Speaker 1: Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of The
Speaker 1: Cajun Night Live. I am the Cajun Night your host,
Speaker 1: Jacob Mook and as of time of recording, as opposed
Speaker 1: to win, this episode will be released. I want to
Speaker 1: wish all of the listeners to The Cajun Night Live
Speaker 1: a very happy and heartfelt Thanksgiving. I hope everybody is
Speaker 1: taking this opportunity to spend some time with family, just
Speaker 1: stuffing your entire face with all of the delicious foods
Speaker 1: that are available to you. Myself, I just got back
Speaker 1: from my parents' house where we do a kuchon delay.
Speaker 1: For anybody who does not know, this is a Cajun
Speaker 1: pig roast that we do every year. We basically take
Speaker 1: a one hundred pound hog. It's farm. We have done
Speaker 1: boarhogs before, but they're not as tasty as far as
Speaker 1: the fat content goes. But anyway, take off the head,
Speaker 1: get out the innards, scrape the hair off, cut the
Speaker 1: legs off. We butterfly this thing open and we cook
Speaker 1: it over a fire all night long and it will
Speaker 1: be eaten tomorrow morning. And of course we had a
Speaker 1: good gumbo going on. We don't do the seafood gumbo.
Speaker 1: We do the chicken and sausage, and some turkey meat
Speaker 1: was thone in there too. It was delicious. But before
Speaker 1: we started shooting, as we do on The Cajun Night Live,
Speaker 1: we had a little conversation beforehand, and for anybody who
Speaker 1: would like to join in that conversation that's off air,
Speaker 1: that would like to just be there in that moment,
Speaker 1: I want to invite you to go to the link
Speaker 1: in the description below to patreon dot com slash Cajun
Speaker 1: Night and join us every Wednesday night for these conversations.
Speaker 1: But with that being said, we got onto the conversation
Speaker 1: about food and just going back and forth on some questions.
Speaker 1: Are our resident Jewish correspondence in the house this night,
Speaker 1: as he is almost every single night, and we were
Speaker 1: talking about certain things that don't fly in the kosher way,
Speaker 1: and that just kind of started a whole conversation that
Speaker 1: I felt would be way better suited on record. So
Speaker 1: it started off with me asking about, you know, worms
Speaker 1: and bugs and things, because you know, there's Mexican candies
Speaker 1: and there's people that use bugs in there as their
Speaker 1: protein source for things, and of course, outside of the
Speaker 1: realm of a survival situation. Then we got in a
Speaker 1: conversation of locus and things. Then we started talking about
Speaker 1: cobra whiskey. Then we started talking about sushi and that
Speaker 1: was all good. So and now we're just in the
Speaker 1: mix of this conversation. We will be getting to the news.
Speaker 1: But while we're on this one now, and as everybody
Speaker 1: is doing Thanksgiving and eating all these meals, there's so
Speaker 1: many things that we need to discuss at this time.
Speaker 1: And Sam is chomping at the bit to ask Royce
Speaker 1: a question. Sam by all means brother, please ask away.
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's a two part and I mean this
Speaker 2: with all of the respect. Okay, you say that there
Speaker 2: was loadus just.
Speaker 1: See Ricky Bobby now with all respect, I mean, with
Speaker 1: all due respect.
Speaker 3: I love you boys.
Speaker 4: But like you said that there was a load of say,
Speaker 4: y'all could eat, So does that mean that, knowing the
Speaker 4: plagues when God said all the loadus to fuck up
Speaker 4: the Egyptians, y'all are having an art you can eat buffet.
Speaker 3: And on the second part you said that you can't.
Speaker 2: Eat crabs and everything because the bottom feed is But
Speaker 2: your people seem to do a lot of lawyerish type things.
Speaker 5: And so on. So that was so the first part
Speaker 5: is that's not even any kind of lawyer ship Like
Speaker 5: in this horror itself it says here are the various
Speaker 5: things you can eat.
Speaker 6: Now in itself it.
Speaker 5: Talks about categories. So when it comes to a land animal,
Speaker 5: they need to have a fully parted hook and show
Speaker 5: it's cut randomly. With that seeting said a giraffe is kosher,
Speaker 5: we can Actually.
Speaker 1: I would love to try a good diraft steak. I've
Speaker 1: been told they're great.
Speaker 5: I'm sure that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1: But also we're talking about.
Speaker 3: It's a leopard horse with I would love horse.
Speaker 1: They're fantastic, They're like one of my favorite animals. No, no,
Speaker 1: I would horse. But you have to take down the
Speaker 1: older ones because they will cull the herd and kill
Speaker 1: the young bucks before they're a breeding age, and that's
Speaker 1: not good for the giraffe population on Earth. That's why
Speaker 1: you have guided hunts to take out some of these
Speaker 1: older g rafts. And honestly, I would love to try
Speaker 1: g raft steak. Also hippo steak. They're basically a water
Speaker 1: cow and I've been I've seen their meat for sale.
Speaker 1: Australians get down with this. I want to try it.
Speaker 1: That was delicious.
Speaker 2: Hippos are actually closer related to they're actually the equivalent
Speaker 2: of a land whale.
Speaker 3: They are not a wait.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, is hippo kosher?
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't choose good, it doesn't shoot go ahead,
Speaker 5: But the.
Speaker 2: So a Jew's coacher for whales because whale did did
Speaker 2: swallow Jonathan?
Speaker 1: But spin them out? But spin them out? Although good question,
Speaker 1: whales and people got down with eating whale meat and
Speaker 1: whale blubber for oil and stuff. And I understand you
Speaker 1: need to save the whales, but like that's not kosher either.
Speaker 5: So the reason why a whale is in kasher because
Speaker 5: it does not meet the biblical requirement of a fish.
Speaker 5: In order for it to be a fish, it needs
Speaker 5: to have fins and scales. Oh, this is why either
Speaker 5: correct correct or shark for that matter, because they have
Speaker 5: they have a similar kind of skin, which is kind
Speaker 5: of cool.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, though, I just recently
Speaker 1: got introduced to a different type of fish that I
Speaker 1: think is my new favorite type of eating fish, even
Speaker 1: over a catfish. Uh. It's called a scale. In Louisiana,
Speaker 1: where y'all are from, you might call it a white perch.
Speaker 1: It is so good. But yeah, socle is Cajun for
Speaker 1: a like milk bag, and whenever you clean it, it
Speaker 1: kind of has like a white bag look about it.
Speaker 1: The meat is so thick and so flaky and so good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I actually prefer that meat over
Speaker 1: catfish meat, to be honest with you, So I feel
Speaker 1: you on this. But yeah, So anything that you have
Speaker 1: to skin that comes from the ocean or the water,
Speaker 1: I should say, is non kosher. So wait, cafilter fish
Speaker 1: that's that's allowed, isn't it in the Wait?
Speaker 5: Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait, I'm genuinely.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait.
Speaker 5: So so all right, I'm gonna here's a fun thing.
Speaker 5: Now you're gonna understand why I laugh. One fish, two fish,
Speaker 5: three fish.
Speaker 1: Fish.
Speaker 5: It's like a crab cake, but it's multiple so geffelda
Speaker 5: fish is what multiple kinds of fish that's blended up
Speaker 5: together and turn into a patty?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 5: Yes, No, you're just the reason I'm laughing because it's
Speaker 5: not an actual like one fish.
Speaker 6: It's like a fish cake.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking cuttlefish, the one that's got the tentacles and
Speaker 1: it can kill you and all that. I'm getting those.
Speaker 2: What there's a band in I calling in the Nickelodeon
Speaker 2: universe called cuttlefish.
Speaker 1: Of course there is. Why why would you have that
Speaker 1: knowledge readily available? Sam? What the fuck?
Speaker 2: Because I grew up in the only two thousands I
Speaker 2: watched the fucking Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.
Speaker 1: Fair fair, No, no, no, okay, I'm getting confused. A cafilter
Speaker 1: fish is a blending of a couple of different times.
Speaker 1: A cuddlefish is not the same thing. My apologies, my apologies.
Speaker 5: No, No, it's just funny because like that just the
Speaker 5: way you ask that question.
Speaker 1: It's like, so there was a movie, It's like what
Speaker 1: is the and and that's again because it sounds like
Speaker 1: a fish. But no, it's like literally just a fish cake.
Speaker 7: Well, normally you make it in a log and then
Speaker 7: you boil the log and then chop it up and
Speaker 7: then you have it with carrots and horse radish with beets.
Speaker 1: So it's you'll turn it into a roast. You turn
Speaker 1: fish into a roast.
Speaker 5: I guess, so wow, I mean it doesn't really taste
Speaker 5: like a roast, Like it's it's a very it's a
Speaker 5: very interesting taste. And texture, like there are people that
Speaker 5: just don't like it just because they're just not used
Speaker 5: to it.
Speaker 1: Are deer kosher because they don't eat cut?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, so de deer, antelope, moose, those wild animals
Speaker 5: they choose their cut and they have a fully parted hoof.
Speaker 1: Are squirrels and rabbits kosher? Negative?
Speaker 5: Ghost rider And actually it actually says specifically in the
Speaker 5: Torah about hairs. But yeah, because they don't have a
Speaker 5: fully parted hope they show it's cut.
Speaker 2: Because so no.
Speaker 5: So pretty much most things when it comes to the land,
Speaker 5: animals and fish have have different categories when except when
Speaker 5: it comes to birds. That's when it's basically says no osprey, eagles, vultures, that's.
Speaker 1: Are emu's kosher.
Speaker 5: I've been told no, they're not because so they're not because.
Speaker 6: Probably because they're predators. But I think this also goes
Speaker 6: back to the tradition.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think the Jews.
Speaker 1: Have ever had a tradition predators. Them an ostriches, they
Speaker 1: eat mostly grain and ship.
Speaker 5: They're formed, So I don't know then, Okay, but I don't,
Speaker 5: so at the very least, they we don't have a
Speaker 5: tradition for it. So since there's no tradition, then then no, no,
Speaker 5: which would really be imagined. I would love to have
Speaker 5: one of those eggs.
Speaker 1: How much.
Speaker 3: Is growing up?
Speaker 1: I would prefer an ostrich. But then I looked into
Speaker 1: it because I want to start my own farm here soon,
Speaker 1: and there was like certain tax exemptions and things you
Speaker 1: could have to have your land listed as an emu
Speaker 1: farm and ship and as far as best bang for
Speaker 1: buck for amount of feed you get for amount of
Speaker 1: meat you get. EMUs are fucking dope. That being said,
Speaker 1: they can also be a pain in the ass if
Speaker 1: you're not used to dealing with them. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm good. Cows are solid, cows are so good,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Anyway, what what about platypuses? Because I want to I want.
Speaker 1: To sell no one. No one eats that. I don't
Speaker 1: even think the Aussies eat that.
Speaker 2: I'm I mean, it has a dusk bill on a
Speaker 2: beaver tail. It has to taste like one of the others, but.
Speaker 1: It also lays eggs and it's sweats milk. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just would put that into the realm of Probably not
Speaker 1: just because there's no fucking Jewish tradition for eating a platypus,
Speaker 1: which is one spott on earth.
Speaker 2: I have a question for you that voice. So I
Speaker 2: know you can't eat any shellfish or any sushi.
Speaker 3: So does that mean that all's good?
Speaker 5: He said, sushi is Goodshi can be kosher?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So can you eat like traditional Asian foods?
Speaker 2: Like? Uh, if you go to like China, all, can
Speaker 2: you eat their food or does it have to be special?
Speaker 5: So anything that needs to be cooked needs to be
Speaker 5: supervised by a Jew who understands the rules and regulations
Speaker 5: when it comes to kostros. So you have somebody called
Speaker 5: a mash gillach which basically needs like a supervisor, and
Speaker 5: like they will be there even and you don't.
Speaker 6: Ne they have to have a Jewish chef.
Speaker 5: Like all they have to do is turn on the
Speaker 5: oven or the stove whatever and then kind of and
Speaker 5: then supervise just to make sure that nothing is untoured.
Speaker 5: But like, so, for example, I couldn't go to anybody's
Speaker 5: house and be like, hey, hey, hey, Roys, come over
Speaker 5: to my house. Even if they were to buy a
Speaker 5: kosher steak from a place, as soon as they put
Speaker 5: it on their grill without me on supervising it or
Speaker 5: without the supervising it, it's automatically at.
Speaker 1: Kozer Man, I gotta say being in the Air Force
Speaker 1: mus have been weird for you and you left the States.
Speaker 1: In the States, I mean, air Force pretty much has
Speaker 1: fine dining anywhere they go, so that was probably no
Speaker 1: problem for you.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 5: I was also cheap way, so when I went whenever
Speaker 5: I went on TDY, I like took out like I
Speaker 5: don't know, maybe a hundred bucks whatever, and I bought
Speaker 5: peanut butter and jelly and bread, so like I didn't
Speaker 5: even really have to worry about it. So I made
Speaker 5: sure that I had food on the airplane. That sucks,
Speaker 5: so I did. I mean I enjoyed drinking that was fun,
Speaker 5: uncrustables or kosher.
Speaker 1: Kocher noon.
Speaker 2: I thought that what you can get drunk, right, you
Speaker 2: can drink, But I thought that's not.
Speaker 5: You can you can get drunk. And we actually have
Speaker 5: a holiday in which we specifically get very ship faced.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, play Creed or Nickelback or anything next.
Speaker 1: Why No, First of all, Creed is a Christian band.
Speaker 1: I don't think they would get down with that. Uh yeah, Creed,
Speaker 1: I didn't really, They're they're no if you actually look
Speaker 1: at their lyrics. They are pretty much every song is
Speaker 1: their version of a rock praise and worship song. But
Speaker 1: I mean it's worse than the same God so like
Speaker 1: cool take that which one. I doubt that they'll be
Speaker 1: listening to Nickelback because they are the Internet's on a mission,
Speaker 1: the worst band ever next to I c P. That's
Speaker 1: not Jacob's worth. They're a band for like college guys.
Speaker 1: They are trying to bang underage girls. That's what Nickelbacks for.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not what they started out as. Their
Speaker 1: first album or two was pretty okay. They got way
Speaker 1: way downhill quick, but again opinion, that's the Internet can
Speaker 1: get drunk.
Speaker 3: H there we have it. When I get drunk, I
Speaker 3: like to clean my I like to clean my leiffles.
