WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.880 Good evening and welcome to another edition of The Cajun 2 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.279 Night Live. I am your host, Jacob Mook the Cajun Knight. 3 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.279 For anybody who has not been checking out the news lately, 4 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.440 America is going through some things. We got some stuff 5 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.320 going on, things and stuff, some might say, primarily centered 6 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.039 around our president in Washington, DC. There's a lot of 7 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.880 Epstein conversations going on right now. There's a lot of 8 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.079 FBI corruption going on right now. I'm seeing reports that 9 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.799 there is absolutely a connection between Trump's would be assassin 10 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.039 and Charlie Kirk's assassin. It's a wild time. It's a 11 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.280 wild time. So on this episode, we are going to 12 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.679 stick primarily on the continent of North America, more specifically 13 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.039 the good old US of A, although there was enough 14 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.640 going on in China within the past week to where 15 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.759 we are are gonna spend a little bit of time 16 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.799 talking about them towards the end. Segueing over would be 17 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.719 the Chinese AI cyber attack that just took place on 18 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.760 US soil, and nobody's really talking about it because they 19 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.040 don't want to acknowledge how bad the cybersecurity side of 20 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.640 things are with AI. Because more and more people are 21 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.359 leaning more heavily on AI as the answer to all 22 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.159 their problems. We're gonna talk about all good people. So 23 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.879 I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen at this 24 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.560 time for anybody who would like to be a part 25 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.799 of the conversation. Every Wednesday night at nine pm Central, 26 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.840 go to the link in the description below to cajun 27 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.959 Night on Patreon. Well, only one tier for injury. We 28 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.280 do this every Wednesday night at nine pm Central. We're 29 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.799 trying to grow this into a good, fun information sharing 30 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.920 community that gets together to just discuss things as we do. 31 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.799 So let's start off with a more humorous talking point 32 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.200 before we get into the more serious and potentially diabolical things. 33 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.599 Did you know that Target employees are now forced by 34 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.319 corporate order to smile at you if you are within 35 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.680 so many feet of them. That's a thing, now, that's 36 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.080 a thing now. So yes, Target employees typically are a 37 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.240 little happier than a Walmart employee. You know, that's a 38 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.439 whole thing. To walk into a Target, pants are required. 39 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.400 Those are not required at a Walmart. And because of that, 40 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.039 you have a little bit of some understanding there. You're 41 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.319 gonna go in there and people are gonna be a 42 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.120 little happier. You're gonna get the smell of Starbey's in 43 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.879 the air. You know, it's that upscale shopping experience, not 44 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.639 actually upscale, but you know what I'm saying. Right that 45 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:41.319 being said, now, Target Corporate has let out a memo 46 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.360 telling people that if a customer is within I want 47 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.000 to say, it's like five feet of them, they are 48 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.560 forced to give them a like overly nice Mormon smile. 49 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.400 And the employees are actually kind of pissed about that. 50 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.919 But we're gonna talk about this. Let's read a little 51 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.400 bit into this is from the New York Post. Target 52 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.000 workers and shoppers slam companies new forced greeting policy. Nothing 53 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.719 says corporate joy like a mandatory smile. Yeah, you know, 54 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.280 I agree. I agree. Target missed the mark on this 55 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.319 new initiative. A new staff policy at Target, part of 56 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.240 a program called ten four, is forcing employees to engage 57 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.400 with customers more. The retailer confirmed to USA Today employees 58 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.199 within ten feet I said five excuse me, within ten 59 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.919 feet of a customer are now required to smile, make 60 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.919 eye contact, wave, and use quote friendly, approachable, and welcoming 61 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:40.639 body language. End quote. That's that's such a recipe for 62 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.919 belligerency if I've ever seen it in my life, Like 63 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.280 I could just imagine the target employee who should like 64 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.879 stocking shelves, you know, I guess idn't even somebody who's 65 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.879 supposed to be up at the front. They're just somebody 66 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.879 who's stocking shelves. They see somebody walk up, they just hi. 67 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.280 They like scare the shit out of the customer. I 68 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.159 really hope it goes to that level. I hope that 69 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.360 they give like overly creepy vibes to the target customers, 70 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.439 and I hope the customers return fire in that regard, 71 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.639 just so that everybody's in on the joke. I'm here 72 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.319 for that buffoonery. But yeah, that's a new thing, friendly 73 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.800 welcoming body language that also opens the door for so 74 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.800 much buffoonery, so much chicanery. I don't know. Maybe maybe 75 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.319 I'm just a bit of a shit stir when it 76 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.560 comes to forced company policies. So like I look for 77 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.839 ways to oh, I'm gonna abide by your rules. I'm 78 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.079 gonna abide the fuck up out of your rules, but 79 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.759 you're gonna wish that I didn't. That's always been my jam, 80 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.759 even when I was in the Marine Corps. Like and 81 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.439 I told this story before. We had a colonel who 82 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.839 we had to tuck in our shirts into our pants 83 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.199 in civilian attire. So even if you're going home at 84 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.800 the end of the day, you're wearing a T shirt 85 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.040 and jeans, you were expected to tuck your shirt into them, 86 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.360 and if you didn't, you would get reprimanded, loss of rank, 87 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.120 possible confinement to the barracks depending on how he felt 88 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.000 about it. The only shirts by order that were not 89 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.680 forced to be tucked in were Hawaiian shirts and Cuban shirts. 90 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.399 He put out that order in the middle of winter, 91 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.560 thinking that a bunch of Marines wouldn't be wearing Hawaiian 92 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:25.120 shirts in the snow. He underestimated our level of belligerency. 93 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.360 So we were within the realm of the order. We 94 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.040 were freezing our ass off, but we hit every store 95 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.600 locally and it got on online shopping and ordered so 96 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.079 many different Hawaiian shirts, the most flamboyant and loudest and 97 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.360 most ridiculous, as young Marines are one to do. And yeah, 98 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.240 we were out there on the smoke pent chain smoking 99 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.920 Marlboro Reds with our Hawaiian shirts untucked, because you know, 100 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.160 this one's for you, sir. So yeah, I'm hoping that 101 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.639 this also goes to that level of belligerency with these 102 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.439 target employees that are not making enough to also have 103 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.120 a sunny disposition to the Karens of the world that 104 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.319 shop at this establishment. I don't know, but I think 105 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.560 it's I think that this is prime for some real 106 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.319 hilarious TikTok content. I don't know. Furthermore, staff within a 107 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.519 four foot radius of a shopper must also personally greet 108 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.879 the customer and initiate a warm, helpful interaction. The retailer said, So, 109 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.160 if you're ten feet away, you have to smile, wave 110 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.199 and have very inviting body language. If you're four feet away, 111 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.360 you're forced to interact with these people. That's, oh my god, 112 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.480 that's amazing. The company said that the new program is 113 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.920 an attempt to elevate the shopping experience for patrons, making 114 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.560 them feel truly appreciated. That's not the exchange here. That's 115 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.240 never been the exchange. The customer is appreciative that there 116 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.240 is things on the shelf for them to buy and 117 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.439 get the fuck up out of there. I don't know 118 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.160 when this became a thing to where we are appreciative 119 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.879 of the employee who appreciates us. What is this? What 120 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.560 even is this direct quote here? We know when our 121 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.360 guests are greeted, not customers, guests like you're checking into 122 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.439 a hotel or going to a restaurant, You're a guest 123 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.759 at Target are greeted feeling welcomed and getting the help 124 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.639 they need. That translates to guests love and loyalty. No, No, 125 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.040 cheap prices are what give customer loyalty, and Tarja is 126 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.519 not exactly cheaper than Walmart. But at the same time, 127 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.600 unless you're trying to deal with the wal Martians of 128 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.800 the world, you're gonna find a reason to go to 129 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.879 the Target, honestly. But anyway, heading into the holiday, oh man, 130 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.600 that was the whole point of this. So you're gonna 131 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.600 have people on Black Friday that are forced to be 132 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.319 overly nice to these savage human beings. That's gonna run 133 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.360 rampant in the Tarja. That's incredible. Let's it's a ball 134 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.000 of strategy, Catt, and let's see if it works out 135 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.000 for him. Headed into the holiday, we're making adjustments and 136 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.720 implementing new ways to increase connection during the most important 137 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.199 time of the year, powered by our team. Target did 138 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.519 not specify when the new policy would be implemented or 139 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.079 what would happen if an employee does not comply. Oh, 140 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.079 I could imagine there's gonna be a verbal warning, a 141 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.000 paperwork warning, maybe three or four chances and they're gonna 142 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.360 lose their job. But again, as we are drifting ever 143 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.160 so close to Black Friday, I have a hard time 144 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.160 believing that Target's going to be trying to get rid 145 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.759 of any employees for not smiling and waving. That's that's preposterous. 146 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.679 But anyway, yeah, it's really crazy. Oh, actually this is 147 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399 pretty good. However, one Reddit user claims to be a 148 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.440 Target employee's shared that there has been an increase in 149 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.519 secret shoppers to see if they are abiding by the 150 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.240 new rules. Yeah. I could imagine that employees seen sounding 151 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.679 off online about the new policy agree it's likely to backfire. 152 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.480 I bet direct quote here from a Target worker who 153 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.799 wrote this on Reddit. Who the fuck is waving at guests? 154 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.759 If I was sick a shopper or a secret shopper, 155 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.519 I would find that creepy. Yeah, I would agree if 156 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:06.840 I'm just like shopping and every time I walk by 157 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.559 an employee that's stocking a shelter forced to wave at 158 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:14.879 me and smile and like have quote unquote inviting body language. 159 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.399 I would think that they're trying to like pick me 160 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.840 up like I would. I would take that as a 161 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.919 whole different thing. But that's just me. I don't know's 162 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.799 it's great, that's great. One worker mocked the policy, saying 163 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.279 the person who came up with it is quote obviously 164 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:35.919 an alien and should be investigated by US authorities. I 165 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.840 love it. I love it. Okay, anyway, all the good 166 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.679 retinue of the Cajun Knights. I just wanted to bring 167 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.000 this one up. I thought it was humorous, and apparently 168 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.240 this is actually real. The Target correspondence have verified this, 169 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.080 and yeah, the Target is really going to try to 170 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:58.000 make their employees be essentially Mormon to their customer base. 171 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.120 It's hilarious. But anyway, moving on to the next topic, 172 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.279 let's dive in on what is going on with Trump 173 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.320 and these Epstein files. This is from NBC News. It 174 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.879 only dropped a couple of hours ago as of time recording. 175 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.440 This has been kind of crazy for months. Well, let's 176 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.200 go even further back. Net For years now, Trump has 177 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.080 been talking about release the files. Release the files, right, 178 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.480 we need truth, we need transparency, all this shit. Then, 179 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.000 come to find out Trump and Epstein were a little 180 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.879 tighter than what people thought on the onset. Now, all 181 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.399 of a sudden, he in the course of like two weeks, 182 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.519 he went from beating the table talking about release the 183 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.960 files too. I'm Sara, are we still talking about this? 184 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.840 And his bass? The MAGA bass has really shifted their 185 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.039 opinion on him. I'm not saying they don't still support 186 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.000 him in the role that he's in, but they are 187 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.000 definitely looking at him with side eye glances as of 188 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:53.799 right now, cut two emails just got released. Your girl 189 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.799 Maxwell talked to in three separate occasions, saying that she 190 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000 never saw Trump doing any kind of wrongdoing in any 191 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.399 of her interactions with him. Nowhere Trump is talking about, well, 192 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.799 you know, it is within my rights to pardon her brother. 193 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.759 Nobody asked you. Nobody asked if you're thinking about pardoning her. 194 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.679 Nobody even brought up the word part you, Donald Trump, 195 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.039 You brought up the word pardon when no one even 196 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.799 brought it up, which is also highly suspect. Okay, now 197 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.799 cut to there are so many people that want this release, 198 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.200 so many politicians that have flipped sides. And now you 199 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.639 have a conglomerate of victims of Epstein Island that have 200 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.679 come together and they're going to form their own list 201 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.360 if something isn't done, and they have gotten some real 202 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.159 weight behind them. Marjorie Taylor Green has thrown in her 203 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.399 lot with them, and now Donnie t is calling her 204 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.519 Marjorie Trader Green and that was one of his biggest 205 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:49.720 advocates for the longest time. So now finally Trump is 206 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.639 set to sign the bill releasing the Epstein files. Before 207 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.240 we play this video, Royce, go ahead. 208 00:11:55.799 --> 00:12:00.480 So I don't know what kind of deal that miss 209 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.600 Kisley Maxwell made with Trump beforehand, but there's no way 210 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.759 in hell she went from whatever security level to a 211 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.440 camp and not. 212 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.519 Have that approval. That's just not that's just not the 213 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.679 way that works. So for her to say, oh, there's 214 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.759 there's no way he was on the list, you know, 215 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.240 and I didn't even do anything, well, yeah, no, of 216 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.080 course she didn't. 217 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.840 That MACS. 218 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.200 She wanted to go to go to a camp so 219 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.399 she can have a much better time with the potentials. 220 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.360 Choes give me part. I really don't think that that's 221 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.159 too much of a or sure thing only because I 222 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.159 think there's too many eyes on it, right, There's there's 223 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.919 a lot of eyes in general on the fact that 224 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.399 she went from either a medium security or whatever to 225 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.360 a minimum security, which doesn't happen for people with sex 226 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.639 offenses because you have a management variable which says you 227 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.960 can't do it. So the fact that she's already there 228 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.320 is step one, like, of course. 229 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.080 She's not. 230 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.759 Guess you're gonna say, oh, well, you know Trumble's never 231 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.679 was never anywhere on here. Yeah, well no fucking shit. Yeah, 232 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.240 Like this doesn't take it any genius. So I think 233 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.600 that's the best case snarra. But I don't see her 234 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:19.639 getting pardoned just because even if it's quour to quote 235 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.080 on the table, because I think that would just look 236 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.639 that would look way to sus like it's looking suspicious anyway. 237 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.200 But that's like, that's I think that might be crossing 238 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:30.639 the line. 239 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.919 Yeah, I don't believe that she's gonna get pardoned for 240 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.080 the exact reason that you just said. The optics on 241 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.720 that alone would ruin not just Donye t that would 242 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.679 ruin the Republican Party because of so many people that 243 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.720 are of the Republican side of things that have Trump 244 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.440 derangement syndrome of that side that basically, anything Donny t 245 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.639 does it is the most amazing thing that's ever been done, 246 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.679 because Donniet's the one that did it. If he was 247 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:59.559 to pardon her, that would screw over the Republican Party essentially. 248 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.320 But with that being said, yeah, I don't know what 249 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.159 kind of deal was cut. I don't know what kind 250 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.759 of intel she was actually able to give to get 251 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.000 her moved to this minimal security situation. Her biggest problem 252 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:17.080 right now, her Gislaine Maxwell's biggest issue is that she 253 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.399 is not allowed to have a puppy. That's not a joke, 254 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.360 by the way. At the secured facility that she's at, 255 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:29.279 they'd have dogs. They train dogs there, And the one 256 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:34.000 stipulation is that any prisoner that has ever been who 257 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.679 is in jail right now for an offense involving animals 258 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.919 or children, they prey upon the innocent. Therefore they're not 259 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.320 allowed to have a dog. And she was all up 260 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.320 in arms about that because she wanted a puppy just 261 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.480 like all the other women in this prison and she 262 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.480 wasn't allowed. That's her biggest issue right now. Everything else 263 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.360 as far as this goes she's basically at a hotel 264 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.039 with bars. That's the short and dirty of it. So 265 00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.879 I'm with you. I don't know what kind of de 266 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.320 was cut. I don't know what kind of information she 267 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.480 was actually able to give in the what was it 268 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.519 like twelve hours of an interview that they finally did 269 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.080 with her or whatever. But it's, uh, it's kind of crazy. 