There also some really amazing excuses for why 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: they've been unable to supposedly unable to retrieve any of 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: the debris, So we'll break all of that down for you. 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: Also some warnings to Americans who are in Russia that 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: they need to get out and get out now. Why 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: is this coming at this moment? We will take a 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: look at that.

We also have 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Jeremy Corbel in the show to talk about what is 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: going on with these UFOs as well and breaking this morning. 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: Get excited, guys. Nikki Haley has officially launched for President 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: Saga and I are going to take a look at 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: her announcement video React Live for your ful reaction. People 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: made fun of us for saying twenty twenty four is 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: fully upon us. What did I try to tell you? 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: We tried to tell you all right, like fourteen, Yeah, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: exactly it is here. Let's start with UFOs, my personal 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: favorite topic. Extraordinary conference yesterday at the White House with 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: the Press Secretary of Carein Jean Pierre opening up the 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: actual address to the press and saying that there is 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: no evidence of extraterrestrial life. Then you had John Kirby, 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: the National Security spokesperson for the White House and for 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: the Pentagon take the podium and deliver some more details 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: about these three UFO incidents. Let's take a listen fully 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: to what they said. There is no again, no indication 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: these recent takedowns. Wanted to make sure that the American 47 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: people knew that. All of you knew that, and it 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: was important for us to say that from here because 49 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: we've been hearing a lot about it. I'm not I'm 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: just you know, I loved ET the movie, but I'm 51 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: just gonna leave it there. In light of the Chinese 52 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: balloon program and this recent incursion into our airspace, the 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: United States and Canada through NORD have been more closely 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: scrutinizing that airspace, including enhancing our radar capabilities, which, as 55 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: the commander of northcomon NORD, General Van Herk said just 56 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: last night, may at least partially explain the increase and 57 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: the objects that have been detected. There are no active 58 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: tracks today, but the professionals at NORD will continue to 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: do their important work. We don't know what this exactly 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: looked like. And again we're still not sure exactly what 61 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the purpose of it was or who owned it, but 62 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: we hope to be able to find out more once 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: we can recover the debrief from that one and from 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: the other two as well. A couple of things that 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: we could take away from that. Number one, I'm just 66 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: disgusted by my former colleagues in the press who are 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: laughing at this, and it's like, look, yeah, I get 68 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: that it sounds extraordinary, but shooting down three things for 69 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: the first time in US history over US airspace is 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: also extraordinary. Your job is to not laugh, but make 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: it seriously at the very least, just you know, do 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: your job. Maybe a follow up question, maybe ask the 73 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: questions we have seen. If you'll remember Crystal, the very 74 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: first UFO report that came out, the press spun it 75 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: as government finds no evidence of aliens. But you read 76 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: it and it's like, yeah, but they didn't find any 77 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: evidence that it's not. The evidence is they have no 78 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: idea what's going on, And as you listen throughout that 79 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: entire briefing, you're like, oh, they still have no clue. 80 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: It's been more than seventy two hours now since the 81 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: first UFO was shot down. We have no debris recovery, 82 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: no update on debris recovery. Yeah, allegedly, And we're going 83 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: to get into some of that. And one of the 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: reasons why is we've seen a flurry of leaks that 85 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: have come out where you have Pentagon Canadian officials specifically, 86 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: and the Pentagon who's having a briefing today actually just 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: a couple of hours from when we're talking around right 88 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: now with all us senators. It's a classified briefing. The 89 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: memo of that briefing has gone ahead and leaked, and 90 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: what they say is they will they believe, at least 91 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: in the Canadian instance, it was a small metallic balloon. 92 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: So first of all, what does metallic balloon mean? Second, 93 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: what basis do you have for that information? But when 94 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: you read deeper the debris recovery efforts in all three 95 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: of these cases, they are setting it up to look 96 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: extraordinarily unlikely. And one of the other reasons why we 97 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: should be skeptical at least of this initial explanation. Again, 98 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think it probably is likely balloons, 99 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: but we can't just take them at their word for it. 100 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: We have to go back to the original briefing of 101 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the NORAD commander that was during the Super Bowl, where 102 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: he very specifically laid out I am not calling them 103 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: balloons for a reason. I am calling them objects, and 104 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: it was based on the initial description of these objects 105 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: from the pilots themselves. Just take a listen to what 106 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: he said. Then, I'm not going to categorize them as balloons. 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: We're calling them objects for a reason. Certainly the event 108 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: off the South Carolina coasts for the Chinese spy balloon, 109 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: that was clearly a balloon. These are objects. I am 110 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could 111 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: be a gaseous type of balloon side of structure, or 112 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: it could be some type of a propulsion system. But 113 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: clearly they're able to stay aloft. I would be hesitant 114 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: to urge you not to attribute it to any specific country. 115 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: We don't know. This is the big divide where we 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: have here, this nora AD commander. He is the one who, frankly, 117 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: has been the most honest. He was like, look, I'm 118 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: not ruling out anything whenever it comes to aliens. He 119 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: goes number one, number two, I'm not calling them balloons 120 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: for a reason. People in a more classified setting have 121 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: been trying to say that. But what we are watching 122 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: right now is a concerted effort and all three debris 123 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: recovery efforts to set the stage where they're like, look, 124 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: it's likely that we'll just never get them. So my 125 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: personal favorite, which you found, was put us up there 126 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: on the screen from the Detroit News representative Alissa Slopkin, 127 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: who is a former CIA spook, just so you all know, 128 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: she says that the shotdown object is likely in very 129 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: deep water. And actually they change that headline because originally 130 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: they said, well, the recovery of the shotdown an object 131 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: in Lake Huron is hampered by quote choppy waters. Now 132 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I did go ahead and check because it did sound 133 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: pretty incredulous to me. There were some choppy waves out 134 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: there on the lake yesterday. But they're keep changing their story. 135 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: First it was, oh, well, the weather is bad in 136 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Alaska and the Yukon. Okay, you know that's reasonable, you 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: know it's the winter, et cetera. But then all of 138 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: us are checking the weather over Lake Huron. It's like 139 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: forty eight degrees and sunny. So we're like, okay, well, 140 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: are you gonna go out and get there? No? No, 141 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: now it's choppy waters. Like okay, now what so what 142 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: about when the weather's not or when the water's not choppy. 143 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, but now it's a very very deep 144 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: it's a deep water. You're like, oh, I was aware. 145 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I was under the impression that we spent eight hundred 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: billion dollars a year on the US military and that 147 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: you know that in the nineteen like sixties that we've 148 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: literally floated up Russian submarines with Howard Hughes Like, I 149 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: was just under, you know, the impression that we were 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: a competent nation. Excuse me, excuse me dealing with choppy water. 151 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Choppy water. Okay, maybe now here's the other thing. I 152 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: read even deeper Crystal and the Canadian officials are now 153 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. So get this. The Canadian Defense 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Ministry put out a background statement last night and they 155 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: were like, hey, look, you got to prepare yourself for 156 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: we're never going to find this thing in the Yukon. 157 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, okay, why and they're like, well, 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: the search radius is three thousand miles wide. Yeah, I agree. 159 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: We shot it down, and we know where we shot 160 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: it down could really have drifted three thousand miles. Okay, 161 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: let's say, you know, what do we learned after nine 162 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: to eleven, You know, with the whole when people were 163 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: looking at the debris radius in terms of a couple 164 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: hundred miles of reasonable but three thousand, why exactly is 165 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: it three thousand? No, we know exactly when it went down. 166 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: And you know, once again, like I was under the impression, 167 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: excuse me, of a very sophisticated military equipment which is 168 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: capable of putting a hellfire missile literally in the passenger 169 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: side of a car, something I've literally seen happen from 170 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: my days of covering the defense industry. So for you know, 171 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: that begs a little bit believe. But sec first of all, 172 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: same thing he goes, you should prepare yourself for we 173 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: may never find it. And then on the Alaska UFO, 174 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: it's the exact same thing. The weather is bad. I 175 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: checked the weather is it's like freezing temperature in the 176 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: Ileutian Islands. It's like thirty three degrees. It has been snowing, 177 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, undeniably like lower light conditions. Sure, but no, 178 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: once again, we do have military assets to fly up 179 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: there all the time. And you know, once like, don't 180 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: we have unmanned assets, like can't you go and snap 181 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: a picture with the Chinese balloon? We had a video 182 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: of it happening in the sky. Number one, Number two, 183 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: within two hours, you had a video of people literally 184 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: pulling it up. Already, DoD has released even more of 185 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: what has come out from the Chinese balloon of navy 186 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: divers and others who are recovering some of this. In 187 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: all three now of the UFO cases, they say, no, 188 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: they're preparing the ground for we're never going to find it. 189 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Then they want you to forget about it. I honestly 190 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: think that's what's happening. That's it. They want you to 191 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: run out the clock so that people move on to 192 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: whatever is next, and we forget about the fact that 193 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if it was one you know, the 194 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: one over the Aleutian Islands or whatever, and they're like, listen, 195 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: it's tough out there. Okay, maybe, but all three after 196 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: we literally just saw you have no trouble whatsoever getting 197 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: the Chinese buy balloon. Like I'm sorry, I just don't 198 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: believe it. I just don't believe it. The idea And listen, 199 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: I saw because you tweeted about the Alyssa's loot. Kids 200 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: tell me hotering, and I saw kinds of people blow 201 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: like you don't get it, like here on it really 202 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: does get crazy. On there's like, okay, I believe you, 203 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: but also really the United States military is unable to 204 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: deal with choppy waters. I I just don't buy it. 205 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: I do not buy it. So I also think it's 206 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: interesting that the one piece of information that they did 207 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: allow to leak out, and make no mistake about it, 208 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: it was allowed to leak out, is the piece from 209 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: this memo about what they think the one over Alaska 210 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: ultimately was, which is like the most like everybody calmed down, 211 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: it's just another balloon, nothing to see here. But again, 212 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: if they knew these were all balloons, if they had 213 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: specific information about what was going on here and it was, 214 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, nothing really to see here, some corporate balloon 215 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: or whatever, which is something that they've floated that like 216 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: some it could be some corporate company balloon or then 217 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: why didn't the company come out and say it, Yeah, 218 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: then I mean they would tell us that if it 219 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: was something that was as little or as insignificant as that. Ultimately, 220 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: so I don't know what's going on, but I definitely 221 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: know that we are not getting the full story of 222 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: what they know and what they've been able to accomplish. 223 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: It not even close. And let's put this up there 224 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: on the screen for the next one. You know, we 225 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: already have here x Norad commanders saying the UFOs are 226 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: a quote concerted effort to test out outdated systems. He 227 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,119 Speaker 1: might be right, but the more important one is the headline. 