EP: 73 We Control the Strait… So Why Doesn’t Anything Else Add Up? · The Sense and Senseless Podcast

• Bryan: Let's roll it again. I guess it's two for Tuesday here on the Sense and Senseless Podcast. Welcome back to the Sense and Senseless Podcast. I'm Brian. He's Jason: I'm Jason. Bryan: Jason. Jason's a little bit under the weather, but so bear with him. He might seem a little grumpy, but he's okay. It's your first time joining us. Welcome to the family. We're just two guys discussing shit in a way that everyone can understand. by the way, Matty said, You Russian whore. Jason: Russian whore. Bryan: So what we're gonna talk about tonight. First, who actually controls the street now? Trump says we do. So is this the turning point? Or just the U.S. Navy babysitting oil because nothing else is working? Will the Iranians rise up and take their country back? A foreign central bank stepping back from US bonds. How about countries pulling gold out of US banks? And we'll also talk about does the weather really affect your mood? We have a lot to talk about tonight. Please stick with us. Like, share, follow, and subscribe. We appreciate any every single one of you. Jason. Got Jason: Roll Bryan: anything? All right. Before we got on, I was just reading, and there's a few headlines I read. Said President Trump called the war with Iran small potatoes and defended his vice president who said Thursday it shouldn't be called a war. Vance is quoted as saying, a lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict. Trump has also stated he may order strikes on Iran's pickaxe mountain very soon. This site is reported to host nuclear facilities in Iran. Also read the U.S. the Treasury Department issues new sanctions on Turkish bank alleging Iranian ties. So I guess that's part of Scott Bessant's sanctions on anyone that supports Iran. But earlier. That made me remember this. I read a short article about Putin declaring support for Iran. He stated publicly that Russia is back in Iran, supplying goods and intelligence to Iran. will they get more sanctions, like Turkish people, Turkish Bank. Think they're gonna sanction Iran now? Us. Jason: I thought we were already sanctioning Iran. Bryan: Me, I'm sorry, Russia. I think we're gonna sanction Russia some more. We got sanctions on Russia too, but Garden Bessett, anybody who's helped Siran. Jason: Dropping the hammer. Bryan: Dropping a hammer. Jason: Cutting you off. Bryan: That'd be interesting. See what they do with Russia and what they're saying. But we're gonna start Jason: believe it. Bryan: we're gonna start off with who controls the strait of Halmous. Jason: Moose. Bryan: Hamoose. Here's Trump talking about how we control the street. I think I missed that the first time I heard that. Did he say that they would take out a couple of our cities before we went their way? Jason: Yeah. That's what it sounded like. Bryan: Basically from what I found Jason: How do you have an airplane at the bottom of a runway? Bryan: Yeah, I heard that mo that l last couple of times I I was like I I'm not even gonna call him out on that. Maybe he just you know, Jason: Anyways, just being better prepared. But go ahead. What are we talking about? The the Strait of Moose and Trump saying almost. Bryan: I think that's how you say it. Since it's like from over there. Moose. Jason: Yeah. Poof. Pooh. And spit on that thing. Bryan: Roll it. Jason: So what was he what was he talking about two s or a couple cities having to get taken out? Yeah, Bryan: I don't know, you want me to play that again? Jason: play that again. Bryan: Cause I caught that too. This is the first time I caught that. Jason: We never do dissect videos much on here, but let's do this. Mm-hmm. Many. Okay. Bryan: He did say that though. He Jason: He said they were doing very well, except all that other crap that's happened to but they're doing very well. Bryan: Yeah, I think that's I like the tongue in cheek portion of Trump. I just do. You know. Is is do it should he have a little more attack? Yeah, but I I I kinda like that. I always like that about Trump. I d Jason: No, he's funny. It makes me laugh or whatever because he is a smart alley. Bryan: I I don't like that he concedes that yeah, they might you know, they'll take out Israel and they'll take out the Middle East and he'll take out Europe and he, you know, might hit a couple of our cities. It's like w what Jason: A couple of our cities before we take out, yeah. Bryan: if if they and I'm assuming that this is all in succession, but if they take out Israel and where and then in middle yeah. Jason: we gonna sit there and wait for to take a couple of cities out? Bryan: I mean okay. I don't know. But for basically from what I've found though, we right now we have might have more control of the Strait of Hormuz than we had at any other time previously during this war. Now, this comes with the use of our Navy and military escorts, but maybe we're turning the corner. Maybe that's what we're showing. Jason: But are we? Bryan: I don't know. I don't know. Jason: You think if we just pulled out of there and wasn't escorting these ships or whatever that Bryan: No, I agree that it needs to flow without military intervention. I I agree with that. Jason: It does. We need to f yeah, we just need to figure this out and get this stuff back. Bryan: But they're saying that Jason: Everybody calm the hell down, just calm down. Bryan: Yeah, I've heard reports that they were getting like seventeen or twenty million barrels out a day now. Jason: They ain't Bryan: Here's Fox News with the update earlier this week on Escort Noil. Fox. Jason: Fox News. Bryan: we have a lot of people in play over there to keep that all coming out of there. Jason: Why don't we ever see video on it? Bryan: I don't even know if any of this shit's real anymore. We don't see video on any of it. Now they did show some video of the strikes they had this week. Very limited video, but they did show some of it. But I didn't see any video of like vessels moving in and out of the Strait of Hormoose. You would think they would have something over there. They would have a flock camera over there watching the boats going in and out the Strait of Hormuz so we can see it. Out of all the flock cameras. Yeah. Jason: Yeah. Yeah, no shit. They got flocked cameras on us. Why can't we put over there? Bryan: Let's put some flock cameras over there so we can see what the fuck's going on. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: Well, this week we traded fire back and forth with Iran, so we back to the tit for tat. Not really sure what damage we got from either side. Stories are conflicting depending on the source. As of yesterday, it looks like the official count of US casualties remained low. It is reported that we have eighteen confirmed US deaths and around five hundred to seven hundred and sixty wounded since the war started. I got that number five hundred to seven hundred and sixty wounded since the war started. I'm like, they can't get that any closer. You know, count of casualties of two hundred and sixty. Jason: Yeah, there it's in the ballpark, Brian. It's you know, we got like from five hundred to three thousand people wounded. We're not real Bryan: Yeah. I Jason: sure. Bryan: I d I didn't get that one, but that that's the numbers we pulled. There Jason: Right. Bryan: there isn't a verified number for Iran, but it is estimated that roughly four to seven thousand people were killed in Iran, with around a thousand of this these people being civilians and roughly twenty six thousand people were wounded so far in Iran. Now I would assume that this is or can be a deterrent for the Iranian people to not support the war. Just assuming based on what it would look like here, and