WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.640 Hello, and welcome to another beautiful episode of the Cage 2 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.400 to Night Live. 3 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.519 I am your host, the Cajun Knight, Jacob Mook. 4 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.880 I almost blended the cult of Conspiracy intro in the 5 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.519 Cajun Night intro. Yet again, that's the second week in 6 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.839 a row that I have done this. I apologize everybody. 7 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.760 My brain's a little out of sorts today. I have 8 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.879 been all day in a courtroom. I got pull for 9 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.359 jury duty, which, to be completely forthright, I completely forgot 10 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.600 about that until like. 11 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.280 A o'clock last night. 12 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.079 There was a stack of mail on my island that 13 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.520 I was just kind of going through and thumbing through 14 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.439 what things I did need to keep and need to 15 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.079 throw away and need to burn, you know, banking information 16 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.039 and stuff like that. And I stumbled upon this one 17 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.119 paper that I meant to like stick on my refrigerator 18 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.079 so i'd see it or something I forgot. I beat 19 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.520 you know, I'm a forgetful guy like that times. I 20 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.359 am in fact, man, And I read it. Come to 21 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.599 find out it was a summons for jury duty, and 22 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.760 I was like, wait the twenty eighth when is I 23 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:09.879 was like, oh that's today? 24 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.920 Oh man? So that was God. That was God. 25 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.879 Forcing me to go through that mail so that I 26 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.359 saw that, so that I was at the courthouse on time, 27 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:19.640 so I. 28 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.159 Didn't get a bench warned. That's what that was. 29 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.840 But beside the point, I've never been called for drury 30 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.920 duty before in my life. And I hope to god, 31 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.959 you know, I'm not even gonna finish that sentence, because 32 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.239 with my luck, I'll get another letter in the mail 33 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.799 in a month if I finished that sentiment. But yeah, y'all, 34 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.480 I don't know how many of you have ever been called. 35 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.920 For drury duty before. I didn't realize the process. 36 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.599 I dropped all the kids off to school, did my 37 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.359 thing this morning, booked it to the courthouse, got there 38 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.200 fifteen minutes prior, felt pretty good about myself. And I'm 39 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.959 thinking I shouldn't need to make afternoon arrangements. I should 40 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.280 be home by the time they off the bus. It's 41 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.519 not gonna be an all day thing. It should be 42 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.000 a you know, I should be done right probably lunchtime, 43 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.479 right after lunch, because today was just the selecting of 44 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.000 the jury. 45 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.039 This wasn't the case. 46 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.159 They're not nothing about the case has been discussed yet. 47 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.479 It was just selecting. I honestly didn't think it was 48 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.439 gonna take this long, y'all. 49 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.400 They had three panels, and I'm I don't know if 50 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.120 this is the same to every state, at least in 51 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.960 this state and in this parish, which y'all might call 52 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.400 it county, they had three different panels, each having probably 53 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.319 somewhere around twenty people on each panel. 54 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.439 And they were going through to select the twelve. 55 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.439 That were going to be on the jury, and they 56 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.960 called up all the names for group one, and they 57 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.240 called up all the names for group two. I was 58 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159 the last name called for group two. I was this 59 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.199 close to not even going into the room today and 60 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:00.000 just watch. Apparently HGTV is the only channel that legally 61 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.919 is allowed to be played in the courthouse for the 62 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.840 jurors because there's no way that that could possibly be 63 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.800 tied to something news related that could have something to. 64 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.919 Do with the case. It's it's ridiculous, but whatever. 65 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.599 I was watching these people remodel a home and whatever, 66 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.199 and I was trying to fight to stay awake. 67 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.479 They had free coffee, but it was trash. It was burnt, 68 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:20.039 you know how it is. 69 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.960 But anyway, I get called to the second panel and 70 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.560 they bring Panel one and two into the courtroom, okay, 71 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.319 And they bring up Panel one and they ask each 72 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.879 individual person right there in front of everybody, for God 73 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.919 and everybody, a series of questions. And I had again, 74 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.520 I've never been a part of something like this, so 75 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.120 I didn't know what was going on. Your name, where 76 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.280 you're from, how old you are, are you married, how 77 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.439 many kids do you have? You know what, what's your background, 78 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.639 what do you do for work? The basics, the pedigree information, 79 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.639 if you will. Then this side, the state versus the 80 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.000 defend the states lawyers gets up and paints a picture 81 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.680 for you and tells you these stories about how you know, 82 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.400 what is probable cause, what is beyond a shadow of 83 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.400 a reasonable doubt? 84 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:13.960 What? 85 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.600 And they break all these things down and they use 86 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.399 these examples that Okay, I see what you're going with this, 87 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.079 all right. Then the defendants lawyers get up and paint 88 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.279 the opposite picture, and they ask you about when you 89 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.560 say beyond a reasonable doubt, how reasonable is that doubt. 90 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.160 I'll give you an example, the one that they actually used. 91 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.560 So if I go to the hardware store and you 92 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.959 happen to be right behind me, and you see, am 93 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.720 I buggy or my cart or whatever you call it, 94 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.240 your shopping cart. I got a bunch of paint brushes, 95 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.920 I got different paints and primers and ceilants. I got 96 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.120 some rollers, and I got some canvas tarps and things 97 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:51.399 like that. 98 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.079 I got all this. 99 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.920 You could make a reasonable assumption that I am getting 100 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.439 ready to go paint something. That's a very reasonable conclusion 101 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.040 that you would make. 102 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:03.879 All right. 103 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.839 Then the other lawyers get up and say, well, you 104 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.879 could make that assumption, but how do you know that 105 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.079 you are not buying these materials for a painting company 106 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.319 to come into your home and do painting. And a 107 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:17.600 part of the deal is that you have to buy 108 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.279 the materials. In reality, you're not painting. You're buying these 109 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.680 things for someone else to paint. So beyond a reasonable doubt, 110 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.959 how reasonable are we talking? And it's like, okay, I 111 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.399 could already see where this is about to go. And 112 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.399 they're already starting the whole mental mind games. And they 113 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.879 interviewed and selected the fucking jury. They haven't even selected who's. 114 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.920 Gonna be on it. And I'm just like, okay, dude, 115 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480 all right, this is gonna be a long day. And 116 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.680 it was. It was very long. It was six o'clock 117 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.199 before I got out of there. 118 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.240 I got there at nine am, like, there's no reason, 119 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.480 there was no reason for any of this. And then yeah, 120 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.240 so many things, so many people from so many different 121 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.000 walks of life are on this board. I ended up 122 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.199 having lunch with a Catholic priest that happened to be 123 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.079 on the board with me, which he was a cool dude. 124 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.279 He was a cool dude, but like. 125 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:08.240 What are you thinking? 126 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.680 And everybody's like, oh, well, he's you know, he he'll 127 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.720 he's not gonna go for death penalty. He's not going 128 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.439 to go this and this this dude had no qualms 129 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.480 whatsoever about life or death penalty. 130 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.560 He was like, nah, I'm good. 131 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.959 So you don't think your occupation will have any bearing 132 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.319 on give you a bias on this today? 133 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.399 Nah, we're good. 134 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:32.720 It's like, okay, okay, Padre, I see you, I see 135 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:33.920 you out here in these streets. 136 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.959 But anyway, it was a oh it. 137 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.040 Was a wild morning, y'all. Anyway, end of end of 138 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.000 my personal rant. And let's get to the news. Oh God, 139 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.160 before we do, Samuel, please wait, waigh in on this. 140 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.480 With your colorful background, I could only imagine what you're about. 141 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:51.920 To say, and that in. 142 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.279 Based Catholic. 143 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:57.879 Oh he was based, dude. 144 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.959 So we finally found a Catholic that's that's worth his collar. 145 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.319 I'll say this, most of the Catholic priests in Louisiana 146 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.079 or about that smoke, I will just say this. 147 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.839 I'll send you a link to a video. Because they 148 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.879 asked a preacher like, oh, if you are about carrying, 149 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.639 he said, Luke chapter thirty three and twenty two, no 150 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.079 thirty eight, twenty two, and he used that, and I 151 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.519 tells you out there. And when Jesus was leaving, Yes Simony, 152 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.800 he asked Peter, do you have your source? And Peter 153 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.959 says I have too, and he says that's good enough 154 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.040 for me, big homie. And and the guy, the preacher 155 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.639 that the talk too looks like he is a retired pimp. 156 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.360 Dude looks like straight pimping. And they said, well are 157 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.879 you on? Are you on? The preacher and he said, 158 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.120 don't worry if I'm on. But he pulls up and 159 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.800 he shows that thing and he says, I carry you 160 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.519 thirty eight And it's Luke chapter thirty eight, verse twenty two, 161 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.720 that way that the Lord tells you can carry a 162 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.519 thirty eight or twenty two. And I'm just like that's. 163 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.839 Ridiculous but funny, but uh yeah, no, that's right after 164 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.639 Jesus told him, if you do not have a sword, 165 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.279 sell your cloak and buy one, which was crazy because 166 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.279 at that time the Jews were prohibited from having weapons, 167 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.439 like even the temple guards were using basically wooden weapons. 168 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:17.800 I think a few. 169 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.040 Of them were allowed under very strict guidelines to have 170 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.240 something like that. But yeah, if the Jews were caught 171 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:31.360 having steel blades at that time in in Judea, that would. 172 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:31.959 Have been their ass. 173 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.519 So the fact that your boys, like I got these 174 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.480 two swords in the time came is like that'll work, 175 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.879 And it's like where, where where did he just happen 176 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.200 to find these two swords. The Chosen television series did 177 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.000 a version of events that they believe might be how 178 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.759 they believe that Simon the Zelot actually brought those to 179 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.080 the Last Supper and all these things. 180 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.799 I don't I don't know, I don't know. 181 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:59.879 But out of all of them they said that all 182 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.799 says that there was a disciple that cut off the 183 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.399 ear of the servant when Jesus would getting a thing. 184 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.840 Then you have John says it was Peter. 185 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.960 Yeah, he is the one who cut it off, duined 186 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.559 him out John the Beloved, just without without even flinching. 187 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.480 But whatever, anyway, I love that passage. I am also 188 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.759 the belief that everybody should take their own personal security 189 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.039 into their own hands. And I believe that everybody should 190 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.519 be carrying, but also not just carry train with it, 191 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.360 know how to use it, know your own capabilities, don't 192 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.399 if you Okay, I personally know guys that can smoke 193 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.799 a steel target from five hundred yards with their pistol, 194 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.240 which if everybody, if anybody's ever shot a pistol with 195 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.360 any kind of competitive nature, that is insane. 196 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.960 But these dudes train with it enough to where they 197 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.360 can do that. 198 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.279 Now, I'm not saying that everybody who's carrying needs to 199 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.279 be that level of proficient with it, but I am 200 00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.320 saying that beyond a reasonable distance here, like even thirty feet, 201 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.559 thirty yards even yeah, I'll say thirty yards, you should 202 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.120 be able to hit a target nine out of ten 203 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.559 times and thirty yards if you're carrying that weapon, and 204 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.879 if you cannot, then maybe change your weapon or change 205 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.120 your training methods. 206 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.159 But anyway, Royce, I saw your hand raised, brother, what you. 207 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.320 Got, I was just gonna make a smart ass comment 208 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.720 about a reasonable doubt to where if you had a 209 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.639 woman who goes into a grocery store or just a 210 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.080 store in general, and gets a large cucuver, a roller, condoms, 211 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.600 and some lube, what the reasonable assumption. 212 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.120 Or doubt might be. 213 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.919 Is she cooking dinner for her significant other or is 214 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.519 she about to have a very fun time by herself. 215 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.120 You see, they give another example which also correct correct 216 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.200 as far as beyond a reasonable doubt and making assumptions 217 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:53.159 for sure. They gave another example if a person walked 218 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:57.039 in the room just now, so can we with an umbrella? 219 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.360 You could make an assumption that it's raining outside, But 220 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.000 that is only an assumption, right if you could if 221 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.519 you heard the thunder outside, and you could hear the 222 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.720 rain on the roof, and then this person walks in 223 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.559 the room, you could make a pretty accurate assumption. But 224 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.320 at that point it's still a witness. It's a it's 225 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.360 a it's a a thought. Until someone comes inside and says, 226 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.840 I just got soaked because it's raining outside. Now that's 227 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.480 a witness. That's a different level as far as this 228 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.840 goes right. Otherwise this person might just be carrying an 229 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.399 umbrella just in case, which some people do. And they 230 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.919 were walking from the parking lot into the courtroom and 231 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.320 for whatever reason, the sprinkler system went off on them. 232 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.840 They got soaked and wet, and it's not raining outside, 233 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.600 but you could have made a reasonable assumption that it 234 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.679 is now raining outside. But that's not the case. See, 235 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.519 It's there's all these different nuances and all of this shit. 236 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.279 And meanwhile, I'm like, yeah, nuances are literally what is 237 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.840 the make or break as far as the situation, Like 238 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.440 that's that's the whole point. And I think because I 239 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.720 said certain things like that, that's why I wasn't selected. 240 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.320 But I'm good with that. My god, this case, they're 241 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.960 saying they're hoping that this will be wrapped up by 242 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.120 Friday evening or Saturday at lunch. And I'm like, brother, brother, 243 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.519 I got shit to do. I can't be doing all this. 244 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.759 Y'all doing too much, too damn much. But anyway, anyway, 245 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.720 all right, good members of the retinue. I'm gonna go 246 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.279 ahead and share the screen at this time and to 247 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.720 everybody who is listening to this, and we'd like to 248 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.279 be a part of the Cajun Night Live every Wednesday 249 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.840 night at nine pm Central.

So look 261 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.639 a couple of big stories that are going on around 262 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.559 the world right now. We're gonna start off with this 263 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.240 one from the Financial Times. China's military says top general 264 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.080 undermines Jesuping's authority. 265 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.559 Now, depending on what source you're reading as far. 266 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.840 As what went down in old China Town, you might 267 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.679 get some different opinions. So the background of this, Jijuping 268 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:30.120 and your boy Jiang Yujia Yushia, damn it, Tony. 269 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:35.399 Helped me out. I had it. Juan Yo Shah Jiang Yosha. 270 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:40.720 Excuse me, Apparently they go way back. Their daddies fought 271 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:45.200 together in the Chinese Revolution. These two dudes were homies 272 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.120 as children, and your boy Jiang here, he apparently rose 273 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.399 to prominence with his military whenever they had the Sino 274 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.960 Vietnamese conflict. There was a border dispute between Vietnam and Cambodia. 275 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.759 Once upon a time, China sent troops in no big 276 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.320 you know, border pushes were made one way or another. 277 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.360 Each side lost, give or take about thirty k dudes, 278 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.919 and uh, your boy Jiang here had a pretty substantial 279 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:15.000 victory over a town and from that he was able 280 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.519 to pretty much catapult his career. And keep in mind, 281 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.159 him and your boy g go way back. When the 282 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.440 time came, he actually retired from service and was asked 283 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.559 specifically to be brought back in by Gi himself to 284 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.080 be essentially, and I'm it depends on the year you're looking. 285 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.759 At one point he was like the third in charge 286 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.600 of all of China's army. Number one would be G 287 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:42.440 and he was basically like right under him. But they 288 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.440 was like, you know, the if if we're gonna be 289 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.720 I'm trying to make a comparison to American titles here, 290 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.639 but like yet G would be president, underneath him would 291 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.000 be like a VP, and then there'd be this guy. 292 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.399 And then later on it kind of became more of 293 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.279 a there's G and then there's Jiang and so that, Yeah, 294 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.159 these two were these two were homies. And so some 295 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:09.000 are saying that he sold nuclear secrets to America. Some 296 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.120 are saying that he publicly undermines G's authority. Some are 297 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.399 saying that he wanted to retire and G wouldn't let him. 298 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.559 So he got a little flustered one day and was 299 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.440 spouting off of the mouth and she didn't like that. 300 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.399 So now he's in prison for the rest of his life. Well, listen, 301 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.720 I don't I don't know, I don't know all of 302 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.480 the situation here, but we're gonna start here, and I 303 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.320 got a video we're gonna play next that's gonna go 304 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.600 a little bit more in depth on this, because there's 305 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.360 also a conversation we had about corruption charges that were 306 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.720 going on in China, which is not crazy because if 307 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.279 we look back last year China's rocket program. I remember 308 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.840 that conversation where they were getting ready to do some 309 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.840 sort of a test launch and they couldn't because all 310 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.960 of their rocket fuel had been replaced with water, and 311 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.000 whoever was in charge of the rocket fuel had sold 312 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.759 it off to another country and another corruption case. It 313 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.080 was like this huge embarrassment for China because they already 314 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.399 have so many But like, I don't know, I don't 315 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.000 know if it was a corruption thing, I don't know, 316 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.440 if it was a nuclear secrets thing. 317 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:08.840 I don't know. 318 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.200 If it was a loud mouth he got drunk one 319 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.279 day and started talking shit. 320 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:14.200 I don't know. 321 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.399 But we're gonna learn about this together before we read Royce. 322 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.600 I see your hand, brother, what you got. 323 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.799 So if one would be considered good and one would 324 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.039 be considered bad, would that be the jing. 325 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.399 Zang y ding Yang. 326 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.919 Sorry, I like I couldn't unhear it. 327 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.240 You saw the pun.

