CR Passes, Terror in Germany, Commiefornia Corruption, AI Dangers, and More - The JD Rucker Show

On today's episode of The JD Rucker Show, we discussed the passage of the Continuing Resolution and who actually won (Hint: Nobody).
We also broke down the insane coverage of the radical Islamic terror attack in Germany. Artificial Intelligence made it into two stories, as did Commiefornia corruption. Plus, more great stuff.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Hello, my friends, and welcome to another episode of The
j D Rutgers Show. The new and revamped version of
The JD Rutgers Show. For those who missed the last
couple of shows, you may not be aware that we
were making some changes. We're pulling away from the standard
politics politics, politics. And that's not to say that we're
not going to talk about politics. But but let's face it,

(01:01):
every other show on Rumble, every other show on X
done by conservatives, it's gonna be about the news of
the day, right, It's like, oh, we got to own
the Libs, we gotta got to push the mega agenda,
or we've got to do whatever. And nothing wrong with that.
I just I just didn't want to stick with the crowd.
It's not my style anyway. Look, I'm more of an

(01:21):
analyst when it comes to these shows. I'm not here
to bring on a bunch of guests and say, hey,
you know, how do you feel about owning the Libs? Hey,
why don't you tell us how bad the Democrats are?
You know that it was important, very important, I think
crucial for me and others to participate in that discussion

(01:42):
up until the election. But after the election, look, there's
plenty of people out there, you can find them who
will go through the news cycle and tell you everything
that's happening, you know, with the with the continuing resolution,
with all these various things. Now, there will be times
though that I do cover politics, and it will almost

(02:05):
always be because I feel that I'm offering a slightly
different perspective or sometimes it completely different perspective than what's
being put out there by by independent media or even
legacy media. But for the most part, independent media, that's
where I believe most of you are getting your news,
and praise God for that. But here's an example. So

(02:28):
apparently the new attack from the Democrats the last last
two or three days has been Elon Musk President Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is running the White House. He's the unelected
puppet master of Donald Trump, and YadA, YadA, YadA, and people.
I've watched some commentaries about it and they're like, oh,

(02:49):
they're going after Musk. They're going after Musk. They want
to they want to try to stop Elon from from
getting involved this, that or the other. And I'm like, no, no,
they don't. They're not going after Elon Musk. They have
no illusion that the richest man in the world is
going to listen to anything that they say on legacy media.
He's probably unaware of what they're saying, and what he

(03:09):
does know about what they're saying, he doesn't care. He's
not going to change his ways because he's getting bad
comments from Chuck Schumer. Okay, and so the target here
is not Elon Musk. The target is Donald Trump. Their intention,
the reason that they keep continuing to echo this narrative

(03:31):
is because they're trying to get under Donald Trump's skin.
They're trying to get hit, played to his ego. They're
trying to play to his Wait, no, why are they
saying that Elon's in charge. I'm in charge. I'm the
president elect. I'm the one that's running this show, not
Elon Musk. They're trying to get Trump to make Elon
back down or to stop listening to Elon Musk. That's

(03:52):
the intention of all this. So Lord willing, he will
not listen to them, and it's possible. Look, you know,
you could say I'm a huge Trump fan, huge Trump supporter,
but let's face it, he does have an ego, and
that ego can get bruised, especially if he's having his
adversaries and members of legacy media saying that Elon Musk

(04:14):
is actually running the country. Ooh, that's no, no, no, no no.
Trump doesn't want that, hopefully, and I think that he will,
to be clear, I think that he will be the
bigger man. He'll see through the facade, He'll see through
the kabuki theater and realize they're just trying to get
under my skin. Don't listen to them. I'm running a show.
Nobody doubts that, And no need to to pull back

(04:37):
on the reins of Elon Musk, because that's really what
what these democrats, these leftists and corporate legacy media is
trying to do. Well, as anticipated, we are seeing the
rise of the next plandemic. It's being labeled as an emergency.
It is. It's something that we have to be super

(04:57):
fearful of. Children think of it, children, think of the children,
think of the chickens. Yes, we were talking about bird
flu and all of these crazy things that have been
happening for the last really four years. Bird Flu's not new.
It's something that they've been kind of kind of pressing
out there for a while. And I've wondered myself is

(05:17):
you know, we've had bird flu, we've had monkey pox,
we've had disease ACT. We've had all these various diseases
that have been popping up. And I'm not sure if
they're sending up test balloons to see if we're going
to get scared of them, or if they're planning on
unleashing multiple over a period of time. But it seems
as if bird flu has won the prize, so to speak,

(05:39):
as being the next major plandemic, and it couldn't have
come soon enough, at least not for the globalist elite cabal.
We don't want it, but they do. And I believe
that they're going to use this to try to as
one of the ways they're going to try to upend
the Trump administration. Now, lest we forget, it is very
possible that they will use multiple diseases. This isn't just

(06:01):
because they tried COVID and it worked. People say it
didn't work. Except did it not work? I mean like
eighty percent of the population has been vaccinated more than
that probably, Yeah, I think it did work. It took
away our freedoms, took away our economy, decimated the into
certain industries, It sent our children back a year, two years,

(06:25):
sometimes more, as far as their development, their education. It
stole from us, It's stole our freedoms. It's laid the
groundwork for future plandemics such as what we may be seeing.
To them. I'm going to definitively say, oh my gosh,
you know, the bird flu is going to rise up,
and it's going to be this new freedom stealing thing.
It could be monkey pox, it could be some other

(06:48):
variation of disease acts. It could be a new version
of covid or some deadly flu or haemorrhagic fever. But
based upon everything we've seen for the last again four years,
bird flu seems to be the pricem Mary candidate for
plandemic two point zero article from zero Hedge. We have
a cross post with permission over at Conservative playlist dot com.

