Speaker 1: Beny like you just let.
Speaker 2: Me eat my way.
Speaker 3: Hello World A Blaze listeners, Welcome to episode seventy one.
Speaker 4: I'm recording on.
Speaker 3: This day, Sunday, April sixth, twenty twenty five. I tell
Speaker 3: you the data is recording because it's important because as
Speaker 3: of last night or early morning, depending on your time
Speaker 3: zone in the world, Russia launched a large scale attack
Speaker 3: on Ukraine. They have launched various missiles against Ukraine on
Speaker 3: six territories, which includes their capital Kiev. And to this day,
Speaker 3: as of this recording, so far, I've been sitting I've
Speaker 3: been monitoring social media, legacy media outlets, etc. And there
Speaker 3: hasn't been one peep from any European nation, not that
Speaker 3: I have seen yet, and especially of note, nothing from
Speaker 3: the UK or from France, the two most critical nations
Speaker 3: against the USA and Trump for allegedly not doing enough
Speaker 3: in the fight for Ukraine against Russia in this conflict.
Speaker 3: Yet today, so far, thus far, nothing from Europe, nothing
Speaker 3: from UK, nothing from France. Why is this important Because
Speaker 3: in all their criticism and all their criticism about US
Speaker 3: involvement and about Trump's actions and stance on the Ukraine war,
Speaker 3: as of late, they have committed, they have stated. Both
Speaker 3: Starmer and Macron have stated that they are ready to
Speaker 3: send troops boots on the ground in support of Ukraine,
Speaker 3: especially if anything escalates. Not that long ago, France was
Speaker 3: going on a European tour. President Emmanuel Macron has been
Speaker 3: doing everything he can to rally Europe against Russia, and
Speaker 3: much of that messaging included not just sending weaponry, but
Speaker 3: actually putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, on the
Speaker 3: front lines to fight against Russia. Yet today, after last
Speaker 3: night's attack, the night before today's recording, which is April six,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, today there hasn't been one word, not
Speaker 3: one statement of condolences, nothing. The only person who said
Speaker 3: anything today and very well should say anything, because they
Speaker 3: were just attack has been President Vladimer Zelenski, president of
Speaker 3: the Ukraine, and of course he would make a statement
Speaker 3: he was just bombed. Missiles were just sent against his country,
Speaker 3: six regions, including his capital. And what makes this attack
Speaker 3: more egregious is not that Russia just broke a broker ceasefire,
Speaker 3: a ceasefire that was meant to let each side get
Speaker 3: their thoughts together and come together to broker a peace deal.
Speaker 3: But that Russia broke this ceasefire agreement by targeting civilians,
Speaker 3: not military targets, but civilians indiscriminately. We're talking cities populated
Speaker 3: by civilians. Houses destroyed, high rises destroyed, downtown area is destroyed.
Speaker 3: Because Putin is a liar. Putin doesn't care. Putin wants
Speaker 3: to take over control and own Ukraine because in Putin's eyes,
Speaker 3: it has always been part of Russia. Putin has always
Speaker 3: made it very clear that he wants to reunite old glory,
Speaker 3: that being the old USSR and Ukraine is part of
Speaker 3: his plan. But to get back to France in the
Speaker 3: UK for being so critical of the US and especially
Speaker 3: after last night's attack, what exactly are you doing?
Speaker 4: What are you doing to thwart Russia's efforts?
Speaker 3: The answer being exactly the answer that I have given
Speaker 3: many times, which is absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4: It's all huff and puff, you see.
Speaker 3: It's all about getting pats on the back, getting confirmed
Speaker 3: as a good person, a good leader, a good country.
Speaker 3: And I am mainly talking about UK and France since
Speaker 3: they are the most critical and arguably maybe the most
Speaker 3: powerf European nations, but yet have done nothing, absolutely nothing,
Speaker 3: for all the criticism they haven't made one statement. I
Speaker 3: haven't seen any troops being sent anywhere, but they were
Speaker 3: anxious to broker a deal with Ukraine. In fact, if
Speaker 3: you listen to this show regularly, you know that I've
Speaker 3: already reported that the UK signed a one hundred year
Speaker 3: deal to support Ukraine. They did so on January twenty
Speaker 3: six of twenty twenty five, well before they heated and
Speaker 3: contested argument between Zelensky, President Trump and JD. Vance, which
Speaker 3: was publicized live on a broadcast. Long before that, the
Speaker 3: UK already signed and brokeer to deal, part of which
Speaker 3: included mineral rights, developing their economy using Britain, the British
Speaker 3: banking system, and British trade partners, something that went unreported
Speaker 3: for whatever reason. Yet the United States was criticized and
Speaker 3: called the bad guy, the threat to democracy for trying
Speaker 3: to do the same or similar thing with the Ukraine,
Speaker 3: but instead offering the Ukraine much more money and profit
Speaker 3: off of the process minerals which would also include a
Speaker 3: presence of US personnel on Ukraine and soil. But maybe
Speaker 3: I'm just digressing, And if you want to know more
Speaker 3: about that, all you have to do is go to
Speaker 3: the UK's government website and just do a search for
Speaker 3: this one hundred year deal and you will find it.
Speaker 4: It'll pop right up. That's right there.
Speaker 3: So after last night's attack, here's a statement made by
Speaker 3: Voladimir Zelensky, and this has been reported in Reuter's and
Speaker 3: I'm reading this directly from his social media account on
Speaker 3: x Now, I'm gonna admit I'm horrible at pronouncing the
Speaker 3: names of most these regions, but just be assured there
Speaker 3: was six, which also included a Kiev.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to just skip the.
