The Last American Vagabond - How Trump Swindled Americans and Sold Out The Country To Technocrats

Starting point is 00:00:00 It starts with a simple question and ends in objective reality. Reality. Through our journey from there to here, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Welcome to the daily wrap up. September 14th, 2026, thank you for joining me today. Listen to my, that's my song there, the money game that I decided to play today. I'm trying to make a habit of not mentioning the song since it's not on the recording when it goes out and I just keep doing it.

Starting point is 00:00:54 But it's interesting because it keeps making thoughts come to mind, like the last song I mentioned. But, you know, the comment, it's funny that somebody's actually asked me about that before because I guess, guess if you hear it a certain way, it sounds as if I'm saying that people have failed in there. Now, the point of the song, destructive to its own ends, that's from the Declaration of Independence. That's important to think about. And it's wildly relevant to the point of many of the points from today's show, right? When any form of government becomes destructive to these ends and these ends, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Now, that doesn't have to mean violence.

Starting point is 00:01:33 Of course, that's how it's looked at today by the violent government that wants to maintain power. But it's interesting to think about, isn't it? It's destructive to its own ends. Rather, the ends, it promises that, you know, it is going to achieve, I guess, for us. The things that we want as Americans, that they fail to deliver round and round and round. And I think it's interesting to think about today more than ever, yet again, speaking with somebody close to me who, every single person they know, a person who was a diehard, multi-vote, multi-administration supporter of Donald Trump, who now is like literally just text me when I sent the title,

Starting point is 00:02:12 The Great Betrayal, and said that he discussed by him, disgusted by him, he's the word. And you know, you guys know this. We've been seeing it since January because it's been clear since then. But weird how it took so long for the comp, well, not weird. I think it's by design. The system didn't want it to be. Who knows? but it's obvious we were correct in the beginning it's obvious to clear right now the point being

Starting point is 00:02:33 is that people are beginning to see through that and so we're at a moment where there's an opening as i've been talking about and seeing that not just trump the government u.s government biden trump bush obama the point is currently and it just happens to be trump in this continuation of that problem that's there they're active everything they're doing is destructive to the to the ends that we are desire that it promises us to the very ends that is expected by the virtues of what is laid out as the founding documents of this government constantly failing usually some kind of a narrative you know well we tried hard and just couldn't do it or these people forced us to this bad position maybe maybe one two three a hundred you know going back the entirety of its existence it's

Starting point is 00:03:17 kind of easy to see that the self-enrichment has been there and i shouldn't be hyperbolic it kind of you know, goes against my point, really. Because it's not. I mean, I'm sure you could find positive examples. The reality is, though, is by and large, you can see it. We all can see it. It's not even debatable at this point. And now we're arguing over who's responsible, as opposed to recognizing that it's just

Starting point is 00:03:38 consistently the problem. So we're going to discuss today, as the title makes very clear, and there's multiple points throughout the show, how, and again, I've just run a stress. I know I do it every time, but it's not just Trump. But in this moment, the visible nature of this, it's almost as if he wants to be seen. And maybe that's something we should consider. It is definitely. But the corruption, brazen corruption, as Charlie says, stuffing their pockets with the silverware

Starting point is 00:04:07 up in the White House, like a cheap, lowbrow version of corrupt. Like it's just they're on the way out the door, it feels. But the amount of corruption, the cryptocurrency, and then we've gone over some of this, I'll make a point of that. But what I'm talking about today is just going to a deeper extension of that. that, how he was, you know, swindling you, right in front of your face, but also the cryptocurrency side of this and the sellout within that, but also how it relates to the larger technocratic conversation. And if you don't like the idea of that, the concept, even though

Starting point is 00:04:33 it's very valid and real and historically accurate, Silicon Valley types, right, billionaires, elitists, moguls, these people that push their way into the, into the power structure, Obama, same thing, city bank, you know, it's not unique right now, but it's more, we're watching this transition take place, as I've talked about a lot. Now, what I want to talk about on the selling out to the technocrat side of it, we've already been very clear about that, but in particular today, someone mentioned a lot, Mark Andreessen, Adreson, Adreson Harrowitz, but specifically his point in regard to the Trump administration and a dinner they had an article that came out. We've actually talked about all of this, but the way it's all lining up,

Starting point is 00:05:13 it's just important to take a moment to lay this out. And make sure, just in case you didn't see it, that you see it or those that see it, but haven't really put these pieces together. It's important to see where this all is. And I'm going to update, you know, assuming today the discussion will be the update on Yemen, the Ansarola movement, also known as the Houthi rebels, and Iran. And some different points around all of that just to keep you updated on where things are and just the insanity of Trump yet again saying today that Iran is begging so badly for a deal. Just, I mean, it was funny, I guess, and worth discussing.

Starting point is 00:05:47 and a roundabout way. For the, what, 100? I mean, geez, it's like not even worth. It's been months of the same cycle. I'll get to it in a minute. But just, you know, you guys that watch this show, it's humorous still. It's just as if he stinks that people are buying this.

Starting point is 00:06:03 He said the same thing about the Hoot. The Ansaral move with the Hootie rebels. They called me. They want us to stop biting. They didn't. It's not true. It's obvious and it's really sad that he keeps doing it. I don't know why.

Starting point is 00:06:13 Could be desperation. Could be that he's being driven to. It's not his choice. But it doesn't line up. Not even with who I think he is and who he's been up until now. But we'll leave it there to start. We're going to get into today off the, you know, right out of the gate, the corruption side of this.

Starting point is 00:06:27 And a couple of partisan points that show you the people trying to kind of hide some of this. And I'm thinking specifically like the people we're going to point to that this is not even about an agenda anymore. It's just a blind adherence because they either benefit from this or they're too locked in to pull away. I just don't know why anybody else would maintain support for something so obvious. not what they're claiming it is, right? I mean, it's self-interest we've been talking about. It's not even in their interest anymore to do this unless it's about the money from the platform or the lying of the, you know, something other than the actual stated objectives of the political aiming from Trump. But let's start with a point from Lips of Tick-Tock, or this is you calling them

Starting point is 00:07:07 out and showing you some of the stuff we're talking about. Now, this is, I just, I can't even, I don't understand, you know, this person lives of TikTok was one of the ones that got the binders at the White House and, you know, D.C. Drano. These just, just comical caricatures of what news should be and, and continue to play the role. And I think people that engage with it are either, you know, kind of a bot network of manipulation of things that meant to make them look a certain way. I think that's applicable to a whole, any number of left, right conversations or just people that enjoy watching them do their little dance, even if they know they're false or even if

Starting point is 00:07:39 they just hate Democrats enough, let's just keep, you know, lying about them so we can high five and make noise. It doesn't, I don't know. It's hard to say. But this is you caught that rather looks like a, well, technically I guess this is you is the one that caught this. I can't say for sure whether somebody else didn't put this together first. But Knox News from Knoxville called out this hoax that was going around.

Starting point is 00:08:01 How a surprising source punked social media with fake Kirkaversory event. Now, it's important to remember when this all happened then what we saw from the right, the exact same kind of screaming, screeching, winging, counterculture discussion we saw from the left. Now, yes, there were people that said things that were disgusting and that were wildly over the top. But there were also people that just said, Charlie's a terrible person and didn't deserve, whatever. That was they shot better. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:27 And you could say that's insensitive. They said the same things about Democrats that got hurt and attack. It's free speech, guys. We can say you're gross and you're disgusting and that was way out of line. But you're also allowed to say it. These people love to scream about free speech and all the things they. they want you to think they believe in and then attack anybody that they don't agree with. They are the left.

Starting point is 00:08:46 The right, the left. It's the same thing when it comes to the team sport game. So they went after anybody that was saying anything mean about Charlie Kirk. It went through all of our congressional conversation. And they censored people. They removed people. They got people fired. It was insane.

Starting point is 00:09:00 There's somebody who won a bunch of money and got his job back because of this. We didn't actually cover it. But it's just one more story. But it is an important story. It says, and then the duo had a review, has had a reveal as punk rock as their band for all those keyboard warriors, spoiling for a fight. It's a sciop to get people to listen to our music. So they basically did this to get momentum for the music, and it certainly worked.

Starting point is 00:09:21 Because really small-minded partisans like lives of TikTok or otherwise people that just don't care about the truth and used it for their benefit, came out and said, scoop, signs advertising, scoop, signs advertising an event to celebrate Charlie's assassination with a star, I guess, because you use the real word, Twitter, goes, no, no, boo-boo, you're not allowed to say mean words, so you get downgraded because that's what free speech looks like, ladies and gentlemen. Assassination at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I'm told these signs are going up all over campus.

Starting point is 00:09:52 Why are they allowing this? You mean free speech? The lives of TikTok, posters that don't do anything other than Kirkversary. We will celebrate the first new year after Kirk, not associated with your... What about this is even alarming? What if they want to go, we love Charlie Kirk? It's because these people assume so aggressively. in one direction. So aggressively, it's a campus. It must be Lib, must be Democrat. And that means

Starting point is 00:10:15 they must hate Charlie Kirk. It's just one assumption on top of another assumption. These people are clowns. I just, I mean, this is not why I'm actually pulling this out. There's more to it, but realizing these are the people that are still desperately defending Trump. The only ones, as far as I can tell, which funny, I should wait. I'm going to wait for a joke here. There's another one I want to show you in a second. You'll see what I mean. But anyway, it's allowing this. It's free speech. It's Conti, it's nothing about that as even insulting. In a little it was, it would still be free speech. These people just aren't real.

Starting point is 00:10:46 They don't have anything sacred. They don't believe in what they claim. At the very least, they don't believe if and when it comes to the person they disagree with, which makes them hypocrites. So they got caught. Turns out it wasn't real. Sia, they fell for it. These people are constantly getting baited because they don't care or they're just bad at their jobs.

Starting point is 00:11:04 It's incredible. Now, here's another example of some partisan stuff that I want to. want to point out. Now, this is interesting. Coming out now, W.H. Grandpa says, ABC News whistleblower swears under penalty of perjury. Okay, so as always, that could mean everything could mean nothing. People have lied under threat of perjury every single day in this country. I'm not saying I have any insight into why that will be false. I'm just saying in a moment of political, you know, hype, you know, tension, I guess. People will be driven to do anything. Like right now, what's going on with Trump's administration, the midterms and all that. Oh, sorry, I didn't finish the point.

Starting point is 00:11:42 Is the threat of perjury that Kamala Harris basically dictated the terms of the questions during the debate? Like, talk about, talk about, like, look, if criminal activity, go after them for the crime. If you can prove it, charge them, lock them up. But what a nothing story in the context of what's going on? Do you don't, you don't think that every side tries to dictate those questions as best they can? It's like talking about spying and manipulation in elections. They all do it. Doesn't make any of it. It's interesting to point this out now, though, based on one person's word. Now, let's just say you prove that's the case. Good.

Starting point is 00:12:14 If you can actually prove it, then charge her with a crime. I doubt that happens. So what this ends up becoming is this cycling back and going, oh my God, to what end? To what end? He won, did he not? Like, so I don't even understand. It's all about trying to deflect into the direction of Democrats lying bad and evil, and we're fighting them.

Starting point is 00:12:31 That's it, guys. I just don't, I mean, I'm not going to say it's not important if you could prove this. it's one person's testimony, do your due diligence, I guess we'll find out. Sam says it's all theater. They ran Cameltoe to drive everyone to Trump. She was the lost rated VP in Hugh. She was the most unpopular person in politics I've ever seen. So I happen to agree. Now, whether it's about all or nothing, I can't, who's to say? My opinion is that she was an obvious choice to lose. I mean, everybody knew she was wildly unpopular, why they would choose her unless Trump was the direction. And I really believe this.

Starting point is 00:13:06 From 2016 forward, there's been an organized, like a coordinated thing. Now, that doesn't mean that had we, like, by and large, like protested in the streets to the 99th percentile against Trump, they wouldn't have a shift the direction. They always have a secondary plan as the establishment,

Starting point is 00:13:21 at people in power, individually and as a group. But realizing it's a means to an end. Let's put it that way. To get to where we are now. Rather, more importantly, to get people where they need them to be through the idea. locks. We're thinking about. On top of that, talking about, oh, actually, I mixed these up a little bit.

Starting point is 00:13:43 This one should have been after the Charlie Kirk point. Either way, Gray Zone, Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA sponsored by Israeli government aligned outfit. Now, remember the three main things, I'm probably going to forget them now. We talked about. After this took place, what would be an important point to note? If control over turning point USA switched over into some Zionist control, long since happened, there's two other one of them was if they started to get funded by the very same people and with every single thing you would have the things that he was criticizing are now happening it just shows you that this has been taken over and that only more so puts the evidence in the direction of even circumstantial but in the direction of he was taken out for this very reason

Starting point is 00:14:26 because he began to attack the thing that's now taken over his platform why because it was literally by metrics alone the most important battleground for is real in this conversation. You don't think they're willing to do that for what they've been doing in the world, and you're not paying attention. Not saying I can prove that, but it is what I think the evidence shows. Max Blumenthal reports that a year after Charlie Kirk's killing, his org has buried his criticism of Israel to maintain support from a group linked to the Israeli state, who most people believe was behind, at least involved with his assassination. Oh, hold on. There was another comment he included. And he simply added to that, I've obtained a contract between Turning Point USA and a group that

Starting point is 00:15:05 partners with the Israeli government that shows how much Charlie Kirk had on the line when he denounced hyper-controlling Jewish stakeholders weeks before his death. Now, as always, that's Max claiming he has a contract. I haven't seen it. So take it with a grain of salt. The contract helps over Turningport USA, helps cover Turningport USA faith events through this year and the neck. Now look, another point to add to this, I mean, I can't speak to every one of them,

Starting point is 00:15:28 but I've seen specific and verifiable examples, both in Tournament of USA and just other Christian church gatherings. that Israel is paying to basically spyware their phones and dump pro-Israel Christian content into their phones. It's just overwhelmingly clear what's happening. The group behind it, he writes, is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is currently flooding conservative media with paid ads and partnerships ensuring a steady flow of Israeli propaganda while keeping failing outlets like Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire afloat.

Starting point is 00:15:59 Now, I don't doubt this. I'm just saying I haven't seen it. It's worth being objective, but pretty damn clear, I think. Now, here's Trump. Now what's funny is just these few points we're talking about, and that's not even barely touching the surface. What we're about to get into is anybody still supporting them after that should be laughing at themselves.

Starting point is 00:16:17 But just these first points, just we've talked about thus far. Here's what he had to say when asked point blank. Men who voted for you in 2024, right? Ask about the people of the demoralized people. Like everyone I'm talking about, people that we know, people that no longer fly his flags, people that are disappointed about every choice he's been making. Here's what he says.

Starting point is 00:16:39 What do you say to all the young men out there? And I know these are people who supported you in 2024 and 2020. And they still do. I mean, what an aggressive way to respond to that, guys. How do you not read what that shows you? Again, it's an opinion. Clearly, just like, you know, people's uncomfortable movements or an opinion, but they do, you tend to potentially signify something.

