What's up everybody? Welcome to the Yanis Papas Hour. We took Thanksgiving off because we wanted you guys to have a Happy Thanksgiving. And all I bring to you is sad news that I try to make light of. There's a civil war going on in Africa. Syria, Aleppo, problems again. And North Korea, I think it's been lifted, but was under martial law for a couple of hours, a good strong couple of hours. So I don't know what's going on. I do know that the trade war is heating up,

that Biden just sent a whole bunch of money over to Taiwan for weapons. He also sent a billion to Africa for national disasters, which makes North Carolina PEST. Because North Carolina still has some problems. But he's on the way out. He's got senioritis. He don't care. He's pardoning his son. He's throwing money at Africa, at Taiwan.

The whole nine yards. Donald Trump is threatening to make Canada a 51st state. He don't care. And Eminem's mom is dead. And he's the chief suspect. This is the Yanis Papas Hour. Let's get into it.

So lots of fun stuff happening. The reality show has begun. Trump suggests Canada should become the 51st state after he said that he was going to just, he's throwing tariffs out there. He's giving tariffs away like crazy Eddie. He's basically going, you're getting a tariff, you're getting a tariff, you're getting a tariff. Japan, you're getting blocked. Japan, there's a Japanese steel company that wants to buy US steel for a lot of money. And much like any of us selling our home to the Chinese, we want to say yes to those cash offers because we don't care about the 15-year plan or America as a whole. We're only America first until that cash offer comes in.

And then you go, you know what? I'm gonna continue to be America first while I watch Charlie Kirk on whatever fucking offbeat network he's on. I don't know, he's on the big forehead network. We're gonna continue to watch that and I'll continue to say that amongst my friends and family in the Long Island and other places

that are culturally Republican. But when I'm selling my house, I will take that cash offer from a Chinese LLC. I'll just take it. So you know US Steel, they're going what are you doing? We're getting a good cash offer. They're not even Chinese, they're Japanese. And Trump's going same thing. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, all the same thing. It ain't happening. I'm not letting US Steel be owned by a Japanese firm because he wants to bring steel back.

So it's Nippon Steel. Not a great name. Not a great name if you don't like jokes. But if you like jokes, but if you like jokes, the name of the company is Nip, Pond, Steel. It's a Japanese company. I could have written that. They should have been more aware of that before they were building. I try to buy an American company, they should have took a peek at some of the horrible pejoratives that American GIs used for Japanese. Um, so maybe for them it's the sun's origin, but for American GIs and their

progeny, it means something completely different, But it's Nipon. Nip-Pon Steel. They wanted to buy it for 15 bill. So American Steel, they want to get bought. They're going, come on, dude, just give me this money so I can invest it in crypto, move to Miami and sell NFTs like the rest of the country. My daughter's got an OnlyFans account. Just let us go. Just give us this Eastern hemi money like the rest of us who take it in private and then publicly go America first. Do you think anyone can can say

America first when that offers in front of them. Right? When you're selling your apartment or you're selling your house and that cash over comes in from a shell Chinese LLC and it's all cash and it's a hundred thousand over asking, does anyone go, no, I wanna keep this neighborhood Italian. I'm gonna take the bank loans money for asking price

and reject this over 100,000 asking of Eastern hemisphere money. I don't know if anyone does that, which always supports my point that people are hypocrites and also very self-interested and easily bought. And I don't blame them for that because in this country you got to get whatever extra money's coming in no matter when it's coming in. I'll tell you right now the Nazi party could have left an inheritance for me, okay? They could

have left an inheritance. Now the Nazis affected my life. My mother lived under their occupation and I feel bad for the Jews and I don't like fascists and I don't like dictators. I think democracy and republics are the best. I think rule of law and freedom is the best. But if the Nazis had left me a 15 million dollar inheritance just because Adolf Hitler wanted to say sorry for whatever he did to my mom's village. Not even that because I would take that as reparations. Let's say he said it because they love the jokes we tell on history hyenas in the future and they knew about that because they had some sort of German time machine. I'm taking the 15 million.

I'm looking the other way and I'm taking the 15 million. I'm looking the other way and I'm taking the 15 million. I'll tell you that right now. If P. Diddy offered me a bribe right now, I'm taking the money. We're all taking the money. We're all taking the money. Can you remember that from maybe the title of the episode? Because those stress me out,

trying to figure out what the algorithm's going to like. How about this for the algorithm? Matt Rife, Matt Rife puts away rumors that he got face tits. How about that? He says no plastic surgery. So I'm just gonna start doing complete catfish headlines because I don't know, controversial comedian, is he controversial?

Go watch the history hyenas episode with Matt Rife. Great guy, I like him. He seems like a sweet kid. He's a lot younger than me. And he was on page six or whatever saying he didn't get plastic surgery, but he did admit on history hyenas that he did get a big old case of teeth tits.

