00:04:36.920 Okay, let's go. I was like, what? Listen to this. So, Victor David Hansen, our wise sage man,

00:04:45.940 you know, I mean, the ladies love him. Okay. So he was on the after party with Emily

00:04:53.640 Jashinsky. That's another podcast called the after party different from Owen space is called

00:04:58.880 the after party, but check out this little tidbit he dropped on us. And you can see it in California.

00:05:05.700 Almost every week there's somebody who's arrested for, uh, acquiring technology or sending things

00:05:13.220 back to China. And, you know, Fang Fang was a Chinese. She wasn't at the consul's office in 0.58

00:05:21.600 San Francisco. I wrote a critical article about Japan. The next thing I know, she called me up.

00:05:27.660 I didn't know who she was. Are you serious? Yes. About eight, ten years. Showed up at my office.

00:05:32.360 Something warned me about her. And my assistant was there. I said, you better stay here. So he

00:05:37.980 and i were there she came in with tight levi's boots to her knees low-cut blouse with a very 1.00

00:05:45.900 thick chinese fake accent i think she went to cal state headwear and was screaming at me about what 0.88

00:05:52.020 i wrote about japan and then wanted to know if i want a gift from her tea set and would i go out

00:05:59.280 to a very expensive restaurant with her that night and i said no and then she's changed to her about

00:06:04.620 a valley girl accent hey man you guys are weak man you let us walk over obama doesn't even know

00:06:11.980 man that kind so they're everywhere and i 0.98

00:06:16.900 fang fang tried to get her fang fangs into vdh but he was too sly for her isn't that crazy of

00:06:26.660 course swallow fell for goldie yeah and it's a common thing in in silicon valley that i think

00:06:33.320 there was a i don't know who said it you guys but somebody said if if she's a 10 she said she's an

00:06:38.520 agent or something like that um if she's asking you out like there's a lot of i my brother and

00:06:46.520 my sister live up there and uh yeah there's a lot of questionable relationships that you look at and

00:06:53.160 it's like hmm you wonder i mean honestly no shade on anyone in particular i won't even name names

00:07:00.540 But when you see some of these politicians and their leaked footage of their videotaped romps with people, you're like, oh, like, you guys really think you're studs?

00:07:11.320 I mean, stop it now.

00:07:13.460 Yeah.

00:07:14.320 But Swalwell, he fell for everything.

00:07:17.680 And I just love it. 0.70

00:07:19.720 I was like, ooh, VDH, dropping the T on the little fangster. 1.00

00:07:24.340 What else does she call? 1.00

00:07:26.040 That's the other question.

00:07:28.140 Of course.

00:07:29.020 Did she call you in the chat?

00:07:31.480 Maybe.

00:07:32.440 Did she call Mike Burt?

00:07:34.080 Mike Burt wouldn't fall for that.

00:07:35.560 He's too specific.

00:07:37.700 Sean would fall for it.

00:07:39.760 Sorry, Sean.

00:07:40.480 He would know better.

00:07:41.080 He would know better, but he'd still go out with her.

00:07:44.880 Oh, my goodness.

00:07:46.120 So that was just interesting when I heard that.

00:07:48.120 I was like, oh, my gosh, BDH.

00:07:50.340 Okay, so on to more serious news, you guys.

00:07:53.380 Once again, we're going to give you an Iran update, okay?

00:07:57.520 So we'll give it a shot. We'll see if we can parse out what's happened since yesterday.

00:08:03.880 And of course, we go to Trey Yings. Now, why do I go to Trey Yings? He seems to have the most

00:08:09.840 comprehensive updates of all the networks, you guys. So if anyone's like, why is she picking

00:08:15.640 Fox News? I'm just picking the clearest, most concise clip I can find for all of you that we

00:08:22.360 can talk about. So let's turn it over to our buddy, Trey. Reports indicate President Trump

00:08:27.700 will hold a meeting with golf leaders on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly later

00:08:32.480 this month to discuss the war with Iran. We do know this comes after President Trump said on

00:08:37.760 Wednesday he hopes the war will end soon, adding that Iran wants to make a deal.

00:08:43.420 Well, hopefully we're toward the end of the war. They want to make a deal. We'll see how that works

00:08:49.120 out there very much wanting to make Iran is very much wanting to make a deal we'll see how that

00:08:53.440 works sources tell Fox News that a US contracted vessel was hit with an Iranian projectile earlier

00:08:59.940 this week causing minor injuries to some on board the president maintains a variety of military

00:09:04.960 options if Iran continues attacks around the Strait of Hormuz and earlier this week Fox News

00:09:09.740 visited the USS George Washington that is currently operating against Iran in the Arabian Sea we got

00:09:15.400 first-hand look at the weaponry on board that vessel. What you're looking at right now is a GBU-31

00:09:22.420 Victor 4 Bunker Buster Bomb. We are in one of the magazines on the USS George Washington,

00:09:29.360 and you can see a variety of weaponry here, including missiles and different bombs.

00:09:35.180 These are the ordinances that are attached to the F-35s and F-18s that take off from that flight 0.79

00:09:41.860 THE BOMBS THAT ARE OUT HERE 1.00

00:09:43.420 AND MAKING SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND 1.00

00:09:45.300 THEIR STRIK DECK THAT WE SAW

00:09:46.600 EARLIER. 0.98

00:09:47.500 A DIFFERENT VARIETY OF BOMBS 0.90

00:09:49.540 HERE AT THE END.

00:09:50.840 THESE ARE 2000 POUND BOMBS.

00:09:52.480 AGAIN, ALL OF THIS TO BE USED

00:09:54.620 IF THE PRESIDENT ORDERS

00:09:55.840 ADDITIONAL STRIKES AGAINST THE

00:09:57.600 IRANIAN REGIME.

00:09:58.840 IT'S A LARGE EFFORT TO 0.81

00:10:00.580 ORCHESTRATE AND PARTICULARLY

00:10:01.820 FOR THE BLOCKADE MISSION IT'S

00:10:03.620 ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY OF ALL THE

00:10:04.860 VESSELS THAT ARE OUT HERE AND

00:10:06.480 MAKING SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND

00:10:08.180 WHO IS DOING WHAT AND GOING

00:10:09.560 WHERE. 0.99

00:10:10.360 the strait of hormones both in and out we're providing overwatch for those those transits

00:10:15.800 and defending them actively when necessary so they can go through unimpeded 0.98

00:10:22.520 with a focus on iran the country's proxy forces in yemen the houthis are ramping up attacks

00:10:27.080 against yemeni government forces and neighboring saudi arabia expanding yet another front in this

00:10:32.600 war okay so my first question is uh first of all shout out to our military first because i mean

00:10:42.680 my brother was in the navy i have a lot of family that were in different uh branches of the services

00:10:47.940 and um you know i think about the drones and the missiles and the bombs and like i just i would

00:10:54.500 feel like a sitting duck sitting on a ship that's just sitting in one place like that and i know

00:11:00.360 that we have technology but man that's scary um so marcella my question is when because they

00:11:07.060 haven't done this before but when trey went beneath and showed all of the missiles and bombs