(07:12):
I'll skip through the part, which is the part for
today's show. Bird flu emergency is part of the foundation
for the next plandemic. Let's just go straight into the
actual news about or news and commentary from the pseudonym
Tyler Durden over at zero Hedge. Does California's bird flu
emergency portend the next Trump era outbreak? And Trump era

(07:35):
is the keyword there. I would argue by the way
that the had the election looked closer, In other words,
had they truly believed that they could defeat Donald Trump
with Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or anybody, then they
would have unleashed plandemic earlier. They would have tried to
do essentially a repeat of the twenty twenty election strategy,

(07:56):
which was to distract everybody with COVID and used that
as cover so that they could commit nassive, widespread voter fraud.
According to the article, this week, California Governor Gavin Newsom
declared a state of emergency over avian influenza aka bird flu,
and while Newsom says the order was simply a precaution,
after one person in Louisiana was hospitalized with the first

(08:19):
severe illness caused by the bird flu in the United States,
one has to wonder WTF. And it's true. I mean,
there have been some cases of bird flu, but only
one person, one person in the United States, has had
to be hospitalized for that. And I'm even skeptical of
that because they were saying that that bird flu, it
was either bird flu or monkey box. That somebody had

(08:41):
actually died down in Mexico, and the World Health Organization
came out and said said, see if this is a
killer disease, and then the actual officials there in Mexico
they're like, uh no, that wasn't it. This person died
of something else, and so so yeah, I'm not even
convinced necessarily that the bird flu hospitalization in Louisiana was

(09:03):
strictly based upon the bird flu, or maybe not based
upon the bird flu at all. Back to the article,
and this is from Newsome in a Wednesday statement. This
proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have
the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to
this outbreak. Whatever they say stuff like that. By the way,
just as a pro tip for reading politic keys, I

(09:24):
guess politic keys there's always I mean, these government agencies,
you don't need a declaration of emergency for them to
have the resources and the flexibility. What it means is
that they have less accountability. They can go act, you know, ready, fire,
aim a lot more easily than they can and maybe
not even a lot. It really is it's propaganda more

(09:46):
than anything else. It's fear mongering. It's trying to get
the indoctrinated to cower in fear. Back to the article,
according to Governor's office, bird flu has been found in
dairy cows in southern California. Therefore, the emergency is needed
to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus, despite
the fact that there have been no reported cases of
person to person transmission in the state zero. What makes

(10:10):
this extra interesting is a tidbit at the end of
the new documentary Thank You, Doctor Fauci, notably an infamous
op ed pen by Fauci. In this former quote unquote
Boss ANDIH had doctor Francis Collins, in which they suggested
that their dangerous research was a risk worth taking. Hmmm,
a risk worth taking, Well, maybe for them, not for us.

(10:33):
Which brings us back to California, where the new emergency
declaration will empower state and local agencies with additional funding
and flexibility and dealing with the virus that nobody in
the state has caught yet, as the Epoch Times notes. Further,
while not linked to human bird flu cases, a raw
milk dairy based in California issued a voluntary recall several

(10:54):
weeks ago after AVI and influenza was found in a lot. Now,
just a quick funny story. This is right before Thanksgiving,
and I, you know, I am on For those who
don't know, I'm on the ketogenic diet, and so I
don't generally drink milk, and I love milk. But because
Thanksgiving was coming up, and because I had some family

(11:15):
in town and we were you know, I was, I
took a break from from keto. So it's like I'm
itching for some raw milk. So we purchased some raw
milk and it happened to me from this dairy. Now,
as it turned out, there's all this hoopline. There were
a lot of stories that were coming out of the
time about how raw milk's dangerous, raw milk will kill you,
you know. Ah, Well, as it turned out they couldn't

(11:37):
actually find any of the bird flu in the raw milk.
They found out a one store, in one single lot,
in one case of this bird flu. So the war
against good food is ongoing. And does the bird flu
have something to do with it or is it part
of the war. Yes, that is one of their tools.
They're coming after. Raw milk. California is one of the

(11:57):
you know, we have so many restrictions here. One of
the few we don't have restrictions on is raw milk.
So that's been the one great blessing of living in Comifornia.
But it looks like they're trying to change that too.
So back to the article, AH, all of these illnesses
in the United States, except for the Louisiana case, have
been mild, and the vast majority have been among farm

(12:17):
workers exposed to sick poultry or dairy cows. This year,
more than sixty bird flu infections have been reported, with
more than half of them in California, according to the CDC.
In in the Louisiana case, the infected person is older
than sixty five, has underlying medical problems, and has been
in contact with sick and dead birds in a backyard flock.

(12:37):
So it's not like he's just walking around and he
catches bird flu, you know, or drinks some raw milk
and catches bird flu. No, he's old. I don't know
if it's here or she, but this person is old,
they have underlying medical problems, and they have their own flock,
including dead birds in their backyard. Last month, Canadian officials

(12:59):
reported that eighteen in British Columbia was hospitalized with a
severe case of bird flu. CDC officials did not answer
a question about whether the new US case and the
case in Canada had any similarities or differences, directing reporters
to ask Louisiana officials. Not Officials say bird flu is
still mainly an animal animal ish health issue, and then

(13:19):
the risk to the general public remains low. There has
been no documents spread of the virus from person to
person in the United States or anywhere for that manner. Now,
of course, I am not a doctor, and I'm not
going to offer you any medical advice regarding how to
handle the bird flu or how to handle monkey pocks

(13:40):
or COVID or anything like that. I can just tell
you what I'm going to do, which is I'm not
going to sweat it. I am going to watch for
and go after those who would try to use these
as predicates to take away my freedom. But outside of
that there is a story to watch. I would stay
frosty though, because again this seems to be the foundation

(14:03):
that's being laid for another pandemic, the foundation that's being
laid for another excuse to attack President Trump, to take
away our freedoms, to send the United states down a
very dark hole, probably an even darker hole than we
saw during the COVID era. Comie Fournia has become the

(14:26):
most corrupt state in the nation. It has been for
quite a while, usurping such states as Illinois and Pennsylvania
and even New York to take the crown as the
most corrupt. And when I say corrupt, I'm talking specifically
about not talking about bad policies or anything like that.
I'm talking specifically about politicians using their power to fill

(14:48):
their own coffers, their friends' coffers, their their crony's coffers,
to essentially steal money from the people, usually in the
form of taxpayer dollars being fun old somewhere, and they
the state of Comifournia has been able to even userp
corrupt cities like Chicago or Philadelphia or New York, where

(15:10):
corruption has been rampant there for for decades. No California
has has taken the mantle. And I think this next story,
this bombshell, really if it does turn out to be true,
and I have no reason to believe that it's not true,
but this next story is it's not even it doesn't
even stand out. Really, I mean, this is the this

