Harold Bradley, a long-time investment manager and chief investment officer, joins Julia La Roche on episode 77 to discuss why Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have distorted the role of equities markets in capital formation while posing systemic risks. Bradley has broad and deep experience in mutual funds, foundations and endowments, exchanges, and private equity partnerships, including venture capital and hedge funds. His experience also encompasses investments in farmland, metals and mining, futures and options, and a track record of successful engagement with venture-backed technology and FinTech companies, including W.R. Hambrecht's OpenIPO, Euronet Worldwide, StarMine Corp (sold to Reuters) and Archipelago, LLC (IPO). In 1982, Bradley introduced first of a kind cash-settled stock index futures contract in the Value Line Composite Index while at the Kansas City Board Trade before purchasing a membership and trading for five years on the floor. In 1988, he was hired at Twentieth Century, now American Century, as the first equity trader, and built a globally recognized trading operation over the next ten years. He was the lead portfolio manager of small-cap growth funds from 2003 to 2007. He was later appointed Chief Investment Officer of aggressive growth strategies before being named President of American Century Ventures in 1999, which invested $63 million in businesses likely to disrupt the mutual fund industry. From 2003 to 2007, he managed American Century Tomorrow and a team of software engineers and developers who used artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, inference engines, and pattern recognition to develop manager compliance systems and quantitative investment strategies for American Century growth mutual funds managing $10B. The American Century trading desk received global recognition as an innovator of electronic trading techniques and protocols, including the Financial Information Exchange (FIX) Protocol steering committee that created open source standards for order, trade and settlement instructions between investment firms, brokers and exchanges in global equities and foreign exchange trading. Throughout his career, Bradley delivered Congressional testimony on stock market regulation, electronic trading, soft dollars, decimalization of stock prices, and ETFs. As Chief Investment Officer of the Kauffman Foundation from 2007 to 2012, he co-authored a vital research paper with Robert Litan highlighting risks to market stability from lax regulation of ETFs. He also co-authored widely-cited papers on subpar venture capital fund returns, with recommended best practices. He's been interviewed by CNBC, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and others.

Arab leaders have welcomed the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad back into the Arab League at a summit in Saudi Arabia. Mr Assad called for a new phase in regional cooperation in his first speech at the League since Syria was suspended more than twelve years ago. That was in response to the Syrian president's brutal repression of pro-democracy protests. There's anger among many Syrians about Mr Assad's return to the Arab fold. One opposition activist told the BBC it was unforgiveable in light of his regime's record of torture, imprisonment and killings. Also in the programme: At the G7 summit, Russia faces further sanctions, including on its multi-billion dollar trade in diamonds; and we'll hear why New York City is sinking.

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits have jumped to a 1-1/2-year high, pointing to cracks in the labor market as demand slows, potentially giving the Federal Reserve room to halt further interest rate increases next month. With demand cooling, inflation pressures are subsiding. Data from the Labor Department indicates that producer prices rebounded modestly in April, leading to the smallest annual increase in wholesale inflation in more than two years.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news and determine the effect it will have on the economy as a whole.They discuss a Labor Department report showing that the consumer price index (CPI), which measures the cost of a broad swath of goods and services, increased 0.4% for the month, in line with the Dow Jones estimate.Chris and Saied look at comments from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon that markets will be gripped by panic as the U.S. approaches a possible default on its sovereign debt, calling the default "potentially catastrophic" for the country.They also offer some thoughts on a statement by New York Federal Reserve President John Williams, who cautioned that interest rate increases will take a while to work their way through the economy before inflation returns to an acceptable level.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:Why services inflation is really consumer discretionary spending more than anything else.Why housing prices are excluded from the Labor Department's CPI report.The odds of a Fed rate cut this year.Why the Fed's 'stress tests' for banks failed.And so much more...Resources:"Jamie Dimon warns panic will overtake markets as US approaches debt default" (CNBC via Instagram)"The family behind First Citizen's Bank is $1 billion richwer since SVB" (Bloomberg Business via Instagram)"AirBnB stock craters - founders lose $4 billion in one day" (Forbes via Instagram)"Inflation rate eases to 4.9% in April, less than expectations" (CNBC)"Wholesale prices rose just 0.2% in April, less than estimate as inflation pressures ease" (CNBC)"Fed's John Williams says rates could be increased if inflation doesn't come down" (CNBC)"Worries linger about financial stability following bank rescue, Fed report shows" (CNBC)"US weekly jobless claims hit 1-1/2-year high; inflation subsiding" (Reuters)

The economic historian and former trader Anne Murphy looks back at the Bank of England in the 18th century. In Virtuous Bankers she shows how a private institution became ‘a great engine of state' and central to Britain's economic and geopolitical power. Anne Murphy tells Adam Rutherford that both its inner workings and outer structure had to command the respect of the general public. Interest was a fact of life long before the involvement of central banks and goes back as far as ancient Mesopotamia. In Price of Time the financial historian and Reuters' commentator Edward Chancellor explores its long history and warns of the financial instability caused by years of low interest rates. Far from benefitting the majority of individuals, the ultra-low rates following the banking crash in 2008 have proved a boon for bankers, financiers and corporate stakeholders. After the crash, the businessman David Fishwick was concerned that few people or small businesses in his home town of Burnley could get access to credit. His challenge to the traditional high street banks was to set up his own banking enterprise which became Burnley Savings and Loans – a story told in a Channel 4 series and the film Bank of Dave (on Netflix). He argues for a return to banking as a means to serve and grow the local economy. Producer: Katy Hickman

