1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I have updates on everything.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Okay people, let's begin.
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:25,000
We have liftoff! Get up everybody!
4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Are you ready to be baited?
5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
With the truth?
6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Good, because you're listening to the Truth Day Podcast.
7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I'm documentary filmmaker and podcaster Andrew Marcus.
8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Flying solo today as we deconstruct the propaganda war being waged against the American people.
9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let's get to the truth.
10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Gonna let that music run out. Yeah, there you go.
11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Thank you everybody for tuning in.
12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Special episode. This is episode 50.
13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000
50 episodes and unfortunately my partner in narrowcasting, Jeremy, is not with us.
14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So we're going to put off celebrating episode 50 until he is able to join us.
15
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
And in fact we won't celebrate episode 50.
16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We'll celebrate having reached 50 episodes when Jeremy is able to join us.
17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
But this is a special episode because it is 50.
18
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
It's pretty amazing getting to 50. Hopefully we'll get to 100. We'll see what happens.
19
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Share the show. Please share the show. That's how we grow.
20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And go to iTunes or wherever you're listening to leave a rating.
21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Five stars. That's what this show deserves, of course. Five stars. Anything less is inappropriate.
22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And leave a comment. I know on iTunes, yeah, if you go to the show page, you scroll all the way down to the bottom,
23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
you'll be able to see where then they have a section where you can leave the star rating and a comment.
24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
We always love and appreciate that. Today I have a ton of updates.
25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It seems like all the stories we've been covering have important updates worthy of covering.
26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I have, of course, I have a China update. I have an election update. I have a Hawaii update.
27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I have, wow, what else do I have? I have a Ford update.
28
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
You know, we've talked about the electric cars in the past.
29
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Ford is seriously faltering in that department. And I have Snow White.
30
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
That's not an update, but Snow White is on the radar. So what should we start with today?
31
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Why don't we start with, well, let's go, let's go with, let's start with the election.
32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
OK, and we're not going to spend a ton of time in this.
33
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
We've spent the entire, most of the previous episode, thankfully,
34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Jeremy was able to join in on interviewing the always brilliant
35
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Professor William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, LegalInsurrection.com.
36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And he gave us a, I thought was a really interesting analysis of the most recent indictment in Georgia.
37
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And I just wanted to play. This is a reaction that is making the rounds on Twitter.
38
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I think that it was probably originally posted to TikTok.
39
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It's a gentleman who lives in Fulton County, Georgia,
40
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
which is where Trump and 18 others associated with him are being indicted on RICO charges.
41
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
So here's this reaction. It's pretty interesting.
42
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
The last 14 years, I've called Georgia home. I have my business here, got married here.
43
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000
My daughter was born in Fulton County. I've been all over the world and most major US cities.
44
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
If I could live anywhere, I would stay right here in Georgia.
45
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
To me, Georgia is the best place in the world where people still say yes, ma'am.
46
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And thank you, sir. Where even the liberals go to church on Sundays.
47
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
And to see the establishment drama brought to my doorsteps,
48
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
the globalist socialist chaos brought to our community.
49
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Last night when I watched the Fulton County DA smirk while she indicted former president Donald Trump
50
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
along 18 others on RICO charges like they are part of the Sopranos, I'm not going to lie.
51
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I was pretty pissed. And then I read all 96 pages of the indictments.
52
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
There is nothing in there to get anyone.
53
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
The DA specifically said that the overt acts listed are not illegal on their own.
54
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But because there are enough of them, they can be charged as a criminal enterprise.
55
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
What do these overt acts include?
56
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Questioning the outcome of the 2020 election for making false statements about the integrity of the election in other states,
57
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
for asking for email addresses of public officials and sending emails,
58
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
for hiring forensic data teams to review election results,
59
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
for requesting hearings to challenge the results,
60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
for unnamed people sending emails,
61
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
and most importantly, mean tweets.
62
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
This trial goes nowhere. And they know it.
63
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
So why all the drama? And why was I so upset?
64
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's not because of the charges. The charges are b******.
65
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It's because I could see their plan. And I could feel it working.
66
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,000
You got to see the big picture. The play is always geopolitics. Always control.
67
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
The globalist socialist establishment has already conquered LA, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago.
68
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Where are the Trump indictments? They're trying to take New York, Virginia, Miami, and now Atlanta.
69
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Notice they are not indicting him in areas they've already won.
70
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
It's a squeeze play. Can you see the map?
71
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
The point of these indictments is not to prevent Trump from running for president.
72
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Of all the indictments and charges, none of them can prevent him from running.
73
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
It's not even about preventing him from winning.
74
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
They see that the poll numbers jump every time an indictment is announced.
75
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
If they truly believed that Trump was plotting to overthrow the US government,
76
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
they would focus all of their energy, resources, and personnel on one case,
77
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
and try to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
You don't indict in multiple states with multiple charges with multiple teams of lawyers.
79
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
You don't spray and pray.
80
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The sole point of the indictments is to divide this country.
81
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
To keep us occupied fighting each other.
82
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Republican vs. Democrat. Man vs. Woman.
83
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Black vs. White vs. Brown vs. Yellow.
84
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Poor vs. Less Poor.
85
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Don't get distracted. It's not us vs. each other. It's us vs. them.
86
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
They're not trying to save democracy. They're trying to crush it.
87
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
If you're watching from Georgia, if you are my neighbor, beware.
88
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Look at what they've done in other cities, other states. Homelessness, drugs, and violence.
89
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Burning it all down so they can build it back up and gain control.
90
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
The talking head propagandist will surely plaster the news cycle.
91
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This time, we got him.
92
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
What they really mean is, this time, we got you.
93
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Amen, brother. That is, I think, spot on.
94
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
I think he makes the exact right points.
95
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And what he's talking about, how this is really designed to inflame,
96
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
that got me thinking in terms of, you remember, just before the indictment dropped,
97
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
it was leaked online.
98
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And the clerk of the court accidentally hit enter instead of, do not enter, I don't know why, I don't know what.
99
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Accidentally posted it online, allegedly.
100
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Yeah.
101
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Unless there is a pattern of accidentally releasing indictments online before they are handed down from the grand jury,
102
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,000
which is what happened in this case, then when you look at it through this context of the previous clip,
103
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:45,000
I think that it's possible that it was released like that intentionally so that it would create the chaos.
104
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And then when they released the actual indictment and accidentally had the grand jury members' names
105
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
and other personal information on the filing,
106
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
to me, they're trying to incite violence.
107
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
They're trying to incite threats of violence, at the very least.
108
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:18,000
They want the narrative of threats of violence being aimed at these jurors, the members of the grand jury.
109
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And leaking their names does that.
110
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
So I think this guy's right. I think this is all an op.
111
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
This is just a play for chaos and division.
112
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And it's working.
113
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Here I have a clip from Ted Cruz that's making the rounds where he basically is saying,
114
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000
look, you know, yeah, they're doing all this lawfare to destroy the GOP and destroy the country, destroy the Constitution.
115
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
But really, we shouldn't stoop to their level.
116
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I understand the sentiment of, damn it, if these are going to weaponize the justice system and try to lock up Republicans for running against them,
117
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
we ought to weaponize the justice system and lock up Democrats for being Democrats.
118
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I understand that. That's a very human reaction.
119
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
I don't agree with it. I don't agree with abusing law enforcement, whether it is for my team or the other team.
120
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Yeah, I love Ted. He's great, smart guy. I think he's wrong on this.
121
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And this is Sean Davis responding. This is all taking place on Fox News.
122
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, I love Ted. He's great, smart guy. I think he's wrong on this.
123
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And I think the thing that he and others should look at is the Cold War.
124
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000
How did the U.S. win the Cold War against an evil empire? They had nukes. We had nukes. We were worried about them nuking us.
125
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
We used a policy called mutually assured destruction that said if you so much as even think about launching something against us,
126
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
we will nuke you in your entire country and if we all go down, so be it.
127
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And it was that doctrine, that fear that was instilled in both sides that, hey, we better watch it or we're both going to get nuked,
128
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
that actually led to something of a detente and then the eventual fall of the Soviet empire.
129
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
You've got to do the same thing here. You can't tie your hands behind your back,
130
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
let them punch you in the face and throw you in prison and say, well, you know, I could respond, but that would be icky and it wouldn't make me feel good.
131
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
You're either interested in winning as a politician and putting points on the board or you're a loser.
132
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And for too long, Republicans have been content to be losers. They're happy to beat the spread, but they don't really want to win.
133
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And I think the time for that kind of stuff is over.
134
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
That is right. And you can thank Donald Trump for ending that, for bringing an end to that era. That's amazing.
135
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000
He is the publisher of The Federalist and the editor of The Federalist.
136
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Let's see, they had his title up here. CEO and co-founder of The Federalist.
137
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So The Federalist basically understands now that there is a, I love the way that he frames it, it's a cold war.
138
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
He didn't say that, but he's talking about mutually assured destruction.
139
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
That is a cold war element, a pillar of the cold war.
140
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And he's describing the relationship between the left and the right in this country as that cold war.
141
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Although I think he's mistaken. I don't think this is Democrat versus Republican.
142
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
This is establishment versus everybody else.
143
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:41,000
And let's switch gears, we're still in the election update, but I received an email from Al and Joliet
144
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:52,000
bringing my attention to Vivek Ramaswamy's Ten Commandments for the 24 election.
145
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
So he put out this list here, this Vivek's.
146
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Oh, and I couldn't find any media on it at all. There was an article and that was what Al sent to me.
147
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
But I can either read an article or I can try and find a clip.