from what we hear out of the White House, it has been mentioned many, many, many, many times that tens of thousands of protesters were killed in Iran prior to the war starting. In February this year, Harana, the US based human rights activist news agency. Reported that 6,488 protesters, 236 children, 76 other civilians, and 207 security or or government officials were killed in Iran during the protests that started on December 28, 2025. And this was reported on February 23rd, 2026. At the time there were eleven thousand more cases under review. So is this a real deterrent, not the protest? That's it's a lot of people to die. Jason: Yeah, no kidding. I mean, damn. Bryan: I mean, it's not the tens of thousands that we keep hearing about. It could be, but supposedly this is the official, unofficial report. It's still it's a lot of people that died in the protest. Jason: But that so the report that's not from us reporting that, that's from them over there reporting that. Bryan: That's from a it's called it's H R A N A Harana. It's the US Jason: Horana. Yeah. Bryan: based human rights activist new age news agency. That's what we're getting. Jason: So you don't know if that shit's legit or not. I mean, I'm just being honest. I mean, we're Bryan: No, but if Jason: I feel like we're getting better like that Al Jazeera, man, I'm gonna get burnt up on this. That's fine. We get we get bad comments anyways. I don't care. Comments or comments. Thank you for commenting, by the way. But anyways, we get we get more legit that that sounds believable and backed up by pictures and All that stuff from the Al Jazeer stuff that you post on here than we do Fox News and every anything else. Like CNN isn't even posting any news, right? Bryan: I I agree with it's like we don't have or don't want to know what's going on over Jason: Yeah. I mean I see Bryan: I don't think they want us to know what's going on over. Jason: No, and that's bullshit. We have a right to know. Bryan: You don't have a right to know anything. Do you not know that? Jason: Bull bullshit. You find you stop it. Bryan: So they killed seven thousand seven protesters from what was reported. And Trump this week asks, when the people of Iran are gonna rise up against their government. Here's old Peter Ducey asking Trump about his post. What he said, fifty six, sixty five, nine hundred and fifty thousand, the million, Jason: Yeah, all kinds of numbers. Yeah. Yeah. Billions. Bryan: billions, b billions. Jason: Yeah. So are we gonna go over there and arm them people? Bryan: That's what they were talking about and I can't say they were talking about that's what the the rumors were prior to the war of, you know, them arming the people to the protest so they can take their own country over basically another coup. Jason: Right. Well, we armed in Bryan: No. But that got snuffed up. Jason: Well we didn't we arm Iran during the V or what what was it? I Iran yeah, it was Vietnam, wasn't it? Bryan: I don't know if we are we we had Iran and well not we didn't have Iran, but the West Jason: No, what was it Iran versus Iraq or something like I forget. We armed somebody. Bryan: We had I we armed Iraq against Iran. Jason: Okay. And then there was I thought we were giving like some ground to air missiles, like shoulder fired Bryan: I don't know. Jason: missiles to some country for something, and then all of a sudden they shot one of our planes down with it. It's like I that's my big thing, man, is going over and arming somebody and then they turn it around on us, right? Now they've got the ability to turn those weapons around back at us, like we're depleting Bryan: Well what? Jason: their military, Brian, but we're gonna go over there and Build it back up. Bryan: I don't think they would arm the civilians with shoulder fire rockets. I think you would mean Jason: No, I'm talking like just weapons. Yes. Bryan: Yeah, machine guns or stuff like that, more than like Jason: What a what I always say, countries are gonna have a hard time coming over here and attacking us conventionally because we've got a lot of armed citizens. You're not just gonna fight our military, you're gonna fight Joe Smo down the block that's got enough ammo to damn take out a small city. And and a lot more people like that dude, right? So if we go and arm this country, the civilians, to fight back their government, who's to say that that's not just a I'm just I know I I need to throw my Timfo on. It ain't even in here anymore. I don't know where the hell it is, but who's to say we're not funding or arming a country back and they can just turn around if we had to go in there with boots on ground, we got to deal with that. You see what I'm saying? Bryan: yeah, use our own weapons against us. It wouldn't be the first time in history that it happened. Jason: Yes. Yeah. Bryan: You were talking about coming on our turf basically and and fighting us and how they wouldn't do it. Do you think that's why they're trying to soften up the West Coast so much? Jason: I don't know. Bryan: Make them so liberal and so accepting that way they just accept the enemy coming on the shores and come on in Jason: Yeah, come on in. Come on in. Bryan: I don't know. I know it's a little far fetched, but I don't know. It's possible. So we Jason: They'll be playing over loudspeakers' creeds with open arms. Bryan: That's right. We discussed before how the people of Iran are reported to be struggling, and I'm I'm sure that's the case. You know, they they have been under sanctions for decades, and I'm sure what is going over there and going on over there now has to be hurt it's hurting the people. You know, it it has those people hurting. I I don't think otherwise. Are they hurting enough to rise up against their own government right now? I don't know. You know I'm getting that. Jason: Did you see the video I sent you? Bryan: No. What was it? Jason: That Iranian dude over there, he's posting videos showing gas prices. It's it's like ten cents a gallon. Bryan: Well see, I seen a video from a guy like that last week, and that's why I talked about Jason: And he's in the grocery store and nothing's gone up, dude. Eggs, all that stuff is cheap. I meant cheap. Bryan: Well, that's what I'm talking about. I you you see that, and is that just more propaganda? Because what I found was yes, those things are still cheap. Those some of that stuff is still subsidized by the government of Iran. So they Jason: Okay. Bryan: might be suppressing the cost there. I d I don't know. But seeing everybody shopping is just like I was talking about seeing everybody shopping here. I seen a video like what you're talking about, so I started looking and trying to find more information. And it says it not I I Played all the inflation numbers for you of what I found. That doesn't mean that those people aren't hurting. I don't know about how they control the price of food and and fuel. I did read that it is subsidized by the government. So maybe that is a way to keep it down. And I heard earlier this week that Iran is stating that they have enough money saved or however they got their money to get them through March, even if they didn't bring anything else in. So they are setting themselves up. you know, for a longer way to go. I d I I don't know. Again, we don't know any we don't know what's going on. Jason: Okay, so why can't we subs why is our gas so damn expensive and beef's out the roof and all that? Why can't we subsidize? I don't Bryan: w well we'll talk about how we subsidizing that here shortly. Jason: All right. Bryan: We subsidizing it. It's just not the same way, but we're gonna subsidize Jason: Okay. Yeah. I can't tell you last time I had a steak. Bryan: Yeah, me neither. But I don't really eat steak, but it's it's