- 1:24Starting off with some food news tonight, IHOP is debuting their
- 1:31limited edition Dubai Chocolate Pancakes at 3 locations in New
- 1:37York City, Los Angeles, and Austin, TX.
- 1:42This will begin August 4th with only 500 stacks available per
- 1:47city. This dish features layers of
- 1:52buttermilk pancakes, pistachio cream, toasted catafi hazelnut
- 2:02spread and chocolate shade. Use with a luxe version topped
- 2:07with a full chocolate bar. An edible 24 karat gold.
- 2:12Offered free to the 1st 25 customers at each location.
- 2:19This is inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate bar trend.
- 2:25The pancakes were developed in just two months by Ihop's
- 2:30culinary team, with potential for a wider roll out depending
- 2:35on performance. That sounds delicious.
- 2:41That was reported by aol.com. And I will add that the best
- 2:50thing on the menu at IHOP for me has always been the Philly
- 2:54cheese steak, some French fries. I definitely like a lunch there
- 3:00and it can be an early lunch. Some more delicious news,
- 3:06Pumpkin Pie M&M's are back in select locations and these look
- 3:14so delicious. I shared this on my Facebook
- 3:16page. Snackalater posted this.
- 3:20The pumpkin pie M&M's, they have great flavor.
- 3:23They have the milk chocolate in there.
- 3:26They have that delicious kind of honey and pumpkin taste to it.
- 3:35It just makes it distinct and I want more of it like mixing
- 3:44candy corn with peanuts. It just makes it it's together
- 3:50all of a sudden. And these limited edition items
- 3:57really get these companies going.
- 4:01Then you have the company that makes M&M's Mars investing $2
- 4:07billion to boost US manufacturing.
- 4:13Now, I wrote about this on my oddman.com, going to speak with
- 4:18you all about it here. The candy maker Mars will invest
- 4:23$2 billion through 2026 to boost domestic manufacturing. 94% of
- 4:32Mars products are made in the United States of America.
- 4:37Confectionaries will be boosted up from M&M's Skittles
- 4:43Starbursts in what we call the butter, better known as Dove
- 4:48chocolate. We should all be glad Mars is on
- 4:53Earth's side. Their limited edition candy is
- 4:59an extraordinary business that keeps snack influencers on the
- 5:04Internet buzzing. Mars has invested $6 billion
- 5:10over the last five years to boost US production.
- 5:15This investment will create 230 new jobs in the Salt Lake City,
- 5:22UT area that will take place this year.
- 5:28Mars has also popped off a $450 million facility in Lewisburg,
- 5:36OH. They produce Royal Canyon dry
- 5:41pet food, So if you want to read more stories like that, go to
- 5:47myodman.com. Subscribe and get the
- 5:51newsletter. As I'm tracking the biggest and
- 5:55brightest stories of the week, I try not to bring you the doom
- 5:59and gloom. You're going to see that right
- 6:01away. First thing you're going to see
- 6:03when you turn on your phone. It's probably the bad news and
- 6:08it's not your fault. It's just what the program is.
- 6:12It's just how they're programming the algorithm.
- 6:16And who's doing that exactly? Well, again, it's a collective
- 6:20effort. So all we can do is be the
- 6:24bearers of truth, be the light bearers in the darkness.
- 6:28President Trump announces a $350 billion trade deal with South
- 6:34Korea. This will be done in investments
- 6:39into American manufacturing, with 100 billion of that being
- 6:44put into American energy purchases.
- 6:49This also sets up a 15% tariff across the board for imports
- 6:57coming in from South Korea. So again, those tariff rebate
- 7:03checks, really what they are, are tariff rebate checks would
- 7:09really help the economy and they would do a lot to help President
- 7:14Trump's polling numbers, in my opinion.
- 7:17He would get a lot of that kind of unknown Gray area independent
- 7:24support back with those rebate checks from a lot of those
- 7:29people more or less not doing as well in Trump's economy, even
- 7:37though by far Trump's economy has outperformed Biden's economy
- 7:44and Obama's economy. Jack Pasobic and the crew over
- 7:50there at Real America's Voice, they want tariffs on overseas
- 7:56call centers and he says you can't stop us on X.
- 8:03Well, I'll tell you one thing that no one could stop is
- 8:06President Trump. He has signed an executive order
- 8:10that ends the de minimis trade loophole for low value packages
- 8:16shipped from all countries. This will take effect on August
- 8:2129th and it will subject any shipments of imported goods into
- 8:27the US worth $800 or less to duties which are set at 125%.
