Speaker 1 (00:14):
I don't even want to finish film in this video.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I just want to sit here with my stupid little
twenty two and just clink.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. Is that what this is?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
That?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Is that? What's happening? There's so much happening right now,
you can't be sure. Really, what's the cause of this?
What's the root cause of this podcast? Everyone? Uh? Probably
so much BS that I see in mainstream media and
from actual human beings that I finally got tired to
holding it in, so I just went in my own

(01:02):
space to call out all the bs? Is really what
it is? Is this a right leaning podcast?

Speaker 4 (01:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Does it sound like it? Sometimes? Yes, because the truth
seems to favor the right a lot of the times. Okay,
now a lot of the times meaning not necessarily right
wing politicians, because not one politician can be trusted with anything,

(01:33):
not necessarily politicians. Okay. But I don't know how this
podcast started like that. I don't know how that happened. Hello, everyone,
Welcome to the Soapbox Champion Podcast. You're listening to episode
one eight nine. It's Tuesday, June tenth, twenty twenty five.

(01:54):
My name, My name is Craig Lenny. Hi. Guys probably
started like that because constantly getting bombarded with comments online
like well, of course you would say that you're obviously
right wing Trump lunatic, or you know how many times
I've heard your buddy Trump, I've heard that so many times.

(02:18):
Come up with a Soabox Champion podcast episode where I
expressed love for Donald Trump, Come up with one. Sometimes
do I say, yeah, he's doing the right thing. Yeah,
you know why, because he's doing the right thing. Sometimes
over the last four and a half years, did I
say Biden was incoherent and have dementia, he shouldn't be

(02:42):
running the country. Yes, because he was incoherent, probably had dimensions,
shouldn't be running the country. That's called truth, that's called
critical thinking. No one told me to they say those things.
It's just observations that I made and expressed what I

(03:02):
feel because I can, because this is my podcast, and
I do what I want. Uh, I don't know. It's
just it's just crazy that that just just speaking your mind,
having facts and truths and circumstances back you up, doesn't

(03:23):
get you any ground. It doesn't. Ah, you still get
called the trust well whatever, man, whatever, dude, it's like
fighting a circle jerk, you know. Uh, do you want
to beat their asses? Yeah, but you don't want to
touch it. You don't want to get involved, so you
just back off and talk about them whatever. Whatever. Uh
go ahead, go ahead and uh go ahead and lie

(03:44):
to yourself for the rest of your life. Go ahead
and uh stay in the group you're in, and never
ever get out of that group because you all hold
hands and say orange Man bad, And then you lie
to yourself that Biden was a spectacular present and was cogent,
he was coherent, he was just amazing. Go ahead and

(04:07):
lie to yourself about that, Okay, for the rest of
your life. I don't give a shit. I don't. Also,
if you don't like this hear what I'm saying, don't
don't listen. Don't listen, don't go elsewhere. Go listen to
uh some non binary furry talk about how great Biden

(04:30):
was every day on Blue Sky. Go do that, because
those are your people. Those are your insane people that
live in a in some sort of fantasy world that
I won't be a part of. I refuse to be
a part of it. Ah. I just call out the
bs and guess what I enjoy it. I enjoy the

(04:51):
shit out of it because it's easy. The Democrats the
last several years and the left wing lunacy hasn't made
it simple to do what I did. I like to
keep this around forty five minutes every week. I push
over an hour a lot, because there's so much to

(05:14):
talk about. It's just you just get flooded with content
like I'm talking about to reference you know what I'm
saying and whatever, whatever. Rant over another week on earth.
And we did all right, didn't we? You? And I

(05:35):
did probably, And like usual, Los Angeles is on fire,
another wildfire caused by poor land management and mismanagement of
reserve water reservoirs over the past few years. And all
the funds are gone. Oh no, no, no, not this time.
These are riots primarily in response to immigration raids conducted

(05:59):
by ICE. The raids, which began on June sixth, targeted
workplaces such as apparel manufacturers in the fashion district, a
clothing wholesaler, a home depot which I'm not sure if
is a joke or not, swear I haven't confirmed it,
but all these resulted in arrests of over one hundred
undocumented immigrants and another way to say that is illegal immigrants,

(06:24):
and they included one hundred and eighteen reported by the
Department of Homeland Security by June seventh. This is LA
So of course there had to be riots because all
those freaks just wait to riot. They're standing at the
door with their burglar mask. I don't even know where
you fucking buy one of those. In twenty twenty five.