00:11:13.120 did that feel like propaganda to you because they talk about our depleted weapons all the time like

00:11:20.200 do you think that was them showing like look we have stuff ready to go it felt weird i mean

00:11:24.840 everything's persuasion you're you're you're going forward yeah it it you know visual yeah

00:11:32.200 shows uh the weapons but it's also maybe a message to iran that hey we're armed then we're ready to

00:11:39.400 use it yeah um i don't think it was a message more to the u.s but more more to iran but i would say

00:11:46.760 like wouldn't they have to be careful what they show because if they show certain things well

00:11:53.160 you know it's known that the ship has these things so um i don't know propaganda

00:12:01.180 persuasion is one way persuasion propaganda but i mean i think you want to show your enemy like

00:12:07.920 if someone broke into your house and like you first do the cha-ching like in the in the

00:12:13.500 so they could hear in the sound but if that's not enough you show them that's usually enough

00:12:18.680 it should be run away um so so it's kind of like a deterrent i i think all right so the iran thing

00:12:28.120 just goes on i mean what's there to say they're like there's really nothing as iran turns as the

00:12:34.040 world turns is like a soap opera um you know it's it's somebody yesterday i don't know who put it in

00:12:40.200 the chat said this is a slow moving war slow moving disaster um but it's affecting americans

00:12:48.440 everyday americans uh for the cost of everything especially farmers and um even um airlines you

00:12:57.800 know for jet fuel they also use the same thing and diesel and all that and i think we're gonna talk

00:13:03.160 about it but but you know i i think iran knows it and they're gonna push something in october

00:13:12.440 um and they're they're aware of it that there's weakness there there's leverage there with

00:13:18.920 president trump so you know it's yeah he's on a unpopular footing but i don't think he cares

00:13:28.280 well he's out of here in two years so he's just like you know let me do the best i can

00:13:32.600 Let me just rephrase that.

00:13:37.940 It's not that he doesn't care about America.

00:13:39.920 It's just that he doesn't want to play into their, this is leverage hand.

00:13:45.340 Right.

00:13:45.800 And he's just like, listen, I'm not up for reelection.

00:13:49.120 Yes, the Republicans do need to win again.

00:13:52.520 And, you know, and he'll focus on that and push that hard.

00:13:55.100 but um as for his popularity personally i know normally he cares about that stuff but i don't

00:14:03.980 think right now he does because he knows he's going into lame duck territory so he's like you

00:14:10.100 know full steam ahead and just get things done um it is very important we win the midterm so i cannot

00:14:16.380 say it enough so i see jd out there a lot now talking um trump is you know doing as much as

00:14:24.180 he can do. I don't know where he gets the energy. I really don't. But I can't stress it enough.

00:14:30.520 The midterms are, you know, we always say it's the most important election, but it is so important 0.94

00:14:36.120 with these lunatics out there. I think I'm actually going to jump around a little bit 0.60

00:14:41.000 because speaking of lunatics and what's out there in the midterms, you guys, Texas, I don't even

00:14:48.580 know. I honestly, okay, this is my opinion holding up my sign, but I think Tallarico really needs to

00:14:56.080 be investigated because if you are watching this race between Tallarico and Paxton, every

00:15:04.440 question and answer with Tallarico is concerning. Like not, not that he's even running, but it's

00:15:11.680 just concerning that an adult male answers these questions the way he does. And we were laughing

00:15:19.780 at the Trump video the other day where he's like, first he doesn't eat meat, now he likes meat,

00:15:25.580 and now he's eating meat. And it's just like, yeah, he's like a vegan who's now eating meat,

00:15:30.460 who's driving a truck. But when you said, they asked him, what's the one thing that you think

00:15:35.760 about that's not related to politics? And he's like, trans kids. And you're like, what? And then

00:15:41.600 I just watched somebody ask him, who's your favorite drag queen in Texas? Okay. Now, first

00:15:49.900 of all, I don't have a favorite drag queen and I couldn't tell you the name of a drag queen in

00:15:55.320 New Jersey. Okay. I have no idea. I can tell you the names of a couple of drag queens. Do I have

00:16:02.420 a favorite? I don't, but he immediately answered who his favorite Dallas drag queen was. And then

00:16:09.580 when you looked into who that was, this queen is teaching nine-year-olds how to be drag queens.

00:16:17.120 And I'm just like, what is your fetish? So again, these are my opinions. But Marcella,

00:16:23.360 just off the bat, just out of the blue, do you have a concern about the way he answers questions

00:16:31.020 and the things he's... And also, did you hear him just say, we should treat everybody like

00:16:37.640 they're kindergartners because aren't we all at heart just kindergartners i'm like what it's really

00:16:45.880 freaky to me i don't know why they picked him to be you know to be a candidate for the democratic

00:16:54.220 party but it says a lot about the party that they had only this person in texas but you know

00:17:01.000 obviously he has support because he won the primary and is now going to you know the final

00:17:06.920 election so i'm wondering why texans have voted for him it was him or jazzy crockett and she lost

00:17:16.780 i would have voted for jazzy crockett she would have been better yes and she was already there

00:17:23.120 so i i don't know um i just think people just you know it's like they rolled the dice and it's like

00:17:31.620 oh let's try this person i'm like don't don't just try this person you know and i think if he

00:17:38.260 if he has liberal views keep your liberal views you know be live to it like if you really believe

00:17:45.300 drag queens should be everywhere you know say that but the thing is now he's trying to pivot

00:17:50.580 to the to the center and that to me is hypocritical if you're not really anywhere near the center 0.52

00:17:57.220 to me it's just like another you know who who are you then you're confused because you talk to the

00:18:03.800 drag queens and you're like oh i'm so for you and then he talks to the middle ground and he's like

00:18:08.200 i'm not for drag queens so he's all confused and stuff so i just like be who you are uh as honest

00:18:15.680 as possible and which is like well he's not counterintuitive to a politician yes no he's not

00:18:23.140 um here's a hidden video of his minister hidden video of his minister saying that his political

00:18:32.420 makeover is a lie and basically um he's gonna pull a spamburger so if you don't know abigail

00:18:39.780 spamburger lied to every constituent in virginia until she got elected former cia agent yes former 0.96

00:18:47.300 CIA agent lied. And then once she got in, she did a huge about face. And now Virginia's like, 1.00

00:18:54.140 oh my God, what do we do? So let's not Virginia, Texas, but look at this little hidden footage,

00:18:59.880 hidden footage, hidden footage video. Trump people are attacking Tallarica for saying

00:19:06.480 that God is non-binary. That's literally what he is. He went on Fox News and walked that back. 0.86

00:19:15.720 Thank you very much. Did you see that? Yeah, he's giving some advice that I don't think he should be following. Yeah, because that's why, frankly, something that attracted me to this church was like...

00:19:32.720 And I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was. Okay, but he has to kind of play this game.

00:19:40.660 Yes, that's what his campaign has convinced him of, is that the Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this.

00:19:51.960 And so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, or whatever days, or whatever days, I guess.

00:20:04.960 I think it's bad advice, personally, but if it helps him win, okay.

00:20:17.320 Really?