148
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,000
And I found this clip. This is from Watchdog on Wall Street.
149
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Watchdog on Wall Street.com.
150
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Watchdog on Wall Street.com.
151
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And here he lists the Ten Commandments.
152
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
So he put out this list here, this Vivek's Ten Commandments 2024 election.
153
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Number one, God is real.
154
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Number two, there are two genders.
155
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Number three, human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
156
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Number four, reverse racism is racism.
157
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Number five, an open border is no border.
158
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Number six, parents determine the education of their children.
159
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Number seven, the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
160
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Number eight, capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
161
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Number nine, there are three branches of the US government, not four.
162
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:09,000
And number 10, the US Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.
163
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Hard to disagree with any of that.
164
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I am curious what our producers feel about Vivek rewriting the Ten Commandments.
165
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Is that okay? Is that not okay?
166
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
If it is okay, what do we think of this as a campaign tactic? Is it going to help him?
167
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
We're talking about it? I don't know. Kind of interesting.
168
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,000
He's doing a lot of interesting stuff, although I still think he works for, I think he's a plant of Donald Trump's.
169
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I think he's Donald Trump's guy.
170
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Okay, let's go to Hawaii, where it is just a continuing disaster unfolding painfully in slow motion.
171
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Here is the director of, what is this guy?
172
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000
He is Maui Emergency Services Head.
173
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Here he is responding to a question about why didn't the emergency sirens go off to warn people that there was impending danger?
174
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
175
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I do not. And the reason why...
176
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:39,000
I do not. Could he possibly have given a worse answer?
177
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:49,000
His reasoning, in a way, makes a little bit of sense, but who would know and who would care after he answers the question that way?
178
00:15:49,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And what unfolds in the room is very interesting in this clip. There is somebody standing behind the guy who is at the podium, and he's in a red shirt, he's got a black coat on, and he is a big dude.
179
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000
And he's like a tough guy. He looks like a tough guy in the room. And when this starts to go back and forth and get a little contentious, he becomes the tough guy in the room.
180
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
That's the voice you're going to hear interject itself.
181
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
182
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I do not. And the reason why...
183
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So many people said they could have been saved if they had time to escape. Had a siren gone off, they would have known that there was a crisis emerging. And as we know, so many bodies were found in the ground as the flames flung.
184
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Do you want him to give you the answer?
185
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I do, but I want to...
186
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Let him finish his answer.
187
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I'm sorry, there's a lot of people...
188
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Well, you're talking and you're not letting him talk. If you want to talk, come up here.
189
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I'm ready for the answer.
190
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Then wait.
191
00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:01,000
The sirens, as I had mentioned earlier, is used primarily for tsunamis. And that's the reason why many of them are found, almost all of them are found, on the coastline.
192
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:11,000
The public is trained to seek higher ground in the event that the siren is sounded. In fact, on the website of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the fireman guideline is provided.
193
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000
If you are in a low-lying area near the coastline, evacuate to high grounds.
194
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,000
So, okay, I mean, his explanation makes a little bit of sense, but who would know and who would care after the first answer?
195
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
196
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I do not.
197
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
He does not. He has no regret at all.
198
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:43,000
It's just the wrong answer. Even if you feel like not sounding the alarm was the right thing, it's the wrong answer in that moment.
199
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:54,000
He needs some help from a crisis management expert, which he's not going to get because Maui Emergency Services head resigns as more disturbing details emerge about problematic response.
200
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
That was just hours after that sound bite he resigned.
201
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Yeah, I guess I wouldn't. How would I know whether or not they should have sounded the alarms or not have sounded the alarms?
202
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
He even made it sound like there was some wiggle room that it's normally used for tsunamis.
203
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:28,000
But does that mean it's not always used for tsunamis? I have not looked at their guidelines, so I don't know exactly what they are, but just thought that was...
204
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:39,000
They're really in good hands there in Hawaii. If I were everywhere else in Hawaii, I'd feel really, really safe right now.
205
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:48,000
And it gets even more interesting than that. You know I've been very suspicious about the narratives that have been given to us.
206
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:56,000
First, it was just this wildfire because to me, again, I didn't like the idea that this implied that this was just sort of a naturally occurring event.
207
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Now, there's a lot of media reports that are catching up because I had played it early on that the reports about downed electrical lines and that the lines were still live.
208
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And I made the point that there were reports of children being sent home from school because they were so concerned about the effects of the hurricane and the wind.
209
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So they sent the kids home, but apparently this was not enough of a concern to take the power off of these lines even though there were dry conditions.
210
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And look, intentional, not intentional, who in the world knows at this point, but certainly at the very least the most charitable thing you can say is just uncoordinated malfeasance.
211
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:57,000
But there may be reasons to think that this is not just some innocent thing that's going on here.
212
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
This is a clip that I have from YouTube and I think he identifies himself in the beginning.
213
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Dave Hodges here, host of the Common Sense Show.
214
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Dave Hodges, host of the Common Sense Show on YouTube. Dave Hodges, Common Sense Show.
215
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
There's some things that really bothered me about Maui. I'm not alleging any funny business.
216
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I just want to say the day that this happened, this greatly assisted China.
217
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Maui is the eyes and ears of the nation.
218
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Let me just go through a few things here.
219
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:39,000
The most sophisticated high performance computers are in Maui and they're geared and run a lot of our national defense through AI.
220
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Was that destroyed? We'll never know. They won't tell us.
221
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
The Space Force is headquartered in Maui.
222
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
The Space Force is really about the only advantage we have over China.
223
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Maybe the submarines, but the Space Force definitely.
224
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Was it damaged? We don't know.
225
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Maui space surveillance can track anything that moves on the planet, in the air, on the ground, and underwater.
226
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Was that damaged? We don't know.
227
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Our directed energy weapons are housed in Maui.
228
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Office of Deep Tracking Space. Again, that gets back to tracking asteroids.
229
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:28,000
If Maui is negated, because of its eyes and ears capability, the West Coast is vulnerable to invasion.
230
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Wow.
231
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
You know what? I didn't know most of that.
232
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I went and looked up the Space Forces right there in Maui.
233
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Maui is where our military AI is located.
234
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I don't have confirmation of that.
235
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Then he has this as well. Who knows whether or not that's the case in terms of China.
236
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
China did it, and all this benefits China.
237
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Or this was just complete malfeasance, and all of it benefits China.
238
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
All of this benefits other people as well, as he goes on to say.
239
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:29,000
I went to the State of Hawaii website, and I wanted to see what the status was with zoning and projects.
240
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Oh boy. They want to turn Maui into a 15-minute city.
241
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:45,000
It's really clear from the organization structure. They don't say that in writing, but I recognize it from the Tucson plan, the Cleveland plan that I've seen.
242
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:53,000
They want to turn Maui into a 15-minute city, and they want huge developers in there, and they already have them slotted in.
243
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,000
I saw this map where they had a color-coded map. Can't do here because you're right on the beach.
244
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Can't build here because that's Lahaina.
245
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Then everything around Lahaina and down to near the beach, all developers.
246
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But it's worse. Here comes the governor again.
247
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
He took away the State Development Council.
248
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:33,000
They're basically a business alliance group from the state government that was designed to keep out-of-Hawaii investors out of Maui.
249
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
He canceled that earlier this year.
250
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
How many coincidences are you going to buy?
251
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Oh, but we're not done. Bezos has offered $100 million to West Maui to build a smart city.
252
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Hello, 15-minute city. It's exactly what this is.
253
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Well, okay. Disconcerting. I'm not suggesting that they burned the good people of Maui off the island so that they could turn it into a 15-minute city.
254
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:26,000
It's just possible that people are just waiting, chomping at the bit to take advantage and profit off of the misery, as Rahm Emanuel once said,
255
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
never letting a good crisis go to waste.
256
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:45,000
It is interesting, though, I think that one thing that we should maybe consider is that with all of the incredibly sensitive military installations on Maui and elsewhere, come to think of it.
257
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Is it possible maybe that as we're heading into this Cold War with China, we really just wanted to have a greater zone of protection around these military installations,
258
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:08,000
and we just burned a whole bunch of people off the island, literally, so that there just wouldn't be any population there.
259
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000
It grants them a little bit more solitude, a little more protection from spies.
260
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
I don't know. Hey, I'm just asking questions.
261
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:34,000
What is Adam Curry of No Agenda? He says he's a conspiracy therapist. I think that's the role I'm playing here today as well.
262
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Yeah, in China, they mocked Biden for his response to Maui.
263
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
And let's see, this was on Breitbart. Again, this came in through Big Al and Juliet.
264
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
China mocks Biden's inability to handle Hawaii fires.
265
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Chinese state media this week gleefully mocked President Joe Biden for bungling the response to Hawaii's wildfires.
266
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Now, that's very interesting if you take into account, you remember just a few episodes ago, we were talking about the massive flooding that's happening in China.
267
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Beijing was completely underwater. It was the worst flooding natural disaster in China's history.
268
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And it's thought could have potentially toppled the Xi government and maybe still might play a role, but they have completely bungled the...
269
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Well, it's not bungled. They're true to form. Basically, everybody's being left to fend for themselves, which from what I hear is also happening in Maui.
270
00:26:43,000 --> 00:27:01,000
So not much difference, but China's just no one to talk on that level. And I'm sure that they're really only mocking the US response to Maui so that they can put the focus there as opposed to on China.
271
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:14,000
But China... Here, we have a China update. Let's do...
272
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Oh, what happened? I had China music ready and it's not playing. I don't have it. I'm going to have to bring it to you in the next episode.