It's Tuesday, May 9th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@theWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Oregon denied woman adoption over her Biblical view on sexuality Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Human Services for denying a Christian woman's right to adopt because she opposes homosexuality and transgenderism. Jessica Bates, a widow and single mom of five children, got in trouble in the adoption process for refusing to agree with the state policy which affirms sexual sins. ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs noted that, “Oregon's policy amounts to an ideological litmus test: people who hold secular or ‘progressive' views on sexual orientation and gender identity are eligible to participate in child welfare programs, while people of faith, with religiously- informed views, are disqualified because they don't agree with the state's orthodoxy.” Germany cracking down on homeschoolers again Germany cracked down on Christians who were homeschooling their children in the early 2000s.   But now, the German government has denied accreditation to a program produced by the Association for Decentralized Learning, reports CBN News. It's a part-time homeschool, part-time classroom approach. The administrative courts were concerned that “the students spend little time together during breaks and between lessons.”   This denial of accreditation comes despite the fact that the school has a record of  taking the “same examinations as those in public schools and maintaining above average grade points.”   Alliance Defending Freedom International is appealing the case to the European Court of Human Rights.  Uganda cracks down on homosexuality In other international news, the African nation of Uganda is moving towards stricter control on the sin of homosexual behavior, reports The Monitor. Among the new provisions is the requirement to report a homosexual crime when a child is involved. Failure to do so would result in five years in jail or a fine of about $3,000. Plus, the “knowing promotion” of homosexuality in Ugandan society could also result in a 20-year prison sentence.  Romans 13:4-5 reminds us that the civil magistrate “is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Montana's five new pro-life laws Montana's Republican Governor, Greg Gianforte, signed five pro-life bills into law last week, reports The Associated Press. The bills ban infanticide after birth as well as all abortions after viability. Sadly, mothers will still be permitted to kill their unborn babies under 24 weeks of age gestationally.   Also, they will have to pay for the killings themselves. The new legislation forbids the use of taxpayer money to kill babies in Montana.  Trump-era immigration restrictions about to be lifted This Thursday, Trump-era restrictions on immigration will be lifted.  The Biden administration anticipates about 13,000 illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. on a daily basis — or about 5,000,000 illegals a year. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has issued a "Texas Tactical Border Force” to ward off some of the inflow. ABBOTT:  “Texas is doing more than any state in the history of the United States of America to defend our border. That includes deploying up to 10,000 National Guard members and 1,200 Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers.” U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz reports record numbers this weekend including 26,382 apprehensions and 7,399 “got-aways” over the last three days. Between 2010 and 2020, the Border Patrol reported an average of about 1,400 arrests per day.  Double Texas tragedy As The Worldview reported on May 8th, a mass-murder at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas on Saturday left eight people dead — in what turned out to be the second most deadly mass shooting in 2023. Suspect Mauricio Garcia was shot by police.   Then, on Sunday morning, a driver plowed his SUV into a crowd of Venezuelans outside a migrant center in Brownsville, Texas, killing eight and wounding another 10 people, reports ABC News. Police have arrested suspect/driver George Alvarez in the rampage. Texas GOP Rep resigns over alleged affair with aide Also in Texas news, former Baptist pastor, and Texas GOP House Representative Bryan Slaton resigned from his position in the legislature after news surfaced concerning his alleged affair with a 19-year-old female staffer.  The House Committee on General Investigating had recommended his expulsion. Slaton was an advocate for abolishing abortion in Texas, and he had attempted a bill to make abortion punishable by death back in 2021. Proverbs 25:26 says, “A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.” Troubling inflation vs. solid precious metals And finally, it's been a bad year for inflation and everything else, except for silver and gold.   Silver is up 22% year over year, now at $25.60 per ounce.  Gold is up 8%, year-over-year, at $2,020 per ounce, reports Reuters. The NASDAQ Composite Index is down 11% year-over-year, and Bitcoin is down 21% year-over-year.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, May 9th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Two kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls rescued in Nigeria Last Friday, after more than nine years of captivity, two more Chibok schoolgirls have been rescued by Nigerian soldiers, reports International Christian Concern. Hauwa Maltha and Esther Marcus, who are now in their 20s, were forced into marriage with the Boko Haram Muslim terrorists who kidnapped them. Maltha revealed that she was forced to marry three terrorists during her nine-year captivity. She was eight months pregnant during her rescue and delivered a healthy baby boy on April 28. Christian communities within Chibok have been faced with ongoing persecution since 2014 when about 300 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram. The coronation of King Charles III On Saturday, King Charles III was officially coronated as Britain's reigning monarch at London's Westminster Abbey, reports Fox News. Beside him was his wife, Queen Camilla. The eldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was crowned on Saturday. The 74-year-old ascended to the throne upon the death of his mother, who died in September 2022 at the age of 96. Queen Elizabeth was Britain's longest-reigning monarch. Charles was proclaimed Britain's monarch two days later. The coronation was filled with pageantry and music. (sound of music) BOY: “Your Majesty, as children of the Kingdom of God, we welcome you in the name of the King of Kings.” KING CHARLES: “In His name, and after His example, I come not to be served, but to serve.” Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, led the oath. ARCHBISHOP WELBY:  “The coronation oath has stood for centuries, and is enshrined in law. Are you willing to take the oath?” KING CHARLES: “I am willing.” ARCHBISHOP WELBY: “Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, your other realms and the territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?” KING CHARLES: “I solemnly promise so to do.” ARCHBISHOP WELBY: “Will you, to your power, cause law and justice and mercy to be executed in all your judgments?” KING CHARLES: “I will.” ARCHBISHOP WELBY:  “Will you to the utmost of your power, maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain in the United Kingdom, the Protestant Reformed religion established by law?” KING CHARLES: “All this I promise to do. The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God.” WELBY: “God save the king!” PEOPLE: “God save the king!” [Watch the key points in the coronation and subsequent procession at C-SPAN where you can click on just the portions that interest you.] King Charles' request to let non-Christians lead prayer was overruled Two theological controversies arose out of the planning of the coronation. First, to the discomfort of Anglican church leaders, King Charles wanted four non-Christian religious leaders -- a Muslim, a Hindu, a Sikh, and a Jew -- to lead prayers at some point during the coronation Christian service in Westminster Abbey. Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby said, “The coronation is first and foremost an act of Christian worship.” And Gavin Ashenden, the former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, offered his analysis to CBN. ASHENDEN: “The order of service was delayed. And we're pretty sure it was delayed because Charles wanted a group of representatives of other faiths to lead the prayers. But there's a rule in the Church of England; it's part of the church's law, and it's backed up by Parliament's law, that to lead the liturgy in an Anglican church, you have to be a believing Anglican. So, there was a conflict. And it looks like Charles lost.” Instead of leading prayers, the Muslim, the Hindu, the Sikh, and the Jew  presented the king with four pieces of coronation regalia on page 9 of the Order of Service. [Those taking part are Most Venerable Bogoda Seelawimala (Buddhist), Lord Singh of Wimbledon, (Sikh), Radha Mohan das (a representative from a Hindu temple in Hertfordshire), Aliya Azam (Islam), and the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis (Judaism).] In Exodus 20:2-3, the one true God speaks with clarity. “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.” Defender of the Faith, Defender of Faith, or Defender of Thy Faith? The second theological controversy actually dates back to 1994. That's when Prince Charles had expressed an interest in changing the title of the ruling monarch, once he assumed the throne, from “Defender of the Faith” – meaning the Christian faith -- to “Defender of Faith,” a generic reference that would have been inclusive of any faith and thus terribly meaningless, reports EuroNews.com. Apparently, Archbishop Welby settled on the title of “Defender of Thy Faith,” referring to God's faith.  Candidly, that is an odd reference since God doesn't need to have faith in His own existence; we do. Listen for that phrase as Archbishop Welby opens the communion portion of King Charles' coronation service. WELBY: “It is right, and our bounden duty, that we should, at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, Oh Lord, Holy Father, Almighty Everlasting God, through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son, our Lord, who has, at this time, consecrated Thy servant, Charles, to be our king. That by the anointing of Thy grace, he may be the Defender of Thy faith and the protector of Thy people, that with him, we may learn the ways of service, compassion, and love. And that the good work that Thou has begin in him this day may be brought to completion in the day of Jesus Christ.” That last sentence is a clear reference to Philippians 1:6 which says, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Gunman at Texas mall killed 8, wounded 7 And finally, a gunman shot and killed eight people and wounded at least seven others at Allen Premium Outlets mall located 25 miles north of Dallas on Saturday, reports Reuters. EYEWITNESS #1: “It was at least 50 to 100 rounds. It was nonstop and there was nothing we could do. It was just terrible.” According to a DashCam video of the scene, the gunman, dressed in black, pulled up in a Grey Charger, opened his door, and just started firing on shoppers as they walked by the H&M store. Allen, Texas Police Chief Brian Harvey explained how the shooting came to an end. HARVEY: “At 3:36pm this afternoon, one of our officers was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall. He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, he engaged the suspect, and neutralized the suspect. He also then called for ambulances.” The attacker has been identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, who had been living with his parents until recently before he started staying at a motel nearby, reports NPR. Police found an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun at the scene after Garcia was killed. Steven Spainhouer, whose son worked at the H&M store at the scene of the shooting, said this. SPAINHOUER: “It was a warzone there. There is no other way to describe it. There's no way these people could have survived the assault of those weapons.” Please pray for God's strength and comfort for both the grieving families and the wounded survivors.

We will discuss that. We will also discuss the US Navy enlisting a drag queen as a digital ambassador to attract more. Recruits. Hmm. I can't believe I just said those words. Uh, the very next thing that we're gonna discuss is going to be a article that came out. There was a situation that happened in New York on a subway train that several people, lots of, lots of people are talking about this right now. Um, there was what seemingly was like, um, a drugged out, uh, homeless man who ended up getting put into a rear naked choke by some bystander. And that turned into him losing his life. So we'll discuss that and look at the details as that as well. Then what I wanna talk about a bit today too is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I want to get into some of the recent quotes that he's had, some of the things that he's said and some of the claims that he's made about what he would do if and when.

So there's that. There's our Protect the Children hoodie and more. All right, so without further ado, let's  jump. Intuit.          All right. The very first article that we're gonna discuss is coming from Reuters and it says, Russia believes the US was behind the Kremlin drone attack. In Kiev, what was believed to be an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin's life. Now I have my own thoughts about this. We'll get into this article in just a minute here, but if you saw the video on this, there was a video of this little flying object flying right over the Kremlin. Uh, and exploding. Right. A right on the flagpole. Right, right, right. On the very position of the building that you would have known that this was the Kremlin. Okay, so. I think it's an interesting idea here that this could have been a false flag. I absolutely think that this situation, I don't see any way anyhow, that a drone gets that close to that building with Vladimir Putin. In it. Okay. I also don't see how, and, and then what you see in this video is it flies towards this flagpole and then it just explodes in this tiny little explosion out of, you know, for nothing that you see in the air for any reason that it explodes, but it just randomly explodes right over the flag. Okay, so what some people are saying is they believe that it was a false flag attack, and I tend to agree with this, with the way that it all went down. I don't think that you're killing Vladimir Putin with a tiny little drone in their, you know, their, their capital building or their White House type building. Okay? Just, just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think that that's how you're going about that if you're Ukraine. Okay. Now, on the other side of that, He is blaming the United States and Ukraine for this, right, and saying that, you know, and, and some people believe that he's doing this. As a false flag in order to gain popular opinion. Um, that's coming up to their celebration day. I forget what the name of it is. Basically when they law or they won the war over Germany. Uh, I believe it's, what is it? Parade day or something like that. Um, but I believe that this, that that's what happened. I believe this was a false flag. Now, if it's not, you know, I don't think it changes the outcome very much. I think we're gonna see. Retaliation by Vladimir Putin in Russia as a result of this. I don't think that we'll see it against the United States, but. Could you imagine if they now start going after Zelensky specifically and targeting him? Right. And we all know Russia could level Ukraine in just a matter of minutes. Right? So it's so weird to me, right? We talk about how this war is going and, and how basically imagine getting in a fist fight with somebody, but only flicking them. That's, that's what this war seems like to me, right? There's allegedly been 20,000 or so Russians who have died. Uh, that's the claim by the United States anyways, but. It seems like we have the kitty gloves on, right? It seems like we, we, we, in this specific war that we're seeing play out with Ukraine, like they're not actually trying to destroy each other, and there's a reason for that, right? Vladimir Putin is trying to absorb Ukraine as his own. So he doesn't wanna just level the, the his, his own property according to him. And he also doesn't want to have, the citizens of Ukraine have so much disdain for him because of the blood loss, that