Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews – 12/10/24 – Insurance Shooter Caught; and Planning a Trillion Dollar Crypto Heist

Episode Date: December 11, 2024

Howdy. They caught the UHC shooter and yeah it’s kinda what we all thought, but also weirder (in his normalness). Plus, Trump 2’s plan to steal the gold in the federal reserve with computer money��� explained, obviously, by the latest doins of the Hawk Tuah girl.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it is december 10th 2024 i'm trying to ask mark how you doing there mark good buddy got a got a fun show i'm particularly excited to talk about a crypto scam but which we're not going to bother talking about what crypto is anymore because it doesn't fucking matter um trump's gonna steal a billion dollars in the Federal Reserve using crypto. You can talk about that. Also talk about the United Healthcare shooter assassin being caught with a ghost gun at a McDonald's, same world we're living in.

Before we get to show, a couple of things we're going to talk about. One, I was listening to an interview with a guy who wrote a book about the rise of their modern airport, basically trying to explain how they became luxury malls combined with federal prisons. Yeah, right. I feel like I know why. Not no, but I have a good guess for the federal prison part is what, and a lot of that because of, you know, terrorism and overreaction to it and that type of thing. People hijacking planes and later on blowing them up and stuff like that.

So they kept adding all these prison like requirements to it. And for malls, that's just capitalism, isn't it? You just want people. Yeah, because. Captive audience. Because people have to get there three hours earlier and they're stuck there. Right, they're stuck there. They're stuck there.

So they're going to pay 200% markup or whatever. over what they would elsewhere, because where else you're going to get this monster energy drink from? You can't, so pay us $10 for it. But the interesting part to me was like back when the mayor of New York got him to Gourney, the guy of the airports named after,

he tried to get Congress to fund the construction of a giant airport in New York City because they only had Newark. And Republicans in Congress refused to fund the construction of airports because they thought that air travel was a fad and airports were the flying essentially. essentially was woke nonsense, right?

Because if you wanted to get around, you should take a train like a man or get a job and buy a horse and buggy like a goddamn hippie because no one wants to die on the Donner Pass and a cover wagon anymore. You soft-ass pussy's basically what happened. I'm totally sure that that is also the whole, like, you know, there were so many people that thought the internet was a fad. Everybody always thinks, you know, that'll never catch on air travel. But also I do wonder if some element of it was,

you know, a big car. So much of this country's history has been shaped by, you know, cars and highways and travel and stuff like that and any other kind of I mean, internationally, sure, you can't drive a car across the ocean. Not yet. Hey, maybe we should look into building, you know, international states across those types of highways. But it would have been more big train and big cruise and big boat.

People got to cross the ocean. Yeah, big boat. Big boat tried to take out big plane and couldn't do it. All right. Right. So a couple of, one other thing I want to talk to you, just the most American thing to ever, well, we're going to tell a lot about a lot of American thing. Most American things. It's all American stuff tonight, buddy.

Yeah. So this woman named Lillianna Goodson got caught about a year ago trying to sneak a gun into Australia. And she just got sentenced like a year. It's going to be about four months in prison, like eight months or like some sort of like suspended sentence type situation. But the way, the manner which has happened is extremely hilarious. One, just trying to sneak a gold-plated gun into Australia for quote-unquote personal protection is like whatever. You're fine. You don't need to take a gun to Australia.

Yeah, right, exactly. It's like it's not like no disrespect to, you know, the good people of Mogadishu, but you're not going to Somalia or anywhere like that. Like, what, do you really need your gun? But, you know, Americans always need our guns, baby. Got to have your gun, even in Australia. That's the outback. You've seen the creatures that got down there, Mark? Like, if I can kill you in one bite, you got to be able to shoot.

She wanted to shoot a human torso-sized spider, I reckon. But, like, again, gold-plated gun in her luggage. And also, this is not a critique of her appearance, but if you want to smuggle guns in someplace, you probably should not have a bunch of face tattoos, which she had. So she had been, she'd searched online about whether she was allowed to bring the weapon to Australia, despite telling people the officers at the time she forgot she had it with her, and then a review of her phone revealed she'd searched online, can I have a gun in my suitcase? dude that's always so funny to me whenever people do that like i there's just like clip that

gets recirculated on the internet every now and then and it's a real thing and there's real victims and that's fucked up and that don't have for me but it's this clip of this dude who like killed one of his family members or something and he's sitting in court and they read off all of the search the google searches he had between the time he killed the person it's right and it's like 25 in a row that's like how much lie do you need to cover up the stink of a dead body? Can people, what, what tool is best for dismembering a body? What, like, all these, and it's just like, it's just always so funny to me when people do that,

even though it's fucked up. But yeah, she tried to tell them, I didn't even know it was in there. I totally forgot, which is an American, you might think would be a good excuse. We just have guns around us all the time, but not if you Googled, can I bring my gun to Australia or whatever. So they asked her she's carrying any prohibited items and customs, of course, are going to do. And she said, nope. And they said, what about the gun in your bags?

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. And also, she had set a calendar entry with a note reminding her to put gun in suitcase. See, that's what I'm saying. That's hilarious. But wait, do you say that she's got a year? Like, she's going to have to do a year in Australian jail, though? It was like she got a year total sentence, but only four minutes of it, four months of it's in custody. Then she got some sort of like, how probation kind of thing or whatever.

whatever. So here's the real punchline to it. Uh, she'd previously told the court she had come to Australia to attend clown school. Bro. No. No. Stop. You got to, you got to tool up when you're going to clown college in Australia, buddy. Those clowns don't fuck around. It's also just an American bringing a gold plate of gun into Australia and getting caught doing so because they were going there to attend clown school. It's just fart. It's just way too on the bright red nose, right? It's like, I'm really kind of starting to believe that we do live in a simulation. I really sort of am.

Like the further, the further week forward, we go into this circus-like future of ours, and some of the stuff we're talking about tonight fits with that, too. But it's just, it just, I can't find a better explanation for some of it. Some of this stuff is just too. Still going back to my theory, the large Hadron Collider exploded in 2013. and we got pushed into Earth 97 where everything with all the stupidest shit is happening. I feel like we're definitely in the dumbest timeline.

