	This is my first time in the local studio since I've been back from Commie Canada for the summer, and we've got one hell of a fantastic guest.
	I think our worlds overlap, but only as of recently, because I don't remember the first video that I saw of you.
	Everybody, okay, we're doing an interview with Ian Carroll today.
	I don't know what to call you.
	I don't either, man.
	Conspiracy theory, not debunker.
	Tinfoil enthusiast.
	I'm somewhere in between a journalist and a conspiracy theorist, right?
	I think you are just not even a journalist, a normal researcher, which is what journalists used to be called.
	Because I was thinking about this earlier.
	For anybody who doesn't know Ian Carroll, what is your Twitter handle?
	Ian Carroll Show.
	Ian Carroll Show.
	Two R's, two L's.
	Yep. One I, one A, one N, one C. Ian Carroll's show.
	You do these things which are called conspiracy theory or rabbit hole, but it's also known as research.
	Yeah, I read.
	We're going to get into so much today.
	I joked outside.
	What a quiet day for news.
	Jay-Z implicated in the P. Diddy.
	What else?
	Daniel Penny just got acquitted.
	The Middle East is in a whole...
	Whole storm right now in Syria.
	No, it's only good news that another region has been destabilized only to allow even more radical...
	Possibly both sides funded by various arms of the U.S. government.
	It's kind of hard to parse out what's going on.
	It's the meme of Israel where you got the rockets going to Hamas and then you got the...
	My tax dollars.
	Also my tax dollars.
	So we're going to get into all this, but if you don't know who Ian is, you'll know by the end of this.
	Ian? I like to start off every podcast by delving into childhood.
	Who are you?
	How are you?
	First of all, how old are you?
	I'm 32. I just recently turned 32. You look very young, very handsome.
	You cut your hair.
	You had beautiful, long, lush hair.
	Yeah, I'm getting polished up for this new year, for this new phase.
	I got my first suit recently.
	My hair had to go.
	I have great hair and I love my hair, but it's not the first time that I've grown it out and cut it off.
	And it's just like, it's a phase thing I do in my life.
	And this time I knew it was coming and I actually pushed it longer than I expected because my travel plans kind of got delayed.
	And so the timing was just right when it happened.
	It's a beautiful lush head of hair.
	Thanks, man.
	I know you're from Washington State.
	I don't know if you were born and raised, how many kids you had, what your parents did.
	You're doing this now full-time.
	Yeah, but it's pretty new.
	I'm from Michigan originally.
	I was born in the Lansing area, which is the capital of Michigan, but I don't have a lot of memories.
	I moved when I was seven or eight to Washington State because my parents are both teachers.
	They got jobs in teacher education.
	My mom was a principal at a little school there in Bellingham, Washington.
	It's like the San Diego of the North.
	It's the northernmost town on I-5, and it's like a micro Seattle.
	So it's a very liberal world.
	It's beautiful terrain, so there's all kinds of outdoor stuff.
	There's islands, there's mountains, there's everything in between.
	So I grew up, first I grew up as a private school kid that was kind of socially awkward, and I got into teaching when I was 14. I went back and started volunteering at the school I had just left, like the middle school I had just left.
	And then that turned into teaching jobs of various, like first it was like after school daycare, and then it was assistant teaching.
	And then I kind of like hopped between teaching jobs with no degree at little private schools and stuff, just from the recommendations of parents.
	And teaching what, just general?
	All kinds of stuff.
	Like they give a teacher the curriculum, the teacher's job is basically to read the curriculum and make it up.
	In my case, almost never.
	In my case, it was always in weird positions where I was basically writing the curriculum from scratch of whatever it was.
	It started like when I was a kid, it was like I was the...
	Improv theater teacher, which was very useful for what I do now.
	That permeates everything I do.
	But then I was an assistant English teacher for a while, and I kind of bounced around through teaching summer camps.
	And landed in more like the middle school, high school age ranges.
	And I did everything from Spanish to math to sex ed at one point to PE.
	And basically always was in a situation where these schools are kind of throwing everything together on a skeleton crew and a low budget.
	And I had a lot of experience and I'm really good at kind of rolling with the flow and just taking on tasks.
	And so I basically was always able to just write curriculum and improvise and kind of put things together.
	You say both your parents are teachers, and you're brought up in the Seattle of the North.
	I presume your parents are very liberal.
	How many siblings do you have?
	I have just one older brother.
	He's three years older than me.
	Two kids, two teacher parents.
	Did you grow up with any dogs?
	Yeah, from off and on.
	We had cats for more of my sort of like formative years.
	And I didn't like them.
	Two liberal teachers with cats.
	That's where I was getting at politely.
	And we had cats always.
	We had dogs when I was younger.
	And then the cats are actually pretty fucked.
	Funny. The older male cat was this orange haired piece of shit that would break into my art room and sniff all my chemicals and his eyes would be all goopy and he was like a drug addict and he would like...
	Harass the female cat that was this poor little abused beautiful little like black and white.
	She was amazing.
	And she was this broken shell of a lady cat.
	And he was this horrible drug addicted abuser of a cat.
	And eventually he got so old that he wandered off into the pond when he got out one time and drowned himself.
	He huffed himself to death and then walked off and ended it all.
	When a cat...
	When a cat does another thing to another cat, they also do it doggy style?
	I've never seen cats mate.
	I think so.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I blocked it out of my memory.
	I never saw that.
	But every now and then we would hear crazy shit in the middle of the night.
	I was having a discussion with someone.
	They sent a picture of goats doing it.
	And I said, oh, goats do a doggy style.
	And then the person had it.
	It was Allison Morrow, who was also on the interwebs in our community.
	She had an interesting theory.
	It might be an evolutionary way of spotting predators while animals are at their most vulnerable.
	We went there very early.
	Growing up in Washington, parents are teachers.
	Troublesome kid?
	I was a problem child for sure.
	My brother was the intelligent, grounded, stable.
	A careful, thoughtful one.
	And I was the ADHD all over the place.
	Like, I was the one that my parents were just praying I didn't get into drugs.
	And they did good.
	And I didn't at an early age.
	And I did get into things like graffiti writing and stuff like that and skateboarding and snowboarding.
	But I also had this sort of, like, sense of...
	Duty to my family and to what's right, because my dad instilled a strong sense of righteousness and standing up for what's right, and my mom instilled a strong sense of work ethic and purpose, and really being able to be the hero of the story instead of being a piece of shit.
	And so that really protected me from myself in a lot of ways, though I had a lot of the tendencies that would turn you into a real problem.
	I was more just an experience or creative soul.
	And I got into, like I said, extreme sports kind of things.
	And that eventually merged into rock climbing and running as an older person.
	But when I was a kid, I was just sort of like...
	Really, I was like a kid in a candy store.
	I was really tall and I was good looking, but I didn't even know that I was socially valuable at the time.
	And I had been in private school my whole life.
	So when I showed up in public high school, I just had this weird year of academics falling off because it was so boring and un...
	Stimulating, paired with being really gregarious and really socially adept, despite being completely naive to the world, that just kind of turned into a really funny year and a half before I had to move to a school that would actually challenge me, of being just...
	All over the place.
	I think I dated like eight girls in my freshman year and they all broke up with me within like two weeks because I didn't have any idea how to like date a girl.
	I was just laughing when you say tall and good looking are things that I've never heard in my life.
	When you're short, they call you handsome, but that's just a euphemism for cute.
	Like you're like a little midget or something.
	You're cute and handsome, David.
	So you go to university?
	No, I didn't even graduate high school.
	I'm a dropout dropout.
	Really? Although I went to community college three different times just for fun.
	Different community colleges?
	All the same community college because at the end of my high school years, and I don't know if I've ever actually shared this.
	I never told this to anyone that I worked for as a teacher because they don't really want to be hiring high school dropouts to teach high school.
	But at my very last year of high school, I was...
	In a program called Running Start, which is where you go to the community college and you get high school credit and college credit at the same time, and it gets paid for by your public high school funding.
	And so you get free college, and it's awesome.
	But I got pneumonia right away that year and was hospitalized.
	Big health thing was kind of the start of my health journey.
	And I failed all my classes the final term of senior year.
	And so I basically was...
	Because in college, attendance is a huge part of your grade.
	So I was out for long enough that I'm like, am I going to go back for a super senior year or am I going to just be like, fuck this?
	So you said, fuck it.
	And then no high school, not that it matters, but no high school diploma.
	So I'm telling my teacher parents like, hey, I'm going to drop out of high school.
	But what I did is they had saved a very small amount over the years for our college education, which would have never gotten us through college.
	It might have gotten a start on the first year.
	But I went and I was very convincing because I understood what my parents really cared about and I understood what matters in the world.
	And I understood how to sort of like pitch what I wanted in alignment with like what they wanted.
	And it's a very useful skill to this day.
	And what I pitched was I want to travel internationally.
	And I'd been to Guatemala briefly in high school and I settled on a...
	Volunteer teaching program where I traveled to Guatemala and lived there for six months and taught Mayan children in a little village there.
	So I was teaching fourth grade and I basically did an international study abroad program.
	It's designed to be a gap year program.
	And I used most of my college funds to do that half year.
	And that kind of led.
	That opened the doors to traveling, and I got a job afterwards working at a hotel there.
	And that sort of set the stage for my early 20s of basically traveling and coming back to make enough money to go traveling again.
	I've never had it, but I've had it explained to me that once you get bit by the travel blog, you come back to civilian life, and it's not something that you can get adjusted to.
	Yeah, I mean...
	I'm a kind of person where I adjust very well to all kinds of settings, which is a blessing and a curse, depending how you learn to handle it.
	But it's certainly when you come back, at the time, at that age, when I was like in my 20 to 24, it felt like this world here in America feels so fake and conformed and contained and sterilized.
	Whereas like...
	Like, walking the streets of Guatemala and, like, being in the hills, the mountains, like, among people that have experienced poverty way beyond what most people did in my life to that point.
	Like, certainly there's lots of people in America that experience that kind of poverty.
	But I had been in a really sheltered, like, world.
	And most of Bellingham is.
	Most towns like that are.
	And it just felt like, you know.
	Supermarkets and chain restaurants and just the typical American strip mall.
	It's like, what are we even doing up here?
	And the grittiness, the constant day-to-day novelty of traveling, it was really addictive at that age.
	So you travel for the better part of your 20s?
	Off and on, probably from 19 to 26. I spent...
	Maybe three to six months out of the year on average down in Guatemala, like Mexico areas.
	I mostly went back to Guatemala because the place I got, I got this bartending and like hotel gig at a avocado treehouse hotel.
	So, it's an avocado farm with a treehouse resort that was, like, all these treehouses were hand-built by this Canadian dude and his Californian wife.
	And it overlooks this valley of Antigua, which is, like, the Hollywood of Guatemala, of the whole Central American kind of tourist trail.
	There's a volcano that erupts in the distance every night.
	That's amazing.
	It's, like, close enough to the town to go party, but it's up in the mountains where we've got yoga classes, and we get to stay in the treehouses when they're not occupied.
	And the boss is amazing.
	We eat avocados every day.
	How am I not going to keep coming back here?
	And I really like traveling in the way where a lot of people travel where they like...
	Book the tour and they go one day there, one day there, one day there, one day there.
	They see all the tourist sites and they get the guide.
	And that feels really sterilized to me.
	And it's always really appealed to me to go live somewhere and spend time there and get to know locals and get to know the culture and get to know your way around and just kind of dig in.
	And so I repeatedly went back to that same area and I would travel out from there relatively frequently.
	But I basically just got a college education in Guatemala, more or less.
	I guess the big question is, how on earth do you get into doing what you're doing now?
	How long have you been doing this for before we even get into the news?
	The news, the breaking news, the dirty, dark rabbit holes that you've gone down.
	Whenever we talk, I've got big brains in my life.
	Robert Barnes is the legal historical mind.
	Mark Robert, you may not know him, but the conspiracy theory, FBI, JFK assassination stuff.
	When you and I talk, and we've seen each other twice in person.
	And you mentioned things, and I will get into them, but the room A113, and you say, go look it up, and come to your own conclusions.
	How do you even get into doing what you're doing?
	When did it start picking up, and when did it become sustainable?
	Yeah, I had kind of fallen off the travel thing, and had been working restaurants, and kind of fallen into the American life again, and that sucked.
	And when COVID hit...
	There was this real awakening for me through COVID and the 2020 election and the Black Lives Matter stuff.
	And it was COVID and Black Lives Matter paired together where the individualism that had been instilled in me through all that travel started to wake up during COVID.
	And then the Black Lives Matter thing, I'm surrounded by liberals and it's like, whoa.
	You're in Washington during the LA.
	Just north of Seattle.
	Okay. And my roommates are all driving down to go protest in these multi-thousand person riots in Seattle.
	During COVID, when everyone's being told any event is a super...
	Exactly. This was a little bit later than my turning point or revelation during COVID, but no judgment.
	Anybody who read that article is protesting dangerous.
	Well, that depends who's protesting what.
	Anybody who didn't put it together then will probably never put it together, but you're in the epicenter of the BLM movement and the hypocrisy, not hypocrisy, the contradiction.
	Of COVID versus BLM.
	And not only was it on, like my roommates are going down there and I'm like, I don't feel, I'm not going, like fuck that.
	But then I started watching the live streams all night long and I started to dig into the like, what pallets of bricks and like, who is really behind this?
	And I guess I just was thinking just enough to start to ask the right questions.
	And once you ask questions in that liberal bubble.
	You get met with really weird responses.
	And so that started the wake-up train, and I woke up enough to vote Trump in 2020, which was this whole emotional event.
