"And yeah, I'm hoping that before, like you said, you know, the election cycle next year, it's going to be crazy. Now, there are two upcoming hearings where SEC Chair Gary Gensler will be testifying. Can you tell us about those? Yeah, this is gonna be actually a really important set of hearings here. So the first one coming up is next week. That's going to be the Senate bank committee. They haven't had Gary Gensler in front of them, actually, I think in all this year so far. So it's gonna be a very important hearing in terms of getting an update on a variety of rules. Now, mind you, we know a lot about Gary Gensler's approach to crypto, and he's gotten both flak from Republicans and Democrats. But at the same time, he's also done a lot of other rules around ESG and private funds that have also ticked off both Democrats and Republicans. And so I think what we're seeing, and I think the court case is a good example of this, we're seeing an agency really stretch its bounds in terms of what they think they can and can't do. They're definitely going a pretty aggressive regulatory route here. And the crypto folks are not happy. The folks on the ESG side are not happy. Obviously, the private funds are not happy. And there's a variety of constituents on Capitol Hill who's saying, look, maybe crypto wasn't the tripwire for me to be angry at Gary Gensler. But this other element or other push he's doing on the regulatory side is not good in my book here. And I think that's what we're seeing. We're seeing the popularity of Gary Gensler. There wasn't much to begin with candidly. I mean, he cleared the Senate with not too much bipartisan support, but he did clear it. That's weighing very, very rapidly, especially with the aggressive agenda. So the question is, how much farther can he go as a regulator to push these bounds on a variety of fronts until it realizes that, hey, look, the political blowback is so much here that he has to really reign it in. And the court losses, especially recently with Grayscale and Ripple, are really starting to add up. And we're starting to see other industries who are being affected by the SEC overreach say, hey, look, they're starting to lose in the courts. We're going to file a suit as well on our front. And that's really just going to jam up a lot of the SEC's time and work here. So I think he's going to get a lot of political pushback here, especially in the Senate. It's going to be a little more tame than the House. The House is a little more looking for the jabs there, but I think we're going to see some good bipartisan pushback. And then there's the meeting at the end of the month with the House Financial Committee, is that correct? Correct. The House Financial Service Committee, that will be on the 27th. And so actually it's ironic Coinbase is going to be doing a day on the Hill as well. They do this once every six months, but it's like a big crypto day on Capitol Hill where a variety of projects, as well as Coinbase themselves, present to the folks on Capitol Hill, those who work on those finance service committees and those who don't as well, who don't really know much about crypto saying, look, here's a lot of the cool things in crypto that you should, as Hill staffers or as members of Congress, really look towards. The future is really bright for this industry. You might've only have heard of FTX. I know it's going to be dominating the news cycle for the next couple of months with the trial, but they really want to shift the narrative to look, look, this is really important to see what all this industry is. It's not just SPF. It's not just FTX. There's a lot of innovation happening on a variety of fronts, both financial and not. And I think that's going to be really curious timing. I didn't plan it like that where Gensler was testifying the same day they were going, but I think that last week also with shutdown probably being that week as well is going to be very hectic. But for crypto, I think it's going to be really good educational opportunities because behind the scenes, we're educating 300 plus members of Congress and their staffs what crypto is because a large majority of these members of Congress and their staff, they haven't sat through a crypto hearing. They sit on armed services or they sit on science based technology or education. They don't deal with these issues. And so we really have to get these folks up to speed very quickly and understand why they should support the stablecoin bill and the market structure bill. And that's a tough task ahead.

"Welcome back talking to John Zamirak. So, John, we're talking about your dialog over at Stream dot org with Jason Jones on what's going on in Russia and the Ukraine. So the point we're trying to make is several things can be true at once. What Putin is doing is violent and horrible. That is true. The U.S. helped to provoke it. That is also true by pushing NATO further and further, closer and closer to Russia's borders. If you're talking about making Ukraine part of NATO is every bit as provocative to Russians as first shift putting nuclear weapons in Cuba. And John F. Kennedy was willing to risk a nuclear war to stop Russia having missiles in Cuba. Russians see NATO's presence in Ukraine as being as much of a threat as John Kennedy saw nukes in Cuba. And John Kennedy was willing to risk a nuclear war over that. So will Putin be. So these these Republicans especially talking about welcoming Ukraine into NATO. They are they are literally tap dancing on a minefield, but they're all nuclear weapons and we're going to get blown up. So, yes, what Putin's doing in Ukraine is wicked and aggressive and terrible. Yes, the U.S. helped to provoke it. No, we should not risk the destruction of American cities in order to stop it. Yes, it needs to be stopped. OK, we need to call for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and a negotiated peace, which involves some tradeoffs. Ukraine is going to have to give up some land, land that was full of Russian speakers before the war. And people will say, oh, you're appeasing Putin. You're rewarding aggression. I would remind them that the southwest of the United States was conquered from Mexico in a war of naked aggression by the United States. And we're not giving that back to Mexico. Sometimes wars of conquest result in the revision of borders. And looks like Russia is going to have to be given a piece of Ukraine in return for leaving the rest of it in peace. And what it might have to be is a tradeoff that they get that part of the country that they had taken up to a certain date. And then Ukraine is allowed to join NATO. I don't think Ukraine and NATO is safe. I don't think it's wise. It's a nuclear war tripwire in an unstable country that run by corrupt politicians, half of whom have been bought off by Russia. I really think NATO should be dissolved. I think NATO has long outlived its usefulness. It's a suicide pact right now. It's a nuclear suicide pact and it serves no purpose. I agree. We've talked about this on the program before. I find it bizarre. And again, I always think maybe I'm missing something. But when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, why did NATO exist? NATO existed because of the Soviet Union, not because of Russia. And the idea that there are these people pretending that Russia is like, you know, the Soviet Union under Brezhnev, I don't get it. I mean, and I guess you make the case that it's just that they really are, you know, neocon warmongers, that this is good for business. It's good for business. They enjoy feeling tough. They kind of spice their testosterone level a little bit to fantasize about other Americans, blue collar Americans going over there and kicking some Russian butt while they sit in Foggy Bottom and drink their frappuccinos. But here's another important point that Jason and I got into. There's a problem on the alternative right, the part of the right that we trust. You know, Tucker Carlson, Gateway Pundit, all the people you and I have come to trust. Why have we come to trust them? Because they were right about COVID.