It's felt like that for a while. Yeah. So that's your, what they call it? That's your like branching off point in the timeline because I've seen people say that Harambe getting murdered at the Cincinnati Zoo, that that was the time when the timeline split off.

I've seen people say that the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series. That was the time that the timeline split off. Obviously, Donald Trump went in the presidential election. People have varying theories about when our timeline split off into the dumbest possible one. I think it was probably the day that LP, the rapper, learned about the Mandela effect because he could have sworn his time during his whole childhood. It was the Bernstein bears because they were Jewish. But they weren't.

They were the Berenstain bears because the bears were never, they were the Berenstain bears. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Okay. No, no, no, no. I'm just very quick because everybody knows that example. It's a famous example. Are you saying that in your mind it was Barron Stain? Because I also remember Barron Stain.

Like, you do, no, you don't. You do not remember Berenstead. But I do, though, Mark. I do. The Barronstein Bears. The bears who lived in the woods to teach children lessons about family were never Jewish. Well, what is Barron Stain? That's the real guy's name.

I know, is that demonstrably not Jewish? Yes. asking? He's just a German guy. Okay. Well, you know, sometimes I get those mixed up, which wouldn't hit for either side. But, uh, but yeah, no, that's the most famous example of the Mandela effect, and that's one that I

have always not subscribed to, but, because I know, I believe, I don't believe we live in a fucking multiverse, separate timeline or whatever. I mean, we might, but I'm saying I believe that it was always Barron Stein. I do believe that. But I recall

Barronstein in my head. When I heard that for the first time. I was like, no, that ain't right. That's fucking crazy. There's lots of stuff we all remember wrong. Like, Darth Vader's never says, Luke, I am your father. Right. Right. But like, like, but I'll, but I'll, the only pushback will give you about the Barronstein Bears being the most

prominent example is that Nelson Mandela is the most, it's the one that's named after. Yeah. I mean, I guess that's a, I guess when he died, everybody thought he'd already died. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. I mean, I guess I can't really argue with that. They probably were named the Barron Stain effect, if that was the most prominent example. So,

Anyway, all right, we've got a good show for y'all tonight. Producer Matt is with us back there doing his thing. He's back in the building, everybody. This is weekly skews.

Now, as for the show tonight, Mark already told you what we're talking to me. I'm sure you knew before you showed up, what we were talking about. The man, the most beloved assassin in recent memory has been apparently apprehended at a McDonald's in small town, Pennsylvania. We're going to talk about that, but also another story that's flying under the radar as a result of that one, and that is Hock Tua and the big crypto scam to end all, actually maybe just to begin all crypto scams.

Anyway, we'll talk about all that a little later, but first. we begin, of course, with the Daily Dimes. Tonight's D.D., anyone who thinks that vigilante murderers are heroes, right? Anyway, next up, the story of a vigilante murderer who's definitely a hero. This is Laura Engram on Fox News. We'll dig into it later. The Instagram posts from Nutbag Pee, people, which I was sent in the commercial break earlier, crazy. Like, he's cute. He's

that, and people celebrating this, this is a sickness. Honestly, it's so disappointing, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Gentlemen, thank you so much. And up next, the other big news out of New York, Daniel Penny, a lot of people think he's a hero. And tonight, he's not guilty. My take it. So if you guys don't remember, Daniel Penny was the guy who choked out that homeless Perry, sorry. She said Penny, right? Either way, he was a guy that choked out the... Penny, sorry, yeah, yeah.

Choked out the homeless... A different guy, yeah, sorry, yeah. Choked out the homeless guy on the subway a while back. And very, again, fucking simulation. Like, on the same day, that guy was found not guilt. He was acquitted for killing that homeless person at the same day, on the same day that noted spaghetti person, vigilante, Luigi Mangione, uh, was arrested in Pennsylvania.

And I can't, I can't believe she would be dumb enough to do those back to back and give us that free content. Usually they'd be self-aware enough to put an ad for catheters in between them. But like, yeah, so the guy that Penny killed, his name was Jordan Neely, uh, he was a black dude, desperately homeless, a schizophrenic, diagnosed with schizophrenia. And what he was doing was doing what a schizophrenic person does in a subway. He was screaming and bugging people and also talking about how he was sick of being hungry and thirsty and would rather die. So, Patty obliged him and choked him death over the course of six minutes while people filmed it and said,

Hey, dude, I think you're killing him. Right. Six minutes, obviously, look, dude, if somebody,

like, whatever. If so, I can see an altercation starting on the subway because of, you know, a mentally unwell, homeless person getting in your face. You react poorly.

An altercation starts. But you choke that man out for six. Six minutes is. a long time y'all if me and mark just stopped talking right now and sat here in silence sat here in silence for six minutes it would be very weird and off-putting now imagine that silence was happening because one of us was choking the other one out i could i could never be alone with my thoughts that much please don't do that uh right so so yeah they uh they caught the uh the guy who shot uh brian Brian Thompson writes, the United Health Care CEO.

Yes. Luigi Mangione. Luigi Mangione. Yeah. Yeah. His son of a rich Baltimore real estate family, which did not see that coming. And yeah, they caught him in McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. A restaurant employee evidently recognized him from the surveillance photo that it went viral and called the cops, to whom the person of interest, aka Mangione, presented the same

fake ID the show to check into the Manhattan hostel before he did in the murder. So I think he's a throughout the... He's a hitman theories here at this. Right. I wanted to ask you, Mark, yeah. I wanted to ask you, because, you know, you're smart Mark. You're the smartest guy. Any of us know, a lot of people on the internet, a lot of people on Reddit, you know, in particular.

You know how I read it be have been like, I don't buy it. It's clearly bullshit. This guy's a patsy's being set up. And I'll tell you how I know. I'll tell you how I know because anybody that, you know, plans was able to get out of Manhattan after doing something like that. that would never be caught with the same fake IDs, with the murder weapon, with, I guess, apparently he was dressed

in a very similar fashion, if not the same fashion, all in broad daylight. That just doesn't make any sense. That would never happen. Now, me and Drew talked about this today on well-reads. I go ahead and tell you, when I read that,

I was like, there's a lot of reasons that might happen. I mean, first of all, he could not be as competent as everybody thinks he is, or also maybe he wanted to get caught. Who knows? Maybe he didn't know he wanted to get caught and then saw how he became a fucking folk hero. And then he wants to get caught or there's a lot of reasons why it might happen.