high. Jason: now you're gonna get called out about that when I put that on a short. That you don't eat steak 'cause you're some liberal. Bryan: Well, it's not that I don't eat steak. It don't matter. I'm not a liberal. I just don't I'm just not a big steak eater. You know why I really think it is? It's because I couldn't afford steak when I was younger. So my taste buds grew to the taste of a fucking chicken. Jason: Jiggin. Bryan: And I like chicken. I really like chicken. I eat a lot of fucking chicken. That's just what I eat. I to each their own. I'm not picking at nobody that don't eat that, you know, don't eat a lot of chicken. It what the fuck does it matter if I don't eat steak? You know, it's kinda like a guy once told me, he said, Man, you need to get a Harley. I'm like, why? I said Harley make you a man. I said, I'm already a man. I don't need a fucking Harley to make me a man. I don't need to project myself eating a fucking steak to know that I'm a man or to make myself feel better. I just never have. And some people feel that way, that that I've reached a certain point to where I can afford to eat steak. I never felt that way. And some people feel like that's an epitome of you, man, we went out and had a good steak tonight. It just doesn't thrill me. It just never did. Now, a good fish or something like that, I'm good with that. But steak was just never the thing. So if anybody had questions, that's why I don't give a fuck if you like it or not. This is the way it is. Steak. So see, when steak went up, I didn't get depressed. Jason: I know. You like F all them steak eaters. Yeah, you get what you get. Bryan: No, I actually looked at last week, I think in Sam's it was and I was like, that shit's fucking high. And then we looked at the the higher cut steak. I'm Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: like, fuck the cheap steak. Good Lord. Jason: Out there trying to grill a chuck roast. Chu roast is bad too. I mean, it's almost as high as the good steak. It's like, damn, that's the Yeah. Holly had a roast Bryan: See? If you get Jason: this week, but I wasn't here and I don't do roast anyways, but be like Bryan: You don't like roast? Jennifer cooks a good roast. Well, what if you took chicken Jason: I'm not big on it. Bryan: and just put a bunch of what is it? That that brown serving sauce or whatever the hell it comes in a little bottle. It's a little brown browning sauce. Put some browning sauce on your chicken, it'll turn your chicken brown, and you can act like it's a steak. You can use steak seasoning on your brown chicken and call it a steak. It'd be like back on What you call it, good times when they'd eat the wish Jason: You need to hit that pan again, dude. Bryan: whenever they had the wish soup, Jason: Yeah. Bryan: you know, and you just sit there and wish there was meat in it. You know, same thing with the steak. The wish soup. Same Jason: It's just the w the the wish soup. Bryan: shit with the steak. Just wish it was a fucking steak and go on your Jason: Well Bryan: merry way. Jason: yeah. I can't even remember that that that that children's Bryan: I'll never forget that episode. Jason: story or whatever, but stone soup, stone soup. That dude showed up to this town back it like it was back in like the old old days, like in in I don't know what time period, but it was a story we heard as kids. And he showed up with two stones in his pocket and he was starving, so he got a pot. And put water in it and told everybody they were magic stones, but you had to have other stuff to go with it and it would make this awesome soup. So we got the butcher to donate a chicken and the farmer to donate some beef and and ever and everybody to donate a little bit of everything and he put it together and made it and everybody gotta eat. You see what I'm saying? He talked basically it just talked about how the community came together and put all the resources together to make this soup. Bryan: Over a lot. Jason: Over a lie like that dude got fed for free with nothing but two damn rocks in his pocket. Bryan: But if he had went there and asked everybody to do that, they would all shout him. No. They would all starve to death. Well it's sad, Jason: They wouldn't have done it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Bryan: man. Ain't no shit no different today. Jason: Yeah, they were teaching us that that as kids. It's like, yeah, that's Bryan: I I guess it makes sense in a when you're thinking of it in n normal terms, you know, on how to get something, but when you're thinking about on a bigger level, it's like, I don't know. the protest prior to this war, was this an organic protest or was this some kind of color revolution that we had started? in p Deuce is already saying Hey, are we gonna send the CIA over there with guns to arm them to rise up? Did we try to do some of that prior to the war or was that organic? You know, I d I don't know. I mean, could the Israel put some of their people inside of there and get some of them people riled up? I mean, I we believe that's what happened. Not even gonna say Israel, but we believe that people infiltrated some of our peaceful protests and cause started riots here in our own country. I mean, so it's Jason: dude, yeah. Yeah, that the Antifa stuff and all the big Bryan: Yeah. Jason: riots that were going on, yeah, yeah. Bryan: So I'd assume they'd do the same thing. I mean, that's probably where they perfected their art was overseas. So I would assume that they would eventually reach their breaking point, the people of Iran, if there are against this war, and push back against the government if that is their problem. I just don't know when. However, as we showed earlier, doing so could be deadly. Therefore, I would imagine that the stakes would have to be high, Jason: Is that working guilt? Bryan: yeah, for this to happen. unless we arm No, and then people can rise up and y you you gotta have a leg up before you do something like that. And you definitely can't do it if you're starving and weak already. Jason: I don't know. Cause I don't know what we would do if that happened over here. Bryan: I don't know. I think over here and it probably already happened and it's such a slow boil that we don't even realize it and Jason: Would you get involved with it? Bryan: Like what, throwing overthrowing the government? Jason: A protest. Bryan: For what though? If if if we had a war in our country and I and we were starving and I didn't, you know, back the war and I would, yeah, try to get people together to now would it work? Probably not. You you're not gonna get enough people together to do something like that. I don't I don't think, unless enough people get uncomfortable, you know. But it's hard to sit here in this chair in the air conditioned and say, You need to go out there and take over your country. I don't know what those people are going through. You know. Jason: Yeah. I just wish I and we'll never we'll never get the full truth about nothing. Bryan: No. I not I don't know. Jason: It just man, this this just don't this don't pass a smell test, does it? Bryan: None of it does. None of it does. Jason: I mean no video, no you don't see crap over there. I mean dude, you had live coverage over in Iraq and Afghanistan and shit. Bryan: I still can't believe whenever they had the CNN or whatever right there when CO team was coming up on the beach. Jason: yeah, dude. Bryan: that was just awful. I that right there, Jason: Yeah. Bryan: I I just lost all my respect for media at that point. It's like that was just awful. Jason: Dude, if I was that SEAL team, I'd have took their asses out, man. My bad. I thought it was Al Jazeera news. Bryan: Yeah, that and now you can't see anything. And people can get mad