00:20:19.820 I mean, if it helps him win, I mean, Marcelo is-

00:20:23.900 Babs, come on, Babs, don't do that.

00:20:26.840 God, we don't need to lie.

00:20:28.400 This is bad.

00:20:29.660 I mean, everybody needs to see that in Texas, and of course he's full of it.

00:20:34.560 he can't, he can't make a decision. He's so inauthentic. He, I don't, Marcella, you just

00:20:41.400 take it for a minute. He, he, you know, you know, he's able to capture attention because of his

00:20:49.880 stance on a different, these were just so appalled that he could win Texas of any, of every place.

00:20:56.540 But, um, you know, part of it, I think is sorry, you guys in Texas, like a lot of Californians

00:21:02.320 have moved there um and they californians i guess haven't learned uh that the reason they left is

00:21:09.040 because of their own policies and politics and all sorts of things so and yikes you know yikes

00:21:18.160 so i think it's important you know you guys send that clip to people that you know in texas like

00:21:23.280 let them know i mean so she's like it's just for the next 50 weeks it's like oh he's just gonna

00:21:28.080 live for the next it's just a lit just to get him in there oh okay that's great and she's his

00:21:33.680 minister there you go yeah some people were saying in the chat that paxton is unpopular

00:21:39.840 regardless of what you think of paxton you know he's an actual politician that that that says

00:21:47.120 what he means you know and is going to you know he's not pivoting to the center he's not pivoting

00:21:52.880 anywhere. He's just, this is, he's been in politics for quite a while in Texas. So we know

00:21:58.820 where he's at, you know, this is an unknown. They'd be lucky to get Paxton. He's, he's really

00:22:04.280 good. You know, you don't like his personal life or whatever. It doesn't matter. You're not dating

00:22:09.660 him or marrying him. You don't have to invite him over for dinner. Um, but he knows how to work and

00:22:15.580 get things done and he's like Texas true and true and will fight for actually fight for like Texas

00:22:23.520 and their beliefs. So, you know, if you have to hold your nose, you shouldn't have to, but if you

00:22:28.420 have to, that's your guy right there. Um, in my opinion is Paxton. So, all right. So we have, um,

00:22:35.180 a bunch of other fun stories. So this one I'm categorizing as just for fun. I'm playing this

00:22:42.140 clip because it made me feel good. Ready? Dana, would you like to ask me questions and then let

00:22:48.220 me answer them? Or would you like to debate me on these topics? I noticed that when you had

00:22:53.500 Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that

00:22:58.220 you asked and you allowed them to answer the questions. I'm happy to be here to talk about

00:23:03.020 policy, but if you're going to interrupt me every single time that I open my mouth,

00:23:07.020 then why am I even doing this? So please ask a question. And I'd ask you to be polite enough

00:23:12.800 to let me answer it. Yes. Yeah, Dana. I just wanted to play that because I liked it. Did

00:23:19.880 you like that, Marcella? You know what? Her face seemed like she was back in grade school

00:23:28.040 and she was told she had detention. You know, like she took it seriously because I guess

00:23:34.360 jd's tone was like the vice president of the united states of america is telling me to just

00:23:39.900 like back off so she kind of uh had those eyes deer in the headlights kind of eyes really cool 0.94

00:23:46.560 i mean she is ridiculous it's like when you watch the difference so should we all do we've all been 0.75

00:23:52.180 trained by scott like just pay just pay attention and watch like their demeanor the way they deliver 0.96

00:23:57.160 like he said you ask the others multiple choice questions and basically fed them answers you know

00:24:03.420 it's just so funny. So I, I do like it when they, when they get razzed back. I don't think we do it

00:24:08.740 enough because he was respectful. So, you know, so one of the things is like, you want to like

00:24:14.280 be able to be sassy, but respectful. Yes. Today's lesson is be sassy and respectful,

00:24:21.040 and then it's perfect. So I love that. I just had to put that in there. Thank you

00:24:25.520 for your attention to this matter. I even wrote JD, Dana bash, just for fun.

00:24:33.420 Um, okay. So that was for me, you guys. Okay. So in a little bit more serious news, uh, Kevin

00:24:39.620 Warsh, the fed, uh, reserve chair. So Trump was, you know, could not wait to get rid of, um, what

00:24:47.260 was his name? I already forgot Powell. Too late Powell. Too late Powell. And now we have Kevin

00:24:52.060 Warsh in there. So, you know, part of us feel like maybe this was like, Oh, I have to do this.

00:24:58.060 So people don't think I'm, you know, a simp for Trump.

00:25:01.960 But also, you know, if that's why he did it, that would be messed up.

00:25:05.920 But I think he had a good reason for doing what he did.

00:25:08.820 What did he do?

00:25:10.000 He raised the rate, the interest rate, a quarter of a point.

00:25:15.320 But let's just take a look at what he says and why.

00:25:19.220 The decision we made today was the right decision.

00:25:22.000 The Fed's rate-setting committee voted unanimously today, 12 to zero, to hike interest rates for the first time in three years.

00:25:30.540 The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long.

00:25:36.520 The move is a bid to slow rising prices. It's also likely to anger Trump, who threatened to fire the last Fed chair over high rates.

00:25:46.440 We should be paying the lowest interest rate anywhere in the world.

00:25:50.400 Trump's new hand-picked Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, blamed what he called

00:25:55.540 Geopolitical landscape.

00:25:57.820 A euphemism for the prolonged war with Iran, which has driven the U.S. cost of diesel up from $367 a gallon in February to $631 a gallon today.

00:26:09.120 We're just getting to the point now there's nothing left to cut. You cannot run without fuel.

00:26:13.880 Matt Bell farms corn, soy, wheat and cattle on a thousand acres in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

00:26:20.400 so it's costing twice as much to run these machines but once we're done harvesting they

00:26:24.640 leave here on trucks the trucking has doubled on us also so it's hitting us on both ends of it and

00:26:30.080 you have to pay for that absolutely i can't pass that on bell voted for trump but says he and

00:26:35.440 fellow farmers now plan to send a message in the november elections we are in a position now we're

00:26:42.720 mad and we're ready to be heard something's got to give that's the environment trump is walking

00:26:49.680 into tonight here in ag heavy north carolina and yet gop senate hopeful michael whatley tells me

00:26:55.540 he's glad trump is here to campaign with him because it fires up the loyal base which could

00:27:00.920 be crucial in a swing state like this one tony nancy thank you well yeah so this goes to what

00:27:10.380 we were saying yesterday marcella so i was saying for example for for me for one of my businesses

00:27:15.660 So our fuel costs have doubled, right? And now I can't pass that on to our customers. Like that

00:27:23.900 just would be insanity. So, you know, he's saying as a farmer is costing me double to farm. And now

00:27:30.960 the trucking that takes what I farm and brings it somewhere has doubled for him also. Cause they're

00:27:36.900 like, well, if we're transporting your goods, you're kind of stuck. So you're going to have

00:27:40.360 pay us more money because it costs us more to do it so that's the problem so you know i i know we

00:27:46.440 want we want the war we want to win it and all of that stuff but it's a huge economic burden for

00:27:53.880 everybody in this country so marcella your thoughts i disagree with the feds completely

