WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.359 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another episode of The 2 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.080 Cajun Night Live. I am the Cajun Night Your host, 3 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.960 Jacob Mook, and thank you everybody for joining me this evening. 4 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.800 I want to give a quick little apology now. If 5 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.719 my voice sounds especially horse, that is because I just 6 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.920 got in to day from Philadelphia and from Washington, d C. 7 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.480 This past weekend, we celebrated the two hundred and fiftieth 8 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.480 Marine Corps Birthday and I was screaming my head off 9 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.280 legitimately for four consecutive days. It was amazing. It was 10 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.479 a great time. I had only been to Philly for 11 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.159 one time in my life before this. I have to 12 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.479 say I am a fan of old town Philadelphia. Not 13 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.560 the downtown area, not the Central Business District or any 14 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.880 of that, but the old historic town of Philadelphia. 15 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.039 Oh my god. 16 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.520 If you are a history nerd and you love the 17 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.280 pre American and colonial. 18 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.159 Historical sites, it is amazing. 19 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.560 So highly recommend if you have the means to head 20 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.799 to Philly do so. 21 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:04.840 Then. 22 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.480 Also, we went to Washington, d C. Saw my old 23 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.439 duty station. We were actually at the Capitol Building. We 24 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719 swung by the Senate. We just doing the you know, 25 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719 the typical sight seeing thing. I was stationed there. A 26 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.840 person I was with had never been there before, so 27 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.879 we were having a great time. Little did I know that. 28 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.760 And you know what else, this actually upset me quite 29 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.200 a good bit. We couldn't go to any of the 30 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.400 Smithsonian Museums, which is a massive thing to see while 31 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:35.439 you're Washington, d C. 32 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:36.519 There's tons of them. 33 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.840 Even if the Native American Museum is not your jim, 34 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.760 maybe the Air and Space Museum is, Maybe the Natural 35 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.680 History Museum is, Maybe the American History Museum is. Maybe 36 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.239 one of the Art Museum. There's so many cool ones 37 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.120 to check out. Realistically, I highly recommend you go and 38 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.680 check this out. But not only that, the Marine Corps 39 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.480 Museum out of Quatico, Virginia was also shut down because 40 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.439 of the government shut down. So I was upset. But 41 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.879 that's fine now as of time recording this evening. As 42 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.879 a matter of fact, the government has passed it where 43 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.000 it's ready to go to Trump's desk to be signed, 44 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.520 ending the longest shutdown in American history of our government. 45 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.039 Which is a good thing. But also y'all couldn't figure 46 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.240 that out one week prior. 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.960 Yeah, I'm just anyway, I know I'm just agitated on it, 48 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.280 but hey, it is what it is. So again, apologies 49 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.879 for my voice. It is what it is. I am 50 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.280 doing my best here. Throat, losages and caffeine can only 51 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.240 do so much. But we must get after it. The 52 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.960 show must go on, and let's talk about it now. 53 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.039 The Trump Administration Live updates. House passes bill to end 54 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.360 shut down. Yes, indeed, the time in shutdown. There's a 55 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.879 record now, y'all. Forty two days, twenty three hours, ten minutes. 56 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.080 This article is actually updated. This is from the New 57 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.240 York Times. This article was updated as of twenty four 58 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.400 minutes ago as of time recording. 59 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.039 So let's get into it here. 60 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.879 Congress clears a bill to end the nation's longest shutdown. 61 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.280 The House on Wednesday gave final passage to a spending 62 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.280 package to reopen the government, sending the legislation to President 63 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.439 Trump's desk and all but guaranteeing an end to the 64 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.719 longest shutdown in the nation's history. The vote of two 65 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.719 hundred and twenty two to two hundred and nine votes 66 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.879 came on day forty three of the shutdown, in days 67 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.280 after eight senators in the Democratic Caucus broke their own 68 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.000 parties blockade and joined the Republicans in allowing the spending 69 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.879 measure to move forward, prompting a bitter backlash in their ranks. 70 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.479 Yeah, that's also that's something that's crazy about this. 71 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.400 There are not just these six, there are multiple Democrats 72 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.319 that are calling for Chuck Schumer to lose his job 73 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:51.639 or at. 74 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.520 Least his position, if nothing else. 75 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.319 They acknowledged that this was a Chuck Schumer versus through 76 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.199 you know, a couple of different means here, Chuck Schumer 77 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.360 versus Donald Trump. That that's all it's ever boiled down to. 78 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.360 And they acknowledged the fact that they were leveraging the 79 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.400 welfare of the American citizenry to further their own means, 80 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.680 which of course is not the first time that any 81 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.360 government party has done that to the other. It has 82 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.319 happened on both sides. That to be said, the longest 83 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.600 shut down in government history, damn near a month and 84 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.839 a half. Like, I understand, you're trying to like take 85 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.120 a stance and show a unified force, and but you can't. 86 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.160 You can't injure the American people to prove your point. 87 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.560 And I think that a lot of the American voters 88 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.279 recognize that and of course you're gonna have your sick 89 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.839 of fance on either side, right who say that this 90 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.839 is clearly a Republican problem. This is clearly a Democrat problem. 91 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.199 It listen, call it what you want. But it took 92 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.720 six Democrats, sorry, eight senators to swap from the Democrat 93 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.879 ticket to the Republican ticket at least on this one 94 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.040 vote to get the government back functioning. 95 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.720 And yes, it did just kick the can down the 96 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:04.439 road a little bit. 97 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.360 Okay, fine, but at least the people are gonna get 98 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.720 the aid they need. The government is gonna reopen airports 99 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.160 and flights camera zoom. I'm just saying it's it's ridiculous 100 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.519 how they let it go this far. 101 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.000 To prove a point. But neither here Northelon, It's get 102 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.600 after it here. 103 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.839 It was the first time in the House, I'm sorry, 104 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.279 it was the first time in the House had hailed 105 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.279 a vote in nearly two months, as it took an 106 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:32.639 extended recess during the shutdown. Six Democrats joined the Republicans 107 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.360 in approving the bill. Only two Republicans voted against it, 108 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.759 Representatives Thomas Massey from Kentucky and Greg. 109 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.079 Stuby Stube, I don't know of Florida. 110 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.560 Mister Trump was scheduled to sign the bill on Wednesday night. 111 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.680 Earlier in the day, his Budget office championed it as 112 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.399 a statement as devoid of any of the partisan poison 113 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.800 pill provisions demanded by Democrats. That was a reference to 114 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.000 what had been Democrats' chief demand in the shutdown fight, 115 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.879 the extension of federal health care subsidies set to expire 116 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.000 at the end of the year. Most Congressional Republicans strongly 117 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.360 opposed such an extension, and while mister Trump had initially 118 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.480 shown a flash of interest in brokering a bipartisan deal 119 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.560 on the issue, the shutdown dragged on or I'm sorry. 120 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.839 As the shutdown dragged on, he made it clear that 121 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.920 he had no interest in negotiating. 122 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.160 His refusal to. 123 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.600 Do so ultimately led a critical group of Democrats in 124 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.720 the Senate to conclude that with hundreds of thousands of 125 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.160 federal workers furloughed, millions of Americans at risk of losing 126 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.120 food assistants, and millions more facing air travel disruptions, it 127 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.279 was time to find an. 128 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.240 Off ramp from the shutdown. Yeah. 129 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.319 I love how they're trying to spin the narrative to 130 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.480 where it was. Yeah, because it was Trump's fault that 131 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.639 that was about to run out. That all right, whatever, 132 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.879 it's the New York Times. You know their biases are 133 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.560 going to be what it's going to be here. And again, 134 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.639 I'm not saying this is one hundred percent Democrats' faults. 135 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.839 I'm not saying it's one hundred per Trump's fault. 136 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.360 I'm saying that it's okay for you to be a 137 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.079 critical thinker and point the finger in multiple directions. 138 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:07.600 That's all I'm saying. 139 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.639 In the House, the six Democrats who voted to reopen 140 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.519 the government were Representative Adam Gray of California, Wow, Marie 141 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:21.680 glosen comp Perez, that's a that's her maiden name or 142 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.480 her middle name, Gluesen comp. Jesus Okay of Washington, Jared 143 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:32.560 Goldman or Golden of Maine, Henry Culler of Texas, Tom 144 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.800 Suosi of New York, and Don Davis of North Carolina, 145 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:42.600 all representing swing districts. Interesting this is a direct quote 146 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.480 from Tom Cole, Republican of Oklahoma and the chairman of 147 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.879 the Appropriations Committee. History reminds us that shutdowns never changed 148 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.839 the outcome, only the cost paid by the American people. 149 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.639 Over the last forty three days. 150 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.759 The facts did not shift, the votes required did not shift, 151 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.279 and the path forward did not change. I think that's 152 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.800 pretty profound and extremely accurate, to be. 153 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:05.360 Honest with you. 154 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.680 The Democratic defections in the Senate prompted outrage among House Democrats, who, 155 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.519 like most of their colleagues in the Senate, said their 156 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.120 parties should have hailed together firmly against any government funding 157 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.160 bill that failed to address health care costs. Is a 158 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:25.600 quote here from AOC. Good lord, this woman, it blows 159 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.560 my mind that she still has the job that she has. 160 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.439 But okay, we have federal. 161 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.200 Workers across the country that have been missing paychecks. Yeah, 162 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.519 why is that, AOC? Why is that? Okay, we have 163 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.879 Snap recipients, millions of Snap recipients across the country whose 164 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.399 access to food stability was imperiled, and we have to 165 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.600 figure out what that was for. 166 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.240 Yeah, yeah, I agree, AOC. Why did you and your 167 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:59.720 homies hmm? Anyway, moving on, miss Ocassio, Cortes said that 168 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.720 the Trump administration had inflicted quote unquote cruelty on the 169 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.399 American people during the shutdown, including by trying to halt 170 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.799 fuel or trying to halt full. 171 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.039 Federal funding for food stamps. So this was wow. 172 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.279 AOC is one of the most people that have ever 173 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.320 been some might say the most person that's ever been. 174 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.840 All Right, we cannot enable this kind of cruelty with 175 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.679 our cowardice, she said, Well, she called herself a coward. 176 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.120 I'll take that. 177 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.600 Having elevated the healthcare subsidies as a political issue, Democrats 178 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.320 are eager to keep the pressure on Republicans to extend 179 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.519 them or face the consequences from voters whose polls show 180 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.000 overwhelmingly want to see them protected. Representative Hakeem Jeffries of 181 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.879 New York which that guy also should be in prison 182 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.919 for actual calling for violence on other people. Other voted 183 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.600 officials voted on officials anyway, Hakim Jeffries is a massive 184 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.840 piece of trash. The Democrat leader said he and other 185 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.120 party leaders would file a discharge petition, a procedural maneuver 186 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.960 to steer around the leadership and force a bill to 187 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.279 the floor to extend the subsidies for three years. Such 188 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240 a measure is unlikely to pick up much Republican support. 189 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.360 Yeah you think is a direct quote from Jeffries himself. 190 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.080 There are only two ways this fight will end. Either 191 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.200 Republicans will finally decide to extend the Affordable Care Act 192 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.840 tax credits this year or the American people will throw 193 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.639 Republicans out of the jobs next year. And the Indie 194 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.759 speakership of Donald J. Trump once and for all. Wow, Okay, 195 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.639 Hakeem Jeffries is also one of these individuals who's completely 196 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.840 lost touch with reality. 197 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.039 Gonna be honest with you. 198 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.360 And the fact that he is representing the same state 199 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.440 where mom Donnie just was elected even furthers that point. 200 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.039 But you know, it's different conversations. The mayor of New 201 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.279 York City is not the same as Hakeem Jeffries, but 202 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.720 you know, I feel like they're equal dangerous in other regards. 203 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.080 But anyway, Uh, go ahead, Sam, I see your hand. 204 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.639 Wait, Oh, is that Jeffery's fella? 205 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.279 Is it that the one that said that his opponent's 206 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.679 kids should be a flip since that his opponent is 207 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:16.039 raising them as Nazis and all? 208 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.559 Yes, he is the one that called for violence. 209 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.360 Yep, he is the one that called for violence on 210 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.480 his opponent's wife and children. And not just violence like 211 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.960 they should be they should get spanked like no, no 212 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.559 call for actual violence on them on the mic in 213 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.399 front of everybody. 214 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.200 Yeah, that would be considered a terroristic throught. 215 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.320 I would think so see the Cage to Knight. 216 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.679 Agrees with you, Samuel, But apparently people in New York 217 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.080 just think that he's great. He is also just very 218 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.679 much like AOC. He is one of the most people 219 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.720 that have ever been some might say the. 220 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.080 Most actually knowing from fashion experience, that is a terroristic throat. 221 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.159 And he don't want to say that is because. 222 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.480 In school I got threatened to get stabbed in my word, Jed, 223 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.759 was you better fucking kill me because if you don't, 224 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.759 you you'll be the one to die. That got me 225 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.519 a terroristic threat in a couple of days suspension, But 226 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.759 that doesn't get him in trouble at all. 227 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.840 I don't see how that was terroristic. There was no 228 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:23.039 political means or aims on that statement. Maybe a personal threat, sure, 229 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.879 but I don't see terrorists on that. 230 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.159 My school system was weird. I was a part of 231 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.159 the minority of population. 232 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.600 Uh the Wasian minority for sure, for sure. 233 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:41.080 Yeah, that being said, yeah, Hakeem Jeffers is basically saying 234 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.919 that if something doesn't give, the Republicans will be out 235 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.519 of a job. Meanwhile, the Republicans hold the majority, and 236 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.960 it's yeah, he's Hakim is just kind of talking his talk. 237 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.679 But you know, anyway, the government shutdown is over as 238 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.120 of tomorrow when Trump signs it in, So we're good 239 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.799 on that. Anyway, continue on, it says. The compromise measure 240 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.320 the House approved on Wednesday includes a spending package that 241 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.679 would fund the government through January, as well as three 242 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.360 separate spending bills to cover programs related to agriculture, military construction, veterans, 243 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.159 and legislative. 244 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.879 Agencies for most of twenty twenty six. 245 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.320 The package includes a provision that would reverse layoffs of 246 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.240 federal workers made during the shutdown and ensure retroactive pay 247 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.720 for those who have been fur load. 248 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.840 Well, yeah, that's typically how that goes. 249 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.200 And it includes a measure that would provide a wide 250 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.559 legal avenue for Republican senators whose phone records were seized 251 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.919 as part of the investigation by Jack Smith, the former 252 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.879 Special Council into the attack on the Capitol on January sixth, 253 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.840 twenty twenty one, to sue the government for at least 254 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:49.080 half a million dollars each. You know, again, I'm just 255 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.480 I know, I might have a little bit of a 256 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:56.360 bias here. That wasn't an attack on the Capitol. That 257 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.840 was not I was just at the Capitol literally less 258 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.240 twenty four hours ago. That was a parade, that was 259 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.480 a peaceful protest that had a lot of things happened. 