00:01:04.960 okay you guys you know that peanut butter powder it's like pb2 and it's like a powdered peanut

00:01:11.300 butter and it's like for added flavor and protein could i put that in my coffee and froth it in

00:01:18.040 i'm gonna guess the answer is yes you of course could but i don't think it would work out very

00:01:25.680 well why i just the peanut butter powder doesn't seem to dissolve very well in my experience

00:01:31.960 even with a frother oh look i'm getting yeses don't do it it might be worth a try just to see

00:01:39.620 how it works out for you but i and maybe it's a different powder than the one i got but

00:01:44.200 even in the normal like protein shakes i would put the protein powder in it would still be kind

00:01:49.140 of lumpy and not really blend in what was that dance i'm doing i'm like i'm gonna try it

00:01:55.460 maybe after the show, I have a little coffee left. I'll just do it black with the peanut butter

00:02:01.300 powder. Great. Morgan Ray, I'll try it once. Froth it up and maybe it'll be frothy like the

00:02:07.060 top hot third frothy situation. See, there's, oh, look. Okay. All right. So let's go. Marcella

00:02:16.900 will be here soon. She's just running around and Akira will be here in a little while. So

00:02:23.420 have no fear. Everyone's here. Okay. You guys listen, Owen didn't see this yet, but we're

00:02:30.460 going to, I hate sipping without her. We're going to, we're going to sip. We're going

00:02:33.680 to sip. We all got to do it. Oh, here she is. Here she is. Okay. Hold on. I'm excited.

00:02:43.020 I like, I like us to sip together so we can do it now. Here's Marcella. Hello.

00:02:52.360 Thank you for me today.

00:02:54.100 Oh, no, Marcella.

00:02:55.880 You know what you need?

00:02:58.300 A sip.

00:02:59.420 You do.

00:03:00.400 Let's do it.

00:03:01.920 But first, the simultaneous sip.

00:03:04.860 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:03:13.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:03:14.540 I like coffee.

00:03:15.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of that dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:03:21.840 except for mail-in voting it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go

00:03:28.340 oh yeah yep i don't think there's a dangling chad anywhere in the country after that sip

00:03:41.360 it's all good now shout out to the dimpled and dangling chads of the 90s that was the worst

00:03:51.240 How did he know that we'd be right in the middle of mail-in voting today?

00:03:54.580 I mean, oh, and he knows everything.

00:03:56.800 He's like Santa.

00:03:58.600 He really is.

00:03:59.640 Sometimes it's amazing how these sips line up.

00:04:02.440 Sippity-doo-dah.

00:04:04.100 You guys, so the funniest thing.

00:04:06.940 All right, first, Marcella, it's going to be okay.

00:04:10.760 Everything's okay.

00:04:11.760 We got you, sister.

00:04:13.000 We got you.

00:04:13.580 And you know what, Marcella?

00:04:14.400 Why don't you leave at the halfway mark today and take the rest of the day, okay?

00:04:20.740 I think he's good.

00:04:23.720 So if Marcella leaves it at her 730 mark, I think it's because she needs it.

00:04:30.820 Okay.

00:04:31.580 So Trump, what was the rally last night?

00:04:34.580 Where were we?

00:04:35.380 And I can't keep up with him.

00:04:37.660 He did a rally last night.

00:04:39.200 Anyway, this moment, I didn't really see anything about it except for this clip.

00:04:44.720 And it was amazing.

00:04:45.760 So, you know, they have that big jumbotron behind him, Owen.

00:04:49.600 and he's turning around, looking at the crowd,

00:04:52.820 which forced him to look at the back of his head.

00:04:56.300 Let's look at this.

00:05:05.020 Wait a minute.

00:05:11.620 Wait a minute.

00:05:12.460 I'm not happy right now.

00:05:13.860 get a little bit thin up there i'm not happy

00:05:20.500 this is not good news now i'm depressed

00:05:26.180 i said i look really sharp tonight then i just looked at myself from the back this is not good

00:05:33.560 why didn't you tell me

00:05:38.580 because he is pretty vain and you know which is good like you should care about the way you look

00:05:50.360 right and you know his hair he's been doing so you guys his hair goes like his hair he brings it

00:05:57.060 forward like you know when you do the george washington and the swimming pool when you bring

00:06:00.860 all your hair forward and then you go like this that's what he does so his hair is really long

00:06:05.700 it goes forward and then he does this like whoop and then he covers the back so i thought that was

00:06:11.480 hysterical i love it well i mean and you know you say he's being vain but i would say like

00:06:17.080 that was also self-deprecating humor i mean he's making fun of himself and i i think that's

00:06:23.460 probably what his critics would say he would never do oh for sure right that was so cute he's like

00:06:29.460 wait a minute so i love that um marcella has it cooled off in la yet no no we have a hurricane

00:06:41.220 coming welcome to the east coast that's odd right well i don't know and then and then trump not that

00:06:49.860 i don't not that i that i tell him not to say this but i think in in that speech that he did it he

00:06:58.340 did it twice, that he's like, oh, Iran can bomb Los Angeles and San Diego, Los Angeles and San

00:07:04.980 Diego. And I'm like, oh, no, don't tell them. Those are my ideas. Oh, my God. I know. And now 0.92

00:07:10.980 the hurricane. So it's like, hmm, what's next? So if the big earthquake comes,

00:07:16.180 are you going to be falling off into the ocean? No, but if there's a hurricane and an earthquake

00:07:24.580 altogether and sharknado might come you know so i don't know i'll survive everything so don't worry

00:07:32.740 you guys i'm not worried about marcella she's a survivor listen come hell or high water marcella

00:07:39.700 is surviving we know it literally literally um okay so this is exciting could um marcella or

00:07:49.460 owen listen we've got elon today heading to the white house he's getting the net or is he getting

00:07:57.940 the national medal of science and the national medal of technology and innovation

00:08:04.420 is it both or one i wasn't sure and who else who who has the info on this i know i asked you guys

00:08:10.740 but who else is getting a medal today everyone everyone gets a medal today oh they even said

00:08:17.140 Erica said, like, Erica's getting one. I'm getting one on. It feels that way. To be honest, I think

00:08:24.820 Trump wanted just to give Elon the medal, but he's like, ah, the other people are going to

00:08:31.300 complain. So Elon is getting the National Medal of Science. Google co-founder, Sergei Brim.

00:08:40.020 It's probably best for Owen to pronounce these names, but

00:08:43.860 Maybe not. I don't know. I can try. I think I have the same list. Elon Musk, Google's

00:08:50.260 Sergey Brin, NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, and AMD CEO, Lisa Su. And then those are for the

00:09:00.300 National Medal of Science. And then Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, will get the

00:09:08.880 National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Okay. By the way, let's really quick, I have

00:09:15.520 no information on this except for what's in my little tiny, shiny human brain. The Dells,

00:09:22.460 like honestly, amazing job with these Trump accounts. And so it was if you had a new baby,

00:09:30.140 you could sign up for the Trump accounts. They were going to put $1,000 in a, what,

00:09:35.040 like a bond or something um and then you know when you're when your baby grows up they'd have 1.00

00:09:41.760 like a little nest egg started for them and i guess some people because they're stupid 0.98

00:09:47.700 wouldn't do it because trump's name was on it i mean can you imagine like i'm gonna hurt my 0.98

00:09:53.900 child having some extra money because wah trump i mean even a lot of people on the left are

00:09:58.960 praising this like even the dem like newsom and others i think who come out and said this is good

00:10:02.980 this is a great thing. And so I'm sure there are these stubborn people that are willing to cut off

00:10:08.660 their own foot to just hurt Trump, but it's just silly. Well, now they're auto enrolling the kids. 0.61

00:10:15.300 So I forget what the number was. It was a lot. It was like 70 million. I was going to say 60. Okay.