00:27:59.640 like yeah the fact that he gave that as a reason so if that was his reason to uh race rates you

00:28:07.480 you guys, then follows your racing rates is not going to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,

00:28:13.460 is not going to open Russian diesel to us. It's not going to make Gulf refineries. If the reason

00:28:20.500 that groceries and inflation have gone up is not because of inflation, it's because of the Iran war

00:28:27.500 and the diesel issue and oil issue overall. So them hiking up the interest rate creates

00:28:34.960 taxlation because taxlation would be less money in the market with a missing commodity which is

00:28:43.920 you know crude oil um so for them to do this because of that it makes absolutely no sense

00:28:52.720 um it's not the right move for the right like the move of increasing at a quarter uh will not

00:29:01.360 make a difference. It will just make it more expensive for everybody. So the reason you

00:29:09.040 usually increase interest rates, um, is because the increase of the interest rate will solve the

00:29:15.380 issue. It will not, it'll just make Trump lose the midterms, which is why he was upset, but it

00:29:22.460 was unanimous vote, uh, by the feds. But I mean, Hey, they're allegedly the experts, right? So

00:29:30.920 allegedly they should get you in there marcella you're like hey

00:29:34.720 but i mean they if nobody ever uh questioned um him at the press conference it's like okay

00:29:43.480 so you're saying that this is why you're worried um but you're increased in the interest rate do

00:29:50.020 not does not um unless you know it pushes trump to to find peace because his the rates are

00:29:58.140 increasing and there's a pressure political pressure on him but other than that there is no

00:30:03.840 um there's no relief in sight just because you increased the percentage right so i don't know

00:30:11.040 you can put it in the chat what you're thinking you you economist out in the chat um yeah i saw

00:30:18.340 somebody say that the market dipped after that but then it corrected today to where it was before

00:30:23.320 so that's good that's good um i haven't even checked the market at all you guys so you can

00:30:29.400 tell me how my tell me how my tesla stock's doing and spacex and all that um so we'll see

00:30:38.520 all your billions are doing yes yes all of them all of them um all right so when are you going

00:30:46.120 to do the crypto oh yeah we're gonna do it andy i know time has been eluding me but we'll do it

00:30:52.920 um okay so i found an interesting tidbit from mike roe who we love and you know i'm a huge advocate

00:31:03.080 of trades learning learning a trade learning a skill um you know for me it's like forget college

00:31:11.880 like we need people working now to keep the machine going and so this was interesting i i

00:31:17.800 just love people who are innovative and this is a guy his name is chris powers he's from australia

00:31:25.320 and he just he came to america like got a hotel room six thousand dollars and just started

00:31:32.200 cold calling um well you'll hear his story but he he just started doing some cold calling to

00:31:38.520 solve a problem and boy did he solve a problem but let's take a listen um i don't know how long

00:31:44.680 this is but we'll see you on the other side marcella you're gonna hear this for the first

00:31:48.280 time you're gonna love it here we go i think people really forget at the end of the day

00:31:53.880 that america is america because everyone's like a nutcase cowboy and kind of one of my framings

00:31:59.160 of america is just like it's still the wild west and we would just all wear suits now yeah i was

00:32:04.520 gonna ask about that jacket you got but you gotta you gotta remember like americans are incredibly

00:32:09.800 good at moving at light speed against problems only after they get punched in the face have we

00:32:15.320 been punched i think we've been scared enough that everyone's moving really fast which is honestly a

00:32:20.480 good thing because the system's now being tested and in a kind of peace time i think one of the

00:32:25.120 things you lose in in manufacturing is that people staring in front of computer screens i think it's

00:32:28.800 like a very unserious thing at the end of the day where people forget that we're here because there's

00:32:32.420 chips and there's machine tools and there's 3d printers and there's planes and missiles and

00:32:36.120 The outsourcing of that, I think, is a big reason why the culture is kind of fragmented

00:32:41.800 because your hands aren't dirty anymore.

00:32:43.920 We're disconnected.

00:32:44.960 You're disconnected, yeah. 1.00

00:32:46.260 How interesting that an Aussie is helping reconnect. 0.58

00:32:50.760 The best way to help Australia is to re-industrialize America.

00:32:53.520 This is the only chance we got. 1.00

00:32:54.980 If you said that down there to Ubers and the Shakers and the... 1.00

00:32:58.660 Yeah, they know. 1.00

00:32:59.840 Yeah?

00:33:00.140 They sometimes get a little bit grumpy with me.

00:33:02.740 Yeah, the best way to help the entirety of the West is to re-industrialize the country

00:33:05.700 that we have a resilient deterrence

00:33:07.200 and an economy that actually works for all Americans

00:33:09.660 instead of just the people who happen to live on the coasts

00:33:12.120 or got lucky.

00:33:12.980 Are you bullish? Are you optimistic?

00:33:14.880 I am scared to death.

00:33:17.020 I'm optimistic because the federal government

00:33:18.880 and everybody is moving in a direction now.

00:33:22.160 Everyone knows what's going on.

00:33:23.840 And I'm also optimistic because at the end of the day, 1.00

00:33:26.280 like, it's fucking America. 1.00

00:33:28.340 Like, it'll be fine. 1.00

00:33:29.860 You know, we were all in a direction very fast.

00:33:32.580 Two things are going to happen.

00:33:33.740 It's going to look like complete chaos.

00:33:35.700 there's no plan and it's going to get done

00:33:37.940 and now that everyone's fired up around this

00:33:40.300 like I genuinely think it'll be fine

00:33:41.960 now there's a lot, there's 10, there's a decade

00:33:44.280 at least of hard work to do here

00:33:45.700 and a lot of traps along the way

00:33:47.840 and a lot of bruised egos and bruised eyes

00:33:49.960 and we're getting after it now

00:33:51.420 as like a whole of nation vibe and effort

00:33:53.680 and at the end of the day like would you ever

00:33:55.940 ever bet against the average American

00:33:58.180 probably not

00:34:05.700 Oh, I love that. So what they're doing is just pulling kids right out of high school. I mean,

00:34:14.760 not out of high school, as soon as they're done with high school, instead of going to college,

00:34:19.500 they're like, come on, let's see, just work hard. I'm going to train you. This is what you can do

00:34:25.020 and solving problems. And so I love that because I mean, anyone could, if your motive is

00:34:32.800 fixing a problem, solving issues. I mean, Scott's whole mission was solving problems. I want to

00:34:39.760 solve problems. I want to help people solve problems by being useful. And of course he did

00:34:46.120 that and then some. So this guy was like, okay, where's the bottleneck in your factories? What's

00:34:52.000 the problem? What's holding you up? Because we do forget how many companies and jobs and automation

00:34:58.980 and and factories you need to build the things to make that one thing so you know i i don't know

00:35:06.480 marcel and this guy now i think he's like a i think he might be a billionaire status at this

00:35:11.480 point but crazy right i think yeah i think trades should be pushed from an earlier age than high

00:35:19.700 school um the idea is that when you're you know when you're most schools when you're in school

00:35:27.560 you're always told you know it's for you know your GPA to go to college or you know to get a

00:35:33.880 job outside but nobody ever kind of it's kind of like they got away from doing woodshop and

00:35:41.640 mechanical work some schools still do it and it's kind of interesting that they that education

00:35:50.100 hasn't pushed it instead of they push uh dei and all the other things you know um what is it

00:35:56.500 i forget what other yeah push historical justice or whatever they call it um

00:36:03.000 some whatever it is yeah um revision of history but um other countries do it differently where

00:36:11.400 you are um kind of you figure out what you're going to do really from like 12 years old

00:36:19.900 that you can't change from there. But it's kind of like, if you have a certain tendency

00:36:26.440 to want to build things, and don't want to just sit down and you're, you know, just write

00:36:31.480 or read, you know, they see that in you. And they like, ask your parents, okay, maybe

00:36:37.120 put them into this trade school, vocational, vocational school. In Germany, they do that.

