00:01:23.700 in, I have a coffee update for you. I am so excited. Okay. Here's what you do. I've worked

00:01:32.280 it out. Obsessed. Okay. I heat my coffee cup with my little Insta hot. Then dump out the water.

00:01:40.120 I put water. Then I put in my Chobani creamer, but I only put in half the amount I would normally

00:01:47.560 put in. I heat the Chobani in the microwave for like 15 seconds so it's nice and hot.

00:01:54.160 Then I'm taking the peanut butter protein powder, the PB2 I think it's called, about a half a scoop

00:02:03.220 of the peanut butter protein powder into the hot creamer, frother, froth. It gets thick. And then

00:02:11.940 I pour the hot coffee on top and holy cow, it's the best coffee I've ever had. Thick, frothy,

00:02:19.980 hot, steamy, delightful. I'm obsessed. It's worth the effort, Sean. I mean, if you want the

00:02:28.020 satisfaction, Sean, you've got to put the effort in. I see you need help in that category. But yes,

00:02:33.220 worth the effort. So that was my coffee update. And Owen, I just want to give one more second

00:02:40.360 for Rumble. How's the stock market today? Well, I think what I saw was more of the

00:02:48.420 Indian stock market is just crashing. It's like apparently this H1B stuff that I think we're

00:02:56.060 going to talk about in a little while is having a big impact where they're now really thinking

00:03:00.320 Maybe there's going to be a big cut in terms of H-1Bs and kind of indicates how they perceive that as being a big part of their economy with all the remittances and things going back there.

00:03:11.760 And I know on our side, there was a big announcement that Elon Musk was going to become a major, Starlink was going to become a major carrier, that he was buying some additional bandwidth and satellites to become a major phone carrier.

00:03:28.600 and apparently all the other carriers took a big hit so um but i'm looking at i'm looking at the

00:03:36.140 s&p 500 and we're we're up a little bit so it seems like overall we're doing fine all right

00:03:41.180 so to every um visa person which we will talk about later in india and now you're going to

00:03:47.640 stay home to you i say good okay we're full all right listen let's have a sip that was mean but

00:03:54.240 not. Here we go. But you're going to feel better after the simultaneous sip, and all you need is

00:04:00.900 a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:04:07.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the dopamine hit of the day.

00:04:15.620 The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous sip,

00:04:20.020 and it will even remove

00:04:22.380 fraud from the election.

00:04:24.300 Just watch. Go.

00:04:29.240 Ah.

00:04:33.320 Ah.

00:04:34.600 I love how we're right on trend.

00:04:36.480 It's going to remove fraud from the election,

00:04:38.200 Marcella. I'm excited about that.

00:04:39.900 How's your coffee, Marcella? Good?

00:04:42.700 Awesome.

00:04:44.560 Amazing.

00:04:45.820 No fraud in my coffee, by the way.

00:04:48.300 Fraud? The frog?

00:04:50.020 and no fraud oh fraud every time i hear the word fraud i think about the frog now

00:04:56.720 no frog in her coffee either hopefully there is one yeah it's el salvadorian uh technique to put

00:05:05.560 a frog in your coffee okay so you guys welcome to the scott adams school it's friday yay and um

00:05:12.160 because there was a little difficulty on akira's end yesterday unfortunately with his sound but

00:05:18.340 fortunately he's figured it out. He's going to join us later in the show to premiere his new

00:05:24.460 Scott Adams collab. So that's going to be fun. It's called Nobody Cares. Nobody Cares. And I

00:05:31.480 love that because the song is accurate. So before we get to Akira, we thought we would do some news

00:05:47.000 time to micro somebody asked actually somebody didn't ask somebody told me that they were uh on

00:06:26.480 the skilled trades.

00:06:27.900 How about that hair, huh?

00:06:29.600 Well, it took a while, but 15 years later, the feds got back to me.

00:08:13.380 all right who's gonna join and become a whistleblower that's the reason i could see

00:08:27.020 marcella in the fbi uh marcella would you know wouldn't do it not at all how come i wouldn't

00:08:36.480 work for the government any i i once worked for the government and once i worked for them i

00:08:42.540 realize never again not for you like independent thinking and a lot of the jobs i would be able to

00:08:50.820 get i could not be on social media i wouldn't be able to have free speech oh okay so yeah

00:08:57.700 all right owen would you do it i kind of feel the same way about the government but only because of

00:09:03.960 my personal experience as well like i i did a brief stint very brief like a few weeks on a

00:09:09.840 consulting project for the government it actually was for the department of online security and um

00:09:14.400 it was the most depressed consulting team i have ever seen wow and i think it was all because the

00:09:21.320 government was just like not cooperating with the project and not giving them all the information

00:09:25.440 they needed and arguing about who should be in charge and it was just like chaos it was like i

00:09:31.420 mean i say chaos i mean it was very orderly chaos but it was just you know it just made me think oh

00:09:38.580 wow, this is really different than working in the commercial sector. And, you know, the other

00:09:44.840 experiences I've had have been people within companies I worked for that were government

00:09:50.940 aligned, I guess, you know, we have a lot of the companies I've worked for have government service

00:09:56.000 lines where they specifically work for state and federal government agencies. And I guess I'll just

00:10:02.880 say they're not the same people um it's just different and not you know when i would bring

00:10:09.860 them onto a commercial project they just didn't seem to know how to do it and um i you know i

00:10:15.500 don't fault them personally because they were just a product of their experience and the job

00:10:19.680 they were asked to do but it just seemed like the things that i would expect of a consultant

00:10:25.120 just weren't there and um it you know it created a few situations where we had to kind of clean up

00:10:32.960 the mess and all these things and and again those aren't government people but that i think it's

00:10:37.080 because they were working with government people and it just seems very bureaucratic like an example

00:10:42.180 is you know you have to only charge the standard 40 hours a week even if you have to work more than

00:10:47.240 that because that's just how the contracts are written and it's just no fbi for you what i would

00:10:52.840 say for me if i would work for the fbi if they had the x files yes if they really had an x files

00:11:04.280 wouldn't you own you could be molder and i'll be scully you'd have to have full access to all the

00:11:12.680 secret ufo files well the thing is they will tell us we have access to all the files but you know

00:11:20.840 know that we'll know if you did if you disappear suddenly that's how you know who knew and then

00:11:28.560 there's the what's that can't cancer man he's the one that would meet them in the dark corner

00:11:34.560 uh with smoking cigarettes you know i i love it i if if that was really how the fbi works

00:11:43.520 i would totally work for them but yeah it often like attorneys you see on tv often things aren't

00:11:51.160 what they are like what you see on tv aren't really what it is like to be an attorney or to

00:11:59.000 work for the fbi but maybe just maybe we're telling ahead of it sure it's better than it was

00:12:06.000 but i just i think and i think i don't mean to like put it down for everybody like i think there

00:12:11.640 are certain people that would thrive in that environment and would like the structure and

00:12:15.740 would like the just the way it operates you know the pace whatever might be different there

00:12:20.640 you know i i've been working most of my career and so i'm in a field where like you work lots

00:12:27.020 of overtime you have to travel a lot you know you have to do a lot of stuff that a lot of people

00:12:31.860 would hate doing and it's it is very hard especially if you have that so like government

00:12:36.900 i think does give you a lot of stability a lot of great benefits a lot of other things

00:12:40.920 that are valuable to people.

00:12:42.560 Did I say cancer men, you guys?

00:12:44.900 Yeah.

00:12:45.120 I meant smoking.

00:12:48.900 I like cancer, man.

00:12:50.520 That was good.

00:12:51.460 We all got it.

00:12:53.280 Oh, boy.

00:12:54.700 All right.

00:12:55.580 He did get cancer at the end, didn't he?

00:12:58.400 I don't know.

00:12:59.300 Wasn't he like having one of those esophagus things

00:13:01.480 where like he was speaking through his neck?

00:13:04.300 Yeah.

00:13:05.100 Oh, gosh.

00:13:05.920 All right.

00:13:06.260 So we'll move on.

00:13:06.720 Spoilers for the people that haven't watched X-Files

00:13:09.120 that will now tune in.

00:13:10.920 to cancer man if you haven't watched x-files by now i'm not gonna worry about spoilers no

00:13:15.500 all right so i'm gonna move on also i want to talk about i'm like all right all right with

00:13:21.120 cancer man let's keep going um cancer man's amazing by the way erica never mentioned whether

00:13:26.080 she would work for the fbi because she does work i'm just kidding marcella i told you not to say

00:13:32.280 anything um so would i i i probably would have a long time ago not now but that's that was like

00:13:42.420 right up my alley and thinking because i was thinking of the tv fbi that's the one i wanted

00:13:47.000 to work for okay so skid row marcella i mean ooh scott is gonna like this story and we are gonna

00:13:55.820 show it to you let's take a listen well we're told this is part of a four-month undercover

00:14:02.260 operation targeting drug dealers on Skid Row. Look right now we'll show you people being arrested

00:14:06.500 here. This is an infamous site for not only drug use but homelessness as well. And that gentleman

00:14:10.900 you just saw being walked away, we actually saw large wads of cash being pulled from his pocket.

