What's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of the Julian Dory podcast.
I am Julian Dory.
And I'm Joey, Dave. How you're doing?
How you done?
All right, Dief, we got two pretty big podcasts coming this week.
Bigums.
Bigums.
Bigums.
I'm not saying who and all that, but we do have two very good ones coming during the week.
You might be able to guess what it's on.
I'll leave it at that.
I think there's three episodes dropping this week, but the first two will be on that.
And they're going to be entertaining.
So keep your eyes open for that.
But we have a smorgasbord today.
A lot of different things, Steve, a lot of things, you know, flying through the air this week.
It's the weekend.
Right?
It is the weekend.
But obviously, Anthony Fauci was up there pleading the fifth using his Fifth Amendment, right?
He vouched up.
Yeah, we'll be talking about that.
certainly just very, God, gives me bad memories, bad memories of a different era, seeing him up
there. But we'll go through some of that. There is some interesting continued surveillance state
stuff coming out as well. I also saw James Lee, dug a little deeper on the flock stuff. So I want to
hit that as well. And, you know, the Iran war is going awesome. Of course. Things are just incredible.
You know, the updates, there's nothing to worry about, which which is great. So we'll go through all
the great news on that this week. And also, Lindsey Graham has now been buried. So he is
fair game to discuss as he is in the news because he gave some pretty unprecedented behind
the scenes footage, access, you could say, to CNN to document him and his excitement over the
Iran War. And I'd said that a couple weeks ago. When someone dies right away, obviously, like,
that's a serious thing. I respect that. And then, you know, once the cycle of that has been respected,
if you are a historical or man of the moment that deserves criticism, you are fair games.
So just before warned on that, that is how I look at that.
But also, Dave, Jared Kushner, finding his way into business deals again.
You know that he's trying to allegedly get a piece of FIFA now.
You aware of this?
No, I didn't know that.
I'm going to make you aware of this.
I'm going to make you aware of this.
Tremendous.
Yeah.
And Jared Letto is in the news.
I saw that.
phenomenal. I didn't see that one coming.
Yeah. You know, phenomenal, just more great stuff than alleged of people.
Yeah. I don't know what to think anymore. There's something every goddamn week.
But as a small note from last week, I did have a chance to talk to Jack Neal, who did that, I guess we can call it the Dead Man Switch podcast with Andrew Tate.
That was about three hours and 21 minutes that he put out when Andrew Tate got arrested. They recorded it in May.
most of my conversation with Jack, I'm treating his off the record.
What I will say that is already publicly available that was kind of confirmed through him
is that this just kind of came together back when I guess he had Andrew Tate on a show
like a couple years ago.
So he had been with Andrew Tate earlier this spring.
And Andrew Tate was just like, you know, let's record a podcast in case something happens.
And then something happens.
So Jack hit the button and there you have it.
It was.
Defe made me live.
listened to it on the way of the shore last week. I called him right when I was getting in the car.
He's like, you got to listen to that podcast. So I did listen to it on 1.5 speed. That was an interesting
experience. Yeah, I can't imagine that. Yeah, I want to imagine. I will say this about Andrew
Tate. He didn't stutter for the whole three hours, 20 minutes. I mean, it was, that was
interesting to me. Like, he did not fucking stutter once, just kind of gone through the story. But he's
Certainly an interesting listen.
And as I said, like, the allegations are serious.
So if they turn out to be completely fake, obviously we'll say that.
If they turn out to be completely true, fry them.
But we'll monitor that as information comes in.
There's not a ton right now.
But certainly interesting times, Joey Deef, interesting times.
As always.
As always.
Hey, guys, if you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review.
They're both a huge huge help.
Thank you.
But let's let's start out with Fauci, you know.
He gave the Senate a lot of information, a lot of information that it's going to be very
useful to them to try to figure out what happened during COVID.
But, you know, the thing about Anthony Fauci that from the very beginning, this was a guy,
like, you could ask my mom about this.
This was a dude that I was cringed out by the end of March 2020.
The thing about him is this fucking guy loves the spotlight.
He loved being a celebrity.
He, you know, with some of the information we were able to get from his emails and his fucking diary,
I don't even know what's going on there.
Like, he apparently had a diary and they got access to that.
Like, he was constantly pushing for awards and stuff.
He loved being on, you know, the Colbert Report or whatever the fuck it was called on CBS and telling everyone to stay.
inside and stay away from each other.
And, you know, it's a real indictment on him as a person, the excitement and attention
grabbing that he would do while people were losing their lives out there, literally.
Like I mean that not just like there were people dying, but there were also a lot of people
dying because their whole life had been taken away from them.
Their businesses, their jobs.
You know, how many people got addicted to things because they lost everything in their life because they were forced to fucking stay home forever and not socially interact with people?
How much did every generation, but particularly the younger generations, lose in human interaction during that time period when they couldn't fucking go to school and be around other people?
We are going to see the reverberating effects of that for decades to come.
We've already seen some, but like that is going to be, for all the wrong reasons, a very interesting psychological human experiment on, you know, how different generations interact with each other on the basis of the fact that so many of their formative years were ripped from them.
But, you know, it's also an indictment on Italians holding power.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like every time we get a taste of it.
Not a good look.
We just, we just run, we run one.
Cuomo, Fauci.
Listen, we don't claim these guys, though.
I know, but hey, it's not great.
It's not, it's not good.
It's not great.
It's not good.
You need to stay home.
Stop the spread.
You blew it, dude.
Blew it.
Fucking Fauci.
But, you know, when you get up there and you just plead the fifth to every question,
do we have the clip?
I don't know if we did this one, Dief.
Do we have the clip of one?
Josh Hawley was like asking him basic questions.
Yes.
He's like, all right, let's pull that up.
This was fucking good.
He's just a, he's trying to get Fauci to say anything that's not the same statement of on the advice of counsel.
I'm using, I'm exercising my rights under the Constitution to take the fifth or whatever the fuck he said.
All right, let's play this.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Well, nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc?
Let's try something.
Oh, no.
What day of the week is it today?
On the divisive counsel,
I respectfully declined to answer
based upon my rights
under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
What color tie you're wearing?
I'm going to look at him like.
On the advice of counsel,
I respectfully declined to answer
based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment
to the Constitution.
What colors the carpet in front of you?
Don't worry about it.
