00:00:58.120 okay okay you guys well actually i should say this you guys i'm going to give you a preview

00:01:06.500 this is a first time ever heard preview while you guys are filing in of a new akira the dawn song

00:01:14.740 that he gave me to play for you and we'll talk more about it in a second but check it out it's

00:01:20.660 called whoops my thing is loud over here it's called we all have problems but listen to this

00:01:26.720 all right here's one that's more about uh just not this one's very relevant to me

00:01:32.360 the usual old frame is that if you're having some bad luck you think that you're unusually

00:01:44.280 unlucky because it happened to you you think of all the things that could happen to anybody

00:01:50.300 And then you think, oh, man, why are all these things happening to me?

00:01:56.400 Why me?

00:01:57.820 Why do I have all these problems?

00:02:00.380 That's the old way of thinking.

00:02:03.480 Here's the reframe.

00:02:06.440 Reframe is everyone has problems.

00:02:10.300 Everyone has problems.

00:02:20.300 Everyone has problems.

00:02:22.980 We all have problems.

00:02:25.420 Yes, we all have problems.

00:02:28.240 Yes, we do.

00:02:30.840 Yes, we do.

00:02:33.000 Great wonder song.

00:02:34.620 Everyone has problems.

00:02:36.120 Everyone has problems.

00:02:37.180 Just the fact that you don't know somebody else's problem,

00:02:40.040 that's pretty gutsy of you to think that your problem is bigger than ours.

00:02:45.600 You don't know their problems.

00:02:47.620 You don't know anything about people's problems.

00:02:50.300 the really big ones

00:02:52.420 they keep to themselves

00:02:53.380 sometimes you see it as a physical thing

00:02:56.520 like in my case

00:02:57.340 but generally speaking

00:02:59.480 people's battle is inside their head

00:03:02.800 and that can be

00:03:04.660 quite a fierce battle

00:03:05.580 you don't know what's going on in there

00:03:06.840 so the moment you think

00:03:09.300 why me, why me

00:03:11.000 the reframe is

00:03:13.500 everybody's got problems

00:03:15.240 you don't have the special problems

00:03:17.860 you don't have the special problems

00:03:19.180 We all have problems, yes we all have problems, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do.

00:03:29.240 Everyone has problems.

00:03:30.960 We all have problems, yes we all have problems, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do.

00:03:49.180 everyone has problems everyone has problems everyone has problems everyone has problems

00:04:11.580 let's go akira thank you akira for letting us play that for everybody it's not available yet

00:04:17.020 but you guys got to hear it first. And here's a little teaser. Akira will be back on with us

00:04:24.380 soon. Okay. I have another song right in here. It's definitely my fave. I can't play it yet,

00:04:31.500 but I'm going to tease it out to you. It'll come along soon, but I'm parched. I need a sip of

00:04:37.380 coffee. I took a baby sip. Someone gave me permission at some point. I took advantage.

00:04:41.400 Let's go. Well, I think it's time. We have enough people here and it's time for the best part of

00:04:46.420 the day, the simultaneous sip, and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank

00:04:49.700 or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with

00:04:55.000 your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the

00:04:59.840 dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called

00:05:05.460 the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Yup. Before and after, you can almost

00:05:15.320 feel it. Before the simultaneous sip, the day was okay. But after? Oh, after. Much, much better.

00:05:27.560 Yeah. Improving all the time. All right. So if we look different, you guys. Hi, I'm Erica.

00:05:32.300 I'm with, wait, I'm with Marcella. Nope. You guys, you know, we're all backwards. I'm with

00:05:37.760 Marcella and Owen. You're at the Scott Adams School. It's June 1st and it's a Monday,

00:05:43.520 2026 we are ready to go owen you are being accused of not having rhythm

00:05:49.200 i uh plead guilty although actually i've been i've been told that my family does have the

00:05:56.540 music genes so i've never been much of a musician i played around trying to learn guitar but

00:06:01.660 otherwise um i do have musicians in my family and um and my son was a drummer so he certainly

00:06:09.360 has the rhythm and uh i don't know about dancing but you know i think we do have some musical

00:06:15.460 capability in my family the rhythm's gonna get you so soon soon owen we need to see you moving

00:06:21.340 gracie i think you said it she's like owen has no rhythm as we're dancing along

00:06:27.840 uh so welcome you guys i have a coffee update for you i am in my effort of um trying to be

00:06:36.480 more like owen i have succumbed to dr drew and owen's suggestion i've started with creatine

00:06:44.720 and my coffee or gain if you want to sponsor this come on over um so i picked it up from costco it's

00:06:52.240 big and i tried it yesterday for the first time i can tell you guys it's a little scoop of the

00:06:57.840 brightest whitest powder i'm a little bit obsessed with how white and bright it is

00:07:02.320 no taste no flavor no weirdness my coffee tastes exactly the way i want it to exactly the same so

00:07:10.140 if anybody wants to try it and you're like uh i don't know if i want my coffee put it in your

00:07:14.320 coffee you'll never know so um but coincidentally um owen you had a creatine news story today and

00:07:22.100 i said oh yes let's do it i want to know what i'm in for let me find it all right yeah so i think um

00:07:30.480 So the story's headline is that the scientists have found that a lot of people take creatine

00:07:37.940 for muscle gains because it's known as a muscle building supplement because it gives more

00:07:41.740 energy to your cells and your muscles to be able to maybe do a better workout.

00:07:45.480 But they found that it actually is raising brain energy levels and slowing early Alzheimer's

00:07:50.720 cognitive decline by 30%.

00:07:52.560 So in their controlled trials, they showed that the cognitive decline was 30% slower,

00:07:58.580 I suppose. And then it goes into kind of what they think is going on. But essentially, I think

00:08:03.800 it's kind of back to what Scott would say about your brain is your body, your body is your brain.