228 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: We still have not recovered any debris from the three 229 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: that were shot down over the weekend, and the Secretary 230 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: of Defense, Lloyd Austin, actually talked about that on a trip. 231 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: The audio is a little weird because he was speaking 232 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: right outside of an airplane, but we're going to play 233 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: it for you. Let's go and take a listen. Because 234 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: we've not been able to definitively assess what these recent 235 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: objects are. We've act that out of an abundance of 236 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: caution to protect the our security and interest. That's why 237 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: we have teams working hard to track down the debris 238 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: from over the weekend. Got teams working hard, but we 239 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: still haven't been able to do it. Okay, maybe, and 240 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, some of the stuff that's coming out about 241 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: these initial encounters are pretty crazy, let's go ahead and 242 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: put this up there on the screen. So last night 243 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: it broke from Lucas Tomlinson. He's a great Pentagon reporter. 244 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: I remember him for my days there. He says, quote, 245 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: the US Air Force F sixteen that shot down the 246 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: unknown object over lake here on yesterday missed on its 247 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: first attempt. It's not clear where the first missile landed. 248 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: A second sidewinder air to air missile was needed. Each 249 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Sidewinder AIM nine X costs over four hundred thousand dollars. 250 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: So I asked some of my aviation geek friends about this, 251 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: and there are a couple of things that we can learn. 252 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: Number one is the indication of using this missile means 253 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: that the actual object had a heat signature, because apparently 254 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: it can't lock on unless there's heats signature. Second, though 255 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: they don't miss That's why we spend four hundred grand 256 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: a missile on them. Do you believe have a heat signature? 257 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. So that was one of these I said, Well, 258 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: they said depends if a propulsion system except okay, maybe 259 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: that one was totally unclear, But really to me was well, 260 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: did it have the ability to maneuver away? From it, 261 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: like did it dodge it? I mean, the whole point 262 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: is we spend the equivalent of a house per missile, 263 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: and we have one hundred and ten thousand of these 264 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: missiles in our arsenal. By the way, why do we 265 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: have them? Because they're very accurate. They go all the 266 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: way back I believe until the nineteen fifties that we 267 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: keep engineering for it's considered like the gold standard for 268 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: the US Air Force. And specifically the fact that they 269 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: missed a lot of people were raising questions about that. 270 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: They're like, wait, does that mean that? First of all, 271 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: we remember that some of the pilots had talked about 272 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: how the sensors were jammed. I don't know if people 273 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: know this, but actively jamming radar is an act of 274 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: war under our rules of engagement. So that means if 275 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: that's what happened they said sensors and yes, necessarily use 276 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: the word radar. But I am taking a lot of 277 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: interest here in these pilots. I looked it up. We 278 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: spent six million dollars just to train the pilot. The 279 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: aircraft itself, who knows, I mean tens of millions of 280 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: dollars the aircraft is it costs thirty thousand dollars per 281 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: flight hour and four hundred thousand per missile, Like these 282 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: are sophisticated pieces of military equipment, and they don't miss 283 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: all that often, specifically for this reason. So that's pretty extraordinary. 284 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: It's extraordinary that it missed. Could be human error, I 285 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: mean could be, although you know, I think we spend 286 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: house per missiles so that you don't have human error 287 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: in these situations. All you really have to do is 288 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: lock on and press a button. But I guess it 289 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: technically could have been a misfire. But then why are 290 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: we spending four hundred thousand dollars missile anyway, So I 291 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of questions about this one. I mean, 292 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: I guess if I was going to try to get 293 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: into like you know, what the excuse could be. I 294 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: remember before the Chinese by balloon was shot down, there 295 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: was a lot of analysis of like, actually it's more complicated, 296 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: like take down a balloon. You think it is because 297 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: of the altitude and because it's a different size or whatever. 298 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Show maybe it's because these aren't designed to take down balloons. 299 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: That's maybe possible. But this whole portrait is either one 300 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: of a gigantic cover up or just like an embarrassing 301 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: display of mass incompetence and like revealing how you know, 302 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: before Russia invaded Ukraine, are just like, oh my god, 303 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: the Russian military whatever. And then once they did invade Ukraine, 304 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this isn't all that. It was really 305 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: correct up to be getting some of those vibes here. 306 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: It's either, like I said, either there's a lot that 307 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: we're not being told, which I think is very possible, 308 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: if not likely, or we are much less competent than 309 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: what we think and what we ultimately portray to the world. 310 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: It's one of those two things going on here. And 311 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: by the way, combination of both. Yeah, that's true, too 312 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: thin of both. I mean, one thing I know is 313 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: that we are being spun as much as possible, and 314 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: they are Look, without a doubt, I read you those 315 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: three separate quotes that they gave about debris recovery. They 316 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: are setting it up so that it'll either be weeks 317 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: before you get something or they're just gonna say that 318 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: we never found anything at all. My entire monologue today, 319 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: by the way, is about the history of UFO cover ups, 320 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: about Roswell and all that, and exactly why I am 321 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: so skeptical in all of this, because the longer you 322 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: wait and the longer you you know, have for them 323 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to possibly fabricate evidence, come up with a new story 324 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: and all that, it's just like the early days of 325 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: many of the UFO. I wonder, you know how the 326 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: explanation is, like, Okay, after the Chinese by balloon, then 327 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: we recalibrated the radars so are more sensitive, and we're 328 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: like looking at these higher altitudes, et cetera, and looking 329 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: for things that are as small as a car. I 330 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: wonder if they're going to recalibrate them so that they 331 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: can just pretend like none of this is happening again, 332 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, we're good. Have the whole point. That's 333 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: exactly what you know you A few people have been 334 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: saying this whole time. They're like, you have no idea 335 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: what's up there because you're not looking for it. It's 336 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: like the you know there. I was reminded of the 337 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: scene from The Hunt for Red October where there's the 338 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: new submarine and the sonar system doesn't know how to 339 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: code the submarine. They're like calling it deep sea noises 340 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: because they'd never heard the noise before. So how is 341 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: your equipment is only as good as you know to 342 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: what to look for. If you're not looking for anything, 343 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: then you can say that you've never seen anything before. 344 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: And then luckily they had human ingenuity as that character 345 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: in the movie Jonesy, great character who was like, no, 346 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: there's actually something else going on here. Well, we've had 347 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: that now, we've read multiple Jonesy's and pilots and Ryan 348 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: Grays and David Fraber and many others. A tic Tac Pilots. Well, 349 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: I believe he's on TV last night. All of these 350 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: people are the highly sophisticated warfighters, people who've flown thousands 351 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: and thousands of hours. Like you really, as Tom Rogan said, 352 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: if you believe that they're mentally unsound to make up 353 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: a UFO story, why did we leave them in charge 354 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: of these highly expensive, multi hundred million dollar aircraft in 355 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: charge of supporting US troops and bombing enemy Tartans. Completely 356 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: incredulous for us to believe that. I think the last 357 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: thing that I would to say on this this morning 358 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: is there's a lot of discussion of like, is this 359 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: sosia to distract from something else, Traine derailment or whatever Ukraine, 360 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: who knows. And the reason I don't think so is 361 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: because I don't think they would do something that was 362 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: like so embarrassing for it, Like this does not look 363 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: good for them. They're not enjoying this, Like it's humiliating 364 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: they're having to pretend or potentially like I guess be 365 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: honest about but I don't really buy it that they 366 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: can't even get the debris from these things. And I 367 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on, Like this has not 368 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: been a good look for anyone in charge of the 369 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: military or in this administration. So yeah, I think it's 370 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: in competence. I think that the media would be happy 371 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: to ignore the trained derailment and any other number of stories. 372 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: They do it all the time without needing some like 373 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: giant UFO type sy up. So that's why I'm really 374 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: not sort of buying that explanation for what's going on. Yeah, look, 375 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: I personally think the most mid take on the internet 376 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: is that this is all a syeop and it's largely because, 377 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: as you said, like they hate that they have to 378 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: do this, and by the way, they're going out of 379 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: their way to try and keep it out of the 380 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: news as possible to keep everybody calm down, which is all. 381 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: It fits very well with UFO history, of which I'll 382 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: get into, So we'll leave it at that. Yeah, that's right, 383 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: we'll leave it at that. But let's just say all 384 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: of this is straight out of the playbook. Let's go 385 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: ahead and move on to Ukraine. Some crazy news yesterday 386 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: still I really don't know yet what to make of, 387 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: but significant. Let's put this up there on the screen. 388 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: The US Embassy issued a flash to all American citizens 389 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: in Russia with pretty stark language, quote, do not travel 390 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: to Russia due to unpredictable consequences of the Russian invasion 391 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: of Ukraine. US citizens who live or travel in Russia 392 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: must immediately leave the country. I think one of the 393 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: extraordinary things about this advisory is not we advise US 394 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: citizens to leave, It says must immediately leave the country. 395 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: That's one of the most stark warnings that I've ever 396 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: seen from a US embassy and from a US consulate. 397 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: And what was really crazy is that it was done 398 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: in conjunction with a couple of other nations. Go and 399 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: put the next one up there on the screen. The 400 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: French did not go as far as we did, but 401 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: they said, quote France strongly urges its citizens to leave 402 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: Russia if their presence is quote non essential after the 403 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: invasion of Ukraine. The weird thing about this is that 404 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: the invasion happened a year ago, so why are we 405 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: urging them to leave right now. So there's a couple 406 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: of indications of things that I've seen. Number one was 407 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: that they possibly have received intelligence. Brazil also joined in 408 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: on this, by the way, so you got France, Brazil 409 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: in the US. So maybe they received indications that the 410 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: Russian government, you know, after the whole Britney grinder situation, 411 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: was looking to take more hostages possible. But you know, 412 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't know why things would speed up now. Number 413 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: two is maybe we're about to go do something there 414 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: that might cause them to crack down or Ukrainian friends. Right. 