	I just heard the internet breathe a sigh of collective relief, at least in my community.
	And there's no judgment.
	I voted for Justin Trudeau back in 2015, before I was mildly conscious.
	Yeah, we all wake up in our own time.
	Yeah, and I don't think Trump is the savior at all, but I just knew that there was something going on, and I knew that...
	Whatever's going on, I have been lied to.
	Did you vote in 2016?
	I was out of the country.
	I was in Guatemala at the time, and I wasn't politically engaged at all.
	It's an amazing thing.
	I did watch the election live in a bar in Guatemala, and we got back up to the hotel and heard that he'd won.
	It was like, what is going on?
	It's wild.
	It is amazing to look back at your own life when one was not, myself, politically engaged or even politically conscious.
	And you look back and say, oh, yeah, it's election day.
	Don't look into a damn thing.
	Go to the polling station.
	Sign your ballot.
	2016, I think, was the beginning of the wake-up for a lot of people where at least the war on free speech, which has subsequently been disclosed in greater detail.
	So you didn't vote 2016.
	In 2020, you're having the revelation.
	You're still living in...
	The epicenter of wokeness.
	Not anymore.
	I got the heck out of there this year.
	Got a van and now I'm living out of Airbnbs and traveling around.
	Hence having the dog here in the studio laying down.
	But when I woke up that year, I was still a long ways from starting to make content.
	And during COVID, I invested in GameStop.
	Invested? Yeah.
	Okay, not investigated.
	No, I invested in GameStop.
	Did you do good?
	Well, I haven't sold.
	I still have all my shares.
	I've only collected more.
	And that's a whole other rabbit hole we can talk about another time.
	You were not in the movie Eat the Rich, the documentary?
	No, there's been a bunch of documentaries and most of them have been made by the people with all the big money to try to contain the narrative of what's really going on.
	I'm actually currently working.
	I'm ironic.
	I'm actually wearing the shirt.
	We're working on a documentary that is funded by the investors themselves that is being told from our own perspective because there's a whole other storyline that has been...
	Deeply obfuscated about what was figured out.
	Because once I invested, then I started going online and looking into what everyone's looking into.
	And what GameStop did, it was not the first time this had happened, but GameStop was the first time that the...
	That a financial crime had harmed regular people, and those regular people had the internet to such a degree that a real hive mind started to form, investigating what's really going on in the stock market and in financial worlds in general.
	And it was so blatant and so meme-y that people from all walks of life got involved, and it started this tumbling snowball of investigation.
	We see this one crime, but it looks like there's crime here, too.
	And it looks like this is fraudulent, too.
	Is the underlying crime the short selling of GameStop to drive it into valuelessness?
	Well, the naked short selling of GameStop is a big part of it.
	That's the most publicized part of it, meaning that the large financial institutions have the ability to just press a button and say, I can probably find a share, though I don't have it right now, and I'm going to borrow it when I find it.
	And I'm just going to sell it right now.
	So they can invent shares out of nothing, which is a money printer.
	And that is naked short selling versus short selling, which is you actually borrow to sell.
	Yeah, short selling is a sketchy idea, and it's not necessarily a great market mechanic in my opinion, but it's totally legal and it's totally fine.
	And there's nothing below board about short selling.
	But it's that the largest institutions...
	Have the ability to do it without actually having real shares.
	And so you start to invent fake shares.
	And the person that buys that share has just bought a share that never existed.
	And that was when the people who investigated into it observed that the amount of short selling far exceeded any actual...
	That there was more than 200% of the shares that are supposed to exist, and we had them all.
	And that's why most of us have never sold.
	It's because some people sold on the big run-up if they made gains, but a lot of us have continued to buy shares because we know that the only way to stop...
	To get out of that short-selling trap is to buy back the shares that you said you could find.
	And they can't find them because we have them all.
	And so along the journey, we've uncovered all kinds of other crimes.
	Just at the obvious level where the dude that's in charge of the gigantic market maker called Citadel that is responsible for the exchange that GameStop is on.
	They're the ones that are responsible for exchanging all the GameStop shares on the stock market.
	He also runs a hedge fund under the same name.
	It's called Citadel Hedge Fund, Citadel Securities.
	But they're different companies, and they would never communicate under any circumstances.
	They would never collude.
	And the hedge fund Citadel is allowed to short sell, not naked.
	They would never naked short sell.
	They're allowed to short sell GameStop all they want, while their other business that they would never communicate with is the business responsible for making sure that GameStop trades are legit.
	And he just so happened to be involved with the person that turned off the buy button.
	So we're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	And that's just the beginning.
	So we started to uncover all this crazy crime.
	And that was me starting to be like, now I've woken up to that we've been lied to.
	And now I've woken up, like we all know that money is the root of all the power in our world.
	And over the year, like two or three years almost, of kind of watching these people online, because I wasn't really doing the research myself.
	I was watching these other smarter people that understood the markets better.
	Sort of put things together and put out research and kind of like, and meme and just pass the time.
	And eventually I just kind of got to the point where I was like, you know, we've uncovered all this shit and I've never seen a single TikTok video about it.
	Like I've never seen a single short form piece of content about this.
	Why is, we're like contained in this little Reddit bubble.
	Why aren't we spreading this far and wide?
	And eventually I was like, fuck it, I'll do it.
	And I, uh, I was initially planning on starting my whole platform talking about GameStop and talking about financial crime and all that stuff.
	But I sat down to make that first video and I had an article open that someone else had done the research on and I was going to try to translate it.
	And I was thinking about how to go about this and realized, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
	I didn't do this research and I don't understand all these various parts of this complex analysis and I'm just a smooth-brained idiot.
	I should probably pump the brakes and start with just like, Learning, like, the basics here.
	Because I'm not actually the one doing all the research.
	I'm just reading it.
	And so I, like, scrapped that whole idea and started with just, like, who owns every, like, how does this all work?
	And I started with really basic questions, which is why my content really quickly appealed to huge amounts of people.
	Because I just started digging into the questions that we all have of, like, who owns all the companies that we...
	How do stock trades work?
	How does money work?
	And that quickly led to things like the CIA and Jeffrey Epstein and all.
	From there, the rest was history.
	It is amazing because I can remember the time where there's some questions that are so basic, but you don't even know that they should be asked.
	Like, okay, you talk about a judge.
	Who appointed the judge?
	And until you even know that that's the first question to ask, you don't even ask it.
	Is he allowed to get money or not?
	Who supported him if he wasn't appointed?
	Who donated to his campaign?
	So the GameStop is fascinating.
	You still hold.
	Oh yeah, and there's much more coming down the pipe very soon about it.
	In case you see GameStop in the news in the next month or so, what are we talking about?
	What is it currently trading at?
	Around $20.
	They did a split, so it's like $80 kind of...
	A 4-to-1.
	Yeah, they did a 4-to-1 split, so now they've been hovering around $20 for a long time.
	But I'm not really looking at the price.
	I'm not really concerned about the price because there's a way bigger thing going on behind the scenes where like...
	All I'll say is that I don't believe, and I've been a journalist digging into finding sources, like getting deep close.
	This is not just me totally speculating, but I don't believe that Ryan Cohen sold Chewy and got that huge payday and then decided he wanted to be in charge of a video game company.
	He has way bigger aspirations, and he's on a way bigger plan than that.
	The GameStop still has...
	It's not going bankrupt.
	It still has some basic underlying fundamentals.
	One of the things we learned is that the playbook of these big market funds, these big money managers, hedge funds, and the bigger boys, is they found out that they can make a ton of money by infiltrating a company's board and then gutting it for parts and extracting all the monetary value inside of a company and then leaving.
	And they did it to Toys R Us, famously.
	Bain Capital is one of the first examples where Mitt Romney was involved in Bain Capital at the time.
	And they get people on the board and then you do things like you sell off all the property that the company owns and then you lease it back to them, but you just happen to sell it to your buddy.
	And then you start to do weird stock buybacks and weird payouts to the shareholders, which just so happens to be you.
	And you basically mismanage the company into the ground in ways that makes you get really, really rich.
	But because you're hired by the company, you aren't the company.
	When the company goes bankrupt, it's like, eh, it was already on the way down.
	We tried to save it, but we couldn't.
	And it happened to Toys R Us, but then it happened to lots of other companies over the years, and no one really noticed until GameStop.
	And we noticed that, like, actually, a lot of these people have done this multiple times.
	And the board of directors at GameStop, for all these years when it was getting shorted into the ground, they were mismanaging it, like, really grossly.
	To the detriment of GameStop, but to the potential benefit of other interrelated companies in which they have.
	And not to mention to the huge benefit of Amazon.com, which is repeatedly gobbling up the market share of all of these other people.
	And Jeff Bezos was not a librarian before he started Amazon.com.
	He was in hedge funds.
	He knows all these people, which is a side note.
	I'm taking mental note of all of the side notes.
	Let me just see what I look like with my knee bent here.
	I can't do it.
	When Ryan Cohen got into GameStop, he knew that was going on.
	He got rid of all those board members.
	He wrote a letter expressing to them that you guys are ruining this and it's your fault.
	I'm a major shareholder.
	He forced his way in, got rid of them all.
	Over the last several years, while he's been doing stuff in the background on a different track, he's also been making GameStop financially solvent.
	And now they have billions of dollars of cash in the bank.
	They're profitable again.
	They're doing fine.
	They're not going anywhere.
	So there's really like no thesis under which I'm concerned about GameStop anymore, which I'm not concerned.
	But I also know a little bit about what the bigger play is because the shorts never closed.
	And there's other stuff going on.
	The shorts never close.
	Yeah, the shorts never close.
	Did they not need to close within a certain short time frame?
	Well, no, no.
	So short selling, it's kind of like taking out a loan in the sense that you can usually keep your short position open as long as you want.
	There's no reason you have to close it.
	You pay interest on it over time.
	And so it costs money to keep your short position open.
	For a long period of time.
	Who had the biggest short in the GameStop?
	It's not exactly clear who had the biggest short because you don't have to report a lot of this stuff.
	You can do all kinds of crazy shit.
	We discovered it.
	It's not like no one knew this.
	It's just that no one would talk about it.
	There is a whole array of trade types called swaps.
	Swaps is basically just a financial word.
	And I'm not getting super technical.
	I'm just kind of giving the broad strokes here.
	But a swap is basically any type of contract where you and I agree on the terms of a deal, financially speaking, and we both sign it and say that's good.
	And they're basically unregulated and they can be like, I have a million shares of GameStop on my books and you have a million shares of IBM and I want to have IBM on my books and I don't want the GameStop on my books.
	Just because, whatever reason, I don't want people to know or whatever, we sign a swap contract and we exchange that part of our books for whatever the term of that swap is.
	There's lots of kinds of swaps.
	And they can be used to hide positions.
	They can be used to hide short positions.
	And at first, this was like a tinfoil conspiracy theory.
	And then this dude named Bill Huang blew up his fund called Archegos Capital Management.
	It was one of these really big hedge funds, multi-billion dollar fund, because he was using all these crazy swap contracts with multiple different counterparties that didn't know he was swapping with the other counter.
	to basically just manipulate securities left and right.
	And one of his big swaps was shorts on GameStop.
	And when he blew up, it was because GameStop's price was going crazy.
	And that blew up all of his other trades.
	And he's the reason why Credit Suisse, which is one of the largest financial institutions in the world, went bankrupt.
	Because they were the counterparty for a ton of these swaps without knowing how toxic it all was.
	Maybe, allegedly.
	Or maybe they did know.
	I don't know.
	And then when he blew up, they're left with this giant bag and a dude that can't pay the other end of the deal.
	And they have all these toxic swaps, many of which are shorts on GameStop, which are still fucked.
	And so they blow up.
	And then UBS was forced in this weird deal that was like somewhat publicized and somewhat secret to absorb Credit Suisse because Switzerland was about to fucking collapse.
	Like literally Switzerland almost collapsed because Bill Huang was using these crazy swaps on GameStop shorts as well as other companies.
	And he blew up.
	So Credit Suisse blew up.
	So Switzerland was about to blow up and they did this crazy deal where UBS had to absorb Credit Suisse as well as all of their positions.
	And there's all this weird language in the public filings about that exchange that kind of allude to them being like, we don't fucking want this stuff.
	Don't put this on our balance sheet.
	But to my knowledge, UBS is now holding the leftovers of that whole...
	Fucked up trail.
	And that's just one dude.
	And there was tons of people shorting GameStop to a tune way higher than him.
	So when does the part 2.0 of this story come out?
	I'm expecting it by the end of this year.
	And I have that on relatively solid rumor mill, you know, like journalism type information.
	But also it's an extremely complicated world and the people that are on the hook for this shit will do anything within their power to To quote Ken Griffin, one of the big bad guys of the saga, you have to do anything to live to fight another day.
	And that's how he described how he survived the 2008 financial crisis, and I'm sure that that is how he is surviving the 2021 financial crisis.
	When you said Ken Griffin, I was thinking Peter Griffin.
	Who's Ken Griffin?
	No, Ken Griffin is the leader of Citadel.
	He was like the scapegoat for the whole GameStop thing, and he is a horrible dude.
	He's a horrible dude.
	Piece of shit.
	Fuck you, Ken.
	But there's lots of other people that are also involved that are also complicit.
	Ken is just the scapegoat because he was immediately identified and he was directly tied to the dude, Vlad Tenev, that turned off the buy button at Robinhood.
	It came out.
	Ken lied under oath when he said they had no communication because it later came out that there was direct communication between Citadel employees and Robinhood basically saying we're going to do this because they were fucked if they didn't.
	Okay, that's wild.