260 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.960 But these people were let into the Capitol. The security 261 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.240 guards and the police opened the doors for them and 262 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:19.039 let them in. There was only a small handful that 263 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.840 started tearing shit up, and then they were shut down 264 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.559 by the other protesters. Just so we're all clear, it's 265 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:27.879 not like they were allowed to start flipping cop cars, 266 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.360 setting DC on fire, looting stores. That's not what took place. 267 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.440 But of course the Times is going to report as 268 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.080 the Times does and call it an attack on the 269 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:44.480 Capitol on jan six. But anyway, so it also would like, 270 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.240 I said, give a wide legal avenue for Republican senators 271 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.320 whose phone records were seized as a part of that investigation, 272 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.759 possibly to sue the government for at least half a 273 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:58.080 million dollars each. That's interesting that provision was quietly slipped 274 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.120 into the spending deal by Senat leaders and provoked wide 275 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.279 bipartisan ayre among House lawmakers who have said they are 276 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:08.559 looking for future avenues to strike it down. 277 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.600 But it was just passed. If they had sought to take. 278 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:14.919 It out of the spending deal, it would have prolonged 279 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.360 the shutdown because any changes the House made would have 280 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.600 sent the measure back. 281 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.279 To the Senate for final approval. Okay. 282 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.399 Representative Chip Roy of Texas, a conservative Republican who was 283 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.720 one of the Biden Department of Justice's harshest critics, right, 284 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.919 said it was beside my comprehension, is a direct quote, 285 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.200 beside my comprehension that this got put in the bill, 286 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.840 and it is why people have such a low opinion 287 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.440 of this town. No, that's not why, you know, And again, 288 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.960 this guy is a Republican and a very conservative person, 289 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.519 very you know, not happy with the bid. I get 290 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:56.320 that there is a long list, there's novels, there's whole 291 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.480 encyclopedias of reasons why people have such a low opinion 292 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.440 of Washington, DC. 293 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.799 That's that's not just this one thing. But all right, cool. 294 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.360 Speaker Mike Johnson said on Wednesday, ahead of the vote 295 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.720 that the House Republicans would introduce legislation to repeal that 296 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.759 provision and would fast track the measure for a vote 297 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:16.639 as early. 298 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.720 As next week. 299 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.960 That is excellent, now, We have updates that are going 300 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.720 on with this article right now. Let's see Trump repeats 301 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.519 his calls for Senate Republicans to terminate the filibuster. During 302 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.679 the government's shutdown, he openly or he only sparingly engaged 303 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.600 in negotiations to reopen the government. Instead, he tried to 304 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.480 pressure Republicans to end the filibuster. Let's see, who is 305 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.360 this guy? Zolon Kano Young's I don't know what that 306 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.759 dude is about, but is the writer? 307 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:47.919 This is a direct quote from Trump. 308 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.399 I just want to tell the American people, you should 309 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.240 not forget this, Trump says, imploring voters to remember the shutdown. 310 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:55.440 When they go to vote in the midterms. 311 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.000 It seems clear Trump is prepared to use the shutdown 312 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.080 as political ammunition against Democrats. 313 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.320 Well yeah, no, shit, Sherlock. 314 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.240 Polling, however, shows most Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown. 315 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.759 I would love to see what polls they're pulling on 316 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.720 that one. And Democrats are still prepared to attack the 317 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.200 White House over healthcare after weeks of asking Republicans to 318 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:19.920 cap healthcare premiums before reopening the government. Uh yeah, long 319 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.920 story short, it's a lot of fingerpointing It's a lot 320 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.960 of name calling, as always expected in Washing DC. But 321 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.920 let's move forward in this conversation and let's read this 322 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.079 or let's hear from this, and there is a Fox 323 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.519 News breakdown of the House passing the bill to end 324 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.200 the historic government shutdown, sending it to Trump tonight. Y'all 325 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.279 send me a thumbs up if y'all can hear this one. 326 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:47.000 Fox Shows Alert. 327 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.960 Let's go back to Aisha Hosny. Do they have it here? 328 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.480 It is congratulations, Jesse Waters live on your show. We 329 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.279 are reopening the federal government. The votes have surpassed the 330 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.960 magic number of two seventeen. That was the number if everybody. 331 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.200 Was in attendance. 332 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.920 We knew we had an attendance problem. 333 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.200 But now we are now at two hundred and twenty two. 334 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.119 Because you look at the. 335 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.279 Democratic lane right there, that line six Democrats have already 336 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.039 switched across party lines and voted with Republicans. That is, 337 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.799 we expected a couple of them. 338 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.000 To do that. 339 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.440 The moderate is the centrists of people who were against 340 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.000 a government shut down, that didn't feel good about it, 341 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.519 that wanted to reopen the government, even if they wanted 342 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.200 to fight for those Obamacare subsidies. 343 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:28.920 Those are the. 344 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.359 Ones that have switched over and voted along the Republicans, 345 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.279 and there you go. 346 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.200 That is it. 347 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.240 They have not gabbled this yet, so technically, officially we 348 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.799 have not passed this bill yet. But the Speaker Mike 349 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.519 Johnson does have the votes right now to officially end 350 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.319 this government shutdown. And what will happen next is after 351 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.759 they gabble and they make this official. This will then 352 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.279 go to the White House tonight because the President wants 353 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.359 to be done with this as quickly as possible. He 354 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.160 wants to sign it into law in immediately, get the 355 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.839 federal government back open, and get paychecks to those federal workers, 356 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.279 get the flights back in order. This has been nothing 357 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.720 but chaos for the past forty plus days, and the 358 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.359 Republicans want this to come to an end as quickly 359 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.680 as possible. But here we are, after all of this time, 360 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:20.000 the back and forth, the Democrats really did not get 361 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:25.599 anything out of this, except for perhaps another fight later 362 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.319 in January. 363 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.279 Oh you mean you mean? 364 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.640 You mean we're going to do this again? Is all? 365 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:33.200 This is all I do here, Jesse. 366 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.240 It's talk about funding the government over and over again. 367 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.559 So this, yes, this bill only funds the government through 368 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.720 January thirtieth, so it only gets us through the end 369 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.519 of January. And I gotta say, if they don't figure 370 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.759 out this Obamacare stuff, if they don't figure out how 371 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.359 to appease these Democrats, they might try this again. Who 372 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.680 knows it worked for the I mean, they got a 373 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.359 lot of they got their base riled up. They feel 374 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.599 like they got something out of it. They may try 375 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:02.400 it again if they don't get what they want. So 376 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.640 we will be talking again in a com All right, Well, 377 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:07.200 I hope that doesn't come to it. 378 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.839 As much as I like having you on, I hope 379 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.880 we don't have to do this all over in January. 380 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.200 You know, I have a weird feeling like we're gonna 381 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:15.759 have to do all this again in January. 382 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.519 I could be wrong, but we'll see. We shall see 383 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.839 good members of the wet new Now, now we've gotten 384 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.079 that out of the way, and I got to say, 385 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.960 I am thankful that the government shutdown is about to end, 386 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.079 even if it is temporary, even if it is only 387 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.880 going to be until the end of January. I am 388 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:42.039 hoping and praying that adults could start adulting and doing 389 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.240 their job and finding some sort of a common ground here, 390 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.079 because if I'm not mistaken, they just found all kinds 391 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.759 of issues with our medical system, which to the shock 392 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.720 of literally no one, and they have many, many ways 393 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.799 that they're going to start making medical care or more 394 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.759 affordable for everybody. 395 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:04.039 Which should. 396 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:10.200 Big underline and bold letters in italicized, should make it 397 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.119 a little easier for the insurance companies, therefore making it. 398 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.799 Easier for us. We'll see how it goes. 399 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.880 Anyway, let's move on to the next topic of discussion. 400 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.799 I thought this was rather interesting. This happened yesterday on 401 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.440 Veterans Day, I might add, Trump holds the first ever 402 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.039 White House meeting with Syrian leader. 403 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.240 Now this Syrian leader, just everybody is all up to 404 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.599 speed here. This Syrian leader or Syrian president quote unquote, 405 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:43.000 is also the former leader of Syrian al Qaeda. That 406 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.319 is a major sticking point with this particular guy. Syria 407 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.440 has been in a bit of a some turmoil here 408 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:51.480 in the past few years. 409 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.519 This guy is basically the warlord that took over and 410 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.240 has tried to bring the Syrian nation back on under 411 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.240 heel and try to get them to be an operational nation. 412 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.720 For the most part, he hasn't been one hundred percent successful. 413 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:09.000 He's had a pretty good go of it as far 414 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:12.759 as that goes through. Let's just call it, for lack 415 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:15.960 of better words, at sword point if you're picking up 416 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.720 what I'm putting down. 417 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.599 But hey, there it is. 418 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.240 And Trump is actually speaking with international relations groups to 419 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.000 get them listed or he anyway off of the terrorist blacklist, 420 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.160 which is very interesting. All these people think that Israel 421 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.680 is running Trump. Meanwhile, he just invited the leader of 422 00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.200 al Qaeda in Syria to the White House. 423 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.480 I have a weird feeling that. 424 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.880 Israel and net and Yahoo are not too thrilled about this. 425 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.640 But let's watch this little news clip to talk more 426 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.240 about it. 427 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:50.000 Let's listen in. 428 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.440 President Trump welcome the president of Syria at the White 429 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.039 House today and announced a new partnership with the country. 430 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.519 Akhmed al Sharah led efforts to overthrow former Syrian dictator 431 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.480 brasharl Assad last year. He is a former member of 432 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.680 al Qaeda, but has since denounced the group. On Friday, 433 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.319 the Trump administration removed his name from a list of 434 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.759 global terrorists, and today it announced Syria would join a 435 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.720 US led coalition to defeat ISIS. Unlike most of President 436 00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:19.440 Trump's meetings with foreign leaders, the press was not allowed 437 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.039 inside the room to ask questions. 438 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:22.000 This cell phone. 439 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.079 Video from CBS suss Aaron Navarro was the only footage 440 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.559 we have of all Chara leaving the White House. Here's 441 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:29.799 what President Trump said about the meeting hours later. 442 00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.000 He's a very strong leader. 443 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.240 He comes from a very tough place, and he's tough guy. 444 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:38.640 I liked him. 445 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.480 I get along with him. 446 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.039 The president. 447 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.480 The new president is Syria, and we'll do everything we 448 00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:45.799 had to make Seria successful because that's part of the 449 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.359 Middle East. 450 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.400 CBS News National security contributor Sam Vinnigrad joins us. Now, 451 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.599 So Sam, what message does it send for President Trump 452 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:54.640 to welcome the Syrian president to the White House And 453 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.319 how much should we read into the fact that the 454 00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.680 meeting was not open to the press and that he 455 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.440 was necessarily welcomed into the White House in the typical 456 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.880 way that many foreign leaders are with cameras and the like. 457 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.960 Well, lindsay, I think it's unfortunate the press was not 458 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:12.240 allowed to ask Ahmet Alshada some tough questions about his 459 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.359 record and his plans for Syria. I do think it's 460 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.480 the right call that President Asharda has not given all 461 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.519 the same accolades as other visiting officials. Many security analysts 462 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.960 are hoping that President Ashara is committed to stabilizing Syria, 463 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.960 to denouncing terrorism, to turning away from Russia in Iran, 464 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.200 which had been partners of the al Asad regime for decades. 465 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.400 But the proof is going to be in the putting. 466 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.440 President Alshada is certainly saying all the right things when 467 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.680 it comes to, for example, counter terrorism, cooperation with the 468 00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.920 United States and his focus on unifying Syria, but whether 469 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.920 he's being pragmatic in the short term or is committed 470 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.359 to pragmatism over his original ideology over the longer term, 471 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:54.759 lindsay is an outstanding question. 472 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.559 What can the US and Syria do for each other? 473 00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.480 What do both sides want from this relationship. 474 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.759 Well, in the short term, the Syrian people desperately need 475 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.759 support rebuilding their country, so assistance dollars are going to 476 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.039 be desperately needed. There are some problems with that based 477 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.839 upon some sanctions that still remain in place, but certainly 478 00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.720 assistants rebuilding the country. Support is necessary to try to 479 00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:21.720 unify the country and to bring various factions together. And 480 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.480 at the same time, the United States would greatly benefit 481 00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.839 from cooperation from Syria in, for example, countering ISIS. That's 482 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.839 why this announcement that Syria will now join the Countering 483 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.480 ISIS coalition is so important. Over the long term, the 484 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.559 United States is looking for Syria to become an ally 485 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.880 in the region, to renounce violence against Israel, to colm 486 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:47.400 relations with Lebanon, and to stop turning closer towards Russia 487 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.839 in Iran and other countries that are hostile towards US interests. 488 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.000 Okay, so a couple of little keynotes, and Tony, I 489 00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.079 would really love for you to weigh in on this 490 00:25:59.119 --> 00:25:59.720 one here, brother. 491 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:01.680 Okay, So. 492 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.720 The dude is confirmed at one point in time a 493 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.759 member of al Qaeda. Okay, cool, he has since renounced 494 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:16.000 the group. Okay, fine, This guy just in the past 495 00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:20.039 week was taken off of the lists of known terrorists, 496 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:24.640 and now the United States government is teaming up with 497 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:30.160 a former al Qaeda leader to battle against ISIS, and 498 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:35.039 we're gonna team up with him to go against terrorist groups. 499 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.480 Former al Qaeda guy. I feel like I've heard this 500 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:44.039 one before. Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody, But I 501 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:46.440 feel like I've heard of this whole enemy of my 502 00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.559 enemy as my friend thing and I also think it's 503 00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.440 very interesting that it is the same country, of all places, 504 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.200 where Russia has their biggest air station and naval station 505 00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:01.240 that goes into the Mediterranean Sea. And as everything is 506 00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.119 going on with Ukraine and Russia right now, which we 507 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:05.599 will get to here in a moment, I find it 508 00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:09.839 very interesting that Trump decided to make this strategic play 509 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.880 with the quote unquote Syrian president right now. And like 510 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.359 it was said, he didn't get any of the big uh, 511 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.079 you know, fanfare and pomp and all the things with 512 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:22.559 his visit to the White House. 513 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.400 There's a reason for that. I agree. 514 00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:27.880 They're they're trying to keep it as low key and 515 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.440 under wraps as possible that Trump is meeting with who 516 00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:35.440 a week ago was a known terrorist. So I find 517 00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:39.559 that all very very interesting, and we will be keeping 518 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:44.440 our eyes on the Syrian US relations moving forward. Because 519 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.079 my god, this sounds like a little revamp of the 520 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:54.279 Moujahadeen and American forces to fight against the Soviet Union 521 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:57.079 in these seventies and eighties. I'm not saying that as 522 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:01.319 one hundred percent. In fact, I'm saying it really it rhymes. 