So he got his teeth fixed, which is no big problem. Charlie Murphy did the same thing. Everyone gets their feasts ticked. Chris Rock got his teeth fixed. So he hasn't got plastic surgery. He didn't look like to me like he got plastic surgery. He does have nice, voluptuous lips. Maybe he's born with those.

Maybe there's old pictures where they're thinner. I don't know. If you got lip injections, I'll tell you what, they look good. They don't look like lip injections. They look like good, dick-sucking lips. And nothing wrong with that. You know what I mean?

So, I don't know. He said he's a late bloomer. He went through puberty at 20, changed his face. Okay, fine. I don't know. I'm not attracted to him, I'm not a gay man, because if I was a gay man, I would be attracted to him. I think Christa Stefano is attracted to him. Yeah, he's attracted to him. I'm attracted to girls, I'm attracted to female presenting individuals. I mean, does that make me more attracted to a sweet looking, feminine boy? Oh, not boy, man. My old Greek came out.

A young man, feminine, because feminine looking, you got to be on the younger side. Or Asian. An Asian crossdresser who passes more than a bull lesbian who's overweight. Maybe. I like female presenting. I don't know why that is. Those are extreme examples. But if given the Sophie's choice, but if given the if given the Sophie's choice I May take the ladyboy. I Don't know but thankfully we're not in a Sophie's choice position For that So, I don't know

but Korea is in a Sophie's choice position between martial law and not martial law and this snuck up on everybody and The conspiracy theories are running amok blaming America, and I probably won't have to look too hard to pin this on Israel. I Probably you probably won't have to look too hard to find a frisbee conspiracy, but here we are nobody knows nobody really knows that South Korea was a dictatorship up until like 20 years ago. And you know, then we got in there and like enough of that, baseball, here's the thing, threw them a baseball, you know, threw them some money, said, hey, democracy, here's how you write your constitution. And they've been pretty, they've been behaving for a while and then they elected this guy who's a very conservative guy and

Who has not been popular his? His his name is funny like all Korean names. His name is Yoon Sook Yul Yoon Sook Yul And His wife took a handbag for political favors, but she avoided prosecution He's been accused of some corruption. He's been criticized. There was a Halloween crushing situation that happened where 159 people got killed and People blamed him because the whatever the police weren't ready or whatever. They blame him There's a medical strike. The doctors are on strike, medical staff's on strike.

He's got a 17% approval rating, most recent rating. And so he's a popular guy. He's a popular guy. And I guess there was rumors for a long time that he was gonna be impeached. They wanted to impeach him. And all out of nowhere,

he declares martial law and he says all these things, fake news, no more fake news, medical staff has to report back to work in 48 hours. I don't know, citizens can make arrests. I don't know, don't be outside. I don't know, whatever. And he was he just the opposition and the protests are hard against him. And so he just declared martial law. But the National Assembly Assembly, which is their parliament or if you're American and don't know what a parliament is, which is probably a lot of people that's synonymous with Congress for us, right? The legislative branch voted 190 to zero, I believe, to overturn the martial law,

but the Korean Constitution says that the president could declare martial law, but the legislative branch can veto it, but there's no timetable about when the president has to lift it after the legislature vetoes it. So it's a little bit of a loophole. So by the time you're watching this, I don't know if martial law will continue, but I can tell you what. Stocks have dropped stocks have dropped people scramble to sell their stocks to Samsung and whatever other Korean companies there are I'm sure there's a bunch of Korean companies I had no idea Korea had problems there's so many other

problems going on I had no idea I just thought it was this happy place underneath North Korea that was the antithesis of North Korea where everyone loved Kpop and They talked on their Samsung's and they love to breakdance I didn't know that there was all this tension going on and people were so unhappy but martial-law has been Declared and it's given us a quick preview into what's gonna happen in a couple of months We'll find out right I banged my knee, but there's no doctors in Korea that can help me.

Thank God we're not in Korea. We'll find out. I mean, this guy say no more fake news. That sounds familiar. We will see. We will find out. We're going to learn a lot in this four years. We will see, we will find out. We're gonna learn a lot in this four years. We're gonna learn a lot. What's gonna happen? He's saying if you don't return, he's saying to Hamas, if you don't return the American hostages, you're gonna have hell to pay. I mean the kid just talks frankly. He says you're gonna have hell to pay. He told Canada we're gonna hit you with tariffs. Trudeau said that's gonna really hurt the Canadian economy and he, that won't be a problem because we'll just turn you into the 51st state, which I think what he's going to do, I mean, he is, he's

going to, he's really, he's really going to get rid of some migrants. He's really going to go strong. And we're going to see, we're going to see if he starts arresting everybody. Now that he has a mandate from Biden to pardon whoever he wants, because Biden pardoned his own son after he said he wouldn't. That's the problem. I think more people would understand if he did it. The Democrats just want to sacrifice Hunter Biden. They're upset. Every Democrat, even Charlemagne the God, has weighed in with his astute political commentary and said that he's criticized Biden for doing this. People just want to throw this fucking poor crackhead

under the bus. I mean, what's the big problem with the kid? He's a crackhead. I don't mind that he got pardoned. He's not like a arms dealer or he didn't commit treason or anything like that, did he? Or was he just taking off in at Burisma for a little while? Maybe who knows? We'll find out after Trump throws his father and him back in prison. It'll be funny. It'll be like a it'll be like a back and forth. It'll be like a back and forth game where you throw three in prison, I throw four in prison. be like a back and forth. It'll be like a back and forth game, where you throw three in prison, I throw four in prison.

