Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello ladies and gums. Welcome to Wombo Presents Some More News with Mr. Cody, but Wombo is here. Wombo filling in for Mr. Cody who has a... A sick face! And here is news some more, here is some news more of news. The Deep State is trying to control Wombo and Wombo's friends with 6G. That's one more G than before! Probably stands for Merrick Garland, Wombo thinks,
Starting point is 00:00:27 because of a G for garland. The G in 6G! Wombo, you get the joke? Arrgh! Let's cut to the title please, thank you. ["The Last of Us"] All the latest and hottest conspiracies of 2024. What the hell is this?
Starting point is 00:00:47 Are you wearing a tin foil hat? Silly goat, it's not tin foil. It is lead, lead foil to stop the six cheese. Sure. Why are you hosting my show? Silly goat, don't you remember? It's Wombo's show now. Previously on Some More News.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Wombo bought Bluebird Cooksy. Wombo owns show now! Previously on Some More News. Wombo bought Woolworth Cooksy! Wombo owns the show now! That's probably bad. Yeah. Probably bad, Cody! Probably bad, Cody! Probably bad, Cody! Some More News is owned by News Slop Group that is owned by Cody Piss Incorporated that
Starting point is 00:01:20 is owned by Woolworth Cooksy that was recently purchased by Womco! Owned by Wombo! At least until purchased by Warmcoe, owned by Warmbo, at least until the Deep State takes it away because Warmbo gets too close to the truth. Also, Miss Katie said you wouldn't mind. So much information to unpack there. Did you say the Deep State? Yeah, man, the Deep State, the suits, the Fakos,
Starting point is 00:01:39 they're made of plastic and they put their tiny computers inside the drinking water and tater chips into the vaccines. They do the PsyOps, K-Pops and Cyclops. They put up false flags and replace horses with perverts wearing costumes. I have drafted a very concise and illustrious chart. I can get it for my car if you want. Save it.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Actually, go get it from your car? Actually, go get it from your car? Hey Jarvis, enable defense perimeter. I got a Jarvis. Well, it's just a guy named Jarvis that I pay to walk around the studio with a baseball bat, but it's not nothing. So here's some actual news. Conspiracy theories and the people who love them.
Starting point is 00:02:22 We've always had them, but today we're gonna look at the latest and hottest ones. Not your grandpa's conspiracy, or actually statistically, maybe your grandpa's conspiracy. Because in true grandparent fashion, our first theory is about the young being corrupted by an evil, fringe, mainstream pop music star.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Taylor Swift is a CIA Democrat plant. Damn! I knew she was too good to be true. So what is it? She a robot? A clone? Clone of a robot? One of those robots? Oh, please be a robot! Have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this? Well around four years ago, the Pentagon Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset
Starting point is 00:03:11 during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A Psi-Op for combating online misinformation, listen. Well that's less fun. Hey, question, is there like, you know, evidence? You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. Hey, question, is there like, you know, evidence? You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation.
Starting point is 00:03:29 With ideas that social influence can help, can help encourage or promote behavior change. So potentially as like a peaceful information operation. I include Taylor Swift in here because she's, you know, she's a fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've heard of her. Yeah, that's real. Yeah, that's real.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I mean, real in the sense that in 2019, a presenter at a NATO conference of cyber defense suggested using influencers to battle misinformation and gave Taylor Swift as an example of an influencer, thus proving that shh. So no, no evidence. But still, it certainly is a mystery why Taylor Swift, a conventionally attractive woman with a good voice
Starting point is 00:04:13 who sings about heartbreak and other relatable emotions, somehow became popular. It really defies logic that somehow, somehow this woman became popular and her legion of loyal followers, the Swifties, are soon to be mobilized. To what end? According to very good source Jack Posobic, quote,
Starting point is 00:04:33 They're gearing up for an operation to use Taylor Swift in the election against everything. Against Trump for Biden. They're gonna get her and all, you know, they call them the Swifties. They're going to turn those into voters, you watch. Hey, wow, that quote barely makes sense, but it is from a political conversation he was having with Roseanne Barr. So nothing really makes sense anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And listen, before we go any further, conspiracies do actually happen from time to time. LSD testing, all that MLK-FBI harassment, bores, big tobacco and big oil knowing about the damage they do, mega bores, et cetera. In fact, Jack Posobic, who we also mentioned in last week's episode,
Starting point is 00:05:14 is somewhat of an expert on conspiracies, given that he's been found to have extensive ties to the white supremacist movement and has provided propaganda content for the Trump administration and also lied about his journalism credentials, worked for Roger Stone as a political operative, and championed the Pizzagate conspiracy theory,
Starting point is 00:05:31 and the Stop the Steal campaign. In 2017, Jack Posobic led an operation in which a Trump supporter held up a sign that said, rape Melania in an effort to make anti-Trump protestors seem sexually violent in a conspiracy revealed by text messages acquired by Buzzfeed News. Jack Pesovic knows a lot about conspiracies.
