00:03:29.200 good morning. Good morning back. I do have this weird feeling, like a little vibe feeling that

00:03:37.060 something good is coming, but I think it's going to be just a little bit of pain just for a little

00:03:45.280 short amount of time, but I think something good is coming. So I don't know. I mean, take that out

00:03:51.560 in the street with you today. Great. Good job, Erica. Is it kind of an Islam's going away vibe

00:03:55.900 or a socialism is about to die vibe? 1.00

00:03:58.420 Well, I mean, it's on the chopping block.

00:04:01.600 Let's put it that way.

00:04:02.820 It's more like Fauci's testifying on Wednesday.

00:04:06.420 Oh, Fauci.

00:04:09.580 Foreshadowing.

00:04:11.380 All right.

00:04:12.140 Before Fauci, I just have to give a very, very special birthday shout out

00:04:16.780 to my favorite one-year-old, Punch Monkey.

00:04:21.220 You guys, you know I love Punchy.

00:04:22.920 he's our little macaque monkey living in Japan in a zoo. His mother abandoned him after he was

00:04:31.840 born. And so he's been living in the zoo and they gave him a little stuffed animal to bond with.

00:04:37.880 And he's grown so much in a year, you guys. And now there's other little babies at the zoo

00:04:42.980 and he's like their big cousin and he's mentoring them and they're jumping on him. And he's like,

00:04:49.140 oh, these kids. But let's just take a quick look back at my little punch monkey who turned

00:04:54.680 one-year-old yesterday. Look at him. That's his caretaker. And you guys, he's so soulful.

00:05:10.140 He has so much personality. The only word I can think of with punch monkey is riz. He's got the

00:05:15.820 is the charisma look at that little baby how can you tell them apart once they grow up like it

00:05:21.760 must be hard or they must have like well luckily walking he's darker than most of them so um you

00:05:30.140 can usually like see him pretty well but he i don't know he just has personality it's like he

00:05:35.940 stands out that's when he was a little little so happy birthday punch monkey he made the whole

00:05:43.060 world fall in love. All right. There he is. The little birthday boy. Thank you for indulging me,

00:05:58.980 you guys. Yes. Riz is short for charisma. So it's the Riz kids. I'll keep you up to date with all

00:06:07.560 the lingo. No, I won't. Um, all right. So Marcella, you said the magic word, which was

00:06:13.620 Fauci. Oh, is that the magic word? Yes. Every time we say Fauci, take a sip or a rip,

00:06:20.760 whatever you want to do. Um, yes. So Marcella, he is going to be what in Congress on Wednesday,

00:06:25.960 right? Yeah, he's going to, well, allegedly, you never know what, you know, what his lawyers,

00:06:32.280 what he's going to do because he knows it's like sort of a not an not entrapment but he knows that

00:06:38.840 he has to be very careful what he says uh well you always have to be careful what you say to congress

00:06:43.840 under penalty of perjury but um but still it's happening Wednesday and Senator Rand Paul is

00:06:52.300 always reminding him of that yeah I mean so that's pretty amazing so he was pardoned but now

00:06:59.480 when you come in with Congress, you can't lie to Congress now. So the pardon, Marcella, as I

00:07:06.680 understand, protects him from anything he did. But if you lie to Congress, that's a separate issue.

00:07:14.980 Is that correct? Yeah. New crimes are not covered, which one would be perjury, which is false

00:07:23.140 statements to congress um however they could always try to say well it was a statement for

00:07:29.860 back then and so you can't get me for back then but um in regards to false statements it's the

00:07:37.060 false statement itself not really what it's connected to so that's why he needs to be very

00:07:42.080 careful but he could always take the fifth um you know which i'm sure he would people have before

00:07:49.740 before congress so yeah but it'll damage his reputation yeah i think his reputation is a bit

00:07:57.980 damaged already for half the country or more i mean with people who are more neutral i guess i

00:08:04.280 mean a lot of people probably have their mind made up like he's got his fan base on the liberal left

00:08:08.460 and he's got his haters on the right but um you know there probably are a lot of people who just

00:08:14.060 haven't been paying attention and just remember him being on the stage back then and think of him

00:08:18.640 as the savior of the world and you know but if they start seeing him pleading the fifth

00:08:23.160 that might change things can he plead the fifth i think anybody can and he would okay i thought

00:08:31.040 we all have that pardon okay uh not not for questions so he doesn't need the fifth for

00:08:39.020 questions of the before but um he can definitely partake in the fifth he doesn't necessarily have

00:08:46.680 to if it's connected to but regarding false statements themselves you know at the time he's

00:08:52.680 doing them but um in regards to things he did in the past he's covered you do from 2014 14 to like

00:09:01.740 when the auto pen signed the uh pardon yeah marcella you might know better than me given

00:09:08.840 your lawyer like i know there is some exception to the fifth when you have like immunity so does

00:09:14.440 Does he have immunity that would allow Congress to say you can't plead the fifth?

00:09:17.460 You have to answer.

00:09:19.180 Yeah, there's certain things that he has to say, but he could always, you know, if he there's certain things that are connected to the past where he can answer them.

00:09:28.900 But you can always like you can always do it now, whether it's going to be, you know, they're going to do something, you know, where they're saying, no, you can't.

00:09:44.280 because you already got immunity um a pardon necessarily it's not immunity in itself you know

00:09:50.300 so um i don't know i'd have to look into it i'll look into it before he testifies i'm sure it's

00:09:57.480 also like a question because i think the pardon only covers federal crimes not state so he probably

00:10:04.600 still is at risk for a lot of state prosecutions maybe for some of those i feel like there is some

00:10:10.500 twist marcel you'll find out for us and then we'll yeah we'll find out like wednesday morning during

00:10:15.220 the show and then the issue of state versus uh federal most of things he did for every state

00:10:22.980 can be considered federal so that's the issue is that um the the states can try to prosecute him

00:10:30.580 however most the the the issues that he would fall into the issues that they would fall into

00:10:38.420 are all federal issues so they could move the the the state issue to a federal court so that's why

00:10:45.140 they have that's why you don't see them doing it because it's not possible unless you find

00:10:50.180 certain crime a certain thing that is only state is there any chance he could just be cellmates

00:10:55.860 with luigi mangioni that would be interesting maybe you know you author your own reality on

00:11:03.860 oh my god we keep saying that lately author yourself that's what i told mike burt author

00:11:09.440 yourself author this next chapter mike burt um all right so i do have a couple of clips i mean

00:11:15.140 this all right so this man dr fauci you know wow does he love himself first of all because now

00:11:23.900 senator ran paul has released the fauci diaries apparently he was keeping um a diary and i don't

00:11:32.060 know how he has it i guess it was in the emails or in his computer but he is quite taken with

00:11:40.000 himself i've actually asked owen to to read one of them for us since we like when owen reads all

00:11:45.680 the male parts of the uh the show here so owen did you have like this massive portrait of himself

00:11:51.840 in his office yes who does that fauci but like nobody else it's on you i mean oh yes mine's

00:12:01.600 behind this wall. So Owen, for the class, I'm going to pull up this one. And if you could just

00:12:08.340 take a listen to how Fauci is talking about himself. Let me post it here. I'll make it bigger.

