They're targeting his kid. He's mad. They could be targeting him. He throw his kid under the bus in a what they say in the 80s in a jiffy. Remember the Brady Bunch? They would throw this guy under the bus tomorrow if it would make the political case against Joe Biden go away. Bank on it. Cash that check. Spend that money here. According to Politico, Politico, by the way, which is like to the left of the Communist Manifesto. According to Politico, which examined previously unknown communications between Hunter Biden's legal team and the DOJ. There was an actual threat issued to call Joe Biden as a witness if Weiss, the U .S. attorney, dared to charge the gun crime in question. OK, what goes on? Then he issued a warning if the Justice Department charged the president's son, his lawyers would put the president on the witness stand. President Biden now would be a fact witness fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial. There you go, folks. It's right there. Tell me Joe Biden loves his kid. He loves himself. He loves money. The gravy train dried up. Now he thinks he could find himself in jail if Hunter Biden flips on him. He'd throw this kid if he could.

Wealthy Behavior
A highlight from A Primer on Mortgage-Backed Securities
"Welcome to Wealthy Behavior, talking money and wealth with Heritage Financial, the podcast that digs into the topics, strategies and behaviors that help busy and successful people build and protect their personal wealth. I'm your host, Sammy Azuz, the president and CEO of Heritage Financial, a Boston based wealth management firm working with high net worth families across the country for longer than 25 years. Now let's talk about the wealthy behaviors that are key to a rich life. On this episode of the Wealthy Behavior podcast, we have a special guest, Ken Shinoda, portfolio manager at Double Line Capital, where he manages and co -manages several fixed income strategies, as well as overseeing the team investing in non -agency backed mortgage securities. I can think of a few people who would be better to speak with at a moment in time like this for the market, just given the sharp moves we've had in interest rates, which have impacted bonds and stocks and mortgage rates being higher than we've seen in a long time. And be sure to stick to the end as I digest this conversation with our chief investment officer, Bob Weiss, and share his key takeaways as well. I'm excited for this conversation, so welcome to Wealthy Behavior, Ken. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Could you provide our listeners maybe with a brief overview of Double Line and your role with the firm? Absolutely. Double Line is a Los Angeles based asset manager. We predominantly manage fixed income, but we also have some passive smart beta equity strategies that have done quite well. We have a commodity strategy, but I would say about 90 % of our assets are fixed income based with a heavy tilt towards securitized products, which are things like mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, collateralized loan obligations. We have about 95 billion under management. And what is your role specifically with the firm? I know I mentioned the bio, but how would you explain that to listeners? Yeah, I am a portfolio manager across a variety of our products, especially those that are more focused on mortgage backed securities. I also have the structured products committee, which oversees the asset allocation process on our securitized focused strategies. How did you get started on this career path? How did you get to this point? I wanted to get into something real estate related coming out of school. I had a couple of interviews. I actually was interning at Trust Company West TCW, which where many of the Double Line employees came from and just happened to stumble onto this role. I never didn't come out of school thinking, hey, I want to trade mortgage backed securities. It wasn't really something that was pushed on the West Coast. I think East Coast schools are more investment banking trading focused. So, luck happens. Pretty big asset management community out in the West Coast with a pretty big presence, especially in Southern California with PIMCO, WAMCO, Capital Group out here. So there's actually a pretty big fixed income focus, at least in the Southern California area. Great. And we've talked a couple of times already about mortgage backed securities. How would you explain those to listeners or maybe people who've read the big short and have some misconceptions about what they are and how risky they could be? If you go back a long, long, long time ago before we created the government sponsored entities, Fannie, Freddie and Jeannie Mae mortgages, if you went to a bank to get a mortgage, it was always going to be floating rate, a digestible rate mortgage because the banks didn't want to take on such a long duration risk. And what happened was Fannie and Freddie and Jeannie Mae were put into place to try to get the cost of debt down for Americans to buy homes and a goal to increase home ownership or help more people get into homes. And they introduced the 30 year fixed rate mortgage and then they would package up those mortgages eventually and create bonds backed by these mortgages. So you can basically buy a bond that's government guaranteed, that's whose cash flows come from these mortgage backed securities. And so instead of taking on credit risk, what you're really taking on is prepayment risk. If rates go down, borrowers have the ability to refinance without any cost really. And if rates go higher, then the refinancing activity slows down. So you have this kind of like uncertainty of how long your investment is. Is it a one year bond or is it a 10 year bond? It all depends on the prepayments through time. So instead of sitting around and worrying about credit risk and default risk, you're really sitting around and worrying about the direction of rates and what that means for refinancing activity. And so the direction of rates is a great place to go. You've been doing this for a while. How would you characterize the investment environment, the interest rate environment that we're in right now? Well, it's been the worst interest rate environment that I've seen from a sharp movement and rates higher. I mean, we've been in a bond bear market now for three years, the 10 year yield on a closing basis. The low was in August of 2020. Intraday, we were a little bit lower in March during kind of the fiasco when the shutdown started. And we've reached new highs in August across the curve really. So it's been a really tough market. Part of it's been driven by the Fed with their reaction to high inflation. And we've seen a pretty dramatic increase in short term rates and the long end has fallen. And we have a little rally as there was hopes and glimmers of a soft landing and data rolling over. But what we have now is the soft landing narrative is still there, but the data's coming in better than expected. So I think a couple of prints, the GDP print came in strong, you had services coming strong, you had some jobs that are still coming in strong. And so the whole curve has kind of shifted back up with the market now thinking the Fed may still have more to do. And if they don't have more than one hike, they're at least going to keep rates higher for longer. And if the economy is strong, then why should long term rates be so low? Maybe they should normalize up towards, let's say, four and a half, five percent on the 10 year. So that's kind of what's happened, I think over the last 30 days is the narrative has shifted from kind of this expectations of growth rolling over to, you know, perhaps growth is better than expected. And now the market's just waiting and watching for more data to come in to guide them. So you're not to put words in your mouth, but maybe you're more in the camp then that the higher rates that we've