The Scott Adams School - 04/02/26 HOME TEAM News & Current Events

Live.

Good morning, everybody.

Look at that.

All right, I'm going to hit this song.

Wow.

Are you guys ready?

I'm ready.

All right, let's go check this out you guys

from Bob Lawler.

Good morning.

How would you like to take it up to a level

when you've never seen before?

You want to get ready?

Oh, you need for that desire.

Couple of our good glasses to take your chosen time.

You need to get ready.

A vessel of that kind of thing.

It's time for Scott Adam's skull be useful

as the primary role.

Oh, and there's here with the news.

Ma's cellar brings the legal views.

Every cut we get subtle and we get subtle.

Who's the guest?

We want to know.

Got your blash, your mug, your cup.

Pour your coffee.

I like coffee.

Fill it up.

It's time for yourself.

Oh, oh.

It's time for the set.

All right, thank you, thanks.

It's time for the set.

It's time for Scott Adam's skull.

It's all working.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Wait a sec.

That's hard, man.

So fun.

I hope Lawler is here.

We will definitely be playing that one again.

It wasn't that fun, you guys.

Funke.

Funke.

He was so fun.

He did all this.

I mean, right?

Love it.

Did anyone hear Scott say, Erica, the excellent.

It was right after I said something.

I was like, yeah.

We love it.

That was so fun and groovy.

We figured that would give some time for people to come in.

Good morning, you guys.

We are ready to kick this day off.

Are you?

I think we need to do something first, though.

Let's go.

There's a little thing called the simultaneous set.

Most mornings, I read from my little script for the introduction.

Sometimes, if I'm on the road in a secret location like today,

I don't have that with me.

So you might have to help me.

Those of you who have memorized the introduction to the simultaneous set.

All you need is a copper mug.

Or is anybody memorized it?

Well, we'll see if somebody can reproduce it in the comments.

Because I know somebody there has memorized it by now.

All right.

Well, we're not going to make you wait.

Let's go directly to the simultaneous set.

You know it's the best part of your day.

It's the dope of me and the other day.

The thing that makes everything better.

Simultaneous set.

Go.

Oh.

Classic Scott.

I love that.

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Erica.

And you are at the Scott Adam School.

Today is April 2nd, 2026.

You know what that means?

Nothing, really.

It's no longer April Fool's Day.

Thank God.

I hate April Fool's Day.

I'm like, please, let me get through the day without someone giving me a false sense of doom.

So I happened to survive yesterday.

I hope you guys did too.

I'm here with Marcella and Owen as always.

And you guys, we picked out some fun news stories and events for you.

Oh, real quick.

Top of the show.

Beverly.

You have done it again.

Look at this.

This woman and her doll houses.

I I spy this today.

Okay.

Look at that couch.

The dog on the couch.

Beverly, you are just crushing it out there.

Is that a really in the picture?

What's that?

Is that Beverly in the picture?

Yeah, that's Beverly.

Yep.

She lounges in those types of things at home.

Okay.

You guys indulged me for one second.

I have two videos I want to show you.

Here is one.

Holy shit.

They're going to the moon.

This suspense is killing me.

I love how the sound rolls in later.

Here are the water.

Now you start to hear the rocket.

Starting to come across.

Let's go!

Can you imagine on the water?

Here comes the sound.

Listen.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

That was one clip.

Listen.

You guys know I'm a salty girl.

I love the being on the water, on the boat.

So I was just like, I can't imagine.

But let's watch the one the White House sent to us.

And if you don't know, this is Artemis.

Is it Artemis?

Two.

Artemis, two.

It's going to go up and around the moon.

And let's see the official White House video.

But you guys, this is just a me.

And I'm really, really proud that we're making this the big deal

that it is because it is a big deal.

And we should be reveling in this stuff.

This is this is a glorious time.

So one more video for me for you.

Let's go.

And here we go.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

RS 25 inches.

Length.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Booster ignition.

And liftoff.

The crew of Artemis two now bound for the moon.

Humanity's next great voyage begins.

Good roll pitch.

Roger, roll pitch.

Houston now controlling the flight of integrity

on the Artemis two mission in the realm of the moon.

The integrity, AMG high.

AMG high.

On time, passing thirty seconds into the flights,

the integrity passes the ultimate vehicle.

Target, five.

No.

Target, milestone.

Measure control.

Houston state.

Good performance of the moon.

Engines.

Space launch system.

Core stage.

Integrity.

Three miles.

An altitude.

Traveling more than 1200 miles per hour.

Mission of last time.

Passing one minute.

Approaching Mexico.

On.

Pump.

We're on.

Stand.

We're on.

You loud and clear.

On.

We're on.

Have you the same?

Communication signal transfer confirmed as integrity

and its cargo supersonic.

Wow.

Wow.

I mean, wow.

Godspeed to them.

I just felt like that video, you know, needed its whole

little segment right there because I'm just so proud.

I'm so happy.

And, you know, I love seeing the best of the best happening.

And I feel like, you know, we lose sight of the great things.

We can do sometimes we're so bogged down with so many, like,

horrible images and things.

And then it's like, oh, yes.

Yes.

Thank you for restoring my faith.

And, you know,

I don't know moving forward and into the future.

Marcella, I'm going to come to you first,

since you're my little space girl, my little science chick.

What are you thinking?

I mean, I loved watching it from beginning to end.

I was nervous because there was a, they,

like, 10 minutes or 15 minutes before they had put a stop

to the mission or, you know, a pause.

And so it was kind of like, is it going to go?