415 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: Did not escape me that the US and France or 416 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: two the nations that actually are two nations that manufacture 417 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: fighter jets. So yeah, that's not That's one that I'm 418 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily putting away. The other one is just that 419 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: the intelligence said is that a major Russian offensive is 420 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: about to kick off, of which we brought everybody yesterday, 421 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: and that in conjunction with that they anticipate retaliation against 422 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 1: American citizens, possibly also civil unrest because we could have 423 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: Russia possibly moving to a second draft. I'm not saying 424 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: that's what's happening. I'm saying that these are all the 425 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: initial speculations that I've seen. But I mean, you know, 426 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: they don't just say this every day, yeah, which is 427 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: you must leave the country. I mean, I've never seen 428 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: a country advisory like that. Yeah, I mean, we don't 429 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: know what it means. Is just worth taking note of. 430 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: And the things that we do know is it is 431 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: widely expected that Russia is planning to mount a major 432 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: offensive before Ukraine gets their hands on tanks, and as 433 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, spring starts to arrive in Ukraine, we know 434 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: that Russian shelling has actually ticked up up already. There's 435 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: some speculation that that offensive has already begun, so you know, 436 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: the expectation is and there's a reason also why Zelenski 437 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: has taken this time to go to travel around to 438 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: Western allies and ask for fighter jets in particular and 439 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: longer arranged missiles, and to secure the tanks that have 440 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: already been promised. So clearly there is an expectation that 441 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: some major offensives are coming now, and maybe this relates 442 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: to that. Maybe this is about something else. There's no 443 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: way to know before it all unfolds. Yeah, look, there's 444 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: just it's an extraordinary situation. I think that that's probably 445 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: where we'll leave it. Let's put this up there on 446 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: the screen, and this could have some indication of it, 447 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: which is that if you'll remember that city of Bakhmud, 448 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: where President Zelenski visited and liberated right before he came 449 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: to the United States and famously brought the flag of 450 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: liberation to the floor of the US Congress. Well, Ukraine 451 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: actually just told AID groups yesterday USAD groups specifically, you 452 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: need to leave. Nobody knows what that might mean, but 453 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: it is likely a prelude to Ukrainian withdrawal. So AID 454 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: groups and civilians are no longer allowed to enter the city. 455 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: As of Monday, the military said that the fighting is 456 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: continuing to intensify the strategic city in eastern Ukraine, of 457 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: which the Russians are expected to mount an offensive on. 458 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: They said that the reason they wouldn't allow it was 459 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: because of the danger that's going to be posed by 460 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: street fighting and the ban on volunteer access has been 461 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: in the past a pre lead to Ukrainian withdrawal. Ukrainian 462 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: military sets No, we have retained control of the city. 463 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: We can resupplier troops, we can evacuate our wounded, but 464 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: well it's a precarious situation. Nonetheless, at the very least 465 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: it is being contested, right Crystal. So that's what we 466 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: can that's what we can surmise. I think the message 467 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: which really underscores the fact that this war unfortunately has 468 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: a long way to go, and the fact that Ukraine 469 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: you know, really unperformed expectations and you know, had a 470 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: stunningly successful performance in the spring and summer offensive. No 471 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: guarantees for the future. Russia has had time now to 472 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: incorporate those hundreds of thousands of troops that they called 473 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: up before and send them into the front lines, and 474 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: so you know, there's a fear that the dynamics could 475 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: ultimately be shifting in real time right now. Yeah. Absolutely, 476 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: Let's go to the second part here. It's pretty interesting. 477 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: Let's put this up there on the screen. This has 478 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: to do with Ukraine and its dealings with American financial institutions. 479 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: So here the headline is that Ukraine plots post war 480 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: rebuilding effort with JP Morgan Chase as Is Advisors. So 481 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: JP Morgan yesterday in a deal with the country of Ukraine, 482 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: said that it is going to tap its debt, capital 483 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: market operations, payments, and commercial banking, infrastructure investing expertise to 484 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: help the country stabilize its economy and credit rating, manage 485 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: its funds, and advance its digital adoption whatever that means. 486 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: What it really means, though, is that JP Morgan is 487 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: going to work with Ukraine to raise private investment to 488 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: help rebuild and invest for future growth in Ukraine, including 489 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: quote renewable energy, agriculture and technology. So outside of the 490 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: initial things that they say, the reason why I think 491 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: it's important is that these major walls, street banks, they 492 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: are seeing some real profit opportunity here in Ukraine. I mean, 493 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, this is a it's really disgusting to see. 494 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: But of course, you know, whenever you knockohole city down 495 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: after the war, somebody's got to rebuild it, somebody's got 496 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: to finance it. And it's not just the US government 497 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: that's getting in on this. Also, Zelenski clearly sees this 498 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: as a critical avenue. Not only would JP Morgan just 499 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: yesterday he met with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund 500 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: to secure even more loans to the Ukrainian government. Right now, 501 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: Jamie Diamond is saying that the Bank has led a 502 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: twenty billion dollar debt restructure for Ukraine last year and 503 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: has committed millions of dollars of support for Ukrainian refugees. 504 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: But the reason why this is the prelude to possibly 505 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: something much grosser and much more nefarious. Let's put this 506 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: next one up there on the screen, is that we 507 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: had a previous one we were going to cover back 508 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: in December, but it fits with this very importantly. Zelenski 509 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: announced an alliance with Blackrock for reconstruction of Ukraine. Now 510 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: that Blackrock Reconstruction was signed back in December with the 511 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: CEO Larry Fink. Blackrock said that rebuilding Ukraine could take 512 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: Crystal between seven to eight hundred billion dollars, and they're 513 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: pointing specifically to the new partnership where they will advise 514 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian government on how to structure the country's reconstruction funds. 515 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: So you could see and opera, this is Iraq and 516 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: Afghanistan levels of graft if they want it to be. 517 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting their little hands in this one. 518 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: I love the way they paint it, like their restructure. 519 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna help them raise Well, what's your fee? And 520 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: also the reason why this matters to all of us is, look, Ukraine, 521 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want, but here's the deal. 522 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: They don't have a real economy. We're the ones who 523 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: are paying all their bills. We're the ones who are 524 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: going to guarantee all of their debt. We are literally 525 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: running their central bank and paying of they're balancing their 526 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: budgets right now. We out American taxpayers will be the 527 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: ones who are basically guaranteeing much of this debt. And 528 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: how much money are they gonna make well off of 529 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: all of these guarantees and these private investors they're guarantee 530 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: in my company, Ukraine government that is a de facto 531 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: bet on the United States government. So we're basically facilitating 532 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: a massive wealth transfer. Well, yeah, there's a lot going 533 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: on here. Western capital has been circling Ukraine like vultures 534 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: for years now. Even before this war, Ukraine already had 535 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot of debt with IMF. The IMF, of course, 536 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: is like a tool of imposing you know, a shock 537 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: doctrine and has already forced a bunch of changes to 538 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: open up the economy so that Western capital could come 539 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: in and profit off of their agriculture sector as one 540 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: key example here, because Ukraine, of course known as the 541 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: bread basket of Europe and of the region. Ukraine is 542 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: a country that you know, suffered almost more than any 543 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: in struggled after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So 544 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: there's long been a push to okay, any state owned 545 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: enterprise is they need to be privatized. We need to 546 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: open up markets to Western capital. So this is a 547 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: more accelerated, more aggressive push in the same direction that 548 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: they have been pushing for a long time to impose 549 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: basically like neoliberal shock doctrine of the sort that we 550 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: have imposed in lots of places around the world. Zelenski 551 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: actually gave a speech back at the end of January 552 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: to the US National Association of State Chambers where he 553 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: talked some about this approach and encouraging banks like Goldman, 554 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: Sacks and JP Morgan to come and be part of 555 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: this effort. He said, is already clear this will be 556 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: the largest economic project of our time in Europe. It's 557 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: obvious that American business can become the locomotive that will 558 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: once again push forward global economic growth. He went on 559 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: to thank investment firms black Rock, Goldmen Sacks and JP Morgan. 560 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: He says, and everyone can become a big business by 561 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: working with Ukraine and all sectors from weapons and defense 562 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: to construction, from communications to agriculture, from transport to it, 563 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: from banks to medicine. And I invite you to work 564 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: with us right now. I think it's always important to 565 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: keep an eye on the people who are profiting from 566 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: a war and from disaster, and very clearly here the 567 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: Titans of Wall Street are getting their hooks into Ukraine 568 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: and hoping to make a big profit on the other 569 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: side of this. And it's disgusting to watch it unfold. Yeah, 570 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: it really is the whole thing. Look, we're going to 571 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: watch it closely. Indeed, all right, something else we've been 572 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: keeping a close eye on is what the hell is 573 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: going on with that train to railment in Ohio. We 574 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: have some big updates for you there. But this morning 575 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: we woke up to the news that there is another 576 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: train with some toxic chemicals which derailed in Houston. They 577 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: are actively monitoring the air quality go ahead and put 578 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: we have some images here we can put up on 579 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: the screen for those of you who are just listening, 580 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: I'll describe it. You can see a number of cars 581 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: of this train that have derailed off the tracks right 582 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: next to some sort of a major interstate highway there 583 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: that you can see. You've got a closer in look 584 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: of these cars that have come off the tracks. Now 585 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: this morning, we have some news about exactly what happened here. 586 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: It does appear to be a somewhat different situation than 587 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: what unfolded in Ohio. Specifically, local news are reporting that 588 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: a truck driver died and several freight train cars were 589 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: derailed during a Monday morning collision northeast of Houston. That 590 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: crash was between an eighteen wheeler and a Union Pacific train, 591 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: and twenty one train cars were derailed, and a hazardous 592 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: materials team from Union Pacific was on site and monitoring 593 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: air quality as a precaution. A spokesperson for the railway 594 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: Union Pacific confirmed that its has met crews were on 595 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: the site and estimated that a hunter gallons of diesel 596 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: fuel were released by the truck that was involved in 597 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: the crash, and they say, from what we're being told 598 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: and shown, there's no major chemicals to be concerned about. 599 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: More so household chemicals on board for retail purposes. Not 600 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: a large quantity from what we're being told. But keep 601 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: in mind is the corporate line of what is going 602 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: on with that trade to railmen, and they are apparently 603 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: do have hasmat response on the scene monitoring air quality. 604 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: So that's what we know about that one. We will 605 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. But going moving to Ohio, 606 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: this is I would say it's astonishing. It's really just 607 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: par for the course. Pie Footagic is the Secretary of Transportation. Now, 608 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: he wanted this job. He didn't want to be he 609 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: was offered some other show. This was the job he 610 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: wanted because he thought it would be prestigious and easy 611 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: and could just fly around ribbon cutting ceremonies talking about infrastructure. 612 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: It has turned out to be one of the most 613 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: critical jobs in the entire country. Now, if you were 614 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, if he was the man he presents himself as, 615 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: this would be an opportunity to rise to the occasion. 616 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: Demonstrates the American people, his competence, his concern his care 617 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: for supply chains for rail lines, for airline passengers. But 618 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: instead he doesn't do any of that. I mean, he 619 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: seems to be number one, thoroughly incompetent, two completely asleep 620 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: at the switch. So again part of the course, he 621 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: was speaking at the National Association of Counties, supposed to 622 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: be touting their infrastructure project, which again is the only 623 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: thing he really cares about because it doesn't require him 624 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: to do anything, just like you know, trot around the 625 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: country like some little celebrity. Says nothing, nothing in this 626 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: speech about this massive ecological catastrophe that is unfolding in 627 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. Instead, this is what he has 628 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: to talk about. To work with your contractors, to work 629 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: with your community colleges on building a workforce that reflects 630 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: the community. We have heard way too many stories from 631 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: generations past of infrastructure where he got a neighborhood, often 632 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come 633 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that 634 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: project looking like you know, doing the good paying jobs 635 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood. 636 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: You can build community wealth that will help close wealth 637 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: gout gaps in this country if we can tear down 638 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: those barriers. But that happens at the delivery level. Yeah, 639 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: that's what this guy is focused on about workplace diversity. 