A edição 2025 do tradicional torneio de tênis de Roland Garros chega ao fim neste domingo (8). Nos dias que antecederam a grande decisão, Gustavo Kuerten, tricampeão do Grand Slam francês, relembrou os melhores momentos que viveu no saibro das quadras de Paris. O ex-número 1 do mundo esteve no complexo de quadras de tênis para participar de um evento de uma cervejaria na semana passada, quando também conversou com exclusividade com a RFI e relembrou de momentos marcantes de sua vitoriosa carreira no tênis profissional.Na próxima quarta-feira (11), o segundo título de Guga em Roland Garros completa 25 anos. A disputa final da edição do ano 2000 do Grand Slam entre Gustavo Kuerten, então número 5 do mundo, e o sueco Magnus Norman, terceiro do ranking na época, foi uma das mais difíceis e dramáticas da carreira do brasileiro.A vitória por três sets a um, com parciais de 6/2, 6/3, 2/6 e 7/6, depois de três horas e 43 minutos de partida, continua viva na memória do tricampeão de Roland Garros. Guga recorda o momento que achou que o jogo tinha terminado, mas que precisou continuar em quadra.“Quanto ao bicampeonato, eu já começo a flutuar nos 11 match points contra o (Magnus) Norman. Foi uma partida interminável! Eu já imaginava o título na minha cabeça, já me via erguendo o troféu, já no vestiário… Até que, de repente, o juiz desce para a quadra e diz que foi ponto do sueco e eu tive de voltar para a quadra. Puxa, meu Deus do céu, será?”, conta Guga.O lance aconteceu no quarto set quando ele vencia por cinco games a quatro e tinha 40 a 15 na partida, faltando, naquele momento, apenas um ponto para conquistar o título.“Vencer pela segunda vez, no meu caso, foi incrível, pois a primeira foi completamente fora da curva, algo que não acontece. Foi uma tarefa difícil a ser alcançada, até me arrisco a dizer que foi mais delicada do que eu ter me transformado depois em número 1 do mundo. Então, aquele ponto foi custoso. Demorou mais ou menos uns 50 minutos desde o primeiro match point até o último. Mas, também, quando é mais salgado, fica mais saboroso, né?”, brinca Kuerten, que demonstrou muita alegria de poder retornar ao local do bicampeonato e celebrar mais uma vez.Guga no coração dos francesesGuga, que até hoje recebe o carinho da torcida francesa, disse que já voltou a Paris algumas vezes desde que se aposentou do tênis profissional, em 2008.“Sempre é algo especial nos anos que têm essas contagens, como acontece este ano que faz 25 anos do bicampeonato. Sempre é uma ocasião específica”, celebra o ex-número 1 do ranking.O maior tenista masculino da história do Brasil também recordou a conquista do título de 2001 em Roland Garros e um gesto que ficou eternizado, simbolizando o carinho e a paixão pelo tênis.“A gente trouxe a ideia do coração. Inclusive, agora, entregamos um presente para a Federação Francesa, que é uma maquete com o coração desenhado. Ficou linda! Então tudo isso, claro, me remete muito mais à emoção e àquele maior momento da minha carreira, que uniu sentimentos dentro da quadra. Mas no dia da partida com Michael Russell, eu desenhar aquele coração foi algo que me levou nas nuvens. Parecia que eu estava flutuado e jogando tênis, o que ficou muito fácil quando se é carregado pelas pessoas, pela torcida”, relata o atleta.Não só o Guga ficou nas nuvens, mas toda a torcida brasileira, que jamais esquece o coração que o catarinense desenhou com sua raquete no saibro de Roland Garros.

Michael Russell seemingly had it all - a successful family real estate business, every afforded opportunity, a happy and healthy family.  Unfortunately, his excessive lifestyle led to divorce, foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies and shame. It took the better part of a decade to fully turn it all around.  Those years in financial ruin felt like they would never end, it didn't just take time to rebuild, it also took a complete change in how he thought and acted. The rebuilding didn't really begin until the 7 year timeframe since discharge from bankruptcy had passed.  Filing bankruptcy felt like the only option at the time, but in hindsight and through the benefit of knowledge, there were many other paths that could have remedied his issues.  Once that very slow period of becoming financeable began, he looked at relationships with banks from a much wiser position.  As a result of filing bankruptcy, the full turn around took about 9 years to take hold and become something of a solid baseline to rebuild from. Since that time, he has redefined his career in real estate sales, investments and consulting; maintained what is close to a perfect credit rating and mended the relational struggles that came as a result of all the financial turmoil. Most rewarding in this process has been the mending of the relationships that became so torn as a result of all the struggle.Coming in a close second is the advising of others who find themselves in similar positions of uncertainty and financial distress – in exchange for nothing but a testimonial and a handshake agreement that should the property owner ever wish to sell, Michael is the person they trust to help them.Through simply paying it forward, Michael's preference is to help people avoid foreclosure, avoid bankruptcy AND remain in their home; this is the trifecta of perfection. With accountability, action and effort this trifecta is possible about 50% of the time. Michael is also the President/Owner of Century 21 Signature Properties, one of the original CENTURY 21 franchises in the country.  About 40% of the time, selling the property proves to be the only way to avoid foreclosure, Mike and CENTURY 21 have helped thousands of people do just that. In our podcast, Mike shares how he overcomes his struggles and how to overcome adversity and why those facing foreclosure should be taking every measure necessary to avoid being foreclosed on.  You Can Find Mike @: Website: https://hope4hardship.org/

What is it like to rebuild after a foreclosure, after a bankruptcy? What is the real cause of foreclosure, bankruptcy and financial distress? While we have talked about these topics before, this week's guest overcame all of it to form a non-profit that helps people who find themselves in this situation. This week, Shawn & George interview Michael Russell, with Hope 4 Harship, and also the President/Owner of Century 21 Signature Properties, one of the original CENTURY 21 franchises in the country. Hear Micheal's story about divorce, foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies, and how he overcame that financial distress. We talk about how banks really don't want to foreclose, and how they want to offer assistance (which may or may not be home retention).  We talk about partial claim mortgages, loan modifications, forbearances and the pros and cons of each.  We talk about judicial and non-judicial foreclosures and the differences between them.