273
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Anyway, imagine some music as you're walking into... Oh, wait here. Is it there? Yes! There you go. It's the China update.
274
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:57,000
There you go. I exited out of the song just as it was getting really exciting. So China has a raft of problems, some of which are going to sound eerily familiar to what we're experiencing.
275
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:16,000
But apparently they are headlong into deflation and to help explain deflation and what is happening there, we turn to our reliable YouTube friends at China Fact Chasers on YouTube.
276
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:27,000
I'm not going to go buy a car. Are you going to go buy a car if you're thinking that the future economy in the next five years is probably not going to do very well? No.
277
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I mean, like, it's the thing is, you don't know if you're going to have a job, you don't know if you're going to have the money. Like, I wouldn't go buy a house. If I was in China right now and I see all these problems with the real estate market,
278
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I see the fact that we were locked away for three years because of COVID and my future is just not all there. I'm not going to really want to put that much money down because I don't know if I'm going to have a job to pay for it. Correct.
279
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:59,000
So that means you've got a falling demand. Yeah. So the next step in that is you're going to have falling prices. Like you said, you're going to try to make that good more appealing to the customer because they're not buying it anymore.
280
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:08,000
But if it's cheap enough, if you have a car and you slash it in half and you're like, well, I know the economy is not doing well, but I can afford half the price. Yeah. Right.
281
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Next, what do you have? You have debt defaults. Banks are loaning people money to buy houses and things like this. Right. You're not going to build if no one can pay it back. What do you think is going to happen?
282
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Debt defaults. Then you have bankruptcies. You have people and businesses declaring bankruptcy left and right in China. Then you have layoffs and wage reduction. So people aren't going to be able to afford to keep their staff up. They're not going to increase their scale. They're not going to increase the economy. They're going to contract.
283
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000
So then those people can't afford the product. So then that, you know, because now they don't have a job anymore. Yeah, it keeps going. It keeps going.
284
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Deflation is one of the worst things that can happen to you. The property market in China is collapsing. I'll give you a personal example. A person I know had a six million RMB apartment. So let's say that's like a million US dollars.
285
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Almost a million US dollars. Right. Yeah. You end is weaker now. But yeah, let's just say it's a million US dollars. They just sold it for 500,000 RMB. Right. So that what is what is 500,000 RMB?
286
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I have no idea, but it's a hell of a lot less than a million US dollars. So they sold a million dollars. They sold a million dollar apartment for $69,000. Yeah, you can remedy deflation by getting people to spend money.
287
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:29,000
This is where it gets really close to home. Yes. And you can have a certain amount of like federal control really over the economy.
288
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Well, I think that isn't that why, you know, Biden sent checks to us or whatever. You can go buy some stuff. Right. You can inject money into an economy to make sure that this doesn't happen.
289
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Right. Which eventually will lead to inflation of some sort. Right. Yeah. But deflation with China, they can't inject any more money because every time they bail out a property company, because people pretty much only want to invest in property, right.
290
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Right. So if you're in China, there's no reliable way to invest your money, then you're in a situation now where property companies are defaulting. Yeah. They're defaulting on the loans that the government tried to bail them out with. Yes.
291
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:18,000
They can't even build the houses that people have already bought. And are paying for by the way. And are paying for, they're paying mortgages on houses that will never exist. Yes. It's a massive bubble that has already started to be penetrated by deflation.
292
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Wicked bat. Does anybody think we are far behind? And they really hit the nail on the head. They seem to be thinking it's a good thing. They're talking about it like it's some sort of positive.
293
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:53,000
But all the spending that we've been doing, all the stimulus, the Inflation Reduction Act, the wars, all of it, it's all about printing money. It's all about attempting to stave off deflation, which is a death spiral.
294
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Which, I don't know how we avoid it. I guess we're trying to outgrow it with people and a printing press. Borders wide open, people coming in, streaming in, and a printing press going.
295
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:24,000
You add alternative, what is it? Guaranteed minimum income, thank you.
296
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And you know, that's, you take a giant population, give them guaranteed minimum income, and boom, you stave off deflation by just stoking endless inflation.
297
00:32:46,000 --> 00:33:00,000
They sound like two sides of the same coin, the same death spiral. Heads or tails, it doesn't matter.
298
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,000
But here's how China's reacting internally to try and address the issue.
299
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:17,000
People in the banking sector are now saying, by the way, that they have to study or read four books of Xi Jinping per month, and then write reports on it.
300
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,000
If you think about it, China's economy right now is falling down, rolling down a hill, really.
301
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The last thing you want people to do is sit there reading stuff that's not relevant and then testing them on that.
302
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
So they have to sit down and have a test, and do they have to write essays about it?
303
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Yes, they have to write essays and then penalize, remove them and fine them for not doing that, but it has nothing to do with their banking performance.
304
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,000
And I think this is something people don't understand about Chinese companies, is the fining thing.
305
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Because this used to happen in the companies I used to work in as well, like for instance when I worked for the rapist in the rapist school.
306
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:00,000
If somebody was like a minute late, they would fine them, and by fine, I mean they deducted money from their salary.
307
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And the salaries are not big.
308
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Oh, they're bad in China.
309
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I think the salary for the receptionist there was something like 3,800 RMB a month.
310
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
500 bucks a month.
311
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
And the fine for being late a minute was 250 RMB.
312
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Whoa!
313
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:26,000
And they used to have a sheet where there would be basically a narc who sits there, and someone comes a minute late,
314
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
and they'd be like, write down their name and the time and all that, and then at the end of the month, that person loses money.
315
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Like if they didn't bow or something, or they didn't do something, if they wore their shirt a little wrong, or they didn't have their pin on,
316
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
because we used to have to wear these lapel pins there, right, which was stupid.
317
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
If you didn't have the lapel pin on, or it was skew or something, there's another fine.
318
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
So if you don't watch yourself, you could actually have no salary, or even negative salary.
319
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Some bank executives and business heads have to take around a third of their working time,
320
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
this is the important figure here, studying Xi Jinping thought, a third of their working time.
321
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
That's productivity, right?
322
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Which is already low in China.
323
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Joining activities and courses, or reading four books from Xi every month.
324
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
So is this not having an effect on foreign companies that are...
325
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Massively! Massively!
326
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
You think this is palatable to people that want to go bring investment?
327
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
The only people pushing for investment into China are bad people.
328
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Like Nike and Tesla and Apple.
329
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I don't know what Nike's situation is now.
330
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Yeah, so I think the thing that they're missing, or that they're at least not accentuating,
331
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:54,000
is what they're really talking about is that Chairman Xi has embarked on a process of re-education,
332
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
of mass re-education of the financial sector.
333
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And so, yeah, Xi doesn't care that they're careening off a cliff financially.
334
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
He's not interested in that.
335
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
He's not interested in a capitalist future.
336
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
He's interested in a communist future.
337
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
So do you think he cares?
338
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
He doesn't seem to care.
339
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
He's more interested in re-educating his population, getting them ready for the future that he has in mind for them,
340
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
which is nothing like what we have in mind for them, or for ourselves.
341
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:35,000
So that's the... that is the end of the China update.
342
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:45,000
But you know what? That really should take us to this.
343
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:52,000
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
344
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
We're there. And we're there in like 35 minutes.
345
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
It's amazing.
346
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000
This is when I get to tell you how it is we do business here on the Truth Bay Podcast,
347
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
because you might have noticed, no commercials, zero commercials.
348
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
We don't have any commercials, no corporate sponsors.
349
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
We have citizen sponsors, because if we were to have corporate sponsors,
350
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
there's absolutely no way we could talk about the things we do
351
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:23,000
and pontificate about different conspiracy theories, conspiracy facts.
352
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
We just wouldn't be able to do it if we had corporate sponsors.
353
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
We would lose those corporate sponsors right away.
354
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,000
So we have, we use the value for value model, which was pioneered,
355
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
invented and pioneered by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show.
356
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
You should be listening to their podcast after you listen to this podcast, only after.
357
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And the way that it works is if you think that you're getting value from what you're listening to,
358
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
if the work that I'm putting in, that Jeremy puts in when he's available,
359
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
the work that you're doing, that other producers are doing,
360
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,000
what you're listening to, if it's bringing value to you, if you feel like you're learning something,
361
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,000
maybe it's just helping you make sense of the world, then you're getting value.
362
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
And if you're getting value, we ask you to return value to the podcast.
363
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000
And the best way you can return value to the podcast is to share the show.
364
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Share the show. People you bump into. It happens to me.
365
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Recently, I had to have HVAC repaired in my house.
366
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
The HVAC guy comes over. We end up in conversation.
367
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
He ends up telling me about a podcast. I forget the name of it, and I haven't had a chance to listen to it,
368
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
but it sounded exactly like something I would be interested in.
369
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000
So the next thing I know, I'm telling him about the podcast that I'm interested in.
370
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:50,000
That's how it works. And when that opportunity arises, the Truthbait Podcast, Return Value, share the show.
371
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,000
That's how we grow. And the other way, the other incredibly important way, maybe it's also the most important way,
372
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
we're tied for the most important ways, is by sending in content.
373
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Truth at Truthbait.com. Truth at Truthbait.com. Truth at Truthbait.com.
374
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Write us, send us content, send us things that you see out there that are interesting to you.
375
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Send us clips that you see. Include timecode, include comments.
376
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
What is it that interests you about that content?
377
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
This is your show. A lot of what you're hearing is stuff that is sent in.
378
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Of course, it's also the things that I'm finding out there because I have special skills at finding this material
379
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000
and presenting it in a way that is completely unique and beneficial to everybody in the listening audience.
