00:04:10.040 how to speak to people so they understand their responsibilities in life. It's so sweet. But

00:04:14.760 here he is, he's taking a group of boys. I think this is to learn, like, you know,

00:04:21.260 you have to pay your utility bills and how do you talk to people? It's so sweet. Let's just,

00:04:25.620 let's take a quick two minute look. I'd like to have a new service at my new house.

00:04:31.180 And your name?

00:04:32.400 Bryster Williams.

00:04:33.420 All right, Mr. Williams. Give me a few minutes. Let me get a couple of service rep for you,

00:04:37.080 Yes ma'am.

00:04:38.080 It's going to be $60.24.

00:04:39.080 Yes ma'am.

00:04:40.080 I'm sorry Mr. Williams, but this car is declined.

00:04:44.080 I might have to unlock it.

00:04:49.080 Oh!

00:04:50.080 You think he got to unlock that car?

00:04:52.080 How are you doing Mr. Sherman?

00:04:56.080 How about you?

00:04:57.080 Just fine.

00:04:58.080 You're here to pay your bills showing that you owe $187.27.

00:05:01.080 Can I get paid?

00:05:02.080 Yes sir.

00:05:03.080 Okay.

00:05:04.080 So, what do we write right here?

00:05:07.600 I'll do a new check.

00:05:14.980 And then, right hundred.

00:05:16.800 Yep.

00:05:20.560 All right, and then what are we putting right here?

00:05:22.240 The number.

00:05:22.960 The number, yes, sir.

00:05:24.280 All right, do it as well.

00:05:26.300 All right, but what are we going to pay?

00:05:27.560 Two hundred.

00:05:28.080 So, we can have a what?

00:05:28.860 Credit.

00:05:29.120 I'm like, oh, there you go.

00:05:31.620 Can I get that bill, please?

00:05:34.080 Good.

00:05:35.080 How can I help you?

00:05:36.080 I'm doing just fine.

00:05:37.080 So my bill was $13, and I usually pay $5, so I want to know why is my bill $15?

00:05:46.080 Wow, okay.

00:05:47.080 Can I see your bill?

00:05:48.080 Okay.

00:05:49.080 Your bill is going to provide a breakdown for you.

00:05:52.080 It shows that you're paying for water.

00:05:55.080 What do you need when you come here?

00:05:57.080 Your bill.

00:05:58.080 You need what?

00:05:59.080 Your bill.

00:06:00.080 You need your paper bill, you understand that?

00:06:01.080 Yes, sir.

00:06:02.080 What do we need when we come here?

00:06:03.080 don't have our paper bill what can we use for them to still be able to pay our

00:06:05.640 life bill? Say what? We just need our address and name. You good to go? All right. What are we going to do when we see our bill?

00:06:13.160 Make sure it's right. What are we going to do with our bill? Make sure it's right. We want to make sure it's right before we pay it.

00:06:17.860 You understand that? So if we see anything that's a little too high or something

00:06:20.840 that looks funny or looks off make sure you say something because sometimes

00:06:23.180 people make what? Mistakes. People make what? Mistakes. You're on mute Erica.

00:06:33.080 this is my day so I love that because I don't know about you guys but wasn't your first

00:06:42.320 experience doing those things like the first time you actually had to go do those things

00:06:46.280 yeah yeah it was not until I moved out I guess I mean I you know I probably had a few things here

00:06:53.100 and there but for the most part nobody ever taught me to do any of those things I think the

00:06:57.280 the closest I had was in high school I took a class that I probably never should have taken

00:07:01.820 and they taught me how to write a check um but and i do still remember that this every time i

00:07:08.540 write a check i think about that class and um because they taught you you know here's how you

00:07:12.520 do everything the little part of it you like you do the vertical line you do the horizontal line

00:07:17.180 you got to use the words you got like they taught you all the details that no like my parents never

00:07:21.860 taught me any of that they never showed me any of that nobody ever said anything like that and

00:07:25.740 so i wouldn't have known how to write a check otherwise and this class was like a remedial

00:07:31.220 class basically it was like i think it was called business math and they it was ridiculously remedial

00:07:37.420 where like they were teaching you literally like how to calculate the volume of a trench like you

00:07:42.300 know that level and this was high school right and um they had literal worksheets in a workbook like

00:07:49.040 that you would rip out and turn in it was just like i felt like i was in third grade again

00:07:52.580 but the lesson about writing checks i was like wow that was really useful now i know how to do

00:07:57.980 that. And I didn't know that before. And you know, it was pretty rare in high school where I felt

00:08:01.840 like I'm really going to use this skill. That's the one, but also like saying to them, you know,

00:08:08.820 you have to show up with your bill. If you don't have your bill, this is what you can do. Like

00:08:12.620 he's giving them all the roadblocks that they might run into. Make sure your bill is what,

00:08:16.640 you know, that it's correct because people can make what mistakes. So I love that Marcella. I

00:08:22.800 I mean, I don't know about you, but oh, but he does this like in so many other offices

00:08:27.800 too, like he takes them to airports, he takes them to a hotel, to a doctor's office, how

00:08:34.740 to make appointments, even how to make small talk.

00:08:37.680 And I see a lot of kids that I think, you know, at the age they are now, don't know

00:08:43.160 how to make small talk.

00:08:44.280 And even that is so important.

00:08:46.320 So, you know, did you learn this along the way?

00:08:50.060 you know i had it hard because i i learned most of this in germany so that was very difficult

00:08:56.220 because it's all in german and you actually literally had to go pay your bill at the bank

00:09:00.940 and the banks would always be closed during um during lunch time and i had no idea i was like

00:09:07.980 oh i'm gonna go pay my bill and i was so excited and then like they're like oh yeah by the way they

00:09:14.280 they do close for two hours during lunch time during the time you actually can go to there

00:09:19.240 and you had to like have these codes um you couldn't pay uh with with a card you had to pay

00:09:27.500 with a code and all these things so it's like it's really crazy to have to learn all that but

00:09:32.320 you end up figuring out how to do it uh people help you out but it was easy to learn there oh

00:09:40.040 yeah right and in another language you've done it all sister but um i want like i'll watch king

00:09:46.180 Randall the other day, he had the kids standing on the side of the road, just teaching them what

00:09:50.160 mile marker signs were. And I'm like, God, no one, I still don't really know what that is for sure.

00:09:55.520 You know, just things like that. I was like, this is so good. And a lot of parents don't have the

00:10:01.180 time and maybe they don't know, or they haven't thought about it or whatever, but I just love

00:10:06.880 this. So I think it just gives them a good headstart. So good for you, King Randall.

00:10:11.940 So the next clip I have, you guys, I heard that there was some kind of a leak high up in the administration about a Iranian strike.

00:10:23.420 So this isn't good.

00:10:24.460 But let's just take a listen because I didn't get to hear the whole thing yet.

00:10:27.040 I want to do it with you guys.

00:10:29.340 Operation that was leaked over the weekend.

00:10:33.580 It's obviously they need to figure out who's leaking from the White House.

00:10:36.820 That has to be someone high within government that put that out there to sources.

00:10:40.860 It's our job as the press to cover that.

