0:00 I watched all seven Harry Potters, dude. Or eight. Don't ████ with me. >> Eight. Eight movies. >> Eight of them. Holy crap. >> Should have been seven. Should have been seven. >> By the way, that references recently like last week he texted us. He's like, "How come nobody told us that Dumbledore dies and welcome to 2026, even though some videos have already gone up. What's up everybody? It's a Careful [applause] Boys. We've made it another year. This is our first time shooting in 2026. Um, and you know what? We're going to start it off by just making some predictions. Any predictions that you think are going to happen this year, whether we go into a new war, whether somebody's going to win an Oscar, >> uh, whether people are getting divorced, anything. Just just throw out any predictions. >> I have a conspiracy series. >> Okay, >> let's go. >> Nobody acknowledged his neck, by the way. >> I think Trump might try to finesse some

0:53 things and work on a third term. >> Y, >> that's not a crazy prediction at all. They were kind of priming it >> cuz I think this fool's ████ just wiped out Waltz, right? I know this fool's going to go after Newsome and he's going to keep going down the list and they're going to be like, >> "No candidates." >> Yeah. Who are the them's going to have? Oh, I've been doing a great job. Maybe we amend the Constitution. That's what I think. >> That's going to be tough though. You have to do a convention of the states. It's a whole thing. You're going to get three fours of them to vote for it. >> See, Steve knows the actual ████ I'm just guessing. [laughter] >> It's public It's public school stuff. >> Really? >> Yeah. Yeah, if like half of America didn't hate him, if like half of America was on the fence and half of America loved him, I think that would be a conversation. But I do think it's a good conspiracy theory, >> but that's one of my prediction on it. >> Also, it's a new rule that happened after World War II.

1:43 >> Correct. >> So, it's not >> Oh, >> it could be contested. >> Public school knowledge. >> You learned that at public school? >> Well, FDR had like four terms. >> Yeah. What the ████ >> Public school knowledge. [laughter] That's why they made the rule cuz I mean it's because it was during wartime and he went back to back to back cuz people wanted stability. >> Yeah. >> Wow. You guys are smart. >> JFK had like 25% of a term. >> Damn. >> He didn't he wanted in I think. >> Oh, I predict we'll finally find out what's in the Epcene files. Just kidding. [laughter] >> Well, they they released it. >> Oh, whatever that was. It's all the same ████ as >> black back. >> Yeah. >> Just like the UFO ████ >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. this is um not a conspiracy, but people are already saying like the next is Iran. >> They're already talking about it >> like in terms of what we're going to invade,

2:33 >> attack or deal with. And then next is um annexing um Greenland, >> but I mean that's what Trump said. He said openly >> Iran already has their own couple uprisings too right now. >> So it's primed for uh dealing. And then Greenland looks a lot more like necessary if we got like enemies really at our gates though, right? That's the whole point of the strategic location and stuff. >> It's territory that Russia wants, China wants, everybody wants it. Yeah, >> cuz they got oil. >> No, Greenland. Greenland. Green. >> Oh, Greenland. Greenland >> cuz it's in like it's in like this area that's like in the middle of the ocean, you know, >> and then the fishing and all that stuff. >> Good fishing, good beaches. [laughter] >> That's why we need it. >> Yeah. >> The resorts. >> They want a Trump tower everywhere. What major company do you think is going to leave California in 2026? >> Are there any left, bro? >> That's considered major maybe.

3:24 >> Cuz Inonata's already gone, right? And In is known to be a Southwest chain. >> It was a It's California is their state. Like that's their branding. >> Valero's gone. Chevron's gone. >> Chevron's gone. That's huge. >> Yeah. Valero. The Valero one leaving was crazy cuz they had to take like a billion dollar hit in order to do that. >> Yep, >> dude. And they're like worth it, which is crazy. >> I mean, that's big time. Uh, other companies, I mean, once like all the tech companies start bouncing, too. >> Oh, like from Silicon, >> are we are we fully out of California yet? >> Yeah. >> We are JK. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Dope. >> Yeah. We're one of the big companies. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Chevron JK. >> Should we get ready to go back? >> I don't know anyone that has a good story of like doing business in California. >> Mhm. >> I don't know. >> Triple A. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. I don't know anyone that's like,

4:15 "Dude, I moved from Texas to California cuz it's more pro business." >> Oh, you know who's doing good is uh State Farm. >> Yeah, they're killing it, dude. >> But didn't they pull out? >> No. No. [laughter] Absolutely not. >> That's true. They did pull out, too. >> Just State Farm and mattress firm. That's it. >> Just like Absolutely. You deny your claim. We deny your claim. >> How likely do you think uh China would take on like take over Taiwan this year? That's a good one. >> They're they're flirting with it heavy. >> I actually think that this Venezuela thing hurts that a little bit >> because of uh >> because of the oil thing. >> Yeah. Cuz China was on the day that Maduro got kidnapped, the Chinese delegation was there having a meeting for a oil deal. >> So they did it right in front of them and people are saying it was timed to be like, "Yo, we could do whatever we want."