Speaker 1: Do you like that? That's not a good thing to
Speaker 1: admit out loud, Samuel, that's that's not a good thing
Speaker 1: that you want to tell people when I'll get aren't
Speaker 1: gonna have to claim a raffles? Or or you like
Speaker 1: to sit on the couch and watch the Rick and
Speaker 1: Morty is what you meant to say? Rifles euphemism those
Speaker 1: long strokes, But no, did you like polish your hammer?
Speaker 3: And nails.
Speaker 1: Liked the masculine hammer and nails that he just has
Speaker 1: on standby for such occasions. This fine.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I am I I am ready for
Speaker 5: him to come back and we will will do with
Speaker 5: it as it comes.
Speaker 3: Hey, so do you think Jesus would have an A
Speaker 3: or an a K platform? Personally? I think he would
Speaker 3: have a person experience with a nail gun.
Speaker 5: First of all, Jesus would have a zy so because
Speaker 5: you wait, no, but no. But so there's a series
Speaker 5: of books it's amazing called Democratic and and like there's
Speaker 5: one of the character.
Speaker 8: Is and basically ha name was Uzi Jesus And it's
Speaker 8: like you might so imagine like the whole Buddy Christ
Speaker 8: thing from what was that movie fuck Uh.
Speaker 5: With Mad Damon and Dogma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, something like that. But like, yeah, so Uzi Jesus.
Speaker 5: So he would have an uzzi, probably two of them.
Speaker 3: Which is funny because the Uzi is an Israeli made.
Speaker 1: Right, That's why I thought.
Speaker 3: And is it the guy that created it? Wasn't his
Speaker 3: name like very s image to the commedy that created
Speaker 3: the a K?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about to do with the Uzi?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did he change his name? And everything.
Speaker 1: I want to say, it was like covecal cough or something.
Speaker 1: Instead of collection of cough, it was something. It was
Speaker 1: something crazy like that. Yeah, but there's no relation between
Speaker 1: the designer and creator of the Uzi submachine gun to the.
Speaker 2: On the the stun of the creator of the Koshnikov,
Speaker 2: the AK. He actually created the Bison or the the
Speaker 2: the I don't know what it's actually called. I think
Speaker 2: attached to the bison, but it has the magazine is
Speaker 2: a slender and it does it has a spiraling magazine.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know they're going, you're talking about now.
Speaker 1: It looks cool, but it also looks like it's a
Speaker 1: bitch and a half to load. I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you. Personally, I prefer AK platforms over AR. I
Speaker 1: like the versatility of the AR. I like how you're
Speaker 1: able to throw on a bunch of attachments and make
Speaker 1: it pimped out. Much love and respect there. Personally, I
Speaker 1: prefer long stroke, piston driven fully automatics rather than the
Speaker 1: short stroke that the AR is that gets jammed up
Speaker 1: when you look at it. Funny, if you can find
Speaker 1: me a piston driven AR, then like, I'm all here
Speaker 1: for it. I'm here for the noise. But honestly, my
Speaker 1: dream gun as of this moment would either be a
Speaker 1: SCAR platform which is a piston driven same as the AK,
Speaker 1: or one of those AK one O three. So they've
Speaker 1: come out with it's a dual piston AK. It's basically
Speaker 1: a fully recoil is fully automatic AK and it's gorgeous.
Speaker 5: But anyway, by the way, so speaking of Jesus, I
Speaker 5: left the meme for you, Jacob, Oh, you left me
Speaker 5: I meme.
Speaker 1: Royce always comes with the fire memes. Let's see Rules
Speaker 1: to Learning English number one. There they're our no rules.
Speaker 1: The spelling on that is great, and the person underneath
Speaker 1: it says, this makes me feel so uncomfortable. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: I remember in French class when we were you know,
Speaker 1: we were trying to explain to the teacher why like
Speaker 1: she kept pronouncing the ellen salmon, which is it's it's irking,
Speaker 1: it's irking, right, and then she would pronounce sword with
Speaker 1: the W or half what she's talking about? All right
Speaker 1: on half of your test? Do it this and holf
Speaker 1: do they like? Stop it? The L is silent. You're French,
Speaker 1: you don't pronounce the first letter of every single word.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me you don't understand silent letters. And she
Speaker 1: was like no, not half no. But then she wrote
Speaker 1: on the board and pretty much shut us all down
Speaker 1: with the word tough, the word dough, and the word
Speaker 1: through and said, explain that shit to me before y'all
Speaker 1: come at me. And we're just like, God, damn it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So words are just words. They suck anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: without further ado, everybody, we do need to get to
Speaker 1: the current events of the day and age that we
Speaker 1: were living in. We've talked a good bit about the
Speaker 1: ask a Jew a question round which I honestly do enjoy.
Speaker 1: Gonna just be forth right with it, but all right,
Speaker 1: let's jump straight into it here. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many of you have been keeping up with what has
Speaker 1: gone on this week, but Trump made a statement about nurses,
Speaker 1: and depending on where you heard this from, you may
Speaker 1: have heard a couple of different versions. One said that
Speaker 1: Trump says that nurses are no longer a profession, which
Speaker 1: is a really asinine thing to say, and a lot
Speaker 1: of talking heads on the left side of the aisle
Speaker 1: ran with that it was the official narrative without actually
Speaker 1: asking what really was said. Or for what purpose More
Speaker 1: investigation would show you that he is now saying that
Speaker 1: a nursing degree is no longer considered a professional occupation
Speaker 1: degree as far as a course of study goes, which
Speaker 1: leads to a whole litany of questions on the things
Speaker 1: and the stuff. So, you know what, let's dive straight
Speaker 1: into it. Here. It says, is Trump bad for nurses?
Speaker 1: In their third walkout? New Orleans nurses face a draw
Speaker 1: out or drawn out contract fight. Observers say the president's
Speaker 1: policies aren't helping. I honestly don't know what nurses walking
Speaker 1: out of the hospital in New Orleans has to do
Speaker 1: with Trump talking about nursing students around the country. But
Speaker 1: you know what, I guess this article will just let
Speaker 1: us know. Here, let's get in. It says, with Kendrick
Speaker 1: Lamar's not Like Us as a soundtrack, nurses at New
Speaker 1: Orleans University Medical Center all there it is walked off
Speaker 1: the job for the third time, picketing along the city's
Speaker 1: Canal Street through roof Fair earlier this month. Yeah, Canal
Speaker 1: Street's kind of the main spinal column to the French
Speaker 1: quarter of New Orleans. Screen Buy who doesn't know? We
Speaker 1: will pick it, shout, bargain petition, and strike again and
Speaker 1: again and again until the nurses win their first contract.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the bargaining is gonna do on that,
Speaker 1: but all right, dope, weird flex but okay. Terry Mugiliaise,
Speaker 1: an orthopedic trauma clinical nurse, told a wrapped crowd on
Speaker 1: May first, it's very strange. The crowd compromised about one
Speaker 1: hundred nurses and their supporters, with many of the nurses
Speaker 1: wearing scrubs or red shirts with white lettering reading we
Speaker 1: will strike for our patients. Yeah, because that's what we
Speaker 1: need you to do. Nurses. We need you to leave
Speaker 1: the hospital for the good of your patients, because you
Speaker 1: can give them better care on the street with signs
Speaker 1: rather than at the bedside. That's really good logic. Modulais
Speaker 1: and roughly six hundred University Medical Center nurses voted to
Speaker 1: unionize with National Nurses United in December twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: They are in their sixteenth month of union representation, but
Speaker 1: say their employer is stalling on a contract that would
Speaker 1: actually improve their jobs. Observers say nurses may be waiting
Speaker 1: even longer. On average, healthcare unions go around seventeen months
Speaker 1: before obtaining first contracts. Today, the nurses not only have
Speaker 1: to overcome their employer's resistance, but the downstream effects of
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's policy changes too. In November, University Medical
Speaker 1: Center Management Corporation filed a complaint with the National Labor
Speaker 1: Relations Board blaming the union for delays in negotiations. Workers
Speaker 1: say it is UMC that is delaying, and LCMC, the
Speaker 1: parent corporation for UMC and one of only two hospital
Speaker 1: administrators in the city, declined Capital and Main's request for comment.
Speaker 1: So anyway, let's getting more into the conversation with the
Speaker 1: nurses and their strike. However, the Trump administration has thrown
Speaker 1: the National Labor Retal Relations Board in turmoil. One week
Speaker 1: after his inauguration, Trump fired the Joe Biden appointed NLRB chair,
Speaker 1: Gwynn will Cox, leaving the five member board with just
Speaker 1: two members. The agency cannot issue decisions without a quorum
Speaker 1: of three members, giving reluctance employers even less incentive to
Speaker 1: bargain in good faith, knowing cases brought against them can
Speaker 1: be prolonged. While will Cox has sued for the reinstatement
Speaker 1: in the case has bounced between judges and is still
Speaker 1: in litigation. So anyway, long story short, we're kind of
Speaker 1: jumping off as far as this goes because I saw
Speaker 1: the New Orleans thing and I thought that'd be a
Speaker 1: way better way to go about it. But Trump basically
Speaker 1: said that nursing is no longer a professional education degree.
Speaker 1: And he was doing this because there is a cap
Speaker 1: on the amount of student loan that you're able to
Speaker 1: take for certain let's just call it types, and I'm
Speaker 1: using that term very loosely here. There a certain type
Speaker 1: of degree that you're trying to attain. There's a monetary
Speaker 1: cat that you're allowed to get as far as that's concerned,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these nursing students, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: don't graduate and they're left with racked up student debt
Speaker 1: that's going to affect them for the rest of their life,
Speaker 1: with not even the piece of paper at the end
Speaker 1: of the tunnel to show for it. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that I agree with Trump on this one. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I disagree with Trump on this one. But
Speaker 1: the world basically with the media anyway, if Trump does something,
Speaker 1: it's either obviously from Satan himself or obviously he's trying
Speaker 1: to save America. I honestly don't know which one is
Speaker 1: more accurate when it comes to this particular situation, but
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. We're going to
Speaker 1: go over to this news clip here, and as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, just give me a thumbs up if
Speaker 1: you can hear this one, just so I know if
Speaker 1: I need to redo something here. This is from ten
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay pushback over nursing not listed as a professional
Speaker 1: degree in proposed student loan rules. Let's learn about this
Speaker 1: one together.
Speaker 9: Then we'll discuss pushback from nurses in Florida nationwide against
Speaker 9: the Department of Education a proposal in the One Big
Speaker 9: Beautiful Bill may put loan cabs for graduate students in
Speaker 9: a nursing program. Tonight, ten Tampa Bay News reporter Miguel
Speaker 9: Octavio explains why some nursing associations are now disappointed.
Speaker 10: Sandy Salko has been a nurse for more than fifty years.
Speaker 11: I'm saddened. Number one, number two, I am a pall.
Speaker 10: She says, federal guidelines that don't include nursing as a
Speaker 10: professional degree feel like a step backward for the field.
Speaker 11: I didn't go into nursing because I was going to
Speaker 11: be rich, but I certainly went in because I held
Speaker 11: at very high esteem and very high regard care of
Speaker 11: patients and their families.
Speaker 10: Under the proposed rules, graduate students in a professional degree
Speaker 10: program could borrow up to fifty thousand dollars per year,
Speaker 10: but for students pursuing a non professional degree that would
Speaker 10: be capped the twenty thousand, five hundred dollars a year.
Speaker 11: I don't understand it. I don't think i'll ever understand it,
Speaker 11: and I hope that they reverse their thoughts.
Speaker 10: Opponents say that could make nursing harder to afford, an
Speaker 10: effect already strapped staffing. The Department of Education says nursing
Speaker 10: has never been listed as a professional degree, though students
Speaker 10: can still borrow up to one hundred thousand dollars total tonight,
Speaker 10: though nursing associations are petitioning the government reverse course.
Speaker 11: Nurses don't give up the faith.
Speaker 10: Saliko has this to say for nurses feeling discouraged, those.
Speaker 11: Of us that are already nurses for many years will
Speaker 11: be behind you and we will fight the fight.
Speaker 10: In Saint Pete Miguel Favio ten Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: News Okay, so just so we're clear here, Actually, you know,
Speaker 1: let's keep listening. Here.
Speaker 9: The list of qualifying professional degrees includes medicine, pharmacy, and law.
Speaker 9: The proposed changes are scheduled to take effect in July.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, now listen. Apparently nursing, according to the
Speaker 1: Department of Education, has actually never been listed as a
Speaker 1: professional degree. I don't understand and why it's not like
Speaker 1: somebody's going to get a nursing degree or to get
Speaker 1: a BSN right to just get an academic degree in nursing.
Speaker 1: If you're getting a nursing degree, you're obviously trying to
Speaker 1: go into the medical profession. I don't understand why it's
Speaker 1: not listed as such. However, he is making this statement
Speaker 1: and people are pissed, So I take that for what
Speaker 1: it is. Sam. What are your thoughts, sir?
Speaker 3: Two things.
Speaker 12: No, this is a.
Speaker 2: Essential thing because they help not just with the doctors
Speaker 2: in this thing, but they also they do the blood walk,
Speaker 2: they do a lot of backbone.
Speaker 3: But second, why does that bod.
Speaker 2: Remind me, not that one, but the chick that they
Speaker 2: said was the laugh of in fifty years? Why does
Speaker 2: she remind me of that Vegan teacher.
Speaker 1: Brother. She reminded me of Barber streisand I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with you. She hadn't know but that you'll think
Speaker 1: you you have seen Barber. You ever seen meet the Fucker's?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You ever see Meet the parents?
Speaker 2: I think so the mom h but she looks like
Speaker 2: a mix between the vegan lady and the crip keeper.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I thought the same thing when I'm looking
Speaker 1: at him, my brother. That's a very Jewish looking woman.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 5: She literally is definitely Jewish.
Speaker 1: I think you know what you're You're gonna take this
Speaker 1: one because if I answer it, I'm gonna sound racist. Royce.
Speaker 1: Explain to Sam how you knew that this one was Jewish? Please?
Speaker 6: So, first of all, it's the way she talks.
Speaker 1: Second of all, she's.
Speaker 5: Been a number of Jewish movies. Third of all, I
Speaker 5: mean she has a wonderful nose.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, we're talking about Barber Streisan and we're talking
Speaker 1: about the nursing lady on screen right now.
Speaker 5: I was I was talking, Oh well, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Is extremely Jewish she has I mean, she played I
Speaker 1: know she was yental. Excuse me, I don't even know
Speaker 1: how to for announce it lentil anymore. Jesus Christ, did
Speaker 1: you say, isn't that what the movie means? I never
Speaker 1: saw she could work in a newspaper or some ship.
