Benjamin at Yah, who gave him credit for 192 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.000 thinking outside the box. 193 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:39.360 You see things others refuse to see. You say things 194 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.960 others refuse to say. And on after the jaws drop, 195 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.519 people scratch their heads and they say, you know he's right. 196 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.519 Hamas called the remarks ridiculous, says that they run the 197 00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.000 risk of igniting the area. Negotiations are set to resume 198 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.759 between Israel and Hamas to extend a ceasefire. 199 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.000 We'll see what this does to that. I don't even 200 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.799 understand how he thinks the United States somehow just takes 201 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.440 control of an area like that. 202 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.200 No, and I think Netanyahu is being cheeky. 203 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:13.000 Oh. 204 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.000 I love that he's thinking outside the box. Is a 205 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.519 crazy ass guy. Well thinks he's going to have a 206 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.399 say on what goes on in the Middle East. 207 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.120 To give an idea perhaps of what it seems he's 208 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.240 thinking about. He's discussing this as. This is the Mediterranean, 209 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.000 This has the potential to be a beautiful vacation spot. 210 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.279 We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. 211 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.879 And I don't want to be cute, I don't want 212 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.120 to be a wise guy. But the riviera of the 213 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.559 Middle East, this could be something that could be so bad. 214 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.519 This could be so magnificent. 215 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.879 Bring on the operol sprits in the yachts. 216 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.639 Let's go with this. The AP writes it up and 217 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.480 says it was not immediately clear whether the idea of 218 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.080 taking over the Gaza Strip was a well thought out 219 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.559 plan or an opening gambit in negotiations. Well, let me see, 220 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.679 how does he work, what is his past, what kind 221 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.559 of track record does he have. Of course, this isn't 222 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.960 a well thought out plan. He says things like this, 223 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.879 to move the needle and to put the onus on 224 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.960 whoever the other party happens to be in this case. 225 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.120 He's talking about these other Arab states in the region 226 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.159 who would be asked to take in two million displaced 227 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.240 Palestinians members of the Gaza Strip. Now a bunch of 228 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.120 them have already said that they are not interested in 229 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.960 doing that. Saudi Arabia, obviously, the Kingdom of has said 230 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.960 we won't recognize Israel unless there is a two state 231 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.399 solution to the conflict, which would mean they have to 232 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.480 rebuild Gaza, and Gaza has to be a place for 233 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.200 Palestinians as opposed to a place owned by the United 234 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.240 States and controlled by the United States. 235 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.559 Well, I'm ready to read all the Elon Musk books 236 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.200 of him running a shadow government the richest man in 237 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.600 the world, slowly taking over the country behind the scenes, 238 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.399 behind the curtain. 239 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.360 This is going to be some good reading eventually, isn't it. 240 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.159 That's the whole Doge issue in Washington, d C. Is 241 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.000 pretty is pretty hot right. 242 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.440 Now, Hey, Shannon. I reduce my cholesterol by twenty five 243 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.879 percent from over to fifty two below two hundred by 244 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.039 aggressively cutting out saturated fats. 245 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.720 Is that bacon? 246 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:32.440 That means no dairy, no, no cheese, oils and oil, 247 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.720 staying away from those fatty products period. 248 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:39.799 I don't see that happening anytime soon. 249 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.039 I'm not going to stay away from meat and cheese. 250 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:45.759 Are you serious? 251 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.000 Hey?

