on YouTube we can do it. There's Stephen. Okay. Good morning. Good morning. Hi Patty.

Good morning everybody. Hi Sophia. Good morning. Good morning YouTube. Yes YouTube. My apologies.

Apparently we used a thumbnail that was too big for YouTube. It didn't like it.

But we did re-upload the episode yesterday. So if you are a YouTube devotee the episode from

yesterday is up now and you can watch that. Remember happy you're here. So what day is it Tuesday?

Oh my gosh March 31st, 2026. We have a very Newsy show for you. We've got some current events,

some news, some fun things. And of course our favorite Canadian news host is with us. We have

beach jet. I wanted to say BJ and just short the same time. Beats DJ in the house. So is everybody

coming in? I don't want to cut anyone off. Happy last Caesar Chavez day.

Going to be farmer farmer workers today today. Oh really? Yeah it's a holiday here in

California. I thought they were working on canceling that. Yeah. Are they being branded to farm

workers? Huh? Aren't they trying to steal the farmer's land? Like all over the world that seems

to be the trend from these leftist governments that you want to seize farmland. It's happening in

England. It happened in the Netherlands. I'm assuming it happened in California as well.

Are we not there yet? No, it is. It's a longstanding leftist tradition is I'm sure you know.

Yeah. The farmer workers union. All right I'm thirsty. All right guys let's go.

Do you ever wonder why I do the simultaneous sip before my periscopes? Well some of it is a

bonding experience of course. But I do it also. Somebody asked about this. I do it also because it

gives time for people to stream in before I get into these serious content. So I don't have to

repeat myself. And so because you're all here so early it's time for the simultaneous sip and

all you need is a cup of mugger, a glass of tanker, a cell of justine, a canteen, a jug of flask,

a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the

unparalleled pleasure with the dope of being dinner of the day. The thing that makes

everything better is simultaneous sip. Go.

Do you ever said first time to come on time for the simultaneous sip? Well now you know the

pleasure. Oh yeah. That's good. It's good. All right. It is. I needed that. So what

I pity the people who always resisted and never took part. Right. Oh this poor people. Oh and

at least you got there finally. I did. He so Owens referring to he resisted the simultaneous sip

because he was like scotch trying to hypnotize me and you will not win. And what happened? Oh and

what happened? It was a beautiful experience and I regretted it ever resisting it. I thought

I know Scott has talked about how even you know even when you know someone's hypnotizing you

or persuading you that it still works and it did. He got me there and you know I think it is

what he just said really which is it's partly building community and bonding and things like that

and I think he did a great job with that. I agree. So welcome to the Scott Adam School. My name is

Erica. And as I said B.J. is joining us again our Canadian news reporter honking for freedom. So

B.J. love. There's this book. You know Scott was not ashamed of shameless plugs. So

no you should you should show that you should. honkingforfreedom.com. So B.J. was

complimenting the show yesterday and I did get a lot of feedback. Everybody loved that lesson

Scott gave. So if you did see it we had a discussion after and that's where Marcella told us

that words are spells which we all loved so you have to be careful of the words you

used, choose, listen to, adopt. But B.J. wanted to make some comments about it B.J. So please

you know let us know your thoughts on that. Yeah also something else I forgot to tell you Erica

a couple of days ago you talked about brain worms and little jingles and the one you said was

cars for kids I think is the one that gets in your mind. One of my very big followers and supporters

worked very high up in cars for kids and started watching you guys because I mean and they were

apparently outjumping in the office and oh my god they mentioned that so good. Hey cars for kids

your jiggle work that is for sure. Yeah so I think yesterday your show really turned the corner

and worked extremely well I think it was extremely helpful because one of the things that we often

didn't get with Scott was immediate feedback from people like yeah you could see in the comments

and stuff but it was just fascinating to see him give a lesson it was I think 12 minutes long

and then you all took something away from them and the one I love the best was Marcella which was

who doesn't know this which is how I feel too but there are people who don't and it was just

interesting to see how you guys pulled something away from it and it's interesting when I was watching

it it was so many of the things that you learn in hypnosis he frequently covered and he put them

into lessons this was Scott Adam's big innovation in the field of communication and hypnosis

was his ability to package he was brilliant at packaging things that we have known in hypnosis

for many many years but the way he simplified it for everybody to understand is unsurpassed

you know you taught he talked about the fear of rejection and you learn in hypnosis that those

are people who are suffering from anxiety why because they're living in the future they're always

living in future outcomes right and there are techniques to fix that you know how does hypnosis

fix people that are dealing with living in the future well there's an exercise you do when you

put somebody in trance where you replay it forward and reverse and you increase the speed of what

you do it and it just breaks through to the the subconscious through to critical faculty and then

people just overcome it it's I don't want to get into too much but that's the basic part of it

and this is also you know the things that you were referring he was referring to in the lesson

that you guys talked about which was word poisoning positive state I try never to use the word

hate Tony Robbins talked a lot about this 20 years ago if you start with oh I hate doing this

as opposed to this is going to be amazing it completely changes your emotional state and allows

you to overcome challenges way easier and then the last thing that was covered there that you

