- Bryan: You wrecked Jason: right. Bryan: Welcome back to the Sense and Senseless Podcast. I am Brian. Yes, Jay's home. Mm-hmm. Wee wee. Mm-hmm. This Jason: I'm Jason. We we Bryan: is your first time joining us. Welcome to the family. We're just two guys talking through the noise in a way regular people hopefully can understand. Tonight is a They're saying the quiet part out loud episode. We're going to talk about a Fox segment where Trump's camp is floating payments to parents to stay home. Is that pro-family? Or just another check promised. Then we're going to go to the GOP convention where Trump tells the country, you vote the Republicans in, I'll give you some money. We'll play the clips, we'll run the numbers. And ask the only question that matters. Where the hell is all this money coming from? We'll discuss a report that states that maybe BB got a warning before October 7th. And we'll end with my beach thought that somehow ends with fire and bird migration. If you like your politics with Levroy Edge, you're in the right place. Please like, share, follow, and subscribe. We appreciate every single one of you. Jason. Yeah, I think. Jason: No man. Let's roll it. Bryan: right, so last weekend I was walking through the house and I heard the people on the sitting on the Fox couch on Fox News. They were discussing that Trump was floating the idea of paying women to stay home. So of course I stopped to see what the L they were talking about. Now my first question was how does this help everyone? While I do believe families should be able to survive on one income. If we solve that problem, then more women and men could stay home and raise their Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: own children. So let's fix that. Whatever that is to l allow one person to be able to work and support a whole family, let's fix that. But the people on the couch at Fox News seems to think that this is a great idea. They were saying shit like, we're already paying single people to stay home with kids, and we're penalizing married couples. Most of their programs require you to be a single mother, and this idea would allow them to get married because some couples don't marry due to losing their assistance. Think about that, Jason. Does that make sense? Jason: No. I mean other than I see a there w there was a TikTok I seen this lady telling her kid you're not gonna go get a job. He got a job offer. And she said, Hell no, you're not doing that 'cause if they find out you're living in here with a job, I'm gonna start losing some of my snap benefits. Now listen, if if we can all sit here and judge and I'm not trying to do that tonight. hopefully that don't because man, I've been in a bad mood all week. You know what I'm saying? We were talking about that earlier before the show. You're you haven't been in a good mood. Today didn't really help you move down any better. Bryan: Not at all. Jason: And I'm hoping we can we can chill out and cut up. You know what I'm saying? And Bryan: Yep, we are. Jason: And n and not judge and not get pissed off about shit, but I'm sure you're gonna show some stuff tonight that's gonna make us a little upset 'cause it's just happening, right? It's but back to her point, if somebody needs it, what let's just say sh that woman needs it, right? She's hurting or whatever, and then her kid fin like an older kid finally has the ability to go get a job at a grocery store or McDonald's or Taco Bell, man, I I would have loved to work at Taco Bell back in the day. I'd probably be broke eating all the food. You know, I'd spend all my money I made on food. But anyways, and it would take away her benefits to provide for, you know what I'm saying? For the rest of the house? That's the most stupidest shit I've ever heard. Bryan: You don't think that more women should be at home taking care of their family? Okay. Jason: Yeah, I believe that. But but when they are saying that married people getting penalized or that if I get married I'm gonna lose my benefits. Bryan: Well, what they're saying is, just to clear that up, what they're saying is is right now people aren't getting married because if they do get married, they will lose their benefits. Yeah. Jason: That's what I'm getting at. Bryan: Okay. Okay. I just want to make sure we're on the same page. Jason: Yeah, no, that's that's stupid. Why why would that We needed welfare back in the military, back in the Marines almost. I mean we could barely surv well, I know I I speaking for myself. But and a lot of people are on that now. Some of are on welfare. Bryan: Do you believe more single people would get married if they were allowed to get their benefits if they were married? Do you believe that we're paying with us paying women to to stay home, which we're saying now, they're paying women to stay home, but as long as they're single mothers and they're paying for their kids, Jason: Why? Bryan: do you think those mothers would marry if they could still get their benefits? Jason: think they would. I mean who doesn't want companionship? Bryan: Okay, so that's what they're saying, that most of these people would love to get married, but they're not getting married because if they got married, they would lose their benefits. Jason: And I don't understand that. Do you understand that policy or reason? Bryan: Why they have to be single mothers? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: No, that's just the way it's set up. Why it's like Jason: I know. Bryan: that, I I don't know. Jason: That's messed up. I mean, I don't think it should be something that the welfare thing, we've talked about this before, generation after generation that that needs to stop. We need to find out how to make pe people a you know, get in the workforce and get working to contribute, but I mean, if somebody needs it Bryan: Okay. Well, let's say we agree with this. Let's say we believe that this is gonna turn our country around. All right. Jason: I'd like to see it. Bryan: where's the money coming from? What they were saying on Fox News is this is not gonna cost us any extra money. We there's already a program in place to do this. And there is a program. It's that's pla that's paying these parents right now to stay home with their kids as long as they're single parents. It's the child care and development fund. Jason: Never heard of that. Bryan: So the Child Care and Development Fund currently has a $12.38 billion budget. And currently there's roughly 1.3 million kids on the current program. The average cost per kid is $9,000. Estimated cost of $11.7 billion spent on the $1.3 million children at $9,000 per child. Based on those specific figures. There's six hundred and eighty million left over from the twelve point three eight billion child care and development fund. that remaining balance is six hundred and eighty million. This sur Jason: Where's that going? Bryan: this surplus could theoretically fund about seventy five hundred or seventy-five thousand five hundred and fifty-five more children under the stay at home parent proposal before the budget hits its hard cap. that's not taking in that's not taking into account the operating costs and whatever else they have money allocated for. All right. So first of all, I don't know how many women will be quitting their jobs for $9,000 per kid per year. All right. I I don't think that gets many people to where they need to be. Jason: Mm-mm. Bryan: So I right off the bat, I I don't I don't see that as we can't afford it for one, but I don't think that helps the average person. Is it good for someone starting out? It might be. I don't know. You know, but for somebody that's