Trump BETRAYED, Israeli FLIP, Bitcoin MOON | Meet Kevin Show [E.12]

hey everyone welcome back to another

episode of the me Kevin show today we

got to talk about the Bitcoin ETF near

approval we got to talk about Trump

getting actually a gag order and we knew

that one but he got fined for it finally

uh we'll see what we think about that

did he deserve it or not Israel

Palestine updates what's going on with

the hostages and oil deliveries and why

are news agencies taking their live

blogs down what's happening we'll talk

about that we'll also talk about some

free speech issues Tesla and more let's

get into it uh first really finding it

interesting

deliver uh gets 10,000 job applications

a week that's the food delivery service

based out of the United Kingdom what's

happening are people just trying to get

more money or or are people out of money

are people like I I got extra time I

mean you know we always talk about this

it's like if you sleep 8 hours a day you

got an extra like 114 hours a week what

are you do at that time you know you got

a 40 hour a week job got plenty to drive

and do some deliveries what do you think

is this is this tough Economic Times got

to fill those Pockets up again it could

be going back to school I know a lot lot

of students like to do the delivery

things with their extra time CU they

can't have a full-time job and they

can't necessarily commit to a part-time

job hours so it's like the late night

deliveries and things like that so now

that we're back in the swing of school

season um maybe now we're getting closer

to the holidays people like I'm going to

earn some extra cash for Christmas for

my family or whatever it's a great idea

I didn't even think about that I

remember when I went to high school I

had to request like a special 4-Hour

shift schedule because you know after

school like how much time do you

actually have you want to work but it's

hard to here you make your own hours

kind of like with Uber or what ever

that's really interesting okay that's

that's a good point could be that so

back to school what do you think miky

yeah that's actually a really good point

cuz I was going to say it's usually not

someone's first job like no one's

wanting to to work at food delivery as

like their priority it's usually like

well I'll do this until I find something

else get some extra money and do this as

a bridge you know American Express I

read their earnings call but they just

reported on Friday uh they're talking

about consumer spending specifically

from their Millennial and gen Z cohort

but consumer spending up 9% in the US

year-over-year inflation on average

average this year has been like what 4

and a half 5% so you still have this

positive like 4 and A2 4ish per of of

spending increase that's happening is

that because people are working for

deliver I guess you're Uber Eats or

something yeah no it it could totally I

know a lot of my friends do it when they

are especially in school most of my

college friends do some sort of side gig

whether it be grocery delivery or um

grocery delivery tends to be more

profitable than food delivery and it's

less fickle why just because it's like

bigger order bigger price tickets

instead of like a $40 Panda Express

order you're getting $150 grocery from a

mom that has two kids that can't leave

the house and then they're thinking 10

or 20% tip on obviously a higher value

item ah interesting and those grocery

ones I think there's probably a lot less

uh uh order complaining in grocery like

I I don't get me wrong I bet if you do a

$150 order there's probably a you know

10 bucks that gets aside for every order

for just mess ups but you mess up

somebody's dinner it's like like all or

nothing man yeah cuz they are hungry and

cranky already yeah I'm hungry you

forgot the sauce all $40 refund request

yeah I've seen it I've seen it yeah yeah

okay good so what do we got it looks

like oh we're starting off here with Jim

Jordan what happened here he lost again

that's a surprise is he is Kevin

McCarthy going to come back is that

would that even remotely be a

possibility CU it even though it seems

like people love to hate him he was the

one person that actually got the votes

and apparently out of these other 217

people there's just nobody in the

Republican house that could lead this

group I think the Dems messed up a

little bit it was kind of a weird Flex

that they did and uh now that everyone's

suffering for it that's a good point

that's a good point because if you think

about it the Dems had a neutral

Republican speaker yes right and the

Dems control the presidency and the

Senate which means as long as you can

get something done with a neutral guy on

in the house you could slam anything

else you want through the Senate and the

presidency because your one roadblock is

the Republican house but if your

roadblock has a neutral guy in place

great you get a you know Matt Gates or

whatever in nothing's going to get done

you've just lost your your third branch

so to speak and I don't want to confuse

that with branches you know legislative

executive and courts but think of it as

like the three branches of of the

political control even though courts

have gotten politicized uh the three

branches of political control house the

Senate presidency yeah you're right

maybe the Dems just screwed up big time

as because they were frustrated at least

some were saying that you had mcarthy

slamming Democrats on 60 Minutes and

every Democrat watches 60 Minutes every

Sunday that's true so so everybody's

like well we'll show you but that's is

it it's kind of like biting off your

nose to spite your face that's

interesting wow that's a really good

analogy okay so who's going to run this

we have no idea I guess we nobody's

really leading right now eh nobody's

leading but we have well we had nine

candidates as of this weekend and then

yesterday one dropped out I've got the

other eight on my screen if you want to

see their precious little faces let's

see it yeah let's P it up oh there they

are axios they're a good publication I

like them so there they are wow look at

that uh see the problem is I don't know

that any of these people quite Frank

like I think most of the people watching

this video are going to look at this and

go these people are in Congress I don't

I don't even know who they are so like

that's a problem you know when when

you're trying to unite the entire uh uh

Republican party so okay what about

speaking of Republican party what about

the uh the unspoken leader of the

Republican party I heard he just got

fined and some more attorney Drama Oh

yeah unspoken Le Donnie Trump Donnie T

Donnie Trump he had that uh the partial

gag order that we've been talking about

and so uh the the judge was basically

like hey you can't be talking crap about

people in my court because he was saying

that the uh the clerk was like the

girlfriend of was it the judge or

something like that Chuck Schumer oh

Chuck Schumer and so he's like you can't

talk crap about my my court and that's

it so he deleted the I guess it's called

a truth from truth social the post okay

yeah yeah okay uh but it turned out he

never deleted it from his website it was

deep in the Donald J Trump website

and so the judge found out about it on

Thursday uh issued a notice to the

lawyer the lawyer took it down but then

on Friday uh they were talking about it

and basically Trump got fined $55,000

because it was still on the website yeah

wow totally worth it for Trump $5,000

fine I mean like again now now people

are talking about him oh Trump got fined

but you know that $5,000 probably turns

into $500,000 in campaign donations i'