about this because we we we always talk about Trump. Trump is the president right now. If when shit goes wrong, he's the head. So when shit Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: goes wrong, he's that fa I'm sorry, it's just the way it was. When when Biden was the president and shit went wrong, it was Biden's fault. Now people can't ex accept that, you know, we blame Trump for for a lot of this stuff. Jason: yeah. Don't even get me on the comments we get for some of the stuff we talk. I mean, we're just talking about what's happening. Bryan: And this is supposed to be the most transparent president ever. And we Jason: Yes. Bryan: d we don't even know what's going on in this this war conflict excursion, three day affair. Jason: Well, not not to get off subject, but I saw a TikTok today that and it's not AI generated, so people get you know, just well just just cause you got Bryan: Y'all know. Y'all mo. Jason: on TikTok, but it was JD Vance at the podium and that chick from CNN that always goes after Trump. Can't Bryan: Caitlin Collins. Jason: yeah, she went after him saying that w the airman that was shot down and died over in Iran. Bryan: I d I don't know anything about that. Jason: yeah, well his why or his family's not getting the benefits that they were supposed to get because we won't call it a war, we're calling it an operation. Bryan: Well, maybe that's why he made the comment that I read earlier. I don't know. You remember Jason: So Bryan: I Jason: he told Caitlin to get me, he said, you you get us the the n the contact of the family and we'll make sure they're supposed to get what they're supposed to get. But he he wouldn't call to war. He said, you know, well, this is an operation and we we don't like losing anybody in it, but we'll make sure that his family gets what the full benefits that they're supposed to get. Bryan: Again, it can't be a war because they only have so many days, what is it? I think sixty days or whatnot that they can actually have active conflict without Congress approval, congressional Jason: But it's but it's Bryan: approval. Jason: yeah, but there you should not have those those things that are stating that it's that you only get certain benefits if it's declared a war. Bryan: I agree with you what you saying. I'm just saying why J D Vance is probably so s sticking to his guns on not calling it a war. He can't be on camera saying it's a war. He might reach out and help that guy. I I don't know. Let's put it this way. I'm not taking up for the government at all. So if y'all hearing this shit think I'm taking up for the government, you can go suck a dick. It ain't nothing about taking up for the government. But if you have somebody that works in the office that writes whatever they're supposed to be getting to this wife, right? And you have to check all these boxes, which everyone has to do. And it doesn't check this box. And without checking his box, you can't write a check. There's nothing you can do at that point because of what you said, that discrepancy of what it's called. The Jason: Yes. Bryan: people at JD Vance and and Trump's level, they're not looking at that one box that needs to be checked for that guy to get paid. So they probably don't know that. Again, I'm not taking up for him. They probably just don't know that. Now that he knows that he might get an assistant of an assistant of an assistant of somebody to get these people what they need. Right. Jason: To override that, yeah. Bryan: So it they can make all that shit work. I understand all that, but that they should. They should figure out a way just to override it, period, at least through this conflict, war, three day excursion. You know? That way they can get what the fuck they want and the people that's out there actually going through this shit can get what the fuck they need. You know, and they don't they don't have this type of shit. Jason: Well that's Yeah, I don't know. I don't wanna talk too much about stuff going on with me right now too with the VA stuff and all that because like I said, I Bryan: Then don't talk about it. Jason: well I know, but I'm just saying these boxes, these boxes that have to be checked and the wording and all it's bullshit, dude. It is. Bryan: I agree. And I'm gonna play devil's advocate because it's not because I'm trying to go out. This is how I think about shit. I used to think about that all the time. Why are the good always punished for the bad? And it's because we someone in law is always writing a new law or finding another loophole in a law to where a law has to be written. And we allowed it to where everyone can be sued for nothing. When you do that, you have to start protecting yourself. And it starts to require an All this extra paperwork, all these extra boxes. Jason: And sometimes you get caught up in it. Yep. Bryan: And you just get stuck in this dumb shit. And it ends up in everything because who's writing all the paperwork for everybody? It's a fucking lawyer. That's what they know. That's what they do. And we Jason: Right. Right. Bryan: created all this shit because so it just like at work. When you you try to reprimand somebody and you say, so and so, you know, he showed up at 8 05. He didn't show up at 8. Well, did you tell him he couldn't show up at eight five? No, I told him he had to be at fucking work at eight, but did you tell him he couldn't show up at eight five? That's just how stupid everything is. And it all became that way because someone always pushed the loophole to the next level to get what they wanted. Jason: Yeah, you not only have to tell the standard, you have to also tell what's not the standard. Bryan: Exactly. And it's stupid. It's just the way we are as a society today. We we have to have so many laws because people just can't accept common sense. Jason: Yep. Amen to that. Bryan: All right, so last weekend, well, we s my wife still puts it on Fox News, so Fox News pretty much stays on in the house all day, all weekend. We don't really why I even put the radio on, but the new is on. I don't know why, just just a habit. Okay. Well, last weekend they were talking about AI targeting. And the AI targeting they were talking about was Russia using AI targets and they're not using a human in the kill chain. So it's Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: fully autonomous. Drones that they're sending out and killing people. And they're talking about how bad this is because they don't have a human in the kill chain. Which I agree. I don't think AI should be going out and and killing everyone. I just I don't. I think it ends in a bad way. We had an episode that we we discussed this before. But the way they're talking about it is Russia's the devil. Russia might be the devil, but the analogy that they're using about this. AI kill chain and we have to put somebody in a human in the AI kill chain and Russia don't falls on its face when you think of early in the Iran war when we blew up Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: that girl school. It was if it was AI, you know, targeting and we hit the girl school. Well, you can't blame it on AI now because you said we have somebody in the kill chain. That's a so is AI worse than the human that blew up that gave the permission to blow up the school? You see my point? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: And then this past week we blew up a wedding party. Now I read a report and it and it stated that the wedding party was next to a tower that we were trying to blow up. Hold on, I'm gonna bring it up real quick. Jason: This might be too soon. Wonder if it happened right when the priest said does anybody object to this marriage? Bryan: It might have helped the dude. Do you think it just killed the people on the one side, not the other? Was it a targeted that d did they get the the in laws of the the wife or the or the husband? Jason: Yeah, who's to say somebody didn't go in there and just body blow that up? US striking strike on the wedding evidence challenges the Bryan: Damn what I wanted to do. Hold on a second. All right. So it talks about the attack, and it also talks about how they were saying it was collateral damage from a strike on a nearby telecommunications tower. But analysis of images, close circuit television footage and satellite data shows that the house and the tower were 130 to 140 meters apart. While the building hosting the wedding appears to have been struck several times separately from the tower. Some pretty good destruction right there. Jason: That almost looks like a painting or something and not a picture. Bryan: So is this better than autonomous? Yeah. Jason: I don't know too much about it, but I mean Bryan: You what autonomous means. Okay, so autonomous. If I shoot out a drone, that drones on its own, it'll pick out its own target and it'll kill whatever it it decides to kill. That's autonomous. It works on its own. Jason: Yes. Yes. Bryan: We have a human in the kill chain. We send out drones or missiles and it has AI targeting. And then we as a person acknowledge what we're gonna kill. Jason: Control that. Yes. Bryan: A person makes that decision. Jason: Yes. Bryan: What Fox was saying was it's inhumane to have autonomous AI weapons, which I'm not disagreeing against. You know, I agree Jason: Yes. Bryan: that we should not have fully autonomous weapons. I just I I don't like that idea. Jason: No, because AI has no feelings and morals and things like that, unless you teach Bryan: Exactly. Jason: it that, right. Bryan: But judging by our destruction of the girls' school and this wedding party, and my there Jason: There was a human involved in that. Bryan: was a human involved in that. That to me is worse Jason: Yes. Bryan: than an AI fuck problem. Jason: Yes. Bryan: d does that make sense? I hope that gets through to everyone and what I'm trying to convey because Jason: Yeah. Bryan: I'm sorry, I thought everybody knew what autonomous meant, but yeah, that date. Jason: No, I I didn't know where you were going with that. I know what autonomous means, but I guess I Bryan: Okay. Jason: was confused. I didn't hear about this strike and all that. I knew about the girls school and all that stuff, and we we tried to downplay it too, like they were making that up. We didn't hit that bill. You know what I'm saying? And then I think they finally admitted they did on accident. Well, how you do it on accident? Bryan: I don't understand how we do this and I actually I went into I used AI to ask about AI and it it states how it can be a little off and it's AI is not a hundred percent, you know, gonna put it right down the damn window every time. Basically Jason: Right. Bryan: what it was saying. And I get that. But to be that far off, you know, and Jason: Well, okay. Bryan: the girls school thing is just I mean that's a whole Building, you know. Jason: You know, I feel sorry for anybody g think about this. Now we don't think about it because we've never been attacked other than nine eleven and all that. We can go like I said, we can go back and forth whether or not that was inside or outside, but and then Pearl Harbor and we we talked about that could've been that too, right? That could have been an inside deal with j Jap Bryan: I I heard something earlier today that they were talking about that they did have insider knowledge and I was like, all right, I quit listening to it because I didn't want to hear it all. You know what I'm getting at? Jason: Yeah, because you didn't want to get on that thread, right? It's not time Bryan: Yeah. Jason: for that thread yet. And but like you look at all these cell phone tires we have in our country. Now some of are out in the middle of nowhere, you know, going down the interstate and shit like that. But we got one down from our house. And then I I know people that have on their property. I don't want to live right next to one. Because if anybody came over here to take us out, who's to say they're not gonna bomb them first, right? Hit those and knock our there's gonna Bryan: Communications. Jason: be what did we learn in our jobs in the military, right? You can be just a little bit off and miss the target by a bunch just by your grid coordinate just being a tenth off. That make sense? I d I don't think I'd be going Bryan: It makes a lot of sense. Jason: to it yeah, my bom my city my country's getting bombed and attacked by Israel and the United States. I'm probably not gonna go to a wedding near a telecommunications tower. I I don't know. Bryan: But you know that. These people might not I don't know what they know. I I I can't I can't speculate on what they know or not, but I'm glad what you just said about coordinates 'cause when we were in, we would've we would once plotting all the coordinates and where everything had to Jason: Yeah. Bryan: go and how it had to go. I mean, it wasn't GPS or any of this other shit. Jason: Right. And you remember if we messed up just a little bit, it threw shit way off, member? Bryan: And I yeah, and I think that I'm not saying we better than AI or any of this other stuff, but I think knowing that and knowing that we had to do everything, there was a little more care put into what was actually going on. Does that make sense? Right, because we didn't want to be Jason: We had to double check ourselves. Not Bryan: the one i if if someone caused a problem, you were the one. You wasn't blaming it on nobody else. It was your problem. Jason: Yeah. Right. Right. Nobody questions AI because we all think AI is all knowing. That's the problem. Bryan: Yeah, I agree. Jason: I mean, we're gonna see how good AI is all knowing with my fantasy football team because it picked all my people. I did the same thing you did, so Bryan: So I'm talking, man, why? It works pretty good, huh? Jason: Yeah, I just kept feeding it every time somebody took somebody. I told him what pick I had. I told him how my my my fantasy team is. It's PPR, twelve man team, sixteen rounds. Bryan: Yep. Jason: I told him what I got the first pick in the draft, so I got B. John Robinson from or B. John what from the running back for Atlanta. Bryan: From Atlanta, yeah. Jason: Yeah, and and I kept telling it everybody it was taking and it was like old crap. Quarterbacks are coming off the board. We gotta get one. And blah, blah, blah. It kept like, it was like getting involved with me. And I was Bryan: Mm-hmm. Jason: all, and somebody's like, Why'd you take that guy? And I said, Don't question why I'm taking people. Okay. I don't know either. I don't Bryan: That's exactly what I do. Jason: know who the hell this dude is, but ChatGPT told me, get him. So Bryan: Yeah, I I didn't put everybody that was in there, but what I would put is who's the next of best three or four at the position that I wanted. And I'd Jason: Yeah. Bryan: tell them who all I had, and then it would ask me, Well, what are you looking for? And you tell me what you're looking for. Well, if this one's available, do this, this, and I was like, This motherfucker acting like he's my friend. You know what Jason: Yeah, I know. Bryan: I'm saying? What else? What else is asking me? I'm like, Jason: Yeah. We gonna hang out tonight after this and have a couple of drinks. Bryan: But I can see how people could get wrapped up in AI as a friend. Jason: But dude, I well when we were done, we do we do R through ESPN and when we were done, Bryan: Yeah, ours too, yeah. Jason: I went and and and screenshotted everybody's team. I screenshotted the schedule for us me