Welcome to the Yanis Papis Hour. Want to give a big shout out to YMH. Nice to be over there and get their support from Jeans Up or whatever the slogan is over there. Personal shout out to Tom Segura.

You know, everybody knows he's the brains is over there. Personal shout out to Tom Segura. Everybody knows he's the brains behind that operation. So glad to be working with them. Hopefully bringing a little more money for the show. And maybe some bigger numbers. Maybe they'll help promote it and that'll be good. We don't wanna get too big. I don't wanna get too big.

Is that weird? I don't wanna get too big. It's a good problem that I don't have to think about that as a problem. So I got a quote Tim Dillon, he would say here's the good news. That's not a problem that you have to worry about right now, but I honestly, I honestly am saying, that joke aside, I don't want it to get like, you know, I don't want that who wants that You know, there was a time where club shay-shay was just you know, it was half as big as it was and if a woman sued you She'd asked for 10 million or 6 million. But once you get really really big You know

That pussy cost 50 million. It's just what it is, it's 50 million. It's just, the numbers go up, the retaliation numbers go up as your numbers go up. We see that in the tariff war. Our numbers go up, China's numbers went up. For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction. So the bigger you get, the harder the dark energy,

the bigger that gets, not the harder, but the bigger. The bigger the energy goes here, the bigger the energy goes here because we're always looking to balance out Club Shae Shae. Club Shae Shhay cannot be one of the biggest shows in America and it just, God just won't let it happen. So apparently the kid loves a little bowl of poos poos. He likes his coos coos with his poos poos because he's being sued by an ex girlfriend, he's accusing him of

rape. I always just, it's hard, I mean, I don't know the facts so I won't make any judgments and I don't want to know the facts. I'm not concerned about the facts. I'll let the legal system deal with shay shay. But I will say it's a $50 million lawsuit. I just say I'm always a little skeptical when it's an ex-girlfriend and they had a rocky consensual relationship.

I'm not saying I'm skeptical of something happening. I'm skeptical of $50 million worth of damages happening. That's what I'm skeptical of. $50 million worth of damages happening. That's what I'm skeptical of. 50 million dollars worth of damages. What is 50 million dollars worth of damages in a consensual relationship? In a scorned post consensual relationship? You know, isn't there, doesn't the word consensual knock the number down to at least, at least 12? I'm sorry, the most 12. I'm not speaking correctly, but you get the point.

Doesn't the word consensual knock it down from, I mean, 50 is more of a non-consensual number. I don't know, especially in this economy. You expect to get 50 million in this economy? It's tough. You know, he should say, okay, I've heard you're 50 million, but because of inflation right now and because of my investments in the market, I'm willing to negotiate at a cool, consensual eight. Consensual eight. Consensual eight. Consensual eight.

There's gotta be a numerical correlation with the word consensual and non-consensual, right? And I just think 50 million is more of in the non-consensual category. 12 is great for consensual? Like here's the thing, dog, if you go in at 50 million, you better have something on that video tape that's gonna really put the pressure on the legal system. Because the word consensual in Rocky

is gonna be tough in a court of law. Even though they favor women generally, it's gonna be tough, the word consensual is tough. It's gonna knock your 50 million down unless that tape shows him doing non-consensual stuff in the consensual rocky relationship where you're crying and you're resisting. I mean, 50 million? I'm just saying. I'm not trying to make light. I'm just looking at the facts and saying you better have something good or I'm telling you, you have an over ambitious lawyer who you basically got Nico Harrison as your lawyer.

Someone who's overplaying their hand. Because if you came in at a cold eight to 10, club shay-shay may just go, you know what? Let me slip you eight to 10 before it hits the press. Right? Dude, I'm telling you my instincts are good. I promise you I did not read this before he pulled it up and Jesse went and looked like

that. I promise you because Shannon Sharp, this next headline said, was nearing $10 million settlement with rape accuser before bombshell loss. So come on. This is like the Palestinian negotiation for the fucking partition plan. Take the deal! Now you may lose the whole thing. You know how, um, sometimes people do things that are so bad they get things named after them? Like for example, Lou Gehrig's disease, nobody knows what it's called, they just call it,

I guess they call it ALS, but they don't know the words. I don't know the words. I call it Lou Gehrig's disease because someone famous got something so bad. Or if someone's really bad, they say he's like Hitler because he was so bad. I think Nico Harrison. I think Nico Harrison's fate on this planet. And if you don't know I'm talking about Nico Harrison is the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks who gave up Aging, always hurt, 31 year old, you know, borderline first team all NBA player, sometimes second, you know, and he gave up a 25 year old at the time, MVP caliber player, one of

the best in the world, Not even in his prime yet Who carried his team with three injuries to the finals? The previous year the worst deal It's even worse than Babe Ruth I think because I don't think the Red Sox knew he was gonna become that type of offensive juggernaut They gave him up as a pitcher So you can't even say the curse of the Babes is bad. The Luca deal is the worst trade in sports history. When you go to Dallas,

they don't even, you would go, okay, where's the Palestine protests? You go, no, no, no, those people, you see a protest across, you go, these people, wow, I didn't know people love Palestinians here that much. You go, no, those are protests against Nico Harrison. Nico Harrison is Netanyahu in Dallas, and the protesters are against the killing in Gaza. That's what Dallas, the Dallas fan base views the deal as genocide. So he may just, it just may be called a Nico Harrison deal. That's just what it may be called.

And Shannon Sharp may be engaged here against someone who's making a Nico Harrison deal. You should have took the 10 million. It's very, I'm gonna say, I just, and I don't know nothing about the deal, I saw the word consensual and rocky and she had a relationship with her and I saw that he offered her 10 now that I saw that. I'm saying you're not gonna get the 50 million. I'm making a prediction on Kalshi! Worked it into the episode perfectly.