On the advice of counsel,
I respectfully decline to answer.
Can my lawyers out there,
Tell me what the value of him not answering those questions would be.
Because you've been pardoned, as you very well know, as a Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more,
Brown versus Walker 1896.
When he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege.
You know that.
Your lawyer is sitting behind you now shifting nervously in their chairs.
They know it.
This isn't about the Constitution.
This isn't about the law.
This is about contempt.
Contempt for this body and contempt for the American people.
but I think I know why you're doing it.
It's because you don't want to answer questions.
It's because you did all kinds of terrible things.
It's because during the pandemic, you got rich, didn't you?
You got rich while people were dying, hundreds of thousands of Americans, over a million in the end.
And you were getting rich.
And not only were you doing that, you were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you,
personally, cash prizes totaling over a million dollars. You did all of that during the pandemic,
didn't you? Under the advice of counsel. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to
answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Okay. Yeah, is there,
so if he just says like, Senator, the, the floor is fucking, the carpet's blue. And then when he actually
asked him a real question, pleads to fifth, is there anything legally,
I don't know, liable with that?
I'm only well-versed in bird law.
Yeah, not my lane, as you can tell.
But it's like, man, like the fucking memeification of that, bad look, if you're Anthony Fauci.
But it's also like so many people during that era, it really highlighted, unfortunately, the worst of us, right?
The worst of when we go at each other in America over bullshit to where, you know, people
disagreed on how to handle this and all that and then felt like they needed to scream at
each other on on the basis of that if someone else had a different opinion and it was an
unprecedented situation and all that but I think it's pretty clear like the handling was
completely fucked up and the roll out of the vaccine and all that stuff but there there was a
clip of Stephen A. Smith I think we have this one beef talking about Kyrie Irving and as far as I can
tell apologizing to Kyrie for that era, which good on Stephen A. Smith for doing that.
Kyrie Irving, if you don't remember, was very, he did not want to take the vaccine and
had his reasons for that. And he was vilified for it. And Stephen A. Smith at the time, I believe,
called him selfish and was really going at him and, you know, kind of doing like the cringe,
mainstream media stuff, taking out a guy for having a different opinion on things like that. But,
you know there's going to be people who are going to be like yeah the apologies hollow like look
what you did to a guy like this during that era and i understand that but it's better than nothing
i like to give credit words due on people who may have changed their opinions let's let's play this
there were others who had the courage to say bump that one of those people at the forefront
was kairie irving i bring his name up because
I had my issues with him from a leadership standpoint.
Never as a player because he's sensational.
But with him, in terms of leadership,
and I didn't look at it as being courageous.
I looked at it as being selfish.
And I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday.
And the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irvin.
Kyrie Irvin stood out of my mind
because of the heat that he was taken.
And our folks were piling on because that was just the latest transgression in their eyes that he was committing and subjecting the public to.
He refused the vaccine.
New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games.
And he inked and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates.
In my opinion, particularly hindsight wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish.
and made him brave
for his willingness to stand up
and say no I'm not doing that
all right so I I appreciate
Stephen A doing that I also think
when bad things happen
what you don't want to do is then
automatically no matter what
be a 100% contrarian on everything
regardless of evidence because then you fall into the trap
of making the same mistake from the other side
That said, when bad things happen and you are gaslit into something, to not be suspicious
in the future of other things and ask proper questions and probe on those things would be a huge
mistake.
It's literally what we do on this show.
So what I would say to people like Stephen A. Smith and, you know, people who may be looking
to this and going, damn, had this wrong is, okay, great.
In the future, when something happens, I don't know what.
It's just we're living in a strange world, Joseph D. Philippus.
We are. You know, and people have the audacity to maybe have a different opinion. You don't have to
agree with it. Maybe your evidence is a little different, but don't shame them. Don't cancel them.
Don't, don't be a part of the machine that tries to pressure just to make sure that their world views the same.
The beautiful part about living in America should be the fact that we can have different opinions
and exist peacefully and have nice arguments in the public sphere about them without trying to destroy.
people's livelihoods, reputations, et cetera. You know, there's a line with things with basic human
decency for sure. This is not one of them. Having a different opinion on a medical procedure,
if you will, however you want to say it, is not one of them. And I hope that's a lesson people
learn. Because we also saw the White House. I think you have the link, the White House released a
report going through what people were canceled for saying in the spring and summer of 2020. And
even into 2021 and 2022, which is the origins of COVID-19.
And it being a lamb leak.
We all remember the famous clip of John Stewart, of all people.
Shout out to John.
Yeah.
Going on Colbert's show on CBS and doing some incredible stand-up about,
oh, I don't know where the fuck this came from.
The fucking Wuhan laboratory to study COVID and the disease emanated in Wuhan?
No, maybe it was the bats fucking in the background that did it.
And it was like,
Yeah. Everyone remember Stephen Colbert shitting himself to like try to get him to kind of stop, even though it was also hysterical, incredible, incredible stand-up. But Stewart kept going and he reflected an opinion that like a lot of people had and they weren't allowed to talk about. And then you kind of had a guy who had come from the mainstream and John Stewart come out there, do that on a major mainstream platform. And that always felt like a shift to me in society to where some people could actually start saying that again.
But we don't need to go through all the data right now because we have a lot to get to today.
But you guys can check out the link from whitehouse.gov.
I mean, listen, I'm not the one doing the graphic design.
But if we go down, I do want to just cover at least the outline parts right here where they just review what this was.
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature, meaning you didn't eat a fucking bat.
data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans.
This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
Wuhan is the home of China's foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting
gain of function research, gene altering and organism supercharging at adequately, at inadequate
biosafety levels.
Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019,
months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market, which is where,
they were trying to claim it came from. And by nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence
of natural origin, it would have already surfaced, but it hasn't. And then they start to list below
what all that is. And you guys can check that out. But like, I remember Brett Weinstein talking with
Joe Rogan in like June 2020 laying this all out, a scientist. You know, Brett's a brilliant guy.
And people, there were a lot of people like, wow, brave, awesome. Thanks for going through so much
evidence for three hours and then there were a lot of people like fuck you how dare you say this it's
like all we're doing is talking about an origin with a country that's not exactly friends with us by the way
in china no disrespect to the people i'm talking about governments in this case but like you know
it's it feels like it was two decades ago this was not that long ago and it's so long ago
you know again it's like we got to learn from these things i won't hold my breath on that though
yeah i won't hold my breath on that
there was one more
Bernie Moreno went at him
where he talked about
what was the clip where he's
where he's like how fucking dare you
who the fuck do you think you are?