been seeing is a good sign for the economy versus a bad sign for the economy? I think in the near term, it's a good sign. It means that the data is coming in positively. The data is backwards looking, though. So I think inevitably the lags will kick in and higher rates will start hurting certain pockets of the market. You know, the what's happened is so many high quality companies locked in such low cost of debt and so many Americans locked in such low cost of mortgage rates. Right. Three, three and a half percent, you know, maybe a year or two years ago that it's just taking long for the transmission mechanism of higher rates to come to the economy. We just have way more fixed debt than than we used to. Europe is a place where the transmission mechanism is perhaps working faster because more of their lending to companies is floating rate at banks. So the places where we're going to see the pain and we're already seeing pain now are pockets that are more floating rate. So commercial real estate is a good example. A lot of floating rate debt there. You're talking about people that borrowed it like, two percent, three years ago, and now they got to roll their debt at like seven percent. Right. It's going to create issues. Bank loans, bank loans float and the cost of debt is effectively double. The average spread on the bank loan index going back 10 years is about 500. And short term rates are now 500 basis points. So these companies went from borrowing at five percent to now having to pay 10 percent. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. Those are those lags that everyone talks about. And I think that they'll still come through eventually. And it's probably going to happen sometime in the fourth quarter or first quarter next year. So right now, the move higher in rates, I think it's in reaction to the positive economic data that we're seeing. But I still think it's an attractive entry point. If you haven't owned long treasuries or assets that have interest rate risk, it's been a good thing for you. So congratulations. But now it's probably one of the cheapest parts of the market. I mean, you want to buy assets when people are pricing in all the bad things. There's not much downside left. When I think about treasuries, that's kind of how it feels right now. Like everything bad that could happen is happening or has happened. Right. The Fed is hiking. Inflation was high. Foreign buying is very low. Economic data surprisingly upside. So it's kind of like all the bad news seems to be in. Last week was interesting because you had that services PMI come in stronger than expected. It will jump up. I think it went from like 52 to 54 or something. If it's north of 50, it's expansionary. And the economy in the US is very service oriented. And off that news, the bond market didn't really move much. It's already kind of at these high levels. I think you would have expected another move higher in rates on that news, but it kind of just settled in. So the big headwind right now is the supply. There's just a ton of treasury supply coming. But if you get any data surprise to the downside come kind of Q4 or maybe Q1 of 2024, I think that could ignite a pretty strong rally in rates. So the thing to worry about is really, does growth stay stronger than expected? We grow our way out of this, right? Yeah, absolutely. So would you agree that the Fed is much more influential in determining short term rates and the market is much more influential in determining like 10 year yields? Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's accurate. So maybe back it up and help our listeners understand what makes the 10 year yield move in either direction? What does it mean when it's moving up or when it's moving down? Yeah, I mean, there's different ways to models that have come out from different participants to like estimate what the fair value for the 10 year should be. One of them is what is the neutral rate of interest that's neither accommodative or restrictive? The R star. And that's, I think, the first layer. So let's just throw a number out and say that's like 2%, right? Then sometimes people say, well, then you need to layer in what long run inflation will be over that 10 year horizon. So let's call that, that's another 2 % or so core CPI gets back down to that level. And then some term premium, maybe that's 50 basis points. So that would get you to like a 4 .5 % 10 year treasury yield. You're getting the neutral rate plus some premium for inflation over 10 years plus some term premium. And you could argue over the term premium, maybe it's supposed to be 50, maybe it's supposed to be a hundred. If you think it's going to be a hundred, then you should think 10 years going to 5%. Now on the flip side, there's buying from pensions and there's buying from money managers and other institutions that kind of can drive the fair value below that four and a half number we just came up with, things like QE, right? That's why we got to such low levels is that the buying outside of those that are just looking at that fair value coming in, maybe it's lack of supply, maybe it's foreign buying and so on and so forth. So part of it's driven by kind of expectations of inflation through time. And then part of it's just driven by the supply and demand of bonds that are out there. And that can be, things like QE can affect that, right? So that first 2 % that you called, I was picturing in my head is almost like the neutral rate. What determines that? What would cause that to be higher or lower? Or is that just fairly static across time in that assumption or that model? That's the big debate upon the context right now is, are we in a new world of higher inflation where the neutral rate would need to be higher? Whereas if you go back to like the last 20 years pre -COVID, let's call it when we were in this like world of secular stagnation, where there was arguments that maybe that neutral rates is much lower since we're living in a world of lower growth, lower inflation, so on and so forth. So depending on how things shake out and what the future looks like, maybe that neutral rates higher. What are some things that could make inflation and growth stay higher? There's like the three D's I call it. It's like demographics, right? We've had a smaller workforce every year going back the last 10 years because the baby boomers are retiring. We also stopped immigration pretty aggressively too. So demographics are part of it. You got defense spending, right? Governments are definitely spending more on defense and that could be inflationary, expansionary. We've got spending on decarbonization, right? There's going to be trillions of dollars spent on decarbonization. There's infrastructure spending that needs to happen in the US. There's all these sources of potential growth that are coming that in theory could keep growth higher, inflation higher. And this is not a bad thing for the economy, but it just means that rates will probably have to be higher. And so I guess the real truth will be shown is after we kind of get through the next 12 to 24 months, soft landing, no landing, hard landing, whatever, what comes next? And are these long -term forces that are potentially pushing through into the economy going to keep growth and inflation higher in the future? Got it. So pivoting to mortgage backed securities, what are you seeing in the mortgage backed securities market now? Yeah, mortgages look the most interesting they have in almost 10 years. If you look at the spread on current coupon mortgage backed securities, which are the bonds that are being manufactured today by the loans being made today. So these are like seven and a half coupon loans get packaged into six and a half coupon bonds. The spread on them somewhere call between it like 165 to 175 and relative to corporate spreads, which are almost a hundred or a hundred ish, maybe a little bit wide of that.