But what percentage chance do you think there is that this isn't? Why you're doing this misleading diatriop? Can I interrupt here with some reality? He confessed. Right. Okay. Yeah. But you're not conspiracy theorists.

And Mark, I don't believe them. I'm saying you're not conspiracy theorists are. They think it's a, you know, a patented patsy. situation where he was like he's whatever they've convinced i don't know they've offered this guy something or set him up to do it or whatever but it's like dude as soon as you even texted me yesterday a link to his twitter profile as soon as i opened that i was like oh that's definitely that dude that's definitely that mother's like i thought that immediately i was like well they clearly got him but a lot of people just don't want to believe it for various reasons you know what i say he confessed

he had the manifesto in his pocket that he did not deny was his. The only thing he denied during his, like, arraignment was the cash in the bag was his. He said that was planted. And then when they said he had a, what's called a Faraday bag, when you put your phone in to block out signals, he said no, it was just a waterproofing bag. So he did not deny, he didn't deny the gun was his, he didn't deny the silencher was his. He didn't deny the manifesto was his. He just denied it was a Faraday bag. Do you think, do you think that he wanted to be captured, that that's part of, I don't want to say part of his plan, but like he either wanted or expected to be captured.

and he was like he's ready for it and he's all right. Trey, we're spending too much time with this guy's thought processes. It's not like, it's like you're trying to figure, you're trying to go through the, really?

You're trying to figure out the logic of his behavior and he's a murderer? You have any idea how much time is going to be spent on this dude's thought processes? He broke them down. We can go talk about that if you want. All right. Well, I'm just saying,

it's going to be a lot of speculation, buddy. Okay. We got a lot of show to get through. Okay. So, so, He was called with a ghost gun, okay? Officials have not confirmed this detail,

but I could also assume with the reports, based upon how dumb he is. He was also wearing a Times, like Times Square M&M merch, store merch, and I heart New York City t-shirt and showing people's autographed picture of the naked cowboy

and his ticket stub to see him live with Kelly and Mark, okay? He was not trying, he was not some super high-level criminal. He's just a guy who shot a guy and got caught. Okay? And he was okay with the possibility of getting caught for that, it seems like. Why you said how dumb, right, right, right.

Right, but you said how dumb he is. And I know, you know, I'm sure you make great grades in school, too, and you also are dumb and I'm dumb, okay. So you didn't and you're smart. I did make good grades and I'm dumb, but this dude was like the valedictorian and the most prestigious private school in Baltimore. He went to the Ivy League school, all this stuff. So it's like, and I think that part is kind of important, Mark, because I think if he wasn't those types of, it would be way easier to discredit him as like some unhinged lunatic dip shit living out in the woods by himself. you know cooking up a manifesto and being crazy right they could be like this was the act of a crazy man it's harder to do that I feel like with a guy with that type of back he's like an all

American boy this is an all-American boy we're dealing with he look I can't explain this guy's behavior and like it's not worth like some criminals criminals basically only get caught when they're stupid so when a guy gets caught you're like well I can't believe it's a stupid it's like yeah you can because he was caught it's a self-fulfilling prophecy cops are not going to find murderer hundreds of miles away in Altoona, Pennsylvania, unless he was a dumb fuck-up. So when he's caught, you're like, I can't believe he's a dumb fuck-up. It's like, well, you would have never caught. Like, it's a snake eating its tail sort of thing.

The logic, like, do you know what I'm saying? I do. I just feel like you, I don't know. Me and Drew talked today by, it just feels to be like maybe he's, he knew he was going to be or wanted to be. Like, you're just automatically discrediting that. He clearly has a message, Mark. You said he had the fucking manifesto on him, which spells it all out, like, He had something he was trying to say with this.

We could have posted a manifest on the internet if he wanted, if he just wanted that out there. But also, like he, like he, I think it was a manifesto. It was in case I get caught or in case I die in a shoot up the cop situation. So the world will know what I meant. Right. Okay. You said ghost gun, by the way. That's one you 3D print, right?

You can like print a gun. I heard it reported both, either a ghost gun or a 3D printed gun. A ghost gun is a son, a gun you assemble for mismatch parts in the internet so it's untraceable on a 3D printer. I've seen both. But yeah. So anyway. Either way, it's probably the first assassination with a 3D-printed gun, so he did make a set of record. But yeah, take one of the McDonald's thing is he could avoid getting arrested if he just ordered off Uber Eats.

The cops said his name wasn't even on their list. So Eric Adams lied when he said they had his name. That's a fucking lie. And NYPD being totally inept at what people think they do all day as the part of this gets get lost. I want to look at this TV footage here. Again, all parts of America failing at once. Here's a local Fox news coverage of how hard the police. Police are working just firing this guy, where they mill around a park and look at a bush.

So the gunman who killed the CEO there of the largest U.S. health insurer likely left New York City on a bus. Soon after this brazen ambush that is now shaken corporate America, but he left something behind. A backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Now, police still do not know the gunman's name or whereabouts or had a motive for the killing. You see their NYPD officers searching Central Park. new video. Now, investigators are looking at it, Matt. He's not even really looking in the bush. He's pretending to

look in the bush. I look for my shanked golf balls way harder than they are looking for this wanted murderer in these Central Park bushes. But yes, it is. A huge group of them too. Seven, eight of them

walking together. It's like, Bush, clear, a bush, clear. Go ahead, Johnson. It's like, yeah, they're really poor and everything that got into it. New York City closed libraries on Sundays to pay these guys overtime to do this. Right. So, it'd be clear from a New York police,

a New York reporter, breaking NYPD police sources say artificial intelligence is going to play a big role in nailing the ID of the gunman who killed the United Health Care CEO. His mask didn't cover his face and doing facial reconstruction. Anyway, what happened was

a McDonald's employee saw him but he looked kind of like the photo called the local Altoona police. They showed up and he had the wrong fake ID. So all this effort expended and the guy got caught because the board guy on the friator wanted the $50,000 reward. Okay.

