	Music Boy, Jesus is really laying into that fig tree.
	Yeah, he can get a little moody, but, you know, he's got a lot on him.
	Yeah, it's just one tree, though.
	Yeah, but he's stressed.
	You shouldn't be worrying about this.
	I'm gonna say something.
	Hey, Jesus, you know this fig tree thing?
	Really, it's not that big a deal.
	Well, it's not just about the fig tree.
	Right, I know, yeah.
	You've got a lot on your plate.
	We can really just take care of this stuff for you.
	It's allegorical is what I'm trying to say.
	Right, but if you need some figs, if you really need some, we can just go get you some.
	We can buy you figs.
	Yeah, you want figs?
	We can go to the temple and buy you figs.
	Hold on.
	They're selling figs at the temple?
	Yeah, where the Court of the Gentiles used to be.
	Yeah.

	I hope it goes smoother than yesterday, Sip.
	Glad we have a lot to get to today.
	Donald Trump, Times Person of the Year.
	Yeah!
	Hey, rightfully so.
	We're going to get into this, not the conjecture of Jay-Z allegedly being a child rapist.
	Allegedly.
	If you're a betting man.
	But we're going to get into some of his history there, because a lot of people may not know some of the ins and outs of Jay-Z. And important here, Chris Ray is gone.
	Yay!
	Yeah!
	But it also highlights, you know, Hegseth.
	People are talking about Pete Hegseth right now.
	A lot of rumors that were circulating, and then, of course, a...
	A lie, a lie that came from West Point to journalists saying that he had not actually been accepted into West Point.
	Thank God he kept his acceptance letter from 30 years ago.
	But it shows you the corruption that you see with not only intelligence agencies, we see that with Chris Ray, we'll get into that, but you see it with the people pushing pencils in our institutions and our military.
	And in this case you have The military, you have journalists, and then you add big tech.
	Hey, does this sound familiar?
	Oh wait, wait a second, intelligence agencies, Hunter Biden laptop.
	That's right, it's Russian disinformation.
	And then we get to, oh, hold on a second, journalists saying it's Russian disinformation.
	Then big tech banning it as Russian disinformation, and then telling you it's the most free and fair election of all time.
	So it is this horrible mutant of your institutions actively working against you.
	So the question of the day, of course, is what's your favorite Jay-Z album?
	Mine is the one with Linkin Park.
	So is theirs.
	And I get that at some point today when we're talking about Jay-Z, you're probably, if you're watching on YouTube, going to see this.
	Head on over to Rumble.
	It's a live show.
	Weekdays, 10 a.m.
	Eastern, and we will be pulling no punches.
	I am not a Jay-Z fan, and it's going to be a double-barreled, hair-triggered crap machine gun today.
	Name that reference.
	CEO, Captain Morgan, how are you?
	Feeling better?
	I am.
	I'm feeling better.
	I'm not quite completely there yet, but I'm off-cuff drops.
	Yeah, this thing has just been going around.
	You can comment below if you've had this.
	How are you feeling?
	The only thing I have is a fever and I'm a little bit tired.
	It just goes up at night and then it's gone and it's just, you know, so I don't really get sick sick very often, but it's hard to be around people.
	That's true.
	Any more spiders in your pockets?
	No?
	There was a wolf spider in my jacket.
	Ooh!
	There was a wolf spider in my jacket.
	Surprise!
	On the banister.
	It was hanging because I always believed one jacket had to go walk the dog.
	It was shake and a wolf spider came out and I will never sleep again.
	I got their bite is not venomous.
	There's going to be someone there like, well, it's more afraid of you than you are.
	Well, I had a funny way of showing it by crawling into my chest pocket.
	Must have been warm.
	Yeah, I guess.
	I just wanted to be close to your heart.
	Yeah, exactly.
	To kill you.
	I had a heart attack.
	This is a big wolf spider.
	I hate them.
	Had a butt like a tarantula.
	And when you hear this, you know him.
	You love him.
	Has, obviously, first-hand experience with some of the stories today.
	Saturday, December 14th, he's going to be at Film Alley in Bastrop, Texas.
	Mr. Firestein, thank you for being here, sir.
	Hey, thank you.
	Good?
	Yeah, this is good.
	This is a nice place you got here.
	It is a nice place.
	I tell you what, I taught my son a good lesson last night to stop being so close to the TV. Yeah, then I whipped him.
	He keeps standing right next to the TV, so I was like, alright, we're going to watch The Christmas Carol, the Jim Carrey one.
	And I was like, wait until we get to that part with the door knocker.
	Marley's the ghost.
	He got scared?
	Done.
	Done.
	I'll never do it again.
	That was me with the Marley brothers when it was the hecklers and the Muppet Christmas Carol.
	They're scary.
	They're scary.
	They come out of the basement.
	It's also hilarious.
	Now, before we move on to anything, look, you be the judge here.
	There's speculation.
	I'll provide some substantiating evidence.
	All references available.
	Link in the description is every day.
	Yesterday, so CNN, released this really weird video.
	A lot of people think this is fake, and by that, I mean it's allegedly fake, and by that, I mean it's clearly fake.
	Clarissa Ward just happened to discover a prisoner of the Assad regime.
	So watch this and tell me if it feels a little professional wrestling.
	I can't tell though.
	It might just be a blanket.
	But it's the only cell that's locked.
	Is he gonna shoot it?
	The guard makes us turn the camera off while he shoots the lock off the cell door.
	Why?
	Why?
	Is there someone there?
	Is someone there?
	Pause.
	They're already in the cell.
	They're already in the...
	Olly, olly, oxen free!
	And now, watch as he comes out from this welder's blanket.
	Look.
	See what happens.
	The gunshot didn't wake him up.
	Yeah.
	Muffy, muffy.
	It's all right.
	What?
	How did you get here?
	He tells the fighter he's from the city of Humps and has been in the cell for three months.
	Oh my word.
	Pause.
	What do you stop at Burberry on the way over?
	That's the cleanest jacket ever.
	That's a Burlington Kofax jacket right there.
	Anyone have one of these coats?
	It is a magnet.
	It's like you're wearing a Swiffer around your neck.
	Guy just walked out of the L.L. Bean catalog, and what did they have, Just for Men?
	That is a perfectly trimmed beard right there.
	It's not, I've been in here for three months without care.
	Yeah.
	By the way, when they're in there, they already blew off the lock with gunfire, and they're in there.
	I don't think it actually happened.
	They're in there with a boom mic, with a line producer, and he's just like, no, I'm just a hunting sheep.
	What do you...
	What do you think?
	Dude, that dome is so nice and shiny and clean.
	I'm sorry.
	He was sleeping on the floor and his head is like, Mr. Clean?
	Yes, exactly.
	Mr. Mostly Clean.
	Let's continue watching.
	I don't think this passes the sniff test.
	You're okay.
	You're okay.
	Now that you say so.
	I'll work.
	He clutches my arm tightly with both hands.
	Oh, great.
	A female.
	Okay, it's water.
	It's water.
	Is this BPA3? Thank you for speaking my native tongue of English.
	Yes.
