wrong suits. We lost smoke, which has actually been a while. RIP Tuesday. The world is now facing the worst fuel shortages since co. We were warned. Everyone is so focused on Iran that hardly anyone is talking about what Israel is doing in Lebanon. We got Jack Reacher in real life beating up his neighbor. And there's actually some updates to that. Open AI came out and refused to continue making slop and they abruptly shut down Sora. So, goodbye gay Jake Paul. >> I'm gay. >> Which Alex weirdly loved so much we we probably need to talk about that one day. The UK just scrapped short-term prison sentences in one of the biggest change to jail terms in decades. And I have some tragic news. There will not be a Saturday video as well. There will be something else instead. We'll talk about that at the end. We're going to be talking about all of that and so much more. So, let's stop the yapping. And for the only time you're going to hear it this week, let's go. >> Okay, let's get right into this. Today, we were warned. The whole world was warned that this could happen. And guess what? It now actually is. The Philippines just became the first country in the entire world to declare a state of emergency because of the fuel shortages linked to the war. This is because a staggering 98% of the fuel that the Philippines imports needs to pass through the Gulf region should have damn diversified. And as a result, the price of diesel and petrol in the country has more than doubled in a matter of weeks. Daddy, just imagine your fuel bill 50 bucks. Now it's a hundred. That's close to unaffordable. And here's the thing. Let We're not only laughing at the Well, we're not laughing at the Philippines at all. But if we were going to say, "Hi, you should have diversified." Well, guess what? It's not even that. Everyone is suffering. The whole world is now facing its biggest fuel restrictions since co Slovenia just became the first EU state to begin fuel rationing. So now you're only allowed to buy a maximum of 50 LERs per day. Meanwhile, the IEA has advised their 32 member countries which includes like so many. Australia, Germany, France, Japan, the UK, the United States, but we'll talk about them in a second cuz they're a little bit segregated in these regards. And the IEA urged these member countries to implement various fuel saving measures, including, and this one I thought was the craziest, which is why I'm telling you about it, uh, lowering the highway speed limit by 10 km per hour. So, they got a whole they got a whole list of, you know, fuel saving measures that they usually implement in times of emergency, and this is one of them. Imagine that. Now, you're only allowed to drive this speed. China's affected, too. They've temporarily banned fuel exports to protect their domestic supply. Australia, they're facing what's being described as a national crisis. Is that true, guys? You facing a national crisis. Well, apparently hundreds of their petrol stations are running dry from panic buying and shortages. Keep in mind, there are thousands. So, hundreds running dry. It's not that crazy, but it's still pretty crazy. Uh they even briefly debated setting a $40 buying limit. They did reject that, but the fact that they had to debate it, it's pretty significant. South Korea, they're considering working from home policies. I mean, we spoke about all those different countries in the previous video. So, remember all of those different countries in the previous video that we that had fuel restrictions. Well, just imagine that on top of these cuz we're not going through them again. South Korea home working from home policies. Uh, and they've also set price limits for fuel for the first time in decades. And that also includes other countries including Croatia, Hungary, Brazil, Thailand. I mean, Cuba, they're really struggling this week. Uh, in fact, they had numerous power outages like countrywide and uh this is only being made worse by oil shortages because they had their own huge problems before the war kicked off. Pakistan, they've closed schools for 2 weeks because of it. And Japan actually, they will begin their biggest ever release of oil from their strategic reserves this week. Now as for the US um while the whole world is kind of feeling the pain when asked when Trump in fact was asked about the straight of Hormuz he said this >> but all you need is a few people dropping mines here and there and you know you you louse it up. So uh we need I I would really I'm demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory. It's the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it. You could make the case that maybe we shouldn't even be there at all because we don't need it. We have a lot of oil being the number one producer anywhere in the world times two. >> Now that doesn't mean that uh the US is unaffected by this because I have read reports that fuel in the US and you guys can confirm in the comments that's been going up. But in terms of like national emergency, state of emergency type beat, the US is kind of okay on that front, which is ironic because, you know, the US and Israel are the ones that started the war and here we are suffering. But h all right. Well, yeah, that that's the story about that. Let's move on to more news. Moving on. Also, on a much more serious note, while the whole world is watching Iran, something serious is unfolding in Lebanon, which could have catastrophic consequences. You see, draw your eyes to this. This is Lebanon's longest river, and it cuts, as you can see, right across the country, acting as this natural barrier uh between the north of the country and that bottom south portion, which is right against Israel. And speaking of, Israel recently made a pretty stunning announcement. They warned all civilians in Lebanon that's south of the Latani River, which is that portion right there at the bottom, to evacuate their homes and move north. This is because they ordered the destruction of all bridges across this river. Technically, they didn't