00:00:54.860 you can either learn Spanish or get kidnapped.

00:00:57.640 And I'm like, well, that's one hell of an incentive.

00:01:00.000 so I learned Spanish. You know, if my teachers told me that, maybe it wouldn't have taken me

00:01:04.560 like four years to do Spanish too. Yeah. Good morning, Dr. Gregory Hines. Good morning,

00:02:12.040 hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip go

00:02:17.640 that's some good sipping right there oh my god he sounds like he's about to land a plane

00:02:30.220 good evening ladies and gentlemen you know so good about that i guess airline pilot yeah

00:02:36.080 you know so good about that if you notice he was always trying something new

00:02:40.260 he could never get the technology perfectly sorted at least towards the end but

00:02:44.820 at least he was trying different things and he would talk about it i love that we're well aware

00:02:49.740 of what made it and what didn't make it exactly with lots of colorful language and a garbage can

00:02:57.840 full of technology yes and i would say erica and i and marcella i think now i also have a better

00:03:04.040 appreciation for what he was going through yes i often want to throw my printer out the window

00:03:09.440 but it won't break it because it's like right there's like two feet from the window to the

00:03:14.020 ground. So it's not going to be that satisfying, but one day, one day. Oh my gosh. Okay. You guys,

00:03:19.760 welcome in. So, you know, Friday, we try to do Friday fun day, but we have a little bit of both.

00:03:26.800 Okay. So it's a little mix. Um, the first thing though, I have to start with a little animal

00:03:32.500 clip. You guys, it was just too cute to pass up. And you know what? Some of you actually enjoy

00:03:36.860 this and I appreciate you. So here's a guy. Okay. He goes to pick up his adorable. I it's a corgi.

00:03:42.880 you guys will correct me if I'm wrong from daycare who's having the time of his life

00:03:46.320 and then he sees his daddy look

00:03:48.400 that's his dog on his back

00:04:12.880 oh i love that it's so true we don't deserve dogs that is so cute he's like dad can i stay

00:04:23.700 five more minutes oh oh and how are you do you still have the dogs at your house

00:04:28.760 uh my son's dogs are with us at the moment yeah so i have two dogs in the house um but we had

00:04:34.140 lots of fun over the years with the dog park with my last dog and we haven't done that with

00:04:38.380 these new dogs because they're kind of temporary residents but plus well one of them is still kind

00:04:44.940 of a puppy and and i i don't know that it would attack another dog but it gets really

00:04:50.220 like it barks barks aggressively whenever it sees a dog when i walk it so um we kind of just keep

00:04:57.740 it clear of other dogs they get along with each other fine um medium size i mean i don't know

00:05:02.600 what you consider big they're probably 60 pounds or so that's big oh and i just want to correct

00:05:07.680 too i think they're called undocumented residents i think that's how you refer to them yeah

00:05:12.700 undocumented pets maybe they're unhoused they're temporary housing migrant dogs

00:05:20.360 so owen i hope you enjoy your new dogs for the rest of your life the rest of their life it's

00:05:28.060 going to be fun um because that's what you think okay so the other quick thing i wanted to show

00:05:33.920 you if my mom is listening she taught me this back you know back in the days when I used to

00:05:38.640 watch the Flintstones and you know like if they're all cartoons if they're like running and there's a

00:05:44.960 sky past them like you'll notice the clouds are like the same pattern as they go and she pointed

00:05:49.680 that out to me she like broke the fourth wall at an early age and then I was like oh everything is 0.60

00:05:54.020 fake and gay and now I know so um but I love this clip I saw so you know animations it's hard it's 0.87

00:06:02.420 expensive, it's time consuming. So look at this clip about the Disney movies and how they repurposed 0.75

00:06:09.000 Why do I look so dark? Oh, God, I feel like Scott again. And look at how they repurpose their animation.

00:06:32.420 I love this.

00:06:38.620 And if anybody, let me lower this.

00:06:41.060 If anyone, do you guys know Carvel?

00:06:43.580 It's an ice cream place.

00:06:45.140 I think it's.

00:06:45.680 Yes, of course.

00:06:46.240 Oh, you do?

00:06:46.800 You know, I didn't know it wasn't all over the country.

00:06:49.640 So Carvel, they have a cake, Fudgy the Whale.

00:06:55.040 And Fudgy the Whale, are you guys get the point?

00:06:57.880 Isn't that crazy?

00:06:58.600 so fudgy the whale is also cookie puss and santa claus you just turn him the other way and like

00:07:09.440 the whale tail is santa's hat it's like they make like a bunch of different things out of him so i'm

00:07:16.260 just like you know what let's let's repurpose um i mean back then you have to remember they

00:07:21.860 those are all hand drawn every frame was hand drawn like they didn't have computers back then

00:07:27.180 doing anything so everything they were doing every movement is just another drawing slightly

00:07:31.720 different than the one before so they probably were tracing over the other one just to say okay

00:07:36.460 that's an easy way to make the motion happen oh my gosh i can only see the locals comments right now

00:07:41.640 i'm coming over to you soon youtube but i love all right first of all steven lang carvel is not

00:07:47.880 east coast trash it's delicious um and fudgy the whale yes you just invert it and then we've got

00:07:56.940 um medicide said i feel violated and chunk says we all need to dance like this i love that yes we 0.57

00:08:04.640 do what is carvel it's trash he said but it's no no i don't know it's an it's an ice cream place

00:08:11.960 it's so it's like a franchised ice cream place it's like been around since before i was born

00:08:17.020 which obviously is a long time and they just change their ice cream cake molds in different

00:08:22.140 directions and make different things out of them so now feel violated for a second time

00:08:26.100 And apparently there's an East Coast, West Coast divide around ice cream.

00:08:29.760 That's what I just learned.

00:08:31.160 Oh, of course.

00:08:32.540 Of course there is.

00:08:34.700 Yes.

00:08:35.280 Yes, Dee, the crunchies.

00:08:36.800 Carvel has the best crunchies on an ice cream cake.

00:08:40.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:41.580 I don't even know how that all happened just now.

00:08:43.700 So do you guys mind?

00:08:46.440 I would love to play a quick clip.

00:08:48.180 And I may have played this before, but I feel like from the comments I've been getting in the DMs and things I'm seeing on X,

00:08:55.560 that maybe we could use another quick lesson from Scott today.

00:08:59.360 This is just a fast micro lesson.

00:09:01.860 I think it's going to be good timing for us, as always, with Scott.

00:09:05.160 So this is just a couple of minutes, and let's just chitty chat about it on the other side.

00:09:10.060 Okay, guys, let's grab it.

00:09:13.120 Here's a micro lesson on timing for persuasion.

00:09:17.520 Now, if you wanted to persuade somebody of something that was sort of unfamiliar

00:09:21.600 failure and they had no experience with it. There was nothing in the real world that matched it.

00:09:26.180 It's hard. People need to be primed for your persuasion. And the best way to do that is wait

00:09:31.900 for the environment, coincidentally, to be in the right situation where your message can slip in.

00:09:37.580 I'll give you an example. Suppose you wanted to make the case that in some domain, 97% of the

00:09:44.680 experts turned out to be wrong. So maybe in this next situation, completely unrelated,

00:09:50.420 it's also possible that the experts could be wrong. It would be useful to point to history

00:09:55.700 and say, look, they used to be wrong back then. Maybe they're wrong now, but not nearly as good

00:10:01.540 as pointing to a current news story that's in everybody's head. If you can find that situation

00:10:07.360 and say, look, look, the experts are all wrong right now. You're living through it. You're

00:10:12.460 seeing it yourself. Why couldn't they also have been wrong in this other example? Now, of course,

00:10:17.940 the two things are not connected, so there's not a logical connection. It just allows the people to

00:10:22.860 imagine it's possible. So you got to have a situation where people can easily imagine that

00:10:29.080 the thing you're persuading could be possible. If they don't have something in their environment to

00:10:34.280 make it imaginable, it just bounces right off. And that's your lesson on persuasion for today.

