You are about to wake up and see things for what they really are. News, facts, and opinions. This is the Doom Daily Show. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Doom Daily Show. I am your host, Jester Dooms. Today is Wednesday, September 30th, 2026. Good morning. The email, Doom Daily Show at gmail.com, the website, www.jestersvoice.com, everywhere on social media at Jester Dooms. Currently recording in the Toyota Tundra studio. ⁓ and a thousand miles to my left is the lovely, the talented, the strawberry scented. Producer Scooter. Good morning, producer Scooter. I hope you're having a fantastic morning out there doing whatever it is that you do, driving to work, driving home from work. Maybe you work the night shift. You know, who knows? But I hope your morning's going fantastic. It's hump day. You're halfway through the week. That's it, man. Three more days to the weekend. Don't you get sick of me saying that? I get sick of saying it. Fucking scam we live in, man. Telling you. And and I'm and I'm mmm. I'm never gonna come off this. Like, I'll die on this hill. Like this life that we lead. And this machine that they created is a scam. There was a time where we encouraged we encouraged self employment. Make your own hours, make your own days off, things like that. And the government has drastically pushed people away from that with red tape. Just saying, we're not as free as we once were, losing freedoms every day. Back in the day when I was starting my first business, it wasn't that much to do. I had to get my F E I. N number. To have a registered business that the government knew that I had an LLC that existed. And I had to register with the state. That was it. It was done. Now I'm seeing so many weird places you have to register businesses for them to be legitimate and then nobody checks up on these things. It's just like a one time thing. It's like a one time deal. You got to go like pay all these people all this money. It's almost like, you know, mafioso type shit. Anyway. They make it. So much of a pain in the ass to even want to get up and running and everybody's like, Well, if I had enough money, like I'd start my own business. And it's like, Well, why don't you just start any business doing anything, make money and then, you know, upgrade to the business you want after you're securing your own income and you're not at bay to your current work schedule? Because it doesn't work that way anymore. It doesn't. My American dream is to have a job I enjoy doing, working when I want to work and not working when I don't want to work. And I know that might sound lazy and I know that may sound like not trying. But you can't have you can't have everything and I know that. Like my current job that I possess, because I am employed, not a bum. I just don't work a lot because I'm part time. I wouldn't even call me part time anymore. I'd call me some time. Not even a part timer, I'm a some timer. Anyway, so my some timer job, I really enjoy what I do. I like what I do. And would I like to work more days? Like, yeah. But do I want to be at bay and not be able to do the things that I want to do? No. No. I did that for them already. And it didn't work out too great for me. So I find myself asking myself the same questions every day. Am I making the right choices? Am I making the right decisions? Am I doing things the way they need to be done? Is this is this end result gonna pay out or is it all gonna be worth the shit? You know, is it all gonna be just wasted efforts? Yesterday we spent, I don't know, five, six hours, something like that, down in the woods burning logs and tree limbs and brush and leaves and all the things that we've been clearing out on my plants. Because there's an end goal to this that hopefully will result in some income. Now, the the reality is is as I, you know, poke and prod and you know, and I'm and I'm going down this road and trying to come up with new new ideas and trying to figure out ways to maximize pr money that I can get from the property, it's always it all comes back to one thing. What if it doesn't work out? What if all this is for nothing? Then I just have a really cleared out piece of land that's just basically. you know, a a nice little wilderness to go play in. But the backup plan, the end game, is if this wouldn't work out, I would just assume sell the land. Because now it has a lot higher of a value because it's clear. You can do things on it now. You could visualize things. This is worth it to somebody now. Maintained land and unmaintained land have two separate values. So I guess that's the end game, if this doesn't work out. If not, maybe I lease the property to somebody that wants to hunt it yearly in exchange just for what I pay in like Property tax. Just get get a bill covered from it. You know what mean? Anyway. The amount of time and money that I've that I've put into this situation and building this this dream I have on the the property is just it's a lot. And it's not it's nowhere near being completed yet. And it really makes you wonder, like I said, what if this is all for nothing? But you can't think that way. You have to push forward, you have to persevere. And that's what makes me different. Than somebody else that works a regular nine to five job because I'm not fucking scared. If it fails, it fails. Who gives a fuck? I tried. I pushed. I persevered. I broke my back. I did what I needed to do to see if I could achieve a goal in a dream. And guess what? If I get there and it's not what I wanted it to be, or if it doesn't work out, at least I could go to sleep at the end of the day, knowing that at least I got to the point of realization. At least I fucking made it. Because there's a lot of people out there who are too fucking lazy. And too fucking scared to try and are just like baby fied through life and don't want to do a goddamn thing. They're scared to pull the trigger. They have no fucking balls. They're scared to fail. Fuck, I fail all the time. It's it's I'm good at it. I'm not scared to fail. I I've fucking mastered that shit. I've mastered it. And I've moved on and I've kept going. And just like this show, we'll be right back after this message and we'll keep going. Need break from reality? Well sometimes I do too. And the place I go to take that break is the Beans and Weenie Show. You can find the link at lingtree.com backslash BWD crew. The Beans and Weenie Show where chaos and common sense wage war and you get a front row seat. