As 26 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.280 of right now, the Franklin fires of over four thousand 27 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.599 acres still only about seven percent containment and some evacuation 28 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.640 orders are still in effect. Still do not have a 29 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.560 cause of that fire. 30 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.560 It's time for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible. The government 31 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.560 doesn't work. 32 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:36.719 Man make It's like a reality TV show, bad news. 33 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.200 Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. 34 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.000 Hey Joe, a town. 35 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.519 All too clearly built on a swamp and in so 36 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.040 many ways still a swamp. 37 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.920 A watch of mawarkeeoy said, drained the swamp. I said, oh, 38 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.359 that's so. You know the thing. 39 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.439 So Trump has invited Hjin Ping to his inauguration. He 40 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.799 is invited the leader of China, Shijin Pig to the party. 41 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.640 Yes, we always take the meeting. 42 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.919 Was a spokesperson that went on Fox and Friends, Caroline Levitt, 43 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.159 who will serve as his press secretary in the new administration, 44 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.680 and she said, this is then example of President Trump 45 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.919 creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are 46 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.639 not just our allies, but our adversaries, our competitors as well. 47 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.639 She said, we saw this in the first term. He 48 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.319 got a lot of criticism for it, but it led 49 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.400 to peace around the world. 50 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.879 Okay, does he take that, take us up on the invitation. 51 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.479 We do not know if he's accepted the invitation to 52 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.840 be determined, I believe is the latest. 53 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.599 All right, there's a big deal in Washington, d C. 54 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.199 Today with President Biden commuting nearly fifteen hundred sentences in 55 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.879 what is the largest single day grant of clemency in 56 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.479 the history of the United States. Those individuals whose sentences 57 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.280 will be commuted would be placed on home confinement I 58 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.719 should say, were placed on home confinement during COVID, and 59 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.639 according to the White House, they have all successfully reintegrated 60 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.280 with their families and their communities. You remember, COVID, of course, 61 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.080 was particularly rampant through prisons because of just the way 62 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.159 they're set up, for gosh sakes. Among those who received 63 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.599 clemency people who would have received a lighter sentence if 64 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.879 they had been charged under the current laws and practices, 65 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.120 which is common. The decision to grant this mass clemency 66 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.360 comes after the backlash of Biden pardoning, of course, his son, 67 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.680 after he'd previously said he would not. About thirty nine 68 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.319 people were actually pardoned as a result of all of this. 69 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.520 So a bunch of names, the names have finally been released. 70 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.080 I don't recognize any of them, I don't think, but 71 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.439 the chance that some of these are related to friends 72 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.360 or some other connection to the president. 73 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.800 That's usually how this happens. 74 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.560 And that's one of the powers of the presidency that 75 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.159 has been used by just about everybody who's ever held 76 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:13.919 the office. 77 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.519 Just to get the details of this Kimberly Gilfoyle report. 78 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.680 Of course, she is the latest Trump nominee to be 79 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.199 ambassador to Grease following his son running around on her 80 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.079 with some sort of socialite in Florida. Kimberly Gilfoyle says 81 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.439 she's honored to be the choice to be ambassador to Greece, 82 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.000 but her former sexual misconduct claims are resurfacing that she's 83 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.920 got this baggage. According to political observers, she was accused 84 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.720 as when she was hosted Fox News for You having 85 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:55.040 a young woman over at her apartment while her direct 86 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.480 while she was her direct supervisor, and that Kimberly Gilfoyle 87 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.040 would appe walking around naked all the time, that Gilfoyle 88 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.560 showed this young woman photographs of the genitals of men 89 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.240 whom she had had sex with, that she spoke incessantly 90 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.920 and luridly about her sex life, told this assistant she 91 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.680 should sleep with wealthy and powerful men and submit to 92 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.600 a Fox employees demands for sexual favors. 93 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:24.240 Apparently Guilfoyle. 