"Morning. What's going on in orbiting? Is there a deal? How much is it going to cost the New Yorkers? Is New York and the survive as the empire city? Well, where it is today is star reporter from New York Post for Albany. We have Zach Williams and Zach, give us a briefing. What the heck is going on? Well, the newspapers, everybody says the deal is done. What do you know, what do you hear? Well, the governor surprised everybody by announcing a $229 billion budget deal Thursday night. After state lawmakers had left the capitol for the week and, you know, there's a lot there. She secured changes to bail reform. There's a raise in the minimum wage. There are new ban on new gas hookups in new buildings that will begin at the beginning of 2026. So it's been in all of this comes after weeks of overtime negotiation to be between the governor and Albany Democrats who control the state Senate and assembly. And you know, we're all just kind of absorbing it now. We don't have budget bills quite yet expected probably early either late on Sunday or early in the week. But it's been a tumultuous budget season like no other that I've seen in my 5 years in the capital. And I think colleagues with longer memories would say the same. Bill reform, do you know any additional details on that? Are we going to feel safer walking around our city or state? Well, the governor put it this way when I asked. The change she secured in the budget was reported actually a couple of weeks back and basically it will remove for bail eligible offenses, a requirement that judges impose the least restrictive conditions needed to ensure someone shows up in court. What does that mean? Well, first we had bail reform and it said that. And then later they made various tweaks that said, well, if somebody has been charged with a new crime or if they have a record of this to that or this and that and a lot of judges complained that they were kind of confused, you know, do I go with the tweaks or do I go with the original law? The governor pointed that out when I asked, you know, how will mixing the least restrictive stand of the bill eligible expenses, you know, make New Yorkers safer. And she put it that way. Now judges will have more clarity on when they can impose sale and when they can not. But at the same time, the governor gave up a different proposal. One of the things that really that much attention, but one in which criminal defenders were up in arms about. Basically a few change words here and there that would have effectively meant in New York that Bill would not would no longer be solely to ensure someone returns to the court. That was a law passed in the early 1970s. Local was proposing some changes to it, but they ended up abandoning them in negotiations, but she did add one other justification. He pointed out that there have been a string of very high profile since stational crimes involving people who were bail eligible, but for whatever reason, were released, and then went on to be accused of other crimes. So, you know, she pointed out that newspapers need to be talking about the New York Post a little bit there. You know, I've really brought this issue to the public's attention. Anytime again in recent years, and so those are two reasons why she felt that this change was justified. One to give judges more clarity and another to kind of just address the broader sense among the public that crime after historic lows, it's starting to get out of control of it. And getting any point done at all that just says we can fail reform, which seemingly the standard on that front of government wants a need. And she met it for what it's worth. Well, I understood. And. Have they recognized that so many people are half a million people, the exodus, they're out of not paying New York, state taxes anymore. And how do they deal with your budget? How much was last year's budget in comparison to what they just passed? Oh, are you put me on the spot there? If I remember off the top of my head, it was somewhere around $212 billion last year. So they're going up. They're going up a lot. They're going up almost $20 billion. Is there going to be somebody around to pay it? Well, definitely billions of dollars. I'm going off my head on the last line number. But something like that. Definitely higher. And one controversial proposal where hoku held the line was this push to raise taxes on the wealthy. And a lot of folks will point out that wealthy folks have a lot of money after all, but then again, you know, wealthy people pay a disproportionate share of state income taxes and some saying raise it too much. More and more of them are going to go to lower tax states like Florida. So the governor held the line on that. But one other big issue that she brought up brought to you the table was this affordable housing plan. Everyone knows there's not enough housing in New York City, the suburbs, and even upstate, but housing is tricky political issue and the governor ran into a wall of opposition in the suburbs, particularly in the assembly, where a lot of members, you know, face kind of a political choice on the one hand, you could accede to this proposal that would either that would impose housing targets, 3% down state and every couple of years increase your housing stock by 3%. But the political price and cases, some of these suburbs, they like things that the way they are and they don't want affordable housing, right or wrong, that is a political consideration for many of legislators while they pushed this proposal off the table. So the government well, me and you are old enough to remember to remember why Andy spano who was Westchester county exact lost the election is was it because president Obama forced sexually housing in the Westchester? Is that going? Or is something along those lines? I mean, there's a law of stories of suburban politicians who either because of taxes or housing or one of other or any other of these political tripwires. You know, had to pay a price, you know, the suburbs are a tricky political puzzle and the governor shared in figure about this time around. She says she's going to still keep pushing her house and proposals in the weeks that remain a legislative session, which ends today. But everyone knows the governor has by far the most leverage in the state budget process. And a seemingly works which is going to have to wait until next year to try anything similarly indigenous. Understood. What else do you want to tell me or please? We'd love to you up. I am a New Yorker. I love New York. I love New York City. New York City's budget I heard is going to be a 107 billion. And that's a 107 billion is an addition to the 229. Well, what I would have to say is while this budget does address a lot. Again, $229 billion. That's a lot of spending, but housing, public safety, and a few other touchy issues remain open in the weeks that remain in the legislative session. We'll have to see what happens when the legislators are going to have a bit more leverage over the governors and during the budget process. But I envision a couple a few more weeks of quite a bit of fighting over some of these issues before they leave for the summer in June. Understood. Well, Zach, you know, I pray for our city. I pray for our state and I pray, you know, we survive. That's the spirit. Optimism. I'll take it. Thank you so much. And God bless you and God bless New York and America. Thank you. Catch you next time. Will this today's Melissa derosa? She is a democratic strategist and she was governor Andrew Cuomo's right hand person. And here she is today this Sunday morning to give us an update. What's going on in a Democratic Party? Melissa, give us an update. What's going on in Washington? They're having a big event this weekend. They have the big dinner they usually have in Washington. Give us an update. Great to be back, John. So as everyone knows, the big news of the week is that President Biden has thrown his hat in for reelection and doing sort of months long speculation as to whether or not he was actually going to go ahead and go through with it. And that stands that question has been now asked and answered. So look, I think that by all counts, it's looking more and more like this is going to end up being a Biden Trump rematch. And so I think that's what we can expect. And frankly, I think we can expect the same exact result we got last time. But a lot of Democrats were saying that it was as high as 70% that didn't really want Biden, but does anybody have the courage to stand up and say, no, we don't want them or they just in a secret ballot to 70% say we don't want

