00:02:55.660thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. Go.
00:03:08.100Welcome, everyone. I am Erica. You are at the Scott Adams School on Monday, April 6,
00:03:15.0602026 in the year of our lord the day after easter okay so are you guys ready for a fresh new week
00:03:23.520i'm gonna need i'm gonna need you to like help me get through this week i don't know why i feel
00:03:28.320like i'm dragging a little i'm still wondering if we're gonna have bridge and power plant day
00:03:32.840i don't know what to wear for bridge day or power plant day like should one be an entree and one be
00:03:40.940a dessert like should we make like a i don't know what do you think marcella it doesn't sound like
00:03:46.740it's gonna happen the last i heard was there's a there's a supposed proposal for 45 day ceasefire
00:03:55.440who knows i i don't i i we are very much in the two movies on one screen and i even posted two
00:04:01.820movies on one screenshot because i had two posts right one on top of the other in my feed where
00:04:06.220One of them said Reuters is reporting that we've got a deal on the table and it might go forward.
00:04:11.520And then right underneath that, it said like Iran rejects all ceasefire things and they're not willing to open the strait and they're not going to do any of that.
00:05:44.800And then Joel will be here and we're off and running.
00:05:46.580I resisted for a long time this notion that Democrats were deliberately inviting masses of foreigners into the country because they wanted to grow little Democrats and create a one-party state.
00:06:05.440I've started to come around to that view.
00:06:07.660Before Trump effectively closed the southern border, I imagined a lot of it was incompetence and fecklessness.
00:06:16.580Now, there may be an element of that, but I think it was more intentional.
00:06:22.260The Biden administration opened that border on purpose and shipped people all over the country, wherever they wanted to go.
00:06:29.380They put illegal migrants with no ID onto commercial airplanes with regular passengers who all have to have an impeccable national ID.
1.00
00:06:40.940I mean, it's just, there is design behind it.
00:06:47.900And I don't have any other theory aside from this pathological passion for minorities
1.00
00:06:56.140and a weird notion that people who are non-white are superior.
00:07:05.220I don't see any other reason for inviting so many people in,
00:07:10.700And especially because, you know, on the one hand, the left talks about, oh, we need these
00:07:14.580people economically, you know, we have this aging age structure, and, you know, Social
00:07:20.080Security's imperiled, and Medicare costs too much, and we need young people to fill
1.00
00:07:38.760i mean so much for improving the age structure
00:07:44.440i was like yeah i don't know who the woman is she was on the trigonometry podcast
0.99
00:07:49.480but when i saw it today i was like oh it's like so weird to see someone kind of like
00:07:54.280peel back this onion of thought and be like wait a minute is this right what do you guys think
00:07:59.800about that owen what do you think well i don't i don't know who she is either so that would be my
00:08:05.400first question is this really a liberal or is this someone else i don't know exactly who that
00:08:09.640person is it was portrayed that way on x and maybe it is i don't know but um i certainly applaud
00:08:15.000people who are waking up to that sort of thing and have that kind of open mind to really look
00:08:19.640at the facts and um think about it in that depth i think most people don't do that i think most
00:08:24.880people are just taking whatever they're fed from the media as the headline and they don't go any
00:08:29.440deeper than that and so whatever the biden administration says they believe or whatever
00:08:33.920the trump administration says they believe depending on their political affiliation and
00:08:37.580they never question those things and say wait a second does that really make sense i mean i think
00:08:42.080some people are doing that on the right now with the iran war certainly because there are a lot of
00:08:46.400people they're saying hey wait a second you said no more wars and what are we doing now and um but
00:08:51.440i i do think it's good to do that i think it's good to question those things and to say wait a
00:08:55.220second i you know this is what you promised me or this is what you said was happening and that's not
00:08:59.280really what's happening. And I think that happens all the time in government. I mean, I do think
00:09:04.020that Trump is more, tries to stick closer to his campaign promises than any prior president in my
00:09:10.160lifetime. But he's certainly not perfect in that regard. He hasn't been. And, you know, we, I think
00:09:17.200all expected that we'd be cutting back on government. We'd be draining the swamp. We'd be
00:09:21.340doing all those things. And I think in many ways, we're kind of disappointed that there's still a
00:09:25.820lot of swamp and there's still, you know, trillion dollar budgets being proposed and all those things.