Mark Levin: You Can Thank William Barr for David Weiss
"He could be a throwaway. You know, okay, that's not all for US attorney that's what he's thinking. But they have to keep saying that. And yet the man's actions demonstrate that here's the thing. On the one hand, Garland and his troops say we don't report to Biden. We're America's Department of Justice, not for not for the Democrat Party and not for Biden. And yet the media keeps saying, oh, Weiss was a Trump appointee, as if he's doing Trump's bidding. Just damnable and stupid. Thomas Massie, really good with Merrick Garland. Cut eight, go. Now in that video, that was your answer to this question to me two years ago. This is about Ray Epps, the infamous Ray Epps, who was charged with one misdemeanor, despite the fact that everybody sees him on video, encouraging people to charge into the Capitol building. And for some reason, the same Department of Justice, the same group of judges that cabal Washington, in DC, are putting people in prison, in prison for a hell of a lot less. A misdemeanor charge for trespass for Mr. Epps.

AG Garland: 'No Recollection' of Contact With FBI on Biden Inquiry
"That promise. All right. six Cut go. Can you tell us about any briefings or discussions that you personally have had with Mr. Weiss any regarding and all federal investigations of Hunter Biden? I'm going to say again, I promised the that Senate I would not interfere with Mr. Weiss. So you have not, I'm just, under oath today, your testimony is you not have had any discussions with Mr. Weiss about this matter? Under oath, my testimony today is that I promised the Senate I would not intrude in his investigation. I do not intend to discuss the internal Justice Department deliberations, whether or not I had them. Oh, OK, OK. so your testimony today is you're not going to tell us whether you've had discussions with Mr. Weiss? My testimony today is I told the committee that I would not interfere. I made clear that Mr. Weiss would have the authority to bring cases that he thought were appropriate. Mr. Weiss's letter. OK, let me stop for a second time, sir. Are you aware that FBI officials have come before this committee and they have stated that there was a cumbersome bureaucratic process that Mr. Weiss had to go through to bring charges in another judicial district? know You that? I'm not aware, but that's not true. There's nothing cumbersome about the process. So those whistleblowers are lying to us under oath? Those whistleblowers are lying? I can say that. Their description of the process is cumbersome as an opinion. It's not a fact question. So he doesn't know He knows when he wants to know. It is not an intrusion into the investigative process to answer a flat out question whether you spoke to anybody at the Department of Justice about Hunter That's not
Mike Gallagher Podcast
What Does Hunter Biden's Indictment Really Mean?
"The Biden Justice Department is going to walk away with Hunter Biden being incarcerated? Sure, they want to lock Donald Trump up for the rest of his life, but they're not going to touch Hunter Biden. Like that CNN contributor said, this is only intended to present the the the image of the Biden Justice Department doing something about Hunter Biden's crimes. And unfortunately, that leftist commentary commentator on CNN is correct. The Trump administration didn't charge Hunter Biden's been going on. This has been going on for years. This is not a month in the making. This goes back six years. These crimes stem from something he did in I think it was either twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. Trump's administration didn't do anything about it. And in fact, this special counsel prosecutor, whatever the guy, whatever the guy's title is, Weiss, he's a Trump appointee. Give me a break. This is all theater. This is all smoke and mirrors designed to give the Biden family cover and to give the Biden administration cover. I already saw the legal commentators weighing in last night, Dan Abrams over on ABC World News Tonight. This is very unusual. There was no crime committed. There wasn't any active violence. It's only a single count on a single gun. This is very rare. Oh, this is so rare. It's unusual, you know, suggesting that it's only politically motivated by the Republicans.

Hunter Biden Has Been Indicted on Federal Gun Charges
"To time. And by that, I mean almost daily. You'll probably see me on Fox News. So this is obviously big deal. It broke in the last 20 minutes or so. Hunter Biden was indicted today on federal gun charges out of the David Weiss investigation. He is of course the special counsel out in Delaware and this comes just weeks after the plea deal that he had falls apart. It fell apart thanks to a judge who was questioning why we're giving a sweetheart deal to this guy. Makes sense. She's never seen a plea that basically said, oh, you're giving carte coverage blanche for everything else. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, actually, now that you're calling us out, let me clear be because I don't want to get called out again. No, we're still involved in the investigation. And then, of course, team Biden was like, well, then no, we expect a real sweetheart not just the appearance of one. And now he finds himself charged with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to the information required to be kept for a or by a licensed dealer of a firearm and then one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. So, in other words, drug with a gun. And we'll see where this ends up going. And it can go so many different ways. is on the one hand, this could just be David Weiss saying, See, I told you I'm not in the pocket of the Biden administration and then offer yet another plea deal. I would find that very hard to to believe that he would think he can get away with something like that. But what is likely going to happen, and this is why I want everyone to sort of chill out a little bit. He's not going to go to jail for this. Period. Even if he wasn't the president's son, this is something that you're

A highlight from September Market Update: A Look Back & A Look Ahead
"Welcome to Wealthy Behavior, talking money and wealth with Heritage Financial, the podcast that digs into the topics, strategies and behaviors that help busy and successful people build and protect their personal wealth. I'm your host, Sammy Azuz, the president and CEO of Heritage Financial, a Boston based wealth management firm working with high net worth families across the country for longer than 25 years. Now let's talk about the wealthy behaviors that are key to a rich life. Welcome to the September edition of the Wealthy Behavior podcast, where I talk to our chief investment officer, Bob Weiss, about what's going on in the markets right now and things that you should know going forward as investors. Bob, how was your summer? It was great. You know, hearing summer in the past tense is a little sad. It was nice, but, you know, fall is going to be busy and it was a nice summer. What are you going to be busy with this fall? Just back to school stuff with the kids in school and all their activities, which they basically head off in the summer. How about from an investment standpoint, what are you guys looking at and what do you want to accomplish before your end? Yeah, a lot of projects going on, probably the biggest is looking into 2024. So capital market assumptions and thinking about any portfolio changes as we restructure portfolios based on our outlook. And then there's some travel to some conferences. Fall is a popular time of year for investment conferences. So I'll be traveling a little bit, have a conference in September, two in September and then one in October. So that'll be keeping me busy as well. What do you get out of those conferences, Bob? A combination of the content, what you're really supposed to go there for, where you see quality people up there presenting good ideas and you get some nuggets. But there's also value, in my opinion, in the networking where you're sitting with industry peers, like -minded individuals and talking in between sessions. What do you think about that? And what are you guys doing? What are other people around the country who are in a similar seat? And typically you add all that up and in a conference you'll get a few good takeaways. Awesome. So you talked a little bit about capital market assumptions for 2024. That's a topic we've covered on the podcast. But maybe as a quick reminder, what are capital market assumptions? What do they do for you and how do they lead to portfolio implications for investors? And maybe just a little bit of a preview of if you think things have changed this year from your expectations going forward. Yeah. So capital market assumptions or the acronym commonly used to CMAs. But those are the assumptions that you are applying to asset classes, specifically risk and return. So for example, what are you expecting for return from US stocks and what's the level of risk in US stocks? And then you go through every asset class. So US stocks, international stocks, emerging market stocks, different types of bonds, alternatives, et cetera.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Unpacks the Weiss Fiasco
"We have Ana Paulina, who does a wonderful job in the House of Representatives. I've been told by several sources in Washington, DC, this Weiss issue has really changed the dynamic even amongst normie Republican circles. This Weiss fiasco is viewed on the left as a major liability and problem. Play cut 18. That I am told, this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening somebody from Washington called the District Attorney in Atlanta and said, you have to indict on Monday. We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss. And she said, apparently, my jurors aren't coming back till Tuesday. And they said, you didn't hear me. You have to indict on Monday. And she said, we're not going to get here before noon. They said, it doesn't matter. She said, this means it's going to be eight or nine or ten o 'clock at night. Said, it doesn't matter. We need the news media shifting. Who made that phone call? We don't know. And I'm telling you up front, this is hearsay, but it's from a person who has remarkably good sources. I totally believe it, though, because that would explain why they leaked and they messed up on the clerk document, why she was exhausted and why they had the 11 p .m. press conference, Mr. Speaker. All right. So give us the latest on Weiss. It's a little bit hard to track all of this. And by the way, you're about to have a baby. So thank you for congratulations. Best thing in the world for making time for us here. And you're really you're making waves on oversight. So give us the latest. What's going on with Weiss? Give us the update. We know Weiss is corrupt. He basically has been working to give Hunter Biden sweet sweetheart plea deals. And in addition to that, many of my colleagues, to include other members, OK, these are private conversations that might not necessarily fully back Trump for 2024, have agreed that what is happening out of the DOJ and the DOJ is completely just not OK. So there's going to be a massive appropriations fight. And frankly, if people think that we are going to go, you know, to push a CR and move forward with accepting this budget that's going to be funding this stuff, they have something else coming. So that's why you saw that statement come out from the Freedom Caucus earlier today. And you are going to see, I think, on the back end of fight, especially to defund everything that he's doing. So is there going to be a willingness on your, say, more moderate Republican colleagues to go along with that, you think? I think at this point, you know, a lot of what I hear on the back end is they're worried about taking those hard votes. But with what we're seeing with the American people, right, you're just your average Republican voter and even independents and Democrats, they don't have faith in the justice system. So I don't think that it's going to be hard for them to decide, especially being that, look, we have at least 20 members in the Freedom Caucus that will not be going along with this. And ultimately, at the end of the day, you know, people say, oh, well, you know, government shut down this, that and the other. Look, we have a lot a lot of problems right now in Washington and we can't just continue down this path of doing the same thing over and over again.