270 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.639 I don't believe that Trump is going to pardon her. 271 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.399 He kept bringing it up like that was a thing 272 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.919 that was within his power. It's like, nobody's questioning if 273 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.159 the president has the power to pardon people. We know 274 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.519 that that this is not the time nor the place 275 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.440 to be bringing that up as if it's just regular conversation, 276 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.639 especially when nobody asked you about it. 277 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.759 Maybe he was c loudsourcing. Maybe he was crowdsourcing. I 278 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000 mean because if he would have been given a disresponse 279 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.360 people like, oh yeah, give her a chance, then that 280 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.879 might have been going that direction. That kind of makes 281 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.320 sense to me. 282 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.720 I mean maybe, but I feel like he wouldn't really. 283 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.639 Maybe you're onto something here. Maybe Donald Trump is so 284 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.159 disconnected from reality and what people actually want and what 285 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.200 people actually think, that that was his way of testing 286 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.559 the water. It's possible just to see what the response 287 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.360 would be, but I feel like it doesn't take a 288 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.639 genius and however, disconnected from reality, you actually are the 289 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.960 madam of a child sex trafficking ring getting a part in. 290 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.799 I feel like you wouldn't need to take a quick 291 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.159 pull to see what people think. As far as that 292 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.440 that's a good idea or not, I don't know, but 293 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.080 you might be right. He's been a billionaire for years. 294 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.200 He's been not a normal human being for years. Maybe 295 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.279 that was his attempt just to see what people would think, 296 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.919 because I mean, him and just Layne Are they were friends. 297 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.320 Him and Jeff were friends at one point in time, 298 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.080 so maybe that was the case. I don't know. But 299 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.879 the other side of this with him releasing these files 300 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.200 is that there have now been fifteen hundred emails that 301 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:54.320 have been released, and some things within these emails are extreme, 302 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.759 to say the least one of them. People keep going 303 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:03.080 on and on about this is to say that basically 304 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.839 there is evidence or at least witnesses to Donald Trump 305 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:13.680 giving Bill Clinton a blowjob. I don't know if that's 306 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.519 a true statement or if that was just a crazy 307 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.279 email that was sent or what. But that is absolutely 308 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.519 within the emails. Then there's all kinds of records of 309 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.599 Donald Trump being a lot closer to Epstein than what 310 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.480 he has been telling us over the past few months. 311 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.559 Then there's a lot of things to say that the 312 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.920 FBI has been lying to the American people for the 313 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.960 last few months, which again we all knew that this 314 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.640 isn't like a hot take that nobody is considered over 315 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.400 the past six months. But the release of these files 316 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.480 are going to show that Cash Betel and Dan bong 317 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:51.640 Gino and Pambondi are so either a incapable, b incompetent 318 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.279 or c outright dishonest, and they need to be removed 319 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.960 from their positions or do the honorable thing to salvage 320 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.079 the one shred of honor and decency that they might 321 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.640 be able to get from this and step down gracefully. 322 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.559 I don't know how this is going to go down, 323 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.640 but apparently enough people have signed all but one, which 324 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.240 we're going to talk about him here in a minute, 325 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.759 Clay Higgins from Louisiana. Every other politician signed off saying yes, 326 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.079 release these files. Trump is supposed to be signing off 327 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.720 on that either tonight as a time of recording or 328 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.480 tomorrow morning, we're going to learn about that together. So, 329 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.079 without further ado, this is from NBC News to talk 330 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.559 about Trump to sign the bill releasing the Epstein files. 331 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.720 President Trump now set to sign a bill to force 332 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.960 the release of Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein, 333 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.519 starting the clock for the DOJ with thirty days to comply. 334 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.200 We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency 335 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.240 while protecting victims. 336 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.279 But how much material, if any, could become public. 337 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:57.720 While the bill compels the. 338 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.400 Department to share records like flight logs, sealed settlements, and more, 339 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:05.599 it contains caveats letting the DOJ redact files for victims 340 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.799 privacy and withhold certain information that would jeopardize an active 341 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.400 federal investigation, like the one opened days ago after the 342 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.799 President directed the Attorney General to look into Democrats connections 343 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.680 to the late sex offender. What makes you confident that 344 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.920 you may actually see the public release of these Epstein files, 345 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.920 because I don't think the American people will settle for 346 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.319 anything less. The DOJ said back in July, it did 347 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.240 not uncover evidence to warrant charging anyone else. Attorney General 348 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.880 Pambondi was asked today what changed. 349 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.440 There's information that new information. 350 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.680 Additional information that could include material from the Epstein estate. 351 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:47.160 Some released last week by the House, including emails between 352 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.680 Epstein and former Harvard president and Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, 353 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.079 who today stepped down from the board of Open AI. 354 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.799 He's not been accused of involvement in Epstein's crimes. The 355 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.799 now public documents also showed Demo A Delegate Stacey Plaskett, 356 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:05.000 who represents the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a home, 357 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.880 had texted with him during a twenty nineteen hearing as 358 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.880 she questioned President Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen. Epstein, writing 359 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.559 Cohen brought up Rona, keeper of the secrets, Plaskett later 360 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.559 responding quick, I'm up next? Is that an acronym? 361 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.440 And then miss Rona? What is Rona? 362 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.559 Griff is the mister Trump's executive assistant? 363 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.480 And will she be able to corroborate many of the 364 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.599 statements that you've made here? 365 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.960 Epstein texting her good work. Plaskett now defending herself and 366 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.119 calling Epstein's actions reprehensible. 367 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.359 I believe that Jeffrey Epstein had information, and I was 368 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.200 going to get information to get it. The truth having 369 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:46.640 a friendship with him is not something that I would 370 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.519 deem to have, all. 371 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.359 Right, Halle joins us now live and Halle. 372 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.599 Bottom line here, people may expect. 373 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.200 Real quick before we let miss Hallie speak on it here, 374 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.920 so plasket. She just went on a whole tirade. It 375 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.519 was like a three minute monologue trying to explain her actions. 376 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.160 They showed a quick clip of it. She where she 377 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.200 was wearing the blue or whatever, and essentially she is saying, 378 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.240 and y'all gonna come at me for texting a felon. 379 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.920 Let me ask you this, how many of you have 380 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:20.559 texted Donald Trump this week? And it's like, yeah, that's 381 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.319 that's the route you need to go right now when 382 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.559 you just got caught red handed talking to the guy 383 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:31.519 in question when questioning Trump's fixer in a open like 384 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:37.839 the whole thing, the whole thing. It's phenomenal. But yeah, 385 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.480 hopefully the swamp starts to get dreamed here. But we'll see. 386 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.519 Let's listen to this lady to learn a lot from 387 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:46.119 these Epstein files, but they may not be the case. 388 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.200 Right, Yeah, that's right, Tom, because of those caveats we mentioned, 389 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.240 and if what the Justice Department puts out is extremely limited. 390 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.359 There may be political fallout considering the majority of Americans 391 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.039 support the release of more documents. 392 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.599 Tom okay, hallie fit. 393 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:00.680 All right, So all that to be said, I did 394 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.680 want to go back to this one part here where 395 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.240 it talks about here we go. So this is from 396 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.720 Donald Trump on I believe it's x. Now. The Democrats 397 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.519 are using the Epstein hoax, involving Democrats not Republicans, to 398 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.000 try and deflect from their disaster shutdown and all their 399 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.680 other failures. I will be asking A. G. Pambondi and 400 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.359 the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at 401 00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.920 the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with 402 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.720 Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP, Morgan Chase, and 403 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.400 many other people and institutions to determine what is going 404 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:42.559 on with them and him. There's another Russia. Oh shit, Russia, Russia, Russia, 405 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:46.640 Russia scam with all arrows pointing to Democrats records of 406 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.079 these men oh man. Yeah, so everything's got to be 407 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:53.039 about Russia when it comes to Donnie T. And I'm 408 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:58.319 not saying that there is no level of truth to that, 409 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.799 But the same time, his name was on the documents 410 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.039 more than a few, like a lot, actually a lot. 411 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.200 I'm not saying more than anyone else's by any stretch 412 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.440 of the imagination. There are other very high profile people 413 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:16.400 whose names you would know, who made frequent flyer trips 414 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.240 on the Lolita Express and to the island and to 415 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.599 the New York apartment, all the things, most notably off 416 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.559 the top of my head, as a former Israeli prime 417 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.440 minister who it seemed like once or twice a month 418 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:33.480 was making his way to Epstein's private New York penthouse suite, 419 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.960 all all the things which there are victims that say 420 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.119 that that was where they were based out of. So 421 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.519 I mean, we could already see the connections of the debauchery. 422 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.000 But all that to be said, Trump is talking about 423 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.960 how he's going to release them, and that's good. That's good, 424 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:54.279 we want this. They're going to redact the victims' names, Okay, cool. 425 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.359 No one had any issue with the redaction of victim's names. 426 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.160 Nobody has ever questioned that. We don't. We're not trying 427 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:05.599 to make these victims relive the most traumatic event of 428 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.599 their life. I think we all have a little bit 429 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.480 more of a soul than that. But what I'm afraid 430 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.960 of is that, like they said, those caveats, I am 431 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.559 afraid that that is going to redact a lot more 432 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.519 than just the victims' names. I don't know this for 433 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.880 a fact. I am hoping, and especially when we're talking 434 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.599 about the same Justice Department that went on and on 435 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.480 saying there are no files. There is none. They went 436 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.599 on and said there was like ten thousand hours of 437 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.960 footage and there was binders and binders of these documents 438 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.720 that they were going to go through and release them 439 00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:37.880 to the public, only to say later, no, never mind, 440 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.759 there was nothing. Actually the whole time, I don't even 441 00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.599 know what you're talking about, and there's no other guilty 442 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.559 parties actually, believe it or not. It was just at 443 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:47.319 Jeff and Gizlain, and that was the only two. Crazy. 444 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.119 Now they're going to release the files, and what are 445 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.519 we supposed to trust after they just lied? Either they 446 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.559 lied at point A or lied at point B, both 447 00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.319 of which take all credibility away from them. If anything, 448 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.400 I think both the them being said in the manner 449 00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:04.839 that they were within six months of each other discredits 450 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.920 the entire DOJ. That's just my take, but we'll see, hopefully, 451 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.759 they grow a spine and start releasing the actual files. Now, 452 00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.200 let's read into this article from NBC. The Justice Department's 453 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:19.240 records related to Jeffrey Epstein are on their way to 454 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.240 becoming public after President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files 455 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.480 Transparency Act. But what could be in them and when 456 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:29.000 could the public actually see them. Here's a look of 457 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.279 what we know about the release so far and what 458 00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.519 can be expected. So the Epstein files, we already know 459 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.599 what they are. I'm not gonna waste time on that one. 460 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.759 The indictment, Yeah, yeah, he was under investigation in Florida 461 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:42.440 and of allegations he prayed on a number of young 462 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.160 victims in the mid two thousands, but ultimately cut a 463 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.759 deal to plead guilty to stay charges involving just one minor. 464 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.640 The Justice Department said this year that he had one 465 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.359 thousand victims. Yeah, and whenever he played guilty, he got 466 00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.079 like the sweetest of sweetheart deals. 467 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.359 Ever. 468 00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.200 He had to spend eight hours in jail a day. 469 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:04.240 That was it. He got furloughed on a daily basis 470 00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:05.519 to go out in town and do what he had 471 00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:07.799 to do. He basically just sleeping at the jail. That 472 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.400 was it. And it was only for like nine months 473 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.000 something like that. It was disgusting. But anyway, all right, 474 00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.119 let's go down here. Which files are supposed to become 475 00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.480 public and win. The documents scheduled to become public are 476 00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:24.200 from the FBIS and the Justice Department's investigative files into 477 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.400 Epstein and has accomplished Isla Maxwell, who is serving a 478 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.079 twenty year prison term for conspiring to sex traffic miners. 479 00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.240 The bill gives the Attorney General thirty days to quote 480 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.880 make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format, all 481 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.440 unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession 482 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:50.200 of the Department of Justice involving Epstein, including all investigations, prosecutions, 483 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.519 and custodial manners and Maxwell. It also calls for information 484 00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:59.440 on people, including government officials named or referenced in connection 485 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:04.319 with Epstein, criminal activities, civil settlements, community or plea agreements, 486 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:11.559 or investigator investigatory proceedings, rather and entities, corporate, nonprofit, academic, 487 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:16.000 or governmental with known or alleged ties to Epstein's trafficking 488 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:21.640 or financial networks. Talking about that. Also, it's crazy that 489 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:25.039 the woman that was texting Jeffrey Epstein is the representative 490 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:29.960 from the Virgin Islands, where his island was located. That 491 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.640 is also pretty crazy to me because whenever it all 492 00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.400 went down and Jeffrey Epstein got arrested, the it's not 493 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:42.079 the governor because they're not a state. Whatever the top 494 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:47.079 dog of the political spectrum is on v I, they 495 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:52.559 were actually arrested and indicted for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. 496 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.920 Because there's no way that the political people see the 497 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.440 boats coming and going, they know what's going down there, 498 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.400 they turn a blind eye to it for forever. Now, 499 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.160 this woman who is saying, oh, that wasn't what you 500 00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.559 were thinking. I was trying to get good information to 501 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.160 a question about Trump, it doesn't matter. That is also 502 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.480 very very much so guilty by association, and that was 503 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.480 confirmed by these emails. Now she's having to play the 504 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.000 ultimate damage control when she was just caught red handed. 505 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.279 That's it's beautiful. It's beautiful, and I cannot wait to 506 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.799 see how many politicians start floundering in the next few days. 507 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.680 But all right, and then also Summers, he stepped down 508 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:39.319 from the board of X was it or AI Open 509 00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.119 AI or whatever it was. But there's no connection to Epstein. 