00:09:31.960But I think certainly in the case of Biden, you know, it does look deliberate. I think everything
00:09:37.560she said was correct. I think it was all a system that was designed to manipulate the political
00:09:43.180system. And as Scott would often say, you know, you can tell, I mean, a system is, you know,
00:09:49.420the design of the system is what it does. Right. And so I think in many ways you can just look at
00:09:54.600it does and say well if they didn't like what it's doing then they wouldn't do it they would
00:09:58.360stop it and they're not so she's a novelist okay so this woman was on gutfeld a couple weeks ago
0.96
00:10:04.200i couldn't watch it i saw her um so she's a novelist apparently and has written books with
00:10:11.080like a conservative theme is what they're saying um but i just i love i just loved it i was just
00:10:19.880like yeah like piece it all together marcella you say what i think her name is from the chat lionel
00:10:29.720shriver or shriver however you pronounce that um you know i mean it's kind of obvious what
00:10:38.120they're trying to do with the system i don't even know if they're trying to hide it um
00:10:42.760And maybe, you know, I think the last time I heard one of the Democrats actually admit to it in regards to, well, this is going to cut into how many immigrants can become Democrats if you're, you know, basically deporting all of them.
00:11:05.000So it is what it is. The sign is destiny. As Owen said, you know, Scott would always say that. But yeah, I just wish actual liberals actually realized it. But maybe they do. Maybe they realize it and they like it and they want it.
00:11:23.120Yeah, I don't know. I think the census is really important that we count American citizens only because Beverly, you put it well. You said, where'd Beverly go? She said, they brought those illegals en masse to bump the population in certain areas to be counted in the next census to increase Dem seats in the House. Bank on it.
0.91
00:11:47.040yeah i mean it seems obvious you know no one's gonna exactly admit it but it seems obvious um
00:11:55.900okay so i just thought that was interesting and if anyone sees anything like that where i i'm like
00:12:01.980obsessed with i think my kink is watching people change their opinion about something that they
00:12:07.760they took a long time forming and a long time holding on to it and then they kind of come out
00:12:13.520of it. So if you guys ever come across stuff like that, please send it to me. I love that.
00:12:18.540Maybe we can feature it here because I want more people to understand that that is a superpower
00:12:23.700and a talent to be able to do and not to be afraid and not to think like, what will people say? It's
00:12:28.980okay to change your mind. I change mine constantly. So while we're waiting for Joel, one other clip I
00:12:35.960want to play to just kind of get a quick update from Trey Yankst on Fox News this morning.
00:12:43.240It's just a quick, I think like a minute clip or something, but let's get an update from Trey
00:12:48.640and then we're going to go right into talking about Iran, the three of us until Joel gets here.
00:12:53.420Okay, let's do it. The president was very clear when we spoke, nothing is off limits if the
00:12:58.500Iranians are unwilling to make a good faith deal. He's given them another olive branch,
1.00
00:13:02.440an opportunity at de-escalation, an off-ramp in this conflict, and they're getting hammered each and
00:13:07.320every day. On the battlefield, when we look at what's happened just over the past several weeks,
00:13:12.180the United States has systematically targeted the production lines of the Iranian regime.
00:13:16.640Iran can no longer produce the amount of ballistic missiles or drones that they could in the past.
00:13:21.240And even if the war were to end at this moment, the Iranian regime has already set back decades,
0.93
00:13:25.840and as the president told me, they're not even negotiating about their nuclear program anymore
00:13:30.240because most of it was decimated during Operation Midnight Hammer last summer.
00:13:34.580There have been new strikes against what's left of the program.
00:13:37.440There is still this issue of enriched uranium inside of Iran,
00:13:40.680but broadly speaking, the Iranians only have small bits of their military left
00:13:45.280that they can even negotiate, and that is why they're putting pressure on the Strait of Hormuz.
00:13:49.320And the president talked about this as well, how they can use these small boats
00:13:52.640and they can lay a single sea mine, and it can affect billions of dollars worth of international shipping.
00:13:57.840But this is what the Iranian regime does.
0.70
00:13:59.720They tried to hold the international and global economy hostage.
00:14:03.680And that's exactly what they are doing right now.
00:14:05.560And that's exactly, according to the president, why he is threatening to target the country's
00:14:09.940energy infrastructure if the Iranians do not make a deal.
00:14:13.860All right, Marcella, I'm going to come to you first on this one.
00:14:19.660So they have very little left to negotiate with.
00:14:48.580I know. So there is the down F-15 on Friday. Then they recovered the pilot. Then you have the rescue of the second WSO, which is the weapons system officer in the plane. The F-15 was down by Iranian forces.
00:15:10.000They don't know if it was a missile or someone on the ground that got it, hit it, and was able to, you know, force it down.
00:15:22.880Thankfully, they ejected and they were alive.
00:15:30.420The first, the pilot was rescued right away.
00:15:33.460um however the rescue of the pilot was also very iffy because the actual helicopter that rescued
00:15:41.640the pilot got hit also by iranian forces they themselves had to be rescued by a second helicopter
00:15:49.360and so there were wounded but not seriously and so then um then came but i mean the lesson is
00:15:58.680I guess, and then obviously the rescue of the WSO, the weapons systems officer that was announced on Saturday to Sunday, as, you know, as we know, Easter was coming.
