Introduction and Show Updates
00:01:00
Speaker
Yo, yo, yo, what up? What up? What up, friends? You know who it is. Omar, the Professor Fonseca, back for another installment of the Professor's Seminal Mente.
00:01:17
Speaker
Now, We are trying out a new system today, working out some kinks, a little bit of this, little bit of that. Last week, we had some issues with the broadcast.
00:01:27
Speaker
And also, the next day, if you did not if you did not or do not watch the Bottom Line Sports, ah You will know I retired from the bottom line sports. Yes, after two years, a good run it was, but we had to retire and keep it moving. And that's what we are doing.
00:01:48
Speaker
That being said, I appreciate everybody who's joining in with us. I am trying out a new system today. That's why you didn't have the intro video per the use is because I am on a new system and I'm just wanting to try it out. So I'm on the free trial.
00:02:03
Speaker
So instead of actually... Being able to do the upgrade where you add your own video and add your own this and that. um Since I'm just on the free weekly trial, I have to use what they've given me.
00:02:16
Speaker
So hence the video being kind of... I liked it though. little galaxy had a little bit of... ah Little jam to it, you know what I mean? It started a little slow, got a little pace to it there at the end. But happy you're joining us here anyways. As I said, just trying to work couple kinks. I'll see what system do I want to go with. Do I want to stick with StreamYard that I was using before? Do I want to go ah to Restream, which I'm actually testing out today. So we'll see how that goes. Please let me know in the comments how we sound. Or there's also Riverside, which ClubberD, the combat is actually –
00:02:56
Speaker
testing out himself and has been using for a couple of shows. So interested to bounce that off each other and see kind of where ah we both think those programs stand and if StreamYard is still the best option. The problem is StreamYard has raised their prices over the past few years and gotten a little...
00:03:14
Speaker
A little
Sports Highlights and Show Promotions

Pacific time, we will have Covered to the Combat G's Combat Sports Special for UFC 316-2. Huge, as ah Donald Trump on the white would say, our president, huge title fights.
00:03:49
Speaker
He's a big UFC fan, as we know. ah The champion, Marab DeVishwally, will take on challenger Sean Brown. Sugar Sean O'Malley. And then in the co-main event, um' this is the one i'm excited I'm excited about both of them, but really excited about this one.

00:05:12
Speaker
on YouTube. So hit that like button, hit that heart, hit that laugh, whatever you can do for us. We really appreciate it.
00:05:19
Speaker
Cool? All right. Hold on one second because we are live on YouTube, live on Facebook. the The one thing, though, and again, it's just a free trial, so it's not anything to restream.
00:05:29
Speaker
But on this free trial, yeah obviously, you only get a limited amount. So we get the two channels. So I'm going live to YouTube and Facebook instead of Instagram like we might normally do because of the fact that Instagram, ah not a lot of people watch videos on Instagram. It's kind of like Twitter, right? It's not necessarily Instagram.
00:05:47
Speaker
ah somewhere where you're going to watch long form videos like this nude news broadcast, which is going to be at least an hour long. By the way, my producer got upset at me um because I kept going for three hours every week and she says she don't get paid overtime.
00:06:02
Speaker
ah for the job, which she doesn't. So she said, I need to start keeping my my stuff to a minimum of an hour, which is going to be a lot easier now because there is no more bottom line sports for me. ah There is still the bottom line sports. Please go check them out. I'm not going to tell you not to go check them out. Check the boys, Canteen, Flo, still doing their thing over there at the bottom line sports on Facebook.
00:06:23
Speaker
But I'm not there anymore. Hot Take Jake ain't there anymore. So I will not be on that show. So I am now bringing The Professor's Seminalmente. Two parts, so that way I can make sure i keep an hour each.
00:06:34
Speaker
We're going to do one time a week of news and one time a week sports. So today we're going to do news. We're going to talk our United States news, Donald Trump, President Weekly Update, everything going on in the world of the... or in realm of the world of Donald Trump and the realm of the United States, as well as world news. We will update you on all the foreign wars.
00:06:52
Speaker
We got news on Ukraine, Russia. We got news on Israel, Hamas, and the Gaza Strip. And we have Iran nuclear news, y'all. You are not going to want to miss what I have to tell you about the news that I know you haven't heard.
00:07:05
Speaker
because I know you don't run in the same circles that I run in, so you would not know this, ah but you need to know there are some things happening and in the world with this Iran nuclear situation.
00:07:16
Speaker
So we're going to talk all about that today and give you some news there. And then on Wednesday... We'll actually be back with the professor's Seminal Mente sports version. So today is just news.
00:07:28
Speaker
If you tuned in for sports, I appreciate you. And I hope you stay for the news because I think it's very interesting and very informative. And I think you'll get a lot out of it. But if not, sports is on on Wednesday. We'll talk NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, all that good stuff. But for now, today is news. So.
00:07:46
Speaker
so Thank y'all for tuning in as always. Let's kick this bad boy off. Let me see. We got a couple chats here. Yes, my producer laughing at me because she does not get paid overtime. I'm assuming that means we sound good.
00:08:02
Speaker
ah So thank you very much for that. All right, cool. As I mentioned, a lot of news going on around the United States. And actually, it worked out. Because last week I went so long, but the broadcast was messed up and it was I take full ownership on that.
00:08:18
Speaker
I had a a little bit of an older computer that I wanted to use as my stationary one, which I just used only for streaming instead of using my new computer and having to bring it back and forth. All that with the older one just wasn't new enough to handle that stream. So that's why it was kind of cutting out.
00:08:35
Speaker
There for a little bit last week. So I do apologize about that But the good part is it actually didn't turn out too bad on youtube or facebook and uh, the better part is I'm backing up all those stories this week So you're gonna get all the news that you missed if you did last week You're gonna get this week anyways, so let's kick this bad boy off.
00:08:56
Speaker
All right, so um first of all uh Today is Lou Gehrig day Yes, Lou Gehrig Day in Major League Baseball is where they celebrate ah the achievements of Lou Gehrig, but also...
00:09:17
Speaker
the the life of Gehrig and the disease that he ended up suffering after a certain amount of time um while playing baseball and being really good at baseball, mind you.
00:09:32
Speaker
So anyways, he actually came down with what is known as ALS. If you do not know, ALS is a disease, as you can see on the right-hand side, a horrible, horrible disease in this world that we must get rid of. As of now, there are no cures and only few treatments. We really need to press on this to get diseases like this, cancer, and other things gone.