I don't love what's going on. But I don't care about the pardon of his son. It's his son. I would do the same thing. I'd pardon my son. But I wouldn't say I wasn't going to do it and then do it. That's the problem. But he don't care.

He's got senioritis. He's going out going, fuck you Obama for replacing me with Kamala Harris. Fuck you to the DNC leadership. Fuck you to Kamala Harris. Fuck you to Chuck Schumer. Fuck you to Nancy Pelosi. I helped Trump win by saying,

calling his people garbage and throwing out a MAGA hat because I didn't care anymore. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But, you know, the kids, the kids, the kids have been pardoned and he's just a drug addict as far as I'm concerned. But people are upset and the Democrats are upset because this could open the door for

Trump to do whatever. I mean, the kid could just be going wild. He could just be throwing out pardons left and right. Who knows? Um, but we'll get it. We're going to find out. I'm excited to see it. I'm excited to see it because I do believe in his heart. Um, he wants to be addicted. I do believe that he's all about Trump. I do believe, my assessment of the guy is he just thinks he's the cat, he's the bee's niece.

And he doesn't, he thinks he can do everything better than everyone else, and he wants to be the top, and he wants attention, and he just has that personality of a guy who doesn't want to lose doesn't want to leave But he's old so that doesn't I'm not worried about that But if he stays healthy, I do think he'll want a third term I just feel that I just feel you know, that's what he's about or He's just it was all a con because that was gonna be his play if Hillary won

He was gonna play that say the election was stolen. He was gonna do that was his strategy back then and so it's his old It's the old playbook. That's what he did when he lost the Biden Dinesh D'souza I don't know. I don't care to pronounce his name, right? He's been a conservative pumbin not cash Patel you racist Dinesh de Zoza who made the very popular amongst the what is it? What are they called? The never voters? What are they called? Never trumpers. They never know the ones who believe the election was stolen election deniers the election deniers

Dinesh D'Ozoza finally apologized for his documentary. He admitted that his documentary, 2000 Mules is based on junk information. So that was the documentary that fucking, you know, what was it? Is it Mark Twain that said a lie travels Mark Twain while the truth gets a who was it? Yeah, some smart guy With a good sense of humor said a lie travels

Before the truth gets his pants on the two lie travels. I tell you the lie traveled into my in-laws house The lie traveled to Long Island first And this is what's so funny about not having a media you trust anymore, that nobody trusts anymore. Because that's where the real problem lies. We've said it many times. And it's a very valid criticism.

That's the problem, is that this has traveled around the world and now this guy who made the documentary that everybody watched has admitted it was Bakes and he's apologized. So there you have it. The election wasn't stolen. Joe Biden did win, but who cares anymore?

The people who believe it are gonna believe it. And it's what it is. And this is just, the only way you'd know about this is if you listen to this. Who else is gonna talk about this? Who else is going to mention this? Who is that? He finally said out loud, I'm sorry. And this is a guy who doesn't like to say I'm sorry for giving any all he does. He, his whole career is owning the libs.

So what can you do? A Texas based election integrity organization called True The Vote claimed to have reviewed cell phone geotrafficking data from five battleground states that traced the movement of... yeah so whatever it was all bullshit. So it's been debunked, just like Fox News got sued because there was no credible information to report that the Dominion voting machines were fraudulent or didn't work. And so they got sued and Tucker Carlson got canned.

You wouldn't even know he got canned for that unless you listen to this. I don't see it anywhere. Everyone always says Tucker Carlson got canned because he was too fucking maverick. It's not the case. He hurt him. Reporting that, um, hurt Rupert Murdoch's pocket big time and Rupert Murdoch was like you got to go you got to go. Jesse keeps insisting that Dinesh D'Souza is Kashi Patel because they're both Indian guys. It's funny though how many conservative Indians there are Dinesh D'Souza, Kashiel, and Vivek, Vivek Ramaswamy. They're not only the conservative, they're

they're hardcore Trumpers, hardcore Trump. I mean, but Dinesh D'Souza is old school. He's he's just an own the libs guy. He's been around forever. I mean, guy's been around 30 years, whatever. He's been around so long. He's old school, dude. He's old school. And these guys are Indian immigrants. And we don't know too much about Cash Patel except that you're gonna have to put your seatbelt on and make sure your seatback is forward

and put your tray table up because there's a little turbulence with this guy He's a wild dude he's written a lot of books and he's he's promised to turn the FBI headquarters into in DC into a museum on day one and He wants to tell the 7,000 employees there to go out in the field and be cops And he wants to tell the 7,000 employees there to go out in the field and be cops So we're gonna see and this was the guy who had various positions under in the Trump administration