Starting point is 00:17:02 but the jumping in of the kind, and they still do, to me, it's very clear he's defensive. Now, it could just be because he believes he's right and thinks the Democrats are lying about him and he lives in some magical bubble where he doesn't see anything going on around him. But he must know if other than that. Of them still do, but I think out there and I know these are people who supported you in 2024 and 2020. And I think a lot of them still do, but some of them are demoralized. Let me just, I don't think they're demoralized. I think they're very...

Starting point is 00:17:31 Sorry, I don't cut it again. He started jumping into correct her for saying not all of them. Again, same point. Now it's small. A lot of them still do, but some of them... No, no, no, no. He's quibbling with a lot of them still do. Not all of them still do.

Starting point is 00:17:46 You see how completely, like, delusional or dishonest that is? I think you guys all know this. They're demoralized. Let me just... I don't think they're demoralized. I think they're very proud of the fact that I'm not letting a run have a nuclear weapon. You know what's sad is it seems that mostly Republicans, are the ones aware that that's not the truth.

Starting point is 00:18:03 Look into it. I disagree with you. You're not in favor of it, but if Iran had a nuclear weapon would be calling up and saying, sir, could we get together possibly? Oh, and he did this. This is the second time he's done this.

Starting point is 00:18:16 I don't understand why he doesn't have people around him that go, dot Trump. That's like the worst thing you could possibly do. Why? Because it clearly shows you that you're, I mean, maybe they've thought this through and they think somehow that that then will create the, you know,

Starting point is 00:18:30 they do, but it simply shows you that should they get a weapon like North Korea, it simply shows you that it would not, this wouldn't be happening. It would essentially bring stability to the area. Of course, unless you blindly believe the lies about what they claim Iran is, but any government, by the way, is capable of any kind of destruction. I'm just saying that what they claim about them is not true in most every way that I can find, but every government will kill people for their benefit. Every government in my mind will take advantage of a situation, will lie. Understand that about my opinion. I don't believe in any of these governments. governments, but realize that they lie about China.

Starting point is 00:19:03 They lie about Russia. They lie about Iran, just like they rely in reverse. But real quick, hold on, I'll catch my mind up. A nuclear weapon would be calling up and saying. Right, right, right. So him saying that, if they had the weapon, that they'd be going, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, but explain this for me. Why didn't you do that the first time?

Starting point is 00:19:21 Right, Trump? So your logic is if they had a nuclear bomb, well, we would be, well, you guys have been saying they have one for years. Netanyahu and you, by the way. he's shifted in the later years to say they're, you know, working close. Netanyahu, too. But I can give you multiple examples where both of them claim they literally have a weapon. So too can Congress or so too did Congress, many of them.

Starting point is 00:19:43 So if that's the case, then you didn't go please, sir? Because they didn't have one, guys. You know, there's multiple ways you can walk through his arguments and look back at previous statements and be very, very convinced that he knows they don't have one. The evidence backs it up. Kelsey Gabbard told you that. The IAEA told you that then and now. The evidence shows they don't have that.

Starting point is 00:20:03 I mean, it's just over and over. On top of that, Trump claims he bombed it, destroyed it anyway. It's insane. This is comical if it wasn't so serious. Thanks, sir. Could we get together possibly? We'd be dealing with them much differently. So if it turns out.

Starting point is 00:20:21 Sad. And so Mr. Sausage says he relishes in the betrayal, basking our demoralization. It's starting to feel that way. Or he's not in control. That's just one of the possibilities. Now, we'll come back to the Iran point in a minute. Now, this I just had to laugh at.

Starting point is 00:20:35 That was the joke I was pointing to. Basically, Dr. Simon just put this out. Kat Turd and Gunther totally believe me. It's just I laugh for probably five minutes. Exactly. Like the two most shockingly obvious blind followers that have no discernment or don't care. Yep, they obviously go along with whatever you have to say. That's been pretty clear.

Starting point is 00:20:55 But that's about the gist of it now. Now the Kavisian letter put this out. Here's what Trump had to say. I hope everybody realizes that price increases throughout America were caused by Joe Biden and the Biden and the Biden administration, not Trump. Even oil, he's lying about that, by the way, was higher under Biden and it's right. False. Now, it's just crazy to me.

Starting point is 00:21:17 Now, I mean, like, I feel I can have one up down here. I'm going to jump ahead real quick. The prices right now versus there. I mean, right now, they're much higher, which is just, it's weird that he feels he can lie like that. or some here's what i don't see here's what i think makes more sense he would lie and you know it everybody seems to know that now and it should have a long time ago he wrote about it but realized that i think more or less what's happening is that people are lying to him and that he's like alice jones it doesn't check anything he just repeats what he's told like everybody worked with him has told us that's

Starting point is 00:21:49 interesting to think about that like like he keeps thinking irons and the deal like i i think he's being fed misinformation and it doesn't know what else to do so he keeps taking it at face value at least in some cases. But also, the idea that you're going to pretend that cost that have immediately been affected by your actions and you can literally see it are somehow because of Biden? I mean, any administration you can draw lines and parallels to things that cause more, you know, but it's undeniable that it's all because of the Iran war right now. On top of many of the things he's done, like exacerbated numerous problems. It's just kind of sad. And he goes, even oil was higher in Biden than right now.

Starting point is 00:22:27 and we prevented Iran for having a nuclear weapon. No, you didn't. I mean, it's just that that is, seriously, it seems that Donald Trump has put his entire lifelong legacy on that one sentence. And it's not going to work out for him. And that's pretty sad. His entire legacy is boiled down to,

Starting point is 00:22:41 we prevented Iran for getting a nuclear weapon. And that's because Netanyahu seems to have built that up in his mind, in my opinion. That's how this all started. You do this. You'll be remembered forever. The whole world will back you. And then, of course, Iran didn't shut the straight down.

Starting point is 00:22:52 They didn't do what they thought they would. And everything ensued sense. a nuclear weapon. I mean, so what happens eventually, if this just never pans out, then what? His entire life will he based around a lie forever? It's just kind of pathetic,

Starting point is 00:23:07 but it says with the temporary exception of oil, prices are coming down sharply. That's not true. It's just not true. That's what's so pathetic, and everybody's calling it out. And oil will drop like a rock as soon as the military conflict is over.

Starting point is 00:23:18 Now, he keeps saying this. Over and over and over. Now we're going to come back to Iran. This is just to make the point now about his manipulation, prices, but also the idea of him saying that, you know, as soon as after the election, the war is going to end. He just said that.

Starting point is 00:23:34 Why? To convince people to vote Republican because he's got a secret plan that you don't know about. It's just, it's like last-ditch effort. It's pathetic to me. I mean, it's certainly possibly he's got some secret plan, but he's been making that same little roundabout for the last few months. And it keeps blowing up in his face. So I don't believe it for a second.

Starting point is 00:23:53 And that will not be long, he says. Thank you for your attention to this matter. he just loves to post that now, makes him sound like he's somehow official. Trump says the oil price were higher. Not true. Everyone thinks, he thinks everyone is an idiot, which is the truth. I mean, that's where we are. Okay, so the point of which it's just obvious that people are seeing through it,

Starting point is 00:24:13 that there's a couple of like fringed people and, you know, like very influential million follower account, but they're just desperately trying to keep you thinking anything about the truth. And this is what's happening around it all, just on the swindling, fleecing side of it all. You are being robbed. Whether you support them or not, by the way, but even worse is that they seem to have extracted wealth from, I mean, almost exclusively from this thing from people who support them. I mean, I think about how gross, I mean, it's bad enough to just steal from people to rob, to manipulate, to swindle, but to do it to the people who you, it's like a church taking money from people

Starting point is 00:24:52 through manipulative means or, you know, whatever it is. It's just, it's, it's, it's, It's just, it's the worst of the worst in that category. We talked about the U.S. government fire sale on July 3rd. It's only more clear now, in my opinion. Hmm. Let me double, I'll stay with me here real quick. I want to double check something you guys can do with me. Is there something wrong with the episode on Rumble?

Starting point is 00:25:23 No, looks like we're live. Hmm, that's strange. Anyway, back to the point. Okay, U.S. government fire sale. So we're being sold out. Now, to a lot, I mean, to the highest bidder, if you want, my real gut opinion. But it's obvious that, and that's my point would be, I guess, the things that I can't necessarily verify. I think there's lots of things happening like that.

Starting point is 00:25:44 But there are plenty of them that we can clearly verify, like the cryptocurrency scams they've been running. I mean, just brazenly, right in your face. And I'm going to walk through right now very clearly to show you this. Now, the reason I want to go through this is for a couple of points. Now, this is a recent investigation, 60 minutes, of just the corruption. from Trump. Now, I want to be clear because the first comment from blind supporters are just people that think you somehow only focus on one side are to make it only, you only call it out what it's, you know that's not true. We've been screaming about Biden's corruption throughout his administration

Starting point is 00:26:13 and we still point to it. Biden and Obama and both, they're all doing the same thing. Trump just appears to be bad at it. That would be, that's my opinion. And I think you can prove that going back a long way. Trump is selling pardons. I mean, he's scamming cryptocurrency. he's selling watches and shoes and apps and it's just crazy it's complete there's a what's a word word i mean there's it's like a you know it's a it's an industry for them they're literally exploiting the entire office now 60 minutes is in a hidden camera operation we're going to play this for you right now pardon brokers will mention next and you've heard before jack berkman and jacob wool said that for 300 000 they could help a felon get a pardon for the president now this is

Starting point is 00:26:58 important to recognize what they're claiming is that they pay me and we can get it done. Doesn't necessarily mean that Trump has to know about it. But I believe he does based on his actions, and we'll get into this more in a second. They could help a felon get a pardon for the president. They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case.

Starting point is 00:27:17 Even the fact that this is happening around him, it just, it's the rampant lawlessness that I've been talking about. People see them doing at the top. And some of it's subconscious. They just, they don't even, if they're doing it, then that's how you must do it. That must be the right way to operate. And others are just taking advantage

Starting point is 00:27:35 because, well, they're going to get away, but I'm going to try too. And some of them get caught. You know, the Casper tells and Bongino, those underling level types that are just one step away from me throwing at the bus are out there splashing around

Starting point is 00:27:46 and corruption and getting really obvious about it because they're bad at their job. And I mean, the job being stealing and corrupt and thieving the politics, you know? So here is Donald Trump, or rather a 60-minute exposé about the corruption of pardons

Starting point is 00:28:00 through Trump. Found that some brokers charge as much as three million. So we decided to use hidden cameras and sent the Kavinos to meet Berkman and Wolle. I don't think your pardon, I don't think it'll be too difficult. They said they would put Ammon's pardon plea in the hands of the president and push. With this particular one, you have to put pressure on the president from all directions in a consistent way to... Why aren't these people in jail?

Starting point is 00:28:32 How is it not a crime to solicit money for pardons from the president? A pardon which is not, I mean, I guess, I mean, maybe it's not in the sense that a pardon is not necessarily illegal, but it's just, it doesn't make any, it's so obviously corrupt whether it's a crime or not. And if it's not, then that's a testament to the nature of this industry. Forced his hand. We literally want to put the pen in his hand and get him beside it because he's tired of hearing about it.

Starting point is 00:28:58 So when you went the regular route, how much did it cost you? A postage stamp. Postage stamp. That's it. And this would cost you $300,000. What did you say? I said, what's it for? And they said, well, we have to buy tickets.

Starting point is 00:29:17 We have to go to Mirralago. We have to attend events that the president's at. We have to possibly buy a $10,000 ticket to a fundraiser that the president is attending. They said we have to hire contractors to do certain things. Oh, what does that mean? things. Well, influencers that know other people that can put us in the vicinity of the people that can make a difference. Now, who do you know that is? Who do you think it is? It's listed on the next one we're going to get into. But it's all these grifting, screaming people acting like they care about the

Starting point is 00:29:50 truth. The lower lumers of the world is literally settled out to the highest bidder. And that's exactly what this is. And yet they're the, they're influencers. They're right there next to, I mean, they're in the inner circle half the time. And think about how insomers. saying that is. Some of the dumbest, most, most subjective, like comically bigoted people. And they're just, you know, flying on Air Force One. It's, to me, historically, those are the kind of people that they wouldn't publicly bandy about because they're ridiculous and disgusting. And, you know, but they've always, but they still have always historically had relationships with people like that. It's just Trump's just putting it on the surface. I don't know why.

Starting point is 00:30:25 There's only two, a couple seconds left. What we do is we mobilize members of Congress to call here. We use certain influencers who have regular meetings to call him. And we put him in a concert movement. Yeah. So now I wonder what Trump will say now that he gets winded this. Oh, so you've been manipulating me? Or is he aware of it? And now he's mad that the scam is getting let out. Who's to say? Pretty interesting. Now, there's more to it. There's actually another clip I'll play in this next clip. Actually, it's more of a bigger segment

Starting point is 00:30:52 on just pardons and manipulation. First, as Orwell shared, reminder on who surrounds the president. Maxwell, just Lane Maxwell, paid $25,000 to, fake news purveyor Jacob Wall to smear Epstein victims and to get prosecutor Jeffrey Berman fired an attempt to stall sex trafficking investigation against her. Those are the same people you just saw. The same people that are still in Trump's inner circle, that are still taking money from Maxwell helping the Epstein network and now they're over here selling partners to other people. Clearly they must know about this, guys.

Starting point is 00:31:26 I mean, that's my opinion, but that's pretty damn disgusting. Reggie B post this. Rapper Boozy Badaz tells Leslie Stahl that he was led to believe that if he gave $600,000, he would be issued a pardon. He was promised, promised that Laura Lumer, Erica Kirk, Mike Johnson, and Natalie Hart. Interesting that Mike Johnson, as a member of Congress, the Speaker of the House, is listed in there next to a bunch of, you know, I mean, Erica Kirk, Laura Lumer. Like, think about the level we're talking about. Natalie Hart, and that's not a compliment, by the way, but the type of, you know, in soulless selling of yourself kind of height. Natalie Harp would advocate for his pardon. I just thought this was the way it was done.

Starting point is 00:32:05 No, you didn't. But let's not, let's not act like these people weren't shamelessly trying to buy their way out of a problem. Now, I'm not even going to speak to whether guilty or not, but that's still obviously not. You know, this is how we're supposed to do it. No, it's not. Don't do that. But it's still obvious to point out that this was corrupt from the inside of the industry, the system, the administration. But I was led to believe, if you come with this money, you will get a pardon. How much did you give them up front? So the question is who led that belief?

Starting point is 00:32:33 My gut tells me that's coming from the top because that's a money machine right now. 600K. Yeah. We have some texts that they sent to your lawyer. This text listed the influential people they supposedly recruited. Laura Lumer. Erica Kirk. And so just to be clear, those are the names they sent.

