#WeAreThePeople space. #Distractions 02 Oct 2026

And then, you know, doing that whole thing. Yeah, and that's about it. Just yesterday I went to the doctor. I have to get, oh God, I need distance and reading glasses. It's ridiculous. I'm getting old sucks. And, you know, so they dilate your eyes. Thank God the place was right around the block from my house literally right around the block. I don't think I could see straight and tell about, I don't know, like eight o'clock last night. So it's nice that that dilation stuff though, is no fun. Just sucks. Anything with your eyes? Like, as well. I think Miles got into. Good morning, everyone. Weird thing happened. I was in the punch bowl and Marga was talking about, you know, politics, of course, but they said that, well, she said that they, you know, North Carolina has the first primaries and then they have the first early voting in 10 days. And so I was like, kind of taking them back by that because like four days ago, I went to go get my tabs. You know, I hate doing that, going to the DMV. But in the same building when I went in there, I thought that they were registering people to vote. So I kind of looked over in that area and then I looked into this big room. And you were, you could vote. They had the voting booths in there. And so I went up and I asked them, of course, I was in the wrong county. I couldn't vote there, but they gave me, you know, a little website to go to to find out where I could vote. So I guess evidently in Minnesota, voting's already started. So I was kind of shocked by that because I haven't seen that before. Yeah, I know mail-in voting is sorry, truth. I know mail-in voting is starting in a lot of places. It's starting here in New Jersey, but I didn't know that early voting has also started. Yeah, that sounds fishy to me, you know. But there's no justification for that. What, so ever I don't give a shit. Why don't anybody tell me? You know, I don't even even wear a month ahead. I mean, come on, dude. One day. I was surprised by that, true of sight. I just, and so, you know, I wanted to check it out. That's why I went over there. So, yeah, there were people in there voting. And that was in, I didn't even know what county I was in. It's like Chicago County. You don't even know what that is in Minnesota, but it was just odd that that was actually happening. And, you know, I didn't have any problems at the DMV. I was number three on the list, because they went in the morning. I just hate going there. Hopefully we can do this stuff online, that we don't have to just sit there all the time because of American.gov. We can just get rid of these people. These buildings are just like palaces. And then the road, you go out to the road and it's fallen apart, but the buildings are really nice. Yeah, I'm not sure about online voting, but we'll see. No, I was talking about the DMV that I can go online and get a little stuff online. No, not voting. Okay, misunderstood. Yeah, no, DMV is always a pain in the ass, always has been, always will be, depending on your state, it can be worse. Luckily, we're in a small town in Tennessee, so you can just walk in there and they know nobody there. Ever, I'm in fact, I've ever seen anybody in there. Every time I go in there, not one person is there, but that's the benefit of small town America, you know. You know, can I bring something up that I think is just fascinating that because they relied on us to be the global police people, a lot of these militaries really kind of downsize because they were stealing the money anyway, they weren't putting it into their security, they were relying on us. And now that we're building all these steel mills, we're like bringing everything home here, it looks like we're gonna be building ships and navies for these other countries, because they don't have them anymore. You know, Japan needs it, South Korea, the UK, even the UK. So that's a lot of money that we're gonna be making. So I just think that that's, you know, how things can boomerang on your ass and it definitely has across the world that these people like, oh, let's rely on the US to take care of us. Well, now you gotta pay for it, sorry. Yeah, it's been going on a while though, a lot of our old boats that we were on and using the military, they were sold to different nations all across the globe. So yeah, I mean, that's always been happened, but us doing more manufacturing and creating our own ships, that's must. And if they wanna contract us to create them ships, great. You know what I mean? More money. I know there's just a few of us in here right now, simply because I don't think Punchbowl is still going and I started it early so I can end it early because it's Friday, Marlon's playing Huki, so we're gonna play Huki. Well, you know, it's funny. I really, I almost was gonna pull the trigger today and open up the space I told Marlon I would do it yesterday because he kept saying, like, why don't you just do it? And I did, I like, practiced it. I looked at it, but then I chickened out. So, oh well. I woke up to 39 degrees this morning. 