Super News #24-Happy President, Happy Life-Economic Update-Health-Sports Talk · Prestons Super Show

  Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Preston's
• 0:07
  Super Show. Thank you for joining me.
• 0:11
  Super news #24 and you know, there's over 300 podcast, but I
• 0:17
  started Super news again. Super News is all about the
• 0:20
  Trump era, the golden age, specifically the golden age
• 0:25
  because I thought we need something to signify to mark the
• 0:31
  golden age that we're heading into and we're heading into it.
• 0:35
  We're going, we're going to the golden age.
• 0:38
  I'm not going to be slowed down and you aren't either.
• 0:43
  I know you're not. Happy president, happy life.
• 0:51
  The FBI finally got somebody. They just arrested Nathan Vilas
• 1:02
  Lach, an IT specialist at the Defense Intelligence Agency, for
• 1:08
  attempting to deliver classified material to someone he believed
• 1:11
  was a representative of a foreign government, per The
• 1:15
  Associated Press. It's probably the farthest
• 1:19
  newspaper from the White House. They're picking their news up
• 1:23
  and bits and pieces from all different sources themselves,
• 1:30
  relying on the old way of reporting.
• 1:32
  Are they very interesting to see how these situations are turning
• 1:37
  out for our country. We understand that two courts
• 1:44
  try to jump in the way of these tariffs because they were taking
• 1:47
  a petition. It took a couple petitions here.
• 1:51
  They could have declined to take the petition, but they did take
• 1:54
  the petition. And since they did, they ruled
• 1:58
  for some reason that the Trump's were unlawful.
• 2:02
  You go back two or three podcast to go and I laid this all out
• 2:09
  for you. I mean, I laid it all out so
• 2:12
  clean and so clear. They really just don't have any
• 2:17
  idea what they're doing on this courts is what is the problem.
• 2:21
  They're doing what they want to do.
• 2:23
  They're not doing what the Constitution says to do.
• 2:25
  That's the easiest way to put it, without ranting and raving
• 2:29
  about it, even though it's worth ranting and raving about because
• 2:33
  it's frustrating. You elect the president.
• 2:36
  You, you want the president to be able to do his job.
• 2:38
  You want to experience the golden age in its entirety.
• 2:44
  And you'd like to get a little taste of that this summer.
• 2:49
  But every day the president tries to do something, and then
• 2:52
  we have to wait and see which judges are going to jump in
• 2:56
  front of it and how are they going to rule and how long until
• 3:00
  it ends up in the Supreme Court. And we've gone through this a
• 3:05
  million times. Trump has the power to do
• 3:07
  tariffs. They continue to try to
• 3:12
  discredit the president. Stephen Miller, 14 hours ago, he
• 3:17
  said we're living under a judicial tyranny, just as Mark
• 3:21
  Levin described. And I responded and I said they
• 3:26
  forgot to read JW Hampton Junior and company verse the United
• 3:30
  States in 1928 and the ruling that upheld the tariffs.
• 3:37
  They forgot about the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act in 1934 and
• 3:42
  my personal favorite, the Trade Act of 1973.
• 3:47
  All give the president power over tariffs with jurisprudence.
• 3:52
  So after two courts decided to ignore that exactly what I laid
• 3:58
  out to you, what the solicitor general knows, what they know if
• 4:02
  they read the Constitution. Now a federal appeals court has
• 4:08
  stepped in and said we will pause that order.
• 4:13
  The tariffs can stay in place and this will be appealed to the
• 4:18
  Supreme Court where Trump wants it to go.
• 4:23
  I'm not fooled. I, I don't believe you're
• 4:25
  fooled. I believe Trump knows he has the
• 4:27
  odds in his favor on the Supreme Court.
• 4:30
  The solicitor general is very impressive.
• 4:35
  I'll be talking about him some more later on in the show.
• 4:38
  I have a lot of things I want to get to with you Again, I'm
• 4:40
  trying to give you something to go out in the world with.
• 4:46
  I'm trying to teach you a little bit.
• 4:47
  I'm not trying to preach to you. I'm not trying to make you feel
• 4:50
  like you have to believe everything I say.
• 4:54
  I'm reporting what I'm reading and then I'm giving you my take,
• 5:01
  my commentary on it to help put it in perspective based on my
• 5:05
  experience as well and what I've seen and watched as I've paid
• 5:10
  attention and watched politics for the last 20 something years.
• 5:15
  Give me a break. So I know all of these members
• 5:19
  of the Congress. I know all of these members of
• 5:22
  the Senate, not personally. That's not what's important.
• 5:25
  What's important is it is that I know who they are.
• 5:28
  I know what their voting record looks like.
• 5:32
  And that's very easy to see. And guess what you can do
• 5:34
  yourself? You can go to Numbers USA.
• 5:37
  You can go to numbersusa.com and you for yourself, can go find
• 5:43
  out how your politicians in your area are voting.
• 5:48
  And you could see what their voting record looks like.
• 5:51
  You could see, are they skipping votes you.
• 5:54
  Yeah. I mean, you could see a lot of
• 5:55
  really good stuff, a lot of useful information on
• 5:57
  numbersusa.com. I'm very impressed with the
• 6:01
  voting cards and how they grade the candidates.
• 6:05
  I believe they give them a very fair grade.
• 6:08
  It's a grassroots organization, and those are the type of
• 6:11
  organizations we need more of. We need more watchdogs because
• 6:17
  yes, sometimes watchdogs may report on things and we may not
• 6:20
  all agree or we may think that maybe this is one of those
• 6:24
  gotcha articles or pieces, hit pieces that they put on people
• 6:31
  where they just write a bunch of, you know, puffed up, fluffed
• 6:36
  up information to try to make it look like the person is in the
• 6:40
  wrong. But at the end of the day,
• 6:43
  folks, when we really, you know, settle it, settle the score and
• 6:48
  get down the brass tacks, President Trump is in our corner
• 6:52
  and he's fighting for us. SCOTUS has cleared the way for a
• 6:58
  rail line in Utah. So here's the Supreme Court.
• 7:03
  They don't take too many cases every year.
• 7:06
  And here's a case they decided they would get involved in.
• 7:10
  They got involved in it, I believe, because it was
• 7:14
  basically a slam dunk. I don't think it was a case they
• 7:18
  really had to spend too much time on.
• 7:20
  I think it was an easy day at the Supreme Court is what I
• 7:24
  believe it was. And in this order, and I'm going
• 7:30
  to read you a little bit out of this article here from CNN.
• 7:34
  The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the scope of
• 7:37
  environmental reviews of major infrastructure projects in a
• 7:40
  decision that could speed up approvals of highways, airports
• 7:44
  and pipelines. And that's the bottom line.
• 7:48
  I mean, that's the bottom line. It was an 8 O decision.
• 7:54
  Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for the court.
• 7:56
  There was no dissents. The liberal and conservative
• 8:00
  justice agreed with the bottom line decision.
• 8:03
  There is an 88 mile railway that would carry waxy crude oil from
• 8:11
  the Utah Basin in Utah to existing rail networks.
• 8:18
  We know how important crude oil is and moving it in our own
• 8:24
  country shouldn't be an issue. You have these environmental
• 8:30
  groups that like to get up and try to get in the way of these
• 8:33
  great projects that are being made in in great progress for
• 8:37
  our country. Kavanaugh says that courts
• 8:42
  should afford substantial deference and should not
• 8:46
  micromanage those agency choices as long as they fall within a
• 8:49
  broad zone of reasonableness. And that's very well put.
• 8:56
  Simply stated, NEPA. NEPA is a procedural cross
• 9:01
  check, not a substance substantive roadblock.
• 9:05
  He later added the goal of the law is to inform agency decision
• 9:09
  making, not to paralyze it. There's 9 justices on the
• 9:14
  Supreme Court, 6 are conservative, 3 are liberal, but
• 9:20
  conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch did not vote on this
• 9:26
  case. What he did was recuse himself
• 9:30
  and he didn't explain or give a reason why.
• 9:33
  But CNN says it's because Democrats on Capitol Hill were
• 9:38
  arguing that a Denver based billionaire named Philip and
• 9:44
  Schultz, A longtime ally of Gorsuch, had a financial
• 9:48
  interest in the outcome of the case.
• 9:51
  But when you look at the ruling of the case, 8 to nothing.
• 9:58
  So that seemed to be a little bit of a skunk game.
• 10:03
  The Democrats on Capitol Hill were trying to play with one of
• 10:06
  the Supreme Court justices, and they ought to be careful with
• 10:12
  their words when they speak about Supreme Court Justice
• 10:16
  Gorsuch because he's been very patient, as the rest of them
• 10:21
  have, with their insinuations and kind of careless
• 10:28
  accusations. But this is typical Democrat
• 10:33
  scare tactics, typical Democrat. They want to make you feel like
• 10:41
  they have you cornered and you have to push back and you have
• 10:46
  to fight back. But I understand in certain
• 10:50
  scenarios you don't want to make it look political either.
• 10:56
  Being a Supreme Court Justice, the Trump administration is
• 11:03
  backing Cox versus Sony in these record labels.
• 11:10
  And this is May, if this may make it to the Supreme Court.
• 11:14
  What we know now, and I will read you what I know from Ars
• 11:20
  Technica because I was going through this article because I
• 11:23
  had a great interest in it. I thought it was very important
• 11:28
  as we're talking about the courts, as we're talking about
• 11:32
  the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.
• 11:36
  The Solicitor General Sauer says that the Supreme Court should
• 11:49
  grant Sarah Torii to address the first question presented in
• 11:55
  Cox's petition, whether an Internet service provider
• 12:00
  materially contributes to copyright infringement by
• 12:05
  continuing to provide Internet access to particular subscribers
• 12:11
  after receiving notice that copyright infringement has
• 12:15
  occurred on their accounts, Sawyer wrote.
• 12:19
  He is the US solicitor general. He is the the top lawyer in the
• 12:25
  land, right? He's the top one.
• 12:27
  That's Trump's guy. He's he's fighting all these
• 12:30
  cases if they make it to the Supreme Court.
• 12:33
  The Trump administration took an interest in this case last year.
• 12:37
  the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit vacated, removed a
• 12:43
  $1 billion damages awarded that Cox would have had to pay
• 12:49
  because they found that Cox did not receive a direct financial
• 12:52
  benefit from its subscribers. Infringement of copyrights.
• 12:58
  So they're saying Cox is not benefiting in any way, shape or
• 13:03
  form from people pirating, from people illegally streaming, from
• 13:11
  any type of copyright infringement In the case brought
• 13:19
  by Sony and other record labels, wants them to basically kick
• 13:26
  anybody off, provide no service for anybody caught doing any
• 13:33
  type of piracy. They would have to #1 identify
• 13:39
  the customer who used it for the unlawful purpose, which would be
• 13:44
  very difficult. If you're talking about people
• 13:47
  in other nations and other countries, I think that's a very
• 13:56
  difficult thing to ask and it would be something that, you
• 14:02
  know, I don't know how, you know, you can argue that they
• 14:07
  should have to do that. That's very difficult.
• 14:10
  Sauer has written that they're basically overstating what Cox
• 14:17
  knows and what Cox has allowed, that they are not liable for any
• 14:24
  direct infringement committed by any of those users whose
• 14:28
  identities it does not know and whom it has no contractual
• 14:32
  relationship. Sauer argued that the Supreme
• 14:38
  Court should grant review of the second question presented in
• 14:41
  Cox's petition, which concerns the circumstances under which a
• 14:45
  contributory infringer can be held liable for enhanced
• 14:50
  statutory damages based on a finding of willful infringement.
• 14:55
  Enhanced damages can be $150,000 per work instead of the usual
• 15:00
  cap of $30,000. The jury in the case was
• 15:03
  instructed that it could find Cox's violations willful if Cox
• 15:07
  knew that its subscribers had committed infringement, Sauer
• 15:10
  wrote. That instruction was mistaken
• 15:14
  because it allowed the jury to award enhanced damages even if
• 15:17
  Cox reasonably believed that its own conduct in declining to
• 15:20
  terminate infringing subscribers Internet access was consistent
• 15:25
  with the Copyright Act. He is asking that they reject
• 15:32
  Sony's petition. And Sony was not happy with the
• 15:35
  4th Circuit ruling either, because it threw out the $1
• 15:38
  billion reward and finding a vicarious infringement.
• 15:47
  So Sony argued that Cox profited from the infringement by failing
• 15:51
  to terminate infringe subscribers, and that the ruling
• 15:54
  eliminates an especially important tool in the digital
• 15:57
  age we're pursuing direct infringers, in this case
• 16:00
  thousands of faceless individuals who cannot be
• 16:02
  identified except through an Internet service provider like a
• 16:06
  respondent, is impractical at best and impossible at worst.
• 16:13
  You see what I'm saying about Sour?
• 16:16
  You see why he's in the position that he's in?
• 16:19
  He is that good. Wonderful article over here at
• 16:23
  Ars Technical by John Brodkin. I'm going to link these articles
• 16:29
  I'm talking about into the podcast show on the website on
• 16:34
  mayaband.com. So you'll always be able to go
• 16:36
  back there and reference them, bookmark them to yourselves,
• 16:41
  highlight what you like in the article when you filter back to
• 16:45
  it for whatever research you're doing, whatever project you're
• 16:48
  on. But I love to get into the the
• 16:53
  death of some of these reports because some of them have
• 16:57
  substance. You know, when I read this, I'm
• 16:59
  like, this guy's, you know, really went to the the nitty
• 17:02
  gritty of figuring out what this case looks like.
• 17:06
  And I appreciate that. You know, I was thinking the
• 17:11
  other day too, I'm like, you know, when I started the
• 17:14
  podcast, when I really got into doing it, it wasn't political.
• 17:18
  It wasn't to make political points.
• 17:20
  It was to give refreshing takes on what I heard and things I
• 17:26
  knew and situations I was in. But also to have kind of like a
• 17:29
  variety show, a lot of different topics, entertainment and
• 17:34
  economy. I was knew the economy would be
• 17:37
  a part of my show. I always knew entertainment
• 17:39
  would be a part of my show and sports would be a part of my
• 17:41
  show, but politics was something that I cared about.
