Kushner DARK Money, Trump BANK, Chris Hansen NDA & Pablo Pledgescobar | Julian Dorey • 466

The podcast episode opens with light banter before diving into major stories. The primary focus is Henry Abbott's speculative article about the Lakers' sale, suggesting that Josh Kushner and Bob Iger may not be the true buyers. Abbott points out that Iger's worth ($600 million) and Kushner's ($5 billion) don't cover the $12.5 billion price tag, implying hidden funding from Abu Dhabi's Mubadala sovereign wealth fund, chaired by MBZ. The article connects this to Middle Eastern surveillance systems like Pegasus spyware, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged efforts to broker deals between the UAE and Israel, and the Kushner family's business dealings in Saudi Arabia. The hosts also cover the Penn State cocaine bust, joking about the student ringleader while acknowledging the seriousness of drug-related deaths. They discuss Phoebe Gates's startup scandal and her secretive Stanford course, criticizing the lack of accountability for privileged elites. The episode also examines Trump and Witkoff's new bank and USD1 digital currency, questioning the optics of a sitting president profiting from such ventures. Flock surveillance cameras receive extensive criticism, including a leaked plan to convert Ubers into surveillance vehicles and community pushback. The hosts wrap up with commentary on Chris Hansen's NDA dispute and a recommendation for the EDP 445 documentary, emphasizing systemic corruption and surveillance concerns throughout.

Joey Deev, you got a little Pablo Pledzcabar in your veins this week? Come on, son. Careful how you answer that question. White out. White out. Coming soon. Hardcore white out. Coming soon. Listen, that's just the government picking on small businesses that are trying to pull themselves up by the bootstraps to make it in this very difficult economy. I don't like the government over here. I agree. They're overreach, you know? I agree. I think we need to cherish these traditions, you know? And I'm glad to see that the kids are all right and they're getting down at college. That's right. The way they should. The way they should. The way they should. Obviously, you look at what has been alleged here, it's all allegations. This has not gone through court. Spec, if you will. No one is guilty of anything. It is pure spec. But I'm just saying, they created a lot of jobs. And, you know, we were looking at the job market earlier in this country. It's pretty tight right now. And we've talked about the, you know, expense of college, cost of living. We've covered these things. That's right. That's right. And you need a solution, so. That's right. And, you know, not all heroes wear capes. Some wear glasses and, you know, you can send a picture of them with no context to your guy on a Friday night and he's gonna know what it means now. Yep. That's neither here nor there. Jokes aside, obviously, we'll talk about the whole Penn State story today. That was pretty interesting. But fucking Henry Abbott strikes again from the goddamn clouds with an article on his blog, "True Hoop" that he even says without using our term, is a level of pure spec. There's some spec to it. Yeah. Based on layers and layers and layers and layers of prime coincidences. And of course, what I'm referring to here is that Jared Kushner's brother, Josh, along with Disney CEO, Bob Iger, more on the actual setup here in a second, purchased the Los Angeles lake as the historic franchise. Yeah. Los Angeles Lakers this week for around $12 billion. The problem is Bob Iger's worth about 600 million and Josh Kushner's worth about 5 billion, roughly, give or take. So where's that on their six and a half? Where's that coming from, Joey Deif? They gotta get that in stat, right? Yeah, that's not enough money. Yeah, so we're gonna get to that in a minute. We also, of course, have to check into dear friend of Joey Deif and mine at this point, Phoebe Gates. She is just, you know, the story just keeps getting better. I still have yet to see Kash Patel in an FBI suit fucking flying down like he's G.I. Joe, ready to announce an arrest. Oh, now you definitely won't. He got his one today, dude. What'd he get today? Jessica Bowie. Oh, that's right. That's right, the bomber that they entrapped. Yeah, so he got his. We may talk about that as well. That's just, I mean, they don't even try anymore. They don't even try. They can find someone who is objectively pretty stupid. We'll definitely say that. And they can say, you know what? Show me the man or woman and I'll show you the crime. Yeah, they cooked with this one. They cooked with this one, so we'll talk about that. Hey, guys, if you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review. They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. Trump's opening up a bank as well, Joey Deif. We're gonna have to get to that. Call Schiff. We should call Schiff. You should call Peter Schiff. Peter Schiff will have a lot to say about that. He will have a lot of advice. He knows about banks. To provide Donald Trump on the pitfalls of opening up a bank and how the big, bad government could come after you. They may come after you, Donald, at some point with that. And, you know, we'll check in on our friends at Flock, which, by the way, Alessi Alamon, who has worked with me forever, if you ever look at my ex, my Twitter, or whatever you want to call it, every time you see a post where it's like a comment or typing and stuff like that, that's always me. I do that all myself. But when you see the horizontal 1080 clips that post on a daily basis, Alessi writes those captions. And he is well-trained in YouTube. He doesn't know the first thing about Twitter. So it's kind of funny because he'll write these ridiculous captions that I would obviously never write, and I get a good laugh out of them. I think it's kind of funny. But he wrote -- can we pull it up? He wrote, like, the most unhinged caption calling out the Flock CEO to come on the show and, like, tagged him on it. And I'm like, well, there goes that. We obviously had some clips from last week's episode that went kind of viral on multiple platforms, particularly one that was discussing how Flock had reached out to me and suggested that the CEO come on to the show. And I was like, okay, it's not going to be a fucking cakewalk. But I don't think Garrett -- that is his name, Garrett Langley, right? It's not Craig or Greg. I don't know where that came from. Whatever it is. But it's Garrett Langley. Very, very apt last name, Joey Deef, by the way. Very apt last name. Very, very simulation-esque name. Yes, yeah. You've got to enjoy the simulation, people. Just ride it like a wave, you know? But anyway, so Alessi put up this caption with some video that was a part of the clip from last week where he goes, "Hey, Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, all caps, come on the podcast and we will give you a fair hearing. What's your goal? What's your background? Come defend your company, all caps, Flock." @GarrettLangley, @GLangley, which is his tag on X. So I don't think that one will ever happen. But I would be open to it. As I said, if he does want to do that, he would get a fair hearing. He would certainly get a lot of pushback. And as I also said last week, Tommy G will be in here with me to do it. And we can have a nice kumbaya conversation and see where that goes. But I highly doubt that will happen. So we'll talk about some Flock today. Obviously, the world lost Hayden this week. That was very tragic, what happened there. What was a little eerie about Hayden Panettiere's death is that Deef and I had had on the Google Doc, like when we go to do this, basically like for these shows, an hour or two before we actually hop on here and do it, Deef and I look at each other and say, "All right, what the fuck happened this week?" And throughout the week, like when I see little stories that I've either read or that I want to come back to, I'll put those links like on a doc and then go review them and everything. And obviously, some I'm going to be well-versed in because I've already gone through the whole thing. Others I'm going to check out and see if it's worthy of going on the show today. But we end up having like a lot of material. And there's always shit we don't get to. And so especially things that are a little more evergreen that matter less than I need to cover it this second, sometimes they'll carry over. For a few weeks on these docs. And I had had one section that kind of got lost after about five or six weeks to cover what Hayden Panettiere had said back in May. Some allegations she made both in her books and then laid out more on the Jay Shetty podcast regarding some abuse that she was subject to in Hollywood. And so when she passed away this week, I don't know, that kind of sent a shiver. It sent a shiver up my spine because she had said some things. It's not to say she didn't have some personal demons and things like that. But it's always a little odd when someone comes out and is making some of the claims she did. And we'll try to get to this later. We'll see if we can fit it in today. And then passes away. So that was quite interesting to me. We also had our friend Chris Hansen this week. Yeah. He's getting to a little back and forth. I have a screenshot down there, Joey Deef, real quick. So I've been talking with Chris, who was on the show back for episode 397. And I believe that was March. I talked to him about when the new movie about him, Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson, comes out about us doing a podcast around that again, which we've been talking for a few months on that. And he really wanted to do it. So I had gone back and forth with him a few weeks ago. And he explained that he was going to see the movie in the next couple of weeks or something like that. And so I texted him yesterday and said, "Do we have it up there, Deef?" "Have you seen the movie yet?" He said, "Hey, not yet. Maybe today." And then I hit him with the, "You see how this looks, right?" See how this looks. You got to beat Chris Hansen at his own game. But it turns out, we might as well just go through this right now, Deef, because it's pretty quick. Yeah. Chris Hansen, unbeknownst to me, I was texting him. This was Thursday morning around 10:30. This apparently, as we later learned that night, because he didn't say this in our conversation, this was while he was at A24 HQ in New York. A24 is the company that is distributing the new movie, Primetime, where he was supposed to see the new film. And then prior to doing so, in the morning, he was handed an NDA and did not want to sign it, and left without seeing the film. So, Primetime was made without Chris Hansen being involved. It's based on a 2007 article about, his whole show with to catch a predator which had been blown up at that point and it's a it's a movie where they're going to use him and his likeness and all that but also fictionalize some of it and in my conversations with him he seemed pretty excited about it endless summer escapes start here travel the worlds of netflix irl inspired by fan favorites like