It's just being fifty. Yeah, welcome, 258 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.759 I do. I do say this. So after I went 259 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.440 to baseball camp for a week, I was I was 260 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.440 pretty sore, I was pretty slow, and I felt great 261 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.279 because I took everything very careful. The days after that, 262 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.960 any exercise I did was pretty low intensity, just to 263 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.919 get back and onto the horse. I realized that if 264 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.720 I sit around and don't do anything and I don't 265 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.080 I don't strain the muscles or whatever, I don't run 266 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.279 and I feel okay, that's almost the that's the bad part. 267 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.480 If I feel like, gosh, there's nothing that hurts on 268 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.039 me right now because you're not using it right, that's 269 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.759 the thing. Now, I know, if I feel sore or something, 270 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.399 at least I did something right. Anyway. 271 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.720 Elon, are we done with our ailments? Mary and Joseph? 272 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.559 Where's the Bengo? Where's the bingo today? Is it in 273 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:03.679 the memory care wing? 274 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:04.240 Oh? 275 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.279 Maybe maybe we'll have to get wheeled in there, see 276 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:07.720 how it goes. 277 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.799 Oh, Jacob, could you hey, you need to transport bedsword 278 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.519 treatment in one hour. 279 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:19.080 Don't forget wound care comes this afternoon. This is not funny, 280 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.159 I know. Anti immigration policy protests over the last few 281 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.120 days here in LA and now a movement to oppose 282 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.879 some of the early action is of the Trump administration 283 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.639 are planned for around the country. Fifty protests fifty states. 284 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.159 The movement was organized under the hashtags. Are we still 285 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.200 doing hashtags? I thought we didn't need to use hashtags. 286 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:40.679 I thought that that was kind of pass. 287 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.840 Hashtag build the Resistance and hashtag fifty fifty one five 288 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.679 OHO five oh one, which stands for the fifty protests 289 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.360 fifty states when many of them are planned at state capitals. 290 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.039 The flyers that have been circulating online say they're targeting 291 00:13:55.080 --> 00:14:00.440 Project twenty twenty five, which again I also thought that anyway. 292 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.000 California US Attorney Rob BoNT Attorney General Rob Bonta says 293 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.840 he's not going to run for governor. He said if 294 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.879 Kamala Harris runs, he would support former Vice president. She 295 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.320 has not said she wants to get into this, but 296 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.320 you have a bunch of other people who have already said. 297 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:21.159 Antonio Viragosa is one of them. The current the current 298 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.879 not vice governor, lieutenant governor. Why I think vice governor 299 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.200 Lieutenant governor Landy Kunalakas has said that she would be running. 300 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.720 Tony Thurman a couple other people as well so well. 301 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.240 In a little more than two weeks since Trump took office, 302 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.639 Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has created an alternative 303 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.000 power structure inside the federal government. His purpose is to 304 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.000 cut spending and push out employees. None of this is 305 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:53.919 happening with congressional approval, which invites a constitutional question over 306 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.600 limits of presidential authority. It seems like Musk is doing 307 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.960 Trump's bidding. Been named as a special government employee, which 308 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.200 means less stringent rules when it comes to ethics financial 309 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.799 disclosures than other workers. Trump has given Musk office space 310 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.879 in the White House. He oversees the team of people 311 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.600 at the DOZE the government, Department of Government Government, the 312 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:23.200 Department of Government Efficiency. This team has been dispersed throughout 313 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:28.159 federal agencies to gather information, deliver edicts. This whole what 314 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.799 is it USAID situation that's going to look like a 315 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.120 tea party compared to the uprising that happens when they 316 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.360 start digging in their teeth into other departments. 317 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.519 Yeah. And one of the issues that has come up 318 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.600 that I've heard the question asked, why are these agencies 319 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.679 so up in arms about somebody coming in and checking 320 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.960 out what's going on with the books. Why are they 321 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.240 so afraid of publication of where the money is going. 322 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.080 It's the government, It should be available to us on 323 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:58.080 a regular basis. 324 00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:59.200 I understand. 325 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.440 I don't understand because I'm not in your shoes, but 326 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.519 I can begin to understand. I think the hell that 327 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.360 this is causing federal employees who don't know the fate 328 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.039 of their job status. Sure that have no role in 329 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.159 creating the bloated government that has been created throughout the decades, 330 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.480 that have no role in saying that they're charging too 331 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.759 much for every pencil and every chair. 332 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.639 There are the job who just actually work for the. 333 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:35.200 Federal government, whether it be remotely or in DC or 334 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.679 locally or whatever, who do their jobs every day, and 335 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.480 now we're on the chopping block because of how badly 336 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.399 managed it is at the top. And I feel for 337 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.399 people like that sucks. That would suck if I came 338 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.200 in every day and if I just did a really 339 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.720 good job at my job, but the people above me 340 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.639 had just been fat cows and just been completely screwing 341 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.399 it all up and mucking it up and having these 342 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.759 inflated unnecessarily so budgets. I get it, but be frustrated 343 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.680 at the system at all of it, you know. But 344 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.799 I guess it's an easy thing for me to say 345 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.240 when my job that I know of is not on 346 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.480 the chopping block right now. 347 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.759 But that I. 348 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.359 Mean, I understand it really sucks for hundreds of thousands 349 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.000 of people who don't know if they're just going to 350 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.119 be slashed because of how mismanaged it is at the top. 351 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.799 Well, it doesn't make sense to me to demonize Elon 352 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.559 Musk because he's the rich guy.