380
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:46,000
But the truth is that I could not possibly be doing this by myself, Jeremy, and I couldn't do this without you, our producers.
381
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:55,000
And so, you know, taking part, sending in content is of incredible value to the podcast.
382
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:03,000
And if you want to keep hearing this podcast, if it is of value, it requires you to take part.
383
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
And that is the end of that.
384
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I've decided to just start playing music segments, the music on either end of the segments.
385
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I feel like it gives a definition.
386
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000
I would rather have, you know, specific music for the end of the segments that's different than the beginning of the segments.
387
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000
But for now, that's what we're going to have to put up with.
388
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Let's go to...
389
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Oh, you know what? Like I said, let's see, I have an article about Ford
390
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:50,000
because I've covered this in previous episodes where Ford is just there losing their shirts,
391
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:58,000
dealing with, you know, moving over to their mostly electric fleet.
392
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And recently, here's the headline from Washington Free Beacon,
393
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Reality Check, Ford CEO Struggles to Charge EV During Road Trip.
394
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Wonderful. This article is hilarious.
395
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Let me read...let's see.
396
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Ford CEO Jim Fairley said he faced a reality check while attempting to charge his electric truck during a road trip across the American West,
397
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,000
an admission that comes as President Joe Biden spends billions to spur electric vehicle adoption.
398
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:46,000
He says, charging has been pretty challenging, adding that one stop took him 40 minutes to charge his truck battery, just 40 percent.
399
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
It was a really good reality check, the challenges of what our customers go through.
400
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Wow, congratulations. So that's really...they basically test the quality control of their vehicles and user experience
401
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
the same way Pfizer tests their vaccines. They just release it out into the public.
402
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And then eventually they go out and they see that actually if Ford were to...if Pfizer and Ford were to work really the same,
403
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Pfizer would eventually just like have all of their staff take the real shot and they would just start dropping dead and having strokes.
404
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Just like now Ford is having their people drive the electric cars and they can't charge them anywhere.
405
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:34,000
This is a really good business model these companies have. Let's see.
406
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Fairley's social media post gave insight into the hurdles associated with driving electric vehicles over long distances.
407
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:50,000
In one post, Farley asks his social media followers to share their experiences with charging on the road.
408
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And let's see, one user says, not the greatest, many slow, many broken chargers.
409
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000
The user said, let's see, Farley acknowledged in another post that finding a charging station wasn't always easy, telling one user
410
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
he had to go to multiple stations to find one that was available. And when he says one that was available,
411
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,000
is it that there's so much demand that there's lines for this or is it that they were offline?
412
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:27,000
He doesn't elaborate. This is where the whole thing turns completely absurd.
413
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,000
We may be talking about a car, but this is a complete train wreck, what has occurred here.
414
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Farley nonetheless praised other aspects of Ford's new F-150 Lightning, including its front end trunk.
415
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:47,000
He calls a frunk. First of all, he's not the one to invent the term frunk.
416
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Frunk has been there for a while. I'm pretty sure it's been there at least since Tesla.
417
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Porsche has had a frunk for years. The 911 has had a frunk forever.
418
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:07,000
This is what's praiseworthy of the truck, of the Ford F-150 Lightning.
419
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:22,000
I'm sure what every four by four pickup truck driving rural living American has been waiting for is the frunk.
420
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Finally, just the top of top of line praise.
421
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Let's see. Oh, he also enjoyed the community of EV drivers he met while waiting at charging stations.
422
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,000
The community all bonding over what a terrible experience it is.
423
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:47,000
The Ford CEO also displayed the trucks ability to power non-travel related tasks,
424
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:55,000
like helping jump a disabled individual's electric scooter and powering the inflation of a children's bounce house.
425
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:03,000
The idea that they're using the F-150 to charge a disabled individual's electric scooter,
426
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:14,000
so it basically is these terrible electric devices charging each other to keep each other alive.
427
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Yeah, I just thought that that went into complete insanity and also insane.
428
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Elon Musk. We've talked about this many times.
429
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:33,000
X, Twitter, Elon Musk, no savior. He is not a savior. He is no savior of free speech.
430
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:48,000
He is creating the West's version, the US version of, I forget the name of it, the Chinese app.
431
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Weibo? Is it Weibo? I forget the name of it.
432
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
But it's like the everything app. This is where your social credit score is going to be.
433
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
This is where you're going to buy everything. This is where you do all of your social media.
434
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,000
That's what he's trying to build. It's going to be a prison.
435
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,000
And this is all beginning to be confirmed. People are beginning to see the evidence is building up.
436
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Here's a headline from Revolver.
437
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Elon's new censorship chief was just unmasked and he's a double agent.
438
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000
We all held high hopes for Twitter when Elon Musk stepped in.
439
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,000
We didn't all have high hopes there, pal.
440
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,000
We all had high hopes for Twitter when Elon Musk stepped in and purchased the platform.
441
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
While his intentions seemed good, with his heart in the right place,
442
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,000
he's quickly discovering that America may not be as free as he thought she was.
443
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
When it comes down to it, the shots aren't being called by the Constitution,
444
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
but by woke companies like Apple, Amazon, and Chase.
445
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Sadly, that's why Twitter isn't turning into the bastion of free speech we had hoped for,
446
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
thanks to the crew who's taking over the helm.
447
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,000
And one of the biggest standouts is Aaron Rodricks,
448
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
a flaming liberal who's now heading up censorship.
449
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Here's what Mike Benz, the founder of Foundation for Freedom Online,
450
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
had to say about this, quote, double agent.
451
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:22,000
And he says, Mike Benz says, Twitter's current censorship recruiter Aaron Rodricks
452
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:29,000
promotes the most scandalous censorship agency in the federal government, DHS's CISA.
453
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,000
And he backs up CISA's head of MIS, DIS, and Malinformation subcommittee, Kate Starbird.
454
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:41,000
He's actively working against Musk's professed vision.
455
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Yeah, I'm not surprised one bit. This is what you can expect.
456
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Everybody should probably abandon X and move over to truth.
457
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
I think we're going to move our activity over to truth.
458
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,000
I don't know that we're going to depart Twitter entirely, but yeah, Twitter is...
459
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:10,000
X is an evil company. I believe it's an evil company.
460
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:18,000
So yeah, well, then there's Snow White, produced by Disney, also another evil company.
461
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
And they are making a lot of waves.
462
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
You know, I'm not sure that this is going to be bad for their box office,
463
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:35,000
because when you take into account Barbie was a complete social justice film,
464
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:41,000
and did gigantic business, record-breaking business.
465
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,000
So there's reason to believe that if...and Barbie was a terrible film,
466
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:52,000
just as a empirically filmmaking, as a poor piece of filmmaking, and did just tremendous business.
467
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:00,000
So why is there any reason to believe that even if Snow White, the live-action remake starring Gal Gadot,
468
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:05,000
who played Wonder Woman, and Rachel Ziegler, who you probably have not heard of,
469
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000
except for the clips that are being circulated right now for her comments about Snow White.
470
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:22,000
But she was apparently in...let's see, she was in a major box office failure, West Side Story.
471
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:28,000
That's right, the...didn't Steven Spielberg remake that film, and it was just a complete bomb.
472
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Yeah, Steven Spielberg, total disaster.
473
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:40,000
And Gal Gadot and Ziegler were being interviewed at a...
474
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,000
it looks like it was a Disney Expo, or some expo. What does it say? Does that say Disney? I can't read it.
475
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And some, I'm sure some entertainment junket.
476
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And they're being asked about the Snow White live-action remake,
477
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
and these comments went and made people nuts.
478
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,000
You said you were bringing a modern edge to it on stage. What do you mean by that?
479
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000
I just mean that it's no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that is...
480
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince.
481
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.
482
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be,
483
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,000
and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true.
484
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Uh...
485
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Why can't she be both?
486
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Why can't she be a leader who also wants and longs for true love?
487
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
You know, there's that saying, nobody on their deathbed wishes they had attended one more meeting.
488
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
No one. No. You wish you had spent more time with your loved ones.
489
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,000
And the premise here is that that is to be shunned.
490
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.
491
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Why? Why not? Why shouldn't everybody be dreaming about true love?
492
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Love makes the world go round, and it's a small world after all.
493
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
No, no, no. Leadership makes the world go round.
494
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,000
It's pathetic.
495
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:29,000
I have to confess, I hope it does very well at the box office, but I just think it's...
496
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Oh, it's no good. Yes, you're not mistaken.
497
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:40,000
A short episode today. I'm on the road, so abbreviated episode.
498
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:46,000
But maybe you like that. Maybe we like the Truthbait podcast at under an hour.
499
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Let me know. Write me a truth at truthbait.com.
500
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Truth at truthbait.com. Let me know if you like me to speed through the show, do a shorter show.
501
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Maybe that's the thing to do when I don't have my friend Jeremy, my partner, Jeremy.
502
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Come back soon.
503
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Listen every Tuesday and Friday, where you will receive a new episode of the Truthbait podcast without fail.
504
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,000
To the best of our ability.
505
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Thank you everybody for listening. Thank you to everyone who wrote in.
506
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Thank you to Big Al and Joliet. And Janice in Arizona also wrote in.
507
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And a number of other people wrote in. I'm sorry that I started naming that because I now know I'm going to be leaving people off the list.
508
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:50,000
But thank you for writing in. You know who you are. And if you want a personal mention, just write in again and tell me you want a personal mention.
509
00:52:50,000 --> 00:53:03,000
I'll do that for you. And until then, until next time, as you know, we say, back into the sea of truth.
