00:06:00.500Like, it's just one of the battery powered ones that you put on your finger.
00:06:03.600And I never dropped blood oxygen at all.
00:06:06.220And I had probably two or three things that were like, OK, I'm not going to take this
00:06:10.200all the time, but I'm going to take it if I get COVID. And I took those and it lasted like two
00:06:14.700or three days. It was kind of just like a bad flu. I had a scratchy throat for a while and then it
00:06:18.760went away. Oh, God bless. All right. Well, we survived it. Never again. I'm not getting it
00:06:23.920again. I don't care if it's here. I'm done. So good morning. My name is Erica. We're here with
00:06:30.220Marcella and Owen who survived COVID. Thank God. And we'd like to welcome you to the Scott Adams
00:06:37.160school. It is June 25th, 2026. Marcella is very excited because right now a lot of Supreme Court
00:06:45.860decisions are coming in. So she's, you know, like a kid in the candy shop wanting to read them all.
00:06:52.760And we do have a guest today, Brandon Darby. He's a journalist slash activist slash informant,
00:07:00.960but most of all expert on all things border and migration and the problems that causes for the
00:07:08.800country. And he's had a very colorful and amazing, interesting life. So he's just running a little
00:07:16.340bit late. In the meantime, Marcella, is there any decision that came in yet that you wanted to talk
00:07:23.660about? Or are you just keeping an eye out? I see some that just came in. Oh, tell us, tell us.
00:07:29.340There's the Wolford versus Lopez. Alito is in the majority, 6-3. Libs were in dissent, of course. Hawaii's law prohibiting licensed concealed carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property. So it looks like that went the way we want it to.
00:07:44.180um so i think that's one of them um looks like the other one is monsanto versus durnell
00:07:55.020kavanaugh was in the majority it was seven to two the dissent was kbj and gorish uh it held that
00:08:02.600um federal insecticide fungicide and rodenticide act expressively preempts the state law failure
00:08:09.860to warn claim so i guess that i don't i guess that's against or is it for the companies i don't
00:08:19.360know i can't really tell i'm just looking at the chat and i uh sophia especially because you're in
00:08:26.800texas yes uh brandon darby is a texas native um and he writes for breitbart pretty much about
00:08:35.200like on like the texas border the cartels um he he's just like really interesting what i like
00:08:43.200about him is that he was a left-wing activist first um and what happened was some of the people
00:08:51.480i mean he can correct me if i'm wrong but some of the people that you know he was protesting with
00:08:57.440um admitted to making some molotov cocktails that they were going to throw and you know he was like
00:09:03.920well, you could end up killing people. And they were just like, I don't care. And so he realized
00:09:10.640this is going way too far. And the feds asked him to become an informant. And he did. He went
00:09:21.480undercover and was able to thwart some plots that were leading up to the RNC, the Republican
00:09:28.980and National Committee Convention. And yes, he was a big tea party guy. And just like really
00:09:37.880interesting. And Owen and I were talking before the show, there's been multiple documentaries
00:09:42.220made about him, one called Informant. So he's just really cool in the fact that he's seen
00:09:50.420things from all different angles and different sides. So I can't wait. Yeah, he was, Scott had
00:09:56.280him on like maybe like eight or nine years ago as um i think like just via periscope maybe and
00:10:04.220that's where i first uh met him and he just gave such an a different perspective than we kept
00:10:11.560hearing about illegal immigration coming over here and you know he made me think about it because i
00:10:18.100wasn't thinking about it so hard but he was just like you know if you import gangs from a third
00:10:23.300world country, they're still those same gangs here in another country. And they still have the same
00:10:28.920beef with each other that they had there, but now they bring their beef here and they're still going
00:10:33.320to fight in the streets and they're still going to do all their gang stuff. It's not like they
00:10:36.700come here and they change. And I was like, oh my God, like, why didn't I ever think of it that way?
00:10:40.800And then of course, you know, we absolutely saw the decline of the immigrants that were coming0.99
00:10:48.600here. It's not like, you know, you would hear, you know, the celebrities making stupid comments1.00
00:10:53.500about like, who's going to clean your bathroom? And it's like, you know what, that's not who's0.99
00:10:57.120coming here or housekeepers, famous people, but it's gang members and, and, you know, cartels
00:11:05.960and drug dealers and sex trafficking, child trafficking, all of the trafficking. And so now
00:11:11.720we're like riddled with these people all over our country and all over the world, but I can only
00:11:17.200speak for America right now, but we're seeing lots of countries falling because of this stuff.