00:09:57
Speaker
um So again, Lou Gehrig brought it really to the forefront in terms of ah mainstream people understanding the disease and starting to know things better since that was back in the fifties. But I got to turn my hat around and give a shout out to my brother. I don't know if he's watching, but you can see him there under. it Yeah. I cut the hair today. We do a little thing. I didn't cut all of it. Don't worry.
00:10:15
Speaker
It's still there. I just shaved it because CMA fest this week. We trying to look good for the latest anyways. um So shout out my brother, ah David. ah He is dealing with ALS himself, but man,
00:10:29
Speaker
if I couldn't have found you know ah more a person who was more inspiring. um There are so many people that inspire others in this world, and David is one of them.
00:10:40
Speaker
He is truly an inspiration to now have ALS for you know a few years now um and still just pressing on and trying to not only be the best person he can be and get better every day, even though he's pretty much I'm confined to his house every day, all day. You know, he still keeps a smile on his face, still tells people to be better, still tells people to not think about the things that bring them to, I know he's been a huge inspiration to me.
00:11:10
Speaker
um So please support his blog. It is an ALS advocacy and awareness blog. It's called, if you search on Google, David's ALS journey, you'll find it. But you can also see ah the website there if you want to type it in. There's a bunch of numbers and Wix site and stuff. So I'd rather you just search search David's ALS journey. But please subscribe to his blog.
00:11:30
Speaker
As you can see, he is a brand new author. That's how inspiring he is um ah writing a book. ah in the state that he's in and and becoming an author, something that he had been inspired to do is just, it's amazing the things that people can do that when they put their minds to it, it makes you think about yourself and how,
00:11:53
Speaker
How are you living your life and and how are are are you trying to get better when you have ah people in situations worse than yourself that are doing more and trying to do more for ah the world than you are? And so it just brings a light to your eyes and makes you think about things like that. So please go salute my ah salute my brother, support him.
00:12:14
Speaker
And again, David's ALS journey. You can see I'm wearing the hat. He sent me Mission Dubois. If you want to donate to Walk for ALS campaign for David, you can search, again, David Dubois. Find him at Mission Dubois. You see there on the hat.
00:12:28
Speaker
And go ahead and support, donate, and do all that you do. ah So, again, ALS Awareness Day, Lou Gehrig Day today. We salute everybody and prayers for everyone who is dealing with that horrible um disease or any disease, cancer or anything. We still pray for y'all as well. But definitely today, thinking about those and praying for those with ALS.
00:12:49
Speaker
Love you, David. All right. um and and And you'll see, i was trying to go too fast earlier today. And you'll see it says happy birthday boozer there.
00:13:00
Speaker
But you have a picture of Obama ah and giving a no giving a Nobel Prize. I don't even remember. Oh, that was ah the retirement of of Greg Popovich.
00:13:11
Speaker
And the I don't forget. I don't even remember what the Obama story was. Anyways, I was using that as a template. And then I was going to add the pictures of Boozer here. Oh, well, I guess I forgot that before I downloaded a lot going on today with the testing. Anyways, happy birthday to Boozer.
00:13:27
Speaker
His birthday was yesterday. ah my My son, i miss you and I love you. the greatest dog ever, English Bulldog. ah Not usually supposed to last over 10 years. He lived a great 13 years. And while I'm sad every day that I lost him and the way that it happened or the way that ended, it um I love my pup every day and I miss him. And, ah you know, hey it's ah it's always good to have a friend and he was the best of.
00:13:56
Speaker
So happy birthday to him yesterday, Boozer. We miss you and we love you. All right, ah cool. Amul tapping in. Show got a new look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're just testing some stuff out, trying a new system, ah seeing if we want to move away from StreamYard. This is Restream we're trying today.
00:14:12
Speaker
Looks pretty good, working well so far. So we'll see what happens. But don't expect the look to last that long. um This is just for today. Obviously, if I decide to go with them, I would upgrade.
00:14:25
Speaker
So I'd be able to bring in all the branding and the actual pictures and the overlays and the music. I don't have any of that today. So you're just getting straight up Omar. Um, Yes, David is a great inspiration. Everybody, again, David's ALS journey. Google that. Subscribe to his ALS blog. It is truly an inspirational ah blog. And yes, Boozer was the greatest dog ever.
00:14:50
Speaker
um Love my buddy and we and and we miss him. But yes, definitely the greatest dog ever. I'm going to test something real quick. Let's see. how this works with a little bit of music. Cause see, I don't like when I just talked by my no music underneath, because I feel like, I feel like the dead silence ah pauses, which I take a lot of them at times. Cause I like to pause, uh, when I'm talking and think a little bit to me, it's like, uh, it's like the dead, I don't know. They're just the dead sound seems a little,
00:15:21
Speaker
um little too much So I like to have a little bit of music underlying when I'm talking. What I don't like about this here, though, is the music, they don't give you a large enough ah um thing to be able to...
00:15:37
Speaker
like a bar to see what volume your music's at. It's just a very short bar. So restream if I had to suggest something, make that volume bar a little larger so I can actually give a good volume to my people that are watching. So if you hear this, if you hear that music, is it too loud behind me? I just want to have something that compliments my talking. So let me know.
00:15:58
Speaker
um Let me know if you hear that. Oh, salute to my brother Skywalker. Boxing media coming in. Perfect time, though, because that reminds me y'all should be checking out Country Box.
00:16:12
Speaker
I will be there tomorrow night. Promoter Jimmy Adams. Salute ah his lovely wife. um ah The whole crew. There, Ashley Hermes, the Warrior Kid, Maidel Sando. Tomorrow's going be great. Oliver McCall will be fighting. And, yes, you know I'm Oliver's personal social media interviewer, so you know I'll have that interview with him as well.
00:16:36
Speaker
Another champion, World Heavyweight Champion, Shannon Briggs will be there tomorrow. So you know I'm going that exclusive with Shannon Briggs as well. Can't wait to meet him. And a lot of other good fights tomorrow that I'm definitely going to be getting some good interviews. I'm actually get there early.
00:16:51
Speaker
So that way I could be there a whole night, but yes, salute country box. Y'all they're doing the way in right now. If you want to check them out so you can check out the way in that they're doing now, I will not be offended, but you know, it's better if you just let me tell, tell you and let you see that social media tomorrow after I go, I'll be doing some filming and getting all those good interviews.