"Only 18 pages, many with significant redactions of quote personally identifiable information on quote. Specific nonpublic information about FBI investigations, sources and methods. That's the line they always use. That prevents the committee from fully assessing the content and context of the documents and obtaining information, requested from the bureau. Now, you see the cover up, you see the censorship, you say Ellie gives the middle finger to the Republicans in the House. This is why I did test this FBI director. He doesn't even show them any respect. He's got enormous power, enormous authority The limited information that was provided to the committee makes clear that we must possess all responsive material without redactions. From this selective production, we know that the FBI relying on information derived from at least one undercover employee sought to use local, religious organizations as new avenues for tripwire and source development. For example, in the section of the document entitled opportunities, the FBI wrote and I quote, in addition to redaction, engage in our outreach to the leadership of other society of saint Pius, the tenth chapels, to the FBI Richmond area of responsibility, the sensitized these congregations that a warning signs of radicalization and to enlist their assistance to service suspicious activity tripwires. So they want priests and other parishioners to spy on parishioners. On behalf of the FBI. The FBI similarly noted two other opportunities to engage in outreach with religious institutions in the Richmond area, citing a desired quote to sensitize the congregation to the warning signs of radicalization. And a list there assistance to service suspicious activity tripwires. This outreach plane even included contacting so called quote mainline Catholic parishes. And the local quote, I can't see. Leadership, the FBI also expressed an interest in quote leveraging existing sources and or initiating type 5 assessments to develop new sources. With the placement and access to report on suspicious activity, this is unbelievable. You better damn well believe the FBI had a big presence on January 6th that they were all over the place. And here they are now trying to secrete themselves into Catholic churches. I want you to think about this. On top of the Internet, where the FBI inserted itself on top of several elections were the FBI inserted itself. Spying on the Trump campaign. This is shocking. That's why I call it the American Stassi. It's changed since I was working at the Department of Justice. It's simply not the same. Jordan goes on, this information is, have you heard this today, by the way? Anywhere? Has anybody taken the time to go through this letter with you? No, they haven't. This information is outrageous and only reinforces the committee's need. For all FBI material response or do I request the documents produced a date? Show how the FBI sought to unless Catholic houses of worship. As potential sources to monitor and report on their parishioners. Americans attend church to worship in congregate for their spiritual and personal betterment. They must be free to exercise their fundamental First Amendment rights. Without wearing that the FBI may have planted so called tripwire sources or other information in their houses of worship. Although the FBI claims to have numerous and rigorous, a policies to protect First Amendment rights, the FBI's Richmond document plainly undercuts these assertions. The document itself shows that its contents, including its proposal to develop sources and Catholic churches, were reviewed and approved by two senior intelligence analysts. And even the local chief division council. And we know from whistleblowers that the FBI distributed this document to field offices across the country. It's unclear, however, how many FBI employees explored new avenues of tripwire and source development in Catholic houses of worship across the countries, the result of the FBI's Richmond document. Accordingly, an in light of your disregard of our earlier voluntary request, please find attached to subpoena. For the requested documents and information, signed chairman Jim Jordan. This is a crucially important constitutional battle now. If the FBI flips off, chairman Jordan and his committee flips off the House of Representatives. What then? Surely they must have some kind of plan. To deal with this becomes very difficult because the FBI director walks across the street, goes up the elevator a few steps. And meets with the attorney general, his boss. Their buddies, and the attorney general has no intent. The punishing his FBI director. None. So the Catholic Church, and you parishioners are being targeted. I told you before if they can do all these things to Trump, if they can do all these things. They're only going to get more aggressive, and they're only going to get worse. Parents under attack, pro lifers under attack, back. Mud

"I'm watching once again, coverage of the story. I want you different media outlets report on the Trump and dive in and talk about all this stuff. And I go, everybody's missing what I think is the biggest point, right? The biggest point that I remember anybody talk about this at all yet, seriously. And I think this could be the most insane thing to watch. First of all, they're on edge already. In a New York City, they today told every single NYPD employee. Everyone officer they have to go to work. They say every single one of you needs to be here, be in uniform and needs to show up. Despite the fact that nothing is to happen until around Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, they're just wondering if something's gonna happen beforehand, which I think is pretty unlikely. I mean, look, this is going down in Manhattan. There's not exactly a lot of Republicans there. It's not exactly a huge Trump contingent in Manhattan. These people would have to travel in to do this, which is the reason why the January 6th thing was so obvious because you had people coming from all over the country, bust in to go to this event, and they were pissed off. And so you knew there was a potential for some explosive stuff there. This is going to be different, I think. I mean, there's still going to be people and they're still going to be some stuff going on. But again, everybody is missing the big point. Here's what's going to happen, all right? On Tuesday, allegedly, Trump is going to fly up and he's going to go to this court in Manhattan. The court is not like you think it is. They have all kinds of underground tunnels that go to the court. So most likely scenario is that the former president will go in one of these secret underground tunnels everywhere. Yes, and like the Ninja Turtles, they are able to bring people in and out without showing anybody that they're there. So he'll probably go in that way, then he'll be digitally fingerprinted and then they'll take a mugshot. That mugshot may not be released because in New York, they don't just by default as they do in other states like Florida, just release a mugshot. So we might never see that. We might see that. Here we go. This is where we get to the big part. What's Trump been doing since this indictment was announced. Ceiling, you just mentioned this earlier in the show. What has he been doing? Truth is he's been true thing like crazy. He's posting to his supporters and he's saying everybody get fired up and he said previously you got to get out in protest, yada yada yada. Now there is such a thing on a legal case, especially one like this where a judge can give an order. These are the two words that nobody is saying right now that are probably the most chaos potential words. Gag order. If a judge in this case says I'm issuing a gag order, it means none of the parties involved can talk about the case. He's not going to go along with that. Right, so if the judge tells the former president, you can't talk about this anymore. Until we go further down the legal rabbit hole here, you're not allowed to post on true social about this. You're not allowed to talk about it. You're not allowed to do interviews about it. You're not allowed to put statements out about it. You're not allowed to do any of that. There's a gag order on this case. This is the most important thing. If Trump can't stop himself and he continues to do that, you know where he goes? He goes to jail. He actually goes to jail, like they handcuff him, they book him for real, and they put him in jail potentially until this trial went down. And then his secret serviceman go to jail with him? Yes, and they go with him and they have like this whole process. The cavity check as well. I don't know how far they go. They probably do things different because of his status. It shouldn't be that way. They're not putting them in PMI TA. No, no, no, they'll be treated very, very differently. I would imagine. And this is the biggest thing that nobody is getting right now. If the judge simply says there's a gag order on all parties on this case and ask yourself the question, do you think Trump is going to stop talking about it? Hell no. And if the answer is no, what happens? They have to arrest him if he's violating the gag order repeatedly, and then we have chaos. Then we have some chaos to watch. That is going to be a wild ride and nobody seems to be catching on to that piece of this puzzle so far. What do you think, let us know, go to the news junkie dot com, hit record on your first dispatch today. I think if the judge doesn't say that immediately, the judge could say after more and more of the posts on true social or wherever else Trump wants to post, to say afterwards, there's a gag order. I just think that's the real tripwire here where we could see some real social unrest if it happened that way. Christina on Twitch says he literally can