00:10:21.020 70 million babies have now been enrolled and they're also getting some stock shares of certain

00:10:28.380 companies. And oh, and do you know the other part of it? There was another billionaire that was

00:10:35.060 going to do something for low income families. I don't know all the details, but I know several

00:10:40.580 billionaires have contributed to this. So it's not all coming out of taxpayer dollars. A lot of it

00:10:44.860 is donations. And I don't even know if any of it's coming from taxpayer dollars, frankly. I just know

00:10:49.920 a lot of billionaires have contributed to it. And it was kind of one of these things where probably

00:10:53.700 the Trump administration was asking them to do this. But I think it's a win-win situation for

00:11:00.560 a lot of these billionaires. Obviously, they get the charitable accolades for doing nice things

00:11:06.380 for poorer people. But it also means that a lot of this is going to be invested in their stocks.

00:11:11.760 So it's kind of like it'll come back to them in some way in terms of their companies. And

00:11:16.420 I'm guessing part of the design of it was also just that by having this happen,

00:11:22.060 you kind of have another automatic bid on the market. Like there's going to be regular

00:11:27.800 investments happening that wouldn't have otherwise happened going into the U S stock market. So it's

00:11:32.640 going to boost stock prices. And that again, then goes back to helping the kids because it

00:11:37.760 raises the stock prices. And so I think it's a great system all the way around. Um, you know,

00:11:42.860 the, the thousand dollars or whatever they start with, you know, may not be enough by itself,

00:11:47.740 But it's another it's kind of like an IRA for kids. And I think it's great because the what I explained to my kids was like the earlier you can start contributing to your 401k at work or your IRA.

00:11:59.500 If you don't have a 401k, the better it is like, you know, and you can do the math and see how just little amounts can add up to many millions of dollars by the time you retire.

00:12:10.480 and this is something i learned in college when i took my first finance class they they did this

00:12:15.140 experiment where they i mean not experiment but they they said okay now calculate what it would

00:12:20.640 be if you contribute let's say five thousand dollars a year for 10 years and then you stop

00:12:25.780 and then you wait until retirement how much would you have based on how much it would grow

00:12:30.160 and then they would say now do the same thing except don't contribute anything for the first

00:12:34.620 10 years but then contribute the same five thousand dollars a year for the rest of your

00:12:39.240 career. So like another 30 years. So you're putting in three times as much money. Now

00:12:43.140 calculate what you have and it's less, it's less money than if you did the early one. And so if

00:12:48.860 you back that up to when someone's born, it's like multiply that by four or something. And

00:12:53.980 so it's, it, even a small amount can add up to a lot over the course of someone's life.

00:12:59.200 Yeah. I like how Kobe said reward citizenship, sell shares in America. I love that. Um, Marcella,

00:13:05.400 we should go go have some babies and uh get them loaded up 1.00

00:13:09.860 oh my gosh if anyone has a baby because of that then that's another win

00:13:17.040 i mean you know it's gonna happen so um all right so let's move on um i just want to play

00:13:25.880 i'm gonna skip this one thing just for time i want to get more news in but um so we know that

00:13:32.540 rubio was in greece and he you know gave a speech with the acropolis behind him i just wanted to

00:13:39.780 pull one clip i didn't do any of that like you know monumental like you know cue the music i

00:13:46.420 just wanted to get like a little bit of the meat and so i like this clip and then we'll chat about

00:13:52.740 it and then owen and marcella are going to teach me the news okay here we go under president trump

00:13:58.100 the United States has made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power

00:14:03.540 to take back control of our critical supply chains, to re-industrialize our economy,

00:14:09.160 to rebuild our defense, to fight for dominance of the technologies and industries of the future.

00:14:14.940 We choose to reach for new frontiers in advanced manufacturing and superintelligence,

00:14:20.700 in drones, weapons, and warfare, in chips, minerals, cyber, and every other domain of human possibility

00:14:28.780 to unleash our energy, to rebuild our factories, to return our astronauts to the moon,

00:14:34.240 and launch a new age of exploration in space.

00:14:38.880 Now, for all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive.

00:14:44.520 They understood that nations have interest.

00:14:46.700 They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy, but they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force when prudence and diplomacy fail.

00:15:00.580 I like that. Oh, Marcella's cooling off. She's at the Acropolis. Look at her. I was like, what just happened? 0.94

00:15:08.940 um i love that marcella good for you so since you're there and you um got to witness this

00:15:16.240 i love talking about america taking taking back like you know just leading what do you think

00:15:25.240 um give me one second i don't think you can hear me can you hear me yeah uh-huh

00:15:32.480 we can hear you i don't know if marcella can hear us but we can hear you all right oh and go ahead

00:15:38.760 do you take it? Well, I think it's great. I mean, Rubio has certainly come a long way with his

00:15:43.740 speech making, if nothing else. And I think it's exactly the right message. And I think it's a

00:15:50.260 continuation of what we've, you know, the Trump administration has been talking about. I think

00:15:54.860 ever since probably Obama, it seems like the message was more like, hey, we're, you know,

00:16:00.360 we're going to be much less important as a country kind of thing was the message. It was like,

00:16:04.520 we're gonna become this globalist hegemony and and it seemed like we were just giving up all sorts

00:16:10.420 of things for no reason um to countries that were much less powerful and and making these bad trade

00:16:17.200 deals and stuff and it almost seemed like we were trying to make it happen and the message for a

00:16:21.560 while was about this like you know well the us is on decline it's not going to be there anymore we

00:16:26.140 had a nice run but that's it and i'm glad that we're reversing that i don't think there's any

00:16:30.880 reason to do that. And I think we made a lot of big mistakes in terms of giving up our supply

00:16:35.300 chain and giving up like critical pharmaceuticals and other supply chain things where we became

00:16:40.280 dependent on China and dependent on people. And especially when China really isn't our ally,

00:16:45.400 that's a big problem. I agree. The fact that China is making the bulk of all of our medication 0.88

00:16:54.620 is so scary to me because I, you know, like I asked Dr. Drew when we spoke to him with BJ 0.95

00:17:00.860 and I just said, why wouldn't they taint it? You know, like that's just, I just think, you know,

00:17:06.120 why wouldn't they? They send fentanyl here. So I would love our country to just be completely

00:17:12.920 self-reliant. I think that's the, like one of the best borders we could put on our country

00:17:17.720 is to just rely on ourselves for everything we need. And it would make us so much safer.