(15:32):
is standard operating procedure in this this state that I'm
stuck in for now, for now. But according to a
an ex post by James Lee, you can find his
handle as at five one four nine. James l I
says I may have uncovered a massive scandal in Comifornia

(15:55):
gavenus and claims twenty four billion dollars for homelessness went missing. Well,
I found evidence of California officials possibly allegedly embezzling hundreds
of millions, if not billions of dollars through a sketchy
Cayman Island group. In response to an April twenty twenty
four audit which exposed that California did not know how
money going to solve homelessness was being spent, Governor Knwsom

(16:18):
responded by stating the results did not surprise him, but
added that California has taken part in unprecedented investments. What
kind of unprecedented investments, you might ask, Well, this is
where things get sketchy and are Todd Gloria, the mayor
of San Diego, who has been a on a tear
making housing deal after housing deal which he claims will
address homelessness. But when you look at the deals being done,

(16:41):
the price tags are astronomical. One hundred and forty five
million dollar project yielded at four hundred and seven units.
One hundred and fifty million dollar project yielded two hundred
and seventy units. I don't know about you, but these
look more like luxury condo investments disguised as public housing product.
But there this is where things get even sketchier. This

(17:03):
is one investment group that pops up over and over
again in all these city housing deals, the Chelsea Investment Corporation.
Here's what we know about the Chelsea Investment Corporation. Investment
group a developer that specializes in affordable housing, incorporated in
the Cayman Islands, headquartered in Carlsbad, California. The founder is

(17:25):
Jim Schmid s C. Hmid and the CEO is Charles Schmid.
I wonder if they're related. Are you ready for the
real doozy pay attention? Property records for their headquarters show
that in twenty sixteen it's sold for three point five
million dollars with three point one to five million financed.

(17:46):
But in twenty twenty three, another transact action for an
undisclosed price, but sixty eight million dollars finance, and there's there's
the picture of the building on the screen. Look, I
get it. Things are getting crazy out there. Inflation is rampant,
but that's what like twenty one or twenty two times

(18:06):
more than what had been financed for what seven years before? No, no,
none of this jibes. And here's the kicker. The lender
happens to be the San Diego Housing Authority, which again
doesn't make sense. The building looks to beyonned now beyonded

(18:28):
by thirteenth in Broadway. Ce SE LP a shell company
of Chelsea. But here's where there begins to be more
questions than answers. How did the property jump twenty times
in value in seven years? Why is the San Diego
Housing Authority functioning as their bank? One thing we know
when Todd Gloria, the chair of the San Diego's Budget

(18:49):
and Finance Committee, records show that the founder and then
CEO Chelsea Investment Corp. Was a major donor to Gloria's campaign.
Is this quid pro quo? We dig into UCC filings
and leans Chelsea Investment Group is leaving a nasty paper
trail all over the country, so their entanglement with public
Housing Diego or Kami Fourniam, I would advise you start

(19:13):
looking in your local area to see what turns up.
Final thoughts from James Lee. This is just the tip
of the iceberg and the search for billions of missing dollars.
Legacy media have failed. It's up to independent journalists to
uncover the truth and big help to a couple of
various people helping to expose this. I actually had posted

(19:34):
a video about this the other day over at the
Libertydaily dot com and somebody else had done basically the
same deep dive. But seeing it out here written out,
seeing the actual the actual evidence being posted, it's I
can't I mean, I can't get around those two major
facts that the cost the loan amount jumps up twenty

(19:57):
one or twenty two times, and then the San Diego
Housing Authority is the lender deaths. I mean, this doesn't
just it's not even just on the surface. This requires
an absolute deep dive because prima fossee this is corruption.
Any journalist worth their salt in the local area should
be diving into this, and apparently the paper trail is

(20:20):
not very hard to find. The only reason that any
of them might not do it is well, if they're
part of the problem. I would say the vast majority
of my audience is very, very hopeful for the future.
The election of President Trump has been just already we're
seeing shockwaves, we're already seeing results, even at this early stage.

(20:44):
But there are still concerns he can't do everything. He's
going to do everything in its vast power to protect us,
to protect our nation, to defend the Constitution, to protect
our freedoms. But that doesn't mean that there won't be risks, challenges.
We're already seeing wars popping up and rumors of wars
popping up across the globe. Will he be able to

(21:06):
stop all of them? I think? So? What if he can't?
What if, for whatever reason, cooler minds, cooler heads don't
prevail and we find ourselves in the midst of something tragic?
What about natural disasters? What about just the idiocy of
the globalist regimes across this planet that are trying to
do everything they can to destroy our food supply. They

(21:30):
want to control the food, and they want to make
sure that we're not eating the good stuff, especially as
it pertains to protein and specifically as it pertains to
beef beef cal seem to be the main culprit for
every boogeyman propagating bad guy out there. As a part
owner of an all American, patriotic freeze dried state company,

Well it's Friday, and we're now well over a month

(22:37):
into the alleged drone incursion over New Jersey and other places.
I say alleged because we don't I know, there's definitely
an incursion. We just don't know if they're actually drones.
They are allegedly drones, but maybe there's something else. Nobody knows. Apparently,
well somebody knows, but they're not telling us. They keep
telling us there's nothing to fear here, but we can't.

(22:57):
We don't know what they are. They tell us that
they're a threat to national security, they're not a threat
to public safety, but we can't tell you anything beyond that.
They know what they are. They being the powers that be,
especially within the deep State, the question is why don't
we know what is the what is the big deal here?
And unfortunately, as is always the case, the story has

(23:18):
sort of died a little bit. People aren't talking about it.
Despite the fact that there's still no answers, You're getting
some posts still coming up on social media. There was
news yesterday about about more areas of New Jersey being
completely shut down from from drones being able to fly there.
I don't know. I'm not sure why the story disappeared,

(23:42):
but that's one of the reasons why we have revamped
the jd Ruckers Show to to continue to talk about
things even if it's not top of the mind in
the news cycle. Of course, the continuing resolution in the
in the budget and the government's shut down. That's what
everybody's talking about, because because that's what that's what everybody's

