So Woody Harrison, who was the actor from a lot of different movies. He was in white man canjab. I don't know. It's just a great actor man. He was and a lot of different. He wasn't to. Anyways, play the clip on what he just said on SNL. And then people's reaction.

I'm going to send you something to show how the entire media reacted to this. Go for it. Hey, so the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world Stay locked in their homes and people can only come out if they take the cartels drugs and, and keep taking them over and over. Wow. That's through the script away. I mean, who is going to believe that crazy idea? Hey, so the boss is going to be a boss. Now, do me a favor show a show what I just texted to you and show how the market reacted immediately after that SNL went live. You have to see what these guys said. If you can put this up, I'll give you just three stories.

If you can just pull these things up. You know, he's out of his mind. He has no clue what he's talking about. Go ahead and make that bigger. Check this out. Let's see if we can open it up. Boom. Check this out.

Woody Harrison, Saturday Night Live monologue, makes COVID conspiracy jokes. Variety. So Rolling Stone, Woody Harrelson, Harry Harrison, Saturday Night Live monologue makes COVID conspiracy jokes, variety. So Rolling Stone, Woody Harrelson, spreads anti-vax conspiracy during SNL monologue. Kuff Poe, Woody Harrelson, rambles about wheat and anti-vax conspiracy in a Salama. Can you imagine this is a guy that is in Hollywood. He's a product of your industry, which by the way, when I saw him talk about what he said here,

do you remember Woody Harrelson in the movie 2012 where he was a conspiracy theorist on the top of the mountain saying the end of the world is coming? Yeah. Do you guys remember that whole thing? Of course. That's the first thing I thought him, I'm like, did this guy, if the media really wanted

to do a good job taking a shot at him, they would play a clip and saying, he hasn't left this movie yet. He's still a conspiracy theorist from the movie, but they didn't do that. They missed the mark. Anyways, when you saw something like this about what he was the first thing you thought about. Well, first first, first Pat hilarious ball Z because think about it. You're in one of the most liberal cities on them.

One of the most biased left leaning shows. I wanted to ask you guys and Adam Adam maybe you can even ask Marcelo, they have to approve your monologue. He's reading it off a teleprompter. The fact, I mean, the fact that they're always, always left leaning, good on them for going, you know what, the hell with it, go do it in my help with, with viewership, but if you think about it, bro,

I commend people like that, that take their platform to kind of put fun to make, like, but make their platform to kind of put fun to make, like, but make their point as well. And what a perfect time, especially when all this lab leak crap is coming. This was last Saturday, Pat. This is the most recent one.

I say good for him. I'm curious to see, I wanna know what happened, maybe some of his family or something happened with his life or how his career is gonna be effective. There's another clip with him and Bill Marr. Maybe I'll just find out when I'll Twitter, but go ahead Adam. What do you think about when he see this?

I'm just wondering if a retraction or apology is coming Yeah, you might be like I misspoke this was on a different I was smoked on a weed yeah, but I think one thing we can all agree upon I again, I'm not the conspiracy theory guy want what I what I What I will say is I'm very comfortable calling out big pharma because there's no money made in immunity. Like there's no money to be made in, let's just naturally immunize and just go from there. How many billions of dollars that they make from vaccines?

So to me, calling out big pharma, there's nothing wrong with that. At the same time, you know, calling out big pharma, there's nothing wrong with that. At the same time, not everything big pharma does is bad. Of course. That would be sort of disingenuous. They do provide drugs that do safe people's lives, cancer treatments, diabetes, the list goes on and on. But there's no doubt this kind of leads to a bigger question

of whether you know healthcare should be nationalized or whether it should be basically a for profit organizations like this but it's fully in the right if we just establish anything to have this conversation to have this debate if there's anything we've learned shutting down one side's opinion is a road to nowhere. Okay, and that's where censorship and communism sort of shows up, and that's not what America is. So hopefully, I'm not guaranteeing it.

Hopefully, we have at least as a society, are starting to learn our lesson that not shutting down opinions is the way to go. Oh my God, that was a lot of games. I think it was a good team. It sounded like Adams about to run for local city council or mayor or congress or senate. But go ahead, Adam. Well, my mom actually before you, my mom, my mom text me this right now.

Tell Adam, I think he looks great. That Sanchez guy is crazy and he's a nice guy after the show. I love you all. That's my mom. That's right. Shout out mom. Go ahead, mom. Thank you. No, No, I think it was really gutsy move. And whoever ripped that monologue is equally gutsy.

And whoever green lit it is also gutsy. And they're letting the blowback come to Woody Harrelson. And unless you completely go off script, Saturday Night Live is produced. And there's a producer. And they do edgy things with monologues and they play off the personalities that are co-hosted. I'd say one more thing about SNL.

Do that because Tom, if it isn't SNL monologue, then let's see what he said to Bill Marcus. This is definitely not a monologue. So why don't you play this real quick? And then Adam, I'm gonna hear what you got to say. Yeah, I definitely want to hear that. There's the CDC promoting that we have to do all of these things, right? I just, I don't like profiteering in war. Interesting.

Think of the billions of dollars that have gone to big farmer. But I was getting back to my original point. The last people I would trust with, my health is big farmer and big government because neither one of those strikes me as caring in peace. Spoken as the perfect redneck hippie. Oh, really? If that message doesn't mean it's all about profit. Exactly.

And both sides know that. And both sides know that. I think they've seen the profit they've made. I think they've done a lot of studies about vitamin D and how important it was when the people who had low levels, they were much more... He's drinking positive. I love the shoes, the cookies, where...

Why not tell people that? Can't you make money selling vitamin D? Is it that kind of... What's the worst of good habits? But that's just it, man. There was only one thing you know, Ivermectin got made into a you know horse tranquilizer, horse whatever it is, but also used by humans.

It is by millions of millions of years. Hydroxychloric wind got made ridiculous and there was only one thing that could work and that's the vaccine, right? And so ultimately because of that, billions of dollars was made. Right. There's the sea prop.

Well, you know the drinking on that show too, that's Woody loose, his shoes are off, he's playing with his feet and he's just telling you how it is. And they're definitely smokers and weed. That's Woody loose his shoes are off. He's playing with his feet And he's just telling you how it is. They're definitely smokers and we As manager call them afterwards saying Woody what what that I just got a call you were gonna be on Transformers 28 And you're gone. Oh My god Well, I was gonna say something about SNL just because what we've seen as of late is there,

again, there's this return to normalcy. COVID has made everyone go insane. And Donald Trump, prior to that, has made a lot of people on the left lose their freaking mind. We're all familiar with Trump, deraines Mitch syndrome. So who played Trump on SNL for all those years? Alec Baldwin, anything happened to Alec Baldwin as of late.