I'm making a prediction on Kalshi and Kalshi, Worked it into the episode perfectly. I'm making a prediction on Kalshi, and Kalshi, let it be fun. Hopefully you don't make me do a redo, but make it fun, let's put up a Shannon Sharp poll. Will she get 50 mil or less? They probably won't even read this part because it won't be in the ad, but that's how you make it fun.

If you really want to attract people to calisthenics, make it fun. What's the over under? How high are the tariffs going to go? Will Trump slap a 2 million percent tariff? Will he go to 30,000 percent tariff? How high will they go? I didn't even know it was possible to go past 100 percent, but he's at like, I think on one thing it's up to 1000 something on solar panels from

China from the east or southeast, Southeast Asia or something like that. We'll look it up. Could you look that up at some point? But I don't want to distract you from what you're doing now. But I'd like to know because I did see that number and I found it pretty astounding. It's in the thousands. I think it's 1000 something percent tariff on solar panels. So it's getting comical and it's very funny and it would be nice to be on calci. My point is sometimes you're in a Nico Harrison deal, right? If you were Yasser Arafat, looking back, I would say he probably made a

Nico Harrison type deal. I would have taken it. You know how many lives probably would have been saved if they would have worked out some sort of partition plan. Maybe I'm wrong, but, um, US slaps 350, 3,000, US slaps 3521% tariff on solar imports from Southeast Asia. I don't even want to read into the story. It's just funny. It's just funny that it's 3521%.

So what does that mean? A negative? What does that even mean? I don't know. Make it a million. Yeah, I mean, at that point, just make it a million percent. Yeah. At that point, why don't you say we're not buying anything?

Why do you even say, who's going to send their product at that tariff? I guess it's one of those symbolic things when you give a criminal multiple life sentences. Five life sentences. Yeah, five life sentences. It's more like, hey, we're going to slap a 3,521% tariff on Southeast Asia solar panels. The point is, there's a lot of deals going on right now, and a lot of these deals can be understood in an allegory with Nico Harrison's deal for Luca. Another one besides the Shannon Sharp, did he did he rape this girl or not? Deal is Trump's deal with China and the

rest of the world. At this point you know you're saying okay what do we got? We had a lot of talk during the campaign of what he was going to do. He says, I'm going to do this on day one. What do we got? What do we got? I'm talking for you now. I'm taking on the mouthpiece of someone who voted for Donald Trump. What do you got in your pocket?

You know what I'm saying? What do you got? What do we got going on? Where is inflation at? Is do you got? What do we got going on? Where is inflation at? Is it still cooking? Okay, so the heat's still up there. All right. That's still in the oven. We're still watching that pie bake. The border, that seems like the most concrete promise fulfilled in these first, how many months has it been? Whatever it's been. Border, border crossings are down.

Deportations, still I'm pretty similar to Biden, but he's deporting people. But what do we got? According to Trump, we got a lot. But according to reality, we got a lot of talk. We got a lot of timeshare meeting vibe. Okay. So it feels like we're just all, we've been pulled aside and asked if we want a free breakfast.

And they say, Hey, all you got to do is come in this office and let me tell you about some potential future Benefits you can get if you really love this resort Do you plan on vacationing in Cancun for the next five to ten years? Well, we'd love to have you back Here is a little package That might be nice for someone who's willing to vacation here for the next five to ten years. You think you're going to die in five to ten years? No.

Do you think you're going to vacation anywhere else? No. So might as well let's talk. Let's talk timeshare, baby. Let's talk timeshare. Right now I am in a timeshare meeting. Right now America is in a timeshare meeting listening to a pitch we're being pitched on a lot of good things happening a lot of countries want to make deals a lot of things are happening I'm gonna fire this I'm gonna

fire the chairman no I'm not gonna fire him okay so that's exactly what happens I'm firing him I'm calling for his resignation, and then the next couple days later, I am not firing him, but I want him to lower rates. We're not negotiating with China, now we are making a deal with China and quote unquote, I'm being very nice to China. And me and Z are getting very long and we're gonna make a deal. Did China say they were gonna make a deal with the United States and capitulate? No they didn't. Did Trump say he was gonna make a deal with China and capitulate? Yes he did. Did he say he wasn't gonna do that before? Yes he did. So he's saying both. So he's saying the tariff will come down substantially.

Okay? We've got a lot of doge cuts that we're reading about. Okay? If you ask a merch wearing MAGA supporter, they will tell you that the fraud and the is currently at $100,000 trillion. And then I'll say, am I in a timeshare right now? Because where are the receipts? You're using words like fraud. Fraud's a crime.

That means that American people's tax paying dollars was robbed, was used for fraud. So, are we going to prosecute anyone? Is there any concrete numbers? Or is it just things that people have thrown around on Axe on articles from things that have dot institute on them? I've seen a lot of dot net and dot institute numbers but you would think there'd be a lot of mainstream concrete kind of indictments for fraud

i think the what is what is what they claim i think you on is claiming twenty one billion twenty billion twenty five billion, 25 billion. The number is changing all the time and we don't really know what's going to happen because we're promised or we should be promised a concrete answer and indictments for fraud. Fraud is a crime. It's a serious one. For fraud, fraud is a crime. It's a serious one. Doge claim cuts have saved a whopping 115 billion.

Boy, did I underestimate that, or around $700 per taxpayer. Okay, let's see it, and let's start some indictments. This is from a couple weeks ago. This is from a couple weeks ago, so it could've went up, could've gone, but we don't know because Elon Musk is saying that he's stepping away from Doge. And just as he did, Tesla's stock went up a little bit, but God damn it.

Tesla ain't selling the way that it did. It's fucking down 20% this quarter. That's a lot. And you want to know why it's because, um, he has a mouth on his face. So Tesla's struggling a little bit right now. I think their first quarter earnings are down 70-something percent from last year's first quarter earnings. Total maybe 40 percent, But first quarter, right, 20 percent. So people are speaking with their pocket and you want to go, dude, you've got to choose, man.