Yeah let's pull this up and then we'll get off this
but you know
these guys finally had their
their shot at this dude to
make some statements again
he's not helping at all just pleading the fifth
but
it's more than we've had
those policies
were put in place because you had moronic politicians
that listened to the words of a megalomaniac
who was more interested in having met a Kardashian
than the suffering of the American people.
And that is you.
Your advice to communities like that
to idiotic politicians who enforce those rules
arrested that mom
for watching a football game
with her own family
outside.
When that story broke,
I said to myself,
I cannot stand idly on the side
and watch this happen.
It was about six years ago today
that I decided
I'm going to give up my businesses,
sell them all, run for office,
run for the United States Senate,
Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?
Well, if it isn't the consequences of my own fucking actions.
Good for him.
Good for him.
I wasn't familiar with that.
What's that guy's name?
Senator Marino.
Yeah.
Wasn't familiar with that backstory, but good for him.
Yeah, Bernie Marino.
That's great.
But the Iran war is still going on.
Yeah.
It's not.
It's popular.
Not reaching it.
It's very popular.
Actually, could we pull that up?
I heard a lot of Americans are really, really into this.
this. I don't know. I guess you guys out there has been cheering on this war. Very, very excited to
get some more boots on the ground, potentially. Another endless Middle East war. That's,
that's what everybody's saying. I don't know. I heard it from Trump. No, they're doing that.
That'll be released. You know what?
They're going to pay a big price. They're getting, they're being decimated. Desimated.
We're winning.
Doesn't feel that way.
Americans are against the war, the reporters saying.
Well, Americans aren't against the war.
We're not against it.
You hear that? You're not against it.
A pole just came out.
Americans don't want high gasoline prices, but they're not against the war.
Yeah, you don't like the high gas.
It just came out loud and clear in a poll.
Loud and clear.
Nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Do you want Iran to have a nuclear weapon?
You know, yeah.
You think it's good?
Go ahead.
In fact, we can pause it right there.
And in fact, it's so funny he's saying that because I remember, you know, the war broke out on February 28th.
And I remember on the 23rd and 24th and 25th, we were out there talking to the people on the streets, doing a man on the street asking them about, you know, what their biggest concerns in the world were in their life.
And every single person to a man and woman said the nation of Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
That was their number one issue.
There was nothing else they cared about.
Many people are saying it.
Now, our poll was like 100%, thief.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
It was the number one issue.
Yeah.
Uh, you hate to see that.
Yeah.
But what's really nice is Benjamin Netanyahu came in to meet with Donald Trump for the fucking eighth time and however long.
And since this second term began.
And I'm sure assured Trump that the war is a valiant effort that's going really important.
I don't know if you saw it.
If he said that according to an interview, Netanyahu said, we straighten it out, referring to him.
referring to him and vice president J.D. Vance.
Oh, that's good. With Jad Vance saying some things. So I don't know if I should take that as like,
you know, Nanyahu walked in and it straightened them out. And so what the fuck you're saying,
boy. He's like straight in the mouth. Or if they just, you know, like buddy, buddy, you know,
little little group hug. I don't know. Hey, come in here. Come in here for some. Come on. Come on. Come back home
to daddy. And suddenly, you know, J.D.'s back on the tea. I don't know. I wasn't there. I wasn't
there, but I'm sure they could bond over ethnically cleansing Lebanon, but you know,
that's neither here nor there.
Very, very popular.
Very, very, very popular.
The war we've won ten times already.
We have won it many, many times.
And the real issue is that now they're hitting us at home, right?
Yeah.
Right?
Now they're hitting us at home.
They're attacking Minnesota water treatment systems.
Hang in there.
You'll see where we're going with this.
It's from the NYT. Is that right, Joey Deef?
Yes, sir.
U.S. sees Iran is likely behind cyber attacks on Minnesota water systems.
Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary.
There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.
So investigators believe a cyber attack this week on dozens of municipal water systems in Minnesota was probably the work of Iranian hackers, according to U.S. and state officials, and others familiar with the matter, a potential act of aggression that comes at a precarious moment in the U.S. war against Iran.
Officials cautioned that they had not definitively determined who was responsible for the attack
and that the preliminary assessment could change as the authorities collected more technical data.
They also warned that the hackers could be attempting to pose as Iran-based in an effort to ratchet up tensions between the two countries.
I wonder who would do that?
Yeah.
Who would ever do such a thing?
I could never guess.
There's no, there's nobody that would, yeah.
I can't think of a candidate.
You know what?
I can see Switzerland doing that.
I could see Switzerland doing that.
You're right.
Switzerland's always just enjoyed being in the middle
and like hitting the button
to watch people fuck each other.
Yeah.
It could totally be Switzerland.
Totally be Switzerland.
But anyway, local officials reported
that the well and treatment plant
in at least one city was temporarily offline on Monday
while other cities in the state
had to use manual workarounds to cope
with attempted attacks on automated operations.
There were no indications
that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.
That's good.
So if you're out in Minnesota, you can keep drinking.
Even with its limited impact,
the hack, if confirmed to be linked to Tehran, comes at a sensitive time in direct fighting between
the United States and U.S., which is resumed in the Middle East. Three state officials briefed on the
investigation into the breach, said the tradecraft views in the absence of a random, ransom demand,
had led analysts to tentatively conclude that it was the work of Iranian hackers. Those
officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a continuing criminal investigation.
Where's the... Where's our one guy?
where the one you're
yeah
we're all good here
John
John says
back to the article
John Israel
I'm sorry
that's a real name
listed in here
John Israel
Minnesota's chief information
security officer
said that hackers
targeted roughly
36 municipal water systems
in the state as part of a breach
that was first detected on Sunday.
At least it wasn't 33.
At least we got that going for us.
The first reports prompted state officials
to warn municipalities with similar vulnerabilities
to be on alert, which enabled a swift response,
Mr. Israel said.
The hackers targeted infrastructure used
to remotely manage and monitor water towers
maintained by municipal governments.
Mr. Israel said that as of Wednesday afternoon,
there had been no indication
that any of the breaches contaminated
or disrupted water delivery.