94 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.920 Again, this is all coming from the lawsuit, but the 95 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.399 woman said that Guilfoyle tried to buy her silence. The 96 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.199 woman was eventually paid an undisclosed amount of money by Fox, 97 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.560 upwards of four million dollars at least according to one 98 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.839 of the lawyers who may have had information about it. 99 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.560 Gilfoyle has denied any of these sexual misconduct allegations, both 100 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.199 right after she left Fox News and in a statement 101 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.879 to New Yorker a few years later. She said, in 102 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.560 my thirty year career working for the DA's office in 103 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.759 San Francisco, the lada's office, in media, and in politics, 104 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.399 I'd never engaged in any workplace misconduct of any kind, says. 105 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.399 I've served as a mentor to countless women, with many 106 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.480 of whom I remain exceptionally close to this day. Okay 107 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:12.079 that listen, Ambassador to Greece is not one of those 108 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.560 positions that I'm necessarily concerned about. I wouldn't other than 109 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.120 wanting it well, I would love to have, you know, 110 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.319 people of good character and clean backgrounds but apparently those 111 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.759 are few and far between in this world these days. 112 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.360 Right, Okay, coming up next, no pay for an eighty 113 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.480 hour work week. People are signing up to be a 114 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.160 doge employee for no pay. We'll tell you who some 115 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.480 of these people are when we return. 116 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.959 Hey, Garyan Channon Julie five foot seven, one hundred and 117 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.120 forty five pounds on a good day. Anyways, my kids 118 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.360 refuse to watch Tombstone with me because I repeat every 119 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.040 line during the movie. They get really pissed off and 120 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.399 it's I'm your Huckleberry. I hate it when people say, Hucklebert, 121 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.279 it's so stupid. You sound stupid. 122 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.759 Yeah, people are really about that. 123 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.519 We used to watch it on repeat when we would 124 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.040 sit and play poker in someone's garage, and it would 125 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.160 just I mean, we would constantly spit out the lines 126 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.399 in between hands. No, we knew what was coming up, 127 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.120 and we'd was that before or after the pillow fight? 128 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.160 What pillow fight? Isn't that? 129 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.920 What happens at poker parties is that I don't know 130 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.480 what kind of poker you're playing. I was just making 131 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.600 a joke because you always say that women get together 132 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:28.560 and have pillow fights. 133 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.800 Yeah, because that's a lot more that at least shows 134 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.319 up in top culture more so than a poker culture. 135 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.199 Sure what from nineteen seventy seven? 136 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.399 Okay, I've never seen any movie where a poker game 137 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:43.519 dissolves into a pillow. 138 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.920 I'm getting angry. Why are you yelling? What emotions are 139 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:48.800 you feeling right now? 140 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.600 Anger? Ask me the second one more anger. 141 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.560 I have a good story in the next hour, because 142 00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.600 I know how much you like feel good news. 143 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.759 You like to feel the cockles of your heart be warmed. Yes, 144 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.240 usually from from dairy. Sometimes when I have my cockles 145 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.279 get hot. No, you're supposed to say warm, not hot. Hot. 146 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.120 Cockles don't get hot. That's a heart attack. 147 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.519 Anyway, It's a nice story involving the nutcracker because it's 148 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:34.120 nutcracker season. Okay, don't make the low hanging fruit joke. 149 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:39.639 I beget about the cockles exactly so low. 150 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.159 Internationally, Israel is saying that it's military is going to 151 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.480 stay in some of the Syrian territory that it has 152 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.679 seized and until a new force is established that meets 153 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.039 its security demands in the area. Prime Minister Benjamin net 154 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.360 Yahu said that Israel will not permit Jihati groups to 155 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.440 fill the power vacuum in Syria and threatened Israeli communities. 156 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.519 He said that Israeli soldiers would only deploy in Syrian 157 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.720 territory temporarily, but didn't give any clear timeline for their departure. 158 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.720 In a few minutes sometime soon, we're going to get 159 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.399 into this story about this American who is found in Syria. 160 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.039 There are a lot of questions I have about people 161 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.960 who do things like this. Yeah, the world is not 162 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.840 generally open just for you to walk around in. The 163 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.759 rest of the world does not operate like the border 164 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.440 between Colorado and Wyoming. That that's not how it goes. 165 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.360 And this guy got caught up in this thing. 166 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.919 You don't just go to Syria, Okay, It's not like 167 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.960 going to Spain even that. 168 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.200 I mean, you have to be documented to go into Spain. 169 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.360 You got to tell the government of Spain when you're 170 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.279 going to be leaving Spain. I mean, though, this is 171 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.799 and people who take advantage of that or none, no 172 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.799 wrong word. People who don't acknowledge that end up getting 173 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.559 in trouble. And this guy got in a lot of 174 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.639 trouble and very lucky that this I guess you'd call 175 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.679 it a revolution. You're very lucky it happened when it did, 176 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.039 because you'd be stuck in a Syrian prison forever. 