00:14:26.440mm-hmm did they explain why no they want to win they literally voted no
00:14:38.040i mean i just like i i have no words left for the blatant insanity that's happening
00:14:46.320it does seem like the democrats are just being very blatant about
00:14:50.360you know just we're gonna do what is best for us we're gonna do
00:14:55.140whatever gives us power. We're going to do whatever we have to. And it doesn't matter
00:14:59.780even if it does look bad like this, where it's like, how can you vote against that? Or how can
00:15:04.720you like, what? Huh? And they don't seem to care. They don't seem to care about the optics. They
00:15:11.080just want what they want. I know Michelle Tafoya is running in Minnesota and for a Republican,1.00
00:15:19.360she's doing really well. I really hope she wins. I think she would be great, but they need some
00:15:23.340very, very strong new leadership, Republican leadership in Minnesota. I mean, between all
00:15:30.720the Somali stuff, all the illegal immigration, um, wasn't that in Minnesota where Don Lemon
00:15:38.640stormed a church with a bunch of activists? Um, I think that was also in Minnesota. I mean,
00:15:43.820they have a lot of problems there. So I don't know, you know, everywhere you turn, right.
00:15:50.760It's like this whole DSA thing, the cheating stuff that the Democrats are no longer Democrats.
00:15:56.900I mean, they're just like the worst of the worst of the country.0.92
00:16:01.240So there was something recently where the Muslim Brotherhood is funding a massive effort to take over our government and they're just coming right out and saying it.1.00
00:16:11.640And let's let's take it to the way back machine.0.94
00:16:46.080Are the Muslim Brotherhoods considered a terrorist organization?
00:16:49.520i think so yeah but i don't know why are they allowing them to difference i don't think being0.98
00:16:55.300a domestic terrorist organization matters there's no legal impact to being that there is right so
00:17:01.080is my cat saying that too yeah um i don't know but i i mean i they apparently the muslim brotherhood
00:17:10.000apparently contributed $315,000 to this abdul el sayed guy that recently won his primary i think
00:17:18.000And apparently they're putting together a nationwide plan to have a war chest of $140 million a year to get Muslim and other Islamic-friendly candidates into government.
00:18:59.640Like, what happens when people are in pain?
00:19:03.360And I think that part of what we have to understand is that sometimes when we move, we create so much collateral damage because too often we have been on the wrong side of our own policies.
00:19:19.400That's not ever to say that terrorism is okay because it's wrong, it's never okay, and you have to address it when it happens.
00:19:27.660But I think we have to make sure that when we say that there's a rules-based international order,
00:19:35.380that we are the principal follower of the rules, not just the principal enforcer of the rules.
00:19:40.280And I think too often, you know, one of the things that I do bring to this is my whole life,
00:19:47.560I've been forced to explain who I am to people, my whole life, right?
00:19:50.860Oftentimes, even in my own family, right?
00:19:52.960Because I have experiences that most people in my family don't have.
00:21:22.740Hit play on the upside ticker talk and elevate your ETF investing IQ.
00:21:45.860Okay. So, Owen, I'm going to let you react to this first. And by the way, I'm sure those four
00:21:53.760people were riveted, but go ahead. Well, I mean, honestly, I would say like,
00:21:59.720I think he probably is doing a good job persuasion-wise with that sort of line of
00:22:04.280thinking. And it sounds very common sense or empathetic or whatever. But in reality,
00:22:13.180you have to look at what's behind that what he's really trying to do and what he would do if he
00:22:17.420got into office and the reality is we all know that he would be trying to put in more islamic
00:22:24.680influence in america and trying to convert us over to sharia law and all these other things and he
00:22:30.480may never say that because he knows that wouldn't be a popular thing to say but um what he's saying
00:22:36.180now is the type of thing that would maybe appeal to voters and just try and get him into office
00:22:40.860And then suddenly you'll find out what he's really about. And so that's where I think we need to be really careful. And, but I think, you know, I, I think he's also conflating different issues when he tries to connect, oh, well, there's terrorism and terrorism bad, but, you know, what made him do it? It's our fault.