00:08:07.840 And it's kind of the same. I mean, if you give more energy to your cells and you give more energy

00:08:11.660 to your brain cells, then your brain cells will perform better. So it's a similar thing. But I

00:08:17.920 think it is a more recent finding of the mental cognitive benefits. And as I was mentioning when

00:08:23.020 when Dr. Drew was on, they typically say you need to go higher on the dosage with creatine

00:08:28.400 to get those mental benefits. So the typical daily dose, once you've done an initial loading

00:08:33.740 phase for muscle building would be like five grams, which I think is the standard, you know,

00:08:39.200 what you see on the package in terms of how much it tells you to take. You'll see the five grams

00:08:43.320 somewhere on the, on the top, you know, in the front there. But if you want the mental benefits,

00:08:49.020 I think it's typically recommended you go up to maybe 10 or 15 or 20 and I would caution you there

00:08:54.520 there can be some digestive adjustment needed for that like don't take 20 grams all at once

00:08:59.820 especially if you've never taken it before um but you know you can build your way up to it and your

00:09:04.560 body kind of adapts to it so I think you know you could either just say I don't you know I don't care

00:09:08.580 about speeding the benefits the most possible and just take five grams a day or 10 grams a day and

00:09:13.720 just let it build up but there is a there is this initial period where your cells kind of get

00:09:17.980 saturated with however much it can hold of creatine. And so typically it would take two

00:09:22.860 or three weeks to notice like the muscle benefits. And I'm guessing probably the same with the brain

00:09:26.780 benefits. But once you get there, you don't have to keep taking mega doses, but it does seem like

00:09:33.080 it has a lot of mental benefits. I know there was a separate story I think I posted a few weeks ago

00:09:36.800 or longer that talked about how creatine can also compensate for lack of sleep, that if you don't

00:09:43.080 get enough sleep and you take creatine, it can kind of make you better. Oh, I don't sleep at

00:09:48.960 all. Um, so this is good. This is good news. So yes, I got this one at Costco. The brand is

00:09:55.100 Orgain and I just happen to like Orgain as a brand. I like their, um, protein, uh, powders

00:10:01.220 too for shakes. So, um, I'm looking swollen. Oh no. Um, so that was funny to read. Okay. So,

00:10:11.180 I am not going to do any kind of like, you know, heavy dosing on load. I'll just do the five

00:10:16.800 for a while and take it from there because I'm changing up a few things. So look, a lot of you

00:10:23.220 have the same exact one. Yay. All right, good. We're doing it together. Probably a lot of Costco

00:10:28.240 people in the crowd. Yeah. Marcella, are you going to get on the creatine kick? No, but what I,

00:10:36.200 sorry, what I was going to say is, as a, as your attorney in the group, uh, you know, each to each

00:10:43.000 person, they would have to check with their doctor and it's up to you to take it. So you don't.

00:10:49.320 Yes. It's not medical advice. I would just mention that the medical science does say that creatine

00:10:55.560 is probably one of the most researched supplements and it does work for probably almost all people.

00:11:01.900 and it may not work on everyone. So you may say, Oh, I tried it. It didn't do anything, but

00:11:07.460 that's probably true with every supplement. So yeah, sure. Talk to your doctor. We're not making

00:11:11.780 medical advice here, but it is, it is known as a pretty safe and effective supplement.

00:11:17.940 All right. 100% noted Marcella. This is just what I'm doing and I'm just doing it because

00:11:24.600 Owen's doing it. So, so if anything goes wrong, you know, I'll just shift the blame over to Dr.

00:11:35.020 Drew. Let's blame Dr. Drew. He's got insurance for this. Don't we love Dr. Drew? He's so great

00:11:45.680 coming on. He's so busy and to just come on with us and he'll be back. He'll be back that I know

00:11:51.640 for sure all right so i really want to hang out with the chat today if you guys don't mind and

00:11:56.840 can we get my little stories out of the way first do you guys care owen and marcella go for it all

00:12:03.320 right good so this is a very quick clip that i'm going to create a new segment now called suicidal

00:12:13.240 Empathy. Okay. So this is what suicidal empathy looks like in Paris in the spring.

00:12:43.240 good times good times so um yeah just to be clear i think that i believe what i heard about that

00:12:51.860 particular story was because i think there was a rumor that like oh the eiffel tower's on fire

00:12:56.360 but no it's not it's made of metal it doesn't catch fire easily oh yeah no it was at the bottom

00:13:01.400 i think that was after a big soccer match where somebody you know and apparently it's i guess

00:13:10.340 sort of a tradition in soccer that people riot after these things and they'll set cars on fire

00:13:15.220 and they'll do things so i think it's kind of part of the soccer culture more than anything else

00:13:19.620 i mean this various it was i mean this happened in 1998 as well when france the world cup

00:13:26.340 was in france and french uh hooligans and so there was it was psg won arsenal psg is a french group

00:13:37.140 they want the European Cup and I don't want to say this but but Arsenal fans as well as PSG fans

00:13:48.660 are known for this especially yeah you'll watch more clips and I'll post more later on my channel

00:13:54.420 it wasn't really wasn't the fans what went among it was beyond but it was bad it was bad um so that

00:14:03.240 my suicidal empathy clip. Actually, here's another one. Here's another one. So as you guys know,

00:14:09.180 there's all sorts of nonsense. It's very much out of control here in New Jersey. And

00:14:15.460 so there's a ICE detention facility called Delaney Hall in Newark. And I don't know,

00:14:24.800 there's people there, they're, they're the very, very well-organized paid protesters who

00:14:32.560 don't give an S all they want to do is make a paycheck, create a riot. They're getting paid by,

00:14:39.940 I don't know who, I can't say for sure, but so they're upset that the people that are in ICE

00:14:47.020 custody are not allowed to see their families, that they're, you know, they're on a hunger strike

00:14:52.260 because they don't like the food and whatever, whatever.

00:14:56.540 I mean, it doesn't even matter to me at this point,

00:14:59.120 but what matters is that this is, again, organized, paid for.

00:15:04.700 And by the way, this could be a solution for people

00:15:07.220 that might lose their jobs over AI.

00:15:09.200 You could become paid protesters, so there is a big market for that.

00:15:13.260 But it's insane what's been happening there.

00:15:15.800 I don't even know how many weeks it's been,

00:15:17.200 but here's a little update from yesterday.

00:15:22.260 that's just some of what we saw last night and it's at least maybe two dozen arrests and counting

00:15:31.020 authorities used tear gas to clear the crowd while dhs tells fox there's zero tolerance for rioters

00:15:37.460 here and they finally have that extra assistance they kept calling for the newark police the state

00:15:41.720 police well now they finally have some backup police took over the security operations there

00:15:45.980 outside of delaney hall's ice facility after more than a week of chaos video there shows

00:15:50.700 PROTESTORS STARTING FIRES IN THE

00:15:52.740 ROAD.

00:15:53.160 I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT THIS.

00:15:54.400 I WAS LOOKING AT IT OVER THE

00:15:55.700 WEEKEND ON X AND I'M THINKING

00:15:56.700 WHAT IS GOING ON?

00:15:57.700 THEY STARTED THIS BIG BLAZE

00:15:58.700 THERE WITH ALL THIS TRASH THAT

00:15:59.700 WAS IN THE ROAD.

00:16:00.700 THEY WERE SHOVING THE FENCES

00:16:02.700 BACK AS OFFICERS TRIED TO MOVE

00:16:03.700 IN AND STOP THE CROWD FROM

00:16:05.700 MOVING IN TOWARD THE DELANEY

00:16:06.700 HALL ICE DETENTION FACILITY.

