Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Terrible timing because it was the day. No, it was the day before, right? I think he's a total douchebag. I don't like the guy at all. He's yeah, he's the biggest ever. Yeah, he's a he's not funny. Yeah, he's not that funny, and he's a total douchebag. Like his whole, like, you know, Trump is such a misogynist sexist. I'm like, dude, you were you were literally part of the crew that made girls gone wild. What are you talking about? Like, what? That's how you got famous. Like, is that really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:25

Like he was on Girls Gone Wild.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

He was like one of the cameramen or one of the guys that go up and get the girls to flash them.

SPEAKER_02 0:31

What the hell? Only in America, brother. We had the White House correspondence dinner shooting this past weekend. And um the shooter, his name is Cole Thomas Allen. He's 31 from Torrance, California. This guy was apparently highly educated. He didn't have any mental problems. There's no history of that. By all accounts, he's got a good family. And he's got brothers and sisters. They live in a nice home. I mean, I don't know anything about their family, but it all reports say that they seem like a pretty normal family. Say he was saying radicalized things leading up to the event. You know, I don't, I don't know. My my biggest question is, and I don't know if you've seen the video or not, but my biggest question is how did that guy run by those guys and it surprised them? That makes me nervous. That this Secret Service was like, oh shit, what was that? And I that's something I never want Secret Service to say.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

Yeah. I thought the same thing. I saw another video circulating. And I guess they used like they used Cap Cut to make the video a little bit more clear. So they like took the original hotel video and they put it in Cap Cut. Cap Cut. And then yeah, supposed to like crisping up the image or something. But then that's what the White House posted. So on the White House like uh video that went out as like the official video of him running through the hallway, it says Cap Cut AI in the top corner. So now all the people who are like, you know, on the left, like, it's AI, it's clearly fake, it's all stage. This isn't even a real video.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

I'm like, yeah, of course they're gonna jump there. I mean, look, these days anything is possible, but even even I'm not gonna jump there because to be honest, if there's a video that they wanted to put out there and they were gonna do it with AI, I would hope that they didn't put it out like what it was, because to me, it made Secret Service look bad. I I get that they caught the guy. Apparently, there was some level of luck involved with that because it's kind of kind of confusing as to based on what they're saying. Uh, was he tackled? Did he trip? And then people fell on him. Apparently there were five shots fired, not one hit the uh the shooter. So, you know, you have really lacked security where I think they said something like 16 people in succession to be president were at this event. So God knows, God knows uh who the you know the next guy in line that wasn't there. Who is that? I mean, I'm sure if we looked it up, we would be able to figure it out.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Yeah, I don't know who the one of the police officers or the uh secret service guys got shot, right? He didn't stopped it or something.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

Yeah, yeah. He he's apparently released from the hospital, is fine doing fine.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

So Okay. So Linda McMahon is 16th in line. Let's go with 17th. Let's just see. Okay. So it goes president, uh, vice president, speaker of the house, president pro tempora of the Senate.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

I had that in a Chinese restaurant once.

unknown 3:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture. She's above, or he's yeah, okay. Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor.

SPEAKER_02 4:12

He goes way, I mean, it just goes on forever. Please welcome the new president of the United States, the former director of HUD.

SPEAKER_00 4:20

That's actually that's actually above above 17.

SPEAKER_02 4:24

Is it really?

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Yeah, it's number 13.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Okay. Well, either way, it seems pretty irresponsible to have that much, especially in a time of war. Um, this guy Right, like this guy was radicalized somehow, um, but it doesn't appear to be linked to any terrorist or terrorism or uh Hezbollah or you know, anything like that. It just appears to be a lone actor. But you know, how big of a victory would that have been if Iran could have inspired or had some of their operatives show up at this thing, rush in the same manner that that guy did, but let's say there's 20 of them and they're all wearing explosive vests or whatever, yeah. How are you gonna stop that threat? You know?