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Doom Daily Show. I'm your host, Jester Dooms, the email, Doom Daily Show at gmail.com. So speaking of jobs, Trump announces largest ever U.S. steel plant on the Epic Times. Washington, President Donald Trump revealed plans for the biggest steel plant in the U.S. history from the White House on September 28th. In quotes. This plant will produce some of the highest quality, most affordable steel anywhere in the world, Trump said during the event. All right. Let's ⁓ I I just I I just want to say a couple things before we continue into this article. Number one, I'm a big fan of of steel products. I would much rather have something made of metal versus plastic. And we lost a lot of that industry due to foreign affairs and dealing with China and getting products produced cheaper. The steel age in this country was one of the best times that we had. Like as a nation. Okay. And as somebody who's worked in the steel industry and has had jobs that have focused around fossil fuels pretty much my whole life, this is exciting. Cause if unless you know what it's like, okay, so I'm gonna paint you a little picture. With what I did for work, I thought, man, I'm I'm pretty good at what I do. If I go to school and get certifications and a diploma and an education in this, I could I could stand to make more money. Well, after some shit went down within our government and the EPA fucked things up and you know, certain things got shut down in our nation, there was an influx of people in my shoes looking for the same work. We couldn't find it. So when I got out of school with a degree and certifications, I actually made ⁓ less fucking money. And it took years to find a job that was paying more than what I made before I went to school. And then the market got worse, and then it was like a six dollar an hour pay cut if you wanted to go work any fucking where. So let me let me tell you, I would love to see the steel industry come back online in this country. Anyway, Masib Metallics executives joined the president and Senator Joni Ernest in the Oval Office to highlight the company's fifteen billion dollar investment in Iowa. After the first phase of construction is complete, the facility will produce approximately seven point five million tons of steel annually, increasing to ten million tons per year of once fully constructed. That's a lot of steel. The build out is expected to take about three years, adding more than five thousand construction jobs and about seventeen hundred and fifty permanent positions and contributing more than 95 billion to Iowa's economy by 2040, according to White House estimates. Now, if they're expecting that to happen by 2040, that means they have to have something in the works for steel sales. Whether that's constructing more skyscrapers, whether that's building out infrastructure, whatever it may be, they know something's coming and they need the steel for it. So much so that they wanna have this, like I mean, they just they're they're predicting basically the next 13 years. So that tells me that they fucking know something. And maybe what that something is is a lot of our steel that we're getting from overseas maybe isn't gonna be coming from overseas anymore. We're gonna have to make it ourselves. Maybe that's what that means. Maybe there's some truth in what people were talking about, like with these build outs the 15 minute cities and all of these things, and they're gonna start getting that going. You don't use steel in residential construction typically. You you know, you use wood, you use concrete, you use block, you and all these other kinds of new fancy building the ICF fucking blocks or the the sip walls, whatever it is, they're not using steel in residential construction. Okay. But we do use steel in things like airports, in things like skyscrapers, in things like very tall apartment concrete or concrete poured steel buildings. Parking garages. Yeah. So we use the shit out of steel in in an in an industrial capacity for, you know, large commercial applications, not residential. But then, you know, you kind of kind of ask yourself too, you know, what's what kind of steel products are they going to be producing? Let's read on. State leaders landed the deal landed the deal with a combination of tax withholding credits and sales tax refund refunds for construction. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds thanked Misabi executives and the administration touting the investment impact on the Hawkeye State. And quotes, this is a transformate transformational opportunity, not only for our country, but for Iowa, and really for American families. Reynolds said nothing, nodding the benefits to the economic and national security created by the strengthening a supply chain critical for defense and manufacturing industries. Find it interesting that they threw defense in there. Steel produced at the new plant will provide components for energy and other critical infrastructure, shipbuilding, machinery, and appliances, among other uses. So there you go. Let's read that one more time. Steel production at the new plant will provide components for energy and other critical infrastructure, shipbuilding, machinery, and appliances, among other uses. But the previous paragraph said defense. Interesting. Masabi's development