Speaker 3: Very first part of this because I don't want to
Speaker 3: do it as service to Ukraine and to these regions
Speaker 3: that were attacked. But it goes on to read that
Speaker 3: the number of air attacks is increasing. This is how
Speaker 3: Russia reveals its true intentions to continue the terror for
Speaker 3: as long as the world allows it. Over the past week,
Speaker 3: they launched more than fourteen hundred sixty guided aerial bombs,
Speaker 3: nearly six hundred and seventy attack drones, and over thirty
Speaker 3: missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and villages against
Speaker 3: our people. More than twenty of them took place just
Speaker 3: last night. Every strike targets are people, our children, they're
Speaker 3: waging war against children playing on playgrounds. My condolences to
Speaker 3: all the families and loved ones of the victims. I
Speaker 3: think all of our services who are helping and saving Ukrainians.
Speaker 3: These attacks are Putin's response to all international diplomatic efforts.
Speaker 3: Each of our partners, the United States, all of Europe,
Speaker 3: entire world has seen that Russia intends to continue the
Speaker 3: war and the killing. That is why there could be
Speaker 3: no easing of pressure. All efforts must be aimed at
Speaker 3: guaranteeing security and bringing peace closer now again, Thus far,
Speaker 3: as of this recording, there hasn't been a single response
Speaker 3: from a European nation.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Reuters has also reported on this. Actually, many news outlets
Speaker 3: have reported about this attack, and Poland remains on high
Speaker 3: alert as their borders are right there and extremely close
Speaker 3: to these attacks. In fact, they've deployed their air force
Speaker 3: just in case they had to retaliate or even protect themselves.
Speaker 3: But thus far, the NATO nation remains on alert now well.
Speaker 3: President Emmanuel Macron of France has stated many times that
Speaker 3: he's willing to send troops to help Ukraine, putting actual
Speaker 3: troops on the ground in Ukraine on the front lines
Speaker 3: to fight against Russia. He has done nothing thus far,
Speaker 3: nothing and again hasn't made one statement in regard to
Speaker 3: this attack on Ukraine that just happened last night. And
Speaker 3: also before this, Pm Kurs Starmer has done the same.
Speaker 3: Prime Minister of Britain or the UK has said the
Speaker 3: same thing. In fact, I got a little clip of
Speaker 3: him saying just as much. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: The UK has prepared to back this with boots on
Speaker 1: the ground and planes in the air, together with others.
Speaker 1: Europe must do the heavy listing.
Speaker 4: Okay, so there you go.
Speaker 3: Even Prime Minister Starmer is saying the UK and Europe,
Speaker 3: meaning his European allies, which include France and everyone else,
Speaker 3: part of this little coalition right now that is anti
Speaker 3: America and wants to come together to do the heavy
Speaker 3: lifting in defense of Ukraine to push back on Russia.
Speaker 3: Even he admits they can't do it without the support
Speaker 3: of the US. Funny how they all stand strong and
Speaker 3: are critical of the United States for not stepping in
Speaker 3: or apparently doing enough, but yet they themselves will admit
Speaker 3: that they can't even do it on their own either.
Speaker 1: Put to support peace in our continent and to succeed
Speaker 1: this effort must have strong US backing.
Speaker 4: So there you have it.
Speaker 3: So the reality is protecting Ukraine pushing back on Russia
Speaker 3: is not going to happen unless everybody's on the same page,
Speaker 3: we all get involved. So the question is at this point,
Speaker 3: as much as Trump wants to broker a peace deal,
Speaker 3: which Putin is obviously not willing to engage in, not
Speaker 3: even willing to consider it because if he did, why
Speaker 3: would he even break the ceasefire? Putin does not care
Speaker 3: about peace. Putin cares about reclaiming Ukraine. Putin cares about
Speaker 3: pressing on past Ukraine and resurrecting the old ussr which
Speaker 3: has always been his dream, which has always been his dream,
Speaker 3: and he stayed this many times in the past. So
Speaker 3: is it now time for the US to step up?
Speaker 3: Is it time for us to get involved, to step in?
Speaker 3: And what does that look like? Do we need to
Speaker 3: send troops or do we need to resupply Ukraine with
Speaker 3: advanced weaponry so that they even have a chance against Russia.
Speaker 3: Now Russia themselves are in trouble financially, they can't afford
Speaker 3: to keep this war going. There are many out there
Speaker 3: who've assessed that Russia's economy is now in a state
Speaker 3: of well a wartime economy that without this war, they
Speaker 3: can't necessarily stop the war, for example, because then their
Speaker 3: economy will just crash because the only thing keeping it going.
Speaker 3: So how do we end this war if we're not
Speaker 3: going to use troops, if we're not going to use
Speaker 3: continuous a continued supply of weapons to Ukraine, it would
Speaker 3: have to be economically financially. Are sanctions enough No, because
Speaker 3: sanctions have proven to do nothing. People who want to
Speaker 3: do business with Russia and Russia in general, who wants
Speaker 3: to sell their goods or find ways to make money,
Speaker 3: We'll find a way. Hence why bricks was even started
Speaker 3: to begin with, It was a way for Russia to
Speaker 3: work around sanctions. And so there's always a way. Russia
Speaker 3: will find a way to continue to carry out its
Speaker 3: campaign and its efforts. They just don't care. They're going
Speaker 3: to find a way.
Speaker 4: But the EU can help out even more.