Starting point is 00:05:50 He's created a few. So of course he assumes everything that happens around him is also a conspiracy. Takes one who tries to overthrow democracy to no one. But it's not just Jack Pesovic, that stupid piece of shit, jumping on the CIA Tay-Tay train. Republican presidential nominee failure Vivek Ramaswamy, who is definitely a serious person,
Starting point is 00:06:12 not starved for attention, also believes that Taylor is super secret government asset. He replied to a tweet by Pesovic saying, quote, I wonder who's going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there's a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here. Let's see how it ages over the next eight months.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, all the best leaders throw out wild speculation and then say, oh, maybe I'm wrong. Let's see how this turns out. That guy should definitely be in charge of something. Also good job at predicting that one of two teams will win the Super Bowl. Amazing insight all around. So I guess the theory here is that Taylor Swift,
Starting point is 00:06:59 possibly a CIA plant, is dating football player, Travis Kelsey, as part of an insidious plot to rig the results of the Super Bowl, which will then push the election in Biden's favor, I think. You see, now that Travis Kelsey won the Super Bowl, people will vote for Joe Biden because people like winners, and Travis Kelsey's also a far left plant because he took a knee protesting police violence against black people, advocated for COVID-19 vaccines, and did an ad for Bud Light.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Anyway, I guess there are more layers to this hot pile of nonsense. Like I said earlier, Vivek's conspiracy theory was in response to a tweet by Jack Pesovic, where he wrote, thinking about when Taylor Swift called out the Soros family in 2019 for buying the rights to her music,
Starting point is 00:07:53 and then how she came out a super liberal in 2020. So, okay, I guess the implication here is that Taylor Swift tried to take on the Soros family, only for them to do something that turned Taylor into a super liberal. Maybe she was kidnapped and injected with a super liberal serum that turned her from a nice conservative trad wife
Starting point is 00:08:17 into a super duper ultra liberal. Or maybe she was blackmailed with evidence that proves she uses hair extensions. It is true that Swift criticized the Soros family in 2019. or maybe she was blackmailed with evidence that proves she uses hair extensions. It is true that Swift criticized the Soros family in 2019 as well as Carlisle Group for selling the music rights to her first six albums without involving her. That's where the whole Taylor's version albums come from.
Starting point is 00:08:40 What's also true, I guess, is that the Soros family apparently used a time machine to go back to 2018 and forced Taylor Swift to endorse democratic candidates in the midterms, citing her stance against racism and her support of women's and LGBTQ rights. After all, what's more likely? That Jack Posobik is an idiot Nazi who doesn't realize that Taylor Swift has leaned
Starting point is 00:09:03 to the left for quite a while and constructed this anti-Semitic Soros theory, or that the Soros's have a time machine. And instead of killing Hitler or grabbing some dinosaurs, they went back and made Taylor Swift support the Democrats. Oh, they should have made Hitler fight the dinosaurs. Oh, missed opportunity. This is by the way, part of the power of conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 00:09:27 What I mean is that I'm sitting here arguing about time travel instead of talking about the stuff that matters, like Bors and that new Star Wars show. Because conspiracy theories are sort of designed to gaslight people into debating obvious things, including, but not limited to, whether or not famous people are, in fact, famous.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Taylor Swift fans sort of worship this artist kind of like at random, right? Like just out of the blue, suddenly Taylor Swift's the most famous person on earth. Now she's at every NFL game with her boyfriend who's backed by Bud Light and Pfizer. Travis Kelsey is this guy who also kind of out of the blue became this big time celebrity,
Starting point is 00:10:15 really rich, really powerful. Why? He's a tight end. He's like a glorified lineman. That doesn't make any sense. Tight ends aren't famous people in football. That's Benny Johnson, a guy that nobody should listen to, dragging us even further into the idiot pit by pretending that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey
Starting point is 00:10:32 somehow magically got famous. And like, do I even have to prove that he's wrong? We shouldn't have to point this stuff out, how Travis Kelsey, one of the greatest tight ends of all time, according to lefty liberal rag Fox Sports could become so popular? To be fair to Benny, I don't think he's an idiot. Just a liar and a grifter and kind of an idiot.
