I'm gonna go 5 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.440 ahead and give I'm gonna share the screen for anybody 6 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.280 who would like to see what we're talking about or 7 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.519 participate in this. 8 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.000 Conversation next week. 9 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.480 What you can do is go down to the links below, 10 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.679 go to patreon dot com slash Cajun Night. 11 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:32.920 There's only one tier for entry. 12 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.479 We're not trying to make this some massive army, but 13 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.000 at the same time, I wouldn't be mad if it 14 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.119 became some massive army. I'm here for all of it. 15 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.920 But yeah, let's get right into it here. This is 16 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.880 from the Military Times as a matter of fact, So 17 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.240 a retired foward star admiral found guilty on four charges 18 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.759 stemming from bribery allegations. I didn't know this was really 19 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.759 a thing until I heard a couple of other military 20 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.200 content creators talking about and I was like, well, let's 21 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.079 dive into it, shall we. The corruption try Retired Admiral 22 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.079 Robert Burke concluded Monday with him being found guilty of 23 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.480 four criminal counts, including bribery charges, by a jury in Washington, DC. 24 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.959 His attorney and others in the courtroom confirmed to military 25 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.359 dot Com. Burke, once the second highest ranking leader in 26 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.400 the Navy, was charged by federal prosecutors last year on 27 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.719 allegations that he directed a lucrative Navy contract to an 28 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.920 executive training company Next Jump in twenty twenty one while 29 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.200 serving as a four star admiral. The company later hired 30 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.400 him in twenty twenty two for a starting salary of 31 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.319 five hundred thousand per year. And we hear about this, right, 32 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.599 retiring generals, retired admirals jumping on as a consultant for 33 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.640 some company making ungodly amounts of money right out the rip. 34 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.439 I don't know. I don't know if that was what 35 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.760 the connections were necessarily, or what types of training that 36 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:56.680 this company had. But at the same time, if it's 37 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.640 an executive training company and he's a four star admiral 38 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.920 meaning that he knows how to run people and manage 39 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.799 people at very high levels, doesn't sound crazy to me. 40 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.400 But where is the whole bribery thing happening here? 41 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.080 Right? However, Burke's case turned out to be anything but simple. 42 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.039 After it was announced, the case quickly became mired in 43 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.919 questions about the reliability of the government's primary witness, Burke's 44 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.560 over to a one time lover, and next Jump executives 45 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.199 managed to split themselves off into separate trials after arguing 46 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.800 that they were actually victim of victims of Burke's lies 47 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.520 and manipulations. Burke is now the most senior military leader 48 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.400 in recent history to be convicted for actions they took 49 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.840 as part of their military service. By the end of 50 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.800 his career, Burke served as Vice Chief of Naval Operations 51 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.159 and then commander of US Naval Forces Europe and US 52 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.560 Naval Forces Africa. He was convicted of conspiracy to defraud 53 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.120 the US bribery, concealing material facts, and personally enriching himself. 54 00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.719 Yeah, that's these are kind of big deal charges. 55 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.680 This is it in little boy jail. This is big 56 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.000 boy jail. The defendant violated the public trust for his 57 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.159 own personal gain, prosecutors told the jury last week, you 58 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.400 also know why a contract for a job tim parlor, 59 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.000 parlator or parlatory, I'm not sure. The lawyer for Burke 60 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.879 called the decision a wrongful verdict. And told military dot 61 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.439 Com that it was the result of a hastily hasty 62 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.120 trial in which the government went to grant great lengths 63 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.039 to present evidence that showed only half the story. Parlatary, 64 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.479 I'm just gonna roll with that, noted that the trial 65 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.800 was initially set to run for three weeks but concluded 66 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.919 in five days and with the government not even presenting 67 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.000 all of its evidence. This case demonstrates that when you 68 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.639 start with a bad investigation by incompetent investigators, you end 69 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.520 up with the case that the only way you can 70 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.639 get a conviction is. 71 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.479 By hiding the evidence from the jury. 72 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.120 Parlatorio, who has represented several other high profile military figures, 73 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.000 said that he plans to file an appeal. Military dot 74 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.800 Com reached out to the Justice Department for content comment. 75 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.120 Of course, they did not answer. 76 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.439 Next year, UMP, which was the company, was awarded its 77 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.879 first Navy contract in early twenty eighteen for around two 78 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.879 million dollars. A second contract followed later that year for 79 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.080 ten million dollars to quote train part of the Navy workforce, 80 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:13.960 according to. 81 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.120 Core documents the company filed last year. 82 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.439 At that time, the Navy was reeling from a pair 83 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.360 of deadly at sea collisions in the Pacific Ocean that 84 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.279 not only killed nearly twenty sailors, but also exposed a 85 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.480 problematic culture that it was willing to ignore years of 86 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.759 warnings about fatigue, poor training, and leadership uninterested in hearing 87 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:32.800 any please for help. 88 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:35.920 Color me shocked. 89 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.160 The military hierarchy was willing to ignore years of warnings 90 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.600 about fatigue, willing to overlook poor training, and has leadership 91 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.600 that's uninterested in hearing any please for help from their subordinates. 92 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.920 Gotta say again, Wow, WHOA color me shocked here? But anyway, 93 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.879 Burke was Next Jump's main point of contact for the 94 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.360 ne and according to the company, by twenty nineteen he 95 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.600 had their two top executives, Charlie Kim and Megan Messenger, 96 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.079 chasing a one hundred million dollar proposal that would be 97 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.519 to their biggest contract yet. However, at trial, Parlatori argued 98 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.920 that Kim and Messenger were merely want to be defense 99 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.920 contractors who were lying to company investors as part of 100 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.360 an effort to grow their business. The contract never materialized, 101 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.600 and according to court transcripts, the company was getting negative 102 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.959 feedback on the training it had conducted, so they completely 103 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.439 buffaloed this and then gave him a kickback for the 104 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.120 jobs that they were being awarded one hundred percent. Still, 105 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.199 the group had a meeting in a restaurant in Washington, 106 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.279 DC that included Burke's alleged girlfriend, and according to the prosecution, 107 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.160 the defendants solidified their agreement and worked out the details 108 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.399 a contract for a job. That is not how government 109 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.319 contracts are awarded. Never over a lunch. Well they're not 110 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.720 supposed to be awarded over a lunch. I mean, you 111 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.160 know what happens behind closed doors, behind closed doors. But yeah, this, 112 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.959 this is not a good thing for it to come 113 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.439 to light. Parlatory argued that the meeting was totally above board. 114 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.480 Burke arrived in uniform, driven by staff, and while the 115 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.000 topic of a job post retirement came up, it wouldn't 116 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.199 necessarily be unexpected that somebody would at least ask about 117 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.800 a salary. He had in his closing remarks, or he 118 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.759 said in his closing remarks, I would agree with that. 119 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.000 But just because you were in uniform and had military 120 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.279 personnel driving you to a lunch to iron out details 121 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.800 of a contract that hadn't been awarded yet, yeah, no, okay, 122 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.279 But at the end of it, there was an agreement. No, 123 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.199 there was no deal, parlatory set in the closing remarks. 124 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.120 Instead of a large contract, the company ultimately got a 125 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.399 far smaller three hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract, of 126 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.199 which they only got about two. 127 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.399 Hundred and fifty thousand parlatory set in court. 128 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.120 After he retired, Burke got a job at next Jump 129 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.839 with a half a million dollars a year salary. Kim 130 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.120 and Messenger offered the defendant a job in exchange for 131 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.160 a Navy contract. The prosecution set in closing arguments it 132 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.040 was a bribe the defendant readily accept and then because 133 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.000 he knew it was going to be wrong, he lied 134 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.240 to cover it up. Meanwhile, hanging over the tribal trial 135 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.759 was also something that never showed up inside the courtroom. 136 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.000 Burke's alleged former girlfriend and a key witness for the prosecution. 137 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.680 She has been described by the defense as a top 138 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.319 civilian official working in the office of the Undersecretary of 139 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.120 the Navy. As a witness one in court documents military 140 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.680 dot COM's with holding her identity yeaha yeah, yeah yah. 141 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.680 Lawyers for Kim and Messenger argued in a filing aimed 142 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.279 at exit excluding evidence from the woman that a trial 143 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.800 court judge in Virginia found that Witness one had lied 144 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.839 extensively about her ex husband in contentious divorce and child 145 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:43.959 custody proceedings. 146 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.199 OK so they're already trying. 147 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.199 To bring into question of the character of Witness one 148 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:55.439 aka Burke's girlfriend, Parlatorio wasn't even further. This entire case 149 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.399 rests on the credibility of Witness one, a known liar 150 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.600 and perjurer, and the search warrants issued in this investigation 151 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:08.240 relied almost entirely on Witness one statement to investigators. The 152 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.399 woman's credibility was at issue because her evidence was key 153 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.360 in getting warrants that were used to gather the evidence 154 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.800 that would in turn lead to the indictments. However, lawyers 155 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.680 for Burke and the two CEOs noted that prosecutors failed 156 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.720 to tell the judge handling the matter. Ultimately, the woman 157 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.600 didn't testify at Burke's trial, and neither did Burke himself. However, 158 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.600 prosecutors did mention some of the exchanges that she said 159 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.120 with Burke, including one where he told her, I've essentially 160 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.799 agreed to work for next Jump. 161 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.919 After the meeting in the restaurant, while Burke's. 162 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.080 Trial now concluded, the trial of Kim and Messenger are next. 163 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.440 The paratold military dot com that they are eager to 164 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.000 use the trial to showcase a variety of emails and 165 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.600 other documents that they say how Burke, along with other 166 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.360 top Navy leaders, conspired to lie and deceive the company 167 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.039 and then hide the evidence. 168 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.840 Okay, so they are going. 169 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.120 Out of their way to try to show that they 170 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.159 didn't have anything to do with this, even you know, 171 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.519 the contracts being awarded to them enriched them. 172 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.799 But it's not like they I don't know. 173 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.919 I don't know. I could see this being that they 174 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.679 would go down with it because they had to bribe 175 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.360 him with something in order to win these contracts, but 176 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.480 bribing with a job, it kind of seems like a reach. 177 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.279 But at the same time, I don't know Next Jump 178 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.679 very well. I don't know their business model. I don't 179 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.240 know what kind of consulting they do for military contracts 180 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.240 and things. So I don't really understand it all. But okay, 181 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.159 they have dozens of communications with the Navy. I think 182 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.600 it'll be a little embarrassing for the Navy. According to Parliatory, 183 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:42.639 Burke's sentencing is set for August twenty second. So okay, 184 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.360 right out the rip, I figured we could start off 185 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.279 with something a little close to home, you know. And 186 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.279 while this one isn't exactly a good news article to 187 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.840 bring up, it is good to see corruption be brought 188 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.639 to light. Right. 189 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:54.879 These are positive things. 190 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.480 Now when you talk about something that is not so positive, okay, 191 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.879 this is it's kind of a disgusting thing that. 192 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:03.240 Happened in Palm Springs. 193 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.200 I don't know if anybody has heard about this one, Okay, 194 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.840 authority say suspect in California fertility clinic car bombing left 195 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.519 behind and anti pro life writings. Okay, So for anybody 196 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.080 who doesn't know, there was a in vitro fertility clinic 197 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.360 in Palm Springs in an upscale area of California. Well 198 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.120 the area was upscale anyway. This it's in the middle 199 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.720 of the desert. I mean, take there what you want. 200 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.919 But apparently this twenty five year old dude decided to 201 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.840 make a car bomb and I'm not I need to 202 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.360 say on the live he decided to use himself as 203 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.039 the detonator. 204 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.279 Here. 205 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.960 He believed that babies shouldn't be born without giving their 206 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.840 express consent. You heard me, right, as I said that 207 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.039 basically he believes that humanity just needs to die, or 208 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.159 believed past tense. He's no longer with us, but yes, 209 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.639 as it is something that's happening in the US, I 210 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.720 felt like it was our place to talk about it here. 211 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.320 A twenty five year old man the FBI believes was 212 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.360 responsible for an explosion that ripped through a southern California's 213 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.159 fertility clinic left behind an anti pro life writings before 214 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.399 carrying out the attack. Investigators called terrorism Authority said on Sunday, 215 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:25.440 Guy Edward Bartcuss of twenty nine Palms, California, which there's 216 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.759 a Marine Corps base out there and it sucks. So, 217 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.600 I mean, this guy grew up there. I can only 218 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:34.039 imagine it sucks was identified by the FBI as the 219 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.279 suspect in the apparent car bombing detonation Saturday. The damaged 220 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.279 the clinic in an upscale city of Palm Springs in 221 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.320 the desert east of Los Angeles. His writing seemed to 222 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.919 indicate anti natalist views, which hold that people should not 223 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.919 continue to procreate. This guy was an absolute nut job. 224 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.440 The blast gutted the American Reproductive Center's fertility clinic and 225 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.039 shattered the windows of a nearby building, along with palm 226 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.000 tree line streets. 227 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.320 Witnesses described allow boom. 228 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.200 Followed by a chaotic scene with people screaming in terror 229 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.480 as glass strewn across the sidewalk in street. Investigators said 230 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.159 Barcas died in the blast, which a senior FBI official 231 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.279 call possibly the largest bombing scene that we've had in 232 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.519 southern California. A body was found near the charred vehicle 233 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.240 outside the clinic. They believe that was Barcas. Barcus attempted 234 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.720 to live stream the explosion and left behind writings that 235 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:27.519 communicated nihilistic ideations that were still being examined to determine 236 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.159 his state of mind, said Akil Davis, the Assistant director 237 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.080 in charge of FBI's Los Angeles Field office. US Attorney 238 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.600 Ballal bill Asali god, I hope I'm pronouncing that right. 239 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.320 The top federal prosecutor in the area called the message 240 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.440 anti pro life. This was a targeted attack against the 241 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.840 IVF facility. Make no mistake, we are treating this, as 242 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.960 I said yesterday, as an intentional act of terrorism. 243 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.279 I don't know the writings. I haven't read the manifesto. 244 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.440 To be terroristic, it has to be for political or 245 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.360 to achieve some sort of a political goal, or to 246 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:07.639 get a political message across to say, pro life is political. 247 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.960 So I could see that like the guy who the 248 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.159 Catholic guy who blew up the abortion clinic. Yeah, terrorist, 249 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.200 I get it, anti pro life and blowing up a 250 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:23.039 fertility clinic. I don't know. Maybe his manifesto was like 251 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:28.240 overtly politically biased, or this guy was just a twenty 252 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:32.039 five year old nut job who wanted to offer himself 253 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.519 and make it seem like the most grandiose spectacle he 254 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.440 could come up with. So this happened now. Thankfully no 255 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.679 one else died as a result of this kid's stupidity. 256 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.120 There were four other people that were injured. 