00:11:23.220So I'm going to press mute because Brandon's calling me and you guys talk about another
00:11:27.260decision. Well, it looks like the second one that I talked about, the Wilford versus Lopez was in
00:11:34.480favor of the second and the 14th amendment. So it looks like that went the way we'd want it to,
00:11:38.760that it was saying that this Hawaii law was violating the second amendment and the 14th
00:11:45.320apparently. So that was good. Talk about Mullen. That just came out.
00:11:53.400Which one is this? Mullen. Mullen? M-U-L-L-I-N. See, I'm just surfing X, so I'm just looking.
00:12:00.000Okay, here it is. So the third opinion is Mullen versus Al Atrolado. The court holds that asylum
00:12:06.380seekers do not arrive in the United States for the purposes of federal immigration law until they
00:12:11.360physically cross the border so i guess that would say whatever the issue was someone was arguing
00:12:24.720that they have arrived in the united states in terms of having certain rights or asylum claims
00:12:30.260or whatever and that this it looks like they're ruling against that that they're saying they
00:12:34.940actually have to physically be here to have whatever that asylum thing would be
00:12:40.180i'm pulling up the opinion itself i'm reading it so i'm like i'm reading some of it it says
00:12:49.300an alien standing in mexico does not arrive in the united states by attempting and failing to
00:12:54.340set foot in this country the one i'm waiting for you guys is trump v barbara which is the birth
00:13:01.840right citizenship case which should come out today um well perhaps there they so the supreme
00:13:09.240court can decide to have another day for opinions right now they haven't indicated when that would
00:13:16.100be besides today so that one is a very hot topic as we know and uh there is also um different ones
00:13:26.340which one was it um there's the removal of federal reserve board members trump b cook
00:13:34.680uh you know a lot of them are like trump b trump b slaughter uh whether the ftc statutory
00:13:42.400protections against presidential removal or constitutional um so those three are very
00:13:48.600important to see what power Trump has. But the main one is the Trumpy Barbara, but that has not
00:13:56.680come out, right? Again, I'm just sort of like refreshing the latest. I don't see Trump yet.
00:14:10.040it looks like the roundup case was overturned yeah i think i think what i took away from the
00:14:21.160roundup case was that there was something about having to label it as being causing cancer and
00:14:26.300they said they don't have to because one law preempts the other
00:14:36.200well we can talk about other other cases we talked yesterday about the DC ruling I think
00:14:50.880I kind of butchered it that is that make the road New York the Mark Wayne Mullen State Secretary of
00:14:59.500so it's versus the united states and that's regarding the trump trump uh created a rule in
00:15:09.6602025 expanding the expedited removal so part of the the issue with how many immigrants we have
00:15:17.100illegal immigrants we have is that they all get due process rights it takes forever to remove them0.60
00:15:22.780um and forever it's not their fault it's just the the you know if there's many people in line then0.97
00:15:30.880there will be a wait to be heard by a judge and all sorts of things so this january 2025 expansion
00:15:38.980of the expedite removal rule um was something that trump wanted to administer and do but of
00:15:46.780You know, there came Make the Road New York again and all the other NGOs and they tried to stop it. And so there was a judge at the district court that, you know, held the case, blocked it from moving forward, this new expedited removal.
00:16:06.480The D.C. court held that evocated the district court stay.
00:16:17.140And so basically it allows Trump and the DHS to move forward with expedited removal.
00:16:24.660But so where does expedited removal apply to?
00:16:28.460It applies to immigrants, illegal immigrants that have been here less than two years.
00:16:33.520And what you think about is that when President Biden opened the gates and everybody came in, all these people would not really be part of this expedited removal because it's been more than two years they've been here.