523 00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.559 It rhymes a bit here, Sam, go ahead. 524 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.759 Oh, it's funny that you mentioned the Mouja Haadin. 525 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.640 That's because that was the predecessor to the Taliban sash 526 00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.200 al Qaeda. 527 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.279 But what happened to America not negotiating with terrorists? 528 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.920 They just took him off the terrorist list before he 529 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:22.920 came to America. 530 00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:29.079 Look, id, people can change, but once a terrorist story 531 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:31.559 is a terrorists like, you can't wash that sin away. 532 00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:32.839 There's a lot of blood there. 533 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.240 I find it interesting the guy that only I would 534 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.359 even argue probably last year, was screaming death to America 535 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.759 just got invited to the Oval Office. 536 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.000 That's very crazy to me that that. 537 00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:50.880 I don't know, maybe I'm just overreacting, I'm paranoid or whatever, 538 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:55.079 but you can't How can you walk with somebody that 539 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:58.720 actively said death not only to you, but your your 540 00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.480 nation and your culture. 541 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.039 Now that being said, this is not the first time 542 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.680 that a group that is considered terroristic in nature leaders 543 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.559 were invited to the White House under the Obama administration. 544 00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:13.200 If I'm not mistaken, they had Taliban leaders invited to 545 00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.480 the Oval Office to speak with Old Barry. 546 00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.200 So it's been done before. But at the same time. 547 00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.680 You're talking about black Hussein Obama. 548 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.519 That's the guy. 549 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.359 But that being said, at the time, the Taliban was 550 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.680 pretty much the only active arm of law within the 551 00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:35.400 nation of Afghanistan. I'm not exactly a fan of that. 552 00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:37.480 I don't like that that was a true statement that 553 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:39.839 I just said. But the fact is, if we wanted 554 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.319 to try to make an exist strategy happen, we had 555 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.079 to work with the Taliban in order to go as 556 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.480 peacefully and calmly as possible, since they're really and truly 557 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.119 the only arm of the law in Afghanistan. 558 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.400 Yeah. 559 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:57.039 Yeah, they have the Afghan Army. That's a laughable organization 560 00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.240 to say the least. Pretty much you had to go 561 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.240 through them, especially whenever they're the ones that are growing 562 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.279 the opium that would later the poppy that would later 563 00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.200 be turned into the opium and the opiates and all 564 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.079 these things. And for a couple of years there it 565 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.039 was like every we talked about this on the cult 566 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.200 a couple of years ago when we're talking about the 567 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:20.720 Golden Triangle of the Vietnam War era and now the 568 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.880 Golden Cresset when it came to the post nine to 569 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.440 eleven conflicts. In the last decade and a half, the 570 00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.400 Taliban has gone back and forth over whether they are 571 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.559 okay with or against the growing of poppy for the 572 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.359 uses of making heroin and opiates. One guy would take 573 00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.000 over and say, no, that is against Sharia law. It 574 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.039 goes against Halla, and we don't want that. So they 575 00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.240 would burn all the poppy fields and they would find 576 00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:47.039 other ways to. 577 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.000 Earn their daily bread. 578 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:51.160 New guy would come over and take over from him 579 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.640 and say, all right, we're all broke. Now we need 580 00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:57.279 to make money, and the poppy fields are money making machines, 581 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.279 so we're back into the poppy trade. Then a two 582 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.319 or three years later, some new guy would take over 583 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.279 and it was just as back and forth, back and forth, 584 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:08.160 back and forth. So at that time, Barack Obama inviting 585 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.519 the Taliban to the White House, I'm not cool with it, 586 00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:12.200 but I could at least understand where he was coming 587 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.160 from on that regard. Now cut too literally, we're not 588 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.519 even talking like, oh, when he was in his young 589 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.039 twenties or you know, a young teenager, he was associated 590 00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.759 with a criminal element. This dude, as he was taking 591 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:31.160 charge of Syria during their civil war, was representing Syria 592 00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:35.200 and al Qaeda, and now he is becoming a asset 593 00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.960 to the United States to fight isis. I find this 594 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:43.000 to be very interesting. Couple that with all of what's 595 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.960 going on with Russia in the Ukraine conflict right now 596 00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:49.279 and how Russia has those assets in the nation of Syria. 597 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.279 I find that to be very interesting. 598 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.799 Like I said, everybody, we're going to keep an eye 599 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:59.039 on this as time moves forward. Now, let's talk about 600 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.440 this House Oversite Committee. 601 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:03.240 And government reform. 602 00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:07.319 All right, this is from the Democrats Oversitedemocrats dot House 603 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.000 dot gov. House Oversite Committee releases Jeffrey Epstein email correspondence 604 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.000 raising questions about White House cover up of Epstein files. Okay, 605 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.759 now here's this is a very interesting topic because depending 606 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:26.960 on which new source you're looking into, you're gonna get 607 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.640 two very different takes on the new emails that were 608 00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:38.000 released quote unquote. Now, the Democrats are saying that this 609 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.759 shows that Trump was not only complicit in Epstein's actions 610 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.880 and all of what he was doing, but that he 611 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.680 went out of his. 612 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.599 Way to cover it up. 613 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:50.160 The Republicans are saying, these emails, if anything, show that 614 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:55.319 Trump had no wrongdoings in any regard. Y'all be the 615 00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.079 judge on that. As we get into this, let's read 616 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:02.440 this was actually released No. Number twelve of twenty twenty five. 617 00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:09.039 Interesting Yes, today, this tranch of correspondence raises questions about 618 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.519 Trump and Epstein's relationship, Trump's knowledge on Epstein's crimes, and 619 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:17.920 relationship to victims. This is from Washington d C. Of course, Today, 620 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:22.960 Oversight Democrats and ranking member Robert Garcia released never before 621 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.799 seen emails from the latest production from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, 622 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:31.000 striking a blow against the White House's Epstein cover up. Yeah, 623 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.359 Epstein is still having the last laugh from the gravel 624 00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:37.319 on this one. In private correspondence with Giselain Maxwell, Jeffrey 625 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:41.640 Epstein wrote in twenty eleven that Donald Trump quote spent 626 00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:45.319 hours at my house end quote with a victim of 627 00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.200 sex trafficking, referring to Trump as quote dog that hasn't barked. 628 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.359 End quote. 629 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:56.519 In a separate email with author Michael Wolfe in twenty nineteen, 630 00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:01.000 Epstein stated explicitly that Donald Trump quote you about the girls, 631 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.400 as he asked Giselaine to stop end quote. In another 632 00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.440 email with wolf in twenty fifteen, Epstein and wolf discussed 633 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.960 it they can quote craft an answer end quote for 634 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.599 Trump's upcoming CNN interview, with Wolf characterizing Epstein's leverage over 635 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:21.000 Donald Trump, saying if he says he hasn't been on 636 00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.719 the plane or to the house, then that gives you 637 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.480 a valuable pr and political currency. The Epstein estate released 638 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.760 a total of twenty three thousand documents that the Oversight 639 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:33.320 Committee is currently reviewing. 640 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.119 This is a direct quote. Again. 641 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.039 The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, 642 00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:42.679 the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondences raise 643 00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.800 glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding 644 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:49.239 and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President. 645 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.440 That was from Robert Garcia. The Department of Justice must 646 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.599 fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately. The 647 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.320 Oversight Committee will continue pushing four answers and will not 648 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.800 stop until we get justice for the victim. The three 649 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.000 emails from the proof of production can be found below. 650 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:08.480 So let's read this here. These are emails. We're gonna 651 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:10.840 They're not long, it's not like these are paragraphs and paragraphs, 652 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.000 but we are gonna read this. This is from Jeffrey 653 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.000 Epstein to Gmax. 654 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:15.760 Right. 655 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.360 I want you to realize that the dog that hasn'tbarked 656 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:24.199 yet is Trump dot dot dot redacted spent hours at 657 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.599 my house with him. He has never once been mentioned 658 00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.719 police chief, et cetera. I'm seventy five percent there. 659 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.760 Okay. 660 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:34.960 The redacted name of the victim as of this moment 661 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:43.159 is believed to be Virginia Guffrey. Now there's reasons for 662 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.960 why that Republicans might have redacted that immediately. 663 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:47.119 I don't know. 664 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:50.079 There's a lot of there's a lot of open to 665 00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:52.559 interpretation when it comes to this, but let's continue. It 666 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.360 says the information contained in this communication is confidential, may 667 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.840 be attorney client privileged, may constitute in side information. It 668 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:03.880 is intended only for the use of the address. 669 00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.840 He is the. 670 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.559 Property of Jeffrey Epstein on author's use. Okay, it's the 671 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:11.400 copyright stuff, all right. Now, let's go to the next email. 672 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.000 It says, I want you to realize that, oh yeah, 673 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.239 that's the same actually the same email, but it's. 674 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:21.039 The redaction. Isn't as clear on this one moving forward. 675 00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.719 Email number two is direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and 676 00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:32.880 Michael Wolfe redacted victim's name, mar Lago redacted name. Trump 677 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:36.400 said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. 678 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.119 Of course he knew about the girls as he asked 679 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:39.760 his lane. 680 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:44.559 To stop direct quote direct quote. 681 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:48.880 So what we are saying here is that Trump Year's bag, 682 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.840 which we already knew about this. Trump has been very 683 00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:54.920 open with the fact that he and Jeffrey Epstein had 684 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.159 a falling out years and years back. There's some stipulations 685 00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:03.280 to that, some chicanery, if you will. Some will say 686 00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:06.280 it's because Trump just never really appreciated him as a 687 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.320 business partner or anything like that. He tried to There's 688 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.519 another quote or another storyline, I guess you could say, 689 00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:16.199 to say that Epstein tried to hire some of his younger, 690 00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:20.800 not underage, younger, but still younger employees from mar A Lago. 691 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.840 He was trying to basically poach them, and Trump wasn't 692 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:25.760 a fan of that and knew what he was up to, 693 00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.639 so he had a. 694 00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.559 Falling out with him. 695 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:29.840 There's a lot of back and forth on this, but 696 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:36.199 again continuing here, Email number three, direct correspondence between Jeffrey 697 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.320 Epstein and Michael Wolfe. I think you should let him 698 00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:46.239 hang himself. That's from Michael wolf to Jeffrey Epstein. If 699 00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:49.159 he says he hasn't been on the plane or to 700 00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.159 the house, that gives you a valuable pr and political currency. 701 00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.960 You can hang him in a way that potentially generates 702 00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.280 a positive benefit for you, or if it really looks 703 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:03.400 like he could win, you could save him generating a debt. 704 00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:06.840 Of course, it is possible that when asked, he'll say, 705 00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.079 Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw 706 00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:13.119 deal and is a victim of political court correctness, which 707 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:15.440 is to be outlawed in a Trump regime. 708 00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.800 Take what you want with that, Take all this how 709 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:21.280 you want it. 710 00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.239 But essentially, and this is another one, as a matter 711 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.840 of fact, this is a direct correspondence tween. I'm sorry, 712 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.400 I'm sorry that continues down here. The correspondence reads, I 713 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.079 hear CNN is planning to ask Trump tonight about his 714 00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:39.840 relationship with you, either on air or in a scrum afterwards. 715 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:42.880 If we're able to craft an answer for him, what 716 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:43.880 do you think it should be? 717 00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:45.400 Now? 718 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.880 That was the first one, Jeffrey Epstein to Jeffrey Epstein 719 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.760 from Michael Wolf talking about the CNN. The next one 720 00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.760 was to Michael from Jeffrey says, if we're able to 721 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:56.199 craft an answer for him, what do you think it 722 00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:59.280 should be? This one is too Jeffrey from Michael, and 723 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:00.960 then that's when it's that I think we should let 724 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:06.599 him hang himself in that whole debacle. Now the Democrats 725 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:11.480 are acting like this is some massive lynchpin that is 726 00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.360 going to be the thing that ruins Trump. Meanwhile, the 727 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.920 Republicans are acting like, well, you heard him, nothing about 728 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.800 him ever having any affiliation with these young girls. If anything, 729 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:25.119 he was complicit in it, but he didn't partake of any. 730 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:27.719 Of these things. And this is just Jacob speaking on 731 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:28.519 behalf of Jacob. 732 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.360 I think that if somebody, not just Trump, anybody is 733 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.400 complicit in these types of crimes, you know what's going on, 734 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.760 you're doing nothing to ensure that this person gets justice. 735 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:47.039 I'm sorry, in my opinion, you are at least partially guilty. 736 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:50.239 But on this one, it's all or nothing. Either the 737 00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:55.519 basketball goes in the hooper it doesn't, but hey, these emails, 738 00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:57.360 we'll see how it goes. A lot of Republicans are 739 00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:59.880 also saying these emails are a Democrat hoax. 740 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.039 You know, I don't know. 741 00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:05.159 Let's read in on this one here talking on behalf 742 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.440 of the Democrats. This is a CNN article, So again 743 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.840 take that how you want it. The federal government shut 744 00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:15.960 down provided President Trump a week's long reprieve from major 745 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:20.320 revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But as Congress 746 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.000 looks to reopen the government this week, it's clear Trump's 747 00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:26.440 Epstein problem hasn't gone away. The big news Wednesday morning 748 00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:29.920 was that House Oversight Committee Democrats at least three emails 749 00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:33.920 obtained from Epstein's estate that mentioned Trump. Those emails came 750 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.199 amid another huge release from the GOP led committee on 751 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:43.199 Epstein's documents that CNN is still reviewing. In one twenty 752 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.519 eleven email, he called Trump the dog that hasn'tmbarked, And 753 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.360 we already read that email, let's see. And in twenty fifteen, 754 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:54.639 Epstein writes to an author, Michael Wolf, about how Trump 755 00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.440 might handle questions about his past relationship with Epstein. Again, 756 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.280 we already read the emails. The emails are re night 757 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:03.960 questions about what Trump knew and when. There have remained 758 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:09.239 huge unanswered questions about what Trump knew and when about Epstein's. 759 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.599 Proclivities proclivities rather. 760 00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:17.000 That's especially given Trump's explanations have often proved evasive or false. 761 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.199 The White House responded to the initial three emails mentioning 762 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:24.920 Trump by arguing Democrats had selectively leaked the emails to 763 00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.760 create a fake narrative to smear President Trump. 764 00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.039 And in one regard, I could understand that. 765 00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:35.440 Need we forget how the entire first term that Trump 766 00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.679 was in office, the Democrats did everything they could to 767 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.760 smear his name, Russia, gay, cofefe, all these things. 768 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.480 For the entire four years. They tried impeaching him for nothing. 