It's either not as of late lately. Anyone get murdered by Alec Baldwin as of late. So if you see what's happening with Woody Harrelson, you're right, this was scripted, they knew this was happening. A month ago you had Dave Chappelle, say some wild ass shit. What's happening is just like how CNN, who's their new CEO, Chris Lycht. Lycht, okay, a lot of these liberal left-leaning

establishments are basically saying, listen guys, we can't just go to one audience. And eventually Jimmy Kimmel's gonna have to veer, right? Same with Fallon, same with Colbert. You can't just do the same stick. It gets old. So kudos to SNL for at least going down a path of calling out both sides, which they used to do, right? Kudos to CNN for even covering the,

the thing that happened in Ohio. They did it way more than Fox didn't. So you can either learn from what happened or double down to what happened. And I like to see outlets that are traditionally only left leaning, at least embrace other opinions. That's a step in the right direction. Call me diplomatic. Call me what you will. I'd like to see my head. I also put my media hat on and I think about it that somewhere inside SNL this week,

and it says, well, he's taken the heat, but the phrase, SNL monologue is in the headlines, and I hope people tune in next week to watch. Of course, yeah. And whereas Chris Lick is actually trying to get ratings back rather unsuccessfully, and he said people like Don Le Mone have his issues. But at SNL, I think they took a bet.

I think a producer said, all right, let's give it a try. And I think they're kind of happy about it because Herylson's getting the heat and they got a little publicity and says, hey, big things should happen on SNL. Two in next week and come check out. Good call. Very soon.

By the way, before we go away from this story, this is a 2012 article. So this has nothing to do with politics. This is under Obama. And this Kaley R. Kale writes this article, 12 diseases and the lucky places they're named for. Go, let's look at some of these 12 places. Number one,

Giny warm. Giny warm. Sounds like a Italian. Yeah, it's 70th and three. No, no, no, no, that's not much been eradicated by the efforts of the Carter Foundation. Okay, so the next one is West Nile virus. German measles keep going. Rass River fever. Umsk, Humor. Humor, you want to give that a shot for.

Humor, Humor, magic, phoenix, Ebola, hemorrhagic fever. Marburg virus disease, lassa fever, lacrosse, encef, falitis, cellulitis, okay. St. Louis encefalitis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, and Spanish flu, by the way, they don't know if it's really from Spain or if it's from France or Italy, it's a debate, so they don't 100% know

if it's Spanish from Spain or not to correct that. Your point is, hey, a lot of, yes, this disease is a name after the location of where it's normal to name the virus from where it's at? So maybe by the time this is over, they're gonna find a name it properly, what it's gonna call. I never fully got that as to why it was racist

to call it from China. I never got it. Well, because like Trump or not, it originated in China, moving. Well, I didn't understand why that was so controversial. I think that was my point because like I said, the government and Fauci knew they had to make it racist. Even China came on there.

Like that's racist because, bro, they all got skin in the game. I'm telling you, Fauci, our government, because dude, imagine this, one day you find out, hey, this thing that's going to be killing a million of us, millions of us came from a lab in a country that we're, you know, we have beef with, and we're paying for it. You gotta be like, no, don't look over here.

Races, I just, I feel like, Races is such as a watered down term that just gets thrown out like left and right these days. That again, we're looking for accountability here, China. And if it originated in a lab, or even in a bat in your wet market, like accountability here in China. And if it originated in a lab, or even in a bat in your wet market, like it originated in China. So, I'll get it.

Let's go to the next door. Let's go to Governor DeSantis. Says X Disney CEO complain of pressure over school bill that they had. So let's take a look at this. So in early 2022, former Disney CEO Bob Shepard contacted Governor Ron De the sentence to express his concern of a Florida's education bill that bans a teaching of gender identity to young

children. The sentence revealed details of the conversation. The chapter is new memoir. Uh-oh. Why do people write memoirs? It's interesting when they write it. It's typically before they make a big decision. The courage to be free of Florida's blueprint for American revival,

Shae Pek reportedly told the census that he was getting a lot of pressure away to wane against the bill stating, we get pressured all the time, but this time is different. I haven't seen anything like this before. The parental rights and education bill, which was passed in March of 2022,

prohibits teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through a third grade shape pack expresses opinion to the bill stating that if it were to be passed, it could be used to unfairly target gay lesbian, non-binary transgender kids and families. The Santas wrote ultimately Bob shape pack in Disney cave to the leftist media and activists,

pressure impressed a false narrative against the bill, which by the way, that leads to the next story. New York Post Governor DeSantis signs bill placing Disney District under state control. This is a February 27 story just yesterday. He assigned a bill that rebrands Disney's self-governed treaty creek improvement district as the central Florida tourism oversight district, which will now be under the state control ending Disney's near autonomous control over the area. The bill gives the Santis the power to appoint the members of a five person oversight board for the special district, which was previously held by Disney.

The Santa stated that the move will bring accountability to Disney's operation in the district and that it would not lead to any additional tax burden on Floridians. The move comes after a month long feud between the santa's and this new state's don't say gay bill law which bars discussions of gender identity et cetera go ahead and thoughts on the story well i i'm gonna give uh... the santa's praise and then maybe some criticism here uh... i've been pretty vocal that i'm definitely more supportive of him than

other candidates that are potentially running on the right uh... i think everything comes down to optics. I mean, if the bill was called the parental rights of education bill, and then when it came out to marketing or backlash against the bill, it somehow turned into the don't say gay bill. That's not the name of the bill. And I don't have kids, but I'm pretty open that I'm very active in the role of my nephew. And, you know, I don't want

kindergarteners learning about gender and identity. This is not anything that is apparent that I would want my kids even discussing in kindergarten. It's not anything that I think is inappropriate. And I think it's actually spot on by why you would want to do this. But also what Ron DeSantis and I think it's worked for him. I don't know if it's going to backfire. He is leading the league in the culture wars. You know, with the Don't Say Gay stuff, the LGBT stuff, the woke stuff, this is where woke goes to die.

Critical race theory, that's the Sanctus playbook. He's going against the left and that ideology. And that's great. Here's my concern, Pat. So when you read that second story about placing bills, placing, placing Disney under state control, I don't know. When I hear the term under state control, that seems very government overreach, not free market approach that Republicans have basically

prided themselves on since pre-Ragan days. So I'm wondering if that is going to come under some sort of backlash. That, to me, is not the free enterprise and freedom which he has basically made his name on. So I think at the end of the day he needs to have a sit down with Bob Eiger who is the new acting CEO of Disney. It's no longer the Chapeque guy and figure this out because once you become on the national

stage and do run for president, I don't know if this is going to be a winning battle to go against Disney. Well, this has been coming for a while. So let's step back to something you just summarized there. And let me offer another perspective. The, the area, the reedy Creek improvement district, once upon a time, Disney took this massive piece of Florida property and developed it for theme parks. And we all know where it was, Disney World and then Epcot and all the things that are around there.