640 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: When there's a goddamn trained de world and toxic chemicals 641 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: that are being speak out into the public, you just 642 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: what you can just see so clearly, Like he did 643 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: really poorly at his presidential campaign with anyone who was 644 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't do that well overall, but he 645 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: did pretty well with white people and nobody else. Okay, 646 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: he got like what one percent of the black vote 647 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: in South Carolina. It was a pathetic performance and he 648 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: has no idea how to actually appeal to people, so 649 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: he thinks this is the way to further his presidential ambitions, 650 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: rather than actually deal with the very real problems that 651 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: are in his portfolio that he is supposed to be 652 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: focused on. Guess what, I'm sure there are some black 653 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: folks in Ohio who are concerned about this trained derailment. 654 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: More to the point, everybody in America would like to 655 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: see you actually do your job and deliver for the 656 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: people who are relying on you to deliver for them. 657 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: So that's pete. Meanwhile, we are getting more details about 658 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 1: exactly what is going on in Ohio, and it's quite scary, 659 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: you know, we've been talking about the fact. So this 660 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: train derailed. There was a lot of corporate malfeasance and 661 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: corruption that basically went into creating the conditions of this derailment. 662 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: So that's story number one. We had a great guest 663 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: on yesterday who talked about that. But as this is 664 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: all unfolding, you know, the residents of East Palestine have 665 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: been given the all clear. Everything's fine. You can go 666 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: about your business, go back to your homes. This is 667 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: no problem. We took care of it. But the reports 668 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: from on the ground are quite different. And local news 669 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: had a hazardous material expert on who is warning about 670 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: the potential effects of what was released here in some 671 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: pretty stark terms. Let's take a listen to what he 672 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: had to say. Basically, nuke to town with chemicals so 673 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: we could get a road open. The US Environmental Protection 674 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: Agency sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating that evelene 675 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: glico monobutle ether at the Lexo acrile and isobuteline. We're 676 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: also in the railcars that were derailed, breached or on fire. 677 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: So he says there, we basically nuked a town with 678 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: chemicals so we could get a railroad open and goes 679 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: on to express concern about future cancer clusters, which given 680 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: that what was released here in this controlled, controlled release 681 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: was is a known carcinogen. So meanwhile, on the ground, 682 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: you know, we're lucky to have a couple partners have 683 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: done great reporting here. Lever News has done some of 684 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: the best reporting about the corruption that the and the 685 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: greed that led to the situation to start with, and 686 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: Status KU has been on the ground interviewing residents. Jordan 687 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: Sheridan of Status qu talked to a fox keeper who 688 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: had one of his foxes died and others of them 689 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: clearly visibly ill after the release of these toxic chemicals. 690 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to what he had to say. 691 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: So that they've tested the blood levels and there's raised 692 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: liver enzymes, and the chloride levels in the blood are 693 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: on the high end of normal, and the lung are inflamed. 694 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: There's the eye irritation, and there is neurological issues going on, 695 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: which is also things that happened from the chloride vinyl 696 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: chloride exposure. And I have others that also have neurological 697 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: issues that they're not themselves at all from it. And 698 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm really worried, and just to give you a sense, 699 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: this isn't cherry picked. There are a lot of reports 700 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: coming from locals who are there on the ground. This 701 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: one was on TikTok, someone who was taking a look 702 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: at the what they describe as hundreds of dead fish 703 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: that are turning up in streams there. Let's take a 704 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: look at that. I think it's important for people to 705 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: see the dead fish. I'm gonna walk under the bridge 706 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: here above and show you coming right up another fish. 707 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: There's hundreds of them up here. So hundreds of dead fish, 708 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: other animals like foxes that are dying. National Journal actually 709 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: SAGA had a good report where they talk to people 710 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 1: who were on the ground and you're talking about people 711 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: who even after the all clear was given, they didn't 712 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 1: come back fully to their homes, but they went back 713 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: to to get something that they needed, you know, an 714 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: id something. So they're literally in and out, eyes are 715 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: watering and burning and headaches. And this is after they've 716 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: been told oh, it's it's all good, it's all fine. 717 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: That report, this is this just breaks my heart. To 718 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: give you a sense of what people are going through 719 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 1: there talk about a woman named Andrea Beldon who noticed 720 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: her two year old cat, Leo, lying motionless, heart racing 721 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: and breathing labored. Remained way Overnight he was found to 722 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: have congestive heart failure, Fluid filled around his heart and lungs, 723 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: His liver enzyns shot up. Medication was not working, he 724 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: wasn't moving, he wasn't eating, wasn't drinking, wasn't going to 725 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: the bathroom. To continue treatment, she would have had to 726 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: come up with eighteen thousand dollars. So she went to 727 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: the railway North Norfolk Southern and said, hey, listen, the 728 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: vet says, this is connected to what you all did. 729 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: Pay like, let me keep my cat alive. They said no, 730 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,959 Speaker 1: maybe in the future. Fat lot of good that does 731 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: her now and she had to put the cat to sleep, 732 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 1: And even after putting the cat down, she still owes 733 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: almost ten thousand dollars for the treatment that Leo had 734 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: already received. Just horrible, just to give you a sense of, 735 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: you know, one small piece of the nightmare that people 736 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: are going through. And then of course people are terrified, 737 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: what is this doing to my kids? What is this 738 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: doing to me? What does this mean for my future? 739 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: And so far there's no indication that Norfolk Southern has 740 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, any plan to pay people for anything close 741 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: to the damages that they have likely encouraged. Oh yeah, 742 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: and look, I mean you know we've covered here. The 743 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: unions were warning about this. I mean that goes back 744 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: to why the railway deal was a crime in the 745 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: first place. And then second, I mean, where is where's 746 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: our government? Like? Yes, President Biden has there's two probably 747 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: the biggest stories in the country, and my estimation right 748 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,959 Speaker 1: now are UFOs and Ohio. He hasn't said a word 749 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: about either of them. Where are you? And then his 750 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: deputized people, you know, one is abroad talking about you know, oh, 751 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: we haven't recovered any debris yet. The other one is 752 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: talking about workplace diversity. I mean, we have no confidence 753 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: that anything is going to happen. If I was one 754 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: of those people, is no way in hell I'm going 755 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: back there. Yeah, not a chance. Yeah. There's a guy 756 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: who I have no idea the credibility of the sky, 757 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: but he's on TikTok and he seemed like he knew 758 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: what he was talking about. It seemed like he was 759 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: a chemist. He had sort of like detailed knowledge about 760 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: this particular chemical and the way it interacts with water 761 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: and air and what temperature it boils at, et cetera. 762 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: But one thing he said that definitely rang true for 763 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: me based on what I've observed for the news is 764 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: he said, listen, I study these industrial accidents all the 765 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: time because it was like a particular fascination for him. 766 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: He's like, the pattern is always the same. The company 767 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: puts out the most positive, like optimistic statement about what's 768 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 1: going on. The politicians they don't know and sometimes are 769 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: in bed with these people, and so they just pairrot 770 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: whatever the corporate line ultimately is. The media is not 771 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: expert on what these chemicals are and what the fallout 772 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: effects might be, et cetera, et cetera, so they also 773 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: just parrot whatever the politicians are saying. So ultimately, what 774 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: you're getting in all of these incidents in terms of 775 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: the first blush impression is usually just whatever the corporate 776 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: line is. And so that's why I too, would be 777 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: deeply skeptical that it is actually safe in the area, 778 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: that adequate testing has been done, that they even know 779 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: what the potential fallout of such a thing could be. 780 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we've never had a situation before with this 781 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: much of this particular chemical and being burned, and how 782 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: much seeped into the ground and how much went out 783 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: in the air, And now we know that it's seeped 784 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: into the Ohio River basin. What does that mean? I 785 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: think one thing that we've you know, we see with 786 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: the UFOs too, is like they pretend like they, oh, 787 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: we were super competent, we know what's going on. We've 788 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: got this lockdown. They don't really know, especially the local 789 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: but they're guessing. The media is guessing, and so I 790 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: would take a lot more seriously the people who are 791 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: living there, who are trying to go about their daily 792 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: lives and are continuing to see and experience directly negative 793 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: effects of whatever the hell happened here. Absolutely, we're going 794 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: to stay on it, guys. Yeah, one hundred percent. Another 795 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,439 Speaker 1: thing we wanted to take a look at is Washing 796 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,439 Speaker 1: Post has a new in depth report about the way, 797 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: especially Jared Kushner, but also Donald Trump himself has profited 798 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: off of their deep ties and relationship with Saudi Arabia. 799 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this has major implications for the foreign policy 800 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: of their administry in the past, also major implications for 801 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: what their foreign policy would be if they end up 802 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: back in the White House. Let's go and put this 803 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: up on the screen. Some of this covers things we've 804 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: covered before, but it goes into great depth and there's 805 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: additional detail. Their headline is after helping Princes Rise, Trump 806 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 1: and Kushner benefit from Saudi funds, an investment fund overseen 807 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: by Crown Prince mohammedd Ban Salmon is backing ventures that 808 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,800 Speaker 1: profit the former president and his senior advisor, raising questions 809 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,359 Speaker 1: of conflict. Now you all will recall under the Trump administration, 810 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: Kushner in particular, and some of these details are really 811 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: revealed for the first time in this report. He was 812 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: the one who was really pushing Trump to cozy up 813 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: to the Saudi Arabian government and especially to MBS. He 814 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: was the one who Trump initially didn't want Saudi to 815 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: be his first foreign trip. Kushner was the one who 816 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: really kind of put the screws to him and pushed 817 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 1: him to do that. And now potentially, in exchange, NBS 818 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 1: has really bailed Kushner out of some difficult financial straits 819 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: and funded almost all of this two billion dollar fund 820 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: that Kushner raised. Let me read you a little bit 821 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 1: of what this says, because the details here are stunning. 822 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,959 Speaker 1: They say, the day after leaving the White House, Jarek 823 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into 824 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 1: a private equity firm with two billion dollars from a 825 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salman. 826 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: Kushner's firm structured those funds so they didn't have to 827 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: disclose the source. According to previously unreported details of SEC 828 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: forms reviewed by The Washington Post, his business used a 829 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid 830 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: transparency about funding sources, something I would argue we should 831 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: probably change. On Trump's side, they talk about how a 832 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: year after his presidency, Trump's golf courses, oh they began 833 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: hosting tournaments for the Saudi Fund back to live golf 834 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: separately the former Presidence family company the Trump Organization. They 835 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: secured an agreement with a Saudi real estate company that 836 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: plans to build a Trump hotel as part of a 837 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: four billion dollar golf resort in Oman. They also talk 838 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: about here how Trump acknowledges that he bailed MBS out, 839 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: especially with regards to the murder of Jamal Kushogi. He 840 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 1: says said in a recorded interview quote, I saved his ass. 841 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: According to the Trump Shapes by Post associate editor Bob Woodward, 842 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,439 Speaker 1: he refused to endorse the CIA's conclusion. He equivocated about 843 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: Muhammad's involvement. He opposed releasing of the report, and vetoed 844 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: a congressional bill to block arm sales to the Kingdom. 