	We covered the Robin Hood lawsuit at the time, but that's not fresh in my memory.
	So you're doing this.
	You do a couple of videos of this on TikTok.
	You choose TikTok as your platform.
	I chose it intentionally because I had been dating an Instagram influencer girl.
	She was in the outdoor...
	Um, like adventure camping space.
	And I was trying to get into like, I was trying to get into social media and I thought like, what's unique about me is ultra running.
	Cause I was an ultra running marathon.
	What's the longest you've ever run?
	101 miles.
	Shut up.
	How long did it take you?
	That one took me, uh, 36 hours or something like that.
	34, 35 hours.
	I won't go too far down this, but where was it?
	It was all around my town.
	So everything was shut down.
	And races were shut down.
	And I was like, fuck it, I'll just do it on my own.
	And I knew a bunch of friends and I just kind of called some friends up and was like, hey, can you help me run through the night?
	And I basically wound up running most of it solo.
	And I had one of my really good buddies, Abram, ran part of the night section with me.
	But I just made three really big loops through various like...
	Trail zones around my town.
	You know, it was pretty rough.
	It was rough around the edges, but I got it done.
	And then subsequent ones have been much more enjoyable and much more smooth.
	I did a 50 mile at Bear Mountain.
	Bear Mountain, New York, in 12 hours and 14 minutes.
	That's good, dude.
	My best friend did it in 8 hours and some.
	And I used to do these Spartan Ultra Beasts.
	Those are awesome distances.
	That's a cooler distance than 100 miles, in my opinion.
	We did a marathon in Chamonix, in the French mountains.
	I rolled my ankle and tore a ligament, but I finished it.
	It was beautiful.
	But that's when I realized, like, long distance running, if it's in the mountains and if it's on trail, you can do it forever.
	And it's a whole different...
	So I kind of progressed from skateboarding and snowboarding, which is very skill-based and very, like, body-based to rock climbing, which is also skill-based, but a little less, like, you have to be a prodigy and a little more hard work.
	Um, but also rock climbing has this, like, I love rock climbing.
	I got hurt doing it.
	And that's kind of what got me into natural leader bolt, mostly bolt.
	I was really into trad climbing, which is natural lead where you take your own gear up with you and you place it as you go.
	So you can kind of turn any mountain into a route.
	Not literally, but.
	I love that sense of adventure.
	But I got hurt at one point when I was traveling and I was already getting into running and had running aspirations.
	So I just flipped to running because I couldn't keep climbing for the time.
	But running, what I love about it is that there's really no secret genetic recipe to it.
	There are people that are genetically predisposed to be better at it.
	But realistically, when you're talking about ultra running, I'm not talking about being good at it.
	I'm not talking about being fast.
	I'm not fast.
	I'm huge.
	Everyone that's going to run 50 miles or 100 miles is going to take a trillion steps and 80% of those are going to hurt like hell.
	And so it really has nothing to do with you being like talented.
	It has to do with your mental capacity for pushing and enduring and suffering and making it fun.
	And that is such a cool adventure and it's so beautiful.
	And once you learn how to transform what is physical suffering into emotional and spiritual joy.
	It's like the world is your oyster.
	And those lessons permeate everything you do from then on, right?
	And you know what I'm talking about.
	Absolutely, because when you do some of these longer races, I think everybody has a moment of absolute, it's irrational dread.
	You're like, what the hell am I doing?
	I'm going to die, like literally.
	And that happens in real life.
	It happens when you're sitting down talking to someone and you realize that you just keep walking through it and eventually it'll pass and things will get back to normal.
	Optimism again.
	That's fantastic.
	It's so useful for what I do.
	That's why people ask me, do you get stressed?
	Are you afraid for your life?
	It's like, nah, dude.
	I'm fine.
	What are you going to do?
	I've hurt myself so much more than anyone else could ever hurt me.
	My life is easy right now.
	Nobody asked me that, but I said, yeah, I get stressed, anxiety, general anxiety, but it'll pass, and then one day you'll wake up and it'll feel good.
	One more step, you know, take care of your needs.
	So you want to do that, and then you end up finding your niche in this.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But the other thing is this.
	It's not like pick a question and answer the question.
	As you've discovered, every question and every answer to that question leads to 50 more questions.
	And then you end up sounding like the crazy person.
	You say, it all goes back to CIA.
	It all goes back to Mossad.
	It goes back to Epstein.
	And in a great many ways, in the material sense, it really does.
	Some of these things are heavily intertwined after GameStop.
	And I'm going to save one question for maybe the end of this as to what is the darkest rabbit hole you've ever gone down.
	I gotcha.
	You do GameStop, which is fantastically interesting.
	Well, I didn't actually start there.
	I meant to start there, but I purposely put it off for a super long time.
	And instead, I started Basic, and I got back to GameStop much later, like once I had a million followers, which was great because I didn't get pigeonholed.
	But I...
	I started on TikTok intentionally because I knew that was where you could grow the fastest at the time.
	And I'd never been on TikTok before.
	I'd never made a TikTok before.
	I'd never watched TikTok before.
	But I knew that feature of it because I'd been studying the game a little bit, which is why I mentioned this girlfriend that I'd had enough time working on my thing and also being adjacent to her.
	And she had a much bigger platform at the time to study the game a little bit.
	So when I launched my own thing, I was like...
	A little bit aware of how to do that.
	And it worked immediately.
	And then once I blew up on TikTok, I started growing on Instagram.
	Once I started to talk about the more censored topics on TikTok, I had a friend and mentor that suggested that I go to Twitter.
	And thank goodness that happened then because that saved me.
	So what year is this and what were those?
	This is last year.
	I started May of last year.
	The sensitive issues on TikTok are what?
	Anything pro-Israeli?
	The first things that I noticed, because this was before October 7th, it was CIA and Jeffrey Epstein.
	If you talked about them suppressed.
	Very quickly, videos would get taken down.
	And sometimes you get a strike.
	Even when it's very basic news.
	Not conspiracy theories.
	And this is on TikTok.
	We'll call it a Chinese communist.
	I actually did a whole study of the Chinese thing.
	Because obviously it's Israel stuff that is what got the whole censorship going.
	And it's obviously you can't talk about Israel.
	And the ADL is the one behind.
	When that whole thing happened and they were doing the TikTok ban bill, I purposely made videos about China and about Tiananmen Square and about the Uyghur Muslims and about all these horrible things that China has done.
	Like, all the things that you would say are censored from China.
	And they got great views.
	They did amazing.
	They're still up to this day.
	Zero censorship.
	In a way, it makes sense because to the CCP, that generates and garners fear in the regime.
	So, propagated out west and then everyone's scared of China and the regime.
	The thing about TikTok is early on in my time there, this is way back the first time they tried to ban it.
	They came up with a solution called Project Texas.
	And this is all very public information.
	Anyone can look this up.
	Project Texas was America's way of saying, if you do this, then we'll be okay.
	Because Project Texas, TikTok agreed to send all their data centers to Texas to be overseen by Oracle, which is an American corporation.
	And that way, there would be firewalls between and no Chinese influence could come in.
	And so ever since Project Texas, all of TikTok's data centers have been in Texas.
	Overseen by Oracle, which is literally the CIA, founded by Larry Ellison after he shut down his CIA program called Oracle Program.
	And then he left the CIA and opened Oracle Corporation, which was funded by the CIA as a military industrial contractor for information technology.
	And so they control TikTok.
	And it's no surprise that when you talk about CIA stuff or like the American machine, our empire's propaganda agenda, like transgenderism or any of the political stuff.
	Or Israel.
	You start to get censored really quick.
	So X saved the day.
	Locals saved the day, too.
	Because before I even got onto X, I opened a locals community and started to just get subscribers and produce locals content.
	And that subscriber base, it floated me in those months when it was very touch-and-go.
	Because TikTok pays really well until they ban you.
	We're going to get into the Israel stuff on TikTok.
	Whether or not people think it was causally related, it was definitely temporally correlated.
	TikTok, there is a difference between the TikTok China and the TikTok in America.
	Totally different, yeah.
	I want to get back to the CIA owning or at least influencing TikTok.
	What's that mechanism through which that happens?
	Oracle Corporation.
	Oracle Corporation is owned by Larry Ellison, who owns the entire island next to Lahaina, which is a whole side note.
	The entire island next to Lahaina, which some people are saying is going to be federally salvaged in terms of wasteland.
	Yeah, Larry Ellison is one of the top 10 richest humans in the world.
	Larry Ellison.
	Yeah, Larry Ellison.
	And he is an old school tech billionaire.
	He was a CIA.
	He officially worked for the CIA and had this program called Project Oracle.
	And then he shut that down.
	The next year, he founded Oracle Corporation.
	You can look up a great BuzzFeed article about this if you just type in a couple of the keywords I'm mentioning.
	And Oracle Corporation is a public corporation not affiliated with the CIA, other than that it is a military-industrial-defense contractor in the information space.
	Contractor? Who were the initial investors into the private Oracle?
	The original Oracle was a literal CIA program.
	And then he closed that down, left the CIA, and then he started a public corporation.
	Okay. Like an Apple or a Microsoft or, you know, Amazon, but named it Oracle.
	And it was a, it was founded, it was funded as a defense contractor for the military industrial complex's intelligence arms.
	And it was funded by the CIA and the Department of Defense and the Pentagon because it was running IT for all of them, for all their cloud computing, all their databasing.
	And so when 9-11 happened, Larry Ellison had a whole bunch of hot takes about how this just made it really easy to collect people's data.
	And we should be doing more surveillance, mass surveillance.
	We should be databasing everybody.
	He has a ton of really fucked up, dark sort of like Orwellian quotes around the 9-11 era.
	And his stance is obviously still the same.
	Oracle's in charge of Project Texas, and they're in charge of the databases for TikTok, but they're also in charge of overseeing all the algorithms of TikTok.
	And I didn't know that before.
	And you're telling me this now, and I was always under the impression that it's the CCP that is fixing the algorithms for North American-based TikTok.
	No, that's bullshit.
	In my opinion, that's bullshit.
	The courts allowed TikTok to continue to exist after Project Texas because of Project Texas.
	Because it was a solution that the courts had devised.
	Well, the CIA had devised.
	Because what happened is that when you think back through our media landscape, there was an era of the Wild West on YouTube when these new platforms were allowing information to flow and the establishment, the empire, had not yet realized how powerful free information on the internet was.
	And then...
	YouTube started to get clamped down on because it's Google, right?
	And Google is one of, you know...
	When did Google buy YouTube?
	I don't remember.
	It was before I was paying attention, but it was, you know, like in the mid-2000s, like 2006 to 10-ish, right?
	Maybe a little after, but I think it was around that era.
	And so in that era, it's like, that's when...
	They started to clamp down on, they got Meta under control.
	Well, they got Facebook under control.
	They got Instagram under control.
	They got YouTube under control.
	And for a little while there, they had all the information spaces, including old Twitter, under control, right?
	And we didn't really realize that.
	That's, like, where you get the 2016 election, sort of, like, that era.
	Freedom of speech was, we felt like we were kind of having a freedom of speech environment, but all of them were, you know, in cahoots with the Project Mockingbirds of this day.
	And then TikTok came around as this new sensation from overseas.
	And they opened this American version of TikTok.
	And it had all these features that allowed information to flow really quickly.
	And it became a huge problem really quickly.
	And everyone that's on TikTok to this day still thinks of it as that early phase when TikTok was where you get the real information, when you get the real news.
	Because stuff just goes viral and anyone can go viral and you can see real reporting.
	But that's not actually how it is anymore because now ever since Project Texas, like literally since that hearing, everything starts to get taken down and people are getting banned and people are getting censored and videos are getting taken down because they are now...
	Because the military-industrial complex is extremely concerned with controlling information.
	And they had it all under control, and then TikTok came in and disrupted that space, and they needed a way to get it.
	And Project Texas was how they took it.
	And they basically said, we'll allow you to continue to operate in the U.S. if you, for American safety, basically allow the CIA.
	To have control over it via Oracle.
	And that's how, and I didn't know any of this kind of stuff at the start, but as I started to poke into it, I started to research, how do these things work?
	And how does the CIA work?
	How does military industrial control work?
	And it works through public corporations.
	That's why the CIA was founded, and that's how the CIA was founded, is they used a corporate lawyer, the Dulles brothers, Alan Dulles.
	To use all of his contacts to found an intelligence agency, because the point of an intelligence agency is to conduct secret operations.
	And the way you conduct secret operations is you don't have the government do it.
	Because if the government is doing it, obviously it's the American, like, the trail leads right back.
	And the Constitution applies.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Whereas if you have a private corporation do it, who's your buddy, and then you can like, A, you have a compartmentalized secret program in the CIA that is secretly working with this corporation.
	Or with this organized crime group, as they've done many times in the past.
	And then that corporation does something basically as a front for the CIA.
	And that's a modus operandi that's very common, very normal.
	And so Oracle is just a very perfect example of the exact same process happening all over.
	And it's not even well disguised, because the Oracle connection to the CIA is right out there in the open.
	A lot of the things they do are far more obscured, but that one is really blatant.
	And so that's just...
	How they've been controlling the information space for a very long time until Elon bought Twitter.
	And now Twitter is, you know, public enemy number one.
	And they've tried to take it down many ways, and they're still trying.
	So far, they have not succeeded.
	So you start, I mean, the promoted topics on TikTok, I mean, clearly the transgender madness.
	Dancing and sexualization of young people.
	Okay. We're going to get down to dark rabbit holes on that because that's going to play into the P. Diddy, Jay-Z stuff.
	And then the stuff that really started getting taken down.