And he's been a pundit since then he's written books, but he's the guy who was like investigating the FBI for their Russia shit, and I think he came out with some good shit. I think he was right about a lot of stuff. So these guys could do good. Maybe there is a deep state. I don't, maybe it's, you know, you know the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Maybe it's not like kids under Comet Pizza, but maybe it's like conspirators to oust the outsider Trump with a fake dossier that the Hillary

Clinton campaign paid for. I mean we know what happened. She gets a free walk from left-wing people for that. I don't understand how she gets like a free pass for that. Her campaign paid for a phony dossier for fake intel to take down her rival. That's bad, right? Anyway, nobody cares about that anymore. Just like nobody's gonna care about Dinesh Dezoza. But what this all does mean, and I wanna, I don't know too much about James Lindsay.

I did think when he did it the first time, it was very funny. I know he's been on Rogan a couple times, and that should have been good enough to give him a cabinet position in Trump's administration. Doc, you should have laughed at that. Sorry, I was. I said he has been a guest on Rogan,

which should have been good enough to give him a cabinet position in Trump's administration. Yeah. Yeah. Cause that's basically what the cabinet is. It's all Trump guests. But he got kind of popular on the internet because he did something called the Grievance Studies Affair back when the woke mind virus was running rampant.

And it was very funny. They submitted a bunch of papers to academic journals, papers to academic journals, and they submitted them to Critical Race Theory. Remember, doesn't it seem like from another era when even you bring it up? Yeah. Yeah. It's been over for a while. Over, yeah. Yeah, because of guys like him, and I give him credit, who just made so much fun of it,

that nothing can stand in the face of sarcastic ridicule you know if it's really true if if if it being a grift is true then satire takes it down so he he got things published in these journals which were jokes right he made and that these people published thinking they were serious, one of which was an argument for men to self penetrate themselves with dildos to reduce transphobia. And this was pub-rous.

He wanted men to attend restaurants like Hooters, research on rape culture among the dogs at Portland dog parks, amongst many other funny things. So it was him and Peter Bogotian and Helen Pluckrose, and he's a mathematician. So they did this and they wrote and published articles as part of this year-long hoax campaign targeting fields like gender studies. And it was very funny and it was very embarrassing for the woke left, the progressive left. But the reason I bring him up is because what I think, and this is why I like him very much right now, is he's been going after the woke right.

So he's sort of a man after my heart because what I see is the rise of extremism. You know, we've always talked about how there's four parties and the middle is kind of been silenced by these loud, fringe extremists on both sides. And so now he did the same thing recently to the right, to the Christian right, where he tricked a Christian right-wing publication into posting excerpts from the Communist Manifesto. So it's very funny. It lets you know that extremism is a disease. Utopians are maniacs. One of my favorite movies is State of Grace with Sean Penn, one of the best mafia movies, most underrated mafia movies of all time. He's got a great line in there and he says, I thought I could come in. I thought I could arrest This guy and keep Jack out of it. He goes but it was just an idea It had nothing to do with reality like you believe in a state of grace and angels. It's just an idea

That's the difference between extremists and people Who live on the planet who are you know? basically moderate and they either lean left or lean right. And those are the people that hold everything together is that those people live on the planet and they know that ideas need to be impregnated into reality. And when they are impregnated into reality, a bunch of gray zones are born. And so that's why extremists always meet at Hate the Jews, because you can get a bunch of right-wing Christian extremists

to publish, unwittingly publish, The Communist Manifesto. You can get a bunch of left-wing extremists, faith-based extremists. They're both faith-based extremists, to publish a bunch of satirical gobbledygook about putting a dildo on your ass so you can understand trans people better. That's what happens. That's the problem with faith-based faith-based

reasoning. Faith needs to be something personal. You need to have, it's got to, it can't, you can't put it on anyone else. So that's why I bring him up. Because that's what we see.

And we're seeing that in South Korea now because this guy was like a very pro-America, pro-Japan, even though Japan and Korea have a sort of assorted history. You know, he was a very America friendly president in a lot of ways, but he's just not doing that great of a job. I think the dollar, their currency is called the won, won, W-O-N, the won, won.

