2/14/23: White House Denies Aliens, Americans Told Evacuate Russia, New Houston Trail Derailment, Buttigieg Ignores Derailments, Kushner Saudi Billions, Ukraine Starlink, History of UFO Coverups, Brett Favre, Jeremy Corbell US UFO Lies, Nikki Haley 2024

Breakingpoints dot Com. Good morning, everybody, Happy Tuesday. We have an amazing show for everybody today. What do we have, Crystal? Indeed, we do lots of interesting stories unfolding this week. So first of all, we have a White House response on the latest with regards to these UFOs and whatever is going on. There also some really amazing excuses for why they've been unable to supposedly unable to retrieve any of the debris, So we'll break all of that down for you.

Also some warnings to Americans who are in Russia that they need to get out and get out now. Why is this coming at this moment? We will take a look at that. Also just breaking in the last several hours, another train derailment, this one outside of Houston. We have all of those details for you. Also, Pete Boodagiet, of course,

Secretary of Transportation continuing to fail at his job. New details about Jared Kushner and the way he cashed in on his government position, what that means going forward, Elon Musk and Starlink and Ukraine updates there. We also have Jeremy Corbel in the show to talk about what is going on with these UFOs as well and breaking this morning. Get excited, guys. Nikki Haley has officially launched for President Saga and I are going to take a look at

her announcement video React Live for your ful reaction. People made fun of us for saying twenty twenty four is fully upon us. What did I try to tell you? We tried to tell you all right, like fourteen, Yeah, exactly it is here. Let's start with UFOs, my personal favorite topic. Extraordinary conference yesterday at the White House with the Press Secretary of Carein Jean Pierre opening up the actual address to the press and saying that there is

no evidence of extraterrestrial life. Then you had John Kirby, the National Security spokesperson for the White House and for the Pentagon take the podium and deliver some more details about these three UFO incidents. Let's take a listen fully to what they said. There is no again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Wanted to make sure that the American

people knew that. All of you knew that, and it was important for us to say that from here because we've been hearing a lot about it. I'm not I'm just you know, I loved ET the movie, but I'm

just gonna leave it there. In light of the Chinese balloon program and this recent incursion into our airspace, the United States and Canada through NORD have been more closely scrutinizing that airspace, including enhancing our radar capabilities, which, as the commander of northcomon NORD, General Van Herk said just last night, may at least partially explain the increase and the objects that have been detected. There are no active tracks today, but the professionals at NORD will continue to

do their important work. We don't know what this exactly looked like. And again we're still not sure exactly what the purpose of it was or who owned it, but we hope to be able to find out more once we can recover the debrief from that one and from the other two as well. A couple of things that

we could take away from that. Number one, I'm just disgusted by my former colleagues in the press who are laughing at this, and it's like, look, yeah, I get that it sounds extraordinary, but shooting down three things for the first time in US history over US airspace is also extraordinary. Your job is to not laugh, but make it seriously at the very least, just you know, do your job. Maybe a follow up question, maybe ask the

questions we have seen. If you'll remember Crystal, the very first UFO report that came out, the press spun it as government finds no evidence of aliens. But you read it and it's like, yeah, but they didn't find any evidence that it's not. The evidence is they have no idea what's going on, And as you listen throughout that entire briefing, you're like, oh, they still have no clue. It's been more than seventy two hours now since the first UFO was shot down. We have no debris recovery,

no update on debris recovery. Yeah, allegedly, And we're going to get into some of that. And one of the reasons why is we've seen a flurry of leaks that have come out where you have Pentagon Canadian officials specifically, and the Pentagon who's having a briefing today actually just a couple of hours from when we're talking around right

now with all us senators. It's a classified briefing. The memo of that briefing has gone ahead and leaked, and what they say is they will they believe, at least in the Canadian instance, it was a small metallic balloon. So first of all, what does metallic balloon mean? Second, what basis do you have for that information? But when you read deeper the debris recovery efforts in all three of these cases, they are setting it up to look extraordinarily unlikely. And one of the other reasons why we

should be skeptical at least of this initial explanation. Again, here's the thing. I think it probably is likely balloons, but we can't just take them at their word for it. We have to go back to the original briefing of the NORAD commander that was during the Super Bowl, where he very specifically laid out I am not calling them balloons for a reason. I am calling them objects, and it was based on the initial description of these objects from the pilots themselves. Just take a listen to what

he said. Then, I'm not going to categorize them as balloons. We're calling them objects for a reason. Certainly the event off the South Carolina coasts for the Chinese spy balloon, that was clearly a balloon. These are objects. I am not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could be a gaseous type of balloon side of structure, or it could be some type of a propulsion system. But clearly they're able to stay aloft. I would be hesitant to urge you not to attribute it to any specific country.

We don't know. This is the big divide where we have here, this nora AD commander. He is the one who, frankly, has been the most honest. He was like, look, I'm not ruling out anything whenever it comes to aliens. He goes number one, number two, I'm not calling them balloons for a reason. People in a more classified setting have been trying to say that. But what we are watching right now is a concerted effort and all three debris recovery efforts to set the stage where they're like, look,

it's likely that we'll just never get them. So my personal favorite, which you found, was put us up there on the screen from the Detroit News representative Alissa Slopkin, who is a former CIA spook, just so you all know, she says that the shotdown object is likely in very deep water. And actually they change that headline because originally they said, well, the recovery of the shotdown an object in Lake Huron is hampered by quote choppy waters. Now I did go ahead and check because it did sound

pretty incredulous to me. There were some choppy waves out there on the lake yesterday. But they're keep changing their story. First it was, oh, well, the weather is bad in Alaska and the Yukon. Okay, you know that's reasonable, you know it's the winter, et cetera. But then all of us are checking the weather over Lake Huron. It's like forty eight degrees and sunny. So we're like, okay, well, are you gonna go out and get there? No? No,

now it's choppy waters. Like okay, now what so what about when the weather's not or when the water's not choppy. They're like, oh, but now it's a very very deep it's a deep water. You're like, oh, I was aware. I was under the impression that we spent eight hundred billion dollars a year on the US military and that you know that in the nineteen like sixties that we've literally floated up Russian submarines with Howard Hughes Like, I was just under, you know, the impression that we were

a competent nation. Excuse me, excuse me dealing with choppy water. Choppy water. Okay, maybe now here's the other thing. I read even deeper Crystal and the Canadian officials are now doing the same thing. So get this. The Canadian Defense Ministry put out a background statement last night and they were like, hey, look, you got to prepare yourself for we're never going to find this thing in the Yukon. And it's like, oh, okay, why and they're like, well,

the search radius is three thousand miles wide. Yeah, I agree. We shot it down, and we know where we shot it down could really have drifted three thousand miles. Okay, let's say, you know, what do we learned after nine to eleven, You know, with the whole when people were looking at the debris radius in terms of a couple hundred miles of reasonable but three thousand, why exactly is it three thousand? No, we know exactly when it went down.

And you know, once again, like I was under the impression, excuse me, of a very sophisticated military equipment which is capable of putting a hellfire missile literally in the passenger side of a car, something I've literally seen happen from my days of covering the defense industry. So for you know, that begs a little bit believe. But sec first of all, same thing he goes, you should prepare yourself for we may never find it. And then on the Alaska UFO,

it's the exact same thing. The weather is bad. I checked the weather is it's like freezing temperature in the Ileutian Islands. It's like thirty three degrees. It has been snowing, you know, undeniably like lower light conditions. Sure, but no, once again, we do have military assets to fly up there all the time. And you know, once like, don't we have unmanned assets, like can't you go and snap a picture with the Chinese balloon? We had a video

of it happening in the sky. Number one, Number two, within two hours, you had a video of people literally pulling it up. Already, DoD has released even more of what has come out from the Chinese balloon of navy divers and others who are recovering some of this. In all three now of the UFO cases, they say, no, they're preparing the ground for we're never going to find it. Then they want you to forget about it. I honestly

think that's what's happening. That's it. They want you to run out the clock so that people move on to whatever is next, and we forget about the fact that I mean, listen, if it was one you know, the one over the Aleutian Islands or whatever, and they're like, listen, it's tough out there. Okay, maybe, but all three after we literally just saw you have no trouble whatsoever getting the Chinese buy balloon. Like I'm sorry, I just don't believe it. I just don't believe it. The idea And listen,

I saw because you tweeted about the Alyssa's loot. Kids tell me hotering, and I saw kinds of people blow like you don't get it, like here on it really does get crazy. On there's like, okay, I believe you, but also really the United States military is unable to deal with choppy waters. I I just don't buy it.