00:16:52.420um and you know even though this started in 2025 where trump came in it doesn't go back to that
00:17:01.260time it goes back to june 23rd monday so basically that's where we are um but most likely what they
00:17:08.600will ask is for an in-bank decision that we talked about but um that's one of the cases
00:17:14.500all right you guys were catching up on the cases just fyi brandon he kept trying to come in
00:17:24.000and um i said how about tomorrow because i want i really want him on for the whole show because
00:17:29.580he's so interesting so he's nice enough to he's going to join us tomorrow you guys
00:17:33.800not late at the same time so we can all come on screen together there's some weird glitch with
00:17:39.280rumble and i just think of scott and laugh when these things happen because you know
00:17:44.180i could hear i can hear the voice of our angel scott cursing in my head right now
00:17:51.160uh so let's see oh stephen lang's pretending i was talking to him so you guys are catching up
00:17:58.840on all of the um court stuff can we do me a favor though because i did want to if we can just like
00:18:05.320shift course for a minute i did want to catch up on what was going on with iran which i wanted to
00:18:10.200do yesterday, but I didn't have time. I don't have any clips today, so I'm just counting on
00:18:16.120what you guys have seen or read. So do either one of you have the latest of what's going on
00:18:21.680with what's happening in Iran? So, I mean, the more intelligent people in the show here
00:18:28.500probably understand why I saw Marco Rubio all over my ex today, but he made a lot of comments
00:18:35.100regarding iran um so the the main issue with the iran deal uh you know you guys talked about it
00:18:42.460last week i'm sure but it's a lot of the iranians come out with their own news and their own
00:18:49.580propaganda and it's like wait it's like the opposite of the of the deal the the mou and so
00:18:56.720and so people are like what's going on are you guys talking to each other because there's a
00:19:01.620difference between what iran says to their people and between what you say and blah blah blah so
00:19:07.320uh i was gonna say president rubio in the future secretary of state marco rubio made a comment on
00:19:16.720that and he pushed back he says the propaganda lies uh being put out by iranian government
00:19:22.660um on negotiation with the united states uh were they're not interested in their press conferences
00:19:29.120he says basically they don't care what they're saying uh Iranian propaganda and all that they
00:19:36.220know it's propaganda what they care about is whether ships are moving in the Strait of Hormuz
00:19:41.660a safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen it means
00:19:48.440building new jails to keep criminals behind bars and it means there's no need to worry when I play
00:19:54.020at the park we're making every corner of ontario safer to make all of ontario safer that's how we
00:20:00.520protect ontario for all of us learn how at ontario.ca safer ontario paid for by the government
00:20:07.720of ontario and then also you can't collect no one can collect tolls for it because it's uh you know
00:20:19.020a waterway you can't collect tolls on so what i or or uh charge on insurance which they call that
00:20:28.120the iranians wanted to charge insurance because it's not a toll but anyways go ahead
00:20:34.420so so so what i've been seeing is that you know we come out and say one thing and then iran's like
00:20:41.640nope nope we're not doing any of that we didn't agree to that you know not happening so basically
00:20:48.600it's just like i feel like i'm just as confused as i always am with this war um that the the
00:20:55.360goalposts keep moving the propaganda keeps flying and of course it's propaganda on both sides so
00:21:01.220um i i don't know owen if you've seen anything beside that um i i'm assuming trump's getting
00:21:08.500pretty freaking fed up and i don't know what that's gonna mean in the long run um i i really
00:21:14.800I'm just like counting on you guys to get me up to speed on that yeah well I mean what I've seen
00:21:19.460is the Schrodinger's war where it's like we don't really know what's happening we don't know what
00:21:22.920was agreed to we don't know what the other side's going to do I think I certainly trust that Trump
00:21:27.720is telling the truth about what's in the MOU but as far as did they actually agree to it or you
00:21:33.720know what did they what are they going to actually do to comply with it that's all still an open
00:21:38.180thing and I think we just have to see how it plays out I don't I don't know that we can do anything
00:21:42.920other than just watch what happens and i think um you know i'm sure it probably will be kind of like
00:21:48.960what happened with gaza where you know trump says okay we're we're done like that's it we have we
00:21:54.800have an agreement and and if you remember gaza was hamas was like the same thing like we didn't
00:21:59.680agree to this we didn't you know and so trump just kind of made it happen right and it's still not
00:22:06.720fully resolved probably because as far as i know hamas hasn't been fully disarmed and there still
