00:02:56.280
to put on that but first the simultaneous sip what do you need you need a cup or mug or a glass

Yeah. Yeah, that's working. I can feel the improvement coming.
00:03:35.540

00:03:48.480
you. Oh, and we have news. Yes, we do. So we're going to cover it all. Who says we need Owen?
00:03:54.860
We're good. So Marcella, I love thrifting, you know, like going to like, let's say the like
00:04:03.980
Goodwill or thrift stores or whatever and looking for hidden treasure or going to like a garage sale
00:04:10.000
and you're like, ooh, look at this treasure, but I found a good one.
00:04:15.160
Look at what this cat found. Let's check it out.
00:04:17.820
Maybe the greatest thrift store find of all time.
00:04:20.680
Quinn Brown, 19 years old, has resold thousands of items online over the years,
00:04:26.780
But earlier this year, going through the bins at a Goodwill near Portland, Oregon,
00:04:32.500
Somehow or another, NBA great Wilt Chamberlain's Lakers warm-up jacket
00:04:36.640
from the 72 NBA Finals had ended up for sale in Oregon for $3.07. Here's Brown.
00:04:45.540
The really key moment for me was I was in my room and I looked at the measurements of the jacket.
00:04:51.740
Wilt Chamberlain being 7'1", the jacket measured 33 inches long, so it would have gone down almost
00:04:57.240
to my knees. I looked at it and it matched up. Smart kid. When Brown posted his discovery online,
00:05:02.920
Sotheby's reached out, helped with the forensic investigation matching the stitches on the jacket
00:05:08.540
to old pictures of it, and then put it up for auction. And that $3 thrift store fine just sold
00:05:15.340
for nearly $90,000, putting the jacket into the pantheon of bargain fines, including
00:05:21.600
a declaration of independence, copy found at a flea market, and this thousand-year-old Chinese
00:05:27.240
bull sold at a garage sale, both worth millions, by the way. As for Brown, he says he plans
00:05:32.860
to put most of his windfall into savings, but also celebrate by taking what he calls a cheap
00:05:37.720
vacation to Vietnam. Let us know how the thrift stores are. A cheap vacation to Vietnam. I love
00:05:46.080
it. So Mindy, my friend Mindy is in the chat, and we're discussing a vacation to Vietnam
00:05:52.200
coincidentally. So we'll see. We'll let you know if there's any thrifting happening there.
00:05:56.320
But isn't that amazing? I know. Good for him. He's like, all right. He didn't even know who
00:06:01.820
chamberlain was but he had a feeling marcella did you ever find anything exciting you know i'm not
00:06:09.260
into thrifting so i guess you know i maybe now i'll start you know looking around hollywood might
00:06:16.620
have their own i may find really good stuff yeah like memorabilia oh yeah that would be amazing
00:06:23.780
So the story is my brother has a great friend who owned like a, I'm going to mess this all
00:06:33.240
up, but you know, like Tops Trading Cards, you know, like those kinds of companies that
00:06:38.560
So anyway, he invited my brother to go to the Super Bowl in Jacksonville when it was
00:06:45.360
It was Tom Brady's rookie year as quarterback in the Super Bowl.
00:06:49.640
Can you imagine you're a rookie and you're in the Super Bowl?
00:06:52.440
so after the game he said hey send me your tickets and we'll make something nice for you
00:06:57.060
as a memento so they put his tickets in a nice frame and they also put the quarterbacks uh card
00:07:05.260
in the frame i think signed by both the quarterbacks and just a couple of years ago or it
00:07:10.640
was during the pandemic uh someone mentioned to him you know people are selling their art and
00:07:15.880
their sports memorabilia or buying it because you know they couldn't work and they wanted to trade
00:07:21.600
and do things so he's like oh you know i wonder what this thing is worth and he had it like on
00:07:25.760
the floor in a closet and he long story short he sent it to a sports memorabilia auctioning company
00:07:34.000
actually near me in new jersey and they put that card it was like the second one listed so they
00:07:40.560
get listed from like high to low it went on um auction i think for 14 days and at the end that
00:07:49.440
card fetched my brother two hundred thousand dollars that was just sitting on his closet floor
00:07:56.320
so you never know what you have you guys go through those crates i just don't have the patience
00:08:02.720
i hate shopping i just go in and and buy so the internet has made it easier because you just
00:08:10.000
click and you find the thing that you want and maybe you return it but it's like i don't have
00:08:15.920
the patience like like i see people going through ross or going through these giant stores and i'm
00:08:22.160
like how do they do it like you must have patience because i'm like ah i get out you have to go in
00:08:28.080
and get out yeah you have to like the thrill of the hunt so sometimes i'm in the mood sometimes
00:08:33.200
i'm not but i erica i like the thrill of the hunt but some other type of hunt
00:08:38.480
Oh, Sean, Sean, I know we're getting to that right now. He just is congratulating New Jersey
00:08:46.980
on their amazing winning streak of being the biggest losers. So you guys, did you hear the
00:08:55.280
news about New Jersey? Well, let's just say we have busted it wide open that of course there's
00:09:04.720
voter registration fraud, election fraud, voting fraud, and why not start with New Jersey? So
00:09:11.340
let's listen to what our governor is talking about, Mikey Sherrill. And by the way, I will
00:09:19.540
note that, yes, this happened during Governor Phil Murphy's reign of terror on our state.