	The Epstein's interesting because that's where I first experienced my own censorship on YouTube.
	When I did my first breakdown of the Alex Jones deposition in 2018, it got taken down, removed for hate speech violations, even though it was an analysis of a deposition.
	It was a big fight.
	It came back up, surprisingly.
	But then I noticed, you do any video on Epstein, innocuous, like, NBC-level overview, demonetized or taken down.
	It's because they've got AI bots essentially scraping through every video that gets published now and looking for keywords, and they just start putting keywords in, and anything that mentions those keywords gets...
	But taking down the Epstein in 2018, when was that?
	Oh, in 2018.
	It was 2018, 2019.
	I remember I was...
	That's interesting.
	Before he got convicted.
	Before all the big news was starting to break.
	Yeah. When did he get killed?
	He got killed.
	2019 is when he got arrested.
	And then it was maybe...
	That same year, 2019, when he allegedly hung himself.
	I have to go back and refresh my memory on the timeline.
	It was more recent than that, is what it was.
	Yeah, I've been so deep in the ditty stuff, I'm not even paying attention to his recent stuff.
	Deep in the ditty?
	No, but all that says...
	There's a lot of digging into the past of Epstein.
	But that's the amazing thing, is that clearly, I would say the algorithms knew, but the people in charge of the algorithms knew what they wanted to deter by way of...
	Public promulgation of very prejudicial information.
	They're trying to conceal a dirty, dirty story, which has now exploded in ways that we can't possibly imagine.
	So you have the Epstein also on TikTok, and then more recently the Israeli stuff, which is what everyone has correlated as to the bringing down the hammer to break up TikTok.
	So they had, before October 7th and what broke out in Gaza, TikTok already had a ton of censorship in place, but the issue is that the Gaza stuff...
	Didn't require any specific words to be said.
	What really started to go viral about Gaza was that people in Gaza had phones.
	And so they could just film the destruction.
	They could film what was going on on the ground in real time.
	And that directly controverted what the American-Israeli aligned media apparatus was saying was happening.
	And so inherently, young people on TikTok are just...
	They're naturally going to play to the underdog.
	They're naturally going to see that and want to support the underdog.
	And it's really obvious who's the underdog when everyone has a phone and can film what's really going on.
	And so it kind of bypassed the censorship in a big way.
	And then they started to try to censor it.
	And so you know how watermelon became synonymous with Palestine?
	I did not know that.
	On TikTok.
	On TikTok, but it went everywhere.
	Analogous for what reason?
	The colors of the flag?
	I believe so, but what happened is that first, saying the word Gaza started to get your videos taken down.
	Saying the word Palestine started to get your videos taken down.
	Having the text or having the Palestine flag emoji, all these things started to get censored and taken down.
	People started to create more and more clever ways to basically say unalived.
	Because if you say killed...
	We had already learned to sort of switch our words around to avoid the AI censorship.
	And as they started to try to clamp down on the Gaza thing, people just started to evade and evade and evade and evade.
	And it was really hard for them to continually, because all you need to do is show imagery of destroyed buildings or crying people or whatever it is.
	And it's like, how is the AI going to know that it's a Gaza piece of content if you're not explicitly saying the things?
	And eventually, watermelon became the code word.
	And there's actually, I forget the exact...
	But watermelon, like, signs and watermelon flags and watermelon emojis started to get banned as well in weird places where it's like, wait a minute.
	I mean, it could only be because of the green, red, white, and black of the watermelon.
	Okay. Yeah, the truth is resilient.
	And censorship is, it's hard to censor in a world where people know it's happening.
	It's easy to censor in a world where people are unaware or, you know, just...
	Naive to the censorship and they're going about their lives.
	But the moment everyone knows censorship is happening, censorship draws attention to itself.
	And it starts to become a snowball that gets out of control.
	It becomes the Streisand effect, not even metaphorically speaking.
	Alright, and so TikTok, what's the environment like now on TikTok?
	I do not use it at all because I loathe it.
	I almost never post there.
	I'm one strike away from getting banned.
	Monetization-wise?
	I mean, how does it work?
	Is there short format videos?
	They pay by the thousands of views, which is standard for short form content.
	And they pay very well.
	They pay usually around a dollar per thousand views.
	So I had a $12,000 a month, my second or third month on TikTok, just from TikTok videos.
	Now you're making me want to do it.
	The basic math, at least for the numbers that I always saw, is 2 million views on a video equals $1,000 for the creator.
	For a one-minute video or for like a multi?
	Doesn't matter.
	And now you can do longer format content on TikTok as well.
	Yeah, I jumped on right when they started their 10-minute videos.
	And so they were pushing long videos.
	And mine are naturally good long videos because they're mysteries you want to stay with.
	And so the algorithm loved my shit at first.
	And I got pushed everywhere because of that.
	And I wasn't political at first.
	I was both sides.
	And so everyone was watching my stuff on both sides.
	And they both thought I was on their team.
	And so I got really lucky with that.
	But now I don't ever post because I'm going to get banned.
	And I want to retain that following and retain that presence, but almost all my videos now are about the CIA or Diddy or Israel.
	Something I can't talk about.
	Not the anti-American, but the anti...
	Deep state element of American media control.
	Everything that's censored on TikTok.
	And I used it as a honing device of like, oh, I got censored.
	I'm going to make another video.
	I'm going to make another video.
	But eventually I've gotten enough strikes now and they already banned my backup account that I can't really get around it.
	And just last night I discovered that they took away, they used to have a download feature where I could film my videos in their app because it's a really great video app and it's got a good green screen.
	And I used to just press download and then I would not publish it.
	And I would save it to my drafts and then go to X and publish it on X. And now they just updated the app so that they have, when you press the download, it says download with TikTok watermark or post and download.
	Meaning I can, now they're going to force me to post it to TikTok if I want it downloaded without the watermark.
	But if I do post it to TikTok, my account's going to get banned.
	And so I made a video about Jay-Z last night and I had to screen record the whole video because I can't download it anymore without putting the watermark on because fuck them.
	Wow. And ironically, while I'm screen recording it, my mom texts me about the dinner she's making.
	Oh, dude, I saw that.
	It was quail stuffed with...
	Yeah, she's a fucking amazing chef.
	When I was watching the video, everyone commented on that, right?
	Because it's one of those organic...
	So then I posted a photo of the whole text that she sent with the photo because it was an amazing meal.
	This is her subtle way of trying to convince me to go back to Washington to hang out because it's what they love to do.
	Her and my dad are like...
	There are a lot of things, but home cooks is their favorite.
	And we grew up on...
	So this is her subtle way.
	A, it's what she loves to do to keep her creative juices flowing and just have a fun job every day.
	But also it's like...
	Ian, look what we're eating.
	It was quail stuffed with...
	I don't even remember.
	There was some herb in it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Rosemary and there's duck fat for everything because she loves cooking with good duck fat.
	She's very food-based.
	Her and I both have a Crohn's disease-like autoimmune thing.
	Hers is way worse than mine because she didn't catch it until she was 40. But then we both fixed it with diet.
	Basically, we RFK'd ourselves when I was 17 and she was in her 40s.
	And so we got really red-pilled on healthy food and on how to cook in ways that heal you.
	And so duck fat is everywhere.
	She's making with organic this and garden that.
	It's awesome.
	Well, that is the perfect segue into the news of the, at least the news of last night, which is Jay-Z getting named in a civil suit.
	And this is going to go tangentially in a variety of places, I imagine.
	You've been talking about the P. Diddy stuff for a very, very long time.
	I mean, say, by modern standards, a long time.
	By the media standards, a long time.
	By Liz Crokin's standards, I'm brand new to the scene.
	But by, like, the public masses standards, I was like...
	Who is Liz Croken?
	Liz Croken deserves a ton of credit for this whole thing.
	And she's not the only one, but she's taken so many arrows.
	She is like the Pizzagate journalist, and that's how she gets smeared.
	She was a Hollywood reporter, like a total in the in crowd for a decade or whatever.
	I don't know how long.
	And she was at all the parties.
	She's reported on these people like...
	Like, in person because she used to be in the crew, in the crowd.
	And then I think it was Pizzagate that broke.
	And she started to investigate, like, what's going on here?
	And then she got blacklisted.
	She got pushed out.
	She got slandered.
	They eventually tried to kill her dog.
	She's been smeared ten ways till Sunday, legally attacked, monetarily attacked.
	How did they try to kill her dog?
	I believe poisoning.
	You'd have to go to her page and look it up.
	But she's been reporting on how corrupt these people are.
	She's been reporting on Jay-Z and his crimes for like eight years now.
	She's been deep in these trenches.
	This is what blows my mind about all of it.
	Nothing is new about it.
	And when Harvey Weinstein broke, nothing was new about it.
	To everyone on the know.
	They say a badly kept secret, which is not a secret.
	It was known.
	With Jay-Z, we're going to get into it.
	I don't know these things because I don't care for his music.
	I don't know if that's a sacrilege.
	But everyone's like, yeah, everyone knew about it.
	It was the worst kept secret.
	So Liz Crokett, she's in this living it and been talking about it for years while no one's listening.
	Exactly. But there is one really new thing that broke with the ditty.
	And this is a big part of what kind of blew me up on the Diddy thing, too, because I had just gotten on X when the really salacious Diddy lawsuit first dropped, the Lil Rod lawsuit.
	That was the first time that we had what looked like clear evidence of a blackmail ring.
	And I'll stop you.
	I've got to stop you.
	Not to be rude.
	Because you're presuming knowledge that I think many people might not have.
	I think most people are very familiar with the Diddy video of him assaulting.
	So Cassie was an ex-girlfriend.
	He comes out in the bathroom.
	That video went viral.
	Was that the first initial big break to mainstream this?
	That was the big one, isn't it?
	So Cassie filed a lawsuit.
	Like, a year ago or more now.
	And this is before the video came out.
	But she filed a lawsuit.
	Civil. Yeah, civil suit that included all the kind of stuff that was shown in that video and much, much more.
	Super dark, really depressing and sad read.
	And very brave of her to file and to actually go public with because we know that, like, allegedly, Diddy has killed people before.
	And he did not settle immediately.
	It sat out there for like three days or something like that before he settled it and kind of quashed it with some silence there.
	But it was out long enough.
	And then the settling kind of like told everyone, hey, if you're a Diddy victim, you can get money from him because now we're settling suits.
	And so then this wave of lawsuits from former victims came in.
	And eventually, like eight months later, one of those was a producer named Lil Rod.
	And Lil Rod had worked with him for a specific period of time.
	And this is what broke like Beginning of this year, I believe.
	And Lil Rod's lawsuit was the one that named the executives at Universal Music Group, the Universal Music Group itself.
	They named Diddy and his co-associates, and it talked about the cameras that his houses are wired up with.
	It talked about trafficking people.
	It had all this evidence within it.
	And it's not litigated yet.
	It became the...
	Part of the basis of what's going on now is the RICO case that he's criminally charged with, though a lot of that is from the Cassie suit.
	But in that suit, Lil Rod said that he had evidence and alleged that Diddy is basically running a sexual blackmail operation very similar to Jeffrey Epstein.
	And that was not something that was exactly rumored in the public.
	People had kind of whispered about it, but it was not like that.
	And then I accidentally, like one of my followers put me on the trail of Diddy's head of security was Michael Jackson's head of security when Michael Jackson died.
	And that connection opened up all these other questions of like, are we looking at mob level like control of the music industry?
	And now when you look at Jay-Z's lawyer, there's this whole other funny rabbit hole with it.
	So we started to see that maybe this is not just perverted sickos being rich and mean.
	Maybe this is like a way bigger operation designed to either control American culture or to control the money and the music industry.
	I personally think it's partially to control American culture and partially to control a lot of money laundering, but we don't know yet.
	Cassidy is the video that, that video was from the lawsuit, the lawsuit was settled, and then somehow that video was leaked later.
	The video was leaked later, yeah.
	So the video was not necessarily mentioned, it wasn't mentioned in her suit, but she, I believe in the suit she described that day.
	And from what I understand, someone saw that video and was so repulsed by it, that was the person who leaked it.
	I don't remember who, but yeah, I think it was something like someone in the hotel or something like that.
	Someone, you know, inevitably these things leak.
	Okay, so then Lil Rod.
	So he's alleging the same things because the allegations are that Diddy does this with boys and girls.
	Yeah, I mean, the allegations that Diddy is more gay than straight.
	And that what Diddy really likes to do with girls is he likes to watch really big black dudes have sex with his girlfriend.
	And he masturbates while he watches and is basically like a porno director.
	And then all sorts of other abuse around that.
	And we don't have...
	Thankfully, any graphic descriptions of what he's doing with the kids.
	But there are kids as young as 10 that are bringing suits against him now that they were drugged and raped by him.
	And this is my speculation based upon reporting from people like Liz and reporting from lots of other people in the industry and the rumor mill.
	It sounds like the stuff that's happening with kids is far darker than just a little...
	I mean, obviously, it's kids.
	But it sounds like it's merging on...
	More deeply intertwined with broader industries or broader...
	Possibly satanic.
	Certainly somewhat blackmail-y.
	The moment that you start having adults raping 10-year-olds...
	And Jay-Z's accuser...
	The first Jay-Z accuser, I think, is alleging that they were 13 at the time of the rape.
	And it's 20 years ago, give or take.
	Yeah, I was at a party after the after party after the VMA Music Awards or something like that.
	I forget off the top of my head.
	But basically, the after party of the big events.
	This is happening like...
	In the mainstream Hollywood music industry world, it's not like it's happening on some private island off in the Bahamas.