not stop talking even if he tried. I just can't envision a scenario no matter where you're at politically, where I could picture the former president hearing that there's a gag order about this case and then adhering to that gag order. I don't think he'll do that. I think he'll keep talking. And then he'll make it a situation where they have to do something about it. All of this kind of, I mean, it sets a precedent, but we don't know if that'll ever happen again in the future. Now, is this do we know if going to stop him from running? No, it wouldn't. No, he could be in jail and it wouldn't stop him from running. You know, like you could still be a felon or is it misdemeanor? No, it's a felony. This is a misdemeanor that was elevated to a felony. So it would be a felony still run for president. You could be in prison and run. Joe Exotic is doing it or at least saying he's going to join. There was a socialist candidate once who ran for president from behind by the question, if you and I mean, there's a whole lot of things that have to happen for this to actually come to fruition. If you ran for president from prison. Yeah. And you were elected president. Do they release you from prison to participate? That's uncharted waters. If you're in if you're in state prison, then you can't pardon yourself as president. If you were in federal prison and you got elected president, you all you have to do is pardon yourself. Which will be the coolest move ever. Maybe the first damn thing that you do. I would like to pardon myself. If I were the chief of staff for old prison president, and everybody shows up to the prison for his swearing in because he can't do it on Capitol Hill. Yeah. I would have the pardon paperwork ready like sign it and we'll take you out of here. That would be insane. I don't know what would happen in that situation, but I do know that you can run for office from behind bars because it has happened before. Or we're going to see what you say in just a moment here, those dispatches coming in from the news junkie app and the news junkie dot com. I saw this story and I go, well, this is not great. What do we do with this? In loveland, Colorado. You probably won't hear this out there anywhere else, but I thought it was

"So Merrick Garland doing just an amazing job. Merrick Garland had to sit in front of a bunch of senators. And it turns out it did not go unbelievably well for him. So it began with senator Ted Cruz grilling America Garland on the fact that the DoJ really did virtually nothing to stop people from protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices in the aftermath of the leak of the decision that overturned roe versus wade. Merrick Garland could have arrested a lot of those people because it turns out that it is illegal to attempt to use intimidation against a judge. It's against federal law. He didn't do any of that, so Ted Cruz pushed him on this. Merrick Garland, of course, had no answer. So you just said yes, it's a crime to protest at the home of a judge. Same goes for jurors, by the way, with the intent of influencing a case. But in the wake of the leak of the Dobbs decision, when rioters descended on the homes of 6 Supreme Court Justices, night after night after night, you did nothing, the department did nothing. When these same groups posted online information about where the justices worship or their home addresses or where their kids went to school, you again sat on your hands and did nothing Your failure to act to protect the safety of the justices and their families was an obvious product of political bias. He happens to be true that that's true. I got very angry and then he's like, I want to answer the question, but he answered the question was, I put people from the DoJ outside the justice. Yes, but did you arrest anyone? Because I noticed that you have a lot of eagerness to arrest people who disagree with your political point of view. This is the point that senator Josh hawley from Missouri was making when he asked Merrick Garland. He said, you know, I noticed that you guys are perfectly fine. Targeting Catholics. It's strange. So you want to rest people outside justice's houses. You have no record of that. But you're perfectly willing to, at gunpoint, go and arrest a Catholic activist who was involved in a bit of a bit of a tussle with a person who was insulting his 12 year old son. Here's Josh alley going after Merrick Garland. We're supposed to hate long guns and assault style weapons. You're happy to deploy them against Catholics and innocent children. Happy to. And then you haul them into court in a jury acquits him in one hour. I notice a pattern though, the FBI field office in Richmond, on the 23rd of January of this year, issued a memorandum in which they advocated for, and I quote, the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development against traditionalist Catholics, their language, including those who favor the Latin mass, attorney general, are you cultivating sources and spies in Latin mass parishes and other Catholic parishes around the country? The Justice Department does not do that. It does not do investigations based on religion. I saw the document you said. What did you do? It's appalling. I am in complete agreement with you. Well, then why was it put out? And why does this seem to be, unfortunately, a pattern inside garlands at DoJ? So more on this in just one second. First with everything going on in

"I can just see that 2012 Camry in your driveway with like the ceiling liner kind of hanging down a little bit. It came undone in one spot and it just kept going for me. No, those ceiling liners last forever. They sure do. Way beyond 2022. I like the idea that people actually might think that they gave us like Camry's. No, it's true. I mean, seriously, there's still old episodes that had that ad embedded in it. It's amazing. Then we'll go away. They really got their money's worth out of that one. Yes, and still do. One of the interesting uses of silly string popped up during the war in Iraq when the U.S. Military, although they didn't officially endorse it and buy this stuff for the troops, which I'm not sure why they wouldn't. They would use them to find IEDs and tripwire, so they would go up to the doorway of a room, and they would spray silly string around, and see if they were if it hung on invisible trip wires, not invisible, but hard to see trip wires. Yeah, which is really awesome. It's kind of like Catherine Zeta-Jones spraying that powder or whatever. Yeah. In that one movie. I can't remember that, I don't remember, Thomas Connor fair, maybe in the show. It was the one with Sean Connery. I can't remember the name of it, but it was just 90s dumb movie. But yeah, same thing, but using silly string in Iraq. Taking out IEDs rather than trying to steal a diamond or something. That's just some differences, but it's the same principle. Yeah, and there was kind of a cool story from 2007 when I think a soldier's mother in New Jersey, they wanted to get their hands on some of this stuff. And so she mounted a drive and collected about 80,000 cans of silly string to send to the troops. I think the sort of bummer ending in that story is she had trouble getting it shipped or something. I think a lot of it went bad. I never saw any time there's not a great follow up. It's probably not a great ending. Or the media just got bored with it. They're like, we're really, can we just write a listicle again? I've got it now, chuck. The 2012 Camry. It's ready. Are you ready? Is that what it was? No. I still don't have it. So if you heard us listing all these ingredients, even though free on 12 isn't in there anymore, you might think that it's probably not something that's great for the environment. And like you said, in the 70s and 80s, kind of right as this was being born, they immediately were started to get rid of CFCs and HCFCs, hydro, chloro, fluoro, carbons. The greatest named carbons of all. Yeah, there's a lot of letters in that word. One of the problems was that they replaced hydrochlorofluorocarbons with just plain old hydrofluoric carbons. So you can tell fewer letters, obviously it's not nearly as dangerous, right? The thing is, they're fine for the ozone layer. They basically do nothing for the ozone layer, but keep it in place. So that's good. But they're finding that they also have a high global warming potential. So like any chemical that can enter the atmosphere, it can be given a global warming potential and the lower the number, the less effect it will have on changing the climate. The higher the number, the more greenhouse gas it is. And some of these HFCs are kind of high greenhouse gases. They have a high global warming potential. So we still need to keep figuring out how to get aerosols out. Yeah, that kind of had that feeling. I'm glad you looked that up because my feeling was like surely they didn't solve that to where this is just great. And I imagine even though we didn't see the ammonia in anywhere else on the Internet, it can't be great to be squirting out something with ammonia everywhere, right? I don't know. I really don't know. And I know that so no, it wasn't the ammonia that I didn't see. I didn't see people