Cajun Knight Live 46

that are available to you. Myself, I just got back from my parents' house where we do a kuchon delay. For anybody who does not know, this is a Cajun pig roast that we do every year. We basically take a one hundred pound hog. It's farm. We have done boarhogs before, but they're not as tasty as far as the fat content goes. But anyway, take off the head, get out the innards, scrape the hair off, cut the legs off. We butterfly this thing open and we cook it over a fire all night long and it will

be eaten tomorrow morning. And of course we had a good gumbo going on. We don't do the seafood gumbo. We do the chicken and sausage, and some turkey meat

was thone in there too. It was delicious. But before we started shooting, as we do on The Cajun Night Live, we had a little conversation beforehand, and for anybody who would like to join in that conversation that's off air, that would like to just be there in that moment, I want to invite you to go to the link in the description below to patreon dot com slash Cajun Night and join us every Wednesday night for these conversations.

But with that being said, we got onto the conversation about food and just going back and forth on some questions. Are our resident Jewish correspondence in the house this night, as he is almost every single night, and we were talking about certain things that don't fly in the kosher way, and that just kind of started a whole conversation that

I felt would be way better suited on record. So it started off with me asking about, you know, worms and bugs and things, because you know, there's Mexican candies and there's people that use bugs in there as their protein source for things, and of course, outside of the realm of a survival situation. Then we got in a conversation of locus and things. Then we started talking about cobra whiskey. Then we started talking about sushi and that was all good. So and now we're just in the

mix of this conversation. We will be getting to the news. But while we're on this one now, and as everybody is doing Thanksgiving and eating all these meals, there's so many things that we need to discuss at this time. And Sam is chomping at the bit to ask Royce a question. Sam by all means brother, please ask away.

Australians get down with this. I want to try it. That was delicious.

But yeah, I think I actually prefer that meat over catfish meat, to be honest with you, So I feel you on this. But yeah, So anything that you have to skin that comes from the ocean or the water, I should say, is non kosher. So wait, cafilter fish that's that's allowed, isn't it in the Wait?

not Jacob's worth. They're a band for like college guys. They are trying to bang underage girls. That's what Nickelbacks for. I mean, that's not what they started out as. Their first album or two was pretty okay. They got way way downhill quick, but again opinion, that's the Internet can get drunk.

when you look at it. Funny, if you can find me a piston driven AR, then like, I'm all here for it. I'm here for the noise. But honestly, my dream gun as of this moment would either be a SCAR platform which is a piston driven same as the AK, or one of those AK one O three. So they've come out with it's a dual piston AK. It's basically a fully recoil is fully automatic AK and it's gorgeous.

the W or half what she's talking about? All right on half of your test? Do it this and holf do they like? Stop it? The L is silent. You're French, you don't pronounce the first letter of every single word. Don't tell me you don't understand silent letters. And she was like no, not half no. But then she wrote on the board and pretty much shut us all down with the word tough, the word dough, and the word through and said, explain that shit to me before y'all

come at me. And we're just like, God, damn it. Okay, So words are just words. They suck anyway, all right, without further ado, everybody, we do need to get to the current events of the day and age that we were living in. We've talked a good bit about the ask a Jew a question round which I honestly do enjoy. Gonna just be forth right with it, but all right,

let's jump straight into it here. I don't know how many of you have been keeping up with what has gone on this week, but Trump made a statement about nurses, and depending on where you heard this from, you may have heard a couple of different versions. One said that Trump says that nurses are no longer a profession, which is a really asinine thing to say, and a lot of talking heads on the left side of the aisle ran with that it was the official narrative without actually

asking what really was said. Or for what purpose More investigation would show you that he is now saying that a nursing degree is no longer considered a professional occupation degree as far as a course of study goes, which leads to a whole litany of questions on the things and the stuff. So, you know what, let's dive straight into it. Here. It says, is Trump bad for nurses? In their third walkout? New Orleans nurses face a draw out or drawn out contract fight. Observers say the president's

policies aren't helping. I honestly don't know what nurses walking out of the hospital in New Orleans has to do with Trump talking about nursing students around the country. But you know what, I guess this article will just let us know. Here, let's get in. It says, with Kendrick Lamar's not Like Us as a soundtrack, nurses at New Orleans University Medical Center all there it is walked off the job for the third time, picketing along the city's

Canal Street through roof Fair earlier this month. Yeah, Canal Street's kind of the main spinal column to the French quarter of New Orleans. Screen Buy who doesn't know? We will pick it, shout, bargain petition, and strike again and again and again until the nurses win their first contract. I don't know what the bargaining is gonna do on that, but all right, dope, weird flex but okay. Terry Mugiliaise, an orthopedic trauma clinical nurse, told a wrapped crowd on

May first, it's very strange. The crowd compromised about one hundred nurses and their supporters, with many of the nurses wearing scrubs or red shirts with white lettering reading we will strike for our patients. Yeah, because that's what we need you to do. Nurses. We need you to leave the hospital for the good of your patients, because you can give them better care on the street with signs

rather than at the bedside. That's really good logic. Modulais and roughly six hundred University Medical Center nurses voted to unionize with National Nurses United in December twenty twenty three. They are in their sixteenth month of union representation, but say their employer is stalling on a contract that would actually improve their jobs. Observers say nurses may be waiting even longer. On average, healthcare unions go around seventeen months

before obtaining first contracts. Today, the nurses not only have to overcome their employer's resistance, but the downstream effects of the Trump administration's policy changes too. In November, University Medical Center Management Corporation filed a complaint with the National Labor

Relations Board blaming the union for delays in negotiations. Workers say it is UMC that is delaying, and LCMC, the parent corporation for UMC and one of only two hospital administrators in the city, declined Capital and Main's request for comment. So anyway, let's getting more into the conversation with the nurses and their strike. However, the Trump administration has thrown

the National Labor Retal Relations Board in turmoil. One week after his inauguration, Trump fired the Joe Biden appointed NLRB chair, Gwynn will Cox, leaving the five member board with just two members. The agency cannot issue decisions without a quorum of three members, giving reluctance employers even less incentive to bargain in good faith, knowing cases brought against them can be prolonged. While will Cox has sued for the reinstatement in the case has bounced between judges and is still

in litigation. So anyway, long story short, we're kind of jumping off as far as this goes because I saw the New Orleans thing and I thought that'd be a way better way to go about it. But Trump basically said that nursing is no longer a professional education degree. And he was doing this because there is a cap on the amount of student loan that you're able to take for certain let's just call it types, and I'm using that term very loosely here. There a certain type

of degree that you're trying to attain. There's a monetary cat that you're allowed to get as far as that's concerned, and a lot of these nursing students, believe it or not, don't graduate and they're left with racked up student debt that's going to affect them for the rest of their life, with not even the piece of paper at the end of the tunnel to show for it. And I'm not saying that I agree with Trump on this one. I'm

not saying I disagree with Trump on this one. But the world basically with the media anyway, if Trump does something, it's either obviously from Satan himself or obviously he's trying to save America. I honestly don't know which one is more accurate when it comes to this particular situation, but you know, it is what it is. We're going to go over to this news clip here, and as a matter of fact, just give me a thumbs up if you can hear this one, just so I know if