Speaker 3: One of the biggest, the biggest exports that Russia has
Speaker 3: is natural gas, and so Europe committed not too long
Speaker 3: ago to cutting this off. They're like, look, we're going
Speaker 3: to hit them where it hurts. We're gonna hit Russia's wallet,
Speaker 3: We're no longer going to buy their gas. But the
Speaker 3: issue with that is the European nations have not been
Speaker 3: very strategic and putting together a concise plan which all
Speaker 3: European nicians will agree on and stick to. While some
Speaker 3: nations have cut out the purchase of gas altogether from Russia,
Speaker 3: Poland being one of those nations, others have not. Others
Speaker 3: have not weaned themselves off. And from a report that
Speaker 3: I got from Brugle, I believe it's pronounced Brugle, it
Speaker 3: is spelled b r u e g El, they actually
Speaker 3: touch on this topic and here's the state of play.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna read a small snippet of this report, but
Speaker 3: they go on to say that in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: Russia supplied the EU with one hundred and fifty seven
Speaker 3: billion cubic meters or bcm of gas, about half of
Speaker 3: the EU's gas imports. Again, I'm going to say that again,
Speaker 3: half of the EU's gas imports came from Russia. They
Speaker 3: go on to state that the EU imported most Russian
Speaker 3: gas via four pipelines, which was Nordstream, one Ukrainian gas Transit,
Speaker 3: Jamal and turk Stream, and liquefied natural gas shipments, So
Speaker 3: by twenty twenty four Russian gas imports they had fallen
Speaker 3: to fifty four billion cubic meters or bcms, which accounted
Speaker 3: for eighteen percent of the EU gas imports. But they
Speaker 3: also go on to state that this drop was primarily
Speaker 3: driven by Russian supply cuts rather than actions that were
Speaker 3: actually taken by U countries. So the EU is not
Speaker 3: doing them any favors or themselves any favors by continuing
Speaker 3: to do business with Russia, by continuing to give them
Speaker 3: money to bolster their economy by buying gas from Russia.
Speaker 3: They continue to do so, and while there was a
Speaker 3: little bit of a dip at the end of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, imports and purchases from Russia into the YOU
Speaker 3: actually went up. So if the goal is to find
Speaker 3: a non military solution, or to not commit to a
Speaker 3: military solution and pushing Russia back and getting them to
Speaker 3: abandon their efforts against Ukraine, then the EU needs to
Speaker 3: be united and completely cutting off Russia, stop purchasing from them,
Speaker 3: stop giving them money in any way. Now, Russia may
Speaker 3: find other areas and other countries to do business with,
Speaker 3: namely Iran, for example. But Europe themselves buys a lot
Speaker 3: of gas, a lot of natural resources from Russia. And
Speaker 3: at this point, if they're truly serious and truly committed,
Speaker 3: and yet not committed enough to actually send troops as
Speaker 3: they say they would. All through last year, by the way,
Speaker 3: through twenty twenty four, there's been whispers from the UK
Speaker 3: and from France, etc. That Oh, we're ready to send troops,
Speaker 3: We're ready to commit, We're ready to stand ground with
Speaker 3: Ukraine against Russia. Get nothing, even after last night's attack. Nothing,
Speaker 3: not a peep, nothing, So you have no power.
Speaker 4: You are liars.
Speaker 3: You're not ready to do what it takes to push
Speaker 3: back against Russia. Why because the reality is nobody wants
Speaker 3: a World War three event, and yes, that is a
Speaker 3: real world scenario that we're facing. One of the reasons
Speaker 3: President Trumps has been apprehensive and getting too involved because
Speaker 3: he knows that if America commits boots on the ground,
Speaker 3: that the retaliation not from Russian necessarily, but also China, Iran,
Speaker 3: North Korea, all the bad actors that support Russia and
Speaker 3: back Russia will get involved. Now, the only thing that
Speaker 3: would happen is if we got involved, If we were
Speaker 3: the first people to get in there and actually push
Speaker 3: back on Russia. Maybe possibly the UK and France would
Speaker 3: both actually grow enough balls to get involved, especially for
Speaker 3: something that is knocking on their back door.
Speaker 4: We're talking, we're talking, we're.
Speaker 3: Talking a major aggressor against democracy, as they say, right
Speaker 3: there in their own backyard, that they fail fail to
Speaker 3: do anything about because, as Starmar said earlier in that
Speaker 3: video club I played, they absolutely need the backing of
Speaker 3: the United States of America to be effective because they
Speaker 3: know that they can't stand on their own. So my
Speaker 3: message to Europe is stop pandering, stop shaking hands, kissing
Speaker 3: babies and looking to get reassured that you're the good
Speaker 3: guys in this whole thing, that you're the good guys
Speaker 3: against the big beat Russian aggression. Because you're not. You're
Speaker 3: doing nothing. It's going to take all of us to
Speaker 3: push back on Russia. And right now, the only thing
Speaker 3: keeping any of us getting involved, if we're being honest,
Speaker 3: is a nuclear retaliation from Russia and the fact that
Speaker 3: if we step foot, if we step foot into this conflict,
Speaker 3: we now face the aggression and the large military might
Speaker 3: of China, and of course now we have Iran to
Speaker 3: deal with, and we have North Korea to deal with,
Speaker 3: and we have just stepped into a massive World War
Speaker 3: three event. So the only thing we can do to
Speaker 3: stay united and to exert any pressure on Russia is
Speaker 3: to just bleed them dry. We need to stand together
Speaker 3: all nations. Look, sanctions don't mean a damn thing. It's
Speaker 3: been proven. Russia always finds a way, Iran finds every
Speaker 3: bad actor that is against democracy finds a way, They
Speaker 3: find a way to get money. But we need to
Speaker 3: stand firm. Sanctions aren't enough. Literally, stop buying from Russia. Literally,
Speaker 3: stop giving them money for anything. That's the only thing
Speaker 3: that's going to end this war if we're not committed
Speaker 3: to get involved militarily, and thus far nobody really is committed.
Speaker 3: Now getting back over to the US, a big event happened,
Speaker 3: A big event that was mobilized by the Hands Off
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five organization, which was a massive protest, a
Speaker 3: massive protest that was vehemently against Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Well,
Speaker 3: I do tip my hat to the organizers for bringing
Speaker 3: so many people together. The reports ask to how many
Speaker 3: people attend, did how many different protests, etc. Are yet
Speaker 3: to be verified. In fact, many news outlets have different numbers.