00:16:12.220And it seemed very like it mimicked Easter, you know, Good Friday is when, you know, Jesus was finally laid to rest and we thought, OK, he's he's dead or whatever.
00:16:33.820The same thing happened with this W.S. officer, not to compare him to Jesus, but that is the idea is it kind of mimicked that.
00:16:42.320And so a lot of us thought that he was gone, you know, that we would just find his remains or Iran alleged that they had him.
00:16:52.180And there was a lot of misinformation, which we have now learned was also intentionally created by the U.S.
00:16:59.840the cia intentionally created uh lots of misinformation on the ground through the
00:17:06.220iranians um giving us the idea that there is iranian cia double agents i guess um and so
00:17:16.780they ended up trying to say um you know that the they have rescued him or that the iranians had
00:17:26.320him so it was just very lots of misinformation but anyway so then the rescue happens um and what
00:17:33.620i wanted to highlight is the difference in the administration so trump's administration
00:17:39.800obviously not to minimize rescuing the ws officer and the ws the wso actually surviving all of this
00:17:49.200for one uh one 24 hours or more he survived with no food no anything um when he ejected he said
00:18:00.140god is good yeah he was he's a true like christian believer and so i i i'm glad and i'm very happy
00:18:09.400that he survived he hid in a mountain um mountain area uh so that nobody could find him but i think
00:18:17.260I want to emphasize the difference between this administration and the Obama administration
00:18:24.120when it happened that there were attacks in Libya in September 11 of that year. Yeah,
00:18:32.900the 13 hours that they went through and we lost people there. They actually were abandoned
00:18:40.020in Libya without anybody bringing in forces so I will never forget that you know that's that's
00:18:47.280our theory leave no man behind you know don't leave your Americans behind and they were they
00:18:53.500were left to be brutally disgustingly murdered and there was no attempt to get them so yeah I
0.81
00:19:02.180agree Marcella I was thinking about that a lot and you know all that went into this rescue
00:19:09.320and how many other American military people put their lives in danger to do this.
00:19:16.500And like, that's just the best of America.
00:19:44.320Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and the rest of the family reunite
00:19:47.740in Malcolm in the Middle, Life's Still Unfair.
00:19:50.100After 10 years avoiding them, Hal and Lois demand Malcolm
00:19:53.100be at their anniversary party, pulling him straight back into their chaos.
00:19:57.040Malcolm in the Middle, Life's Still Unfair.
00:19:59.340A special four-part event, streaming April 10th on Hulu on Disney+.
00:20:02.800Regardless of what you think of President Trump,
00:20:08.780and his, you know, his political stance on anything, you realize that he does believe in
00:20:16.040in the in our soldiers in America, and that he will go, he will do whatever needs to do
00:20:24.020to rescue you. And he has done so for people that have like us, they've gone to another country and
00:20:32.020become hostages were not part of the military. And yet he's able to rescue them, able to negotiate
00:20:39.700their, them leaving without having to pay money in exchange for them. So I think that's, that's,
00:20:47.620I mean, it was amazing. Obviously it's not just president Trump, but the people that he puts
00:20:53.520in command, you know, to lead the troops. So President Trump in his truth post said,
00:21:02.100we got him. My fellow Americans over the past several hours, the United States military pulled
00:21:06.620off one of the most daring search and rescue operations in US history for one of our incredible
00:21:12.340crew member officers. We also happen to be a highly respected colonel and who I'm thrilled
00:21:17.860to let you know it's now safe and sound i mean it's a miracle um that we got for easter you know
00:21:25.360he is risen and so is this officer so and so is america because i think this and and owen can
00:21:35.480can chime in or erica you want to chime in if this officer would or colonel as we now know
00:21:42.860would have been taken by Iranian forces and taken hostage and tortured and so on and so forth.
00:21:49.740I think it would have changed the entire landscape of this war, even though it's only one American
00:21:57.000soldier, but it would have completely changed the dynamics, the leverage, everything.
00:22:01.680Of course. And Owen, what I want you... Thanks, Marcel. And what I want you to touch on too,
00:22:06.100it's like, people were all up in arms about this, post-Trump made and stupid Hakeem
00:22:12.560Jeffries was like, this is his Easter post. I'm like, that's not his Easter post. That wasn't for
00:22:16.960you. That was for Iran. There's no days off in a war. A lot of that was just, you know,
00:22:23.880baiting and, you know, like Allah. Yeah. It had nothing to do with any American. That was
00:22:30.540all like sarcasm, hyperbole, threats wrapped up in like, oh shit, I don't know what's going to
00:22:37.420happen? What the hell is bridge day and power plant day? Like it was like a whole gift wrapped
00:22:43.980in one. If I can add something in regards to that post. So later on, Trump did another post,
00:22:50.940which was after the rescue. He was, uh, he used the F word, um, open this effing straight,
00:22:59.580you crazy bastards. But my, my belief is that when he did that, he was actually angry.