You know, who wrote this for the New York Times?
You know when they got that name,
whoever this was, Dustin Volta and Ernesto Londano.
They're like, I just got to keep using the Mr. Israel thing.
It's too much fun.
But this comes on the heels of another report.
Let's pull up that second one deep.
The article's the second link right there.
Another report, again, at a really tenuous time,
obviously we saw all footage of everyone pounded up at lindsay graham's funeral you know you had the the
double tap on the casket oh my god the tr we'll pull that up in a minute the trump double tap on
the lindsay graham casket it just it was like it was like perfectly on par with like when he
was basketball shooting paper towels to the hurricane like it's just like you can't help himself
Can you pull up that video?
Yeah.
We'll just cut to that real quick, and then I'll come back to this article.
Trump gives the eulogy for Lindsay Graham.
How we say Graham or Graham?
How do you...
Graham, whatever.
Graham Cracker.
I don't know.
Sometimes it comes out the other way.
I'm a little Graham Cracker.
He gives the eulogy, and then let's full screen this, Steve.
Goes to walk by the casket.
And gives it a good job.
son-down.
Look at the dude in the back, watch him.
Like, what's he going to do?
I know he going to do something.
Bup, bu.
Gone.
Bro.
Oh, my God.
He's the most unintentionally funny person ever.
Even through all the bullshit, it's still funny.
I'll give him that.
He is still fucking funny.
But not the stuff he's doing with the war and all that,
but just like the shit he does.
He is still fucking funny.
But back to this article, this was, obviously we had seen Marco Rubio and Pete Hagseth and Netanyahu all having a great time at the funeral, talking it out.
Certainly some interesting body language on that video, by the way.
You got a little 360 spin from Marco Rubio to see who was watching.
Yeah.
You got Netanyahu turning to each of them like this.
You know, we're going to bomb Iran.
That's what you're doing next.
I don't know if he said that.
Maybe my lip readers out there can go check it out.
But he was speaking English, presumably, for these two.
They're very excited to talk with him. But this was from capital and empire exclusive.
CIA assessment details Israel's race to make the U.S. Israel Alliance irreversible.
This is from Alida Chavez on July 29, 2026. Let's hold on. Israeli officials know they're
losing the American public. Panic that America's political consensus on Israel is collapsing.
They're pursuing a long-term strategy to permanently amesh Israel with America's military
intelligence and defense establishment. It weighs future administrations would struggle to unwind,
according to a new confidential U.S. intelligence assessment.
Israeli officials believe that political fight over Israel in the United States is becoming harder to win.
I wonder what we give them that idea.
And that the era of indefinitely securing billions of dollars in annual military aid is coming to an end,
according to the assessment, which was described to capital and empire by several U.S. officials.
Instead of relying on direct U.S. military aid and increasingly visible and politically contentious form of support,
Israel is racing to embed itself more deeply in America's military intelligence and national security apparatus
and ways designed to outlast future administrations.
The assessment, written primarily by the CIA and circulated this week, describes discussions
about expanding intelligence cooperation and the possibility of hosting a permanent U.S. military base
on Israeli territory.
It also says Israeli officials have been cultivating prominent figures in the American intelligence sector
to build long-term political and financial support for the strategy.
The assessment does not identify those individuals by name.
So, obviously, they're trying to do this.
We've seen this with the Section 219.
which we can talk about in future episode and go through that with some of the votes.
It was very interesting to me, though, Defe, that when we had Tommy G here,
we had to stop the podcast at one point to take a quick break.
And Tommy sat in this seat and got on a scheduled Zoom interview for his upcoming documentary with,
what's his name, Rep Adam Smith?
Yes.
I think.
So he's a Democrat in the House of Representatives.
I forget from which state.
but Adam Smith had
co-sponsored
he's a very A-PAC paid
politician he had co-sponsored
I believe what was at the time section
the bill that included section 224
which brought in a lot of the
integration of
the U.S. and
Israeli military intelligence sharing
and so Tommy G.
interviews him
it did not go well for Adam Smith
Tommy was very ready to go
and he couldn't give a straight answer on why this was in any way good for the American people.
And as a result, Tommy talked about this, but he received an email a day or two later from Adam Smith's office saying as a result of their sit down and discussions with other constituents this week, he has decided to rescind his support for that bill.
And I believe, Dief, correct me if I'm wrong here, he ended up voting against the amended bill, which included Section 219.
correct? Yep. And then I believe APEC pulled off funding for the hundred and some people that
did vote against it. Is that also correct? That is correct. Okay. Good on him. I don't know.
Like maybe he felt really pressure because Tommy kind of bodybagged him. Very nicely, by the way.
Tommy was extremely nice to him. But either way, like literally had co-sponsored the bill and then pulled
it back and said I'm going to remove not only remove.
that but remove support from it.
And that, when you see a report like this, that's another part of the tide shift here.
They're like, obviously like the Israeli government is like, we got a problem.
But it's interesting that that's leaking out from intelligence officials.
Like they're putting this into some of the media because what did they say there in a phrase?
I want to be fair on the phrasing.
They said based on what was read to us or something like that, meaning that capital and empire did not actually see the internal report.
which was described to them. That's the phrase. So what I want to say about that is that there's
also a possibility here that a report exactly as this is being stated here does not actually
exist and isn't circulating. However, it would suggest that there are a lot of intelligence
officials who wish it was and are now leaking this out. Either way, it's a very interesting
dynamic there. And I've talked about that relationship as it's been relayed to me over the years
with people I've talked to who are like in intelligence for a long time.
It was off camera and eventually it has gravitated towards on camera where these guys will
all say on a scale of Bustamante to Kiriaku, which is like total opposites obviously,
they'll all tell you they did not like working with the Israeli intelligence services.
They did not have a good relationship.
So it's always been a kind of a disconnect between that and then the diplomatic relationship
of like the actual government itself and the elected officials who obviously have shown a lot of
support for Israel over the years true thick and thin very very interesting timeline we are living in there
but i said it at the outset lindsay graham had documentary crews following him around at the time
where he was strong one of these strongest advocates and strongly advocating for the iranical
war with Trump. And I want to play the first one. Deef, let's start with that where it says reaction.
Because this is just like, if the devil had a tone, this is what it would be. That's how I'd describe it.
Let's play this. And I think we can make this full screen.