257 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.279 However, the building was pretty tore up, but all things considered, 258 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:53.720 he was the only victim of his own idiocracy. Authorities 259 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.120 that were executing a surge hoarrant in twenty nine Palms, 260 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.039 the city of twenty eight thousand residents about fifty miles 261 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.679 north east of Home Springs, as part of the investigation. 262 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.799 He said, thank god, today happened to be the day 263 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.360 that we have no patience. Doctor Mara Abdallah, who leads 264 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.360 the clinic, told the Associated Press in a phone interview Saturday. Yeah, 265 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.879 there was no patience in the clinic, so thankfully no 266 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.840 one else is injured except the dumbass, which I guess, 267 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.480 you know, you get what you deserve. As far as 268 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.519 that's concerned, I don't really understand it, and I don't 269 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.559 think this is some sort of a microcosm. I saw 270 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.840 other articles that were trying to say that this is 271 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.399 a microcosm for what this younger generation believes. He's a 272 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.639 twenty five year old nut job, and they were saying 273 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.559 that could this be a new sentiment felt by all 274 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.320 of these young twenty something year olds, that all of 275 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.960 them think that no kid should be born and we 276 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.759 just all need to die and all these things. I 277 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.519 know multiple people in their early twenties, and none of 278 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.200 them feel this way about it. 279 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.960 I don't believe it was a microcosm. 280 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:54.559 Either way. 281 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.799 It goes the guy committed the act. 282 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.559 This is them cleaning up the wreckage from the fertil clinic. 283 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.200 Thank god nobody else was injured, but it is a 284 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.120 thing that did take place. Now, let's talk a little 285 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.200 bit about the New Orleans prison escape that took place. 286 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.000 Now, I didn't want to pull. 287 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.279 Up the article that talked about you know, there's a 288 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.879 few days old article, and they kept saying how many 289 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:19.879 of them were still at large and all of these things. 290 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.639 Didn't exactly want to talk about that because I found 291 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.639 an article that's as up to date as I could 292 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.240 find it as time for recording. But I did want 293 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.120 to go down the rundown of the timeline of the 294 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.240 jail break. So here's the rundown. At ten thirty pm 295 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.639 Central time on Thursday May fifteenth, the night before the escape, 296 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.639 the jail was placed on lockdown, according to the Sheriff's 297 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.960 Office Orleans, Paari Sheriff Susan Hudson later told reporters her 298 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.840 agency had been asking local officials for years for millions 299 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.039 of dollars of funding to upgrade faulty locks on cell doors, 300 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.639 so we're already off to a grade start here. In 301 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.159 the early pre dawn hours of Friday, May sixteenth, no 302 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.759 sheriff's deputy was assigned to the part of the jail 303 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.559 where the escaped inmates were incarcerated, and a civilian worker 304 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.080 monitoring the area had briefly stepped away to get food. 305 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.279 According to the Sheriff's office, around twelve twenty two am, 306 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.440 a surveillance camera captured several inmates out of their cells 307 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.960 forcing open another cell sliding door. According to the Sheriff's office, 308 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.919 all right, I don't know if it's gonna let. 309 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.519 Me play this video it did earlier. 310 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.799 Oh it's not. 311 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.759 Oh come on, dang, it's not gonna only play the video. 312 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.519 They basically show the video right here of these dudes 313 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.879 just basically racking the door over and over again until 314 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.000 it finally opened up. 315 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.159 But yeah, it was. 316 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.279 It's not like these were some criminal masterminds that set 317 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:46.480 about to do this crazy Shawshank redemption style prison escape. 318 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.600 Not at all. They basically just rocked this door until 319 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.399 it came off and then they all took off out. 320 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.080 The back by about twelve forty three am. 321 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.759 So twelve twenty two they're trying to get the doors 322 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.759 open twelve forty three, multiple inmates had entered the cell 323 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.480 that they were trying to access, according to the Sheriff's Office. 324 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.039 Inside the cell, the inmates were moved a combination of 325 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.960 sink toilet from the wall and of the cell and 326 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.480 created a hole in the wall. According to the Affidavid, 327 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.319 they were able to sell steal bars behind the seal 328 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.480 cells sink, per the Affidavid, So this is what it 329 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.759 was supposed to look like. They basically just broke this out. 330 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.480 So that's good things for them, you know. They able 331 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.079 to make their escape with the water being turned off. 332 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.119 The inmates were able to successfully make good on their escapes. 333 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.680 Louisiana Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Michael Moore wrote in 334 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.359 the Affidavid. If the inmates removed the sink in the 335 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.519 cell and disconnected the rest of the plumbing with the 336 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.599 water still on, the plan to escape would not have 337 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.960 been successful and potentially flooded the cell, drawing attention to 338 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.880 their actions. Yeah, well they found a way to turn 339 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.559 it off. At about one am, another surveillance camera captured 340 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.200 the inmates fleeing the building through a loading dock. According 341 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.200 to the Sheriff's office, the group then went down a 342 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.240 perimeter road toward a new. 343 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.160 Part of the facility that's under construction. 344 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.559 At about one nineteen am, the inmates were seen climbing 345 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.200 the fence separating the jail from the construction site. According 346 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.759 to the Sheriff's office, the inmates used blankets to protect 347 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.680 themselves from the bar wire on the fence. Traffic camera 348 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.160 captured the inmates dashing across I ten and entering a 349 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.160 nearby neighborhood Sheriff's Office investigators found discarded clothing in the 350 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.400 neighborhoods that believed to have belonged to the inmates. At 351 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.640 eight thirty am, the inmates disappearance was discovered during a 352 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.000 routine headcount, and the jails leadership was told of the 353 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:29.759 escape at eight thirty five. 354 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.640 According to them, the alarm spurled spurred. 355 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.720 Jail staff to search the facility, and investigation looked through 356 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.039 the surveillance video footage. All right, so real quick, eight 357 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.720 thirty eight thirty five is when they finally were like 358 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.240 understood that they escaped and they had left the building 359 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.440 at let's see here, what was that time? Around one am? 360 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.960 So they had a solid seven and a half hour 361 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.519 head start. 362 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.039 Okay, shortly before ten am, surveillance footage for. 363 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.880 A nonprofit CA crime camera organization captured inmate Kendall Miles 364 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.880 twenty on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Yeah, straight up, 365 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.319 he escaped. First thing he did was go to Bourbon Street. 366 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.480 I can't say that I support that. You know, I've 367 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.559 never been in prison. I've never escaped prison. But it 368 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.200 seems like you would not want to go now, I mean, 369 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.720 maybe hiding in Playton site. Maybe that was his idea. 370 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:27.640 I don't know. Authorities capture Miles around eleven thirty am. 371 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.559 So he was out there breathing the free air for 372 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.880 about three hours, all right, dude. Louisiana State patri State 373 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.960 Police said troopers spotted him in the French Quarter and 374 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.000 chased him on foot. According to the Sheriff's office, he 375 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.079 was found hiding under a car at a hotel parking garage. 376 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.200 All right, So they go down the list of some 377 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.440 of them that they had captured. But that's also a 378 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.119 slightly older article that was just it gave a really 379 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.319 good timeline of the chain of events as they took place. 380 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.319 So as of now, we still have a few that 381 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.640 are on the run. After nearly a weekek of no 382 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.640 inmate arrest from May sixteenth Orleans Parish jail escape, three 383 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.279 of the men who broke out of the facility were 384 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.559 apprehended outside New Orleans metro on Memorial Day. The manhunt 385 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.359 has now cross state lines, with multiple agencies aiding in 386 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.119 the latest arrests. Two men, Antoine Massey and Derrick Groves 387 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.400 remain at large as of Tuesday morning. These are the 388 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.799 three that were arrested on Memorial Day. Baton Rouge Police 389 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.720 said Van Buren was arrested sitting on a bench near 390 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.240 a department store following an anonymous. 391 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.160 Tip, Oh is this where the video is? 392 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.960 Yeah? This is the video? All right, so y'll check 393 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.640 this in out. This is pretty cool. Well, I mean 394 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.440 not cool, you know what I'm saying. It's cool that 395 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:43.559 we have the ability to see this. So that's them 396 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.920 trying to jam the door open. And like they said, 397 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.799 they have been begging for years to get more funding. Now, granted, 398 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.559 I understand that every department is asking for more funding, 399 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.559 every prison is saying that they need more funding. But yo, 400 00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.559 if you got faulty locks that are this bad to 401 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.440 where no, no, no, no. Legitimately, they could just break open 402 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.680 the cells whenever they want. We need better locks, Like, yeah, yeah, 403 00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.160 I get it. Let's see if we can fast forward 404 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.920 a little bit here. Yep, there they go. They finally 405 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.240 get it an open and has them taking off out 406 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.839 the back. Go ahead, there, Royce. 407 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.440 I just have a quick question, so A, so if 408 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.000 this got caught on camera, A, where are the guards there. 409 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.160 They should be like actively looking at this shit. Second 410 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.440 of all, from watching all these documentaries and shit about 411 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.440 prison in jail, there should be a lot of cops. 412 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:39.559 There should be counts to make sure the inmates are 413 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.000 there at a certain point in time. There's literally no 414 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.440 reason why they should have gone seven hours without knowing, 415 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.720 like this should have been like an immediate thing. 416 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.920 You would think, you would think, but apparently the only 417 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.880 one that was on duty was a I think they said, 418 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.079 like a civilian contractor or something that was there and 419 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.960 he had left to go get some food. So yeah, 420 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.279 now I agree with you one hundred percent. There's multiple 421 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:09.480 reasons why they should have never happened. Yet here we are. 422 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.119 It's insane to me. They legitimately went seven and a 423 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.680 half hours of a jump start, and granted some of 424 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.400 them were caught relatively quickly. 425 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.559 Some of them made their way to Texas. There are those. 426 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:25.960 That ate in and abedded in getting some of these 427 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.880 guys out of the state. 428 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.119 There's two as these. 429 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.079 Are the ten gentlemen, as a matter of fact, that 430 00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:35.519 all escaped the prison. It says right here Patricia van Buren, 431 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.960 she's eighteen, and Tyshanna Randolph twenty seven were arrested on 432 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.400 Saturday and booked in the Plaquamin Parish jail on counts 433 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:45.960 of accessories after the fact. 434 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.240 They're accused of driving one. 435 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.119 Of the escapees from Louisiana to a family member's house 436 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.519 in Mississippi, according to court documents, So some of these 437 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.640 guys are smart enough to get to family members, get 438 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.039 to cars, and you know, try to high tail it 439 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.519 out of the state. Most of them have been caught. 440 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.359 But of these ten, I believe it's these two gentlemen 441 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:09.640 here that are still at large. That's now Van Buren. 442 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:17.680 And where was the other one, Groves? Derrick Groves. I 443 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.640 think they said he's the one that's still at large 444 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.960 as of now. Not trying to spend a whole lot 445 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.759 of time on it, but I mean, it's not very 446 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.319 often we hear about a sizeable prison break, especially out 447 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.880 of New Orleans, so I thought it was worth mentioning. Okay, Now, 448 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:35.480 it is not very often that we hear Elon go 449 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:39.680 against something that Donald Trump is trying to push. However, 450 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.720 as Elon is kind of stepping away from the lead 451 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.759 role in DOGE and as Trump is trying to push 452 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.200 his big, beautiful Bill I find it interesting that Elon 453 00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:51.359 is saying that this kind of negates all the work 454 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.440 that Doge has done up until this point. Let's listen in. 455 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:02.319 I'm Matt Gelica in Washington. Elon Musk is publicly breaking 456 00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.680 with the president in the White House over one of 457 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.640 Donald Trump's top priorities, the Big Beautiful Bill. 458 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.079 I think a bill can be big or it can 459 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:11.680 be beautiful. 460 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.079 I don't know if it could be both. 461 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.680 Elon Musk, the billionaire White House advisor who was a 462 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.000 fixture of the first four months or so of Donald 463 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:23.640 Trump's second term, is publicly breaking with the administration on 464 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.720 the Big Beautiful Bill. 465 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:29.839 I was like disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, 466 00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:35.200 which increases the Budge depsit not doesn't decrease it, and 467 00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.079 that reminds the work that the Dosee team is doing. 468 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.200 Musk's criticism comes as he's taken a step back from 469 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.920 government work after high profile public backlash to Doze's work 470 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.759 of trying to downsize the federal government. Doze rapidly cut staff, 471 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:51.960 programs and entire agencies since it was established earlier this year. 472 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.559 The Trump backed bill contains a number of the president's priorities, 473 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:58.559 but also carries an estimated two to four trillion dollar 474 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:02.160 price tag to pay for some the proposals, including extending 475 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.960 twenty seventeen tax cuts, defense spending, and more money for 476 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:07.119 immigration issues. 477 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.799 The reactions a lot of things. Number One, we have 478 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.559 to get a lot of votes. We can't be cutting 479 00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:16.079 you know. We need to get a lot of support, 480 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.039 and we have a lot of support. 481 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.680 Musk isn't the only ones speaking out about the bill 482 00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:24.119 that barely passed the House last week. Republican senators have 483 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:27.720 voice concerns over the potential added national debt the legislation 484 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.759 might bring, and those concerns could be enough to stall 485 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:31.759 the bill's progress. 486 00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:33.720 I think we have enough to stop the process and 487 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:36.799 tell the President gets serious about spending reduction and reducing 488 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:37.519 the death sit. 489 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.559 In a different interview with The Washington Post, Musk defended 490 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:44.000 Doje's work while admitting trimming the bureaucracy was tougher than 491 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.720 he thought it'd be. He also told the Post Doze 492 00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.519 turned into the whipping boy for everything in Washington. House 493 00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.160 Speaker Mike Johnson tweeted praise for DOJ's work on Wednesday, 494 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.119 and also a plan to make dojes cuds permanent. But 495 00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.400 those cuts can't be made in the current Big Beautiful 496 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.400 Bill Reckons package. They'd need to come through different budget processes. 497 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.680 Okay, now let's kind of go into a portion of 498 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.839 that Big Beautiful Bill. There are some people that love it, 499 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:13.440 some people that hate it. I haven't really read it 500 00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.640 all the way through, so I can't really speak much 501 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.599 on it. But something that is being talked about with 502 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.640 the Big Beautiful Bill is funding for the Golden Dome. Right, 503 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.880 the missile protection plan that Trump wants to put on 504 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.920 the continental US. 505 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.880 It's rather large, I get it. 506 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.680 But he has been saying for quite some time that 507 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.400 he would like to have something similar to Israel's Iron 508 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.200 Dome in America and wants called the Golden Dome. And 509 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.559 when he said this, you know, most countries kind of 510 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.440 stayed out of it. Who has an issue with the 511 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.880 country wanting to defend themselves even better? But I find 512 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.720 it interesting that now that it has come through to 513 00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:53.400 fruition and this Big Beautiful Bill has the funding to 514 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.839 make it real, China has stepped up and says that 515 00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.799 they do not like it. This is ABC News. Trump's 516 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.599 gold Dome risks weaponization of space. China says, all right, 517 00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.200 let's get into this, because China is trying to do 518 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.079 everything they can to dissuade Trump from putting up the 519 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.000 Golden Dome. Why why would China care that we have 520 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.359 the ability to protect ourselves against missiles hitting us? 521 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.240 I find it interesting. 