(24:03):
talking about. It is what it is. A gentleman by
the name of Lewis Elizondo, he's still talking about it.
He went on a couple of shows and gave us
some pretty pretty good insights. This is a former intelligence
officer who who has some ideas. First he went on
with Don Junior and explained to him, ask the question, really,
why why aren't we shooting these down?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
We have the capability to shoot it down, we just
won't or we can't write and then somebody brought up
a really good point. Well, so the White House position was, well,
we don't want to. We don't want to endanger the public.
Right if we shoot one of these down and come down,
it could hit somebody's house. And yet there's these incidents
with the US Coast Guard where you have up to
ten of these things literally stalking a US Coast Guard
cutter and you're out the middle of the ocean. Why

(24:47):
can't you bring it down there?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
It doesn't make sense. It's the explanation of oh, by
the way, these are all lawful. So don't shoot them down.
But we don't know where they're coming from. We don't
know who owns and we don't know where they're going.
We don't know what they can do, and they are
over sets of military installations. I think is not only
utter nonsense, I think it's a disservice to the American people.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
These are important questions to ask, and unfortunately we're just
not getting any answers. He also went on with Chris
Cuomo and this is the part I like this, Well,
I shouldn't say I like it. I don't like the
fact that you know what the implication here. But just
for those who want to we're still thinking that maybe
this is aliens or something like that. Alizondo offers an

(25:32):
alternative perspective.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
There are some people who have reported that these things
are coming out of the water and they're zipping off
away at fantastical speeds. If that's the case, what we
may have here is a confused public. We might have
some people reporting true UAP events, followed by a Department
of Defense response by launching drones to go ahead and
try to find these these UAPs. In the old days,

(25:54):
when you had a sensitive military installation or a Department
of Energy facility, and you had an incursion across a perimid,
you would usually send up a helicopter, but that requires
having to wake up a pilot and starting the helo
and getting it started and flying it. Now we have
the technology to literally geo fence a facility and if
something comes across automatically, these drones deployed to their pre

(26:15):
planned coordinates and start doing the racetrack mapping back and forth,
which some of these drones appear to be doing. They
just kind of go back in this lazy track racetrack
back and forth, scanning for something. There is some anecdotal videos.
They'd have to be analyzed to see if they're legit
or not, but some of these show traditional drones trying
to intercept. Some of the videos now online intercept some

(26:37):
of these lights and they wind up getting shut down
and falling out of the sky, and meanwhile the big
set of lights just kind of disappears.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Has been reported by some law it's definitely an interesting take.
Let's say that China or someone else is engaged in
an incursion and they're using technology that we're not familiar with.
It we don't recognized properly maybe they're evading radar. Maybe
there's a test, and I say China is the most
likely culprit here, but it could be anybody. Really, drone

(27:10):
technology is not something that's exclusive to the United States
and China. We look to China because they this sort
of has their whatever fingerprints sort of on it, I guess.
But the idea that we have a system that is
AI driven perhaps or as he said, you know, with

(27:31):
pre planned coordinates, pre planned flight flight course, I don't know.
It sort of makes sense to me. But then again,
so did the nuclear sniffer theory. That made sense to
me as well. There's a lot of questions out here.
The only thing that we know for sure is that

(27:51):
either it's our government engaged in some sort of nefarious
action that they're not willing to tell us, or our
government trying to thwart the farious action, then they're still
not willing to tell us. Those seem to be the
only viable options here. But the one point, as far
as he was making, the one thing that I would

(28:12):
argue is that if if this is some automated drone
response to aerial incursions, then I believe we would have
known about that, because that's not something that you try
to try to keep hidden or keep secret, right, I mean,
that's something that you would want our adversaries to be
aware that we are defending ourselves, just to dissuade them

(28:33):
from even trying, or if they do try it, to
try to prevent them from I guess, not prevent them
from from taking it further. But you get the idea,
if they want to test it, then surely by now
we would have known that that's what it was. So
I'm not a huge fan of the theory, but we
have to put out all the theories because again, all we

(28:57):
have right now are theories. The people who know are
there are a lot of people who know what this is.
They're just not saying anything. But the people who know
have their reasons for not telling us. And while some
people might say that it's for our own good, I'm
I'm a big fan of transparency. I want to know

(29:17):
just about everything. I mean, so many things get pushed
off and listed as top secret or above our pay
grade or whatever because they you know, it's done under
the excuse of national security and to you know, to
keep whatever, keep the public in the dark, just because
they can't do anything about it. Eh, if there's a danger,

(29:39):
if there's a risk at all, then I, as an
American citizen, believe that I have the right to know
what the danger is, okay, and to be able to
act for myself and for my family accordingly. And that
just doesn't seem to be what these people are wanting
us to do. It is no secret that I am

(30:01):
not a fan of artificial intelligence. I think I've made
that abundantly clear. I think that the downfall of humanity
as a species will come as a result of artificial
general intelligence, which can be achieved when you hook up
AI to quantum computing, which is driven by a nuclear
power source and cooled with the most advanced cooling technology

(30:22):
known to man. You need all four of those components
in order for it to work. And we're not far
off from having that. As a matter of fact, some
would say that we already do have it, and an
AI AGI artificial general intelligence is already at work in
the world today. Now there are biblical implications. There are
good theories out there that highlight the idea that artificial

(30:45):
general intelligence will play a major role in the end times.
I've seen this evidence it does. It is compelling. We're
not going to talk about that today. We're going to
talk about twenty twenty four AI, what's out there in
the wild that we know of right now, and of
course into twenty twenty five. An article over at reclaimthet
dot org by d d Rankovic Us reports report reveals

(31:09):
pushed to weaponize AI for censorship at new US report
highlights federal attempts to regulate AI for censorship, proposing free
speech focused legislation to protect open innovation. And there was
another article that I'm not going to bring up, but
I might bring it up later, but it was calling
for for President Trump to get on AI and get

(31:33):
this figured out and and under control, will basically reined
in within his first one hundred days of office. I
believe that was over at PJ Medium, but I haven't
read it yet, so I'm not gonna talk about it.
This one I have read, and this is encouraging but
also very terrifying. According the article, for a while now,
emerging AI has been treated by the Biden Harrison administration,
but also the EU, the UK, Canada, of the UN,

(31:55):
et cetera, as a scourge that powers dangerous forms of
it should be dealt with accordingly. According to those governments
and entities, the only positive use for AI as far
as social media and online discourse go, would be too
power more effective censorship moderation. They like to call it.
A new report from the US House Judiciary Committee, and