• 17:46
  But talking about it was going to be a different task for me
• 17:50
  because I believe what I believe and I'm very open to new ideas
• 17:59
  and and hearing other opinions. I don't feel like some people
• 18:04
  do, you know, like maybe on the radio is a good example of a lot
• 18:08
  of people do a great job, you know, but the problem I feel
• 18:11
  like sometimes is that you could really almost let your callers
• 18:15
  run the show for the most part. And people would love to hear
• 18:19
  different viewpoints and different ideas.
• 18:21
  And, you know, a lot of times people like to hear themselves
• 18:25
  talk. And on a podcast, getting guests
• 18:28
  is different than on a radio. On a radio, you're there because
• 18:31
  they put you there. You're paid to be there, but now
• 18:34
  the radio is becoming a place where they're throwing podcast
• 18:37
  on and TV is a place where they're throwing podcast on.
• 18:41
  You got a camera, you got a microphone.
• 18:43
  You might end up on, you know, one of these conservative news
• 18:46
  channels or one of these grassroots news channels.
• 18:49
  You don't really know. And that's why I could take you
• 18:52
  to do my podcast. Not that I hope I end up on some
• 18:56
  channel somewhere, but that would be cool.
• 18:58
  I'm just saying that you have to keep going.
• 19:01
  You, you, it's not about just, oh, I have this goal.
• 19:03
  So I'm just going to work towards that goal.
• 19:05
  It's about, look, I love doing the podcast and my show has
• 19:09
  evolved into something really good and really powerful for
• 19:13
  people. And even when I go back and
• 19:16
  listen to episodes, I learned something from myself or about
• 19:20
  myself, you know, And it's, it's like looking at yourself in the
• 19:24
  mirror when you hear yourself speak again.
• 19:27
  But yes, my goal is to bring guests on.
• 19:30
  My goal is to get more people for you to hear different
• 19:32
  viewpoints for you to hear when you come to this show.
• 19:35
  But why you're here now on the Super news.
• 19:37
  Now it's my responsibility to put on a good show for you and
• 19:43
  to mix it up. So you will hear a lot of
• 19:46
  variety in the coming episodes. The politics won't go anywhere.
• 19:51
  The politics are the politics, but you're going to hear an
• 19:53
  increased amount of variety in the show.
• 19:57
  But because the news is moving so fast right now, and, you
• 20:01
  know, you could miss maybe one day or two days at the most, and
• 20:06
  then the news has just passed you by.
• 20:08
  I mean, you're overwhelmed with the amount of news that's out
• 20:12
  there. So yes, if you did step away for
• 20:15
  a week or two and came back, nothing much would change.
• 20:19
  You know you wouldn't be out of the loop too much, but you
• 20:22
  wouldn't really be in the loop either.
• 20:24
  So you always have to keep that in perspective.
• 20:27
  Like sometimes you just need that small dose of news to catch
• 20:30
  you up to speed. In my show, the Super show in
• 20:35
  the Super news is the format for you to get that in if you're
• 20:38
  looking for that small dose. But if you're looking for
• 20:41
  something to listen to while you're working or working out or
• 20:44
  whatever you do, because maybe you know, you might be going for
• 20:47
  walks or it's getting so nice outside that you're spending a
• 20:51
  lot of time outside, you just may want to throw something on
• 20:54
  the speaker. the Super shows on Pandora, so I know it just
• 20:58
  rotates randomly into people's Pandora streams.
• 21:02
  You know, it's just rotating randomly in places.
• 21:06
  But the Super show is accessible everywhere.
• 21:10
  You can always go to my on man.com and get the latest
• 21:13
  episode on Bypass Everything, especially advertisements
• 21:18
  because I put the audio on the website.
• 21:22
  So now that I've broken all that down for you, the United Nations
• 21:29
  will cut over 6900 jobs. Now, number one, this seems like
• 21:36
  it was well, you know, long overdue.
• 21:39
  Well done. You know, however they got this
• 21:42
  done, I'm going to say thank you Trump because they say because
• 21:46
  of a 20% budget cut, 6900 jobs are going to be lost at the
• 21:52
  United Nations. This is all due to US funding
• 21:57
  decreases per Reuters. Thank you Reuters, the thank you
• 22:02
  unusual whales for tweeting that out.
• 22:06
  But it's very important to understand that that the United
• 22:08
  Nations is filled with so many anti American people, just
• 22:13
  people that are just anti American, anything American,
• 22:16
  they're just not for it. So no matter if you're a
• 22:18
  Democrat or a Republican, they're not for America.
• 22:21
  It's not going to work. We're not global citizens.
• 22:25
  That has to really stop. That was part of the Third Way
• 22:31
  with Bill Clinton and the United Kingdom and all of these leaders
• 22:35
  trying to get together. And, you know, maybe they were
• 22:39
  trying to whip up something like some old Woodrow Wilson type of
• 22:43
  vibe with this Third Way talk. But all that is, is just another
• 22:47
  arm of the Democrat Party. Trump is happy again.
• 22:54
  He says he is so smitten with Elon Musk.
• 23:00
  He is so happy with Elon Musk. They're going to have a press
• 23:04
  conference tomorrow. How about that?
• 23:07
  That's beautiful. Elon Musk is stepping away, but
• 23:09
  he he says he still wants to be a part of, you know, a council,
• 23:15
  a way to reach the president to talk to him and, and have some
• 23:19
  type of insight, some type of ear going on.
• 23:24
  And, and I think they could set that up for him.
• 23:26
  I think he'll be able to get on a council or an Advisory Council
• 23:30
  and be able to stay involved but focus on his companies, which is
• 23:37
  what he really wants to do. People forget, you know, he's
• 23:41
  trying to keep X running and be the best platform out there,
• 23:45
  which I believe X is the best platform out there.
• 23:47
  I believe you get the most reach on X.
• 23:50
  You get the quickest following on X.
• 23:53
  You know, when you start to get your stuff taking off on X, it,
• 23:57
  that's it. If you know the old Twitter,
• 23:59
  that's it, you know, So you know, you look at the Boring
• 24:04
  Company, you look at neural link, he wants that to take off
• 24:09
  to really help people and rehabilitate people.
• 24:11
  I think that would be great. You know, you look at some of
• 24:16
  the other things he wants to do with star link and Space XI mean
• 24:20
  he continues to just amaze us and people don't appreciate Elon
• 24:28
  Musk. They don't.
• 24:30
  I've had my doubts. I said, you know, he's doing a
• 24:33
  lot for the world, why not do a lot for America?
• 24:36
  And then he showed up and did a lot for America with Doge, which
• 24:40
  is really Elon Musk's baby doge is that's his even even though
• 24:46
  he's not running it anymore or not in charge of it, he's always
• 24:49
  going to have a connection to that because he was the one that
• 24:52
  came forward and proposed it. He was the one that said we need
• 24:55
  a Department of Government efficiency to make the
• 24:59
  government more efficient and to call out where the government is
• 25:02
  not efficient at. So we can go ahead and make
• 25:05
  correct, make corrections and begin to push through changes
• 25:10
  the things that can be applied. And that's what Elon Musk is all
• 25:14
  about applying changes. So he was, he was very
• 25:19
  disappointed when Congress the last couple weeks haven't jumped
• 25:23
  on top of the Doge cuts And they've, they've had them there
• 25:27
  and RO Khanna put some on the floor, but they weren't the Doge
• 25:30
  cuts they wanted. And now they're going to have a
• 25:32
  huge package or rescission package, over $9 billion package
• 25:37
  in cuts. They're going to come to the
• 25:38
  floor. And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty
• 25:42
  confident that the House is going to get this done.
• 25:45
  I don't believe that the Congress, that the House
• 25:48
  themselves, the House of Representatives is at fault
• 25:53
  here. I, I think they could pick up
• 25:55
  the pace. I think they should be a little
• 25:58
  bit more involved and engaged with what's going on in the
• 26:01
  world, especially in our country.
• 26:04
  But more so, I'd like them to just pick up President Trump's
• 26:09
  agenda and get it done. Ram it through.
• 26:13
  Pass, pass, pass as many bills as you can.
• 26:16
  Don't just introduce legislation because you guys are doing a
• 26:20
  great job of introducing legislation.
• 26:23
  We need to pass those laws and put them up for votes.
• 26:27
  See who will not stand with the Republicans.
• 26:32
  Don't worry about protecting the majority right now.
• 26:35
  Worry about advancing President Trump's legislative agenda that
• 26:40
  he has handed over to you. Now he's going to work with this
• 26:44
  big, beautiful bill in the Senate to get this done.
• 26:46
  Because right now, the Senate is our biggest concern.
• 26:53
  If you're a Republican, if you're a conservative, if you're
• 26:55
  someone who is leaning towards individualism, limited
• 27:03
  government, Republicanism, if you're just leaning towards some
• 27:09
  of those things. Our biggest concerns, the
• 27:12
  Senate. We have a majority of the
• 27:15
  senators, 53, who are Republican by party affiliation, but we
• 27:25
  have about 5, maybe 4 who are acting like impostors.
• 27:34
  Something is going on here, and we'll see how this plays out.
• 27:38
  We'll see how the big beautiful bill is handled.
• 27:41
  We'll see what the work requirements look like at first.
• 27:44
  The governing Republicans, this little governing party that are
• 27:51
  very fiscally conservative, they claim to be, but it aren't
• 27:56
  putting any type of legislation forward.
• 28:00
  They're just nitpicking at what they don't like about the big
• 28:02
  beautiful bill. But they're not addressing what
• 28:06
  needs to be changed, how we can get it down and exactly what
• 28:11
  we're going to do to shrink that so we can get it back to the
• 28:14
  House for a swift passage back to the Senate and then to the
• 28:18
  president's desk. This is the process that has to
• 28:22
  happen. These are the civics.
• 28:25
  They know the civics. Well, they should.
• 28:29
  I hope they know the civics. I hope they know how this
• 28:32
  operation runs. Because the Democrats sure did.
• 28:37
  When those Democrats took over the last Congress, they rammed
• 28:40
  it through and then they went and enjoyed their summer on the
• 28:44
  taxpayers dime. Or the Republicans couldn't do
• 28:47
  anything. But the Republicans have to do
• 28:51
  more. They have to do more for me.
• 28:54
  They have to do more for you, but they have to do more for
• 28:57
  their constituents, all of us, all of us together.
• 29:01
  They have to do more for not just Republican voters, not just
• 29:05
  the base, but there is a lot of issues and a lot of concerns
• 29:10
  that I'd love to see the Republicans jump on top of.
• 29:14
  And they could start at any time.
• 29:17
  I have faith in the Supreme Court of the United States of
• 29:20
  America. I have faith in this Congress.
• 29:24
  I do think this Congress has the most upside out of any Congress
• 29:27
  we've ever seen. And I believe this Senate, even
• 29:31
  though it's a little bit of a gridlock Senate, still has the
• 29:35
  populist agenda in mind, the Trump agenda in mind, the mega
• 29:39
  movement. Most importantly, I support and
• 29:42
  I love President Trump with every fiber of my being because
• 29:48
  he's actually fighting for us. He actually cares about the
• 29:51
  American people and he's not being treated fairly.
• 29:56
  I see it, you see it and you know it.
• 29:59
  On this half of the hour. I just want to thank you again
• 30:02
  for listening to Preston's super show.
• 30:06
  Now. Been reading something
• 30:09
  interesting here about this Mr. Floyd Brown and he says I was
• 30:17
  fired yesterday by Richard Grinnell from the John F Kennedy
• 30:23
  Center for the Performing Arts. One month ago I was recruited to
• 30:29
  join the Kennedy Center as a Vice President.
• 30:34
  My firing came approximately 2 hours after CNN sent an e-mail
• 30:40
  asking me to comment on my past writings and statements about
• 30:45
  traditional marriage and homosexual influence in the GOP.
• 30:53
  So he responded to the e-mail and everybody saying, well maybe
• 30:57
  that's, you know what you shouldn't have done?
• 31:00
  That you don't owe them an explanation.
• 31:03
  You don't owe them or anybody an apology for your beliefs about
• 31:08
  traditional marriage or influence of homosexuality in
• 31:12
  the GOP. But something's interesting with
• 31:17
  this story. We have Todd Starnes, who's, you
• 31:21
  know, Newsmax host who's very well read.
• 31:24
  And he says if these claims are true, it would be an egregious
• 31:29
  error. There should not be a religious
• 31:32
  litmus test for public service. The Trump administration needs
• 31:36
  to clear this up ASAP. I agree.
• 31:42
  The Western Journal, they had their take on it.
• 31:47
  Breaking news, Trump appointed Kennedy Center vice president,
• 31:52
  fired by gay Kennedy Center President Richard Grinnell after
• 31:59
  refusing to renounce Christian beliefs on traditional marriage
• 32:03
  following ACNN inquiry. That's a bit ambiguous, but if
• 32:12
  that's what you think, Western Journal, then that's what you
• 32:14
  think. But if you notice something
• 32:19
  here, it's centered around one of the main components of the
• 32:28
  mega movement. This is the issue where we have
• 32:33
  religious liberty. Or don't we?
• 32:37
  I can work on my job, but also I'm not allowed to be a Catholic
• 32:40
  at my job or I'm not allowed to be a Christian at my job or you
• 32:43
  can't be a Jew at your job. That's not what religious
• 32:48
  liberty is. I wear a cross every day where
• 32:51
  wherever I go wear a cross. I don't wear a cross to remind
• 32:54
  myself I'm a Christian. I don't wear a cross to remind
• 32:57
  myself I was raised Catholic. It's not why I wear.
• 33:02
  I wear a cross. I wear a cross for you.
• 33:06
  So when you see me, you know what I stand for.
• 33:11
  Goes without saying. Don't be afraid to bear your
• 33:17
  cross. Never be ashamed.
• 33:20
  And this is the problem with people.
• 33:23
  They're ashamed. They want to be somebody, but
• 33:27
  they're ashamed to be exactly that person.