The Imperial Sovereign Court of the State of Montana v. Knudsen, argued before Judges Johnnie B. Rawlinson, Danielle J. Forrest, and Jennifer Sung in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on June 4, 2024. Argued by Michael Russell (on behalf of Knudsen, et al.) and Constance Van Klay (on behalf of the Imperial Sovereign Court of the State of Montana, et al.). Description of the Case, from the Introduction to the Appellees' Answering Brief: It is clear what the Montana legislature meant to target through House Bill 359 (“HB 359”): drag. Legislators set their sights on drag because they believed—wrongly, and without evidence—that gender-nonconforming expression harms children. Obvious on the face of the law, their intent to stifle disfavored speech is proof enough that Plaintiffs likely will succeed on the merits of their First Amendment claim. Far less clear—indeed, impossible to determine—is the law's effect. Through HB 359, the legislature wildly overshot its mark, threatening draconian penalties against individuals, businesses, and organizations engaged in speech far beyond drag performances. As confusing as it is discriminatory, HB 359 is void for vagueness. HB 359 can withstand constitutional review only by both creating a new exception to the First Amendment for drag and ignoring the void for vagueness doctrine.

Michael crece sin tener un sitio para Dios en su vida. Desde muy joven comienza a meterse en el mundo del rock y crea una banda; fue un artista famoso de rock n'roll en los años 90. Estando un día en casa con sus padres, estaban viendo un vídeo sobre Medjugorje y él se quedó viéndolo con ellos. Al final de éste él les dijo que siendo ellos tan católicos por qué no iban allí. Más tarde, su padre acabó invitándole a ir con ellos a Medjugorje. Como "católico no practicante" esta peregrinación inesperada a Medjugorje cambió su vida. Durante esa primera visita, Michael recibió un mensaje escrito de una de las vidente del lugar de la aparición, Vicka, quien afirmó que el mensaje era para él de la Santísima Madre para que usara su talento y habilidades para traer a la gente de regreso a la fe. Una misión que no podía comprender ni aceptar fácilmente. Descubre toda su historia en «Cambio de Agujas»

We're diving deep into the matrix of the world's most influential figures and controversial events. First up, we're unraveling the mystery surrounding Elon Musk's recent move - naming a World Economic Forum executive as the new CEO of Twitter. A step completely In the wrong direction by someone who claims to be pro-free speech and anti-globalism. Next, we're pulling the curtain back on a shocking revelation - Musk's unexpected connection to the notorious Epstein-JP Morgan case. Switching gears, we'll dig into the explosive claim from a Fox News producer. Did Tucker Carlson really get ousted due to a Dominion settlement, and is the network now under the thumb of its advertisers? Then, we're heading to California, where a growing border crisis is being met with an unusual solution - extending unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants. We'll dissect this decision and its potential implications. Finally, we're exposing a disturbing event where the lines between adult and child entertainment are getting dangerously blurred. Prepare for an eye-opening discussion about RuPaul's DragCon and the shocking scenes that took place there.   All Links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams   Anti-Elite Apparel: https://antielite.club   Full Transcription:       Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening. Today on today's agenda, we are going to be discussing Elon Musk for several reasons. The first one being that he has named an executive chairman of the World Economic Forum as his new c e o. Now we've talked about in the past whether Elon Musk is a shill or is he the real deal? Was he buying Twitter to. Propagate and prop up free speech, or was he doing it to massively mine? The thoughts of billions of people all around the world so that he can implant a chip in your brain? Insert Neurolink here. So we will discuss that. And the second reason that we're going to be discussing Elon Musk is that. Elon Musk was named and subpoenaed in the Jeffrey Epstein, JP Morgan legal case, so we will discuss that as well. Now, next up on the agenda is going to be how a Fox News producer came out and said in a O'Keefe Media group, I'm still getting used to not saying Project Veritas, but in O'Keefe Media Group, omg. Um, which is a terrible logo in a terrible name, sorry, James O'Keefe. But, uh, came out and had a video where they leaked a Fox News producer saying that Tucker Carlson was ousted as a part of the Dominion settlement. The network is basically owned by its advertisers, a k a Pfizer, and big tech money. So we'll talk about that. And then California moves to give unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants as the border crisis grows. And then RuPaul's DragCon features twerking Teletubbies kids surrounded by sex toys. And half naked adults. It's really quite unbelievably horrifying. And if CPS was good for anything, which they aren't, and they just go after, you know, parents who don't vaccinate their children, uh, but instead they should be going after the parents. They should literally be standing at the door of these events and rounding up these children and taking them from these abusive parents. So all of that and more couple other articles we may or may not get to, but. First, I need you do one thing for me as we walk through this entertaining podcast together. The first thing is, if you are not subscribed, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. Takes two seconds out of your day while you're driving. Maybe for legal purposes, I will tell you not to do it, but. You can find two seconds in your day to give back. Make sure you know there's not too many things that you could do throughout your day that give you some good karma and it will come back around. I promise you. All you have to do is hit that subscribe button and if you have already subscribed, this might take you 10 seconds. Leave a five star review. Let me know your thoughts. Let me know your favorite parts of the podcast, and next week, well not, not even next week, in the next few days, also, we are going to be doing a interview with John F. Kennedy. Now, not Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, the one who got shot allegedly in the head through ai. So we've been discussing this. We did George Orwell last time. This time we are going to be interviewing John F. Kennedy on. Robert Kennedy's presidential bid and his assassination, his alleged hookup with Marilyn Monroe, some of the conspiracies surrounding whether or not she was killed because of the classified information that she knew or did not know about. So stick around, hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review and let's jump into it.      