And it managed that area, roads and all this kind of stuff were managed by Disney. It also got tax benefit. What Disney is being told is, hey, Florida is going to manage this the same way we manage the land and the byways and highways and streets and rest of the city. And you don't have your autonomous control over what goes happen in the area. And we're going to take a tax benefit away from you. So basically what they're doing is every city out there

that's ever tried to attract a manufacturer like Toyota in Tennessee was given tremendous tax benefits to build your factory here and create jobs. Mercedes and Alabama and and and and and and Disney once upon a time was given a tax benefits is come make jobs here come build your own country. That's exactly right. That's the difference and that's not common with anybody because they have their own guidelines because they're common in the Native American communities. Now let me see you here in Florida. So there is some, uh, but Native Americans has a reason for it because it's a way of a

reparation, the negotiation they had versus Disney is, hey, that's what was similar to what Ron Elrond Hubbard negotiated, signed to be a religion is the same with Disney negotiated for their land to be their own country. Gotcha. Well, are you saying that Disney's making a case to start the religion of Disney? They already have one. So my last point here to wrap it up,

so people can see it. But when Toyota comes to Tennessee, it's an established area. When Toyota came to Tennessee, it was an established town. When Mercedes came to Alabama, it was an established location. When Disney was first given this, it was a swamp where they had a plan to build a city and all this nothing went with it.

So now, all those years later, DeSantis is saying, hey, you know what, we're not gonna do this anymore, you're not gonna be your own country, your own thing. We're gonna manage this area, the same way we manage everything else in the state of Florida. But let me ask you, because you bring up a great point, what was the impetus for him doing this?

Wasn't it because Disney and Bob Chepack took the lead on these culture wars that I was speaking about? And this is sort of punishment to say, you know, keep talking shit, Disney. And we're going to see what we're going to do with your tax benefits. Well, I would summarize it. I would say you're, I believe you're on the right track with that. And I think it goes like this. Hey, Disney, you know what?

Thanks for nothing. Thanks for nothing. And you know, for 20 years, we've been talking about your special privilege district here and talking about changing it. Guess what, dude, that change happens today. So was it a little retaliatory? Yes, but this has been coming for a long time. I think this is how I see it. I totally get what you're saying. I'm about debate this course. Let's talk. Let's

hash it out and then give the freedom to do what you want to do and let the market decide whether they want to buy the product or not. However, here's a question. Say you have a new employee that works for you and go five years from now, you're married with two kids, okay? And this new employee of yours is working for you, you're helping him, your mentor, and he comes to your house, okay? First time you let him in your house, your wife makes him a meal and let you say your wife is very attractive,

and he says, oh wow, you look great wow Adam you've got a beautiful wife good for you. Okay he's being friendly no problem. Alright next time he comes back he says it again now let's just say she's born in a dress and she says oh my god look at that body of yours you look beautiful no problem. You're like okay little little too much. Next time she comes she, I can't believe how beautiful your lips are. You know, and you're like, okay. Easy, buddy. There's a little bit you're going, okay.

So watch what happens next. Watch what happens. I don't like the direction you're going. But I'm going to tell you exactly where I'm going with this. So the next time, at this point, you're kind of like, okay, this is, this is a, first of all, I'm letting you in my house. Then the next time he kisses your wife on the cheek, but a little too close, okay?

Like a comelette and a hug of the hand is slightly lower, okay? And at this point, you're sitting there saying, all right, bro, we gotta have a conversation, okay? So then your kids are with them, and he's playing with your kids, and he's getting a little bit too much out of control. The following time his comments are getting worse and worse and worse. At what point do you say get the hell out of my house, what the hell are you doing, what is the matter with you, you've crossed the line, there

is no more respect. Here's what Disney's done over the years. Disney was a place where families went to have fun. No politics, no nothing, we went to have fun. Gradually, they went from saying, hey Adam, your kids are beautiful kids. Thank you. Hey kids, you don't have to listen to your mom and that what they have to say, you're a kid. You may be more creative than them.

Look, ah, not good. Hey, kids, how are you? You may be gay, lesbian or bisexual. Listen, you officially crossed the line, Disney. And here's what we have to do. You're being put into timeout. This is a form of a punishment for crossing the line and making it from a place of entertainment to the kids to want it to indoctrinate and grew my kids.

No, you're arrested, Disney. Here you go. Some fully supportive of what he did. I don't know how long this is going to be staying there. This needs to be a precedent for any of the parks or places that are being built for kids to realize. Don't mess with other people's kids. The moment you do that, you've officially pissed off moms and dads, and now you have a bunch of enemies that are not supported what you're doing.

So I like what he did, I think he's shown his power moves. And quite frankly, his next job is gonna go from being one state, which he raised $211 million for his job as a governor, which by the way, didn't say this last time, it was a record. No one's ever raised that kind of money for governor, including obviously LA, California, it's a bigger number when't say this last time it was a record. No one's ever raised that kind of money for for governor, including obviously LA, California was a bigger number when Meg Whitmith was running, but it's a record for what he did. He's going to go next. What are the next things he has to tackle? Okay, what are the next things he has to tackle?

Yesterday I was watching the Santas and a couple of interviews. I want to say he was on, I don't know what show he was, he may have been on Tucker. And if you go on his interview yesterday with Tucker, don't play it, I just want you to show his face. And let me make one, just a thought on what I see happening here with the Santis. Okay, if you go to that, zoom in on his face. He's happy. No, no, no, no, zoom in on his face. Forget about the picture they use or not. Okay. Do you know what I noticed when I see that picture? Here's what I notice. I see a man who wants to take every single shot. Trump's gonna take at him away from him. He does not look like a meatball. He looks like he's lost 20 pounds. He looks good. He looks like he's got a full-time trainer. He looks like his eating vegetables. Yeah. He looks like his diet is changed. He's gotten off of starch. He looks good. He looks like he's got a full-time trainer. He looks like he's eating vegetables.

He looks like his diet has changed. He's gotten off of starch. He looks like he may even be on some kind of supplements, amino acids, some kind of fat burner. He's looking very, very good. When that day comes, when he hits the stage, he wants every single thing to be gone. And let me make my prediction.

The moment, if President Trump makes a comment about meatball, he's going to say, well, let me just give you some facts here, because I know President Trump, you're about the truth. Yeah. Here's some facts. Based on your doctors, this is your height, this is your weight. Oh, wow. My doctor gave me my height, my weight, my body fat.

Here's where I'm at. I'm taking care of my health. I think it's important. I think he's strategically planning to show everybody how healthy he fricking is. And it's gonna go viral. Oh my God. I'm, look at his face.

I'm, look what he looks like. Pan, I've also, and he looks amazing. And what, what, he looks younger than three years ago. Yeah. He looks really good. And one of his hits is gonna be this. And Mr. President, my tan is better than him. You orange. I don't know about that.

I mean, he's orange. I know he's looking really good. But the point is he's looking really, really good. If he's, you know, camp, I know their camp follows the content here. He's shout out to him for taking care of himself. And you see what's happening. Like the campaign is rolling out for itself. He's such a likable guy.