Yeah, and that's not that dude. It's like that part, that part's kind of hard for me a little bit because it's like I had thought that we as a society had generally accepted that we were going to, you know, I am Spartacus this whole thing and not roll over on this guy, even if you did see him. But if you're working the friator at McDonald's,

especially if you got like a medical, problem that insurance isn't covering or whatever. $50,000 is a lot of money. So I mean, I do get that. So on Friday, we talked about this in the bonus episode and I said, I would not be surprised this guy's politics were like Centri Normie or MAGA.

And I got to say it called it. You did say that. Called my fucking Shodley Babe Ruth. And in hindsight, the fact is like backpack was like a designer brand called Peak Design should have been a pretty clear giveaway because you basically only get those with 10% off from a podcast ads there's a total podcast guy yeah it was filled with black rifle coffee or something like that no no no like brain powder you'd get like like like like dick pill like blue chew and like like i'm not mainstream

podcasts yeah you've been like joe rogan or like ezra klein's podcast he's he's a big fan of azur oh so you're not just saying right wing podcast you're saying no you're saying yeah by the way i just want to let everybody know. Mark did call this on the recent Patreon. Oh, that's how insight you only get it. So you know. Okay, we talked about this right after it happened before he got caught. You guys might have missed it if you weren't signed up. So check that out. Anyway, go ahead. I want to quote here from New York Police Chief of Detective's Joseph Kenny, what he said to reporters. It does seem he has some ill will toward corporate America. Like, you fucking think, buddy. No. That's, that's everybody in 2020.

America. Like, you've got to be more specific, right? And you're talking about, like, a reporter, a writer I read, a RIS substack. The guy's name is Max Reed, so it's going to be, it's confusing. But he went through a breakdown of like all of his, his internet posts and like who he follows and his activity. Let me give you a list of people he follows, okay. Ezra Klein, Sam Altman, Edward Snowden, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Brent Weinstein, John McAfee, Joe Rogan, and Steveo from Jackass. Okay. Okay. So, he's basically, like a like enlightened centrist

bro intellectual guy who likes to be well read and well informed and right and he's like yeah you know fuck all that woke shit but I'm not going to say I'm right wing either and it's like you know

he just wants to be yeah he likes all those Andrew Huberman and guys like that and that type of shit he's slightly more centrist me with a slight with slightly more angry

anger. I was going to, like, try to call you on you saying slightly more anger and then I remembered who I was talking to me, you know, considering this guy executed a man in public. But yeah, slightly is an accurate, uh, accurate qualifier. But this, those are not the, that's not the follow list of like a person who's like in the, in the DSA or a member of Black Block, the Antifa group or anyone like a Molon Lab guy who was like, couldn't take it right winger or a Nazi shit poster. Like, this is a guy you run into at the gym, right? If you know anybody who works in tech or Wall Street, you know this guy. I know 50 of this guy.

Yeah. The basic thought line, I'm quoting here from Max Reed, the basic thought line of his ideology is the world is getting worse and phones are killing us. Politics won't save us, but technology might. In the meantime, lift weights, take supplements, listen to podcasts. Okay. Uh-huh. That's basically.

I mean, the thing is, when you put it that way, I'm like, I mean, this guy's spitting, you know? Like every word of what you just said, I think it's pretty good. I mean, I don't know how most supplements do. But the rest of that, yeah, no, you're, I feel like, I totally anecdotally, I feel like most 26-year-old white guys, especially middle class or above white guys in this country,

are like very close to what this dude is. Outside of the murder, he's utterly normal. That's the thing. Like, he's just perfectly normal except the fact he decided to murder a stranger for, like, random political beliefs that are. Which that's like, that's like, that's telling, right? that's important the fact that it is that is true the fact that he's he is a normal guy who made the decision to do something like this like right but he's one you said supplements

don't work and I want you go look at pictures of Luigi with his shirt off and tell me that again buddy that guy was fucking jacked yeah uh uh but the like the political beliefs he killed for were utterly centrist and observational there was nothing like conspiracy theory driven about it like we'll get there's manifesto in a second but like I read an article as an interview with people. He ran a book club in Hawaii. He was one of the leaders of a book club. And he was beloved.

He ended up having chronic back pain after a surfing accident or compounded by a surfing accident where his vertebrae would slip out of it all the time, which may be part of his anger towards the U.S. healthcare system. But like the podcast was going great and didn't break up to try to get everybody to read the Unabomber's Manifesto after he wrote a long positive review of it in Goodreads. Okay. Have you, I haven't read the whole thing. I'm sure over the years you've read parts of the Unabomers Manifesto, right?

there's plenty of times they're out there where you're like I mean he's making some pretty good points like you can't just go you can't go maiming innocent people have nothing to do with it

with explosions and shit but like you know a lot of the shit he says was pretty prescient banks are bad technology it makes us miserable and we should all live in a cabin

in the woods the utterly normal thing to feel we just can't do it because you can't commerce doesn't work that way we have to live around other people and sell stuff to them right

So as far as why he did do it, Laura Lumer Trump's internet-rumbered girlfriend. Side piece, yeah. Yeah, it has a theory. She says, Luigi is Facebook friends with Moses Hetfield. Hetfield is one of Mangione's few Facebook friends. Headfield is a son of Mark Hetfield, who's the president of the Jewish NGO who supports refugees, sorry, which facilitates immigration into the United States with funding from the DHS. DHS secretary

Alejandro Mayorkas was on the board of this organization before it was appointed by Joe Biden. Moses' mother is Miriam Heffield who works at DHS. Therefore, it's the Jews and Joe Biden who put Luigi up to it for reasons that we'll figure out later.

Sure. Before we could, Matt, leave that up. At the bottom of this post, the last thing she says is, what are the odds that the alleged shooter has one degree of separation away from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. And I would ask you, if he went to a fucking prestigious Baltimore private school

and his family is like high-level rich Baltimore people right outside of Washington, D.C., odds are pretty goddamn good that that would happen because, as George Carlin said, it's a big club and you ain't in it or whatever. It's not at all. Vegas would give like, I don't know, minus 2,500 odds on that. being the case or something like you'd almost lose money taking that bet because it makes all the sense in the fucking world given the geography and the context of the situation but and uh the so uh apparently we're not going to get to the crypto stuff today we'll save that for the next show um so uh so but yeah

when you do the six degrees of separation stuff i've bought this up before but once i once got from myself to saddam hussein in four moves okay so yes but like so like so like Like, but you want to do it just with our little show. We got a message from a viewer who I'm not going to name because she didn't give me permission to, but I hope you're watching. She said one of her best friends, youngest kids was good friends with Luigi. So we are two degrees removed from Luigi. That's a great point. Yeah.