00:10:43.240 But I'm curious from your perspective and your sources on the state of play that league played out in the Middle East

00:10:52.420 and who then phoned the White House to get to the negotiating table.

00:10:58.540 It's a great question because these leaks can be substantial.

00:11:02.300 And when you're looking at a situation with 50,000 U.S. service members, destroyers, refuelers, fighter jets across the region,

00:11:09.480 the operational security is very significant whenever there are plans being made to strike

00:11:15.360 Iran. And the president indicated he called off the planned strikes at the request not only of

00:11:20.240 Iran, but also of Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. What was interesting, though,

00:11:25.740 Lawrence, we spoke with senior Israeli intelligence officials over the weekend who said they weren't

00:11:30.320 even aware of the details of the plan. And that's how close the administration was holding these

00:11:35.440 details to the chest because of how sensitive it is in the region. And so moving forward, we do

00:11:41.060 anticipate the Trump administration will do everything possible to ensure that they're not

00:11:45.160 giving Iran a heads up. They want to keep the Iranians guessing as these diplomatic pathways

00:11:49.720 play out, understanding that if the talks fail, we are likely looking at a return to combat operations.

00:11:56.160 So obviously, Trey, you know, we are seeing the White House trying to keep their cards close to

00:12:01.480 the vest. But there is also a tremendous buildup. We've watched a tremendous buildup over the last

00:12:06.860 couple of months. You know, some of that is Trump trying to put pressure on Iran. But when you

00:12:12.740 compare the buildup that we've seen over the last couple of weeks to the buildup that we had when

00:12:18.220 all of this began six months ago, can you compare the posture?

00:12:24.500 it's slightly larger and the president indicated the strikes that were planned are actually larger

00:12:31.880 as well he described them as the largest since world war ii but when we look at the equation

00:12:36.920 right now this is not just an equation of military pressure this is an equation of economic deterrence

00:12:43.060 and that's exactly what we have seen from the trump administration over the past several weeks

00:12:46.980 with the resumption of the u.s naval blockade this blockade of iranian ports is costing the

00:12:51.960 Iranian regime hundreds of millions of dollars each and every day. And it's part of the reason

00:12:56.800 that the Iranians are looking for an agreement, because they understand that as the U.S. military

00:13:01.100 maintains its presence in the region, they have very few options in terms of an off-ramp here.

00:13:05.520 They are either looking at a return to combat operations or some sort of agreement, a negotiated

00:13:10.660 settlement that would alleviate that economic pressure and avoid strikes against the regime.

00:13:16.740 Trey, thank you so much. He said part one is to open up the strait, which could happen today,

00:13:21.540 and then he said part two is focus on their nuclear weapons and capabilities all right let's

00:13:26.000 hand it over to all right so i am so confused oh and i'm gonna just come to you first i'm just so

00:13:33.280 confused with iran um i have no words because it's like we you know we decimated this then we took out

00:13:41.960 that and then we did the biggest strike here and and now they don't have capability and and what

00:13:47.940 are we doing well i think it's schrodinger's war as i've said before that we don't really know

00:13:53.220 whether there's a war or not or what's going on or not or whether we have a ceasefire or whether

00:13:57.180 we're still bombing them and i think some of that is probably intentional but um you know it does

00:14:03.000 seem like there's just all kinds of confusion and conflicting messages coming out every step of the

00:14:08.160 way here where we're saying oh we have the perimeter of a deal i think was the words i heard

00:14:12.940 most recently and um and then i think iran is saying no we don't we're not talking to you like

00:14:20.140 what are you talking about and um i think they said they were only talking to omar or something

00:14:25.020 and or oman whatever that country is and um and so like you know i i think it's

00:14:33.260 some of this like i said is probably intentional by one side or the other or both

00:14:38.600 I do think that war is deception.

00:14:40.960 And so I think some of this probably is by design that you don't want to put out lots of accurate information about what you're about to do.

00:14:48.860 I mean, that was the mistake that I saw Obama making all the time.

00:14:51.340 He would like announce, here's what we're about to do militarily.

00:14:54.100 And he'd be like announcing it to his enemies so they could respond to it.

00:14:57.460 And the mistake was that he actually did what he said.

00:15:00.560 It's like you don't do that.

00:15:01.980 You need the element of surprise.

00:15:04.200 you need to be able to do your actions and not for you know telegraph everything you're about to do

00:15:10.420 and so that's why leaks are a bad thing because obviously that gives the advantage to the enemy

00:15:15.840 um but at the same time like i don't i don't know what's going on i mean it it's kind of hard for

00:15:22.340 anybody to really follow all this stuff i think and i've kind of just given up it's like okay i

00:15:27.220 guess there's something maybe going on over there maybe not you know we might be dropping bombs

00:15:30.980 even if they say there's a ceasefire and we might not and we might be out of ammunition or we might

00:15:36.920 not and i don't know so you know it just seems to keep going on and i'd like it to come to an end

00:15:42.500 i've said that over and over again and i think we should just end it but um it doesn't seem like

00:15:47.700 that's the direction it's heading at this point and it seems like you know they're trying to get

00:15:52.180 to some sort of deal at least to have the straight or moves be a safe place to do business for oil

00:15:56.800 transfers. But I know there's still the whole nuclear question about the nuclear dust and all

00:16:02.000 the other stuff. So the latest I've heard is that maybe Saudi Arabia is going to start doing some

00:16:07.060 kind of ground invasion to go after the Houthis or I don't know. But to me, it's like, I can't

00:16:12.780 really predict what's going to happen because I don't think any of the information we're getting

00:16:15.760 is really accurate. Well, look, Marcella, you respond to that and then I'll ask you a question.

00:16:22.280 go ahead you know i i don't i don't know for sure but it just seems like the leak

00:16:30.120 is kind of uh purposeful i have no idea if it was by done by the administration but it just

00:16:40.460 seems like one of those leaks that may have been done on purpose to scare iran to know that there

00:16:47.620 is a plan the plan itself that was leaked i don't think it's the actual plan um like owen said you

00:16:56.680 should not uh inform your enemy of how you're gonna attack them so i would notify them i would

00:17:05.800 normally agree with what you're saying except for i don't think trump would want the perception of

00:17:14.160 a leak in his administration to come out, even if it was intentional. I think he's so happy about

00:17:20.100 being pretty leak free this time. I don't know. But and then I'm like, is it like a distraction?