I'd be like find me again hit me again

baby

and she threatened it oh if you do

something like this again we're going to

find you again like the repercussions

are so minor pleas please yeah Trump's

lawyer said this was inadvertent and to

be to their credit I kind of believe

them they were like it was deep in the

website they called it the back pages

like we just didn't know about it sure

so it's not a big of a deal as people

think it's probably like a truth social

feed that posts to their website and and

then maybe it doesn't delete from there

once it pulls it in it doesn't update it

afterwards I I could see sense uh also

interesting uh you had the third uh

actually no this is now the fourth

guilty plea that Atlanta has secured

from former Associates or attorneys of

Donald Trump in the Georgia case uh the

last attorney here now is uh Jenna Ellis

uh she's 38 she just pled guilty uh to

violence she could face up to five years

of probation uh fines they have to do

the they have to five I think it's

$5,000 of fines as well which is a lot

more for an individual person compared

to the Trump campaign uh and then all of

them are basically agreeing to testify

against Donald Trump uh Ellis actually

went as far as saying if I knew then

what I know now I would have declined to

represent Trump what I did not do or

should have done was make sure that the

facts others alleged to be true or false

Back Then basically before she took the

job so kind of trying to distance

herself from hey shouldn't have worked

with them but I did I got stuck you know

it sounds a lot like what's going on in

the S bankman free trial where you have

Carolyn uh arguing that oh you know I

was romantically in love I I fell into

the Trap I was a victim I was convinced

by by his charm or this that or whatever

uh what's really wild is that uh this

fourth attorney uh who just uh pled

guilty actually hit me up a lot during

my campaign for governor really in

California she uh because you know I'm

running against Gavin Nome and I was

getting like all the Republicans from

all angles dming me like oh here's a

story look into this look into this look

into this and it was so hilarious

because people just wanted somebody to

light a fire under Gavin dusome and

they're like Kevin can do it so she's

like hey I'm the former attorney for

Donald Trump like this is such a small

freaking world and she was really nice

in DMS and she'd be like hey you know

here's a story you might look into and

research this that and none of it ever

seemed like pressured or there was like

it just seemed like it's so it almost

feels like if somebody's figh your enemy

Gavin usum then everybody who is also

enemies with Gavin is now your friend

it's really kind of funny in politics

how that is I do think it's only the

third attorney who's pled guilty okay

that's what I third that's what I

thought the third uh but if Bloomberg

here saying State prosecutors in Atlanta

secured a fourth guilty plea so I wonder

if one of them has had like a a double

plea or something like that so I because

I when I read the story this morning as

well I thought it was the third person

so maybe there's a fourth play or

something like that but good claric

there so something to be figured out is

really not messing around with this

Georg is going all the way well this is

a smart way to do it because if I mean

if you think about it if you're going

for like the head and you basically tie

up all of the arms to then fight the

head you know that's the way to do it

but if everyone is United uh together

then it's very hard for a jury to say oh

Donald Trump was at fault when

everybody's like no we did nothing wrong

oh Trump's already backpedaling if you

want to see my screen here this is a

regarding pow which was one of the

attorneys from last week and this is

Trump on Truth social is it fair is is

she the one people say is like the crazy

one with who was always on uh on social

media with uh what was it uh Rudy

Giuliani people always made fun of her

like these are Sydney Powell let me let

me clarify this in case people don't

know the context Sydney Powell was the

one Tucker Carlson called a nut job wow

so so just to clarify on Sydney Powell

when Tucker Carlson calls someone a nut

JW anyway that was from the uh the

transcripts that came out from the uh uh

Fox and Dominion lawsuit anyway let's

see what we got here yeah Trump says

that Powell's one of the millions and

millions of people who thought that you

know the election was rigged but an

interesting point here he goes despite

the fake news reports to the contrary

and without even reaching out to ask the

Trump campaign Miss Powell was not my

attorney and never

was wow it's really interesting because

I found this tweet on X back before he

was banned and he said I look forward to

Mary Giuliani spear Hing spearheading

the legal effort to defend our right to

free and fair elections Rudy Giuliani

Joseph janova Victoria tonsing and

Sydney Powell and there's Jenna Jenna

Ellis a truly great team added to our

wonderful lawyers and representatives

nice that's a good find I mean this

that's a really good find I mean this is

just Trump like everybody like everybody

knows like when he says it's the

greatest thing ever it's the best thing

ever it's all marketing and it's like

what he the sad thing is like you have

to ad MIT that's not very presidential

but but people are like well well

neither is Congress well neither is the

government the way it is and and so you

need somebody like that to go you know

fight the dirty fight so to speak in

dirty ways or whatever ways it takes

it's really interesting if you're Trump

are you starting to worry about how

serious they're taking all like the the

all of his lawyers going down or is he

concerned or thinking it that Donald

Trump uh deep down inside feels that he

is like a martyr that no that no matter

what he is doing the absolute best thing

for the country uh like I I know like

there's part of me that's like he has to

know he has to know when he's he's

saying like he has to know but

I I I think he's gone so far down this

Rabbit Hole of politics that he's

convinced himself that he is running

because you know God wants it the People

Want it whatever it is and and that he's

going to say anything he needs to do to

defend himself now just to get one step

further he's really doing the shield

analogy that we always talk about which

is just like you know you put up the

shield you're going to get attacked and

one foot as long as one foot's going in

front of the other you're winning and I

think that's really what he's doing now

some of that like what you just showed

it it exemplifies flailing right a