00:10:47.940 thank you no one yells mute to me um i thought it was a technical issue on my my end sorry about

00:11:09.320 that thank you so oh and i'm coming to you first i was saying that um lately when i'm discussing

00:11:16.300 things with people. And I don't want to say like I'm debating people. I'm not running around

00:11:19.820 debating people, but I forget sometimes how to persuade. I get like my emotions get fired up a

00:11:27.220 little bit and I forget how to calm myself down and regroup. So hearing what Scott just said,

00:11:33.860 what's your advice to me? Well, I think certainly number one is take a moment,

00:11:39.360 take a pause if you're in that emotional state, because I think if your emotions are kind of in

00:11:43.980 control, it's harder for you to even intentionally do anything because you're not really thinking as

00:11:48.340 much. Um, and it's okay to feel things. It's okay to have that, you know, happen. Emotions are

00:11:55.040 natural, but I think if you're trying to persuade someone, you want to be more in deliberate control

00:12:00.580 of what you're doing and thinking about, okay, how can I get through to this person? And I think

00:12:04.600 part of the point of what I heard was that, you know, if you're sort of just slamming something

00:12:09.580 up against somebody and it's not anything remotely like what they're ready to hear then they're not

00:12:15.840 going to hear it and they're not going to you know it's it's like it like you said it might

00:12:19.840 just bounce off them you know and so i think when i am trying to persuade someone i'm usually trying

00:12:24.480 to put myself in their shoes that's my focus i'm trying to say okay how is this person thinking

00:12:28.440 about this how is this person um gonna respond to what i might say and what could i say to

00:12:34.920 potentially change their point of view or get them to you know agree with what i'm about to say

00:12:38.860 And so you look for common ground. You look for things that you have in common. You look for maybe a perspective that you think would match their perspective based on what they've said in the past or how they've behaved in the past. And, you know, you think of it in terms of their goals, their ambitions, their situation. And I use this at work all the time where, you know, and it's not necessarily even conscious a lot of the time at this point, just because I've done so much that it just sort of happens.

00:13:04.980 But it's more like you just say, OK, you know, what is this person trying to achieve here, either in this particular interaction or just in general?

00:13:15.140 And how can I make this fit into that and show them how it would help them or show them how it would benefit them?

00:13:20.900 So you would highlight different things.

00:13:22.520 You would, again, maybe start from that common ground as opposed to starting where you differ and saying, well, I think we all agree on, you know, this, this and that and get them to agree to that.

00:13:31.680 And that's part of persuasion as well, is if you can get someone saying yes, then they're in the mindset of saying yes.

00:13:38.100 And, you know, there are other tricks and other things that I've heard from people like the guy that's been making the rounds recently.

00:13:45.860 I forget his name, but, you know, he was saying something like I think he was one of those CIA people.

00:13:50.800 But he was saying that if you say, you know, well, I know I know that you're an open minded person.

00:13:56.340 So, you know, and everyone would want to think of themselves as an open minded person.

00:13:59.980 right? But if you say that, then that puts them in that mindset of now I got to act like an open

00:14:04.740 minded person. Like, no, I'm not. Right. But if you but if you say, you know, I know you're an

00:14:11.320 open minded person, so you'll listen to me when I say this, they're much more likely to listen to

00:14:15.020 you, right? And really consider something than if you just launched right into your argument.

00:14:19.960 I will say, though, it it's definitely it's like easy peasy for me if it's somebody I don't know,

00:14:26.620 because I don't have that emotion. If it's someone I know, I got to take that like,

00:14:32.820 who, you know, and I totally agree. I think it's a good idea to find some, some kind of common

00:14:38.200 ground that you can both agree with as a starting point, you know, and I'm coming to you in a second

00:14:43.480 BJ. And sometimes it's like, listen, we know each other. We're both good people. I don't consider

00:14:49.480 you radical. I'm sure you don't consider me radical. So like, let's start with that. And

00:14:54.620 then let's just like you know find some commonality but bj you know how do you how do you handle how

00:14:59.860 do you handle this you do a lot of speaking with people i'm sure you get a lot of pushback

00:15:03.720 how do you deal yeah i try to actually engage with people disagree with me a lot that's he

00:15:08.900 kind of hone up the skills uh this is it's got talked about this a lot this is directly out of

00:15:13.920 ericksonian hypnosis and the idea is if you have somebody who's primed you have prestige and you

00:15:19.480 rapport with them, then you can persuade them at least to hear you. And if you do it enough times,

00:15:25.480 then you can change their mind. This is why Scott used to say, if you hear something five times,

00:15:30.440 then you will just adopt it as your opinion. And the reason, you know, you mentioned family,

00:15:38.040 friends and family are the most difficult people. You know, your parents never listened to you,

00:15:43.640 your family never listens to you, that sort of thing. It's because those three elements gives

00:15:48.200 the context where people are willing to listen. But what don't you have with your family? You

00:15:54.300 don't have prestige. You're nobody special. You're just one of the family. So right away,

00:16:00.220 you're missing one of the three elements that are required to persuade somebody to change their

00:16:04.860 minds. Once you understand how this all works, it really makes a lot of sense. And it's amazing

00:16:09.740 how much of hypnosis that Scott covered in his whiteboards and his streams. But he's laid

00:16:17.240 everything out but ericksonian hypnosis that's where this all comes from so what would you what

00:16:21.560 would you advise like so if i said oh my god bj i'm trying to talk to these people and i get so

00:16:27.100 flustered and so upset like and i know all the right things and i know all the facts but then

00:16:31.240 they just start throwing things at me and like my emotions go crazy like what would you tell me to

00:16:35.680 do uh well the first thing i would ask is when when are you trying to talk to them and i don't

00:16:40.360 mean when in time, when in terms of their emotional state. If somebody is in a manic state where

00:16:47.180 they're very frustrated about something and you're trying to get them to completely invert their

00:16:52.640 worldview, that's never going to happen. If you challenge them, you're going to spike their

00:16:57.940 amygdala and they're going to attack you. That's where the seven signs of cognitive dissonance

00:17:02.660 comes from. So the first thing you have to do is you have to move them out of a state of anxiety

00:17:07.560 into what works best for me, a state of gratitude, because you can't be in both states at the same

00:17:14.760 time. This is what I was explaining to Jordan Peterson during the trucker convoy. Like everybody

00:17:19.040 was asking me, you know, the political experts who are the worst persuaders. Scott was completely

00:17:23.940 right about that. Jordan was the only one who understood was what I was trying to do with my

00:17:29.660 messaging is get all of us, everybody around the world out of a state of anxiety because we had

00:17:35.700 two years of lockdown and face diapers so we're already hyper anxious and get us into a state of

00:17:42.620 positivity and gratitude because if we could do that then you won't have violence it's the same

00:17:48.360 thing when you're trying to persuade somebody to see your worldview it's just not the right time

00:17:53.440 and if they are really hyper anxious about something the usual you know subtle step of

00:18:00.100 asking them questions, unless you're really trained in it, that may work against you. Just

00:18:05.200 asking them questions will set them off. So it's just not the right time. You have to look for

00:18:10.220 the right time and opportunity where those three elements are there.