guys discussed that you just mentioned here were the five y strategy five to seven y strategy

and I think that's important because that teaches if forces people into starting to recognize

observing ego in psychology they call it disassociation and that's often mentally ill people suffer

from but there's a very and psychopaths disassociate themselves but it can be a very big tool for

those of us who want to do self analysis it's what you learn and hypnosis how to disassociate

yourself from the situation and you do that by asking why why why why why to get away from your

emotions and just get into the raw data or the raw scenario what you're experiencing so I thought

amazing and you kudos to all of you for giving you some very insightful follow-ups to scots lesson

and I hope you do more of that oh thank you that's really nice we did get a lot of great feedback

yesterday a lot of people said you know they took notes they're going to rewatch it they're

going to use this they really needed it and I just feel like the right lessons always show up

at the right time and you know oh and you were saying this morning that you hope people really

try the five wise right yeah I call it the five six seven method but yeah go and deep into it and

keep questioning it and getting deeper and really understanding why you why you're doing something

why it's important to you and it gets you a much deeper emotional connection and goes into what

you're really after what your values are and I think in many cases it does create a source of

motivation that you might have not been able to access on the other way I'm Marcel what was your

feedback like yesterday oh it was great the feedback that I got yeah some people were you know

they always have there they have their issues with with my views but either way I think everybody

if they need that you know we can always bring those lessons to them so thank you Erica for bringing

that up oh yeah you know what I go ahead BJ yeah I just want to tack on to Marcella I think

you know when I loved when Marcella basically said who doesn't know this and I think there's a reason

for that and this is my experience spending a lot of time living in Latin America that those

sorts of lessons um they teach you streets marks and like the lessons of living what Marcella

experienced when she was younger uh civil war and narco traficante's paramilitaries you know

Colombia is the same way and we in the west because it's been so peaceful here we're extremely

gullible we really are and I think it's the ability of people who grew up in Latin America understrife

they're not nearly as gullibles arrest of us and I think that's why they just have a natural

understanding of these things as opposed to we struggle a little bit of it in the west at least

that's just my perspective yeah but also I think there's a natural I think it's wired into us that

it takes a lot of energy to analyze you know where is this coming from you know what why am I doing

this thing that's not productive for me like you you have to trace it all back and break it all

down and really think about it and um it you know I think we spend most of our time in the habits

just repeating loops of whatever we formed as habits and there's good habits and bad habits

but you know most of the time I think it's more of it's kind of like a biological efficiency thing

it's like well you don't have enough energy in your brain to just be going back the first

principles all the time and figuring out why it is so it's almost more like you need to decide okay

when is it worth it to get under the hood and figure out what's going on here and make a change

and then try and rewire your brain or you know form a new habit and then once you have that habit

formed you can go back to that sort of automatic mode of saying I'm just gonna do that every day

and once I've done it for a month or two it's gonna just gonna be a habit and it may be hard in the

first week you know if you're trying to like lose weight or exercise or do whatever but once you

get in the routine of it and it becomes just part of your day then it becomes part of who you are

and then it you know it's kind of like riding a bike it's like when you first ride a bike it's really

hard to learn but once you've got it you don't even think about it anymore right and I think it's

the same thing I think it's you're mostly living in your habits and you don't necessarily really think

about where did those habits come from or do I even want that habit well yeah I totally agree

with that and it you know it takes no time for some reason to build a bad habit and a lot of

its learn behavior maybe it's your friends or your family or whatever so like you know Marcella

was saying like you know her family you know like her culture her family it was like we just don't

do this like I she didn't she didn't sit she didn't say who doesn't know this she said I never

needed to have her and it's like it was already within me luckily because of the way she was raised

but what I love is I think that Owen and Marcella and myself we are three very different people with

different upbringings and different cultural backgrounds and that we all can bring something

different to the same lesson Scott taught us and that if you guys could find you know like a

little something in our response is also that maybe helps you that's you know that's perfect and

so maybe it's like a little something Marcella said with the emotion of Owen and then the sassy

chick over here you know waving my hand around like a lunatic you know maybe there's a little

something in all of us or one person's resonating with you and that's perfect and then you know

that's why I was saying too like you just have to you really have to practice choosing the right words

deciding to have better self-talk because once you realize like how much meaning words have like

I always say you know don't say I'm gonna try to do something then you're allowing yourself to

fail just say I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it until it's done or until it's right or whatever

because if you say I'm gonna try then you're like and if it doesn't work it doesn't work I tried

no no just get it get her done um so I like that we recap that we are going to do more of that

moving forward you guys I have a bunch of clips and lessons from Scott and um you know more Scott

more better but I do want to move over to a couple of fun little things so one I don't know what

happens if I click this but congratulations there we go so now the West Palm Beach Airport is going

to be renamed to the president Donald Trump Airport we're on to Santis just sign that sign that in

so listen another place where his name is going this makes him happy we like a happy president um

any comments on that yes just just a little context because my parents live very close to

there and I spent a lot of time I was there for the past two weeks um the thing that's hysterical

about that is this has been an ongoing feud between Trump and like the local town council

everyone hates the town council but you know they're basically a bunch of commies and so they've

been going back and forth for years they would deny in the helipad couldn't fly his plane in like

whatever they can come up to make Trump's life miserable they would do it and this is another

example they put on Twitter of revenge is a dish best served cold it's brilliant yeah now now

look what you got you could a game the helipad but now you got the whole freaking airport there you go

people I'm looking forward to watching people going through that airport just yeah they're going to

go around they're going to like fly to Fort Lauderdale and take the extra drive yeah he needs more

airport things after him and airlines I agree Marcella okay the other uh the other story that Owen

posted I hope that came down okay the other story Owen posted today that just had me giggling

immediately because I love bringing it up the you know the outrage over the ballroom we were talking

about it yesterday um so let's go through this quickly Owen but I want to pose so Caroline