00:23:00.820And I think, you know, to me, those are two separate things.
00:23:06.240And I think you can have separate opinions about them, but I don't think you should put them together.
00:23:09.800Like on the surface, I kind of agree with them, frankly.
00:23:13.720Like, I don't think we should be as involved in other parts of the world.
00:23:17.160And I think when we have been, we've ended up creating more terrorists, essentially, as an outcome.
00:23:21.760And not intentionally, but when we go in and just like knock over Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi and all these other people,
00:23:28.360we usually end up leaving a bigger mess than what was there when we started and so i don't think we
00:23:32.600should be doing those things but at the same time i don't think we should have any sympathy for the
00:23:36.520terrorists and we shouldn't be saying oh well we we can't just you know we can't just think about the
00:23:42.360the terrorism terrorism we we have to think about our problem our role in it like no we don't we
00:23:49.480don't think about those things we we don't have to think about those things even if we did do
00:23:53.480what i consider the wrong thing in the past it doesn't excuse what they're doing now and it
00:23:57.880It doesn't excuse trying to put people in Congress that hate America and want us all
00:28:53.040Just outright lying. I mean, number one, of course, people are trying to push Sharia law.0.92
00:28:58.760I mean, there's been efforts, especially in Texas and Michigan and other places where they've tried to have their own Sharia courts.
00:29:05.480And they're doing things like the female genital mutilation and honor killings and all kinds of things that are abhorrent and illegal.0.78
00:29:12.240And they are part of Sharia law. And so, number one, my response to that would have been like it's incompatible with American law.
00:29:21.460and it has nothing to do with christian teachings or christian law that's not what the american law
00:29:27.920is about it may have some foundations in principle with christian teachings or with you know christian
00:29:36.060principles i i would admit that but the there's nothing in there that says in our law that says
00:29:43.120you know these are christian things and we're gonna enforce them by the whatever he's calling
00:29:48.080canon law which i've never heard of by the way i've never heard of anything called canon law
00:29:52.160and i i don't know of anything that is any like i i don't know of anything outside of just
00:30:00.520practicing your faith that would even be considered a christian law like you you're you're asked to
00:30:05.620you know attend church on sunday and you know jews have their you know sabbath thing too but
00:30:13.660there's nothing there's nothing that would run afoul of american law and i don't think it's
00:30:21.620because it's enshrined in that law either there's nothing about any of those christian things that
00:30:25.540are in our law so everything he said is a lie and um i think he's just trying to twist it into
00:30:32.900saying oh right you know like it's islamophobia or it's you know you're you're coming after us
00:30:38.280because we're different well by the way you know if if the differences you're talking about are
00:30:42.400things like honor killings and female genital mutilation and other things that are illegal to
00:30:46.940do here, then yeah, I have a problem with it. I mean, that's the part of Sharia law that I have1.00
00:30:53.300a problem with. I don't care if you pray five times a day, but I do care if you have loud1.00
00:30:57.280speakers in my city that are telling everybody to pray five times a day. And I do care if you're
00:31:03.060trying to convert everyone to Islam. And if you think everyone who doesn't convert to Islam should0.87
00:31:07.240be killed, which is part of Sharia law. So there's a lot of lies in there. Yeah. I mean,0.80
00:31:14.960once you understand what Sharia law is, you realize, I don't give a shit if you're calling0.99
00:31:20.220me phobic. I want to stay alive. I want to live free. I want my country to remain the country0.99
00:31:26.740it was built to be. And no, you're not going to convert America into some Islam0.97
00:31:36.600Mecca. It's just not going to freaking happen. So, um, Marcella, your thoughts on the Jesse
00:31:42.860Waters interview for that part. Anyway, I just hope, uh, Jesse, you know, asked him what Owen
00:31:50.440said, like, maybe you are not wanting us to be under Sharia, but there's definitely, um,
00:31:58.100different imams that want us under Sharia law. The same with, with any type of, there shouldn't0.97
00:32:04.440be any religion connected to to the law and if it goes against the law it's still outlawed you know
00:32:11.920like uh owen described um so i wish somebody would ask him and then see what he says
00:32:19.440he's so good at looking like you know he's he's he he's smiling he's dressed the right way
00:32:28.280you know that's that's the people don't go beyond that like people aren't going um so that's the
00:32:35.100problem he is um he's like that grandma and uh little red writing hood oh i'm your grandma like
00:32:43.660he's just pretending to be something or he himself has deluded himself to think okay nothing is behind