(06:45):
They have their masks, they have their backpacks full of bricks,
cinder blocks so they can en a hammer, which they
can break that cinder block into pieces to throw at
cop cars. They have that all by the door, like
that's their bug out bage, you know, bug out time
happens they're grabbing a cinder block. I'm grabbing something to
shoot them in the face. That's the difference between them

(07:07):
and I. You see ignorant people, prepared people, whatever. Whatever.
I'm not a good mood today, you guys. Why because
I have to listen to people lie as part of
this podcast. That's what I do. I've spent days listening
to people lie, and I spent days trying to see

(07:27):
maybe they're not lying, let's go back and look, But no,
every freaking time they're lying. So it builds up and
it gets old, and thank god I have this medium,
thank god I have this podcast so I can get
it off my chest because that's what I do. It's
what I'm doing right now. Ah Okay, okay, man, okay.
So their excuse is they perceived the ICE tactics as

(07:53):
being harsh and terror inducing, as if arresting criminals is
supposed to be gentle and solid often and you ask
them nicely if they'd come, excuse me, criminal, excuse me,
if you're done raping and burning up tax dollars and
outstaying you're welcome, would you mind going back? Now? If

(08:14):
you watch a lot of mainstream media, you would hear
that they were protesting Donald Trump's deployment of the National
Guard to La.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
No.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
But why would anyone deploy the national Guard if nothing
but peace was there? The answer is they wouldn't. But
the mainstream media is telling you this the exact same
time as they're showing you violent mobs behind them, dozens
of cars on fire, firebombs, and all the police cars
that are being destroyed by giant rocks as they drove

(08:45):
under an overpass, and then as they're disabled, they're being
set on fire but I'm here to tell you most
were out there rioting just to be rioting, because, as
they say, La is a soul grave and you pretty
much have to be uber rich or uber dumb to
live there. And that's where we're at. The truth is,

(09:07):
rioters took to the streets, blocking freeways and setting police
cars and self driving cars on fire, while law enforcement
responded with tear gas and rubber bullets and were overwhelmed
by the protesters violence. And that is exactly why you
send National Guard troops. Now, I noticed for the first

(09:28):
day and a half the media really didn't want to
report the police cars on fire and destroyed, as they
were trying to make a deal, a big deal about
the Weimo cars, the self driving cars. I don't know
what that was about. See that. I guess that the
police cars and everything would have been would have looked
bad on the protesters, but the Weimo cars don't. I thought,

(09:50):
there's ah okay. But I got a couple photos of
police cruisers on fire before they started showing it on
mainstream media, and I posted them the social media because
mainstream media hesitated, I guess for some reason. But hours
after I did, there was no hiding any of it anymore,
as there was not a shot to be had in
Los Angeles that hadn't become out of control, and they

(10:13):
were setting everything on fire. I saw idiots, just idiots,
yanking on street signs back and forth, trying to rip
it out of the concrete. Who does that? Why? Why?
What does that? What's that do? Okay? Demonstrations continued with
protesters targeting federal buildings and detention centers. And you know

(10:37):
what Governor Gavin Newsom was upset about. He was upset
that Trump didn't ask him first before sending Guard troops.
He wasn't upset whatsoever that his state is a refuge
for violent, criminal illegal aliens, or La County can't fight fires,
or that citizens are responsible for billions of dollars in

(10:59):
days images and continue to rack up those damages. As
he was making statements, No, he wasn't. He was hurt
because no one asked him before sending the National Guard. Well,
maybe no one asked you because your reputation is you
let your state deteriorate and burn and do absolutely nothing
about it, year after year after year, news cycle after

(11:22):
news cycle after news cycle. Why it's simple, You're a
terrible governor. You can't govern do some. California, especially LA,
is known for several things now homelessness, fires and riots.
He used to think of Californian and imagine the Hollywood

(11:43):
Sign and Hollywood stars and the music and the freedom
and the sunshine. Now it's mental illness, drug use, and
police cars on fire. Five years ago, Gavin Newsom proposed
a plan to end homelessness. It was immediately criticized. And
now the homelessness that's the state is more than double

(12:05):
the national rate of twenty three homeless people per ten thousand.
California congratulations sits at forty eight. California accounts for twenty
four percent of the nation's homeless. Good job, and you
can go alone and see all these keyboard warriors saying

(12:30):
the same thing, is this what you voted for? When
they show the rioting and the fires and the police
cars gutted and my answers, no, I did not vote
for riots and police cars on by her, dummy. I
did vote for basic law enforcement and basic border enforcement.

(12:51):
I did vote for that. Yeah, yes I did. But
that's not the spectacle. The spectacle and the violence are
all by the LA rioters. So let me ask them,
is twenty four percent of the entire country's homelessness. What
you voted for are stupid traffic laws and the decay

(13:15):
on on your list of demands, acres and acres of
homeless camps if they haven't been caught fire yet. Are
you satisfied by this? Is that Governor Newsoman Mayor Bass
working on your behalf. Let's see what these leaders in

(13:36):
quotes are saying. Starting from the very bottom, Kamala Harris
had to say over the weekend. It is part of
the Trump administration's agenda to spread panic and division, is it, Kamala?
How do they benefit from panic? And what do they
get out of division? We're divided enough on our own.
Thank you. And that's a real dumb thing to say.

