50.160or what is a way that it would you know have all the facts in a in a nice straight line even though
00:29:58.620life isn't like that um just because it makes us feel better it makes us feel more comfortable or
00:30:03.700you know allows us to say okay now it's all explained um even if it is kind of a ridiculous
00:30:08.800explanation chasing confirmation bias so then it's it so oh and i'm confused i'm not even looking for
00:30:16.780like what your opinion is on this so that could go either way so if cash patel was like hey we
00:30:23.480got the guys buttoned up here's the gun da da da da da da so then some people are like okay good
00:30:27.920whoo glad that's taken care of but then there's other people that are like i grew up questioning
00:30:33.680every single thing that came in front of my face so then there's people questioning it like well
00:30:40.660that got buttoned up fast but what about this and what about that and so i have no issue with
00:30:47.260anyone questioning anything about anything ask questions i tell you guys this all the time too
00:30:54.060Scott would tell you too. And Owen just told us yesterday, peel it back, the five, six, seven
00:31:00.060whys. Keep asking questions until you personally are satisfied. You don't have to take anyone's
00:31:06.320answer for anything. So I just say peel it back. If you feel uncomfortable and your gut is saying
00:31:13.640something, then go ahead. I'm all for asking questions and examining things and trying to
00:31:19.620make sense of the world, you know, with that analysis. But I guess what I would challenge
00:31:24.700people to do is to say, number one, don't go into it with some bias. Like you think you know the
00:31:29.000answer and you're just going to line up all the facts to match that. And because you can probably
00:31:33.100convince yourself of anything if you really want to. And, you know, you'll come up with a theory
00:31:39.220that makes it work. But I think, you know, the other part is, you know, it just, if you, and
00:31:48.060Scott said this part as well, that when you see something where someone's making a case for a
00:31:53.500particular theory, go look up the debunk. Go look up the other side. And for these controversial
00:31:59.060things like this, they're always out there. Someone will say, oh, it's definitely not Tyler
00:32:03.280Robinson. And here's all the facts. And then you'll have someone else who deconstructs that
00:32:07.540video and explains why none of that makes sense at all. What about the guy that tried to kill
00:32:12.440Trump. There's nothing about him, yet there are people that dug in and they found a ton out about
00:32:18.860this guy. Well, I'm not saying that there aren't gaps in a lot of these things. And I do think in
00:32:26.160some of these cases, it seems like they wrapped up the case without doing enough digging. And
00:32:33.860there certainly are mysteries about the Butler, Pennsylvania thing and that, you know, why wasn't
00:32:38.360there even silverware in the house why was it kind of cleansed almost like someone cleaned up
00:32:42.600a crime scene i mean i get it um and i'm not disputing any of that i think there probably
00:32:47.560is more to the story in some of these cases i'm just saying that when when there is a like at
00:32:55.860least using this as an example when cash patel and all these other people are saying yes this
00:33:00.500is definitely the guy we have plenty of evidence we we know that he did it and you know there's no
00:33:05.500question about it um and then someone else says well you know that's all bs and look at all look
00:33:11.340at my frame by frame analysis of the video and look at how it couldn't have happened that way and
00:33:15.580all that i mean again if you walk in with a bias wanting to believe one side or the other you're
00:33:20.860probably just gonna say okay whatever the other side is saying is is crap um so try to keep an
00:33:26.860open mind if you are going to do that but also at least make sure you've heard both sides and when
00:33:30.460When I say both sides, it's that documentary effect problem.
00:33:33.880It'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.
00:33:43.800You 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.
00:33:50.600And then he heard all the debunks talking about the other side of that, how it's all BS.
00:33:57.420but then he went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and look for the debunk of the
00:34:01.880debunk of the debunk. And there can be many layers to it like that, where, you know, if you just stop
00:34:08.200at whatever point you agree with, you may be missing part of the story. BJ, you wanted to say
00:34:13.700something. Yeah, I feel like I'm in Twitter space. I got to raise my hand. I'm trying to be the
00:34:18.220polite Canadian. I also think there's just kind of the human nature effect of it. Like if we start
00:34:23.840with if our bias is everything is a lie to us then we're always going to look for something
00:34:27.880to convince ourself of something else but in this particular case didn't wasn't he turned in by his
00:34:34.160law enforcement father like a retired cop and he committed to it so there's a lot of dispute to a
00:34:40.560lot of the stuff apparently that person just resigned dun dun dun yeah i think if his father
00:34:46.160is turning him in his father is a veteran police officer uh if there was any funny business i don't
00:34:52.540think it was his father wasn't it like a friend it was a yeah it was like somebody else it wasn't
00:34:56.580the dad and that was alleged it was not ever um confirmed by the by the right his father was a
00:35:03.260retired cop isn't he no no he's like a family friend or something but i think his father was
00:35:09.880yeah his father was in law enforcement that's for sure that much i remember you know and having
00:35:15.540family that's in law enforcement it's kind of a close-knit community especially in smaller towns
00:35:20.520like that um you don't think there would be pushback from other cops on the inside if he
00:35:25.800was innocent there's no way this would have gone forward i don't know you guys listen i'm moving on
00:35:30.680from it well i have something to talk about okay the main thing about this case is is it's gonna
00:35:38.800go to trial so it's beyond a reasonable doubt so that's what the the hurdle to to meet is um
00:35:45.900You're always going to have on one side the expert showing the opposite side, you know, going against Tyler Robinson.