522 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.240 And as we go into this article and we listen 523 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:32.079 to China's reasons for this, it doesn't make sense. It 524 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.799 doesn't make them look good at all. It kind of 525 00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.359 makes them look petty. But let's check it out here. 526 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:40.799 So this is the Chinese Foreign Ministry accused Donald Trump 527 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:45.119 of undermining global strategic balance and stability by pushing ahead 528 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.519 on his Golden Dome missile defense shield program, and urges 529 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.599 the US to abandon the project. They're saying that this 530 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.799 makes us too safe. They don't like how it's not 531 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.000 equal the balance and stability because everybody's got this whole 532 00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.799 mutually assured distrust actually understanding when it comes to who's 533 00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.160 a nuclear power and who's not. Now, everybody who's listening 534 00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.119 to me talk about this before knows that I think 535 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.359 it's a really retarded talking point. No one's launching nukes, 536 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:14.440 no one is, even if you have them, yeah, that 537 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.160 makes you a nuclear power. You're not going to launch 538 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.519 nuclear bombs. You have the ability to, but that would 539 00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.039 be a suicide for yourself. Everyone understands this. It's never 540 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.319 gonna happen. But somehow US setting this up makes us 541 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:34.559 imbalanced and disproportionately better defended than China, who is another 542 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:36.920 nuclear nation. And for the record, they're the only ones 543 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.599 speaking up saying that this is a bad idea for us. 544 00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.039 Again, I find this side. But let's keep going here. 545 00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:42.920 Uh. 546 00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:46.559 Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the project in 547 00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.599 the Oval Office briefing on Tuesday, confirming reports that the 548 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:53.119 administration was seeking to establish a missile defense umbrella. The 549 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.079 presidents said would be capable of intercepting missiles even if 550 00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:58.200 they are launched from the other side of the world, 551 00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:02.200 and even if they are launched from space. Again, I 552 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.640 love this personally. I don't know why we haven't put 553 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.279 this in place sooner, but anyway, the project will cost 554 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.519 around one hundred and seventy five billion dollars and be 555 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.519 operational in three years, Trump said. 556 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.759 Chinese Foreign Ministry spoke to Mail. 557 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.119 Mao Ning probably mispronouncing it, but you know it's China, 558 00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.960 soa whatever toll reporters at a Wednesday briefing that the 559 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.559 proposed shield will heighten the risk of turning the space 560 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.880 into a war zone and creating a space arms race 561 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.039 and shake the international security and arms control system, according 562 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:36.880 to a readout posted on the ministry's website. So, I'm 563 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.799 gonna go ahead and take a little second here, did 564 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.519 we or did we not have the forming of the 565 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.319 Space Force because and I quote, space is a war 566 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:52.759 fighting front according to our current president. So I feel 567 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:59.000 like it's possible, possible China might now be getting the point. 568 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.400 It's interesting that he said literally that four years ago, 569 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.799 and now China's saying that this is going to turn 570 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.880 space into a war zone, creating a space arms race. 571 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:18.240 Mm hmmm, this would be the point, Thank you, China. 572 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:22.680 It plans to expand the US arsenal of means for 573 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.640 combat operations in outer space, including R and D and 574 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:31.799 deployment of an orbital interception system. I love it. That 575 00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:35.480 gives the project a specific offensive nature and violates the 576 00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.160 principle of peaceful use in outer space. It excuse me, 577 00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.319 the principle of peaceful Use in the Outer Space Treaty. 578 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:46.039 She added, referring to the nineteen sixty seven Agreement, which, 579 00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:49.599 among other things, prohibited the use of nuclear weapons in 580 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.480 space and limited any usage of all celestial bodies for 581 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:58.559 peaceful purposes. The Golden Dome is not putting nuclear weapons 582 00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:02.359 in space. That's not what it's doing at all. Actually, 583 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.920 it's putting deterrents that can shoot down nuclear weapons, and 584 00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.119 you're able to shoot them down. Instead of from land 585 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:10.640 going up and hitting a missile, you're able to shoot 586 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:14.960 it down with a satellite. That it's not launching a 587 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.759 nuke at a nuke. It's launching a rocket at a nuke. 588 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:22.200 I don't see how that breaks any kind of treaty, 589 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.160 if anything, that keeps peace. That's just my perspective. This 590 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.559 is yet another American first initiative that puts the US 591 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:34.240 in absolute security above all else. Now continued again, I 592 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.160 think they're arriving at the point it violates the principle 593 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.839 of undiminished security for all and will hurt global strategic 594 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:42.599 balance and stability. She said. 595 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.359 China is gravely concerned. 596 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.240 We urge the US to give up deploying, excuse me, 597 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.640 to give up developing and deploying global anti missile systems 598 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.519 and take concrete actions to enhance strategic trust between major 599 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.680 countries and uphold global strategic stability. I don't see this 600 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.440 as breaking any kind of global treaty in any way, 601 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.960 shape or form. I know, I'm American, so I have 602 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:08.960 a little bit of a bias when it comes to this. 603 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.160 I get that. But how does us making sure that 604 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:16.720 we can defend ourselves against any and all threats hurt 605 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.720 someone else? 606 00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.359 Like intrinsically? That doesn't make sense. 607 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.240 But yep, it sounds like China's kind of kind of 608 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.599 having a little cry baby moment about this. And let's 609 00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:29.680 keep in mind, this is right on the heels of 610 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.160 China announcing that they are creating a nuclear power plant 611 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.079 on the dark side of the moon. Now. I don't 612 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:38.960 know if that's a true thing or not. That's what 613 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.799 they are saying that they are doing currently, So as 614 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.240 far as having anything nuclear in space, just from my 615 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:55.839 own little perspective here, it sounds kind of what's the word. 616 00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.960 Yeah, let's move on. Let's move on anyway. 617 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.279 Trump began calling for a US missile defense shield inspired 618 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.200 by Israel's Iron Dome, which is used to intercept short 619 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.160 range projectiles a year ago on the campaign trail after 620 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:11.559 watching Israel and its Western allies defeat some three hundred 621 00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:15.480 missiles and drones fired during an attack from Iran. The 622 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:18.680 attack was thwarted by a range of anti missile systems 623 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.720 and military aircraft. Military officials said at the time that 624 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.440 they hadn't expressed the need for such comprehensive shields to 625 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.319 defend the US. 626 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.160 Critics of Trump's eye to defend the US. 627 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.079 Critics of Trump's plan noted that the US wasn't under 628 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:34.000 the threat from its neighbors Canada and Mexico, and is 629 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:36.960 buffered by two oceans. I mean, it's very true. We 630 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.400 are in a very prime location as far as making 631 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.880 sure that our borders are secure from threats, but apparently 632 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:48.400 not secure from illegals. But anyway, the Golden Dome project 633 00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:52.960 has echoes of a failed Cold War era Star Wars program. Yeah, 634 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.640 Reagan was all about that. He wanted he wanted to 635 00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:01.039 put lasers on satellites to shoot down enemy aircraft. The 636 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.359 scientists had to tell him, sir, we don't have that technology. 637 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:06.480 Reagan was just not listening to that. 638 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.880 Yeah, if anybody was to look that up operations Star Wars, 639 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:14.639 it's pretty hilarious. Reagan was ranting and raving, saying basically 640 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.880 doctor Evil style, I want freaking laser beams on my 641 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.559 freaking satellites. And the scientists had to straight up come 642 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.960 and tell him, sir, sir, we don't have that. We 643 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:26.360 don't have lasers that can do that. 644 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.679 Oh, yes, we do, I know we do. We deaf 645 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.880 for got layers we could put on them satellites. No, no, 646 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.360 mister President, that's not a science that we act. No 647 00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:36.360 one on earth can do that at this moment. You're 648 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.800 I think you're mixing movies in reality. And he just 649 00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.599 refused to. 650 00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:45.039 Acknowledge that until until they realized how expensive the project 651 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:48.280 was gonna be. And Reaganomics wasn't exactly panning out the 652 00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.159 way he wanted in the time frame that he wanted 653 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:54.840 either way, which likewise sought to introduce defense umbrella against 654 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.360 nuclear capable ballistic missiles. At the time, critics, including leaders 655 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.559 in the Soviet Union, said such a project was both 656 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.559 unworkable and could spark a new arms race. Okay, So 657 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.960 with that being said, just so we're all all on 658 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.519 the same sheet of music here. Okay, As Trump is 659 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:15.719 talking about creating the Iron Dome, it's gonna be a 660 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.119 combination thing. There's gonna be a land element and there's 661 00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:23.639 gonna be a satellite element. Essentially, if any hypothetical nuclear 662 00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:27.039 missile was to come towards America, we could shoot it 663 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:31.199 down either by air or from the I hones sphere 664 00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:34.480 of stratosphere, whatever sphere the satellite's rolling. I'm not an 665 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.079 expert on this, I'm not NASA, right, but they'll be 666 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.079 able to shoot it down from the upside or from 667 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:43.039 the downside, okay, And they're not doing it with nukes. 668 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.480 There's a couple of different methods that I've seen proposed. 669 00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:48.880 Some of it is with lasers, some of it is 670 00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.880 with rockets in their own rights, whatever the case is, 671 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.199 it's not putting a weapon in space. It's putting a 672 00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.760 shield in space, a protection against weapons in space. 673 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.360 China is the only. 674 00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.119 Country that has stepped up and said that this is 675 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.760 not good and they really want us to not do 676 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.360 this again, as they're currently building a nuclear power plant 677 00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.559 their words, not mine, on the dark side of the 678 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.280 Moon and they're saying that we can't have anything nuclear 679 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.039 in space. All I can really think of this time 680 00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.559 is donal trying. Don't trust China China is ass ho. 681 00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.000 I love that Malaysian gentlemen. I love him to death. 682 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.639 Don trym don't trust China. China is ass ho. I 683 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:33.920 think we need to just have that guy be our 684 00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.519 spirit animal inside of all of our hearts. 685 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:40.440 That's just me here. Anyway, as we're. 686 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.719 Talking about uh, silly things, right, military things and Asian things, 687 00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.960 I think it's worth mentioning that North Korea had a 688 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.880 destroyer that they tried to launch, but because they suck 689 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:56.159 it sunk to the bottom of the sea, they tried 690 00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:59.679 doing it like a sideways launch rather than a straightforward launch. 691 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.960 It'll make more sense when I read the article and 692 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.119 I got some satellite imagery. Satellite photos over North Korea 693 00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:10.320 revealed Kim's partially sunken new warship. Let's dive in new 694 00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:13.800 satellite imagery offers a detailed look at the North Korean 695 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:18.000 destroyer damaged in a failed launch that infuriated Kim Jong 696 00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.800 un shocker, who was present during the incident. The five 697 00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:25.119 thousand ton warship appears to be keeled over stuck on 698 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:28.239 a sideway in the yeah. Stuck on a sideway in 699 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:33.320 the northeast city of chung Jin, Chong, jan I don't know, uh, 700 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:37.039 and maybe partially submerged analysis to say why it matters. 701 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.960 The destroyer is the second to be constructed following the 702 00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:44.880 launch of the Cho Yon, which North Korea unveiled with 703 00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:48.840 much acclaim in late April and which has since become 704 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:53.440 a begun weapons systems testing. So this is what this 705 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.280 area looked like before the ship crashed. Right over here 706 00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.400 is where the ship was docked. That's it right here, 707 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.679 This is it now, And in an attempt to try 708 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:05.440 to hide it from satellite, they went out and covered 709 00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:09.519 it with blue tarps. Essentially, if I could use a 710 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.239 visual representation on this one, all right, for everybody who 711 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.159 can't see you know, I'm gonna go ahead and stop 712 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:16.719 sharing the screen for just a moment so I can 713 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:18.960 make this point. Then we'll go back to it. So 714 00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:22.679 let's say that this was the ship. Okay, This the 715 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:26.079 front side, This the backside. There's a couple of different 716 00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:28.199 ways you could launch a ship out of port right. 717 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.840 To commission it. 718 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:33.000 If it's a smaller ship, they'll do it from the sideways. 719 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.119 We've seen videos where they'll they'll straight up, let it 720 00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.360 tip over and slide into the ocean. That way, fine. Cool. 721 00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.320 If it's too long of a ship, typically they'll go 722 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:46.360 straight down a ramp into the water this way. Okay. 723 00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:50.199 This ship apparently was too long to do the sideways method, 724 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.360 but they didn't think about that, so they tried doing 725 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.159 the sideways method. It got hung up, one of the 726 00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.920 skids got caught, one of the sides went down way 727 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.079 too low, one of the sides stayed way too up, 728 00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:02.679 and it sunk. 729 00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.480 It absolutely sunk to the bottom of. 730 00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:09.159 The uh of the bay there, and it took them 731 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.679 like a week to dredge it up enough and pump 732 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.199 enough water out to get it back at least on 733 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.519 the upside of the water. Then they go out and 734 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:19.639 just start covering it with tarps because nothing to see here. 735 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.000 Totally nothing to see here, y'all. This is their second destroyer. 736 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.840 That's it's it's sad, it's embarrassing. Before I go back 737 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:29.719 to read the article, real quick, let me see how 738 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.880 every guy, everybody's doing in the chat, real quick. What's up? 739 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:33.800 What's up? Hey? 740 00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:34.039 Hey? 741 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:34.840 Uh? 742 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:35.840 What a retail? Yeah? 743 00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.320 I agree, Alex, I agree, another one bites the dust? 744 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.000 Agreed? 745 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:40.880 Uh? 746 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.719 Merlin. Merlin is in the chat tonight as well, Thank you. 747 00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.239 For joining. Uh, let's see here, Sterling Williams, Oh, this 748 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.239 is about the the New Orleans case. Thank you for 749 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.199 bringing it up, Raven Lee. Sterling Williams thirty three claimed 750 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:54.719 that he was coerced by an inmate who threatened to 751 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.599 stab him if he didn't disable the water supply to 752 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.679 a toilet, enabling the inmate to remove it and access 753 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.519 a hole in the wall behind it. The breach allowed 754 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.360 them to escape the facility. Yeah, I mean that sounds 755 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.320 about right. In prison, if you don't do something, you 756 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.480 get stabbed. And sure, sure, fair enough. And then Tony says, 757 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:16.519 Mao Ning is actually related to Mao Zedong if I'm 758 00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.760 not mistaken. Now I'm not an expert of the Chinese language, 759 00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.559 but isn't they do last names first, right, So Mao 760 00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:25.559 Zedong and Mao Ning, that's like maw would be the surname, 761 00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:28.639 if I'm not mistaken. And then usually when they come 762 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.639 to America, they anglicize it and they put their last 763 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:33.199 name at the back where we put it. 764 00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.519 I think, yeah, that's true. 765 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.239 Okay, okay, so yeah, that's a at least somehow related 766 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:43.719 to Malozedong, which is wild. But yeah, all right, I'm 767 00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:45.719 gonna go back to sharing the screen at this time, 768 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:51.400 and let's read more about the North Korean ship debacle. Uh. 769 00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.760 The Kim regime has stepped up efforts to modernize its 770 00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:58.639 armed forces, including its United Nations sanctioned nuclear weapons program 771 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:03.039 and ballistic missile fleet, citing provocations by the US and Washington, 772 00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:07.840 South Korean and Japanese allies. Now what to know. During 773 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:11.519 Thursday's launch, the destroyer became stuck after the transport cradle 774 00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:14.199 beneath the stern section slid off, according to the state 775 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:15.119 run Korean. 