845 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: President sent Mike Pompeo, who had replaced Rex Tillerson as 846 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, to meet with the Prince and remind 847 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: him of his debt. By the way, Kushner has also 848 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: reportedly raised at least another five hundred million from his 849 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: company from unknown international investors since he filed that his 850 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: SEC form last year. He has not identified the source 851 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: of that money. And just to put the numbers in 852 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: stark relief here, let's go and put this up on 853 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: the screen. As of last year, Kushner's firm reported that 854 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: two point five point one billion out of two point 855 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: five four billion under management came from foreign sources. Two 856 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: billion of that from directly from MBS more or less. 857 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked here before about the fact that 858 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: the review board for this investment initially we're like, no, 859 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: we don't think that Jared Kushner is has the skill set, 860 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: he's not qualified. We don't want to invest this money 861 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: with him. And MBS came in over the top and 862 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: basically made this investment happen. So it is a disgusting, 863 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: disgusting display. I mean, the most direct example you can 864 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: possibly imagine of like the intermingling of politics, foreign affairs 865 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 1: and personal wealth and you know, correct, straight pay to play. 866 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: Kushner is going to personally pocket twenty five million in 867 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: management fees just off the Saudi money alone. All right, 868 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 1: So that's it. Fantastic wealth coming straight off of the 869 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,919 Speaker 1: MBS relationship that he built in the White House. There's 870 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: no way to describe. This is as corrupt as it 871 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: possibly gets. It is just as bad as Hunter Biden. 872 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: It is just as bad as Chelsea Clinton sitting on 873 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,240 Speaker 1: the board of Expedia or whatever because she's very qualified 874 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 1: of course. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's exactly why. I mean, 875 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: every time I look at these and you have these 876 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 1: relations who are of people who are in power, the 877 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: level of brazenness that they are allowed to get away 878 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: with is outrageous. And here's the crazy part, guys. This 879 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: is totally legal, It's all legal. But that doesn't make 880 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: it right, two point five to one billion dollars in 881 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: form is anybody in the United States willing to give 882 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: this guy money? No, because we don't know he's an idiot, 883 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: so we has to go. It's a reason why two 884 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: point five one of the two point five four I 885 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 1: did the mask is all raised overseas. That is ninety 886 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: eight point eight percent. And by the way, he is 887 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: the son in law technically of a billionaire, right, so 888 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: by this it doesn't even look like his own wife 889 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: will give him his money. Like people give him money. 890 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: They giving him money here. The Saudis and possibly some 891 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: other oligard didn't even want to do it until the 892 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 1: Crown Prince literally was like, no, you're gonna give Jared. 893 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: Let me ask Look, let the money sink in. He's 894 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: getting filthy rich off of his time in the White House. 895 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 1: Just ask yourself this. Yeah, they end up back in 896 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: the White House with you know, Trump making whatever he's 897 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: making from live golf, and Jared with his two billion 898 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: dollars in the fun You think they're really going to 899 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 1: be first and foremost concerned about whatever the American interest 900 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 1: is with regards to the Saudis. Come on, you don't 901 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: think this is going to impact their decision making. You 902 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: don't think that this possibility impacted their decision making last 903 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: time around. I don't think anyone could tell you with 904 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: a straight face that this has no impact on the 905 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: way that they will ultimately conduct their foreign policy with, 906 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, a nation that is both very important and 907 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: with which we have somewhat of a fraught relationship at 908 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 1: the moment. I mean, this isn't some bit player. This 909 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: is a major player, especially when it comes to energy 910 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 1: and the price of gas at the pump. So it's 911 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: disgusting and we cannot focus on it possibly enough, because 912 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: it is such a brazen, brazen example of pay to play. 913 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: The same time, we've got a little Elon Musk back 914 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,399 Speaker 1: and forth. This is an interesting one, all right. Put 915 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: this up on the screen from media. Elon Musk is 916 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: defending restricting Ukraine military Internet service, saying, quote, we will 917 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to World 918 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: War three. This came in response put this next piece 919 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: up on the screen to astronaut Scott Kelly, who actually 920 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: is Mark Kelly's brother. He said to Elon, Ukraine desperately 921 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: needs your continued support. Please restore the full functionality of 922 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: your Starlink satellite defense from a gemicidal invasionist not in 923 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,919 Speaker 1: offensive capability survival, Innocent lives will be lost. You can help, 924 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: thank you, to which Elon replies, what you see on 925 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: the screen here, you're smart enough not to swallow media 926 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: and other propaganda bs. Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, 927 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: especially at the front lines where almost all other Internet 928 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation 929 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: of conflict that may lead to World War three, he 930 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: went on. In response to another person. Here he says, listen, 931 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: SpaceX commercial terminals, like other commercial products, are meant for 932 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: private use. Put this next one up on the screen, guys, 933 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: not military. But we have not exercised our right to 934 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 1: turn them off. We're trying hard to do the right 935 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: thing where the right thing is an extremely difficult moral question. Now, 936 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: you guys know I haven't been the biggest, biggest you 937 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: on fan on this. I will one hundred percent defend him. 938 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, you know it's not clear one 939 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent what they have done to limit starlink service. 940 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 1: They did announce they are going to limit it. There's 941 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: some Wall Street Journal reporting that says Basically, Ukrainian soldiers 942 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: say it's working largely as usual for frontline communications, but 943 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: some units had reported issues with terminals attached to strike drones. 944 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: So again, not one hundred percent clear the ways that 945 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: they have restricted it. But I think he's trying to 946 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: strike what to me seems like a relatively reasonable balance, 947 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: trying to avoid escalation leading to World War three. And 948 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,760 Speaker 1: also Sager is very much in line with the original 949 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 1: rationale and explanation from the US government of what they 950 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: would be doing visa of the Ukraine. Yeah, you know, 951 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: his point is not wrong. Well, he's like, look, this 952 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,919 Speaker 1: is supposed to be a commercial device. It's not even 953 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be used for military purposes. And you know 954 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 1: why you don't want to use for military purposes because 955 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,360 Speaker 1: now you're opening yourselves up to the world of sanctions 956 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: and you're working opening up yourself. You're in a different 957 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: realm than you ever intended to be. And you know, 958 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: at the right right now, I mean, he already talked 959 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,280 Speaker 1: about how they were providing Ukraine like hundreds of millions 960 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: of dollars in free service with high speed internet connectivity, 961 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: and he's like, I guess we'll just keep doing it. 962 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: But the core beef was the Starlink was like, hey, Pentagon, 963 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 1: you pay for it, you know you're the one, and 964 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: they're like, no, we're not going to do This is 965 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: outrageous because they initially provided free service to Ukraine. Zelenski 966 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: then jumping on being like Elon doesn't support Ukraine, like 967 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, and basically browbeating him in the press to 968 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: make him bow before this. But I think it's a 969 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: totally legitimate point, like if the US government wants to 970 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: provide high speed interactivity, you know, to Ukrainian forces, then 971 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 1: they are welcome to do that, but why should a 972 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: private company be required to do so? And then secondary, 973 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 1: if the private company is going to do so basically 974 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: out of the goodness of their heart, is costing them 975 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money, well then they're parameters of that CEO, 976 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: of their owner, and how he'd used the conflict is 977 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: of course going to play a role here. This is 978 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: part of what drives me crazy about the Ukrainians. You 979 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: don't have a right to anything that we give you. You 980 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 1: You should be grateful about what it is, and they're not. 981 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 1: Like their and their defenders are constantly and I pointed 982 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 1: to that previous Zelensky demand spider jets, all right, you 983 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 1: build them? Okay, yeah, go for it. You don't have 984 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 1: an industrial base. That's why you can't do it. So 985 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 1: you should at least and say, police, can you give us, 986 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna ask us to escalate, at 987 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: least be nice about it. That's one of those things 988 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 1: where it drives me nuts. In the media and the 989 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 1: way Elon was treated on this. You should be thanking 990 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: God for him for creating this technology that enables you 991 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,240 Speaker 1: and your military to put up even a modest defense 992 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 1: against the Russians. You should not be demanding it, and 993 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: not that you're not even paying for it, you're gonna 994 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: get for free. I mean, listen, I think that I 995 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 1: think people aren't necessarily saying Elon has to is like 996 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,439 Speaker 1: required to, but they're saying it'd be the right thing 997 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 1: to do, and he's basically arguing like it's a little complicated, 998 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 1: because you know, it's one thing. All the reporting says 999 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 1: that Starlink has been has truly been critical for Ukraine 1000 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: in terms of their communications on the frontline, and Starlink 1001 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: is still providing that which is incredibly important, which is 1002 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: why I think the like antagonistic approach that Zelenski and 1003 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: others in Ukraine have taken has been you know, they 1004 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: can say whatever they want, but I think it's kind 1005 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: of foolish. But again, what Elon is laying out here 1006 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: about concerns of World War three escalation and wanting to 1007 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 1: provide you know, a communications ability on the front lines 1008 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,439 Speaker 1: for the purpose of defense, but not wanting to be 1009 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: really involved in enabling any sort of offensive capabilities, in 1010 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: particular that could you know, strike crimea strike into Russia itself. 1011 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: I think again that that's a reasonable moral stand to 1012 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: take as he's trying to sort through, you know, what 1013 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,800 Speaker 1: their role here should ultimately be. So so yeah, I 1014 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: think the Ukrainian approach here has been a bit foolish. Ultimately, 1015 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, this has been incredibly critical for their efforts, 1016 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: and instead of getting any sort of like appreciation or 1017 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: acknowledgment of how critical they have been, you know, it's 1018 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,919 Speaker 1: he's basically getting shpit on for getting involved at all. 1019 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: So it's no, but that's the thing. They're not foolish. 1020 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: They can get away with it. They never get called 1021 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,800 Speaker 1: on anything. Zelenski literally lies about a Russian missile flying 1022 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: in poll and calling for a no fly zone. Everybody 1023 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: here's like, no, no, it's all you know what was 1024 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: crazy when that whole thing happened. Whenever it turned out 1025 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 1: that it was Ukrainian anti air missile, they're like, oh, 1026 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: it's Russia's fault, actually that our citizens were killed. What 1027 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,839 Speaker 1: they didn't even apologize for what happened. I mean, the 1028 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: level of which we accommodate them is crazy. You can say, yeah, 1029 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: look what's going on there. It's unjust that you were invaded. 1030 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 1: I hope that you win. You know, I support your 1031 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,359 Speaker 1: right to defend yourself, but that doesn't mean that we 1032 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, you're always in the right. And the level 1033 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 1: of hysteria and just the inability to grapple with any 1034 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: critical thought on this like it is, as people can tell, 1035 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 1: drives me absolutely, especially when they're ungrateful to people like 1036 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: you for literally giving them tens of millions of dollars 1037 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 1: in free service of which they say is required on 1038 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: the battlefield, and they're so arrogant that they're willing to 1039 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,919 Speaker 1: criticize them in public. And you know, here's the thing 1040 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: for all of his like I'll stand up. You still 1041 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 1: gave it to Emilan, like you didn't actually back down, 1042 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,879 Speaker 1: So I don't know. You know, it just shows you, 1043 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: like how powerful they really are in the zeitgeist. Well, 1044 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,719 Speaker 1: one thing that is not controversial would be bringing starlink 1045 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: capability to my home in We're all Virginia, so something 1046 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: we can all get hy it. I checked the map 1047 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: for you. It's coming in twenty twenty three. You see 1048 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: what they allegedly? Okay, all right, Tacker, what are you 1049 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: looking at? Well, everyone here knows I never miss a 1050 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: chance for a history lesson, So I thought, in the 1051 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,280 Speaker 1: midst of one of the most extraordinary moments in UFO history, 1052 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: it's important we take a step back look at the 1053 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: past behavior of the US government on this topic as 1054 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: we attempt to parse all of what we know right 1055 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: now in real time. There's a lot of disbelief right 1056 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: now as to how the US government can shoot down 1057 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: three objects in the course of three days and basically 1058 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: tell us nothing about what's going on. But sadly, it 1059 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 1: actually fits a long time pattern of our government hiding 1060 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: the truth from us, and in many cases off the 1061 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,799 Speaker 1: skating extraordinary events in the hope that we will lose 1062 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: interest and just move on. It's worth noting This has 1063 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: been a feature, not a bug, about UFOs from the 1064 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,720 Speaker 1: very beginning. Starting at Roswell. Let's review the basic facts. 