• 33:30
  And look, there's a lot of stigmas flying around, but I
• 33:33
  still believe you got to be who you are.
• 33:35
  I still believe that. And if that means, you know,
• 33:40
  kind of weird, as long as you're not hurting anybody, especially
• 33:43
  kids don't hurt. Kids don't hurt anybody.
• 33:47
  And if you're weird, you're not hurting anybody.
• 33:50
  You're not doing anything online that is illegal.
• 33:54
  It's OK to be weird. You could be a weirdo.
• 33:58
  That's fine. I'm not mad at you for being a
• 34:00
  weirdo. Just don't hurt people.
• 34:03
  Don't put people's lives in jeopardy.
• 34:05
  And maybe if you are a weirdo, don't throw stones in a glass
• 34:10
  house. Don't do it.
• 34:13
  Take the High Road, take the road.
• 34:16
  Jesus did. Jesus could hang out with that
• 34:20
  rich guy as long as he wanted. Hung out in the house parties,
• 34:28
  pool. That means you could have had
• 34:29
  the works and Jesus said you got to give all this up.
• 34:33
  If if this is going to work, if you want to come into a
• 34:37
  relationship with God, you got to give up that materialistic
• 34:42
  mentality. That's what it is.
• 34:46
  Jesus was the one that said it's not about being moral, it's
• 34:51
  about not being materialistic. That's what Jesus was about.
• 34:56
  Jesus didn't say I need the finest of the finest shoes to
• 35:01
  walk in. He never asked anybody for that.
• 35:04
  He never said I have to have, you know, some type of
• 35:07
  protection on my hands to do this.
• 35:09
  He never said that He was who he said he was, and he was God when
• 35:20
  he was anointed. And from that moment, Jesus has
• 35:30
  continued to rule over this world.
• 35:35
  But we have to deal with the devil of this world on a daily
• 35:38
  basis. And the devil's not looking for
• 35:47
  fair weather Christians. He's looking for the hardcore
• 35:50
  Christians. He's looking for the hardcore
• 35:52
  religious zealots. He wants them because as soon as
• 35:57
  he can get them, he knows he has someone that's going to push his
• 36:02
  agenda. That's what the devil wants.
• 36:04
  He wants you to push his agenda. This is why I say you have to
• 36:07
  stay grounded in your roots. You have to understand that
• 36:11
  Mother Earth is God's earth and we're all a part of this
• 36:16
  together. We have to do better for each
• 36:18
  other. I know online it's very easy to
• 36:19
  pop off. I look, I'm not innocent in
• 36:23
  that. We've all popped off and said
• 36:25
  things, but never threaten people online.
• 36:30
  That's my warning to you. That's one thing I will not do.
• 36:34
  I will not threaten somebody. That's how you go to jail.
• 36:37
  We've had two people in the last two weeks that have threatened
• 36:41
  the president. They're in jail now.
• 36:43
  We had one person threaten Christine home.
• 36:48
  He's in jail now. We had somebody threatened to
• 36:51
  shoot some Democrats up somewhere.
• 36:54
  That guy's in jail. Do not threaten people.
• 36:59
  Voice your opinion is protected under the 1st Amendment.
• 37:02
  Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 37:05
  But after that, hate speech is not protected.
• 37:08
  You cannot be going around making threats.
• 37:12
  And the FBI themselves say today they're overwhelmed with these
• 37:17
  James Comedy copycats who continue to post 8647 and they
• 37:23
  think they're going to get away with it, but they're not.
• 37:26
  You don't understand. I'm not going to sit up here and
• 37:28
  play cop and robber with you. That's not what I'm interested
• 37:31
  in. Read, read my stories if you're
• 37:33
  interested in cops and robbers. I write stories.
• 37:35
  I write the mysteries. I write the police stories.
• 37:39
  They're a lot of fun. I get to make up the cops.
• 37:41
  I get to make up the investigations.
• 37:44
  I get to decide it. That's what I like to do.
• 37:47
  You know, I like to have that control and I get to bring that
• 37:50
  into my universe and my world and then give it to you so you
• 37:56
  can have fun with it. You can build it up, you can
• 38:00
  pick it apart. You do whatever you want with
• 38:01
  it. Once I put it out there, that's
• 38:03
  why I love fiction, because fiction has elements of real
• 38:07
  life. Definitely, definitely elements
• 38:11
  of real life in every fictional tale.
• 38:15
  But the difference between fiction and nonfiction is
• 38:17
  nonfiction is important. I, I believe it's important to
• 38:21
  read both. I believe you got to have a good
• 38:22
  balance. I believe you got to have some
• 38:24
  nonfiction so you understand truth, you understand how to
• 38:28
  search out truth and you understand how to speak truth.
• 38:33
  And the only way to do that is from reading truth.
• 38:37
  And you can get a lot of that with nonfiction.
• 38:42
  But fiction, fiction itself is the prize genre.
• 38:51
  That's the that's my preferred department to read and write.
• 38:57
  But I do read a lot nowadays. I read a lot more non fiction
• 39:00
  than I do fiction. I keep I keep religious material
• 39:06
  in its own category. You know, I read a lot of
• 39:08
  religious material as well. But I read more fiction than non
• 39:11
  fiction. I probably read more religious
• 39:13
  material than all combined. But you know, if I was comparing
• 39:18
  just fiction and nonfiction, you know, autobiographies and
• 39:21
  biographies compared to murder mysteries and ghost stories and
• 39:26
  stuff like that. I, I look, I'm, I'm on the
• 39:28
  fiction side all day. I like to read and be
• 39:30
  entertained. I don't, I don't need to sit
• 39:32
  through lectures and read and then in my whole day I didn't
• 39:35
  get any entertainment. I like to get entertainment from
• 39:37
  reading just as much as the TV. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm very up
• 39:42
  to date with everything going on.
• 39:44
  So I encourage people to read fiction, not just because, you
• 39:47
  know, I write fiction, but I write some non fiction too.
• 39:51
  But you know, fiction is where you get to have your fun.
• 39:55
  That's where you get to have your say.
• 39:57
  You know, when I wrote Badge in the Shadows, I studied the
• 40:01
  Chicago police hierarchy in the rank system and I I got involved
• 40:08
  in learning about how the operation works in the Chicago
• 40:11
  police system, and I came up with my own task force.
• 40:16
  You know, inspired by, you know, certain elements from the
• 40:19
  Chicago Police Department, but ultimately it was not going to
• 40:23
  be their hierarchy. I just wanted to know how their
• 40:25
  hierarchy worked. So that way I was on the, you
• 40:31
  know, the cusp of what real law enforcement is doing and what it
• 40:37
  looks like. But then when I write, you know,
• 40:41
  when I wrote my first book, Badge in the Shadows that you
• 40:43
  can go out and buy or read online it, you know, that set
• 40:47
  off the the saga that was, you know, not going to be a one and
• 40:52
  done. It made more sense to to to
• 40:55
  write the sequel. Like I did smoke on the cruise.
• 41:00
  And now I'm working on the third one under the Caribbean moon,
• 41:02
  which I hope to have done this summer.
• 41:04
  That's my goal I'm shooting for. But I've also launched other
• 41:07
  things like Odd jobs. You can go read Odd Jobs on
• 41:12
  getinkspired.com or you can go to My Odd Man.
• 41:14
  That's the official story for my odd Man is odd Jobs.
• 41:19
  It there's no timeline on when I have to drop the story.
• 41:23
  You know, there's nobody saying you have to drop the story here
• 41:25
  because I'm self published. But I studied that Chicago
• 41:30
  police force in depth to understand not only how the
• 41:33
  hierarchy works in a police force, but rankings and, and
• 41:37
  kind of the inner workings of the department all the way to
• 41:40
  internal affairs. So I really went through not
• 41:43
  just, you know, how we watch TV shows and I've seen every
• 41:47
  episode of Law and Order. I mean, I've seen all of this
• 41:49
  stuff, so I know how it runs. But then when you go to look at
• 41:53
  the actual legitimate system of how police hierarchy works, that
• 42:00
  really will help. If you're looking at writing
• 42:02
  mysteries, look at how the hierarchy works, look at how the
• 42:05
  actual department runs, and then you'll have a very good idea of
• 42:11
  what you're trying to write opposed to what's out there
• 42:17
  already. So that way you're not looking
• 42:20
  like you don't have any creative ability.
• 42:24
  You know, don't, don't spread yourself out too thin.
• 42:28
  You know, definitely be robust in your writing.
• 42:30
  And then when you have to go make the corrections and
• 42:32
  changes, then you make them and you, you reduce things.
• 42:35
  But you at first go robust, go big.
• 42:38
  And then, you know, as you go through your second draft and
• 42:41
  then your final draft, maybe you do a couple, a lot of people,
• 42:44
  you know, some people doing like 7 drafts.
• 42:46
  Look, you got to put the story out at some point.
• 42:50
  You know, I'm sorry, you got to put it out at some point.
• 42:52
  If you're doing 7 drafts, you might not have what you think
• 42:55
  you have. You know, I, I believe in doing
• 42:59
  a rough draft, a real rough draft, rough, shoddy, and then
• 43:03
  doing a updated version and then doing a final cut and then going
• 43:08
  through making sure everything reads right.
• 43:10
  That's my process. It works for me, for other
• 43:14
  people. They want to be like deeply
• 43:17
  involved in that. And the problem is you need to
• 43:23
  be the author, not the editor. You know what I mean?
• 43:26
  You need to be the author. You need to delegate a little
• 43:29
  bit of that. You need to be open a little bit
• 43:32
  to letting someone else kind of come in and be like, get, let me
• 43:34
  get someone else to proofread it.
• 43:37
  Let me get someone else to, you know, review a chapter.
• 43:41
  Let me let me you know, kind of test this out and stuff and then
• 43:44
  launch it when you're doing your first book or your second book
• 43:48
  or something, you know, you, you put these things out there now
• 43:51
  because everybody wants to read online.
• 43:54
  So it's so easy to build the following with online stores.
• 43:56
  People go, I would do traditional or self published.
• 43:59
  If you can get the traditional route, I applaud you.
• 44:02
  I think you'll make a lot of money if you can hit it in the
• 44:05
  right way. But if not, most authors do stay
• 44:10
  broke. So I would say, you know, keep
• 44:12
  your options open. Don't ever stop writing, Don't
• 44:15
  give up on your dreams, but keep your options open and understand
• 44:18
  what you stand to lose and what you stand to gain.
• 44:21
  Definitely. And you know, don't accept ramen
• 44:25
  noodles, don't accept Mac and cheese for the rest of your
• 44:27
  life. Be better, be bigger.
• 44:30
  What I'm telling you is push it to the limits, hammer it home
• 44:35
  and then learn to sell the thing you know.
• 44:37
  And then if you don't, if you can't learn to sell the thing,
• 44:39
  get some people on your side who believe in you and, and, and
• 44:42
  they'll fight for you. They'll sell it for you.
• 44:45
  And you'll get your ideas out there.
• 44:46
  You'll get your your recognition, but maybe, just
• 44:51
  maybe, if you care, you will worry more about getting the
• 44:56
  story out there, the characters out there, then you will getting
• 44:59
  your name out there. Because that's what I care
• 45:01
  about. I care about getting the story
• 45:03
  out there, getting the characters out there.
• 45:05
  I want people to be excited about Lieutenant Rison.
• 45:12
  I want people to be excited about Captain Davis, the Third
• 45:18
  Louis Reinhardt, who became Mayor Reinhardt.
• 45:21
  I want people to be excited about these things.
• 45:23
  I want people to feel like they're a part of a story.
• 45:26
  They are seeing the development of the characters right before
• 45:30
  their eyes, and it's not something that they, you know,
• 45:36
  can't love. So that's why I love to write
• 45:39
  and inspire through writing. Jin Psaki lost her primetime
• 45:45
  show on MSNBC. Looks like they're shuffling the
• 45:48
  cards. Remember, she was former
• 45:52
  President Biden's first press secretary.
• 45:57
  And look, at the end of the day, her big line was, we'll circle
• 46:01
  back to that. We'll circle back to that.
• 46:04
  And she was a part of the cover up.
• 46:05
  We all know she was. She was a part of hiding the
• 46:08
  auto pin and who was behind it. And she still is.
• 46:12
  And she knows more than she leads on.
• 46:14
  And I think for MSNBC's own sake, after all these reports
• 46:18
  and all of this news is rolling out, they're just trying to
• 46:20
  distance themselves from this. I mean, it's been a joke.
• 46:24
  It's been an absolute joke. Just like this governor of
• 46:27
  Hawaii. I'm not impressed with this guy.
• 46:32
  Number one, with all due respect, this governor, Josh
• 46:37
  Green, looks like he should be the governor of Dairy Queen, OK?
• 46:42
  He doesn't look like he should be the governor of Hawaii.
• 46:45
  Hawaii becomes the first state to pass a climate change tax
• 46:49
  targeting tourist. He is imposing a .75% green fee
• 46:58
  on hotel stays and cruise visitors.
• 47:01
  The tax takes effect in January and aims to offset environmental
• 47:07
  impacts. No it does not.
• 47:10
  It looks to fill their fat pockets.
• 47:13
  That's what it looks to do .75% on every single tourist that
• 47:17
  comes to Hawaii knowing they get a lot of tourism.
• 47:25
  Hawaii is not a cheap place to live either.
• 47:32
  I always look at that to be, you know, very interesting.
• 47:37
  I don't know, I, I don't think Hawaii would be like the
• 47:40
  cheapest place to live. And you look at the the charts
• 47:42
  and the stats and kind of backs that up that that's not a cheap
• 47:45
  place to live when you got a guy like this, You know, and I don't
• 47:50
  know how this guy, it doesn't look Hawaiian to me, became the
• 47:56
  governor. And I the only way I could see
• 48:00
  that is, you know, just a huge push for from the progressives
• 48:04
  to try to keep this island under Democrat control, which is, you
• 48:10
  know, what they're effectively doing with this carbon tax.
• 48:14
  Disappointed in that. But one thing that will make me
• 48:18
  happy is talking about the economy.