00:18:14.360 So, you know, you guys, and you don't have to engage in these conversations at all. But if you

00:18:19.200 think that, you know, maybe someone is misrepresenting you and who you are and what you

00:18:25.300 think, I think it's worth it to just straighten out where you're coming from. Because I don't

00:18:29.300 think anybody listening to this show right now is a bad person. And I'm sure there are a bazillion

00:18:35.720 people that think that we are bad people because of one thing or another. So I do like to stick up

00:18:41.700 for myself. I try to do it calmly and rationally. I try to find something in common that we can agree

00:18:49.460 on and like have a common goal. Like, you know, we all want a peaceful life. We all want, you know,

00:18:54.740 happiness and to protect our families and blah blah blah and then like it's like okay like okay

00:18:59.940 yeah yeah I want that too I want that too and you know and then maybe it's just like maybe what we

00:19:04.280 think that has to happen or in between all that is different but if we take away all the noise

00:19:09.900 we're still two people who want the same outcomes for our family and for ourselves and the rest is

00:19:16.640 like almost none of our business so we get so involved with it sometimes that um I have a friend

00:19:23.460 And like now our thing is when we're like, oh, my God, this happened and that happened.

00:19:26.480 And we're like, F it.

00:19:28.120 What are we going to do about it?

00:19:29.160 You know, and it's like we have to vote.

00:19:30.900 And that's the only thing you can do.

00:19:32.080 And once the election's over, you've got to kind of sit back and do your thing.

00:19:36.040 But just that to say that persuade when you can, but don't make it your full time job or you'll be full time crazy unless you're getting full time pay for it.

00:19:47.840 That's different.

00:19:48.520 But so just pick and choose your battles.

00:19:52.160 And if you feel yourself getting really emotional, like BJ said, it's not the right time for the conversation.

00:19:57.720 You can always revisit it.

00:19:59.320 But I needed that today as a little reminder.

00:20:03.220 And like I said, and always tell the other person to calm down.

00:20:07.380 Calm down.

00:20:08.380 That's great advice.

00:20:10.700 There are a couple of stories I remember from Scott that I thought might be relevant here.

00:20:14.020 One is that he he had a technique where when he was arguing with someone either online or otherwise, he would say something like, what do you know, what do you think I believe that is different than what you believe?

00:20:24.500 Like, you know, where do you think our beliefs differ? Because I think in many cases it's based on faulty assumptions.

00:20:29.480 And if you can get someone to say, well, I think you believe this, you know, then you have something that is probably easy for you to argue because you're the ultimate authority on what you believe.

00:20:37.640 And, you know, you can say, well, that's not right. That's not what I believe.

00:20:41.080 And it puts you in a little bit more of a power position to say, you know, I think we actually agree on a lot of things that you think we disagree on.

00:20:48.080 And if you can put them in those terms, it might actually get some of that common ground established that you wouldn't either way.

00:20:53.560 And then the other story that I thought was kind of amazing is he said at various points in his life, he's been at gunpoint or at knife point and mugged and things like that.

00:21:01.900 And I remember one time he said, I just kept talking to the person like nothing was going on, like it was just the normal people talking to each other.

00:21:08.120 Like I didn't even acknowledge that he was sticking a knife at me and threatening to

00:21:12.740 stab me.

00:21:13.480 And he just like kept talking about totally different, unrelated things.

00:21:17.080 And then eventually just the guy walked away or something.

00:21:20.080 It's like, this isn't fun.

00:21:22.680 That's not the reaction I wanted.

00:21:24.100 I don't know that I would necessarily recommend that to people and I've never been mugged

00:21:27.240 myself, so I can't say what I would do.

00:21:28.980 But I did find it interesting that sometimes if you just sort of remove yourself from the

00:21:33.740 frame completely, you might be able to sort of navigate in a different direction.

00:21:37.420 And so I thought that was pretty interesting.

00:21:39.640 I love this comment from V8 Jeep 360 guy.

00:21:42.860 You don't say this when somebody pulls a gun on you.

00:21:45.200 You don't say, take a chill pill.

00:21:48.560 So good.

00:21:49.760 Yep, I know.

00:21:50.960 That's right.

00:21:51.580 It's just like saying calm down.

00:21:53.520 I love that.

00:21:54.260 I hope some of what we talked about is helpful to everybody at some point in time.

00:21:59.580 So that's great.

00:22:00.540 All right, thanks for amusing me with that.

00:22:03.500 I wanted to revisit that.

00:22:07.460 So, okay, you guys, it's SpaceX Day.

00:22:11.400 I wish I had some kind of, like, you know, moon music playing and rocket launching sound.

00:22:17.500 So today, it's official IPO day.

00:22:21.520 Oh, well, I'll just play this clip, and this will fill you in.

00:22:23.860 So this is a big day for Elon and for SpaceX and for humanity.

00:22:29.300 ...day for Wall Street as the company makes its stock market debut.

00:22:33.720 Fox Business reporter Jerry Willis joins us now with the details.

00:22:36.680 Jerry, is this like your Super Bowl?

00:22:39.180 Yes, it's exactly like my Super Bowl.

00:22:42.440 Todd Carley, good morning to you.

00:22:44.060 We have shares of SpaceX starting trading today on the NASDAQ for the first time

00:22:48.960 in what is expected to be the biggest public offering of stock ever.

00:22:53.040 $75 billion worth of shares.

00:22:55.480 We're expecting a share price of $135.

00:22:59.080 Take it or leave it.

00:22:59.800 That's going to be the number.

00:23:01.000 Ticker SPCX.

00:23:02.820 But the big headline, if all goes according to plan,

00:23:06.200 and CEO Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire.

00:23:10.480 In addition, and this is important, some 4,000 employees will become millionaires,

00:23:15.420 at least on paper, due to their stock options.

00:23:19.300 Today's IPO offering is the culmination of weeks of planning and sales pitches to professional investors.

00:23:24.980 It's what they call the dog and pony show.

00:23:26.840 However, SpaceX is allocating an unprecedented 30% of IPO shares for regular investors

00:23:34.140 on platforms like Fidelity, Robinhood, E-Trade.

00:23:37.760 Fidelity is even lowering the bar for regular investors to get into the deal,

00:23:42.460 allowing people with just 2,000 in their accounts to snag shares.

00:23:46.600 Usually that threshold is 100,000.

00:23:49.460 Now, this doesn't mean shareholders will have a big voice in the company.

00:23:52.980 Musk will retain the majority voting power in the company.

00:23:56.780 And as you know, SpaceX has three main businesses,

00:23:59.200 the reusable rocket business, Starlink satellites, and XAI.

00:24:02.920 Should you buy? Well, consider this. About a quarter of IPO stocks lose at least half of their value in the three years after listing day. Todd?

00:24:42.160 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket

00:24:46.380 takes you to more than just your destination.

00:24:49.400 It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music,

00:24:54.040 and new shared memories.

00:24:56.060 And when the last song fades,

00:24:58.160 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:25:00.460 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.

00:25:08.240 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:25:10.040 When you travel, travel well.

00:25:12.720 We have a lot of sports to watch today.

00:25:14.440 I feel like this is a sport to watch as well.

00:25:17.180 I agree.

00:25:17.940 Then why are we trying to buy it if it's going to lose half of its value in three years?

00:25:22.720 Because I don't think that'll happen.

00:25:24.280 But that's not advice.

00:25:25.360 I know literally nothing.

00:25:27.660 Oh, and I'm going to come to you first.