00:17:24.620 Um, Marcella's back here. She is. Um, so we can, you know, we can move on from that,

00:17:30.000 but the whole speech is, it's not that long. I think it was 20 something minutes. If you guys

00:17:34.160 want to see it, it's posted everywhere. And I personally think Rubio's running because

00:17:40.000 he is doing one presidential type of thing after the other. I know what he said about Vance, but I,

00:17:46.820 I think he's running and I, you know, listen, I wouldn't be mad about it. I personally would like

00:17:53.000 to see a gen x president we've never had one and if he doesn't we might never have one so i'm like

00:17:59.800 let's go um all right so let's move on so owen why don't you give us um your first news story

00:18:07.480 and we'll get some news under our belts our fantasy commission says for him it's all about

00:18:12.360 the friendships cute kevin but i disagree like with bat 365 i get paid the second my team goes

00:19:13.140 natural dairy trans fats are very different from industrial fats. So apparently they're much

00:19:19.200 healthier for you. Surprise, surprise. Probably could have just asked Scott. But it was, I guess,

00:19:26.720 a meta-analysis. So maybe Scott wouldn't have liked that part. But they looked at 22 studies

00:19:31.240 involving thousands of people across the US, Europe, Canada, and basically found that the

00:19:38.560 natural fats and the industrial fats are not the same and that the problems you have with these

00:19:46.040 trans fats and things like that are probably mostly from those industrial synthetic ultra

00:19:51.540 processed fats. So go ahead and drink your milk and eat your cheese and don't worry as much about

00:19:57.740 the trans fats, but try and stay away from the seed oils and the bad fats. Okay. Shout out to 0.86

00:20:03.980 cheese i love cheese okay marcella why don't you give us a a news item so trump spoke uh you showed

00:20:14.700 some of it you should well you showed the funny part um he talked to in san antonio he was doing

00:20:20.500 a midterm rally um and he talked about iran and the deal with iran and he is not uh he said

00:20:28.380 something like that i don't want to do it and that i'm willing to offer us they're willing to

00:20:35.000 offer us anything to stop but he's thinking of doing massive bombing and i know that uh the few

00:20:43.240 like a few days ago maybe a week ago there was more um more military was moved uh to the middle

00:20:53.740 east um and we'll see but uh crude remains elevated um as non-arrating golf exports are

00:21:03.720 you know dealing with issues with iran and the hormone strait but to be honest the uae and other

00:21:10.720 states there um have figured out a way around the hormone strait so it's it's getting better and

00:21:18.300 we'll see we'll see if there's massive bombing he said that before yeah well what do you two think

00:21:24.940 um you know what do you think marcella because i just saw that like our for our first tanker

00:21:31.720 from texas has now arrived in japan um of crude or of oil and i'm like wait can't we use that

00:21:39.940 like wouldn't why are we i know we're selling it to japan and trading with japan now um

00:21:46.240 But I mean, wouldn't it make sense to keep that here?

00:21:48.740 I don't know.

00:21:49.340 I know nothing.

00:21:51.040 I think generally it's better.

00:21:52.660 I mean, as far as overall oil prices go, it's better not to have restrictions like that.

00:21:57.140 You often would think, well, why don't we just keep it here and make it cheaper here?

00:22:03.040 But I think because it's a global market, anytime you do that, you're basically restricting it.

00:22:08.480 And I think it's more complex when you get to oil because not all oil is the same.

00:22:14.640 like you have different many different types of oil and you need refineries to turn that into

00:22:19.960 gasoline and diesel and all the other things and i think that's actually our problem is that we

00:22:26.000 don't have enough refinery capacity and so in many cases when you see oil going to some other

00:22:32.360 country it's because they have the refineries to process it and we might not at least not enough

00:22:37.480 and and it's become very difficult if not impossible to build a new refinery in the united

00:22:42.880 States. I think we've had some that are kind of offshore on certain islands or nearby places that

00:22:48.660 we've built them before. But even that, I think, has become difficult, at least when it's a United

00:22:53.840 States-based refinery because of all our environmental regulations and other things,

00:22:57.780 because it is a pretty dirty process. And so I think the refinery capacity is the issue,

00:23:02.800 but you have to take that into account whenever you're thinking about oil trade, because

00:23:06.280 you have to line up the capacity of who can process what kinds of oil and how would it impact

00:23:12.180 oil prices, if suddenly you said, okay, we can only send it certain places, it may not actually

00:23:18.780 benefit prices. So I think generally speaking, it's better to have that free market where

00:23:23.940 everybody can just bid on it and that'll keep it a lower price. So why are we closing our

00:23:30.160 refineries? If we don't have enough and we're closing them, I mean, Marcella, California,

00:23:36.560 I know is closing refineries. Shouldn't we be keeping them open? Again, this is not-

00:23:41.640 Blame Gavin.

00:23:42.660 I will.

00:23:43.720 I will.

00:23:44.200 I mean, he might be a fault for all of this.

00:23:49.640 It's the environmental actions that they don't want.

00:23:54.300 It's kind of like we're the Germany of America.

00:23:57.740 Germany closed all its nuclear plants, you know,

00:24:02.600 and they felt so good about it because, you know, climate change.

00:24:06.320 So the same thing with all the refineries.

00:24:08.620 So if we could get all the wokeness out of California and just be like, let's fire up,

00:24:15.480 we'd solve so many of our problems, right? Oh my God. Which, you know what? I'm going to play my 1.00

00:24:20.080 clip because this is David Spade and Dana Carvey have a podcast and they, I don't know if Dana

00:24:29.420 lives in California. I think maybe he does. I know David does, but it's just Gavin Newsom. He is,

00:24:36.080 he's the trump of the left like blame him for everything let's let's just take a listen

00:24:40.120 the same broader problem with people paying taxes in california when

00:24:44.760 they're building a hundred billion dollar train to sacramento san francisco area said i don't know

00:24:51.220 if everyone's clamoring for it when you could take 10 billion and probably fix a lot of problems in

00:24:56.220 california but they keep pushing this 10-year thing about the train that's just one of the

00:25:01.620 crazy things the homeless they lose 20 billion but they want more money for it that's why people

00:25:07.300 get tired of paying tax and going what are you doing gavin newsom just vetoed a bill asking for

00:25:14.100 an audit of where the money for homeless goes he said not a chance you're not going to see that

00:25:19.700 that's well i don't think anyone could disagree with this there are states i don't have them offhand

00:25:26.500 who basically you go to their website and they tell you where all the money's going

00:25:31.620 yeah line by line maybe it's thousands of pages a year but you can see where it's going so when

00:25:37.620 there's he's behind the curtain don't pay attention to gavin you know it's a little bit frustrating

00:25:44.100 because you go you can't ask for more i mean if someone's if you're if you're in a household and

00:25:48.900 someone's blowing all the money you go what are you spending on don't worry about it just give

00:25:52.260 us more you go well i'd like to see some something and if it's fixing homeless great but don't just

00:25:59.940 take it and then be like almost gotten worse you go it's like you just excuse me excuse me excuse

00:26:06.420 me um could we ask where uh the 20 billion went or that's a great question but no garth i'm sorry

00:26:16.260 we're that was garth asking this car a little bit of guards but 0.91

00:26:19.700 um it's just it's so stupid because it's so true it's like he actually vetoed an investigation 0.93

00:26:32.000 that people asked for well where is all this money going he's like not we're not going to 0.97

00:26:36.160 look into it what uh marcella it was that the nick shirley actor was that another one

00:26:42.460 like it was basically saying you're not allowed to look into this stuff

00:26:45.700 right i mean it isn't it the taxpayers money marcella and aren't you guys pissed you know

00:26:52.980 what's that the nick the the nick shirley act it is yeah there's some weird laws we have in

00:27:03.020 california so yeah i mean i i don't know i mean you have to sue the pants out of the state of