Levitt first posted this and Owen why don't you quickly read it for us sure so the New York Times

apparently had some people that quote studied fine arts maybe I'll just read it the New York Times

had three random people who have studied fine arts long written about urban planning and never built

anything to write an article criticizing the new White House ballroom president Trump and his lead

architect to build world class buildings around the world and they're ensuring the people's house

finally has a beautiful ballroom that's been needed for decades at no expense to the taxpayer

and then of course this sparked you know outrage right so here's here's

the outrage over the ballroom I wish I could make this bigger I don't

you never know with rumble but anyway I'm gonna look at it so I don't know if you guys can see it

but they were like you know it's too tall the columns get in the way of the view the path looks bumpy

this stair the little stairs go over here to the entrance but then they have grand staircase that

doesn't even go to the door you know whatever you could complain about right and then it looks to

me like a fifth grader did this for one thing and it's just ridiculous the criticisms they have

of this um oh it's very tall uh oh like it's not a tall ballroom what exactly is the issue with

that and uh you know I don't know I just it all of it's ridiculous but you know oh and you know

what that is that's called the fake because trying to persuade in the opposite direction

mm-hmm so that was that was that one then we have here this is my favorite one

yeah that's the parody version when you you have a top naval architect who does the same thing

with criticizing an aircraft carrier and you can see like bottom of the boat gets wet there's

not enough parking what does this say yeah for everybody listening because I do listen to you guys

as opposed to watch um and it's important to understand the meme is basically echoing that with an

aircraft carrier with these very unprofessional lines pointing out to parts of the aircraft carrier

oh my god why is it so tall oh my god why does it have so many planes or whatever else right it's

just ridiculous I love it so much and then of course oh and did you want my favorite is the my

favorite is the railing blocks the ocean view the ship railing blocks the ocean view oh no

and that of course then we have one of our favorites of always oh just to show you how tall

the ballroom is showing a picture of a guy who is Baron is Baron who's absurdly tall

he's taller than the ballroom bless yeah I love I love that outrage it's so

fight Biden is taller than the ballroom oh yeah the big Biden was amazing and then last on the

fun trump hysteria um I hope this works so there's also the release of the trump library the AI

depiction of what it's gonna be and all I want to tell you guys is that it is also very tall

oh there we go it's showing the video like the trump library there was a very tall trump library and

Baron is up to the sphere on top he's taller I love it it's so good I think that was from

Polita Reacon meme maker on X so that was all the fun I wanted to share but good good times

whoo okay so Marcella I am I'm gonna toss to a new story to you first if you don't mind and

we'll take it from there okay thanks so keeping the theme of trump trump comes to the rescue for TSA

um he uh yesterday he uh created or rode an emergency action emergency order to pay the TSA

officers basically he declared a national emergency to pay them and they will be getting their first

paychecks in a few weeks um so basically he rescued them um so how what what was happening is that

the hs was funded partially funded um in the senate but then um for whatever reason they ended up

taking out the ice funding and the border patrol funding in order for the dems to vote for that

then it went to congress congress didn't want to vote on it because they disagreed with uh the border

patrol being uh excluded from the funding and i so basically it was stan still uh the

remember how we were going to call it but um trump always comes to the rescue he also

was the one to bring ice to the airports to do TSA's job while they were some of them weren't there

but you know i was thinking yes then everything so today i was like nothing is organic so yesterday

we talked about no king's protest and how like they all came out at three thousand events and

none of that was organic all that was paid for you know your sorrows your blah blah blah there's

so many different evil people anyways um when it comes to TSA officers or TSA people that

weren't on the job i wonder if some of them were you know pushed to not go to work you know

and stay away from work so it created this chaos so that's just my conspiracy theory of the day

uh but it didn't seem organic i kind of thought that too um because trump you know funding it now

like giving you know their paychecks has to piss off the democrats because they're so sick

like that they're like oh let's just screw up air travel for everybody you know have people not

have jobs and then you know trump funding it is like no wait like it's backfiring so i agree

and that list of people um paying for those that protest was so sick it was like over 500

organizations paying for it so none of that's organic people so you see those crowds and you're like

wow no it's all paid for oh my god i i'm gonna pull for tomorrow i think um the clip of this woman

talking to the people at the protest in minnesota telling them you just need to be what does she

call them you just need to be like a folding chair she's like we oh we need mules she's like we

already have the brilliant people putting together these protests we just need mules and we need you