	After three months in a windowless cell, he can finally see the sky.
	So his hand was shaking.
	Oh, my God.
	Oh, he's got the little goatee trim right there so he can eat.
	Oh, God, there is light.
	Oh, my God, there is light.
	Usually I would stone you, but today I'll kiss you.
	Now his hands are shaking again.
	Shake, gone, shaking.
	Not proof but...
	Okay.
	His body can't handle it.
	After chugging water!
	His captors fled during the fall of Damascus.
	I don't think he swallowed it.
	No food or water.
	That was at least four days ago.
	The rebel tells him there's no more army, no more prisons, no more checkpoints.
	Are you serious, he says?
	Syria is free, he tells him.
	Okay, a couple of things here.
	And by the way, of course, if it is genuine, and regardless, this guy has been kept prisoner, your heart goes out to him.
	They said he went four days without water.
	Most people die at three days with no water, just to be really clear.
	She said at least four days.
	At least four days.
	And they ain't looking thick like that.
	Their skin doesn't look so nice.
	To give you an idea, here's a photo of a professional MMA fighter cutting weight for about 14 hours.
	Look at their face.
	It's very gaunt.
	You can see the bones.
	I know that he wasn't wringing out it, but you do it over time.
	It's the same kind of effect.
	Again, the Burberry jacket with not a mark on it.
	The fact that he didn't wake up from gunfire blowing a lock apart.
	It didn't happen.
	So here's the thing.
	I'm sorry.
	At this point, I don't know if Clarissa was in on this or if it was somebody setting this up for her.
	This is my opinion.
	That's the money shot.
	Shooting the lock off of the cell is like, I'm getting that no matter what this guy tells me to do with my camera.
	And by the way, he makes us turn our camera off while he shoots the lock and you hear him cock it.
	It's like, that's straight out of a bad movie.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Nobody will do that.
	Like, why?
	You can't see him shoot the gun?
	Who are you afraid of?
	Are you afraid of the government?
	You just relinquished a power?
	It doesn't make any sense at all.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Well, they didn't have the budget for blanks.
	They also did...
	Before we get to some history on Clarissa knows none of it.
	They also gave this man a chocolate bar.
	It's the same exact reaction.
	Funny way.
	Dude, you can tell that that's not somebody who's been starved and thirsted.
	Like, they don't act like that.
	Well, you've encountered this.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I've seen people.
	I mean, I get it.
	You know, the whole shaking thing.
	That'll happen.
	But he immediately, oh, look around.
	No one does that.
	It's...
	They're dead in the face, dude.
	Shock.
	Yeah, they're happy, sure, but they're dead in the face.
	There's no, you know...
	Oh, what?
	They're gone?
	No.
	None of that.
	Not kissing the arm of a bony lady?
	Yeah, the shoulder.
	Of a bony westerner?
	No.
	He looks thick.
	He's got...
	All of his skin's got the color in it.
	He was one step away from going, Friend?
	So stupid.
	Does anyone have a lint roller?
	No.
	And in case, look, let me just also add this here to the mix.
	In case you've forgotten, Clarissa, she has a little bit of a history.
	So in 2021, she actually went full bore activist because she was so passionate about overthrowing the Assad regime.
	Here's her, I believe, on an FBI or CIA podcast.
	Clarissa, can you tell us about an email that you sent to Ben Rhodes?
	Yeah, I mean, you know, I will cop to the fact that I think I crossed the line in Syria.
	I became so emotionally involved, and I was crushed by the U.S. response and the U.S. policy.
	Not that I was advocating for intervention, but I just felt that the U.S. policy, and I know, Michael, you and I have discussed this at times in the past, that I felt that There wasn't really a strong U.S. policy that we had said Assad must go and then we had done nothing.
	Maybe you should bring them all Stouffers.
	We had said chemical weapons were a red line and then that red line was crossed and there wasn't really anything in terms of real repercussions.
	I wrote Ben Rhodes an email to his official White House account and I said, Dear Ben, I hope you're sleeping soundly as Aleppo burns.
	At least we have the Russians to sort it out.
	Best wishes, Clarissa.
	Oh, yeah, that's the beacon of unbiased journalism that she is.
	Let me be really clear.
	I am biased.
	I'm not a journalist, and we do have Mug Club undercover.
	You know where I line up.
	My problem is when people are dishonest about it.
	She has a vested interest.
	She has a history of being, perhaps some could view it as less than ethical, possibly litigious, so I have to be careful with my words.
	Also, this is a CIA podcast, which, by the way, totally inconspicuous sponsor.
	This is Intelligence Matters with former acting director of the CIA, Michael Morrell.
	Brought to you by Lockheed Martin.
	Well, well.
	How does that even...
	They don't even sell consumer goods.
	They don't.
	No, it seems like Honeywell, like, ah, we build plane engines and go get your air purifiers.
	Lockheed Martin, exclusively government contracts.
	So you have a government working advocate from the CIA, obviously someone who would be entrenched in the deep state, the swamp, sponsored by one of these giant military industrial complex companies, Lockheed Martin.
	And she's there saying, and I was trying to influence policy, telling them about, and we're supposed to buy this?
	No, you're supposed to go buy their products at the mall in between William Sonoma and Zoomies.
	They have an F-35 display.
	Or they do with a sharper image.
	That is.
	That's very nice.
	The cockpit has a massage chair.
	Look.
	For those long bombing flights.
	It's a fighter.
	I know.
	Shut up.
	So you guys comment.
	You think this is real?
	You think it's fake?
	If you think it's fake, if you think it's real, let me ask you this.
	If you think it's real, do you blame people for not trusting For not trusting journalists these days.
	Do you at least get it?
	Because I know that you watching right now, you may be moderate, you may be left, a lot of you out there.
	You understand it?
	We're going to get to Chris Ray in a little bit.
	Speaking of prisoners, by the way, last night we actually received exclusive audio of the first police interrogation of the CEO murderer, well, allegedly, of UnitedHealthcare, Luigi Mangione.
	Hello, Mr. Luigi.
	How are you feeling?
	Luigi not happy.
	Yeah, me neither, so let's get right to it.
	Did you kill Brian Thompson?
	No.
	Mr. Luigi, if it wasn't you who did the shooting, then who was it?
	Mario!
	Your brother?
	You do realize that a man has lost his life.
	Yes.
	Do you think this is some sort of joke?
	Yeah.
	You won't be laughing when you're locked up in prison.
	Ah!
	That's more believable.
	I'm Clarissa Ward.
	We found him in a locked cell.
	Yes, exactly.
	Who knew?
	He hadn't had spaghetti in days.
	He said, somebody bring me a mushroom!
	Asking for his go-kart.
	I'm not sure.
	He began launching bananas in an attempt to get us to slip.
	Yeah, something about a princess.
	Something about, I don't know.
	Dragons with shells.
	I swear, those are turtles and not mine!
	Ha ha ha!
	Oh, by the way, none of this happens.
	We're going to be getting into some pretty controversial topics.
	Fake ID says Waluigi.
	I'm sorry.
	It wasn't me.