And also keep in mind, up until like eighty 370 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.240 to ninety years ago, over in Japan, they thought the 371 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.720 emperor was literally a direct descendant of the Sun goddess. 372 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:13.519 Yeah. 373 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:21.000 Yeah, I say this on because I truly believe it. 374 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:24.920 Man the Asians that they's some of the most superstitious 375 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:25.880 people you'll ever meet. 376 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.240 Documents for sure. 377 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.000 Although it's also interesting which we're not going to talk 378 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.319 about tonight. We talked about this last week, but Japan 379 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.000 has started to rip apart their parliament. So that is 380 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.640 the thing that the current Prime minister is going through 381 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.319 is she was kind of talking about it last week Nah, 382 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:47.759 she's doing it, like for sure? 383 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.000 Yeah, does do you think that means we should start 384 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.759 getting the arsenal ready in case they want to fuck 385 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:56.680 with our boats again? 386 00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.759 I don't believe. I don't believe. 387 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.640 As of this moment, Japan has got a lot of 388 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.240 beef with China, which so does a lot of Asian countries. 389 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.599 Right now, they're they're on our side. 390 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.480 Nobody wants to be under Oli Ping like dude, can't 391 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.759 even No, nobody wants to be under Kong Flu Panda. 392 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.480 Well even if even if it's nothing, well it has 393 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.480 to do with g obviously, but even if it has 394 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.880 nothing to do with Taiwan. Japan has had their own 395 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.559 beef with China as far as uh airspace disputes and 396 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.640 water disputes and all these things. 397 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.480 So they hating each other since the dawn of time, dog. 398 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.039 Which is fair? 399 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:38.559 Like do you you have the Nan King is is 400 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:43.480 a here recent? Uh? Then you also have when the 401 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.920 Chinese went over it and tried to fuck up Japan 402 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.279 and everything like well back in the back in the day, Uh, 403 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.319 you also had where the Mongols try to take try 404 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.680 to uh take over. 405 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:01.640 Yeah, but they don't do good on boats. That's kind 406 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.319 of their whole thing. 407 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:08.680 Uh. The Japanese gods, the kami. Uh. They they got 408 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.359 destroyed by a typhoon because they went into on typhood 409 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.960 season and the Japanese even today still believe that the 410 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.440 kami protected them, which all kami means is the wind spirits. Uh. 411 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:25.759 It's also the most too well known is Leijen and Fusion, 412 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.160 which most people in the Western civilization would know through 413 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:35.279 Mortal Kombat. Lucy as Raiden and Fujin the thunder Brothers 414 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:39.519 no doubt Oneion the thunder Yeah. 415 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:43.240 Yeah, it's wild ship Man. So getting back on topic here. 416 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.279 So, China's military has accused this top general of undermining 417 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:50.519 the command authority of Jijuaping, suggesting that ensuring the powers 418 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.599 of Chinese leader is behind a probe of Jiang Yushia 419 00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:58.319 probably mispronounced one again announced on Saturday, rather than just 420 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.960 charges of corruption Xiang which is the vice or was 421 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.880 the vice chair of the Central Military Commission and Liu 422 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:11.960 help me out. Leo John Lee, Leo Jungle, another CMC 423 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.240 member and the People's Liberation Army's chief of staff had 424 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:20.160 severely trampled on and damaged the Chairman's responsibility system. The 425 00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.960 military's official newspaper, PLA Daily, said in an editorial published 426 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.839 on Sunday, under the Chinese Constitution, the Leader of the 427 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:31.000 State and Chinese Communist Party CCP chairs the CMC and 428 00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:35.240 his supreme decision making power over the military. This chairman 429 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.200 responsibility system quote unquote is designed to secure the party's 430 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:43.440 absolute control over the armed forces. The PLA's mouthpiece editorial 431 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:47.119 said the two generals had quote seriously abetted political and 432 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.079 corruption problems that affect the Communist Party's absolute leadership over 433 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.119 the military and endanger the foundation of the party rule. 434 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.880 Not trying to go on a big rant on that one, 435 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.720 but it's a communist authoritarian regime. You're gonna have corruption. 436 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.519 That's how this goes every time without failed. 437 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:08.160 But all right. 438 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.400 The comments highlight the crucial importance of the PLA for 439 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.000 Ji and his expected quest for a fourth term, which 440 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.119 the party would have to confirm at the next congress, 441 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.680 due in twenty twenty seven. Since the party sees power 442 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.759 through civil war and most of its founders fought in 443 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.279 those battles, it regards control over the armed forces as indispensable. 444 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.240 Well, of course it does. It's communism. 445 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.359 The military is the only organization in China that has 446 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.599 a history of defying party leaders, said Dennis Wilder, an 447 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.599 expert of Chinese military and former head of Chinese Analysis 448 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.599 in the CIA, citing criticism of Mao Zedong's policies by 449 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:46.920 then Defense Minister peg Duaii Okay in nineteen fifty nine 450 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.759 and in nineteen seventy one alleged coup attempt against Mao 451 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.960 by top general Limbial. Wilder said that after Xiang had 452 00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.720 won a fight with with h we Doong, the second 453 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.720 vi CMC chair and member of the rival faction who 454 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:05.400 was purged last year, did everybody forget that that Ji 455 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:09.599 pretty much purged all of his opposition, and now he's 456 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:13.240 purging possible opposition within the military. I think this is 457 00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.519 also very critical. Ji probably feared that Jang was all 458 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.400 powerful in the military. Presuming that she wants a fourth 459 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.880 term in office, He would have to fear that Jiang 460 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.519 could lead an effort within the party to oust him. 461 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.440 According to a Defense Ministry statement issued on Saturday, Xiang 462 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:36.759 and oh shit you said it earlier, Tony Lao, Leo, 463 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:44.240 Leo Leo Okay are Leo jug Li and Xiang got 464 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.720 Ja So Xiang and Leo are being investigated for serious 465 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.880 discipline violations and violations of the law Communist Party code 466 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.279 for corruption that is also commonly used in political purges. 467 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.680 The announcement shocked many observers. Xiang had been seen as 468 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.720 close as a close confidante to Xi, whose seniority and 469 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.119 combat experience made him crucial to the Chinese leader's implementation 470 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.160 of reforms to turn the PLA into a world class 471 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.200 force on par with the US military. That is a 472 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.880 that is a bold strategy. That is that's a bold 473 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.799 claim that they're trying to rival the United States. It's 474 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:24.119 not even close. The probe of Xiang and Leo has 475 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.599 hollowed out the CMC, leaving Xiang shing min, a political 476 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:31.480 commissioner or commissar in charge of investigating corruption, as the 477 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:37.559 only active member besides Xi. That's not good. But this 478 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.079 also lines up very perfectly with last year. People were 479 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.039 talking about how Xi actually two years ago, they were 480 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.440 talking about how Xi had basically made a cult to 481 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:51.480 personality around him. He has nothing but yes men on 482 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.400 all sides of him, because they are trying to gain 483 00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.440 as much favor as they can from him, because he 484 00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.160 is the supreme leader. A lot of people It's say 485 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:01.160 the same thing about. 486 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.440 Putin a lot of people. 487 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.599 For the record, if we're going to call a spade 488 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.920 a spade here, a lot of people would say the 489 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.799 same thing about Trump that he has also developed a 490 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.799 cult to personality around him, and he's surrounding himself with 491 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.519 yes men. That pretty much anything he says or thinks of, 492 00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.720 they think is like the greatest idea to ever exist ever. 493 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:22.559 If we're gonna keep it one hunter, We're gonna keep 494 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:24.720 it one thou Wow. So let's get back into it. 495 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.039 So Lyle Morris, an expert on the PLA at the 496 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:32.039 Asia Society Policy Institute, said references to violations of the 497 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.920 chairman responsibility system suggested that Jiang Yusha Yujia. 498 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.720 You Ujha. 499 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.000 Dan Yoshia damn. 500 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:46.440 It Jiang yoshah had too much power independent of G himself, 501 00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:49.799 which was a real fear of G. The PLA and 502 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:54.119 G have emphasized the chairman responsibility system in recent years 503 00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:57.400 and the central pennant or tenet of PLA discipline, so 504 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:00.680 highlighting such a violation suggests that Jen was out of 505 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.680 step with Ji's chain of command. James char an assistant 506 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.359 professor at Singapore's Singapore's s. Rajaratnam School for International Studies, 507 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.079 who has been tracking G's PLA purchase for a decade, 508 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.759 said quote, I very much doubt that Jang or anyone 509 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.400 else in the regime would have had the temerity to 510 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.119 engage in open confrontation against Jijiping, And I gotta be honest, 511 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.960 I agree with that. I don't know to what level 512 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.480 this actually went down. I have a really hard time 513 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.400 believing that the top general Ji's boy from when they 514 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:42.039 were when they were babies, essentially decided that he was 515 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:44.519 going to lead a military coup against him. But that 516 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.319 was the first claims that we heard, right, the first 517 00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:47.839 things that we heard coming out of China was that 518 00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.720 there was a coup attempt against g Hell. I didn't 519 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.359 really do much digging into it, but I had heard it. 520 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:53.799 I was just like, what the hell is going on? 521 00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:57.279 But as more things came to light, we still don't 522 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.000 know much. We know some things. We know that Jang 523 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.400 is in jail, probably for the rest of his life. 524 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.480 I don't I don't know if the death penalty is 525 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:09.079 going to be his future or what. But I have 526 00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.880 a hard time believing that he was going to try 527 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.519 to mobilize the pla against Xi. 528 00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:17.160 I don't see it. 529 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:20.440 I think it's way more likely that perhaps the corruption 530 00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:26.079 conversation is real. Perhaps perhaps the selling of nuclear secrets 531 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:27.200 to America was real. 532 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.920 But I don't I can't verify that. 533 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.960 That's completely my own speculation here, so let's let's keep 534 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.119 reading here. But he added, Jiang's fall could be related 535 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.160 to factional politics and mountain topism, a habit of regional 536 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.519 leaders to build their own power bases which has plagued 537 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.480 the party since. 538 00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:47.640 Its guerrilla days. 539 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:53.319 Yeah, yeah, I believe that the Jiangshi Gang headed by Jiang, 540 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.240 and the Fujian Click, which to which he and other 541 00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.359 now purge members belonged, were rivals. 542 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.200 Within the CMC, So they. 543 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.640 Had clicks, the Fujian Click and the shang Xi Gang. 544 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.240 I gotta be honest, I had never heard of these, 545 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.519 But when Xi found out that these existed, he's been 546 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.839 again on a bit of a purging streak. It does 547 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.799 not make sense that Xi only removed the leader of 548 00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:23.599 one group but not the other. What he has now 549 00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.759 done helps ensure no particular faction grows too powerful, said charm. 550 00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.680 Jiang should have seen this day coming, he added, pointing 551 00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.240 to a previous wave of probes into corruption in the 552 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:39.680 PLA's armed development and procurement systems, which Xiang had headed 553 00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:45.799 until twenty seventeen. Jia Ian Chung, Associate professor for political 554 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.000 science at the National University of Singapore, said that while 555 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.880 Jiang's arrest sparked speculation about plots against Ji, there was 556 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.759 no cooperating evidence that he was under any imminent threat. 557 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.359 It was clear that Xi continues to have significant reach 558 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.720 and remains unopposed or at least impossible to oppose within 559 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.440 the system. This extends to Prince Ling's formerly seen as 560 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:13.079 untouchable and people reputed to be close with him. One 561 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:16.599 way to try to understand how disruptive the Jiang arrests 562 00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.839 might be to the Chinese system would be to see 563 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:21.920 whether it caused delays two important meetings and the official 564 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.400 agenda in the coming weeks. 565 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:25.440 Morris, who we heard a quote. 566 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.319 From earlier, said the fact that g undertook such a 567 00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.440 dramatic move suggested that he had the full support of 568 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.279 the party and was confident he had consolidated power over 569 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:34.960 the military. 570 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:37.920 It's not a sign of weakness but strength for Gi, 571 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:42.720 said Morris. There will presumably, presumably be backlash from Xiang's 572 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:46.319 power base against Gi. In some eras of Chinese history, 573 00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.680 this will lead to coup concerns, but Ji felt confident 574 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.359 in his grip on power to withstand such backlash. 575 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.680 I do believe that's a real thing. And again I 576 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.359 don't believe as of this moment. It's very subject to 577 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.119 change as more things come out. I don't believe that 578 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:09.519 Jang had coup attempt on his mind. Possibly make a 579 00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:11.519 little make some dollars on the way out the door. 580 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:16.519 He's he's in his seventies, like he's he's long wanted 581 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:18.519 to retire and get out of this whole thing. He 582 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:22.960 had retired already and got called from retirement. This is 583 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.400 a position that he didn't want to die in. Maybe 584 00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:26.759 he just wanted to live out the rest of his 585 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.160 life and in actual comfort and ease. So maybe a 586 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.759 corruption situation, Maybe he's selling of information. 587 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:33.799 I don't know. 588 00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:37.559 I don't as of this moment, believe that your boy 589 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:43.680 was trying to oust Gi. But anyway, so this is 590 00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:49.319 from the what is this publication here? This is says 591 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.200 the real reason behind Ji's purge. This is the arptites 592 00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.799 China's top general accused of leaking secrets. We're gonna hear 593 00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.599 from this one. Now, let's learn together. 594 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.920 Y'all out of Beijing. 595 00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.759 China's senior is from Newsmas There we go. 596 00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.279 Post general has reportedly been detained by investigators after being 597 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:11.319 accused of leaking critical information about the regime's nuclear weapons 598 00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:14.519 program to the US. He's also been accused of corruption 599 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:18.319 and at least one example for accepting bribes in exchange 600 00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.000 for promoting an officer to defense minister. 601 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.839 The general in question is seventy five year old Young Yushi'a. 602 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.200 All Right was widely viewed as one of China's leaders 603 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:33.079 to Jijimping's most trusted adversaries or advisors, excuse me their fathers. 604 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.640 They fought Sabi side during the Chinese Civil War that 605 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.000 saw Mao Zebas Communist forces seize power nineteen forty nine. 606 00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:41.720 He could now face the death penalty. 607 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.200 News comes in the wake of a wider crackdown on 608 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.839 corruption and party of disloyalty. Over the past two and 609 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.839 a half years, more than fifty senior military officers and 610 00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:54.480 defense industry executives have either been investigated or removed from office. 611 00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:57.599 China's top command body for the People's Liberation Army. The 612 00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.559 Chinese Central Military Commissions also undergone a dramatic purge over 613 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.119 the last few years. The commission usually has seven members, however, 614 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.440 now only to remain one of them is Jijinping himself. 615 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.240 Okay, so the question what does it all mean? Let's 616 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.359 ask open source analyst Ryan McBeth, who's been tracking the 617 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.200 story over the weekend, also with US national security correspondent 618 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:23.400 at the Washington Times, Bill Gertz. Gentlemen, Welcome, Ryan. I'm 619 00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:25.200 going to start with you here. What does it all mean? 620 00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:30.240 Well, this is actually very common for China. They tend 621 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.720 to purge their leaders and then bring them back later 622 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:37.720 after they've been reformed. Jijiong Shun, who was President Jijingping's father, 623 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:41.079 he was purged and enjoyed political wilderness for about sixteen 624 00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.839 years before he was rehabilitated in nineteen seventy. So I 625 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.119 believe what this means is that President Jijingping is trying 626 00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.680 to consolidate power, and they normally use charges of corruption 627 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:53.240 in order to do that. 628 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:56.519 Bill, is this about Jijiping getting more power? To Ryan's 629 00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:59.680 point here, drifting closer and closer maybe towards you know, 630 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:01.240 a kind of a dictatorship. 