00:17:25.720 Like we can't follow it. You know, with midterms coming up, everybody is paying attention to the

00:17:33.560 insane Democrats, because honestly, they're the only ones really talking about issues at home

00:17:38.740 right now and the cost of everything at home and prices are so out of control and um i don't know

00:17:47.200 i feel like you know trump's in a bad position right now you know i'm just spitballing you guys

00:17:53.140 and some people will be like oh erica hates trump and erica's this and erica's that erica's just

00:17:57.320 telling you i i don't know what he's going to do about it i do you know want to say i trust in

00:18:04.120 Trump. And I don't know another president that I could want in this position more. It's Trump for

00:18:10.620 me. But we got big problems here. And then if people get, you know, a lot of people don't know

00:18:17.340 what's going on in Iran. Like, look at us. We watch the news every day. Like, we're paying

00:18:21.140 attention to the stories and we can't put our finger on it and what's happening. But we can

00:18:25.900 tell you that every one of our friends that isn't paying attention, they're drowning in debt. They

00:18:31.680 can't afford their lives right now. And the Democrat crazies are talking about Medicare

00:18:38.820 for everyone, and everyone's going to get free this and free that. We're in a really bad position

00:18:43.180 with the elections, Elwin. What's your thought? Well, I agree. I mean, I think that's why I was

00:18:51.040 hoping we would be done with this by spring sometime, because I think it's getting way

00:18:54.840 too close to the midterms. And with the focus being on the Iran war and all these foreign things,

00:18:59.620 it just makes it seem, you know, true or not, that Trump isn't really focused on making things

00:19:05.600 affordable or solving the problems for people that are really affecting them. And it's going

00:19:11.120 to make it harder and harder to have the messaging be the right stuff going into these midterms to

00:19:15.440 say, you know, come out and vote because we need to keep this momentum going when the momentum

00:19:20.100 looks like it's dropping more bombs on Iran. And so I think I'd certainly like to see a much

00:19:26.480 stronger focus on how you know how can how are we lowering prices i mean i think trump

00:19:30.800 the administration is doing a lot to help so it's like they have things they could talk about

00:19:36.360 but they just you know the news isn't going to follow that and especially if trump isn't out

00:19:41.720 there saying every day this is what we're doing this is how we're doing it and you know i think

00:19:45.840 we were supposed to have some kind of republican convention for the midterms i'm not really sure

00:19:49.980 what's going on with that are we going to still have that i know there's some kind of rally coming

00:19:53.580 up maybe in las vegas or something but um you know i think the the focus at this point should

00:19:59.560 be on the midterms and just getting us to the point where hopefully we would keep control of

00:20:05.620 the house and the senate but at least one of those two and i think both of them are at risk

00:20:11.160 enough that we should be worried about it and we should be trying to get out the vote and we should

00:20:14.280 be trying to get people to show up for both the primaries right now and for the um the general

00:20:20.000 election in November. So I, you know, I'd like to be focused on that. I'd like to be focused on

00:20:24.380 domestic issues, specifically affordability. And again, I think they are doing things to try and

00:20:30.300 help with housing and help with grocery prices and help with oil prices and all these other things.

00:20:35.600 But I just think it's kind of hard to sell that message when the news is talking about what's

00:20:41.380 going on in Iran. I'm looking at some of the comments in the chat first, Jackie. Yes, we all

00:20:46.700 miss scott's take on everything like i i wish we could channel scott uh and to know what he might

00:20:53.240 be thinking but it takes paying attention to a hundred people to kind of come up with an opinion

00:20:58.820 at this point um and to lemon minty you know you said maybe the people who can't pay their bills

00:21:04.400 have over consumed and bought into credit cards and high tech meant for distraction it's not that

00:21:09.880 like you know i saw jack pasovic made a post marcella and he said um have you noticed an

00:21:16.020 increase in prices on your everyday things. Like what is the, like name one thing and like where

00:21:21.260 you live. And I just said like, this sounds so stupid, but one stick of men's antiperspirant

00:21:28.020 was $11 at my grocery store. Something that used to be like $5. It's like, what is, like that's

00:21:35.840 just one stick of deodorant. Forget everything else that you have to buy your groceries. And

00:21:40.340 And, you know, so I think I'm wondering what you think, Marcella, for the people who felt like Trump ran on, you know, the economy is going to be great and we're going to lower prices.

00:21:50.500 Yes, I know, like things come up and we have this war going on.

00:21:54.320 But how do we tell those people to hang on when they can hardly hang on?

00:22:01.060 Well, so the good thing about this is the Democrats are running on communist candidates.

00:22:08.500 So it's easy for Trump now to say, hey, maybe prices are a little bit high, but you're still not in a soup line or you're still not getting ration cards like in Cuba, which you will be if you vote Democrat.

00:22:23.380 so affordability for them is free food but that free food expires uh you can take a look at

00:22:31.400 east and west berlin you can take a look at um cuba venezuela everywhere else uh chile at one

00:22:40.000 point um so the good thing about who he's running against is that they have no um no options the

00:22:49.500 option is we'll take stuff from the rich and give it to you um but that that runs out so um i think

00:22:58.740 wars are definitely have issues uh can have issues with the economy but most of the time

00:23:06.000 in the past if you look at the past a war is actually one of the the engines that runs the

00:23:13.580 economy. The United States was one that in World War II, one of the reasons the United States rose

00:23:21.340 as you from things that you look at is because of the production that was started by World War II.

00:23:31.500 So it's hit or miss. But I really think he has an easier message because of who he's going against.

00:23:38.820 perhaps if people are paying enough attention though that's the only problem most people

00:23:44.620 are checked out of politics or just trying to get through their life get their kids to school

00:23:49.020 put food on the table get to their job i'm worried about it but um all right so marcella

00:23:55.260 you basically said her name i know you never said hong in this conversation but

00:24:00.440 you know we're talking about crazy democrats with their crazy eyes you guys i wouldn't even

00:24:07.780 call them democrats i would call them dsa dsa the common is socialist yeah um actually i'm wondering

00:24:18.220 how much more time do we have you marcella um you oh so i have to leave early you guys because

00:24:25.320 i have court not because i got in trouble because i have to go for a client you're always in trouble

00:24:31.480 yeah 7 40 about 7 40 so all right so i'll wait till you go to play the clip of scott so

00:24:38.740 okay you guys this woman hung where is she running hang on where is she i keep thinking she's hung

00:24:45.740 so i can't remember her first name is it like woo it's the simulation oh god gives her that name

00:24:54.320 um you guys are hilarious in the chat by the way okay let me let's first here's my first clip of

00:25:00.640 Hong. It's Francesca, by the way. Oh, not Wu? No, it's Francesca Hong. That's her first name?

00:25:07.400 Yeah. It's Italian name? Okay. Well, she's a mess. She's Korean. She's a mess. Okay. So where

00:25:16.020 is she running in, Owen? I don't even remember. I think it's, let me see. Someone in the chat

00:25:23.880 we'll say it tell us i i can't get that invested i feel like an insane person but anyway

00:25:29.540 she's running and uh wisconsin thank you sean yeah yeah yeah okay andy look at this lady you

00:25:39.720 guys ready remember what scott said about the eyes what does she look like the police must still

00:25:46.560 existed still existed because the reality of this moment and the types of public safety systems that

00:25:55.300 we have i want us to be sensible and realistic but we know now that the billions invested in

00:26:01.100 the criminal legal system is not working we are spending um on incarcerating an individual more

00:26:07.640 than tuition for uw madison that you know this is about making sure that local law enforcement

00:26:13.240 to gavin school is working with community that we are taking resources from uh the state and

00:26:19.720 investing in things like public education victim services out of school programs for our kids to

00:26:24.920 go and have a great like be able to be themselves these are things that data and facts have shown

00:26:30.920 that prevent crime again if you want to be tough on crime you better be tough on causes do you still

00:26:35.880 long-term want to abolish police but ultimately you know i believe that we have to be serious

00:26:42.200 about public safety, and I'm going to be a governor that is more serious than

00:26:45.800 anyone else in making sure that we are building systems of care, that we are

00:26:49.240 focusing on lowering crime, getting guns off of our street, and making sure that

00:26:53.000 folks who are incarcerated, which 90% of those folks will be going back to

00:26:57.620 community, that we're lowering recidivism rate. And it's, you know, appalling to me

00:27:02.360 that, you know, for folks who are working within our prisons, they have some of the

00:27:06.620 highest suicide rates of any job and occupation. So this system is not working.