SPEAKER_00 5:16

You're not like that's that's what le leads credibility to people saying, Oh, it can't be real, because we want to believe that that could never happen. Just some random guy run past all of these people. I mean, but you're right, like if that guy, if that guy was the first one down the aisle or down the hallway and he had a you know, bomb vest on, it wouldn't take, you know, if you got 20 of those guys that are willing to do that, running in one after another, the first guy gets all the Secret Service agents in the hallway with his vest, next guy goes and gets part of the crowd, and they just keep running in a line until they get to the president and take him out. I mean, they're not caring if they get shot anyway. So these people who are like standing on the stage with guns guarding the president, they don't mean anything to those people. They'll just run up to him and if they get shot along the way, they'll push the button as they die.

SPEAKER_02 6:01

Right. Yeah, and I mean, and I g I get, I and I admire actually President Trump's willingness to say, screw the threat, you're not gonna stop how we live or how we conduct ourselves and and all that. I mean, he wanted to stay, even after all of that. He wanted to stay and continue the dinner. And um, you know, it makes sense that law enforcement said, uh, no, we haven't cleared this place.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Yeah.

unknown 6:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Did you hear when they picked fans up out of the seat? They were like, let's go. And he like kind of hesitated for a second, and the guy just grabbed his shoulders and picked him up, and he was like, Oh, okay, okay. You know, like you can hear in the video, he's like, dude, chill, you know.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Yeah, I'm sure that it's pretty jarring, you know, whenever you are in this role of importance in leadership, and suddenly people are tossing you around like a ragdoll. Yeah. Um, you know, and and it I was watching it too, and you know, not during the event, who would, but um I was watching it, you know, po uh after the event, and uh everybody is like you can hear dishes current clinking together and people are diving under tables, and Donald Trump and Melania and the people up on the stage are they're not even really reacting. And I can see how, you know, in a loud dinner venue, plates clacking together, maybe somebody dropped a pile of dishes or you know, whatever. But it it just seemed like had that been a more aggressive attack that it would have been without Butler worse. Yeah. You know, I don't I can't I what drives me up the wall is how did they not learn any lessons from Butler? I mean, maybe there were people in the in the uh agencies and all that stuff that were friendly to Biden at that time. Well, I mean, he was the president at that time.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

I just don't see how they could have like I mean, I don't know anything about the venue. I know that the actual um where they held the White House correspondents' dinner, the the the ballroom that they were in is actually subterranean. It's like in the basement of this building. So this so anybody could walk in off the streets that's just at this hotel and you know that's what he did. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what he did. So like that's you know, I know that Trump, like there's some I'm not incredibly naive and and you know, would just like put it aside that it's a it's a possible false flag or or something like that, like all the people on the all the conspiracy theorists on the left are saying, but I because only because Trump came out and was like, well, this is why we need a ballroom. I was like, it's kind of weird that you've been pushing for a ballroom for for like a year now.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

He's building a legacy. As a man, I totally, totally get that. Maybe it was bad timing to bring it up maybe uh uh you know a day or two later, but that's not Trump's style. But either way, with all these events, number one, it's an embarrassment that we've used um canvas tents in the past. Number two, you need to give the Secret Service better room to work, a more secured environment. And not only that, but the the build the burden of building this ballroom is not on the taxpayers. Right. He's he's he has it funded by private donors on. Now, what those don't uh what those donations get you, uh I don't know. You know, it is politics, so there's always some level of just touching against corruption, you know?

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Yeah. Or diving right into it, you know, either way.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

Right. So, you know, it's like, okay, well, Hunter Biden sold paintings, Trump took donations for a ballroom. You know, I'm not saying they're the same, but it would be interesting to know who's donating what and what had they what is the benefit. Does your name get put on a plaque and you're commemorated forever? If that's the case, then I get it.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

But did you see that they're redoing the Lincoln pool? That pool is like, I think it's only like a foot or two deep or something like that, but it's like 2,000 feet long and like 160 feet wide or something like that. Anyway, the the pool is um like was built in like 1920 or something, 1922. I can't remember what year it was built in, but they're gonna they're gonna redo it. They need they have to redo it because it's leaking water through the bottom of the pool and it drains like every year. They have to just keep filling it back up. They called in some people to look at it, and they were like, Well, we can you know come in and we can fix all the grout and we can replace all the granite. So Trump's like, I'm gonna call a builder who builds my swimming pools. And that guy comes back and he's like, we can patch all of the grout and we can cover this in like a basically like a plaster or a texture, and then we can you know make it any color you want. We we can make it like American blue, like American flag blue, like a dark navy blue, and uh it's got a 30 or 40 year span, it'll take us two weeks to do it, we'll do it for 1.5 million. And Trump's like, yeah, we're gonna do we're gonna do that. The other thing was $300 million is gonna take three years, and you know, no, we're gonna go for one point five million dollars in two weeks, and we'll be back to back to it was probably one point five million the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 11:08