All right, so the very first thing that we're gonna discuss today is e. Musk's new Twitter, c e o Linda Ya Corino is a vaccine pushing pro mask, wearing world economic forum. Globalist executive chair on her LinkedIn of the World Economic Forum. She has been pushing vaccines, was pro mask, anti freedom of speech. If, if that tells you anything, this is quite puzzling. And even more puzzling when you go back to January 18th, where Elon Musk himself said, the World Economic Forum is increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and do not want. So why would you hire somebody from the exact place that you claim to hate? And if you know a little bit about Elon Musk background, the background of his mother, who is a very, very well connected individual, this starts to make a little bit of sense. So let's read this article. This comes from Out Kick and it says, Elon Musk, announcement of New Twitter, c e o, Linda Yao. Has many users asking, what are we doing on Friday? Musk announce that the former, former N B C Universal AD Executive would be the new CEO O for the social media platform. At first glance, the move makes sense. Musk is desperate to make money through advertising, and why not hire someone like Yak Orno who has legitimate ad experience? But there's much more to the story this writer says. I encourage you to please read all of the following to see the bigger picture of. That has even Musk staunchest supporters crying fel. It has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat. It is a much larger than, it is much larger than that, and shows blatant hypocrisy from the Tesla founder himself. It then quotes the tweet that I was talking about from 2018. Then it goes on to say, according to Linda Yak Caro's LinkedIn page, as well as her own tweets, she is a vaccine. Mandating pro mask wearing globalist, who is just as bad as it sounds. Her first red flag is that she is a member of the World Economic Forum. She is an executive chairman of the World Economics Task Force on Future Work and their media initiative. The World Economic People are the people who run the world and know that's not a conspiracy theory. Even Milam Musk himself tweeted his concerns about the World Economic Forum, and then he went and hired one of their top executives to be the c e O of Twitter. Here is Yaks LinkedIn page, which currently lists her from January in 2019 to present. What a interesting time to become a part of the World Economic Forum is, uh, they're an executive chair there. Prior to that, she was the former chairman of the Board and executive Board member of the Ad Council of M MSN B C, and then Yak Yak Carino, partnered with the business community as 20 21, 20 22 Ad Council chair with the White House and government agencies to create Covid 19 vaccination campaigns featuring Pope Francis and reaching over 200. Million Americans. Now, this isn't somebody digging into her background. This is something that she promotes immediately on her LinkedIn page on the World Academics, uh, website. They talk about the great reset, which is probably one of the scariest things we've ever seen, and encourages a new social contract that they want humans to all abide to, and it quotes it. Drawing from the vision, the vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the world Forums community is the Great Reset Initiative, has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honors the dignity of every human being. It says, these are the same people who want you to eat bugs. Same exact people, right? Right. On their website it says this, um, alright. Yao's vaccine push. During her years as chairman, chairman of the Ag Council Yerbo, that she partnered with the Biden administration, the CDC and government agencies to promote and market the Covid 19 vaccination campaign. Interesting. And from her own, the Twitter account, she says, so proud of this effort, Linda Ya Carino says hashtag get vaccinated and. The Covid collab at the Covid collab, uh, tags them. Our vaccination, vaccination education initiative is a massive, complex undertaking, but the goal is pretty simple. Getting vaccinated is the best way to back to get back to the moments that we all miss. Really love this powerful new work created in partnership with Pierre odell and the Covid collab. Wow, how disgusting. All right, then it goes on the show. More of her Bs. Then it talks about her on masks. Twitter, c e o is rumored to be Linda Yao. Uh, here. She tells you to mask up or pack up. And here is the video right here saying that. Let's see if we can get it on the mic here. That body. Lindy Aino here, class of 1980. We're not here to talk about that. We are here to talk about masking up or packing up. I promise you we're doing good so far. Just keep your distance, get your hands washed often, get tested often, and wear your mask. That'll get us closer and closer. To normal days, we are resilient. We are tough. Keep doing it and we'll be back at Beaver Stadium before you know it. Mask up or pack up. We're almost there. We are. What does that even mean? Mask up or pack up? Excuse me ma'am. Where would you like me to go? You won't even let me get on an airplane. Wha what? Mask up or pack up? What does that even mean? Uh, she also tweeted out that everyone needed to stay home and not go outside. No more stop and chat unless you use your phone. Stay at home, watch tv. Hashtag stop the spread. Wow. Wow. So why? Would he choose her? His whole campaign was running on freedom of speech, right? The entire reason he spent 43 billion or however many dollars on this agreement was because he claims was because he was about freedom of speech. But it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. And again, I've talked about this in the past. I've talked about whether or not. Elon Musk is a shill. Shill, meaning somebody hiding in plain sight and actually not on the side of the people. Uh, is he pretending to be on our side so that he can data mine every thought you ever have, and then eventually use it as data sets to implant chips and take advantage of the analytics and the algorithms that can hijack your thoughts Maybe. Maybe not, but it seems like far more maybe than maybe not. All right. Um, next thing about Elon Musk is that he was named in the Epstein. So Elon Musk was named in the Epstein, JP Morgan legal case. Epstein has since responded to this saying it's a politically motivated subpoena in that he is quote unquote, What is, where's