- 8:38As an internal optimist, I want to be very positive about this,
- 8:45but something tells me the immediate effects from this EO
- 8:52will have some contrary effects to those positive feelings I
- 9:00have in my gut. The Federal Reserve got together
- 9:05and once again, Jerome Powell gets up there and for the fifth
- 9:10time in a row, they failed to lower interest rates.
- 9:15And the market didn't like that right away.
- 9:18And that's what we're going to do now is take a look over at
- 9:21the markets. Markets were relatively calm at
- 9:25the end of the trading session on Wednesday, and the futures
- 9:30heading into Thursday for the S&P are up 60 points.
- 9:36The Dow futures are up 141. The NASDAQ futures up 316
- 9:43points. The Russell 2000, that's down 6
- 9:48points. The VIX spiked during
- 9:52Wednesday's trading session, but that's down half a point.
- 9:57And it is looking like this trade deal with South Korea and
- 10:04some big tech earnings are getting investors excited.
- 10:10They're getting happy feet. Then we have gold down $4.50,
- 10:17but it's still sitting pretty at $3348.30.
- 10:25Currently Bitcoin is in the green up 206 dollars sitting at
- 10:32$118,287.00 XRP. That's at $3.14 Etherium.
- 10:45That's up $39.00 at $3856 BMB. That's sitting pretty still at
- 10:56$800 in Solana. Who doesn't like Solana?
- 11:02Now? That's at 180 bucks, down less
- 11:08than a dollar at the moment. So you could see crypto is also
- 11:13doing very well. The bond market looking strong
- 11:21on the 13 week bond, five year bond, 10 year, 30 year, all
- 11:28pointing up. And President Trump has people
- 11:31excited about the markets. Again, silver at $37, but that's
- 11:37a testament to what silver's about.
- 11:40Copper's being shaken up. The world markets are being
- 11:42shaken up. Natural gas to $3.00, Brent
- 11:48crude $72 a barrel and crude oil a flat 70, up $0.09 on the day.
- 12:01But we really just need cheap gas for our tanks.
- 12:06Let's take a look here at Illinois, where Joseph Severino
- 12:12announces Ranch Ishwith as his running mate.
- 12:18This will be the Illinois Lieutenant Governor, Ranch
- 12:22Ishwith. Good luck to you, Sir.
- 12:27He brings an unparalleled blend of high level public service and
- 12:32private sector leadership to the Severino ticket.
- 12:36He has decades of experience as a senior risk manager and U.S.
- 12:41Treasury Bank examiner at the Office of the Comptroller of the
- 12:47Currency, where he supervised major institutions like Bank of
- 12:51America and Ishq with has tackled some of the most complex
- 12:56financial and regulatory challenges.
- 13:00So I've been waiting to see this now.
- 13:04Joseph Severino officially has a ticket and he can run a real
- 13:12true campaign for the governorship in 2026 in
- 13:18Illinois. So this is really good news.
- 13:22Now we just need the Illinois GOP to hold some sort of real
- 13:27primary and the people just to get out there and support a
- 13:31candidate who they believe can actually win.
- 13:35And I believe Joseph Severino actually can win.
- 13:38I believe he can appeal to a lot of the more soft spoken people
- 13:44in Illinois and a lot of the independents, a lot of the
- 13:47independents who bow Democrat just perchance.
- 13:51And I believe we were all laughing when Kamala Harris got
- 13:55up there and let down her supporters once again by
- 14:00declining to run for the governor of California in 2026.
- 14:07This is the time where Fox News and all of these other news
- 14:12outlets need to be pushing Steven Hilton or governor of
- 14:18California. Now there's a true independent
- 14:22who needs the GOP support but really needs the people support.
- 14:28And in California, he's out there right now.
- 14:31You can follow him. Hilton for governor on X, you
- 14:35can follow him. He's out there talking to the
- 14:37people, going to the neighborhoods and saying, hey,
- 14:40I'm running for governor. What are things you want to see
- 14:43changed now? That's the way to do it.
- 14:46So I really do appreciate his approach.
- 14:51Now, the Senate Democrats were invoking Clotcher to pretty much
- 14:58get done what they needed to as far as confirmations, but they
- 15:03still have a huge backlog. They're clearing a lot of the
- 15:08important confirmations up. So I give them credit for that.
- 15:11But the Senate has to work a little bit quicker here to
- 15:15confirm a lot of these important judges before they might have to
- 15:21go ahead and just abolish some of these district courts that
- 15:26are not used or use less Democrats invoke a rare Senate
- 15:33rule to release some of the Epstein files.