00:32:51.040me that's gonna cause this i represented christian churches before in regards to certain litigation
00:32:58.180they are he is right they are um certain christian you know all all kind of churches they have their
00:33:05.140own um how would i say rules that they can have um that another employer would not have
00:33:14.180um where like a regular employer would not be able to do x y and c but because they have freedom
00:33:21.780of religion and certain things that they can practice they're allowed to do certain certain
00:33:26.620things within their church. Um, and I had to litigate the issue and that's how I got involved
00:33:32.800in, in understanding that there's a certain, um, corporate things that, um, for example,
00:33:40.160I'll give you an example in, for Christian churches, you can discriminate and only hire
00:33:45.960Christians, um, and actually put it into the, in California, you can actually put that into your,
00:33:52.680uh you're seeking employment you can put that if you're not part of whatever uh church it is
00:34:00.200then you won't be able to get the job i didn't understand until i have to litigate and represent
00:34:06.120them and so he is right there is a little bit of freedom there is these kind of things that are
00:34:12.680allowed in in the united states but maybe they need to be looked at further because like owen
00:34:19.320said if it goes against way like uh against the law what you're actually doing it's no longer
00:34:26.280practicing your religion it's actually a crime of what you're doing so interesting um so
00:34:36.040you know it is just interesting because i feel i feel i'm feeling like it's like that abigail
00:34:43.640Spamburger effect, you know, where now it's just the playbook is, and actually there was just a
00:34:49.460clip of somebody saying this, uh, to some of the DSA people. I think it was a DSA meeting. I mean,
00:34:58.740I don't know if that's like such a thing, but they were just like, basically just lie, say what you
00:35:03.120ever you have to say to get in. And then we do the things we want to do. Unfortunately, that's
00:35:08.040the direction politics seems to be going now. So, you know, so we, like we have Rupar's,
00:35:15.480I think we have Spambergers now, you know, so it's just like, she just lied and lied and lied,
00:35:20.540got in and on day one reverse course, and she has a very unhappy state now with what,0.96
00:35:26.800you know, what she's doing. And I think that that's what's happening here at the DSA too.
00:35:32.200I mean, like AOC the other day saying like, Oh, woke one was crazy. And, you know, we talked
00:35:37.140about that at length. And to me, the only thing left that she just didn't say out loud was like,
00:35:42.340wait till you see woke two. Like, I don't think she thought woke one was crazy and it should stop.
00:35:47.820I think what she was saying was if you think woke one was crazy, woke two is geared up so much
00:35:54.300bigger and she can see the takeover happening. You can see the shift of people going to the
00:36:00.960socialist party. And again, like we say, I don't blame them. You know, they're unhappy,
00:36:07.520they're broke, they're desperate. A lot of these young, younger people, and they're just like,
00:36:12.480well, maybe they do have all the answers and I'm going to give that a try. It's going to be
00:36:16.800unfortunate, but I understand that mindset, Owen. I would just warn everyone, just don't
00:36:22.500underestimate these people because they are persuasive and AOC is very smart and she's
00:36:28.500using a lot of the persuasion techniques that scott taught us i mean even just what you just
00:36:32.160said is something i could easily see coming out of scott's mouth like oh that was a rough draft
00:36:37.280you know the next version is going to be great and american debunk has done a great job and i'd love
00:36:42.300to have him on the show to talk about this at some point but um like he's done a great job breaking
00:36:47.180it down and pointing out all the persuasion techniques she's using but i mean that when
00:36:51.620you say like you know oh it's what one and this is woke two it's kind of like scott saying you
00:36:56.180just test messaging you know you test different ideas and you just keep refining and you see what
00:37:01.560resonates with people and and then you adjust and you just try things until something clicks
00:37:06.360and i think that's exactly what they're doing is they're just trying to find the messaging that'll
00:37:10.400work to get them into power and then they'll do whatever they want when they're in power but and
00:37:15.540and that part is you know political tradition in this country frankly to some extent i mean i do
00:37:19.820think it's getting more extreme and more blatant where they just literally flip a switch as soon
00:37:24.740I get into office and say, well, now we're doing this. But I think, you know, I've said in the
00:37:30.020past, I think Trump, in my opinion, is one of the only presidents in my lifetime that actually tried
00:37:34.880to do everything he set out to do in his campaign. And I won't give him 100% on that, but I will say
00:37:41.22080 to 90%, he's tried to deliver exactly what he promised in this campaign. Whereas almost every
00:37:47.460other president I've ever seen in my lifetime has not even, in my opinion, tried to do that.