00:22:12.520our little uprisings and things that have happened since then that have violated the
00:22:17.020ceasefire and all that. And, but it's certainly not at the scale that it was before. And I think
00:22:22.400that's probably what we're going to see with Iran too, is there'll be little things here and there0.78
00:22:26.320and we'll just kind of move on and almost like pretend it didn't happen or, you know,
00:22:33.460take whatever response we need to, to put a stop to whatever's happening, but otherwise that'll be
00:22:38.060it. And that would be my prediction, is that we just will try and make this deal happen and make
00:22:44.340it, you know, the truth, essentially, even if there are violations. And I'm guessing part of
00:22:51.300it is that they've lost control of their country. You know, they don't really have unified leadership
00:22:55.000at this point. So what the Gayatola says is not necessarily what Goluboff says, is not necessarily
00:23:02.360what the IRGC says, is not necessarily whatever the propaganda outlets there say. And so it'll
00:23:07.980probably take them some time to just get coordinated again assuming that they have some pretty high
00:23:15.560tech drones over there now did you hear that that that you know the our you know our american plane
00:23:21.780that went down like in the first part the pilots now it's been revealed that they said there was
00:23:27.320like a drone swarm that looked like a giant like squid so it had like a big formation with like
00:23:34.300little i don't know if you want to call them like entrails or tentacles that came down below it but
00:23:39.740they said that i believe that that's what took their plane down so i don't know i'm i'm guessing
00:23:46.860what they're getting those maybe from china yeah it could be i mean you know but i guess
00:23:53.220it's hard to know exactly what that was like it sounds like oh it's this jellyfish ufo you know
00:24:00.120think but i'm pretty sure it was just drones and if it was something like the china ones that
00:24:04.200doesn't necessarily mean they're military like i don't know what kind of capabilities they really
00:24:08.200had it might have been just you know the types of drones you see in those shows that china puts on
00:24:13.800where they do these complicated formations and it's all very advanced from a technological
00:24:18.760standpoint but not necessarily from a military capability perspective so maybe they did it just
00:24:23.800to like mess with the plane and it could have been one of the reasons it was taken down but
00:24:29.400But from what I remember, for some of that stuff, it was kind of like accidental or, you know, not necessarily like it attacked the plane.
00:24:37.180Maybe the plane hit the formation. I don't know.
00:24:39.180You know, so it's hard to know exactly what that was.
00:24:42.140And I'm certainly not ready to panic and say, oh, my God, they have, you know, next generation drone technology that's going to take us all down.
00:24:52.080But I do think that is a threat going forward.
00:24:54.100and there was a story i posted today about that how the fbi was saying it's just a matter of time
00:24:58.680before we start seeing some of these drone threats in the united states and you know that's right back
00:25:03.840to scott's prediction of the religion war right where he was talking about that how you can get
00:25:08.380to the point where there's these drones that just can't be stopped and you have to treat it almost
00:25:13.180like a nuclear threat at that point yeah the drones are they're pretty scary i mean you could
00:25:18.440just you know i don't want to scare anyone but you know obviously the technology of just being
00:25:23.180very precise and getting in behind little corners i mean they could fly into your window of your
00:25:28.520house if your windows open it's pretty freaky um marcella i know you had a bunch of stories1.00
00:25:34.460lined up for us today too was there something that you think the the sippers in particular0.99
00:25:40.000need to know about um yeah there's many things they need to know about but um in regards to one
00:25:47.360of the main ones is the postmaster general the there was an executive order in march
00:25:52.100signed by President Trump regarding holding back mail-in ballots of states that did not
00:26:00.740provide their border rules. So then the postmaster general came out and said that he was going to
00:26:09.760move forward with that. Now, there's obviously court cases trying to litigate that issue,
00:26:16.720whether president trump under an executive order can do that but the good thing you guys is that
00:26:24.180there's no block or stay on the rule so postmaster general is moving forward with it so what does
00:26:31.540that look like exactly they wouldn't allow these mail-in ballots to go to certain specific places
00:26:40.100remember we're uh having an election in november um and technically it's federal election even
00:26:47.340though there's state act you know state elections within that um election date um so that's what
00:26:55.360the postmaster journal can do i love it um you know it is what it is i'm sure they're going to
00:27:02.180try to get some kind of state they haven't been able to get one yet so that's good yeah that is