putting isopropyl alcohol in an aerosol can to keep things from growing inside of it. That's what I didn't see. Oh, okay. People do use ammonia. Yeah, here's what I will say, though, is that I haven't looked at a canon in a while and I don't know what warnings come on it. But I bet one of them should be like, don't let your pets eat it and that kind of thing. Or don't let humans or your little sister eat it. Yeah, well, also it's good advice, right? There's also you can find some warnings depending on what kind of propellant is used in the can. To say, hey, this is flammable. Don't spray it at a campfire, although it'll look really awesome. Because that's really dangerous. Another one is it can freeze. It can basically freeze to your skin. And the reason why is because when that compressed liquid is converting into a gas undergoing a phase change, part of that phase change is that it's drawing a heat from any available immediate source that includes the can. So it turns the can ice cold 'cause it takes all the heat out of it to help turn that gas or that liquid into a gas. I did something kind of dumb a number of years ago. I had these little skin tags and I would go to the dermatologist to get them clipped. And then I thought, you know what? I'm just going to buy some of that. Freeze spray. And I'm going to freeze and clip them myself. Because that's got to be easy. And I got some of that spray and I guess the idea is that it's not for that purpose and you spray kind of from a distance to maybe numb something. And I got it right up on that thing and sprayed it. And it burned like the fires of hell, it hurt so bad. It felt like someone pressed a hot glowing piece of metal into my skin. I can imagine, I know where you're coming from, actually, because I went through a phase when I was a tween 85. Weirdly enough about N 85. And where I had warts, especially on my elbows for some reason. And I had to go to the doctor like, every couple months, and they would burn them off with liquid liquid nitrogen, frozen nitrogen. And yeah, if they missed even a little bit, it would really hurt. It was really damaging. But if they just got it on the work, which they normally did, it was weird. There was no sensation whatsoever. We should do a shorty on warts. Sure. I don't know. That might be our least listen to episode. You'd think? Yeah, I think so. Even less than aerosol cans. That's right. Our poop centric episodes. People love those. Can we finish this one? The 2012 Camry.

"This is Bloomberg daybreak weekend, our global look ahead at the top stories for investors in the coming week. I'm Nathan Hager. Up later in our program, the 25th anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong to China will be commemorated next month. But first, NATO leaders are headed to Madrid as Russia's war in Ukraine means fundamentally rethinking European security. For more, let's head to London and bring in Bloomberg daybreak Europe anchor Caroline hefker. Nathan, more than 40 heads of state and government will be in Spain focused on how to respond at adapt in the face of Vladimir Putin's aggression. And for more, I'm joined by Bloomberg's NATO report in Talia Josiah, who is covering the summit in Madrid, Natalia welcome thanks so much for speaking to me. Look, the invasion of Ukraine, which obviously isn't a NATO country, has prompted perhaps the biggest challenge to NATO since the Cold War. What do you think the mood is going to be like amongst all of these leaders? Yeah, I mean, obviously the war has been a terrible atrocity, but the other consequence of this is that it has galvanized NATO in a way after a long period of kind of an unclear path where there were pursuing humanitarian missions. But now, we're seeing a land war in the heart of Europe and that's kind of its bread and butter. Especially when you're having this threat from Russia. So this is what made her know how to deal with. And in that sense, I think there will be a lot of energy coming from the footage. Even if it's directed towards Russia in some way, urging them to stop the aggression of those possible. We'll also hear from Ukrainian president zelensky as the climate he'll likely repeat his urgent call for more weapons to get them there faster. And just taking a step back, I would say that Ukraine was really kicked off major tectonic shifts in the European security landscape. We're seeing more defense spending through countries like Germany and countries are sending what leads to a war zone, which is always been a red line for many allies. And most significantly, it's also prompted formerly neutral states, Sweden and Finland to acquire for membership for the first time. But look President Biden's also going to be making the trip from the U.S. and obviously so much of European security is tied in with America. So what are you expecting to hear when you're on the ground at this summit reporting for us, what do you think that Biden will bring? I think it will be another opportunity for him to really reconfirm that unity among allies and with Ukraine, which they've really made a really kind of touted in the last few months as being a very important factor in their response to Russia. Everyone is on board. Everyone has the same message. There have been questions about how long that can last. Also with Biden facing his own domestic problems at home. Inflation gun violence and midterms coming up around the corner. So I think that will be important also for the eastern Flank states to hear that are closest to Ukraine and Russia. The one thing I will stress on that though is that turkey has been blocking Sweden and Finland's membership application. So that is complicating that message of unity that they've been really trying to broadcast last few months. You mentioned military spending, the tectonic shifts. I mean, the host country Spain is embarking on perhaps the most dramatic shift in terms of military spending. Yeah, and this was I think this is something that we've seen since the beginning of the year. I think in a way, Germany was leading the way on that. To some degree because they were, I think, one of the most the biggest allies that were most reticent to spend more on defense. And they made one 80 on that earlier this year and then following that we've seen other countries like the Netherlands like Belgium, now Spain, following suit and agreeing to more spending, made of secretary general is saying that more allies are meeting the 2% target than not. But obviously there's still more to do, especially with plans that they have for major investments, especially for the eastern bank. Well, speaking of that, the Estonian prime minister was saying not so long ago that the NATO trip wire strategy. So this idea of sending troops when an attack on invasion happens is just outdated now given what's happening in Ukraine. I mean, the eastern Flank of NATO countries they're pushing for more aren't they. Yeah, and I think they will get more. I mean, there's a consensus among NATO officials that this previous trick wire strategy needs to be updated now. So that that tripwire strategy basically amounted to having multinational battle groups stationed in the Baltics and Poland, roughly 1500 soldiers from different allied countries on the ground to deter Russia or any other actor from attacking those countries. And the idea was that if there were ever an attack the NATO could reinforce reinforce those troops on the ground. But now that we've seen Russia basically show its cards being very aggressive showing that it's willing to take greater risks with its war in Ukraine. Everyone is in consensus that something more has to be done. So now there's a revision of NATO's posture, defense posture on the eastern Flank. We've already had an announcement from Germany that they would boost existing troops that they already have in Lithuania while identifying a unit back home that could basically jump into action if ever that were needed. And that was all amount to a brigade to defend Lithuania. And so other allies are considering doing something similar. And we're likely to get more announcements like that around the summit, for instance, to the UK and dystonia. Do you think though that NATO is going to