510 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.279 But he just stepped down, and he's about to I 511 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.960 guarantee you he's about to go to Greece. He's about 512 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.359 to go to a country and no extradition laws, and 513 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.640 he's gonna go just take up residency there, might even 514 00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.359 get a dual citizenship there before it's all said and done. 515 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.880 I don't know, but that's I don't want to call 516 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.319 myself a prophet, but I just I could see it. 517 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.640 I see it in the ether that that's about to 518 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.839 be what goes down here. Continuing on here, it says 519 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.079 the Justice Department is also directed to turn over any 520 00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.839 immunity deals, non prosecution agreements, plea bargains, or sealed settlements 521 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.039 involving Epstein or his associates, as well as internal DOJ 522 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:28.680 communications including emails, memos, meeting notes concerning decisions to charge, 523 00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:33.880 not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates. 524 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:38.039 So this is very interesting. Why is this information being 525 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.400 directed to be released now? 526 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.200 Why? 527 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.319 Now? The directives are the result of a bipartisan House 528 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.519 bill co authored by Republicans or Representatives Thomas Massey, Republican 529 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:53.960 from Kentucky and Roe Kanna, Democrat from California, who have 530 00:29:54.039 --> 00:30:00.240 said they want transparency and accountability on behalf of Epstein's victims. Well, 531 00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:03.880 I don't know how else I can word this. When 532 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:11.000 you have bipartisan agreement on something, typically there is a 533 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:16.640 conspiracy a foot. Typically you I don't think there's ever 534 00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.960 been a time in the last oh hell, I'd say 535 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:26.039 probably seventy five years in American history. I want to 536 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.839 say a hundred, but I feel like that also we're 537 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:30.720 talking like to get us out of the Great Depression 538 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:32.440 and then the world wars and stuff, So I'll leave 539 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.359 it at seventy five. I'd be willing to bet a 540 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.279 good number. I mean a good number that the only 541 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:46.039 time that we have seen bipartisan support for anything to 542 00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:49.599 go through Washington, DC was when there was some sort 543 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.599 of conspiracy a foot. So when we look at this, 544 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:58.039 which is this is one of the ultimate conspiracies, honestly, 545 00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:00.599 we know that there were people on both side the 546 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.640 aisles that were making their way to and from Epstein 547 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.720 Island and or using Jeffrey Epstein to help launder money 548 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.000 because that's what he was. So now when we have 549 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:19.000 it's not just the majority except for one guy. Everybody 550 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:25.680 agreed to release these files. This is damn near unprecedented. 551 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.400 And I wouldn't be shocked if these files that get 552 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.839 released are so heavily redacted that it's actually a big 553 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.720 old nothing burger. I could see that. I hope I'm wrong. God, 554 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:39.920 I hope I'm wrong. I hope that it says every 555 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.920 name that was associated with this shit and everybody goes down. 556 00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:49.160 I hope this. But to have this heavily bipartisan support 557 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:53.920 on this that's got my hackles raised a bit, that's 558 00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.400 got all the red flags thrown on that particular play. 559 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.319 And I know I'm not alone in that sentiment. But anyway, 560 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:03.400 the measure was stalled for months, in part because of 561 00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.839 the government shutdown. The government shutdown was not even two 562 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.599 whole months. It was stalled for months because of the shutdown, 563 00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:15.559 that's a take, and in part because of opposition from Trump, 564 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.559 who changed his position when the bill appeared headed for 565 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.799 passage the PAS. It passed the House on Tuesday by 566 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.039 a vote of four hundred and twenty seven to one. 567 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:32.960 Out of four hundred and twenty eight seeded congressmen, only 568 00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:39.240 one said no. Then the Senate approved it by unanimous 569 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.359 consent and sent it to the White House for Trump 570 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:47.400 to sign into law. Go ahead, Royce, So did this 571 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:48.359 more of a question? 572 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.160 So I agree with you from what you said as 573 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:55.119 far as whenever there is a bipartisan things so unanimous 574 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:58.839 like this that they're on the outset, might be a 575 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.880 conspiracy to things. First of all, for everybody else who 576 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.519 doesn't look at things with the conspiratorial thrown open eye, 577 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:11.519 they're like, this is effing great. Yeah, But so what, 578 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.799 in your opinion, could be the play or could be 579 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:22.480 the conspiracy with this whole thing? Like why because it 580 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.039 seems like it should be a good thing when everybody 581 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.640 both parts are like, hey, let's get this lead less released. However, 582 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:38.720 there are probably plenty of names on both sides, So and. 583 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.119 Let's look at it just on the political side of things. 584 00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:45.839 Although we know for a fact that multiple Fortune five 585 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:52.240 hundred CEOs, held Fortune one hundred CEOs, tech gurus, political 586 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.160 leaders from all over the world, they all made their 587 00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.079 way to Epstein Island, right, But just for this conversation, 588 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:03.759 let's keep to the realm of American politics and American politicians. Therefore, 589 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.360 so I got a couple of working theories right now, 590 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.760 and it's way too early to call it one way 591 00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.760 or another. But have you ever heard the expression they 592 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.320 can't arrest us all. I'm of the belief that that 593 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.760 might be what this is. They all vote to release them, 594 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.000 and it's gonna come out, and if ninety nine percent 595 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.880 of our American politicians, even at the state level, are 596 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.320 on that list, I think that they will unanimously also 597 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.599 call it a hoax and discredit it because they can't 598 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.360 arrest everybody. Yeah, really, so all of us renamed? You're 599 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:45.119 gonna believe that? Come on now. I thought this is 600 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.519 gonna be an open and honest releasing of the files. 601 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.000 In reality, it was, but they're gonna play it off 602 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.800 like it was a giant hoax, lean more heavily into 603 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.639 Trump's hoax statements that he's been making for so long, 604 00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.119 and then it just goes by the wayside, no justice 605 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.559 gets served. I could see that being a possibility. The 606 00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.519 other side of it is that it will be released, 607 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.079 but it's gonna be so so heavily redacted, and they're 608 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:12.280 just gonna say, well, these were victims' names, or we 609 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.800 had to redact it because this is still critical to 610 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:17.719 an ongoing investigation and that can't be released to the public. 611 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.119 We released what we could, but we couldn't release all 612 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.599 the names. In reality, they released like ten percent of 613 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:26.360 the names, and it's already people that were suspected of things. 614 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.639 That's what I'm saying. I don't think that real justice 615 00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:34.440 is going to come out of this at all whatsoever. 616 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:40.079 I don't know. There may be a whole other option 617 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:42.840 that I haven't considered yet. It's still crazy to me 618 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.440 that Trump has flip flopped and then flip flopped on this. 619 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:51.800 But seriously, I don't see this going positively. Although, like 620 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.599 you said, I want this to go positively, and people 621 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.440 are looking at this like, hell, yeah, they're releasing it. 622 00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.360 We're gonna find out who these pieces of shit are 623 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.119 going to be served. I'm with that one hundred percent. 624 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:04.599 And I God, dude, I hope I'm wrong. I hope 625 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.639 I'm so wrong on this. Justice will be served. And 626 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.400 if nine percent of our politicians are on that list, 627 00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.440 then ninety nine people are going to Guantanamo Bay. Like 628 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.360 I God, I hope that happens. I just have a 629 00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.840 hard time believing it. I have a hard time believing 630 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.639 that all of a sudden, our elected officials are taking 631 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:26.599 the route of morality. I don't I just don't see it. 632 00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.360 Bro well, especially because the whole hoax thing, and that's 633 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:33.840 just really crazy to where whenever you have all these 634 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:35.559 emails that are coming out and they're like, oh no, 635 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:38.000 that's a hoax, it's like, what are you talking about? 636 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:39.639 These are just being getting released. 637 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.599 It's like, ah, I'm with you. 638 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.800 There's just such a such a such a level of 639 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:51.119 disbelief and distrust with this whole thing. 640 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.960 If you uh, there's examples all over the country of 641 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.519 and this is a micro but bear with me. So 642 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:03.599 there was a police departm in Sorno, Louisiana, very small town, 643 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:08.639 very very small town, backwoods some would say, and the 644 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:14.159 police department was shut down because of inherent corruption. And 645 00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:17.440 it wasn't just the police chief, it wasn't just his 646 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.800 immediate staff, all the way down to your average cop 647 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:24.719 that was just doing his patrols. All of them were 648 00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:27.800 on the take. I think there was maybe five out 649 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.920 of the entire department that weren't dirty, and they were 650 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:34.960 primarily used as the face because they weren't dirty. When 651 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.679 this got brought to light, whole investigation blown wide open 652 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:41.320 and they were like wait, wait, wait, you mean to 653 00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:46.320 tell me every cop of this department is dirty. Really, 654 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:48.719 we're really gonna do that? What are you gonna do? Now? 655 00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:51.840 Shut down the department? Who's going to patrol the streets? Now? 656 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.880 So what happened was the information was brought to light. 657 00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:59.880 It absolutely was damn near every cop in that city, 658 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.079 and the department was shut down and then they got 659 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:06.480 enveloped by the local sheriff's office. So that is a 660 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.360 microcosm for what I think might be going on here. 661 00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:13.719 But it's to such a large scale, if not everyone. 662 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:17.559 Let's say, of the four to twenty eight that voted, 663 00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:23.159 let's be generous, Let's be very generous and say that 664 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:26.719 a hundred of them are implemented in some way, shape 665 00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.800 or form. These career politicians that have been in their 666 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:33.599 seat for the last thirty years because they've never been dethroned. Right, fine, 667 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.800 a fourth of our congressman to be arrested in some 668 00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.360 massive like it's gonna be all over the news, that's 669 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.920 gonna make air, national news, all the stuff. Now what 670 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.400 Now we have to hold emergency elections all over the 671 00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.800 country to try to get those seats filled. Now we 672 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.840 have more political turmoil and uprisings and all these things, 673 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.960 and it's gonna drive even more of a wedge to 674 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.360 divide the country further, because it's not just electioneer kind 675 00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:03.519 of tactics. It's emergency election right now kinds of tactics. 676 00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:06.639 I could see that even potentially leading to some sort 677 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.400 of a crazy event, to a civil war. I could 678 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:11.599 so even still. 679 00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.039 Yeah, but then Robert, then you would actually have to 680 00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.039 start looking at the person's politics and say, hey, who 681 00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:20.119 is this person? Do I want to vote for them? 682 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.960 Not just an R or a D or an I. 683 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.280 And that's where how it should be. So even if 684 00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:29.280 there is shit, even there is two hundred, who the 685 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.639 hell says that the person who is in there needs 686 00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.840 to be a lawyer, and it needs to be a politician, 687 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.639 needs to be this needs Like look at our founding fathers. 688 00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:40.159 Yep. 689 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:43.679 People think that our founding fathers were like forty fifty six. 690 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:44.519 No, these are. 691 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:48.119 Like like twenty one, twenty two, twenty three year old guys, 692 00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.400 and they didn't have jack shitt for any kind of 693 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:56.880 you know, education. They weren't career politicians. Like our country 694 00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:01.039 was not designed for what it is right right now, 695 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.760 Like because these people who are sixty seventy eighty whatever 696 00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:09.239 they're not connected to who we are for the most 697 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.559 part for our generation. And if they're get him the 698 00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:13.599 s out of the office. 699 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.199 Like I agree with you to your point, there are 700 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:20.000 founding fathers. The majority of them that hailed some sort 701 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:23.760 of seat of position were a part of the aristocracy 702 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:26.000 in some way shape when they may not have been 703 00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:29.360 like a British lord before they became an American governor 704 00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.159 or something like that. But they were typically well to do, 705 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.599 land owning males who you know, had successful businesses or 706 00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.480 farms or whatever the case was. But to your point, 707 00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.519 they weren't career politicians. They were educated for the day 708 00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:45.159 and age, but they weren't scientists by any means. Or 709 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.920 I see what you're saying here. But there is a 710 00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.239 uprising going on in American politics right now. I've mentioned 711 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.480 this guy before and I'm such a massive fan of 712 00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.480 him I will continue to do so. Named Brandon Herrera. 713 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.920 He is running right now in Texas's twenty eighth congressional 714 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:08.840 district against the incumbent, a Republican, a Rhino, I might add, 715 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.920 named Tony Gonzalez. He lost the last selection by like 716 00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:17.719 four hundred votes. This is a career gun tuber. That's 717 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.880 what he does. He owns an AK forty seven facility. 718 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.679 He's a gun manufacturer who started a YouTube channel, and 719 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:27.760 with enough money and clout, he decided to try to 720 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.719 remove the incumbent because this guy is a massive piece 721 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:34.519 of shit and a horrible representation of Texas. So he 722 00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:39.239 got that close to taking his job from him. This time, 723 00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:40.840 he didn't even have to work at it. Come to 724 00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.559 find out, Tony Gonzalez was having an affair with one 725 00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.679 of his assistants and there's reports that say that got 726 00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:50.400 her pregnant. Next thing, you know, she burned herself alive 727 00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:54.039 in her car. If you could believe such wild things 728 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.000 like that would take place in American politics or whatever. 729 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.159 Right beside the point, there are a multi cases of 730 00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:05.760 younger adults who are taking on the mantle of American 731 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.159 politics because they're disgusted at what they see on the 732 00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:11.400 news when they're watching DC. And I'm hoping that we 733 00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:15.000 have a resurgence of true patriots, regardless of what letter 734 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.199 designation is by their name. I have my own biases, 735 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.440 but fine, I believe that you can be a Democrat 736 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.719 and also be a patriot, all right, You not a 737 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.840 screaming lib tard. I think that we need to keep 738 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.079 it within the box of acceptable behavior here. But I 739 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.039 believe that you could be an independent and be a 740 00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:35.840 true American patriot. I believe all of these things are possible, 741 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:40.000 but there are so many young adults that are trying 742 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.079 to take on these roles strictly because of the corruption 743 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:47.159 that we've seen our entire lives. I am hoping that 744 00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:50.320 in the next ten, fifteen, twenty years we see a 745 00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:53.639 new wave of I only want to call them politicians 746 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:59.360 of Americans taking a stance in American politics. But it's 747 00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:03.559 slow going because of these incumbents that are so heavily 748 00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:07.239 entrenched into DC. They've been in DC for the last 749 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.039 twenty two years, and the only reason why they are 750 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:12.480 there is because of simply name recognition. At this point, 751 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:16.159 and what I'm afraid of as of this moment, let's 752 00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.840 say that there was a mass event where a hundred 753 00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:23.480 of these four hundred and twenty eight have to be replaced. 754 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.599 Right now, I'm afraid that the people that would try 755 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:29.920 to take on that role, And you're right, we should 756 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:33.440 should look at their politics and who they are as 757 00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:35.800 a person to decide if they are a good representation 758 00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:40.119 of what we as American citizens want their constituents. But 759 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:42.800 I'm also afraid that it would be so short noticed 760 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:46.480 and so shortsighted that it would be an open opportunity 761 00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:50.760 for nepotism to run rampant, and for these politicians that 762 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.559 aren't implemented on the list to just fill those slots 763 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.400 with their homeboys, to just throw a lot of weight, 764 00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:58.800 a lot of money, a lot of endorsements behind these 765 00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:00.840 people that we right now, if I mentioned one of 766 00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:02.639 their names, you would never know it. But all of 767 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:04.320 a sudden, they're going to be the next latest and 768 00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.960 greatest thing. In reality, It's like, you know, it's same shit, 769 00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:11.639 different day. I don't know. I'm with you that I 770 00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:14.239 hope that it would go in a very positive direction 771 00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.920 for the country, But I have such a lack of 772 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:19.639 faith in humanity at this point that I don't see 773 00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:24.519 it working out well for us. But I'm torn. I'm 774 00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:26.559 really torn here. I want the swamp to be drained. 