Thank you for Simply Vibin with us!

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, wait a minute. So, christy, guess what this is. This is where we're at.

Speaker 2:

No Simply vibing with Christy Chanel and Phoebe James.

Speaker 1:

It's going to be that kind of night.

Speaker 2:

Let's go. Gonna be that kind of night, let's go. We are back for another episode of simply vibing and I figured it was a good time to kind of go over what's happened since the last time we recorded was, um, it's been a couple weeks, right has it been two?

Speaker 1:

I guess two isn't that what we're normally doing, or that's what we say we're gonna do too?

Speaker 2:

this is what we say um so I oh my god, I screwed up what'd you do?

Speaker 1:

you don't see her oh it's a whole dog fight happening behind me, my bad that's okay.

Speaker 2:

That's okay, it adds. It adds to the video there you go the video?

Speaker 1:

um, okay, maybe not okay, sky and misty get out out, you two out. What do you say? What?

Speaker 2:

First of all, that wasn't just like hey, that was like I'm gonna freaking, tear your face off.

Speaker 1:

So what happens is the two little girls. They like to wrestle and play around, but my old man, blue, is not having it, so he'll go and break them up, especially if he knows that you know they're getting on my nerves. Okay, kick them out and blue can stay. So he's a favorite home right now, which is a good thing because it less noise from my son, but a bad thing because my dogs are unattended and they're just a mess.

Speaker 2:

So you can't win for winning, not here nope, um, okay, well, I can tell you that I have been using chat gpt for my news okay, how do you use it for news?

Speaker 2:

uh well, my last episode on love you miss you bye. I did and I put in. I said tell me how the laws or executive orders that are being trying to be passed or passed around the us are affecting women's rights, and that my whole episode was based on that. It gave me the top safest states to live, so I did a top four and so before I got on this episode with you, I went and I typed in give me the news around the us, the political news around the us today okay, because it's yeah I mean it's the only way to really keep that it's.

Speaker 1:

It's happening so fast that's what I was saying. Yeah, you can't go back to like over the past week because it'd be too much. So what is the newest news today?

Speaker 2:

Um well. I'm interested in what ChatGPT is going to say yeah, I actually kind of love it.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know if I would because I was always like you know, I don't know about ChatGPT, but it is. It's actually pulling and it gives you sources from where it pulled from so you can actually cite. You know it's where it's pulling and in this one it's pulling the New York Post dot com, rutgers dot com, the Guardian dot com, and then it's got a bunch of lists at the bottom too. So I mean I feel fairly comfortable that this is going to give me accurate information. But before I get into it, I did want to say I think we should add a segment at the end of every show. That is good news and we have to think of what we want to call this segment. It's up for grabs If you have any ideas or anybody at home has any ideas. Good news is is a way to say it, but I think it should have a little flair to it.

Speaker 1:

Okay. You know yeah. Kind of like when we used to do our burning topics. Yes, we need a good news. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a good news segment, and I think we should do it before the end of the show so that everybody at least ends on some type of optimism, because we're getting dark lately that's where the us is at.

Speaker 1:

I won't even say head.

Speaker 2:

And we're there, we're, we're there, yeah yeah, so some of the topics that it pulled up. Um, I typed in what is some American political news. Hold on, says. Elon Musk commends federal workforce reduction. Amid legal proceedings, elon Musk praised the Department of Government Efficiency Doge for its for its efforts to reduce the federal workforce. For its efforts to reduce the federal workforce. This comes after a judge allowed the Trump administration's mass federal layoffs to proceed during ongoing legal challenges. At the Conservative Political Action Conference, cpac, musk reiterated criticisms of Ukraine and suggested distributing savings from workforce reductions as dividends to Americans. The administration is also considering dismantling the IRS and cutting the defense budget. Kash Patel was narrowly confirmed as the FBI director, raising concerns about potential political influence over the bureau. Additionally, president trump faces backlash for planning a statue garden emphasizing black american heroes as part of black history month celebrations. There's more, but that's just the start. Okay, okay, so big day, yay. Well, it looks like we got a new um fbi director, kash patel this is do you know anything about him?

Speaker 1:

I know he's not someone we want to head our fbi. I know that much. Why? What have you heard? Uh, he's he's a trump loyalist. So I mean, I just want someone that's gonna maybe have an opposing. You know, like when they're all there, he's just putting his loyalists in everywhere, and that's scary, honestly, if he also controls the fbi, he's trying to like basically get a big power grab over every area he can. You know he's trying to put loyalists in there instead of someone who might really challenge him on some of this stuff he's doing. And so that's that's. My biggest concern is just the loyalty to Trump and to do whatever he wants, and we see his ideas are not the best.

Speaker 2:

No, and I would agree, I would definitely agree that he is trying to put people that I mean I think it's known anybody that kind of falls in favor with anything he says, which is just scary and scary in general, because I'm not in favor of him. You know what I mean. Does I don't know?

Speaker 1:

I don't know.