Is it going?

And then they, they, they, they basically,

the arm came off, you know, of the shuttle.

And it was like, let's go, all systems go, you know,

it kind of gives you back to the times when, you know,

back to the old days.

I know with SpaceX, we've become more accustomed

to this kind of things.

But, I mean, I'm just so proud.

But the funny thing is it happened on April full day.

So that kind of, that was interesting part of it.

And a lot of people are making fun of it.

But it's been 50 years that we haven't gone near the moon.

This will not land there, but it will orbit the moon

and we attend a mission.

And Trump, President Trump, did a truth.

And in it, I, I love that he said,

we're winning in space on earth everywhere.

And we dominate.

And I like that feeling, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, I do too.

And, you know, I see people commenting,

like if you're a Gen Xer.

So when the challenger blew up, I mean, crazy.

And I just remember I went to boarding school, you guys,

for high school.

And I was sick that day.

And so I was like in the little lounge watching.

It was the only thing on the TV.

I didn't know much about it.

But I'm watching it take off.

And then I swear my thought was like when it exploded,

I was like, wow, takeoffs are aggressive.

Like what the heck is happening here?

Like I didn't even like realize what was happening.

And, you know, so now, then when you realize what happened,

I was like, you're like, everybody is commenting.

Like, you hold your breath.

You're like, is it okay?

Did they get past that point that the challenger got past?

Like you, you just, you hold your breath and pray.

And I'm so happy that, you know, it seemed to go without a hitch.

And Owen, tell us your, your space story.

Yeah, well, I mean, I, I'm very proud of the country

and everyone that was involved.

I think it's a huge accomplishment for them.

For the country.

I'm glad we're taking the lead on this.

And it, like, like Marcellus said,

it's been, you know, at least 50 years, maybe longer,

depending on your perspective of what happened back in the 60s.

But, you know, I had questions about that.

Like I was like, how are they getting through the Van Allen

Ration Belt?

And that was missing from all those stories.

I didn't see any stories about the launch saying,

here's how they figured out how to get past that Van Allen

radiation belt.

I asked Grock about it.

And it said something about, like,

maybe they could have the right angle

so they could kind of maybe move along with the particles.

So they're not getting hit by the particles.

And maybe they have some kind of shielding.

For this mission.

Yeah.

Because that was, I mean, that, that's one of the things

where they said, oh, we lost the technology.

We don't know how they did it.

Like, it's like, come on.

Come on.

He didn't lose all, you know.

And, like, somebody figured it out.

But somebody knows how they did it.

And so that's a question in my mind still is, like,

how did they get through the Van Allen Ration Belt

without, you know, having lots of radiation

hit them and killing them.

And, but they, you know, it looks like they did it.

So that's a huge accomplishment,

whether it's the first time or not, you know, or not.

But, you know, I'm also interested in what's on the dark

side of the moon.

You know, there's all those conspiracy theories there.

So I'm like, waiting for the footage to say,

show me the dark side of the moon.

Because they're circling it right now as I understand it.

So they should have lots of footage.

I don't know if they're broadcasting any of it

or exactly how that's going.

But, you know, supposedly they're orbiting around the moon.

And so they should be able to see all that stuff.

And so it's kind of interesting from a lot of different perspectives.

And then the reactions, there was this viral clip

where they asked some kid, like, why are you interested this?

Or why did you come out to watch the launch?

And he's like, we're going to the F and Moon.

I thought, like, good.

He's like, we're going to be so excited.

But you didn't say anything.

Yeah.

And then, and of course, we have to show what the other side said.

So Tom Castello from NBC, he said, we should celebrate.

He said, I think it's important and relevant to take a moment to say,

wow, we should be collectively not as Americans,

not as North Americans, but as just as humans,

proud of the achievement here that humans have been able to do this.

So we're about to go even further.

So he was like saying, no, no, this isn't American accomplishment.

It's just a human accomplishment.

It's just a human accomplishment.

It's just come on to you.

Just like for once in your life,

show some patriotism, show some spirit.

Like we did it, the Chinese didn't do it.

And we use it.

Oh my god.

Right.

Exactly.

Like we're doing it.

And so this is going to just be so fun for so many reasons.

Like, will the images line up?

Like, can we ever act?

Like, okay.

This is just the chick talking.

Okay.

I know nothing.

But why can't they land on the moon this time?

They will eventually,

Artemis 3 in 2028 is supposed to land.

Again, they are redoing everything.

So this is part of that,

figuring that out and how it would work.

Eventually, it will land on the moon.

And then there will be like possibly a,

like they're going to have, you know,

a constant presence, presence in the moon.

My brother, you might not know,

is an aerospace engineer.

So I was texting with him yesterday.

He was part of NASA's this particular project before.

And I asked him a few questions.

And, you know, my brother is like,

oh, yeah, the others part is over because I asked him,

they're supposed to do the moon's gravity,

through the moon's gravity,

they're supposed to slingshot back to Earth.

And I asked him, like, is that difficult, Mauricio?

And he was like, no, no, that's the,

if they know how to, how to maneuver the,

and go around, then it's going to be, you know,

it's, it's elementary.

I was like, all right.

Yeah.

I'm just wondering, you know,

did we actually ever land there?

And like, we can't do it 50 years later.

There's not technology.

So I'm just like, yeah.

What's going to be revealed when they actually do land on the moon?

Is it going to look the same as it did in the,

you should video back in the day?