- 15:37So we'll see how that goes. But a lot of that is smoke and
- 15:41mirrors, and I've set my sights on higher things.
- 15:45If we can get any information about that, great.
- 15:49If Maxwell is going to testify, that's awesome.
- 15:55Do I think she should get a pardon?
- 15:57That's hard to say. No, I really don't.
- 16:00Deep down, I don't think she should get a pardon, just like I
- 16:04don't believe Diddy should get a pardon.
- 16:06But it's not up to me if it was up to me.
- 16:10No bargains for either of them. The only real information I've
- 16:16seen that looks to be criminal is the newly obtained documents
- 16:24that reveal the former Director of National Intelligence, James
- 16:28Clapper, allegedly threatened to withhold a promotion from a
- 16:35senior intelligence official for refusing to support the
- 16:39fabricated intelligence community assessment linking
- 16:44Donald Trump to Russia's interference in the 2016
- 16:49presidential election, per The Federalist.
- 16:54And we have a foreign policy concern here where Canada and
- 17:00the France and United Kingdom leaders are going to recognize
- 17:07the state of Palestine at the United Nations in September.
- 17:14Now, they didn't consult the United States on this issue.
- 17:20Remember that the congressional ban on stock trading has made it
- 17:27out of the Senate committee by a narrow margin, razor thin
- 17:32margin. Eight to seven members of
- 17:36Congress are sent to Washington, DC and the state capitals around
- 17:42this country to carry out the will and do the work of the good
- 17:48people, the citizens, the taxpayers, the big residents.
- 17:57That's what their job is, not to rake in a bunch of big cash off
- 18:02the stock market as Nancy Pelosi has now.
- 18:07She denies insider trading, but we know she's made a lot of
- 18:12money off stocks. She's made a lot of money.
- 18:16Marjorie Taylor Green has made a lot of money off the stock
- 18:19market. Anna Paula Luana, the
- 18:24congresswoman from Florida, says she has the support to force a
- 18:31full House vote on the congressional ban on stock
- 18:37trading bill. And I believe with Congress
- 18:42members like Tim Burchett, who was recently kicked by a horse
- 18:49but suffered a broken rib and will not miss any work, as he
- 18:54posted on X and said he's the one that has the bill in the
- 19:00Congress that's going to put it forward.
- 19:03Josh Hawley was the one that put it forward in the Senate.
- 19:07So now we have a real momentum on stock trading being banned in
- 19:14Congress and if this 119th Congress can accomplish that,
- 19:21that's pretty impressive. You have to give them credit for
- 19:24that if they can do it. Still a little bit of a ways to
- 19:29go. So we shall see.
- 19:32But I'm very hopeful about this. I was really happy to see the
- 19:36Senate confirm Emil both get it done.
- 19:41Senate, I mean, they narrowly passed in Neil Bove for the
- 19:48Third Circuit Court of Appeals and he had the Article 3 project
- 19:53behind him. He had Trump's blessing and he
- 19:58snuck by 50 to 49. It should have been easy to pass
- 20:03him. So there's a report out now that
- 20:08says Gavin Newsom and his wife's. $9.1 million mansion was
- 20:14bought through an LLC created just two days before the
- 20:19purchase, managed by his wife and used to buy the home from a
- 20:25major donor was also JB Pritzker's cousin.
- 20:30How terrible is that? Now Pakistan is moving to create
- 20:38a strategic crypto reserve with over 40 million inside.
- 20:44Sadly, Gilbert Arenas has been arrested along with five other
- 20:49defendants including a suspected high level Israeli crime faker.
- 20:56This is over a federal indictment alleging they
- 21:01operated in a legal gambling business in which high stakes
- 21:06poker games were played at Encino Mansion, which Arenas
- 21:12owned. This is according to statements
- 21:15released by the United States Attorney's Office for the
- 21:18Central District of California. It is very sad to see because of
- 21:24how great of an athlete he is, how great of a basketball player
- 21:29he was, what he meant to his teammates, to his family and his
- 21:33friends. He was a star on the sports talk
- 21:38shows, they loved bringing him into the podcast and he always
- 21:43had a story to tell. Mind you, he was very animated,
- 21:48he was very in your face. He was very combative.
- 21:53And maybe it's true, the loudest are the 1st to go and you're not
- 21:59smarter than the law. This next Crime Story is wild
- 22:05and it could happen in anyone's community, so stay vigilant.