00:12:14.600 Go ahead. All right. I got to lean in. It's still kind of small for me. All right. So it says,

00:12:21.600 at task force meeting, I stressed the problem about the PPEs being diverting to testing

00:12:27.720 as opposed to HCWs.

00:12:30.440 I also emphasize this strongly

00:12:32.120 as the subsequent press conference.

00:12:34.340 Again, we meet with POTUS

00:12:36.380 after the TF meeting

00:12:37.880 and in preparation for the presser.

00:12:40.260 Very good press conference.

00:12:42.840 Big front page article about me

00:12:44.260 appeared in the Washington Post.

00:12:45.700 Very flattering.

00:12:47.200 You guys are enjoying this, aren't you?

00:12:48.720 Yeah.

00:12:50.480 The situation with my national

00:12:52.660 and international fame is explosive

00:12:54.740 and really unimaginable.

00:12:56.460 It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable pieces in the world.

00:13:07.440 Countless profiles on me and multiple media.

00:13:10.040 I cannot even read all the things they have written about me since I am so busy.

00:13:14.140 Seriously, POTUS seems to be enamored of me.

00:13:17.820 Even though I am taking the spotlight away from him, we are developing a very unique and interesting relationship.

00:13:23.080 the entire secret service corps is coming over to me and chatting they let me into the first

00:13:30.120 gate without even checking id everyone is worried about my health and welfare probably because it is 0.91

00:13:37.620 all over the place and i am almost 80 years old oh man this man so yeah he is a twix a sick 0.99

00:13:48.580 twisted. I said a twix, a sick twisted. So that's interesting. I'm going to bounce around. So just 1.00

00:13:55.040 keep in mind this man, okay? And he loves praise being heaped on him. Now here's an interesting

00:14:01.720 20 second clip before the pandemic. So you have malaria, tuberculosis, HIV. These are things that

00:14:10.640 are there. And then the other thing that I aspirationally hope to be able to encounter

00:14:17.080 is the ability to rapidly respond to something brand new,

00:14:22.520 whether it's a brand new pandemic

00:14:24.560 or, as you mentioned, a brand new attack upon us

00:14:28.140 deliberately by bioterror.

00:14:31.520 I'm sorry, what?

00:14:33.760 Can we just play that one more time

00:14:35.280 just in case you didn't hear what he said?

00:14:38.480 So you have malaria, tuberculosis, HIV.

00:14:41.580 These are things that are there.

00:14:43.900 And then the other thing that I aspirationally

00:14:46.980 hope to be able to encounter is the ability to rapidly respond to something brand new,

00:14:55.000 whether it's a brand new pandemic or, as you mentioned, a brand new attack upon us deliberately

00:15:00.640 by bioterror. Interesting. Somebody needs to modify that with the eyes so he's wearing a

00:15:07.400 Nazi outfit. Yeah, the little mustache, the whole thing. I mean, oh my God. When you go back 0.65

00:15:13.800 in plain sight. Here he is. I mean, this man is insane. So that was by Mazemore. You guys,

00:15:21.220 you have to follow Mazemore on X. He has great content. We love him. So here he is saying like,

00:15:29.320 oh, I aspire to this. I want to be in charge of a brand new pandemic or bioterrorism. I mean,

00:15:39.120 that's pretty sick. Um, you know, does he take his job seriously or is he just a whack? I don't 0.94

00:15:46.140 know. It's probably was just reminiscing about as the good old days when he got to kill all the gay 1.00

00:15:50.820 people. Oh yeah. That's, that's a good point. Um, so Marcella, I know you were talking about 1.00

00:15:59.540 some of this stuff, uh, this weekend, but I, Oh shoot, I deleted the wrong thing. I wanted Owen

00:16:04.960 to read. Nevermind. All right. So one more on Fauci. Hang on guys. Let me go back here.

00:16:15.040 Sorry. My clip got weird. Oh, but good news on Rumble. They have now allowed me to put captions

00:16:20.600 under the videos. It's a new feature. You know which ones they are. I do. If I could just read

00:16:25.880 the font that would be amazing so here is hang on be dillian i am the science

00:16:35.580 okay you guys sorry i for some reason it's again wacky but let's just go to this next clip i think

00:16:43.260 this is a compilation um from our media about how they feel about fauci the single most respected

00:18:51.760 Thank you so much, Dr. Fauci.

00:18:57.540 Oh, dear.

00:18:58.860 Oh, dear.

00:18:59.920 That's right. 0.99

00:19:01.260 So in case you're wondering who the most foolish people are in media, you just saw them. 0.99

00:19:07.120 Oh, my God, Ellen. 0.98

00:19:08.500 I think Fauci was also the most highly paid government employee.

00:19:11.540 And that's probably not even counting all the millions of dollars of royalties that he got to keep secret that he was able to just like basically tell drug companies, we're going to approve your drug, but you're going to pay me a bunch of money.

00:19:22.760 Yeah. Yeah. He is or was the highest paid. He still has security. I think he has like security for life now paid for. Or did Trump get rid of that?

00:19:33.160 I don't remember. Trump took it away.

00:19:34.640 Okay. So it's just gross. It's just gross. And you look at people like Chris Cuomo and forget his brother, how his inactions ended up killing a lot of senior citizens by letting the nursing homes run rampant with COVID instead of using the floating hospital they had. 0.81

00:19:58.760 they had this whole thing set up like in Central Park. I think that was Catholic Charities did

00:20:04.460 that. And then Chris Cuomo since was like, I should have done this. I should have done that.

