WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Get ready.

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>And so the fourth day, if you will, of September

3
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, allegedly according to that thing we call

4
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>a calendar. This is the Ocelly effect. So I'm coming

5
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>back for a part two broadcast, and we're not going

6
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 2>to discuss what I talked about in the first part,

7
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>although I'll try and release both podcasts simultaneously later on tonight.

8
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>This is more of something that somebody did actually request

9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>was a supporter of the show, and I once again

10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>want to thank Jimmy James, and our friend Danny, and

11
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>our friend Chris and b Pete and a few other

12
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>people who actually do support what it is I do,

13
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>whether they agree with me or not, which I find

14
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>extremely ethical on their part because they might find some

15
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>value in some of the analysis I do that gets

16
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>them to consider maybe something outside of their comfort zone.

17
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Not too much, because remember it's America, and I know

18
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>most of you don't want to hear these issues or

19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the news or an actual analysis because the prefabricated, preconceived

20
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>prescription that is given to you by the various corporate

21
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>entities and the allegedly independent that are well backed, well broadcast,

22
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>well produced, and all that are much easier to consume

23
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>because they are designed for your already conditioned palate to accept. Anyway,

24
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>onto it. Let's look at the news from the past

25
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>week to ten days, and why because I haven't done

26
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>a news show and it's time to examine a few things. Like,

27
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're keeping score at home, there was a robin

28
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>with no batman. That's right, one of one of the

29
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>many many mass shootings that occurs in America. And I

30
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>don't even want to dive too deeply into it because

31
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>it is literally a weaponized grab bag now, a real incident.

32
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't say it's fabricated. I'm not a Sandy Hooker,

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not aj but I am going to tell you

34
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>that these things are also useful to the propaganda generators

35
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>out there. And if you don't know that, I look,

36
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to tell you. Welcome to planet Earth.

37
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know the initial reaction special report Minnesota

38
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>school shooter had a video manifesto and acted alone. They

39
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>had that out within hours before any ethical, ethical examination

40
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>investigation could have been conducted regarding these things, right, the

41
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>inunction shooter, the nunciation shooter, whatever, new video, but it

42
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>shows the annunciations school shooter at a gun shop days

43
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>before the attack. They had, you know, within a few

44
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>days they had video of the guy, which, by the way,

45
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>they were allegedly a trans shooter who revealed in his

46
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>journal that he was quote tired of being trans and

47
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>wished to quote never brainwashed himself. Use your own judgment

48
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>as to what this sounds like the school shooter's Nazi

49
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>salutes and quote erratic and quote behavior revealed by an

50
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 2>ex friend. Of course, they go to the ex friends

51
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and the neighbors and such, and he was a quiet boy,

52
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>and he was a quiet person, and all that did

53
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Robin Westman's transition in quote drugs fuel the minus Minneapolis shooting.

54
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>RFK Junior blames antidepressants pro runder way SSRIs changing brain chemistry. Indeed,

55
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>they do change behave. Whether you want to accept that

56
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>or not, that's up to you. But that's sort of

57
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the premise under which they're sold to us. Anyway, what

58
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>are we looking at at the end of the day.

59
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Robin Westman, the Minnesota shooter, posted manifesto video on YouTube.

60
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Footage surfaces online, and I'm going to give you the

61
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>links to all these stories that follow through on a

62
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>great many of these things. But what did I want

63
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to do. I wanted to dig a little deeper and

64
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the context and why this grab

65
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 2>bag of strange where the left and the right could

66
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>easily adapt this entire scenario and this tragedy to guess

67
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>what they're talking points one way or another. It is

68
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>a one size fits all for the left right paradigm.

69
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>You now have a white male from some people's perspective

70
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>that shot up another place. Yawn, of course, and God,

71
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and now we'll talk about the type of gun, and

72
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about the fact that this person had a

73
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 2>problem and this was immediately in the immediate aftermath, within minutes,

74
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>being described by the media as a hate crime against Catholics.

75
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Is it a hate crime against Catholics or is it

76
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>a personal vendetta? And what is the difference? Again, if

77
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 2>you're keeping score at home, this whole circumstance is revolting, disgusting,

78
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>and something that should have never happened. Absolutely, And if

79
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>you have any other viewpoint on that, then you probably

80
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>need to shut this off now, because if you feel

81
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>it's justified for children to be murdered, or you think

82
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>it's good for the Catholic Church, to be attacked, even

83
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>if you hate the Catholic Church, and even if it

84
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>was filled with pedophile priests, it's not something that could

85
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 2>be justified or excused or understood because they're trands and

86
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>they're confused, and they were persecuted by the Catholics. Or

87
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's because they were trans They were already a

88
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>dehumanizing factor. They were already problematic because they were twisted

89
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>individual twisted by the left ideology that made them identify,

90
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, from going from Robert to Robin, like I say, Robin,

91
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>no batman. But what is the real story here and

92
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 2>what is the context? Why is this being amplified? Well,

93
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you why because as I go and I

94
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>collect the data about mass shootings just in twenty twenty

95
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 2>five as of September. First, let me tell you a

96
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>little something about American mass shootings. There have already been

97
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and forty eight, clearly making it easy for

98
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>us to surpass more than one per day. So at

99
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 2>least once a day there is a mass shooting event.

100
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 2>What is a mass shooting event? A circumstance where a

101
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>shooter goes into an area with a population in it

102
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 2>and kills what at least two people or one people

103
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 2>and wounds at least three others something like that. These

104
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>are loose definitions, but either way, if you have at

105
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>least one fatality and a handful of casualties, injuries, etc.

106
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Caused by the shooter or by the circumstance of the shooting,

107
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>you have a mass shooting. By the numbers, this is

108
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 2>what exists. Three hundred and forty eight of them have

109
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>occurred from January one to September one. We're looking at

110
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 2>shootings per day. The average as it stands in America,

111
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>just the United States one point four to one per day,

112
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 2>so close to one and a half, but not quite.

113
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 2>The amount of people killed in these mass shootings thus

114
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>far has been relatively low. Three hundred and ninety six

115
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>for three hundred and forty eight, for just a little

116
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 2>more than one per mass shooting has been killed in

117
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 2>each mass shooting, however, fourteen and forty eight were wounded

118
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>according to statistics, and who knows how many have been traumatized.

119
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>But here's another echo that nobody seems to be able

120
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>to wrap their minds around or quantify into a statistical

121
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>number how many people have been traumatized or steered by

122
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 2>this politically or socially. And I do mean how many

123
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>people have been placed into a position of fear based

124
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>on what it is they've been informed about and what

125
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>it is they haven't been informed about regarding mass shootings.

126
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>How many people have changed their behaviors in daily life

127
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 2>due to this. How many people are literally scared all

128
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the time for either their children or others. You know,

129
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>because schools are a common target, so are targets a

130
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>common target. But grocery stores and any place where people

131
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>get together, and any group of people that could attract hate,

132
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 2>either personal or political reasons, all seem to bring this

133
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>on and disproportionately in America. Why because we have at

134
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 2>least one gun for every human being in the country,

135
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>some say, but I don't think so, because even when

136
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you can statistically line it up and you don't have

137
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>necessarily three hundred and somewhdd million people like you do

138
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>in some other smaller countries, you may still have nearly

139
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>one gun per person in the population and still not

140
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>this inordinate high amount, this high frequency, if you will,

141
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of mass shootings. What is it that's doing it? Mental

142
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>health as a catch all is not a good enough explanation.