	It was the one-armed Wario.
	It wasn't a city bike.
	It was Yoshi he wrote off on.
	I didn't kill my wife.
	I don't care.
	I don't care.
	None of this happens without you joining.
	Name that movie reference.
	Rumble Premium.
	Mug Club is Rumble Premium.
	Rumble Premium is Mug Club.
	Now there's the new promotional mug, the co-promoted mug, when you sign up between now, certainly, and Christmas.
	Just click that button below.
	$99 annually, $9.99 a month.
	You wanted an alternative to YouTube.
	By the way, December 8th.
	Not even election day, Rumble posted their biggest viewership.
	December 6th.
	December 6th, sorry.
	Biggest viewership.
	Current live streamers, you would think election night's going to be the night.
	No.
	They did an election night, then they topped that number right after that.
	They're growing leaps and bounds.
	You need to place it as the infrastructure big enough to work.
	This is the spot.
	And if you're watching on YouTube, I mean, that's the spot over there.
	Donald Trump.
	President Trump.
	He actually has been named Times Person of the Year.
	And I believe the New York Stock Exchange, we have a video, opened their day with a special bell ringing.
	Did they ring for Donald Trump or he rang the bell?
	Oh, that's right.
	I haven't seen this clip yet.
	So Donald Trump rang the bell.
	That's going to be fun.
	Just happened a little while ago.
	Donald Trump.
	He just keeps holding the button.
	He rings it extra long.
	That's right.
	Make money.
	He treats the bell the way he treats handshakes.
	He does.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Stop, excuse me.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
	You have to get a new bell.
	That bell's crushed.
	I know.
	They're like, do we try?
	Do we have to wait to the end?
	Nailed it!
	So, media, of course, some people are happy, some people are unhappy.
	Look, and it's not lost on me that Time Magazine has had, like, Hitler's person of the year, so it's not necessarily an honor.
	They've had good people, they've had bad people.
	It's the most influential person.
	All right.
	Donald Trump time person of the year.
	And to be fair right now, this cover is a lot better than the last one.
	Put them side by side there.
	Yeah.
	So they made the M in that logo deliberately look like devil horns.
	That was a story back then.
	Of course, people don't necessarily know what they're seeing.
	Sometimes it's subliminal.
	Let's contrast that with the media's portrayal of Kamala with a halo over her head.
	Remember that?
	These little subtle tricks.
	Wait.
	That take place.
	That looks just like the lights in the window, right?
	Yeah, I know.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah, for sure.
	It's a light, but yeah.
	They picked that just like, remember, they softened the red glow of Joe Biden when he was speaking in front of the White House.
	Everyone said, this looks like Hitler.
	And they made it pink.
	It was somewhere else.
	It was in the White House.
	It was in the White House?
	Philadelphia or something like that.
	Was it Philadelphia?
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry.
	You can acknowledge.
	I was Berlin.
	Yeah.
	It looked a lot like it.
	And the shortlist included Kamala Harris, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Kate Middleton, Claudia...
	Why Kate Middleton?
	I don't know.
	Well, she has cancer, I guess.
	It's the last time to be Person of the Year.
	Oh, no.
	Noodles.
	Shame.
	And Claudia Sheinbaum, and you're going, who?
	Not a lawyer.
	The president of Mexico.
	Also an accountant.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Very good one, by the way.
	Well, because she survived the election?
	Pretty much.
	She ran the numbers and...
	The likelihood of surviving the term.
	Not so great.
	And yesterday, Donald Trump also announced his new tower in Jeddah.
	- Oh. - Be humble.
	Wait for it.
	There it is!
	It's like his hairline.
	It looks awesome.
	How do you think he would react if someone forgot to put his name on it?
	Fired!
	Wait for it!
	Wait for it!
	Where's me?!
	It's worked!
	And by the way, it looks like a pretty cool tower.
	It's the first in a pair of new towers, actually.
	Next is Gaza, because the land there is dirt cheap.
	So, we do a...
	Yep, that makes sense.
	Somebody's gotta rebuild.
	Might as well be him.
	And this is just, look, I also think you're seeing, if you look at, I believe it was 2016, he was Person of the Year, and now the media is backpedaling a little bit because I think they realize now they've overreached.
	So they tried to make it look like devil horns before.
	Like I've told you, everything is going to be a little bit more subversive.
	Everything is going to be a little bit under the radar.
	Don't allow them to hide who they are, the left.
	They still think that way.
	They still feel that way.
	They're going to try and appease you a little bit so you go, alright, I guess you're not so bad.
	No, no, they are.
	They're absolutely that bad.
	Please do not forget it.
	They need to earn your trust back.
	Everyone in media, everyone in the intelligence agencies, everyone in universities, pretty much anyone who works in Washington, D.C., and that includes Republicans.
	Fair?
	Absolutely.
	And they're only going to get more pissed off.
	Donald Trump, I think, this morning, I don't think we have anything on this, so don't worry about it, but he said that he would, I think, pardon or look at pardoning the January Sixers within about the first nine minutes, I believe, in the White House.
	Good.
	It's hilarious.
	I love it.
	He's absolutely just poking these guys in the chest.
	I'm glad that everyone now is agreeing with that.
	Everyone was afraid.
	It was that third rail.
	Like, oh, January 6th, it was 9-11, the sequel.
	And we did an entire special.
	There was a hurricane, so they didn't do the hearing that day.
	There was a hurricane in Florida, and so the hearing didn't happen in D.C. And everything that you have since heard about them being invited in, the footage, even the QAnon shaman, we ran that.
	First off, we ran it within the week of January 6th happening.
	And we ran it again.
	And now everyone feels as though it's safe enough to.
	But you know what?
	We sat down and we said, yeah, I get it.
	You know, we may lose some viewership because right now it's really unpopular to say that most of these people didn't do anything wrong.
	And it seems like the worst crimes were really vandalism, maybe some mild assault.
	There could have been one or two people who could be guilty of battery.
	But at that point, it wasn't okay to say it.
	And we said, you know what?
	People are being imprisoned in violation of their rights who literally took part in a walking tour.
	On terrorism charges.
	Yep!
	Terrorism charges.
	You've got to be kidding me.
	But you should wage terrorism on CrowderShop.com.
	Go and fill up your card.
	Look at this.
	This is one of the best new shirts I think we have.
	That is pretty good.
	I love that.
	Don't stop believing, baby!
	There you go.
	Nice.
	The bell will ring if you still believe.
	Even though there is no South Detroit.
	That song makes no sense.
	Well, it's just a New York boy.
	No, this is, you know, Trumpet Clause.
	Gonna grab him by the pussy!
	No, I don't think you can do that, Trumpet Clause.
	I can touch him anywhere!
	That's a crime.
	Yeah.
	Still funny.
	30% off sitewide, right?
	30% off sitewide.
	No promo code needed.
	Go right now.
	Today, really, if you want to be safe for Christmas, order today.
	I think technically the cutoff is tomorrow.
	Okay.
	But just order today because you just want to make sure that you get it for Christmas.
	Makes a great gift.
	Or you can piss off a liberal relative.