(13:59):
Put on the pile of all the dumb things you've said, Thanks, Kamala. Okay,
so she's against basic law and border enforcement. Okay, it's
on the record. Thank you. I'll tell you who should care.
La Mayor Karen Bass. You may remember her from when
she was on a little trip to Africa as county burned,

(14:22):
and then you may remember her blaming La County Fire
Chief Christian Crowley for the destruction, even though Crowley had
been asking and begging for more resources and repairs for months.
Mayor bass says, what you are seeing in Los Angeles
chaos that is provoked by the administration end quote. Is

(14:43):
it you think ICE arresting illegals caused chaos? Or is
it your very own LA citizens burning their own city
and destroying their own resources that might be causing the chaos? Also,
in all of her wisdom, she went on to say
this a CNN yesterday.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Let's go live now, the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen bass Hi.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Mayor. Oh that cough that must have been from all
the smoke she inhaled, as her county burns to the
ground just about every damn year.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Let's go live now, the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen. Let's
go live now, the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen bass Hi, Mayor,
thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Hi, you're police force.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
I know how busy you are preparing for the hours ahead.
What are you expecting on that front?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Well, I just have to say that if you dial
back time and go to Friday, if immigration raids had
not happened here, we would not have the disorder that
went on last night. I will tell you that it
is peaceful now, but we do not know where and when.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
The next raids will be.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
That is the concern because people in the city have
a rapid restimponse network. If they see ice, they go
out and they protest, and so it's just a recipe
for pandemonium that is completely unnecessary. Nothing was happening here.
Los Angeles was peaceful before Friday. When we find out

(16:17):
when and where the other raids are going to happen,
that will determine how the police respond.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Okay, okay, oh, the mayor, everyone the mayor. So basically
she said it was fine. All the criminals that I mayor,
over all the criminals, the thousands of criminals, Well, they
were calm until you know, law enforcement got there to

(16:44):
take some of the criminals and that upset the criminals.
So now the criminals are on the streets burning the
entire county down. And I don't care because that's not
her fault. I don't know what she's saying there, but
she doesn't sound very mayoral. She sounds like a moron
and an idiot, probably because she's a moron and an idiot.

(17:05):
I'm I suppose you see that's the problem. What she
just say. Criminality and illegality is embedded in how the
left and most Democrats operate daily, so much so that
they can't function and they burned down without criminality and
illegality taking place. You understand. Do you understand that she

(17:30):
said everything was fine until we started messing with the criminals,
and now the criminals are out there and it's somebody
else's fault, you see, not her fault. Let's hear what
the governor. There has to be some shining light. Governor
Gavin Newsom Moron says, these are acts of a dictator,

(17:50):
not a president. But what is he talking about? Basic
law enforcement? You couldn't handle basic law enforcement as a governor,
so someone had to step in, you know, an adult,
because it would make more sense if they were, you know,
referring to the riots. You know, I just don't understand.

(18:11):
Oh and that wasn't all he had to say. He
got Mauthy on a little local news bit and if
you go watch it, it's obviously rehearsed in a setup
interview on Sunday. Have a listen, Cavin Newsom.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Tom Home and the borders are said to me yesterday,
Moron did not rule out literally arresting you, nor mayor
Bass if you interfere in his life.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yet he's a tough guy.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me.
But you know what, let your hands off four year
old girls that are trying to get educated. Put your
hands off. These poor people are just trying to get
live their lives. Man trying to live their lives, paying
their tax has been here ten years. The fear, the horror,
the hell is this guy come after me?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Arrest me.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
Let's just get it over with. Tough guy. You know,
I don't give a damn, but I care about my community.
I care about this community.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
The hell are they doing?

Speaker 6 (19:06):
These guys need to grow up, They need to stop,
and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to
be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
So Tom arrests me. Let's go. Moron who talks like that?
He knows a tough guy. He knows where to find me.
Who talks like that in real life? No one morons
do Morons who don't participate in real life, and they
only repeat things that they've heard in movies and stuff
like that. And did you hear the clue on why

(19:36):
he's okay with all the illegal immigrants. He had to
throw in these are people that pay taxes. So he's saying,
I don't care what they do. I don't care that
they're here absolutely illegally, and I don't care that they
commit crimes while they're here undetected, because they pay taxes,
they give me money. That is that what it is,
is that what it's about, Like paying taxes is a

(19:59):
get out out of jail free card or I do
what I want card. Absolutely not. That's not what taxes are.
And you know what he's saying, he doesn't care as
long as they him and mayor Bass, as long as
all these people pay their taxes, as long as they
give money to the government for them to divvy out
to themselves, they're cool with it. Now. One mention, uh