And it's the lowest it's ever been compared to the dollar in value. I don't know how much that has to do with what's going on now, probably a lot, but he's just got a 17 been compared to the dollar in value. I don't know how much that has to do with what's going on now, probably a lot, but he's just got a 17% approval rating. And so this kid was paranoid that he was going to get impeached. So that's what I'm taking from the story is he just preemptively created martial law to try to take control of everything. And it backfired, it doesn't look like it's working. There's too much protest against him. He's too unpopular. The kid doesn't want to be

impeached. I don't know what happens to people get impeached. Maybe they get life in prison. Maybe they get killed. I don't know what happens over there. I'm not paying attention to anything besides Samsung. That's all I know. I'm paying more attention in North Korea than I am South because I thought things were fine and the negativity bias makes your brain pay attention to the bad. So I'm praying attention to fat King Jung-un. I got no idea about Kim Yoon-chun, I got no idea about him and his wife. I don't know. I pay attention to the bad like the media does. Like we all do because it's a negativity bias in the brain, right? So I don't know maybe he's scared to get

impeached because like in Vietnam they will put you to death. They will put you to death. In communist Vietnam, which I know now has done a little bit of that sort of hybrid economy, right? And opened up their factories to Nike and their economy's done a lot better. So they've allowed some business to flourish, right? Can we look that up? Just go to chat GBT to make your life easier. I don't know what the economy is currently in Vietnam, but there is a woman there and again you're never gonna, you're not gonna hear this story unless you listen here. I tell you what's going on in the world that's important. I bring it down to the soil. This is a very big story. She's a woman first off. She's a woman. Which lets you know that Eve did eat the apple. They do have

smaller brains and they are demonic. Okay. You always think men can be evil and all these feminists are like, what would the world be if there was no men? Well, what about this bitch? What about her? This bitch right here. What did she do? She fucking basically stole 6% of the GDP of Vietnam from people. And she's been sentenced to death for a white collar crime, which I think it's always crazy

that the white collar criminals in America get such slaps on the wrist. But if you like steal a candy bar, you do like hard time. You know? You know what I mean. Not a candy bar. But you know, you rob a gas station, smoke some weed, you rob a gas station, you get

hard time. Although that's violent and it's bad. But these white collar criminals do so much damage. I mean the monetary value of their damage is so much higher. Like this bitch. So she's fighting for a life and she's got to pay back three-fourths of the money and she don't have it because she stole it because she was running a goddamn fraud Ponzi scheme with her family, her niece, her husband, who's a Hong Kong businessman. And she's got to pay back 75% of what she took.

And if she does, her sentence will be commuted to life. They don't fuck around over there. She's admitted it, she's embarrassed by it, she got caught. So what they found was that that although she was a minority shareholder or something, so I'm sure they've got some capitalists, they have a mixed economy over there at some level, we will look that up afterwards so we're accurate with you, but she controlled,

she secretly controlled, like although she was a minority shareholder, don't hold me to that, but something like that, she secretly controlled Saigon Commercial Bank, which is the country's fifth largest lender, and she was taking out loans and cash over more than 10 years through a well of shell companies that she secretly owned through relatives, friends, whatever, accounting for a total of, get this, is this like, compared to Bernie Madoff, is this bigger?

44 billion? I would think it is. It's pretty big. Yeah, and we're so ethnocentric, all we care about is Bernie, but this is a huge story. $44 billion. I appeal to people whose mind goes beyond I appeal to people who whose mind goes beyond the coasts of California and New York across the oceans to other lands give this bitch some fucking credit dog

she broke the gender barrier oh no okay close though. Well, this is the funny thing about billions. It's close, but not close. If it was $20, if it was, what was hers, $44? Hers was $44 billion. If it was $44 and $65, you'd say close. $65 billion and $44 or $45 billion, there's a billion in between each one of those 20 difference. So, but for a woman, you know, for a woman, that's, you got to put the

gender in there with the smaller brain. That's, that's equal. That's equal. I would say they're equally as big. Plus he stole that in America where people got a lot more money. She stole this from Vietnam Sam Bankman Fried only did a fucking measly eight a Measly eight billion and he's gonna be more this bitch deserves the credit I am giving her the do that she deserves this 69 year old Vietnam Love you long time

Love you long time. I love you long time pop that pussy, baby She stole 45 billion from people 44 billion which is a 34.34 point of 44 billion in whatever her currency is I guess right or no is that 44 billion dollars 44 billion in whatever her currency is I guess right or no is that 44 billion dollars This looks like euros. Yeah, 34 5 billion euros. So the euro and the dollar it's a little more the dollar, right? I think the euro is a little higher. Is the euro a little higher? All right She stole a bunch of fucking Billy. She did so she's more than Sam Bankman freed. She deserves a lot

Who cares It's dollars so she stole dollars, so she stole, okay, so she did steal 44 billion. Give her her credit, give her her credit. If she's not Jordan, she's LeBron. If she's not LeBron, she's Kobe. Has anyone else stolen, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure. Who's stolen the most?

Let's put her on a fucking timetable. I mean, on a goat list. She should be on a goat list. As a woman, nine of the biggest fraud cases in recent history. Okay, Bernie Madoff is at the top. So you know she's somewhere in there, if he's at the top with 65.