• 48:20
  The economy news is bussing. We're going to talk about the
• 48:24
  economy. We're going to go with the Dow
• 48:26
  Jones, S&P 500 and the NASDAQ all up today.
• 48:32
  And right as the markets were closing right about then is when
• 48:35
  that appeals court stepped in and set up tomorrow for a great
• 48:41
  Friday, hopefully a major rally tomorrow because now we know the
• 48:45
  tariffs are going to be in place over the weekend.
• 48:47
  Investors have No Fear come Monday.
• 48:50
  The tariffs are in place. No one else can rule on it.
• 48:52
  They won't rule on it until next week, the Supreme Court.
• 48:57
  So since they won't have any type of ruling until next week
• 49:00
  or maybe even a little bit later, the tariffs are in place.
• 49:06
  So the investors fears are calming down.
• 49:14
  Jim Cramer got out there and said it was a fake rally today.
• 49:17
  Even though everything ended up in the green.
• 49:19
  It wasn't a it wasn't a major rally, but everything ended up
• 49:22
  in the green is a good day. This is going to be a pretty big
• 49:26
  show. So I really hope you come back
• 49:28
  and enjoy this one or no Stew on it for a while.
• 49:31
  That's good too. I appreciate that.
• 49:34
  You know what, the Dow Jones, the NASDAQ in the S&P 500
• 49:38
  finished up really big pop today when the S&P and then the NASDAQ
• 49:46
  followed suit, trailed off, trickled off towards the end of
• 49:49
  the day, still finished up. The Dow was struggling today and
• 49:53
  then it finished up. But it's a good sign.
• 49:57
  I mean, it's really a good sign for the country.
• 50:02
  What it did was it put these other countries in their place
• 50:06
  because they want to take advantage of our market.
• 50:08
  First, they want to take advantage of the American
• 50:10
  premium customer that spends more money per capita than any
• 50:16
  other consumer base in the world, period.
• 50:20
  Then they want to take advantage of the investor, the American
• 50:23
  investor, and they want to do that by getting the American
• 50:26
  investor into the Chinese market, into the Asian markets,
• 50:31
  into the European markets. They don't want the American
• 50:34
  investor to fall in love with the American market.
• 50:37
  That's, that's the, the veil, you know, that's them behind the
• 50:42
  veil there. You got to peel that back.
• 50:45
  Like Jesus said, you got to peel that veil back.
• 50:47
  You got to do away with, with this.
• 50:49
  These things of old. You have to look at America
• 50:52
  first. The S&P 500 finished up .40%,
• 50:58
  it's at $5912.17. The NASDAQ, that was up .39%,
• 51:11
  that sits at $19,175.87. Even the Russell, you're talking
• 51:20
  small midcap, that was up. Stocks are looking good.
• 51:28
  The VIX was down a little bit, but it's been holding steady and
• 51:31
  right where the VIX is at today is still better than where it
• 51:34
  started at the beginning of the month.
• 51:38
  So the economy is moving in the right direction, but there's
• 51:44
  going to be some some speed bumps and the judges provide the
• 51:48
  roadblocks right now. So we have to continue to stand
• 51:53
  firm and have faith. Now Florida is making waves not
• 52:01
  just in the Gulf of America, but Governor Ron DeSantis signs
• 52:06
  legislation making gold and silver acceptable as legal
• 52:09
  tender in Florida beginning on July 1st, 2026.
• 52:13
  Businesses accepting gold must be licensed to accept it if they
• 52:17
  so choose. Check cashers and money exchange
• 52:21
  services must accept it. The price of gold continues to
• 52:25
  rise and the price of silver has remained healthy for the last
• 52:29
  decade. Purchases of precious metals
• 52:33
  will become tax free. They're tax exempt.
• 52:37
  So you'll be buying precious metals.
• 52:38
  You're not paying any tax on that.
• 52:42
  This is such a huge win for Florida.
• 52:46
  I mean, I can't stress to you enough, but how gigantic of a
• 52:49
  victory this is for the state of Florida.
• 52:53
  You know, Utah wanted to do something like this and the
• 52:58
  legislature, you know, you know, kind of got a got in a little
• 53:04
  bit of a tizzy fit about it. And it's like, look, this is
• 53:07
  going to be better for the people.
• 53:09
  It's not something that the government should be getting in
• 53:15
  the way of. It's something the government
• 53:16
  should easily in the state, in the state legislature.
• 53:19
  That's just an easy win. Just give it to the people now,
• 53:23
  General Motors, they came in to support America because what
• 53:30
  they said was we're going to invest $888 million into our
• 53:35
  propulsion plant, the Tonawanda propulsion plant in Buffalo, NY
• 53:42
  in this Angel number investment will upgrade new machinery,
• 53:46
  equipment, tools and renovations.
• 53:50
  And if you don't believe one job will be created with an $888
• 53:56
  million investment, you're an absolute loser.
• 54:00
  I don't know what else to call you.
• 54:01
  You're a loser. If you don't think they're going
• 54:03
  to hire anybody after this type of upgrade and investment,
• 54:09
  they're not going to hire anybody new.
• 54:12
  They're the same people. Just keep the same just nobody
• 54:14
  new. You're you're so stupid.
• 54:16
  This will propel the jobs boon in Buffalo, NY, because it's not
• 54:21
  just them, it's the companies around them.
• 54:24
  It's where they go to eat lunch at, OK?
• 54:27
  It's where they go to buy food after work.
• 54:29
  That's where they go to shop at the dollar store.
• 54:31
  It's where I mean you, you've got to think it's about the
• 54:34
  micro economy around the business, OK?
• 54:39
  Not the macro, not what their job is, not the payment, not
• 54:43
  what they have in their hands, but around them.
• 54:49
  GM still believes in an all the electric future.
• 54:53
  And I contend and say that future is not now.
• 54:56
  I put that in my article. That's not now, that all the
• 54:59
  electric future, that's not today.
• 55:03
  Producing the fifth generation V8 engines will continue to be a
• 55:07
  priority as GM is preparing the next generation of engines,
• 55:12
  which I'm very excited to see. I'm very excited to see this
• 55:15
  next generation of engines. I'm very excited to see what
• 55:19
  General Motors is going to bring to all of the brands that are
• 55:23
  under their banner. But when they included that
• 55:29
  sentence, when they included that statement about all the
• 55:35
  electric be in the future and they they aren't paying
• 55:38
  attention to the ground level. That's the problem.
• 55:43
  That's the problem. They're not paying attention to
• 55:45
  the ground level. The future of cars is not all
• 55:50
  electric. Your tax credits for the cars,
• 55:53
  the electric cars are gone. Your the here's the biggest 1,
• 56:02
  the rebate system and the tax ones, that might be the biggest
• 56:05
  one, but I think the the bigger point, the bigger point is your
• 56:10
  charging stations. The funding for the charging
• 56:13
  stations is gone. So the charging stations that
• 56:18
  they're going to try to build are going to have to be done on
• 56:22
  a statewide level. And you're you're pretty much
• 56:26
  destined to fail if you leave it up to the states to power the
• 56:31
  country's infrastructure. That sounds like a disaster, you
• 56:36
  know, just debt, but you know, the states will jump on it.
• 56:41
  Oh, it's creating jobs. No, it's not.
• 56:44
  Not really. Not many jobs.
• 56:46
  Jobs that will go away very quickly and it those aren't
• 56:51
  honest jobs. Installing a little electric
• 56:54
  thing where people go charge their their overpriced car,
• 56:59
  that's not an honest job. No, it's not.
• 57:01
  Sorry to tell you that this is definitely not honest work.
• 57:05
  I know a lot of things that you could do that aren't honest
• 57:10
  work, but sound like aren't more genuine than that, literally.
• 57:16
  But the economy is going to be in a good place, you know what
• 57:19
  I'm saying? Because look, look at this.
• 57:21
  The New York Times here are the people that get up there and try
• 57:27
  to hate on the economy more than anybody else.
• 57:29
  I mean, they're the New York Times.
• 57:31
  And I guess the times in New York aren't doing too good
• 57:34
  because I mean, every day it's like the Sky's falling with
• 57:37
  these guys. But they said something really
• 57:40
  interesting here and I didn't know this was like happening.
• 57:47
  So the New York Times agrees to the first AI deal for any
• 57:52
  newspaper with Amazon. And remember, the New York Times
• 57:55
  is publicly traded Company 2. The New York Times has agreed to
• 58:02
  license its editorial content to Amazon, says the Financial
• 58:06
  Times. This marks the first time the
• 58:08
  news giant will allow its stores to train a tech companies
• 58:11
  artificial intelligence models. Now here's the thing.
• 58:13
  I'm going to give you a little bit of advice.
• 58:18
  I use my website. It's hosted on WordPress, my
• 58:21
  admin.com. WordPress is the host of that
• 58:24
  site. I turned off training artificial
• 58:31
  intelligence models. My website, my stories, my
• 58:36
  writing, in no way, shape or form belong in artificial
• 58:41
  intelligence or do I approve of them going artificial
• 58:44
  intelligence. And if artificial intelligence
• 58:46
  takes my stories, I'd sue the hell out of it.
• 58:48
  I would sue the hell out of it. It's not for them.
• 58:52
  And I've turned it off a long time ago as soon as I could, as
• 58:56
  soon as I knew that artificial intelligence models were going
• 59:00
  to be automatically opted into for WordPress users.
• 59:06
  So like if you have a website on WordPress, you were
• 59:08
  automatically opted in. So when I found that out, I
• 59:14
  instantly went in there and shut it down.
• 59:16
  I said, Nope, no thanks, we're not doing that over here.
• 59:20
  They're going to have to go get their information from somebody
• 59:22
  else. They're not going to copy my
• 59:24
  writing style because it's unique.
• 59:26
  And they're not going to take what I say and build on my catch
• 59:31
  words because I come up with a lot of times with my own
• 59:33
  catchphrases and my own catch words.
• 59:36
  And I I shot him down with that. So, yeah, I agree with the New
• 59:39
  York Times. Yeah, rightfully so.
• 59:41
  Because what they did was get themselves into a situation
• 59:44
  where now the deal allows the New York Times stories and
• 59:48
  cooking recipes to be used by Amazon products to train their
• 59:53
  proprietary AI models. The company did not give
• 59:56
  financial terms of the deal. And this is what you got to be
• 1:00:00
  careful of out there. You really have to pay attention
• 1:00:02
  to this stuff. The The New York Times is
• 1:00:05
  seeking billions of dollars in damages from the tech groups for
• 1:00:11
  allegedly using millions of their articles to build the
• 1:00:16
  models underlying Open AIS. ChatGPT.
• 1:00:21
  Oof. That's yeah, that's going to be
• 1:00:25
  a long legal battle with Open AI and Microsoft because they've
• 1:00:30
  been, you know, they've been sued by The New York Times for
• 1:00:33
  massive copyright infringement back in 2023.
• 1:00:36
  And this is still ongoing. Amazon's model really is just
• 1:00:42
  lagging behind, and that's the reason for this particular deal
• 1:00:49
  to get done and structured. But overall, I mean, you got to
• 1:00:52
  give them them credit over at The New York Times for figuring
• 1:00:56
  that out. I mean, that's that's pretty
• 1:01:00
  good. That's you got to give them
• 1:01:02
  credit for that one failing newspaper like Trump says or
• 1:01:05
  not. They are really good when it
• 1:01:08
  comes to the behind the scenes stuff like that.
• 1:01:11
  Now we'll look at another company who's also getting a
• 1:01:16
  deal done, but it's a little bit different the way they did it,
• 1:01:20
  Grammarly. So this is actually the company
• 1:01:23
  I used to help proofread my first book, Badge in the
• 1:01:28
  Shadows. And I also made sure that I'm
• 1:01:33
  not training AI models on there, but they didn't have that
• 1:01:35
  feature at the time. That's a new feature and I
• 1:01:39
  haven't used the proofreader since I've used the different
• 1:01:43
  proofreading system, but Grammarly was my original
• 1:01:47
  proofreading system. And I did like the updates or
• 1:01:50
  Grammarly, Grammarly I got for writing.
• 1:01:53
  But because of that training AI model stuff, I, you know, kind
• 1:01:56
  of didn't really want that running on my computer until I
• 1:01:59
  could get it all shut down the way I did on WordPress.
• 1:02:03
  But the good news for Grammarly, which I like, I'm not against
• 1:02:05
  them. Don't get me wrong.
• 1:02:06
  I really am a fan of Grammarly. I think they're great company.
• 1:02:09
  I think they bring a lot of power to authors who want to
• 1:02:14
  sell, publish. They really give them a little
• 1:02:16
  more confidence. They raise $1 billion from their
• 1:02:22
  good friend General Catalyst, and this fundraising effort
• 1:02:27
  could not be understated. This was huge.
• 1:02:31
  And good job by Crunchbase to write the better article here.
• 1:02:42
  I don't, you know, sometimes I don't feel like people
• 1:02:44
  appreciate some of these free articles online.
• 1:02:47
  And, you know, they get suckered into pain for so much.
• 1:02:51
  And, you know, you got to remember some of these people
• 1:02:55
  really take the time to write a really good art article It, you
• 1:03:01
  know, they deserve a chance for their article to be read.
• 1:03:07
  So, you know, I appreciate Mary Ann Acevedo for writing this.
• 1:03:13
  And, you know, like I said, you know, for all I know, she's a
• 1:03:18
  liberal. Doesn't matter if you write
• 1:03:20
  something good or do something good.
• 1:03:21
  I give you credit. AI writing and product
• 1:03:25
  productivity assistant Grammarly has secured $1 billion in
• 1:03:29
  funding from the longtime investor General Catalyst, the
• 1:03:33
  company announced on Thursday. The San Francisco based
• 1:03:37
  Grammarly says it has more than 40 million users and an annual
• 1:03:40
  revenue of more than $700 million.
• 1:03:43
  I don't know how they pulled that off.
• 1:03:46
  I don't know how they pulled it off.