00:27:11.640 if we want to be serious, we better be putting these billions into the things that we know

00:27:15.660 prevent crime. Thank you so much. Thank you.

00:27:19.340 Holy cannoli. Okay. First of all, what, what did she say? And is it true that she had a mental

00:27:25.540 breakdown and was hospitalized in the past? I don't know, but Fletcher says so. Um, Kamala

00:27:32.040 times a million. Okay. Uh, who wants to, who wants to comment? I was questioning myself whether

00:27:38.980 kamala was giving her lessons on word salad or whether they have the same media coach that just

00:27:43.400 teaches them how to talk that way because they seem very similar isn't it crazy she's crazy

00:27:50.520 she's she is crazy you got and i'm not and i'm not not making fun of anyone and i'm not assuming

00:27:56.140 but the woman is batshit um marcella what's your first impression after that clip

00:28:02.080 she looks very old for being born in 1988 um just putting it out there um i know she's insane

00:28:12.720 she's insane she's like like there was an interview there was an interview in 2025 where

00:28:19.300 she said she had a mental health crisis at age 18 was hospitalized for a week and was diagnosed

00:28:24.240 with bipolar disorder great that's great um sorry i didn't mean to interrupt you no it's perfect

00:28:30.560 um go ahead marcella no i i think she's she has issues i think she just wants to win

00:28:37.580 whatever whatever she wants i don't the thing about her is you could tell that she doesn't

00:28:42.980 believe what she's saying that she's just kind of like a camera that she's just saying these

00:28:47.160 things in order to get votes from her audience in wisconsin so in a way that's a good thing

00:28:53.800 like kind of like a gavin newsom-esque because there's the real believers like mandami that you

00:29:00.100 could really feel that that's really how they think but her you could tell when they asked her

00:29:04.240 about um that's why they have to use board salad because they don't know what to say because they're

00:29:08.940 not going to really get rid of police they just have to appear like they will right so all right

00:29:14.640 so she wants to abolish the police let's see let's see here real quick what buddha judge wants to

00:29:20.800 abolish okay you're keen to remove the electoral college and do it based on numbers that the

00:29:27.820 quantity of votes for either presidential candidate.

00:29:30.620 And I still can't believe that anybody considers this radical.

00:29:32.920 Like, to me, it's, there's nothing radical about thinking

00:29:35.620 the person who gets the most votes ought to be the winner.

00:29:38.160 But I think people haven't thought through

00:29:40.460 how much benefit would come from that.

00:29:42.540 If we did that, there were so many votes

00:29:46.540 in red and blue states that you couldn't ignore anymore.

00:29:49.440 Like, if you were running for president as a Democrat,

00:29:52.240 you'd have to go to Texas.

00:29:54.280 And even if Texas is still gonna vote mostly

00:29:57.420 republicans you'd have to turn out every democratic vote you could in texas and i just think we'd be

00:30:02.540 so much better off if a republican and democratic candidate were competing over texas and by the

00:30:05.980 way new york even if new york is definitely going to vote more for democrats a republican

00:30:10.940 candidate would have to come to new york and states from alaska to rhode island so it's small

00:30:18.780 states too they get ignored now would finally be part of this competition so yeah electoral college

00:30:23.980 for sure. Supreme Court needs to change. What would you do to the Supreme Court?

00:30:29.600 I would have term limits, more justices, and some process that makes it less partisan who

00:30:36.180 the justices are. Some different ways to do that. The one I think is most interesting is called a

00:30:40.660 balanced bench proposal. We have a mix. But anyway, the point is it needs to change.

00:30:46.440 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run. Then Dale tried to console

00:30:52.180 us with the quote, winning isn't everything. Well, Dale and I are very different. I get early

00:31:29.800 oh my god i'm like miming back here i'm like um okay so marcella i'll just let you take this one

00:31:41.440 first um first of all did it not feel like those two were like on a first date like a romantic

00:31:47.140 little date? I hope not. He just got married. Unfortunately, he just got married. I'm in love

00:31:57.420 with Steve Barlin. Anyways, so in regards to what he said, Buttigieg, I always have a problem

00:32:04.840 pronouncing his name, but what he said, he's completely wrong. He's actually wrong about why

00:32:10.960 he so mentioning Alaska mentioning the small states they would not matter in if you're just

00:32:18.960 counting how many votes there are like popular vote in a presidential election like if you're

00:32:25.880 just counting population and votes then you would only count the major cities they would you know

00:32:32.600 the Alaska the New Hampshire you know the Vermont's they would not matter like what he's saying is like

00:32:39.660 the opposite of the truth um i don't know why there was no and what's the opposite of the truth

00:32:46.340 marcella a lie he's lying he knows he knows all this well he knows why the constitution has the

00:32:56.440 electoral college he knows why we have lifetime appointments in the supreme court he knows why

00:33:01.540 all these things were put in the constitution and he's lying about it he's portraying it in

00:33:06.860 a different light and with a different argument, completely ignoring it. And he knows that he's in

00:33:12.000 a place where no one's going to push back. No one's going to say, what about this? What about

00:33:15.760 that? Why did they do it this way? Or, you know, let's explain the rationale of why the founding

00:33:19.740 fathers set it up this way. There are very good reasons why we have the Electoral College, and it

00:33:24.140 is specifically to prevent the things that he's claiming is the problem. By having the Electoral

00:33:30.540 College, you're giving more weight to the smaller states that have less population, so they can't be

00:33:35.540 ignored as much and you're you're not allowing these big cities to be the only focus of the

00:33:40.340 election which is what would happen under a popular vote system and they knew that in the

00:33:44.480 founding fathers they knew that they had to balance the rural populations and the city populations for

00:33:50.900 it to work and so that's why they put in the electoral college the way they did and they knew

00:33:56.180 that the supreme court had to be independent and not be subject to having a politician keep

00:34:01.540 replacing him all the time. And I'm sure this balanced whatever he's talking about is just a

00:34:06.240 way to make every justice be more Democrat-like and more liberal and more, you know, it's like

00:34:12.600 ranked choice voting that does the same thing. It's like, it sounds reasonable. It sounds like

00:34:17.600 we're going to have a bunch of moderates on the Supreme Court and it's all going to be fair. But

00:34:21.200 in reality, it just pushes everything to the left. And he knows that and he's just trying to put a

00:34:26.260 good face on it. Well, I actually don't know if he knows that, but in regards to the Supreme Court,

00:34:30.960 he can't do what he says he's going to do that's in the uh why supreme court justices have no term

00:34:37.220 limits that's because it's in the constitution article three it says as long as uh she'll hold

00:34:43.800 their office during good behavior which is any time like unless they have bad behavior so

00:34:49.140 i don't know if well i don't know how he just seems very ignorant you know i think he's just