00:14:15.860 You could see some of it being processed here on scene. I asked the FBI what that means seeing

00:14:20.260 these huge wads of cash. They said it probably means they're in the right location. So federal

00:14:24.580 agents including the FBI, DEA, U.S. Attorney's Office and LAPD, hundreds of agents around us

00:14:30.180 right now people being arrested on site and of course also lots of dogs and animals you can see

00:14:35.380 these caged dogs in the distance that's also become a very disturbing and hot topic here

00:14:40.580 on skid row i want to bring in right now kenny cooper he's the special agent in charge of the

00:14:45.460 atf here in los angeles kenny what does it mean when you see drugs uh wads of cash and actually

00:14:50.900 i just saw a handgun being removed from a tent right near us yeah it's hard to believe this has

00:14:55.540 happening in America. This feels like a third world country right now. So that's the expertise

00:15:00.980 that we're here to provide. How are these violent gang offenders with multi-convictions,

00:15:07.040 felony convictions, how are they obtaining their firearms to identify who's conducting the

00:15:11.440 shootings to protect their drug trafficking, the rival gang shooting, witnesses being shot in the

00:15:17.180 crossfire. So to identify those trigger pullers and to identify the sources of supply to the

00:15:22.780 firearms that are being funneled into this area for this open-air drug trafficking offense.

00:15:28.840 Thank you, Kenny. Thank you very much.

00:15:29.860 Now, this all began before sunrise around 5 o'clock this morning.

00:15:32.840 We were actually embedded with federal agents as they detained people at what's being described as a drug house or a stash house as well.

00:15:41.080 There are 28 people expected to be arrested.

00:15:43.520 As part is the county-wide bus here today.

00:15:46.340 We're told at this hour, 14 out of 28 suspects are in custody.

00:15:50.920 44 search warrants throughout the city. So this, we're told, is targeting people who sell fentanyl

00:15:58.480 and meth to violent drug users here on the street. And federal agents I've been talking to say

00:16:02.680 they believe that these drug dealers are actually targeting people who get federal funds here. So

00:16:09.220 they come down here specifically on the day that people get their government check. Back to you

00:16:12.400 guys okay so if we were federal agents maybe we'd be on that so marcella what are you know

00:16:20.040 legally so they have all these warrants out now um what do you think will happen with these people

00:16:27.800 like will they go to jail will they be asked to like narc out other people um and that's pretty

00:16:35.600 disgusting what they found and what's happening they will definitely i mean if there's evidence

00:16:40.660 to prosecute them.

00:16:43.620 Federal prosecution is highly successful.

00:16:48.180 It's like 80%, 90%, I don't know,

00:16:52.060 of federal cases that are prosecuted

00:16:54.340 or basically they're found guilty,

00:16:58.040 but they have more resources

00:17:01.220 than a state district attorney's office and all that.

00:17:05.700 So those are federal crimes you see, FBI, DEA.

00:17:10.660 ETF. So it's good that they're going there. Again, elections matter. Once Trump is not in office,

00:17:20.000 if there's a Democrat, it goes back to the same thing again. And basically one of the things that

00:17:28.700 when you walk by, let's get real, because I've walked by there and it's like a different whole

00:17:36.500 world like nobody does anything about it there's basically you see them selling and doing and

00:17:44.340 shooting up and all sorts of things the animal abuse is out of proportions um i wish they would

00:17:51.380 live stream all of that like when they go after them kind of like they're live streaming someone's

00:17:58.580 execution i i think it's needed one of the things that in Latin America they do differently than

00:18:04.020 here and not i'm not saying not america is good but they're quite stronger on punishment because

00:18:12.260 of the type of the amount of crime is that they'll per walk someone and show them to the tv and

00:18:19.780 they'll put all of this thing on the front news they'll put it everywhere in a city where the

00:18:27.300 the picture of the person so even though in america you're you're innocent until proven

00:18:33.780 guilty and all of them are innocent to proven guilty they still need to make it be look at

00:18:39.300 these people look at what we're doing so that people are afraid to break the law

00:18:46.820 i just want to put my two cents in about the animal abuse that's happening you guys you don't

00:18:52.580 even want to know what they're doing to these animals it's it's not like they're their friends

00:18:56.740 and their companions they're they're doing i don't don't say any of it you guys but they're

00:19:01.140 doing horrific things to these animals um owen um it's hard to believe this is america but

00:19:07.980 unfortunately this is going on in so many places well it's going on in certain places i mean i

00:19:14.880 would say a lot of this has to do with just the fact that they tolerate it i mean the the skid row

00:19:19.500 wouldn't exist if they cleaned it up and took the people away and they wouldn't have all this crime

00:19:23.940 if they arrested the people that were doing it.

00:19:26.100 And clearly they have very little, if any, policing of all of this stuff.

00:19:30.460 And there certainly are local police and state police that could have been handling this,

00:19:35.800 but it wasn't until the feds came in that anything's being done about it.

00:19:39.600 And I would imagine that if there was any way California could stop the feds from coming in,

00:19:43.860 they would have.

00:19:44.980 So I think it's a very deliberate strategy on the part of California and LA specifically

00:19:50.280 to say, we're going to set up this open air drug market environment. We're going to allow that to

00:19:55.000 happen. And we're not going to say anything or do anything about it. We're just going to pretend

00:19:59.220 it's not happening and just let it go. And I think that's what needs to stop. I think, you know,

00:20:05.400 I hope that California comes to their senses and makes a leadership change that will make some of

00:20:10.380 those changes happen. But in the meantime, I'm glad that the feds are stepping in to make a

00:20:14.400 difference. I don't know how much of this is a political statement versus, you know, actual like

00:20:20.280 attempt to reduce the crime but either way i'm for it and i hope it continues yes jim wyman that

00:20:27.920 was skid row in uh los angeles which you know used to be a couple of blocks and now how big

00:20:33.600 is it now marcella it's like huge well you you used to contain all the homeless in first street

00:20:41.200 third street san pedro street or whatever it's like small area but it was filled with homeless

00:20:49.760 But now it's not just the downtown area of Los Angeles.

00:20:55.740 It's all of Los Angeles.

00:20:57.320 You're seeing that in Santa Monica.

00:20:59.000 You're seeing that in Venice.

00:21:00.100 You're seeing that in West LA.

00:21:03.880 You have it everywhere.

00:21:05.520 So that's changed.

00:21:07.360 And you see it in other cities outside of Los Angeles because it's been allowed.

00:21:12.520 A lot of the homeless, if you ask them, they come from different states, different countries, just to be homeless somewhere.

00:21:19.040 right like they have a visa homeless visa i think and meanwhile california is spending billions on

00:21:24.720 supposedly tackling the homeless problem and they have a luxury tower for themselves and they're

00:21:28.960 building these massive really fancy places that i'm sure are costing a fortune to build per unit

00:21:35.120 and it's all sorts of money is flowing to whoever's getting that but it's not actually making

00:21:40.160 a difference well and i played the clip yesterday of david spade saying that you know they wanted to

00:21:45.280 everybody wanted to open an investigation into where's the money for the homeless going and what

00:21:50.160 did gavin newsom say no we're not doing an investigation you will not know so i don't know

00:21:57.200 i mean um everything looks like it's by design because if it's not by design it's an ego maniacal

00:22:06.320 problem that gavin newsom has and and the other people that work under him um that they just

00:22:13.120 they just can't admit that they're doing anything wrong like nothing to see here no there's a lot

00:22:17.280 to see there there's a lot of money and waste and fraud and you know this guy wants to be the

00:22:23.680 president of america imagine what would what it would look like then so i'm sure karen bass will

00:22:29.440 handle it yeah yeah yeah her or nithia either one they're so qualified for sure very sad but i'm

00:22:36.480 glad to see this bust i mean it's just a little glimmer of just good i mean it's not going to

00:22:42.800 solve any problems but good um all right so let's keep moving before akira gets here so jd vance

00:22:50.320 and marco rubio are both doing such good auditions for president i'm loving both of their work so

00:22:58.880 um yesterday we showed you uh marco rubio in greece and today we're gonna we're gonna show you

00:23:05.760 J.D. Vance and some of the things he's talking about with his task forces. But let's first

00:23:13.000 talk about, since Marcella mentioned homeless visas, let's talk about real visas and how they

00:23:19.300 work out. Let's see what, Stella wants to hear it too. Let's see what Vance says.

00:23:25.100 In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees earn an average of over $26 an hour.

00:23:33.100 Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields like software development and information technology.

00:23:48.900 If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you're making $48,000 less

00:24:00.600 than an American citizen in a similar position. So I'm sure that everybody here understands the

00:24:05.480 game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, 0.98

00:24:09.300 you lay off American workers, and if you're a corporation, you make a ton of money by

00:24:14.420 undercutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn't 0.69

00:24:20.060 be in the United States of America to begin with. This is a terribly pernicious system. 0.67

00:24:26.060 It's gone on for too long. And we'd all encourage, by the way, Congress to do something about it.

00:24:30.520 But there are things within our authority under the law, our regulatory authorities and

00:24:35.840 administration to fix this problem. And that's exactly what we're going to do.

00:24:39.500 I want to make one final announcement here, because while we see a lot of H-1B visa fraud,

00:24:43.260 we also see a lot of J-1 visa fraud. And this is where some of America's most elite universities

00:24:49.380 bring in foreigners, again, to undercut the wages of American residents. Now, there are nine 1.00

00:24:54.720 universities in particular that we believe merit an investigation. Those universities are Harvard,

00:25:00.900 Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State,

00:25:06.420 and MIT. And what we see is that when you employ an American worker as a graduate student, 0.53

00:25:12.020 as a researcher, they're making about $20,000 more than someone brought in under a J-1 visa.

00:25:18.400 And importantly, these universities are employing J-1 visas for federally funded grants at a rate

00:25:23.920 of about 61%. The national average is 38%. So something weird is going on at these universities.