already established, somebody that's working, I can't see them just giving up nine thousand dollars a year. Right, giving giving up their job for nine thousand dollars a year per kid. Unless they got like fucking ten kids or something. They might be worth it. I don't. Jason: Yeah, if they got ten kids, Brian, but damn. Bryan: Yeah. And as we just pointed out, more money would have to be allocated to this current program, or there will be a lot of people not getting their assistance. It's getting harder and harder and harder for us to stretch these dollars when you just fucking giving it away for votes. And this is on top of all the fraud in the government. So do I want to spend tax money this way? No, I don't I don't want to spend tax money that way. Do I want more families to be, you know, like a family and have moms raise their kids and not discourse them? Yeah, I do. But I don't want to give them just give them money. Let's fix the fucking problem. You know, let's fix the value of the dollar. Let's get back to where families can survive on just one salary. I don't want to just give people money because the people in charge can't quit fucking spending our tax dollars. You know? I mean Jason: Yeah, I know. You know how much that equates to per day per kid? Bryan: What's Jason: Twenty four dollars and sixty five cents per day. Bryan: Twenty four dollars and sixty something cents a day, you too can save a life. Jason: You can support a kid. I mean, come on, man. What are we doing? Is this Africa or y Ethiopia or what I mean, damn, this United States. You're not mate, you're not providing for a kid for that per day. Bryan: if you got if you got three kids, that would be what eight twenty seven thousand dollars a year? Jason: Yeah, that'd be seventy three dollars and ninety seven cents a day for three. Bryan: Now, don't get me wrong, that can help a lot of people. I'm not saying it can't. I don't think that if you have a a job, I don't think you're quitting your job to stay at home and raise your kid because, you know, with with this I I don't think it it fixes things the w I don't know. I doubt it. I Jason: Is that tags free? Yeah. Bryan: mean, I don't know anything in that's tax free. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: But that was just something that they were looking at. That's something they were talking about on Fox News and it caught me. And I was like, What the fuck? I mean Jason: That's far fetched, dude. Bryan: I don't know why they wanna I know why they want to keep coming up with all this stuff is they I this is this is my opinion. They're constantly pandering to us as the poor people. You know, they Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: they they gotta give us, you know, cheap meat, you know, they gotta give now they gotta give us money to stay home, you know, five five wives to stay home because they fucked everything up. You don't just try to fix what you fucked up. You know, quit stealing our money, stop the fraud, help us just get back on our feet. Not giving us money by fixing everything. Fixing the shit you fucked up. You know. Have you Jason: about lower that gas price, dude, three eighty nine a gallon where I'm at today. Bryan: But have you seen the dial? Jason: Fuck the Dow, Brian. I can't put the Dow in my gas tank. So Bryan: You should. Jason: well, I'm not Bryan: So what else has Trump done this week? And I don't wanna be all over Trump. I know everybody gets aggravated when you're talking about Trump, but man, it's just Jason: He makes it so easy though. Bryan: God. And it's not even easy. It's it's we're we're to the point to where we're just trying we're like fucking just drunks in a strip club, right? With this endless money that we're just taking from the taxpayers and just fucking making it rain. We're just throwing money to everybody. Yeah. So if you haven't heard that GOP had a national convention this week, these conventions have been safe for presidential elections, but since our politicians are doing such a fucking great job. They threw themselves a convention. And we all know that, they all know that the midterms are huge. I mean, what happens if the other party wins? It's all over for us, right? We hear it all the time. But as I said before, it's not a huge election for us. It's a huge election for them. They them can't afford to lose their seat. We don't have people representing us. We have figureheads servicing us. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: These people have no souls. Well, most of Look. At least anyway, most of them. I can't say all. They them need those positions because without that position they'd nothing. These are the same fucking people that you know where you work or went to school. The fake people that give off their fake persona. They seem to have nothing, nothing that's humane in them. Where most of you have a job, these people Are their job. You know, everything they do is about their job. Their job is their identity. Everything is their idea. You know, it was their political background, their political seat is their identity. And you know people like this. We all do. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: And I bet you don't like the ones you know. Right? Am I lying? Jason: Right. No. Bryan: So why do you feel like you need to support the ones that you don't know? We don't know these politicians. We know they're fake ass persona, right? And that shit ain't real. Jason: Yeah. Their stage name. Bryan: Exactly. Yeah, it's like cinnamon. You know? On stage now, cinnamon. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: Now, I would believe if you listen to this, if you're listening to us, you're likely a real motherfucker. And you don't identify with these fake ass people. But I I don't understand why we hell bent to support That makes sense. I mean, do you not know people like that? Jason: We see in our comments all the time, man, when we get some of so Bryan: No, I I think we all have worked with someone that Yeah. Jason: We've we know people people about it too. I mean, yeah, we know some people that are just die hard. Bryan: You'll see people that no matter what company they work for, everything is their company. You know, everything they talk about is their company. It it without their company that, you know, is nothing. They would step on you to get to the, wherever they need to get. They don't care. That's all they want to do is because they believe that they need to be at that next level. Right. That's the same people up there. They're no different. They're the same assholes that you see every day, but yet you support these guys like they're your friends. Don't make no fucking sense to me. Jason: And what have they done for you? Bryan: Have you seen the Dow? Ha ha ha. Jason: talking about both sides of the if somebody wants to sit down and stop Bryan: Yeah. Jason: telling me what the other person isn't doing, but what their person is doing, that's what I want to hear. What is your person doing for you? Bryan: Yeah, and I'm not even talking about the president. The period. The politician. Jason: No, just you tell me whoever you support, what were they doing for you? Not what Trump isn't doing for you or what Trump's messing up. I know he's messing up a lot. But where was your Bryan: You know what gets Jason: where was your candidate at? Because if your candidate would have been better, I would have voted for them. Agree? Did we not both say we're pretty well independent? I'm gonna vote for the best person that that that you're putting out in front of me. Bryan: Yeah, I did not believe that Kamala or Joe was better