Despite IRS Whistleblowers, Weiss Planned to Sign Hunter Deal
"Two very brave men, there wasn't a single Democrat on that committee that defended them, that wanted to hear what say, they had to not one, and this Dan Goldman in New York is a cover up artist and wanted to cover up for the Biden crime family and I want you voters to remember that. That's Dan Goldman. He thinks he's representing the people in his district. Well, do the in people his district support this kind of criminality going on and so David Weiss is corrupt. Now I want to educate people out there, particularly in the media, when they say he's a Trump appointee. David Weiss spent his entire legal career in Wilmington, Delaware. Joe Biden owns Wilmington, Delaware. He owns the state of Delaware. It's a tiny state. With a little over half a million people. Nothing happens in Delaware without Joe Biden knowing about it. Use an iron fist. Ah, Mr. Perdue. What the hell's going on with this thing? Hold on America. There we go. Once and for all. So, for a US attorney to be appointed in state the of Delaware by Donald Trump. First of all, he has so much going on when he first becomes president. It's probably not something he's really thinking about. Secondly, the head of presidential personnel at the time was John Boehner's guy. They made a huge mistake, did the Trump administration, on putting John Boehner's guy at the head of presidential personnel. mistake. Huge mistake.

The federal government is assisting as wildfires continue to ravage the Hawaiian island of Maui. FEMA is working right now with the state of Hawaii focused primarily on our search and rescue operations. FEMA operations director Jeremy Greenberg says a recovery operation is being jump -started but cautions it'll take a while. The confirmed death toll has climbed to 93, making it the second deadliest wildfire in U .S. history. Governor Josh Green says the numbers will continue to go up. We were here just two days ago and the number was smaller. It's going to continue to rise. We want to brace people for that. The number of those believed to be missing could be as high as 1 ,000 with an estimated 4 ,500 needing shelter. Hawaii's attorney general is conducting an official review into the state's response to the devastating wildfires. The prosecutor leading the criminal case now into Hunter Biden's taxes is being granted special counsel status. White House correspondent and attorney John Decker reports Delaware U .S. attorney David Weiss can now look into any of Hunter Biden's business dealings, not just the current tax and gun charges against him. It is coincidental that this announcement comes the same week that Republicans have released a memo indicating all of the money that was coming into accounts related to Hunter Biden. This after a tentative plea deal on misdemeanor taxes.

Well, hey, look, on the bright side, this will keep Republicans at bay. And here's one upside of David Weiss won't testify. Of course, this is a cover up attempt by Merrick Garland. It's so transparent that anyone can see right through it. But doesn't that mean it's not bad news for Biden. This is a bad news cycle for Joe Biden, I assure you.

Larry O'Connor: Garland Afternoon Dump Strikes Again With David Weiss
"And react to things like this for a living, I'm seeing two different reactions. One is that this is a fiasco and this is designed to actually skewer the truth and to protect not just Hunter Biden but President Biden, Merrick Garland and David Weiss, the special counsel himself. This is all designed to keep you, the American people from actually discovering the truth, to keep Congress from getting at the truth and doing anything about it and to actually protect all the individuals who should be impeached right now, David Weiss, the special counsel himself. But there's another strain of commentary at who look at this say, and you know, yeah, that may all be so. But this still isn't good news for Joe Biden. In fact, this makes the path for Joe Biden in the days, weeks and months ahead even tougher for a lot of different reasons. And I got to say, I agree very much with the former and to a lesser extent with the latter. I can be true. Yes, this is an attempt to cover up. Yes, this is an attempt to to actually protect all of those involved instead of actually getting the truth. The special counsel here has been named to try to clean up the damage, to clean up the mess, not to get the to truth and certainly not to find justice. But at the same time, don't walk down this path of being what I like to call an Eeyore conservative, where everything is bad and everything is horrible and there's no, nothing matters and it's all going to fall apart. I understand why your inclination is to feel that way. I understand

"Sean, thank you for making time for us. You've been really, really good and detailed on the whistleblower stuff. Take as much time as you need. Walk us through who are these whistleblowers? What do we know? And what are they alleging? So the biggest whistleblower, and I think the most impactful one, his name is Gary Shafley. He was a top criminal tax investigator at the IRS. He's still there. They've rough sidelined him. He's worked on some of the biggest tax cases on earth, looking at issues across the globe. And he was the guy leading a team of IRS investigators looking into the Hunter Biden case. I think he's been working on it for something like four or five years. And they had, under a dead right, a guy who wasn't, he wasn't just not paying taxes, wasn't even filing taxes. You can kind of understand why, because when you're shaken down for an oligarch and you're being bribed, stuff like that, based on his family name and a promise to influence, that's generally not money that's super easy to report. And so he wasn't supporting, he wasn't paying. They have text messages from Hunter to Chinese Communist Party connected oligarchs, where he told them, hey, the Biden family can destroy you if you don't pay us. And by the way, my father Joe, there's room with me. And if you don't pay us $5 million almost immediately, he and I are going to make sure we're your worst enemies. I'm paraphrasing. I'm not pulling an Adam Schiff where I claim that that's verbatim. I'm paraphrasing the text. And these were texts that were on the laptop. That's the essence of what it is, Sean. You're right. Yeah. the And so IRS, the FBI had Hunter Biden dead to rights. And along comes this whistleblower who says, yeah, we had this guy. We built this case. We had crimes, multiple jurisdictions. We were ready to go at every step of the process. DOJ tried to cut us down. They told us we couldn't charge here. We couldn't charge there. And David Weiss, the man who was tapped to lead this investigation, a Delaware U .S. sorry, I want to be special counsel. They won't let me do that. I want to bring tax charges in D .C. They won't let me do that. So this is all I can do. What's fascinating is we didn't get this evidence. We didn't get this information from the whistleblowers through Congress until after David Weiss himself lettered the judiciary committee in the House saying, I'm the ultimate authority. It's up to me to decide whether, when, or how we're going to pursue charges. And what's happening now is we've got some very, very well -attested, credible, contemporaneous evidence from these IRS whistleblowers that directly contradicts claims from both Merrick Garland and David Weiss that there was no DOJ interference and that Weiss himself charged everything. Somebody here is lying. We're going to need to figure out how we go about getting through. Yeah. So, Sean, I mean, and the question is, why would the whistleblower lie? Right. So let's dive into this. Who is this guy? If he lied, it would be silly. We know why Merrick Garland would lie. We know why Weiss would lie. We don't know why the whistleblower would lie. So just on a surface level reading of this, it's probably fair to say that there's some truth here. Right. Sean, your thoughts. Right. And we have contemporaneous emails. Gary Shapley, the lead IRS whistleblower, wrote a memorialization memorandum for this meeting that occurred on October 7th, 2022, where he wrote down everything that happened in the meeting, everything that was said, centered around the people who were there. The people who were there read that email and contemporaneously said, yes, that was our read of the meeting. So to me, it's not an issue of whether the whistleblower is lying. He's credible. There's evidence suggested that what he said was the truth. There's corroborating evidence. To me, the question was, did David Weiss lie to that entire team of investigators when he claimed to have charging authority? Did he lie to them when he said that he had asked for special counsel status and was rejected? Did he lie to the investors in that meeting when he said he wanted to bring charges in Delaware but couldn't? So what are you going to do? So the question really isn't to me whether the whistleblowers lied. They didn't. There's evidence suggested they're telling the truth. The question is, did David Weiss lie to all those investigators to make it look like he wasn't the one making the decision, or did he and Merrick Garland lie to Congress when they both claimed he was built by the 40s? That's the question. But at some point in one of these scenarios, David Weiss either lied to these investigators or he lied to Congress along with Merrick Garland. There should be very, very serious repercussions for that given that the former president of were passing documents that were his documents. But we have the president's son with the president now in the room when he was selling influence to Chinese oligarchs. How on earth has that not resulted in impeachment and removal of Biden as president? The man was literally selling influence to foreign enemies of the United States..

