Ho! This week, the Rock's odds for becoming the next US president have surged. Lul Na's X has been arrested and hospitalized. There are rumors that Elon Musk may be returning to MAGA. Somebody in California tested positive for the plague. Kim Jong-un is calling for rapid nuclear expansion. And Donald Trump is now painting the border wall black. And it yes, it's exactly for the reason you think. All of that and so much more. God damn it. It's good to be back. And I've got so much to tell you at the end of today's video. So, let's just stop the yapping for once and let's get correcting. Okay, let's kick today off with a pretty interesting one to say the least. Could Dwayne the Rock Johnson actually become the next US president? Well, that's actually what a lot of people are talking about this week because his odds of becoming the Democrat's presidential nominee have surged on poly market uh even above Michelle Obama and Tim Waltz. Now, realistically, when you actually look at it, it's only still around 2 to 3% and Governor of California Gavin Newsome and AOC are the top two front runners, and it's much greater than 2 or 3% for them. But the crazy part is that he is up there despite never even saying officially that he is running. He has, although dropped hints. In 2022, a poll came out that says 46% of Americans would support his presidential run. He then revealed after that poll number, they all were like, "Holy shit." And so a bunch of political parties approached him to see if he would run for US president in 2024. They wanted to get on the winning side. In 2016, he told GQ, "I can't deny the thought of being a governor or president is alluring." So you know that he kind of wants it. And then a year later, he told Variety that the 2024 presidential campaign was quote a realistic consideration. So why didn't he? Well, apparently it was because of his kids that he didn't run. you know, he didn't want them to be drugged into the world of politics. That's not fair for them, especially since a few of them, I think, are very still young. However, despite this, in a podcast then with Trevor Noah, he said, "If that's ultimately what the people would want, then of course I would consider it." And hypothetically, if he did run, as of right now, the odds are that he'll be running against JD Vance, weirdly, with Donald Trump still in third place to run for a third term. So, the world's still a weird place when it comes to odds. So, I guess the question is, what do you guys think? Is The Rock exactly what the Democrats need right now, a very masculine figure, or would AOC or Gavin Newsome be a better choice? Let me know what you guys think. But moving on, also this week, Lil Naz X has been arrested and hospitalized. Now, according to TMZ, who obtained this footage, he was strolling down the middle of a major street in LA on Thursday morning while only wearing underwear and cowboy boots. Now, reportedly people in the area thought this was pretty strange, so they called the cops. And once the officers arrived, Naz charged at them and they had to subdue him and put him in handcuffs. Authorities said that this could have been a possible drug overdose, so they took him to hospital where, as of the time of recording, he remains. But I want you guys to take this story with a giant glaciersiz grain of salt because I have covered so many of these celebrity losing their mind stories. And let me tell you, >> let me tell you something. >> Nine times out of 10, it's just a publicity stunt. Because the thing is is someone getting arrested or being admitted into hospital almost forces news outlets to report on this because if serious or if true, it's definitely newsworthy. Unfortunately though, a lot of people, especially celebrities, abuse this. And Lil Naz X in particular has had a long history of very misleading, if you would, marketing. I mean, just off the top of my head, do you remember the time when he went deep into the religion side of things? He started posting a bunch on TikTok about like him turning to religion and he's going to expose the music industry, uh, that they tried to make him satanic and he was building it up to this big point. Oh, shock. One of these points was that he was in hospital and he was showing the little cross and he was like there, you know, God's going to protect me in any circumstance. And obviously this had like hundreds of millions of views and was like, you know, people were talking about it. Well, guess what? It was just to release a single where he then dressed up as Jesus, which was like, you know, he got all the people that are Christian on his sides and then he did that and then it was just the controversy was insane. Point is, I looked into it. See? Oh, just maybe he has an album coming up. And guess what? He does. He has an album on the way. And it wasn't it's not just any album. It's his second studio album since he blew up. So, a major major album on the way. So, if you are worried about him, I would say probably he's going to be fine. But moving on. Okay, next story is a bit of a throwback for all my OGs. So, first