00:16:07.700 BECAUSE OF THAT VIOLENCE,

00:16:08.700 FAMILY VISITS TO THE FACILITY 1.00

00:16:10.700 FOR THE MIGRANTS INSIDE WERE 0.99

00:16:12.700 PAUSED. 0.93

00:16:14.700 SO THAT'S JUST SOME OF WHAT WE

00:16:19.700 SAW LAST NIGHT.

00:16:20.700 So it's just been nonstop. And Beverly, I know you're with me. Yes, Kevin, New Jersey is disgusting in that type of instance. But Beverly, you and I were getting upset because just two nights ago, they were attacking the police horses and police officers and everything else.

00:16:44.260 luckily none of the horses were hurt that's just where i'm at now because i i can't even

00:16:49.340 wrap my head around the riots the people why aren't they being locked up put in jail drop a

00:16:56.220 bomb do something so i don't know who wants to take this story first with me or have an opinion

00:17:02.180 about it owen or marcella if you've looked into anything first since it is new jersey i blame you

00:17:07.000 because it's your state so you're supposed to keep these people under i blame andy

00:17:12.360 but um no i but i i think yeah it does look very organized and well-funded i know there's been a

00:17:18.360 lot of coverage where nick sorter went undercover and went through a training course and saw how

00:17:23.160 organized that was and had gotten some venmo information about how people contribute to it

00:17:27.800 and they were asking for things to get like military spec goggles and um other like riot gear

00:17:34.440 sort of equipment and so they were definitely gearing up for a fight to like resist tear gas

00:17:39.960 and do the things that would only be relevant if you were going to be violent so they were clearly

00:17:44.460 planning to be violent and obviously it does mean there's a lot of money behind this there's a lot

00:17:49.940 of organization behind this I think Nick also identified the person that was behind it and

00:17:54.960 dug into some of the financial records and showed that there was like three different organizations

00:17:59.600 that this person was involved with or leading and one of them was an NGO where apparently the

00:18:05.080 reports show that they don't pay anybody anything which is suspicious in itself it's like wait a

00:18:11.100 second what's really going on there and then there was another NGO or something that she was involved

00:18:16.860 with that does show people getting paid but it does seem like they're essentially well-funded

00:18:20.980 and this is an organized thing and certainly the government the governor and all that are

00:18:26.120 seemingly behind the protests. And I think they declared some kind of victory recently about

00:18:31.920 getting visitation rights to the migrants. And I think the response was, you created this problem

00:18:37.180 and now you're saying you solved it. They had visitation rights before. We only stopped it

00:18:40.780 because of the rioting. And so you're now saying, hey, we won just because they went back to having

00:18:47.600 the same thing they had before. So it's kind of ridiculous. And I think it is all performative. 0.97

00:18:52.400 They're just trying to put on a show and they're trying to show resist, you know, resistance against ice. And I think it's just the latest in that sort of vein. You know, they used to be doing it in Chicago area and other places wherever ice would show up. They're just trying to put on their their show to show that they're resisting it.

00:19:07.580 And now all the politicians are shuffling in to get their moment in front of the facility.

00:19:12.080 You know, we had Timu Obama come in and make his little statement.

00:19:17.260 And it's just like, you know, you're not helped.

00:19:18.980 None of you are helping.

00:19:19.740 And by the way, I haven't seen Cory Booker talking about this.

00:19:24.060 And Newark is his zone.

00:19:26.540 And yes, we have another horrendous governor, Mikey Sherrill.

00:19:33.800 all she cares about is going against trump and being woke and i'm like what is what are you doing

00:19:39.620 like we got to get over the anything the republicans do will do the opposite it's just

00:19:45.560 hey marcella what do you think about all of this nonsense here to be honest they i mean they're

00:19:52.680 like theater kids they they just it's just an act um they want to put a performance on i don't even

00:20:00.340 think the rioters are real rioters. They look like children. They look like, not that I know

00:20:07.880 what a rioter is, but I mean, it just seems like they are just playing a part in order to get

00:20:14.260 their side and get funding. So some of the, because I looked into who is behind those groups

00:20:22.520 and they have different groups. The New Jersey Alliance for Immigration Justice is one of them,

00:20:28.140 eyes on eyes on ice new jersey american friends service committee first friends of new jersey in

00:20:35.740 new york there's a lot of new jersey immigration uh ngos i guess or non-profits uh resistencia

00:20:46.780 resistance in action in spanish um they seem all well funded and well organized there always

00:20:55.180 have been um when i've dealt with them before in the past um not necessarily these groups but

00:21:02.380 they've always been very well funded yeah um and you want to know why what is the purpose of the

00:21:12.160 funding what what what do they want because when and sorry to go on a tangent when obama and the

00:21:20.800 Democrats control Congress, control the Senate. They never changed the immigration laws to allow

00:21:26.220 these people in. They always wanted to keep them kind of like last week, I think Owen talked about 0.98

00:21:34.000 H-1B visas. They wanted to keep them in a certain state so that, in my opinion, that they could not

00:21:41.200 get legal status, but stay here illegally, and so they are cheaper labor. That's how I see it,

00:21:49.820 because they had the chance. They had the entire, and I think under Biden, am I wrong,

00:21:56.520 that he was in control of Congress as well, the Democrats. But anyways, they never did anything

00:22:03.340 in regards to immigration laws. And now they're just like theater kids and trying to make this

00:22:11.240 a huge deal. And it's not. Yeah. And it's not making anybody sympathetic to their fake ploy.

00:22:18.380 It's making us just say, you know what, just get everybody out.

00:22:21.500 Just get everybody out.

00:22:22.460 Get the rioters out.

00:22:23.920 Get everybody out.

00:22:24.700 It's creating less tolerance.

00:22:26.900 So I don't really understand the psychology behind it either.

00:22:30.940 And, you know, if Nick Sorter said, like, you know, he knows who's funding some of it, I'm sure the FBI knows because I think they said they know.

00:22:40.100 What are we doing?

00:22:41.300 Again, you know, we're going to sit and wait.

00:22:43.820 I do think I understand some of it.