- 22:10A Kankakee County Sheriff's deputy sustained minor injuries
- 22:16during a Tuesday traffic stop in Bourbonnais, IL.
- 22:21According to the Kankakee County Sheriff's Department, the deputy
- 22:26had pulled over 21 year old Eric Sasteens of Kankakee in the 300
- 22:34block of Main Street Northwest about 9:00 AM for an alleged
- 22:41vehicle displaying suspended registration.
- 22:47The deputy was speaking with Sostines as you can see on the
- 22:52pictures they have here on his dash Cam, and without warning,
- 22:57Sostines pushed the officer, got back in his vehicle and
- 23:01attempted to flee. There was a physical struggle
- 23:06where he basically kicked the officer away and Sistines
- 23:11accelerated and they did not chase him because it was a busy
- 23:16time of day near a construction zone.
- 23:19And after he jumped on the Interstate shortly after,
- 23:23wherever he arrived, sheriff deputies caught him.
- 23:30Now, the preliminary charges against Sostines include
- 23:37aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated fleeing and
- 23:43eluding, resisting a peace officer and reckless driving.
- 23:52So they definitely gave him a hefty amount of charges for his
- 24:00alleged criminal actions. Wired wrote a story here that's
- 24:05good about why do some AI chat bot subscriptions like Grok for
- 24:12the heavy duty Grok cost more than $200 And there were making
- 24:20really good points there. It's on Wired, you can read it.
- 24:24These are the same people that will say journalism dies behind
- 24:28a paywall but they're charging for their product.
- 24:32But I agree with the news being mostly free, but everybody
- 24:36should have some premium content for their audience.
- 24:42At over $200 for AAI chat bot, it just seems like price
- 24:49gouging. Comcast has dropped Cartoon
- 24:52Network from its core TV packages.
- 24:56You will have to pay extra to watch Cartoon Network now and I
- 25:02believe Toonami is positioning themselves to have their own
- 25:07stand alone network, their own Toonami channel.
- 25:12There's a new episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds that is
- 25:18out. Tesla's Robo Taxi is now live in
- 25:24many parts of the Bay Area in California and you can check out
- 25:29their official mobile app, the Robo Taxi.
- 25:34This is very cool, very happy to see that happening.
- 25:39The exciting Congresswoman Nancy Mace says she has a special
- 25:46announcement on August 4th, 2025 S coming up very soon.
- 25:53Everybody is expecting her to announce a run for the South
- 25:58Carolina's Governor's mansion. I do believe she has the best
- 26:03chance to win for the Republicans in that South
- 26:06Carolina governor's race. So that would be a wise decision
- 26:13from Nancy Mace, and I would support that endeavor through
- 26:17and through. She's very proactive.
- 26:21We love her in Congress, but bigger and better things are in
- 26:27her future, without a doubt. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch
- 26:32says there is a scandal going on at The New York Times, and they
- 26:39have a story that confirms there's no record of Biden
- 26:42authorizing his pardons, but there is a record of his chief
- 26:47of staff authorizing them. Now Judicial Watch is
- 26:52investigating, so I'll be staying tuned to that.
- 26:57Trump imposed a 40% additional tariff on Brazil, and the White
- 27:04House has reaffirmed that they believe crypto and blockchain
- 27:08technology can revolutionize America's financial systems.
- 27:15Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says they will defy
- 27:20history when the GOP grows their majority in the House.
- 27:27They're on the right path for that.
- 27:30If you look at the congressional redistricting efforts that are
- 27:33going on and sweeping across the country and picking up steam and
- 27:38President Trump starting to tap on governor's shoulders and say,
- 27:43hey, look into this, hey, you need to let Congress know in
- 27:48your state that they need to begin drawing up a new
- 27:52congressional map. I do believe that would
- 27:56immensely help House Republicans retain their majority.
- 28:01Trump is putting the 25% tariff on India and says the August 1st
- 28:08tariff deadline will not be extended.
- 28:11So that's it. Friday, August 1st tariff
- 28:14deadline will not be extended. DOGE has updated their website
- 28:20and it is now estimated that they have saved taxpayers $199
- 28:27billion with an average amount of $1236.02 per individual.
- 28:38Thank you DOGE, keep up the good work.
- 28:42Under this second Trump administration, they have
- 28:46deported 14,000 illegal aliens with criminal pending charges
- 28:54last month, the highest on record.