I mean, that was, as I understand it,

again, assuming we actually did land on the moon,

that the big, one of the big challenges was that,

you know, you need all that fuel to get out of Earth's atmosphere.

But then you also need lots of fuel to get off the moon

and to make your way back.

And then I know gravity's less.

So it's a little easier.

But you still, it was like, you know,

we only have so much room and so much weight that we can take.

And so it was kind of an engineering challenge just to say,

how do we make sure not only do we have enough to get there,

but to get back.

And, you know, that,

that might be a lot less of a concern now,

because I'm sure we've had so many advances in energy

that we probably can do a lot more with less weight at this point.

But still, I'm sure that's just a physics problem.

And, yeah, I think,

and I didn't, I didn't miss the fact that the Artemis II

from Lockheed Martin was pointier than the SpaceX rockets.

I don't think that was an accident.

Did you, did you guys,

did the toilet malfunction?

See?

I didn't hear about that now.

Flowers.

I needed,

it is now fixed integrity,

the actual where there are the astronauts.

If there was a toilet malfunction,

they can bring Mark with next time and they'll have it plumber.

Oh, yeah.

Somebody was, I'm not,

I guess I'm not so knowledgeable about this,

but they were quoting like,

oh, they need that guy from the Big Bang theory

because the toilet malfunction was like,

I don't, I didn't watch that.

I don't know that.

I don't know that.

I didn't catch that reference either.

I've seen it a bunch of times,

but I certainly haven't seen all of them.

Yeah.

They don't get to the moon for six days.

The dark side of the moon is just the back side

that we don't see due to the orbit.

They are looking for a parking spot.

Well, K Huntermer,

we shall see.

Yeah.

We have a, we have a theory about the other side of the moon.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it'll be interesting if they just sort of

cut out the footage and say,

oh, it's dark.

We're not going to broadcast as we get back to the light side.

Yeah.

We love a good little theory.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

So you guys, so congratulations,

Godspeed to them.

And we pray all goes well.

We cannot wait to see the footage and hear all about it.

So congratulations to everybody.

Oh, and I heard that one of the gems on the view was like,

well, now that NASA is doing that,

we don't need SpaceX anymore.

I'm like, oh, my God,

people just walk and chew gum.

Just try it.

So let's get into some news.

I know, oh,

and you were going to start us off with something.

Yeah.

So there's apparently a connection between

thinking that speech is harmful

and progressive ideology and being depressed, all three.

So the article seems to be kind of pointing in the forward direction

of if you think speech is harmful,

then you're more likely to be,

or it might cause you to be progressive in your ideology

or be depressed.

I certainly think it could go the other way.

It could be backward science that maybe because you're depressed

or because you're progressive ideology,

that you might be more likely to think that speech is harmful.

Because that certainly seems like the more logical direction to me.

So I think this qualifies as backward science.

But I also think it qualifies as it just asks about.

You could have just asked,

you know, if you could have told you that,

you didn't need to study it.

Everyone knows that.

And, you know, I think it's also maybe one of those,

you just can't fix this.

Like someone from the outside can't really fix this.

That's right.

I mean, did we need to,

did we need to hear this study slash story?

No.

Like just look around.

Look at, I was going to say,

look at all the parades they have.

What are they called protests?

For me.

Those people are not happy.

I, you know, it's, it's sad for them.

But, and they're also paid.

But yes, that was definitely backward science as Scott would say.

Marcella, I'm going to toss over to you.

Tell us what you have for us.

Well, the boss is not the boss anymore.

So this morning, I was like,

I know Trump truted or whatever he wanted to call it.

He was on the roof.

And I was like, I know he's going to be on there.

I know he's going to be there.

And so he was right at 458 in the morning, I think he said,

a bad and very boring singer of Bruce Springsteen who looks like a dried up,

who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of

really bad plastic surges has long had a horrible and incurable case

of Trump's arrangement syndrome.

Sometimes referred to as TDS, the guy is a total loser.

He spews hate against the president who won a landslide election,

including the popular vote, all seven swing states,

and 86% of the counties across America.

Under sleepy Joe and the dams her country was dead.

Now, we have the hottest country by far anywhere in the world.

Maga should boycott his overpriced causes, which suck,

save your heart or money in America's back.

So it is what it is.

I know that they that Bruce Springsteen and in his band,

we're going to do a protest concert tour against evil dictator Trump.

So I can imagine a worse choice for that band,

because his whole identity is like America, right?

He used to have the flag behind him, didn't he?

Yeah, but you know what?

You guys, I always tell you, look up the lyrics to born,

the lyrics are born in the USA or anti-American.

And people don't realize that.

It's a just check them out, look it out.

He's, he's not pro-America.

And you know, he did that kind of as just a way to have people think that,

but his messaging has never been pro-America.

Is this a jersey thing?

Because he's from Jersey, right?

And he's one of your people.

Is it a jerk?

Is what?

Do I look like an old lesbian or a cheaper one?

Yeah, like what the hell is that mean?

I'm just wondering where he got all this from, you know?

He's an idiot.

No, I don't, I don't have any respect for him.

And I think it's a, but I do think it's a horrible choice.

Like I think it's just a way to turn against your audience,

because most of his audience probably does have a lot of patriotism.

And they're going to be entertained.

They're not going to a protest, you know?

Yeah, I mean, honestly, so yes, he lived in the same town.

I lived in, you know, I've seen him 8,000 times.

We've worked for him.

He used to come with his wife to a place of business that we had.

He's everywhere, you know, whatever.

My entire life, he's been around.

But, um, I was like about to talk at a school.