little bit you know it's kind of like

it's not targeted he has a a more

incoherent strategy because there's so

many things that weaken his strategy

like that that doesn't look good doesn't

look good for anyone so uh I don't know

I mean what am I missing he's just

adding like we talked about it quite

frequently he's just adding more chaos

to the whole mix it's just like he just

says one thing here and like everybody

pays attention to it then he does

another thing over here and just like

he's never going like he's he's never

quiet that's and that's part of his

attention getting mechanism that's why

he pulls so much ahead of all these

other folks I mean look at like vake had

a had a storm there after the first uh

Republican debate but now you never hear

about him anymore he's he's not the

focus of attention right now it's it's

Trump and it's it's stuff like this that

gets everyone talking about Trump and

not the ideas of people like Pence or or

or VI and here's something really

interesting although it'd be terrible

what's happening with Israel and

Palestine um Biden's been in front of

the camera more than he has been in the

last six months well as he should be and

he should be but like it's kind of a

double-edged short form he's doing his

presidential duties while also running

uh getting ready for his campaign like

everybody's seeing him he's on every

news Outlet Fox CNN you name it he's

there when's the last time you tuned

into a Biden press conference you know

certainly before the Israel thing like

never like they're boring right but

during the Israel oh address to the

nation we got to watch you know yeah

even here in the office like Biden's

talking to everybody TV's on like what's

he going to say about the conflict this

time yeah y yep it's it is interesting I

actually think there uh well I'm

surprised a by Donald Trump's quietness

on the Israel issue uh because it's it's

it's a disaster and I would expect a

little bit more commentary from him but

we're he really focuses a lot on the

election and I think he's purposefully

trying to stay out of this because it's

almost like a lose lose to comment on

these sort of kind of conflicts uh so

that's very interesting on top of the

fact that you've got the Biden

Administration they're really pulling in

the Reigns on Israel on this idea of oh

they definitely need a ground Invasion

how many days in a row has the ground

Invasion been one day away

you know like for the last like two

weeks it's every day it's like oh it's

the invasion's coming it's one day away

I really think you've got the Biden and

there were some great pieces on this as

well but it seems to be a consensus the

consensus now is focus on hostage res uh

uh rescues focus on Aid to the region

and you have an update on Aid right uh

hostages and Aid let's talk about that

yeah let it yeah so they released uh

just this week and they released two

additional hostages and that brings her

total up to four initially they had

released a mother and daughter I think

were American and uh just now they

released two older ladies one was 79 one

was 85 presumably their husbands are

still captured actually do have a video

that I'll pull up here in a second of

one of the

hostages and um who say she was beaten

but then treated well it's interesting

yeah I I wouldn't be surprised if at at

first like I think Israel's response was

so underestimated by Hamas that if

you're Hamas right now and and you see

the destruction that youve basically

been responsible for in the Gaza Strip

you're like we done effed up this is

like which is the point that was the

point Israel was trying to make it's

like you mess with us this is what we're

going to do to you to some extent as

much as I entirely disagree with the

killing of civilians and there's no

justification for that to some extent

the leveling of the Gaza Strip that

you're seeing the destruction you're

seeing is a giant warning sign to all

the surrounding countries too even Iran

it's like you want to mess with Israel

we have all the funding we need from

America because they got the money

printer we got all their weapons and we

will send them all to your doorstep yeah

I think Israel got put in an interesting

predicament where the invasion basically

if they invade hasb is threatening that

they'll attack Israel on the other side

and Israel's like is it really worth an

allout War rather than just a response

they're inciting an entire War not only

in another country but they have to

defend their own country again on the

other side right and then that's where I

think the the purse strings matter a lot

here where it doesn't take much for the

US to say look we'll keep supplying you

bombs and defensive rounds for your iron

dome but if you go for an allout

invasion we're not going to support you

anymore yeah that's all it takes to get

Israel to stop because they don't have

the money to do it themselves in those

to be fair they just don't have the

money the economy is just too small it's

not because they don't want to have the

money or they're they're just phys

they're just literally not capable of

having enough money to fund this without

America so in other words America

controls what happens as usual yeah if

it's not America it's it'd be someone

else it would be China or whoever Russ

that's a really good point and and

that's where you know a lot of Americans

argue why does America have to be the

World Police well would you rather Putin

would you rather China all right that's

a really good point a golden rule a the

person with the gold makes the rules

what

uh didn't there is a rumor that Putin

has body doubles and that he had Cardiac

Arrest yesterday oh uh Sunday night yeah

and and now there's I mean so who was it

it was uh the Sky News I think Sky News

was reporting that via telegram Putin

basically had a cardiac arrest uh in his

bedroom he had a table of food and

drinks uh apparently knocked it over I

think like a hotel cart almost to food

and drinks knocked it over and was

convulsing on the ground his uh guards

heard that came in medical staff on site

resuscitated him guess when you go

cardiac you die and then they

resuscitated him uh you know now now and

then at the same time rumors are coming

out that when Putin goes to events he

has body doubles that go because he's so

afraid of being assassinated I guess the

kremlin's now laughing this off none of

these rumors are confirmed but yeah it

does make you wonder if if this is this

like an attempt to you know slip

something in his food or whatever or but

you have to look at it both ways and or

remember there three there're always

three things three stories there's one

side story The Other Side Story and then