00:25:30.520 You don't have to, nobody has to disclose what they did, what they're doing, what they're

00:25:34.040 not doing.

00:25:34.800 But what do, what are we thinking about this today?

00:25:37.560 Well, first, okay, nevermind.

00:25:39.460 I was going to say the, the, for me, at least the video was still on the screen, but just

00:25:43.500 went away.

00:25:45.100 Yeah.

00:25:45.580 I mean, I don't, you know, I don't normally get involved with IPO stuff or try and buy

00:25:50.160 stock right away.

00:25:51.120 And I certainly have seen the pattern that there is a fair number that at least lose

00:25:54.660 some value after they launch.

00:25:56.140 it's very typical that they might dip for a little bit so if you were trying to get in

00:26:00.440 don't worry about too much because you probably will have an opportunity maybe at some point i

00:26:04.180 can't guarantee of course but it may be end up being somewhat cheaper than 135 at some point

00:26:09.260 but i think um you know it's an interesting thing i think it's certainly a a lot of us are elon fans

00:26:17.260 and think he's going to do great things and so um it may be just an exciting thing to say he's

00:26:23.180 getting that infusion of cash that he needs to grow his business even faster and i don't know

00:26:28.240 if we'll reach mars like he says he is but i don't count elon out for anything because he's

00:26:33.720 done so many impossible things this is just one more impossible thing so um i would certainly say

00:26:39.380 it's possible that he's going to reach all his goals and get that trillion dollar pay package

00:26:42.840 and probably have earned every cent of it if we if we got to that i think wasn't it like

00:26:46.960 a million people or something living on mars was the metric or something like but then he switched

00:26:51.980 it to the moon because mars was too difficult and it took too long to get there so the plan is like

00:26:57.920 mission to the moon now to live on the moon i i suppose okay are you gonna be living on the moon

00:27:03.100 i mean i'll go yeah yeah if i can bring george um my cat yeah i'll go all right well you can

00:27:12.540 toss your cat around in low gravity then right you guys i know i'm not forgetting stella i'm just

00:27:19.680 saying Stella probably won't be with us by the time this happens. So I'd bring her if she will, 0.92

00:27:25.220 if she is here. So wait, where am I? See back there? There's my I love Elon hat. I do. So BJ,

00:27:34.320 to the moon with this stock, what do you what do you think about it?

00:27:39.520 I think in terms of the stock, I mean, the process is similar to other IPOs with one

00:27:44.960 difference, that they're allocating 30% shares to retail investors, which is highly unusual.

00:27:51.160 And what's interesting is the amount of control that Elon has. I'm not critical of that. I

00:27:56.200 understand why. He always said that in order to get to Mars, it would have to remain a private

00:28:02.680 company. But he's, I don't want to say reneged on that, but it's awfully pricey to do so.

00:28:09.340 And he's got his other project with the self-growing cities related to Optimus that he's

00:28:13.980 got to manage at the same time i think broadly um like if people are going to buy stock or not

00:28:19.500 look i bought tesla stock at 25 a share so i fired my stockbroker over it because he's like i don't

00:28:25.640 do high flyers and i said to him i don't think you understand the philosophy that seems to be at play

00:28:32.880 with elon musk and how he operates like you can all feel the energy i think of how the world is

00:28:40.720 fundamentally changing in a positive way this is why x frustrates me it's all a bunch of uh i know 0.67

00:28:46.440 it's a bunch of old boomers that are bitching and complaining about how horrible the world is i'm 0.84

00:28:51.540 like yeah it's got its problems but look where we are shifting like this guy single-handedly 0.99

00:28:56.980 redefined the auto sector in good ways and bad ways there's no question there's you know the

00:29:02.460 trade-offs for everything and now he is going to popularize into our culture regular conversations

00:29:09.080 in the mainstream of when are we going to get to the moon and when are we going to get to mars right

00:29:15.600 do you remember when scott adams taught a few years ago he was covering the story it was all

00:29:21.320 over the place with sam altman and elon musk both talking about they think they have solved the

00:29:28.560 fusion problem it's now down to an engineering problem remember that well i think part of this

00:29:35.340 It may be just because I'm primed to this because I just finished watching The Expanse.

00:29:40.460 And that just died.

00:29:42.540 All of a sudden, nobody talked about it anymore.

00:29:44.900 But I watched a whole series of articles on this fusion technology and propulsion.

00:29:52.580 And it just so happens there's an element that could be integral to fusion propulsion.

00:29:58.900 And it's called helium-3.

00:30:00.620 it was there's a couple of science fiction movies that that covered helium 3 as well in their plots

00:30:05.780 and that is in abundance we think in the southern pole of the moon which is exactly where elon and

00:30:13.620 nasa have decided they're going to set up their first uh you know colon colony if you want to call

00:30:20.460 it in on the moon so i think there's like everything else in politics we only see 30

00:30:26.220 percent of what's actually going on i think there is a long-term vision with all of this stuff but

00:30:31.780 look how amazing and positive it is how much positive like the fact that we are back into

00:30:37.900 like the night remember the 1950s where our parents grew up and all the futurism and future

00:30:43.340 technology and how the world's going to change for a better place we're now in that moment right now

00:30:49.260 And I think this IPO is a symbol of how how great the world we are in the best time to be alive, I believe.

00:30:58.360 And I wish him lots of success. And I thank Elon for everything he's done for for humanity.

00:31:04.100 I, I agree. You're spending too much time on X then.

00:31:10.640 Yeah, I know I am. I mean, I literally turn on X and I am like instantly sick to my stomach.

00:31:16.620 But yes, it's true. It's true. I don't spend too much time on there anymore. All right. So but then, Owen, I saw a story you posted this morning. Well, let me just put this up. Owen, do you want I want to put this up? If you want to, you know, we always have you read Trump's truths. Let me make it bigger. So here's what Trump said yesterday.

00:31:40.460 So Trump said the United States will be hitting Iran, whose Navy, Air Force, radar, anti-aircraft and all their forms of defense together with most its offensive capability are gone.

00:31:50.000 Very hard tonight.

00:31:51.760 At some point in the not too distant future, we'll be taking Karg Island and all other oil infrastructure points and assume total control of their oil and gas markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. 0.52

00:32:04.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter.

00:32:05.300 okay and then what did iran say back well apparently iran is threatening to attack

00:32:13.240 spacex and starlink facilities in the middle east so interesting timing i guess um with the ipo today

00:32:19.760 but um they're basically saying that musk's spacex and starlink facilities are military targets

00:32:27.560 so they're considering the military targets that they can in their mind legitimately go after

00:32:32.060 um so yeah not not great how they're trying to attack these things i think it certainly in my

00:32:39.060 mind would be civilian facilities that should not be targeted militarily i can understand that they

00:32:43.960 have played a role in some military operations like with ukraine etc where the starlink terminals

00:32:48.980 have been used for military applications but that doesn't really mean that they are

00:32:52.340 you know dual use military technology i think it's literally just an internet connection as

00:32:57.960 far as starlink goes and i don't know what spacex would have to do with it unless they're thinking

00:33:01.920 that we just shouldn't have any satellites but um you know i think it is something that um

00:33:08.060 hopefully won't be followed through on or that we'll be able to protect against

00:33:11.120 um beverly asked what will they blow it up with exactly good luck to them

00:33:19.940 so all right so i don't even know i mean that was that was like 15 years ago because that was

00:33:29.120 from last night in an Iran war update.

00:33:32.880 So where are we now this morning?