00:25:29.760 They're using these visas way too much. They're using them to undercut the wages of American grad

00:25:34.780 students and American researchers, and it simply has to stop. Let me make one final point before

00:25:39.880 i turn it over to keith this is a okay we lost the final point but i love those guys standing

00:25:46.100 behind him like blanche and miller i'm like yeah that's my kind of mob um so owen what everything 0.97

00:25:52.840 it to put it mildly is fake and gay i mean everything in this country is fraud oh it's 0.99

00:25:59.100 so disgusting is that what permission pernicious means fake and gay yes fake and gay everything 1.00

00:26:04.780 It's just like, God, is anything for real? Is anything legit? It does not seem that way. 0.99

00:26:10.620 And I'm glad that they're going into the universities because it's complete fraud,

00:26:16.420 highway robbery and indoctrination. And it's disgusting. And they're just doing what 0.99

00:26:21.920 foreign countries want them to do, in my opinion, allegedly, allegedly, Marcella. 0.58

00:26:26.380 So I agree. I mean, I think it's sort of, I mean, I've been saying for a long time that

00:26:31.240 American universities should be primarily for Americans. I'm not saying we should necessarily

00:26:35.360 have a total 100% ban on letting any foreigners come here to do that, but it certainly does seem 0.99

00:26:41.800 like it's way beyond what it should in terms of percentages of foreign students. And I've

00:26:47.360 experienced it personally where my son didn't get accepted to my own state college and had to pay

00:26:53.720 out-of-state tuition, which literally cost me probably over $100,000. And I'm sure if I looked

00:27:02.700 at who went there, it's probably full of foreigners that were coming here. And part of it is that they

00:27:09.160 get more money because they'll pay full tuition or whatever. But it also means that these people

00:27:14.260 are coming in to get visas and to end up taking the jobs that people like my son would otherwise

00:27:19.480 have. And so it's definitely displacing American workers and reducing opportunities and reducing

00:27:27.020 wages. That's the other thing. I mean, unemployment is down pretty low right now. So it's not

00:27:31.420 necessarily like we need to, you know, consider that a crisis. But I do think the wages are one 0.97

00:27:38.160 of the other things too, because the more you change that supply and demand curve for American

00:27:42.340 workers, the more wages are going to go up and people are going to have more affordability and

00:27:46.280 a better a better life and so i definitely think it's depressing the wages that are paid to american

00:27:53.080 workers in addition to just reducing the opportunities for jobs all right yeah i would

00:27:58.040 agree with that marcella um i would just say you know part of it is the h-1b visa was only set out

00:28:09.480 for specialty occupations um for for jobs where you didn't have that particular person in america

00:28:20.200 like you you might have like 10 astrophysicists but you you already have all of them employed

00:28:28.440 and you need that three astrophysicists in my office so there's no one i could find that's

00:28:34.840 kind of and it's become something it's morphed into oh we want to get free or cheap labor

00:28:44.280 which actually doesn't work for the immigrant worker visa worker and it doesn't work for 0.54

00:28:50.280 americans either the immigrant worker that comes here they are very limited in what they can do

00:28:57.800 and they get paid a lot less than their other counterparts and they are more in fear of their 0.64

00:29:03.000 job because if they lose their job, they get to go back to their country and have to move

00:29:09.040 their family again.

00:29:10.620 And so a lot of the things that maybe the office does, their business or whatever they're

00:29:15.220 working, they kind of look the other way.

00:29:18.720 So you could even say there's been a lot of such SA cases and things like that. 0.99

00:29:26.680 So it's not good for anyone.

00:29:29.060 mm-hmm that's been allowed to happen enforcement should be there um it's like they just rubber

00:29:37.520 stamp any anything that comes in okay okay okay you come in you come in and it's not it's not

00:29:43.220 appropriate it's not legal so when i say h1b visas aren't supposed to be this way so i like the fact

00:29:51.460 that jd vans and the administration is enforcing the law and looking further into it than just

00:29:57.680 rubber stamping everything that these corporations do and the other thing is looking into these um

00:30:05.520 the next thing they need to look at is what Owen was talking about uh about this whole scheme 0.93

00:30:10.900 of having foreign students come to the university where they hardly speak English and then they

00:30:20.960 are there as they tell me because they're paying a whole lot more oh i i got in but um i'm paying um

00:30:30.240 like a regular student in like whatever school it is i don't want to mention it is like 60 000

00:30:37.200 they're paying 80 000 and cash like i mean they have to they pay everything and so they're it's

00:30:44.320 just a they're milking all of this it's like an industrial complex of all all of these people it's

00:30:50.160 just fraud the fraud industrial complex yeah the visa fraud is sick what do they say like 81 million

00:30:58.000 visas or uh work visas had happened and then they're like but did those people ever go back

00:31:03.600 home i don't know but they even exist i mean i don't know yeah and in theory in theory the system

00:31:10.800 says okay you have to like offer the job and advertise it and see if you can get any american

00:31:16.800 workers but they totally exploit that they come up with these no-name job websites where they'll

00:31:22.360 publish it in some obscure place or they're literally like still use classified ads or

00:31:26.400 whatever like places that you would never find the job ad and then they'll say okay we ran that for a 0.98

00:31:31.300 few weeks and we couldn't find anyone so now we can hire the h1b and you can tell that they're 1.00

00:31:35.000 doing it on purpose they're trying not to get anyone to apply to the jobs just so they can 0.96

00:31:39.060 check the box and say we tried and it's all it's all fraud it's all just okay i'm checking the box

00:31:45.620 So I can say I follow the law, but really they're doing everything they can to skirt around the law.

00:31:50.220 Right.

00:31:51.700 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:52.360 No, everything is fake and gay. 0.98

00:31:54.500 Okay, let's do one more thing from J.D. Vance, Vice President Vance. 0.96

00:32:00.500 Same setup, same awesome mob behind him.

00:32:03.460 Love this mob squad.

00:32:04.980 And it's just in line with what we're talking about, and it'll just tack on beautifully.

00:32:10.660 Let's take a listen.

00:32:11.380 The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a federal program used by companies to sponsor foreign workers for green cards.

00:32:19.420 So here's the deal.

00:32:20.740 The VP, J.D. Vance, accuses Microsoft of abusing the system, saying that the company laid off 6,000 American workers while obtaining, get this, 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards.

00:32:36.620 Vance says, hold on, the administration wants companies to hire more American workers.

00:32:41.140 Here's part of Vance's remarks, have a look.

00:32:43.400 We have decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft, which means they will no longer be able to apply.

00:32:51.620 They'll no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States of America.

00:32:58.740 Now, our message to Microsoft and to any other foreign or domestic corporation is quite simple.

00:33:03.640 We obviously want you to thrive in the United States of America.

00:33:06.060 We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the American technology

00:33:11.180 sector. We are the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to continue to grow and

00:33:16.160 to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers. And so our message to

00:33:20.700 Microsoft is you're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers.

00:33:27.540 Dang straight. So can the fraud issue? Giddy up, JD, giddy up. Okay. So that just kind of

00:33:33.980 ties into everything we were just saying, Marcella.

00:33:37.400 Yeah, no, I mean, if Microsoft is laying off six, whatever, the same amount of numbers,

00:33:44.320 the H-1B visa, I can only imagine that they just want to reduce the cost of labor. I mean,

00:33:52.380 I don't know if the H-1B visa employees or something were specialized and this other

00:33:59.000 people that were laid off was a different job they they should not even get the ability to have

00:34:04.760 have uh these visas they should take it away um and if if no for no other reason to re-examine

00:34:14.200 the program or at least look at the program altogether um there's a lot of fraud by attorneys

00:34:21.640 i would have to say there was like a criminal case against one of these attorneys in la

00:34:25.960 that she was just they were just doing all this immigration visa stuff all fraudulent um from

00:34:33.260 india from china from all russia wherever it was um but i give it to jd vance for

00:34:43.600 uh doing a great job for todd blanche to do a great job and steven miller and i think they

00:34:51.260 just need to keep at it and put pressure in these companies to not break the law but besides

00:34:57.420 microsoft there's many others that need to be oh yeah yeah yeah i think they're making an example

00:35:03.340 of them and i think they're trying to send that message and certainly as we mentioned earlier

00:35:08.140 it's being received in india and i think um you know it's just been exploited left and right and

00:35:14.060 scott would always tell us you know the system is what it does and if people wanted to change

00:35:19.980 the system they would have so for a long time they've just let this go the way it is and let

00:35:25.660 companies get away with this and until now nothing's been done to change it so i'm glad to see

00:35:31.100 the advances trying to really make a difference here and to to crack down on this and um i'm all

00:35:38.060 for saying you know let's start with microsoft but like marcella said let's keep going if we have to

00:35:42.940 crack down with them i'll join the team for free yeah if they let them crack down on some of these

00:35:48.540 people except the three astrophysicists in your office except those oh my gosh um you know and

00:35:56.340 did you guys see i i didn't pull it because i didn't know if we'd have time or not but you

00:36:00.360 know nick this it just continues to piss me off like nick shirley today i saw a video where he

00:36:06.040 was exposing gosh where was it you guys i know some of you saw in the chat but he he was exposing 0.71

00:36:12.320 again, all foreigners, no one's speaking English. I think they were either like, 1.00

00:36:17.780 I don't want to get the group wrong, but they were like maybe Filipinos, something. I'm not sure,

00:36:25.280 but it was a whole food stamp scam, EBT, whatever we call it, SNAP. And so this woman showed them

00:36:33.800 she's right in there with everybody. They go over to some fish market somewhere.