to be the mules we need you to be the people that are like here's some donuts for like the people

that are putting this together here we'll do the folding chairs here you know i'm like oh my god

like you are literally telling people like i just need you to be an NPC mule so you know

it's all it's all very well funded and corrupt it's really sad because it's affecting people's

lives in the worst way possible so so the so just to clarify the the executive order signed by

trump yesterday also added one one point two billion for emergency funds they're going to be used

for security operation not just tsa and it's gonna help in other operations not just the the

tsa service people or officers that's good that is good all right oh and i'm going to toss to you

yeah well speaking of conspiracy theories there's been a plot twist in the tyla robinson case which

are the curk that apparently the bullet the atf is unable to match it to the rifle that the assassin

used allegedly and i think it's probably they're probably stretching on this in terms of claiming that

all this means he wasn't the killer i think it i think it i think it's i think it's common that

that can happen like that you can't necessarily always ballistically match a bullet to a rifle

it's not like every time they can always do it in this time they can't so it's clearly from another

rifle i think it's you know bullets when they go into a body usually fragmented to a bunch of

pieces and there isn't necessarily something you can do to really definitively say this bullet came

from this rifle well i think so they're gonna say what it was in a 30 out six well i think it

probably was the right caliber i don't i don't think that detail was in the story in terms of

whether it was a different caliber that would certainly be a problem for the prosecution if it

was like a nine millimeter you know and then it wasn't a 30 out six but i don't think anyone's

alleging that at this point i think it's just that they can't necessarily definitively say

you know this bullet came from that rifle what wasn't there something etched on it though oh and

well that i think there was something etched on the casing oh the casing okay got you yeah

but that would have been left over on the roof and you know that would at least probably show that

a bullet was fired right but it wouldn't necessarily you know match it to that bullet and

and you know i think we've had too many of these CSI shows and things where people do these things

that aren't real in their analysis like you know they'll say oh i got this matched up to that or

i was able to definitively prove that this is that or you know do this DNA analysis in five

seconds or whatever it is and people have come to expect that that's reality when in many cases

i don't think that is what they what police can do so i do think it's a little bit of a stretch

to say this is a real like smoking gun but i think that's what's going around x right now and

there's certainly a lot of stories being written about it and the defense will probably try and

do something with it but i think chances are it's probably not it really doesn't mean anything and

i think there's plenty of other evidence that would point to that person being the killer

yeah i mean he was on the roof with a gun um or was he i don't know

can i just wait a little bit as as the sometimes foreigner um i think this is very concerning this

is persuasion in action um so we've forgotten the ability to understand that certain things are

just inconclusive the evidence can't point in either direction and i think this might be another

indication of that and i think the reason that's so concerning for me and again this is the

persuasion sort of hypnotist filter is if people once they get some sense of doubt there's this

the process of how the human operating system works if we don't know with absolute certainty

we naturally gravitate to the most irrational and extreme possibility you know oh i don't know

what that light in the sky is therefore it might be it must be aliens from another galaxy sort of thing

and i think this is what people who have nefarious intent for the united state who know this

this field very well now this is exactly what they're trying to do they're trying to get people to

once again it's the Yuri Besmanov uh strategy i've got people to be demoralized but get people to

question absolutely everything and then they cannot process actual reality which is right in front

of their face the slightest little question gets them to go off the rails and okay it must be aliens

i think this is just it's it ballistics is an engineering science that like all like like many

engineering sciences sometimes when there's a lack of precision you've got to be able to admit

that okay this is inconclusive and you see this in murder trials in DNA as well sometimes it's

inconclusive because it's only mitochondria DNA that's available i think that's all this is but

that's just my my two cents my two cents yeah i mean it's got us talked about this in some aspects

of saying maybe the opposite part of this is something being too on the nose if everything lines

up perfectly it might be a good reason to be skeptical to say wait a second life isn't really like

that and um you know that i certainly remember a lot of these earlier conspiracy theories about

Tyler Robinson and like oh look at what you know he didn't have the rightful when he jumped off the

roof or it would have acted somehow differently and i i think you know and they were making these

big deals out of a particular frame where it's like oh as bodyguard did it look he moved his arm

this way therefore he shot him and and you know they're connecting all these dots in these extreme

ways like you said but um i think i agree that it comes back to that human nature aspect that we

don't like uncertainty we don't like something to be unexplained we don't like it when all the

facts don't match up exactly as we expect um it makes us uncomfortable we don't want to be there so

we find another way to say well what is a theory that would explain everything or what is a way that

it would you know have all the facts in a in a in a nice straight line even though life isn't like

that um just because it makes us feel better it makes us feel more comfortable or you know allows

us to say okay now it's all explained um even if it is kind of a ridiculous explanation chasing

confirmation bias so then it so oh and i'm confused and i'm not even looking for like what your

opinion is on this so that could go either way so if cash patrol is like hey we got the guys

buttoned up here's the gun da da da da da da da da so then some people were like okay good who

glad that's taking care of but then there's other people that are like i grew up questioning

every single thing that came in front of my face so then there's people questioning it like

all that got buttoned up fast but what about this and what about that and da da da da da da so i have

no issue with anyone questioning anything about anything ask questions i tell you guys this all