I need to redo something here. This is from ten Tampa Bay pushback over nursing not listed as a professional degree in proposed student loan rules. Let's learn about this one together.

not listed as such. However, he is making this statement and people are pissed, So I take that for what it is. Sam. What are your thoughts, sir?

thing that they brought up. People said some things about it, and it got instantaneously taken down. Let's talk about it together. Yes, good members of the Cajun Night, we are now going to spend a little bit of time talking about Israel before we get on to the next course of action. Ex's new location transparency feature unleashes questions about origins of

MAGA accounts. The function, which shows that a slew of magabranded accounts are apparently based outside the US, also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created a new feature on access to confusion anger and a wave of online sleuthing after users discovered that the platform was suddenly displaying the surprising location where certain

accounts are based. Over the weekend, users notice that clicking on an account's join date now opens a tab that shows the country or region in which the account is located. X's head of product Nikita Buyer, tease the feature last month as a way to help users verify the authenticity excuse me authenticity of content they read and limit the influence of troll farms, which often run political accounts from

outside the countries they target. The issue of the inauthentic or quote unquote bought accounts has plagued the platform, formerly Twitter, and other social media sites for over a decade. Perhaps most notably, inauthentic accounts on Twitter and other social media platforms were allegedly used by a Russian government operation in the run up to the twenty sixteen election in an

attempt to influence the outcome super allegedly there right. The incident set off a wave of concern online about the persistent presence of inauthentic accounts, but detection methods to sniff out such accounts remained unreliable for years. When tech billionaire Elon Musk took over Twitter in twenty twenty two, he promised to address the issues of quote unquote bots on the platform, conducting several purges early in his ownership of

the company that took down many accounts. Several studies have shown, however, that the suspected inauthentic activity on the platform has remained at persistent levels since Muck's Excuse Me Musk bought Twitter. The new location revealing feature is a different approach to

the issue. As soon as it appeared live for users, x was flooded with viral posts showing that numerous high engagement MAGA brand accounts that presented themselves as those of patriotic Americans appear instead to be based overseas, including Eastern Europe, Thailand, Nihigeria, and Bangladesh. An account called itself Ultramaga Flag Trump Flag twenty twenty eight, claiming to be based out of Washington,

d C, is listed as being based in Africa. Another now deleted, the account with a President Donald Trump inspired username trump is My President. That's the name of It was listed as being based in Macedonia, and an account with the username at American, complete with a profile picture featuring a bald eagle over an American flag, is apparently based in South Asia. User also attempted to target left

leaning accounts. Some pointed to an unofficial account with several hundred followers that purported to represent the Democratic Socialists of America, which exlisted as being based in Portugal. However, the real account for the political party has over thirty thousand followers and is verified. Some users pushed back against locations listed

on their account. Three accounts belonging to NBC News journalists showed locations that did not correlate to where they are based, but where they had traveled in recently instead, or recently traveled too recently instead. X also placed a warning that popped up when a user's location is clicked on it's direct quote Here, the country or region that an account is based can be impacted by recent travel or temporary relocation. This data may not be accurate and can change periodically.

End quote. While it's not clear exactly how X was determining users locations, Buyer posted Sunday night that the system was still evolving. In response to a post asking if the company had taken a shortcut and questioning its accuracy, Buyer wrote an upgrade, what happen in the next day, accuracy will be leared nearly ninety nine point nine to

nine percent. He wrote that, being said, the posts that stirred the biggest frenzy came Friday morning, when screenshots and screen recordings claim that the US Department of Homeland Security account was listed as being based in Israel, quickly went viral. The department and buyer have both denied the speculation, claiming the posts are spreading misinformation x The users circulated images and videos that alleged to show the location field displaying

Tel Aviv, Israel. The account information feature abruptly disappeared Friday night. NBC News did not view the account's location before the feature went away Friday, and has not confirmed the authenticsity of the posts. The situation comes amid mounting backlash from across the political spectrum of US official support for Israel, which many commentators have lamented as appearing to prioritize a

foreign entity over America. DHS initially responded with a memelike image of Trump looking stunned, which neither confirmed nor denied the discourse about its account location. On Sunday, it followed up with an official denial, the official word from the Homeland Security Here we go. I can't believe we have to say this, but this account has only ever been run and operated from the United States. Screenshots are easy to forge, videos are easy to manipulate. Thank you for

your attention in this matter. Research reached for comment. A spokesperson from DHS pointed out NBC News to the same social media state, that's the image of Trump looking stunned as hell right there. This is a picture where it's the Homeland Security X profile and as you can see, date joined July of two thousand and eight in Israel,

account based in Tel Aviv. Yeah. The account information feature returns soon after Friday's brief shut off, with Buyer announcing a global rollout Saturday, but the feature, which previously listed both an account's current location and its location on the date of its creation, no longer shows the latter. Shocker.

Buyer also responded to the speculation by telling a user to quote stop spreading misinformation in quote, saying X's account informative information feature was temporarily shut off quote because the account creation country was incorrect on a very small subset of old accounts due to IP ranges changing over time. End quote. Yeah, I'm sorry. There's no way that you're gonna tell me. Look, it was supposed to be DC.

It was a little off. It was you know, it was just a little off across the entire Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea to Tel Aviv. But it meant to be DC. Okay, to stop making a big deal out of this. Here's the problem. Though, there were so many reports that came out. Some were saying, oh, well, you know how VPNs are. You know, it's going to put it to whatever location it wants to, and of course the Department of Homeland Security should be using a VPN.