00:36:39.380 you pick up a can of spam on the shelf so spam is the signal and um you put you bring the spam to

00:36:48.060 the counter and she bought like a little thing of sushi and so the register rings her up 120

00:36:54.880 they give them 120 they're just funneling the money so like she's buying something for five

00:37:01.400 dollars she's they're charging her 120 and then they're banking the money and it just there's

00:37:07.720 another scam that i i don't know if nick has done this um the other scam if you go um if any of you

00:37:15.640 want to look out for this uh the first of the month when ebt stamp you know money from food

00:37:23.600 stamps comes out um go to costco especially costco or go to like a big supermarket like walmart

00:37:32.040 watch out for people buying tons of products like like 20 milk milk or 30 or whatever it is like

00:37:40.180 or water or chips or anything that you see tons of it and then they pay with an ebt card what

00:37:48.680 they're doing is they're taking that to their own supermarket or store or liquor store and they're

00:37:54.860 reselling it and the reason why they have an ebt card is because maybe their wife maybe their second

00:38:00.980 wife, maybe their third wife has it. Um, and so they're able to use EBT money to out, to use it

00:38:09.840 for their own business. They don't really need it. So I'm going to say something revolutionary here

00:38:17.680 might get me in trouble, but can everybody that's here, just go back to your own country and figure

00:38:24.020 it out because this is so unfair. It is so unfair. And, you know, we all understand how

00:38:31.420 the food stamp started. It was, it was a way to make, um, back in the day, black people become 1.00

00:38:38.060 dependent on the government. That's all it was about to, to get a vote. And it was supposed to 0.84

00:38:43.540 be temporary. And, you know, here we are now with foreigners crashing the party and just grifting 1.00

00:38:51.480 off of every middle-class, hardworking person I'm going to single out because the middle-class 1.00

00:38:57.860 gets pounced on constantly. And we're going to see our futures disappear because we have to fund

00:39:06.440 all of the fake and gay fraud in this country. I'm so sick of it, you guys. I'm so, so sick of 1.00

00:39:11.760 it. Holy cow. All right. So let me... Oh, and if you have a news story by any chance queued up for

00:39:19.160 us. That would be amazing. Or Marcella. And I'm going to check in with Akira and see if we're

00:39:23.980 ready to go. For 50 years, Canadians have wondered what the names of IKEA furniture mean.

00:39:29.840 Like Natopa, the guardrail for children's beds. Natopa means giving your favorite person room to

00:39:36.500 grow. It means their safety and your piece of... No. In Swedish, Natopa means night monkey.

00:39:43.500 mom he's back ikea 50 years of swedishness at home look he's wearing little pajamas so cute 0.91

00:39:54.660 well following the same fraud theme i would say the there's a in maine they have a bunch of

00:40:02.180 medicaid mills where they're doing supposedly home health uh looks like they took in this this

00:40:07.440 place i think is it it seems to be called legit home health care which i think would be a simulation

00:40:14.420 alert um and they took seven million one hundred thousand dollars or so from main care over five

00:40:22.220 years from 2019 to 2024 and they build i think 6.95 million um across 8 000 claims 15 minute

00:40:30.900 increments uh and then community home health care of south portland received 47 almost 48 million

00:40:37.840 from main care about the same time frame and there's all these allegations of fraud where

00:40:42.480 they basically weren't delivering any of these services i think this has to do with the

00:40:46.080 you know like adult home health care sort of stuff but um yeah it looks like maine is just

00:40:52.620 rampant with fraud um blaze media i think where blaze news was investigating this and walking

00:40:58.600 through portland maine looking at these places then they would find empty offices just nothing

00:41:04.240 going on um so fraud is everywhere and it's not just in you know the few places we hear about

00:41:11.840 the most it seems like it's all across the country even beautiful maine akira's ready um maine please

00:41:17.800 maine get it together i love you so much and coincidentally i think maine has the highest

00:41:23.080 suicide raid on the East Coast. Just a little fun fact I read last night. And also there's like

00:41:29.140 massive drug stuff going on in Maine. I forget the guy, but he was like going through this

00:41:35.080 beautiful park and it was like a drug den and people shooting up. And I'm like, what is happening?

00:41:40.960 Okay. So listen, you guys, let me reconfigure ourselves. Give me one second because Akira

00:41:48.240 is here ah that was funny okay let me bring in akira

00:41:53.680 it's a body up in here so working yeah look at that oh my goodness welcome akira we're so excited

00:42:11.340 it works it works i love it when it works like let me bring akira up a little higher

00:43:27.500 so, so freaking talented. And I love when you're singing in the background. You really do have a

00:43:32.940 voice of an angel i love it maybe i'm biased but i love it maybe you're biased maybe you're right

00:43:38.440 uh the bias thing if you recall um that's what scott said that was his quote which i've put if

00:43:45.340 you get the cd of the last album it's got a big pull quote from scott so this is great quote

00:43:50.260 which was um maybe i'm biased but this is amazing or something like that yes let me have a look i

00:43:57.040 could see it he freaking loved when you started making your meaningwave.com music oh yes marcella

00:44:05.700 she's partying with us i love it yeah you said i might be biased but this is a masterpiece

00:44:11.620 is what he said as it says there in the quote and he was right i mean yeah he's not wrong

00:44:17.280 he was usually right yes seldom remember that not being the case

00:44:21.960 mm-hmm owen even dances you you can't really tell he moves very slightly when are you going

00:44:28.020 to become a vtuber when are you going to become a vtuber this i'm working on it it's 2026 there

00:44:41.240 ai bot army is working on but the the goal is to get to where i'll be able to focus on that but

00:44:46.120 it'll be coming soon because i didn't i have noticed that you are you do have an army it's

00:44:51.780 important to have an army in these days when you can and uh and i was wondering why you're not using

00:44:57.440 a section of that army to create you an incredible vtubing apparatus that's the yeah it's just i

00:45:03.840 need to take down my software factory for maybe a couple of days to do a bunch of training and

00:45:08.920 other stuff and i've just been trying to get to the point where it's actually working first and

00:45:12.980 I think I'm almost there, so I should be able to do it soon.

00:45:15.500 All right, Owen.

00:45:16.180 What are you doing with your army, Owen?

00:45:19.040 Well, right now, the software factory is building itself, but I'm also building what I'm calling

00:45:25.060 a second brain, which is kind of like a work assistant sort of thing, but it keeps track

00:45:29.320 of everything I need to do.

00:45:30.480 It keeps track of all the meetings that I have.

00:45:33.660 It keeps track of all my emails and everything else and just keeps me organized and helps

00:45:38.320 me do all my work.

00:45:39.100 and I'm hoping I can essentially get to the point

00:45:41.420 where most of it's just on autopilot.

00:45:44.380 We'll see how far I get with it.

00:45:45.900 It's already doing a lot for me

00:45:47.780 and it's probably only 10% live.

00:45:50.240 So I'm really encouraged to see where it goes from there.

00:45:53.860 Yeah, it's a miracle.

00:45:54.620 I'm so happy at the moment.

00:45:55.720 I have not been on like levels of

00:45:58.320 I love living in the future,

00:46:01.840 this kind of viscerally rabid since like Napster era.

00:46:06.660 It just, because it just got to the point

00:46:08.240 in the past few weeks for a long time it was like yeah okay theoretically this could be cool

00:46:11.980 but it became incredibly useful and practical for me just in the past couple of weeks

00:46:16.220 it's suddenly got very good at computer use it suddenly got very good at checking its own

00:46:22.000 mistakes and now loads of the things that are not the things that god put me on this earth to do

00:46:28.080 which would drive me fucking crazy like uploading files and filling in forms and adding metadata to 0.91

00:46:33.640 the back end of this and and all the stuff to do with running a record label that is very annoying 0.93

00:46:38.640 it can i've been teaching my robot armies to do these things now and it does it so well and it

00:46:45.040 makes me so happy i feel i might burst i might cry sometimes last night i was i was doing the stuff

00:46:51.680 for the new scott song i was like okay execute this protocol he goes this is this is done check

00:46:56.620 oh and he did it right just stuff like i write a blog post it like takes it and formats it and

00:47:02.340 puts it on youtube it puts it on the website and it puts the thing there and i've done my artwork

00:47:06.260 and it reconfigures it in different sites and it uploads it there and uploads that and this might

00:47:10.740 sound tedious to some people but to me it is revolutionary and life-changing and it has allowed

00:47:15.260 me to make more stuff i've made more music videos in the past two weeks than i made in the past two

00:47:20.280 months just because i suddenly wow had more capacity to do such things good for us too yeah

00:47:26.680 i love that everybody needs your h1b h1b visa worker you can just have your ai agent

00:47:33.380 exactly well well that is actually true though that's the funny thing is the sorts of people

00:47:42.580 that companies would be hiring to save money and not have to hire actual americans a lot of those

00:47:47.660 jobs are the sort of things that the robot armies can do already i'm pretty sure let alone in two

00:47:54.960 weeks let alone in two months and lord knows what the world looks like in two years oh gosh don't

00:48:00.380 even make me think about it i wouldn't even bother uh-uh i can't really like why bother

00:48:05.940 we're in we're in the moment of steam this is the point where you go from a trackable fluid

00:48:10.700 culture where you can kind of see what people are inventing and you go okay now that's been

00:48:14.500 invented that might lead to that and you can you can like steve jobs with the iphone go okay we've

00:48:19.140 got like a five eight year roadmap of releases we're now at the point where so much has been

00:48:22.820 created at this second right now there's like 500 variations of photoshop being deployed and like