His military, his seal, his, you know, his wife, thank God she's okay. Everything, the family, everything's coming together. He's showing everybody a pat. Don't mess with the kids, leave the kids alone. He showed everybody the floor to kick ass with COVID and like this is the place to be. And he's not to lock you down. I'm telling you right now, bro, he's going to be a hard guy to be. Do you think he actually is likable or he's trying to

become more like a boy? Because here's where I'm going with this. And this I granted this is a New York Times article. And they basically gave a book review. They're basically saying this is someone with no charisma or no humor, which is, I would tend to agree. I've never heard Ron DeSantis make a funny joke. I've never been like, that's the kind of guy I want to get a beer with, but I'll tell you what, I'm okay with a serious president.

I'm okay with someone with credibility. I'm okay with someone who's nonsense. I'm okay with that. So my only question is, how much does charisma, because of the seven elements of what makes a present, wasn't like the deciding factor, their charisma? What was that whole, that friendly bet that you had with our buddy, the... Paulster? I don't remember it, but your charisma is one of them. Charisma is one of them. So there's no denying that Trump has charisma. He charisma for days It's just as he as serious as a candidate as

Round of Santas is is potentially going to be but I absolutely think Pat's analysis is spot on He's trying to take every single piece of ammunition away. Oh, maybe I am 20 pounds overweight Let me lose 20 pounds, look my best. Meanwhile, Trump's not getting any 30 pounds. He's looking real. The memoir is a reason why he's going, you know, I was like, oh, I know for a fact he's going to run all this other, the reason why I'm now certain this guy

is going to announce that he's running is because he's lost weight. You're right. I'm telling you, because he understands optics. Whoever's on the inside with his consultants, they're saying, look at John F. Kennedy on the camera, how great he looked. There's some stuff with the forehead looks good.

There's some things in Florida. We are in a very young, someone I'm saying, like, you know what you do with that. Oh, Tom, Tom, you know, he's looking really good. So go ahead Tom, you're gonna say something. No, I'm looking forward to the campaign. And by my, the primary candidates are coming out. It's starting to happen because

I think America is ready for the election. It's going to be bloody rolling into it because right now we don't have a president. We have elder abuse. We've got, I think, some things coming that I think are going to be good. I think this is a sign of one of the many people that are going to be running and let's face it, DeSantis is running, that are getting revved up for whether it's your five minutes in the spotlight, Nikki Haley, because you want to position yourself

for a position, which is I think what's happening there, or you want to make your point on national stage, Maryam Williamson, or you really want to be part of it and you want to run. I think you hit the nail on the head with the elder Bruce. Gavin Newsom. I think there is such a yearning in our country for if you're 75 plus, thank you for your service.

Thank you for serving the country. It's time for the millennial and gen Xers to really step up now. And that is the Sanctus is you mean you're not I'm having I I'm starting to like Biden more like did you see what he said yesterday? I'm just saying Biden I love He sure McConnell. Oh thank you for your service left and right piece, but I don't know if we're ready for somebody that serious Because I love like Biden yesterday. He was speaking for the black history month He said tell you about the divine nine and he was like I may be a white boy

But I'm not stupid and got a standing ovation. Like, I'm gonna miss that just goofy old, he's like a comedy guy. You can always go back and watch the highlight. I like videos. Yes, the highlight of, look, uh, he- Every week, how many tripping on the stairs videos? Oh my God, last week we got- Did you see the one with the balloon hits on?

No, no, did you see the one in Ukraine where actually somebody was on the back stairs? Her first one fell and took out three of the people? Yeah, it was hilarious. It's like, yeah, so now we have failed videos. Oh, does she have a precedent? Did you see what he said? This is yesterday, Pai, who was speaking in DC about Black History Month about the Divine Nine.

Let's look at watches. I made me a white boy, but I'm not stupid. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Oh my god. I know where the fuck you think I'm joking. You think I'm joking? I learned a long time ago about to do that. Look at the girl on the right.

The timeline of the girl is the best. She was thrown up gang. She looks like it. Actually, I was offended by that. I think in middle of black history, but there's so much to look back on in America. Let me. I think when you're pandering for the crowd,

like what? I think that's that. think that's, I think that's, wait, what is, what is that? Is that true? No, yesterday, yeah. So, man, is this picture real? No. Is this real or not? What are your serious?

This is real. No. When is this? This can't be real. This can't be real. No, no the police fact. I need March 3rd. Okay, I got a Kamala Cardi B hair stuck it up man. That is hilarious. By the way, someone's gonna go say words Kamala.

Oh my god. Picking it easy Joe. So, so, so, what is this you put up? Run down a thousand COVID-19 leadership floor. Yeah, but here's what I want to do. What you just did transitions into a story I want to read to you. This is what happens when you keep calling whites racist. It turns on you and then you have to make your argument. So watch this. Very interesting. Most hated white students, soos historically black college for $2 million over racial discrimination.

Okay. Over racial disnab. Somebody, how could you say this is racist? No, no, it's just using your own, you know, play. It's a play out of your playbook that you've been using. A white student, Michael Newman, who attended Howard University's law school from the fall semester of 2020 to September of 2022, is using the institution for racial discrimination, claiming that the school created a hostile education environment, numeric seeking $2 million of monetary damages for pain suffering, emotional anguish, and damage to his reputation. Newman suffered depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts as a result of public ostracism,

vilification, and humiliation. The lawsuit claims that the student at the school's responded with references to his race, gender, sexual preference, age, and personal preference, personal appearance after learning of a tweet from new Newman's private Twitter account that included a picture of a slave with a caption, but we don't know what he did before the picture was taking Newman's lawyers. We'll try to prove the school, broke its contract with Newman, a student who attended on a scholarship after a series of incidents and accusations led to multiple review panels and hearings that resulted in his expulsion.

You know what happens when you scream, racism, racism, racism, racism, racism, racism constantly? You water it down for when somebody really is being victimized. Yeah, and then all of a sudden you have a story like this and then you have to argue, well no, racism doesn't exist in this college. No, racism doesn't exist in the college. No, racism doesn't exist

in the NBA, even a 70% African Americans. No, racism doesn't exist in XYZ. Then arguments get lost. For example, you know that one meme that's gone viral on a bunch. By the way, this meme was posted on P.B.D. podcast and Instagram immediately, immediately corrected it. Did you see this meme that, and some of these memes they put on PBD podcast? I, I, I, I gotta tell you the guys that manage PBD, I manage Instagram PBD, but PBD podcast is managed by our guy who's a beast.

He posted something, go up to see if it's all the way at the top, that's the one that's hidden. It's the one that's hidden with warning. Go. Oh, I'm right there. Click on that one. Okay, so watch this CY Look what this meme says. What it's okay with the fact checkers zoom in on the fact check Oh, we'll go to the fact checkers afterwards. Okay, first. Let's read what this meme is Can we see the meme it has to allow you to see the meme. It says see post on the bottom. Look what this says. I wonder why there are no women transitioning to men

and trying to compete in men's sports. Why is that so? But you would they they just just read it one more time. I wonder why there are no women transitioning to men and trying to compete in men's sports. It's a lot harder to do. It's a lot harder to do. So Instagram fact checks it, go back to Anna to read this fact check. Go back to, you had to write the first book. Click on the CY, yeah. And zoom in. The same false information was reviewed by another fact checker.