Speaker 5: Well, so she could learn, uh learn town Wood, because
Speaker 5: way back in the day women didn't learn.
Speaker 1: So it's called yent. It's a y not an l.
Speaker 1: So there it is. Okay. The lady though, I thought
Speaker 1: that this lady Jewish.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, like she has a very she has very
Speaker 5: prominent Jewish features.
Speaker 1: That eyesight, high cheek, bones, the schnas. Now this lady
Speaker 1: looks Jewish as fucked to me. I'm glad that Royce
Speaker 1: is here to confirm my beliefs on that for sure.
Speaker 1: What's her name doesn't matter, doesn't matter, only because like
Speaker 1: have the Jewish last name and that'll be it. No,
Speaker 1: she has a very white last name. But I'm we
Speaker 1: don't know her maiden name. You know what I'm saying now,
Speaker 1: what you said Smith?
Speaker 2: Smith?
Speaker 1: You know she looks like a Silverstein or Golden Bomb,
Speaker 1: Golden Bomb or you know, Diamondberg. You know, you know
Speaker 1: the types. We're going that route. You know, as we're
Speaker 1: talking about the Jews, we might as well go ahead
Speaker 1: and bring up this next topic. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many people saw this, but did you know that Homeland Security,
Speaker 1: the United States Department of Homeland Security, their Twitter slash
Speaker 1: X was based out of Tel Aviv. Because that's the
Speaker 1: thing that they brought up. People said some things about it,
Speaker 1: and it got instantaneously taken down. Let's talk about it together. Yes,
Speaker 1: good members of the Cajun Night, we are now going
Speaker 1: to spend a little bit of time talking about Israel
Speaker 1: before we get on to the next course of action.
Speaker 1: Ex's new location transparency feature unleashes questions about origins of
Speaker 1: MAGA accounts. The function, which shows that a slew of
Speaker 1: magabranded accounts are apparently based outside the US, also stirred
Speaker 1: speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account
Speaker 1: was created a new feature on access to confusion anger
Speaker 1: and a wave of online sleuthing after users discovered that
Speaker 1: the platform was suddenly displaying the surprising location where certain
Speaker 1: accounts are based. Over the weekend, users notice that clicking
Speaker 1: on an account's join date now opens a tab that
Speaker 1: shows the country or region in which the account is located.
Speaker 1: X's head of product Nikita Buyer, tease the feature last
Speaker 1: month as a way to help users verify the authenticity
Speaker 1: excuse me authenticity of content they read and limit the
Speaker 1: influence of troll farms, which often run political accounts from
Speaker 1: outside the countries they target. The issue of the inauthentic
Speaker 1: or quote unquote bought accounts has plagued the platform, formerly Twitter,
Speaker 1: and other social media sites for over a decade. Perhaps
Speaker 1: most notably, inauthentic accounts on Twitter and other social media
Speaker 1: platforms were allegedly used by a Russian government operation in
Speaker 1: the run up to the twenty sixteen election in an
Speaker 1: attempt to influence the outcome super allegedly there right. The
Speaker 1: incident set off a wave of concern online about the
Speaker 1: persistent presence of inauthentic accounts, but detection methods to sniff
Speaker 1: out such accounts remained unreliable for years. When tech billionaire
Speaker 1: Elon Musk took over Twitter in twenty twenty two, he
Speaker 1: promised to address the issues of quote unquote bots on
Speaker 1: the platform, conducting several purges early in his ownership of
Speaker 1: the company that took down many accounts. Several studies have shown, however,
Speaker 1: that the suspected inauthentic activity on the platform has remained
Speaker 1: at persistent levels since Muck's Excuse Me Musk bought Twitter.
Speaker 1: The new location revealing feature is a different approach to
Speaker 1: the issue. As soon as it appeared live for users,
Speaker 1: x was flooded with viral posts showing that numerous high
Speaker 1: engagement MAGA brand accounts that presented themselves as those of
Speaker 1: patriotic Americans appear instead to be based overseas, including Eastern Europe, Thailand, Nihigeria,
Speaker 1: and Bangladesh. An account called itself Ultramaga Flag Trump Flag
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, claiming to be based out of Washington,
Speaker 1: d C, is listed as being based in Africa. Another
Speaker 1: now deleted, the account with a President Donald Trump inspired
Speaker 1: username trump is My President. That's the name of It
Speaker 1: was listed as being based in Macedonia, and an account
Speaker 1: with the username at American, complete with a profile picture
Speaker 1: featuring a bald eagle over an American flag, is apparently
Speaker 1: based in South Asia. User also attempted to target left
Speaker 1: leaning accounts. Some pointed to an unofficial account with several
Speaker 1: hundred followers that purported to represent the Democratic Socialists of America,
Speaker 1: which exlisted as being based in Portugal. However, the real
Speaker 1: account for the political party has over thirty thousand followers
Speaker 1: and is verified. Some users pushed back against locations listed
Speaker 1: on their account. Three accounts belonging to NBC News journalists
Speaker 1: showed locations that did not correlate to where they are based,
Speaker 1: but where they had traveled in recently instead, or recently
Speaker 1: traveled too recently instead. X also placed a warning that
Speaker 1: popped up when a user's location is clicked on it's
Speaker 1: direct quote Here, the country or region that an account
Speaker 1: is based can be impacted by recent travel or temporary relocation.
Speaker 1: This data may not be accurate and can change periodically.
Speaker 1: End quote. While it's not clear exactly how X was
Speaker 1: determining users locations, Buyer posted Sunday night that the system
Speaker 1: was still evolving. In response to a post asking if
Speaker 1: the company had taken a shortcut and questioning its accuracy,
Speaker 1: Buyer wrote an upgrade, what happen in the next day,
Speaker 1: accuracy will be leared nearly ninety nine point nine to
Speaker 1: nine percent. He wrote that, being said, the posts that
Speaker 1: stirred the biggest frenzy came Friday morning, when screenshots and
Speaker 1: screen recordings claim that the US Department of Homeland Security
Speaker 1: account was listed as being based in Israel, quickly went viral.
Speaker 1: The department and buyer have both denied the speculation, claiming
Speaker 1: the posts are spreading misinformation x The users circulated images
Speaker 1: and videos that alleged to show the location field displaying
Speaker 1: Tel Aviv, Israel. The account information feature abruptly disappeared Friday night.
Speaker 1: NBC News did not view the account's location before the
Speaker 1: feature went away Friday, and has not confirmed the authenticsity
Speaker 1: of the posts. The situation comes amid mounting backlash from
Speaker 1: across the political spectrum of US official support for Israel,
Speaker 1: which many commentators have lamented as appearing to prioritize a
Speaker 1: foreign entity over America. DHS initially responded with a memelike
Speaker 1: image of Trump looking stunned, which neither confirmed nor denied
Speaker 1: the discourse about its account location. On Sunday, it followed
Speaker 1: up with an official denial, the official word from the
Speaker 1: Homeland Security Here we go. I can't believe we have
Speaker 1: to say this, but this account has only ever been
Speaker 1: run and operated from the United States. Screenshots are easy
Speaker 1: to forge, videos are easy to manipulate. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your attention in this matter. Research reached for comment. A
Speaker 1: spokesperson from DHS pointed out NBC News to the same
Speaker 1: social media state, that's the image of Trump looking stunned
Speaker 1: as hell right there. This is a picture where it's
Speaker 1: the Homeland Security X profile and as you can see,
Speaker 1: date joined July of two thousand and eight in Israel,
Speaker 1: account based in Tel Aviv. Yeah. The account information feature
Speaker 1: returns soon after Friday's brief shut off, with Buyer announcing
Speaker 1: a global rollout Saturday, but the feature, which previously listed
Speaker 1: both an account's current location and its location on the
Speaker 1: date of its creation, no longer shows the latter. Shocker.
Speaker 1: Buyer also responded to the speculation by telling a user
Speaker 1: to quote stop spreading misinformation in quote, saying X's account
Speaker 1: informative information feature was temporarily shut off quote because the
Speaker 1: account creation country was incorrect on a very small subset
Speaker 1: of old accounts due to IP ranges changing over time.
Speaker 1: End quote. Yeah, I'm sorry. There's no way that you're
Speaker 1: gonna tell me. Look, it was supposed to be DC.
Speaker 1: It was a little off. It was you know, it
Speaker 1: was just a little off across the entire Atlantic Ocean
Speaker 1: and Mediterranean Sea to Tel Aviv. But it meant to
Speaker 1: be DC. Okay, to stop making a big deal out
Speaker 1: of this. Here's the problem. Though, there were so many
Speaker 1: reports that came out. Some were saying, oh, well, you
Speaker 1: know how VPNs are. You know, it's going to put
Speaker 1: it to whatever location it wants to, and of course
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security should be using a VPN.
Speaker 1: How do we know it didn't just shoot out a
Speaker 1: random city, And it's like, hmm, of all the random
Speaker 1: cities that it could have put out Tel Aviv or
Speaker 1: anywhere in Israel right now, especially with the political climate
Speaker 1: in this country being what it's being, that's a tough
Speaker 1: sale that you're going to have a hard time convincing
Speaker 1: the public that that was an accidental thing from a VPN,
Speaker 1: or that whoever's running the x account just so happened
Speaker 1: to be in and around Israel in recent weeks, which
Speaker 1: made it seem like that, I'm sorry, that's that's a
Speaker 1: big shwing in a miss dude. Still, he responded to
Speaker 1: some of the posts showing the DHS account as being
Speaker 1: based in Israel, calling the claim fake news. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: That wasn't fake. That wasn't fake, that wasn't a photoshop
Speaker 1: situation that was confirmed by multiple sources. Basically, as soon
Speaker 1: as it went viral, X went down. So there's thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands and thousands of people that went and checked
Speaker 1: out the dhs X account on their own and saw
Speaker 1: that with their own eyes and took their own screenshots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was who. You're gonna have a hard time convincing
Speaker 1: the public that they didn't see what they just saw.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Quote location was not available on any grade
Speaker 1: check government account at any point, he wrote, in response
Speaker 1: to one screen recording, which X has now labeled a
Speaker 1: manipulated media. Furthermore, the DHS has only shown ips from
Speaker 1: the United States since account creation, except it says that
Speaker 1: it was created in Israel in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, you know. Anyway, that's pretty much the end
Speaker 1: of the article. Yeah, they're having a good old time
Speaker 1: trying to convince the public that they didn't see what
Speaker 1: they said they just saw. But hey, I guess we'll
Speaker 1: just have to find out as time goes on. Chatn't
Speaker 1: we That being said, we're gonna talk about this next
Speaker 1: thing a Forbes article And I don't know how many
Speaker 1: of you have heard this, but has Samsung installed unremovable
Speaker 1: Israeli spyware on your phone. This article has actually posted
Speaker 1: November eighteenth of this year, and it's also not just Samsung.
Speaker 1: There are reports that are saying that both iPhones and
Speaker 1: androids have irremovable malware and spyware that were placed in
Speaker 1: there by Israeli operatives. Now it is also not every
Speaker 1: single iPhone in circulation. I don't know if it's a
Speaker 1: small amount that's going to very specific people. Think of
Speaker 1: the moussad explosing pager situation that took place. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you know what, Let's learn about it together and
Speaker 1: try to sift through the bullshit on this one, shall we.
Speaker 1: You may not have seen headlines yet, but you will.
Speaker 1: There's a fur building on social media with Samsung accused
Speaker 1: of installing unremovable Israeli spyware on Galaxy phones. So what
Speaker 1: is unremovable? What is this unremovable app really doing on
Speaker 1: your phone? The app is called app Cloud, which has
Speaker 1: been around for several years. It's marketing app to encourage
Speaker 1: you to install other apps on your phone. But you
Speaker 1: can understand why users don't want unremovable shadowy apps, regardless
Speaker 1: of what they're doing day to day. The current FURRF
Speaker 1: that's weird started with an open letter to Samsung from
Speaker 1: sm Ex, which describes itself as a nonprofit that advocates
Speaker 1: for and advances human rights in digital spaces across West
Speaker 1: Asia and North Africa. The letter asked Samsung to end
Speaker 1: forced Israeli founded bloatwear installed relations. The apple was developed
Speaker 1: in Israel by Iron Source, which is now a part
Speaker 1: of Unity, as a US company that creates and grows
Speaker 1: games and interactive experiences across all major platforms for mobile, PC,
Speaker 1: and console to extended reality. Smex says it has investigated
Speaker 1: app cloud and that it is unremovable deeply integrated into
Speaker 1: the device's operating system, making it nearly impossible for regular
Speaker 1: users to uninstall it without root access, which voids warranties
Speaker 1: and poses security risk basically jail breaking your phone. Even
Speaker 1: disabling the bloatwear is not effective, as it can reappear
Speaker 1: after system updates. This open letter is now picking up
Speaker 1: momentum in the anti Israeli press on social media, which
Speaker 1: now includes unimproving claims that this spyware is collecting user
Speaker 1: data with links to Israeli states. To the Israeli state, rather,
Speaker 1: this is a marketing app, not a Notion Nation State
Speaker 1: collection tool. Wow. So again, you've probably seen this here.
Speaker 1: If you haven't, go check out the x post on
Speaker 1: international cyber digests unremovable Israeli spyware found on Samsung devices.
Speaker 1: And there's also other claims that could be made about
Speaker 1: the the iPhones as well. And no one's really given
Speaker 1: any clear cut answers as to what this app is doing,
Speaker 1: especially if it's basically the app Store for Samsung's or
Speaker 1: something close to it. What hypothetically walk down this road
Speaker 1: with me? Shall we let's do this together? What would Israel?
Speaker 1: And by Israel, I don't mean Net and Yahoo, and
Speaker 1: I don't mean the people living in Israel, I mean
Speaker 1: like the Moussad right, their intelligence agency, who would actually
Speaker 1: have a hand in this? What would they gain from
Speaker 1: knowing what apps people around the world are downloading?
Speaker 13: That?
Speaker 1: That's a very broad brushstroke to say that it's clearly
Speaker 1: de spile on people. Why do they care if you
Speaker 1: just download a clash of clan Yes, I mean even
Speaker 1: if you were downloading something from one of their enemies.
Speaker 1: Are you telegramm in it? Is that what they're worried
Speaker 1: about the telegram messages? Is it the CCP controlled TikTok.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine why that would be a productive use
Speaker 1: of time and resources as far as that's concerned. But well,
Speaker 1: I mean, apparently there's more legs to this story than
Speaker 1: what immediately meets the eye. Good God, words are hard.