Put aside what I said. I'm from rural Tennessee. You're from rural Virginia. We both live in Los Angeles and you and I are two degrees removed from Luigi. So yeah. Yeah. The world's small, baby. It's weird.

So Luigi was a big, he worked in tech and he's a big proponent of, like, he's a big AI enthusiast. He also had bad back pain. So two reasons off the top of my head, he could be mad at United Health Care or because his head chronic back pain, they wouldn't help him with. And also because United Healthcare was making AI look bad by using it to reject all their claims. But now it is what we thought that a reporter got a hold of his manifesto.

I'll just quote one line from it. It's not very long. It's like 250 words. He's one of the rare one of these guys who's not super up his own. ass about his own beliefs. Right. A reminder, the U.S. is the number one most expensive health care system in the world. You'll be ranked number 42 in life expectancy.

That's basically the gist. He also said at the very end of it, the last sentence of it was, I'm something like, I'm sorry, I'm just the only person to have confronted this reality with brutal honesty or something like that, which also powerful. He's like the one of those, United Healthcare is one of those profitable corporations on the planet and they're not spending that money taking care of us, even though we pay. them to that kind of thing so um so uh the internet still loves them obviously uh on Etsy wired found almost a hundred different listings featuring products with mangione's name or

image including a tote bag with pictures of the alleged shooter alongside the phrase mama i'm in love with the criminal right when Etsy ladies use tote bags are cheering on a murder some shit's fucked up dude i look man i we've all heard the stories over the years about like fucking uh like charles manson his hobo nazi ass got all these marriage proposals and stuff and all that always happens. When you, considering that, this dude's got to be the Will Chamberlain of getting love letters in prison or whatever.

This guy, a folk hero who looks like that, lights out, buddy. RIP, their inbox. Good Lord, it's never going to stop. And the pearl question, but I can't believe people would support a murderer. It's like, bro, like John Dillinger was a fucking hero. I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

That's the thing about Laura Ingram and all that. And that what she did, I feel like that's actually kind of telling because you know that was coming from her producers and the people at Fox News, which maybe I'm reading too much into it. But it feels like they're, because all they do is pander. Their expectation is that that's what their audience wants to hear is her being like, this is disgusting that people would support this man. But like, that ain't what I've seen. I've seen people on both sides, Fox Newsie-ass people who were like, no, fuck that motherfucker. like this he should have been like it's this is unified the country this murder in a lot of ways

Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro's audience like a big chunk of him turned on him for trying to frame this is a left versus right issue like they're trying to frame it this way man this the culture war does not plug into this the way they wanted to but they're trying to manufacture it okay right like talking about trying to manufacture it and it like the bosses have noticed and freaked out but a lot of our corporate coastal media, I'm not alleging any sort of conspiratorial thing at this particular moment, but they can often be understood as the voice of the bosses because they work in the managerial class

and all the people they went to college with are guys like Brian Thompson. Exactly, yes. So throw the screen grab up of this headline, Matt, from the San Francisco Chronicle. The recent killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan

has brought renewed attention to the escalating costs of protecting talk of executives. Right. that's where this is about is the escalating cost of protecting top executives, not of health care, not of health care. Yeah, but I, to give, to jerk my own self off for a minute here on our show Friday when you called what he would be like, I said something we were talking about the CEO, all the other CEOs, and whether they'd have any introspection or not. And I said something like, you know they're not going to change the way they act or the way they treat people or the way they operate. What they're going to do is they're going to deny enough additional.

claims to be able to put aside two million more dollars for personal security or something like they're just going to beef up their fucking autonomous drone fleet hire a couple more body doubles or so like that's all they're going to fucking do bro the Trump administration might give them all you ask marshals um

oh my god the the fun house mirror part of this is going to kill me because when people like just fucking have no idea what they're talking about and don't even want to learn the New York Times at a focus group today of Trump voters that uh A lot of people's explanations for why they voted the way they did and why they think the way they did. If you want to vote for Trump, fuck I vote for him.

Okay. But like, you should at least like Google what is Trump. Okay. This woman, 28-year-old white woman named Seneca from Arizona, said, I voted for him because I thought he was really smart and really good with money and then also health care. I think it's really cool that he's going to take on fighting the big health care corporations that are charging insane amounts and hopefully get that under control. Okay. the only thing Trump has is other than repealing Obamacare

which he did not campaigned on a lot about says he's tax cuts and his proposed tax cuts will give United Health Group over a billion dollars in cash just straight up cash then hopefully maybe they'll use to pay for this fucking lady's psychiatric men's so anyway right

well that is kind of the bigger question though isn't it Mark is that like disconnect between this has illustrated that most regular Americans are on the same page about this underlying inequity or injustice.

Most people are mad about the same stuff and feel like fuck these motherfuckers, which should be potentially unifying and exploitable or whatever, but then you run into this problem where people have, I guess, the most charitable way to put it is

different interpretations of what the approach to that should be, but like, I mean, me what that's the that's the real problem right like if you could get everybody to they're already like in a macro philosophical sense on the same page about so much of this if you could get them on the same page politically or whatever then shit could really change and and things could really get better but you but how do you do that when you have people like seneca 28 from arizona you know like like well dude One, my misread of this election was not realizing that a bunch of people are as angry as I am, okay? Right. I generally assume other people aren't because- Yeah, no, it seems like everybody's angry. Right.

So that was my fuck up. And I think a lot of people like sort of misbid the same assumption. But like, I would start just tonally how you think about candidates run people who are full of righteous fury. Right. Yeah. Because Trump pretends to be full of righteous fury. Right. Yeah.