	You're cut off for being a used car salesman.
	Now...
	Jay-Z. This should come as a surprise to no one.
	And to be clear, we're not going to get into...
	We don't have a lot of evidence right now.
	But there's a lot of evidence as to who Jay-Z is.
	Who, of course, he, along with Beyonce, have been venerated as a power couple of Hollywood.
	And this is more proof, yet again, of your institutions lying to you.
	Because you would have to believe that they don't know everything we are about to lay out for you today.
	But...
	As of this morning at 10.33 Eastern, 9.33 God's Time, Jay-Z is the latest rapper to be included in the Diddy Baby Oil Rape Saga.
	Rap mogul Jay-Z is denying allegations he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl alongside rapper Sean Diddy Combs.
	That civil lawsuit filed against Combs in October was amended Sunday to include Jay-Z. The accuser, identified only as Jane Doe, says she was sexually assaulted by both men at a Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000. Okay, so to be clear, a lot of speculation, and we will grant that.
	But the signs were there that we ignored the whole time.
	That sounds borderline confession.
	So, is it true?
	Is it true?
	That's like Jay-Z's thing.
	It is his thing.
	It is his thing.
	Did you do it?
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	Sing about it.
	So is it true?
	We don't know.
	I will say, always seems a little fishy when someone comes out, you know, 20, 30 years later.
	But this is an actual example where there could be power dynamics at play when you have someone who effectively controls a plurality of the hip-hop record industry.
	either way he sucks because he has a long and storied history of being my gosh what a piece of shit all right let's go back to the year 2000 this is the year of the alleged rape right now as far as we know uh Jay-Z was about 30, okay?
	And that's when he claims to have met and to have started dating Beyonce when she was 18 or 19. That's not a crime, okay?
	It's just a little creepy.
	But we now have, I don't think it's necessary, 30, 19 at that point, but here's the thing.
	Some pictures now have emerged of Jay-Z hanging out with and being quite close, Chummy, with a 16-year-old Beyonce in 1998. What a piece of shit.
	At the very least, he was working on her.
	What's the term, I believe?
	Grooming at that point?
	Yeah.
	You think all of a sudden he was like, damn, you're 19 now.
	Now I think you're hot.
	You're good looking.
	Didn't think of that before.
	Oh.
	No.
	Oh.
	You don't hang out with a 16-year-old and then the minute she turns 18 start dating her because you didn't have it in mind, okay?
	Let's go back to 2017, by the way.
	This guy, also, who often holds himself out as the arbiter of morality.
	We'll get to his comments on Donald Trump in a second.
	Admit it.
	Admit it to cheating on Beyonce.
	What a piece of shit.
	Was that from Becky with the good hair?
	And of course, here's the thing.
	These people who have behaved very horribly, horribly, and look, the left wants you, this is why they want you to fracture and divide because people on the right are imperfect.
	Sure.
	Okay.
	We're talking about a timeline where Jay-Z seems to have never become a good person, but still the darlings of the left, right?
	They helped Barack Obama.
	Huge influence.
	Hillary Clinton.
	And of course, huge influence with the Kamala Harris campaigns.
	And by the way, in 2016, Jay-Z referred to Donald Trump, quite stupidly, you'll hear his description, as a super bug during the campaign.
	What a piece of shit.
	Is, you know, the bugs come and you spray something and then they come and then you create a superbug.
	Right?
	Because you don't take care of the problem.
	You don't take the trash out.
	You just keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable.
	And then, you know, as those things grow, you create a superbug.
	And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug.
	I don't think that...
	I'm sorry, what?
	What was that?
	That man doesn't understand how anything works.
	Yeah, I don't think that's how bugs work.
	You know, I've seen it.
	Like, I spray Ray on a cockroach, and then it became like a super roach.
	Like a big one, like in Power Rangers.
	That's what I was going to say.
	It's like Power Rangers.
	No, no.
	It's like in Men in Black.
	Yeah, yeah, that's right.
	Did you mean to say like antibiotics, where you develop antibiotic resistance?
	No, man, I'm talking about super bugs.
	He was spraying whipped cream on the cockroach.
	I was like, bitch, you got a sugar problem.
	Oh.
	Why they keep getting bigger.
	Yeah, why they keep getting bigger.
	I've been feeding them maple syrup and wagon wheels.
	This don't make sense.
	You gotta lick that cream off your cockroach.
	Nope.
	Don't get me started on wolf spiders.
	And let's even go to 2013. I don't know if you know this, but Cuba is a horrible communist, right?
	But the left doesn't really have a problem with that.
	2013, the same year that Human Rights Watch documented Cuba arresting any critics of government, detaining anyone who was suspected of being remotely anti-government.
	The government was controlling the media.
	They were requiring citizens' permission to leave the island.
	Well, you know, Jay-Z and Beyonce decided to go to Cuba and effectively act as a tourism ad.
	But then again, so did Barack Obama.
	So both of them, what a piece of shit.
	Let's go to his...
	I mean, there are times and places.
	Let's go to his legal troubles.
	Again, this does not mean that he's a child rapist.
	I want to be really, really clear.
	But himself, at the age of age 12, shot his crack addict brother over a stolen ring.
	And I know what you're thinking.
	A, was it because he was trying to get him on the straight and narrow?
	Well, no, because at 13, Jay-Z was allegedly still a crack dealer.
	Oh, come on.
	So, there's that.
	And everyone will go like, ah, you do what you have to do.
	No.
	The problem with this is that's not what you have to do.
	There are plenty of people in that same neighborhood who decided not to take that path, whether it's a Ben Carson, whether it's someone like a Herman Cain raised in poverty.
	We don't know Daniel Penny's story.
	We don't know the story of every union factory worker, anyone out there working in foundries, working on the manufacturing line.
	No.
	The only way through is not to smoke crack.
	Or certainly not to deal crack.
	And you know, it's certainly not in the 2000s when there are programs and grants and affirmative action.
	Social engineering taking place.
	Take advantage of one of those freebies, Jay-Z. Oh, deal crack.
	Maybe because it's easier.
	Maybe because it's easier?
	And instead of saying, hey, I was completely wrong, and by the way, I chose to do the wrong thing.
	And kids, you know what?
	You could have been in my exact same situation, and there are other options.
	Instead, it's like, you know, I'm not proud of it, but you hustle.
	No, no.
	For every person like Jay-Z, there are hundreds who chose not to.
	It's not a given.
	And in 1999, Jay-Z pled guilty to stabbing a record executive who he thought leaked his album.
	I'd say that makes him kind of shitty.
	2003!
	Because you say, well, he was just doing it because he was being wronged.
	Okay, all right, that might make sense.
	You still probably shouldn't stab someone.
	You know, use your words, Mr. Z. 2003, his nightclub, 4040, was sued for bouncing checks to contractors who were hired to work on the club.
	So he'll stab you if you wrong him.
	Doesn't seem to have a huge problem with wronging others.
	That would put you firmly in the what a piece of shit category.
	Bounce with me.
	Bounce with me.
	Overdraft fees.
	All.
	All.
	Junk fees.