143
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It's too general, it's too wide open, and statistically it's

144
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 2>not proven unless you want to say that anybody that

145
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 2>does this proves their ill health mentally by simply committing

146
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 2>this act. But by that logic, every crime of violence

147
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>could be seen as proof of mental instability, and that's

148
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily true. Plus, it would cause a lot of

149
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 2>less people to be punished for their actions who were

150
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>willfully and completely cognitively aware of what it was they

151
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>were doing, the consequences, the damage done, and to be

152
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 2>non compassmentous in so many cases would cause responsibility to

153
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.200
<v Speaker 2>be shifted from the individuals who've done these things. Now,

154
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>they could have been driven from a you know, a

155
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>group place into individual acts of violence. I mean, that

156
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>does happen, but there are other things to consider. And meanwhile,

157
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 2>there was a mass shooting, you know, within a day

158
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>of it in the same state that I think at

159
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 2>a higher level of fatalities, but it wasn't children, It

160
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't as extreme in the what bleeds leads paradigm as

161
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the Annunciation Church there. Anyway, consider why it is these

162
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>things are driven at you and exemplified, highlighted or amplified

163
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>in the media. Sphere, whether it be social or mass,

164
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 2>because both the social and mass casualties that occur from

165
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>these things are considerable, significant, and relevant to one another.

166
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 2>That stands for the media, the casualty events and the

167
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 2>dysfunction that we find ourselves wrapped in in this place

168
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 2>we used to call America. Anyway, there's a lot more

169
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>news to consider, and if you weren't keeping score at

170
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>home with that, you're really going to hate the numerical values.

171
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to lay on you for other things. I mean,

172
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>most people have demanded propaganda feeds from social and other

173
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 2>media continuously, the clown show in the USA, abandoning critical

174
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 2>thinkers to suffer either the MAGA cult or some say

175
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>even more nefarious new and improved mk ultra slim fast

176
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>left coded ignorance of logical results. I mean, here we go.

177
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 2>It's like, Hey, you're on a skyscraper and you can

178
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>either jump or burn in the fire behind you. These

179
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 2>are not acceptable either or selections in my mind. But again,

180
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the participation trophy culture, the self inflicted intellectual self harm

181
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 2>from the Dunning Kruger effect, which I discussed the other

182
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 2>discussed the other day and was disgusted by the fluoride

183
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the success of master disinformation programs described by William J.

184
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Casey in nineteen eighty one in the infamous quote, will

185
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 2>know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American

186
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 2>public beliefs is false? Not quite, mister Casey, but damn close.

187
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Quick side note, By the way, John Travolta is still

188
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>not dead, despite the fact that there have been many

189
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 2>false reports of his death since twenty twenty three. As

190
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 2>much as I can track, and indeed, you know, Jet

191
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Tribolta died some time ago, but as far as I know,

192
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>John Travolta is still alive. And even though I've had

193
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>to encounter YouTube videos giving him tribute for his passing,

194
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>people don't understand that this hasn't actually happened. Another piece

195
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>of fairly good news, in my opinion, is that Florida

196
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>is going to end vaccine mandates for children as states

197
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Central you know Surgeon General likens them to slavery. I

198
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 2>think that's progress. But there's other points of interest in

199
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the information sphere, in the news that don't necessarily get

200
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.360
<v Speaker 2>accented very well, that don't necessarily get presented or amplified

201
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.080
<v Speaker 2>very well, And hopefully that's why you tuned into me.

202
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>By the way, another thing about those mass shootings in

203
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, just for the record, okay, and just

204
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>as of September first, I mean, there was a mass

205
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 2>shooting in Fort Worth on September first. There was yet

206
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>another mass shooting in the Bronx and New York on

207
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.759
<v Speaker 2>September first. The first mass shooting actually doesn't have a

208
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>qualified death, but does have first four injured in fort Worth.

209
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>In the Bronx and New York on the first of September,

210
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>there was one dead, four injured. Chicago, Illinois, the favorite

211
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.759
<v Speaker 2>whipping post of the Conservatives, there was zero dead and

212
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>five injured on the first. And hey, if we go

213
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 2>back into August, we can start looking at Cincinnati, Ohio

214
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>with four dead and nobody else injured. Chicago again, zero dead,

215
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>four injured. Jackson, Mississippi on the thirtieth. Let's see, yeah,

216
00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the thirtieth of August. Yes, indeed, let's see two dead

217
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and two injured, and on and on and on. Minneapolis, Minneapolis.

218
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm only going back to say it's the

219
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty second and not even getting to the event where

220
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>we could talk about exactly what happened there. You know,

221
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>at the Annunciation Church. And there are many many mass

222
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 2>shootings that have occurred since and right before that were

223
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 2>not identified. And I mean you have juvenile victims. You

224
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.360
<v Speaker 2>have you know, because you might say, well it's only children,

225
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Well there's victims family, there's a whole family fatality. There's

226
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 2>many juvenile victims. Two children were killed in Minneapolis on

227
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 2>the twenty seventh. We know that. Let's see victim fatalities.

228
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 2>A twenty seven year old was killed in Chicago. Let's

229
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>see who else victim fatalities, you know. I mean, it

230
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>is on and on and on. And to tell you

231
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the truth, one of the most effective trackers on this

232
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>is actually mass shooting tracker dot site. They've got a

233
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty good rundown and a continuous ticker on what's occurred

234
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>the many, many, many mass shootings just in the past month,

235
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 2>if you want to look at them. Lots and lots

236
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>of juvenile victims, some cases no fatalities, some cases multiple

237
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 2>many injuries, some cases only one death, some cases, like

238
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I said, no death. It's all over the map. But

239
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>there are constant events where somebody fires a lot of

240
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>shots into a crowd. And they're not all great marksmen.

241
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Apparently they don't all rack up a lot of victims.

242
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.519
<v Speaker 2>But it is a constant trend, and it is clearly

243
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 2>an American trend. What else is a great trend in America? Well,

244
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 2>political skulldugery, I think so, And I got to talk

245
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>about that in a minute. But let's see, if I

246
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 2>go over my list of things to discuss, we also

247
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>might have forgotten even though there was a meeting just

248
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 2>a short time ago where let's see, Trump put the

249
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>onus on Europe to pressure Putin into a Ukraine conference call. Right,

250
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>that was today, by the way, Zelenski was involved in this,

251
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and the envoy was involved in this, And yeah, Trump

252
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>wants Europe to end the situation there. I guess he

253
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do it all on his own in twenty four hours.

254
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.400
<v Speaker 2>And I don't blame him for that, because it's a

255
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 2>bit of a complex situation and something that's been going

256
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>on as a battle for a couple of years, not

257
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>something you can easily end in a couple of minutes.

258
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not a schoolyard brawl. Just saying. But

259
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>when we begin to compare, the interesting paradigm that emerges

260
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>from those that say, look, I don't want to be

261
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>an interventionist. And I go and I study, and I

262
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 2>say to myself, well, here's where the United States in

263
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>beans with either treasure or personnel, or political capital or

264
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.359
<v Speaker 2>various deals or whatever else. What do most people bring up?

265
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Their morality and the amount of money spent. They have

266
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.160
<v Speaker 2>a moral reason for not wanting to involve the United

267
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 2>States and our treasury, which of course could be better

268
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>spent taking care of people at home. And I get

269
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that the non interventionist ideal, But the majority of people

270
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.680
<v Speaker 2>you'll encounter are lying to you about this. They're not

271
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.759
<v Speaker 2>telling you the truth about what it is they find

272
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>truly morally reprehensible. They're not telling you the truth about

273
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 2>how it's about money and we shouldn't be involved, and

274
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>it's not our business, and so on and so forth,

275
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 2>because they can easily be swayed from one direction to another.