00:23:05.580Um, because I think he realized how money, how Iranian, uh, the IRGC and the Iranian forces hate America because of the fact that he possibly had images of, of Iranians looking for the soldier.
00:23:23.520And I think he realized how dangerous, you know, he, it became palpable to him.
00:23:30.500And I think that's why he, he didn't, you know, he did it, uh, in, uh, through those, that filter.
00:23:38.500That's my belief in mind reading him in terms of the rescue.
00:23:42.960I would just say it's, it was incredible story.
00:23:45.060Maybe there'll be a movie made about it at some point because it reads like a movie plot.
00:23:48.560um you know the the officer apparently went over 100 miles or something to hide um and they had to
00:23:56.220go like over 100 miles to get him and back and um you know so he hid in some crevice and a ridge
00:24:02.300line and um you know they had the transponder that told them who he was and told them where he was
00:24:09.660but they used the cia to kind of misdirect people to a different area i think they probably had
00:24:14.740drones or other you know aircraft circling around some other area to try and make the
00:24:19.420Iranians think it was somewhere else to put cover in and so it definitely is a good demonstration
1.00
00:24:24.560of the power of the U.S. military and also our commitment to go after our soldiers and to do
00:24:30.860whatever we need to to not leave a man behind so I think all that's great I think the the post from
00:24:38.040Trump you know I think it is kind of like in just another example of people not understanding
00:24:44.340the situation or not understanding trump because to me it is a it's a persuasion post it was meant
00:24:51.980to try and get negotiations going um because it was this threat of saying you've got you know less
00:24:57.380than 48 hours and if you don't do this here's what's going to happen and time's running out
00:25:01.560kind of a tick tock sort of warning um that hey you better do something right now otherwise this
00:25:07.420is what's going to happen and um you know he used that strong language but um you know the his
00:25:14.240opposition were saying oh we need to impeach him he's a mad king and all these other stupid things
00:25:19.460and that's clearly not true um but i think the the intent of it might have been to give the enemy
00:25:28.080that impression that this guy might be crazy enough to knock out our power plants and um to
00:25:34.560really blast us back to the stone ages and they might have to start thinking about what would
00:25:38.840that look like and what would people think of them as the leadership that didn't make that stop
00:25:43.480and um so i think he has to say everything's on the table and i'm not going to back down and you
00:25:49.120know you've already seen that i don't bluff and so he has to take that position and i think we've
00:25:54.080seen that he's certainly willing to say i'll extend it another couple of days or another 10
00:25:58.620days whatever it is um so i i certainly think we've seen the pattern of behavior where he's
00:26:03.640not really a mad king where he's just going to do crazy stuff but he may come across that way to the
00:26:09.080enemy and that's what you want in war you want the enemy to think you're willing to do whatever you
00:26:14.880need to and whatever you want to and you're not going to back down and to say the only option is
00:26:19.780to surrender or to negotiate or to make some kind of deal and i you know it's just kind of baffling
00:26:26.780to me that people don't see that um i'm sure a lot of it is just they don't want to see it and
00:26:32.080they're just using it for political purposes. But to me, it was a clear military message. It was
00:26:38.980meant to communicate a message to Iran and to try and get them to negotiate and to come to some kind
00:26:46.380of deal. Yeah. I mean, I think if you want to, you know, American Debunk wrote like a really long
00:26:53.100Scott-esque take on Trump's tweet that people were losing their hair about. So if you want to read
00:27:01.520that, you guys. He's on X. He also has a sub stack. So if you want to put the Scott spin on
00:27:08.800it, maybe that's a part of what Scott might say. It was well thought out. We loved it.