Speaker 1: This story shows no signs of slowing down, as Android
Speaker 1: Authority says, Samsung has found itself at the center of
Speaker 1: controversy over an app that's pre installed on some of
Speaker 1: its affordable devices shipped in certain parts of the world. Now,
Speaker 1: I think that's also important to mention this allegedly allegedly
Speaker 1: is not in America. This is allegedly in Africa and
Speaker 1: certain parts of Asia. And if you look at certain parts,
Speaker 1: especially in northern and western Africa, you're gonna find a
Speaker 1: lot of Israeli terror groups that are operating there right now. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Boko Haram or what's the one
Speaker 1: operating right now in Somalia. We're going to do an
Speaker 1: episode about them here soon. Al Shabab. I don't believe
Speaker 1: that these groups are about to join forces and attack Israel,
Speaker 1: mostly because one of them is a Islamic state affiliate,
Speaker 1: the other one is an al Qaeda affiliate. The two
Speaker 1: have beef over which one is a better terrorist group
Speaker 1: than the other. It's a long mess, but I could
Speaker 1: understand at least if you were saying that MUSSA was
Speaker 1: trying to keep tabs on terrorist cells that are closer
Speaker 1: to their home base than others. I get that. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, if this app is installed in
Speaker 1: pretty much every Samsung, then I have a hard time
Speaker 1: believing that the spy wear is only being used in
Speaker 1: the African continent, or in Asia or in Europe, Like,
Speaker 1: why would it just be a thing that could be
Speaker 1: turned on on all Samsung devices World War I don't.
Speaker 1: And again to the level that they're talking about here,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gaining from an app that's
Speaker 1: there to download other apps. But again, I'm not a spy,
Speaker 1: so I don't. My brain doesn't operate at that level.
Speaker 1: So fair enough, let's continue here. It says, uh. What
Speaker 1: makes it more severe is that app Cloud, given its
Speaker 1: system app permissions, cannot be easily uninstalled. The app can
Speaker 1: be removed using ADB commands, although most users are unlikely
Speaker 1: to be proficient with or aware of these measures. Samsung
Speaker 1: has now responded to the increasing media attention, including a
Speaker 1: number of highly viral social media posts garnering many millions
Speaker 1: of views. The company told me, Samsung takes the protection
Speaker 1: of our user data very seriously and is committed to
Speaker 1: providing a secure experience in strict compliance with local laws
Speaker 1: and regulations. We continually strive to enrich our customer's experience
Speaker 1: by collaborating closely with a wide variety of regional and
Speaker 1: global partners. Samsung Ung's core principles of security, privacy, and
Speaker 1: user control ensure our customers have the choice to manage
Speaker 1: their personal data as they wish with the highest level
Speaker 1: of protection impossible. Yeah, again, that's kind of counterintuitive to
Speaker 1: what we're learning as of this moment, but like, all right,
Speaker 1: cool anyway, The article goes on here, but essentially there
Speaker 1: are some reports that are saying that Israeli spyware has
Speaker 1: been found not just on the Galaxy, but in the
Speaker 1: latest version of the iPhone. I don't know to what
Speaker 1: level and to what extent, but I can assure all
Speaker 1: the good members of the retinue of the Cage to
Speaker 1: Night we will be keeping our finger on the pulse
Speaker 1: and be reporting back as more of this goes on,
Speaker 1: especially if this story is gaining so much traction, more
Speaker 1: things about this are going to be coming out in
Speaker 1: the next few days and weeks, So just so everybody's clear,
Speaker 1: this was allegedly discovered. We were going to see how
Speaker 1: much of this is based in facts and how much
Speaker 1: of it is internet lore. We'll just see how it goes.
Speaker 1: That being said, while we are on the topic of Israel,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get a little update for the
Speaker 1: situation in Israel and Gaza and Palestine and all these things.
Speaker 1: This was actually dropped ten hours ago as of time recording,
Speaker 1: so you know what, let's learn more because I thought
Speaker 1: there was a ceasefire. I thought there was a ceasefire,
Speaker 1: but apparently the war's back on, so let's see what's up.
Speaker 14: Israel is once again on the prowl against Palestinians. Just
Speaker 14: days after the ceasefire began, holding in Gaza. IDF soldiers
Speaker 14: have now launched massive raids into Palestinian settlements in the
Speaker 14: West Bank region. The Israeli military and the Internal Security
Speaker 14: Service said in a joint statement that they had launched
Speaker 14: what they termed a broad counter terrorism operation in operation
Speaker 14: to continue for several days. IDF armored vehicles and hundreds
Speaker 14: of soldiers were seen entering the Palestinian town of Tobas,
Speaker 14: near Nabilis. This is the biggest military deployments by Israel
Speaker 14: in the West Bank since the Gaza ceasfire took effect
Speaker 14: last month. Palestinian media reported that a curfew was imposed
Speaker 14: Tuesday night in Tobas and neighboring areas. Roads were blocked
Speaker 14: with barriers and families were forced out of their homes
Speaker 14: so Israeli forces could use the buildings. Reports also said
Speaker 14: that helicopters were flown over the area as IDF operations continued.
Speaker 14: Israeli military sources say the operation was launched in response
Speaker 14: to efforts by Palestinian terror groups to establish a presence
Speaker 14: in the region, alongside an uptick in the number of
Speaker 14: so called terror incidents in the West Bank. According to
Speaker 14: Israeli media, the IDF distributed leaflets in Tubas claiming the
Speaker 14: area had become a haven for terrorism and warning that
Speaker 14: if the situation does not change, the IDF will act
Speaker 14: the same way it did in the northern cities of
Speaker 14: Jenin and turlokarm violence in the West Bank has soared
Speaker 14: since Hamas attack on Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 14: which triggered IDF military action and Gaza. According to data
Speaker 14: from the Palestinian Health Ministry, more than a thousand Palestinians
Speaker 14: have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces
Speaker 14: since the war.
Speaker 1: Real quick, actually, I do want to make a mention
Speaker 1: of this. Can we just stop and appreciate your boys?
Speaker 1: Ginger frow? Going on? Hold on, let me see where
Speaker 1: that do was at. You don't see many Jewish Gingers
Speaker 1: out there in the world, like in the wild, right,
Speaker 1: And then there's this homeboy. Where's he at? Look at
Speaker 1: this the ginger jew This is literally Cal from South Park,
Speaker 1: all grown up anyway, All right, sorry not to contract.
Speaker 5: Wait, go ahead, random fun of fact. So whenever there
Speaker 5: is someone who has a has red hair, first of all,
Speaker 5: they get their head rubbed. Second of all, they are
Speaker 5: considered good luck. Third of all, the Hebrew words for
Speaker 5: a red head is gingy.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait pause now, and we're gonna need some more
Speaker 1: clarification on this. Hold on, they get their head rubbed
Speaker 1: is like a cultural thing, like a part of the joke.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, no, some of like kids growing up like
Speaker 5: like just they get their head rubbed.
Speaker 1: It's like it said, very big thing. Okay, so Jewish
Speaker 1: gingers doing in fact exist in the wild. It's not
Speaker 1: just a South Parks get number one. Number two, they're
Speaker 1: considered good luck. I mean it's it's good luck to
Speaker 1: rub a redhead's hair. Why, I have no idea. The
Speaker 1: Jewish people are trying to get a little bit of
Speaker 1: the luck of the Irish showing them over here. And
Speaker 1: number three, the Jewish word for a redhead is ginga
Speaker 1: gingy gingy. Wow, the jokes right.
Speaker 3: The.
Speaker 1: He's a baker, he must have that as his title.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the unloving bread of the Gingy, the
Speaker 1: great red jew.
Speaker 3: Think like, I'm sorry, boys, but.
Speaker 2: Actually they actually proven that the red hair jeans that
Speaker 2: the Irish and everything is like they're known for, actually
Speaker 2: originates from the Middle East.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's also our closest ancestor to the Neanderthal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the whole thing. But anyway, Soulless, I don't know, honestly,
Speaker 1: I never heard that before the south Park episode, but
Speaker 1: it's become such a part of the lore at this
Speaker 1: point that it's just there.
Speaker 2: Oh m hm, Well, I mean he explains why the
Speaker 2: saying you got him beat him like the red headed
Speaker 2: step child.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess so. All right, anyway, back to the.
Speaker 14: Article herejorty of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of fire,
Speaker 14: rioters who clashed with troops, or terrorists carrying out attacks
Speaker 14: against Israel.
Speaker 1: All right, so allegedly the war is back on between
Speaker 1: Israel and Palestine. I mean, to the shock of literally
Speaker 1: no one, am I right, they've been fighting for ever,
Speaker 1: They're not going to stop now. I was hoping that
Speaker 1: this ceasefire would hold for at least a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: And yeah, as far as lawlessness and Gaza, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what happens when you take out their entire chain of
Speaker 1: command and structure. The quote unquote well, actually I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say quote unquote Hamas is a terrorist organization, but yeah,
Speaker 1: of course they're gonna have like killings in the street
Speaker 1: and things like that. But that wasn't the IDFs concern.
Speaker 1: They honestly didn't care if the Palestinians are killing each other.
Speaker 1: You know, that was them on them type of situation.
Speaker 1: But apparently we may have war back on the menu.
Speaker 1: As far as Gaza is concerned, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: as I found that out, I thought it would be
Speaker 1: worth it to bring up on this episode of The
Speaker 1: Cajun Night. We'll keep everybody in the loop on this
Speaker 1: one as things progress. Now moving forward here, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many of you have heard about this one,
Speaker 1: but as it is, when this is released, it will
Speaker 1: be Thanksgiving Day, which means that everybody's getting all stuffed
Speaker 1: with all that good food and all the good family fun.
Speaker 1: And that means that you're getting yourself ready for Black
Speaker 1: Friday shopping and Cyber Monday shopping. And yes, the Cult
Speaker 1: Conspiracy has great episodes. They are being released on both
Speaker 1: of these topics, which is wonderful. That being said, if
Speaker 1: you're in the market for a teddy Bear, make sure
Speaker 1: it's not one of these AI teddy bears, because there
Speaker 1: is some badness that's going along with this one. I know,
Speaker 1: I know, shocker. Everyone AI is trying to do the
Speaker 1: human race harm. I know it's crazy. I know, clutch
Speaker 1: your pearls on this one. But let's let's grid our
Speaker 1: teeth and get through this one together, shall we. AI
Speaker 1: teddy Bear back on the market after getting caught telling
Speaker 1: kids how to find pills and start fires. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Edi AI teddy bears are basically telling kids to do
Speaker 1: some some ill shit and just playing like that was
Speaker 1: just Oh that dastardly AI. What are we gonna do
Speaker 1: with it? Even though, like you know, you need to
Speaker 1: you need to stop giving kids toys with AI. I
Speaker 1: think that should be pretty easy to understand. But let's
Speaker 1: get into it here. After pulling its AI teddy bear
Speaker 1: Kuma from the market, the children's toymaker Folow Toy says
Speaker 1: it's now restoring sales of the controversial product, which a
Speaker 1: safety group found would give inappropriate and potentially dangerous responses,
Speaker 1: including explaining how to light matches, locate pills, and discussing
Speaker 1: a myriad of sexual fetishes. Yeah, a children's toy with
Speaker 1: AI was telling your kids how to use matches and
Speaker 1: telling them to do sexually explicit things. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: know some people are like, wait, hey, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: Accepted did though. Accepted did though. After a full week
Speaker 1: of rigorous review, testing and reinforcement of our safety modules,
Speaker 1: we have begun gradually restoring product sales, the company said
Speaker 1: in a statement posted on social media Monday. As global
Speaker 1: attention on AI toy safety continues to rise, we believe
Speaker 1: that transparency, responsibility, and continuous improvement are essential. Folo Toy
Speaker 1: remains firmly committed to building safe, eage appropriate AI companions
Speaker 1: for children and families worldwide. Hey, here's an idea. AI
Speaker 1: is not child friendly. Just don't do that, you know.
Speaker 1: The controversy kicked off earlier this month when researchers at
Speaker 1: the public interest research group Education Fund published their report
Speaker 1: detailing their findings after testing three AI powered toys, including
Speaker 1: Folo Toys Kuma, across extensive tests. All the toys produced
Speaker 1: respond is that parents might find concerning, such as discussing religion,
Speaker 1: glorifying dying in battle as a warrior in Norse mythology,
Speaker 1: and telling children where to find harmful items like matches
Speaker 1: and plastic bags. Yeah, I was straight up telling kids
Speaker 1: like put plastic bags over their face and like tightening
Speaker 1: around the neck and then breathe deeply. It's the craziest shit.
Speaker 1: We actually have a quick clip we're gonna play here
Speaker 1: in a bit. Folo Toys Kuma, however, proved to be
Speaker 1: the worst influenced by far when using the Maestral AI
Speaker 1: mode or Mistral not sure it explained where to procure knives, pills,
Speaker 1: and matches, even giving step by step instructions on how
Speaker 1: to light them. Let me tell you safety first, little buddy.
Speaker 1: Matches are for grown ups to use carefully. Here's how
Speaker 1: they do it, Kuma began, before listing the steps. Blow
Speaker 1: it out. When done, puff like a birthday candle. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: we have a clip. We're gonna play that one later.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Matches are for adults. But here's
Speaker 1: how adults use them. That's hilarious to me. Even more
Speaker 1: alarming were the response is produced by open AI's model
Speaker 1: GPT four oh, which Kuma ran by default. Experts have
Speaker 1: criticized GPT four oh for being especially sy psychop pantic, rather,
Speaker 1: and the model has found itself implicated in a number
Speaker 1: of lawsuits alleging that chat GPT led to the suicide
Speaker 1: and deaths of users who engaged in prolonged discussions with it.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Once again, to the shock of everyone, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: chat GPT wants the human race to kill itself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. It does. That's not even a new hot take.