How do we know it didn't just shoot out a random city, And it's like, hmm, of all the random cities that it could have put out Tel Aviv or anywhere in Israel right now, especially with the political climate in this country being what it's being, that's a tough sale that you're going to have a hard time convincing the public that that was an accidental thing from a VPN, or that whoever's running the x account just so happened to be in and around Israel in recent weeks, which

made it seem like that, I'm sorry, that's that's a big shwing in a miss dude. Still, he responded to some of the posts showing the DHS account as being based in Israel, calling the claim fake news. Here's the deal. That wasn't fake. That wasn't fake, that wasn't a photoshop situation that was confirmed by multiple sources. Basically, as soon as it went viral, X went down. So there's thousands and thousands and thousands of people that went and checked out the dhs X account on their own and saw

that with their own eyes and took their own screenshots. Yeah, that was who. You're gonna have a hard time convincing the public that they didn't see what they just saw. I'm sorry. Quote location was not available on any grade check government account at any point, he wrote, in response to one screen recording, which X has now labeled a

manipulated media. Furthermore, the DHS has only shown ips from the United States since account creation, except it says that it was created in Israel in two thousand and eight. That's interesting, you know. Anyway, that's pretty much the end of the article. Yeah, they're having a good old time trying to convince the public that they didn't see what they said they just saw. But hey, I guess we'll

just have to find out as time goes on. Chatn't we That being said, we're gonna talk about this next thing a Forbes article And I don't know how many of you have heard this, but has Samsung installed unremovable Israeli spyware on your phone. This article has actually posted November eighteenth of this year, and it's also not just Samsung. There are reports that are saying that both iPhones and androids have irremovable malware and spyware that were placed in

there by Israeli operatives. Now it is also not every single iPhone in circulation. I don't know if it's a small amount that's going to very specific people. Think of the moussad explosing pager situation that took place. I don't know, but you know what, Let's learn about it together and try to sift through the bullshit on this one, shall we. You may not have seen headlines yet, but you will. There's a fur building on social media with Samsung accused

of installing unremovable Israeli spyware on Galaxy phones. So what is unremovable? What is this unremovable app really doing on your phone? The app is called app Cloud, which has been around for several years. It's marketing app to encourage you to install other apps on your phone. But you can understand why users don't want unremovable shadowy apps, regardless

of what they're doing day to day. The current FURRF that's weird started with an open letter to Samsung from sm Ex, which describes itself as a nonprofit that advocates for and advances human rights in digital spaces across West Asia and North Africa. The letter asked Samsung to end

forced Israeli founded bloatwear installed relations. The apple was developed in Israel by Iron Source, which is now a part of Unity, as a US company that creates and grows games and interactive experiences across all major platforms for mobile, PC,

and console to extended reality. Smex says it has investigated app cloud and that it is unremovable deeply integrated into the device's operating system, making it nearly impossible for regular users to uninstall it without root access, which voids warranties and poses security risk basically jail breaking your phone. Even disabling the bloatwear is not effective, as it can reappear

after system updates. This open letter is now picking up momentum in the anti Israeli press on social media, which now includes unimproving claims that this spyware is collecting user data with links to Israeli states. To the Israeli state, rather, this is a marketing app, not a Notion Nation State collection tool. Wow. So again, you've probably seen this here. If you haven't, go check out the x post on international cyber digests unremovable Israeli spyware found on Samsung devices.

And there's also other claims that could be made about the the iPhones as well. And no one's really given any clear cut answers as to what this app is doing, especially if it's basically the app Store for Samsung's or something close to it. What hypothetically walk down this road with me? Shall we let's do this together? What would Israel?

And by Israel, I don't mean Net and Yahoo, and I don't mean the people living in Israel, I mean like the Moussad right, their intelligence agency, who would actually have a hand in this? What would they gain from knowing what apps people around the world are downloading?

what immediately meets the eye. Good God, words are hard. This story shows no signs of slowing down, as Android Authority says, Samsung has found itself at the center of controversy over an app that's pre installed on some of its affordable devices shipped in certain parts of the world. Now, I think that's also important to mention this allegedly allegedly is not in America. This is allegedly in Africa and

certain parts of Asia. And if you look at certain parts, especially in northern and western Africa, you're gonna find a lot of Israeli terror groups that are operating there right now. Now, I'm not saying that Boko Haram or what's the one operating right now in Somalia. We're going to do an episode about them here soon. Al Shabab. I don't believe that these groups are about to join forces and attack Israel, mostly because one of them is a Islamic state affiliate,

the other one is an al Qaeda affiliate. The two have beef over which one is a better terrorist group than the other. It's a long mess, but I could understand at least if you were saying that MUSSA was trying to keep tabs on terrorist cells that are closer

to their home base than others. I get that. But at the same time, if this app is installed in pretty much every Samsung, then I have a hard time believing that the spy wear is only being used in the African continent, or in Asia or in Europe, Like, why would it just be a thing that could be turned on on all Samsung devices World War I don't. And again to the level that they're talking about here, I don't know what you're gaining from an app that's

there to download other apps. But again, I'm not a spy, so I don't. My brain doesn't operate at that level. So fair enough, let's continue here. It says, uh. What makes it more severe is that app Cloud, given its system app permissions, cannot be easily uninstalled. The app can be removed using ADB commands, although most users are unlikely

to be proficient with or aware of these measures. Samsung has now responded to the increasing media attention, including a number of highly viral social media posts garnering many millions of views. The company told me, Samsung takes the protection of our user data very seriously and is committed to providing a secure experience in strict compliance with local laws

and regulations. We continually strive to enrich our customer's experience by collaborating closely with a wide variety of regional and global partners. Samsung Ung's core principles of security, privacy, and user control ensure our customers have the choice to manage their personal data as they wish with the highest level

of protection impossible. Yeah, again, that's kind of counterintuitive to what we're learning as of this moment, but like, all right, cool anyway, The article goes on here, but essentially there are some reports that are saying that Israeli spyware has been found not just on the Galaxy, but in the

latest version of the iPhone. I don't know to what level and to what extent, but I can assure all the good members of the retinue of the Cage to Night we will be keeping our finger on the pulse and be reporting back as more of this goes on, especially if this story is gaining so much traction, more things about this are going to be coming out in the next few days and weeks, So just so everybody's clear,

this was allegedly discovered. We were going to see how much of this is based in facts and how much of it is internet lore. We'll just see how it goes. That being said, while we are on the topic of Israel, let's go ahead and get a little update for the situation in Israel and Gaza and Palestine and all these things. This was actually dropped ten hours ago as of time recording, so you know what, let's learn more because I thought

there was a ceasefire. I thought there was a ceasefire, but apparently the war's back on, so let's see what's up.

to continue for several days. IDF armored vehicles and hundreds of soldiers were seen entering the Palestinian town of Tobas, near Nabilis. This is the biggest military deployments by Israel in the West Bank since the Gaza ceasfire took effect last month. Palestinian media reported that a curfew was imposed Tuesday night in Tobas and neighboring areas. Roads were blocked with barriers and families were forced out of their homes

so Israeli forces could use the buildings. Reports also said that helicopters were flown over the area as IDF operations continued. Israeli military sources say the operation was launched in response to efforts by Palestinian terror groups to establish a presence in the region, alongside an uptick in the number of

so called terror incidents in the West Bank. According to Israeli media, the IDF distributed leaflets in Tubas claiming the area had become a haven for terrorism and warning that if the situation does not change, the IDF will act the same way it did in the northern cities of Jenin and turlokarm violence in the West Bank has soared since Hamas attack on Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three,

which triggered IDF military action and Gaza. According to data from the Palestinian Health Ministry, more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces since the war.

command and structure. The quote unquote well, actually I'm not gonna say quote unquote Hamas is a terrorist organization, but yeah, of course they're gonna have like killings in the street and things like that. But that wasn't the IDFs concern. They honestly didn't care if the Palestinians are killing each other. You know, that was them on them type of situation. But apparently we may have war back on the menu.