769 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:50.440 For nothing, they were trying to get the President of 770 00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.360 the United States to have a mug shot. 771 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:56.079 We all remember that. So okay, I could understand that. 772 00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:58.400 But that was also before we really knew that there 773 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.840 was any kind of connection whatsoever between Trump and Epstein. Also, 774 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.920 it's worth mentioning, but these emails certainly deepen the intrigue 775 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.840 about what Trump knew. To recap what we already knew, 776 00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:12.360 Trump in two thousand and two referred to how Epstein 777 00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:14.760 liked women quote on the younger side. 778 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.039 We've all seen that clip. 779 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.840 A Florida businessman said in twenty nineteen interview that he 780 00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:23.400 raised concerns with Trump about Epstein going after younger girls 781 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:28.679 at a nineteen ninety two Calendar Girl event, which we 782 00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.960 have seen that video. As a matter of fact, Trump 783 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:36.760 invited Epstein to some model party at his penthouse suite. 784 00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.400 Come to find out, Epstein and Trump were the only 785 00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:47.400 attendees of this party other than very young model types. Okay, 786 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:50.320 but to my knowledge, none of those girls were under 787 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.719 the age of eighteen. I'm not saying that's good. I'm 788 00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:56.119 saying that's better than if they were fourteen and sixteen. 789 00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.039 I think we can all agree with that. But anyway, 790 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.840 continue going on it, says. Trump's advisor Roger Stone in 791 00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:06.840 a twenty sixteen book, quoted Trump talking about how Epstein's 792 00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.000 swimming pool was full of beautiful young girls and joking 793 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:13.000 that it was nice of Epstein to let the neighborhood. 794 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:13.679 Kids use his pool. 795 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.400 Okay, so it was already some mention of these things, 796 00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:21.320 and we all remember hearing about these. The president and 797 00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:25.280 his aides have also repeated repeatedly said Trump distanced himself 798 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:29.320 from Epstein because Epstein was a creep quote, but without 799 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:34.079 elaborating on why precisely Trump viewed him as such. Beyond that, 800 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:38.599 Trump this summer acknowledged being aware of Maxwell recruiting employees, 801 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.920 including Guphrey, at at mar Lago, but he seemed to 802 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.760 be quite reluctant to go into detail. The question from 803 00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:51.000 there was whether Trump had an inkling about what Guphrey 804 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:56.199 had been quote unquote recruited for. And again rip two 805 00:43:56.280 --> 00:44:01.079 Virginia Guffrey, who they are still saying committed suicide. That 806 00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:05.440 is mind blowing to me, but sure that's the official narrative. 807 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:10.280 I suppose Trump said he didn't know really why quote 808 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:14.320 unquote Maxwell was recruiting people. Maxwell has denied recruiting people, 809 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.239 but Guphrey was a minor to the extent Trump was 810 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.400 aware of the particulars of the situation and was aware 811 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:23.440 of Epstein's taste for younger females. That would seem to 812 00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:27.039 raise red flags. I would agree it makes us ask 813 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.800 if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Giselaine Maxwell's 814 00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:33.639 criminal actions. Guphrey's two brothers and her sister in law 815 00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:37.800 said in a statement this summer. In twenty nineteen, Epstein 816 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.559 email released by the committee says Trump, of course he 817 00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:42.039 knew about the girls. 818 00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.719 As he asked Geslaine to stop. 819 00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:47.719 That doesn't prove Trump knew what Maxwell and Epstein were 820 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.800 recruiting the girls for, but it suggests that Trump was 821 00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:53.360 involved in telling Maxwell to knock it off and was 822 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.440 seemingly familiar with the details of the situation. 823 00:44:57.199 --> 00:44:58.480 I could see where they're coming from on that. 824 00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:03.320 In twenty eleven, I've seen emails that suggest Guffrey spent 825 00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:06.280 hours at his house with Trump. Also adds to the 826 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:10.320 relevance of the relevant facts here. When Trump was acknowledging 827 00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:13.119 his awareness of Maxwell's recruiting at Mar A Lago, he 828 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.440 initially said he didn't know if it was Gufphrey who 829 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.519 had been recruited, but then he quickly said that. 830 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:19.719 It was indeed her. 831 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.039 If Trump actually spent time with Guffrey, as Epstein's emails 832 00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:27.280 seemed to say, it would not only raise questions about why, 833 00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:30.519 it would also make Trump's handling of the situation appear 834 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:34.760 even more bizarre. And it's clear from Guphrey's own memoir 835 00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.679 that they knew each other and had had conversations about 836 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:42.280 her working for his friend. Quote here, Trump could have 837 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.840 had been Trump couldn't have been friendlier, telling me it 838 00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:48.920 was fantastic that I was there. Guphrey writes about the 839 00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:51.519 time that her father took her to meet Trump in 840 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.320 his office. She goes on to recount that Trump asked 841 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:57.079 her if she liked children, and explained that he had 842 00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.360 friends in the house next to the resort who needed 843 00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:03.199 babysitting their kids. So Trump seemed to be a gentleman 844 00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:07.199 about everything. The email's undercut Maxwell's attempt to distance Trump 845 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.039 from Epstein. The Trump Justice Department decided to interview Maxwell, 846 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:16.360 a convicted sex offender, this summer while her appeals were ongoing. 847 00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:21.159 It did so despite her established credibility problems and motivations to. 848 00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.000 Say what the administration wanted. 849 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.679 But I also think it's interesting to note they're the 850 00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.320 only ones that actually decided to question her. Four years 851 00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.159 under the previous administration, no one ever questioned just lame. 852 00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.559 No one ever got her on the little table and 853 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:39.719 had a little tape recorder in the camera in the 854 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.079 room and had a conversation, just tell me everything, you know. 855 00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:47.400 No one had done this. I find that also very interesting. 856 00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.280 Trump at the time hadn't ruled out the possibility of 857 00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:52.159 pardoning Maxwell. 858 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.559 We've all heard him say that, like he totally could. 859 00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.079 He's not saying he will, He's saying it's within his 860 00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:59.880 power to do so, which also is not something that, 861 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.719 in my opinion, you should be saying on the mic 862 00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:07.440 on camera to the world that conversation shouldn't even be 863 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:08.920 happening in your own head. 864 00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:13.320 But okay, Trump, I'm sorry, let's see here. 865 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.360 And around that time, we also learned Maxwell had been 866 00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.719 moved to a lower security prison camp for which she 867 00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:23.239 didn't appear eligible as a sex offender. The administration still 868 00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:26.800 hasn't explained how this happened. Months later, and sure enough, 869 00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:29.599 Maxwell said things that were helpful to the president. She 870 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:31.920 basically said that she had no knowledge of any of 871 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:36.320 Trump's wrongdoings and downplayed his relationship with Epstein. But the 872 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:41.079 new emails call her claims into question a little bit, 873 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:44.599 just a little bit. Speaking of Trump and Epstein's relationship, 874 00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:47.960 Maxwell said in her testimony the transcript, which was released 875 00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:51.079 in August, direct quote, I don't think they were close 876 00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.800 friends or I certainly never witnessed the President of in 877 00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:58.119 any of I don't recall ever seeing him in the house, 878 00:47:58.239 --> 00:47:58.840 for instance. 879 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:01.800 Okay, But the. 880 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:05.360 Newly released emails suggests Maxwell was aware of Trump being 881 00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:10.320 at Epstein's house at least as of twenty eleven. After Epstein, 882 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:14.199 in the email, referenced someone spending hours at my house 883 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.800 quote unquote with Trump, Maxwell responds, I have been thinking 884 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:21.639 about that. Maxwell's attorney didn't immediately respond to a request 885 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.519 for comment on Wednesday. This is not the first Maxwell 886 00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:27.360 claim from that interview that has been called into question 887 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:30.719 very much. So anyway, we're not going to read the 888 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:34.079 entire article. I think it's worth mentioning that these three 889 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:38.599 emails have been released. This does not make Trump uncredible. 890 00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:42.639 It does make things look way worse for him as 891 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:46.039 far as this is concerned. If you had prior knowledge 892 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:49.119 of what was going on with Jeff and you did 893 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:50.920 nothing to stop it, Oh yeah, you told them to 894 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:51.559 knock it off. 895 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:53.719 Bro, that's not enough. 896 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.920 These are children and they need help, and you, being 897 00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.480 a rich you know, billion, had the means of helping them, 898 00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:04.000 or at least getting it in front of somebody who 899 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:09.559 was appropriately designated and authorized to take it to a 900 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:13.199 higher level, and you still didn't. That being said, there 901 00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:16.599 is still questions about his entire Department of Justice, and 902 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.599 they're mishandling of this situation. He ran and got elected 903 00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:23.719 talking not primarily. It wasn't like he was elected just 904 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.800 because of the Epstein files, but he was elected, and 905 00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:31.519 the majority, the vast majority, I mean the I would 906 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:35.719 say almost all of his constituents put him in office 907 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:40.280 because we knew that he was going to release the files. 908 00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:43.800 The way that he has handled this, the way that 909 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.440 his Department of Justice has handled this, the way that 910 00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:51.199 the FBI have handled this, has called into question everything 911 00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:54.079 that his voters put him in that office for because 912 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.239 of it. It's like it's a snowball effect. If it 913 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.639 starts here and your side stepping in, Now, what else 914 00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:03.760 are you going to sidestep? And for your own purposes? 915 00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:08.920 Now cut to cash. Bettel went on and on and on. 916 00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.280 Pam Bondi went on and on and on. There's tens 917 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.920 of thousands of hours, there's all this evidence, there's these lists. 918 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:16.519 We gotta go through it all and then out of 919 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:20.599 nowhere to sidestep it. Keep in mind, there was accusations 920 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:23.400 that were made about some CIA agents that were put 921 00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:26.599 to task to go through the entire Epstein files and 922 00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:30.119 redact everything that had Trump's name on it, and it 923 00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.519 seemed to be a lot more than these three emails 924 00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.760 with a redacted name. Allegedly, and I don't know how 925 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.559 verified this claim is, but allegedly it took them three 926 00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:44.000 months to go through everything and redact his name because 927 00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:45.039 it was on there so much. 928 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:47.079 I don't know to what level. 929 00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:49.559 I don't know if it was for the business side 930 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:53.199 of things, because again, Jeffrey Epstein was a money laundering 931 00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:57.840 king of the world, so it's very possible that Trump 932 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.119 was utilizing him to hide some money, and that's where 933 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:02.159 all the references are for. 934 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.880 Could be, could be, it could also. 935 00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.480 Be because of him using his plane from time to time, 936 00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.360 But we also cannot negate the possibility that it might 937 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.280 have also been Trump going to that island. And until 938 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:17.519 we get some sort of a confirmation that that is 939 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:20.440 not what that was for, emails like this coming out 940 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:22.559 are only going to fuel the fire of people that 941 00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:25.760 are making those types of claims. It would be oh 942 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.199 so easy for Trump's Justice Department and his CIA, and 943 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:33.480 his whole FBI rather and his whole administration to shut 944 00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.519 this down now and just release things and tell everybody 945 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:40.440 the entire truth. The fact that they're not is only 946 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:44.280 leading more credence to the opposition. Sam, I see her hand, 947 00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:45.800 go ahead. 948 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.320 Yeah, I was just gonna lead the lady the Virginia 949 00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:52.559 U chick. 950 00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.119 I can't go Virginia Guffrey. 951 00:51:56.199 --> 00:51:57.920 I was looking in at her. All that says is 952 00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.239 she committed suicide LIKEE. But did they say she hung 953 00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:03.880 herself or was she then the chick that lit herself 954 00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:04.360 on fire. 955 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:10.480 No, she allegedly jumped in front of a bus days 956 00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:12.159 after being released from the hospital. 957 00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:19.639 Yeah, that makes no sense, and that it doesn't that's 958 00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:26.280 even coming from somebody who has had the ideation and everything. Yeah, 959 00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:28.800 I've been run over before by a vehicle. I would 960 00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:31.400 that is not a way most people would think of 961 00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:34.480 killing themselves, and especially you have a woman. A woman 962 00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:39.320 nine time is more likely to attempt it. But they're 963 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:42.400 gonna use nine times ten. They're gonna either use peels 964 00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:44.320 so that they could look pretty in the casket or 965 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:47.320 they're gonna be in a tub and slit their wrists 966 00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:48.360 nine times out of ten. 967 00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.239 It makes no sense the narrative of how she went 968 00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:56.000 and then call it and still to this day, Fox, CNN, 969 00:52:56.480 --> 00:53:00.719 every every major news outlet is ruling it a suicide 970 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:03.960 when that makes no sense when looking at it and 971 00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.559 using a little I'm talking the slightest crumb of critical thinking. 972 00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:11.480 So that is still the going narrative towards her, even 973 00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:15.360 though her memoirs are still published. So yeah, it's a mess. 974 00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:17.960 It's a mess, and the Trump administration and his Department 975 00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:21.960 of Justice are doing nothing to clean up this mess, 976 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:23.639 not even a little bit. 977 00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:28.119 The song by a Vicci that got him killed was, 978 00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:32.320 wasn't it very alluding that it was epstinct for a 979 00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:35.639 better Day where they banded the wood, put pedophile on 980 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.199 the guy and hung him. 981 00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:41.400 In The Avici song in question is it wasn't the 982 00:53:41.480 --> 00:53:42.199 music itself. 983 00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:44.760 It wasn't the lyrics. It was the music video behind it. 984 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:46.599 And as a matter of fact, we played it on 985 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.000 the Cult Conspiracy God probably. 986 00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:51.599 Twenty four years ago. 987 00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:54.239 It was one of they all's fush episodes of you 988 00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:57.800 and Jacob together, and that's actually how I fush out 989 00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:58.400 of Avici. 990 00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:01.960 I am Jacob dude, I know ja man, I know 991 00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:02.400 you man. 992 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:04.800 But honestly, yeah, it's I feel like that was only 993 00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:07.519 a year ago, but due time flies, that was four 994 00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:11.039 years ago. Good got almighty. But yeah, so it wasn't 995 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:15.360 the lyrics itself. It was the content of the music video. 996 00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:19.719 It never made it seem like it was necessarily epstein. 997 00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:24.079 It was more to bring awareness to child trafficking just 998 00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:28.360 in general, in totality, and it uh yeah, he ended 999 00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:32.599 up paying the price in his own blood for that. Anyway, 1000 00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:37.519 moving off of the Epstein conversation, let's go into this 1001 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.800 one now. As I was just in Philadelphia, as I 1002 00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:44.840 literally passed by the US Mint. And if anybody doesn't 1003 00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:47.639 know what the Mint does. They make money. They make 1004 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:49.920 the coins, they make the dollar bills. And if you 1005 00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:53.039 ever look at a coin or a dollar bill and 1006 00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:56.840 it has a small P on it that stands for Philadelphia, 1007 00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:59.800 typically you'll see a D, a P and in certain 1008 00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:02.760 case s and if it's a very old coin, you'll 1009 00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:06.320 find an O for New Orleans, but that would be Philadelphia, 1010 00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:11.320 San Francisco, and Dell, Denver, excuse me. And these are 1011 00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:15.159 the places where the US money is actually printed and 1012 00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:18.760 stamped and made. But it is also worth mentioning. And 1013 00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:22.119 I personally feel attacked on this one because I collected 1014 00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:25.239 pennies growing up, Like I have books that are like 1015 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:28.440 listed each year and from each mint that these pennies 1016 00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:32.159 were made. I love it, I absolutely do, and I 1017 00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:34.480 think some of my more valuable ones are the ones 1018 00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:38.880 from nineteen forty three. That year pennies were actually stamped 1019 00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:41.519 and steel, not copper, because all the copper. 1020 00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:45.119 Was going towards the war effort. I think either that's 1021 00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:46.840 my most valuable one or one. 1022 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.679 Of the Indian heads from the late eighteen hundreds. I'd 1023 00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:51.840 have to go back and look with the books and everything. 