they wouldn't have any allegiance to him if and when he takes over Ukraine. So we're seeing this weird little flicking war. Instead of punches being thrown, they're flicking each other's ear. Uh, and, and the way this war is going down is situations like this, right? So, so I think it's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't know what the ramifications are. There's gonna be, but, but I do believe that this was a false flag. I don't think the United States would go about assassinating President Putin. So let's go ahead and read this article, what the title of this article by Reuter says is, Moscow Says Us is Behind Kremlin Drone Attack, air Raid Siren sound in. It says, Russia said on Thursday that the United States was behind an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin aiming to kill Vladimir Putin. And as air raid sirens sounded again in Kiev as darkness fell following attacks the previous night. Residents who made their way to air raid shelters, told Reuters, they saw drones in the air. Ukrainian President, Zelensky speaking in a hog in the at in the hog. What the heck of the hell that is. After visiting the International Court of Justice, said, Putin must be brought to justice over the war in that Kiva would work to create a new tribunal for this purpose. Putin spokesperson, like he's just gonna create a tribunal. They're gonna find him guilty and then all of a sudden he's gonna be brought to justice. Like, what a vague thing to think. Uh, Putin spokesperson, Dimitri Peskov, without providing evidence said Ukraine had acted on us orders with the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin Citadel in the early hours of Wednesday. White House National Security spokesperson, John Kirby said Peskov was just lying and at the United States, neither encouraged nor enabled Ukraine to strike outside of its borders. So Vladimir Putin believes that the United States gave the order to Ukraine to have Vladimir Putin assassinated. So if that is true, like if that is true and the United States was providing the intelligence, which in this case if it's not a false flag, is very likely Ukraine itself and their vast intelligence network is probably not figuring out exactly where Vladimir Putin is. And we found out through the very last leak that the US has boots on the ground in Ukraine. We found that out. We know that. Right? So what would stop them from providing intelligence to show. Ukraine where to strike. Now again, I think it would be silly to do it with a drone and maybe it was just Ukraine's stupidity that thought they thought they would actually conduct it that way. But I don't see a place, I, I don't see a situation where this was done on US orders, but if y, if Vladimir Putin even just thinks that, then that's very dangerous for the United States. That could turn into, or at least give justification to, if it's not what he wanted to begin with, but could still just give justification for Putin to strike Ukraine heavier, go after zelensky, or even potentially attack the United States if somebody tried to kill you. Right? What, what, what, what type of, you know, response is warranted, especially if you believe there was a certain individual who did it. Why wouldn't you go after that person? In a political situation, right, so Kiev has also denied the involvement in the incident and says, which followed a string of blasts over the past weekend targeting freight trains and oil depots in Western Russian and Russian controlled kamia. Moscow blamed Ukraine for those as well. It says, attempts to disown this attack both in Kiev and in Washington are of course absolutely ridiculous. We know very well that decisions about such actions about such terrorist attacks are made, not in Kiev, but in Washington. Pescov told reporters, Pescov said, in the urgent investigation is underway, and that any response would be carefully considered imbalanced. Russia's foreign ministry said that the alleged drone attack must not go unanswered and showed Kiev had no desire to end the 15 month old war at the negotiating table. Russia has increasingly accused the United States of being direct participant in the war, intent on inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow. Yeah, of course. We, we, I don't think there's anybody who would disagree with that at this point. It says, Washington denies this and said that it's arming Kiev to defend itself and retake illegally seized land. So this article goes on and on. But that seems to be the gist of it, right? The White House responded. John Kirby, I believe the Secretary of Defense responded and made a statement surrounding this saying, we, we don't even know if we're gonna investigate this. I don't think we'll ever know who tried to assess and led Amir Putin. He said that they're, they're likely not to do an investigation. He said it definitely wasn't us, which of course, And maybe it wasn't and maybe it was a false flag. So I still stick to that. I still believe that this was potentially a false flag if it was the US and if it was Ukraine that tried this. Then this was a very stupid way to go about trying to kill Vladimir Putin. There's probably much better situations or much, much better types of attacks that you could do instead of some over a flagpole. It just seems so specific to me that this blew up right in the position, like I said, right in the position where you would have known that it was this building. Seems kind of weird. All right. So let's move on. The next article says that the US Navy enlists a drag queen for digital ambassador role to attract more recruits. If there was going to be, to be fair, if there was going to be one branch of the military were a drag queen would likely bring on new recruits. It might be the Navy. Oh. But if we found out anything from the Bud Light campaign, I don't think this is the way, I don't think this is gonna work to bring in more military recruits unless they think that, you know, I, I knew some dudes when I was in the military that would've definitely tried anything that, you know, moved at some of the strip clubs that they went to, uh, uh, by base, but beside the point. I don't know. Let's read this article. I have no context on this, so I just saw this, uh, it says the, the Department of Defense wonders why, uh, it says that the Navy has recruited a squadron administrator and drag queen using the name Heartbeat Daniels to be their new digital ambassador. The Post is designed to inspire more civilians to join the Navy, is that who we really want defending our nation is people who are inspired by men wearing women's clothes, wigs, and doing sexual dances. Is that who we really want? Picking up arms and defending our children? I don't think it is. I don't think so. Not maybe. Maybe I'm, I'm the only one, but I doubt it. Uh, so. This is from Libs of TikTok, hired this non-binary drag queen as a digital ambassador to try to recruit people. Let's see this video. So it's a, a reel. I don't think there's any, uh, let's see if I get any volume here. Nope, no volume on this. So it seems like there should be though. It says the US Navy hired this non-binary drag queen as a digital ambassador. Uh, It's a video of this man who pulls up a jean jacket and turns into a woman. Ugly. Both times by the way, was not much of an improvement. Just a lot of eye makeup says this navy sailor is also a drag queen. And then there's a video of him wearing a large wig, blowing kisses, smiling like anybody cares about him. Says 24 year old Joshua Kelly performs under the alter ego of Harpe Daniels. I wonder why I'm not getting volume on this while serving as his squadron's administrative supervisor. Kelly shows in a big, ridiculous child cheerleader type bow. In the middle of his silly head, it says, Kelly shows are a part of lip sync competitions and that are designed to boost more morale. Kelly hopes to inspire people all over the world to appropriate women's culture too, and show that