00:27:16.600But also, war is hell. Trump's the master negotiator. He might say, I'll give you six
00:27:24.160days or a week and then bomb the shit out of you in four days. You're not supposed to really just
00:27:30.920lay out a plan for your massive enemies of exactly what's going to happen. But yeah, I'm sure he is
00:27:37.600pissed too. Like his numbers are plummeting. He knows the midterms are coming. He has a lot of
00:27:42.420pressure on him from a lot of people, but you're also so many lives are depending on this war with
00:27:49.380our military and the innocent civilians. And you're dealing with a very unhinged country in
00:27:56.760iran so i'm sure you get a little heated and you know and he's a he's a doer he's a doer so he's
00:28:03.440probably like look mother effers like i'm not kidding you know like this is going down yeah
00:28:10.760daddy's home i ain't sleepy joe biden and i'm not obama sending you money like i love america
00:28:17.020and i want this shit wrapped up before i'm out of here so remember that too you guys like everyone's
0.89
00:28:22.100like oh his poll numbers it's not he's out of here soon like okay you know what the left is saying
00:28:26.500which is crazy they're they're they're they're citing the 25th amendment saying that he's he's
00:28:33.660he's uh not not fit to to be president and that they should impeach him which is kind of um which
00:28:41.920should lead us to have republicans vote in the midterms because that's what we're gonna see
0.97
00:28:47.760we're gonna see impeachment again if we if yeah they wanted to impeach him for the 25th amendment
00:28:54.620when he drank his water using two hands on the cup.
00:29:23.560and i mean if that doesn't tell you where they stand on america i don't know what else can i mean
00:29:31.340like in in everybody in the chat on your platforms so give us a yes if you agree
00:29:40.460that like we should just be freaking done with nato or a no if you think nato's just great but
00:29:47.020yes that reminds you of a new york times story okay well let's get them going but you could
00:29:53.440the story so yes if you're done with nato no if you want to keep nato go ahead okay go ahead marcella
00:30:00.480so it you know you think i mean you think new york times is very um you know
00:30:09.680they say liberal um but you you they come from harbor they come from you know the the ivy league
00:30:16.720schools most of those writers but yet they posted a um somebody somebody cut off like somebody was
00:30:24.560reading the new york times and they took a picture of it in the on x and it said the north american
00:30:30.720treaty um the nato north american something treaty and it doesn't stand for north america at all
00:30:38.640so uh because it says something it was playing on words how does the how does nato exist without
00:30:45.040america and so north america treaty something something without america is not a treaty i just
00:30:52.100found it interesting well so what's your take on that owen because i just want to read something
00:30:57.740when when we have a second yeah i mean certainly the you know that was a big mistake for the new
00:31:02.840york times and it just speaks to the lack of talent and the lack of editorial capability that
00:31:06.900they have um maybe it's ai yeah i don't know but um you know it it i in terms of nato i i am on the
00:31:15.760side of i think it's outlived its purpose i think um you know to to me it's high time that that
00:31:22.480europe steps up to protect themselves and takes really at least their share of that and i know
00:31:29.200trump has done a lot to at least get more countries to contribute more financially to nato but
00:31:34.120troops wise military wise i don't really see much of anything and i'm not sure how well they're
00:31:39.120going to be able to do on their own but um it's at least made them realize how dependent they are
00:31:44.520on america for their defense and um you know i think they are looking to see you know what can
00:31:51.380they do and i think they're planning to start spending a lot more on defense going forward so
00:31:55.240they're already moving in that direction but um you know i i personally think it is a very one-sided
00:32:01.200thing it's kind of like we protect everybody else they don't even help when we ask them to
00:32:06.040and um so why would we stay in a treaty where the other side's not keeping their end of the bargain
00:32:12.240yep i i i all right so you guys it's way too long for me to read but i reposted on my timeline
00:32:20.140uh something that re fleischer wrote and let me just let me just try to summarize it he said
00:32:29.920uh my message here clearly struck a nerve a few friends from oh so all right let me tell you what
00:32:36.100his message was this is good this is all we need to know he said when this is over the western part
00:32:41.300of nato will never be the same spain england france and italy have sold us out as they too
00:32:46.780often have a history of doing eastern european nations are the heart of nato they spend money
00:32:52.960on defense know how to fight and love the u.s france particularly deserves fault and blame
00:32:59.000From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they're doing what they've always done, showing weakness while cutting deals with terrorists.
00:33:09.480The reason the U.S. has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France.
00:33:14.040We refuse to pay a ransom to the Barbary pirates.
00:35:31.520But I also wanted to say to Owen that because I'm looking at some of the comments, you know,
00:35:39.000this point here like this is this is i feel the same exact way ari also said in a response to this
00:35:45.600because this is pertaining to what you're saying and and i think you guys might agree the world is
00:35:51.140changing out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the
00:35:56.400importance of strength the uae kuwait saudi arabia israel and eastern europe will emerge stronger
00:36:02.580than ever western europe will continue to fall behind as for trump you don't have to like him
00:36:08.300He often says things none of his predecessors would say, but don't underestimate the fact that the U.S. taxpayers are fed up with nations that don't pull their weight and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran.
1.00
00:36:24.180Today's Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransom, trade, than support the U.S.