I do not buy it. So I also think it's interesting that the one piece of information that they did allow to leak out, and make no mistake about it, it was allowed to leak out, is the piece from this memo about what they think the one over Alaska ultimately was, which is like the most like everybody calmed down,

it's just another balloon, nothing to see here. But again, if they knew these were all balloons, if they had specific information about what was going on here and it was, you know, nothing really to see here, some corporate balloon or whatever, which is something that they've floated that like some it could be some corporate company balloon or then why didn't the company come out and say it, Yeah, then I mean they would tell us that if it

was something that was as little or as insignificant as that. Ultimately, so I don't know what's going on, but I definitely know that we are not getting the full story of what they know and what they've been able to accomplish. It not even close. And let's put this up there on the screen for the next one. You know, we already have here x Norad commanders saying the UFOs are a quote concerted effort to test out outdated systems. He might be right, but the more important one is the headline.

We still have not recovered any debris from the three that were shot down over the weekend, and the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, actually talked about that on a trip. The audio is a little weird because he was speaking right outside of an airplane, but we're going to play it for you. Let's go and take a listen. Because we've not been able to definitively assess what these recent objects are. We've act that out of an abundance of

caution to protect the our security and interest. That's why we have teams working hard to track down the debris from over the weekend. Got teams working hard, but we still haven't been able to do it. Okay, maybe, and you know, some of the stuff that's coming out about these initial encounters are pretty crazy, let's go ahead and put this up there on the screen. So last night it broke from Lucas Tomlinson. He's a great Pentagon reporter.

I remember him for my days there. He says, quote, the US Air Force F sixteen that shot down the unknown object over lake here on yesterday missed on its first attempt. It's not clear where the first missile landed. A second sidewinder air to air missile was needed. Each Sidewinder AIM nine X costs over four hundred thousand dollars. So I asked some of my aviation geek friends about this, and there are a couple of things that we can learn.

Number one is the indication of using this missile means that the actual object had a heat signature, because apparently it can't lock on unless there's heats signature. Second, though they don't miss That's why we spend four hundred grand a missile on them. Do you believe have a heat signature? I don't know. So that was one of these I said, Well, they said depends if a propulsion system except okay, maybe that one was totally unclear, But really to me was well,

did it have the ability to maneuver away? From it, like did it dodge it? I mean, the whole point is we spend the equivalent of a house per missile, and we have one hundred and ten thousand of these missiles in our arsenal. By the way, why do we have them? Because they're very accurate. They go all the way back I believe until the nineteen fifties that we keep engineering for it's considered like the gold standard for

the US Air Force. And specifically the fact that they missed a lot of people were raising questions about that. They're like, wait, does that mean that? First of all, we remember that some of the pilots had talked about how the sensors were jammed. I don't know if people know this, but actively jamming radar is an act of war under our rules of engagement. So that means if that's what happened they said sensors and yes, necessarily use the word radar. But I am taking a lot of

interest here in these pilots. I looked it up. We spent six million dollars just to train the pilot. The aircraft itself, who knows, I mean tens of millions of dollars the aircraft is it costs thirty thousand dollars per flight hour and four hundred thousand per missile, Like these are sophisticated pieces of military equipment, and they don't miss all that often, specifically for this reason. So that's pretty extraordinary.

It's extraordinary that it missed. Could be human error, I mean could be, although you know, I think we spend house per missiles so that you don't have human error in these situations. All you really have to do is lock on and press a button. But I guess it technically could have been a misfire. But then why are we spending four hundred thousand dollars missile anyway, So I have a lot of questions about this one. I mean, I guess if I was going to try to get

into like you know, what the excuse could be. I remember before the Chinese by balloon was shot down, there was a lot of analysis of like, actually it's more complicated, like take down a balloon. You think it is because of the altitude and because it's a different size or whatever. Show maybe it's because these aren't designed to take down balloons.

That's maybe possible. But this whole portrait is either one of a gigantic cover up or just like an embarrassing display of mass incompetence and like revealing how you know, before Russia invaded Ukraine, are just like, oh my god, the Russian military whatever. And then once they did invade Ukraine, was like, yeah, this isn't all that. It was really correct up to be getting some of those vibes here.

It's either, like I said, either there's a lot that we're not being told, which I think is very possible, if not likely, or we are much less competent than what we think and what we ultimately portray to the world. It's one of those two things going on here. And by the way, combination of both. Yeah, that's true, too thin of both. I mean, one thing I know is that we are being spun as much as possible, and they are Look, without a doubt, I read you those

three separate quotes that they gave about debris recovery. They are setting it up so that it'll either be weeks before you get something or they're just gonna say that

we never found anything at all. My entire monologue today, by the way, is about the history of UFO cover ups, about Roswell and all that, and exactly why I am so skeptical in all of this, because the longer you wait and the longer you you know, have for them to possibly fabricate evidence, come up with a new story and all that, it's just like the early days of

many of the UFO. I wonder, you know how the explanation is, like, Okay, after the Chinese by balloon, then we recalibrated the radars so are more sensitive, and we're like looking at these higher altitudes, et cetera, and looking for things that are as small as a car. I wonder if they're going to recalibrate them so that they can just pretend like none of this is happening again, Like yeah, yeah, we're good. Have the whole point. That's exactly what you know you A few people have been

saying this whole time. They're like, you have no idea what's up there because you're not looking for it. It's like the you know there. I was reminded of the scene from The Hunt for Red October where there's the new submarine and the sonar system doesn't know how to code the submarine. They're like calling it deep sea noises because they'd never heard the noise before. So how is your equipment is only as good as you know to

what to look for. If you're not looking for anything, then you can say that you've never seen anything before. And then luckily they had human ingenuity as that character in the movie Jonesy, great character who was like, no, there's actually something else going on here. Well, we've had that now, we've read multiple Jonesy's and pilots and Ryan Grays and David Fraber and many others. A tic Tac Pilots. Well,

I believe he's on TV last night. All of these people are the highly sophisticated warfighters, people who've flown thousands and thousands of hours. Like you really, as Tom Rogan said, if you believe that they're mentally unsound to make up a UFO story, why did we leave them in charge of these highly expensive, multi hundred million dollar aircraft in charge of supporting US troops and bombing enemy Tartans. Completely

incredulous for us to believe that. I think the last thing that I would to say on this this morning is there's a lot of discussion of like, is this sosia to distract from something else, Traine derailment or whatever Ukraine, who knows. And the reason I don't think so is because I don't think they would do something that was like so embarrassing for it, Like this does not look

good for them. They're not enjoying this, Like it's humiliating they're having to pretend or potentially like I guess be honest about but I don't really buy it that they can't even get the debris from these things. And I have no idea what's going on, Like this has not been a good look for anyone in charge of the military or in this administration. So yeah, I think it's in competence. I think that the media would be happy to ignore the trained derailment and any other number of stories.

They do it all the time without needing some like giant UFO type sy up. So that's why I'm really not sort of buying that explanation for what's going on. Yeah, look, I personally think the most mid take on the internet is that this is all a syeop and it's largely because, as you said, like they hate that they have to do this, and by the way, they're going out of their way to try and keep it out of the news as possible to keep everybody calm down, which is all.

It fits very well with UFO history, of which I'll get into, So we'll leave it at that. Yeah, that's right, we'll leave it at that. But let's just say all of this is straight out of the playbook. Let's go ahead and move on to Ukraine. Some crazy news yesterday still I really don't know yet what to make of, but significant. Let's put this up there on the screen.

The US Embassy issued a flash to all American citizens in Russia with pretty stark language, quote, do not travel to Russia due to unpredictable consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. US citizens who live or travel in Russia must immediately leave the country. I think one of the extraordinary things about this advisory is not we advise US citizens to leave, It says must immediately leave the country.