She's somewhere in there. She, they haven't even updated the list yet. Who's the second? Health South. How much did they steal? Company yeah. Yeah. That's it only 1.4 that's nothing. Okay dog yeah it's chump change. Chump change. Munich Germany chump change. Chump change. This is this is a big story. Oh look at that Ivan Boesky. How much did he get? How much did he get here? You also have to do it when it was done. Oh Inflation the terror. Oh, he got 200 million chump change chump change. It's not bad Yeah, but chump change come forward talking 45 billion dollars. Oh and Ron and Ron was huge and right how much did they get?

How much did they get? How much did Enron get? Yeah, I mean, you could look he's above I am Boski, it's going to be like 900 million, a billion, something like that. Nothing's gonna top she may go number two, she might be number two, she might be number two. She might be number two. What? Look at that 11.2 billion still FTX. FTX, there you go. Yeah, nothing, nothing. This chick did it by herself, like Bernie.

She had help, but I mean, it was really her who was the ringleader. Unbelievable. She deserves people to know her name. Her name is Trong Mai Ngan. Trong Mai Lan. Give her credit. She needs to return nine billion.

Three quarters of the 12 billion she embezzled. So give her credit. There she is. Is it, was it worth it? Was it worth it? Okay, here we go. She started as a market stall vendor selling cosmetics with her mother.

Give her credit. She always had an eye for crime. Some people are just born with it. Some people just love. They just can't help themselves. They're wired that way, right? Psyches are very complicated things. She didn't learn to love this.

She always loved it. She could have stopped. And that's what you said. That's why you know it's love for the game. When you get to this level, Bernie level, it's love for the game. Cause if you did it for the money, you'd go, all right, I'm gonna stop at four bill

and I'm gonna, I'm gonna bezel. I'm gonna fucking launder and get out and just like boom. And then I'm gonna embezzle, I'm gonna fucking launder and get out and just like boom. And then I'm out. But it's the love of the game. Once you start, you're like, this is too fun. What more can I get away with? They also own like tons of real estate.

They own like luxury properties. They own a shopping mall. She was the chairwoman of this prominent real estate firm there. So the Communist Party secretary general in Vietnam has started cracking down on corruption with businessmen in a movement that's been called Blazing Furnaces, where he's been going after.

And there's 85 defendants along with her. Four were sentenced to jail, while her husband got like seven years, and her niece got like 20 or whatever, 20 years. They've been, whatever. They've gotten, they're going after her, because she was the brains behind the operation. So she's gotta come up with money.

She's asking relatives for loans, and I bet you all those people are just going, sorry, why am I gonna give you the loan? You're going to, she's actually asking friends and families for loans to help get this back to save her life, and they're going like, what? When I was helping you steal, there was something in it for me.

Now you want me to just give money to give back to the state for you to save your life? I mean, I don't know, there's no honor amongst thieves. How do you say that in Vietnamese? Yeah, that did rhyme. They're not going to give it to her. They're not going to be able to come up with nine Billy. You can't just make a phone call and come up with nine Billy. It's lights out.

It's lights out. The state has identified more than a thousand different assets linked to the fraud. These have been frozen. The BBC understands the tycoon has also reached out to friends, like I said, to raise loans. The BBC understands the tycoon has also reached out to friends, like I said, to raise loans. The BBC understands the tycoon has also reached out to friends, like I said, to raise loans. The BBC understands the tycoon has also reached out to friends, like I said, to raise loans.. BBC understands the tycoon has also reached out to friends, like I said, to raise loans for her to help reach her target

to save her life. It's not gonna happen, but you know, she'll die with honor. One thing about the Eastern Hemis is they go with honor. She knows she disgraced her nation. And she will go with honor with her head head high like Saddam Hussein Will she be killed should be shot to death by firing squad and rice paddy Or they'll just let her walk out onto the fields where there's still landmines from the Vietnam War and Just let her take her chances, hunger game style,

for entertainment, for the entertainment of the Vietnamese people. So can we find out about their economy just so we can edify our viewers on what the economy is, and edify me on what the economy is? We do know that there's factories there. We do know that Nike and a lot of companies are making shoes there. We do know that it has helped their economy quite a bit by

opening it up, just like Russia did just like China does. So we just want to know to the level of what the mixed economy is, So we just want to know to the level of what the mixed economy is, you know, what is it? No, present economy of dynamic and growing mixed market economy. Yeah. It's rapid transformation. Not working, but it's right here. Oh, okay. So you Mike's broke. Yes. Yeah. So it is we were right as we knew we're always right here It's a rapidly growing economy. It's a mixed economy Driven by industrialization trade and a growing middle class. I wonder how that happened Socialists don't like to hear that they don't like to hear that