00:22:45.820 I think the objectives that I see is number one, they're trying to get people upset so that they

00:22:50.720 show up for the midterms. They're trying to show that, or in their minds, they want it to look

00:22:56.660 chaotic. They want it to look like there's lots of violence, there's lots of disorder, there's lots

00:23:01.780 of inappropriate or bad things that Trump is doing. And they have to keep that in the headlines

00:23:07.120 to motivate people to be angry so that they'll show up and vote against Trump and against the

00:23:12.820 Republicans. So I think that's clearly one of the objectives. And then I think beyond that,

00:23:16.520 in terms of immigration, yeah, they want those people to stay. They want those people to count

00:23:22.680 for electoral representation. And so if we get rid of millions and millions of people out of

00:23:28.660 these blue states, they get less representatives in Congress and it gets reallocated to other

00:23:33.200 states or, you know, relatively speaking, they lose power. And so I think there are those dual

00:23:38.780 objectives. And I think it's pretty clear that that's what they're about. I think some of them

00:23:41.820 may have at least somewhat admitted it at different times but they certainly try not to talk about

00:23:46.720 that part of it but i think that's what's going on and um besant i think is trying to attack this

00:23:51.440 from the standpoint of saying they're changing the rules so that any ngos have to know who their

00:23:57.480 donors are and i think that's a first step to hold those donors accountable all right so violence

00:24:03.560 i should be like nascar drivers or like f1 drivers where they need to have who sponsors them on their

00:24:10.640 yeah to wear patches and their masks have to say who their things are i like that marcella that's

00:24:15.760 good um so i also wonder why aren't we just funneling these people right onto a bus and right

00:24:24.540 to jail um and my other question is did we talk about this before isn't i feel like maybe marcella

00:24:32.640 you said no or somebody said no but isn't antifa a terrorist organization

00:24:36.940 i thought well none of them are antifa none of them are antifa they're all immigration so i read

00:24:47.180 to you all the groups that are part of this none of them are under the organization of antifa

00:24:53.920 there is there is um antifa does exist but none of these groups are antifa related

00:25:04.900 um they're all immigration related they are no i think the groups might be immigration related

00:25:11.540 but i feel like the the members are antifa the people doing the rioting well i'm sure that they

00:25:19.540 get in there and that they want to create uh because a lot of these groups some of these

00:25:24.820 groups and i don't want to say good stuff about them but some of these groups do mean well

00:25:28.900 they want to help immigrants and you know suicidal empathy kind of stuff but they're not

00:25:35.860 violent like antifa so there may be some antifa writers in there trying to push this into violence

00:25:44.260 like owen said to make trump look authoritarian and the republicans look like oh we're dictators

00:25:52.900 we're in a dictatorship kind of thing so maybe you are on to something erica maybe they are showing

00:25:59.140 up no i i think they're there yeah um i i mean i'm not really yeah i was all right so like some

00:26:05.700 people are saying like sandy said you know they they're probably not going to wear their antifa

00:26:10.340 insignia on them because why would you announce like hey the terrorists are here but um someone

00:26:16.740 else said black block was there i'm going to look into it more i've really been trying to avoid it

00:26:21.220 it because i should go down there i mean i should if like 30 gigantic navy seals want to come with

00:26:28.800 me i'll go um i mean i i am curious but i don't like to go to newark on a regular day so let

00:26:35.840 alone with this nonsense but um if i have to i'll send andy okay so listen i would just throw in yes

00:26:43.760 trump did designate antifa as a domestic terrorist organization he signed an executive order last

00:26:48.480 year on that. But I think it also, according to Grok at least, doesn't really have a lot of legal

00:26:54.320 force. It doesn't really mean anything. There's no law that says we can have a list of domestic

00:26:58.760 terrorist organizations or do something because they're on the list. I think it's different for

00:27:02.660 foreign terrorist organizations where you can actually drone them like Obama did and all sorts

00:27:07.260 of things. So I think it has more effect when you have foreign terrorist organizations rather than

00:27:13.440 domestic. But that doesn't mean you can't go after domestic terrorists. I mean, the FBI does that all

00:27:17.440 the time. So I don't know that you really need a separate designation to do that.

00:27:21.720 I'm getting a lot of support for going there. People that will bail me out of jail. People

00:27:25.840 that, you know, it's very nice. Yeah. Even Andy. So, okay. And then that brings me to that point,

00:27:32.320 same thing. Oh, and so if they are domestic terrorists, these people now, like what they're

00:27:36.740 doing, I mean, you can't attack police and police horses and not go to jail. I mean,

00:27:42.680 I mean, you can obviously, but you can't. So when do we act like we are following the laws? Is this

00:27:51.600 just up to Governor Sherrill or is this more federal? I don't know. I don't know. I'm very

00:27:56.660 confused. I mean, I think the police do report locally to the local and state people. So I think

00:28:02.680 a lot of those people would be following the orders they were given from their leadership.

00:28:06.340 And I think in this case, because they're liberal, democratic, progressive type leadership,

00:28:10.980 they're probably telling him stand down don't arrest people don't do this don't lock them up

00:28:15.280 you know and so i think that's the problem i think if if they are committing some kind of federal

00:28:19.960 crime then maybe the ice agents could arrest them and they probably should and i'm guessing they

00:28:24.020 would but i think um to the stamp to the extent that they're facing a line of local police you

00:28:31.900 know that that may be a different story in terms of the orders they were given and we saw that all

00:28:35.180 the way back to 2020 when police were kind of just given stand down orders or they were selectively

00:28:40.340 told to arrest the right-leaning side that might be counter-protesting, but not the left-leaning

00:28:45.540 side. And so I think it's largely political in terms of what guidance is given to them.

00:28:51.840 And unfortunately, in a lot of these blue cities, they get guidance that doesn't make any sense

00:28:55.380 whatsoever. I just, I feel like your basic, I feel like your basic Americans want to just

00:29:04.460 live in peace and not be afraid to be out on the streets and walk around. And I really feel like

00:29:11.160 that's such an easy thing to fix. If that's the goal of everybody, you know, in office and service

00:29:19.480 and enforcement, but it's clearly not because I don't know, we're nuts. All right. So I'll keep

00:29:27.000 my eye on that too. I really didn't even want to pay attention to it, you guys, because I'm just

00:29:32.280 like I am disgusted with New Jersey. It's such a beautiful, amazing state and it has just been

00:29:37.900 run into the ground with trash politicians. So it's, um, it's sad for me. I've been born and 0.98

00:29:44.780 raised here. I've been here my entire life on the Jersey shore. So I'm not near that. A couple of

00:29:49.920 people are like, are you okay? I'm nowhere near that. So I'm okay. Thank you. I promise I am okay.

00:29:55.840 um all right so my other story that i want to talk about is sort of related to this

00:30:01.960 and we'll see where this goes but let's just watch this uh clip and then marcella i'll come

00:30:07.660 to you first on the other side of this okay here we go massive cheating that's gone on

00:30:13.120 and so we're going to be signing an executive order it's i believe it's foolproof and maybe

00:30:19.920 it'll be tested maybe it won't i think it's very obvious what's said and i'll ask will

00:30:24.560 Scharf to start off, attorney, a great talent, a very brilliant young man, and if you could

00:30:31.220 discuss it.

00:30:32.220 And then I'm going to ask Howard Lutnick to say a few words, and then I'm going to sign

00:30:35.220 it.

00:30:36.220 And we'll take a couple of questions.

00:30:37.220 Okay?

00:30:38.220 Thank you.

00:30:39.220 Mr. President, as you said, you have in front of you an executive order that deals with

00:30:41.380 a number of issues relating to election integrity.