Speaker 2:

No, I was just OK. So. So the reason I went off in La La Land just now and had a thought and then stop myself was because there's this thing going around to all the conservative side that they're going to get money back. They're getting eight thousand dollars a a stimulus check that I'm hearing everything about. The MAGA supporters, or Republican supporters, believe they're getting money back from all this found money that Doge has found, and one of the rumors is the $8,000 stimulus. So I went and I looked it up and it says that has not been a proven fact. There is no fact that says everybody's getting $8,000. One of the videos I saw said you have to have MAGA apparel to be able to be eligible for this $8,000.

Speaker 1:

There's no.

Speaker 2:

Or a Trump I know, or a trump I know, or a trump something of trump, and you have to prove it, um, as a way to get this eight thousand dollars. So first I'm like what the fuck like? I was nervous, you know. Then I looked and I was like obviously there's no validity to it yeah but then then doge, uh, or elon, who, again they say, is not in charge of Doge. You hear that All of a sudden he's not in charge of Doge. Oh, who's in charge then? Not him, the.

Speaker 1:

Airbnb guy, oh, ok.

Speaker 2:

He's Trump's Sure, he's not.

Speaker 1:

Blackie, oh wait, I don't know. No, actually I think trump is elon lackey.

Speaker 2:

I think it's the other way around, given that elon's doing press conferences in the mobile office and such um well, my thing is that, uh, there, there's a reason and I don't know what it is, but there's a reason that they're separating Elon now from Doge. I don't know if it has to do with legal filings or something where they have to actually show there's a separation. I'm not sure what the theory is behind that whole thing, but it just came out like because, you know, in the beginning trump came out and said this was elon was leading this, so there's no consistence. I'm I don't know what the game plan is, but there's something strange happening and I am not sure what it is I haven't heard that they're distancing elon from the agency.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I heard he's, I hadn't heard any difference. I did hear that the ceo, or founder ceo, of airbnb joined his team. Um, so that means I have to add airbnb to my list of boycotts.

Speaker 1:

Places to boycott, uh yeah, I saw that yeah, I haven't heard that he's he's moving away from it. Um, that is interesting. I I mean it. Maybe, you know, maybe they're trying to do the right thing and think about how there's such a conflict of interest with him being the person right in this agency while also over here, you know, with basic cash grab, getting all these contracts. Maybe, I mean I doubt that it's for the reason of we're going to be ethical and have integrity. It's, there's something else going on there, like you said, what is the reason of? Oh, we're going to be ethical and have integrity, there's something else going on there. Like you said, what is the reason?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's something behind it, there's a strategy behind it, but I haven't figured out what that is. I'm sure it'll come out, we'll figure out what that is. But as I was talking about the stimulus check, I did see something come out afterwards about this, so I pulled it up. The stimulus um. The New York Post says Trump weighing doge dividend to send taxpayer checks with saved funds. Here's how much Americans could get, and this was published yesterday at 7 20 pm.

Speaker 2:

President trump said wednesday he's considering returning 20 percent of the savings from elon musk's department of doge directly to taxpayers, potentially putting thousands of dollars in the pockets of america struggling under inflation. There's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20 percent of the doge savings to american citizens and 20 percent goes to paying down debt. Trump said in a miami beach speech to non-profit funded by saudi arabia sovereign wealth fund. The numbers are incredible elon so many billion, hundreds of saved, so many billions and hundreds of saved. We we're thinking about giving 25% back. I mean, this is. I want to believe this, but I can't, I'm still doing.

Speaker 1:

I'm doing the math because I'm like they're going to get these savings and they're going to give 20% back to the American people and 20% towards the debt. Where's the other 60% going? You know, it's like the math ain't mathing. Where's the other 60% going? Maybe back?

Speaker 2:

into the areas that they started in.

Speaker 1:

More contracts with Tesla and SpaceX Probably.

Speaker 2:

But I think it's really important to know whether this is. Trump doesn't tell the truth, right? No, he doesn't. It's propaganda at its greatest and I'm seeing the is is. I'm seeing this everywhere. People believe this. Well, it's like yeah, it's on facebook.

Speaker 1:

If they do it, it's not at all to benefit people. It's to benefit loyalty and to, like, solidify all these mega people that they're going to stay on board and allow all the bullshit to happen that they're trying to. Actually, you know what they want to happen. That's what it is, I I mean. And the savings from doge is already dropping. I just saw that the estimates have already.

Speaker 1:

In two days, elon went from you know we're going to save 16 billion to okay, it's 9 billion, like it's changing. He doesn't even know what he's doing. He doesn't even know he's just doing stuff blindly. And I don't know that I want the money. If it's like gain through laying off people and all the stuff that they're doing, cutting agencies we need. You know, like a lot of these agencies, they're gutting. It's because they're under investigation by these agencies. You know Trump and Elon themselves they're going to benefit directly from these agencies. They're gutting because you know they're not going to come investigate me and my shitty business practices and my safety problems, because I know some of what they're doing is like you know, tesla was under investigation for safety issues, got that department. Now I'm no longer under investigation. I mean, that's what he's really doing with all this Doge stuff.