Manufacturing of course a lot of American companies has become a global manufacturing hub. They're making stuff there, electronics, textiles, garments, and footwear, your Nikes. Companies like Samsung, Intel, and Nike, like I said, have significant operations in Vietnam. Tourism, finance, everything when they opened up blossomed. It's becoming a tech hub for IT services, exports,

electronics, smartphones, garments, seafood. They trade with the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union. All the G7s, baby! When did they open up? It was the doing yeah renovation policy in 1986 where they transition from a centrally planned economy to a socialist orientated market economy. So they're fucking basically Sweden, right? I mean can't you just admit it? You're basically Sweden. King

Z, he's this fucking communist at heart, and so is Putin. They're these fucking old school guys. Just admit you're Sweden. Just admit you're not a fucking communist. Why do they still keep the communist name? That's like meeting a fucking Muslim who eats pork and who wants to talk to me about his piety. You're officially sinning, or a Jew who fucks Goyum. You're not doing what you're supposed to do. That's essentially what these commies are. They're fucking Swedish capitalists. Am I wrong at all?

Isn't it funny that he still fancies himself a communist kingzy, and they still have the fucking CCP party, but they have like Jack Ma over there. I mean, granted, they gave him a talking to and they have full control over everything, but that isn't really communist in economic theory. That's authoritarian. I mean, it's communist in the sense that they probably, they probably trim the top.

They give every company a nice, handsome haircut, but that's socialist, right? And then the methods are sort of authoritarian. But you can't be a communist country if you're not completely the people own the modes of production and there's no private companies and profit and all that bullshit, right? The end goal for communism is that the state dissolves.

There's a way, not that the state is the strongest thing. Right. Right. So just shut, just go away communists. Are there any still pure communists left? These people, it's just, it's all lip service bullshit. I mean, Vietnam is not a communist state. All those people died for nothing.

And our boys died for something, defending freedom and democracy and our right to consume and litter the third world with toxic waste chemicals. That's another problem of capitalism, is capitalism does not prepare for end of life for profit for products, for electronics for clothes. The problem with capitalism is everyone passes the buck of responsibility and nobody plans for sustainability. It's

all about production and consumption and short-term bottom lines. So they're both extreme, but obviously capitalism is the more functioning of the two and works hand in hand with freedom and democracy better. You know, you're free to create a company, it's more free. You're free to hire, free to sell. But capitalism does have to do a better job of integrating

environmentalism socialism all these things that temper it Because our waste problem is bad. I mean dude when you throw something away It's you know All the plastic all the sneakers all the clothes all the clothes now are Created to just last like three wash cycles because they want you to keep buying the iPhones They make it so you can't change the battery out. You know, they know what they're doing. It's all for short term profits, but like this shit has to get thrown out in fucking Angola or wherever.

And then it ends up in the water and then it ends up in the salmon and then you eat the salmon and we all die of cancer just so you can get an extra 15 bucks. It's called planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence, right? Yeah, where they just plan to destruct. Yeah, every printer just stops working after a year and you're just like, and then you go and you get like, it's gotta be the ink cartridges. You go get the ink cartridges. That shit was set to self-destruct. Yeah, look at that. They're still calling themselves communists in China, but it's a mix of state-owned enterprises

and a large private sector. But it's now under much more strict... So they're the most communist. Probably Vietnam's not even as communist as they are anymore. North Korea is purely communist. That's just authoritarian. Do they have any private shit there? It's all government. Yeah, so that's purely communist.

But yeah, the state's supposed to wither away. That doesn't happen. But I think there you could say they're probably the most communist in the world, right? Let's ask our good friend, Chad GPT, is North Korea the most communist the most communist state in the world. It's an opinion, it's a little bit of an opinion. Yes, one of the most rigidly authoritative state control societies. It describes itself as a socialist state, it's economic and political system, all associated with communist states,

there's the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it probably is. Cuba retains a centralized economy, but has introduced limited reforms and is less militaristic. But North Korea retains structural features of a communist state, unique blend of ideology, dynastic rule, and militarization sets itself apart from classical or other contemporary communist systems. It could be argued that it is the most purely state-controlled society in existence,

but diverges from some core communist ideals. They all do, they all do. The best thing I've heard on communism, great idea, wrong species. It's a good idea on paper. Right. Just the wrong species. Wrong species for that.

Right. It would be a great idea for ants or. Yeah, ants. Or bees. Bees. Anything that works in the hive, might like that. Right, right. Great idea, wrong species. I forgot who said it,

but it perfectly sums up communism. Yeah, but your mic doesn't work. Oh, now it works now? Yeah, okay. Well, the WPK is the Workers' Party of Korea and it's the only party. So that's what it is. So Biden party is on South Korea.

Hopefully it's back to normal by the time you hear this and we're getting ready for a reality show that will be starting as soon as our buddy Donald Trump takes office. It's either gonna be fine or a disaster. That's what I think. It's either gonna be fine or a disaster. We'll see. I don't think it's gonna be amazing like a lot of you know. We'll see. I don't think it's gonna be amazing. Like a lot of MAGA people think, I don't think it's gonna be amazing. Because he's too wild.