Speaker 3: None of them can seem to align on how many
Speaker 3: people or exactly how many different protests there were. CNN,
Speaker 3: for example, they report that there were nearly six hundred
Speaker 3: thousand people who signed up to attend the events, some
Speaker 3: of which took place in major CITs like London Paris,
Speaker 3: according to Indivisible, which was another outlet or reporting agency,
Speaker 3: one of the organizations leading the movement in collaboration with
Speaker 3: the nationwide coalition that includes civil rights organizations, veterans, women's
Speaker 3: rights groups, labor unions, and LGBTQ plus advocates. But CNN
Speaker 3: does go on and say that they have not been
Speaker 3: able to independently verify how many people attended Saturday's demonstration,
Speaker 3: but Hands Off organizers themselves say that millions, and of
Speaker 3: course they report this in parentheses, millions of people turned
Speaker 3: up from coast to coast. The organizers went on to say,
Speaker 3: according to CNN, that they have three demands. An end
Speaker 3: to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration,
Speaker 3: an end to slashing federal funds for medicaid, social security,
Speaker 3: and other programs working people rely on. And an end
Speaker 3: to attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities. So
Speaker 3: basically they're just against everything Trump's against, and apparently Trump
Speaker 3: is attacking everybody, all right, But.
Speaker 4: That's according to CNN.
Speaker 3: Now it's important I read that last section here where
Speaker 3: they had the three demands, because there's conflicting reports on
Speaker 3: why they were organizing. Let me go on to the AP. Now,
Speaker 3: the AP, their report is that there are crowds of
Speaker 3: people angry about the way Presidentald Trump is running the country.
Speaker 3: They martian rally in scores of American city Saturday, in
Speaker 3: the biggest day of demonstrations yet by an opposie position
Speaker 3: movement trying to regain his momentum after the shock of
Speaker 3: the Republican's first week in office. The so called hands
Speaker 3: Off demonstrations were organized for more than now listen to
Speaker 3: this number, more than twelve hundred locations in all fifty
Speaker 3: states by more than one hundred fifty groups, which they
Speaker 3: go on to say exactly what CNN said here, including
Speaker 3: civil rights organizations, labor unions, LGBTQ plus advocates, veterans, and
Speaker 3: elections activists. The rallies appeared peaceful, with no immediate reports.
Speaker 3: Now the AP reports it was across twelve hundred locations.
Speaker 3: CNN reports here that it was over fourteen hundred different locations,
Speaker 3: conflicting numbers. CNN reports nearly six hundred thousand people signed up.
Speaker 3: Reports from other outlet's say it was five hundred thousand.
Speaker 3: Some say it was four hundred thousand. And of course
Speaker 3: social media. Everyone on social media, you know, they are
Speaker 3: the news. Now they all say that millions showed up
Speaker 3: to attend million in. Some say hundreds of thousands, some
Speaker 3: say tens of thousands, of others say millions. So there
Speaker 3: are conflicting reports as to how many. But regardless, we
Speaker 3: have to agree on this. We can't deny that it
Speaker 3: was a large number. It was a large number of people.
Speaker 3: Now was it impactful? Maybe it was all mostly in
Speaker 3: blue cities. There was a sprinkling of protests within primarily
Speaker 3: red districts, red counties across blue states, which goes on
Speaker 3: to show that this was primarily a party in a
Speaker 3: protest basically for their wow, for their own people, their Democrats,
Speaker 3: and people who consider themselves liberal or on the left.
Speaker 3: They weren't really winning hearts and minds. But still you
Speaker 3: have to pay attention. You have to give credit where
Speaker 3: credit is due their voice was heard and they made
Speaker 3: a statement. But why they are protesting. Why they're protesting,
Speaker 3: according to the Hands Off twenty twenty five organization website themselves,
Speaker 3: and of course, as it has been reported by CNN
Speaker 3: and many other outlets, has more to do with them.
Speaker 3: And again I'll read straight from the Hands Off twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five organization website. They're upset about the dismantling of
Speaker 3: Social Security and medicare, the Trump administration allegedly handing trillions
Speaker 3: to billionaires, gutting protections for working people, assaulting communities and
Speaker 3: their rights. And they're saying that they feel they're targeting veterans, kids, seniors, farmers, immigrants,
Speaker 3: transgender people, and political opponents. And they won't stop just there.
Speaker 3: So this is what they are protesting about. But somehow, somehow,
Speaker 3: the bigger leftist legacy media, those that still have news
Speaker 3: outlets that are on broadcast television state otherwise. Now, here's
Speaker 3: a report from CBS News, This one of CBS News
Speaker 3: New York. But I've already seen other CBS News outlets
Speaker 3: and other areas that all pair at the same exact message.
Speaker 4: And here's that but on SAT.
Speaker 2: Crowds across the country gather to push back on Trump's policies.
Speaker 2: Bradley Blackburn joining us now live here in studio with
Speaker 2: the latest Bradley land dug tariffs and plunging four oh
Speaker 2: one k's were major topics at those rallies yesterday. One
Speaker 2: interesting note this morning, Elon Musk is making headlines saying
Speaker 2: that he hopes the US and Europe will form a
Speaker 2: zero tariff free trade zone, but that's not the reality
Speaker 2: right now, and President Trump is standing firm from California
Speaker 2: to Colorado. In Chicago and New York City, the crowds
Speaker 2: at hands Off rallies had countless messages but one shared
Speaker 2: mission to protest the policies of President Trump. It hurts
Speaker 2: a lot to watch what's happening to the country.
Speaker 3: Americans around the country are out on the street.
Speaker 4: Saying no way.
Speaker 2: Investors are bracing for the week ahead after stocks plummeted
Speaker 2: last week. President Trump's ten percent tariffs are now in effect,
Speaker 2: with higher reciprocal tariffs set to switch on this week.
Speaker 2: Cameras caught a glimpse of Trump as he left his
Speaker 2: Florida golf club Saturday, but in a post on truth
Speaker 2: Social the president called the changes an economic revolution and
Speaker 2: told Americans to hang tough. Their tariffs are not only
Speaker 2: IMPI selic they're illegal, they're.
Speaker 3: Unconstitutional, and we're gonna turn this around. Okay, So, CBS
Speaker 3: News reports that the protests are primarily about tariffs, but
Speaker 3: they also in the same report say that there were
Speaker 3: many messages, mixed messages. There wasn't really one singular message.