"To the point of what we saw yesterday with all these whistleblower disclosures dropped. Here it is. My other question, yesterday whistleblower testimony came out from an IRS supervisory special agent, current supervisory special agent who insists he was in a meeting with US Attorney David Weiss, who in October 2022 claimed in front of multiple people that he was told not to pursue the Hunter Biden investigation, not to bring charges in 2022. You said previously you've stayed out of the Hunter Biden investigation. It's been on David Weiss to figure that out. Can you once and for all shed a little light? There seems to be a little confusion on what's going on here. I'd be happy to. As I said at the outset, Mr. Weiss, who was appointed by President Trump as the US Attorney in Delaware and assigned this matter during the previous administration, would be permitted to continue his investigation and to make a decision to prosecute any way in which he wanted to and in any district in which he wanted to. Mr. Weiss has since sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee confirming that he had that authority. I don't know how it would be possible for anybody to block him from bringing a prosecution, given that he has this authority. And he was never told no. I'm saying he was given complete authority to make all decisions on his own. Let me play that last part again. A prosecution, given that he has this authority. Question? And he was never told no. Non -answer. I'm saying he was given complete authority to make all decisions on his own. That's not an answer. That's not the answer. That is not the answer to that question. And of course, we all know he was. So you know, I mean, this again, this is not calculus. We all read the transcript yesterday. John Solomon today. The top 10 bombshells from the IRS whistleblower testimony. Number one, prosecutors resisted IRS efforts to ramp up the investigation before the election. Number two, DOJ repeatedly squashed search warrants. Number three, Shapley and his team never managed to interview Hunter Biden nor any other Biden. Number four, prosecutors limited

He's just made a bunch of mistakes off ball in the series, which we've seen Jalen do a lot. But he's just, he's not the matchup for Giannis. And so they haven't really fought to avoid those mismatches in these last few games. And I feel like that's really hurt them. And I think they just did a little bit better job at fighting for that earlier in the series. But you said the two minutes from Marcus smart, would you like to see more, you know, four minutes, 5 minutes, or is that exposure elsewhere on the court? No, I think grand and all have done a really good job. I just don't see the need to change that more. There's probably some ways that they can change the way they're switching to get to have smart switch on instead of jail and more. So yeah, I guess I would like to see him maybe get closer to like three and a half minutes and you get jailing down lower. So maybe that's where it comes out of. But Horford and Williams should be the primary defenders on the other, most of the night. One concern obviously that, you know, I think a lot of Celtics fans have at this moment is that we haven't seen a great game from Jayson Tatum. It certainly not a complete one. He had the one really bad game, but even around that because I know he's gone for, you know, 29 plus points, three times so far out of the 5 games and on paper that looks good. But then you look at some of the percentages. He's shooting below 40% for the series. He's only shooting 30% from three for the series. Really bad the last few games and you know, I don't know if it's the risk that he mentioned, like an injury that nobody seemed to even really know about until he brought it up. And then, you know, so that concern and then or if it's just kind of a shooting rot that he's in or if it's, you know, am I not giving enough credit to the bucks defense? What do you attribute it to? What do you got, the bucks defense has been great. It's funny, he had 34 points, right? Right. But nobody thought he had a good game. No. I mean, the thing for him was like, they did a really nice job of having Yanis in that drop pick and roll coverage where he's sitting back on the screen deep into the paint and Tatum was just getting those pull up threes over and over again. And he was missing them all. He's missing wide open threes..

I'm looking to the legends of Celtics past whoever it is that I can bow at the altar to that this is not the last game that we have to preview. This is not the last Celtic speed where we have games to look ahead to until obviously the start of next season because this is just, it's too much fun in a general sense for it to come to an end now. This is Celtics beat Adam Kaufman, Jared Weiss from the athletic have valenti behind the scenes producing. He will join us again on camera soon. I promise, but Jared first and foremost, how are you, man? I'm exhausted. The intensity is so draining. The series has been everything we could have hoped for. It's been absolutely just stunning to watch. And it's funny. It's one of those games, it's one of those series where it's because it's been so close to these last few games that seem like one team, making declarative statement is getting met with so much backlash because it's like it was so close. And it's like, yeah, well, you know, the end results of the end results. And that's how these playoff series work. It's usually two teams that are equally as good as each other, and it comes down to that last game was a couple lucky bounces, basically. Or unlucky bounces. And a couple historically incredible plays. Well, we'll definitely get to some of the declarative statements because there are so many of them floating around on Twitter and from the Talking Heads, radio TV, whatever you're well aware, certainly. But, you know, sort of to your main point of just how exhausting this is. And this is for us watching, obviously you're traveling too, but not, you know, we're not even the ones out there on the floor, playing these games or game planning as the coaching staff are so many and in scouts and video and so on and so forth. Like, people looked at, you know, going into the playoffs and looking at this path for the Celtics. It was, man, first round series with the nets, like, that's like a Conference Finals matchup. Second round series with the bucks. That's like a Conference Finals matchup to watch the conversation. Yeah, like whichever team does advance to play either the sixers or heat, you know, you're gonna get some of that same stuff too, although it's gonna feel like probably a little bit of a letdown after, you know, the caliber of talent,.