00:17:09
Speaker
A producer says no music. um You know, I don't know how I feel about that producer because I really don't like hearing the silence when I pause. You see what I'm saying? So if there was no music there, you would just hear. So I don't like that. it It's not good for me. Now, maybe for you all, it may be annoying a little bit. So maybe after have to turn it off.
00:17:29
Speaker
But for me personally, I don't like to hear that silence. I want to hear something in the background. But anyways, OK, you're the producer. I'll turn it off. Anyways, Skywalker, yes. Y'all make sure you tap in with Skywalker.
00:17:43
Speaker
Boxing media, all awesome boxing interviews. he's He's the networking champion when it comes to boxing. He be getting interviews with everyone. I'm going to start leaning into his connects to get me some some of these interviews with some of these locals from either here or back in the DMV where I'm from.

00:18:29
Speaker
Anyways, um so yeah,
News Segment Part 2
00:18:31
Speaker
here we go. Now we'll finally get into the news um of the day. A lot of news, actually. And this is actually, i know that we just had some laughs there talking about Shannon Briggs and what a good dude he is and meeting him tomorrow. But I'm going to bring it down a second.
00:18:48
Speaker
Got to be a little bit more of a conscious frame of mind here as we start with our actual news story. So emergency news story. I wasn't even able to get it on the actual ah news slides to present to you. So you're not going to actually see any slides on this.
00:19:06
Speaker
But last yet last night, yesterday, horrible, horrible, what has been happening. ah classified so far as a terrorist attack, an anti-Israel terrorist or attack, or an anti-Zionist, anti-Jewish ah terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, has left multiple people injured.
00:19:31
Speaker
The attack unfolded him when Mohammed Sabri Suleiman threw Molotov cocktails, plural, during a peaceful rally supporting Israeli hostages.
00:19:45
Speaker
The Egyptian national, who overstayed his visa after arriving in 2022, was heard shouting slogans such as Free Palestine.
00:19:58
Speaker
This event he was at, or the event that he attacked people at, rather, was an event called Run-Police. ah for their lives where people, it's a obviously one of those you know four Ks, whatever, I don't know what the K was, but in support of Israel. ah This is obviously eight people injured. We're praying for them. Hopefully they are able to get and over their injuries. Luckily, and thank God no one died.
00:20:25
Speaker
But fact of the matter is that things like that have been increasingly happening lately. Just last week, we talked about the terror attack in, or well, I take that back.
00:20:36
Speaker
Let me backtrack that. here here Yeah. um the possible terror attack where two Washington, D.C. Israeli embassy aides were murdered or killed, excuse me, outside of the embassy there in Washington, D.C. obviously these ah attacks have continued um to ramp up and over Not only the Jewish population, but as we know, during COVID, the Asian population was targeted.
00:21:06
Speaker
Obviously, the blacks and forever and the Spanish people, since they started to come in and immigrate, all of the different ethnic groups are have been targeted over time as we moved on. But now...
00:21:20
Speaker
um with the Israeli Hamas war ah over the Gaza Strip. A lot of Jewish hate is happening within this country. And again, as I talked about last week, there should be no hate whatsoever. I get...
00:21:34
Speaker
I'm not going to act like I'm naive and we live in a utopia. I realize that these kind some of these countries, some of these religions, some of these factions, not factions, ethnicities, some of these ah whatever, even genders, have been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, whatever.
00:21:51
Speaker
Got it. I understand. um But those people who technically... overstayed his visa. You know how much we talk about immigration on this program.
00:22:03
Speaker
I don't think that it should be a broad swath. I think we should be taking more of a scalpel to the immigration instead of mass deportations. But I do agree that we need to be getting rid of all criminals.
00:22:14
Speaker
And this gentleman, let me take that back, this asshole, I apologize, I didn't mean to call him a gentleman. He doesn't even deserve that respect. is obviously one of them that needs to be deported immediately. So he will be facing terrorism charges and life in prison charges when this comes up.
00:22:31
Speaker
Again, prayers up for those that are injured. Hopefully they come back full health. um I don't think there is anyone anymore, at least as what I heard today. I don't believe there's anyone.
00:22:41
Speaker
Well, you know what? I don't want to say that because I don't know completely. And, you know, i like to be as factual as possible on this program. um Is this a shout out?
00:22:54
Speaker
D Cleasy. um Yes, it is. Actually, I've used it before on the streams. I used it last week on the stream, although that was more computer issues, not the camera.
00:23:05
Speaker
And I used it before I went back home ah for my birthday and your brother's birthday. ah But So I have used it a few times before, ah but no, while I was back in Virginia, while i was traveling for that month and whenever I could get on, I was using just the webcam because I didn't want to bring the brand new camera with me. But yes, technically it's only been used a few times. It is a brand new camera and shout out to your boy, Francis Long.
00:23:34
Speaker
Woo. I wish I had my Ric Flair. I wish had my Ric Flair music or, you know, ad lib. Francis Long is the man, one of my best friends in the whole world. He bought me this camera, sent it to me. He also bought me the Yeti microphone that I'm on. So shout out.
00:24:31
Speaker
Okay, that was truly hilarious. Hilarious. That was great. So yes, D, i went to pause I went to go show you the microphone.
00:24:43
Speaker
um it's ah It's a Blue Yeti. Just know that. It's brand new. Anyways, Francis, such a nice guy, bought me the camera and the microphone and sent them through to to me through Amazon because he was pissed off at my quality of cameras and he decided that he had had enough of it and wanted to give me his own. But I do want to say it was never for a lack of trying.
00:25:08
Speaker
I bought five different microphones before then and like three different cameras, including a Logitech Brio at one point that just ended up getting scratched. And that's what happened there. But yeah, anyways, I... um
00:25:22
Speaker
yet Yeti, you disappeared. That's tre tremendous. That is fantastic. Yeah, Yeti, I disappeared. Yet, I disappeared. You are correct about Yet, I disappeared. I see what you did there. Nice punch. Yes, I did.
00:25:35
Speaker
I was trying to show the microphone, and when I did that, I pulled everything out because the microphone, the Ethernet, which... And God, we got Wi-Fi. The Ethernet, the camera, and the microphone are all plugged into the, it's an extension that plugs into the computer um to make sure I can have more USB ports.