Speaker 2:

It's, it's sad yeah, it's a distraction and I think the crazier and the more insane things are that they put out there, which they're doing on purpose to distract you from over here yeah, so it's a play, it's a play, so I saw. I don't know if you see saw, but on X I'm not on X, I get pulled into X when I see certain things happening. So I want to see the facts. If it really did, the White House posted a picture of Trump in a crown and said long live the king.

Speaker 1:

The White House. I think that was on Time Magazine's cover. But the White House put it on there, I'm not surprised said long live the king. That's what he wants, if he can, he wants to be an authoritarian leader. He does not want to give up power, he wants to yeah.

Speaker 2:

OK, that what you said makes a lot more sense. So Time magazine put this out. And then there are. Is the Time magazine article saying this is how he wants to be viewed, or was it? I just satire.

Speaker 1:

I just saw the cover and I don't really know.

Speaker 2:

Because it would make more sense if the White House reposted it to kind of make it sound like yay, they, like you know, I'm just trying to see their, their angle, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

Wait a minute. So, christy, guess what this is? This is where we're at. No, it was a fake Time magazine cover. The White House created and shared a fake Time magazine cover. The white house created and shared a fake time magazine cover. That's even worse.

Speaker 2:

It is they created this motherfucking cover.

Speaker 1:

They created this that's what I'm seeing, because I literally saw it and I was like, oh, I mean, I wasn't surprised that something time magazine would do, but I just looked it up because I was like what, what was the content behind it? And it says in place of oh yeah, that's, that's scary, if. Could you imagine if obama did that?

Speaker 2:

no, could you imagine no, so is that a thing now? Do we all get to make time?

Speaker 1:

time covers I mean is that it's sad when the white house, like the top of your government, is posting fake news and you? How the hell can you even decipher anymore?

Speaker 2:

you can't, and that's why I'm like I don't know, is this true? Is this not true? I, I'm, I'm well, it's true, they, they posted it, but yes, yes, yes, but I mean every story now it's like is it? It's like not only do you hear people, random people on social media saying whatever the hell they want to say, secretary, and everyone surrounding this environment is spitting false narratives or or lies, and then you have a whole group of people that are believing it and then it's causing more of a divide.

Speaker 2:

It's just, it's this spinning wheel. It's just, it's this spinning wheel. Yeah, and apparently, you know, you know, trump was a felon. Yes, and he has his the picture from when they took it, from when he went to jail.

Speaker 1:

They got outside the White House, the Oval Office, his mugshot.

Speaker 2:

Where are we at?

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying where are we at as a country right now, where this is what's happening? I'd be embarrassed if the CEO of my company did that, let alone the president. Yeah, like once again. Could you imagine if Obama did that? Could you even no? Like once again, could you imagine if obama did that? Could you even no? That's what's crazy is. Trump was one of the biggest like people bashing obama, and you know someone who was just so against him. Oh my god, where's his birth certificate? Yet here he is letting the south african run the government. He's such a hypocrite.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, also, you know how in the past we've talked about how they're trying to whitewash history and how it's a big deal, you know. Take away what really happened in history. Yeah, you know that one of the areas that he got he's gutting is the is the archive, and the archivist was just laid off. Now I don't like her anyway because she would not put it in the constitution that. You know the era. Yeah, I don't like her, but either does he.

Speaker 1:

Apparently he freaking fired her but that's a concern that they're firing her because like she's a loyalist, isn't she? I don't know, well, obviously not if they fired her, no, but but no, but I think she is I'm, I'm.

Speaker 2:

I need to see more about this girl I don't know much about her.

Speaker 1:

I just if I see it as a problem that they're firing the person that holds our historical records and and is the archivist and responsible, that when we know that trump is trying to change history, like you said I mean we already know what he's, what's going on here and he's getting rid of the people Once again, that's going to stop him. I think he's fired every inspector general. That once again helps. You know, stop corruption and hold Places. You know the agency is accountable. It's Frustrating.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it is, it is, it's, it's worrisome yeah, so I have, um, I did kind of go through and compile a list because I was how many people has he laid off at this point?

Speaker 1:

You know, okay, I don't understand why nobody's thinking about that at all. Like, usually we're so worried about employment and we want the president to help us grow jobs, not, but anyways, you know, we're in upside down world now where we celebrate this type of stuff. I guess, um, so, yeah, just since I mean trump's only been in office a month, and how much stuff has already happened, but in the past just a month, he's, um, he has instructed government heads to hire no more than one employee for every four employees who are fired or quit, so that's Seventy five. I mean, you know, like, that's that's one side of it, like let's just get rid of people through attrition, so even if someone just quits, because we're not replacing them, obviously, on top of that, he sent the buyout offer to all of the federal employees. Did you know about that one where, yeah, he said you can retire immediately and we'll give you pay and benefits through October? How that sure it saves us money? I don't know. 77,000 people, honestly, have already taken that offer. 77?