631 00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:02.880 Yeah. 632 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:07.880 I think what's behind the purge of John Yoshah is 633 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:11.239 that he's getting There's two things. One, it could be 634 00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:16.079 legitimate corruption. He's been linked to the leak of nuclear secrets, 635 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.639 which is very A lot of analysts are skeptical of that, 636 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.480 saying the Chinese would never put that out, but it 637 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:26.559 was probably part of the narrative to discredit General John. 638 00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:30.639 The other reason is all of these purges could be 639 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.119 to build a more competent military leadership. For example, they 640 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.440 Shijin Ping may have thought that General Jean was not 641 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.000 confident enough to do the action that he wants, and 642 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.880 that action, of course, is the most immediate threat, is 643 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:48.880 going after Taiwan. They've said that they're going to either 644 00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.760 take action against Taiwan by twenty twenty seven, which is 645 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:53.960 a year from now. 646 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.679 What should the United States take away from this either 647 00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:03.599 the Department of War, our national security, even thinking of tariffs. 648 00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.880 How does all of this work and hang together? 649 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.239 Ryan Oh I would say that kind of the first 650 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.039 thing that we need to think about is that corrupt 651 00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.519 doesn't necessarily mean incompetent. 652 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:17.840 There are certainly generals who might. 653 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.639 Be incompetent that they want to get rid of genuinely incompetent. 654 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:25.559 But in China it is somewhat, I want to say expected, 655 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.280 But it is not abnormal to take a little bit 656 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.239 of money when you choose a certain vendor for a 657 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.159 weapons system that you were going to choose anyway. That 658 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.639 is expected. The kind of incompetence they hate is promoting 659 00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:42.559 people for money. That's something they go after like bulldogs. 660 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.519 So I think that the thing the United States need 661 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.199 to take away here is that China is getting more 662 00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:52.039 and more serious about professionalizing its military, and with twenty 663 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.960 twenty seven on the horizon, that's something we really need 664 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.519 to think about. 665 00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.000 Bill sam question to you, how should we be viewing this? 666 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.000 Well, you know, my view is that China poses the 667 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:07.119 most serious existential threat that the country is facing. They're 668 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:11.840 on the march ideologically and physically and militarily, and we 669 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.760 have got to take a greater position on that. The 670 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.920 new National Defense Strategy just came out, and it calls 671 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:23.800 for greater accommodation with China. It's basically based on President 672 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:25.880 Trump's desire to make a trade deal. 673 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.599 With Chi Jinping. 674 00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:31.599 My view is it's what Reagan said about the Cold 675 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:33.119 War against the Soviet Union. 676 00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:33.639 He said. 677 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.880 My view is simple, we win, they lose. We need 678 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:43.639 to take a much harder line on communist China. 679 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.800 Go ahead, Ryan, you know I. 680 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.440 Ronald Reagan is an excellent example of this. It is 681 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.960 really a zero sum game because if China takes Taiwan, 682 00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.960 the device I'm using right now to talk to you guys, 683 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:01.039 that goes away. 684 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.159 Yeah, so much of that. 685 00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:07.000 Of our chips are made in Taiwan, and uh if 686 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:09.920 it's not something we can we can get to that 687 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.239 level of internal production that quickly. Uh So your other 688 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:16.719 guest is absolutely right. 689 00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:19.679 Okay, gott to leave it there, Ryan Bell, good to 690 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:20.599 see it. 691 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.079 Okay, So let's talk about this a little bit deeper, 692 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.960 shall we. You know, Tony, I'm curious what your take 693 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.519 is on this one. I don't, as of this moment, 694 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:36.599 believe that Xiang sold nuclear secrets, right, especially with China 695 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.199 leading the world as far as the fission conversation is concerned. 696 00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:42.719 I think that, yeah, that might be trumped up stories 697 00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.119 to try to make it look like he was even 698 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.599 like like the Chinese Communist Party told China proper that 699 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.440 that is a portion of this to make him seem 700 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.440 like even more of a bad guy, but I don't 701 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.719 really believe that he would have done something like that. 702 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:01.360 He's been a loyal party member for his entire life. 703 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:03.679 So what was your take on this? 704 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.800 Yeah, I would agree it's probably selective enforcement. And the 705 00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.320 whole nuclear angle doesn't make much sense to me. They 706 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.360 have enough nuclear capability in terms of weaponry, and so 707 00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.519 does the US. The US is probably not looking to 708 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.840 buy any nuclear secrets from China. What do they know 709 00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:23.239 that our people don't know. I just maybe there's something, 710 00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:27.440 but I doubt it. Another thing is China. You know, 711 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:29.119 it may be a one party state, but there is 712 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.360 a hell of a lot of factionalism within the party. 713 00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:33.519 It really reminds me of the Catholic Church. 714 00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:34.519 It's huge. 715 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.360 It makes a big show of being talking about unity, 716 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.320 but underneath the surface, there's actually a lot of factionalism, 717 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.800 and there has been since the days of Mao So 718 00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:48.159 Dung Shoping was also ostracized for a while but later rehabilitated, 719 00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:53.079 and he was probably the best resident they've had, even 720 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.199 though the title president didn't exist back then. They've reorganized 721 00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:59.920 the way they do leadership a lot, and for some reason, 722 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:04.519 Communists really shy away in general from having somebody labeled 723 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.639 president or a king like figure. That's why Stalin was 724 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:11.119 just the general secretary. He was kind of the lowest, 725 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.320 you know, one of the lower ranking titled guys, but 726 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.119 he kind of aggregated power to himself. That's maybe a 727 00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.519 bit of a tangent. I really loved how the article 728 00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.800 you read from the Financial Times brought up Biao. He's 729 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.400 probably the best analog for this. And there was this, 730 00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.320 you know, fascinating story from nineteen seventy one where I 731 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.639 don't think he was planning to enact a coup, but 732 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:37.960 his wife was trying to make a coup happen, and 733 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:40.559 she didn't even tell him about it, and then one 734 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:44.239 day she rouses him. It's like, because they got discovered, 735 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:46.760 hurry yet we got to get on a plane that's 736 00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.760 flying to the Soviet Union right away. And then the 737 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.760 plane didn't have enough fuel in it and it crashed 738 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.719 in Mongolia. That's the Linn Piao incident. 739 00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.519 It didn't have enough fuel and it crashed in Damn. 740 00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.960 That sounds very similar to a situation with Putin in 741 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.079 the Wagner Head a couple of years ago. 742 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:14.239 Oh yeah, pregosion. Yeah yeah, Well, anyway, yeah, I'd never 743 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:18.199 heard of this guy until just today. But yeah, thank 744 00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:20.960 you for bringing this story to my attention and for 745 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.000 bringing to everyone's attention. I don't think I have much 746 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:25.079 else to say, so thanks. 747 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:28.360 Well, I'm also curious about this too now. So China 748 00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:31.360 has been very open and honest. Well I'm not gonna 749 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:34.559 say honest, because it's very possible that this is uh 750 00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.599 to dissuade people from what's actually going on. But they 751 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:40.599 are saying that they are planning to invade Taiwan in 752 00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:45.440 twenty twenty seven. Now some analysts are suggesting that this move, 753 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.760 this situation right now might push that date forward into 754 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.519 this year. Reason why is because if you look at 755 00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:55.880 how China's military is set up, Yes, they have a 756 00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.960 rank and file structure, but the way they actually it's 757 00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:02.639 top down leadership. 758 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:03.199 Right. 759 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:06.840 So, in the United States military, if you were to 760 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.920 take out one of our four star generals, we have 761 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.119 another general that will fill that slot, and the one 762 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.079 right below him could fill that slot, the one right 763 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.360 below that guy could fill that dude's position, and down 764 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.599 the line all the way to the lowest private we 765 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.840 have a very small unit leadership all the way up 766 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:26.639 to the big picture in China, they don't necessarily have that. 767 00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:28.320 It comes from the top and it goes all the 768 00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:31.079 way down to the lowest private A lot of their 769 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:36.199 leadership on the big picture stuff is they basically cap 770 00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.800 their leadership structure at the knees right. So some are 771 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.679 saying that now that their top military brass has been removed, 772 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.079 they don't have a viable person to put in that 773 00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:50.559 position right now. I've heard a couple of names get 774 00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.480 thrown out, But when you look at their track record 775 00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.639 as individuals, I'm not saying that they couldn't do it. 776 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.000 I'm saying they're not as they don't have the experience 777 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:03.800 and such your boy Jiang did. So some are suggesting 778 00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.320 that because of this, they might be a little more 779 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.280 quick to the trigger, if you will, to make the 780 00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:13.159 move into Taiwan, and some are saying that they're going 781 00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.199 to try to make this push in twenty twenty six. 782 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.480 I personally don't believe that. I don't believe that that 783 00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:21.159 would suit them whatsoever. I think, if anything, that would 784 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:24.880 screw them in the long run. But with all of 785 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:27.480 what you know about this area of the world, what 786 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:28.400 is your hot take? 787 00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.360 Well, I should get a polymarket, so I can bet 788 00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:35.320 against any Chinese invasion of Taiwan this year or next year. 789 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.400 I'm just pretty sure it won't happen. That whole quote 790 00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:41.360 about how and I did hear it in that Newsmax 791 00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:44.159 piece that they're going to invade Taiwan in twenty twenty 792 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.559 seven or they're very likely too, or they're planning too, 793 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:49.000 or something like that. I really doubt it. I would 794 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.559 want to hear who exactly said that and what the 795 00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:55.880 context was, because I have heard similarly, Joe Biden claimed 796 00:42:56.000 --> 00:43:01.119 that Vladimir Putin said that polland is next. And my 797 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.840 father in law has argued about this with me because 798 00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.039 he's a big Putin hater. And I said, okay, just 799 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.480 show me the quote, and then he said, I'll get 800 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:11.360 it back to you later. And we've had this conversation 801 00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:13.039 like three or four times, and he finally told me 802 00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:14.559 last time I was at his house, I got it 803 00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.480 on the computer. I'll show it to you after we're 804 00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:18.719 done here in the kitchen, and that he never did. 805 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:22.719 And I'm pretty sure that no, this was somebody else 806 00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:27.400 and talking out of his ass, So I really doubt. 807 00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.039 I mean, I could bet money. I would bet money 808 00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.239 that Taiwan is not going to be invaded in the 809 00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:34.920 next two or three years. 810 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:39.119 Do you think they will get invaded eventually? No? 811 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.880 No, I well, anything could happen, obviously, but I bet no, 812 00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:47.280 they will not be invaded in the next hundred years. 813 00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.400 I would agree with that, or at least if for 814 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:54.599 no other reason. Right, Why America cares so much about 815 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.440 Taiwan is the example that Ryan macbeth had said, ninety 816 00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.679 percent of our chips are made, or at least the 817 00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:05.119 larger components of them, are made in Taiwan. If China 818 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:09.400 takes that over, we don't have most of our technology anymore, 819 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.159 at least not to the level that we do now, 820 00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:14.840 because that would be a massive stranglehold that they could now. 821 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:18.000 I mean just cell phones and laptops and like little 822 00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:21.880 leisurely things. I mean even the big names, right, even 823 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.559 the big stuff that the government uses. Their chips are 824 00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:27.360 made in Taiwan. So I think that America has a 825 00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:32.599 real vested interest in Taiwan remaining independent. I don't believe 826 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:35.440 that the CCP really wants that smoke. They do a 827 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:38.360 lot of saber rattling. I don't think that that's actually 828 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:39.880 something that they really want to do. 829 00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:43.679 I'm with you. I could be wrong. 830 00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:46.679 It's very possible that she decides to know, what fuck it, 831 00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:48.239 we're gonna do it live and just sends it. 832 00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:50.159 But I just I got. 833 00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.760 A hard time hedging my bets in that direction, especially 834 00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:55.880 with the amount of manpower that they would lose in 835 00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:01.159 that fight, even in the initial push. It would be catastrophic, 836 00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:03.239 and I don't think he actually wants that much of 837 00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:04.119 a loss of life. 838 00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.320 Yeah, me too. And I think that they've been patient 839 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.199 a long time and they're going to continue to be patient. 840 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:16.119 And there's some Taiwan Chinese who really hate the Communist Party, 841 00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:18.880 but I have the sense that that sentiment has actually 842 00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:23.440 gone weaker and weaker with each passing decade. Now the 843 00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:27.840 Kuomintangu is actually in favor of more relations with Mainland 844 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:30.920 China than one of their competing parties. I forget the 845 00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.719 political parties over there. There's like seven of them in Taiwan, 846 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:36.760 and some of them are more pro China and some 847 00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:40.199 of them are more anti mainland China. In the AMT 848 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.880 surprisingly that was Chuan Kai Shak's party, and they're one 849 00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:48.320 of the more pro mainland parties in Taiwan now, So 850 00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.360 I think they will just slowly build up more and 851 00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:57.119 more relations, and you know, the veneer of autonomy will 852 00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.800 just slowly, slowly go away. Because among the Chinese people, 853 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.400 maybe I know it's going to sound racist to say, 854 00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:06.199 but maybe it's like genetic. They feel this strong sense 855 00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:11.000 of unity and unification and how when they're separated too much, 856 00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:13.599 bad things happen. So they want to be one country. 857 00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.920 It's weird, but you know, I've talked to enough Chinese 858 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:21.119 people that's a very powerful sentiment. Even my wife's family 859 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.519 that's from you know, mainland China and then moved. They 860 00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:28.599 were from Nanjing in the early thirties, and they got 861 00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:31.280 out of town when the Japanese invaded in thirty seven, 862 00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.440 went to chung Qing, lived there until nineteen forty nine, 863 00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:39.719 and moved to Taiwan. And like my wife's grandmother is 864 00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:43.639 more pro mainland China. Her grandfather passed away already. He 865 00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:49.480 was way way more anti communist. But this whole like 866 00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:52.440 over arching belief that well, communism is just a recent 867 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.760 thing and our civilization is like three or four thousand 868 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.800 years old, and we really should be one people is 869 00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.280 still a pretty powerful feeling among all of them. 870 00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:05.320 That's fair that the sentiment could absolutely be there. 871 00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:09.239 But again, as far as the communism conversation is concerned, yeah, 872 00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:11.760 it's relatively recent as far as human history is concerned, 873 00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.840 for sure. But I feel like if China would stop 874 00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.480 being communists hypothetically, I feel like a lot of the 875 00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:24.480 beef would stop. Although I say that, I say that 876 00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:25.760 that wasn't the case of Russia. 877 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:28.960 Certainly was in the case of Russia, because. 878 00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:31.679 As soon as the Soviet Union fell, all that beef 879 00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:33.800 should have stopped. They should have been invited into NATO, 880 00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:35.719 they should have been brought into the Fold and all 881 00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:36.280 the things. 882 00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.840 But that that show didn't happen. So I don't know. 883 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:43.960 Yeah, I think that's all I gotta say. 884 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.440 Fair enough, fair enough. I appreciate your input. Brother. 885 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:49.880 As we were talking about Taiwan, the yoked Yid, our 886 00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.079 resident Jewish correspondent, actually sent this article, which I thought 887 00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.639 was pretty awesome. So this tall building, this iconic landmark 888 00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:03.440 in in one, was apparently just climbed by a dude. 889 00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:04.000 This is sick. 890 00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:06.360 So the Taipei one oh one is a five hundred 891 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.360 and eight meter one hundred and one story tower with 892 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.360 a unique profile representing a blossoming flower that signifies financial 893 00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:18.159 richness and everlasting vitality. The building design also incorporates the 894 00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:27.440 number eight, which cannot which can connos connotes? Okay, prosperity, yes, connotes. 895 00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.360 They could just say which signifies or symbolizes, but whatever, 896 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:35.239 prosperity in Chinese culture and references traditional bamboo construction. It 897 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:37.119 was the tallest building in the world from two thousand 898 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:39.280 and four to twenty ten. Yeah, I think the British 899 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:42.719 khaliphas what actually took that one out. We provided structural 900 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.920 design concepts, blah blah blah bop all the things. But yeah, 901 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:48.239 so it doesn't say it in this article, but you're 902 00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:49.440 saying that a due climbed that. 903 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:56.519 Yeah, that's at the articles and send uh this is 904 00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:00.519 the article you sent me, man? Was it was? 905 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.000 This is an article is about the building design, which 906 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:06.639 is impressive. But he had like suction cups and climbed 907 00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:07.119 this building. 908 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.400 No, No, not at all, not at all? 909 00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:14.679 What free hand?