• 1:03:47
  They're offering a free service. For the most part you have to
• 1:03:50
  pay for the extra little stuff, but for the most part it's a
• 1:03:52
  free service to really get done the the basic requirements of
• 1:04:00
  writing. Now the company wants to use
• 1:04:02
  this new capital, which came from General Catalyst customer
• 1:04:05
  value fund to scale the sales and marketing and for strategic
• 1:04:10
  acquisitions. So they're looking to do a
• 1:04:14
  little bit of a, what do you say a little bit of what do I, what
• 1:04:19
  do I call this? I call this spinning the wheel.
• 1:04:21
  This is a little little bit like spinning the wheel.
• 1:04:24
  So we're going to go ahead and just put some things up on the
• 1:04:27
  wheel. We're going to give it a good
• 1:04:28
  spin and whatever it lands on is where we'll put our money in.
• 1:04:31
  That's, that's their plan here. A little bit of a spin the
• 1:04:35
  wheel, you know, we'll, we'll put everything on the board.
• 1:04:37
  We'll give a couple spots bigger sizes, We'll give some spots
• 1:04:40
  smaller sizes. We're going to hit on something
• 1:04:45
  we need no matter what. That's why it's on the wheel.
• 1:04:50
  So there's a little bit of the spin the wheel strategy here,
• 1:04:53
  you know, that's what we're going to call it.
• 1:04:55
  See what I'm saying? I come up with my own stuff.
• 1:04:57
  AI dominates globally as well. Her Crunch base's global funding
• 1:05:02
  report. See, Crunchbase has stuff.
• 1:05:04
  People don't talk about Crunchbase.
• 1:05:06
  I like Crunchbase. You know, I was always like Tech
• 1:05:11
  Crunch. I was always going to some
• 1:05:16
  different tech sites and stuff, but crunch base is based.
• 1:05:24
  AI was the leading sector for venture funding in the first
• 1:05:27
  quarter, with 59.6 billion invested.
• 1:05:31
  The first quarter marked the strongest quarter for AI funding
• 1:05:34
  ever, with a staggering 53% of global funding going to the AI
• 1:05:39
  sector alone. United States has come out about
• 1:05:43
  an hour ago, and the Department of Defense says Taiwan arms
• 1:05:48
  sales exceeding Trump's first term.
• 1:05:52
  Now there's two different ways to look at that.
• 1:05:55
  One from the perspective that Taiwan is preparing themselves
• 1:06:03
  for some type of invasion, which I hope not.
• 1:06:08
  I hope that's not the case. But we know China will always be
• 1:06:10
  an aggressor in those waters around Taiwan.
• 1:06:14
  But the other part of that too is just this is support.
• 1:06:19
  This is an admission of support for the president saying that
• 1:06:23
  Taiwan supports President Trump and he believes President Trump
• 1:06:28
  will always defend Taiwan, meaning America will defend
• 1:06:32
  Taiwan if necessary. And right now through arms
• 1:06:37
  sales, it's going to help our country make some money and
• 1:06:42
  hopefully pay down on the debt. Brianna Morello, she breaks some
• 1:06:47
  pretty good news. She's very well spoken
• 1:06:49
  individual. And she says Austin police have
• 1:06:52
  arrested 4 suspects. And the brutal murder of
• 1:06:55
  Infowars reporter Jamie White. This poor guy, This poor guy,
• 1:07:00
  man, he, you know, here he is with Alex Jones.
• 1:07:04
  And I could see he's a of talent, a bright, a bright star
• 1:07:09
  coming up through the ranks. It's very hard to do.
• 1:07:12
  It's a very difficult field to be in and get any traction.
• 1:07:16
  And here he was and he's killed by 217 year olds, allegedly and
• 1:07:23
  two other 15 year old suspects, allegedly.
• 1:07:26
  They got the mug shots of the 217 year olds because legally
• 1:07:29
  they can be charged as adults. Most states it's, you have to be
• 1:07:35
  16 to be charged as an adult and it's a crime, would have to be
• 1:07:39
  murder or something along those lines for you to be charged as
• 1:07:42
  as an adult at 16. But usually at 17, they're going
• 1:07:45
  to, Yep, no doubt they're going to charge you as an adult
• 1:07:48
  because you're about to be 18. What we do know, folks, when you
• 1:07:56
  look at things like this, it's, it's difficult.
• 1:08:00
  It's difficult to see because we as a country are so much better
• 1:08:05
  than that. And, you know, at the end of the
• 1:08:10
  day, we have to do better for each other.
• 1:08:14
  You know, it's Streamwood, IL. You know, we all read this
• 1:08:18
  report. There's a helicopters up,
• 1:08:20
  there's police cars everywhere. There's probably the FBI will
• 1:08:24
  end up getting involved in that. Two people dead, Someone,
• 1:08:30
  someone's alleging it's a family member that killed them.
• 1:08:34
  We, we don't know the killers on the loose.
• 1:08:36
  They say not to approach them. I always will have faith in my
• 1:08:44
  country. I have faith in the police to do
• 1:08:47
  their job. I'm not going to sit up here and
• 1:08:50
  say I'm the biggest supporter of the cops.
• 1:08:53
  No, I'm not not a liar. I'm not going to be like I'm the
• 1:08:56
  biggest supporter of them. No, I'm not.
• 1:08:58
  I believe they should do their job and be able to go home like
• 1:09:00
  everybody else. But if you're looking for me to
• 1:09:03
  like like hang out with them or something or like be their best
• 1:09:07
  friends, I that's not happening. No thanks.
• 1:09:12
  You know, that's, that's not my end game in life.
• 1:09:15
  My end game in life is to be very independent, almost as
• 1:09:18
  independent as possible. To me, the police are the
• 1:09:21
  government and I want less government in my life.
• 1:09:23
  That's that's the big reason. It's really just the just the
• 1:09:27
  government is the thin line there.
• 1:09:29
  Just less government in my life, please.
• 1:09:33
  So I look at Costco, they topped earnings and revenue estimates
• 1:09:39
  of sales jump 8%, but the shares still went down and that's
• 1:09:44
  because of tariffs. The tariffs are scaring people
• 1:09:46
  away from investing at Costco. But Costco was doing so many
• 1:09:50
  things under Trump. One point O that made them a
• 1:09:54
  viable company for the future. And then under Biden, it seemed
• 1:09:58
  like they regressed. It seemed like with, with COVID
• 1:10:02
  and then Biden, Costco regressed and now they're looking to pump
• 1:10:07
  up the volume. So that's my take on Costco.
• 1:10:11
  Not to step too far away from the economy, but the Defense
• 1:10:14
  Ministry confirmed that Israel's government, their cabinet,
• 1:10:18
  approved 22 new West Bank settlements through the Gaza
• 1:10:23
  Strip where they want to resettle the area.
• 1:10:26
  And they've also accepted the agreement from the envoy with
• 1:10:32
  Witkoff, who from the United States is trying to broker this
• 1:10:36
  peace agreement from the Trump administration.
• 1:10:39
  And Israel signed on to that. They want a 60 day ceasefire to
• 1:10:42
  exchange hostages, to try to push for a permanent peace and
• 1:10:49
  to give them time to negotiate a permanent peace.
• 1:10:51
  But the problem with the ceasefires is that they don't
• 1:10:54
  seem to hold up. The ceasefire seem to fail us.
• 1:10:59
  But what I will tell you, I mean what I what I can see is that
• 1:11:05
  there's definitely been a shift in this last two weeks.
• 1:11:09
  It went from people being outright condemning Israel to
• 1:11:16
  now Israel saying, look, we want peace.
• 1:11:20
  We are signing the ceasefire. It's signed.
• 1:11:23
  We've taken out the leader of Hezbollah.
• 1:11:26
  We've taken out their top commanders.
• 1:11:29
  We're ready to sign the peace and move on.
• 1:11:32
  We have bigger fish to fry. They still have the hoodies
• 1:11:35
  firing at them. I don't know how that's
• 1:11:38
  happening, but they still have the hoodies firing at them.
• 1:11:41
  And now we're waiting to see for some reason what Hamas says
• 1:11:44
  about this, which they took over the food in the system there.
• 1:11:51
  And that's the reason those people died in that tragic
• 1:11:54
  accident that happened when the people stormed and rushed the
• 1:11:57
  little food tents. That's a that's blood on Hamas's
• 1:12:01
  hands that they're trying to paint the picture.
• 1:12:02
  If it's Israel's fault, no, Israel has a right to defend
• 1:12:07
  their sovereign nation, which includes Gaza.
• 1:12:10
  And because some people believe that Gaza is theirs, they want
• 1:12:15
  us to divide each other over it. I'm not going to divide myself
• 1:12:18
  over this. I'm very clear in my stance of
• 1:12:20
  my belief. I support Israel and I want
• 1:12:24
  peace. I don't want anybody being
• 1:12:28
  killed. So Hamas needs to step up, sign
• 1:12:31
  this ceasefire, and we can move on with our lives.
• 1:12:33
  But to be sitting around blaming Israel is not the way to go
• 1:12:40
  about it at all. That's not the way to go about
• 1:12:43
  it. Israel's not at fault here.
• 1:12:45
  Israel has not blown up anything in Iran yet.
• 1:12:49
  They're fighting a defensive war where they have to push out of
• 1:12:54
  the mud. They cannot be backed up against
• 1:12:57
  their walls. They have to push out.
• 1:13:00
  They have to fan out because what's going to happen is the
• 1:13:02
  moment they walk away, Hamas will dig in the trenches and
• 1:13:08
  begin their assault on Israel again.
• 1:13:11
  That can't happen. And Iran, the government of
• 1:13:15
  Iran, they don't want anything good for Israel.
• 1:13:20
  And I'm not going to get up here and say Israel wants good for
• 1:13:23
  the government of Iran. No, but there needs to be a
• 1:13:26
  consensus about the people. The people in Iran are not bad
• 1:13:29
  people. That's wrong.
• 1:13:31
  That's a misconception. That's stigmatism and labeling.
• 1:13:36
  Do your homework. These people would love to have
• 1:13:39
  different leadership. They look at what President
• 1:13:41
  Trump is doing and they're in awe.
• 1:13:45
  They see how we rally behind President Trump and that makes
• 1:13:48
  them want to rally behind their leader as well.
• 1:13:51
  But it's not the same. They can never get the same
• 1:13:54
  things we get. They can never live the free
• 1:13:57
  life that we live. They can never say no the way we
• 1:14:01
  say no. Think of that.
• 1:14:04
  Think about the power of no Judge Judy one time.
• 1:14:07
  So what happened to people just saying no?
• 1:14:11
  I that was powerful. What happened to people just
• 1:14:13
  saying no? No, it's always I got to appease
• 1:14:17
  you. It's always I got to appeal to
• 1:14:19
  somebody. My favorite answer in the world
• 1:14:22
  is no, not maybe not yes. My favorite answer is no,
• 1:14:27
  because no stops more problems than anything else.
• 1:14:32
  One response, no. That's going to stop more
• 1:14:35
  problems than anything else. A simple no can't.
• 1:14:39
  It won't stop everything, but it's going to stop more problems
• 1:14:41
  from starting than anything else will.
• 1:14:43
  A simple no. Now, you know, I want to hit you
• 1:14:48
  with some health news, but I don't hide anything from you.
• 1:14:54
  I love to talk about the good news, but I don't hide anything
• 1:14:57
  from you. Turkey is looking to find
• 1:15:02
  airline passengers who stand up before the plane stops.
• 1:15:05
  Now, I think that's the only way they could actually stop it, if
• 1:15:10
  they can stop it, because yes, that causes a problem.
• 1:15:13
  Why are you all jumping up on the plane when we're not even
• 1:15:16
  stopped? You know, it doesn't make any
• 1:15:21
  sense. I think that people really need
• 1:15:26
  to, you know, stay buckled in until the till the plane stops,
• 1:15:30
  not just for you, but for the people around you.
• 1:15:33
  They want to make it home safe. You know what I mean?
• 1:15:35
  Think about other people a little bit.
• 1:15:36
  They want to make it home safe too, man.
• 1:15:39
  That they're not against you. They're just trying to get to
• 1:15:41
  where they're trying to get to, brother, You know, that's it.
• 1:15:45
  It's not like it's got to be a fight like we see on these
• 1:15:48
  airplanes all the time or people Wilding out and going crazy, got
• 1:15:51
  no home training. You could solve that very
• 1:15:53
  quickly. Any airport can ban you from
• 1:15:57
  ever entering their airport. It's the same way Walmart could
• 1:16:01
  ban somebody from ever entering Walmart.
• 1:16:04
  They have the power to do that. It's a private airport.
• 1:16:08
  Now, when people go in there and they do something they shouldn't
• 1:16:13
  do and then they want to claim to be a victim, that's a totally
• 1:16:17
  different story. That's going to have to play out
• 1:16:19
  in the courts. But what I know for a fact is
• 1:16:22
  that an airport can ban you and they don't need a reason to ban
• 1:16:26
  you. It's their airport.
• 1:16:28
  If they find some type of instance or circumstance or they
• 1:16:32
  feel like you're going to be a problem, it's a private airport.
• 1:16:35
  They can ban you. But to say, you know, it's come
• 1:16:42
  to that where they got to fine people because they won't stay
• 1:16:46
  seated, that's a little bit off to me.
• 1:16:50
  You know what I mean? Because I could imagine being on
• 1:16:52
  a plane and the people standing up around me and we're not,
• 1:16:55
  we're not landing yet. Or the people that are trying to
• 1:17:00
  cut people to grab their bags and their stuff so they can get
• 1:17:03
  out in front of everybody. You know, those types.
• 1:17:05
  I would love that. But CVS, like I said, I'm not
• 1:17:09
  hiding anything from you. CVS announced it will be closing
• 1:17:12
  271 stores. This follows the closure of
• 1:17:16
  around 900 locations between 2022 and 2024.
• 1:17:23
  As you can see, CVS has expanded their options.
• 1:17:27
  This is as far as they can really go right now.
• 1:17:31
  But for health, I really have a groundbreaking story.
• 1:17:35
  And you know me, I'm pro recreational marijuana, pro
• 1:17:40
  medicinal marijuana. Again, I don't, I don't need the
• 1:17:44
  government nanny state over me telling me if I, if, if we, it's
• 1:17:48
  going to work for my for me or not.