Or make it pretty close to it. Let's just like expand the window or something.
All right, I guess we can't. I'll just try that.
down. Their missile
count is going way down.
No.
Amazingly, they've done to
get me.
I know. I almost cried.
Almost cried.
I mean, like, how long have we been pushing
this?
Yeah.
It's here.
I thought it's here. I thought it's
here. He's born.
Well, he's Jack.
It's the best thing I've ever done.
Best thing I've ever done.
He loves blowing
stuff up.
Trump.
So, you know, there are a lot of people.
people inside didn't want to do it.
So I've had my challenges.
But President Trump, when he gets into the zone,
he listens, he asks good questions, you know,
no tweeting.
He hasn't tweeted much at all.
No drama.
He's been a great wartime president.
That's true social count?
I said last night that Trump and BB are like Roosevelt and Churchill.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I mean, they're the right two guys to confront this evil.
All right, that's the first one.
The excitement.
Oh, my God.
I almost cry.
How long we've been asking?
How about the staff just like smiling?
Like happy assistants, just like, oh my God, look at this.
We're here.
We're killing people.
You know, I've always said it.
I know there's a time and place, unfortunately, in this world for war.
It is a reality.
This was not one of them.
It's not argument for the Iranian regime for the millionth time,
as I've said, I got no love for them.
But, you know, to be dragged into this by people including Lindsey Graham,
and we're going to play this clip in a minute, him talking with Netanyahu.
This is someone, Miriam Adelson did some fucking tribute to Lindsay Graham
and talked about how they met him so many years ago when he was in, I think, Congress
or something like that before Senate.
And she and her late husband, Sheldon, would talk to him every day about Israel.
I'm sure she's exaggerating a little bit.
but I'm sure they didn't talk every single day,
but like they obviously talked often.
And it's like, why?
That's weird.
I don't care what country it is.
That's weird.
It's weird.
You out there are thinking right now
while you're driving in your car
in a country where the dollar's been fucking inflated away,
guess is at however fucking high it is while, you know,
Trump says Iran can't have a nuke.
You're pissed off.
off. I don't blame you. And you're saying, what the fuck? Why was the guy advocating for this?
Why is it a flex that he's talking about the interests of another country? Kind of interesting.
This next one is a clip of Lindsey Graham in the car talking on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu.
And I want you to pay attention to the subtitles here because some of it gets a little hard to listen to.
but I watched this one like five times
and as far as I can tell the subtitles are dead on.
But what they are discussing
is how to subvert
the ICC
because it
has made Netanyahu a target
of their investigations
to be arrested for war crimes.
They have also asked to arrest
leaders of Hamas, leaders of Hezbollah,
all these places. Apparently that doesn't matter.
But they're treating everyone the same
in that way.
and that's not good enough
so they have to
collude to undermine it
because how dare they ask to arrest
Benjamin Netanyahu
and also before I play this
it is worth noting that this week
the prosecutor at the ICC
Khan, what's his first name?
Karim Khan
was pushed out and Benjamin Netanyahu
tweeted out bragging about it
and essentially
in this
clip you're going to hear Benjamin Netanyahu and Lindsay Graham, this is months ago now, before
Khan got pushed out, strongly imply that they want to hold things over someone like Khan to undermine
the entire credibility of the court. Let's let it right. So basically they're going to have a
three-judge panel, he says, approaching making the decision very soon. Is it possible to appeal to
appeal to the court
to say,
okay,
we want to review this
before you do anything
you know
I'm saying,
then you
send a letter
with
maybe with some other
countries
I don't know if you can any Democrats
I don't know
if you need any Democrats.
The speaker,
Speaker Johnson.
Speaker Johnson.
He would,
he would get the other people to...
No, to have him on the letter.
Yeah, sure he would
He says
I don't know
I'll no doubt
I'll try
But I will try
I promise you that
So
Yeah that's the beginning
Like what are we doing
I don't
I'm sorry
Like I'm so sick of having to pick on this guy
Not referring to Lindsay
referring to Netanyahu
But like
They keep giving us
ridiculous new material
Every single week
that I cannot ignore.
I would like this war to end
so that my guys aren't in trouble
and we're not getting sucked into endless wars
and we can focus on fixing this country.
And in doing that,
I would also like to see the ethnic cleansing
in Lebanon come to an end
to say nothing of Gaza.
If I get those three things,
and apparently that's way too much to ask,
I don't have to talk about this every week.
But we're at a point
where this is the shit
we got to talk about every week.
And then you got places like, I don't even want to play this clip, Dief. Let's not even bore people with it.
But you got places like Fox News that bring on Bill de Blasio, who was the worst mayor in the history of fucking mayors,
who under no circumstances would I ever like to have to defend on anything.
But they simps so hard for Netanyahu that I actually have to sit here and say,
the worst person you know just made a great point about Bill de Blasio.
I don't even want to play it.
But essentially, like Fox News was like, how dare you call Netanyahu a work?
criminal. Oh, I don't know, maybe because he killed a lot of people. Maybe because he's woned by
the ICC. Maybe because Bill de Blasio can read a fucking page and see that. You know, it's exhausting.
It's absolutely, absolutely exhausting. And in the middle of all this, we just wrapped up the
World Cup, which that was a lot of fun. I thought the World Cup being here was pretty cool.
I know FIFA, we're going to talk about that in a second. It's certainly a bit of a
corrupt institution and all that. But seeing so many people come together over this process that
was going on in America and in Mexico and, you know, you have your little moments that weren't great.
But for the most part, like, it just is such a great reminder. Like I saw a meme, not a meme.
I saw a poster, someone holding outside a stadium that said something along the lines of the World Cup
is just proof that nations don't actually hear.
each other governments do, something like that.
And it's so true, because it's like people coming together, cheering hard for their teams and
whatever, but all these cultures colliding, and it's like a beautiful thing. And I don't know,
I thought it was really positive. But in the middle of it, and we can pull this article up,
Thief, you have this organization, FIFA that, as I said, and I know less about this,
but I, you know, talked to like Ed Calderon about this, he'll go off about it. You know,
certainly has a suspect record. I know there's been Netflix documentaries made on it and everything.
but what's his name Gianni Infantino
is that how you say it
I definitely said that wrong
oh I got it right
Infantic what's his first name
Oh the fucking
Ad Blocker
yeah Gianni Infantino
I got it right
But Gianni Infantino
The head of FIFA
You know
This international organization
To bring the world together
Talk about a little
privatization everything Joe Death
Let's make some months
Let's make us a money
Right? And so he's been spending a lot of time in America, obviously recently. He spent some time with the president and his family. And as we like to say around here, Dief, they're doing a little biz. A little biz. Just a little biz. Let's scroll down right here. I told you. I was going to surprise you with this.
