Sidelining Joe Biden, why Trump upsets the deep state (2m3s)
- The Biden family's story, as told in the book "Laptop from Hell," is an appalling one that hasn't received the scandal it deserves, especially given the intelligence community's insistence that the infamous document with 51 signatories claiming it was Russian disinformation was a crooked political move (2m31s).
- The same unaccountable cabal of the intelligence community, including the CIA, FBI, and state department, that protected Joe Biden and his family from the consequences of their greed are now propping up Kamala Harris (3m41s).
- There is an overlap between the signatories of the dirty 51 letter and those who signed a letter claiming Kamala Harris was the most capable and serious contender for commander-in-chief, with about nine individuals signing both letters (4m3s).
- The markers of success, including money, fame, and power, are not inherently bad, but a small percentage of hypersuccessful men are willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of success (4m37s).
- The definition of success integrates the idea of the journey and the destination, and it's not a place you get to and stay (5m15s).
- The Biden family's misdeeds are still relevant, even if Joe Biden is no longer in office, as the same individuals who protected him are now influencing the potential presidency of Kamala Harris (5m49s).
- The story of the cover-up and who's behind it is the biggest story, and looking at the comparative presidencies of Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama can reveal the agenda of the cabal behind it (6m40s).
- The CIA, Pentagon, and State Department, referred to as the "blob" or "Deep State," view Donald Trump as an existential threat to their power and control over the presidency, which they have enjoyed for a long time (7m13s).
- Trump approached foreign policy problems with logic and common sense, seeking the most effective and efficient solutions, unlike the traditional approach of the "blob" (7m42s).
- Trump successfully addressed the North Korea issue by charming or threatening Kim Jong-un, which led to a decrease in nuclear tests, despite being mocked for his approach (8m12s).
- Trump also managed to contain Vladimir Putin, who did not invade his neighbors during Trump's presidency, unlike during the Obama and Biden administrations (8m40s).
- Trump's unpredictable nature and willingness to use strength made him a formidable leader, and he was able to wield the mightiest military in the world effectively (9m12s).
- Trump's policy of "peace through strength" led to the defeat of ISIS, and he also made progress towards peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, although he did not receive much credit for these achievements (10m33s).
- Trump's successes on the world stage earned him the enmity of the "blob," as he did not follow their traditional approach to foreign policy and threatened their power and control (11m5s).
- The Biden administration, on the other hand, has taken a different approach, enriching Iran and reanimating the Iran nuclear deal, which Trump had previously cancelled (9m51s).
Motivations and makeup of the cabal, demonizing Russia to distract us (11m11s)
- Donald Trump's strength and weakness is being uncontrollable, which is due to his assertive, extroverted, and open personality, as well as being somewhat disagreeable, making him a handful as a kid, but also having a compassionate side and a strong work ethic (11m16s).
- The cabal, also referred to as "The Blob," consists of various actors, including the CIA, Pentagon, FBI, Department of State, Department of Justice, and the IRS, who are working together to protect and groom Joe Biden for their own interests (16m0s).
- The cabal's motivations include demonizing Russia to distract from the real threat of China, which is aggressively imperialistic and has a significant impact on the United States, while also protecting their own interests and investments in Ukraine and other countries (14m11s).
- The Biden family, particularly Joe and Hunter Biden, have been involved in questionable business dealings with China, including Hunter Biden receiving 10% of a Chinese company during a trip to Beijing in 2013, which raises concerns about their loyalty to the United States (15m40s).
- Joe Biden was identified early in his career as a useful puppet for powerful mentors, who placed him on the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, where he served for a decade, and cultivated him for their own interests (16m57s).
- The cabal's protection of Joe Biden includes the IRS, which was involved in his investigation, and other government agencies, which have worked together to cover up his wrongdoing and promote his career (16m9s).
- The Ukraine-Russia war has resulted in tens of billions of dollars being dumped into Ukraine, which is one of the most corrupt states in Europe, raising concerns about where the money is going and what interests are being served (13m20s).