That's one of the most stark warnings that I've ever seen from a US embassy and from a US consulate. And what was really crazy is that it was done in conjunction with a couple of other nations. Go and put the next one up there on the screen. The French did not go as far as we did, but they said, quote France strongly urges its citizens to leave Russia if their presence is quote non essential after the

invasion of Ukraine. The weird thing about this is that the invasion happened a year ago, so why are we urging them to leave right now. So there's a couple of indications of things that I've seen. Number one was that they possibly have received intelligence. Brazil also joined in on this, by the way, so you got France, Brazil in the US. So maybe they received indications that the Russian government, you know, after the whole Britney grinder situation,

was looking to take more hostages possible. But you know, I don't know why things would speed up now. Number two is maybe we're about to go do something there that might cause them to crack down or Ukrainian friends. Right. Did not escape me that the US and France or two the nations that actually are two nations that manufacture fighter jets. So yeah, that's not That's one that I'm

not necessarily putting away. The other one is just that the intelligence said is that a major Russian offensive is about to kick off, of which we brought everybody yesterday, and that in conjunction with that they anticipate retaliation against American citizens, possibly also civil unrest because we could have Russia possibly moving to a second draft. I'm not saying that's what's happening. I'm saying that these are all the

initial speculations that I've seen. But I mean, you know, they don't just say this every day, yeah, which is you must leave the country. I mean, I've never seen a country advisory like that. Yeah, I mean, we don't know what it means. Is just worth taking note of. And the things that we do know is it is widely expected that Russia is planning to mount a major offensive before Ukraine gets their hands on tanks, and as you know, spring starts to arrive in Ukraine, we know

that Russian shelling has actually ticked up up already. There's some speculation that that offensive has already begun, so you know, the expectation is and there's a reason also why Zelenski has taken this time to go to travel around to Western allies and ask for fighter jets in particular and longer arranged missiles, and to secure the tanks that have already been promised. So clearly there is an expectation that some major offensives are coming now, and maybe this relates

to that. Maybe this is about something else. There's no way to know before it all unfolds. Yeah, look, there's just it's an extraordinary situation. I think that that's probably where we'll leave it. Let's put this up there on the screen, and this could have some indication of it, which is that if you'll remember that city of Bakhmud, where President Zelenski visited and liberated right before he came to the United States and famously brought the flag of

liberation to the floor of the US Congress. Well, Ukraine actually just told AID groups yesterday USAD groups specifically, you need to leave. Nobody knows what that might mean, but it is likely a prelude to Ukrainian withdrawal. So AID groups and civilians are no longer allowed to enter the city. As of Monday, the military said that the fighting is continuing to intensify the strategic city in eastern Ukraine, of which the Russians are expected to mount an offensive on.

They said that the reason they wouldn't allow it was because of the danger that's going to be posed by street fighting and the ban on volunteer access has been in the past a pre lead to Ukrainian withdrawal. Ukrainian military sets No, we have retained control of the city. We can resupplier troops, we can evacuate our wounded, but well it's a precarious situation. Nonetheless, at the very least it is being contested, right Crystal. So that's what we

can that's what we can surmise. I think the message which really underscores the fact that this war unfortunately has a long way to go, and the fact that Ukraine you know, really unperformed expectations and you know, had a stunningly successful performance in the spring and summer offensive. No

guarantees for the future. Russia has had time now to incorporate those hundreds of thousands of troops that they called up before and send them into the front lines, and so you know, there's a fear that the dynamics could ultimately be shifting in real time right now. Yeah. Absolutely, Let's go to the second part here. It's pretty interesting. Let's put this up there on the screen. This has to do with Ukraine and its dealings with American financial institutions.

So here the headline is that Ukraine plots post war rebuilding effort with JP Morgan Chase as Is Advisors. So JP Morgan yesterday in a deal with the country of Ukraine, said that it is going to tap its debt, capital market operations, payments, and commercial banking, infrastructure investing expertise to help the country stabilize its economy and credit rating, manage its funds, and advance its digital adoption whatever that means.

What it really means, though, is that JP Morgan is going to work with Ukraine to raise private investment to help rebuild and invest for future growth in Ukraine, including quote renewable energy, agriculture and technology. So outside of the initial things that they say, the reason why I think it's important is that these major walls, street banks, they are seeing some real profit opportunity here in Ukraine. I mean, I don't know, this is a it's really disgusting to see.

But of course, you know, whenever you knockohole city down after the war, somebody's got to rebuild it, somebody's got to finance it. And it's not just the US government that's getting in on this. Also, Zelenski clearly sees this as a critical avenue. Not only would JP Morgan just yesterday he met with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund

to secure even more loans to the Ukrainian government. Right now, Jamie Diamond is saying that the Bank has led a twenty billion dollar debt restructure for Ukraine last year and has committed millions of dollars of support for Ukrainian refugees. But the reason why this is the prelude to possibly something much grosser and much more nefarious. Let's put this next one up there on the screen, is that we had a previous one we were going to cover back

in December, but it fits with this very importantly. Zelenski announced an alliance with Blackrock for reconstruction of Ukraine. Now that Blackrock Reconstruction was signed back in December with the CEO Larry Fink. Blackrock said that rebuilding Ukraine could take Crystal between seven to eight hundred billion dollars, and they're pointing specifically to the new partnership where they will advise the Ukrainian government on how to structure the country's reconstruction funds.

So you could see and opera, this is Iraq and Afghanistan levels of graft if they want it to be. I mean, they're getting their little hands in this one. I love the way they paint it, like their restructure. We're gonna help them raise Well, what's your fee? And also the reason why this matters to all of us is, look, Ukraine, they can do whatever they want, but here's the deal. They don't have a real economy. We're the ones who are paying all their bills. We're the ones who are

going to guarantee all of their debt. We are literally running their central bank and paying of they're balancing their budgets right now. We out American taxpayers will be the ones who are basically guaranteeing much of this debt. And how much money are they gonna make well off of all of these guarantees and these private investors they're guarantee in my company, Ukraine government that is a de facto bet on the United States government. So we're basically facilitating

a massive wealth transfer. Well, yeah, there's a lot going on here. Western capital has been circling Ukraine like vultures for years now. Even before this war, Ukraine already had a lot of debt with IMF. The IMF, of course, is like a tool of imposing you know, a shock doctrine and has already forced a bunch of changes to open up the economy so that Western capital could come in and profit off of their agriculture sector as one key example here, because Ukraine, of course known as the

bread basket of Europe and of the region. Ukraine is a country that you know, suffered almost more than any in struggled after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So there's long been a push to okay, any state owned enterprise is they need to be privatized. We need to open up markets to Western capital. So this is a more accelerated, more aggressive push in the same direction that they have been pushing for a long time to impose basically like neoliberal shock doctrine of the sort that we

have imposed in lots of places around the world. Zelenski actually gave a speech back at the end of January to the US National Association of State Chambers where he talked some about this approach and encouraging banks like Goldman, Sacks and JP Morgan to come and be part of this effort. He said, is already clear this will be the largest economic project of our time in Europe. It's obvious that American business can become the locomotive that will

once again push forward global economic growth. He went on to thank investment firms black Rock, Goldmen Sacks and JP Morgan. He says, and everyone can become a big business by working with Ukraine and all sectors from weapons and defense to construction, from communications to agriculture, from transport to it, from banks to medicine. And I invite you to work

with us right now. I think it's always important to keep an eye on the people who are profiting from a war and from disaster, and very clearly here the Titans of Wall Street are getting their hooks into Ukraine and hoping to make a big profit on the other side of this. And it's disgusting to watch it unfold. Yeah, it really is the whole thing. Look, we're going to watch it closely. Indeed, all right, something else we've been keeping a close eye on is what the hell is

going on with that train to railment in Ohio. We have some big updates for you there. But this morning we woke up to the news that there is another train with some toxic chemicals which derailed in Houston. They are actively monitoring the air quality go ahead and put we have some images here we can put up on the screen for those of you who are just listening,

I'll describe it. You can see a number of cars of this train that have derailed off the tracks right next to some sort of a major interstate highway there that you can see. You've got a closer in look of these cars that have come off the tracks. Now this morning, we have some news about exactly what happened here. It does appear to be a somewhat different situation than what unfolded in Ohio. Specifically, local news are reporting that a truck driver died and several freight train cars were

derailed during a Monday morning collision northeast of Houston. That crash was between an eighteen wheeler and a Union Pacific train, and twenty one train cars were derailed, and a hazardous materials team from Union Pacific was on site and monitoring

air quality as a precaution. A spokesperson for the railway Union Pacific confirmed that its has met crews were on the site and estimated that a hunter gallons of diesel fuel were released by the truck that was involved in the crash, and they say, from what we're being told and shown, there's no major chemicals to be concerned about. More so household chemicals on board for retail purposes. Not

a large quantity from what we're being told. But keep in mind is the corporate line of what is going on with that trade to railmen, and they are apparently do have hasmat response on the scene monitoring air quality. So that's what we know about that one. We will keep an eye on that. But going moving to Ohio, this is I would say it's astonishing. It's really just par for the course. Pie Footagic is the Secretary of Transportation. Now, he wanted this job. He didn't want to be he

was offered some other show. This was the job he wanted because he thought it would be prestigious and easy and could just fly around ribbon cutting ceremonies talking about infrastructure. It has turned out to be one of the most critical jobs in the entire country. Now, if you were you know, if he was the man he presents himself as, this would be an opportunity to rise to the occasion. Demonstrates the American people, his competence, his concern his care