(20:20):
about either one of them, about any laws being broken
or the illegality of these people just being there illegally,
you know, not a mention, but uh, he's calling out
Tom Homan. Okay, And you don't think Homan wasn't gonna respond.
He did on Fox Boards our time.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
Homan joins us. Now, so, Tom, you've been leading these operations,
and so instead of criticizing the people that are attacking
are agents. You got Gavin Newsom who has called for
you to arrest them, and you got Maxine Waters.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Who is going after the National Guard. What has the mayor?
What is the governor? What have any of them done
to stop the riots? Essentially nothing? What does that tell you?
That tells you they're okay with violent riots that destroy
their county just to make a point about the current administration.

(21:20):
You know, they refuse to do anything better than the
current administration. They just want to sit there and say
the current administration is no good. And look what they've done.
Even Representative Maxine Waters washed up on the shores of
La to literally yell at National Guard troops as they
stood there peacefully protecting a detention center. This after she

(21:43):
was walked to the door and demanded that she be
let in by congressional authority, and that door was shut
on her. By the way, he can't go watch that video.
It's funny she had no business being in there, But
also what was she going to do when she got
in there? You know what, there's just this is all show.
This is showmanship. They're all fake and liars. But then

(22:05):
when she couldn't get in made her mad. So she
stood there to address the National Guard, who quite frankly,
couldn't have cared less. What are you gonna do.

Speaker 8 (22:14):
You're gonna shoot some kids, it's a friend of you,
is what.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
You're gonna shoot an elect shop?

Speaker 8 (22:20):
If you shoot them, you better shoot straight.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't know why you're in my city.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
You did.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
The governor was like, contacted.

Speaker 8 (22:30):
This is Trump and his outrageous attempt to not only
talk at our sanctuary city, but to frighten us and
intimidate up. I said, I don't know that none of
you will use those guns to shoot anybody. There's no
reason to shoot anybody. Don't allow them.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
To make your service and killing me. We don't do it.

Speaker 9 (23:01):
Don't shoot.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Moron, moron? These are these are the National Guard troops, Uh,
probably volunteers or you know what I mean. These these guys,
that's wasn't their idea. They're just they're just doing as
they're told as they should, and they weren't threatening to
shoot anybody. That's part of being a soldiers to have

(23:28):
a gun. That was all she would rather yell at
someone serving their country, serving their state, you know, putting
themselves in harm's way for something that probably doesn't affect them,
you know, locally, she would rather She's fine with talking
down to them and yelling at them in public over

(23:51):
just being truthful and admitting there's no governance, there's no mayor,
there's no authority. LA does what it wants. They're all
fine with as long as they keep making money. As
long as everyone keeps paying their taxes and it funnels
to them, they're fine with it. And she would rather
do that humiliate those people, those troops, those those men

(24:12):
and women that you know, they were probably having fun
one day and then they got called out to go
do this bull crap. You know, they don't want to
be there anymore than anybody else does. But she was
okay with belittling them, yelling at them in public, just
for an agenda and a narrative and to get on TV.
It was her camera, I believe. I don't think like

(24:34):
the news was there. It's just it's so horrible. But
I'm sure Maxine Waters feels anything about her would be,
you know, better than talking about her twenty twenty campaign
committee Citizens for Waters being investigated by the Thorough Lection Commission.
You know, I'm sure, violating campaign financial laws. On June second,

(24:56):
the FEC announced that the campaign agreed to pay US
sixty eight thousand dollars civil fine to settle the matter
without admitting guilt to avoid a court case. Hear me,
they agreed to settle without admitting guilt. That means they're
most likely guilty. But if they pay this money, then

(25:17):
they don't have to say they're guilty, and no one
has to go to court. You understand, because if you're innocent,
you don't just settle. You settle to get a better
deal because you're guilty. The violations included inaccurate reporting. The
campaign understated receipts by two hundred and sixty two thousand

(25:37):
dollars and disbursements by two hundred and fifty six thousand
dollars in twenty twenty. Excessive contributions. The committee accepted nineteen
thousand dollars in contributions from seven individuals, exceeding two thy
eight hundred dollars per person. That's the limit that exceeded
that okay, the prohibited cash disperse FO cash payments totaling

(26:02):
seven thousand dollars each over one hundred dollars were made
to get out the vote canvassers violating FEC rules limiting
cash dispersements. The campaign attributed this to COVID nineteen related
difficulties in processing checks. I didn't know that check processing
got COVID nineteen. Bullshit. The campaign's attorney, Leilani Beaver, okay,

(26:27):
sounds like a car team character, stated the errors were
not will for or purposeful, citing staffing issues. Yeah, the issue.
Your staff sucks and are dishonest, and the pandemic. Get out.
Stop blaming shit on the pandemic. That's crazy. The FEC
unanimously approved the fine, of course they did. There's a

