Chapter 3: What insights did Marco Rubio share about press handling?
The only known way to deal with toxic people is to remove them from your life and block them on all social media. Don't fall for the trap.
that if you fix their current problems it will be smooth sailing toxic people never run out of current problems so the usual frame is this person has a strong personality i must become stronger to deal with it as an equal the reframe is this person is toxic i must escape now The universe is very old in all that time. No one has ever expelled a toxic person from their life and regretted it.
You will not be the first. It's one of the few things in life that works every time. And I just wanted to drive that home. I was talking to a couple of friends in the last week that were having issues. And I don't know, maybe it's like that when you get older, you get wiser. And I mean, I'm not like 99 years old, but you do just tend to understand that
you know like sometimes people say if you don't like the players on your team get new players like the same thing if if the people in your in your life are challenging you like that and you really can step back and be like oh no no they're actually toxic don't have them in your life you know it's like just like having poison around you at all times so and again
I love that reframing. I want to add a little thing to it because it's perfect. I want to add that it's also, it's like saying people is poison, right? Some people, right? And to get rid of them right away because it's poison, right? It's like alcohol is poison, even in moderation, right?
so when it comes to those people like that is is not get away and physically but also like mentally to get them out of them uh mentally out of your head and that includes any anger you have towards them is also poison too to you not to them so i don't have a real clear reframe for that but i just wanted to add that to get them out of your head completely yeah and i also saw somebody said what if the toxicity comes from your family
Honestly, it's the same thing. You don't have to let that into your life. Like if you have to see someone, like there's a family gathering or whatever. I remember Anthony Robbins talking about this one time and he's like, make the visit as short as possible. So like if you have to see someone like, okay, like there's a family thing. don't keep yourself there. You have free will to leave.
Do we have free will? You can leave. You can make your time short. You can go in with an excuse right away like, hey, I really wanted to see everyone. I have to be somewhere later. You don't owe anyone an explanation. So I just wanted to give everybody a kiss and you move on and you go. Yeah.
yeah so like family not i mean some of the most toxic people in your life might be your family so i'm dating myself about anthony robbins well i love anthony robbins he's given lots of great advice for sure so you know yeah he's oh yeah he's still around check yourselves you guys you don't have to keep those people in your life okay so that's kind of the joke i would just add coincidentally i i did post a story about dealing with toxic people today

Chapter 4: How is China impacted by the situation in Iran?
I understand that they thought it was his eldest son, but his eldest son, it's not him. It's the second eldest that is now taking over. Maybe there'll be a short time where he I'm not sure if he's dealing with the US government.
However, this gave a lot of, I don't know how the markets are right now, but this will give kind of a push for the markets to feel like this can be done and over with faster than everybody realized. However, there's a person, a scholar I follow regarding Iran and He's Ellen Journal. And he was talking about how Venezuela is very different than Iran.
Meaning that in Venezuela, you have ideologues, but they're fake ideologues. They just pretend they're just there to be like socialists, but they want power. And that's the main thing. And they're moved differently. While he was saying that in Iran, if we tried to make a deal like we did in Venezuela, it would be very different because there,
they really are centered in Shiite beliefs, Islamic Shiite beliefs, and very ideological versus very practical. So that's what he was saying, that it might not result in the same way that Venezuela did. So I'll give the floor to Owen and everybody else.
All right. Well, certainly I think one story that I posted was from Zero Hedge. They're talking about how apparently there are some discussions with Kurdish fighters or Kurdish leaders to potentially be the resistance in Iran. I think this is potentially being floated as an alternative to having US ground troops in the area. So that's something to watch.
It's hard to know how true that is or exactly where that stands or what's gonna happen as a result of it. But there's apparently some effort to get the Kurdish forces in there to fight against the IGRC and the powers that are in Iran. There's a story about how Israel tracked down Khomeini. I would certainly put this in the category of propaganda.
The Financial Times.
Yeah, the Financial Times is where it came from originally. And they are claiming that Israel hacked into the Tehran traffic cameras and mobile phone towers and was able to track Khomeini that way. They used this unit 820B and was able to get data on the bodyguards and the drivers. They knew the parking, the routes, the duty hours. They disrupted the phone towers to block any warnings.
They used social network analysis. They had CIA human sources confirming the meeting. So there's a very detailed story around this, but I just put a big question mark around it because if the CIA had done something like this, I would just assume whatever they told me was false because Pretty consistently, we say, oh, we got to protect sources and methods.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the midterm primaries?
And they have accomplished so many objectives already. So the bright side is that that is going under is ahead of schedule. And under the budget, it looks like. So I think we have also another thing. They're saying, you know what? Don't quote us on the four-week thing. We have enough to go forever. But not to make us like, oh, we go like, no, please, no more. It's to scare the enemy, right?
So the enemy go like, oh, really? You only have four weeks of ammo? No, sir. We have a...
a lot the enemy talks yeah and then and then of course and then trump said like you know what we have so much stuff that we have hidden stuff everywhere do you hear that he said he said on his press conference yesterday that he had like stuff a stockpile everywhere so don't worry about stockpiles and timelines leave that to the professionals said the same thing today he did say like we have uh
like an enormous amount that it'll never end. And you guys know the deal. And I think Marco Rubio spoke yesterday at the press conference and I love the way Marco, I mean, I love a lot of things about him, but I love the way he handles the press. Because the press kept pounding him like, oh, you're just this really puppet or, you know, all these things, you know, they're pushing him.
And he was like, these are, you know, like fanaticals and we're trying to take them out. And here you are. And we're just we're didn't start this war. We were ending it and, you know, paraphrasing what he said. But he I love how he can control the press. And I think that's something that when Scott talked about is.
Trump changed that for candidates because I remember before Trump there being President Bush and McCain and all that and they always catered to the press but once President Trump brought in the whole fake news and uncovered them for what they are and made it known to the public now I feel like
you know it's not just marco it's many other politicians now that they're able to speak to the press and tell them no uh you're wrong or you're doing this and you're doing that i i love it but um i'll move on to the to the tuesday election results let me just throw in on the rubio point did you notice he used the he used the phrase he said we're about to unleash chang on iran
Yeah, he used that phrase.
So that's the historical reference. But it was basically referring to Chiang Kai-shek. And that was, I think, after World War II, that there was this threat to release or unleash Chiang Kai-shek to attack mainland China. And I don't think that was accidental, frankly.