5:05 >> I think that's one of the most gangster ████ ever. Like regardless of what your thoughts on politics are, but it's like some art of war ████ right? Like you want to strike when everyone's fatfed and happy and if they just shook hands with China, they're like, "Hell yeah." And ████ like 5 hours later, you're a hostage. That's [laughter] ████ crazy. >> It's insane. >> But you know how smart the long game is in American imperialism. So um they couldn't do this during the time Chavez was president. I actually like Chavez. I thought he was badass. But um they had to wait for Maduro to come in because Maduro is a weaker he's a vice. He So like you know anytime there's a dictatorship if they don't get the next person in line ready it's just a matter of time till like that charismatic number one leader just disappears and then like the person who's feeling it. It never works the same as the other.

5:55 >> Yeah. You're left with like a weak prince or something. >> Yeah. I mean, I think North Korea is only the one that was able to transfer the power well and maybe like Soviet, but like >> um >> but he even had to play a little bit of war games inside of his own family, >> kill his own brother. Yeah. So, uh >> during Chavez's time, they they did really well, but then ████ started declining cuz they couldn't maintain the um the oil. Like, you know how America is saying like it it ████ they stole our ████ Well, basically when he took over the country, he just kicked out all the oil companies and took it over for himself >> and all that infrastructure was kind of rotting over there. >> So, they didn't have the same engineers and all that stuff. So, they couldn't maintain it. So, their reserves is crazy, but they could only produce x amount cuz they don't have like the brains and ████ So, then >> and then what they were doing is just taking like the X amount and just paying

6:45 each other. So, it wasn't going back to the people at all. >> No, public school knowledge. >> This episode is brought to you by Lucy. It's 100% pure nicotine, tobaccof free.

So remember during COVID, uh the economy went to ████ and

8:27 Venezuelan their dollars were so bad. >> Oh, that inflation was crazy. >> They were like, I'm hungry and all that and they started like all coming to like different countries. So like they were going to other Latin countries so they could like eat food and ████ So they destabilized it. people were unhappy with the government. So like ████ like this now it's like we're looking for a savior. And I was like that's ████ genius because we can't do that to North Korea right now. No way. >> We're going to they're going to they got their so unlocked that like if we took Kim Jong-un >> the North Koreans would be like ████ you America. >> But then if you come in and then they're like thank you America >> the right time. >> Yeah. Not even just them but like the entire world too. I mean, obviously there's a lot of people in a lot of countries condemning like Trump's actions and stuff, but if that same dictator is showing that he's like a bad person to lead their people, then

9:17 there's like a reason for the savior even from the outside perspective from optics point of view, you know? >> Yep. >> But who's going to be Reek? Like what Joe is saying, like who's going to be like, "No, I don't want to go with you. Don't rescue me." All that ████ Like, you know, Game of Thrones reference, right? >> I watched all of it twice. Oh, wow. So, you know who Rick is? Don't ████ with me, dude. [laughter] >> Stop ████ with Bart, dude. >> Yes. Yes. I do like it when you talk about like that's super gangster and you look like this. [laughter] >> I watched all seven Harry Potters, dude. Or eight. Don't ████ with >> eight. Eight movies. >> Eight of them. Holy crap. >> Should have been seven. Should have been seven. >> By the way, that references recently like last week he texted us. He's like, "How come nobody told us that Dumbledore dies?" >> He's like, "How come nobody told me Dumbledore dies?" And we're like, >> he knew the meme. >> Yeah, he knew the meme. >> I don't know what Dumbledore was. >> You forgot the meme, though. >> Yeah. Remember the kid that drove by the book the LIGHT DOUBLE DOOR.