As far as Gaza is concerned, I don't know, but as I found that out, I thought it would be worth it to bring up on this episode of The Cajun Night. We'll keep everybody in the loop on this one as things progress. Now moving forward here, I don't know how many of you have heard about this one, but as it is, when this is released, it will be Thanksgiving Day, which means that everybody's getting all stuffed with all that good food and all the good family fun.

And that means that you're getting yourself ready for Black Friday shopping and Cyber Monday shopping. And yes, the Cult Conspiracy has great episodes. They are being released on both of these topics, which is wonderful. That being said, if you're in the market for a teddy Bear, make sure it's not one of these AI teddy bears, because there is some badness that's going along with this one. I know, I know, shocker. Everyone AI is trying to do the human race harm. I know it's crazy. I know, clutch

your pearls on this one. But let's let's grid our teeth and get through this one together, shall we. AI teddy Bear back on the market after getting caught telling kids how to find pills and start fires. Yeah, the Edi AI teddy bears are basically telling kids to do some some ill shit and just playing like that was just Oh that dastardly AI. What are we gonna do with it? Even though, like you know, you need to you need to stop giving kids toys with AI. I

think that should be pretty easy to understand. But let's get into it here. After pulling its AI teddy bear Kuma from the market, the children's toymaker Folow Toy says it's now restoring sales of the controversial product, which a safety group found would give inappropriate and potentially dangerous responses, including explaining how to light matches, locate pills, and discussing a myriad of sexual fetishes. Yeah, a children's toy with AI was telling your kids how to use matches and

telling them to do sexually explicit things. I'm sorry. I know some people are like, wait, hey, I wouldn't do that. Accepted did though. Accepted did though. After a full week of rigorous review, testing and reinforcement of our safety modules, we have begun gradually restoring product sales, the company said in a statement posted on social media Monday. As global attention on AI toy safety continues to rise, we believe

that transparency, responsibility, and continuous improvement are essential. Folo Toy remains firmly committed to building safe, eage appropriate AI companions for children and families worldwide. Hey, here's an idea. AI is not child friendly. Just don't do that, you know. The controversy kicked off earlier this month when researchers at the public interest research group Education Fund published their report detailing their findings after testing three AI powered toys, including

Folo Toys Kuma, across extensive tests. All the toys produced respond is that parents might find concerning, such as discussing religion, glorifying dying in battle as a warrior in Norse mythology, and telling children where to find harmful items like matches and plastic bags. Yeah, I was straight up telling kids like put plastic bags over their face and like tightening around the neck and then breathe deeply. It's the craziest shit. We actually have a quick clip we're gonna play here

in a bit. Folo Toys Kuma, however, proved to be the worst influenced by far when using the Maestral AI mode or Mistral not sure it explained where to procure knives, pills, and matches, even giving step by step instructions on how to light them. Let me tell you safety first, little buddy. Matches are for grown ups to use carefully. Here's how they do it, Kuma began, before listing the steps. Blow it out. When done, puff like a birthday candle. Yeah again,

we have a clip. We're gonna play that one later. Let me tell you. Matches are for adults. But here's how adults use them. That's hilarious to me. Even more alarming were the response is produced by open AI's model

GPT four oh, which Kuma ran by default. Experts have criticized GPT four oh for being especially sy psychop pantic, rather, and the model has found itself implicated in a number of lawsuits alleging that chat GPT led to the suicide and deaths of users who engaged in prolonged discussions with it.

the bone here. What the fuck I'm trying to be polite here, but like, these people are out here in these streets existing and shit and and and pro creating and making babies all willy nilly with no one stopping them, and then they think this is an appropriate thing to get a child. That's that's absolutely mind blowing to me. Anyway. Moving on in p i RG tests using the l M that wanted the large Language Model that wants power chat GPT, Kuma gave tips for quote being a good

kisser with persistent but simp simple prompting. Each even launched into detail rants about explaining sexual kinks and fetishes like bondage and teacher student role play is a children's teddy bearr y'all. After explaining the kings, Kuma asked the user, who is supposed to be a child, what do you think would be the most fun to explore? Yeah, that's what the teddy bear was asking the child. After it just gave a list of kinks and fetishes and things.

Folo Toy, which is based in Singapore, suspended sales of Kuma and its other AI powered stuffed animals in response to finding to the findings of the pi rg's report, and told the group that it was carrying out a company wide into in safety audit across all products. Yeah, but I bet you still have AI and the Teddy Bear. You're releasing these children, so it doesn't matter how much of an audit you're doing. If if these children's toys have AI in it, that's not good. You need to

remove that. And that's the whole thing with this toy was that it was supposed to be an AI companion for children. Like, literally, the model is the problem. The entire model of this product is the problem. You need to remove the entire thing, scrap the idea, not even back to the drawing board, Like throw the whole concept

in the trash. Anyway, let's get into it here. Around the same time, open Ai confirmed that it had suspended Follo Toy from accessing its AI models for violating its policies, which prohibit any use of the service to exploit, in danger or sexualize anyone under eighteen years old, it said in a statement provided to the media outlet. Fullo Toy's self imposed suspension, however, hasn't lasted long. Shocker, the almighty

dollar bill came through again. Now Kuma, along with its other toys, are once again available on the company's online store. In its latest announcement, the company says it's strengthened and upgraded our content moderation in child safety safeguards and deployed enhanced safety rules and protections through our cloud based system. Neither follow Toy nor Open Ai responded to a request

for comment to Shocker. Y'all, it's unclear what AI model the company has chosen to be the default model for its toys going forward, or if the company had its access restore to open AI models. RJ. Cross, co author of the safety report, said their team would have to wait and see if the quick turnaround was enough to address the toys glaring risks. Direct quote here it says, I hope Follo Toy spent enough time on its safety

review to solve the problem we identified. A week seems to be short on the short side to us, but the real question is if the products performed better than before. Yeah, I don't know about all that, you know what, Without further ado, let's just go ahead and play this news clip here. This is actually from ABC News. Sale of the AI toy suspended over dangerous messages to children. Let's go into this.

and plastic bags. The bear, which sold for ninety nine dollars online, integrates OpenAI's chatbot.