1065 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: We know that in the summer of nineteen forty seven, 1066 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 1: a New Mexico rancher found debris from a crashed object 1067 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 1: on his land after several UFO flying discs sidings were 1068 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: reported all over New Mexico. The debris was brought by 1069 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,919 Speaker 1: the rancher to Roswell Airfield, where the commander on site 1070 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,359 Speaker 1: inspected it and put out a statement saying, quote the 1071 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality after 1072 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,319 Speaker 1: the examination of the debris, and then the next day 1073 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 1: the government reversed themselves saying no, no, no, it wasn't 1074 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 1: a flying saucer or a flying disc. Actually it was 1075 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 1: a weather balloon. Here's a photo for you. They stuck 1076 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 1: to that story for fifty years, when in nineteen ninety 1077 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 1: four they said after the Cold War, actually wreckage from Roswell. 1078 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: It was part of a classified US government program known 1079 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: as Project Mogul, and it was a high altitude balloon 1080 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: equipped with microphones that were designed to secretly float over 1081 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. They came up with the weather balloon's 1082 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 1: story as a decoy. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, 1083 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 1: But Roswell set the tone for which UFOs would be 1084 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 1: treated by the US government, lives obfuscations, sophisticated programs designed 1085 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 1: to keep as much information from the public as secret 1086 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 1: as possible. Despite the fallout of Roswell UFO sidings, they 1087 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 1: didn't stop. Not from normal people. Pilots themselves were forcing 1088 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: the Air Force in the US military to create a 1089 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 1: task force dedicated to studying the UFO phenomenon, and this 1090 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: took on a few phases. It began in nineteen forty seven. 1091 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: There was Project Sign, Project Grudge, and Project Blue Book. 1092 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm skipping over a lot of history here, but the 1093 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: most extraordinary thing to occur during this initial phase is 1094 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: an alleged document that was known as the Quote Estimate 1095 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: of the Situation. It was written sometime if it ever existed, 1096 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty eight. After analyzing several incidents, this document, 1097 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 1: alleged by the Project Signed member and former Air Force 1098 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 1: Captain Edward Repelled, concluded that the UFO phenomenon was extraterrestrial life. 1099 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 1: The report was approved by the group that was studying 1100 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: the phenomenon before being rejected out of hand by the 1101 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. Then 1102 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: a critical incident happened the nineteen fifty two UFO scare 1103 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 1: right over Washington, DC. Right here, seven blips were spotted 1104 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: on the radar air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport. 1105 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: One was moving at a very high rate of space 1106 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: that was irregular. US Air Force pilots were dispatched to 1107 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: intercept the object. They claimed they saw it with their 1108 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: own eyes, narrowly missed them. The radar signal was verified 1109 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: at nearby Bass Military Basis. In a frantic search, they 1110 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: still couldn't find them. A week later, the exact same 1111 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: thing happened again, and the headlines at the time screamed 1112 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 1: about flying discs, saucers, pilots, outflow of US jets, and 1113 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: the press for once was actually trying to do its job. 1114 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 1: They were hammering the Truman administration the Pentagon. They needed 1115 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: to provide answers. So what does the government do? What 1116 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: it does best, It lied first. The general responsible for 1117 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 1: answering questions about the incident obfuscated every single detail possible 1118 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: from the press before landing on the preferred explanation that 1119 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: they have today. It was a quote temperature inversion, an 1120 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: explanation that holds no weight at all, and one that 1121 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: they landed on after frantically searching internally for something that 1122 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: they could use that might stop people from asking questions. 1123 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: The second thing they did was they convened a new group. 1124 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: It is known to history as the Quote Robertson Panel. 1125 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: The panel was put together by the CIA in a 1126 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: joint advisory committee tasked with understanding UFOs. Now, instead of 1127 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 1: actually understanding UFOs, they reached a different conclusion. Actually, what 1128 00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: they needed to do is a public education campaign to 1129 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: convince the American public that UFOs were nonsense, To weaponize 1130 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: the press, use prominent people in pop culture and media, 1131 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 1: including the Walt Disney Corporation, to convince Americans that UFOs 1132 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: were not a threat to American national security and that 1133 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: only cranks believed in them. This was at the height 1134 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: of CIA power in America, when they involved all sorts 1135 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 1: of insane black ops here in American soil and experimenting 1136 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: on American citizens to try and find a path to 1137 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: mind control. It set the tone from that day forward 1138 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: from Project Blue Book, where the sole purpose of the 1139 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: project was to stigmatize UFOs. Bury the evidence, cover it up, 1140 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: twist American public opinion away from any curiosity. And the 1141 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 1: reason I'm taking you through this torturous history is because 1142 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 1: this legacy of secrecy pervades the entire pedic gone Today, 1143 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 1: we are really supposed to believe we had three UFOs 1144 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 1: shot down in seven two hours, and it's not one 1145 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 1: photo of that wreckage. This is in an age where 1146 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 1: we knowingly put hell fire missiles in moving cars in 1147 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and have had that capability for over twenty years. 1148 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: Keep this in mind. This is after an extraordinary five 1149 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 1: years where we have literal video evidence of insane objects 1150 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 1: moving at high rates of speed. We have pilots on 1151 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 1: the record in the media believing that they saw something extraordinary, 1152 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,560 Speaker 1: and they have receipts to back it up. After all 1153 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 1: of that, they still drag their feet. Two congressionally mandated 1154 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: reports released as little information to us as humanly possible. 1155 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,520 Speaker 1: At the same time they fulfill their Robertson panel dreams. 1156 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: They have stigmatized UFOs to the American public, using the 1157 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 1: media as their mouthpiece. Watch this clip that we showed 1158 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: you earlier, the White House telling us there's no evidence 1159 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 1: of alien spacecraft. Don't worry about it. The press corps. 1160 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: They giggle like little school children. I know there's been 1161 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 1: questions and concerns about this, but there is no again, 1162 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: no indication of aliens or extra terrestrial activity with these 1163 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,920 Speaker 1: recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or 1164 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 1: terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Wanted to make sure 1165 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: that the American people knew that. All of you knew that, 1166 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: and it was important for us to say that from 1167 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 1: here because we've been hearing a lot about it. The 1168 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 1: Robertson panel could have barely dreamed of a more compliant 1169 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: press core than what you have right there. The good thing, though, 1170 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 1: is we do have the Internet on our side and 1171 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: the ability to ask questions that we couldn't before. Maybe 1172 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 1: there's a benign explanation for what these aircraft that we 1173 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 1: shot down are. But one thing you should be sure of. 1174 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Don't believe any of the assurances from the US government 1175 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: on any of this, and anyway, that's what I come down. 1176 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't think people really know the history. And look, 1177 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I know that it sounds crazy, but like you, and 1178 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 1: if you want to hear my reaction to Sager's monologue, 1179 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: become a premium subscriber today at Breakingpoints dot Com. Are 1180 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 1: you checking a look out? Well, guys. The fallout continues 1181 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: over what could be the largest public corruption scandal in history. Now, 1182 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: as you will call, various politically connected individuals in the 1183 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: state of Mississippi, including former NFL star Brett Farv, are 1184 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: accused of stealing a combined total of some seventy to 1185 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 1: ninety million dollars that was intended for needy welfare recipients. Now, 1186 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 1: the brazen details of the scandal are truly shocking. Farv 1187 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 1: alone is said to have pocketed a million dollars in 1188 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: speaking fees for toks he never gave, and was working 1189 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 1: with a politically connected charity to have a multimillion dollar 1190 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: volleyball stadium for his daughter financed out of those welfare funds. Now, 1191 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 1: Farv denies wrong doing. He says he didn't have any 1192 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,360 Speaker 1: idea where this money was coming from. I put that 1193 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 1: disclaimer up top because I don't want to get sued, 1194 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 1: And apparently Farv is in a litigious mood. He is 1195 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: now suing two commentators who opined on the matter, and 1196 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 1: even the Mississippi State Auditor I guess for daring to 1197 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 1: uncover Farv's alleged fraud. So here are the details. Farv's 1198 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: filed defamation lawsuits against sports commentator Shannon Sharp and Pat McAfee, 1199 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: along with state auditor Shad White. Apparently, he's upset with 1200 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: Shandon Sharp for saying that Farv was a quote sorry 1201 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 1: mofo to steal from the lowest to the low and 1202 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,160 Speaker 1: that Farv quote stole money from people that really needed 1203 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 1: that money. Farv is also upset with McAfee for calling 1204 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 1: him a quote thief and for saying Farv was quote 1205 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: stealing from poor people in Mississippi. As for the state auditor, 1206 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 1: the suit accuses White of shamelessly and falsely attacking Farv's 1207 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: good name. Now, perhaps if you don't want to have 1208 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: your good name attacked, don't try to pull for welfare 1209 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: funds to build your daughter a stadium. Allegedly, there are 1210 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: though other reasons why Farv's good name may have already 1211 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: been sullied as well, but I digress from that. For 1212 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 1: his part, Pat McAfee doesn't seem particularly phased by the 1213 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 1: legal threats here, and I'm no legal analyst, but probably 1214 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 1: has good reason to feel fairly confident. It's hard to 1215 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: imagine that McAfee's commentary on publicly reported events about a 1216 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: very high profile person are going to meet the high 1217 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: legal bar for defamation. Here, in part was McAfee's mocking response, 1218 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 1: take a lot of produ our work. We had to 1219 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: cover that situation, and we certainly said allegedly, and a 1220 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of people are wondering how my lawyers are going 1221 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 1: to handle us. You know it, I ain't got him, 1222 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: So let's ride this, bucker. I'm excited to see how 1223 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 1: it goes. I'll see you in court, Pal. Cheers to 1224 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: everybody in cheers or feel good Friday not being ruined 1225 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 1: at all by that in court pal. Now, if I 1226 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: had to guess, Far's lawsuits are less about actually winning 1227 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 1: a case in court, which again seems highly unlikely, and 1228 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 1: more about scaring other journalists and commentators away from talking 1229 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 1: about him. Judging by me writing this monologue, it's not 1230 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: working all that well. But there is, if anything, even 1231 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 1: more fallout in the political world, which is larger than 1232 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: the sports world. As you're probably aware of, Mississippi is 1233 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: a red state. Democrat hasn't even come close to winning 1234 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: for governor there since Republican Haley Barber took the office 1235 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,800 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. Now, when you think of 1236 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,919 Speaker 1: competitive swing states, it's not exactly what comes to mind, 1237 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: but this scandal could be turning politics in Mississippi upside 1238 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: down because the current Governor Ryan Grimm look alike Republican 1239 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 1: Tate Reeves is deeply connected both to the scandal itself 1240 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 1: and to an and cover up, and it happens to 1241 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: be up for re election this very year. So far 1242 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: that reelect is off to a pretty rocky start. Bombshell 1243 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 1: newpoll by Tulchion Research actually has the Republican incumbent Reeves 1244 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:15,280 Speaker 1: down four points to the Democratic nominee, Brandon Presley. Reeves 1245 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 1: approval rating has tanked in connection with this scandal, and 1246 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: voters by an overwhelming two to one marchin have a 1247 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 1: dim view of his handling of it. It's no wonder 1248 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: they're disgusted, because Reeves is deeply implicated in not only 1249 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 1: the scandal, but again a purported cover up. First of all, 1250 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 1: Reeves is part of the same political machine as the 1251 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 1: previous governor Phil Bryant, under whom this multimillion dollar welfare 1252 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 1: scandal all unfolded. In fact, Reeves was not just a 1253 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: civilian bystander to the whole corrupt affair. He was Lieutenant 1254 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: governor at the time and had himself benefited from the 1255 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: political patronage of one of the main accused wrongdoers in 1256 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 1: this whole scheme. Second of all, reeves On personal trainer 1257 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 1: is alleged to have received one point three million dollars 1258 01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 1: in payments out of the welfare money, and lo and 1259 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 1: behold messages strongly suggest that Tate Reeves himself directed those payments. 