Let me see this article 915 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:32.840 sent yeah from the BBC. 916 00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.920 Yes, oh man, okay, all right, let me let me 917 00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:38.599 bring that over. 918 00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:41.239 Yeah, okay, cool. 919 00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:46.679 So wow, this climber actually climbed that building like a 920 00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:51.480 complete boss. Okay, So climber Alex Honold Honauld. 921 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:54.559 I don't know. I want to put respect on Honold, 922 00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:55.840 but he's also a psycho. 923 00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:58.320 So I mean, whatever scales one hundred and one floor 924 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:03.719 skyscraper without safe and of course they made it to 925 00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.079 where I can't read the article without subscribing. 926 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.440 Oh dude, I'll try to find another one. 927 00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:12.880 There's so hold on, just search for it on your end. 928 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:14.519 I promise you you'll be able to find article. 929 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:17.440 Probably. Let me see if I could play the video 930 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.320 before it does that again. Nope, it's not gonna let 931 00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:24.440 me damn. Anyway, it's whatever. It's cool. This climber, Alex Hanald, 932 00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:26.920 actually free hand climbed this thing. 933 00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:28.159 This happened with this week. 934 00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:31.000 Like four days ago, five days ago. 935 00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:32.719 Now, oh my god. 936 00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:37.719 Okay, that's that's impressive and psychotic all at the same time, 937 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:41.719 and I respect it, you know. Okay, moving on in 938 00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:44.239 the conversation here, this is going to NPR. Yes, I 939 00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.920 understand it's MPR, but this is also kind of funny 940 00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.440 in my opinion. NATO chief wishes good luck to those 941 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.840 who think Europe can defend itself without the United States's help. 942 00:50:56.800 --> 00:50:59.679 Oh my god, that's not a true statement. This is 943 00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:02.760 from January of this year. From January twenty seventh of 944 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:06.960 this year, so from Brussels. NATO Secretary General Mark Root 945 00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:11.079 insisted Monday that Europe is incapable of defending itself without 946 00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:14.440 the US military support and would have to. It would 947 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.360 have to more than double current military spending targets. 948 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:17.800 To be able to do so. 949 00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:22.039 That is a bold assessment to say that the entirety 950 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:26.400 of the continent, not one country, the entirety of the continent, 951 00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.159 could double their defense spending and possibly stand a chance. 952 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:35.559 That's that's funny. That's funny. But anyway, if anyone thinks 953 00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.199 here this is a direct quote from him. By the way, 954 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:40.039 the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend 955 00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:43.559 itself without the US. Keep on dreaming, you can't. Root 956 00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:46.800 told EU lawmakers and Brussels Europe in the United States 957 00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:51.039 quote need each other. He said, yeah, I agree, fully agree. 958 00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:54.840 Tensions are festering within NATO over President Trump's renewed threats 959 00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:57.880 in recent weeks to annex Greenland, which is a semi 960 00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.320 autonomous territory of NATO allied Denmark. Trump also said that 961 00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:05.159 he was slapping new tariffs on Greenland's European backers, but 962 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:08.719 later dropped his threats after a quote unquote framework for 963 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.599 a deal over the mineral rich island was reached with 964 00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:14.800 ROOTS help. Few details of the agreement have emerged. The 965 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:18.639 thirty two nation military Organization, which redro MAA NATO, is 966 00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:21.480 bound together by a mutual defense clause, Article five of 967 00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.920 NATO's founding Washington Treaty, which commits every country to come 968 00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:28.599 to the defense of an ally whose territory is under threat. 969 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.920 At NATO's summit in the Hague in July, European allies, 970 00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:36.519 with the exception of Spain plus Canada, agreed to Trump's 971 00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.440 demand that they invest the same percentage of their economic 972 00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.119 output on defense as the United States within a decade. 973 00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.119 Yet that was a big deal. That was a big deal. 974 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:48.119 So up until then it was understood that every country 975 00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.119 in NATO had to spend two percent of their GDP, 976 00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.840 and for the record, half of them couldn't even make 977 00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:57.599 that type of pledge. Now they all have pledged to 978 00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:01.480 spend three point five percent of the GDP on core 979 00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:04.599 defense and another one point five percent of their GDP 980 00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:08.599 on security related infrastructure, a total of five percent by 981 00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:12.519 twenty thirty five, which I understand that a lot of 982 00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.760 people hate it because Trump did it, and everything Trump does. 983 00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:16.960 Is a mile I get it. 984 00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.679 I get it fine, Okay, Trump arrangements and drums real 985 00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:20.400 on both sides. 986 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.000 Of the aisle, very skewed right. 987 00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:27.800 However, I for one am a massive supporter of American 988 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:31.719 allies stepping up to the plate and spending the money 989 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:36.159 on infrastructure and their actual proper military that they haven't 990 00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:37.639 done in decades. 991 00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:40.679 I'm here for it. I like it. And it's not 992 00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:42.960 even because of Russia. It's not because of China. 993 00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:46.000 I've the same way I put it like this, the 994 00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:48.280 same way that I believe that every person should be 995 00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:51.920 carrying a weapon at all times is the same energy 996 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.000 I have to say that every country should have a 997 00:53:55.079 --> 00:54:00.599 formidable military, especially our allies. That's that's like, that's a 998 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.000 crazy thing to be considered a hot take. But sure, 999 00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:06.599 there we are and NATO summit in the Hague, are 1000 00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:07.360 I read that one. 1001 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:09.280 If you really want to. 1002 00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:12.039 Go it alone, Ruth said, forget that you can get 1003 00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:14.800 there with five percent, it will be ten percent. 1004 00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:17.960 You have to build up your own nuclear capability. 1005 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:21.079 That costs billions and billions of euros, which it does. 1006 00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:25.199 France has led calls for Europe to build its strategic autonomy, 1007 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.719 and supports for its stance has grown since Trump's administration 1008 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:32.440 warned last last year rather that its security priorities lie 1009 00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:36.400 elsewhere and that the Europeans would have to fin for themselves. 1010 00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:37.480 Because that was the thing. 1011 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:41.519 Trump threatened to pull out of NATO if the European 1012 00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:45.880 countries didn't stand correct, and they realized, like uh oh 1013 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.960 uh oh, if somebody attacked a European country, hypothetically Russia, 1014 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:55.800 but not necessarily, not necessarily, if a sovereign nation was 1015 00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:59.440 to attack a European country, what could they actually do. 1016 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:03.840 There's only a handful of countries that are a part 1017 00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:07.119 of it that could possibly defend their own territory. And 1018 00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:11.559 I didn't mean take the offensive approach, I mean specifically defend. 1019 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.119 And the only way they could do so is because 1020 00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:18.559 they have built their entire military structure on defense, zero offense, 1021 00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:21.320 except for like their special forces, right which like, okay, 1022 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.760 give you an example, Denmark, they sent in Norway. As 1023 00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:28.719 a matter of fact, I met dudes from the Norwegian 1024 00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.320 military while I was in the Marines. The Norwegian military 1025 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:37.079 is set up for defensive, to protect their borders, their airspace, 1026 00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.719 their water, all these things. The only groups that were 1027 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:45.199 ever sent to Afghanistan, to Iraq, or to any warfront 1028 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:49.320 were their special forces. And when you look at the 1029 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.199 rest of the NATO countries that had militaries, the only 1030 00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:56.119 ones that have seen combat in the last few decades 1031 00:55:56.920 --> 00:55:59.559 have been special forces guys, because the rest of the 1032 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:03.199 European Union, or excuse me, the rest of NATO's defenses 1033 00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:08.239 has specifically been defense. Even Britain, who had an offensive unit. Fuck, 1034 00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:12.199 the British Marines were doing some gangster shit in Afghanistan 1035 00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:14.920 at one point in time, but they have been getting 1036 00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:18.000 their funding cut so much that they couldn't afford to 1037 00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:21.320 take those those deployments anymore. Hell, they're having to cut 1038 00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:24.760 down on whole air wings, whole ships are being decommissioned 1039 00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:28.280 and shit. So yeah, I for one am a massive 1040 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:31.400 supporter of the European nations stepping up to the plate 1041 00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:35.559 and protecting themselves. I'm here for it, let's see. Continuing 1042 00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:38.960 on route, told the lawmakers that without the United States, 1043 00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:42.840 Europe would lose the ultimate guaranteur of our freedom, which 1044 00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:44.519 is the US nuclear umbrella. 1045 00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:47.559 So hey, good luck. Shout out to Mark. 1046 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:52.480 Root for being an actual, level headed human being running NATO. 1047 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:57.280 So now we're gonna step away from the international conversation. 1048 00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:58.760 And go a little closer to home here. 1049 00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:02.159 We talked about this guy a couple weeks ago, the 1050 00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:06.840 ex Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, and he went from being 1051 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:12.480 a Olympic snowboarder to being a kingpin for the Cinaloa cartel. 1052 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:18.599 How somebody goes from you know, snowboarding on the snow 1053 00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:21.960 to selling the snow I'll never understand, but whatever, when 1054 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.400 the money's right, I guess right. So he has been 1055 00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:27.360 living in Mexico working directly for the Cineloa cartel for 1056 00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:30.880 a hot minute here, and he just got arrested. He 1057 00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:34.880 pled not guilty to running drug smuggling ring, which that's 1058 00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:37.159 not gonna go well for him. Sam, your hands raised. 1059 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:37.559 What's up? 1060 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:44.239 Lived by the snow, die by the snow? I mean, yeah, 1061 00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:44.760 it's a thing. 1062 00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:47.320 It's a thing, so let's talk about it here. 1063 00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:51.000 This is from Santa Ana, California, a former Canadian snowboarder 1064 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:54.480 pled not guilty to running a billion dollar drug trafficking 1065 00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:58.079 ring and orchestrating multiple killings as one of the FBI's 1066 00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:01.239 top fugitives, made his first US quarter appearance Monday since 1067 00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:04.320 he was arrested in Mexico last week and flown to California. 1068 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:07.199 US authorities say Ryan Wedding, who. 1069 00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.599 Competed in a single event for his home country in 1070 00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:11.840 the twenty or two thousand and two Winter Olympics in 1071 00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.679 Salt Lake City, had been hiding in Mexico for more 1072 00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:17.400 than a decade. He was added to the FBI's ten 1073 00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:20.480 most pointed fugitive lists last March, when authorities offered a 1074 00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.679 fifteen million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest 1075 00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:28.159 and conviction. Authorities say wins A Wedding moved as much 1076 00:58:28.199 --> 00:58:31.840 as sixty tons of cocaine between Columbia, Mexico, Canada, and 1077 00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:35.239 southern California, and believe he was working under the protection 1078 00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:37.800 of the San Looa cartel. Everybody knows what that is. 1079 00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:40.880 It's one of Mexico's most powerful drug rings. His drug 1080 00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:44.480 trafficking group was the largest supplier of cocaine to Canada, 1081 00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:47.840 according to a twenty twenty four indictment of his home country, 1082 00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:51.719 where he faces separate drug charges dating back to twenty fifteen. 1083 00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:54.880 Mexican officials said he turned himself in at the US 1084 00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:57.440 Embassy in Mexico City last week and was flown to 1085 00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.239 southern California after a year long effort by authority in 1086 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:03.559 the United States, Mexico, Canada, Columbia, and the dr to 1087 00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:07.880 arrest him. Your boy got around. Your boy got around. 1088 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:10.800 When speaking to reporters Monday outside the Federal court in 1089 00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:14.800 Santa Ana, south of Los Angeles, Wedding's defense attorney Anthony Colombo, 1090 00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.440 I wonder if that's any connection to the Colombo crime family. 1091 00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:18.920 I don't know. 1092 00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.280 I'm just anyone disputed that his client had turned himself 1093 00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:24.840 in in Mexico and said he was living in Mexico, 1094 00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:28.360 not hiding out there. He was arrested, Columbo said after 1095 00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.960 the brief hearing, offering no further details. He did not surrender, 1096 00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:35.119 So the story's already getting a little bit conflated here. 1097 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.079 If he turned himself in, nobody gets the fifteen million. 1098 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:42.239 If he was arrested. Somebody's cash in a check. Take 1099 00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:45.320 that for what it's worth anyway. Colombo said his client 1100 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:47.760 was in good spirits, but added that this has been 1101 00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:49.400 a whirlwind for mister Wedding. 1102 00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:53.039 Y'ah, I'll bet. Federal prosecutors declined to comment after the hearing. 1103 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:55.960 Wedding was scheduled to be back in court February eleventh, 1104 00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.239 and a trial date was set for March twenty fourth. 1105 00:59:58.519 --> 01:00:01.599 Wedding arrived in court, where ring a tan jumpsuit and 1106 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:05.079 his ankles chained. He smiled briefly, then clasped his hands 1107 01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:07.199 and leaned back in the chair before reviewing papers with 1108 01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:10.320 his attorney. When asked by the US magistrate John d 1109 01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:13.320 Early if he read the indictments filed against him, Wedding 1110 01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:14.639 answered I read them both. 1111 01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:14.960 Yes. 1112 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:17.960 The judge ordered him to be hailed in custody, saying 1113 01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.880 he could not immediately find conditions that would ensure public 1114 01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:24.199 safety or Wedding's appearance in court. He said he could 1115 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.840 consider bond if Wedding seeks it later. But bond, bro, 1116 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:30.960 what's the bond. 1117 01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:35.519 Gonna be set up with the sixty tons of coke? Okay? 1118 01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:38.199 I mean, maybe your boys just got stacks. You know, 1119 01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:41.320 if they got the bond set for like ten million 1120 01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:44.840 or some shit, maybe he actually has ten million green 1121 01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:47.559 dollar bills just ready to go. I don't know, I 1122 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:52.159 don't all right. Mexico has increasingly sent detained cartel members 1123 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:54.800 to the United States as the country attempts to offset 1124 01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:57.840 mounting threats by the US president, who said last month 1125 01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.360 the US forces will now start hitting lands south of 1126 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:03.519 the border to target drug trafficking rings. I really hope 1127 01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:05.360 they do. By the way, now that all of the 1128 01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:10.280 cartels have been registered as terrorist organizations, I really do 1129 01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:12.920 hope that we start getting more, not just like we 1130 01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:18.719 saw with Maduro. Although I will say, y'all, remember months 1131 01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:22.400 and months and months ago, when Trump acknowledged that these 1132 01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:26.519 groups are now terrorist organizations. We had said that we 1133 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:29.760 could get some Tier one guys, some Delta Force, some 1134 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:31.559 Green Berets, some Navy seals. 1135 01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:32.840 We could start. 1136 01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:36.079 Seeing these dudes going in and doing some black ops 1137 01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:39.440 operations against the cartels. That was a real thing that 1138 01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:42.760 we could start seeing. Next thing, you know, Madurero gets joined. 1139 01:01:43.159 --> 01:01:47.239 Next thing, you know, this guy turns himself in quote unquote, 1140 01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:50.559 he was arrested, he was snatched, right, could this be 1141 01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:55.599 that I think so personally. Wedding was indicted in twenty 1142 01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:59.360 twenty four on federal charges of running a criminal enterprise, murder, 1143 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:03.440 conspiring to distribute cocaine, and other crimes. The murder charges 1144 01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:06.320 accused Wedding of directing the twenty twenty three killings of 1145 01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:09.159 two members of the Canadian family in retaliation for a 1146 01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:12.159 stolen drug shipment, and for ordering a killing of a 1147 01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:16.000 drug debt in twenty twenty four. Last year, Wedding was 1148 01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:18.360 indicted on new charges of orchestrating the killing of a 1149 01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.719 witness in Colombia to help him avoid extradition to the US. 1150 01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:25.679 Wedding was previously convicted in the US of conspiracy to 1151 01:02:25.719 --> 01:02:29.559 distribute cocaine and sentenced to prison in twenty ten. Online 1152 01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:31.920 record show he was released from the Bureau of Prison 1153 01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:33.159 custody in twenty eleven. 