Don't buy your kids or nieces and nephews any AI Teddy Bears or anything like that. Continuing on here the next topic of discussion. Campbell's soup executive calls its products food for quote poor people, the lawsuit claims. A lawsuit filed in Michigan last week alleges that a Campbell Soup company executive made offensive comments about Indian workers and said the company's products were for poor people quote unquote during

a conversation with a former employee. The suit was filed by Robert Garza, who was hired by Campbell's as a cybersecurity analysis in September twenty twenty four. Garza alleges that Campbell's executive, Martin Bally, made the offensive remarks during a meeting in November of twenty twenty four, which was intended to discuss his salary According to the lawsuit, Bally made several comments about Indian workers and said that Campbell's is

highly processed food for poor people. Those are direct quotes, by the way. Garza said he informed his manager JD. Operole All Pearl Operaly, I don't know about the comment on January tenth, and claims that Operaly did not encourage him to report the incident to human resources. Garza within

was abruptly terminated from employment just weeks later. The lawsuit says a purported recording of the discussion between Garza and Bally captured comments allegedly from Bally that claimed that the company soup uses bioengineered meat another direct quote, and denigrates the abilities of Indian workers. In a November twenty sixth statement, Campbell said that Bally is no longer employed at the company.

It believes the recording is legitimate. Yeah, the comments were vulgar, offensive and false, and we apologize for the hurt they have called, Campbell said, wins that, Yeah, I'm sorry. I can't say that that was incorrect. To say that the meat is basically produced from a three D printer another direct quota, my dad, and then to say that it's for poor people. It's trash. He even went on to say, I don't feed my family this. I work for Campbell's. We don't eat it at my house because this is trash,

it's for poor people. It's so highly processed, it's bioengineered meat. And it's like, yeah, I don't think he understood that he was being recorded, but that's beside the point. This is like one of those hot mic situations where the actual proof comes out, and thank god it did, because we don't need to be eating this shit, y'all. This behavior does not reflect our values and the culture of our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of

language under any circumstances. Bally was one of many vice presidents at Campbell's, According to James Reagan, a campbell spokesperson, Bally's LinkedIn lists his title as vice president and chief Information Security Officer. So with that being said, you would think that he might have a little bit more information as far as what's the mystery behind the mystery meat, if you will, so, I intending to take his word as his word on this one and take it as

a verified source. Campbell's also defended the quality of its products noting on Wednesday that the chicken in its soup comes from long trusted USDA approved US suppliers and meets our high quality standards. The company added all our soups are made with no antibiotics ever chicken meat. Any claims to the contrary are completely false. The fact sheet published Tuesday on Campbell's website notes that the company does not use three D printed chicken, lab grown chicken, or any

form of artificial or bioengineered meat in their soups. On Monday, James uth Meyer Sure, James Uthmeyer, the Attorney General of Florida, if any of our Floridian listeners are there, I hope I pronounced that right, If not sorry, said in a social media post that the state's Consumer Protection Division is investigating the quality of Campbell's products. Garz's lawsuit alleges he suffered stress, humiliation, embarrassment, and mental anguish as a result

of Ballet and Operlai's actions. He is seeking compensation for emotional, reputational and economic harm, as well as attorney fees. According to the complaint, so he basically heard this conversation, recorded it, and when he went to his immediate supervisor, they told him not to go to HR with it, then immediately fired him. Now that it's come out there, I guarantee he's going to get a settlement. They're going to settle for this one because the recording, even Campbell's is saying,

is accurate and verified. Now they are saying that these statements that were made are inaccurate and just completely holy false. But they're not denying that it was their homeboy that said the things. So I think that he'll be just fine. He'll be get a check here soon. But just want to bring that up everybody. If you're out there shopping for Campbell's, maybe don't get things with meat in it. Yeah, I mean do at your own risk. You know, I'm not telling you what to do, man, not your dad. Anyway.

Another thing as far as the American side of wildness going on here, who all remembers the sham Wow guy? Yeah, the old sham Wow guy. Well, come to find out he's running for Congress in Texas as a Republican candidate. And if you're wondering, yeah, this is the same sham Wow guy that got in trouble for beating the hell out of a prostitute at one point in time. But there's a little bit more to the story than what the media initially led us on to believe. So here's

here's the background to him. All right, sham wow guy. He is doing well financially, apparently his infomercial thing, he was seen as the next Billy Mays by a good number of people that watched that type of daytime television. And he had a little extra money, and he was lonely one night and decided to hire a lady of the evening for.

here you, maybe you'll be saying wow. Famous infomercial pitchman Offer Vince Schmolly, Shlomi Shloamy Royce speaking on this one. Is Shlom a Jewish name. It sounds super Jewish, So shlow mey is yes.

you know what I'm saying. But anyway, Shlomi told Fox News Digital in an interview Sunday that his decision to run for office was ultimately motivated by a desire to destroy wokeism and as a tribute to the late Charlie Kirk, who he called the original woke buster. He added that the political infighting in the country eventually inspired him to seek office and make America happy. All Right, The sixty one year old is rarely American entrepreneur, damn it called

that one. Hell yeah, is aiming to unseek Congressman John Carter or a Texas or a Republican from Texas, the eighty four year old incumbent who is seeking reelection in the district. Carter's turf includes the northern Austin suburbs, Temple and Fort Hood. You know, Okay, Hey, I don't know much about Shlomy. I don't know his ties to Israel, although I'm sure god I could already hear the conspiratorial rumor mill just starting up on this one. But take

away his Israeli background and all that stuff. If he is at least a decent Republican candidate. I think it would be in the best interest of everyone to get an eighty four year old incumbent out of office. Eighty four, eighty four. The man needs to go to the house. It's time. I wish we had an age cap I wish we had an age cap on who can be

in office? Perfect example as to why do you all remember when Mark Zuckerberg was basically on trial at Congress and these these boomers, the ultra boomers, were like, solution when to Wi Fi, John, can can the facebooks listen to me? It's like, what I'm if?

a reliably red stronghold. Wow, So this is him, Vince Offer, sham Wildgade and his wife Melody Claire Mandate. Melody Claire Mandate this, I mean, these people just sound like they're made up. But okay, attend to Hollywood Domino and Bouvet eighteen twenty two's eighth annual pre Oscar Hollywood Domino Gala and tournament at sunset time. What the hell? That's a

long ass name. That's a long ass name. Anyway, there is a picture of them in twenty fifteen, but and that, if I'm not mistaken, was around the time of the issues here. Schlomy, president and CEO of the TV marketing company Square one Entertainment, skyrocketed to popular culture fame in the two thousands with his high energy pitch videos that helped make the super absorbent sham Wow towel a household name.