you can serve your country and still have a mental disorder. Wow. Um, it doesn't say have a mental disorder. It said be yourself but yourself is not that. Okay. So how ridiculous. How ridiculous. And we, we knew it was gonna get to this point. Right. And you have to understand like, what, what better way. What better way to attack a country than, and, and, and belittle it's military capabilities. And you even have to think, like, think of your grandparents, think of your parents, and then, and then think of gen, gen Z, right? Think of those little kids who are doing TikTok dances and, and you know, all of the things that you think of when Gen Z comes up into your mind. Think of those are the people and the only people who get to defend our country. Now think of the, that you, you, you make 30% of the people defending our country are as non-binary as, uh, you know, some sort of LGBTQ plus part of the, it's like, okay, men with inherently feminine characteristics are not the person, not the people that you want defending you. Like if, if I'm outside of a bar and about to get in a fistfight with a bunch of other guys, Which may or may not have happened in my life several times. Um, I'm, I'm not immediately pointing to the drag queen or the, the trans man who thinks he's a woman or the, you know, flamboyantly gay person outside of the gay bar and immediately asking them to jump in and defend me. Like there's, there's probably a. Few other people I'm gonna point in the direction of in that situation. Uh, this says that, uh, the attempted woke ation of the US Armed Service is a growing trend with military brass defending the teachings of critical race theory among officers in nu numerous recruitment ads depicting far left concepts. Uh, here is a training video from the Navy featuring two engineers from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center explaining the use of pronouns, gender neutral language in how to be a good ally to L G B T community. Say, Hey everyone, or Hey, team. Yeah. And now that you say that, another way that we could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails, or like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns. But what would I do if I, uh, misgender someone? I think the first thing to recognize is that it's not the end of the world. You correct yourself and move on, or you accept the correction and move on. The most important thing I can tell you is do not put the burden of making you feel good about your mistake on the person that you just misgendered. Oh, thank you for telling me that. Yeah. In another take. Oh, thank you for telling me, for you to remember their, uh, pronoun. Next time it's in your mind. Kind of go through a progression of. Three good things about the person using their pronouns. So let's say the person chooses to use day day, then you will in your mind go, they have a nice shirt, they have a nice smile. They are really smart. So that kind of sticks in your brain. That is so helpful. Um, oh my gosh. Thank you. I wanna know what would I do if I want to know someone's gender identity or a pronoun? The most important, maybe look at them and see, is that a man or is that a woman? Oh, and let's not forget the Army's social justice advertising from, what was it? I think last year, the year before, there's this video, which was a recruitment ad. It begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms. Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality. I like to think I've been defending freedom from an early age. When I was six years old, one of my moms had an accident. They left her paralyzed. Doctor said she might never walk again, but she tapped into my family's pride to get back on her feet. Eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom with such powerful role models. I finished high school at the top of my class and then attended uc Davis while I joined a sorority full of other strong women. But as graduation approached, I began feeling like I'd been handed so much in life. A sorority girl stereotype. Sure I'd spent my life around inspiring women, but what had I really achieved on my own? One of my sorority sisters was studying abroad in Italy. Another was climbing Mount Everest. I needed my own adventures, my own challenge, and after meeting with an Army recruiter, I found it a way to prove my inner strength and maybe shatter some stereotypes along the way. I am US Army Corporal Emma Malone Lord, and I answered my calling and my mom's a lesbian, like, who cares? Just go serve in the military. It doesn't need to be this big outreach campaign. Like literally, you know, one question I never asked anybody in bootcamp. Is, were your parents gay? That was probably the last thing on my mind, sitting in San Antonio in a tent during Beast Week. Uh, so let's watch this last one, which is Humans of the cia, and then we'll move on. Articulated so beautifully how I felt as a daughter of immigrants then and now. Nothing about me was or is tragic. I am perfectly made. I can wax eloquent on complex legal issues in English while also belting in Spanish. I can change a diaper with one hand and console a crying toddler with the other. I'm a woman of color. I am a mom. I am a cisgender. Okay. Wow, that just took a turn right as I paused it, so we'll have to go back. But I call bullshit. First of all, there's no way that you're changing a diaper with one hand unless your child is a fricking newborn. I promise you. There's no way you're child changing a diaper of a child with one hand while also holding a toddler. I, I call bullshit. But let's hear about this woman's sexuality first before we figure out how, if she's qualified for the cia. I am a mom. I am a cisgender millennial who's been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box checking exercise. I am a walking declaration. A woman whose inflection does not rise at the end of her sentences suggesting that a question has been asked. I did not sneak into cia. My employment was not and is not the result of a fluke or slipped through the crack. I earned my way in and I earned my way up the ranks of this organization. I am educated, qualified, and competent, and sometimes I struggle. I struggle feeling like I could do more, be more to my two sons, and I struggle leaving the office when I feel there's so much more to do. I used to struggle with imposter syndrome, but at 30, and if you too are a cisgendered Hispanic individual who is intersectional with generalized anxiety disorder, you too can join the C I a Crickets. Hey, I bet you didn't know we had that function over here. All right, so there are some woke advertisements. The Navy claims that the D I A or D E I, diversity, equity inclusion initiatives are not hurting recruitment yet. Interest in military service continues to plummet in the wake of the woke shift. The repellent nature of leftist branding efforts in the military should be obvious. In the past, the majority of these vol, those volunteering for military service have always been conservative or independent. With only 29% of current serving, identifying as Democrats, leftists have long been widely opposed to military participation in general, even though ironically, the Democrats are now becoming the prominent party of war when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. Situation. Says they want America going to war. They just don't wanna be forced to go and fight those war themselves. All right. Another factor in this mindset is the average left leftist. It is a philosophy that lends itself to weakness, entitlement, and often mental illness. This article says, how dare you, uh, making training goals difficult or impossible? Over 42% of Gen Z have been diagnosed with at least one mental health condition. Wow. That's a pretty crazy statistic. And that statistic comes from. Psychology Psychol psychiatrist.com. Hmm. 42% of Gen Zs diagnosed with a mental health condition. Wow. That's a wild statistic. All right. Um, many