Speaker 1:

77 77 000 took the buyout offer. Okay, uh, but I think a judge is looking at it. They put a hold on the offer in general and I don't know if it's gonna like the 77 000 might still be honored, but they put a hold on it otherwise because they weren't sure if it was even legal for him to be doing that. But uh, do you hear it? Can you hear?

Speaker 2:

my dog. I hear her he's sad too.

Speaker 1:

Overall, this is what it is. Um, leaders across the government told to fire all of their probationary employees, and so overall, that is about 200 000 to 220 000. That's what estimates are. That that's what they're looking at next, um, I think very recently, the va has already laid off a thousand people because, you know, veterans just have entirely too much support.

Speaker 2:

So wait, OK, I'm glad you brought that up. What? What have they cut for the VA?

Speaker 1:

I just know they laid off already a thousand workers. That's a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, a thousand workers. A thousand workers already at the VA.

Speaker 2:

And I know that some of those workers worked the suicide hotline. Is that correct? That's what I've heard. Yeah, a thousand workers already at the VA, 72% higher risk of suicide than those who haven't served, 72% higher. And they are taking away their lifeline, their chance at living, if they they can serve for our country, for us to make sure that is heartbreaking.

Speaker 1:

That's what they should say. If we're getting savings anywhere, it should be reinvested in places like care for our veterans, like it's so sad how our veterans get treated. That's why I don't understand, like, what they are doing with the money. You know some of these contracts elon's already gotten. You know 400 million for tesla trucks. That 400 million should go to veteran services. Then we, I it's just there's so many priorities out there and they they're not at all putting America first. I mean, that's their slogan and I just don't see how they're doing that. I don't see.

Speaker 2:

He agrees. I think that's something that you and I have definitely covered over the years. I'll wait for you. Um, can you hear me? No, can you hear me? I can't hear you. I know, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

no I'd muted myself when my dog started tripping. I forgot. That's why my bad no, no worries.

Speaker 2:

Um, I was gonna say, veterans is something that we've actually covered a few times on code green plant yeah we've had veterans on the show multiple times and your stepdad um was a vet, uh-huh I got several cousins, my nephew, all of them yeah, it's something that you are really, really involved in, and so I'm just I'd like to, I definitely want to cover this more and just kind of see where they're trying to cut there, because it's the most anti-American thing to do in my mind.

Speaker 1:

It is, I mean, and they're trying to cut benefits to them. They're trying to cut all kinds of social service benefits. That again, how is that putting america first, I don't. When they're wanting to buy the gaza strip, on the other hand, or not, just take the gaza strip, remember we talked about that on our last episode. I still can't get over that. Uh, yeah, but I don't. I don't know granularly where these people are getting laid off, like what departments. They're trying to say like, oh, it's all non-essential people, but clearly I mean. Another one I had right here is that the US Department of Agriculture laid off a bunch of workers who are working on the bird flu outbreak and they're like they didn't even mean to let them go. They accidentally sent them termination notices. These people left and now they're trying to bring them back and they can't even get a hold of them because they didn't get their information.

Speaker 2:

Well, she's in the database which she's got everybody's information.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's obviously not working. I mean, I don't know if they've came back since then or not, but and then, uh, the department of health and human services, indian health service so another cause I'd be greatly. Uh, they around told 950 employees that they'd be getting laid off, but then later in the day they said, oh, never mind that's a roller coaster from hell, is it?

Speaker 2:

oh my god, imagine that you're gonna be laid off and then, oh, never mind, just kidding.

Speaker 1:

And how is any of this efficient? Like this is the most poorly planned, inefficient waste of time for anybody, I mean. But National Institutes of Health. Between 1,000 and 1,200 employees have received termination notices just over the past weekend. The CDC has sent out 750 termination notices, the Energy Department 2,000. Yeah, let's see Education services. At least 50 employees who are in probationary period were fired without cause, like they were just told you're fired, nothing else we don't even do. Like who does that? No fault, yeah, it's a thing, but you don't really do it, you know. Agreed.

Speaker 2:

You buy paper trail, everything's documented, everything you. But the government doesn't have to do it, so fuck it.

Speaker 1:

They don't, and they're still looking at laying off thousands at the irs, hundreds at homeland security. Uh, the cdc said that they're. They're told to cut at least 10 percent of their workforce. So it's just how do you?

Speaker 2:

feel about the irs being cut like. Do you have any feelings about that? What?

Speaker 1:

do you mean what? Like going away, like how they're saying you just do away with it well, I mean okay.

Speaker 2:

So say, you owe a lot of money um, and they're firing people.

Speaker 1:

It's bad, it's good, it's almost good if you owe a lot of money and it's bad if you're getting a refund but it's also, I feel like it's bad if you're owe a lot of money, because it also means you don't have people hounding you for that money. But guess what, the government still wants their money. So I don't see it. I mean, I see that I don't know, like you know what I mean they're going to allow you to get delinquent and allow you to not pay it, so then they can just throw your ass in jail.