Speaker 3: I think people were just protesting to protest at this point.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're just upset. They've just always hated Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: Possibly maybe I don't know. But regardless, you know, that
Speaker 3: last statement there that you heard about Trump's being illegal
Speaker 3: and unconstitutional is complete bullshit.
Speaker 4: They're not illegal.
Speaker 3: Trump is literally implementing reciprocal tariffs which have a minimum
Speaker 3: tariff amount or percentage of ten percent. That's exactly what
Speaker 3: he's doing. And must statement that they said here in
Speaker 3: this report, this news report where they stated that in
Speaker 3: the must said he's looking for a zero tariff, open
Speaker 3: market or free market. They go on to say, well,
Speaker 3: that's not the reality because of Trump. Well, not entirely true.
Speaker 3: Trump is implementing tariffs where countries are putting tariffs on
Speaker 3: American goods. Yes, it's gonna hurt this is the correction.
Speaker 3: Is it an over correction?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 3: I don't see it that way. I think this is
Speaker 3: long overdue. The markets will correct themselves. As far as
Speaker 3: a stock market crashing, We've seen many graphs come out
Speaker 3: on this alleged report of how bad it is, and
Speaker 3: according to most stock market analysts and those that report
Speaker 3: on these matters, we have basically returned to the numbers
Speaker 3: back in August from what I understand.
Speaker 4: So is it really that bad? Is it that horrible?
Speaker 4: Is it scary? Yes?
Speaker 3: It is scary because there's a big unknown.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: While the dal Jones has reported fell by over fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred points, the fifty two week low of the dal
Speaker 3: Jones was at thirty seven six hundred and eleven. And
Speaker 3: as of clothes, as a close of markets previously, we
Speaker 3: were at thirty eighty three hundred and fourteen and eighty six.
Speaker 3: So this really does look like more of a correction.
Speaker 3: It looks like we're still within range now. Both Charles
Speaker 3: Schwab and marilynch have released statements or reports that touch
Speaker 3: on what's going on, what has been going on over
Speaker 3: the last month or so, And I'm going to read
Speaker 3: from the report by Charles Schwabier, and they're they're labeling
Speaker 3: all this as a market correction. And they asked a question, well,
Speaker 3: what is a correction? And they go on to explain
Speaker 3: it this way. They say, there's no universally accepted definition
Speaker 3: of a correction, but most people consider correction to have
Speaker 3: occurred when a major stock index such as the S
Speaker 3: and P five hundred index Ordal Jones Industrial Average, declines
Speaker 3: by more than ten percent but less than twenty that
Speaker 3: would be a bear market, but more on that below
Speaker 3: from its most recent peak. It's called a correction because
Speaker 3: historically the drop often corrects and returns prices to their
Speaker 3: longer term trend. So do corrections mark the start of
Speaker 3: a bear market? It goes on to say that nobody
Speaker 3: can't predict with any degree of certainty whether a correction
Speaker 3: will reverse or turn into a bear market. That is,
Speaker 3: periods when the market is down by twenty percent or more,
Speaker 3: and if it's any consolation, historically most corrections haven't become
Speaker 3: bear markets. There have been twenty seven market corrections since
Speaker 3: November nineteen seventy four, including the current one we're in now,
Speaker 3: and only six of them became bear markets, which began
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty, nineteen eighty seven, tw two thousand and seven,
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty. So since nineteen seventy four, according to Schwab,
Speaker 3: only six market corrections have become bear markets, And of
Speaker 3: course I'm referring to nineteen eighty eighty seven, two thousand,
Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty twenty. So right now, are we in
Speaker 3: danger of going into bear market? According to all data,
Speaker 3: the way everything's being reported and by the numbers, we
Speaker 3: might be. We very well could be. But as of now,
Speaker 3: this is still being labeled or treated as a correction,
Speaker 3: and many analysts have come out to say just that
Speaker 3: that this is just a Marcus correcting himself after being
Speaker 3: you know, spun out of control for so long, and
Speaker 3: that these things do happen. But still, should we be cautious? Absolutely,
Speaker 3: should we have concern Sure, And one of my concerns
Speaker 3: would absolutely be my investment in the stock market. Anybody's
Speaker 3: concerns would be their investment in the stock market. But
Speaker 3: let's let's not fool ourselves here. You know, investing in
Speaker 3: stocks is a gamble regardless, and there's no guarantee of
Speaker 3: getting a return on your investment. But when you're considering
Speaker 3: your retirement account, your for one k's, you're invested in
Speaker 3: various other mutual funds for example, or index funds, and
Speaker 3: everything is tanking, well, then that's where there is a
Speaker 3: cost for concern. A lot of people reporting that they
Speaker 3: lost money in there for a one k. But again,
Speaker 3: this at the moment looks like a market correction. So
Speaker 3: I'm not an expert when it comes to stock market
Speaker 3: I am just reading the reports and reviewing the data
Speaker 3: that's been presented. So if you have any major concern,
Speaker 3: see your financial analysts, you're broker whoever, and make the
Speaker 3: right choice for yourself. But as a country, as a country,
Speaker 3: as the United States of America, you know, as a
Speaker 3: whole art, are we ready to throw in the towel
Speaker 3: and admit defeat. No, listen, this is this is part
Speaker 3: of what caused the Great Depression. And I'm not going
Speaker 3: to compare to the Great Depression, as so many people
Speaker 3: on the left and leftist media has been trying to do,
Speaker 3: because it's not the same, we're not the same era.
Speaker 3: But the panic and concern did cause a great depression.
Speaker 3: The panic and concern when it came to the markets,
Speaker 3: especially that the famous market crash in nineteen twenty nine
Speaker 3: fueled the fire of fear and uncertainty with investors, with
Speaker 3: people in the markets in general. And so what did
Speaker 3: they do. They ran to the banks. They ran to
Speaker 3: the banks to get all their cash out, and when
Speaker 3: they did that, they led the banks dry. The banks
Speaker 3: all became insolvent, and that is what caused the Great Depression.