00:36:45.620 you also have apprenticeships too. Once you graduate from the school, um, then you have to

00:36:51.580 go through a long apprenticeship where you do get paid, but you're sort of learning on the job,

00:36:57.700 um, you know, carpentry or, you know, building, um, different, uh, chips, uh, for not the ones

00:37:07.980 you eat but the ones for computer computer chips um different things that need um a trade but also

00:37:15.600 need um building besides like actual practice um and I think one of the things I could go on

00:37:24.600 tangents all day long but one of the things that I don't like about schools I used to teach

00:37:29.520 so I know that one of the things I don't like about schools is how and and maybe society as a

00:37:35.700 whole is like when they grab a kid and it's like, oh, the kid can't pay attention, can't sit down,

00:37:42.720 HD, HD, whatever HD. ADHD or ADHD. Yeah. And well, maybe that is because one, you're a boring

00:37:54.500 teacher and two, um, maybe their, their, their talent is in another type of, um, maybe not in

00:38:03.920 just sitting around and reading something you know um an office job for sort of speak but right um

00:38:12.120 use that talent stack talent stack it as we know scott loved talent stacks use that um skill or

00:38:21.540 ability or the ability to um play the ability to build is a different ability than the ability to

00:38:31.080 just like analyze uh economics or analyze law you know so the fact that you're pushed down

00:38:40.280 as a parent that has a kid that has these issues and you're told that there's a deficiency in them

00:38:47.700 but i could go on and then they drug them and blah blah blah oh yeah yeah so um i want to come

00:38:54.740 back to that too, Marcel, but I just wanted to see here. So it said his company Hadrian has scaled

00:39:01.800 rapidly to a multi-billion dollar valuation with facilities in California and Arizona,

00:39:07.820 achieving 10 time faster production and over 40% greater efficiency than traditional shops while

00:39:14.960 developing fast track training programs that prepare high school graduates and others for

00:39:19.220 manufacturing roles in a matter of weeks. So in a matter of weeks, you can get these kids up to

00:39:26.500 speed and they're off and running and now they've got a career. They're not in college bogged down

00:39:32.800 with debt for four years and indoctrination. They are, yeah, multi-billion valuation. So yeah,

00:39:39.480 so that's pretty good. And Marcella, you're right because back in the old days when I was in high

00:39:44.700 school. Um, yeah, I, I mean, back in the days when I took my horse to school, she's only 25.

00:39:53.720 Yes. Thank you. Um, you know, I am like a can't sit still type of person. I don't know if they

00:40:01.980 would have said like, Oh, she is ADD today because I mean, I don't have ADD and I don't have ADD or

00:40:09.600 ADHD. And I don't think half the kids that are diagnosed with it do. And I think they're just

00:40:14.720 kids and, um, and maybe their food is messing with them and change their diets, but that's a story

00:40:19.780 for another day. But, um, you know, the teachers would say to my parents, like, Oh, you know,

00:40:25.480 Erica can't pay attention. She doesn't pay attention. You know, she's wandering off. And 0.99

00:40:29.960 I'm like, yeah, you know what? Like looking back at it right now in this moment, thinking about it,

00:40:34.020 because I really never thought about it now as an adult. Yeah, I had a lot of thoughts in my head

00:40:40.520 and like someone would be talking about something and it would make me like think and start to

00:40:45.520 process things and whatever. And maybe that's a creative mind or a curious mind. It wasn't like

00:40:50.620 something bad. It's the way I learn and, you know, every kid learns in a different way.

00:40:56.200 so they used to make these vocations a negative so they would say to my parents you know she's

00:41:04.540 really she's really not like an academic she's not going to go far you know maybe you could put

00:41:09.280 her in um beauty school maybe just put her in beauty school and da da da da and by the way

00:41:15.320 my friends that are in this uh beauty industry are crushing it but anyway um and it was like

00:41:22.300 oh, because I don't think the way these kids sit here and learn, like, because I don't do it that

00:41:28.540 way. Like I should be pushed aside and, you know, like tell me I'm less than, and they would do the

00:41:34.840 same thing with the boys, like put them in auto mechanic class, you know, now that can be true

00:41:40.580 for a lot of people, um, that, you know, they, they would rather be working with their hands,

00:41:45.600 especially men men are more physical by nature um by biology so yeah but you know to put a stigma

00:41:54.000 on it or to say like because you're antsy yeah now you put so we've had this like multi-decades

00:42:01.760 long stigma on vocational jobs and i'm just here to tell you that those are our future millionaires

00:42:10.000 that take those jobs that get into those apprenticeships early that's your that's your

00:42:15.520 wealth that's your wealth coming down the pike so it's up to us to say like stop this stigma

00:42:22.080 of you know people wanting different experiences or having different interests i mean if

00:42:28.080 if you're sitting in college and like your goal in life ends up being that you're a mechanic or

00:42:33.040 a construction worker or whatever and you have been tortured sitting in college probably getting

00:42:38.560 bad grades. And now you're like wandering off, maybe you're partying too much or whatever.

00:42:43.520 And your parents are like, we're wasting our money. Well, you're wasting your money because

00:42:46.920 like, it's the individual you should be catering to, not the system of what people tell you,

00:42:52.900 you should be doing. So I'm just frustrated with that because I watched in real time,

00:42:59.720 blue collar jobs get stigmatized. And, you know, I'm, I'm in a very blue collar, uh, business.

00:43:06.700 and I've seen people be like, oh, and I'm just like, yeah, oh, good luck. So when the world

00:43:14.440 was shut down, we were still essential workers and oh, you needed us, didn't you? So it's just

00:43:21.180 funny. We have to stop the stigma of these things and encourage, I would really encourage

00:43:27.160 friends of yours who have children or your own children or nieces and nephews, go out there and

00:43:34.220 learn a skill that you can keep with you forever you cannot cancel a skill you can't fire a skill

00:43:40.300 a trade you can take that with you worldwide so that was my ted talk on that subject yeah and

00:43:47.440 bringing trades back into the the conversation can help these kids that may not be like oh i

00:43:55.780 went and discussed physics uh nauseam like i did uh yeah right it's not for everybody but you know

00:44:04.780 and you notice they're they're just as smart but they're they have a different skill set it's it's

00:44:10.060 the idea that not all of us are built the same and there's different skills and you just kind of uh

00:44:16.860 let that prosper yes so that that's i feel so obviously so strongly about that okay so

00:44:25.080 Oh, moving on a couple more things I want to get to. Okay. So that all in summit, you guys,

00:44:31.640 the, I saw somebody asking, um, what was the podcast we were talking about the other day is

00:44:36.440 called all in it's the all in podcast. And they, so they recently had a summit where like everybody

00:44:44.760 who has a one cell on tech was there. Um, but we didn't get to hear from JD Vance and there's a

00:44:52.380 lot of JD going around. So, um, I have a clip of him speaking there, but it's on a different

00:44:58.500 subject. So I'm going to hold one second and J Cal, I really didn't play J Cal yet, but, um,

00:45:05.160 it's now his turn to explain why we shouldn't be so, so worried about AI murdering us in a few

00:45:13.400 years. So here he is on Jesse waters last night. Are these computer programs going to create a

00:45:21.060 How are they going to launch a nuclear missile at Seattle? How?