1154 01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:35.679 So they already had him and let him go, but 1155 01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:36.199 all right. 1156 01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:40.039 The twenty twenty four Canadian indictment says Weddings group obtained 1157 01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:42.800 cocaine from Colombia and worked with Mexican cartels to move 1158 01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:45.480 the drugs by boat and plane to Mexico and then 1159 01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:49.719 into the US using semitrucks. The indictment said it said 1160 01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.400 the group stored cocaine in southern California before sending it 1161 01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:55.800 to Canada and other US states. I mean, that's how 1162 01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:58.559 that goes. That's typically the route that these drugs take 1163 01:02:58.599 --> 01:03:00.880 when they go from Colombia to the North. 1164 01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:03.320 So yeah, we'll see how he goes. 1165 01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:07.960 I sincerely doubt that he is gonna beat the case 1166 01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:09.920 on this or beat the charges. 1167 01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:12.639 I think he's I think he's gonna get got here. 1168 01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:15.159 But we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Now. 1169 01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:16.960 I did want to take this other thing as we 1170 01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:19.199 were talking about things as far as the US is concerned. 1171 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:26.960 Apparently we have another possible UFO situation over Area fifty 1172 01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.760 one right now. This is from the New York Post. 1173 01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:35.920 A mysterious Dorito shaped aircraft spotted flying at night over 1174 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:36.920 Area fifty one. 1175 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:38.960 Something interesting here. 1176 01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:41.920 This is from January twenty third to twenty twenty six, 1177 01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:45.039 before I read Sam what you got? 1178 01:03:46.199 --> 01:03:48.960 Just based off of the description right there, Dolto shaped? 1179 01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:52.679 Are we sure this isn't like the B two but 1180 01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:55.679 just on even more steroids, like it's a new little 1181 01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:57.199 off spring. 1182 01:03:58.280 --> 01:03:59.679 I personally believe yes. 1183 01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:03.199 So does that mean that sofa dude's gonna get replaced 1184 01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:05.880 because I kind of like the Stoner plane. 1185 01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:07.320 I don't know. 1186 01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.519 I don't know, because it's very possible they just came 1187 01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:13.480 out with a drone plane that could be used. It's 1188 01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:16.960 it's basically a drone jet that could be used with 1189 01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:20.840 the F thirty five's computer systems to be basically right, 1190 01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:26.039 the Wingman exactly, and it looks quite similar to the 1191 01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:28.480 Flying Grito. Now I'm not saying that that's what this 1192 01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:31.239 craft was, but possibly this was a test flight of 1193 01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:32.000 something similar. 1194 01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:35.960 My question is, like, is there a way that we 1195 01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:39.679 can keep upgrading BUFF because BUFF is forever. 1196 01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:46.440 That's like saying, can we upgrade the sledgehammer? Like for 1197 01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:49.280 the job and task that a sledgehammer performs, it is 1198 01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:52.760 the best, but not everything requires a sledgehammer. Some things 1199 01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:56.199 require a scalpel, some things require a screwdriver. You gotta 1200 01:04:56.239 --> 01:04:58.559 have the right job or the right tool for the job. 1201 01:04:58.719 --> 01:04:59.519 If that makes sense. 1202 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.280 I it makes sense, but I personally believe that. But 1203 01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:04.719 when we go to space, we're gonna be using BUFF 1204 01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:06.519 to glass planets. 1205 01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:09.800 That would be hilarious. I'd be down with it. So 1206 01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:10.480 let's talk about it. 1207 01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:10.639 Here. 1208 01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.760 A mysterious dorido shaped aircraft was spotted soaring above the 1209 01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:16.840 highly classified Area fifty one military base in southern Nevada 1210 01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:22.400 off grid. Videographer andrews Otdison, known for documenting the mysterious 1211 01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:26.960 landscapes around the military installation for his YouTube channel Uncanny Expeditions, 1212 01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:29.800 was out in the desert when he recorded a strange 1213 01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:34.280 unidentified craft around three am January fourteenth of this year. 1214 01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:35.480 There's only two weeks ago. 1215 01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:39.920 The craft, believed to be an unidentified aerial phenomenon, appeared 1216 01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:44.199 to have an equilateral triangle shape, noticeably different from the 1217 01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:47.800 B two Spirit stealth bomber that Audison filmed earlier that night, 1218 01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:51.920 So he had already that night recorded a B two. 1219 01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:53.880 This wasn't that. 1220 01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:57.440 The on screen right now is a picture from the video, 1221 01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:02.320 and it's very ridoh shaped and it was moving very fast. 1222 01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:05.599 While the B two has a similar v wing profile, 1223 01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:08.239 Audison said, the mystery craft appeared to have a flatter 1224 01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:13.079 trailing edge, no visible wings in a jagged rear section. Still, 1225 01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:16.639 Oddison noted that given the limited resolution, he would not 1226 01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:19.159 rule out the possibility that it was a B two. 1227 01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:20.880 Or another military aircraft. 1228 01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:24.519 Are we looking at classified test flights? Or run of 1229 01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:27.519 the mill training sortie. I certainly think we have something 1230 01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:30.880 interesting here, Addison said. The aircraft matched the shape and 1231 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.079 flight trail scene in twenty fourteen photos showing what appeared 1232 01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:39.440 to be a as yet unacknowledged triangle shaped aircraft quote 1233 01:06:39.559 --> 01:06:44.360 unquote over Wichita, Kansas and Amarillo, Texas. The two photos 1234 01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:48.119 appeared to show similar unidentified triangle shaped aircrafts, unlike any 1235 01:06:48.239 --> 01:06:51.360 known air force planes or drones. He added that the 1236 01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:54.480 sighting also reminded him of more recent reports of a 1237 01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:58.519 similar dorito shaped aircraft spotted over southern California's Remote desert region. 1238 01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:01.519 So on screen right now now is a B to 1239 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:04.119 a bomber right and you could see, yeah, it has 1240 01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:07.719 the dorito you know, kind of shape to it. However, 1241 01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:12.360 this image is not the same thing. And yes, the 1242 01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:15.599 grainy resolution makes it a little difficult. 1243 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:16.440 I get that. 1244 01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:20.119 But on the wings of the B two it has 1245 01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:22.199 those the last parts that kind of jut out and 1246 01:07:22.199 --> 01:07:26.079 made hard angles. This, in my opinion, looks very similar 1247 01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:29.000 to the Wingman. Again, I could be wrong, but we 1248 01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:32.760 shall see. On January fifteenth, Ottison linked up with UFO 1249 01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:36.199 researcher your R new which take that guy for what 1250 01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:41.239 is worth who shared scanner audio allegedly capturing odd snack 1251 01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:44.960 themed code words over Area fifty one encrypto radio channels 1252 01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:47.880 during a B two bomber flight hours before the Dourrido 1253 01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:48.559 shaped sighting. 1254 01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:49.639 That's interesting. 1255 01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:53.639 The pilots were heard tossing around phrases like profile, michelobe, 1256 01:07:54.039 --> 01:08:01.159 imperial with garlic, pretzel, snack, and fridge hydrate during the exchange. 1257 01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:06.920 Okay, you know, I don't know if this was them using. 1258 01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:10.239 Some sort of a code talk or if these dudes 1259 01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:13.679 were actually just bullshitting about things. 1260 01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:17.479 Both are very viable, Both are very possible here. 1261 01:08:18.119 --> 01:08:20.520 Arnew said the chatter was different than anything he had 1262 01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:24.159 previously heard after decades of monitoring the airwaves. 1263 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:25.319 Very interesting. 1264 01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:28.479 Autiston caution, however, that the code words could be routine 1265 01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:32.520 military jargon used by pilots communicating over radio channels. Still, 1266 01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:35.159 the YouTuber believes there is something interesting happening in the 1267 01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:39.119 airspace around Area fifty one Novata Logue. More than forty 1268 01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:43.680 reported sightings of triangular unidentified aerial phenomenon in twenty twenty five. 1269 01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:47.000 According to the National UFO Reporter Center, Area fifty one 1270 01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:49.640 remained secret for decades, becoming a focal point of UFO 1271 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:52.640 lore for years until the government formally acknowledged its existence 1272 01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:57.640 in twenty thirteen. Now, remember here, there was a crash 1273 01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:01.039 outside of Area fifty one just a few weeks ago. 1274 01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:02.760 I say that it might have been a couple of 1275 01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:04.319 months ago. I kind of lose track of time with 1276 01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:06.840 these things. But there was a crash of some sort 1277 01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:09.479 of a craft, and the wreckage of it. 1278 01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:15.399 Didn't seem like UFO things. It seemed like man made materials. 1279 01:09:16.359 --> 01:09:21.520 However, they had people go out there and scatter about 1280 01:09:22.079 --> 01:09:27.439 bits of radio equipment and computer systems that weren't associated 1281 01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:30.000 with the rest of the crash wreckage. 1282 01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:33.920 So could that also be one of these test flights 1283 01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:34.600 that went wrong? 1284 01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:36.920 And as a way to cover their tracks, the military 1285 01:09:37.039 --> 01:09:39.479 went out and sprinkled a bunch of random bits and 1286 01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:42.000 pieces from other crafts out there to kind of dissuade 1287 01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:45.920 people from learning what new tech we're working on. 1288 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:47.760 I find it very possible. 1289 01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:51.119 In April, a triangular tower at the Air Force based 1290 01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:54.479 fuel conspiracy theory, suggesting it could be linked to alien tech. Yeah, 1291 01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:57.600 we talked about that. The triangular tower that has been 1292 01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:01.119 built at Area fifty one But anyway, so what is 1293 01:10:01.199 --> 01:10:04.079 this new flying dorito that is making its way above 1294 01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:07.640 area fifty one as of now, I don't know. I'm 1295 01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:10.600 currently of the belief that it's probably some new craft 1296 01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:14.680 tech that America has, but who's to say, you know, 1297 01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:16.319 who's to say it. 1298 01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:18.399 Very well could be the wingman. I don't know. 1299 01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:22.239 Now, continuing on with the conversation about the US and 1300 01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:24.119 military and all of these things, I'm not going to 1301 01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:26.000 spend too much time talking about this one. 1302 01:10:26.279 --> 01:10:30.079 But this was silly. This was so silly. 1303 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:34.920 Canada prepping response to hypothetical US military invasion for the 1304 01:10:34.960 --> 01:10:38.600 first time in a century. Report says the model is 1305 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:42.399 purely theoretical and precautionary, with official stressing that the US 1306 01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:49.079 has no A US invasion is unlikely. Okay the TLDR 1307 01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:51.960 of this, Just so we're all on the same page here. 1308 01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:57.960 Canada decided to run some wargames, which is not crazy. 1309 01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:02.760 Countries run wargames all all the time, and Canada decided 1310 01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.479 that they, for the first time in over one hundred years, 1311 01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:09.600 they were going to run a simulation, a model, a 1312 01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:13.359 war game of if the United States was to invade Canada, 1313 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:15.680 what could they do to stop them. 1314 01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:20.079 How would that play out for them? All these things, y'all? 1315 01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:27.880 The best the best options was that America would take 1316 01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:31.800 over the entirety of Canada in a week. The worst 1317 01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:36.720 case scenario was forty eight hours, again to the shock 1318 01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:41.399 of literally no one. Yeah, so that I don't know why. 1319 01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:43.680 I don't know why they would even have questioned this. 1320 01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:45.880 And this is just off of the tech that they 1321 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:48.479 know about that we have. That's not even talking about 1322 01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:51.439 the experimental shit. But yeah, we could read this a 1323 01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:53.960 little bit because it's all about how we were talking 1324 01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:56.720 about this last night on the Cult of Conspiracy Live. 1325 01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:00.640 There are certain provinces in Canada they're talking about seating 1326 01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:03.680 and if they were two pledge allegiance to the United 1327 01:12:03.720 --> 01:12:06.760 States flag, which they may not. They may not, but 1328 01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:11.680 if they did, what would Canada's response be? How would 1329 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:13.960 that go for them? So they're just kind of spitballing 1330 01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:14.720 ideas here. 1331 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:15.079 You know. 1332 01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:19.760 Canada military is modeling its response to a hypothetical US 1333 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:23.800 invasion as tensions rise between President Trump's administration and NATO allies. 1334 01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:27.359 According to a new report, the model outlines the Canadian 1335 01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:30.800 armed forces multi pronged strategy to counter a potential US 1336 01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.720 military incursion. It includes plans to use asymmetric tactics, drone warfare, 1337 01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:38.960 and requests for European backup. According to two senior Canadian 1338 01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:42.039 officials who spoke to The Globe and Mail, the model 1339 01:12:42.079 --> 01:12:45.439 is purely theoretical and precautionary, with official stressing that a 1340 01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:47.239 US invasion is unlikely to happen. 1341 01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:48.880 Yet it's not going to happen. We're not going to 1342 01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:49.239 do that. 1343 01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:52.720 Still, it illustrates the extent to which relations between the 1344 01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:56.279 two nations, long standing allies and important trading partners, have 1345 01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:58.439 broken down over the past year. To this point, a 1346 01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:00.920 poll was taken this summer found that those Canadians now 1347 01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:04.159 view the United States as their country is the greatest threat. 1348 01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:07.600 Oh that's rich. I would love to know where that 1349 01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:10.119 poll was taken from. I got a weird feeling it 1350 01:13:10.199 --> 01:13:13.600 was in and around Ottawa or in and around Quebec, 1351 01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:20.279 I guarantee. But anyway, and talks here about the conversation 1352 01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:23.560 about America, how Trump was talking about making you know, 1353 01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:26.600 Canada it's fifty first state. It goes on to talk 1354 01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:30.520 about the whole Greenland situation, the Kingdom of Denmark and 1355 01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:35.359 all these things, all this stuff last week, He commented 1356 01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:39.479 the to strengthening bonds with China and forging a new 1357 01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:43.199 world order, underscoring the apparent decline of the US led 1358 01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:48.640 system of alliances. That's from Mark Carney. Mark Carney said 1359 01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:51.720 that he wants to strengthen bonds with China and forge 1360 01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:56.560 a new world order. His words, not mine. So as 1361 01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:59.000 they're talking about these things, they decided to run some 1362 01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:03.840 war games just it says a hypothetical, and it was. 1363 01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:08.359 It was bad. It was so bad. One official said. 1364 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:11.039 The model is inspired by the muja Hadeen, a group 1365 01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:13.720 of guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan who fought the Russians in 1366 01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:16.800 the Soviet Afghan War using hit and run tactics. For 1367 01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:19.319 the record, the Mouja Hadeen is a group that the 1368 01:14:19.399 --> 01:14:23.880 United States trained and armed. So they were using our 1369 01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:31.600 outdated tactics against our now modern tactics. Okay, it's a 1370 01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:34.279 bold strategy, Cotton, and it did not work out for them. 1371 01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:34.960 It's crazy. 1372 01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:38.399 You know, if you come to after Canada, you're going 1373 01:14:38.439 --> 01:14:41.199 to have the world coming after you, even more than Greenland. 1374 01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:44.479 People do care about what happens to Canada, unlike Venezuela. 1375 01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:46.159 Yeah, okay. 1376 01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:50.359 Retired General David Fraser, who led Canadian troops in Afghanistans, 1377 01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:53.319 said you could actually see German ships and British planes 1378 01:14:53.319 --> 01:14:56.800 in Canada to reinforce the country's sovereignty. I don't believe so. 1379 01:14:57.520 --> 01:15:01.600 I don't believe so. I believe that German in England 1380 01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:06.039 see US as a closer ally than Canada. I could 1381 01:15:06.079 --> 01:15:09.880 be wrong. Still, One official said the relations between the 1382 01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:12.640 military force of Canada and the US remain positive because 1383 01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:15.520 it does. This week the two nations work together on 1384 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:19.880 a nord exercise in Greenland, and retired Lieutenant General Mike Day, 1385 01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:23.720 who led Canadian Special Forces commands, said it is fanciful 1386 01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:26.640 to believe the Americans would launch an invasion of Canada. 1387 01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:28.000 Yeah, agreed, agreed. 1388 01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:31.800 Anyway, you could look up more in depth conversations about 1389 01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:34.680 the war games that were ram They were trying to 1390 01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:39.560 realistically use outdated guerrilla tactics, which, for the record, gerrilla 1391 01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:40.920 tactics are not outdated. 1392 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:45.119 The Moujah Hydeen guerrilla tactics are outdated. 1393 01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:47.680 And they were trying to use these types of things 1394 01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:51.359 and using the system off of that against US today. 1395 01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:54.760 That was in a day and age before drones. That 1396 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.479 was in a day and age before a majority of 1397 01:15:57.520 --> 01:15:59.760 our air superiority. 1398 01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:01.039 That we have now was well established. 1399 01:16:01.920 --> 01:16:06.399 That was before even your lowliest grunt has the amount 1400 01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:10.119 of tech in their bag that they do now. So 1401 01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:14.720 the again, the best case scenario looked like we would 1402 01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.159 take over the country. 1403 01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:19.239 All of it in a week. Sorry, that's the best 1404 01:16:19.239 --> 01:16:19.840 for Canada. 1405 01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:23.239 They'd be able to quote unquote hold out for seven days. 1406 01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:27.439 The worst case scenario was forty eight hours. And that 1407 01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:31.399 was with America super nerved. Both of these examples, by 1408 01:16:31.399 --> 01:16:34.760 the way, but they believe that it was like our premium. 