1260 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 1: Reporting from Mississippi Today reveals that the alleged scheme to 1261 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 1: provide the money to the trainer was described as quote 1262 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 1: the Lieutenant governor's fitness issue, again the lieutenant governor being 1263 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 1: Tate Reefs. But what is most infuriated the Mississippi public 1264 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: is what appears to be a cover up. Reeves fired 1265 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: a lawyer who was working to recoup the stolen welfare 1266 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,160 Speaker 1: funds after that lawyer issued subpoenas which could have proved 1267 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 1: politically damaging to the former governor or to Tate Reeves himself. 1268 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,919 Speaker 1: That subpoena asked for documents from the University of Southern 1269 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 1: Mississippi's Athletic Foundation, and the board of that foundation just 1270 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: happens to be chock full of Tate Reeves' supporters and 1271 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Tate Reeves donors. Reeves fired that lawyer near days after 1272 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the subpoena was issued. This corruption scandal is not just 1273 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 1: some side issue in the campaign either. It's blown up 1274 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: into one of the top issues in this campaign in 1275 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 1: the whole state, and understandably so. Voters are rightly disgusted 1276 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 1: with a politic class that used money intended for the 1277 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: state's neediest to instead pad their own lavish lifestyles and 1278 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 1: reward their political cronies. In this poll, ninety three percent 1279 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: of respondents had at least heard something about this scandal. Now, 1280 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't know much about the Democrat Brandon Presley. He 1281 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 1: seems like a decent candidate for the state. He was 1282 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: state utility regulatory blocked rate increases benefited consumers there. He's 1283 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 1: born and raised in a small town in Mississippi, pro 1284 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 1: life and pro gun for what it's worth. He apparently 1285 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: is Elvis's cousin, Presley Presley. You see, it's a test 1286 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 1: case over whether public revulsion to this looting of the 1287 01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 1: public bursts can actually overcome the state's usual partisan tilt. 1288 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: We will find out in November. The Breadfarv thing is unbelievable. 1289 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 1: First of all, the gall of this man to sue them. 1290 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: And if you want to hear my reaction to Crystal's monologue, 1291 01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 1: become a premium subscriber today at Breakingpoints dot Com. Joining 1292 01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: me now is a good friend, Jeremy Corbell. He's an 1293 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 1: independent journalist. He's released some of the most important videos 1294 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 1: regarding thiss, So of course we had to talk with 1295 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Jeremy about this entire situation. So, Jeremy, there's been an 1296 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,000 Speaker 1: explosion of public interest in UFOs after the last couple 1297 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: of days in these extraordinary shootdowns. Just want to get 1298 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 1: your reaction to everything that's happening here, not only the 1299 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,799 Speaker 1: interests of the topic writ large, but also this specific instances. 1300 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 1: What are you thinking about this? Yeah, well, look, the 1301 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 1: moment this began, people started texting me, is this war 1302 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: of the worlds? Is this, you know, confirmation? Are they 1303 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: finally dealing with this elusive what they call UAP now, 1304 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 1: which is just UFO same thing? Are we dealing with 1305 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: this mystery publicly? Forward facing? Unfortunately, the answer is know 1306 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,879 Speaker 1: that this organization is incredible. We know there are balloons, 1307 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: we know there are Chinese spy balloons. This is something 1308 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: that has been happening for decades, this specific type. So 1309 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: what we're dealing with is the media all of a 1310 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 1: sudden grabbing on to these very specific in terminology, just 1311 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 1: trying to make everybody feel like this is a new thing. 1312 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,240 Speaker 1: If we really cared about security in the United States 1313 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 1: on the level, we're not going to shoot a missile 1314 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 1: at a balloon. We're going to deal with, for example, 1315 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 1: what happened in twenty nineteen that is still unresolved. And 1316 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,679 Speaker 1: I think I've proven the case very recently by bringing 1317 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 1: witnesses forward direct eyewitnesses that these UAPs unidentified anomalist phenomena, 1318 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: that they're under intelligent control by some actor who we 1319 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: don't know who it is. But we can exclude China, Russia, US, 1320 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you name it, we can exclude it. So 1321 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 1: what are we not saying here? So the current events, dude, 1322 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 1: it's like this, this has been going on a long time. 1323 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 1: If we care about security, we would deal with the 1324 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 1: hacks to our cell phones before we would even care 1325 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,160 Speaker 1: about a balloon enough to shoot it down on national 1326 01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 1: television with a missile which we barely hit by the way, Yeah, 1327 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:58,720 Speaker 1: that's right. Well, and how do the pilot descriptions and 1328 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,680 Speaker 1: the limited pieces of information that we have gotten in 1329 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 1: terms of, you know, descriptions of these objects, how do 1330 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 1: those match up with previous reports and sightings. Right, That's 1331 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: a really important distinguishing quality here is that the UAP phenomenon, 1332 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 1: it's going on all the time, and it's over decades, 1333 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 1: if not generations. So what pilots are seeing and saying 1334 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 1: now with these particular events, it is not as extraordinary 1335 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,719 Speaker 1: as what we have heard from like let's say, Commander 1336 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 1: David Fraber, Commander Underwood, Lieutenant Ryan Graves. But look, what 1337 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 1: we're seeing is really nothing that I see as particularly anomalous. 1338 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: They are saying strange words to try to inflame the 1339 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 1: UFO community. I think that that is intentional because we 1340 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,760 Speaker 1: are what we're actually shooting down so far has been 1341 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 1: just really standard. Let's reflect on what's happened. Let's go back, 1342 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 1: because we're talking about spherical things. At George knappenin we 1343 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 1: released something called the orb This is the first piece 1344 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 1: of military film clearly identified as UAP. This is from 1345 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: within a classified briefing. Like a lot of the stuff 1346 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,040 Speaker 1: that I've been able to put out, but it is 1347 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 1: inherently unclassified. That's why I can put it out. So 1348 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: we put this out. This is an object that is 1349 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 1: from a four second video. It's two seconds slowed down 1350 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 1: and this is from a reconnaissance plane over northern Iraq Mosol. 1351 01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: That's why they call it the Mosol ORB. This was 1352 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 1: identified by our UAPTF, which was the task Force dealing 1353 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 1: with the Unidentified anomalost Phenomena as classified UAP, meaning it's 1354 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,640 Speaker 1: got some sort of propulsion, some reason why it was 1355 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: brought into that category. And if you've seen the if 1356 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,439 Speaker 1: you get to see the video, if people do their 1357 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 1: job and you can see the video, you're going to know. 1358 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: We know what balloons are. We know what those are. 1359 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,519 Speaker 1: We don't classify those UAP. So now you've got a 1360 01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 1: spherical object over a conflict zone. For the first first time, 1361 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,840 Speaker 1: the public is seeing an image that was contained in 1362 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 1: classified briefing. Now this makes you think about the trans 1363 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: medium capabilities from twenty nineteen when George and I released 1364 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 1: the uss O Maha video where our government and the 1365 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: people that are really working this within our government, they 1366 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: said this is trans medium. These were coming in and 1367 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:24,799 Speaker 1: out of the water and indeed I have direct reports 1368 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:29,760 Speaker 1: from people who saw that at that time. So what 1369 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,679 Speaker 1: you're seeing, Crystal, you asked the question, what you're seeing 1370 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 1: right now is a complete rewriting of our standards of 1371 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: rules of engagement in twenty nineteen. If this was Chinese technology, 1372 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 1: do you think it would have gotten much more coverage. 1373 01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 1: We now see what happens when we simply pop a 1374 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,599 Speaker 1: balloon with a missile from another country. We see the 1375 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 1: press coverage. What did we not see in twenty nineteen, 1376 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 1: We had nine pieces of corroborative visual evidence that I 1377 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 1: provided with George to the public and mass media. We 1378 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 1: didn't see this, and we still don't know the origin, intent, 1379 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 1: or capability of those objects at that time. Where did 1380 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: they come from, Where did they launch, where did they land? 1381 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 1: No propulsion system that we can see, and you can 1382 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 1: see that yourself in that flear footage, the black and 1383 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 1: white footage that's thermal. You should be able to see 1384 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:28,720 Speaker 1: flight control surfaces, rotor wash, heat dispersing from a propulsion system. 1385 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 1: That is not a balloon, that is not something out 1386 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: of control, that is something in controlled flight by an 1387 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: unknown operator. And that slide you're showing right now that 1388 01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 1: slide was also within a classified briefing, but is inherently unclassified, 1389 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 1: and it says it right there for you that they 1390 01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 1: suspect it to be trans medium. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Look, 1391 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 1: this is why I thought it was important to bring 1392 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 1: you on. And in our coverage, you know, it's difficult 1393 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 1: to distinguish as well where were like, Look, you know, 1394 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 1: in some of these cases, we're not talking about anything 1395 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 1: that is even close to as anomalist or described like 1396 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,640 Speaker 1: you said by Commander David Fraeer or Ryan Graves. One 1397 01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: of the things we've been trying to pick up on, 1398 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:10,439 Speaker 1: Jeremy is just the level of government obfuscation around keeping 1399 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 1: as much detail from the public as possible. That's something 1400 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,719 Speaker 1: that you have dealt with now through this entire period. 1401 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: You've spoken previously on the Joe Rogan podcast and elsewhere 1402 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,960 Speaker 1: about how we've actually fired on uf UAP's UOFOS, whatever 1403 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 1: you want to call it, These incidents have been covered 1404 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 1: up by the government. Can you just lay that out 1405 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,680 Speaker 1: for people. I did some of my monologue on this, 1406 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,759 Speaker 1: the level of secrecy and really just the lack of willingness, 1407 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: at least until very recently, to actually want to deal 1408 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: with this issue. Yeah. So look, there was a heroic thing, 1409 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,799 Speaker 1: which is where Representative Carson put together the first UFO 1410 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 1: congressional hearing in fifty three years actually, I think was 1411 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,599 Speaker 1: the amount of time. So there are people that want 1412 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,720 Speaker 1: to address this soberly and straight on. But the stigma 1413 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,200 Speaker 1: that is really the thing. It's very bizarre. The stigma 1414 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,720 Speaker 1: is what causes, as far as I can see so far, 1415 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the lack of journalism and the pre 1416 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,400 Speaker 1: bunking that is done on the UFO phenomenon. But even 1417 01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: within our mechanisms of government, it's really stigma. It's like, 1418 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 1: we don't want to admit what's right in front of us, 1419 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,679 Speaker 1: the UAP issue, because it has all of this baggage. 1420 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,360 Speaker 1: But look, you have objects of unknown origin flying with 1421 01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,840 Speaker 1: impunity in our restricted airspace. We need to deal with it. Now. 1422 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:28,639 Speaker 1: There is directed disinformation and misinformation about the UFO topic, 1423 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,680 Speaker 1: and I have dealt with that specifically and personally. I'll 1424 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 1: give you an example. The only spokesperson for the UAP 1425 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 1: topic the public has is Susan go. Susan Go at 1426 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: the Pentagon. Now, her statements have not only been misleading 1427 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: to American public, other than when she did confirm, I 1428 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 1: think because it's so obvious that what I obtained and 1429 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:53,920 Speaker 1: released was government film footage from active UFO investigations and 1430 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 1: did show true UAP. There has been an attempt to 1431 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: try to be very unclear to the American public, and 1432 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 1: she's doing that right now. Whoever is telling her to 1433 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 1: do it is who we should find out. That image 1434 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: I put out the Moso ORB is really important when 1435 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 1: it comes to shootdowns. I have talked about it, and 1436 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 1: I have said and everybody got real upset at me. 1437 01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: Over a long time. We are constantly shooting at unknowns, 1438 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 1: but the rules of engagement is that it's usually over 1439 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: conflict zones. It's when these objects, who by the way, 1440 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: Russia and Syria also fire upon, so we know it's 1441 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,480 Speaker 1: not their units, but that happens because of the proximity 1442 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 1: of UAP to ground troops. That's one of the criteria 1443 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: of why the fire on it. But now we're seeing 1444 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: it over the US and we don't know if these things, 1445 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 1: even if they are balloons, which most of them are, 1446 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,959 Speaker 1: you know, we don't know if they're manned or unmanned. 