(26:48):
lot of money, and the campaign agreed to send its
treasurer to a training program. Californians, these people aren't there
for your state, you guys. They sure as hell haven't
been there for La So California. I ask you, are
you okay with them leading this way? Do nothing and

(27:12):
expect more of the same, Californians. If you're tired of
the riots and the rebuilding, and the fires, and the
homelessness and the trash on the freeways, and the bureaucracy
that is California and all the unrest, get rid of them.
Get rid of Newsom, get rid of Mayor Bass, Stop

(27:34):
letting Maxine Waters represent you. It's up to you. It
still is. Get someone else in there California because the
rest of the country we missed the old California. And
by the way, this stuff in LA just supports everything
else we already know. First, always short attention spans. Seems

(27:59):
like yesterday all those drones were going to kill us
all on the East Coast. And second, politicians adapt. They
may hate something today but love it tomorrow, or the
other way around. Like you may be off for something
one day and then be against it the next just
because Donald Trump likes it, say, for instance, Hillary Clinton

(28:21):
in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 10 (28:23):
So as president, I will stand up to China and
anyone else who tries to take advantage of American workers
and companies. And I'm going to ramp up enforcement by
appointing for the first time a Chief Trade Prosecutor. I
will triple the number of enforcement officers. And when countries

(28:46):
break the rules, we won't hesitate to impose targeted tariffs.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Huh sounds familiar. So what do we learn over and
over again? They're all fake and it's all fake, just
like we keep finding out little by little about COVID
and the vaccine and the mandates. The pandemic was fake,

(29:15):
the tests were fake. The mask science was fake for sure.
The social distancing was fake. The vaccine science was fake.
The news was fake. The CDC and FDA were fake.
The government's messaging was fake. The twenty twenty elections were fake.
Climate science is fake. It's all fake. Remember that, but

(29:39):
especially when you watch the news and try to figure
out what's going on in places like La Okay, it's
all fake. You know when it all went to crap?
When when I think something broke and some sort of
veil was lifted ever so slightly a little bit, but

(30:00):
some noticed and some never forgot. I think it was
September eleventh, and the conspiracy around, all the conspiracies around it,
and it's not over. Harvey Levin is behind a noon
documentary called Exposing the Nine to eleven cover Up. TMZ
investigates the Fifth Plane. But you can just search the

(30:25):
Fifth Plane and you'll find it. It's available for free
on YouTube. And if you don't know, Harvey Levin isn't
an American television producer, lawyer, legal analyst and celebrity reporter
best known for his founding of celebrity news website TMZ
and the host of TMZ on TV. TMZ Investigation raises

(30:47):
serious questions was there a fifth plane targeted by hijackers?
Hijackers on nine to eleven, the flight attendance and pilot
aboard United Flight twenty three believe they were indeed tar
United twenty three seven sixty seven aircraft was scheduled to
depart JFK at nine am on that day, bound for

(31:08):
LA on that morning. Here is Livin h followed by
a short trailer for the documentary.

Speaker 11 (31:16):
When I was in college many many years ago, there
was a student at the school who was really good
friends of mine. Her name was Barbara Brocki.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Barbara.

Speaker 11 (31:26):
When she graduated, she became a flight attendant for United Airlines,
and around two thousand and two or two thousand and
three I had dinner with her many many years after
we graduated, and she told me a story about a
flight that she took up that was supposed to go

(31:48):
from New York to Los Angeles, who was United Airlines
Flight twenty three. And she started telling me about people
who were on this plane in first class and how
she was so suspicious of them, as were the other
flight attendants and the pilot, and it became a thing.

(32:10):
And she tells me this story that she believed they
were going to be the fifth plane that almost took
off but was sidelined when the airport was shut down
just a minute or two before it was going to
take off. And I heard it and I thought, wow,
that's a crazy story. But at the time there was
nothing I could do with it. So I'd been thinking

(32:32):
about it for all these years, and I decided a
couple of years ago, I'm going to do this story
because it was so incredible. And we ended up getting
the pilot and other flight attendants and the dispatcher and
other people. I am telling you, you watch this documentary,

(32:53):
and I don't think you're going to have any doubt.
United Flight twenty three was supposed to be a fifth plight.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
As we deplaned, we made sure laboratories were clear, every
row was clear. There was not a person left on
that plane.

Speaker 12 (33:18):
All I saw was a United mechanic waiting for me.
And when I opened the door, he says, all right, guys,
you'll have to get off the airplane. I've been ordered
to lock up the airplane. So we did just that.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
People on the ground, baggage people or somebody that worked
on on the ground, there saw people running in the aircraft.