00:37:52.580they they've said things you know bush was famously criticized for saying no new taxes and then he had
00:37:58.500new taxes and they're like left and right you could just come up with president and example
00:38:03.500after example of where they just you know do whatever they want when they're in office and
00:38:08.900it's almost like the campaign never happened but i do think it's a lot more blatant and it's a lot
00:38:14.020more extreme and i think that's one of the big problems is it's not like just oh i'm doing a
00:38:18.800little bit of different stuff on tax policy. It's more like, you know, I'm going to totally
00:38:22.980fundamentally change the system, get rid of the Senate, get rid of the Supreme Court. Like all,
00:38:27.680you know, they're basically ready to destroy the country. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I don't, I don't think,
00:38:34.800you know, I don't think people care that are desperate. Like they're just like, well,
00:38:40.320I don't care what they do as long as they're going to help me. And unfortunately that that's
00:38:44.300sometimes as far as people can see, right? Marcella, like, they're just like, well, how,
00:38:50.040how does my life become affected? Like, I don't know what else they're doing, but they said
00:38:54.500they're going to freeze rent and they're going to do this and do that and free grocery stores. And,
00:38:58.960you know, so I don't know. I just feel like desperate times for people.
00:39:04.280People are going to fall for it. Yeah. They're going to fall for it. I don't know how, you know,
00:39:10.220missing Charlie Kirk and his reach for the for the younger generations is going to be really
00:39:18.160I think it's going to be really obvious this go around without him reaching out I mean he
00:39:23.000it's not Turning Point USA is not Turning Point USA anymore I mean Charlie was out there at the
00:39:28.060campuses and just doing so many videos and talking to so many younger kids and just really getting a
00:39:35.180positive message out whether he agreed with the people talking to him or not it was like
00:39:40.180could understand what he was saying and where he's coming from and i don't know who is doing
00:39:45.140that now i don't think anybody um so they would be afraid to do it right because what happened to
00:39:51.300him right i mean i think it was scary for him because he was so effective and you know there's
00:39:56.740no one there's no one like that right now if there is who is it because we need to even if
00:40:01.780they just started making videos and talking more but they have to really get out to college campuses
00:40:06.420I really think we are all Charlie, but the thing is, do we all want to like put our lives on the line? Because that's the, I think they wanted to do an anti-Islam protest in California somewhere. I don't remember where. And the guy got assaulted. And the, I mean, I don't agree with the guy himself because he's kind of controversial, but he got, but nobody should have
00:40:36.400assault you for your own free speech, but he got blue paint throwing at him and, and, you know,
00:40:43.040he could have lost his life. Who knows? So that's, that's the, that's where we're going.