Less than a month after celebrating the most commercially successful World Cup in history, the boss of FIFA is in the hot seat.
Johnny M. Fantino, president of the global soccer governing body, is under fire from in and outside FIFA over his controversial
plan to sell off a stake in the World Cup to private investors. Why let the public have anything
that could be pure and again, I know it's already not, but like something that might have a small
sense of purity when we could just give it to private equity. Anyway, soccer governing bodies in
Europe and the Americas have come out against the proposal, which would see FIFA transfer its
commercial operations to a new entity, FIFA forward enterprise, and sell 20% of the company to
thrive capital and invest group run by Joshua Kushner, the brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Why is this guy just popping up everywhere?
Just getting in the middle of every deal that looks sketchy
while he claims to not be a part of this government,
even though he's one of the two fucking unelected people
that's out there negotiating outside of Vice President J.D. Vance
directly with Iran and not doing a good job either.
You know, who says he wasn't going to profit off the Trump administration at this point,
who said he was leaving it behind after 2020,
only to then make deals with fucking Saudi economy.
companies and shit for the tune of $2 billion, among other things, only for his father-in-law
to get back in for him to get involved again.
And now he's trying to buy FIFA?
Read the room!
Read the room, my guy.
I don't think they're very good at that.
No, and it looks like the Europeans are gonna boycott it.
Oh, let's see that.
European Soccer Body, UEFA on Thursday said it would boycott FIFA events, including the
World Cup, if the plan went through.
con cacif the association which represents national soccer associations across the americas and the
caribbean including the united states has also voted to reject the deal on friday the asian
football confederation without directly rejecting the fifa proposal issued a statement of solidarity
with ufa and con cacif i hope i'm saying that right the plan has provoked unprecedented divisions
between fifa members the a fc set in a statement and cannot realistically achieve the necessary
broad consensus and unity needed to go for them. Good for them. I'm with the Asians on this one.
A hundred percent. Shout out to Asia. But like good for them. Something like that should not happen.
Like I understand things need to not be completely unprofitable for good events to happen. I get it.
Fine. But like you don't need to be doing shit like this. It doesn't help. It does not help at all.
when will we learn that private equity just ruins it
well they do every time dave yeah that's what i'm saying you know
and actually can we pull up that video of that girl cooking
the fuck is her name this is an online
instagram influencer
just laid out this i had to rip the audio because it's got
copyrighted audio in the background so we're going to play the video that just has
the vocal audio i separated the two out but
basically explaining the shift in the American economy into two economies of tangible and intangible
assets post-World War II. And this is something I've been looking at a lot recently.
You've heard me talk for years, quite literally since the first second or third episode of the
show. Back when I did that, the first three episodes were on the college debt crisis and how that
all happened. And in one of those episodes, I introduced that Pinker chart for the first time where
it was talking about the wealth gap that has occurred to the point that it is basically
legislated away, the middle class since 1980. And when you look at the data, you're seeing
generational wealth divides, i.e. between boomers and then on the other side, like Gen X and
millennials, that has increased at 270 percent. I'm trying to remember that off the top of my head
since like the late 80s, I want to say. And that is meaning like,
The percentage of assets that each generation holds and the separation of what that is has increased 270 percent.
Where in previous generations, prior to that, when you had the equivalent of the boomers, maybe it was the silent generation or the generation before that, the greatest generation, they held less of a percentage of the assets compared to the younger generations.
Obviously, something is out of whack here.
And I don't know, I just really like this video right here.
So let's, you have the audio.
I gave you deep.
Let's just play it.
When it happens, and it'll happen, it won't be the cabal or obscene or China or the party line.
America's downfall will be mathematics.
You can call it the fictitious economy.
You see, post-World War II America was an unmatched engine of mass production.
The U.S. held a near monopoly on global manufacturing, forming the bedrock of a middle class whose single income could comfortably support a family.
In the 1970s, the leveraged buyout was popularized.
The act of acquiring companies using borrowed money, also known as private equity.
Private equity makes money based on assets undermanaged.
The bigger your portfolio, the better.
This incentivizes expansion over production.
Mass financialization required the U.S. to outsource manufacturing to cheap labor countries like China.
The U.S. began operating two parallel economies, tangible and intangible assets.
The real economy dwarfed by a financial superstructure.
In the last 20 or so years, half the companies in the U.S. stock market have disappeared.
U.S. farmland has shrunked by a fifth, and manufacturing jobs have become redundant.
But don't worry, because the value of assets has exploded.
An ever-shinking group of transnational corporatists is creating history's first-ever trillionaire.
The U.S. economy is a gambling bazaar.
But the house is losing too.
Stock market returns are single-handedly driven by AI speculation.
The fastest growing businesses are disconnected from real goods.
Factories, farms, and exports have been hollowed out by stocks, valuations, and private equity deals.
The U.S. has cannibalized itself.
And the middle class, once the most prosperous in the world, are struggling to meet their basic needs.
Uprisings don't happen when things are at their worst, but rather when things suddenly worsen.
So what do you think is going to happen when the bubble pops?
So that is Misseating Good on IG.
shout out to her and actually I got to make a note of that because I can't have the 9-11 image
YouTube's AI always tags that for the episode so I got to make sure I put that part out of there
right there but I'll do that tonight deep but essentially when you get to an economy where
it's more and more winner take all and the people that are winter taking all are people
that are working and I'm way oversimplifying this right now but people that are working in
industries that are not creating the tangible assets themselves. Maybe they're investing in companies
that do, but then dumbing down those companies to turn to profit, i.e., things like private equity
and the LBOs that came with that whole industry and everything, like at some point the math
doesn't math and it won't work. And I keep sounding the alarm on that. I'm far from the only one.
There's a lot of people on the internet sounding the alarm on this that like, yeah, when inflation's
where it is right now and gas prices go way up, because, I'm far from the only one, there's a lot of
because of wars and the dollars being printed over and over again to pay for them and the debt keeps going up.