Speaker 12 (33:44):
I now believe that it is more likely than not
that we were the fifth airplane.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
The theory, as you heard suggest this flight, scheduled to
depart from New York JFK Airport to LA was targeted
by hijackers, hijackers who fled when the plane was ordered
back to the gate after the attacks on the World
Trade Center. Some of the key points fueling the theory

(34:20):
suspicious passengers. Flight crew members, including pilot Tom Manelo and
flight attendant Sandy Thorgren, reported that several passengers described as
young Arab men in first class acted agitated when the
flight was delayed and left the plane when it returned
to the terminal. Thorn Grinn claimed that there were six

(34:41):
suspicious passengers. There were box cutters similar to those used
in the nine to eleven hijackings reportedly found in the
backseat pocket on a nearby plane. Doesn't sound like a
big deal. Wrong plane, Well, I think it was the
wrong plane. It was a tail number close to flight
twenty threes. Flight twenty three's tail number was six zero

(35:02):
zero one. The box cutters were found on six zero
zero two, just one number off. Some crew members speculated
that they were mistakenly placed on the wrong plane by
an undercave cover operative. Additionally, an open floor hatch and
the electronics compartment of flight twenty three was discovered after evacuation,

(35:23):
raising suspicions of someone attempting to remove evidence. There were
more crew accounts. The flight crew was interviewed by the FBI,
but the findings were never publicly disclosed. The pilot and
crew later expressed belief, especially after a twenty twenty three
TMZ documentary, that their plane was indeed targeted. Some crew

(35:44):
members were so shaken they never flew professionally again. Now officially,
the nine to eleven Commission report does not mention United
Flight twenty three or a fifth plane, and no arrest
related to the flat were confirmed. The absence of a
official acknowledgment fuel speculation of a cover up.

Speaker 12 (36:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
There are skeptics, you guys. There are critics, of course,
and they argue the evidence was circumstantial and lacks substance.
Uh substantation. For instance, a Reddit discussion notes inconsistency such
as claims of a hijacker and a burka or bringing
a child, which seems implausible. Uh. Box cutters were not

(36:27):
prohibited on planes at the time. That one really doesn't
count to me. So their presence may not indicate a plot,
but if there were two or three of them in
one pocket, that's something, you know, I don't know, I
don't know, whatever. Whatever. Watch watch the documentary. Uh. Sandy

(36:48):
Uh one of the flight attendants. Uh. She she has
she talks, She talks mostly in the in the documentary. UH.
And she states she definitely thinks Flight twenty three was
the fifth plane. The head flight attendant she speaks in
the documentary, but she didn't want to be shown on cameras,
so take it for what it's worth. But there's no

(37:10):
disputing that is her. Uh. She she actually got in
a dispute with the first class passengers that were acting
suspicious over food, like they didn't want food. They were
just anxious to get up in the air and they
didn't want food. It was it was, It was weird,
and it actually led to an interaction you know about it.
And she actually told the pilot that I just had

(37:32):
a weird interaction with these people and I think something's up,
so she actually let the pilot know about it. Uh,
I don't know, I don't know. Uh. Thorn Grin also
observed a passenger and business class who was sweating profusely
despite wearing a light T shirt and a cool cabin.
Planes always got air blown on your face, and it's

(37:53):
always kind of cold in there. Uh. The individual appeared
highly nervous, which she reported to the FBI a suspicious
This behavior contrasted what was otherwise normal, you know, described
by the pilot Manila, when everybody was in a good
mood before the grounding order, the open floor hatch. I
don't want to say anything else about it because it's

(38:13):
a it's a it's a almost a chilling moment in
the in the documentary, I don't want to say much
about that. I'll set I'm not gonna say anything else
with box cutters. I'm actually not gonna say anything else
about it because I want you to watch the damn thing.

Speaker 12 (38:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
I enjoyed it. It was short, very compelling, as in
I absolutely believe the flight twenty three was the fifth plane.
I totally buy it. You should watch this thing, uh nice,
because I believe it came in under forty minutes long.

(38:52):
I remember I should have looked for I don't like
making things up, but I think it was thirty nine
minutes in some seconds long. It's good, man, it's good.
And it's available on YouTube and its entirety for free.
Just search for the fifth plane. It's the TMZ one.
Just check it out. And this all, this, the fifth
Plane stacks well right next to the fact that the

(39:13):
w World Trade Center Building seven collaps that day for
absolutely no reason. And I'm always gonna bring this up.
The conspiracy theory surrounding the collapse of Building seven center
on claims that the building was intentionally demolished, rather than
collapsing due to fire and debris damage. As concluded by
official investigations, World Trade Center seven was a forty seven

(39:35):
story skyscraper, not hit by a plane, guys, but collapse
for no reason at five twenty pm, about seven hours
after the twin towers fell. Crazy crazy. This has been
the main, main, wildest, craziest conspiracy thing that I get
hung up on is this building. Because there's footage of it.