510
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,000
No.
511
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Back into the sea of clickbait with us all.
512
00:53:37,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Thank you.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I have updates on everything.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Okay people, let's begin.
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:25,000
We have liftoff! Get up everybody!
4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Are you ready to be baited?
5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
With the truth?
6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Good, because you're listening to the Truth Day Podcast.
7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I'm documentary filmmaker and podcaster Andrew Marcus.
8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Flying solo today as we deconstruct the propaganda war being waged against the American people.
9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let's get to the truth.
10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Gonna let that music run out. Yeah, there you go.
11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Thank you everybody for tuning in.
12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Special episode. This is episode 50.
13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000
50 episodes and unfortunately my partner in narrowcasting, Jeremy, is not with us.
14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So we're going to put off celebrating episode 50 until he is able to join us.
15
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
And in fact we won't celebrate episode 50.
16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We'll celebrate having reached 50 episodes when Jeremy is able to join us.
17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
But this is a special episode because it is 50.
18
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
It's pretty amazing getting to 50. Hopefully we'll get to 100. We'll see what happens.
19
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Share the show. Please share the show. That's how we grow.
20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And go to iTunes or wherever you're listening to leave a rating.
21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Five stars. That's what this show deserves, of course. Five stars. Anything less is inappropriate.
22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And leave a comment. I know on iTunes, yeah, if you go to the show page, you scroll all the way down to the bottom,
23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
you'll be able to see where then they have a section where you can leave the star rating and a comment.
24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
We always love and appreciate that. Today I have a ton of updates.
25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It seems like all the stories we've been covering have important updates worthy of covering.
26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I have, of course, I have a China update. I have an election update. I have a Hawaii update.
27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I have, wow, what else do I have? I have a Ford update.
28
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
You know, we've talked about the electric cars in the past.
29
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Ford is seriously faltering in that department. And I have Snow White.
30
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
That's not an update, but Snow White is on the radar. So what should we start with today?
31
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Why don't we start with, well, let's go, let's go with, let's start with the election.
32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
OK, and we're not going to spend a ton of time in this.
33
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
We've spent the entire, most of the previous episode, thankfully,
34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Jeremy was able to join in on interviewing the always brilliant
35
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Professor William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, LegalInsurrection.com.
36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And he gave us a, I thought was a really interesting analysis of the most recent indictment in Georgia.
37
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And I just wanted to play. This is a reaction that is making the rounds on Twitter.
38
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I think that it was probably originally posted to TikTok.
39
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It's a gentleman who lives in Fulton County, Georgia,
40
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
which is where Trump and 18 others associated with him are being indicted on RICO charges.
41
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
So here's this reaction. It's pretty interesting.
42
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
The last 14 years, I've called Georgia home. I have my business here, got married here.
43
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000
My daughter was born in Fulton County. I've been all over the world and most major US cities.
44
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
If I could live anywhere, I would stay right here in Georgia.
45
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
To me, Georgia is the best place in the world where people still say yes, ma'am.
46
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And thank you, sir. Where even the liberals go to church on Sundays.
47
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
And to see the establishment drama brought to my doorsteps,
48
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
the globalist socialist chaos brought to our community.
49
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Last night when I watched the Fulton County DA smirk while she indicted former president Donald Trump
50
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
along 18 others on RICO charges like they are part of the Sopranos, I'm not going to lie.
51
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I was pretty pissed. And then I read all 96 pages of the indictments.
52
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
There is nothing in there to get anyone.
53
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
The DA specifically said that the overt acts listed are not illegal on their own.
54
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But because there are enough of them, they can be charged as a criminal enterprise.
55
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
What do these overt acts include?
56
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Questioning the outcome of the 2020 election for making false statements about the integrity of the election in other states,
57
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
for asking for email addresses of public officials and sending emails,
58
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
for hiring forensic data teams to review election results,
59
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
for requesting hearings to challenge the results,
60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
for unnamed people sending emails,
61
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
and most importantly, mean tweets.
62
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
This trial goes nowhere. And they know it.
63
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
So why all the drama? And why was I so upset?
64
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's not because of the charges. The charges are b******.
65
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It's because I could see their plan. And I could feel it working.
66
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,000
You got to see the big picture. The play is always geopolitics. Always control.
67
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
The globalist socialist establishment has already conquered LA, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago.
68
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Where are the Trump indictments? They're trying to take New York, Virginia, Miami, and now Atlanta.
69
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Notice they are not indicting him in areas they've already won.
70
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
It's a squeeze play. Can you see the map?
71
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
The point of these indictments is not to prevent Trump from running for president.
72
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Of all the indictments and charges, none of them can prevent him from running.
73
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
It's not even about preventing him from winning.
74
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
They see that the poll numbers jump every time an indictment is announced.
75
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
If they truly believed that Trump was plotting to overthrow the US government,
76
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
they would focus all of their energy, resources, and personnel on one case,
77
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
and try to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
You don't indict in multiple states with multiple charges with multiple teams of lawyers.
79
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
You don't spray and pray.
80
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The sole point of the indictments is to divide this country.
81
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
To keep us occupied fighting each other.
82
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Republican vs. Democrat. Man vs. Woman.
83
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Black vs. White vs. Brown vs. Yellow.
84
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Poor vs. Less Poor.
85
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Don't get distracted. It's not us vs. each other. It's us vs. them.
86
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
They're not trying to save democracy. They're trying to crush it.
87
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
If you're watching from Georgia, if you are my neighbor, beware.
88
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Look at what they've done in other cities, other states. Homelessness, drugs, and violence.
89
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Burning it all down so they can build it back up and gain control.
90
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
The talking head propagandist will surely plaster the news cycle.
91
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This time, we got him.
92
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
What they really mean is, this time, we got you.
93
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Amen, brother. That is, I think, spot on.
94
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
I think he makes the exact right points.
95
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And what he's talking about, how this is really designed to inflame,
96
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
that got me thinking in terms of, you remember, just before the indictment dropped,
97
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
it was leaked online.
98
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And the clerk of the court accidentally hit enter instead of, do not enter, I don't know why, I don't know what.
99
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Accidentally posted it online, allegedly.
100
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Yeah.
101
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Unless there is a pattern of accidentally releasing indictments online before they are handed down from the grand jury,
102
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,000
which is what happened in this case, then when you look at it through this context of the previous clip,
103
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:45,000
I think that it's possible that it was released like that intentionally so that it would create the chaos.
104
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And then when they released the actual indictment and accidentally had the grand jury members' names
105
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
and other personal information on the filing,
106
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
to me, they're trying to incite violence.
107
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000
They're trying to incite threats of violence, at the very least.
108
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:18,000
They want the narrative of threats of violence being aimed at these jurors, the members of the grand jury.
109
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And leaking their names does that.
110
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
So I think this guy's right. I think this is all an op.
111
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
This is just a play for chaos and division.
112
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And it's working.
113
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Here I have a clip from Ted Cruz that's making the rounds where he basically is saying,
114
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000
look, you know, yeah, they're doing all this lawfare to destroy the GOP and destroy the country, destroy the Constitution.
115
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
But really, we shouldn't stoop to their level.
116
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I understand the sentiment of, damn it, if these are going to weaponize the justice system and try to lock up Republicans for running against them,
117
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
we ought to weaponize the justice system and lock up Democrats for being Democrats.
118
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I understand that. That's a very human reaction.
119
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
I don't agree with it. I don't agree with abusing law enforcement, whether it is for my team or the other team.
120
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Yeah, I love Ted. He's great, smart guy. I think he's wrong on this.
121
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And this is Sean Davis responding. This is all taking place on Fox News.
122
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, I love Ted. He's great, smart guy. I think he's wrong on this.
123
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And I think the thing that he and others should look at is the Cold War.
124
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000
How did the U.S. win the Cold War against an evil empire? They had nukes. We had nukes. We were worried about them nuking us.
125
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
We used a policy called mutually assured destruction that said if you so much as even think about launching something against us,
126
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
we will nuke you in your entire country and if we all go down, so be it.
127
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And it was that doctrine, that fear that was instilled in both sides that, hey, we better watch it or we're both going to get nuked,
128
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
that actually led to something of a detente and then the eventual fall of the Soviet empire.
129
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
You've got to do the same thing here. You can't tie your hands behind your back,
130
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
let them punch you in the face and throw you in prison and say, well, you know, I could respond, but that would be icky and it wouldn't make me feel good.
131
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
You're either interested in winning as a politician and putting points on the board or you're a loser.
132
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And for too long, Republicans have been content to be losers. They're happy to beat the spread, but they don't really want to win.
133
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And I think the time for that kind of stuff is over.
134
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
That is right. And you can thank Donald Trump for ending that, for bringing an end to that era. That's amazing.
135
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000
He is the publisher of The Federalist and the editor of The Federalist.
136
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Let's see, they had his title up here. CEO and co-founder of The Federalist.
137
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So The Federalist basically understands now that there is a, I love the way that he frames it, it's a cold war.
138
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
He didn't say that, but he's talking about mutually assured destruction.
139
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
That is a cold war element, a pillar of the cold war.
140
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And he's describing the relationship between the left and the right in this country as that cold war.
141
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Although I think he's mistaken. I don't think this is Democrat versus Republican.
142
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
This is establishment versus everybody else.
143
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:41,000
And let's switch gears, we're still in the election update, but I received an email from Al and Joliet
144
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:52,000
bringing my attention to Vivek Ramaswamy's Ten Commandments for the 24 election.
145
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
So he put out this list here, this Vivek's.
146
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Oh, and I couldn't find any media on it at all. There was an article and that was what Al sent to me.