I'm just saying my friend.

So like, we, you know, everybody was cool with him.

Nobody bothers him here.

We're not like, you know, we don't act all Hollywood here.

Although now with Netflix coming, we'll see what happens.

But, um, he's just never been pro-America.

Like he's always been woke.

And the people that still like him.

Typically are older and liberal.

And, but I will give him this.

So we went to one of his concerts because like, you know,

we have friends that work for him and whatever.

And we were at Madison Square Garden standing right in front of the stage.

I did not want to go.

I begged to not go, but they made me go.

Um, she's like, say it, Erica.

I can't.

I'm going to get myself in so much trouble because I know too much.

So anyway, I will say his concert was really, really good.

And I didn't realize he was as good of a musician as he is.

Um, and like the ensemble, like his stamina was amazing.

The whole thing.

I hated every second of being there though, but.

I think that's what he's known for is the stamina part.

Like I did see him once live.

And my wife got tickets and we saw him and it was like a three hour thing.

And I don't think they knew any breaks.

I think they just went all three hours.

Yeah.

I missed the last train out of Penn station.

I'm like, come on.

I want to get on the train.

And just when you think it's over, like everyone's like,

I'm like, let's go.

We can get the last train.

Then all of a sudden, like Elvis Costello comes out and you're like another hour.

I'm like, I can't take it.

Um, but he was great.

But it's like his whole audience is so woke now.

And if they weren't woke before, his fan base is like rabid.

And he will turn them all woke.

So that's just kind of the way it's happening.

I'm just very disappointed in him.

And he's cheap.

He's cheap.

Okay.

I'm just putting it out there.

Let me just say this without getting into it further.

He's cheap.

Okay.

What's not cheap is his concerts.

That's right.

And he's pretty.

Yep.

I don't know.

I know too much.

I gotta stop.

I don't think he.

Is gonna see this still feelings fill.

We'll get you to spill in the subcave.

Or at the after show.

Yeah.

Maybe I the sub cave one.

I will do it.

Okay, so moving on.

And do you have a next story for us?

Yeah.

Elvis Costello was great by the way.

Yeah.

Of course there's still a war going on in Iran.

The big news of glossy,

them back to the stone ages. And so it does look like there's going to be a lot more bombing

going on over the next two or three weeks. He did say it was probably going to take another

two or three weeks. He said we're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two or three

weeks. We're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong. So I think people

took away that it was a pretty aggressive speech. Probably more than expected. I don't know why

there was so much surprise because I don't think it was really a departure from anything he had

been saying in the days leading up to it. But the stock market took a plunge. Don't look at your

stocks. It's not pretty. And oil prices went up and all the rest. And so it does look like we're

going to have another two or three weeks of bombing campaigns. He did threaten again to take out

all their power plants. He said he wasn't going to touch their oil because then they would have

no chance of recovery ever. But he said he's still thinking about doing the power plants

and that I know Hegseth recently said bombing is our negotiation strategy. We'd negotiate

with bombs. So it seems like we're having more and more stuff happen. And then there's more

810 warthogs heading over. And those are like the close air support where they can like

strafe people and do support a ground troops. So there may be more indication that maybe that's

coming in some form. And I think there's more people going over there. And there's more

ships going over there like the marine ships that would support any kind of amphibious

operations. So it seems like we're still building up at this point. And there's probably going

to be some more stuff happening. I wonder how the Iranian people are doing.

You know, there were, you know, they're so excited to be, you know, having this happen on one

hand because they don't want to live that way. But I wonder how they're surviving all of this.

I can't even imagine hearing a bomb going off period. And like the, the PTSD you would have

of like, is it going to fall on me? Like, I don't know. Do you think they're, do you think that

they're strategic enough? I mean, then there was the girls school. And then I heard there was

another school that got hit like a bunch of boys, young boys. And it's somewhere out there.

I think that one might have been debunked. You think? Well, there was, I can't remember the exact

details, but there was something that also was on the first day of the campaign. And there was

some accusation that they had hit some civilians in some civilian facility. And there was a statement

from St. Count saying we looked into it and it wasn't from us. It was an Iranian missile.

And so they were pretty sure about this one and pretty quick to say this wasn't us. We didn't do

that. Yeah. Yeah. Ms. Virginia Adams did say you can get used to anything. But man, that's got to be

so scared. I mean, for anybody who's been living under conditions like that, like we are so lucky

where we are, you guys. So let's remember that when you're poo pooing America, like Bruce Springsteen,

you know, we're so lucky. But you know, and a lot of these things are happening. Yeah, you could

look at it like, okay, because they have resources that we want. But it's happening. I'm going to just

say also because there are these horrible regimes people are living under. And when you look at the

pictures of how Iran used to be and the women and like it was like beautiful. And everybody looked,

you know, happy and the women were wearing pretty dresses. And you know, now like, I mean, have you

ever been in a story, you guys? I was at Target one time years ago. And two women came around

the corner, but in the full hijab where there was just like a slit for their eyes. Like sometimes I

see people with the headscarf, but I was like literally it took my breath away when I saw them. It

was so scary to me to see people like that here in our country. And I was like, and why are you

like that here in our country? Like, you don't have to be that way. You know, but it was really scary.

And I don't know. That could be interesting. Interesting thing is I had friends that were Muslim.

And a lot of them choose to do that. There's no reason they their husbands or their family doesn't

force them. I had a friend that her family was a very liberal Muslim. And she believed, you know,

in her religion. And she wanted to have that as a token to God or whatever to cover herself up.