00:25:53
Speaker
Anyways, that got pulled out when I did that. So thank you. And yes, shout out to Francis Long. We love you. Thank you for the new camera and the new microphone. All right, cool. ah Oh man, that was wild. Anyways, moving on to the next subject, next story on our United States news. You will know last week, we talked about the big, beautiful bill that Donald Trump tried to advance big and beautiful, depending on which side of the aisle you are, whether you're a lib or a con, um you know, it it all depends. But
00:26:27
Speaker
What is happening is the debt is going to go up. We talked about this last week with Amul Madan. Thank you, Amul, for coming in, our guest, last week to talk about that. It has now gone to the Senate.
00:26:37
Speaker
ah They are mulling it over. They hope to have a vote before July 4th, Independence Day. A reason for that is is because after that date, um there's a certain cutoff date where the taxes and stuff wouldn't apply for the year or deductions, things like that. So that's why they're trying to get passed before then.
00:26:55
Speaker
There's six Republicans right now on the fence. um Josh Hawley being the prop probably the most prominent. Lisa Murkowski is another one. Some others there that may fight this bill. They're the ones on the opposite side of it. But with a full Senate of Republicans, they should pass the bill as they did pretty easily.
00:27:13
Speaker
Not easily through the House. We only passed by one vote. But um that's because the House has a more narrow position difference between Republicans and Democrats than the Senate does.
00:27:26
Speaker
Whatever it is, it's going to happen and they're going to have the bill most likely going to be voted on. This will, again, cut Medicaid in some areas. There will be work requirements put on Medicaid and as well SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps.
00:27:42
Speaker
These will all start to have a work requirement, either working a 40-hour-a-week job or doing some sort of community activities. This will also increase deductions for taxpayers, which is mostly...
00:27:56
Speaker
If you're looking at the SALT deductions, that's mostly going to help the more wealthy of people. And so when you all have heard about the Trump tax cuts from 2017 and how you heard about them being a tax cut for the most wealthy and everything like that, it is true ah that they were going to be obviously giving the most back to the most wealthy. Now, everyone does did get ah get ah at least a little bit of a break And we'll continue to if they're expanded.
00:28:24
Speaker
But the break that you are getting watching this show. Now, if there's any millionaires or billionaires watching this show, I would truly appreciate if you just reached out to me and we did a partnership, a collab.
00:28:36
Speaker
I'd appreciate maybe a sponsorship of the program. I'll be your Stedman to your Oprah. So, I mean, even guy or girl, pause. i I'll be your Stedman if you want to just pay me and give me some money.
00:28:49
Speaker
um But anyways, moving on. um Selling myself like an escort over here. ah No pause on that. Anyways, so we the problem is that us, anybody watching this program most likely, are not going to be the ones getting the most benefit from those tax cuts. It is going to go mostly to the wealthy as they obviously get a higher proportion because they have more money, but also the proportions of cuts between ah brackets of income are...
00:29:22
Speaker
Not as substantially different as they should be. If you're asking me, and I'm not the president, but if I were, the rich people guarantee you would pay the most and buy more than a lot than anybody else.
00:29:36
Speaker
And I want to be rich. I would still think as a rich person, and I will be rich soon enough. And when I get there, I still think even when I'm there, I should have to give back. Because You made your wealth, most likely, off of the American population. It only behooves you to have to be taxed to pay back to the government in order to give back to the population. Now, whether you want to talk about the government properly giving back to the population is a whole nother conundrum, is a whole nother problem.
00:30:06
Speaker
mess of things that we don't necessarily need to go into right now because you may not get an argument from me on that. Either way, we'll see what happens. We'll keep you updated on that and see if they actually pass that bill. But what will happen is this is going to raise the deficit to an estimated $4.2 trillion. dollars So when you hear the Republicans and the Trump administration claim how, um,
00:30:32
Speaker
you know They're going to be able to bring down the deficit and things like that. If this bill is passed, they definitely will not be able to bring down the deficit, no matter how how much ah Doge has saved. Which, by the way, Doge, who originally wanted $1 trillion, dollars then moved it down to $750 billion, only ended up with $106 trillion.
00:30:53
Speaker
$250 billion saved. So not as great as they were hoping and not going to put a dent on anything when you're adding $2 trillion dollars um since 2023.
00:31:06
Speaker
So also when you juxtapose that, the Republicans talk a lot about former President Joe Biden and how he added to the deficit. But this would add more than. And you know that because we gave you the quote from Rand Paul, Kentucky senator, Republican senator last week, who said that this would be an even more raise than the Biden raises on the deficit. So, y'all, if if we're really hearing the administration talk about wanting to bring deficits down and doing all these things to bring taxes down and stuff like that, that can't be done when you're raising our deficit by this much money.
00:31:40
Speaker
All right. Cool. Moving on. One thing I did like, and I mentioned this last week, but I just had to say it again because I really did like this part of it. And, you know, you don't know. It's not very often that you get to see those people on the right and left sides of the aisle ah get together on something and agree.
00:32:01
Speaker
And boy, oh boy, did they when it came to the no tax on tips. Where's my cheer here? Do I get some of that? to nothing this was voted.
00:32:20
Speaker
It passed with no opposition. And I agree completely as a person who was a server bartender. D. Cleesey would know he's a bartender server in the past as well.
00:32:32
Speaker
We work for TIPS. Most of the bartender servers in most of the states, there's seven states in the United States that they don't get paid minimum wage. And no, I'm not going to list them all off.
00:32:45
Speaker
I believe it. I don't, I don't know them all, but I believe it's California, Texas, Kentucky. Anyways, regardless, there are only a few states where people don't work for minimum wage, but most servers, bartenders work for two 13, two 13, which is sub minimum wage, not even minimum wage bartender servers usually work for two 13 an hour. And what happens is that is supplemented If they don't reach that amount of what they would have made in the amount of hours they work. So you take the 213, you times that by the amount of hours that they worked. If they don't reach that amount, then the business supplements the rest of that income to make up for it. If they do get over that amount, well, that's all you get is just your tips.
00:33:25
Speaker
That's why it's so important for servers and bartenders to be able to, at least if they don't get minimum wage, be able to have no taxes on tips. I will say this as a former bartender server.
00:33:37
Speaker
And I'm giving away some of the house secrets right now. But
00:33:43
Speaker
lot of a lot of server bartenders, i am not included in this. I would never do something like this. ah Don't claim i taxes on, you know what?