1409 01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:35.840 It was. 1410 01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:39.119 They don't understand how nerved They made it to make 1411 01:16:39.159 --> 01:16:42.800 themselves look better, and it still was embarrassing. So anyway, 1412 01:16:43.399 --> 01:16:44.920 I just wanted to throw that out as an interesting 1413 01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:49.600 little tidbit of information here. Now as we're talking about Canada, 1414 01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:53.760 we're talking about Britain, British Commonwealth kind of things. David 1415 01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:57.800 Marcus UK's promotion of first cousin marriage at odds with 1416 01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:02.159 Western culture. The Prime Minisae blocked a vote to ban 1417 01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:06.560 marriages common in some immigrant communities, despite acknowledging genetic races 1418 01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:09.000 to children. We talked about this a few weeks ago, 1419 01:17:09.399 --> 01:17:12.399 how Britain was debating if they were going to outlaw 1420 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:17.119 first cousin marriages within their country. Uh no, no, they 1421 01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:21.239 decided to block that vote. You can absolutely still legally 1422 01:17:21.279 --> 01:17:26.079 marry your first cousin in Britain, and now the political 1423 01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:28.880 arm of the law says, not only are you allowed, 1424 01:17:29.560 --> 01:17:34.720 they're they're damn near encouraging it, because to take that 1425 01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:38.359 away would be racist. Never mind the fact that you're 1426 01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:40.840 gonna make a bunch of you know, downs babies and shit. 1427 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.760 That's that's not the point. It's racist against the Gypsies. 1428 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.479 Their words, not mine. It's clearly not against the Gypsies. 1429 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:51.760 But anyway, yeah, Sam, go ahead. 1430 01:17:54.520 --> 01:18:01.720 So beans on Beans on Falaphona has become Sweet Home London. Yeah, 1431 01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.479 they really said, why go to the mall when you 1432 01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:05.840 could just cross the hall? 1433 01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:12.840 Huh, they really did. They did say these things. 1434 01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:17.239 And yet they think America is just a bunch of hillbillies. 1435 01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:22.319 But they're the ones that that that be stooping their cousin. 1436 01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:25.960 So they are saying that this is racist against the 1437 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:29.279 Gypsy communities. For the record, the Gypsy communities that are 1438 01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:32.800 living in the in the UK have been living. 1439 01:18:32.520 --> 01:18:36.000 There for well over one hundred years. And if they 1440 01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:39.640 are doing the cousin marrying thing, they're they're not at risk, 1441 01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:42.600 They're they're they got that pretty much locked in. This 1442 01:18:42.760 --> 01:18:47.359 is specifically racist against the Muslim population that is running 1443 01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:50.840 rampant in the UK right now. And there's a reason 1444 01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:52.800 why go ahead. 1445 01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:56.600 So what's next? They're gonna allow child marriage of fucking 1446 01:18:56.680 --> 01:18:57.479 six year olds? 1447 01:18:57.880 --> 01:19:00.680 Probably I could, I realistically can see the age of 1448 01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.279 consent in the marrying age being dropped to a lower 1449 01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:04.840 number here in the next year. 1450 01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:08.920 England has a I've been saying England has fallen. It 1451 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:13.800 looks like I have been more validated today than I 1452 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:15.359 have been in quite some time. 1453 01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:17.640 No, I fully believe that they have fallen. 1454 01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:19.960 It's not even They're not even like in their last 1455 01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:22.960 little bit of we're still here. No, you're not like 1456 01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:25.720 you're you are a shell of your former self and 1457 01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:29.840 that shell has now been filled with immigrants that don't 1458 01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:30.439 belong there. 1459 01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:36.399 Look but the lobster backs and everything. But I believe 1460 01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:39.479 Britain should be for the British. And I don't mean 1461 01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:42.079 angler Saxons or anything. I mean people that actually give 1462 01:19:42.119 --> 01:19:44.920 a fuck about their about their their little their island 1463 01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:46.720 and actually care about the British way of life. 1464 01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:50.880 Bro Indians, even the Indians and the Pakistanis that moved 1465 01:19:50.920 --> 01:19:57.279 to the UK decades ago, they assimilated. They're doing great. 1466 01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:01.279 They're opening shops for they're running local business. They are 1467 01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:04.960 keeping their cultural practices from their homeland. But they're also 1468 01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:08.039 living and thriving in the UK and nobody's got beef 1469 01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:10.880 with them. It's the new immigrants that people hate. 1470 01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:18.520 Do you know there's a Korean uh content creator dude. 1471 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:19.359 With the bacon on his shirt.

He's been doing videos 1473 01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:27.039 on it and he's like. 1474 01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:30.760 He's arrested multiple times for his ship because they don't 1475 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:31.520 have friendom speech. 1476 01:20:32.359 --> 01:20:36.920 No, he's been labeled as a terrorist, yet they're letting 1477 01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:40.680 actual fucking terrorists just walk in their fucking streets. How 1478 01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:43.479 do you go from being one of the best empires, 1479 01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:46.399 arguably in the entire fucking world, to be in a 1480 01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:48.359 battered housewife. 1481 01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:52.800 Like because of week leadership after week leadership after week leadership. 1482 01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:55.520 I'm sorry, I thought y'all were supposed to be Britain, 1483 01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:59.920 not France. But take your hands reached down in your pants, 1484 01:21:00.159 --> 01:21:02.119 try to grab your nuts see if they're still there, 1485 01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:04.560 and if not, go to your wife and open up 1486 01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:11.359 your her person, glab them out.

Uh. 1489 01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:18.399 I would argue against that. 1490 01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:18.800 Uh. 1491 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.439 They they did some things in the Falkland War. 1492 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.840 They they did have troops deployed during the they're in 1493 01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:27.920 Afghanistan and I met some of them. 1494 01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:29.000 They were solid dudes, dude. 1495 01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:32.399 The British Marines, Yeah, the Royal Marines, the British Royal 1496 01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:36.640 Marines are literally the exact same thing as the American Marines. 1497 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:39.119 They they act like us, they talk like us, They 1498 01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:40.960 have the same sense of humor, the same fuck the 1499 01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:43.640 world tactics. They just talk with a funny accent. But 1500 01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:46.720 they're the same things. Same with the Dutch Marines. Solid dudes. 1501 01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:50.640 But it's uh yeah that they had week leadership after 1502 01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:54.119 week leadership after week leadership, and now Keir Starmer is 1503 01:21:54.159 --> 01:21:57.000 making it a sport on how hard he can run 1504 01:21:57.039 --> 01:21:59.279 his nation into the ground and let it be taken 1505 01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:01.359 over from these people. There's a real reason why the 1506 01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:05.720 UAE refuses to pay for any more of their people 1507 01:22:05.840 --> 01:22:08.319 to go to school in England because they don't want 1508 01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:12.760 them to get infected with the ideologies of the other Muslims. 1509 01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:16.640 Their words not mine. The bad Muslims, their words not mine. 1510 01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:20.159 They're not letting anybody from the year United Arab immorants 1511 01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:22.600 go to school in England anymore. They're afraid that they're 1512 01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:28.319 going to get extreme. What's the word not extrematized, radicalize, 1513 01:22:28.359 --> 01:22:34.640 thank you. So even Muslim powerhouses are saying that y'all 1514 01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:37.399 have gone too far, your laws are too lax, and 1515 01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:39.479 we can't trust you to take care of our people. 1516 01:22:39.720 --> 01:22:41.840 Because I don't want to send my kid to college 1517 01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:44.079 in England and he comes home in four years and 1518 01:22:44.119 --> 01:22:45.640 he's now a homegrown terrorist. 1519 01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:47.840 That's a bold statement. 1520 01:22:48.640 --> 01:22:50.800 What does I tell you about Islam when even other 1521 01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:53.359 Muslims hate the other ones. 1522 01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:56.119 To be fair, I know that a lot of people 1523 01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:59.960 would say that Christianization and the Jews are the evil 1524 01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:00.920 against Muslims. 1525 01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:04.119 That's not true. Nobody hates Muslims more than other. 1526 01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:12.600 Muslims at that, and I mean they do. I understand. 1527 01:23:12.640 --> 01:23:15.319 I believe everybody should have right to their own religion 1528 01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:18.000 and everything. Sure, but when your religion says it is 1529 01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:22.840 okay to rape and pillage and destroy a land all 1530 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:26.640 because they don't want to marry children and everything and 1531 01:23:26.680 --> 01:23:29.880 don't want to bow down to a man. H fuck 1532 01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:33.039 you and your entire culture at that point, you know, 1533 01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:37.520 like that, I've the more I read about, the more 1534 01:23:37.560 --> 01:23:41.600 I've read the Koran, the more I realize this is 1535 01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:46.359 just a warlord that wanted to who came to be 1536 01:23:46.399 --> 01:23:49.760 a prophet. Even said, Hey, if I have put any 1537 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:54.399 false words into Allah's mouth, may he sever my my 1538 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:55.239 a order. 1539 01:23:55.640 --> 01:23:58.680 And then from that exact I know, I know, I know, 1540 01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:02.640 I don't understand it. I really wish I did, but 1541 01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:03.359 I can't. 1542 01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:09.760 That The Quran says that that the Torah and the 1543 01:24:09.800 --> 01:24:13.079 Gospels are true, but then it turns out in the 1544 01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:17.079 very next chapter and everything says that Uh Jesus Isa 1545 01:24:17.399 --> 01:24:21.000 was not crucified. But yet Uh in one story from 1546 01:24:21.039 --> 01:24:23.520 the Koan, it says that Mohammad took the tour and 1547 01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:27.039 put it on the judges pillow, the thing that that 1548 01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:29.479 they would say for those who would judge and have 1549 01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:33.880 them judge them. But yet, the dude was complete. The 1550 01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:35.439 more you made it, the more you aisee, this is 1551 01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:37.159 just much bullshit, dude. 1552 01:24:37.439 --> 01:24:40.800 The Quran is so contradictory it's not even funny. And 1553 01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:44.039 I understand people are gonna say, Oh, that's good, that's 1554 01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:46.720 just because you're a Christian, so you think everything. No, No, 1555 01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:50.119 there are some religions out there that they they hold 1556 01:24:50.199 --> 01:24:53.840 up as far as the uh, the chain of not 1557 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:59.439 the champ events, the the chnological order, not just historical, 1558 01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:03.279 but as far as logic goes. They believe A because 1559 01:25:03.279 --> 01:25:06.199 of B, which led them to C, and now they 1560 01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:08.640 live in the way of D. This makes they can 1561 01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:12.319 at least make a cohesive, coherent chain of events of 1562 01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:14.920 their logic, and I can at least appreciate that. I 1563 01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:18.359 might disagree with it for reasons, but at least that's there. Hell, 1564 01:25:18.720 --> 01:25:23.199 Greek paganism makes more sense than Islam, like the real shit, 1565 01:25:23.319 --> 01:25:25.960 worshiping Zeus makes more sense. 1566 01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:31.199 Yes, that that makes way more sense. 1567 01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:33.960 You're telling me there's a god out there and basically 1568 01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:37.000 the majority of your religion is stories of how he 1569 01:25:37.039 --> 01:25:39.319 couldn't keep his dick to himself and that's why all 1570 01:25:39.439 --> 01:25:41.800 this shit has happened. Look, it doesn't it doesn't have 1571 01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:44.680 to make perfect sense, but yeah, yeah, here we are. 1572 01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:46.720 That's the way it is. 1573 01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:50.840 You shure that Zeu's not Ben Franklin. 1574 01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:54.159 I mean, well Ben Franklin did, but like Ben Franklin's 1575 01:25:54.159 --> 01:25:56.199 dick didn't make storms happen, you know what I mean. 1576 01:25:56.239 --> 01:25:59.000 But like my point is I'm being a little facetious here, 1577 01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:03.199 but my point is, Yeah, there's actual groups out there 1578 01:26:03.279 --> 01:26:06.880 with actual long standing religious beliefs that when you look 1579 01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:09.479 at them, they haven't changed over time. They don't contradict 1580 01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:13.760 themselves later on, they don't at least hold some sort 1581 01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:20.359 of cohesive theory. Islam almost immediately contradicts itself and then 1582 01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:23.720 repeatedly does so the entire way through the only way 1583 01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:26.239 you can actually believe it. And I don't mean like 1584 01:26:26.279 --> 01:26:31.800 you're you're more progressive and modern Muslim dude who's just 1585 01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:33.760 out here living his life, and yeah, he you know, 1586 01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:35.800 he believes the Koran, but like he's not the dude 1587 01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:38.000 it's acting in ass about it. He's not into the 1588 01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:40.640 hadiths and all this. He takes it as like a 1589 01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:42.720 philosophical thing that he applies to his life. 1590 01:26:43.399 --> 01:26:44.359 Okay, I'm not. 1591 01:26:44.279 --> 01:26:46.399 Really worried about him. He's also not the dude's trapping 1592 01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:49.039 a vest to his chest. The ones that are going 1593 01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:50.960 to the nth degree with it. Are the ones that 1594 01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:53.039 have buried their heads so far in the sand that 1595 01:26:53.079 --> 01:26:55.600 they cannot even have some sort of a cohesive thought 1596 01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:59.760 about the contradictions without getting violent about it. 1597 01:26:59.520 --> 01:27:02.079 It's yes, so yeah. 1598 01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:07.199 Anyway, UK's Prime Minister has now blocked the vote to 1599 01:27:07.319 --> 01:27:11.800 band first cousin marriages because it's racist against certain people. 1600 01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:12.800 I guess. 1601 01:27:13.039 --> 01:27:17.079 Anyway, Hey, Jacob, I never said I like your hoodie. 1602 01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:21.640 It looks really dumb appreciate you, isn't it all. It 1603 01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:23.760 reminds me of the PT. 1604 01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:26.960 Uniform the green Yeah, but actually it's Dixon. 1605 01:27:28.520 --> 01:27:30.039 Oh that's that's dope as hell. 1606 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:33.399 Yeah, Dixon makes the od green hoodie, which is it's 1607 01:27:33.399 --> 01:27:36.840 thick and it's awesome. More and more of my flannels 1608 01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:39.960 are becoming Dixon these days. I love their quality. All 1609 01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:43.199 the other flannels I buy, they they're great. And then 1610 01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:46.439 somehow they shrink and I washed the cold water and 1611 01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:48.279 I let the marriage ry and all the shit they 1612 01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:49.920 shrink up want me to do Dixon's. 1613 01:27:50.359 --> 01:27:54.000 The motherfuckers ain't going nowhere, and it's awesome. They're expensive though. 1614 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:56.760 You remember the PT uniforms. 1615 01:27:56.359 --> 01:27:58.039 Oh yeah, the green on greens for show. 1616 01:27:58.720 --> 01:28:01.560 Oh I'd wear those when I cut my grass. 1617 01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.319 That's smart. 1618 01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:09.399 There's that well. Also, like the shorts and everything, I'm 1619 01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:12.880 uh that I just so I can get into the 1620 01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:16.079 mindset of the grind. That's what I'm gonna be wearing 1621 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:18.560 when I start walking out again. 1622 01:28:19.119 --> 01:28:22.560 Oh yeah, dude, fuck, get you some silkies, because that's 1623 01:28:22.600 --> 01:28:23.640 another thing that went away. 1624 01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:28.760 Still I have some silkies and the pett shorts and everything. 1625 01:28:28.760 --> 01:28:30.359 I call them the Daisy Dukes of freedom. 1626 01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:31.199 There you go. 1627 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:34.079 I still have a couple of pairs, but I only 1628 01:28:34.119 --> 01:28:36.800 really wear them when I go on like Silky's hikes, 1629 01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:39.720 which I haven't done in Irreverend Warrior hiking in a 1630 01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:41.439 good while, but I would like to start going on 1631 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:41.880 some more. 1632 01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:46.119 I have the exact same I have shorts in the 1633 01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:50.239 exact same length of the of the pet shorts, but 1634 01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:52.720 there's salmon pink and all. And I have the exact 1635 01:28:52.720 --> 01:28:55.880 same colored shirt I had the I had shoes that 1636 01:28:55.960 --> 01:28:59.520 went with the outfit and everything. It pissed my my 1637 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:03.720 CEO off so fucking much. He was like why, I said, 1638 01:29:03.720 --> 01:29:07.960 because it ain't easy being cheesy there, sir. And he 1639 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:10.520 was like, why do you look like every dad out 1640 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:13.000 of a trailer park. I'm like, because that's my culture. 1641 01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:15.840 I love it. 1642 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:19.279 All right, let's get into it here. So visit from CNN. 1643 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:22.880 So Trump weighs major new strike on Iran as nuclear 1644 01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:26.399 discussion shows no progress. This was updated five hours ago. 1645 01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:29.560 But I think this also ties into what's going on 1646 01:29:29.600 --> 01:29:31.520 in Iran, which we're gonna talk about the death toll 1647 01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:34.600 here next. But anyway, President Trump is weighing a major 1648 01:29:34.680 --> 01:29:38.359 new strike on Iran after preliminary discussions between Washington and 1649 01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:42.039 Tehran overlimiting the country's nuclear program and ballistic missile production 1650 01:29:42.119 --> 01:29:44.920 failed to make progress. According to people familiar with the matter, 1651 01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:50.479 it's a rapid refocusing of the administration's publicity framed objectives 1652 01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:53.600 for Iran and comes only weeks after Trump seriously considered 1653 01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:57.840 military action. He framed US potential aid for nationwide protests 1654 01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:01.720 in Iran protesters had faced by silent crackdowns by security forces, 1655 01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:05.880 leads to leading to hundreds of killings. Hundreds is not 1656 01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:10.479 an accurate statement. CNN, of course, would downplay this. We 1657 01:30:10.520 --> 01:30:14.800 have an article pulled up here from Iran Iranian news 1658 01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:18.039 or at least like not the state media, of course, 1659 01:30:18.079 --> 01:30:21.000 but like sources from Iran are saying that it's like 1660 01:30:21.079 --> 01:30:24.479 over thirty six thousand in two days. We're gonna talk 1661 01:30:24.479 --> 01:30:28.159 more about it anyway. Trump on Wednesday posted on truth 1662 01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:31.039 social demanding that Iran come to the table to negotiate 1663 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:35.399 a fair and equitable deal no nuclear weapons. He warned 1664 01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:37.800 the next US attack on the country would be far 1665 01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:41.319 worse than the one carried out last summer when US 1666 01:30:41.359 --> 01:30:45.800 and Israel attacked the Iranian nuclear sites. Options he is 1667 01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:49.119 now considering include US military air strikes aimed at Iran's 1668 01:30:49.199 --> 01:30:52.319 leaders and the security officials believed to be responsible for 1669 01:30:52.359 --> 01:30:55.520 the killings, as well as strikes on Iranian nuclear sites 1670 01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:59.760 and government institutions. Trump has not made a final decision 1671 01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:02.760 on how to proceed, sources said, but he believes his 1672 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:06.520 military options have been expanded from earlier this month now 1673 01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:09.199 that the US Carrier Strike Group is in the region. 1674 01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:13.880 The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group entered the Indian 1675 01:31:13.920 --> 01:31:17.119 Ocean on Monday and is continuing to move closer to Iran, 1676 01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:20.920 where it could support any potential operations against the country, 1677 01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:24.279 both in terms of Adian strikes and in protecting regional 1678 01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:28.479 allies from potential Iranian retaliation. The US and Iran have 1679 01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:33.239 been exchanging messages including through Omani diplomats, and between Trump's 1680 01:31:33.279 --> 01:31:41.520 Foreign ENVOYE. D. Whitcoff and Iran's foreign minister Abbas Argachi Arashi. 1681 01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:43.520 I't fucking know earlier. 1682 01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:46.760 This month about a possible meeting to ward off US attacks, 1683 01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:50.039 which Trump had been threatening in response to protesters' deaths. 1684 01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:53.560 The source said there was a brief discussion of an 1685 01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:55.800 in person meeting, but that never came to fruition. 1686 01:31:56.279 --> 01:31:58.039 There have been no serious direct. 