to sign this nda there's now like this disagreement happening publicly and i i don't have inside baseball here i've not talked to chris about this but i'm going to talk to him about this and i'm going to talk to him about this since this really came out today but chris went on fox news last night and basically said that they handed him this nda that was really overreaching before he was going to see this film that basically he said and i'm paraphrasing here i had to sign away my rights my my image rights my branding all that etc to which a 20 so he didn't sign it and he left without seeing the film so he still hasn't seen it to which a 24 actually leaked to the press today that no it was just a standard nda that all people who are going to see an advanced screening of the film have to sign to protect ip and spoilers and stuff like that my guess is that the answer is actually kind of in the middle here so and and again i haven't talked to chris i'd love to talk to him just to see what specifically it was what i'm guessing here pure spec is that a 24 in this very corporate-y written you know top 50 law firm writing every fucking detail into an nda in this maybe standard nda it includes all kinds of subsections that basically say you cannot use any imagery or stills or anything of the sort for any promotion self-promotion etc etc you have no rights to be able to discuss the name of the movie in relation to any things or business endeavors you do i'm totally guessing but if that is the case i'm going to have to sign off on that and i'm going to have to sign off on that and i'm going to have to sign off on that and i'm going to have to sign off on that in case it that's an nda that the average person who's going to see this film early wouldn't give a shit about but chris hansen probably would because the fucking movie's about him and robert pattinson is playing him in his name so unless someone's paid by contract something before a project happens where their image and likeness is going to be used and maybe they're paid you know i'm going to make up a number a hundred thousand dollars to not you know to basically say okay you guys are allowed to use all this and i won't use it as promotion later if that doesn't happen and in this case a film is made in the image and likeness of someone without them even being involved i don't think that in that scenario they should have to sign an nda that includes them signing away their rights to use anything from the film i think they kind of have a right to do that so that's some spec but stay tuned on that maybe we'll get chris in here for some some inside baseball i would i haven't seen the film but i would love to see chris be like involved with the rollout and also see him you know maybe do a podcast with him and and robert pattinson that'd be fucking sick but at least be involved in like the full press tour and be able to go do this whole thing so we will monitor that situation and then that pretty much covers that today but also i i do have to say the fucking did you see the edp documentary uh not really no i've seen i saw clips of him with hansen those are some good oh chris hansen cooked him like thanksgiving dinner um but yeah it's kind it's still kind of new to me that whole thing so edp 445 if you never seen him he was a huge influencer online he was this really obese dude who actually went viral back in like 2011 reacting to eagles games because he's a huge philadelphia eagles fan i'll say unfortunately now because i'm a huge eagles fan but he would just have total crash outs and he became really famous for having crash outs and he'd be way over the top and all that but you know that's how he got famous and so in 2021 alex rosen who's a guy who like tries to predators online you know do like what chris hansen does he received information that edp might be a predator and so he approached him online posing as a 13 year old girl and long story short got edp to show up to the intentions of of abusing this girl on camera and got caught and stung again just like hansen did the problem is alex rosen botched how you do the investigation and which is a problem that happens in this space you heard mariana van zeller talk about that to where people are doing the content with this and they don't think about the legality about how they do these investigations but he botched the case so charges were not able to be filed but edp lost all his pages online and everything and was exposed as being a predator and so this guy mike klum i think it's klum it's c-u-l-m if it's klum i'm sorry but shout out to mike apparently he spent a couple years like on and off around edp with edp's permission which i cannot for the life of me believe that he ever agreed to do this but shout out to mike klum he makes this long documentary i think it's a couple hours like called inside the dark the monster mind of edp something like that and it is dark this guy is such a fucking idiot and such a sick sick predator it is on youtube it has millions of views it is age restricted i i do have to say i fully understand why youtube age restricted it this i mean it's it it is not a be prepared for a dense watch i'll put it that way like they like mike did not pull any punches he has all kinds of on-screen interviews and at one point he brought in chris hansen to just absolutely skillet fry edp and i'm not gonna play the clip because it'll get this video fucking not but you can go find the clip very easily on literally every social platform you know the complete apathy and casual nature with which edp was fully admitting to having had full intentions of abusing that 13 year old girl and saying he doesn't have a problem with it it is what it is closed off by the way with chris hansen spoiler alert saying you know if alex rosen hadn't botched this your edp 445 ass would be in prison and it's got like the fucking like the sweet caroline thing coming in the background just fucking closing it again mike amazing job with the editing but i would highly recommend that documentary just be prepared to see some really ugly shit i i just think it's really important though because if you know we talk about the epstein case a lot on this show and and some of these really sick elites that do stuff like this but you know you want to see how deep-rooted the psychology is up close from anyone whether they're an elite or a dude like edp who's not an elite but he's a fallen from grace right he's elite in size i'll tell you that it's fucking this large human being yeah he put he got to be pushing five bills easy but you know i i just think it was a really good psychological look into how that brain works in all seriousness and and you know the iq on him is so far below room temperature yeah but it's high enough to know full well that what he's doing is sinister and gross and he is just so sadistically monstrous that he openly admits to it and chooses completely to ignore it so maybe my psychologist and psychiatrists out there can give all the proper i don't know diagnoses for that i'm not the guy to do it but there's a lot of people out there who are bad shit going on there so i'll definitely check that out but let's get to this henry abbott joshua kushner story so it's long and it's layered and it's detailed i'm gonna read some of it like little pieces of it but i'm gonna give you a layout of what henry abbott is is saying could be the case here and again we're gonna say for us and for henry as well who made it pretty clear in this article very clear it's pure spec it's just you know it's a lot of layers right here so let's back let me read the opening area right here so you got you guys can get a lay of the land essentially lakers sell for 12 billion dollars from mark walters to what's reported as joshua kushner and bob eiger and people i think it was 12.5 12.5 and it's just like closed case and people are wondering what else is going on here yeah in comes henry abbott ramona shelburne writes los angeles lakers being sold to josh kushner by bob eiger for 12.5 billion a record-breaking price multiple sources told espn and now kushner and eiger might also be on the hook for the bus family holdings too so the bus family had sold their majority stake after having it for decades to walters just last year it was like 13 14 15 months ago more on him in a second and so they sold the remainder of their stake in this deal so it's just like a clean total new ownership group under the terms of the deal reports the new york times kushner is putting up personal money and eiger may as well and again to be clear this is joshua kushner not jared it's the younger brother eiger may this is what henry abbott points out from that quote somehow every media outlet is reporting that bob eiger is buying the lakers but yet they're saying bob eiger may put up money how do you buy a team if you're only gonna may put up money and we're talking about 12.5 billion here that doesn't make sense so he says let's estimate that mark walter now owns 85 of the lakers the buses own almost all the rest if that's right someone has to get walter 10.625 billion stat and the buses would like a couple billion as well eiger is good according to the new york times for perhaps zero and so josh kushner worth a reported five billion again we're not even halfway there needs a ton of money so henry says if we go to lunch and you generously pay on your credit card would the media report that i'm buying lunch and what if someone else pays your credit card bill because forbes estimates that bob eiger is worth around 600 million and josh kushner around 5 billion who in the hell is actually buying the lakers then the tidiest answer would be whoever mark walter owes all the money to so before i read this next paragraph mark walter is currently under massive federal investigation for tax fraud that's good yeah listen a little bit of tax fraud apparently never hurt anyone and they are it's just like the penn state thing dude they're going after a good and decent businessman who's bravely creating jobs in our economy what is the problem that's true that's true yeah a lot of diverse jobs too did i just change your mind kind of a little bit yeah we'll do the fraud we'll let that slide that's good we'll let it slide but anyway he's under investigation this is the guy who owns twg holdings which is this massive multinational holding company that includes i believe below it can you check me on this joey d like guggenheim partners which is where he even came into the picture i think he was like the head of that for a while major financial outlet right there but he's been under massive investigations so this guy yes had bought the lake i'm correct on that okay he had bought the lakers he's owned the dodgers for a while now and he chelsea chelsea fc as well over in england he's just trying to get out from under this he started collecting a little too many assets too fast and he's like he likes playing with balls it seems playing with balls that's right yeah that's right you know listen whatever you're into and listen mr walter you do you you do you you do you anyway so walter is doing you by trying to now i would say fire sale the lakers but like he got a record-breaking deal which is another thing here joey d if i own a team even if it is a crown jewel like the lakers and i am under massive tax fraud investigation all these billionaires were you know powerful people that are coming in to buy it they're all sharks they know you you're a billionaire you're a billionaire you're a billionaire you're a billionaire you have to sell it yeah i mean he's got legal fees and he's gonna he's gonna he's gotta batten up the hatches here yeah and they're still paying an insane record deal like that meaning they wanted it that quickly that badly with as little competition