Speaker 2:

That's tax evasion. If you file you're not going to jail, you're not hiding, you're not doing anything illegal, but if you're not paying it, they're not going to get their money.

Speaker 1:

Well, okay. They will put your assets on hold and seize all your property and your bank accounts. So it still benefits the government.

Speaker 2:

If you don't pay the government, the IRS that's what they do, I know, but like, okay, so the connection between the IRS and the government, does the government get paid by the IRS or do they?

Speaker 1:

fund them. Fund them. Taxes are what funds the government. So if they get rid of the IRS, how's the government going to have any money to do anything? How are we going to pay off the trillions of dollars in debt we're in if there's no tax money flowing in?

Speaker 2:

well, with the 20 percent that they're going to find they found from doge, I mean really if they just started taxing some of these corporations, we probably could get out of debt quickly.

Speaker 1:

You know tesla paid zero dollars in taxes last year. I pay more than Tesla in taxes.

Speaker 2:

That is fucked up, phoebe, wow and a lot of the big corporations.

Speaker 1:

They get refunds like hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mm-hmm, if they, yeah, and I pay more than Elon Musk.

Speaker 2:

That is crazy. I see what you're saying'm just uh, why do they so the tariffs are supposed to make up? I'm just trying to understand. Honestly, this is me, the novice, trying to understand how it all ties together, which I'm sure some listeners out there are just like me. Like well, uh, a plus a plus b equals None of it.

Speaker 2:

It's just we're trying to make it make sense, and so if you figure, if we got rid of the IRS, which everyone's excited about possibly everyone, people that don't know about and understand how it all plays together I can't help feel a little excitement about it. Maybe I shouldn't, obviously, but they're talking about getting rid of it, altogether, getting rid of it. So obviously there's well. I'd like to think there's a plan. I know there's probably not, but if we were trying to think like really smart political people, political people they're saying that the tariffs will balance out us not having to have taxes taken out of our check, right?

Speaker 2:

I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I know they're saying that, but I don't think that and well, I just had a thought of you know what he's not said. Maybe they want to get rid of the irs and they just are going to have the government like he's going to make his own department to just collect the money directly from us and put it right under his own account. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Like okay, I mean, I wonder if it's something like that, like because when they say we're going to get rid of the irs, are they also like what? What is it going to entail? Is it just going to be a shift of they don't do it anymore, we have another department do it, we have somebody elon contract it out, or well, I'm gonna ask chat, elon's gonna make ai, that's gonna do it for, for us. Instead of the irs it's gonna be the ais, what, what?

Speaker 2:

are we doing? There's got to be something strategic. I just said, if trump gets rid of the ir, what's the plan? I asked chat.

Speaker 1:

GPT. What's chat?

Speaker 2:

GPT going to give us he's giving us me a whole paragraph. All right, president, donald Trump has announced plans to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and eliminate federal income taxes aiming to fund the government, primarily through increased tariffs on imported goods. Through increased tariffs on imported goods, commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick detailed this strategy, suggesting that imposing reciprocal tariffs could generate approximately $700 billion annually, sufficient to offset the federal deficit and reduce the need for income taxes. To manage these revenues, the administration proposes establishing an external revenue service focused on collecting funds from foreign entities. This approach harks back to the pre-1913 era, when tariffs were the main source of federal revenue. However, economists and policymakers have raised concerns about the feasibility of this plan in the modern global economy, warning of potential inflationary effects and questioning its sustainability.

Speaker 1:

I mean that is a concern. That's not sustainable, it's not. And I mean, if they, if say they were to do that, trust me, we're going to, we're going to get taxed even harder because those tariffs are going to be passed along to us. You think any, any, any entity is going to absorb that? No, they're going to pass it along to the consumer, which is us. So Bad plan, bad plan.

Speaker 2:

OK, well, that is the plan, and I don't know how you can abolish something. I don't know where it has to pass, where it has to go to um, I mean, he's, he's, he's a fucking cowboy for real.

Speaker 1:

He's just in there doing shit, gunslinging, like he's not caring about the law, christy, okay. So whether it's legal or illegal, he does not give a shit. That's why he fired all the inspector generals so that he can do it anyways. I mean, he's done a lot of stuff that it's like that. That's not a power the president has and the government, they're just letting him do it. I mean, they're just like, yeah, go for it, the door is open, trump, go for it. Like no more rule of law. And it's crazy to me because, once again, could you, could you even fathom if obama did half this shit? These same people that are letting trump rolling out the red carpet for trump to do it would be throwing a fit. They'd be, you know, having their pitchforks if obama did any of this. But since it's trump, red carpet, sir, because he's helping line all their fucking pockets, yep yep, um, I'm concerned, obviously I'm concerned, um, I'm just, I guess.