He's just full of fury. So that would be my baseline thing is like maybe find somebody who's actually mad because a lot of y'all don't seem mad. And that seems like part of the problem. If you're not mad, you're not paying attention. And why would you vote for some money? He's not fucking paying attention. Yep. All right.

So moving on from Trump's plan to give United Healthcare Group tax breaks for killing your grandmas. Let's talk about some other corrupt robber bar and shit. I wanted to talk about Trump II's plan to steal real money using crypto. But first, I thought it'd be fun to look at how this market and the players really work by examining the recent hijinks of America's sweetheart, the hawk tour girl, Haley Welch. If you got this video, man. My hawk meme coin is love.

Okay, all right. So I feel like a lot of, I feel like she's gotten, I mean, I know it's still a shitstorm for her, but I feel like she's gotten lucky pretty majorly in that, like, I know me personally, I've been so wrapped up in the CEO just faster than his capture and all that. Like, I have not been able to follow this whole deal

where apparently the Hawke do a girl, like, defrauded her plans out of $50 million in crypto something or, like, right? Like, what the fuck? Kind of. Oh, yeah, we're going to get into it. But yeah, so she launched her meme coin. Then 15 minutes later, you get this headline from Barstool Sports, which is ostensibly her employer who she contracts with through her podcast.

The Hawk to her girl launched a meme coin. Everybody lost their money and people weren't thrown in jail. Okay? So, uh, yeah, let me read this other,

this other, uh, a screen graph from Twitter where this guy is super mad at her. Uh, he had, he had, quote tweeted a chart of the declining value of the her crypto asset and said,

Hawk to a girl is a Jewish parenthesis massad plant. Don't forget that. So they're hitting her with the same shit. Reddit used to hit you at Ray. Literally, anytime something goes wrong for people or whatever in this, or a certain type, it was like,

you just default right to the Jews. You know, it's like it was the Jews who did this. Before we get further into this, speaking from a place of ignorance, which I'm going to make very apparent right now, I've said many times over the years, I believe in personal responsibility and things like that. I'm not saying it's okay to be predatory

with these types of scams and shit like that, but I find it hard to sympathize with anybody who lost their goddamn mortgage and is going to end up being divorced because they put their families in, entire life savings into the hawk coin or whatever like that don't make it okay what they did but come on dog like what the danger you do the day first of all i do bad for people to get taken by scams although that's not really what's happening in these crypto stuff what's happened

is everybody's trying to scam each other and some of them lose okay we're to get into that a little bit if we have time but the the uh in general this is a danger to the rest of us because it we're essentially doing bank runs all the time all over the place and the rest of us are going to lose because of it. Right. Because bank runs can have collateral damage. They can have larger ripple effects that fuck up a lot of other things and a lot of other

people. That guy who was talking about who loses his house because he put all of his family's money into hot coin. He's now homeless. His house is foreclosed on property values drop including your property values. We all live in this together. Yep. No, you're right. No, you're right. I retract what I said. That's a good point actually.

I should have known that. I should have understood that before you had to explain that to me that we all have to live. Because that was the whole message, not the message, but a huge takeaway from this election was wanting, wanting to feel like, you know what? Deal with the fucking consequences then if this is what you wanted. But then further realizing like, oh, wait, I live here too. And I'm also going to have to deal with those consequences. Yeah. I've seen people saying, well, like the people who voted, not realizing they were voting to deport their relatives, fuck them, let it happen.

I'm like, nope, sorry. I don't want them to get, I don't want the relatives to get deported, even if they fucked up. Sorry. So what happened here? Haley launched Hock coin on December 4th. Once trade had started,

value peaked around $490 million for over, we're bet on hot coins. Okay. Within hours, the tokens value crashed over, as over 91% of tokens were sold by insider wallets and bot snipers. This is all so stupid. A bot stiper is basically a computer program

that has high-speed trades to make fractions of, to make fractions of money on arbitrage doing quick trading. So Welchner team, I did not any wrongdoing, but the thing with blockchain is you can watch the money move around in real time. And her and her people who had pledged not to sell theirs, but to hold them had done insider trading and sold tokens for around $3.3 million. So they cost people 50 million bucks to make $3 million. You said her and her people.

Is this say like, you know, full disclosure, Dodgers fan now? It's like a Shohayotani thing where it's like, you know, where there's some ignorance where she can be like, I don't speak that language. I'm sorry. This person, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if the non-sports fans get the analogy, but. It's like Pan had a Barbera to put Scooby-Do on a lunchbox. She didn't do anything other than proof.

Right. Right. Yeah. She's like, hell of a hot tool girl is not coding or anything. Right. Right. Right. Or coming up with any of this or any of that stuff.

Yeah, I just want to say, like, her rise and be studied in a series of books. Like, she just went viral this past summer. And at this rate, she's going to be Cleopatra looting over all North America by, like, fucking March. Bro, even just a minute ago, when you said that the value of the coin, the crypto coin named Hawk, which is after a blowjob reference, it's $490 million. Like, what even is any of this? What are what, like you said, it's going to be studied and if there is, if there are history books in the future, like, good luck making sense of all this stuff. We, we, we, I, this timeline I just don't know, dude, it's wild.

It's truly wild. So in an interview of Fortune magazine talking about this launch, Welch said she used to conceive a crypto as cool just a scam and an easy way to you lose money, but she changed her mind after going to a couple of conferences, which is her way of saying she figured out that her role in this system would be to switch from potential parade, a potential predator. Right, making the money, yeah. Right, which is how everyone gets into this, right?

It's worth knowing that Trump also used to call crypto a scam until he got in on that now. He and his friends sell a bunch and true social is about to become a crypto exchange. Okay. The dynamic I want everyone to understand here is there are no victims, only volunteers. It's like this whole system is like an even more nihilistic Las Vegas where you can win, yeah, but the only consistent way to win is to be the casino, which is again why Trump is becoming a crypto exchange. To go back to Artuah for a second, this part of her career has made the avatar for a thing I've been struggling to describe. Like, it's this modern, like, wide acceptance of, not just acceptance, but praise of greed chasing nihilism. Like, a month ago, we talked about how I think a symptom of our age is like, like, it used to be not cool to sell out.