"We're going to resume our conversation now with retired Brigadier general Mark kemet who has served as well and senior positions in the State Department and the Defense Department So general thank you so much for staying with us When we left off we were talking about the siege if I can call it that or attempted siege of Kyiv I believe you told us something I did not know I don't think that if in fact the Russians go house to house in Kiva will be the largest urban warfare in history is that correct Oh absolutely Keith is 325 square miles And that is just far bigger than any other urban combat we've seen I mean the big ones of course Stalingrad and Leningrad were tiny compared to what a fight inside Kyiv would require in terms of taking ground So as you quoted Hobbes it would be nasty brutish but far from short and it's practical matter we would anticipate What is the goal I mean suppose the Russians really do have a protracted very difficult very ugly A lot of casualties battle and Kyiv and ultimately I don't know whoever's left surrenders What do they have They have Aleppo They have Mosul They have a destroyed infrastructure in their major cities of Mario probably Odessa probably Kyiv But then they've got the challenge of the occupation because this will be effectively the dog catching the bus And while they may have won the war now they have to win the occupation And as the Russians found in Afghanistan in the 80s the goal then of the mujahideen and what will be the goal of the Ukrainian partisans will be to bleed Russia out of their country And it's a very large landmass and there has been a very large population And even if we have as many as 5 7 million people leave there are still millions of people left in Ukraine that you'd have to govern supply feed clothe how would that work Well it would be difficult to do all of that especially when you're under fire while you're trying to do that I would suspect that any Russian military political organization will be under imminent fear of death on a day by day basis So trying to get not only that economy stood back up but the governance challenges in the military challenges I think will simply overwhelm Russia So obviously we can't put ourselves in the minds of mind of Vladimir Putin at this point The president of Russia Same time you had a very senior planning position and sent commas I recall when you were in active service in the military What do we think the strategic goal of Vladimir Putin is now He might have had a different one before he came in because I think he thought they would embrace him and he wouldn't have a big problem occupying That clearly is not true anymore So now what's the strategic goal for the Russians Well I think it's the same goal they had when they thought they were going to be able to do a truly strategic military operation as he called it which was rushed down from Belarus and Russia take over Kyiv change out the government and move on But life has a way of changing your options So now he's finding a huge siege warfare but it's called remains the same To number one overturn the zelensky regime number two set up the buffer that he feels is necessary between mother Russia and the west and number three to try to govern a pretty much an ungovernable people But I think he's still wants that buffer He doesn't want Ukraine in NATO he still wants to keep mother Russia separate from the west and those ideas of democracy and true capitalism at bay So talk about that buffer notion which I've heard of before perhaps even if it's a failed state that's left if I can put it that way in Ukraine It's a buffer It's not an actively pro west regime that's functioning What about the rest of Eastern Europe Is one of the strategic goals here actually to drive millions of refugees into Poland in Central Europe to really destabilize those regimes I don't necessarily think that David That's collateral to his efforts What he wants to reestablish is a Warsaw Pact between NATO and Russia As you remember Poland Bulgaria Romania Ukraine were part of the Warsaw Pact They weren't necessarily part of the USSR They served as military buffer and a military fight placed to fight between Russia and NATO if necessary They don't want to do this in Russia They've had foreign invaders a couple of times Napoleon Hitler and he is determined to resurrect that Soviet concept of a large landmass between Russia and the west Well some of that landmass has governments that are part of NATO Is that a tripwire for him It's certainly a tripwire for us Obviously the Baltics were a huge blow to Putin when they joined NATO And one of the greatest fears of NATO has been that not only is he looking to take Ukraine but eventually he will keep his eyes and turn his eyes towards the Baltics All of who have significant Russian minorities much like Ukraine did and could come up with the same excuse why they needed to be invaded the way Ukraine was What are we learning about the Russian military from this I'd say three things Number one they're not as good as we thought they were Number two their leadership is terrible to the point where they've got to send generals down to the front lines to make things happen And at which point the Ukrainians kill them which I'm all in favor of So just to interrupt you we'll get to number three Is that why we're seeing generals get killed because they have to go to the front lines to make it so Absolutely Good generals that have good chains of command can sit back in the headquarters and think great thoughts I was one of those great thinkers Generals that need to make things happen because the kernels and the majors aren't doing it are heading down to the front lines to try to push those things forward And I interrupt you with number three we learned about the Russian military Well number three is their equipment isn't nearly as good as we thought it was The T 80 tank which we thought was the most vaunted tank on the battlefield has been no better than their earlier versions The air defense would have been middling But the conscript army and its discipline is far less than we ever expected It's always great to have you with us Thank you so much to retired Brigadier general Mark kemet Coming up we're going to talk about COVID and the risk that there may be a new way

"Interactive entertainment. Whether exclusive lineup right but we're not talking about dozens of games by the time. This happens and i think again. Spelling it out is the way they. I don't remember them being like our launch lineup. You won't like very specifically like our launch lineup but this is also why whenever any developer publisher says anything like you know. Oh yeah it's it's console exclusive. Everybody starts like picking apart the wording of what they say. Because this is how it works right. They said apparently somewhere somewhere someone said. Hey our launch lineup across gen the upgrades for free and now people are like well. You know horizon was going to be one and they're like well but it isn't anymore but we see your point so here you go but we're now putting out their ten dollars across the board. It's gonna hurt. I think there's a positive to all of this. And i think there is a big one is much as it did with xbox several months ago when they tried to jack up the xbox live prices and that got slapped down. And now this would sony. It does highlight obviously the so many negative social media. An positives is it does give consumers voice in the way they didn't have before like in the age before social media like howard consumers have made their written in lettuce. What the fuck is that. No one's going to do that. But it's so easy to just right at sony. Fuck you. I find this unacceptable and then get an absolutely overwhelmed with that the whole oh we thought this was going to be good but clearly games of made their voices heard or whatever. You know puff piece statement. They put out. We see all the time. Now right companies backtracking all the time because they now is this very direct way consumers to make their dissatisfaction known very vocally and so i think it has empowered game isn't consumers in a very real way to say you know what fucked i. I'm not happy about this. And to such a degree that it actually makes these major companies reverse course so. That's a positive. I think it's interesting. Gary you talk about social media and reversing courses number two on the roper guay. That's a great gary away all right. It's a win away. Let's talk about a journey. That happened on social media while this long weekend was happening. Our to talk about of course trip wire and there president at the time john gibson who has stepped down since then. But we'll take you on the entire time line as we go. Of course you don't know tripwire there a video game developer and publisher Their behinds are they. They're behind stuff like killing. Foreign inclusion are encouraging. Sorry man eater and then Chivalry to they. Didn't they published the first two of those right and the chivalry to not publish. Chivalry to co-develop man eater. You see how this works but there. A video game publisher slash developer on saturday. John gibson the president of trip wire at the time tweeted proud of hashtag. Us supreme court affirming the texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat as entertainer. I don't get political often yet with so many vocal peers. On the other side of this issue. I felt it was important to go on the record as as pro-life game developer gary. He put up this tweet and this is another one. I've been away from a social media and everything else for the most part for vacation. Here baby moon He put this tweet up and firing gasoline. This thing took off. You saw getting moved around like you know junkins and not a big personality on twitter by any stretch the imagination. I'm looking at the tweet now. you know. It has a thirteen point. Five thousand responses eight point seven re tweets thousand retweets and then sixty little about seventeen thousand hearts and stuff like that. Is this conversation got going and got moving and doing all these different things gary. You're one of them. Actually and i know obviously twitter Very keen on surfacing. I