We're either going to be comedians or we're going to be experts. We're either going to be E.V. and satellite and rocket ship producers and and tech entrepreneurs, or we're and tech entrepreneurs or we're gonna be or we're gonna be Charlie Kirk impersonators we have to kind of choose what we're gonna be we can't be Jake Paul only Jake Paul can be Jake Paul only

Jake Paul can sell me deodorant and then also box Mike Tyson and then also make a funny video and then also have a reality show and then also be a wrestler and then also be whatever else he is. We can't all start acting like internet entrepreneurs whose job description contains a lot of slashes. I am boxer slash entertainer slash YouTube personality slash entrepreneur slash energy drink sling singer slash deodorant. You know there's just a lot of slashes. Now we're going I'm comedian slash Middle East commentator slash you know Elon Musk has joined the fray. He is now entrepreneur, slash fucking political commentator,

slash ketamine addict. I mean, slash cult leader. I mean, there's too many slashes. We gotta remove the slashes. I'm not, the slash not like that, that's a dash. I'm going slash. There's a reality show now on. I mean, with his new fiance.

I mean what is love if it's not televised? I don't know whether I'm tuning into the Paul reality show or I'm tuning in to the Alec Baldwin reality show. But those are like the Coke and Pepsi reality shows right now. His girlfriend who's a Norwegian speed skater is a goddamn bona fide piece from Norway. Jake Paul. I like Jake Paul. I think he's a good athlete. I think he's a trans women in women's sports though. I really do. I do think he's a trans woman in women's sports. I think he sets it up so he has a little bit of an advantage. You know

much like much like Leah Thomas when she was swimming with the boys was at the bottom the middle of the bottom of the pack. If he fought people his size and who actually were in that sport I think we'd see him in the middle to the bottom. But we haven't seen that yet. But he's made a lot more money doing circus type of productions because that's what the people are into now is car crashes. We're tuning in, baby.

We're tuning in for the car crash. I wanna see, will Mike Tyson die in that fight? Will Jake Paul be arrested for elder abuse? You know, we all had this fantasy that Mike Tyson is, we're all going like, we all power is still the late, and then he cancels, he cancels the first time because like, I think he, his heart stopped for a second. So he had to postpone the fight and then he beats up a smaller MMA guy again. But we all still tune in.

We are really susceptible to car crashes and grifts right now. We're in entertainment. I can't look away from X for the For You page. I'm on the For You page. I want to see what's going on with the back and forth about debates. I can't turn away from Jordan Peterson. I don't know what he's saying. You know, he's like, oh, the psychopaths are wrong and then the narcissists, we got to

put up guardrails. You're like, can you just, can you just go back to helping working class Canadians figure out why they're obsessing over something too much and prescribe them a little low dose, which is what you are an expert in. And why don't we put up some guardrails against you? You're a mental health professional. That's your field. Now you're talking about Middle East? Everyone's talking about the Middle East?

Without some sort of humility or any wink to what their profession really is? Cal she is really fun. Not everyone just wants to throw a little juice on, you know, sports. Now you can throw juice on things you really believe in. I mean, these polls actually are accurate. Remember, we wanted to go to Cal-She and we wanted to see what the odds are of who is going to win the tariff war. I mean, they got all types of cool cultural polls up there. Right now, the Canadian election market is super interesting. As of today, the liberals are trading at around 72% to win the most seats. So, you know, it's what people believe and they put their money where their mouth is and they make fun, you know, wages.

So it's very interesting. Go on a cal she check it out. I personally love this stuff because it gives you a sharper read on public sentiment and you can make a little money too and have some fun. Forget the vibes are spin. This is what the market thinks. And just like we're saying on our show, it's all about the money, baby. That's where the truth is. Caushy's been growing fast.

Over a million users and more than two billion in trade so far. I use it myself to just stay plugged in. I do. That's the truth. Whether it's inflation numbers, presidential odds or even stuff like the Grammys, it's like a real-time sentiment tracker that actually reflects conviction. If you want to try it out, CalSHE is giving away $10 to anyone who signs up using my link and makes a $100 trade.

Just go to calshee.com slash yanis, Y-A-N-N a n n i s and get in before the event closes. How about we put some guard rails up? Like Jordan Peterson said, about people being outside of like what they do. You know, that's where we're getting in trouble. That's where we're getting in trouble. That's where Pete Hegseth got in trouble. Okay, he's an excited guy, right?

Maybe an older millennial or maybe a young Gen Z-er. He's jacked up on an energy drink. He's on a plane. He gets a text from Central Command from an actual military guy who's probably never been on Fox News, never wrote in a book. And he's saying, this is where we're about to attack. And the guy gets a little rush he gets butterflies he's like imagine like you know you play Call of Duty your whole life and then you get they hand you the actual power to do this stuff for real you're gonna be a little excited when you first get the job so he gets a little excited he does a little copy and paste. He does a little copy and paste from what he previously touted as not being classified information.

As it turns out, he directly copy and pasted from a known classified channel of military communication and copy and pasted it straight into a group chat, into a group text. He just, that's what he did. He copy and pasted it right into a group text. Days after he was warned by an advisor to not do that and to be careful. Someone was probably, you know, showing him around, you know, when you get shown around, you're the new kid in school, they're like, all right, the number one rule about Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club.

So he was probably getting shown around in an advisor, you know, who's from the deep state, who's, you know, probably across administrations, some military advisor probably goes, okay, the number one rule about being in your job is you don't talk about the things that we do in your job on non-secure outlets. So that was probably like, they told him that like fight club. And then a couple days later, you know, that just shows you when you get horned up, you know, you can't do it. You can't stop it.