1024 00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.880 But the US Mint in Philadelphia where I just was, 1025 00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:03.239 presses its final penny as the ones sent coin gets canceled. Yeah, 1026 00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:05.519 that's right. America is about to do away with a 1027 00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:09.960 penny as a whole. Back in seventeen ninety three, a 1028 00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:12.239 penny could get you a biscuit, a candle, or piece 1029 00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:12.760 of candy. 1030 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:15.719 These days many sit in drawers. 1031 00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:18.480 Or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected 1032 00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:19.599 as lucky keepsakes. 1033 00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:21.400 But their luck is about to run out. 1034 00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.639 The US Mint in Philadelphia is set to strike its 1035 00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.320 last circulating penny on Wednesday, as the President has canceled 1036 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:32.280 the one cent coin as the cost of making them 1037 00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:36.159 became more than their value. And that's a very good point. 1038 00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:42.280 They swapped from copper to zinc in shoot, I'm trying 1039 00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:45.880 to remember that was back in the sixties. At some 1040 00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:48.760 point in time, they swapped from copper to zinc. And 1041 00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.960 now the price of all of that has gotten so 1042 00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:54.119 expensive that it's literally not worth the amount of materials 1043 00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:57.719 and time and machinery to stamp out a penny because 1044 00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:01.119 it costs I think two times the mount per pennies, 1045 00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:03.440 so you're actually losing money while making money. 1046 00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:04.599 It's crazy. 1047 00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:08.920 President Trump has ordered its demise as costs climb to 1048 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:10.559 nearly four cents per penny. 1049 00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.360 God said two. 1050 00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:15.360 It's four, and the one cent valuation becomes somewhat obsolete. 1051 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:19.360 The US mint has been making pennies in Philadelphia, the 1052 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:24.159 nation's birthplace, since seventeen ninety three, a year after Congress 1053 00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:25.599 passed the Coinage Act. 1054 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:27.440 Today there are billions of. 1055 00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:31.000 Them in circulation, but they are rarely essential for financial 1056 00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:34.800 transactions in the modern economy or the digital age. For 1057 00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:37.639 as long as the United States has minted pennies, which 1058 00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.440 literally cost us more than two cents, Trump wrote in 1059 00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:43.000 an online post on February or in February, as costs 1060 00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:43.519 continued to. 1061 00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:45.000 Climb, this is so wasteful. 1062 00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:49.280 Still, many have a nostalgia for them, seeing them as 1063 00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:52.000 lucky or fun to collect. I know, I do, and 1064 00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:55.000 some retailers have voice concerns in recent weeks as supplies 1065 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:57.880 ran low and the last production neared. They said the 1066 00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:00.599 phase out was abrupt and came with no guidance from 1067 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:04.440 the federal government on how to handle customer transactions. Some 1068 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.360 rounded prices down to avoid short changing people ha punintended. 1069 00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:11.719 Others pleaded with customers to bring exact change, and the 1070 00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:14.440 more creative among them gave out prizes such as a 1071 00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:17.559 free drink in exchange for a pile of pennies. We 1072 00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:21.800 have been advocating the abolition of the penny for thirty years, 1073 00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.199 but this is not the way we wanted it to go. 1074 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.920 Jeff Leired of the National Association of Convenience Stores. 1075 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.880 Said last month, I had no idea there was a 1076 00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:35.800 National Association of Convenience Stores, but there you go. So anyway, 1077 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.280 continuing on here, let's jump down it says the US 1078 00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:44.239 Treasury Secretary, Scott Pissent and Treasurer Brandon Beach were expected 1079 00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:46.320 to be in Philadelphia on Wednesday. 1080 00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.840 Afternoon for the final production run. 1081 00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.480 The Treasury Department expects to save fifty six million dollars 1082 00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:54.679 per year on materials by ceasing to make them, but 1083 00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:57.079 they still have a better production cost to value ratio 1084 00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:00.320 than the nickel, which costs nearly fourteen cents to make. 1085 00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:05.360 The diminutive dime by comparison, costs less than six cents 1086 00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:09.159 to produce, and the quarter nearly fifteen cents. 1087 00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:09.960 Very interesting. 1088 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:14.320 So for anybody out there that does like a penny 1089 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:16.960 for whatever reason, they are about to go by the 1090 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:20.800 wayside and they're about to be antiqued even harder. On 1091 00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:23.320 the other side of that, my collection is about to 1092 00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:26.159 skyrocket in value, which that kind of makes me happy 1093 00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:27.519 but also sad at the same time. 1094 00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:29.159 It's kind of a bittersweet. 1095 00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:34.119 Anyway, continue on here, let's get into some foreign conversations. 1096 00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:40.280 Ukraine pulls back in southeast village and Russia says Pokrovsk encircled. 1097 00:59:40.599 --> 00:59:41.880 Let's listen in from Reuters. 1098 00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:47.199 Police and humanitarians evacuated residents from the frontline town of 1099 00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:53.760 Juleepole and nearby villages in Ukraine's southeastern Zaparisia region on Tuesday. 1100 00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:58.239 Ukraine's top commanders said Russian forces were exploiting bad weather 1101 00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:02.599 conditions to infiltrate further into the region. Elderly and immobile 1102 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.119 civilians left their homes with threads from attack drones during 1103 01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:09.039 the operation. 1104 01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:11.840 It's scary, we're being bombed today. 1105 01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:14.920 In the morning, I went outside and heard a drone 1106 01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:18.400 fly by I stood there and heard how it boomed 1107 01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:19.159 and banged. 1108 01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:25.199 Ukraine's military said on Wednesday and had pulled back troops 1109 01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:28.199 from nearest settlement on the southeastern front, but that it 1110 01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:33.079 has stopped Russian advances in the area. This video, released 1111 01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:36.039 on social media by Russian war bloggers on Tuesday and 1112 01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.599 verified by Reuters, showed what they said were Russian forces 1113 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:43.400 entering the Ukrainian city of Pakrofsk, dubbed the Gateway to 1114 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:47.599 Denetsk by Russian media. In dense fog and in war 1115 01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:51.119 torn vehicles, Russian soldiers rolled into the city on motorbikes 1116 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.880 and even on roofs of battered cars and vans. Moscow 1117 01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:57.760 said it provides a platform to drive north towards the 1118 01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:01.920 two biggest remaining Ukrainian controlled cities in the region, Kramataorsk 1119 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:05.280 and Sloviyansk. Russia has been using a pincer movement for 1120 01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:08.159 more than a year to attempt to encircle Pikrovsk and 1121 01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.400 threaten supply lines. Rather than the deadly frontal assaults. Ukrainian 1122 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:16.800 President Vladimirzelenski described the situation in Pekrofsk as difficult and 1123 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:20.599 that assaults were also increasing in Zaparisia. Ukraine's military set 1124 01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:23.880 about three hundred Russian soldiers were now inside Pekrofsk, and 1125 01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:27.119 Moscow had intensified efforts to get more troops in Over 1126 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.280 the past few days. It said Ukrainian forces were battling 1127 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:33.440 Russian groups in the city. Both sides have given different 1128 01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:37.199 accounts of the battle, with routers unable to independently verify 1129 01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:41.159 battle reports from either side. Russia's military says it now 1130 01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:45.480 controls more than nineteen percent of Ukraine. Ukrainian maps tracking 1131 01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:49.320 frontline changes show Russian control at nineteen point one percent 1132 01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.760 of Ukraine, up from eighteen percent nearly three years ago. 1133 01:01:54.039 --> 01:01:57.280 All right, now, let's get into this Al Jazeera article 1134 01:01:57.400 --> 01:02:01.239 talking about this the Russia Ukraine. The list of key 1135 01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:05.960 events as we are ending the one three hundred and 1136 01:02:06.039 --> 01:02:09.239 fifty sixth day of what was supposed to be a 1137 01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:13.920 fourteen day military operation worth noting. All right, let's see 1138 01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:17.400 the fighting. Fighting continues in and around the Ukrainian city 1139 01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:21.519 of Pekroufsk in the Eastern Dunesk region, with Kievan Moscow 1140 01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:23.840 providing conflicting accounts of the situation. 1141 01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:28.079 In the nearby town of mir no Rad. 1142 01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:30.760 Yeah, I'm sorry, if I mispronounced these names, I speak 1143 01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:34.920 American English. The new Ukrainian military claims its forces were 1144 01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:37.719 holding their positions in the city, saying that the defense 1145 01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:45.639 of pscruffs pakrofts go okay amalgaation continues, but army spokesperson 1146 01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:51.159 Andrey Kovelev acknowledged the provision of logistics to the town 1147 01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:55.320 was complicated. The statement came after Russian Ministry Defense said 1148 01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:58.599 its force were pressing in advance on the city and 1149 01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:02.119 we're making gains in two of the town's districts. The 1150 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.039 Ukrainian Air Force also denied Russian claims of encircling the city, 1151 01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:11.719 saying that food ammunition supplies to Ukrainian soldiers there are 1152 01:03:11.920 --> 01:03:15.639 being replenished in a timely manner. The most intense fighting 1153 01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:19.519 in Pokrovsk is currently taking place in the industrial zone, 1154 01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:27.679 it said. Russian attacks on Ukraine's Dunesk and Dntpropestrovsk regions 1155 01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:31.639 meanwhile killed at least one person and wounded two others 1156 01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:35.639 on Monday, according to Ukrainiava Pravda. 1157 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.079 Yeah, I think that's their news outlet. 1158 01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:42.760 An explosion from an unidentified ammunition in a hospital. War 1159 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:46.800 in Ukraine's Zaparijia region injured a man on Monday, police 1160 01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:50.880 they were reported without providing further details. The Russian Defense 1161 01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:55.000 Ministry also claimed advances in Zaparijia region, saying its forces 1162 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:58.000 that pushed Ukrainian troops out of the villages of Soladika 1163 01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:02.559 and Novay. The ministry said Russian forces also seize the 1164 01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:09.880 village of jesus Had Novika in the Donasku region then Russia. 1165 01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:12.840 A man was seriously wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack 1166 01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:17.199 in the village of Beliyanka in the Belgarod region. 1167 01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:18.800 Has died in a hospital medic set. 1168 01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:23.400 Ukrainian forces claimed an attack on pumping stations in the 1169 01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:28.679 Havardiski oil depot in the Russian occupied Crimean Peninsula. Russian 1170 01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:32.480 forces announced destroying four Ukrainian drone boats near its Black 1171 01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:37.719 Sea port of Tuaps. The port head suspended fuel exports 1172 01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:41.039 after a November two Ukrainian attack on its infrastructure. 1173 01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:46.519 So there's the updates for the Russia Ukraine situation. Again. 1174 01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:48.280 I've told you all, we're gonna keep our eyes. 1175 01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.039 On it, and especially now that Trump is making really 1176 01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:53.880 good buddies with the quote unquote Syrian president now. 1177 01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:56.480 To used those quotes very very liberally here. 1178 01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.400 I also think that that might tie in because if 1179 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:02.800 I could be so wrong here, and there may be 1180 01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:06.360 a zero percent chance of this, but I could envision 1181 01:05:06.559 --> 01:05:10.400 a scenario where we get tight with the Syrian warlord, 1182 01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:15.400 I mean president right, and use that leverage to encircle 1183 01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:18.760 not just US, but a foreign actor who might be 1184 01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:22.840 a little more aligned with Ukraine, especially now that Russian 1185 01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:27.239 air defenses quote unquote have continued to invade. 1186 01:05:26.960 --> 01:05:28.480 NATO air spaces. 1187 01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:31.280 Not in one country, not in three, there's like eight 1188 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:35.559 countries right now that Russian air assets have invaded their 1189 01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:39.960 sovereign airspace. So if a couple of these European powers 1190 01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:46.199 got together decided to encircle Russia's you know, Syrian ports 1191 01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:52.360 and blockade them in the med Mediterranean Sea and use 1192 01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:56.039 that as leverage to force Russia to come to the 1193 01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:57.239 negotiation table. 1194 01:05:57.639 --> 01:05:58.039 I don't know. 1195 01:05:58.119 --> 01:05:59.920 I could be wrong, I could be so wrong, but 1196 01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.679 I see that as a really likely possibility. If Trump 1197 01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:06.960 is getting more aligned with the Syrian guy in charge 1198 01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.480 right now, we can't sidestep that as a zero percent 1199 01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:11.719 chance that that happens. 1200 01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:12.559 I don't know. 1201 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:14.719 Again, I told you all, we're gonna keep our eyes 1202 01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:17.320 on it, and we are going to especially with this 1203 01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:21.880 new information. But let's continue on to the next conversation. 1204 01:06:22.559 --> 01:06:25.320 Pakistan and India. We all know that they just had 1205 01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:28.039 a big border dispute. There were some shots fired on both, 1206 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:30.280 there were some skirmishes that took place, but it seemed 1207 01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:32.880 like cooler heads it kind of prevailed and they had 1208 01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.199 had a little ceasefire. Tensions were still high, but it 1209 01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:39.480 seemed like things were going to just kind of fizzle out. 1210 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:41.840 Everybody was gonna be cool here, Everybody's gonna be fine. 1211 01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:46.320 And now we have more issues because Pakistan blames Indian 1212 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:50.840 proxies in a deadly Islamabad bomb that blasted and killed 1213 01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:54.000 at least twelve people. Keep in mind New Delhi just 1214 01:06:54.039 --> 01:06:56.920 had a suicide bomber attack that killed people as well, 1215 01:06:57.159 --> 01:06:58.960 and they are both blaming each other for this. So 1216 01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:01.400 now we have a possible ability of that skirmish on 1217 01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:04.159 the border picking up again. Let's learn about this together. 1218 01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:05.880 This is from Al Jazeera English. 1219 01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:08.760 The funeral has been held in Pakistan for a lawyer 1220 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:12.639 killed in a suicide bombing outside an Islamabad court on Tuesday. 1221 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.159 He was one of twelve people who died in the attack. 1222 01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:18.280 Pakistan's defense minister says that it has pushed the country 1223 01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:21.440 into a state of war. An armed group linked to 1224 01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:26.280 the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility. It has heightened tensions 1225 01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.679 in the region, with the government accusing both Afghanistan and 1226 01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:34.239 India of backing armed groups. Both countries have denied the claim. 1227 01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:37.039 Come on hyder reports from Islamabad. 1228 01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:42.199 Given the fact that the attack ahead in Islamabad was 1229 01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:46.440 an end of criminal attack outside the cicket court, which 1230 01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:49.880 are not going to win any group any points, given 1231 01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:53.360 the fact that innocent people were targeted. There was yet 1232 01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:58.000 another attack in Southwark, Yidistan, this time along close to 1233 01:07:58.039 --> 01:08:01.719 the Avran Borda and riched A. Pakistani security forces say 1234 01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:05.880 that these fighters try to enter into a cadet college 1235 01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:08.920 and that it took almost two days for them to 1236 01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:12.480 clear that area without any loss to the students or 1237 01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:16.000 the faculty. But at the same time, there's an important 1238 01:08:16.039 --> 01:08:19.960 meeting going on in the Provincial Assembly of the Hyperpuuktunka 1239 01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:24.199 province which is worth it by the recent violence and 1240 01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:28.359 the governor, the Inspector General of Police, tribal elders and 1241 01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:32.640 leaders of various parties are deliberating on how to come 1242 01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:35.319 up with a policy in order to deal with the 1243 01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:38.640 growing incidents of violence, which they will then be sharing 1244 01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:42.319 with the central government. So indeed there is headway on that, 1245 01:08:42.840 --> 01:08:46.359 and of course question marks as to why this attack 1246 01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:49.600 took place in Islama paths, and that too at such 1247 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:52.720 a sensitive but again a public place. 1248 01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.880 Don't miss it, all right, So let's go into reading 1249 01:08:56.880 --> 01:09:01.640 this article here is from CBS newser targets Islamabad court 1250 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:08.520 killing twelve people as Pakistan condemns cowardly suicide attack Islamabad, Pakistan. 1251 01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:11.800 A suicide bomber outside district court buildings in a residential 1252 01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:15.640 area of the Pakistani capitol killed at least a dozen people. 1253 01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:19.680 On Tuesday, Pakistan's Interior minister said at twelve thirty nine 1254 01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:23.359 pm a suicide attack was carried out by or at 1255 01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:26.880 the Kacheri district courts. So far, twelve people have been 1256 01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:31.399 martyred and around twenty seven are wounded. That's Interior Minister 1257 01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:35.359 Mosen Knakvi told reporters at the scene of the incident. 1258 01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:38.600 He gives his first hand account of what would happen 1259 01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:41.199 or what he saw that day. He entered the court building, 1260 01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:44.359 A huge blast occurred and I thought the entire judiciary 1261 01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:48.760 building would collapse on me. The guy, Zahid Khan, who 1262 01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:51.479 gave that quote. He is an assistant to a lawyer 1263 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:56.720 in the court. He told CBS News. When I was upstairs, 1264 01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:59.039 I saw people lying on the ground around the fire. 1265 01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:01.840 Just three minute earlier, I had been at the exact 1266 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:04.800 spot while I parked my bike, I saw people lying 1267 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.319 injured with blood on the road, he said. He noted 1268 01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:09.800 that the timing of the attack coming a week after 1269 01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:14.199 Pakistani Taliban or TTP, along with some elements of the 1270 01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:20.079 Afghan Taliban, issued threats against Pakistani cities. Pakistani later issued 1271 01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:24.920 a statement saying the government strongly condemns the cowardly suicide 1272 01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:28.520 attacks in Islamabad that claimed twelve innocent lives, including members 1273 01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:35.000 of the judiciary. The Tarik Tariki Taliban Pakistan, which the 1274 01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:40.399 TTP has claimed responsibility for the reprehensible act aimed at 1275 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:44.920 spreading fear and undermining Pakistan's judiciary system. The alleged suicide 1276 01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:48.600 attack in Islamabad also came a day after militants stormed 1277 01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:53.560 a military college in Wana in Pakistan South Wazen Natan 1278 01:10:54.039 --> 01:10:58.199 or Waziristan region. Two militants were killed in the assault. 