776 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:15.960 Central News Agency. 777 00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:20.400 Images supplied by Newsweek two Newsweek by the US commercial 778 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:25.000 satellite for firm Planet confirmed the ship was resting in 779 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.920 an awkward position at chung Jin Humbuck Shipyard Thursday. Again, 780 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.880 I'm probably mispronouncing it, but they're North Korean, so whatever 781 00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:37.559 partially covered up by blue tarpullians to mask the damage. 782 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:41.559 So that is it. Now. Korea's latest naval destroyer has 783 00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.800 been significantly damaged prior to its launch. In a rare acknowledgment, 784 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:48.960 North Korea's state news agency reported yesterday an incident occurred 785 00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.000 with a new destroyer which was close to being launched. 786 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:54.320 So yeah, they basically just covered it up with all 787 00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:59.719 of these tarps to just hide it from the public eye, 788 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.159 and that totally didn't highlight it or anything. A high 789 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.840 definition image cat captured by the German based Airbus Defense 790 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:14.239 in Space shows the vessel listing heavily to starboard. Vessel 791 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:18.840 now covered but angle, consistent with reporting Bobow got stuck 792 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:22.320 on sideway slideway. Rather, it is likely the vessel may 793 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:26.079 be on its side or at least partially submerged. Joseph Dipsey, 794 00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:30.039 Research Associate for Defense and Military Analysis at the International 795 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:33.920 Institute of Strategic Studies wrote on x North Korea's admission 796 00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:37.239 of failure is rare but would have likely been undeniable 797 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.800 once the satellite imagery revealed the extent of the serious accident. 798 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:44.400 He added, so, of course Kim Jong is going to 799 00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:47.440 say that this was criminal negligence, and I'm sure everybody's 800 00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:49.400 bloodline that had anything to do with this are going 801 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:50.519 to be in a work camp for the rest of 802 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.559 their lives. But we shall see. In a Friday update 803 00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:58.400 on the preliminary investigation, the North Koreans said the damage 804 00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.880 had been deemed not serious. The ship's hull had not 805 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.079 been pierced as initially reported, and authorities estimated it would 806 00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.639 take two or three days to rebalance the vessel by 807 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.079 pumping out seawater from a flooded chamber. Experts predicted it 808 00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.320 would take ten odd days to fully restore the damaged 809 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:18.559 side of the hull. We shall see, because that was 810 00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:20.800 almost a week ago and that ship is still under 811 00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:27.239 tarps as we speak. The Korean news agency reported YEP 812 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:32.519 respected Comrade Kim Jong un made a stern assessment, saying 813 00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:35.519 that it was a serious accident and a criminal act 814 00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:42.199 caused by sheer carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism, which should 815 00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:50.199 never occur and could not be tolerated. Sure Sure. Uh SADARVKSEA, 816 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:54.880 senior research fellow at London based Royal United Services Institute 817 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:58.800 think Tank, was quoted on x saying the Chokeyun class 818 00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.559 represents North Korea's ambitious naval project to date, and its 819 00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:05.800 construction was a departure from practice for a navy historically 820 00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.320 focused on its literals. 821 00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:12.239 Laterals. I think it's supposed to be something else here. 822 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:13.920 What happens next. 823 00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:16.760 CAM has called for the destroyer to be restored as 824 00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:19.800 soon as possible, setting a deadline for completion ahead of 825 00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.760 the key June meeting of the Workers Party of Korea's 826 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.960 Central Committee. According to the news agency, he stressed that 827 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:28.880 the issue was not only a practical one, but also 828 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:34.239 a political matter tied to state prestige. It's your second destroyer, 829 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:38.760 and the prestige of North Korea is not exactly viewed 830 00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:43.119 by anybody other than North Koreans. But okay. In a 831 00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.639 speech he delivered in late April, the leader announced plans 832 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:49.559 to begin construction of additional warships in twenty twenty six, 833 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:55.639 including a cruiser in various escort vessels. Okay. So yeah, 834 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.840 as you're just working through the Asiatic area, I couldn't. 835 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.880 I could not just talk about this well snafu that 836 00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.760 happened with North Korea. But while we are on the 837 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:13.719 Asian continent, let's talk about the ceasefire agreement that seems 838 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:17.400 to be holding right now between Pakistan and India. Now, Tony, 839 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:19.280 you had said that you didn't think that this was 840 00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:22.079 gonna lead to a World War three or any kind 841 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.760 of major conflict. Very similarly, because Pakistan and India have 842 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.679 done this essentially a few times in the past few decades, 843 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.119 I didn't know exactly how I was gonna go. I 844 00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:34.280 think that this got a little more ramped up than 845 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.159 the other skirmishes in the past have gotten, and I 846 00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.400 was thinking that it had potential to maybe go to 847 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:44.960 run the gambit, if you will. However, according to CNN, 848 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:48.760 here missiles, drones, and airstrikes until a sudden ceasefire. How 849 00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:53.920 Pakistan and India agreed to an uneasy truce New Delhi 850 00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:57.159 and Islama's Bad. India and Pakistan engaged in the most 851 00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:01.119 intense fighting in decades, with four days of escalating conflict 852 00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:05.320 that included fighter jets, missiles, and drones packed with explosives, 853 00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.880 and ended almost as abruptly as it began. 854 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:11.239 New details reveal how a flurry of cell phone calls or. 855 00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:14.199 I said, I should say, just phone calls and diplomacy 856 00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:17.639 ultimately brought about a truce between the nuclear armed neighbors 857 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:21.559 and historic foes. And while the Indian and Pakistani accounts 858 00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.639 differ on some details, both sides agreed the breakthrough started 859 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.360 to come on Saturday afternoon. The ceasefire between Islamabad and 860 00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.920 New Delhi, which according to Pakistani officials, had been the 861 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:36.119 Indie works for several days was agreed to after a 862 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:40.280 quote unquote hotline message was sent from a top Pakistani 863 00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:44.800 military official to his Indian counterpart, India's military said Sunday, 864 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.679 offering new details about how the unexpected deal was struck. 865 00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.559 In a briefing Sunday, India's Director General of Military Operations 866 00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:55.800 said that is as officials were huddling Saturday, quote unquote 867 00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.679 to wargame the early morning strikes from Pakistan, he received 868 00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:03.800 a mess from his counterpart in Pakistan seeking communications. Pakistan's 869 00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.280 military confirmed Sunday that it reached out, but said it 870 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:10.039 contacted intermediaries regarding a ceasefire with India. It did not 871 00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.000 specify which countries, although a Pakistani official involved in the 872 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.599 talks told CNN it was the United States making the 873 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.519 important call Saturday. I mean, I don't find this to 874 00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:24.719 be odd. Honestly, I could see another country taking charge 875 00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.280 of that, though it wouldn't have shocked me to hear 876 00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:34.679 that Britain or Germany or Katar, let's go way off 877 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.119 the beaten path here. Qatar is also currently seen as 878 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.440 like the meeting ground for people of differing backgrounds. It 879 00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.880 wouldn't shock me if the UAE had called and said 880 00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:45.719 Hey man, let's have a little talk about negotiating here. 881 00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:50.719 But lo and behold, Donnie T strikes again and he 882 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:55.639 according to them, not us. Them is the reason why 883 00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.079 the ceasefire has taken place. So let's talk more about 884 00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.760 it here. During the call all hailed at three thirty 885 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:04.719 five pm local time, a ceasefire agreement was reached. According 886 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:09.360 to India's Director General of Military Operations, Lieutenant General Rajeev 887 00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:14.559 guy Gahai. I don't know, I don't speak Hindy. They 888 00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:17.199 said a further call would be hailed to discuss the 889 00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:21.639 modalities that would enable the longevity of the agreement. Pakistan 890 00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:23.840 has not confirmed whether or not the call was hailed, 891 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:26.880 but the official involvement of the diplomatic efforts said Pakistan 892 00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:30.960 have received unspecified assurances from the US that India would 893 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:35.239 abide by the ceasefire. I could see that personally, as 894 00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:38.320 especially as more and more manufacturing and more and more 895 00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:41.400 deals are being struck outside of China and in favor 896 00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:44.880 of India. If the US called and said listen, I 897 00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:48.440 got them, I will make sure that they keep the ceasefire. 898 00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:50.480 If you can make sure you keep up your end 899 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:53.960 of it and like it seems like it worked. So far, 900 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.400 so good, Aniwen. The latest details of the agreement was 901 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.480 reached with the first announced by the US President Trump 902 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.039 give the clearest picture yet of how Islamabad and New 903 00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.079 Delhi directly communicated to agree to an end of the 904 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:12.280 spiraling conflict amid growing international pressure on the truth social 905 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.679 on his truth Social app, Trump said Saturday the US 906 00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:19.000 had brokened and into the fighting and congratulated the leaders 907 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.400 of both countries for using common sense and great intelligence. 908 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:26.440 While Islamabad praised the US involvement, New Delhi has downplayd 909 00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.199 keen to portray the ceasefire as a victory and saying 910 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.880 that the neighbors had worked together directly on the truce. 911 00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:35.559 India's Director General of Military Operations Gehai I'm guessing I'm 912 00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:39.079 saying that right, said. India approached Islamabad on Wednesday, following 913 00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:42.840 its initial strikes to communicate our compulsions to strike at 914 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.679 the heart of terror. India made a request which was 915 00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:53.000 not specified that was brusquely turned down bruskally. I don't 916 00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:54.440 know what that word's supposed to mean, or if that 917 00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.159 was the type of turned down with an intimidation that 918 00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.840 a severe response was inevitable and the uh and in 919 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:05.519 the offing again, I feel like that's a typo or 920 00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:08.480 maybe there's like a weird translatory. 921 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:13.599 They got this British English thing going. But you know 922 00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:19.719 those are actual expressions, believe it or not. Brusquely, yeah, 923 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:23.880 bruskly means you know, kind of rudely or curtly. And 924 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:26.440 in the offing I didn't know this untill a few 925 00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.679 years ago. It just means in the near future. 926 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:30.440 Huh. 927 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:34.239 Yeah, this is like British Shakespearean English that Americans just 928 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:35.280 didn't get. 929 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:38.239 And that would make sense because India was a part 930 00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:41.320 of the British Empire for so long. Okay, I get 931 00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:44.239 it now, all right, So this is just British is 932 00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:47.159 British English, the King's English, as they would say. Okay, 933 00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:47.679 fair enough. 934 00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:48.360 Uh. 935 00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:51.280 The Indians requested a ceasefire after the eighth and ninth 936 00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:54.199 of May, after they started their operation. We told them 937 00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:57.719 that we will communicate back after our retribution, Pakistan Lieutenant 938 00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:03.320 General Ahmad Sharif Chawdry said during a news conference on Sunday. Huh, 939 00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:05.880 I didn't know Chawdrey was a Pakistani name. I served 940 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.039 with the Chawdry due was an absolute beast. He was 941 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:11.320 one of the body bears. I think he weighed like 942 00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.440 two seventy five of solid muscle. Like the dude was 943 00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:17.519 an absolute fire truck with the blues blouse on. It 944 00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:22.320 was insane. After Pakistan's military operation, we reached the international 945 00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:27.639 more of this language interlucturs that we responded to the 946 00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:31.480 ceasefire request. Speaking on Wednesday, after India's initial strikes, the 947 00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:34.800 Pakistani official involved in diplomacy efforts said Pakistan was engaged 948 00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.519 with the US and that he hoped those conversations would 949 00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:38.880 bring positive results. 950 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:42.280 Well, I would think that they as of this. 951 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.960 Very moment, have Again, we will see if this keeps 952 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.280 up here. It says just before eight am Easter your 953 00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:51.920 time on Saturday, about five pm in India and Pakistan, 954 00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.119 Trump announced the ceasefire on truth social writing, after a 955 00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:57.719 long night of talks mediated by the United States, I 956 00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.599 am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed 957 00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:04.840 to a full and immediate ceasefire. Shortly after Trump's post, 958 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:07.880 both sides confirmed the truths. India's Foreign ministry said the 959 00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.800 agreement was worked out directly between the two countries, downplaying 960 00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:14.840 the US involvement, of course, but Pakistani officials heaped praise 961 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:18.159 on Washington. This is a direct quote. We thank President 962 00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:21.199 Trump for his leadership and proactive role for peace in 963 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:24.760 the region. Okay, that's from the Prime minister. A Pakistani 964 00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:28.119 source familiar with the negotiations told CNN that the US 965 00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:31.760 and Rubio in particular, was instrumental in striking the deal, 966 00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:34.000 painting a picture of talks that were in doubt, with 967 00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:37.320 trust and at a low ebb and missiles attacks from 968 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.239 India only abating in a final few hours before the 969 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:43.639 truce was confirmed. It's not surprising these bitter rivals give 970 00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:46.920 contradictory accounts of how the deal was struck. India, which 971 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.960 views itself as a regional superpower, has long been resistant 972 00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:55.280 of international mediation, whereas Pakistan, which is heavily dependent on 973 00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:57.400 foreign aid, tends to welcome it. 974 00:52:57.480 --> 00:52:59.760 Analysis say, yeah, that's very true too. 975 00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:04.000 It's not like Pakistan is like in the best of 976 00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:06.320 graces with US or vice versa. It's not like we're 977 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:10.199 exactly tight as hell. They're very tight with China in 978 00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:13.719 a economic resolve. I think they're okay with a lot 979 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:16.679 of people, but they absolutely rely on foreign aid to 980 00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:21.679 you know, survive India does not. India does not, So 981 00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:24.880 it makes sense that India, being very proud people would 982 00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:27.199 say that it was by their own works and by 983 00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:30.440 their own abilities. 984 00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:33.400 To deal that this ceasefire was created. 985 00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:36.039 Pakistan, on the other hand, is like, man, thank you 986 00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:38.840 Trump and Rubio. We couldn't have done it without you, 987 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.360 So hey, nobody. I don't know who's trying to take 988 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:44.639 credit for it. I can guarantee that Trump is gonna 989 00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:47.400 use this as yet another feather in his cap either 990 00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:52.079 way it goes. Pakistan and India are currently at peace. Now, 991 00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:56.000 will this last? Will it happen again in another five years? 992 00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:58.599 Whatever's gonna I mean, who's to say. Who's to say? 993 00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:01.880 But at this moment, I think it's a good little 994 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.559 way to put a bow on that now, as we 995 00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:08.039 are still talking about that side of the world here, 996 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.760 I think it's worth mentioning that there is a siege 997 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:18.039 that is currently mounting up and underway in mogad Shue. Yeah, 998 00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.840 get ready, y'all, if America gets involved, we might have 999 00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:22.840 a black hog down two point zero in our hands. 1000 00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:29.480 Uh Shabab's deadliest offensive in months pushes towards Mogadishue, Mogadishu 1001 00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:33.280 itself is speaking on this Shabab militants. I'm probably mispronouncing 1002 00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:37.039 Shabab shabba Ab. I don't know. I don't speak Islam. 1003 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.159 Militants have launched their most aggressive offensive in months, storing 1004 00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:44.559 multiple towns across central Somalia and exposing weaknesses in the 1005 00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:49.559 government's counterinsurgency strategy. The al Qaeda affiliate group briefly seized 1006 00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:55.760 key locations, including Balkad, just thirty kilometers from Mogadishue, before 1007 00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:00.320 federal forces counteracted it or I'm sorry counterattacks. The The tax, 1008 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.400 which began on Friday or excuse me February twentieth, targeted 1009 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.880 federal troops and clan militias in the middle of Chabelle 1010 00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:12.119 and Hran regions, stretching government resources. Then Shabbab claims responsibility 1011 00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:15.280 for at least nine assaults across multiple towns, asserting it 1012 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:18.800 had killed dozens of pro government fighters and temporarily occupied 1013 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:20.039 strategic locations. 