we had radioactive wasps. Remember that? Remember that story we covered? And then the next week we had radioactive rhino horns in South Africa. Hope you remember that one too. Well, guess what? This week we now have radioactive shrimp. What is happening? So, the US FDA have just instructed Walmart of all places, like the most popular supermarket in America, to recall three batches of its Great Value brand shrimp, sold across 13 states, because they detected cesium 137, which is a radioactive isotope in the shrimp. Now, it was detected on the shipping containers from an Indonesian supplier. And the absolute bizarre part about all of this is that cesium 137 is a byproduct of nuclear reaction, specifically reactor operations and weapons testing Indonesia. I'm sorry. Uh hey guys, is there something we need to know about your shrimp and what you're doing with them? Cuz I would like to know. Imagine you're just trying to cook up a bit of shrimp on the barbie and you get bit of bit of nuclear weapon in my mouth. In fact, guys, this may have just been an epiphany of the century. A few years ago, I ate shrimp myself, I believe, for one of the first times, and I broke out into the weirdest, this was in Bangkok, Thailand, by the way, into one of the weirdest allergic reactions I have ever experienced. And I didn't ever think that I was allergic to prawns or shrimp or and I've never had a problem since then. Maybe this is all starting to make sense. I ate a little bit of nuclear weapon. Alex is showing you what happened to me. I looked like Deadpool under the the suit when I ate that and I threw up. And those crazier thing is that that only lasted for like overnight and then I woke up the next morning and I was like completely fine. Maybe I got a bit of radioactive isotope. Maybe I'm going to grow a third eye in the next year. Wow. Maybe I'm not allergic. Point is, watch the shrimp that you're eating. Moving on. Okay, this next one could be one of the biggest plot twists we've ever seen. There are now rumors this week that Elon Musk could return to the MAGA movement and the Trump administration. The prodal son has returned. Now, obviously, we all know about the fallout of the generation that he had with Trump and, you know, the black eye and which I still would love to get to the bottom of, but you know, story for another day. I mean, he freaking accused Trump of being in the Epstein files, which I would argue is one of the biggest reasons that Trump is getting the freaking flak that he's getting with the Epstein files now. He said that Trump's big, beautiful bill would be destroying the country. even threatened to create his own party to rival it called the America Party. So, how the hell do you come back from that and then return? Well, after making all those claims, it's worth noting that he did say, you know, he regrets some of the things that he said. And then recently, he started to make a few like positive comments like he commented a a fire emoji and a laughing face when uh Trump was showing the Trump 2028 hats to all the European leaders. So, are you on Trump's side or you're not, Elon? We're getting real sick of this. corn casserole >> get at this point. And now to top that all off, the Wall Street Journal is ma made a report and they're claiming that they have inside knowledge that Musk is wanting to maintain ties with JD Vance and that he's even trying to backpedal on his own political plans. Who saw that one coming? Now, according to the report, Musk has told allies that he wants to focus his attention on his companies and he's reluctant to alienate powerful Republicans by starting a third party. So, it seems like what they're saying it's for his businesses. They also noted that Musk has been staying in touch with JD Vance in the past few weeks. And the report even says that Musk could use his resources to financially back JD Vance for a presidential run in 2028. Here we go again. And apparently JD Vance has actually responded to a lot of this in an interview saying that it would be a big mistake to break with, you know, Trump and and himself and that he hopes that in the time of the midterms he will come back into the fold. Bro, nothing makes sense. this whole year. So, currently it's JD Vance and Elon Musk versus The Rock for 2028. And instead of public votes, it's just going to be a wrestling match to see whoever wins becomes president. We all know that Elon Musk has his finisher move ready, the Walrus. It's already writing itself. Logan Paul will probably be The Rock's tag team partner to face the other two. Prime will be the sponsor of the elections. Woo! We got a We got a bizarre few years ahead of us. Moving the hell on. Oh, talking about a bizarre future. A Chinese tech company have announced this week that they will roll out pregnant robots in 2026. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true. But I will note, remember that glacier of salt we spoke about with the Nas X story? Well, take the leftovers and put it in this story, too. Because Kaiwa technology are designing a bot with an artificial womb that will essentially work as a surrogate mother. Now, the fetus will receive enough nutrients through a hose and it'll be carried for about 10 months in the robot in synthetic aminotic fluid and they say if they get legal approval, they have the capability for it to be introduced as soon as next year. The company says it will cost around $100,0001 which will be $13,000 which obviously versus a human surrogate is like a fraction of the price and that this is all for couples who are struggling to conceive. Now, let me just address two elephants in the room. One, the ethical implications for this are just endless. I don't believe in the next maybe even 10 years this could possibly get legal approval. And then two, there is there has been no human trials. There's no medical data to back up that this can just start running in 2026. It's full of dodgy things. So, interesting headline. Interesting for us to imagine in the future. Big grain of salt. Moving on. Also this week, and this may not be news to some of you, but it is to me, and it probably will be to a lot of you, too. Putin's poop bag when he went to Alaska, that's a real thing. And it's been going on for several years. Because I'll be honest, when I first read the headline, Putin's poop bag, I thought, oh, what is this? Like some hit piece propaganda, like, oh, funny, funny. No, it's not just Putin that has a poop bag. Several world leaders. This is almost standard. Apparently, whenever he travels and needs to use the bathroom, uh the waste goes in the poop suitcase. Baron Trump does not like that suitcase. Now, this is apparently to prevent other nations and bad or good actors, depending on which side you're on, from getting a hold of his feal matter. And they believe that if they do, that would be a grave national security threat. They say that this could provide, you know, other foreign powers with very sensitive information relating to Putin's health or even allow them to use the DNA from the uh to develop diseases that could be specifically designed from that to take him out to make it extra lethal for him as a person. And I mean, reading this, I was just like, how could you even want to live like this as a human to be that powerful where you can't even sh in a toilet? And it also made me think, what about Kimmy? Huh? He's in a bit of a tricky situation with this because he's told his, you know, country that he doesn't pee or poo. That's a real thing. Like he he apparently, you know, works so hard that it just evaporates. It just burns it all as fuel. So if he travels, which I mean he very rarely if ever does, and he's caught with one of those suitcases, he either goes to the toilet and he risks that or he has a suitcase with him. Either one, we're going to be watching Mr. No Pooper. Moving on. Also this week, in the first case of its kind, an American man will be physically castrated after he attempted to a 7-year-old girl. And apparently, this is going to be the first in the US under a new Louisiana law. And I'm not going to lie to you. If you read even any of the comments, people are just putting W's in the chat for this. I'm just going to tell you straight up. Now, Louisiana is the first and only state to allow surgical castration. And for that to be used as a punishment for certain sex crimes, and now it's actually going to be carried out for the first time. And this is the man making history, 37-year-old Thomas Allen McCarthy. And this guy is a piece of what would go inside Putin's poop bag. He is being classified as a tier three offender and is considered one of the state's worst child predators. I'm not even going to go into what he has done on this channel because it's just not even appropriate at this point. Um, but just know it is the worst imaginable things. Now, he has agreed to be both physically and chemically castrated as part of a plea deal, which will be in return for a shorter prison sentence, but reportedly he's still going to be in prison for 40 plus years. It's also worth noting that he's not actually going to be castrated now. It says no later than one week prior to the offender's release from the institution, which will be in 40 years time. And at that point, he's going to be close to 80 years old. So, some would argue that now would be a better time, but you know, moving on. Also, this week, someone in California tested positive for a bit of the plague. Just a slight bit of the plague. You know, the one that killed 200 million people in Europe. the one that wiped out 60% of the continent's population. You know, the the black death, that one plague. Now, this person contracted the disease after being bitten by an infected flea while camping near Lake Tahoe. And thankfully, according to reports, they are recovering at home, and they are not being treated by one of these [ __ ] mad men. Sorry for swearing. Beep. Craziest part though and I had no idea about this is that apparently this is just one of several cases of the plague in bro actually think about it for a second imagine you know when people come down with a cold and you're like oh I can't come into