00:20:12.960 I'm taking ivermectin now every day. I'm like, no, no, no, you don't get the ivermectin. You

00:20:18.740 shamed everybody. You and your boy, Don Lemon, just shaming people every night, saying the most

00:20:25.700 disgusting things i don't know about you guys oh samaritan's purse thank you did central park i 0.84

00:20:31.000 don't know about you guys i like i don't care what chris cuomo says anymore he's trying to like

00:20:35.840 win new people over um no no i will not forget what they did so um any comments about the media

00:20:46.360 thus far you guys because i i can't wait to see how they cover or don't cover when he goes to

00:20:52.240 congress marcella or owen no i mean they're gonna they're gonna make him the hero um trump and the

00:21:02.740 republicans the villains i mean that's just that's just part of their um either their brainwash or

00:21:10.420 they they might know more they're just you know that's that's the that's the the story they'll

00:21:18.500 percent is that here's this American hero who was a doctor who saved so many lives during the COVID

00:21:25.680 pandemic. And now he's being forced, you know, he's old and frail and forced to answer these

00:21:33.980 questions, you know. Well, when I see someone like Robbie Starbuck, who I consider to be one

00:21:39.720 of the most decent human beings that we have out there saying, you know, that jail is not good

00:21:45.460 enough for this guy after seeing like all the diaries and everything else. I fully agree. I

00:21:50.680 don't, I don't care if he goes to jail. Um, like there's absolutely zero sympathy. Everyone in the

00:21:56.680 chats writing Dr. Death. Um, so here I want to play one last clip on this and then we're going

00:22:01.540 to get to Scott, but this is, all right, you guys, I, I am assuming on social media, if you guys are

00:22:08.160 on X or wherever you are, that you're following Catherine Herridge. Okay. Because she is probably

00:22:13.000 one of the only reporters that I just feel like never puts any kind of bias into anything. Like

00:22:20.240 she is just straight facts. She's great. So her, uh, her, her news channel, it's not really a

00:22:28.320 channel, but it's called Catherine Herridge reports and you can find her at Catherine

00:22:32.480 Herridge on X. So here she did like about a 40 minute video that you can find on her channel.

00:22:38.320 Well, here's an excerpt. This is with CIA, ex-CIA officer. He was a CIA operations officer

00:22:47.300 and doing a COVID investigation. And they did everything they could not to let this guy

00:22:52.000 say what he found. His name is James Erdman III. And this is just a quick,

00:22:58.140 like two minute clip, but take a listen here. You've seen the intelligence. What records

00:23:03.300 and discussions should the Senators focus on with Dr. Fauci?

00:23:06.900 They need to focus on contracts, for example,

00:23:09.700 agreements between agencies, health agencies,

00:23:12.680 whether it's NIH, NIAID, HHS, those MOUs,

00:23:18.420 those contracts and agreements,

00:23:20.520 and elements of the intelligence community.

00:23:23.120 If we're talking about dangerous gain of function,

00:23:25.680 which is exactly what we're talking about,

00:23:27.720 and Dr. Anthony Fauci knew that was dangerous gain of function.

00:23:33.060 You're going to want to take a look at the money.

00:23:35.560 Follow the money.

00:23:36.380 Where does that go?

00:23:37.180 That is the first and most important step.

00:23:39.240 Is there evidence of financial conflicts of interest involving Dr. Fauci and his associates?

00:23:46.420 I would say that that's a sensitive matter that I can't go into too much detail.

00:23:50.460 I will say there are issues related to financial impropriety and health officials that are currently being reviewed.

00:24:01.340 Can you provide any more detail?

00:24:03.580 I wish I could, other than to say that I think if you follow the money,

00:24:07.720 you will definitely identify some things that, at a minimum, need some examination.

00:24:13.500 Did you see conduct that you believed crossed the line into potential criminal activity?

00:24:20.640 With regard to Dr. Anthony Fauci, his involvement in trying to push a narrative into the IC,

00:24:27.000 I don't know if that rises to a legal piece unless there's finances and financial investigation that goes along with it.

00:24:37.120 In terms of potentially health officials or former health officials, yes, I do believe there is evidence of financial impropriety that deserves additional attention.

00:24:50.900 There does appear to be quite a few conflicts of interest that have been created by decades of this crossing of public health and biodefense.

00:25:01.240 And Anthony Fauci, he had to know.

00:25:04.300 He's at the top of, he's been in federal government service for 50 years.

00:25:08.760 And 40 of it, give or take, 40 of it, maybe 38 as NIAID director.

00:25:14.340 And he knew who was getting what funds for what research.

00:25:20.900 okay a great lesson that scott always said and we continue to say follow the money right um oh and

00:25:30.020 this guy the the whole 40 minute i think it's 40 minutes the whole 40 minute interview was really

00:25:36.320 great but so this guy you know first of all i don't think he's suicidal do you guys he he does

00:25:42.320 not appear to be suicidal um but what do you think about what he's saying here well i'm guessing a

00:25:48.720 I'm guessing he probably knows some things that are classified or whatever, and I think that's part of the problem here is the lack of transparency, that there are all these secret royalties agreements and things that I think there was an attempt, at least at one point, to say we should have these things be public, but I think whatever regulations or laws are out there allow him to keep it secret.

00:26:09.700 so they they have all these secret agreements where he can get royalties from when drugs are

00:26:14.680 sold or used and nobody gets to know how much he's getting from that and it seems just like a

00:26:21.840 you know i don't know how he got that kind of carve out or if it you know a lot of other people

00:26:26.200 are doing the same thing but that doesn't seem like something that should ever even be allowed

00:26:30.140 to happen like you shouldn't have anybody in a regulatory agency that's overseeing drugs and

00:26:34.920 things like that, that can directly financially benefit from those drugs being sold.

00:26:40.240 Right.

00:26:41.000 And, you know, at least you should know when it's happening and be able to say how much

00:26:45.620 money are you getting from this?

00:26:46.780 I mean, who knows how much money you may have gotten from all the vaccines?

00:26:50.160 Oh, yeah.

00:26:51.000 I mean, we're hopefully going to find out more.

00:26:54.280 It just seems like they have a lot more information now.

00:26:58.700 Marcella, do you want to say anything about it or can I jump into the next thing?

00:27:02.400 Just wanted to mention, you know, I'm always skeptical of any whistleblower on either side. That's all I can say. Once a CIA officer, it's always a CIA officer, as Scott would say. So that's how I take it. I'm very skeptical of what this man is saying. That's all.

00:27:20.220 And what I would just say is that what I expect to see in these hearings is it's going to be Scott's two movies on one screen.

00:27:26.080 You're going to have the Republicans like Grant Paul that are going to be grilling Fauci.