276
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 2>And I took time to study the difference between the

277
00:18:54.680 --> 00:19:00.160
<v Speaker 2>acceptable nature or the unacceptable nature of US intervention in

278
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Israel versus the acceptable or unacceptable US intervention in Ukraine,

279
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.880
<v Speaker 2>which one of these things is actually more costly. Well,

280
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I tried to create certain parameters so I could examine

281
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it and take a look at what the comparisons were,

282
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, forgetting about again the morality or the emotion,

283
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 2>just taking a look at the amount of money, the

284
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>amount of resource, and the amount of obligation that is

285
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>implied just by agreement, not necessarily by you know, moral

286
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>turpitude or whatever. Point is this when it comes to

287
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine and people saying, look, we shouldn't be involved, and

288
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, screw them, and besides that they're corrupt country

289
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>and all these other judgments. Get them to remove the

290
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 2>emotional and the judgmental part of it and talk about

291
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>the brass tax right either side, by the way, whether

292
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>they think Russia is the great white hope of the

293
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.079
<v Speaker 2>world and they are more moral than us and Putin's

294
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a great guy, or they think that Ukraine is you know,

295
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.200
<v Speaker 2>an absolutely free nation that we should support because they

296
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>are a democracy like us. I don't want to hear

297
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 2>about the emotional reaction. Let's talk about the agreements and

298
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the cost because these things are what are relevant and

299
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>often left completely out of the emotional exchanges about this.

300
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 2>And I made notes and I'm going to share them

301
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.599
<v Speaker 2>in the show notes here for this podcast, and hopefully

302
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 2>you guys will follow through on some of these things,

303
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.279
<v Speaker 2>but they're very partial, scatterbrain kind of notes where I

304
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.799
<v Speaker 2>decide to analyze something, not just read a news story

305
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.759
<v Speaker 2>and agree or disagree and let my own opinion be

306
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the driving force behind things, but come up with an

307
00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 2>objective way to measure results, actions, costs, and the agreements. Anyways,

308
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>when I compare contrast Israel versus Ukraine's support allies and

309
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.240
<v Speaker 2>alleged agreements, I come across something in nineteen ninety four

310
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>where the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom in exchange

311
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 2>for Ukraine's nuclear arsenal. Okay, the signatories provided security assurances,

312
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>including guarantees of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The contingent

313
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 2>there was that they would be helped or defended, and

314
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.599
<v Speaker 2>that was the bargaining chip to get them to surrender

315
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>a nuclear arsenal which they still had in their possession.

316
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:50.440
<v Speaker 2>With the fall of the Soviet Union. Ukraine received financial assistance

317
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>and compensation for dismantling of its nuclear infrastructure. Okay, And

318
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 2>when I take a look at the amount of aid

319
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>given to Ukraine in the past, I don't know. Let's see,

320
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, in recent times, let's say, right, and in

321
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>the recent actions. By the time we get to August

322
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.880
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty five, from the beginning of the conflict

323
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.359
<v Speaker 2>with Russia, where some people say they invaded, some people

324
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>say they continued and they entered the eastern part of

325
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine and the live fire started there. Not going even

326
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 2>back to the crimea incident, separating it the recent action,

327
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the special military action that Putin describes as not a war.

328
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.319
<v Speaker 2>But this is what this is anyway, three hundred and

329
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 2>sixty billion dollars as best I can observe and get

330
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 2>from public sources, you know, things that are not necessarily classified,

331
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>hidden in black ops, et cetera. Three hundred and sixty

332
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>billion by August of twenty twenty five from the beginning

333
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of the conflict. One hundred and seventy five billion is

334
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 2>usaid at this point, So one hundred and seventy five

335
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:16.039
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars one way or another, almost any way you

336
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 2>slice it. In security assistance. All that stuff is what

337
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>has been spent on the Ukraine conflict by the US.

338
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 2>When we have an agreement in place that look, if

339
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you give up your nukes, will help you defend your

340
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 2>territorial integrity, sovereignty. All of that whatever that means to Ukraine.

341
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.799
<v Speaker 2>This is the agreement we gave them. They remain independent,

342
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.240
<v Speaker 2>they keep their territory, and we're supposed to help them

343
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.440
<v Speaker 2>do that. Along with signatories from the United Kingdom right,

344
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and Russia signed onto this too. Anyway, this was the

345
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:01.000
<v Speaker 2>assurance for surrendering the military arsenal and dismantle the infrastructure

346
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:06.759
<v Speaker 2>for it. That's the public agreement, right And like I said,

347
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventy five billions since the beginning of

348
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 2>this stage of that conflict where the invasion of the

349
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.039
<v Speaker 2>East happened. There's a lot of different ways to measure

350
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 2>this and look at it, but I've done the best

351
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I can to come up with that number. When I

352
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:28.240
<v Speaker 2>look at the current campaign against Palestine and Israel now

353
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>we're switching to I easily see a bunch of line

354
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 2>items which are difficult to quantify in some cases. You know,

355
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you got to consider a bunch of things. There was

356
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 2>security assistance, there was you know, actions in neighboring countries

357
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>to assure the integrity of the borders of Israel, okay,

358
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>and the borders of the area of conflict, you know.

359
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 2>And then Operation Midnight Hammer, which is the bombing right

360
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>of Iran. And when you've got you know, a single

361
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>strike involving a fourteen GBU DASH fifty seven bomb on

362
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Iranian nuclear sites, fourteen of those costs six point six

363
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars, with individuals successful hits costing one hundred and

364
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 2>fifteen million apiece. Okay, estimates you know, because of again

365
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:35.880
<v Speaker 2>classified cost command and control resources, excluding you know, determinations

366
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>of other infrastructure costs which might already be endemic of

367
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:44.000
<v Speaker 2>other circumstances and might have joint usefulness. I'm talking about

368
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:51.559
<v Speaker 2>dedicated resources, right, fourteen guided bomb units, massive ordinance penetrators,

369
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>right MOP, the thirty thousand pounds or fifteen kilogram bunker

370
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 2>buster bombs, right, carried by the B two and all that,

371
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>and you got to work with declassified cost estimates, and

372
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:15.279
<v Speaker 2>conservatively that operation alone had to run about eight point

373
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 2>three billion dollars. Now that doesn't include the Israeli controlled weapons,

374
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>which were an assorted equipment, logistics, human resources that may

375
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 2>or may not have been paid for by the United

376
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 2>States previously that were involved with the Israeli support of

377
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 2>this operation. That's another situation. I'm talking about direct fresh contributions, right.

378
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 2>And there was also a supplemental package passed like almost

379
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 2>as an emergency by the US Congress, where they gave

380
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty six point three eight billion dollars total in support

381
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to Israel, also to reimburse US military operations and provide

382
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:03.640
<v Speaker 2>humanitarian aid. Five point two billion for replenishing and expanding

383
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Israel's missile and rocket defense systems, including the Iron Dome,

384
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 2>David Sling, and the Iron Beam okay. Four point four

385
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 2>billion to replenish US stockpiles of defense articles and services

386
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>provided to Israel, three point five billion for advanced weapons systems,

387
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>one billion to enhance artillery and critical NISIS production conditional aid.

388
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>In February of twenty twenty four, the US issued a

389
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.680
<v Speaker 2>memo requiring recipients of US military aid to provide assurances

390
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>that they would use the weapons in line with international law.