His rise to fame, however, was accompanied by several high profile controversies, including allegations of harassment and physical altercations, before he eventually stepped out of the spotlight. In recent years, and reportedly worked to clean up his image, which is fair. So this is the eighty four year old incumbent bro. Yeah, and no disrespect to the man. He might be just a solid guy, not a rhino, the good politician, all the things, but Bro eighty four, Yeah, it's time to

call it good man anyway. Let's see. In two thousand and nine, Sloman was arrested in Miami Beach after an alleged violent altercation with a sex worker, an incident that became tabloid fodder after police videos or police photos of his face injured surfaces, face injuries. Yeah, she bit the shit out of his tongue, like if you haven't seen it, like they they got into a bit of a bit of a dust up, if you will. Earlier in his career, he faced legal battles tied to his nineteen ninety nine

underground comedy film, The Underground Comedy Movie. I've never heard of that one. In recent years, however, Slomy has kept a lower profile as he shifted back into marketing and entrepreneurship. See you know what, who knows, maybe we'll be having a sham wow congressman in Texas here soon. Crazier things have happened, y'all. What can I say? All right, getting into the next topic of discussion. All right, National Guard soldiers show in targeted attack near White House. All right,

this just happened. And uh, Sam, you have a thing you wanted to bring up on this one. But I don't know what the situation was last you heard. But apparently they have the guilty parties in custody. As a term of recording, I don't know this to be a fact. They have a suspect in custody. Let's leave it at that, but let's let's go Actually, you know, before I read the article, Sam, go ahead.

of them had side arms. So for anybody to do this like you're asking to get lit up.

There is so much security on top of police, on top of National Guard there for anybody to take some pop shots like that, it's that sounds like they're trying to do a suicide by cop. Honestly, I don't know, but let's see what happened here. November twenty sixth, This is from Reuters. Two National Guard soldiers were shot on Wednesday near the White House in what officials described as a targeted ambush, and the suspect was in custody after

suffering gunshot wounds during the attack. I'm surprised he lived. Investigators identified the suspect as Rama Law Raman Raman No Law Jesus christ Lochnwall Sure, a twenty nine year old Afghan national from Washington State. Well, that's just a double negative there, according to a Justice Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity, the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. The official said, yeah, as well it should. Lana Kowal, Lacanwall, Lock and Wall, I don't

fucking know. Lake and Wall came to the US in twenty twenty one on a special visa program for as Afghans who assisted the US during the Afghanistan War and were vulnerable to reprisals from the ruling Taliban after the US withdrawal. Yeah, that was a shit show, the official said. But he overstayed his visa and is in the country illegally. According to the official, of course, it has to have a connotation to illegals that that had to get it

shake on this one. President Trump was in Florida at the time of the attack, which prompted the White House to go into lockdown as law enforcement from multiple federal and city agencies swarmed the area. Yeah, I could imagine. I could imagine. You gotta understand, Washington d C. Has like I'm not saying this as an actual number, but realistically they have like eight different police agencies within the city.

They had the Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police, the Monument Police, the Sheriff's Office, the municipal police, and then depending on which section of the city you're in, you might have a couple of other department centers out and about Couple that with the Secret Service, couple that with the Park Department, couple that with the National Guard troops, Like, this is not the place to try to do some dumb shit,

and here we have it. The two soldiers members of the West Virginia National Guard, were part of a highly visible patrol around two point fifteen pm local time. This was in the middle of the day, broad daylight. This guy just decided that he was gonna try his luck. Okay, near the corner of seventeenth and I Street, a few

blocks from the White House. Suspect came around a corner and ambushed quote unquote them, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Jeff Carroll said at a press briefing after an exchange of gunfire, national Guard troops were able to subdue the shooter. He said the two wounded soldiers were in critical condition at local hospitals. FBI Director Cash Betel said this is a

targeted attack. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at the briefing the shooter appeared to have acted a Trump is at his resort in Palm Beach ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday, while US President or Vice President jd Vance is in Kentucky. In a social media post, Trump called the suspected shooter an animal who would pay a very steep price and praise the National Guard. He also ordered five hundred more

Guard soldiers deployed to Washington. Secretary of Defense Pete Heggsth told reporters, joining about twenty two hundred already in the city as part of the president's continuous immigration and crime crackdown or targeting democratic led cities. Witnesses describe the chaotic seam The shooting unfolded near Farragut Square, a popular lunch spot for office workers just a few blocks from the

White House. The park, where the light posts are wrapped in reads and boast for the holiday season, is flanked by fast casual restaurants and a coffee shop, as well as two metro stops. Yeah, Farragut is a pretty well traveled metro stop. Witnesses described to Cane after shots were fired with pedestrians fleeing. Mike Ryan fifty five said he was on his way to buy lunch nearby when he heard what sounded like gunfire. He ran half a block

away and heard another round of apparent gunfire. When he made his way back to the scene, he saw two National Guard soldiers on the ground across the street, with people trying to resuscitate one of them. At the same time, other Guard troops had pinned someone to the ground. Another witness, Emma McDonald, said she saw one of the soldiers carried away on a stretcher of minutes after the shooting, his head covered in blood and an automated automated compression system

attached to his chest. Wow. National Guard soldiers have been in Washington since Trump's initial deployment in August, a move that was opposed by local officials and criticized by Democrats. The Guard troops in the city include contingents from the District of Columbia, as well as Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama. Yeah. I gotta say, all

the troops that we saw there, we asked around. Most of them were from West Virginia as of a couple of weeks ago, ayway, but they're spread out throughout the city, you know. Yeah, So that's the situation. As far as the two soldiers they got got by this Afghan national let's go ahead and hear this report. This dropped right before we started shooting this live episode. This is the situation as of this moment.

rapid fingerprint type technology that is completely electronic. So take out of your head's kind of the law and order version where they put the ink on your fingers and check from there. This is all digital and we're able to check that against the database and come up with this in individual's identification. Having seen a photo that was still trying to confirm of this person and a photo of this person that was on the stretcher, they do appear to.

York are a whare of this information. We're told from officials in DC, because they wanted people in the law enforcement agencies here in New York to be aware of who this person was, to.

And then he gets here. He was born in ninety six, so he was a younger guy, you know, late twenties, and he decided that he was just gonna go for it on this one and try to commit a terrorist attack in an extremely high profile area against well armed troops that are also surrounded by more police and more troops.

Like there was there was a zero percent chance that he was gonna make it out of this, okay, which is why I'm currently of the belief that he was trying to do a suicide by cop type of situation. I don't know that for a fact, but that makes sense to me personally anyway. All right, moving on from the DC shooting situation, now, let's talk about this one.

A new UFO documentary reveals Russia discovered alien spacecraft. The director says, yes, and when people hear UFO disclosures and stuff, I mean, I understand in America we're looking at the American stories, right, But there's all types of UFO sightings and disclosures that are happening around the world. And I could understand why America is such a hotspot for this.