Speaker 3: We're not there. I doubt that we are going to
Speaker 3: be there. This is a completely different time. What we're
Speaker 3: seeing now is a correction, and so hold fast, have
Speaker 3: faith things are going to get better, just as they
Speaker 3: did in two thousand, two thousand and seven and even
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. So hold fast, stop panicking. Everything's going to
Speaker 3: be okay. But by all means, consult your financial analysts,
Speaker 3: your financial professional who can give you more concise advice
Speaker 3: and what moves you want to make, and help you
Speaker 3: make those informed decisions. I am just comparing data. I'm
Speaker 3: just comparing reports, and I am not trying to tell
Speaker 3: you what to do with your money. I just want
Speaker 3: to make that very clear, So do your own due
Speaker 3: diligence in the situation. I'm just saying that I don't
Speaker 3: believe it's quite yet. Time to panic. We're just not
Speaker 3: there yet. Now getting back to the hands off protests again,
Speaker 3: the Hands Off twenty twenty five protests. It's significant was
Speaker 3: it was a large gathering across America and even in
Speaker 3: other cities abroad that wanted to pitch in and support
Speaker 3: this protest. But there are also reports, you know, as
Speaker 3: I said, mixed messages, unverified numbers, et cetera. But there
Speaker 3: were reports of people literally being seen bust in like
Speaker 3: bust in. So I don't know if the organizers they
Speaker 3: had like a large list of people that signed on
Speaker 3: and they were going to go ahead and facilitate transportation
Speaker 3: for these individuals so that they can all just come
Speaker 3: in together, or this was just organized in a way
Speaker 3: to make it look like in every area there were
Speaker 3: a ton of people like is this similar to what
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris got caught doing with her rallies? Or were
Speaker 3: these people protesting and I don't know, Let's say one
Speaker 3: city for X amount of hours getting on the bus
Speaker 3: and then going to the next city for X amount
Speaker 3: of hours getting on the bus and going to the
Speaker 3: next one.
Speaker 4: Was this what was really going on?
Speaker 3: Is this what made every protest look like they were
Speaker 3: larger than normal amount of people. I've talked to some
Speaker 3: individuals in different cities. They're reporting that through over one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand protesters in New York, for example. Others I
Speaker 3: know say, well, it wasn't really that much. I mean,
Speaker 3: they were kind of confined to like this one street
Speaker 3: or you know, this block. Same thing that I heard
Speaker 3: happened in Chicago. When I talked to Aaron, the host
Speaker 3: of I had to say it earlier today, he said
Speaker 3: the same thing. It was, you know, it wasn't anything
Speaker 3: out of the ordinary. It was, you know, pretty much
Speaker 3: confined to the same normal areas where they're you know,
Speaker 3: usually do their gathering to their protests. It wasn't it
Speaker 3: wasn't anything that was bigger than usual. But what is
Speaker 3: significant was that they organized it all on the same day,
Speaker 3: around the same time, across the entire country, and you
Speaker 3: got to tip your hat to them. They're definitely trying
Speaker 3: to make their voices heard. But the issue is the
Speaker 3: messaging is not concise. There isn't a clear defined message
Speaker 3: that they want to reach the White House other than
Speaker 3: we don't like you Trump and we don't like Elon
Speaker 3: and that's pretty much it. That's pretty much it. And
Speaker 3: you've got legacy media trying to say it's about tariffs,
Speaker 3: you have the organizers saying it's really more about being
Speaker 3: mistreated and you know, the rights being taken away. So
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure what you're protesting, other than I
Speaker 3: can say that they're coming together because they just hate
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Now, staying on the topic
Speaker 3: of protests now, while I tip my hat to the
Speaker 3: Hands Off Organization for, you know, bringing people together to
Speaker 3: voice your opinions, and they did so in basically a
Speaker 3: peaceful way, Hats off to them for that. But still
Speaker 3: the messaging is very mixed. The reports on the numbers
Speaker 3: and how many supported, we still can't get a clear answer. Regardless,
Speaker 3: they made a statement. But let's address the Tesla protests,
Speaker 3: the protests by leftists, by Democrats who disagree with a
Speaker 3: man who by all means, by definition, is a liberal Democrat.
Speaker 3: We're talking about Elon Musk, and these people feel that
Speaker 3: because they personally feel slighted for the fact that the
Speaker 3: organization DOGE and which was appointed like Trump appointed him
Speaker 3: to do the job for only two years, by the way,
Speaker 3: and you know, twenty twenty six, he's done, and in fact,
Speaker 3: Trump has actually stated on more than occasion that he
Speaker 3: may even punch his ticket earlier because he's already uncovered
Speaker 3: enough waste, enough fraud. But even then, you know, everyone
Speaker 3: could just wait this out, see what happens. But no, no,
Speaker 3: they will choose. They the left, the Democrats. They choose
Speaker 3: to protest Elon by protesting the product Tesla, a product
Speaker 3: which many people buy regardless of political affiliation. There are
Speaker 3: both leftists and conservatives and you know, libertarians and independence
Speaker 3: that buy this vehicle because they believe in what the
Speaker 3: electric vehicle can offer. They like the technology, and maybe
Speaker 3: they buy into Hey, I want to maybe not hurt
Speaker 3: the environment, like this is a good thing. Some going
Speaker 3: to invest, you know, invest in this vehicle. But yet
Speaker 3: the left is going out of their way to literally
Speaker 3: deface buildings, harass people who buy them on on dealer lots,
Speaker 3: break people's windows, key their cars, firebomb their cars, all
Speaker 3: violence portrayed by those on the left who always claim
Speaker 3: to be tolerant and have a view of being inclusive
Speaker 3: and accepting. It's fucking ridiculous, it's laughable. It's crazy that
Speaker 3: they're going to go out of their way to damage
Speaker 3: another person's property because they think that hurts Elon Musk
Speaker 3: when they're hurting the people who invested their hard earned
Speaker 3: dollars into buying a product that literally gets them around,
Speaker 3: that maybe gets them to work, that helps them drop
Speaker 3: their kids off, take their kids to practice, go shopping
Speaker 3: for groceries and basic necessities, maybe even just get to
Speaker 3: the damn medical appointments that they need to keep so they.
