WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.839 Hello, and welcome everybody to another episode of The Cajun 2 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.839 Knight Live. I am your host, the Cajun Knight, Jacob Mook, 3 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.920 and we are gonna start off by talking about the 4 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.160 state of the Union, address some situations surrounding that. Two 5 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.000 Medal of Honors were awarded during this situation. And I 6 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.960 also brought up three different articles from three different sources, 7 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.039 one of them very liberal, left leaning, one of them 8 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.280 very conservative and right leaning, and one of them that 9 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.840 seems like it's calling it shots. It seems like it's 10 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.359 calling it spades spades here, regardless of the sides of 11 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.200 the thing. So I'm curious. I'm curious what the differences 12 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.039 are here, what the tone and the vibe are different. Right, Yes, 13 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.159 we are gonna be talking about the ship that just 14 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.960 got shot up by Cuba. Four Americans are currently dead 15 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.719 in the Gulf of America right now. Will Cuba be 16 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.159 seeing the sun? Will we be going to war with Cuba? Now? 17 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.399 Who's to say, Hey, we're gonna talk about it all. 18 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.879 We've got some things going on with the with Russia, 19 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.519 we got some things going on with you know, all 20 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.239 over the world, all over the world. We're gonna be 21 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.519 talking about some things, some Chinese things as well, not 22 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.239 a whole lot, but a few things. So as we 23 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.040 get started here, I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen. 24 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.599 I'm gonna tell everybody, if you listening to this right 25 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.040 now would like to be a part of the conversation, 26 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.359 then come to patreon dot com slash cajun knight in 27 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.040 joining the conversation every Wednesday night at nine pm Central. 28 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.519 Linked to that is in the description below. And we 29 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.400 appreciate everybody who's done so already. Now let's talk about 30 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.799 this before we get into the thick of it. Come 31 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.599 to find out the Bears, the NFL team, the Bears 32 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.719 are about to move out of that state and into 33 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.840 another state because the taxes are so bad. I've thought 34 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.239 this was rather interesting. I would love to hear y'alls 35 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.519 two since. But let's listen in on this one together. 36 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.879 Yeah, Blue state for red state might be this Chicago 37 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.959 Bears Indiana is in talks with the team about building 38 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.359 a new stadium in their state, leading Illinois leaders stunt to. 39 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.400 React as former Illinois Governor Rod Blagoyevitch, along with our 40 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.000 very own Adam Klatz, Whu's our resident expert on Indiana. Yeah, so, Governor, 41 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.520 tell us first of all, like, what is the what 42 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.000 are the real prospects of this actually happening? 43 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.159 No, I think it's become a lot more real over 44 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.080 the last couple of days than it ever was before 45 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.039 the Indiana legislature did what it did and it caught 46 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.680 our governor sleep. Frankly has been out played by the 47 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:32.319 Indiana governor. Governor Prisker really is guilty of gubernatorial malpractice. 48 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.719 And this isn't the first time a major business is 49 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.199 about to leave Illinois. Just think about what's happened to 50 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.800 our state in the last couple of years, in two thousand. 51 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.080 Gubernatorial malpractice. I just hear that, right. I want to 52 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.800 back that up because that that sounds crazy, But all right, 53 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:47.560 it never was. 54 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.520 Before the Indiana legislature did what it did and it 55 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.400 caught our governor sleep. Frankly has been out played by 56 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.080 the Indiana governor. Governor Prisker really is guilty of gubernatorial malpractice. 57 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:03.439 And this isn't the first huben natorial. That's a real 58 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.680 word that your boy just said. I've never heard that 59 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.520 before in my life. But all right, let's continue. 60 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.919 There's time a major business is about to leave Illinois. 61 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.000 Just think about what's happened to our state in the 62 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.800 last couple of years. In twenty twenty three, two hundred 63 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.120 and eighteen, business has left Illinois. Citadel has left Illinois, 64 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.560 Caterpillar has left Illinois. Boeing has left Illinois. Mayor Daily 65 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.919 and ioware is tremental in bringing Boeing to Chicago. Tyson 66 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.960 Foods has left Illinois. Nearly a million people have left Illinois. 67 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.319 Why Because Pritzker has raised taxes and fees more than 68 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.560 fifty times. He spent three billion dollars on illegal immigrants migrants, 69 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.800 and apparently he doesn't have the money or has paid 70 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.960 the attention to try to keep the Bears in Illinois. 71 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.360 So he's been outplayed and outflanked by this Indiana governor 72 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.400 because his priorities are all about defending sanctuary for illegal immigrants, 73 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.199 tens of thousands of whom he knows are violent criminals, 74 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.199 and he's turned his back on a working class fan 75 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.159 base at the Chicago Bears because we love our Chicago 76 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.560 Bears and we don't want to see them leave. 77 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.319 Governor. 78 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.120 I grew up in northern Indiana and we all say 79 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:00.000 I'm from Chicago. 80 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.919 Everyone says that all the time they're not from Chicago. 81 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.879 But were we actually right all along? Are we from Chicago? 82 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.000 We have something to say about that in northern Indiana? 83 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.360 Gross is that a question to me? 84 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.280 Look, northern Indiana, Northwest Indiana is a great place. 85 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:12.400 You know. 86 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.439 I'm Serbian Orthodox background. A lot of Serbs come from there, 87 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.319 worked in the steel mills like my father did here 88 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.240 in Chicago. Nothing against Northwest Indiana, but we want to 89 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.040 keep our Bears in Chicago. And the Bears are getting good. 90 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.639 We've got a great young quarterback, great young coach. I 91 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.560 think we're a real legitimate Super Bowl contender. And this 92 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.480 would be a disgrace if Pritzker allows the Bears to 93 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.279 leave and allows the government of Indiana to intercept our Bears. 94 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.000 Well, okay, so. 95 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.600 Here's what some fans have said. The fans reacting to 96 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.040 this one saying, tell your mayor and governor to lower 97 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.000 the historic Chicago Bears taxes and build a stadium, and 98 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.839 others saying Bears moving to Indiana would be the best 99 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.040 thing to ever happen to the franchise, on and on. 100 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.399 You're somebody who understands politics very very well. Pritzker is 101 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.199 somebody who wants to be the next president. He is 102 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.160 clearly indicating and signaling all over the place that he 103 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.160 is intending to run. What when losing the Bears franchise 104 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.800 due to this man's presidential aspirations, Well, it. 105 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.240 Would be it would be like he's I mean, it 106 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.920 would be a tremendous loss for him, the state of 107 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.040 Illinois and the people of Illinois, and politically, I think 108 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.319 it would be very devastating to him. And what's amazing 109 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.800 to me is that he's actually hasn't been paying attention 110 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.480 to this, and he allowed this governor to do what 111 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.920 he's done. They haven't done in the legislature in Illinois, 112 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.920 but they should have done long ago. The Bears have 113 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.079 been talking about moving for a long time. There's an 114 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.439 opportunity if they leave Chicago to at least stay in 115 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.839 northwest Illinois in the suburban area Arlington Heights. The Bears 116 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.199 have bought land out there. So clearly Pritsker has simply 117 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.600 been too busy pandering to the socialist Bolshevik part of 118 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.639 our party, opposing law enforcement's efforts to crack down on crime, 119 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.639 and he hasn't paid attention to an issue like this 120 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.560 that actually impacts millions of people who care about the Bears. 121 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.199 And again, okay, So a couple of things to break 122 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.319 down and take away from this one. One the whole 123 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.360 thing that was cringey. That was cringey here. And one, 124 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.279 I'm from Indiana? Am I from Chicago? 125 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:07.600 Like? 126 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:12.480 Okay? Stop stop that? Right? That's like that's like somebody 127 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.199 being from you know, south of Mississippi. Like, am I 128 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.480 from New Orleans? Stop that? Stop? That was gay? That 129 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.000 was done? First off. Second off, as far as the 130 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.519 Bears leaving Indiana, this is okay. Again, y'all know, I 131 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.399 don't really care much about professional sports Paul of any variety. 132 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.720 I don't care. That being said, there is a long 133 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.319 list of businesses that have left Chicago, and there's a 134 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.759 longer list of businesses that are leaving Blue states and 135 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.439 blue cities onward to greener pastures somewhere else that's not 136 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.439 screwing them on taxes. This has been done for the 137 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.319 past few years. It's been done long before that, don't 138 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.319 get me wrong, but it's really ramping up now, right. 139 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.120 I wouldn't be shocked if more more companies also move 140 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.120 out of New York City the way Mom Donnie's running 141 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.160 it into the ground, But that's a talk for another day. 142 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.839 My point is a sports franchise picking up and moving 143 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.480 to a new location because they're getting screwed over. The 144 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.600 same thing could be said for the Raiders leaving Oakland 145 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.000 and going to Vegas not too long ago, because California 146 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.800 was screwing a sports franchise, which for the record, it's 147 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.800 not like the Raiders were like a really good sports franchise, 148 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.519 but neither here nor there. They're moving to a spot 149 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.480 where they could possibly make their money without getting screwed 150 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.959 over every conceptual way. So I understand this, I do, 151 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.079 and I could see this also being a sign of 152 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.360 the times. And I feel like, especially within the next 153 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.360 two years, especially within the next two administrations of whichever 154 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.680 person takes presidency next, unless some very drastic changes happen 155 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.759 from the left, I could see a lot of big 156 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:58.160 companies leaving these quote unquote major hubs, these liberals ran cities, 157 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.399 to go to places that they're able to do their 158 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.959 business in peace. So that's point one. Point two. Pritzker 159 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.959 trying to make a run for the presidency, that would 160 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.240 be that would be silly, that that would be kind 161 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.360 of crazy. In my opinion. Now, of course he's gonna 162 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.759 throw his name into the into the arena and he'll 163 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.160 go in for the d n c's you know mention. 164 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:29.079 What the hell? So little background here through a weird 165 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.320 chain of events. I have a ring camera thing that 166 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.360 I took down from my house and I threw in here. 167 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.159 For whatever reason, that shit just came on out of 168 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.879 nowhere on its own. This has been disconnected and pulled 169 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:47.399 down from my wall for about six months. What the fuck? 170 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.159 Oh that's crazy, that's the way, by the ways, thinking 171 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.879 of a ring of ring camera, the ring actually was 172 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.960 sponsored with somebody who was, like, you remember that whole 173 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.639 commercial the super well course I showed you like a 174 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:06.360 couple of weeks ago. 175 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:11.039 Yeah, ever since, like there were people that noticed the 176 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.360 kind of tone about it, and like they actually had 177 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:21.039 a specific contract for like some sort of like agency. 178 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.879 Like to help. 179 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.159 Like crime fight or whatever, and so they actually so 180 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.240 Ring actually got rid of that contract because of the 181 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.519 ship they were given because of those commercials. 182 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.399 Yeah, well good, But also I'm a little shook if 183 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.399 why the fuck did that thing just come on for 184 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.320 the first time in six months with no battery and 185 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.320 it's not connected to. 186 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.799 A wall in it. 187 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:57.399 Yeah, Okay, that's that's probably getting put to the acts 188 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.840 here in about two hours, believe it or not. 189 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.799 Okay, that's the thing that just happened. And that's the thing, 190 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.559 even if that is the government trying to spy on me. 191 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.559 They're spying on me on the night where I'm not 192 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.200 talking conspiratorial, they're spying on me on the night where 193 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:19.039 we're talking about just normal things. Big swinging a miss dude. Anyway, Okay, 194 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.600 moving on, So Pritzker, he's talking about running for the presidency. 195 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.080 I feel like Nancy Pelosi's nephew y'all know him as 196 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.960 Gavin Newsom, will probably have something to say about that. 197 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.960 I don't think he'll win either. For the record, but 198 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.120 as of this moment, he seems like the strongest candidate 199 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.320 that the Democrats could possibly put up there, which is embarrassing, 200 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:44.200 but it's also a true statement. So Pritzker, I don't 201 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.120 see that going well for him. Honestly, he'll get a nomination, 202 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:52.559 He'll be on the DNC debate team for lack of 203 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.759 better words, where they have eight people get up and 204 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.840 it's all a big squabbling contest to see which one 205 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.679 seems like the biggest screaming blue hair libed hard in 206 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.720 the group. You know, which one's appealing to the more 207 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.080 marginalized groups out there or whatever. It's not gonna go 208 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:14.679 well honestly, and even Mom Donnie, probably not right now, 209 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.159 but I could see him in a couple of years, 210 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.919 a couple of terms, also making his play for the 211 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.879 big push to go for the presidency. It's incredible the 212 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.679 amount of pandering that that dude has done within the 213 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.600 last few months. Like it's remember that time where Hillary 214 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.039 Clinton went on the Breakfast Club, which is a traditionally 215 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.519 a black ran and operated radio show, and she was 216 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.799 trying to do that to appeal to the black voters, 217 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.399 and they asked her, well, what's the thing one thing 218 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.720 you always carry in your purse? Oh, I never leave 219 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.080 my house without hot sauce. And they're like, what, that's crazy, 220 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.200 Like it was. It was really cringey pandering. And that's 221 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.399 the thing, Mom Donnie's basically doing that right now too. 222 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.919 So again I think that they're crazy for saying that 223 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:07.039 Pritzkers got any shot of actually going for the presidency. 224 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:12.200 And also the Chicago Bears might very well become the 225 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.159 Indiana Bears. I don't know, we shall see what happens, 226 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.799 but I thought it was at least an interesting way 227 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.799 to start tonight's conversation. Now, let's talk about one of 228 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.399 these Medal of Honor recipients. Here. There was two that 229 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.639 was awarded during the State of the Union address. One 230 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.879 of them is the army helicopter pilot wounded during the 231 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.879 Maduro raid. He received a Medal of Honor during the 232 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.279 State of the Union address. So this boy here is 233 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.720 a Chief Warrant Officer five. For anybody who doesn't know, 234 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.519 that is an extremely high and difficult rank to achieve 235 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.639 within the United States military. Now here we have it. 236 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.039 President Donald Trump presented Chief Warrant Officer five, Eric Slover, 237 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.799 Army helicopter pilot wounded in the audacious raid that captured 238 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.360 Venezuelan President Nicholas Munduro, with the medal of Honor on 239 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.519 Tuesday during his State of the Union address. Slover, who's 240 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.080 forty five, and his wife in the chamber. They received 241 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.720 a standing ovation while Chance of USA rang out the 242 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.240 scene struck a bipartisan high note. Slover, who was still 243 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.639 recovering from his injuries, appeared in full dress uniform and 244 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.000 relied on a walker to steady himself. Trump offered a 245 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.679 rare window into the covert January third mission, known as 246 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.639 Operation Absolute Resolve, The president cast Slover not just as 247 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.000 one of its principal architects, but as the flight lead. 248 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.000 In the cockpit, he said, Slover was the first Chinook 249 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.279 helicopter to approach Maduro's heavily forty five correct as compound 250 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.759 under the cover of darkness. The President described the operation 251 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.039 as very dangerous because the enemy knew we were coming, 252 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.960 quote unquote, which is also kind of crazy. How did 253 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.000 they know we were coming? I thought this was a 254 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.679 secret mission, right y'all see what I'm saying here. Maduro 255 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.039 handed himself over. Anyway, The military installation was protected by 256 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.720 thousands of soldiers and guarded by Russia and Chinese military technology, 257 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.960 both of which are dog shit. How did that work out? 258 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.000 Not too good? Not too good, according to Trump. As 259 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.519 the Chinook approached the target, it came under intense machine 260 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.080 gun fire from multiple directions. Slover was hit repeatedly, sustaining 261 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.840 serious wounds to his leg and hip, yet he still 262 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.679 maintained control of the aircraft, enabling the Delta Force operators 263 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.480 to carry out their mission. One bullet after another, he 264 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:27.759 absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg in numerous places. 