So a lot of the times what I realize is that the women are the ones that promote it. Not the men

as much. Right. That's an interesting part. And they push their sons to only many women like that.

So I could certainly see that from different perspectives. One might be that sort of

introspectual competition where you know, there's plenty of slut-shaming here in America. And it's

probably just on another level with the Muslims because they have different standards of how you're

supposed to dress. And I'm not encouraging that. I'm just saying I could see that happening where

it's more driven by the women as opposed to anybody else because they would call each other out if

they're not complying with things or doing something more attractive or more tempting than the other

women are doing. So I could certainly see that. Yeah. Maybe I don't know. I remember watching

something about like the women in Kuwait and that have to have the whole hijab. And underneath

they're wearing like Gucci and they're all dead. And they have like meetups with their girlfriends

because they can't be out in public. And they're like, take off the hijab. And then they're like,

you know, very Kardashian looking and they they they hate it. Like they're like, we can't believe

we have to act this way, dress this way. And I was just like, God, like you should you should but

you should be able to wear what you want to wear is the point. And and that's, you know, freedom.

So not just that obviously, but you know, the fact that they that these women in Kuwait couldn't

just walk around in their Gucci and their Prada. They had to be covered from head to toe their face

everything. It's just it's just insane in my opinion. And if it's their opinion too when they

live there, I feel bad for them. That's um, let's scary thought. But I I hope that the people in

Iran, the good people in Iran are okay. Um, I hope that they can see this through. And you know what,

I just want to add on one more thing. I wish I had thought about this further so I could articulate

it in a way that it was to me. But um, I'm going to botch it. But so sometimes, no, you know what I'm

going to do? So this is something Joel had said to me, Joel Pollock, we were on the phone the other

day. And he had such a good way of explaining to me, we were talking about Passover and what freedom

really is. And that, you know, sometimes like you're walking across the desert to get to, you know,

your freedom. And maybe the first group that was walking, you know, most of them didn't make it.

But they also still knew that they were like walking away from like, you know, slavery. So they

still had all of that like slave mentality on them. Like we were slaves like, you know, maybe that

first group that had to face it still had to carry that burden. But they paved the way for like the

second group to be like, Oh, the people that went before me, you know, they're the ones that

broke through. So then we could come after. And that's why like the second wave of people are the

ones that really made it. Um, so I feel like, you know, maybe this is the first rung of that type of

thing. So the people that are living in Iran right now, you know, that had to live through all of this.

Like they're kind of paved the way for their freedom. I hope and I hope that more make it behind them.

That was so inarticulate. But when Joel said it to me, I was like, wow, that's a really good way

of looking at like what's what you're already living with and what you have to carry on top of

what you want. So it's a big burden. So I pray in whatever way I pray for anyone living that way.

So Marcello or Owen, did you want to add on to anything with that story?

Yeah. I mean, I would just say like I understand what you're saying to you. And another angle to that

might just be that as if you grow up with those types of standards, like I'm supposed to be under a

burger or a job or whatever it is, you might consider that almost like a safety thing. Like I'm safe

if I'm in this. I'm not safe if I'm not in this. And you might just feel really uncomfortable without

it on. If you're out in public and you feel like, oh, I'm doing something wrong. Someone might do

something to me. Yeah. And then maybe they raise their kids differently. You know, they might say,

we don't want this, but it's, you know, probably often hard to just adjust and live a completely

different way than what you're used to. Mm-hmm. Perhaps. All right. We'll move on.

So there's a Trump that the post says kangaroo court. So I don't know what he, which, I mean,

I don't know which court he meant because there's so many cases that come out that one

a federal judge blocked a mass termination, a parole for nearly 900, 900,000 migrants

who entered via a CBP1 app under Biden, sleepy Biden. And so basically she and did

all of this, all at once, the judge did. And that was shocking because it's going to create a massive

amount of court blockage because the reason that she did that is that you can't really do a blank

mass termination of parole via one order. You have to do it pursuant to every case, which in a way

I agree with with her, but with the judge. But at the same time, it becomes almost impossible

to do that in a timely manner. So I'm sure it's going to get appealed beyond this point.

And the Supreme Court might have to hear it. There was another case, a conversion therapy case,

where the Supreme Court cited with President Trump eight to one decision,

the Supreme Court in that one had struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors.

It wasn't President Trump's particularly his deal, but it is a conservative

position to have conversion therapy. I don't know if you're familiar with that, but basically

it came down eight to one. Put it in the chat if you know who was the one that was against it.

Who was the one? You know who was the one? The one out of all of them and you're like,

I'm the one. You're the one. Which justice was it that was against conversion therapy to have

the freedom? Yep. Katanji Brown Jackson. Yes. Jackson Brown. What is it?

Brown Jackson. Brown Jackson. Brown Jackson. Okay. Yes. Yeah. But there was also recently the case

where judge blocked the construction of the ballroom and the defunding of NPR and PBS.

So there's a lot of stuff happening in a lot of, you know, what I would call obstruction

happening in the courts where it's like they get these activist judges. They maybe even shop it

around to find the right judge, but then they get them to put in some injunction and just stop

every single thing that Trump is doing. And it's just ridiculous. And the thing is to the ballroom

as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, like it's not even like Trump's going to ever get to use

it, right? But he's building it for the future. And to me, it's embarrassing to bring people into

a tent. Like I said, the other day, so he's building a big, beautiful ballroom. It's not costing

anybody money. He'll never get to use it. And they're just mad because why? And I was looking at

like a bigger mock up of the site. It looks like every other built, like it looks completely

in proportion to everything else that's around it. So it's not like he put like a glass tower

next to it. And he's like, here's the ballroom. And it's like this, you know, 30 foot tower. I mean,

30 story tower. So I get right. Oh, and it's just because it's Trump. And they can't stand it.