00:30:44.680 As you've consistently identified, two of the biggest problems we have with election

00:30:48.380 integrity in this country are, one, inaccurate voter rolls that allow ineligible people to

00:30:54.060 vote in various federal and state elections all over the country, and secondarily you've

00:30:58.420 consistently identified that vote by mail in this country has become rife with fraud.

00:31:04.180 People returning ballots who aren't eligible to return ballots, ballots being sent to people

00:31:09.620 who aren't confirmed to be eligible voters.

00:31:12.020 So what this executive order is going to do is, one, we're going to take federal data,

00:31:16.520 we're going to ensure that each state's election officials are provided with a comprehensive

00:31:21.300 view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify

00:31:27.580 that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote, and then it orders the

00:31:33.000 Postmaster General and the U.S. Postal Service to take bold new measures to verify that ballots

00:31:39.800 both being sent to people are being sent to people who are eligible to vote, and then the ballots

00:31:44.420 being returned are being properly returned by eligible voters only. And we believe that combined

00:31:50.280 the measures in this executive order will help secure elections in the future and ensure

00:31:54.760 that the many abuses of our election system in the past aren't repeated in future elections

00:32:02.440 okay so yes uh the ball guy hilarious has no idea his whole head was just in here

00:32:08.760 um i love these two i love that trump has these read out so everybody can hear it i think it's

00:32:14.760 it's such a good move um all right so is this going to help marcella will this thing be real

00:32:20.640 can we hope that we're not going to have as much fraud i mean it's it's a good start i don't know

00:32:29.700 um too much about it but from what i gathered there's citizenship verification directs the

00:32:36.620 department of dhs to coordinate with ssa to compile and share a list of confirmed u.s citizens

00:32:43.420 So a lot of the things we learned from, sorry to go back to 9-11, is that some of these agencies, even though they work, you know, in federal government, they don't talk to each other.

00:32:54.820 So the good thing about this executive order is that they're going to talk to each other, the DHS and SSA mail-in absentee ballot reforms with the United States Postal Service.

00:33:08.700 that's great i mean it's it's a very intelligent executive order um as much as we can i wish the

00:33:19.240 save act would pass you know it's like let's try to do let's try to not do law but do law you know

00:33:29.340 that's basically what um president trump is always trying to do with executive orders because there's

00:33:34.460 no strength in the congress i guess so it would be nice you know i mean if we could just pass

00:33:43.460 bills like the save act you know just one line item at a time like trump initially wanted it

00:33:50.680 to be do you have much stuff we'd have accomplished i don't know why we cannot break these things

00:33:55.540 apart we want to vote for this we want to vote for this probably wouldn't pass the cookie law

00:34:00.720 or some kind of like they don't pass anything like what do they do i know pass maybe we should

00:34:06.880 pay them pursuant to how many laws they have enacted right yes i yes their pay actually

00:34:15.600 should be merit-based pay and because we could probably solve the deficit all right so owen

00:34:22.400 thoughts on this this uh clearly this is trump's attempt at least partially or as much as he can to

00:34:30.160 make his own Save America Act rather than the one that Congress seems to refuse to pass.

00:34:36.140 So I think he's trying to essentially help confirm who's a citizen, who's not. I think he's trying

00:34:41.840 to, it looks like the key provisions is partly this state citizenship list where they're sending

00:34:48.000 into the states. I'm not sure how much difference that's going to make because I'm sure it'll maybe

00:34:52.700 have a difference in red states, but it might not have a difference in blue states because

00:34:56.860 if you have all progressive liberal people that don't want to have election integrity then they're

00:35:02.920 not going to do anything with it it'll say thanks for the list and they'll drop it in the trash

00:35:06.120 and so i don't know if it'll make a difference maybe it will in some of the swing states just

00:35:09.760 depending on who's in control but um it at least should give them better information as to who they

00:35:15.020 know as a citizen who they don't and then um it looks like they're also prioritizing prosecutions

00:35:20.520 for election things and specifically like state local officials people or entities that issue or

00:35:27.100 distribute federal ballots to people who are not eligible to vote so non-citizens so it basically

00:35:33.260 just says we're coming after you if you do that I'm not sure how enforceable that will be but 0.63

00:35:37.860 we'll have to see what what comes out of that and then there is some revision in terms of like

00:35:42.280 apparently he's ordering the United States Postal Service to make a rule about what the envelopes

00:35:48.040 need to look like for mail-in ballots and you know basically make it harder harder to forge i think

00:35:53.020 is that they have um you know certain requirements for those things to make sure that that envelopes

00:35:59.860 are complying to what they think they need to for that and then some other things are just like

00:36:04.840 coordination between all you know dhs and the social security administration and the postal

00:36:09.780 service um to have better compliance with the existing federal laws so i don't know that this

00:36:15.060 going to go nearly as far as the Save America Act. It certainly isn't going to force blue states to

00:36:20.100 change probably anything, I don't think, significant, but it may be a step in the

00:36:25.940 right direction at least. A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my card

00:37:28.920 Evie, is that your name? I don't know if it's Evie or Evie, but you're right. No, we can't

00:37:33.520 pay them based on passing legislation. You're totally right. But what I did like,

00:37:40.920 somebody had said, I want to credit them, but I don't know who it is. So they should get paid

00:37:45.920 depending on how they, uh, handle their state. So if they, you know, have, if they take away

00:37:54.020 the debt of their state and they fix X, Y, and Z problems, depending how well they do is how they

00:38:00.120 would get paid. And I like that better because nobody's thinking about their state. These people

00:38:05.000 in DC are so full of it. As I always say, they don't care about you. They don't care about what's

00:38:09.640 happening to you in your state, very few do, very few care. And, um, it's just a group up there and

00:38:15.940 they just are pretending that they care about you. Like, so you're voting for someone who's

00:38:20.180 pretending they care about you, but they don't. I just think it's very important to remember that

00:38:24.500 the government's not your mommy, your daddy, your parent, they're not your fairy godmother.