00:40:49.000Yeah, it is. I wish, I wish someone could fill his shoes, but he had very big shoes and a proven
00:40:55.600track record and just had a magic way of speaking to people. Like he just had such a gift and
00:41:02.220probably was a future president. So I don't know, UZH, Charlie and American Debunk have very
00:41:11.040different things. Debunk will debunk. It takes one subject at a time where Charlie's just like,
00:41:16.080what's bothering you? Like, let's talk about it. They're just different, very different modes. I
00:41:20.680mean, I think I see American Debunk right now, at least focusing a little bit like Scott Adams,
00:41:25.960where he's sort of interpreting what's happening and explaining what's happening and helping to
00:41:31.580identify persuasion techniques and things like that and I think he's doing an excellent job but
00:41:35.960it's a very different thing than what Charlie Kirk was doing. Charlie Kirk was you know I would say
00:41:40.520an activist like he was trying to make a difference he was trying to speak to people that didn't agree
00:41:44.860with him he was trying to get through to kids that were being indoctrinated in the place they're
00:41:50.080being indoctrinated and that's just a very different function and I wouldn't recommend
00:41:55.040anybody try and take that on necessarily because you are taking your life into your hands but
00:42:00.160But I do think if more of us speak the truth, that it will make a difference.
00:42:05.880I mean, because just as Scott taught us, you know, all these inputs that you put out in
00:42:09.560the world do have an impact and we all have a voice.
00:42:13.020And if you call out bad things and more importantly, in my opinion, put out the better ideas.
00:42:19.080I think that's the most important thing is if you can say, here's the better path.
00:42:23.000And that's what I try to do with my kids.
00:42:24.620So like, you know, this is what you should focus on.
00:42:26.780get a job get a good living you know focus on building your own future don't worry about all
00:42:33.120this politics stuff and certainly don't try and you know get like government to take care of you
00:42:39.320because that never works out well and so anytime they stray from the path I'll put them back on
00:42:44.720the path but for the most part I've done that their whole lives so I don't have too much of
00:42:48.760an issue with that but you know I have two good people that we raised so but I think everybody
00:42:53.740needs to do the same with their kids and anyone else they interact with and try and reach these
00:42:57.820people and reach them where they are but tell them here's here's the good path for you because
00:43:02.260if you can paint a good future for them and say if you do these things the you know just like
00:43:07.340scott did like you know with the talent stack and all the things that would make you successful his
00:43:12.460whole book how to you know how to fail at them so everything and still win big is a great example
00:43:17.060where it's like if you just follow these formulas you're gonna do great and almost anybody would
00:43:22.160do great if they just followed those lessons that he taught us. And so I think the more we can spread
00:43:28.020that kind of message, the better we're going to do politically, frankly. But, you know, I don't
00:43:32.020even think of that as the most important thing. I just think it's, you know, making a better future
00:43:37.200for ourselves and for the people around us is all about sharing those ideas and giving people a good
00:43:42.520path to follow. Want to talk ETS with the people behind them? Join me. It's Yen-Jean Cabouchard on

00:44:50.260vance um i think a lot of the new stuff a lot of the prager you stuff is geared towards that
00:44:57.300nick shirley i mean he is the uh person that would go but is nick sending a message to kids
00:45:04.260he's actually finding corruption he's i'm thinking i think he is i think some of the things that maybe
00:45:10.900don't make it to x like in his youtube channel like where he's speaking and you've you've uh
00:45:16.340played some of it when he's speaking to uh different leftists and you played that girl
00:45:22.260video of like he was like what are you saying so he does speak to the opposing side he hasn't
00:45:27.540done it as much because he's so busy now with the fraud stuff yeah but i think he has that capability
00:45:33.780of um opening himself up to going to the other side and speaking to them i think he did that
00:45:42.500before um in new york i think as well yeah i i love um crank one i love gad sad but i don't know that
00:45:53.300the younger people he's very um what's the word academic and i don't know if they're gonna like
00:46:02.340I think they need someone to talk plainly like Charlie did. But I mean, Gadsad's got amazing
00:46:10.020messages. I just wish there was somebody. I mean, I wish so much, but I'd love to just know,
00:46:17.100like, okay, I have friends whose kids are entering college now, and I'd love to be able to say they
00:46:23.340should really listen to this person or have them check out this podcast. Gads isn't hip enough.
00:46:30.320hey he's hip for us though alien baby we love him um so if you guys have any ideas like you know
00:46:35.920drop them at my ex and i love to compile a list of either podcasts or influencers that just have
00:46:43.760like a positive message um you know anti-socialism and uh and marxism obviously so just any good i
00:46:56.080I mean, in terms of resources, I would still say like PragerU is a great one.