versus the other guys in the league and it analyzes all that. And it's gonna tell me how to build my team every week. It tells me which teams Bryan: really? Jason: yes, it tells me which guys that I they should be good wins for me. And it tells me like we gotta really Hope that this guy has some players get hurt. And I'm like, damn, you're already wishing players get hurt. Shit. Like, Bryan: Ha ha ha. Jason: damn. So yeah, this thing's like, yeah. Like AI's gonna hurt this dude. Like he's gonna Bryan: Wow. I didn't go that deep into it, but go ahead. yeah. Jason: get in the headset and call a play, and the dude's gonna get plowed in the middle and like, okay, I took that guy out for you. You should win this game. Bryan: I imagine people use AI a lot now for gambling too. Jason: dude, I you imagine gambling places not being liking that, right? Cause that thing can do so much research so quick. Like it checked twenty something sites. Bryan: But but gambling the gambling sites are using that also though to get there. So I think you kinda battling each other, but I think it Jason: to get their what do they call that? Bryan: The spreads and shit. Jason: The spread, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: So it could go both ways. I don't know. I AI is good until it's not, you know, just like everything else. You know, ev anything good, you know, you you gotta keep it in moderation. You you do a little too much of it, it becomes a problem. Just like Coke, you know, you gotta do it in moderation. Can't you can't go score face every weekend, you know, you just gotta you gotta do it every Jason: Just one line you should be yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One line a week you shouldn't be doing four or five off a hooker's butt and Bryan: What what was that guy I thought about he was tootin'? do some tootin'. Jason: Tootin' yeah, I do I won't I toot d I won't do no heroin, but I'll do some tootin. Bryan: I'll do some tootin'. All right, moving on. All right. Jason: That was a funniest damn yeah. Okay. Yeah, back back in line. Bryan: Now I'm not an economist, and I'm pretty sure if y'all listen to me, y'all understand that. Nor did I act like I know the economy. But it appears that, though, that we're having issues selling our debt to other countries through bonds. Foreign official buyers, which are basically the central banks, have been stepping back and foreign private buyers are filling some of that gap. For example, since February this year, China has sold off sixty-one billion and Japan has sold off a hundred and twenty two billion in their bonds. And this is leading to the US buying back more of its own debt using our tax money to try and keep the interest rates down. There's what's happening to the bond market. So that is our bonds. And then we have countries like France and the Netherlands learn this week they're they pulled a lot of their gold out of US banks and bringing it closer to themselves, like in London. Some say that's normal. Some say this is due to the debt and the volatility of the US dollar. But the most consensus answer I found was because the world isn't happy with how we weaponize the US dollar. They point, they point out how the US froze Russia's money in February 2022. This was roughly $300 billion that we froze. Some of what I understand is that when the US dollar is strong. Countries will sit back and try not to buck the US dollar as the US dollar affects most of the world. But when the US dollar starts to show a sign of instability and the U.S. government tells the world that they will sanction anyone who helps Iran, this kind of changes the thinking of where their money is stored. Not not to say that France or the Netherlands want to help Iran, but look at how we're talking to our allies. I mean, even like Canada. So I'm not saying that we we shouldn't want other countries to respect us. Got we gotta have other countries. We can't let other countries disrespect us. And I and I think our our trade deficit's awful. You know, Trump shows that when he came in office how awful our trade deficit is or tariff stance, I don't know. But we got to do something. But it looks bad. You know what I'm saying? They're they're share our northern border. Yeah. And we we don't get along with them. That that just it looks bad. And if I'm another country and I got money in your country and I hear how you talking to the people just north of you, maybe I have some reservations of what you would do to me also. I don't know. That's just one way to look at it. But I also believe we need to have some sense of reason, and at least publicly, you know, when we're dealing with our best allies. We we just don't need to piss everybody off at once. And this week, the SCO met, that's the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. This includes Belarus, China, India, Iran, four stands, five stands in Russia. If you don't know what stands are is like Pakistan and Chakistan, I got five of those in Russia. All right. Jason: The Stan Brothers. Bryan: The stands, five stands. All these countries have their packs with each other. And here we are not supporting our ally just north of us. Nor are we supporting the allies in the area of these countries. Now, let me be fair. We're supporting them, just not the way that they would like. It was reported that we stopped. I'm going to refer to that. We didn't stop. It was reported that we paused. I got corrected by AI. We paused. We paused sending rep weapons to Japan, South Korea, and Tuan, Tuan. You know that Tuan, South Korea, and Tuan. Jason: Twine twine. Bryan: And some of those delays in shipping those weapons would only be about two years. Yeah. So there's a two-year window that they might not have the weapons that they need. These are countries we're supposed to help protect. And I'm not sure we're proven that we're able to do this right now. In South Korea, the polls in South Korea show that 65% of its people want to build their own nuke for their own protection. Now, South Korea's president has ruled against building a nuke because he thinks it would make that area unstable. But the people are like, hey, look, we need a nuke to protect ourselves. But down the line, if it's proven that the U.S. can't protect them, then I would assume that the president or the future president. Of South Korea may have a different fucking opinion about a nuke. As we talked about before, this shit with Iran has proven that if you want a protection in this world, you might need a nuclear weapon. But that's not my point. It's where I'm going with this. My point Jason: What's that? Bryan: is, where the fuck did all our money spent on defense go? Jason: I don't know. Bryan: Why don't we have stockpiles of fucking weapons all over this fucking earth? You know what I'm getting at seriously. And I'm about to break this down for you, and you're gonna see also. So our government has spent a fuck ton on defense. I And I know in my lifetime that money wasn't making it down to our equipment when we went in the fucking Marine Corps. I know that wasn't happening. Not looking at back at what was spent on fucking defense and what we had to work with, we wasn't seeing any of that shit. So where all that money went? So I decided to look in just two weapons or two missiles, the ones that we're having problems getting the Patriot and the Thad. The Patriot was delivered first time at the end of 1981. The Thad missile came on the scene in the end of 2009. All right. Since 2009, the US has spent fift thirteen to fifteen trillion dollars on national defense. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: In today's dollars, that's 16 to 18 trillion. Since I couldn't get an official number, Gronk did a rough estimate based on the procurement of the 2025 budget. And this is what we come up with. Using the 14 trillion spent on our national defense since 2009, it is estimated that roughly 1.5 to 2 trillion was spent on ships, submarines, and missiles. It was such things like that, such as the Patriot. The Thad, the Tomahawk bombs, artilleries, armor, radio trucks, all the shit that you need to fight. Okay. You know to ship submarines or the top of that, you know, on cost. It has to be. So that's roughly 14% of all the money spent was on ships, submarines, missiles, artillery, armor, radios, trucks. Since again there's there's no official number on what was spent and on how it was spent just for the missiles during the same time from two thousand nine to now, Gronk had to estimate and again drum roll please. The best range was 250 to 400 billion was spent on the missiles. The Patriot and the THAAD was estimated at around $4 to $9 billion per year. At 17 years, let's say $6.5 billion times 17 years, Just ballparking on the low end that we spent on Patriot and THAD missiles. Okay. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Is estimated at a THAD. Battery costs roughly one billion dollars. This is a radar, all the launches, the generators, the trucks, the whole fucking setup. cost one billion dollars. We could have easily bought 20 batteries, right? Easily. When we started the Iran War, it was reported we had eight. Eight batteries fully loaded. Those eight batteries carry three hundred and eighty four interceptors on launches. We spent an estimate one hundred and ten point five billion on just THAD and Patriot missiles since two thousand nine, and we had eight batteries in twenty twenty six. A single thad missile runs you twelve to sixteen million dollars. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: We had five hundred and thirty-four in twenty twenty-five. So that's roughly seven point four billion dollars. Most of those came with the Thad battery. But I'm just throwing that in there because we're just gonna make some numbers, you know? Is estimated that we currently have around two hundred and fifty Thad missiles. Between the twelve day war and the epic period is estimated we fired two hundred and eighty to three hundred Thad missiles. That cost us roughly fourteen million dollars apiece. These are all rough numbers and estimates based off the numbers from the Center of Strategic and International Studies. So I'm just not pulling numbers out of my ass. Yes, the numbers are estimates, but they're estimates based off of known numbers prior to the war. Fucking regardless, where did the money go? It still don't add up. I'm I'm a now I'm gonna bring in the Patriots. Since we didn't spend 110 billion on all the THAAD missiles that had to go on the Patriots because it's the only two we estimate. Before the war we had twenty three hundred and thirty Patriot missiles. Right now we estimated to have around eight hundred or so. A Patriot cost around five million dollars each. So if we started the war with twenty twenty three hundred and thirty We spent roughly 11.65 billion on Patriots and roughly 7.4 billion on Tad. And we had 110 billion spent since 2009 on both. It don't add up. And I'm sure I'm missing some expenses, but that's still a huge fucking gap. Where'd the money go? Why we don't have more milk? That's my whole point. Why we don't have what we need when we need it? Do we not give you the money? I'm a taxpayer. You're a taxpayer. People that's gonna be listening to this motherfucker's a taxpayer. If we give you money to get you what you need to defend us, and now it's time to defend people, and you don't have what you need. That sounds like you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. Right? Jason: Yep. Yep. Bryan: Does all that make sense? Jason: That makes a lot of sense. Bryan: Well, we keep hearing, you know, we don't have this. Why? Why can't we support our allies? We told them we were gonna support but why we can't support I and I pretty much know why. Is we got so confident that nobody was gonna fuck with us and that we can just go blow everybody up in a a day that you don't you don't need all that. You don't need all that. You know, we'll skim this off the top. You don't need all that. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. All right, a couple more things before we wrap up. I'm gonna name a tinfall hat for this Jason: I don't have my tinfull. Bryan: That's all right. So I saw Chaotic Concepts this week. And it reminded me of something we did back in Vietnam. All right, so I'm gonna play this. This is why people are so moody. Now, this video is like four and a half minutes long, but it has a lot of information in it, and it and it's gonna matter and w on how I'm gonna bring this together. And I got my tinfall add on because it's some spooky shit. But I'm not saying this shit ain't possible. Check this up. Think that's possible. It's a lot of fuck Jason: Come on, man. Bryan: a lot of fucking patents. Jason: Why would you have all them patents if you weren't using that shit? Bryan: No shit. Well, that made me think, and I had to go back and see if I could find a video. And I found a video of what they did in Vietnam. Creepy shit. And it there's multiple tests that they've done in this country, and like Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Savannah, Georgia, and San Francisco, and it was it might have been New Jersey or something where they sprayed fall again just to get people Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: sick, respiratory illnesses, and see how they reacted and how much how sick they got and it's Jason: Yeah, I I remember you covering that in one of our things, what they did to San Francisco. They pumped that stuff in to see just see how they handled it. Bryan: Well, and even the one in St. Louis we done not long ago, whenever they put it on top of the tower and they were riding around Jason: Yeah. Bryan: in the station wagon spraying that stuff. It's sick what our government has done to people. And Jason: Yeah. Yep. Bryan: you see all these patents come out, and you you feel like you're a tinfall hat person, but it's because they've done it before. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: And it did it on the biggest stage, probably during COVID. So Jason: Crazy. Bryan: well now I'm about to piss off some more Trump people real quick. Jason: sweet. Bryan: And this is why. And it's not to piss you off. It's it's because again, I was a huge Trump supporter. And whenever I see holes in the things that I used to believe, it interests me. I I'm sorry, it just does. And during Trump's first term, we constantly were told that he isn't even taking a check. No, he is working for free. And he and he was. And I'm not gonna say he wasn't, but that's what they were constantly telling us. He was How many times have you heard he was the only president to leave office that was worth less than when he went in? That they they always told you this. And this is proved. And this showed you that he was an honest man because he went into politics and left politics with less money. That made him honest, did it not? That's what people thought. That's what you Jason: Yeah. Yeah, because he can't be bought off. Bryan: and we were sold on all that. Jason: Yep. Bryan: So how about now? And approximately this this is all from Forbes. In 2015, his net worth was around 4.5 billion. Early in his first term, it was three point five billion. When he left office, his net worth was around two point three to two point five billion. Okay. So he he lost money. He lost two billion dollars. In twenty twenty-four, prior to his election, they estimated his wealth around three point nine to four point three billion