147
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
But I can either read an article or I can try and find a clip.
148
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,000
And I found this clip. This is from Watchdog on Wall Street.
149
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Watchdog on Wall Street.com.
150
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Watchdog on Wall Street.com.
151
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And here he lists the Ten Commandments.
152
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
So he put out this list here, this Vivek's Ten Commandments 2024 election.
153
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Number one, God is real.
154
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Number two, there are two genders.
155
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Number three, human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
156
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Number four, reverse racism is racism.
157
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Number five, an open border is no border.
158
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Number six, parents determine the education of their children.
159
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Number seven, the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
160
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Number eight, capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
161
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Number nine, there are three branches of the US government, not four.
162
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:09,000
And number 10, the US Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.
163
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Hard to disagree with any of that.
164
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I am curious what our producers feel about Vivek rewriting the Ten Commandments.
165
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Is that okay? Is that not okay?
166
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
If it is okay, what do we think of this as a campaign tactic? Is it going to help him?
167
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
We're talking about it? I don't know. Kind of interesting.
168
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,000
He's doing a lot of interesting stuff, although I still think he works for, I think he's a plant of Donald Trump's.
169
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I think he's Donald Trump's guy.
170
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Okay, let's go to Hawaii, where it is just a continuing disaster unfolding painfully in slow motion.
171
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Here is the director of, what is this guy?
172
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000
He is Maui Emergency Services Head.
173
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Here he is responding to a question about why didn't the emergency sirens go off to warn people that there was impending danger?
174
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
175
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I do not. And the reason why...
176
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:39,000
I do not. Could he possibly have given a worse answer?
177
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:49,000
His reasoning, in a way, makes a little bit of sense, but who would know and who would care after he answers the question that way?
178
00:15:49,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And what unfolds in the room is very interesting in this clip. There is somebody standing behind the guy who is at the podium, and he's in a red shirt, he's got a black coat on, and he is a big dude.
179
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000
And he's like a tough guy. He looks like a tough guy in the room. And when this starts to go back and forth and get a little contentious, he becomes the tough guy in the room.
180
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
That's the voice you're going to hear interject itself.
181
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
182
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I do not. And the reason why...
183
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So many people said they could have been saved if they had time to escape. Had a siren gone off, they would have known that there was a crisis emerging. And as we know, so many bodies were found in the ground as the flames flung.
184
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Do you want him to give you the answer?
185
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I do, but I want to...
186
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Let him finish his answer.
187
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I'm sorry, there's a lot of people...
188
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Well, you're talking and you're not letting him talk. If you want to talk, come up here.
189
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I'm ready for the answer.
190
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Then wait.
191
00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:01,000
The sirens, as I had mentioned earlier, is used primarily for tsunamis. And that's the reason why many of them are found, almost all of them are found, on the coastline.
192
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:11,000
The public is trained to seek higher ground in the event that the siren is sounded. In fact, on the website of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the fireman guideline is provided.
193
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000
If you are in a low-lying area near the coastline, evacuate to high grounds.
194
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,000
So, okay, I mean, his explanation makes a little bit of sense, but who would know and who would care after the first answer?
195
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Do you regret not sounding the sirens?
196
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I do not.
197
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
He does not. He has no regret at all.
198
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:43,000
It's just the wrong answer. Even if you feel like not sounding the alarm was the right thing, it's the wrong answer in that moment.
199
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:54,000
He needs some help from a crisis management expert, which he's not going to get because Maui Emergency Services head resigns as more disturbing details emerge about problematic response.
200
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
That was just hours after that sound bite he resigned.
201
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Yeah, I guess I wouldn't. How would I know whether or not they should have sounded the alarms or not have sounded the alarms?
202
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
He even made it sound like there was some wiggle room that it's normally used for tsunamis.
203
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:28,000
But does that mean it's not always used for tsunamis? I have not looked at their guidelines, so I don't know exactly what they are, but just thought that was...
204
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:39,000
They're really in good hands there in Hawaii. If I were everywhere else in Hawaii, I'd feel really, really safe right now.
205
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:48,000
And it gets even more interesting than that. You know I've been very suspicious about the narratives that have been given to us.
206
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:56,000
First, it was just this wildfire because to me, again, I didn't like the idea that this implied that this was just sort of a naturally occurring event.
207
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Now, there's a lot of media reports that are catching up because I had played it early on that the reports about downed electrical lines and that the lines were still live.
208
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And I made the point that there were reports of children being sent home from school because they were so concerned about the effects of the hurricane and the wind.
209
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So they sent the kids home, but apparently this was not enough of a concern to take the power off of these lines even though there were dry conditions.
210
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And look, intentional, not intentional, who in the world knows at this point, but certainly at the very least the most charitable thing you can say is just uncoordinated malfeasance.
211
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:57,000
But there may be reasons to think that this is not just some innocent thing that's going on here.
212
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
This is a clip that I have from YouTube and I think he identifies himself in the beginning.
213
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Dave Hodges here, host of the Common Sense Show.
214
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Dave Hodges, host of the Common Sense Show on YouTube. Dave Hodges, Common Sense Show.
215
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
There's some things that really bothered me about Maui. I'm not alleging any funny business.
216
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I just want to say the day that this happened, this greatly assisted China.
217
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Maui is the eyes and ears of the nation.
218
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Let me just go through a few things here.
219
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:39,000
The most sophisticated high performance computers are in Maui and they're geared and run a lot of our national defense through AI.
220
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Was that destroyed? We'll never know. They won't tell us.
221
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
The Space Force is headquartered in Maui.
222
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
The Space Force is really about the only advantage we have over China.
223
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Maybe the submarines, but the Space Force definitely.
224
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Was it damaged? We don't know.
225
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Maui space surveillance can track anything that moves on the planet, in the air, on the ground, and underwater.
226
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Was that damaged? We don't know.
227
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Our directed energy weapons are housed in Maui.
228
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Office of Deep Tracking Space. Again, that gets back to tracking asteroids.
229
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:28,000
If Maui is negated, because of its eyes and ears capability, the West Coast is vulnerable to invasion.
230
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Wow.
231
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
You know what? I didn't know most of that.
232
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I went and looked up the Space Forces right there in Maui.
233
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Maui is where our military AI is located.
234
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I don't have confirmation of that.
235
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Then he has this as well. Who knows whether or not that's the case in terms of China.
236
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
China did it, and all this benefits China.
237
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Or this was just complete malfeasance, and all of it benefits China.
238
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
All of this benefits other people as well, as he goes on to say.
239
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:29,000
I went to the State of Hawaii website, and I wanted to see what the status was with zoning and projects.
240
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Oh boy. They want to turn Maui into a 15-minute city.
241
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:45,000
It's really clear from the organization structure. They don't say that in writing, but I recognize it from the Tucson plan, the Cleveland plan that I've seen.
242
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:53,000
They want to turn Maui into a 15-minute city, and they want huge developers in there, and they already have them slotted in.
243
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,000
I saw this map where they had a color-coded map. Can't do here because you're right on the beach.
244
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Can't build here because that's Lahaina.
245
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Then everything around Lahaina and down to near the beach, all developers.
246
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But it's worse. Here comes the governor again.
247
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
He took away the State Development Council.
248
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:33,000
They're basically a business alliance group from the state government that was designed to keep out-of-Hawaii investors out of Maui.
249
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
He canceled that earlier this year.
250
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
How many coincidences are you going to buy?
251
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Oh, but we're not done. Bezos has offered $100 million to West Maui to build a smart city.
252
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Hello, 15-minute city. It's exactly what this is.
253
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Well, okay. Disconcerting. I'm not suggesting that they burned the good people of Maui off the island so that they could turn it into a 15-minute city.
254
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:26,000
It's just possible that people are just waiting, chomping at the bit to take advantage and profit off of the misery, as Rahm Emanuel once said,
255
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
never letting a good crisis go to waste.
256
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:45,000
It is interesting, though, I think that one thing that we should maybe consider is that with all of the incredibly sensitive military installations on Maui and elsewhere, come to think of it.
257
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Is it possible maybe that as we're heading into this Cold War with China, we really just wanted to have a greater zone of protection around these military installations,
258
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:08,000
and we just burned a whole bunch of people off the island, literally, so that there just wouldn't be any population there.
259
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000
It grants them a little bit more solitude, a little more protection from spies.
260
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
I don't know. Hey, I'm just asking questions.
261
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:34,000
What is Adam Curry of No Agenda? He says he's a conspiracy therapist. I think that's the role I'm playing here today as well.
262
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Yeah, in China, they mocked Biden for his response to Maui.
263
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
And let's see, this was on Breitbart. Again, this came in through Big Al and Juliet.
264
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
China mocks Biden's inability to handle Hawaii fires.
265
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Chinese state media this week gleefully mocked President Joe Biden for bungling the response to Hawaii's wildfires.
266
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Now, that's very interesting if you take into account, you remember just a few episodes ago, we were talking about the massive flooding that's happening in China.
267
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Beijing was completely underwater. It was the worst flooding natural disaster in China's history.
268
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And it's thought could have potentially toppled the Xi government and maybe still might play a role, but they have completely bungled the...
269
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Well, it's not bungled. They're true to form. Basically, everybody's being left to fend for themselves, which from what I hear is also happening in Maui.
270
00:26:43,000 --> 00:27:01,000
So not much difference, but China's just no one to talk on that level. And I'm sure that they're really only mocking the US response to Maui so that they can put the focus there as opposed to on China.
271
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:14,000
But China... Here, we have a China update. Let's do...