for supply chains for rail lines, for airline passengers. But instead he doesn't do any of that. I mean, he seems to be number one, thoroughly incompetent, two completely asleep at the switch. So again part of the course, he was speaking at the National Association of Counties, supposed to be touting their infrastructure project, which again is the only thing he really cares about because it doesn't require him to do anything, just like you know, trot around the

country like some little celebrity. Says nothing, nothing in this speech about this massive ecological catastrophe that is unfolding in the state of Ohio. Instead, this is what he has to talk about. To work with your contractors, to work with your community colleges on building a workforce that reflects

the community. We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where he got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project looking like you know, doing the good paying jobs don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood. You can build community wealth that will help close wealth gout gaps in this country if we can tear down

those barriers. But that happens at the delivery level. Yeah, that's what this guy is focused on about workplace diversity. When there's a goddamn trained de world and toxic chemicals that are being speak out into the public, you just what you can just see so clearly, Like he did really poorly at his presidential campaign with anyone who was I mean, he didn't do that well overall, but he did pretty well with white people and nobody else. Okay, he got like what one percent of the black vote

in South Carolina. It was a pathetic performance and he has no idea how to actually appeal to people, so he thinks this is the way to further his presidential ambitions, rather than actually deal with the very real problems that are in his portfolio that he is supposed to be focused on. Guess what, I'm sure there are some black folks in Ohio who are concerned about this trained derailment.

More to the point, everybody in America would like to see you actually do your job and deliver for the people who are relying on you to deliver for them. So that's pete. Meanwhile, we are getting more details about exactly what is going on in Ohio, and it's quite scary, you know, we've been talking about the fact. So this train derailed. There was a lot of corporate malfeasance and corruption that basically went into creating the conditions of this derailment.

So that's story number one. We had a great guest on yesterday who talked about that. But as this is all unfolding, you know, the residents of East Palestine have been given the all clear. Everything's fine. You can go about your business, go back to your homes. This is no problem. We took care of it. But the reports from on the ground are quite different. And local news had a hazardous material expert on who is warning about the potential effects of what was released here in some

pretty stark terms. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Basically, nuke to town with chemicals so we could get a road open. The US Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating that evelene glico monobutle ether at the Lexo acrile and isobuteline. We're also in the railcars that were derailed, breached or on fire.

So he says there, we basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open and goes on to express concern about future cancer clusters, which given that what was released here in this controlled, controlled release was is a known carcinogen. So meanwhile, on the ground, you know, we're lucky to have a couple partners have

done great reporting here. Lever News has done some of the best reporting about the corruption that the and the greed that led to the situation to start with, and Status KU has been on the ground interviewing residents. Jordan Sheridan of Status qu talked to a fox keeper who had one of his foxes died and others of them clearly visibly ill after the release of these toxic chemicals. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

So that they've tested the blood levels and there's raised liver enzymes, and the chloride levels in the blood are on the high end of normal, and the lung are inflamed. There's the eye irritation, and there is neurological issues going on, which is also things that happened from the chloride vinyl chloride exposure. And I have others that also have neurological issues that they're not themselves at all from it. And I'm really worried, and just to give you a sense,

this isn't cherry picked. There are a lot of reports coming from locals who are there on the ground. This one was on TikTok, someone who was taking a look at the what they describe as hundreds of dead fish that are turning up in streams there. Let's take a look at that. I think it's important for people to see the dead fish. I'm gonna walk under the bridge here above and show you coming right up another fish. There's hundreds of them up here. So hundreds of dead fish,

other animals like foxes that are dying. National Journal actually SAGA had a good report where they talk to people who were on the ground and you're talking about people who even after the all clear was given, they didn't come back fully to their homes, but they went back to to get something that they needed, you know, an id something. So they're literally in and out, eyes are watering and burning and headaches. And this is after they've been told oh, it's it's all good, it's all fine.

That report, this is this just breaks my heart. To give you a sense of what people are going through there talk about a woman named Andrea Beldon who noticed her two year old cat, Leo, lying motionless, heart racing and breathing labored. Remained way Overnight he was found to have congestive heart failure, Fluid filled around his heart and lungs, His liver enzyns shot up. Medication was not working, he wasn't moving, he wasn't eating, wasn't drinking, wasn't going to

the bathroom. To continue treatment, she would have had to come up with eighteen thousand dollars. So she went to the railway North Norfolk Southern and said, hey, listen, the vet says, this is connected to what you all did. Pay like, let me keep my cat alive. They said no, maybe in the future. Fat lot of good that does her now and she had to put the cat to sleep, And even after putting the cat down, she still owes almost ten thousand dollars for the treatment that Leo had

already received. Just horrible, just to give you a sense of, you know, one small piece of the nightmare that people are going through. And then of course people are terrified, what is this doing to my kids? What is this doing to me? What does this mean for my future? And so far there's no indication that Norfolk Southern has you know, any plan to pay people for anything close to the damages that they have likely encouraged. Oh yeah, and look, I mean you know we've covered here. The

unions were warning about this. I mean that goes back to why the railway deal was a crime in the first place. And then second, I mean, where is where's our government? Like? Yes, President Biden has there's two probably the biggest stories in the country, and my estimation right now are UFOs and Ohio. He hasn't said a word about either of them. Where are you? And then his deputized people, you know, one is abroad talking about you know, oh, we haven't recovered any debris yet. The other one is

talking about workplace diversity. I mean, we have no confidence that anything is going to happen. If I was one of those people, is no way in hell I'm going back there. Yeah, not a chance. Yeah. There's a guy who I have no idea the credibility of the sky, but he's on TikTok and he seemed like he knew what he was talking about. It seemed like he was

a chemist. He had sort of like detailed knowledge about this particular chemical and the way it interacts with water and air and what temperature it boils at, et cetera. But one thing he said that definitely rang true for me based on what I've observed for the news is he said, listen, I study these industrial accidents all the time because it was like a particular fascination for him.

He's like, the pattern is always the same. The company puts out the most positive, like optimistic statement about what's going on. The politicians they don't know and sometimes are in bed with these people, and so they just pairrot whatever the corporate line ultimately is. The media is not expert on what these chemicals are and what the fallout effects might be, et cetera, et cetera, so they also

just parrot whatever the politicians are saying. So ultimately, what you're getting in all of these incidents in terms of the first blush impression is usually just whatever the corporate line is. And so that's why I too, would be deeply skeptical that it is actually safe in the area, that adequate testing has been done, that they even know what the potential fallout of such a thing could be.

I mean, we've never had a situation before with this much of this particular chemical and being burned, and how much seeped into the ground and how much went out in the air, And now we know that it's seeped into the Ohio River basin. What does that mean? I think one thing that we've you know, we see with the UFOs too, is like they pretend like they, oh, we were super competent, we know what's going on. We've got this lockdown. They don't really know, especially the local

but they're guessing. The media is guessing, and so I would take a lot more seriously the people who are living there, who are trying to go about their daily lives and are continuing to see and experience directly negative effects of whatever the hell happened here. Absolutely, we're going

to stay on it, guys. Yeah, one hundred percent. Another thing we wanted to take a look at is Washing Post has a new in depth report about the way, especially Jared Kushner, but also Donald Trump himself has profited off of their deep ties and relationship with Saudi Arabia. I mean, this has major implications for the foreign policy of their administry in the past, also major implications for what their foreign policy would be if they end up back in the White House. Let's go and put this

up on the screen. Some of this covers things we've covered before, but it goes into great depth and there's additional detail. Their headline is after helping Princes Rise, Trump and Kushner benefit from Saudi funds, an investment fund overseen by Crown Prince mohammedd Ban Salmon is backing ventures that profit the former president and his senior advisor, raising questions

of conflict. Now you all will recall under the Trump administration, Kushner in particular, and some of these details are really revealed for the first time in this report. He was the one who was really pushing Trump to cozy up to the Saudi Arabian government and especially to MBS. He was the one who Trump initially didn't want Saudi to be his first foreign trip. Kushner was the one who really kind of put the screws to him and pushed

him to do that. And now potentially, in exchange, NBS has really bailed Kushner out of some difficult financial straits and funded almost all of this two billion dollar fund that Kushner raised. Let me read you a little bit of what this says, because the details here are stunning.