- The cabal's actions are driven by a desire to maintain their power and influence, and to protect their investments and interests, rather than serving the best interests of the United States (15m57s).
Russia, Ukraine, and Burisma (17m19s)
- Joe Biden was wined and dined by the leading lights of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and returned full of admiration for China, similar to Tim Waltz, which led The Weekly Standard to write a cover story mocking him as "The Manchurian Candidate" (17m21s).
- This admiration for China raises questions about the focus on Russia as an existential threat, which is considered preposterous, and suggests that there may be a substantial amount of money involved, with Wall Street interests being served (17m54s).
- The military-industrial complex and the money it receives from pursuing foreign wars, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, may also be a factor in the situation (18m13s).
- Joe Biden, as vice president, frequently flew into Kiev and lectured Ukrainians on the evils of corruption, but the Ukrainian people were aware that his son, Hunter Biden, was on the board of Burisma, the most corrupt company in Ukraine (18m34s).
- Hunter Biden was being paid a million dollars a year, making Joe Biden's words on corruption seem hollow (18m59s).
How much is the Biden family really worth? (19m4s)
- The Biden family's wealth is difficult to estimate due to a complex network of shell companies and foreign business dealings, with much of the money being shunted through these companies, involving extended family members, particularly Hunter Biden (21m29s).
- The Biden family's foreign holdings are substantial, with around $30 million in suspicious transactions found during Joe Biden's vice presidency, according to the Republican impeachment investigation in the House (24m6s).
- The investigation found that Joe Biden himself received two checks for $200,000, which was about 10% of a deal involving Jim Biden and Hunter Biden (24m30s).
- The Biden family's financial dealings raise ethical and legal concerns, particularly given Joe Biden's position in the Senate and his role in shaping US foreign policy, including his support for NATO enlargement and his involvement in the Ukraine (19m22s).
- Hunter Biden's involvement in his father's foreign affairs voyages and business dealings is seen as unusual, given his personal struggles and lack of expertise in the relevant fields (22m32s).
- The Biden family's financial activities have been shrouded in secrecy, with the use of shell companies and complex financial transactions making it difficult to track the flow of money (21m42s).
- The investigation found an email on Hunter Biden's laptop discussing the division of equity in a business deal, which raises questions about the Biden family's financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest (24m46s).
30 million from China, Kevin Morris (24m49s)
- Two $200,000 checks were made out to Jim Biden, Joe Biden's brother, in a convoluted fashion, with the money eventually being deposited into Jim's account, then withdrawn in cash, and deposited into another account, before a check was written to Joe Biden with the memo line "loan repayment," which the White House claimed was repayment of a loan from Joe to Jim (25m28s).
- There is evidence on Hunter Biden's laptop that he was funding Joe Biden, paying some of his bills, including maintenance and upkeep of his Delaware estate, such as a painting, a retaining wall, and new air conditioning (26m2s).
- Hunter Biden was also paying for a cell phone bill of Joe Biden's and was using money from various sources, including Joe Biden's Delaware donors, to pay family bills that Joe might have been liable for, such as Hunter's and his brother Beau's tuition (26m29s).
- The direct evidence linking Joe Biden to untrackable payments is relatively trivial, but there is a larger amount of around $20-25 million from China, mainly from the company CFC, which was the capitalist arm of the Belt and Road initiative (27m28s).
- CFC targeted Hunter Biden through a parent at his daughter's school and his business partners, and they worked together to open doors for CFC around the world, using the Biden name to make inroads into countries that might have been reluctant to take China's money (28m0s).
- The payments to Hunter Biden, including a diamond, were only made after Joe Biden left the vice presidency (29m8s).
- Hunter Biden received a significant amount of money from various sources, but mostly spent it on his lavish lifestyle, including crack pipes, hookers, and large alimony payments to his ex-wife (29m33s).
- Some of the money also went to other family members, including Jim Biden, and the widow of Hunter's brother, Beau (29m21s).