Starting point is 00:32:56 It doesn't make it necessarily true, but I believe it is. Johnson, he's the Speaker of the House. Another text, the broker mentions Natalie Harp. She's the executive assistant that's very close to the president and suggests that she's going to personally hand your application to the president. Yeah, yeah. I just thought, I mean, this is the way it's done. I'm paying these guys.

Starting point is 00:33:22 Now, I guess you could argue what he means is how it's actually done. Not that it's the right way to do it, but, you know, legal, not right? whatever, but that that's how it actually works in the inner circle. And he's probably right. And they don't make it happen. They didn't make it happen. Same people. He didn't get his pardon.

Starting point is 00:33:41 As for the four people they claim to know, they denied any involvement in the case. Look at that. Bozzy's contract with the brokers stipulated that if he wasn't pardoned, he'd get half his money back. But they won't pay claiming the contract is invalid. They're just scamming people, man. And denying they sent the text. The rapper is suing.

Starting point is 00:34:05 I say, just returning, you didn't get my pardon. It's a bunch of BS. That's it. And they were so cocky. That's interesting, right? Because, okay, so what you're saying is, I mean, think about it because he's saying return the money. It's like suing them.

Starting point is 00:34:20 I'm trying to think about what the real crime is in here. Like somebody in the chat said, pardoning Fauci was a crime. Like, I agree. But I don't think because of the way it's set up, I don't even think president should have this power just to be just to arbitrarily pardon people. I don't think that makes any sense. It kind of exactly as we're seeing today circumvents the system, the way it's set up with checks and balances. But the idea is as of right now, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just thinking out

Starting point is 00:34:41 loud, is that a pardon is not necessarily like a, it's not criminal act. Like you can pardon whoever you want, right, as a president. So for him to pay somebody to claim to be able to get that to happen, I'm failing to see where the crime would be, even though it's obviously criminal in my mind, like the way it's, that's why they're denying that it's happening. It's just corrupt, right? Rather the better way to say it. But I find it interesting, though. Now he's going to sue them in public for, for,

Starting point is 00:35:06 he's going to have to be the one thing. I tried to get my, I tried to bribe them to get a pardon and I'm suing them to give my money back. I just find that really interesting. But I'm interested to see where it goes. Please keep this in front of me because I'm probably going to miss this one. I'm interested to see what the lawsuit becomes and what actually gets to come out. You know, how much you want to bet they just give him some money to stop him

Starting point is 00:35:25 from making a splash because then, you know, discovery might call attention to things they don't like. Hmm. We're thinking about. All right. Continuing. Jeff Steenstein posted this. Four anonymous accounts that perfectly correspond with Trump and

Starting point is 00:35:41 sons' holdings that have taken first steps to enable offloading of family's own crypto shows records, record show. Could be worth billions of dollars. So this is interesting to me because I'm going to go through really quickly before even read the article. The way that American people were completely manipulated. the ones that were involved with this and still are by the way now you mean you could always argue that it was just a failed effort but you wouldn't have five of these continually and they wouldn't

Starting point is 00:36:08 keep doing other new ones after they fit it's it's it's not stifling uh siphoning money from the american people that support them and it's just it's just despicable and what you're going to see is that what they're discussing here is the idea they've just taken a move which as the information shows is optional they're claiming they have to and it shows that it's optional that they're moving their money into a position, which then gives them the ability after two years to sell it all and to get rid of it, which would make it collapse. And I think the reason they're doing that now

Starting point is 00:36:38 when they basically claim they wouldn't do that in the past is because it's completely collapsed. And it's not going back up. And they know that. So all they're going to do, they've made tons already from the initial, they're just going to get rid of what they have left. That's what it seems like to me. Let's see.

Starting point is 00:36:52 First, January 20th, 2025. It's just begun. Trump and Cryptexex, tease huge White House plans. Crypto markets, remember this is January 2025. Crypto markets have been rocked by the launch of an official Donald Trump meme coin. Now, which one is that? Is that technically Liberty Financial is not considered a meme coin even though it's a complete scam, my opinion? But you know, Lilania, is it Trump? Is it American Bitcoin? Which one are we talking about? Now as leaks reveal Trump is readying a flurry of crypto-focused executive orders.

Starting point is 00:37:25 Whoa, whoa, whoa. So you told me he started his own cryptocurrencies. and then signed executive orders that affected those cryptocurrencies. Yeah, that's totally on the up and up, guys. Trump's wife, Melania, has launched her own rival cryptocurrency. Sure, they're rivaling for your money. And it's all going to the same team. So it says the official Melania meme is live, she posts. The incoming First Lady said on Twitter,

Starting point is 00:37:48 alongside a link to the website selling cryptocurrency. You can buy Melania now. Price of Melania's coin surged as traders rush to buy it. Not really. for maybe a brief moment and then instantly went down ever since. Now it says the price surge is the way to rush to buy it, pushing it to more than $5 and giving it a fully diluted market cap of $5 billion. Remember that.

Starting point is 00:38:12 Like Trump's coin, Melania's meme coin, a type of cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin, not even close, that derives value from level of community interest and engagement. Look at you disgustingly miss... That's not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not driven simply by the... I mean, it is somewhat true, but there's so much more to it if you understand the way it's originally designed, right?

Starting point is 00:38:35 This is a pyramid scheme. So too, like most stocks today, if you understand the way it works. It used to be where you bought into something and it was basically owning a piece of the company. Today, that's not how it works. Most of them, anyway, you buy some Apple, you basically gain money if the stock goes up.

Starting point is 00:38:50 If more people buy, it's a pyramid scheme. Literally the definition of it. Now, so my point here is that Bitcoin, has a value other than the actual currency. That's the whole point of it. It wasn't meant to be. It was designed to be. People will debate it.

Starting point is 00:39:02 I agree. I think the point was originally, clearly was not designed to be some store or value like they're talking about today. That's obvious if you simply read the white paper. So for them to conflate the two, I think, is just bad jobs. This is Forbes. They should know better, I would think. Now it says, this is beyond insane analyst at the Khabisi letter posted.

Starting point is 00:39:21 Less than 48 hours ago Donald Trump launched Trump. which just erased $7.5 billion in market cap in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Think about how insane that is. I think that was the last part. Yeah. Okay. So let's just quickly show you these.

Starting point is 00:39:39 Okay, this is World Liberty Financial. The all, this is the entire thing. It literally went down. It had a couple of spikes, but it went down, down, down. Now, the main point is here. it started at $3.8 billion. See that? 3.8 billion.

Starting point is 00:39:59 Where it is right now, $47 million. 47 million, because they wiped out the vast majority of the value, which means anybody that bought in lost money. Now, look, if you bought in when he was pushing it,

Starting point is 00:40:13 which is all right here in the beginning, when everybody was hyped about it, well, you never made your money back. It dropped dramatically by $2 billion. dollars within 831. So within a week, one week later, it had dropped $2 billion in value, give or take. And then maybe went back up half a billion, you know, up and down up and all the way. Okay, let's make it quick.

Starting point is 00:40:37 That's your successful coin that was supposed to, as I'll read in the article next, they've argued this would be like a revolution for the financial industry. They just stole money from you. That's what they did. Here is the Melania coin. Now that this guys is, I mean, you could have argued world liberty was just an attempt and failed, right? I disagree. I mean, that's my opinion.

Starting point is 00:41:00 I mean, who knows if there's other vying interest, but that's what it looks like up and down. This is a pump and dump. That's, this is what it looks like. Melania, this started here, 226 million and then shot up to $5 billion. Five billion within, I mean. I mean, geez, within one day, and then instantly within the next day is down to 113 million. Or within the next, that's five days, four days. And then it went down to basically under zero, just zero, gun, forever.

Starting point is 00:41:40 $5 billion wiped out. Now, again, understand, that's money that people put in, but also anybody that bought into it lost everything, almost instantly. That's another one. This keeps doing this. This is so funny to me. Notice how it shows all. Twitter is so manipulative, I swear. And I don't even know what this little graph is. Now check this out. Here's today. Oh, it is today. All. I had it on all. For some reason, just if you let the page sit, it just reverts to one day and stays on the all tab. Totally not trying to convince anybody that's working, I guess. But here's official Trump coin. So that's a different one, right? Zero. Here is American Bitcoin.

Starting point is 00:42:23 Eric Trump details families $1 billion crypto ventures, $1 billion crypto ventures. Eric Trump wants you to know, then this is on, just three months ago, Eric Trump wants you to know the family business has evolved.

Starting point is 00:42:37 The president's son declared that the Trump family has launched three of the most successful cryptocurrency projects in history, collectively generating over $1 billion in pre-tax profits. Yep. money they got right away and then this all went down so trump meme coin world liberty financial we

Starting point is 00:42:55 showed you molania we should there's others to american bitcoin is the other one that he's promoting as his number three right well there it is american bitcoin court look at this boom doesn't show exactly what it is but look at that spike it shoots up warbles and then flat lines way below where it even started guys now you got to ask yourself are they just bad at this or they just, I mean, if they are, then why do people keep giving them money? My opinion is that this is gaining lots of money for their inner circle at your expense, whether it's because they're shorting it with a plan to do this. I mean, look at Elon Musk and SpaceX.

Starting point is 00:43:37 I don't think these things are by accident. They had all these announcements. He becomes the world's first trillionaire. And then his stock collapses by like 200%. But guess what? It was still up 100%. Now, if you knew that was going to happen somehow, you would make an incredible amount of money and still end up above with your stock.

Starting point is 00:43:54 But people that bought in because it was going to explode lost 200%. I just, this is, I think, by design, I really do. Okay, we also have his NFT project. Remember that? Remember these cool NFTs that he was doing? They were so cool. One of the earliest ventures tied to Donald Trump was his non-fundable tokens,

Starting point is 00:44:18 NFT card collection. Well, here it is. That's from start to finish. jumps up and then never reached it again, just like every other project they're involved in, and now it is, you know, a fraction of what it started at. Every single one of them. Now, you can give them the benefit of the doubt if you want. I personally think it's quite obvious.

Starting point is 00:44:40 This is corruption. Parsing the Trump's crypto profits, investors' losses. This is from June 9th. Reuters set out to determine just how much money the Trumps have made from their four main crypto projects, how much of their own cash they staked in these projects, and how outside investors and those projects have failed. Just very quickly, the answers to these are what you might imagine, right? Largely used other people's money, largely gained incredibly.

Starting point is 00:45:03 People didn't make any money. The people that put their money in failed, didn't make it back. It's consistent, guys. Now, why do they have a reputation for being such savvy bit they do in the cutthroat world? They will rob everybody. And then the people around them called them the greatest businessman in the world. But they're stealing and robbing. That's how I look at anyway.

Starting point is 00:45:20 It's corrupt. But maybe you think I'm naive. Maybe this is the way business works. I disagree. And it says there are four main crypto projects. Now, the conclusion simply, the Trump family has made $2.3 billion from crypto with little to no downside risk. The risk was all yours, guys, while other investors have lost $2.3 billion, including paper losses. Weird how it's the same, isn't it?

Starting point is 00:45:47 Little to no risk. It's just depressing. Okay. The Washington Sun, the article we were going to point to, or we, you know, pointed to the selling of the world liberty financial. Is the Trump family preparing to cash out? It's on its own crypto. After, as I showed you, it's bottomed out. September 14th from today, Donald Trump and his three sons have taken a step that would permit them to cash out the digital tokens created by the family's cryptocurrency firm, intensifying concerns from ethics experts, like everything else, about potential conflicts of interest.

Starting point is 00:46:27 Again, you know, I'm going to bring it up and plenty of others. that they never even signed the ethics pledges show you that they don't care. And as we'll get into it even more, that these very projects are basically, you know, back doors for foreign powers, guys. It's what this is and how that lines up with what's going on in the world today. On May 19th, four anonymous digital wallets simultaneously moved more than $20 billion in World Liberty Financial, one of the two crypto tokens launched by the Trump's firm to a investing contract to move the money to a vesting contract.

Starting point is 00:46:58 the new contract kicks off a waiting period, I believe two years, after which the accounts are able to sell their holdings. One of the exchanges was for the precise amount of crypto that Trump was awarded when setting up the firm, World Liberty Financial, which he controls. Three of the others match precisely the amount of crypto given to the other relatives of the president. It's pretty obvious that that's theirs. I mean, it's possible that there's an exact amount like that out there that might be selling, but that all four of them would sell at the same time of the exact amounts of each one of them. come on. I mean, you've got to be obvious that that is, you know, almost, almost provably outside of like a small under 1% possibility, something like that. But still possible that it could be somebody else, but it's obviously that. Three of the others match precisely the amount of the

Starting point is 00:47:44 cryptos given to the family. Trump's sons, Don Jr., Eric and Barron, are the only other family members who have been identified as founders, which means they got the money in the beginning. The change to the holdings has not been previously reported. denied that the new vesting contract represented a first step towards the sale of tokens. They said that's not what's happening, but World Liberty Financial token holders approved a governance proposal that obliged the founders to burn 10% of their holdings. The point is, as I read in a second, it's by their own contracts and documents, they don't have to.

Starting point is 00:48:15 So saying it's basically denied, well, I'll keep reading it. It makes it more clear. However, three experts who reviewed World Liberty Financial's governance documents told the Washington Sun, the transaction was optional, meaning they don't have to do this and get rid of it. And government watchdogs are concerned the Trump family is taking steps to get a payout. Of course, that might mean that they just aren't aware that they've already getting billions of dollars from this project. And well, I guess what it means is they've already gained over the top. So even if they cash this out for less than what they got for free, it still would get a benefit for

Starting point is 00:48:45 them because they didn't pay for this cryptocurrency. It has never been clear that World Liberty Financial was supposed to do other than enrich the Trumps, he says. And here we have them taking the first avenue that they can to offload their coins. Again, they sold it as some massive new project. It just seems that we're just stealing money. Still a two-year vesting period before the tokens can be sold, as I thought. World Liberty Financial brands itself as a next-generation financial platform. In what way?

Starting point is 00:49:10 Like, in what way is there even the functional tech behind it that I, I mean, maybe I'm missing that. For a lot, it just looks like a meme coin, basically. But they say that will improve the speed and efficiency of sending money between platforms, you know, but it didn't, it bottomed out, and that's not the case. Government watchdogs have long warned that it could instead amount to a legal way for foreign investors and domestic consumers to curry favor with the Trump family by purchasing a token currency of, they say, of little real value.

Starting point is 00:49:40 Now, I hate the way they frame it in this because the truth is it's of lower value than it was when they started dramatically, like 2%. But it is not of little real value. This is them either being so shockingly out of the know when it comes to the value. of cryptocurrency, or because there's an agenda to make you think cryptocurrency is not valuable. I mean, we're long since past the establishment adopting this system, whether it's Trump's administration or not. Cryptocurrency is currency, and it is valuable.

Starting point is 00:50:07 If you can go buy some at a kiosk at 7-Eleven and use it to buy things in the same place, it is currency, guys. It's not some dream. It's just crazy. Frankly, I think most of the ones that we're calling it a bubble, we're all getting in then anyway. The truth is that it is a value. It's exactly the value that it's currently stated as, and you could sell it for such.