And now everybody sells out as fast as possible and doesn't even get criticized for it. Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah, that's that hustle grindset mentality, right? That's what it's all about. It's like, and it's all. And like one of the unfortunate, I don't even know if you could call it a side effect, but one of the things that sucks the most about that is it's like it's accepted that there's, I mean, I guess J.P. Morgan said there's a sucker born every minute,

or P.T. Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute 200 years ago. So I guess maybe it isn't that different. But just the people just accepting that. doing that is going to fuck up. You winning is going to make other people lose and that's a whole part of the game and that's what you should be striving towards. You know, like that's what the culture

is. But like the only way this system works for people to make money is the majority of people with suckers but none of them think they're the sucker. Right. Exactly. So like, the main thing is like scams like this used to be a bit trashy

or shameful at least like if people found out you were doing. in them or whatever, you'd have to be like not, you wouldn't be accepted in polite society. If people wouldn't like, people wouldn't admit thinking you're cool. But now it's like aspirational to a lot of young people. And there's been a lot of hand wringing over the like the move to the right among younger men this last election or like, I think a young bell voter is sworn to the right about 12 percentage points.

And people seem to assume it's because they listen to the wrong kind of podcast, you know, like our boy Luigi did. But it's worth noting that a lot of these podcasters and hucksters, yeah, are sort of a line with Trump, but they're mostly just aligned with getting rich. That's what their allegiance is to. The purpose of all their streaming and posting and podcasting is to attract attention and then convert that attention into money just like their hero Donald Trump, right? So they're not exactly Trump followers. They're Trump like people who emulate him. Okay. Right. And going back to the young men thing for a second,

like you quoted, you quoted P.T. Barnum, you said it was J.P. Morgan, but here's a J.P. Morgan. J. Morgan put out a study recently that said that said a thing we all know is true, but they have data behind it. The crypto usage is more prominent among younger individuals and men are more actively engaged in each age group, okay? So one way we can think of this past election is as a crypto election for a lot of people. And that same focus group was earlier with that Trump voter who said she thought voted for Trump because he's going to fix health care, all right?

Let me quote, a 23-year-old white guy from New Jersey who works as a lacrosse coach named Eric. The reason he voted, he was happy he voted for Trump, who was asked to name a good thing happening in America. And he said, cryptocurrency is skyrocketing. Okay. And he's not wrong. Since Election Day, it's shut up from less than $80,000 a Bitcoin to over 100. It's now back below 100. But, you know, those things, that's why the twat's useless as a currency and really risky as a speculative investment because it goes up and down like fucking, I don't know, what's a kangaroo on a tramp? What's a fucking shitty analogy? I don't know.

Kangaroo on a trampoline. You had it. You were there. Believe in yourself, Mark. Anyway, go ahead. I just got halfway through it. I was like, that makes you sound older than I even am. It's a fucking bad last joke. So I just want to say the kids are fucking dumb, but they're not stupid, okay? Right, right.

They don't have any sense of long-term stuff. They understand what's going to make crypto go up and getting Donald Trump elected is going to make crypto go up, okay? Yeah. And I also want to say that Trump talks in like these undiagramable sentences and dog whistles and he says opposite things to opposite people,

but as consistent message to everyone is, I will help you have more money. he in fact I remember it's like you said about how like everybody's everybody's P.T.

Barnum and nobody's the sucker or whatever which is not how you said but that's how we look at Trump too is like I'll make all y'all we'll make all these other dumb asses pay and we'll all be rich

but it's like that ain't how somebody's got to be the dumbass somebody's the person that's getting took you can't all be the fucking swindler holding the bag at the end like I couldn't find the clip but I remember watching him out of Riley literally go

I am going to make you all rich. He said that to a crowd of thousands of people, okay? And that, I don't know how much that resonates to people because it seems so full of shit to me, but there's a mind-blowing study that came out recently. Axios wrote it up. What they did it by age cohort, what it takes to you financially successful by generations? They asked a bunch of different people what they thought, how much money you needed to make a year to be successful.

Boomer said $100,000, okay? Which, depending on where you live, is a great living in America. It's not if you're in San Francisco or New York, but L.A., you can pay your rent and, you know, eat out a few times, you get takeout every now and then and drive a decent car as long as it's a Honda, okay. Gen X had $212,000 a year, which way to go, Gen X, I guess. Millennials were a little, you know, more reasonable, said $180,000. Yeah, it's weird to me that we went down, that it went, Gen X went up and it's not to me. It's not to me. Gen X has more money than everybody.

Oh, okay. All right. Well, there you go. But the youngest workers, the Gen Z cohort, think they have to earn almost $600,000 a year to be successful. Right. And further, they all think they're going to do that, right? 71% think they're going to do that.

Right, like, that's the even worse part of it. And it's like, dude, you can't tell me this isn't because of them being exposed to all these, like I said, fucking Grimeset, alpha male Ferrari, driving dipshits on YouTube and social media and all this stuff. Their whole culture is flossing and ripping other people off. You know, Andrew Tates their fucking God, a lot of

them and his whole, he openly brags all the time about all the people he's exploited and screwed over and fucked out of their money to make himself rich. And it's just, you know, you've got to be, I don't know, you've got to have three Ferraris or you're not even middle class in their mind after years

of that, but it's awful. It's awful. I have tremendous difficulty processing economic, like emotional data from people about how, how well off they feel or don't feel, you know, outside of like, I can tell people are pretty economically, you know, frustrated with health care when they're cheering on the murder of a CEO, right? Yeah. But when people say they're not making enough money, but also they think enough is $600,000 a year, it makes you want to fucking like pull my non-existent hair out. But like, I kind of was trying to think out, what is it, what is excited even looks like? everyone makes $600,000. It's like we all go out to eat for sushi every night,

but no one fucking works there. You know what I'm saying? Like what is this even look? What is the world to you? Like what fucking, like how far up your head? Right. Well,

that's what that's why we need. I don't know. Like the endless pursuit of, of growth and profit and shit and capitalism, which leads to larger wealth inequality and all that stuff, has got to fucking stop because it would be better for everybody if we live. If you, if your passion,

a young Japanese person or a young person from Kansas, I don't give a fuck, is making sushi, that's your passion. Like, you should be able to do that for a living for your entire life and live respectively, right? Have a family and pay your bills and shit. And there was like a fleeting

moment in the mid-century in the, you know, in the 20th century where as long as you were white and everything, you know, that seemed like it might be possible one day. But then, again, the drug of capitalism, America got fully addicted to it. Ronald Reagan got a, and it was just the endless pursuit of growth and unsustainable growth and all this stuff. And it's like, you just can't, there's no other logical, or end point for

that stuff than, then that. There's people at the top and everybody else destitute, you know, and it's like, I probably know thousands of people. And off the top of my head, I can name one that I know makes more than 600 grand a year. And a second one that's, probably had a couple years where he made more than that, and then not anymore, okay? So I don't even know where these kids think they're going to get, whatever. Anyway, right. So a lot of them are leveraged into crypto. A lot of them think they're going to go pop off and some of them might. And a lot of them think they're going to be on this scam we're about talking about, but they're probably going to be left hold in the bag.