	I can't be out of money.
	I still got checks.
	Yeah.
	laughter laughter That was a good one, Gerald.
	I gotta admit, I'm a little dumb.
	It took me a second.
	I was like, what?
	It's actually very cutting.
	This is something that people in the industry have known, right?
	Here, this is just a funny clip.
	Shaq couldn't hold it together when Charles Barkley reacted to someone bringing up Jay-Z. Just watch.
	You think Jay-Z or...
	Probably not a good time right now.
	You're a silly man.
	Go see if you can fix the wall, will you, Shaq?
	Fix the wall, man.
	I love Shaq.
	So, does it mean that this is necessarily true?
	No, it does not.
	Of course, you're innocent until proven guilty.
	The issue is with the media covering up and the media doing the bidding of these power couples.
	Whether at one point it was Weinstein, whether at this point it's...
	I mean, Diddy, of course.
	You had Diddy on Oprah.
	You had Diddy doing proactive commercials.
	You had Diddy running Vote or Die.
	You had the same thing with Jay-Z. And we're all supposed to turn a blind eye while we condemn people who claim our worldview for being imperfect.
	So...
	At the end of the day, whether he did this or he didn't, go check the references and you will agree, what a piece of shit.
	All right, we are going to be moving on here to...
	What is that?
	That's not me.
	Do you hear that?
	What is...
	Oh!
	Who's this?
	Yeah, that's Jack Santa, Gerald.
	What?
	Yeah, it's Jack Santa right here.
	Jack Santa.
	What are you doing?
	Hanging out.
	Okay.
	What?
	Hush!
	Hush, little man.
	Oh, Jack Santa's got some burning.
	I'm here to guide you to my wonderful workshop.
	Well, yeah, let's go.
	That's what you're supposed to do initially.
	Yeah, dude.
	All right.
	We got a show, guys.
	Let's go.
	Let's go!
	Behold!
	I bring you tidings of great gains!
	With Evolution!
	By Jacked Up!
	Ooh, it's got three weights!
	And an industry-leading, stack-loaded Smith machine!
	Ultra-smooth cable police!
	Hoo!
	I almost forgot!
	Santa needs his milk and cookies.
	Thank you.
	Delicious.
	They brought us in here just to watch you lift?
	Ho ho ho!
	And to show you that the Evolution is the best all-in-one home gym on the market.
	And right now you can get everything 20% off at GetJackedUp.com.
	It's a Christmas miracle.
	Yeah.
	Bless us everyone, but can anyone use the Jacked Up Evolution?
	Why, of course.
	Mrs. Claus loves it too.
	She's gained two inches on her glutes.
	Alright, Jacked Up Santa, hey man, really appreciate it.
	Thank you for the tour, but we kinda got a show to do, so guys, we need to get back to this.
	No, no, no, no, Gerald's right, Gerald's right.
	In fact, Gerald, I've left you a special present on your desk.
	Oh, nice.
	It's frickin'-- Okay.
	You deserve it.
	That's your gift, Gerald.
	It's not a gift.
	It's a troll job by Jack Santa, and I don't appreciate it.
	Well, if you're naughty, you won't make those gains.
	You won't make them anyway.
	Jack Santa left me a gift, too.
	Really?
	She autographed it for me.
	Nice.
	Thanks, Mrs. C. She's quite the influencer.
	She's going to start an only clause.
	That sounds like something that people who identify as cats do.
	Sounds like something legal.
	It's her star.
	Never mind.
	Okay.
	Aww.
	By the way, and this is one of those, we have rare sponsors, and this is one of those that I'm super excited about.
	I knew about them before they ever came in.
	Our gym here in the studio was just what we could get at that point from garage sales for basically for free.
	It is 20% off site-wide right now.
	Go to getcheckedup.com.
	If you're looking for a home gym, that evolution is unbelievable.
	It fits in a garage.
	Everything faces the front, so you don't have to get around it if you don't have a lot of space.
	And it's the only one that actually has a functional stack-loaded Smith machine along with being An entire squat rack.
	You're going to love that.
	It's something I've been using.
	I mean, it's just the better version of what you see there in the gym.
	And it has a lifetime warranty.
	They use good steel, good quality, great customer service.
	Cannot recommend them enough.
	Getcheckedup.com.
	Absolutely.
	Love these guys.
	Yeah.
	They're a lot of fun.
	And this brings us to a story that I'm pretty happy about.
	How are you?
	The FBI director.
	Oh wait, no.
	Former FBI director.
	He's going to resign at the end of the term.
	Don't ruin it for me.
	He announced, Chris Ray, that he's resigning.
	Let me try this again.
	There goes the second murder.
	Yesterday...
	The FBI director, perhaps former FBI director, you say your thing.
	I say, don't ruin it for me, Gerald.
	Hold my beer.
	Chris Ray announced in two minutes, clip WKYC, just in case.
	Chris Ray announced that he is going to be resigning.
	Just within the last couple of hours...
	FBI Director Christopher Wray announced he is resigning.
	He said today that he'll leave by the end of the Biden administration.
	His resignation comes after criticism by President-elect Trump, who's already named loyalist Kash Patel.
	All right.
	We changed that last minute.
	It was going to be the celebration song, I believe.
	And you can shut off the speaker there, Billy the Kid.
	There's a lot of elements.
	It's not easy.
	You think Jack Santa just happens?
	The elves are on vacation.
	There.
	Yeah, if we didn't care about you, we'd just go, Jacked up Santa.
	I hope that this comes down your Christmas chimney this year.
	Go.
	It would suck.
	The show would suck.
	And it can't fit down a chimney.
	No, it can't fit down a chimney.
	Have you seen those side delts?
	Good for you, Light.
	Screw being a dentist.
	I want to be an oil boy.
	Now.
	That's a good turn.
	We don't need any oil, boys.
	Stay away from that one.
	No kid wants to.
	Thank you.
	Oh, like you weren't thinking about the Charlie in the box?
	He couldn't just rename himself Jack?
	Shut up.
	That's fine.
	All right, back to Christopher Wray.
	He oversaw numerous scandals, or presided over numerous scandals, I should say.
	You know, the intelligence agencies, who you need to trust, right?
	It's a very important institution.
	Chris Wray was there when you had the Russia collusion hoax, you know, which was proven to be false, when you saw the weaponization of the DOJ against conservatives.
	Remember the Hunter Biden laptop scandal that intelligence agencies said absolutely was Russian disinformation, so Big Tech banned it as Russian disinformation, which would have fundamentally and single-handedly changed the outcome of the election.
	The Mar-a-Lago raid, where it's almost like we had an apples-to-apples comparison, and Joe Biden had documents next to his Corvair.
	And then, of course, two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
	So he leaves.
	We see him as a very unworthy adversary.
	It's time to send Christopher Ray off.
	With the time to close.
	As far as you know, based on the findings in the Inspector General report, is the FBI, was it part of some deep state?
	Well, I think that's the kind of label that is a disservice to the 37,000 men and women who work at the FBI who, I think, tackle their jobs with professionalism, with rigor, with objectivity, with courage.