the quote here? That Creon never advised me on anything whatsoever. He says, Elon Musk says, uh, Monday, and this comes from the post-millennial, that prosecutors in the US Virgin Islands attempted to subpoena him regarding alleged financial advice from Jeffrey Epstein, which were idiotic on so many levels he said. The US or Virgin Islands are apparently requested files from the Tesla c e o in relations to its lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase, which it wants to hold liable for profiting from sex trafficking acts committed by Epstein. The Virgin Islands is suing JP Morgan and and seeking to collect unspecified damages because it believes that the banking giant enabled recruiters of Epstein to pay victims and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of Epstein's trafficking enterprise. According to Fox News, the subpoena from the U S V I apparently is based on the assertion that Epstein referred Musk to JP Morgan as a client. However, Musk noted that Twitter that noted on Twitter that his company Tesla hasn't banked with JP Morgan in over 10 years after the banking giant let down the electric car maker. Since U S V I has made. Has been unable to serve Musk with the subpoena. They are looking to subpoena Tesla Inc. Instead in the tweet Monday night. Musk said this is idiotic on so many levels. He then gives some bullet points, one of them being, and we'll go directly to his Twitter where he says that Creon never advised me on anything whatsoever. Number two, the notion that I would need or listen to a financial vice from a dumb crook is absurd. And then next, that JP Morgan, let down Tesla 10 years ago, despite having Tesla's global commercial banking business, which we then withdrew, I have never forgiven them. So essentially his response is, eh, I don't think so. And then the next one is, I wouldn't take. Advice from a dumb crook, dumb crook, meaning the largest sex trafficker in history. Um, and then number three says, nah, we didn't really use JP Morgan Chase for the last 10 years. So there's really not a fundamentally sound argument from what he said here. But anyways, let's see if there's any good responses in the comment section. Thanks for responding. Instead of squashing the story, Anytime somebody needs money, all reliable, and there's a SpongeBob blame Elon Musk. Is that the case? Is that the case? I don't know. But all I know is I'm not named in any banking alleged, uh, lawsuits, uh, with Jeffrey Epstein, but according to an entire US island, Elon Musk is. So again, folks, keep your eyes open because you never know. Who is not on your side? All right. Next is going to be a video that came out from James O'Keefe in the O'Keefe Media Group. As I said earlier, omg, terrible logo, terrible name, has come out with its own undercover videos. This one coming from a Fox news producer who is caught on tape saying, Tucker Carlson was ousted as a part of the Dominion Settlement Network. Uh, in the Dominion settlement and the network was beholden to Pfizer and Big Tech Money. Now, let's go ahead and watch this video and see what he has to say here. You, the Dominion Company, 144 million to settle that million lawsuit. Oh, that was with, um, the Dominion Company. What happened with that? Like they gave him money. Part of it, they say it wasn't part of it, but we're learning that. Tucker getting fired was part of that. Tucker Getting fired was part of the Dominion lawsuit. It was part of the seller's media. You're beholden advertisers, right? Well, it's the pillow guy or it's brought you by Pfizer, right? It's like Yeah, it's big pharma. Yeah, which is crazy. Just like we would do all this stuff about covid vaccines like, and we're getting vitamin five. Which is crazy because, you know, we were getting paid and then promoting something that is now known to have serious side effects and killing people. Huh? So crazy. You really got away with that one. Ha. How are these people exi? How do these people exist? How do these people sleep at night? Like, how much were you making as a producer at Fox News? All right. Judging by his shirt, not enough. How, how much money was this guy making to completely submit all of your morals over to corporate entities? We're getting what, and we're getting money from Pfizer. Yeah. Well, I mean, big pharma, big tech. You know, you're talking about like the shady players, like your buddy Michael Russell, like that. He's the news crafting dominion's message. That's a whole story in and of itself. OMG News is obtained in diary footage of a Fox News producer talking about Tucker Carlson's departure, the Dominion settlement, and the influence that advertisers and pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer have. Over the Embattled Network, Fox News Media, America's News, and much more. 144 million to settle that million lawsuit. Oh, that was with, um, elected the Dominion Company. Yeah. How did, what, what, what happened with that? Like they gave them money. They weren't part of it. They say it wasn't part of it, but we're learning that. Tucker getting fired was part of that. Tucker getting fired was part of the Dominion lawsuit as part of the sale. So what that means is that they settled, right? It was like 750, whatever million dollars that they settled for. And during that negotiations, dominion stated that in order for them to settle. They would have to fire Tucker Carlson and essentially light their entire business on fire and completely put themselves into the ground. So one thing that, so let, let's take a little sidetrack here. Now that we know that every major news media company ever is going to eventually go under like c n and Fox News. Vice News, this is something that I couldn't tell you how happy I am about Vice News is filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In the, in the next segment of Go woke, go broke. Vice News has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and this is interesting. If you look at the background of Vice, if you think back to like the Times when they were on H B O documentaries and they were embedding themselves with biker gangs, smoking meth with them, and then. Partying with strippers at night to, to bring you true journalism all the way till now, where they're promoting trans ideology and sexualization of children. And literally every single article that comes out of Vice is just the most liberal, politically motivated bullshit that you've ever seen. So it's no surprise that Vice is filing bankruptcy, especially in the world where the belief in institutions and, and especially the largest names of them, like CNN and Fox News, which we're again, we're learning about right now as we speak. We know