00:36:34.500the uk france spain and italy despite its prime minister have earned the consequences that will
00:36:40.500unfold they could have had could have and should have supported the u.s not as nato alliance but
00:36:46.280as individual free nations all we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields
00:36:52.460they've made their choices soon they'll see the results and i feel that way too and it's like
00:36:57.220nato aside why wouldn't you want to help the u.s you know so like you want all of our money and
00:37:04.260our support and when i mean the the countries you mentioned in western europe they don't act like
00:37:08.860they're our allies they don't act like they're our friends and um you know we still treat them
00:37:15.460like they're allies i think trump less so more recently but um you know it's not even just
00:37:21.460military it's also with all the censorship and going after our tech companies and um you know
00:37:28.120criticizing our politics and trying to interfere with our politics i know there were a lot of
00:37:32.700people from the uk over here trying to keep trump from getting elected like it's just left and right
00:37:38.040they're interfering with our things from their perspective they're not respecting our sovereignty
00:37:43.180they're not respecting that we are a much stronger partner in all these things and they're just kind
00:37:49.080of expecting to get special treatment just because what they have in the past and i think that's been
00:37:54.560a big mistake administrations is that they just kind of let the world just you know use us however
00:38:01.400they want. Yes. And we do everything for them, but they don't do anything for us. And they decide
00:38:06.060when they want to step in and only when they feel like it. Yeah. I just think like, you know,
00:38:11.340I'm not looking at it from like a news standpoint. I think most of us look at it from a pragmatic
00:38:17.460kind of just what are we doing? You know, what are we doing? Like, so because of traditions or,
00:38:23.760you know, EJ, I know this upsets you. I get it. But, you know, it's like the world's changing
00:38:30.280and you have to change with it um you know if if those nations don't want to be supportive to
00:38:38.480america you got to rethink your strategy so i like that trump formed the new coalition that i can
00:38:44.040never remember peace what's it called board of peace board of peace i can never remember the
00:38:49.260name like i i'm down with the board of peace like i'm all in for that because nato basically sucks
0.81
00:38:55.980And they're all like, you know, and didn't we just hear, I shouldn't blurt this out because I don't know the details, but that Obama has some kind of like back room channel to NATO to thwart everything Trump was doing.
00:39:11.080I just read about this, so I'm just putting that out there like a big matzo ball right now.
00:39:15.820But, um, yeah, so it's all, it's all BS. It's another club, you know, it's just like another
00:39:21.100club of grifters and, oh my God, where's my, my opinion sign. It's another club of grifters
00:39:29.080and people on the take and money laundering and blah, blah, blah. Okay. So let's get the board
00:39:36.120a piece where it seems like the focus of commerce is now in these other countries.
00:39:42.200And I think we need to do that. And I saw somebody write also that, uh, you know, Scott would say
00:39:49.460Russia, Russia's really like not our enemy. I mean, they're just another nation that loves
00:39:54.680their country. Yeah. They got their wacky ways of doing stuff, but it's, you know, like, where
00:40:00.420do you want to be not aligned, but who do you want to be working with in these situations?
00:40:04.300Um, I don't know. It's, it was so dark, hilarious callback to my meatballs. It's a giant matzo
00:40:11.800ball. If you know, you know. Okay, so let's wrap up, Iran. What else do you guys want to finish
00:40:18.020up about that? Square knows that in hospitality, efficiency is everything. That's why their system
00:40:26.340lets you take payments, track sales, handle inventory, manage staff, send invoices, and keep
00:40:31.480up with finances all in one place. Apply through orders with zero mistakes. Get the data you need
00:45:39.140But I mean, the same thing, I do believe in the system that we have.
00:45:44.180So regardless of where that system leads to in regards to somebody I don't like,
00:45:49.920i still believe the system needs to remain okay so marcella you're the person in 2023 that gets
00:45:56.500to decide do they get their green cards or not and you know that they're relatives yeah that's
00:46:01.760when they got the green cards under biden so do you give them their green cards it all depends
00:46:08.440on how they came in i i would not know how they came in under what program uh the they came in
00:46:14.660under a student visa in 2015 yeah but then how do you get from student visa to a permanent green
00:46:21.860card maybe it was through marriage biden said here's your green card again i would need to have
00:46:28.140more information and i could look into it further but that's that's what they would need to look
00:46:33.380into is how do they get permanent residence i feel very strongly about it you guys because
00:46:39.340i was a permanent resident then i became a u.s citizen for um a country to kick you out there
00:46:46.020has to be a reason for it and the reason to to say oh i support this and verbally say it and
00:46:55.340not actually do it you have freedom of speech and i think you shouldn't be able to be picky
00:47:00.840as a country you know so like i'm assuming you know your family wasn't some like terrorist
00:47:09.080bombing death to America cult. So I feel differently about you and most people, but
00:47:16.000Iran, there's a lot of countries in between Iran and America and a lot that they aren't screaming
00:47:22.400death to this country. Go to that country. That's all I'm saying. I think that there's exceptions
00:47:28.440to everything. It shouldn't be so black and white. I don't know if it's that black and white. I mean,
00:47:32.960i can't i can't imagine i just can't imagine americans citizens being okay with that you know
00:47:42.320of all the people that you want to accept and give green cards to it's not them there's a million
00:47:48.000other people that didn't grow up hating our country so i don't know i feel a lot of americans
00:47:55.600they hate america you know it's not like we're citizens well that's the thing like um when
00:48:02.960you're a permanent resident you're almost a citizen so there are certain rights that you have uh
00:48:08.640again the the right to freedom of speech you have and so i foresee there being issues in regards to
00:48:17.360them being imported now the secretary of state uh has certain powers um to be able to decide what
00:48:25.600that is and you know it's it's basically marco deciding that but you know i still believe in
00:48:34.480the system that we have and to have certain rules of law you know obviously i'm a lawyer
00:48:43.280So, you know, it'll all pan out if if they really are truly terrorist or terrorist adjacent, then they will they will be deported for the right reasons.