than Trump at all. I didn't no. I I Jason: It's it's like it dude, it's like No. Bryan: I won't say that I that's not how I felt. Jason: I sat and looked at my wife that that that one televised thing he did from the basement of his home. Bryan: a button? Jason: And I said, is this shit for real? This dude looks like he's at a nursing home and got a hold of a camera and a live feed. Bryan: Yeah, what they Jason: And if some bucks running for president and he won. Bryan: Yeah, I don't that that's a whole nother story right there. Jason: I've never d and we could talk about Bush Junior like couldn't even spell what what was that potato or something in the book or something. He was at that Bryan: Are we talking about George W? Jason: Was it was it no, it was junior, wasn't it? Bryan: Which one's junior? Jason: George W. Jr. George Bush and then George W. I'm sorry. Yeah. Bryan: there's no Yeah. Jason: I thought it was Junior. I I I've always heard of him or or named Junior, but I mean and when he got up in front of the camera a lot of times, even with the nine eleven and then saying we were going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I meant some of the shit coming out of his mouth was like, dude, somebody needs to polish up your damn speeches because That that crab sounded Western Virginia or I I'm sorry for saying that, but up in the hills where you your family trees two by four and don't have no limbs, probably don't have splinters. But you see what I'm saying? There's Bryan: Yeah but Jason: been idiots on both sides of the tree. Bryan: We constantly and we talked about this before, we constantly talk about presidents like they're the ones that's controlling everything, but yet we have these congressmen that stay yeah Jason: And Senate. Bryan: they stay in in power or you know, in politics for forty plus years and those Jason: You said somebody died in there. Bryan: what's that? Jason: You said somebody died. Bryan: Yes, yes. Th it was a couple of people in I mean, not like I don't think they died like in the house, but yeah, they they died while serving. Hell we Jason: While active. Yeah. And it wasn't like 'cause they're like 50 or 60 years old, they were like up in their late 80s, early nineties. Bryan: Yeah, I'd have to go back through the numbers, yeah, on how many we had over seventy years old that's still in our political ranks. It it's unbelievable. It it we shouldn't have that. We just shouldn't. It's but Jason: No, we shouldn't. I'd I'd I'm big on term limits. I wish they would have term limits for them. Bryan: I think they should have term limits. I think this it it but for all, you know, Senate and whatever Republican or whatever you call that shit, Congress. What what do you have? You have the you have the House and you have the Senate. So for all of them, but I think the House right now is only two year terms. It's okay, it's yes two year terms, but it's unlimited amount, right? Jason: Yeah, you can be voted in for as many as you want 'cause you got a bunch in been there a while. Bryan: And in the Senate's what every six? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: what did Trump do during his speech at the National Convention this week? Jason: Ain't talent. Bryan: Yeah, well, I mean, most people know. He basically said, vote for the GOP and I'll send you $5,000. If the Republicans win the election, you get $5,000. You get $5,000. You get $5,000. Jason: Everybody gets five thousand. Bryan: I mean, are we so blatant in this country that we go on the main stage and tell people that you will basically buy their vote? Here's Trump. Let's see what he got to say. So I guess we got store credit. We just gotta spend it here. Jason: Yeah. Now okay, he gives me the money. How can he dictate where I spend that? How can they control that? So I I'm you know where I'm gonna go with this real quick. Just like the overtime. No tax on overtime. That's not that's not the way it was presented. I don't get overtime my salary, but my guys do. It's better than nothing, but it they'll tell you it wasn't nowhere near what he said it was gonna be. It was gonna the way they made it sound like when these guys got overtime, every paycheck that wouldn't be taxed. And it's not like that. It's at the end of the year and it's only for so much and blah. It's got all these little caveats tied to it that they didn't talk Bryan: And I think it's only Jason: about. Bryan: until twenty twenty eight when he gets in off gets out of office too. Jason: And I'm sure somebody will overwrite that and get rid of it. You know what I'm saying? So Bryan: Now I I it did it it didn't work out the way he said it did. I can say that it did help the guys though. You know, it did Jason: It did. Bryan: yeah, you know, I'm not gonna say it didn't help. It did help. It it but y but it wasn't as advertised. Yep. Jason: That's what I'm saying. So th to me, this five thousand dollars, that would be ten grand in my house and ten grand in your house. Fifteen if you're, you know, your stepdaughter's there. And Bryan: Are you are you mad about that? Jason: no, I'm not mad about it. What I'm saying, I don't think it's that way. It's probably some kind of tax write off at the end of the year that they're gonna give you that you're not really Bryan: Maybe so. Jason: even gonna You're not going to get a refund for five thousand apiece. I really don't think they're going to do like they did the stimulus check on that. I really don't. Bryan: Do you think it's a a boat grab? Jason: It sounds like it. I mean, he's he's telling you. No, he damn near Bryan: Sounds like it. Yeah, it sounds like Jason: told you if the Republicans win both, then you're getting this. Bryan: And see, this is what I try to get out and and and people beat me up about it all the time. I'm not bashing Trump. I'm just showing you what Trump's saying. I'm not trying to say that, you know, he a lot of people come Jason: He's passing himself. Bryan: yeah, a lot of people come at you with, do you know he's a racist? Do you know he's I don't have any proof on any of that stuff. So I'm not gonna sit here and say he's a racist or he's a pedophile. I mean, I Jason: Or a pedophile or whatever. Bryan: I don't have any proof on any that stuff. This is what he said though. Jason: Yes. Bryan: And I don't like this. I don't like the fact that we're trying to buy votes. I don't what I really don't like the fact of is that we're so blatant that we'll go on stage and say that. And then so many people will support it. You know. But again, if he sends you five thousand dollars, who's gonna say no? But he's pandering to us again. That the poor people, he is. I mean, because five thousand dollars could help all of us a lot, you know, it could. Jason: For poor people, that's life changing money, dude. Bryan: For poor people. Exactly. I mean, that's helps a lot. I can't say that Jason: Yeah. Bryan: it wouldn't. So would it could it sway to vote? Quite possibly it could. Will it? I I don't know. So let's look at the numbers. All right. So every adult in the US, there are about 240 to 270 million adult citizens in the US. So you take five thousand dollars for all those, you're looking at one point two, one point three trillion in one year. All right. That's larger than our fucking defense budget. Now, if you cut the high income people out, so if we put, let's just say we put a a cutoff at $400,000 household income. Anybody making over $400,000 won't get the five thousand dollars. It drops it to around one point one five trillion. Jason: It's still over. Bryan: It's still over a trillion dollars. Yeah. Jason: Where's that coming from? Bryan: We're gonna get to that in a second. All right, so Laura Ingram asks Trump about his five thousand dollar dividend. So his Trump. At the end. Did you catch the end? That Democrats Jason: Yeah. Bryan: can't do it 'cause it's negative growth, but for them it's so positive. And he says that Jason: Yeah. Bryan: a couple of times after that. Jason: I know he keeps he's she called him out. It sounds like you're trying to buy the vote. Just give it right now. I mean, sir you want to buy the vote better? Hand it out right now. Well, no, I guess I could see that Bryan: Gotta keep the carrot. Jason: back backfiring on you. Like I got my money and I can go vote who I want to. Bryan: Yeah, you gotta keep carrot out there, man. All right, so Jason: Yeah. What what is that? That progressive commercial with the fishermen with the you almost had it. You almost had it. Yeah. Bryan: you gotta be a little quicker than that. So w where's the money come from? Well here's Vance at the convention after Trump had spoken being asked the question by Fox's Brett Bear. Where the money's gonna come from. And basically what he's telling them is we're gonna use that one point two trillion dollar tariff rather than tariff revenue. Check this out. Feel better now? JD Vance. So he talks about this tariff money, and and I look for the numbers, and the numbers I find are anywhere from 155 billion to 300 billion collected in tariff revenue. So where the fuck does this $1.2 trillion tariff revenue number coming from? I'm not a I'm not 100% sure. I kept looking, but the closest thing I can find comes from the Yale Budget Lab revenue proje projection. According to this projection, The $1.2 trillion is estimated total revenue of all existing US tariffs over a 10-year window between 2026 and 2035. So are they lying to us? Everything just a slide of hand? Jason: Are they gonna do an IOU? Bryan: I don't know. I don't know where this money's coming from. Well, I can't say I don't know where this money's coming from. Money money is just Jason: Maybe they're gonna take it out of the defense budget like we were talking about where our weapons are. They keep asking Bryan: But Jason: for money, man, and there's nothing showing for that money. Bryan: Well, I I we got old cheeseburger. Right. So d this is this is Trump out there sounding like old cheeseburgdy. This shit right here is hold on let me find cheeseburghetti. Here we go. D do you think that's who wrote his fucking speech? Jason: Yeah, I think the same dude that did that speech is right and Trump shit. Bryan: Went back to idiocracy, huh? Yeah. Jason: Yeah. I love that movie. Bryan: So is the GOP using the same tactics that it blamed the Democrats for using and buying votes? You know, they always talk about the Democrats are buying votes by giving all these benefits to, you know, the poor and saying, hey, look, as long as you vote for me and you stay poor, we're gonna give you this money. That's basically in a roundabout way, that's what Jason: Yeah, going after all the inner city people and all that stuff, the welfare and you know what I'm saying? Fattening that Bryan: Exactly. Jason: up and all that, yeah. Bryan: So is the GOP using the same tactics that they blame the poor, you know, saying, Hey look, we're gonna give you money. And don't get me wrong. Jason: Dude, it's almost it's almost like watching that movie with Will Farrell and Zach Gaffinal Office or whatever, the the candidate or Bryan: yeah. Campaign, yeah. Jason: campaign or whatever. Yeah, where they he wants to do that, well, we'll do this. I'm you know, he he mess with my son, I'm gonna F his wife. You know what I'm saying? It's like if they're doing that, we're gonna do it too. Bryan: Or at some point if you Jason: I'll vote for you for being honest. Stop being shady. Bryan: If if someone's actually always taking the high road and someone's always taking the lower road, and I'm not gonna say who's doing what, but if that's the case, you would eventually think in order to get where you wanna be, the one that's taking the high road is gonna start taking the lower road because they it's not what they're doing everything they can, they're doing everything right. So why they fucking should keep doing everything right when the ones that aren't doing everything right are getting what they want to. You know, it's I understand that mentality. I don't like that mentality, but I understand that mentality. And some will say, you know, what's good for the goose is good for the ganda. And I get that. Tit for tat, you know, I for an eye. Somebody has to be better. Somebody has to rise above that and just be better. You know, if they can do it, why not us mentality? I'm not gonna say that I don't understand that mentality. I do understand that mentality. I think that mentality brings us to the road of idiocracy, is what I think. You know? You know, I understand the thinking doesn't mean I have to like it. You know what I'm getting at? And I've said this many, many, many, many, many, many times. Jason: Lots of time. Bryan: Lots lots of times Trump was supposed to be different. Jason: He was. Bryan: He was. I don't care who I mean, that's what he was. He was not a politician. He was a businessman. Jason: He even admitted I can't be bought. Bryan: Yeah. Jason: Like his first election, he like when he was campaigning, he brought that up a bunch. I can't be bot. Every one of them some bucks in there are bot and we're gonna drain the swamp. Bryan: Do you think Trump realized that he can't drain the swamp without fighting with swampesque ways, you know? And that's why he's using some of the swamp tactics? Do you think that's Jason: I know this is kinda weird and I'm probably gonna catch crap or you know, p somebody's gonna be like, You're retarded. Well it thanks. we already take that on pretty regularly. But anyways Bryan: Yeah. I I know I'm fucking a little fucked up, so I get it. Jason: Yeah, my my mom and dad might have dropped me a couple of times when I was a baby. I don't know. Mom may have threw me in the dryer a couple of times to drive me off. But besides the point, where was I going with this? Yeah, see, I got messed up memory. no, no, I was just messing around because people Bryan: my question, do you want me to ask my question again? Okay. Jason: call stupid. When I was a when I first became a supervisor, I had all these ambitions and goals that I wanted to do right when I got in there. Like crap I wanted to stop. Do not I wasn't going after dudes. I just wanted to correct some dudes that I was seeing on a regular basis that were causing hate and discontent, morale to be low, and I wanted to get a lot of shit that I already had plans. And you know what my manager did? He sat me down and he said, Listen, I know you probably got a lot of stuff. Let me hear it. And he let me spill it all out. Like he was gonna back me up. You know what he was doing? He Bryan: Was that Jason: he was getting it all out of me so he could say, you know what? You can't come in here swinging. That's not how it works. You gotta you gotta take it slow. You gotta and then what does that what does that condition me to, Brian? When I I did change some stuff, but when I kinda slowed down and I wasn't ambitious to go after what I thought needed to be done, I kinda just gave into it. Because I was told not to go in there swinging and and and and busting chops and you know what I'm saying? Bryan: Well, what if you did go in there swing say he didn't sit you down, you went in there swinging, but yet you could not make any difference. Would that have changed you the same way? Jason: Don't know because I can't