0.99
00:09:26.500
he is the biggest most woke jerk he pandered to people like Bruce Springsteen and John Bon Jovi
0.97
00:09:35.580
did not care about anything else going on so here's here's the latest and greatest
0.98
00:09:40.940
in June of 2023 nearly three years before I became governor a serious software error in New Jersey's
00:09:50.820
motor vehicle system led to the improper voter registration of what we believe to be roughly
00:09:57.700
6,600 people in our state. When New Jerseyans applied for a driver's license or identification
00:10:05.620
at the MVC, they were asked if they wanted to register to vote. In the case of this error,
00:10:13.220
some individuals indicated that they weren't citizens and weren't eligible to vote,
00:10:36.220
But so, you know, nobody believes this was like an error that nobody knew that this was a glitch.
00:10:48.800
because President Trump asked for all the states
00:11:17.700
uh because california whenever you do the dmb online it does ask you to register to vote it
00:11:26.660
takes you to a different area like to a different agency but it's still like they just take and i
00:11:34.620
think um nick shirley did this in california they take your word for it that you're a citizen
00:11:40.120
and your signature under penalty of perjury and nobody ever gets charged for lying because when
00:11:47.380
you are doing that you are actually under penalty of perjury to so they could be prosecuted because
00:11:54.260
the people themselves that agreed um they're gonna say confusion but ignorance is not a defense and
00:12:02.420
you know so i don't know if the the laws aren't just the laws aren't being enforced because
00:12:08.900
there's laws in the books that can lead to um people being punished for doing that well so
00:12:16.900
Can you hear me OK right now? Yeah. So, you know, she said 6600. But wait, there's more.
00:12:25.340
Of course, there's always more. According to the DHS review, state voter rolls and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections.
00:12:43.940
Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files,
00:12:48.380
the real number is actually much higher than that.
00:12:51.480
Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners
00:13:00.760
Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable
00:13:11.940
Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments.
00:13:17.800
Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking and manipulation and corruption.
00:13:24.820
China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections.
00:13:30.860
Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls.
00:13:38.240
And yet we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions
00:13:46.060
of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.
00:13:51.100
So that was his speech last week, but here you see 35,152 is the new number just released
00:14:00.000
by Homeland Security of non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey.
00:14:06.280
the real numbers will prove to be many times this amount. They are all Democrat Republicans.
00:14:11.660
They are all Democrats. Republicans get smart and straighten out our crooked election
0.83
00:14:15.600
past the Save America Act. So, you know, interesting. It went from her 6,600 to 35,152.
00:14:26.080
I mean, I hate to say it, but even if you weren't to pass the Save America Act,
00:14:31.160
people could still you know get ids identification where you show your identification and then you can
00:14:38.680
be able to vote there there's definitely issues with the system like even if you were to have
00:14:44.800
that in place which we don't which we need I do agree with that we do need it but it it's something
00:14:51.180
that Scott always said it's this the system it's purpose they have it the the they have it on
00:15:00.340
purpose the way that it is the chaotic the chaos is in order to oh look over there you know oh we
00:15:07.700
just don't know software we're like oh you know no it's intentional it's always by design it's by
00:15:15.460
design the sign is destiny as you would say right that's right so i do want to give this was i'm
00:15:21.300
just looking at a different screen right now but you guys so there's jamel holly he's a new jersey
00:15:28.100
Assemblyman. And I was happy to see this. He responded to Mikey Sherrill's announcement of
00:15:34.940
a DMV software error. He said, as an original co-sponsor of DMV voter registration, Holly
00:15:42.360
cites broken assurances that undocumented immigrants receiving driver's licenses would
00:15:47.860
not be offered voter registration, labeling the situation a cover-up and calling for an immediate
00:15:53.020
pause on new DMV registrations until safeguards improve. And he also urges the passage of the
00:15:59.900
SAVE Act, handover of voter rolls to DHS for independent review, DOJ monitors and termination
00:16:07.640
of the current DMV vendors contract to strengthen election integrity. So I was really glad to see
00:16:13.300
a Democrat from New Jersey respond that way. Yeah, good for him. And this is our country.