He's already fucking with China, right? Well, how would you rate the first four years? First years were fine. It was a continuation of fineness. Of Trump's first term. Yeah, but here's the thing most people don't know. Trump's numbers of deportations, let's be honest, most people are about the border and the economy, right?

They don't give a shit about the Ukraine. They just, they talk, they don't even understand how those loans work, right? A lot of those loans are just fuckin' come out of thin air. They get paid back and basically we're giving those, that money to basically fucking own Ukraine. The same way China does with all the ports it builds. If things work out in Ukraine, they're our bitch,

which is great in a lot of people's eyes, powerful people's eyes. But that shit's not coming out of our pocket necessarily, is it? Is it? Where you think it's coming from? Okay, I'm wrong. Okay, then I'm wrong.

Who's paying for it? I thought it was these loan type things. Does the money to Ukraine come from taxpayer dollars? We're gonna get a verdict on this right now. And I'm gonna have to apologize like Dinesh D'Souza. a verdict on this right now and I'm gonna have to apologize like Dinesh D'Souza. Okay, it's funded by taxpayer dollars. I would like to apologize. Okay, yeah, it's what it is. It's what it is. Income corporate taxes payroll taxes and other source. That's not good

Some 80 structures loans or drawdowns from existing stockpiles with provisions Okay, okay Okay, so yeah, that's not great. I don't want to pay for all that shit I don't fucking pay for that shit 50% of your salary let's go Trump yeah let's go Trump let's go Trump yeah it is so yeah that's fucking bad or like I don't know but it's bad out of my pocket I wanted to come out of somebody else's pocket. Yeah, come out of his fucking pocket. Yeah, that's right. So maybe it'll be great.

But what I was about to say is a lot of people don't know this, some people do. But Trump's deportations, you're talking about so much lower than Obama's. Oh, he was the top dog Obama, right? Dude, it's so much. It's, I looked at the number, Obama deportations compared to Trump numbers. It was so much higher, dude.

That's why they called him the deporter in chief. And, uh, yeah, I just, the, the, the, the Trump, the Trump I think the rich people really liked it You know, he didn't build a wall. Oh My god significantly more dude Obama deported five point three million people His first term saw three point two million deportations. Whoa, his second term, 2.1.

That's what got him to nickname the Deporter-in-Chief. Trump deported around 2 million, so he deported over 3 million more illegals. So the border, it was, it was a continuation of, of being tough on the border. And the economy continued to be pretty good. And it's what it is. So I view his first one as fine. Like, yeah, I mean, there was nothing wrong. You know, everything was pretty chill. The economy was good. Rich people made a lot more money. Things happened.

He did some good stuff, but I suspect that him fucking his trade war with China might've unleashed the China virus. Whoa, duck. So I hope he knows how to just be a little diplomatic and treat them like the power that they are. And don't fuck too hard with their money. That's all I'm saying. You want to cuck out a little bit with the Chinese. You can't we can't dominate the

Chinese, we have to share the world with the Chinese. This whole American arrogance that they're not this fucking, that they're a paper tiger is just not true. You know? There, you need to, we need to work with them. We need to trade with them. We got to figure it out. We can't just tariff them to death. You don't want to fucking put their backs up against the wall. You want to keep appeasing this Taiwan situation by talking nice, but also bolstering Taiwan, or just make all the chips here and give them fucking Taiwan, or make a deal. And maybe the only person that can make a deal

is fucking orange man good. Who knows? I don't know. And this is all opinion. Maybe it'll be great. I don't think it'll be great because what fucking president was great? The ones that seemed to be great. I don't think it'll be great because what fucking president was great The ones that seem to be great with me were the ones that turned it around

Lincoln FDR right although he's under attack now, right Social Security's a big Ponzi scheme people are saying maybe it is I don't know enough about it There's an argument to be made I guess But the country was in trouble and he definitely fucking saved it, right? Maybe long term it was no good, and social security, you know those things are bad, but at the time he got everything functioning again, that's why he was so popular. You gotta say, a lot of people don't give, people don't say this enough. Whatever you think about Obama and what he did for your pocket, or what he did for the gays, or he let trans people run wild wild or that he was just black and you hated

that whatever it is you got to say the economy was fucked the biggest fuck since it's been since 20 fucking nine during the Bush yes the worst and foreign policy was a disaster by far the and he came in and turned it around in eight years and handed it off turned it around in eight years and handed it off and it was in a lot better shape. So that's how you really measure a lot of the presidents. There was fucking Lincoln, Civil War, and then he- People love Reagan.

Reagan, he came in. People love Reagan. Well, because big Cold War. He came and turned it around. He got the wall down. Perry Ostroka, he forced that with Russia. He ended the Cold War, man. So guys who do big things like that, you know, are considered great.