that they're bought and paid for by corporations, but Vice is now in negotiations with a company funded by George Soros. So, We probably should have seen that coming, but we knew that money was there all along, right? With when you go onto their website and you sift through all of the liberal bullshit that you see all of the like extremists left. This isn't like centrist. This isn't center left. This isn't like reasonable liberals who have some large amount of empathy and little amount of logic. Like we're, we're speaking about people who have B blue hair and children that. Our seven year old boys in blue tutus that they're taking to sex festivals like we're about to see here is who liked vice at this point, which is, again, sad because the journalism that came out of vice 10 years ago was like legit awesome gorilla style journalism, boots on the ground, like interesting, super interesting journalism. Some of the best like documentaries done by. Journalistic institutions has come out of Vice 10 years ago. So it was sad to see this transition, but now that I've seen it and now that I'm so far from ever caring about whatever happens to them based on the type of stuff that they push out, I'm happy. I'm happy to see that Vice News is finally bankruptcy, 100%. It brings me so much joy that Vice News filed bankruptcy. Anyways, let's move on. Here's the rest of the video. So did Tucker leave or did you guys part ways or? Tucker was ousted. Yeah, he was Ted. Well, he bought things that cost a lot of money. Cost the company a lot of money. Yeah. Part. He was gonna go after this whole thing about January 6th was he was an inside job and he went after this guy, Ray, he said, was an FBI agent on the inside who was right. Encouraged it, and they, who, who's gonna go on there? Air, what minutes? And the Murdoch. The other thing with Tucker that is interesting is everyone's a, so what he just said is that Tucker Carlson was going to refute the FBI informant slash provocateur Ray Abs. He was going to go on Fox News and refute what Ray Epps the Fed, who promoted and incited the January 6th insurrection. He was going to refute the things that this man said from his 60 minutes interview. The Ray A who is still walking around without any charges after saying, tomorrow we're going into the Capitol. That guy still walking around. Tucker Carlson was going to speak out and say, nah, you're a Fed. And this guy, Sean Langley was saying that the Murdochs were not happy about that and they couldn't let it happen. Everybody's afraid of losing so many, losing so many viewers of money, like last viewers of money. There are a bunch of advertisers that said, we're not gonna advertise that eight o'clock hour. So now that he's gone, they're starting to come back. Sean Fox and his insider says that not only Tucker's reporting on January 6th cost the network a lot of money and made the Murdochs unhappy. But Sean goes on to talk about the pressures of advertising and the influence of big pharma. On the embattled network? Yes, it's big pharma. Yeah. Which is crazy cuz like we do all this stuff about covid vaccines and we're getting money from Pfizer. We're getting what? When you say that we take money from Pfizer, what did you mean by that? No, he's calling and talking to them. Money from Pfizer. I think you're putting words in my mouth. You said quote and we're getting money from Pfizer. Yeah, well, I mean big pharma, big tech. Dude, you're describing to me like the nature of the narratives, right? Like we have BlackRock and Vanguard who own. Everybody. Yeah, right. They own Sienna, msnbc, Fox, you name it. That's what I was talking about, the self-censorship narrative. Corporate media. It's corporate media, and you're beholden to advertisers, BlackRock and Vanguard in your ear. They're like, you can only say up until this point of what the truth is, and then you have to start pushing propaganda. Good Morning America has brought to you by Pfizer. Was to do that. Yeah. It's across the board, kinda like that. Or you don't wanna piss off advertising. Sean also told us about his, but that's the thing is like, you don't want piss off advertisers, but the advertisers only care to the extent that you're getting them viewership and profitability and ROI on how much they're spending. So it, it's, it's not just profitability anymore. It's not like they're, they're, they will push things to the extent that they lose viewership, which means losing advertising spend, which means losing money. All of these news stations, all of these main news corporations are all propaganda arms for the regime. Right. And not the Biden regime. Not the Trump regime, obviously not the Trump regime, but just the regime in general, the, the current holders of power, right? The, which isn't the president, as we know, as we have this bumbling, fumbling, geriatric. Old man running our country, and by running, I mean stumbling through his words and being told where to go off of stage. But we know, we know now that it, it doesn't, it's not even about money anymore. It's not even about how many people you can get for viewerships, because if they, you know, what would be a bigger story? A big story would be that Pfizer came to Fox News and tried to motivate them to pull their conversations about vaccines. The big story would be that the FBI came to Robert Murdoch and said, you better not run that story. You better not let Tucker Carlson go on eight o'clock news and talk about Ray YPs. That would be a far bigger story to run if you were the news networks that the FBI came to us, or the the Murdochs, or the Black Rocks, and the Vanguards came to us and said, you cannot do this. In today's world, that would save face, that would improve viewership, which improves advertising spend because it's, it's just based on viewership. If you're advertising at eight o'clock, you're gonna have to spend more than if you're advertising at two o'clock, because there's more viewers. It all comes down to viewership. So the second that you realize that it's not about profitability anymore, it's the fact that Fox News, c n n, are propaganda arms for the elites. And it's not even the Biden administration, which is a joke, right? Biden is a political arm of the elites. Everything comes from those, those corporate entities, which come from the, the, the families who are the most rich families in the entire world, who get their rocks off on power. So this goes on to say, uh, a little bit about what we just read and listened to. So let's move on. Let's see what it says here. The video shows Langley discussing former bi White House employee Michael La Rosa, whose consulting consulting firm worked for Dominion. Someone who worked from