00:16:19.820
this is everybody's country so i'm hoping that people are seeing um you know what's happening
00:16:27.340
that we we have no safeguards like scott always said it is like he like you said marcella they're
00:16:32.620
designed to be unable to be audited um yeah so yeah we got to get rid of these machines we got
00:16:40.300
to go to paper i think it's a good idea and maybe maybe scott would disagree maybe what do you guys
00:16:46.620
think a voting or election czar that would work with the doj to prosecute people the vote that
00:16:55.020
know that they're voting and they're illegally here uh to prosecute them for that to also prosecute
00:17:01.660
any um any uh government anything like any state you know even if it's civil sanctions but to
00:17:11.340
actually go after people it's the enforcement that is missing too because you can have a great
00:17:17.680
system on paper but in reality if nobody is being punished for what they're doing wrong
00:17:24.160
then they're gonna keep doing it so there needs to be an enforcement czar for elections
00:17:30.300
i like that and we should be one day in person except for like you know obviously if you're in
00:17:39.280
the military or you know you're out of the country we get it but it one day in person because we saw
00:17:44.980
even with the the paper ballots in california they were giving these drug addled people a dollar
00:17:50.960
to fill out you know forms they're like okay so that's a problem there there's also dead people
00:17:58.180
that are on the rolls there's also people that um are not do not have capacity that i i do
00:18:04.960
conservatorships as an attorney and under a conservatorship, the person that's being
00:18:11.980
And that's in the court order that it indicates that, but I don't know if they go to a convalescent
00:18:19.000
home, somebody can register them to vote their citizens.
00:18:22.460
They don't know their name or they don't know their children's names or who they are, but
00:18:29.680
So that's also something that, um, that's why there needs to be an enforcer.
00:18:47.140
I remember the hanging chads and dimples and all that.
00:18:51.840
Um, so the other thing too, is on, I think I know of the situation personally where maybe
00:18:58.920
a husband is married to like an actual Karen and he wants to vote Republican, but Karen gets the
00:19:05.300
mail and she just fills out the ballot and off it goes. And that's, that's not right either. You
00:19:10.420
know, we're, we're in, you know, we're entitled to our vote. So let's see. And I don't know about
00:19:16.880
going state by state. Like this state can do this. This state can do that. I think it should be one
00:19:21.620
law because there are some very cheaty states imo but we'll keep on we'll keep on top of this
00:19:30.120
you guys and we live in them yes and and owen too like we're all we're doing great oh all right so
00:19:37.880
here's a little side note you guys so a lot of you i saw talking about this fire in california
00:19:43.600
yesterday very interesting oh by the way jeff callahan is going to be on with us tomorrow um
00:19:49.120
we're going to talk about things with spencer pratt with california marco rubio cuba we have
00:19:56.040
like a whole agenda going for him um i know beverly sorry okay so but anyway so there it was it was
00:20:03.540
amazing because gavin newsom was out there i didn't pull the clip i wanted to spare us all a
00:20:07.860
gavin newsom clip today but you know he's talking about how they're so great with fires i'm like
00:20:13.400
what are you talking about? You're so nutty. Great at burning down houses. That's what we're
0.98
00:20:19.400
good at. Yeah. You're great with fires. All right. He's talking about that while at the exact same
00:20:26.460
time, people are being evacuated out of the area where Scott has his house and his family lives
00:20:33.420
simultaneously. I'm just like, oh my God, what is happening? I do want you to know that
00:20:39.120
I got in touch with everybody in the Pleasanton area last night. They were at Scott's house. They
00:20:46.120
were told to evacuate. They didn't want to. They did. This was the picture just before they were
00:20:54.880
leaving. You can see the smoke in front of Scott's house. That was probably about three miles away
00:21:01.800
at that point. Um, so everyone got out safe. The house is perfect. Nothing happened. They,
00:21:09.580
they lifted the restriction at about 1130 California time last night. Um, and also just
00:21:16.320
so you know, Scott's memorabilia, everything has already been removed from the house. So
00:21:21.400
don't worry about that. But you know, like Gavin Newsom just has a lot of fricking nerve. Um,
00:21:28.040
just to say you know what every politician in california should just sit this one out just
00:21:34.460
sit it out don't run for president don't rerun basura and ramen noodle like you guys are a mess
00:21:42.300
marcella actually give us an update on la because there's um water pipes bursting everywhere what's
00:21:49.160
happening so there's you know the the issue of always that the none of the infrastructure has
00:21:56.720
ever been revamped or changed or reformed or anything like that. So these pipes, great work
00:22:04.680
for the tradesmen in the 1930s or 40s, because now they're bursting everywhere in West Hollywood
00:22:13.400
and in the west side of LA on Sunset, I believe, and Hollywood Boulevard. I'm not sure which one
00:22:20.200
the main thoroughfares but it's caused major issues major flooding but that's just the beginning
00:22:28.280
because none of these none of this work has been done for years and years and years so a lot of
00:22:35.560
them are you know causing issues um and there needs to be a whole infrastructure it's not and
00:22:45.240
And the worst part is, it's not like we don't pay enough taxes.