businesses are now more likely to reject applications from job seekers that use prof preferred pronouns in their resumes. These people are far more trouble than they are worth. Yeah. So that's the Navy trying to recruit people with a drag queen and the history of wokeness in our military and secret, uh, or, or, you know, shadow organizations like the cia. Uh, how's that going for you guys? Because last I heard there was a crazy recruitment situation where they basically dropped all physical requirements, like basically the entirety of the PT situation. I, I forget what it was. I believe I talked about it here, but it was like the BMI went away, that you had to qualify under the, the training, uh, the, the PT distinctions, like the type of PT training you had to do went away. The, um, it, it's wild. So no surprises. I mean, I'm guess I'm a little surprised by this, but I guess I shouldn't be. Uh, so let's move on. Now. I did see this article. I. Which was a little alarming when I first read it, but, um, but I'll, you'll, you'll hear it explained in just a second. Um, Putin sets fire to a compound outside of Kiev full of women and children burning them all alive. Oh wait, just kidding. That was the FBI and the atf and that's what they did to the citizens in Waco, Texas. Right. I think we came up on the, uh, anniversary of that just a few weeks ago and it's, it's such a tragic story. It's so cra it's one of the wildest stories in American history that that's actually what happened in this standoff in Waco. The A TF and the F B I lit fire to a building killing women and children. Yet, if we heard of that about Vladimir Putin, there would be calls for war across the board. Not war like we have it now, but troops on the ground from the United States with American flag patches on their shoulders that would be infiltrating and, and and killing Russians. That's what would be happening if this happened there. But you know, The, the, the, uh, I don't think the American washing of propaganda has turned the Waco Texas situation into a more of a documentary that people find interesting than an actual reality that they would believe is possible in today's world, which that was not that far ago. Uh, so anyways, I just thought that comparison was interesting. Um, and, and if that actually happened, what the actual response would be from American citizens, including myself. If we heard about that, there would be a serious, serious discussion surrounding whether or not somebody capable of doing something so horrific should be allowed to maintain this petty little war that they're having without serious consequences. But that wasn't Vladimir Putin, that was the fbi. That was Americans, as there's an American flag flying above the burning building that I'm looking at on this now. There was some responses to this on Reddit. It says there are no winners in that entire situation. I feel terrible for the innocent lives loss. They didn't deserve any of that. Somebody responded to that and said, I mean, the ATF could have been just apprehended to when he went for one of the routine jogs. Instead, the ATF decided to slaughter women and children. Uh, Let's see, biz Lane School Siege is, so somebody else commented, uh, an event where Russians killed more, went away. Um, more people then were held hostage. What does that mean? Hmm. Interesting. Um, this says that if you wanna learn more, you highly recommend the documentary Waco, the Rules of Engagement from 1997. The most horrifying part is that when they cut back and forth showing that the ATF claimed to be doing with the reality of what were actually happening. Hmm. So like what they were actually telling people on the outside comp compared to what they were actually doing. Uh, so that was the Bilan School Siege, an event where Russians killed more hostages than the terrorists. It says the Be somethings hospital raid, Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis, Bilan School Siege. If the Russian armed forces show up to a hostage crisis, you're in safer hands with the terrorists. I think I do remember hearing about that. Um, but anyway, somebody was recommending the documentary Waco, the Rules of Engagement for 1997. It's available on YouTube as well. Uh, the, it says they cut back and forth showing what the ATF claimed to be doing with the reality of, um, re the reality of what they were actually doing. That said the Putin headline has a really weird reach. Uh, Waco is horrifying enough without reading the attack or without needing to attach some. Odd anti Ukraine propaganda. Well, it just puts it in perspective. Uh, it says That didn't Putin gas and movie theater full of hostages or something. That's what they talked about before. Uh, but it was a traditional theater meant for plays. Uh, it says in all 131 people officially died out of 850 to 900 hostages with the majority of the hostages fatalities occurring. After exposure to the gas ster, the Russians government ped into the theater compromising a mixture of car fentanyl and Rema fentanyl. Fentanyl derivative. However, some estimates place the number of hostages killed far closer to 200 to 300. Wow. That's horrible. All right, moving on. But first, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review, head over to the Anti elite.club website, check out the gear, promote and help you boy out. Uh, get some some of the stuff, the, uh, stuff that I actually designed myself. So lemme know if you like it. Um, one of the ones that I kinda like about it was the, um, make Love Now Viruses. It's a tie-dye sweater, uh, with the Anti Elite Club logo monogram on the back. Um, but here's the deal and here's what the anti league club is about. Um, to me it's, it's all subtle, subtle designs that, that are made so that, you know what, what, what I see today in like the modern conservative, uh, libertarian, anything left of center is like, people generally suck at designing stuff. Um, for some reason there's very little creativity that's on that side of the spectrum. It's always like, uh, come get my guns bitch on the back of the car, truck with a sticker. Um, what I wanted to do was make something that I would be proud to wear, that I would wear out in public without drawing a ton of attention to myself, but also having a meaningful statement to it. So we have the Protect the Children hoodie, um, with the Anti Elite Club logo right on the top, back under the neck. Um, we have the Make Love Not Viruses sweater in a pretty sweet looking tie-dye. Um, we have the Pelosi capital hat, and then we have the George Soros actor or Crisis Actor Guild mug. So go check it out. Let me know your thoughts, support your boy. Uh, buy some shit. And I would appreciate it. Head over to the ck austin adams.ck.com, subscribe. We will be moving towards using that more in the future. Um, if you're on there right now and you're under, where the hell is the emails? I know, I hear you got a lot of shit going on in life, guys working on it. So, um, thank you for bearing with me. All right. Let's move on. The next situation is a horrific event that happened in the New York subway. Uh, let's read the article so we get some background, and I'll give you my thoughts on this. I, I have a fair amount of opinions on this and, and I, I've worn an opinion. I've trained martial arts for 11 years now. Since 2012. I trained Jiujitsu, uh, starting, and I, and you know, at some point, I'll tell you that story. It was kind of a cool, one of the coolest stories of my life is how I actually got into jujitsu. Um, But. Uh, that's kind of, you know, I don't know if we'll stay on track with that. So, um, basically, uh, what happened on this New York subway is that, uh, subway riders walk at the Broadway li uh, that's the picture. Um, the death of a man who was . Placed in a choke hold. He was put in a rear naked choke by a fellow passenger on a New York City subway train. Earlier this week has been ruled a homicide by the city's medical examiner