You can't stop it. So of course, he's pushed back on these latest revelations that he shared Absolutely, what's the word Certified Proved what's a good word there? detailed documented Documented

classified war plants So now we know that he was lying when he said they weren't classified You men in classified war plants. So now we know that he was lying when he said they weren't classified. And so how has he pushed back? He's pushing back with lion again. And he said, if you remember, I said, no one is texting war plants. What was shared over Signal then, which surfaced last month, and now was informal, unclassified coordination for media coordination and other things.

I don't know what that means. Did you know what that means? Did anyone know what that means? What is unclassified coordination for media coordination and other things? What are other things? When people are caught, you just got to talk a lot and you got to be vague. The word things is a good one. These things and other things.

Things is a good word. You get caught cheating on your text. I was, there was on another thing and I was at another thing. I couldn't have been with her because I was at this other thing. Thing is a word that just comes in when you can't, you don't have time to plan. Thing, I was, things, there's other things going on. There was media things. There was unclassified media things. I was coordinating unclassified coordinations of media coordinations. That's an exact quote. That's an exact quote. Now was informal unclassified coordinations for media coordinations and

other things was his direct statement. End quote, close quote. So we're in a timeshare pitch right now waiting to see the tariff thing doesn't seem to be going so good thus far. But remember guys, he wrote the art of the deal. So don't fret, the kid wrote a book. So don't be upset. If you listen to our bonus episode, patreon.com slash Yanis Papasour, we covered that. We went over Trump's business failings and some of the things in the art of the deal.

So you might want to join to support the show. We need your support. And there's a full bonus episode about that. That's up there. And everyone who's over there, very happy you're over there. We're very small and mighty, but but you know it keeps the show going it keeps the expenses here paid for and I appreciate you very much so finally his Treasury Secretary who's the gay guy right the three dollar, what's his name? $3 what? Scott Besson. $3 Scott Besson. Just, I guess

he just couldn't spin it anymore. He just couldn't spin it. He just couldn't. He looked at the facts. He looked at the way China was reacting. He looked at their one has only depreciated what just 1% since all this has started. And he went and he looked at their one has only depreciated what just 1% since all this has started and he went and he met with Trump and he said I can't I can't continue to support you publicly we just can't the the deal over with China is maybe it wasn't a good idea to declare war against 1 billion ninjas maybe ninjas you know because one thing that the CCP is good at is making Chinese people disappear and ninjas disappear, right? So that's the

thing. If a million people disappear from starvation, you go, was that because of the tariffs and their economy hitting the skids or was that because they're ninjas? There's no way to prove it's not because they're ninjas because they're ninjas. So basically he said I just we don't have any ninjas here okay that we can't fit into the suits. We got a lot of fat lazy people who want to know where their money is and they want a new TV every year. They want a new TV every year and they need their iPhone every two years. So what are we doing here? I can't continue to support you.

So he just released a statement and he just went out there and he gave a speech and he just said, we gotta stop, right? He just said, we gotta stop. We need deescalation. I expect deescalation. What did he say exactly? He said, it doesn't bode well. He just, he said it stop. We need de-escalation. I expect de-escalation. What did he say exactly?

He said, it doesn't bode well. He said it doesn't bode well. He said the ongoing tower of showdown against China is unsustainable and that he expects a de-escalation in the trade war between the two world's largest economies. That's right after a phone call. He says, but can I tweet? He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Trump's talking a lot. Trump's talking a lot. Trump's talking. He goes, yeah, he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Trump's talking, you know, because Trump's talking a lot.

Trump's talking a lot, Trump's talking. And he goes, yeah, he's trying to cut him off every single, yeah, yeah, can I tweet it though? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but can I tweet it though? Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know when you're on the phone with a marketer and they're going through the protocol and you're like, stop talking so much.

I just wanna know if my auto pay is on. Just answer that question. Stop talking, stop reading your sheet, stop telling me the things you have to read because your corporate overlord said this call was gonna be reviewed. Nobody reviews the call. I've never stuck around on a fucking call after I've talked to someone with a Filipino accent and raided them. I just want to get off the phone. I don't want to spend 45 minutes talking about why my

daughter's health care was discontinued and why her primary was switched to a default primary. I know what you're doing. This is why a CEO got killed. You're trying to fucking get a couple of months where I don't pay and this is part of your modus operandi and I don't want to hear you ask me again if this was a good number to call you back in case we get disconnected and I don't want you to ask me for my full name and middle name again and I don't want you to ask me for my fucking address or if anything's changed in the last couple months it hasn't I'm still their father this obviously happened today and I wanted to shoot a CEO. I understand the frustration. Obviously don't shoot the CEOs, but I understand the fucking frustration

because I know what they're doing. They shut off your fucking shit and go, I don't know how this happened. You're going, I was on autopay. How could this happen? And they have no answer. And then you get a new chick from fucking the Philippines or someplace else whose accent is hard to understand.

And so you're is hard to understand and so you're straining to understand and you're angry and you can't choke them so then you go where's the CEO vacationing I'm gonna carve it in the bullets because I know you canceled the insurance for three months without my knowing so you could save a couple whatever the number is so you could come out ahead on your bottom line. And they do it to everybody. Constantly shifting things around. You know, they're like credit card companies. Like, if you're diligent, they don't like that.

So if you're diligent, where they're worse than, because credit card companies, you know, they benefit off everyone not having the money to be able to pay it back then. So they don't have that comfort, right? So what the healthcare companies do is, if you are diligent, right, they just, they tanya-harding you.