00:22:56.940
There's billions of dollars being paid into figuring out the homeless issue.
00:23:14.660
we don't have enough water we don't have this we don't have that but it would be okay if you
00:23:20.120
didn't pay any taxes but you're paying lots of taxes and you're not seeing any of it uh yeah
00:23:26.720
you're in their pocket yeah putting it in their pocket so it's like the same thing uh when you're
00:23:32.820
in new york city i mean the last many times that that it oh by the way let me just i just got
00:23:39.240
interrupted by a picture from the beloveds of the house. So let me put this back up.
00:23:45.040
Scott built and designed this house. And yes, that is Dilbert's head. And those are his eyes.
00:23:51.720
That was, as Scott would say, by design. So yes, that is a Dilbert feature of the house.
00:23:58.780
You are right. Okay. So I saw that. I was like, oh, let me let them know. So whenever I would go
00:24:05.740
on the subway in the city, I'm always like, oh my God, this thing was built in the 50s,
00:24:10.480
in like the 1950s. And you think about all that like vibrating and the pipes and the heat and the
00:24:17.140
weather and the whatever. And you're like, oh my God. And by the way, I mean, I don't know how it
00:24:23.160
is now, but when you would be on the subway, have you ever seen that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's
00:24:27.960
on the subway and she's going to like her friend's lesbian wedding and like it would go like two feet
00:24:33.340
and then it would stop and it would get dark and you'd be sitting there that was like that's
00:24:37.220
literally the subway like you'd be like come on like it would always stop and break down you'd
00:24:41.840
wait 10 minutes it would go like 20 more feet and it would and you're like it's never been
00:24:46.360
upgraded since then so that is literally yeah it's scary so it's like they built everything
00:24:52.600
once way back in the day and then it's never been fixed since or or updated or anything so
00:24:58.640
good luck, everybody. All right. So let's keep it moving. I wanted to- Any positive news today?
00:25:08.380
Well, not yet, Marcella. Not yet. I'm saving that for the Scott moment. For the later.
00:25:13.520
Yeah. So Marcella, I wanted to pivot to Iran and what's going on there. So we also want to mention
00:25:23.500
the soldiers who have fallen. I wanted to do that the other day. I'm sorry that
00:25:28.760
it didn't, whatever, I missed it. But Marcella, yeah, you have the names of the people we want
00:25:35.300
to recognize. So there's been four deaths in Iran. Three of them happened together in an air base
00:25:44.140
in jordan called mawafuk salty air base and they died by an iranian attack on july 17th through 18
00:25:55.100
um sergeant angel s rampersad 28 from ozen park ozen park new york um he was believed to die in
00:26:05.660
in the action, um, and his remains were identified later and private first
00:26:12.900
class, Isabella Gonzalez, only 19 Carrollton, Texas killed in action.
00:26:18.800
And first Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan, 25 Iwa beach, Hawaii killed in action,
00:26:25.520
um, died from wounds, um, and other recent deaths, uh, they died together,
00:26:32.660
This was unfortunate. A Sergeant Michael Emanuel Swinton, 30 Fayetteville, North Carolina, killed on July 19 during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone in northern Iraq.
00:26:47.120
So that was really unfortunate because it wasn't, you know, it wasn't expected.
00:26:53.580
yeah i'm with you montreal galaxy this is not okay and you guys however you pray or think about
00:27:01.660
someone or send positive energy or vibes please please keep these families in your thoughts in
00:27:08.220
your prayers and you know send them send them healing energy any way you can because like who
00:27:14.460
just said this um andy said tragic you know two weren't even alive during 9 11 and two were too
00:27:22.700
young to remember 9-11. And here they are fighting, dying so young, like babies. So
00:27:30.320
we take it for granted. We're here talking right now. And yes, and we should be laughing and having
00:27:37.520
fun and having a life, but we should always pause to remember what's happening there.