391
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 2>While the Administration found quote a reasonable it reasonable to

392
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:54.720
<v Speaker 2>assess that Israel had acted inconsistently with these obligations, in

393
00:27:54.759 --> 00:28:00.319
<v Speaker 2>some cases, it asserted Israel's assurances as credible because they

394
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>assured us they had even though we had evidence to

395
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the contrary. You know, different informations collected by Trump and

396
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Biden White House fact sheets okay reveal a whole bunch

397
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:22.359
<v Speaker 2>of interesting costs here, different border support costs, you know,

398
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>equipment transfers, the cost of just doing that, not just

399
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:31.039
<v Speaker 2>the equipment, but the cost of actually transferring it. You

400
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:34.559
<v Speaker 2>got a low ball estimate on that conflict at about

401
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty three billion dollars since that October

402
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>seventh ignition point. So again, let's go back to the

403
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventy five billion in Ukraine. So you

404
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>have two conflicts that I know. It sounds like, what

405
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>is it? Ten twelve? Let's see. Now, let's do the

406
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>math real fast. Yeah, just real fast here, So seventy right, okay,

407
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.960
<v Speaker 2>so twelve billion dollar discrepancy. Let's see one five to

408
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>three versus let me just make sure about this because

409
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, you gotta be careful when you're gonna tell

410
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 2>people numbers because they will correct you. Seventy five to

411
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>fifty three, okay, So a twenty billion dollar approximate discrepancy

412
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>when we're talking about massive numbers like that that could

413
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 2>easily disappear into critical assets that publicly we don't even

414
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 2>know about, which will also be incurred costs here because

415
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody's talking about any of the costs of advanced scouting

416
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>or logistical information recon in advance of operations, a twenty

417
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar discrepancy and military t ters in operations over

418
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the course of two years each a piece easily he

419
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>could be swallowed into either one of these things. So

420
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 2>you could have, you know, a bit of a margin

421
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>of barrere based on the fact that there's facts that

422
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 2>are as yet unknown to the public. And I'm not

423
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 2>an insider anyway, taking a look at what the CFR

424
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.839
<v Speaker 2>has had to say about this, taking a look at

425
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 2>what various you know, mouthpieces in you know, various political circles,

426
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.759
<v Speaker 2>media circles, etc. Had to say about this. Has anybody

427
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>made that cost comparison or tried to remove the agreements,

428
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, tried to actually bring them out and say,

429
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, we have agreements here, we have agreements with

430
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Israel as well, and we have conditions we placed upon

431
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:54.400
<v Speaker 2>them that we've turned around and ignored, even when that

432
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>should be to their detriment when it comes to Israel.

433
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:02.039
<v Speaker 2>A lot more scrutiny on Ukraine. So is it the

434
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>emotional reaction is the flip of a coin? Is it

435
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that we like Vladimir Putin better than we do hamas

436
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>weird comparison, but is that where we're at. So the

437
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 2>people that tell you that it's about cost and intervention

438
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>and all that, figure out how fast they're lying to

439
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you when they try try to cover their emotional and

440
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:34.480
<v Speaker 2>discriminatory prejudices as the primary movers in these cases, not

441
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 2>the numerical values, not the amount of treasure is spent,

442
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>not the amount of risk, not the fact that it

443
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>will incur blowback from others in a region or across

444
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the world, or how it is it looks when we

445
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:52.200
<v Speaker 2>don't stand up to some and we stand up to

446
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.839
<v Speaker 2>others on behalf of alleged allies. And don't forget Ukraine

447
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be an ally of ours one way

448
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>or another. I know they're very corrupt, and Israel's another

449
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.559
<v Speaker 2>place that's rather corrupt. I mean, they keep trying to

450
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 2>remove the guy who's in charge of the government. Now,

451
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>they've tried to, you know, get him out of their

452
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 2>for corruption several times. But due to the fact that

453
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>they're engaged in a war right now, nobody can move.

454
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Take a look at their current Prime minister and various

455
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.079
<v Speaker 2>other people that are in control of the government being

456
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.079
<v Speaker 2>brought up constantly on corruption charges. Actually, over the past

457
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 2>few years, is Zolensky suffering from the same problem. What

458
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.559
<v Speaker 2>level of corruption causes you to not have an ally

459
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>anymore or to embrace an ally? These are questions nobody

460
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 2>wants to ask, because their mind was made up long

461
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.000
<v Speaker 2>before the conflict was loosed. It doesn't matter how many

462
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:56.920
<v Speaker 2>bodies pile up. It doesn't matter how many children who

463
00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't ask to be involved in a conflict, whether it's

464
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 2>in you or it's in Palestine, are murdered because they

465
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.119
<v Speaker 2>don't care about that. They don't care about the death,

466
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 2>they don't care about the cost. They don't care about

467
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 2>US intervention. It's just the prejudice driving whether they support

468
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:23.319
<v Speaker 2>or demonize either side of those two equations. I don't

469
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:27.960
<v Speaker 2>know how else to explain it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe

470
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm crazy. You think about it. I'm gonna take a

471
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 2>quick break in my voice rest for a second, and

472
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>try and blow through some more news and some more

473
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:43.200
<v Speaker 2>analysis before I'm done with this particular podcast. Here on

474
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.839
<v Speaker 2>a Thor's Day, stick Around and Get shod.

475
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 1>The War State by Michael Swanson explains the great national

476
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 1>tree transformation that took place and put the Kennedy presidency

477
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>in the context of The Times and reveals never before

478
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>published information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would

479
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:12.400
<v Speaker 1>not have been assassinated if he had been president two

480
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:16.079
<v Speaker 1>hundred years ago. His assassination took place in the context

481
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Cold War and the rise of the national

482
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 1>security state. Before World War II, the United States was

483
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a continental republic. In the decade that followed, it became

484
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:28.760
<v Speaker 1>an imperial superpower. Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only

485
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to invade Cuba, but knew that there were short

486
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 1>range missiles on the island armed with nuclear warheads that

487
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they could not destroy because they were on mobile launchers.

488
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Their invasion could have led to a Third World War,

489
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and they wanted to go to war anyway. The War

490
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>State by Michael Swanson reveals why and will show you

491
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what President Kennedy was up against. For more information, The

<v Speaker 5>You know what uranium is, right?

498
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.679

511
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:21.719
<v Speaker 5>Do you remember that time when Benjamin Fulford said that

512
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 5>an Asian secret society was going to dispatch ninjas to

513
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 5>take down the illuminati.

514
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's interesting, yeah in the clatoon.

515
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah did that ever work out too good?

516
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 2>No?

517
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 5>It didn't, did it? But here on o'celly dot com

518
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.639
<v Speaker 5>radio network, things work out a bit better, don't they

519
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.480
<v Speaker 5>much better?

520
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 4>Much media is clear and understanding about the programs, the

521
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.920
<v Speaker 4>programs much clearer, getting live people into it. They really

522
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 4>have a good conversation going much better, so much better scene.

523
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:59.360
<v Speaker 5>I say, forget Benjamin Fulford and his ninjas and listen

524
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.719
<v Speaker 5>to the radio network.

525
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.239
<v Speaker 4>I agree, it's straight to the point, straight talk, and

526
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.639
<v Speaker 4>I like that idea.

527

536
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I continue to do my level best to not just

537
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:22.280
<v Speaker 2>let my prejudices drive what it is I'm assembling and

538
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:28.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to independent analysis of what is being propagandized out

539
00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 2>there directly. Man, oh man, it is difficult, gotta tell you.

540
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:36.840
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to go to the New York Post

541
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 2>here and yes, indeed there will be many many links

542
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.280
<v Speaker 2>in the show notes to describe all of what it

543
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.719
<v Speaker 2>is I've discussed here tonight, where it is I've gotten

544
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 2>some of the information, but not all of it, because

545
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 2>quite frankly, I read hundreds of pages before I do

546
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.599
<v Speaker 2>any one of these shows. I examine a lot of

547
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.480
<v Speaker 2>different things and don't necessarily bring up every single point

548
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.960
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not a parrot, and I try to make

549
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 2>composites of the available information, the available realities, the observable

550
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to try and give you guys something a little different

551
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.679
<v Speaker 2>than the script reading morons. But occasionally I've got to

552
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:21.239
<v Speaker 2>read off of something, So I'm going to go to

553
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the New York Post and something they published yesterday on

554
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the third, Okay, because I was planning on doing this

555
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:30.719
<v Speaker 2>show on the third, and my voice is barely holding up,

556
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 2>So I apologize for the bad sound and all that,

557
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:36.320
<v Speaker 2>but I'm doing the best I can here and hopefully

558
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:42.039
<v Speaker 2>this helps you anyway. What I find fascinating is this

559
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 2>New York City may or run because New York City

560
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>is a significant part of America. It is one of

561
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:52.119
<v Speaker 2>those things that is seen internationally, as you know, one

562
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.320
<v Speaker 2>of the exemplars of like American society and all that.