They say, the day after leaving the White House, Jarek Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with two billion dollars from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salman. Kushner's firm structured those funds so they didn't have to

disclose the source. According to previously unreported details of SEC forms reviewed by The Washington Post, his business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, something I would argue we should probably change. On Trump's side, they talk about how a year after his presidency, Trump's golf courses, oh they began hosting tournaments for the Saudi Fund back to live golf

separately the former Presidence family company the Trump Organization. They secured an agreement with a Saudi real estate company that plans to build a Trump hotel as part of a four billion dollar golf resort in Oman. They also talk about here how Trump acknowledges that he bailed MBS out, especially with regards to the murder of Jamal Kushogi. He says said in a recorded interview quote, I saved his ass. According to the Trump Shapes by Post associate editor Bob Woodward,

he refused to endorse the CIA's conclusion. He equivocated about Muhammad's involvement. He opposed releasing of the report, and vetoed a congressional bill to block arm sales to the Kingdom. President sent Mike Pompeo, who had replaced Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, to meet with the Prince and remind him of his debt. By the way, Kushner has also reportedly raised at least another five hundred million from his company from unknown international investors since he filed that his

SEC form last year. He has not identified the source of that money. And just to put the numbers in stark relief here, let's go and put this up on the screen. As of last year, Kushner's firm reported that two point five point one billion out of two point five four billion under management came from foreign sources. Two billion of that from directly from MBS more or less.

I mean, we've talked here before about the fact that the review board for this investment initially we're like, no, we don't think that Jared Kushner is has the skill set, he's not qualified. We don't want to invest this money with him. And MBS came in over the top and basically made this investment happen. So it is a disgusting,

disgusting display. I mean, the most direct example you can possibly imagine of like the intermingling of politics, foreign affairs and personal wealth and you know, correct, straight pay to play. Kushner is going to personally pocket twenty five million in management fees just off the Saudi money alone. All right, So that's it. Fantastic wealth coming straight off of the MBS relationship that he built in the White House. There's no way to describe. This is as corrupt as it

possibly gets. It is just as bad as Hunter Biden. It is just as bad as Chelsea Clinton sitting on the board of Expedia or whatever because she's very qualified of course. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's exactly why. I mean, every time I look at these and you have these relations who are of people who are in power, the level of brazenness that they are allowed to get away with is outrageous. And here's the crazy part, guys. This

is totally legal, It's all legal. But that doesn't make it right, two point five to one billion dollars in form is anybody in the United States willing to give this guy money? No, because we don't know he's an idiot, so we has to go. It's a reason why two point five one of the two point five four I did the mask is all raised overseas. That is ninety

eight point eight percent. And by the way, he is the son in law technically of a billionaire, right, so by this it doesn't even look like his own wife will give him his money. Like people give him money. They giving him money here. The Saudis and possibly some other oligard didn't even want to do it until the Crown Prince literally was like, no, you're gonna give Jared. Let me ask Look, let the money sink in. He's getting filthy rich off of his time in the White House.

Just ask yourself this. Yeah, they end up back in the White House with you know, Trump making whatever he's making from live golf, and Jared with his two billion dollars in the fun You think they're really going to be first and foremost concerned about whatever the American interest is with regards to the Saudis. Come on, you don't think this is going to impact their decision making. You don't think that this possibility impacted their decision making last

time around. I don't think anyone could tell you with a straight face that this has no impact on the way that they will ultimately conduct their foreign policy with, you know, a nation that is both very important and with which we have somewhat of a fraught relationship at the moment. I mean, this isn't some bit player. This is a major player, especially when it comes to energy

and the price of gas at the pump. So it's disgusting and we cannot focus on it possibly enough, because it is such a brazen, brazen example of pay to play. The same time, we've got a little Elon Musk back and forth. This is an interesting one, all right. Put this up on the screen from media. Elon Musk is defending restricting Ukraine military Internet service, saying, quote, we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to World

War three. This came in response put this next piece up on the screen to astronaut Scott Kelly, who actually is Mark Kelly's brother. He said to Elon, Ukraine desperately needs your continued support. Please restore the full functionality of your Starlink satellite defense from a gemicidal invasionist not in offensive capability survival, Innocent lives will be lost. You can help, thank you, to which Elon replies, what you see on the screen here, you're smart enough not to swallow media

and other propaganda bs. Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to World War three, he went on. In response to another person. Here he says, listen, SpaceX commercial terminals, like other commercial products, are meant for private use. Put this next one up on the screen, guys, not military. But we have not exercised our right to

turn them off. We're trying hard to do the right thing where the right thing is an extremely difficult moral question. Now, you guys know I haven't been the biggest, biggest you on fan on this. I will one hundred percent defend him. And by the way, you know it's not clear one hundred percent what they have done to limit starlink service.

They did announce they are going to limit it. There's some Wall Street Journal reporting that says Basically, Ukrainian soldiers say it's working largely as usual for frontline communications, but some units had reported issues with terminals attached to strike drones. So again, not one hundred percent clear the ways that they have restricted it. But I think he's trying to strike what to me seems like a relatively reasonable balance,

trying to avoid escalation leading to World War three. And also Sager is very much in line with the original rationale and explanation from the US government of what they would be doing visa of the Ukraine. Yeah, you know, his point is not wrong. Well, he's like, look, this is supposed to be a commercial device. It's not even supposed to be used for military purposes. And you know why you don't want to use for military purposes because now you're opening yourselves up to the world of sanctions

and you're working opening up yourself. You're in a different realm than you ever intended to be. And you know, at the right right now, I mean, he already talked about how they were providing Ukraine like hundreds of millions of dollars in free service with high speed internet connectivity, and he's like, I guess we'll just keep doing it. But the core beef was the Starlink was like, hey, Pentagon, you pay for it, you know you're the one, and they're like, no, we're not going to do This is

outrageous because they initially provided free service to Ukraine. Zelenski then jumping on being like Elon doesn't support Ukraine, like you know, and basically browbeating him in the press to make him bow before this. But I think it's a totally legitimate point, like if the US government wants to provide high speed interactivity, you know, to Ukrainian forces, then they are welcome to do that, but why should a

private company be required to do so? And then secondary, if the private company is going to do so basically out of the goodness of their heart, is costing them a lot of money, well then they're parameters of that CEO, of their owner, and how he'd used the conflict is of course going to play a role here. This is part of what drives me crazy about the Ukrainians. You don't have a right to anything that we give you. You You should be grateful about what it is, and they're not.

Like their and their defenders are constantly and I pointed to that previous Zelensky demand spider jets, all right, you build them? Okay, yeah, go for it. You don't have an industrial base. That's why you can't do it. So you should at least and say, police, can you give us, you know, if you're gonna ask us to escalate, at least be nice about it. That's one of those things where it drives me nuts. In the media and the

way Elon was treated on this. You should be thanking God for him for creating this technology that enables you and your military to put up even a modest defense against the Russians. You should not be demanding it, and not that you're not even paying for it, you're gonna get for free. I mean, listen, I think that I think people aren't necessarily saying Elon has to is like required to, but they're saying it'd be the right thing to do, and he's basically arguing like it's a little complicated,

because you know, it's one thing. All the reporting says that Starlink has been has truly been critical for Ukraine in terms of their communications on the frontline, and Starlink is still providing that which is incredibly important, which is why I think the like antagonistic approach that Zelenski and others in Ukraine have taken has been you know, they can say whatever they want, but I think it's kind

of foolish. But again, what Elon is laying out here about concerns of World War three escalation and wanting to provide you know, a communications ability on the front lines for the purpose of defense, but not wanting to be really involved in enabling any sort of offensive capabilities, in particular that could you know, strike crimea strike into Russia itself. I think again that that's a reasonable moral stand to take as he's trying to sort through, you know, what

their role here should ultimately be. So so yeah, I think the Ukrainian approach here has been a bit foolish. Ultimately, you know, this has been incredibly critical for their efforts, and instead of getting any sort of like appreciation or acknowledgment of how critical they have been, you know, it's he's basically getting shpit on for getting involved at all. So it's no, but that's the thing. They're not foolish. They can get away with it. They never get called

on anything. Zelenski literally lies about a Russian missile flying in poll and calling for a no fly zone. Everybody here's like, no, no, it's all you know what was crazy when that whole thing happened. Whenever it turned out that it was Ukrainian anti air missile, they're like, oh, it's Russia's fault, actually that our citizens were killed. What they didn't even apologize for what happened. I mean, the level of which we accommodate them is crazy. You can say, yeah,

look what's going on there. It's unjust that you were invaded. I hope that you win. You know, I support your right to defend yourself, but that doesn't mean that we

you know, you're always in the right. And the level of hysteria and just the inability to grapple with any critical thought on this like it is, as people can tell, drives me absolutely, especially when they're ungrateful to people like you for literally giving them tens of millions of dollars in free service of which they say is required on the battlefield, and they're so arrogant that they're willing to criticize them in public. And you know, here's the thing

for all of his like I'll stand up. You still gave it to Emilan, like you didn't actually back down, So I don't know. You know, it just shows you, like how powerful they really are in the zeitgeist. Well, one thing that is not controversial would be bringing starlink capability to my home in We're all Virginia, so something we can all get hy it. I checked the map for you. It's coming in twenty twenty three. You see what they allegedly? Okay, all right, Tacker, what are you

looking at? Well, everyone here knows I never miss a chance for a history lesson, So I thought, in the midst of one of the most extraordinary moments in UFO history, it's important we take a step back look at the past behavior of the US government on this topic as we attempt to parse all of what we know right now in real time. There's a lot of disbelief right now as to how the US government can shoot down three objects in the course of three days and basically

tell us nothing about what's going on. But sadly, it actually fits a long time pattern of our government hiding the truth from us, and in many cases off the skating extraordinary events in the hope that we will lose interest and just move on. It's worth noting This has been a feature, not a bug, about UFOs from the very beginning. Starting at Roswell. Let's review the basic facts.