00:27:43.040
And ironically, or not ironically, that the base in Jordan that you mentioned, Marcella,
00:27:50.140
I pulled a clip from there today. So this is what this is like, like, I'm not going to talk
00:27:56.160
during this. I just want you guys to like kind of hear and see what's happening. So these are
00:28:02.000
our US military in Jordan, as bombs are going to be coming in from Iran. And this is what
00:30:47.780
I just wanted to play that whole thing. That's like just a moment in time and they could be in
00:31:06.140
there for hours and they're just in silence. It looks like they got out of bed, like they were
00:31:12.100
asleep and just quietly walking into the bunker. They have their guns with them and they could be
00:31:19.000
there for hours, you know, while bombs are being lobbed. And I just really wanted to drive that
00:31:24.560
home. Those are also our contractors that are over there working, you know, not just military,
00:31:30.720
but we have private contractors working mothers, fathers, daughters, sons. So, you know, I just,
00:31:37.160
I hope that was okay with you guys, but I just wanted to like say, please, you know,
00:31:42.680
rest in peace to anyone who gave the ultimate sacrifice, um, and to their families. I just
00:31:49.600
can't even imagine. And, uh, you know, like, God forbid, like any day they could get that phone
00:31:55.420
call. I really, really want this to end, um, in the, in the time that we're in now with drones,
00:32:02.640
can we please like bring people home and just stop this craziness um marcella is that like just eerie
00:32:11.360
and just crazy yeah i mean i live through war so that's pretty much how it is but um i i don't
00:32:21.220
you know when when someone in the chat i'm so sorry i forgot who said it but they said imagine
00:32:27.060
if Iran had nuclear weapons, which is the reason why we're doing this. So they're doing this with
0.79
00:32:33.780
just drones. I can only imagine if they had a high, like a big dirty bomb, they would drop it
00:32:42.940
on anyone. It's unfortunate that anyone dies in war, but I'm very proud of the soldiers of our
00:32:54.120
country for fighting for, for our future. Because if, if in fact, that the intelligence was that
00:33:04.780
they were still trying to enrich uranium and try to get a nuclear weapon in the hands of these
00:33:13.000
people, it would destroy the world. So, you know, that's, yeah. Yeah. Um, so that is that. Um,
00:33:23.820
I also wanted to give you the update from Trey Yankst on Fox.
00:33:31.500
So let's take a listen to Trey and we'll see what's happening.
00:33:34.440
Another night of U.S. strikes hammered Iran, this time the target list expanding.
00:33:39.160
Reports do indicate deeper strikes inside of Iranian territory,
00:33:43.880
along with a variety of positions near to the Strait of Hormuz.
00:33:47.760
Now, CENTCOM released a statement saying over the past three months,
00:33:50.780
Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway,
00:33:57.560
The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation.
00:34:03.060
The strait remains largely at a standstill with just three commercial vessels passing through on Tuesday,
00:34:10.120
The other area of focus remains on Iran's nuclear program that President Trump says will be targeted in the days ahead.
00:34:17.380
We follow the material. That's where the action is.
00:34:19.480
and we'll be hitting that area very probably pretty soon and there's not not a thing they can do
00:34:26.480
about it normally I wouldn't say that if I thought they could do something about it I would never say
00:34:31.580
that but we'll be hitting that area pretty soon and and very heavily. While both the United States
00:34:39.780
and Iran have left open the door for a diplomatic solution no breakthrough has been reached yet
00:34:47.080
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier today
00:34:49.480
that Iran is not serious about talks right now.
00:34:55.080
We remain open to working it out in a negotiated way,
00:34:57.740
but right now they don't seem to be serious about that,
00:34:59.900
and so we're going to continue to protect shipping.
00:35:01.940
We think other countries should join us in that endeavor.
00:35:05.440
because they're more impacted by it than we are,
00:35:11.860
degrade their ability to target global shipping.