00:38:29.040 They are not looking out for you. Okay. So you always have to look out for yourself first. Um,

00:38:35.040 and it's just very important to remember that. I think a lot of you see that. And I think a lot

00:38:39.200 of Democrats don't get that. Like they want the government to solve their problems. And that's

00:38:44.420 just like the last person that's going to solve the problem is the government. So yeah, Owen,

00:38:49.600 that was a good analysis there. Any more on this, you guys? Oh, I know Spencer Pratt was having a

00:38:57.620 problem too, right? They found, I don't have this story. I didn't even tell you guys about this,

00:39:01.660 but if anyone knew, like again, the cheating at the, they were finding like burned ballots 0.91

00:39:07.040 um at the ballot boxes or something so there's already tons of bullshit happening in la 0.85

00:39:12.540 exhale wait we can talk about the elections tomorrow on tuesday yeah you're having elections 0.75

00:39:21.600 as well so california iowa montana new mexico new jersey and south dakota um take a sip with

00:39:28.740 me first i need to reset everyone everyone just do it with me i need a group sip i was like what's

00:39:34.680 and by the way jeff callahan will be on with us tomorrow who's been talking about spencer

00:39:44.040 and writing about spencer he'll join us tomorrow to see if predictions are coming true marcella

00:39:48.760 give it to us sister so there's selections like i said in california iowa montana new

00:39:54.280 mexico new jersey and south dakota say that faster um all candidates um in california are

00:40:00.440 on one ballot um to the top two advance to the november um elections the key race is the governor

00:40:10.280 race um there is new polling showing bezera being up front the democrat and as well as tom steyer

00:40:22.120 but steve hilton is the republican that's kind of closing in on them hopefully he will win um

00:40:29.480 And in regards to the LA mayoral race, there's been the clerk of the recorder's office has given a letter talking about the issues with the ballot boxes, the mail ballot boxes.

00:40:47.860 There was some some mail-in ballots were found burned.

00:40:52.900 There was other issues with another ballot box somewhere else.

00:40:56.640 um even spencer pratt showed a picture or was it a video of a ballot box being next to this homeless

00:41:07.520 like so like just this homeless living on top of the ballot box which i mean how that's that's

00:41:17.180 great in a way because it's like uh it gives him a huge uh uh anybody voting and putting in the

00:41:24.660 valid uh the you know would make them want to do that would make them want to vote for spencer pratt

00:41:30.920 and uh yeah i'm hopeful for him he's uh california post had a poll um and they had him being the

00:41:39.620 front runner um but as i know how government works around here um there there is always cheating

00:41:49.840 involved i could just tell you that there's always someone something some lawsuits something else is

00:41:56.140 going to go down hopefully not and um we all are very hopeful for spencer and i'm more nervous than

00:42:02.960 spencer pratt probably for him yeah i'm really nervous about it um iowa is also doing their

00:42:10.020 elections uh u.s senate johnny johnny earns she's not doing uh she's not being uh not seeking

00:42:17.320 reelection. So there's a competitive Republican primary. Ashley Hinson is most likely the

00:42:24.480 front runner. She is, I believe Trump endorsed her. And she's the favorite to win in that.

00:42:37.260 And then there's a governor race in Iowa as well, because there's another governor,

00:42:42.580 kim raynolds retiring uh the democrats republicans are going one after the other

00:42:48.060 um we have new jersey though uh-oh not new jersey again yeah we have new jersey and

00:42:55.700 in the u.s senate primaries cory booker is on a pose on the democratic side

00:43:01.140 cory booker literally thinks he's going to become the president of the united states of america

00:43:07.680 I hope he runs.

00:43:09.020 I freaking hope so.

00:43:10.400 There is several Republicans running.

00:43:13.960 I don't know if you know any of them.

00:43:15.820 Alex Zidan, Richard Tabort, Robert Levovix, Justin Murphy is the only one I can pronounce.

00:43:25.340 They're running for U.S. Senate on the Republican side.

00:43:29.500 Hopefully one of them can beat out Corey.

00:43:33.340 I mean, that shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

00:43:35.280 he's been in there forever and nothing's changed look at newark right now it's on fire literally

00:43:42.280 um nothing's changed in newark really and he's been there forever he's just another cry baby

00:43:49.300 you know theater kid just putting on performances trying to get clicks and clips and you know people

00:43:56.620 to be like oh he's so passionate and masculine now and i'm like oh so he's masculine and he's

00:44:01.700 crying corey is masculine well he's trying to be masculine like he's trying to use like he's using

00:44:07.300 swear words now and he's like trying to posture sick well well i know i know toxic male we're all

00:44:16.340 like oh if we can throw in a word here and there then we're uh masculine is he is he drinking

00:44:21.540 creatine is he taking creatine i don't i don't think so so the montana race not to ignore montana

00:44:29.300 um because we have walter kern lives out there um it's a u.s senate race another senator that's

00:44:36.820 not running for re-election and so there is a toss-up but kurt almy um is trump endorsed and

00:44:45.380 it's most likely the favorite and there's u.s house seats and south dakota is governor as well

00:44:51.700 and uh it looks like tody toby dude dude oh my gosh these names lord dude yeah i mean thanks

00:45:04.980 marcella that was a lot um so vote if you're voting vote vote vote um owen you were gonna say

00:45:12.900 well there's another story that shows that apparently there are some mail-in ballots

00:45:17.700 in los angeles that were found burned um so apparently the the meddling is already starting

00:45:25.340 i'm not sure if that would have come from the left or the right because i suppose you could

00:45:28.080 make a case for both of it but um apparently there was some uh mail-in ballot box outside

00:45:35.160 the department of public social services in la near the civic center arena or in that arena area

00:45:42.040 and um looks like they found a bunch of ballots that were damaged by fire so they're trying to

00:45:47.480 assess what, you know, what to do about that. I don't know that they know exactly how the fire

00:45:51.220 started or what, and it sounds like they're going to try and notify the voters that were affected

00:45:55.160 by it to see what their options are. But, um, you know, here we go, I guess in terms of, um,

00:46:02.800 election integrity issues with mail-in ballots, cause you never know what would happen,

00:46:06.600 you know, and how many of these things might be happening outside of what you catch. I think we

00:46:10.700 saw plenty of that in the 2020 and 2022 elections where people found ballots that were in the trash

00:46:16.620 or just not where they should have been

00:46:19.700 or showing up from some mysterious place.

00:46:22.540 Can't we get it together?

00:46:24.260 I mean, come on.

00:46:25.400 You guys, listen, listen.

00:46:27.780 Why are we so messed up?

00:46:29.600 Honestly, why do we even take these stories so seriously 0.64

00:46:34.420 and talk about them every freaking election cycle?

00:46:39.520 Honestly, I mean, Scott had that mission. 0.71

00:46:42.720 He's like, if your voting cannot be,

00:46:45.740 if you can't feel like your vote counted, it mattered, it wasn't stolen, cheated, nothing,

00:46:50.840 then we don't have a country. So what are we doing? I mean, every fricking time there's an

00:46:56.100 election, we're like, well, you know, we're trying to stop the fraud and this and that, that honestly,

00:47:00.960 like give us a way to vote people. Like what did we used to do? We went up and we had like that

00:47:07.040 little thing and you'd like punch a hole in something. Like, what is it? Whatever the thing

00:47:11.360 is just stop all the other stuff. Stop the mail-in, stop the early voting. You guys, I vote

00:47:19.580 the same day of an election. Early voting or mail-in voting, it's just more time for corruption.