00:27:29.760 And then you're going to have the other side rushing to his defense and apologizing for how badly he's being treated and calling him a hero.

00:27:36.440 And then, you know, media will get out their knee pads.

00:27:39.420 Yes, absolutely.

00:27:41.400 100%.

00:27:41.800 It'll be interesting to see if anyone changes their direction.

00:27:45.340 Although I did see somebody doing it and I was shocked.

00:27:49.100 I'll find it for tomorrow. Um, all right. So you guys, I want to make sure we get to Scott's

00:27:53.680 whiteboard and, you know, going through all of those Scott things that we have and, and his

00:28:00.200 whiteboard lessons, I am telling you, nobody tried to tackle the issue of race or racism more than

00:28:07.720 Scott. So that's why I think we were all like, Oh my God, this world is so stupid trying to pretend 1.00

00:28:13.220 that he was a racist and said anything that was wrong, which all of us know the truth, but 0.98

00:28:18.660 this one is, we're titling it Beyond Intersectionality. And again, let's just take

00:28:29.280 it in. And if we have time at the end, we're going to quick chat about it, but I want to make sure we

00:28:32.820 get this in. Okay. So sit back and relax. I think we have maybe 13, 14, 15 minutes with Scott. Are

00:28:40.360 you kidding? Let's do it. I'm going to tell you where things are headed. You ready? Whiteboard

00:28:47.580 time. Well, I'm old enough to remember, as many of you are as well. Let me give you a clearer look

00:28:59.880 here. When, if you're talking about discrimination, the biggest topic of discrimination was usually

00:29:11.120 white versus black. So there was a time when it was just a white versus black conversation.

00:29:16.540 But as you know, that was not good enough,

00:29:20.100 and that eventually evolved into something called intersectionality.

00:29:24.260 Now, if you're not aware of this term,

00:29:26.480 intersectionality means that you might be discriminated against

00:29:31.960 for more than one reason.

00:29:34.260 For example, you could be black but also a lesbian.

00:29:38.600 So that's the intersection, and that's important 1.00

00:29:41.620 because the problems of just being black

00:29:44.840 would be different from somebody who's black and LGBTQ. 0.95

00:29:49.760 But let's say you could throw disabled in there, 0.54

00:29:52.260 people who are differently abled.

00:29:53.860 So you'd have a number of categories,

00:29:55.400 and you could be more than one.

00:29:57.000 You could be several things.

00:29:58.700 Now, why is this better?

00:30:00.800 Why is it better to look at intersectionality

00:30:03.420 versus just to see things as race?

00:30:07.200 Well, I'll tell you.

00:30:08.660 Your common sense is very clear on this,

00:30:12.920 which is that it's not close enough.

00:30:17.020 That the people who have these unique problems

00:30:19.340 have problems that are pretty unique, right?

00:30:22.820 If you're Hispanic and LGBTQ and you've got a disability,

00:30:31.480 your situation isn't quite like anybody else's.

00:30:34.080 Would you agree?

00:30:35.140 You have some things in common, but your situation's different.

00:30:39.740 So it makes sense.

00:30:40.840 I think everybody would agree.

00:30:42.920 left and right. It makes more sense to get down to some granularity. So suppose we wanted

00:30:49.920 to improve on this yet again, right? So just looking at black and white, it's too big a

00:30:57.920 category. You can't do enough with it. Go to a little more granularity. Well, you might

00:31:02.780 be black and also this, or this and also that. That's better, wouldn't you say? More granularity. 1.00

00:31:09.780 If you're going to fix a problem, you want to understand it

00:31:13.240 as well as you can understand it,

00:31:15.460 and this moves you closer to understanding it.

00:31:18.680 So what would be the next logical place that this should go

00:31:22.760 if we continue to be rational?

00:31:33.740 People.

00:31:34.340 People.

00:31:37.060 Or actually, person.

00:31:39.780 Because it's individuals.

00:31:42.400 Individuals.

00:31:50.660 Now, if you understood discrimination

00:31:54.440 and everything else in terms of individuals,

00:31:57.760 which is really where this was getting to,

00:32:00.600 it was getting closer to the individual,

00:32:02.540 but if we go all the way, now we can really do something. 0.95

00:32:05.300 Because if this is the problem, white versus black, 0.83

00:32:09.780 what are you going to do about it? 1.00

00:32:12.600 What's your plan to make that better?

00:32:14.560 Well, there's some things you can do,

00:32:16.360 improving education, etc.,

00:32:17.900 but it doesn't seem to be working.

00:32:20.400 So then getting to more granular,

00:32:22.740 well, maybe we can do something

00:32:23.900 if we understand it at this level,

00:32:26.120 but how about going further?

00:32:28.140 How about going all the way to the individual?

00:32:30.820 Because each of these individuals has unique problems,

00:32:33.220 and it's not just their color

00:32:35.600 and their sexual preference or anything like that.

00:32:38.380 They're just different people.

00:32:39.780 So how about creating a strategy

00:32:43.200 that is the right strategy for each person,

00:32:46.540 which takes into account far more than the discrimination.

00:32:51.380 It takes into account where they live, how old they are,

00:32:55.560 what's their parent situation,

00:32:57.240 is there a good school in your town,

00:32:59.420 what's your personality, what's your character,

00:33:03.520 what things do you need that you don't have.

00:33:06.340 These are all solvable problems.

00:33:08.100 If you give me an individual, they might not take my advice,

00:33:13.180 but I could certainly tell them what to do.

00:33:15.740 I don't know how to solve these other things.

00:33:18.460 I don't know what I could do as an individual.

00:33:20.740 But if a person is in front of me,

00:33:24.500 and they're not succeeding in life and they want to know how,

00:33:28.040 I could totally help that person.

00:33:31.500 So I would say that the left and the right

00:33:33.980 were accidentally heading in the same direction, 0.71

00:33:36.440 which is the framing of white versus black

00:33:39.840 wasn't getting you enough, what do you do about it?

00:33:43.140 The instinct to go to the next level of detail

00:33:45.740 was the right instinct.

00:33:47.220 It's the right instinct.

00:33:48.520 It just doesn't go far enough.

00:33:50.480 You've got to go all the way to what makes every person unique,

00:33:53.360 and then you can solve their problem.

00:33:55.820 Now, here's the persuasion frame on this.