There are, there are, there may be small differences in a pan-factor. It says fact check, it's not true that no athletes assigned female at birth transitioned and tried to compete in men's sports elite stories. Okay. Tell me how many stories of women became men that tried to compete in swimming, in wrestling, in Olympics, in sprinting. Tell me in what, in what that we read about, that you've actually read about. I'm sure it's happened, I'm sure it's happened, but tell me when you've seen it, when it became a big story,

and they won at the highest level that we have to see. Where other men are like, no, no, no, it's not fair that you're transitioning, when. See, this is the great thing about debate and patience, because what happens with bad ideas, if you're patient, just give a time. Eventually bad ideas are going to be exposed on their own without even making an effort. You know when your kids sometimes say, daddy, I haven't gone through it yet, but I'm about to go through it.

My kids are right now, what, they're 19 months old, you know, six years old, nine years old, 11 years old. You know what phase I'm in right now with my kids? Every parent with their kids goes through three phases. Phase number one, they idolize you, okay? Phase number two, they demonize you. Phase number three, they humanize you. Guess what phase I'm in with my kids right now? They idolize me.

It's a good phase, they love me. I don't do anything wrong today, right? Give it a couple years. Give it a couple years, Give it a couple years. What are they going to say? What? Dad, you have no clue what you're talking about. All you care about is capitalism. Do you know the roots of capitalism? Do you know what Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Russian, George Washington and apron? Do you know what they did? How could you that? How could you? And I'm gonna say, honey, son, Tico, Dylan, Santa, bro,

whatever it's what you are, I'm gonna be like, okay bro. I'm patient. Okay. And about 10 years, you're gonna realize how shitty of an idea you're buying into right now. I'm patient, don't worry. The same thing that a parent has to go through with their kids

is the same thing that the populace has to go through in the media, a certain institution, a political party, a certain sect decides to impose a dumb idea that makes no sense and has zero common sense. And all you have to do is, oh my God, how long is it going to take till you realize how dumb of an idea this is? I'm patient, I'm going to be right here. And it looks like you're trying to show something. So whatever you're trying to do, you made us read books, dad. Yeah, jerk. I hate you. I love what those kids do.

Any thoughts on this because before we go on, you guys are doing something with Rob. Rob, will you? You guys are? Adam sending you a story or no. Okay. Okay. I guess I got it. Well, would this be a natural progression to talk about a transition, to talk about that Dilbert situation? What were you looking at here? You were looking at it.

I was just looking at this. What was a natural to what? Dilbert situation. That's also acid with racism. Did you read that story? Go for it. Which one is that? That's a story about what happened

with the creator of Dilbert. I mean, since we're on the topic of this race, it's cartoonist says a rebuke of Dilbert creator, Scott Adams is long overdue. So here's the story. So by the way, Elon Musk laid in on this. So Elon Musk recently took to Twitter to suggest that the US media has now racist

against white people and Asian people. As he seemingly defended the Dilbert comic strip creator, Scott Adams, who made racist comments that led to several newspapers dropping his cartoon, Musk root, for a very long time. The US media was racist against non-white people. Now they're racist against whites and Asians. Same thing happened with elite colleges and high schools in America.

Maybe they can try not being racist. So here's what happens. Adams comments came after Arasmus's poll revealed that 53% of black Americans agreed with the statement, it's okay to be white. Weird number. In response, Adam's posted an online video which he said, if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people, that's a hate group. I don't want anything to do with them.

And I would say based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is get the hell away from black people because there's no fixing this. Jesus Christ. God Adam's here. That's a little too crazy about it. And there is a misconception out there, though,

that if you're a certain rate, you can't be racist towards white people. And I'm sorry, bro, if you're a certain rate, you can't be racist towards white people. And I'm sorry, bro, if you hate a race and you're always like, I hate white people or you cracker, dude, that's a racial, that's a racial story and you're being racist about it. Either it's either be okay with it and have a thicker skin or stop doing it on both sides.

Exactly. Very simple. So guess what's believe it or not. You know, I'll tell you what, go ahead. Yeah, I mean, you have to understand that either position you make and you take, you're going to contradict yourself. Of course. You're going to end up being a hypocrite and the American people are going to sit there and say,

yeah, you're full of shit. I'm not buying. That's what's going to happen. Just you just have to be patient with it. Anyways, did you want to say more things about the story? you're gonna end up being a hypocrite and the american people are gonna sit there and say yeah you're full of shit i'm not buying that's what's gonna happen just you just have to be patient with it anyways did you want to say more it is sad or unfortunate to see this number you know 53% of black people's in this poll

agreed that it's okay to be white sort of a shocking number but i think his response in his approach is actually pretty disgusting So he says his answer is I don't want to have anything to do with them And I would say based on the current things are going the best advice is to give white people to stay the hell away from black people That's a racist piece of shit if you ask me Maybe he actually is racist so for me as I hear that because I'm more of a natural synergist I would want to say hey

You know, I would say something if a natural synergist, I would want to say, hey, I would say something, if this was my cartoon, Dilbert, I would say, you know, the old Rodney Keek thing, why can't we all get along? Let's work on this, let's work on this together. You know, I get that you've been wrong, and there's things that we need to address, but his approach is the exact opposite of way I would go. Not deal with black people, What does that even mean? Yeah. So to me, that is a counterintuitive to what you're doing.

But you do need a strong African-American leader like Elon Musk to step up in a moment. Yeah. Good call. He has to be called that. I think the poll speaks for itself and it's really unfortunate. I, you know, to have any group of people have that kind of a position. And the way he commented, because he moved from just talking about a poll into commentated. And the way he commentated was pretty bad.

However, we've had a recent guest. We've also seen the lawsuit brought by Asian Americans against Yale on discriminatory practices on admissions. So we are seeing precedents out there where people are saying, hey, when the pendulum swings the other way, you have to understand, you are making a bias against somebody and a bias against anybody is not good. So anyway. Yeah, you know, my kids, Dylan asked me a question is to say daddy. So so when people ask me in school, what am I? What do I say?

I said, what do I mean? It says, do I say I'm half white, I'm 9% Italian, I'm half a Syrian, half Armenian, how do I explain it? Listen, you got to be proud of all of it what you are okay You are half American you have a little bit of Italian in New According to ancestry I don't know anyone in our family that's hooked up and I don't want to say who but there's some Italian and there's And then you got Armenian and a Syrian and you got to be proud of it all and that's how God created you and we get along with everybody Okay, and then they have a christ Christmas when we have a birthday party. Here's Tico. Tico wanted 55 of his classmates to come

to his freaking birthday party. 55? I mean, there's like three fifth grades. He says, I want everybody to come on. What are you talking about? So we have 55. And by the way, you know what happens when kids turn 11 years old parents

if you're listening to this. This is not cool. I am not a babysitter. Here's what they do when kids turn 11. Parents came, dropped after kids, they left for three hours, came back three hours to pick them up. You know what, I'm on next time?