• 1:17:50
  You know what I mean? If weed's going to work for my
• 1:17:52
  life, you know what I mean? I don't, I don't care what the
• 1:17:55
  government has to say about it. Like I'm like, I trust what
• 1:17:58
  they're telling me about it. But we do have a study and I
• 1:18:01
  would like to get to that study with you because I know all of
• 1:18:04
  you out there aren't like me. Maybe some of you are a little
• 1:18:06
  more anti weed and you'll like this study.
• 1:18:09
  The weed haters will love this one.
• 1:18:11
  So they say Association of endothelial dysfunction.
• 1:18:18
  At first I thought they were talking about something else
• 1:18:20
  with chronic marijuana smoking and THC edible use.
• 1:18:23
  I was about to quit weed right there if it was what I was
• 1:18:25
  thinking it was. Is chronic cannabis use
• 1:18:28
  associated with endolithiol dysfunction?
• 1:18:32
  What they found was in a study of 55 participants, the vascular
• 1:18:38
  endolithiol function was impaired in both chronic
• 1:18:42
  marijuana smokers and tetrahydro cannabidiol THC edible users.
• 1:18:48
  You know, they had to cut, they hadn't, they had to really tell
• 1:18:51
  you that. Whereas serum for marijuana
• 1:18:54
  smokers but not THC edible users blunted nitric oxide production
• 1:18:59
  and cultured endothelial cells. This means endothelial
• 1:19:06
  dysfunction was observed and otherwise healthy cannabis
• 1:19:09
  users, suggesting an increased risk of early development of
• 1:19:14
  vascular disease. So the objective is to
• 1:19:19
  investigate whether cannabis is associated with vascular
• 1:19:24
  endolitheal dysfunction. Now these were people who were
• 1:19:30
  18 to 50 years old living in the San Francisco Bay Area,
• 1:19:34
  California, who do not smoke tobacco or FAPE and were not
• 1:19:39
  frequently exposed to second hand smoke were recruited into 3
• 1:19:44
  cohorts. So 2 chronic cannabis user
• 1:19:47
  groups, marijuana smokers and tetrahydro cannabidiol, THC
• 1:19:52
  edible users and one non user group.
• 1:19:55
  And participants were recruited from October 25th, 2001 through
• 1:20:00
  August 1st, 2024. The final analysis was done by
• 1:20:05
  September 2024. So we have a very good sample
• 1:20:10
  size, something very interesting to look at for the future.
• 1:20:14
  And what it, what does it tell you?
• 1:20:17
  Slow down potheads, slow down weed heads.
• 1:20:22
  Like I tell Joe all the time I say, you know what I think of
• 1:20:24
  Canada. And they're all getting ready to
• 1:20:27
  go on the job site. You know, we'll talk Canada.
• 1:20:31
  I'm always thinking like, well, how does that work in the
• 1:20:34
  morning? You know, in America, we have a
• 1:20:36
  safety meeting, you know, for we go on the factory floor before
• 1:20:40
  you start work on the construction site, you're
• 1:20:43
  supposed to have a safety meeting.
• 1:20:44
  We're talking about safety. Every safety should be in
• 1:20:46
  everybody's mind. Remember what they said, a
• 1:20:49
  Pineapple Express? James Franco said it.
• 1:20:51
  James. James Franco nailed it.
• 1:20:53
  He said, look, safety first, then teamwork.
• 1:20:55
  Boom, that's it. Safety 1st and teamwork.
• 1:20:59
  Well, all of a sudden, no one wants to be safe.
• 1:21:04
  No one cares about safety. We throw it all to the wind.
• 1:21:07
  And now I'm thinking in Canada. Well, how does this work?
• 1:21:10
  I'm thinking they're just, you know, in the little safety
• 1:21:12
  office. This time for a safety dab.
• 1:21:15
  Oh, yeah. Light the torch up.
• 1:21:17
  Come on, blow it down. Blow it down, eh?
• 1:21:21
  We're blowing it down, eh? Yeah.
• 1:21:24
  Go ahead. You know, fly out to Gelf.
• 1:21:28
  You know, they're sitting on the hood of hood of cars out there
• 1:21:30
  smoking bongs. Oh, yeah, I want to go over to
• 1:21:34
  Manitoba right now. They got so much smoke in the
• 1:21:37
  air from the wildfires. Can't no one put anything in the
• 1:21:40
  peace pipe? Yeah, Canada's got some things
• 1:21:44
  going on now. We got the wildfire smoke
• 1:21:46
  rolling across the Great Plains. Well, isn't that just nice?
• 1:21:49
  Thanks, Canada. Oh, you guys are sovereign
• 1:21:53
  country. No, you guys are.
• 1:21:54
  Smoky City is what you guys are. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:21:59
  You guys are Smoky City up there.
• 1:22:03
  You're telling us you're trying to RIP on President Trump.
• 1:22:06
  Aren't you guys smoking all the pot?
• 1:22:09
  Don't wander. You know, I don't think every
• 1:22:12
  Canadian smoking the Dojo. But I mean, if you're not, are
• 1:22:18
  you really a Canadian? You ain't smoking that Dojo.
• 1:22:22
  Are you a Canadian at all, dude? No, you might be one of those
• 1:22:26
  French Canadians. Speaking of them, the Quebec
• 1:22:31
  IANS that I call them over there, they they seen King
• 1:22:35
  Charles show up out of the blue, never gave him a call, never
• 1:22:40
  wrote him a letter and he just shows up and tells, yeah, you
• 1:22:43
  guys are sovereign country, but listen to me, your sovereign
• 1:22:47
  country until I, you know, unless you know, I'm here.
• 1:22:51
  Well, Quebec said we're cutting all ties with them.
• 1:22:53
  We don't want any part of the Crown.
• 1:22:55
  We're cutting all political ties.
• 1:22:57
  They signed off on it. They wrote a whole thing out,
• 1:23:00
  posted it up for all to see, like the 10 Commandments.
• 1:23:03
  They don't want anything to do with old Prince freaking Charles
• 1:23:08
  over there. It's tidied Kingdom.
• 1:23:09
  They don't want anything to do with them.
• 1:23:11
  They signed off on it. You know what I mean?
• 1:23:13
  I don't know. I don't think it went the way
• 1:23:15
  they thought it would. But let's switch gears.
• 1:23:18
  Let's jump into sports. I'm ready for some sports.
• 1:23:23
  You know, what was so funny was this Pablo Torre guy filled out
• 1:23:29
  a FOIA request to get public records on the University of
• 1:23:34
  North Carolina, and he wanted to see how did Bill Belichick get
• 1:23:42
  involved with the university? Where's the money at this
• 1:23:46
  university going? He started going down a rabbit
• 1:23:52
  hole and they have until tomorrow to respond to his FOIA
• 1:23:59
  request, the Freedom of Information Act.
• 1:24:03
  And the university continues to drag its feet on satisfying
• 1:24:08
  these requests. And he said he's willing to sue
• 1:24:11
  if he has to get these. There is just a level of turmoil
• 1:24:18
  surrounding this institution. I mean, we know that, you know,
• 1:24:23
  older successful man, sometimes, you know, date way younger than
• 1:24:29
  they should. And I say that in the nicest way
• 1:24:31
  possible because I try to like, again, I'm not trying to be a
• 1:24:34
  nanny. I'm not trying to tell you what
• 1:24:35
  to do. But look, man, if the guy looks,
• 1:24:39
  if the, if the chick looks younger than your daughter, you,
• 1:24:43
  you have a problem. I mean, if you could, you know,
• 1:24:47
  let's say you're 60-70 years old and you're like going to like
• 1:24:55
  the bottom 20s to try to pick a chick.
• 1:25:00
  It just screams to me that something's wrong.
• 1:25:03
  So when I see this Bill Belichick situation play out,
• 1:25:06
  it's not even about anything. I don't care if she was the most
• 1:25:10
  proper professional chick in the world.
• 1:25:14
  It screams that something's not right.
• 1:25:17
  And you know, I've seen this with NFL owners.
• 1:25:21
  I've seen this with politicians. I've seen this with movie stars.
• 1:25:26
  Dane Cook is a great example. Some something's up when you
• 1:25:32
  can't find a woman around your age.
• 1:25:35
  There's something going on there.
• 1:25:37
  And I and I'm always going to be a firm believer in that.
• 1:25:41
  This is not the 1950s, you know, this is 2025 and the the times
• 1:25:50
  have changed, folks. If you can't find somebody
• 1:25:53
  around your age, that's not a problem with other people,
• 1:25:58
  that's a problem with you. Especially if you're looking
• 1:26:02
  like he was, something's up here.
• 1:26:05
  I don't like it, especially we're dealing with all these
• 1:26:07
  problems in our country. You know, this is this is so
• 1:26:11
  weird to put in front of this college, but he's going after,
• 1:26:16
  where is this money going? And he said he's broken several
• 1:26:21
  stories around Belichick in the football program, his partner,
• 1:26:24
  Jordan Hudson. And he says he's exposed the
• 1:26:28
  extent of her involvement in the personal and professional life,
• 1:26:32
  including the Ring camera video from their New England vacation
• 1:26:38
  in 2023, as well as the university's response to all of
• 1:26:43
  it. And he wants to know where the
• 1:26:49
  money at this university is going.
• 1:26:52
  And it, it told them these are public record requests.
• 1:26:57
  It's, it's, it's not something that should be vague or
• 1:26:59
  ambiguous. It's not like, show me your
• 1:27:01
  emails. It's all stuff that's in the
• 1:27:04
  public record. He's like, you know, we're
• 1:27:08
  looking for transparency so that we can tell what is the public
• 1:27:13
  money going towards. And it's just standard operating
• 1:27:17
  procedure. So I expect him to follow
• 1:27:21
  through on it. And that's a slam dunk in court.
• 1:27:24
  You'll get the FOIA request granted without a doubt.
• 1:27:28
  So Yep, they're dragging their feet because there's something
• 1:27:30
  there that they don't like. That's why they're dragging
• 1:27:34
  their feet. There's some there's some
• 1:27:36
  information in there that when it hits the press, which is
• 1:27:40
  what's going to happen, we're going to see this story take a
• 1:27:45
  drastic turn with Bill Belichick and his girlfriend.
• 1:27:48
  That's like robbing the cradle, dude.
• 1:27:51
  You know, I can't, I can't get behind that at all.
• 1:27:54
  And I think it's just so weird. You know, you're supposed to be
• 1:27:57
  college coach. You're in front of young men
• 1:28:00
  trying to make them into men, trying to help them advance in
• 1:28:03
  life. And here you are, you know, with
• 1:28:06
  a chick that looks like one of the cheerleaders, dude.
• 1:28:10
  I mean, you know, if you can't assess that and say, yeah, you
• 1:28:16
  know what, that's yeah, you're right.
• 1:28:18
  You know, this is just not the right place to do it.
• 1:28:20
  If you're going to do that, then go live your life and retire,
• 1:28:23
  you know? But you're you're parading her
• 1:28:26
  around. And it's in the news because of
• 1:28:30
  you parading her around. And I don't know if this all
• 1:28:34
  stemmed from the Robert Kraft investigation at the masseuse
• 1:28:40
  parlor. And everybody kind of forgot
• 1:28:42
  about that. I don't know if that's where it
• 1:28:44
  stemmed from. I don't know.
• 1:28:47
  But I know it's not good. We know the New York Knicks
• 1:28:51
  defeated the Indiana Pacers 111 to 94 in game five of the
• 1:28:55
  Eastern Conference Finals. There's going to be a Game 6.
• 1:29:01
  The Pacers have their chance to close out the series at home.
• 1:29:05
  That's what they want to do. And, you know, it kind of looked
• 1:29:09
  like the Knicks had their last two raw.
• 1:29:12
  Now they got to go back on the road and play in Indiana.
• 1:29:15
  You know, Indiana and the Pacers are the best on their court
• 1:29:19
  right now. They're so fast.
• 1:29:21
  They put up too many points for the Knicks to keep up with in a
• 1:29:26
  full on game. It's just it's just it can't it,
• 1:29:29
  it just won't work for the Knicks.
• 1:29:32
  And I could see them, you know, like they've done.
• 1:29:34
  They've won two games. They showed up to played well.
• 1:29:37
  They had heart. They didn't get routed, but it
• 1:29:40
  comes to an end in that next game.
• 1:29:43
  And you know, when you looked at the Timberwolves and you watch
• 1:29:47
  them fall the way they fell and you seen Oklahoma City and you
• 1:29:53
  knew Oklahoma City was just ripe.
• 1:29:55
  They were ready to win. They probably more than likely
• 1:30:00
  will win the whole thing. If Indiana gets to the finals,
• 1:30:07
  like I believe they will, I believe it's going to be Indiana
• 1:30:10
  versus Oklahoma City. If that is the finals, that's a
• 1:30:14
  great NBA Finals. But you have to watch up for
• 1:30:17
  Indiana because when they're at home, they play a different type
• 1:30:20
  of basketball. They play their brand.
• 1:30:23
  And you know, again, I see them going on the road and they'll
• 1:30:26
  they'll lose in Oklahoma City. You know, they'll have to win
• 1:30:30
  one game there. But other than that, they won't
• 1:30:32
  win in Oklahoma City. They'll have to win every game
• 1:30:35
  at home and then they'll have to win one in Oklahoma City.
• 1:30:39
  And the Knicks wouldn't stand a chance against Oklahoma City
• 1:30:42
  Thunder. That's that's the problem with
• 1:30:44
  the Knicks. They wouldn't stand a chance.
• 1:30:47
  They would get 4 O. That's a, that's a four O sweep.
• 1:30:51
  They don't have the deaf. Oklahoma City Thunder have the
• 1:30:54
  deaf. They got some of the best scores
• 1:30:57
  for the honestly, they are the quickest team on the court.
• 1:31:00
  Oklahoma City is the only thing the Pacers can get them at is a
• 1:31:04
  little bit of length, a little bit of reach, a little bit of
• 1:31:06
  range is where Indiana can kind of size them up a little bit
• 1:31:11
  better than the New York Knicks squad could.