think people you know but you're on the number one. I saw response before. I got into stuff like corey. Barlow mike drucker and you're like well. That's the last time i ever consider playing any of your games by. Yeah and i planned in one of those guys games. Yeah man eater man either in so i've seen there's so much going on here that happens. There's all these different takes from it. There's all this conversation about it. I think let's just go through it all and then double back to it all right so that goes on saturday. This was followed by tweets from The ship right studios these people who co-developed man-eater they tweeted while your politics are your own the moment you make them a matter of public discourse discourse you and tangle all of those working Four and with you we've worked closely alongside the talented passionate developers that trip wire and your partners for the last three plus years. We notice difficult for employees to speak up or act out in these scenarios and they may not feel comfortable to speak their minds. It is regrettable but we feel it would be doing ourselves your employees. You're partners in the industry as a whole a disservice to allow this pattern to continue without comment. We started ship right With idea that it was finally time to put our money where our mouth is. We cannot in good conscious continue to work with trip wire under the current leadership structure. We will begin the cancellation of our cancellation of our existing contracts effective immediately. This was foul by torn banner studios developers of chivalry to tweeting. We not share. The opinion expressed in recent tweet by the president of tripwire publisher of chivalry to this perspective is not shared by our team nor is it reflected in what in the games we create. The statement stands in opposition to what we believe about women's rights. And then yesterday monday trip wire itself. Put out this statement. The comments given by john gibson are of his own opinion and do not reflect those of tripwire interactive as a company. His comments disregarded the values of our whole team our partners in much broader community. Our leadership team at tripwire are deeply sorry and our unified in our commitment to take swift action and foster a more positive environment effective immediately. John gibson has stepped down as ceo tripwire interactive co founding member and current vice president. Alan wilson will take over as interim ceo. Alan has been with the company since its formation in two thousand five and is an active lead. In both the studio's business and development affairs our work with the rest of tripwire leadership team to take steps with employees and partners address their concerns including executing a why townhall meeting in promoting open dialogue with tripwire leadership and all employees his understanding of both the company's culture ankara division of our games. We'll carry The team through the transition With full support from the other trip wire leaders. Gary as you were vocal on the initial. Tweet i want to start with. Why did this cross the line for you.

"Code twit We are probably something like a week away from a new iphone. it's unclear Typically apple will do it early in september. No one saying best guess would be. I think not this week but on the fourteenth there was a wild rumor that apple would add satellite features to its phone that it would lose. Low earth orbit satellites specifically from global star to provide emergency services on the phone This originally came from a an analyst. Let me pause that. So we don't hear the video from bloomberg bloomberg's mark gherman. Who's usually very well connected. Kind of tamp down the speculation. He said the next iphone could have hardware needed for satellite communications. But he says even if they do the features are unlikely to be ready for before next year according to a person who has to not be doing because the plans are not yet public bloomberg also. This is bullet boilerplate now. All apple rumor stories these features could also change your be scrapped before they released an apple representative declined to comment but marquette a lot of detailed information. I think this is probably a good thing Emergency message via satellite. So if you are lost or injured and you're outside satellite. You could send a message in your messages app using not sms. The phone network. Or i mess message using data but using satellites and you'd get a gray message bubble instead of greener blue. I liked that The second feature will be a tool to report major emergencies like plane. Crashes sinking ships also using satellite networks. That texting via satellite tool is named st louis inside apple and they will be short length. They'll push through an emergency phones. Emergency context phone even if the do not disturb setting is on so I think this is a good thing. We'll see if it happens. An apple event. If it happens will be. We'll certainly stream it And i'm going to guess my best guesses september fourteenth which is a week from tuesday. Anybody wanna say anything about that. I think it's a great idea if we had this idea. We wouldn't have that movie. Twenty seven hours with james franco guy wouldn't have to choose. That's right rockin. Yeah about the iphone and you tax stock and then you're say so i'm into it but mainly it's a great idea. I mean there are devices you can buy or rent spot longer out. Yeah my daughter wrenched one when she goes hiking in the back country. Just uniform urgency. Yeah there are. There are two different kinds of This kind of emergency stuff ari. I had a good article the Their they're pink. The camping supply Company they have they sell both personal trackers and then then messengers emergency messengers spot watches. I think a good thing to have and certainly these are smaller. There's no reason you couldn't have that technology in a an iphone. Even apple watch so. I will hope that Hope that is the case. I guess that wasn't a good conversation. Starters let me find another one. How about texas talk about abortion but there is a tech angle to this. Which is that this law which Again it's kind of game of firing Roe v wade would encourage private people to snitch on abortion providers or anybody who abets aids or abets an abortion and in order to do this. They set up websites To do this. Which immediately stimulated action from the tech sector. Silicon valley responded right away. Go daddy the initial website which was set up on go. Daddy was shut down within a day. They moved to digital ocean. Which i think is already shut it down. Mark benny off his cancelled. All of salesforce forces business in. Oh no i'm sorry. That was an indiana when they did something similar I imagine There'll be a bit of a backlash did you lists. Yeah right exactly. So the view drive someone to the abortion clinic. Can you be food for ten thousand dollars. Yes that what they're saying. Yes because you're aiding and abetting her plus it incense somebody who sees that too because there's a ten thousand dollars to go onto the website and say hey. I just saw somebody leave for an abortion clinic over newburgh driver. You have to certify that you're not going to get an enduro. Uber and lift has announced they will pay legal fees good and what about an airline. What if you fly to another state it can the airline food or is that okay because you're not getting the abortion in texas our federal jurisdiction not state. So they can't get you. I would hope that that'll help fly. This is You know they talk about sharia law. I think we're getting close. Doesn't texas respect the right of businesses to make their own decisions. Whatever happened that used to be used to be a rule right. Yeah already Talk users are flooding the texas abortion site with fake tips. Apparently it's pretty easy to generate a fake address for the in texas so the website profile whistle blower dot com which is set up by texas right to life. That's the one that got kicked from go daddy and elsewhere is being flooded with phony. Tips don't mess with four man. Don't mess with them Kind of funny. 'cause don't mess with texas. Yeah almost cliche. Doesn't that leo doesn't freak you out a little bit. When people organized and end up taking political action via talk because at the end of the day it is chinese company. And i don't mean to fear monger but is there a point where the chinese government exerts. Its influence over that company and ends up doing some hong kong using the users there To either start a political movement or using it influence a shut down time. My see can't part of the host trees can you in the us postal pro hong kong. Tick-tock sir would you can you you can. But the un especially during the protests took all of that down. They lied about it right exactly so i you know it's there was that also that incident where they kept on buying tickets to trump's first big rally. No one showed up because they just expected all these Take grandmother there. Look there are people that celebrate stuff but every time it happens. I become a little bit wary and and think that i think larry admitted is one of those people he just wrote a senior. Tried to tick-tock. I did you did you..