00:33:57
Speaker
keep that moving. I decided that was not good to put out my people out there like that. I don't even want to do that. But anyways, one thing that ah may have an impact here, though, is that, yes, having no tax on tips would provide and ah big savings, especially for those people that work for tips.
00:34:16
Speaker
But also, it The critics say it would hamper the fight for minimum wage, which I agree. Looking at it logically, if we're giving you no tax on tips, then they can turn around and say, oh, well, why should we give a you minimum wage?
00:34:29
Speaker
I think it should be both. It definitely should be both. But again, I'm not the president. So I don't know what to tell you there. Anyways, thank you, sir. Appreciate you, Skywalker.
00:34:41
Speaker
My brother. Nice equipment, he says. All right. Also in the world of President Trump, he did... um Whoops.
00:34:53
Speaker
He did speak yesterday, or Friday, excuse me, at a U.S. s steel plant in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, which, by the way, just cracks me up every time I hear West Mifflin because I hear a Dunder... I think a Dunder Mifflin from the office, and it just makes me laugh.
00:35:07
Speaker
um Even though i wasn't like the... biggest office fan. Do I enjoy the office? If I see like a rerun, come on or something like that. Yeah, sure. And it was a, it was a, it was a decently funny show.
00:35:20
Speaker
Um, but I definitely, I'm not like a, like an office fanatic. And I definitely like, I wasn't one of those people that watched it all the time, even when it was live or not live, but you know what I mean on during non rerun time.
00:35:34
Speaker
Um, I mean, it was it like I said, it's it's okay. It's decently funny, but it's not something like I was going to dedicate myself to. So while I enjoy it, it's not. Anyways, I don't know how I got off on that ah to tangent there. But at the West, oh, that's right. West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.
00:35:49
Speaker
He announced. ah i
00:35:55
Speaker
ah Since I don't have any sound ah bites on my thing, you get the you get the soundboard today. Anyways, he said that he is going to. um double the current tariff rate on imported steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% on Wednesday.
00:36:15
Speaker
Now, when I first saw this, I will not lie to you. With all the changes, I never lie to you, but with all the changes and the instituting and then pulling back of tariffs that President Donald Trump has done thus far, when I saw that headline or when I saw it on the news, ah I was like,
00:36:35
Speaker
okay, but what does that really mean? Is it really going to happen? Is it really going to stay in place? So I brushed it off. I was like, okay, whatever. Just tell me when it actually happens because all we know tomorrow he could be like, oh, well, no, you know, i decided the steel and aluminum came and talked to me in my dreams and told me we shouldn't do this. So, you know, anything can change.
00:36:54
Speaker
So I kind of like brush it off, but then I saw a quote from someone, and this is what I've been trying to tell you on this program that President Donald Trump has been instituting in his second term.
Political Critiques and Legislation Discussion
00:37:09
Speaker
not only with the tariffs, but with deportation and anything else that he has tried to institute. He is instituting these things in order to get his base to rally behind him, in order to rally support from the Republican conservative side of the aisle.
00:37:30
Speaker
um And then after gaining that support, and we saw that when the tariffs, you know, doused the ah Goba economy for a few days after he first announced it. But anyways, the point here is that he is instituting these things to get this rise in confidence from his people, but then he backtracks on pretty much everything he's instituted so far.
00:37:53
Speaker
um ah Maybe aside from some of the deportation things, but a lot of things he's backed off on, especially tariffs. So then he backs off on it. And by that time, His his people, his base are already supporting it and they're not going to back off now because they've already got it in their mind that this is a great thing that he's done.
00:38:12
Speaker
The other side, the Libs, the the Democrats, the left side of the aisle. um By that time, there there's no fight that they can really put up because it's already passed. and but and And again, the Trump supporters going to change their minds.
00:38:25
Speaker
So it's kind of like fighting an uphill battle at that point. And he's just continually doing this over and over and over. But no one's actually speaking truth to power. No one's actually saying this out loud. No one's actually saying, hey.
00:38:38
Speaker
he's saying these things, but these things aren't actually happening. And it seems he's doing this more to bolster or even bluster ah his presidential campaign or or, you know, legacy or what what have you, even though he's only at about 50% approval right now.
00:38:56
Speaker
um You just got to think about how much Can we actually support until these things start going through? Because in the past month, he brought in Canada, he brought in the UK, and they were said to have signed these deals with zero tariffs for the UK. Canada would have 25%, this and that, all these different things.
00:39:17
Speaker
And now that's changed again. That's now gone from one non-installation to an installation, especially if you remember Canada and Mexico at the beginning, to then taking it away, then bringing it back again.
00:39:31
Speaker
That's four different changes in tariffs for Canada alone since so been six months, eight months. that's That's not supposed to happen. Let's just be let's be honest.
00:39:44
Speaker
That should not happen, at least. um ah But that's the way that President Donald Trump has always operated. We've talked about that that on this program. He is a salesman.
00:39:55
Speaker
He is always going to, ah at the least, exaggerate. But... more than more than often not, at least 75% to 90% of the time that he's talking about his accomplishments or facts, they're usually very exaggerated to outright lies.
00:40:16
Speaker
um But these are just exaggerations of things that are or have not happened. And just as I'll actually, you know what let me just let Goldie Hire of the Business Council of Canada who said that You shouldn't take the bait on these sorts of things that President Donald Trump does because it's just a strategy to try to ah gain support from the base while then moving the goalpost in order to extend out that support. And that's exactly what it is.
00:40:48
Speaker
And that's what I've been trying to say for the longest time here. So we'll see how that actually goes, if he actually keeps any of these tariffs in place. But as of now, we see just a lot of fluctuating um ah it Shout out to Bruce Moore tuning in. My brother, how you doing today, my friend? it was good to see you there with your brother at the at the beer fest. That was a great time, my friend.
00:41:11
Speaker
ah Con man, he says, us but salesman is close enough. Hey, a lot of people ah definitely use that word um for him. I will say that of the...
00:41:26
Speaker
The amount of lies that are told in order to garner the support are pretty astounding. the Some of the policies put in place, especially ah the broad swaths of mass deportation, of the doge cuts, especially when it came to people losing their jobs, things like these that he just doesn't care about, that he'd just rather um have the ah the implicated biggest impact You know that he can't, oh, I've got the biggest crowds. I've got the biggest rallies. I've got the biggest bills. I've got this, that, the bluster, right? the the The extreme exaggeration sort of thing. And yes, also could be construed as not just a salesman, but a con man.