as possible when yes it's the lakers i'm not gonna lie like that's that is a in sports that is a crown jewel franchise no one is saying it's not but like bob eiger needs you know what i mean like it's a little it's a little weird yeah it is a little weird it's a little weird anyway back to what henry was saying here he said so who in the hell is actually buying the lakers the tidiest answer would be whoever mark walter owes all that money to because again he's had some money problems mark walter's business meltdown is far-reaching and complex but pablo torre brian windhorse and others note that muba dolla capital great name that's a great name yeah i thought it was fake they end up being evil great branding muba dolla capital agreed to anchor a 10 billion dollar syndicated investment for one of walter's businesses a few months before he purchased the lakers for that exact amount it's interesting so you know they they inject them with 10 billy buys the lakers for 10 belly almost like it's a little you know a little trade you hear that sound in the mic joey little slushy slushing around right listen listen the gulf states love basketball too said no one ever anyway and then as we discussed in the last installment referring to his last reporting bloomberg reported in july about investigators looking into walter and this is from bloomberg key in on this folks an early focus of the inquiry was a deal twg struck last year with mubadala capital an arm of an abu dhabi sovereign wealth fund according to people familiar with the matter in april 2025 the companies announced capital would incur a 10 billion dollar syndicated investment in twg prosecutors were looking into whether mubadala capital had been misled about valuations said the people who asked not to be identified discussing confidential matters it's unclear whether prosecutors are still pursuing that line of inquiry now henry adds mubadala mubadala is this yeah a lot of people are saying is a sovereign wealth fund owned by the government of abu dhabi mubadala is currently chaired by man's or bin zayed el naihan otherwise known as mbz you got mbs in saudi you got mbz in abu dhabi let's just keep it simple okay while kaldun khalifa al-mubarak is a managing is managing director and group ceo so for the purposes of this article they're going to call him kaldun which is what he's often referred to he went to college in boston attending nba games kaldun lived in los angeles where he became close to ari emmanuel who's like the most powerful agent in wme as well emmanuel found doctors when kaldun's kids got sick kaldun funded emmanuel's ascension to run a giant sports conglomerate but appears to have a particular interest in the nba also full disclosure here just you know nothing's not on the up and up it's very public on my profile i i do have an agent at wme as well which is what emmanuel owns but should mention that while we're reading this now that walter has become radioactive it is possible is it possible that kaldun would feel comfortable doing business with someone like bob eiger and this is the last part i want to read down here okay here's eiger announcing disney's seventh theme park with a video above we're not going to play it but that's what the announcement is in abu dhabi it's a complex deal that took some negotiating between disney and guess what kaldun's brother muhammad khalifa al-mubarak chairs the department of culture and tourism abu dhabi interesting thing that he was on the other side it's like they're all related if kaldun and mubadala was okay with walter owning the lakers in air quotes there reportedly purchased with muba dollars i like that term henry that was nice muba dollars that's gonna stick might he be okay with bob eiger and josh kushner doing the same thing meaning there's a little backdoor deal now and this is where i'm going to start to summarize the information and we'll come back to some little important passages that henry puts together in this long article again we should link that down below don't let me forget that joey d okay i'll do that tonight when i'm editing this but you know i encourage you guys to read it because henry as usual is going step by step bit by bit shot by shot putting it all together but essentially the implication is that this sovereign wealth fund as a part of abu dhabi was slushing money through mark walter they are now letting the ownership of the lakers change hands and appear in what henry is speculating to be this sale when in reality the same money is behind it all and so i think what you got to do is go back to where henry talks about the arab spring here so when the arab spring happens back in 2011 all these nations it started was it tunisia it started in and then it was egypt right after that right after that yeah it didn't start in egypt egypt was tech remember basim said they were technically second and i think it was tunisia that was first okay so yeah you're right obviously they had massive uprisings it was the first time that social media led to a massive social movement that enacted government changes in major countries there started to be all kinds of uprisings across a lot of other countries all across the middle east and there were a lot of governments stretching as far as russia they were very concerned about the precedent set here i think at one point henry mentions this in the article there were like a hundred twenty thousand protesters outside the kremlin and putin was like yo that can't be happening fam yeah that was the color revolution yeah yeah we we ain't doing this so at the time mbz did exactly what what everybody does he invested in an israeli spy company an israeli run spy company to create surveillance on the citizens so that nothing would happen and by nothing i mean his power would not be in question joey def is that what you would have done yeah i mean you gotta you gotta lock it down you do have to lock it down yeah you have to lock down batting up the hatches it's almost like remember at msg how they were doing this with flock surveillance systems or whatever it's like teeing it right up for la they're gonna have both coasts covered funny you say that joey because i believe at some point in this article he does yeah he mentions henry appen mentions james dolan james dolan you know he had surveillance for everyone except fucking people that were raising kids apparently you know i'm not gonna name names there i don't want a defamation suit but i think you know who i'm talking about at least let me let me correct the record in a lawyerly way people who were strongly associated with every warning sign in sight with certain people named like oh i don't know jeffrey epstein who was in charge of an giant a giant trafficking operation to raise kids and uh by the way this story is going to include epstein that's coming endless summer escapes start here travel the worlds of netflix irl inspired by fanfics

not dystopian at all in effect a source close to the project told the london-based news site middle east eye quote every person and this is in 2011 people every person is monitored from the moment they leave their doorstep to the moment they return to it their work social and behavioral patterns are recorded and they are recorded in the archive it sounds like science fiction but it's happening today in abu dhabi wow this is how they responded to the arab spring years ago and and let me take a quick tangent here i'm going to come back right to where we are in this story joe defo make sure i don't lose my spot but one of the things that in having some really constructive conversations with different people over the over a long day here over the last week that has come up is people saying you're getting so upset about flock when we already got these things sitting here in our hands of course i'm holding up my iphone if you're listening not watching and trust me i think this is a huge problem i think that the access and security that we give up on these phones is absolutely an issue behind the scenes i think it's it's a pandora's box that's been open and now cannot be closed and it scares the shit out of me with what can be done with that we've seen plenty of good we talked about pegasus a million times on this show that's going to come up today again by the way you know and things like that that can infiltrate your phone here's one difference in semantics and i want to highlight in semantics that i see with the phones that makes it more difficult before i explain why i have a problem with the flock problem with the flock cameras that are appearing in public places when you're talking about a phone it's something that is a part of you that you use on your own you do use it everywhere and it tracks your location and that shit is certainly an issue but it's not a but at home you're using it and there is this right to privacy that still exists through all kinds of supreme court interpretations of the constitution that happened throughout our country's history and so i use the example of the public semantics posturing that you saw back in 2015 with the san bernardino shooter here you had a terrorist who had killed a bunch of people who was dead and apple very publicly talked about this on the show a bunch over the years refused to unlock his iphone for the fbi and jim diorio has been on the show before he's talked about this a bunch because you know he's he was in the fbi at the time and he wanted the iphone he wanted it and jim diorio is a good guy but as i as i point out to him i'm like jim i believe that you won't use that as a bad precedent to do way worse things but who's to say the other fucking bad agent in there isn't going to use that as a precedent to do way worse things but who's to say the other fucking bad agent in there isn't going to use that as a precedent to do way worse things but who's to say the other in the future and guys like that love jim great dude they never have a great answer to that question because they know they may be moral but who's to say everyone else is so anyway apple did not unlock the iphone now i have no doubt that these tech companies including apple you know apple always brags about their customer support for privacy compared to the other companies i've always said it's like saying you're a dwarf among midgets you know you can reach the second shelf congratulations i need you on the 10th but anyway like when you see those things happen publicly you know there is at least some facade semantically i hope this is making sense for some right to privacy where it's not full-blown big brother on your phone when you are talking about public spaces filled with flock cameras that you leave the privacy of your home and go places and don't realize these things are or realize these things are and then something is going to happen to you and you're going to be like oh my god i'm happens and you're framed and it can track your Bluetooth movements, it goes way beyond the standards of what they're supposed to do because people have access to it and you can see cops and law enforcement abuse it if they want, as we've already seen happen. That's an issue for me. That's a huge issue for me. And if you don't believe that, look no further than what MBZ is laying out here. He's laying out exactly what the Chinese protocol was. Now, China, the CCP doesn't have a constitution like ours, so they could probably fuck people with the phones already. But we remember during the pandemic, you can even look at