00:27:10.420 California and you run out of you know there has to be a federal like a federal oversight over

00:27:18.260 what California is doing because they can't police themselves and they control the courts

00:27:23.920 the state controls all courts the state controls everything so it would be for the federal

00:27:30.260 government if anybody's listening they should do that we should look into all of like yeah

00:27:36.760 it's all full on fraud. So California kind of sucks because they take up so much coastline on 0.97

00:27:43.960 the West coast where like a lot of things need to happen as far as like refineries or whatever that 0.97

00:27:49.820 you need the coast to do things. And they're like, no, no, we're like granola Birkenstocks. And you

00:27:56.820 know, the endangered little mosquito might not like the smell of that. And it's like, we got to

00:28:03.080 get up and running here, people. California is holding back America. And that's just, you know,

00:28:10.180 that's my opinion. But I think it would be amazing if California could just have like this

00:28:15.020 earth shattering, not quaking moment where it's like, you know what, we're turning this around

00:28:21.480 and we're going to put Republicans in, we're going to have prosperity, we're going to get

00:28:26.220 things straight, fix the problems. It's such a sad state of affairs what happened to the

00:28:33.060 most gorgeous state. And I think it's largely because they've been under Democrat one party

00:28:38.200 control for so long. And I would even say the same thing might be true if you had a totally red,

00:28:43.560 you know, always red, no matter what type of state that like that would probably mean there

00:28:47.540 might be a lot of abuses going on because you don't really have a check on the system. You

00:28:51.880 don't have any possibility that you're going to lose the election. So you feel free to do whatever

00:28:56.060 you want, take extreme positions, do a bunch of fraud because, you know, you have control over

00:29:01.260 all the parts of the government where it's never going to get checked and that's how that happens

00:29:05.460 and I do wish that California voters would overwhelmingly come out and make the change

00:29:12.320 and tell them we're not going to put up with this anymore but I guess I don't have a lot of faith

00:29:16.560 that it's going to happen. I disagree. I don't think a red state is the same as a blue state

00:29:24.240 and I'll tell you why and I see where you're coming from Owen but I think it's different

00:29:29.640 because we talked about this before that the the republican party and the and the right is not

00:29:37.160 always in aligned with each other there's always different factions when it comes to the democratic

00:29:44.200 party they always even though they have different factions they always go together um it's easier to

00:29:50.120 bring together communism comrades than it is to bring in independent uh liberal minds the liberal

00:29:59.240 in the old way together. So, I mean, obviously fraud can happen in any government, but I see it

00:30:06.240 as more prevalent, more prevalent in leftist governments. And it's all of the whole entire

00:30:13.560 coast. It's not just California. It's Oregon. It's Washington. It goes all up the entire coast

00:30:21.140 coming from Baja California Mexico cartels everything it's all fraud crime it's just

00:30:29.600 I live in El Salvador but just in America I guess right yeah I mean I understand what you're saying

00:30:36.020 I mean I think it's it is about I guess what my point that I think I'm agreeing with you on is

00:30:41.920 that it's it's about when one party has complete control when there's no checks on the system and

00:30:46.380 And maybe it is less likely on the right that you would have that because someone might be a whistleblower or say, I'm going to fight this kind of like you see with Massey and Rand Paul and people like that.

00:30:56.880 But I think – I would guess if you really looked, you might be able to find some places where there's bad things happening because a Democrat never gets elected and there's a lock on the government and it's all one party and they just protect each other.

00:31:12.140 And to me, that's just sort of the deep state idea that does go across parties.

00:31:15.660 But, you know, we can agree to disagree or I'm not even really sure if we're disagreeing.

00:31:22.020 Yeah.

00:31:22.600 No, I get it both.

00:31:23.840 Marcella, do you have to take off?

00:31:25.680 Yeah.

00:31:26.340 Not because I know what he said.

00:31:28.140 That's it, Owen.

00:31:29.560 Yeah.

00:31:30.520 That's it.

00:31:31.240 I'm a Latina.

00:31:32.020 What can I say?

00:31:33.060 I'm just kidding.

00:31:34.120 So have a great show.

00:31:35.520 I see Akira's here.

00:31:37.180 So I'll talk to you.

00:31:39.060 Aw.

00:31:39.660 Bye, Marcella.

00:31:41.200 Bye.

00:31:41.960 Bye.

00:31:42.320 Bye.

00:31:42.400 Um, I swear if, if California ever got itself together, which I'm not hope hopeful for, I mean,

00:31:51.000 how many people would love to move there if it was run the right way? It'd be such a gorgeous

00:31:55.860 state. That is just so trash. It's so sad. Um, I, I mean, I, anytime I've been to California, 1.00

00:32:02.320 I don't know, just, I guess, cause I'm on the East coast. It's such a weird vibe when you go

00:32:06.880 to the west coast and you feel like whether the sun's rising or setting or it's here and it's like

00:32:12.940 oh my god i'm still on the coast but with like the opposite vibe it's so fun i love it um oh and

00:32:19.280 why don't you give us another news item so we can be so informed out in the world all right well on

00:32:26.280 the science front again apparently scientists have figured out how to create car t cells inside

00:32:31.600 patients. And this CAR-T therapy is something that's been a big thing in the cancer treatment

00:32:38.100 world where it kind of supercharges your immune system and helps your body both discover and

00:32:44.920 attack cancer. But apparently they've come up with some way that they can inject something

00:32:50.120 into you that actually makes your body create CAR-T cells. And so that may make it easier to

00:32:56.460 make that happen because you don't have to necessarily just inject them. You can

00:33:00.000 you know, make the body do it itself. Is this that thing where it doesn't

00:33:04.560 kill any of your healthy cells because it's making new ones? I was reading something you posted.

00:33:12.000 Did you post that today? Yeah. I mean, I think I've posted a bunch of articles about CAR T

00:33:18.840 cells of various kinds, because again, it is a big thing in the cancer treatment world. It's

00:33:22.980 using these T cells that are immune cells that just help identify which cells are

00:33:29.940 abnormal. So yeah, they wouldn't attack normal cells, but they were kind of on the lookout for

00:33:35.100 anything that doesn't look right. And then they'll attack the bad ones, including cancer cells. But I

00:33:39.840 think a lot of times if you're older or if you have some other problem going on, your CAR T

00:33:46.160 cells don't work well, or it might even be the cancer itself that somehow has defenses against

00:33:50.360 them and turns them off or something like that. And so then it doesn't work the way you're hoping

00:33:55.960 it would. And so this was a new method. They came to say, you know, we can make the body create

00:34:02.180 these CAR T cells that would help rejuvenate or improve your immune system.

00:34:08.980 Interesting. Oh my gosh. I mean, I know people hang so much hope on, you know, these things

00:34:14.880 happening and, and working. So I feel for everybody that's in these positions and,

00:34:20.440 you know shout out to you like i just can't imagine so i hope i hope we get some major

00:34:27.220 breakthroughs like this that they work and people's lives are saved um okay so actually

00:34:33.560 we have time for another news item um if you have one ready for us our fantasy commission says for

00:34:40.820 him it's all about the friendships cute kevin but i disagree like with bat 365 i get paid the second

00:35:15.820 Manager.