775 00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:32.199 I want every politician, every product of the Beltway of 776 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:37.199 DC that is implemented or connected or was complicit even 777 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.840 of what was going down on Epstein Island and his 778 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.880 apartments and all the shit. I want all of them 779 00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:47.800 to be in jail right now. That being said, what 780 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:50.840 would the blowback of that look like? And could America 781 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:56.599 withstand that? Could America survive that? I don't know. If 782 00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:01.119 our current status in America, I don't know the typical 783 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:04.639 American has enough grit to get through the hard times 784 00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.239 to that level. I don't know. And I'm not saying 785 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.599 that's an excuse to just keep the files hidden by 786 00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:16.440 any means. Fuck that. But I also I don't know, man, 787 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:20.400 I don't know. I could. That's why I'm leaning more 788 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:24.519 towards the fact that it's bipartisan, a unanimous decision in 789 00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:27.679 the Senate, and all but one in Congress that voted 790 00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.320 for this to go. I'm wondering if it is so 791 00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:36.000 bad that legitimately ninety five percent of them are named 792 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.119 in these documents to where they're gonna release it to 793 00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:41.440 the public as a way to show how much of 794 00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.880 a hoax it was, and then it just gets shelved, 795 00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.880 never to be brought up again. I hope I'm wrong. 796 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.480 I don't know. Gonna We're gonna keep a very very 797 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.159 close eye on this over the next few weeks to 798 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.079 bring it up as more things unfold on this, but anyway, 799 00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:01.280 let's continue on here. Can the do withhold any of 800 00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:05.239 the files? The measure allows the Attorney General to withhold 801 00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:09.039 some documents, including records that quote would jeopardize an active 802 00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:14.440 federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that such withholding is 803 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:20.119 narrowly tailored and temporary. These are very legal terms. Temporary. 804 00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:24.840 Does that mean next week? Does that mean in a 805 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.159 couple of months? Does that mean ten years? It's not indefinite? 806 00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.039 Is it is temporary? You see what I'm saying. This 807 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:36.800 is them speaking legalese, if you will. It doesn't define 808 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.920 how long quote unquote temporary is or what the penalty 809 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.480 for failing to comply would be. There you go. In 810 00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.199 a joint memo in July, the FBI and the Justice 811 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:50.760 Department said that they have conducted an quote unquote exhaustive 812 00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:55.119 review okay of the case, and that no one else 813 00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:59.800 is expected to be charged. Shocker. Trump, however, directed Attorney 814 00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:03.440 General Pambondi to investigate former President Bill Clinton, his former 815 00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:07.559 Treasury secretary Larry Summers, and Democratic donor Reid Hoffmann after 816 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:11.960 their names appeared in the email documents last week. It's 817 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:14.360 not it doesn't take a genius to also say the 818 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:17.880 investigation needs to look more heavily into old Billium because 819 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:20.800 keep in mind, there was a painting of him above 820 00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:26.760 Jeffrey Epstein's fireplace at Epstein Island, wearing heels in a 821 00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:29.719 blue dress of all things. That's not a conspiracy, that's 822 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.599 a guaranteed fact. So yeah, I think it'd be worth 823 00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:36.480 the time to really take another look at will or 824 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.199 Bill Clinton and see what the fuck was going on there. 825 00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:42.679 But do I think that Billiam's gonna see the inside 826 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.559 of a jail cell? Absolutely not, absolutely not. And the 827 00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:49.760 other side of this, God, the other side to it, 828 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.480 And this just hit me, what is the chances do 829 00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.960 you think that if it is that systemic and that 830 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.079 ninety percent fifty percent of the elected officials are on 831 00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:10.920 that list, what do you think is a likelihood of 832 00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:16.679 Trump pardoning all of them to gain more favor to 833 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:21.159 where they will vote, however he says, to vote to 834 00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:25.159 pass whatever legislation he wants to pass because now he's 835 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:26.320 got leverage over them. 836 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:31.960 I don't know that seems like political suicide because if 837 00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:34.679 if you have people who are known on the. 838 00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:38.199 List, like hey, all right, everybody, we know the list, 839 00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.039 but they're really good guys, and I'm in a party like. 840 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:46.800 That would be giving a big middle finger to literally everybody. 841 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.880 But that's literally what he's done thus far, which is Laane. 842 00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:51.920 You know, she was a great girl. I wish you 843 00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:53.519 the best. You know, I do have the right to 844 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:55.159 pardon her. Like wait, but. 845 00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:57.760 He still hasn't done it. But he hasn't done it, 846 00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:03.000 so okay, you're right. There's a difference between maybe threatening 847 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:05.400 it or putting it out there in the in the 848 00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.360 ether and actually doing it. If you had all these 849 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:14.239 people either party, but both Republican and Democrat whatever, so 850 00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:16.280 oh well, you know, we already know that. You know, 851 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:19.599 the Republicans are fine, so those guys, it's just a 852 00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:21.639 hook for them, and we already know that the Democrats 853 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:25.239 are like that would just be a bad move. 854 00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.440 I agree. But also, this is Trump's last term in office. 855 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:33.800 He doesn't care, but hear me out. There's been murmurs 856 00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.159 in the conspiracy space to say that Trump is going 857 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:41.079 to try to do something outlandish to go for a 858 00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:46.079 third term. To get that approved, he would need Congress 859 00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.119 and the Senate to vote yes on that. This is 860 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.159 also the same guy who literally wrote the book The 861 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.119 Art of the Deal, where leverage is mentioned more than 862 00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:01.440 a few times. I don't know. I don't know, but 863 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:04.760 I could see that also being a potential way for 864 00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.840 this to play out. That everybody gets implemented, and the 865 00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:12.599 same day that their names get dropped, he has a 866 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:14.880 closed door meeting with all of them and says, listen, 867 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:17.119 I'll pardon you, but you're gonna play ball my way. 868 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:18.519 I don't give a fuck if you have a D 869 00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:20.880 AN R and I A L A G. I don't 870 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.880 care what letter designation is on your desk. You're gonna 871 00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:26.960 vote the way I want you to vote, or this 872 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.440 pardon goes way. I don't. I hope that doesn't happen. 873 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:31.840 But at the same time, like you said, that would 874 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:36.280 be political suicide. But do you also think that Donald 875 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.480 Trump cares about that at this time? I don't. I 876 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.960 don't know. I hope he would, but I cannot say 877 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.000 with certainty that he actually cares about that. 878 00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:48.079 Anymore so I don't. So when I say political students, 879 00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:50.599 I don't necessarily mean just for him, because as you said, 880 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:55.199 he is completed. I mean, unless there's a third whatever term. 881 00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:58.159 I'm saying more for the party itself. 882 00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:03.400 Because then being a Republican or whatever, than anybody in 883 00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:06.039 the future be like is going to remember, Hey, well, 884 00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:10.400 this Republican hardened these people, so let's keep these people 885 00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:11.239 out of office. 886 00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:14.800 So that's what I'm really going towards. It's more of 887 00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:17.039 a the macro than the micro. 888 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:19.639 No no, I hear you, I do. But let's also 889 00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:23.360 remember that Biden pardoned how many people within hours of 890 00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:27.400 him leaving the Oval office, which a lot of people 891 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:29.159 would have said, and we even said on The Cult 892 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.400 of Conspiracy that that was basically suicide for the Democrat Party. 893 00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:34.519 All Donald Trump has to do is come in and 894 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.079 do a decent job, and there probably won't be another 895 00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:42.119 Democrat elected again for the next twenty years. I could envision, 896 00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.719 especially if this is so systemic that it's so rampant 897 00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.320 on both sides of the aisle. It's I don't know, 898 00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.000 it's not like if those are the only two options 899 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.639 for present next election cycle that we have, or a 900 00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:57.480 Republican or a Democrat. Even though it's true that the 901 00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:01.519 Democrats are fraught with corruption and that the Republicans are 902 00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:05.239 also fraught with corruption, that that's the way politics goes. 903 00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:08.199 You're only ever left to vote for a third sandwich 904 00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:11.320 or a douche. There's no there's no third or better 905 00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:14.840 option that's ever really been gotten real weight behind it. 906 00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:18.719 I don't know, man, I'm hoping that we are speculating 907 00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:25.079 into wild, untrue things. But man, the possibilities here are endless. 908 00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:27.840 So so I'll just say one more thing and then 909 00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:30.360 we can move on. So my only rebuttal as far 910 00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:33.840 as the difference between what Biden did and let's to say, 911 00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:38.960 what Trump would could theoretically, potentially hypothetically do, is that 912 00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.679 there were so many names that I think a lot 913 00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:46.039 of it just got lost to the ether, as opposed 914 00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:49.159 to let's to say, if if you have one, two, 915 00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:54.360 three hundred names and everybody knows them, there's gonna be 916 00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.440 a much larger spotlight because like, even though I don't remember, 917 00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.960 if you guys in the Cubic Conspiracy did an app 918 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.000 episode on all the people that he pardoned, because if 919 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:08.519 you because if there were how many, how many hundreds 920 00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:11.920 or one thousands or whatever, So unless you really take 921 00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:13.639 a look at every single one of those names, and 922 00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:19.920 just like it's John Smith, Sally Jane, like you know, 923 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.960 most people aren't going to pay attention because there are 924 00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:28.000 so many, but this would be such a small or 925 00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:32.760 less maybe it's but that's it. 926 00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:35.920 No, no, I hear you. And it's possible that this 927 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.320 would be a small list. But keep in mind they 928 00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:41.639 may not release it if it would jeopardize an active 929 00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:46.519 federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that such withholding is 930 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.920 narrowly tailored and temporary. That's the other thing, so they 931 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:55.039 may Even if all these politicians are implemented, Trump might 932 00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:58.400 still order his DOJ to withhold that information because it's 933 00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:04.159 quote unquote hindering a ongoing investigation, and by temporary he 934 00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:06.519 means ten years down the road, and he might use 935 00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:10.360 that as leverage to enact certain laws to get passed 936 00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:15.519 that he wants passed. I don't know. I'm oh, it's dirty, dirty. 937 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:19.079 Continue on. It says none were accused of wrongdoing or 938 00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:22.880 implicated in any criminal activity in these emails, but Bondi 939 00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:26.760 ordered a US attorney to comply with Trump's directive. It's 940 00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:30.039 unclear how that might affect files being released. There is 941 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:34.920 also an exception authorized under criteria established by an executive 942 00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:38.360 order to be kept secret in the interest of national 943 00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:42.400 defense or foreign policy. The bill's language makes it clear 944 00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:46.239 that the bar to withhold information is high. Quote. No 945 00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:49.840 records shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis 946 00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:55.079 of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any 947 00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.599 government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary. At least that's 948 00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:04.719 the verb. But again, I'm hoping that that's very accurate, 949 00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:06.599 and I hope that I'm just looking at things with 950 00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:10.199 the worst black pill mind that there is. I could 951 00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:13.280 also see Trump having a lot of closed door meetings 952 00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:18.639 with hundreds and hundreds of politicians in DC, basically saying, listen, 953 00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:22.280 your name will be dropped today unless you don't bend 954 00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.920 the knee. But I'm a Republican. I didn't fucking ask you. 955 00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:28.599 I'm telling you, if you don't start voting the way 956 00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:32.440 that I tell you to vote, your entire reputation and 957 00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:34.800 career and life because you're going to serve life in 958 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.960 prison for this is screwed. I could see that going down. 959 00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.039 I could see it going down. Weren't these documents already 960 00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:44.800 supposed to be turned over by Congress. The House Oversight 961 00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:48.039 Committee subpoena the Justice Department for the entirety of its 962 00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:52.239 Epstein files in August. The subpoena called for quote all 963 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:56.719 documents and communications relating or referring to end quote e 964 00:55:56.800 --> 00:55:58.480 f Cein and Maxwell to be turned over to the 965 00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:02.079 committee by the nineteenth of August. The Justice Department later 966 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:04.599 told the panel it needed more time. It turned over 967 00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.480 more than thirty three thousand pages of the panel, which 968 00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:13.360 became public in early September. Representative Robert Garcia of California, 969 00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:16.400 the top Democrat on the committee, said that the vast 970 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:18.840 majority of these records were already public and that only 971 00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:23.360 three percent were new okay. A judge who presided over 972 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.480 in Epstein related case this year said that there are 973 00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:28.960 roughly one hundred thousand pages in the file. The House 974 00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:32.239 Republicans called the documents that had been turned over an 975 00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:36.400 initial batch, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican from Louisiana, 976 00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:39.679 shout out saying this is the beginning, not the end. 977 00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:42.760 But the Justice Department has yet to turn over more 978 00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:46.840 documents to the committee. So now that this is being passed, 979 00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:49.559 is it going to be all? Is it going to 980 00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:51.679 be all? But they're going to be super redacted because 981 00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:54.199 it's still in the middle of ongoing investigations. I don't 982 00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:59.119 know will the DOJ records include Epstein's emails. The committee 983 00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:02.440 has more success so far with other subpoenas, including ones 984 00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:05.360 to the Epstein estate, which last week turned over more 985 00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:09.000 than twenty thousand emails and documents, including correspondences about Trump 986 00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:12.119 and Clinton and with the likes of former Prince Andrew 987 00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:16.079 and Summers, the ex Treasury Secretary at and Harvard President. 988 00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:21.159 The estate also provided the panel with body fiftieth birthday 989 00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.119 card that Trump allegedly sent to Ebstein in two thousand 990 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.920 and three. Trump, who said an initial Wall Street Journal 991 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:29.559 report about the card was made up, denies having sent it. 992 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:33.159 Trump sued over the story's publication. Yeah, remember when he 993 00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:36.199 was like sue crazy. He was suing CBS, He was 994 00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:39.159 suing everybody that was saying anything close to in you 995 00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:44.239 unkind about him. Yeah, he hadn't really been about that lately. Interesting, 996 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:48.360 It's unclear whether the Justice Department previously had any of 997 00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:51.440 the same or any of the information or documents the 998 00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:54.199 estate turned over. None so far seemed to have been 999 00:57:54.239 --> 00:58:00.000 implicated anyone in criminal wrongdoing. Wow, Okay, so that is 1000 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:03.480 that's the situation as of DC as of this moment. 1001 00:58:03.599 --> 00:58:06.800 But with that being said, let's hear from this guy, 1002 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:10.280 Clay Higgins. Now, I gotta tell y'all if you don't 1003 00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:14.440 know who Clay Higgins is. He was a cop who 1004 00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.079 later became the sheriff of his neck of the woods 1005 00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:21.480 in Louisiana. He had a very motivational speech that he 1006 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:24.159 let out. It was a YouTube video went viral where 1007 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:26.840 basically he and his cops all geared up like they 1008 00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:29.239 were ready to kick in a door somewhere. He was 1009 00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:33.559 basically letting the message out to the criminals in his area, 1010 00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:36.480 like if you want the smoke, we're here for you. 1011 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:40.599 And it was excellent. I was a massive fan of 1012 00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:45.400 Clay Higgins until now, literally last week. If you would 1013 00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:47.159 have asked me about him, I would have said nothing 1014 00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.800 but positive things, just raving about the guy. And he 1015 00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:55.760 ran for politics after that. And one because he is 1016 00:58:55.840 --> 00:59:01.280 a staunchly conservative, upright moral guy. Has been his whole thing. 