Australia, by the way, with this one, but let's keep it on China for a second. They had drones outside people's houses making sure they weren't coming out on the fucking porch. They have a full social credit system. And so things like flock in public spaces without your consent can decide to delve into your privacy because you've gone out. To the public, you have left the privacy of your home. And that is a big difference to me. It is not discounting that the phone is not a, is not something that is very problematic for me when I look at privacy and I look at government surveillance and stuff like that. Of course it is. But like, don't give me the argument of the well, what about to get the argument off something that is a legitimate place to argue about in this case, surveillance cameras and flock. So again, I have something 15 years ago that they were doing in the Middle East, bragging about how everyone, and again, let's read that line. Everyone is monitored from the moment they leave their doorstep to the moment they returned to it. Their work, social and behavioral patterns are recorded, analyzed and archives and archived. It sounds like science fiction, but it's happening today in Abu Dhabi. That's what I worry about. So you saw all these places work on surveillance and where it gets interesting and where the overlap kind of comes back. Cause again, this story, it starts with the Lakers and Iger with the, with Kushner buying team and there's some weird money behind it it of course delves into one jeffrey epstein did i put that part on the actual doc def or can i go to that in the article yeah let's go to it in the article because guess what surprise all these people are tied to jeffrey epstein in his final years henry abbott writes jeffrey epstein was cooking up something big there's credible analysis that jared kushner so we're on jared now his signature diplomatic accomplishment the abraham accords were born of epstein's sordid efforts to build a bridge between the emirates and israel and henry abbott i believe has an article he links that back i think that's his article where he's investigating that there's so much more kate justice says epstein told rafat al-sabag the senior advisor at the royal court that saudi arabia was held hostage by the u.s banking system and across roughly 14 months of correspondence he proposed five mechanisms for getting the kingdom out of that arrangement epstein's scheme tied together cryptocurrency china and nations like saudi arabia qatar and the uae recognizing and deepening ties with israel a man named david stern and that is not the nba commissioner david stern to be clear is a different david stern emailed epstein in october 2017 listen to this quote digital currency and then it's got a colon it says mbz who we just talked about as a part of the what is it muba mubadala mubadala yeah mbz handed to caldoon speaking to him so there's david stern is reporting back to jeffrey epstein that he is in direct contact with caldoon and mbz in regards to all the things i list there which includes cryptocurrency china and nations like saudi arabia qatar and the uae recognizing and deepening ties with israel so they're working on peace deals in the middle east with israel on that behalf you can certainly hit the bells there and wonder what that's all about and they're also working on things like cryptocurrency that could be controlled by governments in this case which would make it central bank digital currency which would tie directly into a surveillance state system where they could track everything you do and create a system where they could track everything you do and create a system where you create a social credit score and decide when where and how you can spend your money or if that is even possible never gets old does it beef but at least apple is going to let me know if pegasus has been installed on my phone that's right what is that joey d that's nothing nothing crazy nothing crazy no they just it's kind of like that fbi thing it seems like they're just taking precautions they're gonna alert users if uh a foreign spyware has been installed on their phone pegasus or you know whatever the chinese are cooking up in the walk all that so right so what does that look like joey do i get a push button notification from apple that says hello you're fucked that yeah yeah they're just gonna start sending you like notifications being like they're coming for you right so it's a notification that basically says congratulations you're dead but at least just want to let you know that yeah and by the way there's not a lot of clouds it's not hot you might be in purgatory yeah you're dead you're dead you're dead you're dead you're dead yeah you're gonna have to make a new apple id on yeah new apple id and you know shabbat shalom that's that's that's pretty much it now joey d if you want to know who else happened to be in saudi arabia in october 2017 when jeffrey epstein was coordinating with j with david stern um the kushmeister who i don't know yeah yeah well in in late october 2017 jared kushner president trump's son-in-law and middle east advisor nice during trump administration one dropped into saudi arabia for an unannounced visit to the desert retreat of crown prince muhammad bin salman mbs who was in the process of consolidating his power the two men talked privately late into the night that's what you do you go meet with your favorite world leader unannounced unannounced who definitely has never committed a human rights violation in any way shape or form is a benevolent democratically elected right yeah did not round up everyone right around the same time period that james did to him and his giant incestuous royal family and put them all into the ritz-carlton hotel in saudi arabia as prisoners and torture them and it's all above board right it's all above board he didn't do any of that now he i just want to be clear your honor my client is innocent he's innocent of all charges and you know what as far as i know joey d if i i was told that because no sanctions happened he was not responsible for the killing of jamal khashoggi right yeah he's got documentation blink twice if you're a hostage joey d if that that was a lot of times that's not remember we talked about this you have to do it you have to actually like count it out so the people get it right let me let me run that by blink twice if you're a hostage joey d just saying not bad just saying so just a day earlier henry writes and this is from the new york times again mr kushner's younger brother josh then 32 was also flying out to the kingdom it was a giant family reunion in the saudi arabian fucking palace jared came to talk policy but josh was there on what joey d biz it's always biz the founder of an eight-year-old venture capital firm josh kushner had spent the three days before his brother's arrival at an investor conference which is what vc people do where prince muhammad had promised to spend billions of dollars on a high-tech future for saudi arabia as others sat through speeches in a gilded conference hall several participants said the younger mr kushner frequently ducked out from more exclusive conversations with saudi officials near the end the article includes the line the riyadh conference drew wall street titans and some attendees questioned how a relatively small player enjoyed high-level access to saudi officials josh was just 32 at the time oh i don't know maybe his fucking brother is a senior nepo baby you know advisor to the sitting president united states doing fucking biz off the government books in the middle east so maybe his younger brother can also be nepo'd right the fuck in it seems to fucking check out to me no how would that happen i mean that's that's apparently what happens at these places joey d look at phoebe gates hey hey individuals man he's a good guy he's a democrat don't don't tell me you're gonna start defending phoebe gates now no kushmeister josh he's a dem dude good guy i know he's got a moral compass the same kind of thing right here you know it's all it's all the big club that we're not in and everything uh biz man so the same things that epstein's working on with base deals wrapped in a little surveillance the kushners happen to be there at the same time making some decisions to later lead to some bigger valuations in their companies remember jared kushner later in 2021 got what was it 2.1 billion from the saudis not bad because he was a big guy he was a big guy he was a big guy he was a out of politics at that point of course he said he was never to return i think iran has a word to say about that neither here nor there but joshua kushner also continued to get investments throughout these years which henry breaks down very in a lot of detail in the article so read it there but different people started to put money into jared kushner's phone what was it called thrive that's what's happening in jared kushner's phone is that joshua kushner is allegedly worth 5 billion which i believe technically makes him the highest valuation kushner which is you know good for him i guess that's hard to do but thrive very quietly very very quietly on april 24th did a little something in delaware joey d if you know what they did what they do they did a deal let's go and they they did a deal they did they did a quiet deal quiet so from henry's article kushner announced thrive eternal on april 24th that's good branding thrive eternal little spin-off yeah that's right that's that's like a nice name i like that it makes you think like you know things are going to be good you're going to live eternal so kushner announced thrive eternal on april 24th which reportedly will contribute to the lakers purchase thrive eternal feeder lp was formed in delaware on march 26 four weeks prior prior a feeder is a vehicle that collects investors and channels them into a master fund the master fund is not in delaware so far sec filings contain no mention of thrive eternal whatsoever henry writes i searched edgar by company name by full text by thrive's address at 295 lafayette street it's very possible that no regulator not the sec not the sec not anyone will ever see a list of who invests with thrive eternal that means we are relying on the nba to vet this transaction which could include money below the surface and they're gonna and they're gonna bet real hard yeah real hard real real hard they're gonna bet so fucking hard like is it is every dollar there yes it is it's there all right don't care where it came from slash slash baby stamp it moral of the story If there's sovereign wealth money filed below and hidden through a bunch of basically like for lack it's not i guess what it should be called legally but through lack of a better term these kind of shellish type companies yeah lps you know it's like the follow the money trail gets a little gray a little gray a little gray to the point you're like and then you're in abu dhabi then you're in abu dhabi big fans of basketball that's it huge i've heard it's a big big place for basketball but jared kushner joshua kushner also and thrive you know the lakers is is not just about the lakers yeah these investments are not just about just the the love of the game and biz they they also do want to get in the surveillance show deep henry writes a report from stefan roll at the german institute for security and international affairs says gulf states have the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world and use