It's possible. $300 million is a lot of money for a pool. Exactly. I mean, they they say they get a quote, and then oh, okay, well, let's allocate $300 million, we'll pay the million five, and then you get a million, and you get a million, and hey, probably a million two.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Yeah, exactly. He was like he found out the guy building the three hundred million dollar one was a Democrat donor, and he's like, nah, we're gonna go with my buddy John.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

They're also wanting to build, I think it's a hundred and sixty foot um arch, you know, like the the arch that is in press.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

Oh you're talking about the one that's got two towers in the arch between the towers?

SPEAKER_02 11:48

Yes, yeah. Apparently they want to put a hundred and sixty foot tall tower like or arch like that. Now I'm cool with all that, as long as it's not being taken from the taxpayer. Not that a single dime uh somewhere in Washington, D.C. I I don't know exactly where, but um anyway, I I'm good with all those things being built. You know, our capital should be amazing and all that, as long as there's not one red penny coming from the taxpayer. I don't I don't want my taxes going to that. I don't want my taxes going to hell, I don't want taxes.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

Yeah. I don't I don't want taxes at all. Just get rid of taxes.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

Period. I mean, if we can if we can uh you know, like like we've talked about in the past, back before World War I. Just before World War 11. That's what I was gonna say. You you took my line. You took my line.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Don't worry, we're almost to World War 111.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

Exactly. Apparently they uh uh they raided the guy's house, they found a manifesto. Um, I haven't seen the manifesto yet. Um maybe we can do an update at another time about what that manifesto says. Um, but apparently it was pretty wild. We don't we still don't know anything about the butler shooter. Um, the transgender female that shot up a Christian school, we still haven't seen her manifesto that I'm aware of. What are they what are they trying to protect us from? Like we're we're kids, we can't, you know, we can't come to our own conclusions. The thing is they don't want us to come to our own conclusions. They want it to either be a mystery. I think sometimes they stoke conspiracy theories for distraction. And then they come out and they rebuke it, no, it's conspiracy theories. And um, you know, like uh another thing I I've been noticing a pattern, especially after this shooting, I've been noticing on the mainstream media that that they've been saying, oh, you know, all these podcasters and all these people out there, they're just saying everything and they say what they want, and there's no there's no restriction, you know, they just they're not held accountable, they're not paid to know facts.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

In parallel to that, I have seen the exact same thing happen from both conservatives and uh liberal podcasters. Like I like a lot of the conservative podcasters and I listen to them, but I'll listen to like Matt Walsh and then I'll change the you know podcast I'm listening to and I'll go to Ben Shapiro or whatever. They're saying the same thing. Switch it, go to Tucker Carlson, same thing. Go to Candace, same thing. It's all the it's like, and I know that they're kind of doing what we're doing. They're like reading, you know, looking over what happened the day before, and then they're kind of giving their two cents on it. At the same time, like some of the topics that they bring up are like months old. And you're like, why is everybody talking about this thing? This one guy said six months ago. And if you look on the liberal side of it, it's the exact same thing. It's like the same media that is sending, or the same agency, probably CIA, that's sending out media talking points to the mainstream media also has certain podcasters like on the dole.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

You know, well, uh Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have gone off the deep end. They they're saying some crazy stuff that, you know, the the the uh whoever is doling out the cash um is clearly in charge because they are going from, yeah, you're making some good points to you are freaking crazy.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Yeah. Are you saying that they're on the take or they're they're against everyone else and everyone else?