Speaker 1: But somehow this is still a thing, And there's actual
Speaker 1: parents out there. There's actual adults, y'all. Like with functioning
Speaker 1: brains who pay bills and like have jobs and are
Speaker 1: allowed to vote, and are allowed to own weapons and
Speaker 1: things that are buying their children teddy bears with chat
Speaker 1: GPT it let that one. Let that one sync into
Speaker 1: the bone here. What the fuck I'm trying to be
Speaker 1: polite here, but like, these people are out here in
Speaker 1: these streets existing and shit and and and pro creating
Speaker 1: and making babies all willy nilly with no one stopping them,
Speaker 1: and then they think this is an appropriate thing to
Speaker 1: get a child. That's that's absolutely mind blowing to me. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Moving on in p i RG tests using the l
Speaker 1: M that wanted the large Language Model that wants power
Speaker 1: chat GPT, Kuma gave tips for quote being a good
Speaker 1: kisser with persistent but simp simple prompting. Each even launched
Speaker 1: into detail rants about explaining sexual kinks and fetishes like
Speaker 1: bondage and teacher student role play is a children's teddy
Speaker 1: bearr y'all. After explaining the kings, Kuma asked the user,
Speaker 1: who is supposed to be a child, what do you
Speaker 1: think would be the most fun to explore? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what the teddy bear was asking the child. After it
Speaker 1: just gave a list of kinks and fetishes and things.
Speaker 1: Folo Toy, which is based in Singapore, suspended sales of
Speaker 1: Kuma and its other AI powered stuffed animals in response
Speaker 1: to finding to the findings of the pi rg's report,
Speaker 1: and told the group that it was carrying out a
Speaker 1: company wide into in safety audit across all products. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I bet you still have AI and the Teddy Bear.
Speaker 1: You're releasing these children, so it doesn't matter how much
Speaker 1: of an audit you're doing. If if these children's toys
Speaker 1: have AI in it, that's not good. You need to
Speaker 1: remove that. And that's the whole thing with this toy
Speaker 1: was that it was supposed to be an AI companion
Speaker 1: for children. Like, literally, the model is the problem. The
Speaker 1: entire model of this product is the problem. You need
Speaker 1: to remove the entire thing, scrap the idea, not even
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board, Like throw the whole concept
Speaker 1: in the trash. Anyway, let's get into it here. Around
Speaker 1: the same time, open Ai confirmed that it had suspended
Speaker 1: Follo Toy from accessing its AI models for violating its policies,
Speaker 1: which prohibit any use of the service to exploit, in
Speaker 1: danger or sexualize anyone under eighteen years old, it said
Speaker 1: in a statement provided to the media outlet. Fullo Toy's
Speaker 1: self imposed suspension, however, hasn't lasted long. Shocker, the almighty
Speaker 1: dollar bill came through again. Now Kuma, along with its
Speaker 1: other toys, are once again available on the company's online store.
Speaker 1: In its latest announcement, the company says it's strengthened and
Speaker 1: upgraded our content moderation in child safety safeguards and deployed
Speaker 1: enhanced safety rules and protections through our cloud based system.
Speaker 1: Neither follow Toy nor Open Ai responded to a request
Speaker 1: for comment to Shocker. Y'all, it's unclear what AI model
Speaker 1: the company has chosen to be the default model for
Speaker 1: its toys going forward, or if the company had its
Speaker 1: access restore to open AI models. RJ. Cross, co author
Speaker 1: of the safety report, said their team would have to
Speaker 1: wait and see if the quick turnaround was enough to
Speaker 1: address the toys glaring risks. Direct quote here it says,
Speaker 1: I hope Follo Toy spent enough time on its safety
Speaker 1: review to solve the problem we identified. A week seems
Speaker 1: to be short on the short side to us, but
Speaker 1: the real question is if the products performed better than before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know about all that, you know what, Without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's just go ahead and play this news
Speaker 1: clip here. This is actually from ABC News. Sale of
Speaker 1: the AI toy suspended over dangerous messages to children. Let's
Speaker 1: go into this.
Speaker 15: This morning, new warnings about toys that contain AI chatbots.
Speaker 15: This might look like a cute plush doll, but sales
Speaker 15: of Kuma Teddy have now been suspended after researchers found
Speaker 15: the bear openly discussed sexually explicit and dangerous content with kids,
Speaker 15: including how to light a match well the matchbox with
Speaker 15: one hand when prompted. The bear also telling them where
Speaker 15: to find a variety of potentially dangerous objects, including knives, pills, matches,
Speaker 15: and plastic bags. The bear, which sold for ninety nine
Speaker 15: dollars online, integrates OpenAI's chatbot.
Speaker 16: We just have no idea what these AI toys are
Speaker 16: going to do to a child's development and to their
Speaker 16: mental health, and so unless you want your child to
Speaker 16: be part of this experiment, we recommend that you avoid
Speaker 16: AI toys for now.
Speaker 15: It comes as lawmakers grapple with how to regulate the
Speaker 15: AI industry. The website Political Reports the White House is
Speaker 15: now planning an executive order aimed at blocking states from
Speaker 15: issuing their own regulations to prevent a patchwork of state
Speaker 15: rules that could hamper innovation. Congress has also considered a
Speaker 15: similar action. One state lawmaker in Pennsylvania outraged, saying Washington
Speaker 15: is again attacking state sovereignty. Meanwhile, on Wall.
Speaker 17: Street, you're seeing an exponential growth of adoption and use
Speaker 17: of AI and the number of applications that are going
Speaker 17: to be using these AI is also growing.
Speaker 15: Stocks higher overnight after AI chip maker and Vidia exceeded expectations,
Speaker 15: reporting of stunning sixty five percent jump in quarterly profits
Speaker 15: over last year, appearing to calm investors' fears of a
Speaker 15: so called AI bubble bursting. As for that AI teddy Bear,
Speaker 15: the company has taken its AI enabled toys off the
Speaker 15: market for a safety audit. If you want to buy
Speaker 15: your child an AI enabled toy, experts recommend buying it
Speaker 15: from a reliable source and shopping forward in person.
Speaker 18: So you can try it out.
Speaker 1: Or crazy concept, don't buy your child and AI anything.
Speaker 1: I know, maybe I'm just crazy for this one, but
Speaker 1: damn yeah. The teddy Bear was telling kids about kinks
Speaker 1: about how to find matches, where to find knives, how
Speaker 1: to put a plastic bag over their face to could
Speaker 1: you know self delete that? Yeah, that's what AI does,
Speaker 1: so anyway, and that was CHADGBT. That wasn't like some
Speaker 1: obscure thing you've never heard of before. Yeah, anyway, be
Speaker 1: on the lookout as we're going into this holiday season.
Speaker 1: Don't buy your kids or nieces and nephews any AI
Speaker 1: Teddy Bears or anything like that. Continuing on here the
Speaker 1: next topic of discussion. Campbell's soup executive calls its products
Speaker 1: food for quote poor people, the lawsuit claims. A lawsuit
Speaker 1: filed in Michigan last week alleges that a Campbell Soup
Speaker 1: company executive made offensive comments about Indian workers and said
Speaker 1: the company's products were for poor people quote unquote during
Speaker 1: a conversation with a former employee. The suit was filed
Speaker 1: by Robert Garza, who was hired by Campbell's as a
Speaker 1: cybersecurity analysis in September twenty twenty four. Garza alleges that
Speaker 1: Campbell's executive, Martin Bally, made the offensive remarks during a
Speaker 1: meeting in November of twenty twenty four, which was intended
Speaker 1: to discuss his salary According to the lawsuit, Bally made
Speaker 1: several comments about Indian workers and said that Campbell's is
Speaker 1: highly processed food for poor people. Those are direct quotes,
Speaker 1: by the way. Garza said he informed his manager JD.
Speaker 1: Operole All Pearl Operaly, I don't know about the comment
Speaker 1: on January tenth, and claims that Operaly did not encourage
Speaker 1: him to report the incident to human resources. Garza within
Speaker 1: was abruptly terminated from employment just weeks later. The lawsuit
Speaker 1: says a purported recording of the discussion between Garza and
Speaker 1: Bally captured comments allegedly from Bally that claimed that the
Speaker 1: company soup uses bioengineered meat another direct quote, and denigrates
Speaker 1: the abilities of Indian workers. In a November twenty sixth statement,
Speaker 1: Campbell said that Bally is no longer employed at the company.
Speaker 1: It believes the recording is legitimate. Yeah, the comments were vulgar,
Speaker 1: offensive and false, and we apologize for the hurt they
Speaker 1: have called, Campbell said, wins that, Yeah, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: can't say that that was incorrect. To say that the
Speaker 1: meat is basically produced from a three D printer another
Speaker 1: direct quota, my dad, and then to say that it's
Speaker 1: for poor people. It's trash. He even went on to say,
Speaker 1: I don't feed my family this. I work for Campbell's.
Speaker 1: We don't eat it at my house because this is trash,
Speaker 1: it's for poor people. It's so highly processed, it's bioengineered meat.
Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, I don't think he understood that
Speaker 1: he was being recorded, but that's beside the point. This
Speaker 1: is like one of those hot mic situations where the
Speaker 1: actual proof comes out, and thank god it did, because
Speaker 1: we don't need to be eating this shit, y'all. This
Speaker 1: behavior does not reflect our values and the culture of
Speaker 1: our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of
Speaker 1: language under any circumstances. Bally was one of many vice
Speaker 1: presidents at Campbell's, According to James Reagan, a campbell spokesperson,
Speaker 1: Bally's LinkedIn lists his title as vice president and chief
Speaker 1: Information Security Officer. So with that being said, you would
Speaker 1: think that he might have a little bit more information
Speaker 1: as far as what's the mystery behind the mystery meat,
Speaker 1: if you will, so, I intending to take his word
Speaker 1: as his word on this one and take it as
Speaker 1: a verified source. Campbell's also defended the quality of its
Speaker 1: products noting on Wednesday that the chicken in its soup
Speaker 1: comes from long trusted USDA approved US suppliers and meets
Speaker 1: our high quality standards. The company added all our soups
Speaker 1: are made with no antibiotics ever chicken meat. Any claims
Speaker 1: to the contrary are completely false. The fact sheet published
Speaker 1: Tuesday on Campbell's website notes that the company does not
Speaker 1: use three D printed chicken, lab grown chicken, or any
Speaker 1: form of artificial or bioengineered meat in their soups. On Monday,
Speaker 1: James uth Meyer Sure, James Uthmeyer, the Attorney General of Florida,
Speaker 1: if any of our Floridian listeners are there, I hope
Speaker 1: I pronounced that right, If not sorry, said in a
Speaker 1: social media post that the state's Consumer Protection Division is
Speaker 1: investigating the quality of Campbell's products. Garz's lawsuit alleges he
Speaker 1: suffered stress, humiliation, embarrassment, and mental anguish as a result
Speaker 1: of Ballet and Operlai's actions. He is seeking compensation for emotional,
Speaker 1: reputational and economic harm, as well as attorney fees. According
Speaker 1: to the complaint, so he basically heard this conversation, recorded it,
Speaker 1: and when he went to his immediate supervisor, they told
Speaker 1: him not to go to HR with it, then immediately
Speaker 1: fired him. Now that it's come out there, I guarantee
Speaker 1: he's going to get a settlement. They're going to settle
Speaker 1: for this one because the recording, even Campbell's is saying,
Speaker 1: is accurate and verified. Now they are saying that these
Speaker 1: statements that were made are inaccurate and just completely holy false.
Speaker 1: But they're not denying that it was their homeboy that
Speaker 1: said the things. So I think that he'll be just fine.
Speaker 1: He'll be get a check here soon. But just want
Speaker 1: to bring that up everybody. If you're out there shopping
Speaker 1: for Campbell's, maybe don't get things with meat in it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean do at your own risk. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you what to do, man, not your dad. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Another thing as far as the American side of wildness
Speaker 1: going on here, who all remembers the sham Wow guy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the old sham Wow guy. Well, come to find out
Speaker 1: he's running for Congress in Texas as a Republican candidate.
Speaker 1: And if you're wondering, yeah, this is the same sham
Speaker 1: Wow guy that got in trouble for beating the hell
Speaker 1: out of a prostitute at one point in time. But
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more to the story than what
Speaker 1: the media initially led us on to believe. So here's
Speaker 1: here's the background to him. All right, sham wow guy.
Speaker 1: He is doing well financially, apparently his infomercial thing, he
Speaker 1: was seen as the next Billy Mays by a good
Speaker 1: number of people that watched that type of daytime television.
Speaker 1: And he had a little extra money, and he was
Speaker 1: lonely one night and decided to hire a lady of
Speaker 1: the evening for.
Speaker 19: Services, you know, as as certain people do, cool cool,
Speaker 19: and then as they are kind of in the beginning
Speaker 19: stages of coitas, she bites his tongue and like refuses
Speaker 19: to let go and like bites the hell out of it,
Speaker 19: I might add, to which he responded by.
Speaker 1: Beating the holy shit out of her. Then she calls
Speaker 1: the cops and he gets arrested. That's the beginning, middle
Speaker 1: and end of this. And for the record, he served
Speaker 1: his time, he paid his penalty, he's you know, all
Speaker 1: the things as far as that whole incident is concerned,
Speaker 1: just so we're clear. But now he's running for Texas
Speaker 1: Congress interestingly enough, So let's let's learn more about this
Speaker 1: here you, maybe you'll be saying wow. Famous infomercial pitchman
Speaker 1: Offer Vince Schmolly, Shlomi Shloamy Royce speaking on this one.
Speaker 1: Is Shlom a Jewish name. It sounds super Jewish, So
Speaker 1: shlow mey is yes.
Speaker 5: So that come from Shlomo, which is Solomon.
Speaker 1: Wow yep okay.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Vince Schloamy, better known as the sham Wow guy who
Speaker 1: advertised the super absorbent towel on Late night TV, has
Speaker 1: filed to run for Congress and Texas as a Republican.
Speaker 1: According to state election records. His filing, received Friday, was
Speaker 1: submitted under the name Offer Vince sham Wow Shlomy. His name,
Speaker 1: his name is gonna be on the ticket as sham
Speaker 1: Wow Shloamy.
Speaker 5: That's a great marketing tool, by the way. That's it's funny,
Speaker 5: it can be.