00:27:09.500good i'm i'm glad but i just want to get rid of mail-in ballots altogether personally but it's a
00:27:15.620step i guess in the right direction um there's so many people i keep hearing they're like oh my god
00:27:21.800like we're getting all these ballots sent to our house for people that used to live here family
00:27:26.120members that are dead i'm like this is so insane they did have a right to vote they don't do dare
00:27:33.580they did have a right to vote and now they don't marcella no shade rest in peace but
00:27:39.340oh yeah yeah um oh and then yeah and there is um just real quick uh the supreme court came out um
00:27:48.900indicating that their border agents can deny green card holders green card holders meaning
00:27:54.900that they are legal immigrants re-entering into the united states if they were charged with a crime
00:27:59.900so and that's the supreme court six to three decision final decision no way to appeal it
00:28:08.000um a lawful permanent resident seeking admission again to the united states when they return
00:28:13.360from abroad if they have certain crimes so between the law it has to be a crime of moral
00:28:20.460torpitude usually but it doesn't indicate there what i would have to look further into it this
00:28:26.520allows officers potentially to deny re-entry and subject them to stricter inadmissibility
00:28:31.720so they'll have to wait at that country in order to do their case from there so that's that's a
00:28:38.720big win for do we do remain in mexico again not to put anyone on the spot but remember trump did
00:28:46.480remain in mexico then biden undid it trump reinstated that right so i feel like i feel
00:28:53.980like there was a stay on that when he was trying to reinstate it but i would have to look into it
00:28:59.020give me one you can owen you can go ahead while i research that
00:29:03.200well i was looking at one of the other rulings that came out it was mullen versus doe apparently
00:29:09.760there were two mullen cases and um this one is having to do with the tps statute and it looks
00:29:15.940like they're saying that the tps statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims
00:29:21.920um and uh so it looks like they're overturning this case they say reversed and remanded back
00:29:31.540to court so um looks like they're i'm not really sure again i'm not really sure what that means
00:29:38.620because i don't know all the details of this it had to do with a haiti tps thing where um
00:29:44.880they were talking about whether or not it violated someone's constitutional rights
00:29:49.420um okay so you guys sorry we're a little unorganized but the other thing that i was
00:29:56.100just looking at that i wanted to talk about tomorrow but because brandon's going to be
00:29:59.840on tomorrow and i'm sorry i don't have clips but you guys can imagine is the earthquake in
00:30:05.600venezuela i don't know if everyone knows this but there was a vicious earthquake in venezuela
00:30:10.440yesterday i think there was like two of them and they were like a 7.4 magnitude but oh my god it
00:30:18.160was um near caracas and the damage i don't know what the death toll is but i don't know if either
00:30:26.440one of you pulled that story yes dr von hardy stella was acting up she couldn't get out of the
00:30:30.900room but she made her way out um in japan too there was one oh my gosh the one in japan is not
00:30:37.860as serious it was a big one it was like 6.9 but you have to understand that's like every number
00:30:44.780on that richter scale is is an order of magnitude so like 7.4 is a lot bigger than 6.9 and um
00:30:52.680the i think the one in japan was offshore so as far as i know there's no deaths or there's no
00:30:59.040like major stuff there's no tsunami warning or anything that i that i saw there but so it was
00:31:05.300yeah really really bad i mean like the buildings are leaning in i don't know if there's you know
00:31:12.160if they have an idea of how many people died. Um, but it, it was, the videos were so scary,
00:31:19.060just one after the other. And you're just so vulnerable. There's nothing you can do. And just
00:31:23.320chunks of buildings falling and like hitting people and aye, aye, aye. So, I mean, however
00:31:29.660you pray or send good thoughts, please. Um, it's so scary what's going on. And then someone said
00:31:35.560there was one in California. So now I'm just going through news stories that I wanted to talk about.
00:31:41.160um and also i don't have like the details of this either but also very important is mike lindell
00:31:47.560so mike lindell who we love his news channel he's got the the badass uh news chicks over there um
00:31:55.100dominion dropped their case against him which i want to dig into today like why did they drop it
00:32:02.500seems interesting to me um but he has committed to like he's like they may have dropped it but i'm
00:32:09.320not stopping what I'm doing. Like I'm going to keep digging in and, you know, proving the fraud.
00:32:15.940And I am curious, I haven't heard President Trump mention his name or, you know, see him.
00:32:23.220Has anyone else? I like they used to pal around pretty good. Mike Lindell is the MyPillow guy.