them to gain political influence since 2019 muba dollar remember muba dollars the company we talked about way at the beginning you here that the caldoon guy runs and mbz is the chairman of yep muba dollar has held since 2019 an indirect stake in the israeli company nso group the developer of the the developer of the pegasus spyware they're all friends in 2022 the saudi company for artificial intelligence another pif subsidiary invested more than 200 million dollars very chump change there in the chinese firm sense time which is widely known for its facial recognition and surveillance technologies which i'm sure they're not going to use for surveillance and power over the average person anyway two years later the pif subsidiary a lot entered into a partnership with one of the largest manufacturers of surveillance technology in china dahua technology to produce surveillance hardware in saudi arabia for its part qia which is i believe qatari acquired a stake in databricks in 2023 a data processing and artificial intelligence company whose platform can be used for real-time surveillance applications josh kushner and thrive henry writes led databricks most recent 10 billion dollars there's that number again in fundraising although while roll discusses real-time surveillance kushner assures us that databricks is is driven by quote its mission to democratize data and ai never underestimate a billionaire's ability to use the word democracy inserted into the middle of any sentence to make it feel like it's for the people when they are you right up the ass while they do it my god these guys have absolutely gone everywhere since donald trump took power in i guess in january 2017 and he had the hiatus there where they were still in this case jared moore i'm referring to were using that influence directly to get money and investments with all these places that are trampling on any quote-unquote human rights that people who care about democracy would pretend to care about because they don't they don't isn't it funny how everyone it just seems like like israel qatar china everyone's just kind of like teaming up they're like all right you guys got facial recognition we're gonna make the ai that does the real-time survey and they're like all right let's meet back that back eat back in a few yeah it's it's almost like all the geopolitical conflicts are like a little derived as as a stage for us to just one one together right you know throw some armies at it we'll throw a few bodies yeah we'll play out a few wars yeah we're not dying yeah a little pop control come on a little pop control you ever ran a simulation on like your ncaa football you're like let it run for like half the season we'll come in finish it up and that's right now continue on just let it let it simulate away and make sure some defense companies are going to be there and they're going to be there and they're going to be there and they're going to be there and they're going to be there and they're going to be there make a lot of money and that we're investing them ahead of time by the way you know we'll throw a few bucks in it too and we founded them you founded them yeah if there's no such thing as a national it's all multinational that's it that's that's all it is but that that is crazy doozy of an article from hen from henry abbott and again maybe it's nothing maybe it's nothing that's what i think it's nothing it could be nothing probably nothing it's probably not nothing do your own research people you decide for yourselves but shout out to the kushners they seem to always come up but hey i mean we said it at the beginning joey thief the most important story of the week with all due respect to the kushners and mbz and all these sovereign wealth funds and the lakers and you know whatever most important story of the week is the massive massive medellin north that was uncovered in state college pennsylvania let's get let's get the breakdown here it really is a happy valley it is they don't they don't even need fresh snow out there the slopes are always covered come on let's pull up that way to get it way to get it done from people can you pull up the first one oh yeah that's very first link i have right there yeah it's that um so this is a quick breakdown if you've been living under a fucking rock and haven't seen the real story that rocked our world this is the one i'm looking for i'm looking for the real story i'm looking for the real story i'm looking for so pablo pledged scabar which of course is a nickname it's pretty hard nickname though fire this dude was a dean's list accounting major joey when you're doing important biz yeah you know and and running as as my friend luis navia would say product yep that's what you refer to it as luis navia was like the chief smuggler of cocaina for the cartels for many years before he went down in 2000 operation journey but anyway when you're doing that you need to be able to crunch the numbers yeah i would actually argue it's a very uh big advantage to have the guy running things also be the numbers guy that's right it's one less thing you got to outsource it's one less thing you got to outsource everyone obviously knows that all ducks are in a row you make sure that you don't have people skimming off the top you don't want that yeah and if you and if the books are going to get cooked you're the one cooking them you're the one cooking them but this dude was a dean's list accounting major at penn state who kept a blog talking about how he was going to get cooked and he was going to get cooked and he was going to get his passion for numbers and financial storytelling unquote he did some financial storytelling and how he wanted to be at the forefront of the financial landscape little did we know he was already ahead of the curve he'd be a kid he also cut his frat brother's hair on the side for extra cash he's a hustler i like that knows how to cut i like this kid meanwhile he's allegedly the top of the entire cocaine chain for the campus which is a rather large campus running kilos out of a sigma chi and delta epsilon house making regular supply runs to philly and new york as you do that's where there's obviously some great supply chains that run through major cities like that and they're both within at penn state i think philly is probably about two and a half hour drive in new york's probably about three and a half so they're both reachable so we'd make regular supply runs to philly and new york and using actual pledges to cut and bag the product as their official quote indoctrination i'm right this is this is this is what we're doing we're doing this is what we're you do when you're managing labor you look for the best opportunities to find cheap labor so that you can reduce costs increase profit and run a good business i see no issues and and with the incentive of the fraternity you know you're going to get trustworthy uh employees because they want into the frat and if you talk you're not going you're not you're not in you're out that's right it's it's kind of like this is very skull and bonesy in the sense that like they get their what do they do with skull and bones they like make them go naked in a fucking they dress up and give up all their biggest secrets and they take weird pictures of them so they can never fucking turn on the place yeah yeah respect but that's what you're saying i mean pure spec this has been handed down through the fraternity it might be dead listen if you have a good operation and you are a senior you are about to graduate penn state yeah which actually as we're going to find out in a minute this guy didn't like the whole passing down thing but anyway the people before him may have been like listen bro the game ain't in me no more i have two kids i can't i can't i need out i can't do this shit bro you gotta take it that's what you do you pass it down and pablo pleskermore takes over but endless summer escapes start here travel the worlds of netflix irl inspired by fan

want to shake your hand can we get the t-shirt please so straight fogel the jokes write themselves because there were 14 people arrested here that included other students and one of the students fathers who's a lawyer who's now who's now been labeled snowpaw like like joe uh dude that's good family fun you apparently create this is a lawyer who put had a safe where he hid money and evidence and whatever so he's been charged with obstructing the investigation but somebody please give me this t-shirt this is gonna be the the t-shirts you for the whiteout oh that's all horrible you know what's gonna happen they're gonna try to ban this from the fucking stadium like if if kids are walking into the stadium with that they're not gonna let them in but if like 25 000 penn state students for i don't know how big the student section is but if that's how big it is walk in with that t-shirt you're gonna ban all 25k and then let in the next 25 who are also wearing the same fucking t-shirt now now i mean i'm sure that there's like some coach somewhere in one of the programs doing crazy shit right now so they're gonna just let it happen bro every time there's a touchdown that's just that's back by the way it's straight smack but every time there's a touchdown this year they could be throwing baking soda in the air yeah like throw it over there like lebron where they they should guys here's one for you you guys should all dress you should do a ski themed game where you all dress up in ski equipment that'd be fun yeah honestly i'm i told you i'm really happy for these kids and you know everybody involved are you happy for me i know that sounds a little dark because we're living in a time where we're talking about you know young kids aren't going out and you know drinking or having fun or engaging with one another you know sexually or whatever and it's nice to see that like there's kids in college that not only are partying and you know selling little toots on the side they're they're doing it they're big doing it and i think if anything it's given it's a little it's a little injection of hope for you know what's going on in our society a little injection of hope joey deef says because these kids are going from penn state to the state pen something yeah like yeah that's that's good there are supply chains in the pens though i do hear that yeah i mean it's just you know i'm just happy to see that the kids are just slinging some bags instead of like hanging in the room and you know watching you know fuentes or whoever you know like this is they're getting involved on campus they're they're communicating with one another obviously the show is satire not to be taking literally youtube but yeah no i'm kidding it's all chill out but this is one of my favorite stories in a while and unfortunately though deef this investigation which by the way this must have been like the fucking super bowl for the local cops around there this investigation started back in the fall 2024 because they had some snitches on the boat well hey you know what i want to know this what do you want how many fentanyl related ods do you want to know how many fentanyl related ods do you want to know have happened on campus during the length of this investigation because if not pretty impressive you know that they were running a good operation with good clean product and i don't know i'm not saying we should applaud them for it but i guess we could say hey glad you guys didn't kill anybody um i recognize that could be a bit