There's like the fucking rest of us who have money in the treasury. Okay. This piece I'm working off of is called the crypto plot against America's gold reserves is in the American prospect. So the crypto industry was one of the biggest spenders in the 2024 election, which has a made-up fake industry, doesn't do anything, having enough money to throw around in politics like this, you start answering questions like that, and you'll get really far to explaining a lot of stuff that's going on right now. Yeah, well, hell, they bought the Staples Center, Mark, you're a basketball fan, even before the politics and stuff. They fought the Navy rights. I know, right, but I mean, that's what I mean. It's a crypto, you know,

because that's how, that's the, I don't know, cultural clout or whatever that the idea of crypto had at some point. That's the value that people assigned to it. even though all this shit is made up, you know? Well, the one, they bought the name of it, right, it's not the arena, which is an important distinction. I know, yeah. Crypto.com is an exchange. It's not just owning Bitcoins.

Again, owning the casino is different. You know, the old thing we're like, when there's a gold rush, you don't want to, you don't want to be mining claims, you want to be selling the axes and shovels, right? Of course. That's owning the crypto exchange. Okay. Yeah, of course. All I'm saying is that it, like, points to the sort of cultural phenomenon

status of crypto and everything that's going on with it and, you know, how big of a thing it is. They also, crypto.com immediately went broke, at least for a while. Because Bitcoin goes up and, the crypto stuff goes up and down so much. It's like that, that wasn't the era when Tom Brady was doing Super Bowl ads for them. And then the market, the bottom fell out of the market. And then they made a comeback because of reasons that I don't understand. Anyway, here we are. But yeah, crypto is going politically powerful.

We talked about how they, they single-hally bought Ohio, the Ohio Senate seat away from Sherrod Brown. It's been a while since California's Senate primary, but one of the, one of the big reasons that Katie Porter couldn't beat Adam Schiff is because crypto's like $10 million trying to rat fucker in the primary. And they successfully convinced Trump, who ceased to resamble a mile away to get in on it. And now he's convinced that crypto is overregulated somehow. So now the crypto has bought all that political influence, it's time to cash in. And the basic idea here is to turn the American government into the biggest crypto holder of all time. and because Wales, not the little guy, not the people were talking about buying

a chunk of a Bitcoin or one Bitcoin, Wales hold most of it. It would be one of the biggest upward transfers of wealth in world history. Right. If that happens, it would be one of the biggest upward transfers of wealth in world history.

And how many different crypto rows you think are out there right now that are fully bought into this shit are singing the praises of, of Luigi. right of him and what he did and the reasons why he did it right because we're getting fucked over by these people yet they're actively participating in in that so yeah there's a couple different plans for ways a trial administration can do this uh the the smaller ones

are like when i say small here we've got to think in terms of federal budget but like it's the you can move small pockets of money around they're just under the president and the president and the feds control to buy crypto they add up about 50 billion total which the stakes of stuff we're worried about with Donald Trump, still $50 billion. But the big one here is been formally introduced in a crypto bill by a Senator of Cynthia Loomis, public in from Wyoming. It's called the boosting innovation technology and competitiveness through optimized investment nationwide act.

You want to guess what that spells out? Yeah. Bitcoin. But somebody who used to work for the federal government, that, they, you know what I mean, intern, you know, some intern is getting jerked off by all the other interns for helping to come up with that. Dude, they live to come up with fucking acronyms in the federal government. Sorry, we got cut up for it. Now, yeah, sorry, I guess we're back.

I was just saying they, if somebody worked at the federal government, nothing hits for them harder than pithy acronyms. Yeah. I love that shit. So, Lewis's bill proposed the Treasury issue, no gold certificates based upon the market price of gold and the Federal Reserve and use the resulting cash, which is $677 billion at current prices, which when you're selling gold, I'm not an economist, but when you're selling gold, I'm assuming the gold has become worth less. And when you're buying Bitcoin, the Bitcoin value is going to go up. So it's going to be more expensive than this. But her starting prices is $677 billion at current prices to buy

Bitcoins. In total, her bill required the government to buy after 200,000 Bitcoins a year for five years until America has a strategic reserve of a million bitcoins. So this is basically so paper Bitcoin billionaires can cash out all their holdings into real money without tanking the market. So this is the way to take all their money out of the crypto without letting the regular rubs know they're getting fucked so the price won't drop until they're all out of it. And hopefully make the, I guess, the Federal Reserve, we'll have to prop up all these bitcoins in perpetuity by continuously buying them so these morons never realize they lose money

and start a revolution. So this whole thing is so incredibly stupid We're all going to end up wearing barrels for pants in five years Because Cynthia Loomis figured out how to spill Bitcoin in a fucking law This is so goddamn stupid That gold That gold is fucking mine yours, Trey That's right

Our answers is dug it on the goddamn ground We pay taxes to keep it in a hole in fucking Fort Knox Where the aliens and shit It's out there Yeah, man, like you said, I don't know Welcome to the future y'all the dumbest of all possible timelines. We're living in it right now.

Oh, I meant to say this forever ago, and I forgot. So last minute announcement. Next week's show will be our last show of this year because it's worked out this year that Tuesday is on the Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are both on a Tuesday. We're not going to do a live show on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. That would be insane. We both have families and also that just wouldn't have for anybody.