177 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.519 I'll roll the dice in Spain. I would not roll 178 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:09.559 the dice in Syria. 179 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.399 Yeah, okay, I like that. They seem like a harsher people. 180 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.039 Well, okay, so we told you about Elon Musk and 181 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:23.399 Vivek and their new initiative to get people to join 182 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.120 them work eighty hours a week for free and whittle 183 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.799 down the government, the bloated government, right, getting rid of 184 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.679 government waste. One of the people that assigned up for 185 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.000 the job is a woman named Sarah Armstrong. She is 186 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.440 fifty five years old. She's a certified public accountant from Pennsylvania. 187 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.600 She's worked in finance and operations for more than thirty years. 188 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.320 She says she's ready to leave her job as a 189 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.320 VP of Ops for a company that makes electrical equipment 190 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.559 to volunteer for a doge. She says, I think this 191 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.600 is such a unique way to serve the country, and 192 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:03.840 more importantly, the people. Entrepreneurs, cryptocurrency consultants, real estate professor professionals, 193 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.960 software developers, insurance executives are all trying to land a 194 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.320 position with DOGE. 195 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:16.480 But what's in it for them outside of a feeling 196 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:16.960 of service. 197 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.919 Well, let us be honest, these are probably independently wealthy 198 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:20.879 people at this point. 199 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.120 They don't need the paycheck. 200 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.159 They've made a bunch of money in their careers and 201 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.279 they want to make maybe a difference. Maybe they find 202 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.360 this rewarding work in getting rid of government bloat. 203 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.879 So to that end, Courtney Gerten He says he's willing 204 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:40.039 to put his career on hold to help volunteer for 205 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:45.399 DOGE because a company he co founded was acquired last year. Now, 206 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.200 usually that means somebody got a huge paycheck, and that 207 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.639 may be to your point of this guy has the 208 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.879 ability and the time to take a pause in his employment, 209 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.600 not like the rest of us who could just say, 210 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.320 you know, I'm going to take eighteen months off and 211 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.360 solve the world's bureaucracy problems. The DOGE team would provide 212 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.159 advice to the White House Office of Management and Budget 213 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.919 for the incoming Trump administration. At least that's the way 214 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.200 that Elon and Vivek have been explaining it to House 215 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.919 and Senate members this week. They are going to be hurdles, 216 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:24.039 of course, the federal government spends more than six trillion annually. 217 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.519 Some of the biggest expenses would be off limits when 218 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.360 it comes to cuts. And one of the things that 219 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.480 they have said is this isn't just about going in 220 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.399 and redlining some of the budget items that exist. It 221 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:44.720 is shutting down entire portions of agencies that are redundant. 222 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.480 It's not even necessarily getting pulling money away or withholding 223 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.080 money from agencies. It's cutting entire departments, or cutting plans 224 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:59.480 or cutting these regulations that require money. 225 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.240 I'm excited about this. I'm excited to see it get going. 226 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.200 I mean, yes, it does suck for people who work 227 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.240 in the federal government and them being worried about their 228 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.879 job and their job security. I get that, But you 229 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.600 can't look at this monster and not say it's not bloated. 230 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.279 Well, and what is the what is the teeth? What 231 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.480 teeth do they have? That I think is going to 232 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.480 be the more interesting thing is what power can they 233 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.039 actually wield? Right now, it's the flashy new thing in DC, 234 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.679 and everybody wants to Everybody wants to jump on board 235 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.759 this thing because it is a although it should have 236 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.960 been done a long time ago. It's this great new 237 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:42.600 idea about how to cut down on government bloat. And 238 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.600 we've seen before when stories are done about the bridge 239 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.200 to nowhere or someone's pork project that they end up 240 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.639 putting into a bill that should never be connected to 241 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.200 the topic of the bill, but nothing ever comes of it. 242 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.120 You know, people in Congress talk about it all the time, 243 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.120 but nothing ever material. 