(32:16):
it selects subcommittee on the Weaponization of Federal Government puts
the emphasis on the push to use this technology for
censorship as the explanation for the often disproportionate alarm over
its role in disinformation. Now, they like to say they
being the the I don't want to call them the
bad guys, because this is a great gray area, but

(32:39):
those who want to control AI for the sake of
using it as a tool against us, they will point
to that unregulated, uncontrolled artificial intelligence is what's driving all
the disinformation on the Internet through social media, especially X
and this is just a bald faced lie. They know
it's not true. Okay, they can point to a little

(32:59):
example of like you know, fake videos popping up and whatever,
but it's not true. The disinformation, first and foremost is
coming mostly from them, those who are claiming to fight disinformation.
And number two disinformation is still we still have the
intelligence of the discernment to be able to tell what's

(33:20):
real and what's not. At least some of us do.
Many on the left do not, but that's a discussion
for another day. And even many on the right don't either.
But hey, it is what it is. But the quote
unquote good guys, and we'll see how good they are.
They suggest that it should be left completely open and
that free speech should raid, and we'll see which direction

(33:41):
we end up taking, because I do believe there is
a quote unquote correct answer to this gray question. But
back to the article. The Interim reports name spells out
its author's views on this quite clearly, because the document
is called Censorship's Next Frontier, the federal Government's attempt to
control artificial intelligence to press free speech. It's pretty pretty straightforward,

(34:04):
very rare in DC. By the way. The report's main
premise is well known that AI is now being funded, developed,
and used by the government and third parties that speed
and scale to their censorship, and that the outgoing administration
has been putting pressure on AI developers to build censorships
into their models. What's new are the proposed steps to
remedy the situation and make sure that future federal governments

(34:28):
are not using AI for censorship. To this end, the
committee wants to see new legislation passed in Congress AI
development that respects the First Amendment and is open, decentralized,
and pro freedom. In other words, good guy AI, right,
that's kind of what they're suggesting here. The report recommends
legislation along four principles focused on preserving America's right to

(34:50):
free speech. The first is that the government cannot be
involved when decisions are made in private algorithms or data
sets regarding misinformation or bias. The government should be prohibited
from funding censorship related research or collaboration with foreign entities
on AI regulations that leads to censorship. Lastly, avoid needless
AI regulations that gives the government coerce of leverage. That's

(35:14):
an important one. The committee notes that the current state
of affairs where the Biden Harris administration made a number
of direct moves to regulate the space to its political
satisfaction via executive orders, but also by pushing its policy
through by giving out grants via the National Science Foundation,
once again aimed at building AI tools that come combat

(35:35):
and misinformation, but if allowed to develop in a free
and open manner, AI could dramatically expand American's capacity to
create knowledge and express themselves. The report states, Now, obviously
I'm very torn because on one hand, what they're saying
is is that government wants to suppress free speech through AI,
and we want AI to help to enable free speech.

(35:58):
So I agree on that first part, you shouldn't be
using AI to suppress free speech. But then again, I
also disagree with the second part. I don't think that
AI should be used to help enable or enhance free speech.
I'll call me an AI doomer, which I kind of am.
But this to me smells like a very slippery slope.

(36:19):
If given the choice, if it's a binary choice, of
course I'll take freedom AI helping with freedom over AI censorship. Well,
that said, freedom, once it or anything else is put
through the AI grinder, it is fundamentally changed. It's no
longer the freedom that we experienced before. And there's no
way for me to easily manifest or not manifest, but

(36:44):
but parlay that or portray it in a way that
is easy to understand. Call it a gut feeling. Maybe
perhaps you feel the same way, Perhaps you want to
expand on it. I will always take recommendations on how
top what I'm feeling and one I usually take those
from my wife. But if any of you can sort

(37:07):
of hear what I'm getting at and can help me
to elaborate on my fear on this concern that I
have regarding AI, please reach out to me. You can

Christmas season. Christmas is back this year after a four
year hiatus, Joe Biden are We are now excited to
have an actual Christmas. And if you are seeking the
right gift to get, there is one place where you

(37:50):
should definitely be shopping, and that of course is MyPillow
dot com. Go to my pillow dot com slash JDR
that automatically puts in the jd R. I believe it does.
Double check and make sure that you put in code
JDR at MyPillow dot com. And they've got they've got
specials out at the wazoo. Obviously, the classic collection is

(38:11):
on sale for as little as fourteen eighty eight with
promo code JDR. They've got pricebuster this and just great stuff.
And keep in mind when you're shopping for people, a
lot of this stuff is truly giftworthy, like the slippers
and stuff like that. So my pillow dot com slash JDR,
use promo code JDR, get the maximum discount and have

(38:34):
a merry Christmas. Whether you've been a prepper for a
long time or maybe you're just getting started, you're just
getting looking around and thinking how crazy it is. We
usually cover the basics. You get your foods, you get
your water, you get your ammunition, don't forget your ammo.
You get your battery chargers, solar battery chargers or whatever.
But a lot of times I think people will forget

(38:54):
their meds. Okay, whether it's chronic meds, antibiotics, it's I
think a lot of people don't even realize that you
can stock up on that stuff. They go to the doctor,
they go to the pharmacy and the pharmacists said, oh,
here's your two month supply or whatever. Well, you can
actually stock up on a lot of these meds by
going to jd Rucker dot com slash meds. You'll talk

(39:14):
to the good folks over at Jase Medical. They can
get you a twelve month supply of certain prescription drugs.
They can get you emergency meds, all sorts of good stuff,
things that you may or may not need. But it's
always good to have it on hand because I guarantee you,
even if you don't think you need it today, you
might need it in the future. Jd Rucker dot com

(39:40):
Germany at a Christmas market, very very crowded Christmas market.
A terrorist drove their car. The last report I saw
was that it was a Saudi Arabian national who drove
their car at extremely high speeds through this crowded, crowded
Christmas market. You can expect that at a Christmas market,

(40:02):
chances are it's going to be a bunch of Christians there.
And yes, the driver of the car, the terrorist was
a radical Islamic terrorist approximately fifty years old, who drove
through and killed. Last I heard approximately eleven people in
during eighty maybe more. I'm not going to play the video.
It was hideous, but I do want to point to