SPEAKER_02 15:32

100%. I think that Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are, I don't want to say on the take, because that implies something illegal. But what I do want to say is that they are being paid big dollars from somebody because Tucker Carlson rides this, this, uh, this line of I'm I'm a red-blooded American and I think that we should shoot tobacco and hunt, and I I got a cabin and I do this and that. And then, you know, and he talks, you know, at some time sometimes good, you know, in reference to the Bible and Jesus. And then he just goes off and says crazy things that I mean he's he's really attacking Israel. And I, you know, I don't, you know, I I know how we both feel about, you know, we are commanded to help or be there for Israel in in in the Bible. However, Israel is not necessarily a country in that context. Israel is a is a people. But as far as governments go, Tucker Carlson could be right. There could be nefarious things going on with it's a government. Of course, that Israel has nefarious things going on just because they're Israel and they're God's chosen people, doesn't mean that they're making the right decisions. I mean, you know, so they're out there spewing all these things that to me it's such, and this is strictly my opinion, and I don't even I don't know it for a fact. I haven't researched it, I don't know. But the way they flip and flop or go so hard, it it just tells me that either they're legitimately crazy and they've gone off the deep end and they've ran out of things to shock people with, so they're just trying to get listeners clicks or likes, which is possible, or there is the other option of they are getting paid. There is um I've heard, I don't know if it's true, it's alleged. May not even be alleged. I may have heard a lie, but I heard it nonetheless that Tucker Carlson is partnered with some uh some somebody in the Arabic world from one of the Arabic countries. I partnered maybe a strong word, sponsored maybe, I don't know. Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

So I saw his. Did you see his um I kind of believe the guy, man? Like terrible timing, because it was the day, no, it was the day before, right? I think he's a total douchebag. Like, I don't like the guy at all.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

He's yeah, he's the biggest hypercred ever.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Yeah, he's a he's a he's not that funny, and he's a total douchebag. Like his whole, like, you know, Trump is such a misogynist sexist. I'm like, dude, you were you were literally part of the crew that made Girls Gone Wild. What are you talking about? Like, what? That's how you got famous. Like Is that really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Like he was on Girls Gone Wild.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

He was like one of the cameramen or one of the guys that would go up and get the girls to flash them.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

Only in America, brother.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Yeah, he was like, he was part of the Girls Gone Wild crew. So for him to come on now on TV and be like, oh, I'm, you know, Trump's Trump's such a misogynist, like, give me a break, dude. But on this particular comment that he made, he made the comment the night before the attempted assassination, and his comment was, according to him, referencing the fact that Melania is younger than Jimmy Kimmel and Trump is like 80. So he's basically saying, like, you know, you look like an expectant widow because your husband's getting old and he's gonna croak, which is not any funnier, really, but I don't think that he like had insider knowledge that there was gonna be an assassination attempt.

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Well, you know, yeah, but here's the thing, here's where I disagree with you. All right. If I if I run around and I tell everybody that I know, let's say um there's a guy named Joe Willikers, um, and I go around telling everybody that I'm pissed at Joe and that I'm gonna kill that SOB one day. Um, you know, and I just say this all the time. And then Joe, Joe Willikers pops up dead. Okay. Well, maybe I didn't really mean what I was saying. I didn't kill him. I wasn't trying to get somebody to kill him. I have no association with it at all. But people are gonna look at me and go, I mean, he's been singing for a while.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean I don't disagree with that.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

Yeah, I don't believe, I don't believe that he is smart enough, honestly, to disagree either. Like he's right, exactly. And so, yes, he made an off-color joke. Yeah, the timing of it was bad. Do I think that he inspired this guy? No. I I don't think that he inspired the shooter. But collectively, all of these people, uh Stephen Colbert, uh Jimmy Kimmel, all the people on all the news stations that call him a Nazi and he's you destroying democracy and all that.

SPEAKER_00 20:33

Right. So he's a piece of the collective.

SPEAKER_02 20:34

Yeah, he's part of the problem. Do I think that the idiots on the view uh had you know helped to do this? No. But do I think that they hold some some uh liability? Uh I I do. And if I was running around saying that, you know, some president or whatever, something should happen to that person or just anybody and I get a bunch of other people to say it, it's it's kind of like this. I was thinking about this the other day. If you you know, we have freedom of speech, we should be able to make jokes, we should be able to say anything we want. But we actually can't example one. We go, and this may be this may be the only example. So, example airports, if you yell the word bomb in an airport, you're going to be arrested, you're going to be probably charged with inciting violence and all this other stuff. Now, let's take that up to the highest level. The United States president, and you have all these people out there saying he's a fascist, we're at war, we're in a time of war. Um, you have entertainers holding up chopped off heads of of uh Donald Trump, and you have uh, you know, Snoop Dogg acting like he's shooting Trump in the head. And you know, all these things have been going on for years, but they accumulate, and then people get there are stupid guys. Crazy people out there that will act on this stuff. So if there's if you and I were sitting here every day telling people to go do violent things and then they do, we should be held accountable for that. We we are part of the problem.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