	I get almost physically ill, but I've been saying it, you say it jokingly, like Hollywood and the music industry, politics as well is like a cesspool of satanic depravity.
	It's not even scratching the surface, and now we're sort of getting a glimpse into this, because it is the lawsuit.
	I don't know.
	It's a Jane Doe who's filed it.
	It's a civil suit, Southern District of New York, filed in October, but amended yesterday or over the weekend to add Jay-Z.
	And it's one of the Tony Busby lawsuits, and Tony Busby is a very high-powered, very high-profile lawyer.
	Greg, not Greg Abbott.
	Is it Greg Abbott?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Greg Abbott's attorney in the impeachment.
	I'm getting mistaken.
	He also, like, he was in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
	Like, he has done a ton of big litigation over the years.
	Yeah, from what I understand, and not a huge, like, trying to think of...
	A bad reputation.
	Not like an Al Sharpton huge reputation.
	Like reputable, respected.
	Yeah, the attorney that brought the little Rod lawsuit that was really salacious, he had a slightly more attackable resume that brought a little...
	You could say it's opportunistic, maybe seeking a civil settlement.
	But Busby is not that.
	Busby is a little bit more unimpeachable.
	And he very directly...
	Famous, like this press conference went...
	It's pretty viral where he said big names will be named.
	We have hard evidence.
	We have videos.
	We're coming after everybody.
	He was saying that executives at big companies are going down, famous celebrities, people you know are going down.
	I think Jay-Z is just the first of many names.
	And so the allegations are that he and Diddy were doing these things, not in broad daylight, but in broad public awareness in the after parties.
	There's things I want to look into in terms of statute of limitations for certain crimes because did you, oh of course you did, it was in your video.
	I'm getting mixed up between Jay-Z and Diddy.
	Jay-Z writes a very, very wordy, me thinks he doth protesteth too much, except he didn't actually deny anything specifically.
	Oh, bring criminal charges.
	Let's go to criminal court.
	Okay. The thing I'm thinking about is, I don't know what the statute of limitations is for that type of crime.
	It might be 15 years, it might be 20 years.
	If she's a minor, does it...
	Does it start to accrue as of adulthood, or are there methods of tolling?
	These are questions that I would have in terms of, like, is there a tolling of a criminal prescription, statute of limitations, if the woman was threatened or whatever?
	I assume there have to exist some exceptions, but it might be him thinking 2D level chess is beyond the statute of limitations.
	Let me say, go after me criminally thinking that it can't be done, but meanwhile, the civil suit has been filed and alleges...
	Evil. Period.
	And he is used to having protection.
	Diddy was used to having protection.
	And he seems to be operating still on this aura of I'm untouchable.
	But my speculation, speculation only, is that...
	If Jay-Z was committing these crimes 20 years ago, he was committing these exact same crimes two months ago.
	And Diddy was filming all of it up until nine months ago.
	There's lots of tapes.
	Yeah, where is the tapes?
	They rated it all, and so someone's got them.
	And when Diddy's civil suits turned into a criminal...
	That criminal charge is structured as a RICO investigation.
	And at first, they just named Diddy as well as his direct co-conspirators.
	But it is structured in a way that we commonly see that they do with RICO suits, where they start with the one, and then they add to it, and they add to it, and they add to it over time.
	From what's in that suit, it appears that that is the exact same group that has whatever they got from those raids and is that larger picture investigation.
	And so I suspect that Jay-Z is only a matter of time and a lot of the other accomplices.
	But the thing is, it's important to realize is that they were both very good friends with the Obamas.
	They both, you know, like Diddy campaigned for Kamala.
	They're both associated with the Clintons.
	Jay-Z has a great photo on the internet of him and Marina Abramovich hanging out head-to-head.
	Marina Abramovich is the one who did the spirit cooking, which was supposed to be an art.
	It was only an art exhibit.
	It wasn't actually talking about cutting yourself.
	She came up big during Pizzagate.
	So they're tied into all these powers.
	This is when it gets to be too much.
	I've dabbled in Pizzagate.
	I know of the Podestas, and I know of someone left a handkerchief with a pizza-related map on it.
	And then you find...
	And then you get to this now, which reeks of Epstein-level extortion depravity, and it's actually just...
	It's two subsidiaries of the same company, is what I'm coming to the conclusion of.
	You're exactly right.
	It's two subsidiaries of the same organized crime network.
	Because organized crime has always been a huge force in this world, and...
	In organized crime, I'm sure there's hierarchies, right?
	I'm no expert, but I try my best to learn.
	And if you just think about it, you know, there's the drug runners, there's the gun runners, there's the human traffickers.
	And whoever is the most powerful in that group are the ones that can control the legal authorities, right?
	If you go back to the 40s, like the mob era, the ones that were the most powerful were Meyer Lansky and his mobsters because they got a photo of J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI.
	Having fellatio with his second-in-command, Clyde Tolson.
	So they had blackmail on the director of the FBI.
	And so the moment that Meyer Lansky got blackmail on Hoover, they had the FBI under their thumb.
	And then they formed what was called the International Crime Syndicate, where they merged the mob and the mafia, and then they just ran the country for like 40 years with no FBI investigations because they had them under control.
	And so the human trafficking side of the black markets...
	Inherently is the most powerful if they can get their blackmail.
	And we live in a world where we're learning that they've had blackmail on everyone.
	For decades.
	To dictate not just...
	I made the black pill of not just foreign policy, climate policy, cultural trends.
	I have to do the tangent.
	When Epstein was, they raided and they were seizing the videos.
	In Epstein's case, a lot of it might have been like actual VHS physical recordings.
	In Diddy, I mean, I suspect a lot of it's going to be digital, which means it's indestructible, so to speak, and probably is in multiple locations already.
	It's widely dispersed.
	When they raided Epstein and then there was a couple of days, was it with you that I was talking about this?
	Were there a couple of days where the video's evidence was There was no chain of command.
	Who knows where it went or who has it?
	It's an amazing thing.
	The Epstein element was political and scientific, without question.
	Not just scientific, but information technology, like AI and digital surveillance especially, and genetic.
	He was very into genetics.
	It all circles around this...
	Creating a master race.
	And this sounds ridiculous, but when you actually dig into who he was funding, he literally was hosting.
	This is why Stephen Hawking showed up in some of the Epstein stuff, because he was hosting all the world's best scientists on his island for private conferences.
	And we're talking the island.
	What was it called now?
	The Epstein Island.
	Little St. James.
	Little St. James.
	And we're talking like Epstein.
	Lolita down to the island.
	This is not just like Lolita from New York to Florida.
	This is the island.
	All these famous scientists.
	Secret cameras in every room.
	Genetic conferences.
	Conferences about the futures of genetics and stuff.
	Because when you start to amalgamate the people and the things he was interested in, it was genetic engineering of a master race of superior human beings.
	Digital mass surveillance of everybody else.
	And sort of like an oligarchical police state where the elites...
	are allowed to do what they want and the pours are basically living in a, you know, technocratic Like, an Orwellian nightmare, really.
	And it's super dark when you look into it.
	And when you put that together with his organized crime, sexual, black male connections, and I mean, he was an Israeli operation.
	He was an Israeli intelligence operation.
	His handler was Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel.
	And also he spent like 10 to 20 years in the IDF as, for a long time, the head of Israeli military intelligence.
	He was one of the most seen contacts of Epstein, Ehud Barak, and he went to the island, he went to the mansions.
	He was clearly the handler.
	Les Wexner was the bank.
	When you look at the network, it's very clearly, this is Israel.
	And that's also tied to the CIA, because CIA and Mossad have been just like that for a long time.
	Some people take offense to the idea that...
	It goes back to Assad or Israel.
	And then others say, well, yeah, but the CIA, Israel, MI6, I think they called them the Five Eyes.
	So, like, I mean, in a way, if anybody wants to feel less guilty about picking on Israel in particular, it's all of this intelligence, which I'm thoroughly convinced it's a blackmail extortion policy dictating insurance policies that they have.
	But just so we're getting now...
	Back to the Jay-Z, back to the P. Diddy, because he's got his political claws, or at least intertwined with the Obamas.
	I think it was Eric Adams who just gave Diddy the keys to New York not long ago.
	Eric Adams then gets indicted on some random charge, which is not that serious, which he'll fight.
	The raid comes right before the election, where a bunch of celebs come out of the woodwork to support Kamala Harris.
	Some get paid, and others might have been doing it for other reasons.
	I mean, I don't even...
	Here's another connection that's pretty fun that I just stumbled across this morning.
	Liz Croken was interviewing Jaguar Wright.
	Jaguar is a former backup singer for Jay-Z.
	She's been in the industry a long time.
	She worked with The Roots, and she's a known conspiracy theorist.
	She's very vocal about all this trash and has been for a long time.
	And Liz was interviewing her, and Jaguar was like, I've been knowing this.
	And so this is kind of convoluted, but...
	And Busby, who brought the suit, who just named Jay-Z, he's the lawyer that just named Jay-Z in this suit, he was getting sued by a sort of an anonymous person somehow.
	And Jaguar said, oh, I knew that was Jay-Z suing him for months and months and months.
	Because when you look at the lawyer that's in charge of that suit going back at Busby...
	It's Jay-Z's lawyer.
	Was it a suit based on extortion or threats of accusation?
	Something like that, right?
	To try to defame the whole process, to try to protect Jay-Z, essentially.
	It was Jay-Z's lawyer, Alex Spiro.
	And she's like, I knew that that was Jay-Z.
	So it has since come out that it...
	Busby just posted a statement saying, Jay-Z is suing us through his lawyer, Alex.
	So that's kind of being confirmed.
	But at the time, they were trying to obfuscate it under some other entities as though it wasn't Jay-Z.
	But Jaguar was like, no, it was Alex Spiro.
	And so it was obviously Jay-Z that's trying to sue ahead of this.
	And when you look into Alex Spiro, the scary part is he is also Elon Musk's lawyer.
	But he's also represent he represents Mr.
	Beast. Now that the whole weird pedophile and transgender thing is happening in the Mr.
	Beast app, that that's a super.
	I felt like I was the weirdest person growing up and weird as parents.
	And I tell my kids, we're the normalest people that you know despite what you think.
	There's no normal people left anymore.
	At least not in these positions of power, influence, and politics.
	Because they get given the spaces, right?
	And just another quick, hilarious.
	So this lawyer, Alex Spiro, who is Jay-Z's lawyer, he shows up in all these weird places, including he was the lawyer.
	He was hired.
	So you remember Tiger King?
	Yeah, for sure.
	Carol Baskin fed her ex-husband to the Tigers?
	Allegedly. Allegedly.
	He's never been found.
	Allegedly. So that dude's family hired Alex Spiro to try to find him.
	After the Tiger King came out.
	Because it kind of brought new...
	So this guy's like a celebrity lawyer.
	And that's just a funny connection.
	But he's been tied to Jay-Z for a long time.
	Elon Musk a ton.
	But then also he's done big things with Meek Mill and Killer Mike and Yo Gotti Chance the Rapper.
	So he's represented the famous rappers in all sorts of defamation stuff.
	The Tiger King thing.
	And... He's basically been tied to...
	Oh, he was this attorney for Eric Adams this year.
	It's a big incestuous family.
	Exactly. So it's like, interesting.
	This dude is...
	He's one of the guys.
	I could see him being one of the lawyers that everybody wants to have.
	I mean, once you specialize in it, it makes sense.
	I'm not trying to say that he's necessarily dirty.
	I just thought it was hilarious.
	No, it is hilarious.
	But it's also like everybody, in some sense, kind of needs a Michael Cohen until they become too much of a liability.
	Coming back to Jay-Z and his letter where he's like, I'm the good guy.
	Like, you're defaming me.
	Well, A, he's trying to countersue in advance to protect himself.
	But also, like Liz and other people are pointing out, like, Jay-Z, you're best friends with Diddy.
	You're flying around with no one.
	It's not possible that if it's true for one, it's not true for the other, or that they can say, I didn't know.
	Jay-Z tries to paint himself all nice in the letter as though he protects children.
	He's like, you're the evil one for defaming me.
	It's like, okay, Jay.
	Let's go to court.
	Let's see.
	Holy hell.
	So that's the Jay-Z element to that, which is just added.
	I don't know who else.
	Jay-Z, he's married to...
	And that's not to mention what was alleged in the alleged Kim Porter book, which is...
	P. Diddy's dead ex-wife where this book got published that she allegedly wrote and then sent out as a protection file.
	How did she die?
	She died of pneumonia.
	Very suspicious pneumonia.
	15 years ago or something.
	A while ago.
	At first, this book got published and it went up on Amazon and I bought it before it got taken down and I've got it.
	I've read it all.
	It's amazing.
	Why did it get taken down?
	Because it's fake.
	It's defamatory.
	Shut the front door.
	Kim Porter's dead, right?
	So it was published by Jamal T. Millwood on behalf of Kim Porter.
	Jamal T. Millwood is like an old alias that's kind of associated with Tupac.
	It's basically like published by Tupac.
	And then the dude that actually did publish it, eventually he did an interview on the Art of Dialogue podcast, basically coming out to be like, I am the guy that...
	And he says that the person that had had the file, who was the friend of Kim that had...
	She'd given it to.
	She had contacted him.
	So he's like an attorney that does this kind of stuff.
	So it makes sense that he was chosen.
	And allegedly, he says that the person that had the blackmail file, the flash drive with all the stuff on it, asked him to use the name Jamal T. Millwood on behalf of Kim because there was a love triangle with Tupac back in the day.
	But in that book, when you read it, and it's obviously fake.
	It's all made up.
	It's totally fake.
	I don't know.