00:42:14
Speaker
Again, depending on what side of the aisle you're looking at this on. Obviously, if you're on the right side, a conservative, a con, a Republican, maybe not. But if you're a lib, probably so. um So, you know, hey, we keep it neutral on this program. As you all know, I do not care about either party. I think they're all scum, as Francis Long would say. Every politician is a liar, cheat, and scum.
00:42:33
Speaker
Woo! So shout out to that. It is the truth. But we just give you the neutral information on this show so you know what's going on in our country. ah The Supreme Court just handed President Trump a major win for progressing his deportation agenda. In a 7-2 order, the court cleared the Trump administration to resume deportations, listen to this, y'all, of over 500,000 migrants from cuba Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
00:43:01
Speaker
So last week we talked about the Venezuelan ah Supreme Court judiciary action, which allowed for deportation. Now this week they've extended it to Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans.
00:43:14
Speaker
Look, if they're criminals, gang members, other things, fine. Again, I agree. Get him out of the country. But again, this is going to start to get to the point that mentioned this last week when we talked about no tax on tips. This is going to get in the ice supposed ice raids on Broadway here in Nashville.
00:43:34
Speaker
When it gets to that point, a lot of the immigrants and people that yeah that the right side of the aisle, the conservatives want deported are the people that do a lot of jobs that are not going to be able to be done or want to be done by Americans, including.
00:43:48
Speaker
Field work, construction, maid, cleaning, yeah even even cooks.
00:43:57
Speaker
I guarantee you most of the cooks in the restaurants around you are probably Spanish. I know most of them are here in Nashville, and I'm in one of the whitest states in the country.
00:44:08
Speaker
Anyways, so we got to, because there's,
00:44:15
Speaker
You know what? Not even going to bring it up. It doesn't even matter. You're going to believe what you want to believe. We'll see what happens. if They were here under temporary protected status under President Biden's humanitarian parole program, which allowed people to come and live and work in the U.S. s for two years, escaping, obviously, war and other things in their country that are happening The unsigned order from the court halts a lower court in injunction that had blocked Trump's move to end the program. The status was set to expire in 2026, but President Trump fast-tracked the revocation with an order to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
00:44:52
Speaker
This order follows the court's decision, allowing Trump to strip protections from 350,000 Venezuelan migrants, as I just mentioned from last week. This now terminates to ah or the program termination in April, was blocked by a judge. This now unblocks everything for Trump to go ahead and move forward.
00:45:13
Speaker
This decision does impact migrants who entered legally through parole, passed security check, and had American sponsors.
00:45:24
Speaker
So that's why I mentioned earlier, y'all, Now we're starting to get into a little gray area where people legally came into this country with American sponsors passing security checks and this, and then they could even be deported. And don't put it past actual citizens, American citizens ah being deported. My mom was telling me, watch out. And I was like, mom.
00:45:51
Speaker
I am an Air Force veteran. They're not going to deport me. And she was like, you never know. I thought about it. i was like, damn, you never know. They could try to deport my ass. Now, I would hope that before we got that far, they would realize that I gave eight years of honorable service to this country and would not send me to El Salvador or the likes.
00:46:11
Speaker
ah But you never know. i don't know. yeah i look like i could I could be from there. So it's possible they could mistake me for that. Very much so. And you got to hear this. What about this?
00:46:23
Speaker
Borders are Tom Homan, which I when I saw this, I was like, what? He warned that arrests and deportations will rise. I was like, damn, I thought we was already doing a lot now. No, they're going up more.
00:46:38
Speaker
And they've been going on. the rock I saw a Reddit thread yesterday that was warning people. ah People in Hendersonville, which is about 20 minutes northeast of Nashville, ah was warning ah residents that ICE was going around and arresting people, telling people to stay inside things like that.
00:46:56
Speaker
So it's getting crazy out there, y'all. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because they deporting everybody out here. Shout out to, what was his name?
00:47:08
Speaker
Antoine something. Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Because they deporting everybody out here. All right.
00:47:16
Speaker
oh that's that's that's That's good stuff right there. um Anyways, okay. Some news from last week that I was unable to give you ah because we had that great interview with the Moul Madan when he came in. But some news from last week.
00:47:29
Speaker
The FDA Food Drug Administration is removing kids' prescription products containing fluoride. So if you know... um ah RFK Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is our Health and Human secretary Services Secretary, has been trying to remove FDA from the water and other things like that. Well, now they are definitely taking out it it out of kids' prescription products, anything containing concentrated ingestible fluoride prescription products for children due to concerns over unapproved status and potential impact on developing gut microbiome.
Health Concerns and International Affairs
00:48:06
Speaker
Fluoride is a mineral that was added to water and dental products to prevent tooth decay in 1945. It was added to the U.S. s water supplies. FDA, though, studies suggest the association between fluoride could be worse than what we need now when we have more advanced dental care products.
00:48:25
Speaker
more advanced things with tooth brushing and toothpaste and mouthwash and so on and so forth than they had 80 years ago. The FDA suggests some studies show that there could be a link between fluoride and thyroid disease disorders, weight gain, and possibly decreased IQ.
00:48:43
Speaker
So they're definitely taking it away from anything children and possibly looking into the water. Primarily, this will affect fluoride drops and tablets. But There is also a focus on sugar reduction and dental hygiene instead of altering microbiomes.
00:49:00
Speaker
Utah was the first state to implement a statewide fluoride ban. The removal process will obviously take time as there is a public comment period, which means that the public, the community can respond to the orders with comments saying whether they agree or disagree, so on and so forth, to the federal law for any major rule changes. This runs until October 31st, Halloween of this year.
00:49:31
Speaker
More U.S. news. There was a New Orleans jailbreak that we talked about briefly last week. ah bunch of um A bunch of inmates got together um and escaped from, 10 to be exact inmates, escaped from the jail cell with help of a jail maintenance worker. Scott.
00:49:54
Speaker
escaping behind, ah through a hole behind the toilet that led them, you know, out through the ducts and air ducts and things like that, out, for flooding ah fleeing on foot, excuse me, down Interstate 10.
00:50:08
Speaker
So as of now, two inmates are still on on the loom, on the lamb, as they say.
00:50:20
Speaker
ah But there's still two out there that have yet to be arrested. And I was going to come on with the... If you've ever seen the movie The Warriors, and I'll probably do this um maybe next week, but you know how they have the lady on the radio?