00:45:28.060 Yes, this is where you need to get some science fiction authors in a room

00:45:31.840 to make like three or four or five jumps.

00:45:34.520 The jump you would have to make to get to the nuclear missiles

00:45:37.700 is those are air-gapped.

00:45:39.420 You would have to create an incredible thriller

00:45:41.620 where somehow the AI programs a thumb drive.

00:45:45.380 That thumb drive makes its way into the missile silo and uploads it, right?

00:45:50.000 It's just not possible.

00:45:51.060 Now, and to take the airplanes out of the sky, those are also what we call in the industry air-gapped.

00:45:56.780 We also have human-in-the-loop system.

00:45:59.080 So people are getting a little excited about this.

00:46:01.560 We were all trained on science fiction to get excited about it.

00:46:04.100 The pernicious thing here is, and you alluded to this with Bernie Sanders getting into this and other folks,

00:46:10.460 people, when they see a crisis like this, want to jump on it, and they have agendas.

00:46:14.220 And one of the agendas here is to do what's called regulatory capture, create a bunch of rules,

00:46:19.780 So maybe these one or two companies can win the market.

00:46:23.380 And then the smaller companies coming up or open source where anybody can own the technology, maybe they get regulated out of existence.

00:46:32.780 And so there are some nefarious forces at work here.

00:46:35.400 And it's our job, you know, all in podcast, you know, you here as a host here in the mainstream media to kind of debunk this a bit.

00:46:42.260 President Trump came to the All-In Summit or he phoned into the All-In Summit and said, listen, nerds, get back to work.

00:46:48.180 JANSON KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING

00:46:50.800 ABOUT, SATYA NADELA, ELON MUSK,

00:46:53.500 THEY ALL TO A POINT SAID, SURE,

00:46:56.180 THERE COULD BE SOME CONCERNS, BUT

00:46:57.920 LET'S JUST NOT RELEASE BROKEN

00:46:59.880 SOFTWARE.

00:47:00.760 AND ELON HAD A JUST PERFECT

00:47:02.260 SOLUTION.

00:47:03.200 WHY DON'T WE BUILD SOFTWARE THAT

00:47:05.080 TESTS THESE LARGE LANGUAGE

00:47:07.040 MODELS, CHAT GPT, ANPROPHICS,

00:47:09.080 FLAWD, AND LET'S JUST TEST EACH

00:47:10.720 OTHER'S MODELS AND LOOK FOR

00:47:11.960 VULNERABILITIES, AND THEN WE'LL

00:47:13.180 PUBLISH THE VULNERABILITIES.

00:47:14.680 THAT'S A PERFECTLY REASONABLE

00:47:15.980 NEXT STEP. 1.00

00:47:16.740 but i can tell you something the chinese are going to speed run to get to super intelligence so 0.90

00:47:22.240 president trump's correct we can't slow down we just need to be careful you can't and the people

00:47:28.540 look at jesse going with a little side part now it looks good jesse we like it um okay so

00:47:36.160 marcella do you feel better now knowing that you'd have to like get this thumb drive over there into

00:47:42.700 now i know what to do jason jason looked good too um he he oh my love for jason came out okay

00:47:53.360 um but it's it's funny how you say it was the all in podcast it's like the number one

00:48:01.540 podcast in the world so yes which is why they get these people um like the vice president like the

00:48:09.280 president um but his explanation was very quick to the point easy you know it's and he used the

00:48:18.780 word uh debunk why because it's a hoax we have the hoax buster in chief and trump on top of it

00:48:30.260 so thank goodness for for the explanations from them yes i broke someone's heart yes you did you

00:48:38.900 broke Dr. Von Hardy's heart by showing your love for J. Cal. Okay. Oh, Sandy. So listen,

00:48:48.720 that's a good explanation. I mean, it just kind of summed it up quickly. That's J. Cal's. I don't

00:48:55.760 know if it's like his opinion, but it's his opinion. You know, we don't really know. We're

00:49:01.160 never going to really know. But what I do know is Elon has been very consistent. I like how they

00:49:08.120 reference him, you know, again, saying that, you know, he thinks, you know, some safeguard should

00:49:12.680 be put in place. And I think one thing I heard was they were suggesting that the CEOs of each

00:49:19.120 one of these companies allow each other to just use it my way, like play with each other's AI

00:49:26.000 thing, and then show any vulnerabilities to each other. So, I mean, I doubt anyone's going to do

00:49:34.140 that nobody's but they could do that without making this whole hocus pocus uh come out like

00:49:41.860 they're private companies they can talk to each other and create this without making this big old

00:49:46.960 propaganda for it so it just makes you think like why did they do it they did it because the

00:49:53.220 anthropic ipo is coming out uh follow the money and they want to do uh some things with congress

00:50:00.940 some kind of regulations that will not allow like um like jason said will not allow open source or

00:50:08.800 new companies to get into the market you know i disagree i feel like no guardrails let them go

00:50:15.460 because there's no guardrails in china so let's go all right marcel is like the wild west over

00:50:22.280 here okay so i have one more clip i want to get to and i will have achieved everything i wanted

00:50:26.740 to do today. Can you imagine? And they said I should go to beauty school. Anyway, and by the

00:50:32.720 way, I was a manicurist for a while. Fun fact. Yes, yes. Okay. So here is JD at the all-in

00:50:41.440 summit. I just thought this was an interesting clip. We were mentioning, you know, trying to

00:50:48.420 have everybody keep their shit together for this war to end. And, you know, I mentioned yesterday, 0.99

00:50:53.760 You know, like if Israel pops off, it like blows the whole thing off. 0.51

00:50:57.180 If this one, you know, if Iran's shooting a missile at Egypt and who knows.

00:51:00.860 So let's just take a listen to J.D.

00:51:04.800 J.D., before we wrap here, I want to ask you another hard question.

00:51:08.260 This one about our relationship with the state of Israel and the president's relationship with Bibi Netanyahu.

00:51:14.900 Many people in the Republican Party, MAGA, are now moving to a new party, America first, America only.