	The way they dismissed it so fast is suspicious.
	Because in it...
	Once you understand the trick, and they've done this over and over again with things that we now know were not fake.
	And the more they say it's fake, some might think the less fake it is.
	And when you watch this Art of Dialogue interview with the dude that has the...
	Files, apparently.
	It's quite convincing.
	And he's very confident.
	And he's putting his reputation on the line to say that, yes, we do have the files.
	Yes, there are videos on that flash drive.
	Yes, they will be released.
	Yes, this book was written by Kim.
	And he says that he did very little changing.
	It's literally written in Kim's words.
	And when you read it, it's like...
	It feels like it was written by a woman that was there that understood all these things.
	And it's lots of little details about the murder of Tupac, the murder of Biggie, how Jay-Z entered this.
	So Jay-Z entered the scene because he was Biggie Smalls' little buddy at the time.
	When Biggie Smalls got killed, Jay-Z, alleged in the book, went to Diddy, who was in charge of the game at that point.
	And he was managing Biggie.
	And Jay-Z went to him, allegedly, and Kim Porter was allegedly there.
	And he said, And he ratted on Biggie.
	And he ratted out that Biggie and Tupac were going to go start their own label.
	And Diddy was furious, obviously.
	And Diddy asked him, Jay, Carter, why are you coming to me with this?
	And Sean Carter, Jay-Z, was like, because I want to move up.
	Fuck that Biggie guy.
	And so allegedly, Jay-Z ratted out Biggie Smalls.
	And that led to Diddy not protecting him from the hit that killed him.
	And that's how Jay-Z came onto the scene.
	And that was the start of Jay-Z and Diddy's really, really close friendship.
	And they came to rule the rap industry together.
	And so that book, if it's true, allegedly, really shines a light on their relationship and on Jay-Z's involvement right from the start and on their relationships with minors right from the start and them having sex together with each other many times over the years because they both prefer men.
	Often. Oh my goodness.
	Now, I'm putting together a piece of this.
	There was a video of Tupac in high school where he came off very, very effeminate.
	Very gay.
	No judgment.
	It wasn't hip-hop Tupac.
	It was like 18-year-old dance class level.
	I don't know what the story is with that video.
	In the book, Kim Porter alleges that the beef between Diddy and Pac...
	It alleges that Diddy...
	Put the head out on Pac and basically killed Pac.
	But in the book, it alleges that Diddy would often ask Kim Porter to have threesomes with men, with Diddy.
	And it started with, I'll be sure, the father of her child.
	And when she got weirded out...
	His name is Albie Schur.
	I feel like it's idiocracy.
	It's like, sure or not sure.
	And so the first description of a threesome with Diddy, after she had started using butt plugs on him and stuff, and it was all gross.
	It's really gross.
	She alleges that the first time that she was with Albie Schur and Diddy, that she got super fucking weirded out and had to leave.
	And she's like, I'm done.
	I'm not doing this.
	She left.
	And they stayed and kept fucking each other.
	And so that's the theme of Diddy's sexual encounters throughout.
	And it alleges that he tried to have that happen with Tupac.
	And Tupac was like, fuck you, I'm not gay.
	And he blew it up and broke it off and that started a beef between them.
	And that eventually led to him getting killed.
	But you see that video and it's like, he looked pretty fucking gay in that video.
	So I don't know.
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	Definitively effeminate.
	What is the book?
	The book is called Kim's Lost Words, and it is no longer available on Amazon.
	So it's now basically a collector's item.
	I have a copy.
	It's in the van.
	This is not like, oh, I'm too important.
	I don't care enough about the details to read that book.
	Oh, it's amazing.
	It's only this long.
	It takes you like 45 minutes, and you're through the whole thing.
	Is it on Audible?
	I bet you can find it on there.
	Okay, I might have a thing.
	Worth it.
	I have limited space in my brain.
	I'm not sure I want to fill it with that, but I think I might have to for research.
	It fills in tons of details.
	It's super interesting.
	And especially, I grew up on hip-hop.
	So a lot of that was before I was of age to listen.
	But... I was really into the Northwest hip-hop scene, and so I inherently was looking backwards.
	Northwest? So the Seattle?
	Who were the hip-hop guys?
	It's where Macklemore came from, and he was the one guy that made it out, but there was this whole movement of what was called conscious hip-hop at the time, so to speak, of local artists that were like...
	From the Seattle area and the surrounding area that we're rapping about real shit.
	Really high quality lyrics and instrumentalism about the plight of the inner city and about geopolitics and about just...
	Real shit.
	But it never broke into mainstream rap, although it was way fucking better.
	This was the era where we had DMX and we had Ice Cube and we had Diddy and Jay-Z.
	And then we have all these rappers actually writing amazing lyrics that aren't breaking in because it's a controlled space.
	And if you're not going to rap about thugs, guns, hoes, bitches, drugs, you don't get the deal.
	And you'll notice that the one record that Macklemore went really big on when he signed that deal and he made it to the mainstream, he made it big.
	All those songs are, like, about drugs and, like, thrift shop and, like, money and making money.
	No, and ironically, he had that one song about not selling out to the producers who tell him how much he gets at the end of the deal.
	Now that you mention all of this, who's controlling the music industry?
	Because now that you mention it, and we're talking, you know, you talk science, you talk politics, and you talk culture.
	And what has always driven me nuts is the rubbish coming out of...
	Hip-hop culture, not just black, but white as well.
	It's rubbish.
	And it's designed to make us into sluts, and to make us drink and drug, and to make us fuck our lives away, and to be criminals.
	It's designed to create a system that makes more blackmailable people, that makes more prison population in the black communities, and that makes consumers that are mindless just live to work and then party, and then work and then party, and have tons of partners.
	So who controls it all?
	And now at the risk of...
	Let's go there.
	Getting canceled.
	Who controls it?
	Universal Music Group is published 33 out of the 100 Billboard Top 100 songs of last year.
	Universal Music, 33 of the top 100 top songs.
	Album-wise?
	I don't think they release albums anymore.
	They are huge.
	So it's Universal, Sony, and Columbia.
	How intertwined are all three of these corporate overlords?
	And they're all owned by Jewish people.
	Sony is a little more complicated.
	But look at Michael Jackson's whole thing there.
	And I'm not saying that it's all Jews.
	No, it's just people who happen to be.
	And the people that are in charge of those music labels are Jewish.
	And it's important to understand the Jewish mobs.
	Long history.
	The Jewish people and the black people in the music industry, and this is not a secret and this is not a conspiracy theory, the black people and the Jewish people in the music industry very much had a thriving relationship where they helped each other get by because the Jewish people were great businessmen and the black people were great artists and they basically formed the modern music industry together.
	Kind of inherently put the Jewish people on top always in that relationship because if you're the businessman and the lawyer, then you're kind of in charge of the artists, so to speak.
	But that was a collective creation that they made.
	But it just so happens that the music industry is really good for money laundering and has been used for money laundering ever since the 30s and 40s and maybe before as well.
	So the music industry has a long history of the mob, the criminal Jewish mob, and the mafia as well, but mostly the Jewish mob, hence why a lot of Jews work in the music industry.
	Deeply intertwined with the music industry.
	And to this day, when you actually look at who owns all these companies, a huge number of them are Jewish people.
	From Lyre Cohen, who is Jay-Z's manager.
	His name is Lyre Cohen?
	Lyre Lyre.
	I've heard different people pronounce it different ways.
	And I used to say Lyre, and then I got corrected to Lyre.
	And I'm not trying to be snide about it.
	Don't worry.
	I'm not sensitive about it.
	No, I know.
	I'm just making jokes.
	But named...
	So, Lear Cohen's not been named in any suits yet, but there's Len Blavatsky, there's Blavatskin.
	But in the Lil Rod suit, I'm actually blanking on his name right now, which is really weird.
	I talk about it all the time.
	That'll come back in a second.
	Lucian Grange.
	Lucian Grange is the CEO of Universal Music Group.
	And in the Lil Rod lawsuit, it alleges that he was at the Diddy parties.
	He was funding them in a way that he knew.
	That they were drugging the girls and not the guys.
	That there were minors there.
	That there were guns and drugs.
	He knew.
	It's part of fomenting the very culture that they're trying to capitalize.
	Lucian Grange is way up at the top of that.
	It just so happens that his son, Elliot Grange, is Ice Spice's manager.
	Ice Spice is his son's big ticket idol.
	It just so happens that Taylor Swift is Lucian Grange's big ticket item.
	Then you know how Taylor Swift started having this Is she the one that was flashing the gang symbols?
	Yeah, she kind of looks like she has Down Syndrome, but all she does is twerks.
	All the time.
	I do not.
	On every stage, that's literally all Ice Spice does is she flashes gang symbols.
	Is she the one who was flashing the Satan symbol of the football game?
	Okay, fine.
	That was Ice Spice.
	That was Ice Spice.
	She has nothing to do with the Spice Girls.
	No, not at all.
	But they probably gave her that name because...
	Anyway, someone gave her the name Ice Spice and they elevated her to fame and his name was Elliot Grange.
	Sorry. That's Lucy and Grange's son.
	Suddenly, they started...
	Why is Taylor Swift best friends with iSpice?
	There is no logical reason for that.
	Other than that, you're going to be friends with iSpice because that's my son's big ticket item and we need to make her a big ticket item.
	And it really is just a coincidence that suddenly all of the Swifties are now watching the twerk show when they go to watch Taylor Swift.
	So you have just twerk-pilled.
	All those cute little, like, innocent little white girls that were, did you for Taylor?
	It's so great!
	Oh my gosh, twerking!
	Right? Just think about it.
	Universal Music Group is also the ones that published Sam Smith's Unholy, which is literally like it was Sam Smith dressed up as the devil at the Grammys and they had the trans artist that was the other artist.
	I forget his name.
	That's another one where he got fucked by the devil in his music video.
	But I'm talking about Kim Petrus.
	Kim Petrus and Sam Smith are the artists on Unholy and Kim Petrus is like the first highly successful trans.
	I don't know who that is.
	You don't need to.
	She, he, she, girl, Kim Petras, so now a woman, born a boy, now a girl.
	Transitioned really early at like 13 and that's one of her claims to fame.
	She was from Europe and had to petition to...
	Anyways, now she's in a cage with fire flaming and she's obviously dressed like fucking nothing and Sam Smith is dressed like literally the devil and there's devils all around at the Grammys in 20...
	I do remember.
	I remember that vaguely.
	The satanic panic.
	And so it's like those artists are also managed by Lucian Grange, right?
	Over and over, you look at this whole industry and you're like, oh my gosh, they're all weirdly going satanic and undermining Christian value.
	And I'm not even a Christian.
	I was not born a Christian, although I am now seeking out Christianity because as I've done all this research, clearly they're taking the devil very seriously.
	They're taking Satan as though he was real.
	And they're injecting it into our culture at every possible angle.
	And they're injecting sexuality and porn and just...
	Degeneracy. That was perfect.
	Bingo. The thing is...
	Some people get sensitive or defensive, like they, and then people think they, the Jews.
	They're Jewish.
	I don't think any of this has anything to do with Judaism, but some people call me very naive, and they say, viva, read the Talmud, this is all the satanic.
	The Talmud is usually problematic, but not all Jews are with the Talmud.
	The funny thing is, the people who very much hate...
	The Jews read more of the Talmud than the Jews that they hate.
	I think you're probably right.
	But here's an angle that is worth talking about, is that it has nothing to do with the Jewish religion.
	And it has to do with organized crime and state government subverting American culture.
	Because when you feed this nastiness into our culture, what does it accomplish?
	It accomplishes more broken childhoods and broken families who need more prescriptions of drugs.
	They'll profit.
	Who are more likely to wind up wage slaves with no future.
	Pause it there also because then you make the Taylor Swift connection.
	And then I go Travis Kelsey and then the both of them endorsing Pfizer.
	Bingo, right?
	And then you also wind up with a larger prison population.
	Especially among the black community, they're happy.
	Then you wind up with more people that are winding up with sexual deviancies and potential blackmail in the future, both people that become in positions of power as well as just your average person that is either addicted to porn or addicted to drugs or addicted to alcohol.
	You wind up with...
	Fewer nuclear families because now you're breaking down the family unit.
	You're breaking down the nature of relationships because everyone is just like tindering and sexing and all this degeneracy is being infused into our children's minds.
	You start to look around at the various things that this music industry is doing and organized crime loves it.
	The corporations love it.
	The intelligence agency Deep State loves it.
	The blackmailers love it.
	And they're the ones controlling it all.
	They're the ones that are in charge of the people that are in charge of all this music.
	And it's not the artist writing these songs.
	It's the labels.
	It's the people the labels hire write the songs and then they put on the stage and then they select the person that's willing to be the piece of shit that's on stage.
	Like, real artists with real talent need to be controlled.
	Like, look at Kanye.
	Kanye has real talent.
	Kanye wrote his songs.
	Like, Kanye came out of nowhere and Kanye could do what the fuck he wanted.
	He was like the biggest sensation ever.
	And when Kanye started to be a problem...
	This is a recurring theme, like with Michael Jackson.
	When someone with real talent comes along and makes it big in the music industry and they start to get their own ideas, you suddenly have to do something about it or they're going to start talking about what they want to talk about.
	And in both Michael Jackson and Kanye's...
	What they started talking about was this kind of...
	They were pretty blunt about just the Jews in the music industry, but what I'm looking at is it looks like kind of mobsters.
	It looks like they were being controlled by the mobsters that were the handlers of this blackmail-y kind of intelligence network, and they started to speak out.
	And Michael Jackson died of a mysterious overdose, and then his head of security that was there at the time...