Like, the party can last a while, even when it's not a party, even when things objectively aren't good for a lot of people,
as they are objectively not great for a lot of people right now.
But it's a game of musical chairs. The music will stop.
And when it does, not everyone's going to have a chair.
And it's not going to be one or two people without a chair.
It's going to be a lot of people without a chair.
When a lot of people don't have a chair to sit on, well, now they got enough.
nothing to lose. And that's what I, that's what I worry about. When we, when we keep doing this and
we're also seeing this at a time where they're ramping up AI and they're ramping up a surveillance
state here. And they're literally telling you what they're doing and showing you. We covered the
flock cameras last week. More on that in a second. You know, yeah, you should be sitting at home
saying, what the fuck? You know, I don't want to sit here and be someone that suddenly looks at
everything and says, we need to turn down all innovation or anything like that. That's not what I mean.
But like, yeah, is it suspect when they're trying to build 60 miles 60 square mile data centers
and really fucking nice communities out of nowhere where the tenants are going to be three to five
of the biggest companies in the world that are run by technocrats, including places like open
AI that are trying to bring in the fucking, I don't know, like to use Peter Thiel's term
the antichrist, if you will, pure spec right there.
Pure spec. Like, yeah, you should you should ask questions.
about that. Actually, before this one,
deep, keep that one. We're going to get to that
in a sec with what James Lee had. The Ellison
one. So Larry Ellison, who I
think it's always changing every week, but
like I think he's the second richest
man in the world right now. Owns a lot of media,
by the way, at this point
and certainly has some
suspect influences, but
this is a guy
who is one of the original technocrats
literally
laying out, bar
for bar, word for word,
in my opinion, I don't know, Joey Deef, maybe I'm misinterpreted this.
You can tell me what George Orwell wrote in 1984.
Let's play it and I'll let you guys decide if I'm fucked up or not.
This will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going on.
You'll be on your best behavior.
Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.
and it's unimpeachable.
The cars have cameras, you know, cameras on them.
I think we have a squad car here someplace.
But those kind of applications using AI,
we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video.
And if there's a problem,
AI will report their problem and report it to the appropriate person,
whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whoever will never.
We need to take a problem.
control of the situation.
We have drones.
Same thing.
We have drones.
We just, if there's something going on in a shopping
sign and I'll stop, a drone goes out there, get there way faster than a police
car.
There's their reason for, by the way, high speed chases.
You shouldn't have high speed chases between cars.
That's right.
Let the drones have a drone follow the car.
That's right.
Have the fucking bionic drone come in there.
A generation of autonomous.
That's good, Dee.
And blow everything up.
Like just imagine that, thief.
It's a regular day.
Some asshole takes a little bit too much.
fent, they steal a car, obviously not good, you don't want to see that. They start going down the road.
You're just driving. That's all you're doing. You're driving on the other side of the road,
mine in your business. Maybe you're sitting there listening to a little nirvana,
hitting a jade, not the best thing to do behind the wheel of the car. Yeah, no, no, probably not,
yeah. But, you know, maybe, maybe. And I just see a drone fly in and shoot a Jericho missile at
Yeah
You can't have a car
You can't have a car chase
Fucked up bro
And suddenly it's now not a car chase
Now 12 cars have blown up
And you're the 13th
Your cars totaled
You're still alive Joey Deef
But you've lost your leg
And you're pretty upset about this
I'm about to get that
flock money
You're about to get that flock money
But the problem is
AI runs the world now
Yeah no yeah
There is no money
Yeah
Probably didn't have a car then
that's right
you probably have like a pet robot
yeah or it's like a bike
like an old bike
with a lawnmower motor on it
that's right
but the but the
the bike robot lawnmower
will tell you what to do
and how to
spend your day
but it won't tell the fent addict
what to do so he still gets
in a car chase with the waymo
yeah and gets a Jericho missile
straight to the juggler
straight up the ass
yeah yes that's a better world
that's the world Larry Ellison
wants for you and your children.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Larry, you make a great case.
You make a great case, big brother.
But we had talked about the flock cameras last week.
And obviously I was talking to a bunch of you guys this week
and DMs and, you know, who are seeing this pop up all over the place.
And actually, Alessie, side note.
Alessie who's been all over this.
Alamon has been with me forever.
Got a great channel.
Alamon.
on YouTube does great documentaries there and sometimes features yours truly but he lives down in
florida and he's seen there was like a recent case somewhat close to him where
flock cameras were used to help rescue a 13 year old kid and all that and as a result
the entire town is now simping for flock cameras now that's awesome a 13 year old kid got rescued
But this comes back to the American principles of 100 guilty men on the street is worse than one innocent man in jail.
Because what they do is they use anecdotal things like this where maybe for a minute it's used for good.
And that sets the Trojan horse precedent to come in to where, oh, now we need them everywhere to use them for everything.
And by the way, fuck your privacy.
Don't worry about that.
It's going to be gone.
You know, and unless you've been covering this since well before this has happened, but now he's seen it play out.
Right in front of them.
right in front of him and he's like, oh, listen, really happy that kid got found.
That's awesome.
But like, yeah, let's not let's not let the horse out of the fucking barn here.
And they're ready to do that.
But as you already pulled up, Dave James Lee did some digging on this.
He does a lot of digging online if you've ever seen James Lee.
And I don't know if all this ends up being the worst case scenario, but it's interesting.
It's interesting.
If there's some stuff in here that certainly,
look suspect, I think it's worth talking about because what James is positing is that suddenly
the explosion in like flock being talked about could be a sigh up to get another company in there,
which, hey, I've seen crazier things. So if I see flock popping up and we're talking about it
and going through it, righteously going out some of the things we have a problem with,
and then there's a reason to believe that maybe there's, that's being used as attention online
with people like me and all the people cover in this online to divert attention away from other stuff.
We're going to make sure we cover the stuff that it could be diverting attention away.
Pure spec on James Lee's part.
But let's listen to his case right here.
This flock thing is almost certainly a deep state siob.
And I got all their seats.
You know, one of the content creators for the administration, basically a binder guy, an Epstein binder guy,
all of a sudden saying the flock cameras are wrong.
And then you did a deep dive and you found out something.
really interested.
I've found pretty much like at least half a dozen cities that have canceled Flock,
but then signed up for another surveillance system, Axon.