Silly. Yeah, they said that Congress needs to approve it. So for the ballroom,

they're not used to somebody like President Trump that just does things, you know, and he just does

things. But I would Congress need to approve it if it's not coming out of taxpayer dollars. I know

Congress has the power of the purse, but if it's not being paid for by taxpayers, then what

authority do they have to say no? It's not about funding. It's about the actual projects that

are done on federal like the White House and Congress, the buildings themselves. It always has

to go through Congress. So it's not really a funding issue. It's more of like you should have

shown the plans than going through the procedures, you know, and President Trump jumps that, you

know, that's how you just don't get ever anything done at all. That's, yeah, that's important.

There was that John Stewart, I think, had a clip recently that came out about the broadband project.

I think that Biden was doing in the build back better. And he basically was coming to the realization,

I don't know if he ever said it, but that Elon Musk was right about how inefficient things are

and how much waste and stupid things happen because they went through this process that was outlined

in the build back better plan for this broadband stuff. And it's like there's 12 steps to it.

And so you have to like, I mean, you have to like issue, you know, issue requests for proposals.

And then you have to go get them challenged in each of the states and you got to do like it.

And it's just step after step after step after step. And like until you reach the end of those

12 steps, you can't even actually do anything. So it's like, and I think they said, you know, they

were down to like nine of the, they only had nine left at the end of that process or that they

nine of them dropped out or something, but at some high percentage of them, I think never made it

to the end of the 12. So that's why nothing ever happened is because they just couldn't get through

this government red tape where you have to like let everybody challenge things. And the federal

government needs to be able to say no or yes to the state proposal. And then the very last step

was to do like subgrants to subcontractors to actually do the work. So it's like, you, you don't

actually even hire the people that would do the work. And like if you have this whole plan worked

out that's been approved by the government and then you put it out to bid, those subcontractors

might say, well, it's going to cost twice as much or it's not feasible or this plan won't work.

Like it's, it's totally backwards. And why would you want to try? You need to be honest, I

am actually on the side of you need to actually go through certain, certain channels because

you know, I'm very hopeful that we'll always have a Republican president, but we might have a

Democratic president that goes, oh, Trump did this. I can do this. So I mean, the reason why it needs

to go through a certain channels is that the White House is a historic building. So I mean,

a lot of us maybe live in the east coast or something if you have a historic house or whatever

you need to get certain permits to build to it. The same with I would imagine something historic,

like the White House, you can't just go and destroy part of it and then put a new building in.

So I mean, to be, it's like the filibuster rule, our people want to get rid of it is just,

I think that people need to think further in the future because any Democrat can use what Trump

is doing now in their own fashion. I'm not worried about that. And I'll tell you why. I think if Biden tried

to do the same thing, nothing would have ever happened. That's right. It wouldn't. But I'm saying,

that 12-step process is what Biden proposed, like that was what they wanted it to be.

And I think the comment with John Stewart with whoever his guest was is like, it's basically

designed to get as much money out of the taxpayers as possible before you actually do any real work.

And it's like, I'm guessing that if Biden took on the project of rehabilitating the East Wing

in whatever way they thought was proper, we'd still be studying something. We'd still be issuing

proposals or getting feedback or whatever. We wouldn't have broke ground. Nothing would have

happened. And so I'm not worried about the other side because I don't think they can do anything.

What's going to happen when somebody wants a mosque on the property?

Right. So I mean, that's why there's checks and balances. That's why I came to America.

Because in my country, there's no checks and balances. So I actually, I'm for checks and balances.

So to your point, there shouldn't be any checks and balances. But I am thinking like, you know,

first of all, Trump is maybe uniquely the type of person who can make all this stuff happen

quickly and properly because he's done so much construction that he has the experience as the

commander-in-chief. And I know he's not doing the work, but he can, you know, review things really

quickly and he knows how to get things done as far as that stuff goes. And so I think it's

different having him as president than anybody else. And I also think that, you know,

I certainly would object if it was like, hey, we're putting a golf course on the, you know,

White House lawn or we're, you know, we're building some big tower or something like that would be

different. But as you said earlier, it's like this looks just like the rest of the White House. And

it's, you know, very consistent with the architecture and it's not anything that anyone would really

have any reason to object to. And so if you put all this bureaucracy in there just to rubber stamp

everything every step of the way, but it takes months or years to go through those steps,

then you're just introducing delay for no good reason. You're just saying, okay, we got to go

through these steps just so we can say we did. We didn't actually accomplish anything. We just,

you know, added two or three or five years to the process. Yeah. And you could eliminate

a million of those steps. I mean, it's like New Jersey. I swore I would never

operate another business in New Jersey again because it was like at some point I'm like, just,

all right, so I literally was building a business. And the thing, the requirements they wanted me

to have for what the function of the business was was like it didn't even, you couldn't even make

sense of it. I'm not kidding you guys. I literally said to the nice lady in like the building

department one day, I was like finally in tears. I was at my breaking point. I was like, listen,

you guys forgive me. If you don't know me, this is normal. I was like, listen, I'm going to turn around

and I'm going to just start shooting $100 bills out of my ass. And when you have the amount you

need for this entire thing to be okay, like just let me know because that's all this is about

as she started laughing. I'm like, obviously, you just want money. Like everything was like,

we need 500 for this. We need $45 for that. We need 200 for this. Now you have to, I'm like,

just tell me how much money you want because you're killing, you're like killing me with this like

slow drip of we have rules and we have the, and I was like, I'm never doing business in the state

again. And then the taxes and like if you make this much money. So it's, it's all a grift and it,

it discourages good people from doing good things that are going to help other people.