marks the first so-called megasteel plant built in the nation in more than 60 years. The Bethlehem Steel Burns Harbor Works in Indiana was built near Lake Michigan between 1962 and 1964. The project is being privately funded and will be supplied with iron ore by the company's affiliated Minnesota Iron Range Project, which receives assistance from the Export Import Bank of the United States. Even more interesting. Masabi recently invested two point five billion in iron ore production facilities in Noorshwark, Minnesota, which will provide material for still production at its new Iowa operation. Export Import Bank Chairman John Jovikanic Jovanovic maybe attended the Oval Office event and visited the site on september seventeenth for a ceremonial mind blast. In quotes, it all starts with mining more in America, he said during the event. What you see here what you see here today is private capital flowing to rebuild America and to rebuild America's future. The facility's direct reduction pellets will allow for clean, high quality production of high quality virgin non-iron using high quality virgin iron using electric arc furnaces, far superior to the scrap iron that currently makes up Jester from its Doomsday Podcast and the Doom Daily Show here.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Doom Daily Show. I am your host, Jester Dooms. What do you think? That's a that's a pretty big investment. And I mean, I don't know how they're getting their estimates on, you know, the job front of how many people will be employed. But you have to you have to look at the trickle-down effect of this. If st like if you've ever gone to a steel yard, there's not many people that work in that steel yard. They've got like 10 employees, 15 employees, there's not that many. You know, a shipment comes in, you take it off the truck, you sort it, you got a few people in the office, they take orders, they tell you, hey, we've got this order, go ahead, pull it, bundle it up. Okay, the customer's here, get that loaded. Okay, boom. It's not a 50 man operation. Okay. Maybe if you're like the biggest steel supplier in the tri state area, maybe you have a a lot larger of an operation and more employees, but typically, typically these are small. operations like mom and pop shop type businesses, right? And they usually couple something with that, like recycling or something. You know, they're in the industry. ⁓ but what I want you to think about is, you know, these big suppliers, these the production facilities, they don't typically supply to the general public. And they don't supply to like an individual with a business and a tax ID. They supply to a select amount of customers. They ship directly to them and then You know, your consumer comes in and buys it from them. That's how this works. You don't go direct to the manufacturer, you go to the distributor. Okay, so so one and what I'm getting at with this is one production facility of this magnitude could supply thousands of these smaller operations with their steel. Okay. It's a big deal. So if each steel company out there, say there's a thousand of them nationwide that are using this company. And they each employ 50 people. Well, that's 50,000 jobs right there that are secured and still functioning because of this facility. Not to mention the countless amount of construction jobs and where the steel is going to be used at on the field, the shipping to get it back and forth, the guys that are driving the trucks, the forklift operator on the job site. And then not to mention all the manufacturing facilities around the US where steel gets used, because there's a shit ton. Like we ha we haven't gotten away from using metal in this country. We've just gotten away from using it in residential applications and and a lot of capacity automotive applications. I mean, so many so much more of the components on your vehicle become plastic. It's unreal. It's not like it once was. Anyway, to move on from that, I'm I'm just saying and just trying to get the point across that they're estimating this to be like seventeen hundred and fifty jobs in this factory once it's up and operational and everything's done. But The reality is, I mean, you're talking shit tons of jobs can be happening for people nationwide. But then you also have to ask yourself too, because this is something that we've seen before in the past. This big manufacturing facility gets up and running, they're doing their thing, blah, blah, blah. ⁓ they're shipping everything overseas and selling it overseas, not to the American, not to the American consumer. If we want that shit, we have to order it and get it shipped over or get it from China or whatever. When we've seen that in past. So let's hope that like this isn't some kind of crazy build out on US soil for seventeen hundred American jobs and all the steel is getting like shipped to Dubai. Like let's hope that's not what happens. But the other thing that I thought was interesting in that in that article too is it mentioned in their appliances. Okay, so do we make appliances in the US? Yes. But do the most of the appliances you see at like Lowe's Home Depot and w wherever else, do they are they made in America? No, they're not. So I like most of the appliances in my home are made in Mexico. So there you go. I just think that, you know, it it's and again I go back to this idea of like keeping the American people in the dark about certain things. If we are watching the government invest billions of dollars into a factory to help better, you know, the US and, you know, economically and everything, I do think that we should have a little bit more insight into Who's going to get these products, where they're going to be sold, if they are being shipped overseas, do the American people get these things for a better price than what somebody overseas is getting them for? Like what's you know, what's the deal here? I