563
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And I know it's a deep blue liberal area for

564
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:00.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people, but trust me, not everybody in

565
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:03.760
<v Speaker 2>New York is so liberal. Plenty of rich people they

566
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 2>are very conservative, but the majority of people that live

567
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.000
<v Speaker 2>there end up being on what the democratic side of things.

568
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:16.599
<v Speaker 2>And I think the manipulation in the mayoral race that's

569
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:20.400
<v Speaker 2>occurring right now in broad daylight would be taken differently

570
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:24.320
<v Speaker 2>if a different party were doing it. But it's fascinating nonetheless,

571
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.559
<v Speaker 2>and is again a great example of American politics and

572
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:32.480
<v Speaker 2>how things really work. So here's the headline, Eric Adams

573
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:36.559
<v Speaker 2>white House and talks over Trump admin job as pressure

574
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:42.320
<v Speaker 2>mounts for NYC mayoral candidates to sink Zoran mad Mamdani

575
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:46.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever his name is. Sources and they just say sources.

576
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Yeah. The New York Post, by the way,

577
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 2>super conservative, generally speaking, tabloid headlines Rupert Murdoch's media empires

578
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.519
<v Speaker 2>part of them that goes along with Fox News. So

579
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:05.039
<v Speaker 2>reading directly from that, and I'm going to tell you

580
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:09.199
<v Speaker 2>what's missing from their article. But anyhow, the White House officials,

581
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.519
<v Speaker 2>top excuse me, top White House officials are in talks

582
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Speaker 2>over a potential job for Eric Adams in President Trump's administration,

583
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.480
<v Speaker 2>as pressure mounts for mayoral candidates to drop out and

584
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:25.760
<v Speaker 2>clear the lane for the strongest challenger against socialist Madonni.

585
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:30.360
<v Speaker 2>The Post has learned the conversations about a potential plum

586
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.320
<v Speaker 2>gig for Adams, including an ambassadorship, have been taking place

587
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:38.840
<v Speaker 2>among high level Trump officials, as polling shows the mayor

588
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.239
<v Speaker 2>in fourth place in the approaching November election. Sources said

589
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Adams landing a job and the Trump administration would arguably

590
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:53.119
<v Speaker 2>benefit Governor Andrew Cuomo, who's increasingly seen as the best

591
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:58.239
<v Speaker 2>anti Madonnie candidate, at least in a head to head race. Okay,

592
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.400
<v Speaker 2>let me pause from the article. Is this, Eric Adams

593
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 2>has done some unpopular stuff. He is definitely not a Democrat,

594
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:08.440
<v Speaker 2>even though he's listed as one. He's a former cop,

595
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:15.360
<v Speaker 2>and he's definitely all about supporting the establishment and the

596
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.119
<v Speaker 2>power of the police state, whether you like it or not.

597
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Whether he's weirdly liberal on certain things or not. That's

598
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:27.519
<v Speaker 2>who he is. Not super popular. Once they figured out

599
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:32.800
<v Speaker 2>who they selected in the mayoral election last time, they

600
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:34.840
<v Speaker 2>would have been better off with a guy like Sliva,

601
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.880
<v Speaker 2>who at least has a street level understanding of certain things,

602
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.639
<v Speaker 2>even though he's got the unrealistic Republican idea. And by

603
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the way, he is a candidate still, but he is

604
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of in the way. This is how they could

605
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:53.840
<v Speaker 2>bleed off votes from semi legitimate you know, voting pools

606
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:59.599
<v Speaker 2>where people want reasonable solutions, not socialism. So you got

607
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:02.159
<v Speaker 2>to come up with one reasonable candidate to face the

608
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:06.159
<v Speaker 2>socialist because Adams has now done enough damage and the

609
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.280
<v Speaker 2>past couple of mayors, not just the liberal ones, but

610
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the conservative ones even have turned around and created such

611
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a circumstance in New York. It's not because oh it's

612
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>high crime and it's crazy. It's not that bad compared

613
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 2>to many, many different time periods since I've been alive.

614
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.159
<v Speaker 2>But that's not the point. The point is that the

615
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:31.679
<v Speaker 2>living the quality of life for people trying to survive

616
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in that city is down, so they're going to look

617
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:42.039
<v Speaker 2>for a radical solution, and compared to Adams, either one

618
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:44.719
<v Speaker 2>of these guys is a radical solution, but there is

619
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a risk that socialists could be elected to a very

620
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:54.440
<v Speaker 2>large and powerful city economically speaking, socially speaking, etc. Who

621
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.199
<v Speaker 2>the hell really wants that outside of the people in

622
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the city who are just begging for anything. This is

623
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.880
<v Speaker 2>how outsiders get selected into positions, and it seems like

624
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.280
<v Speaker 2>it's realistically chosen by the public, but it's because of

625
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.840
<v Speaker 2>the manipulation of the menu in the first place. And

626
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 2>this is an open manipulation of the menu, which I

627
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:19.559
<v Speaker 2>don't necessarily disagree with. This is how political strategy is done.

628
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:22.559
<v Speaker 2>And quite frankly, if you can lure somebody away with

629
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 2>a better job and get them out of the race,

630
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:27.440
<v Speaker 2>that's a whole lot more of a legitimate way than

631
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:31.320
<v Speaker 2>blackmailing them or simply paying them off to you know,

632
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 2>take a dive, which could also be in the works,

633
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.440
<v Speaker 2>but we're not being told about that, and has happened

634
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Northeast before I've seen it. I mean, you know,

635
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.960
<v Speaker 2>couldn't necessarily prove it all the way, because if we could,

636
00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:49.440
<v Speaker 2>there would have been a lot more sensational stories against

637
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:55.239
<v Speaker 2>certain people that became mainstream people of interest. You know,

638
00:45:55.559 --> 00:46:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Governor Christy in New Jersey, corrupt as all hell, and

639
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.800
<v Speaker 2>not nearly as corrupt as many of his Democratic predecessors,

640
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 2>but still corrupt as all hell, but taking as legitimate

641
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.559
<v Speaker 2>and taking as two vanilla in a time where upheaval

642
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:17.559
<v Speaker 2>was required in this country. Anyway. The point is that

643
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Adams is a terrible failure of a mayor, and so

644
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:26.440
<v Speaker 2>was his previous you know counterparts who had been liberal,

645
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:31.519
<v Speaker 2>conservative whatever, allegedly, but in theory and in practice they

646
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:35.320
<v Speaker 2>were not necessarily the same thing. In theory, this guy

647
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 2>should have been, you know, liberal and kind of unique

648
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.239
<v Speaker 2>in his way of thinking, but in practice he might

649
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:48.360
<v Speaker 2>as well be a more realistic GOP candidate than Curtis Slee,

650
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.320
<v Speaker 2>who was the leader of the Guardian Angels and all that. Anyway,

651
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Sleeve was not even going to get a mentioned in

652
00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:56.039
<v Speaker 2>this article probably, and I haven't even read the whole

653
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.880
<v Speaker 2>thing yet, but I'm reading it with you. Let's get

654
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.159
<v Speaker 2>back to this. I think in this in quotes, I

655
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:04.760
<v Speaker 2>think Adams would be able to craft a position and

656
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.840
<v Speaker 2>a portfolio that's to his liking. A source close to

657
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration said, I've heard the Adams team wants it.