Starting point is 00:50:23 So it's funny they say that. But either way, currying favor, meaning despite their incorrect last point, that people could buy into it and you wouldn't know any better and it would gain them money or exchange through that in ways that we can't see

Starting point is 00:50:37 that they claim isn't connected to them. On top of everything else that we've discussed, all the other ways they can find ways to benefit through these connections with foreign powers. The president has already reported more than a $550 million income from sale of World Liberty Financial tokens,

Starting point is 00:50:52 while retail investors have lost one billion from their investments in the company. The other one was like a all a bigger view of the entire, you know, two billion, three point three in losses. This is specifically just World Liberty, one billion. According to analysis by a blockchain company, before the transfers, the crypto tokens were considered locked and could not be moved, which was something they framed as like a guarantee this would not go away, right? After the transfers, the tokens can be sold after a vesting period.

Starting point is 00:51:21 They say explicitly in the World Liberty Financial proposal that was voted in that this was optional. The Trump family is laying the groundwork to simply cash out while basically pretending like they have to do this. The opportunity to use Trump's crypto firm to buy influence with the White House has raised alarms. Chinese crypto billionaire, this one I think we've been pointed to. Justin's son, about 75 million in World Liberty Financial tokens, after which the SEC, see, just coincidentally dismissed an outstanding civil fraud lawsuit against Sun and his businesses. What a coincidence. Four days before Trump's inauguration, a firm backed by top officials in the United Arab Emirates, also purchased about a 50% stake in the family crypto firm.

Starting point is 00:52:05 Oh, well, here's, you know, here's a plane. Here's money. This is a fire sale, guys. It's right there in the documents. It is an option. So the point is, as they continue to pretend like this is something they're being forced to do, it's in the contract, it's not. And, it seems they're just about to sell out finally you know i don't know why they wouldn't just break i mean i who knows i'm not going to get into the guessing game of this the end of the day what they're doing is enough and as i said the missing ethics pledges i think makes it very clear the discussion at the time was that it could give people you know that he may have you know contracts with a foreign power and we would never know that's what the people in the inside of the the group that was

Starting point is 00:52:42 dealing with the ethics pledges said and exactly right i think we also just talked about the point that he's making it easier for foreign companies or foreign governments to secretly operate U.S. companies by removing that requirement to demonstrate that as Israel's never run more U.S. companies in my life. And I mean, provably, just making that a quick point.

Starting point is 00:53:02 We also have the example of him creating state-back private cyber attack forces with wildly riddled Israeli spyware unit 800 companies. Just all across the board. And it's not just about Israel, but I'm worried about that and the, you know, genocide and all

Starting point is 00:53:16 and what they're doing in the world. but anybody is the point. Now, talking about the technocrat side of this, which all blurs together when you look at it big picture. But as Edward Dowd points out, actually he highlights this first from September 10th, the post-Labor Day AI panic sciop has been launched. Anthropic Open AI and governments are the prime beneficiaries. Basically, there's been this shift in the narrative around AI recently. We had a lot of the talk about how, you know, AI and dangers and all the, and it made no sense.

Starting point is 00:53:47 why would they be talking about the risk that they're probably it's always i agree with them i a lot of people have been said it feels like it organized you know to take the steam off to make it so we're not calling them the enemy when they're the ones going i don't know there's a problem nothing is slowing down guys now on top of that there was this conversation on top of this about um what was the other one it was the the oh exactly that and then also recently over the last couple days anthropic and some others have been acting like now they're going to slow way back down And both things, I agree, are wildly untrue, my opinion. So he says, posted this on the 11th.

Starting point is 00:54:25 In May of 2024, Mark Andreessen had a meeting. Look at that. They didn't know that was the count. Had a meeting with the Biden White House where it was revealed that only two to three AI companies would exist. Due to government regulations and no startups would exist. He has been vocal about that meeting. He's brought it up in numerous podcasts and keeps made. that point up until very recently.

Starting point is 00:54:50 Then yesterday, Politico suddenly writes an article saying it didn't happen, citing Biden's inside people that were there, and they wrote this article. More, again, they can be lying, obviously, but it says more evidence that this is an op with the blessing of the deep state and three-letter agencies. They want total control and a fusion of AI in the state. I agree. The real fear shouldn't, should we all, we are all going to die, but instead we're building our out digital jailer.

Starting point is 00:55:17 The point being is that, you know, there is obvious concern. No one seems to be slowing down whatsoever. Here is the article written by Bruce Reed, Ben Buchanan. Bruce Reed was the deputy chief of staff at the Biden White House. Buchanan was the White House Special Advisor for Artificial Intelligence, both of whom were in this meeting. And so what they're claiming is that Andreessen lied about that. So the question is why? Why would he argue there were only be a few?

Starting point is 00:55:44 Why would he argue, you know, my gut, and I'll tell you now, and I'll point that as we go through is it's just like we've discussed. One side of it is creating this idea that it's going to be controlled and managed and secondarily that we're in a rapid race to beat the bad powers in the world, both of which seem to be false. Since the election of Donald Trump, venture capitalist Mark Andresen has told one podcaster after another of a May 24 launch in the Biden White House where he claims we and our colleagues, we being the two we just mentioned, that's the other one's writing this,

Starting point is 00:56:15 shared a secret plan to effectively ban AI startups, which he and his partner, Ben Harrowitz, found so alarming, they left the West Wing telling each other, yep, we're for Trump. I guess another one could be that this is the way they tried to frame the rationalization for why Trump was the answer. I think just like we'll get to the Ron part is because he was the one that would be blindly willing to let it happen because of his own benefit or at least perceived benefit.

Starting point is 00:56:39 I mean, my opinion of what Trump is lowers by the day. that's not some trumped arrangement syndrome it's about the reality of what he's doing and demonstrating and i've always even from the first administration wondered you know is he is he is he part of this is he lying is he you know leading the agenda to trick or is he being used or is it somewhere in the middle you know i think same with biden in many ways but as biden became more and more obviously seen i think the answer was obvious so the point though is that right now i mean guys we got to admit that i think trump is just floundering around i mean that he there has never really been as insightful and in the know as he's always claimed, which makes a lot of sense, or he's just

Starting point is 00:57:18 diminished or something. It's just, it's different. But anyway, back to the point, for two years, we've held our tongue, they say. We don't know whether Andresen has simply misremembered our discussion or purposely misrepresented it. But as the AI policy debate, once again, centers on questions of corporate power and government oversight, which neither side cares about, guys, is time to set the record straight. So, I mean, maybe these two do. Who's to know, who's to say that these two were in the, I don't know. But when it comes to the top, are we really going to pretend that Biden's administration was more concerned about the AI controlled and Trump? I don't know. This makes no sense to me. Anything is possible. I just don't see them as different. And I think the agenda, whether foreign policy

Starting point is 00:57:58 or controlling your life, is one and the same. They just go at it from different angles. One side gets the other side to feel a certain way and the other side does the same. And they both get you right where they need you. So in this case, the idea is framing Biden as the one that wants to control and Trump's going to set it free. But they both did the same thing, essentially. Words of the difference. It says, far from a revelation about AI policy, most of that 2024 meeting was about other issues and largely amounted to two businessmen airing financial and regulatory

Starting point is 00:58:30 grievances. So it turns out that wasn't even actually what happened, right? So if him framing Biden as this controlling thing on AI, if that wasn't true, what was he doing it for? then you could argue it's to drive support to Trump, or maybe it's to frame Trump for being the one that opens this door, or many other things you could consider. And it says behind closed doors,

Starting point is 00:58:54 their loudest rants focused not on AI, but on the more likely reasons they supported Trump. Biden's proposed billionaire minimum tax and SEC's oversight of cryptocurrency. Well, it's very relevant. Andresen was adamant that Washington was choking the crypto industry in which his firm is a leading investor. Now, don't forget, guys, they're using digital currency, which is what we're talking about at the end of the day in a broad sense in every single project they're involved in, whether it's the network state agenda, the Gaza, the Freedom City they're building. This is the direction for the world they want to build.

Starting point is 00:59:28 So if he saw Trump being the frivolous, you know, do whatever you want, if we can benefit open door, drove him to be the crypto president when he doesn't even know what he's talking about. It's like everything else I think right now. And so it makes sense. Look at what they're doing. And then Trump profited on his own. Andresen has since told Ross do that on his podcast that we, that we said government regulation of AI would mean there will be no startups, only two or three large AI companies. But we said no such thing, they said. The experience he describes as essential to his political conversion simply never happened. Well, isn't that interesting? For the record, here's what we did, here's what did when we talked about AI. For the record, here's what did.

Starting point is 01:00:16 Oh, in regard to no such thing. Anyway, happened. I'm just confusing myself. The point here, though, is we saw this weird flip right where they said, oh, we're suddenly Republicans because it wasn't true. So now he's framing this as this idea of why he rushed over to support Trump. and didn't even, so this has all been orchestrated.

Starting point is 01:00:37 It's a stage setting, guys. They're driving us in this direction. That's what it feels like to me. First, Andresen warned us to watch out for the sex cult that wants to run America's AI policy. I honestly, they framed it differently. I honestly think that's him just trying to lob into the woke, Democrat, evil, bad stuff,

Starting point is 01:00:52 which mostly I agree with in the sense of the things we're discussing, but it's no different than the right. The power structure, the government and the team sport politics. Epstein, come on, guys. Let's not fixate on the framing. the point is that he's doing this just like, what is it, Teal and the rest, or Alice Carp wrote the book. They're all like switching their political views to make it look like it's being orchestrated. Now, I'm not saying they don't believe some of these things, but it's clear that this was driven through Trump's political agenda.

Starting point is 01:01:19 And I think that's what the point was. And what they want is crypto and AI and digital control. Second, it says we discussed the most significant action in the Biden AI executive order. What about AI, the executive order about AI, rather, requiring leading AI companies to share safety test results with the government. An action, Trump would later revoke, then revive. Silly. We emphasized that to avoid harming startups, we crafted our policy to apply only to the largest

Starting point is 01:01:44 firms. Now, here's the thing that stands up to me. What do you get from this? It's not about if, it's about how, as always. And so if a government is hell bent on driving their AI agenda, even though they're shockingly far ahead of anybody else in the world while framing it as they have to beat the other, I just lost my place. Oh, right, right.

Starting point is 01:02:07 They're basically, you know, they're using the framing to that. It's why we have to rush. The point is not one side's not going if or they're going, we do it this way or we do it that way. So guaranteed it's going to happen, right? Trump wants to do it this way. We want to make sure we do a test this way. We want an executive order to make, you know, to have safety tests on small ones and all the big

Starting point is 01:02:25 ones. Either way, you still have an AI direction. You still have the data centers. So the point is it's about getting you to choose between lesser of evils, like everything else they do and it's never your choice anymore. That's what I think stands out from the whole thing. War with Iran, they all want more with Iran, guys. They just debate on how it should be done. And frankly, I don't even think that's real. I think they only do that when they're not in the seat so they can make it look like they challenge the power. What do they say? Well, they don't want

Starting point is 01:02:52 Iran needs to be taken out. We just don't want that we should have done it through the Congress. Well, I technically agree that anything like that should have been done through Congress, but it doesn't mean we still agree we want war. Why are we doing it in the first place whether Congress agrees. That's the point. Now back to this. Third, Andresen was under the mistaken impression of the Biden administration had banned or would soon ban open weight AI models, models for which developers publish the model weights that enable others to refine them further, including by removing safeguards. Right. So remember, the point is mistaken impression. So the framing Biden as this restrictive thing, which wasn't actually the case. Seems pretty dishonest for a very clear agenda. Fourth, it says during the

Starting point is 01:03:34 of AI regulation. They said that there was no such thing as classified math, something that's been discussed. We noted that there are, in fact, both cryptographic secrets and nuclear ones. We most certainly did not say there was a plan, secret or otherwise, to classify the math underlying AI,

Starting point is 01:03:51 nor would it be possible to do so, since the core math of AI, linear algebra is taught in high schools. So what's funny, so they're playing on the stupidity of average people to say Biden was going to classify the math. the right when so they claim that wasn't even real which like so much else coming out of this administration it's just whole cloth lies which by the way not even to get into this but it's a clip

Starting point is 01:04:13 going around of john stewart talking to somebody from the EU and he's so obviously being sarcastic talking about how the you know we don't have a administration that will blindly glide from whole cloth and what that would be one of these blind trump supporters put it out was like he's almost got there he almost sees it like they just can't it's like the point earlier they only see through this lens of like Democrats and everybody. And so they think the EU and they're the problem and John Stewart's on their Democrat side. So he thinks they're the problem. No. Yeah. I mean, he is in the Democrat side and he is lost in the paradigm and he is part of the problem. But he is correctly calling out corruption. And they do see it. Everybody sees Trump's

Starting point is 01:04:54 corruption. It's not unique to Trump, but it's funny how that is the only way they can read it. Somehow John Stewart is incapable of seeing that our government's corrupt. Doesn't that not make sense when you take one step back? It's just funny to me that people are so lost in the partisanship. I shouldn't even brought that up. Anyway, back to the point. Where was it? The most certainly did not say there was a plan, secret or otherwise. Yeah, so the point was about lying about this from nothing.

Starting point is 01:05:17 If they're being accurate, which we should question, but if we're looking at this administration, I think, you know, how they've been conducting themselves, it does line up. Finally, Andresen and Harrowitz, right? Mark Andreessen and then Harrowitz of the other part of the company suggested the face of the pace of Frontier AI improvement was hitting a ceiling. A point they repeated on a podcast,

Starting point is 01:05:36 six months later, we said the technology would get much better due to the rapid expansion of computing power making U.S. Frontier Labs hard to catch. That seemed to irritate the two men who said they were major investors in Mistrol, a French startup. They said focused more on AI applications than Frontier development. Today, Aminstrel is the European leader, projecting a little over one billion in annualized revenue. Meanwhile, leading American AI firms reportedly take in more than 65 billion. So if I had to read that, what irritated them is saying that the technology would make it better or would get better due to the rapid expansion of computing power, making those labs hard to catch. And the argument, I guess, being like the pushback, I don't, it doesn't make any sense with what they've now been saying, right?

Starting point is 01:06:26 Wouldn't the idea being that you want U.S. companies to jump out in front unless I'm misunderstanding something? But the point is either way, despite the pushback, that's where they ended up anyway. $64 billion ahead. Now it says if a transcript of the meeting existed, no one who read it would conclude that we had conveyed any intention to ban AI startups. Other AI executives that we spoke with

Starting point is 01:06:47 during our time in office, even those who have been critical have later denied hearing any such plans. So it seems pretty clear, why did Mark make this up? President Biden directed agencies to prioritize buying AI services from a range of vendors,

Starting point is 01:07:01 including smaller and non-traditional ones, to the chagrin of larger companies that complained to us. So that might just be that they wanted the Palantir, you know, they wanted their focus on their companies, is even though it seems to be the opposite. Like, you know, it's, the point is, it seems that the entire narrative of how this went was a construct. Where they are now is clearly what they wanted, I would argue.