And so I don't know if I agree. Like I I kind of I definitely get what you're saying, but I don't know if I agree in the fact or in the sense that we should be held accountable for their actions. It's kind of like when like a kid goes and shoots up a school and they're like, Why aren't the parents held accountable? Because the kid shot up the school, not the parent. You know, like there's that one where the guy gave the parent gave the son the gun and was like, if they start bullying you, you can shoot him. And he killed like 11 people, and you're like, okay, that's a different story. But that, you know what I mean? Like, but every every kid that goes in and shoots up a school, not their, you know, their parents aren't necessarily the problem. I kind of feel the same way, but I I definitely agree with what you're saying. There should be some level of accountability, maybe not like going to jail or something. But I was looking in um when when Reagan got shot. Did you you may have seen this on social media, um, but it was circulating today. But when Reagan got shot and he was uh I don't remember exactly where he was when he got shot, but he was out in front of that same hotel. Was it in front of that same hotel? Was it for the was it for that um I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

I I I I don't know, but I don't think so. But that's he was shot coming out of that same hotel.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

Okay, so going coming out of that hotel, he gets shot, and then that night, whatever the event was, I don't remember what it was, but there was some event put on by Hollywood that was uh going to be hosted by Johnny Carson, and it was supposed to go on live that night, and then they they didn't air it. The next night, Johnny Carson opened up the event and said, we postponed the event last night because we thought that the country had received some terrible news. We're here tonight to host the event at the request of the president, and he requested that we uh bring a TV into his room. Uh also he recorded a um he recorded a speech that we were going to air at last night event, last night's event. He's requested that we go ahead and air that. Anyway, that my whole point of telling this story is to say that there used to be like a reverence from Hollywood for the the office of the president, and now they would never postpone even a sitcom because of an attempted assassination. You know what I mean? Like I'm sure on all of the Fox News networks and the CNN news networks, they probably you know stopped whatever the normal broadcast was, but you didn't really see anything about it on like regular TV, you know?

SPEAKER_02 24:43

It's like a whole is exactly why everybody is going to social media for their news.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

Exactly. Yeah. I mean, after the the like initial chaos, there was like a couple of people who were like had like a live feed of the event going on their social media feed, and you could see people like walking around. Like I saw one lady um who I've seen several times now on social media because I'm not the only one that caught it, but she was like grabbing bottles of wine and champagne and like sticking them in her jacket, like off these tables, and like there was a guy there was one lady that caught guzzling it, just just holding the bottle of wine up, guzzling it. I saw I saw a guy that was going around like taking full glasses and drinking them and walking to the next table and drinking them, just like, dude, these people are all hammered. Like, this is the people who are influencing our countries, a bunch of alcoholics and corrupt politicians.

SPEAKER_02 25:35

It uh it it was, I'm sure it was a chaotic scene. Um, I I think my biggest most notable thing from it was that the sec the Secret Service guy, when the guy ran by, was totally shocked. The video, it looks like he's looking right at him. He's like Which if you like, if you if you were looking right at him, couldn't you just stick your leg out and trip him?

SPEAKER_00 26:00

Yeah, no joke. But he got all the way past, and then everybody's like, oh, hey, hey, whoa, wow. Yeah, would you stop him? And then like 14 of them are like, I mean, you can't see what happened off the camera, but there's like 14 that come into the frame and they're all walking with their guns drawn, pointed at him like super slow, and you're like, what the hell are y'all doing? By the way, who's the guy that fired five rounds and didn't hit anything? I think it was the guy that was startled. It looked to me like he fired like immediately, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_02 26:29

You know, I get I get that most people would probably be startled by a guy sprinting past you, not the Secret Service.