We know that in the summer of nineteen forty seven, a New Mexico rancher found debris from a crashed object on his land after several UFO flying discs sidings were

reported all over New Mexico. The debris was brought by the rancher to Roswell Airfield, where the commander on site inspected it and put out a statement saying, quote the many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality after the examination of the debris, and then the next day the government reversed themselves saying no, no, no, it wasn't a flying saucer or a flying disc. Actually it was

a weather balloon. Here's a photo for you. They stuck to that story for fifty years, when in nineteen ninety four they said after the Cold War, actually wreckage from Roswell. It was part of a classified US government program known as Project Mogul, and it was a high altitude balloon equipped with microphones that were designed to secretly float over the Soviet Union. They came up with the weather balloon's

story as a decoy. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, But Roswell set the tone for which UFOs would be treated by the US government, lives obfuscations, sophisticated programs designed to keep as much information from the public as secret as possible. Despite the fallout of Roswell UFO sidings, they didn't stop. Not from normal people. Pilots themselves were forcing the Air Force in the US military to create a task force dedicated to studying the UFO phenomenon, and this

took on a few phases. It began in nineteen forty seven. There was Project Sign, Project Grudge, and Project Blue Book. I'm skipping over a lot of history here, but the most extraordinary thing to occur during this initial phase is an alleged document that was known as the Quote Estimate of the Situation. It was written sometime if it ever existed,

in nineteen forty eight. After analyzing several incidents, this document, alleged by the Project Signed member and former Air Force Captain Edward Repelled, concluded that the UFO phenomenon was extraterrestrial life. The report was approved by the group that was studying the phenomenon before being rejected out of hand by the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. Then a critical incident happened the nineteen fifty two UFO scare

right over Washington, DC. Right here, seven blips were spotted on the radar air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport. One was moving at a very high rate of space that was irregular. US Air Force pilots were dispatched to intercept the object. They claimed they saw it with their own eyes, narrowly missed them. The radar signal was verified at nearby Bass Military Basis. In a frantic search, they

still couldn't find them. A week later, the exact same thing happened again, and the headlines at the time screamed about flying discs, saucers, pilots, outflow of US jets, and the press for once was actually trying to do its job. They were hammering the Truman administration the Pentagon. They needed to provide answers. So what does the government do? What

it does best, It lied first. The general responsible for answering questions about the incident obfuscated every single detail possible from the press before landing on the preferred explanation that they have today. It was a quote temperature inversion, an explanation that holds no weight at all, and one that they landed on after frantically searching internally for something that they could use that might stop people from asking questions.

The second thing they did was they convened a new group. It is known to history as the Quote Robertson Panel. The panel was put together by the CIA in a joint advisory committee tasked with understanding UFOs. Now, instead of

actually understanding UFOs, they reached a different conclusion. Actually, what they needed to do is a public education campaign to convince the American public that UFOs were nonsense, To weaponize the press, use prominent people in pop culture and media, including the Walt Disney Corporation, to convince Americans that UFOs were not a threat to American national security and that

only cranks believed in them. This was at the height of CIA power in America, when they involved all sorts of insane black ops here in American soil and experimenting on American citizens to try and find a path to mind control. It set the tone from that day forward from Project Blue Book, where the sole purpose of the project was to stigmatize UFOs. Bury the evidence, cover it up,

twist American public opinion away from any curiosity. And the reason I'm taking you through this torturous history is because this legacy of secrecy pervades the entire pedic gone Today, we are really supposed to believe we had three UFOs shot down in seven two hours, and it's not one photo of that wreckage. This is in an age where we knowingly put hell fire missiles in moving cars in Afghanistan and have had that capability for over twenty years.

Keep this in mind. This is after an extraordinary five years where we have literal video evidence of insane objects moving at high rates of speed. We have pilots on the record in the media believing that they saw something extraordinary, and they have receipts to back it up. After all of that, they still drag their feet. Two congressionally mandated reports released as little information to us as humanly possible. At the same time they fulfill their Robertson panel dreams.

They have stigmatized UFOs to the American public, using the media as their mouthpiece. Watch this clip that we showed you earlier, the White House telling us there's no evidence of alien spacecraft. Don't worry about it. The press corps. They giggle like little school children. I know there's been questions and concerns about this, but there is no again, no indication of aliens or extra terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or

terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Wanted to make sure that the American people knew that. All of you knew that, and it was important for us to say that from here because we've been hearing a lot about it. The Robertson panel could have barely dreamed of a more compliant press core than what you have right there. The good thing, though, is we do have the Internet on our side and

the ability to ask questions that we couldn't before. Maybe there's a benign explanation for what these aircraft that we shot down are. But one thing you should be sure of. Don't believe any of the assurances from the US government on any of this, and anyway, that's what I come down. I don't think people really know the history. And look, I know that it sounds crazy, but like you, and if you want to hear my reaction to Sager's monologue,

become a premium subscriber today at Breakingpoints dot Com. Are you checking a look out? Well, guys. The fallout continues over what could be the largest public corruption scandal in history. Now, as you will call, various politically connected individuals in the state of Mississippi, including former NFL star Brett Farv, are accused of stealing a combined total of some seventy to ninety million dollars that was intended for needy welfare recipients. Now,

the brazen details of the scandal are truly shocking. Farv alone is said to have pocketed a million dollars in speaking fees for toks he never gave, and was working with a politically connected charity to have a multimillion dollar volleyball stadium for his daughter financed out of those welfare funds. Now, Farv denies wrong doing. He says he didn't have any idea where this money was coming from. I put that disclaimer up top because I don't want to get sued,

And apparently Farv is in a litigious mood. He is now suing two commentators who opined on the matter, and even the Mississippi State Auditor I guess for daring to uncover Farv's alleged fraud. So here are the details. Farv's filed defamation lawsuits against sports commentator Shannon Sharp and Pat McAfee,

along with state auditor Shad White. Apparently, he's upset with Shandon Sharp for saying that Farv was a quote sorry mofo to steal from the lowest to the low and that Farv quote stole money from people that really needed that money. Farv is also upset with McAfee for calling him a quote thief and for saying Farv was quote stealing from poor people in Mississippi. As for the state auditor, the suit accuses White of shamelessly and falsely attacking Farv's

good name. Now, perhaps if you don't want to have your good name attacked, don't try to pull for welfare funds to build your daughter a stadium. Allegedly, there are though other reasons why Farv's good name may have already been sullied as well, but I digress from that. For his part, Pat McAfee doesn't seem particularly phased by the legal threats here, and I'm no legal analyst, but probably

has good reason to feel fairly confident. It's hard to imagine that McAfee's commentary on publicly reported events about a very high profile person are going to meet the high legal bar for defamation. Here, in part was McAfee's mocking response, take a lot of produ our work. We had to cover that situation, and we certainly said allegedly, and a lot of people are wondering how my lawyers are going to handle us. You know it, I ain't got him, So let's ride this, bucker. I'm excited to see how

it goes. I'll see you in court, Pal. Cheers to everybody in cheers or feel good Friday not being ruined at all by that in court pal. Now, if I had to guess, Far's lawsuits are less about actually winning a case in court, which again seems highly unlikely, and more about scaring other journalists and commentators away from talking about him. Judging by me writing this monologue, it's not

working all that well. But there is, if anything, even more fallout in the political world, which is larger than the sports world. As you're probably aware of, Mississippi is a red state. Democrat hasn't even come close to winning for governor there since Republican Haley Barber took the office