00:35:16.220 um okay so let me scroll a little bit just so it's not all science um i think uh there's

00:35:25.820 apparently a threat from the mexican cartel that they're threatening to kidnap federal agents at

00:35:30.060 the border um there uh obviously would still be cartels trying to do this human trafficking

00:35:37.860 smuggling of people across the border and apparently now they're trying to threaten

00:35:42.080 that they're going to kidnap some of the border

00:35:44.380 patrol agents. Lovely.

00:35:47.440 What are we doing?

00:35:48.240 So things are heating up there. I've seen other stories

00:35:50.520 where I think it was

00:35:52.000 one of the

00:35:54.340 Trump officials, I think, was saying that

00:35:56.520 there's some kind of technology they have

00:35:58.380 on the border that he's not allowed to talk about.

00:36:01.260 I don't know if he was

00:36:02.260 referring to what I'm about to say,

00:36:04.380 but there's also these lasers that

00:36:06.340 they've been testing near the border to shoot down

00:36:08.240 Mexican cartel drones.

00:36:10.540 Awesome!

00:36:10.980 Um, and so it's, it really is kind of heating up, I think a little bit, but, you know, we're also

00:36:15.500 going after the cartels in a big way with all these boats were blowing up and different things

00:36:20.280 we're doing to try and get a handle on that. So it does seem like there's a lot going on there,

00:36:23.880 probably more than the news typically talks about. What do you think these cartel that have

00:36:27.800 to get in the boat are thinking? They're like, Oh, I don't want to, don't make me go on the boat.

00:36:32.720 I would think so, but I honestly, I don't even know. I mean, it might even be, um, you know,

00:36:38.000 i don't know i don't know if i want to call it a punishment but like you know they they may be

00:36:41.200 kind of like slave labor where they don't really have a choice you know they're right i could

00:36:45.440 easily see cartels like you know putting people at gunpoint and saying it's either you know it's

00:36:50.180 either die now or take your chances and i don't know i mean i don't know that that's happening

00:36:54.840 but i i could easily see that happening it's like the monty python skit where he's like i don't want

00:36:59.800 to go on the cart i feel happy i'm not good yet getting the boat you're getting him buddy um okay

00:37:07.380 That's scary. I mean, it is crazy to think that right now, how many cartel members we have

00:37:16.640 running through the country that are actually just doing full on business in our country,

00:37:20.940 the cartel, the Mexican cartel. We have gang members and gang violence from all over the

00:37:27.960 world. Oh, and did you post a story today that the Somalians are blaming Americans for some

00:37:35.860 kind of gang violence uh that was so off the the beaten path to ask you that but it was just

00:37:42.340 amazing it was something about somalians blaming americans for gang violence and i was like oh you

00:37:47.060 have a lot of freaking nerve um i don't i don't recall posting that i don't know if that was me

00:37:53.560 oh i just said yeah the audacity of people that just like invade our country and then the things 0.54

00:37:59.340 that they say to us are just shocking and appalling. Okay, we still have time, Owen. Look

00:38:05.800 at us. So yeah, I know. I like to just get in all the news we can while we can. That's great.

00:38:12.940 Well, Rob Blagojevich is apparently saying that he thinks a lot of the polling is fake.

00:38:19.400 I'm guessing most people here will agree with that, but he's predicting no blue wave. He's

00:38:23.860 saying that there's a bunch of polling that is fake and favoring the Democrats ahead of the

00:38:28.820 midterms that we shouldn't believe it. And it's designed to persuade people and suppress turnout

00:38:34.080 and mislead voters. And I'm seeing a lot of that on the right saying kind of like we may be in for

00:38:39.880 a surprise here, but we've heard that before and it hasn't happened. So I'm not trying to get your

00:38:44.520 hopes up necessarily. And then certainly go out and vote as soon as you can. I just found out that

00:38:48.840 in Illinois, it starts on October 19th. So that's not very far away. It's like 11 days from now and

00:38:54.200 I'm going to be showing up on the 19th to vote. Because as Steve Cortez told us, you're actually

00:38:59.320 helping a lot more than just casting your vote by doing it on the first day, because otherwise they

00:39:03.880 might be chasing you and spending a lot of money that they could be spending on someone else that

00:39:08.480 didn't vote the first day. And so it's really helpful to get out as early as you can, get your

00:39:13.060 vote in so they can check you off the list and say, okay, we got you. We're going to go on to

00:39:16.840 the next person. And it's kind of like a way of multiplying your vote. So I'm going to make sure

00:39:21.820 I do that on the 19th and maximize what they can do in Illinois.

00:39:26.060 Now, I understand we may not have much of a chance in Illinois,

00:39:29.040 but I still want to fight the battle as much as I can.

00:39:31.800 Because even if they have to just defend it a little more

00:39:34.420 or spend a little more in Illinois to keep it that way,

00:39:37.640 then at least that takes money away from somewhere else.

00:39:41.360 Also, let me see.

00:39:43.880 Hang on.

00:39:45.500 You guys, I watched a...

00:39:48.240 Wait a minute. Let me tell Akira one thing.

00:39:51.820 um akira if you can hear me if you scroll down a little bit and you'll see your picture at the

00:39:58.780 bottom i mean you'll see your name at the bottom there's two icons one's a microphone and one's a

00:40:03.420 camera just click on each one akira and that will enable your microphone and your camera and then

00:40:09.180 i can bring you up on stage when you're ready um you guys i watched a uh interview with rod

00:40:18.540 blagoyevich who i was never interested in and i okay so i think it was tucker carlson last year

00:40:25.020 and if it wasn't tucker it was joe rogan or lex friedman it was like a longer interview i think

00:40:32.460 it was tucker wow i okay so it started off and i was like oh let's see how long i can last i'll

00:40:39.980 be bored i know it it was one of the best interviews i ever heard and what he revealed

00:40:46.220 and the things he was talking about were so interesting. And I have so much sympathy for

00:40:51.940 him now because he was just shafted so bad. So I highly recommend you guys looking up the

00:40:59.920 Rod Blagojevich interview. I think it was with Tucker. So if you hate Tucker, you can just hold

00:41:06.260 your nose and listen to Rod. It was an amazing interview. It might've been Rogan too. Let me

00:41:12.260 to see if Akira is writing back to me. I cannot wait. So Akira the Don is here and, you know,

00:41:18.360 we play his, um, his amazing creations at the end of every show. And he has a new collab. I love

00:41:25.320 calling it a collab with Scott Adams today that he's going to debut here on the show. And Akira,

00:41:31.100 if you heard me, um, in the little box where your profile picture is, just click that little

00:41:37.180 burgundy button that little reddish button one is for your microphone one's for your camera

00:41:42.680 and that will enable them otherwise text me or call me and i'll walk you through it

00:41:48.260 and um in the meantime owen's going to give us some more news because uh we have we totally

00:41:54.040 i love it well i on the same sort of topic uh the harry enton which scott often like to

00:42:00.580 talk about uh is saying that the republican voter registration is way up in a lot of the

00:42:06.720 key swing states. So again, this is another sign that maybe things are not as bad as people make

00:42:11.940 it seem for midterms that the voter registration is really in our favor in a lot of the places

00:42:18.560 that matter. So kudos to Scott Pressler and all the other people that have been working really

00:42:22.480 hard on that. But it looks like the numbers are really pointing to having a big lead on getting

00:42:28.400 new voters registered. And that includes Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.