272
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Oh, what happened? I had China music ready and it's not playing. I don't have it. I'm going to have to bring it to you in the next episode.
273
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Anyway, imagine some music as you're walking into... Oh, wait here. Is it there? Yes! There you go. It's the China update.
274
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:57,000
There you go. I exited out of the song just as it was getting really exciting. So China has a raft of problems, some of which are going to sound eerily familiar to what we're experiencing.
275
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:16,000
But apparently they are headlong into deflation and to help explain deflation and what is happening there, we turn to our reliable YouTube friends at China Fact Chasers on YouTube.
276
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:27,000
I'm not going to go buy a car. Are you going to go buy a car if you're thinking that the future economy in the next five years is probably not going to do very well? No.
277
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I mean, like, it's the thing is, you don't know if you're going to have a job, you don't know if you're going to have the money. Like, I wouldn't go buy a house. If I was in China right now and I see all these problems with the real estate market,
278
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I see the fact that we were locked away for three years because of COVID and my future is just not all there. I'm not going to really want to put that much money down because I don't know if I'm going to have a job to pay for it. Correct.
279
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:59,000
So that means you've got a falling demand. Yeah. So the next step in that is you're going to have falling prices. Like you said, you're going to try to make that good more appealing to the customer because they're not buying it anymore.
280
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:08,000
But if it's cheap enough, if you have a car and you slash it in half and you're like, well, I know the economy is not doing well, but I can afford half the price. Yeah. Right.
281
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Next, what do you have? You have debt defaults. Banks are loaning people money to buy houses and things like this. Right. You're not going to build if no one can pay it back. What do you think is going to happen?
282
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Debt defaults. Then you have bankruptcies. You have people and businesses declaring bankruptcy left and right in China. Then you have layoffs and wage reduction. So people aren't going to be able to afford to keep their staff up. They're not going to increase their scale. They're not going to increase the economy. They're going to contract.
283
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000
So then those people can't afford the product. So then that, you know, because now they don't have a job anymore. Yeah, it keeps going. It keeps going.
284
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Deflation is one of the worst things that can happen to you. The property market in China is collapsing. I'll give you a personal example. A person I know had a six million RMB apartment. So let's say that's like a million US dollars.
285
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Almost a million US dollars. Right. Yeah. You end is weaker now. But yeah, let's just say it's a million US dollars. They just sold it for 500,000 RMB. Right. So that what is what is 500,000 RMB?
286
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I have no idea, but it's a hell of a lot less than a million US dollars. So they sold a million dollars. They sold a million dollar apartment for $69,000. Yeah, you can remedy deflation by getting people to spend money.
287
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:29,000
This is where it gets really close to home. Yes. And you can have a certain amount of like federal control really over the economy.
288
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Well, I think that isn't that why, you know, Biden sent checks to us or whatever. You can go buy some stuff. Right. You can inject money into an economy to make sure that this doesn't happen.
289
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Right. Which eventually will lead to inflation of some sort. Right. Yeah. But deflation with China, they can't inject any more money because every time they bail out a property company, because people pretty much only want to invest in property, right.
290
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Right. So if you're in China, there's no reliable way to invest your money, then you're in a situation now where property companies are defaulting. Yeah. They're defaulting on the loans that the government tried to bail them out with. Yes.
291
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:18,000
They can't even build the houses that people have already bought. And are paying for by the way. And are paying for, they're paying mortgages on houses that will never exist. Yes. It's a massive bubble that has already started to be penetrated by deflation.
292
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Wicked bat. Does anybody think we are far behind? And they really hit the nail on the head. They seem to be thinking it's a good thing. They're talking about it like it's some sort of positive.
293
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:53,000
But all the spending that we've been doing, all the stimulus, the Inflation Reduction Act, the wars, all of it, it's all about printing money. It's all about attempting to stave off deflation, which is a death spiral.
294
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Which, I don't know how we avoid it. I guess we're trying to outgrow it with people and a printing press. Borders wide open, people coming in, streaming in, and a printing press going.
295
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:24,000
You add alternative, what is it? Guaranteed minimum income, thank you.
296
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And you know, that's, you take a giant population, give them guaranteed minimum income, and boom, you stave off deflation by just stoking endless inflation.
297
00:32:46,000 --> 00:33:00,000
They sound like two sides of the same coin, the same death spiral. Heads or tails, it doesn't matter.
298
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,000
But here's how China's reacting internally to try and address the issue.
299
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:17,000
People in the banking sector are now saying, by the way, that they have to study or read four books of Xi Jinping per month, and then write reports on it.
300
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,000
If you think about it, China's economy right now is falling down, rolling down a hill, really.
301
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The last thing you want people to do is sit there reading stuff that's not relevant and then testing them on that.
302
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
So they have to sit down and have a test, and do they have to write essays about it?
303
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Yes, they have to write essays and then penalize, remove them and fine them for not doing that, but it has nothing to do with their banking performance.
304
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,000
And I think this is something people don't understand about Chinese companies, is the fining thing.
305
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Because this used to happen in the companies I used to work in as well, like for instance when I worked for the rapist in the rapist school.
306
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:00,000
If somebody was like a minute late, they would fine them, and by fine, I mean they deducted money from their salary.
307
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And the salaries are not big.
308
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Oh, they're bad in China.
309
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I think the salary for the receptionist there was something like 3,800 RMB a month.
310
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
500 bucks a month.
311
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
And the fine for being late a minute was 250 RMB.
312
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Whoa!
313
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:26,000
And they used to have a sheet where there would be basically a narc who sits there, and someone comes a minute late,
314
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
and they'd be like, write down their name and the time and all that, and then at the end of the month, that person loses money.
315
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Like if they didn't bow or something, or they didn't do something, if they wore their shirt a little wrong, or they didn't have their pin on,
316
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
because we used to have to wear these lapel pins there, right, which was stupid.
317
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
If you didn't have the lapel pin on, or it was skew or something, there's another fine.
318
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
So if you don't watch yourself, you could actually have no salary, or even negative salary.
319
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Some bank executives and business heads have to take around a third of their working time,
320
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
this is the important figure here, studying Xi Jinping thought, a third of their working time.
321
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
That's productivity, right?
322
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Which is already low in China.
323
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Joining activities and courses, or reading four books from Xi every month.
324
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
So is this not having an effect on foreign companies that are...
325
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Massively! Massively!
326
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
You think this is palatable to people that want to go bring investment?
327
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
The only people pushing for investment into China are bad people.
328
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Like Nike and Tesla and Apple.
329
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I don't know what Nike's situation is now.
330
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Yeah, so I think the thing that they're missing, or that they're at least not accentuating,
331
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:54,000
is what they're really talking about is that Chairman Xi has embarked on a process of re-education,
332
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
of mass re-education of the financial sector.
333
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And so, yeah, Xi doesn't care that they're careening off a cliff financially.
334
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
He's not interested in that.
335
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
He's not interested in a capitalist future.
336
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
He's interested in a communist future.
337
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
So do you think he cares?
338
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
He doesn't seem to care.
339
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
He's more interested in re-educating his population, getting them ready for the future that he has in mind for them,
340
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
which is nothing like what we have in mind for them, or for ourselves.
341
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:35,000
So that's the... that is the end of the China update.
342
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:45,000
But you know what? That really should take us to this.
343
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:52,000
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
344
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
We're there. And we're there in like 35 minutes.
345
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
It's amazing.
346
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000
This is when I get to tell you how it is we do business here on the Truth Bay Podcast,
347
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
because you might have noticed, no commercials, zero commercials.
348
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
We don't have any commercials, no corporate sponsors.
349
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
We have citizen sponsors, because if we were to have corporate sponsors,
350
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
there's absolutely no way we could talk about the things we do
351
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:23,000
and pontificate about different conspiracy theories, conspiracy facts.
352
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
We just wouldn't be able to do it if we had corporate sponsors.
353
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
We would lose those corporate sponsors right away.
354
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,000
So we have, we use the value for value model, which was pioneered,
355
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
invented and pioneered by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show.
356
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
You should be listening to their podcast after you listen to this podcast, only after.
357
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And the way that it works is if you think that you're getting value from what you're listening to,
358
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
if the work that I'm putting in, that Jeremy puts in when he's available,
359
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
the work that you're doing, that other producers are doing,
360
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,000
what you're listening to, if it's bringing value to you, if you feel like you're learning something,
361
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,000
maybe it's just helping you make sense of the world, then you're getting value.
362
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
And if you're getting value, we ask you to return value to the podcast.
363
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000
And the best way you can return value to the podcast is to share the show.
364
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Share the show. People you bump into. It happens to me.
365
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Recently, I had to have HVAC repaired in my house.
366
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
The HVAC guy comes over. We end up in conversation.
367
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
He ends up telling me about a podcast. I forget the name of it, and I haven't had a chance to listen to it,
368
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
but it sounded exactly like something I would be interested in.
369
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000
So the next thing I know, I'm telling him about the podcast that I'm interested in.
370
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:50,000
That's how it works. And when that opportunity arises, the Truthbait Podcast, Return Value, share the show.
371
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,000
That's how we grow. And the other way, the other incredibly important way, maybe it's also the most important way,
372
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
we're tied for the most important ways, is by sending in content.
373
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Truth at Truthbait.com. Truth at Truthbait.com. Truth at Truthbait.com.
374
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Write us, send us content, send us things that you see out there that are interesting to you.
375
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Send us clips that you see. Include timecode, include comments.
376
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
What is it that interests you about that content?
377
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
This is your show. A lot of what you're hearing is stuff that is sent in.