1279 01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:03.319 Official said THET in statements shared with CBS News, denied 1280 01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:08.359 involvement in both in Islamabad and Wanna attacks, but Pakistani 1281 01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:11.800 security officials and analysis said the group was likely responsible 1282 01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:12.199 for both. 1283 01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:14.520 So that's kind of conflicting reports right there. 1284 01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:20.399 Okay, so the TTP claimed responsibility for this act, that's 1285 01:11:20.399 --> 01:11:24.880 a direct quote. Then the TTP, in a statement to 1286 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:27.039 CBS News denied involvement in. 1287 01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:28.520 Both of these attacks. 1288 01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:33.079 Take that with whatever grain of salt you want, go ahead, Sam. 1289 01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:38.560 So I'm kind of I'm confused because like they're mad 1290 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:42.520 because that the government is trying to do a piece 1291 01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:45.600 still with the Indian But I thought India and Pakistan 1292 01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:50.159 were at each other's boat. And Pakistan don't they like 1293 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:53.960 their people. Don't they have like a strong history of 1294 01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:55.760 suicide bombing their own people? 1295 01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:56.840 Yes? 1296 01:11:57.800 --> 01:12:03.079 Yes, so, my I guess what I'm questioning is why 1297 01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:06.880 if there is a history and pattern recognition of this, 1298 01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:08.840 why are they acting shocked? 1299 01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:13.640 That's a fair question. Uh So, here's the deal. And 1300 01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:16.760 I'm not even saying that this terrorist group had anything 1301 01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:17.479 to do with it or not. 1302 01:12:18.479 --> 01:12:20.520 What I am saying is that responsibility. 1303 01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:23.520 They're saying that they're not responsible. 1304 01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:26.920 The Pakistani media is saying that they are responsible, but 1305 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:31.560 at the same time that being said, they're also using 1306 01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:35.960 this as fuel to reignite the tensions on the border 1307 01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:42.640 with India, because as this suicide attack just took place India, 1308 01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:45.640 they were swapping over to a new article here, India 1309 01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:49.479 on Edge after deadly car explosion in capital region. Here's 1310 01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:52.119 what we know, all right, So not only did Pakistan 1311 01:12:52.159 --> 01:12:55.640 suffer something in their capital city, India suffered something in 1312 01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:58.880 their capital city. A car explosion toured through a historic 1313 01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:01.760 part of India's appital region on Monday, killing at least 1314 01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:04.760 ten people and injuring many others, prompting the country's leader 1315 01:13:04.800 --> 01:13:06.439 to vow to bring those. 1316 01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:08.359 Responsible quote unquote to justice. 1317 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:11.680 The blast took place near the city's iconic red fort, 1318 01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.439 also known as the Lal Kila, a seventeenth century monument 1319 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:19.199 and a symbol of India's independence. The area, a major 1320 01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:21.880 tourist hub known for its crowded bazaars and street vendors, 1321 01:13:22.159 --> 01:13:26.039 was immediately thrown into chaos. The incident, a rare occurrence 1322 01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:29.840 for the sprawling metropolis of more than thirty million people, 1323 01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:33.359 unleashed a scene of devastation in the heart of Delhi. 1324 01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:37.199 Footage of the aftermath shows thick orange flames billowing out 1325 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:40.600 of the pitch black sky, vehicles twisted and charred from 1326 01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:43.079 the blast, and victims strewn across the street. 1327 01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:44.800 The cause of the blast. 1328 01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:46.840 Is not yet known, and the Indian government has yet 1329 01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:50.760 to blame any specific group. Comments from top government officials 1330 01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:53.000 on Tuesday have begun to suggest the act was a 1331 01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:53.880 deliberate one. 1332 01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:56.239 Speaking from Bhutan. 1333 01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:59.359 Where he is where he is on a visit, India's 1334 01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:02.840 Prime Minister, Modi said, the horrific incident in Delhi has 1335 01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:04.479 deeply saddened everyone. 1336 01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:06.199 So now here's the deal. 1337 01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:10.119 Nobody is willing to absolutely take credit for this as 1338 01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:14.600 of this moment, but there are reports as of right 1339 01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:18.119 now time of recording Wednesday night here that say that 1340 01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:24.000 there are skirmishes picking up along the Pakistani and Indian borders. Now, 1341 01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:26.800 could this be small groups of troops that are pissed 1342 01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:28.640 off that they just had a bombing happen in their 1343 01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.680 city or their country, I should say, And so they 1344 01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:34.159 are seeing that is a reason to just reignite the 1345 01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:37.680 whole conflict. Possibly, and maybe it's a very small unit, 1346 01:14:37.960 --> 01:14:40.720 maybe it's not coming from orders from up top. Maybe 1347 01:14:41.279 --> 01:14:43.960 these are soldiers that are acting on their own behalf. 1348 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:48.960 It's possible, but that also has the possibility of snowballing 1349 01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:53.079 into reigniting the border conflict between these two countries. So 1350 01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:57.119 as one of these explosions happened in the capital city 1351 01:14:57.119 --> 01:14:59.720 in this country, and another one of these explosions happened 1352 01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:01.520 in the apitol city of the other country, and these 1353 01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:04.720 countries just got into a ceasefire agreement with each other. 1354 01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:06.880 You see where I'm going with this. 1355 01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:12.279 It might it may not, but it might reignite the 1356 01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:15.199 conflict between these countries, and we need to be aware 1357 01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:18.920 of that because that could have more of an inherent 1358 01:15:19.039 --> 01:15:21.680 blowback for other Western nations. 1359 01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:26.800 Go ahead, Sham, so I stay with us secrely. 1360 01:15:26.800 --> 01:15:29.560 If Indian Pakistan do just go to war and they 1361 01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:34.439 plashheads like two goats, So what would that mean for us? 1362 01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:36.800 Would that mean that we'd have to go and fight. 1363 01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:42.079 Because because fortunately not fortunately, But and just in my 1364 01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:45.479 my thoughts, I think that they should be like America, 1365 01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:47.640 shouldn't get into it. Just let them fight each other 1366 01:15:47.640 --> 01:15:50.439 and kill each other out. I think America has done 1367 01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:52.359 enough bleeding for other countries. 1368 01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:55.079 That's true, But as a matter of fact, I'm gonna 1369 01:15:55.079 --> 01:15:56.439 look this up just so I don't speak out of 1370 01:15:56.439 --> 01:16:00.840 turn here. I believe the United States and India just 1371 01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:02.880 signed a military packed with each other. 1372 01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:05.520 Just a couple of months ago. 1373 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:07.199 India was part of the BRICKS. 1374 01:16:07.239 --> 01:16:09.760 So while they trying to get with US, if they're 1375 01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:11.520 in bed with Russia. 1376 01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:14.960 Because BRICKS is an economic union, what we talked about 1377 01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:18.479 is the Yeah, it's right here. The US and India 1378 01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.439 signed a ten year deference packed amid tariff turmoil. This 1379 01:16:22.520 --> 01:16:25.880 is from Halloween. As a matter of fact, India and 1380 01:16:25.920 --> 01:16:28.880 the US have signed a framework agreement to expand defense 1381 01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:32.159 cooperation over the next ten years. The pact was announced 1382 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:35.000 after a meeting between US Defense Secretary Pete Hexsath and 1383 01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:40.520 his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh in Kuala Lumpur. The agreement 1384 01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:45.039 will enhance coordination, information sharing, and tech cooperation and advance 1385 01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:49.319 regional stability and deterrence. It comes as the two countries 1386 01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:51.760 are trying to close a trade deal and tied over 1387 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:54.520 these tense ties after US President Trump's last fifty percent 1388 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:58.159 tariffs on India, including a twenty five percent penalty. 1389 01:16:57.760 --> 01:16:59.439 For buying Russian oil and arms. 1390 01:16:59.640 --> 01:17:03.520 Here's India and China just agreed that they're going to 1391 01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:06.359 stop buying Russian oil from the sea. They didn't say 1392 01:17:06.359 --> 01:17:08.239 anything about the land, but most of the oil is 1393 01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:09.279 coming from boats anyway. 1394 01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:11.800 It just it's the easiest way to go about it 1395 01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:12.640 for them. 1396 01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:15.479 They just agreed that they will stop buying Russian oil, 1397 01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:18.560 and as a response to that, America just signed a 1398 01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:24.560 military packed with India. So keep in mind also America 1399 01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:26.199 does have I don't think we have any kind of 1400 01:17:26.199 --> 01:17:28.079 real military packs with Pakistan. 1401 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:29.800 I'm gonna double check on that real quick. 1402 01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:36.000 US Pakistan military packs. 1403 01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:39.359 But what would happen if two NATO net countries did 1404 01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:40.680 go to war against each other? 1405 01:17:42.439 --> 01:17:46.359 That shouldn't be able to happen. That's the whole point 1406 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.680 of NATO is. I don't know honestly, but okay, so 1407 01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:52.600 let's see here. It says there is no single overarching 1408 01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:55.600 US Pakistan military pack today, but rather a series of 1409 01:17:55.640 --> 01:18:00.319 agreements and a historic history of fluctuating cooperation, including past 1410 01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:06.840 memberships in sinto which their GMO GMO jesus their co 1411 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:10.720 op basically, and more recent security memorandums. The relationship has 1412 01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:14.920 been complex, involving military aid. Okay, cool, So As of 1413 01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:17.760 this moment, America has way more ties to India than 1414 01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:18.800 we have to Pakistan. 1415 01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:21.039 And I'm not saying that we would absolutely go to 1416 01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:22.000 war with Pakistan. 1417 01:18:22.920 --> 01:18:26.159 During the post nine to eleven Wars, we actually had 1418 01:18:26.199 --> 01:18:28.840 a decent working relationship with Pakistan. 1419 01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:30.039 Even though they. 1420 01:18:29.960 --> 01:18:32.760 Were allowing Osam bin Laden to hide in their mountains. 1421 01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:35.800 They weren't an enemy of US, but they also weren't 1422 01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:40.319 an ally to Afghanistan or al Qaeda forces. They were 1423 01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:43.920 kind of playing middleman as best they could. Meanwhile, Mody 1424 01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:47.520 wants to buy more American tech. Right they were about 1425 01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:51.079 to buy F thirty fives from US, but then decided 1426 01:18:51.119 --> 01:18:54.399 to go with the Chinese made to thirty seven's or 1427 01:18:54.399 --> 01:18:57.399 whatever it was. I forget the nomenclature. Forgive me for that, 1428 01:18:57.840 --> 01:18:59.720 because they basically were given it to them at cut 1429 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:01.880 rate prices and claiming that they were some sort of 1430 01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:03.520 a sixth or seven gen fighter. 1431 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:06.880 Keep in mind they do have canards. 1432 01:19:07.239 --> 01:19:09.359 But keep in mind, whenever we say like sixth or 1433 01:19:09.399 --> 01:19:13.880 seventh or tenth generation fighter, there is no standard metric 1434 01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:17.600 in the air wing community of nations to say what 1435 01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:21.239 makes something a second gin or third gen. Across the board, 1436 01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:25.279 basically that nation's next generation of fighters could be what 1437 01:19:25.319 --> 01:19:29.159 they want to call it. America's fifth gen is basically 1438 01:19:29.239 --> 01:19:33.239 space age technology as compared to every other national on Earth. 1439 01:19:33.239 --> 01:19:35.319 And it's not even close, like by a factor of 1440 01:19:35.359 --> 01:19:36.199 about fifty years. 1441 01:19:36.319 --> 01:19:36.880 Is not close. 1442 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:42.640 Yes, sam oh, I'm not not to be like popaganda 1443 01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:46.199 or anything, but isn't all like isn't rush like one 1444 01:19:46.199 --> 01:19:48.079 of the they just try to have one of their 1445 01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:50.560 planes be fucking pop driven. 1446 01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:55.800 No, no, no no, they have their uh, their nuclear missile, 1447 01:19:56.159 --> 01:19:59.720 their nuclear powered missile that is going so slow that 1448 01:19:59.720 --> 01:20:01.159 it might as well be prop driven. 1449 01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:05.000 Yes, maybe they should just continue that. 1450 01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:09.119 Maybe they should just go back to putting vodka in factors, 1451 01:20:09.359 --> 01:20:12.359 and war just should not be a Russian game like that. 1452 01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:15.439 They're they're the only good thing for war that Russia 1453 01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:17.760 has done, or is flip the the M one but 1454 01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:20.239 the M one going boat upside down. 1455 01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:22.760 To make a a k very good point. 1456 01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:26.760 That's the only thing that they're good for and sucks. 1457 01:20:27.239 --> 01:20:30.279 But if I watch it, I do love the AK 1458 01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.520 war and I love them sixteen platform. I'm gonna be 1459 01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:33.119 honest with you. 1460 01:20:33.760 --> 01:20:36.920 I like the versatility of the M sixteen. I like 1461 01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:40.560 how way I like it's I like its accuracy. I 1462 01:20:40.680 --> 01:20:43.479 like how it's traversible, you're able to modify and do 1463 01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:46.079 a lot with it. I do love that. But the 1464 01:20:46.119 --> 01:20:50.239 AK is the war dog people, it is. It's the 1465 01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:52.000 you feed it and it works for you, you know what. 1466 01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:54.199 I mean, not not taken away from that. 1467 01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:58.319 It is a good battlement, but it it's the accuracy 1468 01:20:58.399 --> 01:20:58.760 of it. 1469 01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:01.520 Like in eight round. 1470 01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:05.680 I mean, that's we're talking about this versus this. Apparently 1471 01:21:06.359 --> 01:21:10.800 this is more accurate than this. Well, respectfully, I disagree 1472 01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:13.760 now to say that. Even further, if you were to 1473 01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:17.720 give me a long stroke piston driven ar platform, Oh 1474 01:21:17.800 --> 01:21:21.000 I'm here all day. I am here all day. That's 1475 01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:23.680 literally my thing. I don't like the short stroke piston. 1476 01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:26.279 I prefer long stroke piston driven. 1477 01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:28.439 That's just me personally. 1478 01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:31.399 I wish that America Go would instead of using the 1479 01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:33.439 five five six, I wish we could go back to 1480 01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:36.000 the thirty odd six, because all I'm saying is a 1481 01:21:36.039 --> 01:21:38.560 five five six didn't win US two World Wars. 1482 01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:42.079 Perfect example, I'm holding my left hand a thirty odd 1483 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:43.600 six round, am I right? 1484 01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:45.000 I'm holding a five five six. 1485 01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:48.239 I understand that. Keep in mind, I've had a mosin. 1486 01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:51.039 I fucking loved my Mosin up until the point and 1487 01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:51.760 tried to kill me. 1488 01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:53.119 It'd be like that. 1489 01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:56.079 And I understand guns don't kill people, but that that 1490 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:58.960 fucking commy gun had a ghost stat because I took 1491 01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:02.000 the bullets out. That that motherfucker even checked that bitch 1492 01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:05.079 before I and then the night before I went to 1493 01:22:05.159 --> 01:22:08.800 do fucking fifteen count man arms and that bitch went off. 1494 01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:10.800 Even though I know for a fact I took the 1495 01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:13.479 bullets out, do. 1496 01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:15.640 You like check the chamber to make sure one wasn't 1497 01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:16.600 like lodged in there? 1498 01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.439 Yes, I even because I understand there's sometimes a bullet 1499 01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:24.159 can get lodge and the fucking extracted don't work. I 1500 01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:27.680 even thought of that, but I shoot, you know, as 1501 01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:30.199 soon as that bell went out from up under my chin, 1502 01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:34.880 because I went to the shoulder and everything. I did 1503 01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:37.239 not have good for him that day, but I I 1504 01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:38.920 was trying to I was rusty, I was trying to 1505 01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:42.239 polish that shit. Gotcha, it went there, it went off, 1506 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:46.319 and man, the bullet went was this far. 1507 01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:48.720 They knocked the flag down. 1508 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:52.439 It really made my ears wing, and I was like, well, 1509 01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:54.560 I know for a fact Jesus loves. 1510 01:22:54.319 --> 01:22:59.439 Me today well, thankfully you're still with us, Sam, But yeah, 1511 01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:02.159 you know, I agree, I would prefer us go to 1512 01:23:02.239 --> 01:23:06.560 a better round. I like the thirty six personally, but 1513 01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:10.039 even still depends on the application. I mean, if you're 1514 01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:13.119 going for a sub sonic that is still as accurate, 1515 01:23:13.720 --> 01:23:15.680 you could go for a three hundred blackout right, which 1516 01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:17.479 was developed for so comm uses. 1517 01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:19.399 They're doing a lot. 1518 01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:22.119 They're doing a lot with weapons engineering right now, and 1519 01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:24.760 I love it. And that's why I like like the 1520 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:28.439 honey Badger as a weapon that is excellent, and I 1521 01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:30.840 wish we were able to put that to more scale. 1522 01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:33.960 But shout out honey Badger, shout out to Q. 1523 01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:38.239 But the thing is his his facility is only making 1524 01:23:38.520 --> 01:23:40.319 as much as they're going to make because it's a 1525 01:23:40.359 --> 01:23:42.439 money endeavor for him, and I get it. 1526 01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:45.119 I'll talk about the Coltman and the Honey Badger. 1527 01:23:45.359 --> 01:23:46.600 Oh, shoutout honey Badger. 1528 01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:49.960 Yes, indeed, Yeah, But the Honey Badger is a good 1529 01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:52.840 weapon system. I like the fact that it's an integrated 1530 01:23:52.920 --> 01:23:56.800 or suppressor, which, funny enough, the stand had in World 1531 01:23:56.800 --> 01:24:00.520 War Two, which also you can take this when it 1532 01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:02.199 was first rated, it was like twenty five bucks. You 1533 01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:04.680 can literally go in a into a lows of home depot, 1534 01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:08.079 get about twenty bucks worth the midchew and walk out. 1535 01:24:08.119 --> 01:24:10.079 You're gonna have a fully functioned on machine gun. 1536 01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:12.600 Basically. I mean you can still do that now with 1537 01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:15.960 a looty. You can build it yourself in machine a 1538 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:18.439 couple of parts. But it's it's really easy to make 1539 01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:19.920 a fully automatic nine mil. 1540 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:23.760 Actually, dude, it's easy to make a fucking shotgun out 1541 01:24:23.800 --> 01:24:24.560 of a bunk bed. 1542 01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:27.560 Oh yeah, yeah, you just need two pipes. Basically you 1543 01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:29.760 used to make a pipe gun. But beside the point. 