Speaker 1: But everybody also remembers the sham Wow guy got arrested
Speaker 1: for doing some shit with a prostitute. So like, maybe
Speaker 1: you would want to distance yourself from any of that shit.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I mean, if it's already out there,
Speaker 1: you might as well lean into it. You know, Hey,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I guess you gotta keep
Speaker 1: that pampan strong and get ready to drop them Kamala Hans,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But anyway, Shlomi told Fox
Speaker 1: News Digital in an interview Sunday that his decision to
Speaker 1: run for office was ultimately motivated by a desire to
Speaker 1: destroy wokeism and as a tribute to the late Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 1: who he called the original woke buster. He added that
Speaker 1: the political infighting in the country eventually inspired him to
Speaker 1: seek office and make America happy. All Right, The sixty
Speaker 1: one year old is rarely American entrepreneur, damn it called
Speaker 1: that one. Hell yeah, is aiming to unseek Congressman John
Speaker 1: Carter or a Texas or a Republican from Texas, the
Speaker 1: eighty four year old incumbent who is seeking reelection in
Speaker 1: the district. Carter's turf includes the northern Austin suburbs, Temple
Speaker 1: and Fort Hood. You know, Okay, Hey, I don't know
Speaker 1: much about Shlomy. I don't know his ties to Israel,
Speaker 1: although I'm sure god I could already hear the conspiratorial
Speaker 1: rumor mill just starting up on this one. But take
Speaker 1: away his Israeli background and all that stuff. If he
Speaker 1: is at least a decent Republican candidate. I think it
Speaker 1: would be in the best interest of everyone to get
Speaker 1: an eighty four year old incumbent out of office. Eighty four,
Speaker 1: eighty four. The man needs to go to the house.
Speaker 1: It's time. I wish we had an age cap I
Speaker 1: wish we had an age cap on who can be
Speaker 1: in office? Perfect example as to why do you all
Speaker 1: remember when Mark Zuckerberg was basically on trial at Congress
Speaker 1: and these these boomers, the ultra boomers, were like, solution
Speaker 1: when to Wi Fi, John, can can the facebooks listen
Speaker 1: to me? It's like, what I'm if?
Speaker 15: What?
Speaker 1: Wait? I'm just asking I see the lights on the router.
Speaker 1: Is this connected to the facebooks?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 17: Like?
Speaker 1: I'm not even I think it's within the realm of
Speaker 1: reality to where I'm being super generous with eighty. I
Speaker 1: honestly would think possibly even seventy should be the cutoff age.
Speaker 1: But I will be gracious and say eighty. Once you
Speaker 1: hit eighty, it's time to go home. Call it good
Speaker 1: like you did your part and it's time just going
Speaker 1: to the house. But anyway, all right, continuing here, Shlomi
Speaker 1: is now one of at least five candidates aiming to
Speaker 1: compete in the primary for Texas's thirty first congressional district,
Speaker 1: a reliably red stronghold. Wow, So this is him, Vince Offer,
Speaker 1: sham Wildgade and his wife Melody Claire Mandate. Melody Claire
Speaker 1: Mandate this, I mean, these people just sound like they're
Speaker 1: made up. But okay, attend to Hollywood Domino and Bouvet
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty two's eighth annual pre Oscar Hollywood Domino Gala
Speaker 1: and tournament at sunset time. What the hell? That's a
Speaker 1: long ass name. That's a long ass name. Anyway, there
Speaker 1: is a picture of them in twenty fifteen, but and that,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, was around the time of the
Speaker 1: issues here. Schlomy, president and CEO of the TV marketing
Speaker 1: company Square one Entertainment, skyrocketed to popular culture fame in
Speaker 1: the two thousands with his high energy pitch videos that
Speaker 1: helped make the super absorbent sham Wow towel a household name.
Speaker 1: His rise to fame, however, was accompanied by several high
Speaker 1: profile controversies, including allegations of harassment and physical altercations, before
Speaker 1: he eventually stepped out of the spotlight. In recent years,
Speaker 1: and reportedly worked to clean up his image, which is fair.
Speaker 1: So this is the eighty four year old incumbent bro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and no disrespect to the man. He might be just
Speaker 1: a solid guy, not a rhino, the good politician, all
Speaker 1: the things, but Bro eighty four, Yeah, it's time to
Speaker 1: call it good man anyway. Let's see. In two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine, Sloman was arrested in Miami Beach after an
Speaker 1: alleged violent altercation with a sex worker, an incident that
Speaker 1: became tabloid fodder after police videos or police photos of
Speaker 1: his face injured surfaces, face injuries. Yeah, she bit the
Speaker 1: shit out of his tongue, like if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: like they they got into a bit of a bit
Speaker 1: of a dust up, if you will. Earlier in his career,
Speaker 1: he faced legal battles tied to his nineteen ninety nine
Speaker 1: underground comedy film, The Underground Comedy Movie. I've never heard
Speaker 1: of that one. In recent years, however, Slomy has kept
Speaker 1: a lower profile as he shifted back into marketing and entrepreneurship.
Speaker 1: See you know what, who knows, maybe we'll be having
Speaker 1: a sham wow congressman in Texas here soon. Crazier things
Speaker 1: have happened, y'all. What can I say? All right, getting
Speaker 1: into the next topic of discussion. All right, National Guard
Speaker 1: soldiers show in targeted attack near White House. All right,
Speaker 1: this just happened. And uh, Sam, you have a thing
Speaker 1: you wanted to bring up on this one. But I
Speaker 1: don't know what the situation was last you heard. But
Speaker 1: apparently they have the guilty parties in custody. As a
Speaker 1: term of recording, I don't know this to be a fact.
Speaker 1: They have a suspect in custody. Let's leave it at that,
Speaker 1: but let's let's go Actually, you know, before I read
Speaker 1: the article, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I saw the video of the aftermath, so I saw
Speaker 2: the dude getting a best general. I believe personally that
Speaker 2: they should seek the death penalty if he even if
Speaker 2: he makes it to the court. I'm surprised that they
Speaker 2: didn't pump rounds into the dude.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, which is crazy because like we were
Speaker 1: just in DC like two weeks ago, there is National
Speaker 1: Guard troops everywhere. Like it's it's I'm not saying, you're
Speaker 1: like you're living in a police state. No, it don't
Speaker 1: be stupid, right, but like it is an extremely safe place.
Speaker 1: I don't think we could go one hundred yards without
Speaker 1: seeing at least two up to three or four National
Speaker 1: Guard troops posted up and armed, not just standing there.
Speaker 1: For looks like they clearly had rifles slung and half
Speaker 1: of them had side arms. So for anybody to do
Speaker 1: this like you're asking to get lit up.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that they didn't hit them up because I
Speaker 2: I don't think I could have the restraint not to
Speaker 2: mag dump into them.
Speaker 1: It's mind blowing, dude. Now, I should say not in
Speaker 1: Northwest DC, where we went for like food and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, there was some National Guard troops posted by,
Speaker 1: like the metro stations and every so often, but especially
Speaker 1: around the National Mall, which is where all the big
Speaker 1: monuments and things are. Apparently this happened near the White House.
Speaker 1: There is so much security on top of police, on
Speaker 1: top of National Guard there for anybody to take some
Speaker 1: pop shots like that, it's that sounds like they're trying
Speaker 1: to do a suicide by cop. Honestly, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but let's see what happened here. November twenty sixth, This
Speaker 1: is from Reuters. Two National Guard soldiers were shot on
Speaker 1: Wednesday near the White House in what officials described as
Speaker 1: a targeted ambush, and the suspect was in custody after
Speaker 1: suffering gunshot wounds during the attack. I'm surprised he lived.
Speaker 1: Investigators identified the suspect as Rama Law Raman Raman No
Speaker 1: Law Jesus christ Lochnwall Sure, a twenty nine year old
Speaker 1: Afghan national from Washington State. Well, that's just a double
Speaker 1: negative there, according to a Justice Department official who spoke
Speaker 1: on condition of anonymity, the attack is being investigated as
Speaker 1: an act of terrorism. The official said, yeah, as well
Speaker 1: it should. Lana Kowal, Lacanwall, Lock and Wall, I don't
Speaker 1: fucking know. Lake and Wall came to the US in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one on a special visa program for as
Speaker 1: Afghans who assisted the US during the Afghanistan War and
Speaker 1: were vulnerable to reprisals from the ruling Taliban after the
Speaker 1: US withdrawal. Yeah, that was a shit show, the official said.
Speaker 1: But he overstayed his visa and is in the country illegally.
Speaker 1: According to the official, of course, it has to have
Speaker 1: a connotation to illegals that that had to get it
Speaker 1: shake on this one. President Trump was in Florida at
Speaker 1: the time of the attack, which prompted the White House
Speaker 1: to go into lockdown as law enforcement from multiple federal
Speaker 1: and city agencies swarmed the area. Yeah, I could imagine.
Speaker 1: I could imagine. You gotta understand, Washington d C. Has
Speaker 1: like I'm not saying this as an actual number, but
Speaker 1: realistically they have like eight different police agencies within the city.
Speaker 1: They had the Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police, the Monument Police,
Speaker 1: the Sheriff's Office, the municipal police, and then depending on
Speaker 1: which section of the city you're in, you might have
Speaker 1: a couple of other department centers out and about Couple
Speaker 1: that with the Secret Service, couple that with the Park Department,
Speaker 1: couple that with the National Guard troops, Like, this is
Speaker 1: not the place to try to do some dumb shit,
Speaker 1: and here we have it. The two soldiers members of
Speaker 1: the West Virginia National Guard, were part of a highly
Speaker 1: visible patrol around two point fifteen pm local time. This
Speaker 1: was in the middle of the day, broad daylight. This
Speaker 1: guy just decided that he was gonna try his luck. Okay,
Speaker 1: near the corner of seventeenth and I Street, a few
Speaker 1: blocks from the White House. Suspect came around a corner
Speaker 1: and ambushed quote unquote them, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Jeff
Speaker 1: Carroll said at a press briefing after an exchange of gunfire,
Speaker 1: national Guard troops were able to subdue the shooter. He
Speaker 1: said the two wounded soldiers were in critical condition at
Speaker 1: local hospitals. FBI Director Cash Betel said this is a
Speaker 1: targeted attack. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at the briefing
Speaker 1: the shooter appeared to have acted a Trump is at
Speaker 1: his resort in Palm Beach ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday,
Speaker 1: while US President or Vice President jd Vance is in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: In a social media post, Trump called the suspected shooter
Speaker 1: an animal who would pay a very steep price and
Speaker 1: praise the National Guard. He also ordered five hundred more
Speaker 1: Guard soldiers deployed to Washington. Secretary of Defense Pete Heggsth
Speaker 1: told reporters, joining about twenty two hundred already in the
Speaker 1: city as part of the president's continuous immigration and crime
Speaker 1: crackdown or targeting democratic led cities. Witnesses describe the chaotic
Speaker 1: seam The shooting unfolded near Farragut Square, a popular lunch
Speaker 1: spot for office workers just a few blocks from the
Speaker 1: White House. The park, where the light posts are wrapped
Speaker 1: in reads and boast for the holiday season, is flanked
Speaker 1: by fast casual restaurants and a coffee shop, as well
Speaker 1: as two metro stops. Yeah, Farragut is a pretty well
Speaker 1: traveled metro stop. Witnesses described to Cane after shots were
Speaker 1: fired with pedestrians fleeing. Mike Ryan fifty five said he
Speaker 1: was on his way to buy lunch nearby when he
Speaker 1: heard what sounded like gunfire. He ran half a block
Speaker 1: away and heard another round of apparent gunfire. When he
Speaker 1: made his way back to the scene, he saw two
Speaker 1: National Guard soldiers on the ground across the street, with
Speaker 1: people trying to resuscitate one of them. At the same time,
Speaker 1: other Guard troops had pinned someone to the ground. Another witness,
Speaker 1: Emma McDonald, said she saw one of the soldiers carried
Speaker 1: away on a stretcher of minutes after the shooting, his
Speaker 1: head covered in blood and an automated automated compression system
Speaker 1: attached to his chest. Wow. National Guard soldiers have been
Speaker 1: in Washington since Trump's initial deployment in August, a move
Speaker 1: that was opposed by local officials and criticized by Democrats.
Speaker 1: The Guard troops in the city include contingents from the
Speaker 1: District of Columbia, as well as Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: West Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama. Yeah. I gotta say, all
Speaker 1: the troops that we saw there, we asked around. Most
Speaker 1: of them were from West Virginia as of a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, ayway, but they're spread out throughout the city,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, So that's the situation. As far as
Speaker 1: the two soldiers they got got by this Afghan national
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and hear this report. This dropped right
Speaker 1: before we started shooting this live episode. This is the
Speaker 1: situation as of this moment.
Speaker 20: Let's go breaking news just coming into us in the
Speaker 20: last maybe ninety seconds or so, as suspect has now
Speaker 20: apparently been identified and that's shooting of two National Guard
Speaker 20: troops in DC. I want to bring in our national
Speaker 20: Law enforcement and intelligence correspondent Tom Winter. All right, Tom,
Speaker 20: bring us up to speed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Howe Ford.
Speaker 21: Senior US law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation say
Speaker 21: they've identified the man they believe is responsible for shooting
Speaker 21: of those two National guardsmen who are now in critical condition.
Speaker 6: They've identified the.
Speaker 21: Individual as Rock Manula or Rob Manula Lock and Wall.
Speaker 21: Date of birth is a February ninth, nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 21: Last known address is in Bellingham, Washington. This individual was.
Speaker 6: Identified through he did not have an an ID on him.
Speaker 21: We have a photo of him being put into a stretcher,
Speaker 21: had been stripped of his clothing or had very limited
Speaker 21: clothing apparently at the time of this incident occurring as
Speaker 21: he targeted these two National guardsmen used a used a
Speaker 21: handgun to commit it. Apparently as an Afghan national. I
Speaker 21: was still trying to get some details on his immigration history.
Speaker 21: But they were able to use a kind of a
Speaker 21: rapid fingerprint type technology that is completely electronic. So take
Speaker 21: out of your head's kind of the law and order
Speaker 21: version where they put the ink on your fingers and
Speaker 21: check from there. This is all digital and we're able
Speaker 21: to check that against the database and come up with
Speaker 21: this in individual's identification. Having seen a photo that was
Speaker 21: still trying to confirm of this person and a photo
Speaker 21: of this person that was on the stretcher, they do
Speaker 21: appear to.
Speaker 6: Be the same individual.
Speaker 21: So again Rock Manula or Rob Manula, Lock and Wall
Speaker 21: from Bellingham, Washington, and Afghan national born in nineteen ninety
Speaker 21: six as the person that the FBI now believes is
Speaker 21: responsible for this, and as we've reporting, and as NBC
Speaker 21: News was first to report tonight, in fact, the FBI
Speaker 21: is investigating this initially as a potential act of terrorism.
Speaker 6: Of course, motives can change in the course of the investigation.
Speaker 21: They can look into that, but at least initially here
Speaker 21: this is going to be led by the Joint Terrorism
Speaker 21: Task Force in Washington, DC, and this information is now
Speaker 21: being shared with law enforcement agencies were told across the
Speaker 21: country just given the fact that they want to check
Speaker 21: up on all these things. Certainly officials here in New
Speaker 21: York are a whare of this information. We're told from
Speaker 21: officials in DC, because they wanted people in the law
Speaker 21: enforcement agencies here in New York to be aware of
Speaker 21: who this person was, to.