They make it so hard. So even like with this project, it's like, it seems like they just like

handed down a binder full of paper and we're like, okay, everybody take a shot at it and

write a rule that you want there to be in here. And everyone's like, oh, let's do this too. And

like you can't do it on a Tuesday after three o'clock. And this, you know, it's like such a bullshit to

get something done. So, you know, and again, somebody reminded me, I met him in Jack Pasobeck

reminded me the other day that I'm sorry, I forget the name. Is it the keys bridge that was hit

by that tanker a couple of years ago? In Baltimore? In Baltimore?

Nothing's happened. It's just still a wide open gap. Like, so this is what I'm talking about.

If we add in the nuclear side, like there's another story I saw recently where the tear power,

which is that Bill Gates backed nuclear firm, they're doing the small modular reactors, I think. But

they, they said they were able to get all the engineering work that traditionally in the past

has taken 18 months and they completed it in eight weeks. So it's like two months instead of 18,

like it's a small fraction of what it used to be. And I think it's using digital twin technology,

like, you know, which is a little bit like an AI thing, but it's, you know, not quite the same. But

you know, with all the various advances we have, I think a lot of these things can be done a lot

faster. But I think the bureaucracy is the slow part. It's like, you know, if you say we got to allow

90 days for feedback or we've got to allow however long for people to submit proposals or we've

got to allow, you know, all these things. And then we multiply that by 12 steps or 50 steps or

however many you put in the process, then you're still limited to saying, okay, even if I can do it

in a day, I've got to wait three months for a response. And once I get the response, maybe I

got to go back and do something else. And it just is just painfully slow. Yeah, just

but the analogy doesn't work there. A lot, you know, you can't compare that to the White House,

which is a historical building, you know, so you can have the difference to me. It's too too many

steps, too much red tape. It's the White House. I mean, it hasn't been that long since he started

being president. No, I get it. It's the White House. But that's my point. Like like everything,

everyone wants to put their fricking stamp on everything and their opinion into everything.

Well, guess who can change the rules? Congress can change those rules.

I, it comes again to Congress not doing their job of actually, you know, updating all these

antiquated, slow-moving rules. And one of the reasons could be fraud, just my opinion,

and possibly Trump's opinion, because he brought up the Federal Reserve Building in a post about

this historic preservation. He talked about the Federal Reserve Building. This taken so much,

you know, that they're not suing them to stop it. It's taken billions of dollars to build it.

And now this that's not being paid by by the Congress or any any taxpayer, they're blocking that

possibly because that's not how it goes. You didn't go through the right channels. You didn't

pay the right lobbyist, you know, so I'm looking at the comments. It is a free ballroom for sure.

Let me just let you guys on a little secret. Let's just do it this way.

In 2028, when there's a new Republican president, I don't care if it's Vance, Rubio,

Dessant, whoever it is, nothing will change. They will then have Vance's arrangement syndrome.

So it does not matter, you guys, they did the same thing with George Bush,

they will do the same thing with the next president. It went, the Democrats are like literally,

they're getting more cookie by the minute. So it does not matter who the next president is going

to be like, they're like, oh, no, it's just because it's Trump. No, it's not going to matter. You'll

say it's so nothing's going to change. Speaking of cookie Democrats, there was this birthright

citizenship case and Katani Brown Jackson put a hypothetical in front of the court to consider

and she said that the way she put it is, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese

authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning they can control you as a

matter of law. So there's this relationship, based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm

still locally owing allegiance in that sense. So it sounds like what she's saying is if you want

to show allegiance to your country, it goes to your wallet. I can't. I think Trump was sitting

there when she said that too. I don't even know what to respond to that. I'm wondering how the

lawyer did respond, but I think they shut her down pretty handily and explained why that wasn't

the case. But yeah, I don't understand how a Supreme Court justice could say something that stupid.

Because that was Biden's pick. By the way, does anyone know who

gave her to Biden? I want to know who, like, go backers in the trail. Like, who said this is your,

this should be it, because me wasn't him. You know, I don't, I should look into it, but I think

a lot of the justices are picked from the DC Circuit. Their court of appeals judges are ready in DC

and are well known to the political, you know, I'm forgetting too. I forgot DEI.

Like, I'm thinking they just picked somebody. Now I'm remembering that they needed like a black

woman. Yeah, Biden definitely said that, I think. Yeah, he did. Okay. So she was the best black woman

they could find. Fantastic. Well, she's a gem. She has major dreams of being famous and being an

actress. So I'm like thinking somebody. So she? Yes. She does. She was on on a Broadway stage. Like,

they brought her up to act out a part in a Broadway stage totally inappropriate. As, as, as, as

a justice, she went up on stage on Broadway to like dance around in some show. I'm like, this is so

pathetic. And I think she might have even been in a TV show. I'm not sure. But I think some,

like, Patriot should offer her as leading role where she plays a judge, almost like a night court

kind of show. And she gets to play a judge and she gets her show. But she's got to leave the

Supreme Court to go do this job. So it's just a nice way of being like, here lady, we're going to

put you over here. Okay. You, you go over here and you're going to play a judge just like you are

now. And then we go fill that seat with someone amazing because this has, this is a joke. And I

can't even imagine it was eight to one. Like, do you think she has any self-awareness where she

looks around and she's like, Oh, am I the one? It's just so crazy. Yeah. You know,

you know, it's Kalea, just as Kalea, my favorite justice of all time, he used to be sometimes the

only one because he would always be against, you know, against the grain. And so there's some kind

of thing in the Supreme Court where you are kind of become entrenched as with your own political

viewpoints or, you know, your own legal viewpoints. So she might be there and she might like that

because she gets that attention. Sure. It was Hamilton. She appeared in Hamilton.