10:08 >> NO. HE GOES, "Snape kills Dumbledore." Which is a massive one of the LADIES IS LIKE, "NO." [screaming] >> MY SADDEST moment was when Dobby dies, though. You know Dobby? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know Dobby. >> I got hard when he died. >> Yeah. >> That's crazy. >> So, based off of all that information from public school, do you predict that gas prices are going to go down in America? >> That's what everyone thinks, but it's been going down. Like, think about during CO it was $9. >> Yeah, >> that is crazy. So they can they like with the supply we have now they can change it >> but the argument right now right is so all that energy that China would have to use to attack Taiwan now they're really resource obviously reliant right now because they have so much so many people so they're so reliant on exporting and importing all kinds of products and especially oil they import so much oil so the argument is now that now that has

11:00 been removed from their arsenal and so they're less likely to attack Taiwan this It's crazy though cuz Taiwan is surrounded and they're doing live fire exercises. So it feels to me it's like the military version of like I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. And you're like what if I was Taiwan I'm like what the ████ Why are there jets flying over me? ████ missiles and ████ That's crazy. >> And imagine like the War Games connections with that. Like also just with Taiwan being an ally for America like the decision to you know kidnap Maduro is also in lie of like trying to slow down China's like aggressive nature like that's kind of crazy that for sure is what it is >> like I think it's they're trying to like what can we do to disband the whole bricks concept everything's like chess pieces it's not like this is fighting this is there's like all these things at play and this can dismantle this which

11:52 will dismantle this and dismount. This is ████ crazy. >> That's why unlike Bush, Trump is out there saying it's absolutely about the oil. >> Yeah, [laughter] that's crazy. I was like, thank God someone's being honest about it. It's like, yeah, we need >> cool. I don't have to be called a conspiracy theorist then, like because I think it's about the oil. >> I like that he came out and said that. >> Yeah. >> And I like that they didn't really [clears throat] waste any soldiers lives for a pointless war. Well, I heard and I don't know how true this is, but I heard that the there was a deal done with the CIA and the Venezuelan military. So, they stood down and they let us pick up Maduro, which is why there was really no no crazy firefights or any reports of >> When I saw the reports, I was like, Steve, it's going to get hard cuz it was Delta Force that did it. >> Delta Force, I'm >> telling you, dude, cuz I saw I read a CIA report. Delta Force has been scoping Maduro out since August. I heard they >> watching every daily pattern so they can

12:43 predict everything he's going to >> I heard they built his whole complex and then they kept running it. >> They did that too. >> They only used stun grenades the whole time, too. >> They were spamming st grenades. I heard >> I also heard they were able to confiscate 600,000 Bitcoin. Did you see that? >> What? >> Insane. It's insane. >> Holy ████ [laughter] >> Damn. >> Who's Who's our buddy who couldn't make Delta? >> All everyone that came on this show got >> didn't make Delta. >> None of them could. >> Every time I see him, I'm always like, "Yeah, yeah, he didn't make Delta." Don, >> Don, Don, Don, I wanted to text that guy so bad and be like and be like, "Hey, dude, like those guys all made Delta. That's crazy." Like that. What a crazy what a crazy story. >> Don's so G2. That's crazy. >> I love that guy. >> You know what's going to happen in in 2026 is I think used cars are going to drop significantly >> in prices. >> It's going to lose its uh like current value. A lot of them are because because the dealerships are now starting to um

13:34 not now starting to but they amassed so much inventory and no one can afford any of it. >> So you think new cars are going to drop in value >> like used anything that's like I don't know about new cars but I for sure they haven't yet adjusted the used car market. So it's got to happen next. >> They're having some some hearing on Capitol Hill. I don't know if you guys heard about this but like it's about that. It's they're they're trying to get like the the head of Toyota or no the head of Ford I think American companies to come and explain why the hell are new cars so expensive. >> 2020 cars with like 5,000 mi just sitting on like like such low mileage older cars cuz they just never did anything with them and places like CarMax you all the prices are starting to go down a little. >> So they have new car inventory just sitting on the lot. >> New used cars that just never like sold.

14:24 I like to think that's cuz everybody wised up and they realize that buying new is ████. [laughter] >> Well, new cars are unaffordable. Like a fully loaded Silverado is like 80 grand and it's a pickup truck, right? It's like who the ████ going to buy that ████ That's crazy. >> Well, wasn't there like a mad shortage during co >> the chip shortage? >> Oh, >> and then maybe they overstocked thinking like >> a new car these days is unaffordable like for the class of car it is, it's it shouldn't be that price. Even used cars. There's 2016 Honda Accord is 25K right now. >> What the freak? >> Wasn't it 25K back then? >> Exactly. >> That's literally crazy. >> Cuz there there's cars in like Australia, Asia, all over the world where you could get one for like thousands of dollars. >> Like under 10 grand. >> There's like a there's like that the mini Japanese mini truck. You get that ████ for like eight grand brand new.

15:15 >> It's crazy. And I think that's what they're trying to prevent.