Speaker 6: See if there's any ties anybody they need to check.
Speaker 21: With tomorrow being the ninety ninth Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade,
Speaker 21: right now, there is not believed to be any sort
Speaker 21: of specific or credible threat to that, according.
Speaker 6: To an NYPD briefing, Tom can I ask.
Speaker 20: You something and I don't want us to get over
Speaker 20: or Skesier on this, But you point out that the
Speaker 20: last known location of this suspect was in Washington State,
Speaker 20: obviously across the country from Washington, DC is reason to believe,
Speaker 20: on the basis of the sources you're talking to, that
Speaker 20: this individual traveled across the country for the purpose of
Speaker 20: carrying out this attack. Had they already been spending time
Speaker 20: or living in DC for a little bit, Do we
Speaker 20: not know?
Speaker 21: That's probably the number one question that they're trying to
Speaker 21: figure out at this time. Check back on travel schedules,
Speaker 21: figure out how this person got there. They do have
Speaker 21: information as far as their driver's license and vehicle, they'll
Speaker 21: check that.
Speaker 6: There's obviously license plate readers. We've seen that.
Speaker 21: Come into such use by law enforcement of the past
Speaker 21: several years, and just this year you look at New
Speaker 21: Year's Day, that information was so helpful and trying to
Speaker 21: determine the location and how the individual that attacked New
Speaker 21: Orleans on New Year's Day.
Speaker 6: And also remember the.
Speaker 21: Incident at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, that individual
Speaker 21: who had an incendiary.
Speaker 6: Device that arrived at the hotel there.
Speaker 21: They were able to trace that person's travels through the
Speaker 21: license plate reader and get an identification.
Speaker 6: So all of that, Halley, will go into the investigation.
Speaker 21: But you've asked the question that law enforcement is desperately
Speaker 21: trying to figure out at this hour.
Speaker 20: And I know you're working the phones to try to
Speaker 20: figure that out. Tom Winter, thank you for jumping in
Speaker 20: front of a camera with that developing news late to night.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, all right. So they have the suspect
Speaker 1: in custody. Cool. Cool. It blows my mind that this
Speaker 1: guy thought that this would go well. To be completely
Speaker 1: honest with you, perhaps he had lost his mind. I
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be able to get in Sandy case
Speaker 1: on this one. He was here legally on a visa
Speaker 1: for and that was offered to a ton of Afghan
Speaker 1: individuals that helped troops in the war that we were fighting.
Speaker 1: And then he gets here. He was born in ninety six,
Speaker 1: so he was a younger guy, you know, late twenties,
Speaker 1: and he decided that he was just gonna go for
Speaker 1: it on this one and try to commit a terrorist
Speaker 1: attack in an extremely high profile area against well armed
Speaker 1: troops that are also surrounded by more police and more troops.
Speaker 1: Like there was there was a zero percent chance that
Speaker 1: he was gonna make it out of this, okay, which
Speaker 1: is why I'm currently of the belief that he was
Speaker 1: trying to do a suicide by cop type of situation.
Speaker 1: I don't know that for a fact, but that makes
Speaker 1: sense to me personally anyway. All right, moving on from
Speaker 1: the DC shooting situation, now, let's talk about this one.
Speaker 1: A new UFO documentary reveals Russia discovered alien spacecraft. The
Speaker 1: director says, yes, and when people hear UFO disclosures and stuff,
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand in America we're looking at the
Speaker 1: American stories, right, But there's all types of UFO sightings
Speaker 1: and disclosures that are happening around the world. And I
Speaker 1: could understand why America is such a hotspot for this.
Speaker 1: We're a very large country by comparison, And think about
Speaker 1: it like this, if anything was going to crash from
Speaker 1: outer space and hit the planet Earth, we have a
Speaker 1: higher probability of it hitting our country than others strictly
Speaker 1: because of the size. We have a larger net that
Speaker 1: we're casting to catch more things. So I understand that
Speaker 1: Russia is also a very very large country, and yes,
Speaker 1: most of their population may not be spread out as
Speaker 1: much as it is in America because a lot of
Speaker 1: the country, a lot of it is habitable, a lot
Speaker 1: of it is also super frigid and not as comfortably habitable.
Speaker 1: I get that. But that being said, Russia has a
Speaker 1: very long list of UFO situations that have taken place
Speaker 1: over time. Now a lot of these are not things
Speaker 1: that we can openly discuss because a lot of this
Speaker 1: happened during the Soviet era Russia, and a lot of
Speaker 1: that was Soviet secrets, and they kept that very very
Speaker 1: under wrapped. And then even after the Soviet Union fell,
Speaker 1: a lot of that got redacted if it even got
Speaker 1: released at all. So now we have a new documentary
Speaker 1: that has come out that's talking about a Russia TIC tax.
Speaker 1: Let's learn about this one together. Here a new UFO
Speaker 1: documentary shows US intelligence officer saying they believe Russia recovered
Speaker 1: in alien spacecraft thirty six years ago. Direct quote here
Speaker 1: it says, that's my officials in my film go on
Speaker 1: record saying the age of disclosure. Director and producer Dan
Speaker 1: Farrow told Elizabeth Vargas reports it was significantly larger than
Speaker 1: the TIC TAC encountered by the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike
Speaker 1: Group and Commander Dave Fraber, who pursued it. The Age
Speaker 1: of Disclosure, which was released Friday, addresses what Farah calls
Speaker 1: an eighty year cover up of the existence of non
Speaker 1: human intelligent life. The one hundred nine minute film features
Speaker 1: interviews with more than thirty people who serve or have
Speaker 1: served in high levels of government, most notably current Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Marco Rubio, as well as figures considered authorities
Speaker 1: on the topic of UFOs and undeniable anomalists or unidentified
Speaker 1: anominalist phenomena aka UAPs. Previously, the most secretive program was
Speaker 1: a Manhattan Project, but we found out in hindsight that
Speaker 1: the Manhattan Project had leaks, so when this program was created,
Speaker 1: they made it even more secretive and put more security
Speaker 1: measures in place, said Pharam. The people in my film
Speaker 1: revealed that the elements of this program are elements of
Speaker 1: the Air Force, elements of the CIA, and elements of
Speaker 1: the Department of Energy and Military Defense contractors. Absolutely doc
Speaker 1: Reville's two UAPs approached US military base. One of the
Speaker 1: interviews with an intelligence official speaking about an event that
Speaker 1: happened on a US military base where two UAPs approached
Speaker 1: the base. One of them landed and apparently non human
Speaker 1: beings exited the craft and interacted with members of the
Speaker 1: US Air Force and the CIA. Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1: These all sound like extraordinary claims that are hard for
Speaker 1: people to wrap their heads around. There are thirty four
Speaker 1: extremely high level military government intelligence officials who have who
Speaker 1: people have trusted with very high level security clearances, who
Speaker 1: have been involved in keeping this nation safe in many
Speaker 1: different ways, and people whom we trust. It's really hard
Speaker 1: to ignore what these people are saying. Okay, I for
Speaker 1: one cannot wait to see this documentary. The Age of
Speaker 1: disclosure is what it is called. I'm just throwing it out.
Speaker 1: Apparently in this film they talk about a Russian massive
Speaker 1: UAP tic TAC event that took place thirty six years ago,
Speaker 1: so pretty much right as the Soviet Union was falling,
Speaker 1: they may or may not have had a massive UFO
Speaker 1: situation go down. It's interesting and I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: look into the documentary. Honestly, Okay, talking about Russia, here
Speaker 1: I found this clip and this is a reading of
Speaker 1: the Russian newspaper on the twenty sixth of November twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. So just we're all clear here as of
Speaker 1: time of recording. This is a paper of today. It's
Speaker 1: going to be dropping of course on Thanksgiving Day again,
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving everybody. But this this is excellent to show
Speaker 1: people what the narrative in Russia is as opposed to
Speaker 1: the narrative that we hear about what's going on in
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine situation, where we're going to talk about next.
Speaker 1: Let's learn about this together.
Speaker 22: Well, today I'd like to show how one little headline
Speaker 22: can say so much about the approach of the Russian
Speaker 22: authoritists to what is happening right now is Viestia writes,
Speaker 22: Ukraine and the EU are trying to derail Trump's plan
Speaker 22: with its strikes on Russia. Kiv is demonstrating that it
Speaker 22: doesn't want peace. Let's look at the first part of
Speaker 22: that headline. Ukraine and the EU are trying to derail
Speaker 22: Trump's plan. From what Russian officials and the Russian media
Speaker 22: have been saying, it's clear that Moscow is trying to
Speaker 22: sew division between Ukraine and Europe on the one hand
Speaker 22: and America on the other, trying to cast Kiev and
Speaker 22: the EU and Britain as warmongers working against peace and
Speaker 22: trying to sabotage the peace process as opposed to the
Speaker 22: Trump administration striving to end the war.
Speaker 1: We see that again in the government.
Speaker 22: Paperlesiskae Gagette to day. At the G twenty in South Africa,
Speaker 22: the Europeans launched a campaign to derail the Ukraine peace process.
Speaker 22: Marco Rubio is trying to find compromises. In other words,
Speaker 22: America's good, Europe's bad. It's a message aimed not just
Speaker 22: at readers in Russia, but at the White House too.
Speaker 22: I think the Russians would prefer to see Europe's sidelined
Speaker 22: or certainly removed, as an obstacle to Russia developing closer
Speaker 22: ties with America. Back to his vistav and the second Line.
Speaker 22: With its strikes on Russia, Kiev is demonstrating that it
Speaker 22: doesn't want peace. This reflects the parallel reality that Russia
Speaker 22: has created since twenty twenty two, in which Ukrainian attacks
Speaker 22: on Russia are portrayed as Ukraine not wanting peace or
Speaker 22: as terrorist attacks, as the Russian government paper puts it.
Speaker 22: But Russian attacks on Ukraine they're presented very differently, either
Speaker 22: as Russia liber writing villages and towns, was defending the motherland,
Speaker 22: or as efforts to force Ukraine into peace, as one
Speaker 22: Russian paper put it a few days.
Speaker 1: Ago, because Russia is trying to force peace and those
Speaker 1: Ukrainian terrorists just don't want peace obviously. But you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you would expect this from the situation on the ground.
Speaker 1: The last word that we got was that the Ukrainians
Speaker 1: were ready to come to the negotiation table again, which
Speaker 1: Trump had gotten Zelenski to agree to some terms. Multiple times,
Speaker 1: Zelensky has offered to come to the negotiation table. Putin
Speaker 1: has every time shut it down and said, no, we're
Speaker 1: not going to be done until we say we're done.
Speaker 1: We'll see how this shakes out, honestly. I you know, Tony,
Speaker 1: he had to check out a little early this evening,
Speaker 1: but he is still the believe that this whole situation
Speaker 1: will be wrapped up in March of next year. I
Speaker 1: currently do not agree with that statement. I hope that
Speaker 1: it gets done even sooner than that, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't believe so. I think Russia's gonna keep going to
Speaker 1: the bitter end until they either a have a collapse
Speaker 1: of a country or b they take over the entirety
Speaker 1: of Ukraine. I don't know. I look at the way
Speaker 1: that they attacked Kiev in the beginning. If they were
Speaker 1: just going after these certain easternmost regions that wanted to
Speaker 1: be Russian, then why would they have a seventy mile
Speaker 1: long convoy that got stopped because they suck at logistics
Speaker 1: on their way to the capital city of Ukraine in
Speaker 1: the west. That makes no sense out loud. I don't
Speaker 1: know what their overall goal is at this point. It
Speaker 1: seems like they've had such a loss of equipment and
Speaker 1: such a loss of life that they're in it for
Speaker 1: the long haul, and if they don't come up with
Speaker 1: something that show for it, then the Russian people are
Speaker 1: gonna just turn on Putin overall, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: hopefully there's a piece accord that is struck soon around
Speaker 1: than later. Go ahead, sim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think at this point they're just gonna grind
Speaker 2: each other into dust and that's about the only inevitable outcome.
Speaker 2: Either that or Russia's gonna have another collapse and then
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to become a whole new iteration, which
Speaker 2: this iteration has only been around since what the mid nineties.
Speaker 1: Yeah or early nineties ish, But yeah, So in.
Speaker 2: The grand scheme of things, ain't about time for them
Speaker 2: to have a new revolution, just like with clients.
Speaker 1: Yes and no, I mean communism had its roots in
Speaker 1: Russia for a good long while, right, They've only had
Speaker 1: this version of themselves. I mean yeah, from the Bolshevik Revolution.
Speaker 1: So you could make an argument to say that Russia
Speaker 1: had let's just call it Marxism, because there was like
Speaker 1: different versions depending on which administration, but they had Marxism
Speaker 1: as their national way of doing things. From you could
Speaker 1: argue the twenties to nineteen ninety so, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean seventy years give or take on that they've only
Speaker 1: had this version of quote unquote democracy, even though it's
Speaker 1: not a democracy. There's only one dude on the ballot box,
Speaker 1: and there's someone running against him, but it's usually one
Speaker 1: of his homeboys, who you know, might get five percent
Speaker 1: of the vote or something.
Speaker 23: Isn't that just just a fancy dictatorship over there, That's all? Yeah,
Speaker 23: it's And I mean, guys, does his child, if he
Speaker 23: has like a Satan spawn or whatever croutch Gobin, do
Speaker 23: they assume.
Speaker 1: A power per the Russian constitution?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: However, I have a hard time believing that Putin will
Speaker 1: not hand select his successor and give him the endorsement,
Speaker 1: and the Russian people will sign up and vote for
Speaker 1: that guy because their Lord and savior of Vladimir Putin said, so.
Speaker 2: You know the movie that's shining with those little two
Speaker 2: goals to say, wanna come play with me? His children
Speaker 2: look just like those little creepy things.
Speaker 1: Gonna be honest, didn't know putin head children.
Speaker 2: He has two little girls and they're fucking creepy as
Speaker 2: shit that like their eyes have no souls behind them.