0.52
00:35:41.420
four service members killed at dover air base later this morning she was the one killed at
00:35:49.460
the where the clip was that i just showed you uh rest in peace so i mean again like if owen was
00:35:57.700
here i could speak for him on this like you know i know he always says i'm just tired of it i want
00:36:02.000
to bring our troops home i do too and it's like so it's impossible to stay ahead on this story
00:36:09.520
because yeah it's a mess it's a mess and the news changes every day obviously so um i don't know
00:36:17.060
marcella any any closing thoughts on iran i think either either the u.s fights a war
00:36:24.320
or they get out this middle ground that what we're doing is doing night raids to iran for 11
00:36:33.380
nights that's not going to cut it either you go full on and make a commitment to it or you leave
00:36:42.740
because they're not taking you the iran is not taking this seriously because it's just oh night
00:36:50.000
raids that's it we we can do it we've we've done it before we can avoid this and they they will
00:36:58.000
never um agree to anything that uh has their control you cannot negotiate with you know people
00:37:07.760
that want to die uh and be terrorists and um unfortunately i think um you know trump has uh is
00:37:18.720
the persuasion uh negotiator the best negotiator ever in this world but i think it's hard to
00:37:26.960
negotiate with people that rather uh be dead uh than negotiate with you so he has it doesn't mean
00:37:35.360
that he's not doing a good job it's just that it's impossible job to do it's a it's a great point i
00:37:42.560
mean they don't like death is fine for them like they don't look at it the way we do so it's it
00:37:48.400
that's a very good point marcella so we are just dealing with a whole other kind of animal in these
00:37:54.320
people. So, you know, it's just like they don't have any regard for life. You're dealing with
00:38:00.560
animals. That's exactly right. They don't have any regard for human life. So it's tough. It's
00:38:07.460
tough. So, all right. Well, it's going to be different tomorrow and, you know, maybe we'll
00:38:11.600
give you a little Iran update. Maybe we'll skip tomorrow on Iran and we'll update you on Friday
00:38:15.860
because God only knows. All right. So I want to get to Scott most importantly. So you guys,
00:38:22.320
we're going to kick back, grab your coffee, give a good little stretch, and we're going to do a
00:38:27.760
double whiteboard. And we'll have just a few minutes to talk about it after. This is about
00:38:33.400
13 minutes. So buckle up, buttercup. Here we go. So I'd like to explain to you why science is broken
1.00
00:38:41.820
and why everything else is broken too. You ready? It's a two-parter.
00:39:12.380
So money involved in the topic, that's on the left,
00:39:54.820
Because criminals will always try to game every system.
00:40:04.140
So it's not going to pay to do things that are just true
00:40:12.700
if there's a lot of money involved in the topic,
00:40:19.400
By the design of the system, not by accident, by the design of the system, you guarantee that your most important questions are all fraudulent.
00:40:39.540
It's not like, oh, maybe this could lead to something bad.
00:40:48.320
It will always, always, always trend toward fraud.
00:40:59.480
there are some criminals, but mostly there's honest people.
00:41:04.060
So wouldn't the honest people sort of crowd out the criminals?
00:41:08.460
Wouldn't the criminal part always be smallish, necessarily?
00:41:14.000
The criminal part is guaranteed to be the controlling part.
00:41:37.160
Let's say you started with some kind of a system
00:41:39.660
that was completely legitimate when you started.
00:41:44.000
It could be anything. It could be the system of science,
00:41:47.620
you know, the whole scientific community, everything.
00:41:55.560
so it could be systems within the larger systems.
00:41:58.620
If you started with these all being completely legit on day one,
00:42:06.960
Because all of these things have a lot of money involved,
00:42:09.360
really big stakes, like the biggest money of all,
00:42:11.680
billions and billions of dollars, you know, big money.
00:42:16.620
You can assume there will be infinite criminal attempts
00:42:19.600
to get some of that money and subvert your intentions.
00:42:39.820
Tomorrow comes, somebody else tries, 95% chance they fail.
00:43:07.080
There is no way you can avoid all of our systems being corrupt eventually.
00:43:16.020
Because they can be corrupted, it's just unlikely.
00:43:21.880
But only a few people have to get through the system and succeed.
00:43:28.760
To guarantee, guarantee that eventually all of these systems are corrupt.
00:43:42.340
Do you know what would be something that worked against corruption?
00:43:50.180
Just about the only thing you can do to make people not steal from you
00:44:01.820
If you believe the election system is not fair,
00:44:10.820
Fire 100% of the people who work on it every year.
00:44:14.340
And then next year, a whole other group of people.
00:44:17.800
Then maybe you could find out if somebody was doing something.
00:44:25.640
might be replaced by somebody who's not as good at it,
00:44:36.580
is you've got to eliminate all the people now and then.
00:44:41.780
Do you know why we don't have term limits in Congress?
00:44:51.940
you could not stay in Congress long enough to be Bob Menendez.
00:44:57.680
Bob Menendez, the guy who's accused of taking bribes
00:45:08.060
the reason that he was in a position to take bribes
00:45:13.700
and he eventually got to the place where he could get away with shit,
1.00
00:45:20.640
If you've got somebody who's been in Congress for a long time,
00:45:23.580
and then you put them in the job that is the most easy to get bribes,
00:45:33.540
When Biden was there, it looks like it was about the same.