go into a lot of places and, you know, stores and restaurants and I go into all these places and and just the way I look, the way I dress, I always get asked. They said, Are you military? I said, No. And they said, ⁓ well, we were gonna give you the military discount. It's typically ten percent off wherever you go. Typically. I'm not military and I don't claim to be. However, I am a first responder. And I always ask, no, but do you have a first responder discount? And it's like, no. And then nine times out of ten, they'll end up giving me the military discount anyway, because they don't have a first responder discount. But what about the idea of, you know, building industry bigger and making money off overseas shit? What about simply just getting a fucking American discount because you're a fucking American and you pay taxes into this goddamn country to help build things like this? What about that? ⁓ See, there was this there was this like common facade years ago where we were all under the impression that the government needed our tax money to survive to fund the military and this, that, and the other. And, you know, th there's not a lot of tax money, and that's why our you know, our soldiers don't get paid well and all these things and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, you find out a little bit more about like this secret fund over here and that secret fund over there and this thing here that, you know, netted them a bunch of money and this thing over here that they netted a bunch of money from, and you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You guys are printing money uncontrollably. And, you know, this used to be asset based and I don't know if it ⁓ quite matches anymore, but you know, we're seeing what happens. We're seeing the money that goes missing. There's always an investigation about some sort of fraud within government. Like it happens all the fucking time. I mean, you know, and then we're you know, there's the promise of the five thousand dollar check or whatever. If guys, can we wake the fuck up a little bit and see what the fuck's going on here? This steel company, as much as I want to believe that this is a big win for the American people and it's gonna do a lot, it's more than likely not. It's not. You'll get the common story of, ⁓ yeah, that yeah, we we build these washing machines out of the steel from that steel company in Iowa. So, you know, you're getting a truly American made product. And that's why it costs seven hundred dollars more than the Chinese competitor, because it's American made. ⁓ shit. I'll take one. Come on, man. You know, if you go around, like there's a lot of prices on things that just are are They're priced certain ways because of the area. My buddy's in town right now, and we go to a store, and I was like, hey, I gotta run in the back, see if they have my coffee here. He's like, What coffee from here? I was like, Yeah, it's the same coffee I buy in my town, but it's half the price in this town. He's like, Really? I'm like, yeah. Why? I don't know. Supply and demand, they're the only one that has it, but literally, if I drive a few towns away, I could get my coffee for half the price. Where I live, it's sixteen dollars a bag. Out in this town, it's eight dollars a bag. Right. I'm shopping for Starlink in the US. I'm shopping for Starlink when I'm overseas in Europe. And it is cheaper in Europe than it is here in the US. And that's across the board with items and different things. So don't think, don't think for a second that you're going to get a better deal on an American made product because it's made here. And that's the thing that like always has chapped my ass. And I and I've always proposed this argument. Well, how is the Chinese one cheaper because they have to ship it from overseas and shipping's expensive. I don't understand. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me. So somebody's not saying something somewhere. Occasionally I'll do a giveaway on social media. Could be a book, could be a t-shirt, whatever it is. I'm like, ⁓ I haven't done a giveaway giveaway in a while. Let's let's do a giveaway. Okay, do the giveaway. International shipping of things typically costs me more than the item itself that I'm gifting. It cost me somewhere around the neighborhood of like thirty dollars to ship a book. Way more I think might have been closer to four, like thirty-five, forty dollars to ship a book to Australia to a follower. The book itself was like twelve, thirteen bucks. I shipped another book to Canada. Believe it was Canada. Again, same kind of situation. Book was under 20 bucks. Shipping to get it up there was like 24. Cost more than the book. So when you see like These washing machines and and microwaves and stoves and refrigerators and all these things. And you see that they're made in Mexico or, you know, overseas somewhere. And you you look at them and you're like, why are these ones cheaper? And they tell you, well, they're because they're not American made, blah, blah, blah. It's like, well, if it costs me, you know, X amount of dollars to ship a book to Canada and you're shipping a fucking refrigerator down and it's cheaper because it's not an American made refrigerator. That doesn't jive with me. Who's eating the shipping costs? Or are these products that cheap that most of what I'm paying for was the shipping to get it here? And is that the game? Is that the markup? Is that how it works? I don't know. But again, at the end of the day, it doesn't fucking add up. And half the things you buy are junk anyway. They're designed to fail, and you're buying them again in about five years. So there you go. Anyway, that's all the time we have for today. We'll be back here tomorrow for another excited episode of the Doom Daily Show. Producer Scooter, sir, if you would hit that button. Jester wants to thank you for listening to the Doom Daily Show.