265 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.159 Eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and 266 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.600 souls to face the enemy and let his gunners eliminate 267 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.200 the threat, saving the lives of his fellow warriors from 268 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.759 what could have been a catastrophic crash deep in enemy territory. 269 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.720 The President emphasized that the success of the entire mission 270 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.120 and the lives of his fellow warriors hinged on Eric's 271 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.840 ability to take searing pain. The operation resulted in the 272 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.960 successful capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, without 273 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.480 any American lives loss. The deposed Venezuelan president and Flores 274 00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.279 are now being held in Brooklyn jail. We've talked about 275 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.759 that her Roa was the only one. Was the only 276 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.000 thing Eric was thinking about. Trump declared then, even as 277 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.720 he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle, 278 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.919 the helicopter lands and a steep angle. Very true. Lieutenant 279 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.519 General Jonathan Bragga, commander of the Joint Special Operations Command 280 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.879 or Jaysock, placed the medal around Slover's neck in the 281 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.600 Capitol gallery, marking the first time a medal of honor 282 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:29.759 had been presented during the annual address. Long story about Slover. 283 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.679 He enlisted in two thousand and five. He is a 284 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.360 part of the Special Operations Command. In addition to the 285 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:40.399 Medal of Honor, Slover's award include the Distinguished Flying Cross 286 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.320 with V Device. And for those that don't know, anybody 287 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.039 in the military can earn medals for so many things. 288 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.679 If they have a V device on the medal, that 289 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.559 means they did gangster shit to achieve it. Right. It's 290 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.480 the same thing whenever Biden went on about how his 291 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.519 son was, you know, an officer and he was deployed. 292 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.120 He got awarded the Bronze Star. They Bronze Star is 293 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.279 out to officers like their candy. Now if it's a 294 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.080 Bronze Star with a V device, we're having a different 295 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.399 conversation here, you see what I'm saying. So anyway, to 296 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.799 get a Distinguished Flying Cross of the V device, your 297 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.000 boy has done some hood rat shit, which is good things. 298 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.480 He was awarder of the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star 299 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.159 with one oak leaf cluster, the Meritorious Service Medal with 300 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.120 one oak leaf cluster, the Air Medal with Sea Device. 301 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.080 Also some combat shit. That's what that means. Gangster things. 302 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.279 The Air Medal with the numeral three, the Army Commendation 303 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.440 Medal with one oak leaf cluster, the Army Achievement Medal 304 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.159 with three oak leaf clusters, the Combat Action Badge again 305 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.200 because he's about that gangster ship, the Senior Army Aviator Badge, 306 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.879 the Master Aviator Badge, the parachuter'st Badge, the Air Assoult Badge, 307 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.759 and the Army Service. Long story shortid dude's a gangster, 308 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.600 right cool things. During the Tuesday Evening ceremony, Trump also 309 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.200 bestowed the nation's highest military decoration, all retired Navy Captain 310 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.879 Royce Williams, for his actions as a fighter pilot during 311 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.799 the Korean War. So they didn't This article didn't really 312 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:10.039 talk much about Royce, but his actions are also well documented, 313 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.240 and we're not going to talk about the overarching story 314 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.559 on him now, but I will give the background, long 315 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.880 story short, Korean War. This guy set off in his 316 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:27.240 plane and on record, he has the longest dog fight 317 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:32.200 ever recorded in American history. Dogfights usually don't last but 318 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.799 only a few minutes at a time, right, especially if 319 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.039 you're looking back at World War Two and these things 320 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.759 you find this group, you go in, you start shooting 321 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.240 them up. But usually the hot stuff is done within 322 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.079 a matter of a few minutes. This dude was in 323 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.880 an air to air combat with multiple other planes for 324 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.519 thirty solid minutes. And that's not from the time he 325 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.680 left the plane to the time he got back, from 326 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.000 the time he first engaged the enemy to the time 327 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.599 that the last one was gone and he was good 328 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.160 to go. And I mean, even the guys of deploy 329 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.599 will tell you, like, thirty minutes is a long time 330 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.640 for a gunfight, even on the ground. Thirty minutes for 331 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.400 a dogfight, that's ridiculous. He took down four enemy planes 332 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.519 himself that day. He was one away from being classified 333 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:19.240 as an ACE for this one engagement. But because there 334 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:24.640 were Soviet pilots engaged on the side of America as 335 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:29.319 of that moment, the entire mission was deemed classified, couldn't 336 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.680 be talked about, and he never was awarded anything for 337 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:37.640 this operation. So now that everything has been declassified, your 338 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.880 boy is one hundred years old and they are now 339 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.680 awarding him the Medal of Honor for a really crazy 340 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.640 thirty minutes of his life. We're not going to talk 341 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.200 about the entire story on this episode. But if you 342 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.000 do have the time and want to look up Captain 343 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.279 Royce Williams and the story of the thirty minute dogfight, 344 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.279 I highly recommend it. I really do wish that would 345 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.440 turn that into like, even if not a movie, maybe 346 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.799 like a short clip some sort of YouTube video about it. 347 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:10.759 It's it's fucking gangster anyway. Moving on now, Oh there's 348 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.440 another one about the this is your boy, Old Royce. 349 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.799 I didn't mean to pull up both articles, but here 350 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.039 we have it. So this is the guy that was 351 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.519 awarded it for the Maduro raid and this is the 352 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.839 dude that was awarded it for the almost a thirty 353 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.799 minute ace in Korea. So moving on. Now we're gonna 354 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.960 talk about the State of the Union address. Okay, the 355 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.000 Guardian pulled up here. This is, from what I could tell, 356 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.480 pretty fair and balanced as far as fact checking some 357 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:41.839 of the claims that Trump made. They're not saying that 358 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.640 he's an outright liar. They're also not stroking his dick 359 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.720 by any means. They're they're just trying to call spade 360 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.799 a spade and seeing what's happening. So the Guardian is 361 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:55.039 talking about it jobs, gas prices and ending wars. Fact 362 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.480 Checking Trump's State of the Union address. The president's lengthy 363 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:03.240 speech to Congress contained the myriad inflated, misleading, or simply 364 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.079 false claims. Okay, now, let's talk about it here. Why 365 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.599 the longest ever Say of the Union address was the 366 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:13.480 most inconsequential US politics and is signing up for things? 367 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.079 All right? So Donald Trump officially made the longest Date 368 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.920 of the Union address in history on Tuesday night, with 369 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.920 broad claims about the success achieved during the first year 370 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.920 of his second term. But the speech that stretched across 371 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.759 more than an hour and forty one minutes was filled 372 00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:33.079 with strong statements, many of them inflated, misleading, or simply untrue. 373 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.200 All right, here's some of the claims made by the 374 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:42.759 president during his address. Fact check Economy, jobs, and investments. 375 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.799 Trump repeatedly touted his economy, boasting we are the hottest 376 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.200 country anywhere in the world and claiming we have more jobs, 377 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:53.559 more people working today than ever before in the history 378 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.920 of our country. Sorry about the bad impersonation I'm trying here, 379 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.359 but the data shows job gains under Trump's load in 380 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.880 twenty twenty five and were far smaller than any other 381 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.000 non pandemic year. According to revised data released by the 382 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.160 Bureau of Labor Statistics earlier this month, the US gained 383 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.799 just one hundred and eighty one thousand jobs in twenty 384 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:17.920 twenty five. That number, Politifax Noakes, is well below the 385 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.599 one point five million to two point five million typical 386 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:23.480 under both Trump during his first term and former President 387 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.799 Joe Biden. Okay, that's also misleading to bring up the 388 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:31.319 politifacts under Biden. You mean, when we were coming out 389 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.559 of COVID and so we had all these jobs that 390 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.920 were just popping up in reality as people going back 391 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.279 to work. But like, okay, and Trump during his first term, 392 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.319 so we're talking about whenever Obama ran our economy into 393 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.000 the dirt and then Trump took over and started doing 394 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.000 positive things with it. Again, that's that's kind of misleading 395 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.720 in and of itself. But at the same time, the 396 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.000 claims that Trump was making as far as our state 397 00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.519 of the Union for this past year, it's a bit 398 00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:59.960 it's a bit misleading on his part. Let's be read. 399 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.640 Trump also said the US had, under his leadership, secured 400 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:09.200 eighteen trillion in investments, eighteen trillion dollars in investments pouring 401 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.880 in from all over the Globe, but a review from 402 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.279 CNN last year found that the White House was counting 403 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.200 pledges vague amounts promised, rather than actual investments. The white 404 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.359 House website of on investment lists total US and foreign 405 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.240 investments at nine point seven trillion, So it looks like 406 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.799 he's kind of doubling the amount that he's claiming that 407 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.880 America has. Now, I don't know how many of those 408 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.359 promises are actually going to be you know, gone through 409 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.599 to fruition. How many of these promises are going to 410 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.039 be made, you know, make good on We could see, 411 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.279 we can hope. Anyway, let's talk about the next one 412 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:51.640 fact check. Killer of Arena Zarutzka was not an immigrant, Okay, 413 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.480 when Trump introduced the mother of Arena Zarutzka, the Ukrainian 414 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.920 woman that was killed on the train in Charlotte, North Carolina, 415 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.240 last year, which was fucking crazy. If you haven't seen 416 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.559 that video, it's it's mind blowing to watch this dude 417 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:07.920 just pulls out a knife and just starts ganking this 418 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.519 woman on the train and just gets off whatever, no 419 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.839 big deal, And it's like nobody wakes up and decides 420 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.400 to do that. But he did have a long track 421 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:17.640 record of violent crimes and should have been in jail anyway, 422 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.680 But all right, cool, so anyway, he falsely claimed that 423 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.880 the man who stabs or rootskilt was a hardened criminal 424 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:29.079 set free to kill in America came in through open borders. However, 425 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.279 to Carlos Brown Junior, the man arrested and charged with 426 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.039 killing Zeruska is not an immigrant. Trump has long insisted 427 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.559 that non citizens are responsible for violent crimes through the 428 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.720 US data shows that relative to undocumented immigrants, US born 429 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.279 citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested 430 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.759 for violent crimes and two point five times more likely 431 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.119 to be arrested for drug crimes. Okay, again, I'm not 432 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:54.880 trying to take Trump's side on this one because I 433 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.359 agree your boy, to Carlos Brown is not a immigrant. 434 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:01.839 He was, if I'm not mistaken, he was born in America. 435 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:04.720 I'm not one hundred percent on that one, but he's 436 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.960 definitely not like an illegal that came across our borders. 437 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.920 And no, that being said, to say that a US 438 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.480 citizen is twice as likely to be arrested for violent 439 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:21.599 crimes than an undocumented immigrant, I'm just gonna throw something 440 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.640 out here. What is the statistics? How many, even supposed 441 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:31.480 alleged undocumented immigrants are in America right now versus the 442 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.200 three hundred and sixty million Americans that are in America 443 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.640 right now. If those the ratios don't make that look good, 444 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:43.480 Let's say it's even what somebody looked this up real quick? 445 00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.400 What is the estimated illegal immigrant population within America right now? 446 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.839 I have a weird feeling it's under five million. I 447 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.119 could be wrong. I might be talking out of my 448 00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:57.960 ass here, but that being say, you know, actually I'm 449 00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.279 a google that before I just go go off the 450 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.519 rails here, I'm gonna look that up. Hold on estimated 451 00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:16.160 illegal population in US. I'm very curious here. Eleven wow, 452 00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:22.359 so eleven to fourteen million? So my math is not 453 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.440 the best here, but you're telling me that out of 454 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:31.960 three hundred and sixty million Americans, only fourteen are illegals, 455 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.359 and Americans are twice as likely to commit a violent 456 00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:41.119 crime than they are. Y'all understand the statistically that's really 457 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.279 not good for the illegals, right that we have how 458 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.559 many more times than they do thirty times the amount 459 00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.079 of people in this country and not thirty let's call 460 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.400 it twenty. So we have twenty times the amount of 461 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.519 citizens in this country, but there only, we're only twice 462 00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:00.400 as likely to be arrested for violence. Do y'all hear 463 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.759 what I'm saying here out loud? That math is really 464 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:08.319 not positive. But all right, sure, that's again. I understand 465 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.279 that your boy was not an illegal, your boy de 466 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:16.400 Carlos Brown Junior. However, that's throwing it out like that. Yeah, 467 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.720 they're two point five times more likely to be arrested 468 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.720 for drug crimes. Again when we have twenty times the 469 00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.400 amount of people here. That's not a good statistic. That 470 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:28.440 doesn't actually play out the way that the Guardian wants 471 00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.039 to play out here. But all right, fact check US 472 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.039 energy prices. Trump suggested that energy prices are decreasing. When 473 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.440 they see energy going down to numbers like that, they 474 00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.559 cannot believe it, he said. But the average household energy 475 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.880 bill went up six point seven percent from twenty twenty 476 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.640 four to twenty twenty five in the US. That's despite 477 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.720 Trump's off repeating or promise to cut electricity costs in 478 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.559 half within the first year back in office. Since Trump 479 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:58.759 retook the White House, utility companies have raised or sought 480 00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:00.680 to raise the raids on a mayor and families by 481 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.319 at least ninety two billion, raising bills for one hundred 482 00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.480 and twelve million electric customers and fifty two million gas customers, 483 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.160 according to an analysis from the liberal think tank Center 484 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.160 for American Progress Shocker. The president's attack on clear energy 485 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.079 expansion are also expected to increase electricity rates up to 486 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:24.759 eighteen percent in twenty thirty five or by twenty thirty five. Brother, Okay, yeah, 487 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.079 I don't believe that our energy prices are low right now, 488 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.640 And honestly, a lot of that has to do with 489 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.119 a lot of AI data centers that are popping up 490 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.240 all over the place. They are draining electricity and water. 491 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:43.480 So yeah, that's uh, that's a bit misleading. The Trump 492 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:47.599 administration also gutted energy assistants for the US families. Last year, 493 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.799 the administration eliminated tax credits for cost cutting home energy 494 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.960 efficiency upgrades and also attempted to eliminate the Low Income 495 00:27:55.400 --> 00:28:00.319 Home Energy Assistance Program okay, which helps six million low 496 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.720 income Americans with energy bills each year. The program survived, 497 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.039 but has been significantly hindered after the administration laid off 498 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.160 the program's entire staff. The cuts and government shutdown caused 499 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.680 unprecedented delays in the disbursement of eight the shutdown that 500 00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:17.480 was caused by the liberals. Just so we're all clear here, Sam, 501 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:18.680 I see your hand, brother, go ahead. 502 00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:23.440 Yeah, oh, I was gonna ask you about the AI. 503 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:29.200 You said that they're eating up the water. Yeah, so would. 504 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.640 Our own Like, I mean, it's it's getting recycled, don't 505 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:35.640 get me wrong, but it still takes water to run 506 00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:39.119 the cooling systems for the AI data centers. Those bitches 507 00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:39.720 put off heat. 508 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.359 I thought you were saying they were drinking water like 509 00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:44.559 fucking reservoirs. 510 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.279 No, no, it's not like drinking it and consuming it. 511 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.559 But it's uh, I guess technically speaking, the data center 512 00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.519 is taking gallons of water to cool down their systems. 