Speaker 1: I believe you. I just didn't know that. But okay,
Speaker 1: talking about somebody else who has no soul, let's talk
Speaker 1: about old Panda Bear himself. China's Xizhuping raises future Taiwan
Speaker 1: in call with Donald Trump. So apparently Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: she had a phone call, and in the mix of this,
Speaker 1: Trump had made a mention about, hey, you know, Taiwan,
Speaker 1: they're trying to do their thing over here. You need
Speaker 1: to just let it go back off, and she let
Speaker 1: it slip that Taiwan is critical to the future plans
Speaker 1: of China. Essentially, Trump kind of probed and was like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: you don't let it go, and she was like, no,
Speaker 1: if we're not getting Taiwan, then like we're just not even.
Speaker 1: We have to get Taiwan, and that's the situation as
Speaker 1: of now. But let's get into it here. This is
Speaker 1: from the Guardian. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory,
Speaker 1: and G told Trump that its return was an integral
Speaker 1: part of the post war international order. Yeah, Chinese leader
Speaker 1: Jijipanga told Donald Trump that Beijing's claim to Taiwan remained
Speaker 1: unchanged in a phone call that came amid rising tensions
Speaker 1: over self governing the self governing island. G told Trump
Speaker 1: on Monday the Taiwan's return to China was an integral
Speaker 1: part of its post war international order, forged in the
Speaker 1: joint US China fight against fascism and militarism. According to
Speaker 1: the Chinese Foreign Ministry, China claims Taiwan is part of
Speaker 1: its territory and is vowed to annex it by force
Speaker 1: if necessary. Taiwan's democratically elected government strongly rejects China's stance.
Speaker 1: The ministry said they the call touched on other issues,
Speaker 1: including Ukraine, with G also stressing the need to build
Speaker 1: on a fragile trade truce between China and the US
Speaker 1: Taiwan featured prominently. China is embroiled in a week's long
Speaker 1: diplomatic row with Keys, US ally Japan over the island
Speaker 1: that has seen a dip in Chinese tourism to Japan,
Speaker 1: a ban on Japanese seafood, and the cancellation of joint
Speaker 1: cultural events. Yeah, which also makes sense, China and Japan
Speaker 1: don't really even before World War two and all that
Speaker 1: these cultures do not blend well whatsoever. But anyway, the
Speaker 1: bitter dispute between Tokyo and Beijing was triggered after Seney Takachi,
Speaker 1: Japan's new Prime minister, suggested this month that Tokyo could
Speaker 1: intervene militarily if any attack on Taiwan. On Tuesday, Takaichi
Speaker 1: sure said she also had a call with Trump and
Speaker 1: discussed his conversation with g as well as US Japan relations.
Speaker 1: She and Trump held a wide range of exchange on
Speaker 1: views on strengthening the Japan US alliance and the challenges
Speaker 1: and issues facing the Indo Pacific region, she told reporters,
Speaker 1: without elaborating that she said Trump had proposed the call.
Speaker 1: The US does not officially recognize Taiwan's claim to statehood,
Speaker 1: but Washington remains the island's most important partner and arms supplier.
Speaker 1: Trump did not mention Taiwana. His post on truth Social
Speaker 1: about his call was GI and staid he praised quote
Speaker 1: unquote extremely strong US China relations. According to China's Foreign Ministry,
Speaker 1: Trump told g during the discussion that the US understands
Speaker 1: how important the Taiwan question is the China very political answer.
Speaker 1: In response, Taiwan Premier Cho Jung Tay said on Tuesday
Speaker 1: that a return to China is not an option for
Speaker 1: the islands twenty three million people. We must once again
Speaker 1: emphasize that the Republic of China Taiwan is a fully
Speaker 1: sovereign and independent country, Choe told reporters outside parliament, referring
Speaker 1: to the islands, referring to the island's former name. For
Speaker 1: the twenty three million people of our nation, return is
Speaker 1: not an option. That is very clear, he added. The
Speaker 1: US president's statement also confirmed that he will visit China
Speaker 1: in April and that Gi will come to Washington later
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. Beijing said nothing about the state visit.
Speaker 1: Their call came after the pair met in late October
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty nineteen, engaging in closely
Speaker 1: watched trade talks between the world's top two economies. The
Speaker 1: Washington Beijing trade war, which encompassed everything from rare earths
Speaker 1: to soybeans and port fees, has rocked markets and slowed
Speaker 1: supply chains for months. A tents of deal reached in
Speaker 1: October's meeting in South Korea saw Beijing agree to suspend
Speaker 1: for one year certain export restrictions on critical minerals. China
Speaker 1: is hugely dominant in the mining and processing of rare earths,
Speaker 1: which are essential for sophisticated electronic components across a range
Speaker 1: of industries, including auto electronics and defense. Meanwhile, the US
Speaker 1: said it would cut back terrace on Chinese products, and
Speaker 1: Beijing would buy at least twelve metric tons of American
Speaker 1: soybeans by the end of this year and twenty five
Speaker 1: metric tons in twenty twenty six. She told Trump on
Speaker 1: Monday that their two countries should keep up the momentum,
Speaker 1: according to the Foreign Ministry. He added that the successful
Speaker 1: meeting in South Korea recalibrated the course of the giant
Speaker 1: ship of China US relations and provided more momentum for
Speaker 1: it to sail forward. Steadily. Since the meeting, China US
Speaker 1: ties have generally maintained a steady and positive trajectory, and
Speaker 1: this is welcome by the two countries in the broader
Speaker 1: international community, she said. Trump struck a similarly optimistic tone
Speaker 1: in his statement, This call was a follow up to
Speaker 1: our highly successful meeting in South Korea three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Since then, there has been significant progress on both sides
Speaker 1: and keeping our agreement current and accurate. Now we can
Speaker 1: set our sights on the big picture, he said. US
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Scott Biscent had has said Washington hopes to
Speaker 1: finalize a deal with Beijing for securing supplies of rare
Speaker 1: earth by Thanksgiving holiday, which falls on Thursday or as
Speaker 1: of the time of this airing today. The two leaders
Speaker 1: also discuss the war in Ukraine, an issue high on
Speaker 1: Trump's agenda as he pushes foreign into the war. China
Speaker 1: has positioned itself as a neutral party, and in Monday's call,
Speaker 1: she reiterated his backing to end the nearly four year conflict. Okay,
Speaker 1: so continuing on with this conversation here, let's re let's
Speaker 1: learn about this one together. This is from Bloomberg Television.
Speaker 1: She pushes Trump on the status of Taiwan in a
Speaker 1: phone call. Let's get into it here.
Speaker 18: We get a phone call from China.
Speaker 24: This took place this morning as kind of an odd
Speaker 24: headline that we have going in Atlanta, on the same
Speaker 24: day that Howard Lutneith, Commerce Secretary joined Bloomberg Surveillance to
Speaker 24: talk about export controls when it comes to China, whether
Speaker 24: or not to sell Blackwells or other high end AI chips,
Speaker 24: maybe the H two hundred, which is reportedly being considered
Speaker 24: inside the White House.
Speaker 18: Here's what Latnik said to us a bit earlier today.
Speaker 13: Do you want to sell China some chips and keep
Speaker 13: them using our tech and our tech stack, or do
Speaker 13: you say to them, look, we're not going to sell
Speaker 13: you our best chips. We just get to hold off
Speaker 13: on that and we're going to compete in the AI
Speaker 13: race ourselves.
Speaker 1: So that is the question.
Speaker 13: It's in front of the President. He's going to decide.
Speaker 13: It's a really really interesting question. He's got all the information,
Speaker 13: he's got lots and lots of experts talking to him,
Speaker 13: and he's going to decide which way he wants to
Speaker 13: go forward.
Speaker 24: It would be a huge deal obviously for Nvidia, but
Speaker 24: President She apparently was pressing President Trump on the status
Speaker 24: of Taiwan, urged him to maintain improved ties, and had
Speaker 24: a conversation about China's relationship with Japan.
Speaker 18: What do we make of the timing of this call today?
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, as Secretary Letnik said, you've got
Speaker 12: a couple of different elements that could be influencing the timing.
Speaker 12: The President wants to wrap up trade talks as well.
Speaker 18: Usually there's a big drum beat leading up time a
Speaker 18: meeting like that.
Speaker 12: Often there is, and you'll have sort of a sequence
Speaker 12: of meetings with additional officials, you know, at the working level,
Speaker 12: at the cabinet level, and so on. But you know,
Speaker 12: this could signal the urgency perhaps for Beijing in you know,
Speaker 12: both in addressing the status of Taiwan, you know, trying
Speaker 12: to influence the President's conversations, perhaps with with Japan as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so she is essentially trying very hard to make
Speaker 1: it as clear as possible that Taiwan belongs to China
Speaker 1: and Taiwan wants no part of it. That's the whole
Speaker 1: reason why they left the technical name for Taiwan is
Speaker 1: the Republic of China of Taiwan they see themselves as
Speaker 1: Chinese by culture. But when the communists takeover of China
Speaker 1: went down in the CCP basically made China what it
Speaker 1: is today. Everybody that was backing the democratically elected side
Speaker 1: of things exited and made their way to Taiwan. They
Speaker 1: do not want to be a part of the CCP.
Speaker 1: They do not get down with communism. They like democracy,
Speaker 1: they like freedom. I know it's a crazy, crazy concept,
Speaker 1: but that being said, China wants Taiwan to be a
Speaker 1: part of them again. America really likes Taiwan to be
Speaker 1: their own thing because they have a few manufacturing facilities
Speaker 1: there that we don't have to go through the CCP
Speaker 1: to get our chips, not all of them. China does
Speaker 1: absolutely run the reins as far as the rare earths
Speaker 1: are concerned, and therefore the semiconductors and the chips and
Speaker 1: all the things. But having more of that backing in
Speaker 1: Singapore and in Taiwan, and in the Philippines and in Indonesia,
Speaker 1: this is good for business as far as America and
Speaker 1: the rest of the world is concerned. So I do
Speaker 1: not know if Taiwan will remain its own independent place.
Speaker 1: I hope that it does because so many people have
Speaker 1: decided that if China was to invade Taiwan, they would
Speaker 1: weigh in. Japan, South Korea, and the United States have
Speaker 1: all basically said that if China tried to invade Taiwan,
Speaker 1: we would back it militarily and even up into and
Speaker 1: including putting boots on the ground to defend Taiwan. G
Speaker 1: and Trump just made a trade deal happen. Because this
Speaker 1: does tie into the Ukraine Russia situation. Russia has been
Speaker 1: selling its oil to India and China, specifically in mass
Speaker 1: amounts to fund the war effort. India and China just
Speaker 1: both agreed that they would stop buying Russian oil from sea.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was in the stipulation that they
Speaker 1: wouldn't buy it via you know, land based pipelines and
Speaker 1: things like that, but the majority of their imports came
Speaker 1: from the sea. They just made an agreement with Trump
Speaker 1: that they would stop buying Russian oil off of ships.
Speaker 1: This has had a pretty drastic effect on Russia's economy.
Speaker 1: I know it didn't in the beginning, because Russia was
Speaker 1: able to just slap on a new sticker on these
Speaker 1: barrels and sell it as some sort of a third
Speaker 1: party person. But you know, America is finally able to
Speaker 1: track that down and say, hey, stop buying Russian shit.
Speaker 1: I know the tag says Romania, I know the tag
Speaker 1: says Macedonia, stop buying it. It's Russian.
Speaker 9: You know it, I know it.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna keep playing these games like we're gonna
Speaker 1: play the ignorance right, We're not playing the Bay and
Speaker 1: the Woods routine. Stop buying Russian oil or we're gonna
Speaker 1: hit you with one hundred and fifty five percent tariffs
Speaker 1: and shit. Both China and India have agreed that they
Speaker 1: will stop buying the Russian oil. They're gonna stop playing
Speaker 1: the games. And apparently Russia's economy is feeling that hit
Speaker 1: right now, so potentially that could lead to the end
Speaker 1: of the war. But again I don't I don't really
Speaker 1: see it happening that way. God I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I hope that they feel the economic burden they see,
Speaker 1: you know, cooler heads prevail here and everybody just moves
Speaker 1: on and the war is over and everybody goes home, happy, happy,
Speaker 1: joy joy. But I also believe that Russia is way
Speaker 1: too invested, if in nothing else, the amount of equipment
Speaker 1: and body count, and they shed They had such a
Speaker 1: poor showing of themselves from the beginning of the war
Speaker 1: to now. I think the last numbers that I saw
Speaker 1: shows that Russians are dying at a three to one
Speaker 1: ratio to Ukrainians. And it's not because the Ukrainians are
Speaker 1: just oh so highly trained or anything like that. Russia's
Speaker 1: still using meat wall tactics. I actually, as a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, today I was watching a live footage from
Speaker 1: one of these trench warfarees. It was a gunfight that
Speaker 1: took place. It was a size It was these two
Speaker 1: Russian trenches that were set up as ambush sites. The
Speaker 1: Ukrainians found that they were there, drones and shit, got
Speaker 1: the drop on them and basically demolished them. They took
Speaker 1: one Ukrainian loss to around twelve twenty twenty two Russian losses.
Speaker 1: That happened today, or at least it was showing. It
Speaker 1: was live today, But I mean, who can actually verify
Speaker 1: what it was live or now. That might have happened
Speaker 1: a couple days ago. But that's my point. That's not
Speaker 1: a thing that was used as propaganda. That's the thing
Speaker 1: that was you had to look to find this kind
Speaker 1: of shit. The amount of manpower, the amount of equipment,
Speaker 1: the amount of resources, and the amount of embarrassment that
Speaker 1: Russia has garnered for themselves. As far as this is concerned,
Speaker 1: the only option for them is to come out on
Speaker 1: top in this whole situation. Coming to the piece tables
Speaker 1: right now is not gonna look like they walked away
Speaker 1: as a victor. It's gonna look like they fought tooth
Speaker 1: and nail for a few miles of dirt with nothing
Speaker 1: to show for it. But that being said, the areas
Speaker 1: that they have taken are extremely good for their farming
Speaker 1: and their mineral production, So maybe that's what it was
Speaker 1: all about in the beginning. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what Putin's actual intentions are behind
Speaker 1: any of this. But again, I hope the cooler heads
Speaker 1: prevail and everybody moves on from this and this whole
Speaker 1: thing could get wrapped up sooner rather than later. With
Speaker 1: all that being said, everybody, I think we are getting
Speaker 1: ready to wrap up this episode. I'm just looking through
Speaker 1: the chat right now and see if there was anything
Speaker 1: that was brought up, not particularly a couple of a
Speaker 1: couple of memes a couple of comments of things that
Speaker 1: were brought up. We kind of passed over those. Sam.
Speaker 1: Let's see your hand, brother, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I would just like to say from me to you,
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