00:34:01.620 Do you notice that there's a whole lot

00:34:04.020 of making you think

00:34:05.980 past the sale in this, 0.99

00:34:07.900 especially the white-black

00:34:10.280 model, but also the

00:34:12.020 intersectionality model, they both have

00:34:13.920 the same characteristic.

00:34:15.640 The characteristic is

00:34:16.960 they ask you to accept

00:34:20.200 that this was the right way

00:34:22.040 to look at it in the first place.

00:34:24.440 If they're making you talk

00:34:26.020 about, if they're making you

00:34:28.020 talk about the difference between black and

00:34:30.020 white performance or outcomes,

00:34:32.660 then they've already made you

00:34:34.000 think past the sale, that this was ever the right question in the first place.

00:34:39.480 You see that? So every time somebody gets you into a conversation of outcomes or differences

00:34:46.320 in the average white or average black, they're talking about somebody who doesn't exist. 0.52

00:34:51.860 There's no average white person. There's no average black person. There's no average person. 0.77

00:34:57.880 We're not just different on race, and we're not just different because we all have some

00:35:03.360 different intersectionality thing going on. We are infinitely different. We are infinitely

00:35:10.000 different. So if you accept any of these frames, you're accepting an absurdity that looking at

00:35:17.320 the average of white people and the average of black people tells you something you could or 0.73

00:35:21.780 should do something about. Do you know what I care about the average difference between any two 1.00

00:35:27.300 groups? Nothing. I don't care. I have zero interest in fixing this average. Now that makes me sound 0.68

00:35:36.920 like a terrible person, doesn't it? But the reason I have zero interest in this is that it's a trick

00:35:41.620 and it gives you no solution. It only gives you victimhood and transfer of money. It doesn't give

00:35:49.300 you a system to fix it. So you have a goal. It's a goal. We'd like, you know, different groups to

00:35:57.320 have similar outcomes. That's a good goal. But what's the system? The system you don't really

00:36:03.600 have. Let's say you go to the next level and you complicate it or go down to more granularity.

00:36:10.560 It's moving in the right direction, I think, but it still doesn't give you a system. What are you

00:36:15.360 going to do about it? All right? So you do have an Elbonian disabled bisexual. So? And

00:36:26.620 they have different outcomes than the Asian American non-binaries or something. So what 1.00

00:36:40.700 are you going to do with that? That makes sense. That isn't discriminatory. But let's

00:36:45.540 say you take it to the next level of individuals. So, all right, so individuals have different

00:36:52.000 outcomes. So, Scott, you know, you keep complaining about systems. What's your system just because

00:36:59.760 you divided it this way? Well, my system is sitting behind you. Right there. Now, these are

00:37:15.500 two books that I wrote, but you wouldn't have to buy my books. These are both teaching you how to

00:37:21.520 develop a system for your own personal success. So if you divide it by individuals, you don't

00:37:30.840 just have a goal, but you have a system. Oh, there are basically skill development books

00:37:41.180 of all kinds. There are probably 10 books that if you read all 10, your odds of succeeding are

00:37:49.420 close to 100%, right? Unless you get sick or you have some terrible bad luck. But if you just did

00:37:55.200 the things that people who are successful advise you to do, and it might not be my advice. You know,

00:38:02.720 I don't call my stuff advice. There's a reason for that. But you have so many different sources

00:38:08.820 for how to fix your individual problem. You also have an infinite number of mentors

00:38:15.940 that would be willing to help.

00:38:19.060 What can a mentor do if you're looking at the world

00:38:22.000 as it's black versus white?

00:38:24.420 What does a mentor do?

00:38:26.640 It's hard to be a mentor in that world,

00:38:28.820 and the same with intersectionality.

00:38:30.780 But the moment you say everybody's infinitely different

00:38:33.540 and my problem isn't like your problem

00:38:35.980 just because we're both Elbonians,

00:38:37.740 I have a different problem than you do.

00:38:39.860 As soon as you go to that, then the systems open up.

00:38:42.980 Oh, here's the system for building skills.

00:38:45.940 Here's a system for networking.

00:38:48.620 Here's a system for improving your education outcomes.

00:38:52.000 Here's a system for studying.

00:38:53.900 Here's a system for your fitness,

00:38:55.780 because that helps you in every way.

00:38:57.680 Here's a fitness for your diet.

00:38:59.660 Here's a fitness for your appearance.

00:39:02.740 So until you get to the individual level,

00:39:05.740 there's no system solution,

00:39:08.680 and this cries for a system solution.

00:39:10.940 and that ladies and gentlemen

00:39:15.580 is my whiteboard

00:39:17.580 for today

00:39:18.820 and I would further

00:39:24.020 encourage you if you want

00:39:25.680 this kind of

00:39:28.620 frame to be the dominant one

00:39:30.580 that when somebody tries to bait you into a conversation

00:39:34.200 about the average difference between black and white performance

00:39:37.800 tell them you're not interested

00:39:39.760 but tell them you are very interested

00:39:43.440 in the success of any individual

00:39:45.860 for which you could probably help with some advice

00:39:49.200 I mean if the only thing you did is say

00:39:51.560 hey you need help succeeding, yes I do

00:39:54.540 well I'm not much of a mentor

00:39:56.400 but I could recommend five books that would really get you going

00:40:00.740 so every one of you can be a mentor

00:40:03.820 just because you know of a book to recommend

00:40:06.220 probably more than one

00:40:08.020 so do not buy into the frame

00:40:11.720 of what the average non-existent imaginary person is doing

00:40:15.620 compared to the average non-existent other person is doing

00:40:20.180 just don't buy in

00:40:23.300 don't let them make you think past the sale

00:40:25.560 individuals are the only frame that's worth talking about

00:40:29.680 everything else is political manipulation

00:40:32.740 love it

00:40:36.240 you guys let's let's get a light going um i love that because isn't that just what we all want

00:40:44.520 like we're so sick of hearing about these groups and categories and flags and this and that and

00:40:50.260 it's just like yes everyone's an individual um owen i'm gonna come to you first um i don't know

00:40:56.940 like he was just always trying to solve this problem and you know have have everybody just

00:41:03.320 let's just judge people on who they are well i think i you know one thing i would point out is

00:41:07.940 just that was a great example of scott doing persuasion like i mean it was clear that he was

00:41:14.260 trying to change the frame he was trying to convince people to say this is how you should

00:41:18.640 look at it not that way and i think it's an example of the high ground maneuver where when

00:41:22.040 the way he presented it it's like well of course this is the right way to think about it like that

00:41:25.700 doesn't make sense to do it the other way and he even used embrace and amplify where it's kind of