the time too Scott would tell you too like and Owen just told us yesterday peel it back you know

the five six seven wise keep asking questions until you personally are satisfied you don't have to

you don't have to take anyone's answer for anything um so i just i just say peel it back if you

if you feel uncomfortable and your gut is saying something then go ahead i'm i'm all for asking

questions and and examining things and trying to make sense of the world you know with that analysis

but i guess what i would challenge people to do is to say number one don't go into it with some bias

like you think you know the answer and you're just going to line up all the facts to match that

and right because you can probably convince yourself of anything if you really want to

and you know you'll come up with a theory that makes it work um but i think you know the other

part is you know it just if you and the Scott said this part as well that when you see something

where someone's making a case for a particular theory go look up the debunk go look up the other

side and they're you know for these controversial things like this they're always out there you

know someone will say oh it's definitely not Tyler Robinson and here's all the facts and then you'll

have someone else who deconstructs that video and explains why none of that makes sense at all

what about the guy that tried to kill trump like what we there's nothing about him yet there are

people that dug in and they found a ton out about this guy mm-hmm well i'm not saying that there aren't

gaps in in a lot of these things and i do think in some of these cases um it

seems like they wrapped up the case without doing enough digging um and there certainly are

mysteries about the Butler Pennsylvania thing and that you know why wasn't there even silverware

in the house why was it kind of cleansed almost like someone cleaned up a crime scene i mean i

get it um and i'm not disputing any of that i think there probably is more to the story in some of

these cases i'm just saying that when when there is a like at least using this as an example when

cash putel and all these other people are saying yes this is definitely the guy we have plenty of

evidence we we know that he did it and you know there's no question about it um and then someone

else says well you know that's all BS and look at all we look at my frame-by-frame analysis of the

video and look at how it couldn't have happened that way and all that i mean again if you walk in with

a bias wanting to believe one side or the other you're probably just gonna say okay whatever the

other side is saying is is crap um so try to keep an open mind if you are gonna do that but also

at least make sure you've heard both sides and when i say both sides it's that documentary effect

problem it's like if you watch this frame-by-frame analysis and someone says there's no way Tyler

Robinson was the shooter look for someone else that deep to speech that you know it's kind of like

what just got did with climate change where he you know certainly heard all the consensus views

about it and probably for a while believed it and then he heard all the debunks um talking about

the other side of that how it's all BS but then he went back and forth and back and forth and back

and forth and and look for the debunk of the debunk of the debunk and there can be many layers to it

like that where you know if you just stop it whatever point you agree with you may be missing part

of the story mm-hmm BJ you wanted to say something yeah yeah i feel like i'm in twitter space

i gotta raise my hand i'm trying to be the police polite canadian um i also think there's just

kind of the human nature uh effect of it like if we start with if our bias is everything is a lie

to us then we're always gonna look for something uh to convince ourselves of something else but

in this particular case didn't wasn't he turned in by his law enforcement father like a retired

and committed to it so there's a lot of dispute to a lot of the stuff so apparently that person

just resigned done done done yeah i think if his father is turning him in his father is a veteran

police officer uh if there was any funny business i don't think it was his father wasn't like a friend

it was a yeah it was like somebody else it wasn't the dad and that was alleged it was not ever um

confirmed by the by the right his father was a is a retired cop isn't he?

no he's like a family friend or something but i think his father was a law enforcement

yeah his father was in law enforcement that's for sure that that much I remember you know and

having family that's in law enforcement it's kind of a close-knit community especially in smaller

towns like that um you don't think there would be pushback from other cops on the inside if he

was innocent there's no way this would have gone forward i don't know you guys listen i'm moving on

from the scissors yeah i have something to talk about okay the main thing about this case is

is it's gonna go to trial so it's beyond a reasonable doubt so that's what the the hurdle to

to meet is um you're always gonna have on one side the expert showing the opposite side you know

going against uh Tyler Robinson Robinson and then on Tyler Robinson's part you're gonna have

his own expert saying you know it didn't match the gun however the main detail that I recently

learned is that Catherine Nester is gonna be his defense counsel um his lead defense counsel

and that in itself worries me but that's just my opinion why about Catherine Nester um she was

recently the counsel for Cory Richards which some of the people in the chat may know that was a very

publicized trial of a woman that that well now it's not a legit because she was convicted

of the murder of her husband um but i had my issues with her um abilities so it's very interesting

that they didn't put somebody better able to defend him that's all i can say um i want to say to

basketball jones you asked why isn't anyone talking about the israel connection

this panel doesn't know the seek case at all well i respectfully would like to say to you that

i do know this case a lot and it is not our job here to talk about that stuff like we're not

litigating this case um we don't want to take it to that level because it's always changing

it's never ending and it's very volatile and we don't want to get stuck on that scott wouldn't

get stuck on that we're not gonna get stuck on that so do your own research you guys and the whole

point of it is you know if something seems suspect to you anywhere in life you know trust your

gut and your instincts it doesn't matter whether it's this or you know taking a trip with someone

and you feel weird about it just always you know do your five six sevens and um find out what it is