1014 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.840 The offensive began with a coordinated. 1015 00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:29.079 Assault on El Alai l Ali Ahmed Ali fool deer. Yeah, 1016 00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:33.360 I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I 1017 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:37.280 also do not speak the language, so I'm going to 1018 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:41.039 butcher these names. It's gonna sound like I'm doing it 1019 00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:44.239 on purpose and being unronic. I'm not trying to be cheeky. 1020 00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.880 I just don't understand how you can have that many 1021 00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:49.599 vowels next to each other, or that many consonants next 1022 00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.039 to each other and make sounds with it. I only 1023 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:56.760 speak the American English. I apologize fooled here. I'll cole 1024 00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:02.960 Sar and all Rannums Yep town spanning southern Haran and 1025 00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:06.400 northern Middle Shabelle. The Somali government initially stated that its 1026 00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:11.639 forces and ma Al Waalse clan militias repelled the attackers, 1027 00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:14.239 killing more than one hundred and thirty militants. The US 1028 00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:18.639 Africa Command or Afrikaans as commonly known, also conducted air 1029 00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:22.960 strikes targeting Shabab positions. It makes sense that they would 1030 00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:25.440 do that, seeing as how they're in al Qaeda affiliate. 1031 00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:27.719 You know, we're down with that, or we're down with 1032 00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:30.159 bombing the hell out of that, I should say. However, 1033 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:33.639 Shabam countered these claims with photographic evidence of its fighters 1034 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:38.360 inside Al Casar and Dora on Amica. While government forces 1035 00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:42.280 reasserted control over some areas, the militant group's ability to 1036 00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:47.280 penetrate defensive positions raised concerns about the effectiveness of security measures. 1037 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:50.679 On February twenty first, heavy clashes erupted at Al baraf 1038 00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:54.159 and in the middle of the Shabab region. So as 1039 00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:56.760 we're seeing, it's a timeline here, right, we're getting February, 1040 00:56:56.800 --> 00:57:01.400 we got March right here. US airstrikes have been effective 1041 00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:06.039 in disrupting Shabab's advances, but ground forces remain overstretched. Without 1042 00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:09.039 reinforcements and a renewed offense of the Somali government could 1043 00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:12.679 lose more ground in the coming months. Now, this is 1044 00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:15.039 not the article that I had pulled up earlier. I'm 1045 00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:17.360 not gonna lie to you. This is March fourth. From 1046 00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:20.559 what I just saw, the town of Mogadishu is currently 1047 00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:21.440 under siege. 1048 00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:23.159 As in, they. 1049 00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:26.639 Pulled up about two days ago and tried to let 1050 00:57:26.639 --> 00:57:28.920 the people know that they need to leave. Now most 1051 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.239 people can't because they have nowhere to go. So the 1052 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:35.280 town is currently under siege by this Shabba Abs forces. 1053 00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.360 It's not a pretty site for the locals, and I 1054 00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:43.639 hope that America gets involved with this. But again, can 1055 00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:46.519 America be the world police or can we not? Every 1056 00:57:46.559 --> 00:57:49.480 time we do world police things. People beg for it, 1057 00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:51.719 and then as soon as we get boots on the ground, 1058 00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.800 they ask us why do we always have to be 1059 00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:55.519 the world police? And we get shit on. 1060 00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.840 So I don't exactly know what people want from us 1061 00:57:58.880 --> 00:57:59.440 at this time. 1062 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.840 I know that Trump hasn't taken a necessarily isolationist approach 1063 00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:07.480 as far as the military is concerned. I know that 1064 00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:10.480 he is way more in the regards of wanting to 1065 00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:15.360 keep everybody at home rather than deploying two theaters of 1066 00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.559 war and combat that have nothing to do with us. 1067 00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:20.679 So I don't know what to expect. I would hope 1068 00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.159 that you in peace forces could maybe send out some 1069 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:26.920 aid in this regard, as they tried to do with 1070 00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:30.199 Somalia when we had to send our own troops in 1071 00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:35.480 there but UN already had a fighting force in the area. 1072 00:58:35.559 --> 00:58:38.440 I would hope that the UN could step up and 1073 00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:39.880 handle their own business on this one. 1074 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:40.880 That would be ideal. 1075 00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:45.480 Anyway, before I get to the next article, let me 1076 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:47.519 come check out the chat to see if anybody has 1077 00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:48.599 shared anything else. 1078 00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:51.079 That is so, I was looking more into the whole 1079 00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:54.880 nuclear reactor thing on the Moon tank. Yeah, and apparently 1080 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:56.719 what they're going to try to use for fuel is 1081 00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.000 these crystals called helium three. 1082 00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.960 Yeah, age three, which is the And I know that 1083 00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:05.559 there's people that claim that humans have never been to 1084 00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:11.039 the Moon. However, they have brought back a chemical that 1085 00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:16.719 we allegedly can't reproduce on Earth, and that's what they're 1086 00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:18.239 going to try to use the fuel source for the 1087 00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:22.119 nuclear reactors on the Moon because the Moon is loaded 1088 00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:25.360 with age three. Yeah. 1089 00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:27.119 I thought that was super fascinating. 1090 00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:32.960 I was like, what, so helium is an amazing fuel 1091 00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.519 source in a regard helium three is a even more 1092 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:41.559 stable and I don't know all of the chemical compounds, 1093 00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:44.800 so like the yield of it being burned as a 1094 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:48.360 fuel source or whatever else. But from the very limited 1095 00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:52.199 research I've done on it, because it's been years, essentially 1096 00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:58.159 it could be used to power anything that would require combustion. 1097 00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:01.559 Now I don't know how you're gonna get combustion where 1098 01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:06.199 there's no oxygen present. I don't know this, or if 1099 01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:09.760 there's a way to use H three without combustion, maybe 1100 01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.840 friction would make it happen, or I have no idea. 1101 01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:17.000 I have no idea what China's plans are for this, 1102 01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:22.039 but by their own admission not a conspiracy theory. There's 1103 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:24.039 a bunch of people out there saying it's all fake 1104 01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:26.519 because the Moon is fake and space is fake. I'm 1105 01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:29.440 not one of those people. China landed that rover on 1106 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:31.719 the Moon, they have been mapping the dark side of 1107 01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.159 it for a little while now, and their plan for 1108 01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:38.239 the nuclear reactor on the other side of the moon, 1109 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:39.760 it doesn't make sense to me. 1110 01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:43.559 What's to gain? What are you trying to do with that? 1111 01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:44.079 Right? 1112 01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:46.639 If they're trying to use that as like a. 1113 01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:52.199 Launch pad to go and explore deep Earth space, I 1114 01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:54.280 guess I could imagine a world where that makes sense. 1115 01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:57.320 But why would you need a nuclear reactor for that? 1116 01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:00.840 If you have helium three, which could be its own 1117 01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:03.119 fuel source to power your rockets once you got to 1118 01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:06.960 the moon. And if I'm not mistake and they're using 1119 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:11.119 the nuclear plant to power the refining facility for the 1120 01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:14.840 H three or a myle base here, what have you 1121 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:15.679 found on imrowin? 1122 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:19.239 I think you're on track with that one. I think 1123 01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.719 they're trying to power a research lab. That's what I 1124 01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:24.960 read though. Yuh, They're going to put a research facility 1125 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:28.159 on the Moon and use the nuclear reactor to power that. 1126 01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:31.599 They also got to be wondering if they're going to 1127 01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:37.559 try to farm some new materials, because sharing how you 1128 01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:40.559 can only get H three on the Moon. What other 1129 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:42.920 materials could you make that you can only make in 1130 01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:44.000 the vacuum of space. 1131 01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:48.400 I'm with you. I mean, I guess sky's the limit 1132 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.280 or the extent of space is the limit? Pardon me, 1133 01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:56.800 I don't know. And that's there is so much controversy 1134 01:01:56.920 --> 01:02:01.480 surrounding the lunar missions, and not just the one from 1135 01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:05.519 sixty nine or the ones that burst into flames in 1136 01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:08.679 our atmosphere and these things. Like I fine, I am 1137 01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:11.679 somebody who is of the belief that humans have made 1138 01:02:11.719 --> 01:02:15.079 it to the Moon. Now, maybe not that first go round. 1139 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:20.000 I think the whole, you know, Armstrong and Aldrin situation 1140 01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:23.000 was to try to bankrupt the Soviet Union. That's just 1141 01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:26.039 me though, Okay, But since then I believe we have 1142 01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:32.199 made it there. I don't know how H three has 1143 01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:37.000 allegedly naturally formed on the Moon in a vacuum of space. 1144 01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:42.000 Don't know how hydrogen was able to crystallize. How did 1145 01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:44.559 hydrogen get to the Moon in the first place in 1146 01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:47.719 order to solidify in order to bond to other hydrogens 1147 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:51.440 to make a entirely new not new element, but I 1148 01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:57.199 guess you could say a new compound that. I don't 1149 01:02:57.239 --> 01:02:59.639 know if it's impossible to create on Earth, but I'm 1150 01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:03.760 saying it wouldn't be. It's difficult to recreate on Earth 1151 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:07.440 if I'm not mistaken, like I'm sure with CERN and 1152 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:10.519 with other types of labs, you can, you know, basically 1153 01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:16.400 rewrite the structure of an atom, but it's not sustainable here. 1154 01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:19.920 I have no idea. But if that's true, and if 1155 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:21.840 there is an abundance of H three on the Moon, 1156 01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:24.159 if they are able to refine it to be some 1157 01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:27.199 sort of a fuel source, again, I don't know how 1158 01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:29.639 you're burning it or how you're fueling something with it. 1159 01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:34.199 And I don't know how nuclear fusion slash fission And 1160 01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:36.079 I'm only saying slash Tony helped me out on this. 1161 01:03:36.119 --> 01:03:38.119 I'm not sure which one is used in nuclear power. 1162 01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:40.760 If it's fusion or fission or sometimes both, I don't know. 1163 01:03:41.920 --> 01:03:44.920 But I don't understand how you're able to do that 1164 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:49.559 in space in the first place. Powering a lab would 1165 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:53.320 be dope and they could use that to like you said, Merlin, 1166 01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:57.559 bring up more research into other elements that are found there, 1167 01:03:58.159 --> 01:04:00.519 because all we've been told over the longest time is 1168 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:04.599 that the Moon is a barren wasteland of dust. And 1169 01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:08.639 if that's not exactly true, what else isn't exactly true? 1170 01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:11.639 And if they're able to refine the H three to 1171 01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:16.519 a fuel source and somehow achieve to use them or 1172 01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:20.440 get the ability to use the Moon as a launching platform, 1173 01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:23.920 is it possible that China is trying to beat elon 1174 01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:29.880 Musk to Mars. I see that is a potential conversation 1175 01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:31.800 as well. I don't know what to make of it. Man, 1176 01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:36.159 China space program has been laughable up until the past 1177 01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:38.800 few years. And I'm not even saying it's like top 1178 01:04:38.840 --> 01:04:41.800 notch Barty means but or it's not like equal to 1179 01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:46.360 NASA at this moment. But how far off are they 1180 01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:52.079 from being equal to I don't know? All right, So anyway, 1181 01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:57.239 let us continue with these studies here. So we're gonna 1182 01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:00.880 shift our attention over to the nation of Georgia. There 1183 01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:02.760 is a law that they have been trying to pass 1184 01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:07.159 for a good little while here, and apparently they are 1185 01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:12.480 about to enact it. The public is pissed, so pissed, 1186 01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:15.199 in fact, that there is rioting in the streets, and 1187 01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:17.880 I'm not saying they're like tearing the country apart or 1188 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:20.639 anything like this, but I find it interesting that the 1189 01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:23.760 public would be so concerned about this and of itself. 1190 01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:29.880 So the foreign agent laws in Georgia, let's talk about it. 1191 01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:35.840 In a recent contribution, this person argued for activating interim 1192 01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.840 measures under Rule thirty nine of the European Court of 1193 01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:44.159 Human Rights in cases of political persecution or prosecution rather 1194 01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:48.360 such as that of Istanbul's mayor. This argument gains renewed 1195 01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:52.039 urgency in light of Georgia's proposed foreign agent law. Indeed, 1196 01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:55.920 as civil society organizations face the threat of criminal sanctions 1197 01:05:56.039 --> 01:05:58.960 under the Foreign Agent's Law two point zero, a near 1198 01:05:59.039 --> 01:06:02.440 copy and paste of the US Foreign Agents Registration Act 1199 01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:06.760 FARA Rule thirty nine, could become their last remaining remedy. 1200 01:06:07.480 --> 01:06:10.079 So let's talk about it here. The saga of Georgia's 1201 01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.239 foreign agent laws began in twenty twenty three when Georgian 1202 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:20.519 dream introduced legislation forming CSOs receiving over twenty percent of 1203 01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:24.239 foreign funding to register as foreign agents or face fines. 1204 01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:28.880 The bill sparked mass protests, was hastily repealed and then 1205 01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:33.320 brought back amid public outrage following the rigged parliamentary elections 1206 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.039 in October of twenty twenty four, which both the EU 1207 01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:39.800 and the Council of Europe deemed neither the legitimate nor fair. 1208 01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:44.119 The public protests and political crisis erupted once more. Five 1209 01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:48.320 months on, Georgian Dream passed a second, far inspired version 1210 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:52.119 of the law, still without having enacted or repealed the original. 1211 01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:55.880 It is set to come out come into force May 1212 01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:58.519 thirty first, so in a day or two as of 1213 01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:02.760 time of recording. Under the new law, directors of NGO's 1214 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:08.159 non government offices and media outlets risk criminal prosecution if 1215 01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:10.760 the state claims they acted on behalf of a foreign 1216 01:07:10.760 --> 01:07:14.960 principle and deliberately failed to register. Considering public statements by 1217 01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:18.079 the Prime Minister of Georgia, it is hardly speculative to 1218 01:07:18.239 --> 01:07:22.840 expect selective enforcement of the law against the most outspoken CSOs. 1219 01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.079 And if the two foreign agent laws were not enough, 1220 01:07:26.199 --> 01:07:29.519 recent amendments to the law on grants now also require 1221 01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:33.519 donor organizations to obtain prior approval from the gd government 1222 01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:42.599 than Georgian Georgian Democratic Government SURE or a designated agency 1223 01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:47.119 before issuing any funding. Unlike the first foreign agent law, 1224 01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:50.920 which dominated political discourse in twenty twenty three, current attacks 1225 01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:54.559 on CSOs are unfolding more quietly and against the backdrop 1226 01:07:54.639 --> 01:07:57.920 of a broader, faster, and more systematic dismantling of the 1227 01:07:58.000 --> 01:07:59.519 rule of law and human rights. 1228 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:01.960 In the face of this escalation, the tools. 1229 01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:07.400 Already embedded in the Acronym's jurisprudence offer a way forward. 1230 01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:11.199 Rule thirty nine can and must be reactivated to protect 1231 01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:20.720 CSOs from a consolidating autocratic autocratization. Yeah the ect HR's 1232 01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:25.359 sobering experience with foreign agent laws, so the engagement with 1233 01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:28.840 Russian foreign agent laws has been a sobering experience the 1234 01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:34.399 eco defense. In Eco Defense, the Court issued its judgment 1235 01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:38.039 eight years after the initial application was filed without separately 1236 01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:42.119 addressing the Article eighteen claim of rights abused by the States. 1237 01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:45.279 The result fell far short of a timely or adequate 1238 01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:49.199 response to Russia's systemic efforts to dismantle civil society. The 1239 01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:54.000 Court's failure to engage Art Article eighteen was particularly striking 1240 01:08:54.399 --> 01:08:58.960 given that its proportionally proportionality excuse me analysis had already 1241 01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:02.720 hinted at the court findings of a bad faith, As 1242 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.159 it noted, the government has not been able to show 1243 01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:10.680 that those measures furthered the declared goal of increasing transparency. 1244 01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:14.760 It would take another two years for the ECTCHR to 1245 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:19.560 explicitly acknowledge the extent to which foreign agents designation had 1246 01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:24.640 been misconceived, misleading, or misused by Russian authorities. In a 1247 01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:28.479 pretty sharp language, excuse me in pretty sharp language, the 1248 01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:32.119 group stated that the labeling requirements were unrelated to the 1249 01:09:32.239 --> 01:09:36.520 stated to the stated purpose of transparency and created instead 1250 01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:40.760 an environment of forced self stigmatization bearing the hallmarks of 1251 01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:44.800 a totalitarian regime. In twenty twenty five, the decision in 1252 01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:50.439 Novaya Gazetta concerning the crackdown on dissent following Russia's invasion 1253 01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:56.000 of Ukraine offering concurring Judge Pavli to an opportunity to 1254 01:09:56.039 --> 01:09:58.479 reflect on these missed opportunities. 1255 01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:01.119 There is a direct quote here paragraph fifteen. 1256 01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:04.800 With the benefit of some hindsight and a large body 1257 01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:07.279 of case law behind us, can it be said that 1258 01:10:07.319 --> 01:10:10.439 the court sounded the alarm loudly enough and early enough, 1259 01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:13.920 and more importantly for the future, is it now prepared 1260 01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:14.439 to do so? 1261 01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.319 In relation to other European. 