Starting point is 01:07:21 So to me, that's what, you know, it lines up that they wanted to be the sole owners of this. Why? Because in the technocratic direction, with Trump selling everything out to them, once they control this, you mean, control the world. world, guys. If they get to a point to where they have some real functioning thing like they're building, the amount of power and insight and information and digital control, it's, that's why there, I mean, there is a race, clearly, the idea that there's some close races that lie. But I think they want that control. I think they want, I think they see themselves as the rulers of the world, not to be too,

Starting point is 01:07:52 hyperbolic, I guess, once they have this kind of control. And maybe that's how they see themselves now. It says, ironically, we took these and other actions because we share some of Andreessen's concerns about the risks of just a few companies concentrating power and AI. That's why they say ironically, right? So I believe I'm reading that correctly. That is why during our time in office, we fought to make sure the government was prepared to regulate the largest companies. Right. So again, happens either way. They just debate on how. The real question is, and again, by the way, that itself could be the siop. The whole thing is about getting us to think they're combating each other. And really, they're all just doing it to get us to think there's some kind of back and forth, worth considering. The real question is not what

Starting point is 01:08:35 happened in a single meeting in 2024, it is whether the United States is a strategy for ensuring that the most transformative technology of our time does not end up controlled by a handful of firms accountable to no one, which is literally where we are right now, guys. Andresen views regulation as a threat to innovation. Now, isn't this what we heard at the beginning? And I kept telling you guys this, this is what the whole no regulation thing was actually about. And even though they stopped that in regard to being on record in regard to the AI direction, Ludnik already made it clear and Trump was on board. We're not regulating this. And that's been pretty clear so far. Him saying that he sees regulation and threat to innovation is what drove that conversation.

Starting point is 01:09:13 Now, as I said, that doesn't mean they're going to, you're allowed to now collect rainwater. Guys, that's not the point. They're going to hammer those even harder, even from Trump, as I think you're catching wind up. They're going to stop, they're going to allow companies to dump in your river. They're going to allow these people to rush forward to do a dangerous direction just for their benefit regardless of the consequences. That's the kind of regulation they're moving. And the point, is that I think Andresen, as we'll get into in a second, drove that. And it says, but the greater threat to innovation and indeed to society is the failure to regulate

Starting point is 01:09:45 big companies in an effective, consistent manner. Frankly, I don't want them to exist at all in this direction, but that's probably highly unlikely today. That's bad for startups and the public. A market that looks ironically a lot like the one Andreessen claims to fear. And the administration he endorsed may produce. I think that's exactly the point. making and I think that's exactly the point that should be taken.

Starting point is 01:10:08 He, this is the plan. And if you frame, just like AI right now is going, we don't know, ringing their hands, this is getting bad. We do this maybe go wrong as they rush forward and don't slow down. They don't mean it. That's what I would argue. He didn't mean it then. They don't mean it now. He's getting what he wants. He can be like it's the same thing, guys. That's my worry. I think the evidence is pretty damn clear. As Ian in this together on Twitter points out in his latest article, the Praxian genocidal kill chain, the point was, if you read this, it's well done, it goes well beyond the idea of network states and individual territories. This is clearly, as they make clear, about a global transition, like I've been discussing,

Starting point is 01:10:50 like Ian wrote about, like it's guys, you've got to start waking up to what's happening. Doesn't mean it's going to happen that way. Maybe they fail. I hope so. But at the end of the day, this is being driven through Trump's administration, and it might not even be what he's aware of, frankly. I used to say, but we have to pay attention because, man, this is happening. And it's not just the United States.

Starting point is 01:11:07 It's happening all around the world. And all these people were discussing, all these billionaire leaders are creating this. And I'm not suggesting they're all sitting in a room talking about who knows how this goes. But they all have their vying agendas, or rather vying, but also aligning. But they all have their own things they're aiming for. And as I've talked about so many times, half the time I think they just align themselves with agendas that they think will benefit them. it's like Trump making deals, then sabotaging it the next day because it doesn't work for me more. This is the same thing.

Starting point is 01:11:36 Or Biden, by the way, just about who's the president. Now, I want to read this one as well that goes back to 2025. Washington Post. Elon Musk isn't the only tech leader helping shape the Trump administration. Mark Andreessen has been quietly and successfully recruiting candidates for positions across Trump's Washington. So they orchestrated this entire thing. nothing new. During an intimate dinner in his New Jersey golf club last summer,

Starting point is 01:12:04 President-elect Donald Trump told the prominent Silicon Valley investor Mark Andreessen that he wanted American tech companies to win a global race against China. Yeah, so he very well lied to Trump, just like he lied to everybody else. And maybe Trump bought it, just like I think he's buying everything else. A dark money campaign is paying influencers to frame China AI as a threat. Again, now it's 13 times as many as China has last time I checked. 13 times as many data centers. Shockingly far ahead.

Starting point is 01:12:32 And guess who's paying for this? A super PAC, bankroll by OpenAI, Mark Andresen, Harowitz, people from Palantir. You have to say it's all in the article. Read it for yourself. That's the point. They're paying them. They're paying for a campaign, just like Israel's paying for campaigns, to convince you of things that aren't true for their benefit. So he told Trump, oh, shoot.

Starting point is 01:12:56 well that's too bad oh nice see and that's why i do that right there sorry for the podcast i accidentally highlighted the whole thing and then i lost what i had highlighted but i have a picture so again convincing donald trump of a race against china i mean he may i think he believes that you know and so now he's in this you know basically he convinced him to to rush this forward that's what it feels like but oh yeah it's possible trump's involved but that's you know that's what at least the way they're framing me on the article in Trump and Dresen saw a potential ally whose ambitions to beat China could be a boon to the U.S. tech industry.

Starting point is 01:13:33 Now, it says, Andreessen has been quietly and successfully recruiting and interviewing candidates. That's so crazy to me. Four positions across Trump's administration. A tech mogul tied to, I mean, we've all the things this guy's connected to, including his rule, including palin, you're telling me that you're letting him interview people for your, for the American government that they, they, they, they, voted for? Come on. That's insane. It just shows you who's dictating this stuff and they're not even hiding it. The venture capital's reach is not limited to decisions related to tech and economic

Starting point is 01:14:05 personnel, which is where his wheelhouse is, right? One person who speaks to Trump regularly said, and Drison has also advised Donald Trump's administration on candidates for post, you know, like the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, you know, the small stuff. Which by the way, which is why this happened. Oh, and you know what? I, forgot about the other one too. Let me grab this one too. Let's see if this pops up. There we go.

Starting point is 01:14:39 First, the attachment 201. You forgot. Literally people from Open AI, Pallantier, Meta, literally became colonels in the military. June 19th. Swore in as colonels.

Starting point is 01:14:56 Not civilian military with white lab coat, which exists, but actual military, which means they can give orders to anybody underneath them. and talk to Brad Miller about this. It's insane. It's exactly.

Starting point is 01:15:05 I mean, that's techocracy and uniform, guys. They have no value. They're not military. They didn't go through boot camp. They didn't train. These are tech people. It's insane, guys. It's so very obvious what this is.

Starting point is 01:15:17 Oh, this is the wrong one. Let me just put this near see if it pops up. Basically, he also got a position. Might be this one. Yep. Heg Seth has appointed Mark Andreessen, the guy we just pointed to, to the defense policy board.

Starting point is 01:15:36 So not only has he personally been involved with handpicking the people that go into the administration, in defense, in the agency, he's now literally on board with the Department of Defense. That's technocracy, guys, that's happening right in front of you. People just ignore it. It's depressing, quite frankly, because it's so obvious. Include these for you, share them, talk about it. Okay, so next discuss AI in general. Let's talk about the Clearview AI point. I should have a few more things here.

Starting point is 01:16:07 Right. So we're going to talk about a wired article from the 10th. We've talked about Clearview AI numerous times, and it's only getting worse. Before that, Coin Bureau citing Michael Burry from the Big Short. Now, he's the one that famously saw it coming in 2008 and shorted everything like years before it actually happened. He said way back then that he thought water was going to be the next thing, and I think he's still right, whether it's the next thing or not, that's clearly going to be happening.

Starting point is 01:16:32 Water Wars and all that seem inevitable with the way the world is going. Michael Burry says warnings from Open AI and Anthropic on AI safety are nothing but self-serving IPO hype. I 100% agree with that. I was literally thinking this before I saw this post, the idea that there's no way they would be undermining their own business model, right? It says, Burry argues that calls for slow frontier AI, as we were just discussing, are really about protecting incumbents and competition as competition catches up, if that's the case, while hyping the idea that their technology is so powerful. powerful it could become dangerous, which they're not slowing down or don't believe, or if they do, they don't care. He says the warnings also provide cover for slowing growth as major AI companies

Starting point is 01:17:14 prepare for potential IPOs, arguing that large language models are not AI and won't be AGI. So that's the other side of it. Like we heard the guy say, we're ahead of our skis. What if the slowdown is genuine because they realize that we're not, there's no there and we're not going to actually achieve what they think we will? Either one makes sense. Frankly, I do think that there's some level of this, even if they

Starting point is 01:17:35 been promising what's not possible where this is, you know, they, there is a danger. Let's put it that way. And I don't think they care about it. If they do, they're not stopping. Oh, wait, Catherine had a comment too. She's one that shared this and she said, I'm with Bury on this one. Nothing. They would love more than to get rid of an open source AI so they can have monopoly pricing,

Starting point is 01:17:57 power combined with a tsunami of government money and protection. Well put. Now, here's what Trump had to say about AI. with his weird his true socials are becoming like it's just a cartoon at this point. It's laughable and it seems like everybody's making fun of him and it's not just people in your circles.

Starting point is 01:18:15 I'm telling you guys, it's bad. And it's like it's like it's getting, it's like it's becoming more childish, all capitals and weird names and it's just like, it's just there's no decorum. It is embarrassingly diminishing whatever kind of respect this position ever had. If, you know, for those that still did, he said concerning AI,

Starting point is 01:18:34 when in the history of business, did anyone see the leaders of an industry call for regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy? Of course, because this is the business owner, Trump, the CEO of Trump. No, you're the president of the country, Trump. You're not fighting for business profits, okay?

Starting point is 01:18:50 You're fighting for the people of this country, or you should be. The question's not whether or not the business succeeds. The question is whether the American people want it and whether that's what benefits the American people. You can't miss how different that is. He is the president of the business people, the president of the industry,

Starting point is 01:19:08 the president of technocracy, the president of Silicon Valley. He feels those are his people when their 401ks are exploding, my doing my job. Nobody else has that. I just think that's important here. When in the history of business?

Starting point is 01:19:22 Well, you're not in business right now. You're in the presidency. Now, he wants to pretend like that's being a business man. Well, he's doing a really bad job with that anyway, if you want to be honest about that. But what he's doing is not about return, guys. the money that they make does not go to you unless that return is for you somehow, which is not what's happening.

Starting point is 01:19:41 I just hope people really hear what I'm saying right there because that is very clear. Now he says, AI taking over the world, destroying humanity, and all other things, all other things bad, literally. He's so hyperbolic, he doesn't even realize it. So anything bad, that AI would do anything, you know, anything, would take your jobs away, would, you know, I don't know, Any number of the horrible things we're talking about. Create a control grid.

Starting point is 01:20:05 But I'm trying to think of the smaller ones. Because he says, destroying humanity, bad things, is a hoax. But he says, and all other things bad. So that AI might cause any kind of despair. I'm trying to think of the small ones. What are the arguments we'll make about the small things like the AI stuff? Because my opinion is it's going to be used to censor and use to control us, as and used to create conflicting information that we can't see through, control grid stuff.

Starting point is 01:20:30 But when he says all of the bad things, my point is, my point. is that means nothing bad. He's convincing you there's literally zero bad about AI. That's just stupid. Nobody thinks that. I don't think he thinks that. It's a hoax, he said. No different from Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now we're saying Ukraine is a hoax? This guy has lost his mind. Impeachment hoax one, impeachment hoax two. Ukraine, I think he didn't, I don't think he knows what he's talking about at this point. What are we saying as a hoax? Is he talking about some kind of Biden-connected thing? I mean, but, Even that is, I mean, it's just weird.

Starting point is 01:21:04 But the bottom line is that he's saying that AI potentially having negative side effects is a hoax is just sad, guys. And all other hoaxes and scams that America was forced to endure, and you guessed it, through the Democrats. The destructionist and deviance foul play in illegal conduct. Right. Because the only reason AI bad is because Democrats, I'm pretty sure there's tons of not Democrat.

Starting point is 01:21:31 It's just lazy, guys. Again, it's either that he doesn't even know and doesn't, or it should, I don't, I don't, I'm not even worth trying to think through it anymore. And I want to be clear about something too. Highlighting the Trump stuff right now is not in any way about trying to convince people he's corrupt. I think that ship has sailed. And if you don't see it, you don't want to. This is about just kind of documenting how insane it is and recognizing how wild it is that

Starting point is 01:21:53 this is even where we are. And this will be important as we go forward to know, you know, I mean, especially as we get into kind of the memory hole kind of stuff if we go in the direction they're aiming. And he says, President G of China just announced that China will be doing absolutely nothing to stand in the way of AI or its future. Great. So now you're saying we're going to be just like China. America first.

Starting point is 01:22:18 Make it very great again. See? See, the murderers over there don't mind that we're killing. Isn't that make it okay? What are you talking about, Trump? Why is China not caring about the dangers of AI? make it okay that we don't care about. The guy is like a six-year-old.

Starting point is 01:22:32 I swear, it just doesn't make any sense. When you, when you, it's, I think money allows people like this to pretend that they're better than they are, like Elon Musk. I am not happy about this, he said, and want them to change their thinking. AI and data centers will be the greatest, economic, oh, wait a one, I've skipped a line there. So he's praising China saying, well, not stopping or standing in the way of AI. Then he says, Google has recently stated that they want to build a massive plant in Finland, all because they're finding permitting too difficult in the United States.

Starting point is 01:23:00 So now he's shouting you down. Americans don't want data centers. There's one thing you can find vote in the poll. Nobody wants this, especially since the ear piercing sounds and the water's killing and the sucking your town dry. Sure, but Trump says you'll make money and he's lying to you. The idea that you're saying, we've got to get Google back, you know, Google, the good guy, to bring a data center, you know, what we all want because they can't get permitting.

Starting point is 01:23:26 I just, I feel like he doesn't even realize he was talking to anymore. It says, I am not happy about this and want them to change their thinking. AI data centers will be the greatest economic development engine in history. For them, not for you. Bigger than oil, gold, diamonds. Let me ask you something. Americans, how much money did you make from oil? How much money did you make from gold or diamonds?