as bothering you and maybe you'll get the answer and then realize like okay all right i'm cool with

this like i thought this but it turns out this is okay so do your own research on that um yes i'm

just here to kick your butt okay so i wanted to bring up if you guys don't mind let me just open

this a story that beach day shared with us today we were talking about the shenanigans and

excuse me in canada the other day and you know whether you have free speech and they're gonna come

to your house and knock on your door and tell you that you know you wrote a tweet that wasn't right

so come on little thing here okay so i'm loading up here so bj shared um why don't you set up

what the what the story was about bj and then i'll play the clip well basically we have very

restrictive gun rights in canada uh so i can't understand all these shootings that we have because

you know we don't we we're not allowed to have shootings here because we have restrictive gun

rights yet amazingly they still keep happening and the government while blackface trudo was still in

power they risk they imposed a series of restrictions on firearms meaning you could no longer

purchase firearms they did a whole long list of now banned firearms in canada which included

ar15.com ar15.net and ar15.ca yes somebody went to the internet and just copied a list and

pasted it into the legislation that's the it's a dealbert cartoon it's it's the dealbert filter

which works very well in canadian politics and so now they're continuing down this path

because extremists always escalate and they can never self evaluate whether they're making a

mistake or not and the latest is the government i i've received some of them because i don't

i don't own you firearms in canada but i have firearms license and they're sending us emails

saying you know you should surrender your firearms if they're on this list of now prohibited guns

prohibited firearms in canada and the latest was well you'll see in the video how the the

government has their strategy of getting legally legal firearms owners to return their firearms to

the government this buyback program and by which you recognize from australia and by the way in canada

did you know it is not lawful to use a firearm in self defense that's right a firearm is only for

sports shooting or if you have a hunting license that's how ridiculous it is and it's still not

enough they're still doubling down maybe so they even wanted to say what about people that hunt

they can't have guns either no because the law the hunting rifles are not within the ban it's

it's certain firearms like certain pistols and all that sort of stuff yeah my video is gone

i don't know why it's a rumble kind of a day okay so um if you guys want to like talk about this

i can probably pull it back up but i'm just afraid that i lost it um but it it what if there is a

self defense shooting which i'm sure there have been in canada what kind of punishment does a person

face for that in canada it's funny you know i haven't i haven't mentioned that you guys know but

i produce a podcast for a a lawyer a defense lawyer in canada uh who focuses on false accusations

called not on record we do it on Sunday nights and joseph in particular has defended i think one or two

cases um that will actually paint lay the foundation for castle doctrine in canada because

uh he was man he he was able to get the defendants off and in these cases you know

property encroachment somebody came into their property threatened him came into their house

and they ended up using their firearm in self defense unfortunately in canada that's immediate

prosecution you immediately get arrested and although the person ended up being acquitted

the problem is they had to go through the legal system for a couple of years and how many

hundreds of thousands of dollars yeah in expense and that's you know it's kind it's an example of

law fair you know where the process is the punishment yeah okay you didn't do anything you didn't

murder somebody you with self defense but we've now bankrupted you in the process and that's that's

kind of the real problem right yeah well that's that in the united states that's one of the reasons

why i recommended and was recommended to me to have firearms insurance for that particular

thing because it's it's a kind of insurance you buy it's not very expensive maybe like a hundred

bucks a year or less if you can shop around for it and they essentially will pay that two hundred

thousand dollar legal bill or they'll you know provide you with a knowledgeable lawyer that will

otherwise cost about two hundred thousand dollars to try and defend you in a self defense shooting

and so it's very specific insurance only for that type of thing and if you you know commit a

crime with a gun that's not going to cover you but if if it is a real self defense shooting where

you did everything the right way and you know i'm sure there's some latitude of whether it's

questionable or not because there's always probably some gray area but um you know as long as

you pretty much did everything legally um then they will defend you and they'll go through what however

long that process takes and it's still going to be painful it's not like it still won't be a

punishment just like we saw with Cal written house you know it's like his whole life was ruined

or at least changed by that but um you know at least financially he wasn't bankrupted and put

into financial straits from that process so i'd certainly recommend anybody homes a firearm to

make sure you have insurance for that yeah and that's because you know who Cal written houses but

you know these people are you know unknown just regular people local community in rural Ontario

and you know some drunk i think that one of the cases the guy was drunk who came onto the property

but almost killed the guy had no choice but to defend himself a firearm uh it can't it is not

exactly the freedom basket that uh maybe it was or people thought it was and somebody mentioned

that Canada is slipping into you know socialist communist uh dystopia sort of thing uh we are and

i remember this one i lived in Latin America and it can compare it we are exactly 11 years into