They tanya-harding you and they have you by the balls and so they don't give you an explanation, you yell and scream for an explanation, but then you're just so happy that it's turned back on and you have no other options, except for finding out where a CEO is vacationing and dedicating your life to a cause. I'm just saying I understand the frustration. I'm just saying I understand the fucking frustration, dog. I went through it today. 47

minutes of my life and you would not believe how in the wrong and how inexplicable that her insurance was discontinued was. And then I got the letter saying you got to pay the $15 re-enrollment fee. Then I speak to her and she goes, you don't have to pay the $15 enrollment fee. And I said, OK, what's your CEO's name? Where's the vacationing? I want to make history. Cause I know I can't get to you because you're in the Philippines. Sorry. I'm not justifying anything.

I'm just doing a comedy bit on the feelings behind what culminated in the heinous act where you know an angel from God with a face with a face of an angel and a six packs of a US of a USC fight a UFC fighter who just cut weight for his fight where this beautiful angel sent a demon to hell I'm just kidding. It's never right. It's never right. And kids got to go to prison, but, but you can certainly understand people's frustrations. You don't want it to come to that.

You don't. Nobody deserves that except for a CEO of, I'm just saying nobody deserves that, but there's exceptions to every rule. Like the ancient Greeks say, I'm not, no, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying nobody deserves that but there's exceptions to every rule like the ancient Greeks say. I'm not, no, I'm not saying that. I'm not being callous. I'm not being callous. I'm just speaking emotionally as someone who had to spend 47 minutes of their day today

doing this shit. Anyway, I got sidetracked and I hopefully I can remember where I got sidetracked, but it had something to do with something about our secretary, the secretary of the treasury, right? And right. So he's on the phone, he says, can I tweet it? So where, however I got sidetracked, I won't remember. And he tweeted it. He says, I've had enough.

He called the AP immediately, he said, release this fucking statement before this guy changes his mind So at least there's someone putting on paper at capitulating i'm waving the fucking white flag So Thankfully, maybe I don't know depending on how you look at it trump followed suit gave an interview and said we're gonna work it out What he goes what he goes? what's everybody panicking about? Everyone's panicking as if the stock market, what's everyone panicking about? You're panicking as if your 401k plan is worth $0

and you're about to retire tomorrow. Calm down, things are going just as planned. Remember, I wrote the art of the deal What's everyone? It's just he's I love the calmness of it. Like what's going on? Everything is going swimmingly. I just spoke to Z. We're getting along great We can expect the deal soon but He's been saying things

for a long time now. It's a lot easier to campaign than to govern. You got big ideas, you come in and you test them out, and you get a litmus test real quick. In these first months, what is it, six months now or something, I guess he's done what they used to call me advertising business a little bit of a test

a little market research he's done a little market research and i think we found is a little bit of what nico harrison found we didn't expect the fallout to be what it was. Nico Harrison, you know what, you know what also is a theme that I'm noticing right now and that's what the show does. We find themes, we find these themes like a crazy person would. I do like a schizophrenic and I try to see

themes and things that are related that aren't related, but Nico Harrison gave a press conference. So I'm seeing this theme about people who should just be away. Like they're continuing to try to, you know, you know, what's the expression to try to screw in a bolt into a square peg? Like they're trying, like Nico Harrison, take the L baby, okay? You have to walk around with security. Dallas is angry at you. This will never not be the worst deal in sports history.

It will now be called, you're doing a Nico Harrison. When you get fucked in my business, someone from now on will go, oh my god, they Nico Harrison'd you. You got Nico'd. It's just the way it's going to be. But he gave another press conference where he's just making himself look even fucking stupider by saying, yeah, you know, to be honest, I still stand behind the deal. He goes, my defense wins chance.

He's standing behind the stupid thing, defense wins chance, as if we all don't know that they went to the finals they were the second best team the year before and that Luca Donchus had three injuries we all know this and he's continuing to say my job is to the Mavericks and to do what's best for the Mavericks and he's ignoring the fact that people are saying you did the worst thing for the Mavericks and then he's ignoring the fact that people are saying, you did the worst thing for the Mavericks. And then he admitted, he goes, yeah, he laughed about it. He goes, yeah, I underestimated the effect

that this would have on the fan base. You know, they've had to like give away season tickets. They've had to offer refunds for people with season tickets. I mean, this season was an absolute disaster. He had an idea and he said we want to win now. And then the next thing you know, Jason Kidd is playing a Kyrie Irving like a hundred minutes a game. You know, he blows out his whole body. And then Anthony Davis comes in place for one game and he sits out the rest of the season until the play-in game.

And they're not in the playoffs. They went from a team in the finals last year to a team that's not even in the playoffs. And that, there's no way to get on the mic after that and say I'm doing what's best for the Mavericks. There's just no way to say defense wins championships because the facts look like what wins championships is nico harrison not making gm decisions

so now we have this theme of people talking more than they should talk elon musk donald trump uh nico they're all pulling what we call a nico harrison baby stop giving press conferences all right if you want to negotiate with the country, call them up on the phone. Don't tweet first that we're slapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada, all of our friends that we were hoping would join us against China. You didn't think for one second they were going to panic and go like, well, if you're fucking us, then we have to go to China because I'm not going to make my people suffer the way you're willing to make your people suffer.

So he's got to walk it back. He's walking it back. He's moonwalking. And we may end up just being back at the tariffs that originally started. We may end up back in those numbers. It's market research. It's market research. It's a timeshare pitch. And China warns countries against striking trade deals with the US at its expense. So China went full fucking kamikaze. China went, you know, that's what we're doing in Ukraine, right?