658
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:17.920
<v Speaker 2>In quotes. Another source close to the White House said, now,

659
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:20.079
<v Speaker 2>who the hell are these sources close to the White House?

660
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Obviously I'm not talking from the article, but isn't that

661
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:26.239
<v Speaker 2>interesting close to the White House? That could be a

662
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:30.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, or it could be nobody because they

663
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:33.000
<v Speaker 2>just learned that this is in motion and nobody wants

664
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:35.679
<v Speaker 2>to confirm it. And here we are with the unnamed

665
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:40.559
<v Speaker 2>sources again. Anyway, who am I to question the New

666
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:43.960
<v Speaker 2>York Posts journalistic integrity except for the fact that at

667
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.199
<v Speaker 2>one time. I did write background pieces for them. Anyhow,

668
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a source in the mayor's orbit confirmed his team has

669
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.599
<v Speaker 2>pushed him to take the federal golden parachute, but Adam

670
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 2>seemingly hasn't bought in. Now again pulling away from the article,

671
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:05.239
<v Speaker 2>this isn't the first time the Trump administration has tried

672
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:12.159
<v Speaker 2>to recruit Eric Adams into a position with the Trump

673
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:17.920
<v Speaker 2>administration for different reasons. They tried to say, look, we'll

674
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:21.639
<v Speaker 2>get your corruption problem to go away if you just

675
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.719
<v Speaker 2>come and help us out. That didn't work out so well.

676
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.239
<v Speaker 2>That was publicly done. This is being floated out there

677
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.800
<v Speaker 2>to see how people respond to it. And to me,

678
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:36.280
<v Speaker 2>this is actually a logical, strategic, intelligent move here. So

679
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Trump designed it, but his people are

680
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:42.639
<v Speaker 2>working on it. Anyway, I have a job. I'm running

681
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:45.440
<v Speaker 2>for reelection in quotes, I'm still doing that and I'm

682
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.719
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to getting re elected and quote, Adams told

683
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:53.119
<v Speaker 2>reporters when asked about the discussions during an unrelated press

684
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:58.719
<v Speaker 2>conference Wednesday. The back room talks came as the scandal scored.

685
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Adams independent reelection bid did not only appears dooone, but

686
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:11.280
<v Speaker 2>is only likely to erase Madamie's path. Okay, ease Madamie's

687
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:15.119
<v Speaker 2>path the victory among a crowd field of four mayoral contenders.

688
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:21.119
<v Speaker 2>See that's the problem. Among Democratic style voters, Adams may

689
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 2>still have some sway. He is the mayor after always recognizable.

690
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Madamie is coming from the left, so he's going to

691
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.599
<v Speaker 2>be able to consume part of the left voter block.

692
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And Cuomo, who you know, is the runner up for

693
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic primary, right another runner up, a better runner

694
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 2>up in fact, is also eating all off of the left.

695
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:55.079
<v Speaker 2>So you've got three leftist possibilities and a seemingly non

696
00:49:55.199 --> 00:50:00.840
<v Speaker 2>existent possibility when it comes to Sliwa. So wild card

697
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:04.280
<v Speaker 2>of Madamie being such an agent of change, if you will,

698
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:09.000
<v Speaker 2>means that he could very likely take it. And that's

699
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:10.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of messed up.

700
00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Now.

701
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:17.639
<v Speaker 2>If you were dealing with this twenty thirty forty years ago,

702
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:23.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody would step in and tell Cuomo, look, step aside, Adams. Listen,

703
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:27.039
<v Speaker 2>nobody's going to reelect you, dude. Get out, Go take

704
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:30.519
<v Speaker 2>a job doing something, Get out so that we can have,

705
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:35.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, a left wing alternative running from the Independent

706
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.440
<v Speaker 2>who can actually cash it in. Adams would be the

707
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 2>first one to be asked out, and yes, somebody would

708
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 2>give him a job, a corporate job, something. Somebody with

709
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:48.199
<v Speaker 2>sway somewhere should offer him a job to get him

710
00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the hell out of there, because he's an obstruction now

711
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:56.719
<v Speaker 2>to getting anything other than a socialist candidate selected in

712
00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:02.000
<v Speaker 2>New York City, which will not well for almost anybody

713
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:05.280
<v Speaker 2>except you know, some initially, some people will make some

714
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 2>gains because there will suddenly be a level playing field

715
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in certain ways. But he's not going to be able

716
00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:18.800
<v Speaker 2>to effectively even you know, put into action half of

717
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the things that he's going to try to put into action.

718
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.159
<v Speaker 2>He's going to make a mess of things one way

719
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.679
<v Speaker 2>or another, no matter what his intent is or no

720
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.199
<v Speaker 2>matter how solid he feels as though the socialist movement

721
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:33.719
<v Speaker 2>could go in New York City. He's going to do damage.

722
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.239
<v Speaker 2>And then who's going to get blamed for it? Probably

723
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.440
<v Speaker 2>not him, because that's not the culture we live in

724
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:44.320
<v Speaker 2>right now, where people take responsibility for the disasters they create,

725
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and the egos of these people that realize that they're

726
00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:54.880
<v Speaker 2>about to ross Perot to hell out of the establishment left.

727
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, dude, you're subdividing to It's like

728
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.880
<v Speaker 2>two ross Paro's got in the race, so they could

729
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:06.679
<v Speaker 2>split the Republican possibility into three places instead of two

730
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:11.639
<v Speaker 2>during that selection when Clinton got in, I mean, imagine

731
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:17.880
<v Speaker 2>double Ross Parode. That's what's happening in New York City. Scary. Anyway,

732
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Cuomo didn't listen to voters rejection and also mounted an

733
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:25.199
<v Speaker 2>independent run, which is what I was just saying. The

734
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:29.639
<v Speaker 2>constellation of candidates has only helped solidify Madamie's lead in

735
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:33.199
<v Speaker 2>the race, with Poles showing he only really faces a

736
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:40.679
<v Speaker 2>light a fight in a one on one contest against Cuomo. Yeah,

737
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Trump surrogates and officials for months have been trying to

738
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:48.679
<v Speaker 2>get weaker candidates such as Independent Jim Walden and GOP

739
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:57.039
<v Speaker 2>mayoral nominee Curtis Slee would a drop out, sources said, Uh, anyway,

740
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I look that it's poor political strategy. If you want

741
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:04.719
<v Speaker 2>to clear the lane entirely, you clear everybody out, and

742
00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:08.119
<v Speaker 2>you put Cuomo against Madami and then you push the

743
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.840
<v Speaker 2>common sense of Cuomo will at least not attempt to

744
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:16.360
<v Speaker 2>implement socialism in a singular mayoral term, which will not work.

745
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Either he'll fail to do it or it'll make a

746
00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:22.679
<v Speaker 2>disaster one way or the other it will not be

747
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:27.039
<v Speaker 2>fully implemented, and it's going to do nothing but damage.

748
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Sliva could remain in the race and peel off some

749
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:40.760
<v Speaker 2>of the conservative left possibility, you know, but that's all

750
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.559
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna do. That's not gonna hurt Madami, you know.

751
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:49.119
<v Speaker 2>So the only guy that can the only people that

752
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:51.440
<v Speaker 2>can hurt Madami are people that are coming from the left.

753
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.559
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that you're either a Sliwa or Madamie voter.