(39:56):
Everything's fine, it's they're fine, it's not even on fire
or anything. And also that is false. Uh, Many conspiracy theorists,
including physicist Stephen Jones, architect Richard Gage, and theologian David
Ray Griffin, argued that WT seven was brought down by
pre installed explosives or incendiaries, resembling a controlled demolition, and

(40:19):
it did. They point to the building's rapid symmetrical collapse
into its own footprint, which they say mimics professional demolitions,
just like the Twin Towers video show. World Trade Center
seven collapsing about seven seconds with a near free fall speed,
which theorists claim is impossible without explosives because everything would

(40:40):
be collapsing in itself. Steel meets more, steal more, concrete
meets meets meets all the way down just doesn't happen
naturally like that. The presence of thermitic material, allegedly some
sort of thermite and dust samples suggested to indicate explosives,
though official reports, of course, can contribute this to primer

(41:03):
paint or other materials. Sure horizontal puffs of smoke during
the collapse interpreted as evidence of explosive charges, although it's
explained by officials as air pressure from collapsing floors. And
I kind of believe that. I think it is air
pressure from the collapsing floors. If you watch it, you

(41:23):
understand AH. Twenty nineteen University Alaska Fairbanks study led by
Jay Leroy Holsey and funded by architects and engineers for
nine to eleven truth concluded that fire could not have
caused the collapse and suggested a near simultaneous failure of

(41:43):
every column, implying an alternate cause like demolition. And don't
forget a BBC News report from that day where journalist
Jane's Standley announced World Trade Center's collapse at four fifty
five four PM. It's fine, except for it's about twenty

(42:04):
six minutes before it actually fell, with the building visible
in the background. This ascided as evidence of a scripted
event or some kind of fore knowledge. Larry Silverstein's pullet
comment Larry Silverstein is ah, he was like the he

(42:27):
owned the building or part owner whatever. But his claim
In a two thousand and two PBS documentary World Trade Center, Yeah, leaseholder,
Larry Silverstein said quote, I said, we've had such terrible
loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is
pull it. And they made that decision to pull, and
we watched the building collapse. End quote theorist interpret pull

(42:51):
it as a demolition term, suggesting intentional destruction. Uh. Some
propose seven was demolished to destroy evidence of corporate fraud
or government operation, as it housed offices of the CIA,
Secret Service and Department of Defense. And there's also, of course,

(43:15):
always conspiracy of government or insider involvement. Some alleged seven's
collapse as part of a false flag operation by the
CIA mosadem sixteen six really or the Bush administration to
justify wars in the Middle East remember past the Patriot Act,
or benefit financial elits like Silverstein and Bakers some claim

(43:43):
some claims include destroying files and WT seven related to
investigations or cover up broader conspiracy involving the Twin Towers.
All of that, all of it, all the theories, in
the conspiracies, and the coincidence is the alleged cover ups
well in things. Sure, we don't trust our government like

(44:03):
we used to ever since that day, and it's a
damn shame. And now it's time for sports. At the
nineteen seventy six Montreal Olympics, British hurdler Alan Pascal tripped

(44:24):
during a race and ripped his shorts, exposing himself to
seventy thousand spectators. He finished the race barely covering himself
and later laughed it off, saying, quote, at least I
gave the crowd something to remember, end quote. And that
is going to do it for this we heard, all right.

(44:45):
Thanks now back to you, Craig Sure. And now this
week's quote of the week. This week's quote of the
week is Bye Maya Angelou. She was an American poet, memorist, memoirst,
civil rights activist. Born Marguerite Annie Johnson in Saint Louis, Missouri,

(45:08):
she is best known for a groundbreaking autobiography, I Know
Why the Caged Bird Sings from nineteen sixty nine, which
chronicles her early life experiences with racism and personal resilience.
The book was one of the first by an African
American woman to gain widespread acclaim. And I know that
that book set next to my mother for many years,

(45:30):
and she absolutely loved Angelou and had that book on
one of the side tables in the living room for
years and years. And the quote from my Angelou is
the following quote. You may encounter many defeats, but you
must not be defeated. And that's going to do for

(45:53):
Quote of the Week and now stump sugar. This week sugar,
it's another TV related thing, you guys. I know, I know,
I know, I've been hitting TV hard lately, documentaries and whatnot.
But if it wasn't good, I wouldn't be telling you

(46:15):
about it. And it's new and I want you to
keep up with the new good stuff that I found
for you. This week's sugar is a new series available
on HBO and it's called The Pit. Warning, Jack, what

(46:36):
are you doing here working? And if you jump on
my shift? That's just rude.