• 1:31:15
  But we have WWENXT, which happened on Tuesday.
• 1:31:19
  I'd like to talk to you about that because we know that
• 1:31:25
  Smackdown's coming on tonight, Friday night Smackdown.
• 1:31:29
  We all love that. But how about getting Smackdown
• 1:31:33
  on Netflix? How about making that move?
• 1:31:37
  Well, let's get let's let's start to push it all towards
• 1:31:40
  that one place. Now I get it.
• 1:31:42
  They got to do what they got to do finish U the contract and all
• 1:31:44
  that good stuff. Great, great, great, great.
• 1:31:47
  So proud of you for finishing out that contract.
• 1:31:51
  Well, let's let's start to get that mentality here where it's
• 1:31:54
  like, can we get this all in one location guys, because we've got
• 1:31:57
  smack down on the USA network. I mean, I don't know.
• 1:32:03
  Good luck. NXT, the one The CW makes it
• 1:32:07
  easy. I will say that there's nothing
• 1:32:10
  wrong with being on the CWI think that's kind of a good
• 1:32:13
  network for wrestling to be on. Ethan Page defeats Ricky Saints
• 1:32:18
  to win the NXT North American Championship.
• 1:32:21
  Don't like it, don't like it. I respect it, but I don't like
• 1:32:27
  it. I think Ricky, I think it's
• 1:32:28
  Ricky Saints as the guy that needs to be over right now.
• 1:32:33
  But that's just me being stern. If I was being fair, the match
• 1:32:37
  itself was amazing. But if I'm talking about the
• 1:32:41
  politics of it, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:32:43
  I think Ricky Saints needs to be the guy that's holding the belt.
• 1:32:46
  I think, I think you're you're making a mistake giving the belt
• 1:32:50
  to Ethan Page. But that's OK because the crowd
• 1:32:52
  does really respond well to Ethan Page.
• 1:32:56
  They could know something about maybe the character where the
• 1:33:01
  character's about to go and you know, we're going to develop it
• 1:33:06
  that way. But as a rider, I always look at
• 1:33:09
  things through a rider's perspective.
• 1:33:11
  I mean, you have a great opportunity here.
• 1:33:13
  Both these guys are are are sellers, man.
• 1:33:16
  They sell and eat the page sold Ricky Saints sold very rare to
• 1:33:23
  two guys. Both sell this well anymore in a
• 1:33:27
  match. And not to take anything away
• 1:33:29
  from anybody, but I mean, you're talking about WWENXT smaller
• 1:33:32
  audience, you know, on The CW, and these guys are selling their
• 1:33:37
  asses off really good. Then you had Mike Santana
• 1:33:41
  defeating Tavion Heights and Mike Santana came to NXT from
• 1:33:48
  TNA to prove a point as he defeated Tavion Heights in a
• 1:33:51
  singles match. You know, Tavion Heights, he's
• 1:33:56
  really good. He's very skilled, super
• 1:34:00
  competitive. What I will say the most I like
• 1:34:04
  about him is that he's not scared to test the waters on the
• 1:34:08
  ropes for a little bit of a bigger wrestler, you know, not
• 1:34:13
  like a super tiny wrestler, cruiserweight type of figure.
• 1:34:16
  He's a little bit bigger and he's very tough and I like the
• 1:34:21
  toughness in a wrestler. You're in a business where it is
• 1:34:26
  predetermined to a certain extent, but it's not fake.
• 1:34:29
  Nothing about wrestling, it's fake.
• 1:34:31
  It may be predetermined. They may have some, you know,
• 1:34:35
  something on the side going on. I don't know any of the details
• 1:34:38
  of that. I'm not interested.
• 1:34:39
  All's I know is that when they go out there and they put on a
• 1:34:42
  show, that's what I tuned in for.
• 1:34:46
  I didn't TuneIn for the politics.
• 1:34:48
  I appreciate someone who's very skilled on the microphone.
• 1:34:51
  Like, you know, we could talk about MJMJF all day.
• 1:34:55
  When you want to talk about someone who's skilled on the
• 1:34:57
  microphone, hell, Paul Heyman, I mean, there's guys that are
• 1:35:02
  skilled on the microphone without a doubt.
• 1:35:04
  You're not going to get over on them.
• 1:35:06
  They're going to school you. But you got two guys here who
• 1:35:12
  aren't really working the microphone.
• 1:35:14
  You know, Tavion Heights, I've heard him speak a little bit.
• 1:35:17
  Mike Santana, I've heard him speak a little bit, but they're
• 1:35:20
  not working the microphone. They're letting their work speak
• 1:35:22
  for themselves and I like that. Let people see you more in the
• 1:35:26
  ring than see you on the microphone.
• 1:35:27
  Until we really know who you are.
• 1:35:30
  However, you do got to cut a hard promo.
• 1:35:34
  You have to be, you know, I know people don't think it matters.
• 1:35:39
  Know it matters. It's going to matter because
• 1:35:41
  what we know well what social media is going to push like they
• 1:35:45
  pushed the Joe Hendrick guy, you know what I mean?
• 1:35:48
  They pushed his ass all the way to WrestleMania.
• 1:35:50
  Here he is up against Randy Orton.
• 1:35:54
  Dude, you got a match and WrestleMania, but gets Randy
• 1:35:57
  Orton. We all know you from a a song.
• 1:36:00
  We all know you from a clap, clap.
• 1:36:03
  Oh Johandra, you know, like that's what we know you from.
• 1:36:08
  So it's like the microphone is a big part of it working the
• 1:36:14
  microphone's a big part of it. Cody Rhodes is not Cody Rhodes.
• 1:36:17
  If he doesn't get on the microphone, it's hump boy.
• 1:36:19
  Say something, you know, But we all also want to see what you
• 1:36:25
  have in the ring. We want to see the grit, the
• 1:36:27
  True Grit. Now Santana appeared again
• 1:36:32
  later. He got what he wanted, but he
• 1:36:36
  recognized he could get more than what he bargained for.
• 1:36:42
  And I think that intrigued Santana a lot in this situation.
• 1:36:47
  What he said was Mr. Trick Williams, I want to challenge
• 1:36:54
  you to a TNA world title match. And I thought that was pretty
• 1:36:59
  cool. Let's see it, You know, the Jada
• 1:37:04
  Parker was up against Tatum Paxley.
• 1:37:08
  Jada Parker rising in the ranks, Tatum Paxley rising in the ranks
• 1:37:14
  in the women's division. Paxley has the, you know,
• 1:37:19
  unorthodox in ring essentials. And Jada Parker has been given
• 1:37:27
  the green light to Carter. Just have fun.
• 1:37:34
  And she's making these matches entertaining.
• 1:37:39
  Thea Hall, she runs down to the ring after.
• 1:37:41
  So Jada, you know, doesn't end up getting the best of Tatum
• 1:37:45
  Paxley here, putting her on a Commission for too long.
• 1:37:48
  Sometimes you need that. You need someone to run down
• 1:37:50
  there and, you know, throw you throw down some cover for you.
• 1:37:56
  So then we have Jasper Troy versus Dante Chen.
• 1:37:59
  Now, you may not know too much about these guys and you won't
• 1:38:03
  maybe know too much about the WWE EVOLVE.
• 1:38:06
  I'm going to talk about that next.
• 1:38:07
  I'm not going to skip WWE EVOLVE.
• 1:38:09
  I actually watched it before I came on the air and started
• 1:38:11
  doing the show. But Jazz per Troy, Dante Chen,
• 1:38:16
  two guys getting a great opportunity here.
• 1:38:19
  You're going to showcase your skills to not only the WWE
• 1:38:23
  Universe, but the best wrestlers that have ever done it are
• 1:38:27
  watching you. They're getting to see who you
• 1:38:29
  are. I mean, that's pretty special.
• 1:38:32
  So the LFG Season 1 winner Jazz Per Troy, made history by
• 1:38:38
  getting a massive victory and the dominant victory really over
• 1:38:42
  Dante Chen. The Black Hole Slam gave Troy
• 1:38:47
  the win, and NXT Champion Obafemi confronted Troy after
• 1:38:57
  last week's sneak attack and told him to mind his business.
• 1:39:02
  So you're seeing where the push is coming from.
• 1:39:05
  You know, they're going to want to push Jasper Troy, they're
• 1:39:09
  going to want to get him over and that's what it's going to
• 1:39:12
  come to. Oba Femi was a lot like Jazz
• 1:39:20
  Patroy in the sense of where he started from and where where
• 1:39:23
  he's at now is what probably they're hoping a lot for Jazz
• 1:39:26
  Patrol. In my opinion.
• 1:39:29
  Ray Phoenix and AAA's Laredo Kidd are in NXT to compete with
• 1:39:34
  Ethan Page, so you could see how this started to unravel.
• 1:39:40
  They give Ethan Page the belt. Now you get people to step up.
• 1:39:45
  They got to, they got to challenge your, you know,
• 1:39:48
  presence. They can't let you get
• 1:39:50
  comfortable. So this was devil's done.
• 1:39:53
  Well, then the main event, we had JC Jane up against Stephanie
• 1:39:58
  Vacker and of course, JC Jane won.
• 1:40:04
  JC Jane is charismatic. She has the energy.
• 1:40:13
  She has the looks, she has it all.
• 1:40:15
  She's a complete package. And Stephanie Baker, you have to
• 1:40:20
  give her a lot of credit. You're stepping in here.
• 1:40:24
  You know what this looks like. You know, the crowd is behind
• 1:40:28
  Jaycee Jane and we see that the best in the women's division for
• 1:40:39
  NXT. We're all hovering around this
• 1:40:42
  match. Fallon Henley jumped on the
• 1:40:45
  apron. La Primera, Jasmine Nicks, Lola
• 1:40:50
  Vice. I mean, they were hovering
• 1:40:53
  around this match. You know, at some point it all
• 1:40:57
  just for Stephanie Vacore to put on a once in a lifetime
• 1:41:02
  performance, you know, and get crushed by a rolling forearm for
• 1:41:11
  JC Jane. And then 123, that's it.
• 1:41:15
  And they stormed the ring and they're celebrating with JC
• 1:41:18
  Jane. What a time.
• 1:41:21
  I mean, the crowd was on their feet.
• 1:41:22
  You you have to give them credit at NXT from the first match to
• 1:41:26
  the last match, it was a banger on the show was great.
• 1:41:30
  That was a good NXT. So I want to get into WWE EVOLVE
• 1:41:33
  because that was Wednesday, you know, went through Tuesday, went
• 1:41:36
  through Wednesday. It's going to be Friday, it is
• 1:41:38
  Friday and we'll be able to watch Smackdown tonight.
• 1:41:41
  You have UFC tomorrow. That'll be interesting.
• 1:41:43
  I'll put some picks up. I have all the precise picks up
• 1:41:46
  on my man.com on Saturday if I feel like it.
• 1:41:50
  I'll do a podcast for it if I'm up for it if I'm not having fun
• 1:41:55
  like I should be. Let's start with the first match
• 1:42:00
  from WWE Evolved and I love watching WWE Evolved on Tubi.
• 1:42:06
  You can catch up with WWE Evolved there 13 episodes you
• 1:42:11
  can easily catch up with. That first match was a
• 1:42:16
  qualification match for the WWE Evolved Championship.
• 1:42:20
  It was a triple threat match between Jackson Drake, Lynn
• 1:42:25
  Sterado and Jordan Oasis. This match was very competitive.
• 1:42:31
  This was a banger. Again, a lot like NXT.
• 1:42:34
  The format is the first match is a banger.
• 1:42:37
  It is getting the crowd involved on their feet, clapping,
• 1:42:40
  cheering, hooting and hollering and someone is selling
• 1:42:45
  somewhere. Well, Jackson Drake ends up
• 1:42:47
  defeating Lynn Sterado and Jordan Oasis.
• 1:42:50
  He is over and he is going to qualify for the match for the
• 1:42:56
  WWE Evolved Championship. Now.
• 1:42:58
  That was big. It was very huge because of the
• 1:43:00
  match itself being so incredibly interesting.
• 1:43:06
  Then we have the high rise, which is a combination of Tyrik
• 1:43:12
  Igwe and Tyson DuPont who are up against Jack Cartwheel and
• 1:43:17
  Cappuccino Jones. One of my favorite names in
• 1:43:19
  wrestling is Cappuccino Jones. But they came out on the losing
• 1:43:25
  end. Like bad coffee, like a bad
• 1:43:28
  batch. The high rise defeats Jack
• 1:43:33
  Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones in a stunning failure for this
• 1:43:39
  team of Jack Cartwheel and Cappuccino Jones.
• 1:43:42
  Might be time to break it up. Might be time to break the team
• 1:43:45
  up. Cappuccino Jones Think it's
• 1:43:48
  time. I think it's time to show what
• 1:43:51
  you got on the solo circuit, the WWE Evolved Women's
• 1:43:56
  Championship. The third match here final match
• 1:44:00
  was a fatal four way elimination match.
• 1:44:04
  Now last week Kylie Ray pulled off a huge win.
• 1:44:12
  This week, after we had the big promo last week from Kaylee
• 1:44:17
  Armstrong, she takes down Wendy Chu, Kendall Gray, and Kylie Ray
• 1:44:24
  to win the new title. She's the first WWE Evolved
• 1:44:28
  Women's Champion. Wow, that is pretty special.
• 1:44:35
  This was done so well. Since WWE Evolved launched,
• 1:44:40
  they've been building up the character of Kylie Ray of Wendy
• 1:44:44
  Chu, and they've been given Kendall Gray plenty of camera
• 1:44:50
  time. But Kelly Armstrong just shows
• 1:44:53
  up and they allow her to win the championship.
• 1:44:58
  She beats 3 known women who have wrestled on different levels and
• 1:45:04
  are consummate professionals, and for Kelly Armstrong to win
• 1:45:09
  right here proved a point. A point was proven with this
• 1:45:15
  victory that she is a force to be reckoned with.
• 1:45:18
  She is the Bianca Bel Air of WWE Evolved.
• 1:45:22
  That's the best way to describe her.