there's the truth and so to some extent

if the Kremlin actually confirms this

and then paints it as like an

assassination attempt or whatever you

could actually in a weird way Galvanize

support for Putin when when you have a

failed assassination attempt people

actually tend to rally and support like

imagine as much as people hate Biden

imagine if there was an assassination

attempt on the president and it was

found out to be another country yeah

it's not the person it's the office

that's what people would get defensive

anybody that cares about their country

it's not the person it's the office yeah

we don't like obviously Joseph Biden is

in the the presidential seat but we

don't necessarily like Joseph Biden

isn't the person we respect it's the

seat that it's the office it's The

Mantel that we respect yeah I mean

that's a great thing analogy or just

statement I mean look at like imagine if

Mexico staged an attempt at

assassination on the presidential office

you know it' be disaster I mean

everybody I feel like even though you

hate people might hate Biden and there

are going to be some people in the

comments like I wish they would you know

cuz that's just the YouTube comment

section but I do think the vast majority

of Americans would start buying American

flags again you know you'd actually

Galvanize the support so that's one

possibility is that maybe there was an

attempted assassination attempt or

something like that uh although usually

you don't get these sort of you know

trying to study you know poisons and

that uh you mean you can get like Fox

Glove or some some uh you know heart

related uh poisons but usually you go

for uh you know like nerve agents or or

or things that basically shut your your

cap ability of breathing down so going

cardiac could have just been a related

health issue yeah uh and and there have

been rumors that he's been falling ill

or or showing him like appearing weaker

he is like 71 years old so it's entirely

possible but uh it is interesting I also

don't know how all of a sudden I got to

Putin uh the cardiac I guess the cardiac

story so you're saying well I'll get to

the video of the hostages but right so

you're saying one one possibility

there's three sides to every truth or to

every story one side is that uh he might

have been it might have been an

assassination attempt right the other

might have just been illness he's

illness he's getting old and the truth

could have been that he happened he

found no he found pran's

coke with hand grenade pins in every

line yeah I I think you I don't know if

you know this the the Kremlin confirmed

this morning that it's all he's fine

okay yeah that he's fine or that that

story never happened uh everything quote

everything is fine with him this is just

another complete hoax and then they went

on to describe the reports of body dou

qu ab and false so notice how they're

saying the body doubles report is absurd

and false but they're not actually

saying the cardiac story is absurd fault

they're just false they're just saying

he's fine he's fine and this is a

complete hoax but like what's a hoax the

assassination or the health or yeah yeah

yeah yeah so there could be something

there that's interesting wording there

they're they're clearly saying the body

double thing is a joke yeah but don't

worry his health is fine okay so was it

last night or two nights ago you know it

is it's very interesting yeah I think we

got to there because we were talking

about like with Israel uh you know do we

does if America's not the World Police

what if it's what if it's Putin or

whatever that that's how we got to that

so going back to Israel then since

clearly I get off on these tangential

discussions uh what's going on yeah so

the two more hostages that were released

uh we still have over 200 hostages as

far as we know so this is just a drop in

the bucket uh but Christian if you want

to throw this on the screen I have this

muted just because the first half is

silent anyway and the second half is

mostly censored uh but this shows the

the two

hostages this is still in Palestine so

this is with uh Hamas around them mhm

yeah that green uh the green bandana is

is uh sort of your and the black uniform

is very sort of the uniform of Hamas H

but yeah I mean this is this is you know

yeah look at this this is all this is

all for the show by the way you know

here's here's a drink uh whatever look

look at her look inside of it like what

is this I don't trust you you see that

that's interesting that they picked

those two people because they're

probably the most frail and most fragile

hostages of everybody and if they for

whatever reason like passed away in the

custody of Hamas then the headlines are

Hamas kills two hostages and then the

war can escalate so if you're Hamas like

I don't want these people dying on my

watch oh yeah let's get them off back up

like 30 seconds if you can oh yeah look

at that see that's perfect but back up

like that look look at his face that or

the hamasa you can't see his face

obviously but but look at how he's

leaning over like he cares yes you see

that this is they picked the most

empathetic Kamas guy they can find look

at his finger off the trigger like he's

a professional or whatever you know like

he's opening up the theack for handing

it to her they got the softest guy ever

uh in Hamas I don't even know if that's

possible if you could suggest that

there's a soft person maybe just another

hostage dressed up

as cuz like how could you ever call like

a terrorist organization like soft right

but but uh yeah I mean this this is I

mean let's call it what it is it's

brilliant marketing it is great

marketing for Hamas because what Hamas

needs to do is go we're not that bad

okay like that

and look at the destruction they've

caused that's be if it if you just

remove one thing if you just remove that

attack on Israel you would not have had

the destruction of the Gaza Strip so

call Israel's response whatever you want

you could agree with it you could

disagree with it you could say they went

too far you could say they didn't do

enough you could whatever you could say

they should have used more diplomacy

whatever had it not been for the first

strike on Israel here which don't get me

wrong there have been plenty other

aggressions you know people like well

they're evicting Palestinians you know

the Israelis are evicting Palestinians

from their homes uh they're encroaching

a land in the West Bank you know they're

oppressing you can make all those

arguments but just in the narrowed

framework of if you just remove the

attack by Hamas the destruction of the

Gaza Strip would not have happened at

least now this time so that's very clear