00:50:37
Speaker
And she's like, well... putting the head out the Warriors. It's like, no matter where you see them, you better get them. So anyways, I was thinking about doing that, but I just decided not to.
00:50:49
Speaker
ah Moving on, we'll keep you updated on that next week. Finally, some good news in the United States, um well in this segment of the United States news, I don't mean in general.
00:51:00
Speaker
The Trump administration has secured the release of U.S. Air Force veteran from detention in Venezuela. His father said he traveled there to get treatment for PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder, was detained there and now has been brought home.
00:51:17
Speaker
ah ah So, hey, if the Trump administration does something good, I'm always going to call it right down the middle ah like baseball umpires should. And this is a salute to the Trump administration for securing the release of this U.S. Air Force veteran.
00:51:34
Speaker
All right, world news. um To start off, I'm going to talk about how true Donald Trump, and this isn't, he's not world news, but the reason I'm going to keep talking about President Trump is because he unveiled his Golden Dome Missile Defense System plans for last ah last week for to be America's new shield to protect against incoming missiles.
00:51:58
Speaker
Now, why do I bring that up again after I brought it up last week? Well, there's two reasons I bring this up. A, do I believe we should have a Golden Dome? Yes, I do.
00:52:09
Speaker
We are moving into a new age where nuclear war is at the precipice. What a fantastic word for a Puerto Rican on a live TV show. Yes, we've had nuclear weapons around forever, but now more than ever,
00:52:24
Speaker
Countries have their finger on the trigger and we need to be able to protect ourselves from that. Not that we do not have a good, um, ah intercontinental ballistic missile system that intercepts missiles already.
00:52:40
Speaker
We do. One of the best in the world. i can tell you from experience, knowing that we have one of the best of those in the world. um But this will give us close to, as he said, which is, I guess one thing he wasn't exaggerating about, 100%.
00:52:53
Speaker
You combine this dome with our already previous missile defense systems, and we are going to be When it comes to defending against missiles, which we need because to let you know on that little information I told you about earlier that I said you would not know, we have received a little bit of intel.
00:53:12
Speaker
Now it is unclassified intel now, so I can tell you this, but obviously at one point in time it was classified. The U.S. has received intel that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear sites as soon as who the hell knows, but very, very soon.
00:53:29
Speaker
There was not actually a date on it, but this is an imminent threat, as we would call it in the military. um So if Iran does not come to an agreement with the United States, which I'm about to get into in a second, Israel is planning on using nuclear weapons.
00:53:48
Speaker
That's crazy. That's wild. We need to protect ourselves.
00:53:55
Speaker
Moving on, ah Iran's nuclear program, the Trump administration confirmed yesterday it sent Iran that nuclear deal proposal. ah Details not disclosed.
00:54:06
Speaker
That does come after a United Nations watchdog report that was leaked over the weekend that found Iran had conducted secret uranium enrichment activities in three previously undisclosed facilities.
00:54:22
Speaker
The report also found Iran possesses 400 kilograms of uranium at 60% purity, significantly above levels for civilian purposes and enough to create 10 nuclear weapons if, and this is the one thing about nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons, if you did not know,
00:54:45
Speaker
Must be enriched to 90% purity. In order to actually perform. As a nuclear weapon is supposed to perform. But that step. To go from 60% to 90%. Takes less than two weeks estimated.
00:55:00
Speaker
so then obviously they would need to bring build the bomb as well after that. So it would take months to build the bomb. So you're looking at a few months after getting to 90% purity that they would be able to have actual deployable nuclear weapons. But just the fact that it can take them two weeks to get to that 90% and they' then only need two or three months in order to be able to bomb someone with a nuclear weapon is not very good in terms of world security and global security.
00:55:28
Speaker
peace and security. So just wanted to update you with that, but that is crazy. We definitely need to protect ourselves. I think a golden dome is an excellent idea. Another salute to President Donald Trump's administration there.
00:55:42
Speaker
I don't usually do that too many times the program, but you got two of them there. All right. Iran's program has slowed since restarting negotiations with the U.S. in April. Iran's stockpile has amassed the equivalent of one nuclear weapon per month for the past three months. The U.S., United Kingdom, France, and Germany are expected to refer the IAEA report to the United Nations Security Council. Israel has threatened to strike Iran's nuclear facilities if U.S. talks fail.
00:56:14
Speaker
As I mentioned, Iran, again, not far away, not far away from having 90% purity, only less than two weeks if they want to.
00:56:26
Speaker
ah So we really got to hope and pray that this agreement is agreed to between the United States and Iran that will halt their uran your uranium enrichment in exchange for regional cooperation, safety, and peace.
00:56:42
Speaker
Iran, though, as we know, has always looked to strengthen their positions in these sort of negotiations, ah you're usually not willing to give up there um their their nuclear abilities.
00:56:57
Speaker
So as always, we will keep you updated on that there. But yeah, it's very important to take in, right? Because When you look at this, there's and and Trump has threatened, as you see in the slides, military action.
00:57:11
Speaker
But as you can see, there are um ah so a lot of things that go into play here when you're looking at can a deal actually get done and will Iran actually accept that deal?
00:57:26
Speaker
All right, moving on into the Ukraine and Russia war. Give you an update on that. So the Ukraine and Russia war. Ukraine this weekend carried out what could be, y'all, this is crazy, carried out what could be akin to Pearl Harbor.
00:57:46
Speaker
And I am not being facetious in a surprise attack like the Japanese surprised us, though that that back in what was that? 1947. should know that more considering was stationed next to Pearl Harbor for three years.
00:58:00
Speaker
But anyways, Ukraine forces executed a covert strike, which get this destroyed 41 Russian bombers,
00:58:12
Speaker
at airfields up to 2,500 miles from Ukraine. It took 18 months to plan. Russia had no clue. This bold track attack demonstrates Ukraine's expanding capability to hit strategic targets from far away places and ajo and a major escalation in the war. We know we talked to you a few weeks ago about Russia-Ukraine treaty talks, but then Russia attacked Ukraine right after that,
00:58:39
Speaker
This is Ukraine's attack back, except this was expertly done as a former veteran. expertly done attack, kept it covert, under the radar, didn't know about it, and completely took out 41 of their bombers, a bunch of their airfields, took out a bunch of soldiers. Now, we don't have a casualty count, so I don't actually know. I can't tell you that, but I assume there were soldiers in those areas, Russian soldiers.