Starting point is 00:10:52 He's currently a conservative commentator who used to work at Buzzfeed, but was fired because he was caught plagiarizing in one of his articles. Sorry, wait, no, I mean 41 of his articles. Before that, Johnson worked at Breitbart where he wrote an article lamenting the fact that a blasphemous mosque would be built on ground zero despite the fact that the plan was actually for a Muslim community center several blocks away
Starting point is 00:11:16 from ground zero. But hey, you know, why let a little thing like facts get in the way of inflaming Islamophobic sentiment. This is all to say that Benny isn't a serious person and ping-pongs between whatever the best paying ideology is and should not be considered for any reason. According to the Washington Post, when defending that mosque article, he claimed, quote,
Starting point is 00:11:39 sometimes I was just writing a lot for the audience. I knew well what they wanted to read, even if I didn't believe it. So yeah, Benny Johnson doesn't believe in anything. I wish we didn't mention him. But this is exactly the power these conspiracy theories give grifters, who will take any attention they can get.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Benny would probably let me piss on him during the Tony Awards just for the headlines. Sadly, I can't pee on command, also I wasn't invited, also gross, he doesn't deserve my pee. Point is, none of what they are claiming here is impressive or deserving of much thought or attention. After all, this is all hinging on the idea that Taylor Swift may very well endorse Joe Biden in 2024,
Starting point is 00:12:27 which is an extremely easy prediction, considering that she endorsed him in 2020. Basing your conspiracy theory on her backing Biden is like if I expertly predicted that Sony will make another terrible comic book movie. Also, I hereby foresee that this bad movie will become a meme on social media. Wow, such a bold premonition.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Or more aptly, I could predict that the right-wing celebrities who endorsed Trump before will do it again. Does that make them a CIA Psy-op? No, it's just what the celebrities do. Even the hot young ones like Kid Rock and Gary Busey. We call them influencers for this very reason. And sometimes they use this influence to advocate
Starting point is 00:13:13 for causes or politics they believe in or speak out for or against a president. Is this a conspiracy? Not really. Is it a good thing for democracy? I don't know, probably not. But I would argue it's better than what actors have done in the past.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Wrong! Taylor Swift is using mass hypnosis to make people vote for Biden, who's not the real Biden, but a Chinese replacement Biden. The real Biden is being held somewhere on Epstein's Island where he's being converted into a gay cyborg. Warmbow, I just finished,
Starting point is 00:13:43 where are you even getting this stuff from? Like a gay cyborg, really? Fine, maybe he's being converted into a gay cyborg. Warmbow, I just finished, where are you even getting this stuff from? What, like a gay cyborg, really? Fine, maybe he's bi, a bi-borg. Okay, let's cut to ad so I can fire Jarvis. The green juices controlling Cody's body! The green juices controlling, ah, ah! Hey, it's Cody. Lean in.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Is this you and me? I just learned something interesting while looking at Ground News. That's a news aggregation site that we at the Shodi specifically sought out as a sponsor. A site that shows how the media around the world is covering any single story and allows you to compare and contrast that coverage
Starting point is 00:14:17 based on things like their political lean and who owns the publication. So the interesting thing I learned was when I looked up the media coverage of Transgender Day of Visibility. There are almost 100 articles about this day, which has been a thing since 2009 and always falls on March 31st.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And what's interesting is that multiple sources on the right and even center are running headlines implying that Biden declared Easter to be Trans visibility day. Only the Washington Post seems to get this correct by noting, quote, Easter coinciding with transgender day of visibility. Bad job news, bad job news. And I could see all of that on ground news, or rather ground.news.smn, which now features an elections page that
Starting point is 00:15:07 includes a blind spot section showing you which stories aren't being covered by one particular side. So check them out at ground.news.smn, you can subscribe for as little as $1 a month, or get 40% off unlimited access through our link this month only. What they're doing is more important today than ever and I encourage you to check them out. The link is in the description and you can lean back out now.
Starting point is 00:15:32 You can lean away from me. Lean away from me. You are too close. I can smell you. You smell amazing. Well, we're back. Warmbo is still here. Wormbo, what's going on with you man?
Starting point is 00:15:48 You've been acting really weird lately. I'm heaps mad Mr. Cody! Heaps! Okay, but why? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mimics posing as immigrants coming into Wombo's country and stealing Wombo's phone! Wombo had a phone! A happy phone! It was all Wombo had and now it's gone! Stolen from Wombo by Mimiquants! Look, they even left a note! Dear Wombo, I stole your smelly toy phone because I'm an illegal who hates laws. If you want it back, you must sign over some more news
Starting point is 00:16:30 to Katie Stoll, who I am not. Love and immigrant. Their little hearts over the eyes. Now Wambo needs to buy a new phone, a smartphone! Do not get a smartphone! I feel like that would open up a portal to hell or something. Wambo, I'm pretty sure this is a really lazy attempt to blame something that perhaps somebody else did
Starting point is 00:16:53 on immigrants, okay? Maybe you should think about who stands to gain by holding your phone hostage in exchange for you signing the show back over to Katie. Yes, Wamba will do his own research. That is not comforting, but hey, what a convenient segue this was. Immigrants are invading America to vote for Biden.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Okay, so apparently there's an invasion at the Southern border that Biden himself has organized. It seems like nonsense, but who am I to argue with the former president of the United States? For one term, so far. But this is a Joe Biden invasion. This is a Biden invasion over the past three years. I call him Crooked Joe because he's crooked.