I'm gonna give them a bill of, freaking, of $5,000. Yeah. Yeah, baby sitting bill. Especially with them. Yeah. And with the whore, the pool. All right, the point is when the kids' friends came,

dude, it's like you got United Nations wasn't a bad guy. It was awesome, but it is what it is. I wanna go to the story here. I wanna go to the story here. Do you have the tweets about El Salvador and what they're doing there to their MS-13 gangs and what happens to their stats? Do you have that video?

If you don't, I think I sent it to you on Twitter. It's funny when I posted this. I, very interesting what Twitter did all of a sudden. I don't even know if Twitter's or Elani's even aware of this or not. I'll just send it to you right now. It's got a few million views online. I think it's important for you to see this.

Here's the link. It's a Twitter clip to show I just send it to you. Just go to my own, go to my Twitter. Yeah, and then go to media, go to media to the right and let's see how low to let you go. Keep going, keep going, keep going, okay, that one right there. Now watch this. Zoom out a little bit. Okay. Play this clip from the beginning. It's a one minute clip. Turn on the audio. Place, there you go. Just play this clip and listen to this, folks. And tell me if you think this is a good idea or bad

idea. Watch this. It looks like a sea of skin and tattoos. These images, released by El Salvador's government, shows the transfer of about 2,000 inmates, stripped to their shorts, and that their head shaved to what's been dubbed the country's new mega-prison. It just opened. It's believed to be the largest prison in the Americas with a capacity for 40,000 people. And it's the latest step in a controversial crackdown on crime that's caused the country's prison population to soar. Watch the stats, though.

And Wright's organizations have reported that innocent people have been caught up in the law enforcement campaign. That includes dozens, they say. Notice all their faces are covered, so you guys don't remember that. Last year, the country's president asked Congress for emergency panels to temporarily suspend some constitutional rights after a massive spike in murders attributed to Gangkron. It includes that arrests can be made without a warrant and detainees no longer have a right to a lawyer. Private communications of all citizens can also be accessed by the

government. Since then, about 64,000 suspects have been arrested. Murder reports fell about 57%. Did you hear that? Yeah. Okay, go back, go back 10 seconds to hear that static. Again, it's important for the audience to hear that. Go right right there and played listen to the stat government since then about 64,000 suspects have arrested murder reports fell about 57% Wow Okay, so positive commentary on it is wild wild. This roiders for whatever reason flag this for me and said warning, they put a warning on this tweet because it might have sensitive content. I'm like, this is not even my tweet. I'm retweeting a roiders tweet. And roiders didn't get the warning. I got the warning. I'll send it to you, Rob, if you want to put it up there. So is this a good idea or is this a bad

idea? What else have others doing? 64,000 people arrested. Crime is down 57%. I think it's great. I think it's great. I think people need to go back and take a look at what really happened in California when Kamala Harris was Attorney General, the three strikes law, Wacken Hut building more prison Sarah, which is prisons per profit. And you see what happened in California. They were trying to drop the crime rate too. And so I think what they're trying to do, they have this terrible crime problem. And they're like, all right, let's just round up all the MS-13 gang members, and let's watch the statistics.

And unless they're monkey in with the numbers, you've got a 57% drop in murders. Okay. Well, guess what's happening? They're getting the outcome they wanted and you could debate whether you'll like the way they're doing it. But this is the outcome they wanted, less murders in their community. Or drastic times calls for drastic measures. If the, yo, and the stats don't lie lie 50% murder rate down. I'm sorry, bro If you look like that and you're doing some gangster shit, but buy I don't know remorse zero

My what what is even the pushback here? To the tweet and let's read some of the comments I think that's the best thing to do just go to the tweet and let's read some of the comments Yeah, go to the tweets. Zoom in a little so we can say tough on crime is good, but not by suspending their constitution. So click on it to read the replies. That's Jake Shield. I agree. Okay. I agree, but at the same time, if you legitimately commit violent crimes, you forfeit your rights. The only area of concern is the judicial system being corrupt innocent people being convicted. Agreed. Okay, let's read the, how many innocent people died because certain individuals weren't in

police custody. Go to the next one. I was in El Salvador before they were rounded up and your life was in danger every second you left your house. This is good. Makes me happy citizens that want to just make a living. Focus on being harder on crime. Focus on punishing criminals.

Focus on squeezing as many criminals in one place as possible, can only lead to bad outcomes. Instead, focus needs to be shifted from punishing people to rehabilitating criminal, give me a go, into functioning citizens. Okay, how do you do that is the question everyone's asking, right? I've only, I've no family members that we hope

could be rehabilitated. The unfortunate reality is that the probability of success is quite low. The cartel was terrorizing your town, murdered your family members. I have a feeling you would say something different. I go. Yeah. Okay, during the time which resembles 1930s,

previous decade marked by conflict and eroding world order to COVID declining institutional trust as multiple layers and across the world spectrum. I feel this doesn't end here. My mother is El Salvadorian, she grew up there and just went on vacation there and came back last week. She said she felt so much safer this time than any time she can remember.

They could stay out and go to restaurants and ask she thank God for it. Wow, I mean, this is the great thing about a platform like this because you're seeing different sides and arguments people are making. Go ahead. Well, I mean, we say this all the time about the number one thing a mother is concerned is her kids.

And our kids, what's the S word, safe? So if you're just trying to, we talk about if you could go live anywhere and start a country, where would you go? The number one thing is, are you safe? And it just would seem to be with all these gang members running around El Salvador, just people don't feel safe. And, you know, numbers don't live. Murder has gone down 53%. Yeah. Since they've started rounding up the MS 13 gang members, the numbers speak for themselves.

I think it's a great thing. I get why there is some pause for a concern. Are you eliminating the constitution, whatever that was? Whatever they're doing wasn't working. Yeah, it was a murder, it was a murderous country. So kudos for taking some action. And then you guys saw what I saw. Every single one of those guys,

they look identical. To add about. Same tat, same shaped heads. Dude, those guys don't need to be on public. And that's MS 13. Those guys are, they're not just regular gang members. Those guys are ruthless, bro. They're nuts.