00:33:36.360 Well, it's another one of these two movies

00:33:39.360 on one screen things where on one hand,

00:33:43.160 there were strikes overnight that took out some things.

00:33:47.100 And obviously recently there's been strikes from Iran

00:33:50.480 into Kuwait and other places.

00:33:52.900 But I think at the same time,

00:33:54.940 Trump is saying that they have some kind of memorandum

00:33:56.900 of understanding and that they're about to make a deal

00:33:58.780 and it might happen this weekend and it might be the end of it.

00:34:01.680 So we're still, in my mind, in the same mode we've been in for a few weeks

00:34:06.320 where it's like you really don't know.

00:34:07.620 It's like Schrodinger's war where it might be over, it might not.

00:34:11.140 It could blow up at any time.

00:34:12.540 It could end at any time.

00:34:13.980 And we really don't know what the situation is

00:34:16.200 because you have statements coming out on both sides.

00:34:19.100 There have been stories that say Iran is denying that they've agreed to any of these things.

00:34:23.460 They've denied that they've agreed to getting rid of their nuclear program

00:34:26.880 or getting rid of the nuclear dust or all the other things that have been conditions of this deal.

00:34:31.840 But at the same time, Trump is saying, yeah, they've already agreed to all these things.

00:34:35.760 So I don't know how we can know what the truth is, because it could be that Trump is right,

00:34:41.460 that the people he's negotiating with have agreed to some of these things.

00:34:44.040 But maybe they're totally separate people that are just saying we didn't agree to that.

00:34:47.920 And so, you know, I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.

00:34:51.860 It's kind of just up in the air at this point.

00:34:54.440 All right, BJ, have you heard anything that we need to know about with this?

00:34:59.560 I think just the importance of the framing that a lot of people miss. 0.99

00:35:03.740 And maybe for me, we deal a lot with this Iranian BS in Canada 0.54

00:35:07.880 because we had until recently, we actually had two IRGC members of parliament 1.00

00:35:13.700 that somehow got elected to office.

00:35:16.680 I think the couple of things that's important to remember is firstly,

00:35:20.000 Trump knows the IRGC, the Iranian mullahs, they have to go. 0.97

00:35:23.320 he knows that he's not dumb and neither of the people around him are are dumb but and this is 0.84

00:35:29.340 something i think scott illustrated at some point trump is a master salesman right we all agree with 0.99

00:35:37.780 that yep which means he's a bullshit artist and i don't say that necessarily necessarily in a 1.00

00:35:45.200 negative context but he's a bullshit artist and he knows he's dealing with a bunch of bullshit 1.00

00:35:50.180 artists on the other side who are going to try to kick the can down the road until the next 0.99

00:35:55.340 administration comes in i think what's important is to factor the political cycle so you know i

00:36:02.280 know from my republican friends uh in the u.s that the the fundraising time is the beginning of the

00:36:08.560 year starts you know after new year's january february march that's where you get the earmarked

00:36:13.520 commitments to the the packs and the donors who's going to give money when they're going to do so

00:36:17.880 that gets done in the first part of the year and trails off into the summer where people go

00:36:22.320 go away and during the summer this is like vacation season like people aren't around

00:36:26.820 because politics i know from my campaigns politics starts after labor day and you know maybe there's

00:36:34.560 going to be some october surprises and maybe president showman whose marketing technique

00:36:41.560 seems to come out of wwf wrestling again i'm not saying that as a negative that we're going to see

00:36:47.580 you know, as much as people all back and forth and people get frustrated, they're just bullshitting

00:36:51.660 with each other. They know everybody's lying to each other. He's playing the game. Listen,

00:36:56.660 I said on a space yesterday, if Osama bin Laden came back to life and said, Trump, I can solve

00:37:02.620 your problem. Trump would say, all right, let's see what he got. He's open to doing a deal with

00:37:08.440 anyone as long as he can get a deal. But at the end of the day, he understands this is a subversion

00:37:13.760 technique to weaken him into the primaries. And you're not going to see him in political mode

00:37:20.260 until October on this issue. And they're going to, you know, they're going to waste his time

00:37:25.120 all through the summer, back and forth, blah, blah, blah, blah, BS, BS, whatever. But if they

00:37:29.380 finally haven't done something after Labor Day, you're going to see, boom, okay, it's time to

00:37:34.340 execute the strategy, get rid of them, and let's have some Hail Mary wins leading up into the

00:37:39.860 midterms things like iran and there's another issue where people are very frustrated with which

00:37:45.300 day to day they don't know what's going on when's it going to happen whatever and that is

00:37:49.640 cuba it's the same strategy with both countries and two of which are some of the major political

00:37:56.800 catastrophes from the 20th century and he has i think he has largely solved and i think you're

00:38:03.300 going to see a resolution to both these issues leading into into the midterm so i i wouldn't

00:38:08.040 Again, you're listening to a salesman who's BS-ing the other salesman on the other side.

00:38:13.440 It's just kind of day-to-day, yeah, okay, whatever.

00:38:16.000 We know they're negotiating in public.

00:38:17.840 So, BJ, what would you say to my friend Sophia?

00:38:20.600 She said this is genocide and against Geneva Convention.

00:38:24.560 Sophia doesn't understand what genocide is.

00:38:26.520 She has very little background in it.

00:38:28.660 That's what I would say.

00:38:29.680 People often, this is where Scott often, and this also comes from hypnosis.

00:38:34.060 We get our opinions from the things that we hear more frequently.

00:38:37.560 And if you go online and you keep cherry picking sources that are just going to say genocide, genocide, genocide, genocide, genocide, guess what? After enough times, you're going to adopt it and you're going to think it's your own opinion. But it's really not. So that's a broader conversation to have over a period of time. But that's just people who are regurgitating things that they hear frequently. Simple as that.

00:39:00.800 okay um so by the way if it's genocide why are the biggest proponents of america and israel 0.95

00:39:08.960 striking iran the iranians who live there like they're saying please please bomb the irgc get 0.88

00:39:15.740 rid of them because most it's there's such a divide between iranians who live there under this 0.99

00:39:22.680 you know theocratic regime and the regime who are largely foreigners who don't even belong there 0.53

00:39:28.460 right so they are looking forward to the day that the Iranian regime is gone the same way the Cubans 0.97

00:39:34.680 are looking forward to the day that the Castro regime is finally put to rest

00:39:39.260 okay so I don't know enough about it I mean and remember you guys everything it's just like we say 0.79

00:39:46.480 it's our opinion so yes you're right that's BJ's opinion mine is nowhere near his because I don't

00:39:52.080 know enough about it I just I don't really have a fully thought out opinion on everything

00:39:56.880 um owen anything you want to say to that i have another question after

00:40:01.840 um i i think you know it certainly it it makes sense that trump is paying close attention to

00:40:11.000 the political ramifications of this i've seen that throughout so i think i agree on that piece

00:40:14.420 of it that he's gauging his actions according to how it's affecting the stock market how it's

00:40:21.280 affecting political views but at the same time i think he is sticking to being in the strong

00:40:26.040 position, making sure that he's seen as the strong player and that he's in control and

00:40:30.600 maintaining that frame throughout the process. And I think that's part of his negotiation technique

00:40:35.480 and part of, you know, you can call it salesman, it's the same sort of thing. But I think it

00:40:40.460 definitely is something where Trump is trying to do what's best for the United States in this

00:40:45.240 context. And at least as he understands it, it's that we can't allow Trump to have, I mean,

00:40:50.320 Iran to have a nuclear weapon. So, you know, I see it in that context. I am concerned mainly on

00:40:57.740 the impact on the economy because it might be true that no one's going to, you know, anything

00:41:02.640 that happens politically in terms of the rhetoric or the narrative might not matter until we're

00:41:07.200 closer to the midterms. I think the economy is, in my mind, one of the deciding factors,

00:41:12.020 probably the deciding factor in the midterms. If we have much lower prices on gas and other things

00:41:16.500 back in the October and November timeframe, then people are more likely to vote Republican to keep

00:41:21.820 that going. But if things are really expensive and gas prices are $5 a gallon and everything

00:41:27.560 is looking bad economically from an affordability perspective, then I think Republicans are going

00:41:33.080 to lose a lot of votes and it may end up going to the Democrats. So that's my concern.