Starting point is 00:17:43 He's a terrible president, the worst president our country has ever had. Thousands and thousands of people that come in from China, Iran, Yemen, the Congo, Syria, and a lot of other nations. Many nations are not very friendly to us. He's transported the entire columns of fighting-aged men, and they're all at a certain age.
Starting point is 00:18:03 And you look at them, they look like warriors to me. Something's going on that's bad. Now the United States is being overrun by the Biden migrant crime. It's a new form of a vicious violation to our country. Oh, a new form of crime. It's like a rebranding, the Duncan of crime. So crooked Joe or as Trump also likes to call him, Sleepy Joe Biden, is orchestrating a secret invasion of scary military-aged immigrants on our southern border with China, Iran, Yemen, Congo, and Syria.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I guess Trump took the same geography class as Biden. Anyway, he's organizing one of the most ambitious, insidious plots of any president ever, literally growing an army of foreigners to take over the United States. This weak, incompetent man is very competently organizing a secret invasion. This army of buff, undocumented immigrants,
Starting point is 00:18:56 the majority of whom are over 35 years old, half of whom are women, some I assume are very buff women, they are here for one reason and one reason alone to invade the ballot box. And for some reason the Democrats do not care about our southern border and the reason they don't care about our southern border the truth is is that all these folks are going to come in here
Starting point is 00:19:19 they won't be able to do it in Tennessee. A lot of them are going to be able to do mail-in ballots because there is no verification there. You do not show what not to be. What an insidious plot that doesn't make any sense and perpetually contradicts itself. Because just to point out the obvious, it is illegal for undocumented immigrants
Starting point is 00:19:36 or documented non-citizen immigrants to vote in presidential elections. And they face deportation or prison time if they do. But hey, you know, people do illegal things sometimes, or so I've heard. Maybe immigrants are willing to risk prison or deportation because they've been promised some kind of bribe from Biden. Bribe in Biden!
Starting point is 00:19:56 Maybe he's giving them a handful of pocket-warmed Werther's originals or a book of coupons. Indeed, there has been a rash of non-citizens voting, or rather, in the 21 years between 2002 and 2023, a total of 85 non-citizens voted illegally. 85 in 20 years. That's like half of a single movie theater. The turnout for a daytime showing of Wonka four weeks in,
Starting point is 00:20:26 or the midnight premiere of Madame Webb. It's not much is my point, but to be fair and balanced and honestly, balanced, this data was collected by the lefty open borders, love thy neighbor type freaks at the Heritage Foundation. Those pinkos. See, the joke is that they're actually an extremely conservative think tank
Starting point is 00:20:46 who hates immigrants so much, one of their former senior policy analysts had written a dissertation that Hispanic immigrants have IQs substantially lower than that of the white native population. And even those guys could only scrape up 85 individual cases of illegal voting from non-citizens in 21 years.
Starting point is 00:21:05 And boy, if there were more, they would have found them. They wanted to find them. But still, the point remains that Biden is doing nothing, nothing to quell the flow of human beings from one area of land drawn in a color on the map to another area drawn in a different color on a map. Our area. And sure, one could argue the decades of US policy and interference in Central America
Starting point is 00:21:31 have caused devastating social and economic crises that people are trying to escape from. But how is that our problem? Gosh, damn it. Why doesn't Biden do something? In November, my team began serious negotiation with a bipartisan group of senators. The result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of border security forms we've ever seen. Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
Starting point is 00:21:59 That's right, but how many of thousands of people being killed by legals? Well hmm. So yeah, Biden proposed a bipartisan bill to address people seeking a better life in this country and then garnished it with a little crime fear on the top just to sprinkle for the racist, a little garnish with a hard R. But to be balanced and bare,
Starting point is 00:22:18 he has apologized for misspeaking. Not about the murder stuff, but the use of the word illegals. I guess when he said illegals are murdering people, he meant to say undocumented migrants are murdering people. Cool, great, thank you, Mr. President. Hey, Joe, Biden, Brandon, whatever. Thank you for watching, obviously.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Long time viewer, never time caller, call in Joe. Joe, did you know that undocumented immigrants are actually less likely to be murderers than native born citizens? It's true, asked your grandkid to look that up for you on the Netscape. Researchers have actually found a lower per capita rate of homicide committed by undocumented immigrants
Starting point is 00:23:00 versus native born citizens. Fun additional fact, while first generation immigrants do way less crime than native citizens, second-generation immigrants do almost exactly the same amount of crime as people born here. Meaning that being born in America makes you more likely to do crime.
Starting point is 00:23:17 So watch out for any, you know, Americans. But we're getting distracted from the conspiracy theory that Biden and the Democrats are opening the borders for migrants so that they can, I guess, vote them into office. Despite the fact that they can't vote and Biden isn't actually opening the borders,
Starting point is 00:23:35 I'm so confused. Do we have an expert to flesh this out for us? A disproportionate number of legal immigrants go to blue states. They amplify the effect of a blue state vote. And the math, as I understand it, you can research this obviously very easily on there. It's like, it's pretty straightforward to research this.