00:45:39.340
is that you're going to keep the same people in place for a long time,
00:45:45.240
until they find a way to steal all your money by design.
00:45:55.440
But the design is guaranteed to make everything corrupt,
00:46:19.220
You created a system that guarantees a whole bunch of people
00:46:28.220
Whoever can say it's the worst gets the most money
00:46:56.080
I talked about it yesterday, and a lot of you have heard about it.
00:46:59.400
So Nate Silver was talking about the fact that there was some big study
00:47:06.480
that showed that the people in red states were dying at a higher rate
00:47:11.160
than the blue states after the vaccination came out.
00:47:16.500
So Nate Silver, as I've said a number of times,
00:47:24.940
You want to hear the counterpoint to Nate Silver's take
00:47:27.880
that the data shows that as soon as the vaccinations came out,
00:47:35.520
That that difference started before the vaccinations came out.
00:47:44.520
you can see that the difference started long before
00:47:59.500
If the difference happened before the vaccinations,
00:48:05.680
Now, this comes to us in the Wall Street Journal
00:48:14.160
A July study in the Journal of American Medical Association
00:48:17.140
Now remember, the Journal of American Medical Association
00:48:26.800
purported to find a higher rate of excess deaths
00:48:45.120
But the study lacked information on individuals' vaccination and cause of death?
00:48:53.600
Wait, it's a study about vaccination status and cause of death,
00:48:59.080
but what it lacked was information on your vaccination status and cause of death.
00:49:12.200
It also didn't adjust for confounding variables.
00:49:15.120
such as underlying health conditions and behaviors.
00:49:21.140
Apparently the age part was not the biggest problem,
00:49:47.720
Here was science in which their own data that they published
00:50:03.240
And not only did that opposite get through the peer reviewers,
00:50:10.060
But it got all the way to probably Dave Silver.
00:50:13.200
I'm not sure if he was looking at this one or not.
00:50:15.300
Might have been some other data he was looking at.
00:50:23.660
Because how many people are going to dig into the appendix
00:50:32.540
Now, if I got a second opinion from the study authors,
00:50:57.560
That if money is involved, science just breaks.
00:51:35.220
i think he's right oh was that so fitting for today you guys you like the way that all
00:51:43.540
tied in to what we were saying about voting and by design and corruption and man as soon as he's
00:51:51.680
he's so right as soon as you introduce money to anything everything just goes corrupt and um
00:51:59.240
I mean, I've been saying this forever about why do we have politicians that are still in office in their 80s and 90s, you know, that will just die on the floor of Congress because they're so in on it.
00:52:15.600
They've enriched themselves and their families and everybody's got dirt on them.
00:52:20.540
So, you know, I love Marcella, how he just says, you know, well, first of all, term limits.
00:52:28.740
it's never passed. Um, but you know, he's right. Like imagine if you could just fire a hundred
00:52:35.480
percent of the people every year that have anything to do with like how the elections are
00:52:39.640
run, that would be a pretty good safeguard. What do you think? You know, he's right on certain
00:52:46.280
things, but I don't agree that money in itself causes the corruption. Um, money is wealth and
00:52:53.960
what you earn for wealth, for money. So I do see that difference. But I understand what he's
00:53:01.500
trying to say. I think it's government. I think it's whenever government gets involved, cronyism
00:53:07.220
and anything that is controlled and everything's slow moving. And we need a committee to vote on
00:53:14.440
this, on that. They make the system so difficult to deal with, which is not what the founders
00:53:21.180
wanted to begin with. They wanted a system that was not from the top, not a federal
00:53:29.260
controlled, but state, your local town and your state to control your own area because
00:53:38.960
only they know your area. But in reality, he is right. There is going to be corruption
00:53:45.540
whenever there's money, whenever there is systems, just as giant as the voting system,
00:53:52.340
the, uh, you know, being a politician in itself, um, also not having term limits. Um, but
00:54:00.740
I am for one, I worked in government and I don't agree in regards to firing someone
00:54:08.500
every year. I understand what he's trying to do, but that's what I had at the court system.