00:48:56.400Mm hmm. All right. So Marcella will look into it more.
00:48:59.300And, you know, Marcella won't become their attorney.
00:49:02.660Marcella has a unique perspective, one, because she's a legal immigrant, and also because she's
1.00
00:49:14.280an attorney. And third, because she lives in California. I always give you the California.
00:49:21.920So Marcella will look into it more. And it's so okay, you guys, to disagree with Marcella's
00:49:28.220opinion and you know maybe because i am a natural born citizen you know and i am like fully american
00:49:35.820i see it different who in this crowd has not had relatives they disagree with i mean exactly like
00:49:42.780sometimes we come from parents that are very liberal not that i did but i'm saying like
00:49:48.380you know you you're born into where you're born you don't decide you know and so
00:49:53.580i mean i i don't know just necessarily because my dad was this person then i become that person you
00:50:02.060know not necessarily because then they would have stayed behind in iran and being like served by all
00:50:07.660these servants and so on and so forth so i'm just like everybody out there whoever has relatives
00:50:14.780or who has parents that they don't get along with or or an uncle an aunt or whatever it's that's
00:50:20.860kind of like imagine yourself being judged by those people yeah but i gotta say okay so like
00:50:26.860if i'm having a house party and it's like hey come on in and then it's like hey listen like
00:50:33.420my whole family like just destroyed this other are you inviting your family i mean i'm gonna be
00:50:39.900like you know what there's other house parties you can go to and you're not coming in this one
00:50:44.860so like that's just how i feel about my country it's like listen go to another country you just
00:50:49.020don't have to come here i agree don't go back to iran no bueno for you but you can't come here
00:50:55.820that's all i'm saying i'm not saying they should go back to iran they just shouldn't come here
0.77
00:51:00.220oh my lord oh and so uh trump endorsed uh on that note trump endorsed steve hilton for california
00:51:07.580governor because some people are saying that me being from california is being held against me
00:51:13.580i always did that to scott and i always said it to marcella you guys for years and years
00:51:20.780scott and marcella in my opinion would have these like takes on things that i felt like the rest of
00:51:26.620the country didn't and i'm like is this like a california thing like you guys are on another
00:51:30.860planet so i always have to inject the california because
00:51:35.660well california is a state and um and trump endorsed steve hilton california um it is also
00:51:47.100a disability that i learned right now that i am california disabled um and that trump at one
00:51:56.220like 1 30 in the morning he never sleeps i i want his energy i mean he his birthday's gonna come up
00:52:04.380soon he's in his almost 80s you know and he i i just want his energy like that that's one thing
00:52:12.860but he he was you know i could picture him with his phone like you know not that he probably does
00:52:19.500it with his phone but i could just see him like okay and now i'm gonna endorse him i'm gonna
00:52:23.100endorse him so he endorsed steve hilton who probably some of you know was a fox news uh
00:52:29.660He had a contributor and he had a show on Fox news on the weekends.
00:52:34.660And, um, basically he said that, you know, because California is done for people are
00:52:41.660fleeing, crime is increasing, taxes are the highest of any state in the country.
00:52:55.660of california for many years he's truly a fine man one who has watched at this once great state
00:53:01.580has gone has gone to hell gavin gavin gavin new scum new scum he's new scum not old scum okay
0.99
00:53:19.500and the americas have done an absolutely horrendous job people are fleeing crime is
00:53:24.860and crazy i already read that steve can turn it around before it's too late and as president i
00:53:30.060will help him to do so with federal help okay um and a great governor like steve hilton california
00:53:39.420can be better than ever before steve hilton has my complete and total endorsement and as some of you
00:53:44.860know um he'll be he'll make great governor and and will never let you down but as some of you
00:53:51.420president Donald J. Trump, as some of you know, Steve Hilton is also an immigrant. He's from
00:53:57.580England originally, I think. Yeah, he has the UK. Yeah, UK. And so he has a different perspective
00:54:12.060than your American born governor. So he he chose California. He chose America,
00:54:21.100And so he wants to better California. Now, I was telling Erica earlier in the green room, as we would call it, that this is not good for Steve Hilton to be endorsed by Trump in California, that this is probably going to lead to possibly him not being elected.