SPEAKER_00 26:37

Yeah. That's kind of your whole job. Did you see the one guy, though? There was one Secret Service agent that runs in when he, I guess, is in the hallway and he knows that there's a threat. He runs in, jumps up on the stage, and runs and stands in front of Trump. I I saw some of the uniform guys. This no, this guy was in a in a tux, like black tie. He but he's clearly Secret Service because he runs, he runs and he stands in front of Trump and he goes, he does this, and then he reaches behind him and pulls his gun out. Like, so he like, well I don't know who he was hearing on us, but he could hear that there was a threat, you know, and like when he he was standing there in front of him and and blocking him from potential fire while the rest of the agent, those, those two agents that were in like full um combat gear, you know, that came onto the stage with the assault rifles and the helmets and stuff, those guys hadn't made it to Trump yet. This was like before they got over to him. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

But anyway, I thought it was kind of there's a lot of conspiracies popping up because this guy is holding a note. He's sending a signal like that's the mentalist guys.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

He was the entertainment a show.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

Right. So anyway, I guess more to come on that. Let's uh let's move on to the mighty representative from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, who recently had a speech, and she said that not since World War 11 have we seen whatever the hell she was talking about. Everybody obviously is stuck on the World War XI. Now, I I can see, I mean, if I'm just being like a not a hater, I can see how somebody could look at something real fast. Maybe they're thinking about something else, and they would say, uh, World War 11. But it seems like the next thought would go, no, I'm sorry, World War II. Yeah. But it didn't even occur to her.

SPEAKER_00 28:31

No, she just kept going. Just she doesn't make it evident that she doesn't even know not just our history, world history. Like and she's not good at at math or Roman numerals. Like, I don't know. Last week she she lost, you know, uh $29 million of her net worth because she doesn't know how to add, apparently. And this week she can't read numbers that are in Roman numerals. It's like, oh, I'm okay.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

I made $100,000 last year and take out the adjusted income. $30 million. Um Rick James. Anyway, there's really not much more to say about that other than uh She dumb. But anyway, um, but so that kind of ties us into the final thing that I wanted to talk about today, and that is the raids on the uh Learing Center and others in Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00 29:24

Uh, they're raiding them?

SPEAKER_02 29:26

Yeah, they started raids. Uh, I think it was yesterday, could have been a day before, but they did do it. Did they find any kids? Uh no, I don't know. No, not so much not not much layer layering going on there. Um and so they have you know apparently taken documents and all this stuff. Cash Patel's come out and said, you know, we're we're gonna do, you know, everything's gonna be a good thing.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

If they come out and say there was nothing wrong, I've lost all faith.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

I don't think that that'll be the case. I think that there will be charges. There might be a few low-level people that that go, you know, that get arrested or you know, charged or whatever, but I think it's gonna be the same old song and dance. We're going to do these raids, we're going to gather evidence, and this is going to result in some congressional hearings, and bam, news cycle changed, and that is what's going to happen. I guarantee that's my prediction.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

I don't think that you're wrong on that, and that's what I'm worried about. But uh, I mean, on the other hand, though, you know, he was he was like, you know, Jasmine Crockett's gotta go, and then they read through the districts, and now she's out of a job. So maybe I mean Ill uh whatever her last her first name is, Omar, she needs to go too. Her and uh that other bug eye brother, her brother husband. Oh, yeah, her brother, husband, and her should probably both leave. But I was talking about the uh Rashida to leave.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

Yes. She needs to go. But that I and I think that that that time is coming. I think that she's deeply uh ill on Omar. I think she's deeply involved in this fraud. I think that she probably did benefit and make thirty million dollars through this fraud and is somehow trying to now make it disappear like it was never true.

SPEAKER_00 31:14

Yeah. She was living under the uh, you know, you're not gonna get me for tax evasion. I'll report it all. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

And then then then what happens if they, you know, the they can bring people on charges, they can uh put them in jail, but how many billions of dollars have already funnel out that we'll never see again? And that's really my biggest problem is yeah, they need to be held held accountable, they need to be put in jail, but the taxpayer isn't going to get the money back, the country isn't gonna get the money back. So I that I'm not saying don't do anything because of that. I'm just saying, you know, the money's gone. And I think really where if you follow the money is where this investigation grows. It's too big to investigate. I think all a lot of this is political theater. I think it is just like I said, like look at us, we're doing raids and this and that, and you might see some perp walks and handcuffs and and all that, but ultimately we'll have some hearings, and then something else is going to happen in the news cycle, and we're not going to hear anything of there's not going to be any high-level heads chopped off from this investigation.