00:48:29.220 7 000 like increments upon that and every aspect of of the world you can think of this is happening

00:48:35.860 again it's steam it's untrackable a single human can't do it the people i pity most at this moment

00:48:40.900 in time are those people who try and have youtube channels that tell you what's going on with ai

00:48:45.220 because it's like you make a video at nine in the morning and it's out of date by seven minutes past

00:48:49.300 night it's like how when we try to update you on the war in iran we can't because there's nothing

00:48:54.960 to say um i have an army of one chester everybody in watching are you guys ready to dance because

00:49:10.020 we're gonna we're gonna hear some good music here i know we're gonna we're gonna do like a sway

00:49:15.500 first we're gonna sway we're gonna sway with this wins in this one like i had like the image of my

00:49:22.840 mind of uh which i'm working on the music video and that's coming but the image in my mind i had

00:49:27.380 of a sort of um lone person dancing in a sort of like beautiful david lynchian sort of a

00:49:36.060 bar slash ballroom um under a spotlight as the rest of the world sort of collapses

00:49:42.200 into infinity and um anyway that sounds wonderful i love it yeah set it up for us tell us tell us

00:49:49.740 why this uh it's called nobody cares but tell us why you picked this particular uh monologue of

00:49:57.640 scott i have a i just have a bunch uh this was from oh god what was the number of the episode

00:50:03.900 three thousand and three or something there was one episode he did right at the end and um i was

00:50:09.780 pretty sure that he did it for me and i think we all feel felt used to feel that way anyway be like

00:50:14.780 right this one was for me but this one really was for me because this one was basically like

00:50:18.500 four albums worth of material that was all gold and you could see him being very pleased with

00:50:23.040 himself every time he unleashed each one he's like boom another one boom banger boom smash hit boom

00:50:28.420 and um so just from that alone i i have this huge pile of stuff to of of sort of gold to use

00:50:38.200 and uh i just finished working on the new neville goddard album like last week or something like

00:50:44.780 very very very recently and it's a beautifully incredible glorious masterpiece and i was very

00:50:49.840 pleased with it and i finished it like one in the morning and at that point you would normally go

00:50:54.020 okay i'm gonna go you know sit down lie down i don't know have a beverage uh instead i i went

00:51:03.680 oh what was that scott thing and a couple of hours later i sort of emerged blinking going what just 0.78

00:51:09.300 fucking happened again and uh i had not planned to make a scott song or any song at all at that 0.57

00:51:14.220 moment but i got whacked upside the head with this lightning bolt of inspiration i suddenly had this 0.97

00:51:18.360 like thought of a uh a sort of string thick sound and uh anyway and then the song was born i was

00:51:25.740 like well i better put that out very quick because inspiration is perishable when you have your

00:51:30.560 inspiration do it right then and there have you ever heard uh david lynch talking about if you

00:51:36.160 uh there's all these clips of him and he says it over and over in multiple interviews over

00:51:40.160 multiple years he's like if you if you forget an idea if you have an idea and you forget that idea

00:51:45.840 you must write the idea down because if you forget the idea it will lead to suicide you

00:51:50.560 want to blow your brains out you have to write down the idea it's true they say keep a pen and

00:51:57.360 paper next to your bed too just in case you must yes you must all right so good or the fbi listening

00:52:03.940 to your through the phone usually yeah maybe you can just ask your agent to write it down for you

00:52:10.120 exactly whether you're you're you're bot agent or your fbi agent i wake up in the morning i pick up

00:52:16.260 my phone i say hi fbi hi british intelligence have a lovely day thank you for all you're doing

00:52:24.440 it's true me safe and i hope you enjoy my activities today if i could bring you a box

00:52:30.660 of donuts i would but just imagine i am yes yes for sure all right so let's do it you guys so

00:52:37.500 this one is called nobody cares and um you know what we'll turn off our cameras for the song so

00:52:43.180 akira has the stage and we'll come back when the song ends okay but you guys better be swaying over

00:52:49.000 there yeah we want to see you swaying in the chat here we go

00:52:51.320 all right it's not music it's music plus

00:52:58.440 akira um here's one i've been hearing other people talk about this more as well

00:53:08.280 because once you hear it is so useful you'll end up saying the same thing

00:53:12.140 the usual frame and we all fall into this is that everybody's thinking about us

00:53:18.820 you ever think that you think oh my god they're judging me they're thinking about that mistake

00:53:25.360 i made they're watching me nobody's watching you nobody cares yeah maybe if you're i don't

00:53:32.880 in grade or something, but if you're an adult.

00:54:02.880 people aren't really paying too much attention to you so as soon as you imagine that other people

00:54:08.240 care probably not about whatever it is you're worrying about i mean they might care in various

00:54:13.920 ways but not about whatever you're threatened about they're not thinking about you at all

00:54:20.160 once you realize that people don't really think about you it really makes everything easier

00:54:24.720 you won't get embarrassed you know even if you didn't get embarrassed you'd be like okay they

00:54:30.240 They will care about that for 10, 9, 8, 6, done.

00:54:34.820 You might care about it for longer, but you don't need to, because they don't care.

00:54:38.200 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:43.480 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:45.900 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:49.300 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:52.040 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:55.340 Nobody's watching you.

00:54:57.140 Nobody cares.

00:55:00.240 Nobody's watching you

00:55:07.240 Nobody's watching you

00:55:13.240 Nobody's watching you

00:55:19.240 Nobody cares

00:55:23.240 Nobody cares

00:55:25.240 If they don't care, why would you care?

00:55:28.240 nastily excited so nobody cares it's easier yeah obviously your loved ones care about you

00:55:36.640 but your critics i'm not really thinking about you too much

00:55:58.240 it's not music it's music plus

00:56:08.700 nobody's watching you with the immortal scott adams uh a perennially crucial

00:56:22.680 thing to be aware of i would say beautiful

00:56:27.320 it's one of them it's a perennially crucial thing to be aware of that it's important to

00:56:35.820 remind yourself of which is one of the reasons i make some certain songs there's certain things

00:56:40.620 you like well duh and humans have this funny way of like once you work something out or learn

00:56:45.060 something you then almost feel like you always knew it and to even mention it to somebody else

00:56:50.460 would be ridiculous because of course everybody knows that it's this weird thing that humans do

00:56:54.740 so a lot of the songs i make are sort of reminders of crucial foundational um

00:57:00.940 truths of being or navigating this particular realm and that's one of them that's one of them

00:57:09.780 and you know i can remember going through something that you know could have been seemed

00:57:14.880 like, oh my God, this is so scandalous. And people were like, oh my God, aren't you worried

00:57:21.580 about what people are thinking? And I'm like, no one's thinking about me. They might think about

00:57:27.440 the situation, but then tomorrow some other stupid gossip comes up and then it'll be that thing. So 1.00

00:57:33.340 it's like, don't flatter yourself. Nobody's thinking about you that hard. It's like,

00:57:38.740 if they are, then they're just bored. But really, I try to tell this to people all the time. I'm

00:57:44.260 like just live your life to your fullest don't worry about even even if someone is thinking about

00:57:50.160 you it's none of your business what they're thinking so i love i love that scott would

00:57:54.980 remind us um of situations like that and owen and marcella marcella were you swaying back there with

00:58:01.040 us i was but i kept saying nobody's watching you except every except the government

00:58:07.700 but again so like on that one uh i remember talking with a friend of mine who's a comic

00:58:16.600 book writer called grant morrison about this and he was like yeah but the thing with that is like

00:58:20.000 they could have a million cameras but like and they could pay a million guys to sit there on

00:58:24.900 the cameras watching you but like at some point those guys are going to go take a dump or jack

00:58:28.820 off or something or get bought it's like they can't they like no individual person can possibly

00:58:35.620 do that or care to do that you know that because if you go to anywhere late at night where they

00:58:40.760 have a security guy they're always on their phone or whatever like no one's paying attention

00:58:43.920 so anything they're supposed to be paying attention to so you can go okay well

00:58:47.420 yeah robot overlords then but well technically that's not nobody and uh so that's the ai agents

00:58:54.020 don't take a dump they don't care right but they don't care either yeah i've instructed you're

00:59:00.700 to poop and i think what what scott meant is like um i think he talked about how to like when you go 0.72

00:59:10.140 to a party and you might not know someone and you're all nervous like nobody's watching you

00:59:15.660 nobody's like really paying attention oh yeah that person and then they're back to their own movie

00:59:23.100 yeah the star of their own movie they're living in their movie they're not watching your movie

00:59:27.340 they're not like watching your soap opera they're not focused on you they're focused on themselves

00:59:31.740 even those sorts of people who seem to be you've got people who seem to be obsessed with you but

00:59:37.020 even they're only spending a tiny fraction of their movie on you and the tiny fraction of

00:59:42.780 their movie that they're spending on you is purely about validating themselves and making themselves

00:59:47.180 feel powerful or useful or something and it's actually got nothing to do with you anyway

00:59:50.860 like beverly just said basket case i mean we're everyone's is a basket case um except except us

01:00:00.020 you know oh yeah right yes exactly we're amazing

01:00:02.980 um owen are kit do you have to run i'm not sure i'm okay okay good all right so akira oh it's not

01:00:13.380 there it's his bot army you would never know because he hasn't even animated his picture

01:00:17.340 i'm not really sure if it's owen yeah i might never be owen oh yeah how do we know it's you

01:00:23.620 owen you don't you don't know it owen could have like he could have been replaced by something

01:00:29.440 a long time ago oh he's an indian word so i know it's yeah no it is me but i suppose there's no