00:47:00.100They have lots of videos and they're geared exactly to that audience.
00:47:03.200Another one would be Hillsdale College has a lot of free online courses and things you can take.
00:47:07.940So anybody who's interested, you can get them interested.
00:47:10.920I think those are really good resources and information and it gives you, you know, historical context.
00:47:17.680And like I'm looking on their page right now, they have some things on Christianity.
00:47:22.220They have some things on American citizenship and its decline and, you know, some, a lot
00:47:28.520of different things that are historical focused, but they have things about the constitution.
00:47:33.420So there's plenty of resources out there for people who want to learn these things.
00:47:36.980I think that's the challenge, in my opinion, is getting people interested in these things
00:47:40.380because most people aren't going to dive down those paths.
00:47:42.960But PragerU is probably better for shorter videos and, you know, little lessons, because
00:47:47.740i think that's how they've done it is to just like have a five or ten minute video on something
00:47:52.420right but i think that's that's the other thing i would point to okay well that's good to know so
00:47:58.300we can we'll check that out and you guys again just workshop it if you if you know people doesn't
00:48:03.840you know just send it along let's take a look and see if we can help put it out there um i was gonna
00:48:09.980say you know i'm thinking i i've been thinking about king randall so much lately um you know
00:48:16.800I mean, he's great with the young kids, but we need like that King Randall energy, like someone
00:48:21.520who's just so common sense. I just love that. Um, and who'd you say, let me just see Riley Gaines,
00:48:29.160Sophie Cunningham. Yeah, they're, they're great for the women for sure. Poso, Cerno.0.99
00:48:36.360I mean, I don't know that Poso. Yes. Cerno is a little bit more, uh, he could be scary if you
00:48:45.500don't know what you're thinking yet. Um, so yeah, just somebody that's got that, that personality
00:48:51.720that you feel comfortable with. You don't feel threatened by, but yeah, Gaines and Randall. Yeah.
00:48:57.040So, all right. So send us some links. All right. So Marcella, I wanted to ask you, um,
00:49:03.660you found a story for the midterms that we're going to put a lot more poll watchers in. I think
00:49:11.700they said, what, a thousand poll watchers? Is that enough? Is it going to help? And is it
00:49:16.600in certain areas? Yeah. I mean, that sounds like a little bit of not enough. This is led by
00:49:26.120Assistant Attorney General Hartmut Dillon. The monitors will watch discrimination,
00:49:33.360intimidation, language barriers, disability issues, and potential water fraud exceeding
00:49:40.080prior deployments of 280. So in the prior, prior years, there's only been 289 people deployed
00:49:48.420to monitor in 2022. And in 2024, there was 714 people. She's made it to be a thousand federal
00:49:58.400election monitors for the midterms. So I guess in the scheme of everything, it's a lot more than
00:50:05.620before. And they will heavily recruit from federal employee volunteers to do civil rights
00:50:13.260division staffing shortage. They can't really do all of it. I imagine when she says volunteers
00:50:19.140and election monitors, most of them will be attorneys. So to watch the law being handled
00:50:26.040in the right way, and it does cost money to get a thousand attorneys. But I guess it's mostly
00:50:31.800volunteer. So, right. So, well, all right. So that's one thing. And then, Oh, and wasn't there
00:50:38.640like a recent SCOTUS victory we could say for, um, it was for mail-in voting, which I'm so
00:50:47.320against mail-in voting. You guys bet like ballots just getting sent to homes and people are getting
00:50:52.540multiple ballots and people that used to live in the house that are no longer there. And in
00:50:56.740Minnesota, you can be dead and get a ballot. So, um, what, what's the victory about?
00:51:03.600Yeah. So, um, the, there's an executive order that Trump put out about essentially the postal
00:51:11.300service only delivering mail-in ballots to people on a list of people who are eligible to vote.