so this is very clearly hamas's

responsibility and now this this U-turn

of look we're humans too is very

interesting I and I think it's part of

their negotiations because now what you

have is there's this discussion about a

50 hostage release which fell apart

because Hamas wants fuel well no sh like

duh like if you don't have fuel you

can't turn the power on you can't do

anything you can't run your radios you

can't you know send emails you know you

can't send your telegrams which is your

propaganda machine to some extent ENT

right I mean there are and you have to

know this but there are telegram

channels that are just purposefully

dedicated to showing all the Palestinian

civilian injuries and they're terrible

and the deaths and the destruction is

just it's it's so heartbreaking to see

uh but it is that is a form of

propaganda well if you destroy all of

the capability to have cell service or

Internet or whatever can't upload videos

yeah that the first Russia tried to do

for Ukraine was take out their comm's

towers and anything comms related and

that's where Starling came in and kind

of foiled a lot of what Putin was trying

to do y yeah last thing I want to show

on this video if we could throw this

back on the screen uh so like you said a

lot of good marketing he even puts his

arm kind of behind her here to lead her

out and they're saying like are you

ready to go and she's ready to go but

interesting to note she did turn around

and like shake his hand which she didn't

have to at this point she's kind of free

so I mean that's like the thank you the

the final like I appreciate you doing

this you know it's it's that that's

human empathy of like look I get you're

fighting for your cause thank you for

freeing me that's that's a big moment

right there like letting that sink in

for a moment like that that's such a

good observation Mikey that that final

turnaround that did not have to happen

that is really incredible I just want to

see that

here look at that he wasn't even

expecting that yeah yeah she was already

holding someone else's hand being guided

away from the threat and she stopped and

went back you know but that's also isn't

what's that syndrome called stockh

Stockholm syndrome that's exactly what

that is to some exent and you have to

think that there has to be a little bit

of the reverse going on because although

the terrorist organization is terrible

and evil they are still people and that

man probably saw oh she's similar to my

grandmother or she's similar to my

mother and these hostages sit there like

we just want to go home like we have

kids and grandkids we want to take care

of they're probably verbally wearing the

the hostage like the Hamas soldiers

they're wearing them down to motion like

oh these are just people too like this

just an exchange like let's just get

this done well that's like the smart

thing to do if you're ever a hostage is

you make your hostage taker love you and

you know you you have to like like not

necessarily like sexually but like you

you have to be nice and like relatable

and like empathetic to them because if

if you're in there and you're doing the

you know the Jason born which is just

basically like say nothing or like f you

just going to kill you you know they get

pleasure out of it too right so like if

you're ever a hostage it's like you know

you got to say whatever you got to say

to just get your get your out

the organizations might be at War but

there's people these organizations that

do care and that they may not even be

fting because they want to but because

they feel like they have to because it's

a family or whatever or religious thing

I mean that's almost true of every war

too you know it's almost every war I

think you you do get that the human to

human like yeah anyway right wait were

those both US citizens no I think so not

these first two were these two which

were the other day oh okay that's what

I'm confused okay so uh all right what's

next they they are sending humanitarian

Aid yes the trucks went through the 20

trucks 20 trucks uh I I saw they were

carrying supplies like medicine I also

saw uh they're carrying coffins oh which

yeah that's sad um I don't know why

you'd prioritize coffins over like

Diesel and water and stuff like that

well so what's interesting is it I

wonder because I don't believe coffins

are stackable like musical chairs but uh

coffins do have I mean they're they're

kind of an ideal CR if you think about

it for possibly loading up with food and

supplies like instead of using pallets

and plastic wrap that you're just going

to throw away ship I don't know this but

I'm speculating you could put food and

medicine and AK uh in the coffin and uh

you never know man you never know okay

that's a good point though I hadn't

thought about that where it's not just a

waste of space or taking up space

something else there's fill up with

something else yeah uh so you went

warning the Gaza operation could end uh

tomorrow this is the aid operation

without more fuel this is uh this is

just part of the tense negotiation

that's going on right now and has been

for about the last 48 hours and that's

the uh uh the concern that look without

fuel like you can't even run the

hospitals anymore yeah yeah which by the

way that missile strike I mean the Wall

Street Journal did a pretty good piece

on it and showed uh multiple different

angles about three different angles on

that uh rocket it the the at least the

current consensus is that it is a rocket

that uh misfired um

or misfired or or failed or whatever and

uh remember they struck a parking lot

and the reason that was such a big deal

is because people were camping in that

parking lot waiting to get facility

access to the hospital so either way you

you look at

it you know everybody involved in a

conflict ultimately is responsible for

the deaths of civilians and and that's

why the quicker you can end conflicts

the better yeah and from what I found

too it uh it came from Islamic Jihad

which is a separate enti from Hamas even

yeah y y yeah that's another uh another

uh I believe also offshoot of the

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood that's where

Hamas came from as well so uh really

weird if you look back at the history of

these groups how they kind of started

actually in Egypt uh and uh and it's

it's it makes you wonder if if these are

groups that like they didn't make it in

Egypt I don't know I'm just speculating

like right like let's say you have your

your like you're like yo we hate our

Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because we

have no power let's go build our own

base where are we going to go let's go

to Gaza and you build your base over