00:41:38.040 I'm with you, EJ. We should be fixing America instead of helping Iran by bombing them trying 1.00

00:41:43.100 to change your way of life yada yada that's my common sense thought and then i know that there's 0.83

00:41:50.060 people like bj who are like no no like there's a bigger picture and i think i'm just more middle

00:41:56.200 of the road i know it's not you guys i don't have tds everybody relax okay um it's okay it's just my

00:42:03.300 opinion um i just see a thousand things that need to be fixed here at home none of which are

00:42:10.260 happening, um, in my opinion, as always. So, you know, I, yeah, so I, I'm like, um, I say I'm over

00:42:17.900 it. Like, you know, I want, I want there to be peace all over the world. That's just, you know,

00:42:22.200 not realistic. I really do. Um, and I feel like I see all sides of this story from everybody's

00:42:28.060 perspective and I'm just like, I agree with you. I agree with you. Yes. BJ, I see your point. Sophia,

00:42:32.400 I totally see your point. Owen, I totally see your point. I have my point. So to me, it's like,

00:42:37.660 I don't think anybody's really right or wrong. Um, I feel like we all have these differing

00:42:43.500 opinions and for our own good reasons. So I can't get that dug in on it. But one thing I am very

00:42:50.620 dug in on, um, and BJ, I'm going to come to you first on this is the Islam problem that we were

00:42:58.500 having in this country. And all I want to know, I've reached out to some of my friends who are

00:43:04.860 like best friends with trump and i'm like just tell me he understands this and he's going to

00:43:10.540 take care of islam in america and um you know my one friend's like you know don't you worry you

00:43:17.280 know like he knows what's going on i'm like but what are we doing what are we doing so you know

00:43:21.640 we just uh we see belfast ireland they just had an attempted beheading in the middle of the street

00:43:28.100 by a migrant who just, you know, flooded into their country, pinned this Irishman down,

00:43:35.520 sitting on his chest, literally trying to like saw his face off. Okay. And we just had a beheading 0.81

00:43:43.880 in Italy, same situation, beheaded an elderly woman in Italy. I'm mentioning two, there's

00:43:51.800 probably a hundred. And BJ, I know you were just in Ireland. Um, I personally, I am like a hundred

00:44:00.160 percent behind the Irish people fighting for their country. It's like, you're screaming into a pillow

00:44:07.260 and your government doesn't give a shit. They're not helping you. They don't care. And I feel like 0.99

00:44:12.140 that here. I feel like that here, um, that we're screaming that we have an Islam problem and I don't

00:44:18.820 see anything happening about it. I just keep seeing them being advanced into political positions 1.00

00:44:24.420 and positions of powers, taking over our streets, taking over our schools, taking over our way of

00:44:30.700 life. There are a lot more of them than Christian people, Jewish people, put them all together. 0.99

00:45:10.820 that's why we're focusing on iran that's the whole point this is this is the process of political

00:45:18.980 entryism of geopolitics that these people are affiliated with the iranian regime uh and qatar

00:45:25.460 but although there's a little bit of friction now so maybe they can come over to us although

00:45:29.220 their muslim brotherhood i'm not so sure uh but they are laundering masses of amounts of money 0.52

00:45:34.740 hundreds of millions billions of dollars into the west to subvert the universities and the 0.99

00:45:39.940 the political process. And if you want to see an example of that, Canada is the perfect example,

00:45:44.640 and they're trying to do that in the United States. That's why, if you're really concerned

00:45:49.520 about the Islamists and extremists, this is why Iran is so important. It's why they don't stop 1.00

00:45:54.300 talking about it, because it's been going on now for 50 years. If you notice, you can follow the

00:45:59.040 trajectory of the major cultural shift towards collectivism and the brainwashing on university 1.00

00:46:05.300 campuses and when it got accelerated it was accelerated significantly after the mullahs got

00:46:11.260 into power and them and the brotherhood both in the brotherhood's documentation what did they say

00:46:17.220 in the holy land foundation trial and evidence that was submitted in court is that we are going

00:46:22.940 to use palestine to leverage a wedge within the west and they're going to do it through the

00:46:29.600 university system it's exactly this is why it's so important what trump's trying to do is trying

00:46:34.820 to cut off the head of the snake and the money that's coming in and you see the result of it on

00:46:40.660 the ground level of now it's gotten to the point where it's become excessively violent because

00:46:45.720 now that they have enough of these people who've engaged in political entryism and hold

00:46:50.860 positions of power in the west what do they do they open up the borders and they flood the 0.87

00:46:58.620 countries with Islamists. That's the whole purpose of all of this. And, you know, it's really scary. 1.00

00:47:04.880 I think what a lot of people missed about, I mean, yesterday there was the woman in Italy.

00:47:10.980 Wait, can I just jump in really quick? I just, I just want to say, so yes, Scott said focus on

00:47:17.400 individuals, not groups. Scott also knew and has said that Islam is, it's a different problem. 0.95

00:47:23.720 and and um i just wanted to address someone else said oh and by the way islam's not a religion you 0.87

00:47:31.960 guys so um it's not a religion it's an ideology and the ideology is to get rid of anyone who's

00:47:39.020 not them and take over the world okay it's not a religion so i just want to make sure i say that

00:47:43.360 clearly um okay and bj um i'm gonna toss it back to you but i want to know how it's going to affect

00:47:51.060 us here in america like how are we getting rid of these people because i don't or canada i don't see

00:47:55.800 it happening okay so first couple things uh yeah individualism is a western value as a product of 0.93

00:48:03.620 the enlightenment the islamists are collective so they don't hold individual values right they don't

00:48:09.880 view the world the same way as we do these are completely different filter with the ireland thing

00:48:14.940 the one thing i wanted to mention that people missed is remember all the reports that he had

00:48:19.660 the guy is now blind, or at least half blind or something, an eye was taken out, and he was trying

00:48:24.700 to cut off his nose. Well, if you look at a picture of the Sphinx in Egypt, what do you see? Or the

00:48:30.740 statues in Rome, what do you see? They all have the noses and the eyes gouged out. That is an

00:48:36.560 indicator of extremist interpretation of Islamic texts from the Hadiths. That's why he was doing it. 0.95

00:48:43.020 That is a signal that they are extremists, and that seems to go over people's heads

00:48:48.560 significantly wow uh the way to fix it in the west unfortunately the only way to do it i mean

00:48:54.340 look there's good and there's bad the good is it's sort of like when trump the trump administration

00:49:00.240 went to washington and what did they say they said of all the crimes that occurred in dc it's

00:49:06.500 something like 85 percent of them were committed by i don't know it was 500 people or something

00:49:11.400 like that or 100 people a small group of people right it's the same thing in the muslim world

00:49:16.720 Like, we know who they are in Canada. There's 300 or 400 people. They are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure, Jamaat-e-Slami, or PFLP. They're all affiliated groups under the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella. That's why Trump said he was going to ban them.