work today I've got a you know man flu imagine you tell your work oh I can't come into work I've got the plague but the fact is that this is a real thing several cases in the US have the plague that is in I would actually like to catch the plague just to tell people I have the plague and it be 100% serious. That is wild. In fact, a man in Arizona recently died because of the plague not that long ago. Elorado County's acting director of public health said plague is naturally present in many parts of California, including higher elevation areas of Elorado County. So, while yes, the plague does still technically exist, it's very rare, but also antibiotics is the main thing that we have now that has been a complete game changer. So, I don't believe that this is even possible for it to become like it was back then where it just wipes us all out. We got antibiotics now. So, I guess to all of you in the US watching this, watch out in case you get a bit of the plague. Just a a light take a bit of vitamin C. You're back at it. Moving on. Okay. Talking about the Black Death, probably an appropriate new name for the Mexico America border wall. Yeah. And that's because the US have started to paint that wall black. And you know why? Well, I think you can guess. It's essentially to make it hotter. You know, that area is burning hot, especially during the summer. So, if anyone wants to get through, touch it, climb over it, sing your skin. Bro, I would love to know. It's such a like a high ranking thing like who comes up with the ideas when you're just sitting around, you're like, you know what we should do? We should make we should just paint it black just as an extra deterrent. Sorry, I I actually spoke too soon because Homeland Security Secretary General Christine Gnome said that it was Trump's idea and specifically at the request of the president. So Trump had the idea. Quote, "He understands that in the hot temperatures down here when something is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will make it harder for people to climb. Oh, and also a side note, the black will also prevent it from rusting. Oh, and let's not forget that they're also expanding this wall with about 46 billion allocated for the project. According to Homeland Security, about half a mile of this wall is going up each day uh along this what will end up being a nearly 2,000mi border. Wild. But moving on. Oh, and moving on to our seasonal whippings that keep this channel moving on. Three sacrificial lambs. Thank you very much for your sacrifice and service. Well, let's do a nice little low one today, shall we? Let's get right down and dirty with the with the peasants on the lowest level. Peasant whippings today, actually. Not only did they sacrifice physically their pain, but also their ego. Look how low they are. You losers. Subscribe to the channel for those jokers. Now for our biggest story of the day. I've been waiting to show you guys this letter. It's an official letter from the government of Also this week. Frank Caprio, the aka the nicest judge in the world, aka the men competing for the nicest human in the world, has died, passed away at the age of 88. Now, his life needs no explanation or introduction or context. And as Alex rolls the clips of this tribute, since we will be copyrighted, I shall take the karaoke effects for you. Roll the clips, Alex. In the arms of the angel, fly away from here from this dark, cold. >> Okay, that's probably good enough. Point is, RIP a true legend. Next, also nowhere is safe anymore. A crazy video went viral this week of two food vloggers, Patrick Blackwood and Nina Unrated. That can't be her surname. A crazy video went viral this week of two food vloggers, uh, Patrick Blackwood and Nina Unrated, who were filming at a restaurant, just eating, when a freaking car slammed into the side of the restaurant. What are the freaking chances? I mean, I'm not going to lie, the fact that they're safe is is the main point, but this is now probably going to be their most viral clip of eternity. Boom. >> Now they are both okay. Luckily, minor injuries. Bonina said, "This experience showed me who truly matters. Life is too short for grudges or anger. Let go. Forgive. Live in the now and cherish those around you. This could have been our last meal." Factorials. As for the person who actually smashed into it, they say that the driver told deputies that she thought she had the pe vehic vehicle vehicle in park, but upon releasing her foot off the brake, it shot forward. And you have video footage of next. Not a week goes by without some North Korea news. And now Kim Jong-un is calling for the rapid nuclear expansion. How much more can you expand by, Kimmy? Come on. You you got a lot already. You only need one to do serious damage. and he's asking for this rapid expansion in response to the joint US Korea military exercises which he says is a sign of hostile intent. The US and South Korea say that they've been doing this for years and that these are not these are just defensive drills and precautionary. He doesn't believe a word they're saying. Oh, but