Starting point is 01:23:49 You know, the governments. How much money did you make from all that? All you out there listening, all the Republicans that are going, yeah, Trump knows, how much money did you make from oil, golden diamonds over the line? last 20 years. Zero. So why would he say that? Because he's going to make money. His friends, his kids, his family, they're going to make money because they do from those things. Or even the internet. He says, okay, same point. You make money from the running of the internet? The infrastructure? No, you don't. It will not be stopped by brilliantly run destructive forces

Starting point is 01:24:19 during the team term of Trump. It will not be stopped by brilliantly run destructive forces. Yeah, this guy's losing his mind. Okay. So the point is you're bad if you don't want the bad things that we all hate, right? You're not Trump and MAGA if you don't like these terrible things I'm pointing to. It's like, well, good. Then move along. And that's what everybody's doing.

Starting point is 01:24:44 So Wired comes out with this article in the 10th. Clearview AI is testing an AI tool that would let cops unearth your life online. You already know this. If you watch this show, we've talked about this many times. This is, it's just not slowing down and it's merging with a XAI and grah. I'm telling you guys, one Y one, these things are going to mash together. That's what it feels like to me. And I've been saying that for a long time.

Starting point is 01:25:10 In 2020, face recognition from Clearview AI became infamous. And we talked about it then. Derek even wrote an article about at the beginning of Trump's administration about what these things, the spyware dynamics, one of them being Clearview AI, became infamous for scraping more than three billion photos from the. internet to turn faces into names for police and security professionals. Now the company is experimenting with trolling the web again, this time using AI to potentially help law enforcement fill in the person behind the name, who they are, who they know, where they live, and what they've left behind online.

Starting point is 01:25:48 Right. So they're just scraping aimlessly and scooping up all of your personal data. That used to be called a violation of the constitutional rights. But because it's online, it's a loophole, right? It's like saying, we're going to go in this house, we're going to look in everything, and anything we find we might use against you. And if we find a crime against you, we're going to include you in this. That's called unreasonable search and seizure, guys. They just, they're look, they're on a witch hunt.

Starting point is 01:26:10 But this is everything today. All this idea of the disparate information and grabbing it all and using it to form one thing. Well, it's like flock cameras. It doesn't just isolate. It scoops and it uses. Now, they say, we don't hold it. We know they do. They've been caught over and over and over.

Starting point is 01:26:24 We've been catching police use it over and over and over. Everything they say, even the nests, even the numbers. Even the numbers they claim that it improves crime, look from city to city, and they'll all show you. That's not true. In fact, what the major article I went over about a month ago, it shows you that most of the cases where they have them, their cases go down because they're relying on these things. They're not doing their jobs anymore. That's not going to be ubiquitous, but it's clearly a trend. Now, the same thing. This is going to grow and create a monstrous pre-crime dynamic that they're already building out. Clearview,

Starting point is 01:26:57 has quietly built and tested what it is describing as an experimental AI analyst assistant called Inquiry IQ. The unreleased tool is designed to take details in, to take details an investigator unearths from a Clearview search and then automatically fan out across the web, opening web pages, analyzing images and assembling what is finds, what it finds into a profile containing the possible employers, aliases, associates, physical characteristics of a person policing and investigating a person, police are investigating. Inquiry IQ's interface states that supplying age, gender, and race can help the system make smarter decisions. As it searches, according to code for the tool analyzed by Wired, one of the models that the company tested to power these decisions comes from Space X and AI or SpaceX, XAI.

Starting point is 01:27:48 But, you know, this is what's so weird about this. It merged together, right? Space X, X, AI, and then X, and X, and X. So it's all one thing, guys. That's important to remember. The Elon Musk company behind Grock. I want to make sure you understand that. Twitter no longer exists as a company. Merges into Musk's X-Corp.

Starting point is 01:28:09 X-Corp merged with X-A-I. Okay, GROC is a part of that. This is not a platform anymore. This is an AI machine that's using you as a product. Just kind of like it's always been doing, but for sales and whatever else, whatever else they're using it for before, this is alarmingly gross now.

Starting point is 01:28:25 It's like way beyond what it was before. and it's all mashed together. So you're not on Twitter anymore. You're literally helping train AI models for Elon Musk and Israel and everybody else involved because that's happening to and you could prove it. That speed could help police solve crimes faster, but also lowers the cost of fishing expeditions, making it practical to scrutinize people,

Starting point is 01:28:48 police might otherwise never have investigated. And because generative AI can produce different answers from the same starting point, get this, they say it may be difficult to reconstruct why the system said you were a criminal. Isn't that interesting? Why it pursued one lead instead of another? So because you get different answers every time, maybe that's because they're not accurate. Like the AI thing we just discussed, that gets false positives.

Starting point is 01:29:13 The system's being built in the way that they just prioritize what this says. That's why you're getting people arrested that aren't what they look like. You're getting people arrested because it says they had the car they didn't. I mean, the one I keep talking about where that guy got arrested, it was like a 60, year old man and it's different face and there's like a 20 year old kid and they're arresting him going the thing said you're guilty and he's like do i look like i'm 20 he's like freaking out and they arrested it anyway like it took like 30 minutes from the figure it out and that keeps happening because the system is relying on in israel they're using palenteer tech to murder people

Starting point is 01:29:45 with AI and you you the um what was the documentary the whistleblowers came out the IDF and documented through 972 magazine that they were being told to rush Don't look, press the button. Now I'm paraphrasing, but that's what it said. So it's driving this, guys, in an alarming direction. Wired discovered Inquiry IQ in files that Clearview's login page sends to any visitor's browser before they sign in. It was the same technique wired used last month because this hasn't come out yet.

Starting point is 01:30:14 To uncover OS investigate an AI powered search tool being developed by flock safety, which they talked about last, and we read that one too. And to reconstruct a mock-up of its interface from publicly accessible. files. Yeah, you know, flock safety that only read your license plate. It's all so gross and invasive, guys. It's so clear. Founded in 2017, Clearview spent its first years operating largely out of public view. Of course, as we've told you before, Peter Thiel invested $200,000 in it, and that company soon began signing up police or signing up police departments and offering free trials around the country. Peter Thiel, you know, it doesn't always mean something,

Starting point is 01:30:53 but guys, it's the consistency of the people involved around this inner circle and what they're building, it can't be missed. In 2020, New York Times revealed that Clearview had scraped more than 3 billion images from Facebook, YouTube, Venmo, and millions of other websites. Not without authorization, but it is a public website, right? But if they're using it, you know why? Overnight, the report transformed the company into one of the country's most controversial surveillance firms. Tech companies demanded that it stopped harvesting their users' photos, lawsuits, and

Starting point is 01:31:23 regulatory investigations followed, but Clearview just kept scraping. Its database grew from more than three billion images in 2020 to what the company now says is well over 70 billion. And Clearview says its technology is used by more than 2000 law enforcement agencies nationwide. Oh, it's the further one down. They're scraping, they're using your images and using and scanning it for facial recognition. Now, at one point that, I guess that wasn't as possible. And who knows how much it's not, you know, it's always better with the fate, with actual faith, but they're using this to get some reading on your facial recognition. So let's say you've tried your best to avoid those things. They're getting it anyway. I mean, it's encroaching. Guys, can you not feel it? Can you feel

Starting point is 01:32:04 the thing coming around you? That's what this is. All these companies are tied to the same grouping of people, the same companies, and it's all being built. And they're not even hiding it. You can read their books. You can listen to them explaining it on Joe Rogan, guys. It's all right in front of you if you care to look. The Code Wired review describes inquiry, IQ as able to run web and image searches, browse web pages, and use face recognition on photographs, it encounters. That was the one. Now, realize, just this alone might not be alarming to somebody.

Starting point is 01:32:32 It should be. But this, along with everything we've been discussing my old career, but just over the last couple of years, it's beyond alarming. And they're not even disparate. You could see the connections, the people, the way they fit together, like signal gate and flock. It's like they're designed that way. Leonardo, I believe it is.

Starting point is 01:32:54 As the system searches from information supplied by the investigator, it is designed to build what Clearview calls a candidate graph of possible identities and associates, possible, while filling out the subjects profile with possible addresses, phone numbers, employers, social media accounts, arrest histories, and aliases. Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a George Washington University law professor who studies AI and policing, described this kind of automated investigation as digital rummings. They're basically going to create a profile of you based on all the random digital clues that you left on the internet. The privacy protections we have in place right now were mainly built in a world that assumed a certain amount of friction in the ability of governments to collect information about people. It's interesting. The point is that, you know, and who knows if this was why it was, there weren't things flushed out about it. But before the internet, people couldn't just take 20 minutes. You'd have to travel there and to speak to, people, you know, call them maybe, but actually go and investigate, you know, and actually this is different now. Suddenly these barriers are being removed. And so the argument is, again,

Starting point is 01:33:59 like everything else we're dealing with, our laws, regulations, our constra are way behind where this is. And they're taking advantage. It says, Clearview warns that automatically generated demographic social media and arrest data may or may not be accurate. That is their quote. This is being used right now by ICE to arrest people. Right now and they say it may or may not be accurate. It's left up to the discernment of the guy who got three months training that shot somebody yesterday. Cool. Over time, investigators can defer to automated systems until the person checking the machine becomes a sort of rubber stamp. That's the point. Whether that's what they want, that's what happens. People become reliant

Starting point is 01:34:40 on the tool, and that is what will become of it. You won't question the system anymore. You go through the motions. At least some of them, in the prototype wired reviewed, what inquiry IQ returned could vary depending on which model was selected. Its interface includes a control for choosing the model that runs the research and lists, of course, XAI, which is a bizarre overlap with authentic, which is an Israeli intelligence company, and Amazon Bedrock, its own purpose, it's all many, many things, a platform for accessing models built by other companies. In 2025, what XAI said was an unauthorized change to GROC system prompt, which was not an

Starting point is 01:35:19 authorized change. This is so embarrassing they would even write this. So in 2025, what X-A-I claim, what Elon Musk claimed was an unauthorized change to GROC's system prompt caused the chatbot to inject claims about a supposed white genocide in South Africa to unrelated conversations. My God. Like you guys, you could do better than this wire. Like, that's insane. Like, Grock admitted what happened until they deleted it and you can still find the archives. This was when I was telling, so you go up and say, what's the weather today, Grock and would say, there's a white genocide in South Africa. And eventually people were like, whoa, that's crazy.

Starting point is 01:35:53 And people called it out. Ask Grock directly and it admitted that it was basically told to respond. And this is Elon Musk, obviously manipulating it to respond towards an agenda that he wants you to think a certain way. That's like a third time that's happened. So it's just kind of crazy to me that they would act like, oh, it was an un-oopsie, an authorized change that caused a mistake. I mean, at very least they say unauthorized change that caused to do that.

Starting point is 01:36:17 So it's like, I guess their way they're kind of saying that, but it's, come on, we know that it was done deliberately because Grock admitted it because it happened that way. Anyway, so again, the point why I'm saying it so is because that argument is being used to kind of say, see, this is what AI can do, which I agree, but that's not the best example, because this wasn't an AI mistake. This was them manipulating it, which is kind of the same point. You know, they're pulling the strings behind it. That will happen too.

Starting point is 01:36:41 Less than a month later, after another change to its instructions, Grock produced anti-Semitic posts and praise for Adolfi, Fidler, space X-I, space X-A-I did not respond to request for comment. A hallucination prone chatbot would not be trusted with an information under, with an informant under any other regular, regular circumstances. Again, whether it was a hallucination or Elon did it, right? We know. So these companies clearly merging together.

Starting point is 01:37:11 We talked about this back in July 2, 2026. Clearview AI FedRamp bid could ease federal procurement to federal recognition. all being jammed in of multiple different ways with agencies like ICE and Border Patrol, which is what happened. How ICE already knows who Minneapolis protesters are, because they're using Clearview AI. And a newer one, Mobile Fortify, which is just as riddled with the same problems. Now, NPR on the 28th of 2023, exposing the secretive company at the forefront of facial recognition technology, Clearview AI. right? I mean, it's just, this has been, and this is just one.

Starting point is 01:37:55 Let me go through numerous examples of these companies, and it just continues. My point is, this has been building and building and building, and nobody wants this, guys. Nobody wants this. So I want to play a quick clip, and then I'm going to talk about the Yemen, Iran, the Antweral movement, and kind of some finishing points on where not, it won't take too much to finish up on, but I just wanted you to see this to know where it's at, but I do want to play something really quickly. this one

Starting point is 01:38:20 here let me grab this because I think this is important to I'm going to play a longer version of this to finish I want to play this really quickly I think that's the one oh shoot hold on now this we've talked about this oh no

Starting point is 01:38:38 I hope that didn't just make a mistake okay good sorry I'm talking to myself last time I hit the extra button on the streamyard it caused everything to freak out so hold on there it is okay oops I'm sorry

Starting point is 01:38:59 So this is frustrating. So technically I have to get up and do something really quickly, and I'm just bungling this. So I'll just play this one since I didn't play it to begin with. I'll be right back. Fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. What to do about mass unemployment? This is going to be a massive social challenge.

Starting point is 01:39:22 And I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don't think we're going to have a choice. Universal basic income. Universal basic income. I think it's going to be necessary. So it means that unemployed people will be paid across the globe. Yeah. Because there is no job.

Starting point is 01:39:41 Machine, robot is taking over. That's simply the... And I want to be clear that these... These are not things that I think that I wish would happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen. And since... If my assessment is correct and they probably will happen, then we need to say, what are we going to do about it?

Starting point is 01:40:05 And I think some kind of a universal basic income is going to be necessary. Now the output of goods and services will be extremely high. So with automation, they will come abundance. There will be, almost everything will get very cheap. The, so it's, I think the biggest, I think we'll just end up doing a universal basic income it's going to be necessary. The harder challenge, much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning?

Starting point is 01:40:46 Like a lot of people, they derive their meaning from their employment. So if you don't have, if you're not needed, if there's not a need for your labor, how do you what's the meaning do you do you have meaning do you feel useless these are much that's a much harder problem to deal with technically I was going to play that to begin

Starting point is 01:41:13 and I forgot but the I'll play that geo fencing one on the way out but just interesting to hear him talk about that right with the direction of it with where it's going you know what's your worth without your route labor it's it's a weird way to frame everything but to kind of wrap here guys I wanted to get into some of the stuff going on

Starting point is 01:41:30 with the Yemen and Iran, you might have seen as of September, I think it was 10th, I believe, over into over the 11th when it really kicked off in Saudi Arabia, the Ansarala movement, otherwise called the Houthis take Yemen's Red Sea coast and Key Babel Mandib Islands. Now, this is important. We've talked about this for so long. And the people that have followed this platform know that. How long have we talked about the point of the other side of the landmass? I'm talking about 10 years, five, eight years ago, talking about the importance when we, I'm forgetting his name all of a sudden, the gentleman I interviewed numerous times from Yemen, who I believe is now actually part of,

Starting point is 01:42:11 connected with the Ansaral movement itself. I believe, forget his name off the top of my head. I have to go back and find the interviews. But the point was that this was, we were discussing this importance. Why? And I'm all the way back then, because if and when, and this is how much they knew about this too and how long it's been discussed and everybody knows this. if and when they should go after Iran

Starting point is 01:42:31 that Iran could shut down the straight. And that's been something they've known for so long. And that's why a lot of this was being done to basically prepare for that, which shows you they've always been aiming for this. And so at the end of the day, the blockade, the starvation, the decade-long starvation campaign

Starting point is 01:42:48 where they're eating leaf paste in Yemen is all because they want to control this landmass in this area. And they've never effectively actually been able to beat back the Yemenis. They've been able to hold that blockade and straight area, but they can still be harried, but now they've taken back the actual port area. Now, that doesn't technically mean they are controlling the straight. It has slowed down dramatically, about half last I checked,

Starting point is 01:43:12 but it can. That's the important part. They can because now they do, this is the same group that's been launching on the Saudi Arabia. We'll get into it in a second. The same group has been stopping ships going to Israel. Like, they've got means. And so this is important.