- Hunter Biden had a 10% stake in a company called BHR, which he obtained during a trip to Beijing with his father, Joe Biden, on Air Force 2 in December 2013 (30m5s).
- The value of Hunter's stake in BHR is unclear, but it may be worth several million dollars (30m15s).
- Hunter Biden was forced to hand over ownership of his BHR stake to Kevin Morris, a Hollywood attorney who has been funding Hunter's lifestyle since 2020 (30m20s).
- Kevin Morris paid off many of Hunter's debts, including his ex-wife's alimony, IRS problems, and child support for a child he had with a woman in Arkansas (30m39s).
- Morris's payments helped prevent these issues from damaging Joe Biden's presidential campaign in 2020 (31m27s).
- Kevin Morris has testified that he loaned Hunter Biden around $6 million, but the actual amount could be as high as $10 million (31m49s).
- The money Hunter Biden received came from backroom deals with foreign companies, which he largely squandered, apart from his stake in BHR, which is now owned by Kevin Morris (32m3s).
- Kevin Morris has given or loaned money to Hunter Biden, and when IRS investigators looked into Hunter's business dealings, they wanted to interview Kevin Morris. (32m19s)
- The IRS investigators also looked into whether the money Kevin gave to Hunter was a violation of federal election laws, as it could be considered a donation in kind to Joe Biden's campaign. (32m35s)
- When the IRS and FBI tried to investigate Kevin Morris, the prosecutors told them to stop, and the IRS investigators were eventually told that the CIA had intervened and summoned the prosecutors to Langley CIA headquarters. (33m0s)
- The CIA told the prosecutors that Kevin Morris was off-limits as a witness and could not be interviewed, but the grounds for this decision are unclear. (33m10s)
- The CIA appears to have a shadowy presence in the Biden corruption case, often intervening to save Hunter Biden from trouble, and some of his business partners were even approached to work for the CIA. (33m25s)
- Devon Archer, one of Hunter Biden's business partners, reported being approached by the CIA to work for them, which may be related to their international travel and liaison work. (33m44s)
Was the 2020 election stolen? The potential effect of suppressing the Biden laptop story (33m54s)
- Hunter Biden was placed on the board of the National Democratic Institute (NDI), a CIA cutout, before joining the Burisma board, which is peculiar and may have signaled that he was under the protection of the CIA when involved with people in Ukraine (33m54s).
- The CIA's involvement in the story is intriguing, including the "dirty 51 letter" from 51 former intelligence officials, 42 of whom are CIA, which was instigated by Anthony Blinken, who is now the Secretary of State (34m49s).
- Anthony Blinken called Mike Morell, a former acting director of the CIA, to put the idea for writing the letter into his brain, which Morell has testified to under oath, despite Blinken's denial (35m17s).
- The letter claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, which was also reported in a USA Today article anonymously sourced, likely from the same people who signed the letter (36m7s).
- The censorship of the New York Post's laptop story by Twitter and Facebook close to the election may have had an unknown effect on the outcome, but it is known that the censorship occurred and the laptops were real (38m14s).
- The 51 people who signed the letter claiming the laptop was Russian disinformation may have contributed to the censorship and potentially impacted the election (38m41s).
- The use of words like "disinformation" and "misinformation" can be problematic, as they can be used to indicate that information is false without providing evidence (38m51s).
Trump’s accuracy on pinpointing serious issues (38m54s)
- The use of terms "misinformation" and "disinformation" can be seen as propagandistic weasel words, and the person who decides what constitutes these terms is a fundamental issue (38m54s).
- 51 intelligence community agents signed a letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, which was later proven to be a lie (39m16s).
- This lie was used to cast suspicion on a country the West is now at war with and may have tilted the election in a way that cannot be easily quantified (39m36s).
- The 51 agents who signed the letter may have been pleading ignorance, but their actions could be considered traitorous (39m52s).
- The letter had to be cleared by a classification review board within the CIA, which realized its political nature and sent it to Gina Haspel, the CIA director at the time, for approval (40m31s).