callous but you know it's just uh just a joke just a joke no you make a good point that we were we were losing our grip on traditions yes you got you got to bring some back but i do want to say this is also some anti-italian defamation going on here oh why what do you mean because fucking pablo pledge cabar is a member of the boot society oh he is yeah and he's like henry he's like henry in goodfellas like yeah but he's got a last name with a vowel at the end it's like abatiello or some shit like that yeah we don't got that and this is this is always what happens dude they when when when the italians in charge i now they come in i told you he made a whole joey thief wrote a whole play about this i i mean you know i've been saying it it's been happening for over a century one of two things happens the italian gets in charge and he just goes full-blown corrupt fauci cuomo list goes on and on or he gets into power and they're just like oh this olive oil singing voice needs out and they just you know they do this they they do sting operation whack them take them out yeah it's like you know we'll monitor the case we'll see what kind of lawyers these guys get but fucking pledge cabar he didn't even get bail dude apparently that's a little it's a little much but apparently like he didn't show up right away for the arraignment yeah because he's a g he's like rock star is always late he's like fogel and super bad like gangsters chica chica yeah fake id he's yeah he's like fuck that but i think denying bail is a bit crazy like i read that that's a bit much yeah i mean you know what's the line from the sprouts it's a little coke yeah it's just a little coke what do you what do you want yeah wish him well okay we do as tim dillon would say we do wish him well we wish him very well do we have can you pull that data how many drug-related deaths have occurred in happy valley in the past three years how many drug related deaths have have occurred on penn state campus in the last three years but that's see that wording right there on campus so you i'm gonna say happy valley you think the business may have extended past the lines of the students totally they broke those no no no no no no no it's all students i'm just saying that they're not always partying on campus oh right right you know so like have occurred within how about this student within the student body of penn state this is some live research on the show everybody these are the important things that joey def is well because that's going to be big in the trial because if they got a few fent deaths are going to be like these are tied to you son actually that that yeah if they do then okay that's fucked um because that is and we've talked about that before that is the thing with there's no centralized party drugs today it's like it's not like it was even 10 years ago you know because you don't know what the fuck is in them it's scary shit there's no data joey it says there's no centralized or publicly released official statistics given that yeah i don't know if i'd want to be released in statistics like that if i was a college either you know that's actually very fair you know it's like well we only lost two this year yeah it's like well they those were those were children yeah they're fucking kids they have families that's a fair point but you would think like the the local government would i mean yeah i'm gonna all right so how many drug-related deaths have occurred in happy valley state college pa i mean that's the whole town though son i mean the distribution network could have gone yeah but if you're an adult living in happy valley you know it's probably you probably should you know hang it up you know like what kind of like like what kind of day-to-day life do you have living in state like state college i live in i mean really are old school is one of my favorite movies you never know that's right it's never too late it's never too late to go back so wow what uh-oh wow did you find something yeah i mean wow impressive all right um in happy valley state college surrounding uh center county pennsylvania a total of 176 deaths have been recorded since 2013 i will say this if any of those now these kids are in operation over the last five years in this part i say seriously yeah if any of those are tied back to these kids they're fucked oh it's over and they should be they should be i mean all jokes aside because it is a funny story that's what we do here but that's and and again i i don't have kids yet but i think about that a lot like when they're going to be teenagers and everything who knows what the fuck is going to be around by then i have no idea but you don't know in crypto you don't know what you're getting now these days it's not you know you're always whenever you're doing party drugs of any kind obviously you were always taking a risk even if it was the fucking 70s but like the whole you know the precursors and everything that just be thrown into this by people who don't give a fuck all it takes is once and that's a very i talked to a lot of parents about that and of course that's like their number one fear and i totally agree with them i totally understand that yeah no i get that i think there needs to be good education and safety taught yes like um like bunk police i forgot who was on here recently and mentioned them but bunk police is like a 20 testing kit not saying you should do it but i mean for christ's sakes if you're gonna fucking do it yeah throw 20 fucking yeah throw 20 bucks and get a fucking test kit yeah i test them anyway anyway it's funny joe it's funny how many resources they put into catching these kids and as far as i can tell publicly i still don't see any research resources going into phoebe gates well you know who allegedly it's all alleged you know knew about some cookie stuffing that we've covered now on two separate shows yeah but the story keeps getting funnier and by funnier i mean you want to poke your eyeballs out because you can't even write this stuff anymore phoebe gates daughter of bill gates who's never been accused ever ever not once you had never even been accused of being a global elite that wants to you know control how populations exist in this country around the world he has never been accused of that ever no phoebe gates daughter bill gates took a secret stanford course on controlling society and used it to recruit for her startup that's now facing allegations so the first part of the article goes through all the stuff that she's accused of the next part of the article though is through this whole course so the extent of gates's self-conceit may and this from yahoo may also be the result of a secondary education secondary education so it's like you don't get credits for this yeah you get to go upstairs you get to go the secret gotcha a secondary education at stanford university which is known to indulge in privileged people's already heightened sense of self-worth you know whoever wrote that that's a nice sentence right there i like that who's the writer of this article um this is victor tangerman victor you cook there as the student-run newspaper the stanford daily reported in may gates wow that wow that she got outed by the student paper good on them way to be way to be guys good good journalism like that gates even attended a secretive off the books course which was never publicized and required a referral from another student again very skulls and bones called quote so you think you can rule the world unquote or quote rule unquote in the shorthand of the sanford set the content of the course which saw 12 students meet once a week during the winter quarter sounds about as ominous as its name suggests the course's instructor silicon valley investor and stanford graduate justin lewis weber took it upon himself to bring together quote like-minded folks who dared to dream bigger together i love how they dress it up sounds good it's always as a former student put it in the interview with the daily which is stanford paper another student added that the goal was to teach students quote how to essentially hack any kind of power structure or bureaucratic structure and get what they want in a system of people unquote which is definitely not what bill gates and jeffrey epstein spent apparently a lot of their adult lives trying to do it's more quote it's more about identifying the vulnerabilities or loopholes we love loopholes the same student added i think the instructor is less concerned with the ethics of it all and the problem solving elements another student said the course focused on the cynical parts of silicon valley describing the instructor behind it as power hungry intellectual but really focused on profit and power instead of doing good yeah a course called so you think you can run the world is about fucking profit and power and not doing good who would have guessed the course wasn't incidental to gates's professional career either another student told the stanford daily gash patel where are you bro pull up pull up son another student told the stanford daily that gates used the class to recruit for her company fia considering how long gates knew about her startup's dicey and potential fraudulent practice which accounted for over 50 percent of their revenue in june per bloomberg's estimates she must have been taking plenty of detailed notes during the go ahead also go ahead victor come on go ahead these people live by a separate set of laws as you and i now listen thief if cash patel comes down off that fucking fbi jet eyes all wondering you never know where they're looking but he's got that fbi jacket on those custom air forces the right fbi director cash on the back of it you know and comes down in front of a mic and said you know we we have arrested phoebe gates on allegations of cookie stuffing he will get a loud apology from me on this and i will i will and i'll be chinese he'll be chinese but i'll be giving a round of applause i'm just not going to hold my breath to see that day because i'll be dead yeah it's never gonna happen it's never gonna happen but you know in the midst of optically not reading the room we just continue to see more yeah long patterns of not reading the room very privileged kids that you know seem to want to follow in daddy's footsteps pierce back yeah this is this is the year of optics i'll tell you that like if you wanted to ask me what's the one thing you took away from this year with all this stuff i'm like i have realized that people they do not think about how it looks ever they don't ever because there's no punishment no like it's just that's where we're at you just do your thing they can do it fly and then they can look down at you and say what are you gonna do about it and you know what joey thief i'm gonna be honest you and i are gonna sit here and talk into mics on youtube and upload it yeah and that's the extent of what we're gonna do about it yeah unfortunately i i don't have the ability to arrest these people myself you know the best part is we you just said that and some fucking person in the comments is gonna talk so much shit and like they're just sitting at home in their underwear just like ripping comments like that's hilarious good for them like you stupid fuckers just making a podcast about it that's right that's right that's that's that's all we can do on our corner of the internet but we will shine a light on it that's what we do but speaking of optics joey thief you know where you know what some great optics