Starting point is 01:43:25 This is an important move. Now, it's actually in a way hurting, the larger view, I think, but this is strategically important. Now, in September 10th, the Houthi sees the strategic port city of Moka on Yemen's southern Red Sea coast. The next day, the Iranback group pushed south, culminating with the capture of the remaining Red Sea coast and Pyram Island on the middle of the Babamandab Strait, the strategic choke point at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The Houthis also seized the Hanish Islands in archipelago on the southern Red Sea, roughly 100 miles north of Babamandab,

Starting point is 01:43:57 control of the coast and islands would give the Houthis a direct hold on the Red Sea choke point through which significant international shipping flows. Now again, the Ansaral movement through actual name. The Houthi rebels are what they're called from outside. But it says to Houthis called us and this is what's so embarrassing. So get this. They've been unable to stop this group, stopping the Israel ships. I mean, any number of things they've talked about. And they clearly are not, they have not been cowed by the statements of the U.S. government or Trump.

Starting point is 01:44:25 And right now, they're not stopping. what's so embarrassing. And this is on the 10th, right? On the 11th, they bond Saudi Arabia, right? So what's, Trump literally says, the Houthis called us, and they don't want to fight us. They would much prefer us not being involved. And they're letting, that's not true, seeing as how they've already been engaged and they haven't even slowed down. And it says, they're letting most of the ships go through, which they, according to them, they weren't even stopping as far as I could tell. It slowed because people were worried. But it says, there's just one country that's not too happy with, and we'll get that straightened out.

Starting point is 01:44:54 Saudi Arabia. You know, it's beyond embarrassing at this point. As times of Israel, Iran likely behind attack on Saudi pipeline. We'll talk about that briefly. That's going to be Iraq or it came from anyway, which I will give my thoughts on. Houthis told us they don't want to fight. This guy is just drowning in his own incompetence at this point. Like, I mean, I was upset from the very beginning, I think it's because there are,

Starting point is 01:45:19 what else are you going to do? What else could he possibly do right now other than just lie his way through this? I mean, I'm almost wondering whether he wants this to just never end so we can just dip into the background and let the next president deal with any of these things. You can always pretend like it wasn't his fault and Biden did it and whatever. It's kind of crazy. I think that was, oh, yeah, I did something here. It says, yeah, the Houthis called us and they didn't want to fight with us. They don't want to, they don't want us to go after them, despite the fact that you've already been bombing them.

Starting point is 01:45:45 That doesn't make any sense. And that you've been literally involved with an illegal blockade. They know that on Yemen with Saudi Arabia. the guy Hadi who lives in Riyadh, last I checked, is the president that U.S. government wants in Yemen. He is not the president. The people of Yemen do not want him there. The Houthi movement, the popular resistance,

Starting point is 01:46:02 like Hezbollah, like all the rest of these groups that have rose up against the illegal powers trying to take their territory that they call terrorists. It's just so humorous. And it wasn't so alarming and real. It's like what they're doing is just so embarrassing. Like, you could make up a better lie. he added everything's going to work out fine and dandy.

Starting point is 01:46:22 Wow. They would much prefer us not being involved, and they're letting most of the ships go through. They just want one country. I just read that, yeah. So anyway, continuing. Oh, and this is the picture. So you can just kind of, well, that's not the best picture.

Starting point is 01:46:33 But you guys know, the, you know, here, I'll just bring up the, so here's the best, here's a good picture of it. Right. So we've talked about this forever, right? So right here, straight to Pramus, right? Here's Yemen. Here's Amon with the other side of the landmass here. and the entire point is they've been trying to control this,

Starting point is 01:46:59 so if in the event they could have another route circumvent the strait. That's simple. Now, as Seth writes, keep in mind, Yemen is the poorest country in the world, dead last on the list of per capita GDP. People in Haiti, guys, Haiti are 10 times richer, on average than Yemenis. Yet in direct military confrontations, the Houthis, the Ansarola movement, have been defying the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel for 20 plus.

Starting point is 01:47:26 years. That's the truth. And so it's really crazy the way he's trying to frame this right now. It's incredible. Determination. Now that doesn't mean everyone's good, guys. Everyone has all the best morals and principles. But at the end of the day, by and large, the group is fighting for the independence of their people, or at the very least to get rid of the foreign power and clearly have been standing up against terrible things by themselves. I mean, who else stood up during them. Still, they're the only group that I know of, the only government, the only power with ships and ability that actually stood up and did something to stop what's going on with the genocide, to stop their ships. Now, Eric, Brett's Erickson says, CNN confirms the Saudi

Starting point is 01:48:08 East-West pipeline has been hit at the pumping stations. Sorry, I'm going to have to wrap this up pretty soon here, guys, but the point is that it was attacked. Hold on. I'm going to have to be right back. technology, choosing instead the peace and beauty of Montana. He's an expert in facial recognition. It's a technique that is used to uniquely identify the biometrics of any face. So in a device like your smartphone and most modern smartphones in the last five or seven years, they have a 3D camera module in the front of the phone which you cannot see.

Starting point is 01:48:51 Within that module is a near-infrared projector which projects tens of thousands of dots on your face. Those dots are then distorted based on the contours and the features of your face, and there's a near-infrared camera then takes a picture of that distortion, captures it, and then reverse engineers the exact profile of your face. In the longer term, facial recognition will be used. to unlock your digital identity, which is going to be a tool of control for the agendas that are coming down the pipeline.

Starting point is 01:49:30 Elements of that control are already with us. Alexa, good morning, good morning. You are never alone in your home, and this is why. All your devices at home and all smart appliances, they are all connected on a wireless network, which is going to be Let's wrap this up. Sorry about that, guys.

Starting point is 01:49:56 So just in general, because really there's not much more to get to in general. I just want to give you guys these breakdowns. So the point is that they attack the pipeline. It's a big deal. As he writes, his checkmate for Trump and Co. With the, with the straight, with all the rest of the actions, this is a big deal. Now, who knows? Like I said before, major action could be taken.

Starting point is 01:50:15 Any number of other groups can involved. But it's paired with On Sorolla taking control the Babylon and the street. I agree. So here is the New York Times. Saudi Arabia's oil lifeline was attacked. here's what we know. And you can see the picture. It's pretty, pretty bleak. On the 12th, Saudi Arabia, one of the world's largest oil producers on Friday said it had shut down a vital oil pipeline as a precautionary measure following a drone attack from the Iraqi territory. So it's interesting. So the

Starting point is 01:50:39 argument, Trump says Iran certainly could be, or at least somebody working in interest of what Iran is doing, not necessarily some proxy, which is what they call anybody supporting what Iran does. but of course we know the PMU, which is a Iraqi paramilitary movement, which is technically connected to the government and the military, is not Iran. And they worked alongside each other with Soleimani and the idea of actually fighting ISIS and pushing back the U.S. The point is they are not Iran.

Starting point is 01:51:08 They're not a proxy. They're an Iraqi group. And in fact, they've been getting weapons through the Iraqi government that come directly from the United States. So it's just ridiculous. And they get bombed by the United States all the time when Trump was to pretend like he's bombing Iran. that's back before this all kicked off. So whether or not that was Iran, it's hard to say.

Starting point is 01:51:24 It's also possible that Iraq is siding with Iran, regardless of what the U.S. is doing and doesn't want the U.S. to know that. Now, that's just my, beat my opinion. There's nothing, I've nothing in front of me to go on that. Because it's an occupied territory, guys. It has been for a long time. The government there is under the control of the United States, just like with Lebanon, just like with any other countries you talk about.

Starting point is 01:51:45 So whether they would do that is more on the side of, I'd argue, Probably not, but it's possible because these governments and the peoples in the country, they're all from, they can be driven towards support of their country at the expense of the outside force is not the other way around. So it's possible that somebody convinced them to work alongside Iran. But at the end of the day, I think of what's most likely is it's either the PMU on its own doing this or some other force through that or even more possible that we're talking about something being done only as a small percentage possibility as a false flag.

Starting point is 01:52:15 I'll show you why. Israel operates out of Iraq very consistently. I prove there's major stories that came out showing the U.S. gave them U.S. passports to be able to enter into Iraq. So they wouldn't be shown as Israeli. But I'll come back to that. I don't think that's the most likely. Because all this seems very high, you know, like I said,

Starting point is 01:52:31 this being done in an immediate sense seems like a very clear victory for the war against the United States and Israel. Now, hold that thought. I'll come back to that point about the plus flag just as a fringe possibility. The infrastructure known as the East-West pipeline is, key to Saudi Arabia's ability to circumvent the Strait of Ramos. So that's important. So that's why it seems the most likely is this was just a direct attack because clearly it is what they need to be able to continue fighting the war. Now, it says the targeting of the East-West pipeline showed that even

Starting point is 01:53:00 alternatives to the strait can be disrupted if Iran and his proxies expand their attacks. Again, proxies are everything that anybody that fights against them, exposing another vulnerability and efforts to restore the flow of oil and to world markets and bring energy down energy prices. Now, the point about proxies, though. Clearly, anybody can have proxies or on anybody else. That means that groups they literally control but are not seen as them, you know, it's a group in the other country that they dictate. The U.S. has all over the world, guys, they do this. That's frankly what I think this kind of comes from. But it doesn't mean others can't do that. In fact, I think everybody probably does. The point, though, is that there's no real evidence these groups are anything other than groups that

Starting point is 01:53:39 are allied with them. And so it's just kind of insulting they keep throwing these terms out when the U.S. has proxies every country they're talking about. The Kurds and other groups that we literally use. That doesn't mean they're constantly. At the end of the day, it's still a group that can do it at once. But it is operating under their direction and given weapons from them. And that's a proxy. Now, who attacked it.

Starting point is 01:54:01 President Trump said Iran was probably behind the assault. Means he doesn't know, assuming Ron has not commented on the claim. Saudi officials have said the drone came from Iraq, which has been a hotbed for well-armed militias under Tehran's sway. Again, way to say that. allies, I guess, you know, militia, you know, groups that they armed by the U.S. government,

Starting point is 01:54:21 they work for the government, they're occupying. But it says that Iraqi government has struggled to bring under control. On Saturday, the office of Iraq's prime minister said he agreed to conduct a joint investigation with Iran into drone launches along the Iraq border. With Iran?

Starting point is 01:54:36 Interesting. So to me, I'm like, maybe they're working with them more. It would make sense to me in the long scheme. Nobody's happy with Israel, the United States right now. Now, the point, I think it was in one of these next ones coming up about why this is actually detrimental to the kind of perception right now. And we'll get, that's the last part about the deal. Will says, based on the trajectory of the recent events, the days of the reign of the House of Saud are likely numbered. Meaning this attack might be for one of a few reasons.

Starting point is 01:55:09 Whether it's, as I said, this is functionally destroyed, this major installation, which, where's the U.S.? they're supposed to be protecting them. That's the whole point. So this either means that the U.S. is going to just cast them aside. That's very possible for, you know, desperation means another intradic gain from it somehow. There's a whole thing to go into there.

Starting point is 01:55:28 But the point is, or the other point would be, or it's, they're just going to collapse because they've been, you know, ultimately all of this is going to implode. The Western control over, you know, like where, what,

Starting point is 01:55:40 and part of me thinks that might be the long-term game here. But I digress on that. So this back to the point. of the deal and where it goes, temporary Hormuz solution deferred as Iran Arab summit falls through before we finish on Iran. Now, this is the conversation of Iran and Oman making a deal to create the opening for the strait without the involvement of the U.S. government. Now, it says on the 14th today, another attempt to clench a deal between Iran and Oman to restore

Starting point is 01:56:05 some traffic to the Strait of Hormuz has been set back by a lack of regional consensus of the future of the waterway. Now it says officials from Iran, Iraq, and the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, minus Bahrain, it was objecting, were scheduled to meet in Oman's Port City on Monday and of Sala and to confer on new temporary routes in the Strait of Pramuse amid the ongoing back and forth. On Sunday night, the region's officials announced the postponement without giving a new date. none of the stakeholders gave any indication that the post post the postponement was directly linked to the Ansarral movement attack on Saudi Arabia. However, Iran's foreign ministry said that Saudi Arabia objected, their objection was the reason for the postponement. So when I meet my point, the long point, it's clear that this act was probably potentially even a nail in the coffin for this ongoing war

Starting point is 01:57:00 for the win of Iran. But at the same time for this deal to be met, it seemed like Saudi Arabia, was pulling away from the U.S. government for obvious reasons. This one almost makes it like they just got bombed. So it's like maybe that'll even, so it's hard to say. Maybe they'll drive them back into this deal. My gut tells me that this right now in the moment is that this is Saudi Arabia objecting because they were attacked by a group that is aligned with Iran. So if that spins this deal out, that might be turned against Iran and public opinion could shift that they're the ones keeping the straight closed. Where if this deal would have closed, it would have been no question that Trump, the U.S. government, and Israel are the ones keeping this going.

Starting point is 01:57:40 So, you know, it's hard to see. And that's my point would be that it might have been potentially where Israel clearly operates a false flag operation to create the spin out of this deal. Now, who's to say what was more influential? Because these deals, like the memorandum, Israel made every effort to stop it. I don't know how serious this was outside of, like, I mean, it seemed big deal. It seemed serious, multiple countries. It's just hard to tell if it was ever really about to happen or not. So you see my kind of range of perspective there, right? So it's possible that could have been done to spend it out. It's possible the attacks on this area were done just as an attack because the Ansarala movement wants to side with the Ron

Starting point is 01:58:17 and wants to support the ongoing, you know, attacks. They're all being attacked by Israel, the United States and did so to put up, you know, stop this. I guess over the next week we'll probably be able to see more. And I'd argue we're going to be able to tell which way this really went. Either way, got to go back to square one, guys, and realize that none of this will be happening without the U.S. government's illegal war on Iran, which they're now gaining nothing from. And yet again, today, guys, after everything we've seen, this is what Trump just said. Find out.