00:32:29.280And he's probably one of the biggest patriots out there. And I believe he's running for governor
00:32:34.980of minnesota um that's where he's based and minnesota's got all those somalia problems but
00:32:41.320uh today i promise i'm going to dig into what's going on with mike lindell um because i just feel
00:32:49.580like he has put so much of his own money into fighting the good fight for all of us and i don't
00:32:57.440feel like he's been getting support lately or like notoriety or attention and we need to we need to
00:33:04.140bring him back to the forefront. He's a great guy. Yeah, Dominion, I don't think-
00:33:10.180In regards to the lawsuit, there was a settlement between both parties. And the main reason for the
00:33:16.540drop is because Dominion changed ownership into a previous Republican. Back in 2025, October 2025,
00:33:27.520Dominion was acquired by LibertyVote, who was founded by Scott Leyendecker, who was a former
00:33:33.600republican election director from san luis so the main thing the main idea is that that that's one
00:33:39.960of the reasons why there was all these losses probably will be dropped against mike glendale
00:33:46.200and all the other yeah um yeah you guys get your pillows from him and his sheets from giza not gaza
00:33:53.420like i said that one day i was like wait are his sheets from gaza that doesn't make sense
00:33:58.080no Giza um on the earthquake I'm looking at the stories I have I don't think they really have a
00:34:04.700death count at this point there 164 was the last death count and 40,000 people missing yeah
00:34:11.160yeah I mean the estimates I saw said it could be 10,000 or even up to 100,000 people that
00:34:16.640die from this but that's like based on the size of the quake and what that could mean
00:34:21.560you know so they're kind of just speculating so we don't know but it looks like they may need
00:34:26.540international assistance i think trump is already coming out saying they're going to offer assistance
00:34:30.880um china is also jumping in saying they're ready to help and uh so and i see another estimate saying
00:34:38.800again like just based on past history this could be an economic loss of two to twenty percent of
00:34:46.360their gdp i mean this this country has been through so much for so long and you know i just
00:34:53.500like my heart just really sang for them yesterday. I'm like, God, how much can these people go
00:34:57.580through? It's terrible. Uh, you know, lots of countries are going through stuff, but I was
00:35:01.340just thinking, you know, it's just been hell. It's just been hell. Um, let me see. And what
00:35:07.100else did I want to tell you guys about? I wish I had pulled clips and I will always be prepared
00:35:12.840moving forward. Cause you never know. I promise. Um, yeah. In regards to the case that, that Owen
00:35:20.040was talking about, Moulin B. Doe, it's a great win for the Trump administration because what that0.97
00:35:25.840stands for is under TPS, that's temporary status for Haitians and Syrians, or in that case it was
00:35:34.380Haitian. I believe the Syrians also got that. It basically says that the courts can't really
00:35:42.580review these things um as much so basically the ruling allows dhs and trump to continue and the
00:35:52.300stay is over they're able to move forward with removing and uh pushing um terminating the tps
00:36:02.440so tps is usually done by um by the federal government to for countries like venezuela or
00:36:10.640anything anybody like in haiti i believe it was done because of the earthquake there
00:36:14.740and it allows people from there to come here on a temporary basis and basically this says
00:36:21.660you guys get to control that if you want to undo your tps and you want to terminate it
00:36:28.040you can do that as an executive order okay i i think trump is getting some wins which is good
00:36:38.880And I especially love the one that we attempted to discuss yesterday about, you know, being able to deport easier, faster, all that good stuff.
00:36:51.640I'm just pulling up a clip from Venezuela right now so I can show you guys.
00:50:50.740Otherwise, they're going to be in big trouble.
00:50:52.140They're going to be in big trouble. We're not going to play games.
00:50:55.960They're going to be in a really big trouble.
00:51:00.280So, Kimberly, I saw your question and I wanted to give you some details, but about, you know,
00:51:07.020I said that the administrators are and some other people and the universities are getting insane salaries.
00:51:14.120So a university president, president of like a major state university, 700,000 to two million dollars.
00:51:22.140Chancellor of a large university system, $500,000 to $1.5 million.
00:51:29.000A dean, like in law, business, or medicine, makes $300,000 to $900,000 plus.
00:51:35.400A dean for the arts, the arts is always a little lower, like maybe $450,000.
00:51:41.540Athletic directors, $500,000 to $2 million.
00:51:44.920Football coach for the major programs, $3 million to $13 million plus.
00:51:49.120million. Basketball, two to 10 plus million. And then professors, there's like distinguished
00:51:57.100professors make up to 700,000 plus. Medical school professors, 500,000 to a million.
00:52:07.840You know, so that's just some examples. So I don't know if that seems like insane to you for
00:52:14.660a teacher's salary. I think it is. I mean, you know, when you look at the expenses of everything
00:52:21.540that goes into a school, I mean, those, those salaries are pretty fricking high considering
00:52:26.480that they are always, you know, trying to get grant money from people and endowments and this
00:52:32.400and that. And it's just like, why don't we just regroup? Like, let's get some realistic salaries.