We're going all in because we don't want, it's not that we want the shit necessarily. We don't want it to fall into Russia's hands. We don't want the fucking minerals to fall into China's hands. So we're all in. We're dumping, we're going kamikaze with money into it because we just, we don't want to give up that dominance, right? We don't want to give up that dominance, the military dominance. We don't want to give them the titanium. We don't want to give China any leverage. And China just did the same thing economically because they know

because they know we're fucking hooked. They know we need those tchotchkes. They know it, dude. You don't think they they have data on every single person in America and they watch us just sit in there scrolling. You don't think they know how long we stop at McDonald's ads and Burger King ads. They know we'll scroll right past accurate, historical, educational ads they know will scroll right past a accurate historical educational TikTok to to park to park our eyesight out of

McDonald's embedded user-generated ad they know what kind of pieces of shit we are and they know we're consumer based and we want to feed our faces until we're full so they go you want to play this game and we want to feed our faces until we're full. So they go, you want to play this game, bud? You want to play this game? Well, guess what? Guess what?

Hey, listen, rich Jewish chick on Fifth Avenue with that Fendi bag that paid 30,000 for it. It cost us 50 cents to make. And it's made in China accordion hands They start trolling us on their own fucking server Trolling us telling us the secrets that made in Italy is nothing They're pulling the mask off and much like a Disney character in Disney World boom

It's a Chinese guy. You pull off, you pull off what you thought was Arturo Gessalabine's face and it's Yang Yang Wing. Just like when you pull off a Disney costume and you think it's gonna be a beautiful American. It's just an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela. They're pulling the mask back, trolling us, letting us know that our top of the line products are no different than the other products and you're basically paying for the Fendi emblem. So they trolled us there. That was a slight funny troll. But not only did they do that, they kamikaze'd. They said to other countries, here's a warning. You side with the United States over us, we're going to squeeze you too. We're willing in this deadly game of General Tso's chicken, we are ready to not flinch.

And make zero mistake, this was a game of General Tso's chicken. Beijing will firmly oppose any party striking any deal at China's expense and will take countermeasures in a resolute and reciprocal manner. And when it comes from a Chinese guy, you just, you just believe it more than you do Trump. Cause King Z doesn't bullshit. Right? He says, Hey, I told you, I told you not to watch that thing or Jack Ma.

I told you to close your mouth. Jack Ma, I told you to stop talking favorably about open markets. Did I not? Did I not tell you to stop touting open market capitalism as the reason? Did I tell you to close your mouth? And Jack Ma says, yeah, but you know, I got used to my comfort and my power and I got a square head and you know I'll do what I want because I'm a powerful, powerful entrepreneur. And then Jack Ma, he just disappeared. And how can you prove it's because Jack Ma's not a ninja? Because we go, what happened to Jack Ma? Who's basically at the time you could say he was like you know a very vocal in front of the camera known

Billionaire in China much like Elon Musk. It would be like if Elon Musk just disappeared for two months Don't you think that would be headline news in China? It's not even in the newspaper. They didn't even talk about it We were talking about it. The only people covering it was Western media going Hey, it seems like Jack Ma's disappeared, but nobody in China was allowed to talk about it. And he just disappeared for a little while, you know? And of course, they can't make him disappear forever because he's Jack Ma. And the rest of the world's going, whoa. But they made him disappear for long enough for Jack Ma to get the picture,

for Jack Ma to know, like, hey. We're ninjas. Remember hey we're ninjas, remember we're ninjas, we can become invisible like the great Mr. Pano said they turn invisible we can live underground we're ninjas, people can disappear and if you ask him go what happened to Jack Ma? King Z will say oh you didn't know we ninjas. We can sometimes disappear for two months and enter a reeducation camp where we're tortured with water. It can happen. It's very funny. It's, you know, we have this, we're in this pickle, you know? We thought China was this weak, you know, they've been walked all over country for a long time. We didn't think we're coming off of Russia falling.

We're saying like, you know, Russia's gone. Let's take our business to China. They're happy to have it. We're not Britain. They're not mad at us. All they want to do is make some money. And we just didn't see it coming. We just didn't see their expansionist motives, ambitions.

We just didn't see it. And now we're in a pickle because we got them by the balls, they got us by the balls, because make no mistake, they do have us by the balls, but we also have them by the balls, they got us by the balls, because make no mistake, they do have us by the balls, but we also have them by the balls. But what we found out here is one of them is willing to let their people suffer more than the other because one doesn't have to get reelected. One doesn't have midterm elections. So unless Donald Trump can put everybody in Guantanamo Bay, like this guy in El Salvador who has solved crime by just putting everyone with a dick in prison. If you want to go right now and meet a woman who's hot and bring her to the United States

on a goddamn immigration visa through marriage, El Salvador is the country from you because they got no men. He has put 85,000 men in prison. And I understand they had a massive crime crisis. Uh, but this guy, uh, just got into office and I'm not even saying, I don't know if it could have been handled another way, but right now the safest country in the world is El Salvador. Cause there's just no men. I mean, this is just like a feminist dream come true. And also they're right.

Feminists are right. Guys do crime. When women do crime, you know, what do they do? like a feminist dream come true and also they're right. Feminists are right. Guys do crime. When women do crime, you know, what do they do? What do they do? You know, sue you for $50 million 10 years later after they were in relationships with you? Okay.

That's a shakedown probably. That's what they do. They don't do violent crime. You don't actually walk the streets in fear of female gangs, right? You know, if I got attacked by a female gang, I'd take my dick out and start jerking off. Sorry, just joking. I'm just saying. If a guy got attacked by a female gang, some guys are into that.