are yeah where when you're the sitting president of the united states and you're extremely unqualified real estate buddy who has been unsuccessfully negotiating along with jared kushner the implosion of what's happening in this iran war for many months now who's been a disaster of a middle east envoy when the two of you you the president and this guy steve wickoff decide to come together while you're still in office and mark it off your name the trump name and the wickoff name a brand new bank they're off that penn state pack this is from coming up with ideas like that that's all i'm gonna say about that this is from karen piper on twitter the trump and wickoff are the same people who are the same people who are the same people who are the same people who are the same people who are the same people the trump and wickoff families are opening a bank in florida the investors in this bank are undisclosed it will not it will not have to follow fdic rules nice and she says pure spec here on karen's part i smell a money laundering opportunity now let's let's read the bylaws that they're whatever the fuck this is then she screenshotted this hold on it gets worse folks upon opening wltc will be a national trust under section 92a of the national bank act including the issuance of usd1 a fiat backed digital asset i'm going to come back to this in a minute designed to maintain a one-to-one equivalence to the u.s dollar wltc will also manage that's the bank the required reserve backing outstanding usd1 comprised of u.s dollars on deposit in financial institutions as well as u.s government money market funds and cash equivalents and engaging custodial activities the spanish bank will also manage the required reserve backing outstanding usd1 comprised of usd1 the sponsor's primary goals are to deliver superior financial products and drive mainstream adoption mainstream adoption of usd1 which will be issued by wltc along with issuance and redemption of usd1 and maintenance of the required reserve wltc seeks to provide digital asset custody services to institutional investors as described in detail in section 3.a of wlt's confidential business plan provided at confidential exhibit b because we gotta be confidentially confidential about this because obviously we don't need to be letting the public know about what we're doing the optics of a sitting president and his fucking unelected envoy opening up a bank that is going to be using said bank to push forward a digital currency that they stand to profit on through their company that they're setting up here the optics are pretty bad there endless summer escapes start here travel the worlds of netflix irl inspired by fan favorites like stranger things and squid game

galleria dallas bring your crew and save get your tickets today at netflix.com slash house and when we're living in a world in this and you know who knows what the grand plan is with usd one which i'm gonna explain more in a second but like so we'll find out then but like when you have people like me and you righteously worried about central bank digital currencies and stuff someone's so high in the power structure setting up their own currency that's crypto backed with a brand new fucking bank that they're setting up almost like a sunset clause after they leave office yeah i i think it's fair to say the tinfoil hat's getting a few buzzes at the top of my head and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna get a little bit of a little electromagnetic waves if you will right yeah especially when you're leading the adoption of this cool new set digital currency um i don't really like that i don't i joey deep doesn't like that that's on the record because what happens when you're not the president anymore you guys are still this is uh you know doesn't sit well with me i'm at a loss for words how you doing at a loss for words i don't like joey deep let's let's talk about what usd1 is though this is straight from google ai you know the most basic ai there is that definitely is not in any way compromised anyway usd1 is a digital dollar peg stable coin created by world liberty financial a cryptocurrency venture co-funded co-founded by donald trump and his family of course it's family fair what usd1 is usd1 is a cryptographic digital asset designed to maintain a stable value of one u.s dollar it is backed by cash equivalent short term u.s government treasury bonds because of course we got to get the government and their bonds involved and dollar deposits launched in march 2025 it has grown significantly reaching over four billion dollars in circulation in circulation the newly approved world liberty trust company received preliminary conditional approval for a federal national trust bank charter which is what we just read from the office of the comptroller of the currency of course the government that he runs gave the approval for the fucking thing that they're asking for that makes i wonder how that would happen yeah but what's important is that it removes middlemen this charter allows the trust company to directly issue redeem and manage the cash reserves themselves backing usd1 instead of relying on external third party custodians like bitco that's it it's good biz joey thief you cut out the middleman you create more vertical integration yourself and boom yeah right i can't argue with that that's good biz i guess the institution operates strictly as a trust bank rather than traditional consumer bank it does not issue standard customer loans or hold ordinary retail bank deposits because that would require them to work with some normal people which you know that's not a part of his base at all right no no i don't know who tells him him being donald trump that it's a good idea to do this stuff or maybe he just genuinely doesn't give a fuck and wants to continue playing opposite day and rubbing it in your face and you know i take that one yeah right and behaving like what appears to be a very very big trojan horse whatever it is if there is someone who's advising him to do these things and telling him that it looks good allow us to be the realm of common sense here and say stop none of this looks good it this doesn't require tinfoil hat to at least a certain level here for sure this is just a bad look it's profiting in my opinion it's a bad look it's profiting off the presidency his whole thing that he said when he came out in 2015 at first it was i'm totally self-funded my campaign i'm not doing this so you know i i could just go back to be a billionaire which was fair and then he got an office he said i'm not taking whatever it is the four hundred thousand dollar salary the president gets or whatever and i'm removing myself from my businesses okay cool but now we're in term two and his family's we've already laid out a bunch of his family's profit and off of weeks and weeks weeks and weeks and weeks of it you know we'll keep going through it as we find more and now he's just directly involved i saw data maybe we can pull it up joey d if i didn't pull this up before but that he just had like his most successful donald trump and his in his publicly available financial disclosures had his most successful year ever or something last year it's like it just stinks man like these are the same guys that even fairly so we're calling out corruption with like hunter biden and the bidens and selling access and stuff like that which by the way they had a lot of evidence for that i'm not arguing with that at all but we're you know they're talking about 10 million dollars and 20 million dollars which is a lot of money but we're talking about things that are in the billions with these guys you know and i came up with a line the other day with joe b warwick we're gonna have another episode with him coming out on tuesday his fourth time on the podcast and we're gonna have another episode with him coming out on tuesday his fourth time on the podcast really really enjoyed that one great discussion just recorded it but you know i was like the biden administration was akin to someone turning the fucking water on and leaving the house for three weeks the trump administration is akin to someone busting the fucking pipes and leaving the house for three weeks they're both bad they both waste water one's doing it passively one's doing it aggressively at this point i don't see any data from our respective power structures that end up in the white house that can show me otherwise you are literally stuck with just bad choice and bad choice which it's been that way objectively for a while in my opinion i should i should say subjectively in my opinion there that wouldn't make sense to say objectively but it's been that way for a while but god damn it's like that old sign our expectations were low but fuck holy fuck man like this low it's dumb but at least we can all coalesce around something yeah yeah we can all coalesce around the flock cameras joey yeah i guess so huh see darth vader made an appearance yeah darth vader shilling can we pull that up what the fuck's that that's who i want shilling flock cams that's good branding that's good branding right there i i know you don't want to agree with that but you know it's true yeah i don't like it i don't like it i don't like it first link under flock right there i hope i didn't fuck this one up too but darth vader showed up at a city council meeting and defended garrett langley and his fleet of by the way what did forget forget i already mentioned earlier his last name being symbolic but like what did dystopian name flock you know like who did this it's it's kind of perfect but it's so dystopian is that that yeah all right let's let's full screen this get this for people so this is darth vader at the public safety committee coming up for a non-agenda public comment i'm just reading the screen here like ron burgundy i don't know what that means thank you it's been a great day love thank you darth vader oh my god he said that's his name too when you call me up the emperor is a fan of flock and we must continue utilizing flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground from playground to pool from pool to gymnasium because we all know that the flock cameras are not only following the license plate readers they are following children they are following children in parks and gymnasiums and we need this i need this so i can stalk my ex-girlfriend love a good bit that's awesome that's awesome you're seeing look you are seeing a lot of people from a lot of political backgrounds by the way i'm seeing some i mean this is some unanimity yeah on this who are upset about these things going up everywhere because it's now a visual like i said earlier the phone creates this kind of illusion because we're in it we email on there we text on there we do everything we're not actively thinking about it and we should be we should be but these things right out in public very three-dimensional with a one-dimensional task look at you and god knows what happens after that people have every right to be upset about this they have every right to question all the money from an investment perspective that has flowed into these technologies into flock we've seen the laundry list of that that includes peter teal of course because he's always involved in this kind of stuff apparently you know people have a right to be angry about that and now you're talking about do you see that right there i have a link right there that there is there's even a discussed plan