00:34:58.980 lying he knows i mean we all he's not a camera though like there's two there's different types

00:35:04.400 of democrats there's the camera lying type he's just better at it he worked for mckinsey okay

00:35:11.220 so that means to me he is very smart academically at least and he doesn't necessarily have common

00:35:16.740 sense but he he does know things like academically he understands it intellectually and he is lying

00:35:24.200 about it he's he's lying about he knows all these things and he's just telling the lie to push the

00:35:30.800 agenda and someone at mckenzie is can be very good at that telling a story in a way that sounds really

00:35:37.100 smart but is a complete lie and is not going to lead you down a good path and he doesn't hear

00:35:44.060 what's that is he a lawyer i don't think he's a lawyer i don't i don't think so he's a politician

00:35:51.240 South Bend, Indiana for a while. And he wasn't even a very good one. And he didn't really

00:35:56.720 accomplish anything when he was there, even as mayor of a city. And he was at McKinsey for a

00:36:02.320 while, which again, I worked in consulting. So I know what that's like. I also would say I've

00:36:06.200 interacted with some McKinsey consultants and they are a weird breed, but like they speak a

00:36:10.660 different language than most people. And they just do things very differently than almost any other

00:36:15.620 consulting firm that I've ever been part of. And I've been part of several. And it's just like,

00:36:20.300 you know this is this like ivory tower intellectual thing that they just have their own way of

00:36:27.000 thinking and their own way of speaking and um they might come across as very polished and very smart

00:36:32.160 but it doesn't mean they're giving you good advice it's one of those things marcella like when you

00:36:36.780 say you know someone's leaking something or saying something for the benefit of other people that's

00:36:42.660 what buddha judge is doing he's saying you know oh you know the electoral college isn't fair like

00:36:48.400 let's just do the popular vote and he just wants to rile people up that don't know why there's an

00:36:53.760 electoral college um so people are like yeah yeah just do the popular vote it's just pissing people

00:36:59.220 off um because every every everybody who's thought about whether we should have the popular vote or

00:37:06.100 not has had to have looked into why we don't um and it was genius to put an electoral college

00:37:13.220 otherwise nobody has uh a say in this world except for people in cities um so marcella

00:37:20.060 do you have to go because i don't want to cut you off like mid-sentence no i i'll go at 740

00:37:25.480 okay go ahead so so we'll carry on on this peep he has um i guess he's married right he has cute

00:37:31.760 little kids anyways yep married cute little kids um he's not a communist so i mean i don't know i

00:37:42.580 don't know who he is because everybody's married to a man by the way yes he's married to a man

00:37:47.560 okay um also kamala uh heard her sorry i had to hear her but she also wants to put 13 judges

00:37:56.680 on the supreme court uh she's all into that uh something else she said she's doing like a hard

00:38:03.820 pivot to the left she's still deciding if she's gonna run or not she is the front runner right

00:38:09.100 now if she does. Um, and Newsom is in second and mayor Pete is in third. So if we were voting today,

00:38:17.840 that's the top three. I don't know. So anyway, um, all right, so I'm going to move on to,

00:38:25.640 uh, here's another amazing thing with our boy, mom, Donnie. Do I have to give him more respect

00:38:33.440 mayor, our boy, Mayor Mondani. Here is an interesting little clip that came out,

00:38:40.560 and then we'll react. China. The New York Post reporting, quote,

00:38:45.760 members of Mondani's DSA pledged to support and defend China. The pledge says, quote,

00:38:51.740 survival of Chinese socialism is a crucial matter. Socialists' other promises, government

00:38:57.220 SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, FREE COLLEGE,

00:38:59.680 MEDICARE FOR ALL, AND A SHORTER

00:39:01.700 WORKWEEK, AND ABOLISHING ICE.

00:39:04.580 AMONG OTHER THINGS, HUGH HEWITT,

00:39:05.980 HOST OF THE HUGH HEWITT SHOW AND

00:39:07.200 FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.

00:39:08.420 HUGH, WELCOME TO YOU.

00:39:09.700 GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON THIS MORNING.

00:39:11.380 NOW THEY'RE CALLING TO SUPPORT

00:39:12.700 AND DEFEND CHINA.

00:39:13.880 HOW IS IT THAT THIS GROUP,

00:39:16.580 DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS, ARE GETTING

00:39:18.560 THIS KIND OF SUPPORT?

00:39:19.840 THIS NEW CNN POLL, I'LL PUT IT UP

00:39:21.300 ON THE SCREEN, SHOWS THAT A THIRD

00:39:23.320 OF DEMOCRATS NOW IDENTIFY AS

00:39:26.300 democrat socialist so why are they with china because they're not socialists or communists

00:39:33.300 i mean duh um so now we've talked about abolishing the police abolishing ice abolishing the electoral

00:39:40.460 college um we know that they want to abolish um congress and uh the pentagon and what was the

00:39:50.300 other one i just heard it's amazing but it's we're just going to abolish it all um marcella do you

00:39:56.140 to speak on this real quick before you run i mean i i i know the fear of all of this it's kind of

00:40:05.740 hard to hear all these things but i think it's a gift to the republicans that they have these

00:40:10.700 people running in the democratic party because that means you know it's like do you want to be

00:40:16.540 in a gulag in a working camp or do you want to pay high prices at the store so i don't know but i i

00:40:25.500 I just think that what they want to do, it's not possible to do unless you take up arms

00:40:33.380 and completely control your citizenship, your citizenry, for them to actually do this because

00:40:41.660 they would have to do amendments for everything.

00:40:43.480 I mean, and how do you abolish the Senate, the this, the that?

00:40:46.040 You can only do it through arm control.

00:40:49.540 And the thing about America different than any other country, well, the most countries

00:40:54.000 that I know is the second amendment and the majority of people have guns and how are you

00:41:01.360 gonna, are we gonna do Australia version where we, they, they, they gather the weapons and

00:41:08.100 take them away from us that would, yeah, yeah, that wouldn't work. That wouldn't work because

00:41:12.700 you would create a civil war again. So, I mean, they have it coming like the, there's no way that

00:41:21.620 that will ever happen in america i do i do wonder though tread on me i think that's exactly what

00:41:28.200 would happen i think they want civil war yeah but would that's what i was going to say oh and i do

00:41:32.480 wonder if it came to that would the people that are i don't know how to say it but like america

00:41:39.300 first love this country want to defend it and fight for it would you actually pick up a gun

00:41:43.720 and who are you shooting who are you shooting you're shooting the communist but like so the

00:41:49.940 It's like, you know, Salvador, I had a civil war that you would shoot the communists, basically.

00:41:54.820 The civil war was like that.

00:41:56.560 Like we were all thinking about it from this frame of, OK, it's the Constitution that's viable.

00:42:01.160 Like you can't you know, you can't do these things.

00:42:03.280 And under our current system, that's the case.

00:42:04.800 But if you think like a communist or a socialist, you're thinking, OK, we got to overthrow that.

00:42:09.740 They want to get power.

00:42:10.920 So then they can say, OK, now we've got control of the military and we've got control of all the weapons and we've got control of all the things.

00:42:16.580 And then they're just going to say the Constitution is not valid.