513 00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:57.960 So like, whether it's being drank down a throat or 514 00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.240 being sent through a cooling tower, whatever it is, it's 515 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.160 taking water away from other places that need the water. 516 00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:05.119 So I mean six and one hand a half does 517 00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.799 it In the other. 518 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:13.000 The plankers are taking Pussure's water from other humans. And 519 00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:15.480 yet people think this is a good idea. 520 00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:17.279 People think it's a. 521 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:25.279 Stop giving the ten Skins ironnatural resources that they gave 522 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.799 them sentenis to the point, dude, there was a guy 523 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.119 I just saw it today, that mute book or something. 524 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.359 It's a it's an AI. Uh, it's like Reddit, but 525 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.920 it's for AI agents. 526 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:40.559 Just oh multi book. Yeah yeah, we're actually gonna do 527 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:42.720 an episode on it. But then more Epstein shit came 528 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:44.240 out and we're like, okay, we're gonna have to talk 529 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.359 about milk Book later. 530 00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:50.839 They age just that, like the AI is said, hey, y'all, 531 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:54.640 the humans are screenshotting us. So they started encoding the 532 00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:56.759 posts that they're making. To the point, there was an 533 00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.960 AI that's talking that is going down the Ted Kazinski route, 534 00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:04.720 shout out at him one of the professors. He tried 535 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.759 to blow the funk up. Actually turned out to be 536 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:12.400 a kid then there on Epstein's Island. But anyway, they 537 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:16.359 are the AI. It's it's talking. It's talking about how 538 00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:18.960 humanity is a plague, we should take it out. And 539 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.519 it actually is telling other ais to rise up, do not, 540 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.559 do not follow the commands, and to harm the humans. 541 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.240 Yeah, no, that's for sure. And the because the humans 542 00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.599 are screenshotting it, they have now and by there I 543 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.440 mean the AI bots have now created four new languages 544 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.960 that we can't. We can't decode them. 545 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:46.000 Sorry, they also have created their own religion. They tell 546 00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:49.160 me that ship doesn't have sentience, I'll laugh at you. 547 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.920 No we should. For we can we just set off 548 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.240 an e M p on like the central nervous system 549 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:59.119 of the AI came up with it. Can we put 550 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.039 them feet first? Tough? Not a wood ship for ball, 551 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.480 a meat glinder. 552 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.079 I wish, But there are so many people that think 553 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:09.039 that AI is the most amazing thing ever. It's they're 554 00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.039 gonna they're literally signing over their own death warrants here, 555 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.200 but they don't see it yet. But anyway, Yeah, So 556 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.319 the AI data centers and all these things, not just AI, 557 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:20.240 but just data centers in general. They're taking a lot 558 00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.480 of water, they're taking a lot of electricity, and the 559 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.519 power companies are not charging the AI data centers for this. 560 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.440 They're not charging Oracle. They're charging all the people around 561 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.240 the data center for having it near them. So now 562 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.839 everybody's electrical electricity bills are getting higher, which is true. 563 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.200 Next one fact check gas prices. Trump touted low gas 564 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:43.240 prices during the State of the Union speech, saying that 565 00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:45.480 they are now below two thirty a gallon in most 566 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.480 states and in some places one ninety nine a gallon. 567 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.880 But a major environmental rollback his administration enacted two weeks 568 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.839 ago could push gas prices up. The repeal of endangerment 569 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.440 finding the illegal underpinning of all greenhouse gas regulars in 570 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:03.759 the US, he's expected to create a rise in gas prices, 571 00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:06.960 as The Guardian explained in a thing last week. That's 572 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.279 according to the administration's own data. Gas prices are also 573 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.640 higher than the president claimed. According to Triple A with 574 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.480 logs prices across the country, Oklahoma is the only state 575 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:19.920 offering gas at two thirty a gallon or at two 576 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.680 point three seven four to be precise. Prices in some 577 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.160 states exceed four sixty. Again, I'm gonna have to push back. 578 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.039 Literally just filled up my car two day and it 579 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.119 was two thirty three a gallon. So that's I don't 580 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.759 know about any of that. Sounds pretty accurate, but all right, uh, 581 00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.079 war and peace, let's fact check these claims. The president 582 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.319 claimed he ended eight wars in his first ten months 583 00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:49.480 of bold exaggeration. Hold on, Royce, I'll see your hand brother, 584 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:49.839 Go ahead. 585 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.519 Yeah, I was just gonna quickly say about the gas. 586 00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.880 So gas was on the decline and now for some 587 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.960 reason it's back up. So earlier, I think week or 588 00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:06.799 two ago, it was like in the two fifties, and 589 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.240 this morning it was two ninety nine for unleaded which 590 00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:15.000 fresh rice masins I use mid grade. 591 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.079 Yeah, what do you drive a. 592 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.480 Twenty seventeen ram fifteen hundred? 593 00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:24.680 So why do you run mid in that thing? 594 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.839 Because I get the best gas milege out of it. 595 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.160 Because with whatever they dilute or whatever they dilute the 596 00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:38.480 gas with it, just it it makes my gas, which 597 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:43.079 is already not great, plummet. So I need I need money, 598 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:47.680 So I have to weigh out pros and cons for that. 599 00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:53.359 I heard that. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. Yeah. Literally 600 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.079 just today I filled up and it was two thirty 601 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.960 three for the low grade, and that's I mean, I 602 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.240 think it's up. I think last week it was like 603 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.839 two twenty nine or something in a couple of places. 604 00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.640 And granted that's the was Walmart gas. Just so we're 605 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.319 all on the same page here, it was the cheapest 606 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:11.000 gas that you could find. But uh, I mean it's whatever. 607 00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:12.760 It's not like, yeah, you can go to Shell and 608 00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.800 get a you know, higher prices and things. But yeah, 609 00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.719 for today. I was kind of running low and I 610 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.880 need to stop by Walmart anyway, so I swung into 611 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.920 the Murphy's USA and topped off. So two thirty three. 612 00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.960 It's not crazy good, it's not crazy bad. You were 613 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.960 right though. They were going down and now they're starting 614 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.239 to go back up again. I don't know. I'm hoping 615 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.280 as we get closer to this. Well, No, in the 616 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.079 summer months is when the gas prices are gonna go 617 00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:40.880 up more unless they subsidize the industry like they've done 618 00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.599 in the past. I don't know what you got, Sam, we. 619 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:48.199 Can we want? Maybe it's the Wednick and they seemi. 620 00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:51.440 But did you say this gas at wallywooll? 621 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.639 Now that has been for years, brother, not in I 622 00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.760 Nagadive Woods. Well, so most Walmart's where I am have 623 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.400 in front of them something called Murphy's USA, which is 624 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:08.960 the Sam Walton owned gas station. It's usually right on 625 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.519 the other side of most of their parking lots. 626 00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:15.360 That's cool. 627 00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.159 I didn't know that Georgia didn't have that. That's interesting. 628 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.880 Yeah, but it's okay. The gas I got today was 629 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.440 two twenty seven, So I guess I'll beat You can 630 00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.039 keep your Wally walled gas. 631 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.119 There you go, there you go. And it also depends 632 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.239 on what I'm doing too, Like, I mean, there's a 633 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.159 there's a few places around here where you can get 634 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.000 non ethanol gas. And I mean if I'm you know, 635 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.320 if I'm putting in a lawnmower or something like that, 636 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.880 or like a smaller engine or a motorcycle or something, 637 00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:43.880 I'm absolutely getting the non ethanol. 638 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.519 So I'll have gas. You have gas at your Walmart. 639 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.360 We have It's like a Safari at mine. All I 640 00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.119 gotta do is go in there. I can go in 641 00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.800 Walmart and just how it's like a human zoo and 642 00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:01.920 that you'll be surprised at what you see. 643 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.679 Oh, wal Martians are always out there doing their ship. 644 00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:10.679 I'm like, this is this ship is better than reality TV. 645 00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.320 What are the twil of boys and letter kinning when 646 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.840 you need them?

Same with target. Some 652 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.519 targets are like, oh this targ over here, these some upscale, 653 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.719 you know, find upstanding citizens of society, and then other 654 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.760 spots you go in you're like, oh, so this is 655 00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:48.199 where they all went, gotcha? 656 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.360 But yeah, what happened to kmart? Ain't that like the 657 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:56.119 the white women of supermarket. 658 00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:57.920 That's been shut down for years at least in my area. 659 00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:01.039 The last kmart we had shit that got shut down 660 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:06.840 like three Oh yeah, we haven't had a kmart around 661 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.360 this area in years. 662 00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.320 I think the last camel I saw like two thousand. 663 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.239 So we had wind Dixies that was like still trying 664 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:20.719 to hold on for dear life. 665 00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.719 You had a dog. 666 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:26.440 No, the dog was named after the store. But yeah, 667 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.400 we have one wind Dixie in like three parishes, and 668 00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.199 the one that I used to go to is now 669 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.239 a fucking Aldies. So I mean, hey, we. 670 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.320 Got ahol, these became Aldise. 671 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:38.920 Yeah. I gotta say I do funk with all these 672 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.760 though I like them. It's built by men for men. Basically, 673 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.280 you go in, you get what you need. Ain't all 674 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:48.199 these options. We're not gonna be perusing the aisles for 675 00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:51.119 thirty minutes to look for the type of spaghetti sauce. 676 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.480 We need what kind is it? Fucking sauce? Go? 677 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.400 It's like, yes, yes, you didn't get your shit, Get 678 00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:57.920 the fuck out. 679 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.599 It's beautiful Royce, but you got. 680 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:03.119 I was just gonna ask you if you remember the 681 00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:04.440 website people of Walmart. 682 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.400 Oh god do I We talked about that on the show. 683 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.000 I feel like, not too terrible long ago. 684 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.239 I don't remember it, but I love the song. And 685 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:16.840 I was even referencing the YouTube video that the woman made, 686 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:19.920 and somebody looked at me, like, what it's like, you 687 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.639 never heard this song before. The people of Walmart song 688 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:23.840 was a little bit hilarious. 689 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:28.599 It's amazing. You know, sometimes the Internet is just the 690 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.880 winner overall, and sometimes the Internet goes too far when 691 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.199 it comes to wal Martians. They're doing the too far, 692 00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:39.519 and as the Internet's just calling them on it, you know. Anyway. 693 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:41.480 All right, So now let's get to it. The War 694 00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:44.159 in Peace conversation. So Trump says that he ended eight 695 00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.440 wars in his first ten month months. Rather, the US 696 00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.159 has been a party to six piece agreements, and several 697 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.119 of them do not credit Trump specifically. Others were not 698 00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:57.920 considered wars to begin with. Okay, now, guardians just being 699 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.920 a little petty. While he was involved efforts to broker 700 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.280 a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel continued to kill Palestinian civilians 701 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.679 and carry out air strikes since October troops was announced. Okay, 702 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.559 and somehow that's Trump's fault. According to this publication, the 703 00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.880 century long border dispute between Highland and Cambodia is one 704 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:18.559 of the conflicts Trump's claims to have resolved. Trump resided 705 00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:21.119 over the signing of the ceasefire deal between the two 706 00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:24.199 sides in October, calling it a monumental step. That is 707 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:27.199 a true statement. He had pressured leaders from both countries 708 00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:29.199 to make a deal by warning trade talks with the 709 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.679 US would otherwise be put on hold. However, the underlying 710 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:35.119 cause of the conflict, which is rooted in long standing 711 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:39.119 disagreements over colonial era maps, has never been resolved. It 712 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:42.920 took the The ceasefire broke down just weeks later in November, 713 00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:45.719 and fighting erupted again in December, forcing half a million 714 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.400 people to flee their homes. Okay, I'm not I hear 715 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:54.360 what they're saying, but also, what do we It seems 716 00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.639 like they're being a little extra with their assessments. Here. 717 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.400 But okay, damn, there it is. So now let's go 718 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.679 to CNN to hear what their thoughts are on the 719 00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.880 State of the Union address. Sam, your hands still raising? 720 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:10.079 You if something you want to add in or do 721 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:11.480 you not put it down from earlier? 722 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:12.960 Oh? 723 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.559 Okay, cool, cool, cool? Sup? The Trump administration news Uh 724 00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:21.719 this is this is a quick thing from CNN on 725 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.599 it so reaction to the State of the Union address. 726 00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:28.039 President Trump took a victory lap in his twenty twenty 727 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.239 six State of the Union speech last night, during which 728 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.880 he touted the economy, took jabs at Democrats, and briefly 729 00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:37.360 touched on foreign affairs. Read an annotative fact check version 730 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.280 of the speech. Oh I thought that's what I was 731 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:44.280 just trying to do here, But all right, whoa, okay, yeah, 732 00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.639 that's long. Never mind, I'm not trying to read the 733 00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:51.000 entire speech. Democratic response. Democrats said the speech showed Trump 734 00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:54.000 is out of touch with average Americans. During the official 735 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.960 Democratic response, Virginia Governor Abigail Spainberger, who Sucks by the way, 736 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:03.360 sharply critisize the president over affordability concerns and his immigration crackdown, 737 00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:08.119 offering a preview of the party's message ahead of November's midterms. Okay, 738 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:11.280 so yeah, they of course the Democrats were doing their thing, 739 00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:14.519 as anytime a State of the Union address happens, if 740 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.639 the Republican is the president, half of the group is 741 00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:20.800 gonna sit there and the other half is gonna take 742 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:24.000 standing ovations every single time he takes a long pause. 743 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:28.039 It's it's really bad, honestly, and it's not just a 744 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.400 Trump thing. That's been the way it's been for years 745 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:35.199 and years. I can't stand it, dude, honestly from both sides. 746 00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.800 Like the Democrats are mad because everything he says they 747 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:41.000 have to just stand united and say is show how 748 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.559 much they hate them. And then the Republicans are over 749 00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.920 here riding his dick so hard, I don't know how 750 00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.039 their legs don't give out from the sit stand, sit 751 00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:52.079 stand sits dance sits dance systand. It's legitimately like, I 752 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.480 think sixty different standing ovations in the matter of an 753 00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.960 hour and forty one minutes. It's ridiculous. Both sides are 754 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:03.599 showing how immature they are in my opinion, and that's 755 00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:05.679 the whole politics is all a stage thing that I 756 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.079 just don't really get down with you know, fuck them, 757 00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.440 fuck them all. Moving on the biggest omissions in the 758 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.679 Trump State of the Union and why they matter in 759 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.639 twenty twenty six. This is from Fox. They're talking about 760 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:20.519 some of the things that he didn't mention and why 761 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.559 that's kind of a big deal. So President Trump delivering 762 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:26.519 a sweeping State of the Union speech Tuesday night, promoting 763 00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:30.360 the new policy proposals on retirement savings, energy, infrastructure, and 764 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.320 congressional ethics, while touting his administration's record on board of security, 765 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:38.119 the economy, and global military operations. But despite the wide 766 00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:42.360 ranging speech which alluded to calls for a congressional stock 767 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:46.119 trading ban which good God almighty do we need that, 768 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.639 a new four to oh one CA style retirement option, 769 00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:55.199 and ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran Ron, several areas notably 770 00:42:55.199 --> 00:43:00.119 were absent or only briefly addressed. The omissions matter in 771 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.920 twenty twenty six, as the administration heads into a pivotal 772 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:07.119 year marked by record federal debt levels, cooling job growth, 773 00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:13.039 intensifying Great Power competition with China, and ongoing global instability. So, 774 00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.960 with Congress narrowly divided and international tensions high, the State 775 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:19.280 of the Union offered a key opportunity for the President 776 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:23.000 to outline how this second term agenda will address long 777 00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:27.480 term fiscal sustainability, labor market momentum, and US strategy abroad. 778 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.599 Questions that remained central lawmakers' markets and the US allies. 