Speaker 4: Can stay alive. Who knows.
Speaker 3: But still here we are, and we got these rebels
Speaker 3: with out a real cause. Let's just be honest because
Speaker 3: it makes absolutely no sense. And so I'm gonna play
Speaker 3: a few clips. I'm not going to dive too deep
Speaker 3: in to my opinion on this. I mean, it's pretty
Speaker 3: clear that I think this is idiotic and they're not
Speaker 3: making any real statement. They're not winning any hearts and
Speaker 3: minds at all, just as I don't think the Hands
Speaker 3: Off twenty twenty five protests really want any hearts and
Speaker 3: minds over other than those who are already in the club.
Speaker 3: But here we go. Look this first video, you're gonna
Speaker 3: hear music. There's no talking, but I'm gonna narrate this
Speaker 3: and what you're hearing, you're hearing music music to which
Speaker 3: protesters have organized and coordinated a line dance too. They're
Speaker 3: literally line dancing holding signs in front of a Tesla
Speaker 3: factory I believe, or dealership. And these signs are double
Speaker 3: sided but different saying, so they can just like flip
Speaker 3: it and flop it depending on what message they're supporting,
Speaker 3: you know, on whichever particular day. But that's what you
Speaker 3: were hearing. What you couldn't see is a literal line dance.
Speaker 3: A literal line dance. I found it insanely funny, and
Speaker 3: I posted it on my Facebook, on my threads on
Speaker 3: X got a decent response. And look, you can't get
Speaker 3: any more idiotic than that. You really can't. From the
Speaker 3: party that brought you feelings and love who you want
Speaker 3: to love, they also bring you line dancing to change
Speaker 3: hearts and minds.
Speaker 4: But let's move on.
Speaker 3: To the other actions. So there were idiots out there
Speaker 3: who believe that by scratching someone's car, king it and
Speaker 3: causing damage to it in a parking lot, that they're
Speaker 3: doing something good. These brainwashed people were so easily swayed
Speaker 3: manipulated believe that they are doing good by their team,
Speaker 3: I mean party whatever. So they support the Blue Team, great, whatever,
Speaker 3: but destroying and defacing a person's property and what they
Speaker 3: failed to realize, which I don't understand how they don't
Speaker 3: realize this is because it's pretty public knowledge. These teslas
Speaker 3: have cameras three hundred and sixty degree views, and since
Speaker 3: all this has been happening, I believe some software update
Speaker 3: or something was pushed the cars. You can fact check
Speaker 3: me on this, But when they're parked not in use,
Speaker 3: they're now kind of in like I believe it's called
Speaker 3: like a security mode or whatever to or now they're
Speaker 3: just constantly monitoring and I don't know if it's based
Speaker 3: on motion or whatever it is, but these actions are recorded,
Speaker 3: and they're recorded in a store to a cloud cloud
Speaker 3: server which you can access, which now has become evidence
Speaker 3: evidence against the perpetrators, the people who committed the crime,
Speaker 3: who defaced the property. I'm gonna play a few videos
Speaker 3: just just hear these out, make your own opinions, pass
Speaker 3: your own judgment.
Speaker 4: But here's the first clip.
Speaker 5: See this man now identified as sixty year old David
Speaker 5: molar Key. This tesla at Santan Village shopping mall in
Speaker 5: mid March. The owner shot Genesi and noticed the damage first,
Speaker 5: then went back and watched his vehicle's recording system shot.
Speaker 5: Reached out to Gilbert police, who arrested Moler using his
Speaker 5: video and surrounding surveillance videos of nearby businesses. We as
Speaker 5: for Mohler's mugshot and have still not received it. Sean
Speaker 5: has no idea who this man is, and is understandable.
Speaker 5: He very angry about the situation.
Speaker 3: Okay, so there's there's one idiot who just got caught,
Speaker 3: and listen, we're talking about someone who's on the back
Speaker 3: end of their life. I'm not trying to be more
Speaker 3: in here, but this is an adult, by all means,
Speaker 3: a grown man who decided that it was a good idea.
Speaker 3: Probably a white collar guy, could have even just been
Speaker 3: a blue collar guy, but probably dedicated himself to working hard,
Speaker 3: earning money, paying the bills. If you look at the video,
Speaker 3: by all means, he looks like a normal, everyday guy,
Speaker 3: like an average guy. Right, nothing is short but an
Speaker 3: average guy, someone who pays her dues. Yet somehow was
Speaker 3: motivated cohersed enough by the messaging of big media and
Speaker 3: leftist propagana that he would commit this crime, a crime
Speaker 3: which will land him in jail, and the video clearly
Speaker 3: I mean you can see his face, what he's wearing,
Speaker 3: he's clearly identified, clearly identified. And so now he's just
Speaker 3: committed a crime which he probably never would have done
Speaker 3: if not for his total buy in to the team
Speaker 3: that he's you know, raising his pop poms for. Here's
Speaker 3: another video. This one's good. So there's another guy wearing
Speaker 3: a shirt with American flag and an Eagle USA jacket,
Speaker 3: the whole deal. And maybe this guy's a conservative who
Speaker 3: thinks he's doing the right. I think he might be
Speaker 3: a never trumper. He might be someone who doesn't agree
Speaker 3: with the left, but you know, isn't a far right guy,
Speaker 3: but just doesn't agree with things. So I don't know
Speaker 3: this man's motivation. But listen to this video. This guy
Speaker 3: gets confronted and he tries to act like he doesn't
Speaker 3: know what's happening.
Speaker 4: But check this one out. Did he just keep at
Speaker 4: Tesla the other day?
Speaker 2: What you're on video?
Speaker 4: Yeah? This is the guy.
Speaker 3: You just keep a Tesla?
Speaker 4: You got a video online.