Speaker 2:

I guess, when you have all these things being thrown at you once, such as, uh, you know, mind-blowing things like jaw dropping things, like Nazi stuff and salutes, and just things that I don't think you ever thought you'd see in your lifetime, right, because it was way before us that this, a lot of this stuff was happening, and you read about it in books and history and and, and have friends or families that have actually gone through that and they have it in their, their lineage and it's, it's happening in ours and the craziest part of it is Half of, well, the Republican Party not all, I'm not going to generalize everybody, but don't see it happening. Still, right, they think we're crazy.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand. I want to ask Trump supporters every day, like is this what you intended? Like, be honest, is this what you voted for? We're only a month in. Imagine in a year. That makes me cringe, you see. I just like, oh yeah, physical reaction. Oh yeah, thinking about imagine if this shit goes on for another year. Then imagine in a year. That makes me cringe, you see, I just like, oh yeah, physical reaction. Oh yeah, thinking about imagine if this shit goes on for another year. Um, yeah, I, I hope that. I mean, some people are saying that you know he's gonna. It's, he's gonna be his own demise. He's gonna be the master of his own demise. You know, you give someone enough rope and just see, do they hang themselves or climb it? He's fucking hanging himself and I do hope that you know, eventually he's just gonna go too far and do too much, him and his buddies. But I don't know, I don't know um.

Speaker 2:

so I have another thing to throw at you and I want to get your opinion if you think that there is um something behind it. Um, plane crashes, plane fucking crashes, and there was another one yesterday and it's all Phoenix Like. What the fuck Like really?

Speaker 1:

I didn't hear the where. I didn't even hear it. My husband told me about it today and I did not hear about it. It wasn't commercial. Well, I will say so.

Speaker 1:

I the other day I went to the FAA website to look at some stuff because I had heard about several crashes. I'm like what happened and I wanted to see if people survived in one in particular. And I ended up on the FAA page and they have a whole like page where they have to post every type of emergency called in on from a plane and I was honestly surprised at how many there were this year. So I I'm, yeah, but I mean, I am very freaked out at all these crashes. It is, it's concerning, and I don't know what could be behind it. Like I don't know other than like the world itself is just really like we're really in the end times, type shit. I don't really even know anymore. I used to think that was like no way, but now I'm like I don't. I mean the way elon coming in here, he's kind of looking like the Antichrist, I don't know him.

Speaker 2:

And Trump, honestly she's like he's not from the right country and I'm like I don't even know where the antichrist is supposed to be from. I just know he fits the mark of the beast type stuff and it's a lot of it. Yes, I and, and maybe we just need a label to show how evil it can possibly become yeah um for us to all kind of to to reach somebody like hey this is where I'm at. Where are you at?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, these plane things. I think it's honestly just a sign of the energy in the world right now. I don't know, you know it's like I don't know, but it's something very strange. I don't think aliens would do that, you don't. No, I think this world is just so off balance right now. That's a whole other tangent.

Speaker 2:

No, go ahead. This is the place.

Speaker 1:

Well, I've been saying for years now I think the rotation of the Earth is like spinning. We're spinning faster, like it just keeps getting faster and things just get out of balance. I mean, you know the universe is expanding and I mean I don't know.

Speaker 2:

No, it's OK. There's an asteroid heading towards us in 3032 or 2032, something like that it's.

Speaker 1:

It's crazy and creepy that now plays are falling out of the sky too, like I don't know what is next. I guess that's what it is. It's like we're really living. The people alive right now have really been through so many big, huge, worldwide, you know, life-altering things that most generations don't see this, many of them repeatedly, and at this point it's just a snowball effect like it's huge and it's every day and I don't know. We're just living in. We're living in the time of change.

Speaker 2:

And hopefully we will, you know, come out of it better? No, I think so, but I mean, yeah, I was right, the collide with Earth in 2032. I just wanted to look up the date so I could verify that.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever seen?

Speaker 2:

Don't Look Up, don't Look Up, don't Look Up, don't know who's in it Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaker 1:

There's some other really famous people. I can't remember who, but I know he's one of the main.

Speaker 2:

And what's it about?

Speaker 1:

I think is in it. Who else is in it? It is about like that an asteroid about to hit the Earth and scientists are like sounding the alarm and trying to tell the president you need to watch it because it's honestly going to feel familiar. Like maybe that's why I don't want to watch it. Like maybe that's why I don't want to watch it because the president is so just like into reality TV and like living like a reality star instead of the president. Sound familiar that they're not acknowledging that is happening and the whole world is just like ignoring it and acting like everything's fine and the scientists are like break it out and lo and behold, that's the end of the movie.

Speaker 2:

Maybe we should put a disclaimer.

Speaker 1:

What year was it? No, it's a newer movie. It's a newer.

Speaker 2:

It came out yesterday. Take out that part, just take out the part that.

Speaker 1:

I just said what happened in the end. I'll just bleep you. There you go. Please do that, I'll bleep it. I take out the part that.

Speaker 2:

I just said what happened in the end. I'll just bleep you Beep. There you go. Please do that. I'll bleep it, I'm going to do that.