go back and say that. But I think he got in there. One or two things happened. He either lied. To get in there, right? Cause he's a narcissistic businessman, that that'd have been another notch in his belt that I was president of the United States. Not only was I a multi billionaire, but I was president of the United States. And I wasn't even a politician. Look at me. Cause we all know that he wants to be seen and heard, right? I mean, we've seen that with his the apprentice and all this other shit he's done. And then so it either lied and and got in there to and and just did whatever and is making money hand over fist on other shit or he got in there with the intentions to not be bought and all that and it was a lot bigger than what he could even imagine it was, right? And there's just that place is a cesspool of toxic crap that you can't you can't clean it. Bryan: So you think fighting back against the left requires adopting the same tactics as the left? I mean, based off of what we're seeing now. And I'm not saying like you personally, if if you in the office and you in the politics, like Trump, you know, the president, and all the shit that he's gone through, because he's going through some shit, you know, all the stuff, whether he was guilty or what not, whatever it is, but he went through a lot of shit and a lot of attacks. If you get an attack like that all the time. Do you think eventually you like, all right, so now I need to use the same tactics they're using in order to break them down? Or is that more of a you did it against me, so I'm gonna do it against you? Jason: I don't know, man. I still think it rolls back to he was so damn desperate to get back in there to finish this. To get his not to finish what he started, but to finish to to have that s he was so hurt about losing that one to Joe Bryan: Twenty twenty? Yeah. Jason: that he he did whatever he had to, and I think I or I think Israel has control over him. Yeah, I think he did. I think Bryan: You think the devil went down to Georgia and he was looking for a soul to steal? Jason: he saw signed the dotted line to get his ass back in there. Bryan: Quite possible. I'm not saying n I won't argue that point. Jason: But there also is the point where you're bringing up that yeah, he could be doing that shit out of spite. It almost th that that's that's an option too, but I still lean on the Israel thing, but there's another option of Hey, Brian, you and Jason I heard do some wet work and we need you to go into this country and do this and we be like We're gonna have to stoop down to a level you've never heard of in order to do that. So you know what I'm saying? You know, is Bryan: Okay. Jason: is he stooping down to to make sure that the Republicans train keeps running? Bryan: Well I could tell you this, and from my opinion, if you want to turn this country around and you really want it to make a difference, Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: you're gonna have to make a lot of fucking noise and you're gonna make a lot of people uncomfortable and you're gonna make a lot of people unhappy. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: I don't know if he's doing that. I think he started to try to do that. I don't know if he's doing that now. And I just don't see it. You know, it's possible, but there's just a lot of dumb shit I see like this, you know, wanting to just give people money. I don't if you that damn good. It this is how I look at it. If if you that good and people support you, everything you do is working, you don't have to buy people off. You don't. You just don't. I don't care how you look at it. You don't have to do that. You don't have to come out and tell people every day how great you are. You don't. People just see it. You know? Jason: Yeah. Your actions show that. Bryan: Do you think Trump's popularity and support would be better had he not started this war with Iran? Jason: Yeah, I think that's something he was big on the first term is remember he had the he went and met with Kim Jong and it been a long time you own or yeah, you know, I Bryan: Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong ung. Jason: met with him too. I showed pictures, I got pictures of that shit and yeah. Bryan: Rocket Man. Jason: you know, he did some stuff, peace talks and treaties and all that stuff that no other president was getting done for the longest time. And and I think that was eye opening to some people that man, it looked like he was trying to bring stuff together and not Bryan: That's my biggest thing is Jason: Dude, eight years ago, why weren't we talking about Iran eight years ago? Bryan: I don't know. Jason: Why wasn't he concerned with Iran eight years ago? Bryan: 'Cause I don't know, maybe the Epstein files wasn't so big eight years ago. Well, here's Lord Ingram asking Trump, well, pretty much saying that you would have probably been better off if you hadn't start war with Iran. You're wrong, Laura. As Royal Laurel Rome? Do you think he's just out of touch with people? Jason: He can't stand to be told that he messed up. He he can't stand to admit it. He's human. We all mess up. We did we not say that one of our podcasts? I'd be if that dude came on the news tonight or or or you know at the Oval Office on every damn flipping local channel, right? The president's speech and said, Hey guys, I messed up. As of now, we're bringing everybody back. I called Iran. They're going to open the straight up. I told Israel to go F themselves. Release whatever the hell you think you got on everybody. And if you ain't, if you don't straighten your ways up, the whole Middle East is going to turn on you and we ain't going to back you up. You know I'm saying? They're all going to, you can't def Israel can't defend all of them. If the Middle East came together and went after Israel would get their ass beat if we weren't there to help Agree? Okay. Bryan: I agree. I ever I think the whole world knows that. Jason: What would you not be like, all right, that's the mother effer I voted for? Thank you. whatever. And I can Bryan: I I think ma Jason: forgive. I I forgive you, do, because I can only imagine what it's like to be up there in that position, right? Bryan: Yeah, I could I can't imagine. The the thing that I see though that probably would bother him, just look at the comments that we get. All right, and we we're nobody. Imagine he as much flack that he gets all the time and he admits he's wrong. He's gonna get a lot of flat. You know, maybe he does he don't want he don't want that negative publicity. Me personally, I see okay, look, like just like you said. Right, that's pretty good. You know, I mean you admit it you were wrong, you're turning the shit around, you saw that we were basically going to a dead end, and instead of keep just losing people, you know, spending money and not having a whole lot to do with it, and we're just gonna stop and we're gonna do what's right for the people, our people. I think a lot of Jason: Right. We're gonna get back to making America great. Bryan: yeah, I think people can get on board with that. But just this calendar year. I mean we we've already been pirates. No, we have we we stormed ships and took them from Venezuela and now we're storming ships in the Middle East and we have the the naval blockade outside the Strait of Hormuz. We have killed and kidnapped leaders of other countries. We have allegedly brought in some cheaper fuel In some of the areas, I don't know if you knew this in the the northeast, it's called Freedom Fuel. Now, to be Jason: Heard of Bryan: yeah, to be clear, this Freedom Fuel is or was privately run. It