1447 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 1: So the shootdown thing, Look, I don't have a crystal 1448 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 1: ball right. But why I know that is because I've 1449 01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 1: been exposed to reports and briefings. That's why I could 1450 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: say it before came something everybody else was talking about nationally. 1451 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,879 Speaker 1: Got it. I wonder what you make of the theory 1452 01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 1: that this is all sort of like a syop. It's 1453 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 1: like a shiny object to keep us all talking and 1454 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 1: distracted while you know, some other major event is unfolding 1455 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,120 Speaker 1: people when pointing to the trained derailmen in Ohio that 1456 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a lot of media attention, what do you 1457 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 1: make of that argument that not just these instances, but 1458 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: other reported instances are also part of some broader government siop. Yeah, 1459 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I wish I could report to you that we have 1460 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 1: a well oiled machine where the deception is really well done. 1461 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,160 Speaker 1: I always feel like I should be, as a journalist 1462 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:43,080 Speaker 1: a few steps ahead of the BS. Right, Well, I'm 1463 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,920 Speaker 1: about twenty and that's concerning. That's very concerning. So this 1464 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 1: idea that there's a syops and we're trying to distract people, 1465 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 1: that that's just not true. You've got maybe on a 1466 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 1: low level, sure, very very low, Like you know, Susan 1467 01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 1: go at the Pentagon, whoever's telling her not to conforms 1468 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,639 Speaker 1: certain things, but on the broad picture, I think people 1469 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: are really trying their best. I have met some great 1470 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 1: people within the different departments that basically say, we want 1471 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 1: to be forward facing on this issue. We realize that 1472 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,720 Speaker 1: the pilots are having to deal with this. So that 1473 01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,559 Speaker 1: was why you saw that forward great movement Congress. Mc 1474 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,639 Speaker 1: gallagher came up, really threw down for the American public 1475 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 1: in that UFO hearing is kind of like a hero 1476 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 1: to a lot of people in the world interested in 1477 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 1: facing this topic. So I don't feel that it's in 1478 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 1: well orchestrated and oiled machine of deception. I would like 1479 01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: to believe that we were that sophisticated, but I think 1480 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 1: the bureaucracy, like I'm nimble, I'm on my feet as 1481 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 1: a journalist, and that's why I think journalists like myself 1482 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 1: we can get better briefings than people in Congress are 1483 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 1: sent it, which is kind of scary, right, Yeah, I 1484 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,680 Speaker 1: think that's what's so important. My last question, Jeremy, is 1485 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 1: what should people look for in the coming days, not 1486 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,719 Speaker 1: only about the shootdowns, but bro overall on the topic, 1487 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: and where can they learn even more about this? Sure? 1488 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 1: So I started a new show called Weaponized Podcast with 1489 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 1: my mentor and journalism George Knapp, and we have been 1490 01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: breaking news with each episode. So what you can expect 1491 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:17,639 Speaker 1: is more direct military film, UAPI, designated imagery and video, 1492 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 1: as well as a bunch of great conversations and people 1493 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: coming forward. You call them whistleblowers, you know, I would 1494 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 1: say they're just tell them the truth. So you expect 1495 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,400 Speaker 1: a lot of that Weaponized Podcast dot com. Yeah awesome, 1496 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll have a link down there to 1497 01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:33,720 Speaker 1: the description. Jeremy.

It means 1499 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: a lot and rely on you heavily. So thank you. 1500 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,800 Speaker 1: Great hacking me you, Jeremy, thank you for covering this, 1501 01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 1: both of you. Thank you for covering it. Yeah, measure. 1502 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 1: At the same time, Sager, we have some domestic political 1503 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: news breaking this morning. I know you're very excited because 1504 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: the former South Carolina governor and Ambassador to the UN 1505 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: under Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, has announced she is officially 1506 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 1: running for president. It's happening, people, it's all happening. Thought 1507 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 1: we'd give you a little taste of her announcement video 1508 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: and Siger and I will react on the other side. 1509 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: Take a look. It's a great day in South Carolina. 1510 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,200 Speaker 1: It's a great day. It's a great day, A great day, 1511 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:18,680 Speaker 1: a great day in South Carolina. We were strong, we 1512 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,799 Speaker 1: were proud. Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven 1513 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 1: out of the last eight presidential elections. That has to change. 1514 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's record is abysmal, but that shouldn't come as 1515 01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:35,880 Speaker 1: a surprise. The Washington establishment has failed us over and 1516 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 1: over and over again. It's time for a new generation 1517 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,920 Speaker 1: of leadership. You should know this about me. I don't 1518 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 1: put up with bullys, and when you kick back, it 1519 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 1: hurts them more if you're wearing heels. I'm Nikki Haley 1520 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 1: and I'm running for president. Oh my, who gave this 1521 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 1: woman the impression that anybody gives a shit about her 1522 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 1: high heels? I don't understand it, Like, where did this 1523 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 1: become a meme? And look sadly, I actually do know 1524 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: the answer that there is a group of cringe girl boss, 1525 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,640 Speaker 1: conservative feminist, anti feminist morning types on Twitter who are 1526 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 1: like you go, Nikki whenever They all thought that stupid 1527 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: ass photo of her raising her hand was like some 1528 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: great big own towards Russia and China. Look, I don't 1529 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: know what to even say. I'm glad the brown ceiling 1530 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 1: is getting broken. Congratulations, Republicans suddenly have their own identity policy. 1531 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's that's what all this is. Look, this 1532 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 1: lady doesn't have a chance in hell. I mean that ad. 1533 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,599 Speaker 1: It's like written by chat ChiPT It's like the most 1534 01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 1: replacement I was gonna say the Really, it's like if 1535 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,920 Speaker 1: you typed into AI, like make me a generic Republican 1536 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: political video for a woman of color, right, that this 1537 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,720 Speaker 1: is what you would get. Yeah. I hope that the 1538 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 1: technology is advanced enough to make the voice a little 1539 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,280 Speaker 1: bit less robotic than what NI going on there. Though. 1540 01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:00,000 Speaker 1: She tweeted this out with her comment was get excited. 1541 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 1: Time for a new generation. Let's do this exclamation point 1542 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: with the fifth bump and the American flag. And I 1543 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: just think one sure sign that a politician stands for 1544 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing as when they talk about a new generation. Yes, good, 1545 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 1: it's a guarantee that what they really mean is let's 1546 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 1: do the same old crap we've been doing, just with 1547 01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 1: like a slightly younger person. This was a Pete boodhagenchit 1548 01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 1: pitch last time around, you know, nothing wrong with like 1549 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: great to get new blood all at whatever. But if 1550 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,559 Speaker 1: you're leaning into my whole case is that my age 1551 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 1: is different than the person in power, like you're lacking 1552 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 1: a lot in terms of like principles and values and 1553 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,760 Speaker 1: actually something different for the country. Nikki Haley is an 1554 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 1: unreconstructed neo conservative on foreign policy. In twenty nineteen, she 1555 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: gave a speech called it Now is Not the Time 1556 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 1: to give up on Capitalism, where she attacked Josh Holly 1557 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 1: and Orrin Cass and a few others friends of mine, 1558 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,560 Speaker 1: at least in the case of Orin specifically for rethinking 1559 01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,280 Speaker 1: crazy policies like maybe hedge funds are bad, maybe private 1560 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: equity isn't as good as what it does, and tax 1561 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 1: cuts for these like filthy rich billionaires aren't the best 1562 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 1: most apt policy priority. Maybe that's why the financial billionaire 1563 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: Paul Singer happens to be bankrolling her entire campaign. The 1564 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 1: man literally cares about two things or three things. From 1565 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 1: what I hear crt Okay, whatever, you know. I guess 1566 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,120 Speaker 1: we can be fine on that one. Israel, that's one 1567 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,800 Speaker 1: he cares about a lot, and financial regulation making sure 1568 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,640 Speaker 1: that you protected on those fronts. On those two, or 1569 01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 1: at least two of those three. You could be guaranteed 1570 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 1: that Nikki Haley is like Lockstep. It's hilarious to how 1571 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 1: she a taxi establishment, you are the Republican establishment. What 1572 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 1: are you talking about a lot of her videos? Just 1573 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 1: like some people say, Maeric is dead, but I think 1574 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 1: America is good. Wow Okay, oh wow, Bold stands there, Nicky, 1575 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 1: way to go. So it'll be interesting, you know, to 1576 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,000 Speaker 1: watch how this all unfolds. You have a big cast 1577 01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,799 Speaker 1: of characters that is looking at getting into We talked yesterday, 1578 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,639 Speaker 1: Tim Scott is now looks like he's going to jump 1579 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,040 Speaker 1: into the race. That Glenn Youngkin looks like he's going 1580 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,280 Speaker 1: to get in. Mike Pompeio, John Bolton nobody cared, but 1581 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 1: he got in the race as well, Mi Pence obviously 1582 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,720 Speaker 1: in Ron de Santis as the only one of them 1583 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 1: that has any real chance at this whole thing. But 1584 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 1: the thing that I'm fascinated with is how they're all 1585 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,920 Speaker 1: going to approach Trump, right, I mean clearly her line 1586 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 1: here about like it's time for a new generation, and 1587 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 1: she makes that comment about you know, we've we've been 1588 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,840 Speaker 1: losing the popular vote, which even that I mean, you're 1589 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 1: dealing with a Republican base that sixty seventy to seventy 1590 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: percent of them thinks that the twenty twenty election was stolen. 1591 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 1: So they don't even agree with you there, number one 1592 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 1: and number two. Like the new generation thing, it's just 1593 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: not it's not a successful attack line. People's problem with 1594 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not actually his age. That's there's a 1595 01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: problem with Joe Biden because he shows his age a 1596 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: lot more than Trump does. Trump has this weird like, 1597 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, it does feel like the students just 1598 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: gonna haunt us forever and never go away. But but yeah, 1599 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 1: I think if that's what you're trying to lean into 1600 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:08,599 Speaker 1: in terms of any kind of a contrast with Donald Trump, 1601 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 1: good luck. I mean, lord knows, there is no evidence 1602 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,880 Speaker 1: that anybody wants a new generation. By the way, I 1603 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: want a new generation. But here's the deal. People my age, 1604 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 1: they really just don't vote. Unfortunately. I wish it was differently, 1605 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 1: but that's just the case. It's mostly boomers who vote, 1606 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 1: and they like Trump. They also voted for Biden. All right, 1607 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 1: So the two most likely people to be on the 1608 01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 1: ballot are both going to be eighty something years old. 1609 01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,400 Speaker 1: Should they serve that term in office. Let that sink 1610 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: in because while many people may not want that, they're 1611 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 1: not actively involved in the political process, especially with the 1612 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,760 Speaker 1: Republican base. You have to win a primary. There is 1613 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,280 Speaker 1: not one shred iota of evidence that they give a 1614 01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: damn at all about you being young, about you being new. 1615 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,639 Speaker 1: What they care about, yeah, you're high yels. I don't 1616 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,759 Speaker 1: think they particularly, They don't never seem to have care before. 1617 01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,320 Speaker 1: What they do care about is your ability to piss 1618 01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 1: off the press and the Republican establishment. Now that's why 1619 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis has actual chance, because the press hates him, 1620 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,599 Speaker 1: and look, the Republican establishment not so much, but at 1621 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:12,679 Speaker 1: least they haven't come out, you know, full force behind 1622 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: him yet. That's why Trump won the election. So look, 1623 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 1: she doesn't have a chance. This will be a fun 1624 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,559 Speaker 1: way to watch Paul Singer waste his money, you know, 1625 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,920 Speaker 1: I guess you know, at least it will go into 1626 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:25,759 Speaker 1: the hands of well healed political consultants here in Washington. 1627 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 1: But it's pathetic and we will only likely see more 1628 01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,799 Speaker 1: of this as Tim Scott and all the Mike Pompeio 1629 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 1: and all these other narcissists think that any of us 1630 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 1: care about them at all. Well said, all right, okay, 1631 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:38,599 Speaker 1: I see you later.