	Time to close Endings and beginnings Are ending and beginnings Under my leadership, we elevated racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism to our highest threat priority on the same level with ISIS and homegrown violent extremists.
	I think with respect to former President Trump, There's some question about whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.
	So when did you notice his decline?
	In my interactions, in my role, all my interactions with the current president have been completely professional.
	Would you consider the execution of the search warrant that Mar-a-Lago arrayed?
	I would not call it a raid.
	I would call it the execution of a lawful search warrant.
	Do you believe the Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation?
	I don't think there's anything I can share on that in open sight.
	Are you protecting the Bidens?
	Absolutely not.
	The FBI does not and has no interest in protecting anyone.
	I don't have that in front of me.
	I'm happy to circle back and get that to you.
	I don't, as I sit here right now, I don't know the answer to that.
	I believe we know the answer to that.
	I just don't have it.
	I know that it's time for things to close.
	And Christopher Wray does not exist in a vacuum, to be clear.
	And that takes us here to this next story.
	Hopefully, I've made this clear, I think I have, but the left really wants you to, they really want a scapegoat for the mistrust in institutions.
	And rather than being the institutions themselves, whether it's the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, Department of Education, take your pick.
	They make it you.
	They make it you!
	These institutions are fundamental to the United States of America.
	I would argue that more fundamental would be the First Amendment, freedom of speech, the Second Amendment, that these institutions have trampled.
	Christopher Wray doesn't exist in a vacuum, which brings us to Pete Hegseth and the West Point scandal.
	For people who don't know, there's been a smear campaign on this guy.
	Now, I can't tell you that I know what's true and what is not true.
	I will tell you that I don't believe it.
	Let me tell you why.
	When they tried to come out with these sexual assault claims, there was no evidence.
	There were no charges brought.
	They were trotted out recently.
	It doesn't even seem like it's possible if you read the story.
	And so then they start scraping the bottom of the barrel with things that can't be proven.
	So we'll get to West Point lying and journalists basically engaging in journalistic malpractice.
	But some of the smears now have gone to, actually, even though you see him early morning every single day, Pete Hexeth, he's ineligible because he has a huge drinking problem.
	Hexeth is having to assure senators, as Julie just said, that he won't drink when he becomes defense secretary.
	That's sort of remarkable that you have to make a promise like that.
	What's your gut sense here?
	Do you think he'll actually get through with promises like that?
	Well, I think that it's a very interesting term, but it also showcases how important he sees that that drinking problem happens to be to a lot of the people who are going to be taking him under consideration, up to and including President Trump.
	Looking at that, I think that him going out on a limb and saying that he's not going to drink it is, consequentially, it should be something that is a denier in and of itself, because as far as we know about alcoholism or people who have alcohol problems, and I've had some people in my own family who've had those issues, Saying that you're not going to do something that you've been prone to do as a means to get the job, I think is a very bad place to be.
	See what she does?
	She tries to give herself some authority.
	Because I knew an alcoholic.
	Yeah, I doubt he's down in Colt 45 before Fox and Friends, sweetheart.
	Let's be really clear.
	Oh, why's it gotta be Colt 45?
	Okay, Mickey's.
	Shut up.
	I don't care anymore.
	Whatever 40 you choose, go for it.
	And what's the definition of an alcoholic?
	Well, this is the issue, right?
	The left is where everyone is a narcissist.
	If you're successful, you're a narcissist.
	If you actually have low self-esteem, you're a narcissist.
	If you drink regularly, but you don't ever binge drink, you're an alcoholic.
	If you drink occasionally, and then you drink too much, you're an alcoholic.
	If you drink alcohol, you're an alcoholic.
	So they just broaden the definition.
	Everything is abuse.
	Everything is, insert whatever today, narcissism.
	Everything is a red flag.
	Everyone who drinks is an alcoholic, but wake and bake, right?
	That's the issue right now.
	It's totally fine.
	But look, this is their playbook every single time, right?
	We went back to Kavanaugh, and you just trot out the sexual assault charges, right?
	You just go, oh, he sexually assaulted somebody.
	When that didn't really stick with Hexect, they're like, well, he's an alcoholic, according to unnamed sources that he worked with.
	Only every person that I've seen come out that he worked with said...
	Actually, I was sitting next to him in the chair for eight hours a day, and he was fine.
	Yeah.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	And you know what?
	There are a lot of parallels between Kavanaugh.
	Remember, Mission Control, bring up that clip.
	We'll play it on Rumble Premium after work.
	The beer?
	Was it Cory Booker asking, or someone asked him, do you drink beer on weekdays?
	That's how you know it's a smear.
	Hey, you know who else occasionally drinks beer on weekdays?
	And by occasionally, I mean regularly.
	There you go.
	Why you gotta write me out, bro?
	This is the pearl fletching.
	Yeah, you know, I get it.
	I get it.
	I'm not part of a power couple who shot my brother for stealing my ring while dealing crack cocaine and stabbed the record executive and groomed a 16-year-old, but I did have a refreshing Belgian triple on Wednesday, so lock me up!
	Have you ever taken one of those questionnaires that determine whether you're an alcoholic or not?
	Yeah.
	I have.
	All the questions are set up to make you an alcoholic so they can give you treatment.
	It's like, do you ever drink on the weekends?
	Well, yeah, it's the weekend sometimes.
	Do you ever drink on a Sunday?
	Well, yeah, I like football.
	Do you ever drink in public?
	Well, yeah, sometimes I go to a football game and I drink.
	Do you ever drink at home?
	Well, yeah, sometimes I watch football at home.
	Do you ever drink by yourself?
	Yeah, sometimes I'm watching the game alone.
	Do you ever pee in public?
	15 questions later, I'm an alcoholic.
	And if you don't drink, by the way, don't start drinking.
	I'm not saying there's any health reason to drink, but it's become this sort of boogeyman du jour now, where it's designed to be weaponized, like we see with the DOJ. It's designed to make you feel lesser than if you enjoy a cold beer.
	They did it with Kavanaugh.
	And similar with Kavanaugh, as I get into this story with West Point, and I think it's ProPublica, thank God Hegseth kept...
	His acceptance letter from West Point, just like we thank God that Brett Kavanaugh kept a journal that could be verified.
	Right?
	We have the beer clip if you want it, too.
	Okay.
	You know what?
	Yeah, let's play this right now, because here's how you know it's a smear.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	I thought we were sitting down to talk about me gang-raping a woman.
	Oh, we're asking if I have a Heineken on a Tuesday?
	That's how you know.
	It doesn't matter what you do, they're gonna try and make something up.
	Here's the clip of Brett Kavanaugh being asked if he drank beer on weekdays.
	You drank on weekdays, yes or no, sir?
	Uh, in the summer...
	When we went over to Timmy's house on July 1st, that would indicate yes.
	Yes, in other words, that July 1st reference to skis, went over for skis, that's brew skis, correct?
	And after Tobin...
	Sir, sir, I just need a yes or no.
	That brew skis, right?
	Well, I need to explain in context.
	You just said, sir, that you drank on weekdays.
	That's all I was looking for.