00:35:54.020And then on Tyler Robinson's part, you're going to have his own expert saying, you know, it didn't match the gun.
00:36:00.940However, the main detail that I recently learned is that Catherine Nestor is going to be his defense counsel, his lead defense counsel.
00:51:37.600president djt yeah good brilliant like a business remember everything is like a business transaction
00:51:46.700that's his filter in the world right yeah you're not our children like it's your problem that's a
00:51:51.500that's a you problem people figure it out daddy teaching them how to grow up and be big boys
00:51:56.360yeah right you want money you want to go out on the weekends go get a job well i think this is
00:52:01.580completely aligned with trump's whole energy strategy that he's been saying drill baby drill
00:52:05.760from day one and he's done a lot to make that happen and i think we were reaching a point
00:52:10.000like earlier this year where at least in my mind we were starting to say you know are we going to
00:52:15.260have a supply glut which is a problem for the united states because we do a lot of fracking
00:52:19.560which is more expensive and if you push the oil price down too far those companies go out of
00:52:24.140business and so you know it's almost like you have to have the the oil price above a certain level
00:52:30.380for the United States to be competitive. And now we are, because oil prices are high.
00:52:37.600And so, you know, it's interesting just to me strategically, I don't know how much of this was
00:52:42.980intentional, but it's like he is really positioning the United States as a primary supplier of oil to
00:52:48.060the world. And a lot of the steps that we've taken with a lot of these different conflicts,
00:52:53.060including the Ukraine war, has positioned the United States as a supplier, like all this
00:52:57.500liquefied natural gas, Europe is signing up for getting it from the United States because they
00:53:01.640can't get it from Ukraine or Russia anymore. And, you know, the pipelines are bombed and all these
00:53:07.220other things, but it just positioned the United States to be the primary supplier. And now the
00:53:11.980same thing is true for general oil that, you know, Trump is basically saying we're open for
00:53:19.300business. You can buy it from us. And, you know, we'll make a lot more money off this in the
00:53:24.760process um and so i think he's kind of flipping the script a little bit to say yeah in the past
00:53:29.820we've tried to just make sure oil prices were affordable and that it's smooth global commerce
00:53:34.420across the world but now it's your problem if you want to go get your oil go get it and you know we
00:53:40.400did the hard part but you know basically you're on your own from here on out yeah that's the way
00:53:46.460to go i mean that that to me shows putting america first um and that's what i think that's
00:53:54.300what we want to see can i be devil's advocate always okay um so if i was europe i'm not europe
00:54:02.320but let's pretend i'm a europe and europe would say the only reason the street of her moose is a
00:54:08.220disaster and chaos is because of donald j trump fighting and with iran when they didn't have to
00:54:16.540because there was no imminent threat in their mind so that's just how they see it um and now
00:54:23.620Trump is telling them, go take the oil, but they, in their mind, they're not the ones that created
00:54:29.740the issue to begin with. And can I play devil's advocate to the devil's advocate? Yes, certainly.
00:54:36.880I understand. We see that perspective and they try to push that out. I think people in the West
00:54:43.840have a really, really poor understanding of Iran and what Iran is. And we discussed that on our
00:54:49.960previous stream, right? That Iran has caused such chaos in the region that even Saudi Arabia is now
00:54:56.180sending jets. Like never before could you imagine. And this is how brilliant Trump is. He gets the
00:55:01.860Jews and the Arabs both to love them and working together. So he's got Bahrain and UAE and Saudi
00:55:08.000Arabia and Israel in an alliance against Iran, which has really been the one that's been trying
00:55:13.460to be the neighborhood bully to push everybody around because they really are quite extreme.
00:55:18.540People 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.
00:55:42.800They really are. The reason they have two militaries is one is a regular military, but then one is the true believer military.
00:55:52.020Think ISIS as a military. That's what the IRGC is. And they got immense power and they were going for nuclear weapons.
00:55:59.880And up until they were invaded, they said, we have enough uranium for what they say, 11 nuclear weapons.
00:56:06.740and they were building their ICBM. So this all was inevitable. And this has been the
00:56:11.920international community kicking the can down the road for 47 years. And if you look at what Trump
00:56:18.140is doing, he's solving the big annoying problems economically in regards to security around the
00:56:26.040world from the 20th century. You know, he got rid of Chavez's Venezuela. It looks like he's
00:56:33.940going to get cuba uh he's got rid of iran these were major issues throughout the 20th century the
00:56:40.800back half of the 20th century and he's probably solved them all what's the next thing he's going
00:56:46.380to solve you know well you know go ahead marcella
00:56:49.240you think that he's solved the ran yet i mean they're still oh yeah yeah it's really funny when
00:56:58.180You 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.
00:57:15.880And 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.
00:57:28.180And 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.
00:57:48.280He 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.
00:58:01.000See, 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.
00:58:24.960And 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.
00:58:35.860You guys are the target. And he just destroyed them in a month.
00:58:40.420This is 47 years of work for the great battle.
00:58:44.340Yeah. 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.
00:59:11.800We 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.
00:59:34.460um so listen bj thank you so so much um thank you marcella and owen as always and everybody in the
00:59:41.940chat you guys are amazing amazing amazing tomorrow we have a very new guest coming to the show to