I gravitate towards building companies in portland is there is it's small tech market but it is a well connected as you noted tech market. And there's a lot of really good people and so being able to work with maybe people you know but in a different capacity certainly helps when you don't get to see each other. Yeah and he some interesting me. Finding ways can act and doing that. Someone i talked to recently. You know really emphasized that it is a skill you know. It's not just hopping on zoom and just whatever it. It's really learning skill to be able to connect via this way. You're ahead of the game a little bit. But it's taken me you know. Twelve months to get better at it and a lot of other folks so it definitely is. I mean you see people trying new things. We're gonna do a happy hour together. I mean personal and professional life. You see people trying to make to connect even though they're not in person were typically. You would reserve that to be an person right. I think that's part of it. I think is learning every high functioning team. I've ever been a part of his head the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively and directly in any medium. Whether it's you know just because you're all in the same room does not make that actually easier right me one remote person when everybody's together is actually harder than everybody being remote. It's a better levels of plainfield and kind of the experience that you have and so some of it. It's made easier because the extreme the god of in the middle. But you know we're learning new ways to kind of work through this navigating really really interesting insight so while let's transition to portland so here we are and other a week ago. Someone wrote an article in forbes portland dying. I am obviously throw that in the trash that narrative. I am so bullish on portland but we have challenges and in regards to businesses were a small market. So what are some of the benefits of running a team here. Being a leader here But also just you know challenges. We might have yeah. I'm with you. I'm very pro portland as i said. This is my fourth time. Living in oregon. I was born in oregon with the college in oregon of come back to do business in oregon have chosen to to be here multiple times. Now the couple of companies headquartered ing pickering it here.

Israeli one of them You know austin was one although has got bigger older and salt lake and boise and in these cities. they're all replaces level. I just have more connection to portland.

But you know just gonna worry was like a lot of my work was around serving people in my mind and being really hands on with my students and things like that and so i was kind of being split on directions but i think that one thing that always been able to do is build like a brand that people really gravitate towards. You know it's like when i was looking to hire personal trainer. There was all these options. And then you know it's like a friend was like a romy. You know had a personal that he works with also works with todd. Herman and eric halpern. And it's like okay. Well i want the trainer that law then and so i think in my own business. I had built this brand. By being the go-to person for so many different thought leaders they were recommending needed. That was just like enough information for people. They were intrigued. And then when i did right i wrote high quality content. I shared story is an Never the person to let just write a newsletter in our to you into send it off like you know. I definitely take my time Wish during my stories. And so i think that the times i did show up you know i should have in a way that really resonated with people and then simultaneously have been building this aspirational brand and working a lot. Top people and my business model is actually very different from how some people recommend you go to business. People will say like okay. You start with like the seven dollar. Tripwire buys a report for seven dollars. And then you've got the ninety seven dollars off and then you do. The one is to This you that.

If they had that pre warning pelosi there was a story over the weekend about pelosi was in the new york times as another example of a story that has published on the weekend that nobody talks about kinda like the pcr tests new york times studies story that we've talked about but dod officials tell nancy pelosi they. They told the new york times. Nancy pelosi floated a military coup against trump and in the article according to the new york times plus he took the unprecedented step of asking the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff about available precautions to prevent donald trump from initiating military action abroad or using a sole authority to watch nuclear weapons in the last days of his term and in a phone call. This is directly from new york times and a phone call to the chairman. General mark miley. Ms pelosi appeared to be seeking to have the pentagon leadership essentially remove mr trump from authorities as commander in chief and it went on to say that pentagon officials said that pelosi wanting trump to be removed from these certain chain of command without going through. The legal process would amount to a military coup. That's in the new york. Times will so that tells with the continuity of government thing that you brought up what was that. There was a continuity of government operations training rehearsal on monday which is a standard practice that is conducted in the event that someone tries to disrupt transition of power and according to a senior official the interagency rehearsal is to ensure a seamless chain of command in the event of a national emergency in the days leading up to the inauguration and on the day the day itself and they say the rehearsal was focusing heavily on readiness in the event that somebody tries to disrupt or stop the inauguration. Okay we're geena in a sentence training for what you just described. It had a training event. There was preparing for people to storm. The capital inauguration disrupted first of all. I think that what we're looking at here is the real deep state. Try that that this is the trip wire that they were talking about the information operations thing but in that in that video that we talked about it. You played the clip from a whole of government's plan. It's the department is called information. Operations used to be called psychological operations and they talk about putting something really vulnerable in the way of an enemy. Nfl enemy trips. That wire. then you will have the country behind you when you want to take action. And they were saying that they wanted to use that against russia and when asked what the tripwire might be. They said the two thousand twenty election now. It looks to me that they did use the two thousand twenty election as a trip wire. Actually the inauguration it will be the combination of at all if rumors rumors of war are true. And but that the enemy was though seventy million seventy five million patriots or deplorables or whatever that we covered in another rockford video as being a target of the worldwide elite..