as calls for the arrest and the incident have intensified. The deceased man identified as 30 year old Jordan Neely died on Monday from a compression of the neck while riding on the F train in Manhattan. The spokesperson for the medical examiner said on Thursday noting that homicide is not r a ruling, an intent, or culpability nearly according to media reports was homeless. It says A video of the incident that has circulated on social media showed an unidentified pass passenger applying a choke hold. It was a rear naked choke to a man identified as Neely on the floor of a subway for more than three minutes. Who, uh, two other men there are seen in the video restraining neely's arms before he went limp. Where I just cannot verify the authenticity of the video. It's real. I, you, I can tell you you don't want to. It's, it's really not that horrific to see, but it's like, it's pretty disgusting to watch this guy hold onto this rear naked choke for as long as he did. Um, Neely was known to impersonate Michael Jackson dressing and dancing like legendary music artists on New York, busy trains and stations. The altercation occurred after he boarded the train and began saying he was hungry and ready to die. The 24 year old former Marine who placed Neely in the choke hold was questioned by police and released on Monday. Local Remedi reported authorities have not released his name. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said, be investigating the incident by reviewing the medical examiner's report, viewing video and photo of footage of the altercation, and conducting interviews with witnesses. It also said it was examining Neely's medical records. The incident has led the calls for the man who put Neely into the choke hold to be arrested and for the city to do more for the homeless and those who are struggling with mental illness. Some have also claimed that race. Neely is black, and the man who choked him was white, had plays a, uh, plays a card in the city's handling of the case. Democratic US representatives, a o C, whose district includes neighborhoods in the New York City, boroughs of the Bronx, and the queens said Neely was murdered. Jordan was ho houseless and crying for food. In the time when the city is raising rents and stripping services, the murderer gets protected with passive headlines and no charges. New York City Mayor Eric Adams cited mental health issues is having a role in the incident, but he said he would profane com contaminating further while the investigation is underway. We did not know there were serious mental health issues at play here. Or we do know it says, um, noting that the administration has worked to care for homeless individuals and getting them off the streets, the subways. So I don't know what happened prior to this. It, there hasn't been a ton of information that I've seen personally about what happened prior to this. What I see when I watched this video is a guy seemingly who had. Very little training. You could tell by the way that he was doing this rear naked joke. He didn't have his hooks in there. There was, he wasn't restraining the, their guide properly. There. There's no reason that you should have to have two people hold somebody's arms while you choke this them unconscious if you know what you're doing. So, I personally believe this is murder, right? And maybe that's unpopular on this side of things and, and, and to be on the, you know, not, uh, uh, part of team a ooc. But I agree with a o c I agree with her. This may be the only time you ever hear that in my life. I believe this man was murdered. I do not think that there is any situation at all where you hold a rear naked choke for three full minutes. If that's how long it was, the video showed maybe 45 seconds or 30 seconds. I think what happened was atrocious. I think that the, the, if you are actually somebody who should be applying a, a, a rear naked choke, you should be able to constrain and restrain somebody properly, especially some crack head on a, a train without having to hold a, a rear naked choke for three straight minutes. I would never do that to somebody even if my, unless my life was in danger and you have a knife and you are actively trying to murder me, then yeah, maybe I'll hold it a little bit longer than if we were training in the gym. But if you, uh, if you are somebody who has engaged in combat, in, in combat sports, in jujitsu, in in M M A or you're a Marine who had a little bit of training enough to be able to restrain, you should have enough. Training if you're going to use that to restrain somebody without utilizing it that way, you know, when you choke somebody unconscious and when you choke somebody unconscious, you have about 30 seconds or so, maybe a little bit longer, maybe a little bit less, depending on the person. But generally, if you hold it and you keep holding it, that person's gonna die. You are restricting what, what they said there was like wrong. It said something about, um, his, what did it say? Um, there was no charges. I agree. Crazy. Um, what did they say? Something about restricting his air flow. Two men in the video restraining neely's arms before he went limp. Uh, the deceased man identified as 30 a spokesperson, said the medical examiner noting that homicide was not ruined the intent. Um, he was homeless. Where did it go? What did they say? I dunno what happens in a rear naked choke. What happens in any proper choke? There's not too many air chokes that you do to somebody where they stop them from breathing. What it does is there's two main arteries that run through your neck and you're stopping the blood flow from running through those main arteries. You stop these, this blood flow, your brain shuts off. You go to sleep if you continue to stop the blood flow for minutes at a time. That sleep turns into a permanent sleep, right? You kill somebody by holding a, a, a rear naked choke that long. Um, so this guy had no business holding that choke for as long as he didn't, unless the guy had a knife in his hand. If he had a knife in his hand, then I'm wrong. Right. If he had a gun in his, in his waistline, then maybe I'm wrong. If he was actively trying to stab somebody Yeah, sure. Make sure that he doesn't wake up. But unless your life or somebody else's life was an imminent danger, you don't, you do not hold a rear naked choke for three straight minutes in any situation. And when you feel somebody's body go limp, you let go. It's over. It's done. They might wake up in 10 to 15 seconds and then by that point you should have a better way of restraining them. But there's no situation where these two guys should have been holding his arms. I mean, it's, it's a pretty horrific situation, understanding what's going on here. Um, two guys holding somebody else's arms while another guy chokes him to death is like, not, not something that you want to. You wanna watch or be a part of? It's, it's pretty crazy. I think this guy should go to jail. I think this guy should actively be tried for murder. We should find out more about what was happening here. It doesn't seem like there was any evidence here that somebody's life was in imminent danger. All we heard about was this guy's homeless. So, yeah, I think they're going soft on this guy. Um, I don't know if that's due to his race. I don't know if that's due to the vi but with the video, it, it just doesn't make any sense to me why this guy continues to choke him. Um, so I, I think, unless there's something I'm missing here, This is horrific and it's murder. That's it. Um, don't apply that if, if you don't have the ability to, to know when to let go. And also, if you, if you are capable of applying that to a random citizen who's not fighting, who's not actively capable of fighting back properly, you should be able to restrain them without choking them to death. That, that's just my 2 cents. All right. Now last but not least, let's talk about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. So