Because specifically on the the black lab was like who is the the black representative for for pop culture and people could say maybe a rapper. Here their bus ie it's from baltimore anthony us from baltimore the basketball. Yeah it's like in terms of like the the breakout pop culture. Success is nobody really liked immediately comes to mind unfortunately saying there are some great filmmakers from baltimore that i would know as somebody who really follows a guy named matt porterfield who i absolutely love. There's a guy named theo anthony. Who's absolutely amazing. He's gonna blow up but they're certainly not household names. Edward norton is a great actor but he's stopped acting. Unfortunately josh charles is another one by man it's This he's right now for possible. Alleged hidden runs. And he's not want to. I don't i don't really have the answer. The question i was like. Who do you. If i was still a huge galls me of course but my ego is just so miniscule these days though now but yeah i think that's the thing and i think it's important that i think a lot of people leave. I think that's part of that. Issue is and true. It's like being an analyst or critical thinking exercise. You do the five wise and it's like why are people leaving this reason. Why is it that reason and so on until we get to. The root of it and especially with some people have interviewed different artists. And so on. It's like well. I could do better here or i could do better here. What have you always come back. But they usually don't and that's the thing for me when it comes to the pop culture thing. 'cause i reached out to a guy wanted to get this custom fitted cap. And he's like in terms of congress. What's baltimore and i was like. I am not putting a crab benefited gap and he had these really cool. New york has all of these different pieces of iconography and pop culture a representations and i was like you don't really have anything it's already going to be oriole's hat. What can i put on synonymous with baltimore. That really gets us over. That looks cool. And i always run into that especially being here as long as i have. It's like what's the thing we poppin know what you're thinking about like people who have left like you take somebody like t t the artist right like just when she was starting to sort of blow up in baltimore. She moves to the west coast. You know and chief. G made him a great movie about club music in baltimore to ban. Animal collective work which kind of bums me out. Riley you see them as like being described as a brooklyn band and it's like baltimore on the other hand beach house moved to baltimore but yeah it is. It is depressing when our best and brightest move onto the coast because so much is happening here in baltimore. I always i grew up in new york actually And the one thing i love about baltimore is that you can really do it here. Like anything you wanna do. You can do it here if you wanna put on clay you can put on a play if you want to go to a poetry slam and read poetry reader poem you can do that. And it's accessible and away and you can make a name for yourself here in baltimore which i absolutely love. But some of you want to move beyond baltimore. Why would you wanna do that. But if you intend to leave baltimore naked bugs. Yeah yeah so same. And i'm glad we have that inherited some.

You mentioned jealous. So what are some of your other including. Then what are some of your other interests in town question used to be the weirdest talent you guy but i decided to change it a little bit to be you know unless ought about it yet. The cello is really my other main thing. You know i was a music major issues. Double major and i almost considered becoming a professional jealousy. Not really. I'm like right at that level underneath where one could become a professional leader by was it would be a lot of sessions music. A lot of gigs. Were just running around trying to make money. So i am glad i didn't pursue it but one thing that i continue to do is continue to make music. I play chamber music. I play with hopkins symphony orchestra And i love playing cello. And what makes it so great for me is that it's a pursuit without working Because so much of what i do. In my job is words. You know writing reading writing reading and writing reading. Even when i watch him films just words and the cello. You're you're activating different part of my brain. Activating a different side of me. Creativity not somebody who meditates or does even does yoga but when playing cello. It's like. I'm in a different kind of zone almost And it's really it's therapeutic for me to play cello. So i would say that's like my other. You know number one habit but but my other talent but my other thing that i'm really into is really into twitter. Anybody can follow me. At neck's girl do follow me. You'll see that. I tweet a lot I remember harris saying like. Oh i used to do this column and it was like blogging before blogging. Once twitter came along. I was sort of like. Where is this bit by in this place. Where i could. I could say clever. Little things put down my opinion about literally everything. Because i tend to have an opinion on everything yes gonna come to mama do love twitter although any reasonable person also hates twitter because twitter can be a very destructive force in the environment aachen and also can be. There's people who tweet often make a joke. Never tweet because you can on twitter One false tweets at it can blow up your entire life. Basically you know and so it's amazing that we all keep tweeting knowing this knowing that one joke that you know go south and indexing your fire alienated from your emily and yet we all keep your so how To tweet at. I also huge sports sports fan which See the banner in the background. Yeah yeah. I mean that's Not not everybody would expect that about me. Because i am sort of this more kind of intellectual away but Absolutely love basketball. My favorite sport is basketball. I about the nba and college basketball. I love hana's like papa baseball but kennison and basketball right you. I watch a lot of sports too. I had a really by interesting experience. I think last time actually travel the apart and went to philadelphia in it was. During the mate of america made in america tours i think jay z in some rappers. Were there and it's just dirt bikes all types of nonsense and we on their two year before so she was like. Where's it hotel that we stayed at the rosa so we just fought a hotel with our luggage and stuff to the top level direct. Rosaiah watch tennis. And i was like this is great all screw that let's get some refrozen frozen actually loves tennis. That's what we did. It was great zane already out. It was like there was just a year when you could not escape for his day. Now we go to a bar you order a frozen. They're going to be like we don't have that gene anymore. Pass as like ha. I'm on is i. I loved great so as far as like people have baltimore related questions so as far as like people lay filmmaker specifically writers. Have you trying to capture baltimore in a fictional sort of way. Where do you think they acceler. Where do you think they fall short. I mean you know the problem. Unfortunately with baltimore is that it's not that something like the wire is not an accurate depiction although we now kind of realized that maybe a little too easy on the police department interest. But a lot of what the wire depicts Is is accurate. And it's important and you can't turn away from it and missing that we struggle with a lot of the magazine like you want to acknowledge the reality of baltimore. The ills of baltimore. There's so much great stuff happening in baltimore. And it's it's this constant. It's sort of like this delicate balance. Where you wanna celebrate. What's great about baltimore and lift up baltimore without burying your head in the sand about what's bad about baltimore so i feel like most nobles about baltimore are mostly dealing with crime and murder and stuff like that and that's disappointing. I just wish there were more. You know baltimore romcom things like that. It doesn't have to be about crime and drugs in racks and murder but that stuff is in baltimore as well. You know you as that anybody who is not from baltimore cannot do a baltimore accent. Thank you thank you can somebody addison. It sounds terrible. I wanted to say this. Because i thought it was funny. Based on the conversation thus far so that that that series falcon and the winter soldier they were in baltimore for the second episode. They were like what is happening. A couldn't resist. You just see like a police car this mean. It's a really a bummer. That we are sort of synonymous with urban blight. When you and i were people who live in baltimore we see how vibrant city is You know what an amazing arts community there is. What an amazing activists community there is food and all of that But at the same time. Yeah there's a lot of problems you know there's just a huge issue with Sort of the the the l. the white l. They talk about in baltimore and data. But that's my biggest wishes that fills about baltimore captured more of the totality of baltimore. Obviously i love john. Waters donors is it. I love movies and any journalistic baltimore want. You will have interviewed. John motors because he makes himself unbelievably.