00:51:21.800 there's a rise in anti-Semitism and there's a persistent belief amongst a lot of the people

00:51:28.040 on the right that maybe our foreign policy is too influenced by the state of Israel or Bibi Netanyahu

00:51:34.240 can you take us into the relationship right now where it stands uh and and in the you know the

00:51:41.640 administration's position on collaborating with Israel on a lot of these military activities

00:51:47.400 yeah you know what the president has said jason is obviously israel has been an important partner

00:51:54.660 when it comes to military technology when it comes to intelligence sharing but also sometimes the

00:51:59.480 united states doesn't always agree with israel and i think that more than frankly any president

00:52:03.360 the last 40 years he has shown a willingness uh to actually part ways with bb netanyahu when he

00:52:09.880 feels like the interests of the american people are different from the interests of of the

00:52:14.180 government of Israel. And I find it a little ironic, Jason, that you have Democrats criticizing

00:52:19.440 Donald Trump for his relationship with B.B. when Donald Trump is the one president of the last 40

00:52:24.540 years who's been willing to say, you know what? Yeah, B.B.'s a good partner, but also B.B. and I

00:52:28.720 have a different opinion on this or B.B.'s wrong about this or maybe B.B.'s right about this from

00:52:33.600 the perspective of Israel, but the American people need us to go in a different direction.

00:52:37.460 So I just think that rooting this relationship like all relationships in America's interest is the way to actually have a rational conversation here, because when you're talking about whether a given policy is in America's interest and you keep yourself laser focused on that, I think that's how you make sure that the American people know that you're fighting for them.

00:52:58.900 But I also think that it allows us to actually rationally focus and force ourselves to have a conversation about when something that maybe sounded good or maybe has become a cliche or a slogan for the past 20 or 30 years.

00:53:12.660 Well, maybe we have to do something different now.

00:53:14.900 And I think that that's how we have to approach not just this relationship, but all relationships.

00:53:19.700 By the way, you see a similar pushback when the president makes the argument that he's made about NATO, which is, yes, obviously a lot of important relationships, a lot of important partnerships in NATO.

00:53:30.660 But that doesn't mean that we're going to completely make our European foreign policy subservient to NATO in the same way that we cannot let our Middle Eastern foreign policy be subservient to the state of Israel.

00:53:42.520 We're going to work with people when we work with them.

00:53:44.680 We're going to disagree when we disagree and we're going to pursue America's interests.

00:53:47.880 That's the only way to have a rational foreign policy.

00:53:50.700 I know.

00:53:54.780 Okay, so, Sean, I'm not picking on you, but, you know, you said that was a loaded question.

00:54:00.700 You know, he's the second most powerful man in the United States and has a high potential

00:54:07.280 becoming the next president.

00:54:08.540 If he can't handle a loaded question, then what are we doing?

00:54:13.140 So you've got to load a question to get like all the answers you want from all different directions.

00:54:19.280 So, Marcella, you know, J.D.'s walking a tough line and I think he's doing it well.

00:54:27.440 A lot of people are giving him crap for it.

00:54:30.040 But, you know, what else is new in the world of politics? 0.96

00:54:34.060 Yeah, he has to walk a fine line because he's, you know, the vice president under President Trump.

00:54:38.340 He can't show any kind of, you know, separation from President Trump.

00:54:42.900 but I think that question should have been answered on For America First.

00:54:48.740 Like when I heard him, I said, why didn't you just say that? Why did you make a...

00:54:54.900 If you have to make apologies for Israel and any other country, then it tells you maybe you need

00:55:04.100 to re-examine your policies. But we were talking about this yesterday about Israel having elections

00:55:12.580 So that's the 27th of October this year. And it looks I looked into it and it looks like the Likud party, which is Bibi's party, Benjamin Netanyahu's party, is the seats that, you know, they're the polls, you know, the polls are polls, but they're not it's not looking too good to get the majority in order to have the majority government in order for them to decide who the prime minister is.

00:55:40.820 But they just saw our party is the center party.

00:55:44.740 Some would say left the center.

00:55:47.380 But I, you know, I don't know that much about the politics there,

00:55:51.460 but just far is led by a former

00:55:55.700 general, former, you know,

00:56:00.260 defense forces, part of the defense force of Israel.

00:56:04.500 So he's also, you know, but he wants less war.

00:56:07.980 Right.

00:56:08.940 So it's, it would be important that right now when Bibi Netanyahu is in power, as we know it,

00:56:17.420 that there's some kind of deal made with Iran, because right now he has a working partnership

00:56:24.700 with Israel, as we know, President Trump does. So it'd be especially important to see next week.

00:56:31.420 I believe it's next week that they're going to talk to the different countries like Bahrain,

00:56:37.340 saudi arabia um they're part of the un some part of the un council like i think president trump was

00:56:44.700 talking about it earlier uh that they're going to see if there's going to be talks but going back

00:56:51.820 to jd jd did as well as anybody can uh i just wish he would have right off the bat said america first

00:57:00.380 i know i know but you know what and then that would have made other people mad so it's like

00:57:06.460 you know like we want to hear what we want to hear and everybody feels the same way about what

00:57:11.020 they want to hear but you know he he is in a tough spot like marcella said he has to stay

00:57:17.740 basically in line with president trump while differentiating himself a little bit because

00:57:25.500 he does have a political future he hopes so it's it's tough and um i am very america first and i

00:57:34.380 I think that that actually makes some Americans mad too.

00:57:37.380 It's just like, I can't help you.

00:57:39.960 Like I, this is my country and I'm America first, sorry.

00:57:44.080 So I don't know, that summit, that All In Summit,

00:57:47.400 I think you guys could probably find it on YouTube

00:57:49.440 and you can watch like all of the clips

00:57:51.560 and the extended versions of things

00:57:53.320 that we were showing here.

00:57:55.780 So you could probably search All In Summit on YouTube

00:57:58.940 if you wanted to really like kick back

00:58:01.400 with a, with a beverage of your choice and get into it. Um, let's see. Yeah. Right. Sandy said,

00:58:08.900 if only they lined up J Cal questions ahead of time, as Dana bash did for Kamala. So true is 1.00

00:58:14.460 like, it's so true. If that was an all in summit, the Democrat version, they would have just been

00:58:19.760 like, tell us why you love Venn diagrams. I mean, like literally. So, you know, it does seem like

00:58:26.520 Republicans hit a little harder, like, because we all genuinely want to know, like, what are you

00:58:31.620 going to do with tough decisions? And I want to know that from everybody. Um, okay. So Marcella,

00:58:38.420 we did it. We did it. You guys with two minutes to spare. Um, oh my gosh, you guys. All right.

00:58:47.440 So let's do a little quick housekeeping here. Please hit the like and subscribe the little

00:58:52.940 heart, share it with your friends. And let me once again now, while I have a minute, say thank you,

00:58:58.900 thank you, thank you so, so much for being here. We really love it. And we take it very seriously.

00:59:06.320 And it's all within the spirit of Scott and the things that he taught us. And of course,

00:59:11.520 we're not him, but we have access to all of his videos and his lessons. And I just

00:59:22.780 feel like sometimes we can channel the subjects in a way. So sometimes people are like, why aren't

00:59:31.320 you talking about this? There's just certain things Scott probably wouldn't talk about,

00:59:35.960 and we have a pretty good feel for that too. So if we're missing stories that you want to see,

00:59:40.300 there might be a reason why. And also we can't do everything all the time. But I look just like him.