00:42:36.800 And so, you know, I think there, again, that's maybe a sign. It may or may not happen. So don't

00:42:42.020 get relaxed about it. But I think it could mean that we're going to see some more Republicans

00:42:46.380 voting than people were expecting in the polls. I call it, yeah, I call it the Scott Pressler

00:42:51.540 effect. I mean, I think he's inspired a lot of people to do that. You guys, what with my T's,

00:42:59.000 I'm sorry, getting Erica to pronounce T's is something scientists just haven't figured out

00:43:03.860 yet. SJV coming from you, that is rich with your accent, but I will work on my T's for all y'all.

00:43:12.120 Okay. That is hysterical. That was hysterical. Okay. So, Owen, keep going.

00:43:21.540 Well, apparently, uh, there, there was a sexual assault in a planet fitness with a trans sort 0.87

00:43:27.960 of thing. Um, you know, I think, uh, JK Rowling posted about it and said, it's kind of like the 0.98

00:43:34.140 thing that never happens that happened again. This is in Massachusetts. Um, police responded

00:43:39.340 in Cambridge to a sexual assault in progress at the planet fitness in Porter square.

00:43:45.280 And it looks like a man went into the women's locker room and sexually assaulted people. Um,

00:43:49.960 and so you know another instance of where someone just is a man in a woman's locker room and it's

00:43:58.060 not safe and um i don't know if it says for sure if this person was trans or not but it certainly

00:44:03.560 was a man that went into um the women's locker room and there was another incident like this

00:44:09.740 in 2023 where somebody um exposed themselves to a 15 year old girl and a 19 year old female

00:44:16.980 employee at another planet fitness. So it seems like planet fitness has some work to do to make

00:44:21.800 it safe for women. Can we just, just say it? I mean, this whole transgender thing, uh, switching

00:44:29.640 your gender, which you obviously it's impossible to do. Um, this is just a mental illness that 1.00

00:44:36.780 everybody has affirmed. I know this is like, duh, Erica, like we know we've talked about this,

00:44:41.680 But why do we keep pretending that this is okay and acceptable for a decent society? It's not.

00:44:51.080 And I'll say it as the token woman here right now. If I ever walked into a locker room,

00:44:58.440 a changing room, a woman's restroom, and there's a man in there, that's a fucking problem. I'm 0.99

00:45:05.120 sorry. I'm sorry. But if you're a woman, you're totally on board with what I'm saying. I don't

00:45:13.860 care if it's a slight man, a smaller man, you're still at a disadvantage as a woman. Okay. And

00:45:19.980 it's sick and gross is perverted. It's, it's uncivilized. And I'm so fricking sick of us, 0.97

00:45:27.180 you know, with this, this is another suicidal empathy of no, no, we have to, we have to say

00:45:32.940 it's okay. Like they're confused. Yeah. They're confused and they need mental health care and

00:45:38.640 good luck getting that too. Because now the mental health, uh, industry has become a bunch

00:45:43.420 of woke people that are like, yeah, you should transition. I mean, it's, it's just, it's just

00:45:49.260 crazy and it's dangerous. You know, yesterday I was at a store and I needed to use the restroom

00:45:55.660 and I'm like, you know what? I'm just not going in because I just don't know what I'm going to

00:45:59.300 face and I'm not going to put myself in that position. So I literally was just like, just

00:46:05.180 suck it up buttercup until you get home. But that was my thought that like, what if I go in there

00:46:09.680 and now there's a man in there? Literally, that was my thought. And you guys know, I'm, I ain't

00:46:13.600 no chicken, but I was like, I'm not doing it. So I don't know. I would, I would unjoin planet

00:46:22.900 fitness and, and move on to somewhere. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know why any women would

00:46:28.560 continue going there at this point, because it seems like they're taking a risk every 0.99

00:46:31.740 time they go into the changing room.

00:46:33.620 Yeah.

00:46:34.300 I mean, it's a sick, and these people are, you know, when you think about how small the 1.00

00:46:40.160 population of people who are pretending that they're transitioned is, and all of the accommodations 1.00

00:46:47.200 and disgusting things we've done to accommodate these mentally ill people, how many of them 0.97

00:46:55.400 are the ones that are that like uh some gender confused person just killed a woman hiking 0.96

00:47:02.840 because he said he was mad at her because he wants to look like her these people are the

00:47:08.420 ones shooting up schools not all of them you guys like we know but let's just i just i think this is

00:47:14.580 a perfect example of gad sad suicidal empathy where it's like oh we got to protect people's 0.51

00:47:19.660 feelings we got to make these trans people feel like they really are a woman and we need to all 0.78

00:47:23.860 basically pretend that we think they're a real woman and then we're going to treat them exactly 0.99

00:47:29.060 like we would treat a biological woman and so we can't tell them they can't go in the locker room 1.00

00:47:33.940 with the other women and we can't you know have separate bathrooms that are multi-gender that are 0.54

00:47:39.880 individual or whatever and um you know it just seems so absurd to me but the of course the 0.83

00:47:47.820 problem is maybe there are some trans people that would never do anything like that and you know

00:47:51.960 whatever. But it doesn't matter if there's others that are going to take advantage of this. You have

00:47:56.040 to have a system that works and this system does not work because you're, you're basically enabling

00:48:00.480 people who are sexual predators to have access to women and when they're taking off their clothes

00:48:05.520 and it's a private room where you're not necessarily going to have a lot of other 0.55

00:48:08.760 people around to see what's happening. Um, uh, it's a shame you guys, you know,

00:48:13.880 like think about it, you know, one day we're all going to be older or we have parents that are

00:48:20.320 older or grandparents, you know, your favorite aunt, your neighbor, they're going into these

00:48:25.860 bathrooms or these changing rooms. Um, you could be at a department store and who knows what you're

00:48:32.620 going to face. Right. And I hate to think about, I mean, I know this sounds crazy. And if anyone

00:48:38.860 has ever had this thought, let me know that I'm not the only crazy one, but you know, when my

00:48:43.480 father was like, let's say the last like five years of his life, he was in a lot of agony.

00:48:48.780 He had a lot of pain and issues. And I was always so afraid that he was going to be hurt by someone

00:48:56.680 like some deranged lunatic would like take out some issue on my dad and he wouldn't be able to

00:49:02.140 defend himself. And I didn't feel like that before in my life because I felt like people

00:49:07.180 were generally decent and our society was civil. And, you know, after he passed away and like the

00:49:14.540 dust settled. I was like, you know what? I had like this sense of relief that nothing would

00:49:21.660 happen to him now. Like this thing, like I worried every single day about the things that could

00:49:25.840 potentially happen to any, any older person, any senior. So I hate feeling that way in our own

00:49:32.800 country, but I do, I do. Um, chunks. Um, all right. So Akira text me back. I don't know if

00:49:41.080 heard me i see you sitting there but you don't have your camera or microphone on and i want to

00:49:48.840 help you i want and owen's just going to run out of news stories no we never run out of news we

00:49:53.560 never run out of news it's it's america um but oh and you just keep going all right well keeping

00:49:59.800 with that theme the trump administration is launching a federal probe into uh staff on

00:50:04.600 student sexual misconduct at new york city public schools so um apparently we're going to have some

00:50:10.680 some oversight over this, that apparently the Trump administration feels like there's

00:50:15.000 too much teachers being predators against students, and they're going to look at it

00:50:26.760 under the Title IX rules, and apparently they're saying the reports indicate there

00:50:31.800 have been almost 2,000 instances where school staff have done some sexual misconduct with

00:50:37.720 students. Um, so they're, they're going to be cracking down on that. Wait, did now I love

00:50:43.400 throwing curve balls. I like, did you guys see, and then Owen's like, Oh God, where is she going?