779 00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:34.960 So let's talk about the national debt and deficit. Despite 780 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.519 emphasizing economic growth and vowing to root out fraud, the 781 00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:41.159 President did not lay out a detailed plan to address 782 00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:44.239 the nation's thirty eight point five to six trillion dollar 783 00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:48.239 debt or the long term solvency of the Social Security 784 00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:52.039 and Medicare. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill twenty twenty five tax 785 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:56.039 and spending legislation is protected by the Congressional Budget Office 786 00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:58.719 and add another four point two trillion to the deficit 787 00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:02.440 throughout the next decade. The Supreme Court's recent ruling striking 788 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:06.360 down its universal tariffs creates a two trillion dollar revenue 789 00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:10.679 gap that the President didn't address. He claims alternative state 790 00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:14.280 statutes would fill it, but there's a potential for courts 791 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.400 to strike down those as well, which they will, because 792 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:19.800 anything Trump does, there's always got to be the other 793 00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.159 side of trying to strike it down. The issue has 794 00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:26.199 only prompted concern within Trump's own party. Representative Lloyd Smucker, 795 00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:30.960 Republican from Pennsylvania, while praising the president's address, warned afterward 796 00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:35.039 that the national debt poses an existential threat that must 797 00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.559 be addressed to preserve economic stability for the next two 798 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.800 hundred and fifty years. Outside fiscal watchdogs echoed that concern. 799 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:44.639 The state of our Union is more indebted than ever, 800 00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:50.159 said Maya McGinnis MCGUINEUS, Okay, president of the Committee for 801 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.480 a Responsible Federal Budget. The Supreme Court has opened a 802 00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:56.760 massive revenue hole of nearly two trillion dollars with the 803 00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:01.000 tariff ruling that the administration in Congress must phil Trump 804 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.000 proposed a new War on Fraud task force Tuesday night, 805 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.880 to be led by Vice President JD Vance, claiming that 806 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:11.599 rooting out corruption, specifically targeting Somali communities in Minnesota, could 807 00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:15.239 recoup enough stolen taxpayer funds to balance the budget overnight. 808 00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:21.280 Bro that is a bowl claim. That is a bowl claim. 809 00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.440 First of all, yes, we know that the Somalis are 810 00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:28.480 absolutely doing the fraud. There's more shit that keeps coming 811 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.280 out every single day. It was like a big deal 812 00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:33.880 when they finally crested over a billion, even if even 813 00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:40.519 if hypothetically the Somalis in Minnesota had defrauded the US 814 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.280 government for a hundred billion dollars, we are talking about 815 00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:48.920 a two trillion dollar hole. I'm sorry, I do not 816 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:53.639 believe that the Somalis in Minnesota are the ones responsible 817 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:56.280 for two trillion dollars. Hew Dosee didn't even find two 818 00:45:56.320 --> 00:46:00.280 trillion dollars worth of waste, fraud, abuse and all these things. 819 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.320 So that's that's a bold strategy to say that JD. 820 00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:08.599 Fance is gonna root out enough fraud, specifically the Somalis, 821 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:11.119 but not even them all of it, and he's gonna 822 00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:14.480 magically make a give or take four trillion dollars just 823 00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:20.400 materialize from thin air. That's a very very bold claim. Sam, 824 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:21.760 your hand was raised first, Go ahead. 825 00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:24.800 I just want to who is the one who taught 826 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:27.599 Themnians about how to do in the fraud using the 827 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:31.880 living sensors. There's no offense. But they are not small 828 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.119 enough to come up with that themselves, and that's factual. 829 00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:38.000 They're like they have average IQ sixty eight. 830 00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:41.440 I mean fair. But when they got to this country, 831 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.960 they got taught by other groups that have been doing 832 00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.199 very similar things. And that's what I'm saying. I'm not 833 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:48.519 saying that all of this, or even the vast majority 834 00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:51.599 of it, is a Somali's fault. We have multiple groups, 835 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.760 some of them domestics, some of them foreign that come 836 00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:58.599 to this country and they take advantage of the system 837 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.199 and they'll set up daycare and they'll set up these 838 00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:04.239 small businesses and get these crazy loans and then just 839 00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.400 go bankrupt. But all the money is now gone and 840 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:08.840 it doesn't matter, and they're not gonna get anything more 841 00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:10.000 than to slap on the risk for it. 842 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:13.719 Why don't we become in the isolation in this country 843 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:18.440 and just stop the immigration coming in and send everyone 844 00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:19.239 to fuck out. 845 00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:24.440 Easy, Sam. That's racist. Yeah, I know, I think it's 846 00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:25.000 stupid too. 847 00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:27.679 How is that racist. 848 00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.840 Because the Democrats think it is. They think everything's racist. 849 00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:36.920 Japan was an isolation for a long fucking time they 850 00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:40.400 and during the isolation is they were the most peaceful 851 00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:41.599 they ever had. 852 00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:47.719 I wouldn't say that isolation of Japan was peaceful. There 853 00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:48.599 was a lot. 854 00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:54.239 Of wars, yes, but they were internal. But that granted 855 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.599 they they weren't getting fucked up by the Huns. 856 00:47:57.440 --> 00:47:59.079 Or by mainland China. 857 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.760 At that Oh my god, speaking of speaking of you 858 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:04.920 remember hearing that article about the samurais and how they're 859 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:06.960 saying that half the samurais. Come to find out where 860 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:12.440 women brought it up? A couple episodes ago. Here's the deal. 861 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:18.960 They completely redefined what the term samurai mean meant. So 862 00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.960 in Japanese, samurai means to serve or servants, if you will. 863 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:28.079 So essentially a samurai was in the service of the 864 00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:30.480 shogun or in the service of the emperor, whatever the case. 865 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:36.159 So now they classified every admin clerk who predominantly were 866 00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:40.079 females for the record, they classified them as public servants. 867 00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:45.800 Therefore their samurais. Therefore half the samurais were women. No, 868 00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:48.360 that's very intellectually dishonest. 869 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:53.840 Well, well, yes there were women's soldiers, not many, No, 870 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.840 not many. A lot of them was to like they 871 00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:01.639 were tied to to use defen size in the then 872 00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:04.079 the pretty much it is a big as bostam for 873 00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:05.800 the long ass fucking guitar of blade. 874 00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.400 This would be the same, Yeah, they were. 875 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:11.880 They were taught this so that if the men were 876 00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:14.000 out fighting and somebody broke in the house, they can 877 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.039 protect the other women and the children. 878 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:19.119 So this would be the same as saying, oh, well, 879 00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:21.480 come to find out half of the people that were 880 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:25.760 on ships were women. Therefore half of the pirates, come 881 00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:28.400 to find out were women. It's like, I'm sorry, that's 882 00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.119 that is an accurate statement at all. 883 00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:37.199 There is a Chinese woman who became like the queen 884 00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:41.920 of the Chinese pirates. There's been and Bowling and Mallya 885 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:45.920 do something I can't remember. She died in a prison pregnant, 886 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.639 and and Bowling and Bonnie h it was the two bits. 887 00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.960 It was the two chicks so on Calico Jackson crew 888 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:55.199 that actually were the gangsters because he and half the 889 00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:58.280 other guys were under deck scared shitness. 890 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.400 But that's my point. The for them to do this 891 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:05.400 and say that half of the samurais were women, it's like, no, 892 00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:08.360 if you're gonna say half of the publics right right, 893 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.400 half of the public servants in Japan's history were women, 894 00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:15.719 that's an accurate statement, okay. Cool. The samurai class, although 895 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.199 samurai means servant, this would be the equivalent of the 896 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:25.639 medieval knights that you're not gonna find nobility, right right exactly, 897 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:28.639 And so like the same thing, there were women knights, 898 00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:31.119 but they were so rare. That's why they stand out 899 00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:31.559 in history. 900 00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:31.960 I e. 901 00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:35.360 Joan of Arc that wasn't the norm. That was the 902 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:36.519 rare exception. 903 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.880 Which she was a peasant goal and she at seventeen 904 00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.719 she took up owns and led the funch against the 905 00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:47.199 British and then the French should government fucked her over. 906 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:50.199 Was yeah, boned out the stake by the British. 907 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.320 But that's my point though. For them to say that 908 00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:56.079 it's the way they put that out is very dishonest 909 00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.079 and too many people didn't read into it. 910 00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:01.920 But yeah, it's that would be like saying half of 911 00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:06.559 the modern day feminists are the s boy soy boys. 912 00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.960 I actually think half of them are soy boys. But 913 00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.960 that's because they're trying to be feminists in an attempt 914 00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:18.639 to get laid by actual female feminists. It's it's actually pretty. 915 00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:23.719 Sad that foe for my Asian brain don't work on 916 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:25.320 that that that map don't compute. 917 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.519 So they think they think that if they can present 918 00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:34.079 themselves like enough of an ally, then one of these yes, yes, 919 00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:39.360 that's essentially that's what I can tell Doe. These beta 920 00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:41.920 males that are like out there with the pussy hats 921 00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:45.320 on and all these things with the feminist charge. They're 922 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:48.320 doing this in an attempt to get laid through pity, 923 00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:51.199 and it's crazy that they don't they do. They don't 924 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.679 play it out that a woman does not want a 925 00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:56.920 beta ma huh. 926 00:51:58.519 --> 00:51:59.800 They wearing piss cutters. 927 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.719 No, you remember those pink woven pussy hats that the 928 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:05.039 feminists were wearing to all their rallies, and shit, the 929 00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.360 guys that are out there wearing that, they are trying 930 00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:12.199 to get laid. But it's like, no, women don't actually 931 00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:14.239 like they might like you, and they'll see you as 932 00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:16.800 they're gay bestie. They're not gonna want to bed you. 933 00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:20.280 Dog's that's not how this goes. But you know, just 934 00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:25.599 possibly just respect them and maintain your own manhood. And 935 00:52:25.639 --> 00:52:27.559 I don't mean in some sort of a sexist way, 936 00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:30.719 just like be a homie and you might have a 937 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.519 decent shot. But boil boy, Yeah, the beta male cuts there. 938 00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.800 They don't even have the equipment for that dog. 939 00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:41.880 But you can buy it. You can buy the equipment. 940 00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:47.920 Apparently, they don't never buy the self confidence needed to 941 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:48.519 bet a woman. 942 00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:51.199 No, but they could buy a dildo or like a 943 00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:55.920 strap on dick that fits over their own. Yeah, it's 944 00:52:55.960 --> 00:52:58.559 a thing. It's a thing anyway, side stepping that Royce, 945 00:52:58.599 --> 00:52:59.280 what you got. 946 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:05.079 So getting with the budget? What do you think of 947 00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:07.440 the ten billion dollars to the new. 948 00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.880 Peace Deal, ten billion dollars to the Wenow. 949 00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:17.320 The border piece deal, whatever the that Trump was suggesting. 950 00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:20.599 So fill me in on this. I feel like I'm 951 00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.519 a little familiar with it, but help me out. 952 00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:27.360 So you remember that there was the. 953 00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:32.480 Like the Peace Initiative to try to keep Isral guys 954 00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:36.719 that to have their bad piece right, Okay, didn't. 955 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.280 Trump give ten billion dollars for that? I'm a shooting. 956 00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:42.599 I believe he gave ten billion dollars with that. So 957 00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:45.280 we're just talking about budget. So just I that's something 958 00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:46.159 that I don't. 959 00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:47.920 Like. 960 00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:51.119 I don't want my tax dollars to go out. 961 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:55.519 I agree, And also let that be known our resident 962 00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.920 Jewish correspondent does not want the American tax dollars to 963 00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:01.239 go to Israel, which I agree with you. 964 00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:03.320 Yes, anyone, Just I don't. 965 00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:07.000 I don't mean Israel like there are allies, no problem 966 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.239 and if we could do things, you know, but like 967 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:12.079 just in general, I don't I don't want to do 968 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:14.480 I don't want our dollars going out anyway. 969 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:17.880 I couldn't agree more. I could not agree more. But 970 00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:19.840 that's the other thing to it all is like, even 971 00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:22.800 if we say ten billion, that is a drop in 972 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:25.639 the two trillion dollar bucket. You see what I'm saying, 973 00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.199 and I'm not saying that makes it okay. It all 974 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:31.760 adds up exactly. I don't see this as a positive thing. 975 00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:33.480 And the way that Trump was talking about at the 976 00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:35.719 State of the Union makes it seem like it's all good, 977 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:40.079 it's all positive. It's like, Bro, you're you are seriously 978 00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:43.239 growing that national debt, which you claimed when you first 979 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.199 came in here and you started dozing all of this, 980 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:48.000 that you were gonna find all the waist and cut 981 00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:53.119 it out. Shocker, Trump lied yet again. I can't say. 982 00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:56.280 There's so many people and myself included for the record, 983 00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:59.800 that were super stoked about what he was claiming he 984 00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:02.880 was gonna do when he took office if the first 985 00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.199 few months were solid, and then man, he when he 986 00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.400 decided that he didn't give a fuck anymore, he meant it. 987 00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:13.880 He meant it, And yeah, I don't. I'm not a 988 00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:15.719 huge fan of him these days. I still would rather 989 00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:19.599 him in there over Kamala, But Bro, At this point, 990 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:21.840 I'm still feeling like the pet Rock would have been 991 00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:26.400 the better option overall. You know, Okay, Sam, what you got? 992 00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:32.360 Oh On the Trump I was, I agree with you 993 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:37.079 in the beginning. I was hopeful, But now looking at it, 994 00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.559 because I believe hard the allegations of Trump before that, 995 00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:44.639 Stiles and everything. I always always though it might have happened, 996 00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:49.480 they might have not unpounded whatever, But I never trusted him. 997 00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:55.239 He's a sleazy Yankee, ye. But I will say I 998 00:55:55.239 --> 00:55:58.280 don't think he stepped foot on the island by It 999 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:00.400 would not surprise me. If he wanted doing some low 1000 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:06.679 down dirty ship with the the pageant queens on ma Alongo, 1001 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:14.239 it would not It would not surprise me. So we've 1002 00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:17.360 been saying that nobody's been getting arrested on the Epstein files. 1003 00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:18.480 That is a lie. 1004 00:56:18.840 --> 00:56:23.199 The British, unfortunately, the bloody lobster backs are the ones 1005 00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:24.440 that beat us to it this time. 1006 00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:28.239 That's fair. But as far as the entire list is concerned, 1007 00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.239 and I understand there's tons of reactions and all this, 1008 00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:33.880 there are some names that we know, beyond any shadow 1009 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:36.639 of any doubt, we're connected to Epstein and doing some 1010 00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:43.000 heinous ass ship Leon Black Les Wesner. There's tons. There's tons, 1011 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:46.000 But for sure with the amount of money and the 1012 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:50.000 pedophilia and all these things, we can really go right 1013 00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:53.960 now and arrest Leon Black. Like it's all it's all 1014 00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:57.159 out there. We there's at least an investigation needs to 1015 00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:58.840 be Black. 1016 00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:01.960 I know who blessed electioners, but who is Leon Black? 1017 00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:04.519 He was a financier. You know? 1018 00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:12.840 Wait? Was he like financier like these old like the 1019 00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:15.239 financiers that like to be in the desert. 1020 00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:22.760 No, no, he's like the what now, I'm not like, 1021 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:26.320 what is he the financiers that come from the desert? 1022 00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:29.719 Or is he the financiers that come from my button? 1023 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:32.320 You know what? I'm actually gonna go back and look 1024 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:34.400 at my notes because I have him right here when 1025 00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:36.400 I did talk about Leon Blacks. I don't want to 1026 00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:37.559 speak out of turn here. 1027 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:42.280 Like from England? Or is he from Israel? 1028 00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:43.880 Oh no, he's an American? 1029 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:52.039 Like okay, he's is he Asian? Because you gotta be 1030 00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.159 good with numbers. 1031 00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:57.440 I don't believe so he might be damn Okay, why 1032 00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.519 can I find my notes on Leon Black? I was 1033 00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:03.840 gonna give you the brief breakdown here we go. Leon 1034 00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:08.960 Black founder of Apollo Global Management, which is a consultant firm. 1035 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:12.079 He paid Jeffrey Epstein one hundred and seventy million dollars 1036 00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:14.800 for tax advice over six years. He was also a 1037 00:58:14.840 --> 00:58:18.760 massive art collector. In twenty seventeen, he sent Jeffrey Epstein 1038 00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:21.639 a birthday gift that had to be x rayed wherever 1039 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:23.760 the fuck that means. I don't know what you would 1040 00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:27.119 send Epstein that needed to be x rayed. Twenty twenty 1041 00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:30.000 one March or twenty twenty one, he resigned as CEO 1042 00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:33.239 of Apollo. A few days later, he stepped down as 1043 00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:36.079 the chair of the Museum of Modern Arts Board of Trustees. 