the Biden White House was literally crafting the message for Dominion. He said, then he laid out the connections, so he left working for Joe Biden to start this PR firm, or worked for this firm whose sole client was Dominion doing their communications. It's like right from the White House to go work for Dominion. So it's like when you know those little moving parts, you are like everyone, everyone's shady left the White House to literally go take down the news outlet that was being unfavorable to his boss. And there you go. All right, so there is your update on the latest and greatest on Tucker Carlson. And by the way, if you didn't know, I'm sure you'd know him by now, but Tucker Carlson is now going to be starting a show directly on. In the name of Elon Musk, Elon Musk's Twitter platform, well formally I, Elon Musk Twitter platform, and now the World Economic Forums Twitter platform. So next up we have California moving to give unemployment benefits. So California is going to give unemployment benefits. This is what they're trying to do legally to illegal immigrants as border crisis grows. Imagine this. Imagine this. Imagine if you assaulted someone, right? You broke a law, you robbed somebody, you assaulted them. You did some egregious act that made you a felon, and now the government wants to pay you for it. They literally are going to give money. Unemployment benefits. You know why you're unemployed is because you're not here legally. You cannot get a green card. You could not pass go. You cannot collect $200 because you don't pay taxes. And the only reason you're here in the first place is that you started your career as an American. If we can call you that, by committing an illegal act, by migrating here illegally. So let's go ahead and read this again, coming from the post-millennial, which says, Democrat politicians in California have been considering a proposal that will grant illegal aliens residing in the state, the ability to receive unemployment benefits as Title 42 expired last week. Senator de Razo, who sponsored the bill lamented that illegal aliens continue to shut out. From California's economic success despite their work in industry such as agriculture, clothing, and construction, according to Fol, Fox News. Um, so let's see what Joe Biden has to say about this last one. Okay, last, uh, title 42. Um, is the United States ready for the surge of people that going to come across the border starting later this week? I spent, uh, um, I got close to an hour with, uh, with the Mexican president today. Uh, we're doing all we can. Uh, the answer is, uh, it remains to be seen. Uh, we've gotten overwhelming cooperation from Mexico. Uh, we also are in the process of setting up resi, uh, uh, offices in Columbia and other places where you can, where someone seeking a silent can go first. So, but it remains to be seen. It's gonna be chaotic for a while. And as an example, as I raised in the meeting when they said, well, we're gonna cut and no spending more money, So what the hell happens if you cut? If you're gonna cut people at the border, you're gonna cut agents to the border. We, no, we need more at the border, not less at the border. Last one, quote unquote, Joe Biden says, what was the quote? What did he say? And as an example, as I raised in the meeting, when they said, well, we're gonna cut and no spending more money, as I raised in the meeting when they said, You can, or someone seeking a asylum can go first, so, but it remains to be seen. It's gonna be chaotic for a while. The president of the United States just said it's gonna be chaotic for a while at our border. Well, you know why? Because you've gone three years now without doing anything about it. In fact, encouraging people to travel here illegally, encouraging it. It's so crazy if you go and watch any of these videos, like how many people are lined up with children in their hands, but also most of the time just like military aged men. And like, and that's a kind of like a, an insightful way to put it, right? Like, oh, you see the articles and military aged men because it, in, it, it, it gives the idea that these men are here to do harm. Well, How many of the last, I don't know, shootings that we've seen, how, how many times have we seen that it was an illegal immigrant? There's been like several shootings over the last several months that have come from somebody who is here illegally. Right? So who knows? You know, I'm, I'm not trying to instill the idea that all these guys are criminal militants, but you don't know, and that's the problem, right? When you go through it, the, the process legally, You know who this person is, where they came from, what their ties are. If they're a part of radical political organizations or I don't know, the cartel who's funding and operating all of these runs across the border. Probably a good thing to know. This goes on to say that weekly handouts will never got other governmental costs, so well, I skipped a step. So SB 2 27, also known as the Safety net for All Workers Act, will use state funds to give illegal aliens who claim to have no work. $300 a week lasting up to 20 weeks. So ya heard it here first folks? Well, not first because somebody else wrote this, but your tax dollars could go to paying $6,000 per illegal immigrant. Your tax dollars will now go to pay for somebody to commit a felonious act. I don't know if immigration, illegal immigration is felonious, um, but it sounds like a funny word and I will use it here. Weekly handouts, another governmental cost related to the legislation that are expected to run the state to 356 million total. Meanwhile, California is being stretched on its own funds and with the state budget deficit now at tens of billions of dollars, addressing the lack of funds on Friday, California Governor and Chief. Devil fricking Gavin Newsom just seems to me like he's just absolutely a demonn. You look at that man, and he looks like every, you know, super, you know, the TV show is supernatural. Like every supernatural demonn whose eyes turned black, Gavin Newsom, um, described it as a $31.5 billion challenge. That's. What their lack of funds is being referenced to this number is apparently far higher than expected, as Newsom predicted, than a budget proposal he put forth in January that the deficit would be around 10 billion less. Don't really care about the budget, um, and then starting to show some of the border situation. And anyways, uh, meanwhile, about 15,000 migrants were reportedly seen by the California side of the US Mexico border in Tijuana last week, occupying shelters, hotels, and even outdoor encampments in anticipation of Title 40 two's expiration. Wow. We are in for it folks.