Speaker 9 (46:43):
Man hopeful, I've never worn of your patience.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
It makes two of us my friends. Hey, what's a
good word for the fuck? Fifty two in the waiting
room and it's a ninety and seven.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
We're probably working a shift.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
By the way, I'm almost like Santa Versary of doctor
Adamson stuff.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
We'll have this mess.

Speaker 12 (47:05):
I like a little challenge every now and then.

Speaker 9 (47:08):
We've got some new faces with us today.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Hi, come on over.

Speaker 12 (47:10):
I'm so happy to be here.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Talk to me at the end of the day, Pops
production not student down.

Speaker 9 (47:19):
Welcome to the pit.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Let's go save some lives. So still, it's only eighty
fourteen minus. You've lost a lot of blood. You need
to go to surgery right away. I'm gonna die, not
now that I'm here. I'm in good, well done, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
It's always this busy.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
No, it's a lot bus here. There's a nursing shortage
across the country. That is bullshit.

Speaker 9 (47:40):
If you paid them a living wage, they line up
to work here.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Other hospitals are managing this crisis.

Speaker 6 (47:45):
Either step up or step aside.

Speaker 12 (47:47):
Are you okay?

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Why wouldn't I be?

Speaker 10 (47:50):
It's five years ago today you can't block your feeling
the spar.

Speaker 9 (47:57):
You'd be surprised.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
That's go.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Let's go whole compression stuff. Are we ready to call this?

Speaker 9 (48:14):
One hundred and fifty thousand people die every day in
the world today. You got one of them, and we're
gonna get more of them before the ship is over?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Is here one drama now? Or of morphine? I'm gonna
stop the bleeding.

Speaker 9 (48:27):
You learn to accept the fine balance you find balance, No,
not even close.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
The Pit is a medical drama series streaming on Max
and HBO, though it's part of the Warner Brothers Discovery family.
It premierre January of this year and follows the staff
of the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center during a single grueling,
fifteen hour shift in an emergency room. Each of the
fifteen episodes covers one hour in real time, blending high

(49:09):
stakes medical cases with personal and professional challenges faced by
the healthcare workers in the pit. The show stars Noah
Wiley as doctor Michael Robbie Rabinovich, the senior attending physician,
alongside a diverse ensemble including Tracy Eiffelcorps, Patrick Ball, and others.

(49:32):
Created by our Scott Gimmel and produced by John Wells,
both er veterans, it's noted for its realistic depiction of
the er, drawing praise from medical professionals for its athenes authenticity,
especially in portraying post COVID healthcare struggles what those would be.

(49:53):
The series tackles issues like hospital politics, understaffing, and social
topics such as mass shootings and wait bias, though some
criticize its occasional heavy handed social commentary. I'm not even
one of those persons, you guys. It's not that deep.
It's been a critical and audience hit, with a ninety
five percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and a second season has

(50:15):
already green lit for January of next year, set during
a fourth of July shift. You can watch it on
Max in the US, Crave in Canada, or Binge in Australia.
For some reason, it's not available yet in the UK.
And this show's a hit with me. You guys think
modern day er, and I know that's too on the

(50:36):
nose and of course er, but uh, what else are
you going to compare it to? You? You know, there's
been other medical dramas, but this one's good. It's fast
paced and about as accurate as you can get without
filming the real thing. Noah Wiley is absolutely the star
and shines with every episode. He plays the senior attending

(50:57):
physician at a time, or a group of new medical
residents arrived to do their residency. It's chaotic, it's fast,
it's accurate, and it's a great TV series. I haven't
even finished the entire first season and I'm already excited
for the second. And boy, you before you say it,

(51:17):
I'm not complaining, but it's a big butt. I keep
noticing something in the script, and my stupid pee brain
always gets hung up on little things like this. It
seems like every five minutes or less of every single episode,
someone is walking up to someone else and asking if

(51:38):
they are okay, okay? Why wouldn't I be just like that?
I mean, it's a lot. Maybe that's realistic. I mean,
everything happens fast and hard in the er and there's
literally no time to decompress in between trauma. And this
doesn't really affect the show, I promise you. And I

(51:59):
know I'm being picky and quirky weird, and that's me.
Most probably wouldn't notice. You're welcome. Now you're going to
because I've ruined it. But I'm not most, and I
noticed it. That's all. That's all I'm saying. That's all
I'm saying. The show is called The Pit. It's on
HBO and Max. It stars Noel Wiley, and it's fantastic,
especially if you like hospital dramas. And that's why it's

(52:23):
this week's sugar and that, ladies and gentlemen. Is it
for episode one eighty nine. Thank you, guys, thank you
so much for listening watching whatever you know? You know
what I say. Every Tuesday six thirty pm Central Standard time,
I try to anyway earlier on my Rumble channel and

(52:44):
video you can sit and watch me compose this thing
at my computer desk, and I have gizmos and gadgets
in front of me in a microphone that sometimes I