00:41:31.820 like, okay, we're taking this, you know, intersectionality thing and just taking it

00:41:34.780 a step further. And, you know, it's an embrace and amplify sort of thing. So I, I like all the

00:41:38.800 techniques that I noticed there. And, you know, what I was going to add, which I think, you know,

00:41:43.700 I was really saying, well, Scott didn't talk about this, but at the end he talked about,

00:41:46.760 you know, political manipulation. And I think that to me is a significant point because,

00:41:51.060 you know, when I'm listening to it, I'm thinking, well, they, you know, their goal isn't to solve

00:41:56.420 the problem like it's it's to create more problems and to create division and to try to convince

00:42:02.060 people to accept those frames so that they are dividing people and getting into a fight with

00:42:06.820 each other and trying to stir up things like racism and you know all these bad feelings and

00:42:13.300 making people feel like they're oppressed and then kind of jockeying for position to be like

00:42:18.880 well i'm more impressed than you are because i have this and that and um you know i think it

00:42:23.680 it was great how he sort of skewers the whole thing by saying, well, you know, okay, let's go

00:42:27.420 down to the individual level. Everybody has their own unique set of problems and unique reasons why

00:42:32.800 those problems are happening. And that, um, you know, it, it doesn't make sense to pin it all on

00:42:39.940 your identity, which really has nothing to do with you as an individual. Like, you know, you might be

00:42:45.040 black or a woman or a man or, you know, disabled or whatever, but that doesn't define you. And it

00:42:51.240 shouldn't you shouldn't be defined by some immutable characteristic um or even a characteristic that

00:42:58.140 you choose for the most part i mean that's just one aspect of you and so i think it makes a lot

00:43:03.140 of sense and i think he's you know doing he did a great job presenting that and in a high ground

00:43:08.660 sort of way nor should you be defined um on one thing you did in your life like one bad decision

00:43:16.580 one great decision i mean it's the whole of the person and which bad decision are you talking

00:43:22.760 about erica not me never made one not me sir no no um i was listening to scott this morning and

00:43:30.500 he was bringing up how people you know they're they're trying to go after trump for things and

00:43:36.220 they'd bring up the um oh god what was it called when he had that uh housing thing and they said

00:43:44.820 they were discriminating against black people. And it was like, oh, he's racist. They wouldn't 0.97

00:43:49.580 let black people move into that area. This is like in the seventies. And it's like, are you 0.54

00:43:55.020 really going back to the seventies to a business he had? He owned it. So yes, the buck stops with

00:44:01.940 him, but he was never personally found guilty of having anything to do with that. Maybe the people

00:44:09.120 in the company made bad decisions but it's like you know if you're if you're digging that hard to

00:44:15.280 put you know a dark cast on somebody you're you lost the plot you know and there were also lots

00:44:22.440 of stories that are counter examples to that from the same time period where he would like help some

00:44:27.160 black woman and give him a free place to live and all you know he would do all these things that 0.92

00:44:31.320 just show that everything they were trying to pin on him was just a complete lie yes so true

00:44:36.680 um marcella your favorite part about that um about what scott said yeah um just that he said

00:44:47.160 that individuals are you know that we should consider everybody an individual which i agree

00:44:52.260 100 um if you look at phase one phase two the the separation between black and white

00:44:59.300 there's always somebody pushing that and the persons that are pushing that are always

00:45:04.900 making money out of that victimhood and pushing that idea to different groups of people is the

00:45:16.580 reason being is that there's money to be made out of it so follow the money again goes back to that

00:45:23.280 if there was no money in it they wouldn't be doing it so they they know that they're individuals

00:45:30.020 but they push it. So I'm glad that he showed us and gave us reasons not to even go into the

00:45:45.120 argument when somebody wants to talk about it. I think this is great. So currently from all of

00:45:52.560 our platforms right now, there's about 4,000 people watching live. And if we walk away today

00:45:59.820 and all just work off of that lesson of treating people as individuals. And if somebody brings up

00:46:08.240 that argument to you about race or whatever, like he said, I'm not interested in that conversation.

00:46:13.340 But if you want to talk about mentorship or whatever, here's some books that might help.

00:46:17.920 I love that because it takes the pressure off of you if you're nervous about, I don't want to

00:46:24.140 debate somebody or be argumentative, or I don't really know what to say. He gave us the perfect

00:46:28.580 thing. I'm not interested in that conversation. I do know some great books that will set you on

00:46:33.940 the way. So I love that. Yes. Like Mark just said in the chat, 4,000 mentors, you know,

00:46:39.840 watching right now, then the replay will happen. So we're, we can all be mentors to people and to

00:46:45.020 like, keep this message going forward. I think, um, yep. Being Scott's debris is a great way to

00:46:53.020 keep being useful. Yes. The Alchemist by Paul Kaleo is a Coelho. I always say Kaleo. I have

00:47:00.140 a friend named Kaleo, but The Alchemist is such a great book. You guys, if you never read it,

00:47:04.160 what I like about that one, um, is it puts these ideas and practices in the form of a story. So

00:47:11.340 instead of just like teaching you different thoughts and ideas and ways to think it creates

00:47:16.240 it into a story so you can like picture it and see it unfolding. Um, so it's, it's, um, it's a

00:47:23.080 great thing that we can all be doing moving forward. And, you know, we have all of Scott's

00:47:27.780 books and if anybody needs book recommendations for a specific situation, you can ask anyone on

00:47:33.580 here. You can ask the three of us, you can ask anyone, uh, you know, during the show, there are

00:47:39.100 so many great books that we can recommend to people. Um, all right. So I love that.