	It goes to Diddy.
	And Kanye got texted by his personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, that basically said like, hey, I'm going to send you to La La Land where we're going to drug you out so hard you'll never see your kids again.
	This dude used to work in Canadian military intelligence where he tested drugs that are top secret, right?
	And for some reason, the personal trainer is telling Kanye he's going to go and medicate the hell out of him until he gets MKUltrad out of his mind.
	Both of those are instances of if a talented person comes along, they need to be controlled or put down.
	And then we've seen it happen in a few instances so far where they get put down.
	And so they actually want to promote people with no talent.
	People like Meek Mill.
	Because if you have no talent...
	Who's Meek Mill?
	Exactly. Meek Mill is one of Diddy's butt buddies.
	And there's a famous video, a video that went around where Diddy and him were playing tennis and Meek Mill's like in his like...
	Stupid little tennis outfit.
	And Diddy's like, Meek, you just lost.
	Jump around like a little bunny rabbit.
	Jump around like a bunny.
	And Meek Mill's hopping like this.
	I love you, Diddy.
	I love you.
	I'm looking at the picture.
	I have no idea who he is.
	But the Meek shall inherit the earth.
	They're even instilling biblical names in them.
	And so they have just been promoting these talentless shills of rappers and of artists for so long because Yeah, Gigi.
	No, I love your dog.
	She did this thing where she like rubbed her face with her paws and she looked just like a bear.
	It was beautiful.
	She's very adorable.
	Yeah, Gigi's hanging out in the studio today because we're on the road.
	Yeah, you just lay down, baby.
	And so they tend to promote people with no talent because they're so much easier to control.
	Because if you've given a nobody, you know, everything they've ever wanted and all the girls and drugs and money and parties that they could ever want.
	You don't even need to have sexual blackmail on them.
	You can just be like, bitch, I will take that all away.
	Dance, monkey.
	Hence the song Dance Monkey.
	That was when I first saw who she was.
	I didn't know she was Australian.
	The lyrics to the song were no deeper than Dance Monkey.
	Once you open your mind to just the fact that symbolism is powerful and Musicians are creative people and symbols are the language of creative people, not to mention of cults.
	Culture and cults.
	There's a fine line.
	And when you start to look at the music industry and Hollywood and you start to look at the symbolism that is being used and how it's being used and ask yourself why and you overlay that with what we know about Diddy and now Jay-Z and everything else that's going on here and Epstein.
	Epstein was deeply tied into Hollywood.
	A lot of those ties got covered up because they didn't want it to keep getting unraveled but look into Peggy Seagal.
	She was Epstein's access to a lot of the Hollywood circles, a lot of the Hollywood parties and Peggy Seagal was One of the most influential networkers in Hollywood.
	She was famous for her book of contacts and she was the person that would put on the Oscar parties that would get you the Oscar.
	She organized Epstein's got out of jail party where Prince Andrew got caught and had to do the famous interview that he totally botched.
	She organized that party.
	On Jeffrey Epstein's behalf, and she invited Prince Andrew, and she got blacklisted to hell and never mentioned and never brought up because she was really close with Epstein, and she was his access.
	And when you think about, oh, who else is in that book of 33,000 contacts that she's so well-known for, and why is she sneaking Epstein into Hollywood parties?
	Suddenly you start to realize Epstein was all over Hollywood, too.
	Yeah, I have no problem accepting that.
	Holy cows.
	Well, okay, I've got to ask you the one thing, because we're talking culture, we're talking music, and the depravity.
	I don't know how we got onto the Abercrombie and Finch, and how this might intertwine, but it's something that should probably be brought to the public consciousness.
	It's not the darkest thing.
	The darkest thing that I can think of is people alleging what was on Anthony Weiner's laptop with Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton, which has not been corroborated or substantiated rumors.
	But the Abercrombie& Finch is relatively recent, and I'm flabbergasted that I've sort of considered myself to be enveloped in this world.
	Hadn't really heard about it.
	Yeah, I forget his full name.
	Someone Jeffries?
	Stephen Jeffries?
	The CEO of Abercrombie& Fitch just got indicted for running a gay sex trafficking ring using Abercrombie& Fitch and their models.
	When you unpack it, basically what it's...
	And we're talking like he would fly models out to places, lock multiple young boy male models, not all of them even of age, into a room with security that would keep them there by force until him and his other older men buddies were through with the sexual...
	And I just, I want people to know that you're not, nobody's wrong.
	It's directly in the lawsuits.
	Former Abercrombie& Finch chief Mike Jeffries arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.
	I mean, it's like, not Epstein 2.0 in terms of scale or scope.
	It's just like, it's the same branch of the same network.
	A subsidiary of the same sex trafficking company.
	And I'm not being facetious when I say subsidiary.
	Mike Jeffries was put in as CEO of Abercrombie& Finch right after Abercrombie& Fitch was purchased by L Brands, the limited, Les Wexner's company.
	Les Wexner is the bank of Jeffrey Epstein.
	He's Victoria's secret.
	How is Abercrombie& Fitch not out of business right now?
	I don't believe I've ever bought, knowingly, Abercrombie.
	They should be because Abercrombie& Fitch is also Hollister.
	Hollister is a subsidiary of Abercrombie& Fitch.
	Any 80s, 90s, 2000s kids, we remember going to the malls and it's like...
	Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie& Fitch, Hollister, Top Topic, you know, and they're always all across from each other and they all smell intensely and they've got the male models out front and all that shit.
	All three of Abercrombie& Fitch, Hollister, and Victoria's Secret.
	We're literally Jeffrey Epstein Networks' sex trafficking rings.
	He was recruiting his female models straight out of Victoria's Secret, and that's how he was luring them to places.
	That whole business was owned by Leslie Wexner, who is the most deeply tied into the whole Epstein thing of anyone.
	Leslie Wexner had given Jeffrey Epstein power of attorney over his entire estate, meaning that if Jeffrey Epstein had wanted to, he could have walked into a room in secret in another country and sold the entire business of Victoria's Secret with his own signature without ever consulting Les Wexner for any price to anyone at all because he had full power over Leslie Wexner's entire estate.
	That's how close that relationship was.
	Les Wexner selected Mike Jeffries to lead Abercrombie& Fitch when he bought it.
	Then we discover that Abercrombie& Fitch was just a gay boy trafficking network where they were selecting male models for the trafficking.
	Explain this because it will be the darkest of black pills anybody's going to swallow.
	The mechanism through which they did this.
	Allegedly. Allegedly.
	Allegedly. They recruit models.
	We want to be a model, right?
	You look great.
	And so the models come into the modeling pipeline.
	They scout them.
	And then basically it's like the higher ups.
	Basically just pick and shoot, and they're like, yeah, we'll fly you over to Venice or to Naples or to Paris, and you're going to do a shoot.
	And it directly says in the lawsuit that they would tell them that they were going to a photo shoot, like the young boys, like 16 to 20, and they would tell them they're going to a photo shoot in Paris or wherever, and they would show up expecting to do a photo shoot with no other weirdness.
	At all.
	And then they would basically wind up being told, actually, you got to do some sexual favors to make it.
	And it wound up being directly in the lawsuit talking about more or less Diddy Freakoff type of events, but where you're locked in a space with Mike Jeffries and his buddies and probably other people he was selling these services to until they were satisfied.
	And that included, they directly allege, injecting penises with Viagra in order to keep...
	I assume the boys that were straight that didn't want to engage in these acts, hard to keep on performing, as well as lots of other drugs of various natures named and unnamed in those lawsuits.
	So basically, they were forced to have all sorts of gay sexual orgies, and not all of them were even gay.
	A lot of them were straight and did not want to comply.
	And they said that they literally had bodyguards that would close the doors and keep you there by force until you were done performing.
	And that went on.
	I think there's between 10 and 20 men that are in that suit.
	I forget exactly how many.
	So the entire Abercrombie& Fitch, Hollister, and that's the only one that we know about so far.
	But that is all a boy sex trafficking ring.
	Victoria's Secret is all a girl sex trafficking ring.
	Both are the Epstein network.
	And so that's like, how much of our culture is actually just sex trafficking, right?
	How many of these businesses are just sex trafficking rings?
	And how are they still in fucking business?
	Hey, it's like, oh, it's just the CEO, so it's not the company.
	Who was I just talking to about the CEO having done something bad?
	Oh, cripe, it'll come to me in a second.
	UnitedHealthcareCEO? It's been a slow news week.
	It's wild.
	And by the way, in all of this, Daniel Penny was acquitted.
	I'll do a separate video on that later on, people.
	What was the thing, I mean, I don't know if it was just a rumor, I just remember hearing it, but not being politically conscious or at least conspiratorially conscious of the Wayfair human trafficking.
	Oh, I don't know a ton about it because I was not paying attention at the time, but I went back into it more recently as I was sort of like retelling the story of Pizzagate.
	I'm convinced that whatever they told me was a conspiracy theory, I'm now inclined to believe is true until proved to the contrary.
	The short version of what Wayfair was, was that Wayfair was like a site where they were selling, you know, items like filing cabinets and shelves and just shit, you know, like a used stuff site.
	And people noticed that there was like filing cabinets for sale for like $16,000, $32,000 for just a regular filing cabinet.
	And its name was things like, I'm not going to remember the names because these are people's names, but like Vanaschino.
	Or even more specific, because that kind of sounds like a French.
	I mean like Vanessa, filing cabinet, 32-inch, whatever, $40,000.
	And it was over and over and over again, a whole bunch of filing cabinets and shelves and things with all these weird names.
	And people noticed that those names were the last names of missing kids.
	I can see how people can think this.
	And it's like over and over and over, spelled exactly the same.
	And when you look at the side-by-sides of like, why are there filing cabinets for sale for $40,000?
	And they're naming them.
	And at first it's like, it's a crazy conspiracy coincidence.
	But then just recently, the Etsy thing broke where Etsy had all these picture JPEGs of pizza that were for sale for like $10,000 JPEG of a kid eating a pizza.
	And a whole bunch of them.
	And some of them had descriptions of what kind of clothes they came with or what kind of condition they came in.
	And it was just like, this is fucking weird.
	And as soon as that broke, it all disappeared again.
	And it all covered up.
	It's just a conspiracy theory.
	But like realize that the human trafficking, the child sexual abuse material, like CSAM, like child porn networks, child trafficking networks, the Internet is an extremely lucrative way to sell these products.
	Right. And they do sell them on the dark web in sort of like vetted buyer pools where you can be a little more open about what's going on theoretically.
	But they that whole industry is sitting there looking at the open Internet and thinking all these people out here that are watching all this depraved porn and just like there's all these pedophiles in the regular world that don't know how to use the dark web that aren't that committed.
	But like might curiously like and we over and over see these little.
	And it's happened over and over and over again in multiple different instances on different websites, not just Wayfair and Etsy.
	There's been other instances too.
	And it just all is the same thing.
	And it's like, how many times does it have to happen before we acknowledge that this is real?
	I mean, we have, what, 32,000 acknowledged missing children?
	Well, that's right.
	To steelman the...
	Or 300,000.
	It's several hundred thousand.
	To steelman that, it's like, okay, well, there's a lot of missing kids and a lot of names in there, so you could probably draw some correlation.
	But filing cabinets for an unjustifiably high price makes no sense.
	The Etsy thing I did hear about as well, there's no innocuous explanation to it.
	It's just a question of what is going on.
	And going back to the Podesta, There's no innocuous explanation for I found a pizza-related handkerchief with a pizza-related map on it.
	Do you want it?
	I think the more crazy one is actually Obama flew $65,000 worth of pizza and dogs to a private party at the White House.
	Assume we're using the same channels.
	Who flies pizza and hot dogs?
	I would check that one.
	I remember one of them.
	Had been confirmed to be false.
	That one is very real.
	That one's for sure, for sure real.
	There is another one that is about...
	I forget.
	It might have been within the context of the Podesta emails.
	Yeah, there's a few that got faked, especially about Obama, to try to draw him in more.
	But the $65,000 worth of dogs is straight out of the WikiLeaks emails.
	And I've confirmed that over and over and over again.
	And when you think about that, it's like, A, the price, $65,000 worth of hot dogs and pizza, impossible.
	But B, Who is flying hot dogs to a private party?
	Because they said what city it was from, too.
	I think it might have been Chicago to the White House.
	You don't fly hot dogs and pizza to a private party.
	And Obama shows up in the photos on the Instagram account of the pizza place where all the weird shit.
	Kind of came up this really weird Instagram account where they are like literally talking about kill rooms and they have pictures of babies with like all sorts of weird.
	You see the art that Podesta had.
	And Obama's in one of those photos playing ping pong with a kid like at one of their parties at this random pizza parlor.
	It's very strange.
	We're not even talking about his buddy Mike from his childhood, his childhood friend Mike.
	I don't know if that was the darkest one, but it's probably the good segue into one of the...
	We can briefly touch over this, yeah.
	What's the darkest rabbit hole you've ever gone down?
	The darkest rabbit hole is vast, but the access point that will let you know if you want to go down it or not is to look up the YouTube podcast interview between Alondra Markman and Anika Lucas.
	Anika is spelled A-N-E-K-E.
	Alondra Markman and Anika Lucas.
	And they are both satanic ritual abuse survivors.
	But Alondra Markman is the one being interviewed on Anika's podcast.
	And Alondra is a man who...
	He alleges a whole lot, but he alleges that he was born into a satanic ritual abuse family that is part of this trafficking network and the satanic networks, like the cult networks in our world, and that he was groomed from an early age to be a child cage fight death match fighter.