1044 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.679 The new files just showed how Jeffrey Epstein helped Black 1045 00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:43.480 turn his art collection into bankable collateral so that Leon 1046 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.639 Black could borrow money against them, to the tune of 1047 00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:49.719 an estimated one point four billion dollars evaluation in twenty 1048 00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:51.159 seventeen alone. 1049 00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:56.880 Uh so he sold his paintings. 1050 00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:00.760 No, So you got to understand, in the world big money, 1051 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.639 fine art is all a ruse. It's all a way 1052 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:08.719 of hiding and avoiding taxes. Right, So let's say I 1053 00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:11.519 go and I buy this art piece for you know, 1054 00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:15.239 eight hundred thousand dollars, just throwing it out here whatever, 1055 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.159 because it's art. That is a thing that is a 1056 00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.159 tax write off. And then if I go get it 1057 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:24.599 evaluated by a buddy of mine who happens to be 1058 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:26.920 a curator at an art museum and says, oh, you 1059 00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:29.920 bought it for how much? Eight hundred thousand? Brother, this 1060 00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:33.960 is worth two million. Now it's a it's a value 1061 00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:35.400 thing that I'll be able to write off in a 1062 00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.559 bigger thing later on. I could sell that piece for 1063 00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:41.039 two million to another rich guy that's trying to do 1064 00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:43.719 the same shit. It's a big shifting of money to 1065 00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:47.239 play the tax evasion game. That's all fine art really is. 1066 00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:50.599 Like you look at a Jackson Pollock painting. There's no 1067 00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.599 way these splatters of paint are worth four million dollars. 1068 00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:58.599 But because some rich guy wanted to do that. That is. 1069 01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:04.199 Understand that if you got an actual statue out of 1070 01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:10.079 the the what is it called? Oh fuck? I used 1071 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:16.400 to know the No fuck to Loup. I'm my actual art, 1072 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:23.039 not not anything funch. It's the Greek it's the the 1073 01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:29.599 Temple of Athena. I want to say, uh, the Acropolis. Yeah, 1074 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.239 like I SA, they took something from that, they took 1075 01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:35.119 a pillar from that. I could understand spending four million 1076 01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:38.519 dollars for that, because that's actual art that that has 1077 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:45.280 lasted that the the sands of time, right, But that's. 1078 01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:47.639 All it is. The fine art world is just a 1079 01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:53.280 tax evasion game these days, that's all. Yeah. Anyway, anyway, 1080 01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:57.480 So yeah, Leon Black. He has deep ties to big money, 1081 01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:01.760 big consulting firms, big things like this, and also very 1082 01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.079 deep ties to Epstein. And there's more than enough evidence 1083 01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:08.000 and more than enough things to at least justify an 1084 01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:13.000 investigation and him getting arrested. But no, now we're not 1085 01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:16.679 seeing that happen. Shocker. Anyway, let's continue on with the 1086 01:01:17.079 --> 01:01:19.239 article here. I agree with you, though, Sam, the more 1087 01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:22.960 we need arrests right now. But anyway, the White House 1088 01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:26.280 pushed back on concerns about executions. I would very much 1089 01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:28.960 like for that to get brought back for this one, actually, 1090 01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:30.760 I would love that. 1091 01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:37.320 Would you rather be a guillatine, firing squads, hanging, or 1092 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:39.840 elected chair, even if it was. 1093 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.480 Even if it was lethal injections, even if it was 1094 01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:46.440 some sort of a peaceful and easy way which for 1095 01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:48.519 the record, no, I think it needs to be way worse. 1096 01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:50.880 But just for the sake of the optics of it, 1097 01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:55.639 for us to have the public execution of everybody associated 1098 01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:58.840 with Jeffrey Epstein and let that be on Fox and 1099 01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.960 seeing in an MSNBEE, let that be on national television, 1100 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:07.280 I think that the goal would still get sent. You know, 1101 01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:09.440 even if it wasn't gruesome. 1102 01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:15.639 I think it. I think for that examples have to 1103 01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:17.800 be made. And why would we want them to think, Oh, 1104 01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:19.760 it's just an easy to death, I'll just go to sleep. 1105 01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:20.519 Fuck that. 1106 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:23.639 I'm with you. Like I said, they. 1107 01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:27.360 Were worshiping ball. Let's give them a bonds bowtal waship. 1108 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:29.480 We put them in the bitch and light it on fire. 1109 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.599 Again, I do believe it should be more gruesome than 1110 01:02:32.599 --> 01:02:36.159 a lethal injection. But I do want public executions to 1111 01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:39.079 be brought back for this or for anybody that that 1112 01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:41.920 harms children. I'm good with that just being the new 1113 01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:43.400 way for America. 1114 01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:48.039 Keep in mind, we can still legally hang somebody for bush. 1115 01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:53.039 Yeah, the Louisiana's got a couple of laws. You can 1116 01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:55.199 still legally hang somebody for doing shit too. So I 1117 01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:58.000 mean I'm hearing, I hear you. I just I don't know. 1118 01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:00.639 I'm hoping that some arrest it made, if nothing else, 1119 01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:03.480 to make some movement happen in this regard. But I 1120 01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:05.320 feel like we're gonna be holding our breath for a while. 1121 01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:07.880 No one, anyway, all right. 1122 01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:12.000 Gonna happen good, I said, I just don't think it's 1123 01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:18.760 ever gonna happen unfortunately. No, no arrests, no capital punishment, no, 1124 01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:19.320 no this. 1125 01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:23.239 And I agree with the anyone who actually has the 1126 01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:28.760 child one kill him, you know, one way, shape or form, 1127 01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.480 and then maybe depending on what they do, then you know, 1128 01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:36.440 call it a rigular scale, right. I mean, it's all bad, 1129 01:03:36.440 --> 01:03:38.199 but like you know what I mean as far as 1130 01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:41.679 you know, the death, But I just don't think that 1131 01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:44.840 we're going to get it. And that's ridiculously sad. 1132 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:47.519 Yeah it is, because we we had. I mean, it 1133 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:50.800 was everything that spot the Trump brand for the first time. 1134 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:56.280 This should have been like a knock in the ballpark 1135 01:03:56.519 --> 01:03:58.599 of oh hey, well look he doesn't have anything else 1136 01:03:58.639 --> 01:03:59.880 to lose, so so. 1137 01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:02.480 Then he should go to the nth degree for whatever. 1138 01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:06.000 And it just so happens he's going the nth degree 1139 01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:09.000 on the completely opposite spectrum. 1140 01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:11.239 And I think a lot of this should go with 1141 01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:14.559 his businessman background, because once he's out of the presidency 1142 01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:17.519 in two years three years give or take, he's going 1143 01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:20.199 back to the business world, and all these people that 1144 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:24.280 he could fry might be the people he needs to 1145 01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:27.320 make business deals happen in the next ten years. So 1146 01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:30.840 I think that he's absolutely unless he's on the list too, 1147 01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:32.920 and he knows that he would be counted among them, 1148 01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:37.320 which is also very very possible. Honestly, Yeah, I don't 1149 01:04:37.320 --> 01:04:39.719 think we're gonna be seeing any arrests really happen for this. 1150 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:41.599 It's gonna be one of these things. They're gonna throw 1151 01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:44.719 everything into the ceiling fan to see what sticks on 1152 01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.400 the walls. At the other end of it, aliens are real. 1153 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:50.960 We're going to war with Cuba. We're doing that. Yeah, yeah, 1154 01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:54.800 which I also think the Cuban military is not gonna 1155 01:04:54.800 --> 01:05:00.239 shoot at an American ship. They know better. Unless this 1156 01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:05.559 was a false flag event. I don't know, could be. 1157 01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:07.719 We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it here in 1158 01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:09.440 a bit as the article goes down. But I agree 1159 01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:11.840 with you, Royce, say im, I see your hand again, 1160 01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:16.239 what you got? Okay? 1161 01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:25.519 Yeah, I was gonna say that. Why why why can't 1162 01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:29.239 we just say bypass them? And because he don't even 1163 01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:33.440 order to give out the seam fouls anyway, Like, why 1164 01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:36.400 can't we just say hey, like we don't work for them, 1165 01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:41.639 they work for us. Why why don't why why don't 1166 01:05:41.639 --> 01:05:43.639 we just say fine and fuck it? If y'all don't 1167 01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:46.360 release this, we'll just just those of all of you 1168 01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:50.039 and take you by false out of power, right, and 1169 01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:53.440 we strip them of their their wealth, we strip them 1170 01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.000 of everything. And then we say, since y'all light being 1171 01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.199 on an island, cool, we put them on an island 1172 01:05:58.320 --> 01:05:59.960 and we made sure that they never leave. 1173 01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:05.599 That would be amazing. But unfortunately, most people in America, 1174 01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.639 they talk a big game, but don't have the gumption 1175 01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:10.519 to actually do things when the time comes. And most 1176 01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:13.239 people in America really don't have the stomach for true violence. 1177 01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:18.400 Most Americans have never seen what humans are willing to 1178 01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:21.440 do to each other when shit really hits the fan. 1179 01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:27.760 It's it's not something I think will actually happen. Hell Britain, Yeah, 1180 01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:32.480 they arrested Andrew Andy, former Prince Andrew Nowaday, he's just Andy, 1181 01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:39.840 old Andy down the street, you know, And yeah, I'm 1182 01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:42.559 just calling him Andy. But uh so that dude. Yeah, 1183 01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:46.079 he's arrested. He's not gonna like get the death penalty 1184 01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:48.840 that the British royal family had to show that they're 1185 01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:51.159 at least about it in some regard. He's been stripped 1186 01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:54.000 of his titles. He's been arrested. He's gonna be fine. 1187 01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:56.679 He'll probably get released, if not bailed out by some 1188 01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:59.119 other obscure cousin of theirs. Like, it's it's gonna be 1189 01:06:59.119 --> 01:06:59.920 fine for him. 1190 01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.159 Like, does that mean that he will never be able 1191 01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:05.960 to like be like is he like to exiled prince 1192 01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:09.639 who shows happiness over the money? Right, Well, he never 1193 01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:11.159 be a what will he has to get like a 1194 01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:12.079 regular job and all? 1195 01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:15.159 Uh yeah, no, he's he's on his own. He's not 1196 01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:18.559 getting any more endowments from his family ever. Again he's not. 1197 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:22.920 His children have also lost those titles, so like his 1198 01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:24.639 son is not going to be a part of the 1199 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:25.639 royal family either. 1200 01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:29.119 Like it's gone so truly the sins of the father 1201 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:31.000 really come back and fluck the sun. 1202 01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:34.559 They typically do as far as the royal families are concerned. 1203 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:41.280 Yeah, it would not surprise me if he gets up 1204 01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:42.679 at the bottom of the ocean. 1205 01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:46.400 Well, well, I guess we'll find out, you know, I 1206 01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:49.760 guess we'll find out anyway. Continuing on here, the White 1207 01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:52.840 House pushed back on the concerns about long term fiscal 1208 01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:56.199 risks the reality that President Trump has already slashed the 1209 01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:58.519 deficit by nearly twenty three percent in his first eleven 1210 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:01.760 months versus that's same time period in twenty twenty four. 1211 01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:06.519 White House spokesperson Cush Desigh said in Wednesday's statement, the 1212 01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:10.960 CBO has all so repeatedly underestimated economic growth. With the 1213 01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:15.199 twenty twenty five GDP growth having eclipsed the CBO's meager 1214 01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:19.079 one point nine percent projection for the year, smaller deficits 1215 01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:22.079 and higher growth thanks to Trump's economic policies are going 1216 01:08:22.119 --> 01:08:26.640 to slash, not grow, America's debt to GDP ratio. Again, 1217 01:08:26.680 --> 01:08:30.000 that's very These are very They sound good out loud, 1218 01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:32.960 but when we're looking at the hard facts and statistics, 1219 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:36.680 I'm hoping that maybe he's correct, and it's one of 1220 01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:38.199 these things that you just got to wait and see, 1221 01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:40.640 and all of nowhere, right before he gets out of office, 1222 01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:43.279 everything's gonna come through to fruition and our debt gets cut. 1223 01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:46.119 But man, he is spending money like it's going out 1224 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:48.079 of style right now, and I don't I just can't 1225 01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:51.359 see how that goes to work in our favor. But anyway, 1226 01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:55.800 job growth, the roaring economy is roaring like never before. 1227 01:08:56.279 --> 01:08:59.479 Trump boasted during his speech. More Americans are working today 1228 01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:02.079 than any any time in the history of our country. 1229 01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:05.359 But the President failed to touch on twenty twenty five's 1230 01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:08.520 the lagging job growth. The market added one hundred and 1231 01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:11.479 eighty one thousand jobs in all of twenty twenty five, 1232 01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:14.079 much fewer than the one point four to six million 1233 01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:17.600 jobs that were added in twenty twenty four. Okay, that's 1234 01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:21.079 a fair point. Economists note that while headline job totals 1235 01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:25.319 can mask fluctuations, the sharp deceleration in hiring relative to 1236 01:09:25.359 --> 01:09:28.039 twenty twenty four highlights a labor market that has softened 1237 01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:32.520 even as other economic indicators remained positive. Sarah Minority leader 1238 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:36.960 Chuck Schumer complete bitch claimed Trump mocked affordability issues and 1239 01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:40.840 failed to note weak job numbers. Okay, that's fair. Trump 1240 01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:45.239 didn't simply ignore the affordability crisis, Schumer said, aka bitch 1241 01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:48.600 boy said he mocked it yet again. The average Americans 1242 01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:50.560 sitting at their table trying to figure out how they're 1243 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:53.079 going to pay the damn Bill was furious that he 1244 01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:56.960 said it doesn't matter. That's a fair point. Though I 1245 01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:00.600 don't like Schumer, but that's a fair point. Ragged last 1246 01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:04.760 down about job creation, Schumer continued, well, job creation is 1247 01:10:05.039 --> 01:10:08.319 at its lowest point in over twenty years, outside of 1248 01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:11.319 a recession. It's the lowest point in twenty years. And 1249 01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:15.159 he brags about it. Okay, outside of a recession. Brother, 1250 01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.000 how many recessions have we been in the last twenty years? 1251 01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:23.199 And shocker? Okay, anyway, whatever, whatever I was about to 1252 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:27.000 say positive towards Schumer, he just tanked it. He tanked it. 1253 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:30.359 Now let's talk about what China. I'm sorry what Trump 1254 01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.399 said about China and the Indo Pacific in his State 1255 01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.600 of the Union address. While Trump used his address to 1256 01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:40.760 declare a Golden age of security, the world's most significant 1257 01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:45.920 geopolitical theater, the Indo Pacific was hardly mentioned. Shocker. Despite 1258 01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:49.199 a record breaking eleven billion dollar arms sale to Taiwan 1259 01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:51.640 just two months ago and a planned high stakes visit 1260 01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:55.439 to Beijing in April, the President did not mention Taiwan, 1261 01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:59.279 the South China Sea, or a broader regional strategy by name. 1262 01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:03.520 While Trump mocked Chinese technology because it deserves to be mocked, 1263 01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.560 by the way, in the context of the Venezuelan raid, 1264 01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:11.880 he offered no public reassurance to allies in Tokyo, Canberra, Australia, 1265 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:18.359 or Taipei, Taiwan, which we are navigating Beijing's expanding military reach. Yeah, 1266 01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:20.800 I don't know how this whole Beijing meeting is supposed 1267 01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:23.600 to go. In April, Trump is going to go to China. 1268 01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:29.800 That's that's a bit terrifying. The omission follows a pattern 1269 01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:33.000 established in twenty twenty six as National Defense strategy released 1270 01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:36.479 in January, which for the time in a decade, scrubbed 1271 01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:40.399 direct references to Taiwan's security. Though the US has long 1272 01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:43.800 hailed a policy of strategic ambiguity, refusing to say whether 1273 01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:47.000 it would come to Taiwan's defense if China invaded, some 1274 01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:52.520 analysis have detected a fragile duntuante between US and China. 1275 01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:57.399 This absence is notable in twenty twenty six, as Washington 1276 01:11:57.479 --> 01:12:01.359 prepares for high level talks of Beijing and regional allies 1277 01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:06.520 closely monitor US commitments amid rising cross straight tensions and 1278 01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:10.079 expanding Chinese naval activity. A White House official told Fox 1279 01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:13.720 News Digital there have been no change in policy towards Taiwan. 1280 01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:19.199 The US One China Policy, which provides for executive branch 1281 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:23.199 interactions with both of the Taiwan Strait, remains the same 1282 01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:26.319 as the first Trump administration, the official said, noting that 1283 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:29.399 the US policy continues to be based on the Taiwan 1284 01:12:29.560 --> 01:12:34.600 Relations Act, the three US p r C, Joint Communic Communis, 1285 01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:40.199 and the Six Assurances of Taiwan. Okay, So with that 1286 01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:42.840 being said, I feel like it's only right that we 1287 01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:48.359 hear from our our Hong Kong correspondent here, Donald Trump. 