Starting point is 00:23:55 But my understanding is that there would be, that the Democrats would lose approximately 20 seats in the House if illegals were not counted in census. And that's also 20 less electoral votes for president. Okay, so if as is the case, if undocumented immigrants aren't counted, then blue states would lose 20 electoral votes. You can even research this on the internet.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And you know what? Okay, we researched it. Boy, he's a little off with that number. Turns out that if you discounted undocumented immigrants, then California would lose two electoral votes. Texas would get one more. Overall, blue states would lose four votes and red states would gain four.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Not nothing, but you know, far less than 20. But what's more interesting is where I got that graph. That's from an article in 2020 about how Trump was trying to take undocumented immigrants off the census to tip the scale in the Republicans favor, something he failed to do. Because you see, the census has always counted undocumented immigrants.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And Biden isn't trying to change something to cheat at the election. That's what Trump did. Biden has simply made efforts to keep the census the way it was and has always been. He's preserving the rules, otherwise known as the opposite of cheating. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I guess Elon was wrong. Oh, oh, I think he might be an idiot or a liar. Some kind of dupe, a combination of all that. Idiot liar? But despite the fact that Biden isn't opening the border and is actually saying he'll close it, nor is he changing the system, nor can undocumented people vote
Starting point is 00:25:35 or drastically push the electoral college, nor do they statistically do more crime. Despite all that, I guess this is something we need to be concerned about and even mobilize our efforts against this pretend thing. There is a factor here, and the factor is for us, what gets us to the enemy quickly is to find, fix, and finish, exploit, analyze, and disseminate.
Starting point is 00:25:56 F3EAD, that's a model. That's what we did in Syria when we took out ISIS, really quick. Now we can't, we don't have the authorities to finish. So what we do, we find and fix. We fix the location of where the bad guys are. We look, we, uh, we pair up with law enforcement who is constitutionally sound because there are those down on the border. I hate to say this, this is the truth that are not constitutionally sound. Compromise. Ah, yes, compromised. This is the God's army convoy that went down to the border to fight the hordes of invisible people doing non-existent crimes.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And folks, they are strong in numbers. 700,000 vehicles? That's the prediction here. How do you keep that, well, peaceful and on track? That's a lot of trucks. 700,000! That is a lot of trucks! Had those trucks actually existed.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Sadly, for this freaking congressman, Keith Self, the final tally was closer to 20. So close! Hey, Elon, you got your 20 though. Ah, you were right the whole time, you wrong idiot. To be fair, another demonstration did see about a hundred trucks, and it was ultimately pretty peaceful.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Probably because most of the people were, quote, retired. Of course, it feels like only a matter of time until we actually see violence at the border. From the people claiming to want to stop violence at the border. Seems like a pattern, right? Where Republicans make up fake conspiracies and then rile up their base to the point
Starting point is 00:27:28 that they cause the exact thing they are claiming to prevent. Sort of like doing an attempted coup under the claim that you're stopping one. Of course, silly me, that comparison would mean that January 6th actually happened. January 6th didn't happen after all. I mean, the day existed. It exists every year, although at this point, Trump might contest that.
Starting point is 00:27:54 So despite the fact that conservatives are collectively pitching the idea of forming a militia to wage violent battle against immigrants, they really want to distance themselves from the whole January 6th clash, coopsie doopsie. And no better way to distance yourself than claiming the January 6th insurrection was actually a false flag. But strangely, some of the key people who participated on January 6th have not been charged. Look at the documents.
Starting point is 00:28:21 The government calls those people unindicted co-conspirators. What does that mean? Well, it means that in potentially every single case, they were FBI operatives. Really, in the Capitol on January 6th. Side note, I love how Tucker will say a lie and then get shocked at his own lie. Like he didn't just make it up.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Hey Tucker, you know, I can just bing the phrase unindicted co-conspirators definition, right? Like just grabbing the first result. Here's an old document from the Connecticut General Assembly that says, quote, reports typically refer to people as unindicted co-conspirators if they allegedly conspired with others to commit a crime,
Starting point is 00:28:59 but are immunized from prosecution in exchange for their testimony, previously pled guilty, or are ill, dead, or unknown? Here's the same definition over at USlegal.com. I don't know, man. Maybe we shouldn't build elaborate conspiracy theories around someone's inability to understand what words mean. Do you even need more proof?
Starting point is 00:29:21 Here's professor of criminal justice, Jessie Norris, a researcher who is specifically focused on FBI entrapment in terrorism cases, saying that FBI informants are never referred to as unindicted co-conspirator in legal cases. Remember, that's a guy who researches and documents cases of FBI entrapment. He's not exactly a stand.