- Gina Haspel greenlit the letter despite knowing that the laptop was not Russian disinformation, as the FBI had already ascertained its authenticity and the evidence on it was fit to be used in court (40m54s).
- The laptop was used as evidence in Hunter Biden's conviction in June, proving that the CIA knew the truth about the laptop's authenticity (41m20s).
- The operation was a CIA domestic election interference operation, greenlit by Gina Haspel, and many of the signatories were active contractors with security clearances (41m38s).
- The signatories have refused to respond to inquiries or apologize for their actions, despite the revelation that the laptop was not Russian disinformation (42m3s).
- The incident is considered a significant scandal, potentially bigger than Watergate, and raises questions about the accountability of those involved (40m10s).
- The laptop in question, often referred to as the "laptop from hell," contained damning information about Hunter Biden, particularly regarding business and personal corruption, which was released at a suspicious time, a week before his father, Joe Biden, announced his presidency (43m23s).
- The contents of the laptop were real and revealed unflattering information about Hunter Biden, including his business dealings and personal life, such as his affair with his brother's wife and the uploading of explicit content (43m51s).
- Hunter Biden's actions, as revealed by the laptop, demonstrate a distasteful and twisted character, showcasing a deep-seated anger, bitterness, and resentment (44m12s).
- Former Intelligence agents falsely claimed that the laptop was Russian disinformation, which constitutes two crimes: spreading false information and associating it with the Russians, who had no involvement (44m50s).
- These agents, along with Twitter and Facebook, conspired to censor a major American newspaper that was reporting on the scandal, just before an election, pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people (45m7s).
- It is puzzling that former President Trump did not make more of this scandal, as it could have dominated debates, such as the one with Kamala Harris (45m26s).
- A case is being made that active CIA agents, not just former agents, were involved in knowing exactly what they were doing regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story, and that they did so intentionally (45m42s).
- Five former CIA directors or acting directors, including John Brennan and Leon Panetta, signed a letter claiming the story was a Russian hack and leak operation, despite having no evidence (45m54s).
- The FBI had pre-bunked the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop in meetings with Facebook and Twitter executives before the story was published, warning them to look out for a Russian hack and leak operation likely involving Hunter Biden (46m28s).
- The FBI had been spying on Rudy Giuliani's iCloud account as part of a foreign agent registration violation investigation, which ultimately did not result in any charges (46m54s).
- Rudy Giuliani believes the FBI was spying on him in order to gather information on Donald Trump, but Trump does not text frequently, limiting the potential information gathered (47m7s).
- In August 2020, John Paul MacIsaac, the owner of the laptop repair shop, sent a detailed and forensic email to Rudy Giuliani outlining concerns about crimes and national security issues related to the contents of the laptop, particularly regarding Ukraine and Burisma (47m25s).
Joe’s disappearance is a weak attempt to distance him from Kamala Harris (47m51s)
- Joe Biden's disappearance from the media radar is seen as a weak attempt to distance him from Kamala Harris, as he is considered too cognitively impaired to be a candidate for the next presidency but is still president (49m27s).
- The Biden campaign and the CIA allegedly worked together to squash a story about Hunter Biden before the election, with the CIA writing a letter to give Joe Biden a talking point in a debate against Donald Trump (48m43s).
- The letter, written by Mike Morell, was part of a specific political operation that successfully killed the story, and social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook also throttled accounts and locked the New York Post account to prevent the story from spreading (48m37s).
- Hunter Biden was convicted of gun felonies in Delaware in June and is awaiting sentencing, which is conveniently scheduled after the election (50m19s).
- Hunter Biden also pleaded guilty to felony tax fraud in California in September, but his current status is unclear (50m36s).
- The lack of information about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's situations is seen as peculiar, especially given Joe Biden's position as president (49m35s).
- The timing of Hunter Biden's sentencing and trial is seen as convenient, as it is scheduled after the election, which may be an attempt to avoid drawing attention to the issue during the presidential run (50m27s).