00:52:38.900You're not pumping out the best. Let's just tell you, there's a lot of indoctrinating going on at
00:52:43.800these very well-paid institutions. And this is just my opinion, but I think everything's gotten
00:52:49.720so inflated and over the top that it's just going to keep going. At some point, you've got to reset
00:52:56.800and regroup and be like, what are we freaking doing here? And I'll tell you what, I'm sure
00:53:00.740there's a lot of amazing teachers that would do it for less if these people's ego can't get out
00:53:07.320of their way. And they're like, no, I want the $13 million. I mean, you're a freaking teacher
00:53:13.300or an administrator or whatever, like calm down. So that's, that's my take on it. And then you look0.99
00:53:20.060at the student debt, which again, I don't feel sorry for these students because they're signing
00:53:25.460up for it. Like you're signing up for it. You have to pay it back. I had to pay my stuff back.
00:53:29.340You have to pay your stuff back. But if everything just kind of reset, I think it would benefit
00:53:35.540everybody across the board instead of paying these stupid salaries that sorry, teachers. Sorry. I'm0.99
00:53:41.800not saying all of you i'm talking about the extreme high end um so and then all right so owen
00:53:48.200quickly what do you think about what trump's saying about the oil companies that it's not
00:53:52.580you know it's not matching you know the numbers aren't coming down at the pump
00:53:56.360well i mean i think i i don't know how true that is i know there's been a lot of talk about that
00:54:02.760for a long time where as soon as oil prices go up the gas prices immediately spike and then it
00:54:07.340takes a while for them to come down so i i certainly think there's room for what he's saying
00:54:12.360to say hey wait a second are you not adjusting um you know i i it if anything i think it might be
00:54:19.620that maybe that front end is the problem because i would imagine that you know there's a supply
00:54:24.920chain right like it takes a while before you get a barrel of oil through the refinery to the gas
00:54:29.800station and into the pump like i would expect there to be some lag time but i would expect it
00:54:34.820be on both sides like if you if your last shipment was cheaper then you should keep the gas cheaper
00:54:43.620and if you know if it takes a while for it to come down i could understand but i would think that
00:54:48.820you know it seems to me like that that's where they might be taking advantage of the process
00:54:53.060is to say oh look oil prices spiked let's just up the gas prices tomorrow and i do think it
00:55:00.180makes sense to say if you're going to do that on the front end you should also do that on the back
00:55:04.420Like, you shouldn't take advantage of the process and say, well, we have to take a month before we reduce prices if, on the other side, you're jacking up the price right away.
00:55:17.660I'm glad he's doing it after it, and I think he's doing the right thing for the economy to say he wants to basically cheerlead prices down at the gas pump because that helps everybody.
00:55:25.960Yeah, for sure, and midterms. Marcella, your thoughts on that?
00:55:29.600Well, I get a sense, and I would be mind reading him, I get a sense that he thinks that the gas companies, the oil companies are kind of doing it on purpose to affect his midterms, the midterms for the Republicans.
00:55:44.480I don't know, because we don't know what he knows, what President Trump knows beyond, you know, because some of them, he might have further information than we do.
00:55:55.120but again i agree with owen it takes time also to change the prices and again we have to agree with
00:56:03.000um erica and owen we're talking about how iran and the war like it's it's a short against war
00:56:11.220we don't know what's happening is it have is it going forward are we in peace blah blah blah
00:56:16.260so that affects the economy anyways so imagine if you're an owner of uh i want to imagine that
00:56:24.460of an oil company then you know you're gonna lower your prices but what if you have to
00:56:30.320up them again because next week they're in war again right you know so it's kind of like
00:56:36.240it's not the market life's consistency and no big changes and no surprises so i think that's
00:56:46.000one of the reasons that it has taken time for it to lower the prices that the pump and it also
00:56:53.760takes time, you know, just like go and explain. So we'll see. All right. So you guys, thank you
00:57:02.120for bearing with us today because, you know, things change and now we know. But Brandon Darby
00:57:09.860will be here tomorrow with us at the start of the show. There's something about the guests coming in

00:58:16.240let's do we all have problems okay i need that again today and go all right here's one that's
00:58:24.280more about uh just not this one's very relevant to me
00:58:27.880the usual old frame is that if you're having some bad luck you think that you're unusually
00:58:39.800unlucky because it happened to you you think of all the things that could happen to anybody
00:58:45.780And then you think, oh man, why are all these things happening to me?