(40:24):
the reporting from corporate media, which is not as hideous,
of course, because they're just issuing propaganda, whereas the terrorist
actually killed people. But it still makes me mad. It
really chaps my Khakis. Here's the postal Me Associated Press.
A car has driven into a group of people at
a Christmas market in Germany. A car. I guess it's

(40:48):
a self driving car. It's not being driven by a
murderer or a terrorist, it's just a car. Car was driven.
They hate us, They being the legacy media, the radical left,

(41:09):
will do anything they can to promote and encourage lies.
And here's the funny part, and it's not funny at all, actually,
but it is. It is sickening. Is that as much
as AP tries to cover up the reality of this terrorist,
this radical Islamic terrorist, as much as they try to

(41:31):
try to downplay it and hide the facts, Day two
would be easily targeted. There's nothing they could do to
prevent them from being targeted unless they were to submit
to Allah, submit to Islam. Now, this is an attack.
This is not an attack against the Islamic faith. This

(41:52):
is an attack against those who use Islam as an
excuse to commit horrendous acts such as what happened today
in Germany. And it's an attack for sure against the
legacy media that continues to pretend like there's no no challenge,
no problem, No mass immigration, you know, mass mass refugee

(42:16):
resettlement across the European Union as well as here in
the United States. Not a problem. Open border is still working,
still working. Nothing to see here. Don't worry about the
massive terrorist attack. It was just a car, just a
car that was driven through. Just happened to me. People
in the way of the car. As a matter of fact,
maybe we should blame the people for being in the

(42:37):
way of the car. I'm sorry for getting annoyed and sarcastic,
but you don't hate legacy media enough. I've long said
that our addiction really too smartphones, to mobile apps, to
always having everything at our fingertips. Everything is available, whether

(43:00):
it's cameras, videos, news. A lot of people have gone
to almost smartphone only lifestyles. I have not. I choose
to use my phone as a phone, sometimes as a
texting device. I don't have very many apps on there
at all. I don't even post on X through my smartphone,
which I know is really weird. You know, people call
me a boomer as a result. But I will maintain

(43:24):
as much anonymity as possible on my smartphone. I even
turn off locations. How do you get around Rucker? What
about the GPS? I'm that nerd that actually looks at
a map. I know, crazy, crazy talk anyway, But my
little ineffective boycott is not going to change the way

(43:47):
things are. And it doesn't matter if there's fifty of US,
one hundred of US, thousand of US, wouldn't matter, if
there was a million of US. Wouldn't even matter if
there was fifty million of US. There's enough people in
the world, and especially here in the United States, who
rely on their smartphones for their lives. And that's unfortunate,
but it is. It is a reality, and they're going

(44:07):
to take advantage of it, especially in this coming year.
According to Info War Sean Miller, he says that twenty
twenty five will be the year of digital ID and
increased fraud may be used to justify it. In other words,
you you know, there's too many, too much fraud in there,
too many things that can go wrong. It's better to
have your smartphone tied to biometrics. That's basically what they're saying.

(44:29):
This according to corporate analyzes. His bullet points say digital
ID replaces ID cards with smartphone apps, which various systems
are being deployed throughout the globe. Systems tie a person's
biometrics to their app. There's a push to include more
biometrics and even behavioral and activity monitoring for greater identification abilities. Guy,

(44:50):
I'm a huge fan of turning off any and all tracking.
As a matter of fact, you know, if I'm not
gonna recommend this for everybody, because I know there are
certain benefits to being able to be reached. I have
benefited myself. There are times when having a smartphone has
gotten me out of a jam, or gotten made it
to where I can find somebody that I needed to
find or whatever. So I'm not just poop pooing on

(45:13):
and saying no, go analog or just race all digital.
And there's nothing wrong with that, by the way. If
you look, if you have the means, the capabilities, the
detachment from others in society, and you can just go
without a smartphone, go without a mobile phone altogether. Heck,
go without a computer, go without the Internet. I would
love to go back to a time when when we

(45:33):
got water out of a well or at the river,
and and uh got our power from from wood. That
would be great, But I'm not there, and chances are
if you're watching this show, you are not. You're not
powering your your video player through through through a coal

(45:54):
coal burner. But with that said, those who can, dude great,
do it because they are trying to get us as
locked into our devices as possible. Next bullet. While twenty
twenty five will see a massive increase in digital ID
apps going online, mandatory biometric scans of all citizens for
classic ID programs have become standard practice in many countries

(46:17):
throughout the first decade of the twenty first century. We'll
talk about other countries later. I'm more worried about what's
going to happen here next year. In the December eleventh
webinar Bytrinsic It's a leading infrastructure for infrastructure for issuing
and accepting reusable ID credentials, it was stated that half
of US states will be debuting mobile driver's licenses in

(46:39):
twenty twenty five. Identification fraud watchdog groups and related organizations
have recently published multiple reports on the increase in digital
financial fraud, often tied back to identification impersonation in the
cyber domain. The relationship of government interaction banking, digital ID apps,

(47:00):
and biometrics is rapidly becoming more intertwined. They're going to
tell us and they're in the pro I shouldn't say're
going to They're in the process of telling us that
security is everything, that banks have to be secure. This
is one of the reasons they're going to push not
just for digital IDs, but also for a digital dollar.
I know that Donald Trump has come out against central

(47:20):
bank digital currencies, Praise God for that. Hopefully he sticks
to his guns on that. But then you see the
rise of cryptocurrencies. Now the two are very much opposite.
One is centralized, one is decentralized. But that's not going
to stop them from trying to ride the wave of cryptocurrencies,
ride the wave of Bitcoin's continued rise, and try to

(47:41):
use that to force us into a digital payment system.
It's one thing to have access to bitcoin. I am
very much in favor of bitcoin. I like the decentralized
aspect of bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. With that said,
a government controlled cryptocurrency a digital dollar that I am
very adamantly opposed to. They will try to equate them

(48:04):
as being basically the same because they will both be
on blockchain. But the difference though, is that with a
central bank digital currency, the end user is always going
to be the bad guys, the people that you don't
want to charge them. And it may not even be
the government. It could be associated with the FED, it
could be associated with private industry, with private banks. We