00:49:30.720 And they'll set up an NGO. They'll start laundering money through international law firms that come from the Morsi government in Egypt and play nice with everybody, and they're involved in politics.

00:49:41.240 they're the ones who bring it in but it's the same group of people and once one of their charities

00:49:46.560 loses status then what do they do they shut it down and their brother or uncle or father starts

00:49:52.860 another charity that starts doing the same thing it's really those core group of people the hardcore

00:49:59.640 islamists who and they're usually lawyers or physicists or chemists they're highly educated 1.00

00:50:05.380 people those are the ones who need to be denaturalized and deported and permanently banned 0.96

00:50:13.080 along with their entire families which is that's difficult for people in the west to digest because

00:50:19.740 our filter is around individualism but we need to understand they are exactly like communists but

00:50:26.400 or might be like the mafia is a better example they keep it within the family and they're very

00:50:30.660 collective in how they're they go about trying to subvert the west that's really the only thing

00:50:36.280 that's going to solve the problem over the long term and there are constitutional challenges but

00:50:41.300 we see from the trump administration uh he's willing to look at the loopholes to get rid of

00:50:46.280 some of these people because i know this is an ongoing conversation behind the scenes and the

00:50:50.500 other good thing is everybody knows everybody in politics knows even the lefties know they're just

00:50:56.600 afraid because they're all cowards in politics they always think well the next election will

00:51:01.880 deal with it or the next administration they'll deal with it i you know if i talk about this the

00:51:07.700 media is going to attack me and i won't get elected they don't and trump seems to be one

00:51:12.380 of the few politicians rupert lowe in the uk as well who understands no no people respect

00:51:18.400 strength and honesty even even when they disagree with you then then you're going to get

00:51:24.320 Remember, we talked about prestige, where they'll be willing to listen to you.

00:51:29.360 OK, suicidal empathy. People are scared. You better stop being scared. I mean, grow up. All right, Owen, go ahead.

00:51:37.500 Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's it is a serious issue. I think we need to do everything we can to keep the Islamists from taking control in the country. 1.00

00:51:46.940 um i think from what i've seen the as bj was referring to trump did designate the muslim 0.98

00:51:53.940 brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization so i think he is taking it seriously but i think

00:51:58.260 he's primarily looking at it from a counterterrorism standpoint and a border standpoint so they've

00:52:04.340 designated a lot of the countries that we're talking about where these people are coming from

00:52:07.600 as places where we won't let people in um and so he's trying to keep the at least the terrorists

00:52:14.860 out and um to get rid of any that are here and so i think trump is taking action about that and

00:52:21.260 he's also taking military action to get rid of al-qaeda in africa and other places that isn't

00:52:27.320 talked about very much you know we just had a pretty major military operation in africa that

00:52:31.260 doesn't really seem to ever get talked about in the news but um it had to do with eliminating

00:52:35.520 isis in africa and so there are actions being taken but i think it's um very targeted and i

00:52:43.400 don't know that it is as much as you'd like to see um you know someone who a lot of people in

00:52:49.620 this broadcast don't like john cornyn um as a senator has proposed legislation it's amusingly

00:52:55.100 called the boot sharia law act which is ban outsiders openly touting sharia law um in may

00:53:02.560 and um that's at this point just a proposed law but it would potentially bar any non-citizens from

00:53:09.320 any kind of asylum or green cards or things like that that are counting sharia law so i guess you

00:53:15.820 could at least be behind the law if not the person um to see if we could get that passed and um that

00:53:21.860 would probably go a long way to helping with what you're talking about i mean how is ilhan omar still

00:53:27.260 in office how well well the fbi i think is investigating her and i don't know if you're

00:53:33.360 under investigation and you're in office, you need to leave office. Like if the FBI has enough

00:53:39.420 to investigate you, you're the wrong person for the job. I don't know. We're so lax about this

00:53:44.880 shit. You know, it's like, these are the people that are, I mean, they're not helping us. You 0.99

00:53:50.160 know, we, I only see them as people that are interfering and taking down our country. I don't

00:53:55.360 much about Islam. I'm talking about politicians. So it's like, if you were born here and like I

00:54:01.260 said, you should have generational citizenship. Like you can't, like your parents had you here.

00:54:12.160 No, like your grandparents had to have been here. Like there has to go back in the lineage

00:54:16.720 because we are so effed. I mean, remember you guys, when I showed you some of the Sharia law 0.75

00:54:23.140 laws and rules, you can do whatever you want to advance Sharia and advance Islam. You can lie, 1.00

00:54:30.840 you can cheat you can say whatever you have to say you can you can do whatever you want to do 1.00

00:54:36.500 it's all on the table as long as you're advancing islam so these people will lie right to your face 1.00

00:54:43.480 they're not a religion you guys it's not a religion it's a it's a a way of life and they 0.96

00:54:50.180 believe if you're not them you shouldn't even exist okay so you're talking about people taking

00:54:58.360 over the world i mean they're taking over the world and um you know it's like i i don't know

00:55:05.740 why people aren't taking this like the most serious problem we have right now because i'm 0.98

00:55:10.220 looking on x and i'm seeing the streets flooded with radical islam i don't even need to say 0.71

00:55:17.440 radical islam is radical um it has nothing to do with the constitution our way of life these people 0.54

00:55:22.860 have no desire to assimilate or to even pretend to assimilate. I just saw a guy did a video. He

00:55:28.920 got in a taxi with, uh, some Islam guy and the guy was giving him trouble. And he was like, Hey,

00:55:36.740 you know, just complete my fare, you know, and take me. He's like, he was basically like with

00:55:41.980 his accent, like no mother effer. He's like, this is our country now. New York belongs to me now.

00:55:47.620 And you're outnumbered and you know, you're, it's not yours anymore. We took it. And it's

00:55:52.740 like that's really their attitude and you know go back and watch the interview with dr gad sad

00:55:58.620 and what he said this suicidal empathy like we're creating potentially our own end of our country

00:56:05.720 because we're afraid to say something what you're going to hurt someone's feelings nobody gives a 0.98

00:56:11.820 shit about the feelings of the american citizens so we got to be like uh-oh until they're beheading 0.98

00:56:17.740 someone you love in the street and gouging their face off you know it's like stop it this is 1.00

00:56:23.860 insanity your kids have to grow up and like I said to you the other day like I don't have kids

00:56:28.740 when I'm done I'm done I don't have to worry about my children and their children a lot of you do

00:56:34.560 and you know I'm sorry I'm getting really emotional but I think this is our number one problem right

00:56:40.180 now in this country and in this world because we don't want to offend people we're like just 0.66

00:56:45.460 murder us instead okay that's how i see it so by the way according to some islamist in the chat 0.84

00:56:52.020 i'm going to collect a seven thousand dollar check i'm like where i just blew a water pump 0.98

00:56:56.660 on my truck yesterday i would love for the love of god for opposing the muslim brotherhood that'd 0.97

00:57:02.680 be great oh my god yeah exactly so i just i i pray i pray you guys you know i don't know i don't know 1.00

00:57:13.260 how and who, but workshop this with your friends. Like talk about it with the moms, you know,

00:57:17.680 the dads, you know, maybe you guys can come up with a plan, you know, like go talk to your

00:57:22.080 representatives. I know it seems like nothing ever happens, but make a stink. You know,

00:57:26.940 sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the oil and they have, you know, there's towns in New Jersey that

00:57:31.960 are blasting the call to prayer. Are you kidding me? Like you, you live in this town your whole