00:50:47.920 Um, did you guys see that a six year old shot his teacher? Yeah. Anyone see this as six year old?

00:50:57.720 And then there's like footage. Uh, he, I think he shot the shot. He shot a six year old shot his

00:51:04.580 teacher. And then you hear him just, you hear exactly where it came from. You can hear it's

00:51:12.000 like how he's treated at home. The stuff he was saying to her, zero regret, remorse. He was just

00:51:19.440 doubling down, cursing her out. The police were there. It was so sad and insane that this kid's

00:51:27.720 family obviously destroyed this kid's life. And, um, I don't know. I, I, I just, the schools are

00:51:35.760 insanity. It's like, I feel bad for these people that don't have like the safety of their school

00:51:40.960 of an education of a safe family. Uh, I don't know. Where was that? You guys? Um, somebody

00:51:49.840 wrote it. Uh, I don't know, but it's just really scary. I'll let, uh, Oh, what do I see? Erica

00:51:57.480 sees squirrels all the time sjv why do your comments stick out so hard for me it's so funny

00:52:04.280 um i looked at it for some reason today i can't even see the locals comments i see youtube and

00:52:09.800 rumble but i don't see locals okay well you should be um chastising chastising sjv later for me

00:52:18.280 okay so um oh and let's just let's just oh akira said he can hear us and see us but he's having an

00:52:24.920 audio issue and audio is going to be pretty important so we're going to hope he he uh gets

00:52:30.600 that resolved all right owen keep going all right well mem dami apparently has a plan to fight

00:52:36.360 anti-semitism and when they looked into it part of that plan is to double the funding for one of the

00:52:43.640 anti-jewish or anti-israel organizations that was previously led by linda sarsour who you might

00:52:49.880 recognize the name as one of the people that were was against jewish people pretty strongly

00:52:54.920 um and so it looks like this path organization which is partners against the hate supposedly

00:53:02.600 um they're allocating 6.4 million dollars to go to that which is double the program's funding from

00:53:09.160 the last year and they're they're partnered with uh the arab american association of new york which

00:53:16.320 are sore led for more than a decade uh they supported the columbia university gaza encampment

00:53:22.500 and a whole bunch of other anti-israel protests so apparently nam dami's definition of fighting

00:53:27.860 anti-semitism is to promote anti-semitism that's amazing that's amazing how that works where has

00:53:33.840 linda sarsour been not that i'm i don't want to like summon her like beetlejuice but she's a

00:53:38.920 problem for sure um oh that's that's that's so great that he wants to do that and you know he

00:53:44.040 made a comment uh yesterday about october 7th and i'm like please just don't just don't um but you

00:53:51.720 know, New York, you're stuck with him now. So Akira, Akira, if you can hear me, I'm going to

00:53:58.780 kick you out. I just kicked you out. And then I'm going to resend you a link and see if you can get 0.55

00:54:07.400 back in. You guys, we need our Akira. And Owen, you're just like Dan Rather today.

00:54:14.740 yeah it's all right um we like it i think uh there was apparently some uh report that came

00:54:24.360 out about how much fraud we've had and it apparently adds up to three trillion dollars

00:54:29.620 over the last 20 years or so i think it's through 2003 so maybe 25 years but yeah apparently the

00:54:36.040 this founding foundation for government accountability report uh says it's about

00:54:41.340 $3 trillion that have been lost to fraud. And that adds up to about $521 billion every year.

00:54:48.960 So it's about 7% of the federal budget. And I don't even know if that's all of it. I mean,

00:54:55.180 we're still finding more all the time. So it looks like only 64 out of 2,200 federal payment

00:55:02.420 programs are reviewed for improper payments every year. So there's just like no oversight. It's just

00:55:08.220 like sign the checks let it go don't even look at it don't even review it just you know spend the

00:55:13.620 money it's like what david spade was just saying it's like don't ask don't tell yeah it's probably

00:55:19.720 just as bad at the federal level or at least it was um as it was in california and i think um

00:55:26.400 you know i do think the trump administration is doing a lot more than anyone ever has in the past

00:55:30.440 to try and clean it up i think it started with doge so i would give elon musk some credit to

00:55:34.400 say this is ridiculous that you have these payments that aren't even categorized it doesn't

00:55:38.400 even say what it's for it's just a bunch of checks going out that are completely like just

00:55:42.240 you know we paid this much to this person and that's all it says and um you know i'm sure that

00:55:49.340 was probably a wake-up call that then got rolling into the vance anti-fraud task force and so i

00:55:54.620 think we're doing a lot to help with this but i'm sure we have a long way to go still and i'm guessing

00:56:00.780 And if we continue on this path, it'll be a lot higher than $3 trillion.

00:56:04.100 But this is a massive part of our budget.

00:56:06.420 I mean, 7% is pretty big when you're talking about the federal budget.

00:56:10.100 Yeah.

00:56:10.680 Wow.

00:56:11.120 I'd love to bring Doge back.

00:56:12.760 Why can't we just bring it back?

00:56:14.060 I know we have Vance's thing now.

00:56:17.100 And also, we have little mini Doges around like Nick Shirley.

00:56:22.980 But I think we should bring it back.

00:56:25.480 I don't know.

00:56:26.180 That's just me, you guys.

00:56:27.240 But a lot of stuff was found out when Elon started that.

00:56:30.780 and bless big balls and he got attacked. And that was awful. Like a shocking that Americans haven't 0.90

00:56:38.020 demanded answers and oversight so far. But now we're getting it. And it's like, if we, you know,

00:56:45.400 if we didn't see this happening now, would it ever have happened? I don't think so. And I think

00:56:49.680 you're right. Oh, and it started with Elon with Doge. And now it's like, wait a minute, what else

00:56:53.940 is happening? And people are digging in. And I know chunks, it feels like nobody's doing anything

00:56:59.660 about it now, but I think they are. Beverly says, we could bring Doge back. Enough time has passed. 0.79

00:57:08.060 Whoops, I lost it. It can be started up again for 90 days or so. I'm all for it. Let's see what

00:57:13.660 else we can dig up. Bring back big balls. Yes. Come on, big balls. Come back. Oh, you guys, 0.99

00:57:18.900 that was his username. He worked for Elon and his user handle was big balls. And he's like this 0.99

00:57:25.320 young guy who is just brilliant. They all worked so hard, the whole Doge team. I would love to see

00:57:31.640 it. Um, all right. Oh, and we got, so Akira, you guys, um, he's trying and trying. And I think

00:57:38.860 what we're going to do is just let him off the hook and ask him to come back tomorrow. So if

00:57:43.980 we're all okay with that, that way we'll have like the full chunk of time with Akira. So

00:57:48.800 Owen's going to close us out with a little bit more news and then we'll ask Akira to come back

00:57:53.340 tomorrow so all right well katie wilson everybody's favorite socialist mayor of seattle 0.93

00:57:59.560 um she's apparently endorsing claims that christian zionists and silicon valley billionaires

00:58:06.160 are trying to create a nuclear armageddon so that jews can profit off the gaza condos

00:58:10.940 um not really sure where this is coming from but apparently there was this presentation

00:58:18.040 included trump netanyahu musk zuckerberg and palantir and they think they're trying to create

00:58:23.460 this end times fascism and uh she's calling the war on gaza in gaza genocide and celebrating the

00:58:32.360 wto riots and doesn't happen to even mention october 7th as if that wasn't relevant to this 0.97

00:58:39.400 that's insane because she is insane she lives with her parents right 0.99

00:58:45.320 I don't know that, but I guess it would surprise me. 0.91

00:58:49.260 I think she's the one that lives with her parents still.