1262 01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:22.840 Political systems whose democratic protections might be eroded in ascertainable ways, 1263 01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:27.600 as Syrian previously argued on this blog, if Judge Pavley's 1264 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:30.960 questions resonate with other members of the Court, there is 1265 01:10:31.119 --> 01:10:36.319 indeed amperle doctrinal doctrinal basis for sounding the alarm both 1266 01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:40.319 loudly and early when democratic safeguards are visibly eroding. That 1267 01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:45.119 ground lies on the Court's own Rule thirty nine. So essentially, 1268 01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:48.119 here's what this is talking about here. Russia has been 1269 01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:53.680 having some weird turmoils with Georgia for a while now, 1270 01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:57.199 and most people in America don't understand what this is. 1271 01:10:57.399 --> 01:10:59.680 And I'm not saying that Russia is about to invade Georgia. 1272 01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:02.600 There were those that believed that that was about to 1273 01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:06.760 happen whenever the Ukrainian situation really kicked off. There were 1274 01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:08.800 some people that said that they were going to also 1275 01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:13.800 move into Estonia. There were some that said that they 1276 01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:17.920 were going to move into Latvia. I don't, as of 1277 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:20.840 this moment, believe that Russian troops are about to also 1278 01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:27.199 invade Georgia. That being said, there are political actors that 1279 01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:32.119 are used or using the Georgian media to portray very 1280 01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:37.319 very pro Russian sentiments, and the people of Georgia apparently 1281 01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:38.039 do not like this. 1282 01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:40.239 And it's not just on the media. 1283 01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:45.479 There is Russian state actors who are lobbying in Georgian politics. 1284 01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.239 From what I can tell, it's the same way that 1285 01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:54.439 America has apex right the Israeli Lobbying Committee, and that's 1286 01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:57.680 the only lobbying committee allowed to be a foreign lobbying 1287 01:11:57.720 --> 01:12:00.920 committee in the entirety of the United States. No other 1288 01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:05.119 country has guys throwing money towards our politicians on behalf 1289 01:12:05.159 --> 01:12:07.800 of foreign nations, or at least not overtly and openly. 1290 01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:12.159 The Georgian people are pissed off that this is still 1291 01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.399 going down in their country and nothing is being done 1292 01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:18.000 about it or to stop it in any way, shape 1293 01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:21.279 or form. So the slow shift towards an effective Rule 1294 01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:27.000 thirty nine. Indeed, the ECTCHR record includes more than missed 1295 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:31.119 opportunities in recent Rule thirty nine landmarks exhibiting a gradual 1296 01:12:31.159 --> 01:12:35.600 shift towards greater flexibility serve as testimony to that interim 1297 01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:42.079 measures are no longer confined to non refoument refoulment excuse me, 1298 01:12:42.560 --> 01:12:47.000 non refoulment cases involving mere individualized and foreseeable threats such 1299 01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:49.800 as the risk of torture or the reuse of evidence 1300 01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:53.720 obtained by torture following removal of a foreign country see 1301 01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:58.600 Abu katata Okay. Instead, they are now increasingly applied in 1302 01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:01.920 response to threats to democracy and the rule of law, 1303 01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:06.039 even where the precise forms such as threats may take 1304 01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:09.920 or are not yet fully known, these shifts may be. 1305 01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:14.960 This shift has been most evident in cases involving, for example, 1306 01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:18.479 the ownership of a media company in Georgia twenty seventeen, 1307 01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:22.119 the protection of a journalist's sources in Ukraine twenty eighteen, 1308 01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:26.279 the right of a human right to exist, of a 1309 01:13:26.359 --> 01:13:30.560 human rights in goo And in twenty twenty one, and 1310 01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:33.479 of a news outlet in Russia in twenty twenty two, 1311 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:37.119 units of measures against judges in Poland in twenty twenty 1312 01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:40.960 two and twenty twenty three, and demonstration dispersal techniques in 1313 01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:43.760 Serbia in twenty twenty five. Yeah, we all know what's 1314 01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:46.920 going on in Serbia right now. Those protests they calm 1315 01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:50.680 down eventually, but not after the government used direct energy 1316 01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.159 weapons on the crowds to attain control and all those 1317 01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:57.399 videos that came out that's now been confirmed that that 1318 01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.880 was absolutely directed energy weapons that were being shot at 1319 01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:01.399 the crowd. 1320 01:14:01.680 --> 01:14:03.560 Nobody died, if I'm not mistaken. 1321 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:06.720 One guy might have suffered a heart attack, but it's 1322 01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:09.159 questionable if that was because of the direct energy attack 1323 01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:11.720 or if that was because of just being startled because 1324 01:14:11.720 --> 01:14:15.239 of the crowd. Who knows. The wording of the interim 1325 01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:18.560 measures has also become more open minded or open ended. 1326 01:14:18.840 --> 01:14:22.640 The Court now increasingly issues orders suspending domestic decisions or 1327 01:14:22.680 --> 01:14:26.640 proceedings or instructing states to refrain from actions likely to 1328 01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:30.000 produce certain harmful effects. For example, in an interim measure 1329 01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:32.439 issued in twenty twenty two in the case of no 1330 01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:38.640 Vaya Gazetta, the Court instructed Russia to obtain abstain until 1331 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:42.079 further notice from actions and decisions aimed at full blocking 1332 01:14:42.199 --> 01:14:47.920 and determination of the activities of Novaya Gazetta and from 1333 01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:51.159 other actions that, in the current circumstances, could deprived Voia 1334 01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:54.920 Gazetta of the enjoyment of its rights guaranteed by Article 1335 01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:58.319 ten of the Convention. In an interim measure issued in 1336 01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:01.960 twenty twenty five in the case of Durravic or Durravich, 1337 01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:04.359 I don't know what that little sign on top of 1338 01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:07.039 the c makes or with that line through the D makes, 1339 01:15:07.159 --> 01:15:09.800 I might be mispronouncing that whole word. That's fine, I've 1340 01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:12.359 been stammering through this whole article. At this point, the 1341 01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:17.039 Court referred to potentially serious health effects and instructed Serbia 1342 01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:20.840 that any use of sound devices for crowd control must 1343 01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:25.680 be prevented in the future. You know, I do love 1344 01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:28.439 how they really tried to say that that's not what happened, 1345 01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:31.800 and then so many other sources came forward that they 1346 01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:34.840 had to acknowledge that that's exactly what happened. But I digress. 1347 01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.720 Without even prejudging whether such a crowd control mechanism was 1348 01:15:39.800 --> 01:15:43.600 actually being used it was, though we know that it 1349 01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:46.600 was the shift toward a broader application of Rule thirty nine. 1350 01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:50.520 A company, by more flexible instructions to state in individual cases, 1351 01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:54.399 offers a measure of hope. But if the ECCHR is 1352 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:57.760 to offer practical and effective protection, the Court must accelerate 1353 01:15:57.800 --> 01:16:01.800 this shift so as not to allow consolidation or consolidating 1354 01:16:01.840 --> 01:16:05.520 atrocities to slip through the cracks of supernatural oversight. The 1355 01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:09.119 tools for this are already in place within its existing doctrine. 1356 01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:12.079 The Court has had at least four avenues it could 1357 01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:16.279 draw on to reaactivate Rule thirty nine more forcibly in 1358 01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:21.359 context like Georgia, the administrative practice exception, the potential victim standard, 1359 01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:25.359 the chilling effect standard, and lastly the bad faith standard 1360 01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:29.560 under Article eighteen. All right, so unless you know a 1361 01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:32.359 lot about the way that Georgia does their politics, a 1362 01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:34.039 lot of this is going to kind of fall short 1363 01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:39.640 on everybody. I get this. But Georgia's pissed off because 1364 01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:44.279 they still have foreign actors that are making their presence 1365 01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:47.079 not just known, but kind of boguarding their will through 1366 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:47.760 their country. 1367 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:51.159 They're not happy about it. I get it rightfully. 1368 01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:54.880 So, as Anthony said in the chat, so humans doing 1369 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.039 human shit, Yeah, as it be happening, bro, People be 1370 01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:03.840 peopling one thousand percent. People be people. In so while 1371 01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:06.000 we've kind of gone over a couple of these articles, 1372 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:09.439 we've covered some things in the continental US, we covered 1373 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:14.279 some things in Asia, we covered Mogadishu, We've talked about Georgia. 1374 01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:16.840 If anybody has anything that they would like to discuss 1375 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:19.039 as far as the news articles, or if y'all have 1376 01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:21.279 anything that y'all would like to discuss on y'all's in 1377 01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:22.399 that y'all find interesting. 1378 01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:24.920 Go ahead and let us hear about it. Yeah, to 1379 01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:25.680 only go for it, man. 1380 01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:29.159 Yeah, there's a few more things I can think of. 1381 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:35.039 This is maybe not international newsworthy, but have you seen 1382 01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:36.960 what Candice Owens has been up to. 1383 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:40.239 The last thing I heard from her was that she 1384 01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:46.560 was saying that Macrone is married to his his long 1385 01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:50.479 lost uncle, and I love father It's father. 1386 01:17:50.359 --> 01:17:54.960 Or article, Yeah, probably his father, because I love it. 1387 01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:58.600 Brigitque kind of appears out of nowhere in the eighties 1388 01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:02.520 right when her supposed brother, I guess that would make 1389 01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:08.119 him an uncle, but Jean Michelle troug No went out 1390 01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:11.239 of existence. There's that, But I was actually thinking of 1391 01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:16.520 something else. She's trying to defend Harvey Weinstein, which is 1392 01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:20.720 pretty hard to believe. But kind of the political triangulation here. 1393 01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:23.000 She's been called such an anti Semite, I think she's 1394 01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:28.760 just trying to find something to do to try to 1395 01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:33.199 make that accusation go away. So what do you think 1396 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:34.479 about Weinstein in general? 1397 01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.960 Though I am not a fan of him as a person, 1398 01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:40.119 I think he's an absolute piece of shit, right, And 1399 01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:43.800 I get that the point that she is making is 1400 01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:46.920 that he is wrongfully imprisoned. And I'm not saying that 1401 01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:50.000 I agree or disagree with her, but let's go over 1402 01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:55.399 the facts. He didn't, according to the testimonies, and even 1403 01:18:55.399 --> 01:18:57.680 the women that came to court and talked about this, 1404 01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:01.159 they knew what they were going to that hotel room 1405 01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:03.800 to do. They fully understood that they were going to 1406 01:19:03.880 --> 01:19:09.520 benefit from explicit actions with him. Now, if we're going 1407 01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:12.880 to say that that was him misusing his power and 1408 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:16.399 taking advantage in all of that, yes with you one 1409 01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:20.760 thousand percent. But he didn't actually assault any of the 1410 01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:24.199 women in question. They knew exactly what was happening and 1411 01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:31.199 what would be the result thereof that being said. And 1412 01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:33.760 again I don't know what her latest standpoint is on 1413 01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:37.079 it right now, but from what I heard, she's basically saying, like, no, 1414 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:40.800 he's a trash human being, and like we you know, fine, 1415 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:43.279 but I don't believe he should be in jail for this. 1416 01:19:43.960 --> 01:19:50.760 It's the same as some CEO promising a promotion if 1417 01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:54.520 in exchange for a sexual favor. I disagree with that. 1418 01:19:54.680 --> 01:19:56.479 I don't think that you should be doing that at all. 1419 01:19:56.520 --> 01:20:03.079 That's immoral and it's wrong. Is that illegal? And I'm 1420 01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:05.640 asking that genuinely. I don't know the laws to that level. 1421 01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:06.399 Is that illegal? 1422 01:20:07.840 --> 01:20:12.319 Well maybe it's not as illegal as rape for sure. Yeah, 1423 01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:16.680 that's it's a it's a major downngrade And yeah, I 1424 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:21.840 think like John Zigler and Ryan Dawson have this this 1425 01:20:21.920 --> 01:20:25.680 take on Hollywood. It's a cesspool of immorality and quid 1426 01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:29.119 pro quoes. And if the man is like Brad Pitt, 1427 01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:32.840 the woman probably can't get away with making an accusation 1428 01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:36.279 like this. But when he looks really unattractive, like Harvey Weinstein, 1429 01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:39.560 then they can claim, oh, he raped me, and then 1430 01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:42.560 then people will buy it because most people think, oh, yeah, 1431 01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:44.680 you would never sleep with a toad like that. 1432 01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:48.279 I think that it was all. I think it was 1433 01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:51.000 literally the entire point of him being brought to court 1434 01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:54.640 and done this way was so that they had to 1435 01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:55.319 acknowledge that. 1436 01:20:55.279 --> 01:20:56.760 His dick has gang green. 1437 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:02.319 Mm hmm. And that was also like, I don't feel 1438 01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:05.800 bad necessarily because again, he's using his position of power 1439 01:21:05.800 --> 01:21:09.680 to like basically force his will on women, and I 1440 01:21:09.680 --> 01:21:13.560 don't like that. That's not a good thing, right, But 1441 01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:15.399 the fact that it had to be brought up in 1442 01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:19.600 a court case and pictures of this had to be 1443 01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:22.800 shown in the official court document. I highly recommend that 1444 01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:25.359 nobody go look that up. By the way, do not 1445 01:21:25.399 --> 01:21:28.479 go look up pictures of Harvey Weinstein's dick. There are 1446 01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:31.800 certain things that you really just can't unsee. I'm just 1447 01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:35.760 gonna leave it at that. That being said, it was 1448 01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:40.039 a power move to remove power from him. I think 1449 01:21:40.079 --> 01:21:45.039 that was the entire point. And I don't believe that 1450 01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:49.479 some young twenty something year old actress who's trying to 1451 01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:51.319 make it in Hollywood and is trying to land this 1452 01:21:51.359 --> 01:21:55.199 big movie role didn't know why you'd be going to 1453 01:21:55.279 --> 01:21:57.560 this guy's hotel room at two thirty in the morning. 1454 01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:01.119 I have a hard time thinking that they're going to 1455 01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:02.880 play the whole Bay in the Woods routine and get 1456 01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:07.720 away with it. But yeah, I think that's Candas's position. 1457 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:13.840 I don't inherently disagree with the legality of it. Like 1458 01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:17.000 should he be arrested he's a shit bag, yes, one 1459 01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:19.359 hundred percent, and he shouldn't be in the position that 1460 01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:21.720 he's in or the position as far as like his 1461 01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:24.439 power in Hollywood, yes, that needed to be removed from him. 1462 01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:27.680 The disgusting things that he's doing do need to be 1463 01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:30.039 brought to light. Just like all of Hollywood. Like you said, 1464 01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:33.279 it's a cesspool. Everybody is doing and sleeping and whatever 1465 01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:37.880 to get their next advance or their next role in 1466 01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:40.680 this next big film or whatever the case, especially when 1467 01:22:40.680 --> 01:22:43.640 they're young and up and coming stars. I don't think 1468 01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:48.399 that that's okay. But it's also Hollywood. It is very, 1469 01:22:48.520 --> 01:22:52.000 very rarely merit based. It is absolutely who you know 1470 01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:56.399 and who you're physically or figuratively in bed with. So 1471 01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:59.760 I don't think he should be necessarily in prison for 1472 01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:04.720 this again, unless it's illegal. I don't know. If it's 1473 01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:07.079 illegal to sleep your way to the top, then I 1474 01:23:07.079 --> 01:23:09.319 have a lot of problems with a lot of professionals 1475 01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:12.119 that I personally know. That's all I'm going to say. 1476 01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:16.680 But yeah, so canas Owens is uh And I could 1477 01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:18.680 see the argument saying that this is her kind of 1478 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:22.600 going against the anti Semite role. But and Royce helped 1479 01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:25.520 me out here. I don't believe Harvey Weinstein is the 1480 01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:33.520 most menchest guy who's ever lived. Probably not. I would 1481 01:23:33.560 --> 01:23:36.479 think he's more of the Jewish by blood, not really 1482 01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:42.359 out there reciting the torah at at every opportunity. I 1483 01:23:42.399 --> 01:23:44.720 could be so wrong, and he's like the most devoutest 1484 01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:47.359 Jewish jew that ever lived. I could be wrong, but 1485 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:49.159 I just don't get that vibe. 1486 01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:51.960 I mean, he doesn't exactly where Yama goes. 1487 01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:54.520 So I don't even know if he does or doesn't. 1488 01:23:54.880 --> 01:23:55.920 Gonna be honest with. 1489 01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:59.600 You, and I don't believe I've never seen anyone where 1490 01:23:59.600 --> 01:23:59.960 he's learning. 1491 01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:03.279 I don't know what happens if he walks into a synagogue. 1492 01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:09.039 But I mean, as far as religious, I mean, not 1493 01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:10.880 exactly such mention. 1494 01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:14.840 Yeah, And so that being said, if Candace is trying 1495 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:19.720 to show how she is totally not a Zionist, or 1496 01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:23.079 she is an anti Semite, or either way this goes, 1497 01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:28.079 I feel like you could choose a better example than Weinstein. 1498 01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:31.439 I don't know. I do believe what she's saying about 1499 01:24:31.560 --> 01:24:35.079 Macrone and his husband, right, slash whatever you want to 1500 01:24:35.079 --> 01:24:40.800 call Brigitte specifically, because if what she was saying was 1501 01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:44.279 a false, it was a fallacy, was incorrect, they could 1502 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:49.920 sue the shit out of her for defamation and they can't. 1503 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:53.039 If they could have, they would have, and they can't. 1504 01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:55.840 I think that actually gives more credence to the facts 1505 01:24:55.880 --> 01:25:00.479 on this one. And I'm sorry, Brigitte is a very 1506 01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:05.520 handsome broad. I just yeah. And then did y'all see 1507 01:25:05.840 --> 01:25:07.600 the hit that I want to say, the hit the 1508 01:25:07.600 --> 01:25:12.399 double hand smoosh of of Emmanuel's face the other day 1509 01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:17.800 on the plane. Yeah, oh my god, talk about emasculating. 