	And so as a like 7 to 11 year old boy, give or take, he...
	would go to like underground secret parties at underground locations like in big cities like New York and they would and rich people would come and pay to watch children fight to the death and that he killed many many children because he's still alive obviously and that he later he was they were grooming him to be an actor but he froze up in his interview because these kids are abused so they have multiple personalities and his multiple personalities he says did not really like They kind of froze him up, and he couldn't quite be fluid in an acting world, and he kind of fucked his interview up.
	So instead, they sent him to Mexico to a breeding compound where he was basically pumped full of hormone-based drugs to be in a breeding state constantly.
	And from age 14 to 20 or something like that, 14 to 16, he basically bred with 20 women a day all day long, every single day or something like that.
	And he says he met Jeffrey Epstein, I think, on two occasions and was in these whole networks.
	That rabbit hole in general is the darkest rabbit hole there is, is the satanic ritual abuse networks.
	And there are dozens and dozens and dozens of various survivors, victims, all throughout.
	Because the inherent realization at the end of that rabbit hole is that...
	Rich people aren't buying the ability to have sex with children because they want a young person exclusively.
	Rich people want what is not for sale.
	And so when a Jeffrey Epstein client is paying to have sex with the 16-year-old or the 18-year-old, they can get a willing prostitute that's 18 years old.
	But a lot of these people we're seeing in these cases, they're actually paying for the girl who's 18 who kind of needs to be coerced or forced because they want that experience.
	That's what that person wanted to purchase.
	If they wanted a hooker who is 17, you can find that.
	They don't want that.
	They want the process of having someone that's not for sale.
	They want that.
	And so when you get into the satanic ritual abuse stuff, the children's stuff, some of these...
	People are not into having sex with children.
	Some of them are into torturing children.
	Some of them are into killing children.
	Some of them are into all of those different things.
	Because when you have a world of 8 billion people, and you have people that have been abused from birth, you have people that are born into these worlds that, like, there are broken people that rise very high.
	And those are the people that are paying for these services.
	And when you start to listen to this satanic ritual abuse...
	Survivor testimony, you start to realize that there's a whole world of darkness that does not surface in the Jeffrey Epstein discussions, but is in the same networks that is so much darker than we can imagine.
	I forget his...
	I haven't gone deep enough down it yet.
	Daryl Cooper, who did the interview with Tucker Carlson that blew the world up because he said that World War II is not what we thought it was.
	The historian guy.
	He has a great podcast about Jeffrey Epstein where he does a whole section on this abusive piece of shit from Europe that I forget his name.
	The Dutro Affair.
	The Dutro Affair.
	And if you look up the Dutro Affair, that's a great example of one person that got...
	It all came out.
	Dutro Affair.
	Yeah, I believe it's...
	That's what it got called because his name was something Dutro.
	I think it's a French...
	I think it was Belgium or something like that.
	French name.
	So D-O-U-T-R-O-U-X, I believe.
	He's an example of a truly depraved...
	Evil, evil.
	Who confirmed, arrested, like, there's no longer any.
	Arrested, convicted, all of it with, like, all the evidence laid bare.
	Super tragic.
	A bunch of victims were killed.
	But those kinds of people are here in American networks, too.
	And we have lots of testimony of things like the Anthony Weiner laptop, things like the Frazzledrip video.
	Do I dare ask?
	What's the Frazzledrip?
	That's one of the videos that was found on Anthony Wiener's laptop.
	Allegedly, it's mostly been scrubbed from the internet, but a lot of people have...
	You can find snippets of it, and it is basically...
	You know Wilson, the volleyball?
	And you know how Ellen had a hoodie that had that weird red, muddy hand kind of print on it?
	And Jay-Z also had that hoodie, and a bunch of these celebrities wore that hoodie.
	The theory, and this is not confirmed, this is a conspiracy theory.
	This is the bona fide conspiracy theory.
	I'm not saying I don't believe it.
	A face with flesh removed.
	Look and do it for yourself.
	And yeah, the allegation, some people allege that it was Hillary Clinton removing a child's face skin while they were alive, and it's a video of that.
	That's what frazzledrip allegedly was.
	And it sounds, the whole thing is, listening to...
	You're talking about what the survivor of the satanic sex called a legend.
	And people say it's too crazy to believe.
	And so, in a way, it's like the ultimate protection is that it's too crazy to believe even if it's true, no one's going to believe it and no one is going to accept to believe it.
	Yeah, here's a little snippet rabbit hole to kind of like wake you up to the real world.
	Look into the Bolshevik Revolution.
	Look into what happened in communist Russia during the Bolshevik, well, Before Communist Russia, during the Bolshevik Revolution, and the just mass rapes, the millions of people raped and murdered and slaughtered.
	That was the one when they were digging up deceased nuns to desecrate the corpses because they ran out of nuns.
	Yeah, all kinds of things.
	And Daryl Cooper has a great episode on that too.
	And it's horrible.
	I turned that episode off.
	60% of the way through.
	I just didn't need to keep hearing about the gratuitous evil.
	People are capable of such immense evil in times of war and in times of great excess and sloth.
	Sin is very powerful.
	You need only look at some of the true atrocities that have been committed in this world to understand that There are evil people out there.
	There's 8 billion of us.
	And just because your life, you're surrounded by normal, regular humans, does not mean that these people do not exist.
	And when you read things like the Cassie lawsuit, you get a small taste of it.
	But, like, Diddy was a small fish, and not super powerful one at that.
	And there are way darker than him in this pond.
	So, that's the darkest rabbit hole.
	And there's lots of angles into it.
	You know, really.
	If you want another fucked up angle on it, is there's a whole section of YouTube, public YouTube, that is monkey bathing.
	And this dude did this great documentary about it that's super dark, that's on YouTube.
	Monkey bathing.
	So what it is, is it's, because it's overtly, it's just people hanging out with monkeys.
	It's called like monkey time or happy monkey.
	There's these keywords that when you search them on YouTube, You wind up in this weird rabbit hole where there's hundreds of thousands of videos for no fucking reason.
	And what it is, is it's animal torture.
	And it's overtly, I'm just bathing this monkey, but it's like a little baby monkey and you're like waterboarding it over and over and over.
	And they use monkeys because they look the most like baby humans.
	And they'll do weird things that are sexual with them because it's overtly I'm bathing it.
	But they're fondling it, and then they're dunking it, and they're fondling it, and they're dunking it.
	And some of them, they will literally do this until the monkey dies on camera.
	And these are openly on YouTube.
	And it's a whole rabbit hole, and they've got keywords that go with it because people all around the world fucked up, deranged psychos.
	That you might even walk by in the mall.
	That you might interact with at work.
	You don't know.
	But that people watch this shit.
	They have lots of views and comments.
	And you can read them.
	You can see that people are getting off on watching people basically torture and kill monkeys on camera on YouTube.
	And that is the type of thing that leads to the type of people that procure children on the internet.
	Well, that went surprisingly dark.
	I'm just going to go to Locals and see if there's questions or any questions that I can get to because I'm not used to...
	I'm rough in terms of doing this without having my camera in front of me.
	No, I totally feel you.
	And there might be some...
	I don't know if anybody has some questions they don't want answered.
	Holy hell.
	Yeah, I'm an open book, as you can see.
	And that's why I love Locals is because we can talk about anything.
	And I'm sure that we're already fucked on YouTube.
	Oh, I don't care about that.
	The only thing that pisses me off is that the way it's designed is that it not demonetizes it.
	Locals, I can't get to any questions.
	I'm going to see if I can save them afterwards.
	It kills the exposure.
	And so it's a self-fulfilling prophecy of suppression of that which people should know.
	But don't know because the only ones they wanted reporting on Epstein were like NBC, CBS whitewashing all of it.
	And then anybody...
	They're all on the take.
	So meanwhile now you're doing this and you've made a gig out of it and it's fantastic and you're fantastic.
	Where can people find you to either stay informed, get informed and support you?
	The number one place is for sure X to follow along with my research because X is the most free speech like social media platform that we have right now.
	So that's where all my videos go on X, all my posts go on X and that's Ian Carroll's show.
	If you want just the video content and you don't want all the other riffraff of X, all my videos do go onto Instagram and because I'm not monetized, they don't seem to censor me at all.
	So I think every single video I've ever made is still up on Instagram and you can find me at Actually, right now, Instagram has fucked up my username, so I think I'm canceliancarroll on Instagram, but I'm pretty easy to find.
	There are fake me's everywhere on every platform, so make sure you find the one that has the most followers.
	Right now on Instagram, it's like 400...
	40,000 or something like that.
	But watch out for the fake ones.
	If they email you asking you to buy Bitcoin, I've been getting that too.
	I feel bad for anybody who would think that that's right.
	It has gotten many people many times in the past.
	Don't go to TikTok because TikTok sucks ass and I don't even post there anymore.
	And if you want to support me, locals is one of the best ways to support me actually because I don't...
	I want to engage more, but I'm a one-man show.
	I don't have any other help of any form.
	I have no moderators.
	I have no editors.
	I have no management.
	I have none of that.
	And so I don't actually produce special Locals content very often, almost ever these days, because I'm traveling a lot, I'm doing a lot of things, though I aspire to get better at juggling multiple balls.
	But Locals is a great way for people that just want to give me a little bit of support to pay for a $5 a month subscription.
	Ian Carroll's show or just Ian Carroll on Locals?
	No, it's actually still canceled this.
	I'll put up all the links in the pinned comment.
	I'm trying to get to super chats or tips, and I can't see any on my phone, but I'll figure out later if anyone had any questions.
	I do have a website, cancelthisclothingcompany.com, that has links to all my socials that are probably all broken since I've updated a lot of my handles to Ian Carroll's show.
	But I'm out there and it's not too hard to find me as long as you start looking around.
	Because I am starting to break out into the real world, which is really cool to go from a random dude in my house just making a video to now I'm like...
	I say not known.
	Known is not what you aspire to.
	You put out stuff which, it's not even that it's like rocket science.
	It's just people don't have the time to do it.
	They don't have the perseverance to do it.
	And so you put together an eight minute video breaking down the breaking, you know, it puts in hours of research and then someone gets the rundown of the JZP Diddy stuff in eight minutes.
	Yeah, information is a powerful weapon for good and for evil.
	And for the longest time...
	The intelligence agencies, the organized crime units, the politicians, the corporations were using controlled media as a way to control all of our thought processes and all of our culture and all of what we knew to be true.
	And they walked us right into Obama's entire eight-year presidency, which was just more of the regime.
	They were trying to walk us into Hillary Clinton.
	They walked us right into Joe Biden.
	And it's not just political things.
	They also walk us into corporate bullshit, into buying products.
	And supporting evil in this world left and right.
	And it's all because of controlled information.
	And so having this ability to just share truth, just share research, share the idea that we can all learn for ourselves.
	And hit, like, each little video hits different people and just spreads more little things.
	It's super humbling and really powerful.
	It's amazing.
	Last question before I go because I'm going to regret not asking.
	The tattoo.
	Yeah, this is.
	So, you know, I was telling you about Earth Lodge at Guatemala, that hotel, that avocado farm hotel.
	So, this is the view from Earth Lodge.
	Okay, that's beautiful.
	It's Volcan de Agua, Fuego, and Acotenango.
	So, this is the fire one.
	And so, like, you're sitting up on the hill and the valley is full of the city.
	And this one is erupting fire.
	And then right after I got this, like the week before my flight, I climbed to the top of this one.
	And you can look down into Fuego as it erupts.
	And I've got a video from right across.
	It's like right there.
	And the whole mountain rumbles underneath your feet and fire spews everywhere.
	And it's really fucking cool.
	That's amazing.
	And you didn't get hooked in terms of doing the rest of your body after that half sleeve.
	No, because I've always been really poor my whole life.
	So I've never been able to afford a lot of tattoos.
	Keep your money.
	I used to have a friend who is now like sleeved up and his back and torso like...
	But he told me how much it all came to.
	It's a lot of money.
	So I'm an artist, and so a lot of my, like, I see my body as a canvas to a certain degree, and I have a long-term plan of which parts I want, and a lot of it is...
	A lot of it will stay bare.
	But this is part of like, I've always wanted this one to be the mountains of Guatemala, my home away from home, and then wrapping into a similar mountainscape of my home in Washington, where the mountains that I grew up climbing and snowboarding and stuff in come out the other side.
	And I will get that done at some point.
	And now that I'm being, you know, a relatively successful human that's on the horizon, but for a long time, I was just a dirtbag traveling with no money.
	So a lot of it has been sort of like ideas.
	Memories and experiences are a currency that's just not measured in the same way as money.
	Ian, we're going to end it.
	Amazing. Thank you very much.
	Locals, I'll follow up with you guys later.
	I want to see what I can do in terms of salvaging any tip questions and any rumble rants and YouTube super chats.
	We can probably do a follow up too if you want at some point.
	I want to be here in person, but we can do a follow up on any questions that are recurring.
	First of all, I don't know if you do once a month or every couple weeks.
	Absolutely a thousand percent.
	No, a ton of fun.
	This is a great time to chat.
	I love it.
	Amazing. Everyone, so see you all this afternoon.
	Tomorrow I'll be live.
	Wednesday I'll be live.
	Thursday I'll be live with Mike Benz in studio.
	I think I can confirm it now.
	Hopefully I didn't confirm it too soon.
	And Friday, we started talking about this early.
	What was his name?
	His name is Pastor Ben on Twitter, who I believe is a parody account spouting the most vile stuff you can imagine for engagement.
	He has agreed to come on 1230 Friday.
	It's going to be a good week, people.
	Enjoy. Ian, thank you very much.