How was Joe removed from candidacy? Getting back at Harris (50m40s)
- Hunter Biden is expected to be sentenced after the election, and tax fraud charges by the IRS could result in significant jail time, but it is likely that Joe Biden will pardon him before January 20, despite previously stating he wouldn't. (50m42s)
- Joe Biden's disappearance from the public eye is convenient for the Harris campaign, as it allows her to distance herself from the disasters of the Biden-Harris Administration, including the economy, inflation, and the influx of 10 to 20 million illegal migrants. (51m23s)
- The media is complicit with the Democrats and will help the Harris campaign by making Joe Biden disappear, as he has become unpopular with the American people and had no chance of winning the election. (52m27s)
- Donald Trump has regained momentum in the polls and has successfully tied Kamala Harris to the disasters of the Biden-Harris Administration, while Harris herself has been a disappointing candidate. (52m54s)
- Despite being president until January 20 of next year, Joe Biden does not seem to be in control, as evidenced by his absence from a situation room during a recent conflict between Israel and Iran, and the lack of response from Kamala Harris. (53m26s)
- The cabal that controlled Joe Biden and will control Kamala Harris appears to be in control, rather than the elected administration. (54m3s)
- Joe Biden's cognitive decline was evident during the 2020 election, particularly when he struggled to read from a teleprompter in small town halls, but his cognitive issues were covered up (56m0s).
- Biden's cognitive problems seem to be intermittent, and he has had times where he appears cogent, especially during big set pieces like the State of the Union or G20 meetings (56m49s).
- His cognitive issues may be related to brain aneurysms and brain surgery he had in the 1980s (56m56s).
- It appears that Biden's team can control the timing of his cognitive issues for big events, but during the debate against Donald Trump, he seemed unprepared and struggled to form sentences (57m20s).
- The people around Biden may have deliberately allowed him to participate in the debate without proper support, which could have been a way to get rid of him as a candidate (57m48s).
- After the debate, Biden's family, including Hunter and Jill, wanted him to stay in the race, but he eventually dropped out due to a lack of support from donors (58m25s).
- Donors rallied around the Democratic party about a week after the debate and stated that they would not support the party if Joe Biden was the candidate (58m34s).
- An article in the New York Times on September 24th revealed that Kamala Harris was part of the group that opposed Biden's candidacy, and her friend, Laurene Jobs, the widow of Steve Jobs, was also involved (58m52s).
- A billionaire, the richest woman in America, hired a former staff member of Barack Obama to conduct focus group polling, which found that Joe Biden had no chance of winning the election (59m2s).
- The billionaire circulated the damaging information among other Democrat donors, leading them to conclude that Joe Biden was not a viable candidate and should be replaced (59m18s).
- Following a New York Times article revealing this information, Joe Biden began to undermine Kamala Harris, with two notable incidents being his intervention in her public feud with Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida (59m32s).
- Kamala Harris had criticized Ron DeSantis for allegedly ignoring her phone call regarding his hurricane preparation, but Joe Biden suddenly appeared on camera, overshadowing her and doing damage to her public image (59m56s).
“I don’t know what to make of her,” what motivates Harris (1h0m0s)
- There were instances where Joe Biden undermined Kamala Harris, such as when he praised Ron DeSantis, calling him a great guy, and when he took a press conference in the White House, where he has never been in his entire presidency, to make sure Kamala didn't take credit for the impending longshore strike resolution (1h0m1s).
- The timing of Joe Biden's actions suggests he may not have been aware of Lauren Job's role in donors pulling their support from him, and that Kamala Harris regarded Lauren Jobs as family, having brought her into the White House when she was sworn in (1h1m3s).
- Joe Biden was reportedly very angry, along with Dr. Jill Biden, about a speech Kamala Harris gave in Pittsburgh about economics, where she didn't mention "Bidenomics" or pay tribute to Joe Biden (1h1m42s).
- Kamala Harris made a significant mistake in her campaign when she said she couldn't think of a single thing she would do differently from Joe Biden, which stunned many and seemed unprepared (1h2m10s).