00:54:13.980
they would like switch you off to another area and like it's like having it to me it didn't make
00:54:22.500
sense because if somebody's a specialist in a certain area of law and then you move them to
00:54:28.240
let's just say they're a specialist in family law and you move them to criminal law now you're gonna
00:54:33.320
put them in there and they're not gonna know what they're doing so it's kind of like moving um a
00:54:39.320
pilot out of flying the airplane and putting him in baggage claim or whatever it is, and then
00:54:44.600
putting the baggage claim person into the pilot seat. Um, I think having people in government that
00:54:51.980
have had experience with what they're doing, that's, that's good. That's always in my idea of
00:55:00.980
it as always, when I worked there, very few had stayed in their position. And that was one of the
00:55:06.760
major issues. Um, but that's just the court system. So I don't know any other type of system,
0.98
00:55:14.640
but, um, I think what, what me, what he's missing is enforcement. Um, El Salvador,
00:55:24.380
like we talked about many times over, um, the system itself wasn't working because nobody was
00:55:31.700
being put in prison nobody there was no uh no you know it crime pays you know if you're gonna do
00:55:40.520
corruption if you're gonna do um if these politicians are going to be able to get paid
00:55:46.580
as much as possible you know be able to um do insider trading um all sorts of things that they
00:55:54.540
are making money outside of their job and nobody is enforcing any type of law or there is no type
00:56:00.820
of law that to punish them, then they're going to continue doing it. So, you know, maybe it's
00:56:05.780
the attorney in me. I think that there should be some kind of punishment and some kind of insider
00:56:10.620
trading laws and against that and all sorts of things, but there isn't anything. So you're,
00:56:17.180
you're, you're basically is, um, you know, the sign to be this way and the sign for nobody to
00:56:26.060
ever enforce the law uh yeah i mean sorry i went on a tangent but i feel very strongly about i no
00:56:34.380
i think we all agree agree with you because we keep saying make someone the example put someone
00:56:41.420
in jail there's plenty of people to pick from um that have blatant corruption like how did aoc get
00:56:48.940
rich in like one minute you know she literally gets in congress and then she's like instantly
1.00
00:56:55.340
a multimillionaire. Um, why would anyone stay? Like people can't wait to retire. Right. And
00:57:03.020
they say that DC is such a swamp. It's so corrupt. It's disgusting. But yet if you work there,
0.97
00:57:08.260
you want to stay there until you're dead. It just doesn't make any sense. So, you know,
00:57:14.040
yeah. Ilhan Omar, all I have to do is see that name BJ. Good God. Yeah. So she's another one.
00:57:19.120
She's, you know, a multi-bazillionaire where, where did that come from? I mean, we know
00:57:24.080
probably a lot from the leering centers. So, you know, it, it is true. We need to enforce the laws
00:57:31.340
that are already on the books and the laws have to apply to everybody equally. Um, we have not
00:57:37.420
really, I don't, I can't think of a time where I've seen someone pay the price for their corruption.
00:57:43.760
I mean, certainly not a Democrat. I've seen Paul Manafort and Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon,
00:57:50.600
and get in trouble for nonsense, but never a Democrat. I can't even think of one. Who would
00:57:56.240
be one? Rob Boglojevich, by the way. Remember him? I saw an interview, by the way. I'm going
00:58:05.440
to post it somewhere. I can't remember who it was with. It was one of the best interviews I ever
00:58:10.120
saw. I didn't think I was going to watch it. Time Nazism, gotcha. I think it was on Tucker Carlson
00:58:15.440
like a year ago. And I was like, ah, I don't want to see about Rob Bogloyovic, whatever. Oh my God,
00:58:21.720
the corruption. You have to listen to this interview, you guys. I'm going to post it later.
00:58:26.480
Just watch it. And I have a whole new respect for this man and fondness, if you can believe it,
00:58:33.720

01:01:20.400
If anybody found out how weird I am, I'd be in trouble
01:01:27.720
Well, I would like to introduce to you the basket case theory
01:01:39.360
If you meet a stranger, it could be somebody you want to date
01:01:43.460
Or just somebody you work with, maybe just a friend
01:01:47.320
When you meet them, don't they seem pretty complete?
01:01:54.500
I wish I could be like that stranger because that stranger doesn't have anything weird about them.
01:02:00.180
They've got their act together and on the inside pretty confident and pretty capable.
01:02:10.140
And you learn more about your date or your frapped or your co-worker.
01:02:18.220
Oh, well, I didn't see that on day one, but there does seem to be a flaw.
01:02:28.660
Two years later, well, I guess everybody's thought that.
01:02:40.680
Everybody looks good until you get to know them.
01:03:12.980
As soon as you realize that every fucking person is a basket case, you're free.

01:03:28.300
What is it that bothers you more than anything as long as you're healthy and you have a job?
01:04:31.000
Everybody looks good, until you get to build them
01:04:34.360
Once you get to know a human being, they're always bad