not only that because we also got a crazy report this week that North Korea have a secret undeclared missile base near the Chinese border which quote may pose a threat to East Asia and the US. The report also indicates that the base has six to nine nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missiles. And the study also claims there are at least 15 to 20 more bases like this that they haven't declared. Soon that the whole country is just going to be one giant missile just next. Oh, and also an update on a story that we covered not that was quite a while ago, but it was also interesting. We needed an update and I provide updates. I say at the end of everything I'll keep you guys updated, but guess what I am now? The son of Norway's crown prince has been indicted on 32 counts and those include four counts of rape, domestic violence, making threats, and also traffic violations. Well, we're charging and just chucking the traffic violations in there, too. Now, the rape charges involve allegations that Hy assaulted four women between 2018 and 2024, which include reportedly uh these things occurring while the victims were asleep. He's also accused of filming these assaults without consent. Now that could see if charged and found guilty at all 28 years behind bars. That's significant. Now the trial is expected to begin in January. He is denied all charges of violence, but I'll keep you guys updated and that's my promise to you. Oh, and also not far away over in Sweden this week. They wanted to relocate a 13year-old church. So they didn't take it down, disassemble it. They moved the entire thing. And boy does it look strange. Now, they got this massive thing on essentially what would act as a a trolley with 224 wheels, and it has to hold the the church, which is 672 tons. Wild. Now, the reason they had to move it is because the ground was potentially unstable. They because they've been mining in this area for iron ore for like more than a century. So, they decided, I we better move it to be safe. That took 2 days to go 5 km, which is actually, you know, pretty impressive. It's very slow. But they also had to remove lamp posts and traffic lights along the road to to make way for a massive church. Now it has arrived without being damaged. So double pretty pretty impressive. And then for our final news story, it's a life update, guys. So the reason I had to miss Wednesday's video is I just got back from 3 days of a of of re-evaluating life. So I I booked a hotel. I put my phone on DND. isolated myself from all breaking news that could have bombarded my thoughts and I just hardcore brainstormed and thought for for 3 days straight, what's next? You know, seriously, what is next? Where the hell do I want to take the News Daddy Empire? I mean, because I don't really speak about it on the channel or publicly at all, but behind the scenes, there's a lot of different directions that I'm being pulled, a lot of different shiny opportunities, which I'm very thankful for coming to me. But these are such amazing opportunities that they're not just side hustles. These are these are careerchanging, life-changing directions and opportunities. So, you don't make those choices off of a whim, you know, and I really needed just like a few days because every single day I'm I'm so zoomed into the news. What am I going to talk about today that I don't have a second to think about, okay, where are we going? And I can't explain to you how weird it was just to think for 3 days straight. I felt like a freaking monk on a mountain. But I am happy to report that it was very successful. I have come back with clarity and focus and I now know exactly what I need to do. I hope you can only make bets at this point that this is the right decision. But I've made a decision and ironically the whole plan was to go out there and discuss like what is the next big thing. And ultimately the decision I made was putting that next big thing on pause. Yeah. I'm not [ __ ] leaving. I'm not [ __ ] leaving. There is just still so much I want to do. So much we we have left to to journey through together on Tik Tok and YouTube, especially YouTube. And so I'm going to say I'm not ready to move on with the next shiny object and career point in my life. So you're stuck with me. In fact, I'm doubling down. YouTube and Tik Tok will remain my number one priority. I've got so many exciting new ideas, things to do, different styles to test out on the channel, so I'm happy. So, with all that being said, I'm here to stay. And uh three YouTube videos a week, that's what it's going to be like. And also some really exciting new styles of video, new new community hub. I've come I'll tell you all about this soon. So, with all that being said, I just want to say thank you guys. Thank you for always watching, liking, subscribing, because without this, I would have probably chosen to get distracted by new shiny objects, but you have just you kept me in it and I and I'm loving it and I'm loving it. So, I'll see you guys on Monday. Have a fantastic weekend and I I don't know. I don't know. [Music]