say all, but they ordered the destruction of bridges that go across this river. And they claimed that Hezbollah are using these bridges to send reinforcements and weapons to the south of the country which is where they're, you know, they're predominantly uh having those military operations. In fact, we covered last week, remember Steve Sweeney when he was covering this story, he was standing right by one of these bridges and covering this story when Israel dropped that bomb. Now, here's the thing. Human rights groups are seeing this and they are sounding the alarm, warning that these bridges are not just used by Hezbollah. They are civilian bridges too. In fact, predominantly civilian bridges and destroying them, they say, risks isolating any remaining uh Lebanese citizens that are in the south, which aid workers that are there estimate to still be in the hundreds of thousands. Now, it goes without saying, but without these bridges, you know, fleeing military conflict, which we'll get to in a second, becomes a lot more difficult. and also access to essentials like aid, fuel, food that could be disrupt completely disrupted in some areas but in other areas slowed. But here's the thing, the bridges is not the full story here. It actually gets a lot more significant because Israel have now announced that they are expanding their ground operations, their invasion into southern Lebanon, warning that this will be a prolonged operation. In fact, as we spoke about two videos ago earlier this month, they had a military proposal that was presented to the government to call up 450,000 reserveists for this operation. Now, as of recording, it is still not approved or denied. But if it is soon approved, then it would become Israel's largest ground invasion into Lebanon in 20 years. A senior Israeli official told Axios that we're going to be doing what we did in Gaza, referring to the flattening of those buildings, which they say that Hezbollah are using to store weapons and launch attacks from. I mean, for comparison, if they did do that, well, UN satellite analysis, they suggest that approximately 81% of all structures on the Gaza Strip are damaged. So, if they do do that to the southern portion of Lebanon, we could be witnessing something truly, truly serious in the coming months. And then on top of all of that, yesterday, Israel's finance minister suggested that this conflict needs to end in radical change. Now, this radical change that he was suggesting is saying that Israel's new border with Lebanon should be moved all the way up to the Latani River. Yeah. So, as I said, not a lot of people are talking about this one because everyone is focused on what is going on in Iran. Uh, so thought that I needed a bit of coverage. That being said, move on. Also, since we last spoke, Sora is being shut down by Open AI. I mean, they just released, which is pretty crazy. And for anyone that doesn't know what Sora is, look, there's just no hope at this point. I'm not going to waste everyone's time by repeating things you should already know. Anyway, sorry about the uh the outburst. OpenAI, they just abruptly announced that they are no longer going to pursue this app. Hm. just you wait to hear the reason why because maybe this is the start of a big shift in the AI industry because remember that open AI is arguably one of the leaders and the OGs in the industry. So if they do something significant will others follow? They told the BBC that the company wishes to focus on other development projects such as robotics that will quote help people solve realworld problems and physical tasks. And while they say they will still offer the image generation through chatbt, they want to move away from video generative tools generative. Okay. No, I didn't. Now, that is really interesting because Sora arguably had the most backlash amongst the public saying, "Really? Really? This is what we're going to use AI for? Huh? To create slop? Really?" So, it almost feels as if, and obviously they're not saying this verbatim, but it feels as if they're like, "Yeah, actually low-key, let's focus on using AI and developing AI to solve real world problems, not to entertain the masses with slop." One of the major points they received a lot of criticism for was using likenesses of individuals who have already passed away. And so, their families came out and said like, "How dare you?" like Morgan Freeman, the Robin Williams family, they came out. In fact, last year, Sora actually had to ban deep fakes of Martin Luther King because his family complained as well. So, you got to wonder, is it, you know, because they actually want to use AI to create something useful with meaning or were they just trying to avoid the nightmare of IP and copyright and that sort of thing? I don't know. But either way, they gave up a lot of money for it because this also ended their $1 billion deal with Disney, which would have been, you know, them using Disney characters for Chatt and Sora. And you know, that didn't come from Disney ending it. It actually came from Open AI. So, they did put their money where their mouth is, but guess what? Disney was not like, "Yeah, you know what? Fair enough." They just basically said, "We'll find someone else." And there's plenty of them. So, you know, even if Open AI goes this direction, there's going to be plenty of others that are willing to fill that space. That's the free market. But the question is, what do you think? Do you think that it's a noble thing for Chad to say, "Nah, we not in the slop game anymore." Um, that sounded horrendous. Or do you think they should have just stuck with it? Because even if they leave it, uh, someone else will fill the void. Let me know your thoughts. But for now, moving on. Also, you need to hear this story today because this pack of seven kidnapped dogs, they just pulled off one of the greatest escapes in K9 history. Disney, speaking about you, you better be taking notes right now because if I don't see a movie generated in AI, there are certain