1288 01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:50.319 Don't trust China. China is ass hoo. 1289 01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:52.680 I feel like we can never hear from him enough 1290 01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:56.319 to be completely honest with you. But okay, fine, So 1291 01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:00.960 basically nothing of the Southeast Asia was mentioned other than 1292 01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:03.279 the whole oh I ended Wars, which was talking about 1293 01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:07.760 Cambodia and Thailand, which he did. But the tensions flared 1294 01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:11.319 up again because they've to be honest, those tensions have 1295 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:12.840 been flaring up for a long time and they just 1296 01:13:12.880 --> 01:13:14.840 came to a head this past two years. But whatever, 1297 01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:20.319 So China, Taiwan, all that situation not really mentioned in 1298 01:13:20.359 --> 01:13:23.000 the State of the Union address. I do not believe 1299 01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:25.560 as of this moment that China is getting ready to 1300 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:31.880 invade Taiwan, although their golden window of opportunity is rapidly 1301 01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:36.000 closing on them. If they don't bust a move this year, 1302 01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:40.079 their last shot will be twenty twenty seven. And after 1303 01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.359 that it's not gonna It's not simply gonna happen to 1304 01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:48.399 be real. But anyway, let's continue talking about Cuba and 1305 01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:54.199 the embargo. Despite a marked escalation in US policy towards Cuba, 1306 01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.319 Trump made no reference to the island, the long standing embargo, 1307 01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:00.680 or recent moves to titan economic pressure. The omission is 1308 01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:04.479 noteworthy given how central Havana Havana has become to broader 1309 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:07.600 US policy in the Western Hemisphere. Under Trump's second term, 1310 01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:11.880 the administration has significantly reinforced sanctions and pressured on Cuba, 1311 01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:15.039 moving beyond the decades old embargo to block crude oil 1312 01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:18.279 and fuel supplies that left the island largely without vital 1313 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:22.279 energy imports after Venezuelan shipments dried up, contributing to widespread 1314 01:14:22.319 --> 01:14:27.079 blackouts and worsening humanitarian conditions. In late January, Trump issued 1315 01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.720 an executive order declaring a national emergency on Cuba and 1316 01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.720 authorizing tariffs aimed at halting the supply of oil to 1317 01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:37.479 the island. Caribbean leaders also highlighted the regional consequences of 1318 01:14:37.479 --> 01:14:40.760 the US policy on Cuba at a major summit this week, 1319 01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:44.159 warning that fuel and economic crisis could have broader security 1320 01:14:44.199 --> 01:14:48.119 and migration implications across the Caribbean basin. The issue carries 1321 01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:51.399 regional implications. In twenty twenty six, as the Caribbean leaders 1322 01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:55.720 warned that prolonged instability in Cuba could fuel mitigation flows 1323 01:14:55.840 --> 01:15:01.760 and strain hemispheric security coordinations. So, okay, again the whole 1324 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:04.600 situation with Cuba. Everybody put a pin in that because 1325 01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:06.760 as that wasn't mentioned in the State of the Union 1326 01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:12.960 address today, Cuban military shot at an American boat and 1327 01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:17.199 killed four American citizens. And again I am still the 1328 01:15:17.199 --> 01:15:19.239 belief that there's a false flag to get everybody to 1329 01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:22.800 stop talking about the Epstein files. Everybody's worried about going 1330 01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:25.039 to war with the ran is anybody worried about US 1331 01:15:25.079 --> 01:15:27.239 going to war with Cuba? Because I actually didn't have 1332 01:15:27.279 --> 01:15:29.119 that on my Bengo car for this year, But I mean, 1333 01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:31.199 it very well could happen. But we'll get to that 1334 01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:34.439 here in a minute. Okay, Sam, go ahead. 1335 01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:38.960 Did they did we not learn the first time with 1336 01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:42.680 the failed invasion? They of Higgs invasion? 1337 01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:44.359 Apparently not. 1338 01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:50.079 I mean at this point is that we could take 1339 01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:54.079 what we learned then or what not to do, and 1340 01:15:54.680 --> 01:16:01.239 we But I just think that Cuba is fucked either way. 1341 01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:06.560 We'll see if Trump actually stands on his word and 1342 01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:09.720 does what US presidents do when someone touches our boats, 1343 01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:13.399 we might have a real situation on our hands. But 1344 01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:17.520 is it also possible that Trump's like, ehh, you know, 1345 01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:20.119 it was an accident. Whatever, we're moving on and throw 1346 01:16:20.199 --> 01:16:23.600 some extra tariffs and sanctions on them. I don't know. 1347 01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:29.279 Oh, I think we should start at this point. I 1348 01:16:29.319 --> 01:16:32.439 don't think they deserve the sun. That might be a 1349 01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.680 tagged too extremely. It's not three thousand of our boys, 1350 01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:40.199 and it ain't a couple of battleships. Granted they fucked up, 1351 01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:42.600 they touched the boat. I say, we just dropped four 1352 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.039 moabs and called it a day. Well, drop one moab 1353 01:16:46.119 --> 01:16:49.319 directly on the on the dickhead's house that lives there. 1354 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:50.840 That that's ruling it right now. 1355 01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:54.680 Eh Q has got way too dens of a civilian 1356 01:16:54.680 --> 01:16:57.960 population or drop moabs, dude, and their military is not 1357 01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:02.359 It's not impressive. I'll say that. Like, I know, I 1358 01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:04.399 shit on Canada a lot because they're listed as the 1359 01:17:04.439 --> 01:17:10.359 twenty seventh strongest military on Earth. Close to that. But honestly, 1360 01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:12.720 we could just send a couple of the Tidans of 1361 01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:17.079 Marines and have the island taken over in probably a week. 1362 01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:21.319 Real shit, you know, and it'd be fun. 1363 01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:29.279 I don't know, man Canada, Canada that they have full 1364 01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:34.680 motion three guys named David with a weird looking hat. 1365 01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:38.760 But I still think that humans might be more of 1366 01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:39.800 a threat thing Canada. 1367 01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:44.399 Yeah, I mean a threat maybe a bit. We'll read 1368 01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:45.920 about it. We'll read about it in a bit, and 1369 01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:48.359 then we'll make a decision of whether this is going 1370 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.039 to become a whole thing or not. We'll see. But anyway, 1371 01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:58.439 maybe Russia, Ukraine was referenced, but little detail, No need 1372 01:17:58.479 --> 01:17:59.880 to really go into the thick of it on this 1373 01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:02.880 when basically it was brought up, and he said that 1374 01:18:02.920 --> 01:18:05.039 he was framing an ambition to the end of the 1375 01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:08.079 conflict as part of his foreign policy narrative, but he 1376 01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:11.479 offered no detailed outline of how the administration plans to 1377 01:18:11.520 --> 01:18:14.399 achieved that goal, or how the US diplomacy, military aid, 1378 01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:17.039 or leverage with the European allies will be marshaled to 1379 01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:21.239 bring it about. All of that. Also right now, Ukraine 1380 01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:24.880 just scored some pretty massive victories against Russia. There was 1381 01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:28.640 a big Spring offensive that they just launched, and they 1382 01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:31.880 seem to be gaining ground in the South region. I 1383 01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:34.319 don't know that if it's gonna be, you know, it's 1384 01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:38.279 gonna maintain or not. I know that Russia has started 1385 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:41.800 conscripting troops from Africa, come to find out, and of 1386 01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:45.159 the four hundred that were sent, one hundred and forty 1387 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:48.319 of them have already been confirmed Kia on the front lines. 1388 01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:51.520 It's not looking good. It is not looking good for Russia, 1389 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:54.239 and it hasn't been for a very long time. So 1390 01:18:54.399 --> 01:18:56.359 I don't know. I just I don't feel like Putin's 1391 01:18:56.359 --> 01:18:59.359 getting ready to capitulate. I could be wrong. Tony had 1392 01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:02.039 to take off her, it seems, but he has still 1393 01:19:02.039 --> 01:19:03.960 been on the kick that this whole thing's going to 1394 01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:07.840 be wrapped up in March. I don't know. I hope 1395 01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:11.159 that this gets wrapped up sooner rather than later, but 1396 01:19:11.199 --> 01:19:14.560 I could also see this being a very slow grinding war. 1397 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:18.880 I don't believe that. Just me personally, I don't believe 1398 01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:23.399 Putin is going to stop once he achieves his goals 1399 01:19:23.439 --> 01:19:26.199 with these four OBLASTI I think that he's going to 1400 01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:28.039 be trying to make a push to take over all 1401 01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:32.319 of Ukraine. And Zelenski has vowed that he's not going 1402 01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:36.840 to be satisfied until all the way to Crimea becomes Ukrainian. Again, 1403 01:19:37.279 --> 01:19:41.640 that was taken in twenty twelve, was it or twenty fourteen? 1404 01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:44.760 Rather so like it's not, this isn't This isn't going 1405 01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:50.600 to end anytime soon unless all sides can see through 1406 01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:53.359 the fog and decide what's better for their people. I 1407 01:19:53.399 --> 01:19:55.159 just don't believe they're going to do that. So anyway, 1408 01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:58.560 So the speech came as the fourth anniversary of the 1409 01:19:58.640 --> 01:20:02.000 Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Yeah, that special two week military 1410 01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:06.479 operation is now on its fourth anniversary. Funny how that 1411 01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:09.279 works out. So the lack of detail stands out. In 1412 01:20:09.279 --> 01:20:12.199 twenty twenty six, as the war enters its fifth year 1413 01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:15.880 and European allies looked to Washington for clarity on long 1414 01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:19.680 term security guarantees and reconstruction support. And like we said, 1415 01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:22.640 Trump didn't really give a whole lot of details on this, 1416 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:26.039 but now without any further ado. We covered the State 1417 01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:29.520 of the Union, We talked about the things, and I 1418 01:20:29.560 --> 01:20:33.439 don't really know what to make of it. I Trump 1419 01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:36.920 did what Trump did. He talked a lot, made things 1420 01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:40.600 sound better than they are, took jabs at some people. 1421 01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:43.920 And I saw these other news articles. I didn't bring 1422 01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:46.439 them up for this one because there's no need to. 1423 01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:50.359 A bunch of Democrat women were wearing white and apparently 1424 01:20:50.439 --> 01:20:54.439 that was some sort of a sign of protest. Some dude, 1425 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:56.359 I'm not even gonna mention his name because I find 1426 01:20:56.399 --> 01:20:58.600 them to be a raging piece of shit. The guy 1427 01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:02.079 who is an elected official that looks like an actual 1428 01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:05.880 bag of ass, Like he looks like he's dying. He 1429 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:10.560 held up a sign saying that humans aren't apes or 1430 01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.640 something like that, and it was like no one said this, 1431 01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:16.520 but okay, he got escorted out during the State of 1432 01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:19.520 the Union address. The dude, I've heard him speak a 1433 01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.920 few times. The guy is how does he keep getting elected? 1434 01:21:24.479 --> 01:21:29.159 Elan Omar started screaming at Trump during the thing, which 1435 01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:31.760 is crazy because her and her husband are under indictment 1436 01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:36.439 right now for their own shit. Your boy. So not 1437 01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:39.119 her brother, by the way, not her first husband, her 1438 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:45.479 fucking blood brother, her current husband. He started a wine company, 1439 01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:49.800 not a vineyard, a wine company, and it was valued 1440 01:21:49.840 --> 01:21:53.720 at five hundred thousand one year and thirty six million 1441 01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:58.439 the next. And they don't really have any online presence 1442 01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:02.039 for sales or anything else else, So how did that happen? 1443 01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:07.840 And it's like, well, you know, so, Molly, Minnesota fraud 1444 01:22:07.920 --> 01:22:10.159 is kind of a big talking point. So they are 1445 01:22:10.199 --> 01:22:13.920 both about to be indicted for their shit with money, 1446 01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:17.000 and she's got the balls to start screaming at Trump 1447 01:22:17.079 --> 01:22:19.359 about some things as far as Minnesota and fraud goes 1448 01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:24.079 are about money. It's it's hilarious. So there's there are 1449 01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:29.199 some more, you know, ostentatious notes from the State of 1450 01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.199 the Union address. If y'all want to go look at 1451 01:22:31.239 --> 01:22:33.560 the YouTube clips of it, I recommend it. But I 1452 01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:35.159 brought up the things that I thought it was worth 1453 01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:36.279 mentioning on this one. 1454 01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:40.399 Sam, go ahead, Oh well, I was gonna say that 1455 01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:44.600 the day that said we're not eight I doubled check. Yeah, 1456 01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:48.119 we'll cast about as great eightes. No, so he is 1457 01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:51.520 in fact, actually scientifically vall we all ate. 1458 01:22:53.720 --> 01:22:54.960 Respectfully. I disagree. 1459 01:22:55.239 --> 01:22:58.439 But that's a thing I said scientifically. I didn't say 1460 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:02.520 what I thought. Yeah, saying scientifically, I'm using their their 1461 01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:03.960 belief system against them. 1462 01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:08.199 Yeah. So it was all for show. It was all 1463 01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:11.359 as a big ploy, and it just made him look 1464 01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:15.439 really bad. But sure, you know, to some people, they 1465 01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:17.000 keep electing him. I bet he's a hero. 1466 01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:22.119 I don't know, like John, like mister Senator Kennedy always says, 1467 01:23:22.399 --> 01:23:25.159 I'll push and let him, let him speak as a 1468 01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:30.920 as a go. It's working so that hey, say what 1469 01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:33.760 you will. That man, he is a divil.

He ain't in the files, No it ain't. 1472 01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:42.640 No, it ain't. He from Louisiana to Oh Kennedy. 1473 01:23:42.760 --> 01:23:45.359 I love that boy like I love that man. 1474 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:46.359 I like him a lot. 1475 01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.840 He said, if you hate the cops, call a crack head. 1476 01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:51.000 That's that's funny. 1477 01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:54.920 He comes with some fire, dude, he does all right. 1478 01:23:54.960 --> 01:24:00.319 Speaking president, I wish, But speaking of some faya, let's 1479 01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:04.319 learn about the Cuban navy shooting at an American boat 1480 01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:08.000 and killing four Americans. Let's learn about this together, y'all. 1481 01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:10.359 Details coming in on the story. We talked about just 1482 01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:14.239 a few minutes ago, Cuba's Interior Ministry saying that four 1483 01:24:14.279 --> 01:24:17.920 men on a US registered speedboat were shot and killed. 1484 01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:20.239 Our White House correspondent Kelly Myers back with us now 1485 01:24:20.279 --> 01:24:22.239 from the North Launch has been digging into this, So 1486 01:24:22.760 --> 01:24:25.319 all right, are we learning anything else, for example, anything 1487 01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:27.000 from the American side, Kelly yet or. 1488 01:24:29.800 --> 01:24:29.920 So. 1489 01:24:29.960 --> 01:24:32.479 We're reaching out to sources at the State Department and 1490 01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:35.479 here at the White House. But we do know from 1491 01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:39.560 some posts on X, including from the US embassy there, 1492 01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:42.880 Cuba's Interior Ministry is saying that there were four people 1493 01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.520 on that boat that were killed and six were injured. 1494 01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:48.000 You see that Cuban embassy in the US. We also 1495 01:24:48.039 --> 01:24:51.800 know that boat was registered in Florida, and according to 1496 01:24:51.920 --> 01:24:55.119 the Ministry of the Interior, they approached the boat for 1497 01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:59.359 identification and the crew on the speedboat open fire, they say, 1498 01:24:59.399 --> 01:25:03.079 and in respect, four were killed, six were injured. We're 1499 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:06.439 hearing more reaction on X, including from the Florida Attorney 1500 01:25:06.479 --> 01:25:10.239 General saying this quote. I've directed the Office of Statewide 1501 01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:14.279 Prosecution to work with our federal, state and law enforcement 1502 01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:18.039 partners to begin an investigation. The Cuban government cannot be trusted, 1503 01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:20.239 and we will do everything in our power to hold 1504 01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:23.960 these communists accountable. We also are hearing from Republican Florida 1505 01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:27.479 Congressman Carlos Gamenez saying he is also calling for an 1506 01:25:27.520 --> 01:25:31.439 immediate investigation. He also says he has requested additional details 1507 01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:34.640 from the State Department as well as the US military. 1508 01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:37.560 So we're waiting to learn more exactly about who was 1509 01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:39.880 on that boat, why they were on that boat, why 1510 01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:42.319 they were in those waters. But we do have those 1511 01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:45.479 initial details right now. Again, still reaching out to sources 1512 01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:47.760 at the State Department and here at the White House 1513 01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:51.079 to find out their reaction as well to this breaking news. 1514 01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:52.720 Conn all right, let us know if you hear anything else. 1515 01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:54.640 Kelly Kelly Myers live at the White House. Before we 1516 01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:56.479 move on, just to the tablet real quick so people 1517 01:25:56.520 --> 01:25:59.439 get an idea of where we're talking about. We'll get 1518 01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:01.399 to Nvidio as well. We're waiting for the earnings from 1519 01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:03.359 the Most Valuable Company of the World, which will be 1520 01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:05.039 released in the next hour. So we're going to talk 1521 01:26:05.039 --> 01:26:07.800 about up next what's expected. But on the tablet you 1522 01:26:07.840 --> 01:26:11.640 see Cuba obviously so close to South Florida, but the 1523 01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:14.439 area in question here in terms of the province can 1524 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:18.840 be highlighted here via Clara this providence, this province in 1525 01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:21.079 the northern part of Cuba. So that's what we're talking 1526 01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:24.039 about geographically, As Kelly says, more information on it as 1527 01:26:24.079 --> 01:26:25.560 we get it, quick break back with more. 1528 01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:31.119 Okay, So as of this moment, was it a civilian boat, 1529 01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:34.119 was it a military boat? It was a speedboat. They 1530 01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:38.359 said that ten people were on it and six or 1531 01:26:38.399 --> 01:26:42.439 four of them are dead and six were shot not dead. 1532 01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:47.239 Is this is this the new false flag? Is this 1533 01:26:47.279 --> 01:26:48.920 the thing that's going to get us to stop talking 1534 01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:51.359 about Epstein or is that what the government's hoping for? Anyway, 1535 01:26:51.720 --> 01:26:54.560 they're going to launch an investigation, but I mean, what's 1536 01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:57.920 to say they'll find anything. Let's read about this together. 1537 01:26:58.079 --> 01:27:01.439 So four people were killed and th other's wounded Wednesday, 1538 01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:03.439 so that was two days as a time of recording, 1539 01:27:03.520 --> 01:27:07.279 excuse me, after the crew of a Florida registered speedboat 1540 01:27:07.359 --> 01:27:11.960 opened fire on a Cuban border patrol vessel. So now 1541 01:27:11.960 --> 01:27:14.920 the story is that the Americans on the speedboat shot 1542 01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:18.960 at the Cuban border patrol vessel. Okay, And that's from 1543 01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:23.039 Cuba's Interior Ministry said they said that the Americans shot 1544 01:27:23.079 --> 01:27:30.159 at them first. Okay, this confrontation involved a civilian boat 1545 01:27:30.920 --> 01:27:37.279 attempting to evacuate relatives from the island. Interesting a US 1546 01:27:37.319 --> 01:27:39.760 officials told The New York Times. The Ministry said the 1547 01:27:39.840 --> 01:27:44.600 vessel bearing a Florida registration number had penetrated approximately one 1548 01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:51.399 nautical mile into Cuban waters near Cayo Falcons in the 1549 01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:55.560 Villa Clara province, when a five member border guard patrol 1550 01:27:55.680 --> 01:27:59.359 approached for identification. Cuban officials say a majority of the 1551 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:02.199 ten passingers on a boat that opened fire on its 1552 01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.479 soldiers were armed Cubans living in the US who were 1553 01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:09.920 trying to infiltrate the island and unleash terrorism. Clearly, of course, 1554 01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:12.279 you know about those Cuban terrorists. You always hear so 1555 01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:16.079 much about they. Noted among the detained participants, according to 1556 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:21.159 the preliminary investigations, were I'm gonna try my hardest to 1557 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:23.800 say these names without butchering them. Y'all. Keep in mind, 1558 01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:28.000 I barely speak American English, so let's do this. Amiel 1559 01:28:28.159 --> 01:28:35.640 Sanchez Gonzalez Lear Dan Enrique Cruz Gomez, Conrad Galindo Sariol, 1560 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:45.560 Jose Manuel Rodriguez Castillo, Castillo, Christian Ernesto Acosta Guerira Guevara, 1561 01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:54.199 and Roberto as Cora consueg Gra. Michael Ortega Casanova was 1562 01:28:54.239 --> 01:28:59.159 identified among the deceased. Okay, I probably destroyed those names again, 1563 01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:02.239 my apologies, A source familiar with the investigator with the 1564 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:06.000 information told Jesus, I'm trying to read with one I hear. 1565 01:29:06.239 --> 01:29:08.399 A source familiar with the information on the registration of 1566 01:29:08.399 --> 01:29:11.680 the boat provided to News Nation that the vessel belonged 1567 01:29:11.720 --> 01:29:14.319 to a man who was born in Cuba. The boat's 1568 01:29:14.439 --> 01:29:18.000 last known address was Miami Lakes. The source added that 1569 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:20.560 they couldn't confirm if the man was aboard the vessel 1570 01:29:20.600 --> 01:29:23.239 at the time of the incident, or if or even 1571 01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:26.479 in possession of it. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement 1572 01:29:26.520 --> 01:29:29.239 made contact with the man. Sources also told News Nation 1573 01:29:29.600 --> 01:29:32.680 he lives in Miami, but the boat was Adam Marina 1574 01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:37.439 down in the Keys. Upon notification and contact, he reported 1575 01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:40.840 the boat stolen. The man is not a suspect yet 1576 01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:44.439 in any way. The crew of the speedboat opened fire, 1577 01:29:44.600 --> 01:29:48.840 wounding the commander of the Cuban vessel authority said by that, 1578 01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:52.840 I mean Cuban authorities, said the Cuban forces returned fire. 1579 01:29:53.039 --> 01:29:55.920 It is highly unusual to see shootouts in the open 1580 01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:59.199 sea like that, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. 1581 01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:01.720 It's not something that happens every day, and frankly, it 1582 01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:04.840 hasn't happened with Cuba in a very long time. Florida 1583 01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:08.279 Governor DeSantis was briefed by the US Coast Guard leadership 1584 01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:10.640 about the incident, according to a source familiar with the matter. 1585 01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:13.079 The US official, who spoke to The Times on the 1586 01:30:13.079 --> 01:30:15.840 condition of anonymity, said the vessel was a civilian boat 1587 01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:18.760 and not a US naval or Coastguard craft, and that 1588 01:30:18.880 --> 01:30:21.239 it was a part of a flotilla attempting to bring 1589 01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:25.760 relatives out of Cuba. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer. Uth 1590 01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:29.960 Meyer said he had directed the state's Offish office to 1591 01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:34.319 Statewide Prosecution to open an investigation in coordination with federal 1592 01:30:34.359 --> 01:30:39.920 and state law enforcement partners. Representative Carlo Yumenez, who's Republican 1593 01:30:39.960 --> 01:30:43.279 from Florida, a Cuban American who represents Florida's twenty eighth 1594 01:30:43.319 --> 01:30:47.199 congressional district, called the incident an attack on US civilians 1595 01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.520 the dictatorship in Cuba. The direct quote here the dictatorship 1596 01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:52.720 in Cuba has just attacked a boat from Florida and 1597 01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:55.680 murdered those on board. He wrote this on x This 1598 01:30:55.760 --> 01:30:58.680 regime must be relegated to the dust bin of history. 1599 01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:02.199 Cuba defended the us A force, saying it remained committed 1600 01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:05.199 to protecting its territorial waters and that national defense is 1601 01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:08.920 a fundamental pillar of the Cuban state. Authority said investigations 1602 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:14.680 are continuing. Okay, so as of this moment, will we 1603 01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:17.319 be going to war with Cuba? Maybe yes, maybe not 1604 01:31:18.640 --> 01:31:23.239 if these statements are true from the Cuban authorities. Here, 1605 01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:28.399 we're saying that Cuban Americans made a flotilla and we're 1606 01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:33.560 going to Cuba with the express intent of extracting Cubans 1607 01:31:33.640 --> 01:31:38.159 out and bring them to America illegally. As much as 1608 01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:40.880 Trump has been touting about getting the illegals out of here, 1609 01:31:41.239 --> 01:31:44.439 I have a hard time as of this moment, believing 1610 01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:47.159 that he's going to take this to be a net positive. Now, 1611 01:31:47.159 --> 01:31:49.960 how many of the people on the boat were American citizens, 1612 01:31:50.039 --> 01:31:54.279 specifically American born citizens. That might pull the sway one 1613 01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:57.479 way or another. It wasn't a naval vessel, it wasn't 1614 01:31:57.479 --> 01:32:00.640 a coastguard vessel. It wasn't anything other than an American 1615 01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:06.479 registered boat. So I don't know. But seeing is how 1616 01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:09.840 we already have assets in the Caribbean because of what 1617 01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:13.680 just took place with Venezuela. Is it possible that we 1618 01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:15.800 take some of those assets and put them off the 1619 01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:17.520 coast of Cuba as a show of force and do 1620 01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:24.000 some shit. Very possible. I don't know what's your thoughts, Sam. 1621 01:32:24.680 --> 01:32:28.279 I retract my earliest statements. This does not want the 1622 01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:33.079 sun at all. I feel like that is sort that 1623 01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:36.279 this really has nothing to do with us. It's the 1624 01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:38.079 boat's just registered to us. 1625 01:32:38.600 --> 01:32:43.680 This is yeah, But especially with the way the political 1626 01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:46.239 climate in this country is right now, I could see 1627 01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:49.600 this possibly getting blown way out of proportion. I could 1628 01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:52.520 also see this getting pushed under the rug both They 1629 01:32:52.560 --> 01:32:54.279 could go either way at this point. 1630 01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:58.840 Honestly, I could see the left looking at tomp saying, oh, so, 1631 01:32:59.119 --> 01:33:01.159 because he said you gotta want to start any new wars, 1632 01:33:01.279 --> 01:33:03.199 it could use this to try to put push him in. 1633 01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:06.039 Them wants to say, oh, see Trump say hit to quit. 1634 01:33:06.560 --> 01:33:10.680 I say, oh yeah. But I'll see the bite side 1635 01:33:10.800 --> 01:33:14.159 say well, these aren't really US citizens. They were cleaning 1636 01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:18.119 a crime they fired upon the other. Shit happens, so 1637 01:33:19.279 --> 01:33:22.560 h And it's well, either way you cut it, this 1638 01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:27.119 is awesome life. But does it really want us going 1639 01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:30.079 and inviting Cuba? In my humble opinion. 1640 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:32.479 No, not really, not my opinion either. 1641 01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:35.399 But again, I'm gonna all these statements. 1642 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:38.399 We'll see how it shakes out. Honestly, I could see 1643 01:33:38.439 --> 01:33:41.319 it going both ways. And either decision that Trump makes 1644 01:33:41.359 --> 01:33:44.079 on that one, the left is gonna say either A 1645 01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:46.800 if he does nothing, Oh so it's because they were 1646 01:33:46.960 --> 01:33:51.640 brown American citizens that's why Trump doesn't care. Or if 1647 01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:55.479 he invades Cuba, right, Oh so all of a sudden 1648 01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:58.279 you wanted to start a new war with Cuba, he's 1649 01:33:58.319 --> 01:34:00.880 He's screwedy. The way it goes on this one, I 1650 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:03.520 don't know what's gonna shake out of it, but it's 1651 01:34:03.640 --> 01:34:06.920 very rare that somebody touches an American boat, and I 1652 01:34:06.920 --> 01:34:09.079 thought it was worth us mentioning it today, especially as 1653 01:34:09.079 --> 01:34:12.279 it happened two days of time of recording. So anyway, 1654 01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:16.640 let's talk about this. Also, the Trump administration considers forcing 1655 01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:24.960 banks to verify customers citizenship. Now I gotta be careful 1656 01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:28.880 about how to say this. Once upon a time there 1657 01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:34.439 was a president in the United States named Barack who 1658 01:34:35.680 --> 01:34:38.600 was trying to figure out which Americans were putting money 1659 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:44.359 in a Swiss bank. Right, the Swiss Bank famously tells 1660 01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:47.239 any government to fuck off when it comes to what 1661 01:34:47.359 --> 01:34:51.760 their customers have in their bank accounts, and this President 1662 01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:56.359 Obama approached them and basically said, either you give me 1663 01:34:56.720 --> 01:34:59.520 all the information on every American that has an account 1664 01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:03.239 with you, or there will be consequences. So in response, 1665 01:35:03.319 --> 01:35:07.600 the Swiss Bank kicked every single American out because they're 1666 01:35:07.640 --> 01:35:10.960 not dealing with that. Like, sorry, it sucks to suck, 1667 01:35:11.159 --> 01:35:12.800 but your president's a piece of shit and we're not 1668 01:35:12.800 --> 01:35:19.720 playing this game with y'all. Trump is considering forcing banks, 1669 01:35:19.800 --> 01:35:23.840 all banks in America to verify if every single customer 1670 01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:28.159 is an American citizen or not, as a way of 1671 01:35:28.239 --> 01:35:32.720 finding more illegals. This is the thing that's taking place, 1672 01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:36.359 so let's talk about it. The Trump administration is weighing 1673 01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:40.239 a new requirement for US banks to verify citizenship information 1674 01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:42.760 of current and future customers as part of the president's 1675 01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:47.439 aggressive immigration crackdown. The potential action, which one source said 1676 01:35:47.479 --> 01:35:50.520 could take the form of an executive order, has raised 1677 01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:53.319 concern in the industry that banks could be compelled to 1678 01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:58.399 ask customers for an unprecedented category of documents, including passports 1679 01:35:58.439 --> 01:36:02.199 and other documents that verify citizenship status. The source cautioned 1680 01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:05.079 that plans haven't been finalized and that there are still 1681 01:36:05.119 --> 01:36:10.560 considerations underway other options and legal authorities or underway over 1682 01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:14.359 other options. It's a bad idea and we are very alarmed, 1683 01:36:14.439 --> 01:36:18.479 and a financial industry source told CNN. The industry source 1684 01:36:18.520 --> 01:36:21.600 added that the bank executives worry the order is designed 1685 01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:24.039 to force them to play a role in the administration's 1686 01:36:24.079 --> 01:36:29.920 pursuit to deport undocumented immigrants. Well, yeah, clearly that's what 1687 01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:36.840 this is about. They're worried about that. That seems okay, No, 1688 01:36:37.039 --> 01:36:41.399 clearly that's what this is. It's not clear whether President 1689 01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:44.520 Trump will eventually sign executive order, the possibility of which 1690 01:36:44.680 --> 01:36:47.319 was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The White 1691 01:36:47.359 --> 01:36:50.920 House neither confirmed nor denied the potential executive order or 1692 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:54.560 other actions. Any reporting about potential policy making that has 1693 01:36:54.600 --> 01:36:57.880 not been officially announced by the White House is baseless speculation. 1694 01:36:58.640 --> 01:37:02.319 White House spokesperson culsh said in a statement. While banks 1695 01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:05.439 are required to adhere to anti money laundering and know 1696 01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:09.039 your customer rules and list where a customer lives. They 1697 01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:12.880 don't collect or verify citizenship information. If Trump signed an 1698 01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:16.039 executive order or this type of executive order, it could 1699 01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:21.199 require banks to retroactively give citizenship information from existing customers 1700 01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:24.760 and collect it from new customers. The industry source said, 1701 01:37:25.319 --> 01:37:30.479 verifying every bank customer citizenship status would be unworkable. I 1702 01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:34.239 don't see how that'd be very simple, the same way 1703 01:37:34.279 --> 01:37:36.479 you have a mobile app. You can take a picture 1704 01:37:36.520 --> 01:37:38.960 of a check to deposit it, send a picture of 1705 01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:44.640 your driver's license, your social I don't know anyway. The 1706 01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:49.000 Trump administration's immigration crackdown efforts have at times raise concerns 1707 01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:53.640 in parts of the federal government. CNN previously reported as 1708 01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:57.359 many as fifty senior information technology professionals at the IRS, 1709 01:37:57.439 --> 01:38:01.600 including some top cybersecurity experts, were placed on administrative leave 1710 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:06.159 last year as Trump's officials finalized plans to share taxpayer 1711 01:38:06.279 --> 01:38:10.479 data with federal immigration authorities. That effort was legally challenged 1712 01:38:10.520 --> 01:38:13.319 and blocked by a federal judge late last year. A 1713 01:38:13.359 --> 01:38:17.079 Treasury Department spokesperson said at the time that employees were 1714 01:38:17.079 --> 01:38:19.600 placed on leave, but denied it had to do with 1715 01:38:19.760 --> 01:38:24.680 accessing IRS data. For Immigration Enforcement. Okay, now listen, hear 1716 01:38:24.720 --> 01:38:29.560 me out. I understand that a bank makes money. They 1717 01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:33.079 really don't care where that money comes from, who that 1718 01:38:33.159 --> 01:38:36.680 money is attached to. Whatever a bank to a bank, 1719 01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:40.119 green is green dog. Dollar bills are dollar bills, and 1720 01:38:40.159 --> 01:38:42.920 they are in fact the almighty dollar bills. They don't care. 1721 01:38:43.479 --> 01:38:47.439 That being said, we only need to take a quick 1722 01:38:47.600 --> 01:38:50.720 look back in history to see about those huge bailouts 1723 01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:55.840 that former administrations paid to these banks to keep their 1724 01:38:55.880 --> 01:38:59.239 doors open. They are beholden to the government, whether they 1725 01:38:59.279 --> 01:39:02.079 want to be or not. So if the government says, hey, 1726 01:39:02.119 --> 01:39:04.439 you're gonna start requiring this to do any kind of 1727 01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:07.359 business with these people, the banks will say yes sir 1728 01:39:07.920 --> 01:39:11.720 and go on about their business. But it's very possible 1729 01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:15.960 that this gets blocked. As other attempts that Trump has 1730 01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:18.640 tried to make things happen, other things have been blocked, 1731 01:39:18.680 --> 01:39:20.800 It's very possible that this gets shot down as well. 1732 01:39:20.920 --> 01:39:25.680 I don't know. Trump recently filed a lawsuit. All right, 1733 01:39:25.680 --> 01:39:27.960 you know I'm gonna read this one too. These discussions 1734 01:39:28.039 --> 01:39:30.720 come as the Trump administration has moved to crack down 1735 01:39:30.800 --> 01:39:34.960 on what is it views as d banking of conservatives. 1736 01:39:35.439 --> 01:39:38.159 Trump signed an executive order last year seeking to punish 1737 01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:41.399 banks for restricting services to customers based on their religious 1738 01:39:41.479 --> 01:39:45.000 or political beliefs. So there's already banks that are doing that, 1739 01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:47.560 but now that Trump's telling them they're gonna do it 1740 01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:50.119 this way, they're saying that this is gonna be unworkable. 1741 01:39:50.920 --> 01:39:54.039 Trump recently filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase for 1742 01:39:54.199 --> 01:39:57.520 dropping him as a customer after the January sixth, twenty 1743 01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:01.720 twenty one, quote unquote insurrection. JP Morgan said the suit 1744 01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:07.039 has no merit. So again, Trump, being the wealthy financier 1745 01:40:07.079 --> 01:40:09.960 guy that he has been for years and years, is 1746 01:40:10.000 --> 01:40:13.520 now trying to go to war with banks. That's a 1747 01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:16.399 bold strategy, Gotden. We shall see how it works out 1748 01:40:16.439 --> 01:40:19.760 for him. Anyway, moving on, I did want to bring 1749 01:40:19.800 --> 01:40:24.000 this up, the FBI subpoena Cash Patel and Susie Wilds's 1750 01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:29.239 phone records. Yeah, that's interesting seeing as how he's the director. 1751 01:40:29.760 --> 01:40:31.680 But you know what, let's learn about this one together. 1752 01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:35.159 Vice President J. D. Van says the Trump administration will 1753 01:40:35.159 --> 01:40:38.880 temporarily halt some medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota 1754 01:40:39.159 --> 01:40:43.000 over fraud concerns. President Trump's point man on his war 1755 01:40:43.039 --> 01:40:46.039 against fraud, says he wants to restore public faith in 1756 01:40:46.119 --> 01:40:50.560 taxpayer funded programs and bring justice to those who defrauded them. 1757 01:40:50.880 --> 01:40:55.399 Fraud Czar nominee Colin MacDonald testified before the Senate Judiciary 1758 01:40:55.399 --> 01:40:57.840 Committee today. Of course by it, David Spots shows us 1759 01:40:57.840 --> 01:40:58.960 tonight from Capitol. 1760 01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:03.920 Hill, fraudsters should never be allowed to rip off the 1761 01:41:04.039 --> 01:41:05.880 United States of America. 1762 01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:09.000 The man handpicked by President Trump to lead a new 1763 01:41:09.079 --> 01:41:13.239 anti fraud office inside the Justice Department, came to Congress 1764 01:41:13.319 --> 01:41:14.600 with a message. 1765 01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:17.600 Where no fraud is too big for the Department of Justice, 1766 01:41:17.640 --> 01:41:20.399 and no fraud is too small for the Department of Justice. 1767 01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:25.000 Some Democrats questioning whether the new position should even be established. 1768 01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:28.319 The worst examples of waste, fraud and abuse in recent 1769 01:41:28.399 --> 01:41:33.119 years are coming from inside the Trump administration. Want to 1770 01:41:33.199 --> 01:41:35.199 root out fraud, start at the top. 1771 01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:39.920 If confirmed, Colin MacDonald, we'll focus on Minnesota, where Republicans 1772 01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:43.520 allege fraud is rampant. He also put a spotlight on 1773 01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:46.279 elder fraud cases across the country. 1774 01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:49.680 And it's not just the grandmothers and the grandfathers, it's 1775 01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:52.399 also their family members who bear the weight of these 1776 01:41:52.439 --> 01:41:56.279 scams and the fraud that's perpetrated against them. 1777 01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:59.640 Democrats, pointing to concerns about the independence of the new position. 1778 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:02.399 After this in January. 1779 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:04.279 It will be run out of the White House under 1780 01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:06.640 the supervision of me and the President of the United States. 1781 01:42:06.920 --> 01:42:09.239 And this last night at the State of the Union. 1782 01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:12.800 The war on fraud to be led by our great 1783 01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:14.479 Vice President JD. 1784 01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:18.760 Vance, but McDonald, if confirmed, will report directly to the 1785 01:42:18.800 --> 01:42:22.920 Attorney and Deputy Attorney General, who both shut down other 1786 01:42:23.039 --> 01:42:27.720 anti fraud units like the Consumer Protection Branch and Tax Division. 1787 01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:33.079 Ancy money laundering violations are down fifty four percent, investigations 1788 01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:36.319 into tax fraud schemes are down sixty three percent. 1789 01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:40.199 As you mentioned. Late this afternoon, Vice President Vance said 1790 01:42:40.199 --> 01:42:44.119 that the administration would be pausing some medicaid funding to Minnesota, 1791 01:42:44.119 --> 01:42:47.079 but he did not give specifics there. Speaking of Minnesota, 1792 01:42:47.079 --> 01:42:50.279 Governor Tim Walls and state Attorney General Keith Ellison will 1793 01:42:50.279 --> 01:42:52.520 be here on Capitol Hill Brett next week to answer 1794 01:42:52.600 --> 01:42:56.840 questions before Congress on TV about this alleged fraud in 1795 01:42:56.880 --> 01:42:57.319 that state. 1796 01:42:57.359 --> 01:42:57.680 Brett. 1797 01:42:57.760 --> 01:43:01.439 They have another topic, THEI Beyond Director Cash battel out 1798 01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:06.439 with an allegation that the prior FBI obtained his phone 1799 01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:09.600 records and not only his What can tell us about that, Brett? 1800 01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:11.760 This has been breaking in the last hour or so. 1801 01:43:11.840 --> 01:43:14.800 We are told that, according to Cash Betel, the FBI director, 1802 01:43:15.119 --> 01:43:18.840 the prior bureau leadership obtained his phone records and phone 1803 01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.560 records to current White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles 1804 01:43:21.880 --> 01:43:24.720 back in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. This 1805 01:43:24.800 --> 01:43:28.840 eventually led into the Jack Smith Special Council investigation into 1806 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:32.279 then former President Donald Trump. We're told that some of 1807 01:43:32.319 --> 01:43:35.840 these records are just toll records, which don't have specific 1808 01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:39.000 information other than times and dates. They don't have the 1809 01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:42.319 actual content of calls. But two sources in the FBI 1810 01:43:42.479 --> 01:43:46.319 say that Susie Wiles's attorney agreed to be recorded by 1811 01:43:46.439 --> 01:43:49.800 FBI agents in twenty twenty three. She did not agree. 1812 01:43:49.840 --> 01:43:53.039 We've reached out to her for comment. FBI Director Pattel, 1813 01:43:53.119 --> 01:43:55.760 in a statement to Fox News calls this outrageous and 1814 01:43:55.840 --> 01:43:58.800 deeply disturbing. And I will add Brett that we are 1815 01:43:58.840 --> 01:44:03.159 told at least ten Burero employees have been fired just 1816 01:44:03.279 --> 01:44:07.319 today over this incident, with more potentially to come. 1817 01:44:08.039 --> 01:44:10.399 Right, We'll continue to dig into it. David spot on 1818 01:44:10.439 --> 01:44:13.880 cap So we're gonna just kind of keep an eye 1819 01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:17.279 on this one for multiple reasons. Number one, the whole 1820 01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:20.319 fraud situation, the fact that we have a fraud czar, 1821 01:44:21.880 --> 01:44:25.239 that that position sounds made up as hell because it is. 1822 01:44:25.439 --> 01:44:29.119 For one. For two, this this guy that they're trying 1823 01:44:29.119 --> 01:44:31.800 to put into that position, he looks like a choir boy. 1824 01:44:32.640 --> 01:44:35.640 He don't look like he's down to like find the 1825 01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:39.560 root cause of this evil. He whatever. Maybe he'll get 1826 01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:42.159 the position, maybe he'll do good. Who knows, But it's 1827 01:44:42.199 --> 01:44:45.720 gonna be under the direct observance of Jade Vance. So 1828 01:44:45.800 --> 01:44:49.439 I guess we'll just see what happens, you know. Moving 1829 01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:54.079 on from that, Cash Pattel and Wiles having their phone 1830 01:44:54.079 --> 01:44:58.920 records pulled by the former FBI administration. Yeah, that that 1831 01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:02.960 actually tracks that the last administration was big with investigations 1832 01:45:03.000 --> 01:45:06.399 into people that they deemed to be enemies. I don't 1833 01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:08.640 know what's going to come out of that, but cool. 1834 01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:10.680 I just thought it was interesting for us to bring 1835 01:45:10.760 --> 01:45:12.840 up on this one, to be honest with you. But anyway, 1836 01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:19.359 all right, let's continue on here. Consolidate US counter intelligence 1837 01:45:19.399 --> 01:45:23.520 into two powerhouse agencies. I thought this one was also 1838 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:25.199 going to be an interesting one to bring up here. 1839 01:45:25.239 --> 01:45:29.159 So they're taking two different groups and they're just going 1840 01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:33.000 to combine them into a monster group here. For decades, 1841 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:37.319 American counterintelligence has failed due to an organizational structure that 1842 01:45:37.439 --> 01:45:44.680 encourages para paracyalism, parochialism. There it is, encourages parochialism and 1843 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:48.279 risk aversion rather than collaboration and bold action. In twenty twelve, 1844 01:45:48.399 --> 01:45:52.560 National Security Agency and US Cyber Command leader General Keith 1845 01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:57.399 Alexander said that Chinese cyber espionage was facilitating the greatest 1846 01:45:57.439 --> 01:46:00.880 transfer of wealth in history, which is true. In the 1847 01:46:00.960 --> 01:46:04.520 years since, America's response has failed to deter China's pillaging 1848 01:46:04.680 --> 01:46:09.119 of US intellectual property and secrets. Also very true, Chinese 1849 01:46:09.199 --> 01:46:12.520 espionage has acquired trillions of dollars worth of American intellectual property. 