SPEAKER_00 32:24

But it did make me feel a little bit warm and fuzzy that it could happen. So I'll read it to you. It says on April 24th, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice under the Trump administration formally announced the addition of firing squads as a permitted method of execution for federal death row inmates. This policy shift is part of a broader expedited effort to ramp up federal capital punishments, which also include the reauthorization of single drug lethal injections and the potential use of the electrocution chair and gas chambers.

SPEAKER_02 32:53

So they want to put executions on turbo?

SPEAKER_00 32:56

Yep. Especially federal execution. So what I'm thinking is like if you if you actually got accused of treason and convicted at a federal level, they would literally just be able to march you out and shoot you.

SPEAKER_02 33:06

Treason is not a charge they use anymore. That is that is obvious because you have you can call it sedition, you can call it treason. It's all the same thing. And you have people that are in elected positions, Mark Kelly, Jason Crow, the other few buddies of theirs, and probably a lot more that are out there trying to undermine the success of the country. And if that isn't treason, then nobody will be charged with treason. I guarantee it. Because it it just won't. And and so, you know, they can I I just don't see the I really truly believe that the depths of where all this money was going and the pockets that were lined from it is probably so incredibly deep that we will never, ever, ever know, and we won't ever know where the money went. Even if there's like I said, there'll be the they're probably guilty, but there'll be the patsies, the patsies that go on trial, and you know, this person here was in charge of this. It won't be Elon Ober.

SPEAKER_00 34:10

I think that's the reason that uh that um Elon's not in the cabinet anymore, honestly, because I think he saw that nothing was gonna change. I think he saw nothing was gonna change when he saw. I mean, because with his AI and the connections that the Federal Reserve that the government has and things like that, he could tap into literally every bank account in the country with the right AI and be like, well, this is exactly where the money went. And then they're like, Oh, damn, I know that guy. Oh, nah, we're not gonna release that, you know?

SPEAKER_02 34:41

Same with the Epstein files. Yep. We're we're all gonna be kept in the dark. It takes me to this legislation that was they're trying to pass to shut down people like Nick Shirley and other independent quote journalists. And then you you start seeing major news outlets talk bad about podcasters, which by the way, almost all of them have a podcast of their own. And they're saying, oh, well, we're we're not the media's not contributing to this, even though they're individually saying it, like CNN will say, Oh, well, Fox is doing that, and Fox will say CNN is doing that, and all the others. But for them to try to shut down people like Nick Shirley and and others, even people like us, they don't want us out here talking and re reporting news that they like the other day, there was a principal in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma. I say the other day, yeah, he tackled uh a would-be school shooter, he's a hero, and uh it came on uh Fox News and I was talking to my wife, you gotta come see this. It's because it's Oklahoma, so we're always gonna go, oh um, and she walks over to the TV and she's like, Yeah, that was like three weeks ago. Because she always you know watches or looks for news on X and all that stuff. And in my mind, in the past, I've been like, social media, nah, whatever. It's not news until it's news. Yeah. And and and then we're f-before it's news. Exactly. And we're seeing uh big time reporters on all the evening shows and the afternoon shows and all that talking and reporting the news stories, and it's almost verbatim what is being said on social media.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Have you seen like some of these in the news guys? Like I saw Brett Bear popped up on like my Facebook or TikTok or something, and it's his like personal account, right? And he's got like these like he's walking from his car into the studio, and he's like, big news today, guys, make sure you tune in. And he's just kind of like it's like his own personal brand or whatever, but he's trying to get into the podcast world, and I'm like, I'm looking at all these news anchors that are doing this, and I'm thinking you're just trying to get in because you see the end of the of your of your train, you know, it's not like the media is not of any use to anyone anymore. And I mean, I mean, we're not either. I'm not like we're not we're not Nick Shirley, we're not going out doing investigative journalism, but um, there are guys out there like Nick Shirley that are going and getting actual news stories and reporting them live on the ground, and now it's it's making the media look bad for not catching the story, or the media is like, well, yeah, we knew that was going on, but like we're you know, well they're we're told not to report on that.