Speaker 1:

It's not like. I guess I said it because it's not about. That's not what it's not like. I'm on the edge of my seat, like is it really going to hit? That's really not what it's about, about everyone's reaction to the possibility of it hitting.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's what the more the broader point of the movie is and that's what you need to see is like watch it because you're gonna like parallels to modern day. I actually need to re-watch it because it's a couple years old now, but it was just very much like oh shit, this is where we're going and that is creepy well, I can tell you this I'm probably not gonna watch it because I thought I was into that like, oh my god, you know things are happening.

Speaker 2:

Now let me watch a movie like it compares to. So I put on. I started watching a couple of years ago handmaid's tale and I fucking was like holy shit, like I need to re-watch it, because I watched it from a very distant, a distant perspective like this is cool.

Speaker 2:

I'm a really good writers like this is awful, and then I said I'm gonna watch it again. I put the freaking thing on and I was just like I had my stomach hurt. I was like starting to sweat. I'm like I can't watch this because this is terrifying and it is just so close to what they would like to happen. I I would not be the one given birth. I'm past that stage. I would be in the fucking kitchen cooking for these people. We don't want that.

Speaker 1:

I'm a bad cook. Nobody wants that, phoebe. Nobody wants that. So that means you're just probably going to get off. Christy, I don't know what they're going to do with you. Sorry, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I have a little bit of cooking skills. So maybe I'm in luck. I'm serious, Maybe I could read books to little kids or something I don't know I don't think they want books.

Speaker 1:

Fred In that world, no books, christy.

Speaker 2:

That's all. That's the only thing you can do. I can't garden either. I'm so fucked baby.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you can be a loyalist and they'll let you be the propaganda person.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, they wouldn't let a woman do that. Sorry, no, I'm gonna find out. Next time we come back on, I'm going to tell you the job I can do. Okay, I just but it's funny because I've actually talked to my family about that before I'm like in an apocalypse. You know everybody's got their roles. That's how you do it. You have to make sure about that before I'm like in an apocalypse. You know everybody's got their roles. That's how you do it. You have to make sure everybody's okay and I don't have a role. I've never had a fucking role. Dance, you can teach dance.

Speaker 1:

I'll be like 70, phoebe, but then they also probably don't want women dancing Exactly.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, I need to learn how to shoot. I'm going to be a freaking. What do they call them?

Speaker 1:

Shooter I don't know, a sharpshooter, sniper.

Speaker 2:

Sharpshooter, sniper. Yes, that's me. Okay, I'm going to get it. I don't. I'm so screwed. Can you do laundry? Maybe I don't really like it. I mean I could, I could, I could hang it up like because we probably won't have a grid, right, so we would have to put it on clotheslines in the back show.

Speaker 1:

I mean, that's what I used to do, so you know I can do that.

Speaker 2:

I think it. It used to be in my backyard too, and they actually smelled really good yeah, but they were stiff remember how they were stiff.

Speaker 1:

That was the worst, but otherwise it's a great concept.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it is, it is so it's so before we get on this, we're all fucked, especially christy. Christy's really fucked, but you guys are kind of semi-fucked. Um, I think we should talk about, unless you want to hit more on those topics oh, no, I'll go watch it.

Speaker 1:

Don't look. Don't look up now. That's what I want to go do. Well, I gotta nobody else does because you're ruining the movie.

Speaker 2:

Um, you're gonna bleep that out, I will bleep it out. They're gonna be like what'd she say? What'd she say?

Speaker 1:

uh well, like I said, that's not even the gist of it, but I don't want to spoil it like that for anybody.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, I don't blame you um, so this is a segment that we call we don't fucking know, we'll call it good stuff. Here's some good stuff for now. That's the name, yep yeah. Or look towards the light. Um, the light is over there.

Speaker 1:

It's maybe a train but there is a light over there, right. It usually is a train. That's what I've learned uh-huh, um.

Speaker 2:

So my good news is in oklahoma, the bill um that they were trying to ban no-fault divorce did not pass. It failed. Oh, that is good.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

And then the bill that they wanted to post the Ten Commandments in the Capitol also failed.

Speaker 1:

Nice.

Speaker 2:

And I'm surprised.

Speaker 1:

That's. That is good. I'm very surprised at that.

Speaker 2:

I know I'm like OK, there's hope. People are starting to say oh no, I don't think so. That's Oklahoma. What are they going to do here, though, texas?

Speaker 1:

Once again. I mean, oklahoma has already proven themselves to be more progressive than Texas, which is just astounding. But you know they have legal marijuana there, so that is already a step ahead. Texas is just going backwards. I think I don't. Texas is just going backwards, I think. I don't I still.

Speaker 2:

Well, it is especially in the sports world which you dropped in the middle of what I wasn't even I didn't even have my headphones on and you dropped this diamond that we should have been talking about. About Luca, yes, we need a whole.

Speaker 1:

I mean yeah, yeah, we can, we need to talk about it at some point. But it's yeah, I was actually thinking about it at some point, but it's yeah, I, I was actually thinking about it today, that I mean what it is to dallas sports cowboys and mavs in particular very self-sabotaging, so that I mean I'm familiar with that. I do it too, but as a franchise, like a franchise shouldn't be self-sabotaging, but they are drives me nuts well, I think that there might be a conspiracy theory behind Luca leaving being traded.