00:58:53.420 Oh, my gosh.

00:58:54.900 Again, another gorgeous state that's just like destroyed.

00:58:59.060 It's so sad.

00:59:00.480 Wow.

00:59:00.920 All right.

00:59:01.180 Oh, and let's see how much more you can do in three minutes.

00:59:03.180 This is fun.

00:59:03.880 I'm like, I'm loving this info.

00:59:05.720 It's so good.

00:59:06.280 All right.

00:59:06.600 Well, Gallup is telling us that the K to 12 satisfaction rate is at a record low. 0.89

00:59:12.620 It's lower than Cuba and communism. Apparently only 32% of American adults are satisfied with

00:59:19.420 the K-12 education system. It's the lowest in Gallup's 27 years of asking about it.

00:59:25.360 Dropped almost 20 points just since 2024. So it's tanking. And universities are saying that

00:59:33.200 students are going to college without basic math skills and the system is just trying to protect

00:59:37.580 itself. So education is just a disaster. Oh, it's so sad. It's so sad, you guys. I know the kids

00:59:48.240 can't read. They can't do math. Nobody can write anymore. It's so sad. Yeah, I'm dissatisfied on

00:59:57.400 behalf of parents and children everywhere. All right, Owen, who just said that? Goldie. Goldie's

01:00:04.180 like i love this format me too i feel like i'm reading i'm like reading the newspaper with owens

01:00:08.540 like owens just like and here take this well i know we're almost out of time one more maybe um

01:00:14.220 the ice has had some more successes getting rid of the worst of the worst um wait you said ice

01:00:21.000 ice yes okay which i which i which i would still suggest they change to nice you know but you know

01:00:28.080 if you have the national immigration customs enforcement or whatever that's called you know

01:00:33.120 that that would be good but um they apparently have rounded up a bunch of people again

01:00:37.040 including pedophiles and animal abusers um there's a bunch that were guilty of sexual assault

01:00:44.480 animal abuse drug charges one example was edis canales montoya of honduras he was convicted of 0.52

01:00:52.000 sexual conduct against a child there was another person um carlos artura zelaya argueta of el

01:01:00.300 Salvador, and he was apparently convicted of sexual abuse of an animal. So not sure what

01:01:05.440 happened there, but not good. And apparently there's a 1,600% increase in assaults against

01:01:11.660 ICE officers at the same time. So a lot of back and forth and conflict going on there. But looks

01:01:19.040 like we're getting rid of the worst of the worst. All right. So two of my least favorite types of

01:01:25.140 people are pedophiles and animal abusers. So let's go. Oh, and Stella's in here right on cue. How 0.99

01:01:31.240 does she know? Stella doesn't like it either. Stella doesn't like animal abuse. No, no. She 0.94

01:01:36.920 doesn't mind human abuse. Like when she meowed for an hour straight this morning, like straight, 1.00

01:01:43.880 like just, just into the ether. I'm like, what are we doing? I know that you want to eat and

01:01:48.440 I'll be there in a minute. Stella, come say hi. Come here. Okay. There she is. She's purring. 0.64

01:01:59.020 She's meowing. She doesn't know what's going on. So you guys, I know, isn't that crazy? She knows

01:02:04.420 she's hardwired, but she's like, your show's over lady. So I'm really sorry that Akira couldn't get

01:02:11.420 in today and he is too, but guess what? We get them tomorrow. We got a ton of news stories in

01:02:17.480 today. It was a lot of fun. And Marcella did have a meeting and she told me prior that she would be

01:02:50.840 weekend, which will be really nice. So that's actually, that's even better. It's a better way

01:02:54.420 to end the week. Owen, thank you. You're such a pro. This is why Owen's got all those news stories

01:03:36.360 T's when I start yelling at you with lots of words of T's in it.

01:05:37.120 think I would skip that. Owen, I don't know if you can stay. Stella said let's go. Let's do

01:05:45.300 for freedom. For freedom, here we go. Here are the other buttons, which are mostly self-explanatory,

01:06:04.840 but freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom. You could say,

01:06:11.040 would you like a bad life with freedom or a good life with no freedom the people takes a bad life

01:06:17.160 with freedom so if you ever have a chance to create a situation where you can offer someone

01:06:22.940 more freedom that's very powerful that's a button and you should get as much for yourself as you can

01:06:29.220 and you can use it as a tool to help other people get what they want because they will trade a lot

01:06:34.100 for freedom

01:06:36.520 because they will trade a lot

01:06:39.720 for freedom

01:06:42.120 people will trade a lot

01:06:45.020 for freedom

01:06:47.720 because they will trade a lot

01:06:50.880 for freedom

01:06:53.300 and freedom can come in the form of

01:06:55.660 getting money that gives you freedom

01:06:57.520 having a flexible schedule

01:06:59.500 that gives you freedom

01:07:00.240 being in the right kind of social situation

01:07:02.420 that gives you freedom

01:07:03.960 So there's lots of ways to get it.

01:07:06.680 Fear is a motivator.

01:07:08.140 I don't recommend using it unless you're trying to save somebody.

01:07:12.040 Yeah, you could use fear to keep them from smoking cigarettes, for example.

01:07:15.760 I wouldn't use this in the evil way.

01:07:18.060 Curiosity is one of the most important and overlooked buttons on the human interface.

01:07:23.860 You can see that authors that are good at it will make you curious at the end of a chapter

01:07:28.680 so that you'll want to keep reading.

01:07:33.080 so that you'll want to keep reading.

01:07:40.080 Building curiosity into things

01:07:42.300 is a really, really important button.

01:07:45.500 When you can doke somebody's curiosity,

01:07:48.340 you can really shape what they do

01:07:51.160 and you can shape your environment

01:07:52.640 through curiosity.

01:07:56.780 Very, very powerful.

01:07:59.520 But freedom is a big thing.

01:08:01.020 people will trade a lot for freedom they will train a lot for freedom people

01:08:13.280 will trade a lot for freedom they will train a lot for freedom

01:08:31.020 We wanted toな.

01:09:17.180 right tempo and music to scott's words so good owen yeah that's great he does you know he does

01:09:24.620 have a Prince-like capability where he's got really cool change-ups and different twists

01:09:34.040 to his songs. Sometimes it's like a little jazz change-up or that skipping repeat right

01:10:32.980 Do you hear her? No, you guys. For an hour this morning. This, for an hour.

01:10:39.780 I promise she's not starved. She's just, she knows she's my little princess because she's

01:10:47.860 old now and like a little sick and all that stuff, but she doesn't know she's sick, 0.86

01:10:51.620 but she just knows she can manipulate me and it works. What are you going to do?

01:10:55.440 All right. Love you guys. We'll see you tomorrow with Akira. And, um,

01:11:02.220 I fear the same thing, rambling Doug. I think the danger is people will trade freedom for

01:11:07.900 security, but we can't, we can't let them. We can't let them. Stella, Patty, literally all day