Speaker 2: I just thought it's all over the bucking face you
Speaker 2: had the media. You did you key a tesla ad
Speaker 2: a parking lot somewhere around here.
Speaker 4: What do you gotta say about that? I didn't do that.
Speaker 4: Gotta love the clown music.
Speaker 3: So right now, what's going on is they're showing the
Speaker 3: video of him getting out of his Hyundai by the way,
Speaker 3: a South Korean car, walking up to the car next
Speaker 3: to him that he parked, you know, right in a
Speaker 3: slot next one, which is a Tesla.
Speaker 4: So here he is.
Speaker 3: He's walking up and down next to the car, kind
Speaker 3: of like assessing the situation, like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Should I do this?
Speaker 3: Is it clear? Can I The car passes by, he
Speaker 3: turns the other way like hey, nothing's happening.
Speaker 4: Then he goes to the passenger side door and video
Speaker 4: I said, there you go.
Speaker 5: We saw you doing it. You pulled up right next
Speaker 5: to it, and then you keep it.
Speaker 4: You want to beg.
Speaker 3: Whatever?
Speaker 4: And there you go.
Speaker 3: No answer, right, no answer, no accountability. Well I guess whatever. Listen,
Speaker 3: this is the mentality we're dealing with the people who
Speaker 3: oppose America first, people who oppose Donald Trump by all means.
Speaker 3: And look, I'll call Donald Trump out. I questioned some
Speaker 3: of the things he's doing. Now, if you listen to
Speaker 3: the show, you know that I'm not all in, but
Speaker 3: This is just idiocracy, like the movie Idiocracy. This is idiocy.
Speaker 3: One more video. This is crazy because this man who
Speaker 3: got caught was ave a sales manager or director of
Speaker 3: sales whatever, had a prominent career, probably doing very well,
Speaker 3: but again totally was manipulated, bought into the kool aid,
Speaker 3: the messaging, drank the great flavor or you know, the
Speaker 3: fruit punch flavor that he enjoyed that made him feel good.
Speaker 3: And here he is, totally easily manipulated for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: decided that he's going to be some activist hero who
Speaker 3: feels that he's doing the right thing.
Speaker 4: And here's this video.
Speaker 3: This is a TikTok video by I Think News. I
Speaker 3: forget the actual name, but just throw it out there.
Speaker 3: This one came from TikTok, I think it was at
Speaker 3: lay dot News zero two two.
Speaker 4: All right, here you go.
Speaker 6: This man just threw away his entire career because he
Speaker 6: wanted to Kiya Tesla. And of course he was caught
Speaker 6: on camera doing it.
Speaker 4: No, I don't know what happened that puzzle.
Speaker 6: No, okay. His name is Jim pellis a former regional
Speaker 6: sales director for Armor Code in Massachusetts. He waited until
Speaker 6: no One was around.
Speaker 3: Okay, former sales director, so he's not currently but he
Speaker 3: was a farm but still someone who had a career,
Speaker 3: probably had a decent reputation.
Speaker 4: Let's continue this.
Speaker 6: Asuley walked up to the Tesla and, thinking no one
Speaker 6: would see him, dragged his key across the car's paint,
Speaker 6: leaving a deep scratch. What he didn't realize was that
Speaker 6: Tesla's built in cameras were recording everything, crystal clear footage,
Speaker 6: no denying it. It didn't take long for the Internet
Speaker 6: to track him down. His company put out a statement
Speaker 6: distancing themselves, saying they don't condone vandalism and that this
Speaker 6: is now in the hands of the authorities. And Jim
Speaker 6: he went into full panic mode, deleted his LinkedIn, tried
Speaker 6: to erase himself from the Internet. But it's too late.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, correction. He's a former director sales because the
Speaker 3: company basically let him go, but as of that recording
Speaker 3: this report, he was still holding that position.
Speaker 4: All right, here we go.
Speaker 6: This is going to haunt him for the rest of
Speaker 6: his life. Imagine being a grown adult and doing something
Speaker 6: this stupid. If you don't like Musk or Tesla, fine,
Speaker 6: but damaging someone else's car doesn't hurt Elon, it hurts
Speaker 6: a regular person who worked hard for it, and thanks
Speaker 6: to Tesla's cameras, he's now facing the consequences of his actions.
Speaker 3: And great point there. And I hear that some of
Speaker 3: these people are being charged as domestic terrorists, which carries
Speaker 3: I believe can carry up to twenty years, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna throw your life away because you think
Speaker 3: that you're doing the right thing for your team by
Speaker 3: literally thinking to it away with damaging someone else's property
Speaker 3: that has nothing like these people have no connection to
Speaker 3: Elon whatsoever. The product that's it doesn't mean they themselves
Speaker 3: agree with everything Elon does. But Elon's not even the
Speaker 3: sole owner of Tesla. He's a partner. I mean he's
Speaker 3: a majority partner. But still still points been made. You're
Speaker 3: hurting somebody or you're dislike for one person who's literally
Speaker 3: done nothing but do his job at the behest of
Speaker 3: the President of the United States, who has a limited
Speaker 3: window in which to do his job. It's a it's
Speaker 3: not a permanent positions. He's not giving or have been
Speaker 3: granted a lifetime position within the White House. He's just
Speaker 3: been tasked to help uncover fraud and hey, and not
Speaker 3: making decisions on whether or not someone's getting fired or
Speaker 3: something's getting shut down. He gets the evidence with his team,
Speaker 3: presents it to trumpet his cabinet, and then from there,
Speaker 3: if you want to blame anybody for some of these
Speaker 3: decisions that you really hate, just blame Trump, but don't
Speaker 3: blame the person trying to do their job. But I
Speaker 3: guess you're argument like, well, the people who got fired
Speaker 3: and lost their government jobs, they were just doing their
Speaker 3: job too, And yeah, fair enough, but they were doing
Speaker 3: the job by using my tax dollars to pay for
Speaker 3: a worthless position that provided no value. So there's that too. Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you for listening. That's the end of this episode again.