Speaker 2:

What Conspiracy theory. So you know how Mark Cuban used to be sole owner and then he sold 73% to what's her name, ad.

Speaker 1:

yes, okay, sold to them, and she is known for what uh, uh being a no, I don't know what the I don't know what to even what does she? Do for a living. She's a wife. She was a wife to sheldon adelson, okay, good okay she's also they also have casinos, okay, they also have casinos she just married into it. Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry because I'm like she did nothing, but okay, her crummy husband did it all okay okay, but they have, they're into casinos yes one of the reasons that they want to build a casino here in Texas, irving specifically in where the old Texas, the Cowboys used to play. Yeah, so that didn't happen. She's not getting what she. They're not getting what they want Doesn seem to be right. So they said what about we just take the mavericks and bring them to las vegas? We'll just just take them there.

Speaker 2:

And nobody's really still listening. Like you can't do that, like we love you, can't we love the mavericks? Like that's what the people are saying, that's what they're saying. So she's like all right, well, I just fucking trade off your best legendary player and let's see if that gets a little play. Wow, yes. And then here's the kicker. I might have been like, oh, that's suspicious. Until Governor Abbott came out and said I'm not against having casinos here, not even a week later. Very suspicious, phoebe. I think there's something here. I think that there's heat. It's building some heat here. I don't know, it's bullshit.

Speaker 1:

It's bullshit.

Speaker 2:

I didn't think there was a conspiracy. I know.

Speaker 1:

I didn't think a conspiracy would be behind it, though, because the Mavericks has done dumb stuff like this in the past.

Speaker 2:

Cowboys is a big one.

Speaker 1:

It's just Dallas sports, but yeah, it is big. This is a very big.

Speaker 2:

It's very big and he had just bought a home. He said he'd never wanted to leave, Like he loved working here. He loved it working here. He loved it and we loved him being here. And the other conspiracy theorist which I don't think is as hot as the one I just said, but he was supposed to get $375, $76 million and they got rid of that so they could make more room.

Speaker 2:

I guess. But the problem is, if you're really trying to get to go all the way, you need to do that, and that's how you make more money.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, you spend it to make it I don't know, though, ask adelson, adelson, adelson, ask her husband apparently he's dead, oh I'm familiar with them. They're big political like. They contribute big money to political campaigns.

Speaker 2:

Trump and their.

Speaker 1:

Zionists and their big supporters of Israel. So that's why Trump is doing so much for Israel. That's a part of it is because, actually, trump's election they they donated a record breaking amount to Trump, like it broke records of a single donation going to a politician or something wow. So that's also the same person that treated away our luca. She's just a double evil person.

Speaker 2:

She's the antichrist, that's it and with that we're ending on a good note.

Speaker 1:

We tried, we freaking asked, ask where does the anti? Where are they supposed to arise? From what land is it you said? The antichrist that your stepmom said it's not the right place, he's not from the middle east somewhere, isn't it israel? Is it israel?

Speaker 2:

I think so could be on something there. Hold on, let's ask chat gpt, let me just ask. So I don't want to end on a we're not sure um. Hold on, that's why I love this guy. Or nova I've. I've named him nova. We're gonna ask nova um. Where is the antichrist fromed in the New Testament, regular books of John To John, the revelation in the text, the figure who appeared before the end of time, supposing Christ and deceiving many? The Bible does not testify A geographical origin for the Antichrist, leading to various interpretations and theories. Different Christian traditions and scholars have proposed various locations, often influenced by historical and context. Some interpretation linked the anarch um anarchists to rome, um from the book of revelations, or middle middle eastern, which is the prophecies from the book of daniel. So it's two different theories, but it's not actually specified.

Speaker 1:

We don't really know, that's huge.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it is Because he's from Africa, south Africa.

Speaker 1:

South Africa, but we also don't know where his roots are from. I don't know, I mean. Okay, you know what I mean. Are we all from the same place in the end? I don't know, you know what?

Speaker 2:

Also don't let me forget this, because the next time we come and talk I want to talk about and I'll look it up and get more details there is a book I'm not going to give all the details, but a book which you're going to love. This because you like this type of stuff Nicholas Tesla, trump's grandfather's connected and he actually has this stuff that they didn't make public. There's also a book that was written and it's about Trump and Barron Trump. It's. It's so effing weird, ok, where they come, and he's called the last president in this book and it's written a long time ago. So I'm telling you there's some weird stuff. Then it's all interconnected and it's like ooh and it's freaky. So I will find the name of these things and I'm sure some listeners probably already know, but I think we should have a whole conversation on this because it's probably going to trip you out and you may even want to read the books after you hear about it. I'm very interested. Yeah, I'm gonna leave that as a teaser. Do you want to share any?

Speaker 1:

words of parting um no, I don't want to choke.