00:47:26.020 We all understand this, don't we? And by the way, for my friends like Holsey who live in places

00:47:31.500 where they can basically only do mail-in voting, that has to stop too. So everybody needs to be

00:47:36.780 able to show up somewhere, make this stupid day a federal holiday, a national holiday. 0.99

00:47:42.220 It's election day. It's a holiday. You don't have to work. You can plan all year around getting to 1.00

00:47:47.440 that one place, make it a family vacation, whatever you have to do. Go that day and vote.

00:47:53.200 Okay. Because this is so dumb that we're America. We're like, oh, we're going to go live on Mars, 1.00

00:47:59.380 thanks to Elon. And we're going to do all this stuff, but we can't get our voting right. It's

00:48:03.640 such BS. I, I, I just can't understand. It's embarrassing. It's literally put the paint on

00:48:09.400 my finger. I don't care the ink, whatever it is, I'll do it. I just want it to be fair. I want

00:48:14.720 people to actually be represented by the people they choose that they feel like is best for them

00:48:20.180 and the time we're living in. And the only thing we ever talk about after elections is,

00:48:25.660 well, do you think there was fraud? Like how much fraud do you think? How many votes do you

00:48:29.720 think we're still in what did georgia do will they stop counting ballots like this is what we

00:48:34.480 talk about with elections like no one ever feels good about it um but yeah i i don't know i i'll

00:48:41.040 move on from it but watch tomorrow this is what the conversations will be all around is about the

00:48:45.680 potential fraud so owen i think you had another story for us and i'll switch gears ranting on a

00:48:53.400 monday speaking of fraud um i don't know if we talked about this before but there was a cia

00:48:57.940 employee that was caught with 300 kilograms of gold and millions in foreign currency um and

00:49:04.640 anyone like me who's kind of metric handicapped i think that's over 600 pounds of gold bars and um

00:49:11.920 but the latest is that they also talked about how his resume appears to be fake that he made up a

00:49:18.020 lot of stuff on his resume and he'd been working there for 15 years so apparently you have to steal

00:49:23.760 600 pounds of gold before they start checking your resume to see if you're actually who you

00:49:28.320 say you are in the cia and um so i think it just reduces the credibility and trust of anything out

00:49:34.400 of the cia um i think the story behind it is that it is typical that they do you know request

00:49:40.520 whatever it is currency diamonds gold to give to their informants because they obviously just

00:49:46.780 can't pay them like with something that could be easily traced and so you know that's essentially

00:49:51.920 what i think happened is that he kept requesting things but just kept keeping them and saying it

00:49:57.260 was business expense of whatever sort where he probably was saying oh i need to pay my informant

00:50:01.740 to get information but he was just creating a stockpile and anything i think he tried to escape

00:50:06.940 with all the money and got caught um but it's just kind of ridiculous and shows how little control

00:50:11.960 the cia really has over this and how few checks are really there mark said uh 2.2 pounds per

00:50:18.900 kilogram. And I believe Mark. Yeah. So by the way, let's open Fort Knox. I'm just curious.

00:50:28.880 That's amazing. So talk about learning on the job, right? For 15 years,

00:50:33.500 the resume was fake. Gotta love this guy. Yeah. He falsely claimed to have degrees from Clemson

00:50:38.920 and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and claimed to be a Navy pilot. I don't know how you don't

00:50:44.420 verify any of that like how do you how do you not catch that in the interview process wouldn't they

00:50:50.160 at least check his military records wow i'm just looking at some comments here marcella anything

00:50:56.320 on this story or are you just like what the heck no i mean i guess you just have to ask for the

00:51:02.720 gold bars and if you're an agent you receive them like that's great so he was uh also found with

00:51:09.580 two million dollars maybe you said this one two million dollars in cash as well and dozens of

00:51:15.400 rolex watches in his original home wow and he didn't even have to pay for clemson that's amazing

00:51:24.060 he's way ahead of the game well he was um leon panetta was head of cia at the time interesting

00:51:31.620 all right so what do we have we have 10 minutes all right so what other stories did you guys want

00:51:37.940 to get to. I did watch Bill Maher this morning for you guys. Yes, Spencer Pratt was on. It was

00:51:45.560 funny because Bill, he's always a little cranky, whiny. He's older, Spencer's younger, but it was

00:51:52.800 cute because Spencer is very, very true to himself. When Bill was like, you got to stop with

00:51:58.200 this. He's like, no, this is why I'm running. He's like, well, how are you going to fix my

00:52:04.800 permitting for solar panels. He's like, solar panels? He's like, do you know how much stuff

00:52:10.160 we have to get to before anyone can worry about your solar panels? He's like, this city is so

00:52:16.320 messed up. And so he just kept ranting and ranting. And Bill's face kind of changed. And he's like,

00:52:21.260 yeah, this guy's right. We got so much more to do before I can worry about solar panel taxing

00:52:27.280 and this and that so i think that uh he became um a fan for lack of a better word and rather

00:52:35.920 supportive he's told him not to change he was doing the right thing because he did try to change

00:52:40.560 his strategy a little and then by the end he's like don't change anything you're doing and uh

00:52:46.080 i know a lot of us can't stand bill maher um i like him um i i like bill maher i've liked him

00:52:52.800 forever since uh whatever his show used to be called um what was it called politically incorrect

00:52:59.840 politically incorrect back in the day yeah yeah i liked him since then because he was the first to

00:53:04.720 talk about islam and and against it and that's why he got canceled right so yeah after 9 11 like i

00:53:12.240 said to gadsad you know we all became like you know oh no don't you dare um so yeah i like him 0.98

00:53:18.320 I think he's a pain in the ass about a lot of stuff. But generally, if he gets new information 0.97

00:53:24.680 and can be convinced in a way that he can understand, he'll change his opinion. He'll

00:53:30.560 soften on things. So I like that. And even after Trump re-attacked him again, he's not even railing

00:53:37.160 against Trump anymore. He's just like, I don't care. So I like that. All right. So Owen or

00:53:43.900 marcella did you want to hit i just wanted to bring up that colombia uh had their elections

00:53:50.000 last uh this sunday the last sunday and uh they had uh they had a runoff because nobody had the

00:53:57.480 50 threshold they're gonna have the runoff on june 21st but basically abelardo de la spiella

00:54:06.640 uh one he's a right-wing candidate uh sort of like naive bukele and uh yvonne cepeda the leftist

00:54:17.260 candidate lost and evan cepeda cepeda is already saying that there's like fraud in the election

00:54:23.080 because he didn't win um so there's going to be a runoff on june 21st i would say go vote but

00:54:31.120 that would be weird because then if you know unless you're colombian um bukele is here right

00:54:36.840 what's he doing is he going to help us make america great again does anyone know why he's here

00:54:41.240 i hope so me too yeah but this um this espirilla espirilla um seems to be described as a pro-trump

00:54:52.580 nationalist and so i would say it is a sign that maybe some countries are waking up to the fact

00:54:57.300 that they might do better if they're friendly to Trump as opposed to what happened in Venezuela

00:55:03.920 and what might be about to happen in Cuba. I'm guessing Colombia might be seeing that it might

00:55:09.880 be to their benefit to have someone who can get along with and negotiate with Trump rather than

00:55:13.760 having us come in and just have our way with them. So he was quoted saying something like

00:55:20.980 naive under my government any bandit who resists will be eliminated as appropriate and if he

00:55:28.020 submits we will imprison him in a mega prison so he can pay his debt to justice as they should

00:55:33.860 eye for an eye just i know he didn't say that but basically uh

00:55:41.660 enforced just uh law enforcement uh is a big deal in latin america now because of how much

00:55:49.940 crime there is, as it should be in Los Angeles. Okay. Owen, any last story for us?