01:00:39.380 way for you to know that for sure i think um the ai voice stuff is getting pretty impressive too

01:00:44.640 you can clone somebody pretty easily like just a few seconds and it can give a pretty convincing

01:00:48.960 uh rendition of somebody talking but i think it probably at this point isn't quite there like we

01:00:54.640 did that story of maybe a week ago or so about that griffin or whatever yeah and you know that

01:01:00.700 even that i think has some you can kind of tell still kind of but like you know my my my uh my

01:01:08.160 nan wouldn't have been able to tell yeah the part that i think is the hardest is the intonation and

01:01:14.180 the sentiments like feeling you know the the things you naturally just put in your voice

01:01:18.680 you kind of have to still tell it what to do with that and it so it takes a lot of work to

01:01:24.480 say okay i want you to put a little bit more emphasis on this syllable or you know be happier

01:01:30.320 or whatever and that's a little harder i think for ai to do but um i think it's getting there

01:01:36.380 so any one of these things it's like this is it's just a matter of time and the matter of time is

01:01:41.240 tiny like i remember a couple years ago and remember when the images started rolling out

01:01:48.420 in like 21 22 and you'd have the grid of four images it was around the will smith eating

01:01:53.280 spaghetti era and they just look like kind of like crazy demonic impressionist like splat cartoon

01:01:59.260 things and it's like ha ha ha we'll be fine and uh google put out their first little music model

01:02:04.620 and we all listened to it i think i listened to it on stream and it was just so silly and

01:02:08.920 plinky-blank, I was like, yeah, I think we'll all be fine for now.

01:02:11.640 Zoom.

01:02:12.840 Five minutes later, if you're like, OK, yeah.

01:02:17.000 Like anything where you're like, oh, yeah, it's a bit of work on that.

01:02:20.200 They're not quite there yet.

01:02:21.120 Well, go to sleep and you might wake up and they might be there.

01:02:23.720 So like that's the kind of way one should be thinking.

01:02:26.440 I think most people have no idea how how real this is, like what it really

01:02:32.440 means how uh how how inset this is as far as and i pay attention to all this stuff and as far as i

01:02:40.240 can tell this is by far the most significant advancement in sort of uh domestic tech since

01:02:46.780 napster era by far you kind of had this big bump and suddenly it's like oh internet and now people

01:02:52.820 have got internet and then you start seeing the repercussions of what that means as people start

01:02:57.040 getting used to it it starts to roll out into their lives and it takes a while it took till

01:03:00.920 like the late 2000s so it was like almost like a decade for it to really start to filter into sort

01:03:06.980 of like the normie universe in a full way um but this is that on on steroids and crack

01:03:14.080 what do you think of ai music i think anything is like a tool i think for me because i do music

01:03:22.320 i can hear every aspect um and for me it got it better i think it has but i don't know i think it

01:03:29.060 plateaued i think it got to a point that was quite cool and it was quite exciting because like

01:03:32.540 suddenly you could sort of like conjure up um ideas uh ai has been in music for a long time

01:03:40.160 like people get confused they think ai just just got invented but we've been using large language

01:03:44.820 models in music for a long time to do all sorts of cool things like uh when i speak i can move

01:03:52.340 frequencies the same as my voice out of the way of the music and thus uh make the vocal more clear

01:03:58.420 and things of that nature so there's been ai stuff within music for ages and like the capacity to go

01:04:04.160 oh what would this sound like if it was a completely different genre or something

01:04:07.900 or to create like a sample of a record that doesn't exist to chop up pieces of and things

01:04:13.440 like that uh that all that is very exciting again it's not quite there yet but it will be

01:04:20.060 you know it will be and it's it's like a directional thing there's this the argument

01:04:24.900 about slop and this that and the off this that and the other and the difference between someone

01:04:30.660 just saying a thing with a prompt and then that existing versus somebody using a thing to

01:04:37.220 really use it to get as close as possible to their actual vision blah blah blah blah blah

01:04:42.500 you think it has to be a human to create it scott was of the mind um that real art real music

01:04:50.820 it had to be human by but created by a human um for because the feelings uh ai wouldn't get that

01:05:00.220 um things like that yeah i mean well the i like i was saying so i can tell right

01:05:07.680 so i can tell if i think bjork when i remember bjork once saying like 91 because we were having

01:05:14.680 this con not 91 it was in 97 we had this conversation around that time when people

01:05:19.120 started using DAWs to produce music, which means digital audio workstation. And people started

01:05:25.240 using computers. I was making music on computers. A lot of people thought that was sacrilege. You

01:05:30.100 could never get real music out of a computer. And I remember Bjork saying, ha ha ha, silly. 0.98

01:05:35.120 They say there is no soul in the music that is made on the computer, but that is because nobody

01:05:39.600 put it there. So it's like, yeah, you put it there. So that's the intentional thing, right?

01:05:44.980 so it doesn't matter what tool you're using if you put soul into it there will come a point because

01:05:49.620 we have this whole thing because of the way we've evolved that we need to be touching things for it

01:05:54.240 to be legitimate so if i touch a button then i touch the button and it's real but if i dictate

01:05:59.980 the button if i say this knob here if i've got this knob and if i turn this with my hand and you

01:06:06.840 see me turn that it's like yeah he's feeling the music it's real but if in my mind i'm doing exactly

01:06:12.280 the same thing but because it's my mind and i know exactly what i want it would actually be

01:06:17.240 better and closer to my soul um some would say that was not real they would think that's not

01:06:24.740 real you're not really doing it you didn't even do anything you didn't even push a button you

01:06:27.660 just thought a thing but my thought because it was directional um did did transmute and

01:06:34.700 communicate not just my soul but what i always call what i like to call the byzantine conduit

01:06:39.780 of my being which is every single thing i ever went through every conversation i had every person

01:06:45.580 i met every movie i watched all of that contributes to the byzantine conduit through which the my soul

01:06:51.260 through which the will of god whatever you might want to call it travels so everything that comes

01:06:56.820 out of that that like deliberately or even some or even accidentally contains the business that

01:07:02.700 every aspect of that byzantine conduit and that could have only come through me it couldn't come

01:07:06.920 through you because you didn't do all the things I did and have the experiences I did so therefore

01:07:11.660 tldr if what you're doing is an uncompromised expression of your being whatever tool you're

01:07:19.040 using that soul will come through right you're still creating it oh yeah yeah if it is and this

01:07:26.820 is why I say so like uncompromised is the key there because if it's compromised if you're like

01:07:33.240 okay, but somebody, if I do this, they might judge me. Or if I do this, my record label might

01:07:37.920 drop me. Or if I do this, like bad thing, that's a compromised version that's going to have less

01:07:43.380 of the truth in it. And that's why we have so much bad music and bad art, because it's made

01:07:47.880 by these committees of people who are not doing it because it's an expression of their being.

01:07:51.640 They're doing it for a desired result, whether that's being paid, being seen to have the right

01:07:57.660 opinion, achieve the right end goal of controlling somebody or whatever it is. That's why so much

01:08:02.400 art is not art and uh I imagine computers could put more soul in it than a lot of the stuff that

01:08:08.080 we've been suffering on a corporate level my whole life I'd say the same goes for I was just thinking

01:08:14.280 uh somebody was just saying how like Justin Bieber I guess sold his catalog he's like get

01:08:19.820 off my back like I want to do my own thing and now he's like back on YouTube and like making his

01:08:25.320 music and now I'm sure feels like a true artist again he's not working for the man and same thing

01:08:32.060 with uh media you know we always talk about the news being fake and gay and then look at all the

01:08:37.480 people that were like i'm out of here i can't do the corporate thing anymore and now you're getting

01:08:41.400 like so much more of a bouquet of facts allegedly and you know you're not like beholden to an idea

01:08:49.360 yeah or an outcome like people are free to express themselves so i say take the chains off and use

01:08:56.920 whatever tools you have and be free for sure unleash yourself free

01:09:02.400 freedom we love freedom um akira can you tell the fine sippers where they can find your music

01:12:21.200 Isn't that amazing?

01:12:22.140 What a wonderful world.

01:12:24.320 I'm very excited at the moment.

01:12:25.620 I am too, I am too.

01:12:26.460 I'm just like full-blown just,

01:12:27.540 I mean, I'm always on the side of optimism

01:12:30.360 because I've just found it over my life

01:12:32.380 to be more practical and have better results.

01:12:35.740 And I find that people who are optimistic do better.

01:12:39.220 Everybody I know who's ever built or achieved anything

01:12:41.360 tends to be relatively optimistic.

01:12:43.680 I've always been very optimistic.

01:12:45.360 Contrary to whatever was going on,

01:12:47.420 even when I was young and homeless

01:12:48.740 everything was was very scary uh i was very optimistic and i turned out to be correcting

01:12:54.780 my optimism because everything turned out great and it starts with what akira your thoughts and

01:12:59.600 the way you uh like the way you think and the way you you talk to yourself and you know it's like

01:13:06.000 our uh our conscious mind our subconscious mind like we don't it doesn't understand sarcasm or

01:13:12.800 it's very literal so if you're going to ask negative questions you're going to get your you

01:13:18.080 know, why does this keep happening to me? Okay, well, let me show you why. And it's going to keep

01:13:22.500 giving you that. But if you're like, oh, like I'm going to turn this around and I'm going to try new

01:13:27.540 stuff, then it's like, you're not going to keep getting that bombardment. So if you don't like

01:13:31.660 the results, ask better questions, ask positive questions, reframe the things that you're thinking

01:13:38.360 and doing. So the results coming back will be positive, enlightening, evolving, instead of

01:13:45.300 staying in the same rut um so it starts with your thoughts you guys and and i mean that's literally

01:13:50.680 what the new album i the new neville goddard album uh is called talking to ourselves oh it's

01:13:58.300 specifically about the internal monologue about self-talk about the power of that about how that

01:14:05.740 works how to use it and how that creates the world um how jesus told us that that was the case

01:14:13.840 Marcus Aurelius told us that was the case.