I said, I was going to say that sounds something like she would like. But she's like a,

she is like a local municipal judge in my opinion. Like, she's just, I'm sorry, I'd like, she's

too stupid to be there. It's not right. Like, her decisions affect this entire country.

It's not right. Can you impeach a judge? How do you get rid of one?

Um, you, she's appointed for life. I know. I think there is an impeachment process. But like all

the other impeachment processes, it's never going to actually happen. They would, I don't think

they'd even bother trying because they would know. Number one, that it would just never remove

that person from office. And number two, given that, you know, it would just be a big spectacle and

wouldn't, it would just maybe pit the branches of government against each other in a pointless way.

Like, there's no reason to go through that whole process for that. And so I doubt that would

ever happen unless there was some massive scandal. Like, you know, somebody really was an Epstein

pedophile or something where it's like, everybody agrees this guy got to go, you know, but I think,

you know, short of something really, really massive scandal. I don't think he's not scandalous

enough. I mean, it is for me, but I don't, I don't think it's going to work. I don't, I don't think

she's, she's dumb. I, I really don't, because to get to that level, you, you really can't be.

And, but again, it's not a matter of intelligence as we see in a lot of very intelligent, educated

people don't, don't have any common sense. So I think Marcella. Marcella, what is a woman?

Well, I mean, she has her viewpoints just like you do. So she gets to what is a woman?

She didn't even express her viewpoint. She's like, right. I can't. We know that, you know, not

everybody's going to see the world like we do. And so she has her own viewpoints. And I have mine,

you know, but her viewpoints are disqualifying as a chief justice. Let's get real old again,

Congress. And again, she got there because of DEI, not because she's so smart that she worked

up the ranks to get there. She was like, what they thought was the best black woman. So, and like,

how embarrassing, like how embarrassing? Oh, I'm here because I was what they thought was the best

black woman, not the best person, not even the best woman, the best black, she gay,

is she gay? Please tell me she's gay too, because I'm going to die if she's gay.

No, somebody tell me she's married. Oh, I can't. I would also just point out

directly that she is not the best black woman choice. There are plenty of other black women

that are a lot smarter that they could have chosen. That's right. It's never about, it's who you know,

you know, so again, the DC core, they want you to really do what you want them to do.

All right, enough on her. It's nearly to a white guy, they say. Of course.

This is like so, Don Lemon. Oh, or Don Lemon is going to be president.

Oh, of what?

Of nothing. Yeah, I'm like, oh, what? He wants to run for president.

He expressed a desire to run for president. And he said he would be a better president than Trump.

Oh, my God, the man. Oh, loves him. Can you imagine that guy in the Oval Office?

I mean, that's the best story to end on. He, that man loves himself. And it's so fun to me,

because all these like racist, I want to just curse so bad, say people are all married to white men.

And I'm like, Oh, even Don, right? Yes, married. Yep, to a white guy.

Neil is, is, um, will be governor. She's not married, but she's, she dates white men

when she was dating. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know what all she does. She

knows. But yeah, no, but everybody's so hypocritical, sunny, hosting,

hostile, hostile, whatever her name is. She's married to a white guy.

I'm just, I always want to say sunny hostage, hostile, I think of. Yeah. It's, it's something.

But, um, the market recovered. Is that true? Maybe coming back a little bit. Let me see.

Yeah. Whoopi and Ted Danson, although he wore black face when he dated her. So

everything's backwards and upside down. You guys, you know, that's, that's our lesson for today.

Everything is just not so. And sharks have cocaine in them. Yeah, cooking sharks.

I knew I would get a laugh. I don't know. Day out of the water.

Right? I feel like we're so chaotic today. It's mostly my fault. You guys, I'm just

delusional and tired. But listen, we did it. We made it through this show. And tomorrow,

oh, Marcella, you're not going to be here tomorrow. We're going to miss you.

You miss my viewpoints. I'm going to miss everything, my girl. So Marcella, you have a case

you're doing tomorrow, our attorney girl. Right? Good luck. I'm winning tomorrow. Yes, you are.

She's going to win. Digly. But Owen and I will be here, maybe with a guest and maybe without a

guest. So you guys just have to tune in to see you guys. Let's have a closing sip. Love you all

so much. This was so fun today. A Scott approved show. Crusher says amazing. So thank you so much for

being here. Let's have a closing sip to our beloved Scott and to our Shelley. And we will be back

tomorrow in the meantime, you guys just do something amazing today. Let's, let's remember, we've got

a spaceship up there going around. And we're going to find out all sorts of good things. And

America is the greatest country in the world. And you are the greatest people,

cippers and friends we could ever have. So let's go. You guys just gotten Shelley. Let's be useful.

And we'll see you tomorrow. All right. Be useful.

Use my cold coffee. I'll wait for you guys to say bye.

There's a cocaine shark. All right, guys. See you later.