• 1:45:23
  I think that's a very fairway to describe her because Bianca Bel
• 1:45:28
  Air is a beast when it comes to WWE and they don't have that Ria
• 1:45:35
  Ripley figure on WWE Evolved. They don't have that, you know,
• 1:45:40
  very strong woman like Raquel Rodriguez.
• 1:45:44
  They don't have that, you know, they have a lot of, you know,
• 1:45:47
  Roxannes and they have a lot of different talents like that that
• 1:45:50
  are really good. You know, a lot of some some
• 1:45:53
  wrestlers are a little bit of copycats, but it's not to take
• 1:45:57
  anything away from them. It's just because they haven't
• 1:45:59
  grown into a gimmick that they really suits them and what
• 1:46:04
  they're good at. And sometimes you have to take a
• 1:46:06
  gimmick that you're not good at or you're not comfortable with
• 1:46:09
  until you get that gimmick that you're good with and then you
• 1:46:11
  make that you you make that your identity.
• 1:46:14
  So I think that's what's happening here.
• 1:46:16
  Kelly Armstrong's going to get a chance to make this
• 1:46:19
  championship, being a champion, her identity on this new brand.
• 1:46:24
  And I, I think that's pretty special.
• 1:46:27
  I, I don't know, I thought it was pretty special.
• 1:46:29
  And you know, one thing that was very interesting was I've heard
• 1:46:33
  the AW guys getting up and, and, and they're complaining and
• 1:46:36
  they're groaning and every single one of them has told Tony
• 1:46:41
  Kahn that the pay per We got too many matches.
• 1:46:46
  We need to shorten this up, like the WWE, four matches, you know,
• 1:46:50
  maybe 5. And they each have significance.
• 1:46:55
  They each go along with a storyline.
• 1:46:58
  There's something behind that match for those people that are
• 1:47:01
  in that match where it lasts for a long time and people can like
• 1:47:08
  Stew on it, you know, and they could like go back and reflect
• 1:47:11
  on it and be like, wow, what a great match that was.
• 1:47:14
  Like we used to do a Summer Slam 97, you know, so things like
• 1:47:18
  that. So I have some parting shots,
• 1:47:21
  kind of some takeaways before I wrap up the show, this big,
• 1:47:25
  beautiful show. And let's talk about South Korea
• 1:47:30
  really quickly. South Korea will elect a new
• 1:47:33
  president on June 3rd to replace Yunsuk Sale, who was removed
• 1:47:38
  from office for placing the country under martial law for
• 1:47:41
  six hours in December. The winner will be tasked with
• 1:47:46
  managing the political and economic fallout of Yoon's move,
• 1:47:51
  which plunged the country in deep turmoil and divided
• 1:47:54
  opinions. The snap election is being held
• 1:47:58
  as South Korea faces an unpredictable ally in President
• 1:48:04
  Donald Trump, says the BBC, and that will shape long running
• 1:48:09
  challenges such as the threat from North Korea and sales
• 1:48:12
  frosty relationship with China. And what this boils down to,
• 1:48:18
  folks, is, well, who is the next South Korean president going to
• 1:48:25
  be? What it looks like is a
• 1:48:31
  gentleman named Lee Jay Mayong, the main opposition Democratic
• 1:48:36
  Party as the front runner among six candidates.
• 1:48:40
  What happened here was he lost by a razor thin margin in 2022
• 1:48:47
  when the election took place. The people that support this
• 1:48:52
  gentleman Lee, call him a working class hero.
• 1:48:56
  He worked in a factory before he became a human rights lawyer and
• 1:49:00
  a politician. And he's promising to establish
• 1:49:04
  a real Republic of Korea with jobs in a fair society.
• 1:49:08
  Very, very tall talk, a lot of tall talk, which I'm not a fan
• 1:49:14
  of tall talk at all. I believe tall talk is reserved
• 1:49:18
  for people who are proven. But you have a right to your
• 1:49:26
  opinions, your beliefs, just as I do.
• 1:49:30
  And that's what's beautiful about our country is we can
• 1:49:33
  agree to disagree. And that's what I love about
• 1:49:35
  America. It's one of the biggest things I
• 1:49:37
  love is that we can agree to disagree.
• 1:49:39
  Look, I can feel right. You can feel right, but neither
• 1:49:43
  of us really have to push the issue.
• 1:49:45
  Really. We don't really don't.
• 1:49:49
  Marco Rubio's doing the right thing by aggressively revoking
• 1:49:54
  visas. And like I tell you today, every
• 1:49:58
  day we wait for Trump to do something and wait to see how
• 1:50:01
  many judges are going to jump in front of it.
• 1:50:05
  That's where our country is right now as I wind down the
• 1:50:08
  show today. But one thing I do know is that
• 1:50:11
  appeals court that stepped in did the right thing by allowing
• 1:50:14
  the tariffs to stay, by allowing the tariffs to remain.
• 1:50:19
  That was a very good, very good decision.
• 1:50:23
  And I know that this is a very difficult topic for people
• 1:50:30
  because they really want to see Trump do well in most cases.
• 1:50:35
  But we have a large section of our population that really
• 1:50:41
  doesn't want to see America do well.
• 1:50:42
  And that that bothers me a lot. We know the Trump administration
• 1:50:49
  has targeted a Brazilian judge for censorship.
• 1:50:54
  Illinois has passed a law that would permit assisted suicide.
• 1:51:06
  They've also passed a law that gives tuition free university
• 1:51:10
  and schooling to all the legals. And I expect President Trump and
• 1:51:16
  the Department of Justice to continue their investigations
• 1:51:19
  into Illinois for as long as President Trump is in office.
• 1:51:23
  And even after that, depending on what they find, I don't see
• 1:51:28
  those investigations into Illinois stopping anytime soon.
• 1:51:34
  We know that the Department of Energy dished out over 90
• 1:51:40
  billion in grants and different types of backing on projects
• 1:51:50
  from the point of when Biden and Kamala couldn't figure out a
• 1:51:56
  plan to win the election up until the point of when
• 1:51:58
  President Trump stepped in. And right when he stepped in,
• 1:52:02
  those deals stopped. And now it's up the Department
• 1:52:06
  of Energy to go through those deals and refer to the criminals
• 1:52:12
  to the Department of Justice. The wheels of justice do move.
• 1:52:17
  They just don't move as fast as we like them.
• 1:52:21
  President Trump did me with Jerome Powell.
• 1:52:23
  I told him Jerome Powell, Mr. Chairman of the Fed, you're
• 1:52:26
  making a mistake on rates. Our country needs the rate cuts.
• 1:52:31
  We should have been had the rate cuts.
• 1:52:34
  Some people say if you cut the rates, that actually makes the
• 1:52:37
  interest rates go up. I don't know where they got that
• 1:52:39
  from. I guess we could just say
• 1:52:42
  anything, why not? We need the rates cut.
• 1:52:48
  We don't need the rates going up.
• 1:52:50
  You raise the rates, well then they definitely everything goes
• 1:52:53
  up. Everything that's attached to
• 1:52:54
  the rates go up, need to cut the interest rates.
• 1:52:58
  But again, it will not make as much of a difference as some
• 1:53:04
  people think or they're making it out to be.
• 1:53:06
  Really won't. It really won't change much.
• 1:53:11
  Cutting the little point, cutting some decimals.
• 1:53:18
  It's it's not going to change much.
• 1:53:20
  What has to change is the American attitude towards all
• 1:53:25
  these things. We have to get in touch with
• 1:53:29
  Congress, our congressmen and women, our members that are our
• 1:53:33
  constituents. They represent us and we need to
• 1:53:36
  let them know how we feel respectfully and legally.
• 1:53:40
  This will help our country get involved in the movements of
• 1:53:43
  grassroots petitions. One investigation that was just
• 1:53:47
  launched comes from the Department of Justice, which
• 1:53:52
  filed A lawsuit against a small Idaho town of Troy, ID, alleging
• 1:54:00
  that they are being biased and discriminating against a
• 1:54:05
  evangelical church, saying they are not allowing this church to
• 1:54:08
  hold worship services in Troy's business district.
• 1:54:13
  And this lawsuit is based on religious freedom concerns.
• 1:54:18
  Folks, I keep telling you we have this issue and even the
• 1:54:22
  smallest towns in our country. So it's really good the Justice
• 1:54:25
  Department jumped on top of that.
• 1:54:27
  Let's go through with it and send a message that religious
• 1:54:33
  freedom cannot be marginalized the way they want it to be. the
• 1:54:40
  US Department of Labor paused Job Corps center operations.
• 1:54:45
  Little bit of a rebellion going on in there.
• 1:54:48
  That's why they had to pause it, which is interesting to me.
• 1:54:52
  That was very interesting to me. I mean, Job Corps is not
• 1:54:55
  something that was easy to get into.
• 1:54:58
  Actually. You had to kind of know somebody
• 1:55:01
  or get a reference to get involved in Job Corps or you
• 1:55:04
  really had to be, you know, doing something they felt like
• 1:55:08
  was really going to benefit the country because otherwise they
• 1:55:11
  weren't bothering with you. Andrew and Trish and Tate will
• 1:55:15
  return to the UK to face charges, 21 charges they're up
• 1:55:18
  against. And, you know, these are the
• 1:55:20
  same guys that we'll say whatever they want and we'll
• 1:55:24
  claim to be alpha men, but they'll be the first ones to
• 1:55:26
  turn around and try to sue you for saying something online.
• 1:55:30
  You know, they, I mean, what is that?
• 1:55:32
  Let's be real. I don't know any alpha males
• 1:55:36
  that are running around with lawyers claiming lawsuit,
• 1:55:41
  lawsuit, lawsuit because people say things you don't care about.
• 1:55:43
  I I don't know any alpha males like that.
• 1:55:48
  Very interesting. Very interesting.
• 1:55:51
  Jim Ross calls out a WS ego driven backstage environment.
• 1:55:55
  Yeah, I think so. I think it's a little bit of an
• 1:55:58
  ego back there. I think Tony Cobbs a bold and a
• 1:56:01
  lot of the wrong people. And you know, Chris Jericho was
• 1:56:06
  supposed to be one of the main ones to kind of be the
• 1:56:09
  ringleader back there, you know. So what happened to that?
• 1:56:12
  He's he's got one of the biggest mouse in the world.
• 1:56:15
  I mean, if he can't get it under control, then, well, I think you
• 1:56:19
  see where that's going. And one thing I understand is
• 1:56:24
  that right now the White House is investigating someone who's
• 1:56:27
  impersonating as Stephen Miller. Now, how's that happening?
• 1:56:32
  Somebody is trying to impersonate the White House
• 1:56:35
  chief of staff. Now, if someone is impersonating
• 1:56:42
  him, that should be pretty easy to figure out.
• 1:56:46
  You know what I mean? That shouldn't be a very lengthy
• 1:56:50
  investigation. You would just follow the
• 1:56:54
  breadcrumb trail. You know what I mean?
• 1:56:56
  I, I don't know about that one. I think they should figure that
• 1:56:58
  one out pretty quick. We should know something on that
• 1:57:00
  tomorrow. CRISPR Therapeutics and Clover
• 1:57:04
  Health are among the healthcare stocks that join the Russell
• 1:57:09
  3000. How about that?
• 1:57:11
  I told you, stay on the lookout for CRISPR Therapeutics when
• 1:57:14
  you're doing your homework. Include them in your homework
• 1:57:17
  because that CRISPR Therapeutics, I'm a big fan of
• 1:57:20
  those guys. Now, there was some news that
• 1:57:23
  came out sadly, that a sunken boat found nine months after a
• 1:57:27
  family has gone missing has turned up with human remains.
• 1:57:32
  They believe they are this Maynard family.
• 1:57:34
  So God bless them. Prayers to the family and the
• 1:57:37
  loved ones. The Maha report that came out,
• 1:57:42
  they said they're, you know, they're trying to attack the
• 1:57:44
  report. As soon as it came out, they
• 1:57:45
  knew that would happen. Let me tell you what RFK did.
• 1:57:48
  He's very good. What he did was he put out the
• 1:57:52
  report, someone made some changes and and messed some
• 1:57:56
  things up on it. So it came out with some
• 1:57:58
  clerical issues. So they're addressing those.
• 1:58:01
  Caroline Leavitt, White House press secretary, got right on
• 1:58:04
  top of that. She's is awesome.
• 1:58:06
  She's absolutely awesome. She is a fire starter.
• 1:58:10
  She is kick ass and she doesn't take any crap from anybody.
• 1:58:14
  And I love it. I love it.
• 1:58:17
  It's awesome. But RFK says, you know what?
• 1:58:22
  You guys want to play hardball with me.
• 1:58:25
  I'll play hardball with you guys.
• 1:58:27
  You put out a report that said I'm going to tell you exactly
• 1:58:30
  what to say here. The report states that 300 and
• 1:58:35
  thousand children went missing during the Biden administration.
• 1:58:42
  Now under Trump, 5000 have been reunited with their families.
• 1:58:49
  Yeah, you heard me right, 5000 have been reunited with their
• 1:58:52
  families under Trump and more to come.
• 1:58:56
  But what a shame for the Democrats to act like they care
• 1:59:00
  about family values and they've turned a blind eye to this is
• 1:59:04
  what RFK said. Said it's the Democrats that
• 1:59:07
  turn a blind eye to this, Joe, for coming up missing.
• 1:59:10
  The Democrats turned a blind eye to it.
• 1:59:13
  Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.
• 1:59:18
  Bar chart came out and said that U.S. banks are now sitting on
• 1:59:22
  $413 billion in unrealized losses.
• 1:59:29
  Folks, by August we have to pay our bills and if not incoming
• 1:59:35
  recession. But the good news is the
• 1:59:37
  government bureaucracy will be whittled down to nothing.
• 1:59:42
  So that is definitely an upside for us.
• 1:59:44
  Absolutely a huge upside. Ladies and gentlemen, just like
• 1:59:49
  the hands of dime. I'm turning it over to you.
• 1:59:52
  Good night and God bless. Psalm 37.
• 1:59:54
  Four KJV.