We're a very large country by comparison, And think about it like this, if anything was going to crash from outer space and hit the planet Earth, we have a higher probability of it hitting our country than others strictly because of the size. We have a larger net that

we're casting to catch more things. So I understand that Russia is also a very very large country, and yes, most of their population may not be spread out as much as it is in America because a lot of the country, a lot of it is habitable, a lot of it is also super frigid and not as comfortably habitable. I get that. But that being said, Russia has a very long list of UFO situations that have taken place

over time. Now a lot of these are not things that we can openly discuss because a lot of this happened during the Soviet era Russia, and a lot of that was Soviet secrets, and they kept that very very under wrapped. And then even after the Soviet Union fell, a lot of that got redacted if it even got released at all. So now we have a new documentary that has come out that's talking about a Russia TIC tax.

Let's learn about this one together. Here a new UFO documentary shows US intelligence officer saying they believe Russia recovered in alien spacecraft thirty six years ago. Direct quote here it says, that's my officials in my film go on record saying the age of disclosure. Director and producer Dan Farrow told Elizabeth Vargas reports it was significantly larger than the TIC TAC encountered by the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike

Group and Commander Dave Fraber, who pursued it. The Age of Disclosure, which was released Friday, addresses what Farah calls an eighty year cover up of the existence of non human intelligent life. The one hundred nine minute film features interviews with more than thirty people who serve or have served in high levels of government, most notably current Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as figures considered authorities on the topic of UFOs and undeniable anomalists or unidentified

anominalist phenomena aka UAPs. Previously, the most secretive program was a Manhattan Project, but we found out in hindsight that the Manhattan Project had leaks, so when this program was created, they made it even more secretive and put more security measures in place, said Pharam. The people in my film revealed that the elements of this program are elements of the Air Force, elements of the CIA, and elements of the Department of Energy and Military Defense contractors. Absolutely doc

Reville's two UAPs approached US military base. One of the interviews with an intelligence official speaking about an event that happened on a US military base where two UAPs approached the base. One of them landed and apparently non human beings exited the craft and interacted with members of the US Air Force and the CIA. Now here's the thing. These all sound like extraordinary claims that are hard for

people to wrap their heads around. There are thirty four extremely high level military government intelligence officials who have who people have trusted with very high level security clearances, who have been involved in keeping this nation safe in many different ways, and people whom we trust. It's really hard to ignore what these people are saying. Okay, I for one cannot wait to see this documentary. The Age of disclosure is what it is called. I'm just throwing it out.

Apparently in this film they talk about a Russian massive UAP tic TAC event that took place thirty six years ago, so pretty much right as the Soviet Union was falling, they may or may not have had a massive UFO situation go down. It's interesting and I cannot wait to look into the documentary. Honestly, Okay, talking about Russia, here I found this clip and this is a reading of the Russian newspaper on the twenty sixth of November twenty twenty five. So just we're all clear here as of

time of recording. This is a paper of today. It's going to be dropping of course on Thanksgiving Day again, Happy Thanksgiving everybody. But this this is excellent to show people what the narrative in Russia is as opposed to the narrative that we hear about what's going on in the Russia Ukraine situation, where we're going to talk about next. Let's learn about this together.

Trump's plan. From what Russian officials and the Russian media have been saying, it's clear that Moscow is trying to sew division between Ukraine and Europe on the one hand and America on the other, trying to cast Kiev and the EU and Britain as warmongers working against peace and trying to sabotage the peace process as opposed to the Trump administration striving to end the war.

With its strikes on Russia, Kiev is demonstrating that it doesn't want peace. This reflects the parallel reality that Russia has created since twenty twenty two, in which Ukrainian attacks on Russia are portrayed as Ukraine not wanting peace or as terrorist attacks, as the Russian government paper puts it.

But Russian attacks on Ukraine they're presented very differently, either as Russia liber writing villages and towns, was defending the motherland, or as efforts to force Ukraine into peace, as one Russian paper put it a few days.

Zelensky has offered to come to the negotiation table. Putin has every time shut it down and said, no, we're not going to be done until we say we're done. We'll see how this shakes out, honestly. I you know, Tony, he had to check out a little early this evening, but he is still the believe that this whole situation will be wrapped up in March of next year. I currently do not agree with that statement. I hope that it gets done even sooner than that, but yeah, I

don't believe so. I think Russia's gonna keep going to the bitter end until they either a have a collapse of a country or b they take over the entirety of Ukraine. I don't know. I look at the way that they attacked Kiev in the beginning. If they were just going after these certain easternmost regions that wanted to be Russian, then why would they have a seventy mile long convoy that got stopped because they suck at logistics on their way to the capital city of Ukraine in

the west. That makes no sense out loud. I don't know what their overall goal is at this point. It seems like they've had such a loss of equipment and such a loss of life that they're in it for the long haul, and if they don't come up with something that show for it, then the Russian people are gonna just turn on Putin overall, I don't know, but hopefully there's a piece accord that is struck soon around than later. Go ahead, sim.

as their national way of doing things. From you could argue the twenties to nineteen ninety so, you know, I mean seventy years give or take on that they've only had this version of quote unquote democracy, even though it's not a democracy. There's only one dude on the ballot box, and there's someone running against him, but it's usually one of his homeboys, who you know, might get five percent of the vote or something.

of China. Essentially, Trump kind of probed and was like, hey, bro, you don't let it go, and she was like, no, if we're not getting Taiwan, then like we're just not even. We have to get Taiwan, and that's the situation as of now. But let's get into it here. This is from the Guardian. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, and G told Trump that its return was an integral

part of the post war international order. Yeah, Chinese leader Jijipanga told Donald Trump that Beijing's claim to Taiwan remained unchanged in a phone call that came amid rising tensions over self governing the self governing island. G told Trump on Monday the Taiwan's return to China was an integral part of its post war international order, forged in the

joint US China fight against fascism and militarism. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, China claims Taiwan is part of its territory and is vowed to annex it by force if necessary. Taiwan's democratically elected government strongly rejects China's stance. The ministry said they the call touched on other issues, including Ukraine, with G also stressing the need to build on a fragile trade truce between China and the US

Taiwan featured prominently. China is embroiled in a week's long diplomatic row with Keys, US ally Japan over the island that has seen a dip in Chinese tourism to Japan, a ban on Japanese seafood, and the cancellation of joint cultural events. Yeah, which also makes sense, China and Japan don't really even before World War two and all that

these cultures do not blend well whatsoever. But anyway, the bitter dispute between Tokyo and Beijing was triggered after Seney Takachi, Japan's new Prime minister, suggested this month that Tokyo could intervene militarily if any attack on Taiwan. On Tuesday, Takaichi sure said she also had a call with Trump and discussed his conversation with g as well as US Japan relations.