- Joe Biden is seen as a brilliant political strategist who has outsmarted the Democrat brains trust and Kamala Harris, and his motivations are mixed, as he would like the Democrats to win but also wants to be vindicated as the man who managed to vanquish Donald Trump (1h3m21s).
- Kamala Harris's motivations and actions are difficult to understand, and it's a mystery why women seek power when it doesn't necessarily make them more attractive to men, unlike the correlation between socioeconomic success and sexual success for men (1h4m8s).
- The correlation between socioeconomic success and sexual success for men is significant, but for women, it's zero or even slightly negative, as high-status women can be intimidating to men, causing their mating pool to shrink (1h5m0s).
Unexpected classism at the heart of the political divide (1h5m34s)
- The discussion revolves around women in power, specifically Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, with the latter being described as a mystery due to her lack of apparent interest in policy and the administrative side of things (1h5m35s).
- It is speculated that Kamala Harris may be driven by a desire to prove herself worthy, possibly due to her parents being PhD holders and her not being academically clever, and that she is more interested in accumulating status through her career (1h6m32s).
- Harris is described as being more interested in celebrity status rather than actual power, and her public appearances and interviews suggest that she may be shy and nervous, often speaking in a condescending "baby talk" tone (1h6m55s).
- This condescending tone is seen as a form of contempt for her audience, which is distinct from Donald Trump's approach, who is described as being good at interacting with people in a spontaneous way and not being dismissive of "Ordinary People" (1h8m12s).
- The Democrat Elite, including Harris, are seen as being supercilious and contemptuous of the working and middle classes, especially when it comes to education, whereas Trump is able to connect with people from different backgrounds (1h8m27s).
- Harris's lecturing tone is compared to that of Queen Marie Antoinette, looking down on "little people," which may be why the Democrat Elite and Harris dislike Donald Trump, who represents a more down-to-earth and relatable figure (1h9m43s).
The New York Post: a bastion of real journalism (1h10m2s)
- The Trump derangement syndrome is partly caused by classism, as the educated elite are horrified by Donald Trump's taste and demeanor, which they consider declass and preposterous (1h10m35s).
- Trump's character is reminiscent of Colonel Tom Parker, with a bigger-than-life salesy element that is quintessentially American, and he is very good at marketing and communication (1h11m41s).
- Trump's personality is complex, with a narcissistic element, high extroversion, and a sense of humor that can be impolite and vicious, but he did not conduct himself like a true narcissist on the international stage during his presidency (1h12m45s).
- Unlike true narcissists, Trump is willing to share the stage with people like Elon Musk, JD Vance, and RFK Jr., which mitigates concerns about his narcissism (1h13m45s).
- The New York Post has managed to be a bastion of actual journalism in a sea of sycophantic propaganda, and it would be interesting to discuss how they achieved this (1h14m16s).
- The New York Post, led by Miranda, broke the Hunter Biden laptop story and faced consequences for their efforts in genuine journalism (1h14m36s).
- The CIA, State Department, and "The Blob" are strongly opposed to Donald Trump, and he has already suffered two assassination attempts (1h15m22s).
- Trump's potential return to power poses a significant threat to these groups, who may go to great lengths to prevent it, as they did in 2020 by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story (1h15m51s).
- Trump has a team behind him, including Elon and RFK Jr, who are loyal and smart, and may help him clean up corruption (1h16m0s).
- RFK Jr has suspicions about the extent of the evil of the deep state, given what happened to his father and uncle (1h16m18s).
- The idea of letting the 51 individuals involved in the corruption off the hook does not seem like an appropriate response, and trying them for treason may be more suitable (1h16m55s).
- The actions of these individuals reek of treason, and it is uncertain what they may be capable of if they feel cornered and desperate (1h17m25s).
- The situation is frightening, and it is uncertain what the future holds, but it is clear that interesting times are ahead (1h17m40s).
- Miranda and the New York Post are examples of real journalism, working to uncover the truth in a sea of propaganda (1h18m2s).