It might get hard. So right now it's just safer than Connecticut. I mean really El Salvador and it's very, it's sad. I mean I don't know if it's sad. A lot of these guys are probably criminals but I'm not sure if there was 85,000 criminals there. They put everyone in jail and it is just a concentration camp right? I mean you look at the pictures and you're going holy shit. They put everyone in jail and it is just a concentration camp, right? I mean, you look at the pictures and you're going, holy shit, they're all in underwear. And I mean, they just rounded everybody up. It definitely solved the crime problem, but it also created a problem of not being able to reproduce because you can't rub two vaginas together to get a baby. So Americans, this

is your, go to El Salvador and meet a woman, right? Become a gringo with a green card for a nice lady who wants a better life. And look at them, look at that El Salvador, look at Miss Universe. At one point, was she the winner? Yeah, Miss El Salvador. Am I, what am I saying, El Salvador? Am I getting the right country? Yeah, okay? I don't know Sometimes I get confused with countries. I don't give a shit about You know Chile El Salvador You know sometimes you just get confused Bolivia just a couple of thing couple countries that you know

It's sort of like you know you know it's like it's like playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers like you like oh, yeah They're good aren't they like you know they don't get TNT a lot Cavaliers. Like you're like, oh yeah, they're good, aren't they? Like, you know, they don't get a lot of TNT cover. You just go, oh yeah. Oh, the Minnesota Timberwolves, what? How was their year, what's their record? Like, that's like when El Salvador makes the news. Or Bolivia.

I mean, when's the last time anyone thought about Bolivia? Like, I'm certain there's some people watching now going, oh yeah, Bolivia, like just Bolivia. Like I'm certain there's some people watching now going, oh yeah Bolivia. Like just Bolivia. But I'm telling you, I want to go to El Salvador. I'm married, I can't. But I mean it's a good time to go if you're a guy. It's a good time to go if you're a guy and you're a gringo and you're not in an MS-13. It's a good time because he's locked up everyone. And now we're sending our illegal immigrants to this place, which seems maybe for some of them a bit extreme.

Maybe they don't belong there. But you know what? I think now El Salvador is dealing with that in a way that I'd say doesn't consider the freedoms that we often take for granted, one of which being due process. Because we got our Maryland man and the Supreme Court said you got to take you got to bring him back. And Trump just said, I can't bring him back because the president of El Salvador is saying I won't release him.

And he's in El Salvador now. So talk to him. And it just so happens that for every person we send to this prison in El Salvador, they get money. We pay for it. So they have a financial incentive to take our illegals. So that's what's going on right now. Again, money talks.

So Trump was able to find a solution of a piece, putting them in Guantanamo Bay and he's putting them here. Yeah. So the guy's not originally from El Salvador, right? He's, oh, he's El Salvadorian. All right. So Maryland, man, not to be confused with the Marlboro man, uh, is Kilmar, Albrego Garcia. He married an American chick or whatever. She had daughters before he had thought it before they got got a couple daughters, the kid was working somewhere, he had a work visa, whatever, you know, everyone's all up in arms about this guy because of due process, the Democrats are saying, you know, he's just an honest guy, the Republicans are saying that he's Hitler, I don't know, he's never been, he's never been arrested for a crime,

He's never been arrested for a crime. Is he a guy, MS-13. The evidence is from one confidential informant in 2019 said that he was a part of the New York chapter, even though he lives in Maryland. So it seems a little tentative. Even Trump's administration has admitted that it's an administrative error, but they go whoopsie. They're just going whoopsie. They're going whoopsie, and then they they're saying I can't get them out. But right wing media and what I mean by that is, uh, you know, Tim Poole,

um, who's now, um, the new, the new Fox news, um, you know, they're really eating their words on the right about, um, Zelensky not wearing a suit to the white house. Did you see what Tim Poole was dressed like? Tim Poole was dressed like he just stood up in his living room after he put his video game on pause. You know, I mean it's just not a good luck. And then also do you remember Kid Rock just was like in there? And how about Elon Musk with his bouncer

checking IDs outfit? I mean not everybody is respected the White House. You remember those guys? You're like, do you have a suit? Put on a suit. You don't know one suit. And then you got Tim Poole just showing up with his fucking sweatshirt and beanie. You got Kid Rock in there wearing some type of stupid outfit. And you got Elon Musk in there wearing a baseball cap and like jeans. So that didn't really age well for them. The whole JD Vance comment. Um, but anyway, Tim pool, they're now inviting new media to their press conferences and,

um, Tim pool, not to, not, not to be confused with any Tim Pool who you know who may not be insecure about their hair or any other Tim Pool that you may know who may not have unwittingly been funded by Russian intelligence. Remember that? Don't confuse that Tim Pool with the Tim Pool you may know who's got a full head of hair. Or don't confuse it with the Tim Pool you may know who doesn't have a full head of hair but is okay with it. Because that would be a different Tim Pool. Because this Tim Pool doesn't have a full head of hair and he's not okay with it. He sleeps with a winter hat on. He's indoors. He's always got the beanie on.

And also when he takes pictures, he stands on his tippy toes. There's been a few of those that he's been caught in his tippy toes. That's very funny to me. He's a squeak. So he stands on his tippy toes and there's been a few pictures where he's caught doing it. And it's very funny. So not to be confused with another temple who might not be insecure about his height

and his hair or the funding from Russian intelligence. Not to be confused with that Tim Pool is now invited to the White House and he wanted to know about the legacy medias and they believe, they believe the Covington story and the Another story fine people fine people story of fine people hooks Which is the Covington story certainly true the fine people story I would say that mostly true because Trump was still saying there's very fine people who were chanting, you will not replace us. Right. So even though he was saying both sides had some fine people, it was edited to make it

worse than it was. But he was still saying there was good people on the other side. Right. Yeah. But if he played the whole clip, he outright denounced the white supremacists. Right. So he in a follow-up statement, but in that statement in that part of the statement He was saying there's fine people there too, right which there could have been there still could be some fine people who? Don't want you to replace them

Wasn't that that March some family was that Charlottesville Charlottesville? Charlottesville, yeah. Yeah. Wasn't that a dude, we don't replace us or that the Tiki torches, no Tiki torches was another thing. This was when they ran over protesters. Right. That's right. Right. So what were they protesting for that side with the very fine people?