754
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:01.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just that simple. And Sliwa is just

755
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:08.360
<v Speaker 2>not a good enough speaker or intellect to properly counter

756
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.280
<v Speaker 2>or you know, create the proper strawman to even make

757
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.920
<v Speaker 2>this work. So yeah, I can see why Sleeveo would

758
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:21.599
<v Speaker 2>have to get out of the way. But probably the

759
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:26.840
<v Speaker 2>only common sense choice in this race, because like I said,

760
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the current mayor is unelectable. Sliwa is unelectable. The only

761
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:38.760
<v Speaker 2>common sense guy would be guess what, Andrew Cuomo and

762
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:42.960
<v Speaker 2>there is his comeback in a nutshell and totally supports

763
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:46.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, the status quo is just it works out nicely.

764
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Plus you know, he won't be wildly popular or able

765
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:52.199
<v Speaker 2>to work with a lot of other people because of

766
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the ick factor. So honestly, it allows the status quot

767
00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:59.840
<v Speaker 2>to continue in New York City and possible small improvements

768
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:06.119
<v Speaker 2>over the Adams regime. But anybody else who is now

769
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.679
<v Speaker 2>selected out of the people that have been even remotely

770
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:13.880
<v Speaker 2>supported in New York City, and that look, I don't

771
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:18.199
<v Speaker 2>know very much about this Jim Walden, who's an independent,

772
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:21.679
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, all he could possibly do is bleed

773
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:27.519
<v Speaker 2>off what some of the more conservative voters. Well, they're

774
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:32.599
<v Speaker 2>clearly not going to be madamie voters either. I mean,

775
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:34.400
<v Speaker 2>unless you're gonna get somebody to go in there and

776
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:38.360
<v Speaker 2>take a dice roll before they flip a switch. I

777
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.880
<v Speaker 2>don't see how there is any other strategy. So the

778
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:46.719
<v Speaker 2>fact is that, yeah, this is clear and open manipulation

779
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:52.119
<v Speaker 2>of the voting circumstance in New York City. It's probably

780
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.719
<v Speaker 2>the only rational and positive thing that could be done

781
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in this circumstance. And this tells you something about what's

782
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:02.119
<v Speaker 2>wrong with the rank choice voting and how it turns

783
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:06.760
<v Speaker 2>out to create, you know, circumstances that almost nobody will

784
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:13.719
<v Speaker 2>want in hindsight, I assure you. Anyway, Sliwa had indeed

785
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:18.519
<v Speaker 2>refused a job offer from the administration one source set. Quote.

786
00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Now they are seeing if Adams would be interested in

787
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:23.800
<v Speaker 2>working for the administration. The source set. Adams is in

788
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:26.360
<v Speaker 2>a unique position in the sense that he does share

789
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the administration's goals, especially on crime and immigration,

790
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:34.960
<v Speaker 2>so he could likely make a real impact, whether at

791
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:38.559
<v Speaker 2>home or brought. The prospect of an ambassadorship is seen

792
00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:42.480
<v Speaker 2>as the most enticing for Adams, given his long standing

793
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:50.679
<v Speaker 2>plan to do international consulting work after his mayoralty. Another set, mayoralty,

794
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:56.039
<v Speaker 2>another source set. That's a little bit of an awkward

795
00:56:56.119 --> 00:57:01.480
<v Speaker 2>wording there, But okay, after his you know, mayoral term,

796
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I would say, but may oralty, yikes. Anyway you can have.

797
00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:11.960
<v Speaker 2>He can have any ambassadorship he wants. A source close

798
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to Adam boasted White House officials didn't respond to requests

799
00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:20.360
<v Speaker 2>for comment. Mayor Adams has made it clear he will

800
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:23.199
<v Speaker 2>not respond to every rumor that comes up. He will

801
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:29.039
<v Speaker 2>remain focused, not distracted, and grind and grind for New Yorkers. Quote.

802
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Adams campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro said in a statement, Adams

803
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:43.079
<v Speaker 2>hasn't hadn't okay, hasn't hadn't any discussions. I swear that's

804
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:47.159
<v Speaker 2>the way it's written, hasn't hadn't any discussions. God, the

805
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:51.079
<v Speaker 2>New York Post is atrocious. Anyway, let me correct it.

806
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Adams hasn't had any discussions with Trump, nor has he

807
00:57:57.320 --> 00:58:01.400
<v Speaker 2>met with the President. Regarding the mayoral Shapiro said, the

808
00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:04.159
<v Speaker 2>mayor is fully committed to winning this election. Blah blah blah.

809
00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's see move ahead. Although Mayor Adams has been the

810
00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:11.199
<v Speaker 2>most pro housing mayor in New York City's history, had

811
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:14.000
<v Speaker 2>no time, did he ask for nor was he offered

812
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a job at HUDGE. Shapiro said, if the HUD job

813
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:22.360
<v Speaker 2>does open, Andrew Cuomo held that position before and can

814
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:30.079
<v Speaker 2>always continue where he left off. Anyway, all of this nonsense,

815
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:36.159
<v Speaker 2>here's the facts. Okay, again, this is actually rational. And

816
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:40.800
<v Speaker 2>if I had any sort of input with the Trump administration,

817
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:44.679
<v Speaker 2>I tell them to embrace this and outwardly state, yeah,

818
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:49.280
<v Speaker 2>this is what we'd like to see done, because who

819
00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:53.559
<v Speaker 2>in their right mind in America? And I wouldn't have

820
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Trump say this, because you know it'd be automatically tainted

821
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:04.079
<v Speaker 2>with us sorts of prejudicial ideas and concepts and emotional reactions.

822
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I would have somebody responsible in the Republican Party say, look,

823
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:13.880
<v Speaker 2>we as a party, we as an administration, the collective,

824
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:18.440
<v Speaker 2>not just the strong man at the top, have decided

825
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:21.840
<v Speaker 2>this is the best idea because we don't want to

826
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:26.199
<v Speaker 2>see a socialist in control of a large city, a

827
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:30.920
<v Speaker 2>huge economy, and something that could make trouble for all

828
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:34.800
<v Speaker 2>of the surrounding states. If this guy's in control of

829
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a city and makes the kind of disaster that a

830
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:45.320
<v Speaker 2>socialist implement could throw into the machinery, the monkey wrench

831
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that he is, so for the interests of New Yorkers

832
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and America in general, yeah, damn right, we're trying to

833
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:59.159
<v Speaker 2>do this, and I would really put it out there

834
00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:00.800
<v Speaker 2>that look for the good to New York, for the

835
01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:08.239
<v Speaker 2>good of the country. Adams and Sliwa and this other fool,

836
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:11.760
<v Speaker 2>except you know, give him a job, let him manage McDonald's,

837
01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:14.639
<v Speaker 2>don't matter, he's not really important. Leave him there, it

838
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. But Sliwa and Adams, Yeah, I would definitely

839
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:27.079
<v Speaker 2>give them a publicly available legal bribe to step aside

840
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:33.480
<v Speaker 2>for the better of the entirety of the Northeast. Is

841
01:00:33.559 --> 01:00:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it corruption, Yeah, but that's the way this is supposed

842
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to kind of work. If they get a better job offer,

843
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.239
<v Speaker 2>they could choose not be forced out, but they could choose.

844
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:51.519
<v Speaker 2>See it's difference between force and volunteerism. And the fact

845
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>is it's like sex. If you didn't want it and

846
01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody made you have it, it's rape. But if you

847
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>were into it, you went for it, and the other

848
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>person convince you to go for it. Sounds to me

849
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>like just might be a good Saturday night. And you

850
01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>can make that happen in New York City by getting

851
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>these two fools to step aside, because they're gonna do

852
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>nothing but damage the place that they're alleging to care

853
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>about enough to be in charge of. They're only going

854
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>to do damage by remaining in the race to that place.