moments when you realize that you are the problem. This was one of them. So, let me get to it. Earlier this month, these dogs were stolen. Stolen from their homes in a rural village in China. How dare you? First of all, >> how dare you? >> Second of all, it gets worse because they were actually on their way to a meat market. All right. Well, Disney is known for having some pretty dark backstories. So, with some of their movies, that's definitely right up their alley. But good story is there's a twist. They managed to free themselves from the back of this truck as they were heading there. And you know, despite there being a German Shepherd in this pack, it was the corgi that was leading it. I I believe a corgi was from Britain, isn't it? >> The queen's dogs. >> Britann's dogs. I hear a voice in my ear saying >> it was. >> Oh, before there was now there's no queen. Well, point is German Shepherd or the queen's corgi. Clearly, the Queen's Corgi is out there. Well, we'll call that that one Michael Scoffield because they escaped. But that's not even the crazy spot because think about it. When they escaped, they didn't run their separate directions. They all stuck together. Come on. How is this not a Disney movie? And they ted over 10 miles all the way back to their home village. They went through busy highways and all sorts of terrain, but they never left a single one behind. It was the friends that we made along the way. uh story arc. And guess what? Some pedestrians even tried to help these dogs, but they ignored them. I wonder why. We just got stolen by pedestrians and strangers. We're never trusting humans again, apart from our owners, which they're really making a long journey back to. Point is, we have since heard that they are all back, all seven of them back with their uh their families safely at home. The kidnappers still out on the loose. So, if Disney does want to incorporate a revenge arc, I'm okay with that, but just do it. Well, anyway, that was a bit of a wild one. Moving on. Also, speaking about the UK and the Brits, well, guess what? This week, they made some pretty significant uh changes to their jail term. So significant, it's decades significant. So, as of this week, they will actually be scrapping most of their short-term jail sentences. And that's exactly what it means. The majority of criminals who would usually get up to a year in prison will now receive no more than a suspended sentence. Yeah. And the main reason for this is the UK prisons simply don't have enough space. I mean, we spoke about it extensively last year uh when they were forced to release to date around 57,000 criminals early because of this. Now, in the release of that many criminals, they did release in just one year 262 which they shouldn't have because those individuals or at least some of them were convicted of pretty serious things. Very serious things in fact. One of them sexual assault against a minor. They shouldn't be out. But they're now approaching it not just from the leaving early, but also not going in in the first place if they don't have to. The courts have been advised to stop handing out short-term jail sentences unless, of course, there's exceptional circumstances. Now, the reason they believe this is okay is based on data. You'll be happy to hear uh rehabilitation experts cited by the government, they argue that these short-term jail sentences are ineffective anyway, and they actually do very little in reducing reoffending. Um, yeah, a lot of thoughts on that, but it is what it is. They said that there are community-based alternatives which are expected to become more of a central element in sentencing in the UK going forward and they say that they could be more effective. Big question is do you agree with this move or not? It'll be very interesting to see the crime rates if they go up, they go down. Well, we'll only be able to know in a couple of years. Who will see? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. But for now, moving on. Also, cast your eyes upon these two houses because they are worth the exact same amount. How, you ask? Well, a family from Kentucky, they've just rejected $26 million for their house and a part of their land to build an AI data center. 26 million. God damn. >> If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed an Asian. 26 million doesn't mean anything. >> Now, they rejected this despite this unnamed mega corporation, which can represents a number of different AI companies. So, we don't know which AI company wants to, you know, put their little data center there. But, you know, this is at least 10 times what this house and this land is actually worth. So, they certainly won't get a deal like this anytime soon. But, guess what? They don't want a deal because this farm has been handed down from generation to generation. And it's not just the house. They say that, you know, them providing and and making food is their moral duty to to make this food for America. >> My grandfather and great-grandfather and a whole bunch of family has all lived here for years, paid taxes on it, fed a nation off of it, even raised wheat through the depression and and and kept bread lines up in the United States of America. And when the owners were asked by news outlets about the potential jobs and economic growth that this AI company is promising it will bring the area, they said this. >> I said they're a liar and the truth ain't in them is what I say. It's a scam. They call us old stupid farmers, you know, but we're not. We know whenever our food is disappearing, our lands are disappearing, and we don't have any water and poison, we know we've had it. Now, it doesn't mean that the AI data center will not be built because shock uh they've just gone to someone else and then offered them a lot of money and so that's all they'll just do that there. It's kind of like the Sora example that we gave earlier. But the AI data center will go forward. The big question is what do you think? Do you think that this family is a bunch of