1017 00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:06.480 But he is the only one in Congress who did 1018 00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.039 not vote to release the files. Out of the four 1019 00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:13.760 to twenty eight, he was the only one. It's wild, 1020 00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:16.119 it's a wild thing, but let's talk about it here. 1021 00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:19.480 Republican Clay Higgins was the only House member to vote 1022 00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:22.760 against a bill today or Tuesday that will order the 1023 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.920 Justice Department to release files related to convicted sex offender 1024 00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:29.920 Jeffrey Epstein. Higgins, a conservative with the background in law enforcement, 1025 00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:33.400 said he has been a principled no on the Epstein 1026 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:37.800 File Transparency Act from the beginning. As written, this bill 1027 00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:42.280 reveals in injuries. Yeah, it reveals and injures thousands of 1028 00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:47.079 innocent people, witnesses, people who provided alibi's family members, etc. 1029 00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:51.360 He wrote on Tuesday in a statement on x IF 1030 00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:55.280 enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal 1031 00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:59.360 of criminal investigative files released to a rabid media will 1032 00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:04.519 absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. The Louisiana Republican added, 1033 01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:08.159 not by my vote. The lawmaker, in his official bio, 1034 01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:11.800 touts himself as one of the most conservative members of Congress, 1035 01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.960 which I would have to agree with, and often leans 1036 01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:18.400 into his law enforcement background. He's also a member of 1037 01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.440 the House Freedom Caucus and serves as chair of the 1038 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:26.119 House Oversight and Government Reform Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee, where 1039 01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:29.840 he's tasked with investigating corruption, which I think he'd be 1040 01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:31.639 very well slated for that as a matter of fact, 1041 01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:36.119 So the hardline conservative Throughout his involvement in politics, Higgins 1042 01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.800 has remained in lockstep with key principles that champion for 1043 01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:44.280 smaller government, lower taxes, secure borders, and individual freedoms. He 1044 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:48.400 is close ties with organizations that advance those core components, 1045 01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:52.639 including three Percenters, which are known for promoting a decentralized 1046 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.320 and anti government movement. Shout out to the three Percenters 1047 01:00:55.320 --> 01:00:58.320 out there, in addition to the oath Keepers, who define 1048 01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:01.400 themselves as a far right anti gover government militia. Also 1049 01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:03.239 shout out to the Oathkeepers. I like both of those 1050 01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:06.679 groups to be honest with you. The Louisiana lawmakers resigned 1051 01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:10.079 from the Saint Landry Pearis Sheriff's office after comments he 1052 01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:13.880 made online drew backlash from the local American Civil Liberties Union. 1053 01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:18.719 According to KLFY. Eight years later, he came under fire 1054 01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:22.760 again for criticizing Haitian immigrants and making racist comments after 1055 01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:26.880 President Trump and VP Vance made false claims that they 1056 01:01:26.920 --> 01:01:31.119 were stealing and eating dogs in Ohio, which wasn't false. 1057 01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:34.800 There was a video that was released of a woman 1058 01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:39.599 doing that, but that was a let's call it intellectually 1059 01:01:39.639 --> 01:01:43.079 dishonest because they made it sound like that was a 1060 01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:47.800 epidemic in Ohio. That was one case of a woman 1061 01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:51.679 who was so drugged out of her mind that I 1062 01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:53.239 don't even know that she knows that she was a 1063 01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:56.280 human at that moment. But yes, there was a video 1064 01:01:56.400 --> 01:01:59.199 of a woman eating a dog squatting on a sidewalk. 1065 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:01.440 It was raw to like just killed the dog, just 1066 01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:04.159 was like gnawing on it. So it was like that 1067 01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:07.039 was a thing, but it was portrayed to be a 1068 01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:12.360 much bigger deal than it actually was. So fair, he says, Lol, 1069 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:16.079 these Haitians are wild eating pets, voodoo, nastiest country in 1070 01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:19.760 the Western Hemisphere, colts, slapstick gangsters, but damn that they 1071 01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:23.079 don't feel all sophisticated now filing charges against our president 1072 01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:26.000 and VP. He deleted the post, but that was the 1073 01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:28.800 post on X at one point in time. All these 1074 01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:32.000 thugs better getting their minds right and their asses out 1075 01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:35.320 of our country before January twentieth, he added at the time, 1076 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:39.639 referring to the presidential inauguration date. So all right, this 1077 01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:42.639 guy himself again, I was a massive fan of his, 1078 01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:46.400 But he's saying that releasing these files are going to 1079 01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:51.960 hurt innocent people. Those names are gonna be redacted obviously, 1080 01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:55.719 So what is he talking about here? I don't know. 1081 01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:58.039 We're actually gonna play this little clip from the Hill 1082 01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:01.000 where this article is from, to learn more together about this. 1083 01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:03.519 Out as a long shot is now on the verge 1084 01:03:03.519 --> 01:03:06.960 of becoming a reality, with Congress passing the bill to 1085 01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.559 essentially release the Epstein files. 1086 01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:11.199 The bill is past. 1087 01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:14.960 The House voted tuesday to force the Justice Department to 1088 01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:19.159 release all unclassified files related to Jeffrey Epstein. 1089 01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:21.599 It's time for the Epstein class to go to be 1090 01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:25.000 held accountable. It was an overwhelming vote, four hundred and 1091 01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:26.079 twenty seven to one. 1092 01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:27.400 I hope they hang them. 1093 01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.960 I literally hang them with a rope and a tree. 1094 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.519 Survivors of Epstein's crimes were on Capitol Hill ahead of 1095 01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:35.400 the vote. 1096 01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:38.920 Putting your Shane and your story out there and like 1097 01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:42.239 owning it is not easy at all for any of us. 1098 01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:46.280 Just hours later, unanimous consent to clear the Senate once 1099 01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:47.679 the bill arrives today. 1100 01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:50.480 They've worked so hard and long to make this happen. 1101 01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:56.039 At the White House, President Trump hosted the Saudi Crown Prince, 1102 01:03:56.360 --> 01:04:00.000 his first visit since US intelligence said he likely ordered 1103 01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.559 the murder of journalist Jamal Kashogi. 1104 01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:05.920 Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, 1105 01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:07.599 but he knew nothing about it. 1106 01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:09.800 It's painful and it's a huge mistake. And you'll do 1107 01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:12.000 an all missus that this does happen again. 1108 01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:14.760 And the White House says President Trump plans to sign 1109 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:18.639 the Epstein Transparency Act once it makes it to his desk. 1110 01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:23.519 All right, So moving on here, let's uh actually know what, 1111 01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:26.239 We're gonna skip ahead and talk about the Saudi Prince 1112 01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:28.239 because I was actually gonna bring that up a little 1113 01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:30.239 bit later, but we might as well bring it up now, 1114 01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.119 because boy, oh boy, the Saudi Prince is talking about 1115 01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:38.440 spending some serious chick chunk of change in America right now. 1116 01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:41.480 It was somewhere around like six hundred million that just 1117 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:46.000 got brought up to a billion dollars. And there's talks 1118 01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:50.719 of him also joining certain uh gee, you know, certain groups, 1119 01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:54.559 certain groups. I don't know. But as Trump was going 1120 01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:57.440 on about the Epstein files and this is getting passed, now, 1121 01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:01.079 let's talk about the Saudi Arabian it brings who just 1122 01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:04.039 made his way to America and the amount of money 1123 01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:07.679 he is about to pour into America. Let's learn about 1124 01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:08.119 this together. 1125 01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:10.639 One week for Congress to release the Epstein files. 1126 01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:11.800 Why not just do it now? 1127 01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:15.559 Well, it's not the question that I mind. It's your additive. 1128 01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:18.920 I think you are a terrible reporter. You just keep 1129 01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:22.039 going on the Epstein files. And what the Epstein is 1130 01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:25.280 is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not 1131 01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:27.199 to be able to talk about the twenty one trillion 1132 01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.079 dollars that I talked about today. It's a hoax. 1133 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.440 President Trump going sports to earth on reporters and Democrats 1134 01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:37.440 for trying to distract from his major domestic and foreign 1135 01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:40.000 policy wins with what he says is the Epstein hoax. 1136 01:05:40.440 --> 01:05:43.679 As lawmakers on Capitol Hill advanced the Epstein measure, Trump 1137 01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:47.159 was making new security guarantees and trillion dollar deals at 1138 01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:49.519 the White House. We have the very latest on both 1139 01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:52.000 developing stories, and thank you for joining us. I'm jan 1140 01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:55.239 Jeff Cote. It is Wednesday, November nineteenth, and this morning 1141 01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:58.719 President Trump is set to deliver remarks at an investment 1142 01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.760 form meant to the growing alliance between the US and 1143 01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:06.000 Saudi Arabia. It also comes after Trump did secure major 1144 01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:08.719 economic and work commitments from the Crown Prince during his 1145 01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:09.320 visit to. 1146 01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:09.920 The White House. 1147 01:06:10.280 --> 01:06:10.960 Saudi Arabia. 1148 01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:13.320 SI is going to increase as six hundred billion dollar 1149 01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:17.480 investment into the US, who is staggering one trillion dollars. 1150 01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:22.280 Saudi Arabia also considering joining the Abraham Accords, and Trump 1151 01:06:22.360 --> 01:06:27.280 has officially declared them a major non NATO ally. We 1152 01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:28.719 want to get ray to Mark Boyle at the Live 1153 01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:31.519 desk following the very latest, very historic mark this alliance 1154 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:33.519 growing stronger by the minute, it scenes. What can we 1155 01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:34.119 expect today? 1156 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:37.199 More meetings today here in d C. Saudi Arabia slowly 1157 01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:40.760 becoming a top US ally under the Trump administration, no. 1158 01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:41.519 Doubt about that. 1159 01:06:41.639 --> 01:06:44.599 After hosting several events for the Crown Prince Muhammed bin 1160 01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:47.119 Salmon at the White House, the two sides expected to 1161 01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:50.199 meet again to get today at the Kennedy Center here 1162 01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:52.920 in d C. They'll meet by and with tech firms, 1163 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:55.079 investment firms from around the world, and not just DC 1164 01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:58.039 elites or elected leaders, all with the goal here of 1165 01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:01.039 drumming up business and more innovation now. In the past 1166 01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:04.840 twenty four hours, the President also underlined the military cooperation 1167 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:06.039 between the two sides. 1168 01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:10.360 We're taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by 1169 01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:16.280 formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non NATO ally, 1170 01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:20.679 which is something that is very important to them. And 1171 01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:22.599 I'm just telling you now for the first time because 1172 01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:24.719 they wanted to keep a little secret for tonight. 1173 01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:28.079 Another big headline, the Middle Eastern nation is going to 1174 01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:31.079 increase its investments into the United States by billions of 1175 01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:34.199 dollars now, bringing the total investments into the US to 1176 01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:35.599 one trillion dollars. 1177 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:39.639 Real investment and real opportunity by details in many areas 1178 01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:43.320 and the agreement that we are signing today in many areas, 1179 01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:48.519 and technology, AI and materials magnet. As you said mis 1180 01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:50.880 to the President, it's the most hottest country and the planet. 1181 01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:54.079 But what you are creating is not about opportunity today. 1182 01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:56.599 It's about also long term opportunity. And I said to 1183 01:07:56.599 --> 01:07:59.119 America that would affict American economy positively. 1184 01:07:59.159 --> 01:08:01.480 In the President's to be at Kennedy Center at noon 1185 01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:04.480 today to deliver remarks at the US Saudi Investment Forum. 1186 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:06.159 We'll track that for you here at the live desk. 1187 01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:13.760 So, Saudi Arabia has decided to up their investment in America, 1188 01:08:14.280 --> 01:08:17.039 and uh yeah, most of that is in f thirty fives. 1189 01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:21.359 Most of that are in fighters, which I'm not necessarily 1190 01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:25.720 mad at. But also, oh my god, one trillion dollars 1191 01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:29.840 is not that's not small. That's not small whatsoever. So 1192 01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.159 let's learn a little bit more about this today. This 1193 01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:38.640 is from CNBC dot com. Their economic arm anyway, from 1194 01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:42.239 one trillion dollars spending to f thirty fives. US Saudi 1195 01:08:42.279 --> 01:08:45.800 pledges aren't done deals yet. The key points of this 1196 01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:47.960 before we dive into the meat and potatoes of it. 1197 01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:50.520 Trump rolled out the red carpet for Saudi Arabia's de 1198 01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:53.600 facto ruler as he arrived in Washington for talks ranging 1199 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:57.960 from security to civil nuclear energy partnerships. The leaders signed 1200 01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:01.159 a defense cooperation packed and held discussestions about the sale 1201 01:09:01.199 --> 01:09:03.800 of American AT thirty five fighter jets to the Kingdom. 1202 01:09:04.079 --> 01:09:06.720 The White House said Saudi Arabia has pledged to increase 1203 01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:09.560 it's already promised six hundred billion worth of investments in 1204 01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:13.640 US to one trillion. Let's get into it now. The 1205 01:09:13.720 --> 01:09:18.399 US President trumpeted Saudi Arabia's one trillion dollar investment pledge 1206 01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:21.399 in the States and the potential sale of American fighter 1207 01:09:21.479 --> 01:09:25.279 jets to Riad, but experts say there are lingering doubts 1208 01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:28.720 over whether such deals will materialize. We talked about Trump 1209 01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.840 rolling out the red carpet Da da DA. The US 1210 01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:36.199 visits by Mohammed Ben Salmon, or NBS as he's widely known, 1211 01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:38.880 was not without controversy, as it was the first time 1212 01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:42.359 he had visited the States since the killing of the 1213 01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:48.159 Saudi critic and journalist Jamal Koshogi in twenty eighteen. US 1214 01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:51.079 intelligence determined that the Crown prints had approved the operation 1215 01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:55.439 that led to Kashoki's death in a Saudi Arabian consulate 1216 01:09:55.479 --> 01:09:59.239 in Istanbul, but Riad denied any involvement in the murder. 1217 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:03.880 He approved of that it was not involved. Sure, that's 1218 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:07.039 a hot take. Undeterred by global outrage over the death 1219 01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:11.159 of Kushogi, end question marks over Saudi Arabia's rehabilitation and 1220 01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:15.119 initiative or invitation to the White House. Rather, Trump and 1221 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:19.319 NBS said they had finalized a series of landmark agreements 1222 01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.680 that deepened the US SAWDY strategic partnership. Among them, the 1223 01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:25.840 White House said in a statement, was the Saudi's pledge 1224 01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:29.039 to increase the spending or the investment rather from six 1225 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:33.479 one hundred billion dollars to one trillion in May or 1226 01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:35.199 in May had said six hundred billion. Now it's saying 1227 01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:38.800 one trillion. The White House said the bump reflected deepening 1228 01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:42.720 trust and momentum for the United States under President Trump's leadership. 1229 01:10:43.079 --> 01:10:46.000 No further detail was given as to a timescale around 1230 01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:49.680 that trillion dollar investment. However, a one trillion dollar investment 1231 01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:53.279 is equal to Saudi Arabia's annual economic output in twenty 1232 01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:58.039 twenty three of one point zero seven trillion dollars. Wow, 1233 01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:02.920 and eka economists question whether that level of investment would 1234 01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:06.640 or could materialize anytime soon. Is a direct quote here 1235 01:11:06.640 --> 01:11:10.760 from Paul Donnovan, the chief economist at GBS Global Wealth Management. 1236 01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:14.359 These sorts of pledges have become regular features of the 1237 01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:17.359 international landscape, even when, as in the case of the 1238 01:11:17.359 --> 01:11:20.760 EU and its pledged investment into the United States as 1239 01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:24.319 part of a trade deal, there's absolutely no enforcement mechanism 1240 01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:28.039 available to put the Saudi pledge in context that is 1241 01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:31.600 equivalent of almost an entire year's GDP for the Kingdom. 1242 01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:34.720 The pledge may not therefore be honored in the near term, 1243 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:38.159 he cautioned. And that's true. I mean, I don't think 1244 01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:40.680 anybody's really expecting for that to be handed over in 1245 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:43.840 one lump sum. But even still, even if that's spread 1246 01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:46.640 out over the course of the next ten years, that's 1247 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:50.199 still massive. Now, let's talk about the F thirty fives. 1248 01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:54.560 In addition to the investment pledges, Trump and NBS discussed 1249 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.039 the sale of F thirty five fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, 1250 01:11:57.079 --> 01:11:59.279 with the kingdom reportedly looking to buy as many as 1251 01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:01.920 forty eight of the stealth fighter jets in what could 1252 01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:05.640 be a multi billion dollar deal. The President approved a 1253 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.840 major defense sale package, including future F thirty five deliveries, 1254 01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:13.159 which strengthen the US defense industrial base and ensure Saudi 1255 01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.840 Arabia continues to buy American the w No details were 1256 01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:19.760 given on the number of planes sold or any timeframe 1257 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:23.239 for their supply. Fair enough, Uh, let's see, is this 1258 01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:25.720 a video talking about the deal. I'm not going to 1259 01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:28.000 read on that one. It's cool. The F thirty five 1260 01:12:28.079 --> 01:12:31.039 deal in focus, it's whatever. Such a sale could prove 1261 01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:35.399 controversial with the US lawmakers, whose sympathies and allegiances has 1262 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:39.800 traditionally led towards Israel, the US's main and long standing 1263 01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.199 ally in the Middle East. Israel is currently the only 1264 01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:45.359 country in the Middle East to have F thirty five's 1265 01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:48.079 and any sale of such advanced stealth technology to Saudi 1266 01:12:48.119 --> 01:12:51.159 Arabia could be seen as risky, having the potential to 1267 01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:55.239 shift military and power dynamics in the fractioned, fractious region. 