there and you become a faction over

there so that's how you gain power and

and start gaining notoriety or whatever

which is what everybody's after

interesting enough the New York Times

admitted their error in the hospital

reporting they issued a public apology

for the the lack of reporting and the

lack of facts that they used really can

you read that out uh this is on Politico

um New York Times admits error in Gaza

Hospital report the New York Times

walked back its initial coverage on the

explosion that killed hundreds of

Palestines in at the Gaza Strip hospital

last week saying saying in an editor's

note that the newspaper quote relied too

heavily on claims made by Hamas militant

group soon after a huge blast rocked the

hospital on Tuesday finger pointing over

its new over its source began um they

just keep they just they talk about how

other outlets reporting different things

I mean this this is wild they're

literally saying several outlets here

the times reuer the AP and and like the

times we know there's a tilt uh and all

honestly all of them have some tilt but

Reuters and AP are supposed to be your

news wire services that provide news to

you know the AG the other newspapers so

they can put their tilt on it so the

kind of think about it was like Reuters

and AP they're like your your fact

gatherers on the ground and then they

send the information to the nyt and the

Wall Street Journal CNN Fox and then

they either just republish the story the

way the AP wrote it that's why often

when you read a news article they'll say

per AP or whatever they license the

stories this is how everybody seems to

get the same stories uh or they put

their tilt on it uh so Reuters and

AP publishing also the Hamas Viewpoint

here that's embarrassing yeah that's

embarrassing there there and and so I

mean like we said when we were first

covering it the truth always eventually

comes out H and I thought we said we

would never know we well yeah that's a

good point uh I think Mikey you said

that we might we that is a possibility

ground and you see okay you know here's

the depth of the crater and uh here's

the direction it came from because you

could see the blast or whatever and so

you do get more facts uh and it's uh it

is pretty wild uh to see uh how in the

fog of War you could get information on

on all angles and you just the reality

is will we ever truly always know no

there this could be spin too kind kind

of like prosan like really like grenades

on the plane yeah I guess that's the

point is like you get more facts but

will you ever truly get the real truth

probably I guess maybe that's the way to

put it probably official statements yeah

that's a good point okay fair fair okay

so maybe maybe the truth is we'll never

know with 100% certainty we'll just know

with slightly

more information with some with some

Sigma notation margin of error yeah yeah

exactly yeah okay all right what's next

last one on Israel and Palestine Obama

actually had a message about this too

you remember that guy right who what

Obama the buck stops with me that guy

yeah so uh he has a statement here I

have it on my screen if you want to

throw it up Christian um but I'll just

kind of give you the Abridged version of

this so he talked about 17 days since

the the launch since Hamas launched its

horrific attack against Israel he did

mention that Israel has a right to

defend its citizens in itself um and

basically talk down on on Hamas for the

the hostage and saying that he's hoping

for the return of all the hostages but

he does make a note that even though we

should support Israel it's uh clear that

how Israel Pro prosecutes this fight

against Hamas matters so he mentioned

too uh Biden had talked about how

they've made mistakes in the past even

though their allies had warned them

about it so he's kind of doubling down

on that um and saying that it's an

extremely difficult task a lot of a lot

of what he says I think is very very

accurate war is tragic even the most

carefully planned military operations

put civilians at risk corre like we

talked about like the leveling of Gaza

that's what they're trying to do but

they're not really trying to kill

citizens right it just it Happ going to

be casualties it's just like the the the

rocket misfire it's like you know the

Israeli troops coming in so you get the

Islamic Jihad it's like we're going to

defend our territory shoot Rockets oh

crap one broke I was reading I don't

know how truth true it is but

potentially as many as 20% of the

Rockets they fire misfire and a lot of

these are like homemade Rockets too

where they're just using like fertilizer

basically and and sugar is like a

catalyst and they shove it in a tube and

and these are like PVC tube Rockets it's

kind of wild I've seen videos too and

again I don't know how accurate this is

but this is from Hamas released videos

of them going look we're going into the

ground and taking out all these water

pipes that the EU paid for and using

them and repurposing them for Rockets

wow so source is Hamas said they did

that and they have videos it was like a

propaganda video of them doing it yeah

so if it's a lie it's like that lie kind

of bit them in the butt or it could be

the truth I mean I would imagine that if

you're making homemade Rockets it's

you'll take any kind of piping you can

get your hands on whether that's

sprinkler lines water lines from the EU

whether those are copper lines in a home

probably not

packs that's flexes a little too much

what do you guys think on the the rising

minor strikes on us bases around the

Middle East because we've seen that I

just saw it on the on the news wire come

across that the United States is seeing

an increased attacks on US military

bases do you think but when you say

minor attacks we're not talking children

we're not talking about gold miners

you're talking about small attacks like

drone strikes like like attempted drone

attacks yeah I mean this is this is the

hot bed of what who who is a Dio who

said the hot world or whatever right

this is how the tension flows those

attacks remember I think are getting

more coverage now than ever because of

what's going on but they they those

always happen our bases always get

attacked uh in the middle be in the

Middle East it's just a matter of how

much are we actually responding to these

and I guess a lot of it's coming from

Iran is what we found uh yeah well for

sure for sure source of instability over

there okay so then we've got uh Bitcoin

it also by the way looks like we do have

a an update here on the house Speaker

election emmer uh leads as House

Republicans meet to choose a nominee so

uh Tom emmer of Minnesota number three

house Republican emerged from a crowded