Hugo Chavez political strategy and political policies so we're doing exactly the same policies

as Hugo Chavez did when he ruined Venezuela that's how bad things are here

well we'll come in and get Maduro when it's time

come in now please come on

i know there's been talk about it but i personally don't want Canada to be the 51st state so

well no you wanted to be a territory because you don't want us to have any impact on the

electoral college the last thing you want is us voting but it's actually how the writings are

distributed in Canada but that gets all very boring unless you're a political nerd but they buy

it's all the right the districts and they've condensed them just basically into a few small into a few

cities Toronto Montreal and Vancouver and those cities determine the entire the entire electorate on

the uh the electoral results on the federal level if it was distributed fairly that's why you see

this movement in Alberta Alberta should have more seats because Canada is actually a very conservative

country it's just it's just a couple of cities that are very uh they used to be liberal now they're

leftist but if it was distributed fairly then you would see conservatives wouldn't would win just

about every election that's the reality well in a related story did you see that Hague South came

out with his greater North America policy you know the Monroe doctrine includes Canada right what

do you say well he kind of basically he used that term greater North America which I'm sure triggered

a lot of people because it's probably like greater Israel they I don't know why he chose those

words but that's the words used and um but he basically said we're gonna be protecting all the

North American countries like we're gonna have military influence and protect you know be the

primary protector of all the people above a certain latitude I guess um I think he talked about the

Amazon River being um one of the dividing lines but um he basically said we're gonna have a really

primary role to play there and then he said it for anyone in the south of that um essentially

those countries would be required to defend themselves we would partner with them and still help

them but um we'd be primarily focusing on the northern American thing which he now calls greater

North America so I don't know if you uh think that might be a step in the direction of empire building

but uh oh my god greater North America is amazing but there's there's a reason for that I don't

know if I mentioned on this stream or another one but uh when I when I ran for office which was now

well too when when Trudeau got elected and I was in the conservative party and this was the

chatter behind the scenes amongst MPs and staffers and chiefs of staff because we all kind of

got to know each other was we had a regular problem in Canada of uh Russia surfacing

some nuclear submarines in the Canadian Arctic on a regular basis and that was just to show that

it's not protected and if they really wanted to launch a nuclear attack on America they could very

easily do it despite norad uh they could very easily fire off a couple of nukes and it was everybody

I was shocked how scared everybody was uh within the political class that it was such uh and

you know one of the people I knew pretty well uh he had worked in Moscow he was an ambassador

and uh he was fluent in Russia and this is what was really frustrating about the whole

Russia Russia Russia gate stuff is the leftists have overplayed their hand so now it's become almost

like an an inverse of a painted word that when you tell a conservative oh Russia they just

automatically tune out oh yeah it doesn't mean anything well Russia's not exactly our friends

and the strategy of Alexander Dugin online and people parroting it is a perfect example of that

so yeah that's that's where this all comes from and then the US knows that everybody in Canada knows

everybody in the US knows it and they we would we need the United States to secure our northern border

and Trump knows that and that's probably why he's saying well then you're going to be part

of the United States because we're not flipping the bill anymore if you're not going to be involved

right yeah and I think the other maybe somewhat unstated part of this message from Hegseth is

Europe might be a little bit more on their own too that um you know essentially he did say

we're going to be basically focusing on our own region of the world militarily um I don't know

that he necessarily called out Europe but I certainly know Trump has been saying I think there was

a post today about that where he said you know you weren't there for us we're not going to be

there for you so Europe you're on your own you know all these other countries that wouldn't help

with this um you know you can't basically count on us to defend you the way we have in the past

and so it's another step in the direction of maybe NATO isn't really NATO anymore

yeah I mean because from the US perspective and Trump's perspective is if you want to commit

sepuku and you commit suicide in Europe like okay then we're not going to support we're not

going to help you commit suicide you're on your own you want to be partners great but you know

the US and I let's I understand this perspective it's not the US responsibility to flip the bill

for everybody all over the world yeah they're they're somewhat tasked with securing international

ports and waterways around the world that was a big thing in Bretton Woods that okay you're going

to be the reserve currency but you've got to make sure to secure international trade and for many

administrations they actually didn't do that properly that's what you're seeing going on right

now with the straightover moves in Iran and all that sort of stuff um but at the same time they're

not going to flip the bill to run everybody's country and then have them just you know not not

own up any tax like leave it with the American taxpayer like and the American taxpayers shouldn't

pay for that so I understand the frustration they're completely right I like that they're showing

us who they are and this yeah that's my next story regarding Trump and his allies uh

him telling them to um fix your own oil mess to your read that that was a really good um are you

talking about his post that true yeah can you read it or or do we have Owen read it in his I mean

I want to find it um I read a sentence if you have it handy sure here it is

16 wait the one that says all those countries you have it

she where is it it's so good I like it I thought that was um the way to go

I can't take it up I'm afraid to hit a button right now my my system's like what

you can send it to you and if you want I think I got it okay here's a reading um by Owen

president all of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the straight of our moves like

the United Kingdom which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran I have a suggestion

for you number one buy from the US we have plenty and number two build up some delayed courage go

to the straight and just take it you have to start learning how to fight for yourself the USA won't

be there to help you anymore just like you weren't there for us Iran has been essentially decimated

the hard part is done go get your own oil president DJT yeah good brilliant like a business remember

everything is like a business transaction that's his filter in the world right yeah you're not

our children like it's your problem that's it that's a you problem people figure it out it's

tiny teaching them how to grow up and beat big boys yeah right you want money you want to go out on

the weekends go get a job well I think this is completely aligned with Trump's whole energy strategy

that he's been saying drill to be drilled from day one and he's done a lot to make that happen