Starting point is 00:29:43 People say stand still, is it okay? He's not a stand, I coolly say, but that is the really rad thing about conspiracy theories. It's much easier to come up with them and much harder and more time consuming to debunk them. I can just say that Men's Rhea is legal code for I am threatening the judge with a large strong species of bird known as a rea.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Can you believe it? I'm shocked about the thing it took me five seconds to come up with. It's just kind of exhausting that Tucker can just say a thing while serious experts are constantly ignored. Hey, interesting side note, that professor I mentioned did a database analysis and found that following 9-11,
Starting point is 00:30:26 there have actually been many incidences of FBI entrapment when it comes to anti-terrorism cases. And that only around 9% of all jihadi cases and 5% of jihadi cases involving informants were estimated to be genuine terrorism threats. Seems like a genuine abuse and problem with the FBI, but we're over here debating if a fucking vape is actually a badge?
Starting point is 00:30:51 That picture was tweeted by Derek Evans, which shows a man holding a vape, or I guess possibly an FBI badge. You know how undercover FBI agents will hold up their badges while they're doing secret undercover false flags on camera? What's actually interesting about that tweet is that Derek Evans is a former member
Starting point is 00:31:13 of the West Virginia House of Delegates who lost his job because of a felony. The felony? Participating in the January 6th riots, but, but, but, but, but, but, but to be fair, how do we really know he was involved? Maybe he was framed. Trump! Trump!
Starting point is 00:31:33 Woo! The door's cracked. Yes! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in!
Starting point is 00:31:50 We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in!
Starting point is 00:31:58 We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! We're going in! six rioters floated by one of the people who did the crime and filmed himself doing it. And people are listening to it.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I'm not sure how to help the people believing this and boosting it like this crackpot, Utah Senator Mike Lee. And yeah, I know the blue check mark is meaningless now, but I checked and that is actually his account at symbol based Mike Lee. It's so cool. It's very based of him to call himself based.
Starting point is 00:32:27 That old man calling himself based. Jesus fucking Christ. Okay. Any other gullible tools believing this really obvious lie? The January 6th thing is bad, but also the intelligence agencies were involved in provoking people to go into the Capitol building. That's a fact. Well, no surprise there.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Rogan cites the conspiracy theory that January 6th rioter Ray Epps was a federal agent, a theory promoted by Tucker Carlson. His evidence? Vibes, mostly. I don't know if he was a fed. I know a lot of people think he was a fed. The people that were there were calling him a fed.
Starting point is 00:33:02 What I do know is when they asked the FBI, the FBI said, we can't tell you whether or not there were people that were there that were doing that. Now there's been reports that there was hundreds of agents that were there that were doing that. I don't know if that's true either. See folks, facts are facts. And it's a fact that Ray Epps was a federal agent
Starting point is 00:33:22 and there were hundreds of FBI there. And also, I don't know if that's true either. Kind of amazing how Rogan can just do a complete 180 in the middle of a thought without any self-reflection. And look, I'm not really doing this to defend the integrity of the FBI. I'm not their biggest fan or vice versa, if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm kidding. I'm joking. I'm joking. Don't send an agent to my house or to my basement specifically. Lots of people buy hydroponic equipment for all kinds of reasons, all kinds, all kinds of reasons. The FBI has absolutely been involved in conspiracies.
Starting point is 00:33:55 But in this case, it seems unlikely that they somehow mind controlled all those people to live stream themselves saying they wanted to hang the vice president and more likely that they simply screwed up. Which is to say that yes, the FBI did help cause January 6th by spending years failing to address right wing
Starting point is 00:34:14 and white supremacist domestic threats. In fact, in the year leading up to this event, Trump's justice department directed the FBI to shift resources away from investigating white supremacist violence and towards cases investigating anarchists and were pressured to quote, uncover a left-wing extremist criminal conspiracy
Starting point is 00:34:34 that never materialized. According to the New York Times, seems like Trump specifically made it easier for right-wing terrorists to thrive before encouraging them to do a coup. Like, you know, an actual conspiracy. Or I guess counterpoint, maybe instead Liz Cheney deleted all the evidence
Starting point is 00:34:52 that Trump was totally trying to call in the National Guard. To quote Trump on Truth Social, and I guess I'll read the whole goddamn thing. Why did American disaster Liz Cheney, who suffers from TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, and was defeated for Congress by the largest margin for a sitting congressman or a congresswoman in the history of our country,
Starting point is 00:35:12 illegally delete and destroy most of the evidence and related items from the January 6th Committee of Political Fugs and Misfits. This act of extreme sabotage makes it impossible for my lawyers to properly prepare for and present a proper defense of their client. Me! All of the information on crazy Nancy Pelosi turning down 10,000 soldiers that I offer to guard the Capitol building and beyond is gone. The ridiculous deranged Jack Smith case on immunity, which the most
Starting point is 00:35:43 respected legal minds in the country say I am fully entitled to, is now completely compromised and should be thrown out and terminated, just like the radical left lunatics did to the evidence. Totally valid theory from an unbiased source. Seems like there's an overall theme to this, which is that all of these recent conspiracy theories are being used to cover up an actual truth
Starting point is 00:36:04 and perhaps even prop up an actual conspiracy. Like, did you notice that the Taylor Swift and immigrant and January 6th stuff are all centered around the election? More specifically, it's all a way to justify taking extreme measures to ensure that Republicans win the next one. After all, if the Democrats are lying about an insurrection and using Taylor Swift and illegals to cheat in 2024, well, we would have no choice but to elect Trump or heaven forbid, forcibly remove Joe Biden, the cheater. Otherwise, if none of this was true,
Starting point is 00:36:37 well, then that would mean that conservatives are all conspiracy brained racists who tried to do a coup. It's just fan fiction that's being pushed by very guilty people who want to distract you from their misdeeds. Hey, Puffy. Can you believe that Warmbow's phone was stolen? Geez, those damn immigrants.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Katie, you've got the phone right there. You stole the phone. It's right there. You've got it. What? What now? What is? Look down. Look down at the phone. No, look down at the phone. I'm looking up. Look down stole the phone. It's right there, you've got it. What? What now? What is?