Except who has ownership in this company?
Well, it turns out Trump!
Earlier this year, he bought $5 million worth of stock in Axon.
The minions of President Trump going out now against Flock,
and meanwhile, Americans don't realize they're just being replaced with a different surveillance
system where Trump is getting some royalties on the side.
Now there's reporting that this guy has come out with Tony Ortiz saying that he's spoken to
at least two influencers that have been approached about getting paid to post negatively
about flock.
Don't take up.
Then I looked into the investors.
So Flok is invested by Andrieson Horwitz.
That's Mark Endreson, part of the Silicon Valley Technocratic Elite.
Founders Fund, that's Peter Thiel's group, as well as Y Combinator.
that is a group that Sam Altman used to run.
And if you look at AXON, Axon is a publicly traded company.
So that's old school.
That's banker finance money.
So their top shareholders are BlackRock Vanguard and State Street.
Why are they pushing anti-flap?
Oh, is it because potentially they want to steer these city contracts towards Axon?
Is that a possibility?
I have one more thing to share.
This is the headline.
He's like, I'm still cooking.
$100 million on a secret police tech investment.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak helped.
convicted sex trafficker quietly invest a million dollars into a police tech startup in 2015.
So Axon just bought last year the company that Epstein founded back in 2015.
So they bought it.
Carbon. So now you have the tie of Epstein and the Israelis involved with this Axon company.
And Trump.
And Trump versus the technocratic elites.
But the thing is people aren't paying attention because everything is like anti-flok,
de-flock, we didn't get rid of these flock cameras, but they're quietly putting them
these Axon cameras in replacement, and they're tied to Israel, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump,
Black Rock, Vanguard.
So that's the point.
That's the point.
It doesn't really matter what evil group is behind it.
We need to make sure that we're knocking down all surveillance cameras.
Okay.
I pause that real quick.
The one part in there that I'm kind of like, I don't know, is like, Axon bought the company
that Epstein and Hu, Barack had been pushing years ago.
Mm-hmm.
It's sketchy.
It'd be more interesting to me just off the bat.
I got to look at it more.
But it'd be more interesting to me.
Maybe James can check this out if that company had bought Axon.
And you know what I mean?
Like is it kind of a control thing?
Yeah.
It's sketchy though, to say the least.
And the fact that there's kind, and I looked at this, there are a bunch of contracts
that popped up with this company recently.
It's like, it's just like a corporate switch of Maroo going on.
And I should not have to say this.
But if you are a fucking person with an audience out there
and you get approached with a bag of money
to create original content,
not an ad, an original content,
pushing a narrative, don't fucking do it.
Don't be that guy.
Like, it is already hard enough out here.
I always talk about this behind the scenes.
Let's just lay this out here.
Every content creator, myself included, lives on a scale.
Okay.
And that scale, I shouldn't say every content creator, anyone who's covering anything in the real
world as any part of their content.
And maybe it could extend to people that aren't that are just useful for some sort of
sciop attention.
I don't know.
But let's stick with people covering stuff in the real world like we cover on this show.
We all exist on a scale called Useful Idiot.
And this scale goes from zero to 100.
In my humble opinion, there is no one, no one who is at a zero.
There are things out of your control that you don't know are happening.
And sometimes you don't know happened after they happened.
Narratives that get put into your studio, especially when you're talking long form with people,
there's times you're suspicious and then there's times where you're not where maybe you should have been.
So there's no one who's a zero.
But you have to do your best to be as low on this scale as possible.
and when the painfully obvious things of people literally offering you a bag of money behind the scenes
to spread some narrative happen you know you're being used and if you don't guess what you still do
you know in your gut when you look in the mirror you know you're being used for something
you know i've always had it like i've never paid for someone to be on the podcast obviously i cover travel
and handle that and do that to get people there.
I never paid for someone to be on the podcast.
I've never accepted money for someone to be on the podcast.
It's a two-way street there.
And that's a part of the purity or trying to get the purity of doing this.
But like if I find out that someone made, you know,
especially like after Tommy G. went viral,
now you have a bunch of people hopping on this.
If I find out that some other creators, as James Lee is pointing out there,
according to his sources, made some fucking 20-minute, you know, knockoff of Tommy G's documentaries
and they were paid 20 grand, even something like that, behind the scenes to do it.
Like, fuck you.
You should be able to go at things that are sketchy without having people try to guide you to do that.
And you should call it across the board as you see it.
That's why we're going to, like when James Lee is looking at something like this, I don't know.
That's interesting.
So let's play it.
Like if they're trying to just totally distract with flock and still accomplish the same thing with someone else, you've got to look at that.
I don't care if it's flock.
I don't care if it's axon.
I don't care what company it is.
When you're putting privacy related devices, that's said with heavy irony right there all over the United States out of nowhere, you know, to at a time where you're putting in all these data centers and stuff at a time where people have been living through an error where they keep warning about the great reset.
you will own nothing and be happy
like yeah
yeah we're going to be concerned about that
regardless of where it is so don't
take fucking money
out there
no money
no money
Dave we have had
a very long week
and we got another
early recording tomorrow
to do
so
shorter episode this week
there's some stuff I want to dig into and save it next week
when I actually have a lot of energy
But as I said to you guys at the outset of this podcast, we got a couple good ones coming this week.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
We do our best to.
Listen, we're content creators.
At the end of the day, there's only so much that we can know or do.
But I do my best to get all the different perspectives in here to try to arbitrate that, if that is the
correct term there. It's been a long day how we do it and get to some semblance of truth as best
we can. And I hope that that is what comes out of these things. So just be on the lookout for that.
I'm aiming for Monday and Wednesday on those releases. It might be Monday and Friday for those
two episodes. There might be a different episode in the middle. I'll beside that later. But
when you see the first one, you'll know what the subject matter is. So we will leave it there.
Joey D, if you got any last words for the people?
Just keep eating your vegetables and drinking lots of water.
That's right.
Because that's all you can do.
And don't, don't eat the glyphosate.
And don't take the money.
And don't take the money.
Please don't take the money.
I'd rather you just be wrong.
Like, if you're wrong, listen, I've been wrong plenty of times.
That is forgivable, especially if you admit it.
But like, just don't take the fucking money.
Yep, no money.
All right.
That said, you know what it is?
Give it a thought.
Get back to me.
Peace.
Peace.