1268 01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:58.239 For its part, the IDF is reportedly unhappy at the 1269 01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:01.439 prospect of F thirty five deal with Saudi Arabia, warning 1270 01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:05.079 that Israel's air superiority in the region would be jeopardized. Yeah, 1271 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:07.600 I know, though, but isn't Israel the one controlling on 1272 01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:11.039 Membo codo. I thought Israel runs on Memboco. Yeah, they 1273 01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:14.319 used to, They used to. That's there is a changing 1274 01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:18.239 of the guard happening right now. Katar is making very 1275 01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:20.880 big plays right now. Saudi Arabia is making very big 1276 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.640 plays right now the UAE as far as that goes, 1277 01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:28.760 Trump is looking to make a better ally of multiple 1278 01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:32.199 countries in the Middle East, not just Israel, and a 1279 01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:34.600 lot of people are gonna just reject that outright and 1280 01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:36.880 say that it's clearly Israel and the Jews that are 1281 01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:40.600 making this happen, even though selling Saudi Arabia F thirty 1282 01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:45.600 five's spits in the face of that whole conversation. But okay, sure, 1283 01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:49.119 Trump shrugged off those concerns, selling reporters in the Oval 1284 01:13:49.159 --> 01:13:52.399 Office on Tuesday that we'll be selling F thirty fives, 1285 01:13:52.720 --> 01:13:56.399 although he alluded to Israel's discontent, noting this is a 1286 01:13:56.479 --> 01:13:59.680 great ally, and Israel is a great ally talking about 1287 01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:03.079 Saudia with this, I know they'd like to get planes 1288 01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:05.800 of reduced caliber, But as far as I'm concerned, I 1289 01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:07.600 think they are both at a level where they should 1290 01:14:07.640 --> 01:14:11.960 get top of the line. He added. Okay, analysis say, 1291 01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:14.760 giving Saudi Arabia F thirty fives before it has signaled 1292 01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:19.079 or signed rather the Abraham Accords, thereby normalizing relationships with Israel, 1293 01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:23.600 would be a reward too far for RIAD. Saudi Arabia 1294 01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:27.760 is an important US security partner, and increasing bilateral defense 1295 01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:31.279 cooperation can further common interest and support efforts to build 1296 01:14:31.319 --> 01:14:35.880 a regional security architecture that more effectively deters and defeats aggression. 1297 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:39.279 That's from Bradley Bowman, a senior director at the Foundation 1298 01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:44.119 of Defense of Democracies. Which is crazy because Saudi Arabia 1299 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:48.720 is not a democracy. But okay. However, before providing RIOD 1300 01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:52.039 with the F thirty five's, Washington should address concerns related 1301 01:14:52.079 --> 01:14:58.039 to riod's relationship with China, follow the law regarding Israel's qualitative, 1302 01:14:58.520 --> 01:15:04.399 qualitative military edge, and demand Saudi Arabia's first normalized relations 1303 01:15:04.479 --> 01:15:10.920 with Israel. That's very fair. That's fair anyway. So talking 1304 01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:13.800 about the long road to supply, lingering and deep seated 1305 01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:16.239 differences over a two state solution could give the White 1306 01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:18.840 House reasons to hesitate over the supply of F thirty 1307 01:15:18.840 --> 01:15:21.800 five to Saudi Arabia. Analysis noted, it's one thing to 1308 01:15:21.800 --> 01:15:24.319 announce big deals. It's one thing to announce that Saudi 1309 01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:27.039 Arabia will be permitted to buy F thirty fives and 1310 01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:31.600 with advanced self abilities. But it's another thing to actually 1311 01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:34.880 have planes touching down and taking off from Saudi runways. 1312 01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:38.279 That's from Paul Musgrave, an associate professor of Government at 1313 01:15:38.279 --> 01:15:42.920 Georgetown University in Katar. Interesting and between here and there, 1314 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:45.760 there's a lot of details. And when you start to 1315 01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:49.800 get into the details about what's going to transfer what technology, 1316 01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:52.840 at what point that's where Congress, which is I think 1317 01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:55.079 fair to say a little bit more friendly towards Israel 1318 01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:58.600 than towards Saudi Arabia, is going to have some input. Again, 1319 01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:01.760 that's a very fair Now, that's not to say that 1320 01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:04.039 this deal is not going to go through, because of 1321 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:08.159 course Israel has also has suffered some reverses in its 1322 01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:11.039 public standing. But there is going to be, I think, 1323 01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:14.880 probably a decently long road between where we are and 1324 01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:18.199 where we get to. That's what he told CBS in 1325 01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:22.279 squawk Box in Europe. So anyway, the F thirty fives 1326 01:16:22.319 --> 01:16:25.520 are a pretty solid linchpin in this deal with Saudi Arabia. 1327 01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:28.720 But even still, for them to invest a trillion dollars 1328 01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:32.600 in the United States, that's massive. That say what you 1329 01:16:32.680 --> 01:16:36.079 want about lobbyist money making its way into certain politicians pockets, 1330 01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:39.840 that's not this level. And I don't know off the 1331 01:16:39.880 --> 01:16:43.199 top of my head how many countries are openly wanting 1332 01:16:43.239 --> 01:16:48.039 to invest to this level in US soil. I just 1333 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:49.760 I don't know of many off the top of my head. 1334 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:53.880 But anyway, all right, moving on here, as we were 1335 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:57.399 talking about the DOJ and all of these things, I 1336 01:16:57.399 --> 01:16:59.680 think it's also kind of interesting to read this one. 1337 01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:03.680 Have y'all heard about the Olympic Canadian snowboarder who just 1338 01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:09.079 made the CIA's top ten most wanted individuals Because I hadn't. 1339 01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:13.039 Let's learn about this together, This is pretty crazy. 1340 01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.199 I'm Christine for Zowen, Washington, where the US State Department 1341 01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:21.359 has just raised the reward from ten to fifteen million 1342 01:17:21.479 --> 01:17:24.199 dollars for information leading to the arrest of a former 1343 01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:28.079 Olympian from Canada. In a brand new indictment, Ryan James 1344 01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:31.279 Wedding is charged with two additional counts of witness tampering 1345 01:17:31.319 --> 01:17:36.279 and intimidation, murder, money laundering, and drug trafficking. That's on 1346 01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:40.079 top of previous charges against him from the two thousand 1347 01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:44.439 and two Winter Olympics. Canadian snowboarder Ryan James Wedding more 1348 01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.760 recently gained notoriety for something else, landing on the FBI's 1349 01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:51.079 top ten most wanted list. 1350 01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:55.520 Make no mistake, Ryan Wedding is extremely dangerous, He's extremely violent, 1351 01:17:55.880 --> 01:18:00.399 and he's extremely wealthy. He's being protected by the Alaloa 1352 01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:03.199 cartel along with others in the country. 1353 01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:04.560 In Mexico, charges. 1354 01:18:04.239 --> 01:18:08.479 Include running a transnational drug operation that shipped massive amounts 1355 01:18:08.479 --> 01:18:13.479 of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and especially cocaine through Columbia and 1356 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:17.479 Mexico for distribution in Canada and the United States. 1357 01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:22.680 That's how much cocaine the weight of forty cars he 1358 01:18:22.800 --> 01:18:25.760 is bringing into our country a year. 1359 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:29.039 He and his associates are also accused of money laundering, 1360 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:32.880 witness tampering, and of orchestrating the murders of several people, 1361 01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:36.600 including an FBI witness shot in the head five times 1362 01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:38.039 in a restaurant in Medaine. 1363 01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:40.439 His lawyer told him, if you kill this witness, the 1364 01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.479 case would be dismissed. 1365 01:18:41.800 --> 01:18:44.439 That lawyer is now in custody, while Wedding. 1366 01:18:44.079 --> 01:18:46.760 Is still at large. Several other people connected to him 1367 01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:50.399 have now been arrested, the State Department offering fifteen million 1368 01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:53.159 dollars for information leading to his arrest. 1369 01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:56.680 Best for those of you out there that have any 1370 01:18:56.680 --> 01:19:00.560 information on Ryan Wedding, now is the time to speak up. 1371 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:02.279 Now is the time to help US. 1372 01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:06.000 Justice Department officials made clear their counterparts in both Canada 1373 01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:09.680 and Mexico are cooperating in this effort. They say several 1374 01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:13.520 arrests have already been made, just not the most important one. 1375 01:19:14.439 --> 01:19:18.439 Okay, So yeah, Ryan Wedding, I'm be honest with you. 1376 01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:21.279 I'm uh, I don't keep my finger on the pulse 1377 01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:26.920 of Canadian Olympia, olympiads or anything like that. But apparently 1378 01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:30.560 after he made his way to the Olympics, he turned 1379 01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:34.319 into a drug kingpin and uh yeah he is at 1380 01:19:34.399 --> 01:19:37.319 large as of time recording, and the State Department is 1381 01:19:37.359 --> 01:19:39.800 offering millions of dollars for information on him. Before I 1382 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:41.920 get to this article, Sam, I see your hand raised, brother, 1383 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:42.439 what you got? 1384 01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:47.319 I'm just talking about a celebrity tone motor. 1385 01:19:47.479 --> 01:19:50.479 Did you do you remember the power of Wildforce pile 1386 01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:55.920 injur show early two thousands, so that the Red Rangers 1387 01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.039 from that show is sitting in prison for motor he 1388 01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:02.960 h to the show ended. He ended up trying to 1389 01:20:03.159 --> 01:20:08.239 get a yacht. He tricked the older couple into get 1390 01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:11.399 going on out to the taking them on the yacht 1391 01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:16.159 to go sell it like a practice, driving everything for it. Well, 1392 01:20:16.159 --> 01:20:18.880 he ended up killing them, robbing them and throwing their 1393 01:20:18.920 --> 01:20:24.279 bodies over water. And uh his pregnant baby mama is 1394 01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.279 the one who turned him in and everything. 1395 01:20:26.680 --> 01:20:28.720 Uh all because he wouldn't give her the money. 1396 01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:30.119 Wow. 1397 01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:33.760 Yeah, I just found that today. 1398 01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:37.399 I was today years old when I found that out myself. Sam. 1399 01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:41.159 Okay, apparently Power Rangers aren't always what they cracked up 1400 01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:41.359 to be. 1401 01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:44.840 Dog. That is a fact. That is a fact, And 1402 01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:47.439 apparently need Olympic snowboarders. 1403 01:20:47.880 --> 01:20:53.239 So Austin rest in piece, Jason David Frank, you were 1404 01:20:53.279 --> 01:20:57.439 a real one, Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger and Light Ranger. 1405 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:00.760 Yeah, yeah, he was indeed the real one. He did 1406 01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:03.039 uh F'm not mistake and take his own life correct. 1407 01:21:04.039 --> 01:21:08.279 Yeah, but there's uh some kind of fishy stuff about. 1408 01:21:08.079 --> 01:21:12.119 That, and we might do an episode on him. 1409 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:14.399 Yeah, I'm not gonnae. 1410 01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:18.479 I called because he was my favorite Power Enginer and 1411 01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:21.960 I had every Power Engine movie from the nineties up 1412 01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:26.039 to SPD on VHS and he was my favorite Power Enger. 1413 01:21:26.359 --> 01:21:29.439 Nice dude, Yeah, all right, p all right, So let's 1414 01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:31.920 read in here. It says a former Olympic snowboarder who 1415 01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:35.079 officials say runs one of the most violent drug trafficking 1416 01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:38.520 organizations in the world, faces new charges related to the 1417 01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:41.560 murder of a federal witness. In the case against him, 1418 01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:45.520 officials said Ryan James Wedding placed a bounty on the 1419 01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:48.800 witness's head in the erroneous belief that the victim's death 1420 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:51.920 would result in the dismissal of criminal charges against him 1421 01:21:52.199 --> 01:21:55.600 and his international drug trafficking ring. He is alleged to 1422 01:21:55.640 --> 01:21:58.239 have used a Canadian website to post images of the 1423 01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:01.760 witness and his wife to locate him. Official said at 1424 01:22:01.800 --> 01:22:05.079 a news conference Wednesday. The witness was fatally shot at 1425 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:07.880 a restaurant before he could testify against Wedding, and an 1426 01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:12.079 indictment unsealed Wednesday. Wedding was charged with murder, witness, tampering 1427 01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:16.199 and intimidation, money laundering, and drug trafficking. Yeah. He's uh, 1428 01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:19.640 he's getting quite the as far as this goes. If 1429 01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:22.720 he was in GTA, he's doing everything he can to 1430 01:22:22.760 --> 01:22:26.239 get that five star rating right now. Good lord. And again, 1431 01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:29.199 I I didn't know that Canada got down like this. 1432 01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:31.359 I know, of course they have their like criminal elements, 1433 01:22:31.399 --> 01:22:35.840 no doubt, But I didn't realize that a former Canadian 1434 01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:39.000 snowboarder would just go to the Sinaloa cartel and be like, hey, 1435 01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:42.520 I'm halfe now and just run that shit. That's wild. 1436 01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:46.079 The new indictment also addresses several other people, including a 1437 01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:49.600 Canadian lawyer who officials say were involved in the murder. Yeah, 1438 01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:52.359 that lawyer that they said is in jail now. The 1439 01:22:52.359 --> 01:22:56.279 State Department increased its reward from ten billion to or million, 1440 01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:59.880 with an m sorry ten million to fifteen million for him. 1441 01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:02.399 That leads to the arrest and or conviction of wedding, 1442 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:06.600 who is on the FBI's ten most Wanted Fugitives list. 1443 01:23:07.079 --> 01:23:09.279 You don't get to be a drug kingpin and evade 1444 01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:12.960 the law, FBI director Cash Hotel said at the news conference. 1445 01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:15.960 Make no mistake about it. Ryan Wedding is a modern 1446 01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:20.199 day iteration of Pablo Escobar. He's a modern iteration of 1447 01:23:20.279 --> 01:23:24.960 El Chapo Guzman. He will not evade justice. Okay, Cash, 1448 01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:27.319 you got enough things on your plate right now. Stop that, 1449 01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:31.359 just just stop that. A kill Davis, Assistant director in 1450 01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:35.479 charge of FBI's Los Angeles Field office, said, officials believe 1451 01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:38.560 he's being protected by the cartel and others in Mexico. 1452 01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:41.760 I would believe that. Please understand that he might change 1453 01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:44.680 his hair color, his appearance, and do anything to avoid capture. 1454 01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:48.880 Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday or Weddings organization is 1455 01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:52.479 responsible for importing about sixty metric tons of cocaine a 1456 01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:57.319 year into Los Angeles via semi truck from Mexico. Yeah. Also, 1457 01:23:58.760 --> 01:24:03.199 you really, Pam, You just said forty cars, that's how 1458 01:24:03.239 --> 01:24:05.840 much weight he's moving in. You don't have to do 1459 01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:09.560 that to say sixty metric tons. I feel like most 1460 01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:12.920 Americans could at least grasp the concept that it's a 1461 01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:15.920 it's a it's a metric fuck ton that your boy 1462 01:24:16.000 --> 01:24:20.079 is moving in to say it's forty cars worth, that's 1463 01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:22.960 kind of dumb. That that was really dumb, because I 1464 01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:26.640 mean cars weigh different things from vehicle to vehicle. I'm 1465 01:24:26.680 --> 01:24:28.800 just saying I don't want to be that guy. But 1466 01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:32.079 there was a way better, like messaging you could have 1467 01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:38.039 used to convey the point. Go ahead, Sam, So a 1468 01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:42.439 metric ton would be too twenty two hundred pounds. 1469 01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:46.279 That's two two hundred pounds, and you said, and you 1470 01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:52.600 said sixty Helmut safety metric tons, so six sixty times 1471 01:24:52.800 --> 01:24:54.319 twenty two that would be what. 1472 01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:57.840 You know what, I'm not even going to try that. 1473 01:24:57.840 --> 01:24:59.840 That made my age, buton hurt, No. 1474 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:02.000 It's a lot. It's what I'm saying, like, it's not 1475 01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.439 a small amount like this did this is kingpin level moves. 1476 01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:06.600 He's moving this well. 1477 01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:09.760 At that point when I'd be like over one hundred 1478 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:12.359 and forty eight thousand, Yes, but a metric ton is 1479 01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:15.399 string too, so that'd be like well one thousand and 1480 01:25:16.119 --> 01:25:18.119 not one and forty eight thousand. 1481 01:25:18.680 --> 01:25:20.399 If I'm not mistaken. 1482 01:25:20.359 --> 01:25:23.439 Uh so, a metric ton is a thousand kilograms, which 1483 01:25:23.479 --> 01:25:29.840 is twenty two forty pounds two two hundred and forty pounds. Yeah, 1484 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:31.880 a short ton, which is what we use in America's 1485 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:36.000 two thousand pounds. Thank you Tony for the clarification. But yeah, 1486 01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:38.800 it's it's a lot. But that's my point to say 1487 01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:42.239 he's moving forty cars worth of weight like that. There 1488 01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:46.159 was that made her look dumb, That's all musta say. 1489 01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:49.520 There was. There's a better way of conveying the message 1490 01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:53.279 than what Pam Bondi said. But anyway, he controls one 1491 01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:55.960 of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in 1492 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:58.960 the world. He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine 1493 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:02.199 in Canada. Yeah, with that kind of weight being moved, 1494 01:26:02.239 --> 01:26:05.800 I could I could imagine that, no doubt. Over the 1495 01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:08.560 course of the investigation, Bondie said, more than thirty five 1496 01:26:08.600 --> 01:26:12.199 people have been indicted, numerous weapons have been seized, about 1497 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:15.760 three point two million dollars in cryptocurrency has been recovered, 1498 01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:19.960 and over thirteen million in physical assets have been confiscated. 1499 01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:23.880 According to the FBI, weddings organization often resorted to violence, 1500 01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:27.800 including orchestrating murders of multiple people. Wedding who represented Canada 1501 01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:29.840 in the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in two 1502 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:33.199 thousand and two, was charged in a September twenty twenty 1503 01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:39.600 four superseding indictment with attempted murder and other counts. Wild things, y'all, 1504 01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:43.720 wild things, you know. Let's see here. So you did 1505 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:46.640 the math on that, Sam, So it is one thousand, 1506 01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:51.640 three hundred or one thousand and thirty four. Jesus, I'm 1507 01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:55.279 misreading this year. Hold on the amount that they are 1508 01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:59.039 accusing him of moving is one hundred and thirty four thousand, 1509 01:26:59.399 --> 01:27:04.760 four hundred pounds. That's yeah, I think that falls well 1510 01:27:04.760 --> 01:27:07.079 within the realm of what we would call a metric 1511 01:27:07.159 --> 01:27:11.960 fuck ton, But yeah, wild things. 1512 01:27:11.479 --> 01:27:13.359 That is life dis. 1513 01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:18.520 Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely all right. So now let's go 1514 01:27:18.600 --> 01:27:25.640 over to this next article from the Economic Times Madeleine Westerhout. 1515 01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:28.239 If you haven't heard of her name, you may soon. 1516 01:27:28.960 --> 01:27:33.239 She denied these defamatory claims that Trump boasted about an 1517 01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:37.239 affair during twenty eighteen shutdown following the release of the 1518 01:27:37.279 --> 01:27:41.920 Epstein linked emails. So, for anybody who doesn't know, this was, 1519 01:27:42.079 --> 01:27:45.199 at one point in time, Trump's assistant and there's a 1520 01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:48.439 lot of people that were saying that Trump was having 1521 01:27:48.439 --> 01:27:50.680 an affair with her, and they've been trying to run 1522 01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:52.960 that story up for the past couple of days, only 1523 01:27:53.000 --> 01:27:55.439 to have the person herself come out and say no, 1524 01:27:56.359 --> 01:27:57.520 nothing like that happened. 