	The only mistake Kavanaugh made is, I need to explain in context.
	No, you don't.
	Hey, yeah, you know, because you and a bunch of your buddies here in Kavanaugh, you're going to go to Old Abbott's Grill and have a two-cocktail lunch.
	So, yeah, I have a beer or two when I get home.
	Didn't Kamala Harris pretend to crack a beer on Colbert on a Wednesday or something?
	Yeah, exactly.
	She drank it live on TV. By the way, look, if we tell politicians they can't drink their way through their service to the country, a war's going to break out, okay?
	They sell alcohol in the commissary, and they can purchase it through tax dollars.
	They found cocaine in the white house.
	But they didn't find Miller Lite.
	Bill Clinton raped a woman.
	She wasn't drinking, and neither was he, Stephen.
	That's the point.
	No, it was a cigar.
	No, he also just dropped his pants with someone who was not even willing.
	It's like, we're talking about beer.
	That's how you know it's a smear campaign.
	Oh, there was no rape.
	Okay.
	Well, then was it sexual assault?
	Okay, there's no sexual assault.
	Did he make an inappropriate joke on a video game chat?
	Then that gets equated with, you know, what Jay-Z may have allegedly done.
	So let's go through the timeline here with this story, and it tells you why you absolutely should not trust.
	You absolutely should be skeptical of your institutions, because this combines, undoubtedly, I'm sure people in intelligence, but people in the Big difference.
	Delineation here between the people who want to join West Point, people like Hegseth, and the people in charge of acceptance, and the people who say we're going to make DEI one of our requirements, right?
	Do you guys understand?
	You can comment below.
	You understand that difference, right?
	Because I don't want people to come in and say, well, you should support our...
	You have some of those simplistic...
	Slogans where it's like, support our troops no matter what.
	The person lying about acceptance at West Point does not qualify.
	Timeline.
	7.12am.
	Hegseth posted this on his ex.
	He said, we understand that ProPublica, the left-wing hack group, is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999. Here's my letter of acceptance signed by West Point Superintendent, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman, U.S. Army.
	Hmm.
	So then at 9, 10 a.m., and this is the thing too, trust your institutions.
	Do you ever trust anyone in your personal life who doesn't flat out apologize when they get something wrong?
	There's a reason that we provide references for you here, and we have an admonish button for ourselves when we get things wrong.
	We can never be perfect.
	We don't know how we can do it more honestly than that.
	We're trying.
	Do you trust a relative or a friend who always tries to place the blame back on you, back on someone else, while accusing you of being a narcissist or manipulator?
	That's what the left does.
	So 9, 10 a.m., the ProPublica writer Jesse Isinger responded, saying, Hegseth has said that he got into West Point but didn't attend.
	We asked West Point Public Affairs, which told us twice on the record that he hadn't even applied there.
	Twice on the record.
	We reached out.
	Hegseth Spocks gave us his acceptance letter.
	We didn't publish a story.
	That's journalism.
	No, that's called getting caught.
	Journalism would be revealing or doing your job with the person who did engage in malpractice.
	In other words, if you have nothing to do with it, you should point them out.
	This person was lying.
	We know it's a lie.
	Check twice.
	Verified.
	You either have to believe gross incompetence or that it is a lie.
	And maybe the reason that you're saying this is journalism and they just made it is because you're involved.
	You're involved so you can't rat someone out because you're ratting yourself out.
	And I'll tell you my heart, because look, Donald Trump, we've been the victim of this, where, you know what, you often don't hear the side of other people.
	They just move on.
	The people who move on and do good work, they don't engage with this kind of stuff.
	It's the succubuses, succubi, who decide that they want to deal with internet drama.
	Suck your bitch.
	Well, speaking of which, perfect segue.
	Better than the guy who invented the segway who segwayed off a cliff.
	Poor son of a bitch.
	We wish this guy would.
	Keith Olbermann.
	On accident.
	Figuratively.
	Of course.
	Keith Olbermann replied to Hag Seth saying, The left-wing group that incorrectly said you didn't get accepted at West Point was West Point, you PTSD fascist liar.
	I don't know if at this point he knows that it's a lie.
	And he's still accusing him of being a...
	By the way, aren't we not supposed to...
	What happened to not weaponizing mental health?
	We need to remove the stigma of mental health.
	But you're stigmatizing a guy who actually, by the way, has seen the kind of things that may result in PTSD. In other words, it's not someone going, I had PTSD because I didn't get accepted to my safety brown.
	No.
	This is someone who likely has had friends die.
	Likely has been in scenarios that would change...
	Your outlook, your perception of the world forever.
	There's a legitimate claim to PTSD. It's over-diagnosed now.
	So we're weaponizing PTSD against a hero, calling him a fascist liar, when we know for a fact that West Point lied.
	Maybe he didn't know.
	Oh wait.
	He continued, Keith Olbermann.
	The compassionate Keith Olbermann.
	Yes.
	So you're calling the U.S. Military Academy at West Point liars?
	Why do you hate the troops?
	Oh, that's right!
	You have no principles, so it's about authority.
	Appeal to authority.
	Really?
	Here I can run this.
	There you go.
	So Oberman likes the military, just not the ones with PTSD. Right, exactly.
	So he likes the ones that haven't gone to do anything.
	Okay, it's hard to discern.
	No, that's exactly right.
	It's the people in the offices.
	You're a pussy.
	I like to fight them.
	Yeah, that'd be fun.
	Something a fascist PTSD liar would say.
	Yeah, and we can make lots of money on it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Why don't you trust your institutions?
	Well, one of the reasons is because Keith Oberman says to trust them.
	In this case, you have an institution, at least one that we know of.
	Well, two.
	You have the military institution and you have journalists, right?
	The institution of journalism.
	Lying, that's one side.
	And you would have had big tech there, just like with the Hunter Biden laptop story, if you didn't have all this versus one man, Pete Hegseth, who might enjoy beer on weekdays, but he had the receipts.
	What kind of a world do you think you live in if he didn't keep a 30-year-old acceptance letter?
	Hey, he loses a job, and you lose someone who you want at that post.
	1.29 p.m., West Point did acknowledge to the Washington Examiner that Hegseth had been accepted.
	A review of our records indicates...
	This must have been the third review, right?
	Third review?
	Well, they were looking for Pete before they found Peter.
	Yes, exactly.
	Common.
	A review of our records.
	Yeah, I got it.
	You believe they got it wrong the first two times?
	Or do you think they got caught?
	Genuinely, comment below.
	I am attributing motive in this case.
	Yeah.
	Because if not, then guess what?
	We need to completely gut our military and build from the ground up because they are too inefficient to do anything.
	You think these guys are going to know how to engage in war?
	You think these guys are going to know how to find the next Osama bin Laden if they can't find an acceptance letter after two reviews?
	I know.
	It takes three?
	I would like to see who these actual people are that are in this office because it's likely that the administrators at the school are not, in fact, military officers or enlisted military folks.
	Right.
	Well, here's the thing.
	What the left does, the journalists, right?