01:14:15.900 Everyone who's been here and really paid attention

01:14:17.780 has come to that same conclusion.

01:14:19.980 It's one of those themes that you find across.

01:14:22.200 One of the things I've been doing with Meaning Wave all these years

01:14:24.380 is going, okay, here's a subject.

01:14:26.640 Let's look at this subject from myriad points of view,

01:14:29.440 and then we can see an area,

01:14:31.500 the areas where they all cross over,

01:14:33.400 no matter what their background.

01:14:35.220 There are areas where Alan Watts and Ayn Rand and Marcus Aurelius

01:14:39.120 and even Noam Chomsky agree.

01:14:41.720 and come into points of noticing something to be.

01:14:45.540 And when you see something from myriad points of view

01:14:48.140 being the case, then you can know that's true.

01:14:50.900 That's how you can, you know, the whole,

01:14:52.540 if the news are fake, imagine history.

01:14:55.220 You go, well, how can you trust any history?

01:14:57.420 Well, one way you can trust history

01:14:58.660 is to see if you've got multiple accounts of it

01:15:00.520 from different parts of the world sometimes.

01:15:02.760 If you can, you know, verify from multiple sources

01:15:06.200 that are disconnected, then you can go,

01:15:09.480 okay, maybe that happened.

01:15:10.360 because we are now in that place as i'm sure you've been discussing people are increasingly

01:15:16.920 finding it hard to know what's real what's not real i would say that's always been the case

01:15:21.460 but people just thought they could believe things previously yeah and now people are more aware that

01:15:28.260 they should be questioning things now everyone listening to this right now please give a thumbs

01:15:33.400 up a heart a like um look we have akira the dawn on live with us with his whole setup which is

01:15:41.260 quite complicated looking and better him than us uh and it and a tambourine i mean it's a very

01:15:47.920 complicated thing it's every i'm telling you um so you need a cowbell right i have a cowbell

01:15:54.700 do you i'm pretty sure i did have a cowbell oh my god more cowbell please more cowbell

01:16:01.040 yeah i have a cowbell and a spoon and a spoon well so to hit the cowbell someone sent me this

01:16:16.760 yoga bowls where are you not here but i do like those they're very nice if you've ever played

01:16:22.700 with a yoga bowl oh my god i don't know what they're called i was in i was up a mountain in

01:16:27.920 singing bowl yeah they're very nice anyway

01:16:31.540 anyway yeah marcel's gonna be like do you have a tuba and then he's like hang on and he comes

01:16:39.520 out with a big tuba do you have an orchestra yeah i do i do i've got it oh it's a miracle

01:16:46.800 um so i'm gonna recommend you guys every day we play akira and he's just got all that music

01:16:55.420 out there for you just waiting so please if you're on x go over to there on akira the dawn

01:17:02.500 on his profile there's a little dollar sign at the top um if there's anyone's work you like you

01:17:08.500 know just a couple of dollars erica has one too i mean hello um give a little tip to akira you know

01:17:16.500 if you're so inclined or buy his buy a cd buy maracas this is a little shaker you could it's

01:17:23.960 in the maracas family i guess oh but yeah you see it's important to have these things out of

01:17:29.300 control that's what i was saying so me and my son were talking about this like i'm very excited

01:17:33.460 about future stuff i always have been i was super excited when i could first record a song on a

01:17:37.960 computer and i didn't have to go into a studio and pay thousands of dollars i was very excited

01:17:42.520 when i could um i used to make my own fanzines and photocopy them and then a few years later the

01:17:47.200 internet was invented and i could upload i could make my own website i was so excited i get very

01:17:51.900 excited about all this stuff and at the same time it's very important to have one foot in the future

01:17:56.860 and one foot in the past that is the analog past that we know to be real and that is how you walk

01:18:03.980 right when you're walking you've got your foot and it's on the ground which you could consider

01:18:08.160 to be the analog past which we know works and is great and then you step one foot forward into that

01:18:13.760 uncertain future right and then you land and that's how you keep walking that's what people do

01:18:19.060 so one foot in order which is that past one in chaos between order and chaos that is the ultimate

01:18:26.500 that's the perfect place for a human to be and so personally i have shakers and i have maracas and i

01:18:32.060 have analog keyboards and things and i also have all these computers and stuff and i have this

01:18:37.700 don'tron here um conjuring up dreams and imaginations for me and all these things

01:18:43.080 and between this this is how humans have always existed and always should we are we are what do

01:18:49.560 you call it we are as john viveki said we are natural born cyborgs we always happen ever since 0.98

01:18:54.660 we picked up a rock that was our first technology we said hey rock what the fuck and uh we could use 0.97

01:19:01.640 this rock to draw a smiley face in the wall or create a hunting plan for the tribe we could use 0.92

01:19:06.000 the rock to cave in the skull of the guy who's currently leading the tribe always our technology

01:19:10.640 has had the same capacity for creation as it has for destruction that is our story and it always

01:19:16.700 will be and uh i'm perfectly fine with that personally actually i'm very excited about it

01:19:20.900 all so there i love that so you guys i'm not playing an akira song today on the way out when

01:19:27.760 we leave akira is gonna do an akira song like amazing like a little live concert for you

01:20:01.540 on my lip of course because my cats just attacked me um and then also um what was i going to say

01:20:08.720 Oh, so next week we have a couple, we have a guest.

01:20:13.400 I don't want to say a couple, but we do have a guest and it'll be a fun, fun week.

01:20:17.160 We'll be back Monday with the home team.

01:20:19.680 And as always, we say thank you to Scott and Shelly for allowing this Scott Adams School

01:20:26.000 to be here, exist, and actually thrive, you guys, and actually thrive.

01:20:29.940 So thank you everybody for showing up.

01:20:31.840 and um let's always have one closing sip to the inspiration for all of this and to akira

01:20:39.640 um his inspo for all this great meaning wave music uh to our beloved scott adams to scott

01:20:48.260 i was thinking that it is it is incredible so prince did that thing where he associated the

01:20:57.160 color purple with himself right purple you think of prince genius persuasion move scott uh connected

01:21:04.640 the very act of drinking that's right it's literally the case and i don't know about how

01:21:10.260 many of you have this to be the case but it's literally the case that whenever i'm sipping

01:21:13.460 and i'm like aware that i'm sipping i think of scott which is ridiculous because how how often

01:21:19.660 is that yes i know and so that really is one of the greatest kind of like uh claiming of a thing

01:21:26.140 to associate it with yourself i've ever come across yes it has zero negative connotations

01:21:32.380 it's something that you do every day and i do this a lot now like if i'm with friends at a table and

01:21:38.440 we're gonna have a toast i'm like hey all you need is and i go into the whole thing and then we do

01:21:44.340 the simultaneous sip so they love that do all your friends love that they love it they're just like

01:21:48.720 Oh, like she has a whole thing she's saying.

01:21:50.720 Yeah, they love it.

01:21:54.040 All right, Akira, play us out.

01:21:59.260 Oh, yeah.

01:22:00.340 Oh, yeah.

01:22:06.600 It's not music.

01:22:10.100 It's music plus.

01:22:11.440 How do you like being criticized?

01:22:15.620 You hate it, don't you?

01:22:16.540 don't you hate getting criticized everybody it's not something you can enjoy

01:22:23.080 here's a reframe for you every criticism you receive just play this sound effect when you get

01:22:32.700 you just made money do you know why i say that

01:23:02.700 Because you just made money.

01:23:04.700 It's true.

01:23:05.700 If somebody criticizes my live stream,

01:23:08.700 the biggest criticism I'm hearing is that my shelves are boring.

01:23:14.700 Now, do I feel good that you're telling me that there's something about my thing that I do every day?

01:23:20.700 Is it good?

01:23:22.700 No.

01:23:24.700 Nobody likes to be criticized.

01:23:26.700 It's not like you can enjoy it.

01:23:28.700 But how do I receive it? 0.99

01:23:31.080 Do I receive it as, oh, I guess I suck. 0.99

01:23:35.220 I could, right? 0.98

01:23:36.880 How easily could I receive a criticism like that as, like, that? 1.00

01:23:40.300 God, I'm an idiot. 1.00

01:23:41.720 Why did I see it? 1.00

01:23:42.840 Obviously, those shells need something on them.

01:23:45.720 That'd be really easy for them.

01:23:47.440 I don't.

01:23:49.720 Here's how I hear it.

01:23:50.900 I'm like, stretching.

01:23:56.220 Stretching.

01:23:58.700 Catching, catching, catching, catching, catching, catching, catching, catching, exactly what

01:24:11.080 to change to do a better job, because you told me, that's like money, if somebody hands

01:24:17.520 you a thing that will definitely make you money, what is your feeling about it, do you

01:24:23.740 I feel, oh, I hate it when people give me a thing that makes me make money.

01:24:29.980 But most of you think exactly that.

01:24:32.660 You think I hate criticism.

01:24:35.100 Not me.

01:24:36.560 Years ago, when people would criticize my comic, I would hate it, of course.

01:24:43.080 But then I would say, oh, a lot of people are saying the same thing.