85 here, dude. It's like we had the air back on again last night. It's just, I can't, I can't. It's gotta go wild. I like it to be in the 70s this time of year. You know, just nice enough to wear that sweatshirt or that flannel. It's October 1st, dude. Get with the program, Mother Nature. I love great months, especially out here, all the leaves and changing colors and all that kind of stuff. It's nice. So, it's beautiful in Minnesota. You know, sugar maples are bright red. You know, it's really pretty. Yeah, some of the leaves are changing here, Miles. I love, this is my favorite time of year. I love it. We are actually figuring out what we're gonna be doing in my husband and I always do fall things. Usually we go up to Sleepy Hollow, New York. It's right over the tap in Z for us. You know, usually we'll do something like that. Or we find other places to go to that are within the area with whether it be Pennsylvania or in our own state here, but we always, you know, look for stuff and everything. So, yeah, that's always a nice thing. But what I really wanted to say quick was, you know, I woke up around, I don't know, 330 this morning. I had a little bit of a headache and I got, went downstairs, I'd slip and do the phone. And as in our president, I just have to say how incredible he is, he's the machine. Not only did he do two rallies yesterday, campaigning over Texas, they told him that they couldn't fly the helicopter nor the plane to Oklahoma. So he said, well, then we'll take the beast. How fast can you go with that? And they said, probably about almost 100 miles an hour. He's like, well, then getting the car, let's go. And that's what he did. He drove from Texas to Oklahoma, made it in time for the rally, told them he'd be a little bit late, but he was still gonna show up and he did. And then, and then after all that flew back home, I don't think he got back into Washington, our Andrews Air Force Base, he got there like a 245 in the morning. And he's doing it all over again today. I don't know how many rallies he has planned. I mean, maybe there's other people I can talk about, I see AJ just jumped up. But incredible, the guy never stops, never ever stops. I mean, I don't know how he does it really. I don't know how he does it. Well, maybe they found the cocaine that was left. Don't waste, it's nothing the last, sorry. I just had to throw it in there. But no, I don't think that at all. AJ, before we go to you, so we have more people that kind of jump in here. Let me say hi to Janina. Hey, Matthew, how are you? Yeah, life is life. Oh my gosh, I was just outside with my dog. And you know, it's been like Uber dreary here. Cause I live in the middle of the state at the bottom and it's like, okay, when are we gonna ever see sun? So it's threatening rain, but I thought it started raining. There was this wind that blew through here. And I swear to you, every single leaf on this one tree got blown up and it was almost full. I'm looking at it and I go, I'm so glad that's not my yard. Although I love going out there with my leaf blower. I wouldn't have cared, but my neighbor is gonna be crossing up a storm when he sees that the whole tree, I mean, literally the whole tree minus the squirrel's nest is down in his yard. I feel so sorry for him. At least it all dumped in one thing. So you're not constantly going out every day. He's got one sweep up and you're done. Dude, I thought it was raining. That's the way it sounded. My dog's looking at me like, but mom, it's raining. And I go, it's not raining. It's the leaves. So he's looking at the leaves and he's just sitting there kind of watching the leaves blow off this tree with me. It was funny. My dog's a loot when he wants to be. But yeah, I was shocked. I was like, well, no more leaves off that tree. That's funny. Well, we have our lurking fish who came in here. And A.D. we're starting to fill up. I know you got news, but quick a load of mad dog. Thank you. Hey, this is just a word of advice for everybody. If you've neglected to do the old poop scoop in your yard, this is fall. And something like what just we were told about, where the tree drops all at once. If you haven't poop scooped before then, you're going to be in trouble. So do it quickly, falls here. And that's it. Good morning, truth, Julie, AJ, Miles, and that lurking fish. It's a wonderful day. Yes, avoid the under the leaves. I guess I don't know. Good advice. But all right, AJ, thanks for your patience. We're just trying to get this space filled. So I understand, brother. Good morning. Please have Miles go first. And I'll go after that. I think that's a residual hand. Is it? OK. Well, good morning. We are the people. Good morning, Patriots. Of course, I have a briefing for you. But I apologize for those of you that followed me over from the punch wall. You're going to hear the same briefing. But a couple more things that broke since I have ended that brief. But if I come across rather a Kirk or something, that has to do with the fact that punch ball did a stellar job pissing me off first thing in the morning. But what else is new? Going back years on this. I would dare. I witnessed it, my friend. But I'll let it go. Right. I know. Oh my god. First things first, Iran, this is by Treasury Secretary Scott Besan. Iran loaded zero crude oil onto tankers in September. The Trump administration is cutting off Iran's Iranian regime's most critical source of revenue, operation economic outcasts, severing the economic lifelines that have allowed Tehran to finance its terrorist agenda. Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is because a fiscal month is behind us and of September. So now the figures are even more dependable and going forward with this. Pivoting to Eric Donnery, who reported two days after Secretary of State Mark Rubio revoked his visa, Bolivia's attorney general Roger Mariaca has been arrested for prepuriting money laundering and drug trafficking. Rubio's State Department said Mariaca took bribes to help drug traffickers and violent criminals evade justice. Police caught four people sneaking bundles of cash out of his house in an ambulance. And 14 people have now been arrested, including four prosecutors. Bolivia's government says the arrest came with the cooperation of US. Marco was on to him holding nothing back, which is wonderful. Our Secretary of State is doing a stellar job as you guys have noticed and just wanted to remind everybody that he was also temporarily on the, I believe, national security, what's the term? Commitial NSC essentially in a temporary way. But the president Trump, I believe, was last week that signed to make him a permanent member of the national