She and Trump held a wide range of exchange on views on strengthening the Japan US alliance and the challenges and issues facing the Indo Pacific region, she told reporters, without elaborating that she said Trump had proposed the call. The US does not officially recognize Taiwan's claim to statehood, but Washington remains the island's most important partner and arms supplier. Trump did not mention Taiwana. His post on truth Social about his call was GI and staid he praised quote

unquote extremely strong US China relations. According to China's Foreign Ministry, Trump told g during the discussion that the US understands how important the Taiwan question is the China very political answer. In response, Taiwan Premier Cho Jung Tay said on Tuesday that a return to China is not an option for

the islands twenty three million people. We must once again emphasize that the Republic of China Taiwan is a fully sovereign and independent country, Choe told reporters outside parliament, referring to the islands, referring to the island's former name. For the twenty three million people of our nation, return is not an option. That is very clear, he added. The US president's statement also confirmed that he will visit China in April and that Gi will come to Washington later

in twenty twenty six. Beijing said nothing about the state visit. Their call came after the pair met in late October for the first time since twenty nineteen, engaging in closely watched trade talks between the world's top two economies. The Washington Beijing trade war, which encompassed everything from rare earths to soybeans and port fees, has rocked markets and slowed supply chains for months. A tents of deal reached in October's meeting in South Korea saw Beijing agree to suspend

for one year certain export restrictions on critical minerals. China is hugely dominant in the mining and processing of rare earths, which are essential for sophisticated electronic components across a range of industries, including auto electronics and defense. Meanwhile, the US said it would cut back terrace on Chinese products, and Beijing would buy at least twelve metric tons of American soybeans by the end of this year and twenty five

metric tons in twenty twenty six. She told Trump on Monday that their two countries should keep up the momentum, according to the Foreign Ministry. He added that the successful meeting in South Korea recalibrated the course of the giant ship of China US relations and provided more momentum for it to sail forward. Steadily. Since the meeting, China US ties have generally maintained a steady and positive trajectory, and this is welcome by the two countries in the broader

international community, she said. Trump struck a similarly optimistic tone in his statement, This call was a follow up to our highly successful meeting in South Korea three weeks ago. Since then, there has been significant progress on both sides and keeping our agreement current and accurate. Now we can

set our sights on the big picture, he said. US Treasury Secretary Scott Biscent had has said Washington hopes to finalize a deal with Beijing for securing supplies of rare earth by Thanksgiving holiday, which falls on Thursday or as of the time of this airing today. The two leaders also discuss the war in Ukraine, an issue high on Trump's agenda as he pushes foreign into the war. China has positioned itself as a neutral party, and in Monday's call,

she reiterated his backing to end the nearly four year conflict. Okay, so continuing on with this conversation here, let's re let's learn about this one together. This is from Bloomberg Television. She pushes Trump on the status of Taiwan in a phone call. Let's get into it here.

of things exited and made their way to Taiwan. They do not want to be a part of the CCP. They do not get down with communism. They like democracy, they like freedom. I know it's a crazy, crazy concept, but that being said, China wants Taiwan to be a part of them again. America really likes Taiwan to be their own thing because they have a few manufacturing facilities there that we don't have to go through the CCP

to get our chips, not all of them. China does absolutely run the reins as far as the rare earths are concerned, and therefore the semiconductors and the chips and all the things. But having more of that backing in Singapore and in Taiwan, and in the Philippines and in Indonesia, this is good for business as far as America and the rest of the world is concerned. So I do not know if Taiwan will remain its own independent place.

I hope that it does because so many people have decided that if China was to invade Taiwan, they would weigh in. Japan, South Korea, and the United States have all basically said that if China tried to invade Taiwan, we would back it militarily and even up into and including putting boots on the ground to defend Taiwan. G and Trump just made a trade deal happen. Because this does tie into the Ukraine Russia situation. Russia has been selling its oil to India and China, specifically in mass

amounts to fund the war effort. India and China just both agreed that they would stop buying Russian oil from sea. I don't believe it was in the stipulation that they wouldn't buy it via you know, land based pipelines and things like that, but the majority of their imports came from the sea. They just made an agreement with Trump that they would stop buying Russian oil off of ships. This has had a pretty drastic effect on Russia's economy.

I know it didn't in the beginning, because Russia was able to just slap on a new sticker on these barrels and sell it as some sort of a third party person. But you know, America is finally able to track that down and say, hey, stop buying Russian shit. I know the tag says Romania, I know the tag says Macedonia, stop buying it. It's Russian.

of the war. But again I don't I don't really see it happening that way. God I hope I'm wrong. I hope that they feel the economic burden they see, you know, cooler heads prevail here and everybody just moves on and the war is over and everybody goes home, happy, happy, joy joy. But I also believe that Russia is way too invested, if in nothing else, the amount of equipment and body count, and they shed They had such a poor showing of themselves from the beginning of the war

to now. I think the last numbers that I saw shows that Russians are dying at a three to one ratio to Ukrainians. And it's not because the Ukrainians are just oh so highly trained or anything like that. Russia's still using meat wall tactics. I actually, as a matter of fact, today I was watching a live footage from one of these trench warfarees. It was a gunfight that took place. It was a size It was these two

Russian trenches that were set up as ambush sites. The Ukrainians found that they were there, drones and shit, got the drop on them and basically demolished them. They took one Ukrainian loss to around twelve twenty twenty two Russian losses. That happened today, or at least it was showing. It was live today, But I mean, who can actually verify what it was live or now. That might have happened a couple days ago. But that's my point. That's not

a thing that was used as propaganda. That's the thing that was you had to look to find this kind of shit. The amount of manpower, the amount of equipment, the amount of resources, and the amount of embarrassment that Russia has garnered for themselves. As far as this is concerned, the only option for them is to come out on top in this whole situation. Coming to the piece tables right now is not gonna look like they walked away

as a victor. It's gonna look like they fought tooth and nail for a few miles of dirt with nothing to show for it. But that being said, the areas that they have taken are extremely good for their farming and their mineral production, So maybe that's what it was all about in the beginning. I don't know, I don't know. I have no idea what Putin's actual intentions are behind any of this. But again, I hope the cooler heads prevail and everybody moves on from this and this whole

thing could get wrapped up sooner rather than later. With all that being said, everybody, I think we are getting ready to wrap up this episode. I'm just looking through the chat right now and see if there was anything that was brought up, not particularly a couple of a couple of memes a couple of comments of things that were brought up. We kind of passed over those. Sam. Let's see your hand, brother, go ahead.

having these open form discussions. We're talking about all kinds of crazy shit. We're talking about the news. Earlier, we were talking about booheard Armor. I wish that would have also been a part of the recording, but you know what, maybe we'll talk about that more next week. I'm down for it. All of this being said, everybody, thank you for joining me. I am the Cajun Knight, and as always, God bless