in two thousand and four. Now, when you think of competitive swing states, it's not exactly what comes to mind, but this scandal could be turning politics in Mississippi upside down because the current Governor Ryan Grimm look alike Republican Tate Reeves is deeply connected both to the scandal itself and to an and cover up, and it happens to be up for re election this very year. So far

that reelect is off to a pretty rocky start. Bombshell newpoll by Tulchion Research actually has the Republican incumbent Reeves down four points to the Democratic nominee, Brandon Presley. Reeves approval rating has tanked in connection with this scandal, and voters by an overwhelming two to one marchin have a dim view of his handling of it. It's no wonder they're disgusted, because Reeves is deeply implicated in not only

the scandal, but again a purported cover up. First of all, Reeves is part of the same political machine as the previous governor Phil Bryant, under whom this multimillion dollar welfare scandal all unfolded. In fact, Reeves was not just a civilian bystander to the whole corrupt affair. He was Lieutenant governor at the time and had himself benefited from the political patronage of one of the main accused wrongdoers in

this whole scheme. Second of all, reeves On personal trainer is alleged to have received one point three million dollars in payments out of the welfare money, and lo and behold messages strongly suggest that Tate Reeves himself directed those payments. Reporting from Mississippi Today reveals that the alleged scheme to provide the money to the trainer was described as quote the Lieutenant governor's fitness issue, again the lieutenant governor being

Tate Reefs. But what is most infuriated the Mississippi public is what appears to be a cover up. Reeves fired a lawyer who was working to recoup the stolen welfare funds after that lawyer issued subpoenas which could have proved politically damaging to the former governor or to Tate Reeves himself. That subpoena asked for documents from the University of Southern Mississippi's Athletic Foundation, and the board of that foundation just happens to be chock full of Tate Reeves' supporters and

Tate Reeves donors. Reeves fired that lawyer near days after the subpoena was issued. This corruption scandal is not just some side issue in the campaign either. It's blown up into one of the top issues in this campaign in the whole state, and understandably so. Voters are rightly disgusted with a politic class that used money intended for the state's neediest to instead pad their own lavish lifestyles and reward their political cronies. In this poll, ninety three percent

of respondents had at least heard something about this scandal. Now, I don't know much about the Democrat Brandon Presley. He seems like a decent candidate for the state. He was state utility regulatory blocked rate increases benefited consumers there. He's born and raised in a small town in Mississippi, pro life and pro gun for what it's worth. He apparently

is Elvis's cousin, Presley Presley. You see, it's a test case over whether public revulsion to this looting of the public bursts can actually overcome the state's usual partisan tilt. We will find out in November. The Breadfarv thing is unbelievable. First of all, the gall of this man to sue them. And if you want to hear my reaction to Crystal's monologue, become a premium subscriber today at Breakingpoints dot Com. Joining me now is a good friend, Jeremy Corbell. He's an

independent journalist. He's released some of the most important videos regarding thiss, So of course we had to talk with Jeremy about this entire situation. So, Jeremy, there's been an explosion of public interest in UFOs after the last couple of days in these extraordinary shootdowns. Just want to get your reaction to everything that's happening here, not only the interests of the topic writ large, but also this specific instances.

What are you thinking about this? Yeah, well, look, the moment this began, people started texting me, is this war of the worlds? Is this, you know, confirmation? Are they finally dealing with this elusive what they call UAP now, which is just UFO same thing? Are we dealing with this mystery publicly? Forward facing? Unfortunately, the answer is know that this organization is incredible. We know there are balloons, we know there are Chinese spy balloons. This is something

that has been happening for decades, this specific type. So what we're dealing with is the media all of a sudden grabbing on to these very specific in terminology, just trying to make everybody feel like this is a new thing. If we really cared about security in the United States on the level, we're not going to shoot a missile at a balloon. We're going to deal with, for example,

what happened in twenty nineteen that is still unresolved. And I think I've proven the case very recently by bringing witnesses forward direct eyewitnesses that these UAPs unidentified anomalist phenomena, that they're under intelligent control by some actor who we don't know who it is. But we can exclude China, Russia, US, I mean, you name it, we can exclude it. So what are we not saying here? So the current events, dude, it's like this, this has been going on a long time.

If we care about security, we would deal with the hacks to our cell phones before we would even care about a balloon enough to shoot it down on national television with a missile which we barely hit by the way, Yeah, that's right. Well, and how do the pilot descriptions and the limited pieces of information that we have gotten in terms of, you know, descriptions of these objects, how do

those match up with previous reports and sightings. Right, That's a really important distinguishing quality here is that the UAP phenomenon, it's going on all the time, and it's over decades, if not generations. So what pilots are seeing and saying now with these particular events, it is not as extraordinary as what we have heard from like let's say, Commander

David Fraber, Commander Underwood, Lieutenant Ryan Graves. But look, what we're seeing is really nothing that I see as particularly anomalous. They are saying strange words to try to inflame the UFO community. I think that that is intentional because we are what we're actually shooting down so far has been just really standard. Let's reflect on what's happened. Let's go back,

because we're talking about spherical things. At George knappenin we released something called the orb This is the first piece of military film clearly identified as UAP. This is from within a classified briefing. Like a lot of the stuff that I've been able to put out, but it is inherently unclassified. That's why I can put it out. So we put this out. This is an object that is from a four second video. It's two seconds slowed down and this is from a reconnaissance plane over northern Iraq Mosol.

That's why they call it the Mosol ORB. This was identified by our UAPTF, which was the task Force dealing with the Unidentified anomalost Phenomena as classified UAP, meaning it's got some sort of propulsion, some reason why it was brought into that category. And if you've seen the if you get to see the video, if people do their job and you can see the video, you're going to know. We know what balloons are. We know what those are. We don't classify those UAP. So now you've got a

spherical object over a conflict zone. For the first first time, the public is seeing an image that was contained in classified briefing. Now this makes you think about the trans medium capabilities from twenty nineteen when George and I released the uss O Maha video where our government and the people that are really working this within our government, they said this is trans medium. These were coming in and out of the water and indeed I have direct reports

from people who saw that at that time. So what you're seeing, Crystal, you asked the question, what you're seeing right now is a complete rewriting of our standards of rules of engagement in twenty nineteen. If this was Chinese technology, do you think it would have gotten much more coverage. We now see what happens when we simply pop a balloon with a missile from another country. We see the

press coverage. What did we not see in twenty nineteen, We had nine pieces of corroborative visual evidence that I provided with George to the public and mass media. We didn't see this, and we still don't know the origin, intent, or capability of those objects at that time. Where did they come from, Where did they launch, where did they land? No propulsion system that we can see, and you can see that yourself in that flear footage, the black and

white footage that's thermal. You should be able to see flight control surfaces, rotor wash, heat dispersing from a propulsion system. That is not a balloon, that is not something out of control, that is something in controlled flight by an unknown operator. And that slide you're showing right now that slide was also within a classified briefing, but is inherently unclassified, and it says it right there for you that they

suspect it to be trans medium. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Look, this is why I thought it was important to bring you on. And in our coverage, you know, it's difficult to distinguish as well where were like, Look, you know, in some of these cases, we're not talking about anything that is even close to as anomalist or described like you said by Commander David Fraeer or Ryan Graves. One of the things we've been trying to pick up on, Jeremy is just the level of government obfuscation around keeping

as much detail from the public as possible. That's something that you have dealt with now through this entire period. You've spoken previously on the Joe Rogan podcast and elsewhere about how we've actually fired on uf UAP's UOFOS, whatever you want to call it, These incidents have been covered up by the government. Can you just lay that out

for people. I did some of my monologue on this, the level of secrecy and really just the lack of willingness, at least until very recently, to actually want to deal with this issue. Yeah. So look, there was a heroic thing, which is where Representative Carson put together the first UFO congressional hearing in fifty three years actually, I think was the amount of time. So there are people that want to address this soberly and straight on. But the stigma

that is really the thing. It's very bizarre. The stigma is what causes, as far as I can see so far, a lot of the lack of journalism and the pre bunking that is done on the UFO phenomenon. But even within our mechanisms of government, it's really stigma. It's like, we don't want to admit what's right in front of us, the UAP issue, because it has all of this baggage. But look, you have objects of unknown origin flying with impunity in our restricted airspace. We need to deal with it. Now.