855
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Step aside for the better, for the uplift of all concern.

856
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>And I think they could do it publicly. There's a

857
01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>way to spend this and do it right. But will

858
01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:48.559
<v Speaker 2>they Why bother because nuance and everything else is not necessary.

859
01:01:48.719 --> 01:01:52.639
<v Speaker 2>So either this is being floated as an idea right

860
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 2>now and not being done, or it's being done and

861
01:01:56.280 --> 01:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the New York Post acts like it has something special

862
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:02.119
<v Speaker 2>on its hands with these sources that are close to

863
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:07.639
<v Speaker 2>this and that. But the truth, truth is, this is

864
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:10.239
<v Speaker 2>the only way to go if you're rational and you

865
01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:13.519
<v Speaker 2>don't want to see New York City destroyed. And for

866
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:15.119
<v Speaker 2>those of you that don't care in the rest of

867
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the country, I get it, you know, screw New York,

868
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:24.079
<v Speaker 2>but you're not going to like the crater and the

869
01:02:24.239 --> 01:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>aftershocks that are going to go other places from that.

870
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.559
<v Speaker 2>And also what happened to those of you that said

871
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you were patriots and you really shouldn't want to see

872
01:02:34.039 --> 01:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>any part of the country destroyed. I mean, I know

873
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>it's fashionable to think that either California or Florida or

874
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>most of the South should all sink into the ocean,

875
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>depending on who you are, or maybe New York should

876
01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>just fall into the ocean. Or New Jersey everybody loved

877
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>to whip on New Jersey for a long time. But

878
01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>even with their breakdancer at Town Halls. I mean, you

879
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>can't say that it's a dangerous as this nonsense. Anyway,

880
01:03:05.199 --> 01:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>The last news story I have to cover here is

881
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>real simple, and I just want to bring it quickly

882
01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:13.679
<v Speaker 2>to your attention. As we look at the MAGA faithful

883
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:18.880
<v Speaker 2>cheering on the National Guard troops being deployed to Chicago.

884
01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.320
<v Speaker 2>They hope, they hope, they hope, because Chicago is always

885
01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:26.119
<v Speaker 2>the favorite whipping post of the Conservatives. What do they

886
01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>do crime New York murderer Chicago, Chicago. Chicago's bad, I know.

887
01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>But when we take a look at the numbers here,

888
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>it's fascinating to me that the headquarters for New Space

889
01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Command they want to send to Alabama as opposed to

890
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Colorado where it is now for interesting reasons. And if

891
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>you're concerned about law and order and the murder rates

892
01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:59.679
<v Speaker 2>and all that, it's interesting that the National Guard is

893
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:03.119
<v Speaker 2>being deployed to Chicago to address again the most common

894
01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>go to for the bad blue city, where indeed they

895
01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>have the thirteenth highest murder rate among states, fourteenth if

896
01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:14.679
<v Speaker 2>you count DC as a state, by the way, but

897
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Space Command headquarters they want to move it to the

898
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>third highest murder rate, fourth again if you include DC

899
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.119
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to Alabama from Colorado, which is twenty

900
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:28.599
<v Speaker 2>second in the US when it comes to murder rates.

901
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>And I use a lot of different websites to come

902
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>up with this, but it's fascinating the current murder rates.

903
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, the percentage of murders per one hundred thousand people,

904
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:46.159
<v Speaker 2>that's the ratio. Yeah, that's how it stands. Okay, Colorado

905
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>at twenty two, right, Alabama at three, and Illinois where

906
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Chicago is well, you know, thirteen. Well we're going to

907
01:04:59.719 --> 01:05:02.840
<v Speaker 2>deploy National Guard there. DC, by the way, much higher

908
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.280
<v Speaker 2>ranked and to add a much higher murder rate apparently,

909
01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:09.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, per one hundred thousand people. But again population,

910
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:12.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, shifts around and all that, and you could

911
01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:14.840
<v Speaker 2>create a different way of looking at that ratio. But

912
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the point is it's a fairly good accurate member measurement

913
01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>for states. And I looked at world numbers collected from

914
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.719
<v Speaker 2>outside the US numbers collected by the FBI Law Enforcement here,

915
01:05:29.519 --> 01:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and there are some inconsistencies in it, and it's very interesting.

916
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>But this composite that I picked up from let's see

917
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>what is it called the World Population Review dot com

918
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the state rankings murder rate state by state, which I'll

919
01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>give you a link to in the show notes. It's

920
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:52.599
<v Speaker 2>interesting that they come up with a very good general

921
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>way of counting where the most you know, likely murder

922
01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:03.119
<v Speaker 2>states are. And again Chicago not doing well. They're still

923
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:07.119
<v Speaker 2>in the upper percentage there, but at thirteen or fourteen

924
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to the third highest state, which is Alabama.

925
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:14.119
<v Speaker 2>That's where they want the Space Defense headquarters to go,

926
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>right next to one of the cities with the highest

927
01:06:18.480 --> 01:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>rate of murder except for I think one place in Louisiana,

928
01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:27.559
<v Speaker 2>not exactly in that city, but the new Space City,

929
01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:30.280
<v Speaker 2>USA or whatever is going to the state with one

930
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.639
<v Speaker 2>of the highest murder rates in the country. Now, is

931
01:06:34.719 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 2>that just being blindsided by not knowing where you want

932
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:42.599
<v Speaker 2>to put your headquarters for Space Command in a not

933
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:47.039
<v Speaker 2>so law and order friendly area. Is that something you

934
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>do intentionally or is that something you do because you

935
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:52.960
<v Speaker 2>don't realize that even though it's a deeply red state,

936
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it's also very, very heavily dangerous and a good place

937
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to get murdered again on purpose accidentally. I don't know.

938
01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:11.599
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'll leave that for you to decide. Again.

939
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just pointing out some of this stuff based on

940
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>my analysis, and I've got plenty of prejudices and judgments

941
01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I can add to this, but I'm trying not to,

942
01:07:22.519 --> 01:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>because information without bias is usually a lot more helpful,

943
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>and as we discussed recently on this podcast, confirmation bias

944
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:37.239
<v Speaker 2>is a driving factor for way more people than you

945
01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>might realize, and sometimes the most brilliant people are the

946
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:48.239
<v Speaker 2>least confident in their expertise, while those that are extremely

947
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>confident and appear to have all of their pooped together,

948
01:07:53.599 --> 01:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>let's say, might be indeed having it all together because

949
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.679
<v Speaker 2>they're full of crap and know very very very little.

950
01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>But I digress. Once again, hopefully you've learned something out

951
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>of this particular podcast. And again that's two for today,

952
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and I guess I'll talk to you guys again on

953
01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Friday night, if I still have any voice left whatsoever,

954
01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:22.159

956
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:36.640
<v Speaker 8>But until then, do you like history? Real history that

957

965
01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>The War State by Michael Swanson explains the great national

966
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:26.479
<v Speaker 1>transformation that took place and put the Kennedy presidency in

967
01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the context of The Times and reveals never before published

968
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would not

969
01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:36.359
<v Speaker 1>have been assassinated if he had been president two hundred

970
01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>years ago. His assassination took place in the context of

971
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the Cold War and the rise of the national security state.

972
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Before World War II, the United States was a continental republic.

973
01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>In the decade that followed it became an imperial superpower.

974
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba,

975
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>but knew that there were short range missiles on the

976
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:59.119
<v Speaker 1>island armed with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy

977
01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>because they were on mo by a launchers. Their invasion

978
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:04.680
<v Speaker 1>could have led to a Third World War, and they

979
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go to war anyway. The War State by

980
01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Michael Swanson reveals why and will show you what President

981
01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy was up against. For more information, the Warstate dot Com.