By the way, all the same guy. Very easy to identify you if you have tattoos on your head and body by the way There's a speech that the president of El Salvador gave okay Well, is it still Is El Salvador sent the country that has been the Bitcoin Yeah, yes now you brutality is that same guy? Yes, oh about time they clean this up. It's the same guy that's been he's doing a hero of the crypto He's doing it. Okay, great. It's making sense by the way. He gave a speech. It's on my Instagram account Yeah, it's two minutes long

It's in it's in Spanish, but there's a what do you call it captions there? You have to read the speech he gives it gives me it's it's a long time ago. It's like probably three weeks I posted this it gives me the chills if he can keep going down, you'll find it. It gives me the chills on the message right there, right there. He gives this message. We don't have to play it right now, but you know, the way he talks, he says, we know we're a small country. We know our limits, but we're not going to stay small. Okay. We're not here to just be another country in El Salvador. You guys think big, you guys have great things,

we respect you a lot, we respect what you've done, but we wanna be there as well. The guy speaks like a guy you want speaking on behalf of your country that's not apologizing, he's saying our crime is this, he's saying all this up, but we're gonna get better and we're gonna be a great country versus apologizing constantly for being white Apologize and for believing in capitalism apologize and for being a country that's whooped on everybody

Being ashamed of who you are. There's a lot of pride to the way this man speaks leaders who have pride in their Nationality in their country in their people people, understanding to stay humble, stay, you know, a reasonable individual. He sounds like someone like that. He doesn't raise his voice. He speaks very calmly. If you've not heard the speech before,

highly recommend watching the speech. It's powerful. Anyways, I got a couple other stories I want to talk about here before we wrap up. And by the way, some of you guys are watching this. You're commenting, your message, and saying, hey, you know, I kind of like what you got on. Let me show you the back of this, which is sick.

Check this out. I love that. Okay. Dude, that is so badass. The whole, anyways, we have a whole new military gear that's coming out. Love this. Shout out to you.

A guy that I have a lot of respect for our veterans. Thank you for your service. Thank you. And being the airman of the year and the entire Air Force. That's one of these coming out, huh? These, the whole series is about to be launched where green value-tamin future looks bright has. But this is just a teaser.

The shirt quality is amazing. It's one of my favorite quality shirts to wear. If you would like to sport one of these, you're a veteran or you love America or you love our military or you're support our military. I suggest you go get this value. I'm sure on the front of it says business is war. It's just the reality of business works.

Get this new one. This is new year being dropped for the first time here today. Put the link below, Rob, for people to be able to get it. And I think there's people that want to participate in merch that we have. If you do want to be the first to find out about the drop that we're having text award merch, 2 310 340 1132, one more time merch, MERCH, MERCH, TEXA 2 310 340 1132. If you text that, you're going to get the direct link back of this

shirt to place the order since we have the sizes right now before the size of sellout. Anyways, okay, last thing I want to talk about with the story we just went into military and I want to wrap it up with a couple stories on military. So you know how we're sitting then we're watching how much US keeps given to Ukraine, keeps given to Ukraine and Yellen just went there this week and she announced that they're given an additional 1.2 but 10.2 billion.

But promise in 10 right? There's 1.2 but promise in 10 but promise in 10 and you know, so people go, my God, how much more I think the total right now is $114 billion. Give or take. Do you realize a couple things? You know what's the fastest way to stop this war? If you're so worried about 300,000 people that have died with the number that you give us, 200,000 on the russia's and 100,000 on the ukrainns in, you know what's the fastest way to finish the war?

Do you know what's the fastest way to finish the war? Stop giving money. Do you realize that? If you really don't want war, stop giving money and set up the meeting. How come you haven't done that? It's as if America wants this war to continue. So when a Tulsi Gabbard, or some of these guys get up and they talk about the military industrial complex, you keep funding this. There's a reason why millions of people resonate with what Tulsi Gabbard and others have to say.

Maybe you do want war, maybe this is a business model, maybe there is a benefit of us doing this to continue this model that we're going with all these wars. Because if America truly wants no war right now, you can stop the money, you can stop sending weapons, and if you do that, Ukraine has no choice to say, let's talk. Let's figure something out, right? Now watch this. If you can pull up one of the things that we've been sending to Ukraine is these javelin missile launchers.

Okay, a couple of stats I want you to see with this. If you can go back to the first one, go all the way to the first one, go one more, there's one other picture I sent to you, which is the budget that we have first one, go all the way to the first one, go one more, there's one other picture I sent you, which is the budget that we have. Okay, zoom in on this picture here. Take a look at this. This is our budget in 2021 versus other militaries budget that we have.

US 801 in 2021, look at China, look at India, you can look at UK, look at everyone else. We have a massive military budget that we have. A big chunk of this is financing the 800 military bases that we have, okay? Trying to solve other people's problems. But the one thing we've given to Ukraine a lot is 8,500 Javolins to Ukraine.

That's what US has committed. If you wanna Google what a Javolins and what it looks like military Ukraine so people can see it, 8,500 of them that's been given to Ukraine. There's a reason why Ukraine is doing so well against Russia because we, this is not a war with Ukraine against Russia. This is a war of US versus Russia, okay? Period. It's public. It's not even something we're hiding. We've given 8,500 of those to Ukraine. So what's the big deal? You know, somebody may. So what's the big deal?

You know, somebody may say, what's the big deal about these javelins we're given to them? Raytheon and Lockheed Martin have both said that what's been pledged from US in existing stock, they cannot do double the production and give America back what they have till 2026. Meaning, everything we pretty much have on stock of javelins, we've pretty much given to who, to your frame, okay? These are the numbers that we've given to them just to support what they got going on. So now, as you get closer with this article that Wall Street Journal has, they showed this data. Tom, you're gonna love this year.

If you can show this on the screen, so audience can see this, these are the numbers of contractors US had in 1980 that we did business with. When I say contractors, defense company contractors, this is where we got our weapons from. So if you look at this Vinnie, 1981, there was 51 companies we did business with. Every year or so, one or two got bought out.

We went from 51 to how many? Down to five. Oh, wow. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics. So one could look at this and say, well, what's the big deal with this? Show the next data.

If you go to this one, go to more, go one more. From 1990, the number of contractors we had, tactical missile suppliers, we had 13 that we bought from. We only have three today. Fixed wing aircraft suppliers, we had eight, we got three today. Satellite suppliers, we had eight, we got four today. Builders of surface ships, we had eight, we have two today, okay. These guys that keep buying up these companies, this is essentially being a similar model to banks. How many banks do we have in 1980s? A ton of them. How many banks do we have today? It's really only five companies. Our cell phone companies. Cell phone companies. The same as Amazon. All money. Everything is going to this. Solidation. Everything. I

remember being on a call with FTC when one of the bigger insurance technology companies, that's a behemoth, if you're in the insurance, we don't say the name, if you're in the insurance industry, you know who I'm talking about. They were about to buy up another competitor whom we were doing business with both of them. And they said, hey, we would like to know expats, they're asking because they were pretty much having a monopoly.

Some of these guys have so much control right now, which the problem becomes the following. Is America, you know how you raise money and all of a sudden you buy 50 different companies, one by one by one by one by one, you keep buying other companies because you have the money. And in all of a sudden, what happens to you? You wake up under your like, do we got 400 companies that we bought the last five years? We have no clue how to manage these companies. One by one they're going bankrupt. What the hell are we gonna do?