Starting point is 00:37:05 Look down. Look down at the phone. No, look down at the phone. I'm looking up. Look down at the phone. Look down. I'm gonna go to ads. Don't know what you're talking about.

Starting point is 00:40:22 Mr. Cody. Lass? Hey, we're back. I feel great. Mr. Cody, lies? Hey, we're back. I feel great. Like nothing is impending upon me, you know? Really good. So we were talking about conspiracy theories and how they are generally used by guilty people
Starting point is 00:40:36 to build elaborate narratives designed to absolve themselves and or sell useless things like, I don't know, a bucket of something, just spit balling there. And so our last segment here is less about a recent conspiracy theory, so much as news about the people spreading them. Specifically, what a career of telling lies does to you. Also known as...
Starting point is 00:40:55 Con-se-quences? Yeah, big question mark there. So it's not a mystery why people spread or consume conspiracy theories. It's a symbiotic relationship. After all, people like conspiracies. There was a whole show about conspiracies back when things were fun.
Starting point is 00:41:17 They feed our desire to be smarter than everyone else, to be in on a secret, or in a select group of chosen ones who understand the truth. They can also confirm biases one already has and offer fun puzzles and are a source of delectable outrage. And as I said, the people peddling them
Starting point is 00:41:34 get to find scapegoats for their bad behaviors and beliefs so that they remain popular. Also make a lot of money of course, I mean, until consequences. Do we have a clip? Robert Parker weeps in a Connecticut courtroom after a jury ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay him $120 million in damages.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Jones, on his Infowars broadcast, has for years claimed the mass shooting was staged by actors in a government scheme to push for more gun control. There they are, consequences. Do we have a second clip of consequences? Yeah, that's what I thought. Anyway, as you probably know, Alex Jones was recently ordered to pay $1 billion
Starting point is 00:42:16 to the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims for spreading lies about the massacre being a hoax. Of course, this was only after his conspiracy-laden show earned him millions and millions of dollars. So the motive is pretty obvious there. While he was once banned from Twitter for his extremely malevolent spreading of misinformation and conspiracies and is now back on Twitter
Starting point is 00:42:36 because Musk selectively believes in free speech for everyone except those who make fun of him. He also lied about his child as an emotional and personal reason he would keep Jones banned. And then of course went back on that. But hey, in Elon's defense, Alex Jones says he saw we. It was a hot topic that would come back from time to time. But no, I was not the creator of it. I was not the presenter of it.