01:24:46.580 So I'll change it.

01:24:47.820 And then I would make that.

01:24:48.600 I don't really get a grin.

01:24:53.740 by being criticized and understanding the criticism as

01:25:23.740 Every time I hear one, I say, wait a minute, you just told me you have to get richer.

01:25:28.000 The same applies if you're not trying to get rich.

01:25:30.140 Suppose you just wanted a better social life.

01:25:32.560 The best advice somebody gave me was the gruelest thing anybody ever said.

01:25:36.780 One day, my female friend told me how negative and what a bummer it was to listen to me because I was complaining about stuff all the time.

01:25:43.320 Now, I was not aware that I was a big complainant.

01:25:46.160 I had no idea.

01:25:47.200 I thought I was a person who talked about my day and the funny parts of this.

01:25:50.820 So in my mind, I had no idea that I was having an effect on other people.

01:25:55.360 Once I learned that, do you know how powerful that was?

01:25:58.460 I was able, because it was something I could change.

01:26:01.100 I would become aware of the ratio of negative things I said positive.

01:26:04.340 It was probably the most important change I've ever made to my social toolbox.

01:26:11.160 I would say that that one change really, really changed my life.

01:26:20.820 Thank you.

01:26:50.820 that's the that's the refrain so the next time you get criticized whether personally

01:27:00.800 or whether professionally say to yourself

01:27:05.280 judging just try it like actually say that that little uh sound

01:27:14.460 I'm not figuratively. I'm not talking figuratively. I mean actually saying that.

01:27:23.080 Cha-ching.

01:27:26.280 What do you hear? 1.00

01:27:30.740 What do you hear?

01:27:31.780 What do you hear?

01:27:40.400 Akira! Akira!

01:27:42.840 Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Let's go!

01:27:48.840 I'm going to go, you guys, to have court in three minutes. 0.58

01:27:54.840 We need an encore. Bye, Marcella.

01:28:02.840 That one is great.

01:28:04.840 We love it. We love it.

01:28:08.840 Are we getting an encore?

01:28:12.620 You want an encore?

01:28:13.580 Yeah, we want an encore.

01:28:15.400 Thanks, you guys.

01:28:30.180 All right.

01:28:32.460 Here's one.

01:28:33.880 How many of you have ever thought

01:28:35.340 or maybe gagged when you heard somebody else say it?

01:28:38.840 that they were trying to find themselves.

01:28:40.840 I need to find myself.

01:28:43.840 I need to figure out who I am.

01:28:48.840 Bad idea.

01:28:52.840 Here's a reframe.

01:28:54.840 Instead of being an explorer and trying to figure out who you are,

01:29:00.840 how about authoring yourself to be what you want to be?

01:29:04.840 You can author your situation.

01:29:07.840 You don't have to discover who you are.

01:29:12.600 You can make yourself who you want to be.

01:29:17.420 Authors.

01:29:25.100 Authors.

01:29:28.540 Instead of finding yourself,

01:29:31.360 Authors.

01:29:33.320 That's one of the great things about human life,

01:29:36.520 is that you don't have to be you don't have to be and then and then you can author yourself into

01:29:47.080 almost any kind of situation you know obviously you can't author yourself a billion dollars

01:29:52.200 just because you want to maybe some people can

01:29:57.720 but i love these words instead of finding yourself

01:30:02.840 All for yourself.

01:30:05.260 All for yourself!

01:30:12.360 All for yourself!

01:30:16.400 All for yourself!

01:30:19.160 All for yourself!

01:30:31.960 Instead of finding yourself

01:30:33.960 Go on and helping yourself

01:30:36.300 That's very powerful if you take that to heart

01:30:40.140 Author yourself

01:30:42.680 Author yourself

01:30:44.580 Because sometimes we forget

01:30:46.980 That we have that power

01:30:48.600 That we can turn ourselves into

01:30:51.120 Whatever we need to turn ourselves into

01:30:52.800 Author yourself

01:30:57.540 Author yourself

01:30:59.860 Instead of finding yourself

01:31:01.920 Offer yourself

01:31:03.840 Offer yourself

01:31:05.620 Offer yourself

01:31:07.780 Instead of finding yourself

01:31:09.440 Offer yourself

01:31:12.280 Offer yourself

01:31:14.040 Offer yourself

01:31:15.940 Instead of finding yourself

01:31:17.920 Offer yourself

01:31:19.860 Offer yourself

01:31:21.920 Offer yourself

01:31:23.800 Instead of finding yourself

01:31:25.700 Offer yourself

01:31:27.560 Oh, it's your hand.

01:31:38.000 Oh, it's your hand.

01:32:39.860 together because you're intelligent. You're always like evolving and growing. You have a

01:32:47.680 great memory for this stuff. You absorb this from all sorts of amazing people. Like this is just

01:32:52.980 the best music. And Akira has all sorts of other people that he collabs with. And Akira, who are a

01:33:02.120 few of the other people? I know you have Earl Nightingale right now, a new one. Yeah, there's

01:33:07.660 actually damn i need that yeah you do need that it's good to have these things right just the 0.94

01:33:15.000 extra gravitas damn like extra gravitas on the um thing i need that there's three earl nightingale 0.97

01:33:24.000 albums can you believe it and they're all amazing earl nightingale some people would would say he 0.95

01:33:28.940 was like the scott of his day yeah some people think of earl nightingale in that way um oh look

01:33:34.420 the lyric videos up oh it's because we went over i'd scheduled the lyric video

01:33:38.040 for nobody cares to go live at 10 okay oh and we're half an hour

01:33:43.340 yeah look at that well yeah time flies so anyway go meaningwave.com you'll

01:33:49.720 and you can see what we've been up to lately you can see we've got uh the nobody cares lyric videos

01:33:53.920 out uh nobody cares just got adam's out dream faculty with neville goddard uh neville and

01:33:59.140 scott have a lot of crossover uh i would say certainly neville's very much about sort of like

01:34:05.400 directional deliberate uh you know taking control of your being um hacking the i don't know if

01:34:12.200 hacking is the right word but understanding the user interface for reality that's that you may

01:34:16.840 uh you know have the best experience in this realm um so but there are many many many rooms

01:34:24.520 in the meaning wave mansion yeah and i would say you should just have a look around you will find

01:34:28.900 something that will be right for you at this moment in time yes because we're all at different

01:34:34.840 little parts of our journey we're all the stars of our movies and we're a little different parts

01:34:39.840 of our movies and one of the purposes of art as joseph campbell often talked about is is a mirror

01:34:45.440 and it lets you know where you are like if you're watching star wars and you're uh you know you're

01:34:52.780 a kid you're gonna you're watching it and you empathize with the young jedi and that makes

01:34:56.900 sense if you watch it and you're in your 40s and you're still looking at luke skywalker that means

01:35:00.920 you haven't moved on that's a clue that something needs to change in your life you know what i mean

01:35:05.740 i understand but anyway yeah meaningwave.com has loads of stuff and depending on where you like to

01:35:12.600 listen to music whether you like to listen on spotify we're all over there there's a big

01:35:16.440 playlist that you can just press shuffle on uh youtube or if you just want to go to meaningwave.com

01:35:21.120 itself you can listen to everything there now and that website is getting better and better every

01:35:25.980 day um which is very exciting to me to get back in the position of having a website that's closer

01:35:32.800 to what i want it to be by a joke great so yes great akira akira thank you so much and um you

01:37:57.000 the official scott adams mug and the simultaneous swaddle blanket and a couple of other things or

01:38:03.560 everything's all in there for you guys okay so he sounds like michael cain he does um akira you

01:38:10.800 sound like michael cain really yes darling that's nice i was going to start eating speaking with an

01:38:17.600 accent because i can enunciate better when i'm doing some weird accent i don't know what it is

01:38:25.200 but here i am that's very good as long as it's not jersey i can speak clearly yes a big part of

01:38:33.100 the american accent was the deliberate um in not inversion but uh it's typical with the american

01:38:39.300 spirit we shall not be dominated we shall not be ruled by by kings and queens and such like and we

01:38:44.660 shall not pronounce the words correctly at all god we shall refuse so the american accent seems

01:38:50.360 to be a deliberate uh uh a kind of a a aspect of that a little rebellion a microcosm of that

01:38:57.660 rebellion yes exactly would you prefer would you all prefer that i speak with a an odd accent

01:39:04.940 because my t's are very when i do this um yeah it's pronouncing t's just puts you in a whole

01:39:12.500 other world yes nobody does that the only thing the only bit i can i think and you can tell that

01:39:17.440 the british started to get sick of like uh the crushing uh tyrannical rule when they themselves

01:39:24.000 also stopped pronouncing words and uh started saying uh oh we're like can i get a bottle of

01:39:30.560 water oh you know how that was the funniest thing about that alien movie it was like satin in the

01:39:36.940 water satin in the water and um if you're in if you're a british person in the usa and you ever

01:39:42.620 want to order uh a a tasty beverage that's not got anything in it you have to over pronounce they

01:39:48.980 don't get water you have to say water water they that's about the only words that the british

01:39:55.680 people these days i say water and daughter water daughter yeah why not my t's or d's in that case

01:40:03.920 so yeah yeah that's because you're american that's because you're free that's how you know

01:40:07.840 you're free if you pronounce your t's you're on your knees i just came up with that that's a good

01:40:13.380 one that right yes i put the erica in america let's go i'm free all right you guys we're gonna

01:40:22.480 just turn into chaos and silliness i can feel it uh so thanks akira so much for being here and