244 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.200 Cutting down on the pork that's right, Yeah, yeah, we'll see. 245 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.279 But if there's two people that know how to get 246 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.679 things done, these are got Yeah. 247 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.519 Yeah. 248 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.679 Did you see the Elon Musk story that he's now 249 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:16.720 worth over four hundred billion dollars According to Bloomberg, His 250 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.679 nearly twenty billion dollar jump in wealth was a deal 251 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.000 that shot up the rocket company SpaceX's evaluation to about 252 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.519 three hundred and fifty billion. SpaceX and its investors agreed 253 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.000 to purchase as much as one point twenty five billion 254 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.879 of insider shares. The other thing came out of DC Today, 255 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:39.480 an independent watchdog group uncovered zero evidence that there were 256 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.840 any federal agents involved in inciting the January sixth assault 257 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.440 on the US capital. This came from the Justice Department 258 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.399 Inspector General Michael Horowitz found no evidence that there were 259 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.799 any undercover employees present among the thousands of Trump supporters 260 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.759 who stormed the Capitol that day, even among the crowds 261 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.120 of Trump supporters who attended protests around d C in 262 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:01.960 different parts of DC throughout the day. 263 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.360 Trump says he wants the American worker to be invested 264 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.080 in the economy. He told CNBC Today, he wants the 265 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.279 American worker to wake up and love to go to 266 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.759 work for a lot of money. He made these comments 267 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.559 while bringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, 268 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.639 first time for him. There on Wall Street, he discussed 269 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.039 what he learned during his first stint at president. Said 270 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.840 he didn't know a lot of people then, but now 271 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.440 he has, in his words, people coming out of his ears. 272 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.519 That's odd, NodD place, that's odd. 273 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.399 Mysterious drones that have been reported flying over parts in 274 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.399 New Jersey in recent weeks appear to avoid detection by 275 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.519 traditional wreck methods like helicopter and radio. That's at least 276 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.840 according to a state lawmaker who was briefed yesterday by 277 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.159 the Department of Homeland Security. In a post on social media, 278 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.559 assembly Woman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 279 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.840 six feet in diameter, sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. 280 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.120 That's illegal. The devices do not appear to be flown 281 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:01.200 by hobbyists, she wrote. White House had a news conference 282 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.200 just a short time ago, and John Kirby, who was 283 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:09.679 a spokesperson for the National Security Agency, suggested that these 284 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:16.759 may be manned aerial vehicles, so someone may be flying them. 285 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.360 More reason why people are going to start taking shots 286 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.320 at these things if the government can't figure out what's 287 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:23.679 going on. 288 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.639 And indictment could soon come against the guy charged with 289 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:31.440 murdering the CEO from United Healthcare. ABC News reporting that 290 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.720 the Manhattan DA's office started presenting evidence to a grand 291 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.799 jury and hoping to secure that murder indictment against Luigi Mangioni. 292 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.320 Now you've got some faction of people saying that he 293 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.200 is a hero for taking this guy out. There's another 294 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.840 faction of people who are saying that they've pinned it 295 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.279 on the wrong guy because of a difference in his eyebrows, 296 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.519 that these are not all the same person. I'm going 297 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.600 back to my original conspiracy theory and now realizing how 298 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:05.319 crazy I sound from time to time. So it's a wild, 299 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.119 wild pond to dip your toe into online with people 300 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.279 and their theories about Luigi Mangioni. 301 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.200 Yeah, it proves, well, it doesn't prove. It is a 302 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:23.519 weird explanation. No, it's another symptom perhaps of our divided nature. 303 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.319 It's just it's a mashup too of conspiracy theorists who 304 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.559 don't trust the government and people who have been screwed 305 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.839 over by the healthcare industry, and they're coming together and 306 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.559 it's concentric circles of just weirdness out there. 307 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.759 We for a couple of weeks now been following what's 308 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:44.079 going on in Syria. Obviously, Bashar Assad was thrown out 309 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.079 of power made his way to Russia after rebels basically 310 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.680 coming from the northern part of the country made their 311 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.880 way all the way to Damascus and were able to 312 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.079 kick Bashar Assad out. Despite the fact that he's got 313 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.799 Russia and Iran on his team, they really couldn't do 314 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.400 much about it. Of the side stories is the prisons. 315 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.839 The political prisoners who had been imprisoned in Syria are 316 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.480 being let out, many of them not having been seen 317 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:13.440 for months or years in some cases, and their families 318 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.559 not even knowing whether or not they were alive. Well, 319 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:21.160 here's a guy, a guy from Missouri. Apparently Travis Timmerman, 320 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.759 an American believed to have gone missing from Budapest, Hungary, 321 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.319 earlier this year. He explains to a reporter from CBS 322 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.720 that he decided to travel from Lebanon to Syria and 323 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.000 was on the border between Lebanon and Syria for a 324 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.880 few days. 325 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.160 Without water or food. 326 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.119 Not just Syrian border official or cop found him. You 327 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.960 can't do that. They put you in prison there. 