Was that the statues where they were tearing down statues? I don't remember. Or the flags? I can't remember. It's a long time ago. I don't know. But that he condemned them in a follow-up statement, here's my point, and that's why I say mostly true, that he condemned them in a follow-up statement means that, you know, he also said amongst them were some good people. So that's kind of a contradiction,

no? A little bit? Yeah, I don't know the details of it. Yeah. So I would say he's right, but not as right as with the Covington story. The Covington story was a complete, uh, you know, it was tweeted from a accountant, Brazil. It was edited. It was, it went out before anyone knew the facts and the kid actually sued and won big money for media outlets. So that's a little different. But there he has a point on both of them. He's got a point on that.

And what was the other one he said? The Maryland man hoax. And now it's so he quoted those two very fine people, Covington and the Maryland man. All right. What we know about the Maryland man and the Maryland man. All right. What we know about the Maryland man for sure is that it seems like the picture that Donald Trump shared of him with his fingers was digitally altered. So maybe Donald Trump re-shared something that was digitally altered. That's what it seems like the consensus is amongst tech experts or whatever. Could be wrong. It could be in MS-13. He definitely was with other gang members who had gang affiliates, or at least gang affiliated people when he was stopped and questioned about a murder outside of

Home Depot. So who knows? But he himself, there's no direct evidence besides a confidential informant saying he was MS-13. He fled to America because he was being threatened by gangs. Maybe that's because he's in a rival game. Very well could be. We don't know. I'm just saying what is known is that he's never committed a crime. He's never been arrested for a crime.

He's never been arrested for a crime. He's legally here. You know, he came illegally, but he was offered whatever protection because of fear for his life or whatever the fuck, asylum, you know, whatever immigration lawyer would know it. And he's in Maryland and he's being accused of being part of an MS-13 chapter in New York. Very well could be. Doesn't matter at this point because he is in this, uh, he's in the Shangri-La of jails in El Salvador. And the Democrats have chosen this as their example of, uh, lack of due process. And they make a point. There was new product.

And the Supreme court has actually, um, ruled on this and said, yes, you have to bring him back. He was wrongfully deported by law. And Trump's just saying, I can't do that because this guy won't send him back because he's calling him a terrorist. He doesn't like releasing terrorists. And he goes, this is now a foreign relations matter,

so the court's not relevant. And so everyone's on the ice skating around. And so the Supreme Court's ruling is not being honored. And Trump's saying I can't it's out of my hands. You got to talk to him. And he's saying I won't do it. And then people are saying, Hey, he's not doing it because he's a he's in bed with Trump, which he is. And he's also has a financial incentive to keep them, which he does. So this is one of those can't make omelets without breaking a few eggs type of scenario.

Unfortunately, this kid is he's an egg. Unfortunately, it sounds like he may be an egg. So I don't know what the hoax is here. Has it turned out that he actually is a gang member? Do we know for certain? We don't know, right? So Tim Pool is tossing it in there because Tim Pool might have some Russian farmed information that may confirm it. I don't know. But what's the latest? I'm admitting I'm following this as you are. He remains in El Salvador right now.

Maryland man, because it's easier to say than Albrego Garcia, whatever, three names. Um, and discussions about whether or not he can return to the United States to continue, even though the Supreme Court, oh wow, they unanimously ruled. Wow. So it's a unanimous ruling too. That Trump has to facilitate his return and I think Pam Bondi has even said Yeah, we interpret that as we will facilitate his return We will pay for his transportation back. But the problem is the El Salvador guys going we're not releasing him because he's a terrorist So we're at an impasse and I gotta be honest, I don't give a shit.

I got it. I just, I don't know. I understand. Well, I kind of do, right? I mean, a little bit, I guess you want to make sure people have due process. So I shouldn't say that, but I have to not lie to you. I don't give a shit. I don't know.

I'm more concerned about my money. Is that bad? I'm more, the only thing I've been concerned about is tariffs because like this is this type of shit's going to happen. Hopefully it's not an indication of us jettisoning the rule of law or whatever. I hope not. But I can't you know, you can only worry about so much. I mean, how do people worry about this and their stock portfolio at the same fucking time? I'm supposed to worry about Maryland, man. I'm supposed to worry about fucking constitutional crisis. I don't give a shit. If it's a dictatorship and that dictatorship

makes my stock portfolio go up, I mean what do I care? I'm not 10 years old. I'll tell my daughters, okay now you have to salute Trump and we put a painting up. He likes that. He seems to like that. When you give him a portrait. We'll survive if he becomes a dictator will survive I'll get a maga hat I got maga in my family. We'll be fine They're not gonna let me go into a fucking el salvador camp or my kids And we just fucking give him a portrait. All you gotta do is give this guy a portrait Putin just gave him a portrait

Colorado repainted portrait. He's got like three or four portraits of himself up in the White House currently. It's what he likes. He just wants a portrait. He just wants to see himself. I'll survive. Either way. Is that wrong? Is that wrong? I mean I want to care a lot about the Maryland man. I really do want to care a lot about the Maryland man, but I'm lost in this fog of my Tesla stock tanking. I'm lost in this fog of my doughs tipped in the water of the market and now there's no water so I'm touching the ground and I'm feeling soil. What happened to the water? My toes were in the water.

I put my toes in the market and the water dried up. So I'm worried about that. Not just for myself but really only for myself. No, not just for myself but because of what this could imply as far as the future tensions with China. Taiwan, you know, it just, you don't. Peace is when everyone's making money. Let's get back to making money. Let's get off the morality tip for a second. Let's get off the morality tip for just a little bit, just a moratorium on morality until we can fix the tchotchkes being 99 cents to $2 to keep everybody

happy. That's all I'm saying. And Elon Musk, shut up. That's still my position. Close your mouth. And Donald Trump, close your mouth. Do it privately. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, close your mouth.

You know who else should close their mouth? Nico Harrison. Want to give a shout out to For The Free.Art. As always, music in Hawaii hosts free shows, posts free music by local artists.