Starting point is 01:58:47 I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. I think the war will end immediately after the election. Now, just in that first point, how, like, what a lazy thing to say. because my gut has no idea, has no indication whatsoever that something's going to end up. He's doing that to get you to think that he has a secret plan, maybe to get a few more people supporting him. He's done this before. You get me in, the wars will end.

Starting point is 01:59:18 Did they end? All the wars he said he yet? Nope. You get me in. We'll shrink the government. Nope, it's bigger. We'll lower spending. Nope, you're spending more.

Starting point is 01:59:27 We'll stop vaccines. Nope, you got more vaccines. Well, you know, go down the list, guys. So how about the $5,000 that we all know what happened? So when he says vote the after election, it will end for sure, only if you vote for us, which is what he's doing. He's just trying to marshal support because he's desperate. Because they can't hold out any longer.

Starting point is 01:59:48 They're desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice, weak group of people in there. Oh, right. So we want you to think that the other side, who actively and equally supports war against Iran, would somehow be weak against war and run. Because if you don't vote for me, then you'll, you won't get the war you don't want.

Starting point is 02:00:09 What? Like, wait a minute now. You sold us on not having this war. And now your argument for why we should vote for you is that if we don't, they'll stop the war? Priceless. And leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon.

Starting point is 02:00:25 All they want is a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, the whole world is in deep trust. Are you still hoping for it? Do you, does he believe it? I don't know how he could, but it's, you know, it's hard to, I mean, this is, like I keep saying, like, you could there, you could make up something better. Alter your lie. He has completely set down in this.

Starting point is 02:00:45 He has put his heels in. Guys, he is dying on this hill and he's going to lose. I mean, I don't know who's advising him or what, what he's hold over his head. That's just, it's just in crazy. I'll show you the many examples. Like, this is a point. I've been saying forever. They love to make this point.

Starting point is 02:01:03 Iran refuses to give, nope. They'll literally stay. Now, he's not cleaning their lying. He's not saying they promise, but they're lying. He's saying they tell me they won't. They'll, they every single time they're asked, they go, we don't have one. We never want one. We promise not to.

Starting point is 02:01:17 We're not even looking for one. So he just, he just lies. It's like everything else he does, guys. That shouldn't be that surprising. Clear deal. Secretary Wright said a nuclear deal might not be on the table anymore. No, I'm doing much more than a nuclear deal. There's a lot more than nuclear.

Starting point is 02:01:31 We're going to have nuclear. What does that even mean? So now he's getting caught with conflicting information where they're going, yeah, the nuclear is not even on the table because it's not going to happen. But he says this every day because it's the only thing he can say. We stop the nuclear bomb and we're going to win. And now, oh, it's much more than nuclear.

Starting point is 02:01:46 It's all the other things of deals and paper and stuff. That's 99.9. But there's going to be a lot of other things on the table. Yeah, yeah, like all the other stuff that we all know about that we've all talked about. So your point is we won't get a nuke. then, oh, well, the nukes, but it's other than stuff, the nukes. That's in one engagement.

Starting point is 02:02:05 In one conversation, he's like, no, the nukes. But they just said there's no nuke plan. Well, there's the 99% other than that. I don't know how anybody ever supported this person or the, I mean, like, I will admit, this is not the same person that we saw before. The person we saw talking in 2016 is not this person. And I don't mean different people. I mean, he's either truly declined or, which is partly, I mean, he's older.

Starting point is 02:02:30 or somebody's driving this action. Or he's, I guess, third part of some kind of orchestrated plan where he plays the, what do they call it? He plays the fool. What do they call it in wrestling? I'm forgetting the word now. But, you know, that's what it feels like, but I'll let it go. It wouldn't have been on the table three months ago.

Starting point is 02:02:49 Such as. There's nothing. Iran's not talking to you. There is no deal. There's no more than last time. We're not looking for it, to be honest with you, Jeff. But there's going to be a lot of up and on the table. Do you expect that to be started something like a new deal with Ron?

Starting point is 02:03:09 I can hear it. On the table that wouldn't have been on the table three months ago. What about negotiations with Iran? What about negotiations with Iran? There's what we said. We're not looking for it, to be honest. It's over. We won.

Starting point is 02:03:26 And they don't have a weapon, but they do. We're going to have more in the deal. 99% more in the deal is other than nukes. What about the negotiations, you know, for that deal? Ah, we don't want that. Huh? So you don't want negotiations for the deal that you just, just got done promoting? I'm telling you guys, that is not about being gaslit or blackmailed.

Starting point is 02:03:52 That guy's just losing his mind or he's bad at this or he doesn't know how to, like, I think he, look, I truly outside of joking, I think he's so used to lying about what. the F ever he wants to lie about that he just he's and now he's feeling on his back foot. I think he knows people see him lying in his year. But he just he doesn't know what that he lies. He just lies. Like I'm tempted just to play this again. But it's the idea. You know what?

Starting point is 02:04:15 Let's do it again. And immediately after the election and let them have their nuclear weapon. All they want is a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, the whole world is in deep trouble. Are you still hoping for a nuclear deal? Secretary writes that a nuclear deal might not be on the table. Yeah, we said it's probably not going to happen. No, I'm doing much more than a nuclear deal.

Starting point is 02:04:36 There's a lot more than nuclear. We're going to have nuclear. That's 99.9. It's not a new deal, but we have more than that. But we just promised we're going to be a lot of other things on the table that wouldn't have been on the table three months ago. The negotiation. We're not looking for, to be honest with you.

Starting point is 02:04:57 We don't need the deal. Originally, I wanted to make a deal. we're so far down the line. They have very little country left. Got it, got it, got it. Now walk me back on how you're going to get 99% of the deal that you just mentioned if you're not going to negotiate for a deal and there's no country left.

Starting point is 02:05:13 Guys, I've just, I've blown away by how insanely done that is. Nobody who actually cares about truth or has their own discernment is going to look at that and go, yeah, that guy knows what he's doing. Except Eric Doughtery, of course. Just in. is so great. He's doing the greatest things greatly every great. He says President Trump announces Iran has called him begging for a deal. And he says, Scott, he says, squeeze is working. They're failing nation. It's just so crazy. However, Trump knows nothing to trust them. Oh, he just knows. Let him cook.

Starting point is 02:05:47 Eric knows he's so insightful. He knows that Trump feels and thinks every day. Ambisham says, you must be joking. Trump said we've won the war 50 times. Trump also said Iran wants to make a deal 60 times. On that note, it's a lot worse than that, by the way. Oh, this is what, again, you already heard this. The nation of Iran wants to make a deal quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the USA will choose to engage the concept of which we are open to. Okay, badly and quickly. Okay, you know, Brent is up to 109.

Starting point is 02:06:19 You know, everything he lists off puts them in the back position. So Iran is winning in every single way. Trump has said he won't, you know, what he just said, Glenn says this is the same thing. that has happened pretty much every week since Trump and Netanyahu started this illegal war in February. The only thing more frequent than Trump claiming Iran is begging to negotiate is Trump announcing the U.S. already won the war. Think about how dumb that is when you say that out loud. Here is an article from August 4th. Fourth.

Starting point is 02:06:49 One last chance. The times Trump threatened Iran, right? One more chance, 47 times in a row. So it says just over one month into the war in Iran. So that's one month or in March, or rather end of March. If Iran didn't immediately reopen the straight, which is still closed, by the way. Trump warned on April 7th, the whole civilization will die tonight. Never be brought back again.

Starting point is 02:07:15 But if they all die, how would, yeah, okay, we'll leave the old stupidity for later. But the point, it's, I mean, like remember, here's the thing. Remember, at the beginning, it wasn't technically closed. They were just restricting Israel in the United States and people working with them. So to them it was closed, but they wanted the world to think it was. Now, in multiple ways and currently right now more than ever, it is being closed because of Iran and what the U.S. is doing, like Iran being controlling of the area, which is opposite what Trump claims, and they still do.

Starting point is 02:07:44 Everyone knows that. It wouldn't be closed if they weren't in control, and Trump just acts like it's not happening. But it's only because the U.S. government has been literally poking them in the eye and every chance they get to cause a reaction. But it says, Tehran didn't blink, April. and with two hours of the deadline, Trump walked back the threat. And what do you say, somebody convinced me that we wanted to wait, whatever. And instead announced two weeks, ceasefire, brokered by Islamabad.

Starting point is 02:08:09 Since then, and we can go through everything, the ways they lied about that and Israel bomb Lebanon anyway. But it says since then, the U.S. president has repeated this pattern multiple times. It goes like this. Trump ups the ante, shakes up the markets, shakes his fists in the air, and then dials it back down at the 11th hour, apparently hoping the strategy will influence negotiations. Pathetic. It means you don't have a position. On Monday, Trump again, and this is again, August, insisted that negotiations were close

Starting point is 02:08:38 to ending the war. And yet again, gave duplicitous Iran one last chance to make a deal or suffer catastrophic strikes. For his part, Tehran denies any ongoing talks with the U.S. government back in August, just like today, saying it only is talking to Oman about how to manage the strait of her moves. Now, what did I, I've been saying you, since April. How long have I been saying that? That is when this really shifted, guys.

Starting point is 02:09:03 It's been different ever since. At the beginning, they were actually engaging in, and they murdered people more than once. Talking about the U.S. and Israel, the war is now in its 23rd week back in August. So how many times has Trump given Ron one last chance to make a deal or suffer the consequences before walking back his threat? And how many times have we heard from the U.S. president that a deal is just around the corner? Well, what's funny about this is in, was it June? Everybody cited it 37 times, June 9, 38 times.

Starting point is 02:09:34 And that's what everybody says since. I started to look into today. I'm like, why does everybody keep siding over 40 times? Guys, that was in April or rather in June. But the point was it's, we're way past that. Times Trump has threatened heavy tax before. It says there have been several times since February 28th when Trump has walked about, you know, more than several now. But it lists all these different examples.

Starting point is 02:09:54 And this was just since August, or August back. So here is one of the ones I was referencing. June 9th, how many times? In June, it was 37 times. One says 38. So you can decide for yourself. As in June, guys. So it could only be worse now.

Starting point is 02:10:12 I mean, we're talking probably 60. I mean, it's been almost every week pretty consistently. So as Ryan Grimm says, if you think Trump is unpopular now, wait until the most recent ramifications of his ongoing war, filter through our, economy and all of this is for what? The point is here, world oil inventories. Anyone thinking what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production this next week?

Starting point is 02:10:34 That's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis. 1979 Iran war oil crisis, each followed by a major recession. Collapsing. Trump is doing this. Thomas Massey, I'm driving to D.C. right now and this is the price of fuel in the Midwest. Every lever Congress and the president can pull to. affect the price of fuel has been pulled in the wrong direction. Probably by design, guys. Probably more extraction of wealth, more driving to the new system. This is political malpractice seven weeks before an election. Here, and wake up. Another post. Look at these prices, guys. Diesel

Starting point is 02:11:11 864, 865. Regular gas, $6.29. He says, nothing says gold maids like 850 gallon diesel. Here's Maine. U.S. average diesel price. $6. 23 cents. Biden last day, 363. Average gas price today, 432. That's way more than that in some places. Biden last day, 310.

Starting point is 02:11:37 So you can't, you know, in the middle of COVID, yeah. But see, you point to the end where they took off, Trump's, same thing, and it's not just Trump and not even just Biden. Biden pointed back at Trump. Trump pointed back at Obama, that's what they do. It's the easiest way they play the game. Trump says the price increases, like I,

Starting point is 02:11:54 I read this one earlier. We're all because of Biden. Just to read that point again. He thinks everyone's an idiot. But Saudi Agarist had the best meme of the day. It shows Netanyahu in a class. And sitting around him is George Bush, Biden, Trump, and Obama. And Netanyahu says, okay, class, who's dumb enough to bomb Iran for me?

Starting point is 02:12:17 And Trump's in the back going, me. Perfect. Because it really does align with kind of the way I'm feeling this is going right now. where he was now not to say that they were the rest of them were like not bad guys they're all part of the same but recognize the that this is israel completely benefiting at the expense of both americans and the american government that's the difference and they didn't take the bait or however you want to read that but they were still war criminals they were still monsters and they still let israel do whatever it wanted that's got to remember that trump just went a little further

Starting point is 02:12:50 and now i'll end with this clip the entire clip sorry for the little blips throughout the day guys I had a little something I had to do, but, you know, my pop's got to come first. You know how it goes. But we'll end here with the clip. I'll play the whole thing. This is Oracle Films, the account it came from. Geofencing is the clip. I'll let you watch this.

Starting point is 02:13:08 I'm telling you, I mean, this is not just where it's going. This is where we already are. That's the scary thing to think about. What you're going to see right now, this is where we already are. It's just not fully implemented. It's just not yet put in your face. All the pieces in this clip are all in place already. They're just not like in your face.

Starting point is 02:13:24 They're not put into connection as one. It's all scattered around. The question is, what is it going to take for that to kick into gear? Is there going to be some kind of a narrative? You know, this thing happened. And that's why we need to do this now. That's usually how they do this. I hope not.

Starting point is 02:13:40 We'll leave it there for the clip today. Thank you all for tuning in. Appreciate your support. I love you all. As always, question everything. Come to your own conclusions. Stay vigilant. One man who knows the danger.

Starting point is 02:13:54 only too well is Amman Jabby, who was at the forefront of digital development in Silicon Valley, California, for 25 years. He left when he recognized the dark side of surveillance technology, choosing instead the peace and beauty of Montana. He's an expert in facial recognition. It's a technique that is used to uniquely identify the biometrics of any face. So in a device like your smartphone and most modern smartphones in the last five or seven years, they have a 3D camera module in the front of the phone which you cannot see.

Starting point is 02:14:35 Within that module is a near infrared projector, which projects tens of thousands of dots on your face. Those dots are then distorted based on the contours and the features of your face. And there's a near infrared camera then takes a picture that distortion captures it and then reverse engineers the exact profile of your face. In the longer term, facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity, which is going to be a tool of control for the agendas that are coming down the pipeline.

Starting point is 02:15:14 Elements of that control are already with us. Alexa, good morning. Good morning. You are never alone in your home, and this is why. All your devices at home and all smart appliances, they are all connected on a wireless network. Many of these devices will have cameras, many will have microphones, and so they are monitoring everything all the time.

Starting point is 02:15:38 Your smart appliances are communicating with the smart meter and sending it real-time usage data. If there's a ring camera also in your home, a mesh network is formed, and all your devices are being tracked within the home, its location, its usage, and all the data is going to Amazon servers. When you leave your home, all modern vehicles are connected to the internet, so your automobile is being tracked all the time.

Starting point is 02:16:08 When you're going under a string of smart LED poles and smart LED lights on the highway and in the streets of your towns and cities, those form a wireless network and are tracking your vehicle. They are tracking all the... devices on you from smartphones to smart watches when you're walking on the streets so data is being collected 24-7 continuously on every human being whenever you are within these wireless networks and it's obviously not good for health also because of all the electromagnetic radiation in the long term the plan is to pretty