00:51:17.720And so, you know, some States right now have kind of blanket, we're just going to send balance to
00:51:23.160everybody type of things. And so I think that that's been going through the courts. And I think
00:51:29.120a judge blocked that plan and Trump appealed that to the Supreme Court on procedural grounds
00:51:38.300and they won. So I think that opens up the possibility that we will have better
00:51:44.380election integrity and election security around mail-in ballots. But I think it's probably not
00:51:50.540done yet in terms of like being challenged legally and all that but i think the idea behind it is
00:51:56.860that we would the postal service would have a list of who's actually eligible to vote which is you
00:52:02.060know includes being a citizen of course and um then they would only deliver mail-in ballots to
00:52:07.580people on that list so they wouldn't be sending mail-in ballots to people who shouldn't get them
00:52:12.540basically so if it works out and we can actually implement it then you know that is a big win um
00:52:19.740but i think we need to see how it plays out the rest of this time and we don't have that much time
00:52:24.860i mean it's already the end of august and november's right around the corner so i don't even
00:52:29.740know if there's enough time to implement all this stuff but you know we'll have to see how it goes
00:52:34.460marcella what's your take on the whole scotus stuff the so basically what what uh trump wants
00:52:42.620to do it with his executive order is only have citizens, as we know, vote because that's only
00:52:51.060people that should be voting. But the thing is, the way that the Supreme Court decided this,
00:52:56.540they decided that basically when he, when Owen said procedural, what they meant is that it's
00:53:03.100not ready for it. There's no damage by those 23 states have not shown any kind of damage. So they
00:53:08.580have no standing to bring this lawsuit. However, they will have standing once the post office,
00:53:15.200which is what they're doing now, is going to create a rule. So basically executive order
00:53:20.860right now, then the post office has to implement the rule of it can only be delivered to citizens
00:53:27.800and here's the voting rule. So once that happens, they can again sue and again stay the case,
00:53:34.580the the situation so um it it what happened today does to me legally it's just a delay
00:53:42.540it's just a delay yeah it doesn't mean it it doesn't mean that the court itself has decided
00:53:48.600the underlying issue of whether president trump can do this at all so and there's so many like
00:53:58.560they can always claim okay now that they did this rule now we're damaged because x y and z
00:54:05.800and then the court will go no you're not damaged yet so then they go again and so yeah and then
00:54:13.080and like owen was saying i don't think uh that it's sufficient time for the midterms to do all
00:54:20.120this um so we'll see but the main thing i think we need to look for is that you know the
00:54:27.380presidential election in 2028 well by then we should have a decision a full decision on all
00:54:33.700this wow things move so slowly don't they it's just like whoa it's very hard to get things done
00:54:40.860and then we have presidents for four-year terms and it's just like by the time they get to the
00:54:46.400end of their term the next person comes in and does everything i think the american people just
00:54:51.500had it and it would be just so amazing if people could just focus on america and you know how we
00:54:58.920got here and who this country is and just work together to do the best thing for americans but
00:55:06.620we're so far from that now it's just it's a it's a shame because it this is such a great country
00:55:12.360and um i'm you know i'm afraid for it if we don't start to getting back to just the basics and
00:55:18.520the politicians really i mean today's dilbert cartoon the one where um dog bird has a senator
00:55:27.440and it's like you know now what are you gonna do and it's like i'm gonna oh if you didn't see it
00:55:32.180i can't explain i could never just explain a dilbert comic but go look at at today's because
00:55:36.840it is so perfect it explains our our political system and just how fake and corrupt the whole
00:55:44.160thing is. So it's a shame that it's come to that. OK, so one last thing we wanted to get in,
00:55:51.040Marcella, we just have a couple of minutes, but Scott Bessent was talking. I have a clip. Do you
00:55:57.540want me to play the clip? It's OK. This is called Operation Outcast. And on Monday, Secretary
00:56:04.100Treasury Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, a U.S. plan to isolate the
00:59:57.220Yeah, I mean, I think this probably will have an impact, and it has already in terms of sanctions.
01:00:02.780You know, I just saw in the story I posted today about this, that when Trump was elected to a second term, the real, which is their currency, was $700,000.
01:00:13.160And it's been in a free fall ever since.
01:00:15.120It's lost 65% of its value in two years.