1510 01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:20.319 And then like after this whoosh and he looks at 1511 01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:22.840 the cameras like, oh hey, like he didn't know cameras 1512 01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:26.680 are right there. Like that, dude, I would rather an 1513 01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:32.239 open hand slap than a double hand smoosh on the cameras, Like, oh, bro, 1514 01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:37.319 that's that's just humiliating. You just got smoothed by your dad. 1515 01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:40.760 Although at a certain point, could this be also listed 1516 01:25:40.800 --> 01:25:45.279 as child abuse if that's his dad or slash uncle, 1517 01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:54.359 slash whatever, just saying it could be. Yeah. So Candace's 1518 01:25:54.840 --> 01:25:57.119 candas is doing canvas things, and she's bringing a lot 1519 01:25:57.119 --> 01:25:59.800 of things to light. What I do know about her 1520 01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:04.720 is that the media is terrified of her and no 1521 01:26:04.760 --> 01:26:07.960 one wants to be in her crossairs because of how 1522 01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:12.159 she is with her due diligence on topics. I'm not 1523 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:16.600 saying that she never misses. I'm saying I have yet 1524 01:26:16.640 --> 01:26:19.960 to see her miss and I'll leave it at that. 1525 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:24.439 So until further notice, I think Brigitte's got a dick 1526 01:26:25.399 --> 01:26:28.880 and until further notice, I do kind of see the 1527 01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:34.199 argument saying that Harvey shouldn't be in prison for sexual assault, 1528 01:26:34.760 --> 01:26:37.199 he should be in prison for being a discussing human being. 1529 01:26:37.319 --> 01:26:39.479 But I don't think it's illegal to be a discussing 1530 01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:42.359 human being. I don't know, That's all I'm saying. 1531 01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.960 But you know how we talked a wile ago about 1532 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:53.159 how Jerry Sandusky is inno sense mm hm, Well, there 1533 01:26:53.199 --> 01:26:55.520 hasn't been too much progress on this yet, but a 1534 01:26:55.520 --> 01:26:58.159 lot of the Jerry Sandusky innocent people are trying to 1535 01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:03.000 get Candae Ownes attention, thinking, hey, I feel defend Harvey Weinstein. 1536 01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:07.399 Why don't you defend somebody who's actually completely innocent, Because 1537 01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:09.920 that is the case for Sandusky, and he was just 1538 01:27:10.039 --> 01:27:12.680 very naive and didn't even put up a legal defense 1539 01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:16.479 for himself. And it's very tragic. He's eighty something, he's 1540 01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:19.279 eighty one years old now, and he's still stuck in prison. 1541 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:23.000 But he's still married and the prisoners are convinced of 1542 01:27:23.039 --> 01:27:26.640 his innocence. Normally pedophiles get murdered in prison or at 1543 01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:30.640 least severely injured and abused, but he's convinced all of 1544 01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:32.640 his fellow inmates that he's innocent. 1545 01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:34.600 Oh, if you get locked up and you have a 1546 01:27:34.680 --> 01:27:37.119 jacket on your profile, that's that's what it's called. When 1547 01:27:37.119 --> 01:27:40.199 you have like that extra thing on it, you don't 1548 01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:45.079 last long either. Ay, they use you repeatedly, and not 1549 01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:48.399 just for not just for for sexual things, but also 1550 01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:51.520 just for beat downs, for stabbings, for whatever, and they'll 1551 01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:53.560 make your life a living hell until they decide to 1552 01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:56.319 get rid of you. But if he's able to convince 1553 01:27:56.319 --> 01:28:00.600 the entire prison that he is innocent with a jacket 1554 01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:05.640 on his folder, like, that's that's I don't think people 1555 01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:08.840 fully grasp how big of us of a pole that is. 1556 01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:15.479 That's pretty large, So I don't know. Hopefully Candiszons can 1557 01:28:15.520 --> 01:28:18.560 take a little bit of a notice onto Sanduski and 1558 01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:22.319 maybe bring some things to light about them. One can 1559 01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:26.159 only hope. Uh, all right, let me check the chat here. 1560 01:28:26.720 --> 01:28:30.760 Raven Lee has sent something in here. This is interesting. 1561 01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:36.039 A new planet with signs of life, Neptara nine. I 1562 01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:39.399 heard something about this briefly, but I haven't seen much. 1563 01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:43.439 Let's see. Imagine a planet with lakes and ocean surrounding it, 1564 01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:47.760 covered in blue colored forests. In January twenty twenty five, 1565 01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:52.319 NASA announced the discovery of Neptura nine, a planet located 1566 01:28:52.520 --> 01:28:56.960 in the habitable zone of earthsa major galaxy. Using advanced 1567 01:28:57.000 --> 01:29:03.119 spectroscopic imaging, scientists analyzing the or analyzed the planet's atmosphere 1568 01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:06.319 and discovered that it contains a level of oxygen comparable 1569 01:29:06.319 --> 01:29:11.239 with that of Earth millions of years ago. Wow. What 1570 01:29:11.359 --> 01:29:16.560 makes this planet unique is its massive mountainous terrain covered 1571 01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:20.000 in light reflecting materials, indicating the presence of rare minerals. 1572 01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:22.439 According to scientists, this environment may. 1573 01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:26.720 Support primitive life forms or even advanced organisms. Scientists have 1574 01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:29.720 already begun to develop plans to explore the planet using 1575 01:29:29.760 --> 01:29:33.279 advanced probes set to launch within the next decade. This 1576 01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:38.520 discovery of Neptura nine provides provides new insights into the 1577 01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:42.600 possibility of a life elsewhere in the universe, expanding our 1578 01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:48.119 understanding of Earth like planets. I love it. I absolutely 1579 01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:50.960 love it. I've never in my entire life, even as 1580 01:29:51.000 --> 01:29:53.159 a small child, believed that we were the only planet 1581 01:29:53.159 --> 01:29:55.680 that had life on it, maybe the only one in 1582 01:29:55.720 --> 01:29:57.800 our solar system. And I put a maybe on that. 1583 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:00.720 But oh man, but that's that's the other thing too. 1584 01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:03.479 I have no idea how long it would take for 1585 01:30:04.239 --> 01:30:07.119 any kind of scientific probe to get from us to 1586 01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:11.640 the earthsa major galaxy like It's gotta be longer than 1587 01:30:11.640 --> 01:30:14.239 a few decades unless we can develop. 1588 01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:17.159 More efficient space travel. 1589 01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:21.920 I don't know. And that kind of leads back to 1590 01:30:22.840 --> 01:30:27.640 the whole launch pad thing in space. So, from my understanding, 1591 01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:32.199 the hardest part about getting a human, a rocket or 1592 01:30:32.279 --> 01:30:36.239 whatever from Earth's surface into space is breaking through the atmosphere. 1593 01:30:36.640 --> 01:30:40.359 Once you're out there, there's no real resistance, and the 1594 01:30:40.439 --> 01:30:42.640 problem is most of your fuel has been burned, if 1595 01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:45.479 not all your fuel has been burned to get you 1596 01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:48.680 through the atmosphere in the first place. So, and I've 1597 01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:51.439 brought this up before for anybody who is new to 1598 01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:53.800 listening to the Cage to Night, quick backstory here. I 1599 01:30:54.039 --> 01:30:58.079 once had some friends who were a rocket scientist, and 1600 01:30:58.279 --> 01:31:03.439 one of the guys actually helped build the SpaceX rockets. Okay, 1601 01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:06.840 they were operating out of Stennis Air Force Base. As 1602 01:31:06.880 --> 01:31:09.239 a matter of fact, there's a big it's like a 1603 01:31:09.279 --> 01:31:11.560 research lab for rocketing out that way too. It's on 1604 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:16.079 the border of Mississippi and Louisiana and They were saying 1605 01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:19.880 that Musk's big pull was that he was trying to 1606 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:25.199 get to Mars because Mars has crystallized methanol all over 1607 01:31:25.399 --> 01:31:29.239 the planet. Methanol, for anybody who doesn't know, is very 1608 01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:33.000 comparable to ethanol in the fact that it is a 1609 01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:36.439 hydrocarbon that is used as a fuel replacement the same 1610 01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:40.319 way that you know, we use ethanol on in America 1611 01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:43.359 as far as like you know, it's corn based fuel replacement. 1612 01:31:44.039 --> 01:31:48.199 In China, they use methanol. It's also called LNG liquid 1613 01:31:48.279 --> 01:31:52.920 natural gas. It's it's condensed natural gas, but it's crystallized 1614 01:31:52.960 --> 01:31:57.000 in space because it is so cold there that it's frozen. 1615 01:31:57.880 --> 01:32:01.840 The theory as of this moment moment is that Musk 1616 01:32:02.000 --> 01:32:04.479 is trying to get to Mars so that he can 1617 01:32:04.600 --> 01:32:08.159 process this methanol and turn it into a fuel source 1618 01:32:08.199 --> 01:32:11.079 that he can use Mars as a launching platform to 1619 01:32:11.199 --> 01:32:16.760 explore space. Essentially, if you can get through Earth's atmosphere 1620 01:32:16.760 --> 01:32:19.359 and set up a base of operations, you set up 1621 01:32:19.359 --> 01:32:23.000 a refining site, and then you set up a rocket 1622 01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:24.119 building facility. 1623 01:32:24.399 --> 01:32:25.199 Now I'm sure I. 1624 01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:27.319 Don't know to what level and extent you'd have to 1625 01:32:27.319 --> 01:32:30.039 have logistics all mapped out here. You have to be 1626 01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:31.960 able to get all the materials to Mars. It's not 1627 01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:33.920 like you're going there to start a mining operation to 1628 01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:36.560 find iron ore to make the steel and make the 1629 01:32:36.600 --> 01:32:38.279 aluminum for the rockets. I don't know. 1630 01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:39.800 I'm not that guy. 1631 01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:44.119 All I'm saying is that the big picture plan is 1632 01:32:44.159 --> 01:32:48.399 to set up an entire community. I'm not going to 1633 01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.520 say a whole society, although there's people that speculate this 1634 01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:56.680 an entire community and refinement center on Mars to turn 1635 01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:00.840 this crystallized methanol into an actual fuel source for the rockets, 1636 01:33:01.119 --> 01:33:03.239 and they'll be able to launch straight from Mars surface 1637 01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:06.439 to wherever they want, and they'll have so much fuel 1638 01:33:06.439 --> 01:33:08.640 to use because they won't have to worry about getting 1639 01:33:08.680 --> 01:33:14.199 through the atmosphere. Now, as China is talking about building 1640 01:33:14.239 --> 01:33:17.000 this facility on the dark side of the Moon and 1641 01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:21.000 they're trying to source H three from the back side 1642 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:24.159 of the Moon, I'm wondering if that's also their plan. 1643 01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:29.720 Because on Earth we have different kinds of laws than space. 1644 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:33.239 There's not many laws when it comes to space because 1645 01:33:33.239 --> 01:33:35.359 no one's really got out there and started claiming things 1646 01:33:35.359 --> 01:33:39.279 for themselves. But it is a very real possibility that 1647 01:33:39.399 --> 01:33:44.960 whoever gets to Mars first gets exclusive rights to whatever's 1648 01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:47.800 on Mars and or could claim the planet for themselves. 1649 01:33:48.880 --> 01:33:52.439 I'm not saying that that's what's gonna happen. I'm saying 1650 01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:55.960 it's a possibility. If China gets to the to the 1651 01:33:55.960 --> 01:33:59.880 Moon and starts processing this H three and they use 1652 01:33:59.920 --> 01:34:03.199 that as a jumping platform to get to Mars before 1653 01:34:03.279 --> 01:34:07.239 Elon does, China will now have a monopoly on the 1654 01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:11.960 methanol crystals, therefore a monopoly on the entire planet. They 1655 01:34:11.960 --> 01:34:16.319 can claim it as their territory, and space could absolutely 1656 01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:18.680 become a war fighting front if someone else tries to 1657 01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:23.119 land on Mars. Now, adversely, if America lands there first, 1658 01:34:23.359 --> 01:34:26.399 we could do hypothetically the same thing, depending on whoever 1659 01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:28.640 is in the White House at that time, they could 1660 01:34:28.640 --> 01:34:32.560 claim the entirety of Mars as American territory and set 1661 01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:35.119 up a defensive posture in that way. I'm not saying 1662 01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:37.399 that they would do that, I'm saying there's a greater 1663 01:34:37.479 --> 01:34:38.640 than zero percent chance of it. 1664 01:34:39.319 --> 01:34:42.640 So with that being said, I don't know how this. 1665 01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:46.239 Future is gonna shake out, But if either of these groups, 1666 01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:49.439 I know Musk is trying to basically privatize and monopolize 1667 01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:52.119 space exploration for himself. 1668 01:34:52.920 --> 01:34:53.920 I'm not mad at it. 1669 01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:55.960 I get it. I don't think it'll really work out 1670 01:34:56.000 --> 01:35:01.319 that way, but I mean points for effort here. China is, 1671 01:35:01.359 --> 01:35:03.680 of course trying to do what they can to secure 1672 01:35:03.720 --> 01:35:06.640 their future in whatever that may look like for them. 1673 01:35:07.840 --> 01:35:09.359 If this was to go down. 1674 01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:13.359 And it becomes a war between because there's already a 1675 01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:16.840 war going on between Musk and China for data on Earth, 1676 01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:23.760 if it becomes a space war between Musk and China 1677 01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:30.079 for space resources, I don't even know if they have enough. 1678 01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:33.479 This is the stuff the movies are made out of. 1679 01:35:34.119 --> 01:35:36.880 I absolutely love it. I don't know, I don't know. 1680 01:35:36.920 --> 01:35:39.520 The future is a weird place. I'm excited to get there, 1681 01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:43.159 but also kind of trepidacious to some of the things 1682 01:35:44.680 --> 01:35:47.600 we will see. If Nepturnah nine can be explored, hopefully 1683 01:35:47.640 --> 01:35:51.039 in our lifetime, that would be sick again. I have 1684 01:35:51.079 --> 01:35:53.920 no idea how many white years away. You know what, 1685 01:35:54.039 --> 01:35:55.119 I'm going to google that. 1686 01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:59.479 The buzz about Neptarah nine. Scientists just discovered this new 1687 01:35:59.560 --> 01:36:04.920 planet and it's unlike anything we've seen. Picture this swirling 1688 01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:10.319 clouds of vibrant colors, liquid oceans, and a mysterious atmosphere. 1689 01:36:11.239 --> 01:36:15.039 But here's the kicker. Some researchers believe it might actually 1690 01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:19.800 support life. Imagine alien creatures thriving in a world we've 1691 01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:24.119 never known. It's about twenty light years away, and with 1692 01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:29.079 advanced telescopes, we're getting closer to uncovering its secrets. Is 1693 01:36:29.159 --> 01:36:34.119 there life on Neptarah nine. Only time will tell, but 1694 01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:41.840 the possibilities are mind blowing. Keep your eyes on the stars. 1695 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:46.760 Twenty light years away. Holy shit. Okay, let's go ahead 1696 01:36:46.760 --> 01:36:47.199 and watch. 1697 01:36:47.039 --> 01:36:48.359 This one here, because it seems a little more In. 1698 01:36:48.600 --> 01:36:52.760 The vast expanse of the earthsa major constellation, NASA has 1699 01:36:52.880 --> 01:36:56.359 unveiled the world that could rewrite our understanding of life 1700 01:36:56.439 --> 01:36:59.600 in the cosmos. Meet NEPTARH nine, and earth sized planet 1701 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.880 cooked in blue forests and towering mountains that shimmer like diamonds. 1702 01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:08.319 Discovered in January twenty twenty five, this alien world is 1703 01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:12.920 already challenging everything we thought we knew about habitable planets. 1704 01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:18.800 One the discovery, using next gen spectroscopic tech, NASI detected 1705 01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:22.199 an oxygen rich atmosphere on Neptar nine to twenty one 1706 01:37:22.239 --> 01:37:26.399 percent oh matching Earth's levels to point five billion years ago. 1707 01:37:26.720 --> 01:37:31.279 But here's the twist. Hubble's successor, the UVE ex orbiter 1708 01:37:31.840 --> 01:37:36.319 spotted eerie light finger print sugis vast force reflecting blue wavelengths. 1709 01:37:36.600 --> 01:37:40.600 Unlike Earth's chlorophyll, these alien plants might use retinal like 1710 01:37:40.640 --> 01:37:45.840 pigments to harness starlight. In doctor Kaltenegger's word oxygen alone 1711 01:37:46.119 --> 01:37:49.439 in proof of life on Earth, it took two billion 1712 01:37:49.520 --> 01:37:53.880 years for photosynthesis to fill our skies, but Neptar's oxygen 1713 01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:58.079 persists without detectable CO or methane, a puzzle that could 1714 01:37:58.159 --> 01:38:03.560 hint at biology two. The planet's secrets. Neptar's mountains are 1715 01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:09.239 laced with hyperflective minerals, possibly bore on nitride or exotic ices. 1716 01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:14.000 These peaks act like cosmic mirrors, bouncing starlight into valleys 1717 01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:18.439 where blue trees thrive. But how Theory one, the forests 1718 01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:22.720 absorb v light for energy, emitting blue via fluorescence like 1719 01:38:22.800 --> 01:38:27.760 deep sea corals. Theory two, the foliage uses metallic compounds 1720 01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:31.880 to survive brutal solar flares from Neptar's active en dwarf star, 1721 01:38:32.319 --> 01:38:37.279 unlike hot jupiters losing atmospheres to space Neptar's gravity and 1722 01:38:37.359 --> 01:38:41.319 cool starshield its air a rare stable oasis three The 1723 01:38:41.439 --> 01:38:45.880 Hunt for life. In twenty thirty one, NASA's Stellar's Probe 1724 01:38:45.880 --> 01:38:49.600 will launch to study Neptar's air for biosignatures like methyl 1725 01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:54.760 chlorida gas. Microbes emit, but skeptics worn supervolcanos could also 1726 01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:58.800 pump out out the key finding methane spikes alongside at 1727 01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:04.640 a combo. Only light makes sustainably. In doctor avilobe Astrobiologist's word, 1728 01:39:05.279 --> 01:39:09.920 If Neptarah's forests are real, they dwarf Earth's biosphere. Imagine 1729 01:39:10.039 --> 01:39:14.239 organisms with silicon based blood or liquid methane rivers. This 1730 01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:19.039 isn't science fiction for alien evolution? Could life here look 1731 01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:23.520 anything like us on Earth? Extremophiles thrive in acid and 1732 01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:28.640 boiling vents on Neptara. Maybe trees draw nutrients from metallic soil, 1733 01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:33.079 and creatures navigate using magnetic fields from those radiant peaks 1734 01:39:33.479 --> 01:39:37.760 Lessons from Earth's past. Oxygen surged here only after microbes 1735 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:41.279 hijacked the air. Neptara's story might be playing out live 1736 01:39:41.319 --> 01:39:45.880 a baby biosphere. We're glimpsing in real time. So NEPTARH 1737 01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:49.039 nine isn't just a planet. It's a question are we 1738 01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:53.439 alone unique or us one note in a galactic symphony 1739 01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:56.840 of life while we wait for answers. Look up tonight 1740 01:39:57.239 --> 01:40:00.720 that faint blue dot in URSA major it's streaming forests. 1741 01:40:01.039 --> 01:40:02.279 Hit subscribe the stone. 1742 01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:06.039 Okay, so they're talking about it being twenty light years away. 1743 01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:09.680 I have no idea how they expect to get there 1744 01:40:11.199 --> 01:40:14.760 in any kind of real time to be able to 1745 01:40:14.800 --> 01:40:16.960 send a probe now. Yeah, like they were talking about 1746 01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:22.159 using like, uh, spectroscopy in light to see what the 1747 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:24.439 atmosphere might be made out of and things like that 1748 01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:28.960 with you one hundred percent, I have no idea how 1749 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:31.840 they plan on getting there, if they ever actually do 1750 01:40:31.880 --> 01:40:33.159 plan on sending something there. 1751 01:40:35.600 --> 01:40:39.920 That is insane. That is insane, but also like how 1752 01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:41.239 there's questions about. 1753 01:40:41.039 --> 01:40:44.439 If like the trees there or their version of trees 1754 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:49.000 there might be using metallic soil for nutrients and life 1755 01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:56.800 forms there, use magnetism to navigate the terrain, methyl rivers. 1756 01:40:56.560 --> 01:40:57.760 Silicon based blood. 1757 01:40:57.800 --> 01:41:02.840 That's insane to me, so pretty incredible. 1758 01:41:03.640 --> 01:41:06.199 I would love to see bat blood. Wait, what is 1759 01:41:06.239 --> 01:41:08.000 this bat blood? 1760 01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:10.199 They're working with it to change our blood to be 1761 01:41:10.239 --> 01:41:13.800 able to do hyperspace and chronosleep to make those trips. 1762 01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:16.800 I've heard stories that they're trying to use different types 1763 01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:19.840 of blood to try to change the DNA sequence to 1764 01:41:19.880 --> 01:41:23.960 where we could go into basically hibernation. But even still, 1765 01:41:24.840 --> 01:41:27.720 by the time that let's say we were to spend 1766 01:41:28.920 --> 01:41:31.239 a sind excuse and not spend by the time we 1767 01:41:31.239 --> 01:41:35.640 were to send astronauts or explorers or whatever to that 1768 01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:40.840 planet twenty light years, we don't have the ability to 1769 01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:43.800 travel at the speed of light, So we're talking about 1770 01:41:44.399 --> 01:41:49.760 hundreds thousands of years, depending on what the engineering of 1771 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:52.239 our craft will be able to accomplish at that time. 1772 01:41:53.479 --> 01:41:58.199 There's no way, as of our current understanding of technology 1773 01:41:58.560 --> 01:42:01.359 to even get them there and send them back. If 1774 01:42:01.399 --> 01:42:03.720 it was to send a human being, to send a 1775 01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:06.479 satellite or something like that, maybe, But I mean, hell, 1776 01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:10.399 the one that we sent out that's approaching Jupiter kind 1777 01:42:10.439 --> 01:42:14.920 of well, I say, approaching Jupiter. It's slowly approaching Jupiter 1778 01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:17.920 that got sent out how many years back, and it's 1779 01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:20.520 only taken that long to slowly drift out that way. 1780 01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:24.680 You know. Oh, Ravenly has sent another article. Let's check 1781 01:42:24.720 --> 01:42:28.800 this one out. Wow, all right, yep, I'm gonna to 1782 01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:33.079 share this Green on this one again. Let's go wow, 1783 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:33.880 wow wow. 1784 01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:38.960 This is for an interesting engineering dot com Interstellar dreams. 