1687 01:31:57.720 --> 01:32:00.640 Negotiations between the US and Iran, as Trump has ramped 1688 01:32:00.720 --> 01:32:03.399 up his threats of military action in recent days. According 1689 01:32:03.399 --> 01:32:06.199 to another person familiar with the matter, it's not clear 1690 01:32:06.279 --> 01:32:08.960 why Trump has seen has since shifted his focus back 1691 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:13.319 to Iran's nuclear program, but he said last summer it 1692 01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:17.239 was obliterated by US strikes. But Iran has been trying 1693 01:32:17.239 --> 01:32:20.279 to rebuild its nuclear sites even deeper underground, according to 1694 01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:24.680 the sources, and has long resisted US pressure to halt 1695 01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:28.600 its uranium enrichment. The regime also barred the UN's nuclear 1696 01:32:28.640 --> 01:32:32.239 watchdog from inspecting its nuclear sites. I'll bet they did, 1697 01:32:32.359 --> 01:32:36.840 because that's that's how we knew that they had yellow cake, 1698 01:32:37.399 --> 01:32:41.039 that they had enriched uranium to that level. There's no 1699 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:44.560 reason for you to enrich it beyond five percent, and 1700 01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:49.359 I will even be generous in say seven. There's no 1701 01:32:49.439 --> 01:32:52.720 reason for you to have seven percent enriched nuclear power 1702 01:32:52.760 --> 01:32:57.560 can be done very successfully at three. Anything above five 1703 01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:01.239 is get like there's only your only aiming for weaponization 1704 01:33:01.359 --> 01:33:04.760 at that point, that there's anyway amid the threats of 1705 01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:08.199 military actions. The US has also demanded preconditions for a 1706 01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:12.079 meeting with Iranian officials, including a permanent into uranium enrichment 1707 01:33:12.199 --> 01:33:16.239 central to Iran's nuclear program, new curves on Iranians or 1708 01:33:16.279 --> 01:33:20.079 Iran's ballistic missile program, and halting all support for Iranian 1709 01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.319 proxies in the region. Yeah, no more funding terrorism, dude. 1710 01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:25.600 I know that's a hot take, but yeah, enough of 1711 01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:28.960 that shit. The biggest sticking point, source is said, has 1712 01:33:29.000 --> 01:33:32.119 been the US demand that Iran agreed to pull limits 1713 01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:35.479 on the range of its ballistic missiles an accurate concern 1714 01:33:35.560 --> 01:33:38.119 for Israel, or excuse me, an acute concern for Israel, 1715 01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:41.680 which expended much of its missile interceptor stockpile shooting down 1716 01:33:41.680 --> 01:33:45.880 Iranian ballistic missiles during last June's twelve day war. Iran 1717 01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:49.319 has balked at that and told the US it would 1718 01:33:49.359 --> 01:33:52.840 only discuss its nuclear program. So they're not going to 1719 01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:55.079 talk about the range of their missiles. They're only going 1720 01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:58.560 to talk about this whole nuclear conversation. The US has 1721 01:33:58.600 --> 01:34:02.279 not replied, leaving both sides the dead end. The official. 1722 01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:05.680 The US official on Monday said the administration is still 1723 01:34:05.680 --> 01:34:08.640 willing to engage with Iran as long as they know 1724 01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:11.760 what the terms are. We are open for business, as 1725 01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:14.520 they say, so if they want to contact us and 1726 01:34:14.560 --> 01:34:16.479 they know what the terms are, then we're gonna have 1727 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:19.920 the conversation. The official would not give details on terms, 1728 01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:23.000 but said they've been reported throughout the entire beginning of 1729 01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:26.600 Trump's administration, so they are aware of the terms. Still, 1730 01:34:26.720 --> 01:34:29.680 the US is preparing for possible action. The US military 1731 01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:32.279 has been moving air defense systems to the region, including 1732 01:34:32.359 --> 01:34:36.000 additional Patriot batteries, to help protect US forces there from 1733 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:40.119 possible Iranian retaliation. The US is also planning to move 1734 01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.319 one or more THAD missile defense systems to the region. 1735 01:34:44.119 --> 01:34:47.359 That is also the next level. The FADS are there now. 1736 01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:52.800 It's yeah, we're probably going to be doing something against 1737 01:34:52.800 --> 01:34:53.479 Iran soon. 1738 01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:55.159 I just think so. 1739 01:34:55.399 --> 01:34:58.479 I could be wrong. I've been wrong before, but man, 1740 01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:00.880 that's a lot of that. It's a lot of ass 1741 01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:04.600 and that's a lot of equipment to move to that 1742 01:35:04.760 --> 01:35:08.439 area to sit there and do nothing. Same thing about 1743 01:35:08.520 --> 01:35:11.760 Maduro for the record, same thing about Venezuela. We moved 1744 01:35:11.760 --> 01:35:17.159 an entire carrier division into the waters and just to 1745 01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:20.000 sit there and watch them for a while. No, we 1746 01:35:20.079 --> 01:35:23.199 went and York to the bastard. We had that just 1747 01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:25.520 in case things when sits up. But like we had 1748 01:35:25.560 --> 01:35:28.119 to get him out of there. The Ayatola was just 1749 01:35:28.159 --> 01:35:31.960 recently talking about fleeing to Moscow. Some reports said that 1750 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:34.359 he had already fleed, some reports said that he was 1751 01:35:34.439 --> 01:35:35.239 just talking about it. 1752 01:35:35.279 --> 01:35:38.039 But my point is Iran is still talking that shit. 1753 01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:40.520 And then on top of all of that the human 1754 01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:43.159 rights violations that they have done to their own people, 1755 01:35:43.720 --> 01:35:45.760 which you know what, we might as well, We might 1756 01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:47.520 as well just go over to the next article here. 1757 01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:53.399 This is from Iran International dot com. Okay, over thirty 1758 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:58.800 six thousand, five hundred killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents revealed. 1759 01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:02.600 This is from January twenty fifth. Right here on screen, 1760 01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:06.479 men's men stand amid rows of corpses in a morgue 1761 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:10.000 in Tehran following mass killings of protesters by security forces 1762 01:36:10.199 --> 01:36:13.720 in this undated image obtained by Iran International. 1763 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:15.640 Let's read about it, y'all. 1764 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:19.359 More than thirty six thousand, five hundred Iranians were killed 1765 01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:22.760 by security forces during the January eighth to ninth crackdown 1766 01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:26.359 on national nationwide protests, making it the deadliest two day 1767 01:36:26.399 --> 01:36:30.479 massacre in history, according to documents reviewed by. 1768 01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:32.399 Iran Air National's editorial board. 1769 01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:40.880 Y'all, I can't put into proper perspective what that looks like. Okay, 1770 01:36:41.880 --> 01:36:46.640 Entire wars have been fought over the course of years 1771 01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:51.079 without that many people murdered in that amount of time. 1772 01:36:52.239 --> 01:36:57.239 Iran is now in the same company with the Nazis 1773 01:36:57.800 --> 01:36:59.680 as far as the and I had to do. 1774 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:00.920 Some real digging into this one. 1775 01:37:01.359 --> 01:37:07.079 The only time in history that thirty thousand people were 1776 01:37:07.199 --> 01:37:13.119 executed in two days in recent history, anyway, was when 1777 01:37:13.399 --> 01:37:17.239 the Nazis went to a specific section of Ukraine and 1778 01:37:17.600 --> 01:37:22.600 dug mass burials for Jews and slaughtered them. 1779 01:37:23.079 --> 01:37:25.520 And that was with the Einsberg Sea Division. 1780 01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:30.239 I'm not mistaken, and that's specifically what happened. There's very 1781 01:37:30.239 --> 01:37:34.560 famous pictures of it's like the last Jew in Ukraine 1782 01:37:34.680 --> 01:37:36.960 or something like that, this dude is standing there kneel, 1783 01:37:37.199 --> 01:37:39.840 kneeling over a mass grave, and there's a Nazi with 1784 01:37:39.880 --> 01:37:42.319 a gun to the back of his head. Half a 1785 01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:45.640 second before the dew was shot. That mass grave had 1786 01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:49.439 around thirty thousand people in it, and that was over 1787 01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:53.800 the course of three days. Iran crunched that number and 1788 01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:59.079 went more in depth in two days to their own citizens. 1789 01:38:00.920 --> 01:38:04.800 I don't feel like people can properly put that into perspective. 1790 01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:13.479 But yeah, before I read Samwich, you got. 1791 01:38:10.840 --> 01:38:11.680 Yeah, So. 1792 01:38:13.119 --> 01:38:17.600 Besides that, how many during the rape of Nanking, how 1793 01:38:17.640 --> 01:38:21.840 many Chinese was stunted by the Japanese? Also, I'm not 1794 01:38:21.920 --> 01:38:23.960 saying one as worse than the other. I'm just saying 1795 01:38:23.960 --> 01:38:26.840 that wasn't that like one hundred thousand tiled in a 1796 01:38:26.840 --> 01:38:27.720 couple of days too? 1797 01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:28.800 Look it up. 1798 01:38:28.840 --> 01:38:30.680 I don't know off the top what that number is 1799 01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:33.319 and how long the time span was. And I'm not 1800 01:38:33.359 --> 01:38:35.960 saying there wasn't battles where hundreds of thousands of dudes 1801 01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:41.680 died over the course of multiple days, two days, two days, 1802 01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:46.159 not even forty eight whole hours. Like it's it's crazy 1803 01:38:46.159 --> 01:38:49.000 that this took place to this level this quickly, and 1804 01:38:49.039 --> 01:38:51.880 then even still some reports are saying that there's one 1805 01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:54.960 hundred thousand injured. I'm seeing some reports saying three hundred 1806 01:38:55.000 --> 01:38:57.000 thousand injured. And I don't know to what level they're 1807 01:38:57.000 --> 01:38:59.920 calling it injury, Like if somebody inhaled some tear gas, 1808 01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:04.479 is that technically considered injured or is that, you know, 1809 01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:07.159 just kind of a you know, it's whatever. By injury, 1810 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:09.880 do they mean a rolled ankle from a protester running 1811 01:39:09.880 --> 01:39:12.039 from the gunshots? Do they mean hit with rubber bullets 1812 01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:15.039 or shrapnel? Do they mean an actual bullet to the knee? 1813 01:39:15.079 --> 01:39:15.159 Like? 1814 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:20.600 I don't know, but even still, that is wild. 1815 01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:25.039 During the rape of Nan King, between forty thousand and 1816 01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:30.079 over three hundred thousand Chinese civilians and surrendered soldiers were 1817 01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:36.119 killed by over the six week period beginning December thirteenth, 1818 01:39:36.199 --> 01:39:39.720 nineteen thirty seven, with the highest concentration of killings in 1819 01:39:39.720 --> 01:39:43.319 the first five days. Oh While figures very a widely 1820 01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:46.640 accepted range of the massacred within the city walls is 1821 01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:49.199 over forty thousand to under two hundred thousand, while total 1822 01:39:49.239 --> 01:39:53.560 water estimates sometimes exceed over three hundred thousand. The peak 1823 01:39:53.600 --> 01:39:57.960 of the violence Ofughly occurred between six six weeks of 1824 01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:02.000 the city's fall. On the st nineteen thirty seven, around 1825 01:40:02.039 --> 01:40:04.319 fifty thousand were killed in the first five days alone. 1826 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:07.600 Okay, so fifty thousand and five days, right, so that 1827 01:40:07.840 --> 01:40:14.279 ten thousand per day. Iran just trump that, God damn right, 1828 01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:17.760 ten thousand a day. Iran's like, nah, how about those 1829 01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:19.840 are rookie numbers? How about fifteen and a half. 1830 01:40:20.600 --> 01:40:23.960 And keep in mind the Japanese doing that. They were that. 1831 01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:28.079 There's pictures of the Japanese with their katanas and Ya 1832 01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:33.279 Kisashi's standing behind Chinese bound gett having a competition of 1833 01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:37.640 seam who can sever the most heads in the in 1834 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:42.720 the least amount of swings. Yeah, and it was two 1835 01:40:43.079 --> 01:40:46.600 Japanese officers who actually had the tie for the most 1836 01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:50.000 of them. And they did not get tried for war crimes. 1837 01:40:50.239 --> 01:40:52.479 Nope, nobody Japan did. 1838 01:40:53.399 --> 01:40:56.520 Is it because they got new twice basically? 1839 01:40:56.920 --> 01:41:00.479 And also because the unit seven thirty seven it was 1840 01:41:00.479 --> 01:41:04.720 called I Forget, which yeah, seven seven. A lot of 1841 01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:11.119 our understanding of the human physiology comes from their inhumane 1842 01:41:11.640 --> 01:41:16.000 and animalistic experiments that they did on POW's. 1843 01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:18.600 They turned people into live beef jerky. 1844 01:41:18.760 --> 01:41:23.279 Well, that was just one experiment although that is how 1845 01:41:23.319 --> 01:41:24.960 we know that the human body is made up of 1846 01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:30.560 seventy percent water. They had hundreds thousands of experiments that 1847 01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:32.920 they did on these POWs. 1848 01:41:32.520 --> 01:41:38.119 That we use today. Yeah, they even blinded people just 1849 01:41:38.159 --> 01:41:41.560 to see what would happen. You'd like the Nazis committed 1850 01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:47.319 more like crimes against you. Like, they pretty much committed 1851 01:41:47.359 --> 01:41:49.760 the same amount of crimes against humanity. It was just 1852 01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:54.479 the Japanese was a lot more well hidden. 1853 01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:59.000 Yeah, yeah, and so cut into the whole the whole 1854 01:41:59.079 --> 01:42:01.279 situation about how many they killed in one day and 1855 01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:04.359 all these things. The Iranian government just did this to 1856 01:42:04.399 --> 01:42:07.159 their own people. Like. This is why some are claiming 1857 01:42:07.159 --> 01:42:10.520 that this might be towards the realm of genocide. However, 1858 01:42:10.840 --> 01:42:13.960 as Ravenlee pointed out last night, there's a few key 1859 01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:16.920 checks and boxes that can't be done as far as 1860 01:42:16.960 --> 01:42:20.359 this goes to classified as a genocide. So anyway, so 1861 01:42:20.720 --> 01:42:24.560 Iran International's editorial board can confirm the death toll after 1862 01:42:24.640 --> 01:42:29.279 reviewing newly obtained classified documents, field reports, and accounts for 1863 01:42:29.319 --> 01:42:32.800 medical staff, witnesses, and victims family. The new information provides 1864 01:42:32.840 --> 01:42:35.359 a clearer picture of the killing pattern and scale of 1865 01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:37.640 a crime that can now be described as the largest 1866 01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:41.720 and bloodiest massacre of civilians during street protests over a 1867 01:42:41.760 --> 01:42:45.840 two day period in history. Iran International has received reports 1868 01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:50.119 and evidence indicating the extra judicial execution of a number 1869 01:42:50.119 --> 01:42:53.920 of detainees in Tehran and other cities. Images released from 1870 01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:57.279 Morgsley little doubt that some wounded citizens were shot in 1871 01:42:57.279 --> 01:43:01.199 the head while hospitalized and undergoing medical treatments. This is 1872 01:43:01.239 --> 01:43:05.079 evident that had these individuals sustained fatal head wounds on 1873 01:43:05.119 --> 01:43:07.560 the streets, there would have been no reason to admit 1874 01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:10.960 them to hospitals or begin treatment in the first place, 1875 01:43:11.720 --> 01:43:13.880 so they had soldiers going to the hospital to find 1876 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:17.640 these protesters to finish the job. The images also showed 1877 01:43:17.720 --> 01:43:20.960 that in some cases, medical tubes and patient monitoring equipment 1878 01:43:21.039 --> 01:43:24.680 remained attached to the bodies. In other cases, cardiac monitoring 1879 01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:28.239 electrodes were visible on the chest, suggesting these individuals were 1880 01:43:28.319 --> 01:43:31.399 under medical care before being shot in the head. A 1881 01:43:31.479 --> 01:43:34.399 number of doctors and nurses have also told Iran Air 1882 01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:39.039 National that so called finishing shots quote unquote were fired 1883 01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:43.399 at wounded patients. In its previous statement on January thirteenth, 1884 01:43:43.520 --> 01:43:46.680 Iran Air Nationals Editorial Board reported that at least twelve 1885 01:43:46.680 --> 01:43:50.920 thousand deaths caused by the crackdown. That figure was explicitly 1886 01:43:51.039 --> 01:43:55.720 cited in a report by the IRGC Intelligence Organization submitted 1887 01:43:55.760 --> 01:43:59.439 to the Supreme National Security Council and the Presidential Office 1888 01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:02.680 on January eleven, two days after the two day massacre, 1889 01:44:03.079 --> 01:44:07.159 reviewed by Iran International. So this was also over four 1890 01:44:07.239 --> 01:44:11.439 hundred cities, thirty six thy five hundred killed in four 1891 01:44:11.479 --> 01:44:15.279 hundred cities. Our editorial Board has now obtained more detailed 1892 01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:19.239 information provided by the IRGC Intelligence Organization and the Supreme 1893 01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:23.319 National Security Council. Other state institutions have also received differing 1894 01:44:23.319 --> 01:44:27.079 figures from other security bodies. However, given the scale of 1895 01:44:27.119 --> 01:44:30.199 the killings, deliberate concealment, and what appears to be an 1896 01:44:30.239 --> 01:44:34.000 intentional disorder in the registration and transfer of bodies, along 1897 01:44:34.039 --> 01:44:36.880 with pressure on families and in some cases the quiet 1898 01:44:36.960 --> 01:44:40.600 burial of victims, it appears that even the security agencies 1899 01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:44.479 themselves do not yet know precise final death tolls. In 1900 01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:48.199 a report presented on Wednesday, January twenty first to the 1901 01:44:48.239 --> 01:44:51.920 Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, seen by 1902 01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:55.199 Irani in International, the number of those killed was listed 1903 01:44:55.239 --> 01:44:59.720 as twenty seven thy five hundred. So even within in 1904 01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:02.359 how house, these numbers that some people are throwing out, 1905 01:45:02.399 --> 01:45:07.119 oh it's under ten thousand. Even Iran in house to 1906 01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:11.319 their own government has reported that it's at least twenty 1907 01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:15.640 seven thousand, five hundred dead in two days, and that 1908 01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:19.840 was a week ago. According to sources within Iran's Interior 1909 01:45:19.880 --> 01:45:24.840 Ministry who spoke to Irani and International on condition of anonymity, 1910 01:45:25.239 --> 01:45:29.199 the consolidation of figures received from provincial security councils on 1911 01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:32.960 by Tuesday, January twentieth showed the death toll had exceeded 1912 01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:37.239 thirty thousand. Two Informed sources from the Supreme National Security 1913 01:45:37.279 --> 01:45:40.520 Council also told Iran Air National that in two recent 1914 01:45:40.600 --> 01:45:44.960 reports by the RGC Intelligence Organization dated to January twenty 1915 01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:48.119 second and January twenty fourth, the number of those killed 1916 01:45:48.239 --> 01:45:51.680 was listed as more than thirty three thousand and more 1917 01:45:52.000 --> 01:45:56.279 than thirty six thousand, five hundred, respectively, So as they're 1918 01:45:56.319 --> 01:45:58.840 still saying that thirty six k is a low estimate, 1919 01:45:59.600 --> 01:46:04.119 Interior Ministry reports say security forces confronted demonstrators in more 1920 01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:06.720 than four hundred cities and towns, with more than four 1921 01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:11.640 thousand clash locations reported nationwide, despite the confusion and concealment, 1922 01:46:11.680 --> 01:46:14.359 The rapid increase in death toll figures in classified government 1923 01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:17.720 reports has heightened concerns that the actual number of those 1924 01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.840 killed might may be even higher. Now I fully agree 1925 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:26.079 with that conservative assessments by medical sources based on the 1926 01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:29.760 number of bodies delivered to hospitals and medical centers estimate more. 1927 01:46:29.800 --> 01:46:32.800 And I'm gonna butcher these pronouncing the pronunciations of cities. 1928 01:46:32.840 --> 01:46:36.319 I'm sorry, I can't pronounce these words. More than twenty 1929 01:46:36.319 --> 01:46:40.000 five hundred killed in Rasht, at least eighteen hundred killed 1930 01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:44.520 in Mashad, more than two thousand killed in Isfahan, Nasea 1931 01:46:44.560 --> 01:46:50.079 Babad and koras Gan. Sure at three thousand in karaj Shah, 1932 01:46:51.000 --> 01:46:57.920 Shahriar and Adishe, seven hundred in Kermanshah and four hundred 1933 01:46:57.960 --> 01:47:02.199 in Gorgan. So somebody with a calculator can do the 1934 01:47:02.199 --> 01:47:06.239 math on this. Twenty five hundred plus eighteen hundred plus 1935 01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:09.319 two thousand plus two thousand plus two thousand plus three 1936 01:47:09.399 --> 01:47:12.720 thousand plus three thousand plus three thousand plus seven hundred 1937 01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:16.239 plus four hundred. You do the math on that and 1938 01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:17.319 let me know what you get back. 1939 01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:18.920 With no clear. 1940 01:47:18.800 --> 01:47:21.439 Average, those numbers again slower please. 1941 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:22.239 Yeah, no doubt. 1942 01:47:22.279 --> 01:47:26.760 So twenty five hundred plus five hundred plus eighteen hundred 1943 01:47:27.439 --> 01:47:32.760 plus eighteen hundred plus two thousand plus two thousand plus 1944 01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:33.960 two thousand. 1945 01:47:34.920 --> 01:47:40.439 So plus six hundred thousand, six thousand, oh plus six thousand. 1946 01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:44.640 Plus Okay, we're doing that then plus nine thousand plus 1947 01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:47.000 nine thousand plus seven hundred. 1948 01:47:47.560 --> 01:47:53.520 Plus seven hundred plus four hundred plus four hundred. 1949 01:47:54.439 --> 01:47:56.359 These are conservative estimates. 1950 01:47:56.760 --> 01:47:59.720 That is twenty thousand and four hundred. 1951 01:48:00.159 --> 01:48:04.399 So the lowest estimate we have from medical personnel in 1952 01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:11.159 the country are saying over twenty thousand. Yeah, yeah, So 1953 01:48:11.479 --> 01:48:15.560 no clear aggregate figure has yet been obtained for Tehran. However, 1954 01:48:15.640 --> 01:48:19.159 images released from the Karizak Morgue and hospitals across the 1955 01:48:19.199 --> 01:48:22.960 capitol indicate thousands were killed in Tehran, with significant proportions 1956 01:48:22.960 --> 01:48:26.800 of the deaths occurring in southern Tehran. Uh And to 1957 01:48:26.840 --> 01:48:30.319 be honest with you, Tehran wasn't even listed in the 1958 01:48:30.359 --> 01:48:34.479 list that we just read off, so who's to say anyway. 1959 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:36.880 I didn't want to spend too much time on this, 1960 01:48:36.960 --> 01:48:39.000 but what I am saying is that Tehran just had 1961 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:43.000 a massive or Iran Iran the country Iran whatever fuck 1962 01:48:43.039 --> 01:48:45.800 you want to pronounce. It just suffered a massive human 1963 01:48:45.880 --> 01:48:51.840 rights violation, and perhaps the Trump administration will be using 1964 01:48:51.880 --> 01:48:55.039 this as motivation to go up in there and give 1965 01:48:55.079 --> 01:48:58.920 those people some freedom. I don't know. I don't know, 1966 01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:02.399 but it's worth mentioning. So I figured we could bring 1967 01:49:02.439 --> 01:49:05.439 it up on this episode while we are also talking 1968 01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:10.600 about Trump. Let's talk about this now. Minnesota Governor Walls 1969 01:49:10.720 --> 01:49:14.520 says President Trump agreed to consider reducing federal agents in 1970 01:49:14.640 --> 01:49:19.479 his state. President Trump's post Monday was a change of tune, 1971 01:49:19.520 --> 01:49:23.439 as he threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and send 1972 01:49:23.439 --> 01:49:25.319 federal troops into Minnesota. 1973 01:49:26.000 --> 01:49:27.159 So this is from Minneapolis. 1974 01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:30.680 President Trump has shared Monday that he and Minnesota Governor 1975 01:49:30.720 --> 01:49:34.880 Tim Walls bitch are now on a similar wavelength quote 1976 01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:37.880 unquote about federal agents in the state. The President said 1977 01:49:37.920 --> 01:49:40.239 he called the governor in a post he shared on 1978 01:49:40.279 --> 01:49:44.119 Troops Social This comes after Ice agents shot three people 1979 01:49:44.159 --> 01:49:47.880 in Minneapolis, killing two. Trump has threatened to invoke the 1980 01:49:48.000 --> 01:49:50.960 Insurrection Act and sending in federal troops to Minnesota after 1981 01:49:51.039 --> 01:49:54.640 thousands of residents have been on the streets protesting. But 1982 01:49:55.000 --> 01:49:58.720 on Monday, Trump changed his tone. He announced borders are 1983 01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:04.199 tom Homuns. Homan's Hammans visit to Minnesota on Monday night 1984 01:50:04.279 --> 01:50:07.279 and told Walls he'd have home and call him. I 1985 01:50:07.359 --> 01:50:10.119 told Governor Walls that I would have Tom Homan call him, 1986 01:50:10.479 --> 01:50:14.560 and that what we are looking for are any and 1987 01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:17.119 all criminals that they have in their possession. 