	The journalistic integrity that you only see in films like Aaron Brockovich, if it has to do with tap water, is they say, I will protect my sources.
	So they keep those in institutions and positions of power anonymous, but then they sue us.
	To demand that the actual investigative journalists be revealed.
	In other words, it would be entirely appropriate for this person to not be anonymous because they still obviously hold a position of authority in an institution which, if you want us to trust, we should fundamentally correct and improve.
	No, no, no.
	Those people remain anonymous.
	The people actually doing the work on the ground who require anonymity.
	You know, journalistic ethics.
	Let's finger them.
	Let's reveal them.
	Let's dox them.
	It's a perversion of exactly...
	We have a way things should be in journalism.
	Not everything should be anonymous.
	And there are cases where, of course, it's required.
	They want to completely reverse it.
	So a review of our records indicates Pete Hegseth was offered admission to West Point in 1999, but did not attend.
	He already said that.
	Why do you need to include it?
	He said he was accepted and didn't attend.
	An incorrect statement involving Hegseth's admission to the U.S. Military Academy was released by an employee on December 10, 2024. Are they fired?
	Or are they still working there?
	Are they working in admissions?
	Are they controlling who gets to get into this school and become leaders of our future military?
	Listen, I know it's a high bar.
	Keeping track of the people that we say yes to maybe is something that the Secretary of Defense should take a look at.
	Let me make it really simple.
	They're refusing to name the employee that lied to ProPublica.
	Okay, here's a good, just a first litmus test.
	Are they paid by American tax dollars?
	Did they do something wrong?
	They need to be named, not anonymous.
	If these are people who are exposing those in power, they should remain anonymous.
	Does that make sense?
	Comment below.
	Oh, no, no, sorry.
	What Mug Club Undercover does in exposing the COVID architect Jay Varma or exposing the DOJ, that's gotcha journalism.
	This is, you know, according to ProPublica, journalism.
	Right.
	And by the way, look, if there's a simple explanation, give it to us.
	Give it to us.
	Fantastic.
	Easy.
	People make mistakes.
	I get it.
	Antiquated system's fine.
	You moved on to some other system?
	Okay.
	You didn't do anything.
	You just said, ah, we're not going to reveal the source.
	That stuff comes up quite a bit.
	Yeah.
	It's not the antiquated system.
	No, I know.
	I know it's not.
	This is a straight up lie because this stuff, it's a thing.
	Yeah.
	Like, all the schools in the military have these things.
	Yeah.
	Some people call them pink slips, like that, like a ranger school personally.
	You could check.
	Oh, it was a ranger.
	Okay, well, let's call my buddy over at the battalion.
	Yeah.
	It's almost like it's a big deal.
	They keep these records and they know where they are.
	Yeah, it's almost like it's necessary to have a functioning military.
	It is.
	It's an Ivy League school, for crying out loud.
	They've got the admissions records.
	Yes, the hallowed halls of West Point.
	I don't know, how do I, I gotta turn on your computer?
	Race!
	And isn't it interesting, two searches, nothing.
	And then in just record time, once he had the receipt.
	Yeah, I'm attributing motive in this case.
	That's where I am.
	This is an indictment of leadership.
	It's an indictment of our institutions.
	This is what the election was about.
	And you are not an extremist, and I won't...
	You can label me whatever you want.
	I will tell you I'm not an extremist in thinking that we need to disband the FBI, the CIA, and fundamentally overhaul it.
	And you know what?
	Now, let's add the desk jockeys in the military.
	Hey, if we start looking...
	Maybe here is a good place to start with the $500 billion in annual fraud.
	Vaporized money that we talked about yesterday.
	$500 billion gone.
	Huh!
	Well, seems to me that shouldn't some of this money go to a system that you can search, like, I don't know, any other employment system ever?
	And here's something else, too.
	The people whose opinion should maybe matter, the soldiers who served with Hegseth, A number of them signed a letter resoundingly endorsing Hegseth.
	He tweeted this.
	Update.
	Letter from my guys now has 90 signatures.
	Thank you, brothers.
	Honored, humbled, and motivated.
	And you know what?
	This is why they want weak men.
	This is why the left, when I say they, bitches about patriarchy, because good men band together with other good men.
	And that's strength that they're afraid of.
	They want men who hide in the nooks and crannies, who keep those in power anonymous, who obfuscate and do so under the guise of journalistic ethics.
	Also, funny coincidence though, one of the signatories is named George Floyd.
	So, you know...
	What?
	St. George?
	Helping from the grave.
	He voted, too.
	Yes, he did.
	Yes, he did.
	By the way, that Chinese national in Michigan is still in the voter rolls.
	Really?
	Good for him.
	Yeah, so, you know, we'll get to it when we get to it.
	Free and fair, and none of this happens.
	By the way, we talk about Mug Club Undercover and the great work that they do.
	These people actually have experience in investigative journalism.
	None of it happens without you.

	Just keep watching.
	Which brings us to this next segment that I'm excited about.
	Because, you know, I spent a lot of time, land to the north.
	Unfortunately.
	And it's a silly place.
	The Prime Minister is just the pits.
	it's time for no Canada.
	Yesterday in, uh, just be ready justin trudeau good usage condemned the american people
	uh for something something not voting for vagina Damn!
	Oh, sorry, right clip.
	But I bet you he doesn't drink beer on weekdays.
	Here's the Trudeau clip.
	No, it shouldn't be that way.
	It wasn't supposed to be that way.
	We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Trudeau, save some poonanny for the rest of us!
	What women want.
	Boy, talk about white knighting.
	I will forever be a feminist.
	Will you give up your seat?
	Well, no!
	Yeah, I thought he was going to say, and I am transitioning to be the first female Prime Minister.
	Is he the first female Prime Minister of Canada?
	I don't know.
	He'll certainly be the first female Castro Prime Minister of Canada.
	And then, in just a display of silliness, the Ottawa Premier, Doug Ford, said that he talked about energy, because that's really the only value that Canada brings to the world, let's be honest, that he was going to punish the United States and Donald Trump with their tariffs by basically hijacking Canada's energy exports.
	Oh, and the last thing was Olivia Gondack.
	It says that I wanted to eat her pussy.
	Olivia Gondack.
	I've never said that in my life tour.
	I would never do that.
	I'm half been married.
	I've got more than enough to eat at home.
	What about drinking and driving, Mayor?
	What about drinking and driving?
	You would never do that?
	Ho, ho, ho.
	You're a white guy.
	And then, see?
	Same thing with Kavanaugh, Hegseth.
	And by the way, he obviously did make some missteps, Rob Ford.
	But they go, what about drinking?
	Oh, now we move on to the next thing.
	It doesn't matter.
	Stop apologizing.
	You're imperfect.
	I'm imperfect.
	It doesn't.
	Pete Hegseth is imperfect.
	Donald Trump is imperfect.
	You're not dealing crack and stabbing record executives and potentially trafficking children.
	Not all of those are coming from one person, by the way.
	That was actually Rob Ford, I apologize, the brother.
	And by the way, the better brother, if you can believe it, compared to the Ottawa Premier Doug Ford, who said this.