Starting point is 00:42:56 I was not the guy pushing it. I've been desperately, I mean, it's like I'll post it to XW1. There's over a hundred apologies that I've given. Over 100, in fact, probably 500. Every show I go on, they ask this. I apologized on Joe Rogan's show five years ago.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I apologized on Patrick Ben-David's show five years ago. I mean, these are prominent ones. I apologize on every show, and I'll say it again. I apologize that I just gave my commentary, because I'm really just a guy that talk radio host. Very convincing stuff. So according to Jones, he wasn't the guy who created or pushed this theory, except for all the times
Starting point is 00:43:35 he absolutely pushed it on his platform that got millions of views, to an audience that coincidentally grew as he spread the Sandy Hook is a hoax conspiracy theory. Anyway, he's back on Twitter, but at least we have community notes to, you know, not do very much. An investigation by Mashable revealed
Starting point is 00:43:51 that tweets that go viral will reach eyeballs much faster than the community notes that go up after the post has gone viral, which just kind of makes sense in terms of how linear time works. I mean, just looking at Alex Jones shows the bigger version of this problem, which is that conspiracy theories happen fast
Starting point is 00:44:08 and have immediate harm, whereas correcting them takes time and effort. It took, what, 10 years for the Sandy Hook stuff to catch up with Jones, and yet he still has a platform. Currently, he seems content to try and hide behind Elon Musk's selective free speech views and delayed fact-checking to save himself. And that delay between action and consequence, lie and truth, is why these people not only
Starting point is 00:44:33 survive but never learn. And so as one conspiracy grifter wanes, another one rises. Enter Russell Brand! I look elsewhere for alternatives that might be of service to humanity. Alternate means alternate political systems. They being? Well, I've not invented it yet, Jeremy. I had to do a magazine last week.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I've had a lot on my plate. But I say, but here's the thing that you shouldn't do. Shouldn't destroy the planet. Shouldn't create massive economic disparity. Shouldn't ignore the needs of the people. Wait a second, that doesn't sound so bad. And he's so lively and British. No British person has ever done anything wrong. Look it up. No, not on that site or that one. Yeah, don't look it up. So Russell Brand is, according to him, just like a scrappy, crunchy, politically homeless guy who was fed up with corrupted politics.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Maybe I was wrong about him, which would be odd since we wrote this into the script already. So what kind of revolutionary new thinking is this guy peddling anyway? The legacy media and the government long suppressed stories about Epstein and his famous client list. Attacks on Elon Musk have been escalating
Starting point is 00:45:43 since his acquisition of X, but now it's reaching its zenith. So who and what are behind the war on Elon Musk? Trump stormed Iowa with more power than the blizzard that was consuming it and the legacy media are in meltdown. Oh, he's just a right-wing freak now. Got it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 That sucks. I mean, we've all sort of seen this slow transition from Brand being a zany comedian to this conspiracy pundit, and maybe you didn't pay any attention to it. But it's worth wondering why exactly this happened. There's a possibility that this person who has struggled with addiction their entire life has simply replaced his past addictions with a new one,
Starting point is 00:46:21 glomming onto any wacky conspiracy he can and lapping up the praise and the likes, the sweet, sweet likes and views. But it's probably more likely that while I can't say for sure, I am going to play another clip. I've received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email. One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid stuff. Is there another agenda at play? Particularly when we've
Starting point is 00:46:54 seen coordinated media attacks before, like with Joe Rogan when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn't approve of. So it turns out Russell Brand is being accused of rape, sexual assault and abuse by four women, one of whom was 16 at the time of the alleged abuse. Brand is claiming the allegations are a coordinated attack because heck, otherwise he'd be a major fucking monster, huh? See, rather than being canceled,
Starting point is 00:47:20 Brand did the classic right-wing conspiracy pivot. This shift has earned him a boost in likes and shares on his videos. Some of his most popular videos are misinformation on the dangers of the COVID vaccine and how he's very concerned about it, which is apparently happening. And now the left are trying to get him
Starting point is 00:47:38 with assault allegations that began in 2019 before he made this right-wing turn. And you know, maybe someday Russell Brand will see consequences for his alleged assaults, as well as any lies he may peddle along the way, but it'll probably take a while. And in the meantime, he'll probably cause a bunch of damage because that's what these people do.
Starting point is 00:48:00 They tell and boost a lot of lies and eventually, hopefully, burn out, only to be replaced by another grifter. And hordes of people will just keep mindlessly gobbling that up. It's sad and weird and angering all at the same time. And frankly, I just don't know if we need to entertain it or tolerate it anymore. And maybe the people ingesting these theories should just be laughed at, you know? And told to fuck off. I don't know, that doesn't seem to work.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Probably won't really change a lot of minds. But while, as I said at the top of this video, we've always had conspiracy theories, never before has an entire political party hinged on them. I guess at the end of the day, all we can do right now is try to reach the immediate people in our lives, at least for as long as we can stand doing that.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Because I totally understand if- Hmph! Ah! What the shit, Wombo? Why does your spit burn? Mr. Cody lies! What? Evil Mimigrants have stolen Mr. Cody's brain
Starting point is 00:49:01 and replaced it with a bad man brain! And now he's trying to help the Mimigrants steal Wombo's phone! But Wombo have stolen Mr. Cody's brain and replaced it with a bad man brain! And now he's trying to help the Mimmigrants steal Warmbo's phone! But Warmbo is onto Mr. Cody! That's it! You know what? Fuck off Warmbo! Fuck off! I am sick of Warmbo!
Starting point is 00:49:17 I do declare it! I am sick of your little sponge brain sopping up every obvious manipulation and I'm sick of your sponge mouth flappingpping up every obvious manipulation and I'm sick of your sponge mouth flapping your bullshit and biting me you bit me warm bow you bit me you little felt freak well then maybe it's time for warm bow to run away fine okay go I'm going so go you'd love that you?