00:57:38.140 life and now this call to prayer is being broadcast over speakers multiple times a day and

00:57:44.700 you don't have a say and this is america i mean it's so bizarre so i'm gonna get off my rant but

00:57:51.260 um you know unless bj and owen want to say something but i get really worked up over this

00:57:56.120 this is actually like my biggest fear so that's why i'm emotional but all right just one last

00:58:01.940 comment on this topic i've asked people this a number of times people in the know you link to

00:58:07.260 politics in the u.s i always say to them give me five primary indicators that the person you're

00:58:12.760 talking to is muslim brotherhood go and then they stare at me like with a blank stare i said don't

00:58:19.180 you think that's a problem the fact that we have not educated our own people what are the signs to 0.98

00:58:24.940 look for for the very people who are trying to kill you i tell the access people at a conference 0.98

00:58:30.020 with a bunch of jewish people i said they're trying to exterminate you what are the five 0.97

00:58:34.020 indicators and warnings you know somebody's muslim brotherhood not a clue maybe that's a place that

00:58:38.840 we can start i may be putting an article together in my sub stack in the near future and submitting

00:58:43.360 it to some of the publications to see if we can start that ball forward yeah i'd love to see um

00:58:48.260 like a bullet point thing you know something that people can just look at and their eyes can just

00:58:53.280 kind of take a photo of it and and then know it i'll give you a hint number one free palestine

00:58:58.640 that's your number one indicator as we know from holy land but anyways okay all right owen any last 0.91

00:59:04.920 words on this well i i think uh certainly we do need to stamp out the sharia law stuff especially 0.97

00:59:10.220 whenever it's going i think given the rights and freedoms that we have in this country some of the

00:59:15.100 free speech stuff is more difficult to handle but sharia law is fundamentally incompatible with our 0.98

00:59:20.180 legal system and so wherever that's cropping up i think we need to put it put it down and and that 0.98

00:59:24.760 includes what's going on in michigan where they're kind of making room for that stuff

00:59:27.940 obviously some up in minnesota and even down in texas and i think texas is doing the most

00:59:32.960 to counteract it where they're trying to say we can't have like a muslim city or a sharia law city

00:59:37.760 that they were trying to propose but it seems like michigan and minnesota are much more welcoming to

00:59:42.860 these things in a suicidal empathy sort of way and so i think that's where we need to make things

00:59:48.120 happen to just make sure we can't let any of the stuff take root here and but it's true and by the 0.82

00:59:52.900 way all this like gay pride stuff happening in these muslim areas that's all for show you guys

01:03:41.360 don't you hate getting criticized everybody it's not something you can enjoy here's a reframe for

01:03:51.100 you every criticism you receive just play this sound effect when you get it ready

01:04:00.940 Catching

01:04:03.940 Catching

01:04:08.740 Catching

01:04:10.940 Catching

01:04:12.940 Catching

01:04:17.940 Catching

01:04:19.940 Every time something criticizes you, you just made money. Do you know why I say that?

01:04:25.940 Cause you just made money

01:04:28.940 it's true if somebody criticizes my live stream and i'll tell you the biggest criticism i'm hearing

01:04:35.580 is that my shelves are boring now do i feel good that you're telling me that there's something

01:04:43.520 about my thing that i do every day is it good no nobody likes to be criticized it's not like

01:04:51.980 you can enjoy it, but how do I receive it? Do I receive it as, oh, I guess I suck. I 0.96

01:05:00.180 could, right? How easily could I receive a criticism like that as, God, I'm an idiot. 1.00

01:05:06.540 Why did I see it? Obviously those shells need something on them. That'd be real easy, wouldn't 0.99

01:05:11.320 I don't

01:05:12.700 Here's how I hear it

01:05:15.580 Catching

01:05:17.320 Catching

01:05:21.900 Catching

01:05:24.100 Catching

01:05:26.780 Catching

01:05:31.060 Catching

01:05:33.200 I know exactly what to change

01:05:36.600 To do a better job

01:05:38.380 Cause you told me

01:05:40.080 That's like money

01:05:41.100 If somebody hands you a thing that will definitely make you money, what is your feeling about it?

01:05:48.260 Do you feel, oh, I hate it when people give me a thing that makes me make money?

01:05:54.840 I bet most of you think exactly that.

01:05:57.400 Do you think I hate a criticism?

01:05:59.800 Not me.

01:06:01.360 Years ago, when people would criticize my comic, I would hate it, of course.

01:06:07.580 But then I would say, oh, a lot of people are saying the same thing.

01:06:11.100 So I'll change it, and then I would make that change, and that made me rich.

01:06:16.560 I literally got rich by being criticized and understanding the criticism as...

01:06:41.100 Catching

01:06:43.980 Catching

01:06:46.340 Every time I hear one, I say

01:06:50.220 Wait a minute, you just told me how to get richer

01:06:52.380 The same applies if you're not trying to get rich

01:06:54.740 Suppose you just wanted a better social

01:06:57.000 The best advice somebody gave me

01:06:59.240 Was the cruelest thing anybody ever said

01:07:01.440 One day my female friend told me how negative I was

01:07:03.940 And what a bummer it was to listen to

01:07:05.800 Because I was complaining about stuff all the time

01:07:07.880 Now, I was not aware that I was a big complainant

01:07:10.960 I had no idea.

01:07:12.060 I thought I was a person who talked about my day and the funny parts of it.

01:07:15.500 So in my mind, I had no idea that I was having an effect on other people.

01:07:20.180 Once I learned that, do you know how powerful that was?

01:07:23.300 I was able, because it was something I could change,

01:07:25.900 I would become aware of the ratio of negative things I said to positive. 0.99

01:07:29.360 Cha-ching. 0.98

01:07:30.220 It was probably the most important change I've ever made to my social toolbox. 0.99

01:07:35.440 I would say that that one change really, really changed my life.

01:08:05.440 That's the, that's the reframe.

01:08:21.680 So the next time you get criticized, whether personally or whether professionally, say

01:08:29.440 Say to yourself, just try it, like actually say that little sound, cha-ching, not figuratively,

01:08:43.900 I'm not talking figuratively, I mean actually say that, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching,

01:08:50.760 when you hear it, when you hear it, when you hear it, when you hear it.

01:08:59.440 yes love it is it gonna loop back on let's see you guys I love that I love you guys sorry I

01:09:11.560 forgot the closing the closing sip I just was on a tear cha-ching right Sophia just say cha-ching

01:10:13.400 Stella, right on cue. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do our closing sip to Scott, you guys.

01:10:23.540 So I want to thank Shelly and Scott for allowing this show to continue

01:10:27.800 without their cooperation and respect and love for each other. It wouldn't have. So special

01:10:35.120 thanks to them. And you guys, we're going to go out and be useful today. And I don't know,

01:10:43.140 don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself, your family, your country.

01:10:48.900 It's like, it's up to us at this point. So let's go be useful. Touch some grass,

01:10:53.240 get outside, breathe some air if you can, some fresh air. And if we didn't know all this stuff

01:10:59.560 was going on around us, you know, and we could just clear our minds a little bit more, I think

01:11:04.380 it's so helpful. So I'm going to try to do that today. I will be limited on X and very available

01:11:12.380 in the real world. All right, you guys, do not be afraid. Oh, let's go. All right. Closing sip

01:11:17.940 to our beloved Scott. Bye guys. Love you so much. Oh, my throat did a little bubble.

01:11:34.260 Jimmy Wyman. We're going to talk on locals. Okay. About everything. All right. Bye guys. Love you.