"You think about that too because sometimes critics go to these. Critics screenings repent them in it. So it's like a screening room with maybe seven or eight people watching the movie and if you're seeing comedy it's not going to get that rock his reaction at sometimes if you're in a theater with a whole lot of people laughing at a movie it just seems funnier. You know you just you enjoy it more. Because you're having this communal experience. So i always think about that too and i do a review like with the still have benefited from do from seeing it in a crowded theatre eggs so she probably take that into consideration. When i write the review and certainly with with this nobody film it you saw it in a theater people would be going nuts streaming and whooping it up and he probably would improve the experience but it still would make it any less toxically masculine. I dig it. Dig it and i. I kind of noticed the same thing before we move off of this with. I'm a big wrestling fan. I like seeing each other around is fantastic. I pretty much for the last year. I've not even really stay. Stay connected to wwe just because of the thunderdome. It's stupid to me and it's just. I have a bunch of screens with people on air. And they're skype dan. i. I don't need this and i think it the for a brand that presents themselves being part of the universe and the universe is really important to them. Their fans are really important. They don't act like they are. So is this weird balance and the fans are integral to that experience even in watching it on on television. Like there's like fans come up with goofy chance. Dorner things sometimes throwing beach balls around giving that energy to could be a dead match then comparatively. I'll watch something For new japan. Wrestling i i think. Their product is better in terms of athleticism. There's no story. And i don't speak javanese but they have probably like fifty percent capacity there because japanese people are wearing masks at these venues and they're able to stop their feet with an and it's just like an energy that's there and it's like oh this is better like that you know worked punch looks a lot better when you hear. Oh no as opposed to mute it. People cheering on a screen. It looks odd as far as with. Wwe's but now they're just let me let me ask you this in terms of wrestling. You obviously know it's fake. So what is the appeal. Is it the you almost just view it as a fictional television. Show that you're just sort of watching story. Play out the way you might on any sort of fictional show. Yeah it's that it's it's it's an appreciation of that athleticism like it's almost in some ways a combination of multiple different sports and multiple. Different things. you have the soap. Opera element with some gymnastics with. Someone's like a flippy guide. You have some of the the striking and things like that and it's almost like watching like a choreographed fight scene in a movie or something. That's what i get out of it. And i've been washington for very long time and i will say the experience of going to a live. Event is just the energy. They're kind of community that we all know this. We all are looking at like all right so you better. So you're moves better. you know. Current has that better but it definitely is that knowing that the outcomes and all are already predetermined. And all of that stuff but yeah. It's you know automate sense. So what do you love most about what you do and why. What does that top tier number one thing for you. The budget things. I mean number one in baltimore magazine. It's working with by colleagues working with this. Talented team of writers designers photographers just the entire creative side of the magazine. That's inspiring to work in creative environment And then you know a magazine is a cool thing. It's it's empty every month right like think about that. Start out all those pages. There's nothing on them and you know to sort of watch how it comes together every month. constantly fascinating to me and a little scary but in a good way because it kind of gets that adrenalin pumping And then again it you talking about a collaborative team coming together to make it happen in people who are really passionate about what they do and then you know i'm just i'm really proud of the magazine I think we've done some really extraordinary work on in recent years. I mean no sounds. Like i'm blowing my own horn but i'm really talking more about my my co workers and the writers in i mean it's been a weird year like so so we did a pandemic issue right which was loaded like the heroes of covid. We plan our on our calendar. Pretty much almost a year in advance. Because we're a monthly so not every single story between the cover stories are mapped out with the features longer stories and everybody was pivoting. The we had to pivot so we were like doing this. Kobe story the heroes of kobe. In interviewing frontline workers and interviewing postal workers and amazon workers and scientists in this whole thing and then while we're working on that story. The george floyd thing happens and we had a different story scheduled for the next month and we forgotten pivoted again. You know. I mean we were like we can't dot right about this. This is the biggest story of our day so we did. An issue called a moment of reckoning. We talked to black leaders in the baltimore. Community in artists send activists and it was just really a lot of listening basically and had some beautiful photography and only put an issue like that or we get an issue on queer community in baltimore. I'm like yet you know really good stuff and this is not your father's baltimore magazine. This is this is a new a new thing which has all elements of baltimore magazine. That you're looking for so you're gonna get your food coverage in your arts and culture coverage in your lifestyle coverage but also does these meteor stories. So.

"Thinking bernal is a spectrum. A binary on off or a habit. Or i don't i think is really helpful and in terms of the research on the stages of burn out one of the things that's really interesting is the early stages of burn out which include things like having excessive drive and pushing yourself to work harder and harder than you start neglecting personal care. Needs these all our lake. How would you describe workaholic. I think it's when you get into the middle and later stages of burn out the you understand that it's not just about work habits and then the other thing that your comment makes me think of is i think often one of the biggest misimpressions people have about burnell is that it's just caused by working hard often. It's about the components that are you know have to do more with lack of fairness or poor relationships or frustration with values being transgressed. That are the real drivers of burnout. Not quote unquote just working a lot in hard so that gets a really important point and i believe this is a really important point to you. Which is it can be really unfair. Perhaps to frame burn out as an issue of individual agency because often it's not just that we have decided to work ourselves too hard. It's that were caught in noxious structures. Yes and i think that's critical. It's it's not to negate the role that we have as an individual but it's to add in the importance of understanding our environment. The teams were working in cultures. That were a part of so that we don't put all of the blame. And also all the onus on ourselves to fix it we understand this is we are part of a system so that is spot on. Its part of why. It's such an important component to me. And i think a big part of my frustration with how burnout is presented often. And we're talking a lot about it because of covid many articles. You know many how to's in. I think we broadly emphasize the individual in that which is counterproductive for exactly what you're pointing

Or was it just like a whole condemn session so when you say scientists there's really not that many scientists out there you know we got the puppets neil degrasse belie and lying box and those are the guys out there. That are pushing the propaganda okay. They say the sciences settled. And we'll never talk to flatter well. Scientists never settled scientists science sciences. We work with a theory until we find something better and they will never talk to us but they say they don't have time to talk but they'll do video after video after video gas lighting us and straw manning us and none of that you know with all nonsense. You know Neil says you know if they're still was was flat in the clips would look like this. You know sometimes right. That's no-one believes that no one believes that. The flatter authors don't believe that it's the earth that causes the lunar eclipse because it's been proven that it's not so a follow up question from what you have mentioned earlier. You know if antarctica is this big landmass. Why isn't there a sense of urgency to try to discover what's going on or if that has happened why do you think hasn't it been publicized. You're talking about. Yeah so the elite. They know what's going on out there. They don't want us to know because they basically they put us in prison that we don't see the walls were on a ball. The ball's a prison. Okay if they put a fence around us and said hey and articles there. It's bigger than the rest of the world combined. But you're not allowed to go there. They would be a revolution but as you're on a ball and because really cold. There's nothing to see there you know. There's nothing to see at the north pole either which is another lie No one wants to go there and no one realizes that we're in we're in an invisible prison and our presence in our mind. It's the globe so the reason that they don't want us knowing because once we know we no longer will want to obey obey them because when we realized that we are powerful beings and they have no authority over us. They lose all control. Imagine if everyone united tomorrow all the civilians in the world we united said we're all brothers and sisters and we no longer pay attention to delete but we could go open up our businesses. We could travel. We do whatever we but everyone is living. In fear everyone is controlled. They're literally shutting down all small businesses and all of the big companies the cosco's and the amazons and the jet blues those are all Giant corporations run by the government that will They'll be the only ones that survive and then you have to.