there's been a few different headlines. Now, I haven't looked into a ton about, um, Robert Kennedy jr's. Uh, like his policy stuff when it comes to be running as a Democrat, he is running as a Democrat on the Democratic ticket. But from what I've seen on several websites that have been pulling this, there's a good portion of people who are, who are, you know, right of center, who are very seriously considering voting for Robert Kennedy Jr. He is the demo, like the, the, the, the. Anybody and everybody who's been questioning this system, who's had the, the institutions crumble around them and their view perspective of them, of their authority, figures that are around us, like anybody and everybody who's had that same feeling that everybody that's probably listening to this has had, like the, the, the idea of institutions having our best interest in mind should definitely, in my opinion, consider looking into the policies of Robert Kennedy Jr. Um, he wrote the book, the Real Anthony Fauci, which I haven't personally read it, but a, according to the people that I know that have read it. It absolutely breaks down brilliantly. The reason that Anthony Fauci should be charged for crimes against humanity, like citations after citations after citations. Um, unfortunately, Robert F. Kennedy has this voice issue, which he got, you know, everything that you read about him says Anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy, anti-vaxxer, Robert F. Kennedy. But the reason he's anti-vax is because he got a vaccine and it destroyed his speaking ability. It should say vaccine victim, not anti-vaxxer. Right, so vaccine victim Robert F. Kennedy. Running for the Democratic Party has made several headlines recently, um, about his, what, what he said that he would do if he is elected. One of them being that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Said that he will pardon Julian Assange and Edward Snowden if he was elected president. Now that's some shit that I can get behind because when Trump left office and he did not pardon either of those men, it raised several questions in my mind. There's several things about Trump now. I voted for Trump both times, so I'm not a Trump hater. I all the way get the, get the fundamentals of why people voted for Trump, right? I get it a hundred percent. But I have questions guys. One of those questions being, why did Donald Trump push operation warp speed? Why did he still gloat to this day about the vaccine? Why were businesses being shut down right around the time that he was leaving office? Right, the lockdowns, he didn't speak out, uh, uh, adhere, uh, uh, uh, completely about those. He still gloats to this day about the vaccine coming out during his presidency and that he was the reason that the vaccine came out. Um, now that's another separate conversation about all the things that we're seeing with the vaccine coming out right now about, uh, you know, and all of the people that are literally dying. All around me like it's crazy how many people that I know who are extremely healthy, that are dealing with serious, serious adverse side effects, heart conditions, cardiology, like serious conditions where they're having to get heart surgeries and. There's no whisper of it. Why in the wo Okay, I I won't run through that tangent cuz Let's talk about Ron. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Um, but we'll jump into that a different day. All right. But he says that he would pardon Assange and Snowden if he's elected president, which I get behind 100%. That is a man who is willing to expose the truth. Now is he a man who's capable of getting elected is a different story, especially after you understand what happened to Bernie Sanders by the dnc, where he was, should have been the front runner, but there was emails leaked, literally showing that they do not allow the person with the most votes to be elected than the primaries. They just pick them out of exactly who they want to run. As we saw in those LE emails, the Clinton emails. Uh, anyways, let's see what, uh, some of that conversation says. Says, sadly, I firmly believe that if Snowden gets a pardon and returns to the US, the three letter agencies will have him assassinated. Probably very true. Uh, news, sadly, we found out that today, yeah, that we found out that Snowden cut his own head off with a box cutter, tragic stuff. Anyways. Next up, math is racist. Uh, says he should avoid convertible rides in Dallas between now and then, and yeah, there's some quotes about that, but yeah, there's probably a very little chance of him getting elected just based on the powers that be e even if you beli if you, if you believe in that kind of thing, you know, free and fair elections. Uh, but yeah, I, I, I see a very little chance where, They allow that to happen. But I, I would seriously consider looking into his policies and personally, I, I would consider looking into voting for him, depending on what, how, how democratic his policies are. Um, the next one that we'll look at by him says, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Oh, we're missing one here guys. Let's see. We got one more for ya. And it is, Uh, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says that mega billionaires are using climate change to usher in totalitarian controls on our society, right? So what he's talking about there is the carbon footprint. What he's talking about, there is a social credit score based on how much meat you ate that week. What he's talking about there is 15 minute cities. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says mega billionaires are using climate change. To usher in totalitarian controls in our society. So this comes from the Daily caller says, democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Said Friday that mega billionaires like Bill Gates are using climate change to implement totalitarian controls on society. Climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by, you know, the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all these big, you know, mega billionaires The same way that Covid was exploited, to use it as an excuse to clamp down totalitarian controls on society like Kennedy during a talk show. Hosted by Kim Iverson. Kim Iverson being the woman who I talked about last week, um, who about From the Hill, who was removed because she had something to say about vaccines, I believe. Um, but I actually liked Kim Iverson a lot. So, um, here's the clip. Um, where do you stand on climate policies that are being enacted right now? There is a difference between environmentalism and climate change. Where do you stand on all of that and what types of policies. Do you support or climate the climate, climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by, you know, the, the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all of these, uh, big, you know, mega billionaires the same way that Covid was exploited, uh, to use it as an excuse to clamp down, top-down totalitarian controls on society and to, um, and then to give us engineering solutions. And if you look closely, as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who, who, who own the ipss, the patents for those solutions. Oh, it's a way, you know, it's, they're, it's being used. They've given climate, uh, chaos, a bad name, you know, because people now see that it's just another crisis that's being used. Strip mine the wealth of the poor and to, you know, to enrich billionaires. And, uh, you know, I, I, for 40 years have had the same policy on climate and engineering. You can go check my speeches from the 1980s and I've said the most important solution for environmental issues, not top down controls. It's free market capitalism. So there you go. Maybe just baby. Give it a shot. Look into his policies. That's all I'm saying. Uh, but that is what I have for you guys today. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a wonderful day. I love you. Goodnight.