field on Tuesday as his party's leading

uh as he's the party's latest leading

Contender for speaker uh after multiple

closed door votes all right very well so

a little bit little little bit of

progress imagine that in Congress

although nothing how many weeks have we

been out without a speaker I don't even

want to know okay uh Bitcoin so Bitcoin

uh bitcoin's like almost basically

doubled this year to the Moon yeah it's

been going to the moon so let's hear it

yeah I mean today I I can recheck the

numbers now but when I checked about an

hour ago it was up 12% in the last 24

hours uh in the last week it was up over

20% almost 30% the last year and then

about like 80% uh in the past one year

ethereum's up to a lot of

cryptocurrencies up but uh Bitcoin

especially and this is uh you probably

know more about this than I do but the

potential ETF that's coming up has

sprung a lot of Demands and even Reuters

reported on this and it's saying that

Bitcoin shorts are getting squeezed yep

black rock is among several major US

Financial firms with pending

applications for ETFs uh and then a

quote I have from Reuters here is

speculation on their likely approval was

fueled by black Rock's ey shares ETF

listing on the website of clearing house

dtcc it was unclear when or Why the i

shares ETF was added to the dtcc list uh

they and black rock did not immediately

respond to request for comment per

Reuters in anticipation also grew after

reports this month including from

Reuters that the SEC won't appeal a

Court ruling that it had been wrong to

reject an ETF application from crypto

Firm grayscale Investments on Monday the

court formalized its ruling sending the

application back to the SEC for

review yeah uh you know what I think is

so fascinating is I I think the the SEC

has tried to do everything they can to

delay uh making any kind of you know

creating any kind of regulatory

environment around Bitcoin uh and that's

because they're probably just waiting

for Congress to tell them exactly what

to do you know who's going to take

control is it is it the SEC is it the

Commodities uh future trading commission

who is it the the problem you have here

is the longer it takes the regulation

the more you get ftxs and voyagers and

block fies and these disasters and the

more you get these speculative bubbles

this is good uh I don't think anybody

should look at this Bitcoin ETF and

think that it's a bad thing I think this

is fantastic uh I think it will this

this is my speculation but my

speculation is you'll probably get an

initial surge of adoption in these ETFs

and uh along with a short squeeze you're

going to get an initial price rise I

probably wouldn't buy uh Bitcoin right

off the back of this sort of ETS stuff

the I think the perfect time to to

probably buy Bitcoin which trades like

risk asset is Right basically when rates

start getting cut and that's probably

true of all risk assets whether it's

like Tesla or Bitcoin or whatever it's

clearly a risk asset I want to hear your

guys's opinion but that's that's my take

is probably when the best time is and I

think you have time between now when the

ETF hype Fades and when rates start

getting cut to actually get into BTC

because when you have hype and shorts

getting squeezed you create a temporary

overvalue valuation and I'm not here to

say that oh it's going to crash or this

that or whatever but you probably you

probably want to get CU this is not

official yet it's just looking like it's

coming you'll get the official

announcement then what you're going to

get is a lot of news and data about the

initial inflows how many millions of

dollars are going into these ETFs how

many more ETFs are going to get green

lit uh and and I think you'll kind of

get like a bleed out of attention on

this but over time as more and more

investors are like great I don't have to

worry about a hardware wallet I don't

have to worry about you know a blockfi

going bankrupt or whatever I can now get

safe access to bitcoin rates are

starting to get cut I want more exposure

to this risk asset you get a slow

increase of diversification in people's

portfolio to crypto especially after the

total failure of the 6040 portfolio over

the last year stocks and bonds complete

wreck people like oh you're Diversified

if you're 6040 bull crap it did nothing

for you this last year you were a double

loser if you were 6040 so now I think

people want to be exposed exposed to

okay I'm not going to be that

concentrated anymore in just stocks or

bonds I need my exposure to maybe it's

crypto maybe it's real estate which

reminds me we have a November 1st a

deadline for investing in house Haack go

to house act.com my real estate startup

learn all about it read the offering

circular because this video can't be a

solicitation but house.com as the

offering circular read about investing

in house Haack the deadline to invest

for 2023 is November 1st 11:59 p.m. so

go check that out what do you guys think

I'm trying to think if big coin like how

do you even as I mean obviously as a

port a portfolio manager yourself how do

you even analyze this with the the

thesis of pricing power does Bitcoin

have pricing power can you argue for or

against pricing power with Bitcoin I

think you can argue as Bitcoin more as a

of a hedge uh so you could look at it as

like a we said that in

2021 no no no I didn't say inflation

hedge uh I I think you can look at it as

as like a diversifier to to uh you know

uh I mean look I think it's but the

point the point that I'm making is you

can't say that uh I think a commodity or

whatever Bitcoin is is is really

something that has pricing power because

it is something that you set up as a

diversifier so it's what is it a

diversifier from it's not a diversifier

from risk it's a multiplier to risk but

is it potentially a diversifier to uh

you know a um you know a crash in

consumer staples or Staples go down

maybe your risk assets go up is it a

diversifier to dollar to currencies yes

yeah absolutely so not maybe even

necessarily just the dollar but maybe

you're invested in your own currency at

home because you have a lot of Euros in

your bank account you're like I want to

diversify away from Euros so I'm going

to put my money into BTC so I think uh

if you're looking at it from which is

your question like uh uh how do you put

it into a pricing power portfolio I

think you put it into the percentage

that's like the Hedge basket gotta yeah

and you're not necessarily hedging

pricing power stocks which could be risk

asset stocks cuz it's like an amplifier

that you're hedging something else

currency risk I think it be really

advantageous for um not inflation though