1544 01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:31.760 Beside the point. Also as talking about the honey Badger, 1545 01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:34.359 I do like it's little brother, the sugar Weasel as well. 1546 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:35.039 I like that. 1547 01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:36.760 Oh I'm gonna have to look that one up. 1548 01:24:37.159 --> 01:24:39.720 Think of a it's a honey badger that is chambered 1549 01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:40.520 in five five to six. 1550 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:42.680 Oh, that that'd be cool. 1551 01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.800 Yeah, we call it the sugar Weasel. It's also pretty dope. 1552 01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:47.640 I will give it its flowers. 1553 01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:49.279 But all right, So. 1554 01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:53.479 Back to the overarching theme here, if India and Pakistan 1555 01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:56.520 were to go into full fledged war, I don't think 1556 01:24:56.520 --> 01:24:59.600 that the military alliance that America has with Indio would 1557 01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:03.560 dict that we go to war with Pakistan. However, it 1558 01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:05.399 would mean that we are going to be more on 1559 01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:08.239 India's side as far as that's concerned, and give them 1560 01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:11.960 some information, right, give them some intel, possibly give them 1561 01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:14.319 a cut rate on some weapons systems and things like that. 1562 01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:17.239 I don't know, and I'm not saying that the conflict 1563 01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:19.880 of what's going on right now in these two attacks, 1564 01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:23.119 they may have been done independently and from in house 1565 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:27.319 terrorist groups. It's very possible. But as of this moment, 1566 01:25:27.399 --> 01:25:31.479 there are skirmishes, small skirmishes popping up all along the 1567 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:35.319 India and Pakistan border. Hopefully in the next couple of 1568 01:25:35.399 --> 01:25:38.439 days that should be squashed and everybody can go back 1569 01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:41.720 to being calm individuals and it won't snowball into an 1570 01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:45.640 all out war. But it is worth mentioning. Pete Heg 1571 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:47.520 said just brought up the fact that World War IIE 1572 01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:50.359 might be looming on the horizon. Trump just got on 1573 01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:53.439 and said that he wanted to start retesting nuclear weapons. 1574 01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:55.720 China's doing the same, Russia is doing the same, North 1575 01:25:55.760 --> 01:25:58.880 Korea is doing the same. India Nintie sorry Iran has 1576 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:04.279 been pushing and push for their nuclear manufacturing capabilities and 1577 01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:06.760 they're saying that they're doing it for nuclear power, even 1578 01:26:06.800 --> 01:26:09.079 though it's confirmed that they were making yellow cake. And 1579 01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:11.560 there's no reason you would be making yellow cake unless 1580 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:13.760 you are trying to push it to the limits of 1581 01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:17.920 being weapons grade. So as all of these nations are 1582 01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:22.000 reigniting their quote unquote nuclear programs, keep in mind Trump 1583 01:26:22.039 --> 01:26:25.760 is now also trying to reignite America's nuclear programs. Pretty 1584 01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:30.680 much any small conflict India and Pakistan included, could potentially 1585 01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:33.560 lead to more things, that lead to more things, which 1586 01:26:33.640 --> 01:26:35.600 lead to more things, which lead to a world war. 1587 01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:38.439 I'm not saying it's a guarantee. I'm saying it's all possible, 1588 01:26:38.439 --> 01:26:39.479 and we got to be aware of it. 1589 01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:40.319 Go ahead. 1590 01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:45.800 About the World War three, Oh, I know that. Yes, 1591 01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:49.199 historically we have had them. It is always it is. 1592 01:26:49.319 --> 01:26:53.079 The possibility is always greater than zero. What I cannot 1593 01:26:53.199 --> 01:26:55.840 help but to think that we are somewhat more I 1594 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:58.880 wouldn't say we're more civilized, We're more greedy more, we 1595 01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:02.119 care more about that money. So why would Russia want 1596 01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:04.840 to do anything that will fuck up their their their 1597 01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:09.680 money getting. But then again, you with Iran, I don't know, 1598 01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:13.039 don't look, give me look I understand the Slavic special ed. 1599 01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:14.199 No, no, no doubt. 1600 01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:15.960 But I mean keep in mind they're they're they are 1601 01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:19.359 about the money, that's correct, But then they're also feeling 1602 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:22.159 that hit because their two biggest buyers of oil are 1603 01:27:22.199 --> 01:27:23.359 no longer buying their oil. 1604 01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:29.159 So, but I don't think Russia would actually use a nuke, 1605 01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.920 especially on a country not even five miles away from them, 1606 01:27:34.199 --> 01:27:37.600 because like that, that that radiation isn't just gonna be 1607 01:27:37.600 --> 01:27:42.199 contained in Ukraine. The global air currents and uh water 1608 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:45.680 currents is gonna take that. That's gonna bite Russia in 1609 01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:48.520 the ass, not just from all the other countries, but 1610 01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:51.319 it's gonna bite them in the ass ecologically, and it's 1611 01:27:51.359 --> 01:27:53.920 gonna bite them, bite them in the ass agriculturally. 1612 01:27:54.560 --> 01:27:55.800 Yeah, No, no, no, I don't. 1613 01:27:56.399 --> 01:27:59.000 I'm still of the belief that everything of the nuclear 1614 01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:02.880 conversation is is the ultimate saber rattle. But it's that's 1615 01:28:02.920 --> 01:28:04.039 all it's ever gonna amount to. 1616 01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:10.520 That's what everybody's worried about the about nuclear war, but 1617 01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:13.600 because when people think of it, they think like fallouts. 1618 01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.199 Though for that that happened, the bombs would have to 1619 01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:21.119 hit the ground then explode. Sorry, but what has historically 1620 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.680 happened is it's an air burst, it blows up, takes 1621 01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:29.039 out majority of the radiation, and which is why Narasaki 1622 01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:31.760 can hear shama or livable today because most of the 1623 01:28:32.279 --> 01:28:36.439 radiation it dissipated through dissipated within three days, ye. 1624 01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:38.520 In like two weeks. 1625 01:28:38.640 --> 01:28:42.359 Honestly, yes, what the reason why Chernobyl is so fucked 1626 01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:45.800 is because it's all sitting there molting and just sitting 1627 01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:50.640 on itself and there's no fixing Chernobyl. But Chernobyl should 1628 01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:56.880 be the the the what the example because even that 1629 01:28:56.880 --> 01:28:59.520 that that the they cut conas on it, they didn't 1630 01:28:59.560 --> 01:29:02.680 do the jumping the mud right, they just dropped straight 1631 01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:03.319 water on it. 1632 01:29:04.079 --> 01:29:06.640 And that was a man made critical error. 1633 01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:10.479 Now that being said, there is a new species of 1634 01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:13.720 black mold that is our black fung gui that is 1635 01:29:13.800 --> 01:29:18.279 growing on certain structures Inchernobyl, that is actually eating the radiation. 1636 01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:20.720 So will find a way. 1637 01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:23.239 Nature is finding a way to heal itself, even through 1638 01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:27.399 human malfesians. But that being said, yet then there's examples 1639 01:29:27.439 --> 01:29:31.520 of like downwinders that lived near or around nuclear testing 1640 01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:34.600 sites and it wasn't like right, it wasn't like one 1641 01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:36.560 bomb that went off and they called in and said 1642 01:29:36.600 --> 01:29:38.439 they're like growing a third arm. It wasn't like that. 1643 01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:42.159 But after years of nuclear testing and all of that 1644 01:29:42.239 --> 01:29:45.479 blowing on them time after time after time after time, yeah, 1645 01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:46.840 they started seeing some results. 1646 01:29:47.159 --> 01:29:48.720 So like, I'm with you on that too. 1647 01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:51.960 But no, I don't believe that World War three will 1648 01:29:52.000 --> 01:29:54.880 devolve into a nuclear war. The media will have you 1649 01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:57.640 believe these things. I don't think that's ever actually gonna happen. 1650 01:29:57.960 --> 01:30:00.399 But as far as the alliance is with the India 1651 01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:02.840 and the United States right now, I don't think that's 1652 01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:05.840 gonna go nuclear either. I don't think the Russia conflict's 1653 01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:07.640 gonna go there. I don't think North Korea is actually 1654 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:10.239 gonna do that. They tested a nuke, and that's a 1655 01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:12.760 thing that took place. I don't think they would actually 1656 01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:15.039 be dumb enough to use it. Even China, one of 1657 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:18.399 their closest allies, when they successfully launched that nuke, sent 1658 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.439 one hundred thousand troops to their border and said, hey, homie, 1659 01:30:21.520 --> 01:30:23.399 I'm gonna need you to calm down on that shit, 1660 01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:25.600 and Kim Jong finally listened. 1661 01:30:25.640 --> 01:30:30.600 But even still, it's yeah, Vocketman is not doing so good. 1662 01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:31.159 Though. 1663 01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:34.680 This is gonna sound controversial. I'd rather him being in 1664 01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:36.840 charge than his fucking sister. 1665 01:30:37.319 --> 01:30:38.720 Oh yeah, that's not controversial. 1666 01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:43.159 That's a fact that Broad is evil dog guy. Pretty 1667 01:30:43.199 --> 01:30:45.479 sure she even killed her own husband. 1668 01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:48.720 I think that she was a lot more had her 1669 01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:51.439 hand in the killing of their uncle than Kim did. 1670 01:30:52.399 --> 01:30:54.880 Dude, I'm pretty sure that she's the one who killed 1671 01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:56.279 their brother instead of Kim. 1672 01:30:56.920 --> 01:31:00.199 I think that about the brother, the uncle that was 1673 01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:03.840 You heard about him dying in Japan. Yes, We're gonna 1674 01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:06.359 do an episode on the Cultic Conspiracy about that, the 1675 01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:09.520 way that he was killed with VX. But it was 1676 01:31:09.560 --> 01:31:11.439 off of the hands of those two girls that had 1677 01:31:11.439 --> 01:31:11.800 no idea. 1678 01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:14.079 What was that was their brother? That wasn't an uncle 1679 01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:14.800 that was the brother? 1680 01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:17.399 Okay, I have to do a little more digging. 1681 01:31:18.119 --> 01:31:20.439 Uh it was either their uncle or yeah, it was 1682 01:31:20.439 --> 01:31:22.560 an uncle that was like one of the real big 1683 01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:27.199 business things. Who was in that was a puppet master 1684 01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:31.439 of Kim's father, And when Kim came up, the uncle thought, 1685 01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:34.000 well maybe I can just he thought he could just 1686 01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:34.800 stay in that wall. 1687 01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:37.640 No, Kim had him. Uh. 1688 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:40.039 If I'm not mistaken, he's the one that the rooms 1689 01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:42.439 was that he was executed via AA gun. 1690 01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:45.479 Okay, no, No, I'm talking about the one that got 1691 01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:50.000 VX on his face in Japan. Was okay, Yeah, i'mna 1692 01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:51.199 have to do more digging on it. We're gonna do 1693 01:31:51.199 --> 01:31:53.359 an episode on the cultic Conspiracy about that soon. 1694 01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:57.640 But yeah, I don't believe. No, you're good, You're good. 1695 01:31:58.039 --> 01:31:58.840 I don't think that. 1696 01:31:59.279 --> 01:31:59.680 Uh. 1697 01:32:00.479 --> 01:32:02.520 I don't think the world is at risk of nuclear war. 1698 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:05.279 I don't Are we at risk of World War three? 1699 01:32:05.680 --> 01:32:06.199 Possibly? 1700 01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:10.680 Possibly, and I hope not, but possibly, Well, it could 1701 01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:11.560 be against Ai. 1702 01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:13.479 That's a conversation we have. For sure. 1703 01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:15.039 I think we are. 1704 01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:20.119 I think if the nukes ever got used, just my 1705 01:32:20.319 --> 01:32:23.279 humble opinion, I think it's because the clankers used it 1706 01:32:23.319 --> 01:32:24.319 against us. 1707 01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:27.000 It's very possible. It's very possible. 1708 01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:31.079 But all right, moving on to the next conversational piece. 1709 01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:33.840 As we were talking about certain things around the world, 1710 01:32:34.279 --> 01:32:37.239 let's go a little further east into Asia and talk 1711 01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:41.079 about the Thailand and Cambodia peace deal on the brink 1712 01:32:41.560 --> 01:32:45.760 after clashing disputed border settlements. The incident, which Cambodia says 1713 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:48.840 left one civilian dead, comes two days after a TIE 1714 01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:52.600 soldier was reportedly injured by a land mine explosion at 1715 01:32:52.600 --> 01:32:55.680 the border, let's get into it. Thailand and Cambodia have 1716 01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:59.680 traded accusations over another outbreak of violence along their shared border, 1717 01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:03.720 marking the likely collapse of the peace accord agreed between 1718 01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:08.039 the two nations last month. Late yesterday, Cambodia's government accused 1719 01:33:08.079 --> 01:33:11.039 Thai soldiers of opening fire on civilians in a disputed 1720 01:33:11.079 --> 01:33:16.239 settlement on the border between Cambodia's Bontier Mianhe Province probably 1721 01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:19.880 mispronounced that and Thailand's Sa Kiyo Province. 1722 01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:24.279 In a statement, the Ministry of Information said The Ministry 1723 01:33:24.319 --> 01:33:26.520 of Information Okay. 1724 01:33:26.640 --> 01:33:30.079 Said that Thai soldiers opened fire on Cambodian civilians around 1725 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:33.000 three point fifty pm yesterday. The incident led to the 1726 01:33:33.039 --> 01:33:35.600 death of one civilian and injured three others, it added. 1727 01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:39.319 In a subsequent Facebook post, Cambodian Prime Minister Han Manette 1728 01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:43.359 said he strongly protested the unprovoked use of violence and 1729 01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:47.199 that Cambodia remains committed to resolving this border issue peacefully, 1730 01:33:47.560 --> 01:33:49.880 in line with the joint decorations signed by the two 1731 01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:55.239 nations in Kuala Lumpur on October twenty six. The decoration, 1732 01:33:55.720 --> 01:33:58.159 which was signed under the supervision of the US President 1733 01:33:58.159 --> 01:34:02.399 Donald Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Ibram was intended to 1734 01:34:02.560 --> 01:34:05.000 end the border dispute that erupted in an open into 1735 01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:08.479 open conflicts for five days in July, killing at least 1736 01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.439 forty three people and displacing more than three hundred thousand 1737 01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:15.119 civilians on both sides of the border. After initially denying 1738 01:34:15.119 --> 01:34:18.840 that if fired at or injured Cambodian civilians, the Thai 1739 01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:24.239 government yesterday confirmed the incident. However, Royal Thai Army spokesperson 1740 01:34:24.479 --> 01:34:27.880 claimed that the Thai soldiers were responding to Cambodian troops 1741 01:34:27.880 --> 01:34:31.800 who fired shots into Thai territory. The incident lasted about 1742 01:34:31.840 --> 01:34:35.760 ten minutes before Kolm was restored. The statement read. No 1743 01:34:35.920 --> 01:34:39.079 Thai casualties were reported. The incident took place in a 1744 01:34:39.119 --> 01:34:42.359 disputed frontier settlement, which Cambodia says is part of the 1745 01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:47.039 Prey Shan village in Bontier Manche, and Thailand claims it's 1746 01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:52.479 part of Ban Nong ya qu Jesus village of Seikio. 1747 01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:55.760 The area has in recent months been the site of 1748 01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:59.520 a number of confrontations between Thai soldiers and Cambodian civilians 1749 01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:02.319 who they have been blocked from land in homes that 1750 01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:07.359 they have been occupying for decades. So anyway, basically, this 1751 01:35:07.520 --> 01:35:12.520 small incident might become a big incident. And as well 1752 01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:14.840 as that was going on, a Tie soldier stepped on 1753 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:20.000 a landmine. Now, where did that landmine come from? It's 1754 01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:23.079 a very good question. That's not important. What is important 1755 01:35:23.119 --> 01:35:24.920 is that that was done around the same time that 1756 01:35:24.960 --> 01:35:26.239 this other incident took place. 1757 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:28.079 Both sides are blaming each other. 1758 01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:31.039 It's becoming a whole issue, and it might spit in 1759 01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:32.840 the face of the peace of court that they literally 1760 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:35.199 just signed. Let's go ahead and watch this little video 1761 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:37.640 on it. That's gonna give a little more description on this. 1762 01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:38.159 Let's go. 1763 01:35:40.720 --> 01:35:46.119 A conflict in Southeast Asia is escalating. Tie and Cambodian 1764 01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:49.840 forces are clashing along their shed border. The fighting has 1765 01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:53.960 killed at least twelve civilians. Here's what we know so far. 1766 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:58.439 Thai officials say clashes are ongoing and at least six 1767 01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:02.279 areas across the frontier. The first erupted near an ancient 1768 01:36:02.399 --> 01:36:07.199 temple near Thailand's Surin Province and Cambodia's odd Mayanshade region. 1769 01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:12.880 Despite efforts to ease tensions, the situation escalated quickly, with 1770 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:18.439 fighting across multiple disputed stretches of the border. Cambodia has 1771 01:36:18.439 --> 01:36:22.039 been accused of firing rockets into a Thai village, while 1772 01:36:22.079 --> 01:36:26.720 Thailand has carried out airstrikes on Cambodian military targets. At 1773 01:36:26.840 --> 01:36:30.560 least twelve ties, mostly civilians, have been killed across three 1774 01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:34.640 Thai provinces. Six of those deaths happened in Sizaket after 1775 01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:38.159 shots were fired at a gas station. Both sides say 1776 01:36:38.199 --> 01:36:41.359 they were acting in self defense, each accusing the other 1777 01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:43.000 of firing the first shot. 1778 01:36:45.119 --> 01:36:48.000 The Royal Thai government urges Cambodia. 1779 01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:49.560 To seize its repeated. 1780 01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:54.920 Act, which constitutes severe violations of international law. There are 1781 01:36:54.920 --> 01:36:58.880 no other ways but to use the Royal Thai Air 1782 01:36:58.920 --> 01:37:02.600 Force will defend ourselves. 1783 01:37:03.119 --> 01:37:13.600 That glam John CROWNI Vilai Thai Gudika Hi. 1784 01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:17.399 For the record, This guy speaking in a language that 1785 01:37:17.399 --> 01:37:19.880 most of our listeners won't speak. He is basically saying 1786 01:37:19.880 --> 01:37:22.680 that everything it took place today is Thailand's fault. He said, 1787 01:37:22.720 --> 01:37:26.119 please remember, brothers and sisters in the international community that 1788 01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:30.319 Thailand opened fire on us because they want our land. 1789 01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:34.039 Hi, but you brought. 1790 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:41.640 Thailand has closed the border with Cambodia, telling Thai nationals 1791 01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:45.600 to leave the country. This is the second armed confrontation 1792 01:37:45.800 --> 01:37:50.159 since May, when a Cambodian soldier was shot dead. Tensions 1793 01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:53.640 fled again over the past week when two separate landmine 1794 01:37:53.680 --> 01:37:58.880 explosions injured Thai soldiers, prompting Thailand to swiftly shut the border. 1795 01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:04.840 Clashes between Thailand and Cambodia are nothing new. The two 1796 01:38:04.880 --> 01:38:08.560 countries share a frontier stretching more than eight hundred kilometers 1797 01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:11.920 drawn up in nineteen oh seven under French colonial rule. 1798 01:38:14.039 --> 01:38:16.560 Cambodia has been using the map as a reference to 1799 01:38:16.640 --> 01:38:21.279 claim territory, but Thailand insists the map is flawed. Some 1800 01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:24.560 of the most violent flashpoints have been around here, close 1801 01:38:24.600 --> 01:38:28.159 to the one thousand year old pray Vehir Temple. Both 1802 01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:31.439 countries claim the temple as their own, and in nineteen 1803 01:38:31.520 --> 01:38:35.039 sixty two, the International Court of Justice awarded the temple 1804 01:38:35.079 --> 01:38:40.279 to Cambodia, but the ruling didn't end the dispute. Instead, 1805 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:44.199 it made things worse, and over the last fifteen years, 1806 01:38:44.239 --> 01:38:49.159 deadly skirmishes have continued in the area. These latest clashes 1807 01:38:49.319 --> 01:38:54.399 reopen old wounds driven by nationalist passions, religious symbolism, and 1808 01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:58.920 historical grievance. Leaders across Asia are now calling for an 1809 01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:00.520 immediate DS Galatian. 