1785 01:42:39.039 --> 01:42:44.159 Batblood may enable human hibernation for long space travel. Thus 1786 01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:48.359 hibernation could become essential for futures get out of here ad. Thus, 1787 01:42:48.439 --> 01:42:52.560 hibernation could become essential for future space missions, enabling astronauts 1788 01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:56.239 to sleep through the long stretches of travel time. As 1789 01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:59.960 humanity dreams of becoming a starfaring civilization, the challenges of 1790 01:43:00.079 --> 01:43:03.760 long duration space travel loom large. One potential solution to 1791 01:43:03.800 --> 01:43:07.479 this challenge is hibernation, which scientists believe could help astronauts 1792 01:43:07.560 --> 01:43:11.359 endure long journeys between stars. NASA has been investigating this 1793 01:43:11.479 --> 01:43:15.319 idea for years, even studying the hibernation patterns of Arctic 1794 01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:18.960 ground squirrels. That's pretty funny. Whenever I think of Arctic 1795 01:43:19.000 --> 01:43:21.000 ground squirrel, all I can think of his ice age. 1796 01:43:21.560 --> 01:43:25.039 That's just me. However, recent research from a team in 1797 01:43:25.039 --> 01:43:30.800 Germany led by Gerald Kerth at University of Graftswald has 1798 01:43:30.840 --> 01:43:35.760 focused on bats for insight into effective hibernation. Now, before 1799 01:43:35.800 --> 01:43:41.239 I read any further, is there any connection between the 1800 01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:44.960 study that this lab is doing with bats and the 1801 01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:50.439 story of COVID being associated with bat meat being eaten 1802 01:43:50.560 --> 01:43:53.680 by people in Asia and China and Wuhan, and that's 1803 01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:58.319 what started it all. I'm not saying there's confirmed for sure. 1804 01:43:59.000 --> 01:44:01.479 I'm saying it's an interesting thing to just point out anyway. 1805 01:44:01.520 --> 01:44:05.000 Moving on, the study published in the journal Proceedings of 1806 01:44:05.079 --> 01:44:10.560 the National Academy of Sciences, explores the role of erethoscites, 1807 01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:14.560 a specific type of red blood cell, in the hibernation process. 1808 01:44:14.960 --> 01:44:19.000 Hibernation is a crucial biological strategy for many mammals, allowing 1809 01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:21.520 them to conserve energy and survive in the face of 1810 01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:25.720 scarce scarce resources. If humanity is to travel to its 1811 01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:29.880 neighboring stars, such as Proxima Centuri, which is four point 1812 01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:33.560 two four light years away, it must contend with the 1813 01:44:33.600 --> 01:44:37.720 reality that even a near light speed such journey could 1814 01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:42.359 take decades right exactly. Thus, hibernation could become essential for 1815 01:44:42.439 --> 01:44:46.079 future space missions, enabling astronauts to sleep through the long 1816 01:44:46.119 --> 01:44:49.560 stretches of travel time. Kerth and his research team conducted 1817 01:44:49.600 --> 01:44:55.159 extensive analysis on the ethractes from both hibernating bats specifically 1818 01:44:56.760 --> 01:45:03.239 Nictalis nocturla noctila sure and non hibernating bats not going 1819 01:45:03.319 --> 01:45:06.119 to try to pronounce that Latin as well as human 1820 01:45:06.159 --> 01:45:09.800 blood samples. Understanding how these blood cells adapt during hibernation 1821 01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:13.600 is vital, as hibernating animals still require a functioning blood 1822 01:45:13.600 --> 01:45:16.760 supply to deliver oxygen to their tissues even as their 1823 01:45:16.800 --> 01:45:21.119 body temperature drops significantly. Now bat blood, the research team 1824 01:45:21.199 --> 01:45:24.840 noted that blood cells alter their shape in response to 1825 01:45:24.960 --> 01:45:28.279 changes in pressure and blood vessel size. This prompted them 1826 01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:31.880 to investigate whether the extreme conditions during hibernation might also 1827 01:45:32.000 --> 01:45:35.560 trigger changes in blood cells. What they discovered was compelling. 1828 01:45:35.840 --> 01:45:39.520 As internal temperatures of the hibernating species fell from ninety 1829 01:45:39.640 --> 01:45:44.159 nine degrees fahrenheit to about seventy three degrees fahrenheit, the 1830 01:45:44.199 --> 01:45:49.760 structure of ethractes across all species examined significantly transformed. The 1831 01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:54.960 cells became less elastic and more viscous, indicating physiological adaptation 1832 01:45:55.119 --> 01:45:59.199 to conserve energy and cold conditions. Interestingly, the study revealed 1833 01:45:59.199 --> 01:46:04.920 a significant distinction. While bat erythiscites continue to transform as 1834 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:08.600 temperatures plunged to fifty degrees fahrenheit, the human blood cells 1835 01:46:08.600 --> 01:46:11.920 stalled in their response at lower temperatures. This suggests that 1836 01:46:11.960 --> 01:46:16.479 bats possess unique adaptations that enable them to withstand extreme cold, 1837 01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:19.640 a trait that could be harnessed for potential human application. 1838 01:46:20.239 --> 01:46:22.119 Now, human hibernation. 1839 01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:25.840 While applying hibernation techniques to space travel is a long 1840 01:46:25.960 --> 01:46:30.000 term goal, the immediate implications of this research could be revolutionary. 1841 01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:33.399 In medicine, Scientists believe that understanding how to manipulate the 1842 01:46:33.399 --> 01:46:36.800 mechanical properties of human blood cells could optimize circulation for 1843 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:43.319 pharmaceutical purposes. Of course, they do current surgical techniques such 1844 01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:50.880 as deep hypothermic circulatory arrests DHCA already utilized controlled hypothermia 1845 01:46:50.920 --> 01:46:55.439 to stop brain function during complex surgeries temporarily. Kirth highlighted 1846 01:46:55.479 --> 01:46:58.840 the importance of this research, indicating that while the prospect 1847 01:46:58.880 --> 01:47:01.439 of hibernation for human is not just around the corner, 1848 01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:05.760 the findings represent a significant step forward. There are benefits 1849 01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:09.359 of putting humans in low temperature during interstellar flight, he stated, 1850 01:47:09.439 --> 01:47:14.079 emphasizing the researcher's long term potential. Ultimately, this study illustrates 1851 01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:17.319 the profound insights of the animal kingdom can offer about 1852 01:47:17.600 --> 01:47:23.319 survival strategies and physiological adaptations. By learning from bats hibernating abilities, 1853 01:47:23.560 --> 01:47:28.239 scientists may pave the way for humans to traverse the 1854 01:47:28.279 --> 01:47:31.920 cosmos in the future, hibernation may become a crucial aspect 1855 01:47:32.039 --> 01:47:37.680 of interstellar exploration. That is pretty fascinating. I'm not gonna lie. 1856 01:47:37.880 --> 01:47:39.239 I think we get the gist of it. Though they're 1857 01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:44.039 trying to use bat blood to rewrite the DNA and 1858 01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:46.720 genetic code and humans to where hibernation could become a thing. 1859 01:47:48.399 --> 01:47:52.479 I'm not the biggest fan of DNA sequence splicing as 1860 01:47:52.520 --> 01:47:56.720 far as the humanity is concerned. I'm also speaking completely 1861 01:47:56.720 --> 01:48:00.800 out of ignorance on that there may absolutely these secrets 1862 01:48:00.800 --> 01:48:05.359 to unlocking immortality and doing this. I just I don't 1863 01:48:05.359 --> 01:48:07.720 believe the human body was meant to last more than 1864 01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:11.720 one hundred to one hundred and twenty years, like in general. 1865 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:14.960 Yes, there's exceptions to that rule, but on average. 1866 01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:17.279 My god. But let's say you were to induce some 1867 01:48:17.399 --> 01:48:22.760 sort of a hibernation state and that most closely connected 1868 01:48:22.760 --> 01:48:25.279 spot they were talking about four point two light years away, 1869 01:48:26.119 --> 01:48:30.920 We're still talking about decades to make that journey. That 1870 01:48:31.079 --> 01:48:33.880 is a lot. That is a far cry from twenty 1871 01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:37.439 light years away to get to this potentially life sustaining planet. 1872 01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:41.319 And also because of that whole theory, well not theory, 1873 01:48:41.319 --> 01:48:44.039 it's understood fact that like, the light that we're seeing 1874 01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:48.119 from these stars is x amount of light years old. Right, 1875 01:48:48.199 --> 01:48:50.079 we are currently looking up at a star and we're 1876 01:48:50.079 --> 01:48:52.920 seeing the light from it, but that light might be 1877 01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:55.640 two hundred light years old. And even if you were 1878 01:48:55.680 --> 01:48:57.760 to go to that planet now, who's to say they 1879 01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:01.680 even exists anymore, or that whatever was creating the light 1880 01:49:01.920 --> 01:49:04.039 is still doing so. Right, how many of these stars 1881 01:49:04.039 --> 01:49:06.640 have burned out but we're still seeing the light from 1882 01:49:06.720 --> 01:49:10.720 them before they burned out. Things like that. So, from 1883 01:49:10.720 --> 01:49:15.079 what they're reading about this planet that might sustain life currently, 1884 01:49:16.439 --> 01:49:19.079 what's to say that they don't have life currently there, 1885 01:49:19.079 --> 01:49:22.920 but by the time we make it there, they've ruined 1886 01:49:23.000 --> 01:49:26.359 that life. The inhabitants of the planet have had something 1887 01:49:26.439 --> 01:49:30.319 catastrophic happened, and they ruined the evolutionary sequence for themselves. 1888 01:49:30.880 --> 01:49:33.319 What's to say that they don't also advance in a 1889 01:49:33.479 --> 01:49:36.680 very much human esque type of way, and by the 1890 01:49:36.720 --> 01:49:40.600 time we get there, they are what we are now. 1891 01:49:41.560 --> 01:49:44.319 I mean, who's to say, right, it's all super hypothetical 1892 01:49:44.319 --> 01:49:47.399 and super up to conjecture, But I find it interesting 1893 01:49:47.439 --> 01:49:51.119 that they are trying to do more to have space 1894 01:49:51.199 --> 01:49:55.600 exploration happen. With that being said, kind of a callback 1895 01:49:55.600 --> 01:49:59.960 to earlier in the episode. China is saying that America 1896 01:50:00.159 --> 01:50:03.880 is turning space into a war fighting front, which is 1897 01:50:03.920 --> 01:50:07.359 specifically what Trump was trying to do when he created 1898 01:50:07.359 --> 01:50:10.640 the Space Force. So I don't know why they are. 1899 01:50:10.600 --> 01:50:12.600 Taking that stance of opposition now. 1900 01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:15.560 And if any of y'all have any theories on this one, 1901 01:50:15.680 --> 01:50:19.600 please let please share it with the class, because I 1902 01:50:19.640 --> 01:50:23.279 don't get it. How would us having a better defensive 1903 01:50:23.279 --> 01:50:29.479 posture for our shores, our coast, our country. How would 1904 01:50:29.479 --> 01:50:34.640 that make China feel like like they are under attack. 1905 01:50:34.680 --> 01:50:38.239 They're saying that this is an offensive step. How is 1906 01:50:38.279 --> 01:50:44.039 having a better shield taking an offensive step. I'm not 1907 01:50:44.079 --> 01:50:48.119 saying that this is obviously China trying to Yeah, we're 1908 01:50:48.119 --> 01:50:50.600 getting in the way of them attacking America. I don't 1909 01:50:50.640 --> 01:50:53.239 believe that that's the case. Here. They're saying that it's 1910 01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:56.199 no longer equal, that this tips the scales of mutually 1911 01:50:56.239 --> 01:51:01.199 assured destruction, which yeah, I mean not necessarily. It makes 1912 01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:03.199 it to where nobody can attack us even if they 1913 01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:07.479 wanted to. Tony, go ahead and chime in on this one, brother. Yeah. 1914 01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:10.239 The reason for this is it goes back to forty 1915 01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:14.199 years ago with the Cold War, and even defensive measures 1916 01:51:14.760 --> 01:51:18.800 like the star Wars program were seen as tipping the 1917 01:51:18.840 --> 01:51:22.600 overall balance of power too much in favor to one side. 1918 01:51:23.039 --> 01:51:27.279 So the idea is that would make the side with 1919 01:51:27.319 --> 01:51:31.760 a better defensive capability have an itchier trigger finger because 1920 01:51:31.800 --> 01:51:34.720 they think they can get away with a first strike, 1921 01:51:34.800 --> 01:51:38.840 for example, with faster weapons. This is just the argument, yeah, 1922 01:51:38.880 --> 01:51:41.880 and you know the counter argument is, well, it's just defensive, 1923 01:51:42.199 --> 01:51:43.239 you know, stop complaining. 1924 01:51:44.600 --> 01:51:49.079 I I hear what you're saying, and I mean, like 1925 01:51:49.119 --> 01:51:52.000 you're playing Devil's advocate. Now. I get that, like this 1926 01:51:52.119 --> 01:51:55.760 is in Tony's opinion, but I don't understand how that 1927 01:51:55.800 --> 01:52:00.439 would make anybody have necessarily an itchier trigger finger. I mean, 1928 01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:02.680 Israel's been a nuclear power for quite some time and 1929 01:52:02.720 --> 01:52:04.600 they have an iron dome. They have yet to drop 1930 01:52:04.720 --> 01:52:09.279 nukes on anybody. I don't know. I think that at 1931 01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:12.159 this point, China is not exactly the biggest fans of 1932 01:52:12.199 --> 01:52:16.359 America and specifically Trump, So anything Trump tries to do 1933 01:52:16.600 --> 01:52:18.560 China is just going to have something to say in 1934 01:52:18.640 --> 01:52:23.359 retort against it. Possibly, I don't know. 1935 01:52:24.399 --> 01:52:27.439 Yeah, it's just an overall reason to say, hey, we 1936 01:52:27.479 --> 01:52:32.319 don't want you to do that, But you know, I 1937 01:52:32.920 --> 01:52:35.319 am more, I am kind of in favor of people 1938 01:52:35.359 --> 01:52:38.720 having missile defense shields, even if it does provoke a 1939 01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:42.800 race to more missile defense shields worldwide. You know, why 1940 01:52:42.840 --> 01:52:45.920 can't China and Russia develop their own missile defense shield? 1941 01:52:46.279 --> 01:52:48.000 I think they could probably do it if we can 1942 01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:48.359 do it. 1943 01:52:49.159 --> 01:52:52.840 There's literally nothing stopping them from doing that, right, I mean, 1944 01:52:52.920 --> 01:52:56.680 And granted, Israel is give or take the size of 1945 01:52:56.720 --> 01:52:58.800 New Jersey, if I'm not mistaken, So it's a lot 1946 01:52:58.880 --> 01:53:02.159 easier and a lot more logistically. Is it's not so 1947 01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:05.399 much of a feat to put an iron dome in 1948 01:53:05.720 --> 01:53:09.640 that type of land mass. China, Russia, the United States 1949 01:53:09.880 --> 01:53:14.000 we are massive countries with a lot of acreage, and 1950 01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:17.800 so it's more of a logistical nightmare to try to 1951 01:53:17.800 --> 01:53:21.359 implement a system like this. But to your point, there's 1952 01:53:21.439 --> 01:53:25.119 nothing preventing China from creating their own version of the 1953 01:53:25.119 --> 01:53:29.079 Golden Dome or Russia from doing the same if they 1954 01:53:29.079 --> 01:53:32.479 don't have the logistical capabilities or the weapons to like 1955 01:53:32.520 --> 01:53:36.359 the rockets. If you will to do that, then that's 1956 01:53:36.399 --> 01:53:37.319 a dumb problem. 1957 01:53:37.880 --> 01:53:40.319 I don't know, I don't know. Maybe you're right, Maybe 1958 01:53:40.319 --> 01:53:41.079 this will lead to. 1959 01:53:41.039 --> 01:53:45.359 Some sort of a shield weapons race, which it sounds 1960 01:53:45.359 --> 01:53:47.800 like it's good for the military industrial complex, which is 1961 01:53:47.840 --> 01:53:49.239 good for the money. 1962 01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:53.239 So I'm not mad at this at the moment, but 1963 01:53:53.279 --> 01:53:53.720 I find it. 1964 01:53:53.760 --> 01:53:55.760 I still find it interesting that China is the only 1965 01:53:55.800 --> 01:53:58.399 country that stepped up to say something negative against it. 1966 01:53:58.439 --> 01:54:01.199 So I don't know the tear if war got agreed 1967 01:54:01.239 --> 01:54:03.079 upon between the United States and China. 1968 01:54:03.159 --> 01:54:09.079 Correct if there's a ninety day pause where the tariff 1969 01:54:09.119 --> 01:54:11.039 got brought down from one hundred and forty five percent 1970 01:54:11.079 --> 01:54:14.800 to thirty percent and shipping traffic is being booked at 1971 01:54:14.920 --> 01:54:18.039 three hundred percent of normal because so many people are 1972 01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:20.079 trying to get stuff into the US right now. 1973 01:54:21.760 --> 01:54:24.359 Very true, So there's a pause on it right now. 1974 01:54:24.399 --> 01:54:28.199 But in your line of thinking, do you believe she 1975 01:54:28.479 --> 01:54:31.359 is going to come to the agreement table they're going 1976 01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:32.920 to be able to strike a deal here, or do 1977 01:54:33.000 --> 01:54:34.720 you think that it's going to become a pissing match 1978 01:54:34.760 --> 01:54:36.159 in a couple of months. 1979 01:54:36.880 --> 01:54:41.600 Well, I don't think Hijiping is going to budge, and 1980 01:54:41.800 --> 01:54:47.000 I think, well he might. He might budge just a 1981 01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:48.640 little bit, but most of the budget is going to 1982 01:54:48.680 --> 01:54:50.760 be on the US side, That's my opinion. 1983 01:54:52.640 --> 01:54:54.760 You mean like, oh, yeah, they're not gonna I doubt 1984 01:54:54.760 --> 01:54:56.880 they'll go back to one hundred and forty five percent 1985 01:54:57.279 --> 01:54:58.000 or whatever. 1986 01:54:57.720 --> 01:54:59.760 It is, or will go back. Yeah, we're not going 1987 01:54:59.840 --> 01:55:00.439 to go back. 1988 01:55:00.760 --> 01:55:01.000 Yeah. 1989 01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:02.600 I don't see that happening. 1990 01:55:02.640 --> 01:55:05.880 But I also don't know if America is going to 1991 01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:09.239 come down from thirty. I don't know. 1992 01:55:11.520 --> 01:55:14.800 I haven't paid enough attention, and this isn't my main issue, 1993 01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:20.840 but yeah, you know, I well, some of them were 1994 01:55:20.840 --> 01:55:23.319 in favor of high tariffs. The Confederacy was in favor 1995 01:55:23.359 --> 01:55:27.279 of lower tariffs. Tariffs almost provoked the secession of several 1996 01:55:27.319 --> 01:55:30.960 states before the Civil War, even decades before it. And 1997 01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:34.479 I don't believe tariffs made America great in the late 1998 01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:39.000 eighteen hundreds. But this is an almost religious topic for 1999 01:55:39.079 --> 01:55:42.039 some people who dogmatically believed that of course they did, 2000 01:55:42.119 --> 01:55:45.039 or of course they didn't, and I think they probably didn't. 2001 01:55:46.119 --> 01:55:48.279 I will say that we didn't have the IRS until 2002 01:55:48.279 --> 01:55:52.079 it was like nineteen thirteen or nineteen seventeen, whenever Wilson 2003 01:55:52.560 --> 01:55:53.800 repealed the. 2004 01:55:55.840 --> 01:55:57.920 When Wilson repealed. 2005 01:55:57.359 --> 01:56:02.279 The tariffs and implement into the IRS. And I'm not 2006 01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:05.239 saying that's the other thing too. We actually on the 2007 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:07.720 cult to Conspiracy. The episodes that are going to be 2008 01:56:07.800 --> 01:56:12.000 dropping soon for for everybody on Patreon, they've already seen them, 2009 01:56:12.319 --> 01:56:15.359 well two of the three anyway. 2010 01:56:14.319 --> 01:56:17.880 The Tavistock Institute, if. 2011 01:56:17.760 --> 01:56:20.439 We are to believe that rabbit hole in that trail 2012 01:56:20.520 --> 01:56:23.760 of thinking, are the reason why America pulled away from 2013 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:26.960 tariffs and implemented the irs. Up until that point, we 2014 01:56:27.039 --> 01:56:31.960 had no income tax and we were able to sustain 2015 01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:35.880 and operate pretty well. I would say that we entered 2016 01:56:35.920 --> 01:56:38.680 our golden age while tariffs were still in effect. Now 2017 01:56:39.039 --> 01:56:41.720 we went to peak golden age after World War Two. 2018 01:56:42.079 --> 01:56:44.199 There's a lot of reasons for that. We were the 2019 01:56:44.199 --> 01:56:46.239 only ones that weren't bombed the hell out of and 2020 01:56:46.279 --> 01:56:49.760 had all the manufacturing capabilities. I get that. But that 2021 01:56:49.920 --> 01:56:54.039 being said, I'm I'm in favor of tariffs. I don't 2022 01:56:54.039 --> 01:56:57.439 think that's going to save America. I think it could 2023 01:56:58.840 --> 01:57:03.399 potentially lessen the burden of the American taxpayer. But that 2024 01:57:03.720 --> 01:57:05.800 is kind of a double edged sword because that is 2025 01:57:05.880 --> 01:57:09.520 under the assumption that the politicians in power will start 2026 01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:14.560 to remove certain tax laws from the American working class. 2027 01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:18.399 I have a hard time believing that they won't just 2028 01:57:18.479 --> 01:57:22.159 double dip and make even more money. That's my only thing, 2029 01:57:22.199 --> 01:57:25.319 and in the process screw the middle class even further. 2030 01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:29.640 I have hopes, but I also am a bit of 2031 01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:33.039 a realist in certain regards to this too. Yeah. 2032 01:57:33.079 --> 01:57:35.520 Another major source of tax revenue way back in the 2033 01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:38.479 old days or the good old days, was alcohol, even 2034 01:57:38.520 --> 01:57:42.039 though there was a lot of alcoholism, but people were 2035 01:57:42.079 --> 01:57:45.119 not generally. The first tales tax only went into effect 2036 01:57:45.159 --> 01:57:47.760 in nineteen thirty five, and that didn't spread the most 2037 01:57:47.800 --> 01:57:51.640 states until a couple decades after that. Income taxes weren't 2038 01:57:51.680 --> 01:57:56.640 around until well, first Civil War, then something like nineteen thirteen, 2039 01:57:57.359 --> 01:57:59.960 and then they were really small back then. But it's 2040 01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:02.720 it's hard to overstate just how much taxation has changed 2041 01:58:02.760 --> 01:58:04.600 back then, and just how hard it would be to 2042 01:58:04.640 --> 01:58:08.199 go all the way back to that point, even though 2043 01:58:08.199 --> 01:58:11.199 the welfare state would be a lot smaller, and I 2044 01:58:11.239 --> 01:58:14.439 would totally welcome that. There was no payroll tax until 2045 01:58:14.520 --> 01:58:18.760 obviously nineteen thirty five, and it was only two percent 2046 01:58:19.079 --> 01:58:22.079 at that time, and now it's twelve point four percent 2047 01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:25.800 or fifteen point three depending if you include Medicaid. So 2048 01:58:26.039 --> 01:58:30.640 we're just really, we're so far down the path it's 2049 01:58:31.000 --> 01:58:33.119 too hard to go back, even though I wish we could. 2050 01:58:34.439 --> 01:58:37.199 I'm hoping that it's not too far, too like, too little, 2051 01:58:37.199 --> 01:58:41.079 too late. I'm hoping. I'm with you that I think 2052 01:58:41.119 --> 01:58:45.800 it's probably more of a foregone conclusion. I'm hoping that 2053 01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:49.439 I'm wrong, right. I'm hoping that people that are way 2054 01:58:49.479 --> 01:58:53.000 smarter as far as economics and numbers and money is concerned, 2055 01:58:53.479 --> 01:58:56.640 will be able to make this a reality that we 2056 01:58:56.720 --> 01:59:00.239 can benefit from and the next generations can benefit from 2057 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:03.439 as well. I just I have a hard time not 2058 01:59:03.479 --> 01:59:05.560 being a pessimist when it comes to stuff like this. 2059 01:59:05.680 --> 01:59:10.359 Everybody wants change until it's time for the change, and 2060 01:59:10.399 --> 01:59:12.520 then it's like, oh, just don't rock the boat. Just 2061 01:59:12.760 --> 01:59:15.239 don't do too much, don't do that. And I'm not 2062 01:59:15.279 --> 01:59:17.920 saying that that's going to or is not going to happen. 2063 01:59:17.960 --> 01:59:20.800 I just I have hopes, not a lot of them 2064 01:59:20.800 --> 01:59:23.640 at this point. I don't know. I don't know if 2065 01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:26.560 all these tariffs do come through to fruition as Trump 2066 01:59:26.600 --> 01:59:30.640 is hoping, and if they were. There was a thought 2067 01:59:30.680 --> 01:59:32.920 that was proposed a couple of weeks ago. I heard 2068 01:59:33.479 --> 01:59:35.800 anybody making under one hundred and fifty k a year 2069 01:59:35.920 --> 01:59:37.479 will have no more income tax. 2070 01:59:38.079 --> 01:59:40.000 That sounds great on the surface. 2071 01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:45.039 That's also the vast majority of the taxpayers, meaning that 2072 01:59:45.039 --> 01:59:48.279 that is a lot of revenue being lost by Uncle Sam. 2073 01:59:49.359 --> 01:59:52.840 I don't know how they plan on tariffs replacing that 2074 01:59:53.000 --> 01:59:57.079 hard of a hit. Is it possible, Probably, but I 2075 01:59:57.119 --> 02:00:00.159 am not smart enough or wise enough to understand and 2076 02:00:00.239 --> 02:00:03.000 how that would work to that scale. Now, the other 2077 02:00:03.039 --> 02:00:05.960 side of that, and I have heard many economists say this, 2078 02:00:06.560 --> 02:00:09.760 if you were to do away with all income tax 2079 02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:16.079 just hypothetical, right right now, all income taxes are gone, 2080 02:00:16.159 --> 02:00:19.039 and you instead put a fifteen percent sales tax on 2081 02:00:19.239 --> 02:00:23.960 every single thing car, house, gas, milk, and bread, doesn't matter. 2082 02:00:24.439 --> 02:00:27.039 Everything has a fifteen percent tax on it. Five percent 2083 02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:29.520 goes to the state, ten percent goes to the nation 2084 02:00:30.079 --> 02:00:32.760 or to the federal. I should say we would actually 2085 02:00:32.800 --> 02:00:35.920 have more revenue at the end of the year to 2086 02:00:36.159 --> 02:00:39.159 do things with, but I know there's a lot of 2087 02:00:39.159 --> 02:00:41.640 people that will have an issue with that one as well. 2088 02:00:41.920 --> 02:00:46.199 It's by the numbers that also works, But we're talking 2089 02:00:46.279 --> 02:00:49.960 about completely dissolving the irs and our entire tax system, 2090 02:00:50.000 --> 02:00:53.359 which is massive. So it's one of those things that's 2091 02:00:53.359 --> 02:00:55.039 like it's a great idea, but I just don't ever 2092 02:00:55.079 --> 02:00:59.039 see it happening. I don't know. I don't know, all right, everybody, 2093 02:00:59.079 --> 02:01:01.359 I think we are going to wrap up this episode 2094 02:01:01.439 --> 02:01:03.640 of The Cajun Night Live.