it's it's from a leaked internal 2025 meeting so this has not happened yet to be clear but this is a discussion that has happened behind the scenes about converting ubers and so this has not happened yet to be clear but this is a discussion that has happened behind the scenes like to all my law enforcement guys out there i i say this because i've had a few conversations this week with some law enforcement guys who have reached out very classily by the way i haven't had anything nasty we've had some nice back and forth who've reached out and said hey these cameras are making my job easier and i'm able to um we we we are able to prevent this from happening and i'm able to prevent some crime and things like that i said hey guys let me assume because i don't know any of these people they're all just reaching out they could be horrible guys they'd be great guys i want to assume they're great guys i'm like all right let me assume you're a great guy who takes his job seriously and really does want to stop crime and prevent it and help people that's awesome when you create the precedent to be able to do this you are also creating the precedent for the bad guy holding your same badge that you don't know about the rotten apple if you will to do the same thing this is called human nature is the definition of a slippery slope. It is exactly what our founders warned about. And so it has disappointed me when guys who are in law enforcement, who are paid to uphold the law based upon people's constitutional rights, cannot see the irony of preventing crime by violating potentially, or I should say, let me be fair, opening up the door for the violation of people's constitutional rights in order for that to happen. That's not supposed to be how it works. And whenever I've said to these guys, like one line I've given these guys is they're like, what's your big issue with the flock thing? And I say, I've read the book 1984. And again, let's say, let's not be a hypocrite. Let's not ignore these phones. These phones are an issue. But in public spaces, against Trump, your will, all these things going up, we played the chart a few weeks ago of how correlated they are with January 20th, 2025, when Donald Trump came in and his first day, the next day in office, he's doing a press conference with Larry Ellison and fucking Sam Altman about the AI state. Like we've been seeing these bars. And by another thing, people are talking about, well, are you going to talk about companies like Axon, which we have already? Yes, we will. I talked to someone this week. Yeah. About that a little bit as well. And at some point we're going to do a podcast. I'm sure that's going to come up. Flock is just the symbol. There are a lot of other companies that are looking to do this and would love, would love to see flock unseated so that they could come in there and say, no, no, no, we're doing it the right way. I actually, I didn't tell you this Joey Deve. I got an email the other day. I won't say the name of the company, but I got an email from a company that does the same thing flock does asking to come on the show because they're looking to do this. And I said, well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't like, yeah, no, I'm so happy you're going after flock. We're going to do this constitutional way. I looked into it for about five minutes. I'm like, yeah, that's not what you know. It's just, it's laughable. And this company, it also does, it's a joke company. Like they're not going to make it. I'll just put it that way. But you know, you see this stuff happening and you have a right to ask questions. And, and again, optics, the worst people, you know, are the ones who love this. You got that video of Barry Weiss down there? Yeah. Let's pull that up. So Barry Weiss, owner of the free press, very fairly bought for around $200 million because all her fucking 500 views per video on YouTube were certainly worth that. Who's now also somehow in charge of CBS and running that fucking place into the ground. Barry Weiss, his key issue is Israel. That, that's her own admission. That's her number one issue on everything. Barry Weiss purchased by Larry Ellison to come do all these things. And, you know, have editorial over CBS and run the free press and, you know, get that $200 million, which is nothing to him for the rights to the free press to bring her into the operation. Barry Weiss, of course, through the free press loves flock. And she wants to use her publications and her media outlets to make sure, you know, let's run this video, Joey thief. That's the panic behind a new fear sweeping across America. People are freaked. Get a good looking woman, you know, it's going to be okay. It's going to be all right. I look good. You look good. Maybe we can get out of here and get some dinner. Listen about these flock camps. Go ahead out about surveillance from our employers, our nanny cams and our phones watching our every move. And right now this anxiety is being taken out of electric saws and cans of spray paint on tools used by law enforcement to keep us all safe. The target is also flock safety cameras in upstate New York. Someone cut down the flock safety camera with an electric saw in Oakland, California. Another was covered in paint. And, in Idaho, someone rammed one with our truck. And in good old Florida, a man just sits in his lawn chair with a cardboard held up for the pause that real quick. Go back to that guy. Hold on. Let's get that on the screen. Nothing to go back a little bit. Not all heroes wear capes, bro. Look at this motherfucker. This is down in Florida. I don't know this guy's name. I see a little tag down there at the bottom. I don't know if it's an associated account. It says at Harbor honey, underscore, I guess that's on X. This dude, I don't know if it's an associated account, it says, this dude is holding up a fucking black screen sitting in his lawn chair to block the camera from seeing everything. That's a goddamn American right there. And that is the best of what a Florida man has to offer. So well done, sir. All right, let's keep it going. Since January, roughly 23 cities have canceled their contracts or shut off their flock camera over a fourth amendment. There's even an open source intelligence. She's reading the script. I mean, not that we didn't know that already, but they fucked up that one right there. She was literally reading the fucking board at the side before that cut. Go ahead. Finding this camera. So people know exactly where to vandalize them back on that. I'm sorry. There's so many things here, Jody, if I'm making you work, my bad. Go back to that map real quick. It's a real blind spot on the upper West side there. No. Yeah. Upper East got it. Upper East has a little, but upper West. Under darkness up there. They need a hero that they deserve, but not the one they need right now. Jersey city. They got some in Jersey city too. I don't see any Hoboken. We're looking okay right now. That's good. Exactly where to vandalize them. Here's what's actually under attack in 2025 alone. The system helped only 10,000 missing about 27 people a day or about one every hour over 40%. That's what they do. They hide. Positives up front. That is what you call the outside of the Trojan horse to convince you that this gift is a parting offer of peace. When in reality, they're going to come out, kill your fucking families, rape your wives and sack the whole city. Anyway, let's continue. Agency said flock help recover over half of the stolen vehicles in their jurisdiction. In Indiana, an infant abducted at a shopping center was found. In Ohio, a miss even had to go inside for that. And she went inside. She's like, let me sit down because this is going to get nuts. And she's, and she's doing it. She's doing the leg cross, the sexy leg cross. I, let's say I, I appreciate the marketing efforts here. I see, I see optically what you're trying to do. And girl was located in under 30 minutes. And this is the tool that people are treating like the enemy. It is fair to have concerns about how companies use and track our data, but that's not what these cameras are for. To be blunt, they're not interested in you unless you're a kidnap. Or a thief or someone who intends to do harm. That's right. They're never going to be interested in you. They're never going to be potentially, I don't know, taking control of by government forces, bureaucracy to maybe install a little central bank and digital currency and surveillance. They're not, it's never going to happen. And in fact, George Orwell was a fraud. There's nothing he wrote that ever predicted any trends or patterns that could ever happen in society. In fact, I think all his books are rags. They have, they have no, Joey D, you're the literary guy. They have absolutely no symbolism that we should ever pay attention to. And in fact, we should just mock him for being a complete and total retard, right? Yeah. Why would I listen to a guy who ate chocolate bars to get by? That's right. Why would you listen? I didn't even know that about him, but obviously I'm, I'm, he went down rough times. I'm being quite sarcastic there. George Orwell certainly was cooking. He was certainly cooking ahead of his time. And, and, you know, I got to give Orwell a little shout out. When I was a kid, some of those books, like you would think like when you're in eighth grade reading it, you don't get it and you don't get it all the way because you're still 13, 14 years old. But like he wrote it in such a way that even before I understood how a lot of the world worked and systems and stuff like that, I got it to an extent. I got it more when I was older, but like even back then I got it. And I remember friends of mine who also had to read the same books in school. Certainly a lot of us were using SparkNotes as well. I'm not going to lie about that, but like we all got it. We got it. We got it. So shout out George Orwell, but Joey Deef, thank you for running through the board. Once again, my friend, we've done 29 of these now. You're fucking killing it. Everyone give their, give their love to Joey Deef. Follow him at Joey Deef on Instagram and at Toke Malone on X.

FAQs

Netflix House at Galleria Dallas is an immersive entertainment venue inspired by Netflix fan favorites like Stranger Things and Squid Game. It features themed experiences, arcade games, exclusive merch, and themed food and drinks.

The Lakers sold for $12.5 billion to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. The deal was reported by multiple outlets, but the financing details are questioned because both buyers' combined wealth is significantly less than the purchase price.

Mark Walter is under a massive federal investigation for tax fraud. This investigation is relevant to the Lakers sale because he was the majority owner selling the team.

Mubadala Capital, a sovereign wealth fund from Abu Dhabi, previously invested $10 billion in Mark Walter's business. Speculation suggests the same money may be behind the Lakers purchase through Josh Kushner and Bob Iger.

Pablo Pledzcabar is a nickname for a Penn State dean's list accounting major who allegedly ran a cocaine distribution network on campus. He was arrested along with 13 others, including a student's father, for drug-related charges.

It's a secretive off-the-books course at Stanford that required a referral and taught students how to hack power structures. Phoebe Gates attended it and allegedly used it to recruit for her startup, Fia.