American heroes that need to be celebrated or they should have just got the bag and retired? Let me know your thoughts. But for now, moving on. Also this week, um I don't know how to put it to you guys. The news is getting weird. That that's probably the best way to start this. A quadruple ampute has just been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing someone. Dayton Weber is a 27year-old who has had both of his arms and legs amputated when he was just 10 months old after contracting severe bacterial infections. But here's the thing. Despite his disability, he did not let that hold him back in life. In fact, he's done a lot and he made it quite a big name for himself. He made history to become the first quadruple amputee to compete in a professional televised cornhole league. He was once described by ESPN as a promising wrestler and football player. And you know, all of the things that he's done, he served as an inspiration for people with disabilities similar to his. But guess what? All of that inspiration, it might be over because we don't want to. You'll see. Yesterday, the Charles County Sheriff's Office released a detailed statement about his arrest on suspicion for murder. Brace yourself. It's pretty wild. So, Dayton was reportedly with a group of friends in his car when he got into this heated argument, and he allegedly shot and killed the front passenger seat individual, who was also a 27-year-old male. Dayton was also the driver according to his friends in the back seat which are now eyewitnesses and they were claiming that after Dayton put them through this traumatic experience. He tried to get them to help him remove the body. Of course, they refused. They left the car and the scene and then Dton Dayton was later arrested. The victim's body was found in someone's yard. He now faces charges of first and seconddegree murder. And I don't think they literally meant you can do anything you set your mind to. That that's just more of a motivational phrase. Moving on. And lastly, I'm sure you've heard about it or seen it by now, but we got Jack Reacher in real life. Allan, he really is. He's not playing a character. Bo is the character. Now, initially when everyone was hearing this story, it just looked like from, you know, the video alone that we had, it looks like Alan Richson was just beating the crap out of his neighbor and it was like this is assault. But since then, TMZ, which they they half published this. I don't know if they had the information at the same time or they published it, created that story, and then published the rest of it, but both of it comes from TMZ. And so the initial one was, yeah, as you've probably seen him looking like he's beating up that guy in the blue, which you know that's real. He is he is doing that. And according to the neighbors version of events, uh he claimed that Allan was on his bike more than one occasion speeding up and down and causing a disturbance. And then he said that he he finally snapped and he flipped him off. Allan flipped Allen off and then he said, "Can you effing stop this, please?" And that's when he claimed that Allan got off his bike and then just started beating the crap out of him. Well, guess what? Allan was wearing body cam. Now, from this footage, we can see that the neighbor jumped in front of Allan, causing him to crash and obviously threaten his safety. And I mean, it could have been a lot worse. Also important to note that his kids were right behind him on bikes of their own. So, it could have threatened their safety as well. Now, Allan did push Taylor over and they exchanged a bit of words, but that seemed like it was it to start off with. Now Allan tried to leave on his bike and the neighbor kept on shouting at him over and over again and refused to move out of the way and then it caused Allan to seemingly fall off his bike once again and that's when he got up and yeah, you know the rest. Alex News Maddie said that she's got some something to add. So play this clip because people apparently what love this so much. >> No, they love the interaction and the Allen being on the series. >> So they're on Allen's side. >> Yeah. So, this is a trailer intro for him as if it's >> okay. >> In a quiet neighborhood, one man saw a motorcycle and still chose chaos. >> Look at the motorcycle. >> One terrible decision. >> What should have been an apology became a neighborhood event. >> What? What are you going to do? You've been driving around my neighborhood like a lunatic. Hit me, you piece of [ __ ] >> Gladly. >> This summer, don't be a little [ __ ] >> Okay, so point is no matter which side you're on, the most important here is what side the police is on. They told uh Entertainment Weekly after reviewing the available evidence, including video footage and two witness statements, authorities have determined there will be no criminal charges. And uh Mr. Richardson's actions were found to be in selfdefense. Alan Allen has since posted a bit of a cryptic message on his Instagram and it reads, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." Dad Castle, that's what we know you as. But I mean ultimately in serious terms, who the hell is picking the fight with literal Jack Reacher? Crazy. Now, as for my last ending notes, there will not be a Saturday video. We are working on something very, very significant. In fact, one of the most significant things to happen in 3 years, and that is dropping on Saturday. I cannot wait for you guys to finally hear about this. You know how many years I've been keeping this inside of me, this secret? Well, it's all coming out on Saturday. Unlike um well much like Jake Paul on Sora. >> Three, two, one, I'm gay. >> So make sure you put on post notifications because the video dropping on Saturday is big. I will get back to working on everything else. I love you guys. Thank you for always watching, liking, subbing. You mean the world to me and I will see you actually cue the best outro song in the world. Let's stop the yapping and let's go. Let's