- 28:58It has been revealed, and I found this over at Right Angle
- 29:03News Network, that Chuck Schumer, the senator from New
- 29:09York, received $4000 in campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein
- 29:17between 1992 in 1997, according to Open Secrets records.
- 29:27Prayers go out to the Virginia lawmaker and his family who was
- 29:33set on fire. This Virginia City Councilman,
- 29:38Lee Volkler was doused by a radical lunatic liberal leftist
- 29:47with gasoline and set on fire in his office.
- 29:52The FBI has found the surveillance footage from the
- 29:56night of Jeffrey Epstein's death which shows a strange
- 30:02unidentified figure in orange walking up the stairs towards
- 30:07his cell just before his death. So it's starting to look like a
- 30:13cover up more and more. Senator John Thune is now being
- 30:20accused of smurfing $1.14 million into his campaign using
- 30:27714 stolen senior identities through When Red, according to a
- 30:34newly filed FEC complaint. So we will see if this complaint
- 30:40has any merit or any weight to it.
- 30:44Five of the savages have been caught that were viciously
- 30:50beating down these white people and this white couple
- 30:55specifically. And then the police chief miss
- 31:01know it all. She gets up there and thinks she
- 31:04has it figured out and says social media is to blame.
- 31:08No, this wasn't a social media issue.
- 31:14The Cincinnati Police Chief, Teresa Fiji is trying to shift
- 31:20the blame, almost sounding like she wants to blame these people
- 31:26while this poor woman laid on the ground unconscious while
- 31:32these maniac psychos, savages, hoods, gang banger scum for
- 31:39savagely kicking and beating her and the rest of these guys who
- 31:45were begging for mercy, pleading for mercy.
- 31:49They showed no remorse. That's exactly what I would
- 31:53argue in court. Just like they caught the wacko
- 31:57psycho out here that head the cop killer in Kankakee County.
- 32:03Oh yeah, they caught you hiding scumbag the same way they caught
- 32:08these scumbags. That police chief should resign
- 32:14and get herself a desk job. It's time for sports.
- 32:21Austin Slater has been traded to the New York Yankees for Gage
- 32:27zeal. The Hall of Fame game is
- 32:30tonight, 7:00 PM Central time. Folks, Are you ready for the
- 32:36Hall of Fame game? I'm excited even though it's pre
- 32:40season, first game of pre season, we have a long way to
- 32:46go. After today.
- 32:50You will not get another game of the NFL until August 7th.
- 32:57I don't believe the Detroit Lions will play mini starters,
- 33:03if any, so we will see a lot of second stringers down the roster
- 33:11as these teams try to make the 53 man roster.
- 33:17And so it begins. The Chargers will start Trey
- 33:22Lance at quarterback on Thursday night versus the Detroit Lions
- 33:26in the Hall of Fame Game. That helps their chances.
- 33:31They've went from a + 115 underdog on the money line to a
- 33:38+ 105 underdog. I do like that value, but it's
- 33:45even better at +2 on the spread for -115 up to about -112.
- 33:53Both teams have a lot of players they want to try out, so you
- 33:57will get a very exciting and fun but mostly a competitive game to
- 34:04the finish. There may be a few dull moments
- 34:07in there, but not many. This is going on at the Tom
- 34:10Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. You can watch it on NBC slash
- 34:15Peacock and Canton, OH is where this is located.
- 34:21Jalen Rhaegar questionable a wide receiver for the Chargers.
- 34:26But the big question to me is which team takes advantage of
- 34:33starting the earliest? So you get one team from the NFC
- 34:39and the Detroit Lions and one team from the AFC and the Los
- 34:44Angeles Chargers. Now, we all know the Lions are a
- 34:49few steps away from being a real contender.
- 34:53But this passed offseason, in the offseason before they were
- 35:00very stagnant. They relied on the draft.
- 35:04Now is the time to see how those draft picks have turned out and
- 35:10will turn out for the Los Angeles Chargers.
- 35:15It's about momentum, getting back into the swing of things,
- 35:20getting your minds back on football as it's approaching.
- 35:26Once we get this game out of the way, we will be one week out
- 35:30from pre season. Everybody is excited about their
- 35:35team and a lot of people are saying pre season doesn't
- 35:39matter. Oh it matters, it really
- 35:43matters. It's going to show right away
- 35:48who has durability, who's in it for the long haul and who's in
- 35:54it for their teammates. My best bet is the +2 for the
- 36:01Los Angeles Chargers at -115 odds.
- 36:06Ladies and gentlemen, just like the hands of time, I'm turning