was a rebranded gas stations in the New Jersey and Philly area. Trump promoted these discounted gas stations, but I didn't find anything that stated that the government helped or supported these stations financially. However, these stations back. In July, they sold fuel 40 to 50 cents per gallon less than their local gas stations. The political pitch was: look, prices can be lower. Fuel prices still show to be cheaper than other stations in that area. But the average savings isn't 40 to 50 cents per gallon anymore. They're saying that this gas was basically sold at a loss. And I'm not sure how a private cun company sells shit at a loss and survives without a subsidy. I just not saying the government's involved. I just don't know how a private company sells shit at a loss. I didn't find a good source that states how this loss is made up. Some suggest that maybe they were making up the difference with sales in the store itself. You know, they bring in so many people and they just go in and buy all this shit at the convenience store. Or maybe they wasn't paying their bills as one current lawsuit against some of the owners of these stations stakes. I don't know. But rest assured our government is not behind that. And then last week we discussed the hundred year deal with Venezuela oil reserves. We discussed the cheap meat that was going to help you with the hamburger helper and meatloaf. And now we're just gonna hand out money for votes and pay people to stay home. They're just shower showering us peasants with handouts. Almost if they're trying to buy the vote of the common man. Why are these people trying so hard to stay in power? I I can see if they were bringing us answers to our true issues, but it seems as if they're just trying to pacify the poor and middle class to get what they want. And of course, I get that's what politicians have done forever. But I say again, Trump was supposed to be different. Was it not? Jason: Yeah, he was. But then when you started saying about that Gaza that Gaza committee and he's on it and he can't get voted off, you know what I'm saying? Even if Bryan: the peace yeah. The peace committee or whatever it is. Jason: Dude, I'm telling you these hoes these hoes ain't staying in the Congress and Senate in their eighties and stuff like that because of A hundred and forty thousand dollars a year, I'll t are they? Bryan: It's it's gotta be their pension. Jason: Either bitch and dude, you're so full of shit. Bryan: Why not? I mean, they might have they they got a great pension. Jason: Dude, they're making hand over fist on all this other stuff. They're making generational money. Bryan: no doubt. They they're setting up their families forever. And they bleeding us dry while they're doing it. I mean our Jason: Yeah. Bryan: it it's sick. It's really sick. And we just need we need we need something. We need somebody, something Jason: But you got these big families like the Rothschilds, and that's just one of them. There might be some some other ones, dude, that we don't even know their names. That that it's like a the Congress and sent the government's like a pr like piranhas in a fish tank. And they're just dropping crumbs and them dudes are going. I mean, it's life-changing money for them, but it's nothing to these elite families that are pulling the strings. Bryan: no doubt. Jason: And we're so ignorant thinking that our government is what is the buck stops at our government, that nobody is above our government. Bryan: Think about he just said that he would give everybody $5,000. Jason: Right. Bryan: And a lot of people, again, would be happy. I would be happy to get that $5,000. No. You know, Jason: I ain't gonna turn it down. I ain't sending it back. Bryan: so imagine you're a politician and somebody's setting your family up for generations. I mean, you'll give them anything they want. Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: Yeah. There'd be another one, the devil went down to Georgia, the devil went down to DC. Jason: I mean, dude, they're selling their souls up there. Bryan: They're just all soulless. Majority of them. I can't say they all. I I want to say they all are, but I mean, they might be one or two good ones that just can't get through. But just like your manager sat you down, you can't make me think it's not the same way in DC. Hey man, I know you want to come out here swinging. But ain't how it works around here, Bubba. Get in line. Get in line. Jason: Yeah, we don't care who you are, what you think you can put out to the news, that's that I mean, you're you'll be gone. Bryan: yeah, you you you won't you don't like you want your political career to last? You better get in line. You know, we don't we I know you supposed to represent your people. Ain't how shit works around here in DC. Law don't go around here, law dog. Jason: Yeah, they killed Charlie Kirk with a thirty odd six with some frail kid. Bryan: Yep. Better believe it. Jason: And it didn't even it didn't even sound plausible and they don't give a shit. Do they? Huh? Bryan: What what you saying they didn't? you w you you better be careful with that undertone. They don't. Jason: They don't even care how it sounds or looks anymore. It's just gonna be done. It's gonna be done and you're gonna deal with it and you're gonna accept it. Bryan: Yep. Just get in line. Jason: So I don't care how narcissistic you are, how prideful you are, you better get on get in line or get get on board, or you're you're not gonna exist no more. I guarantee. Bryan: That's why you need to just blow it up. I mean not physically, but you know what I'm getting at. You gotta you gotta have term Jason: No, he didn't go in there and just Bryan: limits and just say, look, we're gonna we're gonna start all this shit all over again. Starting a ground zero. Let's let's start a Jason: But they're so smart, dude, that we d look at it. I mean, look at our comments. And thank you everybody for all the the n the the Bryan: yeah. Jason: good comments and and the interaction. We love that. Thank you so much. I don't know what took so long to get out to most of y'all, but we appreciate the support and and Bryan: Appreciate you. Jason: but look at some of the ones that came in there with their negative crap. I mean, you s you show me that video. There's people that just do that for fun. But you but A couple of them did reply back, which tells me they're not the ones doing it for fun. They actually believe that. And I and I'm sorry for you guys to think that because they know the government knows the the people above the government, controlling the government knows that we're so damn divided, we're not gonna come together to tell them we're not tolerating this shit no more. You guys got two years. Bryan: We're about to get twisted sister on your ass. We're not gonna take it. No. Well, yeah, D. Snyder. Jason: Gonna take it. No, we ain't gonna take it. And I don't even wanna yeah, don't even copyright and throw copyright laws at us, internet, because we can't sing worth a shit. You don't even know who sung that song. So, but Bryan: Not at elite, not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. So yeah. Jason: you you see what I'm getting at? They we we're just I hate saying it, man. I'd love to see it. I'd love to see this country come together. and slam down term limits. Me and a guy or w another supervisor at work were talking the other night that it needs to be a point to where you get in there and if you ain't doing what you said you were gonna do, we'll get you out quicker than that. Bryan: You know what they need? K need KPIs. We all get graded with KPIs. We need ki