dollars. In September twenty twenty five, it grew up to seven point three billion. That's because of crypto, his meme coin, some licensing agreements he had and court outcomes and shit like that. In March of twenty twenty six, he made the billionaires list at six point five billion. As of September twenty twenty six, in real time, his estimated his worth was around seven billion dollars. So his estimated revenue in twenty twenty five, the revenue was around two point three billion dollars. He made in twenty twenty five what he was worth at the end of his first term. He is making a lot of money. In the last three years, Trump's worth grew 4.4 to 4.7 billion dollars. So roughly 170 to 200%, depending on how you want to look at it. That's the his best three years ever in business. And he's making money on everything. He's he's got cryptocurrency that he had six hundred and thirty five million dollars that he made in with the with his family. The total Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: gain, I think, according to Root Rotors was two point three billion for his whole fucking family. The people that bought into that shit, and I didn't pull all the numbers up, but the people that bought into that shit lost their ass off. I got a graph somewhere, and I didn't want to show it, but it spiked up for that meme coin, and I mean it just dropped. And all the people that bought into it earlier, like Trump and his family, made money hand over fist. And and to be fair to Trump, he made a lot of money also by selling his name to the meme coin. So he did get some of that money that way. But Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: the ones that were in there early made a lot of money. The two million or the million supporters that bought into it, they lost their ass. I think they were saying if you invested like ten thousand dollars in it at that one time, it's worth like three hundred bucks now. That's a big loss. So to someone like me and you, that's a huge fucking loss. Jason: yeah. Bryan: He's made four point seven million dollars selling Trump watches. He made two hundred and eight thousand dollars selling Bibles. The Mar-a Lago revenue jumped from fifty million to seventy seven million in twenty twenty five. The revenue it made at Mar-a-Lago jumped twenty-seven million dollars in a year. That right there, again, I'm not dogging on him. People think, yeah, just jealousy. I'm not dogging on him because of his money. Make all the fucking money you want. It doesn't look good. And it's hard to believe that you're doing this in a fucking honest way when you're doing this. And he might be doing the best thing in the world, you know, but it's just no different than your preacher. If your preacher's on the pulpit and he's wearing a Rolex and his big ass chain and all this other shit, and he's still asking you for money, yeah. Jason: Telling you to put in that plate. Yeah. Bryan: It don't look good. He might be buying that from the money that he's invested on something else. It doesn't matter. You know, I'm not jealous of the man. I just can't understand how people just can't fathom how that's just not a good look. I don't know. Do you under does that make sense? Jason: No, it makes total sense. I mean he's You get in a position all of a sudden you're making money left and right on all this other stuff. It starts looking like you got you know stuff. You have Bryan: yeah. Jason: they all have access to shit we don't have. And then all of a sudden their pockets start getting fat. Bryan: Man, in that graph I put together and I I I might have put it in. Jared Kushner, I mean, his fucking wealth jumped up too. And that's the that's the shady one in my opinion. That that dude right there, he he's fucking shady. Let's see if I put it in there. I didn't put it in there. But yeah, he I it has all their wealth and and the whole Trump family, their their wealth just shot up after this. Jason: Right. Yeah. Bryan: It it There's a lot of shit going on. I'm not saying it's shady. I'm not saying these people are doing anything illegal, but what I'm saying is it really doesn't look Jason: I posted some shorts on that last week and or this last week and man, we got tore up about that shit, dude. About Trump's finan yeah, family Bryan: By what? yeah, by the Trump that's what I'm getting at. Jason: finances, yeah. Bryan: Yeah, people think that everything's on and it might be on the up and up. It don't look good. I if when you look at how many people know how much money he made since he's been in office this time? We all think Jason: Yeah. Okay. Bryan: of because of that first fucking term, he didn't take a check, right? Jason: Right. Bryan: And he lost money coming out. So we in our mind, and I'm I'm not speaking for every MAGA Republican or whatever, but in my mind, I can say that that Man, I thought he was an honest person because no, he didn't even make any money, man. He Jason: Well can we not get this into like small town theory? I don't know how many small town people listening listen to us that come from small areas like I do. Like you know, my town I live in's got like a damn fifteen hundred people population. Like you could almost go out there with it it like with a chalkboard and wipe something off when somebody passes away or moves. So Bryan: Yeah. Jason: A dude gets elected sheriff to your county. And all of a sudden this dude starts has this nice ass house all of a sudden, the nice bass boat, the nice truck, his wife's got the nice SUV. He didn't have this before, and you know that job only pays out sixty thousand a year or sixty five thousand. And all of a sudden he's got all this stuff. You think you're not gonna look into him for some shady shit that he's doing? You know what I'm saying? Bryan: Yeah, I I I agree with I understand exactly what you're saying. I just hope other people can see that. Jason: Or a president of a bank, like a small bank in your community, and all of a sudden a guy gets president of it and all of a sudden he's They start investigating stuff like that and then come to find out they're embezzling or got into some shady shit, right? We our county, we had a judge executive and then one of the clerks got into some shady shit. Bryan: I don't think there's not a town in this country that they don't have shady people in. I don't think there's one political spot in in this country that's not shady. Always. Jason: That don't that ain't shady. Somebody's gaining. They're gaining from this shit. Bryan: They get into that because of that. And it's sad because you do have people that want to do good and they get grouped in with these people that are just shady. And again, I'm gonna go back to Trump in his first term. We all bought into that shit. And I'm not saying that he wasn't that wasn't him in the first term. It's not him now. It's just not. I mean, I don't care. I is like I I welcome anybody to look at this. Jason: Nope. It's a different I feel like it's a different person than what I voted for the first time. Or Bryan: Or Jason: that that was in office the first time. I think it's a this is a different version. Bryan: Yeah, exactly. Are we seeing the real person now, one or the other? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: All right, so last video I I told you the other day about this lady that's gonna show us how the government money gets down to its local rural area. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: This shit was it w I knew the government skimmed some shit off the top and for all these other different agencies because you gotta have so much paperwork and all this regulation. And we went through that a few weeks ago about how much money is caught up in all that stuff. Listen to this woman.