00:59:44.920 Thank you, Chunks. That's so sweet. Thank you. I look just like Scott. Thank you so much.

00:59:49.300 Your hair is just like Scott's.

00:59:50.760 Right?

00:59:51.520 Yeah, totally.

00:59:52.400 It would have been.

00:59:54.240 But, you know, so, you know, Marcella and I were planning for the show today and we were

00:59:58.740 just like, let's just, you know, make it fun and fast and do different clips and hit a

01:00:02.160 lot of different subjects.

01:00:03.640 And, you know, so we're just, we love thinking about the show.

01:00:06.740 We love being here.

01:00:08.580 I always say, you know, thank you to Scott and Shelly.

01:00:11.380 And like I said yesterday, you know, if Scott didn't want to do this and put something together

01:00:17.080 and Shelly didn't agree to do it, we would never have gotten this together. And, um, so I'm so

01:00:23.860 thankful to both of them and miss them both so much. We all do. Um, and so, you know, so the

01:00:31.580 show goes on and, um, we love it. All right. So that being said, Owen will be back tomorrow.

01:00:37.400 I am doing a little mini interview later today that I will be showing you next week. And you're

01:00:44.880 going to be like, what? No way. So I have a surprise coming. So that'll be fun. And Marcella

01:00:54.020 and I are working on a couple of things too for next week. We might even have an extra show for

01:00:59.700 you. We'll see. But thank you so much for being here, you guys. So let's do a closing sip to our

01:01:06.520 beloved Scott, who keeps us here together. And we'll do an Akira song and the whole thing, okay?

01:01:14.880 So, you guys, let's do a closing sip to our beloved Scott.

01:01:18.280 We miss you so much, Scott.

01:01:20.260 And let's go out there and be useful today to Scott.

01:01:23.600 To Scott.

01:01:28.280 Get Uncle Walter again.

01:01:30.020 Frank, give me a minute, Frank, for the love of goodness.

01:01:32.900 My gosh, you guys.

01:01:35.380 So you get someone's uncle that's named Walter.

01:01:39.380 It's not even Walter.

01:01:41.680 Oh, my gosh.

01:01:42.620 Okay, we're going to do – let's do –

01:01:46.820 Are you guys ready for the song?

01:01:51.380 You better be ready to dance.

01:01:53.220 I feel like they're all not showing up here.

01:01:56.540 So let's do how to program reality.

01:01:59.260 I'm not sure the last time I did it, but let's go.

01:02:01.580 Ready?

01:02:06.380 Oh, yeah.

01:02:07.860 Ooh.

01:02:10.340 Well, Erica.

01:02:13.100 Thanks, Crusher.

01:02:16.280 Do you guys want to watch the chat?

01:02:17.760 Let me show you my path toward figuring out the user interface.

01:02:24.340 It's important that you know how I got there so that you can have some trust that there's something to it.

01:02:31.560 When I was a kid, I was influenced, as was my mother, by the book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.

01:02:38.320 They're suggested that you could somehow change your life, or maybe you were changing reality, if you could simply think positively.

01:02:49.340 Think positively.

01:02:52.920 Think positively.

01:02:56.520 Think positively.

01:02:59.480 So this was my first introduction to the concept that maybe reality was not fixed,

01:03:06.080 and something that you were a victim of,

01:03:09.060 but rather you could do something.

01:03:11.180 There was some mechanism, some technique,

01:03:14.200 some tools you could use

01:03:15.580 to give some control over your environment

01:03:18.300 and your life,

01:03:20.760 as opposed to having to control you.

01:03:27.760 And that was my first thought,

01:03:29.680 that reality could be programmable

01:03:31.460 in at least some simple sense.

01:03:34.260 but of course i embarked on a lifetime of exploration to find out if i could find out

01:03:41.800 more about how to program reality think positively think positively think positively

01:03:49.900 how to program reality think positively think positively think positively to learn meditation

01:03:58.820 I became a trained hypnotist

01:04:01.320 Of course mushrooms let you see the world

01:04:03.700 In a completely different reality

01:04:05.920 And all of these things

01:04:07.720 From studying all the different religions

01:04:09.600 To doing affirmations

01:04:11.420 Which is really just visualizing what you want

01:04:13.640 And writing it down every day

01:04:15.040 Visualizing what you want

01:04:17.240 And writing it down every day

01:04:18.640 And then learning persuasion

01:04:20.440 These all had the same cumulative effect

01:04:22.740 Of teaching me that reality

01:04:24.380 Was indeed far more subjective

01:04:26.520 then you're led to believe.

01:04:32.640 And when I say reality is subjective,

01:04:35.440 I don't mean that there isn't some base reality that's real.

01:04:39.640 What I mean is that we don't have access to it.

01:04:44.000 In other words, you just take religion. 0.99

01:04:47.740 Two people with completely different religions

01:04:50.060 can go into a store, they can shop,

01:04:52.200 they can get married, have children.

01:04:54.300 They don't really need to reconcile

01:04:55.740 the fact that they live in different worlds one thinks there's an afterlife one thinks there's

01:05:01.360 reincarnation one thinks there's nothing and yet we we all survive and thrive and reproduce

01:05:07.060 there's nothing to suggest that our brains are the kind of brains that can understand reality

01:05:15.520 instead all of the evidence suggests that we can put filters optionally and somewhat subjectively

01:05:23.500 on our reality and the thing that we deal with is a filter we're not dealing with the underlying

01:05:28.700 reality but our filter on it is the thing that's real to us and you can change those filters so

01:05:34.640 that's the important part and you can change them fairly easily and if you find a filter that

01:05:40.920 predicts better and makes you happier well that's the better filter even if it isn't a better

01:05:46.880 approximation of reality what matters is you're happy what matters is you're getting what you

01:05:52.220 via the other life. Think positively, think positively, think positively. How to program

01:06:00.160 reality. Think positively, think positively, think positively. Program reality. You can

01:06:08.640 change those filters, change those filters, change those filters. How to program reality.

01:06:15.800 Think positively, think positively, think positively.

01:06:22.220 So once you accept that there's a subjective reality,

01:06:38.400 you're starting to get ready to accept the user interface for that reality.

01:06:53.180 Love it. Love it. Can't get enough. I know I just played, you guys, I don't know why,

01:06:57.420 but all the songs, they look like they're listed and then they're not all there. So we repeat a

01:07:02.720 bunch, but you know what? Who cares? It's just a closing time for us to say goodbye.

01:07:07.860 And I love jamming out with Akira. So I messaged with him frequently. I told him to come check us

01:07:14.340 out. I sent him, Marcella, the clip of you and I that one day we're like doing this. I'm like,

01:07:20.360 We have so much fun with your songs, so he'll love that.

01:07:24.720 But anyway, you guys, thank you so much for being here today.

01:07:27.340 Owen returns tomorrow.

01:07:29.620 We'll have another amazing show for you.

01:07:31.820 Thanks for being here.

01:07:32.680 And thanks for everybody on the replay too.

01:07:35.000 All right, guys.