(48:25):
don't know how it's going to manifest, at least I don't.
Maybe some of you do. Maybe some of you have
done the research and formulated a hypothesis, but I have
not heard any so far that are definitive. I've heard
some good ones. There are some good conspiracy theories out
there about cryptocurrencies, about digital dollars, central bank digital currencies

(48:46):
in general. The end goal here, the way that they
get to one a one world economy and a one
world currency to drive that one world economy is by
launching all these various central bank digital currencies and the
central banks across the nation I'm sorry, across the world,
and then having some sort of cataclysmic events something that
forces forces us as a society to bring it all

(49:12):
together to have just one central bank digital currency to
rule them all, and then that will be under the
control of the globeless the elite cabal. They will determine
if you get to use your money, because your money
will be their money. You will own nothing, and you
will pretend that you are happy. This is this is
where they're heading. And every step that we take along

(49:34):
the way, incremental or not, whether it's leaps and bounds
or little baby steps, we are getting closer to that
reality and digital ideas through your smartphones tied to biometric
identifiers for security. That's the that's the catch all. It'll
always start off as optional before eventually becoming mandatory. It

(49:58):
will always start off and as a test before it
becomes ubiquitous. That's how they operate. We need to wake
up to it because tomorrow, at some point sometime in
the very near future, it's going to be very difficult
to operate in the United States of America without a

(50:19):
smartphone that's tied to your biometrics, that's tied to your
bank accounts, or identification, your social credit score, that's tied
to everything. If you have the means to be able
to go analog, now's probably the time to start getting
that ready. Since our show is being shifted in a

(50:43):
direction to be more conspiratorial, there's going to be the
occasional story that is, we'll call it experimental, a story
that is that has maybe a fifty percent chance or
even less sometimes of being accurate. But it's worth noting
because it could be true, you know, And I always
look back to how wrong many of us were. If

(51:05):
you'd asked, if you'd said, for example, back in say
mid twenty nineteen, that the government would be able to
get us to completely lock down and decimate the economy
over a disease that was essentially a bad flu, then
we would have said, no way, we would never comply.
And yet the vast majority of people did. The vast

(51:28):
majority of Americans, freedom loving Americans allegedly wore masks everywhere
they went. The vast majority of Americans got injected. So no,
I'm not going to pass on a story just because
it's probably not true. Such is the case of this
latest one from Natural News. SD Wells over at Natural News.

(51:50):
As drones, Syops solved them Chinese drones from light Show
in September used by Biden regime to control American thoughts
and create anti religious, alien and narrative. Now, I've heard
this theory long before the drones. I mean, I think
if you are in the conspiracy theory world, you know
that the idea one of them is a combination of
a biblical theory as well as a straight up secular

(52:12):
conspiracy theory. The idea that they will try to manipulate
us through a fake alien invasion, and they will use
this alien invasion as a way to bring us further
away from the faith, to manipulate Bible believing Christians into
thinking that perhaps their worldview is wrong. So this could
be the case. Let's read through through these bullet points

(52:34):
from the article over at natural News. Psychological operations syops
our military actions aimed at influencing perceptions and attitudes to
coerce desired behaviors by exploiting thoughts and actions, often considered
a form of brainwashing. The use of social media platforms
like Twitter during the Iraq War highlighted the potential for siops,
with fake news and fake followers contributing to manipulated narratives.

(52:59):
Recent citing mysterious orbs of light and large drones in
the sky have raised concerns about government run syops and
the manipulation of public perception through advanced technology. President Biden.
President Biden's acknowledgement of authorized drone operations over New Jersey
hints at a coordinated effort, possibly involving China, to create

(53:19):
elaborate drone shows for public consumption. The current focus on
alien and drone related phenomena is part of a manufactured
syop to influence beliefs, divert attention, and shape global reactions
according to political and globalist agendas. Now, Ah, Obviously, I
am a very big fan of the notion that our

(53:40):
poop see wrong button, there we go. I'm a very
big fan of the notion that our government, elements of
our government, and as well as the globalist government itself,
they are both involved in siops through our deep state,
through our uniparty swamp, through corporate media control over corporations themselves.

(54:02):
These siops are designed to hurt us in a certain direction.
One could say that COVID nineteen itself was a syop.
That's not to say that. I think a lot of
times people believe that syops have to be completely manufactured.
That's not the case. A syop can be rooted in
partial truths. Did COVID exist? Yes, there was a COVID pandemic.

(54:23):
The question is is well there's a billion questions about
it that I'm not going to get into. But they
didn't have to pretend like there was COVID. They actually
had COVID, and then they used our fear and manipulation
through media to drive us in a certain direction, to
give them certain powers to possibly even use it to
steal an election. Well, is this the same thing our

(54:46):
drones and the orbs. We're glad that they mentioned the
orbs too, because those are separate phenomena. Many of them
are coming out during the day. You don't see the
drones during the day, but you do see orbs during
the day. We'll see, we'll explore that deeper in the future.
So could this really be a coordination with China or
someone else, somebody else with the technology, with the means

(55:08):
to be able to get the American masses prepped for
a quote unquote alien invasion or just even alien contact
in general, it would seem that it's possible. And whether
or not that's happening right now, or it's going to
happen in the future, or it never happens at all,
it's something that we should as properly thinking American people,

(55:31):
as many of us being being Bible believing Christians. We
should take into account the possibility. Look here, it's almost
twenty twenty five. Anything is possible, Anything can happen. Don't
get lulled into complacency just because Donald Trump won, just
because things are looking up in certain areas, because before
you know it, everything that you think is normal could

(55:54):
go south in a hurry.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
I have one kid, you have five kids.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
How do you That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
It's kind of like being an FBI agent. You're always
kind of monitoring them and making sure everyone's safe.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Makes good sense. You know, I'm actually a real agent,
not an agent. I'm actually a deputy sheriff. You really
are there many many years?

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Are you serious? For real life?

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Real life?

Speaker 4 (56:14):
Unbelievable? So you're a sheriff. Played a Princeton pro football player,
greatest superhero of all time.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Never never drafted to Major League Baseball like you for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Knuckleball How you hit a knuckleball?