1988 01:50:17.239 --> 01:50:18.479 Trump stated in his post. 1989 01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:21.960 The governor very respectfully understood that, and I will be 1990 01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:25.159 speaking with him in the near future. The Governor's office 1991 01:50:25.199 --> 01:50:28.520 also released a statement calling the conversation with the President productive. 1992 01:50:28.880 --> 01:50:31.479 Walls also said that Trump agreed to talk to his 1993 01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:35.960 immigration officials about allowing the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension 1994 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:40.039 to conduct independent investigations into recent shootings, and to work 1995 01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:42.840 out a plan to reduce the number of immigration officers 1996 01:50:42.880 --> 01:50:45.600 in the state. The President agreed. This is a direct 1997 01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:49.840 quote here from the Governor's office. The President agreed that 1998 01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:52.399 he would talk to the Department of Homeland Security about 1999 01:50:52.439 --> 01:50:55.720 ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to 2000 01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:59.119 conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case. 2001 01:50:59.399 --> 01:51:03.000 The President also agreed to look into reducing the number 2002 01:51:03.039 --> 01:51:05.600 of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state 2003 01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:08.640 in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement. 2004 01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:10.279 Regarding violent criminals. 2005 01:51:10.640 --> 01:51:13.520 The governor reminded President Trump that the Minnesota Department of 2006 01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:19.079 Corrections already honors federal detainees or detainers by notifying Immigration 2007 01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:22.239 and Customs Enforcement when a person committed. 2008 01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:24.199 To its custody isn't a US citizen. 2009 01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:27.000 There is not a single documented case of the Department's 2010 01:51:27.039 --> 01:51:30.399 releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a 2011 01:51:30.399 --> 01:51:34.840 smooth transfer of custody. Walls repeatedly called for the federal agents, 2012 01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:39.439 including Ice and Border Patrol, to leave Minnesota. So I 2013 01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:42.039 was on TikTok Live before we started shooting this episode, 2014 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:43.640 and someone asked if we were going to do an 2015 01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:48.880 episode about the situation of Minnesota. I overviewed the footage, 2016 01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:51.560 not from the mom that tried to run over the 2017 01:51:51.600 --> 01:51:54.640 ICE agent that was. I don't know what she was 2018 01:51:54.680 --> 01:51:58.119 expecting on that one, but okay, the one that just 2019 01:51:58.159 --> 01:52:05.319 took place. I have reviewed footage from multiple angles, and 2020 01:52:06.560 --> 01:52:09.399 I am still not convinced that it wasn't the weapon 2021 01:52:09.479 --> 01:52:13.039 itself going off, because it was in fact a six 2022 01:52:13.159 --> 01:52:16.319 hour p. Three twenty. And if anybody knows anything about 2023 01:52:16.359 --> 01:52:19.159 sig sour p. Three twenty, there's a reason why the 2024 01:52:19.239 --> 01:52:22.159 United States military no longer can carry it. Why and 2025 01:52:22.279 --> 01:52:25.119 cops and agents are no longer able to carry it, 2026 01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:28.720 and why they're not allowed on most gun ranges because 2027 01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:31.159 the old adage about how guns don't kill people, people 2028 01:52:31.239 --> 01:52:35.479 kill people. No, this particular sig has a factory default 2029 01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:38.800 in it that sig still will not fully acknowledge to 2030 01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:43.520 where it has got multiple multiple I'm not gonna say hundreds, 2031 01:52:43.560 --> 01:52:46.680 but there is a substantial number of cases of it 2032 01:52:46.800 --> 01:52:49.960 going off in the holster without any finger on the 2033 01:52:49.960 --> 01:52:53.279 trigger or anything like that. And there's YouTube videos out 2034 01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:56.159 if anybody wants to watch them of how that's happening, 2035 01:52:56.720 --> 01:52:58.680 and not just like of Gore porn like, it's not 2036 01:52:58.720 --> 01:53:01.000 like that. It's like this dude is taking blank rounds 2037 01:53:01.000 --> 01:53:04.680 and he's showing when the slide is barely barely kicked 2038 01:53:04.720 --> 01:53:07.640 back and there's a jolt to the weapon, it will fire. 2039 01:53:08.920 --> 01:53:12.479 That is the weapon that your boy was carrying. So 2040 01:53:13.720 --> 01:53:16.439 the Ice agents were detaining him, he was on the ground. 2041 01:53:17.000 --> 01:53:19.880 You see an agent grab the gun from his waist, 2042 01:53:20.079 --> 01:53:24.000 the P three twenty, and he is moving away. Next thing, 2043 01:53:24.039 --> 01:53:26.680 you hear his gun gun, gun, and you hear gunshot, 2044 01:53:26.840 --> 01:53:28.159 and then multiple gunshots. 2045 01:53:29.359 --> 01:53:29.800 I don't. 2046 01:53:29.920 --> 01:53:33.119 I can't tell from any of the footage who fired 2047 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:37.119 the first shot. Was it a bad judgment called by ice? 2048 01:53:37.840 --> 01:53:39.560 Was it the P three twenty that went off in 2049 01:53:39.560 --> 01:53:41.640 the dude's hand and the other cops just heard a 2050 01:53:41.640 --> 01:53:44.640 gun shot and heard someone say gun so they just 2051 01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:46.520 dumped on I don't know. 2052 01:53:47.760 --> 01:53:48.600 As of this moment. 2053 01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:52.640 The situation is way too there's way too many unknown 2054 01:53:52.720 --> 01:53:55.399 variables for me to speak intelligently on it one way 2055 01:53:55.479 --> 01:53:55.920 or another. 2056 01:53:56.479 --> 01:53:58.520 And I don't believe that the Cult. 2057 01:53:58.239 --> 01:54:00.760 Of Conspiracy is going to be doing an episodisode on it, 2058 01:54:01.359 --> 01:54:04.239 at least not until way more information comes out about it, 2059 01:54:04.279 --> 01:54:08.920 because at this point it's just opinion based dialogue and that's. 2060 01:54:08.760 --> 01:54:10.119 All anyone's doing on it. 2061 01:54:10.159 --> 01:54:12.359 And I'm not going to add fuel to that fire, 2062 01:54:13.000 --> 01:54:15.800 so that that's where we're at with it. But yeah, 2063 01:54:16.119 --> 01:54:20.439 apparently this has now spurned Trump to possibly remove some agents. 2064 01:54:20.640 --> 01:54:22.560 Who knows Sam go ahead? 2065 01:54:25.000 --> 01:54:27.359 I was, I was gonna say, isn't it due to 2066 01:54:27.479 --> 01:54:29.800 the trigger to being shortened? 2067 01:54:30.960 --> 01:54:32.840 I am not sure if it's the Seer or if 2068 01:54:32.880 --> 01:54:36.199 it's the chamber itself, But yes, the P three twenty 2069 01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:40.359 has an inherent problem, and SIG refuses to acknowledge it. 2070 01:54:41.359 --> 01:54:45.319 Yeah, because the amine that that was killed by it, 2071 01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:48.800 he's literally he literally took it off of took it 2072 01:54:49.239 --> 01:54:51.359 off of like the host and everything, off of his 2073 01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:55.119 belt and laid it on the it was it laid 2074 01:54:55.159 --> 01:54:57.560 it on his desk, and it shot him. 2075 01:54:57.880 --> 01:55:01.840 That's actually not true, that's not sure. So that was 2076 01:55:01.880 --> 01:55:05.159 the story. That was the story that everybody was talking about. 2077 01:55:05.520 --> 01:55:07.840 That was the reason why the military said we're not 2078 01:55:07.880 --> 01:55:11.840 carrying this weapon anymore, and that order still stands. However, 2079 01:55:12.680 --> 01:55:16.399 more information came out later that no, the airmen that 2080 01:55:16.560 --> 01:55:19.600 was shot was because of one of his other airmen buddies, 2081 01:55:19.640 --> 01:55:22.399 they were MPs. Took the gun out of the holster 2082 01:55:22.560 --> 01:55:25.319 and was playing around with it. He wasn't even like 2083 01:55:25.359 --> 01:55:28.319 thinking he was dry firing it. The mag was inserted 2084 01:55:29.079 --> 01:55:31.439 and he was like pow pow, pow pow pow with 2085 01:55:31.479 --> 01:55:35.880 his finger and it went off. He actually indeed into 2086 01:55:36.039 --> 01:55:39.600 his coworker and tried to make it sound like, oh, 2087 01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:41.840 the gun just went off, because you know these things 2088 01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:44.640 are faulty like that. No, he's he's got charges. 2089 01:55:44.680 --> 01:55:50.560 Now, this is why you all you don't play with 2090 01:55:50.680 --> 01:55:53.880 a loaded gun. Tree every gun loaded. 2091 01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:57.039 Yes, and literally the first weapon safety rule that. 2092 01:55:57.279 --> 01:56:00.560 And you think being a MP and being in the 2093 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:03.800 air force, I understand air force, we don't need guns 2094 01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:07.079 because the chasing point they you can't trust him with it. 2095 01:56:07.359 --> 01:56:11.600 But like you're a fucking cop dog, you of all 2096 01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:13.920 people should and you're in the military, you of all 2097 01:56:13.960 --> 01:56:19.079 people should know, Hey, these things are tools. Don't fucking 2098 01:56:19.119 --> 01:56:20.479 play with them. Yeah. 2099 01:56:20.560 --> 01:56:23.520 Anger Cops did a whole expose on that one because 2100 01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:26.039 he talked about it initially with it being the P 2101 01:56:26.199 --> 01:56:29.640 three twenties fault. Then like two weeks later he released 2102 01:56:29.680 --> 01:56:32.920 another video about how nope, that's not the case because 2103 01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:35.119 one of the guys that was in the room basically 2104 01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:37.439 the shot went off, dude got shot, and there was 2105 01:56:37.479 --> 01:56:39.960 like three guys that were still standing, and like the 2106 01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:42.359 dude that pulled the triggers, like, okay, here's the story, 2107 01:56:42.800 --> 01:56:43.640 we're gonna run with it. 2108 01:56:43.880 --> 01:56:45.279 Let's go, we gotta go report this. 2109 01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:47.640 One of the guys later had a change of heart 2110 01:56:47.840 --> 01:56:51.439 and like found his integrity and came for and was like, no, 2111 01:56:52.000 --> 01:56:53.079 this was a homicide. 2112 01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:55.680 This wasn't this wasn't a accident. 2113 01:56:57.119 --> 01:57:04.039 So not only that he could he fundy fire blue 2114 01:57:04.079 --> 01:57:07.399 on blue it's safe to say, because. 2115 01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:11.840 Yeah, although the guy claims that it wasn't intended, he 2116 01:57:11.880 --> 01:57:14.920 was just trying to fuck around, but it doesn't negate 2117 01:57:14.960 --> 01:57:17.640 the fact that this is now considered a homicide. 2118 01:57:18.920 --> 01:57:24.880 So at that point, what what? What do you think 2119 01:57:24.960 --> 01:57:25.279 he like? 2120 01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:26.159 What what? 2121 01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:29.439 Oh, he'll get twenty in Levenworth. 2122 01:57:32.079 --> 01:57:34.840 I was ci a black site. 2123 01:57:35.880 --> 01:57:38.880 I think Levenworth honestly, because it's not like this was 2124 01:57:38.920 --> 01:57:43.119 a weakening of the defensive posture of our national security 2125 01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:43.880 or anything like that. 2126 01:57:43.960 --> 01:57:47.159 This was a dumb ass who did dumb ass things. 2127 01:57:47.439 --> 01:57:51.520 So he'll definitely get the punishment for it, and the 2128 01:57:51.600 --> 01:57:54.520 dude who lied on his behalf will probably get some 2129 01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:58.199 sort of reprimand as well. But yeah, no, he's he's 2130 01:57:58.319 --> 01:58:00.720 it's gonna be prison time. It's the same thing as 2131 01:58:00.760 --> 01:58:02.600 if you and your buddy is hanging out at the 2132 01:58:02.600 --> 01:58:05.159 house playing around with a gun and it goes off 2133 01:58:05.159 --> 01:58:06.199 and one of you die. 2134 01:58:06.319 --> 01:58:08.279 It wasn't murdering the first degree. 2135 01:58:08.960 --> 01:58:15.039 It's also not manslaughter, you know, it's it's it's classified 2136 01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:17.920 as something else, and it's it's gonna it's a murder. 2137 01:58:18.399 --> 01:58:20.000 It's either way you slice it. 2138 01:58:20.239 --> 01:58:23.640 So it's yeah, anyway, But back to the situation. As 2139 01:58:23.640 --> 01:58:26.880 far as Minnesota and this whole Ice situation goes, I 2140 01:58:26.920 --> 01:58:27.680 don't know what. 2141 01:58:27.680 --> 01:58:28.680 The guilty party is. 2142 01:58:28.800 --> 01:58:34.439 If SIG sour that fucking P three twenty is actually 2143 01:58:35.359 --> 01:58:37.960 the reason. If that is in fact the case of 2144 01:58:38.039 --> 01:58:41.279 what happened here, SIG will probably. 2145 01:58:41.359 --> 01:58:43.560 Go bankrupt after this one. 2146 01:58:43.640 --> 01:58:46.920 But anyway, moving on, as we are still talking about 2147 01:58:46.920 --> 01:58:53.159 old minisult elan Omar says Trump's hateful rhetoric causes threats 2148 01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:57.880 against her to Skyrocket, yeah, that's why. A day after 2149 01:58:58.039 --> 01:59:00.920 a man charged her at the podium at town hall 2150 01:59:00.960 --> 01:59:05.000 in Minnesota, Representative elan Omar at a news conference Wednesday, 2151 01:59:05.039 --> 01:59:08.239 pinned the blame on President Trump because everything must be 2152 01:59:08.279 --> 01:59:12.479 Trump's faults. Obviously, blame is very interesting, but facts are 2153 01:59:12.479 --> 01:59:19.520 more important. I agree. I agree with that sentiment. Let's continue. 2154 01:59:20.000 --> 01:59:22.159 And what the facts have shown since I've gotten into 2155 01:59:22.239 --> 01:59:24.359 elected office is that every time the President of the 2156 01:59:24.479 --> 01:59:26.760 United States has chosen to use hateful rhetoric to talk 2157 01:59:26.800 --> 01:59:30.720 about me and the community that I represent, my death threats. 2158 01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:39.760 Skyrocket Omar said, Yeah, that's that's why. That's that's why 2159 01:59:39.800 --> 01:59:42.840 the death threats have continued. It has nothing to do 2160 01:59:42.960 --> 01:59:45.920 with you being a raging piece of shit. Has nothing 2161 01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:48.880 to do with you representing an area that has been 2162 01:59:49.359 --> 01:59:56.000 funding terrorist organizations through tax dollars, through charity outreaches. It's 2163 01:59:56.039 --> 01:59:58.399 got nothing to do with it, all right, Hot take 2164 01:59:59.079 --> 02:00:02.840 only hot takes here the cage to night. In Tuesday's incident, 2165 02:00:03.039 --> 02:00:08.159 police say fifty five year old Anthony Kazmaraz Kasmira, Zach 2166 02:00:09.560 --> 02:00:13.680 Jesus these names, was observed by officers using a syringe 2167 02:00:13.720 --> 02:00:16.520 to spread an unknown liquid onto the congresswoman. 2168 02:00:18.920 --> 02:00:22.279 I could make a joke about a certain. 2169 02:00:22.079 --> 02:00:25.960 Group of people being known for throwing acid in women's faces, 2170 02:00:26.279 --> 02:00:27.239 but I'm not gonna do that. 2171 02:00:27.880 --> 02:00:28.720 I'm not gonna do that. 2172 02:00:31.000 --> 02:00:35.840 Kazmera zak Sure was arrested and booked into Hannapin County 2173 02:00:35.920 --> 02:00:38.039 Jail on suspicion of third degree assault. 2174 02:00:38.560 --> 02:00:40.479 Minneapolis police said. 2175 02:00:40.600 --> 02:00:44.680 Preliminary reports indicate the liquid was non toxic, The county attorney, 2176 02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:50.439 Mary Moriarty said Wednesday. Asked Wednesday about the attack, Omar 2177 02:00:50.479 --> 02:00:52.640 said the man who attacked her quote. 2178 02:00:52.399 --> 02:00:54.039 Was specifically upset that. 2179 02:00:54.000 --> 02:00:57.880 Trump's order to deport Somalis was not yielding enough deportations 2180 02:00:57.880 --> 02:01:00.600 of Somali's so he wanted to come get the person 2181 02:01:00.640 --> 02:01:04.119 he thought was protecting the Somalis question mark. 2182 02:01:05.640 --> 02:01:06.039 All right. 2183 02:01:07.479 --> 02:01:10.640 Neither the FBI, which took over the investigation on Wednesday, 2184 02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:14.439 or Minneapolis police have commented on a motive of the attack. 2185 02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:17.680 Omar has been the target of verbal attacks from the 2186 02:01:17.680 --> 02:01:21.439 Trump or from Trump for years. More recently, his attacks 2187 02:01:21.479 --> 02:01:25.000 have come alongside escalated rhetoric, describing the Somali community in 2188 02:01:25.079 --> 02:01:28.880 Minnesota the largest in the nation. Yeah, again, that's not 2189 02:01:29.119 --> 02:01:35.600 like unfounded. We've done a whole talk about that on 2190 02:01:35.680 --> 02:01:36.720 the Call to Conspiracy. 2191 02:01:36.760 --> 02:01:40.279 Actually, but all right. In the past several weeks, Trump 2192 02:01:40.359 --> 02:01:43.960 called Omar a fake sleees bag and called for her 2193 02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:46.920 to be thrown out of the US. I second the motion, 2194 02:01:47.039 --> 02:01:49.439 by the way, on both of those. In a phone 2195 02:01:49.439 --> 02:01:53.960 interview Tuesday evening with ABC News Senior political correspondent Rachel Scott, 2196 02:01:54.319 --> 02:01:56.600 Trump said he hasn't seen the video of the incident 2197 02:01:56.680 --> 02:02:00.600 in the accused Omar without providing evidence of possible staging 2198 02:02:00.600 --> 02:02:05.760 the attack. Which is interesting because, as our resident Jewish 2199 02:02:05.800 --> 02:02:10.680 correspondent sent earlier, there is a picture of Omar and 2200 02:02:10.760 --> 02:02:13.600 your guy that sprayed her with the syringe holding a 2201 02:02:13.640 --> 02:02:19.479 stack of cash right before the event took place. Regardless 2202 02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:21.760 if there was a stack of cash. There's a picture 2203 02:02:21.760 --> 02:02:22.199 of these. 2204 02:02:22.079 --> 02:02:24.000 Two smiling standing next to each other, and you could 2205 02:02:24.000 --> 02:02:25.680 tell you the same day because wearing the same clothing. 2206 02:02:26.079 --> 02:02:30.319 Now is that image AI generated? I don't believe so 2207 02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:33.880 the sources would indicate that that is not true, but hey. 2208 02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:35.079 Who knows. 2209 02:02:35.159 --> 02:02:38.359 And I guess, especially if she's being sprayed within a 2210 02:02:38.520 --> 02:02:42.079 non toxic substance and she got not even eye or 2211 02:02:42.119 --> 02:02:44.479 skinny irritation. It wasn't even like it was nail polish remover. 2212 02:02:45.319 --> 02:02:46.439 It was very likely water. 2213 02:02:47.720 --> 02:02:48.239 But all right. 2214 02:02:49.560 --> 02:02:52.159 In a phone interview Tuesday with ABC News, we talked 2215 02:02:52.199 --> 02:02:54.520 about that. I'm sorry, I don't think about her. I 2216 02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:57.560 think she's a fraud. Trump said she probably had herself sprayed, 2217 02:02:57.760 --> 02:03:03.119 knowing her again to say, I could agree with that. 2218 02:03:03.800 --> 02:03:07.159 I could. She is known to stage certain things to 2219 02:03:07.199 --> 02:03:12.760 make herself look you know, quote unquote victim, like you know, 2220 02:03:12.960 --> 02:03:16.119 same chick that married her brother to get into the States. Whatever. 2221 02:03:16.680 --> 02:03:19.439 As Wednesday, if she had reservations about public events after 2222 02:03:19.439 --> 02:03:22.800 Tuesday's incident, Omar replied, well, I think my presence here 2223 02:03:22.800 --> 02:03:25.560 should tell you that the fear and intimidation doesn't work 2224 02:03:25.600 --> 02:03:28.319 on me. Or because you knew that it was not 2225 02:03:28.399 --> 02:03:31.920 an actual threat, and you're it's all for show. The 2226 02:03:31.960 --> 02:03:35.720 president's rhetoric. The attacks from him since I've gotten into 2227 02:03:35.720 --> 02:03:38.479 public office from the right wing has always been really 2228 02:03:39.159 --> 02:03:41.520 been really to stop me from being in public service, 2229 02:03:41.760 --> 02:03:44.399 to intimidate me, to make me want to quit. My 2230 02:03:44.479 --> 02:03:46.600 only message is that it hasn't worked thus far, and 2231 02:03:46.640 --> 02:03:49.319 it's not going to work in the future. The incident 2232 02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:52.560 came um intensions in Minneapolis between officials and the Trump 2233 02:03:52.600 --> 02:03:55.479 administration over the immigration crackdown in the city that has 2234 02:03:55.520 --> 02:04:00.720 seen two US citizens killed in shootings involving federal law enforcement. Okay, 2235 02:04:01.119 --> 02:04:04.520 so that's a picture of your guy here, so who knows. 2236 02:04:04.640 --> 02:04:09.399 I don't really I don't really have a crazy hot 2237 02:04:09.439 --> 02:04:13.079 take as far as this one's concerned. I think that 2238 02:04:13.119 --> 02:04:16.159 she is a fraud, and even if this was not 2239 02:04:16.359 --> 02:04:22.359 a staged attack, it's non toxic. Like if your guy 2240 02:04:22.479 --> 02:04:24.560 was trying to do some sort of harm to her, 2241 02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:30.840 you can buy really strong acids in liquid form without 2242 02:04:30.880 --> 02:04:33.880 any kind of license or permits. And I'm not saying 2243 02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:35.760 that he should have. For the record, I am not 2244 02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:38.359 saying that he should have done something to actually physically 2245 02:04:38.399 --> 02:04:40.800 harm this woman. I don't think that that's the correct 2246 02:04:40.800 --> 02:04:43.199 way to go about it. But what I'm saying is, 2247 02:04:44.520 --> 02:04:45.880 I mean, even if you would spray. 2248 02:04:45.640 --> 02:04:47.800 Gasoline on her out of that syringe. 2249 02:04:47.359 --> 02:04:50.720 Like that, there is a better way to go about 2250 02:04:50.760 --> 02:04:54.159 trying to make an effective attack quote unquote on her. 2251 02:04:54.880 --> 02:04:58.399 You sprayed her with a syringe? Were you trying to 2252 02:04:58.439 --> 02:05:02.600 like inject her and fell short? 2253 02:05:01.880 --> 02:05:03.880 I don't. I don't know. 2254 02:05:04.159 --> 02:05:08.800 The whole thing smells very very fishy to me, So yeah, 2255 02:05:08.840 --> 02:05:11.399 I don't really know what to make of it. I 2256 02:05:11.399 --> 02:05:13.640 guess we'll see what kind of charge this guy gets, 2257 02:05:13.680 --> 02:05:15.720 if any or if this is going to fall into 2258 02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:18.920 obscurity and in six months nobody's gonna remember that this 2259 02:05:18.960 --> 02:05:24.399 took place, I feel like that's actually probably more likely, honestly. Anyway, 2260 02:05:25.239 --> 02:05:28.000 I have one more article pulled up about black Rock, 2261 02:05:28.239 --> 02:05:30.439 but it's actually a little bit of a dated article, 2262 02:05:30.720 --> 02:05:34.399 so I don't really see a need to to get 2263 02:05:34.439 --> 02:05:36.680 into that one as of this moment. I do want 2264 02:05:36.680 --> 02:05:39.800 to scroll up in the comment section. See that picture again. 2265 02:05:41.399 --> 02:05:44.800 That doesn't look like an AI image. Well, I don't know, 2266 02:05:44.840 --> 02:05:46.159 her hand kind of does look AI. 2267 02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:48.279 I don't know. 2268 02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:49.720 Royce, what do you think do you think that's a 2269 02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:51.439 real image or do you think that's a fake one 2270 02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:53.439 made for the interwebs. 2271 02:05:53.720 --> 02:06:01.199 I don't really know. Maybe unfortunately A starting to get 2272 02:06:01.399 --> 02:06:09.119 good enough to where I can't really tell as much anymore. 2273 02:06:09.319 --> 02:06:13.680 But whudos maybe with her hand, with how she looked herself. 2274 02:06:13.720 --> 02:06:18.920 I don't know, yeh, I don't know. I don't know. 2275 02:06:19.399 --> 02:06:21.319 Anyway, before we roll out, I'm go ahead and check 2276 02:06:21.359 --> 02:06:23.760 the chat and see, was uh y'all been in the 2277 02:06:23.800 --> 02:06:25.960 chat more than me? Is it just conversations between y'all 2278 02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:27.000 or was there something that was dropped? 2279 02:06:27.000 --> 02:06:27.399 Basically? 2280 02:06:28.800 --> 02:06:32.359 Basically, I think the only thing that else was there 2281 02:06:32.600 --> 02:06:37.239 was a thread from Sam about the shooting. 2282 02:06:37.640 --> 02:06:41.000 But the new one, oh yeah, yeah. 2283 02:06:41.119 --> 02:06:42.560 I don't know if I really want to go any 2284 02:06:42.560 --> 02:06:45.039 deeper on that one as of now, it's uh, it's messy. 2285 02:06:45.800 --> 02:06:48.239 Yeah no, I was just gonna send that few view 2286 02:06:48.279 --> 02:06:50.960 off of your own and everything. It's a video I 2287 02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:55.640 came across. I also just want to say this that 2288 02:06:55.960 --> 02:07:01.039 I I don't care what politically side isn't want anyone is. 2289 02:07:01.159 --> 02:07:07.399 It's a sad day when an American dies, but I 2290 02:07:07.560 --> 02:07:13.079 just wish that America would heal and that people would 2291 02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:18.439 actually give a fuck about their country. I agree, there's 2292 02:07:18.840 --> 02:07:22.520 like if you want to be there, there's country countries 2293 02:07:22.560 --> 02:07:25.119 that are socialists and there's countries that are communists. If 2294 02:07:25.119 --> 02:07:28.279 you want to live in those those ways to go 2295 02:07:28.319 --> 02:07:31.920 and go and move over there. But that, but just 2296 02:07:31.960 --> 02:07:34.800 know there's people that actually grew up in like actual 2297 02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:39.600 true communism like that that would that have out then 2298 02:07:39.760 --> 02:07:43.439 never step foot back in that. So there's people that 2299 02:07:43.600 --> 02:07:49.920 have lived through Fidel Castros h communism. There's been people 2300 02:07:49.920 --> 02:07:55.000 that that are still live that that were going through stalinism. 2301 02:07:55.319 --> 02:07:58.560 They and just every time that you you get to 2302 02:07:58.680 --> 02:08:02.119 both of those things, they to the country tanks and 2303 02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:05.399 just look at Venezuela ast case in point. 2304 02:08:06.039 --> 02:08:08.680 Very true, very true. 2305 02:08:09.560 --> 02:08:10.479 God bless all of you. 2306 02:08:11.119 --> 02:08:14.359 Indeed, indeed, with all this being said and up for 2307 02:08:14.439 --> 02:08:16.920 the record, Sam, I agree with every single syllable you 2308 02:08:16.960 --> 02:08:20.720 just said.