You've stretched yourself so thin, you now have four, 500 military bases to manage. How do you do that? The problem today with America is, if we keep giving all these weapons to other people, our own supplies getting weaker, and Northrop and Raytheon are sane, we can't replace this for you till

2026 that's three years our own military is getting weaker The more we try to support everyone got forbid if the enemy realizes that military in US Is experiencing this what does that tell you that's an opportunity for what? To attack of To attack. Of course. To realize, hey, they're not as strong as we once thought. Of course. That's a real threat.

And to say that we're getting this close to a potential war, this is the closest we've been since, you know, what do you want to call the Cuban? Minister of crisis. I would say that's the closest we've been where we could be a part of this and we keep poking the bear. So then the story leads to this and then Tom, I want to get your thoughts on this first and Vinyam,

I'm going to come to you next. Okay. As our AI expert. So so story comes out Putin will die in office or with bullets in his back as despots futures predicted. Okay. So this is a story on page 13. War expert Nate Sibley believes that Vladimir Putin will die while serving as president of Russia

and that he could be assassinated. Sibley states that Putin's watch carefully as other Soviet Union leaders try to extricate themselves from authoritarian regimes as they failed and that whatever his future holds, it is increasingly unlikely to be a happy ending, either of old age or bulletin is back. Putin has previously survived several assassination

attempts with Oliver Stone stating in 2012 interview that he had heard of five attempts, Putin and self-responded, I do my job and the security officers do theirs. And they're still performing quite successfully. Putin's health has been a subject of much speculation over the years with claims that he has Parkinson's and travels with a thyroid cancer doctor. However, he has stated in the past that he has no plans

to retire and he has changed the constitution to allow him to rule indefinitely making modern den Rache true autocracy. So, what all the stuff going on in the world and the uncertainties that we have? I just think America may want to kind of step back and take an inventory, are we as strong as we act like we are? Or we have stretched ourselves so thin around the world that this may have given an opening for somebody who's saying,

what if there's ever been a time to attack, maybe this is the time. Obviously nobody wants to see war. This next one won't be pretty. The goal is to prevent this war. Tom, what are your thoughts on this? Well, first of all, every Russian leader dies in office because as much as they say, oh, we have elections here. Yeah, right. Your guy serves until he doesn't, right? That's the way that is. And to say, well, he'll either die in office, which is a certainty, or he'll die in office with assistance,

because he's going to get shot. I don't think there's really a story there, but what you're talking about is where is United States really on the world stage? And I agree with you. If you just unload the cupboard and give all this stuff to the Ukraine, the first thing I worry about is, you know, Ukraine is kind of

depleted on their own military path. You know, how do we feel when Russians capture a Ukrainian unit and they get a hold of a couple of these? Now they got our stuff and they can take it apart and figure it out and, you know, copy it. That's always been part of war is capture the other guy's crap and then reverse engineer it or find out the secrets that are inside his weapons. And I think that the US on a world stage right now, you know, is is a little bit depleted. Now, this is a defense contract we're saying is going to take me five years to, you mean, two years to rebuild all those missiles. And can I can I send you

an invoice today? You know what this is? It's also people sit there and go, hey, buy some Rathia on today. Why would I? By the way, I'm sure those guys are loving what's going on. Of course. I'm sure they're saying send more stuff to Ukraine.

I'm saying more stuff to Ukraine, because I got to replace it for you. There's only five of us. Yeah, there's only four other group competing against. The defense contractors believe it or not, lobby for a thing called war games. Where you see the war games going on. Yeah, they do that in South Korea. Yeah, they lobby for the use of it. And now obviously they don't use nukes in war games, but they use up a lot of stuff. They do simulations. They do a lot of things. And then you need replacement

parts. You need all the stuff. And it's another invoice to the defense contractors. But to your core point, yeah, I do think we're getting slightly weakened on an international stage in terms of actual readiness of having the tools that we need to fight. And then we're also, I think, getting weak because, you know, we could do five podcasts in a row on the flip flops on Ukraine. We're just gonna let, it's not our business, it's from, it's not our business to, here's billions of dollars

with the stuff to fight. Remember where this started? We're not gonna get involved in a proxy war and be shipping our stuff over there. Okay, give them some tanks, remember this? It's been a slippery slope. So I don't think our position looks very strong. We change every three weeks and I think we're weaker

on a world stage. I think the best, was to say in football, what a Ravens won. The best offense is defense. The best offense is a great defense. That's what Ronald Reagan said. If we have a great military defense, guess what? No one is doing anything.

Now, you know how you create fun account, like you're like, hey, you know, I have a savings, your investment, your this, and you create a what? You create a splurge account, or whatever you wanna call it, right? You know what the fun account splurge account is to me? Here's the weapons that we can give to others for support,

but we will never touch what we need to be protected. So this is that we can give to others for support. But we will never touch what we need to be protected. So this is what we need to be protected. Guess what? The javelin, we're hitting shortage, we can only give you 700, we can't give you the whole 8600. Those are the things, as long as we're playing within those parameters, then we can support those that have generally been a good ally to us. I'll just say this. I think we have every right to question the amount of money that is going to Ukraine. Okay.

What I think is unquestionable is standing up to authoritarian regimes who are invading sovereign nations. I mean, if you look at this article, right, Ukraine is the West War now. It's not just the U.S. it is the entire, you know, Western world, Western civilization, the EU, NATO, okay, but here it is. The Western alliances, geopolitical adversaries, are calculating whether the U.S. and its allies

have the stamp, stamina, and the cohesion to defend, here it is, the rules-based international order that has benefited the West for decades. The future of Taiwan and South China Sea is closely linked to the West record in Ukraine. So there's precedent, there's rules, there's a rules-based international order. Like we've said before, you can't just go invade a country. What precedent does that establish?

So next thing you know, he invades Ukraine and then it's what? He takes over Kiev, he owns Ukraine now, and then it's Poland, and then what happens? So the only thing that strong men respond to is the word no. You can't do shit like this, Putin. We have every right to question

how much money we're spending, totally right. But stand you know there's hard power in the soft power right now we need to be projecting both hard power is actually fighting in wars but soft power is also standing for democracy no no nobody like for example what fdr did to get a third term you know and what Putin is doing to get a third term on what he was doing to, what was his name? Is it a Volny or a Navalny, you know, what was his, uh, uh, uh, in Russia, the competitor of Alexi Navalny, where the air poison of flight he was poisoned saying, we're not supporters of that at all. What's so ever, no one is saying that. All I'm saying is you can't control what your enemy does. You try to America's tried for many, many years, and some of them, they've been able to control.

This is not an enemy you can control. We have to pivot on our own knowing, discretionary that we can afford after all our expenses are covered, fine. But our expenses are not covered, our defense is not covered, and we're trying to solve everyone's problem. And we're spending way too much money with this. Anyways, Gank, enjoy today's podcast.

I believe, while I'm not even gonna tell you what's gonna happen next couple weeks, we got a lot of exciting things that's gonna be announced. This last week, I had a great conversation with Andrew Tates lawyer Tina, which by the way, the coincidence, we went to the same high school. I'm not sure if I'm gonna go to the high school.