00:59:05
Speaker
What a crazy attack by Ukraine to take back, you know, at least some motivation, motivation some momentum in their side of ah The war, which we know here, right? We're not going to lie to anyone here.
00:59:19
Speaker
Russia started this war. This is Russia's fault. If that's what happened to them because Ukraine fought back. Well, um some people would say that's the F.A.F.O.
00:59:29
Speaker
kind of business. I may. or may not agree. But what I do know is that Ukraine really, really got them um in a bind on this one because also...
00:59:45
Speaker
This was after the face-to-face talks where they said that they weren't going to bomb each other. And they've just proven. Now, again, Ukraine was responding, but they've proven that these ceasefire talks between any of these countries that we talk about on this program are more likely than not going to probably not actually come to fruition.
01:00:07
Speaker
ah President Donald Trump expressed deep happiness at Russia last weekend when they bombed Ukraine. We'll see what he says about Zelensky here in the coming week, but I would assume he's going to say something.
01:00:20
Speaker
ah negative about that, even though they were just protecting ah themselves. And in response to Russians barrage of 367 drones and missiles that happened last weekend in their capital city of Kiev, killing at least 12 and injuring dozens more.
01:00:39
Speaker
So again, we will keep you updated on that news. But yes, just know that the ceasefire is up in pretty much every single war that we have talked about. All of these different places, Israel, Hamas, Iran, Ukraine, Russia war, all of these ceasefires are completely over and we are back to full throttle attacks on different countries within the world. Again, we need to figure out a way to ah End these wars because, again, y'all, as I continue to say to you on this program, the United States, we get all the shit that rolls uphill from the rest of the world.
01:01:19
Speaker
Not to not not not not for a lack of a double negative there. ah not Not including, we're also including global wars.
01:01:30
Speaker
Those affect the United States. You see, we have to supply money and weapons to Ukraine in order to defend them, which we would have to do for Taiwan versus China, ah which we have to do for Israel versus Hamash.
01:01:41
Speaker
That's affecting us. But then as President Donald Trump tries to play the fence with the communist side of things as well, talking to those dictators, trying to get them to come down. then you're also having to give things up to those. And it's just, we don't need to be involved that much anyways.
01:01:56
Speaker
I've always said that we need to back more out of necessarily people's business. Now that doesn't mean we're not going to be the world power. We always have to be the world power to secure our safety. We always have to be the most foremost global power, but it doesn't mean we have to be everywhere, anywhere all the same time.
01:02:14
Speaker
Cool. All right, one last note. The United Kingdom and European Union announced a trade and security deal yesterday. ah Sorry, last weekend. We didn't get to talk about this last week.
01:02:25
Speaker
Marking a reset in relations. You'll remember the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union and become their own country, basically. Owned country anyways, but they were a part of the 27 member block.
01:02:38
Speaker
Then they left that. Now they've come back to at least work out deals in terms of security, trade, weapons, other things of the sorts. So sort of becoming like a...
01:02:50
Speaker
Canada to United States, more of a sort of a partnership or lack thereof, as we know, since Donald Trump has come in office. But ah more along those lines is what the United Kingdom and EU is doing. The European Union does remain UK's largest trading partner. That's obviously after the United States um and after India.
01:03:10
Speaker
India is the second largest trading partner for EU. um But United Kingdom exports to the EU have fallen 21% since Brexit. The agreement is projected to add nearly $12 billion to the United Kingdom's economy by 2040. It includes reduced border checks on food and agricultural products, expanded e-gate access for British travelers at EU airports, a 12-year extension of the European Union's fishing rights in United Kingdom's waters, and finally, United Kingdom participation in a 100% and $70 billion, billion dollar European Union defense procurement e initiative.
01:03:56
Speaker
All right. So that is, that's the update there on that one, as I forgot to give you the slide on the, I got, I have my slides in order. I don't know how they got out of order there, but that's okay.
01:04:06
Speaker
That's okay. It was a really, really, no, what? No, that's not what I said to do. Okay. I get it. Okay. Remove. There's really, really good show today. Restream ran good.
01:04:19
Speaker
It did. Now, there are some things I'm really used to on StreamYard, which I'm going to have to work with here if I decide to go with Restream. um The chat is a little harder to deal with that first, but I do like more than StreamYard how the chat can stay right there so you don't have to keep going back and forth like you do on StreamYard. Now, um there's less layouts.
01:04:43
Speaker
and Only six layouts versus the, the well, then again, the StreamYard I was on when I was with the Bottom Line Sports had more options because it was we paid for more because we have four of us.
01:04:54
Speaker
This obviously hasn't, but this is good. Six, five layouts, excuse me, six layouts for the free version. um They have scenes. Really like that there. So we'll see.
01:05:05
Speaker
Good first one with Restream. Again, i'm goingnna I'm going to convey with Clubber D. See how he likes Riverside. Don't forget. click UFC 316, Clubber D the Combat G. Yours truly, sports professor. We'll be on 4 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday. So look out for that as well.
01:05:22
Speaker
Find me tomorrow at Country Box. I don't know if Skywalker is going to be covering that. But if he is, I will be there. Jimmy Adams, promoter, lovely ah wife, um actually a great group of of guys, boxers, the crew, JT, the announcer, everybody's just good. I can't wait to get back. It's been too long.
01:05:45
Speaker
I haven't been there since last year because remember, I've been traveling so much. I was two months back in In DC, Maryland, Virginia area. I came back for a couple months. But Country Box, I wasn't able to go to one, to a couple of them. So I had to do the stream with Skywalker. Again, shout out Skywalker86 and Papi Chunyeo.
01:06:02
Speaker
We did the streams. And then the last one was canceled. So it has actually been one, two, three, four. It has been has been four four months.
01:06:15
Speaker
I went to the one when I got back in like February and March. so But I missed
01:06:22
Speaker
I missed all of May, all of April, and I think all March. So it's been like three months since I've been able to attend Country Box. so I'm super excited for that. Check me out there tomorrow. I'm going go live from there for a little bit as well.
01:06:33
Speaker
And then Wednesday, the professor's seminar Monday. Damn, I can't believe I had that on the whole time because I can't even hear it. Can I? No.
01:06:44
Speaker
Anyways, hope that didn't happen the whole time. I really apologize if it did, if you heard an echo. ah But anyways, Seminole Mente Sports Edition Wednesday. I'll be talking and NHL playoffs, and NBA playoffs. We'll talk the finals. You'll get my prediction. We'll do a whole breakdown.