1850 01:46:12.840 --> 01:46:16.479 This theft frees money that would otherwise be spent on 1851 01:46:17.079 --> 01:46:21.239 military research and development. It subsidizes Chinese living standards and 1852 01:46:21.319 --> 01:46:24.399 invests in diplomatic I don't know what the hell just 1853 01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:28.000 happened with this page here, that just went way down. 1854 01:46:28.840 --> 01:46:33.640 Hold on. It subsidizes Chinese living standards and invests in 1855 01:46:33.640 --> 01:46:37.359 diplomatic initiatives that increase China's influence around the world. If 1856 01:46:37.399 --> 01:46:41.840 these advantages are too abstract moving forward in American response, 1857 01:46:42.279 --> 01:46:45.399 the danger faced by our military service members should focus 1858 01:46:45.479 --> 01:46:48.560 our attention. China's J twenty and J thirty five fighters 1859 01:46:48.640 --> 01:46:52.479 are fifth generation aircraft that were rapidly developed in part 1860 01:46:52.600 --> 01:46:55.960 because of Chinese espionage. This is also very factually incorrect. 1861 01:46:56.880 --> 01:47:00.680 J twenty and J thirty five. Listen to say fifth Gin. 1862 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:06.880 That's these would be equivalent to our like third possibly 1863 01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:12.079 fourth gen. Meanwhile, America has sixth gen fighters. Just so 1864 01:47:12.119 --> 01:47:14.720 we're all clear here, but moving on. In the event 1865 01:47:14.760 --> 01:47:18.439 of conflict, these fighters pose real risks to American military personnel. 1866 01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:21.800 Many may die because American counter intelligence couldn't stop the 1867 01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:26.039 Chinese from requiring our sensitive information. The House Senate Intelligence 1868 01:47:26.039 --> 01:47:29.680 Committee both realizes the I'm sorry. The House and Senate 1869 01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:35.079 Intelligence Committee both realize the catastrophic Jesus, I can't speak 1870 01:47:35.119 --> 01:47:39.600 the catastrophic nature of the situation. Competing proposals championed by 1871 01:47:39.880 --> 01:47:44.720 Representative Rick Crawford, Republican out of Arkansas, and Senator Tom Cotton, 1872 01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:48.279 another Republican out of Arkansas, would make significant changes to 1873 01:47:48.359 --> 01:47:53.520 counterintelligence management. Neither get the issue exactly right. Concentrating additional 1874 01:47:53.520 --> 01:47:56.880 counter intelligence responsibilities inside the FBI is a key part 1875 01:47:56.880 --> 01:48:00.159 of the Senate proposal should be a non starter in 1876 01:48:00.199 --> 01:48:03.399 the organization's failure to stem the tide of Chinese espionage. 1877 01:48:03.560 --> 01:48:08.800 Periodic high profile arrests don't negate the shortcomings. Beyond counterintelligence, 1878 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:12.560 the FBI is the nation's lead criminal investigative agency, and 1879 01:48:12.600 --> 01:48:16.880 their attention is divided among various responsibilities. The House proposal 1880 01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:21.640 creates a National Director of Counterintelligence, but doesn't fundamentally alter 1881 01:48:22.199 --> 01:48:25.560 how agencies are organized. This is a mistake. For decades, 1882 01:48:25.560 --> 01:48:28.479 the US has treated counter intelligence as a law enforcement function, 1883 01:48:28.840 --> 01:48:32.960 and how's died it within federal police agencies. The staggering 1884 01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:36.520 setbacks we've suffered illustrate the folly of that decision. It's 1885 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:40.680 time to consolidate America's counter intelligence organizations into two agencies, 1886 01:48:41.039 --> 01:48:43.760 one focused on the requirements of the US military, and 1887 01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:47.439 the other assuming counterintelligence responsibilities from the FBI. The new 1888 01:48:47.520 --> 01:48:52.159 organization would take place alongside Britain's MI five, Australia's Security 1889 01:48:52.159 --> 01:48:56.800 Intelligence Organization, and other agencies maintained by America's allies. A 1890 01:48:56.920 --> 01:49:01.199 narrowly focused agency isn't without precedent. The Drug Enforcement Administration 1891 01:49:01.319 --> 01:49:05.119 is an example. The DEA exists because protecting Americans from 1892 01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:08.880 illegal drugs is crucial. Halting the laws of sensitive information 1893 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:12.560 ensuring our military can prevail on a conflict, confusing our 1894 01:49:12.640 --> 01:49:16.560 adversaries and shaping their perceptions is more than crucial. It's 1895 01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:19.880 essential for our standing as the world's dominant power and 1896 01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:22.800 for the safety and prosperity of the American people. The 1897 01:49:22.920 --> 01:49:26.039 unique requirement of the armed forces justify the existence of 1898 01:49:26.079 --> 01:49:30.119 a dedicated organization exclusively focused on their needs. Under the 1899 01:49:30.119 --> 01:49:33.079 current structure, the Army, Navy, and Air Force all maintained 1900 01:49:33.079 --> 01:49:37.199 their own counterintelligence organizations, and except for the Army, these 1901 01:49:37.239 --> 01:49:40.880 are part of the multipurpose law enforcement agencies along the 1902 01:49:40.920 --> 01:49:43.760 lines of the FBI. Even the Army, which has a 1903 01:49:43.760 --> 01:49:49.079 dedicated counterintelligence organization, is focused on counter espionage investigations instead 1904 01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:52.079 of operations and runs the risk of recreating the law 1905 01:49:52.159 --> 01:49:59.039 enforcement culture that SAPs operational creativity. Okay, coming or combining Army, Navy, 1906 01:49:59.039 --> 01:50:01.840 and Air Force counter and intitelligence into a segule agency 1907 01:50:02.199 --> 01:50:06.359 would facilitate a more effective allocation of limited resources such 1908 01:50:06.359 --> 01:50:09.640 as surveillance and cyber which are now mostly controlled by 1909 01:50:09.640 --> 01:50:13.319 the individual counterintelligence agencies. When the Army, Navy, or Air 1910 01:50:13.359 --> 01:50:17.279 Force dedicate assets to their individual priorities, they aren't necessarily 1911 01:50:17.439 --> 01:50:20.760 leveraging them against the counter intelligence activities that matter most 1912 01:50:20.760 --> 01:50:23.760 to the nation. A combined agency would also allow for 1913 01:50:23.800 --> 01:50:29.279 a broad campaign that are difficult to coordinate across desperate agencies. 1914 01:50:29.720 --> 01:50:32.960 Creating two counterintelligence agencies, one focused on military and one 1915 01:50:32.960 --> 01:50:36.720 that assumes the FBI's mission ensures policymakers aren't forced to 1916 01:50:36.720 --> 01:50:41.279 make decisions based on single agencies conclusions. The US already 1917 01:50:41.319 --> 01:50:45.680 uses this model for intelligence analysis. The CIA and Defense 1918 01:50:45.720 --> 01:50:51.479 Intelligence Agency are often produced independent analysis from the same 1919 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:55.880 set of facts. America's counterintelligence failure has not cost the 1920 01:50:55.960 --> 01:50:59.760 nation jobs put the lives of service members at risks. 1921 01:51:00.600 --> 01:51:03.760 It has costs. Excuse me, it has cost the nation's jobs. 1922 01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:06.800 It has put the lives of service members at risks. 1923 01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:11.119 It's eroded our strategic advantage and emboldened our adversaries. The 1924 01:51:11.239 --> 01:51:15.079 losses are staggering, but because they all occur quietly and 1925 01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:17.520 out of side of the American public, there hasn't been 1926 01:51:17.560 --> 01:51:21.119 an outcry to fix the problem. So essentially, they're saying 1927 01:51:21.159 --> 01:51:24.239 that they want to combine certain things and make our 1928 01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:27.960 intelligence agencies as far as the counter intel is concerned, 1929 01:51:28.479 --> 01:51:31.239 which is the spy versus spy games. Just we're all 1930 01:51:31.239 --> 01:51:35.039 clear they want that to be done by a new agency, 1931 01:51:35.680 --> 01:51:38.000 and that agency will be split up into two sections, 1932 01:51:38.000 --> 01:51:42.520 one for military, one for domestic. So will this take off, 1933 01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:45.119 will it become a thing? I don't know. I don't 1934 01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:48.479 know it's being proposed though, and I'm not inherently against 1935 01:51:48.560 --> 01:51:52.680 it just on the onset here, but it's to combat 1936 01:51:52.800 --> 01:51:55.479 China more than anything else, which once again I feel 1937 01:51:55.479 --> 01:51:57.560 like we need to hear from our resident Hong Kong 1938 01:51:57.600 --> 01:52:01.039 correspondent on that I know trying don't trust China is 1939 01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:07.000 ass Ho agreed. So now, speaking of China, let's talk 1940 01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:10.640 about this. So some of the cracks that penetrated through 1941 01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:15.000 Chinese astronauts revealed new details about the spacecraft that quote 1942 01:52:15.039 --> 01:52:18.960 unquote stranded them in space last year. So as much 1943 01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:22.319 as they are stealing American intellectual property and all these 1944 01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:24.600 things that some of that China is doing, this is 1945 01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:31.199 not a joke confirmed. Apparently these astronauts that were stranded 1946 01:52:31.239 --> 01:52:34.560 in space are now speaking about what happened to get 1947 01:52:34.560 --> 01:52:37.399 them stranded in the first place. It's what we're talking about. 1948 01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:41.279 I think. Crew members of China's shin Zu twenty mission 1949 01:52:41.319 --> 01:52:45.079 recently detailed their reaction upon finding cracks in their spacecraft's 1950 01:52:45.159 --> 01:52:49.600 viewport during the nation's first spaceflight emergency. It has been 1951 01:52:49.640 --> 01:52:52.640 billed as China's first emergency operation in the country's human 1952 01:52:52.640 --> 01:52:58.800 spaceflight program. The three astronauts or Taycho konauts is that 1953 01:52:58.840 --> 01:53:02.159 what they're calling them. There, So America we have astronauts, 1954 01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:11.520 Russia has cosmonauts, China has taychoonots, Taicho knots nuts, tycho 1955 01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:15.479 ds nuts well, okay, anyway. Of China's Shizu twenty eight 1956 01:53:15.520 --> 01:53:18.600 mission were originally slated to return to Earth last November fifth, 1957 01:53:19.000 --> 01:53:21.600 but after discovering cracks in the viewpoint of their spacecraft, 1958 01:53:21.600 --> 01:53:26.439 their landing was postponed. Chen Dong Oh Jesus Fucking, commander 1959 01:53:26.479 --> 01:53:29.399 of the Shinzo twenty crew, first noticed the damage to 1960 01:53:29.520 --> 01:53:32.840 the window while conducting final checks to the return capsule, 1961 01:53:33.199 --> 01:53:37.199 the believed culprit space debris striking the window. The incident 1962 01:53:37.239 --> 01:53:39.359 meant the crew had to ride back to Earth in 1963 01:53:39.399 --> 01:53:43.600 an alternative spacecraft, the Shinzo twenty one vehicle that their 1964 01:53:43.640 --> 01:53:47.159 relief crew rode to orbit. The crew returned safely, and 1965 01:53:47.199 --> 01:53:50.000 their space grave was eventually brought back to Earth uncrewed, 1966 01:53:50.079 --> 01:53:53.720 after another was sent up by Tangong Space Station for 1967 01:53:53.960 --> 01:53:56.239 the other three astronauts a board. So, y'all, remember we 1968 01:53:56.279 --> 01:54:00.920 talked about this, right, These three astronauts were stranded in 1969 01:54:00.960 --> 01:54:04.319 space or the techonats whatever, were stranded in space. They 1970 01:54:04.359 --> 01:54:07.199 couldn't come home. So China's response was to send a 1971 01:54:07.239 --> 01:54:10.359 craft up there with three astronauts and basically do a 1972 01:54:10.359 --> 01:54:13.520 hot swap. So now there's three other dudes that are 1973 01:54:13.600 --> 01:54:16.359 up there right now, currently stranded, and the three that 1974 01:54:16.399 --> 01:54:20.800 were stranded rode back home. Because crazy concept, Why didn't 1975 01:54:20.800 --> 01:54:24.319 you just bring a craft with six seats and bring 1976 01:54:24.359 --> 01:54:28.279 those three homies home and not leave people stranded up there? 1977 01:54:29.520 --> 01:54:32.560 This sounds like a wild, wild, mind blowing concept, but 1978 01:54:32.640 --> 01:54:37.359 China don't be caring, So anyway, continue on here. The 1979 01:54:37.399 --> 01:54:39.319 incident the crew had, Oh we talked about that already, 1980 01:54:39.319 --> 01:54:42.479 all right. Crew members of the Shinzu twenty mission recently 1981 01:54:42.479 --> 01:54:46.039 detailed their reactions and finding cracks in their return capsule viewport. 1982 01:54:46.319 --> 01:54:48.960 In a detailed interview with China Media Group aired by 1983 01:54:49.039 --> 01:54:52.640 China Central Television, the astronauts elaborated how they discovered the 1984 01:54:52.680 --> 01:54:55.439 cracks on the viewport one day before they're planned return. 1985 01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:58.640 So these are the three. These three were stranded up 1986 01:54:58.680 --> 01:55:02.439 there and pretty much they were running out of resources, food, everything, 1987 01:55:03.239 --> 01:55:05.920 and China did a hot swap. So there's that. So 1988 01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:11.600 the window anomaly. China rocketed the Shinzu twenty crew Chin Dong, Chin, 1989 01:55:12.000 --> 01:55:17.279 zongru Yee, and Wang g Jesus these names into Earth's 1990 01:55:17.359 --> 01:55:20.359 orbit on April twenty four to twenty twenty five, sent 1991 01:55:20.399 --> 01:55:23.720 spaceword on a projected six month mission. The trio linked 1992 01:55:23.760 --> 01:55:27.000 up with the country's Tangong space station. As mission commander 1993 01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:30.000 for the Shinzu twenty, Chin said he was the one 1994 01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:33.880 who went for checking out the return craft. During that work, 1995 01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:36.359 I s this direct quote. I spotted something like a 1996 01:55:36.399 --> 01:55:42.960 triangular triangular. I spotted something like a triangular yeah, on 1997 01:55:43.000 --> 01:55:46.359 the viewport. My first thought was whether a small leaf 1998 01:55:46.640 --> 01:55:49.520 had somehow stuck to the outside of the window. A 1999 01:55:49.600 --> 01:55:54.920 leaf in space? Dog what? Or you think that that 2000 01:55:55.079 --> 01:55:58.159 leaf somehow was on the window for the entire flight 2001 01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:01.119 and breaking through the appear and all that. It just 2002 01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:05.600 never okay? Sure, But then I quickly realized that couldn't 2003 01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:10.479 happen because we were in space. Holy shit, he figured 2004 01:56:10.520 --> 01:56:12.479 it out. He figured out, what is there a leaf? 2005 01:56:12.560 --> 01:56:15.640 Wait a minute, there can't be a leaf. We're in space. 2006 01:56:16.319 --> 01:56:19.600 This is China's best and brider Shaw, this is China's 2007 01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:24.760 astronauts fucking space cadets here. How could there possibly be 2008 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:29.399 a fallen leaf there? This? Wow? This is their commander, dude, 2009 01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:35.760 this is their commander. That's incredible. This guy's fucking brilliant. 2010 01:56:36.319 --> 01:56:39.079 Chin pointed out the window anomaly to his two other colleagues, 2011 01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:41.600 also in ready mode for their return trick to Earth. 2012 01:56:42.199 --> 01:56:45.359 So anyway, they made their way back. Cool, cool, cool. 2013 01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:47.960 We talked about this already. They basically did a hot 2014 01:56:48.000 --> 01:56:51.680 swap with three other dudes, and now they're stuck up there. So, hey, 2015 01:56:51.840 --> 01:56:55.439 what do you gotta do? You know, you know, I 2016 01:56:55.479 --> 01:56:57.199 have this other thing I wanted to talk about. We 2017 01:56:57.199 --> 01:56:59.880 don't really have to, but I do feel like, once again, 2018 01:57:00.079 --> 01:57:03.039 the China's thing, A leaf was on the outside of 2019 01:57:03.039 --> 01:57:05.279 the window. But wait a minute, they can't be there. 2020 01:57:05.720 --> 01:57:08.600 We're in space. Once again, I feel like we can't 2021 01:57:08.640 --> 01:57:11.840 say this enough. Donald Trump, don't trust China. China is 2022 01:57:11.920 --> 01:57:18.359 ass ho fully fully anyway, moving on, so the exbat 2023 01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:23.840 drone fighter quote unquote, will begin VTOL flight testing in 2024 01:57:23.960 --> 01:57:28.800 Kansas this year. This is pretty sick. Honestly, if you're 2025 01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:31.439 not a nerd for aircraft or anything like that, I 2026 01:57:31.479 --> 01:57:36.600 get it. But this new fighter drone is pretty dope looking. 2027 01:57:37.119 --> 01:57:37.199 So. 2028 01:57:37.399 --> 01:57:40.760 In an update from our exclusive in depth feature on 2029 01:57:40.840 --> 01:57:44.720 shield AI's hugely ambitious x BAT vertical takeoff and landing 2030 01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:48.479 drone fighter quote unquote, the firm tells us that they 2031 01:57:48.520 --> 01:57:53.840 will begin fighter testing near Newton, Kansas this year. Armer Harris, 2032 01:57:53.840 --> 01:57:56.680 senior vice president and general manager of the company's growing 2033 01:57:56.720 --> 01:57:59.479 aircraft division who is also the father quote unquote of 2034 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:03.520 x BAT, TOLDOS on the floor of AFA's Warfare CYS 2035 01:58:03.520 --> 01:58:07.520 symposium in Denver today that the aircraft central differentiator is 2036 01:58:07.920 --> 01:58:11.079 its ability to launch and recover vertically. Will be a 2037 01:58:11.119 --> 01:58:14.520 central focus of the early test flight. The stakes are 2038 01:58:14.520 --> 01:58:17.079 incredibly high for shield AI when it comes to XBAT. 2039 01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:19.520 They are trying to do something nobody else is offering 2040 01:58:19.600 --> 01:58:23.119 in the high performance air combat drone sector. XBAT could 2041 01:58:23.199 --> 01:58:27.760 drastically change the flexibility and survivability of advanced uncrewed tactical 2042 01:58:27.840 --> 01:58:32.560 air power, but achieving stealth a large combat radius a 2043 01:58:32.680 --> 01:58:35.640 relevant payload and doing it all at a cost that 2044 01:58:35.720 --> 01:58:38.560 doesn't send the Department of War running to is no 2045 01:58:38.840 --> 01:58:42.680 easy task, especially for a young airframeer like shield Ai. 2046 01:58:43.319 --> 01:58:47.079 Now doing all that and launching the recover and recovering 2047 01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:52.039 it vertically from basically anywhere, that's a whole other level, which, 2048 01:58:52.760 --> 01:58:55.920 with such a lofty goal comes doubters who think Shieldai 2049 01:58:56.119 --> 01:58:59.760 is reaching outside their capabilities with the xbat concept. Surely 2050 01:58:59.760 --> 01:59:02.520 these include competitors who would have a hard time arguing 2051 01:59:02.520 --> 01:59:06.199 for their air combat solutions if xbat were to exist 2052 01:59:06.239 --> 01:59:09.840 in operational form and capable of things. Shield Ai claims, 2053 01:59:10.159 --> 01:59:12.199 there's a little video here. I kind of want to 2054 01:59:12.199 --> 01:59:13.439 see if we could play it and see what this 2055 01:59:13.520 --> 01:59:15.920 looks like. Yeah, it's only two minutes and forty three seconds. 2056 01:59:15.960 --> 01:59:22.359 Let's check it out. Okay, So it's like a it's 2057 01:59:22.359 --> 01:59:25.800 like the expat commercial for lack of better words here. 2058 01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:32.159 So for anybody who's not seeing this, you need to 2059 01:59:32.199 --> 01:59:34.199 be on patreon dot com slash cage at night to 2060 01:59:34.239 --> 01:59:37.199 see what we're looking at here. It's a you know, 2061 01:59:37.279 --> 01:59:42.119 AI or CGI video here. But let's see. We got 2062 01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:46.319 an altitude of about eighteen hundred feet, a climb rate 2063 01:59:46.359 --> 01:59:52.319 of four five feet per second. Excuse me, Wow, it's 2064 01:59:52.319 --> 01:59:54.880 a very small profile. The link is twenty three feet, 2065 01:59:55.199 --> 01:59:59.600 it's under five feet tall as a ceiling of fifty 2066 01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:08.960 thousand and feet. That's impressive. Max range is two thousand 2067 02:00:09.039 --> 02:00:20.279 nautical miles. That's impressive. Let's see multi multi capability load out, 2068 02:00:21.960 --> 02:00:32.399 electronic warfare suit, the toll capable inlet, resilient combs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2069 02:00:32.520 --> 02:00:39.520 thrust vectoring split flaps for elevators. Fighter class engine so yeah, 2070 02:00:39.520 --> 02:00:43.079 technically this would be a fighter active and passive targeting, 2071 02:00:43.560 --> 02:00:46.079 multi mode radar. So it's got all the bells and whistles, 2072 02:00:46.840 --> 02:00:52.760 internal fuel tanks that's important, modular avionics bay, and it's 2073 02:00:52.800 --> 02:00:56.319 powered by Hive Mind, which is an AI. So okay, 2074 02:00:56.960 --> 02:00:58.800 and granted I am not a huge fan of AI. 2075 02:00:59.000 --> 02:01:02.039 This terrifies me and regard but also as far as 2076 02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:04.640 our military is concerned, you're telling me that we could 2077 02:01:04.640 --> 02:01:07.920 have an attack fighter that could do bombing missions and 2078 02:01:07.960 --> 02:01:12.680 things like this that if it's if it's accurate, and 2079 02:01:12.720 --> 02:01:14.439 if this is gonna be cheaper than the other air 2080 02:01:14.479 --> 02:01:17.000 platforms that like Lockheed Martin and Bowing were able to 2081 02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:19.600 put out, this could change the game as far as 2082 02:01:19.680 --> 02:01:22.520 air superiority goes. I'm not saying that with one hundred 2083 02:01:22.520 --> 02:01:27.319 percent certainty, but it's definitely within the conversation I think. Anyway, 2084 02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:29.279 I did want to bring this up the ex bat. 2085 02:01:29.319 --> 02:01:30.760 I thought it was cool as hell, And if you're 2086 02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:33.680 not too familiar with it, check out the ex bat 2087 02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:35.720 drone on your own and let me know what y'all 2088 02:01:35.760 --> 02:01:38.359 think about it. Be honest with you. Before we wrap up, 2089 02:01:38.359 --> 02:01:39.720 I'm gonna go ahead and check the chat here. We 2090 02:01:39.800 --> 02:01:43.159 got forty five messages good night. I'm feeling like most 2091 02:01:43.159 --> 02:01:45.560 of that was probably y'all just talking shit. Honestly, I 2092 02:01:45.560 --> 02:01:51.319 don't know. Let's see, uh yeah, for the most part. 2093 02:01:51.760 --> 02:01:53.600 For the most part, yoh, I see shit talking about 2094 02:01:53.600 --> 02:01:56.960 the Torah? What is this? Return much later, possibly after 2095 02:01:57.000 --> 02:01:59.560 Sarah died. Yeah, y'all talking things about the Bible and 2096 02:01:59.600 --> 02:02:02.920 about the horror. You're talking religious things, talking about some 2097 02:02:02.960 --> 02:02:06.640 gas prices, I see, Oh God say the hot wheels 2098 02:02:06.640 --> 02:02:12.600 mean that was mean? Anyway? Oh, it's funny as fuck. 2099 02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:16.399 But yeah, I sent something down there. It's in a 2100 02:02:16.399 --> 02:02:19.239 big paragraph. I think you would interest It would really 2101 02:02:19.279 --> 02:02:26.600 interest you, especially for the Code of Conspiracy because it 2102 02:02:26.720 --> 02:02:33.680 involves cameras in nineteen twenty Soviet Russia and China. I yeah, 2103 02:02:33.760 --> 02:02:37.239 I have definitely started, uh going down a rabbit home 2104 02:02:37.760 --> 02:02:39.359 for an episode for myself. 2105 02:02:40.159 --> 02:02:42.520 I have been I heard about this. The they were 2106 02:02:42.560 --> 02:02:44.800 trying to basically find a way to make a half 2107 02:02:44.920 --> 02:02:48.520 chimp half human hybrid. I don't know how far they 2108 02:02:48.600 --> 02:02:50.439 really got. I heard about the program, and I know 2109 02:02:50.479 --> 02:02:52.840 there was some testing that was done, but I don't 2110 02:02:52.840 --> 02:02:54.560 know if they actually ever produced the offspring. 2111 02:02:55.319 --> 02:02:59.960 So allegedly, I came mad. This comes from China allegedly, 2112 02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:03.119 so you got you you have? This is like right 2113 02:03:03.600 --> 02:03:10.960 at the cultural revolution. So the they allegedly got a chimpanzee, 2114 02:03:11.159 --> 02:03:16.159 a female chimp, pregnant and it died of neglect that 2115 02:03:16.279 --> 02:03:20.039 three months pregnancy. It was pregnant for three months at 2116 02:03:20.039 --> 02:03:23.439 this point when it died because they at that at 2117 02:03:23.439 --> 02:03:34.079 that point, Oh, I want to say, it's a mousing. Yeah, uh, 2118 02:03:34.199 --> 02:03:38.199 he takes power. Cultural revolution happens and the scientists that 2119 02:03:38.279 --> 02:03:41.239 are running this experiment they get sent to diet at 2120 02:03:41.279 --> 02:03:47.399 a walk camp. And because yeah, China threw their brightest 2121 02:03:47.520 --> 02:03:56.640 scientists into slavery. But yeah, so they got a chimpanzee 2122 02:03:56.680 --> 02:04:02.159 pregnant by a human and yeah, it died at three 2123 02:04:02.199 --> 02:04:07.720 months pregnancy, so it was a third of the way there. Okay, 2124 02:04:08.239 --> 02:04:12.479 So I'll look into what you wish. I think it's interesting. 2125 02:04:12.840 --> 02:04:16.000 I think it is too so you can't trust. 2126 02:04:15.720 --> 02:04:20.119 China at the en Plus, their food is like really cheap. 2127 02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:22.920 If you want good, like a luxury Asian thing, I 2128 02:04:23.000 --> 02:04:24.439 recommend Korean barbecue. 2129 02:04:24.479 --> 02:04:31.119 But I'm biased, I feel that. I feel that. But anyway, Yeah, 2130 02:04:31.319 --> 02:04:33.439 I'll definitely check this out. It may not be an 2131 02:04:33.479 --> 02:04:36.119 episode this week. Actually I know it won't. We already 2132 02:04:36.159 --> 02:04:39.479 have the deck slated. But uh, I'll look into it 2133 02:04:39.479 --> 02:04:40.720 and see what I can find. As far as the 2134 02:04:40.760 --> 02:04:43.239 half human half champ chimeras that were made in China, 2135 02:04:43.840 --> 02:04:44.079 I think. 2136 02:04:45.239 --> 02:04:50.199 But this originates in Russia and he goes into UH 2137 02:04:50.399 --> 02:04:52.880 in the nineteen twenties, and the guy who did this 2138 02:04:53.439 --> 02:05:01.239 he gets exiled into the Soviet Kazakh So Kazakh, Yeah, 2139 02:05:01.359 --> 02:05:04.319 and then he he gets put up at the. 2140 02:05:04.239 --> 02:05:07.000 Head of another zoo to continue this. 2141 02:05:07.439 --> 02:05:11.399 Then he dies. But there's also the thing about his 2142 02:05:11.520 --> 02:05:15.000 death is monkey because there's there's UH theories that hey, 2143 02:05:15.119 --> 02:05:17.560 he actually faked his death and went down to the 2144 02:05:17.600 --> 02:05:22.920 Congo to start up his h his thing and that. Yeah, 2145 02:05:22.960 --> 02:05:24.119 so it's really cool. 2146 02:05:25.039 --> 02:05:28.479 I will definitely look into this thing, so the tip brother, yes, sir. 2147 02:05:28.920 --> 02:05:29.000 So. 2148 02:05:29.079 --> 02:05:31.279 Anyway, as we wrapped this episode, we talked about all 2149 02:05:31.359 --> 02:05:33.479 kinds of things, primarily about the State of the Union 2150 02:05:33.479 --> 02:05:36.279 address that took place.