and I think that we were reaching a point like earlier this year where at least in my mind we were

starting to say you know are we gonna have a supply glut which is a problem for the United States

because we do a lot of fracking which is more expensive and if you push the oil price down too far

those companies go out of business and so you know it's almost like you have to have the oil price

above a certain level for the United States to be competitive and now we are because prices are

high and so you know it's interesting just to me strategically I don't know how much of this

was intentional but it's like he is really positioning the United States as a primary supplier of

oil to the world and a lot of the steps that we've taken with a lot of these different conflicts

including the Ukraine war has positioned the United States as a supplier like all this

liquefied natural gas Europe is signing up for getting it from the United States because they

can't get it from Ukraine or Russia anymore and you know the pipelines are bombed and all these

other things but it just positioned the United States to be the primary supplier and now the

same thing is true for general oil that you know Trump is basically saying we're open for business

you can buy it from us and you know we'll make a lot more money off this in the process

and so I think he's kind of flipping the script a little bit to say yeah in the past we've

tried to just make sure oil prices were affordable and that it's smooth global commerce across the

world but now it's your problem and if you want to go get your oil go get it and you know we did

the hard part but you know basically you're on your own from here on out yeah that's the way to go

I mean that that to me shows putting America first and that's what I think that's what we want to

say maybe doubles advocate always okay so if I was Europe I'm not Europe but let's pretend

I'm a Europe and Europe would say the only reason the street of her moose is a disaster in chaos

is because of Donald J Trump fighting and with Iran when they didn't have to because there was

no imminent threat in their mind so that's just how they see it and now Trump is telling them

go take the oil but they're in their mind they're not the ones that created the issue to begin with

so I can I play devil's advocate to the devil's advocate yes surely I understand we see that

that perspective and they try to push that out I think people in the west have a really really

poor understanding of Iran and what Iran is and we discussed that on our previous stream right

that Iran has caused such chaos in the region that even Saudi Arabia is now sending jets like

never before could you imagine and this a brilliant Trump is he gets the Jews and the Arabs both to

love them and working together so he's got Bahrain and UAE and Saudi Arabia and Israel in an alliance

against Iran which has really been the one that's been trying to be the neighborhood bully

to push everybody around because they really are quite extreme people don't understand the

implications of the IRGC the Iranians do and people in the Middle East to do this is why he killed

Salamani in his first term because Salamani was the one who ran the IRGC the guy they killed last

week was the guy who ran sleeper cells for the IRGC around the world including sleeper cells that are

in America and Canada they really are the reason they have two militaries is one is a regular

military but then one is the true believer military think ISIS as a military that's what the IRGC

is and they got immense power and they were going for nuclear weapons and up until they were invaded

they said we have enough uranium for what they say 11 nuclear weapons and they were building their

ICBM so this all was inevitable and this has been the international community kicking the can down

the road for 47 years and he's if you look at what Trump is doing he's he's solving the big the

big annoying problems economically and regards to security around the world from the 20th century

you know he got rid of Chavez's Venezuela it looks like he's going to get Cuba he's got rid of

Iran these were major issues throughout the 20th century the the back half of the 20th century

and he's probably solved them all what's the next thing he's going to solve you know well you know

we'll go ahead Marcelo do you think that he's solved Iran yet I mean they're still okay yeah

because it's really funny when you know the two movies one screen phenomenon that that Scott Adams

looks at discussed frequently it's amazing to see the complete divergence of opinions that are

promulgated online and in legacy media and it's got often said we learn in hypnosis

if you hear the same opinion five times you're likely to adopt it and absorb it as your own opinion

especially if you're kind of you're not really emotionally involved in it and it's amazing to see

that and this is to people's shock people people thought Iran was one of the most powerful militaries

on the planet so everybody's afraid of them he sunk their navy like there's there's two navy's

right that both the Americans and the Iranians are in are on the ocean except the Iranians are

at the bottom of the ocean he destroyed their entire Air Force destroyed their entire defense system

everybody can fly in with at the last thing they have is a gang of militia on the ground that's

the last thing that's left of it see it's completely destroyed them but it's amazing to see

there's people online and they did this within a month there's people online trying to

brainwash people in the west to say oh Trump has lost Trump has lost I guess they basically didn't

have any background of the implications of Iran over the past 30 years let's say when they

are very very strong and if you take the long-term approach you zoom out of what has transpired that

he's taken out this regime that was singularly focused on America you guys are the target

and he just destroyed them in a month like this is 47 years of work for the great battle

and I think there there is a lot of goalpost moving and persuasion going on here because you

certainly can see both sides to it if you want to you can say he took out three layers of

leadership the regime is gone even if they have another one even if they might be just as bad

there at least a different regime and they've probably learned a lesson that if they go too far

they're going to get smacked down well and it's also going to take many years for them to have any

kind of nuclear capability probably for those five or 10 years we just got to get the uranium I'm

going to say they're definitely hurt and crippled and I don't think Trump I want to say that

Iran is really the one that unified everybody by firing missiles at their neighbors for no freaking

reasons so thanks Iran they did that so you guys time to end I'm sorry it's 11