00:47:44.080 anything else on that Owen? Well I think it's you know also I just noticed how he said you know I

00:47:51.580 don't give advice you shouldn't really talk about it as advice I think my suspicion is and I mean

00:47:57.200 he may have said this at other points in time was that it's kind of like when you try and push

00:48:01.100 advice on people it never works like you just unless people ask for help that it's not even

00:48:07.760 worth giving it and then people never seem to take advice like they you know hey let me give

00:48:12.600 you some advice nobody wants to hear that right so it's it's when someone has a problem and comes

00:48:17.280 to you for help that's when you have an opportunity to point them in the right direction but even then

00:48:22.140 it's probably better to say well you know go read this book or do this other thing and um make it

00:48:27.600 not about like you trying to push your personal perspective on them right um so that's good stuff

00:48:33.500 you guys all right so we have just about 10 minutes and um owen is going to give us some 0.98

00:48:40.260 rapid fire news because again we don't want to go out in the world like suckers and losers so

00:48:46.820 owen's going to give us just some like little bullet points of things we need to know

00:48:51.540 and um if marcella or i feel the need to comment we will but otherwise we'll let owen run with it

00:48:58.020 owen take it away well on the border with immigration um there's a lot going on uh there's

00:49:04.500 a story that uh apparently in houston 260 criminal aliens have been arrested in the first half of

00:49:11.620 july so that's a lot for just a short period of time so it does seem like we're making progress

00:49:16.580 getting rid of the criminal aliens that are in the country um looks like it was 259 arrested

00:49:23.380 individuals and they had entered the u.s illegally a total of 535 times so they're

00:49:28.980 you know, coming in multiple times, usually. Meanwhile, you know, Trump put the executive

00:49:35.680 order in to take away the TPS from the Haitians, which is the temporary protected status that 1.00

00:49:39.760 allowed them to stay here. And by the way, it was talked about with Joshua Lysak.

00:49:43.580 Yeah. And that, you know, for anyone who's not familiar with the background of that,

00:49:46.860 like they were originally brought over because of some kind of earthquake, like,

00:49:51.020 I don't know, almost 20 years ago. And they were only supposed to be here for some like six months

00:49:54.720 or something. And they've been here like, I don't know, 16 years or it's like ridiculous how it's

00:49:59.720 gone on. And so that's gone now. And it looks like ICE is actually starting an operation to

00:50:04.740 get rid of those people. So I know that it sounds like there are some companies that are already

00:50:09.100 complaining about how there's going to be a worker shortage and it's ridiculous, but

00:50:12.280 you know, they shouldn't have been here to begin with. And I think it'll be better when they're

00:50:17.560 back in their own country and we can have Americans taking those jobs. So, but it does 1.00

00:50:22.400 look like ISIS on top of it in terms of getting ready to start aborting those people. Interesting. 1.00

00:50:27.660 And they're like just, are they mostly in Ohio? I know Joshua said they're starting to spread out

00:50:33.280 now, but it seems like that's where the bulk are. And also you guys, if data centers and AI are an

00:50:39.920 issue, well, we'll open up some more jobs by taking those people out now. So that'll open up

00:50:46.480 the job market for people. Yeah. The story says the operations are expected to focus on areas like

00:50:52.260 indiana south florida and ohio so there are states involved excellent um so uh the previous

00:51:00.180 biden border chief mayorkas is apparently getting a resident fellowship at harvard

00:51:05.140 so you know you can get your mentorship from mayorkas but if you're a harvard

00:51:11.220 student i'm sure they'll benefit greatly from that or learn a trade okay

00:51:16.020 this is why trades people you don't need my orcas indoctrinating your kids um okay owen sorry go

00:51:24.420 ahead over to election integrity of course i think most of you are familiar with the 650 600

00:51:30.180 uh oopsie people on the new jersey voter rolls but apparently it's probably a lot bigger than

00:51:36.260 that i know there's a gop like republican national committee person who's saying that's just the tip

00:51:42.420 tip of the iceberg. And there is another story out now that 75,000 non-citizens were summoned

00:51:48.640 for jury duty in New Jersey. And that I think comes from the same list, right? I think they

00:51:54.900 typically take the voter rolls and then summon people for jury duty. So that would imply that

00:51:59.000 it's a lot more than 6,600 if they're non-citizens. You know, there may be multiple categories of

00:52:04.540 non-citizens, but I'm guessing a large percentage of those are probably here illegally.

00:52:09.740 Can I just tell you? So there was a very long stretch of my life where I was called to jury

00:52:16.940 duty like every year. And I'm like, how can they keep calling me to jury duty over and over and

00:52:22.620 over again? Finally, I mean, I was telling people where to go, what to do. Here's how you get your

00:52:29.780 free coffee in there, the bathrooms around the corner. I was there all the freaking time. And 0.79

00:52:34.660 then someone's like, why are you going so much? You should only be like every three years. I'm

00:52:39.020 like, no, I'm here every year. Like the people in the office recognize me, everything. The couple

00:52:44.120 of times that I got called up like into jury selection, when I tell you one of them, they

00:52:50.880 bring the first 12 possible jurors up and they're questioning them. I swear to God, 10 of them did

00:52:57.400 not understand a word of English. I'm like, how is this fair? How is this fair? Like, why do they

00:53:02.700 not understand any English? Like, I didn't even put it together that they were here illegally 1.00

00:53:06.500 because I'm thinking you wouldn't be, but I'm like, how are there legal citizens who don't

00:53:11.920 understand? Like, can you imagine if you were the person on trial and you needed a fair jury and

00:53:17.080 these people are like, I don't, I don't understand. I don't understand. And they weren't even like

00:53:21.480 taking them off. They were just like, Oh, you're fine. You're fine. Um, and it turns out, you know,

00:53:27.500 couldn't you just have turned to the person when they asked you the question and said,

00:53:31.080 no habla ingles i mean listen i i may have told a little white lie for one case because it was

00:53:38.100 gonna it was really gruesome and i'm like i'm never gonna be able to stomach this so

00:53:42.320 just once i got myself out but in all fairness i went to jury duty like 400 times and the reason

00:53:49.160 was just like when you go in a motor vehicle and you try to do something they had like four

00:53:54.340 iterations of my name so they had like a first initial a middle initial of this or that and for

00:54:00.020 each iteration they had they sent me jury uh requests so i was just like tell them you know

00:54:06.200 when they're guilty it's in the eyes you can see it well i was gonna have to do that at one point

00:54:11.540 i was gonna be like oh no like i totally agree with this crime i would do the same thing yeah

00:54:16.740 but it's but the point is it's like we're so messed up with our record keeping i'm sure it's

00:54:23.060 not just new jersey that you know the most important thing is to be able to get a fair trial

00:54:28.340 you know, from a jury of your peers. And my peers speak English, and they're, you know,

00:54:34.500 American citizens. And what I was seeing was not what was happening. So it's a little shocking.

00:54:41.660 Yeah. Marcella, do you get an exemption as a lawyer from jury duty? Or do you have to get

00:54:45.240 called up and then say you're a lawyer before they reject you? No hablo ingles.