328 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.519 It was the hardest part of being dumb. 329 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.680 There wasn't a hard part dumbass. 330 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.759 It wasn't too bad, It wasn't bad, it wasn't bad beaten. 331 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.559 The only really bad part was that I couldn't go 332 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.200 to the bathroom when I wanted to. 333 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:07.799 I was only let out. 334 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.640 Three times a day to go to the bathroom, So 335 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.799 that was quite the hardship. 336 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:14.759 It probably let him out because they were tired of 337 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.480 his dumb ass. 338 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:25.480 He was apparently on a Christian pilgrimage to Damascus. People 339 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.720 like this can just stay, go missing and stay. If 340 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.640 you're going to be that stupid to go into Syria 341 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.160 without any sort of. 342 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:35.000 Plan and you know they detain you, then that's what 343 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.640 that's that's what's going to happen. 344 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.559 His uncle, Richard, a great uncle, I should say, said 345 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.039 he was shocked to hear that Travis had been found 346 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:47.680 in Syria. 347 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.799 The last he knew of Travis, he was working in Chicago. 348 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.359 The family had been looking for him, but no one's 349 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.759 been able to find anything about him because he's been 350 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.640 stuck in a Syrian prison for a couple of months. 351 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.920 He's very responsible. He's not a criminal kind of person. No, no, no, no, 352 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.599 he's just as The expectation is not that he's a criminal, 353 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.480 is that he didn't think that through. 354 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.079 If you're called by God to go to Damascus, maybe. 355 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.240 You ask God a couple more follow up questions in 356 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.599 your prayer time, something like, well, how how. 357 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.960 Do I get to Damascus? 358 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.160 I think you're trying to ascribe logic to a Q 359 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:31.599 and A with the Lord our father, right, I mean, 360 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.240 you usually don't question God. 361 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.400 I'm not saying that you don't do what he tells 362 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.440 you to do. I'm just saying, if you are hearing 363 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.039 the voice of God tell you to go to Damascus, 364 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.720 maybe you ask some follow ups like I would love 365 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.279 to do your work. Are there ways that I might 366 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.759 be able to protect myself? 367 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.599 Do you know about the original Santa from the Bible. 368 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.480 From the Bible, Yeah, no, Okay, there was an actual 369 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.240 bishop who lived in Turkey during the Roman Empire. His 370 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.759 name was Saint Nicholas of Myra, lived from two seventy 371 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.000 to three forty three. His gift giving began when he 372 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.599 provided money for three impoverished girls who needed a dowry 373 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.759 to escape a life of penury and pain. That means 374 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.240 extreme poverty. He provided the money during the night so 375 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.359 that the gift would be anonymous. His habit of secret 376 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.480 gift giving is a source behind the current present day 377 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.599 Santa Saint Nick or center clause. 378 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:35.400 Have you ever heard of that? 379 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.559 Center clause cinter Klaus, Yeah, center claus. He exemplified the 380 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:44.759 love of God by blessing those in need throughout his life. 381 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.519 Jesus was born, sorry, Jesus was born into poverty so 382 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:56.240 that we can experience the riches of heaven one day. 383 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.000 The takeaway is is that Saint Nick put faith into act, 384 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.480 and so should we not just during Christmas, but throughout 385 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:03.880 the year. 386 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.119 Okay, I have a question, Yeah. 387 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.279 Was this Saint Nick in the Bible or he just 388 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.960 lived in a time that was. 389 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.680 Because you said biblical? 390 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:17.519 Right? Yeah? 391 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.599 So probably not, because the Roman Empire happened after the 392 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.559 Bible caught you, right, you caught me what I am 393 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:35.880 reading from a book that is excerpts of the Bible. 394 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.279 Here's here's the Bible verse that goes along with the story. 395 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:43.240 It's from John one, dear children, let us not love 396 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.440 with words or speech, but with actions and in truth. 397 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:51.319 Okay, boom, as prescribed by John Saint Nick. 398 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.519 But he doesn't say that. No, it's just the Bible verse. 399 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.720 It goes along with the nice story about the first 400 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.400 Santa as opposed to the modern day Santa. 401 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.000