Everyone's getting the job and we'll see what happens in one thousand nine hundred eighty. There was a spanish flu. Everyone was wearing masks. Everyone was getting the jab and there was a massive massive die off way bigger than what they told us in eighteen twenty. There was cholera in seventeen. Twenty was the plague every hundred years. They pull the same old crap so sixty i want. I wanted to actually switch with david. I wanted to ask him about. Because i i.

It just circles around the earth. Now if you look. It's kind of not on the hour hand. Can you guys. Guess why i give you hands. It was last week. We're in daylight savings time. Which i call fake time. They're telling us it's an hour later than it is and it basically throws our clock off because we are connected to the sun and the moon and the stars and the wandering stars planets. But they're telling us that you know it's an hour later than it is. It's the throw a body clock off. it's not to make the day longer. Daylight savings to make the day longer is equivalent to say you know what my quilt is too short. So i'm gonna cut a foot off the bottom. I'm going to show it to the top and therefore my quilt will be longer. That's nonsense right so it goes around once a day. And if i speed up you'll see that the sun will start gaining distance on the moon because it will lap the moon every twenty eight days so the moon keeps track of the weeks and the months and the sun track of the hours and the days so every twenty eight days. It'll lap you know when it's opposed to it. We'll have a full moon and this is how we see the sun the moon so the next thing is a slow it down. And there's i've come the stars on and the stars are going almost the same speed as the sun but slightly faster so if you look now. The sun is just exiting pisces and moving into areas. And it's not moving backwards. It's just that aries. It's catching up to the sun and it'll stay in areas for about thirty revolutions and then it'll go into torres so that's how the sun is in each sign for for about a month of the year and that's how the signs the signs work so these aren't distant stars making these random patterns go far far away. They're all here within the system. And they all have energetic properties. We're all connected to it. So astrology is the real science. astronomy is pseudoscience.

"Was going on sixteen jr chile man another episode of the aftermath on the air man. Another interesting interview with interesting guests man so talking to flat. Irv david wiseman is a flat earth. Like i guess we call it expert so we better get all incidence man. I'll be ready man. What's going on is shaun. Koen gonna right all right so it's good to have you on the show man appreciate making time to come and talk to us man. Yeah no problem. let's get into it. Let's let's do that man you know you've got a story man and we got some questions for you about this day. This flat earth thing. I mean all our lives. We've been taught that the earth was glow and i'm guessing at one point. You believe that the earth was with row so how this how did this become an area of interest and can you describe what you saw who you talk to change your mind. Yes i'm just like you guys man my whole life you know we've been trained and taught. The earth is a globe. And i was doing conspiracy podcast and people started sending me flutters stuff dave have you looked into the flatter than i thought. They were joking like he can't be that stupid and they kept sending more and more. And i wouldn't watch it. I wouldn't click a single video. I am going to waste my time. I ban people from our social media for being so stupid even suggests a thing but then another researcher forced me to look like dave. You have to look at this. And i said okay. I'll just disprove it. That's it you know. I'm pretty smart guy and for two weeks. I started looking and more. I looked more ridiculous. The globe model got. And then i started doing experiments myself like i gotta i gotta video this myself and i went out and bought up. You know thousand dollar camera with a super zoom lens and our optics have outgrown their lies. We can see too far so that right there shows you that the earth is not a globe. That's how it started. Here's the thing. Flatter is not a pancake floating in space like bill light. Lying guy with the bowtie wants you. Think you guys there you freeze or did i free time. I'm here all right. Good good name bill. Ninety two they'll lie and then we have Lying box from england and we have Neil degrasse in high priests of scientism. They want you to believe that we think the earth is a discount space with other around planets even flat planet's not true. Nobody thinks that what the flatter is is. It's like a pond. Think of a pond. What does the pond upon his the low spot in the land. Where the water accumulates and the edge of the pond is where the edge of the pond is where the land is higher than the water right. That's the that's the. That's the container of the pond. Large bodies of water at rest needed container and that container is the shoreline that surrounds the world pond. That's known as antarctica. Antarctica is not a continent at the bottom of the ball. it's the shoreline of the world pond period. All of the continents are surrounded by water. But all of the water is surrounded by land right so you can sail around way you want. You can go away from the center that south and you don't get to the edge of a pancake. You get to the edge of the pond. That's it you can climb up on article. Which is the highest on earth by the way big sense since we live in the antarctic basin. And what's out here. it's off limits. No one's allowed to go out there ever until the year. Twenty forty one. So what's so significant about the year. Twenty forty one yellow sixty years from the one the sixty years. The treaty went into effect in nineteen fifty nine. They had to pick a number. I don't know if there's an significance in that but they're gonna kick the can down the road another sixty years if we don't wake up and figuring out by then just just to make sure i get this instead of an article. Just being a large landmass. You're saying it is the land mass and rounding correct. Just lift yourself up and look down. The earth is it could be an endless plain. We don't know right what's beyond their well. No one's allowed to go beyond this pink line which is sixty degrees south. Now you can spend ten twenty thirty thousand dollars go for three day vacation to this little peninsula right here which is gigantic by the way bigger than many countries and there's penguins and icebergs and they'll bring you out here and they'll show you a ceremonial south pole but you have no way to verify because compasses don't work and gps doesn't work out there. Okay and then they kick out. That's it no one's allowed to go out here except like the elite. Go out there. For some reason john kerry during the previous election went there on election day. When or what was going on down. There are out there. Maybe it's all frozen admiral byrd in the late. Nineteen fifties flew out. There said there's land bigger than the united states and no human has ever stepped foot on filled with resources. There's maps of antarctica without any ice on it their stories that maybe beyond antarctica. There's more territory extra tara. Tara is land territory. Extra is more so if somebody lived out there and they came to visit. What would you call them an extra tara extraterrestrial and you know where they live. They live in the outer space janda antarctica. So they're telling us what's going on extraterrestrials come from the outer space beyond antarctica. That's my belief. I approve of that. Nope and lead into the next thing. I was gonna ask you because that was a lot of lot of information that that. What's like the level of resistance that you get from people who just right off what you're saying. It's just like talking conspiracy. But then on the flip side how receptive do you find some people when you talk about. It all depends on the person it depends on. You know there's people that are so indoctrinated their egos are too big or their their security. There's too insecure to a willing to change their entire foundation of the world. You know the foundation of person's world is you're spinning out of control on a spec in random in a an infinite universe where you're so insignificant it doesn't matter and an asteroid can take you out. You're spinning out of control lost in space moving trillions of miles every decade. And you know. You're in a distant god or godless universe. When the truth is we are at the center creation on solid ground. We're not going anywhere. And we're safe no asteroids. There's no shortages of anything. There's no overpopulation. It's a complete and total lie. Everything they tell us and it's meant to keep us in fear and to give away. Our god given free will.