1525 01:27:58.159 --> 01:27:58.279 Uh. 1526 01:27:58.479 --> 01:28:01.359 And they were trying to show the track record of 1527 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:04.720 Trump being a prolific cheater of his wives in the 1528 01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:09.039 past as justification for this. But she even herself denied it. 1529 01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:11.920 But let's read it here. Former White House aid Madeline 1530 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:16.079 wester Hout has forcefully rejected claims that President Trump boasted 1531 01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:18.399 two friends about having an affair with her, calling the 1532 01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:23.720 allegations absurd and unhinged from reality. The allegation stems from 1533 01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.159 a twenty nineteen email sent by author Michael Woolfe to 1534 01:28:27.279 --> 01:28:30.880 convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, we're still own the 1535 01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:34.560 Epstein shit. The correspondence, part of the draft manuscript, now 1536 01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:37.640 released among twenty three thousand documents handed over to Congress 1537 01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:40.880 by Epstein's estate, suggested that Trump told friends that he 1538 01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:44.760 was banging quote unquote Western Hought during the twenty eighteen 1539 01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:48.239 Christmas government shutdown while he remained at the White House 1540 01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:51.800 instead of joining his family at mor Lago. Western Hout, 1541 01:28:51.840 --> 01:28:55.640 who served as Trump's personal secretary and later as director 1542 01:28:55.720 --> 01:28:59.039 of Oval Office operations from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen, 1543 01:28:59.479 --> 01:29:03.119 responded to through her lawyer, stating these are absurd in 1544 01:29:03.199 --> 01:29:07.760 defamatory accusations from a discredited writer who has been known 1545 01:29:07.800 --> 01:29:11.079 to pedal falsehoods. The lies in this email are unhinged 1546 01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:14.359 from reality and simply not true. Well, then there you 1547 01:29:14.399 --> 01:29:17.720 have it. I suppose the email did spark controversy. However, 1548 01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.640 the House Oversight Committee released the email as part of 1549 01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:25.319 the larger cache of Epstein related documents. Democrats highlighted several 1550 01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:29.159 exchanges between Epstein and wolf that referenced Trump, Notably, the 1551 01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:33.000 passage naming Wester Howt was removed from Wolfe's twenty nineteen 1552 01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:38.199 book Siege before publication, with her identity excised. In the 1553 01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:42.000 draft shared with Epstein, Wolf describes Trump's choice to spend 1554 01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:45.960 Christmas in twenty eighteen at the White House during the shutdown, 1555 01:29:46.079 --> 01:29:49.920 while First Lady Milania Trump had already departed for Florida. 1556 01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:52.920 According to the manuscript, western Hout had delivered papers to 1557 01:29:52.960 --> 01:29:55.600 the residents, and Trump allegedly told friends that he was 1558 01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:58.560 staying because he was spending time with her. The White 1559 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:02.640 House dismissed the document re past as politically motivated. Press 1560 01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:06.680 Secretary Caroline Levitt labeled her report as bad faith efforts 1561 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:10.680 to distract from President Trump's historic accomplishments. So now, who 1562 01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:14.479 is Madeleine western Holt? She was born October eighth, nineteen 1563 01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:17.960 ninety in Newport Beach, California. Western Holt earned a political 1564 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:20.840 science degree from the College of Charleston in twenty thirteen. 1565 01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:23.359 Prior to her political career, she worked as a fitness 1566 01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:28.479 trainer at Pure Bear Gym in Washington, d c. Interesting 1567 01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:32.239 western Holt began her political journey on Mitt Romney's twenty 1568 01:30:32.279 --> 01:30:35.640 twelve presidential campaign and later hail positions at the Republican 1569 01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:39.640 National Committee starting in twenty thirteen, eventually serving as assistant 1570 01:30:39.680 --> 01:30:43.199 to RNC Chief of Staff Katie Walsh. She joined Trump's 1571 01:30:43.199 --> 01:30:47.479 administration in twenty seventeen as Special Assistant and Executive Assistant 1572 01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.920 to the President, later being promoted in February twenty nineteen 1573 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.079 to Director of Oval Office Operations, with an annual salary 1574 01:30:55.119 --> 01:30:58.159 of one hundred and forty five thousand dollars. During her tenure, 1575 01:30:58.199 --> 01:31:01.960 Trump reportedly referred to her as quote unquote my beauty. 1576 01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:07.039 So the dramatic dismissal. Western Hout's White House career ended 1577 01:31:07.039 --> 01:31:10.279 abruptly in August of twenty nineteen, after she reportedly shared 1578 01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:14.000 personal information about the Trump family and Oval Office operations 1579 01:31:14.279 --> 01:31:17.119 with reporters and an off the record dinner near Trump's 1580 01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:21.720 golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Sources indicated that after 1581 01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:23.960 a couple of drinks, the twenty eight year old boasted 1582 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:26.800 of having a closer relationship with Trump than he did 1583 01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:30.640 with his daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany. She also allegedly remarked 1584 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:33.239 that the president was so unfamiliar with Tiffany that he 1585 01:31:33.279 --> 01:31:36.479 couldnot recognize her in a crowd. Trump addressed her dismissal 1586 01:31:36.520 --> 01:31:39.840 on Twitter, writing that while Madeline Westerhout has a full 1587 01:31:40.039 --> 01:31:44.199 enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person. Now 1588 01:31:44.279 --> 01:31:47.399 I looked into these emails that are in question here. 1589 01:31:48.359 --> 01:31:51.479 It doesn't I'm not saying that they're false. I'm not 1590 01:31:51.520 --> 01:31:55.359 saying that they're true. I'm saying that the claim that 1591 01:31:55.399 --> 01:31:58.319 he was banging his assistant because there was just something 1592 01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:01.720 about her, you know, keep in mind that that's a 1593 01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:04.359 bit crazy. It's a bit wild to say. It's not 1594 01:32:04.439 --> 01:32:07.279 the wildest. Bill Clinton got dome in the Oval office 1595 01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:09.840 from one of his assistants, so it's not like this 1596 01:32:10.039 --> 01:32:13.640 is unprecedented for a president to do. That. Being said, 1597 01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:16.880 Millennia was at the Mar A Lago estate but then 1598 01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:19.439 returned to the White House to spend Christmas Eve and 1599 01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:22.560 Christmas Day with Donald Trump. So I don't know what 1600 01:32:22.680 --> 01:32:24.840 the gap was, if it was a day or three 1601 01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:27.960 days or what, but yeah, the claim. There was also 1602 01:32:28.039 --> 01:32:31.680 a claim that he called for her to bring some 1603 01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:34.039 files to him or something, and then when she got 1604 01:32:34.079 --> 01:32:36.600 to his room, she was he was literally just wearing 1605 01:32:36.600 --> 01:32:40.000 his underwear, which like led to some sort of entanglement. 1606 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:44.760 These claims have also been vehemently denied by her and 1607 01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:48.479 outright rejected. There's also while we're still talking about the 1608 01:32:48.479 --> 01:32:51.199 whole Epstein and Trump and all the claims and emails 1609 01:32:51.199 --> 01:32:55.000 and things, there's also a claim, I don't know how 1610 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:57.680 verified this is. I'm sure we will all be hearing 1611 01:32:57.720 --> 01:32:59.760 about it in the next few days to say that 1612 01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:07.159 Trump apparently spent Thanksgiving with Epstein in twenty eighteen. I 1613 01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:09.159 don't know, and this was after they had their big 1614 01:33:09.199 --> 01:33:13.119 falling out and all these things, this email list and 1615 01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.279 all the files that are about to be released again. 1616 01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:17.319 We talked about it at the beginning of this episode. 1617 01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:21.560 I hope and pray that this leads to a flood 1618 01:33:21.600 --> 01:33:24.600 of information and knowledge to be just released to the public, 1619 01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:26.960 and that justice is served and that we find out 1620 01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:29.720 who is the true shtheads in DC. I just have 1621 01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:33.079 a hard time really seeing any justice get served. I 1622 01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:36.600 don't know. Maybe I just have no hope in humanity anymore. Now, 1623 01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:39.520 this is also interesting. I don't know how many of 1624 01:33:39.560 --> 01:33:43.039 you have heard about the MAGA movement dying in the 1625 01:33:43.079 --> 01:33:48.000 America First movement spawning. These people are wearing these red 1626 01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:50.520 MAGA hats and then they show a picture of them 1627 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:53.680 burning them and replacing it with a blue America First hat. 1628 01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:56.479 You see people like Tucker Carlson doing these things. And 1629 01:33:56.520 --> 01:33:59.439 all this that being said, apparently there's been a bit 1630 01:33:59.479 --> 01:34:03.760 of backlaine for this. Trump clashes back or Trump claps 1631 01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:07.640 back at a MAGA group after America First backlash. So 1632 01:34:07.720 --> 01:34:10.479 let's see about this. President Trump is clapped back at 1633 01:34:10.520 --> 01:34:14.199 his fractured magabase after being accused of betraying his American 1634 01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:18.279 First principles, which again I don't think that that's a 1635 01:34:18.520 --> 01:34:21.560 baseless thing to say. He has absolutely shifted as far 1636 01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:23.319 as what he said he would do on the campaign 1637 01:34:23.399 --> 01:34:26.439 trainded now. But the President also made a rare admission 1638 01:34:26.520 --> 01:34:29.560 that his approval rating had fallen after a tumultuous few weeks, 1639 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:32.319 telling a business for him in Washington, quote, my poll 1640 01:34:32.399 --> 01:34:35.920 numbers just went down, before quickly adding but with smart people, 1641 01:34:36.039 --> 01:34:39.399 they've gone way up. So he's basically saying that people 1642 01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:43.399 that were Maga were idiots. So there's that. The comments 1643 01:34:43.439 --> 01:34:46.960 come as Trump's once unbreakable grip on his Make America 1644 01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:50.960 Great movement appears to be slipping over everything from affordability 1645 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:54.800 and skilled workers to his halty response about the Epstein 1646 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:58.279 files being a hoax. On screen right now as a 1647 01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:04.000 picture of Trump, Millennia, Jeffrey Epstein, and Gieslam Maxwell. Maga 1648 01:35:04.119 --> 01:35:07.359 rage intensified last week when the President dismissed concerns from 1649 01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:10.600 his base that Chinese students were taking up college places 1650 01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:13.960 that Americans wanted. I know what Maga wants better than 1651 01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.800 anyone else, he said in a jaw dropping interview with 1652 01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:21.039 Fox News ally Laura Ingram. But the next day that 1653 01:35:21.199 --> 01:35:24.159 rage turned white hot when he suggested that they were 1654 01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:27.119 not talented or there were not talented workers in the 1655 01:35:27.199 --> 01:35:30.640 United States. After being cornered over wanting to bring more 1656 01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:34.600 high skilled foreign workers into the country on HB one visas, 1657 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:40.399 the hashtag America Last began to trend on social media, 1658 01:35:40.439 --> 01:35:44.960 and some even declared MAGA is dead. However, speaking at 1659 01:35:45.000 --> 01:35:48.319 a US Saudi investment for him on Wednesday, whose guests 1660 01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:52.439 included billionaires, company executives known to higher form workers, and 1661 01:35:52.520 --> 01:35:56.319 Saudi investors, the President doubled down. You can't come in 1662 01:35:56.680 --> 01:36:00.479 open a massive computer chip factory for billions and billions 1663 01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:04.279 of dollars like it's being done in Arizona and think 1664 01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:08.079 you're gonna hire people off an unemployment line to run it. 1665 01:36:08.279 --> 01:36:10.479 They're gonna have to bring thousands of people with them, 1666 01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:14.239 and I'm gonna welcome those people, he declared. So yeah, 1667 01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:16.720 that's the whole move right now. It gets in to 1668 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:21.399 say that. Marjorie Taylor Green, who now Trump is calling 1669 01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:24.720 a trader, began urging the President to focus less on 1670 01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:27.920 foreign affairs and do more to advocate domestic problems such 1671 01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:30.920 as the cost of living pressures. No one cares about 1672 01:36:30.960 --> 01:36:33.920 foreign countries. No one cares about the never ending amount 1673 01:36:33.920 --> 01:36:36.279 of foreign leaders coming to the White House every single week, 1674 01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:39.960 said Green, who has clashed bitterly with Trump over the 1675 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:43.840 Epstein files. However, on Wednesday, Trump announced that after brokering 1676 01:36:43.920 --> 01:36:46.960 numerous peace deals around the world, he was now planning 1677 01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:50.159 to wade into a new conflict at the request of 1678 01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:54.439 his quote unquote friend, the Crown Prince Arab Leaders from 1679 01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:57.239 all over the world, in particular the highly respected Crown 1680 01:36:57.279 --> 01:37:00.079 Prince of Saudi Arabia, have asked me to use the 1681 01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.039 power and influence of the Presidency to bring an immediate 1682 01:37:03.079 --> 01:37:06.560 halt to what is taking place in Sudan. We will 1683 01:37:06.600 --> 01:37:10.279 work with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and 1684 01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:13.479 other Middle Eastern partners to get those atrocities to end 1685 01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:17.479 well at the same time stabilizing Sudan. The comment came 1686 01:37:17.560 --> 01:37:23.479 as a new Marist poll puts Trump Jesus. The new 1687 01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:27.840 Marist poll puts Trump's approval at just thirty nine percent, 1688 01:37:28.279 --> 01:37:31.840 his lowest since right after the Jan sixth, quote unquote 1689 01:37:31.840 --> 01:37:35.840 attack on the US Capitol in twenty twenty one. Democrats 1690 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:40.039 now have their largest advantage fourteen points since twenty seventeen 1691 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:42.680 on the question of who America would vote for in 1692 01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:46.479 the midterm elections if they were held today. Some Maga 1693 01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:50.079 some in the MAGA world have sought to blame Trump's 1694 01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:52.880 chief of staff and so called quote unquote Ice Maiden 1695 01:37:53.159 --> 01:37:57.039 Susie Wilds for the missteps, but Trump's allies and family members, 1696 01:37:57.039 --> 01:38:00.880 including Vice President Advance, Donald Trump Junior, and RFK Jumior, 1697 01:38:00.920 --> 01:38:06.119 have firmly rejected this. So anyway, it's it seems like 1698 01:38:06.359 --> 01:38:10.880 the America First movement is overtaking the Maga movement. However, 1699 01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:14.560 certain political analysts would say that this is actually all 1700 01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:17.840 a part of a plan. This is Ry macbeth talking 1701 01:38:17.880 --> 01:38:21.439 about how this whole thing is actually a Russian op. 1702 01:38:22.720 --> 01:38:25.359 I didn't see this one coming, but the proof is 1703 01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:27.880 kind of irrefutable, y'all. Let me know what y'all think. 1704 01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:29.439 Let's listen to ol Ry macbeth. 1705 01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:32.760 Russia is at war with America. Need proof. 1706 01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:36.199 The current split and a Republican Party between the make 1707 01:38:36.279 --> 01:38:39.880 America Great Again people and America firsters who are on 1708 01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:43.880 the side of racists and anti Semites like Tucker Carlson 1709 01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:49.199 and Nick Fouentes is being manufactured by Russia. Russia isn't 1710 01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:52.159 even being subtle about it anymore because they found something 1711 01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:56.079 that works. It doesn't matter what political party you're in. 1712 01:38:56.159 --> 01:38:59.920 This is not a Republican issue. This is an America issue. 1713 01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:03.840 Russia is forcing us to fight amongst ourselves. Will they 1714 01:39:03.960 --> 01:39:09.520 run rampant in the world? Information warfare is a weapons effector. 1715 01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:11.960 Videos like this are weapon systems. So how do we 1716 01:39:12.039 --> 01:39:14.000 fight this? Well, it's actually threefold. 1717 01:39:14.079 --> 01:39:17.119 Number one, we need to hold social media companies responsible 1718 01:39:17.359 --> 01:39:20.279 for allowing weapon systems like this to spread. When it 1719 01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.800 comes to things like materials that exploit children, we tell 1720 01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:26.199 social media companies that they have to police that. But 1721 01:39:26.279 --> 01:39:29.079 yet when it comes to weapon systems that are designed 1722 01:39:29.119 --> 01:39:32.119 by Russia and China to make Americans hurt. 1723 01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:34.000 Each other, we go ahaha, free speech. 1724 01:39:34.239 --> 01:39:36.960 No, we need to tell social media companies to start 1725 01:39:36.960 --> 01:39:41.199 policing this kind of generated content. Number two, we need 1726 01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:45.840 to consider striking the manufacturers and distributors of this content. 1727 01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:48.279 That might mean kinetically, or that might mean. 1728 01:39:48.119 --> 01:39:49.079 With cyber effects. 1729 01:39:49.239 --> 01:39:52.319 If the adversary was launching a cyber attack on our banks, 1730 01:39:52.439 --> 01:39:54.439 would it be okay to drop a bomb on their 1731 01:39:54.520 --> 01:39:55.119 data center? 1732 01:39:55.560 --> 01:39:58.479 Probably it would be. So why is this any different. 1733 01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:01.079 So third, we need to ca that are kinetically or 1734 01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:05.199 using cyber effects against the adversary's infrastructure and war you 1735 01:40:05.239 --> 01:40:07.840 always take the information warfare a high ground. This would 1736 01:40:07.920 --> 01:40:11.520 be going on the offensive against our adversaries. And hey, 1737 01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:14.239 whether a Republican, a Democrat, or somewhere in between, we 1738 01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:18.720 can all agree that Norarad helps defend America. So grab 1739 01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:22.039 my Norad Christmas sweater from Bunker Branding dot com. 1740 01:40:22.520 --> 01:40:25.720 All right, So Ryan McBeth is showing the receipts to 1741 01:40:25.760 --> 01:40:30.159 say that actually the whole movement is being perpetuated on 1742 01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:35.079 social media by Russian state TV and being manufactured by Russia. 1743 01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:38.760 I don't know necessarily how I feel about that, to 1744 01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:41.000 be honest with you. I mean, Nick fuint Is, it's 1745 01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:43.079 not a secret. I'm not exactly a huge fan of him. 1746 01:40:43.119 --> 01:40:48.720 I think he is a closeted homosexual who is going 1747 01:40:48.760 --> 01:40:52.039 out of his way to He's basically like a he's 1748 01:40:52.039 --> 01:40:57.079 a Paul Brother. He's a quote unquote political Paul Brother 1749 01:40:57.399 --> 01:41:00.760 right now, like he's sipping hater aid just to payorades. 1750 01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:04.319 That's fine, Tucker Carlson, he's also on one right now, 1751 01:41:04.319 --> 01:41:07.840 and he worships Russia in so many regards, So to 1752 01:41:07.880 --> 01:41:11.039 say that they're helping to perpetuate that movement because of 1753 01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:14.239 that kind of time, Okay, that that doesn't sound out 1754 01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:18.039 of the realm for these two gentlemen. But the America 1755 01:41:18.119 --> 01:41:21.960 First movement itself to replace the MAGA movement. Yeah, you'll 1756 01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:24.920 see small pockets of that, but for it to be 1757 01:41:25.039 --> 01:41:27.560 prolifically put out on social media to the level that 1758 01:41:27.640 --> 01:41:30.319 it is, could this be considered some sort of a 1759 01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:32.680 cyber attack by a foreign adversary? 1760 01:41:33.279 --> 01:41:38.680 Sam, go ahead, all you who bought up Nick french As. 1761 01:41:38.760 --> 01:41:41.479 All I'm gonna say is the dude he knows how 1762 01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:47.000 to use karismo and not the good type. 1763 01:41:47.000 --> 01:41:48.880 And if you know, like, if you pay attention to 1764 01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:51.560 his bi language, the way he does his hand movements 1765 01:41:51.760 --> 01:41:56.760 is very wominiss and of a certain political leader of 1766 01:41:56.840 --> 01:42:00.560 the forties in UH Germany, Mas Street. 1767 01:42:01.239 --> 01:42:08.039 Yeah, yeah, he ni Hitler by his own admission, he's like, 1768 01:42:08.319 --> 01:42:10.439 you know what, heley was all this, but you know what, 1769 01:42:10.880 --> 01:42:13.399 he was also kind of cool and it's like you 1770 01:42:13.439 --> 01:42:15.720 so you're just like doing the most just to get 1771 01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:18.399 a response from people, So like, fine, whatever. 1772 01:42:19.199 --> 01:42:21.680 The only thing that I can I can say that 1773 01:42:22.000 --> 01:42:24.640 he kind of had a idea that was kind of cool. 1774 01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:28.800 Was the Volkswagen Beetle.