00:54:52.160 So technically, you cannot serve in a jury unless you speak English. So I'm sure all

00:54:58.140 these people that were legal immigrants were pretending not to speak English not to serve 1.00

00:55:03.360 I'm guessing that's the because you you are not allowed to serve if you don't speak English 0.70

00:55:09.080 so that's why you would they were just like you know then they'd like re-explain it to them like

00:55:16.420 they were oh my god and I was like this is so great like they were doing their best to keep

00:55:21.500 them on there I was like oh my god well because they probably knew this person probably does

00:55:26.700 though but they're pretending um so I would say no no hablo ingles me llamo Marcela you know and

00:55:35.260 so they'll be like out of here the fastest person I saw being kicked out of a jury panel was this 1.00

00:55:41.620 lady that came up and you can use this if you like she was like you know are you biased uh it 1.00

00:55:48.500 was a civil case are you biased for the defense or for the you know plaintiffs and she goes you

00:55:54.680 know what i will ask jesus when who was guilty and who wasn't you know or like who's she's like

00:56:02.480 thank you very much ma'am you're out of here so i was like damn i could use that so no i you don't

00:56:09.980 get out of jury duty if you are um a lawyer but they tend to um you know if it's a civil trial

00:56:17.700 and they know that you are just a defense attorney they kind of want to kick you out because you'll

00:56:22.760 just, you know, be anti-plaintiff. So they eventually boot you out, but not, not technically

00:56:30.700 they don't, they usually want to, um, when you're impaneling a jury, you usually want to get rid of

00:56:37.360 all the engineers. That's just, sorry, sorry, engineers out there. Um, I, I also want to say

00:56:44.760 on my, for my benefit and I'm on my own behalf that when my friends get jury duty notices and

00:56:50.720 they're like, I'm going to get out of it. I'm like, that is so wrong. I'm like, it is your civic

00:56:54.680 duty. As an American, I go into a whole speech, a flag drops behind me, a podium comes. And I'm

00:57:00.820 like, no, you're not getting out of it. I'm like, what if your son was on trial? Wouldn't you want

00:57:05.060 someone like you in the jury? So I just want you to know I fully believe in jury duty and my civic

00:57:10.520 duty. And I showed up every time. That was my TED talk. Okay. Owen, any last minute other thing

00:57:18.100 you could tell us so we're not suckers and losers well mike lee is claiming that he's going to force

00:57:22.740 a roll call vote on the save america act before recess so um i think it was a ex post from scott 0.70

00:57:29.360 pressler that that uh triggered this and and he first replied i'll do it and then he put out

00:57:35.020 something saying i did not consent to you know just letting this go and not having a roll call

00:57:40.040 vote so it looks like he's at least moving in the direction of putting people on record which i

00:57:43.920 think is great but wait because they're going to go on vacation for the month of august

00:57:48.860 yeah i just well i i suspect that there are however many republican holdouts that don't

00:57:56.600 want to vote for this and they're probably the ones that may be cheating themselves or

00:58:00.060 at least think they'll benefit from not having this in some way and um they probably just don't

00:58:06.060 want to be on record right they don't want people to know it's them that's holding it out they don't

00:58:09.600 want to have anybody coming after them and saying why are you doing this to us um and i'm you know

00:58:16.100 so i think it is a good step to just say we got to put everybody on record and say vote yes or no

00:58:21.080 to this thing so we know who where everybody stands and i think they're probably avoiding it

00:58:25.060 also because of midterms you know people who might be at risk might be just thinking i don't want to

00:58:30.680 necessarily have to take a side here um if they're in some kind of swing state where no matter what

00:58:35.540 they do, they might lose some votes. Right. Um, I, I feel like if they go on vacation,

00:58:42.560 I'm going to flip the table. I'm just going to flip the table. I mean, these people giving

00:58:47.740 themselves raises, taking crazy vacations. We don't want to vote for what the people want.

00:58:51.880 Like it's so crazy. Um, I am shocked by the amount of people in our chat who never got asked to jury

00:58:58.940 duty. I have a friend who was a Marine. He's so patriotic. He's like, I've never been called for

00:59:04.960 duty ever. And I want it so bad. That is so bizarre. Um, Owen, I want to see that roll call

00:59:12.500 happen. I can't wait to see what happens. Um, and what am I being told? There is a published

00:59:18.300 calendar of Congress's vacation and holidays. If you haven't seen it, you will die when you see

00:59:22.860 how little they work. Oh yeah, no, I know it is. It is quite a job. It's so good. You become like

00:59:30.500 a multimillionaire and you love it so much you stay till you're 90 or dead. Oh, and by the way,

00:59:35.560 I meant to ask this, where's Mitch McConnell? Where is he? Where is he? All right, you guys.

00:59:41.820 So we have come to the end of our very, was our show okay today? Was it okay? Did we seem

00:59:48.060 disjointed? Cause I felt like, ah, today. Even if you like this disjointed show, if you didn't,

00:59:54.940 could you give us a like either way just like it if you loved it or didn't like it um we would

01:00:01.240 appreciate it so um owen and marcella do you know where mitch mcconnell is

01:00:06.640 i'm assuming the hospital still i think dr fauci is doing something to him yeah

01:00:12.860 all right well you guys are very sweet and i i loved the chat today coming up with all the

01:00:20.300 different iterations of my name was hilarious. Thank you. Um, we will be back tomorrow, the home

01:00:27.120 team. Um, and there might be a couple of little days this week where Owen might pop in and out,

01:00:33.760 but have no fear. He's going to mostly be here. And Marcella, Marcella, don't leave me, Marcella,

01:00:39.660 uh, will be here too. Okay, you guys. So as she says, all right, as always, let's say thank you

01:00:47.100 to Scott and Shelly for allowing the show to continue. I said during the show today in the

01:00:53.740 locals chat that I just feel like Scott's like sending down a beaming light, like just because

01:01:01.020 he's so overjoyed that, you know, in his last days, he just wanted to make sure we stayed together

01:01:08.500 and we are. And I mean, it's such a gift and it's such a tribute for Scott and for all of us and

01:01:16.260 the community and the family we built. And thank you for showing up for a show that is totally not

01:01:23.260 what Scott did, but with the spirit of Scott and for all of us. So I think he's happy. I think he's

01:01:31.040 really, really proud of all of us for being together. It's all he ever wanted. All right,

01:01:35.560 you guys. So let's have a closing sip to Scott. I will stay and play an Akira song. And if you

01:01:40.800 guys have to jet i get it so um again closing sip to our beloved scott to scott to scott

01:01:46.980 and thank you to marcella for filling in for me over the weekend yes marcella rocked it