378
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Of course, it's also the things that I'm finding out there because I have special skills at finding this material
379
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000
and presenting it in a way that is completely unique and beneficial to everybody in the listening audience.
380
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:46,000
But the truth is that I could not possibly be doing this by myself, Jeremy, and I couldn't do this without you, our producers.
381
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:55,000
And so, you know, taking part, sending in content is of incredible value to the podcast.
382
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:03,000
And if you want to keep hearing this podcast, if it is of value, it requires you to take part.
383
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
And that is the end of that.
384
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I've decided to just start playing music segments, the music on either end of the segments.
385
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I feel like it gives a definition.
386
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000
I would rather have, you know, specific music for the end of the segments that's different than the beginning of the segments.
387
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000
But for now, that's what we're going to have to put up with.
388
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Let's go to...
389
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Oh, you know what? Like I said, let's see, I have an article about Ford
390
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:50,000
because I've covered this in previous episodes where Ford is just there losing their shirts,
391
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:58,000
dealing with, you know, moving over to their mostly electric fleet.
392
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And recently, here's the headline from Washington Free Beacon,
393
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Reality Check, Ford CEO Struggles to Charge EV During Road Trip.
394
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Wonderful. This article is hilarious.
395
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Let me read...let's see.
396
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Ford CEO Jim Fairley said he faced a reality check while attempting to charge his electric truck during a road trip across the American West,
397
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,000
an admission that comes as President Joe Biden spends billions to spur electric vehicle adoption.
398
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:46,000
He says, charging has been pretty challenging, adding that one stop took him 40 minutes to charge his truck battery, just 40 percent.
399
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
It was a really good reality check, the challenges of what our customers go through.
400
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Wow, congratulations. So that's really...they basically test the quality control of their vehicles and user experience
401
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
the same way Pfizer tests their vaccines. They just release it out into the public.
402
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And then eventually they go out and they see that actually if Ford were to...if Pfizer and Ford were to work really the same,
403
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Pfizer would eventually just like have all of their staff take the real shot and they would just start dropping dead and having strokes.
404
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Just like now Ford is having their people drive the electric cars and they can't charge them anywhere.
405
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:34,000
This is a really good business model these companies have. Let's see.
406
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Fairley's social media post gave insight into the hurdles associated with driving electric vehicles over long distances.
407
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:50,000
In one post, Farley asks his social media followers to share their experiences with charging on the road.
408
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And let's see, one user says, not the greatest, many slow, many broken chargers.
409
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000
The user said, let's see, Farley acknowledged in another post that finding a charging station wasn't always easy, telling one user
410
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
he had to go to multiple stations to find one that was available. And when he says one that was available,
411
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,000
is it that there's so much demand that there's lines for this or is it that they were offline?
412
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:27,000
He doesn't elaborate. This is where the whole thing turns completely absurd.
413
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,000
We may be talking about a car, but this is a complete train wreck, what has occurred here.
414
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Farley nonetheless praised other aspects of Ford's new F-150 Lightning, including its front end trunk.
415
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:47,000
He calls a frunk. First of all, he's not the one to invent the term frunk.
416
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Frunk has been there for a while. I'm pretty sure it's been there at least since Tesla.
417
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Porsche has had a frunk for years. The 911 has had a frunk forever.
418
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:07,000
This is what's praiseworthy of the truck, of the Ford F-150 Lightning.
419
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:22,000
I'm sure what every four by four pickup truck driving rural living American has been waiting for is the frunk.
420
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Finally, just the top of top of line praise.
421
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Let's see. Oh, he also enjoyed the community of EV drivers he met while waiting at charging stations.
422
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,000
The community all bonding over what a terrible experience it is.
423
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:47,000
The Ford CEO also displayed the trucks ability to power non-travel related tasks,
424
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:55,000
like helping jump a disabled individual's electric scooter and powering the inflation of a children's bounce house.
425
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:03,000
The idea that they're using the F-150 to charge a disabled individual's electric scooter,
426
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:14,000
so it basically is these terrible electric devices charging each other to keep each other alive.
427
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Yeah, I just thought that that went into complete insanity and also insane.
428
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Elon Musk. We've talked about this many times.
429
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:33,000
X, Twitter, Elon Musk, no savior. He is not a savior. He is no savior of free speech.
430
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:48,000
He is creating the West's version, the US version of, I forget the name of it, the Chinese app.
431
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Weibo? Is it Weibo? I forget the name of it.
432
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
But it's like the everything app. This is where your social credit score is going to be.
433
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
This is where you're going to buy everything. This is where you do all of your social media.
434
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,000
That's what he's trying to build. It's going to be a prison.
435
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,000
And this is all beginning to be confirmed. People are beginning to see the evidence is building up.
436
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Here's a headline from Revolver.
437
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Elon's new censorship chief was just unmasked and he's a double agent.
438
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000
We all held high hopes for Twitter when Elon Musk stepped in.
439
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,000
We didn't all have high hopes there, pal.
440
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,000
We all had high hopes for Twitter when Elon Musk stepped in and purchased the platform.
441
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
While his intentions seemed good, with his heart in the right place,
442
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,000
he's quickly discovering that America may not be as free as he thought she was.
443
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
When it comes down to it, the shots aren't being called by the Constitution,
444
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
but by woke companies like Apple, Amazon, and Chase.
445
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Sadly, that's why Twitter isn't turning into the bastion of free speech we had hoped for,
446
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
thanks to the crew who's taking over the helm.
447
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,000
And one of the biggest standouts is Aaron Rodricks,
448
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
a flaming liberal who's now heading up censorship.
449
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Here's what Mike Benz, the founder of Foundation for Freedom Online,
450
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
had to say about this, quote, double agent.
451
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:22,000
And he says, Mike Benz says, Twitter's current censorship recruiter Aaron Rodricks
452
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:29,000
promotes the most scandalous censorship agency in the federal government, DHS's CISA.
453
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,000
And he backs up CISA's head of MIS, DIS, and Malinformation subcommittee, Kate Starbird.
454
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:41,000
He's actively working against Musk's professed vision.
455
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Yeah, I'm not surprised one bit. This is what you can expect.
456
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Everybody should probably abandon X and move over to truth.
457
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
I think we're going to move our activity over to truth.
458
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,000
I don't know that we're going to depart Twitter entirely, but yeah, Twitter is...
459
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:10,000
X is an evil company. I believe it's an evil company.
460
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:18,000
So yeah, well, then there's Snow White, produced by Disney, also another evil company.
461
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
And they are making a lot of waves.
462
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
You know, I'm not sure that this is going to be bad for their box office,
463
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:35,000
because when you take into account Barbie was a complete social justice film,
464
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:41,000
and did gigantic business, record-breaking business.
465
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,000
So there's reason to believe that if...and Barbie was a terrible film,
466
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:52,000
just as a empirically filmmaking, as a poor piece of filmmaking, and did just tremendous business.
467
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:00,000
So why is there any reason to believe that even if Snow White, the live-action remake starring Gal Gadot,
468
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:05,000
who played Wonder Woman, and Rachel Ziegler, who you probably have not heard of,
469
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000
except for the clips that are being circulated right now for her comments about Snow White.
470
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:22,000
But she was apparently in...let's see, she was in a major box office failure, West Side Story.
471
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:28,000
That's right, the...didn't Steven Spielberg remake that film, and it was just a complete bomb.
472
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Yeah, Steven Spielberg, total disaster.
473
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:40,000
And Gal Gadot and Ziegler were being interviewed at a...
474
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,000
it looks like it was a Disney Expo, or some expo. What does it say? Does that say Disney? I can't read it.
475
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And some, I'm sure some entertainment junket.
476
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And they're being asked about the Snow White live-action remake,
477
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
and these comments went and made people nuts.
478
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,000
You said you were bringing a modern edge to it on stage. What do you mean by that?
479
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000
I just mean that it's no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that is...
480
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince.
481
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.
482
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be,
483
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,000
and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true.
484
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Uh...
485
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Why can't she be both?
486
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Why can't she be a leader who also wants and longs for true love?
487
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
You know, there's that saying, nobody on their deathbed wishes they had attended one more meeting.
488
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
No one. No. You wish you had spent more time with your loved ones.
489
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,000
And the premise here is that that is to be shunned.
490
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,000
She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.
491
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Why? Why not? Why shouldn't everybody be dreaming about true love?
492
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Love makes the world go round, and it's a small world after all.
493
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
No, no, no. Leadership makes the world go round.
494
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,000
It's pathetic.
495
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:29,000
I have to confess, I hope it does very well at the box office, but I just think it's...
496
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Oh, it's no good. Yes, you're not mistaken.
497
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:40,000
A short episode today. I'm on the road, so abbreviated episode.
498
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:46,000
But maybe you like that. Maybe we like the Truthbait podcast at under an hour.
499
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Let me know. Write me a truth at truthbait.com.
500
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Truth at truthbait.com. Let me know if you like me to speed through the show, do a shorter show.
501
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Maybe that's the thing to do when I don't have my friend Jeremy, my partner, Jeremy.
502
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Come back soon.
503
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Listen every Tuesday and Friday, where you will receive a new episode of the Truthbait podcast without fail.
504
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,000
To the best of our ability.
505
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Thank you everybody for listening. Thank you to everyone who wrote in.
506
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Thank you to Big Al and Joliet. And Janice in Arizona also wrote in.
507
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And a number of other people wrote in. I'm sorry that I started naming that because I now know I'm going to be leaving people off the list.
508
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:50,000
But thank you for writing in. You know who you are. And if you want a personal mention, just write in again and tell me you want a personal mention.