00:54:42.860Although he is number one right now in the polls, as well as Chad Bianco, who I know, he is also a Republican candidate for governor, and he is also number two.
00:55:02.280so how it would work and joel has talked about it too bad that joel couldn't be here right now
00:55:07.280but he talked about how there could be two republicans running um for the for the candidacy
00:55:14.780for governor yeah i think the way the process works is whoever is that are the top two get
00:55:19.860under the final ballot and then yes it's based on that top two so um i think part of the issue
00:55:27.300on the democrat side is there's something like six different democrats running so they're splitting
00:55:31.320their vote between all of them and i don't think i even want to drop out um eric swallows in there
00:55:37.400is adam schiff also running i don't remember but yeah swallow might be done now yeah i don't know
00:55:44.480i mean he certainly has a lot of scandals hitting them we'll talk about it tomorrow that's
00:55:47.880interesting but i think you know he he has his um residency scandal he's got the fang fang thing
0.76
00:55:53.500where there may be some documents released and he's got questions about his campaign finances
00:55:58.020ladies man the third person in in in the running is katie porter oh and then there's eric swalbo
00:56:05.840and then there's uh tom steyer um isn't katie porter the one that had the meltdown in their
0.96
00:56:14.960interview yeah she's screaming yeah she's i thought her name was karen
0.95
00:56:19.840may as well be but yeah i i think uh you know they all have problems that on that side and i
00:56:27.920think that's part of the issue but i think it's also that they can't get their crap together to
00:56:32.960decide who they're going to run because if they had won they probably would be in the top two
00:56:37.100but um you know if they stick with it and fight each other to the end then that might be the
00:56:43.340perfect result and we'll end up with a republican governor and i don't know if that's exactly why
00:56:47.460reagan was able to win but um it may be a repeat of that where you end up with a republican
00:56:53.200governor just because the democrats keep fighting each other the democrats yeah and these are like
00:57:01.120a lot of the democrat politicians are the designated liars so it's interesting most of
00:57:08.300them do seem to come from california um yeah i just wanted to to add um well not to this story
00:57:15.680i'm going to the next one artemis 2 does a moon flyby today so they're gonna get they're gonna
00:57:22.560be the furthest out than any other humans ever um even compared to apollo 13 and they're gonna
0.97
00:57:29.520there's gonna be a press conference today at 1 p.m let's go east coast time at the same time
00:57:35.200I think President Trump is speaking in the press with the press secretary.
00:59:01.520But I think, you know, there's certainly plenty of conspiracy theories around this whole thing.
00:59:06.040And the fun one to me was a recent one where they said that they had trained all these astronauts to take good notes by observing things because apparently they don't have good enough cameras to capture the dark side of the moon.
00:59:20.280So they're just going to be looking at it like they're looking at a basketball at arm's length.
00:59:24.680that's the size of the moon from where they're going to be and they're just going to be observing
00:59:28.620the dark side of the moon and taking good notes and i just thought that was ridiculous it's like
00:59:33.980what do you mean you don't have good enough cameras come on there's got to be some technology
00:59:37.860there where you could just snap a bunch of good it's like a fbi flyby we just take notes we don't
00:59:42.800record anything we're just taking notes really no no no uh no footage well i don't know there
00:59:49.420may be pictures there may be video you know i don't know what time of day it is and how much
00:59:53.600sunlight's going to be hitting the dark side of the moon. Cause it's not really a dark side. It's
00:59:57.120just the backside. Like there, you know, depending on the time of day, there is sunlight that would
01:00:01.160hit it. But, um, you know, it's, it's just kind of ridiculous to me that they would even say that,
01:00:06.940but they would even say we trained our astronauts to take good notes so they can just, you know,
01:00:12.160tell us what it looked like as opposed to actually seeing it. God bless. I mean, listen,
01:00:17.080I hope it's all true. And I hope, I hope everything, I hope everything, I hope it's
01:00:22.220great. I hope we can go there. I hope I can move there one day soon, honestly, and that it's a lot
01:00:28.460more like America than America. I'm ready to go to the moon. So send me Elon, send me NASA.
01:00:33.240So, so get to, uh, get an iPad, uh, get two iPads or two screens because you're going to be