Tony, please weigh in on this one, brother. 1785 01:43:04.560 --> 01:43:07.760 Yeah, I don't think there's any reason to believe that 1786 01:43:08.159 --> 01:43:12.720 Russia's behind any significant amount of you know, Twitter or 1787 01:43:12.760 --> 01:43:17.359 Facebook influence in this country forever has been. I failed 1788 01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:19.399 to see what kind of receipts there were in there? 1789 01:43:20.920 --> 01:43:23.239 What did you pick up on? Because I didn't really 1790 01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:24.479 see anything significant. 1791 01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:29.359 The Russian TV watermark and then their website that he 1792 01:43:29.399 --> 01:43:32.640 also had pulled up showing that. Now, granted, could that 1793 01:43:32.800 --> 01:43:36.720 be that RT took an American clip and reposted it 1794 01:43:36.760 --> 01:43:40.560 on their news media and they didn't actually create it themselves. 1795 01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:43.960 That's very possible, but I don't know. I don't know 1796 01:43:44.000 --> 01:43:47.800 if this is, like I said, if this was a China, sure, 1797 01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:49.560 I would believe that one hundred percent that China would 1798 01:43:49.600 --> 01:43:52.840 be doing that, But I don't know. It's not like 1799 01:43:52.920 --> 01:43:55.439 we are doing any more or less to help Ukraine 1800 01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:57.760 right now than we have in a while. I know 1801 01:43:57.840 --> 01:43:59.800 Russia's pretty pissed at us right now because we just 1802 01:43:59.840 --> 01:44:02.760 for India and China stop buying oil from their rigs. 1803 01:44:03.199 --> 01:44:05.479 So that's that could be a reason why Russia's kind 1804 01:44:05.479 --> 01:44:08.560 of putting the screws to us in that regard. But 1805 01:44:09.479 --> 01:44:12.319 I don't know. I don't know. You are more of 1806 01:44:12.359 --> 01:44:15.159 a Russia I don't want to say the term expert, 1807 01:44:15.159 --> 01:44:17.199 but you are a lot more well read into Russian 1808 01:44:17.199 --> 01:44:18.119 politics than I am. 1809 01:44:18.760 --> 01:44:23.760 Yeah, and I'm clearly biased. I'm a Russia fan. I 1810 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:27.119 just don't see them having anywhere near enough influence in 1811 01:44:27.159 --> 01:44:31.600 this country. So any posts they put up, any video 1812 01:44:31.640 --> 01:44:33.399 they put up on the Internet, it's like a fart 1813 01:44:33.439 --> 01:44:37.600 in the windstorm compared to all the domestic political propaganda 1814 01:44:37.600 --> 01:44:40.039 that we already have here. I would say It's even 1815 01:44:40.079 --> 01:44:44.359 similar with regard to Israel or any influence Israel wants 1816 01:44:44.399 --> 01:44:47.079 to have on American public opinion. They have some, you 1817 01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:51.960 could even say to have a lot, but domestic propaganda 1818 01:44:52.079 --> 01:44:55.399 just overwhelms it. It's like a drop in the bucket. 1819 01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:59.199 Same with Chinese. So you know, all these foreign countries 1820 01:44:59.399 --> 01:45:02.920 and they're parties, they want to influence our country, but 1821 01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:06.319 it's expensive to do so, and there's already just so 1822 01:45:06.479 --> 01:45:10.079 much English language media coming out from our own people 1823 01:45:10.159 --> 01:45:13.479 that I don't think it has anywhere near enough of 1824 01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:18.640 an effect. And the whole idea that Russian disinformation is 1825 01:45:18.680 --> 01:45:24.319 to blame for, you know, any kind of political controversy 1826 01:45:24.319 --> 01:45:27.359 in this country, that's really more of a Democrat talking 1827 01:45:27.399 --> 01:45:30.319 point than anything that goes way back to twenty sixteen 1828 01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:33.520 and twenty fifteen, And in my opinion, there's just never 1829 01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:35.119 been any real truth to it. 1830 01:45:36.199 --> 01:45:40.039 Okay, And that's fair. That's fair. Now, with that being said, 1831 01:45:40.039 --> 01:45:42.760 we also just brought up China. Now we move to 1832 01:45:42.800 --> 01:45:47.199 the next article of concern here. China's autonomous AI powered 1833 01:45:47.239 --> 01:45:51.039 hacking campaign still required a ton of human work. For 1834 01:45:51.079 --> 01:45:54.159 anybody who doesn't know, yes, China just launched a massive 1835 01:45:54.239 --> 01:45:59.199 AI cyber attack on America and not many news media 1836 01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:01.960 people are talking about it, and I don't know why, 1837 01:46:02.359 --> 01:46:05.319 but we're gonna learn about it together here. Anthropic and 1838 01:46:05.560 --> 01:46:09.720 AI security experts told cyberscoop that behind the hype, effective 1839 01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:13.359 AI driven cyber attacks still require skilled humans, with the 1840 01:46:13.399 --> 01:46:16.960 attack possibly done to send a message as a show 1841 01:46:17.399 --> 01:46:21.720 as to show what's possible. Let's dive in here. Anthropic 1842 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:24.800 made headlines Thursday when it released research claiming that a 1843 01:46:24.880 --> 01:46:28.960 previously unknown Chinese state sponsored hacking group used the company's 1844 01:46:28.960 --> 01:46:32.800 Claude AI generative AI product to breach at least thirty 1845 01:46:32.920 --> 01:46:36.840 different organizations. According to Anthropics report, the threat actor was 1846 01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:41.039 able to bypass Claude security guardrails using two methods, breaking 1847 01:46:41.119 --> 01:46:43.960 up the work into discrete tasks to prevent the software 1848 01:46:43.960 --> 01:46:47.560 from recognizing the broader malicious intentions and tricking the model 1849 01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:51.880 into believing it was conducting a legitimate security audit. Jacob Klein, 1850 01:46:51.960 --> 01:46:56.439 who leads Anthropics Threat Analysis or Intelligence team, told cyberscoop 1851 01:46:56.479 --> 01:46:59.720 that the company has seen increasingly novel uses of Claude 1852 01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:03.079 to assist malicious hackers over the past year. In March, 1853 01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:06.520 threat actors were copying and pasting from chatbot interactions trying 1854 01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:10.159 to build malware or phishing lures. When the company's code 1855 01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:13.479 developed tool, CLAUD code was released, they saw bad actors 1856 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.960 use it more quickly, excuse me, use it to more 1857 01:47:17.039 --> 01:47:20.560 quickly generate scripts and build code for their operations. And 1858 01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:23.920 then this operation in September. I think what we're seeing 1859 01:47:23.960 --> 01:47:26.760 now is the case. In this case is to me, 1860 01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:31.960 the most autonomous misuse we've seen. However, Klin also made 1861 01:47:32.000 --> 01:47:36.279 it clear that most autonomous is a relative term. There 1862 01:47:36.319 --> 01:47:38.960 is plenty of evidence to indicate this hacking group devoted 1863 01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:43.640 significant human and technical resources in the way it used Claud. Namely, 1864 01:47:43.920 --> 01:47:47.439 the automation detailed and anthropics report performed by Claude was 1865 01:47:47.479 --> 01:47:50.800 made possible through a front end framework designed to orchestrate 1866 01:47:50.840 --> 01:47:54.479 and support its operations. The framework handled tasks such as scripting, 1867 01:47:54.600 --> 01:47:59.479 provisioning related servers, and significant back end development to ensure 1868 01:47:59.560 --> 01:48:03.199 every step was followed correctly. Client noted this development process 1869 01:48:03.399 --> 01:48:07.199 was the most difficult and importantly human lad step in 1870 01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:10.560 the operation. The first part of this autonomous is building 1871 01:48:10.600 --> 01:48:13.239 the framework, so you need a human being to put 1872 01:48:13.439 --> 01:48:16.640 this all together. You had a major excuse me, you 1873 01:48:16.680 --> 01:48:18.880 had a human operator that would put in a target, 1874 01:48:19.079 --> 01:48:21.399 they would click a button and then use this framework 1875 01:48:21.439 --> 01:48:24.119 that was created ahead of time. The hardest part of 1876 01:48:24.159 --> 01:48:27.800 this entire system was building this framework. That's what was 1877 01:48:27.880 --> 01:48:33.600 human intensive. Additionally to conductor connaissance on targets, scan for vulnerabilities, 1878 01:48:33.640 --> 01:48:36.359 and conduct other tasks, Claud called out a set of 1879 01:48:36.399 --> 01:48:40.159 open source tools via Model Context Protocol servers, which help 1880 01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:44.119 AI model secure interface with external digital tools. Setting up 1881 01:48:44.159 --> 01:48:47.960 these connections requires coding expertise, advanced planning, and technical work 1882 01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:54.439 by humans to ensure interoperability. Finally, Claude's work was subject 1883 01:48:54.479 --> 01:48:58.319 to constant human validation and review. An illustration of the 1884 01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:02.359 attack chain details at least four different steps that explicitly 1885 01:49:02.399 --> 01:49:05.119 involve having a human check Claud's output or send the 1886 01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:08.920 model back to work before taking additional steps. This suggests 1887 01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:12.560 that although Claude could perform these tasks autonomously, it relied 1888 01:49:12.600 --> 01:49:16.319 on human oversight to review output, validate findings, ensure back 1889 01:49:16.439 --> 01:49:20.880 end systems were working, and direct its next steps. Anthropics 1890 01:49:20.880 --> 01:49:24.800 report highlights a flaw common to all AI generated research. 1891 01:49:25.119 --> 01:49:30.720 Models like Claude frequently hallucinate, fabricreate credentials, exaggerate findings, or 1892 01:49:30.760 --> 01:49:34.920 present publicly available information as significant discoveries. Because of this, 1893 01:49:35.279 --> 01:49:38.800 using AI generator research is challenging. Threat actors like any 1894 01:49:38.880 --> 01:49:42.640 users have no reliable way of trust to trust the 1895 01:49:42.640 --> 01:49:45.880 outputs at each stage without having technical human experts review 1896 01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:48.920 and correct their results. So they're basically saying that this 1897 01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:55.079 wasn't an autonomous AI cyber attack. They're saying that there 1898 01:49:55.079 --> 01:49:57.600 were humans that were just using AI to perform the 1899 01:49:57.640 --> 01:50:02.000 cyber attack. But yeah, anybody who is unaware of this, 1900 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:05.600 now you know, I highly recommend that you look more 1901 01:50:05.640 --> 01:50:09.199 deeply into your own personal cybersecurity. And if there's any 1902 01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:12.239 cybersecurity companies out there that want a to offer us 1903 01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:14.720 a sponsorship here at the Cage tonight or on the 1904 01:50:14.720 --> 01:50:18.359 Cold Conspiracy, we are all here. But anyway, yeah, a 1905 01:50:18.359 --> 01:50:22.399 hacker group was using AI to conduct cybersecurity issues in 1906 01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:25.880 quote unquote cyber terrorism and they were Chinese based, So 1907 01:50:25.920 --> 01:50:30.600 there's that. Moving on, this is also pretty interesting before 1908 01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:32.800 we get to the humanoid robots. Actually, no, we are 1909 01:50:32.800 --> 01:50:35.079 going to get to this. So this is from Live 1910 01:50:35.159 --> 01:50:40.119 Science Watch. Chinese companies new humanoid robot moves so smoothly. 1911 01:50:40.159 --> 01:50:42.279 They had to cut it open to prove a person 1912 01:50:42.560 --> 01:50:45.880 wasn't hiding inside of it. I am actually very interested 1913 01:50:45.920 --> 01:50:48.399 to see this. Royce is the one that sent this in. 1914 01:50:48.479 --> 01:50:53.279 Shout out to Royce the xping Iron robot. Let's watch 1915 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:54.960 this video and see what it looks like. 1916 01:50:56.640 --> 01:50:59.680 The story surrounding the xpang Iron robot was about more 1917 01:50:59.680 --> 01:51:04.399 than just US technology. It was about proving authenticity. After 1918 01:51:04.439 --> 01:51:07.439 the press conference, the EXPEG team saw a wave of 1919 01:51:07.560 --> 01:51:12.159 online speculation suggesting that the humanoid robot might actually be 1920 01:51:12.199 --> 01:51:16.039 a person in disguise. That disbelief hit the engineer's hard. 1921 01:51:16.479 --> 01:51:20.479 They had worked tirelessly to showcase something real, only to 1922 01:51:20.520 --> 01:51:24.880 face accusations of fakery. So instead of staying quiet, they 1923 01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:28.399 decided to do something bold. They brought the expeng Iron 1924 01:51:28.520 --> 01:51:31.920 robot back on stage and physically revealed part of its 1925 01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:36.119 structure to show it was genuinely mechanical. It was an 1926 01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:39.800 emotional moment. The speaker admitted it was painful to have 1927 01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:43.840 to unzip the robot and expose its inner mechanics simply 1928 01:51:43.880 --> 01:51:47.159 to convince people it was not human. He also reflected 1929 01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:50.760 on something deeper. If the same robot had been presented 1930 01:51:50.800 --> 01:51:54.000 by a foreign company, many would have accepted it instantly 1931 01:51:54.520 --> 01:51:58.119 because it came from a Chinese startup, Skepticism ran high. 1932 01:51:59.039 --> 01:52:02.479 That was the real challenge, not just criticism about zippers 1933 01:52:02.560 --> 01:52:05.800 or camera angles, but bias against the idea that a 1934 01:52:05.880 --> 01:52:10.039 Chinese firm could achieve this level of innovation. To silence 1935 01:52:10.079 --> 01:52:13.760 the doubts, the team brought the xpeng Iron robot back 1936 01:52:13.760 --> 01:52:17.880 on stage for a second demonstration. This time, they cut 1937 01:52:17.920 --> 01:52:20.239 open a section of the robot's leg to reveal the 1938 01:52:20.319 --> 01:52:25.560 layers beneath the synthetic skin, the muscle like material, and 1939 01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:29.199 the mechanical skeleton. It was risky because the robot was 1940 01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:31.800 still powered on and the team had never done such 1941 01:52:31.800 --> 01:52:37.039 a live procedure before, but the decision paid off. The 1942 01:52:37.079 --> 01:52:40.720 moment viewers saw the internal design, it became clear the 1943 01:52:40.760 --> 01:52:45.159 machine was real. That transparency even drew more suppliers to 1944 01:52:45.199 --> 01:52:48.640 support XPEG, eager to be part of a project proving 1945 01:52:48.680 --> 01:52:53.560 itself through courage rather than words. The speaker then apologized 1946 01:52:53.600 --> 01:52:57.039 to the expeng Iron robot, saying he hoped this would 1947 01:52:57.039 --> 01:52:59.600 be the last time they would have to prove it 1948 01:52:59.640 --> 01:53:05.640 was real. He emphasized that every startup faces doubt, criticism. 1949 01:53:05.159 --> 01:53:05.960 And disbelief. 1950 01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:10.359 What matters is resilience, the drive to keep building and 1951 01:53:10.399 --> 01:53:14.000 improving until the results speak louder than skepticism. 1952 01:53:15.079 --> 01:53:19.239 Yeah, that actually is pretty crazy. I know that Elon's 1953 01:53:19.239 --> 01:53:21.399 got a robot he's been working on lately, and it's 1954 01:53:22.479 --> 01:53:26.119 pretty damn good as far as being you know, looking 1955 01:53:26.520 --> 01:53:28.840 or moving like a like a human does. But it's 1956 01:53:28.880 --> 01:53:32.279 still clearly a robot that one. Yeah, there was a 1957 01:53:32.319 --> 01:53:34.720 little bit of some lag you could see, but they're 1958 01:53:34.760 --> 01:53:39.600 getting damn close to smoothing out all those bumps. That's 1959 01:53:39.840 --> 01:53:44.520 that's crazy and also scary because you know these robots 1960 01:53:44.520 --> 01:53:46.920 are going to be powered by AI, and it is 1961 01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:50.920 not a secret that I am a strong proponent that 1962 01:53:50.960 --> 01:53:56.960 we need to stop using AI. Go ahead, Sam, Yeah, 1963 01:53:56.960 --> 01:53:57.720 I'm gonna. 1964 01:53:59.000 --> 01:54:03.479 A what is it called yah blocking the you right now. 1965 01:54:03.680 --> 01:54:06.760 But no, that is a dirty clanket that they're building. 1966 01:54:07.159 --> 01:54:12.039 We somebody hit it with the e MP. You know what, Betiet, 1967 01:54:12.079 --> 01:54:17.359 they should say square, the CCP will nuke them, damnself. 1968 01:54:18.359 --> 01:54:21.199 Probably not. I could actually see the CCP using this 1969 01:54:21.880 --> 01:54:26.479 in place of actual frontline soldiers. I could. I mean, 1970 01:54:26.479 --> 01:54:29.760 it's not like China has ever cared about losing a 1971 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:32.600 whole bunch of people in some sort of a military campaign. 1972 01:54:33.119 --> 01:54:36.319 That being said, China's population is not looking the best 1973 01:54:36.600 --> 01:54:38.520 because of their one child policy that they had that 1974 01:54:38.640 --> 01:54:41.359 screwed them out of their economic future. So I could 1975 01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:44.640 see that implementing more robots, not just in military, but 1976 01:54:44.680 --> 01:54:48.399 also in manufacturing as well, because especially in like sweatshop 1977 01:54:48.479 --> 01:54:51.319 labor that they have over there, you don't have to 1978 01:54:51.359 --> 01:54:55.000 worry about the robot getting tired or needing a break, 1979 01:54:55.399 --> 01:54:56.760 or needing to go home at the end of the 1980 01:54:56.840 --> 01:54:58.840 day or go stopping for food or whatever. 1981 01:54:58.880 --> 01:54:58.960 Like. 1982 01:54:59.000 --> 01:55:02.279 It's if you get enough of them to power a 1983 01:55:02.319 --> 01:55:05.640 sweatshop labor force. Now, granted, it depends on to what level, right, 1984 01:55:05.680 --> 01:55:08.159 Like I mean, some of these jobs are very technical 1985 01:55:08.159 --> 01:55:10.720 and they do require a human touch. Some of them 1986 01:55:10.760 --> 01:55:14.640 can be replaced by robotics. It's very interesting to look at. 1987 01:55:14.720 --> 01:55:18.880 But yeah, shout out to Roys for sharing that one anyway. 1988 01:55:19.640 --> 01:55:23.159 So now, still sticking on to China, three more Chinese 1989 01:55:23.239 --> 01:55:27.520 astronauts are now stranded in space following successful rescue of 1990 01:55:27.560 --> 01:55:32.640 their colleagues. Yeah, that's true. So I'm not gonna read 1991 01:55:32.680 --> 01:55:34.960 the article, but I will give you the synopsis of it. 1992 01:55:35.720 --> 01:55:39.199 There were three astronauts that were stranded in space, and 1993 01:55:40.479 --> 01:55:42.359 you know they've been up there for a while. China's 1994 01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:43.920 been trying to figure out a game plan to try 1995 01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:45.840 to figure out how to get them down and what 1996 01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:49.479 to do next and all these things. So instead of 1997 01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:54.840 what they did in a response was they basically replaced 1998 01:55:54.880 --> 01:55:58.239 them with three moored astronauts. They sent a ship up 1999 01:55:58.279 --> 01:56:01.359 there with enough fuel to come home. But they just 2000 01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:04.960 did a one for one swap. So now three new 2001 01:56:05.319 --> 01:56:08.560 fresh astronauts are stranded in space and the three that 2002 01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:14.039 were stranded are now home. Why wouldn't you bring a 2003 01:56:14.119 --> 01:56:18.199 ship that had six seats in it to get everybody home. 2004 01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:22.840 I know, I'm just a dirty capitalist of American here, 2005 01:56:22.880 --> 01:56:28.800 but that just seems like the logical solution. But okay, yeah, 2006 01:56:29.000 --> 01:56:33.159 that's the thing. So three Chinese astronauts were stranded in space. 2007 01:56:34.159 --> 01:56:39.159 Now three more Chinese astronauts are in space. When I 2008 01:56:39.279 --> 01:56:41.279 had three more has a bit of a misnumber three 2009 01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:44.920 different Chinese astronauts are of stranded in space. So that's 2010 01:56:44.960 --> 01:56:46.960 a whole thing. That's the whole thing. And they basically 2011 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:49.600 did this to provide them more time to figure out 2012 01:56:49.600 --> 01:56:53.359 a solution on how to make a rescue operation happen. 2013 01:56:54.079 --> 01:56:57.920 And again, I feel like just adding more seats would 2014 01:56:57.920 --> 01:57:01.439 have been the right option. But I'm not an engineer 2015 01:57:01.800 --> 01:57:03.760 in space, so I don't be knowing. I just I 2016 01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:06.920 just be guessing here now. Sticking on to China for 2017 01:57:06.960 --> 01:57:11.199 our last article, the video in questionnaire shows the collapse 2018 01:57:11.279 --> 01:57:14.359 of a newly built bridge in China. There were no 2019 01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:18.680 reported casualties from the collapse of the Southwestern Hong Ky 2020 01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:25.439 Bridge Honky Bridge. Shut up. They named their bridge Honky, 2021 01:57:28.600 --> 01:57:31.640 which officials closed the day earlier after cracks appeared on 2022 01:57:31.760 --> 01:57:36.039 nearby slopes and roads. Yeah, let's go ahead and play this. 2023 01:57:36.439 --> 01:57:38.560 The video is only forty four seconds long. We could 2024 01:57:38.640 --> 01:57:41.680 check this out. Hung Chi just by the way, So 2025 01:57:41.720 --> 01:57:46.960 the Q is a che noise? Yeah, Hung Chi Bridge. 2026 01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:49.840 I about to say, boy, y'all crazy in China for 2027 01:57:50.199 --> 01:57:51.640 calling it the Honky bridge. 2028 01:57:51.640 --> 01:57:51.720 Man. 2029 01:57:51.760 --> 01:57:55.640 All right, so Hung Chi Bridge, my apologies. Let's watch 2030 01:57:55.720 --> 01:58:01.680 this collapse together. I don't bleeping out Chinese bad words, 2031 01:58:01.720 --> 01:58:02.079 all right. 2032 01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:06.119 Wow. 2033 01:58:08.359 --> 01:58:10.239 Yeah, that was a section of the bridge that went down, 2034 01:58:10.279 --> 01:58:15.600 but the rest of it seems like it's okay. 2035 01:58:16.800 --> 01:58:17.119 Wow. 2036 01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:28.640 Thankfully nobody was injured. But still, so let's read into 2037 01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:31.079 this together. And I think this is also pretty remnant 2038 01:58:31.159 --> 01:58:35.399 of China's let's just call it tofu architecture that they 2039 01:58:35.399 --> 01:58:37.199 have been doing over the past few years, or basically, 2040 01:58:37.479 --> 01:58:39.560 they built some new big thing that's supposed to be 2041 01:58:39.560 --> 01:58:42.239 the latest and greatest, and everything in China is just awesome. 2042 01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:44.920 But then give it a couple of years and it's 2043 01:58:45.239 --> 01:58:48.119 crumbling because it's not built with these same types of 2044 01:58:48.199 --> 01:58:53.039 specifications or good materials to last and stand the test 2045 01:58:53.079 --> 01:58:55.199 of time. But it's not about what it'll look like 2046 01:58:55.199 --> 01:58:57.279 in ten years. It's about the optics of what it 2047 01:58:57.319 --> 01:58:59.239 looks like right now. And China's been doing that for 2048 01:58:59.279 --> 01:59:02.039 the past I mean, I would say probably two decades, 2049 01:59:02.439 --> 01:59:04.800 but I don't know. Let's read about this here. A 2050 01:59:04.840 --> 01:59:08.640 newly built bridge partially collapsed in the southwest China on Tuesdays, 2051 01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:11.720 sending large pieces of concrete plunging far below in a 2052 01:59:11.760 --> 01:59:15.119 cloud of dust. Authorities said that the two four and 2053 01:59:15.199 --> 01:59:19.239 eighty seven foot long hong Qi Bridge, which connects Seschuan 2054 01:59:19.359 --> 01:59:22.560 Province with Tibet as part of a national highway, was 2055 01:59:22.600 --> 01:59:25.359 closed on Monday after cracks began to appear on nearby 2056 01:59:25.399 --> 01:59:28.479 slopes and roads in the mountainous region. On Tuesday, a 2057 01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:31.800 landslide caused the bridge to fracture and collapse, according to 2058 01:59:31.880 --> 01:59:35.960 officials in the Sechuan city of mi Ar Kang, also 2059 01:59:36.079 --> 01:59:40.439 known in Tibet as Barkham. And I know what you're thinking, Jacob, 2060 01:59:40.800 --> 01:59:44.560 It's a landslide. This happens. Who can predict what this 2061 01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:47.680 is gonna do? Like it to say that the bridge 2062 01:59:47.720 --> 01:59:51.319 was poorly constructed. Not every bridge is rated to build 2063 01:59:51.560 --> 01:59:55.119 to withstand a landslide. Some have some decency here, Okay, 2064 01:59:55.119 --> 01:59:57.520 I hear you, except for the fact that this area 2065 01:59:57.640 --> 02:00:01.119 is very very very very well known for landslides and 2066 02:00:01.239 --> 02:00:05.319 rock slides on a frequent, if not regular basis. So 2067 02:00:05.359 --> 02:00:07.880 if you're gonna build a bridge there, you would think 2068 02:00:07.960 --> 02:00:10.399 that they would put the engineering, you know, brain power 2069 02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:12.319 behind it to make sure that it could stand up 2070 02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:16.840 against what they know to a mathematical mathematical certainty is 2071 02:00:16.880 --> 02:00:19.760 going to happen. I don't know. Again, I'm just a 2072 02:00:19.800 --> 02:00:21.640 dirty American capitalist. I don't get it. 2073 02:00:22.239 --> 02:00:22.359 Uh. 2074 02:00:22.520 --> 02:00:25.039 There were no report of casualties from the incident. The 2075 02:00:25.079 --> 02:00:28.720 cause is still being investigated by authorities in Sechuan, a 2076 02:00:28.760 --> 02:00:32.960 seismically active region where a seven point nine magnitude earthquake 2077 02:00:33.079 --> 02:00:35.880 killed more than sixty nine thousand people in two thousand 2078 02:00:35.880 --> 02:00:40.279 and eight. Again, it's this area is known for this 2079 02:00:40.399 --> 02:00:43.039 type of thing to go down. Maybe not this year, 2080 02:00:43.079 --> 02:00:45.920 but sometime in the next couple of years, something's gonna 2081 02:00:45.920 --> 02:00:48.920 happen and things are gonna shift here. You would think 2082 02:00:49.000 --> 02:00:52.560 that they would build a bridge to be, you know, 2083 02:00:52.960 --> 02:00:56.640 to withstand in that type of environment, knowing that that 2084 02:00:56.840 --> 02:01:00.000 is a thing. But hey, I don't know. NBC News 2085 02:01:00.199 --> 02:01:04.159 has verified videos widely shared on Chinese social media that 2086 02:01:04.279 --> 02:01:07.119 showed the bridge collapse and its aftermath. Construction of the 2087 02:01:07.119 --> 02:01:12.239 bridge was only completed earlier this year. Local media reported wow. 2088 02:01:13.680 --> 02:01:17.560 Chinahan has in recent years made massive investments in infrastructure, 2089 02:01:17.600 --> 02:01:22.319 including roads, railways, and bridges. In September, the world's highest 2090 02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:27.199 bridge opened in the southern province of giz Who gwaide Joe, 2091 02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:30.039 thank you. I'm so glad that you were writing on 2092 02:01:30.079 --> 02:01:33.880 the standpi for that graade show taking the crown from 2093 02:01:34.039 --> 02:01:37.279 another bridge in the same province. In July twenty twenty four, 2094 02:01:37.439 --> 02:01:39.560 Chinese authority said at least eleven people died in a 2095 02:01:39.600 --> 02:01:43.039 partial collapse of a highway bridge in the northwest province 2096 02:01:43.119 --> 02:01:47.159 of shang Shanxi with two a's. I don't know if 2097 02:01:47.159 --> 02:01:48.760 that's an angur on noise. 2098 02:01:49.319 --> 02:01:53.399 Yeah, shan she In fact, there's two Shanxi provinces. One 2099 02:01:53.399 --> 02:01:54.800 of them has a low tone and the other one 2100 02:01:54.880 --> 02:01:57.000 has a high tone, and the double A is a 2101 02:01:57.000 --> 02:01:57.560 low tone. 2102 02:01:58.560 --> 02:02:03.439 Interesting. Yeah, Okay. Anyway, so that's the end of this article. 2103 02:02:03.520 --> 02:02:06.239 Like I said today, we were gonna stick more primarily 2104 02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:09.039 on American politics and all of the wild things going 2105 02:02:09.039 --> 02:02:11.640 down in DC, but there was a few little things 2106 02:02:11.680 --> 02:02:13.640 I wanted to bring up as far as China. The 2107 02:02:14.600 --> 02:02:17.680 astronaut thing is also still just mind blowing to me. 2108 02:02:17.800 --> 02:02:21.000 But again, maybe there's like a mission parameter that I'm 2109 02:02:21.039 --> 02:02:23.359 just unaware of, you know, as to why they still 2110 02:02:23.359 --> 02:02:26.840 need astronauts in that space right now. But if they 2111 02:02:26.880 --> 02:02:28.960 were stranded and there was a whole rescue operation to 2112 02:02:28.960 --> 02:02:31.039 go get them, I just I don't understand it. I 2113 02:02:31.079 --> 02:02:33.439 don't understand it, but I don't have to. That's not 2114 02:02:33.479 --> 02:02:35.159 my job to understand it. My job is to talk 2115 02:02:35.199 --> 02:02:38.000 about it. So anyway, as we wrap this episode up, 2116 02:02:38.000 --> 02:02:39.760 I want to thank everybody for coming out and joining 2117 02:02:39.760 --> 02:02:42.279 me on this evening. Once again, if you would like 2118 02:02:42.319 --> 02:02:44.840 to join us every Wednesday night at nine pm Central 2119 02:02:44.960 --> 02:02:47.119 to be a part of the Cajun Night.

Go to the link in 2121 02:02:49.199 --> 02:02:52.000 the description below to patreon dot com slash Cajun Night. 2122 02:02:52.279 --> 02:02:54.680 We do this every Wednesday night at nine pm Central. 2123 02:02:54.840 --> 02:02:56.880 We like to share information. We like to talk about 2124 02:02:56.960 --> 02:03:01.239 the things of the day, the goings and comings of politics, politics, history, religion. 2125 02:03:01.239 --> 02:03:03.439 Whenever the case comes up, and this one was a 2126 02:03:03.479 --> 02:03:05.840 pretty wild one, especially with everything going down in DC. 2127 02:03:06.319 --> 02:03:08.680 We will be talking about how the rest of this 2128 02:03:08.800 --> 02:03:12.199 unfolds next week, I promise you, so if you want 2129 02:03:12.239 --> 02:03:14.479 to get in on the conversation, I hope to see 2130 02:03:14.479 --> 02:03:17.159 you next Wednesday Night.