00:42:18.560 it's racist it's whatever and we're not going to follow that anymore and you know by the way

00:42:23.200 the supreme court that doesn't exist anymore we have this new thing now i mean that there'd be

00:42:27.760 nothing but i don't i don't think people just um sit down and let that happen i mean i agree you

00:42:34.400 know yeah but i i think they would love to have the chaos of a civil war and they would probably

00:42:39.440 point to it and say well look here's all these violent people and we gotta crack down on them now

00:42:44.160 And then they would send the military after him.

00:42:49.220 I mean, you have to think like a communist.

00:42:50.860 You have to think like a radical that wants to overthrow the government because that's what they want to do.

00:42:56.320 Oh, I agree.

00:42:57.220 I agree.

00:42:57.620 Hold on before I go.

00:43:00.140 So Elon was told that the sorry, I'm skipping, but it has to do with Mandami.

00:43:06.860 He's like, what is it? Documentarists, somebody named Eric.

00:43:13.620 Oh, my gosh, this this day is like Ho-Wa-Gim, which O-V-A-G-I-M.

00:43:23.200 Anyways, him. He had said that that Elon is a target.

00:43:30.140 that he's a viable target uh military target against elon um what did he say he's a valid

00:43:37.020 military target that's what he said and then elon replied in regards to that that news story

00:43:43.420 he says if they come after me i will come after them and finish the job so that's all of us if

00:43:50.060 they come after us we'll come after them we'll finish the job like don't yeah i don't think they

00:43:56.140 understand the patriotism of this country the the even in the left like some of the democrats are

00:44:05.700 not going to be like oh yeah get rid of the constitution no so i really i really have hope

00:44:12.380 for this country and i hope it doesn't turn into a stop and i have to go to a stop after it starts

00:44:17.020 into a sovereign so i hope to marcella i hope to um yeah and you know i i think there are a lot of

00:44:26.620 patriots but the the problem not trying to be a naysayer is that we've been flooded with people

00:44:33.060 who don't like this country and would like to see it fall so you know the odds the the odds are not

00:44:40.440 as fair as they used to be we weren't dealing with just americans we're now dealing with an

00:44:44.500 influx of people who are criminals who came here that just want to see it fall and they want to

00:44:49.480 take it over. And we are the biggest target. I mean, when you think about it, Russia, China,

00:44:55.740 all of, well, look around, look around the streets, look at all the protests and riots.

00:44:59.320 Like they're all coming for us. Like they're not in their own countries fighting, they're here.

00:45:03.560 And they've all made promises to hang their flag on our White House. So, you know, we're,

00:45:09.540 we're like just sitting here taking it. I feel like right now, I don't see, I don't see any big

00:45:14.240 mass deportation. I don't see, I don't really want to hear anything at this point, except for

00:45:21.580 them telling us, here's how we're getting everyone out. I want the judges to fall in line. Like we

00:45:26.540 need to save our country at this point. So I don't want to fight in the street. I just, I want the

00:45:31.260 laws that we have and what our constitution says to be what the laws of the land are, and it's not

00:45:37.800 happening. So I see why the constitution comes into play as questionable because we're not taking

00:45:44.020 care of what we're supposed to be doing as it is now so that's my fear i don't know i would just

00:45:52.120 say and i'm not an expert like at all the history but look at how socialists and communists have

00:45:56.540 taken control of countries yeah look at how that happened it wasn't through saying we're going to

00:46:01.060 amend the constitution it was it was basically like we're going to just throw that all away

00:46:06.580 we're a new government now and you're going to follow this now and we have all the military

00:46:09.960 power and we're just going to take control and i i don't think you you can't think of it in those

00:46:15.720 terms like you know you can't think of it like oh well they can't do any of that because the

00:46:19.380 constitution like they're not going to care about any of that they want to take as much power as

00:46:23.560 they can to keep us from having the power and us from having people who can stop them and they're

00:46:28.300 going to defund the police why would they want to defund the police because the police are a problem

00:46:31.720 to what they want to do and yeah all of it like they it's like they're trying every way they can

00:46:37.580 think of to degrade the system and to get rid of the order that exists today. And a civil war would

00:46:44.440 serve their purposes great because it would say, look at all the chaos. The system isn't working.

00:46:48.820 We need a better system. And then they would propose to take control and become the tyrant.

00:46:53.560 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run. Then Dale tried to console

00:47:40.940 They just overthrow.

00:47:42.320 They just take over.

00:47:43.900 And I mean, now we're putting Islamists in police positions.

00:47:47.940 They're in political positions of power.

00:47:51.000 You know, we're infiltrated that way.

00:47:53.520 You know, God, we really took a left turn today.

00:47:55.820 But, you know, when you start talking about what the Democrats are doing now,

00:47:59.000 the Communist Party, you have to get real about this stuff.

00:48:02.200 I was going to play, and I'm going to direct you to, and I will share it, a documentary that Nate Friedman did about the Islamic takeover of just Dearborn, Michigan alone.

00:48:13.180 And what Dearborn, Michigan has turned into is not even a shred familiar of what America looks like.

00:48:20.360 There's no American-looking people or stores or businesses.

00:48:25.040 It is unrecognizable in Michigan.

00:48:29.700 This is happening fast now, you guys.

00:48:32.060 Like, it used to be slow, and you'd be like, oh, a little hijab here, a hijab there.

00:48:36.760 Well, now they're everywhere.

00:48:39.040 So, you know, when you have politicians putting into place, like, we won't accept Sharia law as something valid in our state.

00:48:47.480 Like, what has happened?

00:48:49.300 So this is no longer slow.

00:48:51.240 It's not a slow-moving disaster.

00:48:53.260 It's a disaster, and it's here.

00:48:56.260 So I guess we can't help but take a left turn when we talk about this stuff.

00:49:00.260 um i do want to play unless owen or marcella want to say anything more on that bit no i just have to

00:49:08.520 go so love you marcella thank you for staying long okay be good see you tomorrow good luck

00:49:14.100 um so owen you know i just i i do want to give like a shred of hope because this made me feel

00:49:22.180 better today the one thing that made me feel better is this clip about elon well number one

00:49:29.040 think about where we were this time last summer. Elon Musk was mad at the president, mad at the

00:49:33.940 party, and was threatening to start another political party. Now he's going to spend $100

00:49:37.960 million for the Republicans. Thank God, because he was an integral part of the Republicans winning

00:49:42.960 in 2024, and the party needs him. And he's going to be better off, I think, with Republicans

00:49:48.320 than Democrats for the rest of his life. But, you know, it's interesting. When I interviewed Elon

00:49:53.080 for the book that I wrote about President Trump's first 100 days in office, I could tell then,

00:49:58.000 and this was last year, that he was kind of bent out of shape with both parties in Washington.

00:50:01.620 He didn't think there were enough people in Washington who shared his concerns about the national debt,

00:50:07.260 the immigration crisis, you know, the looming, what he thinks is maybe a bankruptcy crisis

00:50:11.980 for the United States of America when you consider $40 trillion in debt.

00:50:15.380 So I can understand why, if you're disappointed with everybody,

00:50:18.800 you wouldn't want to spend much money on politics.