There is directed disinformation and misinformation about the UFO topic, and I have dealt with that specifically and personally. I'll give you an example. The only spokesperson for the UAP topic the public has is Susan go. Susan Go at the Pentagon. Now, her statements have not only been misleading to American public, other than when she did confirm, I think because it's so obvious that what I obtained and released was government film footage from active UFO investigations and

did show true UAP. There has been an attempt to try to be very unclear to the American public, and she's doing that right now. Whoever is telling her to do it is who we should find out. That image I put out the Moso ORB is really important when it comes to shootdowns. I have talked about it, and I have said and everybody got real upset at me. Over a long time. We are constantly shooting at unknowns, but the rules of engagement is that it's usually over

conflict zones. It's when these objects, who by the way, Russia and Syria also fire upon, so we know it's not their units, but that happens because of the proximity of UAP to ground troops. That's one of the criteria of why the fire on it. But now we're seeing it over the US and we don't know if these things, even if they are balloons, which most of them are, you know, we don't know if they're manned or unmanned. So the shootdown thing, Look, I don't have a crystal

ball right. But why I know that is because I've been exposed to reports and briefings. That's why I could say it before came something everybody else was talking about nationally. Got it. I wonder what you make of the theory

that this is all sort of like a syop. It's like a shiny object to keep us all talking and distracted while you know, some other major event is unfolding people when pointing to the trained derailmen in Ohio that hasn't gotten a lot of media attention, what do you make of that argument that not just these instances, but

other reported instances are also part of some broader government siop. Yeah, I wish I could report to you that we have a well oiled machine where the deception is really well done. I always feel like I should be, as a journalist a few steps ahead of the BS. Right, Well, I'm about twenty and that's concerning. That's very concerning. So this idea that there's a syops and we're trying to distract people,

that that's just not true. You've got maybe on a low level, sure, very very low, Like you know, Susan go at the Pentagon, whoever's telling her not to conforms certain things, but on the broad picture, I think people are really trying their best. I have met some great people within the different departments that basically say, we want to be forward facing on this issue. We realize that the pilots are having to deal with this. So that

was why you saw that forward great movement Congress. Mc gallagher came up, really threw down for the American public in that UFO hearing is kind of like a hero to a lot of people in the world interested in facing this topic. So I don't feel that it's in

well orchestrated and oiled machine of deception. I would like to believe that we were that sophisticated, but I think the bureaucracy, like I'm nimble, I'm on my feet as a journalist, and that's why I think journalists like myself we can get better briefings than people in Congress are sent it, which is kind of scary, right, Yeah, I

think that's what's so important. My last question, Jeremy, is what should people look for in the coming days, not only about the shootdowns, but bro overall on the topic, and where can they learn even more about this? Sure? So I started a new show called Weaponized Podcast with my mentor and journalism George Knapp, and we have been

breaking news with each episode. So what you can expect is more direct military film, UAPI, designated imagery and video, as well as a bunch of great conversations and people coming forward. You call them whistleblowers, you know, I would say they're just tell them the truth. So you expect a lot of that Weaponized Podcast dot com. Yeah awesome, All right, Well we'll have a link down there to the description. Jeremy. Really appreciate you taking the time. I

know you to get up early for us. It means a lot and rely on you heavily. So thank you. Great hacking me you, Jeremy, thank you for covering this, both of you. Thank you for covering it. Yeah, measure. At the same time, Sager, we have some domestic political news breaking this morning. I know you're very excited because the former South Carolina governor and Ambassador to the UN under Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, has announced she is officially

running for president. It's happening, people, it's all happening. Thought we'd give you a little taste of her announcement video and Siger and I will react on the other side. Take a look. It's a great day in South Carolina. It's a great day. It's a great day, A great day, a great day in South Carolina. We were strong, we were proud. Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections. That has to change.

Joe Biden's record is abysmal, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. The Washington establishment has failed us over and over and over again. It's time for a new generation of leadership. You should know this about me. I don't put up with bullys, and when you kick back, it hurts them more if you're wearing heels. I'm Nikki Haley and I'm running for president. Oh my, who gave this woman the impression that anybody gives a shit about her high heels? I don't understand it, Like, where did this

become a meme? And look sadly, I actually do know the answer that there is a group of cringe girl boss, conservative feminist, anti feminist morning types on Twitter who are like you go, Nikki whenever They all thought that stupid ass photo of her raising her hand was like some great big own towards Russia and China. Look, I don't know what to even say. I'm glad the brown ceiling is getting broken. Congratulations, Republicans suddenly have their own identity policy.

Oh yeah, that's that's what all this is. Look, this lady doesn't have a chance in hell. I mean that ad. It's like written by chat ChiPT It's like the most replacement I was gonna say the Really, it's like if you typed into AI, like make me a generic Republican political video for a woman of color, right, that this is what you would get. Yeah. I hope that the technology is advanced enough to make the voice a little bit less robotic than what NI going on there. Though.

She tweeted this out with her comment was get excited. Time for a new generation. Let's do this exclamation point with the fifth bump and the American flag. And I just think one sure sign that a politician stands for absolutely nothing as when they talk about a new generation. Yes, good, it's a guarantee that what they really mean is let's do the same old crap we've been doing, just with

like a slightly younger person. This was a Pete boodhagenchit pitch last time around, you know, nothing wrong with like great to get new blood all at whatever. But if you're leaning into my whole case is that my age is different than the person in power, like you're lacking a lot in terms of like principles and values and actually something different for the country. Nikki Haley is an

unreconstructed neo conservative on foreign policy. In twenty nineteen, she gave a speech called it Now is Not the Time to give up on Capitalism, where she attacked Josh Holly and Orrin Cass and a few others friends of mine, at least in the case of Orin specifically for rethinking crazy policies like maybe hedge funds are bad, maybe private equity isn't as good as what it does, and tax cuts for these like filthy rich billionaires aren't the best

most apt policy priority. Maybe that's why the financial billionaire Paul Singer happens to be bankrolling her entire campaign. The man literally cares about two things or three things. From what I hear crt Okay, whatever, you know. I guess we can be fine on that one. Israel, that's one he cares about a lot, and financial regulation making sure that you protected on those fronts. On those two, or at least two of those three. You could be guaranteed

that Nikki Haley is like Lockstep. It's hilarious to how she a taxi establishment, you are the Republican establishment. What are you talking about a lot of her videos? Just like some people say, Maeric is dead, but I think America is good. Wow Okay, oh wow, Bold stands there, Nicky, way to go. So it'll be interesting, you know, to watch how this all unfolds. You have a big cast of characters that is looking at getting into We talked yesterday, Tim Scott is now looks like he's going to jump

into the race. That Glenn Youngkin looks like he's going to get in. Mike Pompeio, John Bolton nobody cared, but he got in the race as well, Mi Pence obviously in Ron de Santis as the only one of them

that has any real chance at this whole thing. But the thing that I'm fascinated with is how they're all going to approach Trump, right, I mean clearly her line here about like it's time for a new generation, and she makes that comment about you know, we've we've been losing the popular vote, which even that I mean, you're dealing with a Republican base that sixty seventy to seventy percent of them thinks that the twenty twenty election was stolen.

So they don't even agree with you there, number one and number two. Like the new generation thing, it's just not it's not a successful attack line. People's problem with Donald Trump is not actually his age. That's there's a problem with Joe Biden because he shows his age a lot more than Trump does. Trump has this weird like, I don't know, it does feel like the students just

gonna haunt us forever and never go away. But but yeah, I think if that's what you're trying to lean into in terms of any kind of a contrast with Donald Trump, good luck. I mean, lord knows, there is no evidence that anybody wants a new generation. By the way, I want a new generation. But here's the deal. People my age, they really just don't vote. Unfortunately. I wish it was differently, but that's just the case. It's mostly boomers who vote,

and they like Trump. They also voted for Biden. All right, So the two most likely people to be on the ballot are both going to be eighty something years old. Should they serve that term in office. Let that sink in because while many people may not want that, they're not actively involved in the political process, especially with the Republican base. You have to win a primary. There is not one shred iota of evidence that they give a damn at all about you being young, about you being new.

What they care about, yeah, you're high yels. I don't think they particularly, They don't never seem to have care before. What they do care about is your ability to piss off the press and the Republican establishment. Now that's why Ron DeSantis has actual chance, because the press hates him, and look, the Republican establishment not so much, but at least they haven't come out, you know, full force behind him yet. That's why Trump won the election. So look,

she doesn't have a chance. This will be a fun way to watch Paul Singer waste his money, you know, I guess you know, at least it will go into the hands of well healed political consultants here in Washington. But it's pathetic and we will only likely see more of this as Tim Scott and all the Mike Pompeio and all these other narcissists think that any of us care about them at all. Well said, all right, okay, I see you later.