Speaker 5 (56:28):
You don't? You don't, you don't.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
That's the whole points and beauty of it.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
You know, we may have always played on different sides,
you know, being the superhero, the super villain, villain, but
we have a lot more in common than I thought.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
That we did, which is shocking, because one thing's for sure,
Genesis Gold Group is a company that we both trust.
They make safeguarding your IRA or your four oh one
K as simple as possible, and I need simple, to
be honest.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
And with their stellar reputation, they're as solid as the
gold that they sell.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Like this gold right here, so called Genesis Gold Group
today at one eight hundred, two hundred gold. This is
what they call prepper bar so like you can break
off these see these little pieces.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Oh it's on both sides.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
It's great because you can care they're small and oh.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Yeah, and you can literally use it to spend this one.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
This this is a big fella. This is a really
great so real, this is the real one.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
He won't hold it, Holy smoke.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
That's pretty great. You can get that one of those
from Genesis Gold yourself.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
How you guys see this?

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Look dean, Dean, Dean, that's my kid's college tuition money.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
Hold on, who's the super villain? Now? Huh? That's my
gold Dean.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
So the year passed the house and there seems to
be a lot of questions, a lot of confusion as
to who who actually won.

Speaker 5 (57:54):
Who?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Is this a victory for for Trump and the Republicans?
Is it a victory for Mike Johnson's side of the
Republican Party. Is it a victory for Democrats? Sure seems
like a victory for Democrats because every Democrat that voted
for it voted in favor of it. There was not
a single nay vote amongst the Democrats. As a matter
of fact, more Democrats voted in favor of it than Republicans.
It's like, wow, that's crazy, So they must have won, right.

(58:15):
That seems to be a lot of the sentiment. But
then there's the sentiment that, hey, you know, the government
didn't get shut down. We cut from a fifteen hundred
page bill down to like one hundred and ten page bill.
It's a victory for Republicans. And now you know, it's like, oh, well,
I don't know who won. The correct answer is that
nobody won. The American people lost big time on this
one because we have more spending and more spending than

(58:37):
we even had before, which was already way too high.
The Pelosi style spending, the Biden style spending that was
already still in place, and we didn't cut from that
at all we added to it. But then on top
of that, we didn't get the separate bills, which is
what would have been an important and extremely important and
perhaps even a defining moment for Mike Johnson, a way

(58:58):
for him to say, hey, look, I can be Speaker
of the House. We're going to do things the right way.
We're gonna we're gonna vote instead of putting everything in
this omnibus cramnybus whatever bus, We're gonna vote on this
individual bill, this individual bill, this individual We're gonna fund this, this,
this all separately, all individually, forget about all this whole
cram it all in stuff. This would have been a

(59:19):
defining moment for him, but instead he he buckled, and
he buckled because I think that if he tried to
do separate individual bills, then the Democrats would have not
voted in favor of it, even though it would have
been the same thing, right, because they don't want They desperately,
and it's not just the Democrats, it's the uniparty swamp
as a whole. They desperately don't want bills to be

(59:41):
split out individually because they know that their favorite bills
would get would not make it the only way they
can get a lot of their stuff funded is by
sneaking it in, sneaking it in through through through omnibus bills.
So that's why they were so against it, and that's
why Mike Johnson had to cave and and put it
all together as one, even though he had already promised
people such as represented Thomas Massey that he was not

(01:00:04):
going to to put them together. He caved on that.
He caved on the debt limit. President Trump wanted the
debt limit essentially removed until twenty twenty seven. He's now
pushed that to twenty twenty nine when he wants the
debt limit to come into play again. It's an arbitrary number.
We can debate whether or not it's it is even effective.
President Trump says it's not. I tend to side on

(01:00:27):
the opposite end, you know, I mean, I'm I like
the fact that there is a debt limit. I know
that it's unnecessary. I know that it's it doesn't actually
have a benefit. If we're just going to keep pushing
it anyway, what's the point of having it, right? But
you know, it's I don't know, it's it's maybe a

(01:00:48):
symbolic victory for us if we were to have the
debt limit, because here's the thing. Republicans claim that through
Agenda forty seven that they're going to be able to
reduce spending. So they can do that, and then they
if they reduce it enough, then the debt liment won't matter. Right,
except it will because we know that with interest, with entitlements,

(01:01:11):
with all the various must haves in there, it will
be almost impossible to not hit the debt limit. Our
national debt is going to rise. It is never going
to drop. We would have to go into in sane
levels of austerity. Dogs would have to have to basically
take over and cut everything for that to happen, and
that's not going to happen. We have high expectations, but

(01:01:34):
I don't think that they're going to be able to
do enough to actually start reducing the national debts. So
that's that's a discussion for another day. Back to the
cr Yeah, so who won. Nobody? Nobody won. But the
important part for the Democrats and the reason that Hakim

(01:01:55):
Jeffreys had everybody who was willing, anybody who was who's
going to vote in ay, he told them to vote
no vote or present he wanted zero nay votes. He
wanted to out vote the Republicans so he could take
credit for this, so he could say that this passed
because it is a Democrat bill. But more importantly, Elon

(01:02:17):
Musk didn't weigh in nearly as much as he did yesterday.
In the day before, President Trump didn't weigh in at
all publicly. So he gets to go out there and
the press will back him on this. They'll say, look,
this is a Democrat bill. Basically, Mike Johnson told the Caves,
this is a Democrat bill. Democrats got everything they wanted.
They didn't. They didn't get anything that they wanted really,

(01:02:38):
I mean only symbolic victories. But it's all about narrative.
It's all about optics. And we're seeing it. Okay, we're
seeing it out there in the blogosphere, we're seeing it
on social media. Republicans are like, oh, this is awful.
This is awful. Look unless unless you the only the
two big things that make it awful for Republicans would

(01:02:59):
be the not preaching the debt limit that President Trump
wanted and not voting as individual bills as the liberty
minded folks in Congress wanted. Those are the only two,
only two things that were given up really compared to yesterday.
Whenever it's like, oh, they got to sign it because
President Trump wants it, Elon Musk wants it, everybody wants it.
That's one that we want. Not much changed, but enough

(01:03:23):
change to where again, this is kabuki theater. Government's gonna
still continue to spend way too much money, but at
least we get disaster relief for those who need it.
We get farm farmers get relief. There are some positives
in this, but it's still it really is. It's it's

(01:03:43):
just kabuki theater. That's it.