Chapter 6: Who is Jasmine Crockett and what role does she play in the elections?
I mean, I'm just thinking like... How is the left going to spin this?
Because a white man won an African-American woman. How will the left spin it?
Well, my understanding is that the DNC didn't want Crockett and they were working to get this Tallarico guy elected. So they actually got what they wanted. So I don't think we're going to see a lot of upset within the Democratic Party.
No, no, not within the party because they wanted him, but I mean within their audience that does not see it that way or you don't think that they think for themselves.
None of the NGOs are going to fund their protests. That's true. It's going to be down to the organic stuff, which doesn't exist. So I don't think you're going to hear much.
I just can't wait to hear her say like, oh, I mean, she's already talking about cheating and this and that. Turn Republican. I know. Like, oh, so now there's cheating for you, but not anything else ever. It's like, oh, my God. It is like they have like whiplash these people just anyway. And why we don't just have this same voting stuff for the entire country is beyond me. Like, what is this?
Find your precinct. And just everybody.
Yeah.
Look, it surprised me because she was the only one, one of the few that she was pro Israel, too. So I was thinking, like, how can she lose to, you know, with having all that support? So let's move on.

Chapter 7: What issues are arising from the DNC's cash shortage?
There's so much technology. There's so much technology in all the trades, too. A lot of people, they just get stuck thinking that they think of the plumber, you know, that you can see his crack, you know, like while he's working in your toilet. You know, that's not it. You know, we're talking about high-tech stuff now in every trade. Right, Owen? You know that.
I want to say one other thing, too. So I have my friend. Where is Denise here? here we go. So her niece is going into college. Very, very smart girl, wealthy family, all the things. Okay. So I'm not going to show you her name or anything, but she is going to a college of technology. Um, and her major is welding and fabrication engineering and technology. That is a smart girl right there.
Her parents are doing the right thing. Look at that. Major in welding and fabrication engineering technology. Like that's the way.
There was a story. I don't know if it was Owen's story, but there was like female welders are being sought out by Aerospace, Boeing, and I don't know any other company because of how steady their hands are compared to a male's hands. So when a welder is welding, they have to keep a steady, very steady when they build things that go to space. It's very particular versus like anything else.
I don't know. Was it your story, Owen? It was just...
It doesn't sound familiar to me, but I can take a look for it. I don't know.
Shout out to those of you that remember the movie Flashdance, if you're old enough. The woman, Alex, she was a welder. She was hot. She was a dancer with the shoulders sticking out.
How did she dance?
Like a maniac. I can't do it. But I used to do it back in the day. I would try anyway. But anyway, she was a welder in that movie. So it can be sexy. She was gorgeous. Sexy. She could dance and weld. Hello.

Chapter 8: How does inflation affect capital gains taxes?
But I just love it because, you know, I'm an anime fan. I also love Japanese like Voltron, you know, all those things where you become a robot and they're building it. There was criticism of this robot because it's not very efficient, but it's cool.
Oh my God. Imagine that thing coming down the street and like you're stuck in a building in an earthquake and it just like plucks you out of the window. Holy. Yes. That's amazing. We're very horrified. No, I know. And I'm very nice to my technology too, but I don't think it's going to give a shit in the end. It's probably just going to kill me.
We have time, I guess, for another story.
Yeah, one quick story. We have time for one more.
In the distraction department, there's more UFO news. Argentina has declassified an incident in 1991 in the Antarctic Circle that apparently there was all these, they call them ryometers that were going off and that they showed impossible synced readings, meaning there were three different things that were making the same readings.
And it was something happening up in the ionosphere that it was detecting. But it was basically saying the only way these readings could have happened is if something like the size of an aircraft carrier that was nuclear powered or the size of a city was up there. And apparently people went outside and they did see some kind of big glowing
orb or something that was way up in the sky over in arctica um and uh you know they're they're claiming that there's no way these sensors could have been like just a an anomaly or you know it seemed like there really had to be something huge up there but um this world so there's apparently some massive craft that was there over 1991 in arctica and then um
there's a retired major general neil mccasland um and he used to be overseeing some of this stuff basically like he was thought to be maybe one of the people that was going to be doing some of this ufo disclosure uh he he used to oversee kirkland air force base and write wright patterson uh which is you know tied into the roswell stories he's missing though
um so nobody knows where he is and they're looking for him there's rewards out i think and anybody if you there's what they call a silver alert i didn't know there was such a thing maybe that's like the amber alert but for older people there is in california there is okay so there's a silver alert out on him and the fbi is looking into it they're trying to find this guy so do they say when he was last seen