that didn't work no no that did not work

non us investors if you're wanting

exposure to a regulated currency that's

not your own or you don't necessarily

want the dollar it seems like an okay

alternative like an I something to to

look at yeah and and I wouldn't I I I I

do think the near-term hype cycle has

some risk to to slowing down but here's

the thing when we get to Peak rates and

the FED starts relaxing Bitcoin will do

just as well as risk assets how does

this affect the balance sheets of

companies that like Tesla has a couple

handful millions of dollars in Bitcoin

they still have they didn't sell they

sell all of it out yeah I mean obviously

it's good the price go up you know good

thing does Tesla dump now like if price

go up or do you think they use it as

like a currency hedge too to like do

they I what do they do with it I think

Tesla holding Bitcoin is Elon being Elon

you know it's like his version of

marketing uh so I I I don't know I also

don't know that it matters so much I

think that what matters is that uh

because like Bitcoin go up Tesla stock

go up that's those are not necessarily

because you know Tesla stock doesn't

necessarily go up because bitcoin's

going up it's just when bitcoin's going

up it's going to be because risk assets

are going up and Tesla is a risk asset

uh interest or stocks that are growth

companies are risk assets growth

companies benefit from lower interest

rates the best time to launch a Bitcoin

ETF is when interest rates Peak that

might be right now that might be right

now oh boy that's interesting you got

any thoughts Mikey yeah short term there

could be risk like you said to the hype

with all this stuff happening like don't

don't I'm I'm not your guys's financial

adviser or investment advisor but uh

when things kind of get hyped up because

of rumors and things like that I know

they say buy the rumors sell the news

but that usually works if you're pretty

early on the rumor too with that said

Bitcoin tends to have these fouryear

cycles that we've seen before too and

and I think the best time in general to

buy Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general

is when it's not sexy and when people

aren't talking about it when people are

going back to saying this is a scam this

will never work that's the time so these

last couple years where nothing's really

happened that's the time soon as you're

seeing it on the news and you're getting

calls from like your grandparents and

your aunts and uncles going like you

should buy Bitcoin I bought this bit

sell that's the time to sell yeah that's

so funny I mean that's I feel first of

all I think you're 100% right second of

all I I keep telling myself you know I

was talking to somebody just the other

day about Tesla they're like oh so you

know if you take a Tesla on a road trip

what do you have to probably uh stop in

charge for like four hours every so

often right and like you mean like 30

minutes and you're like 80% nearly like

what it's gotten that people have no

freaking idea how great these tesas are

and what I tell myself is I sell Tesla

stock when everybody says Teslas are

great and I like charging is great

that's when you sell you don't sell

Tesla stock before you get this

mainstream adoption of EVS cuz you're

not there yet it's the same thing what

you're saying with Bitcoin when

everybody's talking about it that's when

you're near Peak yeah it's actually a

good point the dtcc.com website just

went down because so many people are

going to check wow that's a big uh

organization that's my presumption of

why it would be down is because they're

being swarmed by inqueries but dtcc.com

is down or they're getting dosed true

you know about this dsing what's going

on here heard of this yeah well D

handshake SSL handshake failed

cloudflare Cloud flare says LA's working

browser working host error so this is a

a certificate issue between the edge

which is cloudflare and the the origin

web server basically their SSL

certificates probably expired or

invalidated for some reason and they

haven't put it back up yet wow can you

try forcing it over HTTP do HTTP

call and then dcc's website with the S

without the S without the S okay okay

okay still nothing still nothing

dtcc.com that way at least you'll bypass

SEC not secure yeah yeah so I'm going to

continue to site yeah uh pin will wow so

a Dos that that has like a malicious

implication like a DOS is when something

gets taken down because one person sends

a bunch of requests over to the server

and basically shuts it down a dods is a

distributed denial of service so it's

when either me and M and all of our

friends are attacking the same Source or

if I'm using a botn net or something

like that in this case it basically

works just like a Dos it's everybody

around the world's trying to connect at

the same exact time and that's

overwhelming the server and it's just

shutting now going I can't handle this

amazing so is it Mal like if you had an

error is it malicious or do you think a

lot of people are just curious it's it's

probably the the ladder yeah people are

all just trying to connect and it's

overwhelming the well you have to

remember the dtcc is a website that is

for clearing brokerages clearing firms

how many freaking clearing firms are

there in the country not at least two at

least two yeah yeah yeah okay so maybe

like a few dozen right so like if there

are a few dozen clearing firms that need

the services of the dtcc how often does

their website get visited you know it's

been getting visited by us a lot not

because of Bitcoin but other things but

it's very rare that somebody's like oh

I'm waking up and I want to be a

customer of the dtcc now everybody's

like dtcc d the entire Bitcoin and

crypto Community you know everybody

wants to see it there I wonder if

because of that people have found

vulnerabilities in the website because

it is such not a public facing website

that maybe it is a malicious I don't

know generally the the facing part of

the of the website is going to be

totally separate from the backend stuff

that happens which is why like I'm sure

these like people are still able to

clear these transactions just fine 100%

you can't visit the stock market would

be halted right now they clear like 70

plus% of stock market transactions like

when you trade um guarantee it your

trades have gone through them uh so uh

yeah no the stock market would be shut

down right now if the dtcc servers were

actually failing so I think I think it's

what you said it's this volume yeah yeah

it's actually other words Apple just

announced an online event called scary

fast plann for October 30th any idea

what it could be scary fast or fast

scary fast October 30th they just