00:55:59.720 Well, Trump reposted, I think, some kind of video about how there's a claim that the FBI

00:56:06.980 refused to release 11,000 hours of January 6 footage. I think it was based on some testimony

00:56:16.260 from a former agent named George Hill, and he's claiming that the Washington Field Office refused

00:56:21.140 to release all this video. And they claimed it was to protect the identities of undercover agents

00:56:27.620 and confidential human sources. Now, just think about that for a second. Let's assume for the

00:56:31.860 moment that that's true. I don't think it is, but let's assume it is. That means there's 11,000

00:56:36.460 hours of footage that show confidential human sources and agents. That's a lot of agents and

00:56:42.660 confidential human sources. So I don't think that cover story works because if there really were

00:56:48.420 11,000 hours that they have to redact just to protect those identities, that means there was

00:56:55.000 a lot of people there that were government connected. And I think the more obvious answer

00:57:01.020 is they just wanted to control the narrative and they wanted to not show anything that would go

00:57:04.620 against that narrative. I think there have been plenty of stories of people who were gone after

00:57:09.340 where they very selectively cherry-picked

00:57:13.440 or even just completely fabricated,

00:57:15.200 kind of like a Rupar sort of thing

00:57:16.960 where I read about one person's story.

00:57:19.160 I can't remember his name,

00:57:19.840 but it was where they showed still photos of this person.

00:57:24.440 And he was like a former law enforcement person himself

00:57:27.580 and he was there.

00:57:28.580 But they showed this picture

00:57:31.460 that made it look like he was pushing down a barrier

00:57:34.220 or pushing a barrier down towards the lines.

00:57:37.800 and he there was a picture that made it seem like he was angry and putting his finger up towards the

00:57:43.500 police or whatever but then apparently he was able to get a defense lawyer and they combed through

00:57:48.220 all the youtube footage and some of his friends helped with it and they found that it was

00:57:52.580 completely root hard it was like exactly the opposite of what those still photos showed it

00:57:57.060 was like he was helping the police they showed him they showed him holding some kind of black

00:58:02.040 object that made it seem like it was some bad thing but what he was doing was he noticed that

00:58:06.420 the cops had dropped certain items and that cops get in a lot of trouble when they lose things like

00:58:10.720 one of them was a cap and he he picked out he picked up the item and gave it back to the

00:58:15.540 policeman and he was you know saying things like hold the line to the policeman to like you know

00:58:21.260 be on their side and so he was doing the exact opposite of what they were claiming he was doing

00:58:25.820 and um i think his felony his felony charges got dropped as a result because i think he did a good

00:58:31.520 job with his defense but he still got convicted of misdemeanors for like trespassing and whatever

00:58:36.260 else was in there. And the prosecution still tried to give him like 11 months, which is probably the

00:58:40.980 maximum you can get for a misdemeanor. And so it was just totally out of control. I mean, such

00:58:46.600 tremendous abuse in this whole process. And so I think this 11,000 hours just goes to support that

00:58:52.920 same thing that they're clearly, they clearly were hiding the truth and they were trying to

00:58:57.940 twist it as much as they possibly could to make it into something that was the opposite of what it

00:59:01.700 was i have um i have that clip and i also want to tell you guys that i'm trying to put together

00:59:06.800 like a couple of days where we talk about j6 with some special people but here's that quick clip if

00:59:13.340 you guys want to hear this no we're not uploading we're not starting case these people to which

00:59:19.100 they said well we're going to call your sac and the ssa said go right ahead because when you're

00:59:26.260 pushing back you know you want to make sure that you have your your six covered so the sac and the

00:59:33.840 asac were intimately aware of these kinds of exchanges that were going on and again to his

00:59:40.900 credit um joe bono volante said no we're not opening up cases on people who went to a rally

00:59:46.600 and i forgot a key part the ssa for ct2 said happy to do it show us where they were inside the

00:59:57.520 capital and we'll look into it to which wfo said we can't show you those videos unless you can tell

01:00:03.820 us the exact time and place those individuals were inside the capital to which the ssa responded back

01:00:11.280 and i was privy to these conversations firsthand why can't you show us why can't you just send us

01:00:17.540 give us access to the 11 000 hours of video of this exam that's available because there may be

01:00:24.480 maybe uc's undercover officers or chs's confidential human for confidential human

01:00:32.560 sources on those videos whose identity we need to protect. So we have one minute left. So that

01:00:42.560 was the clip, but you guys, if any of you remember when J6 happened, I know a lot of us felt so 1.00

01:00:50.420 enraged because you could see that this was an op for sure. And Ray Epps, just Ray Epps alone is

01:00:58.760 just all you really need to remember. So we're going to talk more about it. So I don't want to

01:01:03.960 announce who the guests could be to talk about this with us, but I'm working on it for all of

01:01:08.980 us. Okay. So that being said, I'm sorry to end so abruptly, but it's just time now. We will be back

01:01:16.620 tomorrow. So we're going to see how LA is doing, Marcella. So I invited Jeff to come on with us

01:01:22.380 to talk about it. We'll do a wrap up on those things. And we have some more fun things planned

01:01:28.480 for tomorrow and for this week.

01:01:30.660 Oh, I got a special surprise for you guys on Thursday.

01:01:35.260 I'll tell you tomorrow.

01:01:37.660 So, all right, Owen, Marcella,

01:01:39.760 any closing goodbyes for the fam?

01:01:44.020 Just go vote.

01:01:46.300 Owen?

01:01:46.980 Go vote and be useful.

01:01:49.020 Go vote and be useful.

01:01:50.780 Go vote and go home.

01:01:52.620 Okay, you guys, thank you so much for being here.

01:01:55.580 And we'll be back tomorrow morning.

01:01:57.160 And we'd like to thank Scott and Shelly for allowing this podcast to continue the Scott Adams school and everybody, a closing sip to Scott and go be useful to Scott.