00:50:20.540 But for right now, given the stakes of this election and given the fact that Western civilization is on the ballot,

00:50:26.180 and I know how much he cares about that.

00:50:28.320 I'm glad to see him come to the Republican Party.

00:50:30.640 Oh, I like how Caitlin Collins,

00:50:34.340 oh, I muted you, Owen, sorry,

00:50:37.020 chuckles at that,

00:50:38.360 like Western civilization is not in peril.

00:50:41.580 But Elon, once again,

00:50:43.980 I mean, he is so America first.

00:50:48.300 I can't thank him enough.

00:50:51.540 I buy his stocks.

00:50:52.560 I've got my I love Elon hat.

00:50:54.540 I don't know what else to do.

00:50:56.180 I subscribe to him on X.

00:50:57.880 I just, you know, the man single handedly is saving us from so much heartache and peril.

00:51:06.040 And, you know, if anyone has an issue with him, just get over it because we'd be toast

00:51:11.440 without him.

00:51:12.880 Well, I think it's great all the things he's doing.

00:51:15.060 And I do think he's a unique individual in the sense that, you know, as a mega billionaire

00:51:20.040 or whatever, there aren't obviously that many of them, but like most billionaires are going

00:51:24.200 out and buying a super yacht and like living it up on whatever they want and they they're trying

00:51:30.560 to figure out how to make even more money and being jealous of elon because he's at the top

00:51:34.040 of the stack at the moment or whatever and um if you just step back and look at all the things

00:51:39.560 elon's doing he's just trying to save humanity like that like everything he's doing is kind of

00:51:44.360 like okay i want to get us to mars because maybe the planet won't be here for us forever but let's

00:51:48.960 other planet and he's like you know let's give everybody internet access even the rural people

00:51:54.520 and let's have robots so that people can you know have something in their house to help them with

00:52:00.300 everything and let's you know have one place on x where people can actually have free speech and

00:52:05.500 let's have a truth-seeking ai that isn't just you know by us one way and not the other way

00:52:10.820 and just across the board it seems like everything he's doing with all that money

00:52:14.980 is trying to help humanity.

00:52:17.980 And I think it's just a stark difference

00:52:19.620 from most other rich people

00:52:20.900 who are just out for themselves

00:52:22.180 and don't really care about other people

00:52:24.780 and are just serving their own interests all the time.

00:52:28.540 And I don't know what it is about him

00:52:30.000 that makes him that way,

00:52:31.080 but I certainly do appreciate that he's there

00:52:32.920 and he's fighting for us.

00:52:34.480 He's so special.

00:52:36.040 He's such a special human being.

00:52:38.220 And oh my God,

00:52:39.800 like I literally could get emotional

00:52:41.600 just saying that he's so special

00:52:43.120 because I just, I don't know, there's something about him, like when you hear about his story of

00:52:47.900 his childhood, I mean, you guys, it was brutal. His life was brutal. And he just, I don't know,

00:52:56.800 he just, not to sound corny, but he has a purpose-driven life and he doesn't stop. And thank

00:53:02.760 God, you know, thank you to his parents for having him. And thank you to Elon for sacrificing so much

00:53:10.360 for the good of all i mean talk about be useful could you be any more useful so i would say though

00:53:16.560 is that like they came after elon first like that you know the the biden administration came after

00:53:22.320 him and pretty much forced him to say i need to support the republicans because they're going to

00:53:26.500 put me out of business otherwise and they're going to shut down everything i'm trying to do

00:53:29.540 and um he used to be a very liberal guy essentially like he was the electronic electric car guy and he

00:53:36.240 was trying to put in solar panels and like all the stuff that you would think are very liberal

00:53:40.300 sorts of things to do um and i don't know exactly where he was politically early on but i'm sure it

00:53:46.820 probably was more on the liberal side until they came after him and until his daughter became trans

00:53:51.240 and like all this stuff where he's like okay this is outrageous like you can't just let this stuff

00:53:57.400 happen and so you know they created this elon yeah yeah they pushed him into it he's like the hulk

00:54:05.440 yeah like they pushed him too far he started turning green and he's like that's it i'm buying

00:54:11.040 twitter i'm saving the world i'm throwing my money and i'll be at madison square garden at

00:54:15.240 the rallies and i don't give a shit anymore what you say about me i mean he was pretty private i

00:54:20.420 mean like he had like a interesting public persona but he was kind of private about things but now

00:54:26.100 he's just like this is who i am this is where we're at you know just let's go and you know when

00:54:31.900 they say, you know, when Owen's saying like, you know, or someone in the comments that they stole

00:54:36.800 his son, his son is trans now and it's heartbreaking for him. And, you know, I think most of us

00:54:44.940 realize besides it being a mental illness, it was a trend. Trans was a trend and kids were locked

00:54:50.940 down during a fricking fake pandemic to just try to control whatever they wanted to control or

00:54:58.500 depopulate or whatever you want to think about it. And his son got caught up in it and his son's

00:55:04.740 mother just went along with it. And as his father, he had no say in it, which is crazy. And, um,

00:55:12.320 yeah, so it, you know, it, he's been through a lot and even through everything he's been through,

00:55:17.620 he could just quietly work and do what he wants to do. He could not work. He could retire, but

00:55:22.040 he's like, no, like I, you know, I care enough about humanity and sanity and the world and he

00:55:28.520 carries on. So. And I will say there's some parallels to Scott. I mean, you know, Scott,

00:55:33.380 it didn't want to have his own biological kids, but he decided to take on, you know, these adopted

00:55:38.220 kids with these women he was with. And, um, he took that role very seriously as a father and was,

00:55:44.480 you know, devastated when his son overdosed on fentanyl and that became a cause for him. And,

00:55:49.820 And, you know, he fought very hard against China as a result.

00:55:53.460 And I think that's the same sort of thing.

00:55:54.880 It's like if you come after somebody that has that kind of power and skill and ability, they're going to come back.

00:56:00.320 They're going to they're going to push back.

00:56:01.860 And that's consistent with what Elon just said today.

00:56:04.820 Like, if you come after me, I'm going to come after you and I'm going to finish the job.

00:56:07.780 Like, you know, I posted something like don't go after somebody that is building a robot army.

00:56:12.840 And seriously, be careful who you target here.

00:56:17.180 And can then jet off the planet if he wants to. Yeah, exactly. So on locals, people are just posted a picture of Elon's son who now goes by Vivian. So it's sad, you know, it's sad because I feel so bad, even with like, I'm not diving into this topic, but even with abortion, you know, that like the would be father of the baby doesn't have a say either.

00:56:41.560 So I feel sad for parents that don't have a say in their children's lives.

00:56:46.360 It's just heartbreaking.

00:56:48.360 And mothers, whoever it is.

00:56:50.080 But, you know, parents should be parents.

00:56:52.540 And I think that is for some reason.

00:56:53.960 I saw a story that Planned Parenthood apparently is saying that abortion is now considered gender-affirming care.

00:56:59.980 I'm like, what?

00:57:02.420 How does that make any sense?

00:57:04.460 I'm so tired.

00:57:05.500 I swear to God.

00:57:06.480 I need to go to bed.

00:57:07.900 It's time for a nap.

00:57:08.760 Thank God.