SPEAKER_02 37:27

Yeah, because they're mad because they have these controlling authorities, their lawyers, their producer, you know, they're the owners of the state the of the media companies or whatever, they're gonna tow the line. They're going to be the propaganda tool that whatever administration or party is in charge, that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna tow the line. Why? Because they're being paid probably billions with a B to toe the line. And when it comes to these journalists, you know, with journalism and credentials and all this stuff, they they want they want to report on something that they think is a good story or whatever, and they're told, okay, great, yeah, but we need to let it play out. We need to um, you know, vet our sources and we, you know, all this stuff, where those of us on social media don't necessarily have to do that. Now, you could say on one hand, that makes us not credible. And when I say us, I mean creators, podcasters, you know, whatever. Um, you know, we we like to talk and do all this stuff, and but we are trying to also get legitimate stories out there and just provide our opinion on it. Um, but but they have to wait. So they used to be like the only source of news. So they could report on things, and it makes me think like all the stories that we got before social media and all that, how old were they? Were they days old? Were they weeks old? You know, the big things like um 9-11, of course, that's live, like that's happening. But other stories in the past, how long did it take? Because we can't be Yeah, we don't have any idea how long ago it happened.

SPEAKER_00 39:01

Yeah. Right. That that principal you're talking about, he's already been like gone through the whatever surgeries, fixed up at the hospital, he's back on his feet. They made him the homecoming king. I don't know if you saw that or not.

SPEAKER_02 39:12

Yeah, it was uh they made him prom king.

SPEAKER_00 39:15

Yeah, prom king. But it was like, um, you know, I mean, all of that happened before Fox ever even aired that it happened, you know, and they actually probably the only major news entity that shed him in a good light because he stopped an active shooter. Um Right. But you know, anyway, it's just yeah, you're right. They they were like two or three weeks behind when it actually happened, which makes you realize you can't really trust them.

SPEAKER_02 39:38

Right. And and so now, when now I'm looking for myself, because I used to rely on my wife to, you know, she would say, Oh, well, look, this just came, oh, this is interesting. I'm like, no, it hasn't been on TV, you know, so it's probably not real. It's probably AI. And literally, I've been right maybe 2% of the time, because sometimes she does get, you know, pulled into uh stories that look real that I'm like, nah, there's no way. And then she researches a little and goes, Oh, okay, yeah, you're right. But most of the time, it's dead on, and it's old news by the time it gets to Fox and all that stuff. So they hate it because, well, who's this random person, this rando guy out here saying stuff?

SPEAKER_00 40:18

It almost makes you think that there's like a little bit of truth to the conspiracy theories surrounding, you know, Charlie Kirk and um the Butler Pennsylvania shooting. Like, I'm not saying that either one of those are staged or fake or anything like that, but it does make you kind of wonder when something like that happens. I mean, obviously it's a high-profile figure, it's a big story. Maybe that's because maybe that's why the media jumps on it, but the media was on that, those stories within, you know, 30 minutes. They had cameras like that. Uh was it CBS or ABC? Somebody had a camera at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, and it was the first time that they had ever covered a Trump rally. They had never been at any Trump rally before that. Yeah. And they had a camera at that rally. It's like that's a bit suspicious, you know.

SPEAKER_02 41:02

I really think that there is a level of, you know, the the the media will criticize conspiracy because it's not fact-based or it's, you know, being dreamed up or whatever. But I think they also use conspiracy to distract from, you know, like they they don't put out conspiracies themselves, but they report it in a way or the information is distributed in a way to where there's gaps. And anytime where there's a gap in the story, people are going to try to fill in the information and they're gonna jump to conclusions. And and it turns out that a lot of these conclusions that are being jumped to in the past are right or have some level of truth to them. So um, either way, I think that this is just a it's a new technology, it's something that's developing, but I can see a world where they start censoring people, even like us, who are just talking about the stories that are out there, offering our opinions. So, anyway, those are the stories today. Uh the there's a lot of craziness going on, obviously. We'll see what happens with all this. If you've made it to this part of the video and you like what we're doing, please like, follow, and share, and uh give us some feedback. Let us know what you think. So, for now, we are out of here.