RuPaul's DragCon features twerking tby tabbies kids surrounded by sex toys in half naked adults. All right, so this article goes on to say that RuPauls, and I'm not sure what it means by RuPauls, like they ran by that individual. Uh, DragCon hit Los Angeles, California this weekend bringing the popular drag queen television show to the public with a special kid zone for parents to leave their children during the event. What. The kids own featured a meet and greet with characters from the Children's Show, Teletubbies, who then joined the stage to dance with a drag queen. According to the National Review, this year, the convention is granting free admission for children under eight with each paid adult ticket. Although children under 16 are prevented from. The separately ticketed after hours events. It's not clear why underage attendees from age 16 to 17 are able to go to the after hours. That kind events. Yeah, that seems a little bit weird. Mainstream news media outlets like Reuters and N B C promoted the event as a friendly place for children in the Reuters video of one drag queen. Called Frisbee Jenkins. It's, it's wild to me. All of these names that people come up with, like, what was the name of the person from the Navy campaign was like, I don't know, it's like Crystal Frankenstein, like all these stupid names Frisbee. Like, oh, that's the name that you came up with and I'm supposed to trust you with my child. You had any name that you could have picked and you picked Frisbee. Anyways, I've met so many kids today. This drag queen said, whose eyes light up when they see drag, and it just goes to show they're trying to criminalize drag. They're trying to make drag queens out to be monsters. They're trying to make anyone who does drag out to be monsters and we're not monsters. You know, we're just celebrating our life in living out loud, and kids recognize that and they love it. So I think. Something like this is great for our community and it's great politically because why wouldn't we be able to come to an event and celebrate who we are? Wow. And this is a video coming from Reuters Twitter with a man with these big, huge old titties on the front of himself in a wild orange wig. Looking like he came out of, uh, what's that movie with, uh, Jennifer Lawrence in it, uh, hunger Games. Let's see this for you. Hi. Hi. Welcome to DragCon. Welcome to DragCon 2023. Um, I've met so many kids today whose eyes light up when they see drag, and it just goes to show that there's, you know, they're trying to criminalize drag. They're trying to make drag queens out to be monsters. Oh, they're trying to make anyone who does drag out to be monsters, and we're not monsters. You know, we just are celebrating our life and celebrating, uh, living out loud. And kids recognize that and they love it. So I think something like this is great for our community and it's great, um, politically, because why not? Why, why shouldn't we be able to come to an event and celebrate who we are? You know, it's a, it's a nice reassurance. I feel like right now we're leaving a very unsure time. Based on everything within the laws, et cetera, even with the Bud Light campaign. But I feel like right now, this is kind of a reassurance that we are here, we are queer, and we are here to say. So I feel like that's what the perfect meaning of DragCon is. You know? Oh my God. I'm sorry. If you would've saw what I just saw, you would've had the face that I just had, the people that they brought, and this is Reuters promoting this. The first person who said, I've seen so many children today is a man wearing a with a mustache and the fricking, oh my God. If you saw this man on the side of the road or the sidewalk and you were walking with your child, You would go to the other side of the street. You would never walk by this man. You would be so terrified for your child that you wouldn't even want them to see it. Your child would think that this person is a monster, is a monster. Oh, we're not monsters. Every single one of these people in this video looked like monsters. Don't tell me you're not monsters. And then dress with literal devil wings blacked out face and like demonn eyes. What? What, and this is the promotion of it. This should be the most positive aspects of this. And what they're promoting is these terrifying men dressing up with the crazy wigs and mustaches and devil wings and demonize, and you want me to trust my children in fricking. Drag social hour. Like how about no, to quote, uh, you know, Dr. Evil. Wow, that's horrifying. Like I didn't expect it to be like, and this is them promoting it. And there was other videos where they showed the teletubbies, they showed like all the, the dildos around that these children were walking past. It says, highlighting some of the inappropriate items being sold at the event. National Review wrote the conventions, exhibitors included spiked collared company, bitch Fist NYC Lubricant Company boy, butter in the flavor flavored, sorry, this just threw me for a loop. The flavored anal spray company. Holy water. Good Lord. The American Civil Liberties Union and the non-denominational Christ Chapel of the Valley. I wonder if holy water in the Christ Chapel of the Valley, that flavored anal spray company got together and, uh, did a collab at this drag show. Anyways, in fact, a journalist from right now views captured footage from the convention revealing the truly disturbing sites witnessed by children in attendance. Some clips from the right now views. Videos were uploaded to Twitter by Dr. Anastasia Maria Lupus, including the following shot of a man wearing prosthetic breasts with nipples visible through his shirt. Later. In the same video, a pair of women with toddlers can be seen trying to purchase a drag queen monopoly board game. Wow. Way to go. Good parenting to all of you. Oh my gosh. And what we're looking at is a man in a red lingerie with fake prosthetic breasts having photos taken of him. By another man in women's clothing next to a freakish. Oh my gosh. You look like a monster. You look like a monster. You can't tell me you're not literally big bird face. Like I'll just turn the sound off for you, but it's like walking around and Yeah, totally appropriate. Like the craziest thing is nobody would say anything to you, and there's literally a woman with a fricking toddler in her arms and a baby and a stroller walking right next to this man with prosthetic titties on the front of him. This is so wild because you could not do a damn, there could be people having sex in one of these booths and parents would still walk by it as if they're on some moral high ground from the parents who didn't bring their children to a drag show. It's so disgusting what these people are doing to their children, and like I said, like I said earlier, if CPS was worth fricking anything, they would be sitting at the door of these events. And taking the children from every single parent who walked in the door of this sex show and they were promoting Teletubbies there, like Teletubbies, and now there's a child here. How old are you? Um, no, she just, she just wanted to get today, so we're just having time. Oh, just for today? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Who, so who introduced you tried to this idea? The drag? Yeah. Um. I in drag and she kinda just like got into it. Oh. Cause I accidentally, accidentally, yeah. We have an accident. Yeah. From watching from you watching it. Yeah. Oh, sorry. You know, my child was watching me watching porn and all of a sudden now they're really into it. And so I dressed them up and took them to a porn convention. And now the next one is like, yeah. Wow. So many people just walking around in like the wildest, most sexualized outfits with infants and toddlers, like toddlers sitting right next to these booths. This is so disgusting. Oh my gosh. This comes from Dr. Anastasia Maria Lupus, RuPaul's 2023. DragCon in Los Angeles wouldn't be the same without a child in her pram, with a dick shaped sippy cup. Now, would it, are you kidding me? Wow. How like, This is child abuse. This is fricking child abuse, and there's nothing that's gonna be done about it. And these people think they're on some moral high ground for exposing their children to random, weird pedophile weirdos. Dear God, this is horrific. All right. There's so many clips of this man interviewing people, which is quite brilliant, I would say. Um, but you're not using Teletubbies at the show unless you're actively trying to like bring in children. And that's what they were trying to do. Now there's a full footage that you can go watch of this person going through and like recording all this, which is crazy. Uh, Literally examples after examples of child abuse. Horrific. Alright, let's move on. And last but not least today, the IRS removed the entire investigative team from Hunter Biden's probe per the Department of Justice request. So let's see if we can get some context on this and then, Go from there. This says the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS removed the entire investigative team working on the Hunter Biden case at the request of President Joe Biden's, department of Justice. A whistleblower told Congress on Monday the whistleblower has supervised the Hunter Biden investigation since 2020. Mark Leer and Tristan Levitt, attorneys from the whistleblower told Congress in the letter. Today the IRS criminal supervisory special agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing insensitive investigation as the high profile controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the DOJ last month. The whistleblower through LELE told, Congressional leaders that he wanted to come forward with information about preferential treatment in Hunter Biden's case and alleged to turn to General Ma Merrick Garland gave false testimony to Congress because he assured lawmakers that Delaware US attorney David Weiss has unilateral authority to make charging decisions. The post reported the attorney's letter went on to call the IRS's decisions to remove the investigative team clearly retaliatory. And here is a quick video. The silent majority is no. Mm, that's too long. All right, so another thing that I've heard about this is that the whistleblower on this, maybe not the same one that we're talking about here, but has gone missing. Like they cannot find the person who was, you know, Involved in speaking out against Hunter Biden than Joe Biden. Um, which is obviously, probably just as if not far more concerning knowing the history of people who speak out against the government and wind up disappearing. Uh, so not too much information on that, uh, yet cuz it just came out today, but, I guess I'm, I'm very zero. Part of me is surprised that they would pull all strings in this, but Marjorie Taylor Green has been just pushing out content after content, after content, calling out the Biden family, saying that the entire, almost the entire family from children up to his wife, Boes. His former, you know, his, his dead brother's ex-wife who is now his girlfriend. Uh, you know, and the way that he said that was hilarious. He said like, uh, the person who is. Uh, talking about it, um, speaking out at like some sort of press hearing. Said, oh, you know, was listing off all the people and he said, and, uh, Bo Biden's ex-wife or Hunter Biden's current girlfriend, whichever name you want to use there, if you know the background on that. Uh, he basically started screwing his dead brother's ex-wife as soon as he died. Uh, yeah, hunter Biden's not a good guy, which, Again, would alluded to the idea that maybe Joe Biden isn't either Marjorie Taylor Green. Go check out her Twitter posts, uh, that she's been posting a part of the, uh, hearings and investigation that they're doing against the Biden family. And then one more, let's see what we got here. Uh, Miller Light. Let's see. If we can get the info on this, uh right. Cool. Um, Miller Light slammed Miller Light posted a woke feminist ad apologizing for using Bikini Babes to sell beer. Cuz yes, sex doesn't sell. Uh, and let's see if we can actually find the video. Um, but probably not the idea. Probably a good idea that they pulled this. Isn't this so funny that we won? Right. The, the, the, the non-liberal crazies won this battle against Bud Light to the point where Bud Light was downgraded by Bazinga. Whatever the hell, the, how do you say that name is? Um, but basically a financial institution that grades companies based on their, their financial for their finances and, and reports. Um, but like I said before, they, we knew that once the numbers came out from Bud Light, they were just gonna be bleeding, uh, bleeding out consistently, um, over how much people they, they lost as customers over their stuff. So Miller Lights slammed over, woke feminist ad apologizing for using Bikini Babes to sell beer. Let's read this article says the Miller Light Beer brand has come under fire. Over Aoke ad apologizing for its past use of sexy models and bikinis to sell beer and the feminist eye campaign from last March being revisited in the wake of the Bud Light Boycott Miller Light hired comedian Alana Glazer to highlight women's roles in the history of beer making before turning her attention to so-called sexist ads featuring scantily clad models. Here's a little known fact. Women are where among the first to brew beer ever. Glazer says, adding centuries later. How did the industry pay homage to the founding mothers of beer? They put us in bikinis. It's time. Beer made it up to women. Yeah. Cuz a vast majority of your targeted market is beer drinkers are women. Um, so now Miller Light is on a mission, not just to clean up its own shit, but the whole beer industry shit. Glazer said, unveiling the company's bad shit to good shit campaign. Asking for old marketing materials, like ones featuring near naked women to be sent back to the beer giant for upcycling. What the fuck is that? So here's to women, because without us there would be no beer. Interesting. The cringe commercial stoked controversy on social media with many drawing comparisons to Bud Light's disastrous campaign with Transactivist. Dylan Mulvaney, which sparked one of the most successful boycotts in recent memory. Uh, why did all right, so it starts to go with some responses to this. I wanna see the actual ad. Uh, here's, they're losing the culture war. Here's, we are winning the culture war, and here's that same crap. About how this Bud Campaign is good. Experts say like a circular hiring squad, so losing 6 billion. And the average liquor distributor group saw in the numbers here is they're seeing orders in just a week go down at least 40% nationwide for Anheuser Busch products across the board and even higher numbers for Bud Light itself. So, So this article from CNN says, bud Light's Exclu inclusive ad campaigns are good for business experts. Say, company Xs introduces marketing campaigns that torches or touches on why a cultural issue, which some people oppose. So Group Z lashes out on social media, rinse, repeat. It happens again and again. Said CNN n Nike, and Social Justice Advocate. Colin Kaepernick, m and ms and female spoke candies and last week, bud Light is a parent company of Anheuser Busch. We're targeted by the singer of Kid Rock. And others. After partnering with Dylan Venia, transgender woman, the phrase, go woke, go broke. Employed by many conservatives on social media suggest that brands which employee include, yeah, we know what it means. For Bud Light in particular, reaching a new audience is crucial. I said Heiner che, the then vice president of marketing at Bud Light. Uh, so yeah, probably not good for business. Uh, cuz you had to fire everybody and you lost billions. Don't know if I would chalk that up to a business win. Oh, righty then. Um, so. That's what I got for you guys. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it. From the bottom of my warm, cuddly heart, you are amazing. You are awesome. Go out there. Be a good father. Be a good mother. Be a good friend. Be a good human. Stand up for the children. Don't bring your kid to drag shows. Crack a beer. Enjoy this life. I love ya. Have a good night. Slash day might not be the night where you're at, so have a good day. How about that?