1810 01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:06.239 Okay, now, Sam, I see your hand raised, brotherly, go. 1811 01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:08.000 Ahead, okay. 1812 01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:13.119 So just so that everyone's aware, a majority of the 1813 01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:18.560 the minds that is in Asia right around high Land Laos, Cambodian. 1814 01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:18.800 All. 1815 01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:21.399 Yeah, a couple of them came from the Vietnam War 1816 01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:24.199 and like the Korean War and ship like that, but 1817 01:39:24.439 --> 01:39:27.640 majority of that was was placed there by the Japanese 1818 01:39:27.680 --> 01:39:32.439 in World War two. Not just that, we also during 1819 01:39:32.600 --> 01:39:36.479 Vietnam War we also dropped a fuck ton of anti 1820 01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:42.000 personnel mines and shipped from airplanes and everything. And well 1821 01:39:42.439 --> 01:39:45.720 a landmine doesn't care whether you're a fund for if 1822 01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:48.600 you're a noncombatant a thousand years from now. 1823 01:39:48.640 --> 01:39:51.600 As long as it's find that thing will go off. 1824 01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:55.560 So I don't said it on the wires and things, 1825 01:39:55.640 --> 01:39:59.039 but yeah, they're made to be protected against that for sure. 1826 01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:02.960 Well, you have some land minds that if it's anti personnel, 1827 01:40:03.000 --> 01:40:04.840 as soon as you step on it is going off. 1828 01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:07.439 But the ones that that, oh, if you step on 1829 01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:09.560 it don't go off. It's because a lot of times 1830 01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:12.920 that's meant for vehicles. So it's gonna have like a 1831 01:40:13.000 --> 01:40:16.680 required pressure weight like to actually set it on and 1832 01:40:16.760 --> 01:40:18.439 explode and for a detonate. 1833 01:40:19.239 --> 01:40:22.279 No, I don't know why Hollywood says, oh they stepped 1834 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:24.479 on a landline. As long as you don't move you okay, 1835 01:40:24.600 --> 01:40:25.079 nah bitch. 1836 01:40:25.239 --> 01:40:28.560 As soon as that that connects, that just completed, the 1837 01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:30.319 circuit in that goes boom. 1838 01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:34.199 I really like explosive state. They make my mind take tingle. 1839 01:40:34.319 --> 01:40:36.279 That's why I don't want to be eod. 1840 01:40:36.439 --> 01:40:36.840 No doubt. 1841 01:40:36.880 --> 01:40:39.479 But now there's other types of triggering devices. Some of 1842 01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:41.880 them once you push it, it arms it and as 1843 01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:44.600 soon as you lift off of it, it explodes. There's 1844 01:40:44.680 --> 01:40:46.920 movies that make that seem like it's way more prevalent 1845 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:48.039 than it actually is. 1846 01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:51.520 That they do exist, those type of lines do exist, 1847 01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:52.079 and yes. 1848 01:40:51.920 --> 01:40:54.319 They were used by Vietnamese forces, They were used in 1849 01:40:54.359 --> 01:40:55.920 other areas and other conflicts. 1850 01:40:56.680 --> 01:40:58.439 Russians use them at one point in time. 1851 01:40:59.039 --> 01:41:03.600 That is Uh, those are not as prevalent as the 1852 01:41:03.640 --> 01:41:04.760 movies would have you believe. 1853 01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:06.760 Those are more of the rarities. 1854 01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:11.119 Actually. Do you know what the British called it, the 1855 01:41:11.159 --> 01:41:15.079 debocla but you know what we would call a bouncing 1856 01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:15.800 betty m. 1857 01:41:17.600 --> 01:41:21.359 An as mine for the in Germany, like when they 1858 01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:25.680 would step it like here, it would bit taller. You 1859 01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:29.439 can set it up like you can even even a 1860 01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:32.199 lot of times that anyway, it would. It's a mind 1861 01:41:32.199 --> 01:41:34.760 that when the circuit is completely shoots up the h 1862 01:41:35.039 --> 01:41:40.000 the explosion and then it scatters ball barons about waist high. Yeah, 1863 01:41:40.119 --> 01:41:43.600 why it's called the debocular because it would. They a 1864 01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:47.960 lot of guys lost their family joels that way. They're 1865 01:41:48.560 --> 01:41:53.000 also Asians they I mean, so did the drums in 1866 01:41:53.000 --> 01:41:54.800 the British in World War One when they did the 1867 01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:57.039 exact same thing with the booby traps, they would leave 1868 01:41:58.079 --> 01:41:59.560 wirecutters as a fuck. 1869 01:41:59.479 --> 01:41:59.680 You know. 1870 01:42:00.239 --> 01:42:05.000 But like stuff in like Covi and the Jungle and all, 1871 01:42:05.279 --> 01:42:08.279 I guarantee you there are still there are still booby 1872 01:42:08.319 --> 01:42:11.119 traps and all that our guys have set that are 1873 01:42:11.199 --> 01:42:12.600 still pined in anything. 1874 01:42:12.920 --> 01:42:14.800 We talked about that on an episode of the Cult. 1875 01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:16.840 As a matter of fact, we're talking about the giant 1876 01:42:16.840 --> 01:42:19.880 stone jars in Cambodia and Laos. 1877 01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:25.079 These Yeah, I don't remember that one. 1878 01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:31.399 They have these giant stone jars or pots or whatever 1879 01:42:31.439 --> 01:42:34.159 you want to call it. There's a lot of speculation 1880 01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:35.960 as to what they were used for in the ancient 1881 01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:38.840 times and all these things. The problem is this area 1882 01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:42.399 is along the huci Min trail and although these stone 1883 01:42:42.520 --> 01:42:47.680 pots were laid there god knows how long ago, because 1884 01:42:47.680 --> 01:42:50.319 they are on the huci Min trail, they have land 1885 01:42:50.359 --> 01:42:52.840 mines littered all throughout the area, so we can only 1886 01:42:52.920 --> 01:42:58.039 for archaeological digging and scientific purposes only access like ten 1887 01:42:58.079 --> 01:43:00.239 percent of them. The rest of them, like, they're not 1888 01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:02.920 cleared of land mines yet. So it's yeah, that was 1889 01:43:02.920 --> 01:43:05.399 an episode we did this year. I know that much. 1890 01:43:06.479 --> 01:43:11.039 Also, they wouldn't just use like explosives in everything that 1891 01:43:11.319 --> 01:43:14.800 u They also used the pungi sticks and they would 1892 01:43:14.800 --> 01:43:19.680 also have like the ceramic jaws or whatever filled with 1893 01:43:19.720 --> 01:43:23.119 battlesnakes and everything. So when our out of rat tunnels 1894 01:43:23.119 --> 01:43:26.159 would go in, they'd break that the jaw would come down, 1895 01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:29.680 they'd hit a thing, it would make the jaw come open, 1896 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.079 and you got a pissed off coblo, battlesnake, what have 1897 01:43:32.199 --> 01:43:35.520 you that you're you're gonna You're gonna get bit in 1898 01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:36.760 the middle of a fucking tunnel. 1899 01:43:36.800 --> 01:43:38.840 You can't see, no doubt, no doubt. 1900 01:43:38.880 --> 01:43:41.880 But again again we don't know as of this moment 1901 01:43:42.239 --> 01:43:45.359 who set the landmine that the Cambodian soldier stepped on. 1902 01:43:45.399 --> 01:43:48.159 It's very possible that it's a remnant of any one 1903 01:43:48.199 --> 01:43:51.840 of those foreign nations from wars of many decades back. 1904 01:43:52.039 --> 01:43:54.399 It's very possible that it was set by the tie fighters. 1905 01:43:54.520 --> 01:43:58.560 Who knows tie fighters. We got start wars up in 1906 01:43:58.600 --> 01:43:58.960 here now. 1907 01:43:59.199 --> 01:44:06.039 No Thailand, Oh yeah, the other nations that's. 1908 01:44:05.279 --> 01:44:06.840 Beefing with Cambodia right now. 1909 01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:10.520 I understand that, but one of our I don't. I don't. 1910 01:44:10.960 --> 01:44:13.720 When I think of ties and like fighters, I'm thinking 1911 01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:17.039 like muy Thai or a really pissed off lady boy 1912 01:44:17.079 --> 01:44:19.920 that some domb assen didn't want to pay. 1913 01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:24.319 That's where goes all right, all right, fair enough anyway, 1914 01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:27.279 moving on to the next topic of discussion. 1915 01:44:27.760 --> 01:44:28.680 This is from the BBC. 1916 01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:33.800 Satellite images indicates burning of bodies after fall of Sudan's city. 1917 01:44:34.239 --> 01:44:35.319 Let's get into it here. 1918 01:44:35.640 --> 01:44:40.239 Analysis of satellite imagery suggests paramilitary fighters in Sudan may 1919 01:44:40.239 --> 01:44:43.760 have burned bodies before burying them in mass graves after 1920 01:44:43.800 --> 01:44:46.119 the fall of the city of El Fasher. 1921 01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:49.319 Let's get into it here. It says claims of mass. 1922 01:44:49.159 --> 01:44:54.159 Graves and body burnings in Sudan's l Fasher city following 1923 01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:57.840 its takeover of the Sudanese city of l Fasher in October. 1924 01:44:58.159 --> 01:45:02.119 We've been investigating reports that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces 1925 01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:06.000 or RSF, buried hundreds of bodies in mass graves there, 1926 01:45:06.199 --> 01:45:09.800 burning some before doing so. In our previous reporting, We've 1927 01:45:09.920 --> 01:45:13.760 now analyzed multiple satellite images of areas where we can 1928 01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:17.399 see white shapes consistent with the size of adult bodies 1929 01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:20.920 in shrouds and mounds of newly displaced. 1930 01:45:20.359 --> 01:45:22.399 Earth near a former children's hospital. 1931 01:45:22.920 --> 01:45:27.199 These were the first reported by a Yale Humanitarian Research Lab, 1932 01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:30.600 which has analyzed further imagery of the grounds of the 1933 01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:35.239 city's Saudy Hospital and said this indicates somebodies. 1934 01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:37.159 Were burned before burial in mass graves. 1935 01:45:37.479 --> 01:45:40.520 The Sudan Doctors' Network has said the RSF has done 1936 01:45:40.600 --> 01:45:42.279 this to conceal evidence. 1937 01:45:41.880 --> 01:45:43.399 Of their crimes against civilians. 1938 01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:48.600 BBC Verify has obtained satellite imagery from Vantor, allowing us 1939 01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:51.920 to confirm Yale's work, showing ground being dug, white objects 1940 01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:55.000 at the site the next day, and black smoke emerging 1941 01:45:55.159 --> 01:45:57.680 from the area a few days later. So this is 1942 01:45:57.720 --> 01:46:00.279 actually a satellite image that they are talking about. Here, 1943 01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:01.880 I'm gonna zoom in a bit so we can get 1944 01:46:01.880 --> 01:46:05.439 a better look. So here we see fresh dirt and 1945 01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:10.279 holes being dug. The very next day, that was October thirty, 1946 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:14.479 first November. First we see piles of what appear to 1947 01:46:14.520 --> 01:46:18.840 be bodies in bags or shrouds. Right then the very 1948 01:46:18.880 --> 01:46:23.039 next day nobodies, no shrouds anything like that, a lot 1949 01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:26.680 of black smoke and soot. And then what they don't 1950 01:46:26.680 --> 01:46:28.920 show here but you can find better images of now, 1951 01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:33.039 because this was on November sixth. Today the area has 1952 01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:37.479 no fresh dirt from a hole being dug. They've covered 1953 01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:40.000 it up, basically, and they did this in an attempt 1954 01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:43.119 to cover the evidence of their war crimes. 1955 01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:49.319 Go ahead, Sam, is this the because I know all 1956 01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:52.439 as Streek that there were so many Christians being killed 1957 01:46:52.439 --> 01:46:56.760 like Insidan you could actually see the blood, the pools 1958 01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:57.800 of blood from space. 1959 01:46:58.039 --> 01:47:02.960 Is this the ones that we're talking about last night? Oh, 1960 01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:06.319 I swore it was. I was reading that it was 1961 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:06.960 at in Sedan. 1962 01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:10.319 No, no, no, I know Sudan's got some stuff going 1963 01:47:10.359 --> 01:47:14.039 on too. I don't know if that is specifically against 1964 01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:17.119 Christians or if it is like this is basically the 1965 01:47:17.239 --> 01:47:19.560 RSF trying to just impose their will. 1966 01:47:19.359 --> 01:47:20.319 And take over cities. 1967 01:47:20.760 --> 01:47:22.640 I'm sure if you're a Christian in Sudan that that's 1968 01:47:22.680 --> 01:47:24.399 bad for your health right now too, But. 1969 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:30.720 Yeah, break it down, keep us a RSF. The rss NO. 1970 01:47:31.000 --> 01:47:35.920 RSF is the Rapid Support Forces, which is essentially the 1971 01:47:36.039 --> 01:47:38.720 new iteration of a group you may have heard of 1972 01:47:38.760 --> 01:47:42.399 before called the Janjaweed. You remember hearing about a genocide 1973 01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:45.239 going on in Sudan's the Darfur region and that the 1974 01:47:45.319 --> 01:47:48.960 Dupes that were doing this were called the janjawed That 1975 01:47:49.039 --> 01:47:51.680 group has now become the RSF. 1976 01:47:52.439 --> 01:47:57.399 Why, Okay, So I'm just going off of the culture. 1977 01:47:57.000 --> 01:48:00.479 And the location. I'm gonna assume that there of the 1978 01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:04.359 Islamic faith. Of course you said the ginger wed. 1979 01:48:04.359 --> 01:48:05.079 Right, yep? 1980 01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:05.359 So? 1981 01:48:05.800 --> 01:48:07.399 Or ganja lead or whatever the fuck? 1982 01:48:08.079 --> 01:48:11.119 Why is it that it sounds like that that name 1983 01:48:11.199 --> 01:48:16.479 would be very problematic since it's not harm or that 1984 01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:20.720 it is because it sounds like an intoxicant. 1985 01:48:20.520 --> 01:48:25.079 Jan ja weed not ganja weed. But do you. 1986 01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:29.439 In their language, that is not what they would use 1987 01:48:29.479 --> 01:48:32.640 to describe the sacred herb if that's what you're getting at. 1988 01:48:32.640 --> 01:48:34.760 Although I do think that's funny, that's good things. 1989 01:48:35.600 --> 01:48:39.520 But everywhere might find there you. 1990 01:48:39.479 --> 01:48:40.439 Go, there you go. 1991 01:48:40.800 --> 01:48:43.119 So anyway, these are the images of what's going down 1992 01:48:43.199 --> 01:48:45.840 in Sudan as of this moment. We now have a 1993 01:48:45.920 --> 01:48:47.680 video that we're going to play to talk a little 1994 01:48:47.720 --> 01:48:49.520 bit more about this. Let's learn together. 1995 01:48:49.920 --> 01:48:53.199 The doctors in Sadan say the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces 1996 01:48:53.279 --> 01:48:57.359 has been concealing evidence of its atrocities. The Saddan Doctors 1997 01:48:57.439 --> 01:49:00.600 Network says fighters have been burning or burying bodies and 1998 01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:03.560 mass graves in an attempt to cover up killings. In 1999 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:07.119 the Darfur region, the RSF took over Al Fasher, the 2000 01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:10.079 capital of North dah Four two weeks ago, after driving 2001 01:49:10.079 --> 01:49:12.680 out the army. The UN says there are reports of 2002 01:49:12.760 --> 01:49:16.520 brutal attacks as people tried to flee the city. Well 2003 01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:20.359 for the latest Morgan joins us from Khartoum. Now and 2004 01:49:20.880 --> 01:49:24.159 these allegations of atrocities continue to get worse and worse, 2005 01:49:24.239 --> 01:49:27.279 and all of this while the fighting actually continues to 2006 01:49:27.279 --> 01:49:28.159 spread at the same time. 2007 01:49:28.239 --> 01:49:35.159 Hibit Yes, indeed, now, these allegations and accusations by the 2008 01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:36.279 Sudan's dotells. 2009 01:49:36.000 --> 01:49:37.199 Networks is not new. 2010 01:49:37.279 --> 01:49:40.000 We heard it from people who have been displaced from 2011 01:49:40.039 --> 01:49:43.119 the city of Fashier following the RSF takeover last month. 2012 01:49:43.600 --> 01:49:47.239 People saying that they saw the Rapid Support Forces opening 2013 01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:51.319 fire and discriminately accusing each and every person in the 2014 01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:53.880 city of Fawship of being affiliated to the army and 2015 01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:57.279 its allied forces. Those who survived said that the rs 2016 01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:01.039 HAVE did not differentiate between women, children, the elderly and 2017 01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:06.000 actual fighters, and that even members of the alliance that 2018 01:50:06.239 --> 01:50:09.560 is that the RSEF is part of, family, members of 2019 01:50:09.720 --> 01:50:13.199 the alliance, of members of the alliance that the RSF 2020 01:50:13.239 --> 01:50:16.960 is part of, have been killed in these indiscriminate attacks. Now, 2021 01:50:17.239 --> 01:50:19.840 the RSF of course has been accused, have been accused 2022 01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:24.239 of summary execution, mass killings, abductions, and those who we 2023 01:50:24.279 --> 01:50:27.000 spoke to said that the RSF kills people even in 2024 01:50:27.039 --> 01:50:30.199 their homes. Now that is where the RSEF took over 2025 01:50:30.279 --> 01:50:33.479 from the Sudanese Army. There is fighting going on elsewhere 2026 01:50:33.800 --> 01:50:36.520 in the town of Babanusa in West Krudufan, and the 2027 01:50:36.680 --> 01:50:40.840 RSF launch repeated attacks on the army base there. On 2028 01:50:41.600 --> 01:50:45.640 Sunday wave of attacks that apparently targeted the base with 2029 01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:49.279 the hopes of taking control of it after months of siege. 2030 01:50:49.600 --> 01:50:52.079 The Resistance Committee of Babanusa said that the city has 2031 01:50:52.119 --> 01:50:56.119 been displaced completely or entirely from its civilians, and that 2032 01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:59.600 the only remaining people there are the people that are 2033 01:50:59.720 --> 01:51:02.680 finn to the army and the soldiers of the Sudanese 2034 01:51:02.760 --> 01:51:05.439 Armed Forces. Now, of course there's also a concern of 2035 01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:08.199 fighting elsewhere and siege by the RSF elsewhere in the 2036 01:51:08.239 --> 01:51:10.840 cour Defan region, with the UN saying that as a 2037 01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:14.159 result of these siege the situation there is quite catastrophic. 2038 01:51:14.159 --> 01:51:17.600 The humanitarian situation there is very dire, with thousands and 2039 01:51:17.600 --> 01:51:20.119 thousands of people in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. 2040 01:51:20.560 --> 01:51:22.479 Hebert, thank you so much for all of that, Heimbert 2041 01:51:22.479 --> 01:51:24.479 Morgan for us in Khartoun. 2042 01:51:25.880 --> 01:51:30.119 Okay, So again, the situation in Sudan is not getting 2043 01:51:30.119 --> 01:51:33.119 any better, and the RSF is absolutely running a monk. 2044 01:51:33.479 --> 01:51:36.560 They are committing crimes against humanity as of this moment. 2045 01:51:37.439 --> 01:51:39.720 And as I've said before and as I will continue 2046 01:51:39.760 --> 01:51:42.720 to say, we will keep everybody informed as far as 2047 01:51:42.760 --> 01:51:43.239 that goes. 2048 01:51:43.439 --> 01:51:45.600 But I also think it's interesting to bring this up. 2049 01:51:45.840 --> 01:51:51.000 The UAE, yes we are talking about Dubai is the 2050 01:51:51.039 --> 01:51:53.560 main backer behind the Sudan war. 2051 01:51:54.039 --> 01:51:58.920 Intelligence officer tells Sky News in an exclusive interview with 2052 01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:03.239 an undisclosed in an undisclosed location, Sky News learns many 2053 01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:06.199 of the planes landing in South Darfur are allegedly bringing 2054 01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:10.800 weapons from the Middle East country, something its government vehemently denies. 2055 01:52:11.560 --> 01:52:16.600 The tribal militia turned paramilitary RSF in Sudan are known 2056 01:52:16.640 --> 01:52:20.399 to document their own war crimes, which is true. Videos 2057 01:52:20.439 --> 01:52:24.560 of their fighters lynching women, lashing emergency responders, and cheering 2058 01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:28.640 over dead bodies have circulated over online since the start 2059 01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:31.960 of the rsf's war with the Sudan Army in April 2060 01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:35.800 of twenty twenty three. One piece of evidence never really 2061 01:52:36.119 --> 01:52:40.319 revealed any of their violent videos is who's backing them 2062 01:52:40.359 --> 01:52:43.399 and why. In an exclusive interview with Sky News at 2063 01:52:43.439 --> 01:52:47.680 a location we cannot disclose, an RSF intelligence officer confirms 2064 01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:52.960 widespread allegations that the United Arab Immirates the UAE is 2065 01:52:53.039 --> 01:52:56.560 the rsf's main backer in a war that has created 2066 01:52:56.560 --> 01:53:00.680 the world's largest humanitarian crisis and force thirteen million people 2067 01:53:00.720 --> 01:53:01.720 to flee their homes. 2068 01:53:02.319 --> 01:53:05.800 In the beginning, it was the Russians, Wagner and the state. 2069 01:53:06.560 --> 01:53:09.520 Now they tell me it's the UAE supporting the RSF, 2070 01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:14.359 says Ahmed, using an alias to protect his identity. Originally 2071 01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:19.000 from North Darfur, Ahmad or Ahmed lives a double life 2072 01:53:19.039 --> 01:53:21.840 as a refugee in one of Sudan's neighboring countries while 2073 01:53:21.840 --> 01:53:24.560 staying connected to forces on the ground. This is a 2074 01:53:24.840 --> 01:53:28.439 direct quote from the anonymous source. Many of the planes 2075 01:53:28.560 --> 01:53:32.039 landing at Nayala in South Darfur are said to bring 2076 01:53:32.119 --> 01:53:41.159 weapons from the UAE and particularly through the amdraas Am 2077 01:53:41.399 --> 01:53:44.600 Daras I don't know how to pronounce that word airport 2078 01:53:44.680 --> 01:53:49.279 in Chad. It's a financial relationship no more. The RSF 2079 01:53:49.319 --> 01:53:53.760 controls areas with large gold mines. Darfour alone has more 2080 01:53:53.840 --> 01:53:57.680 than four or five gold mines. The UAE is a 2081 01:53:57.760 --> 01:54:03.920 gold trading hub. So essentially, this guy's claiming that the 2082 01:54:04.079 --> 01:54:10.359 UAE is exchanging weapons for slave mind gold out of 2083 01:54:10.359 --> 01:54:13.359 Sudan and that the RSF is giving them a way 2084 01:54:13.399 --> 01:54:15.680 better price than the Sudanese government. 2085 01:54:16.479 --> 01:54:17.960 So it would be in. 2086 01:54:17.920 --> 01:54:22.439 The UAE's best interest to support the quote unquote. 2087 01:54:22.239 --> 01:54:25.159 Freedom fighters or rebels or whatever they want to call themselves. 2088 01:54:26.159 --> 01:54:28.920 Let's see on the outskirts of North dar Force Coronoy Town, 2089 01:54:29.279 --> 01:54:33.079 we meet Joint Task Force Intelligence Commander Idris Ali. The 2090 01:54:33.159 --> 01:54:36.239 Joint Task Force forces are made up of former rebels 2091 01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:39.880 from across dar four that the military armed the RSF 2092 01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:44.000 to crush through mass ethnic violence in the early two thousands. 2093 01:54:44.560 --> 01:54:47.479 We talked about that when they were called the Janjaweed 2094 01:54:47.520 --> 01:54:49.520 and that was the genocide that was going on in Darfur. 2095 01:54:50.199 --> 01:54:53.960 Now they are armed by the state to fight the RSF. 2096 01:54:54.319 --> 01:54:57.359 Our patriotism does not allow us to surrender our right 2097 01:54:57.399 --> 01:54:59.279 to the Lamb means we have to fight until our 2098 01:54:59.359 --> 01:55:03.880 last breath, says Commander Ali. So anyway, I think it's 2099 01:55:03.880 --> 01:55:06.479 interesting to mention this as we are talking about how 2100 01:55:07.399 --> 01:55:10.479 Katar and the UAE are doing a lot to try 2101 01:55:10.479 --> 01:55:12.600 to change their image on the world stage. 2102 01:55:13.319 --> 01:55:16.079 There is also some reports that are acknowledging that. 2103 01:55:16.079 --> 01:55:22.199 The UAE is actually funding one of the biggest humanitarian 2104 01:55:22.640 --> 01:55:26.960 crisises on the planet to date in an attempt. 2105 01:55:26.640 --> 01:55:28.159 To get cheaper gold. 2106 01:55:29.319 --> 01:55:32.199 So just wanting to bring that up for everybody now 2107 01:55:32.560 --> 01:55:35.039 as we are rounding out this episode. I did want 2108 01:55:35.039 --> 01:55:37.479 to end this on a positive note, and I think 2109 01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:40.319 that this is a really awesome note to end this 2110 01:55:40.399 --> 01:55:43.199 episode of the Cage to Night. On one hundred and 2111 01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:46.399 three year old Rosie the Riveter to be honored with 2112 01:55:46.479 --> 01:55:49.760 a bronze statue at Royal Oak memorial. 2113 01:55:50.399 --> 01:55:51.840 Let's learn about this together. 2114 01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:55.720 They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but 2115 01:55:55.880 --> 01:55:59.520 in this case, this picture is worth decades of inspiration 2116 01:55:59.840 --> 01:56:03.920 for generations of working women.