KPIs. They need to be able to check see see exactly how you're doing. you ain't doing this? hold on, look. At six months we're gonna talk to you and we're gonna we're gonna let you know as a politician how well you're doing by representing us. And if you Jason: Yep. Th you get a thirty sixty ninety. And if you ain't cutting it by ninety days, and you're gonna be on a thirty sixty ninety your whole term. If you're Bryan: Yeah. Jason: not doing it, we'll get the next guy in. If he don't do it, we'll keep moving. Somebody'll finally be like, Shit, I better do what I told I'd do. Bryan: problem is is our vote isn't worth as much as the money that runs this shit. Jason: And you can't prove what somebody voted for. Bryan: It's all an illusion. It's all an illusion. All right, let's move on because we we got try get through this. There. Jason: All right. Yeah, we can go for days on this shit. Bryan: So I I use this website called WorldMeter during COVID to help me track the COVID cases versus deaths throughout the world, as well as the states. I when COV COVID first came out, I just thought it graph and everything. Cause I was curious because the numbers didn't add up that was on television. And this is not about COVID, but there's a lot of good information on that site anyway. It's called World Meter. If you ever get a chance. Go check it out. I mean, it's all kind of shit on it. It talks about like they'll show you how many cigarettes will smoke today and all that kind of thing. If you're a nerd, it's some good information on there, all right? But this week, that's this week I'm gonna show you something about the all reserves. So check this one out. Can you see that? Jason: can you zoom it in a little bit Bryan: See if I can Jason: better? Bryan: see if I can blow it up so Jason: Blow that shit up. Bryan: I can't blow it up. But the first one says let's see. Th there you go. Now can you see it? Jason: There. Yeah, I just Bryan: I went to full page. Can you see it? Jason: Yeah, I can see it. Bryan: All right, so it starts you see the top ten. Jason: Yeah, yeah. So you got Libya, Russia, United States, Kuwait, yeah, yep. All the way to Venice, white left. Bryan: All right, so so what jumps out at you on that? Jason: Venezuela's number one and we went and moved their leadership around. Bryan: It says seventeen point two percent of the world share in Venezuela. How much we got? Jason: four point seven. Bryan: And then you got Saudi Arabia, Iran, Canada, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait. Seem like every fucking country we fuck with got a lot more than we got. Does it not? Jason: Rand's the only one not in in line. That's kind of weird, isn't it? Bryan: Weird. Jason: If they got in line, we'd we'd have them all. Right? Bryan: You think we just support those people? Or we really want their oil reserves? Jason: Dude, we ain't helping them people out. We want that oil. Bryan: Shit's eye opening when you look at it though. You don't realize that because you it's all about energy. It has to be about energy. Energy is what keeps you moving. You know, it keeps life to where we can live the way it is. It keeps you prosperous. We need energy. Yeah, I saw that and I was like Jason: Oil's the only oil is the only thing that's going to for in their I think in the elite's eyes is gonna be is gonna last. Bryan: Well, it looks like the most of all in Venezuela, so we're up on that. Jason: Yeah, but they said it's that heavy shit though. Bryan: Yeah, but we still process it. It's not that we can't process it, it's just not as easy to process. Now, if they have five hundred years of oil and we got 80 years of oil, I think we'll figure out a better way to process their oil. Yeah. All Jason: yeah, we'll build some nice refineries that can clean that shit up quick. Bryan: right. So also this week, there was a a story that broke from I don't came and say this shit right. It's like Haroritz. It's a It's a story about Bibi and Netanyahu. It came out on September 8th, stating that Bibi had prior knowledge of October 7th, or at least knowledge that a possible attack was coming 10 days prior to the attack of October 7th. That Haretz, or however you say that word, is Israel's oldest and most prominent daily newspaper. It was founded in 1918 and published both in Hebrew and English. It is generally regarded as the high as high quality, in-depth, and left-leaning or liberal by Israeli standards. It frequently publishes investigative reporting and is often critical of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his governments. The journalists that published the story, they cited multiple sources, including three senior foreign officials and an advisor to UAE President Mohammed Bid Zayed, Who had knowledge of the call to BB with this warning. The New York Times, referring to Haret's report, stated that the UAE president Mohammed bin Zaeid personally called Netanyahu and warned that Hamas leader, Yaha Zinwa, was planning a major operation, describing it as an earthquake. Netanyahu allegedly stayed calm. Said Israel was ready and thought any action might be in the West Bank and did not pass the warning to Israel's security chiefs. Now, be fair, Netanyahu's office calls the story an absolute lie. Says no such call of warning occurred and is threatening to sue. Opposition figures have seized on it and argue he ignored multiple warnings and is unfit for office, especially with elections approaching. Of course, BB denies this, but we have spoken about this before. How this shit didn't smell right, especially considering that Israel is touted as having the best intelligence in the world, and it's slow reaction time in trying to stop this attack. Right? So it's like, why did it take four or six hours to get over there? Did they slow roll that shit? Now you don't have to take our word on it. Here's Charlie Kirk talking about the holes in the response to this attack. Didn't they give a stand down order? Jason: Girl. Bryan: Add up does it? Jason: I No, and I think he would I think he would change his tune tighten his tune up a little bit more now. Like he was given excuses of maybe some rogue people in the intel and people trying to I think he would see it now that this was maybe done to Bryan: as he got more information, yes, I would agree to that also. Jason: And that's probably what happened to him. Bryan: quite possible. It's quite possible. The world may never know. Jason: That's just my opinion. I don't have proof. That's just my opinion. I just put the puzzle pieces together, people. You got the same five hundred piece puzzle in front of you, put it in front put it together. Bryan: Let's look at a couple of stories A guy of AI that's linked together. Jason: Man, don't be dogging a Bryan: We're gonna start off with how some AI agents escaped from the test bed and went exploring to get a solution to a problem they were asked to solve. These agents were not on the internet. They were in what the tech people call a sandbox. Here's a guy on Fox explaining. By that shit. There's I have videos that I didn't put on here and that and it talks about how these AI got out and they was escaping this box. And they were given a task to do and they found a way to get out and they they hacked into something. I don't remember exactly what, but they hacked into this shit, got on the internet, and were just by they were just shortcut and everything. So the Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: people that set these tests up thought it was gonna work this way, and these motherfuckers were like, Shit, ain't doing it that way. Fuck, I know an easy way to do that. They all started talking to each other and his transcripts so you can read exactly what these people is, what these AI agents are saying, and they just did what they want it. Pretty fucking scary. And and I'm a Jason: Yeah, it is. Bryan: the next video I'm gonna play is a guy going through the tweets that that Jacob Coxson sent out the night before that that interview came out. Yeah, and I watched a interview with old Jacob Cox and he was with I can't remember the guy on CNN. Cooper Anderson. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: And he was pretty much talking about the extinction of people and shit. And he's like, I'm not trying to be sci fi and scare people, you know, basically is what he's saying. But I mean, this is where we're going. Kinda scary. Jason: Yeah, I i it it's like anything. I mean all of our stuff is digital. I mean my my medical files for my private doctor, I get all my alerts on my chart. You know what I'm saying? All my prescriptions are on there, my billing. Bryan: Now what happens when Jason: I'm in. It's Bryan: they shut down the cloud? Jason: You look everything's lost. Yeah. Like one drive and all I meant, our company went to one drive. Bryan: I know I can be a little paranoid sometimes. I'm not call it paranoia, but I I like to have backups of backups. That's just the way I am. I don't like the cloud. It's not so much I don't like the cloud because I think somebody's stealing something from me. I don't like the fact that if somebody turns the switch off, I can't get my material. You know, so I have a bunch of hard drives that I have that I keep like for work and shit like that, because I don't want to lose my shit. Think about that in a big sense of how much information stored, you know, on the cloud. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: And you just shut that off. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: What happened? Jason: Amis are gonna make or do good, aren't they? Bryan: Yeah. I would think. I would think. I don't you know, I don't think I don't know. I can't say I know or but my opinion, I don't think AI is gonna like kill us in the next few years. I just don't see that. I is it plausible or possible? I I I don't fuck no. I don't know enough about it to understand it. I just use it for basic shit. Whatever Jason: Well, if it feels threatened by us, it could take us all or try to take us all out, thinking it doesn't need us to survive, but it w i if we were there, it could go away. You see what I'm saying? Bryan: Yeah. And and I'm not trying to be naive. I'm just trying to keep myself to a point to where I don't stress the fuck out over AI terminating us. You know what I mean? Cause Jason: Yeah. Bryan: you go down that rabbit hole. I mean, I'm sure it's bad enough knowing that people in this country hate other people just because of their political beliefs or just because they haven't this is what really sad. When people hate you because you have an American flag, you know, it's like, are you fucking serious? That's bad enough for me thinking that way. To think that we have intelligence, artificial intelligence in this country on this earth that would just get rid of the human race. I don't even want to start thinking about that. You know what I'm getting at? That that's a whole new realm of what the fuck, you know, that I don't want to be part of. Now I bring up because I'm just you know, I think people need to hear that shit because yeah, you need to keep it on the fucking tip of your head. But ain't nothing I wanna fucking drill down into and say, hey, look, yeah, this is gonna happen. Somebody a lot smarter than me can figure it out. And hopefully they start waving the flag well before we all start, you know, getting attacked and shit by by a toaster or something. You know, you know what I'm getting at? Jason: Yeah, no kidding. D Transformers up in here. Bryan: Look. All right. So I want to end this episode with a short story that's totally off topic. So I was on a beach a few weeks ago and and while I was out there, I took the time to truly appreciate the feeling of freedom, you know, and relaxation. No phone, no work, just bliss, golf breeze and some shade for my umbrella. At that time it couldn't get any better. Right? Kind of like old Milwaukee's best. Don't get no better than this. Well, in that time I started thinking about how the beach or the coast in general is like God's air conditioning in the South. Now I'm I'm sure it's like this on all coasts, but for my reference, we we're gonna talk about the Gulf Coast. This led me to thinking, I bet way back in the day, you know, when people were in tents and shit, no electricity, people in the South likely moved closer to the coastline in the summer. I would assume that because you got more of a breeze. You know, just to get some relief from the heat and Maybe the Gulf Breeze did help with that. That's what that's how I was thinking about it. You know, we got good a good little breeze. You go on the Gulf Coast, it cools you down in the summertime. So that led me to start thinking that the coastline has some of the highest cost of living. Poor people can't even enjoy or in some cases aren't even allowed to enjoy parts of the coastline, yet alone go on some of those beaches. You know, there's a lot of private beaches now. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Then that went to the only reason that we, the human species, do not migrate every year like birds is because fucking fire. Without fire, we're part of the yearly bird migration. Think about it. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: If you can't warm up, right? And you have no way, all you got is your clothes on your back, and you live in the north, you're gonna go where it's warmer, right? Just like a bird. Jason: Mm-hmm. Right. Bryan: But what changes that? Fire. So that was my whole mindset was, you know, it would be nice to stay by the Gulf Coast, you know, because it keeps you cool in the summertime. And then birds migrate, you know, because they come down in the winter, because it keeps them warmer in the winter. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Well, if we didn't have fucking fire. Jason: the whole northern United States would have to shift down, wouldn't they? Bryan: They would have to come to the south. And Jason: It'd get a little crowded, wouldn't it? Bryan: then we'd have to go a little further north in the summertime. Maybe we wouldn't need the golf breeze. I don't know. That's just the way my mind thought, so I thought I'd share that story with you. Jason: All them people with the salt life stickers on the back of their vehicles. Bryan: That's right. Well that be on be on their tent. Jason: Yeah. With the sandals. Bryan: Salt life. There'd be stones, stones that say salt life in front of their fucking tent. So yeah. The only thing that keeps you better than a bird is the fire, people. It's just the fire. So Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: think of that whenever you think that you're so much better than everybody else. One thing that people Jason: And Bryan: need to think about is their one snap of a finger or system going down to being dumb. Because they don't have all that information at the tip of their fingers anymore. You know what I'm getting at? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: They're just one catastrophic off fuck to being stupid again. Night. Gain it. All right, thanks everyone for joining us. we appreciate everyone of you spending time with us. Until next time, this is the Sense the Senses Podcast. I'm Brian. He's Jason. Peace. Jason: I'm Jason. Peace.