00:57:09.240 we have four minutes left just enough time to go to sleep um so with that being said uh i don't

00:57:16.200 really have time to get into a new story and we might as well wrap it up you guys but tomorrow

00:57:22.620 the home team will be back and you know let's let's pray for michigan today they have a primary

00:57:29.220 vote and they have a bunch of freaking lunatics running um please please if you're not following

00:57:36.060 Nate Friedman. If anyone can drop Nate Friedman's handle in the chat for everybody,

00:57:41.660 please follow him. And he has posted his documentary about the Islamic takeover of

00:57:48.140 Dearborn, Michigan for free on his X channel. It's 20 minutes. Just give it a watch and just

00:57:54.040 understand, again, this is not a slow moving disaster. The disaster is here. And if we can

00:58:00.640 do anything to stave it off, change it, make it go away. We have to do it. Thank you. Thanks for

00:58:09.280 posting his handle there. You know what bookish people have asked if Nate Friedman or Nick Shirley

00:58:15.240 could come on. There's no need for them to come on. The point being is that they have so much

00:58:20.260 material out there for us to watch and see, and they don't need to come talk to us personally.

00:58:25.780 um they're more effective when they're out in the world and and doing the things they do so

00:58:31.520 sometimes it's just better not to do that gad sad again one day when he writes his next book i'm sure

00:58:38.200 he's going to come on too um but anyway you guys let's go have a great day today and um elon thinks

00:58:46.240 outside the stocks yes he does uh let's say oh and thanks for being here today and to marcella

00:58:53.540 and to all of you. And oh yes, you guys, everyone's going to come on again. I promise. But summer is

00:59:00.760 definitely a weird time to ask people to come on. They all have summer schedules, but everyone will

00:59:06.200 be on again. Keep our fingers crossed. Okay. And you know I'm at there. If those of you that heard

00:59:11.040 Dr. Drew the other day, we had an extra credit live stream and he said, Erica is a force. And

00:59:19.800 he's just like, if you ever were going to contribute on this show, she'll make sure you

00:59:23.540 get on here. I am, I'm such a pain in the ass, you guys. So I promise we will have all of our

00:59:27.600 guests. Okay. All right. So as always, thank you to Scott and Shelly for allowing this show to

00:59:33.400 continue. Um, and let's go out there, be useful today, you guys. And if you want to cure a song,

00:59:39.560 I'll stay and do one. And let's have a closing sip to our, uh, beloved Scott Adams, who we miss

00:59:46.440 so much. And we wish you were here to guide us, but, but we're here together trying to figure

00:59:50.980 it out. All right, you guys, to Scott. Love you guys. Yeah. Be useful. Be useful. All right. I

01:00:01.760 added a new one. I messaged Akira. I'm like, do I have all of them in here? Let's see if it made it

01:00:07.980 over how to program reality you guys let's go all right i gotta go bye

01:00:19.100 let me show you my path toward figuring out the user interface it's important that you know how

01:00:41.440 I got there so that you could have some trust that there's something to it when I was a kid

01:00:47.860 I was influenced as was my mother by the book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent

01:00:53.240 Peale. They suggested that you could somehow change your life or maybe you were changing

01:00:59.120 reality if you could simply think positively. Think positively. Think positively. Think

01:01:12.580 positively. So this was my first introduction to the concept that maybe reality was not

01:01:20.580 fixed and something that you were a victim of, but rather you could do something. There

01:01:26.540 was some mechanism, some technique, some tools you could use to give some control over your

01:01:33.060 environment and your life, as opposed to having to control you.

01:01:42.580 and that was my first thought that reality could be programmable in at least some simple sense

01:01:49.540 but of course i embarked on a lifetime of exploration to find out if i could find out

01:01:57.060 more about how to program reality think positively think positively think positively

01:02:05.180 how to program reality think positively think positively think positively to learn meditation

01:02:14.100 i became a trained hypnotist of course mushrooms let you see the world in a completely different

01:02:20.680 reality and all of these things from studying all the different religions to doing affirmations

01:02:26.680 which is really just visualizing what you want and writing it down every day visualizing what

01:02:32.060 And then learning persuasion, these all have the same cumulative effect of teaching me

01:02:38.880 that reality was indeed far more subjective than you're led to believe.

01:02:47.900 And when I say reality is subjective, I don't mean that there isn't some base reality that's

01:02:53.840 real.

01:02:54.920 What I mean is that we don't have access to it.

01:02:57.500 in other words you just take religion

01:03:01.580 two people with completely different religions can go into a store they can shop they can get

01:03:08.060 married have children they don't really need to reconcile the fact that they live in different

01:03:12.500 worlds one thinks there's an afterlife one thinks there's reincarnation one thinks there's nothing

01:03:18.840 and yet we we all survive and thrive and reproduce

01:03:22.320 there's nothing to suggest that our brains are the kind of brains that can understand reality

01:03:30.780 instead all of the evidence suggests that we can put filters optionally and somewhat subjectively

01:03:38.780 on our reality and the thing that we deal with is a filter we're not dealing with the underlying

01:03:43.960 reality but our filter on it is the thing that's real to us and you can change those filters so

01:03:49.900 that's the important part and you can change them fairly easily and if you find a filter that

01:03:56.180 predicts better and makes you happier well that's the better filter even if it isn't a better

01:04:02.140 approximation of reality what matters is you're happy what matters is getting what you need out

01:04:07.860 of life think positively think positively think positively how to program reality

01:04:16.080 Think positively

01:04:17.660 Think positively

01:04:19.460 Think positively

01:04:21.280 Program reality

01:04:23.180 You can change those filters

01:04:25.100 Change those filters

01:04:26.980 Change those filters

01:04:28.720 How to program reality

01:04:30.360 Think positively

01:04:32.040 Think positively

01:04:33.820 Think positively

01:04:46.080 So once you accept that there's a subjective reality, you're starting to get ready to accept

01:04:56.540 the user interface for that reality.

01:05:08.520 Oh, that could be my new favorite. That was so chill. Loved the little

01:05:14.660 Oh, so good. All right, you guys, let's think positively. We can change whatever our beliefs

01:05:22.940 are whenever we want. I just remember someone saying to me, if you don't like the players on

01:05:28.420 the field, get new players. So if you don't like the way something's going, change those things,

01:05:34.400 sub them out, put in something better, and run with it any time you need to. We can do it.

01:05:40.380 all right, you guys, I'm going to go. Stella has been meowing at me for a solid 10 minutes.

01:05:45.740 So I'm going to go feed her a little skinny hiney and, um, I'm going to have a great Tuesday. Are

01:05:51.760 you guys going to have a great Tuesday? Let's do it. Let's do it. I love you guys. All right.

01:05:56.760 So we'll be back tomorrow with the home team. See you then. Oh, you're welcome, William. I love

01:06:05.360 them too. They're great. Akira is great. He has more songs coming too, by the way. So that's good

01:06:11.300 to know. Oh, we have lots of surprises in the, in the pipeline for you guys. I cannot wait to

01:06:15.900 tell you all of them. Okay. Bye guys. Love you. Bye Jim, Courtney. Peace and God bless to you,

01:06:22.140 Nero. Bye EJ. Bye Terry.
